USA open RWC Repechage with lop-sided win over Kenya

USA open RWC Repechage with lop-sided win over Kenya

The USA opened the World Cup Repechage tournament with a 68-14 win over Kenya on Sunday. Sticky conditions in Dubai contributed to some sloppy play from the Eagles in the first half, but they were always in control with their dominant scrum wearing down the Simbas pack.

It was a scrappy start to the game from both sides, and Siaosi Mahoni was then sent to the bin for a reckless clearout at a ruck. The USA regained possession and Paul Lasike crashed through the defense, with Jamason Fa’anana-Schultz powering over but his grounding was deemed a second-movement and the try was waved off.

A cross-kick from Luke Carty resulted in a yellow to Geoffrey Okwach for dangerous play, the Kenyan winger leaping feet-first into the air. At last a score came for the Eagles through hooker Dylan Fawsitt, who peeled around the back of a lineout and charged through the line.

Darwin Mukidza attempted a long-range penalty goal for Kenya that was off-target. At the other end Fawsitt got a double on a straight-forward lineout drive. Before halftime Fa’anana-Schultz muscled over to redeem his earlier miss and make it 19-nil to the Eagles after 40 minutes.

Fawsitt got his hat trick not long into the second half from another lineout drive, and then Christian Dyer’s inside line caught the defense wrong-footed for another USA try. Kenya found a burst of inspiration and broke down the field, with Brian Juma on the end to get the Simbas on the board.

The Eagles fired back with three tries in quick succession. Nate Augspurger touched down after a Mitch Wilson break, then Dyer grabbed a brace at the end of a long attacking sequence that started at the USA’s 22-meter line. Dyer would match Fawsitt’s triple on a miss-out pass from AJ MacGinty.

Mike Sosene-Feagai was next to find the line from a driving maul, and then Wilson himself slipped through to make it an even 10 tries for the Eagles. A late consolation score went to Kenya as the loose forwards combined to free Joshua Weru for a breakaway try on debut.

Hong Kong will take on Portugal next to wrap up the first round in Dubai. Next week will see the Eagles playing the Dragons, while Os Lobos will square off against the Simbas.

“-And that, Chip, is how I became friends with your husband first.”

“Absolutely not.”

This is based off of this post and a few giggles between Soup and I. Charlie had a rough finals week his first year and had very little sleep and very little drinks other than questionably obtained Firewhisky, so his and Mitch’s first meeting was certainly... an eventful one.

Charlie Copper belongs to @drinkyoursoupbitch

Mitch C. Hodge belongs to me!

Hahaha, so...today, December 28, 2020, is my foul-mouthed HPMA DADA Teacher’s Assistant kiddo Erik Apollo’s birthday...as well as my 30th! (EEK!!)

Those balloons were definitely left in my boy’s office by some of his students as a joke -- dunno whether it was Jordi Prewett @cursebreakerelmswood, Mitch C. Hodge @department-shoe-stud, H.G. Gray @ljthebard1, or his “little sister” Eos Amari, but you can bet your ass he loved them and immediately showed them off proudly to his friend Professor Jasper Jericho “Jay” Kingsley. I think even Erik’s immediate superior Professor Alistair Schaefer @cursebreakerfarrier couldn’t completely bite back a laugh at the sight of them.

Wishing everyone happy holidays! In Erik-muse’s words, after how shitty of a year we’ve had, I’d say we’re in need of them! xoxo

#erik apollo #my art #personal #jordi prewett #mitch c. hodge #henrietta gray #eos amari #alistair schaefer #jasper jericho kingsley #hpma #magic awakened #also yes that vest is modeled off of han solo's #erik is ze ultimate star wars nerd #his first cat familiar was even a tuxedo cat named han solo!

JANUARY 2018 — I love audiobooks; this is no secret. Here’s all the ones I listened to during the month!

The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock

Narrators: Jorjeana Marie, Erin Tripp, Karissa Vacker, Robbie Daymond

I don’t think listening to this on audio really does much for the experience of this book, though I will say it makes the book go faster. The different narrators help differentiate the characters from one another.

The Diviners by Libba Bray

Narrator: January LaVoy

The introduction was done so well, so ominous and creepy, and I love how she embodies Evie O’Neil. There’s a balance of serious and fun going on throughout the audio, and it’s largely due to how she narrated it. She knew when to switch from a detached third person narrator to a highly invested omniscient narrator.

The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom

Narrators: Mitch Albom, Roger McGuinn, Ingrid Michaelson, John Pizzarelli, Paul Stanley, George Guidall, Mike Hodge, Robin Miles, Christian Baskous, Tony Chiroldes, Kevin O'Neil, Adriana Sananes, Ken Brown, Sarab Kamoo

I absolutely loved this audiobook! The book itself is structured so that the readers get a kind of interview with someone Frankie met in his life, and having different people narrate that chapter was really wonderful because it truly felt like a conversation. Albom does a great job narrating as Music, and this cast really just brought this story to life.

The Martian by Andy Weir

Narrator: R. C. Bray

I think listening to this on 1x speed really dampened my liking both for the book itself as well as this audiobook. It made the book go super slowly, and I felt like the story dragged. (My fault entirely there.) I also don’t think Bray did much variation in his style of narration between the first person account from Watney and the third person for everyone else, which made for difficult differentiation between situations.

Othello by Shakespeare

Cast: Owiso Odera, Ian Merrill Peakes, Janie Brookshire, Karen Peakes, Louis Butelli, Thomas Keegan, Chris Genebach, Jeff Allin, Joe Guzman, Todd Scofield, Zehra Fazel (Folger Library)

Listening to Shakespeare on audio is a whole new experience. So much of how we understand characters in his plays are through intonation, and this cast did a good job. This full production audiobook (with music and sound effects) just enrich the story. I can’t wait to listen to more Shakespeare.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Narrator: Bahni Turpin

Turpin gave this book so much life, and I highly recommend listening to this book on audio. She did such a wonderful job narrating the story and creating many different personas for each of the characters. My favorite are the hilarious white girl accents. She knows how to set the mood, and I love love love this audiobook.

The Speaker by Traci Chee

Narrator: Kim Mai Guest

Another great audiobook! I love the way her tone changes every time we to a different storyline, which really help enrich the story even further. She does such a wonderful job of delivering the story, giving each character a distinct voice, and creating a really rich world.

Historical theology informs and educates present-day Bible readers

Lebanon (MNN) – Historical theology. It is a topic that seeps into every theology class an undergraduate Bible major or seminary student takes. It is the long list of questions various believers and non-believers have posed over the centuries, which led to multiple creeds for the Church to collectively understand and explain the Scriptures. Historical theology is the study of what people have said about God and God’s works through history. For Christian theology, historical theology is closely tied to the study of how Christians have understood the Word of God over the centuries. (Read more on good theology from The Gospel Coalition here.)

The “What” of Historical Theology

(Photo by Valentin Rechitean on Unsplash)

Caleb Hutcherson, faculty development lead and lecturer in historical theology at Arab Baptist Theological Seminary, is passionate about teaching historical theology to Arab evangelical students. This love for historical theology started during his studies at Dallas Theological Seminary when his class on historical theology opened up his understanding of the rich diversity of thought and practice in the history of Christianity. The course gave Hutcherson a new perspective and fresh insight into his faith. “Historical theology [demonstrates how theology] is always contextual. Part of the beauty of studying historical theology is that it really exposes how contextual and perspectival doing theology is. So, when we look at history and listen to others who have done theology in history, context is there, and their experiences are there. The use of reason is there in all kinds of different ways. [You see the] different ways of weighing reason alongside tradition in relationship to the Bible,” Hutcherson says.

Finding a Path Through History

As students of historical theology take a step back and look at the topic from a wide-angle, a traceable continuity of the beliefs and practices of Christian believers spanning the history of the Church reveals itself. At the same time, the discontinuity of beliefs and practices through history introduces students to the diversity within the Christian tradition. “We often have a tendency to think [favorably] of our own [personal] sufficiency [when reading the Bible]. So, me and my Bible, and the Holy Spirit is all that I need in order to know what to do and how to believe. That sort of rugged individualism, this...hyper-individualistic belief, that really all I need is me and the Bible, and because I’m indwelled by the Holy Spirit, then I’m set to go,” Hutcherson explains.

This mindset feeds the mentality in ourselves that we do not need to listen to what other people have to say about God’s Word. A belief in self means the mistakes of Christians from the past are easier to repeat. This mentality can also create a divide in the Church and isolate people from the body of Christ. Studying historical theology helps believers avoid clinging too tightly to traditions for the sake of tradition or distorting the past to hold onto concepts or practices that are unbiblical. The study of historical theology “provides us wisdom for the present and for the future.” Studying historical theology also helps believers experiment with new ideas and think carefully about new questions. One of the new ideas Hutcherson provides as an example is the Bible app. The innovation of the app offers a new way to access scripture through a new medium. This same app also raises questions of how people relate to the physical scriptures. Reading God’s Word through an app impacts how readers consume scripture as a collection of individual verses instead of a linked narrative. In this scenario, historical perspectives help the present-day Church recognize how past innovations produced both positive and negative impacts.

Historical Theology and You

(Photo by K. Mitch Hodge on Unsplash)

Studying historical theology exposes an essential distinction between theology and revelation. Revelation is what God has said and done, while theology is what people say about God’s Word. Hutcherson explains historical theology helps the Church grapple with this tension. It helps untangle knots of “confusing revelation (what God says) with theology (which is what we say).” Theology is our commentary, and each person has their unique lens through which he or she views the world, God, and the Bible. “Historical theology informs our understanding of God in that it helps us recognize who’s doing theology,” Hutcherson says. Historical theology aids in distinguishing what we say God says from actual revelation. “Recognizing those subjectivities all throughout history, I think, exposes our own subjectivities towards the text and towards God’s revelation,” Hutcherson notes. But, if theology is what “we” say about what God says, then how can anyone trust any theology? Excellent question. The answer is a previously mentioned ten letter word beginning with the letter “c”— continuity.

Historical theology brings the researcher to a place of confronting his or her biases towards the text. These biases are a result of someone’s education, family, the context of their childhood, personal sin nature, cultural background, economic background, nationality, sex, race, and much more. “We’re all reading...[the] Bible, this text that’s authoritative in our lives, from these contextual perspectives...historical theology provides us is a sense of [where our reading and understanding is in] continuity with the past. It offers us a resource to compare what we’ve understood with not just those who are different from us in the present, and that’s incredibly important...but it offers us a chance to think about the continuity with those who have different perspectives or come from different perspectives in the past,” Hutcherson says. “We can never escape from our bias to the present unless we go back and pay attention to what other people said in the past. Historical theology offers us perspective outside of ourselves from the past about how to understand what God has said in scripture.”

Authority of Scripture

Historical theology exposes believers to the "presence of different perspectives." This exposure has the potential to guide Christians away from beliefs thought essential to the Christian faith, but are dogmatic and not biblically supported.

“Through the process of studying theology historically, we come to recognize what is essential to Christian faith, as well as what is not. This challenges us to walk in humility, with a healthy sense of openness and willingness to grow and learn,” Hutcherson notes in an email. Historical theology helps broaden the Church’s understanding of God’s Word and remove blinders, which would otherwise inhibit our ability to understand the Bible. “The diversity that makes up the body of Christ is an incredible resource for us. It’s the testimony of the Holy Spirit through the diverse community of the Spirit. We desperately need to gain humility in order to learn from others within the body of Christ. Historical theology contributes that perspective from a historical perspective,” Hutcherson says.

“The authority of scripture is not something that we deny. We acknowledge that, and all are subject to and submit to the text of scripture. That’s a part of what constitutes this community of the Holy Spirit that interprets that scripture. “The other side of that...is that that the presence of the Holy Spirit in all of us actually challenges us to humility towards each other to recognize our own subjectivities. So, in some way, the authority of the text is held up and maintained, [while] our authority as interpreters becomes something that we [can] question, that we wrestle with, that we certainly take seriously but that we’re very cautious and careful about.”

Historical Theology on the Personal Level

(Photo by Ramy Kabalan on Unsplash)

Since Hutcherson is an American teaching in Lebanon, he has the opportunity to dialogue with Arabic-speaking followers of Christ daily about theology. These relationships provide a unique opportunity to listen to theology in the context of interfaith dialogue in a country where Christians are a minority. Historical theology is not just a topic taught in a classroom, but a way of engaging with the global body of Christ and remaining true to God’s Word. “Being in this context and wanting to do historical theology that is particularly meaningful to students in my classroom has meant pushing further into Arab Christian history and trying to understand [their engagement] with Islam [and] with Muslims,” Hutcherson says.

(Photo courtesy of ABTS)

Hutcherson comments the body of Christ has a lot to learn from the history of Arabic-speaking followers of Christ, “from both the points [of] vitality and the points of weakness and mistakes”. Learning from the diverse body of Christ helps believers “recognize attitudes and approaches that continue to shape our engagement with each other today”. Want to dig deeper into historical theology for yourself? Seminaries are always a great place to learn. A quick search through podcasts will also turn up valuable resources. However, these podcasts are ultimately based on texts, books. Hutcherson recommends the book “On The Incarnation” by Athanasius of Alexandria (d. 373).

We will intensify efforts to meet each of our cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st century clean energy economy.

We will continue to lead. We are increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. We will buy and create more demand for electric cars and trucks. We will increase our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create a clean energy economy, and stand for environmental justice. And if the President wants to break the promises made to our allies enshrined in the historic Paris Agreement, we’ll build and strengthen relationships around the world to protect the planet from devastating climate risks.

The world cannot wait — and neither will we.

Thank you for the inspiration, @cursebreakerelmswood ! The thought of Mitch, Jordi, H. G. ( @ljthebard1 ), and Eos Amari hiding in the closet after setting up the balloons is top-tier comedy!!!

I don’t know who you are anon... but i love you ;-; Okay fun fact~ Kim siblings edition

If the four of them would have to name a favourite person who isn’t family nor a romantic interest, their answers are pretty clear.

Roxanni: Mitch C Hodge ( @department-shoe-stud ). Roxy has developed a soft spot for Mitch when he first started visiting her in the counselor’s office. Roxy already adores kids younger than her, especially those who struggle with anxiety but aren’t afraid to work on it, like Mitch. Roxy might have studied psychology for 4 years in the muggle world, but sometimes she hears Mitch mention things he tried before that she never heard of and always takes a mental note of that. Sometimes when Mitch comes into her office they just talk about mundane things while having a butterbeer together.

Levi: Carewyn Cromwell ( @carewyncromwell ) , she’s a good friend of his parents and was there to help and talk to him when he was nervous about coming out as asexual to his family. He learned a lot from her and admires her greatly.

Junsu: Erik Apollo (Aka his future brother in law 👀). Junsu and Erik have a friendly, competetive relationship. Erik had already won some of Junsu’s respect by being a good teacher and a masterful dueller, but proceeded to win his admiration as well with his chess skills. From there on out the two became decent friends who are always up for a competitive “war” (read: Game of chess).

Nari: Cassandra. (Magic awakened) Nari THRIVES on mischief and competition, so having a rival she has to face daily brings her nothing but joy and the occasional irritation

The best available players after the 1st round of the NFL Draft

Missouri QB Drew Lock is one of the key storylines to follow on Day 2 of the draft.

Three quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Just not quite in the order everyone expected. Sure, Kyler Murray went first overall as expected to the Arizona Cardinals. Then the New York Giants shocked everyone by taking Duke’s Daniel Jones at No. 6. Washington ended Dwayne Haskins’ free fall, taking the Ohio State product at No. 15.

But the quarterback who missed out on the first round was Drew Lock of Missouri. Going into the second day of the draft, where Lock lands is the most intriguing storyline. But he’s not the best player available.

The second day of the draft will also feature plenty of offensive linemen, wide receivers and cornerbacks. Several of them, in fact, were considered first-round players by many.

The top player left is Washington cornerback Byron Murphy. Don’t expect him to last long in the second round.

This is easily the most ambitious comic I’ve ever made. Look at all these MCs. Look at them.

And here’s the moment where Mitch and Erik realized, “Oh shit, that’s going to be my cousin-in-law.” The MC Summer BBQ has never had so much drama, not even when Charlie and Charlie Inc sang for thirty minutes straight, or when Wendy and Annie dropped Belch Powder into all of the drinks.

Charlie Copper and Wendy Gordon-Copper belong to @drinkyoursoupbitch

Mitch, Chip, and Annie belong to me!

There! Finalized my model sheet for my HPMA girl, Anastasia Read! You can read more about her here at this moodboard post I did for her, but basically she’s a Gryffindor who dreams more than she talks and is determined to be the heroine of her own fantasy story.

Some more info about Ana under the cut...

Ana doesn’t resemble her biological parents, John Read and Bonnie Pinkstone-Read, much at all except in hair color (both are also brunettes). Her soft, endomorph frame, strong shoulders, and bluish gray eyes come from her maternal grandfather. As an adult Ana’s even taller than her mother Bonnie, who’s very petite all the way around.

Poor Ana is actually quite self-conscious about her weight, thanks in no small part to the, um...attempts at support from her mother Bonnie, who frequently expresses “concern” about Ana’s health because of her size. At school she wears a highwaisted skirt to hide her tummy, as if she wore a skirt like all of the other girls’, she’d look like -- in her mother’s words -- “a sack of potatoes tied in two.” It’s also the reason she always wears pants, tights or leggings -- she thinks her legs are very chubby and unattractive. Despite her roundness, however, Ana’s also always had very strong shoulders and is on the taller side compared to her other female classmates, which helps her put off a tougher image.

Bonnie Read’s biggest foible as a mother is her immaturity. She wants to be Ana’s “friend” more than a mentor most of the time, and so has difficulty enforcing discipline or even in setting a good example. Bonnie almost immediately dated three other men after divorcing John, all of whom either pointedly ignored or expressed open resentment toward her daughter Ana, before she finally met, dated, and married her second husband. Bonnie’s dependent personality and (as mentioned) subconscious weightism doesn’t help matters either.

Ana’s father John Read is an active-duty soldier. He’s actually an incredibly absent father who never really had much interest in having a family, but Ana’s always put him on a bit of pedestal, partly because of her image of him having become a soldier for noble reasons like serving his country and partly because him not being there to actively be a poor parent like her mother Bonnie made it easier for Ana to romanticize John in her mind. Ana writes to John very frequently. John doesn’t write back much at all.

Ana’s best mentor figure is her stepfather, Bradley Pinkstone (a wizard and Gryffindor alumnus himself). He and his two grown sons Jasper and Preston (a Slytherin and Gryffindor in their day) are very affectionate toward Ana, which kind of weirded her out at first, considering she’s not their blood relative and she’d assumed they’d hate her...but oh, was she ever so glad to be wrong! The new Pinkstone-Read family live in a rather pretty brick house in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Her best and favorite class is History of Magic, but she tends to enjoy all classes where she can write essays. She’s always been miles ahead of her classmates when it comes to writing, especially considering that there are no specific writing or grammar classes taught at Hogwarts. Just about every written assignment Ana’s ever submitted has gotten an O.

Contrariwise, she struggles in classes that are more “physical” like Care of Magical Creatures or Flying.

Despite not getting into Flying class or Quidditch, though, Ana does take time to practice flying on her own at night when no one else is around. She finds moonlit broom rides incredibly romantic and great inspiration whenever she’s suffering from writer’s block.

Ana’s an avid journal keeper! She goes through a good five of them every year. She generally magically shrinks her finished creativity journals for easier storage, and she always hexes whichever one she’s currently writing in order to make sure no one else can open it. (If you’re somehow lucky enough to get her permission, she’ll open her creativity journal for you so you can read it and look at the doodles she did.)

Her favorite authors are Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Hans Christian Andersen, and William Shakespeare. Her favorite type of movies are high fantasy like The Princess Bride, Stardust, and The Lord of the Rings.

Ana’s also huge into Japanese manga! Her one true love is Sailor Moon, but she’s very fond of shoujo manga titles like Cardcaptor Sakura, Ouran High School Host Club, and Fruits Basket.

Ana’s favorite musical genre is symphonic metal, introduced to her by her oldest stepbrother Jasper. Her favorite bands are Within Temptation, Evanescence, and Nightwish.

As a teenager, Ana falls in love with the Victorian Gothic and steampunk subcultures, the first of which Jasper dabbles in and the second of which Preston is hard-core into. Being an INFP, she loves the creativity, historical bent, and romanticism in both movements. At the Pinkwood-Read family’s formal Christmas parties, you’ll often see all three of them wearing top hats with their holiday ensembles.

Ana does NOT make friends easily, but once you do become her friend, she’s always got your back. Her BFF is Hufflepuff Robin Isherwood @cursebreakerfarrier. She also gets along pretty well with Gryffindor housemate Lorcan O’Donnell @unfortunate-arrow, Slytherin Jordi Prewett @cursebreakerelmswood, Ravenclaw Noa March @that-ravenpuff-witch and Hufflepuffs Mitch C. Hodge @department-shoe-stud and HG Gray @ljthebard1. They all either call Anastasia “Ana” or “Annie” -- her stepfather and brothers call her “Anya.”

Upon finding out how much her BFF Robin likes flowers and plants, Ana went out of her way to collect some books on the Victorian language of flowers. (Her brother Jasper gave her a hand with finding some good ones.) One Valentine’s Day she even sent Robin a friendship bouquet of irises, goldenrod, oak-leaved geraniums, and southernwood without any sort of note -- not that it was necessary, given that flowers’ message translated to “Just wanted to let you know you’ll always be my best friend.” (Everyone else assumed Robin had this mysterious secret admirer.)

If anyone rubs Ana the wrong way, they can expect a formal dueling challenge. Ana is witty on the page, but not verbally, and she’s upfront and honorable enough when she’s angry to want to “take it outside” and settle the dispute on the dueling field the way a knight would avenge a slight to their king’s honor, rather than be backhanded or sneaky about it.

Ana may be cisgender and identify as straight, but she is the ULTIMATE LGBT+ ally. Even when she was a kid, she would get very hot under the collar about homophobia, racism, or any other sort of prejudice, thanks to her Gryffindor sense of honor and her INFP sensitivity, and after Bonnie married Bradley and Ana met Jasper (who’s transgender FtM himself), Ana became all the more passionate about LGBT+ rights. She only becomes more vocal in her support after some of her friends come out of the closet too.

Ana’s greatest fear is being insignificant. This is depicted in boggart form as the whole room around her suddenly becoming huge, to the point where she’s as tiny and helpless as a mouse.

Ana’s Patronus is a black swan. If she ever became an Animagus, she’d be a large brown and gray tabby cat with oddly colored bluish gray eyes.

I could see Ana one day becoming a well-regarded author of fiction books for young magical children.
