But as for Queequeg--why, Queequeg sat there among them--at the head of the table, too, it so chanced; as cool as an icicle. To be sure I cannot say much for his breeding. His greatest admirer could not have cordially justified his bringing his harpoon into breakfast with him, and using it there without ceremony; reaching over the table with it, to the imminent jeopardy of many heads, and grappling the beefsteaks towards him. But THAT was certainly very coolly done by him, and every one knows that in most people's estimation, to do anything coolly is to do it genteelly.

'Dr.' Dean found another review that liked Sex and the City 2, thank you very much. She'll show YOU! I guess it is just the sense of helplessness--no, that's what they like to talk about, it's direct impotence without any rupture at all--they're just behaving like barfers on New Year's Day, the type that actually brag about it.ReplyDelete
I put this example because, even if you're not a fan of NYTimes, this is so brazenly idiotic like the rest of the hysterical thrill of LOVING this stupid ass movie, that it was worth extracting. 'Singlehandedly' is made up, 'gushing over 10 million dollar weddings' has always been in the 'society pages' of metro newspapers, but pure lunacy about the restaurant reviews, it's like the person hadn't even read the New York Times. They have every range of restaurant, down to very cheap places, and $150 is just part of the food-throwing these people are doing. They're saying 'aren't we so cute talking about this movie' and really making a big deal about it. The ballet board is little better, mind you. The one that turns everything into a 'women's issue' ('We have Brigitte Bardot to thank for making nice girls make themselves ugly', she once wrote, and yesterday wrote that she was going to show 'sisterly solidarity' by going to see this movie:
"it is the NY Times that is almost singlehandedly responsible for backing the yuppification of the island of Manhattan. This is a newspaper with society pages gushing over $10 million weddings and whose restaurant reviews are strictly devoted to venues that will cost you $150 per meal."
And that's even an important detail, because even the expensive ones like Daniel Boulud wouldn't cost that much unless you really splurged on the expensive wines, but there's always a way around that, with the glasses with the courses. Even the one time I went to Le Cirque, it was about $200 for two of us in 2002, although I paid slightly more (by accident and not paying attention to the aperitif and liqueur costs) at a less prestigious restaurant, Rene Pujol, which I like very much. But it's just not even true that NYTimes does restaurant reviews with only super-rich in mind. I stopped reading at that point.
The very idea of a second Sex and the City movie being taken so seriously really is some sort of grotesquerie, though. They remind me of beer parties at frat houses, no better than that.
there is certainly misogyny on display in the intensity of some of the reviews, as in discourse about (and in some cases, state conduct toward) Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Condoleeza Rice, Heidi Fleiss, Imelda Marcos, Leona Helmsley, Martha Stewart,... Countess Bathory....hardly an argument for considering these individuals revolutionary communists. And the frenzied loathing and fear of women of a certain age on display in the franchise and its reviews, supercharged in Sex and the City 2 reviews (and i assume in the film) doesn't say much about the particular catalyst for this ever more frequently errupting crazed woman hating.ReplyDelete
The film is doing fine without the academic pr. It needs no rescuing by psoodexegesis - that's superfluous, but i guess it makes the academic pundit feel somehow a participant in the creation of the cocaculture commodity to which s/he is fanatically devoted and the success of the enterprise in accumulating capital. whoohooo! you go ruling class!
"And when I mention Hillary, it's not because I admire her, which I don't, but because of the way she was ridiculed as a woman during the campaigns...Not since the nasty sexist campaign to drive Hillary Clinton out of the presidential race, has there been such an attack on anything expressing female political or sexual empowerment…" (Prairie Miller quoted by Proyect http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/sex-and-the-city-2/)ReplyDelete
This is a fine analogy because its certainly not unlikely that, like Clinton, SATC 2 is in fact a misogynist, racist, imperialist and reactionary commodity the sole purpose of which is facilitating capital accumulation, despite being the object of misogynist attacks as part of its promotion.
I don't know, Dominic doesn't like to appear 'mellow', although by nature basically is (which you can tell from the singing and guitar, not that Noise shit, which I don't care about, nor some of his other rock tastes, but he's nothing if not eclectic and interested in many things), because has to do British stiff-upper-lip frequently (I understand this need, although I have to do another version--but had forgotten about 'You go!' ...so 2005...ReplyDelete
But so the way to read his posts is to skim until you finally start reading, he wants to come on all technical or semi-technical, knowing you don't want to hear it, but by the end of this one, he'll then come up with some fragments that are worth paying attention to:
"(Consider, for example, the popular science journalism which informs us breathlessly of the "significance" of discoveries without being able to render anything more than the most perfunctory caricature of what has actually been discovered. All it knows, and all it cares to report, is the impactfulness of that which is impactful)."
Seems obvious once you hear it, but I wouldn't have gotten around to thinking about that on my own (you probably would, not so lazy brain-wise.)
And then this:
"It is misguided to try to violently puncture "the spectacle": it is not a realm of illusion covering a more fundamental reality, but a worldly apparatus which shares its world with the very objects whose manifestation it re-objectifies. Its powers are not really so great: it flourishes where other powers wane. Finally, as a parasitic redoubling of objectification, it is unable to stand against the creative unfolding of a subject, the determined re-entanglement of formal innovation with the unobjectifiable real."
That may be derivative, and I've thought along these lines myself, but it still has a way of delivering the message in a vertical way, not needing to be more ambiguous for a moment. After all, one can always go back to irritating incomprehensible complexity. 'It flourishes where other powers wane' is very good, and reminds me of when we were talking about Lynch several years ago, and we were talking about how there are aspects of spectacle that do try to then cover up the fact that, although other powers wane and have waned, they didn't disappear into various ersatz forms everywhere. In that sense, even Sontag was right to call some of the overdone claims that media and the dominant-virtual, and claims that you'd find 'real time' via a fax machine in Tierre Del Fuego (that was just wanting to be a pain in the ass when he said that, I imagine, B. I mean...)'a breathtaking provincialism', since it obviously wasn't any more capable of spreading WiFi to parts of Zaire than it was getting people hooked up in poor parts of Philadelphia. I mean, I thought the CIA could figure out where anybody was, but that one guy that hid in the Appalachians for several years, I believe a murderer, had such rural connections that he wasn't found by FBI...we have to use these euphemisms these days, you know, even though the euphemisms are themselves often literally factual.)
I found this hilarious paragraph from Sandra Lee, Queen of Semi-Homemade Cuisine's website. Sandra is now on the road, standing by her man, and I don't approve of having a first lady like this. She says you must used canned Vanilla Frosting and 'enhance' it with cocoa and cinnamon. I really just don't know why anybody complains about Maggie Stewart...ReplyDelete
I think this sounds like just the thing for Jodi and her girlfriends to do after their next movie outing, whether or not they choose it because it has been demolished by vicious critics:
"Enjoy cocktails with the girls as you make soothing hand cream. These make great end-of-the-school-year thank-you gifts, and come with a downloadable gift tag."
Here is the whole website, if you wish to be methodical in your study of Sandra Lee...
She has some Artificial Red White and Blue Cupcakes for 'Dad's Day', while I thought it was gracious of me to ask someone to give a New York Dad something more along these lines, suggested by emails I received this very week from ABC Underwear. I thought the Suspension Jock was the only good one of these, because two guys could wear them and do a kind of dance like Eiko and Koma, while using soothing ylang-ylang cream...

Dearest Arpege,
I am currently at work on my lessons, and oh my! what a flurry in the house! We have been busy as bees and I dare not assume I may catch up!
To wit, I am practising making sentences with 'gainsay' in them. I wish to make a fresh start in life as young woman of 21 before the young gentleman, otherwise of such fine character, is rendered incapable of not wishing to deflower and thence the enravissement (sp.?).
Well, I will start with this one:
1) I wish to gainsay all reviews, both mainstream and bleug, of 'Sex and the City 2', because I believe that calling this object a 'film' is worthy of gainsaying.
2) It is entirely possible that all buildings of a modernist variety which have bougainvillea or frangipani and other frivolous tropical and odoriferous blooms in front of their otherwise admirable Brutalist Facades must be gainsaid with the mere newly-minted phrase 'replete with orchidaceous superfluities that do not become the no-nonsense puh-poses of the style'.
3) I may need to gainsay myself if I am herein guilty of risible yet loathsomely dangerous Howard Johnson style euphemisms, which may require a separate trial in which they will be accused of the crime of 'not having self-gainsaid enough'.
4) I gainsay the notion that Owen Hatherley wants an apartment replete with French Empire style, unless it's the way Jackie Kennedy did the Blue Room. In that case, he may also wish to have some corners replete with the old French Provincial Style (but not from Sears) that Barbra Streisand used in her first post-kook 'n' thrift store period.
Thank you for your time and uncooperation.
Salutations distinguees,
Pamela Andrews

Oh dear, I think it's more like lapses of TASTE, and a wrongful worship of SATAN! Of course, I wish I could give him lessons in how to do that properly, but he's gotta have an outlet, and it's BONDAGE! I guess...much like when you said Andrea dworkin thought sex and violence were one and the violence was the good part.
Do you know what this shit sounds like? It sounds like my father's construction company, which built roads and poured concrete, even built swimming pool once, and he had this concrete mixer, and was always talking about 'slag' and 'curb 'n' gutter'. Oh shit, this stuff is not only awful, it's pedestrian. Oh well, I thought you'd want to know that it's not nearly as bad as when I didn't think he could write beautifully (that one poem about two months ago was just exquisite), but you probably thought I'll excuse the pretty ones anything (well, yes, but not without letting them know they truly have DEFICIENCIES!)
I HATE this shit! Was interesting to know that the Downtown Knitting Factory closed last year, that had good stuff by Ben Katchor, his weird musicals.
"Dominic likes this satanist noise my friend Piotr the satanist buddhist who follows the lamas likes. It's so lowbrow, a funny combo with his taste for canonical british littrachuh. I suppose the low and highbrow can go together - the real menace is the nobrow and the middlebrow (sex and the city) - the mass cocaculture."
Yes, it's not such a serious neurosis, and anyway we know Dominic likes to be a pain in the ass. But this crap is musically worthless. As I said, he really is interested in all sorts of things, so I guess stifled people who look they themselves went to the Hemlock Society and breathed nitrous oxide or whatever it is they use to kill themselves with. Jesus, why people want to get tied up just for the hell of it I'll never know. I can't get into physical bondage that much anyway. Had old boyfriend wanted me to tie him up in 70s, I thought it was too much trouble and that we should just fuck.
I think this weird shit with the hearts and crosses person from Yugoslavia reminds me of that scene from the Shining, where Shelley Duval finally sees that Jack has been writing profoundly nothing except 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. Could easily be Martin of Shanghai, she'll do anything AT ALL to be a smalltime bore.
This was of some interest. Is Chabon's famous book 'Amazing Adventures..' a must-read. I kept planning to read it 10 years ago, and never did.
Dearest Pamela, gainsay me now when I attest you may believe me, for laughing amidst the sneezing and cough, your fluish but amused debtor, chabertReplyDelete
NOT! Gainsay me not!ReplyDelete

A Crisis at Tulsa's Crime Lab
A Crisis At Tulsa's Crime Lab
The Tulsa Police crime lab is in a position it's never been in before, with a 6-month backlog for DNA results. That means even violent cases, like rape and murder, are in limbo while victims wait for answers.
News on 6 crime reporter Lori Fullbright says Tulsa's only DNA analyst predicted to us 18 months ago that this crisis was coming, that's because, even in a city with more crime than Oklahoma City, they have five people working on DNA and Tulsa has one.
Walter and Grace Brown [pictured] were murdered in their Tulsa home in April. Police had no suspects until a series of violent attacks targeted older people.
The clerk of J&J was beaten and robbed, the owner of Grandpa's furniture, beaten and robbed. Then, 68 year old Alonzo Tibbs was beaten and killed in his home on North Hartford.
Tulsa Police arrested Billy Marshall, a convicted criminal now charged with murder and robbery. It's only logical, detectives would wonder whether Marshall was connected to the Brown's murders, so they sent DNA to the lab in early summer and waited, and are still waiting, even though it's now November.
Tulsa Police Sgt. Mike Huff: "it doesn't give much hope to a family that's hanging by every piece of information."
There are close to 20 murder cases on hold, awaiting DNA results as well as rape cases and other violent crimes. That pushes property crimes like burglaries to the bottom of the pile. "Technology is wonderful, but, you need to have people to feed the technology."
Dr. Valerie Fuller is Tulsa's only DNA analyst and even though she is doing four times as many DNA cases as the national average, the caseload is just too great.
She told the News on 6, 18 months ago, the city must hire more people or the lab would be in a crisis. Now, it's here.
Part of the backlog is due to the serial rapist investigation. The lab can do 36 DNA samples a month. 177 men were eliminated as serial rape suspects, which put the lab nearly five months behind. The lab does work for Tulsa Police, the Tulsa County DA, the public defender's office and has had to stop assisting other agencies recently, like Broken Arrow and Sand Springs.
Tulsa does now have two DNA analysts in training; one will be ready to begin hands-on testing in January, the other, by summer. But Tulsa will still be behind other comparable cities in the number of active DNA analysts.
Could they send these DNA tests to labs elsewhere? Officials say it costs Tulsa less than $100 per sample to test here. It would cost a $1,000 a sample to send out, plus, the expense of flying that person to Tulsa to testify.
The lab says DNA in the Brown murders should be back in a few weeks.

Today is Monkey See Monkey Do Monday. You know what that means? Yep, time to hop over to another blog to see my inspiration. This was inspired by Mandy over at Chameleon Stampede. Check her HERE .
MSMD does not always have to be complicate or intricate. Sometimes it is just a gorgeous combination. As soon as I saw Mandy's mani, I knew I wanted to recreate it on my own nails, only with flakies instead of glitter.
|Without Flash
|With Flash
Finally I added 1 coat of Color Club Snow Flakes. In my opinion this is miss named as the flakies flash red, yellow and green. I added one coat to my ring finger and a gradient on all the others. Subtle but interesting!
So what do you think? Like my gif? Don't ever want to see one again? Tee hee. Check out :all" the other MSMD manis (tee hee).

Mermaids. What sort of picture does that word draw in your head?
The seashell bra clad mermaid, courtesy of Disney?
Or the one baring sharp incisors and pointing spears at you, courtesy of J. K. Rowling?
I will not quote the Goodreads synopsis or write one of my own, because I tried and it sounded like the one on Goodreads anyway – which I hated because it made me not want to read the book. It sounded all girly (excuse the reference to the stereotype) and romance-y with some conflict thrown in for the sake of. So why did I read the book?
Because I trusted Jennifer Donnelly after reading Revolution (three cheers for historical fiction). If you haven't read it, fix that blunder pronto.
Serafina does not wear a bra of seashells (or if she does, it's not mentioned).The lifestyle of the merpeople in Miromara closely resembles the Disney version, albeit a better one. She's the principessa of Miromara, and a descendant of Merrow, the much revered first ruler of the mermish kingdom. We meet her on the day of the Dokimi, when she's declared of the blood of Merrow. If she isn't she becomes dinner of a certain sea – spider. And if she miraculously somehow manages to survive that, she should be able to impress the merpeople with her excellent songspell abilities. And then she should take her betrothal vows. Did I mention she is sixteen?
But why all this? Qui Merrow decrivit.
That isn't the story, by the way. AT ALL. Nuh-uh. But if I divulge that information, you won't get surprised by the twist in the storyline like I was. Withholding privileged information, bloggerverse.
It's been so long, like since Harry Potter and Eragon and the Hunger Games, that I've come across a book with such awe-inspiring world building and conceptualizing. Merpeople have currensea, and conches to study; phrases like "put a fin wrong" and "family coral", make pets of octopuses (ok maybe thank you, Disney), go "shoaling", and have amazing friends like Neela (who is as important as Serafina by the way – GOODBYE SIDEKICKS) who keep bingeing on zeezees.
This book also flaunted POC characters that didn't seem out of place or feel like unnecessary additions to make people happy. The prologue was unexpected (in a very good way). The writing was the only thing that didn't make me happy enough. I don't know if I really liked the third person narration, I guess it was necessary for briefing the reader – but I wanted it to be more subtle, and not informational. And sometimes the narrator's point of view switched between characters abruptly. Sometimes the language turned a tad too dramatic.
WARNING: Do not read the Goodreads reviews criticizing the puns. *flips a fin*
WARNING: Do not read the Goodreads reviews criticizing the puns. *flips a fin*
I'm saying hell, yes to the Waterfire Saga anyway.
VERDICT: 3.5 stars

Updates, Announcements, + Exciting Things To Come!
So I have a few quick updates and things and things that I want to say!
- First off I have been posting so much recently with around 3 reviews a week and other posts such as book promos and cover reveals. And my occasional book hauls that I forget to post! (sorry!) Which had made my life crazy busy especially my personal reading school starts the 6th for me and I haven't finished my summer reading! Also i wanted to list the books that I read that aren't for a tour or for review that I read so that you guys can tell which ones I should review first~
Which order should the reviews be in-
- Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder
- The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
- A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
- Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
- Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
- The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
- The Twenty by Claudia Carozza
- Also I have come up with a new way in which I want to organize my reviews that just saying this is what I thought to make them more orderly and professional.
A Rating system of 6 Squares! So I am thinking of dedicating a whole post to my new idea after I have implemented it just to see what you guys like dislike what needs work!
So I have also changed the menus up top recently. There is the REVIEWS page that in alphabetical order lists all the reviews with links that are on this blog. Also that page is where you are welcome to suggests books to me to read that you noticed aren't there or ask if me if I read something that didn't get a review and that you want me to review it!
And even more recent the REVIEW REQUEST page that has a google doc for any publishers or authors who are looking to get there book out there and have it reviewed or promoted here. Already I have two requests which really excites me.
Now with over 350 followers and one full year of blogging coming you can be sure that there is a giveaway coming up!
I would love if you guys comment below if you have a blog and post a link to it so I can follow! Do you have a badge thingy for your blog ? I made one it isn't that great but I dig it!

We provide enjoyable educational video games within the form of online actions for youngsters and interactive whiteboard assets for academics. And we have energy as a result of there are more than 3.2 million people who find themselves keen to pay us tons of of millions of dollars in dues each year, as a result of they believe that we're the unions that can most successfully characterize them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education staff.
Whereas PISA, the triennial worldwide survey testing the abilities and knowledge of 15-year-outdated students, assesses education methods as an entire, the PISA-based Test for Schools assesses particular person faculties utilizing the PISA scale to show how they compare with college students and schools in education methods worldwide.
The Education 2030 Framework for Action guides UNESCO and companions' in implementing the Sustainable Development Goal four. It recognizes that governments have the primary accountability for successful implementation, comply with-up and evaluation and that nation-led motion can drive change, supported by efficient multi-stakeholder partnerships and financing.
It might even offer them a better evening's sleep in the event that they know prematurely that they will not receive a name in the early hours of the a.m. For lecturers who name out sick on a sure morning, Kelly Educational Staffing office staff do make these early morning calls to fill wanted spots, but for essentially the most part, a pro-active substitute trainer can plan their own jobs upfront utilizing this technique.

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Murderous Requiem by Jamie Fessenden
Published by Dreamspinner Press on 2013-04-01
Genres: Gay, Paranormal, Suspense
Reviewed by Lisa
Jeremy Spencer never imagined the occult order he and his boyfriend, Bowyn, started as a joke in college would become an international organization with hundreds of followers. Now a professor with expertise in Renaissance music, Jeremy finds himself drawn back into the world of free love and ceremonial magick he'd left behind, and the old jealousies and hurt that separated him from Bowyn eight years ago seem almost insignificant. Then Jeremy begins to wonder if the centuries-old score he's been asked to transcribe hides something sinister. With each stanza, local birds flock to the old mansion, a mysterious fog descends upon the grounds, and bats swarm the temple dome. During a seance, the group receives a cryptic warning from the spirit realm. And as the music's performance draws nearer, Jeremy realizes it may hold the key to incredible power-power somebody is willing to kill for.
Eight years ago Jeremy Spencer turned his back on the occult order he helped found. Back then glutting on sex with his partner Bowyn and others in the group was sublime. Eventually Jeremy wanted more. He began to crave a monogamous relationship with Bowyn and a future together without the input of others in the Order. When Bowyn refused him, Jeremy left the Order to pursue life in academia as a college professor teaching Renaissance music.
The memories, both good and bad return when Jeremy is asked back to decipher and interpret a medieval musical score supposedly written by an occult master. His feelings for Bowyn never changed and it appears that his ex-lover may finally want more.
Working on the score and giving life to the music begins to worry Jeremy as inexplicable happenings crop up. Feelings of danger and dire warnings make him think that he should stop his work. Maybe this score shouldn't be heard aloud, especially if it threatens the man he loves. Others think him foolish and it may be too late already, but Jeremy has to do whatever it takes to protect Bowyn from an evil conjured from the past.
Battling the occult and memories of a broken relationship never resolved wear down a scholar in Murderous Requiem. Suspense and mysteries grow by leaps and bounds in this intense drama where pulling back the layers only leads to more questions. Presented from Jeremy's point of view he bares his soul, his past hopes and dreams, and current fears with the Order. There's plenty of hot sex which is pertinent to the storyline. Murderous Requiem gives detailed occult information throughout the story though it doesn't go into anything creepy or grisly. More along the lines of an erotic whodunit tale, Murderous Requiem is a fascinating original.

"Baby Bump"
Very high on my list of things that I hate is the term "baby bump." Why, why, why does this term exist? It is constantly printed in publications like Us Weekly, on blogs like popsugar.com, and even on eonline.com and the Huffington Post. It's obviously a product of celebrity-obsession and its strange subgroup, celebrity pregnancy obsession, but it just sounds so stupid. I'm not sure who coined the term, but every time it is used I feel like the piece was written by a giggling teenager who got a 450 on the verbal portion of her SATs. (I realize I have dated myself in that last statement, because apparently the SATs are now graded on a scale of 2400, rather than 1600, but...oh well.)
Can't these publications add some variety (and maturity) their terminology? Perhaps we can look at a pregnant belly? Or maybe we can just say that someone is showing? Or that it appears they may be pregnant? Would that be so awful? Instead it's all baby bump this and "Bump Watch" that. Is it supposed to be cute? And if so, why? Why is pregnancy something that is supposed to be adorable? Is the term supposed to be witty? Because repeating an inane phrase in every pregnancy story you write is not the definition of wit. Are they just really big fans of Fergie and feel that because "baby bump" rhymes with "lady lump" they must use the term ad nauseum?
I realize that the target audience of these publications includes teens and pre-teens, but sites like popsugar and the Huffington Post are looking at my demographic as well, right? I know that I would never use the term "baby bump" in conversation, and I can't imagine anyone I know doing so. I understand that celebrity pregnancy is somehow trendy, but enough already. Trendy does not have to equal inane.
Of course, once that baby bump turns into an actual baby, the parents will be "over the moon." And you all know how I feel about that.

Planting for the Plantcutter
The endangered Peruvian Plantcutter (Phytotoma raimondii) is endemic to the coastal dry forests of northern Peru. As an herbivore its survival depends on sites with a good diversity of plant species and such areas are becoming increasingly scarce. With a total population estimated around 1,000 individuals the Plantcutter is in serious problems, more so when this population is highly fragmented at numerous sites from Ancash in the south to Piura in the north. Complicating conservation activities further is a massive die-back of the Algarrobo or America Carob tree (Prosopis pallida), which is the dominant species in the dry forest landscape. Moreover, Algarrobo together with the bush Palo Negro (Grabowskia boerhaaviifolia) are the main constituents of the Plantcutter´s diet.
Given the precarious situation of the Peruvian Plantcutter, Green Tours has been helping efforts to restore its habitat. With an agreement with the SOS Peruvian Plantcutter project, led by Jeremy Flanagan, Green Tours has sponsored a plant nursery to enable the propagation of native species important for the Plantcutter and the dry forests of north Peru.

PARIS (Reuters) - Air France (AIRF.PA) unions do not intend to renew their strike notice, two union officials said during a meeting on Monday, after the French carrier was plunged into turmoil by the resignation of its top boss.
Shares in parent Air France-KLM closed nearly 10 percent lower on Monday, after striking airline staff rejected a wage deal offered by managers and CEO Jean-Marc Janaillac said on Friday he would step down.
Staff walked out again on Monday and were due to press on with planned stoppages on Tuesday, but unions did not intend to call for more strike days following their meeting, the officials said.
Instead, labour representatives will demand to meet with Air France management, they said.

Joseph, Mary and Jesus. God did not make easy for Joseph. But He gave him dreams that saved his marriage
By Julio Severo
The correct way for people to be married is no sex and no pregnancy before marriage. But this did not happen in Joseph's case — not because of his decisions or sexual impulses. He was not to blame.
By the knowledge he had from the Scriptures, there was absolutely no case of God doing it to any woman in the Scriptures. If Joseph discussed it with theologians, they would assure him: "There is no Scripture support for a pregnancy by God. This goes against Scriptures!"
The sense of human righteousness would say to Joseph: "Your bride betrayed you! She could have chosen to leave you to have sex with another man, but she chose to do it while officially engaged to you! Betrayal!"
Any other man, with this sense of righteousness, would leave her and make sure that everyone learned about her infidelity and betrayal. After all, in a way or other he was also being humiliated by her "betrayal."
Yet, Joseph's righteousness was not grounded on human feelings. It was grounded in the Scriptures, in a righteous and merciful God.
"Her husband Joseph was an honorable man and did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to break the marriage agreement with her secretly." (Matthew 1:19 GWV)
"Joseph, chagrined but noble, determined to take care of things quietly so Mary would not be disgraced." (Matthew 1:19 Message)
"Joseph, because he was kind and upstanding and honorable, wanted to spare Mary shame. He did not wish to cause her more embarrassment than necessary." (Matthew 1:19 The Voice)
In Joseph's mind, there was a sin: Mary pregnant outside marriage by other man. It was his moral right to bring embarrassment to her for what she did against him and his marriage. But he chose mercy in a situation involving sin.
In that time, women could be stoned by sex outside marriage.
What made him change his mind? Some powerful theological advice? No such advice would be available, because all theologians would agree that God was not involved in such pregnancy.
"While he was trying to figure a way out, he had a dream. God's angel spoke in the dream: 'Joseph, son of David, don't hesitate to get married. Mary's pregnancy is Spirit-conceived. God's Holy Spirit has made her pregnant.'" (Matthew 1:20 Message)
When God's Word and its official interpreters (theologians) seem not to have an answer for such dramatic situations, God speaks — in dreams, in visions and other powerful ways, even a voice. And God spoke to Joseph.
Joseph did not understand why only his bride was chosen to get pregnant outside marriage by the Holy Spirit. Obviously, no one else would believe it, perhaps even with the assistance of a dream.
Of course, the followers of Jesus would believe, because they had contact with the same Holy Spirit who had impregnated Mary. They had dreams, visions and supernatural gifts from the Holy Spirit. When theologians are unable to explain what God does, the Holy Spirit explains. And often He does not explain why and how, but only that it was God.
God could have sent his angel to Joseph to say: "After your marriage to Mary, I want you to live in abstinence for some months, because the Holy Spirit will impregnate her."
Of course, Mary would also need a dream or vision to confirm such humanly ridiculous declaration. Such arrangement (a divine pregnancy after marriage) would spare Mary and Joseph public embarrassment and would greatly facilitate the maintenance of their sexual and religious reputation.
Yet, God chose not to spare her and him. Now, this was only between God and both of them. No one else would understand it. Even theologians in their time would not understand it, because there was absolutely no Scripture support for it.
God did not make easy for Joseph and Mary. If He had let them choose if they wanted or not an embarrassing pregnancy outside marriage, they would answer NO. They would ask God for a non-embarrassing way.
But the total choice was His, and their only answer should be: to accept His supernatural interventions, including angel visitations and dreams.
When they did not understand, they let God speak. And He did. And they listened.
Yet, there are no theological dreams. They are from God, not theology. Later, after the birth of Jesus, Joseph had a dream telling him to flee for Egypt. (See Matthew 2:13) He fled with Mary and boy Jesus and saved His life. But if he had consulted the Bible for literal direction and advice about fleeing for Egypt, he would never do it. Why? Because there are many Bible passages where God commands not to flee for Egypt.
So in an attempt to conciliate his personal dream with the Bible, Joseph would never flee for Egypt. Evidently, his case was prophetically in the Bible, but there is no evidence that in that time Joseph understood it.
Joseph had and accepted the dreams not to produce new doctrines, but to save first his marriage and later his son.
Dreams are not to produce new core doctrines, but to guide men and women who believe in the Bible how to save their lives, marriages, jobs and other people.
If Joseph had depended only on the literal teaching of the Scriptures, which were silent on his particular case, or on their official interpreters (theologians), he would have left Mary.
But a dream changed his life. A dream saved his marriage. A dream helped him save baby Jesus. God's strategy is often to confront enemies. David, with God's assistance, did it to Goliah. In contrast, God wanted Joseph to flee to a nation He had told often to Israel: Do not flee to there!
Dreams do big miracles when the individual receiving them has his mind and heart filled with God's Word.
If he were a non-theological unbeliever, Joseph would say, "God saved my marriage from a problem He himself provoked!" He would add: "Instead of provoking problems, God should have given me houses and riches."
If he were a theological unbeliever (a modern cessationist), he would have rejected dreams, visions and Mary and her pregnancy by the Holy Spirit. If a woman said to a cessationist that that she received an angel visitation, he would send her to a psychiatrist. Thank God, Joseph was not a cessationist!
Evidently, Joseph would have loved if God had told him: "I will give you a major government job!" After all, God is powerful and can give powerful blessings.
And if Mary were a modern woman and the angel had given her an opportunity to choose between a high-paying job and a pregnancy, she would choose the first option, and both she and Joseph would jump for joy!
Yet, there was no dance in the case of Joseph, who did not understand what was happening. He loved God's Word. And he respected Word's masters (the Jewish theologians). But all of them were not enough to explain the strange events in his life, especially the very strange pregnancy of his bride. To go through his hard times, he chose to give preeminence to Word's God and His dreams.
The God who helped Joseph with a dream promised to help people in our last days with the same supernatural resources:
"And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" (Ac 2:17 ESV)
"In the Last Days," God says, "I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters; Your young men will see visions, your old men dream dreams." (Ac 2:17 Message)
With such resources, the impossible becomes possible and a prophetic God, with his prophetic plans, makes himself available to save your life and marriage.
Without dreams, it would have been impossible for Joseph to marry Mary.
His walk by faith with dreams from God is an example to everyone who love Jesus.

It's 5 am when the baby won't stop coughing. I scoop her up and head downstairs where I can hold her on my chest and hope to get a few more minutes rest before the day begins. She's soon asleep, but despite my best efforts it seems I'm up for the day.
I log on Twitter and read a few news articles. The world is just so full of upsetting things and I'm constantly torn between the urge to bury my head in the sand and the desire to be informed. I pause at one article that makes me soul sick and then, though I know better, commit the cardinal sin of internetting - I read the comments.
And that's when my chest feels like it's been hit by a ton of bricks and that little flicker of hope within me for the human race seems dangerously close to being snuffed out. Scrolling through things other humans have said - some of them truly awful - makes me gasp for air.
These ultra-connected times bring with them good and bad. The good - we can be informed and help people that perhaps before we wouldn't know existed before now. The bad - every horrific event, every evil act seems unbearably close. The ugly - the comments section and the ease of typing things behind a computer screen that should never be said.
I shut down the computer and head into make coffee. It's hardly 6 AM and if I'm not careful, this deep gut sadness can take over my entire day. It's a helplessness that is overwhelming, that feeling of lung-crushing desperate darkness all around, threatening to suffocate every good and happy thing. How can I raise my kids in a place like this? How can I lead them in light when darkness is so near on every side?
But all is not lost. I get my coffee, settle down on the couch and pull up another website. Outside the wind rattles cold and stirs leaves in mini tornadoes down the street, but in here with my baby asleep on my chest, I find something warm. Something comforting, as only truth can be.
I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
In this little house, with all these little precious souls asleep upstairs, I make my choice. As long as there are people in this world who refuse to be swallowed up by hopelessness, there's still something worth fighting for.
It's 6 am, a new day, and though I'm tired and weary and soul sickened, I'm ready to begin. Leading the way with the seven I've been charged with, training up my own little band of warriors to be love and shine hope. It will take courage. It will take strength. It will take the rest of my life.
It's the only choice.

I am almost done moving stuff/crap from the old trailer to the new trailer. A few more hours and I will be done thank goodness. I did sweet talk a nice electrician take down the address sign and company name sign from the old trailer and install it on the new trailer. For his efforts I told him I would make him some cutout cookies.
So when I got home from work I made a double batch of dough and relaxed a bit while it chilled in the fridge. It was after 7 before they were baked and decorated. I was so tired that the last few scraps ended up in the bin rather than as 2 or 3 more cookies. I was just too tired to deal with it. Here are the results of my efforts. I sure hope he shows up today to get them.
There were two male mallard ducks taking a swim in the drainage pond at the job site. The dirt moving around them doesn't seem to be bothering them.
Here are my steps for yesterday. What this doesn't show is all the boxes and crap I carried up and down stairs. I am waiting for that feeling that my stamina has improved instead of just being tired.

Okay, so this is a little embarrassing, but it seems I'm having trouble keeping up with blogging again. It's hard to manage so many things at once, so for now I'll have to tide over my creative writing topics with some "What If?" Writing Prompts. Thanks for understanding! Since I haven't featured some in a while, now may be a good time to share a few more fantasy and science fiction prompts. See what stories you can create from these ideas! Enjoy!
What if… you and your pet switched bodies for a day?
What if… you had the power to rewind time at will?
What if… you found a portal to another dimension hidden in your own basement?
What if… all humans were naturally born with different magical abilities?
What if… you discovered that your computer had the ability to think for itself?
Have fun writing more fantasy and science fiction tales!
If you have any "What If?" writing prompt suggestions (for any theme), please feel free to share them in the comments below. Ideas I like may be featured in future "What If?" posts, with full credit and a link to your blog (if you have one)! Also, if you've written a piece based on an idea you've found here, be sure to link back to the respective "What If?" post. I would love to see what you've done with the prompt! Thank you!

Our intrepid campaign chasers are still at ground zero for this election, taking in in rallies, phone banks, volunteer meetings, and local news and perspective that you simply can't get from the national media. Stacy's been observing details, and Ali's been crunching numbers, to some up with interesting observations:
In the Information Age, everybody can see the polls, and this has been the most extensively polled presidential race in American history. Yet we arrive at Election Day with the outcome still very much in doubt, thanks to the cleverness of the Romney campaign. It was brilliant how, in the past 10 days, Mitt's team seized the initiative and "expanded the map," making plays in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. With the polls showing Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado all within the margin of error, Romney made a bold gamble that clearly confused Obama's brain trust: Was Mitt really so confident of carrying the key swing states that he felt he had the luxury of pushing for a mandate or, alternatively, was Mitt so worried about the Ohio polls that he was seeking an alternate route to 270 Electoral College votes?
At this point, it's moot. The upshot is that Romney's gamble threw the Chicago gang off-stride, forcing them to send Obama and his top surrogates to play defense in states that had been thought safely "blue," preventing the Democrats from piling everything they had into Ohio. Granted, Romney has had to make visits to defend Florida and Virginia — both of which should be safely in his column on Election Night — but somewhere in the third week of October, looking at the Big Picture, Mitt decided to go big or go home, and this is perhaps the only reason that he's still in the game on this final Monday.
If he had played it safe, Romney would have lost. As it is, he's got a chance to win…..
Here are some of the recent posts from their trip:
- Nov. 5: OHIO: IT'S MITT'S TO WIN
- Nov. 4: OHIO OR BOSTON?
- Nov. 3: OHIO: MATH IS HARD

Finally, don't forget to vote – this is a swing state, too!

In my first post on this blog, I briefly discussed two different "kinds" of atheism: strong and weak (also known as positive and negative, respectively). It has recently come to my attention that there is more confusion than just between the types of atheism, but also how they relate to agnosticism and theism. So I have decided to create a post that details concise defintions and descriptions of each of the common positions regarding the various orientations toward the existence of God and what we can know about it.
First, I would like to explain the most common position we should expect to find in America: theism. Theism is defined by philosophypages.com as "[b]elief in the existence of god as a perfect being deserving of worship." The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy also says that "[t]heism is the belief in a "personal" God which in some sense is separate from (transcends) the world." Together, we can condense these definitions into one: theism is the belief in the existence of a personal god who is perfect and transcendent. Now, to further clarify on this defintion, I would like to explain what we mean by "personal" and "perfect". A personal god is one who can be considered a person who has thoughts, feelings, intentions, and all of the normal capabilities that one would attribute to a normally-functioning human being. A perfect god is one who, for every attribute it has, it is perfect in that attribute. So if God is moral, then he is perfectly moral. If he is knowledgeable, then he is perfectly knowledgeable, and so on. (What it means to be perfect in attributes like these, however, is a subject of much debate itself.)
Theism is the standard mode of belief for the three Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). So if you are not a theist, then you definitely do not belong to any of the mainstream lines of thought in these traditions. Most theists interpret "perfect" as including the attributes of omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), and omnibenevolence (all-good). So from the theistic perspective, not only is God transcendent, but also he(/she/it) is a person who is able to do any possible thing, knows all truths, is morally perfect, and he interacts with the world and persons in it according to his(/her/its) divine will. It also standard belief that the theistic God is responsible, in one way or another, for the existence of the universe (whether it be creation ex nihilo (out of nothing) or some other process).
Now that the majority perspective is laid out fairly clearly, it is time to move on to its antithesis: atheism. Atheism is simply defined as the negation of theism. Be sure not to only interpret the "negation" as meaning a positive denial of the truth of theism, for although it can be interpreted that way, there is also another way to understand it. The negation of theism, in its most humble form, is known as weak or negative atheism. It is simply the lack of belief in theism. Anyone who does not hold theistic beliefs is technically a weak/negative atheist (I personally prefer the term "negative" as opposed to "weak"). Under this definition, babies and the severely mentally retarded are technically negative atheists. Cultures that are completely unaware of this kind of conception of God are also technically negative atheists as well. The other side of atheism is strong or positive atheism. Positive atheism is the bold claim that a theistic God absolutely does not exist. Be sure to notice the distinction here: negative atheists are simply without belief in god and do not commit themselves to deny the possibility of god's existence, while positive atheists are without belief in god and do commit themselves to the denial of the possibility of god's existence. Some very bold philosophers, such as Michael Martin and Victor J Stenger, have attempted to justify positive atheism in light of philosophical and scientific arguments. Most philosophers and scientists, however, generally believe that no kind of argument could ever absolutely prove or disprove the existence of God. As such, negative atheism is the most common form of atheism that one is likely to run into, and it is the position that I support as well.
Finally, we have agnosticism. In my experience, there is no philosophical position concerning God's existence that has been more misrepresented and misunderstood by the very people who claim to hold the position. So please allow me to clear up the inconsistencies here. Theism and atheism are ontological positions. This means that they are claims about belief in the objective existence of something. Gnosticism and agnosticism are epistemological positions (I won't be discussing gnosticism here, since it is fairly straightforward and is the standard epistemological position of most people). This means that they are claims about what we as human beings can come to know, subjectively, about something. So when someone claims to be an agnostic, this is only a claim about what knowledge he or she thinks we can possibly attain. It says nothing of whether or not they believe that a god exists. And again, there are two types of agnostics: strong and weak. Weak agnostics believe that the evidence and arguments concerning the existence of God that we currently have are not sufficient to make a decision one way or the other on God's existence. Strong agnostics, alternatively, believe that there is no possible evidence or arguments concerning the existence of God that could possibly allow us to give a definite answer to the question. So weak agnostics are basically just waiting for the right argument to come along, and strong agnostics are convinced that no argument could sway them, since it cannot be proven either way.
The major misuse of the term that I want to point out is when people are asked about their beliefs on God's existence, people often reply with "agnostic". This, however, is not answering the question. The question is: "Do you believe that God exists?" Agnostics cannot answer yes to this question, and 'agnostic' is not a possible answer. When somebody asks you about what beliefs you hold, you perform a mental check of the beliefs in your "belief inventory". If one is truly an agnostic, then there is no belief in that inventory that reads "God exists". Therefore, agnostics must answer "no" to the question "does God exist?". Using this understanding of agnosticism, all agnostics are essentially negative atheists. Agnosticism is not a halfway, fence-sitting position between theism and atheism. It is in a completely different area of inquiry. So the next time someone announces that they are agnostic, politely point out that this reply does not answer the question of what they believe about God's ontological status, and request that they clarify their position.
So, I hope that this was helpful in clearing up some confusion about these terms. If you are still confused after reading this, please leave a comment to let me know what your questions are so that I may attempt to answer them or refer you to a source that can. And, as with any survey of philosophical positions, there are many more out there that I did not cover. If you would like to know more about those, I can try to help you with that, too.
