KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A search continues for a missing man who suffers from a mental disability and is currently without his medication. Now the family of D'Andre Whitfield, 22, has offered a reward for help in finding him.
Whitfield was last seen by his mother on Tuesday at his home on Morgan Springs Way in North Knoxville. He was later spotted around 1:00 p.m. that day at Knoxville Center Mall.
A convenience store clerk says he was at a gas station off I-40 in Roane County on Wednesday.
He told the clerk he had walked there from Knoxville and was headed to Cumberland County. His family says he doesn't know anyone there.
The family is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to his safe return.
If you have any information, you are urged to call 911.
Whitfield's mother said that due to his diagnosis as a paranoid schizophrenic, he is often misunderstood and may have been injured by unknowingly offending someone.
D'Andre Whitfield is a black male, about 5'8" tall, weighing 190 lbs., with brown eyes, black hair styled in a small afro with a full beard and a tattoo on the right side of his neck that says "lil oozy."

Well, now we have even less of a reason to waste time with ESPN's Monday Night Football "coverage."
The announcement came down a few hours ago that, starting with the 2012 season, Monday Night Football will go to a two-man booth of Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden. That means that the one redeeming member of the network's Monday Night Football coverage, former Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback Ron Jaworski, will not be there on Monday nights.
Jaworski is one of the most respected analysts in the league and, as anyone that's heard him can attest, spends a ton of time watching and breaking down film to add even more insight to the games that he's covering. Apparently he's going to remain a part of ESPN's other "match-up" type of shows, and the four-letter is trying to sell this as not being a demotion for Jaws, but I just don't get the logic. Tirico is a decent enough announcer, but Gruden makes me long for the glory days of Dennis Miller and/or Tony Kornheiser.
(And, yes, I'm one of about five people on the North American continent that will defend Dennis Miller on Monday Night Football.)
So, if you need even less reason to watch Monday Night Football in 2012, ESPN has been generous enough to provide it for you.

Back Pain
Using improper lifting techniques can lead to back injuries, but other factors can contribute to this age-old problem.
Poor Posture:
Whether you're standing, sitting, or reclining, your posture affects your back. Awkward postures increase strain on back muscles and can bend the spine into positions that can put pressure on discs and cause trouble. When awkward postures are prolonged or repetitive, the risk of injury is greater.
When standing correctly, the spine has a natural "S" curve. Your ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles should be aligned with your spine in this natural "S" curve.
When you sit using proper posture, your hips should be equal to or slightly higher than your knees. Sit with your hips pushed against the back of the chair so that the backrest supports your back.
Sleeping posture is as important as standing and sitting postures. Try to sleep on your side with your knees bent or on your back. Sleeping on your stomach can strain your spine and cause morning backache.
Poor Physical Condition:
Your physical condition can lead to back pain. If you are overweight, especially if you have a pot-belly, extra strain is placed on your spine. Every pound up front puts 10 pounds of strain on your back.
When you are out of shape, the chances for chronic back pain are greater. Infrequent exercise can also lead to trouble. Sudden strains on unconditioned back muscles can cause injury, especially when there is sudden twisting or turning of the back. Proper diet and exercise can both help to avoid back problems.
Stress is another factor that can lead to back pain. Stress at work or home can cause tension in muscles leading to tightness and muscle spasms. Although stress is part of everyone's life, excessive stress may cause backache. The solution is to a balanced lifestyle with time to relax.
Repetitive Trauma:
Most people think back injuries result from lifting heavy or awkward objects. Many back injuries, however, do not come from a single lift. They result from relatively minor strains that occur repeatedly over time. As you repeat irritating movements, minor injuries begin to accumulate and weaken affected muscles or ligaments. Eventually, the small injuries add up and a more serious injury can result.
It is important to remember that a specific lift may have little to do with any single injury. Remember to use mechanical aids along with good lifting technique to do any lifting whenever possible. And always ask for help if you need it.

Car seat stroller or bassinet stroller
Getting a stroller is one of the most important decisions parents make when they first learn of their new addition. There are so many things to consider when it comes to picking a stroller. What is your lifestyle like? Are you the type to take your child running or hiking with you? Will the child be driven around a lot or be at home? Two popular options are a bassinet stroller and a car seat stroller.
A bassinet stroller is essentially a stroller with a detachable bassinet on top. The bassinet bed can cocoon the baby as it sleeps which may help the baby feel more comfortable and cozy as they rest. If you are a household without a lot of room or the baby is staying in the room with you, the bassinet is ideal because it doesn't take a lot of space. Another reason the bassinet stroller is great is because you don't have to wake the baby in order to put them in their stroller, you can just put the bassinet onto the stroller and go on about your day. However, if you have to take a lot of car rides with the baby, a bassinet stroller may not be ideal.
That's where the car seat stroller comes in. The car seat stroller allows you to turn your infant car seat into a stroller (like the Graco car seat stroller pictured above). This design has the same benefit of the bassinet stroller, meaning you don't have to wake your baby when you take them to the car or for a walk. Another benefit of having a car seat stroller is that the car seat can be used with the baby for a longer amount of time than the bassinet.
And some companies create other products that can be used with their car seats, like Graco (pictured above). In addition to making a stroller that works with their car seats, they also created the Graco SnugGlider. The SnugGlider allows you to turn your car seat into a swing which can be helpful when your baby needs soothing.

Cosplays of CJC13
The moment you've been waiting for after my previous coverage on the event shenanigans, figure displays and them lovely musume for the past few days.
This post will be dedicated towards the piccies of many cosplayers I've managed to shoot (with a camera XDc).
Them piccies are taken from both days so they are not arranged in any particular order. Some may contain Day 1 and some Day 2.
Not actually cosplay but I find these Phantasy Star Online 2 weapons very well made… These guys are members of the EXPFull Team on Ship 2!
If only a FOnewearl or a RAcaseal will pop up some where… :3c
Dolls of CJC13
As a follow-up to yesterday's gallery of them various figure displays in Culture Japan Convention, I've mentioned about figures owners sharing the display booth with us doll owners of musume of any genre and sizes, no?
Furthermore, the space is titled Dolls and Figures Booth… XDc Therefore, let's have a look at them lovelies gracing the event!
For stage events and commercial booths and shenanigans, please refer to the post-con report posted a couple of nights ago… :3c
While limited in numbers, dolls do take up a large portion of the display space (Usually 60 cm in height) when compared to your average scaled figures and such (Except Three-A's Metal Gear REX. That behemoth is enormous!).
Exhibits of CJC13
Continuing from the post-con report from yesterday, today let's have a look at them displays that were spread across the halls of Culture Japan Convention.
Found a gigantic fluffy tentacles curling around the ticket counter as soon as I approached the destination during Day 2.
So much d'awww-ness tho… :3c
Attractions of CJC13
Last weekend on the 17th and 18th, on my island one of the larger ACG event of the country happened.
Thanks to the
machination cooperation between Danny-san and Penang Global Tourism, many comrades and I from all over the surrounding region and even from overseas were fully enjoying ourselves in the wake of like-minded individuals and one another.
As what I always did during any past ACG events I've attended, I've paid the 6th floor of SQCC a visit the night before the actual opening day, the site where Culture Japan was held, as an early reconnaissance along with inspection to find out how I will approach the site.
Not to mention since I'm to display my Servant at one of them booths, I need to make sure the amount of items I needed to bring beforehand. :3c
Flooring the Schedule of CJC13
In exactly a week's time, one of the most anticipated ACG event on my island since Comic Fiesta Mini last weekend will finally happen!
As the time draws near, the official site is busying itself with many, many updates detailing the upcoming contents that will make their appearance in the event itself.
Detailing the CJC13
At long last, with as little as a couple of Moons away from the big day, Danny-san finally unveil the details of Culture Japan Convention, which will be the major ACG event in Penang for the first time ever!
Coming this 17th and 18th of August in collaborations with Penang Global Tourism, the Culture Japan Convention will be situated at the Straits Quay Convention Centre on my island…
Announcing the CJCon
Coming this 17th and 18th of August in collaborations with Penang Global Tourism, the Culture Japan Con will be situated at the Straits Quay Convention Centre on my island…
Here's the words of the man himself:
Revealing the Culture Japan Con
Many quarterly Moons ago (Some time after Culture Japan Noon), the Ex-Dancing Trooper teased us with a possible otaku convention on my island this coming August…
Well it seems the rumour is quite true, as yesternight the man himself kinda announced it on his tweet! :3c
Culture Japan Noon
When Danny-san announced the news some weeks earlier, it was an incredible surprise to all of us Islanders that he's going to hold a CJN on our island!
To be held in the St. Joseph's Novitiate at the Gurney Paragon, Penang, the gathering will begin at a rather odd hour: 1300 – 1800 on a Saturday (Thus Culture Japan Noon instead of Culture Japan Night… XDc)… 0_0
For the uninitiated, St. Jo's is a heritage building made anew via reconstruction, and is now a hub for community events with rotsa restaurants surrounding it…
Procurement: AFA12の勝利品
Lots, booties, treasures! What event ends without any wallet-killing? XDc
Like many AFA before it, AFA12 too drained my in-store credits to its core… orz
Ever since I've got myself the Moekana cards back during AFAMY12, I've wanted to get one of those deck holders every Card Battlers been carrying around… Luckily a certain Uncle got them in stock at discounted price at his Kopitiam in the halls!
Got a couple of them, one for the Moekana and the other for holding the meishi I've collected… XDc
The holders come with a trio of extra Moekana card too along with a lovely paper bag!
Post AFA Syndrome: Culture Japan Night
After an incredible experience of merchandise temptation, lovely daughters and mouth-dropping cosplays aside, AFA12 has officially ended…
Well at least for most of them public. Enthusiastic comrades will not let the joy die down so easily… XDc
Metamorphosis: The Cosplays of AFA12
After the report on the exhibits and the gathering of lovely daughters of AFA12, it's time to move on the next element of any ACG events: the incredible costumes of Cosplayers!
Oh wait that's not a cosplay but an itansha!
But then again taking 50 steps backwards it's technically a motorcycle cosplaying so it counts! XDc
In memories of a certain Dollfie Dream… Not! XDc
Many thanks to Yukino-chan's papa, Tama-chan was invited to one of the biggest gathering of all her kind she'd ever experienced.
Debriefing: The Exhibits of AFA12
Grander in ambition with moar hall spaces, AFA12 is no doubt the biggest event yet over the South East Asia, rivaling the like of Anime Expo of the Western countries in scale!
Once again, giants of the ACG industry along with various merchants come together to pour in their resources in making this event a success!
The Preview of AFA12
The journey to the South has begun! AFA12 here I come!
What a great start for a day light's breaker bidding me farewell as I'm heading towards my local airstrip to catch a ride upon the steel bird…
Packing up for AFA12
This weekend, I'll once again travel down South for my annual pilgrimage to the island of the Fishy Lion for AFA12!!
Tama-chan was so restless for the past few days hopping around the room in excitement while I'm busy packing up for our trip. XDc
Strategic Planning of AFA12
T-minus 10 days left until the big day, the floor plan of the exhibition hall has finally been revealed!
Time to plan your attack route, fellow comrades! XDc
The Night of Culture After AFA12
Once again, Danny Choo-san of Culture:Japan fame will organise a special after AFA gathering for like-minded comrades to interact and have fun with one another, just like how Tama-chan had fun during last year's AKB48 night and earlier mid year's Pavilion gathering… ^~^
Held in the Orchid Room of Kallang Theatre, not bad a choice for a venue this time as earlier CJNs are way too crowded at time…:3c
Guiding an Event of AFA12
The shroud on the main stage events for the upcoming AFA12 has finally been shed…
As per AFA tradition, there will once again be a seiyuu special stage this time featuring Sphere members Tomatsu Haruka, Takagaki Ayahi, Toyosaki Aki and Kotobuki Minako!
Incidentally it is the second time Toyosaki Aki and Kotobuki Minako visited an AFA event, their first being during AFA09 as K-On! casts! XDc
Cinematic Contract of AFA12
It's no surprise that the Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise has earned its special place amongst the otaku community for the past two years, spawning many by-products like figures, manga and a couple of recap movies of the TV series currently screening all over Japan.
There's also a hint that a second season is in the works after the 3rd original movie!
Being part of the featured anime in AFA12, guess what will grace the halls of the event itself?
A Gathering of Dreamy Dollfies at AFA12
For the upcoming AFA12, the gorgeous musume-tachi of various InnovaDDoushi will once again grace the exhibition halls in display to curious and enthusiastic visitors!
On last count according to the organisers, there'll be more than a hundred of confirmed attendance of them musume-tachi! 0_0
Ticketing of AFA12
A brief update on the upcoming AFA12!
Less than a Moon until the big day itself and my annual trip to the South! XDc
Moe ka na…?
Ever since the acquisition of the Moekana learning cards twin packs from AFAMY12 two moons ago, I've been pondering of a way to integrate them into my usual figure 4koma shenanigans…
Thus the rise of another 4koma sub series of Osaka! XDc
While pronounced as Moekana, the title of this new series is actually "Moe ka na…?", meaning "Is (Was) it Moe (Cute)? :3c
A blend between my usual randomness with the Moekana learning cards, Moe ka na…? will expand the standard example given by the cards with lingo used by the Otaku culture, further improve the fun of learning new Hiragana especially to the comrades and fans of Japanese anime and manga.

AMERICA/GUATEMALA - Clashes on mining. "One must avoid violence and protect the rights of communities," says a Bishop
Jalapa (Agenzia Fides) - An appeal to maintain calm and unity before the latest violence was addressed to the people by Mgr. Julio Cabrera Ovalle, Bishop of Jalapa (Guatemala). Mgr. Cabrera also recalls that the authorities have a duty and responsibility to eradicate the violence of criminal gangs in the area. The text points out, however, that the government's action in this task must be carried out "without trampling on the rights of communities and without intimidating social and religious leaders who promote peaceful demonstrations following the requirements of the law."
The Diocese of Jalapa had already expressed its concern for the measures taken against the indigenous community of Xinca of Santa Maria Xalapan, in Jalapa (Guatemala), when on 2 May the military forces occupied four villages in the south-east of Guatemala, imposing a "state of emergency" This measure was imposed by the government after clashes between police and opponents of the mining project awarded to a Canadian company, the latest in a series of conflicts on the extraction of natural resources, which erupted recently . 2 people died in the clashes and many more were injured.
President Otto Perez announced that the measure will last 30 days and is necessary to restore order and calm, while the leaders of the communities and the Catholic Church, as stated in the statement of the Diocese of Jalapa, argue that "the origin of social conflict in the area, are mining projects and little or no information on them given to the population. We are confident that if the government had listened to the demands of the people the social pressure that led to the current situation would not have developed. It seems that the interests of mining companies against the interests of the population are being protected." (CE) (Agenzia Fides 06/05/2013)

WASHINGTON (BP)--Faith and morality played major roles Nov. 2 as American voters re-elected President Bush, expanded the Republican Partys advantage in Congress and approved amendments to protect marriage in 11 states.
The close and contentious battle for the White House came to an end the morning of Nov. 3, when Democrat nominee John Kerry conceded the election in a phone call to Bush. Kerrys concession came amid some Democrats hopes they might still be able to come up with enough votes to win in Ohio, which had been the key battleground state throughout the night and early morning. Ohio, though, put Bush over the top.
By 3 p.m. Eastern time, the president had been credited with 274 electoral votes, four more than necessary, with two states -- Iowa and New Mexico -- still too close to call.
Bush address supporters, and the nation, in a mid-afternoon speech.
"I want to thank the thousands of our supporters across our country," he said. "I want to thank you for your hugs on the rope lines. I want to thank you for your prayers on the rope lines. I want to thank you for your kind words on the rope lines. I want to thank you for everything you did to make the calls and to put up the signs, to talk to your neighbors and to get out the vote. And because you did the incredible work, we are celebrating today.
"There's an old saying, 'Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks.' In four historic years, America has been given great tasks, and faced them with strength and courage. Our people have restored the vigor of this economy and shown resolve and patience in a new kind of war. Our military has brought justice to the enemy, and honor to America. Our nation has defended itself and served the freedom of all mankind. I'm proud to lead such an amazing country, and I'm proud to lead it forward."
Kerry said he called Bush earlier in the day to concede and to congratulate the president.
"We talked about the division in our country and the need, desperate need, for unity," Kerry told supporters. " Today, I hope we can begin the healing."
In the Senate, Republicans increased their majority by as many as four seats, while in the House, the GOP picked up at least two districts.
The results in the presidential and congressional races - as well as the sweep of 11 state initiatives barring same-sex marriage - provided encouragement for some pro-life and pro-family gains in the next two to four years. That appeared to be on the minds of a significant portion of this years voters.
According to nationwide exit polling by the National Election Pool, 22 percent of voters cited moral values as the most important issue in their decision on the presidential race. Of those, 79 percent chose Bush, 18 percent Kerry and 2 percent Nader. The morality issue was the top issue, surpassing the economy, 20 percent; terrorism, 19 percent; and Iraq, 15 percent.
According to that same data, 22 percent of voters were identified as white, evangelical/born-again Christians. Of those, 77 percent voted for Bush, 22 percent for Kerry and 1 percent for independent Ralph Nader.
The faith factor was the difference in this election, said Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. Even The New York Times acknowledged that the faith factor was determinative.
Not only did more than three-fourths of evangelicals vote for Bush, but a whole lot more of them voted than in 2000, Land said. [Ohio Secretary of State] Ken Blackwell estimated that 25 percent of Bushs raw vote in Ohio came from white evangelicals.
Because people of faith voted their values, their beliefs and their convictions, we have for the first time since 1988 a president who won a majority of the popular vote, Land said. Bush is the first war-time president in modern history to not only win but to increase his majority in the House and the Senate.
Former Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer called it the year of the values voter.
The upsets in the Senate and House races and the 11 marriage amendments showed that no matter where you lived, people came out to support the kind of values that founded and built this great nation, Bauer, president of American Values, said in a written statement.
For too long, liberal political pundits have been telling us that issues like marriage and life divide us as a people, Bauer said. But its clear that while those issues may be controversial, they are not divisive because people reach across such boundaries as party, economic status and ethnic group to join together to support and protect the American family.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said in a written release that it was clear values voters have ushered President George W. Bush down the aisle for a second term. What does this mean? It means that if the president stays true to his word, the next four years will be defining ones for family issues, including marriage, life and taxes.
The ERLC, as well as other evangelical organizations and churches, promoted voter registration and education in an unprecedented manner this year. The ERLC initiated the year-long iVoteValues.com campaign. Focus on the Family collaborated with the SBC entity shortly thereafter. Other evangelicals were urged to register and vote through such efforts as Redeem the Vote.
I want to take a moment to thank all the Southern Baptists and others who supported the iVoteValues campaign and who voted their values, beliefs and convictions and who encouraged others to vote their values, beliefs and convictions, Land said.
Such efforts were duplicated by many groups from a variety of ideological perspectives during the months leading to the election. The result was a massive turnout at the polls. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Bush had 58.9 million votes, the largest ever for a presidential candidate. Kerry had 55.3 million. Nader had less than 400,000.
In Congress, Republicans not only turned back Democrat efforts to regain both houses but increased their majorities.
With one race still outstanding the GOPs Senate majority had grown from 51 to 54. With GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski holding a narrow lead in Alaska, it appeared the Republicans could have a 55-member majority. If so, there would be 44 Democrats and one independent.
House Republicans were guaranteed at least a two-seat gain to 231 with three races still undecided in the 435-member chamber.
The GOP not only gained seats in the Senate, but some of those seats will be filled by stalwart pro-life and pro-family advocates, including former Rep. Tom Coburn in Oklahoma and Reps. Jim DeMint and David Vitter of South Carolina and Louisiana, respectively.
The Democrats, meanwhile, lost their leader, Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota. Former Rep. John Thune edged Daschle, who became the first party leader in the Senate to lose in more than half a century.
"Dumping Daschle -- which has been the theme of his opponents in South Dakota -- is going to have a major impact on the Senate," Carrie Gordon Earll, senior policy analyst for Focus on the Family Action, told Baptist Press. "[It will have an impact] on marriage, hopefully on human cloning. Daschle almost single-handedly blocked a vote on human cloning a couple of years."
The larger Republican majority could be a hopeful sign for a marriage protection amendment that was blocked from a vote in the Senate earlier this year, as well as the confirmation of Bushs judicial nominees. Led by Daschle, the Democrats filibustered several of the presidents appeals court nominees. With 54 or 55 Republicans in the Senate, Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee could have the votes to change the rules and prevent filibusters on judicial nominees, Land said.
Voters overwhelmingly passed amendments protecting marriage as the union of a man and a woman in all of the 11 states where they were on the ballot.
The pro-life cause suffered a major defeat in California, however. That states voters approved an initiative that legalizes destructive embryonic stem cell research and permits research cloning (also called therapeutic cloning). The research will be funded with up to $3 billion in state bonds over 10 years.

Apologies for the lack of preview today. Real jobs are taking their toll in a big way. Nevertheless, we did have an opportunity to reach out to John at Fear The Sword to talk about the state of the Raps opponents tonight - the Cleveland Cavaliers.
HQ: The Cavs were quite active at the deadline. What's your opinion on the moves and do you think Jamison was the way to go (as opposed to say A'mare or Murphy)?
FTS: Jamison was really the guy they were after. Danny Ferry has wanted Jamison for a couple of years now and if you had told him in November that he would be able to get Jamison for nothing more than Z he would have been ecstatic. Sure, Ferry was wise to investigate the Stoudamire deal but it was completely different. Stoudamire would have been about the future. The Cavaliers were looking to give up little to get a lot should the Suns want to cut-bait with Amar'e. Antawn is about the now.
As for Troy Murphy, he would have been a last-ditch option, but I have a feeling the Cavaliers simply would have kept the team tey had could they not acquire Jamison.
HQ: Talk about the Lebron situation and the upcoming summer. What does you gut tell you about what lies ahead? How much do you think the Cavs success this spring will factor into his decision?
FTS: Here's the deal with LeBron. I think he gets a bad rap for the pull he has in the organization. I don't think LeBron James goes to management demanding this player or that player. He was obviously affected by the Z trade and while he understands the Cavaliers are likely better for it, his fierce loyalty to his teammates runs deep. It is that loyalty which leads me to believe that LeBron will resign with the Cavaliers. He will flirt with New York, or Miami or whoever else wants to call, but in the end, his best chance to win is in Cleveland.
Now, should LeBron decide to leave, as a Cavaliers fan, I will be able to sleep at night because I firmly believe the Cavaliers have done all they can do to make him happy. From Dan Gilbert on down, the Cavaliers are a top-notch organization. They have a state-of-the-art practice facility. Dan Gilbert chartered a jet to fly family, friends and staff to the All-Star Game. The Q is a top-notch facility. The Cavaliers have a deal with Chinese businessmen for distribution in China. If LeBron leaves it will be because it is LeBron's dream to play in New York or LA or where-ever.
LeBron will do and say all the right things, but in the end, his loyalty to his teammates, and the chance to win in Cleveland, will keep him here for another 3 years.
HQ: What are the keys to the game for the Cavs to get a win against the Raps?
FTS: To do exactly what they did in the 3rd and 4th quarter against Boston. Speed up the pace, contest shots and run. Shaq's injury may actually be a blessing in disguise. The Cavs will be forced to play small and up the tempo quite a bit. They are the deepest team in the NBA and now will be a chance to prove it.
The one thing the Cavaliers have to do is defend the perimeter. Toronto can get hot outside if you let them and it will be important that the Cavaliers not allow Toronto to get comfortable from the outside. It should be another good game between these two teams.
Thanks John!

"You might want to pull your collar over that." I looked at my teacher. This highly respected doctor and very religious man whom I considered a friend was referring to the red birthmark on my neck. I knew he was a very smart man who'd been through medical school and had his own bout with cancer, but I also knew what he thought - I was an outgoing eighth-grade girl.
"It's a birthmark," I said defiantly, shocked by his assumption.
"Sure," he retorted, with a touch of disbelief and sarcasm.
"It is," I persisted. I turned away, perplexed by his insensitivity. I wanted to say, "Hey, you can't make an assumption like that!" The rest of the day, my brain stumbled over his negative reaction. Was my opinion of him wrong? Whenever I see him now, I remember his penetrating comment and I cannot think of him with the same respect.
"Did you get hit with a golf ball?" asked the maid in the lobby. My cousins stared. My face burned.
"A what?" I asked.
"That's what I call that thing on your neck," she replied. "Whenever someone has a hickey, I just disguise the word with 'golf ball hit.'" She laughed. I was appalled. My cousins giggled.
"It's a birthmark," I retorted, not hesitating to add annoyance to my voice.
The maid laughed as I made a quick exit. I was humiliated and took a minute to regain my breath. Her question shocked me. She had been so forward, so quick to ask a personal question. It grieved me to know the first thing she noticed about me was the red, freckled mark on my neck.
When I was little, I told a different story: "It's a tarantula bite," I said happily after being asked about my birthmark. I had talked about it with my dad, telling him I was tired of having to explain.
"So," he said, "why don't you make something up? You don't have to tell them it's a birthmark." I had just learned about tarantulas and knew that they were very dangerous. So when people asked, I would go into a long tale of a family vacation to Texas. I was sitting in a tree, and a tarantula landed on my shoulder and bit me on the neck. I was rushed to the hospital, where, luckily, the doctors were able to save my life. For a long time, my pretend story gave me satisfaction, but as I grew older, I realized how unrealistic it was.
Now, people often assume the worst. "What have you been up to? Is that a hickey?" are just a few of the questions. I have always been bothered by people's ability to notice others' faults and flaws, often wishing that my birthmark would disappear.
The doctor told my mother that the birthmark would go away by the time I was two. "It's still there," I often reminded my mom. "Nothing I can do," she would answer. There's nothing I can do, either. I have learned to accept my birthmark and try not to let what other people think control my thoughts and viewpoint of myself.

A Pasco school bus with no students on board was involved in an accident in Spring Hill this morning.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers say Christine Hughes, 46, was behind the wheel of a Toyota that swerved into the path of a school bus on Softwind Lane South around 8:35 AM. The bus driver swerved and drove onto the shoulder to try and avoid the car, but the two vehicles collided.
Hughes and her 13-year-old daughter were taken to Bayonet Point Hospital with minor injuries. The school bus driver, Lisa Butterfield, 47, was not hurt.
No students were on board at the time of the crash.

The Daily Fix: Replace a Broken Tile
Feb 21st 2010 11:03AM I don't know where this author got their info on tile repair, but if someone did things the way they said they could open a huge can of worms. Before attempting a tile repair all the grout needs to be removed otherwise the force of breaking out the tile can transfer into adjacent tiles and chip them. Also in most situations the thinset behind the tiles may not be scrapeable. It would need to be chisled out. Also, the author suggests using adhesive. I suggest finding out what your tile is set over, what kind of tile it is, and where it is being used and then talk to a professional to see if adhesive is okay or if you need to use thinset, which is impervious to water. Also, if you wait for grout to get tacky, which it never will, it will have set up so hard that you may not be able to get it off the tile. Also instead of using various grouts on a sample, why don't we suggest that the homeowner get a paper grout sample page and match it up next to their grout to find the best match. The author shouldn't put themselves out there as a tile expert in order to sell things. He or she may be totally screwing over some unwary homeowners.

After a dramatic hour long hearing with new revelations in the case, a Williamson County judge Thursday lowered the $2.5 million bond to $750,000 for the Brentwood man accused of killing his orthodontist wife.
Judge Al Nations also found probable cause to turn the case of Randolph "Randy" Maidens over to the Williamson County Grand Jury.
It was the first time police investigators had testified about what happened on the Sunday evening of April 21 when they found the body of Dr. Rachael Maidens at the exclusive Governors Club home she shared with her husband.
Brentwood police officer Austin Kern was the first investigator called by local district attorney Kim Helper, who is directly prosecuting the high-profile murder case.
While on the stand, Kern said upon entering through an unlocked door in the garage, "We repeatedly announced ourselves as Brentwood PD and hollered for Rachael and Randolph."
Police had previously said that Dr. Maidens family had asked for officers to go by the couple's home to make what had been termed "a welfare check" on the 34-year-old orthodontist.
Officer Kern went on to testify that he heard a child respond, saying "I am here" multiple times.Randolph and Rachel's two-year-old daughter, Natalie, was quickly found in a crib. Kern testified the young child told them, "Daddy gone" several times.
He indicated he and other officers arriving at the time could not find Randy Maidens in the home.
After the two-year-old was safely given to another officer, Kern said he noticed something on the first floor of the home.
"That's when I observed blood splattered on the wall and a shotgun on the couch, and I saw what appeared to be a body in a blanket," he told the court.
A second witness, Brentwood Police Lieutenant John Wood, then testified that the "deceased female in the blanket" had "multiple gunshot wounds."
Upon further questioning by DA Helper, Lt. Wood found what he called "an apology note" inside the couple's kitchen "expressing regret."
The investigator said the note "indicated Mr. Maidens may be responsible" for his wife's death and their daughter Natalie should go to the care of Dr. Maiden's mother.
Lt. Wood also told the court $87,200 was found in Randy Maidens car, but he revealed that several much lesser amounts of cash were found around the couple's home when questioned by defense attorney David Raybin.
The lieutenant also testified to a prior threat made by Randy against his wife while at a conference in Orlando, Florida.
Lt. Wood said witnesses at an Orlando hotel told him Maidens was "disorderly, intoxicated and attempted to pick a fight with several other patrons there" who did not know him.
The Brentwood officer cited three witnesses at the hotel who said Maidens told them "he just wanted to kill his wife."
The court appearance served as both a preliminary examination to see if there was enough evidence to bound the case over to a grand jury and a hearing for a defense request to reduce Maiden's bond.
While DA Helper argued to keep the bond at $2.5 million because she termed Maidens a "flight risk," defense attorney Raybin countered that Maiden never took his passport out of the couple home.
Maiden's sister, Linda Desmond of Roswell, Georgia, testified briefly about her brothers work history and education.
She was at the hearing with a woman who identified herself to Nashville's News 2 as Randy Maiden's mother.
While lowering the bond to $750,000, Judge Nations attached numerous restrictions to it such as surrendering the passport, no flying and no contact with Rachael's family.
Arraignment on the case is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on June 24.
Randolph surrendered into police custody on the grounds of the Governors Club April 22 after authorities searched the community for nearly 12 hours.

A student from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC) has bowled her way in to a prestigious cricketing academy in her first year at university.
Stephanie Davies, 20, has joined the Cardiff/Glamorgan MCCU (Marylebone Cricket Club University), one of six University Cricketing Centres of Excellence across the UK.
Already a successful cricketer, Stephanie has debuted for the England Women's cricket team against Australia as well as winning the Premier League South Title with Bath Cricket Club.
The Cardiff/Glamorgan MCCU enables cricketers with promise to further their careers in the sport while also developing their education.
As a member of the centre, Stephanie will be able to choose from a wide range of courses and at the same time have access to high quality cricket facilities. The MCCU scheme has already produced some top cricketing names like Monty Panesar, Jamie Dalrymple and James Foster.
Graham Haines, Cardiff/Glamorgan MCCU Cricket Manager, said: "We are delighted that Stephanie has joined the MCCU programme, she is a cricketer who shows great promise and had already achieved on the international stage.
"Women's cricket is a developing area, and in developing women like Stephanie through the Cardiff/Glamorgan MCCU programme, the eventual aim is to mirror the success of men's cricket, both at County and International standard."

How We Left Africa
Someplace in Africa—probably in East Africa near the Rift Valley—modern humans evolved about 200,000 years ago. The population rose and fell, and for one reason or another—perhaps climate changes, perhaps population pressure, perhaps wanderlust—small subsets of the people left to go elsewhere, creating their own groups—or rather our own groups, for these are, after all, our ancestors. Those groups spread in the same way, small subsets of the original groups leaving for greener pastures, sometimes returning and rejoining, sometimes leaving again. Africa has a huge range of environments—deserts, coastal regions, pampas, rivers, lakes, and mountains, and it is certain that some of these required human adaptations—behavioral, cultural and physical—to the demands of the various climates.
Eventually, we left Africa, somewhere between 50,000—100,000 years ago. Tishkoff and colleagues believe that the main exit path way was out of east Africa, in the Red Sea area.

Since this is my off week for grocery shopping, it's time for using up whatever is in the fridge, freezer, & pantry. This recipe from Don't Forget Delicious popped up in my Google Reader and I just happened to have everything on hand. Enjoy!
Polynesian Style Meatballs
1 pound ground pork
1 large egg
3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds, ground (or mustard powder)
8 ounces pineapple chunks in juice
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup chopped onion (I used a whole onion)
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Preheat oven to 350. Cover a baking sheet with foil and lightly spritz with cooking spray.
Combine pork with next 6 ingredients (egg through mustard) in a bowl and mix well. Using a disher or your hands, roll into balls, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, or your desired size.
Brown meatballs in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned on all sides. Move meatballs to baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they are cooked through (center should be 165 degrees – residual heat will continue to cook them to 170).
While meatballs are baking, In same pan you used for the meat, heat pineapple with juice, bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat until just boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, water, brown sugar and cornstarch and mix well. Add to pineapple mixture and stir to combine. Boil and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
Add meatballs back into pan and toss to coat. Serve over hot rice.

Another blast of arctic air is moving in, as many Middle Tennesseans continue to recover from the last one.Countless homes and businesses suffered damage from burst pipes when below freezing temperatures settled into the Mid-State for several days earlier this month.With temperatures expected to take another tumble, water customers are being urged to protect their pipes again.News 2 has gathered the most common tips to help get you through sub-freezing winter weather.Let faucets drip and leave open cabinet doors. A light, steady stream of water may show up on your monthly service bill, but the cost is small compared to any damage done by frozen or burst pipes. Opening cabinet doors will allow warm air to circulate around the plumbing.Locate the water cut-off valve at your home. If pipes burst, the water should be cut-off immediately to prevent further damage.Wrap exposed pipes by using insulated materials under sinks, in crawl spaces, near windows or any other space where the cold might have access.Cover outside vents to keep winter winds out and warm air in.While you're outside, take a few minutes to unhook any water hoses connected to the home or building, and cover the spigot to prevent water line freeze up. An inexpensive and easy-to-install Styrofoam cover should do the trick.If you notice frozen water on plumbing, do not use an open flame to thaw the pipes. Not only do you risk starting a fire, but the flame can create steam, which creates pressure, which can bust pipes. Instead, use a hair dryer or hot towels.Freezing temperatures and frozen pipes don't always lead to broken plumbing. Water freezes at 32 degrees, but experts say your pipes usually burst when temperatures drop into the teens and twenties.Structures in southern climates are often seen as more vulnerable to weather-related plumbing problems because pipes are more likely to be located in unprotected areas outside of home or building insulation.
