  • The Action of God's Love
    Christ Episcopal Church, Valdosta “The Action of God’s Love” (2 Corinthians 4:14-5:1) June 6, 2021 Dave Johnson In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians is far and away his most vulnerable letter. He does not water down the realities of his suffering as an apostle of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ—as he writes: Five times I have received the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked; for a night and a day I was adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from bandits, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers and sisters; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked. And besides other things, I am under daily pressure because of my anxiety for all the churches. Who is weal, and I am not weak? (2 Corinthians 11:24-29). Not only did Paul suffer all these things in his apostolic ministry, he also suffered in his personal life, especially with what he dubbed his “thorn in the flesh”: “Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated.” Paul does not reveal what this specific “thorn in the flesh” was, though there are many theories about it, but he does reveal what he did about it: “Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness’” (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).

  • Garden State Preservation Trust
    COVERCOVERcover Garden State Preservation Trust DRAFT Annual Report INCOMPLETE FISCAL YEAR 2011 This is a director's draft of the proposed FY2011 Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust. This draft report is a work-in- progress. This draft has neither been reviewed nor approved by the chairman or members of the GSPT board. The director's draft is being posted in parts as they are completed to make the information publicly available pending submission, review and final approval by the GSPT board. Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2011 DRAFT Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2011 from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. It has always been goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This report reflects that priority. The most common suggestion concerning prior annual reports was to give more prominent placement to statistics about land preservation. This report is structured to place the preservation data first and to provide it in unprecedented detail. Information and financial data concerning GSPT financing, recent appropriations and agency operations are contained in the chapters which follow the acreage tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2011 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2011. This document updates the financial and statistical tables contained in prior annual reports.

  • The Music Column That Wouldn't Die: New Album Reviews
    The Music Column That Wouldn’t Die: New Album Reviews. I told myself I was over this, that I had retired from the world of music reviews. I had moved onto bigger and better things (mostly staring at the wall and wondering why nobody calls me anymore). Yet here I am, a mere few months after burning my bridges, giving up on new music and making a world of enemies, back in the game. Did I miss the constant abuse, the being paid in soiled pennies and the lack of recognition which writing this unremembered column entailed? Funnily enough, I did! It was listening to the post punk genius of the new Dry Cleaning record that did it. I thought to myself ‘someone has to take it upon themselves to tell the world just how good this album is’. After a moment of quiet reflection where I drank a glass of lukewarm Ribena to calm the nerves, I decided that that person may as well be me. By JOHN BITTLES So, here we are. Bittles’ Magazine, like some particularly bothersome zombie with a bad haircut and worse breath, has been reborn. And what a re-introduction we have! In this month’s reviews there is the art heavy punk funk strut of Squid, the melancholy dream pop of White Flowers, Thomas Fehlmann’s rich ambiance, the return of living legends The Coral, the skewed pop of Dntel, and Dry Cleaning of course. So, tell all your friends, phone the tabloids, and let us begin… New Long Leg by Dry Cleaning.

Auch musikalisch war das eine tolle Zeit, weil da eine Menge Energie in der Luft lag. Das war eine Zeit der Experimente. Und das Ganze folgte einer großen Ära des Rock'n'Roll. Die Quellen, aus denen wir Musiker damals schöpfen konnten, waren also sehr reichhaltig. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten konnten wir nie mehr auf so ergiebige Quellen zurückgreifen. Die Musik der 70er Jahre zum Beispiel war viel flacher und nicht annähernd so anregend wie die aus den 50er Jahren.

CREATIVE INDUSTRIES: BEHIND THE SCENES INEQUALITIES by SIERRA NICELY Under the Direction of Wendy Simonds, PhD ABSTRACT Film has been a major influence since its creation in the early 20th century. Women have always been involved in the creation of film as a cultural product. However, they have rarely been given positions of power in major film productions. Using qualitative approaches, I examine the different ways in which men and women directors approach creating film. I examine 20 films, half were directed by men and half by women. I selected the twenty films out of two movie genres: Action and Romantic Comedy. These genres were chosen because of their very gendered marketing. My focus was on the different ways in which gender was shown on screen and the differences in approach by men and women directors. The research showed differences in approach of gender but also different approaches in race and sexuality. Future studies should include more analysis on differences by race and sexuality.

  • Pamphlets,” and Announce First-Ever US Tour
    April 27, 2021 For Immediate Release Squid Present New Single, “Pamphlets,” and Announce First-Ever US Tour Debut Album, Bright Green Field, Out Next Friday, May 7th on Warp Records photo credit - Holly Whitaker Next Friday, May 7th, Squid will release their debut album, Bright Green Field, via Warp Records. Ahead of its release, they present a new single, “Pamphlets,” and announce their first-ever US tour. Squid have long been praised for their kinetic live shows, recently being named one of the best bands at SXSW 2021 by The New York Times and Paste. New single “Pamphlets” further previews this energy. It “concludes [Bright Green Field] with eight minutes of Can-ish skyward populsion - the delirious release which justifies all the foregoing tension” (MOJO). Squid drummer and lyricist Ollie Judge elaborates: “It’s about all the rubbish right-wing propaganda you get through your front door. It imagines a person with that as their only source of news being taken over by these pamphlets.” Listen to Squid’s “Pamphlets” Each single - “Pamphlets,” “Paddling,” and “Narrator” - shows that Bright Green Field is a debut of towering scope and ambition. Produced by Dan Carey, Bright Green Field is deeply considered, paced and intricately constructed. The five band members - Louis Borlase (guitars/vocals), Oliver Judge (drums/vocals), Arthur Leadbetter (keyboards/strings/ percussion), Laurie Nankivell (bass/brass) and Anton Pearson (guitars/vocals) - worked as a unit, playing an equal and vital role in its creation. Squid’s music has often been a reflection of the tumultuous world we live in. As an album title, Bright Green Field conjures an almost tangible imagery of pastoral England.

  • SALVADOR DA BAHIA, BRAZIL Onboard: 1800 Sunday, November 6
    Arrive: 0800 Tuesday, November 1 SALVADOR DA BAHIA, BRAZIL Onboard: 1800 Sunday, November 6 Brief Overview: Salvador Da Bahia simply called ‘Bahia’ by locals, is an energetic and beautiful city. The bright and gold-laden architecture of this city demonstrates the grandeur of what was once the capital of Portugal’s New World colony. The Afro-Brazilian culture of the city is evident in much of the its traditions, specifically in its religious movements, music, dance, food, and martial arts, which have preserved the heritage of the West African peoples that were enslaved and brought to Brazil. Experience Bahian culture through a performance of the Bahia Folklore Dance Company or take part in a drumming workshop. Participate in the immense restoration projects sweeping the city, or meet with locals who took the revitalization of these communities under their wing. Don’t miss out in viewing Salvador’s vibrant coast. Whether visiting the sea turtle project at Praia do Forte or taking a cruise to Itaparica Island, the magnificent shoreline is something to be seen. Out of town: Rio de Janeiro is not called the Magnificent City for nothing. The juxtaposition of dense city and tropical rainforest leaves the imagination with endless inspirations. You can find yourself in the middle of a bustling city street one minute and the next hiking up to an astounding overlook through the Tijuca Atlantic Forest. If you’re into natural wonders, catch a flight to Iguaçu National Park and marvel at its 240 waterfalls. Visit the Amazon: Travel to Manaus, and embark on a riverboat expedition along the Amazon River.
