Captain's blog #2
By Assistant manager/skipper Adam Murray
Firstly on behalf of us, I want to apologise to the guys who travelled to the game on Saturday. I understand it's not cheap to follow us around the country and the least you expect is pride and desire on show. I think everyone of us accepts that we have to take responsibility as players for our performance and Saturday was not good enough.
I believe we have an honest bunch and it's time for each and everyone of us to stand up to the plate and I for one am glad the Lincoln game is so soon.
It hasn't been the start to the season we all wanted and probably expected but we should all know not to expect anything in this game. The game owes no one a thing.
So what do we do now? In any walk of life, when humans hit a 'not so good patch', we react. For example, in the first part of my career I went from club to club. The manager didn't pick me for whatever reason and I'd kick down his door (literally), abuse him and I would be off. I probably did this 5/6 times and eventually I ended up playing my football way down the pyramid from where I started. Looking back now if I would have stuck where I was, believed in what I was doing and worked hard to get out of the rough patch I think I probably would have played at a higher level for a lot longer; instead of reacting, wanting to change things and ending up spiting myself.
It took me a while to realise that the grass is not always greener and to be successful some times you have to ride the waves instead of stepping out of the water. It may not seem like it to some of you, but at the minute, as a football club, we are building something. Yes we have made a couple of mistakes, I'm not going to hide from that - but the football club can and will go places on and off the field. I'm sure of it and am more determined than anyone to make it happen.
I have big ears and hear a lot of what is going about, 'this is wrong', 'change this, change that', 'we should do this, we should do that'.
Over the last 5 years, how many times has the club been in a situation where these questions have come up? More often than not, the place opted for a change here and a change there, yes? As a football club where has that got us? Absolutely nowhere. Chairman after chairman, manager after manager, and guess what, we are still in the same place. I've been in this game a long time. In fact it's my 400th career league game against Lincoln (wow, that makes me feel old ). I've had four promotions, 40000 clubs and 60000 managers, so I have a little idea what I'm on about. In the chairman, manager and players which the club have now I am confident we will succeed. The chairman is loyal and wants the best for Mansfield Town and without him we could possibly be playing eight leagues lower. The manager knows how to win! He has proven this since he started in management. The players are a very talented bunch of lads with all kinds of ingredients. In fact, a friend of mine who has played at the top level all his life came to watch training and commented on the standard of what he had seen.
Now my point is for once we have PEOPLE who want what is best for the club and that in their own area are giving everything to try and make this a success, not for themselves but for the club. You're right, at the minute it's not quite clicking but for the reasons above I'm confident it will. The club can go 'all change' again and be back at square one or we can pull together, stay in the boat, ride the wave and come out of the other side even stronger.
In my first blog last year I stated that the place needed stability, loyalty and belief. You all agreed. So at the first hurdle why do people want to get out of the ship? Get ya' seat belts on and let's do this as a team.
I'm telling you now, every team out there will be looking at us wanting us to implode - that is a fact. I can hear it now 'watch Mansfield they're turning on each other'. We can't allow that to happen.
There's enough people around waiting for us to fall, let's not let them get their way. Things will turn our way and Tuesday night we will be doing everything to make that happen. It's a big game for us and you will have a huge part to play. I can't personally wait!
I'm writing this on Sunday afternoon and to my wife's anger I've sat and watched games all day. I watched the game from yesterday in which we killed ourself. We made errors that you can't get away with and we got punished. I also watched three games from last year. The atmosphere was unreal. Versus Newport at home, all we did was put it in the channels and play off the knock downs as well as winning second balls and battles all over the place. Football-wise we were horrible but boy were we effective.
When Barrow came here I spoke to their skipper and the first thing he said was, 'We were scared of your directness before the game even kicked off'. All that has changed this season is that we are not being effective with the style, coupled with a lack of form; for different reasons: new players getting used to the style, injuries, confidence, expectations. I personally believe this is why people have suddenly changed their views. What has been proven is that it works and once the side settles and becomes consistent we will be ok.
Like every blog which I write, you guys will differ in opinion to both myself and each other, but one thing you can't lose sight of is that we all want the same thing and we will only get that by working in the same direction ."COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING, KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS, WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS!!!!!!
See you all soon, ready for action!


The date of the portrait (13 April 1674) was three days before van Mieris's 39th birthday. The identity of the sitter is confirmed by a drawing which is signed and dated 1667 (London, British Museum). The artist wears an archaic type of dress based on theatrical costumes of the Commedia dell' Arte and he is playing a cittern.

O sururu (da língua tupi, significando "escorrido", do verbo sururu: "vasar", "derramar") é uma espécie de mexilhão; um molusco bivalve marinho, costeiro e estuarino, da família Mytilidae, cientificamente denominado Mytella strigata (no passado, também denominado Mytella charruana ou Mytella falcata, por Alcide Dessalines d'Orbigny); popularmente nomeado, em inglês, falcate swamp mussel ou charru mussel. No litoral brasileiro, a espécie também recebe as denominações populares siriri, uma variante linguística, alastrim ou sururu-de-alagoas, segundo o Dicionário Aurélio (sendo abundante nas lagoas de Manguaba e Mundaú, Alagoas); com o Dicionário Houaiss da Língua Portuguesa acrescentando os nomes bacucu, bico-de-ouro, maria-preta, marisco-do-mangue, mexilhão-do-mangue, pretinho e sururu-do-mangue; não especificando que tais termos sejam necessariamente aplicados sobre a espécie Mytella strigata; ainda acrescentando que os termos sururu-da-vasa e sururu-de-alestrim especificam os habitats onde se encontram (respectivamente o fundo de lagoas, em meio ao lodo, ou se desenvolvendo em paus da linha da maré, junto às cracas), e que os termos sururu-de-capote e sururu-despinicado especificam, respectivamente, os indivíduos vendidos com ou sem a sua concha. No Paraná, Região Sul do Brasil, também é conhecido como marisco-de-dedo. Sem citar qual a espécie, Rodolpho von Ihering aponta que Wilson da Costa comenta sobre a existência, no Maranhão, de um sururu-de-coroa, que vive em "mantas", ou camadas extensas de "coroas de areia", não atingindo maiores dimensões; além de citar um sururu-de-punho, "que vive no tijuco do mangue, onde deixa pequenos orifícios à flor do mangue, para respirar". Tais hábitos fossoriais, deste sururu-de-punho, não são típicos do sururu verdadeiro; que vive agregado, submerso na água, formando "cachos" e bancos na região entremarés, e porque os mexilhões são caracterizados pela presença de tufos de filamentos escuros que prendem esses animais às rochas (bisso). O fato é que outra espécie, Mytella guyanensis (Lamarck, 1819), quando exposta à maré baixa pode enterrar-se no substrato até uma profundidade de 20 centímetros (KLAPPENBACH, 1965), podendo ser a que Wilson da Costa descrevera.

Em seu livro Moluscos Brasileiros de Interesse Médico e Econômico, Alexandre Valente Boffi nomeia todos os mexilhões da costa brasileira com o nome sururu, enquanto o malacologista Eliezer de Carvalho Rios cita este nome apenas para Mytella strigata.

Classificação científica
A espécie Mytella strigata foi classificada pelo malacologista britânico Sylvanus Charles Thorp Hanley; denominada Modiola strigata, em 1843, na obra An illustrated and descriptive catalogue of Recent shells, by Sylvanus Hanley.

Comércio, uso e alimentação, na costa brasileira
De acordo com um texto publicado em 2016 na Revista Semioses (v 10, n.03), o sururu é a "espécie mais explorada na costa brasileira, principalmente por população ribeirinha" (citando PEREIRA, 2014), sendo utilizado "não só como forma de subisistência, mas também para comercialização do produto". De acordo com Eurico Santos, citando um observador de seu comércio, a procura do sururu para alimentação chega a ser impressionante, tal o hábito enraizado e já tradicional que tem o povo, seja rico ou pobre, de apresentá-lo em sua mesa, quase diariamente. Por isso mesmo, o seu valor na economia popular é grande e considerável o seu comércio. Ainda comenta que a Great Western of Brazil Railway possuía trem cuja denominação era trem de sururu, contendo "4 a 5 carros carregados de sacos com sururu envolvidos em lama, para chegar vivo aos mercados interiores, indo até Palmeira dos Índios"; e que "em Maceió funcionou por muito tempo uma fábrica de conserva de sururu, que foi obrigada a fechar desde que a produção começou a tornar-se irregular", isto em virtude de sua sobrepesca. Tal fábrica se chamava A Mercantil Ltda, fundada no final da década de 1920 e início da década de 1930, que inclusive exportava o seu produto como finíssimo, de agradável gosto e excelentes qualidades nutritivas. Trata-se de uma iguaria muito conhecida nos estados da Região Nordeste do Brasil, onde é apreciada em pratos típicos, como o caldo de sururu, preparado com alguns vegetais, que é feito com azeite de dendê, ou azeite de oliva, e leite de coco; ou até mesmo em preparos com molho de tomate ou com farofa, como se fosse uma casquinha de siri, ou utilizado em saladas a vinagrete. Em Alagoas é saboreado cru, enriquecido com limão e sal de cozinha; muitos acreditando que este molusco tenha o poder de curar pessoas ou revigorá-las sexualmente. Já no Espírito Santo, na Região Sudeste do Brasil, ele é utilizado em moquecas. Está citado que o valor protéico desta espécie equivale ao da carne de frango ou de boi. Também faz parte da composição de diversos sambaquis ao longo da costa brasileira e seu uso se extende na utilização como matéria-prima para o artesanato. Em 11 de dezembro de 2014, o molusco foi decretado Patrimônio Imaterial de Alagoas por seu Conselho Estadual de Cultura; principalmente após os esforços do antropólogo Edson Bezerra, autor do livro Manifesto Sururu: Por uma Antropofagia das Coisas Alagoanas; havendo época em que era comum se referir a Alagoas como a terra do sururu e ao alagoano como papa-sururu; além de se dar o nome de sururuzeiro a seu coletor.

Descrição da concha
Mytella strigata possui uma concha alongada e de valvas similares, com até 5 centímetros de comprimento; dotada de um fino perióstraco enegrecido e com linhas de crescimento aparentes; com uma das laterais levemente retraída, de coloração castanho-amarelada em sua região umbonal-ventral e esverdeada na região dorsal. Seu interior é arroxeado.

Distribuição geográfica e bioinvasões
A distribuição geográfica da espécie se estende da Venezuela à Argentina, no oceano Atlântico, e do México ao Equador, no oceano Pacífico; sendo uma espécie invasora na Região Sudeste dos Estados Unidos, inicialmente encontrada em Jacksonville, condado de Duval, Flórida, em 1986, cobrindo um tubo de entrada de água do mar de uma usina; não sendo encontrada nos anos subsequentes até 2004, quando fora encontrada na praia de New Smyrna Beach, em um recife de ostras do condado de Volusia. Desde então a espécie fora avistada também nos condados de Flagler e St. Johns, ao norte; além dos condados Camden, Liberty e Bryan, na Geórgia. No Extremo Oriente asiático e Indo-Pacífico esta espécie fora encontrada em Singapura, Índia (em Querala), Filipinas (em Lução) e Taiwan, a partir do início do século XXI.

Conservação
Considerada uma espécie comum no século XX, Mytella strigata está listada como espécie pouco preocupante (LC) no Livro Vermelho da Fauna Brasileira Ameaçada de Extinção, publicado em 2018 pelo Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade, com a conclusão desta avaliação feita em 2012.

I had a good feeling about today! I don't know why, but I woke up in a great mood! Chiron was in his usual place on the porch, but staring out to sea barking. I looked out across the top of the wall, and saw something white... Could it be? I raced back upstairs and up onto the roof of the house to check; they were here! The boat was here! They had finally arrived!
I raced back down the stairs and off towards the wall! I couldn't wait to meet them! Anyone would've thought this would be a usual way to act considering the dramatic lack of social interaction I've had since I was dropped off here 27 days ago, but it was mostly so I could finally get to the bottom of this mysterious land! I approached the gate, expectedting to hear voices, the sounds of equipment being moved... But nothing. There was no sound at all, except the sound of the water lapping at the boat's edge! I opened the gate, and was met with a wall of sand! I was incredibly confused, but with a bit of effort, I managed to shift enough to get past. What I saw confused me; the boat was here, but the crew wasn't, and it seemed as though the boat had crashed!
The boat had approached too fast and dredged up lots of sand - which was now piled against the wall - whilst getting itself beached! The good thing was it had stopped short of the wall; no damage done! I called out quite loudly to see if anyone was aboard, or close by. But nothing. Silence. Not a single voice or noise responded. I edged around the piled sand and was about to step onto the pier to gain entry to the boat when I noticed it wasn't there! The pier had simply vanished; the strut posts were just about visible underneath the water! I was completely confused as to where it had gone, until I saw black markings along the side of the boat. I couldn't be sure, but it looked like there had been a fire. Maybe when the boat had approached, it was travelling with enough speed to set the pier on fire by rubbing quickly alongside it! I couldn't be sure, but I know the crew of the boat wouldn't disembark and then burn the only way back onto it! Also, I think they would've been more careful with the landing too! Where were they?
Utterly confused, I quickly returned to the house and fetched some wooden planks to craft a makeshift pier to get onto the boat! As for the crew, I didn't know where they were! Maybe they had seen the lack of a pier and decided to go to sleep until it was day! A long shot if I had every heard one, but at that point, I was willing to believe anything. Within ten minutes or so, I had erected a very basic platform with which to gain access to the boat.
I carefully made my way onto the boat, making sure not to make any sudden movements in case there was something unwanted here! Before heading inside, I went around the edge of the boat to see if anyone was standing on the far side. But nothing. I made a complete circuit of the outside of the boat but no-one was there. I headed inside onto the "Main deck" and looked around, all the while calling out to the crew! Once again, the only response was the lapping of the waves and the occasional creak of the boat as it rocked slightly backwards and forwards. I checked every room on the boat; the galley, the recreation room, the bridge and the supply room, but nothing. No-one. I suddenly approached the crew's quarters, and once again I was met with a room void of human life!
The crew was nowhere to be found on the boat! I couldn't gain access to the engine room, but juding by the size of the boat, I don't think the whole crew could fit in it anyway! I looked around the crew's quarters, and noticed that there were signs that someone had been here recently; opened unbookmarked books lay open on a few pillows, a cold cup of - what I could only assume to be - tea lying on chest of drawers next to a bed. Some of the drawers contained clothing - both male and female - whilst the others either held nothing or some personal affects. I looked around closely for any form of diary or PDA that one of the crew may have been using, but nothing. I went back into the supply room and checked each of the chests that was in there. But each chest only contained items it was labelled with; food, equipment, tools, transport... weapons. There was masses of equipment! Easily enough to suggest a five man crew minimum! So where were they?
I theorised that they may have gone exploring, but they had left a lot of equipment back on the boat, including survival gear, and official HoN Co. grade tactical armour! Makes my iron armour look like a sack of crap, but it was left behind! Maybe they had just gone to do some preliminary searches... maybe to get the lay of the land! I tried to think of any other reason why they might not be here, but in the dark recess of my mind, one idea hung on; maybe they had disappeared!
I went back upstairs and looked around the recreation room; nothing out of place or to suggest the crew leaving in a hurry. But the galley was another story altogether! There wre cookery books all over the place and one of the stoves was still on low. I put the mess of books down to the collision with the beach, but the stove! Now that was mysterious. It made that little dark idea creep a little further into the foreground, and I suddenly became aware that this might be the more accurate explanation, even if it did defy Occam's Razor! I left and went up onto the upper deck where the navigation bridge was and noticed nothing unusual either... Except the disturbing lack of human life! A few panels were still lit, and apparently the engine was still running. Although I think the boat may have run out of fuel, as there was no actual noise of the engine to be heard!
The naviagation panels were accurate: they had arrived! The meterological reports didn't show anything sinister for miles so it was unlikely they had been thrown overboard! I was about to go back down to the outside when I noticed a small, black book perched on top of the controls. Picking it up, I noticed it was a small calender/diary which came with a small pen, which was currently missing! Opening the diary I went straight to the latest entry, but it merely stated coordinates, data and that they were "on course...". I decided to take it with me, and headed off the boat, hoping to meet one of the crew as I left. But nothing. I then remembered that there had been flares in one of the supply crates down below, so I went and retrieved a handful. Going back outside, I fired one of the flares high into the air, in the hopes that I would attract the attention of the crew. As is obvious, I was still going along with the theory that they had gone off to do some preliminary sweeps of the area. Leaving it at that, I returned to the house, ensuring the gate was left open. I would wait until later tonight to check again, and if not, I would lock it for security's sake!
In the mean time I decided to regrow my forest to ensure I had a decent supply of wood, just in case they turned up and there was a need of it! So I spent all day planting trees, forcing them to grow and ensuring that they were brightly illuminated. I plan to put a path between them at some point, but that might not happen if my flare actually caught their attention. If there is any attention to be caught!


By using Russian-speakers in Latvia as a specific case study, this volume also offers a fresh methodological approach to the study of discourses and discursive strategies. It outlines a coherent methodology to study the evolution of discourses over time, rather than a single de-contextualised and static time period.
Caribbean English Usage shows the contribution of homeland British English to Caribbean English Creoles which spread across the Anglophone Caribbean as it merged with the hundreds of West African languages introduced during transatlantic slavery to form those English-based Creoles.
Sociocultural linguistics has long conceived of languages as well-bounded,separate codes. But the increasing diversity of languages encountered by most people in their daily lives challenges this conception. This volume takes stock of the increasing diversity of linguistic phenomena and more.

Meet the Designers: Tadd Kreun and Julie Snow, with R.T. Rybak
Thursday, May 17, 2018 7:00 pm
Walker Art Center Cinema, Minneapolis
When the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden reopened in June 2017 after a multi-year renovation, longtime visitors checked their memories against the new arrangement. Is that piece new? Didn't there used to be a . . . check out that rooster! Landscape architecture firm oslund.and.assoc and Snow Kreilich Architects revamped the landmark art park to improve its stormwater management and overall sustainability, as well as enhance its integration with the Walker Art Center's newly redesigned landscape. Some features disappeared, new ones arrived, and old favorites remained the same—or almost the same.
Snow Kreilich's Julie Snow says the iconic Cowles Conservatory was almost eliminated from the new plan. With its single-pane glass and palm trees in Minnesota's continental climate, the energy-inefficient jewel box was far from sustainable. So Snow and her team unplugged it. The renovation removed the walls and opened the shelter up to the four seasons. "Now it better reflects its surroundings. It's a place for people to gather within the park," she says. "We're so lacking in places for people to simply walk around and rest and enjoy public spaces. It's an issue in the American city."
For more insights on the rejuvenation of one of Minnesota's most beloved public spaces, join oslund.and.assoc's Tadd Kreun, Julie Snow, and special guest R.T. Rybak for a Target Free Thursday Night design conversation in the Walker Art Center Cinema.

Strategically placed berries make this rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert even more memorable. Cut into diminutive squares, the patriotic cake affords guests equal opportunity in their pursuit of the perfect summer sweet.
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides. Coat parchment with spray.
2. Sift flour and 1 3/4 teaspoons salt into a bowl. Cream butter with a mixer on medium-high speed, occasionally scraping bowl, until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly add light-brown sugar, beating until very pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture all at once, and beat on low speed until just incorporated.
3. Transfer dough to sheet. Use a large piece of plastic wrap to press dough into an even layer that covers the bottom of the sheet. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
4. Bake dough until entire surface is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely in sheet on a wire rack. Raise oven temperature to 350.
5. In a clean bowl, beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed, occasionally scraping bowl, until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add granulated sugar in a slow, steady stream. Scrape bowl, then mix in lemon zest, vanilla and almond extracts, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Scrape bowl, then beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated. The mixture should be very smooth; scrape bowl as necessary. Pour over crust, and spread into an even layer.
6. Bake until filling is set, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in sheet on rack. Refrigerate until firm and cold, about 4 hours (or overnight).
7. Run a sharp knife along short sides of sheet, and use parchment to lift out cheesecake. Run knife under hot water and dry well. Use it to cut cheesecake into 48 squares, wiping knife clean between cuts.
8. Transfer squares to a serving platter, reforming the rectangle. Decorate top left squares (3 down and 4 across), placing a blackberry in the center of each square and mounding blueberries around it. Using a long offset spatula, slide out 4 squares from bottom row. Top each square with 3 strawberry slices, dust with confectioners' sugar, and return to rectangle. Repeat with remaining 4 squares on bottom row and then squares on alternating rows. Alternatively, omit strawberries and dust alternating rows generously with confectioners' sugar. Place raspberries on every unadorned row, beginning with top row. Serve immediately (or refrigerate overnight).
For truly white stripes, cover alternating rows with just confectioners' sugar rather than lightly dusted strawberries.
This recipe was great for a cookout, because of the individual servings. The squares did take quite a bit of effort to cut. I would recommend using white raspberries as the white stripes and the strawberries as the red stripes, so you don't have to add sugar.
YUMS! This recipe was pretty straight forward, looks and tastes great. I used sliced white peaches for the white stripes rather than sugar dusted strawberries. I will definitely make it again, but I'll decrease the crust next time because it is about 1:1 crust vs. cake, and I prefer my cheesecake a little cheesier.
The cheesecake flag looked great and tasted great. It is a simple recipe to make for a crowd, and everyone raved about it!
This recipe was easier than I thought it would be, and tasted and looked great! I made it in a disposable half sheet cake pan, which made it super easy to transport to a party. Yum!
Everyone could barely keep their hands off this cake until serving time on Independence Day! A number of people in my family don't care for cheesecake but tried this because it was so delicious looking. They all loved it! The crust-cheesecake ratio is 1:1 so non-cheesecake loving friends and family will find it enjoyable. I didn't have a 13x18 pan but my 11x17 rimmed cookie sheet worked just fine!
This cake was a HIT at the 4th of July party. Lots of compliments on the look and taste. We would make it again for sure. Conveniently, I found a 13x18 pan by Martha at Macy's.

Predictability Quotes (7 quotes)
A discussion between Haldane and a friend began to take a predictable turn. The friend said with a sigh, "It's no use going on. I know what you will say next, and I know what you will do next." The distinguished scientist promptly sat down on the floor, turned two back somersaults, and returned to his seat. "There," he said with a smile. "That's to prove that you're not always right."
— J.B.S. Haldane
As quoted in Clifton Fadiman (ed.), André Bernard (ed.), Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes (2000), 253.

By the 18th century science had been so successful in laying bare the laws of nature that many thought there was nothing left to discover. Immutable laws prescribed the motion of every particle in the universe, exactly and forever: the task of the scientist was to elucidate the implications of those laws for any particular phenomenon of interest. Chaos gave way to a clockwork world. But the world moved on ...Today even our clocks are not made of clockwork. ... With the advent of quantum mechanics, the clockwork world has become a lottery. Fundamental events, such as the decay of a radioactive atom, are held to be determined by chance, not law.

I had this experience at the age of eight. My parents gave me a microscope. I don't recall why, but no matter. I then found my own little world, completely wild and unconstrained, no plastic, no teacher, no books, no anything predictable. At first I did not know the names of the water-drop denizens or what they were doing. But neither did the pioneer microscopists. Like them, I graduated to looking at butterfly scales and other miscellaneous objects. I never thought of what I was doing in such a way, but it was pure science. As true as could be of any child so engaged, I was kin to Leeuwenhoek, who said that his work "was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a craving after knowledge, which I notice resides in me more that most other men."

Predictability: Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?
— Edward Lorenz
Title of paper presented at the 139th Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (29 Dec 1972). The text of the talk, in its original form, as then prepared for press release but unpublished, is in Edward Lorenz, Essence of Chaos (1995), Appendix 1, 181. Note: Webmaster has been unable to find a verbatim source for a widely circulated variant, namely: The fluttering of a butterfly's wing in Rio de Janeiro, amplified by atmospheric currents, could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. That form is given in Laura Nader, Naked Science: Anthropological Inquiry Into Boundaries (1996), 209. However, it appears in a sentence as narrative, without quotation marks, and has no citation. Webmaster believes it may be the concept restated by Nader in her own words. Webmaster has not yet found any earlier printed, cited or verbatim example in the wording of the variant. If you know a primary source for this variant, please contact Webmaster.

Scientists are the easiest to fool. ... They think in straight, predictable, directable, and therefore misdirectable, lines.

Artists - P Music - 1960s 3 Mins Read
P.F. Sloan
Philip Gary Schlein was something of a child prodigy. Moving from New York to Hollywood in the late 50s, he signed his first recording contract at the age of 12.
After releasing a debut single in 1959 he landed a job at Dunhill. Teamed with song writing partner Steve Barri, they became the label's in-house hit-making machine.
As PF Sloan – the teen prince of Californian pop – Schlein seemed to have it all. In the 60s he wrote hits for The Turtles, Herman's Hermits, The Searchers, Jan & Dean and – most famously – Barry McGuire, whose version of Eve Of Destruction was a 1965 Billboard chart-topper. But by the end of the decade, he'd vanished altogether.
In 1970, Jimmy Webb was moved to pen PF Sloan, mourning his absence with the lines; "The last time I saw PF Sloan/He was summer-burned, he was Winter-blown/Did you hear he turned the corner all alone?". So where did it all go wrong?
"I'd say it was when my label tried to put a bomb under my parents' car," said Sloan in 2006, with mock casualness. "That's what put me off the record industry. What was it all about? Money, power and greed. These people were very dangerous and put me through a tremendous amount. I had to scurry and find a way to survive."
Although The Turtles and The Byrds both passed on their Dylan-esque bomb protest Eve Of Destruction, ex-New Christy Minstrel folk singer Barry McGuire knew better. Even a radio ban couldn't halt its progress to the top of the charts.
Its success (and the release of 1965 solo LP Songs Of Our Times) suddenly converted him from backroom boy to would-be generation spokesman. Ironically, the label was not pleased.
"Dunhill didn't want me to be a solo artist and write songs like Eve Of Destruction. They just wanted nice little pop songs, which I was doing as a teenager," says Sloan.
He cited 'death threats' as the cause of his abrupt retirement. And there were surprisingly few royalties to live off. "I was paid just once when I was 19 or 20. Then the private accountant absconded to Brazil. The next year they put a gun to my head and made me sign away everything."
By 1970 he had moved back in with his parents and took a series of jobs washing cars, polishing sunglasses and selling insurance by telephone. Then came the breakdown . . .
"I became terribly ill. I was suffering from hypoglycaemia [a blood glucose deficiency] and catatonia and spent time in three mental institutions. I was basically off the planet for 18 years. I was really wearing everything out on my sleeve. So when I cracked, it was a deep, deep crack."
He received an epiphany in 1986 at the hands of Indian holy man Sai Baba. After slapping Sloan's face, his subject went into a "bliss state" for days, after which his illness slowly began to fade. In the interim, his songs were covered by everyone from The Pretty Things and Betty Everett to Devo and Psychic TV.
Sloan returned with a new album in 2006 – Sailover – which boasted contributions from various famous fans. Lucinda Williams duetted on a recast The Sins Of The Family, while Frank Black tackled Eve Of Destruction.

A project for wooden blocks of flats in the Päijät-Häme region was launched in 1995 and was used for charting woodworking experts in Päijät-Häme. The project's goal was to find as many groups as possible that could offer a wooden block of flats as a product, or at least its wooden parts.
High requirements for fire safety and thermal properties were the main reasons for choosing non-combustible PAROC® stone wool as insulation.

Some perspective on the current gender dustup
The Reformed-ish Twittershpere has been in high dudgeon since the release of Rachel Miller's book Beyond Authority and Submission. Mark Jones wrote a review of Miller's book wherein he critiques what he believes are significant weaknesses. And then, to make matters a bit more interesting my friend Aimee Byrd posted a critique by Valerie Hobbs of Dr. Jones' critique of Miller's book. It all seems a bit confusing, I know.
A Little Pushback for My Friends
Last week the episode of the MOS podcast which aired was recorded by Carl and Aimee while I was in Dallas for the PCA's General Assembly. I had not listened to the episode but when I saw that some more progressive folks in the PCA were referring to the episode to criticize the Gospel Reformation Network (GRN) I became more than a little curious.
Blog 244: 4.20.27 - 4.20.32
Calvin's sensitivity to the different circumstances in which people live lead him to flip-flop, or at least to be somewhat ambivalent in his attitude to the magistrate. Citing the case of Nebuchadnezzar (Jer. 27), Scripture requires obedience to bad kings, and even to pray for the well being of the country of exile (Jer.29). No doubt Calvin has his own city of exile, Geneva, in mind. But should not rulers, who also have responsibilities, be kept on track? Yes, but not by ourselves, but by Almighty God. This leads to discussion of the vexed question of civil disobedience.
No doubt having the Anabaptists in mind, and having already defended the right to litigate, Calvin proceeds to defend the entire judicial process. He discourages using the law for the taking of revenge, but upholds the use of due process, 'through which God may work for our good'. (It is interesting that in his teaching Calvin primarily seems to have mind not Geneva, which by this time in his career he believed was governed along right lines, but countries where the law may remain hostile to evangelical Christianity).
Pray Like a Prophet
Following Elijah's stunning victory over the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18, he turns his attention to drought that continued to linger over the land. Back in 1 Kings 17, Elijah had announced a drought on the land because of the apostasy of the people. They had backed into Baalism and paganism. And their failure to remain faithful to the Lord carried the judgment of God removing his word from the people, signified by the lack of rain or dew. This was also a polemic against Baal, the storm god. The Baal cycle would be broken and the LORD would show himself to be God.
A Dirty Doeg
"With which person in the Bible do you most identify?" This is a question I have often asked others in the church over the years. Most of us lack even enough self-awareness to able to answer the question. Others among us have a propensity to appeal to the best characters in Scripture.
Struck Down but Not Destroyed
Following a discussion of various conspiracy theories, bad driving, and why the Spinners will never record episodes while in a car with Aimee at the wheel…the conversation turns to the topic of anxiety. To broach the subject, the crew welcomes Pierce Taylor Hibbs. He's the associate director of the Center for Theological Writing at Westminster Theological Seminary, and author of Struck Down But Not Destroyed - Living Faithfully With Anxiety.
Todd's been summoned to host a popular TV show, but Carl and Aimee guarantee that they can handle this week's episode without his coaching.

In Praise of Wisdom
Some find it misguided to praise men. It was, after all, the Corinthian problem that they openly declared their allegiance to men: Apollos, Paul, or Peter. In doing so they caused major divisions in the Corinthian church.
But we are not, I think, to conclude from this that we are never to express our appreciation for the lives of men (and women!) whose gifts have helped not only their own generation but our own also. Surely, this is the meaning of the gallery of the faithful in Hebrews 11.

Beyond Authority and Submission: A Review
Although I do not know Rachel Green Miller personally and I am not on social media, I have been able to follow some of the debate surrounding her writing for a number of years. In my work for ACE, I have published her articles in the past, and have defended her in various ways both publicly and privately, while also voicing what I hope were fair and constructive criticisms. Miller's recent book, Beyond Authority and Submission, published by our friends at P&R, was endorsed by some close personal friends of mine, people whose expertise and acumen I greatly admire.
The Housewife Theologian
My Worst-Selling Book
I kind of stumbled into becoming an author. I began as a reader and a thinker in the church, connecting a lot of dots in my reading that led to more convictions and questions. And I couldn't find the next book I wanted to read. So, I wrote it.

Over the Christmas and New Year holiday, I treated myself to read Volume II of Amy Mantravadi's Chronicles of Maud series, The Forsaken Monarch. At first, I couldn't decide whether to read it on Kindle or in print, as I didn't know if I could comfortably hold a 657-page book the way you'd want to curl up and read a novel.
iii. As Christ would have us to be certainly persuaded that there shall be a day of judgment, both to deter all men from sin; and for the greater consolation of the godly in their adversity: (2 Pet. 3:11, 14, 2 Cor. 5:10-11, 2 Thess. 1:5-7, Luke 21:27-28, Rom. 8:23-25) so will He have that day unknown to men, that they may shake off all carnal security, and be always watchful, because they know not at what hour the Lord will come; and may be ever prepared to say, Come Lord Jesus, come quickly. Amen. (Matt. 24:36, 42-44, Mark 13:35-37, Luke 12:35-36, Rev. 22:20).
ii. The end of God's appointing this day is for the manifestation of the glory of His mercy, in the eternal salvation of the elect; and of His justice, in the damnation of the reprobate, who are wicked and disobedient. For then shall the righteous go into everlasting life, and receive that fullness of joy and refreshing, which shall come from the presence of the Lord: but the wicked, who know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, shall be cast into eternal torments, and be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.

B. B. Warfield – Not a Solitary Theologian
Due to a need for brevity, many articles on Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851-1921) focus on his theology and his devotion to his wife, whose illness kept the couple close to home. Because of this, he is often seen as a solitary man leading an uneventful life. This view is compounded by the fact that we have a very limited access to his letters (the scholar who holds his correspondence is currently working on a long-due biography).
By Dan Doriani
As I begin the New Year, I find myself meditating on the fruits of justification by faith, especially the great principle that it brings us access to God. Paul says that through Christ, "we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand" (Rom. 5:2a). Peace with God creates access to God, so that we can stand before him fearlessly. By grace, we can stand calmly before God. Illustrations may help us take this benefit to heart.
The Judgment and Wrath of God – An Unpopular but Necessary Theme
One summer, a family man (and personal friend) traveled to Paris, where he spent a morning enjoying Luxembourg Gardens. In time, he noticed a group of mothers who, he realized, were so engrossed in their conversation that they tilted toward neglect of their children. He watched as one child wandered ever farther from her mother in the crowded park. Not yet two, she began to follow a family, apparently thinking its mother was her mother. When the group crossed a street and hurried onward, the child was finally quite alone.

Reflect Deeply
Christians are frequently reminded to "remember the reason for Christmas," meaning, of course, that we should turn our attention away from the cultural trappings and to the fact that Jesus was born to Mary in Bethlehem. But this Christmas, perhaps we should fix our attention a little more closely, not just on the details of Jesus' birth, but on the miracle of the incarnation. In so doing, we join a great cloud of Christian witnesses, who have reflected deeply on this glorious mystery.
Theology on the Go: Missions
This week on Theology on the Go, Dr. Jonathan Master is joined by Dr. Liam Goligher, pastor of the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in downtown Philadelphia, PA. As pastor of Tenth Presbyterian, Dr. Goligher has done much thinking and teaching on the topic of missions, and how Christians are to reach the lost. This installment of Theology on the Go gives a glimpse of some of that teaching as Dr. Goligher chats with Jonathan about the doctrine of missions.

The spiritual ontology of the Church
There is a certain view of church that regards it (especially as expressed in the local congregation) as a 'voluntary association'. The idea has been notably prevalent among Christians in the United States, but has been embraced more widely in other parts of the world. Interestingly this perception of church only began to increase in popularity in post-colonial America with the growth of Non-Conformist churches.
There are many occasions when what seem like throwaway remarks from Jesus say far more than we may realise. One in particular is heard in our Lord's exchange with the Canaanite woman in the region of Tyre and Sidon (Mt 15.21-28), where he tells her, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'
Calvin for 2020
"What is it about Calvin that so inspires me? This: his disciplined style, his determination never to speculate, his utter submission to Bible words as God's words, his submission to Christ's Lordship, his sense of the holy, his concern to be as practical as possible; the fact that godly living was his aim and not theology for the sake of it. In a forest of theologians, Calvin stands like a Californian Redwood, towering over everyone else." — Derek Thomas

My Top Five Books of 2019: the Unthank Edition
Roald Dahl provided for my wife and I, when we first got married, a proper philosophy of home with his memorable instruction, "Please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away. And in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall." 2019 saw many more books added to that bookshelf and here I want to tell you about some of my favorites I've read this year.

Why the Virgin Born Son?
Have you ever wondered why Matthew 1:23 quotes Isaiah 7:14? Perhaps the ready answer is that the quote substantiates the virgin conception and birth of Christ, which is true enough. However, the text raises a number of questions. For instance, why did God promise a virgin conceived and virgin born son in the line of David?
Doctrine of God and Church Discipline - Q&A Podcast
Doctrine of God and Church Discipline - Q&A
Jonathan and James answer a few listener's questions as a follow-up to a prior episode. Our hosts address the question of how one can know if Scripture is speaking of God metaphorically or literally. How should one understand Scripture when it talks about God having body parts and emotions, such as passions and feelings? James uses the term "God's absolute sourcehood" to establish the standard of judgment on such matters.

Your True Retirement Plan
We probably all have bank accounts with savings, and maybe investments and 401(k)s. Wisdom would suggest that while we trust God we also should be good stewards and save. You want to have in inheritance—at the end of the road of your work life, you want to have a nest egg. This doesn't make you greedy, in most cases it means you were prudent. But all of this should make us ask, where is my real inheritance? What is the real price? Where, or better, in whom is my true retirement.
This is Your Time (God Has a Plan and Purpose to Every Season of Your Life Under Heaven)
What season did we recently enter? Spring. What comes next? Summer. Then what? Fall. Then what? Winter. And then? Spring. And so on until Christ's Second Coming. The year's seasons are cyclical—and somewhat predictable. So the seasons of our years should not surprise us but rather inspire our adaptability, acceptance, and appreciation.

Next ArticleCamp-N-Drag 2014 - Get Your Camp On!
Growing up in the custom car and truck scene caused Eric Livingston to get bitten by the custom bug quite early on. Eric, as most car guys do, started out playing with matchbox cars and hot wheels at a very young age. As he grew up the toy cars faded away and the the drag strip became the place to be on the weekends. Eric's fond memories along with attending shows, such as the Autorama with his Pops, are definitely just a few of the reasons you see this beautiful 1966 Cadillac laid out before you. Eric is one of those guys that has had way too many custom vehicles through the years to even list them all here. When it came time to pull out the big guns and build a sick Cadillac to check off that ever growing "must build list" Eric was definitely equipped to do battle.
Since Eric is no stranger to custom rides, he decided to pick up this Cadillac from close friends Curt and Leanne Hall, owners of Bender Auto Body. At the time Eric had a 2-door 1959 Buick as his weekend cruiser but the right buyer came along and offered up a deal that he just couldn't refuse. Letting the Buick go gave way to a fist full of cash burning a hole in his pocket, so Eric did what any self respecting car guy would do – he went out and bought more cars! When Curt decided to sell this all original 1966 'Lac Eric knew it had to be his. A plan was devised to switch up the look of this classic car by completely repainting it a new color within a few short weeks. Curt agreed to take on the paint and restoration job so that when the car was delivered, it would also have a completely fresh look. Once the Ultrasonic Blue Mica color was selected Curt and his crew at Bender got to work. Lets not forget that this is a long car so to tackle this feat in such a short amount of time is no drop in the bucket. However, the flawless body and paint work sure paid off – in a few short weeks the '66 was completely transformed. Eric was beyond stoked to see his car delivered at Lonestar Throwdown and sporting the new color. One of the few mods is the shaved rear Cadillac script and side emblems. Not content with just settling at the new paint job, Eric had some more tricks up his sleeve.
After a couple of shows passed Eric decided he wanted to revamp the air setup in the Caddy, which included a new notch, driveshaft tunnel, Universal Joint, shock setup and air management components. Eric and his buddy got to work and tackled the job in two weekends flat! For rolling attire the 15-inch steel Cadillac wheels were powder coated black along with newly restored hubcaps and 3.25-inch whitewalls were added for that classic yet custom look. Airlift 2600 bags were used at all four corners to give the car the adjustment and supple ride he was after. Finally, Eric was more than content with the setup on his '66 Cadillac. When it came time for engine mods the plan was simple. Clean up the factory 429 big-block and add a custom exhaust to bring things to life. Gentry's in Denton Texas took care of the exhaust work and Eric cleaned up the engine bay to his liking. As for the interior, well this is another area that Detroit definitely got right with this classic! Eric's thought process was "why change up what was already bitchin' and well done?" Everything down to the head unit is original, and we can't say that we disagree with his decision as the original interior is in amazing shape for being almost half a century old.
Some say that Detroit has lost it's styling edge with the new cars rolling out of the factories these days. It is pretty hard to argue that when looking at such a classic beauty as this Cadillac. But a badass build certainly wouldn't be possible without the help of some good friends. Eric would like to thank Curt and Leanna Hall, Bender Auto Body, Brandon and Bob Ellison at ABC Automotive and Wheel Repair Solutions. When asked what Eric likes best about the car he simply said "the big chrome front end being so low to the ground" and of course, you know that here at Slam'd Mag we couldn't agree more!

Grandpa would plough the open field.
If a good harvest you wish to yield.
And ploughed at a time one single row.
Hoping and praying that it would grow.
Be out in the field tending to his crop.
Was the only time he would ever stop.
Taking time out every day.
And onto Him he would always pray.
And black dirt smudged upon his face.
He sang with such dignifying grace.
And an experienced callused hand.
Backbreaking work it does demand.
It takes love to make things grow.
Bountiful crops you will always sow.
In the fields is where he'd be.
And only being here he felt so free.
Taking us right through winter and spring.
With the extra bit of money that it did bring.
About too much work or it being too hard.
Which were old, weathered and scarred.
Throughout all those years ago.
Because he loved his family so.
He had carefully tenderly planted.
And to never take things for granted.
That it's your prayers that will get you through.
On the days that seemed bleak and grim.
