Doug Holck: June 2009
Don't Want to Go Through the Motions
http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/mini-movies/13534/The-Motions--Matthew-West
Posted by Doug Holck at 3:19 PM No comments:
I’ve a question: where’s the adventure in walking on sidewalks?
“Doug, you walk the sidewalks where I walk and you would see. It’s not safe!”
Okay, I’ll allow that. However I still ask the question: where’s the adventure in walking on sidewalks?
Give me a path to walk any time and I’ll take it. You never know where a path will lead or what it will throw your way. When I was young, living on an almond ranch in Capay Valley, we had to be careful of rattlesnakes. No problem! It was part of the adventure walking the path.
Today, we’re civilized and with the exception of places like the mountains, or a beach access, paths hardly exist.
If sidewalks are a sign of being civilized, perhaps we’re to civilized. We’ve lost nature’s ultimate visual reality—walking paths. Sidewalks erase adventure. They’re too predictable.
In our search for adventure, we’ve settled instead for virtual reality video games, where adventuring is artificial. Or, shows where others do the adventuring and we “spectate.”
As followers of Christ, have we become sidewalk Christians? Following prescribed ways of coming and going. In so doing have we lost the adventure of taking a path that leads to where we’re not sure, or do not know?
God said he would direct our paths. He’s the God of adventure. In fact he put the “advent” in adventure. (Leonard Sweet)
Let’s decide together to get off the sidewalk of coming and going like we always have and start walking a path to where we’re not sure, or do not know. (For those who’ve lost the spirit of adventure, here’s his promise: “[My] word is a lamp to [your] feet and a light for [your] path.” Psalm 119:105)
By faith lets hike the path. Sidewalks are for sissies. (Now I am in trouble.)
Yours for the path set before us,

GALACTICA SITREP: Reviews & Recaps
New York Magazine has an excellent review of The Road Less Traveled:
There are flashier, more compelling characters on Battlestar, but deep down, the one we most admire is Helo. Noble, loyal, and levelheaded no matter the latest emotional ringer he’s being put though, he’s a good guy who’d make a great leader, except he doesn’t have the ego for it — which, of course, only makes him more appealing.
His steely calm was put to the test in “The Road Less Traveled,” trapped as he was between the increasingly kooky Starbuck and his concerned Demetrius crewmates who wanted to remove her from command. This season has been pitched a little too high emotionally, so it was a relief to watch Tahmoh Penikett (who plays Helo) deliver another terrifically modulated performance, balancing Starbuck’s nuttiness, the crew’s paranoia, and his own doubts about the wisdom of their wild-goose chase to find Earth. The episode was all about how people manage to maintain their basic decency in impossible situations, so who better to shine than the quietly heroic Helo?
MaryAnn Johanson of FlickFilosopher finds poetry in BSG and observes:
Frak me, but it’s starting to look like the only way humanity will survive is with the Cylons at their side, however uneasily. It didn’t have to be that way, and it may not be happening in the way that the Cylons intended (or maybe it is...) but if nothing else, there are already “humans” like Tyrol and Tighe struggling with figuring out who they are, and there are already people who are half Cylon and half human. Honestly, what difference is there, really between the skinjobs and the humans? Matters of philosophy only, it would seem.
Other reviews and recaps of the episode from: Zap2It, Athens Exchange, SyFy Portal, IGN, TV Fodder, and BuddyTV.

Salt marsh harvest mouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The salt marsh harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris), also known as the red-bellied harvest mouse and sometimes called the saltmarsh harvest mouse, is an endangered rodent endemic to the San Francisco Bay Area salt marshes in California.[2] There are two distinct subspecies, both endangered and listed together on federal and state endangered species lists. The northern subspecies (Reithrodontomys raviventris halicoetes) is lighter in color and inhabits the northern marshes of the bay, and the southern subspecies (Reithrodontomys raviventris raviventris) lives in the East and South Bay marshes. They are both quite similar in appearance to their parent species, the Western harvest mouse. Its endangered designation is due to its limited range, historic decline in population and continuing threat of habitat loss due to development encroachment at the perimeter of San Francisco Bay.
The salt marsh harvest mouse has dark brown fur above and a pinkish cinnamon or tawny belly; moreover, the tail is likewise bicolored. An adult's length is twelve to eighteen centimeters (5 to 7 inches) and a tail length of six to ten centimeters (2 to 4 inches). The height is between 1.5 and 2.1 centimeters (0.6 to 0.8 inches). Weight of a mature mouse is approximately 10 to 20 grams (0.35 to 0.7 ounces). The upper incisors are grooved.
This species is nocturnal, with particularly noted activity on moonlit nights. This mouse is particularly resourceful, making use of ground runways of other rodents; moreover, he also exhibits climbing agility. It enjoys subsisting in marsh habitats where glasswort abounds. Luckily the glasswort plant has been increasing around the San Francisco Bay perimeter since the 1980s. Its many predators feature hawk, snake and owl species, as well as shorebirds and larger mammals. Predation by domestic cats is an issue due to encroachment of the limited habitat by humans at the perimeter of the San Francisco Bay.
As would be expected of a mouse native to salt marshes, this species is a competent swimmer and is tolerant of salt in its diet and water supply. It can drink salt water for extended periods of time if necessary, and sometimes even prefers it to fresh. It eats seeds and plants, especially pickleweed and glasswort, one of the most common salt marsh plant species.
Similar species are the Plains Harvest Mouse, which has a distinct but narrower stripe on its spine, and the Fulvous Harvest Mouse, which has a longer tail. Also similar is the Western harvest mouse, which has an underbelly fur that is whitish in color and an indistinct white stripe along the fur above its spine. Finally the House mouse has incisors without grooves, unlike those of the salt marsh harvest mouse.
The salt marsh harvest mouse has an average maximum age of 12 months, however most of the mice only live to about eight months. They do not have a high reproductive cycle as other species of mice would. They usually have around 4 offspring per litter and usually only once a year. They are a density- dependent species meaning when populations begin to rise the breeding time is pushed back into later spring. However if population density is too high, the populations can face the reality of extinction. Summer, when salinity of water and vegetation increases the mice have a notable advantage due to their ability to drink and survive purely on salt water. The northern species can survive purely on salt water, however prefers fresh to salt. Souther species can survive on either and does not display a preference to either.[3]
The mice are dependent heavily on vegetation cover. Thus they can only survive under thick vegetation. Specifically they are dependent on thick cover of plants that thrive in salt water. They include salt marsh herbs, grasses and reeds. The pickleweed (Salicornia virginica) is their primary and preferred habitat as well their main food source. The salt marsh Harvest mouse is not an aggressive species thus enabling many mice to live in close quarters which gives them the ability to withstand short durations of high populatio

ABC's of Life: How to let a blog you follow feel the love :-) especially us just starting out
How to let a blog you follow feel the love :-) especially us just starting out
1. Leave Comments – bloggers love comments. We love to hear that you are enjoying what we have to say. We actually love to connect with you personally and many of us use some of the input that you leave in your comments.
2. Send an Email. Let them know that you appreciate what they are doing. Bloggers do not make lots of money off their blogs – if we did it for the money, most of us would quit. (Trust me!) An email can brighten a blogger’s day and make their job feel as a blogger worth it to them.
3. Have Patience. If you sent a blogger an email and they do not respond right away, please don’t leave comments on their Facebook pages or send multiple emails. A blogger can receive over 300 emails a day with people demanding their attention. When a blogger can, she will email you. Sometimes she has to work behind the scenes to come up with the answer to your question. If you haven’t heard from them after a week, send another one. Check to see if they received your email but do it politely. Please.
4. Enter Their Giveaways. Bloggers are judged by how many entries they have in their giveaways. I wouldn’t enter everything they have because you might not be able to use it all but if you can, please enter. It is encouraging to see a huge listing.
5. Fan Their Facebook pages and suggest them to your friends. If you like a blogger and enjoy reading them, chances are – you have friends and family that might enjoy them too. Use your simple “suggest” button Facebook and suggest your favourite blogger’s Facebook page to your friends.
6. Re-Tweet out their comments. If you are on Twitter, retweet your blogger’s favourite posts so that others can see them and possibly follow them and read their posts.
7. Have a favourite company on Facebook? Suggest your favourite blogger to that company. Companies have really begun to appreciate social media but they don’t always know who is out there. You as the reader can influence a company to do a giveaway on your favourite blogger’s blog just by letting them know that they exist. It’s as simple as leaving a Facebook comment or sending an email with the blogger’s web address.
8. Make suggestions to your favorite blogger of things you would love to see.Bloggers love to add content that their readers want to see. Make sure before suggesting it that it fits that blogger’s blog because some things may not be a great fit but others will be.
9. Offer to Guest Post. Bloggers have down days. Days when they are sick, days when they don’t have anything to say, days when their world’s are crazy busy, and days when nothing is going right. Those days are days when either we don’t write or we love to share someone else’s thoughts. You might be an expert in something or have something you would like to share. Chances are very high that your blogger will love it and use it! Ask them first before you put all the time into it.
Bloggers love their readers and all the support that we can get makes our days and writing easier. For every blog that is started daily, at least a few quit. Why do they quit? They don’t have the support that they need. If you have a favourite blogger, let them know and send a smile their way!

It’s a topic that business authors adore. This is perennial best-seller
territory…so much so, you could probably fill a moderate-sized home library
with titles like The Art of the Deal
and Getting to Yes. When it comes to negotiating a home purchase in Metairie
or New Orleans, fine-tuning your offer—finding the balance between writing a
winning offer and writing the most advantageous offer—can present a real challenge.
Add to that the national headlines that tell us that there are more bidders out
there vying for the same properties, and it makes sense to listen to what the
experts have to say about the most successful tactics. When you’re negotiating
a home purchase in Metairie or New Orleans, some of the most repeated generalities are applicable:
· Keep your cards close to your chest
Rogers sings about it, and every poker player agrees: when you’re negotiating,
it’s almost always prudent to volunteer as little information as possible about
yourself and your home search. If you aren’t considering any other properties,
don’t let the sellers’ agent in on the fact. Never lie, of course; but find a
polite way to be vague. The less you say about personal connections to the
property, the better. Stick to the numbers and terms.
· Keep Your Paperwork Smart
if you are approved for, say, a $350,000 loan, but are writing an offer for
$325,000, instruct your mortgage broker prepare a pre-approval letter with the
amount of your offer—not your full buying power (that’s just asking for a
higher counter offer!).
· Negotiate for the win, not just to win
you get caught up in negotiation, it can cause you to lose sight of the big picture,
which is winding up owning the property you want. If a seller won’t budge on
price, ask yourself if the property is actually worth the price they are
asking. Canny buyers keep in mind that this isn’t about “winning” by getting
sellers to come down to your bid, it’s about winning by getting the Metairie or
New Orleans home purchase that makes sense for you. If the comps support the
price (and you know you’ll be delighted with the house) do be open to weighing
the merits of the deal…even if it’s not as rock-bottom as you had hoped. A home purchase in Metairie or New Orleans is a complex,
sometimes emotional process—but going in with the right mindset can make all
the difference. Good luck hunting! If you’re looking for an agent to help you
every step of the way, I’m standing by all summer
waiting to lend an experienced hand!

The upheaval in global financial markets over the past few
years may have been unnerving for almost everyone, but among the hardest-hit
group was first time home buyers, in New Orleans, Metairie, and across the
country. Many had to deal with the stress caused by an uncertain economy, the
fallout on business and job security, and, more directly, a pronounced increase
in the difficulty of securing mortgages. The good news for New Orleans and Metairie first time home
buyers is how the national situation has stabilized. It’s confirmed by the
increase in the number of people interested in buying a home for the first time—which
has climbed out of the slump. The latest NAR (National Association of Realtors®) annual Profile—a
yearly report describing home buyers and sellers—shows that new entrants into
the residential market accounted for 39%, just 1% shy of the pre-crash mark.
If you’re selling a
New Orleans or Metairie home this summer and
have priced it attractively, it could pay to be mindful of this important
segment of our market. So just who are New Orleans and Metairie’s first time home buyers? That’s
where the NAR report gives us some important clues. Three-quarters of first
time buyers across the nation fall into the category of current tenants —those
living in rented accommodations—with 18% still living with parents. As you’d
expect, almost all (98%) of that segment hope to fund their purchase with a
mortgage, with 81% preferring a fixed-rate loan. Some first time home buyers
plan to use personal savings for the down payment, but many others plan to get
help from family. (New Orleans and
Metairie home sellers take note: one possible incentive to make your listing
stand out might be to include an offer to cover closing costs.)
Three-quarters of respondents were aged from 22-42. The single
most common reason given for buying a home is to start a family (70%), and of
those buying a home for the first time, 51% are married couples. With proportions
like those, any home in a family-friendly area should benefit by pointing out
attractions like local parks, playgrounds and superior schools.
Maybe the most interesting statistic in the report was that
28% of the first time home buyers were already making plans to move again
within five years! It may follow that, at least in many cases, first time home buyers
in New Orleans and Metairie may not want to deal with remodeling issues. Attracting
them could be the final reason to bring your property into “move-in” condition.
Well thought-out marketing is the key to success with any
listing, whether it’s catering to New Orleans and Metairie first time home
buyers, or to any other segment. If you are thinking of selling your own home, a
call to me and a some preliminary groundwork on a marketing plan that will work
for you is definitely in order!

Last year comprised a decision point for many a local investor who had been holding back from the Metairie and New Orleans real estate market. There’d been a number of good reasons for them to hesitate.
First, there were memories of the pervasive price drops that followed the global financial meltdown. Not exactly what a prudent investor was looking for—even given the real estate’s traditionally invincible long-term record. Then there were fears that the economy’s slow reverse out of the Great Recession (a term that was in itself enough to freeze many a checkbook!) would hamper apartment and single family unit rental increases. A landlord could get squeezed by inflation…if therewere any inflation…who could know for sure?
But as 2013 began, some positives that were at last beginning to provide a degree of optimism. Last year’s Metairie and New Orleans real estate investment decision was looking a little less risky when the historically low mortgage loan rates were taken into account. They penciled out to what looked like a potentially rosy cash flow outlook. And even the more hesitant investors had been noticing for a while how institutions had been pouring their own cash into residential real estate—you had to wonder why so many of the larger investment concerns suddenly seemed to want to become local landlords…
Now we can look back at 2013 and realize what a fantastic year it was for Metairie and New Orleans real estate investment. First, there was the rise in real estate prices, which was nationwide. According to the S&P Case-Shiller Index, U.S. real estate prices increased 11.3%—the highest rate of increase in many years. By the end of the year, website Zillow was predicting that the rise would continue through 2014 at a steady (and less superheated) rate. That tempering was attributed to the gradual rise in still-low mortgage interest rates—and to the inevitable fact that the most extreme bargain properties had been snapped up.
The latest news on multi-family dwellings shows that fears of inflation outpacing landlords’ ability to increase rents were exaggerated (to say the least). National research firm Reis has just reported that for the 12-month period ending in June, rents rose 3.4%—the 18thconsecutive quarter of rent increases! “You have definitely seen the recovery now spread to all of the major markets around the country,” according to Reis economist Ryan Severino. Single-family home rentals are on the rise also. According to Zillow’s latest Year-over-Year Rent Index, “increase renter demand is driving rental appreciation” even though rent affordability continues to be low in terms of percentage of incomes.
What does this mean for today’s investor deciding whether to enter the Metairie or New Orleans real estate market? That’s always a choice individuals make for themselves—although, as a not-entirely neutral observer I tend to side with landlords throughout the ages whose reliable backstop has always been the real estate “they aren’t making any more of.” One thing is for certain: checking out the values to be found in this summer’s Metairie and New Orleans real estate offerings is the only sure way to gauge the opportunities that are out there. In other words, give me a call.

What originally attracted the owners to this home was the desirable location and easy maintenance.
The owner's favorite aspects of the home are the hardwood floors and high ceilings on the first floor. They have spent a lot of time in the living room with the family.
While in the home, the owner made several improvements including redoing the roof, installing new leaf-guard gutters, and remodeling the master bathroom.
Even though they are happy to start a new chapter, the owners will miss the easy maintenance, since they will be moving to a larger home with more land.

A Metairie or New Orleans Foreclosure Needn’t Disqualify Responsible Applicants
There is encouraging news for some prospective homeowners
with a Metairie or New Orleans foreclosure
in their recent past: more common sense seems to have entered the picture.
The financial crisis that began in 2007 caused global
disarray: across the U.S. (Metairie and New Orleans were no exception), large
numbers of responsible homeowners were clobbered by the fallout, often finding
their incomes suddenly reduced or even obliterated as business cutbacks and
closings reverberated through the economy.
The Metairie and New Orleans foreclosure rate jumped as a
direct result—and it’s taken quite a while for the effects of that to work
through the system. But even after the economy has resumed something like
normal activity, more than a few local residents have found themselves having
to deal with how a Metairie or New Orleans foreclosure on their record dims
their home ownership prospects. Even if the reason for the Metairie or New Orleans
foreclosure was due to circumstances beyond their control—and even if they had
recovered enough to now be able to service a home loan—many found that qualifying
for a mortgage with reasonable terms was difficult to impossible. That was bad
for everyone, and the effect on the market was such that the Federal Housing
Administration decided to address the problem in specific situations. For those
who qualify, it can make the availability of a normal home loan newly possible.
The idea was to enable
FHA backing for borrowers who could show that their Metairie or New Orleans foreclosure
or bankruptcy was caused by external economic factors. With few exceptions, borrowers
had not previously been eligible for an FHA loan until two or three years after
a foreclosure. Exceptions to that rule were granted only if the death of a
spouse or medical emergency had caused the forfeiture: now “loss of income” was
added as an extenuating circumstance. It means a much
swifter rehabilitation. For those who can demonstrate that a job loss, pay cut,
or decline in business income caused their Metairie or New Orleans foreclosure,
the previous years-long waiting period may be waived. There are other details
that can affect any individual applicant’s eligibility—and the guideline change
is temporary—but overall, the recognition that the Great Recession was the true
cause of many Metairie and New Orleans foreclosures does seem to be a fair
In the wake of a foreclosure, you’d expect it to take more
work to arrange a new home loan, and that’s the case. But the good news is that
for those who qualify under the widened eligibility guidelines, they are
increasingly likely to be able to obtain a new home loan—even following a recent
foreclosure in Metairie or New Orleans. Whether or not that is your situation,
if you’re looking to buy a home this summer,
Step One is to get pre-qualified. I’m standing by to help get the process

November 4th, 2009 - Gregory G. H. Rihn — LiveJournal
November 4th, 2009, 07:08 pm
Since Oct. 31st actually fell on a Saturday this year, local communities moved the “official” Trick-or-Treat periods to Saturday as well, which gave us the unusual situation of having the T-o-T production and Lytheria Halloween party on the same date.
The day began early for us, as I started make-up about 10AM, “building” the false beard I would wear as Ivan the Terrible. I did a dark brown beard with dramatic gray streaks which I thought worked really well and was one of my more impressive efforts. Then getting into costume came next. For Ivan, I had black “Ren Faire” pants bloused into knee boots, and a black shirt under a black diamond quilted tunic decorated with small silver spangles at the junctures of the quilting. Over that for outdoors I wore my black shearling coat, which kept me nicely warm. Accessories were a fur hat with plume, leather belt with large silver studs, leather gloves, some jewelry, and a staff topped with a metal skull and shod with a wicked point, similar to the one with which Ivan supposedly killed his son, Ivan. As is often the case, all this I had on hand except for the tunic, which Georgie acquired at a costume shop sale this summer with this part in mind.
The same sale had yielded Georgie a magnificent gold and black Elizabethan dress, which she wore with multiple strings of pearls and a queenly headdress for her role as Elizabeth I, Queen of England.
I should mention that this year’s theme was “Night at the Museum,” taken off from the two recent movies, so the production cast were mostly historical characters. This made it easy for a lot of us to costume, so we ended up with twenty-eight people involved in this year’s effort, which I think might be a new record. (See picture below--).
About eleven, we packed up and drove over to Lytheria. Besides our own gear, we were packing costume parts for Jackie Hanchar to be Amelia Earhart (jacket, flying helmet, goggles, aviator scarf) and for Todd Voros to be Napoleon (coat, vest, bicorn hat), and a bag of white crepe hair to do a “Leonardo Da Vinci” beard for Lee Schneider. We wanted to get there early because I correctly guessed that Lee would be a moving target for the multi-step beard layering process, and I wanted it to get done before we actually had to start.
The set closed in the front porch, and was signed as “National Museum of History, Milwaukee Annex.” Inside were some wall niches and pedestals, a variety of artifacts, and a historical globe that opened to reveal the candy stash.
As usual, the dining room gradually became a flurry of hairdressing, making up, last-minute sewing and lacing in, but it all came together about fifteen minutes before opening time.
Since I was well insulated for the chilly weather, I decided to work out on the street, along with other characters such as Boudicca, Charles Darwin, Catherine the Great, and Anubis, who kept the crowd entertained while waiting their turn to go through. After a slight delay, we pretty quickly had a line of people waiting that lasted all afternoon until after technical closing time.
As Lee had mentioned, the party started almost immediately after we closed, as we merged basic breakdown of the set with garnering warm drinks, and then food. Other residents of the house that weren’t involved with the Trick-or-Treat but were helping with the party soon had the table groaning with the typical spread that Lytheria parties are known for.
We were glad to see friends make it in for the party, some from as far away as Madison. We had a good time, but folded our tents about 8PM due to the length of the day.

Shattered Frame…OOPS. | BECKY'S BLOG
Shattered Frame…OOPS.
Posted on October 28, 2010 by beckyyk
Today, my Snapple fact under the lid said, “The world’s largest silver nugget (1840 lbs) was found in 1894 near Aspen, CO.
I was mad when I read this. What a lame fact. Who cares about silver nuggets? The only nuggets I care about are nuggets of food, known as chicken nuggets. I wasn’t interested in this fact and twisted it back onto the bottle.
I drank the diet snapple lemon iced tea. It quenched my thirst. I began thinking. You know what, finding a 1840 pound nugget of silver would actually be pretty awesome. Imagine if you wore it as a necklace? You would need a push cart just to take a walk down the street… unless you had a bionic neck.
I began thinking some more. I wonder who that man was who found the silver nugget. [Yes, I assume it was a man who found it because in those times men were the ones working, while women stayed in the kitchen… the way it should be.] I wonder if he was really excited when he was digging, or mining, or pitchforking and saw the silver surface. Maybe he said, “Crikeys, it’s a silver nugget”…or maybe he said, “Jeeze Louise, it’s a silver nugget”…or maybe he said, “Yippy Khai Ayy, I’m going to be rich”. I wonder where that man is right now. Maybe he is my guardian angel.
I slept at my friend Maryellen’s apartment in the city last night. I was walking to the bathroom to get a cupped handful of water because I was so thirsty. There was a big picture frame leaning against the side of the bed [don’t ask me why it was there, ask her] The last time I got a drink, I walked by it so quickly, that it just tipped over and crashed against the wood floor…resulting in this:
This happened at 5am. I went back to bed and said I would clean it up in the morning. The morning came. I cleaned it up. Of course, I apologized to Maryellen profusely. She was unfazed by it…What a good friend. I picked up all the big pieces. Then I picked up the little pieces. Then I swept the dusty glass. Then I took a wet paper towel and washed the floor. Hopefully I got all the pieces. I told Maryellen to wear shoes for the next two weeks. Even when she was sleeping.
I suppose I should buy Maryellen a new frame…I will use the money I made from the silver nugget I found in my mom’s jewelry box, then sold, to buy her one.

Maryellen, if you read this, I miss you.
Becky, I saw you recently, but I still miss you too.
I took a lot of nyquil and slept for 14 hours last night. Now I am watching The Fly.

Mindful Parenting and Living: Talk on Buddhism for First Parish Church Sunday school.
Talk on Buddhism for First Parish Church Sunday school.
The kids at FPC Sunday school recently visited a meditatation center. I was asked to put together a discussion on Buddhism to try to help them understand the topic better. Here is what I wrote:
Buddhism is a method to improve personal happiness. Premise: everyone wants happiness and deserves to be happy. We have a right to be happy and so does everyone else in equal measure.
Buddhism gives us a roadmap of the path to attain happiness. Two of the important ideas are:
1.Emotional Management
2.Compassion for ourselves and others.
Emotional Management: Buddhism gives us a method for incrementally calming and steadying our emotional state of mind. Our minds are like a pond. In high winds things aren’t clearly reflected. We want our mind to reflect reality and the truth.
We want to exercise control over which thoughts that we entertain and which thoughts we let go. Thoughts give rise to emotions. We have a thought and that evokes feelings. We want to limit the impact of the afflictive emotions of: anger, fear, frustration and greed. These are the biggest trouble makers in our experience and need our focus, attention and mindfulness. We want to limit the actions we take when we are under the influence of these emotions. When we are under their influence we don’t see the truth. Evolution delivers us blind energy when anger is present.
Story of the angry samurai:
This Buddhist story summarizes the effect of the afflictive emotion of anger:
A samurai warrior visited a Buddhist monk and said: “Master, explain to me the difference between heaven and hell.”
The monk replied: “I have no time for a simpleminded brute like you. Leave my temple.”
The samurai unsheathed his sword and shouted: “I could cut your head off right now!”
The monk replied: “That is hell.”
The samurai sheathed his sword, bowed his head and said: “Thank you, master.”
“That is heaven.” The monk proclaimed.
Sample meditation: One type of meditation involves letting go of all thoughts as they arise. An example meditation is one where we watch the breath. Let’s do a 5 minute breath meditation where we watch the breath and let go of all thoughts as they arise. This will enhance our ability to let go of toxic thoughts when they come into our experience, because if we can let go of all thoughts we can more readily let go of toxic ones when they are recognized.
The topic of attachment is important in the Buddhist framework.
We want to insure we don’t get caught up in praise or blame, fame or disrepute, pleasure and pain, gain and loss.
We don’t want to cling or grasp to a sensation because, by its nature, it is going to change. We need to welcome the present moment and we need to be ready to accept events as they unfold. One day we are the best at our sport, the next day we feel like we are an amateur again. Our bodies change and the world changes, but our calm, tranquil state of mind should be constant.
My 9 year old presented me with this joke the other day: “Why couldn’t the Buddhist vacuum in the corners of his house? Because he had no attachments!” She gets it, too.
We want to seek the truth in our experience. A Buddhist tries to resist falsehoods, exaggerations and sarcasm. The famous Japanese Buddhist poet Basho wrote: “The old pond, the frog jumps in, plop.”
Often in the West we use exaggerations to add excitement or humor to a story. Buddhist prefer truth because it is safer.
Meditation on the emotions:
Think of the last time you got really angry? Reflect on this event as a neutral third party. Reduce your ego and examine the events while taking all sides into account. Try to discover the truth in the experience.
The final topic I would like to introduce is emptiness. Buddhists believe that objects don’t exist in the way our minds initially interpret them. Everything is interconnected in our world and nothing exists in its own right. Everything that comes into existence depends on something that helped create it. Objects are constantly changing and cannot remain indefinitely or be completely destroyed. The table that we are using was build from trees and will eventually break down and return to the earth. Life and death are examples of another continuum. We think of our life starting when we were born, but we lived as a fetus prior to our birth. We were also a part of the apple that our mother ate that nourished her eggs. Another meditation is to contemplate where you were when your grandmother was born.

In the Chinese galleries of the Met, some photographs of lotuses by American photographer Lois Conner - with the painted scrolls, three each in gorgeous dark (above) and in jagged white (below). Sublime.
We got to Weber's "Religious Rejections of the World and their Directions" in my first year seminar today, our one token classic text. I expected the jargon and style to be a source of difficulty, but we got over it. How? By making fun of (but writing down and learning) long German words. From Wirtschaftsethik der Weltreligionen to Zwischenbetrachtung, to Eigengesetzlichkeit, and its roots in the Sanskrit svadharma elegantly to the revived polytheism of values. Smooth like a Volkswagen!
Went to the New York Public Library with a medievalist friend today to look at a facsimile of a famous twelfth-century Bible Moralisée from Vienna. I'm looking for an image from such a Bible for my Job book, since it makes typology inescapably and beautifully clear: often the relationship of type to antitype is rendered clear by a visual echo in the layout of the scenes. There's also text spelling things out. For instance, in this section of Leviticus above an episode of bread-baking is revealed really to be about the bread of life. (The type and antitype are horizontally pairs. This key starts in the second row.
Yeah, yeah - we remember that from Gregory the Great. Jesus is the alpha and the omega, the key to everything. But as you go on to the various dietary rules, the "moralized Bible" sounds other notes. (Here the pairings are vertical: top right and the one below; top left and the one below it; third down the left side and the one below it; etc.)
All those prescribed and proscribed animals and birds and fish turn out to refer to a fixed set of characters, miscreants, usurers, Jews, women.
Dreary monotony of the usual suspects! After looking through a few more pages, we were depressed and disgusted. Even as the art work exquisitely realized stories and relationships (often in interpretively wildly adventurous ways), the textual interpretation hollowed them out and filled them with the a blandly hateful content. It was like taking a beautiful multi-colored work and erasing the colors, replacing them with the numbers of a color-by-number coloring book for which you need no more than the smallest box of crayons.

The skin's coming on to the Fifth Ave side of the new University Center!
Ever wonder what the fountain at Columbus Circle looks like to Columbus? I hadn't either. But Berlin-based Japanese artist Nishi Tatzu has built a living room around the statue, and for the next two months you can visit Cristobal and see the new world as he sees it. He is a gracious host, if a bit stiff - I don't think he was expecting company.
His living room has a television, some book cases, couches, a big coffee table with art books, the usual. His view, which I'd thought diagonally westward, in fact goes straight down Eighth Avenue.
Most appreciated by his visitors seems to be his witty wallpaper.
I imagine it gets lonely up there. The golden goddess of Central Park waves to him from behind, but he at least pretends not to notice. Likewise the traffic snarling around and up the West Side. Perhaps it's true that he never got where he really wanted to go: Japan.
The answer was there for all to see, but who could read it?
Miss one week and the Farmer's Market is a different place entirely! This table was overflowing with a dozen varieties of heirloom tomatoes just a fortnight ago... now all that's left are the mini-est of mini-tomatoes, scattering to make way for battalions of squash.
In lived religion discussions I always emphasize that religious devotés (individually, in families, etc.) don't just unthinkingly assimilate an entire creed and suite of practices, but pick and choose, add and substitute to make the religion their own.
Most of my students think this is hunky dory. Some wonder if anything goes, however, a few ask if ordinary folks really have the resources to make good choices, and others wonder if this isn't the death of all traditions by a thousand cuts - what lets anything stay stable enough to be a tradition? If this bricolage really is something which deserves to be honored as "religious creativity," it can't be mere corner-cutting and self-indulgence, but formed by a serious effort (I'm partial to the word "faithful" here, but others don't like it as much) to live the tradition.
Analogs to all of those questions came to me in an unexpected place today when I was looking at the "Ratings & Reviews" of an online recipe for a lemon rice and eggplant-chickpea curry. It had an impressive 5-star rating from its reviewers. But, it would appear, almost none of the reviewers had actually followed the recipe! Here are some of the top ten reviews: (See if you can reconstruct the recipe from them!)
This was a super easy dish to make and took no time at all. I did not add the curry paste (not a curry person) and it tasted awesome. First time I have ever made eggplant and was happy with the result.
This was yummy. My boyfriend, a big-time carnivore, was a little surprised when he asked me what kind of meat was in it, and I said, "none." I left out the eggplant because he is not a fan, and only added 1 1/2 tbsp of curry paste. I substitute the Basmati rice for Jasmine, because that's what I had in the pantry. I would definitely make it again, next time with chicken or perhaps even lamb, and I would add the full 2 tbsp of curry paste.
Quick, easy to make and best of all delish! I have made this twice now and like adding more curry paste but then I am a big curry fan. I would recommend those new to curry to stick to the recipe as is. The cashews add a nice crunch and a touch of sweetness.
Amazing! (I added another heaping teaspoon of curry and skipped the cashews)
Made this last night for the first time. I skipped the rice part and just made the main part and it was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today. It would probably be great with chicken too if wanting to add a meat. I didn't have cashews, so used roasted peanuts and it gave the dish a nice salty-crunchy surprise kick.
the highlight of this dish has to be the rice. the vegetable topping is also great, reminds me a bit of ratatouille. ive already prepared this dish a few times, making various substitutions along the way, for example i replaced the eggplant with zucchini, chick peas with black beans. it always turns out great!
It always turned out great, but in what sense did these people actually prepare the same dish? The fact that they posted reviews of it suggests they thought they did. Enough to rate it and recommend it, in any case. My quandary. Do I cook "it" tonight? Do I join the community of those who have made the recipe their own, a community which honors the individual cook's exigencies, quirks and commitments, and teaches us how, when and why to make adjustments ourselves? I'd feel a fuddy-duddy for actually including chickpeas, eggplant, curry and rice!
One big challenge for lived religion understandings is explaining why traditions don't just entropically explode or subside or dissolve. One set of explanations involves authority, welcome and unwelcome, desired and feared, externalized and internalized, sometimes mystified as "custom." But a second is suggested here, a community which models a creative faithfulness, providing resources for and - perhaps - setting bounds to it. Enough to call it a tradition, in any case?
The Los Angeles Times, to which I now happily subscribe online, has posted a dossier of amazing b&w photographs of storms by Mitch Dobrowner. This isn't even the most remarkable, but it's a good taste.
Most of the cheeses we enjoyed at Sunday dinner this week - missing are only the French goat and the Norwegian (by way of Minnesota) Gjetost.

Ethics and religion are like water and tea, the Dalai Lama says, but water on its own is also nourishing. And "While we can live without tea, we can't live without water. Likewise, we are born free of religion, but we are not born free of the need for compassion."
While at the Studio Museum of Harlem, I also saw a wonderful exhibit of photographs taken by high school students inspired by the museum's collections. These two stunners explicitly address the religious experience of teenagers. They're called "The After-Life" and "Religion Dior." I've written to the museum to convey my admiration to the photographer - and to inquire if there are more where these came from.
Went up to the Studio Museum of Harlem and to El Museo del Barrio to check out the wonderful mega-exhibition "Caribbean: Crossroads of the World." There's more of it in the Queens Museum, which I hope I'll have a chance to visit, too. It's a stunner! Combing online reviews I found images of some of the works: Dudley Irons' "Black Star Line" (1995); portrait of Jean-Baptiste Belley; Mallica Reynolds, "Seven Brothers" (1966); Asilia Guillén's "Exodo Cubano" (1963). And, perhaps my fave, Marisa Jahn's brilliant child literacy project "El Bibliobandido."
This just in: the Princeton University Press editorial board has given their final approval of my Book of Job: A Biography manuscript. It's really going to happen - perhaps appearing as soon as next Fall!
Another greatest classic - this time in the Lang First Year Café Night series: Sergei Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin." Three dozen students sat patiently through it, but when my colleague B tried to lead a discussion about it, nobody said a word. It's too hard to read, a silent,
black and white propaganda film about revolution, its hero no individual but a mass coming to consciousness of itself? Perhaps. But maybe it was
something else. When B, near her wits' end, asked if anyone could think of a more recent film which "Potemkin" in some way reminded them of,
someone finally piped up. "Titanic," he said, because in both someone commands someone to "shoot them like dogs." But there may have been a deeper wisdom in the analogy. The main thing this generation knows about the USSR is that - like the Titanic - it wound up going under.
What a week! A concatenation of Film Forum series let me see two films which have long been honored as best ever - Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" (1941) and Jean Renoir's "La Regle du Jeu" (1939) - on the big screen: my first time for the Renoir, for the Welles it's been decades. Both are feasts for the cinephile, but "Kane" now seems a little precious, while "Règle" remains for me a work of devastating perfection.

Exploring some of the less developed parts of Prospect Heights to see the studios of artists (thanks to the Brooklyn Museum's GoBrooklynArt program) I happened on a new mosque just blocks from my home.
My old high school friend J found this dizzying secret dance here.
Nobody pays attention to party platforms except the opposition. So you can imagine the delight of the Republican operative who did a search for "God" in the 32-page Democratic Party Platform and came up with nothing. (There's a discussion of the contributions of communities of faith, but no mention of God by name, unlike the name-dropping Republican platform.) I'm not sure it's big news, since there was only one use in 2008 - which has since been restored.
We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their [God-given] potential.
Why bother, you might think. I thought so. And then I was describing it to one of my first year students (none of whom has been following the conventions) and suddenly it seemed that, although it will win no points with anyone at this point, there is a difference between "potential" and "God-given potential" as political terms. My potential is mine, and my concern. My God-given potential is something else, something of broader concern. We have a duty to God to allow those potentials God has given people to develop, all people's, not just our own. And perhaps we have a duty to God to develop our potentials for the sake of all - though that might seem a stretch to some, I grant, a flashback to the day when there were thought to be duties to God, to others, and to self, all interconnected.
There are plenty of reasons to support democracy, and to pursue the common good. God-given potential in all is a Christian one. It's actually quite a radical idea. That talent of yours? You didn't build it.
NYU's Bobst Library, which we New Schoolers also use, has installed a screen to ensure that nobody ever again leaps to his death from its galleries. I'm sure we'll soon get used to it, but before we do it's worth appreciating how like the cascading ciphers of the Matrix it is at its best, not so inappropriate, I suppose, for a repository of knowledge.

BBC - Future - The madness of net scare stories {{pulseintro}} {{pulsequestion}} {{pulseaccept}} {{pulsereject}} ]]> Google+
Life:Connected | 20 July 2012 The madness of net scare stories Tom Chatfield About the author Tom Chatfield is a British author. His most recent book, “Netymology”, explores language and technology. He blogs at tomchatfield.net and tweets at @TomChatfield Technology Brain Internet World Wide Web Share this page Share this with Digg Facebook Google LinkedIn Reddit StumbleUpon Twitter Read more about these links. (Copyright: Thinkstock) A recent front-page story that questioned the sanity of web users does little to enhance the debate about the use and the abuse of the web, says Tom Chatfield. Related Does the internet rewire brains? Web addicts have brain changes Web addicts have brain changes similar to those hooked on drugs or alcohol, preliminary research suggests. “Is the web driving us mad?” asked Newsweek magazine, in a cover story that fuelled some frantic global debate on technology and mental health. “Our digitized minds can scan like those of drug addicts,” it noted, in terms likely to have most concerned parents rushing to rip plug sockets out of their walls. “Normal people are breaking down in sad and seemingly new ways,” it added.As sites like Mindhacks (co-written by BBC Future columnist Tom Stafford) have already argued in response, the evidence behind such claims is rather more tenuous than the article might have you believe. One of the pieces of research cited, for example, linking web use to “blue moods, loneliness, and the loss of real-world friends”, was later accompanied by a follow-up study involving 208 of the original study’s respondents (which the article doesn’t mention) that showed these negative effects dissipated with time. Similarly – as has been noted on BBC Future, among other places – the notion that the internet is uniquely perilous in its ability to “rewire our brains” is not nearly as alarming as its sounds, not least because pretty much every other sustained mental activity we undertake also has a “rewiring” effect.More generally, though, there’s a profound problem encoded in questions like “is the web driving us mad?”. For beneath a sporadic veneer of neuroscience and behavioural research, they represent an attempt to conjure a definitive moral perspective on an entire communications medium. Which is a little like asking someone “are books good or bad?”, and then basing the entire future of your society (should you be burning these things or giving them out free in schools?) on a definitive response to something that can never meaningfully be answered in binary terms.‘Brain-rot’It’s certainly clear, today, that the use of digital technologies is intimately bound up with some patterns of behaviour that make some people feel profoundly alone or unhappy. What should be equally clear, though, is that simply blaming an innate, toxic technological quality for this offers no-one any realistic hope of improvement or understanding – especially in a world in which using the internet is a habit that involves over two billion of us on a regular basis.What we urgently need to do, rather, is to look at the nature and the quality of the experiences being created by different people’s use of new technologies – and then to ask what it might mean to create happier, richer human experiences through these tools.There is, it’s worth noting, no such thing as a neutral tool. All our technologies push us towards certain kinds of behaviour, and push us away from others. If I want to kill someone, a gun is more useful than a pen. If I want to communicate with a thousand people, an iPad is better than a paper notepad – although it may become considerably less useful if I spend more than 24 hours away from a power source.Similarly, there’s no such thing as a neutral way of using our tools. And when it comes to digital devices, fetishising the technologies themselves often means losing sight of something far more important: the patterns of behaviour in which they are implicated. Simply telling a lonely or depressed person to stop using their computer is not helpful, any more than telling them to pull themselves together is likely to effect an immediate cure.What might help, though, is an examination of how and why the experiences they’re having online may be implicated in their unhappiness, and of what it might mean to develop different, better patterns, both digitally and in person. It is, after all, perhaps the greatest gift of digital media that all its screens are two-way surfaces: places that can bring us towards a deeper engagement with the world and each other, as well as cut us off.If there is an elephant in this room, it’s not brain-rot, but the implacable complexity and scale of the information systems in which our lives are increasingly entwined – and from within which, for many people, opting out or pushing back can seem a wishful dream rather than a real possibility. Even here, however, a rigorous focus on human experience should be emancipatory – and should feed into those increasingly important larger debates surrounding the politics and ethics of technology and its regulation.‘Keeping up'Above all, it’s vital that we don’t let moral panic prevent us from bringing the best of our past thinking to bear on the present, or cut us off from analysing our online experiences in the light of sensible, humane notions of what it means to be happy, sane and treat each other well. There’s nothing more likely to make us irrational and ineffective in the face of human misery than the notion that we’re facing some kind of existential, mind-warping threat – and nothing more likely to make words of caution and advice fall on deaf ears among those not afflicted by such concerns.To this end, it seems increasingly important to me that schools and national curricula establish a place in children’s lives from an early age for the discussion of what it means to use digital media and devices well. This isn’t about preaching, fear-mongering or offering by-numbers solutions. Rather, it means acknowledging the uncertainties and fears that accompany many online experiences, and permitting people to share these feelings – and access good quality information and advice – without leaping towards labels like “addiction” or pathological diagnoses.A few years ago, I wrote about an educational game aimed at helping British teenagers enjoy better and safer online experiences, especially in the fraught environments of social media. Parents’ and teachers’ concerns for these teens largely revolved around headline-grabbing issues like cyber-stalking, sexual assault and addiction. For teens themselves, however, it soon became clear that small discontents, frictions and uncertainties loomed far larger: online bullying and mockery, a lack of expertise around privacy settings that they didn’t feel able to share with anyone, an uneasy sense of being forced to “keep up” and perform social roles without knowing how to switch off.Having the space to express, share and explore such fears and uncertainties is an important part of any education system hoping to teach digital literacy, alongside the provision of information and community resources to support these enquiries. It’s also likely to provide a saner and more rigorous basis for regulatory policies, digital privacy and criminal laws, and the emerging accoutrements of a notion of decent digital citizenship.All of which is far from being a panacea for modern ills – but which is certainly a better place to start from than with the kind of scaremongering that denies our capacity to learn and overcome, to share our discontents without labeling them an illness, and to help each other live a little better in the present.Do you agree with Tom?

Investigating preferences for mosquito-control technologies in Mozambique with latent class analysis — Penn State
Rachel A. Smith, Victoria C. Barclay, Jill L. Findeis
Background: It is common practice to seek the opinions of future end-users during the development of innovations. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate latent classes of users in Mozambique based on their preferences for mosquito-control technology attributes and covariates of these classes, as well as to explore which current technologies meet these preferences. Methods. Surveys were administered in five rural villages in Mozambique. The data were analysed with latent class analysis. Results: This study showed that users' preferences for malaria technologies varied, and people could be categorized into four latent classes based on shared preferences. The largest class, constituting almost half of the respondents, would not avoid a mosquito-control technology because of its cost, heat, odour, potential to make other health issues worse, ease of keeping clean, or inadequate mosquito control. The other three groups are characterized by the attributes which would make them avoid a technology; these groups are labelled as the bites class, by-products class, and multiple-concerns class. Statistically significant covariates included literacy, self-efficacy, willingness to try new technologies, and perceived seriousness of malaria for the household. Conclusions: To become widely diffused, best practices suggest that end-users should be included in product development to ensure that preferred attributes or traits are considered. This study demonstrates that end-user preferences can be very different and that one malaria control technology will not satisfy everyone.
