It was a crucifix that caught my daughter's eye during ArtPrize this year.
There's no shortage of crucifixes to be found at the annual art competition. From the 2011 popular vote winner, depicting a bored looking, white American Jesus backlit by a Kinkade-esque sunset, to one of this year's installations, "The Moment, Endured," a more severe portrayal made entirely from nails.
"The Moment" was actually one of two crucifixes displayed at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, one of the venues for ArtPrize. But it was the other one, a piece called "Love Does Not Harm," that made my 4-year-old ask me to stop the car as we were driving by a couple Saturdays ago.
We circled the block a few times until we found a place to park. The sky couldn't make up its mind between "partly sunny" and "vaguely apocalyptic," so I put her in a stroller and we made a run for it.
"Love Does Not Harm" is the work of a local designer named Timothy Gabriel. His crucifix doesn't exactly play on subtlety. If Mia Tavonatti's "Crucifixion" pandered to a deeply religious West Michigan audience, "Love Does Not Harm" poked it with a stick.
The silhouetted figure is made up of anti-gay slogans. It hangs from a cross comprised of similarly ugly rhetoric. In place of the traditional "INRI," the sign at the top features the logos of Christian organizations that oppose same-sex marriage. The entire scene is draped against a rainbow banner declaring that "Love does not harm."
The piece drew attention for the political statement it made (and because it was vandalized during ArtPrize). But I wish we'd pay more attention to the scripture Gabriel chose. Whether he realized it or not, Romans 13:8-10 is one of the seminal texts of the New Testament.
"Love does no harm to a neighbor," Paul writes. Every other law there is—don't murder, don't steal, etc.—is summed up in this one command: love others. Do not harm.
Paul is not breaking new ground here. He's echoing one of the most pivotal teachings of the gospels, in which Jesus declared that "love God" and "love your neighbor" are the two greatest commands in the Bible—and that they are two sides of the same coin. The way you demonstrate love for God is by loving your neighbor. You cannot do one without the other.
Would anyone like to argue that we've kept this law with respect to our gay and lesbian neighbors? Have we ever been good at "doing no harm" to those who are noticeably different from us?
Even the Vatican is beginning to wrestle with these questions, acknowledging this week that gays and lesbians "have gifts and qualities to offer the Christian community" and suggesting we should be capable of "accepting and welcoming their sexual orientation." (Though they backtracked a bit under the weight of a conservative backlash.)
Gabriel's piece did not major on subtlety or nuance. But it challenges us to consider one of the more central teachings of the New Testament and its potentially jarring implications for today. Regardless of how we may think about sexuality or marriage, it is something that should make us pause.
Of course, I didn't get into all this with my daughter. She is only four, after all. She's too young to read the words that made up the silhouetted figure. But she knows a picture of Jesus on the cross when she sees it, even an abstract one. Her eyes were also drawn to the colorful words behind the crucifix, so I told her what they said.
We talked about "love does no harm" and what this means. We talked about how we should accept and embrace others, no matter how similar or different they are. I told her this is part of what it means to love others the way Jesus loved us.
And then we went home and had lunch.
A week later, we made one more visit to ArtPrize.
As we were driving, out of the blue my daughter asked if we could see Gabriel's piece again. "The one that says, 'Love does not harm,' " she explained. Then she told me what it means—how we should accept others, no matter how similar or different they are. She remembered our week-old conversation almost perfectly.
Artistically, it may not have been the greatest piece at ArtPrize this year. It may have struck some as a bit heavy-handed in its message. And of course, many will find it divisive. But its core idea, "love does not harm," shouldn't be controversial. More to the point, Gabriel's piece helped my daughter grasp something central to the Christian faith—how we are called to love as Jesus loved.
If you read the title of this post, then you know the not-so-surprise ending: Timothy Gabriel is an atheist. In his official ArtPrize bio, he refers to himself as a proponent of secularism. And I am eternally grateful to him for teaching my daughter something important about Christianity.
When we stop viewing those who are different from us—whether it's in their orientation or their beliefs—as enemies, we might just find they have something to teach us.
What have you learned about your faith from surprising sources?

'Surprise!' But not for long, right? With Rob's party gate-crashed and the sly advance buzz-clouds cleared, does JJ Abrams' Dogmezilla still stand up? We think so. Come to it raw if you were too hyped-out to catch its cine-run and it'll eat you up, the panic-attack plot packing judders aplenty. The initial landmark-lobbing shock was 'spoiled' as early as the first teaser, but Abrams' and director Matt Reeves' smart camcorder aesthetic plays tight, hurling you hard into the rush'n'rubble of a monster-trashed New York via four hipsters on a rescue trip. Cuts work like jolts, Spielbergian "ooohs" and "aaahs" surrender to running and screaming, scary-hairy night vision reveals the monster's dog-sized foot-soldiers for... let's just say, "Something else. Also terrible."
Substance-wise, Cloverfield's sole, minor flaw is implied on Reeves' effusive DVD talk-track. He's hotter on technique, rat-wrangling and the clammy power of subterranean "David Lynch drone" than subtext: meaning, it's hard to buy Rob's hunt for squandered-love Beth as a "metaphor for priorities" when some "horrific shit" (read: damn exciting) is rocking your world. But in terms of re-scaling monster movies, Abrams and Reeves land a quick, bruising hit. Rather than trying to haul cinema away from download culture with the razzle-dazzle of 3D or IMAX, Cloverfield sucker-punches home viewing at its own game. Here, the new-school blurry-vision of YouTube merges with spectacle cinema, via the old-school lessons of Alien: seeing something in full isn't as thrilling as glimpsing it in a dread-cam dash of storm's-eye intensity.
Buzzing palpably over that crack core conceit, the DVD extras are copious. Everyone chinny-wags like frothy kids, from Abrams with his power-sums ("Take genre, add monster, equals my favourite movie of all time") to star Michael Stahl-David "jumping rope" between takes to keep himself in the film's "space". Between full-blooded homage and fresh cine-flesh, Cloverfield stays on its toes throughout, too. See it. It's alive.

Visually Speaking: A Worldview from Guyana
Program Locations:
Many contemporary depictions of Guyana and its people—whether via the image or the written word—continue to center on the exotic, the colonial, and the touristic. Award-winning photographers Nikki Kahn and Keisha Scarville will share their artistic visions and portfolios and explore their ongoing work to tell Guyana's stories and to counter historic and contemporary stereotypes about the former British colony and its wide-reaching Diaspora.
Visually speaking is a photographic conversation series focused on highlighting the works and life experiences of photographers and industry insiders through their distinct visual lens and insight. Moderated by Grace Anieza Ali, founder, Of Note Magazine, and curated by Terrence Jennings.

10 week MW appt,U/S,spotting,cramping
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 10-02-2012 - 10:33pm
Hi ladies! I had my 10 weeks appt with my MW today. They did the normal pee in the cup, weighed me and Ive lost 3 lbs since my last appt 2 weeks ago and my BP was perfect at 124/68 and gave me the order for all the normal blood work. I had been having really bad cramps and spotting for 3 days and so the MW decided to do a pelvic exam and physical. She seen that I was bleeding from my cervix so she tried to hear the heartbeat with the doppler and she couldnt find it so she sent me down to get and U/S and right away we seen him wiggling all over the place and his heart flickering away! His heartbeat was 174 and he's measuring a week ahead of date! So we were so relieved! I go back in 4 weeks and so begins this wonderful journey... again... ;-p lol Here is a pic of our gummy bear....

As Mr. Lee told on Titchmarsh, he finished shooting in Hungary with Nicholas Cage in January/February. This is waht I found about the film: Nicolas Cage to reunite with Dominic Sena for Season of the Witch Wooonderful conecpt in my opinion. No informations yet on Mr. Lee´s role.
Re: Seacon of the Witch
Great news! "Season of the Witch" already has a US distributor (LionsGate) and is reportedly scheduled for a release in the first quarter of 2010.
From all of Mr. Lee's recent projects this is the most "Hollywood"-like since "The Golden Compass" I'd say. Nicolas Cage is a very popular leading man in modern action cinema, so chances for a commercial success are very good.
I'm sure a full casting anouncement will be released soon. But if I am allowed to speculate: Mr. Lee could be playing a priest or monk, maybe someone who sends Cage's character on his mission.
Re: Seacon of the Witch
oh this is sooooo great! just watched that interview yesterday on youtube and wondered what movie it was. this sounds like a really good one and of course, it couldn't be anything but good with mr. lee in it... the rest are good too... but hey, I'm a CL fan!
Re: Seacon of the Witch
This sounds very interesting. The first I knew about it, was hearing Mr Lee speaking of it on the clip of Alan Titchmarsh. I think Nicholas Cage is a fine actor, when he's given the chance.
I agree with you, Steve. Cage is a good actor; a lot of which is tied (as with a lot of actors) to the storyline and how good a character fit it is......
Should be interesting to see how this one goes.......
Re: Seacon of the Witch
Lionsgate has announced that it will release "Season of the Witch" in the US on March 19th 2010, only two weeks after "Alice in Wonderland". March 2010 will be a "Christopher Lee month" in the United States
Let's hope that in 2009 we'll have a couple more releases. I think it's very likely that "Triage" and "Glorious 39" will have a premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Both films are still expected to have a general release in the fall of 2009 in Europe and the US.
Re: Seacon of the Witch
Hey everyone! I may have found some information on Sir Christopher's role in this film. A poster on IMDB has claimed to have seen a preview screening of the film and gave us a few details on it:
"i went to a special screening of this movie and overall it wasnt that good it could have been much better but ron perlman and nicolas cage were descent in it"
"it felt like they just rushed into the movie without giving it time to introduce the characters for instance in the beginning of the film it shows ron perlman and nicolas cage getting shipwrecked near the castle and than about 5 minutes later they are captured by the kings guards for trespassing into the city and than the king who was affected by the plague tells them to take the girl to the monks so she can be given a fair trial"
The poster didn't seem to like the film at all, but someone asked him which role Sir Christopher played and he responded:
"in the movie he plays the king who gets infected by the plague he is only in the movie for 10 minutes"
I suppose we have to take this with a grain of salt, as the poster who wrote this has no solid proof, but I'd like to trust him. It sounds like a role Sir Christopher would play.
Re: Seacon of the Witch
The teaser trailer for "Season of the Witch" has been released. Don't get too excited: it's very short and doesn't really show what the movie is about. Not a very good trailer in my opinion. And there's no scene with Sir Christopher in it.
You can find it here:
Season of the Witch Trailer : Empire Movies
And the official website (not much on it as of today):
Re: Seacon of the Witch
Wow. Thanks for the trailer! Looks scary! Kind of excited to see Sir Christopher in another SCARY horror film. It's been awhile (Sleepy Hollow, I think?)
Also, according to this article, it seems the poster on IMBD might have been mistaken about his occupation in the film...or just made up a lie.
As announced in this article, Sir Christopher's character in the film is named Cardinal D'Ambroise.
Season of the Witch trailer with Nicolas Cage doesn't look too shabby.
After the teaser trailer,
If I'm being honest, I don't
Thanks for the trailer Steve.

Re: Seacon of the Witch
Hey all!
So I have some good news and some bad news-
This movie finally seems to be finished! An official release has been set for January 7th, 2011. A final poster and trailer have been released too!
However, this leads me to the bad news.........
While Sir Christopher is billed on the new poster and he PHYSICALLY appears in the trailer, his lines definitely sound like he was dubbed by another actor! I am hoping he isn't dubbed in the film. I LOVE his voice and will be incredibly upset if someone else is performing his dialogue That is another actor, yes? (Hope I'm not hearing things)
Re: Season of the Witch
wow, that isn't his voice. but in other trailers you can hear that is certainly Sir Christopher's wonderful voice. (even if he does look rather icky) the second trailer that I watched had the correct release date on it, so it makes me wonder just what the hell are they doing? His voice was so perfect in the second trailer compaired to the first one that you posted here, the dubbed voice sounded american and artificial. I'm with you, we definately want Sir Christopher's TOTAL performance in this movie.
Re: Season of the Witch
I hope it's only in the trailer. Maybe the studio wanted the lines in the trailer to be understood better and the original voice of the sick cardinal sounded distorted, which makes perfectly sense since the man's mouth is disfigured. They will make a big mistake if they leave the new voice in the film. Every film critic and most of the audience will notice it immediately.
I also noticed the "new" footage from the re-shoots which I think are all the bad looking battle scenes from the crusades. They are easily identified as Bluescreen scenes. Terrible, in my opinion.
To end on a positive note: when the project was first talked about, the original script was very well received. So despite the delays and reshoots, it may still be a good film.

Old-School Brewing in Brussels
There is an inherent irony today when we talk about Belgian beer.

What… what…. what is this? Since when is there a GODDESS in Fairy Tail? No.
Age: 17-19 [Seventeen - Nineteen, since she was stuck in the fairy sphere with the others, so she did not age]
Birthday: 11th Midsummer
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Of freaking course, she somehow jumped on the bandwagon and went to Tenroujima. Woo hoo lets just bring everyone to the S class test, cause you know only a few weren't chosen or anything.
No, of course it totally makes sense that everyone and their mothers was allowed to go. Like, seriously guys, my grandma went. Really, though… she wasn't there… just stop… stop.
Hair Colour/Style: Black, long cascading down her back, same length and cut as Lucy's but an inch longer.
Eye Colour: Golden
Skin Colour/Tone: Pale/Tan
Body type/Build: Slender, with curves in the right places. Her breast size is around D size or DD.
Height: 5'7" or 5'8"
Weight: 47kg (103 lbs)
How, just how the heck are you pale AND tan? That makes absolutely no sense at all! 5'7 or 5'8 and only 103 pounds?! DOES SHE NOT EAT! Just … no…. just just ….. no. Her boobs are double D?! How the hell does she not break her back with how little weight she has! Is like half the weight her tits?!
See… I'm picturing, like… tan on one side, pale on the other, or stripes… as for her weight… just… did she take out her internal organs?
Lydia is well very random. Meaning she can be one mood then the next another. It depends on who she hangs with that determines what she is like and what she does. But other then that she is, Kind and caring, friendly to new people, though she can be shy at times. Cheeky when she opens up to people, supportive to friends and guild mates, clueless to the advances of man trying to 'woo' her, mostly because she would have no idea on what they are trying to do, unless they actually used words and told her that they like her in 'that' way. Lydia will speak her mind a lot, and sometimes she does speak without thinking.
Shy but speaks her mind? Perfect sense making right there. Her personality contradicts itself quite a bit in the first paragraph. Can't freaking wait to see the rest. Not.
One mood to the next. Great, another bipolar character, just what we all want.
Besides from that, she is intelligent, she knows what is right and what is wrong. Though sometimes she does the wrong thing, when she really shouldn't. Protective of her friends and guild mates, she won't let anyone hurt them. She does have a Temper on her, so if you get on her bad side, watch out since she can get scary like Ezra. Get's really embarrassed when guys hit on her and she knows what they are trying to do, she will go red in the face and go all silent not being able to speak. If the mood is right she can joke about with people, and is some-what pervy, since most the time if she sees one of the guys whom she likes she sometimes does get perverted thoughts.
How the bloody hell do you get "Some-what pervy" when you get REALLY embarrassed when a guy HITS ON YOU! First shes shy, has mood swings now she has a temper and of course will "protect her friends no matter what". Stick. To. One. Thing.
Scary like Erza? Yet shy… that doesn't work. It will never work. Her personality has so many loop holes it could be a roller coaster. If she's pervy, she shouldn't get all red in the face and unable to speak, she should be able to flirt back with even more vigor— you're trying to mix personality types that are on two ends of a spectrum, and it just does. Not. Work.
Lydia can be childish at times, with the pouting and giving cute teary eyes, when she doesn't get her own way. Is innocent, to the point that is a guy tries to suggest anything that seems 'wrong' in Lydia's eyes she would get overly embarrassed and run off.
Lydia is not a morning person, she won't speak to anyone until she has had a nice warm shower and a cup of Coffee, then after she is done, she will be all fine to speak with, DO NOT Try to speak to her during that time of her waking up, You have been warned!
Besides from that, she does some things what others consider 'inappropriate' since sometimes, when she wakes up, she forgets to put a robe on, and forgets others are there. So she can be seen walking about in her underwear or a see through nighty at most times.
But despite of all that, Lydia is random in her moods and Personality. You never know what she will do or how she will react. Just don't try to wake her up or talk to her when she has woken up.
The girl, who gets embarrassed by a man FLIRTING WITH HER will walk around in her underwear in front of people? What kind of bull pucky is this? She just said in the sentence above that if someone SUGGESTS something wrong she will run off? What? WHAT? At least there's one thing right there that she is random in her moods. I would put it more like she has a multiple personality order though.
So… so wait, if someone mentions something she finds inappropriate… she runs away, but it's a-okay for her to run around wearing absolutely nothing without her giving a damn? I'm about to get into a kerfuffle over this—- just, WHAT?!
Clothing Style
Normal Wear: Long Sleeveless jacket, Black, with gold trimmings. Black Strapless Bra[Boob tube],
Boob tube? Really could you simply have not made it a little less slutty and call it a tube top? Seriously, you are not helping your case here one bit.
Short Black Skirt could be counted as a mini skirt.
If it can be counted as a mini skirt, Its a mini skirt.
I'd like to see how someone does a non-mini mini skirt.
Black knee length boots, sometimes can be just plain black boots. Sometimes wear a tank top over the boob tube. Can be seen wearing a Scarf [Most likely she took Natsu's Scarf and wore it]
Or she can be seen wearing more often this outfit: -put in later-
Sometimes can be wearing a Kimono, which white with purple flower patterns on it.
Natsu would not let you touch his scarf let alone wear it! Man, put in later sounds like a great outfit can't wait to wear that put in later. Okay, she goes from super slutty to, I-am-so-kawaii-wearing-my-kimono.
"Put in later" makes me think of the Emperor's New Clothes. I'm now picturing this OC as a nudist. Burn my brain, please. So, she's a shy slut who has sudden mood swings and is suddenly super kawaii-desu-ne. Fuck this.
Night Wear: Sometimes just sleeps in her underwear, but mostly sleeps in a long baggy shirt.
Winter Wear: Long Black and white fur cloak, which covers a Dark purple long sleeved shirt, Dark blue Jeans, Black leather boots. Can sometimes be seen wearing a mink hat, and gloves. Or seen without her cloak on. Can also be wearing a Scarf.
Formal Wear: Long Sleek dress, with a 'V' line at the front which shows her curves to advantage. Black High Heels, but not the real high ones. Hair up in a twist.
Other: Wears different coloured Bikini's whenever she can. Blue, Black, Purple, Pink, Green, Gold, Black with gold trimming, Black and White.
Finally something normal.
Thank. God.
Personal Information
Likes: Natsu, Jellal, Zeref, Sweets, cooking, Prei, Fairy Tail, Sting, Rogue. Strawberry Sundae.
Oh great, I see a great big huge love octagon in the future. How do you even come to know Zeref AND Jellal?
Zeref… ZEREF? No. This just does not compute.
Dislikes: Bossy People[That aren't her], Dark Guilds, people who use rank to gain things for themselves. And Prei when he is being pervy. And Other things.
Favourite Foods: Strawberry Sundae, Chicken, Cookies, Pizza.
Favourite Drinks: Coke Cola, Coffee, Sake. Orange Juice.
You are very much a conceded little one aren't you? Does she mean Coca cola? Really? Where the hell are you going to get a coca cola in that time era. Just hold on a second while I walk into my everyday 7/11 and grab myself a bottle of coke guys.
I can't even.
Social Information/Personal Status
Status: Alive
Counterpart: Lydia Drache
Relationship Status: Single
Best Friends: Natsu, Lucy, Ezra, Prei, Happy, Wendy. Anyone in her Guild or in Fairy Tail [If you would like your OC to be friends with my OC Note me. :3 ]
Rivals:…None yet
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: No One yet.
I'll keep my OC to myself she does not need to know you. Her head might explode if she meets you.
Does she have to be alive?
Love Interests
Hold onto your hats this girl has a lot.
She had a crush on him, but now sees him as a Brother like figure. She has turned into wanting to see Natsu with Lucy
You actually like a canon pairing? Why is he still in love interests then?
Jellal "Mystogan"
She met him randomly one time, since his sleep magic didn't work on her, so after that she hanged with him and things happened. She adores him.
Jellal and Mystogan are not the same person a herp a derp. If his sleep magic didn't work on her once you think she would have realized that. Things happened? What the heck do you mean things happened? Did they fly off into never land on fluffy unicorns?
She already adores him..? How long did "things happen" for? Goddamn what went down between them?! Erza can't even resist his sleep magic, even Makarov has some issue with it, so why doesn't it affect her?
From hearing stories about him, and seeing him once. Though she doesn't let anyone know that, since this interest is a Secret.
I HEARD ABOUT YOU AND NOW I AM IN LOVE! That. is. not. how. love. works. How did you even meet him once? He avoids contact with people!
No. You cannot pair with Zeref, it does not work. His magic spontaneously kills everything within a certain perimeter. And she hasn't even met him! Where the hell did she see him? All the stories about him are negative! Everyone is scared of him! What type of stories did she hear?!
Well, she liked him when she first laid eyes on him. Even though he came off as a complete jerk to her, she seems to be attracted to the 'bad boy' type or something near there. Has a Love-hate relationship with him
Liked him, but since she likes Sting more, only thinks of Rogue as a friend.
Love at first site bull crap. Keep hating her Sting, just keep hating her!
More instant love? Oh, and she friend-zoned Rogue, that lucky dog!
Well, this was love at first sight. Even though he annoys the crap out of her with all his 'charming' talks. He has Charmed her a tad, that she is Open minded about him and counts him as a friend. She has no idea Zylous is in fact Prei's true form.
Quincy Parker
She is begining to get a small crush on him, but wants to get to know him more.
Hold on just a second here. She had so many love at first sites, what is she a love struck puppy? Wait Prei? I am pretty sure in one of her other descriptions that Prei is the little dragon she is holding. I.Can't. Even.Comprehend. This.
Great, more love at first sight… but yet he's only charmed her a tad? And wait, he's the true form of her little dragon…
- Pollux and Castor
tan and pale huh… ZETSU SKIN
Okay, I'm confused: does "pervy" with a *good* connotation mean something different in Canada? Cause, let me tell you,...

MCupdate crash when updating Media Center
Hi. I have had this problem for as long as I can remember. When MCupdate runs either from the Task Scheduler or if I manually update Media Center , I get "Media Center Store update manager has stopped working". I've tried deleting the database and turned off Media Center and back on again from "Turn Windows Features On and Off" in Control Panel to no avail. Actually if I do a manual update I get the download was successful message but if I look in the Event Viewer it still shows the MCupdate crash. I've stopped the task from running in the Task Scheduler. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium. I've searched extensively for a solution but haven't found one. Reinstalling Windows is not an option as the computer works perfectly except for this one problem. Any insight to this problem would be much appreciated.

There is too much time spent telling people why having eating disorders are wrong and no one ever takes the time to look inside the mind of a particular person with an eating disorder to figure out why it is right to them. People who have eating disorders are just grouped together like cattle, one reason being the same for everyone.
I read so many articles condemning eating disorders and criticizing those who have time. They spend time reprimanding and forcing people into remission, instead of figuring out the root of the matter and repairing there.
If you want to help someone going through an eating disorder, just be there for them. Listen without judging, be an open ear whenever needed, listen without harshly giving answers or your own opinions.
People who are going through these things know the effects and risks. They don't need to be badgered by the very people they call friends. Sometimes the best answer is just listening.
Eating disorders, body image and weight can be forgotten over time.
Criticism, insults and assumptions and hurtful words/actions cannot so easily.
Awe, thanks! It's not an easy road and some days are better other.
But I think the most important things are:
1. Love Yourself: You deserve to love yourself no matter what you look like. When you wake up, give yourself a great big hug. Do the same when it's time…
I will be picking some answers for tomorrow's video!
You guys are awesome.

Every person is an important milestone in this blog.
I love you all dearly. If you every neeed anything, the mods and i are all here for you. Just ask.
We are here to take your personal questions, need for advice, and venting and story sharing. :)
and you can reach me at my personal.
Dear 19 Year Old Self,
First of all, I want to say that I am so Proud of you. Your Faith in God and yourself has increased so much over these last couple of months. You got off academic probation, you 3.0. that math class that you failed last yr, and you are finally going out more.
Second, I am Glad that you are finally living your life the way you want to. Doing what makes you happy, and not letting anyone hold you back from being the way that you truly want to be. Because even though you had an idea of the mentality that you are supposed to have in college, you were still concerned about what others thought about you and letting their criticisms about you hold you back from fully coming out of your shell.
Third I am very happy to see that you finally decided to embrace the way you look. I know this is something that you have been struggling with since you were in the 6th grade (being called shaggy, 2 backs, etc). But these past couple of years, it really got intense for you. Trying to gain some type of curves only to have it backfire and make you lose even more weight (that was God trying to tell you something then lol). And stressing yourself out about it, played one of the factors for your hair not being as healthy as it should be. You being Happy about the way you look now, will have nothing but Positive outcomes in the future. I promise!
You are a Strong, Beautiful, Intelligent, Caring, and Funny young lady. And no one can take those qualities away from you. I hope this little letter gives you an extra boost of confidence in yourself.
And Happy Early B'day. Party hard this weekend! lml X^D lml
Come, join us! We have self love and cookies!

Scathing obit about abusive NV mother goes viral
Friday - 9/13/2013, 2:09pm EDT
Associated Press
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Anyone expecting a sweet remembrance of the life and times of Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick was in for a surprise if they opened the obituary pages this week in the local newspaper.
"On behalf of her children who she abrasively exposed to her evil and violent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after-life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty and shame that she delivered on her children," the scathing obituary begins.
Now circling the globe on the Internet, the obit was written by Johnson-Reddick's adult children, whose horror stories prompted Nevada to become one of the first states to allow children to sever parental ties back in the 1980s.
Johnson-Reddick died at a Reno nursing home Aug. 30 at the age of 79, according to her daughter, Katherine Reddick, 57, now a psychology consultant for a school district outside Austin, Texas.
Katherine Reddick said she decided to share the story of their painful physical and mental abuse after consulting with her brother, Patrick Reddick, 58, who lives in Minden south of Carson City. They said they grew up with four siblings in a Carson City orphanage after they were removed from their mother's home and had been estranged from her for more than 30 years.
"Everyone she met, adult or child was tortured by her cruelty and exposure to violence, criminal activity, vulgarity, and hatred of the gentle or kind human spirit," the obit said. "Our greatest wish now is to stimulate a national movement that mandates a purposeful and dedicated war against child abuse in the United States of America."
Six of Johnson-Reddick's eight children were admitted to the Nevada Children's Home from 1963 to 1964 after they endured regular beatings, sometimes with a metal-tipped belt, and other abuse at the hands of their mother, Patrick Reddick said. He said he's had phone calls from "all over the world" about the obituary.
"Everything in there was completely true," he told The Associated Press on Thursday, describing her as a "wicked, wicked witch."
He said they wanted to "shame her a little bit" but that the "main purpose for putting it in there was to bring awareness to child abuse ... shame child abuse overall."
"People doing that right now, they can read that obit and think," said Patrick Reddick, who last saw his mother more than three decades ago.
"I'm a survivor," he said. "I count my blessings every day. Especially for my wife."
Reddick and his sister, now 57, testified before the 1987 Legislature on bills to make courts give equal consideration to the best interest of a child when terminating parental rights.
Former state Sen. Sue Wagner, who authored the legislation that ultimately was signed into law, remembers meeting with them at the time. She told KOLO-TV in Reno that it was one of the reasons Nevada became one of few states to address the issue at the time.
"I'm very happy that they now are free of their mother," Wagner said.
The obituary was printed in Tuesday's editions of the Reno Gazette-Journal and appeared on RGJ.com after it was submitted through a self-service online portal.
John Maher, president and publisher of the newspaper, said in a "note to readers" that the paper had "removed the online listing of this obituary as we continue our review of the circumstances surrounding its placement."
Little else is known about the woman. The Reno newspaper reported that she lived in a mobile home with 15 cats up until she was hospitalized in May for treatment of bladder cancer.

Rodney Milburn Biography
October 19, 2014
So I've finally posted all chapters of the biography I wrote on 1972 Olympic high hurdle champion Rodney Milburn. I've had several chapters of the biography buried for years in the "Stories" section of this site, but had lost a later chapter a few years ago when my computer died. Recently a friend of mine was able to retrieve a copy to send to me, allowing me to put all the chapters up here now.
I initially began the project in 2004, conducted dozens of interviews and did tons of research between 2004 and 2006, and visited Milburn's hometown of Opelousas, LA on two separate occasions.
To read the bio, check out the menu bar above: Rodney Milburn: The Quiet Champion. All chapters are there, in order. For more info on the process I went through in completing this project, read the intro.
You Know You're a Hurdler If… #3
September 9, 2014
For today's blog post, we're back with another round of "You know you're a hurdler if…" Came up with ten for this set. Got a bit of a football theme going on in honor of the beginning of the NFL season. Hope you can relate!
You know you're a hurdler if:
- You've been accused of not being a team player because all you want to do is hurdle.
- You have a stash of practice hurdles in the trunk of your car.
- You'd rather stay in and watch hurdling videos than go out with friends.
- All your favorite NFL players ran hurdles in high school or college.
- You think Robert Griffin III made a mistake by sticking with football.
- You've broken a hurdle and kept the crossbar as a souvenir.
- You have posters/pics of hurdlers on your bedroom wall.
- You get annoyed when you see teammates using hurdles for plyometric drills. HURDLES ARE FOR HURDLING ONLY!!!
- You view days off from team practice as golden opportunities to get in some hurdle work on your own.
- When you saw this vid from last weeks Steelers vs. Browns game, you were critiquing Antonio Brown's technique.
Still Hurdling After All These Years
July 29, 2014
Masters hurdler Francis X. Shen, who splits time between Minnesota and Boston, recently contacted me about his hurdling endeavors. Shen, who ran for the University of Chicago in the late '90′s, has continued to train and compete into his mid-thirties. Seven years ago he wrote an article entitled "Still Hurdling after all These Years," and he recently updated it to reflect his current status. It's a long article about his hurdling journey, and it's well worth the time to read the whole thing.
What you realize in reading Shen's article is that all of us who dedicate ourselves to the hurdles share a special bond, that there are commonalities in our stories that unite us in ways that are unspoken and invisible, yet very, very real. To read the article in full, click on this link: Still Hurdling after all These Years.
Here's a snippet from the article that really rang true for me:
This is the difference between competitive sports and "going to the gym." In the gym, you can't lose. The Boston Sports Club, like so many others, markets themselves by telling customers, "We want to make the experience easy for you." They have televisions so you can forget about the running; trainers with you at every step so you don't have to think for yourself; and guarantees that you'll leave feeling great. Hurdling does something else entirely. It humbles you. Hurdling isn't a way to forget about the reality of life. Hurdling brings that reality front and center. Like other serious track and field athletes, hurdlers feel anxiety as they realize that everything hinges on one, short race. Hurdlers feel disappointment and experience failure when they don't perform up to expectations (especially their own). Hurdlers don't always walk off the track feeling great about themselves. Sometimes they walk off the track so disgusted and deflated they don't know why they ever started doing it to begin with. Hurdlers get knocked down. But the great lesson of hurdling, the great lesson of competitive athletics, is that you fight back. You feel the pain, but you work through it. You acknowledge defeat, but you don't accept it.read more

City of Knoxville, Tennessee
Madeline Rogero, Mayor
Knoxville Fire Department turns 120
Knoxville Fire Dept. (KFD)
History of KFD
Boomsday Info
Open House Schedule
August 29, 2005
- To celebrate its 120th anniversary, the Knoxville Fire Department is hosting a celebration and exposition at Boomsday and Open Houses at its fire stations.
On exhibit at Boomsday, the Sept. 4 celebration at Volunteer Landing, will be the City's newest fire engine and two antique fire engines. Children will have the opportunity to see how fast they can "turnout" when an alarm sounds as they lie in bed and they have to scramble to don real firefighter's protective clothing in as fast a time as possible. They will receive a certificate with their time recorded.
A Fire Safety House will feature education about combustible materials and fire hazards in the home, and visitors will be able to experience finding their way to safety in a smoke-filled room. Information will also be available on the Smoke Alarm Program, which provides free smoke alarms and batteries to those who cannot afford them.
Information will also be available on the East Tennessee Firefighters Museum, which seeks to preserve and present the heritage of firefighters and Fire Departments from the East Tennessee region. Tax-deductible donations will be accepted.
Also, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 7 and running through Friday, Oct. 14 each fire station will host an open house for the community.
Click here
for the date of the fire station and the open house date. Hours at each will be 5 to 9 p.m.
The Knoxville Fire Department traces its roots to 1885 when it evolved from a volunteer department to one staffed full-time with paid firefighters. The department has grown over that time from seven firefighters to more than 300 firefighters who meet the fire, emergency medical, rescue, and hazardous materials needs for the City of Knoxville residents and companies.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is my son's second year at Hoffman-Boston. I enrolled him with great hesitation because of the negative review provided to me by people in the community. After observing the school keenly and getting involved (as all parents should), I must say that I have no regrets enrolling my son in this culturally and economically diverse school. It will make better prepared to have successful interactions with all types of people. The staff, from the Principal (Ms. Graves) to the custodians, are so invested in making this school a great representative of Arlington Public Schools. Sure their rating isn't as high as North Arlington Schools, but I can assure you that their teaching staff is just as strong, creative, intelligent, and dedicated to the students. Needs of many students at this school are greater than those of students in N. APS schools, but that is not a cause to flee to another school, but this school has the supports in place to give these students the best education they can get. Strong parental support in the PTA will help move this school up a N. APS school rating so parents of this school community, let's rally together and show people how fantastic HB really is!!!
Hoffman-Boston is an excellent school with extremely dedicated, caring, kind, and compassionate teachers, staff, and administrators. I have two sons that attend here and I call their teachers the miracle workers. Both of my sons are diagnoised with ADHD, which is difficult to deal with and requires much patience, the teachers and staff here have given me so much support as I travel through the adventures of ADHD. They were always supportive and addressed each and everyone of my concerns and they were very flexible and accomadating with my request to visit their classroom. The level of teaching and academic experiences present at Hoffman-Boston are superb in my opinion. My children have had experiences here that will touch and enrich their lives and they will be that much fortunate for having been there at Hoffman-Boston! Also I would like to say that when looking for schools for your children, don't let one bad review stop you, you have to inform yourself and visit the school and really become involved to make your own wise deciscions about what is best for your child.
My autistic son had a horrible experience in the so called "ABA" autism classrom here last year. He regressed so much that it's taking him a year now and he still hasn't caught up. I was not allowed to observe or even talk with the teacher unless the autism coordinator (who, by the way, is over 19 schools!) was present! I was told things were being done, only to find out later, they weren't. I wasn not welcome in the school, and sent back to the office to wait even when I had signed in for an IEP meeting! I picked up my son every day, but was never allowed to talk with the teacher. My son was only 3 years old. I do not trust that school. It seemed they were hiding things from us.
Hoffman-Boston is a school that is overlooked. The teaching and learning that goes on within and outside of the school walls is incredible. The administration and staff are dedicated to giving our children the best education they have to offer. And they do it EVERY day. Don't just look at the test scores, though they are on the rise, take an hour to come see what's happening for yourself. Seeing is believing.
Look at the test scores---look at the reviews...this school is bad news--until there is a change in administration my children will not go here. Parents you have a right to go to another public school and a right to transportation there--don't be duped into letting this underperforming school go on.
As a product of private school, I had every intention of placing my child in one. After discussions with other parents in my neighborhood, I placed my son there for pre-school. He is now in Kindergarden and I can't wait to put my other son in there. This school has set the standard as how any school should be. My oldest loves studing and going to school and my youngest tears up to go with him. The teachers and the staff have created an environment that is safe, fun, personal and full of educational encouragement. I could ask for a better school.
My child used to go to HB and I was very involved in the school day to day. I believe the teachers who were there were very dedicated and some of the social studies activities that they were involved in were absolutely amazing. There was a real change in the atmosphere with the change in principals and many of the teachers moved on. We have since transferred to another school in the county. I recommend observing the behavior before enrolling.
As a very involved parent, I must say that my children have had excellent teachers! Unfortunately, there are only a handful of parents able/willing to give of their time! Without more help and the lack of enthusiasm and school spirit, from our new principal, it has been a very difficult year.

Are you scared? Or are you not ready? There is a difference.
A bouquet of clumsy words: you know that place between sleep and awake where you're still dreaming but it's slowly slipping? I wish we could feel like that more often. I also wish I could click my fingers three times and be transported to anywhere I like. I wish that people didn't always say 'just wondering' when you both know there was a real reason behind them asking. And I wish I could get lost in the stars.
Listen, there's a hell of a good universe next door, let's go.
— E.E. Cummings
How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn't they paralyze us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?
— Don DeLillo, White Noise (via petrichour)
Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.
— Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you're 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn't go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It's going to break your heart. Don't let this happen.
— Anne Lamott
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.
— Noam Chomsky (via arbolae)
After a while, the residents of the sea do not hear the sound of the waves.

I inherited a rifle from my Dad and wanted to know more about it. Unfortuneatly, it does not have any type of brand name, or any kind of identification except the term ".22 short-long and long rifle" It is a bolt action single shot rifle.
There is no brand or number anywhere on it. The stock was hand made. all I know about it is that my grandmother used it for rabbits whem she was a child. She was born in the early nineteen thirties. My Dad used it as a kid and even I used it too as a child to shoot cans.
I dont have pictures unfortunately but i was hoping someone could tell me about the legality of having this rifle. Im moving to Canada soon and i dont want to have to give it up or leave it behind if I cant prove its origin.
I would like to take it to Canada with me. Its a fine piece of heritage and history for my family and I would love to pass it on to my boys.

That's a single shot hunting rifle. You should have no problem at all with it legally. The anti-gun idiots wish all rifles were like that !
Erd- until the 1968 Gun Control Act, there was no legal requirement to serially number rifles and shotguns. You may have a "Hardware Store" gun. Sears, Western Auto, Montgomery wards had guns made by others marked with their brands- but a lot of other places sold "generic" 22s. There are things you need to do to export a firearm- even a single shot 22- to Canada- both US things and Canadian things. while it is tempting to say just take it apart, and pack in your household goods, and keep yer mouth shut, the jack booted thugs can treat a .22 rifle as if it were at 10 kt nuclear weapon.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Best thing to do is to contact Canada. We here at FTF didn't go to law school and we defiantly didn't go to Canadian Law school.... BSF5044 - Importing a Firearm or Weapon Into CanadaIf you need more information about Canada's firearms laws, a specific firearm, weapon, device and/or applicable fees, contact the Canada Firearms Centre at 1-800-731-4000.
All I can tell you is have all the paper work in order long before you try to cross the boarder. This will save you from one giant headache.
God, Family, Guns, in that order.
Wow thanks for all the information! I was worried that I would not be able to take the rifle to Canada. Its special to me. I dont have any papers though, no proof of where its been or who owned it. I hope that doesnt cause any trouble :P
But thanks again for the information! Ill get on that right away!
My dad bought me a .22 rifle from Western Auto when I was 12. Paid $39.99 for it. There were cheaper 22's on the rack but mine was a 7 shot mag fed with chrome bolt, trigger & trigger guard. Either the 22 or my 16 gauge Iver Johnson was on my sholder every weekend when we went camping in the woods next to my house (1000+ acres). No seriel #s either. Had to threaten Western Auto with mayhem if they wouldn't tell me who made it. Finally found out it was a Marlin 780 renamed Revelation.
It's a shame you can't find out where your grandfather/grandmother bought the rifle. My rifle is labeled short/long/long rifle also. I don't remember anything else being available back then (1960's)...at least not in the sleepy little town I was raised in. You might be able to search the internet to find out who made it, or better yet, post a picture of the rifle on different forums. Somebody out there has a gun exactly like yours and knows what it is. Then again, if it was hand made using a barrel & action from another gun or two you might be out of luck.

Finally draft week is here. Things are starting to happen like Doc Rivers leaving the Celtics to coach the Clippers. Draft related items however have grown quiet as teams begin hashing out the pros and cons of each player in detail. I for one prefer to speculate when information is coming out fast and furious while teams are doing workouts. These quiet times lend to plenty of guessing and suspense. One thing that seems to be happening lately though is talk about Alec Burk's future with the Utah Jazz.
Alec Burks is the biggest question mark of Utah's "Core 4″ young guns. He has received the least amount of playing time but has performed well when given the minutes. He has shown the ability to be a playmaker and has shown an improved shot. He plays good defense and seems to hustle on the court. Was he just a victim of playing behind a lot of veteran wings or is there more to it the fans don't see? One thing seems to be certain, he will be a big part of this offseason.
On 1280 The Zone's Big Show on Friday afternoon Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey said the team will be very aggressive in terms of moving up in the draft and could do so if they wanted to right now. To me this means they want to move up much higher than the offers they have on the table. I think the Jazz want to get into at least the top 5 if not the top 3. They seem much more comfortable with who they will draft at 21 and I think Isaiah Canaan of Murray St is a legit candidate to be drafted there as Purple and Blues editor Josh Haslam has been proclaiming for some time now. At 14 though, I don't think the Jazz are comfortable at all and this is where a trade involving Alec Burks could help the Jazz move up on draft night.
A trade scenario I really like was detailed by P&B staff writer Broox Anderson in this article: http://purpleandblues.com/2013/06/23/utah-jazz-how-the-utah-jazz-can-draft-victor-oladipo/. I think Victor Oladipo represents everything the Jazz are looking for in this draft. If the comparisons to Dwayne Wade come to fruition, Oladipo would easily be remembered as the best player of this draft. His game would fit in beautifully with Gordon Hayward at the 3 and (Insert veteran point guard here)/Canaan at the 1. In Broox's trade scenario it would be No. 2 overall pick (Oladipo) and a Trade Exception gained from Orlando's Josh McRoberts trade with the Bobcats going to the Jazz in exchange for The No. 14 pick, Alec Burks, rights to Ante Tomic and a future 2nd rounder going to Orlando. I think it's a win-win for both teams. (Note: For this trade to work the Jazz would have to draft the player of Orlando's choosing first, then the trade can be completed. Teams can only trade 1st round picks outright every other year)
It's worth noting that Patrick Kinahan of 1280 The Zone's morning show DJ & PK was on the local Utah CBS affiliate's 2News Talking Sports last night and he mentioned that he thinks Alec Burks would have to be involved in any draft day trade that involved the Jazz moving up. PK is fairly well connected in the sports community here and doesn't use player's names lightly so a statement like that is meaningful. Alec Burks is going to have an impact on the Jazz this offseason and next season as a whole. His improved play will solidify himself as a key player to this team or he will help Utah get a player they think can help them for years to come.

Posts tagged "GOP"
Can't this idiot afford a fact-checker? Does she not know how to use a search engine like Google? It's gaffe after gaffe with this moron and yet she's arrogant enough to think she can be president.
At a town hall last Wednesday attended by ThinkProgress, Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA) was asked why he supports the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy since America has lost millions of jobs since its passage. When Lungren deflected, saying that everyone benefits from the Bush…
Obama's economic address last Thursday was seen as tough and firm because he finally called out Republicans in Congress. Progressives liked the new fortitude, and also the relatively large sums Obama would mobilize to jolt the economy back to vibrancy.
But there was nothing remotely radical (or even particularly liberal) about Obama's ideas: tax cuts, many of them business-friendly, and new spending for such exotic projects as, well, schools and roads. As the president said, his proposals have all drawn Republican support in the past.
He was, however, talking about a Republican Party that existed before it was taken over by a new sensibility linking radical individualism with a loathing for government that would shock Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln and, for goodness' sake, Robert Taft.
Thus the GOP sees the solution to the crisis in the measures its right wing has always favored: gutting regulation; keeping taxes on the affluent low; cutting government programs; and stopping Ben Bernanke and the Fed from doing anything to put the unemployed back to work that might risk the tiniest bit of inflation and thus dilute, even momentarily, the wealth of the already wealthy.

When I was a kid my dad told me that soy sauce was Japanese people's blood. He doesn't even remember telling me that, but I believed him for quite a while and still think about that whenever I eat soy sauce.
In third grade, I read the schedule. It had mostly the same classes as second grade, but instead of "recess", there was "P.E." I used to believe that P.E. meant recess because of that. Until my first PE class...
I used to believe that the "Pledge" of Allegiance had something to do with our "Pledge" cleaner.
I used to have a map of the United States, and each state had its own color. I used to believe Minnesota was hot because it was shown as red on the map. This was supported by Florida being green. I lived there, and it seemed to have a lot of trees...
When I was younger I started to wonder how my mom can dad can just get dressed and undressed in front of each other so nonchalantly even though they were opposite genders. I asked my older sister, and she told me that when people get married, they have to go into a room and stand naked in front of each other. This made me nervous to get married. I also figured that if two people got married and they had children, like in The Brady Bunch, that the children would have to do the same thing with their new step siblings.
When I was around 10 or 11 I was bullied in school so I had no friends. I loved Pokemon too (still do) and had a pokemon as my friend called Shaymin. I think he went away when I moved school. His last words were " You'll make friends besides me " and disappeared. I cried for the night :-(
I saw a lot of Geico commercials. I thought that "15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance" meant that the longer you talked on the phone, the more money you would save. If you could keep them busy for 100 minutes, your insurance was free!
I used to think "Robin Hood and his merry men" was "Robin Hood and his *married* men."
Based on that memorable scene from the "Wizard of Oz," I used to believe that people died from shrinking!
When I was like 4 or 5, I loved those Sesame Street movies where Big Bird visits other countries. I really liked learning Japanese words in "Big Bird in Japan", but unfortunately almost all the words they focused on sounded exactly like English words: "hai" (yes) sounds like "hi", "ohayou" (good morning) sounds like "Ohio", and "ichi, ni, san" (one, two, three), sounds like "itchy, knee, sun." Because of this, I thought for a time that Japanese, and probably other languages besides English, had all the same words as English, but the meanings were just switched around.
