Protecting Innocence
The first-grader swung her lunchbox as she strolled toward school. She chose her usual shortcut, a dirt path through 50 feet of forest before an open field. Suddenly, a strange man stepped from behind a pine tree, blocking her path.
"Come with me," he said, looming above her. "I'll give you some nice toys. Then you can go to school."
Utterly naïve as well as petrified, she followed him. The man led her to an empty unit in a nearby abandoned apartment building. "Take off your pants and underwear," he ordered, and he lay down on his back to wait.
As she nervously fiddled with the button on her pants, the man abruptly announced, "You can go to school now." The girl fled the building and sprinted the mile to school, chest pounding.
This story is mine, and I have thanked God countless times that a stranger stopped before violating me. I nearly became one of an estimated 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in our country. As many as one in three girls and one in seven boys in the United States is sexually abused before age 18.
Children in Danger
Why have we been unable to stop this epidemic of abuse? Why are American children safer on an airplane than in their own homes? Why are so many young children, prime targets for active abusers, so unaware of the dangers?
Many experts recommend parents drown-proof toddlers around age 2. I don't mean to suggest abuse-proofing toddlers. But what would happen if parents, caregivers, schools, and churches raised awareness in the minds of young children much earlier—before our children were wounded?
As a young child, I had never heard of abuse. I hid my narrow escape, silently accepting my teacher's scolding for tardiness. At home, I told my mother a stranger had made me follow him, omitting the frightening details.
Whether at the hands of a stranger, a neighbor, or a trusted family member, mere minutes of abuse inflict wounds that leave scars for a lifetime. Consider the research. Guilt is almost universal among abuse victims. Many children keep their abuse a secret. But as long as the secret is kept, fear, suffering, and psychological distress will, like the secret, remain with the victim.
I escaped without harm. But child victims struggle to develop healthy self-esteem, positive feelings about sexuality, and trusting relationships. They are more likely to struggle with pornography or sex addictions. They may battle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and even prostitution. Nearly 6 in 10 prostituting men and women reported being sexually abused as a child, in a 1998 study by psychologist and prostitution researcher Melissa Farley.

As part of the Grandma Project in Wichita, KS some retired grandmothers and I go to elementary and middle schools to talk to the kids about bullying, abuse and trafficking. We also set up "I Care" teams of kids who make posters to teach others about what they have learned and how they can use a "buddy system" to help each other. We also speak at churches and other organizations to educate adults. You can find us online at www.yardsignsagainstchildabuse.com to watch our videos and different activities around the city. Check us out to find out how to start a Grandma Project in your city!
The article is a very good one, should be given out in schoolks churches etc. a real eye opener it is, would share it with other parents
Brenda Carr
My adopted mom passed this article on for me to read. As a victim of childhood sexual abuse, I found this article refreshing that there should be no fear in the truth. I am in my 50's now, and still dealing with some of the effects of prolonged sexual abuse during my childhood. While I have scars from my past, they are evidence of healing...there is hope for the victim to live a whole and healthy life after sexual abuse. God has blessed me with a loving husband and two beautiful children. I had the privilege of raising my children in a much different home than I was raised in. Like the writer, I am an advocate for educating everyone about how to prevent child abuse. Every time I have opportunity to share my testimony I will have women of all ages come up to me and say they have never told anyone about what happened to them. Thank you Dawn for this valuable resource.

SQlab utilizes the highest scientific levels for the development of ergonomic bike products.
At SQlabs, under the head of Dr. Stefan Staudte (urologist and extreme biker), R&D groundbreaking efforts originated products and concepts such as the stepsaddle, the saddle fit system and the brand new active technology. Every bicycle rider is different – and therefore our bike saddles, bike grips, bike handle bars and bike shoe insoles are all available in different sizes and shapes. Our products are available at IBDs. Our dealer sales staff have special knowledge and lots of experience in bike ergonomics and are able to measure your sit bones, check your grip size and foot type. To ride comfortable, efficient and pain free, the saddle, handlebar, grips, and in fact, the whole bike, must fit like a good pair of shoes.
The active's elastomer system was a real highlight for me, and when you're on the rear of the saddle, it allowed a slight lateral movement (rockin') of the hips, which made pedaling more efficient and the body more comfortable.

Aveda, national manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic products, has partnered with Milwaukee-based Neroli Salon and Spa to open the Aveda Experience Center retail store in Brookfield Square Mall.
The 1,500 square-foot store, located near the main entrance of the mall, opened on Black Friday. Plans for a formal grand opening are in the works.
The new Aveda Experience Center offers a series of "rituals of renewal" designed to relax and rejuvenate, including a hand and shoulder ritual used to relieve stress.
Complimentary tea and skin and hair consultations are also offered.
"Experience Centers are oases of stress relief where guests can relax with a moment of wellness, experience Aveda products and receive referrals to full-service salons and spas in their neighborhood," said Catherine Culotta, Vice President of retail for Aveda.
Headquartered in Minnesota, Aveda maintains a variety of partnerships with salons and spas that use their products, including Neroli Salon and Spa.
Neroli Salon and Spa exclusively uses Aveda products and has four locations in the Milwaukee area, including one at Sendik's Towne Centre on Brookfield Road.
"When presented with the opportunity to partner with Aveda on this project we knew it was the right time to continue growing our business in Milwaukee," said Susan Haise, owner of Neroli Salon and Spa.
Aveda says its cosmetics are eco-friendly: skin and hair care products are made from pure flower and plant essences.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Wisconsin will host the 25th annual Farm Aid concert two months from today – and the initial lineup of performers will be announced Monday morning.
Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp started the concerts to call attention to the plight of family farmers. They'll perform at the October 2nd show at Milwaukee's Miller Park, along with Dave Matthews and Neil Young. Other performers will be announced later Monday at a news conference. Tickets go on sale August 14th.
Wisconsin has never hosted a Farm Aid concert before. The show's director, Carolyn Mugar, said the Badger State was chosen because of its strong agricultural tradition – and because it has the greatest successes in what she calls the "good food movement." That's defined as the growth in organic foods and family-made products.
Mugar also said the show recognizes the contributions of Milwaukee urban farmer Will Allen, whose efforts have been nationally-recognized from the White House on down. Allen said he's elated that Milwaukee will host the Farm Aid concert. He calls it a big thing for both the state, and for his organization.

BRAINTREE — Conservative-leaning towns like this one swept Scott Brown to victory in 2010 as his insurgent candidacy became the hot topic in pizza parlors and delis. But walk into Nanci's Barber Shop this week, and the chatter is not about the current Senate candidates, or even about politics at all.
"You've got a lot of Bruins and Whitey Bulger; people seem to be talking about that a lot the last two weeks," said Joanne Bailey Hanna, who cuts hair at Nanci's and was wearing a Bruins shirt. "I couldn't even right now tell you when the election is."

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This must be a troll blog. It just… Can't be legit, lol, even though I KNOW there are people out there like that… But yeah, I'm thinking troll blog. Which in that respect, I can look at it in a funny way. If it's not a troll blog, it makes me sad. :( BUT troll blog. Yes. This, I am tacking on as a fact. I can now not melt into a puddle and cry over society. Psh lol
But I'm going to rant about it anyways because I'm bored. And just for that slim chance that it's legit, but no, must be troll blog. Aside from the obvious if you just read over the sidebar and the talk about weed and sex and just over-ridiculous-ness that makes it just too much to be for reals, some of the asks and her replies, I just… What? I can't. Lol bah o_o;;;
Ask: lmao if your age is on the clock, its to young for the cock
Her reply: 12 isnt on the clock dumbass
What… I… 12 is on the clock. It's always been on the clock. 12 AM and 12 PM. It's at the top of the clock. If you honesty think 12 isn't on the clock…. Do you even know what a clock is? o_o; THIS is why I
hope know it must be a troll blog ahaha. -eye twitch none the less-
Ask: im so sorry for the hate you're getting :/
Her reply: your*
its okay atleast i have great people like you supported me :)
If it was to be legit, yeah, definably 12 if you don't know proper grammar. She incorrectly corrected it. I don't even… You're was the correct term there. There is not form of possession, you are should go there, therefore you're. What. I… Troll blog. Obviously troll blog. I have to remind myself this so I can remember and then laugh and get many chuckles from her blog instead of a headache. :'3
Ask: If your mom follows you, why would you post things about receiving nude pictures or smoking weed?
Her reply: its okay she doesnt have to no ;)
She would obviously know if she followed you because if she follows you, she would see it. What. Silly troll blog is trolling. Pft
THIS IS WHY TROLL BLOG. I take it in my mind to be a troll blog and you can't convince me otherwise, I refuse, I see no way that it couldn't be a troll blog. So, because troll blog, I think I might follow just to lol because it is a troll. Knowing it is a troll blog makes it quite funny, actually… That is what I am going to do. Or I'm just going to facepalm myself to death because even if it's a troll I can't handle this, I don't know. Maybe… No, no follow, but I will check in on it at random. Hmmm yes, I don't think I want it on my dash, lol.
Ask: Are you a vergin?
Her reply: *Vurgin.
No one in there right mind would spell it that way. Yay troll blog! But still bah. Lolwhut (and because I can't help it, *Virgin, there o_o)
I don't even know why I'm talking about this if I decided it was a troll blog from the start, I still let it bother me. I think mostly because I know people that legitimately think these things and I've seem people make legit fails similar to these. These are the people that I want to smack and as what the hell is wrong with them.
Clever troll is clever. :P
And I said "troll blog" too many times.
It doesn't even sound like a word anymore.
And I probably make no sense because it's 3:05 and I need sleep…. x_x

What the Winter Said was released November 1, and finished the month at number 2 on the ZMR Top 100 Chart. The rankings for the ZMR Top 100 for December found What the Winter Said at the #1 position on the chart.
The album is available through the usual online outlets, like CD Baby, amazon.com, and iTunes.
Ontario photographer Janice Street has produced a video collaboration with Kathryn, using her own striking photographs of frost on windows along with Kathryn's song Frost, from What the Winter Said. For a sample, click here. You can also find the video on YouTube.
Click here to purchase What the Winter Said from CD Baby
Click here to purchase What the Winter Said from amazon.com
Kathryn is a composer and pianist whose music transcends genres and categories. Classically trained as a soprano, pianist, and organist in the U.S. and Germany, her evocative and haunting melodies are at the same time both simple and profound. Among her sources of inspiration are classical music, jazz, New Age, and the hymns and folksongs of the Appalachian Mountains of southeast Kentucky, where she grew up.
Kathryn's first two albums, Dreaming Still and Heavy as a Feather were critically acclaimed, and both were nominated for Best Instrumental Album-Piano by Zone Music Reporter. This latest release, What the Winter Said, has already gotten great reviews, and it promises to secure her place in the top tier of contemporary composer/musicians.
"Some of the most thoughtful and profound piano work I have ever heard."
--Darrell Burgan
"There are times when you know right away that you are in the presence of a true artist, and I've found that to often be true for solo pianists than for other players. Just listen to the opening track [of Dreaming Still], 'Time Moving Slowly,' and you'll know why I'm saying that...simple, yet beautiful."
--Rotcod Zzaj (Dick Metcalf)
Improvijazzation Nation Magazine
"Kathryn Kaye is as talented a composer and pianist as any with whom I've ever had the pleasure to work. Evidence of her classical training is everywhere in her varied and confident performances, but it's her compositions which ultimately make Dreaming Still the powerful debut it is. Some of her pieces feel so hauntingly familiar that they seem like part of your DNA. That she accomplishes this without imitation or cliché is nothing less than a musical magic trick. This is a brilliant debut recording by a woman from whom we certainly and gratefully will be hearing much more."
--Will Ackerman
Windham County, Vermont

Revitalizing Soviet Image Data From Venus
timothy posted more than 10 years ago | from the that's-one-hot-goddess-of-love dept.45
An anonymous reader writes "As everyone looks at Mars, a scientist has produced the best images ever obtained from the surface of a rather different planet - Venus. By using - and reprocessing - data from the Soviet Venera missions he got some really nice gems. To be found at BBC News Online and at mentallandscape.com. Nice images which resemble much that of the current Mars missions can be found here(1) and at here(2). By the way, did you know that Venus was more often targeted by space probes than Mars, including a number of ten (!) successful landers?"

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This light and airy crescent shaped shawlette is perfect for those long summer evenings.
This design is easily customisable; the mesh section can be increased making the shawlette wider whilst increasing the rib section will make it deeper.
Using less than 100g of fingering weight yarn and basic increases and decreases, this is a perfect pattern for a beginner or an easier knit for a more advanced knitter.
Not important
I learned to knit at my grandmothers knee aged 6. After many unfinished projects over the years, I finally realised that I didn't like seaming, so almost all of my patterns don't need it. I love to knit in the round, be it socks or sweaters.

Swimming champ Thorpe in rehab for depression
Olympic swim champ Ian Thorpe, pictured in Sydney on February 3, 2011, is in rehab for depression after a mixture of painkillers and anti-depressants left him disoriented on a Sydney street - by Greg Wood
But his manager James Erskine insisted no alcohol was involved, as the swimmer's father suggested he faced months of treatment but would "come out the other side".
A "dazed" Thorpe, 31, was discovered by police attempting to get into a car near to his parents' house in the early hours of Monday and taken to hospital for assessment.
It was his second recent visit to hospital, after falling and needing shoulder surgery last week. At the time, his management denied reports that he was also being treated for depression and alcohol abuse.
Erskine told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the five-time Olympic gold medallist was now receiving treatment for depression, a condition he has struggled with for years.
"He'd been taking prescribed drugs, painkillers for his shoulder and he's also on prescription drugs for anti-depression... but it's obviously a mixture of it and that mixture made him disorientated because he was wandering around at 3 o'clock in the morning," he said.
Residents rang police after Thorpe tried to get into a car that he thought belonged to a friend.
"He became disorientated and he tried to get into what he thought was a friend's car, but it wasn't his friend's car at all," Erskine said.
As well as being open about his depression, Thorpe detailed a battle with alcohol in his 2012 autobiography, but Erskine said it was not a factor in Monday's incident.
"There was no alcohol involved, he hadn't been drinking or anything like that," he said.
"The hospital then suggested -- or more than suggested, I think -- that he should go into rehab for depression and that's what's happened."
Thorpe's father Ken told the Sydney Daily Telegraph he was optimistic his son would pull through.
"He is battling with his health issues at the moment and he is having a tough time," he said, reportedly choking back tears.
"But hopefully in six months' time he will be out the other side."
Thorpe is Australia's most decorated Olympian with five gold medals at the 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens Games, with his extraordinary success attributed partly to his abnormally large feet and hands.
He became the first person to win six gold medals at one world championships, in 2001, among 11 world titles overall -- along with 10 Commonwealth Games gold medals.
But the demands of a celebrity lifestyle and grinding training saw him quit in 2006 before a comeback in 2012 in which he failed to qualify for the London Olympics.
While every major sport in Australia runs an Athlete Career and Education Programme to help prepare for life after sport, Thorpe has not been able to find a direction, dabbling in jewellery design and television while attempting a number of university courses.
Former long-time rival Grant Hackett told Fairfax Media Thorpe was naturally introverted and thrived in the team environment, which was lost when he retired.
"It's not a transition many people are ready for and it is difficult and it's hard and you've got to have good support around you, regardless if you're high profile or not, to make that transition successfully," he said.
"I think Ian's had difficulty in that, and obviously coming in and out of the sport again has probably exacerbated some of the issues that he was struggling with. My heart certainly goes out to him as one of his closest rivals but more so as a friend."
Last week, another former great Kieren Perkins urged more support for retiring sportspeople, saying he had also struggled to adjust.

Paramore and Fall Out Boy both straddle the worlds of pop and rock, have similar fan bases and have known each other a long time. That's why it makes perfect sense for them to team up for the Monumentour, a big joint arena summer tour that gets underway tonight in Hartford, Connecticut. Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams says that for her, the match-up is "a long time coming."
"Our bands really did grow from the same scene and we share a lot of the same fans, yet we still do kind of exist separately with two individual fan bases," Hayley told reporters during a conference call. "But I think what falls in between us is why this is gonna be so perfect."
Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz agrees that the fans turning up to see them this summer will be an interesting cross section.
"I feel like it could be all over the place as far as that stuff goes, which is always interesting for a tour," he tells ABC News Radio. "But the fun thing is...we can hopefully win over some of their fans and vice versa."
For Pete, the concept of Monumentour came from iconic summer tours he remembers from his youth.
"We were thinking about -- when we were coming up with the idea for the tour -- how there's a history of rock bands kind of coming together and putting everything on the line for one night, every night, in the summer," he tells ABC News Radio. "And I think it's been a while. Like, I remember Guns 'N Roses and Metallica doing it. Growing up, it was an important thing, and we kind of want to instill that in this generation."
Hayley says coming up with the perfect setlist for the show was very important to her, because the band has had so many big hits recently, like "Ain't It Fun" and "Still Into You," but longtime fans want to hear the older stuff.
"We're thinking, like, 'How are we gonna play all the singles, how are we gonna play all the songs to please our old-school fans?'" she told reporters. "I'm really pumped about what we came up with, though, and I feel like it's going to be explosive and I think it's gonna be really exciting. Whatever kind of Paramore fans might be at the show, I feel like we're hopefully gonna make all of them happy."
But even more important, says Hayley, is making a connection with the fans, emotionally. "For us...if we're not connecting with people, looking them in the eyes, making them feel known, then we're missing the point of why we're a band," she says. "Our job is to just make sure that our fans know, and the people coming out to our show know, that they are seen and they are heard and they are important to us."
As for whether the bands will perform together, Pete says, "It'd be cool to do something...[but] I feel like those things are always better when they're spontaneous." In the past, Fall Out Boy has brought Hayley out to sing with them, so it's a possibility.
Hayley, meanwhile, is making sure she has everything she needs to be comfortable on tour: candles to remind her of home; a blender, to create healthy smoothies and juices; and, of course, sunscreen. "I am the palest person on the face of the planet!" she laughs.
Monumentour is scheduled to wrap up August 31.

While working in Athens, we stayed at the Central hotel in the Plaka. http://www.centralhotel.gr/
2 min walk to the Acropolis, 1 min walk to the metro, a great restaurant/bar with a fantastic head waiter named Peter.
Very reasonably priced and the staff was helpful and wonderful.
When we return to see the sights we missed, we will definitely be staying there.

I stayed at the Zafolia Hotel located on Leoforou Alexandras. It was around 100 Euros per night, which includes an amazing breakfast. After a long day of sightseeing, I returned to the Zofolia where I went for a relaxing swim on their rooftop pool. The Zafolia was a great place for me and my family. I shall be back. I love Athens.

We stayed at the Hilton because we have lots of points. It was ok. It's nice to have some American amenities, however my daughter had a large cochroach scamper past her in the bathroom...where she screamed her lungs out. Me and my daughter could not sleep that night. When we notified the front desk they gave us one free breakfast. Wow.
P.S. one week later I stayed at the DC Hilton. There were no bugs, but there wasn't any hot water either. This time my drink at the bar were taken care of. Yeh!

If your going to Greece, Athens should not be missed, you will need at least 2-3 days to see the sights. as for hotels(http://www.greece-hotels.ws)your best option would be to find one in downtown Athens close to the Acropolis. All the major attractions are within reasonable walking distance and it will give you the chance to explore the city.

For backpackers, I definitely recommend Athens Backpackers. It has a convenient location, just a block away from the Acropolis subway stop and very close to the Acropolis itself. It also has a rooftop bar (with drinks much cheaper I'm sure than at the bar mentioned in the article) with a fantastic view of the Acropolis. As far as hostels go, its clean, and everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Visiting Athens twice I stayed in the Hotel Hermes on Apollonos Street in the Plaka district just a few blocks from Syntagma Square. The hotel was so centrally located and I could walk everywhere. The rooms are clean and modern, with wood floors and a spacious bathroom. The breakfast was quite good. I highly recommend this hotel.

I always stay at The Cecil, on Athinas Steet, http://www.cecil.gr/ just a couple blocks up from Monastiraki. Great location, comfortable, clean, goes for about 50 euro off-season, and they have a wonderful cat named Lucy who has the run of the whole place.

Sofitel Hotel @ the airport is a fine hotel. Extremely clean and fine accommodations. Its location eliminates the need for early taxi rides from the heart of Athens to the airport--you can actually walk to the airport. Dinning may be expensive, but the quality of the rooms is well worth it. Marko

Usually when I travel abroad I don't try to find accommodation for the lowest price. Instead I prefer quality. That's why I chose Ochre & Brown Hotel. It is a small luxury boutique hotel in Psirri Area just a few minutes from Plaka, Ancient Agora and Acropolis, while it is also next to the Shopping Centres and the Nightlife hot spots. But the best thing in that hotel was the fact that I experienced high quality service from really friendly people. I strongly recommend it: www.ochreandbrown.com

Spent 3-1/2 wks in Greece this past April. One of the best finds was right in Athens. The Athens Atrium Hotel which was absolutely delightful is way off the beaten path (about a 10 minute bus ride to Stygmata Square). Its location is best described as the bus stop for Agios Sostis Church on Sygrou. We booked directly with the hotel for $120 @ night, but there were definitely internet deals @$104. This boutique hotel, that caters to Europeans, has newly renovated rooms, that are very large, comfortable, quiet & dark. Some have spacious, marble patios with lounge chairs & tables! The breakfasts are fair to poor, but all you can eat. The staff is fabulous. Been waiting for a chance to tout the hotel. Love it!

In my experience when staying Athens it's not really necessary to pay much more than 50 for a hotel room. You can get a discounts or simply a good idea of the price range by clicking on www.bookings.org or www.hrs.com - and not just for Athens. Many hotels in Europe have bargains available on the intnernet, which cut the asking-on-the- phone-price often in half. I plan to travel to Greece in May and managed to book a room by the Athenian seaside town of Voula (next to the young & hip Glyfada) for just 30 Euro. If you plan to go now you can try out www.athenscityhotel.com. Prices are at 40-50 Euros in the 2 hotels they run. Last year I stayed in central Athens in www.hotel-brazil.gr for 40 Euros It's suberly modern, and tuck away near Voktoria Sq Station, but the guy answering the phone doesn't speak much English.

Last summer I stayed in a cute boutique hotel called Hotel Fresh. The place was attractive and comfortable and clean and had a fun bar, and plush rooftop pool and bar. The morning breakfast was amazing and the location was extremely convenient. I can't remember exactly which vendor I used, but it only took a couple searches and I got a room for about 90 euros a night (at the end of August.) I would absolutely recommend searching and seeing what kinds of deals you can get. I stayed somewhere else for about 30 euros a night more during the first part of my trip only a few blocks away, and the Fresh Hotel was above and beyond.

The service all over the ship was impeccable. The specialty restaurants in which we ate (Normandy and Qsine)had excellent ambiance, food and service. The food in Qsine is very unique ordered from Ipads, and served to share. Foods of the world! The free style dinner seating for the Concierge class was excellent.
The itinerary of 4 Islands was great (Bridgetown, Barbados; Castries, St. Lucia; St. Johns, Antigua; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas) Swam with the turtles in Barbados, hiked rainforest in St. Lucia, and a beach rendezvous in St. Maatern, All excellent shore excursions.
Kudos to our Cabin Attendant, Bart. Wonderful service and always a smile. Add to that he is a Christian brother, and we were blessed to meet him.

The Bottom Line with Roger Marsh
Roger Marsh will take current events and bring them down to The Bottom Line with a Biblical World View. No opinionated spins...just the facts with solid focus on truth while staying away from over-sensationalized opinions.
Roger Marsh is a lifelong Southern California resident. He studied Business at Cal State Fullerton before attending what is now the Academy of Radio Broadcasting and launching his radio career in 1983. Roger tends to lean more on the conservative side of the political equation but is open to thoughtful (wise) and respectful (considerate) debate. Roger has been blessed with 3 children, two daughters in college and a son in high school.

Student Org Advisors
Faculty/Staff Advisors serve as the primary advisors to Whitewater's 190+ student organizations and clubs. They are full time employees of the institution that have agreed to serve in this volunteer capacity. Each year confirmation of their position is sent from the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs to formalize their commitment and coverage. Without the service of these individuals the quality of the student experience would be much less. Career & Leadership Development is very thankful for their time and efforts.
Individuals interested in assisting student organizations and clubs should contact Career & Leadership Development at 262-472-1471.
