<p><strong>Günstige weil gute Auto-Führerschein-Ausbildung in München</strong></p>
<p><em>Ob privat oder beruflich &#8211; ganz ohne Autoführerschein kommt man heutzutage nicht mehr zurecht. Am besten macht man die Fahrerlaubnis Klasse B bei einer guten Fahrschule, deren Fahrlehrer besonderen Wert auf Sicherheit und Verantwortung im Straßenverkehr legen, wie beispielsweise bei Theorie + Praxis in 80803 München-Schwabing und 81675 München-Haidhausen.</em></p>
<p>Eine wirklich solide Fahrausbildung hat viele ganz entscheidende Vorteile gegenüber einem hastigen Runterreißen der gesetzlichen Pflichtstunden. Die finanziell günstigste Führerschein-Ausbildung ist nämlich nach wie vor die mit den auf Anhieb bestandenen Prüfungen. Und das setzt eine gründliche Ausbildung voraus.</p>
<p>Zudem gibt eine fundierte Vorbereitung auf alltägliche und auch auf besonders knifflige Verkehrssituationen nicht nur in der ersten, besonders unfallträchtigen Zeit nach dem Führerschein ein entscheidendes Mehr an Sicherheit. Die Betonung von verantwortungsvollem, sicherheitsorientiertem Verhalten während der Ausbildung ist auch die Grundlage für späteres unfallfreies Fahren über Jahrzehnte hinweg.</p>
<p>Selbstverständlich sollte wie bei Theorie + Praxis aus München nur auf neuen, modern ausgestatteten Fahrzeugen geschult werden. Freundlichkeit, Kompetenz und Glaubwürdigkeit des Fahrlehrers sind enorm wichtig, um jungen Menschen das notwendige Verständnis für die Prinzipien sicherheitsorientierten, defensiven Fahrens zu vermitteln. Und natürlich, um die Fahrschüler auf dem kürzesten und günstigsten Weg zum Führerschein der Klasse B, BE oder BA zu führen.</p>
<p>Bei der Auswahl einer Fahrschule sind auch die Durchfallquoten interessant. Über die Prüfungsergebnisse der Fahrschüler von Theorie + Praxis in München kann man sich beispielsweise schon im Vorfeld bei der Prüfstelle TÜV II in Unterhaching informieren. Zudem bietet die Fahrschule mit Stützpunkten an der Münchner Freiheit (80803 München-Schwabing) und im Stahlgrubercenter (81675 München-Haidhausen) kostenlose und unverbindliche Schnupperkurse an, bei denen man seine potenziellen Fahrlehrer im Theorieunterricht und auf Übungsfahrt kennenlernen und austesten kann.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Another report of systemic child abuse in the Catholic Church. This time in Ireland, where for years the official policy of church officials was to cover up allegations in the interest of protecting the reputation of the church.</p>
<p>The Allegations:</p>
<ul>
<li>The 750-page report examines complaints of abuse of over 320 children.</li>
<li>It involved a representative sample of 46 priests in the Dublin Archdiocese between 1975 and 2004.</li>
<li>It said the archdiocese obsessively covered up widespread sexual abuse of children by priests until the mid-1990s.</li>
<li>The Church adopted a &#8220;don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell&#8221; attitude.</li>
<li>Typically, complainants were not told that other instances of child sexual abuse by their abuser had been proved or admitted.</li>
<li>One priest admitted to sexually abusing over 100 children.</li>
<li>Another accepted that he had abused on a fortnightly basis over 25 years.</li>
</ul>

<p>The greatest scandal here is not the abuse itself, as horrific as that is. The greatest disgrace is that the leaders of this &#8220;church&#8221; thought the reputation of their organization was more important than the life, health and dignity of the children placed under its care. A church that can do that does not deserve to be called a church. Shut it down. Close the doors. Auction off the property and give it to the abused.  The day that happens and the guilty priests walk through town in sackcloth and ashes I&#8217;ll think about changing my assessment. This institution  has lost all credibility in a world that hates above all else religious hypocrisy. This same church that stands against divorce, homosexuality, and abortion is also famous for pedophilia. It&#8217;s over guys. No one believes you anymore. You are a sad and twisted joke.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>After the latest round of revelations of <a href="http://elmucho.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/catholic-church-please-tie-a-large-stone-around-your-neck-2/" target="_self">pedophilia in Ireland</a>, I think it&#8217;s time to provide some practical help for horny Catholic priests. Here are some ideas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Let&#8217;s set up a public fund they can use to go on a &#8220;date&#8221; when they feel the urge. Wouldn&#8217;t that be better than what they have been doing?</li>
<li>Go back to the practice of keeping live-in girlfriends, which was perfectly acceptable back in the old days (Middle Ages). That would definitely be more healthy.</li>
<li>Make sure they all have a live Internet connection in a secluded corner of their church or monastery where they can view porn. However, install filtering software that blocks child porn. Wouldn&#8217;t that be better than abusing helpless children? I think so.</li>
<li>Online intimate dating services for priests? Totally anonymous and confidential.</li>
<li>Matthew 18:8.</li>
<li>In the 16th century Martin Luther had a matchmaking service for priests and nuns who wanted out of callings for which they were manifestly unsuited. Maybe we should start that up again.</li>
<li>Deal with the problem using the resources of the Christian faith. I know that is a ridiculous notion, because it would involve admitting that there is a problem. In the Catholic Church there are no problems.</li>
<li>I offer this final suggestion as playful irony only, because it obviously goes beyond all bounds of propriety and is not even remotely possible.  In fact, it is more evil than any of the other options even though it could arguably make a pretty significant dent in them: let Catholic priests get married!</li>
</ol>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://programmingpraxis.com/2009/11/27/7-11/" target="_blank">Today&#8217;s</a> Programming Praxis problem is an easy one.  We&#8217;re supposed to give the prices of four items, that both sum up and multiply to $7.11. Let&#8217;s get started.</p>
<p>While we could just do a brute force test on all possible combinations, this would take rather long. So in order to speed things up we only check numbers that are a proper divisor of $7.11.</p>
<pre style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:9pt;font-family:'Courier New';">divs <span style="color:#ff0000;">:: [</span><span style="color:#0000ff;">Int</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">]</span>
divs <span style="color:#ff0000;">= [</span>x <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#124;</span> x <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;- [</span><span style="color:#a900a9;">1</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">.</span><span style="color:#a900a9;">.711</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">],</span> <span style="color:#ec7f15;">mod</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">(</span><span style="color:#a900a9;">711</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">*</span> <span style="color:#a900a9;">10</span>^<span style="color:#a900a9;">6</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">)</span> x <span style="color:#ff0000;">==</span> <span style="color:#a900a9;">0</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">]</span>
</pre>
<p>Once we have the divisors, solving the problem becomes a fairly trivial list comprehension (the &#60;= bits are another optimization to eliminate some identical combinations).</p>
<pre style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:9pt;font-family:'Courier New';">main <span style="color:#ff0000;">::</span> <span style="color:#0000ff;">IO</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">()</span>
main <span style="color:#ff0000;">=</span> <span style="color:#ec7f15;">print</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">[(</span>a<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>b<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>c<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>d<span style="color:#ff0000;">) &#124;</span> a <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;-</span> divs<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>         b <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;-</span> divs<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span> b <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;=</span> a<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>
                          c <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;-</span> divs<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span> c <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;=</span> b<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span> d <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;-</span> divs<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span> d <span style="color:#ff0000;">&#60;=</span> c<span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>
                          a <span style="color:#ff0000;">+</span> b <span style="color:#ff0000;">+</span> c <span style="color:#ff0000;">+</span> d <span style="color:#ff0000;">==</span> <span style="color:#a900a9;">711</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">,</span>
                          a <span style="color:#ff0000;">*</span> b <span style="color:#ff0000;">*</span> c <span style="color:#ff0000;">*</span> d <span style="color:#ff0000;">==</span> <span style="color:#a900a9;">711</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">*</span> <span style="color:#a900a9;">10</span>^<span style="color:#a900a9;">6</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">]</span></pre>
<p>If we run this, we find there is only one combination that satisfies both requirements.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://glaubenshopping.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rasta1.jpg"><img src="http://glaubenshopping.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rasta1.jpg?w=103" alt="" title="rasta" width="103" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-131" /></a>Als blutiger Anfänger des Glaubens-Hopping stellt sich die Frage: Wo fange an? Gleich ins kalte Weihwasser springen und alle heimatlichen Zelte abbrechen, um als Rastafari beim rituellen Cannabis-Konsum zu debattieren, oder erstmal ‚lauwarm’ loslegen und einen kleinen Voodoo-Schrein im Schlafzimmer aufbauen? (Foto: CC Jonathan Stevens, wikimedia)<br />
Und was lohnt sich überhaupt? Da war doch diese Religion mit der Polygamie – Islam… dazu gehört allerdings auch, 5x/Tag Richtung Mekka zu beten. Zumindest an den polygamischen Tagen  ; )</p>
<p>Letztendlich hängt die Frage, mit welcher Religion starte ich, auch immer vom eigenen Typ ab, und da hat mir der <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%253A%252F%252Fapps.facebook.com%252Fbest-of-gotts-behdfc%252F&#38;h=456f4422de559042dc7073a3092ece6a&#38;ref=mf" target="_new">Facebook-Ratgeber</a> quittiert: Mir stehen alle Glaubensrichtungen offen… Was sagt also mein kleiner Helfer „Best of Gott“ dazu?</p>
<p>Als Lebemensch sollte man die Vielgötterei nach nordeuropäischem Vorbild ins Auge fassen: Odin und Thor geben sich überraschend spaßbetont und stehen Saufgelagen sowie One-Night-Stands mit Bürgerlich-Sterblichen alles andere als ablehnend gegenüber. Diesen Vorbildern zu folgen, sollte für den ein oder anderen unter uns nicht schwer fallen. (Foto: CC PinkMoose, Flickr)</p>
<p><a href="http://glaubenshopping.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/aufzeichnen.jpg"><img src="http://glaubenshopping.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/aufzeichnen.jpg?w=300" alt="" title="Wikinger" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-132" /></a></p>
<p>Natürlich gibt es noch die klassische Variante, der die meisten von Haus aus nahe stehen: Den Monotheismus mit the one and only&#8230; Mr. GOTT. Um den Zahn gleich zu ziehen: da gibt es zwei Steintafeln mit einer Menge Regeln drauf. Übertragen auf heute sagen die uns: In der Einkommenssteuer die Einnahmen aus Geldanlagen korrekt angeben, kein Blick mehr über die Hecke, wenn Frau Nachbar ihren Body in die heiße Sonne packt usw. Auf der anderen Seite weiß man beim Monotheismus, woran man ist: Hier gibt es genau einen Gott für alles und es kommt nicht zu Kompetenzstreitigkeiten bei Opfergaben o.ä.</p>
<p>Es bleibt die Qual der Wahl… ich schlage vor, auf dem Blog hier abstimmen lassen, welche Religion als erste in der Praxis auf Herz und Nieren getestet werden soll. Ich bitte um zahlreiche Votes!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Schenken Sie sich doch mal das ganze Hick Hack Nehmen Sie&#8217;s wörtlich oder eben&#8230;.bildlich]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Schenken Sie sich doch mal das ganze Hick Hack</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nehmen Sie&#8217;s wörtlich oder eben&#8230;.bildlich. Schenken Sie es sich. Oder anderen. In jedem Sinne.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Privat, beruflich, professionell.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mancher hat mehr oder weniger damit zu tun. Tagtäglich. Und in diversen Farbspektren.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Die Idee</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#800080;">zu dem vierteiligen Bilderzyklus,</span></strong> <strong><span style="color:#800080;">der Serie und ihren Einzel- und einzeln erhältlichen Motiven</span></strong><a href="http://www.mygall.net/LizCollet"> </a>entstand, als ich zufällig vor ein paar Jahren den Begriff sogar im Duden entdeckte. Man findet ihn nicht nur da, sondern in jedem Fremdsprachenwörterbuch, das hier im Office steht. Les bisbilles, les chamailleries &#8230;&#8230;.im Französischen. Squabbling &#8230;im Englischen. <em>Discusiones</em> oder <em>disputas </em>&#8230;im Spanischen. Seltsamerweise kein Pendant im Italienischen. Humorvoll könnte man mit Augenzwinkern sagen, da gehöre es zum Temperament. Hitziger zu diskutieren.  Und man landet dann auch im Italienischen bei <em>disputa,</em> le <em>dispute</em>. Disput&#8230;&#8230;trifft aber nicht so ganz die Bedeutung des Hickhacks. Das ja immer ein wenig den Beiklang, die Tonfarbe, die verschiedenen Farben des &#8220;Streits um Nichts&#8221; birgt.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Oder wie der Duden es ausdrückt: <em>Hickhack&#8230; eine Doppelung, verdoppelnde Wortbedeutung in Ableitung und  Anlehnung an hacken, wie bei Zickzack u.a. In der Bedeutung einer sinnlosen, nutzlosen Streiterei. Törichten, zermürbenden Hin- und &#8211; Her- Geredes. </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sie werden nie jemanden finden, der bei auch nur einem Streit frisch von der Leber weg fröhlich zugeben wird, er streite um <em>Nichts</em>. In jedem Streit geht es um <em>was</em>. Nicht immer um das, was in einer Klageschrift bezeichnet ist. Nicht um den Betrag. Nicht um den Gegenstand. Auch. Auch vielleicht um diese. Aber immer auch, wenn nicht sogar oft genug um etwas ganz anderes. Um enttäuschtes Vertrauen, um Wiederherstellung dessen, was als gerecht, als richtig empfunden wird, wieder empfunden werden kann erst dann, wenn es nicht nur richtig, sondern auch gerichtet ist. Gerichtet, wie man ein defektes Holzregal richtet. Gerichtet, wie man die Wiederherstellung der Waage versteht, die aus der Balance geraten ist. So wie die Vertrags- oder persönliche Beziehung zwischen Parteien und Beteiligten an eben diesem Hickhack.Das aus der Balance gerät, sobald einer sich nicht an das hält, was versprochen wurde, worauf man zählen wollte. Und feststellen musste, dass man sich verrechnet hat, auch bei dem, worauf und auf wen man zählen könnte. Vielleicht nicht beim ersten Mal, wenn die Waage, die Ausgewogenheit kippt. Im Augenmaß des einen, nicht immer beider. Und nicht immer in die gleiche Richtung einig, was und wieviel aus der Waage geraten ist.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Es geht mir nicht um den Betrag.&#8221; </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Es geht mir nicht um den Schmuck.&#8221; </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Es geht mir nicht um den Unterhalt&#8230;sondern um die Schäbigkeit, die Unehrlichkeit, &#8230;&#8230;.anstatt einfach mit mir zu reden&#8230;&#8230; wenn es eben nicht mehr geht&#8230;..&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;An mir soll&#8217;s nicht liegen, sich zu vergleichen&#8230;sich zu einigen&#8230;. wenn&#8230;&#8230;. &#8220;</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Anwälte kennen solche Sätze zur Genüge und fast immer wird in genau solchen Streitigkeiten am heftigsten und unnachgiebigsten gestritten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nicht nur im Familienrecht. Bis die Luft ausgeht, auch die im Portemonnaie. Bis zur Erschöpfung, ohne am Ende mehr als ein Stück Papier zu erreichen, in welchem der eine weniger muss, als der andere will oder einer mehr muss, als dem anderen je genügt. Wenn es um &#8230;ja, eben was ganz anderes geht. Das anders geklärt, gefiltert, bereinigt werden könnte. Und um das man sich das ganze Hickhack schenken könnte, das nur in vielen Farben für das steht, was enttäuscht, versagt, verwehrt wurde. Aus welchen Gründen auch immer. Begründeten, berechtigten, unbegründeten, unberechtigten, aus Missverständnis. Aus Nichtverstehen. Aus Nichtverstandenfühlen. Aus Nichtkommunizieren. Überall wo das Wort Hickhack im Bild und Hick hack in Auseinandersetzungen zu finden sind, findet sich auch jeder dieser Farben.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Ob aus mangelnder Vertrags-Treue. Aus strapazierter Hoffnung auf weitere Vertragsfortsetzung. Aus gescheiterter Vertrags- und langjähriger Geschäftsbeziehung. Von blau(äugig) bis loyalblau, von greenhorn-unerfahren bis immer(noch)grüner Hoffnung, von erfolgreich-abgeschlossen bis melancholisch-bedauernd sepia-nostalgisch-reflektierend. Nichts ist beständig. Nichts fix. Aber Reihenfolge und Phasen sind wandelbar. Und umkehrbar. Probieren Sie es einmal aus.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hängen Sie doch einfach diese scheinbar immer gleich zyklische Entwicklung, die fast jeder im ersten Moment so sortiert, wenn er gebeten wird, sie aufzuhängen, einmal um. Ohne nachzudenken. Und lassen Sie es dann einfach mal wirken. Wenn Sie sich davor setzen. Oder stehen. Wechseln Sie die Reihenfolge. Um erneut wirken zu lassen. Fallen Ihnen jeweils dann verschiedene Menschen ein? Situationen? Privat? beruflich? Eigene? Die Ihere Klienten, Patienten, Mandanten, Verwandten? Freunde?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Und wenn Sie an konkrete Menschen (sich oder andere denken), wenn Sie die Bilder in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge vor sich haben: DANN bewegen Sie die Bilder erneut. Ganz nach augenblicklichem Empfinden. Denken. Von dem momentanen Denken zu dem, wie Sie es gern hätten. Wie es scheinbar unmöglich ist? Hängen Sie es dennoch um. Manchmal muss man etwas erst sehen, bevor man die Möglichkeiten &#8211; und auch ein bisher selbst ungern, nicht gern, gar nicht wahrgenommenes Wünschen sehen will. Eigenes. Das des anderen. Und&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. dass man manchmal nur Kleinigkeiten bewegen muss. Umhängen. Umdenken. Umschliessen. Und doch &#8230;eben nicht abgeschlossen. Nicht ohne Option zum WAND-eln.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Probieren Sie es mal. Advent ist ja bekanntlich gute Zeit für be-SINN-ungen und be-SINN-lichkeit. Über Veränderung. Hoffnung. Erwartung. Vorfreude. Friedlichere Zeiten. Um sich Hickhack zu schenken. So&#8230;..und so. Sehen Sie es  doch mal &#8230;.eben so. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Die Bilder dazu gibt es natürlich von mir. In Gross und Klein. Manchmal muss man ja nur eine einzige Grusskarte in Bewegung bringen, um Bewegung in eine Sache zu bringen&#8230;.. Infos zu den Bildern und diversen Druckformaten, Rahmen etc beim Klick auf Link unter den Bildern oder auf die Bilder selbst.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Schenken Sie sich doch mal das ganze Hickhack&#8230; alle vier im Quartett. Und drehen Sie mal dran.  An  der Abfolge ihrer  Reihe. Bis zur Quadratur der&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. Sie wissen schon.Und mit etwas Flexibilität wird aus sinnlosem Hin und Her, zermürbendem Hick Hack doch eines, das manches in Bewegung bringt. Sinnvoll.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Miss Frauchen war eigentlich , Entschuldigung, reichlich genervt von dem ganzen Trara um die Schwein]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Miss Frauchen war eigentlich , Entschuldigung, reichlich genervt von dem ganzen Trara um die Schweinegrippeimpfung. Ich? Impfen? Im Leben nicht!!!! skandierte sie und wenn sie als Ärztin um Rat gefragt wurde, hielt sie sich schön bedeckt. Nun trug es sich aber zu, dass Miss Frauchen spontan und demnächst ins außereuropäische Ausland reisen würde. Flughafen FRA mit Menschenmassen, vollbesetzte Boeing 747 mit ungeheurem Platzangebot, hustende Passagiere, die ihre Viren über die Klimaanlage im ganzen Flugzeug verteilen&#8230;.Außerdem hat Miss Frauchen an der Destination wichtige Aufgaben zu erledigen und kann es sich nicht leisten, krank zu werden. Und wie dann immer der Zufall will, wenn man es gar nicht gebrauchen kann&#8230;.</p>
<p>Also, man wird ja seine Meinung wohl mal ändern dürfen. Dachte sich Miss Frauchen und schaute auf dem morgendlichen Spaziergang mit Herrn Hund spontan in ihrer Hausarztpraxis rein. Vierter Stock. Herr Hund, angelegentlich bemüht, Miss Frauchen von einem Treppenaufstieg zu überzeugen, zog begierig an der Leine. Aber Miss Frauchen war anderer Gesinnung und trat samt Herrn Hund und zwei Damen, die das gleiche Ziel hatten in den Aufzug in der Größe einer Sandwichbox. Die Damen waren sogleich herzlich um Herrn Hund bemüht: Schnalz, schnalz, ja, wer bist Du denn? Du bist ja ein Süßer! Eididei, tüdelü, Mausebär. Herr Hund, das muss dazu gesagt werden, ist solcherlei Ansprachen gewohnt. Sie begegnen ihm jeden Tag. Und so hebt er nur gelangweilt den Kopf und wirft kurz einen Blick auf das Menschenkind. Kein Leckerli? Na, dann kannst Du mich mal. Die Damen haben sich wieder beruhigt und oben angekommen, muss Herr Hund vor der Praxis warten.</p>
<p>Miss Frauchen trägt ihr Anliegen vor und wird eine Straßenecke weiter an eine urologische Praxis verwiesen. Tja, denkt sie sich, so komme ich auch nochmal in meinem Leben zum Urologen&#8230;..Herr Hund strebt begeistert dem Ausgang zu und ist entsetzt, als Miss Frauchen ihn ein paar Schritte weiter erneut ersucht, ein wenig zu warten. Leine an einen Pfosten, Herr Hund kann nur noch entsetzt schauen, wie Miss Frauchen mit fliegenden Mantelschößen im Inneren des Gebäudes verschwindet. Er ist entsetzt. Das ist das zweite Mal warten innerhalb weniger Minuten, was denkt die sich eigentlich? Er beschließt, seinen Unmut mit lautem Bellen kundzutun.</p>
<p>Das hört Miss Frauchen, die sich inzwischen in der nächsten Warteschlange eingereiht hat. Am liebsten wäre sie ins Wartezimmer gestürmt, hätte das Fenster aufgerissen und den Ungezogenen durch lautes Schreien zur Vernunft gebracht. Rechtzeitig erinnert sie sich daran, dass dies nicht der guten Kinderstube entspricht, deren Erziehung sie genossen hat.  Eigentlich hatte sie sich nur einen Termin holen wollen, aber sie wird gleich gebeten, da zu bleiben. Nein, die Versichertenkarte bräuchte man dafür nicht. Sie solle nur den Bogen mit der Einverständniserklärung ausfüllen und sich kurz setzen. Aha.</p>
<p>Wenige Minuten später wird sie in einen kleinen Raum gebeten. Als sie gerade noch dabei ist, sich aus ihrem Rollkragenpulli zu schälen, kommt bereits eineArzthelferin herein, in der Hand schon die Spritze. Miss Frauchen wird nicht befragt und noch viel weniger untersucht und einen Kollegen Mediziner bekommt sie auch nicht zu sehen. Pieks, vielen Dank. Miss Frauchen ist nun doch ein wenig überrascht. Verständlicherweise ist es für die Praxis ein Mehraufwand, die ganzen Impfwilligen zu befriedigen. Ja, Zeit ist immer knapp im heutigen Gesundheitswesen. Und ja, auf dem Bogen stand auch die Frage, ob sie sich gesund fühle. Aber das ist ja reichlich subjektiv. Während einige schon mit einem Hüstelchen totkrank im Bett liegen, sind andere noch von ihrer Gesundheit überzeugt, wenn jeder Arzt sie krank schreiben würde. Und so ein kurzes, ärztliches Gespräch wäre doch vielleicht drin gewesen&#8230;.Hätte drin sein müssen&#8230;&#8230;Aber nun denn, Miss Frauchen krabbelt schnell wieder in die Klamotten und eilt aus der Praxis.</p>
<p>Draußen sitzt Herr Hund und schaut anklagend in alle Richtungen. Als er Miss Frauchen gewahr wird, setzt er sie sofort mit einem empörten Bellen davon in Kenntnis, dass er ihre Abwesenheit keinesfalls gutgeheißen hat. Miss Frauchen versucht sofort, durch reichlich Leckerligabe den derart im Stich gelassenen zu versöhnen. Es gelingt sofort, dazu ist Herr Hund einfach zu verfressen. So hat Herr Hund bereits am Wochenbeginn einen aufregenden Morgen verbracht und Miss Frauchen ist so schnell und spontan geimpft worden wie noch nie in ihrem Leben.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Nach 11 Monaten Entwicklung stehen sie endlich: die<strong> LebensMuster</strong>. 9 Bilder, die 9 elementare Wege beschreiben, wie der Glaube im Alltag  seine verändernde Kraft entwickelt. Wir glauben: diese 9 schlichten Muster, ins eigene Leben integriert, führen zu gesundem persönlichen Wachstum und einer vitaleren Kirche. Das bestechende daran: sie sich einfach &#8230; sehr einfach!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://ruhepuls.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/neunbilder.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-670 aligncenter" title="neunBilder" src="http://ruhepuls.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/neunbilder.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="234" height="234" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>1. Die Triangel </strong>- das Leben eines Glaubenden umfasst 3 Beziehungsebenen: nach Oben (UP), nach Innen (IN) und nach Außen (OUT). Diese drei gilt es in Balance zu halten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>2. Der Weg </strong>- das Leben besteht aus Erfahrungen, guten und schlechten. Mit Gott leben bedeutet: Erfahrung reflektieren, Gottes Stimme darin hören, vom Leben lernen, Reife erlangen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>3. Die Schaukel</strong> &#8211; es gibt den ewigen LebensRhythmus zwischen Ruhe und Aktivität. Um zu wachsen, müssen wir lernen, unsere Kraft aus der Stille zu schöpfen. Stress ist einer der größten Feinde gesunden Lebens.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>4. Die Telefonzelle </strong>- Christus empfahl uns, ein einfaches Gebet ins Leben zu integrieren. Das VaterUnser dienst als Modell für ein betendes Leben, das wieder neu lernt, sich zur Kommunikation mit Gott zurückzuziehen und dafür mal die Tür hinter sich zu schließen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>5. Das Brot </strong>- ein Jesus-Nachfolger lernt, sich selbst zu ernähren. Sein wichtigsten LebensMittel ist die Bibel. Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil.</p>
<p><strong>6. Der Staffelstab </strong>- eine vitale Bewegung lebt vom Weitergeben-Prinzip. Was du kannst, weißt und bist, multipliziert sich in der nächsten Generation. Menschen fördern muss zum GrundMuster jedes Christen werden.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>7. Das Mosaik</strong> &#8211; im Reich Gottes wird aus Lebensscherben verschiedener Menschen ein wunderschönes Bild. Seinen Platz zu finden, seine Berufung zu entdecken, seine Aufgabe auszufüllen verleiht Sinn.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>8. Die Tür </strong>- das Reich Gottes breitet sich aus, wenn Christus-Kenner durch offene Türen gehen, Leben teilen und Gottes Liebe in die Lebensräume dieser Gesellschaft tragen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>9. Der Organismus </strong>- alles ist vergeblich ohne die LebensKraft, die wir Geist Gottes nennen. Dieser LebensKraft müssen wir Raum geben. Wie das geht, kann man sich bei jedem lebendigen Organismus der Natur abschauen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>(Die LebensMuster sind inspiriert von den LifeShapes, die Mike Breen entwickelte.)</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 198px"><a href="http://www.theorieundpraxis.de/fahrschule-muenchen-schwabing-haidhausen/ausbildung/wie-finde-ich-die-richtige-fahrschule-mit-dem-schnupperkurs/"><img title="Kostenloser und unverbindlicher Schnupperkurs vor der Führerschein-Ausbildung" src="http://www.theorieundpraxis.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/2007-toyota-land-cruiser-200-01-01-188x259.jpg" alt="Kostenloser und unverbindlicher Schnupperkurs vor der Führerschein-Ausbildung" width="188" height="259" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fahrschule 80803 München-Schwabing, 81675 München-Haidhausen: Kostenloser und unverbindlicher Schnupperkurs vor der Führerschein-Ausbildung</p></div>
<p>Künftige Autofahrer brauchen bei der Auswahl ihrer Fahrschule nicht die Katze im Sack zu kaufen.</p>
<p>Es ist ganz einfach: Man probiert die Fahrschulen aus, bevor man sich bei einer verbindlich für die Führerschein-Ausbildung anmeldet. Die Münchner Fahrschule Theorie + Praxis zum Beispiel bietet kostenlose und unverbindliche Schnupperkurse zum gegenseitigen Kennenlernen an.</p>
<p>Eine gute Fahrausbildung ist Vertrauenssache und abhängig von der stimmigen Chemie zwischen Fahrlehrer und Fahrschüler. Deswegen laufen die Schnupperkurse bei Theorie + Praxis so ab: Als erstes nimmt der potenzielle Fahrschüler an mehreren Theoriestunden in der Zentrale an der Münchner Freiheit (80803 München-Schwabing) oder in der Filiale im Stahlgrubercenter (81675 München-Haidhausen) teil. Dabei kann der Interessent die Fahrlehrer der Fahrschule kennenlernen und sich einen aussuchen, mit dem er eine kostenlose Fahrstunde zur Probe machen möchte.</p>
<p>Erst wenn der Fahrschüler dann wirklich überzeugt ist, bei einem Fahrlehrer gelandet zu sein, mit dem er gut auskommen kann, meldet er sich verbindlich zur Führerschein-Ausbildung an. Der Fahrschüler trägt keinerlei Kosten und keinerlei Risiko. Beides übernimmt komplett die Fahrschule Theorie + Praxis.</p>
<p>Man kann also zunächst alles in Ruhe ausprobieren &#8211; ohne einen Cent zu zahlen und ohne sich festzulegen. Dann erst entscheidet man sich ohne Zeitdruck, ob man den Führerschein tatsächlich bei Theorie + Praxis machen möchte. Man kann sich jederzeit für den Führerschein anmelden und sofort mit der Ausbildung beginnen.</p>
<p>Theorie + Praxis ist eine der wenigen &#8220;kompletten&#8221; Fahrschulen in München. Hier wird für den Mopedführerschein, Motorradführerschein, Autofürerschein, Lastwagenführerschein und den Busführerschein ausgebildet. Dazu kommen Seminare, Berufskraftfahrer-Qualifikation und sogar Schulungsfahrzeug-Verleih.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Die letzen beiden Tage waren voll davon.</p>
<p>Am Samstag gab es ein Wiedersehen mit<a href="http://die-farben-des-herzens.npage.de/index.html" target="_blank"> &#8220;Die Farben des Herzens&#8221;</a>, im Sommer hatte ich die Gruppe bereits kennengelernt, damals spielten sie ein Promo des Stücks, welches zu dem Zeitpunkt noch nicht fertig war.<br />
Nun also die &#8220;Vollversion&#8221;. 10 Ansteck(-schmink-)mikrofone waren gerade genug, um die 6 Hauptdarsteller und 8 Nebendarsteller zu versorgen (also bei 4 Mikrofonen jeweils ein Wechsel).<br />
Das Frequenzmanagement war etwas tricky, weil ich beim ersten Scan &#8220;Schmutz&#8221; im allgemein zugeteilten Bereich ab ca. 805 MHz gestgestellt habe, dazu zwei mittelstarke Träger zwischen 808 und 814 MHz. So habe ich dann mit einem engen Frequenzplan alles Wichtige unter 803 MHz gehalten und die Spare-Strecken bis 806 MHz. Während der Show hat sich die Lage dann beruhigt, die Fremdträger verschwanden und ich hatte Ruhe. Die Mikrofonpacks und Kanäle habe ich dann mit Rollennamen beschriftet und es konnte losgehen. Ich kannte das Stück bereits vom Buch, es gab allerdings einige Änderungen, so daß nicht alle Einsätze ganz klar waren. Auch ein Stromausfall im 2.Akt (es ist schon ein komisches Gefühl, wenn sich das iLive-Surface plötzlich mit &#8220;not connected&#8221; verabschiedet. Ein weiterer Beweis, daß Zeit relativ ist) konnte auch nicht verhindern, daß Kai und ich zum Applaus auf die Bühne gebeten wurden um je eine Packung Merci und eine Dankeskarte entgegenzunehmen und beklatscht zu werden. Schon schön&#8230;</p>
<p>Heute dann<a href="http://www.nicos-apostolidis.de/" target="_blank"> Nicos Apostolidis</a> in der<a href="http://www.fabrik.de" target="_blank"> Fabrik</a>.<br />
Ein Troubadour (Gitarre + Gesang), ein sehr schöner ruhiger Abend und schöne Dankesworte nach dem Konzert.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The BBC did a special on healthcare around the world and in one segment they spoke with a Christian ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The BBC did a special on healthcare around the world and in one segment they spoke with a Christian pastor in Arizona.</p>
<p>This pastor presented the following reasoning for rejecting social healthcare: He does not think socialism is biblical. The interviewer asked why a socialized program that helped people did not qualify as biblical. After all, it was helping the poor and loving the neighbor. The pastor&#8217;s answer was the following:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>&#8220;The Bible says that we should love people from the heart, not based on the law. But a social program makes us love others by obedience to the law and it is a form of legalism.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This is terrible. It&#8217;s embarrassing. It&#8217;s horrible. Why?</p>
<ol>
<li>It&#8217;s terrible because the Bible does not say that we should only love people from the hart and not based on the law. If you think it does then please show me the passage that makes this point, because I have never seen it.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s an embarrassingly simple logical fallacy. This pastor (and many others) confuse the biblical theological discussion about law and salvation with the role of law in society, merely because the terminology is similar. But obviously these are different topics. Law in the New Testament pertains to God&#8217;s moral requirements which humans can never achieve. Against this background Christ is presented as God&#8217;s gracious provision for salvation. The laws of a modern nation are pragmatic human arrangements that help us create a good society. It is not relevant whether they are practiced from the heart or not. The relevant question is whether they uphold justice.</li>
<li>By the pastor&#8217;s reasoning we should not have any laws, for they all require &#8220;legalistic&#8221; obedience. I wonder what his position is on abortion? I hope he agrees with me that there ought to be a law against it.</li>
<li>Finally, to say that we should not enact a pragmatic solution to a problem because the problem must be resolved &#8220;from the heart&#8221; has the convenient effect of removing all social accountability. For who can be forced to build a better society &#8220;from the heart&#8221;? By definition, no one. Thus we do nothing. We just sit back and keep anything productive from occurring because God forbid we become legalists.</li>
</ol>
<p>There may be good arguments against socialized medicine. My point here is not to deny that. But this argument is not one of them.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I begin with a video (where I say among other things that I&#8217;ve been working for two years on a project about teaching, writing about, and publishing/presenting in the digital humanities and this raises contradictions about vernacular, audience, duration, translation and more) all to be demonstrated in this post where I perform and re-present and preserve what will be at talk on November 23:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/t9KsbPBZiIs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/t9KsbPBZiIs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>But YouTube cut me off, darn it! (as it so often does when you record from your monitor), so I will finish my intro verbally, in the room, face-to-face, there our flesh connected:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;Broadening the Digital Humanities: The Vectors-IML NEH Summer Institute on Multimodal Scholarship and supported by &#8216;a planning grant from the Mellon Foundation to develop a proposal for a multi-university digital hub in support of work in visual culture.  She will be working with scholars from Brown, NYU, Rochester and UC-San Diego.&#8217;</p>
<p>And in part 3 of this talk,  I will conclude with a discussion of the implications of my project for teaching, research and publishing in the &#8216;digital humanities.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<description><![CDATA[Was driving back from the high north country late last night with my dad and we got to talking like ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Was driving back from the high north country late last night with my dad and we got to talking like two guys up way past their bedtime do.  Various viewpoints were expressed, politely, tiredly. In general outlook we are largely on the same team; we just differ (sometimes vastly) on how to put it into practice.</p>
<p>The details are not of much importance.  Fundamentally, my father is eminently willing to engage in the mucky day-to-day praxis of putting political ideas into actual practice.  I am far more fastidious, very reluctant to get my hands dirty, at least not without a full supply of Lava soap on hand.  And is there any Lava soap yet invented that can get the greasy stain of politics off your hands?  I doubt it.</p>
<p>But  rather than re-invent the wheel, I will let Plato speak for me (though in place of philosophy I might insert writing, or literature, or combine the three):</p>
<blockquote><p>Then there remains, Adeimantus, only a very small group who consort with philosophy in a way that&#8217;s worthy of her . . . Now, the members of this small group have tasted how sweet and how blessed a possession philosophy is, and at the same time they&#8217;ve also seen the madness of the majority and realized, in a word, that hardly anyone acts sanely in public affairs and that there is no ally with whom they might go to the aid of justice and survive, that instead they&#8217;d perish before they could profit either their city or their friends and be useless to themselves and others, just like a man who has fallen among wild animals and is neither willing to join them in doing injustice nor sufficiently strong to oppose the general savagery alone. Taking all this into account, they lead a quiet life and do their own work. Thus, like someone who takes refuge under a little wall from a storm of dust or hail driven by the wind, the philosopher&#8211;seeing others filled with lawlessness&#8211;is satisfied if he can somehow lead his present life free from injustice and impious acts and depart from it with good hope, blameless and content.</p>
<p>&#8211;Republic (496a-497a)</p></blockquote>
<p>Quote from Plato spotted, serendipitously, this morning at <a title="Plato on politics" href="http://maverickphilosopher.typepad.com/maverick_philosopher/2009/11/political-action-and-the-principle-of-le-mieux-est-lennemi-du-bien.html" target="_blank">Maverick Philosopher</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Diretores: Rudi Böhm, Stela Grisotti Quando se fala de Apolônio de Carvalho se fala de um homem que ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Diretores: Rudi Böhm, Stela Grisotti</p>
<p><a href="http://astronautalibertado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vale-a-pena.png"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-75" title="Vale a pena sonhar" src="http://astronautalibertado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vale-a-pena.png?w=104" alt="" width="104" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Quando se fala de Apolônio de Carvalho se fala de um homem que viveu intensamente os fenômenos do século XX, enquanto brasileiro: viveu durante o Estado Novo no Brasil, foi como voluntário republicano para a Espanha na Guerra Civil que dividiu o país entre republicanos e fascistas (e dividiu posteriormente a esquerda enfraquecendo o movimento revolucionário), lutou na França na resistência à ocupação nazista, retornou ao Brasil e lutou contra a Ditadura Militar. Morreu (pasmem!) em 23 de setembro de 2005, com 93 anos. E durante toda essa vida, viveu também intensamente seus ideais.</p>
<div id="attachment_76" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://astronautalibertado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/apolonio_de_carvalho.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-76 " title="Alinhamento à esquerda" src="http://astronautalibertado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/apolonio_de_carvalho.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="200" height="125" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Apolônio de Carvalho</p></div>
<p>O documentário <em>Vale a pena sonhar</em> faz-nos viver intensamente este lado(fator essencial da constituição do ser Apolônio de Carvalho) do militante. De forma cronológica, conta esta trajetória de um herói da esquerda, um homem que se dedicou ao seu ideal: o de um mundo mais justo, com relações mais humanas e mais igualitárias. Para isto, em um século de Extremos, como diria Hobsbawn, a crueza do mundo teve de ser respondida com guerra por diversos homens que queriam modificar a sociedade.</p>
<p>As entrevistas são de uma beleza extraordinária. E fortes também, já que lida com aqueles que viram a Besta de perto, a máquina da guerra soltando fogo pelas narinas. Não só Apolônio é entrevistado, mas sua mulher Reneé, seus filhos e seus companheiros de utopia.</p>
<p>O que a narrativa demonstra é a força e proporção inimaginável de um ideal. É Apolônio quem diz que quem idealiza vive. É ele também quem diz que quem não luta por algo está fadado à mediocridade. Porque o que vemos ali na tela é um homem apaixonado, um homem que viveu, na pratica, não se limitando à crítica, o que pregava. Para Apolônio é isto que deve ser feito: não basta criticar, há que se fazer, construir.</p>
<div id="attachment_77" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://astronautalibertado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/apolonio-e-mulher.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-77 " title="Apolônio e Reneé" src="http://astronautalibertado.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/apolonio-e-mulher.jpg?w=149" alt="" width="150" height="125" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Apolônio e Reneé</p></div>
<p>Apolônio descreve-se como um visionário. Não haveria como entrar nestas guerras imaginando que fosse perder. Fosse qual fosse o resultado, comprava suas brigas para vencer, porque com a força de um ideal imaginava as possibilidades que o aguardavam no futuro.</p>
<p>Tudo é narrado do ponto de vista daqueles que lutaram pela esquerda. Há que se levar em conta a seleção do que foi dito, porque foi também uma seleção do vivido. Se por um lado optou-se por mostrar determinados aspectos, é porque Apolônio escolheu viver estes mesmos determinados aspectos e esta determinada visão de mundo.</p>
<p>É um documentário que certamente emociona daqueles que sonham e os faz refletir sobre suas condutas e pensamentos, sobre teoria e prática. De certo modo, viver o <em>Vale a pena sonhar</em> é viver Apolônio e isto significa trazer e viver os próprios sonhos – ocultos ou não – nos confins da mente. Mas principalmente para aqueles que sonham especificamente com um mundo mais justo, Apolônio de Carvalho e muitos outros que viveram o que ele foi capaz também de viver são de uma beleza sem igual.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Dianne Conrad and Bruce Spencer &#8211; Distance Education Online: A forum for Adult Education?</strong></p>
<p>Can distance education in its current online form serve the <strong>social purposes of adult education</strong> that demand authenticity, openness, critical thinking, purposeful and respectful reflection, and the promotion of participative democracy and citizenship? With the advent of collaborative online learning, distance education has moved from individualized and often isolated study to dynamic, interactive exchanges that, properly facilitated, encourage knowledge building, teamwork, and communication skills. The groundwork has been laid for social purpose educational practices and outcomes.</p>
<p>Current distance education emphasizes social, communication-based, and constructivist learning&#8230; <strong>The creation of community</strong> simulates for online learners the comforts of home and provides a safe climate, an atmosphere of trust and respect, and invitation for intellectual exchange, and a gathering place for like-minded individuals who are sharing a journey that includes similar activities, purpose, and goals.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>Geoff Peruniak and Rick Powell &#8211; Coming to Terms with Prior Learning Assessment</strong></p>
<p>PLA concerns informal learning; that is, learning not formerly attested to by an accredited educational institution. PLA is a means by which informal and nonformal learning can be recognized by accredited programs of study. &#8230;</p>
<p>There is certainly a constituency within the Canadian academic community that is fundamentally opposed to PLA. They have argued that university-led learning can take place only in a classroom and when taught by an academic. Although this school of thought is undoubtedly a barrier to the acceptance of PLA, it is probably not critical because a number of respected Canadian universities have formally acknowledged PLA as legitimate &#8211; at least in principle. A much more serious barrier is the challenge of PLA to <strong>academics&#8217; notions of their educational role</strong> &#8211; even those who might accept PLA in principle.</p>
<p>Academics have traditionally viewed their educational roles of teaching and student assessment as an organic whole. The acceptance of PLA as an integral practice rather than a marginal practice means unpacking these educational functions. The discomfort of academics is understandable. A necessary but usually tiresome and unrewarding aspect of their university roles now comes to the forefront. Moreover, one must attest to what one has not taught.</p>
<p>In a conventional university setting,  <em>formal </em>course learning objective and expectations are not usually needed. They are implied by the course syllabi and reinforced through the process of classroom instruction. Indeed academics&#8217; take on course objectives may undergo change as a result of the classroom experience. Formalizing course objectives and learning expectations has not traditionally been emphasized. Also, some forms of PLA (e.g., portfolio-based) are assessed by panels: <strong>Collective assessment is a foreign experience to most academics.</strong> When PLA becomes an integral, rather than a marginal, practice for assessment and attestation, it extends beyond the comfort zone of even the most sympathetic academics.</p>

<p><strong>Allan Quigley &#8211; What Does It Mean to Be a &#8220;Professional&#8221;? The Challenges of Professionalization for Adult Literacy and Basic Education</strong></p>
<p>Schon (1983) found that the world&#8217;s top professionals were not necessarily those with the most prestigious certificates, but that the best-of-the-best had truly mastered ways to learn from all aspects of practice. The could critically reflect on what they had learned through their own experience, from the literature, and from others; and the could internalize both theory and practice into their current work. Schon argued for <strong>practitioner critical reflection</strong>. No external list of requirements will force striving for excellence; no standardization will force professionalization. The energy for literacy professionalism needs to be placed in enhancing what we do well now. This can be seen as a <em><strong>praxis approach</strong></em> and is suggested as a way forward.</p>
<p>Schon, D. (1983). <em>The reflective practitioner: How professionals think in action. </em>New York: Basic Books. </p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>Mohamed Hrimech &#38; Nicole Tremblay &#8211; <em>Training of Adult Educators in Quebec</em></strong></p>
<p>The right to education for all has yet to be recognized for adults, and the means to implement it are scarce. The fight for this right is far from being on the agenda in today&#8217;s social and economic context. Cruikshank (1998) suggested that adult educators who still believe in adult education in terms of social justice must be alert to the dangers of this <strong>new reality of corporate training</strong>. Today&#8217;s globalization, combined with the development of distance education and an increasingly present virtual world brings its share of upheavals to the customary training of adult educators. How relevant are our lengthy graduate programs with all their academic and time constraints when the clientele is increasingly made of learner-consumers who are used to quick changes, on the lookout for tailor-made, small, and fast courses. One wonders whether our universities have responded quickly enough compared to private training services for adult educators. Competition is great from private consultation companies, internal training departments, and professional colleges that provide their own continuing education to their members and training to instructors. Consider the many catalogues of seminars and workshops published by private training organizations. Moreover, their training is often offered on very appealing and fairly informal premises.</p>

<p><strong>Denis Haughey &#8211; <em>Not Waving But Drowning: Canadian University Extension for Social change Revisited</em></strong></p>
<p>Edwards and Miller (2000), in looking at issues in contemporary adult education and lifelong learning, also reinforced the crucial point that in lifelong learning greater emphasis is placed upon learner control and what goes on outside the educational institution; thus, placing boundaries around that learning and creating spaces for learning in the face of other demands becomes problematic. Learning can be adopted as part of lifestyle rather than arising from a need for enlightenment. Foley (2001) pointed out that extremely vital and comprehensive learning and teaching for social purposes is taking place not only in educational institutions, but in the workplace, families, communities, the mass media, and social movements. Increasingly, <strong>the new terrain</strong> is outside of the formal university setting and requires a new understanding of the role of the adult educator.</p>

<p><em></em> </p>
<p><strong>Maurice Taylor &#38; Adrian Blunt &#8211; <em>Towards a Canadian Research Culture in Adult Literacy Learning</em></strong></p>
<p>Two dialogical problems persist to shape and define the culture and common spaces occupied by literacy researchers. <em>Dialogism</em>, according to Bakhtin (1981), is the occurence of opposing positions among social actors, positions that are permanently irresolvable; they are foundational positions that are self-affirming and sustain resistance to the positions of others. The first dialogical problem is <strong>the difference in priorities</strong> between practitioner-researchers in the field and researchers in the academe. Typically practitioners value most highly research that focuses directly on the problems that they encounter in their daily work. They tend to see concrete solutions to improve practice; that is, strategies to enhance the effectiveness of instruction and the achievement of community program and individual learners&#8217; goals. Although academic researchers may espouse similar pragmatic outcomes for their research, as social scientists they must also use abstractions of reality to develop theory, seek conceptual understandings that will allow research findings to be extended beyond micro-level concerns, and seek understandings and findings to inform policy and program development at the macro-societal level.</p>
<p>The second sphere of dialogism is apparent in discourses on the purposes and valuing of adult literacy education in society. On one hand, literacy is highly valued and resources are provided for <em><strong>homo economicus</strong></em>, &#8220;an actor whose salient criterion is an economic calculus, and who is educated for productive roles in the commercial world&#8221; (Blunt, 2001, p. 103). On the other hand, resources are withheld and literacy education is not provided for <em><strong>homo literatus</strong></em>, &#8220;an actor who thinks as a person-in-the-community,  &#8230; [with] multiple roles in society, [who values] person-within-the community relations, and &#8230; [who acts] to meet valued labour market demands&#8221; (p. 103).</p>
<p>Both dialogisms demonstrate how social practices in literacy work are linked to ideological positions, which in turn are linked to social sites and communities. The metaphor of a mosaic to describe the culture of research is as valid and problematic for the field as it is a national metaphor to describe and construct Canadian national identity and social cohesion.</p>
<p>Bakhtin, M. (1981). <em>The dialogic imagination</em> (C. Emerson and M. Holquist, Trans.). Austin, TX; University of Texas Press.</p>
<p>Blunt, A. (2001). Workplace literacy: The contested terrains of policy and practice. In M.C. Taylor (Ed.), <em>Adult literacy now </em>(pp. 89-108). Toronto, ON: Irwin.</p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>Shahrzad Mojab &#8211; Adult Education Without Borders</strong></p>
<p>We live in a very troubled world: The conditions that sustain life, both human and non-human, are seriously deteriorating; human beings, or rather small sections of them, have created conditions that disrupt the ability of living beings on the planet to reproduce the conditions of their (co)existence. The modern institutions of  the market and nation together with institutions such as patriarchy, state, and religion are at work in creating these conditions. The ever-growing rule of the capitalist market &#8211; globalization &#8211; destroys borders but creates new boundaries that sharply divide the world&#8217;s haves and have-nots. If this characterization of the our world is accurate, <strong>the most urgent question for us would be the role of adult education</strong>. If we indeed witness a serious turn in the history of the world, how do we envisage adult education?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Freud had made it abundantly clear that a child&#8217;s parents influence his or her development dramatically. Erikson pointed out that children influence their parents&#8217; development as well. The arrival of children, for example, into a couple&#8217;s life, changes that life considerably, and moves the new parents along their developmental paths.</p>
<p> Deutch (1945) proposed that parenthood represents the crucial, positive fulfillment of a woman’s needs. Although I don’t agree completely with this statement, I definitely can say that motherhood has fulfilled most of my needs leaving me, most of the time, exhausted.</p>
<p>  I found myself pregnant on the spring of 2006. The hormone Oxytocin was working in me more than usual. I loved being pregnant. I dreamed about the baby almost every night. On November 5, 2006 I met my precious daughter. It wasn’t what I hoped for, or; what the books told me to expect. Although I wrote a meticulous birthing plan, the cruel c-section was what brought my daughter into the world. I didn’t have any corporal contact with my daughter the first hours of her life. Her first feeding was done by a nurse. This set the beginning of one of the most difficult stages of my life, wanting to breastfeed my baby. I didn’t have a vaginal labor or a distension of the cervix and I didn’t breastfeed for a long time but I can certainly say that I felt and I am still feeling “the mother instinct”.</p>
<p> My micro-system, now including a third person was full of joy. I kept myself close to this system the first weeks with the exception of few interactions with the meso, exo and macrosystem. After bonding closely with my daughter I started feeling the “normal crazy” symptoms. I felt I was loosing my sanity. For example, when bathing my baby I suddenly felt the need of taking her out because she could drown. As Angela McBride mentioned in her book, recognizing the intensity of an emotion does not mean that it will be acted out in a non-constructive way, in fact, emotional self-awareness is the first step toward impulse control. I believed that was what happened that day, self-awareness.</p>
<p> The “normal crazy” behaviors have been around with me for quite a bit. Since I gave birth I have been struggling with my “stored issues” from childhood and adolescent years.         Siegel in 2001 mentioned that carefully conducted scientific studies have shown us that it is not what happened to you that matters most in determining how you raise your children; instead, it is how you have come to make sense of your early life experiences that is most robust predictor of how your children will become attached to you. I am getting strong.</p>
<p>The parental role has been neglected for many reasons. It has been ignored or deemphasized because of the societal assumption that all women just knew how to do it (Hrdy, 1999). I have been working with children for the last ten years; however nothing prepared me for motherhood. It has been the help and the <em>emotional, informational and instrumental/tangible support </em>(H. Heath, 2004) from my husband, friends and family what has helped me to fulfilled the six expectations of parents; nurture, protect, love, guide and teach, design the environment and be an spiritual model to my daughter. I strongly believe that the key concept for parenting is support. Erik Erikson hypothesized in 1950 that people needed a fund of “traditional reassurance“(emotional support) to resolve the crisis of the generative (parenting) stage.</p>
<p> I once read in an article that all motherhood emotions are universal. I don’t agree. I believe that every mother is struggling with different emotions at different stages of their lives. I will define my emotions in motherhood as a <em>rollercoaster</em>. Although the majority of the time I feel excited and full of energy, few times; I feel like putting me in “time out”, just for me. All emotions cannot be handled constructively all the time, but working in that direction should be a goal for a mother (McBride, 1977).</p>
<p> Time flies. I have survived the newborn and early infancy stages of my daughter. She is three and learned how to say “no”; late nurturing stage (Levinson, 1978). Late night feedings, heavy and awkward infant carriers, and stinky pureed baby foods are back, we now have a beautiful baby boy but as my daughter becomes increasingly independant and interactive, there are a new set of concerns and tasks I must focus on to ensure that she remains safe, healthy, happy, and developmentally on-track. My relationship with her is getting stronger. She has successfully passed the trust versus mistrust psychosocial stage (Erikson, 1959) and I believe I have met all her needs.</p>
<p> Erikson mentioned that when children are autonomous, they feel confident that they can make their own decisions. This is my goal.  I want her to be able to feel positive and secure about herself and the choices she makes.</p>
<p> She is a pretty nice toddler going to preschooler. If someone ask me to identify her temperament patterns I will define her as a girl with high activity levels, easy going, easily diverted, highly sensitive to her and other’s emotions, high intensity, optimistic and high persistent. She is also an irregular eater with no sleeping or bowel movement schedules. Regarding her sensory awareness, she is very aware to pain, easily pleased, notices few variations in food, doesn’t notice odors too much, likes sounds; especially music and she is visually insensitive to light (Seattle, 1998)</p>
<p> Meta-parenting defined as a class of evaluative parental though concerning the childrearing domain that typically occurs before or after parent-child interaction (Golden &#38; Hawk, 2003), has been always present in my learning experience as a mother. I used to anticipate my daughter. Although I always felt I was having a girl, we spent numerous hours discussing and shaping our dream baby. After her birth, I started to wonder about her development and I compared her with other children.  I have been able to recognize problems like how to discipline her and discussed them with my husband. I am seeking vast knowledge in the parenting area so I can practice praxis; action and reflection (Freire, 1972) in my experience as an effective mother.</p>
<p> Erikson assumes people continue to grow and become healthier as they mature as parents and I agree. I also need to accept that being a student and a working mother can be stressful. <strong>Parenting is not a high-profile job</strong>. It doesn’t put you in the line for a promotion, the hours are exhausting and most of the time, the lunch hours and breaks are often nonexistent. Adding to this unpaid job, a full time career, is not always fun. Do I feel healthier? Well, besides the extra pounds I still carrying from my pregnancy and the stressful situations I have had with her, I feel renovated, stronger and full of energy every time I see my daughter and baby boy smiling faces<a href="http://latinomoms.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dscn0312.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26" title="DSCN0312" src="http://latinomoms.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dscn0312.jpg?w=224" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[just got you&#8217;ve got a friend in pennsylvania #1 in the mail from sari, who, despite being from]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>just got <strong>you&#8217;ve got a friend in pennsylvania #1</strong> in the mail from <a href="http://crustyriotgrrl.wordpress.com/">sari</a>, who, despite being from pennsylvania, is actually currently living in my hometown and we probably know a bunch of the same people which is hilarious, since i got this zine from a random ning trade.  also this zine is bound with needle and thread which always impresses me. as a side note, i don&#8217;t usually bind my zines because i want people to make copies and give them to people, but if you think that&#8217;s annoying, please vote and tell me to get off my lazy ass and make my zines stick together somehow. </p>
<p>ANYWAY.  the first part of <strong>you&#8217;ve got a friend in pennsylvania</strong> is sari&#8217;s travel diary from her study abroad in slovenija, which at first i was hesitant to read because i tend to get bored by people&#8217;s stories about how cool monuments are and shit like that.  also this zine is totally text-heavy and therefore does not fulfill my usual desire for zines that i can read in the time span of a poop.  but i persisted and it was worth it&#8211;not a monument to be found.  when i finished that section of the zine i wanted to read more, which is sweet because sari will be printing more of her travel journal in issue #2.  yo, sari, this trading relationship is not through.  speaking of relationships, the rest of the zine mostly deals with those: old friends who have drifted apart, mothers, (ex)boyfriends.  i wonder if sari has read culture slut or if amber has read you&#8217;ve got a friend in pennsylvania, because they both deal with issues of queer invisibility when badasss queer ladies are dating straight cis men.  the last piece in the zine is from a paper sari wrote on menstruation, which was really interesting and actually i think might help with the seminar paper i&#8217;m writing on female facial hair.  sari formatted the piece in two sections: theory and praxis (which i would like to do with my paper), and also writes about the desire to &#8220;separate ourselves from our &#8216;dirty&#8217; bodily functions,&#8221; and the way that menstruation is delegated to a private space of shame or at best a hassle.  </p>
<p>if you want a copy of <strong>you&#8217;ve got a friend in pennsylvania #1</strong> email sari at youvegotafriendinpa@gmail.com. </p>
<p><img src="http://sassyfrasscircus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo-on-2009-11-14-at-21-44.jpg" alt="Photo on 2009-11-14 at 21.44" title="Photo on 2009-11-14 at 21.44" width="450" height="337" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-611" /></p>
<p>also just got <strong>culture slut #19</strong> and <strong>culture slut #20</strong> from <a href="http://hello-amber.blogspot.com/">amber forrester</a> in montreal, who is pretty much my zine hero.  she makes me want to be a better zinester.  one day&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://sassyfrasscircus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo-on-2009-11-15-at-12-11.jpg" alt="Photo on 2009-11-15 at 12.11" title="Photo on 2009-11-15 at 12.11" width="450" height="337" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-613" /><br />
<strong>Culture Slut #19</strong> deals heavily with boys in all their shittiness&#8211;amber includes a trigger warning about the first part of the zine.  besides the epic assholeness of dudes, #19 talks a lot about coming into a queer identity, and the struggles of doing that particularly while dating cis dudes.  I can identify, lady.  maybe i&#8217;ll make a zine about shitheads-i-have-dated and send it your way.  other than being a damn good writer with things to say, amber is great at making zines really visually interesting with the incorporation of found images from old books and magazines, text from a label maker as well as a typewriter and so forth. also i was able to read this entire zine while pooping, which, for those of you who know, is something that always makes a zine a winner in my book.</p>
<p><img src="http://sassyfrasscircus.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/photo-on-2009-11-15-at-12-11-2.jpg" alt="Photo on 2009-11-15 at 12.11 #2" title="Photo on 2009-11-15 at 12.11 #2" width="450" height="337" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-614" /></p>
<p>In the words of <strong>culture slut #20</strong>&#8217;s epic author, &#8220;This zine is about getting settled in the city [Montreal], queerness, cats and periods.&#8221;  It is also about love, living somewhere where you don&#8217;t speak the language, going back to school, city-biking, shitty gyno experiences, going to Pride for the first time, losing childhood pets, the word &#8220;cunt,&#8221; zine reviews&#8230;#20 also has a lovefest for the divacup, in common with <strong>you&#8217;ve got a friend</strong> which makes me kind of want to go buy one.  i bought one a couple of years ago and found it didn&#8217;t fit comfortably but who knows&#8230;anyone want to lend me one to give it a shot? </p>
<p>In any case, Amber remains an inspiration and <strong>Culture Slut</strong> is a delight.  One day I will go to Montreal and we will high five. </p>
<p>Okay, I have an epic amount of work to do and also need to go to Value Village today because my dress shoes fell apart at Homoween.  </p>
<p>Hope you&#8217;re having a sunny Sunday,<br />

<strong>Peter D. Thomas</strong></p>

<p>Antonio Gramsci&#8217;s Prison Notebooks are today acknowledged as a classic of the human and social sciences in the twentieth century. The influence of his thought in numerous fields of scholarship is only exceeded by the diverse interpretations and readings to which it has been subjected, resulting in often contradictory &#8216;images of Gramsci&#8217;.</p>
<p>This book draws on the rich recent season of Gramscian philological studies in order to argue that the true significance of Gramsci&#8217;s thought consists in its distinctive position in the development of the Marxist tradition. Providing a detailed reconsideration of Gramsci&#8217;s theory of the state and concept of philosophy, The Gramscian Moment argues for the urgent necessity of taking up the challenge of developing a &#8216;philosophy of praxis&#8217; as a vital element in the contemporary revitalisation of Marxism.</p>
<p><strong>Peter D. Thomas</strong> (Ph.D, 2008) studied at the University of Queensland, Freie Universität Berlin, L’Università “Federico II”, Naples, and the Universiteit van Amsterdam. He has published widely on Marxist political theory and philosophy. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal <em>Historical Materialism: research in critical Marxist theory</em>.</p>
<p>REVIEWS</p>
<p>Peter Thomas&#8217; book should become the standard text in English on Gramsci&#8217;s thought. Acquainted as he is with the latest wrinkle in the Italian debate on Gramsci, Thomas combines an unmatched philological research into the sources and a mastery of the ongoing debates about the sense we should make of key ideas like hegemony. He deftly overturns the received orthodoxy and the various abuses of the ideas of the Marxist militant by theorists of cultural studies, both restoring Gramsci&#8217;s work to its true status and opening up fruitful possibilities for understanding his contribution to political theory more generally. The best book on Gramsci&#8217;s political theory for three decades &#8212; Alastair Davidson, Author of Antonio Gramsci: the Man, his Ideas, and Antonio Gramsci: Towards an Intellectual Biography</p>
<p>Peter Thomas&#8217;s Gramsci is the one we need in an era of economic and geopolitical crises that bears some resemblances to Gramsci&#8217;s own time. This Gramsci is no embarrassed culturalist, confused strategist, or incipient post-Marxist. Thomas&#8217;s Gramsci, developed from rigorous critical study of the Prison Notebooks and of the now extensive scholarly literature, is a deeply consequent thinker intent on reconstructing revolutionary Marxism in opposition to the most advanced bourgeois thought of his day. This is also a Gramsci for whom political economy is of central methodological and substantive significance.  Not content with scholarly interpretation, Thomas draws his Gramsci into dialogue with contemporary radical thought, illuminating both sides of the conversation. This is a book that will recast the understanding of Gramsci, especially but not exclusively in the Anglophone world &#8212; Alex Callinicos, Professor of European Studies, Social Theory and International Political Economy, King&#8217;s College, London</p>
<p>What superlatives can I use to describe this book? Terms like ‘outstanding,’ ‘superb’ and ‘tour-de-force’ suggest themselves, but even these do not fully capture the extraordinary power of The Gramscian Moment. Peter Thomas’s erudite, wide-ranging, and staggeringly sophisticated reading of Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks completely overturns the dominant interpretations including those of Louis Althusser and Perry Anderson. Never again will we be able to read Gramsci solely through their lenses. Henceforth, Thomas’s magisterial exploration of Gramsci’s thought will become the critical point of reference for all serious work in the field. But Thomas does more than meticulous exegesis. He also insists on the actuality of Gramsci’s work, urging that we approach it in the spirit of “both continuation and transformation, fidelity and renewal.” He succeeds brilliantly on all counts &#8212; David McNally, Professor of Political Science, York University, Toronto</p>
<p>Peter Thomas&#8217;s The Gramscian Moment demonstrates the extent to which Gramsci’s thought represents a singular synthesis of virtually the entire tradition of Western political thought. The richness of his interpretative frameworks allows him both to integrate partial approaches and contributions and to throw new light on the central questions inherited by this tradition. This work succeeds in presenting Gramsci as a &#8220;living classic&#8221;, an author absolutely central to our understanding of modernity. Given its scope, richness and originality, I have no doubt that this work will represent a milestone in Gramscian scholarship and an important contribution to contemporary debates in political theory and philosophy &#8212; Stathis Kouvelakis, Author of Philosophy and Revolution and Co-editor of a Critical Companion to Contemporary Marxism</p>
<p>The Gramscian Moment is the most thorough and illuminating philosophical study of Gramsci yet to appear in English. It sets a new standard for work not only on Gramsci himself but on the whole complex of issues associated with his legacy – on the mechanics and dimensions of hegemony, on the role and nature of the subject of political action, on the relation between theory and practice, and between civil society and the state. Thomas does more than any previous reader of Gramsci to demonstrate how his philosophy can fairly claim to meet Marx&#8217;s famous prescription – not merely &#8220;to interpret the world but to change it&#8221; &#8212; Peter Hallward, Professor of Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University, London</p>
