It's been a few weeks since I last posted. Recently I got to journey back to my beloved old home of Santa Barbara to share with the graduating International Students. Without spending too much time going over other things, I just wanted to flesh to paper my sharing from that graduation retreat because I feel as though it is very pertinent to many different people in different places of their lives.
Before I proceed, I want to give some kudos/credit to a few people for teaching/helping me to flesh out these thoughts over the past 6 months in random books, talks, blogs and conversations: Jeff Louie, CJ Mahaney, David Platt, Kevin DeYoung, Jonathan Acuff, … and those in my life that have continued to participate in my life experience "marinade".
I was asked to share some parting advice to the graduating international students that I have had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with and getting to see them go from strangers, to friends, and now for many, to family as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. I hope you as a reader would set aside time to reflect on my words and that it may be a blessing to you for the rest of your life. This has helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life recently whether it is heartbreak, discouragement, loneliness, or doubts about one's life. My one word of advice that has come over the past few years of reflection and marinade of life is the absolute importance to daily and as often as necessary: preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to yourself.
It is important to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to oneself because it helps to have a healthy reset/reorientation/correction of one's personal perspective of life, and also because it has an amazing ability to free you (the reader) from the world's bindings of sin, guilt, and shame as you live unfettered to flesh out God's redemptive purpose in your life and in the lives of others.
This mainly arises from many conversations that I have had over the past few months with people in relationships, trying to figure out which school/universities to attend, to decisions about career, and even about marriage. The common fear or issue that arises during these conversations is the fear of making the wrong choice. What if I make the wrong choice… what is the right choice? This stems from a concern about the irreversibility of life… and that because you only get one chance or shot at life… we want to make it right. We don't want to make the wrong choices. This leads us to a LOT of worry, fear and guilt.
We feel these things because of a few competing factors: we do not want to let God down, we do not want to let our parents down, we don't want to let ourselves down. What this does s this leads us to a guilt and fear in our decision making process. Note, now some guilt is healthy… because if it's due to sin… then there is a need to repent and to come to God in those times to reconcile and reflect on the Good News of Jesus Christ. But more often than not, guilt is the steady drumbeat of feeling as though our actions and decisions are NOT good enough… and this slowly accumulates and drags us down.
But life is not meant to be lived in this binding chain, or weight of guilt, because it is meant to be lived in the freedom that comes through Jesus Christ and what He has accomplished. This is why the Gospel of Jesus Christ is so essential! This is why we need to daily and as often as we can reflect on the Gospel that serves as a lighthouse shining a beacon of truth/light in the midst of our dark, stormy sea'd lives.
The first thing we acknowledge in our acceptance of the Gospel is that God is always in control. God transcends circumstance. We need to have a better understanding of the will of God… to remember that nothing we do is going to be a surprise to Him. Nothing is above His knowledge, because He knows all. Now I'm not discounting the fact that God may reveal an answer through prayer, confirmations, or even the Word, but sometimes we find that God does not give us a discernable answer… so what do we do? Maybe this lack of response scares or possibly creates even more doubt/guilt in our lives.
The point is that maybe you are going to make mistakes… you may make decisions that may lead to hardships, and perhaps you may even choose the less "popular" or "wise" choice because of whatever reasons.
This is why you need to reflect on the Gospel daily… its to consider the freedom that comes by the blood of Jesus Christ. You are NEVER to feel that you have made a decision that can not be redeemed. He is always able to redeem. Whether you pick the right/wrong school/job, bf/gf, or husband/wife, everything is redeemable in Jesus Christ. It is amazing that whether good or bad, God's grace through Jesus Christ will be manifested. If bad, maybe you'll get he privilege to see more of God's work at hand. You are free to make the wrong choice (NOTE: I'm not talking about drug dealer vs. teacher decisions that can be easily clarified in reflection to the Word of God and the laws of our gov't).
You are free to make the wrong choice because Christ is so much bigger than that! You grow in faith, and you apply your faith in the grace of God to the most difficult circumstances and situations. In my own life as I have moved up to the Bay… there have been times of great duress in my heart as I struggle with the choice of walking away from everything I was happy with and comfortable with to pursue God… it has been a lonely journey in some parts, but now I am starting to notice how God has led and helped me through this whole process. Marriage, work, ministry, relationships, school, and life… everything is redeemable in Jesus Christ! We are free to make choices.
The Gospel is NOT SIMPLY about salvation… and it does not just stop there, but it is the controlling theme and should encompass every aspect of our lives! Victory has been won, Christ will continue to intercede for you and I… even beyond the circumstances or the wrong choices. If you are free, you can live radically in Christ.
Life is not lived in guilt, or burden of not doing enough, or being good enough. As David Platt writes: "True change can NOT be built on guilt, but true radical life change is through trust in Jesus Christ and the Gospel." Now I'm not talking about going to live a life of legalism, but one of love and grace. Freedom from low level of guilt… driven by grace! It is in that freedom to make a choice, whether to do more or you do less… it is a privilege and a blessing to participate in God's redemptive plan! If you do NOT, you are still deeply loved by God! It is in this freedom that you can live radically by the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit to do amazing things.
You are liberated to live a life of freedom to truly do His Work, not burdened by guilt… and to do so great or not great. There is no guilt or doubt about being loved… in whatever context! So let me write again, that it is important to reflect on the Gospel because what you realize is that you have great power that is not simply reliant upon you, but upon and through the work of God through the Holy Spirit.
It is in ending that I again return to what I shared in the beginning that it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ… and that it does not simply stop at your point of accepting Christ into your life. It is very important that you reflect on it daily and throughout your life. Today's sharing I hope does not simply leave you feeling sad but liberated and free to be joyful/passionate/excited in the Lord! My hope is that you will embrace the grace and freedom in Christ and live life unburdened by guilt… and having to try so hard to be good enough in all your decisions… in whatever you do.
May you live with the absolute unbendable truth, and the flexible grace that comes only through Jesus Christ in whatever context you may find yourself in. May you constantly reflect upon God's Word, seeking intimacy in prayer with Him, and seeing His constant physical example through the company and fellowship of the community family of His saints. May you continue to live a life always in reflection of the person and work of Jesus Christ… sharing the Gospel to yourself… and to others.
God is so good. At the end of such a crazy day, when I was tired and confused and only dragged my body to Bible study out of habit than anything else, He hits me with one of those knife-in-heart-cutting-out-the-sin-exactly-where-it-is sermons, you know, the ones where you are sitting in your seat, cringing at how ridiculously precisely God's word applies to your life.
A few weeks ago, I received a new student in one of my classes. I noticed that in his notebook, he was doodling the name of a notoriously violent gang. Since then, I've been thinking and praying about how to address this.
Today, I went into my classroom to pick up some teaching material, and I saw him there, even though that wasn't his class during that period. Instead of insisting that he go back to his class, I decided to just let it slide, figuring that this was a good opportunity to talk to him. Our conversation confirmed a lot of my suspicions, but there wasn't very much I could do or say to help him at that point. All I could do was ask him to think about what he wants for his future, and which actions now would help him get there… blah blah blah. Still, I felt like he was being pretty transparent with me and well, trusted me, probably to the best that a kid in his situation could trust a random teacher.
After we talked, I went to the Dean to ask if the school had any information about why he transferred or anything else on his official record. When the Dean saw my student's attendance record, though, he was like, "Ok, we need to talk to him right now and do an intervention." He proceeded to check his schedule and he said, "He should be in Biology now so let's go get him." As you can imagine, I was just standing there in a state of semi-panic. I felt dishonest letting the Dean try to track him down when I knew exactly where he was, but I also felt like I would be betraying my student's trust by telling the Dean that I knew exactly where he was because we just talked. Also, selfishly, I didn't want to get myself in trouble by admitting that I had just essentially condoned a student in breaking school rules.
I was completely flustered and kicking myself for getting in this mess. I walked up and down the hallways, checking the room and then the Dean's office, just waiting to see the situation blow up in my face. But (praise God!) the security for whatever reason did not go get him. Even though the worst was over, I was still bummed about losing my student's trust so quickly after gaining it.
All day, I kept playing over the events of the morning in my mind, thinking about how I could have worded things differently here or not done something there to avert the drama. But tonight, while listening to the sermon, it hit me. The problem wasn't with the circumstances, but with me. As much as I might want to appeal to my "good intentions", I can pinpoint this whole mess back to one small breakdown in my integrity. This might sound silly, but really, what I should have done was enforced school policy and asked the student to go back to his class. I know, not very revolutionary, right? But think about it. That was really the cause of my dilemma when I stood before the Dean. I knew where the student was, and it wasn't where he should have been. That's when I realized that no matter what I did, I would have to break faith with someone, either the administration or the student. I tried my best to walk the line, but in the end, I was not completely honest with either. My student had every right to be mad with me. By talking to him then, I implicitly conveyed that I was okay with the fact that he was out of class. Then when I came back and said, "oh, the Dean wants to talk to you about ditching class", how could it not seem like I set him up to get in trouble?
I am so ashamed just thinking about how I could say to my student, "No, I won't lie to the administration for you", when my actions had already conveyed such hypocrisy and inconsistency of character. There I was, condemning law-breaking, while breaking rules myself. I am even more disgusted thinking about how I had told the student I was a Christian, only moments later to completely disgrace the name of Christ.
Later that afternoon, I read Psalm 51, and I was struck by verse 13, "Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You." I thought, "Yes, Lord! That is exactly what I desire, for those who have rejected You, who are rebellious towards You, to repent and return!" But what precedes this verse? What are the conditions for this to happen? Is it not David's plea to "create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me"? Is that not the only way one wretched transgressor can bring hope to another?
1) living a life of integrity gives confidence.
2) living a life of integrity gives comfort.
3) living a life of integrity gives clarity.
All day, I was unsure, troubled, and confused about all the circumstances around me. But the cause was really a lack of integrity within me. Having realized that now, and repented and enjoyed His grace, I feel so much more grounded and at peace. I am still praying for my student. I have no idea what will happen next week. I don't know if he will trust me again, but that's okay. My main goal is no longer for him to trust me, but for myself to simply be trustworthy.
I don't know about you, but Jesus is talking to me right there. So often do I look at other Christians and tell myself I could never do that. Did you know that more than 2.5 million people have accepted through Billy Graham's crusades? The number is so massive, it does not even hit me. I am just numb to it. Oh, he's just Billy Graham, I could never be like him. Right? Oh, he's has a gift of speaking and a talent that God did not give to me. So often I look at others and and automatically cap a limit to what God can do through me. Oh, him, he's really holy, I mean look at him. He prays so loud and fervently, he lifts his hands while worshiping. He's so musically talented. Oh man, he's so blessed. I hear that phrase a lot. People say it about those who can sing well, dance well, speak well, study well, implying that that person is somehow more blessed than they are. Sure everyone has different gifts, but when I see people like C.S. Lewis, R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, Francis Chan, Jim Cymbala, or any of those Christian giants, my first response is wow, God has really blessed their ministries. We, or at least I, often times miss out on the fact that it was not because of any inherent gift that God has bestowed on them that makes then any better than us. It's that they heard the word of God and kept it.
Going back to the passage, the woman in the crowd spoke out. The bible said she "raised her voice" [ESV]–in NIV, it says she "called out." Basically it was loud. She says calls Jesus' mother blessed, implying that God has not blessed her in the same manner. Perhaps she had a bad experience with her son or daughter. Perhaps he or she was very rebellious or very trendy. I don't know; the bible does not tell us. It does tell us, however, Jesus' response to the woman.
Wow. What does this mean? I believe Jesus is rebuking the woman and saying to her, you can be just as blessed so long as you hear my words and do them! It does not matter that Mary's womb bore Jesus. That does not make her great! What makes her great is when the archangel Gabriel comes down, tells her that she will be with child, and Mary treasures these things deep in her heart. And Joseph! He finds out Mary is pregnant, baby ain't his, he has in mind to divorce her quietly, but when the messenger from God tells him not to, he obeys! That is what makes people great: obedience. Loving God is obedience, not sacrifice. Once again, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.


The size, color and style are all absolutely timeless and divine. This bag's white color detailed with a neat brown stitch running down the middle and along the handles, makes this purse easy to dress up or dress down. It's the perfect size for a working girl or even a student with space to carry all of her essentials: wallet, lipstick, cell phone, mirror, etc. without squeezing them all into a super small clutch and without the excess material of a tote or hobo. Perfectly lovely!
This first outfit is a party/date outfit: a simple peach dress that's flirty and fun that can be, like the Tod's purse, dressed up or dressed down. Add a nice dramatic hat for a garden party or wear a shawl for a romantic spring date.
Thanks for coming and thanks to Reebonz for this opportunity!
really love your outfits ! did u take these pictures in your house ? check out my entry too ! all the best !

This week, Sarah Koenig hosts, as we tackle the thing we all hate to love: Gossip. That's right; we've got rumor, we've got innuendo, and we've got a story of gossipers gone pro. Sarah even makes a compelling case that in some places, gossip could very well be saving lives. But you didn't hear it from us.
Senior producer Julie Snyder and her husband Jeff talk to guest host Sarah Koenig about gossip that takes place—where else?—in a beauty salon. (8 minutes)
In Malawi, in southeast Africa, not gossiping can be worse than gossiping. Sarah interviews a young Malawian woman named Hazel Namandingo, who explains that because so many people have HIV and AIDS in Malawi, they often rely on gossip to figure out who's safe to date or marry. It turns out this kind of gossip is the basis for a huge research project about AIDS in Malawi. For 10 years, a sociologist named Susan Watkins has been collecting journals filled with gossip about AIDS. Watkins hired local people to write the journals—to just listen to what people were saying in their communities about the virus, and then write it down. What Watkins learned from reading them bucked much of the conventional wisdom about how rural Africans were dealing with the epidemic. (Plus, they're really entertaining.)
There's a U Penn website that explains the Malawi Journals Project. And an NGO in Malawi called Invest in Knowledge has catalogued the journals. (30 minutes)
"People Gonna Talk" by James Hunter
Chicago writer Rebecca Makkai bring us the story of a reality television producer attempting to gossip love into existence—and just how complicated that gets. This fiction story originally appeared in the journal Crazyhorse. Rebecca is the author of the novel The Borrower, and "The November Story" is part of her collection-in-progress Music for Wartime.

Hooray for another high-profile UK government website based on an open source content management system: the new National Strategies website from DCSF, built on Drupal. It's big, bright, bold, and once you've registered – a remarkably painless process for a government site, without any apparent checks on your membership of the target audience – it offers significant social functionality: commenting on articles, bookmarking pages to your own personal homepages, group discussion, page rating, sending links to Delicious and the like. Nothing exceptional for a Drupal site, perhaps, but pretty impressive for HMG.
To paper over the cracks, a temporary signposting website was launched at www.schoolsweb.gov.uk, labelled 'Schoolsweb Locate' – but even that has been taken away now, replaced by a slightly clumsy redirect to the long-established 'Standards Site'.
On this evidence, one would have to assume that Schoolsweb, as initially conceived at least, is dead. In its place, we have a feature-rich online community built on open-source tools, and making use of pre-existing functionality – either in its core platform, or via plugins. My understanding is that the Drupal site came together in a matter of months, and seems to offer most (if not all) the functionality envisaged for Schoolsweb.
Somewhere in there lies a great case study just waiting to be written.
Fantastic to see another UK gov site launching on an extensible, flexible OSS platform rather than a big commercial CMS.
So what's the tally now Simon? Perhaps we need a delicious powered case study list like Steph has made for social media stuff – or could add them to that with an OSCMS tag.
Certainly I've started adding all my WordPress-based stuff into Steph's catalogue. Of course, open source doesn't necessarily equal '2.0'; but the reality is, when all the 2.0 functionality is laid out in front of you, chances are you'll use it. Which is exactly how this site is what it is.
But in these cash-strapped times, I'm pretty certain that any wholesale migration onto Stellant or some such is long since consigned to history, which is good news. We don't need that sort of expenditure.
Does anyone know who built it?

Workshop -The Birth of Stone People
When people arrived they were given notes of what we know so far about the world of the play. The intention was to go deeper into what we know rather than progress into any narrative. This led to a discussion. The evening was billed as movement, mime though I also brought some masks I've recently made to look like stone, which is where we began, looking at masks emerging from the rocks. The responses to the stone masks were emotionally compelling, as they pulled themselves out of the rock. They held the attention, even though I asked them to do very little. They moved slowly, I asked them to move with the tension of clay. They became aware of each other and formed into groups or families. One became isolated. They then became aware of the audience. The experience for the audience and the masks as they confronted each other was one of curiosity, and empathy. The masks were cautious but not over concerned. We explored how children might react.
We also looked at stone children wearing masks on the knee. The audience was more charmed and felt no threat from the stone children.
We then had groups creating what I call Problem Pictures. We molded the people in the groups into a living picture. The first resembled a Mother pulling her baby from the ground. We asked them questions while they were frozen in these shapes and then had a conversation with them in role. The group was a mother, husband and sister. It was their first child. The husband had several wives. This was his first child with this wife. The wife was happy, the sister was happy for her.
The second picture was a woman digging for her child and a group pushing goading her on. One who I assumed was the husband ordered her to dig. The wife was desperate, frantic in her digging. She split the child and abandoned it. She was pushed to dig deeper, She got more distressed she couldn't find a child. This was followed again by the group who had been in the sculpture in conversation with the workshop audience.
WHAT WE DISCOVERED
The Stone People - Birth
NB. The Stone people being born from the earth is based on an Inuit myth
This has led us to think: Stone people are born as stone and over time become flesh. Theatrically that's full mask to half masks, to forehead and nose or chin masks. The stone people have to go to 'birthing places' (areas of exposed rock) to find their children. Stone people can be born in rivers and oceans when they will reawaken as water creatures. Sometimes they will be dug out trees that grow out of the rocks. Toad Rock is a sacred 'birth place'.
Women are obliged to dig for babies, "they're waiting for us". Their mothers are destined to find them; they know their own baby. Families might consult 'Finders' who sense where the mother should dig for her child; children and parents are destined to find each other. When they Stone people die they become stone and return to the earth retaining their knowledge and memory of past lives.
When the woman digs for a baby she might accidentally split it so she then has to give it back where it reforms over several years. Babies don't want to go back to the earth as they remember "the long wait".
When rocks return or reawaken after the long wait they will have changed form, sparrows, toad, handsome men. They may even be reawakened at different ages. The earth then is imbued with intelligence, knowledge and wisdom far greater than our own.
Stone People - Parents Men's role is to collect insects, earth, and snakes to feed their families; they look after the insides of their children, while women look after their outsides. Conversely women look after the insides of homes while men look after the outsides.
Stone People's Warning. The stones have come back to warn us about climate change/fracking. We don't know what we take from the earth. Other cultures show gratitude and kindness towards nature/environment.
NB: Reference was made to the film Princess Mononoke from the Japanese Ghibli Studios about respecting the environment
The Causes of the Eternal Wait -Some disaster in the past has caused the Rocks to be frozen for thousands of years, some in the process of being born. We don't as yet know what event caused it. Potential suspects are
The Fossil Hunter
The Fossil Hunter - One of the Stone people's spiritual leaders was cracked open by a geologist or fossil hunter. Many of the leaders followers wear a mallet round their necks in memory of him. Among the recorded Victorian names of rocks is The Bloodstain, known to other sources as the Bleeding Rock. It is generally understood as a spot where dripping water left an iron stain, but no site fitting this description can be pointed out today. It needs to be found. It could mark the place where the stone people\s spiritual leader was split.
The Toad - The lost Ritual The Toad was present at the time of creation shaped by the ice man but that story has not yet been fully discovered never mind told. The Toad is an important symbol to the Stone People. We think there was a long lost ritual when they paid honour to the toad, in a manner similar to the present day well dressers of Derbyshire. The ritual would have marked their gratitude for water and the natural world.
If we were to revive the ritual it may be a way to reawaken the stone people to tell us their stories
Viv said there was a well in Eales Terrace under her house and her neighbors. Discussed significance of frogs in relation to the health of the planet, ecological issues, conservation and Acid rain eroding stone.

I really enjoyed last night and love the way that the play is evolving. It is so rich in ideas.
Needless to say my imagination ran riot over night: the ideas are not a direct reflection on what was discussed last night, but more a development of the world of the play triggered by what people discussed.The earth is full of knowledge and information but it is not sentient.
> The Oracle could be a portal to this knowledge and so are the unborn children of the Stone People.
> As the children develop/gestate in the earth/womb they assimilate the earth's knowledge.
> For humans this knowledge would be seen as the geological strata, the roots of plants, the DNA of life forms, fossils etc.
> The longer a Stone Child gestates the more knowledge it assimilates but the deeper it will slip into the earth. Digging deep for the child is not to do with gender but to do with seeking lost knowledge.
> When a Stone Child is born, although it has the knowledge of the earth, it has no language and has not developed the skills to process the knowledge. As it matures it acquires these skills and there will come a time which is optimum for when its language and processing skills are developed enough to share the knowledge. All children have a 'coming of age' ceremony when they reach this stage. Thereafter the earth's knowledge in the child begins to fade but the Stone People acquire new knowledge from their environment.
> The Stone People have no written language or form of record keeping and for their survival it is necessary for them to return to the earth and to take with them the new knowledge which will be passed onto the next generation by the earth along with the ancient knowledge. Music is their only form of record keeping and like 'Folk Music' it is carried down the generations and is constantly evolving.
> Humans are a threat to the Stone People. Humans take information from the earth and they do not return it. Sometimes they destroy it by moving earth, tunnelling, quarrying, mining etc and of course 'Fossil Hunting"

I very much enjoyed the workshop on Tuesday at The Rusthall, Jon, and was inspired to write the two enclosed poems, so I thought I would send them to you. I won't be at all offended if you don't like them.
DIGGING IS OBLIGATORY	Sonia Lawrence
Every way we went we met women digging
hands and flat stones scrabbling, scrabbling,
some with less vigour but all shared a purpose.
The digging was alarming, almost unbearable.
We averted our eyes but didn't move on.
'Digging's a duty' the women said, 'we can't help it,
the fox, the badger, the weasel and rabbit
they all do it and so should you.'
But when they looked up and saw who we were
They quickly changed their tune.
We asked the women,
'Why do you dig for so long so often?
Why don't the men dig?'
Exasperation showed in their eyes
'These fleshlings', they said 'know nothing at all.
'We are finding our children who wait below ground,
they wait and wait until they are found.'
'How do you know your child from another's?'
'Do you mean you don't easily recognise yours?
Any mother worth honouring knows her own child.'
All at once there was no more digging
they all stood up and eased their backs
as one woman raised a compact bundle
revealing her new born baby.
'Is it a boy or is it a girl?'
The women raised eyebrows in disbelief.
How stupid they think we are, we thought.
The mother spoke softly, 'Of course it's a girl,'
she said with delight
'I didn't dig deep enough to draw up my son.'
THE STONE PEOPLE	Sonia Lawrence
We are the Stone People we live in the rocks.
Life was simple here before you came.
Toad ensured the water was clean and the air pure.
We could touch the stars,
the almanac of life's activities,
their movement describing the turning year.
the Milky Way, a dazzling arc,
far more resplendent than rainbows,
only the Moon now emblazons the night sky,
such majesty will not reveal itself again
unless you deliver us from pollution,
global warming and acid rain.
Karen Gardner
Dialogue between three rocks stuck in transition:
"Those two legged clothed ones were fine, leaving us alone, finding us perfectly useless to them... other that sheltering under our overhangs until just five, or was it six? millenniums ago. They's when they found your sheered off fallen off behind on their path and got the idea to cut us up into pieces."
"Wait a century! Are you suggesting that all this is because I was falling apart? I couldn't help it if a flying creature blown in from the West wind dropped an unusual seed between us, grew into a tree with roots that insisted themselves into my veins. Of course I'd crack up! And where were you, leaving such a gap between us for this to happen?"
"Never mind you two, that's not going to help us out with the state we're in now. We have to warn the fleshlings and in the meantime they're forgetting to tap into the knowledge source. What are they doing up there? It's been only a few decades, but what are they up to?"
Alison MacKenzie
Such an interesting music/sounds workshop with Jon and David on Sunday. Thank you.
And then yesterday quite by chance I came across this poem in a First World War Poetry anthology which coincidentally arrived by post Monday morning which I thought I'd share.
Men Fade Like Rocks W.J. Turner
Rock-like the souls of men
Fade, fade in time.
Falls on worn surfaces,
Slow chime on chime,
Sense, like a murmuring dew,
Soft sculpturing rain,
Or the wind that blows hollowing
In every lane.
Smooth as the stones that lie
Dimmed, water-worn,
Worn of the night and day,
In sense forlorn,
Fade, fade in time;
Smoother than river-rain
Falls chime on chime.
[W.J. Turner (1889-1946) came to England from Australia in 1906 and served in the Royal Garrison Artillery 1916-1918. He was music critic of the New Statesman 1916-1940, drama critic of the London Mercury 1919-1923, literary editor of the Daily Herald (succeeded Siegfried Sassoon in the post in 1920), and literary editor of The Spectator 1942-1946]
the content away lacking as it does the gravitas of Inuit ledgends and Creation myths.It is meant to be lighthearted and God knows we could do with some humour at the moment!.
The Giant slowly awoke,a bird had been pecking the lobe of his right ear for some time and flakes of stone dandruff were scattered around his head.Somehow he seemed to have become seperated from the rest of his body and turned to stone.He could see one of his arms embracing a tree root and what looked very like his nose under a bush.
He was and had become petrified,if only he had his hands he could attempt to piece himself together,he vaguely recalled an argument with a local Wizard,"John of the wood"a flash and then nothing until the bird tapped him back to life.As the light increased he could see that he was surrounded by the body parts of other Giants who had plainly lain there for some time.Snot like Lichen trailed from a Nostril over there and closer he could see an Ear sprouting Ivy.
Some way away he could make out a large and fully formed Toad frozen in time like himself but garlended with flowers and free of vegitation.He suspected that the little people who lived nearby in rows of cottages and who had often complained that his farts blew the slates off their roofs,venerated this Toad.Perhaps there was hope for him?,the Wizard bearing wood might relent and restore him otherwise he would join the cast of the Legend of the Rocks.

Again, there are too many artists I like to have one favourite, so I've just picked a song that I like a lot, from a band that I like a lot.
I got introduced to this danish powerhouse by my classmate in year 13 who would later go on to become dux of my year, and who oddly enough looks a bit like the lead singer. Anyway, he brought in a copy of Mew's And The Glass-Handed Kites, we listened to the whole thing through once during a study period, and immediately after school I went to the nearest CD shop that stocked the album and bought it. This is from the latest album Mew made, entitled No more stories are told today. I'm sorry, they washed away. No more stories, the world is grey. I'm tired, let's wash away. Easily the longest album title I have in my library, and one of the albums that my wife and I listened to on our honeymoon last year.
In the video the operator is playing the notes himself, but there is an option to let the iPhone do all the work. If you need an audio Soporiphic, or if you like the work of Brian Eno, check out this, and it's two companion apps, Air and Trope on the App Store.
There is really only one song I can dance to, and one song that I have ever really danced to. I'm talking about the medley I made for our wedding last year.
It consisted of The Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody, MGMT's Electric Feel (the Justice remix) and, from My Fair Lady, Audrey Hepburn singing I Could Have Danced All Night. Anybody who was at our wedding reception knows how well it went. And hot well it went was…really quite good actually. I've never had that kind of applause for dancing before.
30 Day Song Challenge mega-update!
Ok, so I missed two days of the 30 Day Song Challenge, so I'm going to include them in today's post.
This song reminds me of several places. The Mackenzie basin where I grew up, Driving into the small town of Geraldine at 5pm on Good Friday 2009, cruising through the Victoria countryside with my wife, sister and mother-in law in their 2-door Daewoo, and heading off into the great blue beyond southwest of Cromwell with my father in-law's 4WD L300 van for a drive trough the Nevis Valley.
My song of choice reminds me of my grandfather's funeral. Not that it's an especially depressing song in my mind, I'm jut always going to link it with that time, because that's about when I first heard it. My grandad was the first of my 'extended' family to die, honestly I'm blessed to have made it 22 years without having to go to a family funeral. I still have one living grandfather, and oddly enough, as I type this, he's in the next room attending a lecture on neuroscience, the subject he used to teach at the Otago MedSchool.
Day 8: A song to which you know all the words.
Enjoy! I'll try to be more punctual tomorrow.
I met a friend of a friend once who was always reminded of me by this song, so as a recipriocation, it's always reminded me of her. It's a tune by the Cars, covered by Strawpeople, a New Zealand electronic duo who met working at Auckland's bFM. Any kiwis following my posts should recognise this cover from about 11 years ago. I definitely remember lying on my bed in my room at night listening to it on a cassette tape in my Dad's old Sanyo Ghetto blaster before I had my own stereo. Anyway here it is, Strawpeople's version of Drive.

Racing Stripes(2005) Images
Racing Stripes was released in the year 2005。Racing Stripes is also called as Fartstriber, Héroe a rayas, Salamaseepra, Streep wil racen, Striscia, una zebra alla riscossa, l'étalon zébré, Zig Zag。
In the middle of a raging thunderstorm, a traveling circus accidentally leaves behind some very precious cargo--a baby zebra. The gangly little foal is rescued by horse farmer Nolan Walsh, who takes him home to his young daughter Channing. Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or "Stripes," as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm's misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a cranky Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. The group is joined by Goose, a deranged big-city pelican who's hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey. The un-aptly named bloodhound Lightening keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm - in between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Turfway Racetrack, where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing's top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown. From the first moment Stripes lays eyes on the track, he's hooked--he knows that if he could just get the chance, he could leave all those other horses in the dust. What he doesn't know is--he's not exactly a horse. But with characteristic zeal, he devotes himself to training for the big time, with a little help from Tucker, who has coached a host of champion racehorses in the past.

Hanover Day is the annual street festival that celebrates the little wonder that is Hanover. For those who don't know, Hanover is an area of terraced housing built at the end of the 19th century on Hilly Laine, a steep slope overlooking central Brighton (or, as we prefer to think of it, Outer Hanover).
From the beginning the neighbourhood has had a rich social and cultural mix. The heart of the community has always been ordinary people, often poor, often overcrowded, struggling to pay the rent or the mortgage, but always keen to party. Our little terraced houses conceal surprising talents and skills. We have a thriving artistic community with probably more Artists Open Houses per square mile in Brighton's May festival than any other part of the city. We have writers, actors, poets, musicians, students, scientists, researchers, lawyers, teachers, taxi-drivers, nurses and doctors. We have people you can categorise and people you can't.
Hanover is legendary for its pubs – no longer one on every corner, but still a fantastic choice. We have corner shops, studios, a jewel of a church, and a community centre.
Hanover Day is when we come out onto the streets to celebrate our excellent luck in living in such a marvellous place.
This year's theme is "The Animal Underground".
How you choose to interpret that theme is up to you! There will be workshops to make costumes for the parade on Saturday 4th July at Workshops for the Imagination, Islingword Rd. 10am – 12noon, and 2 – 4pm.

Kings Vs. Blues, 2012 NHL Playoffs Score Update: Blues Swept By Kings
By Max Mandel May 6, 2012, 4:54pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Kings Vs. Blues, 2012 NHL Playoffs Score Update: Blues Swept By Kings
Despite a season which saw the St. Louis Blues defy expectations, this 2011/2012 campaign may be remembered for the disappointing manner in which it ended. With their offense struggles continuing, the Blues saw their season come to an end at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings, who swept the series with a 3-1 win in Game 4.
Throughout the series, the Blues couldn't find a way to get the puck past Jonathan Quick. St. Louis managed to score only six goals in the series, with the lone goal of this game coming from Kevin Shattenkirk in the first period. However, after Shattenkirk tied the game in the first period, the Blues found themselves trailing after Dustin Brown scored his first goal of the game with less than two minutes remaining in the period.
Despite a myriad of chances, St. Louis was never able to tie the game. Brown officially ended any hope for the Blues with his second goal of the game, which was scored on an empty net with just 26 seconds remaining.

Trust me, I know It's not fun to walk around in pain. I've learned over the years to help myself with some tools and tricks. I'm a pretty busy person so I picked up some quick exercises and tools to help me NOW instead of waiting for my bi-monthly massage sessions. Pairing these exercises with regular bodywork and yoga has kept me going strong.
The GIANT Tuff ball is a God send! I use it to work out my forearms when I start feeling that tingling pain that I get from overuse. It also feels pretty awesome to stand at a wall and roll the ball down the sides of the spine. Try it out- Get the GIANT one! It's worth the 5 Bucks!
Regular sized tennis balls are great to work out knots in the upper shoulders or to create a "noodle Ball"
All you do is put six tennis balls in one of your husbands (or yours) tube socks. Tie a knot and...Wah lah! You have made yourself a mighty fine noodle ball. You can use it much like a foam roller but I find that it works wonderfully down the length of my spine or across my shoulder blades.
Foam Rollers work magic on my legs! I can use them to roll out my quads, work in to my hammies, get in to my adductors and feel some serious heat in my IT band! This one is from wal-mart and is not too pricey.
You can find some great videos on "How to"
Check out YouTube or Pinterest for some good ones.
Lay back and put your arms out to the side, Palms up. Lay there and relax, maybe move your head around. That's it! SOOO easy.
Cat pose for fore arm pain!
Check out Yoga journal for the instructions. Try turning your wrists so that your fingers are pointing to your knees. This will stretch out your forearms and help with pain from overuse.
What do you do for a sore body at the onset of pain?
Tell me in the comments section of this blog!
Mastery level Ashiatsu training completed.
As many of you know, there are thousands of massage therapy and bodywork techniques out there. Many of them have been past down from ancient wisdom and some are being crafted as we speak.
Over the weekend, I traveled to San Antonio to complete my training in Ashiatsu Deepfeet Bar Therapy which is a combination of ancient wisdom and western or modern knowledge of how the body works and heals.
We also focus on creating a "push-pull-pumping" effect on the tissues around the inter-vertebral disc space (around the spine) which can have a profound positive effect on the nervous system and the general health of the spine.
The training was incredibly intense- mentally and physically and I am in recuperation mode today.
I can't wait to get some practice time in and add my new knowledge to my current Ashiatsu sessions- Let me just say, you are in for a REAL treat! If you like deep tissue massage or are an athlete in need of rest, recovery, & repair of muscle tissue, then this is for you! It is most likely the deepest deep tissue you can possibly get with out the pain of elbows or knuckles digging in.
Jeni Spring of Heeling Sole Barefoot Massage in San Antonio is the regional trainer for AOBT if you live in Texas.
If you're an MT looking to learn this type of work, I highly recommend taking Jeni's classes- She's incredibly knowledgeable and is one of the best instructors I've ever had the pleasure to study under.
Check out Ruthie Hardee's Site She's the founder of this work and has created some thing really special.
If you're looking to get Ashiatsu, check out this listing of AOBT grads. You can look up highly trained, elite therapists easily and make your appointments!
I had so much fun and really challenged myself this weekend!
Now its time to rest!
What's your favorite style of massage therapy?
Have you ever received Ashiatsu?
Let me know in the comments section of this blog!

I hate suicides and lushes. So a suicidal lush gets no props from me. I also have no experience whatsoever with Hunter S. Thompson's actual work. All I knew yesterday is that one of the Doonesbury characters (which I don't read) is supposed to be vaguely based on this guy. He was certainly influential.
I am given to believe that people in search of alternate realities are generally desparate. Of course I was educated in the sciences, I have to believe that. Still, no desparation speaks louder than that of extreme excess. A supernal desire to blot out reality says to me, 'I don't know how to get my life to make sense given what I see'. That's an understandable problem, which is why there are 500 religions in the world. The religion of drug abuse, I reckon, has its global devotees. And so they've lost a prophet of rage. But what have we lost? What has humanity lost? Someone who dealt with reality? Are we so convinced by the fact that he wrote non-fiction?
In reading much of what people had to say about Thompson, I sense an anti-authoritarian resonance. Hunter S. Thompson is the man everybody wanted Michael Moore to be. Most are convinced he had actual genius and sustained his inspiration long enough to be considered one. I think rather that he was a creature of his day and marked its boundaries by his extremity. In admiring Thompson, like admiring Leroy Neiman, we are admitting to loving a moment in time. A crazy time.
Back in 1978, when I was a freshman at USC, I was transfixed by the cryptic language of the Reader, LA's original alternative weekly. I'm sure that was the psychedelic reality of gonzo.
What was a secret was that I wanted to live in 'The Swamp' which was filled to the brim with wise-cracking, subversive, geeky whiteboys. In 1978 I registered to vote and later cast my ballot for John Anderson. I was only 17 but the student who registered me said it didn't matter, nobody ever checked other than him. What was most fascinating to me were the classified and political sections of the L.A. Reader. It was the most cantankerous thing I had ever read. Here was a newspaper with curse words and rambling cryptic messages in the back pages, rants against the system, my great introduction to the world of snark. I wanted to be in there. I wanted to play Moog synthesizers, program computers and repair pinball machines. I wanted to figure out a way to hack the timesharing system.
Being charitable, I recognize that there are few temptations as appealing as having the power to invert somebody's world. To generate the act which is so perverse and mind-altering that some individual or group is forever marked. What could be more gratifying than conversion, to seduce the meek beauty, to decorate the soldier's gun with flowers, to show with implacable logic and inimitable style that the core beliefs of your opponent are dead wrong and stop them in their tracks. These are the head swelling rewards of conversion and it must be that which lies at the heart of the devotees of the alternative.
Witness Charles Monroe-Kane. His is the story of an impetuous youth determined to pull off a moral stunt.
I have struggled mightily over the past several months to find something upon which to hang my thoughts about the 'alternative mainstream' and this must be it. It explains the the sin of Eclexia. I think I have broken through, excuse me while I absorb the import.
It's ironic and perhaps only appropriate that taking seriously someone I was bound to disrespect cued up this insight.
"A little bit of everything adds up to a whole lot of nothing."
There is probably no such word as 'eclexia', I just made it up, but the sin is real. It is the fatal attraction to novelty and change. It is the mindless sacrifice of tradition at the alter of the new. It is the inability to find satisfaction in the settled.
Eclexia is characterized by a restless antipathy to the established and an overweening desire to get away from it. The eclexic is eclectic to a fault. Their fatal flaw is that once the novelty of the thing has worn off, once it becomes established, their interest and respect fades rapidly.
Eclexia is a sin because it is fundamentally disrespectful of the efforts made by people who bother to study something specific. It acts against collaboration in solving standing problems. It refuses to focus. Thus the eclexic requires some outre personality which allows him to eschew the 'mundane' tasks that are faced by all of us. In that regard, eclexics are dependent on an established alternative subculture - something that allows them to easily be understood as 'cutting edge' or 'radical' even if they are not talented or committed in any way.
I don't believe that the world operates singularly in zero sum terms, but that a cultural win-win is possible. Still there is a certain cost to alternative culture which isn't countercultural. It's the cost of dissonance.
I'm trying to guage what is transient about American culture. It has to do with my conservatism and also with a better understanding of class. It's particularly compelling for me to gain this understanding since I expect to be doing a bit of business with some Chinese folks.
I am convinced more than ever that society advances through adherence and conflict. At all levels there are power struggles - people follow their desires and adhere to what gets them what they want. But of course a lot of people opt out. Some opt out loudly. This loud dissent is sometimes the very stuff of which progress is born, but sometimes it's simply noise. We have so many competing versions of what happened in the 60s that it's often difficult to distinguish between the useful dissent and simply dropping out.
But we have survived all of that era intact and a great deal wealthier. The alternative has become substantial. Today you could be a billion dollar business selling music and clothes for tongue pierced youth. The alternative is established. The good news is that the social pressure towards conformity has dropped below the suppressive, although I'd rather not be queer. The bad news is that we must often share the social stage with people whose lifestyle, indeed their lives, make no sense.
Eclexics and noisy alternatives often mistake their differences for sentient dissent. Indeed we even have a 'politics of difference' as if such a thing were consistently ethical. While I'm not certain Hunter S. Thompson was a creature existentially tied to such madness, he certainly seems to have inspired those who are to devotion.
I have just been arguing that the good thing about the blogosphere is that it can serve to counteract the cults of personality surrounding broadcast media stars in the category of 'news'. What was Thompson but a media personality who 'reported' the facts?
Thompson belonged on the fringe, in the alternative scene, and was part of the movement of the 70s that altered the landscape of pop culture. Now that we have an alternative culture in the US that is at least as big as Catholicism, it seems appropriate to honor the Gonzo. It's part of our correctness.
I take a small bit of comfort in knowing that eclexics will bore of Thompson reverence within a week.
GVDL, ever mature, demonstrates his ability to repel the hordes.
Well, HST...he, rather more than T. Wolfe, opened up political reporting. He is an heir of the Sage of Baltimore, Mencken. Was he worthy of the amount of comment he's recieved? I think so, especially in this venal and bloated age.
How could you hate a suicide? The majority of people who commit suicide are mentally ill, suffering from severe depression. Depression is a real medical illness, not a flaw in character.
When someone commits suicide, we should ask the question what could have been done to have helped that person in his/her health crisis instead of wagging a finger of disapproval, which is the equivalent of blaming someone for developing breast cancer.
Mr. Cobb, you disappoint me. You are too intelligent a man not to know more about effects about depression.
I'm not particularly interested in the effects of depression any more than the average psychiatrist is interested in the effects of hard disk defragmentation algorithms. And it's going to take a good long time before I am convinced that socialization of the mentally ill contributes to the strength of our nation. It's a big gripe for me, and I notice it whenever I see a healthy 19 year old black man who can't get a job contrasted with a 85 year old white woman with both a new mercedes benz and a handicapped parking permit. In short, when I am convinced that our ability to care for the weak at the expense of the vital makes us stronger than we otherwise would be, then I'll be quite politically correct on the matters of cripples, retards, junkies, and other defective people. In the meantime, I believe there is a certain amount of excess and overreach when it comes to allocating resources towards making life comfortable, period. To me it represents a complete failure in honestly dealing with the ethics of death.
As for Mr. Thompson, I think he pretty much knew what his life was worth, and as GVDL states, I think it's a crime to create widows and orphans.
