December 27 - St. John the Apostle and Evangelist
+ St John the Apostle and Evangelist was a son of Zebedee and Salome, brother of St James the Greater and a fisherman; he with his brother James were called the sons of thunder, due to the enthusiasm with which they approached the work of the apostolate when they were disciples of Jesus.
John was first a disciple of John the Baptist and then a friend of St. Peter. He was called by Jesus to be a disciple (and later Apostle) during the first year of his ministry, and traveled everywhere with him, becoming so close as to be known as the beloved disciple. He took part in the Last Supper, and was given pride of place there, when Jesus allowed him to express his love for him by laying his head on his chest during the meal, and the next day was the only one of the Twelve not to forsake the Savior in the hour of his Passion, standing at the foot of the cross, with Mary the Mother of Jesus, whom he received into his home at Jesus’ request.
Upon hearing of the resurrection, John was the first to reach the tomb; when he with the Eleven met the risen Lord at the lake of Tiberias, he was the first to recognize him. During the era of the new Church, he worked in Jerusalem and at Ephesus. He wrote the fourth Gospel, three Epistles, and most likely the Book of Revelation. He was the last of the Twelve to die, as a special grace and favor of the Lord to whom he was indeed the beloved.
In fact, the Incarnation of God’s love found in Jesus was ever the theme of John’s entire life and preaching: when he was very old, and there were gatherings of Christians, John would simply say to them: “My little children, love one another.” John died in exile, most likely on the island of Patmos, the only Apostle not submitted to a martyr’s death: not that he was not willing, but by God’s favor.
May we today pray for the grace to understand fully the mystery of the Word-Made-Flesh, (as fully as he wishes to reveal it to each of us, which will be on a different depth and level for each of us, and the enormity of the Divine Love for all of Creation that is found in the manger of Bethlehem, a place which sang sweetly of the fact that now with the arrival of this Babe-Messiah, all is well, all is really well for those who want it to be: may our lives reflect the life of the one in whom we are indeed baptized and sent to tell the “good news” story of: Christ the Lord.
Rejoice in the Lord, you just.

The syllogistic rule, or the rule of writing syllogistics, is the most important piece of law knowledge, according to a new study.
The study, conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, shows that syllogists need to understand what the law means, how it is used, and how to interpret its meaning.
The study is the first to focus on syllogistically-driven law, as opposed to a more general legal rule that requires legal reasoning, and it’s the first study to focus specifically on how law is taught.
The researchers say that this study will provide a powerful framework for educators, policymakers, and practitioners, who will be able to better understand how to teach syllogist students how to use the law.
In addition to providing guidance on how to create syllogis for students to learn, the study also shows how to prepare syllogitists for the task of analyzing the law in an analytical manner.
The authors use a sample syllog, “A B C D” to show how the syllogic rule is used in a sample law textbook.
This syllog is a sample text that has been written by a law professor.
The authors found that syllOGist students need to take a closer look at the text and interpret it in terms of their own understanding of the law and the legal rules in question.
In order to understand the law as it is written in this text, students need the understanding of how the law is applied in the world, according the study.
This analysis shows how the rule is applied when there is a distinction between two sets of legal facts, such as when the facts involve the same legal action or situation, or when two legal facts are related.
Students need to evaluate the text to determine if it describes the legal facts in a way that is relevant to the legal situation.
The paper’s authors also provide guidance on what to do when the syllOGis doesn’t match up with the legal rule.
For example, students could choose to use different types of legal information to make their own syllogical choices, which might make the syllogs more useful.


Big Question #1: What makes this book good?Dog Tales is a good book because of how all the dogs are always together and trying to tell Mavis that shes not a dog a goat but in a nice way. I also like this book because it is funny and the dogs are always going on an adventure.
Big Question #2: What would make this book better?This book would be better if the author put a little more detail in some parts when they are just sitting there watching Dog Hospital because it wasn’t that interesting in that part. You also could have not put as many pictures in so the reader could imagine there own pictures.
Big Question #3: What’s the one most important thing the author wants you to know?Emily wants you to know that dogs are a good animal and are good because you can play with them and have fun.
Big Question #4: Why did the writer write this?Emily wrote this book to tell you that dogs are a fun loving pet. Also Because if there is someone that doesn’t feel like they fit in, to say they do and there exactly the same as everyone no better or worse. Everyone is just the exact same.
Big Question #5: What does the audience need to know to understand and enjoy the book?First Mavis is actually a goat and not a dog but she thinks shes a dog and the other dogs are trying to tell her shes not a dog in a nice way not t upset her.

(Full reviews available upon request)
"....I was foggy on what was happening inside me as I read, perhaps because, due to personal experience, I struggle to find anything in myself other than anger when it comes to alcoholics. But when I finished this book, I felt like I’d been day-drinking, happily, in a dark establishment with someone wise and, if not exactly joyful, joyful adjacent. Someone who felt grateful, perhaps, to still be here. Somehow, despite everything Berlin endured and wrestled with, she found gratification inside or between the moments that make up any given day, and she put it on the page for us as an offering, or a reminder, or both."
"....I was captivated by Eileen, and by Eileen. Most women probably relate to her more than they’d want to admit—to her alienation from her body, to her awe of and fascination with beautiful people who move through the world with ease, to the lengths to which she is willing to go in order to feel seen and valued. By the time I got to the line “...I was too impatient to be truly smart” at the bottom of the first page, I thought maybe I’d found a kindred spirit, albeit one who was probably about to do something terrible—I could only hope she had a good reason. The device Moshfegh uses of 74-year-old “Lena,” aka Eileen, narrating for her 24-year-old self reassured me that Eileen was at least going to make it out of the story, so I was able to...relax? No. Get on the ride? Yes."
"There are two pieces of flash fiction that precede the masterwork of Hempel’s short story collection Sing to It, the soul-crushing “A Full-Service Shelter.” At barely half a page long each, every word meticulously chosen, they read like prose poems. The first, “Sing to It,” references the Arab proverb, “When danger approaches, sing to it.” This feels like guidance from Hempel—particularly for people who are defenseless against beautiful, intuitive writing—on how to navigate her book without despairing. The second story, “The Orphan Lamb,” warns readers that they will spend time inside the bleeding skin of others, and perhaps feel and consider things they neither want to feel nor consider. I appreciated Hempel’s counsel, and I did make it through without succumbing to despair, largely because her work, even when bleak, is shot through with wisdom and acceptance in unlikely places..."
"Sarah Canary by Karen Joy Fowler is described by several reviewers as a romp, which I believe to be a gross mischaracterization. A romp is playful, carefree, and light. While this book is certainly funny at times, and a wild ride of a Western, the plot is driven by cruelty and ugliness in many forms—misogyny, racism, bias against mental illness, to name a few. It’s about three people—each a second-class citizen for different reasons in the American Northwest at the end of the 19th century—brought together by a mysterious figure—who may or may not be human— whom they call Sarah Canary. Together they go to great lengths to help each other survive the hatred and violence that is directed at them. How can this be a romp? (Is this where someone tells me to lighten up? That I take things too seriously?) Also unlike a romp, Sarah Canary is structured in a unique and complex fashion. (Perhaps I am not giving romps enough credit?) Fowler masterfully weaves together history and fiction, interspersing the characters' stories with short chapters of historical and social context of the post-Civil War era. These chapters set up the subsequent sections of the narrative, and serve to remind or educate the reader about what life was like for the 'other' at this time. Needless to say, the picture is not pretty..."
"....Of Bolaño’s many achievements with Last Evenings on Earth, the most remarkable is the way that disappearance and exile permeate the pages without his writing about them directly. His brilliance lies in making the reader feel the emotional impact through stories that simply stop, like a trail gone cold, and characters who don’t—can’t—expect consistency or permanence from anyone or anything, as if the concepts don’t exist, or if they do, couldn’t possibly apply to them. They drift through life looking for a foothold but unable to find one. Perhaps Bolaño’s message is that the living, forced by a violent regime to abandon home, are ultimately rendered more ghostlike than the loved ones who haunt them from the mournful purgatory of the disappeared."
"....The Rings of Saturn transcends. It transcends form and somehow, in doing so, transcends devastation and destruction. This must be the aforementioned 'radiance and resilience of the human spirit' that I could not quite grasp initially. Radiance and resilience live in Sebald’s juxtaposition of erudition and accessibility that is somehow uplifting, inviting, and communal. It is in his effortless shifts of style and genre which, in lesser hands, would seem like grandstanding, but in his feel like a valiant struggle to find the most effective way to reach as many of us as possible. What Sebald does is exquisite, and actually, attempting to define or explain it is unnecessary. Perhaps it’s more appropriate to end with a quote from Mrs. Ashbury, who, in contemplating her ghostly existence, living in her dilapidated ruin of a house, defines our very existence while in conversation with Sebald: “All of us are fantasists, ill-equipped for life...,” she says, “...life is just one great, ongoing, incomprehensible blunder." How right you are, Mrs. Ashbury. How right you are."
"....I had to put down The Babysitter at Rest a few times to take a break from George’s unflinching insight into women who expend so much energy meeting other people’s needs that self-actualization is impossible and any pleasure accidental. But her stories can’t be escaped. They command attention not only because of their delicious absurdity and humor, but because of their insistence that women see themselves in these paradoxically unique and archetypal characters. It turns out this absurdly funny book is a subversive call to arms, a demand that we begin the process of purging the misogynistic nonsense we’ve all internalized so successfully that we’re no longer sure where it stops and we begin. It might be too late, George’s worldview seems to suggest, but it might also be worth a try."
"....It took me several pages to settle into Poschmann’s sly humor, but the revelation that Gilbert—a self-involved man at a crossroads and having a breakdown of sorts while traveling in Japan—is an academic who specializes in beard styles snapped the tone into focus for me. As I got to know Gilbert, his work took on an amusing symbolism. Whether pondering himself or others, he focuses only on the beard and misses the face—he cannot see the forest for the trees. It is this extreme myopia that he endeavors to leave behind as he journeys through Japan. The most interesting thing about the book is that the author allows Gilbert to change only slightly. He doesn’t master the art of appreciation, isn’t transformed by travel, and still can’t escape his own aesthetic or his impulse to impose it on everyone and everything around him, but his approach to life is now just a bit less rigid."
"According to Léger, Loden said, 'Wanda’s character is based on my own life and character.... Everything comes from my own experience. Everything I do is me' (pg. 30). But this deep connection between actress and character is only the beginning of the metaphysical in this book. As Léger shifts between retelling the movie, recounting the factual events of Loden’s experience supplemented with fiction, and illuminating the ways in which her own life—and the life of her mother—intersects with the lives of all the women in the book, a dizzying mirror-within-a-mirror-within-a-mirror quality comes to light. Léger is reflecting on herself and her mother through the prism of Loden, who reflected on Alma to create Wanda, and the five women are thus connected in a fractal sisterhood."

FUNdamental Soccer for
Review by Eric Blommer
This book is written in comic book format which can drive you crazy but seems to be comforting to new coaches. It is the fourth of a four book series on FUNdamental soccer. It is probably the best series I know for a brand new "volunteer" to use to get started. This book is a little different than the others in this series in that it is addressed to the parents of young soccer players. It assumes they know nothing about the game and tries to teach the basics. I found it useful for preparing information for my first meeting with parents at the beginning of a new team. You might wish that all parents had to read this book in order to sign their kid up, but it ain't gonna happen. So, you read the book and pass the information on at parents meetings and in newsletters. You might carry the book with you to games to lend to some of the more "helpful" parents.
Review by Soccer-for-Parents
If you want to learn about soccer FAST this is the book for you.
The title is very appropriate. This book is for clueless parents. The book briefly goes over the FUNdamentals of soccer in every aspect you could possibly need as a parent. Koach Karl reviews equipment for soccer and how to select it. Actually, he agrees with me – or maybe I agree with him. Maybe that’s why I love his stuff.
He explains the basic skills needed for attackers and for defenders. This section alone is worth the price of the book. With each skill is a diagram showing proper and improper technique, as well as an explanation. He also shows the proper technique for passing and shooting.
As a parent new to soccer, this book is the perfect introduction to the sport and a great primer on helping your child acquire the basic skills needed to be successful in the sport. As a “volunteer” coach this book is a MUST to learn about the basic soccer skills so you can begin teaching them to your team.
I regret to say that many kids suffered from my ignorance when I first started coaching. Please, don’t make my mistake!
Don’t wait for shipping.

This book is a part of a superb educational package for new soccer parents or coaches. It is called the Clueless Parents 3-pack. Click on the link to check it out. This is an outstanding buy and will further educate you on the Laws of the Game and explain basic soccer tactics and a great method for teaching the kids.

The beginnings of the 12
Seven years earlier, another master of the instrument had already prepared the way with a preliminary work in the realm of chamber music. In 1920, Julius Klengel, the cello virtuoso, teacher and composer, wrote his 'Hymn' for twelve cellos; together with eleven of his chosen students, he is said to have presented it to his friend Arthur Nikisch (principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra from 1895 to 1922) as a serenade for the latter's 65th birthday. Two years later, the work had its first - and for a long time last - performance: the solemn movement with its bold opening was played at Nikisch's funeral in late January of 1922. But fifty years later, this curiosity of the Leipzig virtuoso and composer made possible an historical event. With the rediscovery of Klengel's work began the history of the Twelve Cellists, a history now encompassing 25 years.
It came about like this: certain well-informed and resourceful Salzburg producers had uncovered this music-historical singularity in an archive. They asked the most important festival orchestra of their city, the Berlin Philharmonic, whether its cello section would be available for a public radio broadcast recording of the dedication hymn. The musicians agreed. The undertaking was a resounding success, and it called for a continuation. But two important preconditions still had to be fulfilled: pieces for a repertoire, and a manager for concert appearances.

Or Neerav/”The Sweet Light”: An Introduction to Kabbalah
Mon, January 18 at 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:00pm on Monday, repeating until Mon, May 31, 2021
One of the greatest of all Kabbalists, R. Moshe Cordovero (or “Ramak,” 1520-1570, Safed, Land of Israel), wrote a primer on Jewish mystical doctrines to encourage all Jews to explore this secret realm. This relatively short work is available on Sefaria.
To mark Ramak’s 500th birthday, please join Rabbi Kalmanofsky for a weekly spiritual and intellectual adventure into the teachings and techniques that make Kabbalah one of the world’s great mystical traditions. (I promise: no red strings, no holy water. Just a holy book from a spiritual master.)

Besides, place the word “Persian” in square brackets at the end of transliterated references.
For in-text citing a number in square brackets is allocated to a resource in the order in which it is cited in the text. If the source is referred to again, the same number is used.
Example: ...as one author has put it “the darkest days were still ahead” : which is well documented in the literature [2-5]. This proves that “the darkest days were still ahead” .
Note: the “[2-5]” refers to references 2 to 5 (i.e. 2,3,4, and 5) but if you like to mention references 2 AND 5 you should cite them in text as “[2,5]”. Numbers should be inserted to the left of colons, semicolons, and full stops. The author’s name can also be integrated into the text; e.g. Scholtz  has argued that...
For preparation of final list of references use following general guides according to the Vancouver Style.

The earliest settlers in the Forbes district were squatters and it was some
of these men who discovered the first gold in the area in June 1861. Over the next few months approximately
30,000 people came to the diggings, with storekeepers, publicans and others,
providing services for them.
By 1863 the rush had died down and many diggers had moved on to other
diggings. The town became a
service centre for the pastoralists, and in 1870 was declared a municipality,
with the first mayor being Thomas Hand.

The Catholic Medical Association and its history in Northern Virginia
For the most succinct read on the history and apostolate of the NFCPG (National Federation of Catholic Physicians Guilds) you need only look to the Website for the CMA (Catholic Medical Association. )
The formation of the NFCPG focused on the collective gatherings of doctors, known as guilds, from around the United States with roots that were truly international. The organization would later be reidentified as the Catholic Medical Association. In the first case we have guilds while in the latter case the focus on membership looks to individual members. The CMA website well demonstrates the devastating affect set upon the guilds by the promotion of Contraceptives in the 1960’s and the rebellion that followed the Papal Encyclical known as, Humanae Vitae. Thus proving the old axiom, “Where there is a Moral problem look for a Faith problem and where there is a Faith problem look for a Moral problem.
In more recent years the call to evangelization by all Catholics has had a very positive impact on the ranks of the Catholic Medical Association. With recent papal efforts the efforts of promoting a Catholic identity in medicine has enjoyed a vibrant renaissance.
Again, please read the CMA website for the great work that is taking place with the current CMA efforts. Consideration of the Life of the Catholic medical guild in the Washington area, most notably, Northern Virginia.
In the 1950’s there were over sixty members in Washington Metropolitan area who were associated with the National Federation of Catholic Physicians Guilds. There was a hungry enthusiasm to share the spotlight of a Catholic identity in the Art of Medicine. This would all change in the time of Humane Vitae in 1968. At this time the Washington Guild would cease to function.
In 1994 a number of former members of the local medical guild approached Rev. James R. Gould, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Arlington, to initiate a new club for the doctors. Again, like the earlier initiatives of the NFCPG the interest in the project was to promote an Catholic identity in the medical apostolates that were academic, social, and spiritual. The doctors proposed a trial run inviting friends to join them to hear Msgr. Lorenzo Alicetti at the Washington Golf and Country Club, in Arlington. The good monsignor spoke on the importance of a medical work motivated and supported by
virtue. The gathering was a great success and the Arlington guild was up and running.
Dr. Bud Andres would take the lead in 1994 and would be followed by Dr. Bill Hogan a year later.
The members of the 1994 collective were:
Dr. Francis (“Bud”) Andres | Dr. Billie Byrne | Dr. Ed Soma | Dr. Ed Sheridan | Dr. Lorenzo Marcolin | Dr. Dick Delaney | Dr. Bill Colliton | Dr. Bill Hogan | Dr. Bernie Aillig | Dr. Hanna Claus (Natural Family Planning for Teens) | Dr. Richard Hart Jr.
The earlier projects of the 1994 Guild involved a Doctors Reading Group, which gathered at the home of Dr. Richard Hart. Lectures were set to involve. Dr. Edmund Pellegrino, of Georgetown; Fr. Robert Sokolowski and Dr. William May, of Catholic University. Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and Fr. Gus Dinoia. And a First Friday Mass was offered at Fairfax Hospital and Holy Cross Hospital, with luncheon to follow.
In the years that followed the Archdiocese of Washington would invite the Washington Doctors to form a separate guild under the “umbrella” of the John Carroll Society, an Archdiocesan Organization for attorneys. The Virginians, with the leadership of Dr Marie Anderson and Dr. John Brucholski would form their own guild under the Arlington Diocese. Bishop Paul S. Loverde assigned Fr. Kevin Walsh to be chaplain for the guild.


TUESDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Patients in intensive care unit rooms previously occupied by someone with antibiotic-resistant bacteria may be at heightened risk of acquiring these dangerous infections, a U.S. study finds.
Two kinds of bacteria -- methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) -- are major causes of illness and death in hospitals.
The study, by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, included more than 8,200 patients, average age 61, who totaled 11,528 stays at eight ICUs between 2003 and 2005. Of these patients, 809 had MRSA, and 658 had VRE upon admittance to the ICU.
Of the remaining patients, 14 percent stayed in rooms in which the prior occupant had MRSA, and 13 percent stayed in rooms in which the prior occupant had VRE.
These patients were more likely to acquire these bacteria than patients in rooms previously occupied by patients who did not have these bacteria (4.5 percent vs. 2.8 percent for VRE and 3.9 percent vs. 2.9 percent for MSRA).
Reporting in the Oct. 9 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, the researchers concluded that this added risk factor accounted for 5.1 percent of all new cases of MRSA and 6.8 percent of all new cases of VRE.
This increase in risk was present even though the hospitals in the study had room-cleaning procedures that exceeded U.S. national guidelines. This suggests that these guidelines do not prevent transmission of disease-causing bacteria, the study authors said.
"Additional data are needed to determine whether more intensive cleaning practices can reduce the risk further and, if so, whether this is worthwhile in a resource-limited system," the authors concluded.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about MRSA (www.nlm.nih.gov ).


A group of faculty, staff and students from Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry traveled to College Station, Texas, Jan. 16 to attend the HSC-wide convocation held at the Leonore and Walter Annenberg Presidential Conference Center at the George Bush Library Complex.
The convocation is a biennial event that brings together faculty, staff and students from all HSC components to celebrate the HSC’s achievements and future endeavors. The theme of this year’s event was “Blueprint for the Future.”
Carrying the dental school’s gonfalon, fourth-year dental student Jonathan Calderon led the HSC-BCD faculty during the procession.
HSC President Dr. Nancy W. Dickey presented two HSC-BCD faculty members – Dr. Stephen Griffin, professor and director of clinics, and Dr. Eric Solomon, executive director of institutional research – with Presidential Awards of Excellence during the ceremony. (See Awards and Honors)
Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Antonia C. Novello delivered the keynote address in which she implored students from each of the HSC components to serve their communities with compassion and an open eye to the underserved populations.
Additional remarks were provided by A&M System Chancellor Dr. Michael D. McKinney, A&M System Board of Regents Chairman Bill Jones, Speaker of the Faculty Senate Dr. Catherine Hawes and student leader Nina M. Williams, who is 2008 chair of the President’s Student Advisory Board.
Earlier in the day, the HSC and the City of Bryan, Texas, hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking for a campus that will allow the HSC to consolidate its Bryan-College Station academic programs and into a single campus. The first buildings are expected to open in 2010.


I’m slightly in shock. My dad, a retired mechanical engineer who always said fiction was a waste of time, just told me the whole plot of the second Karen Kingsbury’s Christian romance novel he’s listened to.
He requested this one after he heard the first one from the Library for the Blind. He choked up a couple times sharing the story with me. Oh, my sweet daddy.
He says listening to these books reminds him of his own love story with mom. He says, “We knew we loved each other right away. Now she can’t share these memories with me. She doesn’t even know we’re married.”
So he takes some comfort in these stories. And he says they take his mind off his worries and give him a break from the stresses.
And I remind him that when they are in heaven together Mom will remember their stories. And Dad replies with confidence, “Oh yes. We’re counting on that.”
And so I am choked up and misty now, thinking what a dear and tender daddy I am blessed with. And I’m thankful he’s discovered what I’ve known for decades—Christian fiction can be worth our time. And in case you are wondering, the novel he just listened to is titled Loving.
And I think that title describes my Dad so well.

About: Evie has lived her entire life under her abusive father’s thumb. He controls everything. Where she goes to college, who she sees, what she does. But when she meets Van—a punk who shows her how different life could be—she realizes how much she’s been missing.Van offers her excitement, protection, love…and most of all, sex—even if he’s at first reluctant to give her all the things she’s been craving. She wants to explore this new world of arousal and desire, but Van is only too aware of how fragile she is, how innocent…And how much is at stake, when their love is forbidden.
Review: Innocently sensual, sizzlingly sexual, Sheltered is the perfect blend of innocence, love, heat and trust.
I can truly and honestly say that Sheltered is one of my favorite read this year and I nearly wept when I came to the end. I want more more more!! I LOVE Evie and Van and I love what they have together. Van is many women's dream - hot, sexy, caring, a gentleman and did I mention HOT?! He deeply cares and cherishes Evie and will do anything to protect her and keep her safe from those she should be able to trust the most.
All of her life, Evie has been deeply sheltered from "real" life. Her father is beyond strict, abusive and cruel. She has never been exposed to music, movies, or any type of typical culture that teens, adults and children are exposed to. The fact that she has met a boy is sin that is sure to send her straight to hell - after her Dad kills her. Yes, this is a very real threat - I truly despised her father.
Needless to say, Evie is an innocent in every sense of the word. When she meets Van, her body begins to feel things that it has never felt before and he opens up an entirely new world to her - not just physically, but emotionally as well. The feelings that form between the two are all encompassing and drew me in deeply.
Sheltered is, indeed hot and sizzling, but in a way that is sweet. Van is such an amazingly caring man and does not want to push Evie into anything at all. He is the one that puts the halt to many encounters, not wanting to rush their relationship. The chemistry smokes from the pages and the emotions tug deeply at the heart. This is a story that blends true emotions, feelings and desire with an excellent story line that I could not get enough of. I am not one to reread books - simply because I have so many to read, however this is one that I know I will reread. Sheltered is the second book by Ms. Stein that I have read and I can say that I adore her work and plan on reading everything she has written that I can get my hands on. Also, I want to mention that this is a story that is on the erotica side, however that aspect is very mild - meaning there are no whips and chains, kinky sex, toys or anything of that sort. It is simply sweet, hot and full of emotions.
Before I end, I want to send a HUGE plead to Ms. Stein to write another book focusing on Evie and Van and their life together!! Pretty please?!?!
Quote: She hadn't meant it, and suspected that he definitely hadn't. He's seemed averse to moving their suddenly passionate kiss to the couch, and had absolutely opposed anything like lying down.
But after a while they'd ended up like this anyway - the back of her head almost on the arm of the seat. His body over hers, solid and glorious. If she shifted just a little he'd be between her legs, and then what?
Oh God, then what?
"Evie, stop," he said between kisses. She should have been relieved. She should have, but really all she could feel was the heavy and constant ache between her legs. How warm it made her feel, how daring.
And of course it only got worse when he said, "God, baby, you're so greedy."
It didn't even humiliate her. Somehow he made it sound like the sweetest, sexiest compliment, and when she pushed a hand through his hair and tried to get him to kiss her again, his lips parted. A ripple seemed to go through his body, as though it affected him as strongly as it affected her.

You can find birds, well, just about anywhere. You see them every day, on the street, outside your school, your office, your home. But how often do you really notice them? How many can you name? Dozens of bird species live and breed here in Lawrence, right under our noses.
Tomorrow, Tuesday April 16th, 2013 at 6:30 pm join the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library in learning about the beautiful and diverse birds to be found in Lawrence’s own Den Rock Park as well as the surprising bird life found throughout the more urban areas of Lawrence. Susan Hegarty, author of The Birds of Den Rock Park and Ben Padilla, from Groundwork, will be presenting a slide show at the main library, 51 Lawrence Street, Lawrence, MA.
There will also be information provided on some exciting new habitat improvement and art projects going on at Manchester Street Park! Hope to see you there!


BiSL Next describes the framework of the next generation of the Business Information Services Library, BiSL®.
What is BiSL® Next?
BiSL next was the first iteration of change to ABF guidance about business information management. The focus became governance, strategy and improvement of all IT-powered business services to reflect the way that modern business is now almost entirely reliant on IT. BiSL next did not attempt to rewrite the ITIL-based operational guidance of BiSL, instead focusing on the broad range of IT capabilities necessary in the digital age.
The BiSL Next book
The first book in the DID series takes the BiSL next book as its starting point and builds on the issues discussed as well as amplifying operational guidance issues. As such, the current BiSL next Foundation book will not be further revised but will remain in circulation. It will be particularly useful for those organisations that have implemented operational BIM guidance and now wish to establish initial plans for governance and strategic improvement.
The BiSL Next Framework
BiSL Next is a public domain standard for business information management with guiding principles, good practices and practical templates.
It offers guidance for digitally engaged business leaders and those who collaborate with them, with the ultimate goal to improve business performance through better use of information and technology.


|Resources For Teachers|
|My goal for this WebQuest is that it will serve two purposes. First, to provide my 5th graders experience with the criteria used to evaluate websites and second, to provide a list of Missions' resources to use for a California Missions Resource Website. |
The impetus for this idea was that so many of the websites about the Missions have good information but they do not list the sources used. I felt, since we are one of the few schools blessed with the opportunity to be at a Mission, that we should use our skills and experiences to create a website that could be used as a comprehensive resource for fourth grade teachers and students. The site is currently a work in process and I hope to have it finished by Spring of 2006.

The Performance Of The Gravitas Act In The Architectural Products
The importance of the act of gravitas in architecture show as a normative rule on the sublimity and nobility of architectural products, through the characteristics of objective rationality and social interaction which is characterized by the act of gravitas such as clam, persistence, seriousness and others . Thus, a series of architectural studies and invitations have recently emerged to restore the gravitas of architectural product, having been overshadowed by the features of manipulation, ironic, softness, self-selectivity and other features that contradict the characteristics of the gravitas act.
The studies implicitly or explicitly introduce a set of performance characteristics to achieve the act of gravitas in the architectural output, but did not refer to it as a special study and a comprehensive collection that can be referred to as a standard rule or design characteristics that benefit the designer in building his architectural work (the research problem). The general objective of the research is consistent with the calls for a return to values in architectural products, and specifically seeks to find the characteristics of the performance of the act of gravitas in the architectural output to reach the most important mechanisms and
formal elements. The research adopted a synthetic analytical approach between the supporting studies and the architectural studies to derive a comprehensive theoretical framework for the performance of the act of gravitas in architectural output. And then its application to test the hypotheses. The research found two
fundamental aspects of the performance of the gravitas, a formal aspect, which was characterized by the repose of form and gravity of form, and an interactive aspect related to the characteristics of the form associated with human and society and represented the value commitment in form and strictness in form.

Interplay: (Re)Finding and (Re)Framing Cinematic Experience, Film Space, and the Child's World
Through the first gate,
Into our first world, shall we follow […]?
– T.S. Eliot (1)
[I]f play is neither inside nor outside, where is it?
– D.W. Winnicott (2)
There is a state of mind in which things are found. It is an experience of finding something that already exists, but which had not yet been discovered.
– Claire Pajaczkowska (3)
[T]he more recognition there is of the dependence of one’s own involvement with the work of others, both individually and as a field of work, the more there is something to be found and used in its turn.
– Lesley Caldwell (4)

My video Interplay, which began as a kind of audiovisual doodle, ended up as a free adaptation of an evolving thread in the film theoretical writing of Annette Kuhn, the scholar to whom it pays warm tribute. (5) This thread, which touches on cinematic experience, film space, and the world of the child, extends over more than twenty years in Kuhn’s work (coincidentally, the period of time in which I have been fortunate to know her). It weaves its way through a moving exploration of her childhood experience of Alexander Mackendrick’s Mandy (1952), (6) her various discussions of child characters, play and cinematic space in My Ain Folk (Bill Douglas, 1973), Ratcatcher (Lynne Ramsay, 1999), Distant Voices, Still Lives (Terence Davies, 1988) and Where is the Friend’s Home? (Abbas Kiarostami, 1987), (7) through to chapters by her in her groundbreaking edited collection Little Madnesses: Winnicott, Transitional Phenomena and Cultural Experience (2013). (8) The direct citation from one of these works at the end of the video, which firmly anchors Interplay in the world of Kuhn’s scholarship, runs the worthwhile risk of tautology, offering a retrospective epigraph that reframes, or crystallises in verbal discourse, all that has preceded it.
As the title of this recent book indicates, over the years Kuhn’s work has increasingly taken up and reworked, for film and media studies, insights about child development and the world of play from the writings of D.W. Winnicott, the English pediatrician and psychoanalyst who was especially influential in the field of object relations theory. (9) In this branch of psychoanalytic theory, following Winnicott, ‘objects’ can be physical and/or virtual, internal-external entities to which we relate: usually, ‘persons, parts of persons, or symbols of one of these’. (10) Perhaps the best-known example of this kind of relation is the one we have with ‘transitional objects’, as they are called by Winnicott, comforting physical objects (customarily, soft toys or blankets) that enable us as very young children to transition into an increasing separation from our mothers, or primary carers. (11) As Robert M. Young has argued of Winnicott’s notion, (transitional) objects develop into ‘a transitional [or “potential”] space “that is intermediate between the dream and the reality, that which is called cultural life”’. (12) An object relations framework, then, as Lavinia Gomez writes,
places the human being in a dual world of external and internal relationship. Each of these worlds affects the other. Our inner world is a changing dynamic process, with some more fixed and some more fluid patterns, both conscious and unconscious. These dynamics influence how we experience external reality and are also themselves influenced by our experience of external reality […]. (13)
Like Winnicott, Kuhn’s research in this field began with the urge to listen to a child. In her case, the child was herself, as a seven-year old, watching Mandy, a melodrama about a congenitally deaf girl (‘Mandy’, played by Mandy Miller) of the same age who, in the course of the film, learns to speak, and begins to overcome her painful isolation. Kuhn writes (both of herself, metaphorically, as well as Mandy),
The little girl wants to be heard, and children ask the hardest questions of all. The adult cannot pretend to offer all, or indeed perhaps any, of the right answers to the big questions the child's insistent interruptions pose for cultural theory and for film theory. But she can at least listen to what the little girl has to say. (14)
My (at once infantile and scholarly) messing around with audiovisual material from a number of the films Kuhn had written about began with this quotation. It had stuck in my head. I wondered what had happened to Miller after she had made Mandy, so I started to search for information and found a YouTube upload of an old gramophone recording of Miller singing the theme song from Child in the House, a 1956 British drama film directed by Cy Endfield, in which she appears as a (slightly older) child character struggling to cope with uncaring relatives. (15) I began to compose the video by using this recording as an auditory frame for the images. In this way, the voice of the (earlier mute) child becomes acousmatic, paradoxically reframed as a somewhat maternal, and certainly comforting, container for the images of often troubled and uncommunicative children haunting the original film footage.
The video focuses, as does Kuhn to an extent across her work on these films, on images of children daring to play, eventually letting themselves loose in the psychically risky (if uncontained) territory that Winnicott conceived of as potential space. They finally manage to inhabit actively, creatively, ‘the metaphorical boundary that divides internal from external, that either/or in which the object has traditionally been entrapped’ (André Green). (16)
In her work on cinema, Kuhn frequently focuses on the ways in which ‘the moving image releases objects in the frame from imprisonment within themselves.’ (17) It is this aspect of her writing – this matter of kinetic release – that, together with the facticity of the audiovisual material from the films themselves, compelled the most engaging comparative aspect of my video: the focus in its second half on the moving double-framings that abound in all these (and other) films about children and play, framings which indeed work cinematically to contain, enable and release the ‘children’s mobilities’ in these films, and connect these to (similarly contained, enabled and released) acts of spectating. (18) As we watch the children play we, too, move back and forth through these frames.
Phyllis Creme, author of a remarkable 1994 PhD thesis on the notion of the ‘Playing Spectator’ (which reached similar conclusions to Kuhn’s own enthralling discovery that ‘the secret of cinephilia’ is that ‘Cinema can be, or be like, a transitional phenomenon’), (19) argued that:
The playing spectator’s wish to take a part in the film-play activates a psychic movement into the space of the action on screen. […T]his move is effected through the interaction of the film's spatial operations and the spectator’s psychic shift into her ‘potential space’, the psychic area that Winnicott posits as the location for cultural experience. To put it the other way round, she internalises the film space — the combination of space and movement — and the film 'enters' her psyche. The process of luring and allurement of the spectator into the film is therefore one of activating her wishes, even longings, to be 'there', on screen, playing her part; the screen space makes available to her a playspace and, conversely, her ability to make use of her own potential space enables her to engage with the film and take up her place in it. (20)
These words transport me back to Mandy, and to Kuhn’s powerful reminiscence on it. The little girl and the adult film theorist have (re)found their space, as well as their voices, together inside and outside the frame of the screen. Reworking (or replaying) all of these elements through my video Interplay helped me to (re)discover, from the inside, as well as the outside, that one of Kuhn's most important contributions to film studies in her substantial and moving work on children, cinema and object relations theory is the potential space it has offered up for a deeply fruitful encounter between psychoanalysis, affect and memory studies, and a new kind of transitional phenomenology. Together with the work of Creme and other object-relations film and media theorists, Kuhn’s writings can help us move outside of the frameworks of scopophilia and voyeurism, and other (post-Freudian), mostly ocular-centric approaches to cinephilic pleasures and attachments. In their careful attention to time-based, conscious and unconscious, inside/outside interactions of cinematic spatiality, mobility, framing, proprioception, memory and play, they have opened up the possibility of a truly psychodynamic, not quite so narrowly psychoanalytic, approach to the study of the ‘everyday magic’ of the cinema and of our cultural experience of it.

Being one of the oldest university libraries in China the history of Zhejiang University Library can be traced back to 1897 when Qiushi Academy Library was founded. In September 1998 a new Zhejiang University was established on the basis of the amalgamation of the four former individual universities namely Zhejiang University Hangzhou University Zhejiang Agricultural University and Zhejiang Medical University. The libraries of these universities were correspondingly merged into the unified Zhejiang University Libraries (ZUL).
ZUL consists of five branch libraries in separate locations in Hangzhou: the Library of science and Technology in Yuquan Campus the Library of Art and Science in Xixi Campus the Library of Agriculture in Huajiachi Campus the Library of Medicine and the Library of Basic Subjects in Zijingang Campus. ZUL headquarter is in Yuquan Campus. The total building area of the libraries amounts to 86000 square meters with about 5300 seats.
The Ni Tiecheng Human and Arts Library financially sponsorted by the Hong Kong entrepreneur Mr. Ni Tiecheng and The Yuan Engineering Library donated by Chinese-Amarican scientist Dr.Yuan Shaowen are located in the Library of Science and Technology. The Zhejiang University Bank of Publications which contributed by its faculty and alumni is in the Library of Basic Subjects.


In honor of Women’s History Month in March, the Acadian Cultural Center is hosting the art of two local artists.
An exhibit featuring the art of Alice Wallce will be on view until May 28; another featuring work by Jerilyn LaVergne will be on view until May 29. Both are free and open to the public.
Alice Wallace’s exhibit will include dyed silk, marbled paper, and hand-carved puppets. Her puppets have performed in libraries, museums, schools, and festivals across the country. Wallace, who was raised in Lafayette, has little formal training. She taught herself to carve and learned silk dyeing from a local artist and paper marbling from YouTube.
Jerilyn LaVergne is a fused glass artist inspired by her need to record her life experiences by creating art from the whimsical to the soulful. Working out of her Sunset studio, she fuses brightly colored glass that includes abstract wind chimes, masks, and more. LaVergne grew up in Sunset and spent seven years in Nigeria, experiencing the West African culture, which expanded her interest in all art forms.
The Acadian Cultural Center is located at 501 Fisher Road in Lafayette and is open Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more information, call the center at 337-232-0789 or visit www.nps.gov/jela.

Four titles that encourage outdoor exercise: running and walking have always been synonymous with balance and creativity. In the words of books and writers
Sometimes we need particular inspiration in order to get off the sofa and start moving. I am an avid reader and today I want to share some titles that you might find interesting and useful as you start to exercise.
Walking and other distractions
This collection is an anthology for wayfarers and dreamers, in which walking is interpreted as a way of getting to know places, regions, ourselves. The editors have selected specific texts that focus on the many aspects of walking. Walking also involves those we meet along the way, something that several of the texts in this book touch upon. It’s a fascinating read also from an editorial standpoint, thanks to the inclusion of inspirational images. If you need a good reason to get out for a walk in the countryside or out of town, I think this is an excellent place to start. Pack a rucksack, throw in a book and a notebook and get going.
[Del camminare e altre distrazioni, edited by Francesca Cosi and Alessandra Repossi, Ediciclo Editore.]
The art of running
One of my absolute favourite books: The art of running by Japanese writer Aruki Murakami. A reflection on the relationship between creativity and running that analyses the continual parallels between the writer’s need for discipline and what running has taught him in terms of goals and the possibility to exceed one’s limits. If you’ve decided to become a “serious” runner but are seeking motivation that doesn’t only have to do with your physical potential, then this is the book for you.
Running is a philosophy
In this book, Gaia De Pascale explains the mechanisms that lead people to run and why running makes those who do it happier and more balanced. If you want to know which mechanism to appeal to, particularly the first times you head out with little desire to get moving, then try reading this book.
[Gaia De Pascale, Correre è una filosofia, Ponte alle Grazie]
Two steps from your destination: how to escape a sedentary lifestyle and nourish your creativity
As a final book, I timidly propose my own, written in 2016, in which I explain how I initially approached exercise and how walking, running and swimming help me to remind myself each day that in order to nourish my creativity, I must always remain two steps from my destination, never feeling that I have arrived but rather nurturing my curiosity, with both my body and mind.
