However, the senior faculty members who become members of board of study contribute their expertise for the revision and redesigning of the syllabus.

Here are my top rules for living YOUR best life.
How do you know when you are doing an excellent job as a parent, and more specifically, as a mom? How do you know that what you are doing is the best for your family?
One way that we tend to judge is we judge ourselves based on clips of another person’s life on social media. We look at their lives and make a quick decision about how this person has it figured out.
When you can see, their children looking and smiling at the camera simultaneously, pictures of husbands helping, and he seems to enjoy it, doesn’t even look coerced or bribed. How is this woman doing these things? How is her life so perfect?
Here are my top 5 rules to living YOUR best life.
Do not hinder progress with an unfair comparison of your life. Judging your life based on someone’s on social media is a definite way to hinder progress.
You cannot focus on what you and your family need if you are basing it on someone’s life. Negative thinking and self-doubt will keep you from being present with your life and enjoying the moment.
Do not make social media the standard. Social media offers the opportunity to create a perfect life; things can be photoshopped and made to look perfect.
A screaming match can follow that same picture of the happy husband.
Social media brings out the voyeurism in some people, the ability to view and watch but not participate something we have now become accustomed. It is not real life, and you cannot compare your life to that.
Success is having realistic expectations of what can be done with the tools that you have. Get acquainted with more resources. The most essential and only thing you need to be successful is to acquire and become knowledgeable with the resources that you need.
If you want #winparenting, purchase parenting books, attend parenting classes, read this article, etc. Get the tools that you need to move to the next phase.
You can read tons of parenting books, but not have excellent parenting skills. The information you are receiving from the books will not be useful if you do not put them into practice. Try it to see whether or not it is going to work for you and make adjustments as needed.
When you fail, it is the first step to succeeding. It means that you tried it, and can now you can make a note of how to improve next time. Becoming successful at anything especially as a parent, it must be repeated several times.
Consistency is the best way to achieve success. Parenting changes with each milestone, so what worked previously will not work again, and what did not work.

Line of Fear’ is the second album from the Lebanese thrash metal band Blaakyum. Originally formed back in the mid 1990s, Blaakyum haven’t had an easy start. Some of the band members have experienced social oppression first hand, for example their singer was arrested twice just for being a fan of heavy metal. They have recently gained more international recognition, winning third place in the Wacken Metal Battle finals in 2015 and playing Tuska Open Air in Finland in June 2016. The hostile and turbulent situation in their home country has had a major influence on the band’s lyrical themes. This particular album is centered around the subject of freedom of thought and artistic expression.
After the initial background research, a question immediately sprung to my mind: Is it actually possible to successfully mix Middle Eastern folk music with thrash metal? Let’s see… In this case the Middle Eastern folk feel is created using a Middle Eastern drum called tabla. So that’s where the “folk” sounds originates from. Apart from that, Blaakyum’s signature sound combines influences of old school thrash metal acts like Slayer and Destruction with groove-thrash metal vibes and even the odd power metal element in one song.
Baal-Adon features an interesting mix of groove metal guitars with squeaky, power metal -style vocals with the profoundly melodic sounds of the tabla. Other standout tracks include the Freedom Denied thanks to the beautifully melodic intro created with just one guitar and the tabla, and the title song which serves as the perfect introduction to Blaakyum demonstrating everything that the band has to offer. Oh, and let’s not forget the angry-sounding, bonus track ‘Riot Against Riot‘ in which the guitars and drums mimic the start and the violent aftermath of a protest – the music matches the story.
Overall, Blaakyum definitely leaves a lasting impression on its listeners. Their chosen style is not an easy one to grasp and this album may take a few listens to get into. Thrash/groove/heavy metal influences aside, what really makes these guys special is their history, lyrical themes and combination of Middle Eastern folk music and metal. So, to answer the opening question; yes, it is possible to mix these two styles successfully.
This entry was posted on 2nd July 2016 at 9:39 pm and is filed under CD, Metal with tags Groove metal, Heavy Metal, Middle Eastern folk music, Thrash metal.	You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Pa. fines four nursing homes for lax patient care.
CHAMBERSBURG - Five local nursing homes are among the 86 homes that the Department of Health has sanctioned this year, a time when the state has become aggressive in overseeing the industry.
ManorCare Health Services Chambersburg was hit with a $12,500 fine, the largest for a local home. The center at 1070 Stouffer Ave. also was added to Medicaid’s shape-up or ship-out list.
Falling Spring Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 201 Franklin Farm Lane, Chambersburg, was sanctioned twice and fined $2,250.
Shippensburg Health Care Center, 121 Walnut Bottom Road, Shippensburg, was fined $4,000. The Swaim Health Center, 210 Big Spring Road, Newville, was fined $5,750.
In the first four months of 2017 the state Health Department fined nursing homes $796,750. In the previous 36 months, the state had fined nursing homes a total $639,500, according to philly.com.
Industry officials have said that the state fines place another burden on operators already under financial strain to provide quality service.
State officials say they are responding to Auditor General Eugene DePasquale’s demand for improved oversight of the nursing care industry. His July audit identified three main issues -- inadequate review of nurse staffing levels, complaint handling and sanctions against poor-performing facilities.
DePasquale discovered in his 22-month audit that the health department found federal deficiencies in nursing homes that led to $2 million in federal fines, but just $172,350 in state fines. He also found that the state ordered just 30 in-service trainings, the department’s alternative to state fines.
Nursing home operators have been getting less Medicaid reimbursement to care for the elderly, Henry said. Nursing homes are losing an average of $27 a day on Medicaid clients. Some members of Leading Age which pay higher wages lose $100 a day.
Even if the state House budget makes it though with a proposed increase in Medicaid reimbursement, it would remove millions for centers catering to a higher population of medical assistance residents.
Operators have less money to provide quality care, and now are fined if they fail to provide quality care, Henry said.
Previously the health department worked closely with faltering nursing homes to bring them into compliance and helped a center direct resources to where they were needed, Henry said. Pennsylvania has about 700 nursing homes.
Independent of the state fines, ManorCare in Chambersburg and NMS Healthcare, 14014 March Pike, in Hagerstown, Maryland, were named as federal “special focus facilities.” The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services adds nursing homes to the list that have at least twice as many problems as other nursing homes, or more serious problems, or a pattern of persistent, serious problems.
"ManorCare Health Services - Chambersburg believes in providing quality health care to our patients within a corporate culture of ethics and compliance and strives to operate the center consistent with applicable regulations," said Julie Beckert, a spokeswoman for ManorCare. "The nursing home industry is the most heavily scrutinized and regulated health care sector in the country. ManorCare takes the regulatory survey process very seriously and is working closely with the department of health regarding the center’s most recent survey. The center is addressing the state’s concerns in a plan of correction and expects to be in compliance with regulations upon the state’s revisit."
A special focus facility is inspected twice as often as other nursing homes. Within 18 to 24 months after a nursing home is added to the list, CMS expects that the home will graduate from the program, be terminated or be granted more time. About half improve their quality of care within 30 months and graduate. Another 16 percent are terminated from the Medicare/Medicaid programs and close.
Pennsylvania currently has three other special focus facilities – excluding Whitestone Care Center in Stroudsburg which graduated after 32 months in the program.
ManorCare was fined $12,500 for failing to follow fall prevention plans for two residents and for having several unattended residents near a hot steam table in a dining area. The citation indicated immediate jeopardy. A resident fell 11 times in less than eight months and suffered fractures of the hip, ribs and shoulder in the most recent fall in July. Another resident was found to be on the floor of her room on July 7. Five residents were seated near a hot steam table in the Corner Café on Sept. 28. A rope barrier was missing and the center did not have a written policy for the steam table.
Swaim Health Center was fined $5,750 for a medication error where a resident was given too much insulin. The resident did not feel well, was given medicine for low-blood sugar and monitored frequently.
Shippensburg Health Center was fined $4,000 for failing to immediately notify a resident's doctor in October when there were signs of a pressure sore around a brace. The center also failed to get or to follow the doctor’s orders for relieving pressure, so that less than a month later the patient went to the hospital for a wound disorder.
Falling Spring Nursing Center was fined $2,250 for having hot patient rooms on July 14. Temperatures went as high as 85 degrees in the 15 rooms. The outside temperature was 96 degrees. The center was to have the air between 71 and 81 degrees. The cooling system malfunctioned.
Falling Spring Nursing Center also was sanctioned, but not fined, for failing to have two employees present when lifting a resident with a hydraulic lift. Sling straps "popped off" the lift bar on March 2, and the resident fell and hit her back on the lift. She had three fractured ribs.
Quincy Retirement Community was sanctioned, but not fined, after failing to ensure that a resident's request to be resuscitated was carried out in accordance with the resident's advanced directive. The resident died on March 29 due to a failure to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation as indicated in the directive from five months earlier.

Paris (AFP) – The French government faced heavy criticism Sunday over failing to maintain law and order during an arson and looting rampage by “yellow vest” protesters along the famous Champs-Elysees in Paris.
He said residents and business owners were pushing for talks with Prime Minister Edouard Philippe “to share our exasperation and explain our complaints”.
The prestigious Champs-Elysees, known for its shops, cafes and luxury boutiques, has been the focal point for the demonstrations which have often turned violent, sparking running battles between police and protesters.
Police used tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon to try repel protesters who gathered at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe war memorial, which was sacked by protesters on December 1.
A judicial source said 200 people, including 15 minors, were being held in custody after Saturday’s events.
Earlier the authorities said 237 people had been arrested.
President Emmanuel Macron cut short a skiing trip in the Pyrenees to return to Paris for a crisis meeting late Saturday.
After those talks he vowed to take “strong decisions” to prevent further violence.
“There are people today who try by all means… to damage the Republic by breaking, by destroying things at the risk of killing someone,” Macron said.
Back in November Macron was caught off guard when grassroots protesters began occupying traffic roundabouts over fuel taxes. He has loosened the state’s purse strings to the tune of 10 billion euros ($11.2 billion) to try defuse the protests.
Weekly newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche asked “What were the police doing? The levels of damage wrought raises questions about the effectiveness of our forces of law and order”.

Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.
But does forever has a built-in ending ?
I have mixed feeling about this book. its like we're in a love-hate relationship. Everyone mostly gave this a rating of 4/4.5/5 but here I am with a 3 stars rating. There are times where I really enjoyed this. I enjoyed Finch and Violet's conversation, thoughts and adventure. Other times though, i was totally clueless. Okay, i was mostly clueless actually.
So, Finch. Honestly, I dont get him. I dont know what his problem is with sleeps and why he did all those things he did. I dont get the deal between him and his father. I dont get him AT ALL. I need explanation.
I dont know what is wrong with me, but I didnt cry. Not a single shed of tears. The emotion is there but it was very fleeting that I almost did not realize it was there. i think its been a long time since I cried over fictional characters. I guess I need to get myself fix.

Sometimes the Church Fathers remind me very much of the Pentecostalism of my youth. That might sound a bit odd – after all, Pentecostalism and the Church Fathers don’t often go together – but hear me out. You see, in both the Church Fathers and in older (British and European) Pentecostal preaching the great desire is to see Christ in all the Scriptures. Which means that sometimes those who have been taught to follow very strict rules of ‘literal grammatical historical’ interpretation bristle against some of the places Jesus is found by both the Church Fathers and the older Pentecostals. (I’m saying older Pentecostals here, as there is a newer approach which, alas, seems to have gone a long way toward replacing it.) Some people will brush both the Fathers and the Pentecostals aside with accusations of allegory, but the thing is this, despite the way some of their interpretations might appear incredibly novel to certain schools of evangelicalism, a lot of what they said was both (a) deeply rooted in Scripture, and (b) said with the overwhelming desire of proclaiming Christ.
Cyprian’s interest isn’t in the fulfilment of prophecy in the seamless robe, but instead he sees the robe itself as prophetic and pointing forward to an immensely important truth for Christians. For Cyprian, this isn’t merely a garment for someone to wear; this is the robe of Christ and so just as Christ’s actions were significant and teach us, so was His robe. For Christians, you see, are clothed with the robe of Christ. (After all, don’t we sing of ‘this spotless robe’, of our ‘beauteous dress’, and of being ‘clothed with righteousness divine’?) And so it seems that Cyprian reckons that, if we are clothed with Christ’s robe, then we can learn something about our clothing from the description of that robe which He wore on earth.
So truly because Christ’s people cannot be torn apart, his tunic, ‘woven without seam,’ and holding fast together, has not become divided amongst its owners. The description ‘unable to be split (united, linked together),’ reveals the concord that holds together the unity of our people who have put on Christ. By the sign and seal of the tunic Christ has declared the unity of his Church.
So, see what Cyprian’s saying. Christ’s robe cannot be divided. When we’re saved, we’re clothed in His robe of righteousness. But there is only one robe – not one for each of us. We all share in the one robe of Christ. And therefore the indivisibility of the robe points to the indivisibility of the Church, for the whole Church is clothed together in this single robe of Christ’s righteousness.
Now, Cyprian’s not just making stuff up off the top of his head. Already there you can see that his thought is steeped in the biblical language of being clothed with righteousness and salvation (e.g. Isa. 61:10). But he also looks back to the Old Testament to see the prophetic significance of the dividing of a garment, when the prophet Ahijah tore his robe in 12 pieces before Jeroboam to signify the division of the kingdom (1 Kings 11:29-39). These might not be the first passages of Scripture our minds would jump to when we read of the soldiers casting lots for Christ’s robe so as not to divide it, but they certainly show us that Cyprian’s thinking is deeply saturated with Scripture here.
When I first read this connection of Cyprian’s, I got really excited. This is glorious, Christ exalting truth, seen in some soldiers casting lots for a robe. And it reminds us that the unity of the Church isn’t found in us – it’s not something for us to try to create. No, the unity of the Church is found in Christ and His righteousness with which we are all together clothed.

Not far from where my dear old mother lives in the Netherlands is an area known as the Gelderse Vallei. A valley in the Netherlands is a rare thing, given that much of the country is as flat as a pancake – for there to be valleys you’d need mountains or at least hills, and those are few and far between in Holland. But here, between two glacial moraines left after the last ice age, it’s there: the Valley of Gelderland. The southern part of this area is known as het Binnenveld, an area with a diverse mix of farms. Many of the farmers here are trying new things (or go back to really old things for that matter) and their eagerness to experiment is supported by the proximity of Wageningen University & Research Centre, the 21st-century guise of the venerable national agricultural university and the initiative Food Valley, a cooperation between 8 local communities that promotes knowledge and information about healthy food and sustainable agriculture. The latter claim sounds a bit pompous and vague but driving around the area it quickly becomes apparent what it means: small, crooked country roads provide access to beautiful farms where an agricultural cornucopia is being produced, from fruit juices to pork and from fresh advocaat (a drink made with eggs, sugar and brandy) to honey. A local bakery makes rusks out of locally grown Spelt while a bit further down the road a farm store sells eggs, advokaat, fruit juice, jams and a host of other things, all locally produced. And, of course, there’s cheese. I have posted something about Remeker already, but there are other farmers in the area that also produce cheeses from a particular breed of animal, usually valuing quality more than quantity, when it comes to the milk the cows give.
There is Michiel Cassuto and his Brandrood herd; the de Hooilanden Farm with its Blaarkop cows; Welgelegen, a farm with Montbéliard cows and the van Dijk family farm with 1,200 Saanen goats. The latter three have their raw milk cheeses aged and marketed by the Meester-Affineurs (“master agers”), a company that takes its mission to produce a natural product very seriously. As an example, they have successfully fought off mandates to disinfect the boards on which the cheeses ripen. They did so with the assistance of a local company that did the tests to show the boards were fine without getting sprayed. Given that they work with raw milk cheese, they do have very strict hygiene rules: for example, in winter the tails and the udders of the cows need to remain cleanly shaven… close proximity to the other animals and the conditions inside a barn require more stringent rules, clearly. The Master Agers have a clean, crisp website, and they ship. So I was able to order a decent chunk of each of their three cheese and try them a week after my visit in the Food Valley.
I had visited the van Steenbergen farm, which has a delightful farm store that sells beautiful things from all over the region, along with their own eggs. They have chickens, cows and wallabies. Wallabies ?! “Yah, we had some leftover land and my husband had read an article about wallabies so we thought: why not?” the woman who runs the store said. Believe it or not, she said it with such conviction that it sounded like the absolute best thing to do. Wallabies in the Food Valley. Of course.
The Saanen is basically a Gouda cheese with a goat twist, or a chèvre with a Gouda twist – a semi-hard cheese with a pale ivory paste, very creamy, initially without an outspoken goatiness. Kind of sweet, delicious. You need to keep it in your mouth a while for the goat flavor to really unfold, but then it packs a nice punch. The Montbéliard has a lot of small holes in it – nutty, with a pleasant chewiness, a bit of barnyard and salty. The Blaarkop was similar, perhaps a little sharper than and not as creamy as the Montbéliard. The picture shows the trio the way the Dutch eat their cheese: in slices, on a rusk or a slice of bread.
Lodewijk and Fleur Pool are the farmers at the Hooilanden (the Hay Lands), a farm that sits at the end of a long, somewhat twisted country road in the Gelderse Vallei. I visited their farm, saw the cows and bought a piece of cheese, all the while not meeting anyone. There were signs that told me where to go and what to do, and that, the Pools must have decided, should suffice. I picked up a piece of Hooilander Graskaas. Grass-cheese is made using milk from cows who feed on fresh grass rather than hay, it is creamy and quite mild, and the piece I got was still quite young; it had not ripened more than 8 weeks. Often young cheeses (the Dutch tend to select their cheese, most of which is the same ‘Gouda-style’ kind of cheese, based on its age and use 5 or 6 age labels to differentiate) in the Netherlands do not have a lot of flavor yet, but this one does, surprisingly so. It is a creamy, flavor-packed delight, not too salty but not as bland as many young cheeses taste. It has a very clean finish, the flavors do not linger all that much: a perfect cheese to cut up in cubes and eat as a snack with a glass of cold beer.
Boyle Heights is a working class neighborhood just east of downtown LA. Until the 1950s it was a diverse place called home by Jews, Latinos, immigrants from Eastern European and Portugal and people from Japanese descent. But a practice called redlining (in essence, financial institutions drawing a red line around an area on a map and deciding not to provide loans, insurance etc. to the people living within that red line) eventually forced all but the poorest people out and today Boyle Heights is almost completely Latino. If it is a working class neighborhood, it is also a neighborhood of people who know how to live: while it is quite shabby in some places, you don’t ever get the sense of desolation that you encounter in some of the urban wasteland in the poorer parts of LA. Boyle Heights is alive with people who go grocery shopping, take the family out for breakfast, sip a cup of coffee in a café, wave at a neighbor walking by. And that is the way the people like it here: the city is resisting attempts by developers to gentrify the neighborhood, and right now, it looks like they are winning: good for them, because Boyle Heights doesn’t need any ‘improvement’ beyond the normal maintenance people themselves can do.
The three of us were there on a Melting Pot food tour, but some of the highlights of our visit had little to do with food. There was plenty of that too: a marketplace with a bewildering variety of foods, colors and flavors, a place where a gringo like myself would get completely lost without a little bit of help, which we had in the guise of our guide, Andrew. I tried spicy cucumber ice cream (interesting, but next time I am getting a different flavor), Christine got all kinds of mole and I found a place that sold cheese. We also visited a tortilla factory and we sampled the goat stew at Birrieria de Don Boni. Yup, I said goat stew. That’s why their call the restaurant a birrieria – a goatery, if you will. It is pretty much all they serve there, and many people bring their entire families here for a simple but tasty meal on the weekend. And that means everyone, not just mom, dad and a kid or two: a family order in this otherwise inexpensive restaurant sets you back $195 – they know you’re bringing the lot of them.
As for the non-food highlights: certainly the heart of Boyle Heights, Mariachi Plaza, would be one of those. The west side of the triangle is occupied by a beautiful Queen Anne building, the former Cummings Block and Hotel (named after the man who paid for it back in 1889), now the Boyle Hotel or the Hotel Mariachi. It is a residential hotel, and several dozens of musicians live here. And then, throughout the day, it is a coming and going in the plaza of colorfully dressed Mariachis, all looking for gigs. There is something very ‘artisanal’ about these men in their charro suits, getting ready to go to work like any other working man – except their work is the business of making music. On the Plaza there are two stores, one for charro suits and all manners of accessories, and the other for instruments. On the eastern edge of the square is a beautiful mural of a musician and there is even a music school in the neighborhood, the Mariachi Conservatory, where children learn how to play this music of frustration, heartbreak and longing, the Mexican Blues. Historically musicians have mostly been male, but the school also has girls, and I recently found an all-woman band called Mariachi Flor de Toloache on NPR.
Not far from Mariachi Plaza is Primera Taza, a coffee shop in a small, narrow building, and this is where I met the Blue Girl. She was in a painting by local artist Ray Vargas who also made a very large piece that sits in the back of a makeshift patio behind the café. We bought the Blue Girl home, where she represents a gritty urban LA in our decidedly suburban home. At the café, I also picked up a postcard from a local realtor. It showed a house that was maybe 15 feet wide at most but looked cheerful and well kept. It told the story of an entrepreneur who knew her area and her potential customers, who was there to provide a service (and make a living in the process) rather than transform the neighborhood. I took the postcard with me, as a reminder that a place like Boyle Heights can do quite well for itself and thrive without masterplans, mixed-use projects and development corridors, thank you very much. I plan to come back occasionally to see how the neighborhood changes – hoping that I will be pleasantly disappointed when it comes to any large-scale gentrification developments.
Shameless Plug #1: This was the third time we did something like this with the Melting Pot; if you are out here (or if you live here, of course) and you are looking for something fun to do, try one of their tours. Christine, Charlie and I thoroughly enjoy them.
At the Mercado da Ribeira, I found my cheeses at the Manteigaria Silva, where a very friendly Portuguese man took the time to carefully explain exactly what he was giving me. While I got four different pieces of cheese, my pick for the week was clearly the Azeitão. This creamy sheep’s milk cheese comes from a town with the same name, less than 20 miles south of Lisbon. Some of the neighboring towns are also allowed to produce it (the cheese has a Denominação de Origem Protegida (DOP) designation, so there are rules); mine came from the creamery of Victor Fernandes, and the British Guild of Fine Food agrees with me that this is one fine cheese.
Just like the Spanish Torta del Casar, the way to eat this puppy is to slice off the top, take a spoon to it and go to town. Sure, you can take a piece of bread and slather the delicious goop all over it; add a sip of wine if you want. But if no one is looking, why bother? I ate mine straight up, and I must confess it did not take long. Yes, it is that good.
The official leader of the pack of Portuguese cheeses is the Serra da Estrela, named for the mountain range where the sheep live that provide the milk. There are two different breeds, the Bordaleira Serra da Estrela and Churra Mondequeira, both of which do well in the rather unfriendly climate with long harsh winters and hot summers. Old Lucius Columella, a roman expert on agriculture already wrote about these sheep and the cheese made with their milk. They packed me a chunk of Estrela Velho, ripened for 18 months. It’s no longer runny, of course, but semi-hard. To me, the mix of tang, sweetness and saltiness was not that different from the Azeitão, even if the Estrela was sharper and obviously has a completely different texture: both are wonderfully complex (but not complicated) cheeses, they somehow seem a bit related.
A third cheese I tried that was interesting was also from the Estrela Mountains: Queijo da Cabra da Serra da Estrela – a goat cheese with a straw-colored rind and a semi-soft pale white paste. If found that the eating the rind made this cheese a bit too salty, but cut it away and you’re left with a nice, robust goat cheese that packs a bit of a punch. Quite a nice cheese, but not really a match for the other two.
“No”, said the people that were kind enough to make reservations for me at the end of my week traveling in the Douro area. “You need to change your schedule and not go back to Porto until Monday. On Sunday, we celebrate the feast of St. Anthony in Lisbon, and you don’t want to miss that.” So I did as I was told and ended up in Lisbon, more than thirty years after my first visit, on the day the Lisboetas celebrate their saint. You see, St. Anthony of Padua, as it turns out, wasn’t from Padua at all: he started his life in Lisbon as Fernando Martins de Bulhões, and after a stint as an Augustinian, he became a Franciscan when he heard about the martyrdom of five Franciscans in Morocco, an event depicted in all its gruesome detail in the church of St. Francis in Porto. He did eventually make his way to Italy and he did die in the city he has become associated with.
Saint Anthony is a big deal in Lisbon. The saint of lost articles is believed to help Portuguese men and women find their mate, and Sílvia Monteiro, the woman who took me around pointed to a motorcade of oldtimers, each with a bride in them, on the way to the church of St. Anthony. That’s where the couples get a blessing, before they walk to the cathedral of Lisbon, right next door, to get hitched. Apparently, the city pays for the dresses of the stars of this parade – they tend to be picked based on their wealth, or rather lack thereof.
In the narthex of the Church of Santo Antônio, people were selling bread. You are to take a piece of bread, wrap a little note with a prayer with it and stick it in the frame of a picture of the saint. It goes back to the legend of a woman whose son was brought back from the dead by our intrepid saint: in gratitude, she donated her son’s weight in wheat to feed the poor.
If you do not yet have a girl to take to the altar, help can be had by buying a terra cotta pot with a green globe of basil (manjerico), often with a (paper) carnation pinned to it: add a little poem for your loved one and hand it to her with a flourish: guaranteed to work (I think).
Of course the best of all the Saint Anthony stories is where he’s walking along the beach in Rimini, thoroughly disgusted with his inability to reach people. As he is muttering to himself the fishes from the sea begin listening to him, lining up to hear him preach: success! And that’s all you need, in Lisbon, to start grilling sardines on pretty much every street corner of Alfama, the old quarter under the cathedral, on the Feast of St. Anthony. Sardines, Sangria, a salad with grilled green peppers: eat it and you will feel that melancholy in your soul that says: if only for a little while, I am now Portuguese.
But wait, there is more in the way of food and religion here: there are the Pastéis de Bélem, the small egg-yolk custard pastries originally created by the monks of the Jerónimos Monastery in Bélem, a suburb of Lisbon and today sold all over the country. The egg whites were used to starch the monks habits, hence the yolk surplus. There is the venerable institution of the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém, not far from the actual monastery itself, which is a stunning example of the typical Portuguese version of Gothic architecture, the Manueline style. They serve them warm there, and they are spectacular, even if the size of the place and the number of patrons inside do give you the sense of being in a fábrica, a factory. Sure, these things probably make your cholesterol go through the roof, but honestly, they are worth taking a few months off your life.
With Sílvia, I walked the streets, sipped coffee at Café A Brasileira, bought a drawing showing famous Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa on a donkey at the Livraria Sá da Costa Editora, and a felt St. Anthony from a friendly lady who had set up under a leafy tree on the edge of Alfama. She dropped me after several educational and entertaining hours at the Mercado da Ribeira, a hip, modern market with a plethora of eateries, a cheese and meats shop where I got my Portuguese cheese and giant screens to follow the European Championship soccer games. I enjoyed some delicious cod (I believe it is actually illegal to spend more than 3 days in Portugal without eating the national fish) and a glass of wine before I walked on, in the relentless heat, and made my way to Alfama where, as the afternoon slid into the early evening, I used a few Spanish words, my hands and some creative facial expressions to order my sardines. As the square where I sat, sharing a table with a friendly Portuguese woman and her mom (“your Portuguese is very good – not really”) was getting increasingly crowded, my soul began to feel heavy with each bite of a sardine. The vague sadness that stems from the loss of empire, the notion that centuries past may have been the best of times and the certainty that even with Cristiano Ronaldo on the team, the European Championship was a very, very long shot. For a fleeting moment, on the Calçadinha de São Miguel, I too, was Portuguese.
As I strolled back to my hotel in the early evening, with shadows lengthening but the sun still sizzling, Fado music from speakers tumbling out of sidewalk cafes, I realized it had all been a dream. I was not Portuguese at all, I had to pack for a long drive to Porto the next morning, and the saint of lost articles was a fraud: somewhere in the city of St. Anthony, I had not found, but lost my sunglasses. Maldição! As if I needed a reason to return to Lisbon.
In Avignon, no one really dances on the bridge, and as a matter of fact, no one ever did, in all probability.
on y danse tour en rond.
A French ditty that is simple enough for foreign students of la plus belle langue to learn, and therefore has made it in the heads of thousands, nay hundreds of thousands of middle schoolers all over Europe. Of course there are all kinds of things wrong with this song. First off, the original more accurately places the dancers under the bridge: sous le pont. The bridge itself is rather narrow, and traffic would have been seriously impeded by bunches of people who had nothing better to do than to disrupt commerce with their frivolous pastime. Today, it’s a moot point because the Pont Saint-Bénézet has only four arches of its original 22 left. Forty years after it was first completed in 1185 Louis VIII destroyed it, and when it was rebuilt, the Rhône River so often took out a few arches during high water that the people of Avignon grew tired of having to rebuild it. Today it is probably the most famous bridge to nowhere in all of Europe.
All of this is not to say that a visit to Avignon is disappointing, au contraire. But much of the city’s charm is found beyond those sites to which it owes its fame. Under the relentless Provencal sun, Avignon gets very hot, but the winding streets are narrow enough to find a little shade in them – you simply have to cross the street here and there. And as soon as the sun is up, there is nothing to stop you from getting a head start. The city’s biggest attraction by far is the palace of the Avignon popes, but before it opens, you can walk around it, always keeping it on your left, until you reach the Rue des Escaliers Sainte-Anne, the steps of St. Anne, which lead to the top of the Rocher des Doms, the promontory where the very first inhabitants of the area sought to defend themselves from intruders into their land. From here you have gorgeous views over Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and the Tour Philippe-le-Bel across the Rhône. That tower is how far the bridge once reached. The short stump that is left can also be admired from this viewpoint.
From here it is all downhill to the Cathedral Notre Dame des Doms d’Avignon and beyond it the 14th century Popes’ Palace. It’s a bit of misnomer, because despite some beautifully decorated rooms, it may be more appropriate to call it the Popes’ Fortress; there is nothing particularly inviting about its façade and the looming hulk of the building casts massive shadows on the surrounding area.
Having the popes live in Avignon from 1309 to 1375 initially completely overwhelmed the town’s infrastructure: cardinals brought hundreds of people in their entourage and an extraordinary building boom ensued. Pope Benedict XII built what is now known as the Old Palace. He must have been a humorless, dour fellow, because this part of the complex looks solid, boring and unfriendly, both inside and out. Benedict pinched pennies, only to have his successor splurge on the New Palace. Clement VI was responsible for anything colorful, intricate or luxurious that is left in the building today.
The best way to visit is with the self-guiding devices – pick a time early or late in the day, when tour groups have largely left or haven’t quite gotten there yet. From the palace it is not far to the Place d’ Horloge with its carrousel and its many cafés. A bit tucked away in the southwestern corner of the square is a short alley that leads to the Palais du Roure, a building with an inner courtyard that displays a collection of bells and houses a small museum of sorts about Provençal culture. There are a handful of these small museums where visitors can enjoy history, natural history and art in bit size chunks: the Musée Lapidaire in a former Jesuit church has ancient sculptures, among them one depicting the fearsome Tarasque, the local water monster. The Musée Calvet houses an eclectic art collection with some works by Manet, Corot and Sisley.
The Musée Anglodon has a van Gogh, and works by Cézanne, Modigliani, Picasso and others in a beautifully furnished 18th century house; of course, there is also the Musée du Petit Palais, next to the Palace of the Popes, which showcases Italian and Provençal art from the 13th to the 16th century, among other things.
Two other places of note: the Place Crillion, a little away from the center just inside the city walls, with the beautiful 18th century building of the Comédie, now a very chic store, has some quiet and I daresay romantic outdoor terraces. The place is beautifully lit at night. And of course there are the Halles, the covered market with the spectacular vertical garden by Patrick Blanc (the André le Nôtre of our days) on its façade.
In there is the splendid Maison du Fromage, the cheese temple where I got my Banon and the other cheeses for week 5. You see, even if you forget about the whole bit about dancing on the bridge, Avignon has an awful lot to offer.

CS Lewis taught us in Meditations in a Toolshed the difference between looking at and looking along.
When looking at Parkinson’s disease it appears dark and gloomy.
But, looking along, in both directions, the disease is illuminated by the world view of Christ’s light.
When looking along as a Christian, I can observe the Theodrama, the redemptive drama in which I play a part.
The brilliance of God provides the appropriate stage lighting to set the mood and tone.
The audience watches me to rate the playwright. My performance can glorify the author of all things or I can fall short and the director encourages me to do better.
I am never fired by the playwright and director, they again hand me the holy script for more study.
How to live a righteous life?
Realizing sin exists in me yet I am a new creature in Christ I have struggled with why I am not now righteous. Or, to put it differently, why do I continue to be ( a verb) so unrighteous?
It dawned on me after reading Tim Keller’s The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness I should no longer fixate on my self and my sin.
My focus should be on my already perfect rightness provided by the death of Jesus and imputed to me by God.
By living through faith I am righteous. I no longer need to work at righteousness. The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness,righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3: 22-27.

If Hollywood were to get its hands on Rob Ford‘s story, would the resulting movie be an inspirational one? Would it be the tale of a mayor who was once ashamed to admit he’d smoked crack, but who overcame his fear in time to embrace his new life of international infamy?
That’s the angle the mayor seems to be working, at any rate, and never has that been more apparent than right now, as he prepares to make his much-publicized appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Even though the show tapes today, Ford has actually been in Hollywood since Saturday evening, along with a retinue consisting of both of his brothers (Doug and Randy) and at least two staff members. His every step has been dogged by reporters and gawking Angelenos. The former have been wondering just who’s paying for this lavish trip to the left coast (Kimmel? And if so, could this be considered a campaign contribution?), while the latter have mostly been seeking photos with Toronto’s most famous citizen, other than maybe—maybe!—Drake.
The mayor has said that he sees his trip as a way of enhancing Toronto’s reputation, but so far the effect has seemingly been the opposite. Here’s a chronological rundown of the whole transcontinental adventure so far.
On Saturday, images of the Ford entourage making its way to Los Angeles via Chicago began appearing on social media and in newspapers. Judging by the Toronto Sun’s photo of Ford in his plane seat, it seems as though he and his brother Doug both flew first class.
After Ford arrived in Los Angeles, things quickly got surreal. Jimmy Kimmel met the mayor and his entourage at the airport dressed as a limo driver. As Kimmel walked the mayor toward a waiting Chevy Suburban, the group was beset by press looking for sound bites from Toronto’s most famous crack user. The resulting eTalk segment is excruciating. Anyone able to watch it to completion without being overcome by embarrassment for all involved may need a Blade Runner-style empathy test. We prefer the TMZ segment, embedded above, because it makes no pretense. “Who is running Toronto right now?” the cameraman asks. “I am,” says Ford, as he walks past baggage claim with Kimmel in tow.
Or at any rate, so says the Mayor’s driver, Jerry Agyemang.
The idea of finding a fresh start in Hollywood has charmed generations of showbiz dreamers, but it was never going to happen for Ford. The Toronto Star sent city hall reporter Daniel Dale—yes, the same Daniel Dale who once almost sued the mayor for libel—to Los Angeles to keep an eye on things, and on Sunday afternoon the two men met, apparently by chance, at a suit shop.
His staffers are dubious of the true fact that I just happened to stumble upon them in the suit store after five hours of wandering.
Funny PR-vs.-reality moment: Ford account tweets out fun tweet about me finding him; minutes later, Ford himself won't even look at me.
The mayor seems to have spent the first bit of Sunday night on the Sunset Strip. A number of photos posted to Twitter and Instagram show him posing with giggling bystanders. Above, a picture of Ford with a guy who resembles Jesus.
that is not a guy that looks like Jesus, that IS Sunset Strip Jesus (aka Kevin).

Liz, 49, from Norwich, found herself in prison for theft when her life spiralled out of control due to alcohol addiction, which later led to mental health issues. Liz was a functioning alcoholic for 10 years along with her husband, who introduced her to excessive drinking.
The ‘Who am I?’ programme that Liz Ellis is a volunteer for at Ormiston Families supports those who have received a community order or licence and aims to raise awareness and improve the relationships they have with family, children or important others upon release.
“By the end of each session, the service users have laughed, and they all have a smile of their faces. I love encouraging them to reflect on who they really are and to better themselves in their lives after prison,” Liz adds.
