"All Together Now: A Celebration of Service"Posted byon March 22, 2011 at 7:32 PM EDT
Throughout the month of March, the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation is celebrating stories of service. Last night, the Points of Light Institute paid tribute to President George Herbert Walker Bush, America's 41st President and the man who inspired the modern service movement.
Throughout his life, President Bush has promoted the notion that every day, in communities across America, countless ordinary individuals and community organizations are hard at work volunteering their time and skills to help make a difference in the lives of others. He described this hands-on movement as "a vast galaxy of people and institutions working together to solve problems in their own backyard."
During his Administration, President Bush created the first ever Cabinet-level position dedicated solely to service and established the Daily Points of Light Award to highlight individuals making a difference in their communities. President Bush called the nation to service, and in response, the Points of Light Foundation, which later became the Points of Light Institute, was created. Thanks to the work of President and Mrs. Bush, many Americans have come to recognize the voluntary action of citizens as a cornerstone of our democracy.
President Obama continues to carry on this legacy of service. Within the first 100 days of his Administration, he made expanding national service a Presidential priority by signing into law the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The landmark legislation reauthorizes and expands AmeriCorps and establishes the Social Innovation Fund. Two key ideas promoted by the Act – rewarding results and demonstrating the impact of national service programs – have resonated with communities and funders around the country. Since the signing of the Act, there's been an emergence of new models of civic and corporate engagement and a fresh focus on evaluation and metrics for success.
Service is not separate from our achieving our national priorities, but integral to it. In fact, in times of challenge, we are best when we turn to community for the solutions rather than away from it. Through the creativity and ingenuity of engaged citizens, we can create a future that allows our children to prosper.
Last night, the Points of Light Institute honored President and Mrs. Bush for their remarkable leadership and dedication to service. The public event in Washington D.C. brought together all of the living former Presidents, many senior Administration officials, and thousands of people from around the country who have helped their communities through service. Tune into NBC on Monday, March 28th to watch the event.
The Points of Light Institute is also collecting inspiring stories from around the country. Share yours on their online Tribute Wall.

Sharing Solutions Through Service: A Story Celebrating ServicePosted byon March 17, 2011 at 4:52 PM EDT
Ed. Note: The Peace Corps program in El Salvador began in 1962 and is was one of the agency's earliest posts. More than 2,100 Americans have served in El Salvador coordinating with local municipalities, NGOs, and community groups to develop better water systems, make health and sanitation improvements, provide environmental education, and assist municipal development projects. Sara served as a Municipal Development Volunteer in El Salvador from 2003-2006.
When I first arrived in Candelaria de la Frontera, El Salvador, I frequently wondered, "Why can't this country just be more like the U.S.?" Though my family is of Hispanic heritage, I had usually shied away from being labeled as Hispanic and did not regularly embrace many parts of Latino culture. It took me about a year to understand that I had to accept the country with all of its idiosyncrasies, and that if I was going to be there as a Peace Corps Volunteer, I had better work my hardest to make my two-year commitment worth it. So I began meeting with different community groups, helping to strengthen their internal functions and facilitating communication with the local city hall. I organized youth camps, giving many children in my community the opportunity to travel outside of their village for the first time while facilitating educational experiences.
I soon realized that I loved being a Peace Corps Volunteer, and I loved learning about Latino culture, appreciating it, and embracing it. I decided to stay in the country after my Peace Corps service to manage a service-learning program at a private high school in El Salvador, whose students would become future leaders in many fields. The program taught students the value of service by helping them become development workers who learned more about their country by doing hands-on work. On several occasions, I used my Peace Corps community for service-learning activities, and my students led youth camps for children from other Volunteers' communities.
Working with Salvadorans across the economic spectrum allowed me to learn about Salvadoran society, culture, and different paths to community development. Experiencing the daily obstacles to community improvement in the Peace Corps, and facilitating a student's first exposure to the stark realities of their country, made me more determined to learn about solutions to poverty; I pursued a Master's degree in public affairs and learned about solutions on a broader scale. I am now a proud federal employee who strongly believes in the ability of government to provide the foundation for community-level initiatives to address poverty.
I consider the Peace Corps as my launching point for my career in public service, and I am grateful for the grassroots experience that continues to shape my thoughts and actions.

Transformation Starts From Within: A Story Celebrating ServicePosted byon March 16, 2011 at 12:55 PM EDT
I went to law school in California planning to make the world a safer place by incarcerating criminals. During my first week, I volunteered to teach incarcerated youth about the law, in all honesty, because I wanted to meet "juvenile delinquents."
This service experience changed my life.
I realized that underneath the shells of hardened "juvenile delinquents" were kids. Kids who had grown up believing that by the time they were 18 or 21 they would be in prison or dead.
Kids who over and over again would tell me: "If only."
- "If only I knew how much trouble I would get into."
- "If only someone had cared about me."
- "If only I had been given a chance to do something good for community…I wouldn't be here."
I hadn't expected to care. But, their stories began to haunt me. I found myself wishing that someone would listen to their ideas and do something to help. Then it hit me – I should stop wishing and start doing.
So I asked them, "What would you do to help other kids from ending up here?" They said: 1. Teach kids about the consequences of crime to help them learn how to make better choices; 2. Connect them with a positive role model to help them be successful; and 3. give them a chance to give back to their communities to help them show it's not too late for "juvenile delinquents" to change.
These youth wrote letters of recommendations for seed funding to start Fresh Lifelines for Youth (FLY). Today, over 10 years later, with 100 volunteers and 26 staff, FLY provides the programs they recommended: legal education, mentoring, and leadership training for kids in the juvenile justice system and those at-risk for system involvement. The kids who helped design FLY were right; their suggestions worked. FLY effectively helps kids start transforming their lives for less than 1/10 the cost of incarceration.
At FLY, the youth we seek to serve continue to be our greatest teachers, reminding us that those we want to help have the greatest insights into what they need and an incredible capacity to serve as part of the solution. Personally, I am mindful that being a part of an organization that is all about transformation began, first, with my own.

The View From My Shoes: A Story Celebrating ServicePosted byon March 15, 2011 at 3:04 PM EDT
The captivating power of instant communications, whether it's Facebook, Twitter, or the 24-hour news cycle, creates the illusion that we are more "plugged in" than we really are. Jolting images of events taking place around the world awaken our sense of compassion and desire for justice. We wish there was something we could do.
Awareness and concern are good first steps. But to truly grapple with the harsh realities that too many people face today, we have to step into their place and literally see the view from their shoes. This is a Peace Corps Volunteer's vantage point and strength. To "walk the walk" is more than helping to alleviate the painful effects of poverty, conflict, and social discrimination—it's about advancing the sustaining power of culture and the uplifting complexity of the human spirit.
As a new college graduate, I felt completely primed and empowered to join the Peace Corps as a Volunteer in Iran in 1962. I didn't realize that the greatest lesson of my life was just beginning. Two years teaching English in a remote area taught me more invaluable lessons than anything else that has happened afterwards. Daily life became transformative just by eating the same food, washing in the same water, and using the same transportation as the people I lived and worked with everyday.
I learned resourcefulness, resilience, and immense respect for a community that gradually learned to accept and trust me as well. The dean of the school where I taught had never worked with a female teacher before; he didn't quite know how to deal with me at first. Over time I became less of an outsider and more of a valued contributor, and while all my ideas weren't embraced, many were adapted to fit a distinctly local framework.
What can one person really do? More than you can imagine. Lasting change is best accomplished by small, meaningful steps that accrue and are reinforced over time. And change is never one-sided. By helping to improve the quality of life for others, we create a more meaningful life for ourselves.
I tell students that to really learn about the world, they need to be part of it. Service shapes our values, harnesses our passions, and, most definitely, makes a real difference.
As we celebrate 50 years of the Peace Corps Volunteers, I invite everyone who is ready to "walk the walk" and make a difference in others' lives to step up and see the view from their shoes.

Healthy Markets, Healthy Communities: A Story Celebrating ServicePosted byon March 14, 2011 at 12:32 PM EDT
Across the country, many low-income urban and rural communities live without access to the healthy foods that families need to thrive. These areas where residents face economic and social barriers to affordable, fresh, whole foods are known as "food desserts." At the same time, small farmers are struggling to make ends meet. Wholesome Wave, a Connecticut-based nonprofit, is seeking to nourish neighborhoods and support family farms by directly connecting consumers to fresh foods.
The Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation had the opportunity to talk with Wholesome Wave. The organization is built on a series of local partnerships and provides solutions that address the nutritional needs of families and build local markets. The staff works with farmers markets and organizations to connect a broad base of consumers to farmers. This three year old organization tells a story of two unlikely partners joining to create a scalable model that addresses the specific needs of people in communities across the country.
In 2008, Michel Nischan, a sustainable food chef, and Gus Schumacher, a former Under Secretary of the USDA, joined to found Wholesome Wave. A professional chef and restaurateur, Nischan adapted his passion for regional cuisine to meet the strict dietary needs of his young sons who had been diagnosed with diabetes. He recognized that the difficulty of achieving a healthy diet for his sons must be amplified for someone without the same elevated access to nutritious foods.
Schumacher's activism around food access began when he was delivering boxes of pears from his family farm. During the trip, one box fell off the truck. When Schumacher and his brother returned to pick up the fallen fruit, a woman and two young sons were picking the bruised pears out of the gutter. When Schumacher asked why she would be collecting this unwanted fruit, the mother explained that her food stamps weren't enough to buy the fruits and vegetables her family needed.
The Nischan-Schumacher collaboration was the first of many partnerships that support Wholesome Wave. The organization works with third-party funders to double the purchasing power of SNAP dollars (formerly known as food stamps) when used to buy fresh food at farmers markets. This partnership incentivizes food assistance recipients to choose healthy options without any extra cost. Another project is to develop public-private partnerships with businesses, social services, and public spaces to create Healthy Food Hubs. These are neighborhoods that provide both access to food and information about improving healthy habits.
Since its start in 2008, Wholesome Wave has expanded its programming and reach. The organization has scaled its services from 12 markets in 4 states to over 160 markets in 20 states this year. We applaud Wholesome Wave for the inspiring work they do to serve low-income families and local farmers.

Understanding the Culture of Questions: A Story Celebrating ServicePosted byon March 10, 2011 at 7:59 PM EDT
Ed. Note:The Peace Corps program in Mongolia opened in 1991 and has hosted nearly 900 American volunteers over the past twenty years. Volunteer Robert Galloway arrived in Mongolia in 2010 to teach English.
As an English teacher, I'm eager to introduce my students to question words early.
"Yagaad" is Mongolian for "why," and I enjoy hearing it because such a word really deserves at least two syllables. For a question that so rarely has an answer, just as interesting to me is when it is asked. At home, it was a steady stream of family and friends asking me why I was going all the way to Mongolia for two years. Now that I'm here, the most common conversation I have is, "Do you have a wife, Rob?" "No," and without a breath in between, "Yagaad?" I used to be taken aback by this; the question sounding to my ears like, "Why, what's wrong with you?"
My reflections on service are usually based on the small and trivial aspects of my exchanges in Mongolia and the natural human curiosity we hold for one another. In my ninth month here, "yagaad" has slowly been replaced by "why" in my conversations with students, signaling to me that they now expect and desire my answers to be in English. They've stopped asking about a wife and started asking about why America celebrates Martin Luther King Day, why I enjoy reading so much, why American families live in the ways that we do.
One of my ninth graders surprised me early on a Saturday morning by knocking on my door: "Good morning teacher, may I chop your wood for you?"
"Really?" I asked, more than a little relieved for the help.
"Yes, I would like to talk and practice English with you."
"Sure, why not?" I said.
What I've come to know is that the Peace Corps is a time when "Why?" becomes "Why not?" both for Volunteers and the people and communities we aim to serve. Each encounter is full of possibility, and the frequency with which I get to answer these questions about myself, and ask them of others, is a small and everyday measure of my impact here—the world becoming a slightly smaller classroom and all of us as students becoming a little more curious about our neighbors.
Why not?
Robert Galloway, 24, is from Wayzata, Minnesota, and serves as an English teacher with the Peace Corps in Mongolia

EBACE 2011: ACJC Delivers ACJ to Deer Jet
Beijing-based charter operator Deer Jet has taken delivery of Airbus Corporate Jet Centre's first VIP cabin completion for a Chinese customer, which is also the first ACJ operated by a Chinese company for dedicated charter.
The Deer Jet ACJ features a three-cabin layout capable of accommodating up to 28 passengers. The forward cabin is outfitted as a private office with its own lavatory and shower and foldout sofabed. In the middle cabin, two club-four seating areas, each with tables, facilitate meetings. And the aft section of the ACJ is fitted with 20 flatbed, electrically operated cocoon seats, each with its own video display.
"Dark wood and white marble are used to create an environment that brings spiritual peace and tranquility," said ACJC creative designer Sylvain Mariat. "The balance is created thanks to a contemporary minimalist architectural vocabulary, assembling materials such as dark and bright leather and chrome-nickel metal plating," he added.
ACJC now offers a high-definition, 1080p-format entertainment system using the HDMI wiring network. Full high-def quality is available on up to four screens simultaneously, either from an HD source, such as a Blu-ray player, or external devices, including laptops and gaming devices, which ACJC believes is a first for the VIP marketplace. "Our customers are now able to enjoy the best image quality offered by a widescreen," said Benoit Defforge, ACJC CEO.

http://www.cricket.com.au/Global Items/news/2013/1/29/watson-set-for-nsw-return
Watson tested his injured left calf in a club game for Sutherland on Saturday, scoring 30 from 50 balls and emerging unscathed.
The 31-year-old's return is timely for the Blues, with all-rounder Moises Henriques ruled out of the must-win clash after aggravating a finger injury in the drawn Sheffield Shield encounter against the Warriors.
Watson is one of five changes to the Blues' line-up that suffered a 30-run loss to Queensland in early December.
Josh Hazlewood, Gurinder Sandhu, David Dawson and Trent Copeland come into the side for Sean Abbott, Josh Lalor, Nic Maddinson, Adam Zampa and Henriques.
The Warriors, who were rolled for 85 en route to a 107-run loss to Tasmania in December last start, have also made five changes.
The inclusion of Hussey and shock axing of Marcus North are the major talking points as new coach Justin Langer looks to revitalise his side's campaign.
Three players - Australian under-19 team-mates Ashton Agar and Joel Paris as well as John Rogers - are in line for their one-day debuts, while Liam Davis is the other inclusion.
Michael Beer is sidelined with a shoulder injury suffered at training last week, opening the door for 19-year-old left-arm off spinner Agar, who was a shining light for the Warriors in his Shield debut at Blacktown International Sportspark.
Travis Birt, Nathan Rimmington and Tom Triffitt are the other players to make way.
Both sides enter the clash on the back of three straight defeats and another loss will extinguish their already slim chance of making the final.
The Blues are fifth on four points, ahead of the bottom-placed Warriors on run-rate, 15 points adrift of ladder-leaders Victoria.
Play is scheduled to start at 2.15pm AEST on Wednesday.
New South Wales: Stephen O'Keefe (c), Doug Bollinger, Trent Copeland, David Dawson, Brad Haddin, Josh Hazlewood, Scott Henry, Peter Nevill, Ben Rohrer, Gurinder Sandhu, Steve Smith, Shane Watson.
Western Australia: Adam Voges (c), Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Hilton Cartwright, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Liam Davis, Michael Hogan, Mike Hussey, Shaun Marsh, Joel Paris, John Rogers, Sam Whiteman.

Warning: This is a tale of monster sex. This story was written to unlock your darkest fantasies and innermost desires. It is not for the faint of heart and is not your mother's erotica.
Beliria's pride has gotten her into trouble again.
Before she can complete her rites of womanhood and take her place in the tribe, she must provide a kill for her tribe. Beliria chooses to hunt the most dangerous herbivore on the plains, the Tri-Horn. No single hunter has ever successfully taken a Triceratops, but Beliria is determined to be the first. Naked, with no food, water, or provisions beyond her weapons, Beliria sets out. Tracking the Tri-Horn, she lays a cunning ambush, but it isn't cunning enough.
Her attack caused the big bull Triceratops to lose his mate. Now he intends to replace her- with Beliria!
i'm just [stares off into the distance]
(also i'm pretty sure you guys have an idea of what you're getting yourselves into by clicking the read more but just in case: cw: dub-con and, surprisingly enough, cw: mention of incest)
At eighteen, my body was ripe and lush.
what the hell are you, a persimmon???
In deference to custom, apart from my weapons, I was naked.
yeah because that makes sense. who doesn't like to hunt giant dinosaurs completely naked. i know i do. favourite pastime after pretending i'm piloting a jaeger while i'm using the elliptical at the gym.
"Bel, I am worried about you." [Coulard] growled, warming my heart. I grabbed his hand and placed it on my buttock.
beliria please we don't have time for this, you're leaving in like two minutes
"When I come back," I told him, grabbing his hardening cock in my fist, "I am going to need something from you."
i'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume she's not talking about her tax return
My eyes went wide as I felt the male hardness of him and I knew that I couldn't wait - I wanted him now.
beliria, honestly, does this look like the time to you
Then and there on the ground if it need be, I began to stroke his hard cock.
fine okay suit yourself
I savagely pulled his foreskin back.
I came hard, slamming his face against my wet pussy with both hands.
tonight, on WWE raw
Coulard plunged himself deep inside me, pushing forward until our bodies met, his balls crushed against my ass. He began rocking his hips, slamming deeply inside me with every stroke.
this all sounds very aggressive to me and not in a good way
Meeting Coulard for the first time and almost instantly realizing he would be mine someday, our first kiss, our first lovemaking session.
… lovemaking session.
and then they say romance is dead
I recalled hugging my father, feeling the hardness of his erection pushing into my belly through our hide clothing and pulling away, looking at him in horror. And I remembered his answering grin.
??????? what the fuck now
i signed up for improbable scalie erotica, not for this
Had I somehow caused my father's death by looking at him the way I did? Was I wrong about things? Did all fathers behave that way towards their daughters?
can we not with this entire paragraph
what does it even mean
there's a fucking triceratops charging you and you're having daddy issues beliria this is not the time, get your head in the game
The Tri-horn towered above me, rumbling. […] His beak ran gently down my thigh, making me shiver as I felt his hot breath working down towards my groin. His breath ruffled the hatch of my pubic hair as he nuzzled my naked flesh and tickled me with his breath. The realization hit me like a club to the head. As I had been the cause of this creature losing his mate, he had decided that I was going to be the replacement!
ah yes
I realized I was going to pay for snapping his horn and it was probably going to hurt.
yeah no shit sherlock
can i just
how is this supposed to work
I realized that the creature was using its tongue on me! I couldn't believe this was happening - I had a ten-ton monster licking my ass!
And I was beginning to like it.
beliria is starting to sound a lot like me when i first watched hellboy
it's okay bel, we've all been there. sorta. pretty sure you get a crown for actually going there, like, physically. but. you know. semantics.
I spread myself for him, becoming as wet from my arousal as from the spittle which coated me from asshole to clitoris.
the mental image is enough to put me off sex for at least a week, and that's saying something
also can we take a moment to consider the fact that a fucking dinosaur is better at sex than most men
like at least he's sentient and well versed enough to know what to do
what am i even saying
stop this ride i want off
I was frightened again as I saw the size of his cock. It was as long and as thick as a heavily muscled arm. […] I had believed Coulard to have a big cock until I saw the vastness of this one.
wait wait hold your horses
are you trying to tell me that your human boyfriend's dick is smaller than a triceratops'?
wow, what a shocker
breaking: water is also wet
I decided that I probably could get all this meat in me.
no sweetie anatomy says you fucking can't
you could always cut it off and eat it though, that would kind of serve the same purpose
My cunt was stretched to a delicious dimension
what are you even saying
what am i even reading
The slow climb up toward my next mind-blowing orgasm was slow, my cunt burning.
if only you could see my face right now
Finally, with a hoarse roar of pleasure, my orgasm shattered through me and I exploded around his fat cock.
… literally?
He shot his thick, creamy semen deeply inside me, grunting and growling. His ejaculate flooded around the thickness of his member and covered his huge balls and belly.
i'm pretty sure gravity doesn't work that way
but who am i to question the scientific validity of this masterpiece
I […] ran like the wind, fleeing from the cave and the creature. It may have been the best sex I'd ever had, but I didn't want to do it again.

I'm gonna blog about my whole experience at the WPJJC so bear with the multiple posts. I'll put a permalink to the next day at the end of each entry!
For the Malaysia trials we had a total of 4 winners (Shane Suzuki, Jordan Roberts, Tommy Yang and Monstrinha) + 1 organizer (that would be me!!!) going to Abu Dhabi. Under an organizer ticket I am not allowed to compete (just to clarify that's the reason why I didn't take part in WPJJC). I would have loved to but hey it's a free trip to WPJJC so I ain't complaining. Next year I'll definitely be back but as a trial winner, you bet on it ;)
Anyway, there was something wrong with Tommy's ticket (the blue belt absolute winner) so he couldn't fly out together with us.
The group left KL at around 8pm on Sunday (8 April 2012) and arrived at Abu Dhabi at around 2 in the morning on Monday. The following pics of the airport were taken by Adrian Tham. :)
When we arrived I was told that my name was no where on the accommodation list (but it was in the pick up list) and that I would either have to crash at the lounge area or pay my own room! Thankfully, there was one of the organizers (Edder) present and he convinced reception to let me crash with Mag (cause her room-mate from Poland hadn't arrived yet) until we could sort this out in the morning. Luckily he also convinced them to give me the meal vouchers for my entire stay! Phew!
So we slept, woke up than tried to sort out the room situation but couldn't find the organizers and went to breakfast. Meals for the entire Abu Dhabi trip are served buffet style in the hall and have ridiculously long entry times (like dinner is from 6pm to 11pm o.O) but you are only allowed to enter the hall once and would be required to sign upon entry.
Speaking of which ALL INDOOR AREAS ARE F**ING COLD IN ABU DHABI. No throughout my 7 days there, I swear to God I was dressed for Winter or something. I even wore socks and my sweater to sleep cause that's how cold the AC is in Abu Dhabi. ;A;
Anyway after breakfast… Monstrinha, Shane and I decided to put on our Gi's and head to the mats room and train for a bit. The Mats room is open 24 hours to anyone who wants to train and even if you aren't training, it's a great place to sit and watch other people roll. So when I use the term 'session' I use it in a very loose sense, just think of it as a giant open mat!
It was such an amazing experience to see everyone rolling about and to see people you only see on youtube rolling in front of you and training! Also the concept of a no-time limit roll is new to me as we always have timed rolls in our gym (even during open mat session). I was a bit confused when the roll actually 'stops' but I gathered it's usually when someone get's submitted…
In the morning session I got to meet Megaton, Mackenzie Dern and Kit Dale from Australia. Mackenzie and Megaton are so absolutely friendly and they even asked us to roll with them (what an honour!). The session was quite packed with plenty of people rolling and drilling. After the morning session was over, Jordan and I went over to Coniche Beach. At the taxi stand we met Max and Daniel from Sweden and decided to share the cab with them.
Coniche beach in Abu Dhabi is amazing! The water is lukewarm but it's so clear and blue!!!!! The sand is fine and powdery and super clean (free of corals too). The waves are kinda weak cause it's a gulf and not an actual sea. I heard from Monstrinha the reason why the sand is so great is because it's imported from Japan, Hawaii and probably from East Coast Malaysia :P
I was actually really surprised at the 'open-ness' of the attire at the beach. Now I come from a Muslim country so covering up at the beach is not an alien concept. We're pretty liberal in Malaysia in the sense that I've myself have never gotten into much trouble for wearing a bikini in Malaysia (than again it's cause I'm not Muslim) but I was kinda expecting to see some locals covering themselves at the beach like how they do in Malaysia which kinda looks like this:
Maybe the girls in Abu Dhabi just don't go the the beach?! O_O Also I found it weird that as soon as you leave the sandy areas you have to 'cover up' even if you're walking to the changing room. Naturally I wasn't quite happy with that cause it meant my shorts had sand in them since I didn't have time to wipe off the sand -__-
After my beach episode, met up with Monstrinha and Shane for dinner then changed into my Gi to go train. The evening session wasn't very populated but we met a bunch of the Asian Atos guys cause Shane's from Atos. Satoshi was there and he was so nice and even asked Mag and I to roll with him. I also met this amazing blue belt from Tri-force (I know what an awesome cool name for a BJJ gym! I would so get a Zelda patch ^_~) who has the trickiest and most flexible guard I've seen in a blue belt. Amazing. Then I met Hideki who is the Japanese Shrek, we call him the small guy stuck in a big guy's body cause from the way he moves; you'd never would have think he was a big guy. He has some really nice deep half moves and plays guard very fluidly.
After that evening session… Monstrinha, Shane and I called it a day.

Theatrum Scientiarum: English Edition #1: Theatrum Scientiarum English Edition: Volume 1: Collection Laboratory Theater Scenes of Knowledge in the 17th Centuryby Helmar Schramm
Synopses & Reviews
Book News Annotation:
The series aspires to examine the fundamental crossover of art and science in a new way. The premise is that in the course of the reconstitution of science in the 17th century, practices of representation, observation, and medical competence emerged with productive forces that can only be adequately described within an interdisciplinary perspective. In this first volume, European and North American scholars of history, the social sciences, the humanities, and natural sciences present studies revolving around the cabinet of wonders, the laboratory, and the stage as localized settings of knowledge in the 17th century. The 25 papers were delivered to a conference in Berlin, and published in German in 2003.
Annotation �2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This volume launches a new, eight-volume series entitled Theatrum Scientiarum on the history of science and the media which has arisen from the work of the Berlin special research project on Performative Cultures under the aegis of the Theatre Studies Department of the Free University. The volume examines the role of space in the constitution of knowledge in the early modern age. Kunstkammern (art and curiosities cabinets), laboratories and stages arose in the 17th century as instruments of research and representation. There is, however, still a lack of precise descriptions of the epistemic contribution made by material and immaterial space in the performance of knowledge. Therefore, the authors present a novel view of the conditions surrounding the creation of these spatial forms. Account is taken bothof the institutional framework of these spaces and their placement within the history of ideas, the architectural models and the modular differentiations, and the scientific consequences of particular design decisions. Manifold paths are followed between the location of the observer in the representational space of science and the organization in time and space of sight, speech and action in the canon of European theatrical forms. Not only is an account given of the mutual architectural and intellectual influence of the spaces of knowledge and the performance spaces of art; they are also analyzed to ascertain what was possible in them and through them. This volume is the English translation of Kunstkammer, Laboratorium, B hne (de Gruyter, Berlin, 2003).

ASIC excludes remaining former Trio directors from financial services industry for four years
Related fund data links
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has entered into enforceable undertakings (EUs) with the remaining two former directors of Trio Capital Limited (Trio), Keith Finkelde and David O'Bryen.
Finkelde, who was a non-executive director from April 2007 and was also a member of the Investment Committee of Trio from July 2008, has agreed not to act in any role within the financial services industry for four years. He has also agreed not to act as a director of any corporations for four years.
O'Bryen who was a non-executive director of Trio from June 2007 and was chairman of the Risk and Compliance Committee of Trio during 2008 and 2009, has also agreed not to act in any role within the financial services industry for four years. He has also agreed not to act as a director of any corporations for four years with the exception of a company which acts as trustee of O'Bryen's self-managed superannuation fund.
ASIC Chairman Greg Medcraft says: 'ASIC is serious about holding gatekeepers to account. Since July 2011, ASIC has entered into enforceable undertakings with each of Trio's former directors to prevent them from operating in the financial services industry, and to deter others. Our investigations into the Trio matter continue.'
Today's announcement follows the EU entered into with former Trio chairman David Andrews on August 11, the EUs entered into with former Trio directors Rex Phillpott and Natasha Beck last month, the EU from Kilara Financial Solutions Pty Ltd, the Australian financial services (AFS) licence suspension of Seagrims Pty Ltd and the financial services banning of the directors of Seagrims.
It also follows the recent sentencing of Mr Shawn Richard to three years and nine months imprisonment for two charges of dishonest conduct in relation to his role as a director of the investment manager of the Astarra Strategic Fund.

Flutter Pillows
It seems I'm taking it a bit easy this summer (well, besides being chauffeur to my kids!), but I am happy to report I've finished a couple of pillows using the oh-so-cute Flutter fabric by Laura Gunn. Last time I shared this fabric, I mentioned I paired it with some of Laura's Painter's Canvas (which in case you are wondering, is quilting cotton, not actual canvas). She has a huge variety of colors but I selected a rainbow assortment.
I ended up adding piping to the butterfly pillow. I used a gray painters canvas I had on hand. I'm not exactly experienced with piping. I think the last time I made some was when I put together my Weekender. It turned out…ok. I know some people requested a tutorial and I'm sure there are much more experienced sources out there for that. I free motion quilted this pillow with some random loop-de-loops around the butterflies. I thought it gave a nice fluttering effect.
For my second pillow, I more or less fussy cut some little bugs out of the fabric. The different color bugs were all a bit different sizes, but I averaged them out to 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″. I then cut an assortment of the Painter's Canvas the same size and made a little rectangular patchwork design. I decided to quilt this one using decorative stitch 301 on my Bernina 750QE, using my usual 50 weight Aurifil thread in white.
I love that this machine does even wider stitches than my "old" Bernina (not really old). If your machine has decorative stitches and you haven't checked them out, I encourage you to do that! I've done this same technique on another pillow, using my Bernina 440QE and was thrilled with how that turned out as well.
One feature I tried out on my new machine this time was the "Start-Stop" button. See that green glowing button above? When I was ready to stitch, I pushed that button and it took off sewing without me using the foot pedal. I simply guided the fabric a bit. This was a nice feature considering how many lines I was stitching and let's face it – repetitive decorative lines can feel a bit monotonous at times.
The backs of the pillows are more of the Flutter fabric. I've given these to my daughter for her bedroom and they are already happily being used for her dolls.

An Interview, New Fabric and Sewing Progress
A bit of this-and-that for you today. First, I wanted to share that I did a little interview over at Hudson Valley Quilts. There is a pattern giveaway in the post, so be sure to go check it out and enter.
I've still been busy working on my Arkansas Traveler quilt, but I did manage to finish the paper piecing and trimming. What a relief! I'm hoping to get the blocks sewn together this week, but I'm leaving for Quilt Market on Thursday so I'm not sure there will be time. I'll share if I do though!
As much as I love this quilt I'm working on, and I really think the finished product will be perfect in my house, I do miss sewing with a big variety of colors. So much so that I put together a bundle for whatever is next (the photo at the top of this post). It started with ordering some fabrics and then I added from my stash. The new fabrics in the stack are from October Afternoon's Sidewalks line and Joel Dewberry's Bungalow line and are currently available in shops. You may also recognize some of Violet Craft's Waterfront Park in there. She put such great stash builders into her latest line – must haves!
If any shop owners are heading to Houston this week for Quilt Market, we will be doing a Schoolhouse Session on Friday at 3:05 to show off Vintage Quilt Revival. I hope you will come check it out!

Circular Edge
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. I spent both days traveling to the city for various birthday and Mother's Day parties – May is a very, very busy month in our family. I did manage to get a photo of me and my kiddos yesterday. Usually I'm at the other end of the camera so it's always a special treat.
I wasn't able to spend any time at my sewing machine, but I did finish up my newest mini quilt last Friday. This quilt was so fun to make. Mostly because of the great fabrics from Laura Gunn. The colors are really amazing!
When making this quilt, I first cut my neutral squares at 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. Initially I thought this was going to be a pillow, so I set it up to finish at 18″ x 18″. This means there are 9 squares across and 9 squares down (for a total of 81). I pieced those together first, and then created my quilt sandwich for quilting. The neutral fabrics I used are all Free Spirit Designer Solids – Pearl, Sand Dune and Dogwood.
After that was all set up, I started placing out my circles until I came up with a layout that I liked. I used Heat n Bond Lite to fuse the circles to the squares.
After I was done ironing everything into place, I did the quilting. I'm not sure if this is a weird order to go about the process, but I thought it would be fun/smart to combine the applique and quilting steps. (As opposed to appliqueing the circles onto the squares, and then sewing them together, creating the quilt sandwich, and quilting).
At first I started just going around the edge of each circle, but after one row I changed my mind and decided on something a little different. So I ripped out those stitches and started quilting 4 straight lines through the middle of each row and column. Just something a bit unexpected.
From the beginning, when I was thinking about this project, I envisioned raw edges fraying in the finished quilt. I've washed it a couple times now and it's only now starting to fray a little. I think I need to throw it back in a couple more times. I'm really enjoying the texture it's creating.
This week I'm hoping to sit down and do some design work, and also get back to work on my Simply Style work in progress. Finger's crossed!

Edges by Laura Gunn
*Lots* of eye candy for you today! Last week I received a little bit of designer Laura Gunn's new line, Edges, in the mail. It arrived courtesy of Michael Miller Fabrics. I absolutely love the colors she chose for her latest collection.
As I was laying out the charms to take pictures, I was getting more and more excited to cut into them. I wanted to really feature all these great colors.
Inspired by this print from the line…
And this amazing quilt by my mom (hi mom!)…
I decided to make something with circles. I cheated a bit and used my Sizzix die cutter to cut these out.
They are 1-1/2″ in diameter. Before I cut them, I iron Heat n Bond Lite to the back of my charms, as I am going to fuse the circles onto fabric before quilting.
I spent Wednesday playing with the layout. The neutral squares are 2″ x 2″ finished. I can't wait to share the completed mini quilt with you soon!
Edges is now available in stores. You can find it at Fat Quarter Shop.

Feisty independent Greg Orman is polling well against GOP Senator Pat Roberts, a shill for Big Money in this reddest of red states.
Watch some of the most outlandish statements about our changing climate at last week's Values Voter Summit.
In remarks made at a secret Koch donor conference and leaked to The Nation, the Senate minority leader doubles down on obstructionism and crony capitalism.
Does David Bromwich's idea of a Burkean left amount to anything more than contempt for Obama?
Neocon think tanks get millions from wealthy donors, which they use to game the system, buy influence—and push for regime change.
There is much to celebrate in Mississippi, and yet America still needs a year of action on voting rights.
This is what happens when Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell, Tom Cotton, Cory Gardner and a gang of the world's richest people meet behind closed doors.
Hint: it's the one that defends him whenever he launches into a sexist tirade.
The mainstream and liberal press's quixotic search for a 'good' conservative merely reinforces the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Instead of rescuing forgotten truths, neocons like Charles Krauthammer devise novel fallacies.

Warm and Rustic Texas Thanksgiving Menu
Get the look:
This refreshing beer cocktail balances a malty bock-style beer with fruit-tinged apricot brandy.
Combine beer, vodka, liqueur, apricot brandy, lemon juice, and Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker. Cover with lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled (about 30 seconds). Pour into a 12- to 16-oz. glass filled with ice. Garnish, if desired.
Note: We tested with Shiner Bock beer, Tito's Handmade Vodka, and Averna Amaro Italian bitter liqueur.
Southern Living NOVEMBER 2013
Serve this earthy, rustic spread with grilled bread and Cranberry-Pecan Chutney.
1. Rinse livers, and pat dry with paper towels. Place livers in a large bowl, and add 1 cup milk; cover and chill 1 hour. Drain livers, and return to bowl. Add remaining 1 cup milk; cover and chill 1 hour. Drain livers, and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Finely chop bacon.
3. Cook livers, in batches, in hot drippings over medium heat 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and done. Remove livers with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, and wipe skillet clean.
4. Sauté garlic, jalapeño, and next 2 ingredients in melted butter in skillet over medium-high heat 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Stir in bourbon, salt, and pepper; simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat, and cool 10 minutes.
5. Process livers, bacon, and garlic mixture in a food processor 60 to 90 seconds or until smooth. Add softened butter, and process 10 seconds or until blended. Transfer to a bowl; cover and chill 4 hours.
Note: Chopped, cooked bacon may be omitted from the pâté and used as a topping instead, if desired.
Southern Living NOVEMBER 2013
Serve this versatile, zingy condiment with the pâté as a toast topper and with the turkey as a relish.
1. Bring first 8 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove cloves with a slotted spoon, and discard.
2. Add cranberries; increase heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes or just until cranberries begin to pop. Discard cinnamon stick and ginger. Stir in apricots and orange zest; remove from heat. Cool completely. Serve immediately, or chill up to 2 days. Stir in pecans just before serving.

Southern Living NOVEMBER 2013
While cooking a whole bird is traditional, most chefs smartly cook the white and dark meat separately to achieve the best flavor and perfect level of doneness. Brining and smoking the breast and curing and roasting the legs yields the most succulent results.
1. Process first 6 ingredients in a food processor 40 to 45 seconds or until finely chopped. Place turkey legs in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish, and rub with salt mixture. Cover and chill 12 to 15 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 400°. Transfer turkey to a roasting pan, discarding any accumulated liquid. Pour broth over turkey; let stand 30 minutes. Bake 1 hour.

Give your dressing an extra-savory depth of flavor with the addition of humble canned, smoked oysters.
1. Preheat oven to 400º. Stir together cornbread and bread cubes in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sausage, and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes or until butter turns a light orange. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.

Easy seared Brussels sprouts get salty-sweet undertones from crispy ham and long-cooked onions.

Toss sprouts with 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp. kosher salt. Place sprouts, cut sides down, in hot jelly-roll pan, and bake 20 to 25 minutes. Toss with ham and caramelized onions.
Southern Living NOVEMBER 2013
Begin with a toasted pecan crust, layer with cream cheese and a classic pumpkin filling, and then gild the lily with a creamy meringue.
1. Prepare Tart Crust: Process pecans in a food processor 10 to 12 seconds or until finely ground.
2. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer 1 minute or until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and salt. Add egg, beating just until blended; stir in vanilla.

3. Preheat oven to 350°. Line crust with aluminum foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 20 minutes. Remove weights and foil; bake 12 to 14 more minutes or until crust is light brown. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 30 minutes). Increase temperature to 425°.
4. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg at low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in orange zest. Spread over bottom of crust.
5. Prepare Pumpkin Layer: Whisk together pumpkin and next 5 ingredients until smooth; pour over cream cheese layer in crust. Cover tart edges with aluminum foil.

7. Gently blot any moisture that collected on top of tart during chilling with a paper towel. Spread Honey Swiss Meringue over tart. Brown meringue using a kitchen torch, holding torch 1 to 2 inches from meringue and moving torch back and forth.

Get your weekly dose of Knockouts action on tonight's Impact. Tonight's show is live, so be sure to into Spike TV at the special start time of 8pm ET.
Discuss the show in the comments!
So tonight will be TNT vs Madison and Gail plus the AJ/Claire/Dixie storyline.
Looking foward to TnT but they need to drop the AJ/Dixie storyline because it's just a wild mess lol
i agree they started the angle aj/dixie and got lost dont know where to go just drop it
AJ Styles said there was a back story to it.
Wonder what it is and of its strong enough to keep fans intetested
Apparently it deals with who Claire is and AJ Styles said we would see a part of him we never thought about.
i want to see velvet sky with the knockout belt before she desides to join angelenia love
Asides from the Knockouts I really love the X-Division at TNA
Can't wait for the KO's :D
The ending to that match was anticlimatic. Anywho Crimson is yummy
Madison has a crush on EARL D:
Someone called it..though they thought it was going to be during the tag match and not now…
ewww wtf TNA D:
Madison Rayne appearance.
I know some people on here called Earl being the crush so I just want to say kudos to you. Now back to the crush being Earl that messy as hell. Earl Hebner? Really? I can see Brian Hebner but Earl? I'm dead.
They officially have ruined this storyline
Whoever wrote this storyline should be smacked on the head.
Now I bet during the Tag Match Madison is going to be flirting with Earl and is gonna ruin the match -.- Thanks TNA.
What if she is doing it so they win? Remember that Earl Hebner officiates most KO matches.
And she did have an affair with Slick Johnson who officiated KO matches back along during an angle, in order to get him to favour TBP. I can't remember who the feud was with though…
Who is this Claire Lynch woman! For goodness sakes she makes Kelly Kelly look like an Oscar nominee! I just don't see the point in bringing in random person off the street for a supposed high profile storyline like this unless Claire is either a wrestler or she's legitimately related to someone with power or status in the company!
And she is supposed to be an actress from town.
Yea! forget the Bellas $10 acting lessons Claire opted for the $1 special!
She looks a bit like Taeler Hendrix to me, which didn't help and she could've been given she cuts a promo like most of the OVW roster. It has become my guilty pleasure though, the tackiness and kitsch of it, I'm willing to stick with it just because it reminds me of WWE pre-P.G. cheese.
I love these X-Division matches, there so good !!
Yikes! That was a stiff spot fest!
TNT ! I miss them so much D:
That match was pretty good. I'm liking that Flip dude and the Darsow guy has a nice ass.
Tara called Miss Tessmacher boo. How sweet!
I love Brooke Tessmacher theme
"When I tease you touch!"
My favourite is Gail´s theme, is just awesome!
Pretty short but decent match. It's wasn't good or bad just there.
Madison got crushed! I haven't seen her job like that in awhile!
Since her Beautiful People Days lol
Gosh, this TNA storylines just make me wanna vomit, like seriously, this is just embarrasing to watch!
Is that Kenny King? OMG I can't believe it.
KENNY KING! & JOHNNY YUMA! I'm crying.

A tick species common to Florida may be behind the spread of a newly discovered disease named the Heartland virus, which has sickened at least eight people since 2009, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday afternoon.
Called the lone star tick for the light brown dot that females carry on their back, the eight-legged bug is spread throughout the eastern United States, including Florida.
It favors second-growth woods, wherever deer and turkeys are found.
The tick's stomping grounds stretch from the northern rim of Lake Okeechobee north, said University of Florida entomologist Phil Kaufman. It has been spotted, [More]
