Review: The Spirit of '74, How the American Revolution Began by Ray and Marie Raphael
On November 24, 2015 November 25, 2015 By Phill GreenwaltIn Revolutionary War, Uncategorized2 Comments
Why did Boston's act of political vandalism lead to a British military expedition against small towns in Massachusetts sixteen months later?
How, exactly did evolving political tensions result in actual warfare?
How did Lexington and Concord become, as Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "the shot heard around the world."
The Spirit of '74, How the American Revolution Began by Ray Raphael and Marie Raphael
In a much-needed narrative, historians Ray and Marie Raphael fill in the movement toward those first shots at Lexington and Concord. In a primary source driven, easy to read history of that year before and leading up to 1775. However, "our story slows, pausing at additional markers that are often bypassed or slighted" (x).
Therein lies "only in a full telling is war a plausible outcome" (x).
The Raphael duo fluidly walks the reader through the build-up to that fateful April 1775 day. The book sheds light on developments in towns and counties across the colony of Massachusetts. A timeline in the beginning provides a good resource to remember the important dates as you read.
With the British response to the Boston Tea Party of December 1773, committed activists perceived that Britain had handed them a blueprint for disenfranchisement (44). What would be seen in the colony as the Coercive Acts, which, among other changes nullified the Charter of 1691 which colonists in Massachusetts held as sacrosanct. When the news of what the British government had did, which arrived in the harbor of Boston in May 1774 until the following April 1775, "resistance would mount, coalesce, and manifest itself in armed, relentless rebellion (44).
That coalescing would resemble an accordion, with Boston being one end and the countryside of Massachusetts the other end of the instrument. Both ends would reverberate the bellows as ideas, exchanges of opinions, passive and aggressive action, all marred the intervening months of 1774. Until as Abigail Adams wrote many months before April 1775, the"flame is kindled and like lightening it catches from soul to soul" (192).
The Raphael duo capture what the farmers in Berkshire set in motion, in accordance with capturing the attitude of townspeople in Worcester, Massachusetts at the same time. These various local uprisings, which put an emphasis on peaceful activities coalesced into the call for committees and eventually into the need for the Provincial Congress. This Congress acted as the de-facto governing body of Massachusetts in response to British measures to subdue and punish the intransigent rebels.
When viewed through the prism of the preceding years, what happened on the green of Lexington or the North Bridge at Concord becomes clearer as the pivot in which the simmering resentment in Massachusetts finally boiled over and led to the "shot heard around the world."
Every once in a while a monograph is written that fills a necessary void in the field of early American Revolutionary history. This history is definitely one of those as it fills in that critical, yet overlooked, time period in the build-up to the fighting between British-American colonists and the redcoats that represented the mother country.
One cannot hope to understand the events of 1775 and beyond without knowing how the colonists of Massachusetts, so many that have unfortunately been lost to the passing of time, began the protests that led to independence, beginning in the years before.
Or as the authors more succinctly state; "and so begins a story we know" (214).

"To see that representation of children in care meant so much"
Home / More / News / "To see that representation of children in care meant so much"
University of Sunderland's 'We Care' team; Safeenah Hussian Wendy Price, Lauren Boffey and Jess Faith
The heartwarming John Lewis Christmas advert's message this year highlighting life for children in care is reflected in the award-winning support the University of Sunderland offers its students – and winning the backing of one student who has experienced the care system first-hand.
Sunderland has a deep-rooted history of supporting under-represented students to access and achieve their full potential within higher education.
In 2016, a unique framework was introduced to support some of the University's most vulnerable students, those who are care-experienced or estranged from their parents or carers, with help from bursaries to accommodation.
As a result of this approach, the We Care' team's work has achieved national acclaim, picking up a range of awards and accolades, including just this week; winning the 'Emotional Wellbeing Support' provided to estranged students in the Stand Alone Pledge Awards 2022*.
In the past academic year alone, 86 care-experienced students have been supported by the team, and 15 care-experienced students graduated from their courses in the summer.
The importance of fostering, kindness and human connection - reinforced in this year's John Lewis advert - comes at a critical time for the We Care team, as they launch their annual Christmas appeal, raising funds to support care-experienced and estranged students at our Sunderland and London campuses.
For many of these students Christmas is a time they will spend alone, perhaps without a card, gift, festive meal or companionship. For those students with children, it is a particularly difficult time with the current cost of living crisis which will make it even more difficult to make Christmas special for these families. A donation will provide a gift, festive foods and warm clothing to see them through the festive period.
Zara Clench, 21, from Devon, who is in the second year of a Health & Social Care degree, is one such student to benefit from the We Care team's support.
Zara went into foster care at age 13, due to problems in her home life. She has had the same foster carers ever since, and remains close, describing them as her 'family'. The young girl in the John Lewis Advert standing at the door, clutching a skateboard, resonated with Zara the first time she met her own foster carers.
"I remember every second of that day, asking so many questions, I even asked if their house was a mansion! They are amazing, and we remain very close, I am very much part of their family. The John Lewis advert really touched me. To see that representation of children in care meant so much. There are so many misconceptions about children in care, we aren't often portrayed in a positive light, but this advert was done so well and in the right way.
Zara, who plans to study for a Masters degree once she graduates and eventually become a social worker, supporting children in care, says the We Care team was a lifeline when she began her degree.
"The team have been amazing and are always there when I needed them. They helped with accommodation and a bursary, taking the stress out of university in a new place and not knowing anyone. I absolutely love it here and have never looked back, there's always someone here to support me with anything I need, even just to talk to and have a regular coffee with."
Zara Clench
Zara added: "The We Care at Christmas appeal is also a fantastic idea, receiving a present really does help, to know others out there really do care. Those little things are important and make you feel like you belong."
Wendy Price, OBE, Head of Widening Access & Participation at the University of Sunderland, said: "We recognise there are certain times of the year which our students can find particularly challenging, so we reach out to them all regularly; these include birthdays, Christmas, Easter, exam periods and preparation for graduation. We strive to be sensitive and inclusive in all of our communications avoiding the assumption that all students will be 'going home for Christmas' or 'inviting parents and family members to graduation ceremonies. Our students tell us that this relatively small detail goes a long way towards supporting them to feel valued and 'visible' as part of the University community."
The University strives to raise awareness of the needs of care-experienced students both regionally and nationally. As part of this role, staff are regularly invited to contribute to national policy documents and advise other colleagues and professionals within higher education and more broadly across sectors such as education, social care and national networks such as Uni Connect.
Wendy says: "We recognise that we have a key role in raising the educational aspirations of pupils as well as providing training and development opportunities for staff.
"We support local authorities across the region by offering training to key workers and foster carers to share the benefits of higher education, clarify the application process and share the success stories of our current students."
She added: "Higher education can be a stabilising factor and transformative experience in the lives of these students. Support to progress into and through higher education allows these students to thrive, personally and professionally, in higher education and beyond."

Josef Jakubec SJ (1. září 1932 Ústí nad Orlicí – 15. února 1995 Praha) byl český římskokatolický kněz a jezuita, který v letech 1990 až 1991 působil jako generální vikář královéhradecké diecéze.

Život
Narodil se v rodině čalouníka a dekoratéra Františka Jakubce jako jedno z jeho osmi dětí. Dětství prožil v domě svého otce v Kostelní ulici v Ústí nad Orlicí, který byl později zbourán. V roce 1945 byl spolu se svým bratrem Václavem přijat ke studiu na jezuitské gymnázium na Velehradě, ústav však byl v roce 1948 zrušen. V srpnu 1949 vstoupil do jezuitského řádu a 13. dubna 1950 byl internován. Po propuštění z internace koncem roku 1950 mu již nebylo další teologické studium umožněno. Od 1. září 1952 do 30. listopadu 1954 sloužil u pomocného technického praporu v Komárně, poté se vrátil domů a pracoval na různých místech jako dělník.

Díky politickému uvolnění mu bylo umožněno v září 1968 odejít na jezuitskou univerzitu v Innsbrucku. Po roce studií byl 20. září 1969 vysvěcen na kněze a začal působit v královéhradecké diecézi, nejprve jako kostelník, poté jako výpomocný duchovní a nakonec jako duchovní správce; tím byl postupně v Hradci Králové, Chrasti, Licibořicích (od 1. června 1977), Štokách (od 1. srpna 1982) a Rychnově nad Kněžnou (od roku 1986). V roce 1990 ho biskup Otčenášek jmenoval generálním vikářem královéhradecké diecéze, jeho působení v této funkci však ukončil infarkt (generálním vikářem byl do 22. července 1991).

Po zotavení odešel do jezuitského kláštera na Svatém Hostýně a stal se sociem magistra noviců (tj. pomocníkem novicmistra). V roce 1992 se spolu s celým jezuitským noviciátem přestěhoval do Kolína. Později byl ustanoven duchovním správcem farnosti u kostela sv. Jiljí v Praze, kde působil až do své smrti. Byl pochován do řádové hrobky.

Family of slain Hoosier hopeful about new hostage policy
Michael Anthony Adams
The family of Abdul-Rahman (Peter) Kassig, an Indianapolis native who was captured by Islamic State militants in October 2013 and eventually killed a little more than a year later, responded with hope to a report released Wednesday that said the U.S. government would no longer threaten hostage families with prosecution if they decided to pay ransom for their loved ones.
In the statement, Kassig's family joined relatives of American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff in saying they were grateful the government gave them the opportunity to participate and voice their concerns and recommendations regarding the current U.S. policy.
"We have faith the changes announced today will lead to increased success in bringing our citizens home," the statement said. "When we see evidence of this occurring, it will further our healing."
President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the U.S. government will no longer threaten hostage families with prosecution if they want to pay ransom privately, USA Today reported.
He also signed an executive order creating a new office to oversee hostage policy and establishing a family engagement coordinator who will advocate for and communicate with hostage families. Officials in the new office also will be able to talk directly with hostages' captors.
"When it comes to how our government works to recover Americans held hostage and how we work with their families, we are changing how we do business," Obama said. "After everything they've endured, these families are right to be skeptical, and that's why it's so important — as I told them today — that we will be setting up mechanisms to ensure accountability and implementation."
The Islamic State group distributed a video via social media early on Nov. 16 to announce the beheading of Kassig, a humanitarian worker and former U.S. Army Ranger captured the year before in Syria.
His parents, Ed and Paula Kassig, Indianapolis, said at the time they were "heartbroken" by the news and pledged to "work every day to keep his legacy alive as best we can."

Next Assassin's Creed Game Announced; It's A Board Game?
Ubisoft has announced a partnership with Cryptozoic Entertainment to adapt the popular franchise into a board game. Called Assassin's Creed: Arena, it is a strategic game where 2 – 4 players attempt to assassinate each other is a race for kills.
Some will be familiar with Cryptozoic as the company behind the now defunct World of Warcraft CCG, as well as The Walking Dead boardgame. In this adaptation, players will play as Templars from Assassin's Creed: Revelations like Shahkulu (the Renegade), Odai Dunqas (the Guardian), Oksana Razin (the Vanguard) and Anacletos (the Gladiator).
The Ubisoft blog acknowledges that a boardgame of this magnitude might be a bit much for their regular fans to grasp, and have posted a quick how-to guide for the upcoming game. From the outline, it appears to capture the stealth and sneaking aspect of the video games. Players will attempt to kill each other, while avoiding detection by guards that roam the city. It's a little like playing Assassin's Creed over multiplayer, except that you have cardboard cutouts and cards instead of a controller.
Assassin's Creed: Arena will be released at the end of the month.


Obama was also challenged that he was Kenyan then he brought his birth certificate which showed that he was born in Hawaii thus making him a full American citizen by birth. His mother too is a full American.
Let Atiku bring his birth certificate that shows where he was born. In the absence of birth certificate, we will rely on the information he himself has provided which is Jada village in northern Cameroon.
Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, at the Jamaica Hospital in the borough of Queens , New York City . Where is New York City located?
With respect to your allegation that Atiku was not born in Nigeria, you have no case submission; there is no issue especially since it is confirmed that his state and place of birth is under the territory of Nigeria. Besides you have not quoted expressly the article of the 1999 constitution that purportedly disqualifies Atiku.
If the desire for a better Nigeria, that would have been more auspicious given the administration of Atiku rather than the incompetent and toxic president of Nigeria (PMB), is interpretred by you as loving illegality. Then so be it.
Mind you, you and FG are still to convict Atiku on your persistent allegation of theft. We are not all fools, you see!
- Hope one day you wont wake up to news of Azikiwe, Balewa, Awolowo not being Nigerians as their Grandfathers may have bore them somewhere else, just because of partisan politics above the unity of the Nation.
- Does that mean a competent court of law may one day void Adamawa, Yobe, Taraba votes in an election because it could not differntiate between a man born before 1961 and after 1961?
- How does a sane govt use its own hands to divide its Nation. How do you look the elderly Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe in the eyes and call them non - citizens?
- When Senior advocates/Lawyers begin to take cue from a group which they had proscribed to be a terrorist group does call for serious concern, it makes belief that all other statements coming from same source may be accurate aswell.
you don't even know what you are saying.
you are trying to make sense, but the forces in your family would not allow that.
Was Obama born in USA?
Was Atiku Born in Nigeria?
In Nigeria, you cant be the president unless you are born in Nigeria. That is Citizenship by Birth and Not Referendum.
Why are ipob yoots so uneducated?
There was no such entity as Cameroon until 1956,how come Atiku who was in 1946 is been called a Cameroonian?
They have been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
Nnamdi Kanu have become the god of Afonjas because of Atiku.
Anyone that does not understand this bricklayer explanation must have a problem.
But again, what can i say, his followers will never accept. some will even tell you he was born in Lagos.
The constitution is very clear about this. This is the most clear case i have seen in recent times.
Atiku was born in 1946,there was no such entity or country called Cameroon until 1956,how come Atiku is now a Cameroonian,or should we just agree he was stateless until the independence of Cameroon?
Obi wud be sworn in if ATIKU is disqualified.
Oh Atiku is not a Nigerian by birth,Atiku was born in 1946 and there was no such entity or country called Cameroon until 1956,can we all assume he was totally stateless at birth?
This is Hugo Weaving. The popular Lord Of The Rings Actor.
He was born in Ibadan.
Read the Wikipedia article of his life.
Your logic hold no water,first it was Atiku is a Cameroonian,now your narrative has changed oh he is indeed a Nigerian but can't hold public office,are you such a confused and disturbed individual for real?
Both Atiku,Buhari and some present day Cameroonians were all born in the colony and protectorate Nigeria(1914-1954)until it was divided in 1954 into present day Nigeria and some parts of present day Cameroon and so therefore carry same status of place of birth.
How come Atiku is now conveniently a Cameroonian while Buhari is a Nigerian when they were all born in the same country as there was no such entity as Cameroon until 1954.
I hope I have made myself clear in the most elementary way for u to comprehend and if u still don't understand your case is indeed irredeemable.
idiotic pigs are trying all means to make sense but no way.
was Jamaica hospital ceded to US?- no.
when pig trump was born, was America ceded to Jamaica? no.
Nobody says @Atiku is not a Nigerian now. The cogent point about his eligibility to contest to be president of Nigeria is that he was not born a Nigerian i.e. He wasn't Nigerian at birth as required by the Constitution!
He became a Nigerian in 1961 after a referendum added his birthplace that was part of Cameroon to Nigeria at age 15, having been born in 1946.
The constitution is very clear on who can be president of Nigeria. The person has to be 100% a Nigerian at birth.
You cannot backdate the referendum of 1961 that made Atiku become a Nigerian to the date of his birth in 1946. However, all Nigerians born in that his birthplace since 1961 referendum are fully and wholly Nigerians who are qualified to be president of Nigeria, but not anyone of them born before the referendum.
Summarily; Atiku Abubakar is fully a Nigerian but not qualified to be president of the country.
His case is similar to what the Republicans wanted to use to nullify Obama's presidency, until he provided his birth certificate that showed he was born in Hawaii, on US soil. Unfortunately, Atiku wasn't born on Nigerian soil as at the day he was born.
For the brainless IPOB miscreants here, who have been going about doing copy and paste from God knows where about APC's reply to Athiefku Petition.
1. Atiku is a Citizen of Nigeria.
2. Nobody is contesting his Citizenship and that of his Jada People of Adamawa.
3. What are the ways one can become a citizen of Nigeria?
4) Out of above methods, it is only a person who becomes a CITIZEN By BIRTH Is Qualified To Contest for the Office Of The President.
5. Can Athiefku and His Jada Cameroon vote and be voted for? Yes because they are Citizens of Nigeria by Referendum.
6) Can they ( Atiku and Jada Brothers) contest and be voted for up to the post of the Vice Presidency? YES because the Constitution paved way for them?
7. The question is: Did Atiku fulfill the Constitutional requirements to contest for the post of the president?
8 . The Answer is what the APC wants the Appeal court to determine, because one of the requirements is that you MUST A Citizen By BIRTH To Qualify.
9. That you are citizen of Nigeria by other means such as Referendum, Naturalization, Registration etc can only take you the office of the Vice President and not that of the President according to the 1999 Constitution we operate.
What is hard here to understand?
Las las you all will capitulate and wash your hands off Atiku's issue after pushing him to his political perdition as you did Onnoghen. The legal battle just began. Let be vigilant spectators.
Fulani soldiers founded the Adamawa Emirate in the north in the 19th century, and various ethnic groups of the west and northwest established powerful chiefdoms and fondoms. Cameroon became a German colony in 1884 known as Kamerun.
So, educate me on the place of birth of Atiku Abubakar ( former VP of the Federal Republic of Nigeria).
Try to prove that he was born in Cameroon.
But when Nnamdi Kanu and PDP said, Buhari was from Sudan, Nigeria was not divided? Hypocrite!
You dey sick mentally, small.
If you give birth to your Child in Britain, provided one of the parents is a Nigerian, the Child is a Nigerian By birth.
That is why the constitution needs to be amended. Besides, one of the things that gives birth to a constitution or its amendment is known as experience. And it is good that some thing like this is brought into limelight. So for future purpose, there should be amendment. But for now, Na 1999 dey on ground ooo.
So can he be Cameroon president?
That is a fundamental human right issue of the United Nations which no Nigerian court will want to disobey.
Stop pretending that you dont ATIKU wud be declared winner by the Electoral tribunal.

Satanic Temple settles lawsuit with Netflix over 'Baphomet' goat-headed deity
Christian Today staff writer Thu 22 Nov 2018 11:21 GMT
The Satanic Temple has settled its copyright lawsuit against Netflix Inc and Warner Bros Entertainment over their alleged misuse of its goat-headed deity statue in the series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a Warner spokesman said on Wednesday.
The settlement was amicable, and resolves a November 8 lawsuit in which the Satanic Temple had sought at least $50 million of damages. Terms were not disclosed.
A one-ton, seven-foot bronze statue of Baphomet – a goat-headed winged deity that has been associated with satanism and the occult – is displayed by the Satanic Temple during its opening in Salem, Massachusetts, September 22, 2016.Reuters
Lawyers for the Satanic Temple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A Netflix spokesman referred requests for comment to Warner Bros, a unit of AT&T Inc.
The Satanic Temple, which is based in Salem, Massachusetts and also known as the United Federation of Churches LLC, describes itself as a promoter of benevolence and empathy among people rejecting tyrannical authority.
It complained that Sabrina misappropriated its statue Baphomet with Children in a manner implying that it stood for evil, and that the depiction hurt its reputation.
The Satanic Temple's founder, Lucien Greaves, said in a blog post that many people had supported its copyright claim. But he said: 'Surprisingly, to me, however, there were also a large number of people who flooded us with hate mail and armchair legal analysis.'
He said the organisation had been accused of trying to '"ruin" a show that "just tries to bring joy into the world".'
Greaves concluded: 'So ends one of the most overpublicized of copyright claims. Press can now stop pretending this was unique and momentous, or even interesting. So, too, hopefully ends the parade of stupidity from online amateur legal experts.'
The first 10 episodes of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina were released on October 26.
Netflix distributes and Warner Bros produces the series, which stars Kiernan Shipka as the teenage half-witch, half-human title character. The series is based on the Sabrina comic book series from Archie Comics.

Sweden stuns U.S. 3-0 in Olympics women's soccer opener
World No. 1 and Olympic favorite Americans had a 44-match unbeaten streak snapped
By ANNE M. PETERSON, AP Sports Writer

TOKYO — Sweden didn't have to bunker down on defense against the Americans this time.
Stina Blackstenius scored a pair of goals and the Swedes stunned the United States at the Olympics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday in the women's soccer tournament.
The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, were riding a 44-match unbeaten streak heading into the match. But Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team's nemesis of sorts in recent years. The Swedes bounced the Americans from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever, by making a defensive stand.
This April, Sweden played the United States to a 1-1 draw in Stockholm, which snapped a winning streak dating back to January 2019 when the Americans lost to France in the run-up to the World Cup. It was the U.S. team's only draw this year.
"Did we expect this result tonight? No," said U.S. forward Megan Rapinoe, who did not start but came on as a substitute in the 64th minute with the score 2-0. "It's frustrating, and it's frustrating that it's Sweden. They found a lot of space on us. I don't even know how many goals we have given up this whole year. I don't remember the last time we gave up a goal. So to give up three is not great."
Sweden's offense deserved all the credit. Blackstenius' header into the far corner off a cross from Sofia Jakobsson in the 26th minute gave the team a first-half lead.
The United States, which came out stale, had its best chance of the opening half in the final moments when Rose Lavelle's shot hit the post. Coach Vlatko Andonovski made changes for the second half, subbing in Carli Lloyd for Alex Morgan and Julie Ertz for Sam Mewis.
But Blackstenius scored again in the 54th minute, beating goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, as the Americans continued to struggle. Lina Hurtig added the final goal in the 72nd.
Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl acknowledged the win over the favorites was encouraging, but it's still just the beginning of the tournament. Ahead are group games against Australia and New Zealand.
"I know for a fact that you can go very far in a tournament even if you lose to the USA or whoever you play in the first game," Lindahl said. "So in the end I don't know how much it means, but for sure we showed the world and ourselves that we can play well against a team like the U.S. or any team."
The loss was the first for the United States under Andonovski, who took over when former coach Jill Ellis stepped down following the team's World Cup victory in France. Late in the match, Andonovski sat expressionless on the bench.
The Swedes were without Magda Eriksson because of injury. The team said she has been training, but because of the compact schedule of the tournament she was held out of the opener.
Tokyo is Sweden's seventh Olympics. After getting eliminated by Sweden on penalties in the quarterfinals five years ago, U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo famously called the Swedes cowards for their defensive tactics.
Sweden went on to win the silver medal, losing to Germany 2-1 in the final.
The United States has been to all seven Olympics that have included women's soccer, too, winning four Olympic gold medals, more than any other nation. The team is vying to become the first to win Olympic gold following a World Cup title.
In 2008, the United States also lost its first match, 2-0 to Norway, but went on to win the gold medal.
"I think ultimately as an athlete you go through ups and downs, and this is a hard result but it's the nature of a tough tournament," U.S. forward Christen Press said. "It wasn't going to be easy. We weren't going to breeze through six games no matter what. So here we are."
It was just the sixth time that the United States had lost by three or more goals.
Sweden now leads Group G heading into Saturday's game against Australia in Saitama, while the United States faces New Zealand at the same stadium. The top two teams in the group advance to the knockout round.
"It is what it is," Rapinoe said. "We got bopped, and we have two more games coming quick and fast. And now we know exactly what we need to do. We need to win these games and eventually get out of the group and go from there."

How to Do Holidays like a Boss!
Let me set the stage for two scenes.
Scene 1: The dinner table is laden with food. Mum's getting the roast out of the oven. She's yelling for someone to help. Dad has poured himself yet another whiskey. Sister is draped over the arm of the latest has-been and shouts at you to go help. You came alone and don't have anyone to entertain anyway. Brother laughs and tells a funny story about a childhood exploit involving you two and he was victor (of course). Funny to everyone except you, that is. Some dubious guest whose name you didn't quite catch is droning away about her job. Her bratty 6 year old is taking sly potshots at your ear with a sling toy. The decor is garish, the music is tinny, the wine cheap. You wish you could be anywhere but here. But would die of guilt for ditching the "family" on "(insert holiday here) Day"!
Be Kind to yourself - ask for help. Rope in kids, family, friends to participate, share or take over tasks, decorating, shopping, cooking, companionship or a safe place to hide from the bustle for a while.
Be Kind to yourself - stick to your usual routine as much as possible. It will give you a sense of normalcy. Instead of a workout at the gym, go for a before or an after dinner walk.
Be Kind to yourself - don't feel guilty for putting you first. Just say no to whatever makes you uncomfortable. Pretend to be a toddler. Have fun with it. Enjoy everyone else squirming for once. This is your holiday gift to yourself.
Be Kind to yourself - progress not perfection is what we are striving for.
Be Kind to yourself - safe conversation topics. Prepare a list of 3 topics you can talk about that have no emotional baggage. Change any conversation you do not want to talk about to the three on your list. Repeat if needed. You think you may look silly...who cares...everyone's talking gibberish anyway. This way you will not feel self-conscious and afterward go crazy dissecting conversations over again in your head.
Be Kind to yourself - shields-up for rudeness. Respond to rude people with a "hmm..interesting..." and then either promptly go back to point number 5 or excuse yourself and walk away murmuring something about hearing your name being called.
Be Kind to yourself - choose moderation in eating, drinking, relationships, etc. Overindulgence only makes the pain go away temporarily. It comes back with a vengeance, twice as powerful.
Be Kind to yourself - Stay off SOCIAL MEDIA. This needs no elaborating. Rethink this holiday spirit thing. It does not have to be special. It can just be another day(s) off work. This is the day to break out the video games even if you aren't into that kind of thing. Time passes like nobody's business and there's so much to choose from. You can play sports or race cars, focus on strategy, build a new character from scratch, fight anything, shoot deer, you name it - it is out there. There are web based gaming sites if you don't own high-tech gaming software. A newbie will die yes but you get another go each time. The walk-through and game chats are so intuitive in case you get stuck.
Be Kind to yourself - Be in the moment. Don't go thinking about the past. It is just that. Over. Ruining this moment that you have over what you cannot change or the future over which you have no control is waste of this moment. Be happy in what you choose to do now.
Be Kind to yourself - don't isolate.
If you have the money and the inclination, book a touring trip and go. It is an opportunity to meet like-minded people or just relax and enjoy a trip where someone has done all the planning for you.
If you are a homebody, and not in touch with family, few/no friends, new to the city, away from home for study/work - go volunteer. The elderly, children or homeless will be so much more grateful for your time and effort than most of the "party types". If actually getting out and volunteering is not your thing, there are virtual volunteering opportunities. Just google those words for a plethora of sites just waiting for volunteers. It will do wonders for your self-esteem too.
If volunteering doesn't work for you, shine the spot-light on yourself. Make an agenda for the day. Take yourself out to the movies or a show, take the trouble to cook for yourself. List what you would like to eat, drink, upbeat music you want to listen to. If you are not a cook, order a whole lotta Chinese food and decorate your own buffet table.
Think of people you can call who might also be on their own - family in managed care homes, friends who work on shifts, helplines for that equipment which did not work and you never had time to call :)).
Think of exciting things that you could do/tackle - ones you have been putting off all year; like writing that novel or cleaning out a corner of the room/closet to make more space for a meditation area/new clothes. Curl up by the fire with your favorite beverage and a movie from your childhood that always made you laugh. Reconnect with yourself.
This actually could be a great time to catch up on your sleep. Sleep till noon and take more shorter snooze breaks throughout the day(s). Hey - not only are you worth it but while everyone is hungover at work, you will be daisy fresh! Just don't let others in on your secret.
There are also support groups like Al-Anon, CODA, ADAA, etc or your local church who know that the holidays can be a tough time to get through and they take extra effort to make mentors/support available on phone or in-person at support centers. The help offered is guided by a coordinator and anonymous, non-judgmental and no personal information is required to be shared in order to participate. Don't forget to check the events section of your local rag.
Truly, once you decide to act rather than react to what life throws at you...the possibilities are endless.
Till the new year...be well!

Managing the Risk to Prevent Injury and Student Death
By: Dr. Edward Dragan
Email Dr. Dragan
Website: www.education-expert.com
When risk is managed, injury, student death, and resulting litigation are less likely to occur. All too frequently, it is only after a tragedy that officials look back and ask, "How could this have been avoided?" Risk management is a far-reaching topic, but when focused on the professional standard of care in educational and other child and youth-serving organizations, it comes down to protecting the safety of participants in the care and custody of a school or other organization.
Cases involving allegations of mismanagement, negligent supervision, failure to inspect equipment or premises, and other topics for which we provide forensic consultation and expert witness services are reviewed from the primary standard of care in the industry - protecting children from harm. This standard is accepted in the United States and Canada alike. An identified risk can unnecessarily place a child in harm's way if it is not managed to reduce the likelihood of injury or student death.
Child and youth-serving organizations, such as public and private schools, residential programs, camps, and daycare centers, have a responsibility to protect the safety of children who participate in their programs. Managing risk in these organizations means actively and regularly assessing existing risks and how they can be effectively avoided. It also requires the development of policies that define the risks and how the organization mitigates them through regular training of students, staff, and parents; considers foreseeable hazards, given the circumstances of the program; inspects equipment, facilities, and grounds; sets standards for child supervision; makes sure risks are communicated to administrators and to those in charge of supervising children; and most importantly, enforces policies on a consistent basis. When these elements are in place and effectively communicated and enforced, there is less possibility that the organization will be held liable for the injury or student death. Without these elements in place, a plaintiff will be able to argue that the risk was there but was ignored by the organization.
Managing Foreseeable Risks of Harm to Prevent Personal Injury or Student Death
The concept of risk management emerged in the mid-1970s in relation to physical education and sports, camping and adventure activities, and parks. The American Camping Association added an accreditation standard regarding a risk management plan in the 1980s. Schools and other organizations, particularly since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, recognize the potential for liability and are taking their responsibility to protect students from harm more seriously. However, the focus over the past five years has been mostly on the development of emergency-response plans when someone in or near the school poses a threat to student safety. These plans require that schools "lock down" the building in light of a threat - and in some circumstances, a school's quick response has deterred tragedy.
But many other dangers and hazards that are often overlooked can increase the likelihood of personal injury, student death and, consequently, litigation. Consider these real-life cases for which we have been engaged: A third grade child is killed while crossing the street in front of his school; pit bulls attack a high school student participating in a physical education class in a park across the street from the school; five high school boys drown when they take a boat onto a river at night during a leadership training program. In all of these examples, questions arose as to whether administrators considered the foreseeability of these incidents and whether they failed to meet the standard of care to reasonably protect children from harm.
In the case of the third grader who was killed while crossing the street, the school principal was aware that cars parked under "no parking" signs on that street. When a child runs out from between cars, as was the case here, neither the child nor the driver of a vehicle will likely see each other until it's too late. To add to the risk, the school did not provide crossing guards at the corners, and teachers let their students out unsupervised at the end of the day. After any risk is identified and assessed, the next step is to establish procedures to mitigate or eliminate the risk. The principal could have organized student dismissal differently, requiring teachers to escort their students out of the building and to the corner, where they could cross safely. When a child is injured or killed and the allegation is that the organization acted in a negligent way, the defendant typically reviews how the child was injured and identifies ways to avoid a similar occurrence in the future.
Similarly, when a school allowed the physical education teacher to use the city park across the street from the high school, it already knew that one of its teachers was seriously attacked by off-leash dogs on school grounds, and it was known that the park had a high crime rate. Classes were regularly held in an area that any reasonable administrator would consider dangerous, especially when classes were not monitored by someone from the school like a security office. One day, when an owner let his dogs off-leash, the dogs attacked one of the students, causing serious physical and emotional injury. This tragedy could have been averted if the school adequately assessed the risk and made an informed decision about allowing the teacher to regularly take her class to the park. Failure to adequately assess the risk of having students off school grounds, and in particular, in a known dangerous area, placed them in harm's way.
In any situation where children are in an unfamiliar setting, such as on a field trip, those in charge have a responsibility to review the situation, identify the risks, and mitigate those risks. In the example of five high school students who drowned, the boys snuck out of a cabin in the middle of the night and went to the riverbank. They ignored the dangerous current and prominent signs to stay off the water, then took unsecured boats onto the water. The students were under the supervision of their school chaperones at a camp that was responsible only to provide seminars and educational programs during the day. In this example, the questions revolved around who had the responsibility to assess risks and protect the students. Did the camp assess the risk of drowning in the river and did it warn invitees appropriately by posting signs? Did the school assess the risk of students leaving cabins unsupervised during the night and the foreseeability of injury? Did the 17 and 18-year-old students have a responsibility for their own safety?
The school in this example had a policy that required at least one adult chaperone to supervise each of the four cabins rented by the school. When such a policy is developed, there is a reason for it - a risk has been identified and a determination has been made that by acting in a certain way, such as providing a number of chaperones with specific duties, the risk will be minimized. In this case, when the students left the cabin there was only one chaperone present. The others had moved to another cabin with the other adults, leaving the students with the ability to sneak out. One does not have to identify the risks to realize that high school students who leave their cabin in the middle of the night unsupervised can get into mischief that can result in harm. The camp was aware of the risk of drowning in the river and posted signs to warn invitees about it. The students were part of a special program and were selected as leaders, and there was nothing in their individual records that would cause a reasonable school administrator to be concerned that they would not be able to heed "Do Not Enter the River" warning signs. Ultimately, in a case like this, there may be shared responsibility for student deaths. The point is that each organization must assess its duty to the students, invitees, and others involved, determine the risks of harm, and develop policies and procedures to manage the risks.
Risk Management and Care of Students with Disabilities
Risk management also applies to the supervision and program development of students with disabilities. Often, children with specific disabilities may act in ways that require the school to review their behavior and develop a behavior intervention plan, assign an assistant teacher to the classroom or to escort the child through the school or on class trips, or to provide counseling or social-skill development classes for the child. We consider the unique circumstances of each case, and we review and analyze standards established through written policies and procedures and through unwritten customs and practices of an organization. An organization that should have (by statute or regulation), or could have (by moral or professional standard) acted affirmatively but did not manage a risk that resulted in injury to a child, may be liable.
On the other hand, risks can never be completely eliminated. Often, even when schools and other organizations have adequately assessed risk, developed policies, rules, and, regulations to manage the risk, properly communicated them to employees and participants, and adequately enforced the rules, accidents and injuries still occurred and defendants may not have directly contributed to the condition that caused injury. This is especially true in cases where the participant acted so quickly that no reasonable supervisor of that person would have been able to stop the behavior before injury occurred. In the defense of such cases, the important thing is that the organization recognized the risk of harm, managed the risk effectively, developed policies and procedures to eliminate the risk, developed and implemented student programs and services such as individualized education programs, communicated with supervisors, and enforced its policies.
It's in the review and analysis of the details of a case where such questions are answered and an expert opinion can help to settle a lawsuit or provide information at trial for a verdict.

Defective Vertical Baler Causes Serious Crush Injury to Operator's Arm
By: Jeffrey Warren
I recently worked on an interesting case involving a box baler. An employee of a butcher shop put some empty cardboard boxes in a vertical box baler and pushed the control switch to compact the boxes. After the 30 by 60 inch platen weighing 851 pounds returned to its raised position, the employee reached into the open space above the bottom door on the baler and began to clear cardboard from the bale tie slots in the bottom of the raised platen. Suddenly, and without warning, the steel pin attaching the platen to the raised hydraulic cylinder rod failed. The heavy steel platen fell and crushed his arm which was outstretched over the baler door into the compaction space.

Six Dangerous Misconceptions About Crane Safety
By: D. Larry Dunville
Knowing how cranes should be used, and how they should not be used, is critical to crane safety. Overload, side pull, limit switches, secondary braking devices, using the reverse direction for speed control, and daily inspections are surrounded by myth and mystery in the workplace.
Forensic Clues: Lawnmower Accidents
By: John Ryan, BSME, PE
Lawnmowers cause over 50,000 emergency-room visits every year, based on NEISS data on consumer product injuries. These injuries are distributed evenly between ride-on and walk-behind style mowers. The necessary cutting action of a mower results in an inherent hazard, until technology is developed that can cut grass but not living tissue. While various safety advances over the years have reduced the amount of injuries, the extremely high number of accidents related to mowers that continue to occur show the need for further enhancement of product safety.


The annual Royal Air Forces Association Airshow at Shoreham Airport has become one of the best loved airshows in Southern England. Over its 22 year history it has raised in excess of £1.6 million for RAFA and grown into a relatively large event from very humble beginnings as a fete on the corner of the airfield. 2011 saw the event celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Royal Air Forces Search and Rescue Force. Shoreham itself was an important station during the Second World War for "Air Sea Rescue" operations over the English Channel with 277 Squadron become one of the most famous ASR units.
It would be impossible for me to review the Shoreham Airshow completely without some bias as Flightline UK currently oversees the event's website for which I'm very proud to be part of the airshow's committee. Instead I thought I would try and summarise the story of the airshow since the last event in 2010.
2010 was undoubtedly a difficult year. The weekend saw a very thin area of bad weather sit over the South Coast preventing a lot of flying both at Shoreham and at the Bournemouth Air Festival which truncated both event's flying displays. Add in an unfortunately landing accident at Shoreham involving the Swift glider and perhaps understandably all the volunteers felt slightly deflated.
A month after the show, the committee who are all volunteers held a wash up meeting allowing everyone to air their views on how things went and to decide whether to hold an event next year. Two major issues were identified from that meeting from the 2010 show. First off, it was the first event in the show's history where both days had been affected by such bad weather and there really was not a "plan" in case of such conditions. The second was the lack of information being passed on via the commentary and public address systems. With an overwhelming vote to hold a 2011 event, planning could official start for the next show.
A small core of the committee local to Shoreham run a small 'broom-cupboard" office in the Terminal Building throughout the year. This small room is the nerve centre of the operation where everything is organised from sponsorship to the orders for fencing, toilets and of course the all-important flying display acts! Monthly committee meetings start in December running right through to the show where anything and everything to do with the show is discussed. There are often disagreements aired, but this is only a natural part of the planning process which leads to a successful show.
Securing aircraft for the show is often a difficult process. Much of what appears at the show centres on the all-important Royal Air Force allocations. Bids have to be submitted in the preceding autumn to the show, and it is not until February or March that the airshow office receives official confirmation of just what the RAF Events team is willing to send to the show which gives an idea of how many more acts needs to be booked and how much budget there is for the more expensive civilian operated aircraft. .
Generally, the acts booked to appear at the show are a mixture of "wanted" items and those new acts who put in attractive proposals. Although by May the show organisers have a pretty good idea of the shape of the show, booking acts can run up to just days before the show as was the case this year. A number of aircraft including the Vulcan which were booked on became unavailable fairly late on so replacements had to be made. As the aircraft are firmed up, their information is passed on to Shoreham's flying display director Peter Eager who has the tough job of producing a workable flying display fitting in the displays around commitments they have with the Bournemouth Air Festival and Oxford's airshow in particular. As well as the main flying display items, extra aircraft are sought to fit the static park and the theme of the show. Thanks to various contacts, and a great deal of help from RAFA HQ displays for the SAR 70 theme including a static Chinook HC3 were secured for the show. Sadly a static Sea King was withdrawn late on due to a lack of available airframes.
It's not just aircraft that needs planning. The run-up to show keeps the office staff busy sorting the various traders, charities and other show facilities which is very time consuming. Online ticket sales are also a time consuming task processing the orders and dispatching them. The week before the show see approximately 40-50% of the total sales which run from early spring to the week before the show. Other members of the committee look after such diverse tasks as the promotional material for the show, emergency planning and the accommodation for the aircrews as well as more visible tasks such as the show entrance gates, air cadet help and the classic cars.
The busy week before the show sees the Press Launch coinciding with the start of the site build. Press Day was far from straightforward this year with some poor weather preventing any press or dispay flying, but Justyn Gorman and the GliderFX display team did put on an impressive static display for the local press and photo-opportunities. The day before the show is also a busy one with the traders and aircraft starting to arrive and the showground taking shape for the weekend's show.
So what about the actual show? Well it's a busy time for all the volunteers as anything can happen, and it usually does! The flying display was affected by the tragic events at Bournemouth Airport which claimed the life of Flt Lt Jon Egging as the airport was closed for a short period in the aftermath of the accident. That caused some very late changes to the running order for flying display director Peter Eager. Sunday's display was also affected with the loss of the Hawk solo from the display.
Well, what about the show in 2011? Well the last minute addition of the de Havilland Sea Vixen, Justyn Gorman's solo displays in the Decathlon and Extra 300L, the Gnat pair as well as the rare four-ship display from the Breitling Wingwalkers on Saturday were the clear highpoints!
The show's main theme of the 70h Anniversary of RAF Search and Rescue was represented by two different displays; Plane Sailing's Catalina and on Saturday only, a Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Sea King HAR3A from RAF Wattisham. While the Sea King was display, a RNLI inshore lifeboat was driven around along the crowd line to demonstrate how closely they two rescue services work together which was a nice touch.
Shoreham's Battle of Britain Scramble scanerio however seemed a little less inspiring this year, perhaps due to the fewest number of participating aircraft in the sequence since it was started in 2006. It is still a great concept but perhaps the sequence could be changed and perhaps shortened a little, particularly bearing mind the amount of other Spitfire and Hurricane displays from Peter Teichman and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight were included in the display.
Lots of the post-show feedback has pointed at the lack of jets. Sadly a number of jet displays were lost due to various reasons in the run up to the show including the Vampire, Strikemaster and Vulcan. However the North Weald based Gnat Pair did make it and put on an elegant display both mornings. Also very welcome was Jonathon Whaley with his stunning Hawker Hunter F58a Miss Demeanour that gave a very lively display.
As well as the Spitfires and Hurricanes, there were other warbirds too. Maurice Hammond and Dave Evans gave a superb display in the pair of Hardwick Warbirds P-51D Mustangs and even joined up with B-17G Flying Fortress Sally-B during Saturday's display. Much earlier air battles were brilliantly recreated by the Great War Display Team with a collection of seven replica aircraft including SE5a, Sopwith Triplane, Junkers CL1 and Fokker Triplane.
It was also a delight to see the Royal Navy Historic Flight's Fairey Swordfish back at Shoreham. The large torpedo bomber biplane looked superb in the air and on the ground in front of the art-deco terminal building throughout the weekend.
The aerobatic art was represented by a number of display teams. GliderFX, the Yakovlevs, Pitts Pair, the SWIP Team and the Blades all showed off great team work during their displays. Buy perhaps some of the most stunning team displays were those from the parachute teams. Saturday saw the Red Devils make an impressive entrance with some great canopy work. Sunday saw the RAF Falcons drop in with the RAFA Wings Appeal flag to mark the official start of the Wing Appeal 2011 at the show. After missing out last year due to the weather it was finally great to see this important fund raising appeal get underway at Shoreham.
Another hugely popular act with the Shoreham crowd was O'Brien's Flying Circus. Brendan's "understudy" Captain Boogaloo was great fun to watch with his crazy flying and attempts to land on a trailer on Shoreham's short runway.
The modern day Royal Air Force was well represented too. The Tutor and the Tucano put in superb displays which were only made better on the Saturday as they both operated from the Shoreham allowing the crowds to get a close up view of them on the ground. The Hawk display (only seen on the Saturday due to the grounding of Hawks on the Sunday) also drew applause from the crowd. On the ground, the only RAF aircraft on show this year w as a Boeing Chinook HC3 from RAF Odiham. Those who stayed late on Sunday afternoon were treated to a couple of flying appearances by the mighty twin-bladed helicopter as it took some local air cadets for a local flight in the early evening light.
All in all, it was a great two days at Shoreham though it would be nice to see some new and different displays at next year's show. I still think though that Shoreham's mix of flying and ground attractions makes for superb family day out at the picturesque Shoreham Airport with its stunning surroundings.

This Is Not Legal Advice
29 April 2017 on Legal, Trigger, Furry, Ethics
This is a (critical) response to a recent post by the renowned furry voyeur BoozyBarrister. Trigger warning: that post and this one discusses rape. Throughout, I am going to give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume he intended to opine in a useful and constructive way on a number of interesting case studies. Take this as advice on how to do that better, in the future.
IANAL
Many of us, furries or otherwise, have professional degrees. Every profession has a code of ethics—despite lawyers having a bad reputation for lacking one. When people comment on a legal issue, they disclaim "I am not a lawyer!" But if you are actually a lawyer, you'd rather say "this is not legal advice."
Jargon aside, the spirit of the ethical code among all professionals is: do not represent your profession or leverage your professional credentials if you are not practicing your profession. The contrapositive of this is: if you're going to point out that you are lawyer, what you say next had better be informed by that experience and representative of your professional opinion.
There's a common fallacy you're taught in law school: the argument from authority. It's really hard to avoid when you've spent a lot of time and money and experience learning a profession. You want to wave that thing around to get people to listen to you, whether it's appropriate or not. And make no mistake, Boozy beats you over the head with it in his post:
I'm also a fucking lawyer.
How many of you are lawyers?
We, as … lawyers … fucking failed you.
I got lawyer shit to do before I hit the road this evening.
Cool, I get it. It's a part of his identity just as much as being furry is a part of ours. But if we're being reminded of it so much, surely it's because it bears some relevance to what he's saying?
I love legal case studies and, to Boozy's credit, his first story with "Ruby" is a decent example of one. An unusual scenario, contextual to his furry audience, and his experience and knowledge as a lawyer is disseminated on how a DA might approach the case and the amount of discretion a judge has. Kudos!
Mob Justice
The train soon careens off the track with Boozy's second case study, apparently a warning against internet vigilantism. I'm not sure where to begin with this one—the lack of any specific legal experience being leveraged to form a unique perspective is a relatively minor fault compared to the rest. A wag of the finger for trying to browbeat the audience with his credentials here when he's offering nothing more than a naive (in the literal sense, not pejorative) opinion.
More striking is the irony of offering the obvious advice that "you are never getting the full story if you're only hearing from one side" in a case study where he got an e-mail from a single participant in the story and did no follow up with the other party. Not that it would have been appropriate to follow up with a rape victim, but for fucking real? His professional training should have had alarm bells ringing all over his brain that "THIS IS NOT ENOUGH INFO TO BLOG ABOUT" … but maybe the booze was talking.
And even more striking is his insistence that the system works for rape victims and that the only correct course of action is to involve the authorities. In his edgelord way, he reminds us:
Crimes get reported to the police, fucktards. Not Twitter.
Bitch please. I don't even need to debunk this bullshit because … in a crazy twist …
The System Doesn't Work!
… Boozy literally does it for me with his third case study!
Despite already having discussed someone allegedly getting raped based only on the accused's account, Boozy decides now is the time for a trigger warning. Why? Because we're about to read a direct account from a boy who was raped. Heavy stuff.
Again, it's difficult to pick a spot to begin. Is it the irony of Boozy lamenting that this was a "complete failure of our justice system to help him" right after insisting that the justice system is the only way to resolve rape in your community?
Is it his literal textbook fucking appeal to authority when he says "I've read a lot of victim statements. I believe this kid"? Didn't we just get a condescending lesson on never playing judge from single accounts? (Or is it the implicit I don't believe that potential rape victim above that I used as an example for why you can't believe single accounts?)
Is it his rambling monologue about how bad he feels that this happened at all, or his indictment of furries for not grasping such a basic concept that evidently even "sorority girls" know about? Are we supposed to believe sorority girls don't have unreported or unprosecutable rapes just like this one?
Look, at this point, the train isn't off the tracks:
Know Your Thesis
Whenever you embark on a discussion of a difficult and sensitive topic, it's important to know what you're trying to prove or disprove. There is a real cost to victims for having their trauma used as a bludgeon for no apparent purpose. Part of ethical professional behavior is weighing the benefit of what you're trying to do with the human cost of it.
Even if those humans pretend to be or even think they are animals.
Was Boozy ultimately trying to encourage rape victims to come forward with their stories and trust in the authorities to help them? He failed to make a convincing argument for that and even presented a counterexample for how that doesn't work. Was he trying to scare rapists into not committing the crime in the first place? No rapists were punished in any of these accounts. Was he trying to warn us that a community cannot police itself in the absence of a working justice system? If so … he's just wrong. But he also didn't provide any evidence of why he might be right.
I'm not sure what the point of Boozy's post was. I'm not sure who it helped to read or who learned something from reading it. It certainly had the sort of morbid rubbernecking appeal that an accident off the side of a highway has. I give him the benefit of the doubt that this was not his intent. But I have to ask, what on Earth was?

For Better For Worse, Rebuilding After The High Park Fire
KUNC | By Grace Hood
Published June 7, 2013 at 5:00 AM MDT
Grace Hood
KUNC
This week we've been looking at both the property and the people impacted by rebuilding following last June's High Park Fire. Mike and Sharon Guli were among the first evacuated when the fire broke out Saturday, June 9th.
The Guli's Paradise Park property is less than a mile from where a lightning strike touched off the High Park Fire. Six months ago they were taking time off from the clean up for the holidays.
Today, the burned rubble of their home has long been cleaned up. Much of the focus is on the land. Standing on the porch of their guesthouse, you can see a large meadow, ponds and at a certain point the hillside turns into black.
"It's been interesting to me because as we've observed the last year I figure if I ever write a book, my chapters will have to be color coded to go from the gray to the black to the brown," said Sharon.

Right now, the chapter they're in is "green." Along with the help of friends and volunteers the Gulis have seeded some areas with grass and cleared more than 2,500 trees from their property. But when it comes to remodeling their living quarters—the guest house they moved into months ago—decisions have come slower.
"This entire rebuild project about six weeks ago came to a halt," said Sharon. "I had realized—we both realized—the stress, the emotional toll of the fire."
Sharon Guli shows a space once used for business in their guesthouse.
The Gulis are rugged individualists who chose mountain living for a reason. Before the fire, they were using their guest house as a workspace for their two businesses. Since then, work and home life have seen shuffling priorities.
The other noticeable change to their property is a small building that Mike now uses as his workspace to make custom leather clothing with a historical flair.
For Sharon's side of the business—she's a seamstress and runs historical programs—they're now planning to build a separate studio. Rebuilding work and living spaces have made things complicated—resulting in many decisions that weren't part of their original plan.
"That's one of the processes that you go through," said Mike."Life is different. I've talked to people who went through Katrina. Everything now is referred to as 'pre-Katrina' and 'post- Katrina.' We are now post fire. What we have to do with it is change the way we view the world. It's not the same anymore."
Sharon's work studio has been higher on the list of priorities lately compared to their guesthouse remodel. And that gets at what's been particularly hard about rebuilding for them. In a sense they're rebuilding for two lives: work and home.
"It added a certain level of complexity to our decision making," said Sharon.
…including unexpected projects they never could have anticipated, like fixing their driveway.
"When we got the insurance money last fall and made a list of everywhere that the money would have to go, [we] never figured in we have to bring in how many loads of road base to repair our own driveway," she said.
Those unexpected expenses will likely continue—along with other curve balls they and other fire survivors in the area never could had anticipated. As Mike says, it's all part of living in a post High Park Fire world.

It's hard to believe that "The Master's Sun" was So Ji Sub's first comedy because his mannerisms and gestures were laugh-out-loud funny. He created a character that viewers fell in love with and won't soon forget. In fact, even the actor is having a hard time letting go of Joo Joong Won, his alter ego. He spent so much time getting into the character that it's hard to say goodbye.
Before taking the role he was not sure he could do comedy, so he was very serious about his preparations. He last played the dual roles of police detective/hacker Kim Woo Hyun and Park Gi Young in "Phantom."
"I worried about how well I would do in a comedy and how others would see my performance," said So of the work that went into creating his character. "I considered many different things and did my research. Everything from my hand movements to my walk was carefully planned."
And it was So Ji Sub's variety of hand gestures that helped the character come alive, imprinting him on viewers' memories. Fans not only related to his out of touch hotel CEO in "The Master's Sun," they cheered on his awkward interactions with Tae Gong Sil, the woman who needed to touch him.
"I think I grew as an actor as a result of trying this role," said So. He never realized he had a comical side before.
He also credits others with the series' success. Early on in the filming, he praised co-star Gong Hyo Jin, who played Tae Gong Sil, as being the best comedic actress in the business. He said that she bought out the best in him and helped him be a better actor. And in outtakes of the filming, you could see that her facial expressions made him laugh so hard they more than once had to stop shooting.
He also had kind words to say about the cast, saying he was thankful to have worked with the best production team and the best actors. He presented each staff member with a thank-you gift of shoes and personally expressed his gratitude for their hard work.
"I hope the viewers won't forget Joo Joong Won too quickly," he said.
There's not much chance of that.
But if you're already missing So Ji Sub in "The Master's Sun," you can check out some of his previous dramas, including "Phantom," "What Happened in Bali," and "Cain and Abel."
