I have to start here with a disclaimer: I'm not Catholic. I'm not even Christian. But I live in a very Catholic area, and I like the rhythm of the seasons and observances of the liturgical calendar that are celebrated here, much of which occurs outside the church. Accordingly, the sweet, greasy baked goods of Fasching punctually disappeared from the bakeries between Tuesday and Wednesday with the start of Lent. Many will forgo coffee, meat, or grains for the next 40 days. Their sacrifice is an exercise of devotion for Jesus' suffering, but also one of humility, simplicity, and concentration. The former cannot apply to me - at least in its intended sense - but the latter three could do me some good.
Humility: I only managed the "Whole 12", as in, less than half of what I set out to do. I wouldn't say I threw up my hands and made myself a SAD sandwich, but there has been some fresh and delicious hummus, 2 slices of raw hard cheese, and home-made cough remedy made from radish, garlic, ginger and lemon peel steeped in honey.
Simplicity: I've decided to take advantage of Lent to explain why I've given up grains. My homeopath may say otherwise at my appointment on Monday, but I am personally content to stick to my previous Real Food diet but restrict foods like tubers, beans, lentils, sugars and dairy, saving total avoidance for grains of all types.
Concentration: Despite the sense that the start of Lent released me from fasting, it is still a heck of a trick to avoid all grains. Helpful people offer me spelt and sorghum crackers. I don't want to get into alternative flours, yet my husband's birthday is coming up and he wants a cake. No thickened sauces. Even breakfast sausages are problematic. Any time I've cheated I've been quickly reminded that I don't want white flour badly enough to take its effects, but the fact that I've been reminded a few times suggests my concentration could use some work.
I will say that at the moment I dearly wish I had someone to whom to pray. I'll handle my dietary needs myself, but our adoption plans, stalled and stagnant for so long, seemed to be gathering momentum of late before being crippled last night by one AP headline: Ethiopia moves to sharply reduce foreign adoptions.
We only ever seriously considered two sending countries: South Africa and Ethiopia. South Africa changed its Children's Act in April 2010, with one of the changes being that only specifically registered "children's protection agencies" are permitted to handle international adoption. Thus the partnership our local family and youth authorities had for many years enjoyed with an independent South African social worker is no longer allowed. No new partnership is foreseen. Ethiopia's program was large and well-rehearsed, but more complex and expensive than South Africa's. Nonetheless it was (and hopefully still is) our first choice because our first-born was conceived there. We already have a connection to the place, and we'd have some fast and final answers to any prying questions such as "where is your child from?" (both my children are from Ethiopia).
The moves around the world to protect children and families are right. Efforts to prevent child trafficking are right. Governments are right to work towards better oversight of a process that takes children born in their lands across the planet, perhaps never to return.
Children have a right to grow up in families.
Our ardent wish to expand our family without creating another person to do it is certainly not a right, but I can't shake the feeling that we are an incomplete project as we stand now. I could not bear a child wondering if I would always be haunted by the child who did not get to sleep in that bed, snuggle up and listen to that story, bring home that school art project. The succour of prayer is all I have until there are answers that can lead to decisions and plans, but it feels hollow to ask this without devotion to offer in return.

Chemo for a Corgi: A dog's battle with cancer
I'm not sure I really "battled'' breast cancer back in 2002, as much as it battled me. But after a year of two chemotherapies, radiation and surgery, cancer and I agreed to a draw. We went back to our respective corners, both tired of this fight.
You always wonder when cancer will come back. And for me, so far — and knock on wood or formica or perhaps a granite kitchen countertop —it hasn't.
Yet, in a way I never expected, it has.
The news came during October, the month that NFL players wore pink receiver gloves to draw attention to breast cancer. A disease that has become so prevalent among our mothers, our wives, our sisters, our daughters and ourselves, that our men are no longer worried about showing their public support.
I was a bit late for work one morning this week. I let everyone know early. "Doctor's appointment — 9 AM Fort Lauderdale,'' the email read. What I didn't say is that it was for the oncologist.
Not for me. For my dog, my Love Bucket, my Oscar.

God Bless America
The land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her....
On this Independence Day that represents the liberation of our country; you see on several churches and buildings the phrase "God Bless America".
During the 911 terrorist attacks, we saw our state senators put aside all differences and sing with perfect unity the words to God Bless America.
I count it a tremend0ous blessing to be an American. A land that God has indeed shed His light and favor upon. A rich country; that sites on our currency "In God We Trust". I pray for and celebrate the soldiers who are and have protected our freedom and I pray God's continued mercy. I do not want what I am about to say to sound un patriotic. Yet, it is something that needs to be said.
When I was thinking about the song God bless America, I realized that God Has Blessed America. And when is America going to bless God. In the midst of a land of vast resources and opportunities; we have to be mindful of what the Lord told the children of Israel; that when I bring you into this good land be careful that you forget not the Lord thy God that delivered thee.
God has blessed America -
America - let's bless God.
Let our light so shine that men might see our good works and glorify the father in heaven.
Let's put God back in front and no longer be silent. We can no longer afford to be silent as our children are able to see and hear things on prime time TV that contaminates their spirits.
Let's give glory to a God who has given us so much.
we thank you that you have blessed America with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. Thank you Father that we are a country that to whom much is given, much is required. Strengthen us and lead us to be a beacon of light to a lost and dying world. Thank you Father, that you have blessed America. This land that I love. You've stood beside us and guided us with the glory of your light that shines above.
Thank you God that you've blessed America, my sweet home.

Careless Driving Ticket in Bucks County
In Pennsylvania, a careless driving violation is commonly charged along with a Bucks County DUI-drunk driving offense.

Careless driving is a 3-point traffic violation in Bucks County and every other Pennsylvania county. Careless driving is also commonly charged when you are involved in a Bucks County car accident.
At your Bucks County DUI Preliminary Hearing, the local Bucks County police officer or State Trooper has the authority to modify the careless driving ticket. A local Bucks County traffic violation lawyer such as Michael L. Saile, Jr., Esq. of Saile & Saile LLP can help you reduce or eliminate the penalties associated with careless driving.
If you receive a careless driving ticket in Bucks County, PA, whether it is charged with a Bucks County DUI-driving under the influence offense, or charged because of a Bucks County car accident, Saile & Saile LLP can represent you.

Former Hekari United little midfield maestro, Emmanuel Simon will join the Lae City Dwellers for the 2017 OFC Champions League and the National Soccer League.
Simon showed interest last month and a formal release was done by Hekari for him to join the National Soccer League champions.
Dwellers coach Peter Gunemba said having Simon controlling the midfield for the Dwellers would boost the 2016 NSL champions in their campaign in the National Soccer League and the OFC Champions League.
"He is an experienced player so we are glad to have him in the team, said Gunemba.
Gunemba said Simon is a good replacement for Joachim Waroi who left for Solomon Islands to join his club Western United who are also preparing for the 2017 OFC Champions League.
"Joachim said he wanted to play for us but his club in the Solomon Islands would not release him. In his place, we are happy to welcome Emmanuel Simon, so it's a loss and gain for us at the same time, Gunemba said.
Simon has already begun training with the Dwellers and Gunemba said that he had no problems fitting in.
"He is a Morobean so I think playing for a Morobe team like the Dwellers will put him in a position to lead other young up-coming players of the province," said Gunemba.

Lithuania Capital Launches Provocative 'G-Spot' Tourism Ads
Lithuania's capital is pressing ahead with controversial plans for a raunchy international advertising campaign that refers to the city as the "G-spot of Europe", despite opposition from the church and central government.
Posters advertising the Baltic country's capital, due to appear from Thursday in Berlin and London, show a young woman lying on bed sheets printed with the map of Europe and clutching a handful of cloth where Vilnius is located.
"Nobody knows where it is, but when you find it, it's amazing. Vilnius, the G-spot of Europe," says the advertisement, which is aimed at portraying the city as the continent's undiscovered treasure.
The reference to the elusive erogenous zone has raised hackles in the devoutly Catholic Baltic EU country of 2.9 million people.
Images of the campaign banner have already gone viral on social media, provoking both support and criticism.
Vilnius Archbishop Gintaras Grusas has said the campaign "potentially strengthens the image of Vilnius as a sex tourism city and exploits the sexuality of women."
The country's government had asked the city to postpone the campaign until after Pope Francis visits in late September, but the organizers refused, arguing that the advertising will end before the pontiff's visit and is in no way associated with him.
"Those who are outraged are only showing that the campaign actually works, because it is making a fuss and provoking discussion," advertisement co-creator Jurgis Ramanauskas told AFP.
The city's official tourism service Go Vilnius said the poster, created by Lithuanian advertising students, is aimed at people aged 18 to 35 and will only be displayed for a week.
It will run alongside an online campaign, which will last a month.
The A-hole of the Middle East!
dahieh is indeed
Yes Galak. It was in response to your comment that MoFan or tric got censored.
Lebanon should promote Dahieh as the A-hole of the world.

I had a lot of weird church dreams when I was first leaving the IFB. In one of the more alarming ones a large group from my home IFB church (most of whom didn't know that I had left the IFB) decided to surprise pop in to my new, contemporary church on a Sunday morning. In another I left for my new church on Sunday morning and somehow ended up at my old IFB church instead. I've done similar things in real life, go on autopilot while driving and go somewhere familiar instead of wherever I was planning to go.
Nope. Not expired. Actually it was chili cheese dip left over from a party. That's cream cheese, covered with Skyline chili (many people don't know what Skyline chili is.... which just means they are not one of the elect and are to be pitied) then covered with mild cheddar. Good stuff. Inspirational, in fact. So it's not surprising that I had a pretty cool dream.
I did feel like the dream was one of those deeper-meaning kind of dreams, but haven't really delved into it much. But my brain tends to work overtime, and it's been pretty chill lately... so, maybe it's just how I'm processing things.

"Budapest organization the Friends of City Cycling (VBB) recently
celebrated its 10th anniversary. The group says its decade of
achievements include that there are now 10 times as many bicycle lanes
in the capital than 10 years ago, that commuters are allowed to take
cycles on the suburban railway, the cog wheel railway and state
railways, and a growing number of people using bikes - although there
is still scope for lobbying, according to VBB president Istvan Kohalmi.
"The 60-year-old bicycle fanatic, who coincidentally celebrates his
birthday on the same day as the association, is constantly encouraging
people to leave their cars at home and get on their bikes. 'Apart from
reasons like it is good for your health, cycling is also a means of
reducing the level of air pollution and thus achieving a city that's
better to live in,' he said. Kohalmi referred to an Austrian study
refuting arguments that cycling in cities is dangerous for a person's
health due to the fumes.
"'Some 10 years ago it was discovered that the pollution cars cause is
doing harm primarily to the drivers themselves. The second most
endangered group are the people who want to let some so-called 'fresh
air' into their apartments, but pedestrians are not in a much better
situation. Cyclists come only next,' he said. The surprising results of
the Austrian team's medical experts included the claim that the faster
the metabolism, the faster the body eliminates harmful materials. The
body of a cyclist evidently works more efficiently in this way than
that of a driver. 'Thus the danger cycling possesses does not come from
pollution. It is rather the behavior of drivers and the inappropriate
quality and organization of cycle lanes,' said Kohalmi..."

Neartown residents. There are the concerned property owners
hoping to avert an onslaught of traffic into their community and
the pedestrians who hope they can make it safely to the corner
store. Somewhere in between, though, are the bicyclists and
community activists in Neartown who find the city's plan to remove
bike lanes along West Alabama. Since it was first announced that
West Alabama would be used as an alternative thoroughfare while
the spur is shut down for three years, there has been talk that the
bike lanes from Woodhead to Weslayan would be removed to
make room for more vehicles...
"The city decided to remove the coveted bike lanes and, to appease
the community, place caution signs for bikers on Fairview Street,
about three-quarters of mile to the north, as an alternative. 'For us to
leave the bike lanes would not allow us to do that
(maintain a safe environment) and it would be a danger to the
bicyclists,' said Gary Norman, a spokesman for the Department of
Public Works and Engineering. 'We felt it (on Fairview) was the safest
route and the best way to maintain connectivity in the bikeway system.'
However, community activists find the removal of the lanes typical of
the city's lack of commitment to the bikeway program. 'Really, it (the city)
only has bike lanes as a token to meet the air quality requirements.
Most of the bike lanes are dangerous because they are too narrow
and the speeding cars go too fast,' said activist Dan 'The Bikeman'

development of the lot on Byberry and Heaton roads. Developer

I know this has been said before, but it would be very nice if there was a modern version of this game as well. Not a mod...I'd buy it (as I guess many here would) as a regular game (ala BF vs BF2).
Just a suggestion in your spare time.

Questions and Answers with Street Artist Earl Lee
Photos courtesy of Earl Lube Industries.
Millionaire. Lady Killer. Sportsman. Street Artist. Earl Lee is in it to win it. Earl Lee's penchant for fast cars and winning ways have turned him into an elusive icon that the most gorgeous women can hang with for only a night or a three day weekend if she bring two friends. The President and CEO of Earl Lube Industries, Earl Lee continues to push the envelope with everything that is fast on land, air or sea while simultaneously breaking the hearts of every centerfold, starlet and trophy queen he encounters. "Born to Race and Race to Win" is Earl's motto… and he's just getting' warmed up……. Find out a little more about Earl Lee and why all the girls love him.
According2G: How long have you been doing street art?
Earl Lee: Started on the mean streets of Newport Beach, Cali approximately November of 2008.
A2G: Can you tell us a few of your heroes and influences?
EL: The Earl character influences are too many to list but the top three in Earl's DNA would be Howard Hughes, Hugh Heffner, and Frank Frazetta's comic strip character Johnny Comet. As far as street art, the first influence would have to be Shepard Fairey. I don't think you can be a contemporary street artist and not be influenced by him in some way. I don't just mean his art work but the sheer volume of work he has produced and put on the streets around the world. Nobody can argue the fact that the man is prolific. Somebody told me he only slept three hours a night in the beginning. When I first picked up his Supply & Demand book, I read a part in the beginning that said, "…the fact is, if you want to make stickers but aren't making them, you're just lazy". That hit me right between the eyes because I had the means and the desire but was being held back by fear I think.
Some of my favorite/influential artists at the moment would have to be Nomade for the quality of their work and Mittenimwald out of Germany who I have been fortunate enough to do some collabs with. Mittenimwald is a stencil genius when it comes to the female form and his texture work is off the chart. I also like obscure guys like Stinkfish out of Columbia. For sure the Cyrcle crew for the size and quality of the pieces they have been getting up here in LA lately. All my LA street artist homies like Felix and the others I've met at the gallery shows since coming out of the closet… so to speak. But if I had it to do all over again, I think I'd follow in the footsteps of guys like Bozo Texino or buZ blurr and just write my moniker on rail cars. LOL!
As for heroes… I have been fortunate to have worked with or hung out with several of mine over the years and I find most all of them to have clay feet. So I took the best of all of them and made up my own hero in Earl Lee. Although Earl is very much alive he does not have any human frailties…. because he is a toon.
A2G: Tell us about the beginnings of Earl Lee.
EL: I had created the character of Earl Lee at least a year or two before I started putting him up on the street. In the very beginning I really wanted to get him up but could never seem to pull the trigger. At the time I had a very well-paying job working for a celebrity of sorts and I had a lot of fear about "what if I get caught." Then I made a trip to the Wilshire and Fairfax district in downtown LA with a friend one Saturday. I was very familiar with the whole Melrose scene but did not know about this "new" area and the stores that were popping up there. While walking around I came across a Boy Bomb stenciled on the side walk in front of the ALIFE store. At that time I did not have a clue who Dog Byte was. I still don't know why but that image stopped me in my tracks and really resonated with me. I'd seen lots of stencil work before but there was just something about that image and maybe the fact that it was boldly painted right on the sidewalk, red and black, right where you couldn't possibly miss it. At that very moment I knew I had to get busy with Earl and I've been chasing it ever since, like an addiction of sorts. I still have a picture of that Boy Bomb stencil, from that day, on my studio wall for inspiration.
About a year or so after I started putting up Earl this guy RIK455ER hits me up on Facebook. I laugh about it today but at the time he was so ninja and off the grid that he did not even have a phone! He had to borrow a cell phone to call me. From that day on he has become a good friend to Earl and we have done a lot of shows together as well as a very successful sticker collab. He is probably the most prolific sticker guy out there as he has been doing it literally 24/7 365 for over ten years. No joke. Now this is the strange part…. several months into our friendship I tell him about the Boy Bomb experience on Fairfax and he tells me that he was bombing with Dog Byte and they both did that stencil in front of the ALIFE store. Weird! I give the biggest props to 455er for taking Earl under his wing and fast tracking him through all the land mines and the "who's who in the zoo" and avoiding all the dramas. I really try to stay above it all.
A2G: What is Earl Lube Industries?
EL: I've always had a fascination with vintage advertising, especially pertaining to vintage speed equipment companies, gas saving devices, spark plugs and especially the oil additive companies such as Bardahl, Wynns, Justice Brothers, and STP. Earl Lee is the CEO of Earl Lube Industries, a multi-million dollar company passed on to him by his father in an era when a million dollars was a lot of money. The main product is of course, Earl Lube.
A2G: Who is your favorite racer?
EL: Earl Lee, of course. If that does not count then it would have to be A.J. Foyt. I have been fortunate to hang out with him in his garage at the Indy 500.
A2G: Why does Earl talk in the third person?
EL: Earl's life is like a National Geographic documentary about a mysterious daredevil that all the ladies love. Truth is, Earl is so busy living his life of high excitement that he hardly has time to speak at all! This is why Bubba, Earl's closest friend, confidant, and custodian of Earl Lube Industries, interprets and narrates Earl's life for his fans.
A2G: Take us through a day in the life of Earl.
EL: After hitting the alarm and shaking off the three ladies from the night before, Earl gets up to put on his pants like any other normal man but he does not have to bother with his cowboy boots because they never come off. He has his normal hearty breakfast of three eggs, three sausage links, three strips of bacon, three waffles and one grapefruit cut into three halves. He washes this all down with a full quart of his own patented confection of Earl Lube– a snake oil, motor oil, personal lubricant that tastes a bit like butterscotch. It's Earl Lube, the elixir which gives him his power over women. Just a quart a day and all the ladies would love you, too!
Though Earl is a scratch golfer and winning gambler, it's in racing where Earl's true passion lies. The thrill of the chase, the quest for glory, and the pure need for speed is what fires Earl's heart. If you were to ever wonder what was on Earl's mind, you could bet your mother's wedding ring he'd be thinking of his next trophy.
As a captain of industry and CEO of Earl Lube Industries, duty sometimes calls and Earl must be quick to respond. Though Earl's business headquarters are off in Pasadena, his mechanic always has his P-51 Mustang fired up and ready to fly on a moment's notice. However, Earl finds a way to finish every day at the racetrack and though he may not always go home with the trophy, he always takes home the loveliest ladies.
A2G: Speaking of ladies, can you give us some tips that you've been successful with for getting the ladies?
EL: O.K., ladies, look at Earl… now look at your man… now look back at Earl… if your man used Earl Lube every day you'd have that same tingling feeling for him that you have for Earl right now. Cause everybody knows… "ALL THE GIRLS LOVE EARL LUBE".
A2G: Any close calls?
EL: For a cop to roll by while doing an Earl install is almost standard procedure for some reason. I've had help on some large installs and when the cop rolls by I tell them to just keep pasting. I've never been hassled yet… knock on wood.
A2G: What's next for Earl?
EL: There are more Earl x Mittenimwald collabs in the pipeline as well as rolling out an Earl Lube Industries advertising campaign. The advertising campaign is based on a love of vintage advertising, water slide decals, "Authorized Dealer" stuff, old match book covers, etc. Some of the stuff is re-purposed retro images and some of it is brand new. The balancing act is always blending Earl's vintage roots yet keeping him minty fresh and current.
A2G: Parting words?
EL: Don't think Earl Lube Industries is all fictional. As we all know, Earl Lee is a genius inventor. Earl's fans keep asking how they can get their hands on Earl swag, so Earl is soon to be rolling out some prints and other stuff to make them happy. He is also working on something geared towards the hardcore street artist and hopes to start testing that out on the streets shortly. So stay tuned kids…. there's lots more to come in the adventures of Earl Lee.
Thanks Earl. Just so you know, it's not just the girls that love you. We love you too!

Hitless in eight at-bats with runners in scoring position, eleven men left on base. Yankees lose, thaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees lose. Bullets points is all I have the motivation for, so…
- Four at-bats with the bases loaded, and all four guys swung at the first pitch. Three resulted in outs, the other a swing-and-miss. This game was over after the fifth inning, when the Yankees had the bases loaded with no one out only to have Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez make three outs on two pitches. Terrible job by them, and also by Derek Jeter (strikeout on a pitch at eye level) and Nick Swisher (first pitch groundout) for those hacky at-bats with the bases loaded in the eighth.
- We got our first look at bad Freddy Garcia in this one. He had no command of his slop, giving up homers to Jose Bautista and J.P. Arencibia on a pair of 80-something mph nothingballs that hung out over the plate. Batting practice pitches. He walked five guys in five innings, and the only reason it wasn't worst than it was (three runs in five innings) is because Juan Rivera hacked at pitches out of the zone to end two innings/threats.
- David Robertson botched a run down that directly led to two extra runs scoring for Toronto in sixth, the eventual margin of victory. That was (at least) the second time this year a Yankees pitcher botched a run down that led to multiple runs for the other team. Also, walking the leadoff hitter (a fast guy at that) on four pitches is a major no-no.
- Robinson Cano had two homers and two walks, raising his season totals to eight and three, respectively. His last two homer game came exactly one year ago Friday. Tex and Russell Martin each had a single and a walk, but the other six hitters in the lineup combined to go 3-for-24 with three walks (two by Brett Gardner) and ten strikeouts.
- Here's the box score and video, here's the WPA Graph.
That's pretty much all I care to write about this loss. These same two teams will play again tomorrow afternoon (4pm ET start, but apparently it's on YES and not FOX), when A.J. Burnett faces Kyle Drabek. If you want to head up to the Stadium, RAB Tickets can get you there dirt cheap.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 8, 2014 - It makes sense for communities and local government to build fiber networks to manage their communications need, said Joanne Hovis, President of CTC Communications, at the Broadband Communities Conference here.
Using a simple analysis of the costs to deploy T-1 communications networks versus fiber networks, Hovis showed how Montgomery County schools paid $3,600 per megabit per second (Mbps) annually to receive service at 1.54 Mbps. These costs were lowered to $1,800 per Mbps through eRate funds.
But, when calculating the costs of building a fiber network in the county, schools were able to receive 100 Mbps service at a cost of $70 per Mbps, she said. "Think about these kinds of strategies as you think about your fiber strategy," Hovis said, at a session on "building the economic case for fiber broadband."
