Lisa Copen is the woman behind Rest Ministries. After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1993 and not finding the support or resource she had hoped for in the Christian community, she began Rest Ministries. This has given her the chance to follow her dreams of writing and speaking, and even becoming an affiliate ministry with Joni and Friends, the disability ministry of Joni Eareckson Tada. As Lisa dives into the Word she is constantly reminded of just how applicable every bit of it is, especially for those who are suffering with chronic illness or pain.

I can't sign in to Skype...
Having trouble signing into Skype? Don't worry, it happens. This guide will help you find an answer to your problem.
You can sign into Skype with a Skype Name, Microsoft account, or Facebook account. Depending on which type of account you use to sign in, the sign-in process and account recovery steps are different.
We're working to update the Skype signup process, and that means a larger number of people signing up for Skype will create a Microsoft account (or use an existing Microsoft account) instead of a Skype Name. A Microsoft account provides improved sign in, recovery, and account security.
If you created a Skype Name when you signed up for Skype, your username is a combination of letters and numbers unique to your account (for example, "someone123").
If you created a Microsoft Account when you signed up for Skype (or used an existing Microsoft Account) your username is an email address (example: email@example.com), and you probably received a verification email from the Microsoft Account Team. If you signed up recently and don't remember creating a Skype Name, you probably have a Microsoft Account. If your email address is @outlook.com, @hotmail.com or @live.fr, you already have a Microsoft account and you can sign in to Skype with the same email and password you use to check your email on Outlook.com.
If you have a Skype Name (you don't use an email address to sign in), select Skype Name on the sign-in screen.
- If you're having trouble signing in with your Skype Name and password, click here.
- Enter your registered email address (the email address you used when you signed up for Skype) and click Send email. If you can't remember or access your registered email address, please contact Skype Customer Service for assistance.
- You will receive an email with a temporary code. If you aren't receiving the email in your inbox, check your junk or spam folders.
- Click the link inside the email to recover your sign-in details (or, if that doesn't work, click the Enter code button on the Email sent screen and enter the code from the email).
- The Skype account(s) for the registered email address will appear on the screen. Click the correct account in the list, then click the Sign in link (or the Reset password button if you forgot your password).
Important: If the account selected displays a Reset Microsoft password button, it is a Microsoft account. Try to sign in with the Microsoft account first (see the section below for details).
If you use a Microsoft account to sign in (an email address) select Microsoft account on the sign-in screen.
If you can't sign in because you've forgotten your password, go to the Microsoft account page and follow the instructions to reset your password.
If you signed in to Skype with your Facebook account and you've forgotten your password, visit this Facebook page to get the instructions on how to reset your password.*

LINCOLN – Don't believe everything you read. That was no flat-screen TV in the box, like the label said. That was Alex Camperone's trophy. It was his prize for spending most of a drizzly and raw, post-Thanksgiving night waiting outside the Target store at Lincoln Mall. Those other folks in a line of customers that snaked halfway around the mall, waiting, along with Camperone, for the store to open – they were Camperone's rivals in a hungry quest for doorbuster bargains.
WOONSOCKET – Sometimes school work can be fun. Especially if that school work is a project that allows students to tell about their family history and ethnic backgrounds. Ousamequin Martinez, a middle school sixth grader, found that out while working on his cluster's Culture Day Exhibit at the Villa Nova Street building. Students could complete an essay as part of their project assignment or work on preparing a meal item that members of their family would have offered in their ethnic homeland.
WOONSOCKET – Area EMTs have a new set of tools to assist them in responding to medical emergencies, following a round of training sessions on the latest protocols and standards issued recently by the Department of Health. The new state guidelines that went into effect Nov. 1 allow trained and certified EMS Cardiac responders to apply higher level life support techniques when assisting patients with difficulty breathing, heart attack and other life-threatening medical conditions, according to Woonsocket Fire Department EMS Coordinator Steven Encarnation.
Brittany Paulhus of Blackstone stocks fresh turkeys on jam-packed shelves yesterday at the Park 'n Shop Supermarket in Blackstone. "It tops last year," she said. "It's been busy in here all morning."
WOONSOCKET – They say money talks, and with any luck, it will settle the controversy over the worth of the abandoned contents of Woonsocket Middle School in 10 days. That's when a Boston company will auction off the massive collection of property left behind by the Woonsocket Education Department when the building was turned over to the city. Personnel from Sullivan & Sullivan Auctioneers is already in the Park Place building sorting the varied inventory in preparation for the auction, said company president Marianne Sullivan.
PROVIDENCE – Attorney General-elect Peter Kilmartin announced the creation of his transition committee, which will help maintain and recruit the top legal talent at the Office of Attorney General while providing policy recommendations.
LINCOLN — With the first public unveiling of the edifice to be called only "The Center," Town Administrator T. Joseph Almond and State Rep. Mary Ann Shallcross Smith called Saturday morning a glorious moment for Lincoln. It was easy to tell by the glow in the eyes of 89-year-old Gladys McKee that she heartily agreed. McKee, a former Cumberland resident who now calls Lincoln home, relaxed in the main lobby of the state-of-the-art, 11,000 square-foot facility — following a ceremony attracting perhaps 200 – and reveled in its beauty.
WOONSOCKET – Pat Dempster is busy getting ready for next week's holiday dinner at the Because He Lives Soup Kitchen on Blackstone Street but she's not too pressed to say thank you to the kitchen's long-time benefactors. The benefactors were out in force at Terry's Tire and Auto at Monument Square recently and once again generated a significant boost of support for the kitchen's annual operating costs.
WOONSOCKET — The federal government lodged new charges yesterday against two men accused in the Sept. 20 shooting death and robbery of gas station manager David Main. Jason Pleau and Jose Santiago, both 33, were charged in a U.S. District Court complaint with one count each of Hobbs Act robbery, conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery and use of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, death resulting, U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha announced.
BURRILLVILLE — Careless smoking in bed is being blamed for an early-morning fire that injured two residents and two firefighters Wednesday. The fire broke out around 4:15 a.m. in the right side apartment of a two-family duplex at 118 Grove St. in the Pascoag section of town. The apartment was occupied by a 60-year-old woman and a 57-year-old-man who is handicapped and wheelchair bound. Pascoaaqg Fire Chief John DeFusco said the woman told EMT's that she was was hooked up to an oxygen tank and had been smoking in bed when she fell asleep.

The Customer Is Always Right
by Edward A. Ross
Buying a car should be a fun experience.
I don't like to buy one, though, if the old car still runs. I try to keep old Dobbin until it has a final accident or breakdown that costs more than the Bluebook value to repair. I do like a new car, but I know that the value declines steeply in the first year and that I have to pay Massachusetts' stiff sales and excise taxes.
My wife, however, doesn't feel quite the same as I do. Inger is willing to put up with the depreciation and the taxes in order to own a shiny new car, especially when she never did like the one she had. (How we got the old one is another story I won't go into now.)
We decided to purchase a top-of-the-line Honda Civic with side air bags and manual transmission. It also has a CD stereo, antilock brakes, and a "moon roof," which is like a sunroof except that sunlight gives you skin cancer, so I guess you're supposed to use it at night. You can't get the CD player or the antilock brakes unless you get the moon roof, so I guess these devices all run on lunar power.
We had a Honda Civic before, and my wife loved it. Consumer Reports also loves the new Honda Civic EX and recommends the side air bags and the moonbeam package. So we went to our local Honda dealer, which used to service our previous Civic, and got a quote.
I also decided to see what the Internet had to offer in the way of Hondas.
I found a URL for CarsDirect.com and filled out a form requesting a quotation on a green Honda equipped as above with five-speed manual transmission. The price was about $1,000 lower than the local dealer's quote. We telephoned the dealer about CarsDirect.com's quote. A salesperson called back later to say that the dealership had the car in stock and would meet the Internet price. We said, "Great!"
At this point, you may be asking, "What has this got to do with motion control?"
Well, motion control is a business, and it must follow the same rules that other industries do. One rule is, "Don't try to build a business entirely on low price!" Another is, "Don't depend too much on a gimmick."
I really felt sorry for CarsDirect.com. It had saved us $1,000, and I felt grateful. But how could we turn down a car we could drive away in favor of an unknown entity that didn't furnish any information on delivery?
As a management consultant, I tend to try to find solutions for companies with problems.
This company depends on offering a low price and on the gimmick that it sells via the Internet. A very low price gets attention. To turn the attention into profit, it would have to provide something more.
Think about this: How big a success was the Yugo? Are the stripped-down models the best-selling cars? How well did People Express do when the airlines targeted it by matching its prices?
The CarsDirect.com site claims "service from top local dealers" and "full warranty protection." But we get these from our local dealer.
The name "CarsDirect.com" implies that the company thinks it's a joy for the consumer to buy "direct." "Direct," in this case, means CarsDirect .com buys the car from the dealer at a discount and sells it to you, rather than finding a dealer for you and you buying the car yourself.
The story of the new Ross car didn't end there, however. It turned out that the dealership, Honda Village, didn't actually have the car we were looking for. Cars were available with side air bags and automatic transmission or with manual transmission but no side air bags. Or else they didn't have the moon pack. "We are searching throughout all of New England," Bill Elbaum, the Honda Village representative, told us. After a couple of weeks, I told Inger that maybe we should buy the car from CarsDirect.com.
In our family, I'm recognized as having the earth-shaking ideas, some of which I tell you about in my columns; Inger has the good practical sense. She asked, "How do we know what CarsDirect.com is?" This sounded like a good thought. I've bought lots of things on the Internet; while most of them turned out well, there were some horrible exceptions.
I turned to the Minuteman Library system (through the Internet, of course). Mostly, it was reassuring. CarsDirect.com was funded, at the start, with $30 million from Michael Dell. The Dell is the fifth PC I purchased and the first one that ever really made me happy. When I had trouble with the Zip drive, a replacement drive was at my house the next morning, delivered and installed by a friendly, competent, and helpful technician.
Cars Direct.com was also funded with $300 million from venture capitalists. It seems to have lost millions of dollars in each of its 14 months in operation, but it appeared that it could certainly fund another car sale. I also sent a communication via CarsDirect.com's Web site asking whether, when giving a price quote on a car with specific equipment, that meant the car was in stock. The printed answer was that unless otherwise specifically noted, it was.
As I've already said, Inger has the good practical sense. The printed answer satisfied me but not my wife.
"This car may be in Hawaii," she said. "Or Katmandu. We need to talk to a real live person!" she declared.
I called a number I found on the Web site. I asked the voice at the other end if it was really true that the car we wanted could be delivered, as the printing on the Web page indicated. We were a little worried about whether this could really be done, since the local dealers had been unable to find it in New England.
"Of course we can't get that car if your dealer can't get it," he said. "We look to see if a car is available within 20 or 30 miles of your location. Why would you think we can find a car when the dealer can't?"
I can see why he was nettled. There really was no way for him to get around the fact that he had nothing to offer except price. As a result, he was asking questions instead of answering them. He was doing nothing to sell us a car.
"I've looked up your company, and I see you're losing millions of dollars every month," I told him. "Now I can see why."
"Why did you come to us if we are such a bad company?" If he had waited for an answer, I would have told him that I don't think CarsDirect is a "bad" company; he just wasn't giving us any reason to deal with it.
"Why don't you get a quote? It doesn't cost you a cent." If he had waited for an answer, I would have answered, "I did get a quote. What you mean is that if we click on 'order' and send you the required $200, your company will start looking for a car in earnest. Although your site states that the money can be returned 'for any reason,' it seems like another complication that we don't want."
Although this CarsDirect employee was loyally trying to defend his company, he wasn't helping it. I believe that he should have asked himself just what the company president ought to be asking: "What business are we in?"
Selling cars direct? That's part of it.
I believe, though, that what a really successful car salesperson sells is a pleasurable car-buying experience. During the Great Depression and for some time afterward, there used to be an expression, "The customer is always right." It didn't mean that he was right legally or ethically or even factually. It meant, simply, that the customer is the one who decides whether your business is going to continue to exist.
Finally, we got a call from Elbaum. "We located your car. In Saco, Maine."
If you don't know New England geography, I have to tell you that you must go through New Hampshire to get from Maine to Massachusetts.
"We'll have to drive it down. It will put 116 miles on it."
"It's black," he said.
When it arrived at Honda Village, we went over to give the dealer both the cashier's check and the information required to get the plates. Bill asked if we wanted to see it. We did, of course.
We gazed at it in rapture. It was breathtakingly beautiful!
We got it home just in time for me to write a happy ending to my column. It's been a fun experience. MC

HUDSON, Wis. (AP) - The attorney for the man accused of killing his three daughters in Wisconsin is asking a court to stop a mental health professional from visiting the defendant in jail.
Attorney John Kucinski says the mental health worker is an "agent of the state" and that the repeated visits violate Aaron Schaffhausen's constitutional rights. Kucinski says the prosecutor and jail staff are working together to document information about Schaffhausen that can be used against him. He argues the documentation might hurt an insanity defense if they decide to pursue it.
The Star Tribune reports Kucinski has cited a sheriff's sergeant memo directing jailers to document Schaffhausen's behavior, visits and interactions. The Minot, N.D., carpenter is charged with killing 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophia and 5-year-old Cecilia Schaffhausen.

Huntington to host Department of Education visit day
Huntington, Ind.—Huntington University's Department of Education is dedicated to developing effective stewards of knowledge, learner development, learning environments and instruction. On March 1, the department will share these ideas with prospective students by hosting a group visit day.
"Our hope is to acquaint prospective students with the strengths of our program and the experiences they will have if they choose to come to HU," said Cindy Steury, associate professor of education and assistant dean for faculty development.
The university has seen a dramatic increase in scheduled visits for the current year. With approximately 300 more visits this year compared to last, the Admissions Department encourages prospective students to attend one of several group visit days.
Any high school sophomore, junior or senior wishing to pursue a future in elementary, secondary, middle school or special education is encouraged to attend.
"Visitors will have the opportunity to meet other students who are serious about becoming educators," said Steury. "This is encouraging and affirming because it allows visitors to feel like they are part of a group of people like them."
Events for the day will include touring the campus, attending a chapel service, eating lunch with faculty and current students of the education department, and participating in classes specific to the visitors' interests. Discussions for the day will take place in HU's model classroom. This room is designed to replicate a typical elementary classroom in a public school system so students practically apply what they are learning.
"During this time we will discuss our program's accreditation through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the foundation of knowledge our liberal arts program gives educators, and the options students will have through our different programs," said Steury.
Although visitors will participate in the visitation day as a group, there will be time for individual meetings with the professors. Admissions counselors will wrap up the visit by discussing the admissions process and financial aid with the students and their parents.
To attend Huntington's Department of Education visit day, it is necessary to RSVP no later than Feb. 28. Contacting the admissions office at (800) 642-6493 or e-mail Campus Visit Coordinator Carlene Peters, at firstname.lastname@example.com. To RSVP online, visit www.huntington.edu/admissions/visit/default.htm and click the Education Department Visit Day link.

I am now the current owner of the General Exam Hat.
Excuse me while I go pass out.
I have no idea what this is about, but if congratulations are in order, you can have them.
And nice hat!
I think this merits a submission to this:
Amazing! Congratulations on being at the all-but-dissertation stage. I look forward to the day when I reach that point :)
I hope you are passing out from celebrating too much! Take a well deserved break and go in late tomorrow.
Wonderful news.
A far more stressful event than the dissertation defense, in my opinion.
Your masthead needs an update, then. Nicely done.
Very nice! As i just passed mine in the fall, i definitely know how you feel. Well done! Take a well deserved rest.
And for those that don't know, a general exam is typically (different programs and schools differ) a multi-hour (we're talking 4-6) oral exam between the candidate (Jen) and the several professors that make up her committee. Just them in a room, answering questions for hours. This is also usually prefaced by writing an independent proposal which is quite an ordeal in itself. So, yeah, quite the ordeal. But it's over!
Oh, nonono. No corncob. Only two people have made five-star (General of the Armies), and McArthur wasn't one of them.
Good black lineman's boots, yeah.
Okay, I'm smoking crack. McArthur is in that club. Mea Culpa.
Well done!
And do you have a Grad Student Beer Fund where those so inclined might drop a few bucks for celebratory imbibement?
Woo hoooo! Awesome news! I'm so happy for you.
Congrats! Now you get to focus on just whatever topics you want to focus on from now on. (er, that is, except for whatever TAing and stuff you have to do) Freeeedoooooomm!!!
Today. That's what we're celebrating (take my congrats…please!).
She passed the test to be the Village People's general. Look for her on tour soon…
Great news! Congrats to you!
Congratulations. The next years are the best ones.
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Jen! Time for a long sleep and lots of celebratory chocolate
Yes, you should celebrate now! Because from tomorrow morning onwards, we expect you to be dutifully planning and rehearsing your strategy for the snake fight portion of the thesis defense. I hear preparation for this often takes longer the writing the actual thesis itself.
I'm thinking a riding crop, actually. Not entirely out of perversion.
Following the better thesis = smaller snake line, wouldn't a perfect thesis mean a snake so small as to be nonexistent, at least in any but a philosophical sense?
Even a garter snake bite can get infected.
Best bet is on the thesis. Write that snake into nonexistence.
Congrats, luckily in the UK we don't need to do anything similar, closest is our MPhil transfer Viva, which is "just" defending our work so far to see if our research is likely to result in a Phd after further study(that is for those who don't start on a Phd programme from the outset)
*congratulatory fist bump*
Well done you! Now take a couple of days to feel smug before you do anything else.
I extend my sincere and warm felicitations upon gaining another welcome qualification!
next stop Pile it Higher and Deeper Land.
Oh, and, at last, proof that you too are an Alien from The Planet of the Hats
Nice. Mine is on Thursday. I want to die.
(I doubt I will receive a hat)
Delurking to say "go you!" We don't do a general exam on this side of the ocean, for which I am entirely grateful. It sounds harrowing. Now go recover and then celebrate.
Congratulations!! The actual defense is a breeze. Now you just have to, you know, *do* the project. :)
Hooray and congratulations! :)
My humble self didn't have to do a "general exam" for my PhD either. Here in Germany, I simply started writing my thesis after I got my M.A., finished it in some three years, and then had go give talk and discussion, which is called "disputatio". That was it (apart from paying for the printing costs, obviously)
P.S. Is the hat really for real? You get a military style general's hat and not a mortar-board?
Not too sure of the significance of the hat, but well done.
Actually only one living person has made that rank, Pershing, although Congress decided that Washington outranked him and promoted him to it long after his death.
The insignia is for General of the Army, not Armies, and four have held that rank Marshall, MacArthur, Eisenhower and Bradley. Arnold also held this rank but retired as General of the Air Force.
Pershing wore one large star. The insignia is often worn by small town sheriffs with big bellies and inadequate equipment.
Pershing was alive at the time of being promoted General of the Armies (that is grammatically correct), Washington was not.
No one's perfect. I'd come up with a little something just in case.
Congrats, Jen!
Congratulations of the highest order!
Hey you! Almost a scientist!
/me salutes General Exam!
It's the greatest feeling being past such a hurdle. I hope you get some rest and relaxation as a reward for this.
Congratulations. I know how trying those can be from both my ex-husbands having gone through it.
Somewhat Incorrect. There have been a number of Five-star holders beyond those you cite:
William Leahy
Ernest King
Chester Nimits
William Halsey
Pershing's rank is a bit of a grey area, as it was never really solidified in terms of star count, and the title itself was largely ceremonial as a reward for his service in WWI. Pershing himself only wore four stars, but gold, not silver, something unique as far as I can tell.
Had the invasion of japan proceeded as planned, MacArthur would have been a Six-Star general. There was a movement in the 50s to do this anyway, but it would have caused more problems than it was worth, and so MacArthur declined the promotion.
Washington's posthumous promotion was more of a "so no one will ever outrank him" thing.
Technically, Adm. Dewey was a Six Star admiral, being the only person ever promoted to that rank within the Navy.
The entire "superrank" area is kind of neat reading overall.
Oh, and of course, Congrats Jen!
You should really go with the Napolean hat and sash. much cooler overall.
Congratulations! Now you only have three to five years of drudgery before you get to tack those ridiculous initials, Ph.D. behind your name. As another long ago sufferer, I salute you.
Yeah! Good job.
Whoa now. She's been a scientist since she was doing paper worthy research on genetic bottlenecks.
(yes I had to google the subject)
Kudos to you JM….now get
out there and accidentally prove the theory of intelligent design…
Again…my ignorance in academic traditions are likely showing again, but I presume the hat is not cosplay? o.O
It's no surprise, but congratulations anyway.
Niiize hat! (And mazel tov!)
Congratulations! And if the genome sciences thing doesn't work out (although that seems unlikely now), you can find work as a hat model.
Well, I scanned throught the comments, and it seems that nobody has said it, so I will:
I always did love a woman in uniform!
It's a peaked cap, a type associated with military officers' uniforms (and, to a lesser extent, police and merchant marine officers).
This particular model has a star on it. Stars denote officers of the General rank.
She passed her general exam.
Congratulations, and you look smashing in that hat!
Congrats! And I have to say that my first impression of the pic was that you look like a very well qualified hall monitor who might possibly let you sneak out early.

Topic: Song of Myself
In section 1 and 52 of Whitman's "Song of Myself", are there examples of metaphors and personifications?
1 Answer | add yours
Whitman uses many metaphors and personification in his poetry. In the first part of "Song of Myself", he uses this line:
"Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,"
This line personifies the creeds and schools. Whitman turns them into living things that may or may not obey.
Section 52 uses personification as well. The section starts with the line:
"The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab
and my loitering."
Here the hawk accuses and complains, both human characteristics.
This section also contains a metaphor (a simile actually) where Whitman compares himself to air.
"I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags."

NEW YORK NURSE: April 2011
by Erin Silk
For more than 13 years, NYSNA's Statewide Peer Assistance for Nurses program (SPAN) has been helping nurses return to work after seeking help for substance use or addiction.
SPAN is run by NYSNA staff RNs who understand the healthcare workplace and the bio-psycho-social, professional, and legal problems that nurses affected by substance use disorders face.
The program began in 1997 and received a boost in June of 2000 when state education law was amended to include peer assistance as a necessary component of recovery for substance use disorders.
"Peer assistance is at the core of the work that we do. Including this element in the education law allows for intervention at any point along the continuum of use, misuse, abuse, addiction and recovery — preserving nurse resources and public safety," said Ellen Brickman, director, SPAN program.
Underlying every aspect of the SPAN program is the belief that every nurse deserves access to treatment, help in preserving his or her license and employment status, and ongoing support throughout the recovery process. Advocates trained in peer assistance support nurses in recovery from their initial intake in SPAN, through their return to the workplace and ongoing recovery.
SPAN provides a balance between the needs of the nurse and the needs of patients and aims to:
SPAN staff are ready to offer support to any New York state licensed nurse affected by a substance use disorder who asks for help to achieve recovery. They share information and education about addiction and peer assistance; help promote prevention and early recognition of addiction through workshops and a HELPline; and offer ongoing assistance through peer support groups facilitated by trained volunteer advocates throughout the state.
If you know a nurse, or you are a nurse who struggles with a substance-related problem, please consider reaching out to SPAN at 800.45.SPAN.1, or e-mail email@example.com.

I was 24 weeks, 2 days, when out of nowhere I was being admitted to |
I was 24 weeks, 2 days, when out of nowhere I was being admitted to the hospital and rushed into surgery for a c-section because I had a BP of 251/175, and my baby girl, Sadie Quinn, was in distress. My baby was delivered (via classic c-section) and survived only a few minutes, due to "severe preeclampsia/HELLP and low birth weight" (as printed on her death certificate). She was only 365 grams, but truly the most beautiful and precious thing I had EVER laid my eyes on. We held our beautiful baby girl for as long as we could, crying and praying that this was just a nightmare and she wasn't gone. I was in ICU for 2 nights, then moved to a floor for 2 more nights, while I recovered from the c-section and other post-surgery complications. My poor husband had to make plans from the hospital with the funeral home, something NO parent should have to ever experience. We came home a week after our baby girl was born and are now trying to recover physically and yet harder, emotionally. How do you "un-prepare" the past 6 months, how do you get past/accept your baby is gone, how do you smile when you are aching so badly inside and just want to hold your baby again? Then there are all the questions as to how this happened, why this happened, and will this happen again? |

Silent cartoon.
A series combining live action and animation created by Max Fleischer, this was one of the most popular short subjects of the 1920s. The films started with the artist, Max Fleischer drawing "The Clown," who would eventually be known as Koko. The "Clown" would challenge his creator, exhibiting a will of his own, and eventually break away from his existence on paper, crossing "the fourth wall" into reality, seeking some sort of pay back for being controlled by his creator, only to be returned to the inkwell before things got too far "out of hand."

You could compost them, donate them to a soup kitchen if they are the eating kind, or give them to someone who has livestock. All kinds of livestock love pumpkins, including chickens, pigs, horses, and goats. I used to love giving my horse a pumpkin, watching him stomp it open and then eat it.

Oh I was going to say scoop out the seeds and roast them... Roasted pumpkin seeds are the best!
They might not be still "good" though I guess, depending how long they'd been out and how warm its been. |

I'm sad to say that I'm from Kansas, and I'm also sad to say that this is a common sight. It doesn't matter what size the women are, if they're in a certain age group (13-25 or so), they'll wear stuff like this. Oh, and to whoever mentioned that if she moved, the people in Kansas would think there's an earthquake – more likely, we'll think a tornado dropped Dorothy's house back onto the ground.
