Red-hot Cannons show Stingrays no mercy
The Calder Cannons head into this week's Development Weekend with two wins in a row after crushing the Dandenong Stingrays by 68 points in Round 13.
Calder soared to a 45-point lead at half time after booting seven of the first nine goals of the clash at Highgate Recreation Reserve, before showing the Stingrays no mercy in a seven-goal final quarter onslaught.
The Cannons were coming off a spirited 22-point win over highway rivals Western Jets last week in Futures Round and backed it up with a similar-looking youthful outfit – electing not to play Vic Metro trio Daniel Mott, Harry Jones and Brodie Newman.
The win sees the Cannons leap frog the Stingrays into 6th spot on the NAB League ladder.
Midfielder Sam Ramsay was again the most prolific player on the ground finding the ball on 32 occasions, while Jackson Cardillo (27 and a goal) and Ned Gentile (23 and two) continued their season-long form.
Running defenders Curtis Brown and Max Simpson provided plenty of drive off the half-back line and had critical synergy with teammates ahead of the ball.
Jake Sutton (17 touches, nine marks and two goals) also played his best game for the club.
Winning every critical stat on the day including disposals (+85) and marks (+34), Calder's arial prowess shone above all recording 19 for the entire contest – its most in a single game this season.
Talls Mason Fletcher (four goals and six marks) and Jeremy O'Sullivan (two and five) showed that in spades.
Sam Paea in his second game also provided a strong target up forward.
"We had a real emphasis pre-game on contested ball and our pressure around the football and it was terrific for the boys to respond to Ross and the coaches' messages around these focus areas needing to improve," Football Operations and Admin Coordinator Matthew Burton said.
"We're still having lapses at the half time break where we seem to take our foot off the gas a little bit, but the way we started the game and then how we responded after three-quarter time to run out the game really strong was some of the best team football we've played all year.
"Two wins in a row with a majority of inexperienced players having played over the past two weeks has been fantastic for the group.
"A good problem to have is when selection becomes really difficult with so many players putting their hand up for selection.
"Our midfielders set the tone on the weekend with Jackson Cardillo playing his best game for the club.
"Sam Ramsay having a change of role this year and becoming more of an inside midfielder has been fantastic.
"Nathan Stewart joining our squad late once the season had started has provided another midfield option for us and has held his own.
"Once again Ned Gentile gave us four quarters of effort.
"It's one of those weeks where we could honestly mention every player that played. Every player contributed on the weekend which was very pleasing."
The Cannons will enjoy another week off before making the trek down to Queen Elizabeth Oval to take on the Bendigo Pioneers in an attempt for three consecutive wins.

Youngsters will be "better for the run": Gourley
Calder Cannons caretaker coach Brett Gourley believes a key focus going into the side's Round 12 match against the Western Jets was to expose the club's youth to a higher level of football.
The Cannons turned to their future by blooding 13 bottom-age players along with four debutants at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Sunday.
The several young players created plenty of spark throughout the match and showed no signs of nerves playing amongst older, draft-eligible talent.
With a vastly different looking Cannons outfit to previous weeks this season, Gourley was adamant when asked about the focus going into the match against the arch rival.
"To give them an experience of playing at this level of footy," he said post game.
"So four first-gamers and three of those were 16 year olds – we were really pleased with the effort from all of them and I think they're going to be better for the run."
The Cannons broke away late in a scrappy contest where both sides seemed to have a case of the goal-kicking yips.
The scores were locked at 1.7 to 0.4 at half time before the home side experienced a drastic change of fortunes, booting five goals straight in the second half to claim bragging rights.
Gourley said he was pleased with the leadership shown by the more experienced players who led from the front foot.
"Even though our captain Brodie (Newman) wasn't here, we had a real emphasis on making sure that we had someone else step up or a lot of those 18 year olds, even Mason (Fletcher) a 19-year-old, just to make sure that they help the younger boys out in terms of how to play the game and just give them a real confidence boost," he said.
"I thought Rama (Sam Ramsay) was outstanding in the middle today – gave us a bit of pace through there.
"Ned's (Gentile) ever-reliable self and Minty (stand-in captain Harrison Minton-Connell) was really good as well.
"Mason moving forward definitely helped us, kicking a couple of goals in a low-scoring game was outstanding."
But where was the game won?
"The effort and intensity in the last quarter I thought was great," Gourley explained.
"We sort of let ourselves down a little bit in the third (quarter) but the way we responded in the last quarter was just outstanding."

Young Cannons too good for Jets
The Calder Cannons have retained the Shane Sexton McDonald's Cup after a hard-fought 22-point win over the Western Jets in Round 12 of the NAB League season.
It was a scrappy affair at Highgate Recreation Reserve as no side registered a goal until the second term, with Calder holding on for a retentive 6.7 (43) to 2.9 (21) triumph.
Despite the inaccuracy which plagued both teams, the home side booted five goals straight in the second half to run away with their sixth win of the season coming off a two-week break.
The 'futures' fixture required clubs to select at least 11 players who are currently in their 16th or 17th year, with team line-ups allowed to consist of up to 24 players.
The Cannons fielded 13 bottom-age players who all showed signs of things to come.
Sam Ramsay (31 disposals and eight tackles) was a clear standout through the middle of the ground, while fellow top-agers Curtis Brown (29 disposals) and stand-in captain Harrison Minton-Connell (27) were also prolific.
Giacomo Thomas, Ben Overman, Cody Brand and Josh Hotchkin were the others to be named in the best players.
The Cannons also fielded brothers Ned and Flynn Gentile – the latter one of four debutants to take the field in the rivalry clash.

The first quarter proved to be an eyesore with both sides registering a total of just seven behinds in gusty conditions.
It took until the 19-minute mark of the second term before a goal was registered, with debutant Sam Paea snapping truly from the boundary line to break the deadlock.
Calder's nine-point half time advantage was short-lived as the Jets found a reply through Eddie Ford early in the third term.
And as it seemed the Cannons would be counting the cost of their missed opportunities early, back-to-back majors to Nathan Stewart and Mason Fletcher meant the margin was back out to 11 points at the final break.
Saad El-Hawli's goal in just over a minute into the final stanza drew the Jets to within five points of the lead.
But the hungry Cannons – in a show of resilience – never backed down or dropped their heads.
The Cannons flexed their muscles in the final stages of the contest with both Jackson Cardillo and Fletcher again capitalising on goal-scoring opportunities.
But the final major to 16-year-old Flynn Gentile – a classy finish on his opposite side – meant it was the sweetest of endings for a young Cannons outfit.
Calder will look to carry the momentum into this Saturday's contest against the Dandenong Stingrays at Highgate Recreation Reserve.

Cannons win ugly against Knights
Calder Cannons continue rise up ladder after holding off Northern Knights
The Calder Cannons Under 18 boys improved their 2019 record to 5-4 after keeping the Northern Knights at bay on Saturday afternoon.
The Round 9 contest was originally meant for Highgate Recreation Reserve, before a late venue change saw the two sides do battle on a wet Preston City Oval.
The 10.5 (65) to 8.8 (56) result puts Calder seventh on the ladder leading into this week's match against the highly-fancied Oakleigh Chargers.
Midfielders Ned Gentile (21 disposals and five inside 50s) and Zach Molloy (20 and seven tackles) were both instrumental in a contested game, while Max Simpson and Curtis Brown created plenty of drive off the half-back flank.
Football Operations Manager Matthew Burton said many players stood up in the absence of Vic Metro trio Brodie Newman, Daniel Mott and Harrison Jones.
"With our metro and PEGS kids unavailable, it's given some others an opportunity at the level and it's a real positive when you play four first-gamers and they're all able to play their part," he said.
"At this stage of the year it gives other kids an opportunity to stand up and perform when we have some of our better players absent.
"The week also provides an opportunity not only for players but with Ross (head coach Ross Smith) with Vic Metro commitments it gives an opportunity for our aspiring assistant coaches to step up and enjoy the pressures of coaching," he added.
"It was a pretty scrappy game but you always enjoy it when your side wins ugly."
Both sides exchanged goals in the opening term and it was Cannons tall Jeremy O'Sullivan who took the game by the scruff of the neck early with three first-quarter majors.
With scores locked at 3.1 apiece and in a game where scoring was difficult, it was the Cannons who proved more efficient in the second quarter booting four goals to one to open up what proved to be a match-winning lead.
A major highlight of the quarter was debutant Josh Eyre slotting a 45-metre snap on the run to finish off a great end-to-end team effort.
With a 17-point half time lead in Calder's advantage, the Knights were able to wrestle back control in the third quarter to reduce the deficit to 10 points and ensure a nail-biting finish.
Simpson and Jackson Cardillo's final-quarter majors within a minute of each other drew the margin out to 22 points.
But two late goals to the Knights meant the final margin was pegged back to nine points at the final siren.
The Cannons finished the game with 25 less disposals and three less inside 50s than their opponents despite keeping their winning record in tact with another victory.
"Even though Northern led many of the stats – they beat us in every KPI we set – we were still able to win the game which was very pleasing," Burton said.
"We identified that Northern are a very contested side and they showcased that early on.
"After quarter time we were able to match that through our contested ball and competitiveness.
"In every game there are always areas we identify we need to work on and we look forward to another great week on the track and having our second crack at Oakleigh for the year."

Cannons fall short in big dance
Calder Cannons girls show bravery in grand final heartache
The Calder Cannons Under 18 girls lost no supporters when they fell 33 points short of the Northern Knights in the 2019 NAB League grand final.
A large crowd flocked to the Ikon Park stands to watch the first edition of NAB League grand final since the competition underwent a name change from the TAC Cup in previous years.
Calder cruised to the big dance after a massive win against the fancied Geelong Falcons in last week's preliminary final in Dandenong.
But that momentum couldn't continue.
The undefeated Knights kicked with a slight breeze advantage in the opening quarter and managed to kick three unanswered goals in what proved to be match-winning.
Despite the Cannons' brave efforts to neutralise the contest thereafter, they were unable to make the most of their forward opportunities in the 6.3 (39) to 0.6 (6) result.

"Despite not winning the premiership cup in the end, the girls' efforts over the course of this season has been worthy of much more than that," Female Talent Coordinator Russell Humphrey said.
"Just to make the grand final and being a part of the occasion was a fantastic effort, they all played to the best of their abilities and that's all we could ask of them.
"The better team won on the day."
Captain Georgia Patrikios was her usual self and worked tirelessly up and down the ground to lead the entire field for total disposals (24) and inside 50s (six).
Terira Fry (seven disposals and three rebound 50s) tried hard in defence all game, while Georgia Sampson's improvement over the course of the season continued in another impressive performance in the ruck.
Zoe Hardiman (nine touches and six tackles) and Georgie Prespakis (20 disposals) were also named in the best players.
Calder limited Northern to a solitary goal in each term after quarter time but inaccuracy again plagued the side as they sent the ball forward on countless occasions but to no avail.
"The coaching staff was proud of the way the girls managed to battle out the entire game and never give up – that's the Cannons way," Humphrey said.
"We would like to congratulate them on a great achievement this season. To all the girls graduating – you've done the whole club proud and all the best with your footballing future.
"We look forward to seeing the bottom-age players continue their improvement."

Powerful win sends Cannons to finals
Girls show poise, eminence against Gippsland
The Calder Cannons Under 18 girls jumped into third spot on the ladder at the conclusion of the 2019 NAB League season following a dominant 31-point win over the Gippsland Power on Mother's Day.
The 5.7 (37) to 1.0 (6) result at Morwell Recreation Reserve sends Calder into the finals series on a two-game winning streak, now bracing for a clash against the Geelong Falcons in one of two preliminary finals to be played in Dandenong this Saturday.
It was a must-win game for the Cannons with the Oakleigh Charges breathing down their necks heading into Round 9.
With the Northern Knights and Geelong Falcons having the top two spots sewn up, a Chargers victory against the Bendigo Pioneers means the Cannons qualified by two points and percentage, with the Eastern Ranges closing out the four finals spots.
"It's a true testament to the way these girls have handled themselves over the course of the season," girls talent coordinator Russell Humphrey said post-game.
"Their form over the course of the year really does warrant a finals spot and I know that we have what it takes to be really competitive.
"They just have to believe in themselves, stick to what they've been doing and play with the confidence that they have in the past two weeks and much of the season."
While the away side recorded just 20 more disposals, their pressure around the ball meant the Power only managed to send the ball inside 50 on 10 occasions – the fewest the Cannons have conceded this season.
Calder took 75 marks and took full control of the ball to dictate all four quarters.
Sixteen-year-old Georgia Sampson, Terira Fry, Zali Friswell, Alana Barba, Zoe Hardiman and Makeisha Muller were named as the Cannons' best players.
"I thought Sampson was terrific in the ruck and around the ground as well," Humphrey lauded the young ruck.
"Zali Friswell is another that stood out to me on the day and Terira Fry – particularly her tackling pressure – was fantastic, it was a significant aspect that helped us win the game."
Captain Georgia Patrikios led from the front foot from the opening bounce and kicked the entire first quarter score of 2.1 – the behind a poster.
Further majors to Muller and Georgie Prespakis meant the Cannons took a commanding 27-point lead into half-time.
The game took a slow turn in the second half. Zoe Hardiman booted the only goal for the Cannons, whose 10 points for the half was enough to consolidate a spot in this year's finals series.
"Our chances of making the finals seemed quashed a couple of weeks ago when we let a couple of games slip through our fingers," Humphrey said.
"While we may have been buoyed by other results going our way, all we could control were the games in front of us.
"The girls had two must-win matches and won them both. We're all very proud of where they've come but there's more work now to be done."
The preliminary final will take place from 2:15pm at Shepley Oval immediately following the clash between the Northern Knights and Eastern Ranges.
The winner of both matches will meet in this year's grand final to be played at IKON Park on May 25.

Cannons break Falcons hoodoo
Calder Cannons defeat Geelong Falcons for first time since 2014
The Calder Cannons Under 18 boys snapped a five-year losing streak on the weekend after surviving a seven-point thriller against the Geelong Falcons at Highgate Recreation Reserve.
A win was crucial for Calder in the Round 5 NAB League contest who had lost three of its first four matches of the season and was coming off a dour loss against Tasmania before the Easter bye weekend.
The last time the Cannons were victorious against the Falcons was the 36-point win in Round 7, 2014 in the then-called TAC Cup.
But the tables have now turned with Calder edging past its opponent and recording an 8.11 (59) to 8.4 (52) win on home soil.
Calder was inspirationally led by captain Brodie Newman, whose 36-possession, 17-mark and seven-rebound 50 game steered the side to its second 2019 victory.
Daniel Mott (29 touches) and Sam Ramsay (27) were the best of the midfielders and thrived on the output of ruckmen Oscar Sasalu and first-gamer Josh Hotchkin.
Cannons small Ned Gentile also wore the number 27 VCMG guernsey with pride in a 21-disposal, three-goal outing.
In a game full of momentum swings, a case of 'same old' was looming after again being slow out of the blocks and coughing up the first two goals of the match.
But Geelong's 12-point quarter-time margin was short-lived as the home side began to turn up the heat.
The Cannons' efforts to dominate the territory battle in the second quarter went off without a hitch, but errant kicking at the goal face meant the home side put through five behinds before registering a goal.
Jacob Martin broke the dam wall after converting a set shot 14 minutes into the second term, before three majors in the next five minutes of the game saw the Cannons establish a handy 17-point half-time margin.
The Cannons appeared to be well on the way to recording their second win of the season and shutting the curtains on a five-year losing streak against the Falcons, but the away team burst out of the blocks in the premiership quarter to ensure the fans a nail-biting finish.
Geelong rattled on the opening four goals of the windy third term and sent the challenge back on the home side after taking a one-goal lead.
Gentile put the home side's nose in front with a goal against the run of play and with scores locked at 40-39 at the change of ends a tug-of-war contest was awaiting.
The 17-year-old Gentile emerged as the potential match-winner when he snapped his third goal of the game to kick off proceedings 40 seconds into the final stanza, taking the game by the scruff of the neck.
From there it was goal for goal in an enthralling quarter, with Martin and Sasalu both saluting to add to the drought-breaking result.
The boys will now regroup and look to win its first back-to-back game of the season when they host the Bendigo Pioneers in another double-header this Saturday.

'Team first' mentality steering girls forward
The Calder Cannons Under 18 Girls have won three matches in as many weeks to kick-off their 2019 NAB League campaign in superb fashion.
The first-round 27-point win over the Western Jets was backed up by an eye-capturing 58-point win over the GWV Rebels at MARS Stadium in Round 2 – where rising star Georgie Prespakis booted seven goals.
But the come-from-behind win against the Sandringham Dragons on Saturday means the Cannons remain one of three undefeated teams in the early stages of the year, sitting just behind the top-of-the-table Geelong Falcons on percentage.
Girls manager Russell Humphrey puts the strong start down to an even contribution from the whole team.
"Everyone is working really well together, all of the girls are really buying in and understanding their roles and because of that the results are looking after itself," he said.
Sandringham kicked the only goal of the first half in tough conditions on the weekend, before the Cannons put through four majors – three of which coming in the final stanza.
"In the first half on the weekend we went away from that 'playing as a team' style but the second half we were sharing it better and the players were definitely doing better things," Humphrey said.
"I've just been really impressed with the whole team effort. Everyone is doing something on every game day and contributing to the results that we're seeing.
"In particular, we've seen very consistent performances over the weeks from Emelia Yassir, Krstel Petrevski, Georgie Prespakis and Laura Cocomello."
Head coach Paul Tilley said while he's impressed with the fast start in 2019, it doesn't surprise him.
Calder won just two games in 2018 in Tilley's first season at the helm.
"About three games into last season we probably weren't where we wanted to be, so we took everything back to basics," Tilley told nableague.com.au.
"We worked hard on teaching the players the basics in terms of skills and knowledge of the game, and I think that was reflected in the last few games of 2018.
"This season has just been a carry-on from that.
"We were lacklustre early (against Sandringham), but the girls realised that if they wanted to win the game, they had to start doing what they knew and sticking to the game plan – which they did.
"We had players like our captain Georgia Patrikios, Georgie Prespakis and Gloria Elarmaly who took the game into their hands and that's where it started. Krstel Petrevski was a great performer again for us and then you had girls like Laura Cocomello, Felicity Theodore and Emelia Yassir, but the game was won across the board with all of them putting in an even performance."
The girls will look to make it four wins on the trot when they host the seventh-placed Oakleigh Chargers at Highgate Recreation Reserve this Sunday.
Despite winning just one match from three attempts, the Chargers have recorded the fourth highest points as a total aggregate in the competition.
"We're really looking forward to another challenge, they're a quality side and we know we have to start a lot better than our last game against Sandringham. We can't start slowly," Humphrey said.J

Having been on a short vacation recently, I am reminded of the importance of having non-perishable food items on hand for meals I can make even if I get home late at night and there is nothing in the refrigerator. By non-perishable I don't mean potato chips and boxes of macaroni and cheese, but staples that traditionally are part of the Mediterranean diet. These are items that I make sure I never run out of and they all play an important role both for their nutritional as well as culinary aspects. We all know that if there are unhealthy items in your kitchen, in times of hunger and weakness you will eat them. So it's much easier to avoid them in the first place by maintaining a healthy mediterranean inspired pantry.
Perfect for salads and salad dressings.
Much needed for many Greek casseroles (lathera) especially in the winter when good tomatoes are not available.
What is the Greek diet without its antioxidant rich herbs? Especially my mom's favorite: oregano!
Dry beans are a staple of the Mediterranean diet, canned beans are fine especially when I have no time.
It's our sugar, we drizzle some on yogurt, eat on bread with tahini and in salad dressings.
An easy meal that you can embellish with plenty of vegetables. Kids love it.
Great plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Eat them with fruit, in yogurt in salads or plain.
My favorite! Snack on them or use them in salads. Great source of cholesterol lowering fiber.
These are very thin hard breadsticks. Great as a snack along with tomatoes and cheese. When you buy them make sure they are made with olive oil not palm oil or other oils.
What is the Cretan diet? Exploring the prototype of the Mediterranean diet.
I heartily agree. Isn't it funny how "macaroni & cheese" is used to indicate a box of low-quality macaroni and some orange chemical thing stealing the noble name of cheese? When good short-cut pasta with any of the dry Mediterranean cheeses (another pantry staple) and some olive oil (as well as a bit of the cooking water) is just as easy and probably cheaper.
Canned beans are also useful in the event of a power outage.
So true about the mac and cheese!
I like your receipes Elena, because they can be prepared with items you commonly have in your pantry, or easily purchased. Some healthy receipes have such exotic ingredients you have to search to find them in a speciality shop, or there are so many ingredients that they are too complicated for a weeknight meal.
Love your pantry tips! I agree 100%. No excuses about not cooking fast and healthy, even when you get home from vacation. Pantries should never be bare!
One question, when traveling in Crete, I loved the barley rusks used in salads or topped with tomato and cheese. I'm having a hard time finding them in Philadelphia. Any suggestions?
I mistakenly replied out of order, but shared some suggestions on where to find rusks in Philadelphia below. Good luck!
If Bromall is convenient to you, there's the Euro Market on Sproul Road, off of West Chester Pike. They have lots of imported Greek food including rusks from Crete.
Hi Judy, As some readers noted you can find them locally or you can also order them online.
Definitely going to stock up!
You may be able to find them in the Russian/international markets of Northeast Philadelphia (like NetCost or Bells Market). There's also a Greek store, N&E Agora at 917 Tyson Ave. They carry rusks.
Ever since moving to another city (a few months ago now, too long for it to still be a valid excuse) I've been living off pantry staples! What kind of tomato/pasta/bean/frozen vegetable combination will I have tonight with my sad little salad?
Yes, the pantry can really be useful even when we just don't have the time or energy.
Elena, can you post a good recipe for Cretan barley rusks? I've purchased them at a local international market, but they were terribly expensive and not very fresh tasting.
Incredible! I finally found a food website that fits my tastes and eating style. And it turns out it's the healthiest eating style on the planet. "The Mediterranean Diet." Who knew? Yeah, I'm Greek. How did you guess? LOL Thanks for this site.

Some Thoughts on Character: Miss Mary Morstan, the Doctor's Wife
"Miss Morstan entered the room with a firm step and an outward composure of manner. She was a blonde young lady, small, dainty, well gloved, and dressed in the most perfect taste. There was, however, a plainness and simplicity about her costume which bore with it a suggestion of limited means. The dress was a sombre grayish beige, untrimmed and unbraided, and she wore a small turban of the same dull hue, relieved only by a suspicion of white feather in the side. Her face had neither regularity of feature nor beauty of complexion, but her expression was sweet and amiable, and her large blue eyes were singularly spiritual and sympathetic. In an experience of women which extends over many nations and three separate continents, I have never looked upon a face which gave a clearer promise of a refined and sensitive nature." ("The Sign of Four," Chapter Two)
There is no denying it—Dr. John H. Watson was a marrying man. And in the Sherlock Holmes canon, he was married multiple times, although the exact number of times is up for debate. Two marriages are mentioned explicitly throughout the course of the stories, but some Sherlockian scholars have debated the existence of three—or even four—Mrs. Watsons. Indeed, the article "Counting Watson's Wives," by Brad Keefauver, posits the existence of six Mrs. Watsons. But of all those many wives, the first (as far as the reader is made plainly aware—Keefauver believes that she was actually Dr. Watson's fifth wife) and best known is Miss Mary Morstan, who first appears at 221B Baker Street in The Sign of Four, as a client seeking to solve the mystery of her long-absent father and the strange pearls that have been sent to her in the post.
She is undeniably striking, an extraordinary woman, and the Doctor is immediately taken with her, as the preceding passage indicates. Over the years, her character has been portrayed by such actresses as Ann Bell, in the Peter Cushing adaptation of SIGN; Jenny Seagrove, in the Granada Television version; and most recently by Kelly Reilly, in the latest Guy Ritchie picture. In addition, author Molly Carr has penned two novels featuring Mary Watson in the role of consulting detective (with a supporting cast). At first Mary's presence appears to be merely to fill the void that Dr. Watson has suddenly found in his life over the course of SIGN: "…that passing glimpse of a tranquil English home in the midst of the wild, dark business which had absorbed us" (SIGN, Chapter Seven). For many years—first in his time in Afghanistan and then in his partnership with Sherlock Holmes—Dr. Watson's life has been fraught with violence, danger, and a host of other anxieties. It is not too much of a stretch to image that he would like a chance at a peaceful life; and Miss Mary Morstan, with her simple manners and sympathetic expression, seems like the perfect avenue of achieving that goal.
But placing limits upon Mary Morstan's character would be doing her a disservice. It is certainly true, as has been discussed elsewhere, that she was more than capable of being a part of that comfortable domestic picture Dr. Watson seemed to so desire. Indeed, at the beginning of "A Scandal in Bohemia," Watson famously comments on the state of his relationship with Sherlock Holmes: "My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention…" The Watsons have clearly built a happy English household, tranquil and untroubled, but Mary was also more than capable of uprooting that domestic harmony.
Jenny Seagrove (center) played Miss Mary Morstan in Granada Television's
1987 adaptation of "The Sign of Four, with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes (left)
and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. John Watson (right). The adaptation omitted
the romantic subplot between Miss Morstan and Dr. Watson
(photo via bookishadventures.tumblr.com).
In "The Boscombe Valley Mystery," when Watson responds to Holmes's summons with hesitation, it is Mary who says: "Oh, Anstruther would do your work for you. You have been looking a little pale lately. I think that the change would do you good, and you are always so interested in Mr. Sherlock Holmes's cases." To which Watson rightly responds: "I should be ungrateful if I were not, seeing what I gained through one of them." It is possible that Mary also, never forgot how much she owed to Sherlock Holmes—not just her husband, but her peace of mind in finally knowing what became of her father. In "The Man with the Twisted Lip," another story that opens on a scene of blissful domesticity, Mary makes no protest in sending out her husband to chase after Isa Whitney, at the Bar of Gold, in Upper Swandam Lane. She could not possibly have known that he would meet Sherlock Holmes while there, but she knows her husband and the adventurous circumstances under which they first met. Perhaps when Mary Watson told her husband he looked "a little pale lately," what she really meant was that he had been looking "a little bored."
Unfortunately, Mary was not to be a permanent fixture in Dr. Watson's life. When Sherlock Holmes returns from the Great Hiatus, the reader also learns of Mary Watson's passing. As Watson says in "The Empty House", "In some manner [Sherlock Holmes] had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words. 'Work is the best antidote to sorrow, my dear Watson,' said he." The cause of Mary's death is not revealed, though some have posited that she died of tuberculosis, as the disease caused the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first wife, Louisa. Others have suggested a death in childbed, as it was not uncommon, and some authors, such as Duane Swierczynski in The Crimes of Dr. Watson, have suggested that Mary's sudden absence from Watson's life was a cover for some more sinister behavior.
Kelly Reilly (left) played Miss Mary Morstan, opposite Jude Law's Dr. John Watson
in the 2009 Guy Ritchie film "Sherlock Holmes." She will reprise her role in
2011's "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows."
Whatever the cause, it is to be quite some time before Dr. Watson would remarry. But he does take another wife and in "The Blanched Solider," Sherlock Holmes tells the reader: "The good Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife, the only selfish action which I can recall in our association. I was alone." But this new Mrs. Watson is different. The reader never learns her name, or how she and Watson met. She certainly was not a client, or if she was, her case had been of little import or interest to the record. She does not comment, in one way or another, on her husband's relationship with Sherlock Holmes and his involvement in his cases. And Sherlock Holmes does not arrive on her doorstep, seeking sanctuary. While prior to her passing, Mary Watson was mentioned in multiple stories (outside of SIGN) this new wife is barely mentioned at all, only in the briefest and snidest of remarks. This new wife is clearly no Mary Morstan. Brad Keefauver puts forth a unique and interesting theory regarding the identity of this final Mrs. Watson, which is available for perusal in his article.
Mary Morstan was unique in that she was able to successfully balance all aspects of her life with Dr. John Watson—and by extension, her life with Sherlock Holmes. The circumstances of their meeting allowed Mary to be uniquely in-tune with not only what Watson wanted out of life, but also what he needed. She never shoved her husband headlong into danger, but occasionally she was certainly the gentle nudge that sent him out the door.

It is hard indeed not to have a little twinge of jealousy when it comes to Mary Morstan. Married to the kindly compassionate and gentlemanly Dr. Watson and yet still occasionally in the orbit of Holmes and his cases. Sigh.....
I am personally partial to Jenny Seagrove. Ever since I saw her in the 1982 adaptation of A Woman in White as Laura Fairlie, I have thought she is a perfect embodiment (in her portrayals) of a style of womanhood, much admired, from an earlier era. As Mary Morstan, she brings the kind of strength she showed in another film, A Woman of Substance.
Thanks for giving Mary another well-deserved moment in the sun.
Katie Magnusson August 27, 2011 at 8:54 PM
I too am partial to Jenny Seagrove - her performance was almost exactly how I imagined Mary would be.
It's funny you chose this to write about; I just finished reading an article in the latest Baker Street Journal that put an interesting spin on the marriage of Watson to Mary Morstan. Have you read it?
goddessinsepia August 29, 2011 at 8:54 AM
@Lucy: Thank you for your kind comment! I often feel a little bit of jealousy too, although I did just read a short story called, "The Lost Boy," which offers a very bittersweet take on Mary's life. Jenny Seagrove is probably my favorite portrayal--she is lovely and elegant in a very womanly way. But Kelly Reilly's version had a little bit of spirit that was charming too.
@KateM: Looks like Jenny Seagrove is quite popular as Miss Morstan! :-) And I haven't gotten my most recent Baker Street Journal! Our mail service is really unreliable, and he tends to deliver our periodicals in one large delivery whenever he feels like it. I've complained, but to no effect. :-(

This got my by surprise – 4D is doing some marketing. Good to see. Really! I'd need to move to France to enjoy it, but, heh, it's just 2 hours from here (with a slow car and ignoring some speed limits).
Why surprised? Hmm, the impression from the last developer conference/Summit was "Why the heck they are talking about an 'ongoing support/development for 4D' – and nobody asked for this?". Some of my colleagues got the feeling of pre-triggered dementi: deny it before even the question is asked.
It's a long time since I have seen some real marketing material (no: pens, old-fashioned clocks, note pads (the paper ones), product descriptions… don't count). This reminds me when I first met the younger Brendan C. in Denver (the blizzard Summit, for the older ones who remember). He showed me a 2 pages 4-color ad in the japanese MacWorld. Wow. I was used to 1/8 pages and the stuff from above in the parenthesis. What a difference.
Today? Maybe I read the wrong magazines and visit the completely outdated web sites – there is no living sign of 4D lately. That's very sad. 4D is an acknowledged old-timer, but with a strong going heart. The engine got some beautiful face lifts, it's more powerful than ever, the backup systems knocks all off at demos – and they are very happy that they installed it before the hard drive crashed.
But it is kept as a secret. 4D talks to 4D developers about it. How exciting! My guess is, there's one needed to teach the 101 of marketing. Need a bad example? I got an invitation to a 4D webinar. The letter started with "Dear 4D Partner…" – come on – you can do better. Ever heard about "mail merge" and how to build salutations? How's about "Dear Peter…", it's called "personalized letters", not really new this concept.
OMG, ok, I turn my rant mode off. I just wanted say, it's good to see 4D France (at least one of all) is doing something.

Chapman University named as part of U.S. Army Research Office Grant for Physics
Chapman University is a recipient of an Army Research Office (ARO) grant as part of a larger award to U.C. Berkeley designed to understand the continuous measurement of superconducting quantum bits using microwave fields. The initial award of the ARO grant is more than $4 million over four years, of which $400,000 is subcontracted to Chapman University.
The principal investigator from Chapman University on the project is Justin Dressel, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics. The project is titled the Theory for Continuous Quantum State Tracking and Error Correction, or CQSTEC.
"One of the most promising technologies for quantum computation to appear in recent years uses superconducting quantum bits that are cooled near absolute zero," explained Dr. Dressel. "The most recent research focuses on how to control these quantum bits to avoid common errors -- our proposal will look at how to read and write information to the bits continuously with microwave fields, aiming to improve upon the established error correction methods that are discrete in time."
The experimental team, which includes U.C. Berkeley's Dr. Siddiqi, will fabricate and test new designs for multi-quantum-bit superconducting chips, building on cutting edge work pioneered by the team of Dr. Martinis at U.C. Santa Barbara (now affiliated with Google Inc.), among others. The theoretical machinery necessary to understand and realize continuous error correction for these quantum bits will be provided by the three subcontracting collaborators from U.C. Riverside, University of Rochester, and Chapman University.
Chapman University's role will focus on developing advanced methods for extracting information from continuous microwave signals, including methods for estimating changing evolution parameters in real time, for identifying initially unknown quantum states given constrained estimation resources, and for efficiently tracking the state evolution of correlated quantum bits in the presence of continuous microwave measurements. According to the ARO's website: "The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Office mission is to serve as the Army's premier extramural basic research agency in the engineering, information and life sciences; developing and exploiting innovative advances to insure the nation's technological superiority."

Thomas Jefferson USA President #3 12 inch 2 color 3D Printed Bust
Bust Color Bronze (Pictured) Red Orange Yellow Lime Green Green Blue Pink Purple Fleshtone White White Marble Silver Gold Black Gun Metal Grey Grey Brown Glow in the Dark
Plinth Color W Marble (Pictured) Red Orange Yellow Lime Green Green Blue Pink Purple Fleshtone White Silver Gold Black Gun Metal Gray Gray Bronze Brown Glow in the Dark
This 3D printed bust of Thomas Jefferson, the third United States President. This one is printed in a marble PLA, giving it a realistic stone look and a surprise whenever someone picks it up to discover it's actual weight. It is more durable than alabaster or plaster, and is washable with lukewarm soapy water for easy spring cleaning. It comes on a custom plinth that has his lifetime on the front, and his dates in office as president on the back.
It stands 12 inches tall, about 6.25 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. If you'd like different information on the back or front, please put it in your comment when you check out.
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, [O.S. April 2] 1743 – July 4, 1826) was an American Founding Father who was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and later served as the third President of the United States from 1801 to 1809. Previously, he had been elected the second Vice President of the United States, serving under John Adams from 1797 to 1801. He was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights motivating American colonists to break from Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national level.
Jefferson was mainly of English ancestry, born and educated in colonial Virginia. He graduated from the College of William & Mary and briefly practiced law, with the largest number of his cases concerning land ownership claims. During the American Revolution, he represented Virginia in the Continental Congress that adopted the Declaration, drafted the law for religious freedom as a Virginia legislator, and served as a wartime governor (1779–1781). He became the United States Minister to France in May 1785, and subsequently the nation's first Secretary of State in 1790–1793 under President George Washington. Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose the Federalist Party during the formation of the First Party System. With Madison, he anonymously wrote the controversial Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in 1798–1799, which sought to strengthen states' rights by nullifying the federal Alien and Sedition Acts.
As President, Jefferson pursued the nation's shipping and trade interests against Barbary pirates and aggressive British trade policies. He also organized the Louisiana Purchase, almost doubling the country's territory. As a result of peace negotiations with France, his administration reduced military forces. He was reelected in 1804. Jefferson's second term was beset with difficulties at home, including the trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr. American foreign trade was diminished when Jefferson implemented the Embargo Act of 1807, responding to British threats to U.S. shipping. In 1803, Jefferson began a controversial process of Indian tribe removal to the newly organized Louisiana Territory, and he signed the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves in 1807.

Dílo
Kirsti (sámsky Kirste) Paltto píše knihy pro děti i dospělé. Náměty dětských knih čerpá z tradičních sámských příběhů a sámské mytologie. Na nich postaví příběh z dnešní doby.

Do další umělecké tvorby patří divadelní a rozhlasové hry a finskojazyčný pamflet Saamelaiset (Sámové, 1973), kde líčí sámskou historii a dnešní život.

Autorčino hlavní dílo je románová série o sámském životním stylu, jazyku a období druhé světové války. Tématem románů je sámská příroda, význam sobů pro sámskou kulturu a lidské vztahy. Série má tři díly: Guhtoset dearvan min bohccot (1987), Guržo luottat (1991) a Násttit muohtagierragis (2007).

Guhtoset dearvan min bohccot (1987)
První kniha série. Je z období před druhou světovou válkou, ze 30. let 20. století. Devítiletý sámský chlapec Johanas sní o tom, že se jednoho dne zapojí do chovu sobů se svým otcem Antarasem. Ve světě jdou divoké zvěsti, že se blíží válka. Dospělí začínají mít strach. Když se pak obavy vyplní, Antaras tajně vezme svou rodinu do bezpečí rodné oblasti v Norsku. Ale potom tam také přijdou ozbrojení muži a nálety letadel a zdá se, že svět není už nikde bezpečný. Ale v myslích lidí stále žije moudrý Noita-Piehti, který umí věštit.

Guržo luottat (1991)
Druhá kniha série. Vypráví o skupince Sámů ve Finsku na konci druhé světové války a hned po válce. Na začátku knihy se Sámové musí evakuovat, ačkoli někteří, jako hlavní hrdina Antaras, se rozhodnou zůstat nelegálně. Antarasova žena Sofie a jejich děti utekly do bezpečí. První část knihy vypráví o Antarasovi a jeho přátelích a Aimovi, mladém Sámovi z finské armády, který se oddělil a přidal k Antarasově skupině. Skupina žila v ilegalitě, hnala soby, ukrývala majetky, zaháněla vlky a kradla dřevo z lesů, kde pobývali Němci. Když válka skončila, lidé se nemohli bezprostředně vrátit kvůli množství min v krajině. Když bylo konečně možné přijít zpět, Sofie a děti se vrátily domů, ale našly tam jen chaos, a po Antarasovi ani stopy. Nevěděly, co se s ním stalo. Začaly uklízet a dávat do pořádku věci tak, jak byly před válkou. Antarasův syn Johanas našel otcovu loď a začal rybařit. Antaras se objeví se svými soby, ale musí se postavit problémům a ostatním Sámům. Nakonec je obviněn z krádeže sobů ostatních lidí a čelí policejnímu vyšetřování.

[Album Review] Rumination (10th Mini Album) – SF9
December 27, 2021 December 24, 2021 Posted in Album Reviews, ReviewsTagged SF9
SF9 is nominated for Best Male Choreography (Group) for Tear Drop in the 2021 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. Support SF9 by clicking here to vote today!
Next up on the album review agenda is SF9's 10th mini-album since their debut, RUMINATION, which was released at the end of November. RUMINATION is headlined by the title track TRAUMA, and also wraps up their 9lory series that has spanned two years now. Alongside TRAUMA, the mini-album also consist of six other sides tracks, all of which will be reviewed in this post today. RUMINATION and TRAUMA follows the release of TURN OVER and Tear Drop earlier on in the year.
RUMINATION Album Cover
1. TRAUMA (Title Track) – Click here for TRAUMA's full review. (8/10)
2. Memory – I really enjoyed the minimalist vibes of Memory. There was a bit of a beat to the R&B track, but it does not get in the way of the piano that plays eloquently throughout the background. The rapping in Memory is superb, delivered in a manner that was quite airy, breezy and ballad-like in a way. The vocals were also really nice, with the melodies and hook being quite catchy. Dawon's 'Faded Love' was quite a showstopper from the vocal department as well. (9/10)
3. Dreams – Dreams takes it up to notch with a more upbeat and heavier dance instrumentation. While the electronic parts of Dreams are very typical, it is still quite a dynamic and robust piece, and I can imagine a very strong performance from the group if they had chosen this as a side promotion track. The vocals stand out in this song, thanks to the melodies and hooks we get from Dreams. Their technique was quite good. The rappers had a nice bite in their parts and the song satisfyingly edgy. (8.5/10)
4. Gentlemen – Gentlemen takes on that sophisticated style that I have grown to associate with SF9 following the likes of their previous title tracks such as Good Guy, Summer Breeze and Tear Drop. There is a bit more energy out of this song thanks it the instrumentation, however, which makes Gentlemen a bit punchier and livelier. I also like the violins in the song. Both the vocals and rapping were quite strong and well-executed in this track. (9/10)
5. On and On (잠시) (Youngbin, Inseong) – On and On is a track from Youngbin (one of SF9's rappers) and Inseong (SF9's main vocal), taking on R&B genre. I liked the elegance of the instrumentation of On and On, which felt sensual and felt appropriate for a classy club at the same time. I really like the pairing of the two members, with Inseong bringing the emotions in his vocals and really nice ad-libs, and Youngbin provided fitting rapping that added a nice intensity to the R&B song. (8/10)
6. Scenario – Scenario seems to follow a similar thread as Dreams. It is a very upbeat and fast-paced dance track that I think SF9 would have nailed on stage, as well. The percussion that followed the first chorus was quite playful and gave the song an interesting notion. Great and smooth vocals in this song, as well. That high note at the end was amazing, and I liked the jaggered entrance to the final chorus. Once again, the rappers of SF9 nailed their sections. The rapping in the second verse felt classy, while the sequence at the end threw in a last-minute punch. Overall, Scenario was a highly dynamic track and would be a song that I recommend you check out. (9/10)
7. For Fantasy (오늘이라서) – Based on the title alone, you can tell that this is a fan-service song. Its tone brought a smile to my face, and I am sure SF9's fans would find this song touching, wholesome and lovely. Objectively, I find For Fantasy to have nice melodies and nice pop ballad orchestral instrumentation. The members also sound really nice. Overall, a nice ender to the album and this era of SF9 releases. (8.5/10)

[Review] Good Night MY LOVE – Soyou
[Review] Poison – Pink Fantasy


Let me again explain the difference between the DRX spinal decompression and other typical spinal traction units. The DRX is three generations past the initial VAX-D table developed years ago. Actually, the former North American distributor of VAX-D is the present manufacturer of DRX who had requested upgrades to the VAX-D unit but was refused, which explains why the VAX-D hasn't changed in twenty years. So he and other decompression spinal practitioners brainstormed the problems with VAX-D, and with the help of many engineers, the DRX 9000 unit was developed just a few years ago.
· and the prone position was very uncomfortable for most patients, especially to women.
· clinical studies have shown the DRX significantly reduces back pain in many patients who complete the program.

What a rich and fascinating discussion. Thanks to all involved.
I thought I'd get the comments section rolling with a few thoughts.
I once witnessed a playwright and performer perform a one-man play. He was asked straight afterwards, what he had been trying to say with the play. He responded: if I could simply say it, I wouldn't have written the play.
Literature is supposed to convey more than just propositional content. Part of how it does this, I think, is by suggesting open-ended journeys of interpretation and association. So I really like applying that thought to the Bible.
This doesn't dim the worry that has been raised about how we know if we've somehow taken a wrong turn in our journey and stretched our interpretation further than is, somehow, reasonable. If we're not in the business of what Davidson called meaning, because we're not dealing with clearly delineated content, but with patterns of association, and trajectories of thought, then what are the rules? When have we gone too far?
I think that part of the answer, when thinking about the Bible, in a religious context, has to be the notion of an ongoing revelation. The Rabbis were eager to suggest that every question and answer given in the evolving Rabbinic tradition was actually uttered first at Sinai. I think that we're being asked to have faith in the unfolding of the tradition; a faith underwritten by the belief/hope that God is somehow involved – even if we sometimes take wrong turns that get corrected over time.
I find it very hard to make sense of any text-based religion that doesn't believe in some Divine assistance to the ongoing process of interpretation.
At times, I thought that Ken might be gesticulating in that direction. In the book he talks about how Jews have come to cherish the separation of church and state even if it wasn't in the Bible to begin with. Has that now become part of the unfolding Torah?
He also said, in his response to the comments, that certain Jewish thinkers had become, overtime, part of the body of the Torah.
This requires an axiom of faith, I think. But I also think that it's necessary to make sense of any religious tradition extended in time.
Jim's questions about what should be taken as literal and what metaphorical resonated with me. I agree with Ken that it isn't easy to formulate a systematic answer to this question. But Jim is right – I think – to worry about the examples that Ken brings of clear metaphors. I'm reminded of something I heard in the name of Franz Rosensweig (not a thinker I'm often accustomed to quote). He said, why think that God's hand is a metaphor? Perhaps he has something called a hand in real life, and the metaphor is that we call our physical hands, 'hands'.
I was satisfied with Ken's response to Jim's concern about Abraham's biography. That is to say, even if Abraham wasn't a philosopher, we do know that his religion had lots less ritual than ours, and it was good enough for him. 'Why isn't it good enough for us?,' is the question Ken was really getting at.
But I have some textual juice to throw in here. If you look closely, you'll see that Abraham builds altars and invokes God's name over them. Nowhere does it say that he actually sacrifices an animal until after the Akeida, in place of Isaac. This has lead me to wonder whether Abraham had been trying out a very austere religious ritual in order to demonstrate that God doesn't need animal flesh – he built altars, but left them conspicuously empty; he prayed, simply by calling out the name of God. But over the course of his life, he comes to realise (through the trial of the akeida), that such an austere ritual life is not the way to inculcate, preserve and transmit religious devotion and passion.
So perhaps there are some hints in the text, about the life of Abraham and evolution of Jewish ritual, that point in the direction that Ken was going.
This is all terrific–Ken's book is terrific, as are the comments and responses–these words and those are the words of the living God. Okay I say that somewhat glibly, but it is not perhaps too far from the truth, given points made by Ken and Sam. Those who endeavor to engage with, discover/extract meaning in the Torah, even when they are reaching apparently opposed conclusions in so doing, are doing the work the Torah project apparently wants us to do. (Especially we philosophical types; but of course we remember that the Torah is not all about us, is it?) This current format isn't ideal for full engagement with the symposium–will you folks be scheduling some conference in the near future perhaps for face-to-face engagement?–but I'll just toss in a few points that occurred to me while reading through Ken's book and the subsequent discussion.
Each of these needs extensive unpacking and defense that I can't offer here, so just some quick glosses.
(1) Would be very odd if God exists and gave this text and it only applied to or addresses people in ancient times, while history then marched off for subsequent millennia. If the text is to be more than just of mere historical interest, then (1) must be true.
(2) What alternative do we have, but to interpret the text through the means available to us? Those means include our basic cognitive and epistemic apparatus, as well as all the (other) knowledge generated by that apparatus — this would include what we know of history and what we know of science and what we know (or at least believe!) of philosophy and ethics etc. It would (or should) also include the history of commentary on the text and the whole oral tradition.
(3) There's lots of wiggle room here — whoever claimed that we can hope to have a full and correct account of the truth anyway? And more importantly, God (as Ken, and Descartes) point out, may well be beyond our ability to comprehend rationally, and perhaps we can only maintain the Law of Non-Contradiction with an asterisk. But even so that's an important asterisk, because the LNC determines the limits of intelligibility at least. So to the degree to which God (or His actions or goals) are intelligible, and to the degree to which the universe as a whole is intelligible, (3) must be true.
When you put all these together–esp after you unpack them more carefully and defend them more extensively than I have done!–certain things seem to follow.
No surprise that Maimonides might see Aristotelianism in the Torah; what alternative does he have? No surprise that he also seems to hitch the Torah to a now-discredited medieval cosmology; what alternative did he have? Or perhaps I should not say "hitched it," that makes the bond stronger than it is. Rather, given that the best available "science" at the time endorsed a certain cosmology, then barring distinct evidence to the contrary, he should expect the Torah to be consistent with that cosmology. When a better cosmology comes along, then the Torah better be consistent with that one. One should never absolutely "hitch" the Bible to any empirical theory–as Galileo, quoting Augustine and others warned–lest the eventual rejection of that theory lead to rejection of the Bible. Instead, contemporary science serves as one mechanism (among many) for understanding the Torah which–if God exists and revelation occurred plus some other premises–ought not contradict the truth.
One of the major themes of this symposium has been dealing with the question of when we are discovering the meaning in the Torah v. when we are projecting something into it. But the latter has been phrased as if it is (only or purely) a bad thing. My point, given (1)-(3), is that it's not such a bad thing but rather exactly what we should expect or demand from the text if we treat it as having any divine basis at all. Yes we should understand it on "its own terms" as much as possible; but the same minds that are interpreting the Torah are also exploring the world around them, and if the Torah is about that world at all, then all these resources must be brought to bear on the exegetical project.
That doesn't mean "anything goes" in interpreting the text. The normal "rules" (guidelines) of interpretation still apply, that you have to make sure the meaning you are defending reasonably fits the text, fits into the traditions, etc. If the stuff above is true (the Torah has a divine basis etc) then you cannot cherry-pick passages but must evaluate the text as a whole; and in a point Levinas makes somewhere in his Talmud readings, if we hope to avoid "merely" injecting into the text whatever is the popular belief du jour, we must also ground our interpretations in the history/tradition of interpretation (or at least take that history into account). Points like that help keep our interpretations anchored in the text. That said, there are no hard and fast exegetical "rules" (any more than there are with metaphor, as Sam pointed out I think), but again, that doesn't mean anything goes. After all, you have to convince reasonable people — including yourself — OF your interpretation.
I don't have adequate expertise here (or any at all!), but I could imagine that the evolution of halacha over the centuries might provide a useful model here. There (I surmise) the goal is always to remain anchored in the text, which includes remaining anchored in the tradition leading up to the moment of exegesis, both as times change, the world changes, and as new data and new theories and new intuitions arise.
The Orthodox Union just released a statement outlining its position on the permissible roles that women may play in the clergy, in teaching, in leadership, etc. Suffice to say that the statement appears driven by their perceived need for conservatism, to remain anchored in the text and the tradition, and not merely and instantly capitulating to the contemporary western view of full equality between the sexes. But assuming that the contemporary western view endures for another century or two–and given how rapidly our notions of gender and sexuality are evolving, who knows? Binary sexuality is SO 20th century–would it surprise any of us if the descendants of the OU in the 23rd or 24th century might conclude, halachically, that women may become rabbis (say)? Not because these interpreters simply "capitulated" to contemporary mores and twisted their interpretation to fit the new modern intuitions–but because the text and the tradition, as interpreted by them then, with all the cognitive means available to them, look reasonably to give that verdict–in the same way that the text that looked to Maimonides to express a certain cosmology might look to some other generation or mind to contain a different cosmology?
I like Sam's way of phrasing it — seeing the process of engaging with the text as part of an ongoing divine revelation. Except of course that, given our epistemic fallibility, we don't know who is getting it right, who is making it up, etc., so we can't quite know just who IS actually divinely inspired. Indeed those who might well be truly divinely inspired, for example by having a vision (or hearing) of God, we would tend to dismiss as mentally ill. So all we've got to work with is what we've got to work with: our reason, our senses, our intuitions–plus a text and a long tradition.
Put that way, it all sounds so obvious. But the devil (equally obviously) is in the details, with which others in the discussion have already begun engaging.

I love the modern UI style of your app and it works fine on my galaxy s3!
However, I use the two plugins VirtualSwitch and the VirtualContainer very often (I am the creator of these) and they are both not supported by your app. Any chance this will be implemented in the feature?
Really i dont know why. I added Your gmail to betatesters. Do You have installed Google Play on Your device? Because licensing is checking by google play app.
Yes, alwAys have. I will try uninstall then reinstall.
Just uninstalled then reinstall. It allows me to login then the app pops a box saying i do not have a license?
Thank you for lowering the price so I could purchase your app! So far, I like the professional look of the UI. It is very clean and functional. Are there any known issues with the camera features? When I click on one of the camera devices, it brings up a "Busy Circle" and nothing shows up. The app will eventually crash giving me the option to send a report. The other items seem to function fine! Overall, I love the layout that you have and I can't wait to see what else you will be offering!
I dont know why You have busy window. Is it always busa also on remote and local connection? What is Your camera configuration?
Camer for now takes info from three data: url, streaming and ip. App always trying to launch steraming if it is avilable. So if in Your lu_sdata there is "streaming" variable, then app try to reach streaming video. If "streaming" is not empty there could be second reason: app doesnt get user and password data, so if Your camera is password protected, then app cannot reach streaming.
This is temporary solution because from my information the camera streaming is not finished by MiCasa yet (i could be wrong). There are some changes. So we waiting to fix this, and make this with programming art.
At this moment U can set DynDNS and set parameters as i written above and all will be work fine. If U have problem to do this, please write me PM with Your lu_sdata file.
Thanks for the explanation of how it works! I'm not worried about it. Sometimes the video feed is there and sometimes it's not. When it's not, that is when I get the "send a report" dialog. I'm thinking it has to do with the vera unit and the IP camera and not your application! Everything else is working great and it is very dependable! Thanks for the good work!
Yes, we still working. Virtual Switch and Variable Container is now suported but at this moment we testing version 2.0. In this version the app is rebuild so we need some time to tests.
Version 2.0 has its own API, so there is possibility to write own apps, that cooperate with our. Also with it we want to release new app: electric widgets.
For virtual switch and variable container we added to Your plugin <Category_Num> variable, so if You can please add category number 38 for vswitch and 39 for vcontainer.
Oh, very excited to hear this!
So what you are saying is that I should add a variable "category_num" to the plugins and set them to 38/39? Did I get this right?
Yes. This is the files that we was remake.
Garett i understand..... really. I told You that it is NOT good solution for us. Really. And we will NOT apply this solution for our app. Please read what i said before.
I understand that U r using this solution and it is good for You, but not for us.
And we cannot take this "compromise". App must be fast as it can.
I've read through this conversation, and Garrett is correct. Everything else is a hack, and something that has a likelihood of breaking in a future release of MiOS.
Garrett's suggestion is merely to call, out of band, to get the additional supporting metadata when you first see a new device. This can then be cached to a persistent store, within in the device, so that no subsequent calls need ever be done, ever.
For example, both SQRemote and AutHomation both have similar caches. Although they're done differently, the caching/intent is the same - not forcing plugin changes, not utilizing something that'll break in future MiOS releases, and to maintain overall performance with minimal first-time-only impact to the user. I'm sure a number of the other control points are doing the same thing.
Seems like a reasonable internal architecture to have, no?
Fast and NOT functional will get your app removed from a phone.
Messing with properties that can have negative side effects to apps using the properties as intended will get folks to avoid your app like the plague for all eternity.
As a plugin writer I am unlikely to change things to support a remote app.
There are too many out there to allow this type of coupling.
Not to mention that it violates a fundamental design principal.
If you present a use case for new functionality for an end user that's a different story.
