With the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival coming up next year and the topic of Original Sin floating in conversations, Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" has come to mind. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's version might be more familiar. It has the hook "We've got to get ourselves back to the Garden." This song captures the angst felt by many of not just the generation of the '60s but of every generation. We, humanity, retain some ineffable characteristic: "We are stardust / we are golden / we are billion-year-old carbon." But there seems to be something wrong with the world, notably war, and then there is the vision of bombers turning into butterflies over our nation.
Problem is, we cannot "get ourselves" back to the Garden. In the word picture of Genesis, angels with flaming swords block any path back. What was lost in Eden is not within our grasp, and the beautiful vision of a community in peace and harmony, like what Woodstock sought to achieve, like those butterflies, has flown away. What was lost in Eden are the very things necessary to create and maintain a world at one with itself.
What was lost in Eden can be summed up in three relationships: with God, with each other, and with Creation. Are there any words sadder than those spoken by God after Eve and Adam ate of the forbidden fruit? "Where are you?" calls painful attention to the fact that humanity's relationship with the Creator is broken. The finger-pointing that follows is not surprising: the man points the finger at the woman, and the woman points the finger at the serpent. The serpent would have pointed a finger if it had someone to point at and fingers to point with.
If N.T. Wright (as spelled out in The Day the Revolution Began) is correct, it is the relationship with Creation that reveals not only an effect of our rebellion, but also a core cause. We rejected our creational vocation. We were "placed" in the garden to tend to it, to protect it, but we chose our vocation: to become like God. We are liminal creatures. We were meant to inhabit the space between God and the rest of the created order. By rejecting that placement, we not only lose the relationship with God, but we ultimately are reduced to mere creatures. We are dust and to dust we shall return.
The story of Nebuchadnezzar in the fourth chapter of Daniel has striking parallels to humanity's broader predicament. Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream portrays Nebuchadnezzar as a guardian and protector. Pictured as a great tree, he shelters and feeds birds and animals. Nebuchadnezzar wants more. He claims all sovereignty for himself, and his punishment, like that of all humanity, is to be driven out of community and to become like the animals. Only when he "comes back into his right mind" is he restored to his role as king.
In Jesus, God has done the work to restore what was lost. Our relationship with God and each other is repaired (or is being repaired). It is our relationship with Creation that is overlooked in thinking about salvation. Luther speaks of our sin as having curved us in on ourselves, and ironically that is exactly what we have done with salvation. We have made it all about us. It is clear that God has broader horizons. He is making all things new.
In the end, we do not make it back to the Garden. Rather, we come to a "garden-like city" where things that were lost are transformed into wondrous new reality. Being in Jesus, we share with him, the New Adam, the transformed vocation of ruling and caring for Creation.

Organizers of the Women's March Are Planning a 'General Strike'
Reuters/Shannon Stapleton
The organizers of the Women's March on Washington are planning another event that will highlight women's issues.
The organizers announced on Instagram that they are planning the event as a "general strike" called "the day without a woman."
The Huffington Post reported that details about the event have not yet been made public and the organizers still haven't announced a date for the event.
The Women's March on Washington took place the day after President Trump's inauguration along with "sister marches" in cities across the country and around the world.
More than 500,000 people attended the march in Washington, according to ABC News.
The Women's March gained a lot of media attention for its size and because it denied official sponsorships to pro-life feminist groups, Breitbart News reported.
People poked fun of Monday's announcement on Twitter:
When you walk off the job for a day and that male colleague gets promoted because he didn't, don't cry. Got it? https://t.co/STXEm2uDp2
— Kimberly Ross (@SouthernKeeks) February 6, 2017
Which will result in: Women Without a Job when they are (correctly) fired https://t.co/ZjoVc2gqqa

Vine debuted earlier this year and has become the most popular video-sharing mobile app today. Unfortunately, the technology has been misused to reinforce racial stereotyping, causing ethical issues that need to be considered and addressed by media practitioners.
… when Viners are forced to strip off the less necessary scenes of their video, they eliminate some important elements that are essential to telling a complete story. This becomes problematic in ethnic humor, as racist or stereotypical jokes may be perceived out of context.
In many ways, these Vine videos with racial overtones and negative stereotypes are simply technologically refined minstrels, which mock Black culture as uncivilized. The "Black vs. White" dichotomy further reinforces tension between the oppressed and its dominator.
Cultural studies scholars believe meanings are always constructed within the range made possible by institutional frameworks. They then are reconstructed as people use them in their particular social situations. "The meaning that any object has at any given time is a contingent, historical achievement" (du Gay, 1996). Hence, a critical look at any demeaning behaviors, either by the members of the marginalized culture or by others, is crucial to developing strategies for intervention.
A deontological perspective would object any act of prejudice or discrimination, including racial stereotyping. As the universal moral standard according to a Kantian maxim of "do not deceive," Viners' stereotypes would be deemed demeaning and thus shall be avoided.
A teleologist would concur that racist jokes on Vine help marginalized cultures to gain popularity and normalize themselves among White supremacy.
… an Aristotelian approach to confronting racial stereotypes on Vine may be to allow Viners to continue sharing racial sensitive content while requiring Vine to provide a warning for mature content and an option for Viners to report inappropriate content.
PS: The document will be updated as the semester goes. Check back by late December if you're interested in reading the final draft.
I am hoping to provide something baxk and aid others such as yyou aided me.

Architecture is an art form, it is a branch of science, it is a business, it is the architect's personal expression as well as that of the commissioner. So, it is not surprising that I see architectural photography as overlapping various forms, kinds, branches of photography. This post will help me crystallize my ideas of architectural photography as I get ready for another round-table discussion at the Film Photographers Association. Fair warning, combined with the second part, it is a long post! But in addition to carefully worded information, there is also an excellent collection of photographs from professional architectural photographers published with their permission. The photographers' names are in the captions of the photographs which will appear when you click to enlarge them and all of the images are clickable. If known, the architect's name is included before the photographer's name.
What exactly is architecture? Architecture is a blend of art and science that creates spaces for human experiences. It defines function, form, space, detail, material, and decoration/ornamentation that collectively help create the human experiences. Each element in the above shortlist has significance and each architect expresses them differently in line with the practice of their art.
Through the millennia, architectural styles have gone through changes leaving traces of earlier experiences on the new creations until the new ones become strong enough on their own and then shed the lineage. Many decades ago, I visited the underground cities of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli in Cappadocia, Turkey. I don't mean a small cave where a few people lived, I mean levels of living, producing, trading spaces, even underground burial grounds, and tunnels that connected the above two cities that are 4-5 miles apart. Even there, one could see the effort to contribute to the human experiences. Below left is a drawing showing 18 levels of a town that could house upwards of 20,000 people. Underground architecture?
On one floor, for instance, was a cavity on the wall, about 5′ x 5′ and about that tall with a foot high ledge in the front. The ledge had a hole at the bottom that connected it to the outside and it was directly above a hole on the floor. Whatever for? It turned out that they would put grapes on the floor of the opening in the wall, go and stomp on it to crush the grapes to squeeze the juice which would run out of the hole and drip through the hole on the floor to the level below where they had huge amphoras to catch the juice! Above right is the winery!
Well, we have come a long way from Derinkuyu, but the idea of creating space for human experience remains at the heart of architecture as I see it. When I say "space" I do not limit it to just the volume but the material, shape, form, function, detail, and ornamentation all combined.
I see a symbiotic relationship between architecture and photography. Architecture is location-bound and needs visibility. Photography provides "mobility" to architecture and also uses it as a subject for its own purposes. We mostly appreciate and enjoy architecture thanks to photography. There is a rich selection of architectural beauty that most of us will not get a chance to see if it were not for photography. That said, not every photograph that depicts a building or other kinds of architecture qualifies to be called architectural photography. This is not unique to architecture as we do not call any photograph of an individual a portrait. The intention of the photographer and her/his ability to embed that into their photography makes the difference. As photographers, they "read" their subject, the architecture, and interpret the work for us to appreciate it fully.
The architecture may be the subject of different kinds of photography like travel, documentary, art, product. or architecture photography. In this day of photographs flooding the Internet, one can imagine millions of selfies taken in front of almost that many architectural works. They essentially serve as a record and give bragging rights to the taker "I was in front of …" My main interest in this article lies in the last instance where the photograph is taken for architectural purposes. Clearly, this kind of work features a "product" and certainly qualifies as product photography but the sheer magnitude of the subject differentiates it from a bottle of soft drink or a fancy watch. There is, however, a good deal of overlap between the product photography and architectural photography aspects as they both try to convey a message to the viewer about the architecture and its architect.
The distinguishing factor between this kind and the art photography in architecture lies in what will come forward, the photograph or the architecture; the photographer or the architect. Now, I am not suggesting that a superb architectural photograph may not be a fine art photograph. But, successful architectural photography requires that the architecture be primarily admired. This may depend, to a large extent, on how the viewer approaches the photograph. Famous architectural photographer Julius Shulman cites an instance when a viewer exclaimed "what a beautiful photograph" after looking at one of his works. That, he says, made him embarrassed and aware that he and his work need to fade behind the architecture and the architect. The opening photograph that I took in Panagia Isodion church in Istanbul, for instance, will be seen as an architectural photograph as it presents the architecture, its structure, detail, materials, etc. A different view I photographed in the same place is below. It is more of an art photograph because the viewer first sees the unusual treatment of the subject. And, even the frame is not rectangular! Hard to focus on the architecture.
In part two of this two-part series, I focus specifically on photography related matters with ample examples from experts in this field.
There's more Daniel. Next week I will publish the second part with many great examples of this genre of photography.
Wait until next week, Paul! You may even consider joining us at the meeting, the information is on the sidebar.
"Fair warning: A long Post"..
..where is the long post?
Beatifully handled work leaves me itching to see the rest. Thanks for it Cemal.
Keep itching, Haluk! The second part will be worth your wait. That's the long part, I decided to split it into two. Next Wednesday at 6:30 PM Eastern Time!
A very interesting Part 1. I can not wait to read Part 2 as my primary focus is architecture related photography, some of it is straight architectural, while some goes to the art side.
Larry, good to hear from you. You are welcome to join us on Jan 23 for the round-table discussion. The meeting information is on the sidebar. I am glad to hear it piqued your interest and you will not be disappointed with part 2.

Session 1: Ogre and Hobgoblin Protection Money, and the Temple of Asmodeus
June 30, 2019 in Campaign: Heroes Rising tagged Campaign / heroes rising by gamemaster
The PCs all live in the Town of Ludval, a small town surrounded by hills, on the plains. They have all volunteered for their own reasons, once a sponsor appeared and put up a reward of 100 gold each, to rid the town of the Ogre and its Hobgoblin allies that have been demanding protection money from their town.
"Rasper" the minotaur, "Ovf" the Elven Cleric, "Trellis" the Elven Ranger and "Grace" the Half-Elven Witch (and her cat, Mister), had volunteered to rid the town of Ludval of the Ogre/Hobgoblin threat, and look for signs of the men who deserted from the Morsang Garrison Army and fled to these same hills. At the end of the first day, they found a splash of blood on the trail, leading to a tortured and dying human, surrounded by three hobgoblins, who referred to someone as "the Master".
At the opening of the battle, Trellis fired a powerful shot and put one of the hobgoblins out of the fight, while Rasper charged into the fray, even while the young minotaur shouted for backup. Though Ovf moved up to lend aid, a hobgoblin spellcaster cast a spell that ruined her nerve, and she fled the battle, though was able to regain her senses and rejoin the fray, but not in time to save the dying guardsman, who had been tortured to near death by the hobgoblins.
Meanwhile, Trellis proved that her first shot had been a fluke, and wasted many arrows into bushes, rocks, and into the sky. Grace gave the hobgoblin caster the Evil Eye, confounding his ability to hit anyone with weaponry, but the hobgoblin commanded him to Vomit… which Grace understood, but swallowed hard and refused to spend her turn clearing her belly. In turn, Grace attempted to Charm the hobgoblin spellcaster, but he also refused to be her friend, and the two stalemated.
Finally, Rasper ignored his own opponent and charged the caster, inflicting nasty wounds on the caster with his horns. The caster, nearly dead, fled the scene, and his companion attempted to do so as well, only to find his leg missing after Rasper's axe found the hobgoblin as it attempted to rush past him. A third hobgoblin was spotted coming up behind the group, but after seeing the battle scene, he too turned and fled.
The now-dead human was inspected and found to bear the insignia of one of the guardsmen who deserted. He also bore a tattoo on the bottom of his foot, indicating that he was a secret worshiper of the evil god Asmodeus. When he passed on, Ovf witnessed a black mist leaving his body, even as the man's eyes burned in his sockets. She surmised that he soul was claimed, and that he was going to a very bad place, or possibly his soul had been captured to fuel the power of a demon or other evil being.
The newly-minted adventurers then decided to pursue the hobgoblin spellcaster who fled. His trail led to a stony entry and an engraved stone slab that blocked it. After listening at the slab to determine what lay beyond, Trellis heard a faint sound of scraping coming from one side of the hill, and as she inspected a scraped section of ground, she fell into a shallow crawlspace. The others followed her through, and while Trellis nearly got bitten by a rat, they all crawled through the short passage until they reached a room of the ruins that the hobgoblins had claimed as their living quarters. They could hear and see the wounded caster arguing with another hobgoblin about reporting to the master, and as they did so, the adventurers snuck into the room, and Trellis fired an arrow into the spellcaster's back, finishing him.
Before the rest of the party could react, the last hobgoblin fled, most likely to alert its master to the threat. The adventurers gave chase, which led down a short corridor to a burial chamber, where an Ogre was arguing with a human. Grace poked her head in, but the hobgoblin who'd fled knifed her, leaving a nasty scratch. Grace ducked back in, and Rasper tried to throw the door open, even as the hobgoblin tried to close it. This resulted in a brief stalemate, until Ovf darted around the door and poked the hobgoblin with her sword. The hobgoblin retreated and brandished his own longsword. The door no longer blocked, Rasper shoved it open and joined the melee.
Meanwhile, the argument between the Ogre and human ended in the Ogre charging the human and stepping on a pile of twigs, which exploded, scattering the remains of the human across the wall and blasting the singed Ogre towards the adventurers. On reflex, Trellis shot the Ogre with an arrow, but then attempted to reason with it, claiming she wasn't an enemy, even as it charged her and very nearly bashed her head in with a mighty swing of its huge club.
Rasper, flanking the remaining hobgoblin with Ovf, quickly cleaved it in three, and then both of them joined the fight against the Ogre, even as Grace gave it the Evil Eye, and then retreated to a safer position.
In the final round, Grace cast a spell that doubled Rasper's size, but it was the badly wounded Trellis who finished off the Ogre with her elven curveblade, with some help from Ovf, who nicked the Ogre, distracting him, as Trellis plunged her blade into its gut. The Ogre fell to the floor, its life blood gushing from its body. However, their interaction with the Ogre was not yet over. The party decided they wanted to talk to it, and Ovf used her blessed magics to stop the Ogre's bleeding and it regained consciousness.
They threatened, argued, and attempted to extract information from the Ogre, and determined that it thought that it was not, in fact, an Ogre. Eventually it allowed them to tie it up, and they discovered after a thorough but disgusting search of its body, that the loincloth it was wearing was in fact a scrap of guardsman vestments, which they removed as proof that they had found yet another deserter. The clothing of the last deserter was found among the messy remains of the human that had been blasted apart, and the party began to search through the ruined crates, sacks and debris that had surrounded the last human just prior to his death. They discovered some silver and copper coins among the mess, stopping only to behead the Ogre, who had begun to strain his bonds, snapping much of the rope that the adventurers had bound him with.
Upon his death, the Ogre reverted to a human, proving that he was, in fact, polymorphed by some means. The adventurers searched the rest of the burial room, locating hatches at the bases of the three statues in the room, and also located some unlabeled potions in a side chamber, which seemed to be some sort of prayer room. Some of the other potions had been smashed and despite their alchemical skills, Ovf and Grace could only identify two of the remaining potions and none of the smashed ones, of which only residue remained. While two of the hatches contained offering bowls of stone, clay and tin, the third hatchrevealed a ladder downward to a refuse-filled passage leading into the darkness.
Grace decided to descend down the filthy ladder to scout the corridor. As it led deeper and deeper into the darkness, the other adventurers followed, eager to explore the creepy place. The dark corridor led to an enormous gathering chamber, one that was probably used for religious ceremonies. While there was little in the chamber itself aside from pillars of stone, at the other end of the downward-sloping room was a door, which glowed with blue runes. The party declined to approach the door, and instead located two side passages leading beyond it. The side passage led them to a narrow passage 20 feet above the next wide corridor, which was guarded by undead guards.
After an abortive attempt at destroying the armored skeletal guardians, the party snuck past them using another, similar passage, and move down the wide corridor, moving quickly past a long array of stone statues wearing metal armor, which they declined to inspect, as they were more interested in yet another blue-runed door at the end of the wide corridor. Grace, calling upon arcane knowledge she reluctantly gained from her mother, the Witch of Ludval, deciphered the runes and opened the great doors, which unfortunately opened with a massive grating sound.
The party waited in the shadows hoping that the loud noise did not bring the undead guardians they previously skirted by, but alas, their hopes were dashed, and they were spotted in the shadows. As the undead shuffled closer, Rasper seized his great axe once more, then dropped his horns and piled into the closest skeleton, shattering its ribs but not quite destroying the fell magics that held the undead thing together.
The combat continues…

There are many ways that a teen can get around an internet filter and sometimes it is just the mere concept of "trying" that motivates them. Some kids will break the rules simply because the rules are there; testing the limits is not only fun for them, but it's a part of learning boundaries. Net Nanny makes it almost impossible to get around them, but there are still some circumvention techniques. This blog will make you aware of some of them.
Many internet filters don't even bother blocking certain types of websites because there is no way that the filter can know if the content is truly inappropriate or not. This could make circumvention very easy by simply finding new sites or sites that are well known enough to be indexed in a list. Don't worry though, if you are using Net Nanny we already have this covered.
One type of site that most internet filters don't block are those with user-generated content, like blogs and wiki pages. The most famous wiki is Wikipedia, which gives anyone with an account the ability to edit any subject. Most filters allow these types of websites, which can have objectionable material because they do not have the ability to search and examine web pages in real-time. But the truth is, there is a lot of objectional and inappropriate content on Wikipedia – especially since they cover any topic you can imagine. The benefit of Net Nanny is the ability to check pages in real-time, so it can filter out any objectionable material, while still allowing access to individual pages that are appropriate even within the same website.
Now, you don't have to worry about blocking your kids from potentially educational wikis, which could be helpful for book reports and school projects, but you can still ensure that any stumbles into less-than-acceptable pages on the same site are minimized.
Besides exploiting holes in an internet filter, teens can also find out a website's IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is a string of numbers that identify the site to other computers. They can use that instead of the website's name to gain access. Alternatively, kids can go to a proxy website, which is a web page within a web page that can hide the IP address, in order to surf the web anonymously. Teens are increasingly tech-literate, and many can perform a subversive operation like this with ease. Luckily for the parents, Net Nanny is capable of checking a web page's content in real-time, regardless of how the user arrived at the website, so it can still block inappropriate websites and can block all proxy websites. This way, proxies and IP addresses won't work for kids protected by Net Nanny.
There are a number of ways to outflank an internet filter, and with the excess of inappropriate and explicit material littered across the internet, what your kids see can be dangerous. To find an effective real-time filter like Net Nanny is increasingly important to protect your kids from content to which they should not be exposed to.
ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" (GMA) recently conducted an experiment to find out whether children could get around two different parental controls software, Net Nanny and Qustodio. The results were clear – Net Nanny was the only service that the kids could not get around: Net Nanny stumped the children. This experiment clearly demonstrates that Net Nanny gives kids better protection than its competition. In addition, Net Nanny gives parents more control (based on settings) by allowing them to embrace technology in healthy ways, yet also making sure that their family's values transcend device, app or platform.

HARRIS: D.C. not yet spellbound by Wizards, but they're no illusion
Kevin Grevey
By Mike Harris - The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 23, 2014
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Wizards Fever. Catch it?
Naw. Played out.
SEE ALSO: Wizards mount comeback, take two-game lead in playoff series
Wiz-a-tude or even Nothing But Wiz-a-tude?
No thanks. The whole 'tude' thing hasn't exactly done wonders for the baseball team.
Rock the Red, White, Blue and Silver?
Too many colors and the hockey team has actually made Rock the Red work, even though there's nothing but silence to rock now as the Stanley Cup Playoffs carry on with the Capitals not included.
Or, how about nothing? Maybe just plain going out and winning will be enough to generate a surge in interest in the area's only current playoff-participating professional team.
The Wizards went to Chicago for their first playoff series in six years and came home with a 2-0 lead over the Bulls. Game 3 is Friday night at Verizon Center and it will be curious to see how the area reacts to a team that is starting to garner some attention in a lot of places around the NBA. No less of an expert than former player and current television analyst Charles Barkley said the Wizards were the third-best team in the East right now.
In a conversation earlier this week, Kevin Grevey expressed some frustration that the Wizards were operating in a bit of a vacuum. A local restauranteur and raconteur, Grevey was a shooting guard on the Bullets team that won the 1978 NBA title. He's been a fixture in town since and knows basketball. He also knows D.C. and what the Wizards are up against as they try to capture the area's fancy.
"Right after the Final Four, that Tuesday, the Wizards had just clinched a spot in the playoffs," Grevey said. "There was a lot to talk about here in Washington, with the Wizards and the great NCAA tournament. And all anybody wanted to talk about was DeSean Jackson coming to town. That confirmed to me — this is a football town.
"The only way the Wizards are going to make a dent is by doing what we had to do. By winning. You just have to prove it."
If the Wizards haven't proven it by now, they're dealing with a very tough jury.
They may not win another game in these playoffs. Who knows? But what they've done so far has been more impressive than anything the other 15 teams still alive have done. Sure, they're a five-seed and the Bulls are a four, so a Wizards victory in the series wouldn't qualify as a massive upset. But it goes beyond that.
After Jan. 1, the Bulls posted the best record in the East at 36-16. That's more than half the season. That's better than Indiana, better than Miami. The Bulls are a rugged, physical team that plays some of the league's best defense (second in the NBA in points allowed per game). All the Wizards have done these first two games is stare right back at them, push back, claw back from deficits and win two games away from home.
Sam Smith of Bulls.com notes the Bulls have never won a series when they've lost the first two at home. It's only been done three times in NBA history. So, yes, the Wizards have taken firm control.
"It's going to be tough for us to come back," said the Bulls' D.J. Augustin, as quoted by Smith. "But we've been dealing with that kind of adversity all season, fighting through things, coming back from situations and doing well. So I think we're still in it."
There's no question the Wizards still have some work to do to close this one out. But they've been awfully impressive through two games and have been getting contributions across the board. It's not like they're riding a hot hand. As the Bulls are seeing, this is a well-rounded team with plenty of weapons.
Trevor Ariza has become a big weapon for the Wizards this season, a reliable scorer and accurate 3-point shooter. But what Augustin was lauding after Game 2 was Ariza's work on the defensive end. Augustin came off the bench to score 25 points, his best showing in a playoff game. But he was 2-8 and only had five points in the last 17 minutes when the Wizards put Ariza on him.
"Ariza, it's tough, he's 6-8, 6-7," the 6-foot Augustin said, as quoted by Smith. "It's tough for me to get open and get shots off. It's a good strategy for them. We went to some counters to get someone else open. They were smart and played good tonight."
Yep. In the first game, too. And likely Friday in the third game.
Redskins season starts soon enough. The Caps will figure out what they want to do with their coach and general manager and be back in a few months. The Nationals season is just starting so there's plenty of time to see baseball.
The Wizards? All they are right now is the area's best representative in the Big Four of professional sports. They're starting to gain some attention nationally. Maybe it is time for D.C. to notice, too?

Q: Eclipse code formatter missing rules I am unable to find these line wrapping rules for the Eclipse code formatter:

*

*Not starting new lines with "throws" (since easily mistaken for "throw")

*Not starting new lines with dots (e.g. when method chaining)

Have I missed those or don't they exist? Here are a few examples what the standard formatter produces and what i would like to have as a result:
Method definition: Line wrapping for closing parentheses in front of throws
Standard:
String someMethodWithARatherLongName(String someParameter)
    throws Exception;

Desired:
String someMethodWithARatherLongName(String someParameter
    ) throws Exception;

Method chaining: Line wrapping
Standard:
return new StringBuilder("Hello ").append(name)
    .append(", how are you today?").toString();

Desired:
return new StringBuilder("Hello ").append(name).append(
    ", how are you today?").toString();

or:
return new StringBuilder("Hello ").append(name
    ).append(", how are you today?").toString();

Any specific help regarding these settings would be much appreciated!

A:
Not starting new lines with "throws" (since easily mistaken for "throw")

You can achieve this with Line Wrapping -> Method Declaration -> 'throws' clause. Change Line Wrapping Policy to Do not wrap and the throws clause will be on the same line as the Method Declaration. You can do this for the Constructor Declaration too.

Not starting new lines with dots (e.g. when method chaining)

It seems like this isn't possible in Eclipse, but I'd appreciate such a setting too.

A: I think above question was to insert new line after method declaration where we throw exceptions. I'm giving you example below.
public String methodWithLongName()
throws Technical Exception,Business Exception
{
    ...
}

I didn't find any solution so far in eclipse what you suggested was something else.

It's one of my favorite ornaments on our Christmas tree–a small glass horse. I love how the tail and mane are frosted, and how it sparkles and glows when the lights on the tree shine through it. Anyway, that's what it was. I like it when I can stump you guys every so often!
And now, to the ice. I've been sharing poetryactions all week, and I'm wrapping up with seasonal one. Well, the book Blizzard is seasonal, even though my poetryaction to it isn't really tied to snow!
I love blizzards! Yes, they are a pain. Yes, they disrupt our schedule. And I don't want anyone hurt in them. But they are such a reminder of how little control we have over things like weather, and they're so beautiful…We have just brown earth and trees right now with no snow on the ground. It poured yesterday. In December. In Minnesota! That's just not right.
Back to the book. My brain went to a metaphoric blizzard. This book made me think about how sometimes when I'm stressed out and under a lot of deadlines, or when things are just crazy busy at home, I'll lie down to go to sleep, but I can't. Instead, things on my to-do lists, or worries about what might happen if I can't get everything done, start to fly through my brain! So that's what I wrote about–the millions of thoughts flying around my head when I try to sleep.
The thoughtful Tara Smith, over at A Teaching Life, has the Poetry Friday Roundup today. It's bound to be a blizzard of wonderful poetry!
Mind blizzards should be in the dictionary. Good one.
December is the month of mind blizzards. Making a list. Checking it twice. And so on. I hope I can trudge my way through and still have a smile on.
Blizzard is a terrific mentor text, and I love your leap to "a mind blizzard"! They're all too common at this time of year, aren't they?
I do love that book, & to connect to the mind at this time of year is perfect, Laura. It's been a while since we've had a blizzard, but what I remember was such fun. I made all kinds of things in our yard, was off work for a week! I do think of those who have to be out in it, not fun for them. But for the rest of us, okay! Thanks for sharing that picture of the lovely ornament. I never would have guessed it.
Wow–a week! That is a real blizzard!
We had lots of blizzards where I grew up in Saskatchewan. I loved them if everyone was home. Not so much if anyone was away. As a metaphor, a mind blizzard makes me think of driving through a snow one… disorienting.
Blurred and blinded… by a mind blizzard. Yes, Laura, you have captured the weather inside the busyanxious ones among us. Nice poetreaction!
A "mind blizzard." Forecast says 100% chance for me to experience this in the next week! Maybe multiple times!
Your title is very fitting!
Do you suppose we could pile up mind blizzard thoughts to make snowmen or lie in them to make snow angels?
Tabatha, I love the idea of doing something beautiful with all these mind blizzards!


"There are no words to express the heartfelt appreciation of someone who holds you accountable without judgment, guides one through emotional mazes and helps you understand what is going on energetically. You cannot lead where you haven't walked before and there is an enormous difference between well-intentioned hands and competent hands. Something like Bon Voyage and lots of luck versus a GPS route…a route with tools for future adventure.
Three phone sessions with Kimberly–better than six years of therapy!
(you might want to sit down for this).
Individualized training in communication (professional presentations, media appearances), mindfulness practices, intuition and meditation.
…Then I would love to speak with you about how I can help.
The precision our discussions take, are so overwhelmingly touching, they go straight to my soul! It is as though the inner most thoughts that are swirling in my own mind are drawn out and you put them into words that we then can talk about….bringing clarity to everything. I know I was led to you at the exact time I was beginning my awakening experience because of the special place you were to hold in my life. Since then, you have been a constant support and source of the most inspiring guidance! You bless my life and make sense of so much I can have difficulty sorting out on my own.
How does transformational change happen?
Reframing—the ongoing practice of new skills and habits within the context of a supportive relationship gives rise to insights that allow you to think in a new way.
You will experience all three of these key elements when we work together, along with magic, humor, compassion, and the support of someone who has decades of experience and a real-life understanding of what it takes to navigate through precarious personal and business situations with grace and ease.
Sometimes we all need to reconnect with who we really are. If you feel a need to reclaim the missing parts of your soul that have gotten lost along the way, a Soul Retrieval Day may be for you.
Fly or drive to St. Louis and spend a day (or more) with me. Dive into creative brainstorming, as we hike together while you process a choice point, map out new income streams for your business or work on a creative project. Whether you want to focus on personal or business aspects of your life (or any combination), you'll emerge from the day(s) refreshed, excited and restored.
Soul Retrieval Days include a bonus 1 hour phone session to set some intentions and get some clarity around your Soul Retrieval Day, along with a follow-up phone session to support you in integrating the work into your life. I offer a limited number of Soul Retrieval Days each year. To request an application, Contact Kimberly.
I had been following Kimberly's website and emails for over a year before I booked a two day retreat with her. I had resigned from my full time position to focus on creating my business. I needed support on two levels; first, in walking through my personal shadows and second, creating a vision for my business that I could pour my soul through, one that reflected my Purpose. Kimberly's insights were invaluable. It is a challenge to let my guard down and allow myself to be vulnerable but Kimberly reflects such warmth and caring; I felt safe during our sessions. Kimberly has a unique combination of both practical and mystical approaches and tools. She also has an infectious enthusiasm and saw possibilities where I saw roadblocks. What was the most helpful was that Kimberly truly saw ME both my gifts and vulnerabilities. To be truly seen and witnessed is a powerful experience. It is a gift that lasts a lifetime.
Kimberly offers individual manifestation coaching and counseling via phone or Skype video. Perhaps you'd like to break through some limiting beliefs and manifest a life that aligns with your authentic desires. Or, you need spiritually focused, conscious support during a time of transition/loss. Manifestation Coaching and Counseling with Kimberly may be just the intervention you need to realize the transformation you seek.
And if you're looking for a one-time session to get some visibility on where you are stuck in your Conscious Manifestation process, a Manifestation Matrix Reading may be exactly what you need. (The price for personal coaching and readings is $150/50 minutes) Contact Kimberly to request an appointment.
I came to Kim because I was afraid. I had some trauma that made me feel ashamed and scared. Even though I already had a following as an artist, inside I was hiding and not able to share the deepest part of me. Now I am able to say I feel loveable and I am happy to be married for the first time in my life at the age of 54. I feel present in my body and alive inside.
I might have been lost within the dry desert of convention if I had not heard Kim's call to come to the wild, moist edges of my soul.
How would you like a business coach that is just as comfortable talking about mystical poets and quantum physics as she is giving you suggestions on how to market yourself or your business? What if, in just a few minutes, your business coach could see through your enormous to do lists and perceived problems to identify the ONE thing you need to do, right now, to bring your career into alignment with your soul's desires?
It's all possible…and it happens all the time for Kimberly's business alchemy clients. Contact Kimberly to discuss creating a custom coaching package that will best fit your needs.
Working with Kimberly Schneider in her Alchemy of Business program has made tremendous changes in my life and business. It is the best thing I have ever done. I've grown tremendously as a person because Kim not only has a brilliant business mind but she is highly intuitive and can help you uncover the personal issues that are getting in the way in your life and business. I would not have considered doing a program like this with anyone but Kim.
When I first met Kim at her weekend workshop on Intuition I was initially struck by her incredible knowledge and verbal eloquence packaged in a very down to earth approachable person. Kim seems like she could be your best friend. She has the amazing ability of being able to put into words exactly what you want to know and have been thinking about asking before you were even aware that you wanted to ask. She is also able to zero in and re-language a question or statement to get to the real issues underlying the words. While at Kim's live event I had the opportunity to speak to several people that were participating in her Alchemy of Business program. To a person, they all raved about working with her. I was so impressed I decided to invest in a VIP day of intensive coaching with Kim.
Even before my formal coaching began, the things she asked me to think about started a transformational process for me and my business. Her approach was multifaceted and encompassed practical day to day reality as well as working on a spiritual and soul level. Kim is incredibly kind and warm, so I felt safe with her. At the same time, she didn't miss a thing and consistently challenged me on underlying beliefs and perceptions that could get in the way of my success. I cannot imagine getting so far personally or business wise with anyone else. I looked forward to my sessions with Kim and always felt I came away much richer in terms of my growth and progress than when I started.
Kimberly has been creating retreats, workshops and training programs for small and large groups for decades, incorporating teaching, experiential exercises, poetry and on the spot coaching. Contact her to discuss possibilities for your group.
Kimberly Schneider is a compelling speaker who holds our students' interest, but she also has a very pragmatic approach in the personal narrative workshop we invited her to create. Students generate concrete, specific materials during the workshop from the powerful combination of their own experiences and Kimberly's coaching.
To make an appointment, or to talk about creating a customized program for you or your group, Contact Kimberly.
"[Kimberly has] a keen sense of business acumen along with processes and practical suggestions that were very helpful. However, what really helped me was her ability to listen deeply and respond with just the right questions that guided me to finding my own answers."
"Working with Kimberly was the turning point that finally moved me forward..."


She is right that claims of ensoulment or actual "fireworks" in the mother are wrong and inaccurate.
But while I understand Ms. Trasancos' point about the over excitement by some writers, the phenomenon itself actually is a pretty big deal.
I am a nurse, not a scientist, but I read the scientific article myself before I wrote a recent blog on the research.
The truly relevant point is that there IS a moment of "human egg activation". Using fluorescence to show a chemical reaction accompanying that moment of activation enhances the reality of when life begins-a fact that Justice Blackmun in the Roe v. Wade abortion decision said was unresolvable because so many people disagreed.
As I wrote about years ago, the photos of the "sperm injection" mode of IVF (in vitro fertilization) developed over 20 years ago and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) before implantation of the new life back into the mother should have been proof enough of when life begins, even for a Supreme Court justice.
No fluorescence or sparks necessary.


Of course, there are degrees of evil among governments; some are worse than others. One that steals and spends half of all we earn (as today, here) is clearly worse than one that fritters away only a fifth, as did US governments (at all levels) one century ago. One with some semblance of judicial accountability (open trials, jury verdicts) is better than one run by police behind closed doors. That doesn't say that merely reducing government scope and power is worth the huge effort needed to achieve any noticeable change is worth it; it merely notes that less evil is preferable to more evil.
Quite probably, what eventually emerges in Egypt will be preferable to what life has been like for three decades, and right now everyone there seems very happy at that prospect. Good luck to them all! It was a huge effort, with remarkably little bloodshed, and they deserve all the improvement that they get.
As noted at the end of Mubaraktomy, though, it cannot be much; it exchanges one government for another, in some form or degree, nothing more. Egyptians will no more get their lives back than we will. Each will still be ruled by someone else. Real freedom comes not from changing the political players, but from removing their stage.
In Mubarak's dramatic final few hours, on Thursday night he said Hell no, I won't go; but next morning, he was gone. So somebody had told him to go, and it could only have been the military commanders. A very angry crowd was heading for the palace, and I speculate that he was told that should they storm it, the army would not fire upon the protesters. Therefore, he had to go. Why would the army not shoot? - because among the lower ranks, the grunts who would do the shooting, they were taking off their uniforms and joining the rebels. I heard that broadcast only once, so it could be wrong, but I think that's the factor that tipped the balance. Government employees, at a critical moment, were declining to follow orders; and so the commanders had to tell the boss they could no longer defend him. Support was withdrawn.
Such withdrawal of labor, but on a vastly greater scale, is what will bring about the end of the government era here. Removing its revenue (tax strikes) won't suffice, because it can merely print money. Disobeying its laws will help - but later on, for now it can build more prisons, hire more thugs, lock the dissidents away or, for that matter, shoot them. What government can not withstand is the resignation of its staff. When nobody is willing to work for it, it will cease to exist.
Understanding what you do about government, human nature, work and reward, freedom, would you work for it, in any job at all? - of course not. Nor would anyone else, who understands those things. Therefore, the whole task comes down to educating everyone about them. Sounds formidable - but it's not! With some help from a good interactive school, you could educate one of your friends a year, right? Then he could do the same. And that's how it's being done, each one bringing one and showing how to bring another. It's called exponential growth. By my count, the job will be done by 2027.
In one piece about Tahrir Square, the CS Monitor wrote "The unprecedented popular uprising... succeeded in large part because it became a grass-roots movement that could not be contained, negotiated with, or controlled through a few leaders." Exactly. So will ours.
