Habitat, Body, Story: Picturing the shifting nature of home Prologue Upon visiting the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Annie Dillard touched a hole, painted with a fourteen-pointed star, in the cobblestone floor of a deep, dingy, poorly decorated cave. The hole marks the spot where Jesus was born. Supposedly, it used to be a stable with a manger, but the landscape has changed over time, now completely covered with monasteries “like barnacles.”1 Annie’s present day experience of Jesus’s birthplace is an odd collision. The story of Jesus in Christian religious texts, the actual body and life of Jesus, and the surrounding habitat or setting of his birth exist in different time frames. The landscape of the Earth’s surface and the structures we build on it continually recycle.

    LACAN’S RETURN TO ANTIQUITY Between nature and the gods Oliver Harris First published 2017 ISBN: 978-1-138-82037-1 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-138-82038-8 (pbk) ISBN: 978-1-315-74392-9 (ebk) Chapter 2 THE MYTH OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 2 THE MYTH OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION In quite a different region, it is true, we do meet with such a hypothesis; but it is of so fantastic a kind – a myth rather than a scientific explanation – that I should not venture to produce it here, were it not that it fulfils precisely the one condition whose fulfilment we desire …. What I have in mind is, of course, the theory which Plato puts into the mouth of Aristophanes in the Symposium. Sigmund Freud (1920, p. 57) I will take the liberty of setting a myth before you … It is to be what is put into the mouth of Aristophanes …. This fable is a defiance to the centuries, for it traverses them without anyone trying to do better. I shall try …. Jacques Lacan (1977, p. 197) Introduction What does it mean to use a myth as a ‘hypothesis?’ Or, more broadly, how can a story that is, by definition, untrue contain ‘truths’ that demand it be retold over the centuries? Aristophanes is one of the six characters in Plato’s Symposium invited to speak on love. He recounts a myth about love’s origin, and Freud and Lacan are not alone in turning to it to convey lessons about human attachment. Freud (1920) gives an economical précis of this myth, according to which love is bound to the original nature of our ancestors: Everything about these primeval men was double: they had four hands and four feet, two faces, two privy parts, and so on.

  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

It was an intimidating experience, to say the least, but one also filled with wonder and delight. For there I learned that union with Christ was not simply one aspect of salvation but its central structure, and that to be saved was not merely to receive a benefit from Christ but to have Christ. A major part of my growth came through encountering Walter Marshall. As was often the case, a class lecture by Lane Tipton drifted toward the pastoral work of caring for souls.

  • Two to Five Acres of Berries Can Sweeten Your Income by Gene Galletta, Arlen Draper, and Richard Funt
    Two to Five Acres of Berries Can Sweeten Your Income By Gene Galletta, Arlen Draper, and Richard Funt Some 15 to 30 acres of intensively cultivated land is usu- ally thought of as the necessary farm size to make labor-saving equipment pay for itself. However, several of the berry crops [namely strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries) offer a unique opportunity for a small or average sized family (of four] to make a good supplemental income on two to five bearing acres. Other berry crops such as cranberries, gooseberries, cur- rants, or elderberries, demand very specialized culture (cran- berries), or have limited usage (elderberries) or limited popu- larity (gooseberries and currants) to make their culture profitable on a small scale. Berry crops need a lot of labor, but a family can usually manage all but the harvesting on a small acreage. Berry culture requires considerable knowledge of the crops and their care, and a large initial investment per acre. However, berries offer a high return per dollar invested because of a generally low supply and high demand in many regions of the United States. The advent of direct farm to consumer marketing (U-Pick or Pick-Your-Own) reduces harvest labor cost and provides the consumer with high quality fruit. Future demand for berry crops promises to be high because of their appeal as sources of dietary enrichment and their varied uses. Strawberries The garden strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Rose family. The strawberry plant has a short thickened stem (called a crown) which has a growing Gene Gaiîetta and Arlen Draper are Small Fruit Breeders, Fruit Laboratory, Science and Education Administration, Beltsville, Md.
