Home » Blog » Gospel of Thomas
Thomas has gone down in Christian tradition as doubting Thomas because of his refusal to believe in the resurrection until he could see and touch Jesus, a story told in the gospel of John 20:19-31. Thomas is often identified with the Judas in Mark 6:3 and John 14:22, so his full name was probably Judas Thomas – and also called 'Didymus' or twin
The name Thomas in Aramaic (Tau'ma) means twin or double and the name Didymos in Greek also means twin, one who had a brother or a sister born with him at the same time. So it is in effect saying Judas twin, twin. There is no answer to the obvious question, "Whose twin?" In some Syrian churches, there is a belief that he was Jesus' twin brother. In the Book of Thomas the Contender, there is a text detailing the dialogue between the risen Jesus and Judas Thomas before Jesus' ascension. Jesus calls him "brother," "twin," and "friend." But for Didymus Judas Thomas to be Jesus' identical or fraternal twin seems highly unlikely – no mention is made anywhere in the New Testament that Mary gave birth to twins. Far more likely is that Thomas was an identical twin not related to Jesus, and that became his nickname in the band of apostles. Judas was his proper name, but everyone called him 'twin', or Thomas, because there was at least one other Judas amongst the disciples. Much as in Wales, you might get someone called Dai the twin, to distinguish him from all the other Dai's, so we get Judas the Twin.
As well as being doubting, Thomas is famous for another reason. The Apostle Peter took Christianity to Rome, Paul spread the good news to Greece and Turkey, Mark Christianized Egypt, and the tradition says that Judas Didymos Thomas brought Christianity to Syria and India. The Church of South India strongly identifies with Thomas as their founder. Christianity is India's third-largest religion, with approximately 24 million followers, 2.3 per cent of India's population. Eastern Christian writings state that Thomas introduced Christianity to India in Kerala in 52 AD to spread the gospel amongst Kerala's Jewish settlements.
But nowadays, Thomas is also becoming famous for another writing, the Gospel of Thomas. This was around when the early Church fathers were writing, but it was thought to be lost. It was rediscovered as one of 46 texts in the Nag Hammadi collection found in the late 1940's – which after various shady dealings got to the scholars around 1955 and then only entered the Christian mainstream in the late 1970's.
Why was it hidden in the Egyptian sands? One theory goes like this. Prior to the first attempt to shortlist of the canon of the New Testament in 367 AD by Athanasius, early Christianity was very fluid with no fixed canon of texts or creeds. All sorts of texts were used, some of them very far-fetched stories about Jesus or his birth, or things that the apostles did. When the NT was canonised, many of these texts and gospel stories got left out. There was a period of dispute over what should be in and what should be out, until we arrived at what we have now. It is thought that the Gospel of Thomas was among several sacred texts from a monastic library, which were placed in ceramic jars and hidden by monks around 400 AD. The monks presumably could not bear to destroy these precious and sacred texts so they were hidden as a kind of 'time capsule' for the future to receive them. The Gospel of Thomas is representative of the 'lost Christianities' – the different forms of Christianity, which were around in the early centuries. Christianity began in pluralism with a whole bunch of spiritual communities at different levels of awareness and awakening, having their own favourite texts. It was only gradually that certain ones became accepted as authoritative, and others as not so much. Eventually, one view won out and asserted itself over all the others, assisted by Emperor Constantine and the might of the Roman Empire. All other views, many of them perfectly valid, got stamped on and labelled as heretical, with various horrendous penalties to be imposed if anyone was caught asserting them.
When the collection of texts was first discovered in 1945, they were called Gnostic gospels and they were demeaned as something opposed to Christianity, 'gnostic', and therefore thought to be heretical and 'demonised' in many circles. They were at first thought to be of late origin and therefore theologically deficient and contaminated. However, more recently scholars have come to believe that the early sayings of the Gospel of Thomas were very early and only 'gnostic' in the sense that they contain wisdom and knowledge, which is what gnostic means. They may have been copied by monks in the 4th century, but stemmed from much earlier.
The unusual thing about the Gospel of Thomas is that it is just a collection of sayings. There is no attempt to link them by a story or set them in a scene. It is as if someone wrote down every fragment they had come across of what Jesus said.
One scholar (April DeConnica) suggests that these oral sayings of Jesus were gradually collected and added to over a period of time, and that much of the Gospel of Thomas comes from 30 – 50 AD, i.e. much earlier than the canonised gospels, and contemporary with the letters of Paul. Because it is a group of sayings, rather than a narrative story, it is thought to have been added to as time went on, but the majority of it is probably very early, and reflects more of the actual words of Jesus than the canonical gospels. The early Thomas seems to come from ground zero, which is very exciting, but also very challenging, as it is not an easy read!
So what does it say? It begins like this:
I who write this am Judas Thomas – the double, the twin. Yeshua, the Living Master spoke, and his secret sayings I have written down. I assure you, whoever grasps their meaning will not know the taste of death.
That's the first saying. Yeshua is the Jewish name for Jesus. The second is:
Yeshua says, If you are searching, you must not stop until you find. When you find, however, you will become troubled. Your confusion will give way to wonder. In wonder you will reign over all things.
This is what happens when our old world view, our old paradigm, begins to fall apart. It's what is happening in society today. The old paradigm of constant growth and capital gain is breaking down, it has reached its limits – and we are disturbed, confused. But, says Jesus, Your confusion will give way to wonder. This is what happens we find a new way of understanding the world around us, a new world view. We're still waiting for that in world economics. It can apply to our spiritual viewpoint as well, we can have our eyes opened to see truths that have been staring us in the face, but we have not seen before. This is a central message in the Gospel of Thomas – that we need to awaken to the spiritual reality of existence.
There are 114 sayings altogether. These sayings are typical of the type that Jesus said in the New Testament gospels, such as Matthew 10:39 Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
They are not easy to understand! The sayings of the Gospel of Thomas are like Buddhist koans, short sayings designed to make you think hard, to chew them over, until some deeper revelation comes to you. It is typical of the way Jesus taught, in short sayings and also in his parables. They are cryptic, in the sense of making you go beyond the mind into a new way of looking at things. The idea is to lead to a transformation of consciousness, leading to the kingdom or realm of God that Jesus spoke so much about.
So, you might be thinking, if the Gospel of Thomas is the earliest recording of things Jesus said, why have the church authorities not embraced it with open arms? Well, it is still very early days – only 40 years since it became widely available for study. Changes in institutional church take longer than that! It is also a challengingly different type of gospel – no birth story, no trial, no resurrection, just things that Jesus said. But as the groundswell of opinion about it changes, these things that Jesus said could have an important impact on our understanding of what and how Jesus came to teach us. They reveal that he came to open our minds to the divine reality that is around us and in us. It also highlights how the early church failed to grasp hold of some of his teachings, or ignored them, and reverted back to a mainly sacrificial understanding of his life and death. More traditional believers will not want to deviate from the truths as handed down – but there was a lot of political and theological manoeuvring in the early church which resulted in what stayed in and what we have left out. What the Gospel of Thomas says is that there is a whole other side to Jesus just waiting to be explored and integrated into Christian understanding. I find that exciting to contemplate!
We can take heart from the words that Jesus spoke to Thomas the Twin in John 20:29-31
Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe." (30) Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. (31) But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.
Through believing, you may have life in his name? What does 'in his name' mean? In his name really means 'in his character', 'like him', 'in the same way that Jesus would'. What that means is that you may have life like his, life in all its fullness, resurrection life. We all have the potential to be like Jesus, to love, to give , to rise above our lower, false selves and find out who we really are in God. We are to be remade in the image of Jesus, to be transformed to be as he was, to put on the mind of Christ. This is our destiny and calling to rainbow, resurrection life. And as the gospel of Thomas says, 'whoever grasps the meaning will not know the taste of death.'

MUSIC PROFESSORS SHOW THEIR STUFF
By Kyle Beard
More than 50 members of the Valencia community gathered at the East Campus Performing Arts Center for a chance to hear their mentors perform on Thursday, Feb. 12.
The faculty recital is an annual event that gives students and members of the Orlando community a chance to get into the music and hear the work of their professors and colleagues.
"Our musical faculty is training the next generation of professional musicians," said the event organizer and interim dean for Arts and Entertainment Wendy Givoglu. "It's a really good opportunity for Valencia students and the community to be able to hear the talent of their professors."
The event showcased five performances consisting of guitar, piano and vocal pieces. Two of the pieces — performed by pianists Omar Surillo and Antonio Brett — were original compositions.
The theme was largely Latin American and Hispanic music, but ranged everywhere from pieces written by Robert Schumann to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
"There's a lot of hispanic culture in the area and the students love it," said Brett, a native of Cuba, who performed two original pieces titled 'Sonatina for Intermediate level based on Latin Rhythm' and 'Guajira in G minor.'
"I grew up around this type of music," said Daniel Chacon, a student here at Valencia, "the theme is very familiar."
The recital was a portion of the ongoing United Arts of Central Florida Arts Festival and the Valencia Arts and Entertainment Festival.
"I grew up appreciating music and this is really helping to broaden my horizons," said Andrea Justice, "I'll definitely be attending more after this."
The United Arts of Central Florida ArtsFest boasts more than 75 events throughout ake, Osceola, Orange, and Seminole Counties, including a Valencia presentation of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest."
ArtsFest is designed to create awareness of and drive participation from Central Florida residents and visitors to the wide variety of cultural opportunities available in the area. The even also serves as the kickoff to United Arts' annual fundraising campaign. More information is avalailable at www. unitedarts.cc.
"The Tempest" opens up its doors for 10 performances from Feb. 18 through March 1 at the East Campus' Black Box Theatre. Specific dates and times are in the 2009 Valencia events calender.

The pottery of Mohenjo-dara, one of the two major urban centers of the Indus Valley civilization (2500-2000 B.C.) is described and documented. The authors survey Harappan ceramic technology and style, and develop an important and unique approach to vessel form analysis and terminology.

"Of extraordinary interest to students of the Indus civilization. . . . [A] monumental volume."—Antiquity
"[This volume] is of extraordinary interest to students of the Indus civilization, since the study aims to achieve a level of analysis quite different from that of any of the earlier published reports on Indus sites. . . . There is a clear discussion of the crafts aspects, valuable because so little has been written on this aspect of the pottery of Mohenjo Daro in the past five decades. . . . No one can question the meticulous labour that has gone into producing this monumental volume."—Antiquity
"In the group of publications on the Harappan 'civilization' that have been forthcoming over the past decade this particular study ranks among the most significant. . . . We have in this study a research tool of immense value."—Quarterly Review of Archaeology

One of my favorite Christmas activities for kids is an advent calendar. An advent calendar is a way to count and celebrate the days leading up to Christmas. There are a million ways to make one or if you're not the crafty type, you can usually buy one in just about any store. I've always thought of filling advent calendars with candy or even small gifts, but that doesn't have to be the only option. Why not fill your advent calendar with activities that you and your family can do together to celebrate the holiday season? There are plenty of Christmas crafts and activities to fill your calendar.
You can fill envelopes with Christmas crafts or activities, then open one each night. Or, make a paper chain and upon removal, each chain would suggest different Christmas crafts or activities. Tuck strips of paper with activities printed on them in the calendar you already have. The possibilities are endless!
I know the holidays can be busy and also very stressful. But don't worry; these activities are not designed to put more on your plate. Some are small, some happen in the home, others involve going somewhere; but all of these Christmas activities for kids are designed to help you spend more quality time with your family over the holiday season.
Please share any Christmas activities for kids that you and your family share every year?

Just an hour or so away from Ljubljana by car, we arrived in Bled on another pristine day. The town is a popular tourist area due to its jaw-dropping beauty; owed in part to the 17th century gothic church perched perfectly on a small island in the middle of Lake Bled. The site of this church has been settled since the 9th century, and it may once have been the location of an ancient Slavic temple. We spent the afternoon hiking around the main lake area, a nearby gorge, and finally to the Mala Osojnica viewpoint for the best sunset view over the lake. As the pictures above demonstrate, it did not disappoint.

quot;Shocking revelations" and an "horrific breakdown of governance" in Orissa
"Shocking revelations" and an "horrific breakdown of governance" in Orissa
A former Speaker of the Indian parliament has challenged the government to stop Vedanta's headlong moves towards bauxite mining in Orissa. And a noted Indian commentator delivers a swingeing Open Letter to Orissa's Chief Minister condemning his policies.
Letter by Shri Rabi Ray, Fmr. Speaker, Lok Sabha to Minister, MOEF, GOI
Dear Shri Raja Jee,
You would recall my telephonic talk with you on the 24th of this month regarding the recent most gross irregularities that have come to the fore with regard to the Buxite mining of Miyamgiri and Karlapat Hills of Kalahandi district of Orissa. All leading newspapers in Orissa have come out with shocking revelations about the shady deal that has taken place between Government of Orissa and multinational companies.
It has come to my notice that MOUs have been signed which allowed for mining of Bauxite on the two mountains in the Kalahandi district of Orissa. This is a shocking development given the environmental, cultural and anthropological importance of these two mountain ranges and I am writing this letter to you in anticipation of application for Forest and Environment clearance of these mining projects by the Government of Orissa.
As per the newspaper reports, an alumina plant with an annual capacity of 1.4 million tonnes per annum is being set up in Lanjigarh, Lanjigarh Block of Kalahandi district. The plant will require over 6 million tonnes of bauxite per year which is sought to be mined from the bauxite deposits that cap the Niyamgiri Hill and the Karlapat Hill. The total requirement of the project over its lifetime is estimated to be over 150 million tonnes of bauxite. The mining will be done through open cast system in which the whole hill top will be removed to get at the bauxite reserve. The massive alumina plant and the township will be located just below the famed Niyamgiri Hill.
Both Niyamgiri and Karlapat Hills are bio-diversity hotspots with very dense forests. Both these hills were "game sanctuaries" previously and Karlapat has already been designated as a protected area under section 18 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. I don't need to argue about the environmental importance of Karlapat, as it is self evident.
Regarding Niyamgiri Hill, in his Revised Working Plan for the Reserve Forests and Proposed Reserve Forests of Kalahandi Forest Division for the period 1997-1998 to 2006-2007, working Plan Officer Shri K. R. Singh recommended for creation of the Niyamgiri Wild Life Sanctuary (9129.19 hectares) (P.142)
"XXX composition of bio-diversity in Niyamgiri R. F. Rout Jhimri Extn. P.R.F., Jalkrida R.F., and adjoining areas also demand creation of Protected Area" (P.134)
Tigers, Panthers, Leopards, spotted Deers etc., are found as the fauna whereas the plant diversity seems to be more remarkable in the Niyamgiri Hills. Rare plants like Krushna Jubaraj (Melasma Thomsonii) have been found in this region. Recently, the Proctological Society of India found during their survey that Niyamgiri was among the four major spots of Orissa where medicinal plants were found in abundance and in rich diversity (The Samaj, 11.02.02). The Forest Survey of India report admits to dense forest contiguity from around Devagiri in Rayagada district to the Niyamgiri Forest and further into the forests of Karlapat and Thuamal Rampur in Kalahandi district. It then turns south connecting the Tikeiu-Lelligumma and Gumma forests, and then on to the Narayanpatna forests in Koraput district. (The Hindu, Aug 8, 2004)
Apart from the tremendous intrinsic conservation and bio-diversity importance of the Niyamgiri, the hill also gives rise to the headwaters of two major rivers of South Orissa, the Nagavely and the Vamsadwara. The consequences of mining for bauxite in their headwaters can well be imagined.
The Niyamgiri hills are also the home of the Dongaria Kondhs, a primitive tribal group of Orissa famed for their horticulture. A large mine in midst of their homes will surely destroy their unique culture and way of life.
It is obvious to me that both Niyamgiri and Karlapat offer us what your ministry categorizes as "incomparable value" in its Draft Environmental Policy and that to allow setting up of mining and industries in these locations are simply not permissible. Mining of bauxite from these hill tops can in no way be seen as vital national interest, as these are primarily export oriented units being set up by MNCs.
There is a strong local resentment about mining the Niyamgiri and Karlapat hills, but it has been reported to me that the district administration has threatened the local NGOs and other concerned citizens with dire results if they raise the environmental consequences of these projects in larger forum, including with the MOEF. It is also reported that a reign of terror has been established by the goons hired by the company to which the lease has been given.
It has also come to my notice that in spite of not having received Forest Clearance and Environmental Clearance, land is being acquired at the site for setting up the Alumina Plant and the township. 24 villages have received notices under the Land Acquisition Act 1894. Two tribal villages have already been bulldozed and demolished and the inhabitants have been shifted to a makeshift colony where they are living in miserable conditions.
I believe that this is in contradiction to your guidelines, where Forest Clearance is mandatory before taking up any development action.
I am told that the Collector, Kalahandi has allowed a mining company to take up development of the road from Lanjihar to Karlapat. It is not clear to me whether the State Government is competent to take up these activities without receiving forest clearance from MOEF, and in view of the moratorium by the Honorable Supreme Court on diversion of "Protected Areas and Forest Land for Non-Forestry purposes till further orders".
It is because of this reason that I am being forced to write to you on this issue. The State Government is committed to developing this project for political reasons, and will ride roughshod over legitimte opposition. This coercion, I am afraid, would extend to the Local Forest Department personnel, who will be not in a position to give you a true picture due to this pressure.
I hope that your ministry would act in an impartial manner as per the rule of the law and remove these apprehensions from the mind of the people of the state.
I must thank you that you responded positively to my telephonic call when I just made a mention of the issues I have just referred to in my letter.
I hope this letter will find you in best spirits and health.
An early reply is solicited.
Rabi Ray

Fathom events and Guggenheim Entertainment present The MeshugaNutcracker! This Chanukah musical will play in select cinemas nationwide for a special one-night event on Tuesday, December 19, 2017. This musical comedy features the wonderfully silly sensibilities of the folklore of Chelm (a fictional town of fools) underscored by an invigorating Klezmer-ized orchestration of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," including original lyrics that celebrate Chanukah. Add in dancing dreidels, singing sufganiot, and surprise guest stars and you have the perfect recipe for a holiday outing! Jews and non-Jews alike will delight in this original musical celebrating all things Chanukah. KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Maria G. comments, "This full-length musical comedy is not afraid of getting a bit silly with its several stories and performances. It is fantastic musical to experience during this holiday season, filled with amazing performances, beautiful costumes and songs that will motivate you to sing along." See her full review below.
The MeshugaNutratcker is not your average Christmas musical.This full-length musical comedy is not afraid of getting a bit silly with its several stories and performances. It is fantastic musical to experience during this holiday season, filled with amazing performances, beautiful costumes and songs that will motivate you to sing along. This is a must see family musical that you, like me are sure to enjoy watching.
'Tis the season for celebrating Chanukah in the first ever Jewish centered musical comedy, The MeshugaNutcracker which takes place in the small fictional town of Chelm where you will relive eight distinct stories, all relating to the story of Chanukah. The whole performance captures and compliments the essence of the original songs that celebrate the story of Chanukah. In the new state of Israel, The MeshugaNutcracker recounts the story of Judah Maccabee, the perseverance of the Holocaust and the celebration of the first Chanukah, all while being filled with silliness and glee.
The acting in this musical is Emmy Award worthy and is performed by a group of actors that came together to produce a grand piece. From the producers to the writers to the actors, we see the results of a team of talented individuals that bring this show to life. Written and directed by Scott Evan Guggenheim, Shannon Guggenheim and Stephen Guggenheim, the musical comedy features the silly sensibilities of the folklore of Chelm (a fictional town of fools), an invigorating orchestration of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," and eight talented actors including Jackson Davis, Lynda DiVito, Susan Gundunas, Jeremy Kreamer, Benjamin Pither, Krista Wigle.
Whether or not you partake in the celebration of Chanukah, this two-hour musical will capture your heart in so many amazing ways. My favorite parts are the costumes and production itself. The eye catching and distinct vibrant color of each character's costume gives them a unique identity. The costume designs are particularly interesting with all the Jewish symbols that are used. The symbols help to embodying the Jewish culture throughout the film. Furthermore, I enjoyed watching the production aspects of the musical and seeing how they transition from different scenes in a matter of seconds. The production team switches from different sets and props in the blink of an eye.
From the phenomenal acting to the original songs, this is the perfect musical comedy to watch with your whole family during this holiday season, particularly if you are Jewish. I give this film 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. This film is being brought to select theaters through Fathom Events on December 19, 2017 so check your local theater for details.

Sir Chris Hoy says Andy Murray must take inspiration from Roger Federer, expects Scot to be No.1 for four years
Murray is in action in the seaso- ending ATP World Tour Finals in London.
By Arjun Devgan
November 14, 2016 04:23 GMT
Sir Chris Hoy has asked fellow countryman Andy Murray to take inspiration from Swiss great Roger Federer and stay resilient in the games to follow. He expects the Scot to stay at the top of the ATP rankings for another four years at least.
Hoy, who is a six-time Olympic gold medal winner, won the last of his gold medals at the age of 36. He claimed that the sport in tennis is very different as it involves ranking points which means that one has to be at their best throughout the year.

Roger Federer talks about Rafael Nadal being an inspiration ahead of injury comeback
"It is different in tennis because it is about ranking points. Staying at number one for me meant winning world championships or the Olympics so that meant have to be the very best on one day, or for a week once a year. But generally it is about not taking your foot of the gas and I just don't think Andy is the type of guy to light up a cigar, pat himself on the back, and say 'job done'. I don't think anything will change with him", said Hoy as quoted by herald Scotland.
"He will already be planning next season, looking ahead, trying to tick boxes and achieve the things he hasn't achieved. He has an insatiable appetite for success. It is very tough staying at the top, any sportsperson will tell you that, but if Andy can stay injury free and stay out of trouble I am sure he will be on top for a long time."
The 29-year-old created history recently when he became the first British player to top the rankings since the computerized rankings were introduced way back in 1973. Murray also became the second oldest player to reach the top, since John Newcombe did it at the age of 30 in 1974.

Hoy felt that age does slow down the body. He, however, compared the Scot to the legendary Federer, claiming Murray should look up to the Swiss great for his resilience at staying on top of his game for a long time.
"Look at someone like Federer. If you have the resilience that Federer has, you just keep coming back and I think seeing him will be an inspiration for Andy to look at. I am sure Andy will be around for four years at least at the top, I am sure he will keep enjoying it and just keep wanting to continue on", the cycling legend added.

Wise Words for Coaches New (and Old)
Posted Friday, September 13, 2013
Every fall brings a new beginning for those who live by the high school calendar. And among those experiencing a new start are first-year high school coaches eager to begin their careers in educational athletics.
But what knowledge do they bring into their first coaching jobs? Most if not all played at the high school level, and many played at the college level as well. Some have served as assistants or coached youth teams. But high school coaching comes with its own set of challenges requiring an advanced set of skills – skills that are passed on annually as part of the Michigan High School Athletic Association's Coaches Advancement Program.
To assist in giving some of our new coaches a running start, we tapped into the knowledge of three of our Coaches Advancement Program instructors for advice they give those just starting out:
Jean LaClair began this fall 12th in MHSAA volleyball history with 861 wins since becoming a varsity head coach in 1987. She's coached at Midland Dow, Pinconning and currently Bronson, where she's also the athletic director and an assistant principal. She's also served as an MHSAA official and contributed to the Women in Sports Leadership porgram.
Ken Semelsberger is a recent inductee into the Michigan High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame and spent 33 years at Port Huron High School as a coach and athletic administrator. He also coached football at Detroit Servite and has led teams in basketball, softball and baseball. Semelsberger returned to the Port Huron sideline four seasons ago as the varsity's line coach.
Penny Allen-Cook currently is an athletic consultant and in her fourth season coaching the Freeland varsity volleyball team. She also coached volleyball at Alma College, and is a former assistant commissioner of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. She served as an assistant athletic director at Alma College and director of compliance at Saginaw Valley State University.
All were asked the following questions during separate interviews. But not surprisingly, some of their answers were similar – especially those that emphasized dealing with parental pressures and why they as coaches continue to return to the sideline every year.
Many of their answers also segued well into each other, so we've blended them for one longer conversation filled with wisdom beneficial to new and veteran coaches alike.
What do you tell those who are interested in becoming high school coaches?
Semelsberger: "Basically, it's one of the most fulfilling things you'll ever do. And it's also one of the hardest things you'll ever do. I try to explain that it's not just about going to practice and coaching kids today. That's the easy part. It's also preparing for practice, (gaining) the knowledge of what to do in certain situations from the game itself all the way to training procedures, injury procedures and liability issues. That's all part of the coaching realm."
LaClair: "My biggest concern with young coaches is them getting driven out by parents really early. You've got to have thick skin, and you've got to have great relationships with parents. You can't be afraid to talk to parents."
Allen-Cook: "Certainly to coach is an extremely rewarding thing to do. But you can't get into it for the money. You get into it for the things that last for a lifetime. My first year I started coaching was back in 1986, and I've kept in touch with those kids. (Coaching) can't be for money or wins and losses, but the differences you make in lives."
Semelsberger: "Probably not until after the first year do you realize all that's entailed in coaching. (Coaches) say, 'Once I really got into and do it, after the first time, it was a lot more than I thought.' They say, 'What can you tell me to help me?'"
How do you encourage coaches who have become frustrated with the profession?
Allen-Cook: "It's easier to get discouraged nowadays more than it used to be, and a common thing that discourages is the parent involvement is at a different level than it ever was 20 years ago. The key is to remember, and it's hard for young coaches who aren't parents, but you tell them to step back and imagine what it feels like if you were the parent."
LaClair: "I do try to get all young coaches a mentor, someone to talk with. We all get frustrated; we all have to vent, and we need the right person to talk it through with and come up with alternative ways (of dealing with situations)."
Semelsberger: "The one thing I tell them is to remember that what's most important out there is how they influence athletes. I want to see them doing positive things with our athletes, stressing grades and sportsmanship. I hired a hockey coach once, and I told him to clean up the program. I don't care if you win; I want our grades to be good, community involvement, and the wins and losses will come. If you stay with it, hang in there, it will come."
Allen-Cook: "If they approach things the right way, in as few years as four or five, if they stick it out, they'll learn the positives outweigh the negatives. I'm always encouraging them to stick it out a few more years until they can figure out their true philosophy, why they want to coach."
What specific situations do you tell new coaches to prepare for, and how?
LaClair: "For me as a coach, the parent/athlete meeting is mandatory. If a parent comes to me with a question during the year, I say, 'Do you remember the parent/athlete meeting? We discussed that.' It sets the tone and tells parents how proactive you are as a person, how organized and prepared you are."
Semelsberger: "When you're not coaching, when you're sitting in the stands, the parents are friendly. But once you're on the sideline, now you're the coach, and that changes the dynamic of the relationship dramatically. I explain to (coaches) that my philosophy is I'm dealing with parents' most precious item. You want to treat each one of those children like you'd want your kids to be treated. You don't have to play everyone all the time, but treat (athletes) with respect, talk to them and let them know what's going on, why a kid isn't playing, so the kid has an idea what's going on."
Allen-Cook: "One of the best defenses is to be a student of whatever the game is they're coaching so they can be seen as an expert all the time. Show it by going to clinics, reading up on things, and coming to practice with a true plan of what you're doing every day. Parents are less likely to question if you know what you're doing and they can see you're a true student of the game and come every day prepared."
LaClair: "Time management is critical. Especially for me, you need to have good practice plans, well thought out in advance so kids aren't standing around at all."
Semelsberger: "Sometimes I tell (coaches) about reporters if the sport has a lot of reporters; always be positive, don't be negative. ... (Also) I make sure they understand and follow the rules. Academics are the most important thing, so make sure every kid is eligible. And I tell them the most important people are secretaries and custodians. Get them on your side, and they'll do anything for you."
What advice do you offer coaches who also are balancing teaching or other jobs at the school?
LaClair: "Just over half of my (teachers are coaches), and that's great. You can build a different type of relationship."
Semelsberger: "Their number one job is being a teacher, and that's always been the number one job. They can't let the fact they coach take away from that. Classes are number one, and coaching comes after that."
LaClair: "You have to think days and weeks ahead. I tell coaches who are also teachers that the weekends and a lot of Sundays are going to be for making lesson plans for the week, practice plans for the week. Then all they have to do is tweak them. Have a good plan and all you have to do is tweak, and you don't have to do that for two hours on a Thursday night."
Allen-Cook: "It's a neat experience to be able to teach in other realms (like athletics). Unfortunately there are less and less teacher coaches."
What keeps you coming back to coaching?
LaClair: "The kids. A lot of people think social media is an evil beast, and it can be. But what I love about it is I've been coaching a long time and I can keep up with former athletes all over the country, see baby pictures, things I wouldn't be able to do without social media."
Allen-Cook: "I think once you're a coach, you're always a coach. It's tough to get out of your blood. I enjoy the interaction with the young people. I'm an independent contractor now (Allen-Cook also has taught) so I have little interaction with student athletes anymore. It feels rewarding that in some way I'm having a positive impact."
Semelsberger: "The kids, the athletes, just to watch them develop as human beings. We work hard with on our athletes being leaders in the (school) building; the first day of school our senior and junior football players were helping out the freshmen. If a kid was scared or something, trying to get where they needed to go, we had jerseys on and they knew if they saw a kid with a jersey on they could ask for help. To see those kids take on those roles ... I love watching the ninth graders come in as scared little kids and watch them leave as confident seniors going on to college or work or whatever they'll do."

Elvis Dumervil speaks with the media at the Ravens' training facility in late July.
Veteran strong-side linebacker Elvis Dumervil arrived at his second training camp with the Ravens last week bigger than he did the previous year, but said Thursday that he's adapting to his added bulk well thus far.
Dumervil said he added weight — he's now listed at 253 pounds — for physical and mental reasons.
"Sometimes, you've got to self-gut-check yourself and evaluate yourself, and you figure out what you can do to get better, and I just felt personally that I needed that few pounds," he said.
Dumervil, a three-time Pro Bowl linebacker who spent the first six years of his career with the Denver Broncos and was an All-Pro with a career-high 17 sacks in 2009, was second on the team with 9.5 sacks in his first year in Baltimore. But he called his first year with the Ravens and the defense's performance last year "not good enough."

Very nice! Interesting to see something that is different from 'standard/common' styles yet offers a nice clean look. Now if they can make it left handed it would be perfect!
I have a Yamaha SX 800B and I love it. This is going to be a great guitar from Eastwood!
I have a two pickup SX. I think the scale length should be 25.5 inch. This is what made them different from the SG range. Nice choice.
So the original Yamaha SX 800 scale length was 25.5″ and now Eastwood is making them 24 3/4″?

Doom is a well-liked dvd which conforms on the design of games that happen to be made from the attitude from the first person shooter. It integrates 3D graphics and networked multi-player gaming to give a really interesting game.
It also supports custom expansions (WADs). There's a lot of violence interspersed from the game. The game was however so tremendously loved by the people who's earned the top game title in 2004. Consequently many versions of the game have sounded like Doom II: Hell on the planet, The greatest Doom, Master levels for Doom II and Final Doom. PC/DOS was system designed initially for that game but now it is usually run using almost every other platforms.
Doom could be played over the impulses of the first person which can be you. This main protagonist doesn't have any name which is believed to be the person playing the action. This may cause the overall game far more exciting to suit your needs as you are the `hero` with the game. The sport generally happens in the particular scenario which can be an internal area. The secret is to find the hidden door which will require one stage further. Once you see the doorway, you should have fought fierce battles with demonic monsters, fallen into pits of radioactive slime or toxic wastes and tried hard to don't be crushed with the roofs which can be bent upon killing you.
The elusive locked door can be opened by having a remote device or skull-shaped key that has being located by you. There are plenty of labyrinths from the playing area in Doom which feature secret power-ups for you. These turn out to be ample rewards which can inspire you and empower you to reach new heights. An automap navigates you the levels. In addition to these power-ups, you will find there's host of weapon arsenal awaiting you. However, you will start the action with only brass knuckles plus a pistol, you can gather a chainsaw, chaingun, shotgun, plasma rifle plus a rocket launcher along the way. The BFG 9000 is also waiting to be earned in the process.
The power-ups promised due to intelligent play will include a backpack which will help you carry far more ammunition, emergency first aid kit to help keep you in good condition, armor and a berserk pack. It is deemed an amusing pack in Doom which will give back berserk on the terrain avoiding the attack with the enemy upon you. You can take care of all of the villains in the process. Your lifetime can be increased to 100% and quite often to 200% by making use of supernatural blue orbs called soul spheres.
There are a variety of monsters you will encounter on your own route to success in Doom. They're going to attack you in vast quantities depending upon the difficulty level you might have opted for. Sometimes you need to slay a minimum of twelve prior to deciding to get the step to to the next stage. The monsters vary and may take one among 10 forms. These forms include possessed humans, hellish monsters, the imps, the cacodemons along with the quite strong bosses who is able to survive even the most lethal attacks of your stuff. These monsters react by walking nearer, hurling fireballs as they definitely come. Besides biting and scratching, they sometimes turn to fighting among themselves too.


Round 4 of the Nescafe Singapore Karting Championship was once again held in treacherous weather conditions at the Kartright Speedway circuit. Sporadic rain showers and the afternoon heat left the track semi-wet and kept competitors guessing as to whether to race on slicks or wets.
At least 3 of 5 categories were closely contested with less than 10 points differences between the series leaders and the rest of the field.
In the Cadet class, Glenn Chiam capitalized on the absence of his championship rival, Maximillan Fewtrell as he stormed to his maiden pole position, beating Jon Lee Xuan Hao and Jordan Tay in qualifying. However, consistent driving in the wet garnered Jon Lee Xuan Hao the win in the finals, with Glenn Chiam coming second and Jordan Tay finishing third to round up the podium.
The Junior class proved to be a disaster for pole sitter Yeo Hong Yang as he spun out of the lead in the pre-finals. Amin Noorzilan made most of the situation as he won the finals putting him into championship contention against series leader, Anderson Martono, who missed this round due to other race commitments abroad. Joining Amin on the podium is Thaddeus Lee in second and Saravanan Rajakumar in third.
Seniors was an exciting battle between Andrew Tang and Mohammad Nasri Naufal. The day started with Mohammad Nasri Naufal dominating in the heats and pre finals. But in the finals, Andrew Tang won the race but was later penalized for technical infringement on the track, thus relegating him to second place, with Mohammad Nasri Naufal taking the lead, and Julien Fong rounding up the podium with third.
In the most competitive class of the series, the Masters, Lee Kok Kiang held a 4 points advantage over Sheridan Thomas coming into the race. It was an even battle between the two drivers who traded fastest times almost every lap. Ultimately, the win went to Lee Kok Kiang, followed by Sheridan Thomas with Ben Goh, coming in third. Lee Kok Kiang now has 14 point advantage over Sheridan Thomas going into the final round in October. "Drive like a champ, win like a man. We won because we have a very good marriage between Vortex engine and Tonykart chassis." said Ben Goh, principal of Benz Motorsports.
In the Veteran class, it was Kenny Yip who dominated this class from start to finish. Jerry Ibara was left to pick up the spoils, together with Leon Khoo Beng Koon who came in third.

These are the brews we've got on the go at the moment.
After the success of its bigger partner, we wanted to bring our antidote to the grey West Country winter to the rest of your week too. First brewed in January 2018, this is a session strength IPA drenched in sunshine and full of tropical flavours. Pineapple, passionfruit and mango dominate but this is all from the hops.
Here's the story behind Kokomo Weekday.
We've gone back to our roots for this one and brewed a classic English bitter. Sitting in a pub with a pint of cask bitter is one of our favourite things to do. It's part of a grand tradition of pub life that stretches back generations in this country. We want to celebrate those traditions with this beer, which is our exploration of the style of beers we grew up drinking.
We've been developing the recipe over the months to take in different aspects of traditional English beers. Expect to see some darker beers, some lighter beers, modern and classic hops, as we aim to nail down what it is about this type of beer that has such an enduring appeal.
What will stay true throughout the brews is that it will always have British hops, and always be fermented in our open top tanks. This style of beer isn't a showy scene-stealer, and nor should it be. It's a beer brewed to accompany conversation and laughter. And always brewed for cask.
This is a bright, crisp and zesty Belgian style Wit beer. We have carried on the tradition of adding spices to this style of beer, with Chamomile flowers, Coriander seeds and Orange zest in the boil. The combination of wheat and pilsner malts provide the signature haze and light colour, with the continental yeast strain adding flavours of clove and a hint of banana.

The Business Plan Shop provides a good-enough business plan writing aid, but mainly for people who know what needs to be in the document. Beginners or those looking for plan writing guidance will need to keep looking.
The Business Plan Shop provides a serviceable business plan creation tool, which begins at $22 for a three-month subscription. Aside from creating the plan, the software is also capable of forecasting for three to five years. The application does a good job of walking entrepreneurs and business owners through collecting financial projections and descriptive text, and then generates an attractive business plan document. However, unlike much of the competition, the app doesn't provide much guidance on what exactly to write in your business plan, which puts it somewhat behind our Editors' Choice winners in this category, Palo Alto Software LivePlan and Tarkenton GoSmallBiz.
There are two steps to create a business plan using the Business Plan Shop. In one module, you write about your company and its goals. The text editor asks you to describe the business, its market, and the company's financial highlights, with more detail solicited on products, competition, strategy, and operations. The other module is a financial section which prompts you for information about your business lines, overhead, investments, and capital including the nature of the investment you seek. This section includes data about your products and services as well as their sales projections and expenses.
The numbers are totaled as you go so that you see the progress of the plan construction and its financial feasibility. It's all organized in a tabbed user interface (UI) that feels more "desktop-ish" than "webpage-ish." I kept closing sections only to realize I should have switched to another tab before clicking Save. Some entrepreneurs may be more comfortable working that way, but for this longtime Web user, the UI was a little off-putting.
The Business Plan Shop's financial forecasting section collects product and service information by month, for three or five years out. Cost of goods sold is tied to the sales forecasts so you can play with your predictions in brainstorming mode and ask questions such as "What if we raised the unit price? What would be the impact if we could negotiate Net-60 from our suppliers?" You also can adjust Accounts Payable payment terms, giving you visibility into cash flow. While you still need a spreadsheet at hand, the Business Plan Shop's way of organizing income and expenses permits a lot more number-fiddling than does its competitors.
One plus: The Business Plan Shop's application has a lot of categories. Depending on the amount of prodding you desire, that may help with your "But what do I say?!" freak-out moment or help alleviate that feeling of being overwhelmed. Instead of a dialog box and one big text box prompting, "Write about the marketing plan here," the Business Plan Shop goes into more depth. For example, you're reminded to write about the company's barriers at entry or industry and government regulations. The Operations section asks for a personnel plan, key assets, intellectual property (IP), and suppliers. The text accompanying the financial plan asks you to note the business assumptions (such as the market size and projected cash flow). All of these mean that the Business Plan Shop's application makes you think through important issues, even if it can't help you come up with the right answers or (as some of its competitors do) suggest how your business compares to others in the same field.
Despite the number of its questions, you don't need to write about absolutely everything. Just like Enloop allows, I liked that the Business Plan Shop allows you to control which text sections to include or exclude so that your plan can leave out a section on, say, government regulations if the topic is irrelevant to your new quilt shop.
The editor supports more than plain text so you can use italics, HTML links, and images. Some text sections also permit you to insert dynamically updated elements from elsewhere in the plan such as a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) chart or yearly Profit and Loss (P&L) table.
However, the software is tuned for a new venture. It doesn't ask about past performance in an existing business as doing so might let you assure an investor that, since you've been selling these items for five years, you're primed to sell even more of them now after your successful research and development (R&D).
The Financial Overheads section gives you a starting list of the expenses to pay in order to keep the lights on (e.g., travel, utilities, and office supplies) as well as their payment terms (with an eye towards cash flow management). This section is completely customizable. So, if you want to track items specific to your line of business, it's easy to add or edit them.
The software lets you download the generated business plan as a PDF file or Microsoft Word file, just like StratPad lets you do. The plan the Business Plan Shop generates does a good job of presenting the text you entered, and incorporating the financial analysis charts and graphs that reflect all of those numbers you painstakingly typed in. The document won't blow you away with its beauty as the sleek-finished documents created by EquityNet do but it's well-organized and easy for an investor to understand, which is ultimately what matters.
The Business Plan Shop gets top marks for its ability to tune data and plan sections to an entrepreneur's needs. It's good for some brainstorming, especially for a new business. But the application offers lightweight assistance in the "follow the bouncing ball" approach to building a plan. There's no reason not to choose this application—except that Editors' Choices Palo Alto Software LivePlan and Tarkenton GoSmallBiz outperform it.
Bottom Line: The Business Plan Shop provides a good-enough business plan writing aid, but mainly for people who know what needs to be in the document. Beginners or those looking for plan writing guidance will need to keep looking.

Ok... the easy stuff first. I was born in Tucson, went to high school here in Wichita Falls (OLD HIGH CLASS OF '99 REPRESENT!), and graduated college in Albuquerque. I'm happily married to my High School sweetheart Lindsey and we have a beautiful baby girl Madeline (named after one of the funniest women to ever live, Madeline Kahn.) I'm a huge geek, and proud of it. At any given time by belt buckle is either Ghostbusters, Superman or Batman, I have many shirts to match those belt buckles, and have more action figures on display in my house than my 8-year-old nephew has in his toy chest. Now for the more introspective stuff... My wife says that its quite obvious that I was born to entertain people. In a group of people, if I'm not cracking jokes, people come up and say, "Are you feeling ok?" Getting people to laugh at something I said or did, and I meant to make them laugh, is the best feeling in the world to me. Of course I've learned the hard way where and when it is not a good idea to try to make people laugh... like funeral homes or a police line up.

I Remain In Darkness by Annie Ernaux, translated by Tanya Leslie
A powerful meditation on ageing and familial love, I Remain in Darkness recounts Annie Ernaux's attempts to help her mother recover from Alzheimer's disease, and then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the older woman's gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent. Haunting and devastatingly poignant, I Remain in Darkness showcases Ernaux's unique talent for evoking life's darkest and most bewildering episodes.
'Acute and immediate, I Remain in Darkness is an unforgettable exploration of love, memory and the journey to loss.'
— Eimear McBride, author of A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing
'In this work of shocking honesty and intimacy, Ernaux bears witness to her mother's final years of living and dying with dementia. ... Sometimes the diary entries are little more than notes. They are often inconsistent, but this is part of the author's point: the self is not coherent; an 'I' is full of contradictions; you can hate what you adore. The result is a meditation on the gradual loss of agency and identity. Ernaux writes of memory, of love, of loathing, of disgust, of tenderness; she writes about the frail, leaking, helpless, horrifying body, about the porous self. The narrative was always death. Writing was always an act of betrayal.'
— Nicci Gerrard, The Spectator
'Ernaux's mother died of Alzheimer's disease; like John Bayley's memoir Elegy for Iris, Ernaux's memoir catalogues the deterioration of a once powerful, almost totemic presence, a fall so cataclysmic that it cannot be analyzed or contextualized, only reported. In I Remain in Darkness (its title taken from the last coherent sentence her mother ever wrote) Ernaux abandons her search for a larger truth because, in the face of a loss as profound as that of her mother, all attempts to make sense of it have the feel of artifice.'
— Kathryn Harrison, New York Times Book Review
'I Remain in Darkness is a remarkably light thing to be carrying such human weight. There's a safety in tiny volumes, in the small doses of pain which drip from Ernaux's note-style pages; the drip of a faucet that won't quite turn off, however hard you force its handle.'
— Lydia Unsworth, Structo
'A testament to the persistent, haunting, and melancholy quality of memory.'
— New York Times
'As always, Ernaux's marriage of opposites—disgust and adoration, revulsion and emulation, dirt-physical and heady-theoretical—takes place on the whitest of pages. Ernaux's opposites rip her in two in spite of her spare languages ... [Her] art is in her fight with words.'

Michael Parks & Geoffrey Bayldon: Rest in Peace
May 12, 2017 by Jon Kitley	in Rest in Peace and tagged Amicus, From Dusk Till Dawn, Geoffrey Bayldon, Hammer, Kevin Smith, Michael Parks, Planet Terror, Red State, Tusk	| Leave a comment
The movie world has lost two incredible character actors this last week. While neither of them were household names, the characters they played over the years gave us many unforgettable performances.
Michael Parks had been acting for close to 60 years, first appearing on a TV series in 1960, and would appear in a ton of different programs over the years. In the horror genre, there were only a few titles in his long career, but like any role he took on, he was hard to forget. You can see him in films like The Evictors (1979), Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare Beach (1989), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Planet Terror (2007), Kevin Smith's Red State (2011) and Tusk (2014).
Parks had a way of delivering his lines that made it just so damn interesting to watch him perform. Whether it was his acting style, his delivery, or a little of both, but anytime you see him on screen, with that little sparkle in his eye, you were going to be in for a treat.
Parks passed away May on May 9th.
If you were are a fan of British horror films of studios like Hammer and Amicus, then you will probably recognize Geoffrey Bayldon. He usually was a character actor in smaller roles, but like Parks, he always shined in them. You can see his work in films like Hammer's Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) or Amicus' The House that Dripped Blood (1971), Tales from the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), and The Monster Club (1981). My personal favorite of these titles was in Asylum. So much fun there.
Bayldon actually turned down the role as the very first time traveling Doctor Who, which he regretted over the years. But he made decent career in his life, working in the theater for years, appearing on stage with the likes of actors like Sir John Gielgud, before moving on to television and movies, where he appeared in more than 200 series and movies. Bayldon excelled in character roles and was always fun to watch. And still is. He passed away on May 10th, at the age of 93.
Both of these incredible talents will be missed, but definitely not forgotten, kept alive by the countless movie fans that continue to watch their films. Our thoughts go out to their friends and family in this difficult time.

EDITORIAL: Students, faculty can help reach, exceed $70,000 goal at Relay For Life on Saturday

Cancer never sleeps.
For people diagnosed with the disease, it is a constant, round-the-clock battle.
To symbolize that fight, more than 300 participants will walk around the Indoor Athletic Complex's track for 12-straight hours on Saturday for the 21st annual Relay For Life fundraiser at Central Michigan University.

Relay For Life raised $50,600 in 2016. Colleges Against Cancer at CMU, the registered student organization sponsoring the event, is hoping to raise $70,000 this weekend.
We urge the CMU community to answer the call to not only meet, but surpass the group's goal of $70,000.
As of Wednesday, the group raised $27,149.27 — more than $40,000 short of the $70,000 goal. To help reach the goal, we encourage all students, faculty and staff to attend. Everyone has a reason to walk, even if cancer hasn't directly affected their lives or the lives of their loved ones.
According to the American Cancer Society, there are 15.5 million people living in the U.S. with a history of cancer. The ACS projects there will be 57,600 new cancer cases diagnosed in Michigan in 2017 and more than 1.6 million across the nation.
More than 600,000 people are expected to die from cancer this year. That includes babies, children, teenagers and grandparents, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, students, teachers, coaches and administrators.
The money you can help raise goes toward helping these people. It helps the American Cancer Society fund research, critical patient care services, education, prevention initiatives and much more.
We can all relay for someone or something.
Saturday is a chance to honor the people you know who have survived cancer, those currently receiving treatment, those who have cared for patients and those who have lost their lives.
If nothing else, Relay for Life is a great, memorable way to spend a Saturday.
Team tables will have food available and there will be interactive games like bubble soccer, lip-synch battles and line dancing, crafts and additional ways to donate. Even the smallest donations help.
It's fun, yet thought provoking, healing and unifying. Those with any questions about the event can email cmichrelay@gmail.com. For more information to sign up or donate, visit Relay For Life's website.
The event brings students, professors, community members and more together on one track. Hundreds of people moving in one direction, walking with a unified goal in mind: to bring awareness and hopefully an end to a disease that has taken the lives of too many. One that doesn't discriminate against skin color, religion, gender identification, sexual preference or political stance.
Go for the students who worked hard to organize the event, your former classmate who took a year off of school because they got sick, your roommate whose grandmother is dying from lung cancer or your friend's mom or dad diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer.
Cancer knows no boundaries. It does not sleep.
So we won't either.

Q: Second row of Neat grid not working properly I'm trying to use Neat's grid-container to create two rows of three, but the second row isn't starting as expected, because of different text lengths in the first row.
The HTML:

Vehicula Justo Elit Mollis

          Fusce Commodo Ornare Venenatis Egestas

          Fusce Commodo Ornare Venenatis Egestas

          Fusce Commodo Ornare Venenatis Egestas

          Fusce Commodo Ornare Venenatis Egestas

          Fusce Commodo Ornare Venenatis Egestas

          Fusce Commodo Ornare Venenatis Egestas

The SCSS:
.featuredpost {
  @include grid-container;
  .post {
    @include grid-column(4);
  }
}

And here's a screenshot of how it appears:
Example of problem with second row
As you can see, because the text of the first post in row one is longer than the other two post's text in row one, it's causing an issue in row two. I could fix this by putting a min-height on post elements, but there has to be a better way. Am I using Neat's grid correctly? Any help is appreciated!

A: You have a few options. Your best bet would be to use a combination of nth-child selector and a clear: left;.
In your example, this would appear as the following.
.post {
  @include grid-column(4);

  &:nth-child(3n+1) {
    clear: left;
  }
}

This will cause every fourth post to clear the space to the left, making sure that there is nothing to the left of it, in this case the extra long post title.

A: You could wrap each "row" in its own div and make them all separate grid-containers. They then have a built-in clearfix.
A simplified version of the html would look like this:

      ...

      ...

      ...

      ...

      ...

      ...

And the SCSS would look like this:
.grid-row {
  @include grid-container;
  .post {
    @include grid-column(4);
  }
}

The previously suggested method of
...
&:nth-child(3n+1) {
clear: left;
}
...

does yield DRYer code, though, especially if you have a lot of
s / rows.
