Fellin' Nice?

I just read THIS study about how the aroma of freshly baked bread can actually make people feel better and act nicer.
It came as little surprise to me. Nothing smells better than bread baking in the oven!

I have a whole board on pinterest dedicated to BREAD.
Theses are some of my favorites:

This Whole Grain Basil Bread from The Diva Dish.
 It's totally delicious with lots of butter and honey.

I have decided that muffins fall into the "bread" category as well.
My kids love mini muffins. I like to bake large batches and freeze them for breakfast and lunch snacks.
This recipe for Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins looks like something the little people in my house will love. I haven't made them yet, but I did buy several bunches of bananas this morning in the hopes of making them soon.
 And this Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread is my favorite banana bread recipe ever.

Whenever Ty works late nights I like to bake bread for the kids and I to eat for dinner.
Last week we had a loaf of pumpkin bread and I have a big loaf of crusty bread rising for dinner tonight. Fresh baked bread is fun and turns a meal into something special.
And now it can make you and everyone around you nicer! Win-Win-Win.

Go bake some bread and get happy :)

Top 5 Video Sport Suggestions For Christmas

It's that time of yr again! 2011 is nearly more than and it's time to look back again and award video games that stuck out in our minds - video games that accomplished greatness, whether or not great or bad. Remember, all games and awards are purely the viewpoint of this author.

Gears of War took all the award in 2006 for game of the yr for Xbox 360 now it has arrive to the Pc and nonetheless has all the flair of its Xbox 360 counterpart. The Computer edition has 5 new campaign missions, new multi participant modes and more, go check it out!

Electronic Arts also has a strong presence on the latest patch with two new titles: Military of Two and Battlefield: Bad Company. With the addition of previous titles, Battle Evening Spherical 3 and Need for Speed Carbon, the third-party giant has four total Best Hits video games on the Playstation three.

How the sport will be located throughout the two disks is unidentified at the current second but 1 disk with the solitary-participant campaign and multiplayer on the second seems likely.

May be it is the purpose, why Bethesda and ZeniMax determined to create a new Mmorpg - ESO GOLD Online. It is not a joke. Such sport will truly be developed. You can find info about the sport at a website of the sport in the base of the topic. This sport is going to be 1 of the very best MMO games in the click here globe. Why? They have all essential to become the very best. Their Tamriel universe is very well-liked. They have a great deal of followers who will support the sport throughout beta testing. They have every thing. Many sport developers are dreaming to have this kind of glory. I bet you know Morrowind and Skyrim. I am certain you invest many hrs playing TES. Do you keep in mind these amazing games? Now just envision how stunning and interesting this MMO will be.

I will not go into the mods, good or poor, such as the controversial 1 that elevated the rating as I believe the blame was badly-positioned. Nevertheless, I will mention the ease of creating and putting in them. There is a totally free construction set for the game, which enables you to change actually everything in the sport globe. Even make an completely new globe with new quests. This indicates if you do not like the sport, you can change it. I do not like how user-unfrendly the established is, but I'm right here to evaluation the sport, not the participant content.

Rounding up the second group of Best Hits titles are two higher profile sequels. Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 and Konami's Metal Gear Strong four: Guns of the Patriots are two of the greatest video games to be a part of the plan to day.

Disposable Fashion

Exhibit case of paper dresses featured in the Thompson Gallery

Exhibit case of paper dresses featured in the Thompson Gallery

In 1966, the Scott Paper Company introduced two paper dresses to promote its new line of “Color Explosion” paper products. The dresses came in two patterns and were a simple A-line shape that could be cut with scissors to the desired hem length. A customer could send the company $1.25 and receive a dress, along with coupons for Scott’s toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins. The dresses were made of cellulose pulp that was reinforced with a nylon webbing to improve durability and drape. The company was so overwhelmed by orders that it abruptly ended the promotion after just six months. Other manufacturers took up the mantle of paper dress manufacture, however, and the fad continued for the next three years.

Campbell Soup Company created the “Souper Dress” that is printed with a repeat of their popular tomato soup cans. It piggybacked off the success of pop artist Andy Warhol, whose artwork entitled, Campbell’s Soup Cans, debuted years earlier in 1962. The Yellow Pages company also produced a dress in order to promote their phone directory publication. Paper dresses were not limited to corporate advertising, however, as traditional manufacturers, as well as new start-ups, began to produce paper dresses in various prints and patterns.

Textile designer Julie Tomchin remarked to Life magazine in 1966, “After all, who is going to do laundry in space?” The space race of the 1960’s was an important influence on fashion during this decade, particularly in the collections of André Courrèges and Pierre Cardin. People, such as Tomchin, had begun to consider what the future might look like and how people might dress in their new environment. Disposable paper clothing could be the answer. Some paper dresses, such as the one featured in this post that depicts the image of the Mercury Atlas Rocket, directly reference this growing interest in space exploration.

This dress is one in a series of five designed by artist Harry Gordon for London Paper Dresses Ltd. The five poster dress designs included the ‘Mystic Eye Dress’, ‘Giant Rocket Dress’, ‘Rose Dress’, ‘Pussy Cat Dress’ and ‘Hand Dress’. They were released in 1968. The rocket depicted is the Mercury Atlas Rocket. The Mercury missions were the first manned American space flights. The dress also includes a Velcro closure on the shoulder, a direct result of textile innovations related to space travel.

Mars of Asheville (NC) was one of the major manufacturers of paper dresses during their brief period of popularity. Mars of Asheville, claimed to be “The Pioneer in Disposable Fashion.” This post features a cap-sleeved paper dress with multi-colored paisley and floral motifs that was part of their “Waste Basket Boutique” collection. The fabric care labels in these dresses state:

“Do not wash. This material is fire resistant unless washed or dry cleaned. Then it becomes dangerously flammable when dry.”

yellow pages magazine

The Yellow Pages was another “Waste Basket Boutique” dress by Mars of Asheville. It is a yellow/gold non-woven fabric with a collage print design of yellow pages telephone book ads. It was available by sending in your request with “one dollar each including postage.” It, like the others, arrived with care and cut-to-hem instructions, as well as a convenient re-order form.

Most of the dresses in this exhibit are very simple A-line shifts with little to no construction complexity. They are sleeve and collar-less and fasten simply with ties or Velcro. This dress, however, is unusual in that it is fully fashioned with a mandarin collar, long sleeves with cuffs, patch pockets and a back zipper closure.

The fad for paper fashion was ultimately short-lived as concerns about pollution and waste began to emerge. Books, such as Rachel Carson’s, Silent Spring, drew attention to the health risks of pesticides and manufacturing. Subsequently, the interest in fast disposable fashion began to wane and by 1969 most disposable clothing transitioned from articles of fashion to more practical uses, such as disposable sheets and scrubs still used in the medical field today.

The spirit of sharing

As the US leg begins, I thought I'd pass on this lovely personal reflection from South Africa comparing the 360 tour to the woman with the alabaster jar. Excerpt: "[Criticism of] the monumental costs of the stage and transport... is nothing less than that same spirit of poverty from thousands of years ago crying out 'we could have taken that money and donated to the poor.' Sharing boldly in love and taking all you have and just pour[ing] it out will create respect from some, but envy and anger from people who you think love you.... The spirit of sharing really has no problem with finance. It does not think about ROI and what’s in it for me. The spirit of sharing sees the bigger picture and act in the ways of the heart. When you let the heart guide your decisions, you will risk looking stupid and you might be attacked. But just like the woman with the alabaster jar you can create history and live forever."

Angela said...

So glad you posted this. I had been puzzling over that criticism of this show. Why should anyone care how U2 is spending their money? They're not price-gouging in order to afford this setup; quite the opposite.

U2 Sermons said...

It's really strange, isn't it, how other celebrities can spend money and time on fleets of Jaguars and collections of extravagant mansions and so on, while garnering only a sort of voyeuristic envious smirk from the public... whereas when U2 spend money and time on providing a more satisfying artistic experience for their audience and/or fostering their social and ethical commitments, they are almost inevitably raked over the coals for it.

Super Bowl 45 Picks and Predictions?

What are your Super Bowl 45 picks and predictions for 2011? I'm so ready for the Super Bowl that I can hardly wait for February.

I'm going with the Packers this season. They are serious contenders with that defense.
I can't predict a score, it will be a tough game.

Who do you think is gonna win the Super Bowl 45? Let me know your picks and predictions.

asked by Philip in Football | 3356 views | 01-24-2011 at 02:09 AM

I've been saying this was going to be a Steelers-Packers Superbowl year for some time now.

I'd like to see the Packers win, but think the Steelers are more likely.

My prediction for the final Superbowl 45 score: Packers-17 Steelers-21.

The Steelers defense is at the top of its game, just as it was the last time Pittsburgh pulled off a Super Bowl win.

From our files: East Hoathly and Halland Carnival Bonfire Remembrance parade. Each year thousands of spectators flock to the village to watch the procession of blazing fire banners to the bonfire site. They also carry poppies - each one represents and remembers a villager lost in the two world wars. Picture by Jim Holden

East Hoathly Bonfire: Parking restrictions in force

There will be access and parking restrictions in and around East Hoathly tomorrow night (November 11) for the annual Bonfire Remembrance parades.

There are expected to be around 1,000 torch bearers, a firework display and a bonfire.

The advice from organisers is to leave your car at home.

Police warn that there will be road closures in place during the procession along with temporary speed restrictions on the A22. The measures were first used last year on safety grounds.

Towed away

Parking enforcement will be in place and cars parked in the no-waiting zone will be towed away.  On the A22, the tow-zone stretches from the northern boundary of Halland to Blackberry Farm in the south.

Tim Laker, Chairman of the East Hoathly and Halland Carnival Society, said: “We welcome people to come along and experience the East Hoathly bonfire event.

“This year promises to be spectacular, with an incredible sculpture and fireworks display planned for the evening – by leaving the car at home, visitors can reduce any potential stress and focus on having fun.”

Royal Fusilier

This year’s event will feature a 30ft-high image of a local private from the Royal Fusiliers, who was killed on the first day of the Battle for Messines Ridge in 1917, is intended to honour the millions of ordinary foot soldiers who lost their lives in World War 1.

As with the previous 12 effigies, the angel was sculpted by East Hoathly artist Keith Pettit from waste timber destined for landfill.

Twenty bonfire societies are expected to join the parade with marching bands along London Road, High Street and South Street.

A charity box collection will take place on the night, with proceeds donated to East Hoathly Village Church.

Two minutes’ silence

The carnival takes two hours to snake through the village. The torch-bearing procession will form at 7pm before a two minutes’ silence at 8pm, and the final grand procession will leave the Foresters Arms for the War Memorial Playing Fields at 9pm after which the bonfire will be lit and the fireworks begin at 9.40pm.

Blue Badge holders are advised to arrive early and speak to stewards about disabled access. Those walking to the event are advised to consider their safety when walking home in the dark and come prepared with torches.

Narrative Elements

What is it?

Foreshadowing is a way of indicating or hinting at what will come later. Foreshadowing can be subtle, like storm clouds on the horizon suggesting that danger is coming, or more direct, such as Romeo and Juliet talking about wanting to die rather than live without each other. Sometimes authors use false clues to mislead a reader. These are called "red herrings," and they often appear in mystery writing. Foreshadowing can also be considered a literary device, but we have treated it as a narrative element because of its association with storytelling

Why is it important?

Foreshadowing adds dramatic tension to a story by building anticipation about what might happen next. Authors use foreshadowing to create suspense or to convey information that helps readers understand what comes later. Foreshadowing can make extraordinary, even fanciful events seem more believable; if the text foreshadows something, the reader feels prepared for the events when they happen.

How do I create it?

Create foreshadowing by placing clues, both subtle and direct, into the text.

To create foreshadowing in fiction or non-fiction,

Self Check

Ask yourself these questions to recognize and understand foreshadowing:

"Young Goodman Brown came forth at sunset into the street at Salem village; but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as the wife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap while she called to Goodman Brown.

"Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when her lips were close to his ear, "prithee put off your journey until sunrise and sleep in your own bed to-night. A lone woman is troubled with such dreams and such thoughts that she's afeard of herself sometimes. Pray tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year."

—Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Young Goodman Brown"
Are there phrases about the future? Yes: "put off your journey until sunrise and sleep in your own bed to-night," "tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year."
Is there a change happening in the weather, the setting, or the mood? The sun is setting, and Faith's worries create a mood of apprehension.
Are there objects or scenic elements that suggest something happy, sad, dangerous, exciting, etc.? The "wind play[ing] with the pink ribbons" seems like a happy image, but then Faith whispers sadly, and she expresses fear.
Do characters or the narrator observe something in the background that might be a hint about something to come later? There are no particular objects that seem significant here, but Faith's anxiety about her husband leaving on this night hints that something bad might happen while he's away.

Foreshadowing Tip

Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story or chapter. Keep an eye out for signs of potential conflict between characters. Look for signals that things might not be what the initially seem. Pay close attention to any details that seem unusual or have particular emotional significance. These might be clues about what is to come.

The triumph of postmodernism: Facebook support for Archbishop

Surely this is the final triumph of the postmodern erosion of Western thought. You can now join a group on 'Facebook' titled, 'The Archbishop of Canterbury is a good man'.

By joining this group, you apparently affirm (without a hint of irony) that you believe:

1) The media has misinterpreted the spirit of what Dr Williams was talking about in his lecture
2) As an intellectual, and a spiritual leader, Dr Williams should feel free to express a carefully considered opinion.
3) That Dr Williams is one of the most gifted minds in Britain, and his views should be given careful consideration.

Point (1) presumes you have read, and are in a position to judge, everything 'the media' has said in the last four days and that all of it is wrong, whereas your own understanding of what Dr Williams said is right.

Point (2) is a truism.

Point (3) is moot (boot-licking, but moot) and vacuous. Anything anyone says should be given careful consideration at times, but just because they have a gifted mind doesn't mean they are right.

My own response would be that by joining the group you show that, however well disposed you might be towards Rowan Williams, you need to sign up to a class on, say, elementary philosophy.

We have now moved from the ad hominem argument - the kind of thing that says, "Well, if so-and-so has said that, then they must be wrong," - to the ad hominem defence - "If so and so is attacked, I must agree with them."

One person I very much doubt would be impressed by this is Dr Rowan Williams! He has asked us to think about some very serious issues. And after the initial confusion, and resulting furore at the end of last week - much of which Dr Williams admits was down to the way he expressed himself - a serious debate has emerged, not least in our media, where the debate is vastly better than the side-taking and personality-hyping going on in the Church.

Dr Williams is a good person. Of course he is. In my view he came up with a bad idea, is all.

Repeat after me: "It's nothing personal."

Revd John P Richardson
12 February 2008

No comments will be posted without a full name and location, see the policy.

  1. (Chelmsford)

    Well, John, it's probably a good thing that you told the bishop you hosted on Saturday morning "you need to sign up to a class on, say, elementary philosophy" only after the event! Yes, Pete Broadbent has joined the Facebook group you mentioned, along with over a thousand others whose names and (mostly) faces are publicly accessible, including Essex blogging vicars Paul Trathen and Sam Norton and quite a number of other clergy. I just hope no one is seriously offended! Actually a lot of the group members are students who might take your suggestion seriously.

    But surely to agree with point (1) you only have to agree that a significant part of the media "has misinterpreted the spirit of what Dr Williams was talking about", which is clear without the need to read everything.

    My response to an invitation to join was to ask if I can do so while still believing that Rowan should resign, and take a job where his gifted mind will be appreciated. I have had no reply.

  2. Thanks Peter. I knew about Pete Broadbent signing up, but I was trying to spare his blushes!

    On the 'philosophy' point (and this is not a dig at you personally!), you wrote, "to agree with point (1) you only have to agree that a significant part of the media 'has misinterpreted the spirit of what Dr Williams was talking about'".

    But no, the group info says what it says: "Joining the group affirms that you believe ... The media has ... etc."

    To gloss "the media" as "a significant part of the media" is to (a) ignore what was written, (b) to presume I know what was meant was not what was written, (c) to presume other people understand I have put my own, unexpressed, gloss on what was written, and (d) that to presume that my own gloss ("a significant part") is itself correct. Actually, my reading is that there is a lot of media comment which has understood the spirit, and the letter, of what the Archbishop wrote (and what does the site mean by "the spirit" anyway?)

    In other words, it may sound like a 'common sense' reading, but it is fraught with problems!

    One of the painful lessons I learned (through ruthless low marks) at University, was that you couldn't assume other people knew what you meant with what you wrote, even when they did!

  3. I think you are being a bit harsh, John. Language is usually a bit 'loose' and the spirit of the group is clearly to provide a counterbalance to the clamour calling for the Archbishop's head. "The media" evidently does not mean "all the media" (how could it?), as "the Church of England" does not mean every parishioner, vicar and bishop. I support the spirit of the group and have therefore signed up.

  4. Sound, spiritually mature observations.

    God's peace from across the pond,

  5. Fair enough, John. But if you insist on your alternative reading, that "The media" must mean "everything 'the media' has said in the last four days" (even with the implicit restriction "on this subject"), you are making the statement "The media has misinterpreted ..." into a contradiction of the "All Cretans are liars" variety. For this is a statement which appeared in the media. Of course Epimenides' epigram quoted by Paul is intended as a generalisation, and as such is valid and not a contradiction. But if we know well enough to interpret a sentence like this with "All" in a way which makes sense rather than an inherently contradictory way, then how much more should we interpret in this way a similar statement without "All".

  6. "Jonathan" and "Andy T". First PLEASE abide by the comments policy - I've published your comments, but it is right and reasonable that people don't send anonymous letters to newspapers, and don't post anonymous comments in the blogosphere. So please give names and locations.

    Secondly, Jonathan, that 'language should be allowed to be a bit loose' thing is surely at odds with a site that sets out to support Rowan Williams for his intellectual rigour. It is also, in this specific case, untrue. "The media" has not misrepresented Rowan. A good deal of "the media" has understood him very well - see the huge number of links on Thinking Anglicans, Chelmsford Anglican Mainstream, etc - but responded to him largely negatively. I would point to Martin O'Neill's analysis as a very good case in point. By signing up to a misstatement of the facts, supporters of this Facebook site suggest to me they haven't understood or engaged with what is now an ongoing debate.

    There was a lot of media misreading on Friday and Saturday, but by the Archbishop's own admission this was partly down to him. Since then, I think the media grasp of the issues has improved immensely, but it is still coming down against the Archbishop's viewpoint.

    Thirdly, signing up for "I love Rowan" websites is stifling debate in the Church, where to criticize what the Archbishop said is being taken as a criticism of the Archbishop. This is the triumph of postmodernism. Ironically, the Church is excluding itself from debate precisely by its personalizing of the issue.

    To those who 'support Rowan', however, I would say, "Exactly which bits of Shari'ah law (for example, with regard to the family) do you want to see integrated into our social and legal processes?"

    Andy, thanks for the greetings, but what does the T stand for?

  7. Hi Peter, and thanks for your reply. Please see mine to "Jonathan" in particular. The reason for my objection is that "the media" has palpably and demonstrably not misread Rowan, and has increasingly been better in its response to what he has been saying than has the Church in general and his 'supporters' in particular.

    If the site had said, "There has been some media misrepresentation of the Archbishop" that would have been true. It is the introduction of sweeping generalization into what is supposed to be a support for rigorous debate that I think needs highlighting. That and the rather silly implication behind the whole exercise that because Rowan Williams is a 'good bloke' he shouldn't have been criticized as he was. Good blokes sometimes do bad things.

  8. John, you contradict yourself. You wrote "There was a lot of media misreading on Friday and Saturday" and then ""the media" has palpably and demonstrably not misread Rowan". Can we agree that on Friday and Saturday large parts of the media DID misread Rowan, and then on Monday and Tuesday most of them read him more correctly? If so, the statement "The media has misinterpreted the spirit of what Dr Williams was talking about in his lecture" (note the past tense) is formally correct as a generalisation, if incomplete because it fails to note that in general the media later interpreted this correctly. Furthermore, since the statement was quoted by Dave Walker on Sunday evening and so written before Monday and Tuesday's papers were available, it was surely correct and complete as a generalisation at the time it was written.

    But I agree with your final point. I am quite happy to say that Rowan is a "good bloke", but he did a bad thing, not for the first time, and it takes more than being a "good bloke" to be a competent leader of a church.

  9. Hi Peter. You wrote, "Can we agree that on Friday and Saturday large parts of the media DID misread Rowan, and then on Monday and Tuesday most of them read him more correctly?"

    I agree, some parts of the media may well have misread some of what Rowan Williams meant (though some of this, as he acknowledges, was down to the way he expressed himself), and that the media critique improved dramatically over the weekend. (I think it was getting quite savvy by Sunday, incidentally.)

    I agree, it would have been more precise for me also to say, "at least some parts of the media had palpably not misread, etc." So now we are agreed. You might like, incidentally, to look at the article in the Telegraph, "Dr Rowan Williams's words were understood", which questions the whole idea of 'media misunderstanding'.

    We are now left with the situation, however, where the debate in the Church is in danger of being stifled by the personalising of the dispute, and is trailing behind the debate in "the media" as a result.

    If I say, "Williams was wrong," does that mean that people who think Williams is a good man must necessarily disagree with me? Equally, does thinking Rowan Williams is a good man mean I must agree with his thesis on Shari'ah?

    I think you and I both agree it shouldn't.

  10. Ruminating on this, as I have been doing, I am increasingly of the view, expressed by Melania Phillips this morning, but also much earlier by liberal blogger Adrian (Pluralist) Worsfield, that Rowan Williams's words on the radio and in his lecture did imply what "the media" took them too - namely an effective, formally sanctioned, 'parallel' jurisdiction of Shari'ah courts within our social and legal system.

    This would render even my suggestion that some of the media misread Rowan Williams too much of a concession.

    The test would be this - for Rowan and the Facebook supporters - what do you propose in practice (which we don't have already)?

  11. (Oxford)

    What a relief to find your post and to discover that I haven't gone completely mad! The move to an ad hominem defence of RW has been baffling, and sadly it seems to be those outside the Anglican community who are now making all the running with the important questions arising from his comments. I watched Ruth Gledhill's videolog from Synod with astonishment as senior figures queued up to pretend this was all a storm in a teacup.

    Of course Rowan is a good man, and an impressive scholar in his own field, which makes it all the more of a shame to find him (and many other Anglicans) trying to throw sand over his tracks. The Facebook group seems to be one more means of achieving this, which is why I have declined to join.

  12. This isn't really a defence of RW, but an attack on some of the politicians comments...

    politicians from all 3 main parties came out very quickly to say why RW was wrong. But surely some of these are the very people who advocated paying benifits to multiple wives IF they were married in a country that allows it.

    Sounds very much like a parrallel system which accomodates Shira to me.

    That doesn't make what RW said either wise or right. It just makes some of this critics hypocritical.

    Darren Moore

  13. I’ve never used Facebook (I spend too much time on the internet as it is!), so someone will have to do this for me: start a group called “Richard Turnbull is a good man”. To join you have to affirm that you believe the following:
    1. The media coverage of Wycliffe Hall has been one-sided, and misrepresented what Dr Turnbull has been trying to do their.
    2. As an intellectual and spiritual leader, who is actually capable of expressing himself in comprehensible English, Dr Turnbull should be free to express his opinion and run his college without the interference of the Guardian or former principals.
    3. Dr Turnbull has a gifted mind, 7 more years of parish experience than Alister McGrath, 8 years more than Rowan Williams, and 11 years more than NT Wright, and his views should be given careful consideration.

    Of course, someone might object that the above ad hominem points are entirely irrelevant to the issue of whether or not Elaine Storkey was “bullied” or treated unfairly. But then the points on the “Rowan Williams is a good man” page are entirely irrelevant to whether or not what Williams said was right, wrong, or plain barmy. And isn’t it interesting that all the liberals and open evangelicals who joined in with the press feeding frenzy on Turnbull, are now complaining that the same press has misrepresented and mistreated Williams? Do I smell the faint whiff of hypocrisy?

    Stephen Walton, Marbury, Cheshire

  14. Stephen: please don't assume that all those from the liberal or open evangelical wing of the Church are joining in the orgy of sycophancy which has erupted. Like a number of others I know, I inhabit the more liberal Catholic wing of the Church, and am deeply disappointed by both Rowan's argument and his handling of the sharia saga.

    I think you are right to feel aggreived at the way this fiasco is being used by some to bash conservative evangelicals, but I do wonder whether bringing Wycliffe Hall into this controversy is only to further politicise a matter which is already suffering from having become too politicised.

  15. Good point Steve.

    Of course it seems people apply different levels of perdanticness to different people.

    While on the subject, did you meen under pt 1, there, rather than their?

    Darren Moore

  16. "Their" in point 1 should of course be "there". Prolonged internet use has also made me illiterate.

    Stephen Walton, marbury, Cheshire

  17. John, my brother, I just wonder: why is commenting on this Facebook site in this way a good use of time and energy for the Kingdom?

    Here are some people who, wisely or unwisely (or perhaps a mixture of both), are seeking to show some generous-spirited kindness and support to a church leader who, for whatever reasons, has got himself in a tight spot.

    We may agree or disagree, but why is it important to knock them down? Why is it important even to have any opinion on this?

    Is the Facebook site a primary issue of the gospel?

    Does it advance the Kingdom of Jesus to speak about these people in this way?

    Do such comments help those who are unsympathetic to biblical Christianity to warm to it?

    And does your comment that "Point (1) presumes you have read, and are in a position to judge, everything 'the media' has said in the last four days and that all of it is wrong, whereas your own understanding of what Dr Williams said is right" apply to all of us or just those who have signed up on this Facebook page?

    "If we would but observe 'unity in essentials, liberty in non-essentials,charity in all things' our affairs would certainly be in the best possible situation." (Peter Meiderlin, 17th C Lutheran theologian).

  18. This comment has been removed by the author.

  19. David, if people want to run a "For he's a jolly good fellow" website for Rowan Williams, fine. If they want to present it as somehow 'supporting' him over the Shari'ah affair, that is another matter.

    David Walker's Cartoon Blog, where I first came across the group, has this: "The Facebook group entitled ‘The Archbishop of Canterbury is a good man‘ is up to about 1250 members at the time of writing - not bad for a couple of days."

    "Not bad for what?" is a reasonable question. What the Facebook site represents is a shift in Church engagement from ideas to personalities.

    And yes, this is a gospel matter. There is a great gospel tradition of the transformation of the intellect, represented within, though not confined to, the Reformation and the Lutheran and Calvinist traditions of robust engagement with culture.

    The Facebook group is, ironically, a contradiction of what it purports to support - a man who asked us to engage with ideas - being ad hominem in its entirety.

    The very attitude behind it explains why it is almost exclusively 'the media' which has engaged with Rowan Williams's suggested line of thinking - not entirely (though largely) negatively - whereas the large sections of the Church have defended the man without much analysis of his ideas.

    It is a great shame, as he raised some very serious issues, albeit, in my view, with some almost entirely wrong suggestions.

  20. PS, I was surprised (and relieved) to see this posted on the Wardman Wire blog, basically supporting what I'd said about the "For Rowan's a jolly good fellow" Facebook group. Surprised, because I'd previously taken issue with the same blog's analysis of the BBC coverage. Relieved because, Wogan-like, I do sometimes wonder, "It is me?"

  21. John Omani:
    you're quite right, and I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to imply that all liberals were joining in the "orgy of sycophancy" (I wish I'd thought of that phrase!). And thankyou for the tone in which the criticism was given- it made a refrshing change. I realise that there are many liberals who have behaved honourably, and must be deeply embarrassed by this sort of manipulation. As for "politicising" this whole mess, well... I think it's politicised already. What I was trying to do was be satirical (not very successfully) and expose the inconsistency of some of the people involved. Also, given that state of the Church of England, I don't think the various controversies can be separated entirely.

  22. Further on this, I have sent a message to James Townsend, the founder of the Facebook group, to try to find out what he thinks about the Archbishop's suggestions. No reply yet, but if I get one, I'll mention it here.

A curious concept of Easter?

A curious illustration that this country still has some residual Christian memory comes with this advert from
To celebrate Easter season we have made it our challenge to feed 5,000 people on fish and to help whet your appetite we have some of the most fantastic seafood establishments in the UK. Some have designed exclusive menus for you to try like Marco Pierre White at Lanes restaurant and many have pulled together exclusive prices. Booking is open until the end of Easter so let's make the goal a reality and fill our belly's with lot's of our floating friends.
Theologically, though, I can't help wondering if it shouldn't have been on (And gramatically, the copy-writer might like to look at this on apostrophes, or indeed this on commas.)

Post Baccalaureate

What is a post-baccalaureate plan? A non-degree seeking deficiency plan prepared from transcript evaluations that specifies the course work and requirements a person holding at least a bachelor's degree needs to complete the undergraduate academic requirements for the Didactic Program in Dietetics at the University of Houston.

If you have a bachelors degree from a US accredited institution and are interested in pursuing a career in dietetics, you could apply for the Post- baccalaureate plan. Please read plan requirements to determine eligibility.

Sample Plan | Plan Requirements

Steps in obtaining a post-baccalaureate plan:

  • Attach a complete set of transcripts from every college or university attended.  Transcripts from coursework completed at the UH main campus are not required, however.

  • All foreign degrees must be evaluated by a CDR-Approved Nonprofit Validation Agency. The evaluation must include a listing of each course completed and the US equivalency, including numbers of hours and grade received. A list of approved agencies can be found on the American Dietetic Association website:

  • If you are not a current or former UH student, you must apply through the Office of Admissions. Admission to the University of Houston is a separate process.

  • If you are a former UH student and have been out of the university for more than 13 months, you must re-apply as a former student through the Office of Admissions:

  • If you are a current UH student or a former UH student who has not been out of the university for more than 13 months, you may need to fill out a general petition to update your records. Please contact the program advisor for more information.

  • The department may request course descriptions or syllabi for courses completed elsewhere if further information is needed to determine equivalency.

Requirements for Earning a Verification Statement

A verification statement is an official document that certifies successful completion of a baccalaureate degree and the requirements of an Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) accredited program. A verification statement is required to qualify for application to a dietetic internship. UH students must complete the program with a GPA of 3.0 in the Didactic Program required coursework to qualify for a verification statement.

Steps to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN):

  • Completion of a bachelor's degree.

  • Request a completed Post Baccalaureate Plan for the Didactic Program in Dietetics from the Didactic Program Advisor at the University of Houston.
  • Complete the required academic courses specified on the plan.

  • Upon completion of the academic requirements on the plan, obtain a Verification Statement from the Didactic Program Director at the University of Houston.

  • Submit an application for entry into a supervised practice Dietetic Internship Program. A directory of supervised practice programs is available from the Didactic Program Director or may be obtained by contacting:

    Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics
    120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000
    Chicago, Illinois 60606-6995
    Phone: 800/877-160

It's A Theocracy I Tell You ...

Did you know that no feast day of the Church can fall in Holy Week ?

Easter's very early this year, and two feast days fall in that week - St Patrick on the 17th and St Joseph on the 19th.

So Paddy's been moved back to this Friday, the 14th, and St Joseph to the 15th.

And as all racegoers know, where St Patrick goes, the Cheltenham Drinking Festival is sure to follow.

(This annual drinking festival also features some kind of horse-racing, traditionally watched in an on-course bar over a sea of heads).

Ukulele & Languages

Different countries,
Different cultures
one common language... the ukulele.

Paris Ukulele Bazar, 17th of April 2010

27 2010

I have made up my mind to try and attend the Paris Ukulele Bazar, organised by the Ukulele Club de France, which will take place on the 17th of April 2010.

I don’t know anyone from the team even though I am French, so it is about time I met some more French ukulele players.  The Paris Ukulele Bazar seems like a perfect opportunity to do so.

The venue is Les 3 Baudets in the 18th district of Paris, not far from Montmartre.

Among other things the programme includes an exhibition of ukulele pictures and drawings, workshops for both children and adults, the screening of a documentary on the association Ukuleles for Peace, the screening of the ukulele documentary The Mighty Uke.

Ken Middleton will be there with his Ohana ukes as will  Musique83 , the internet ukulele shop from which I bought my last uke, and a Parisian string instruments shop owned by Rosyne and François Charle.

This will be followed by an Apéro-concert where you will be able to enjoy Tiki drinks, Elvis sandwiches and Hawaiian pupus while listening to various members of the Paris Ukulele Hui (Parisian ukulele club) and find out if you have won anything from the big raffle.

From 20:30, a series of acts will display their ukulele talents. Those include Belgian Ukulelezaza, British Hugh Coltman, French Eddy La Gooyatsh, Canadian Shelley O’Brien, French Fay Lovsky et Dominique Cravic with Claire Elzière, Cyril LeFebvre, Bertrand Saint-Guillain, Jano, KrRrk, and the Hot Club de Pom-Pom Gali and Jicé and Benj.

For full details, visit

If you intend to go there, let me know in the comments.

    Sounds like fun, but don’t forget the Fluke.
    I mentioned some Paris photo possibilities before,
    and a couple of new ones might be by the Centre
    Pompidou and with an ice cream at Berthillon on the
    Ile St. Louis. That last one sounds delicious even without a ukulele. The most fun though is simply
    to improvise on the spot when completely unexpected
    delights arise. Plenty of wonderful chocolate shops to visit, too, Armelle.

  2. Flamby1er on the 27th of March 2010 @ 19:24

    See you in Paris Armelle! We gonna have a stand among other ukulele clubs.

  3. Armelle Europe on the 28th of March 2010 @ 12:16

    PotOfBasil :
    Ron, rest assured that the Fluke will travel along.

    I am not so sure about taking Fluke pictures in Paris though, it’s not like you can drop your Fluke somewhere and go back a few steps to take a picture unless you really want someone to nick it.

    Flamby1er :
    It’ll be nice to see you in Paris, Alex!

  4. Jason on the 14th of April 2010 @ 14:15

    Just found your blog whilst looking for the Paris Bazaaar 2010… Great blog.
    I can’t come to the Paris Bazaar :(
    I am in Mauritius and, like you last year, have never met another uke player !
    Been playing since 31st December 2009… just one simple song recorded so far : (I am the blue cat, my wife is the black cat)

    Have fun

  5. Armelle Europe on the 14th of April 2010 @ 20:41

    Jason : thanks for the feedback on the blog.
    Catacou seems like a nice program. Maybe I should try it out for my sons.
    I hope you will get to meet other uke players at some stage, playing with others is always a good source of progress. Or maybe you will eventually teach others how to play it !

  6. Jason on the 15th of April 2010 @ 05:10

    Try it out. Sign up as a beta-tester :

    I am trying to ‘recruit’… but it ain’t easy as ukes are not available here.
    I am having to buy mine ‘blind’ (ie without trying them), and have had mixed luck so far. Not a fan of Ohana Tenor or Mahalo soprano. BIG fan of Lanikai concert.
    Until I can get to acountry whereI can try before I buy, I’m stuck with what I have, I suppose !
