I'm Jake von Slatt, a maker, tinkerer, fabricator, and all around techno dilettante living and creating just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I'm interested in the blending of 19th century aesthetics and technology with the modern world and showcasing projects of that ilk here on SteampunkWorkshop.com. While I eschew the temptation to rigidly define the term "Steampunk," I do know that it has something to do with the intersection of technology and romance. More after the break

We got our first Cuisinart in 1982. It served us well for more than a decade so when it finally gave up the ghost we purchased another one. We were dismayed to find that the new Cuisinart Custom 14 had changed the interlock on the mixing bowl and top. There was now an additional tab so that the large plunger had to be in place and you were limited to the 2 inch diameter hole for feeding to process while the machine was running. It was annoying but we lived with it. But the plastic tab on this complicated interlock eventually broke. So we decided to design a 3-D printable replacement part that would return the operation to the way the old-style Cuisinart worked.

My family and I are headed to Burning Man this year.
I have been twice in the past and have always stayed in a tent. I was reasonably comfortable, however sleeping late was problematic. As soon as the sun rose over the RV I had pitched my tent next to, it simply got too hot to continue sleeping.
So this year I built a Hexayurt to stay in. The Hexayurt is a structure originally developed for disaster response. It's a hexagonal hut built out of foam insulating panels and super strong bi-filament fiberglass reinforced tape. The particular design I chose is made from 12 4' x 8' panels. Six of the panels are cut diagonally and connected together to form six triangles. These triangles become the roof. The other six panels are laid on their side and set out in a hexagon and make the walls of the Hexayurt. The foil surface of the panels and their insulating qualities make this an ideal structure for desert camping.
I won't go into too much detail concerning the construction of my Hexayurt. If you are interested, you should go to Hexayurt.com the repository for all such information
My Hexayurt will be shipped to the playa on the Boston burning truck. We'll be flying in at the beginning of the event and taking the bus from Reno to Black Rock city. However, the Burner Express stop where we'll arrive is about half a mile from the place where the Hexayurt will be deposited. Keep on reading to see how I'll deal with that situation.
We're headed to Burning Man this year! I am in the process of building a Hexayurt for us to stay in on the playa. To keep it cool I'm going to build a solar powered swamp cooler. These are a few of the components that I've gathered so far. The whole build process will be here in the upcoming weeks.

A quick tech note from the day job some of you might find useful.
GPartEd is a fantastic free tool for copying and resizing disk partitions, but cloning an entire Windows disk often requires tweaking boot sectors and records after the partitions are copied and this is not always easy or intuitive. The following is a simple method to clone a Windows disk quickly without all the messing around with boot sector issues. I just used this on Windows Server 2008 but it should work on Windows Server 2012, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Hi Folks!
Come join me at the 2014 Steampunk World's Fair in Piscataway New Jersey! I'll be bringing my Victorian RV and many of the steampunk objects I've made over the years. There will be an opportunity to take a tour of the bus on Saturday and I may even have the 3D printer that I built last year up and running for you to see!
At this point I believe that the Steampunk World's Fair is the largest and oldest Steampunk con and it is certainly one that has always delivered when it come to the musical acts performing all weekend long.
Come join us! It's going to be awesome!
Your car stereo. Your computer. Your MP3 player. Your phone. We've never had more technology enabling us to listen to music, and that technology has never been more mobile. And with services like Tunes, Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp Last.fm, GrooveShark, et al, we've never had more ways of discovering new music. And due to incredible advancements in personal recording technology, it's never been easier for amateurs to produce songs on our own, load them on every service and sync them to every device. There is recorded music everywhere, and everyone is making it.

So there's this thing. It's called the Grilled Cheese Invitational, and it's pretty much what it sounds like. Their motto is 'Bread, Butter, Cheese, Victory!' and they're holding the last one ever this year. I'm competing and it's going to be great. This is about fun. It's about being weird and loving it. It is about the future of what grilled cheese will be, post-apocolypse, when all we have is canned foodstuffs.
My sandwich is called the CAN!CAN!CAN! and it features canned butter, canned cheese and canned bread. It's going to be a ton of fun. To help fund my way in this endeavor I have an Indiegogo campaign that has some awesome rewards based on the graphic I've created to represent my dazzling creation. You should check it out. Watch the video, because it's seriously one of the funniest things I've done in a while.
I'll be wearing a can-can outfit while grilling s'whiches. Because surely those will survive the apocolypse.
Check out my indieGoGo can-pain!
A couple of weeks ago I bought a new vehicle, a 2007 Lincoln Town Car. The car came with a Satellite Navigation radio with THX certified sound. It sounded fantastic but there was no auxiliary input! Remembering this story I saw on Hackaday a little while ago, I decide to tap into the CD changer audio-in.
Here are some details plus a video tutorial on designing a part for 3D printing with the free Autodesk 123D Design software.
When I built the Girl Genius Radio Theater Microphone I had some brass plates water-jet cut and I bought a vibratory tumbler to polish them. The tumbler came from Eastwood and while it did a very nice job on the parts for the microphone, it failed shortly thereafter. When I took it apart I found that the bearings in the motor were shot, they had been destroyed by the vibration.
So I built a sturdier, more powerful tumbler myself.
A fiddler tunes. A woman on upright bass stretches her hands. The banjoist adjusts his strap while the mandolinist takes a drink. In this moment before a song, the possibilities of sound are only as limited as the experience and the vision of the artists onstage. From the lineup of instruments, you might expect a traditional bluegrass tune from such a group, but why not arrangements of Bach or a Rush cover or a surreal ballad in the style of David Bowie?
An instrument can really play any type music you make it play. It's true!

My friend Len Solomon writes: "Here's a clip of the Hungarian Dance #5, performed on the Majestic Bellowphone. The piece was originally scored for 4-hand bellowphone, but I come to find out that I'm the only one who plays this contraption, so I used my version; adapted for 2 hands and a foot."
Hi folks! I'm going to be making a concerted effort to post more videos of my projects. I'll continue with the step-by-step photos and write-ups but I'm going to augment those with video overviews and to that end I've acquired a new video camera and set up a Youtube Channel.

Some time ago I found an antique White sewing machine at the dump. At first glance it looked to be in really good shape but upon closer inspection it was clear that it had sat in a damp environment for a long, long time. The hide glue on most of the wooded parts was no longer holding them together, the machine itself had rust inside and out, and the cast iron treadle frame was broken in two places. The machine sat in the corner of my office for a couple of years until I found a portable sewing machine from the 1970's that was almost unused and worked perfectly. That's when I decide to combine the two and make this a useful piece of furniture once again.

Welcome to Rejectville, Population You!
Raise your hand if you have never heard any of the following lines in one form or another:
- Let's be friends.
- Unfortunately, we don't have a position that meets your unique qualifications at this time.
- We regret to inform you that we cannot grant you acceptance to X University.
- You are very talented, and I expect you to do great things...elsewhere.
If you've finished reading this list and your hand is raised, please bring it down to face level. Cup your hand to your cheek. Pull it back three to five inches and traveling at an increased velocity slap yourself firmly in the face. Why? If you haven't experienced rejection, this exercise serves as a simulation of what rejection feels like. Actually, a slap in the face is much more pleasant than rejection. Rejection is more of a swift punch to the solar plexus. But since punching oneself in the solar plexus requires dexterity and the knowledge of the location of your solar plexus, for demonstration purposes you must forgive me for choosing the former.

The news is welcome for marine biologists, but may be ominous for some vacationers this summer. Great white sharks, the never-stopping eating machines of the seas, are enjoying a strong comeback. Experts say that in the eastern north part of the Pacific Ocean, the sharks is now more likely growing rather than endangered.

Published in Green
Keywords: Great white sharks, Pacific Ocean, shark populations, marine biology
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "The good news is that white sharks are returning to levels of abundance," George Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research says. Burgess led the new study, which was published earlier this week.
The recent findings are in stark contrast to the alarming low numbers left by a 2011 Stanford University study. The results from that survey led to petitions by conservationists to add white sharks to state and federal endangered lists, Burgess said.
Light up the darkness -- by going here --
"We stand firmly behind the findings of our study, and our ongoing research only increases our confidence in its accuracy," Stanford researcher Barbara Block said in an emailed statement.
Great whites are the largest of the predatory big-toothed, flesh-eating sharks, growing as big as 20 feet long.
The growth in sharks, Burgess says is the result of 40 years of U.S. federal protections for marine mammals that sharks feed on, especially sea lions and seals. White sharks have also been protected as a prohibited species, making it illegal to bring a great white to dock.
Shark experts reportedly "did a double take" when the Stanford researchers calculated the population of adult and near-adult great whites along the central California coast at 219.
Burgess' group of 10 international shark scientists set out to test the Stanford data and methods. The group pegged the entire population of white sharks along the whole California coast at more than 2,000 and likely rising.
Stanford researchers, Burgess said, made assumptions about the white shark population from those feeding off seals and sea lions at Farallon Islands and Tomales Point. Scientists should have taken into account sharks that feed elsewhere and for juvenile sharks, whose numbers appear to be growing.
The Stanford study also made comparisons between the low number of sharks and the greater numbers of killer whales and polar bears. That comparison was misleading given the greater ease of counting whales, which must surface for air, and bears on land, Burgess says.
"This is a real pleasure for us in the biology business to be talking about because it's a success story," Burgess said.

"The words that were printed on the cards really express my feelings on how I felt toward the friends & family members who support me during my time of grief."
"Easy to use the site and delivery was well ahead of expected timeline. I did replace the studio picture with one of my own but it was well rendered by Tiny Prints. Doing it again and listening to wife's advice, I would omit the "Thank You" and make the card more generic for multiple occasion usage in addition to simply thanks."
"After scouring the net for wedding "Thank You" cards, I finally settled on these and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The result was just what I wanted: simple, affordable and to the point! I procrastinated on ordering the cards and wanted them ASAP, but I decided to get standard shipping (it was free) and to my surprise they arrived a few days early! Thank you tinyprints! ~mariana p."
"We were able to customize our message and choose any font and size. A remarkable finished product! The picture quality was exceptional, very sharp and beautiful. Will use tinyprints for all future needs."
"Loved this style of card! I used as a thank you note, so the size of the card worked perfectly. The paper was of excellent quality. Highly recommend this product."

This book is packed with 156 pages of high quality, beautiful color images taken in the historical cemeteries of the northeastern United States and is a story of life and death in America as told through beautiful cemetery art photography accompanied by meaningful epitaphs from cemeteries up to 300 years old.
View 68 cemeteries in 224 beautiful photographs that breathe life into existence of those who have passed before us, and who are now enshrined for eternity in landscaped paradises.
John wasn't born with a camera around his neck or a cemetery in his backyard. Ten years ago, he was neither a photographer nor did he possess a passion for or enjoyment of cemeteries. John's art evolved in a search for his family roots; it was genealogy that brought him to the cemetery. Before the serendipitous discovery of peace & sublime tranquility, John was blowing his brains out in the music business. Nearly 30 years of head banging assaults on his nerves was bled before he retired in the mid-90's. From there, it was not too long after the inspiration struck a second time. This time, John hoped for greater amity with his spirit. So far – it's working out very well for him.

"The Barge"
As I have reflected back on our time of being on "The Barge" I am overwhelmed with the generosity of Carl Marshburn, who owns the Henrietta III and "The Barge". He has been so kind to us and so generous with his resources. I can't say thank you enough.
Also, I am in awe of the many people that have made The Anchor their home through our time on "The Barge". You all have truly been a blessing to me and words cannot express how grateful I have been to journey with you all through this time. You all are passionate in your love for the Lord and in your love for one another. I have beautiful images in my mind of standing and singing ------- and people are walking along the River Walk getting a glimpse at what "church" can be. I have images of eating donuts and drinking coffee ------ and in that simple moment walls of division come tumbling down through that grace-filled act. I have images of dogs coming to worship -------- and in that simple act God smiles as all creation tells of God's glory. I have images of strangers holding hands and praying ------ I have images of people sharing their experiences with tear-filled eyes ------- I have images of reading scripture -------- I have images of black people & white people & asian people singing with one voice ------- I have images of children running -------- and in that moment, I hear Jesus say: "I make all things new".

Hebrews 11.1-19
This coming Sunday we will be focusing on Hebrews 11.1-19. This has one of the most famous passages from Hebrews in it. It is verse 1: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." This sets up the rest of the 18 verses. Over and over again we hear the words "by faith". We see "by faith" in vv 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 17. And in the midst of this pericope we then hear of a longing for a heavenly city. In v16 it says: "But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one." The question that comes to me from this verse is whether we desire that better country? that heavenly one?
In Burlap to Cashmere's song titled "The Other Country" they sing:
Draw near the lamb's awaiting
Where the river runs thru the sky's align
From that painting of a ship
We have all been chosen
To the painter's creation
In his dream design
I can feel it over the line
I see the other country
I see the other side
Do not be afraid of this earthly city
Do not be afraid when the pharaoh's nigh
In the midst of the stressful and divisive political season let us remember that we do not need to be afraid of the pharaohs that are trying to divide us and strike fear into us. Our hope is in something greater than the republican party or the democratic party. Our hope is found in something that is bigger than the political juggernaut that is trying to destroy everything in its path. Instead, we as the church see something different. We see with eyes of faith another city ----- a heavenly city ------ a better country. For the slain lamb of God has called us to his side. And uses people like us to make things new.

Hebrews 1:3
In Jesus we truly see who God is ----- and in Jesus we see the imprint of the divine that has come in the flesh. He has impacted us with the good news of God's grace. That impact truly changes us and has caused humanity and the very cosmos to change.
Christ's word has power ----- the power to sustain all things. That sustaining word holds together the very fabric of the universe. And the telos is found in Christ becoming the all in all. For this great God YHWH has made a purification for sins. Before, this bend that humanity caused in the creation had great influence upon the very cosmos. But now, Christ has made a purification which affected that bend and is making straight the path before us.
This imprint that God has placed upon the universe is found in a person. In the person of Jesus we see the powerful word revealed. In the person of Jesus we see humanity being created again. In the person of Jesus we see God's glory. In the person of Jesus we see YHWH ----- the great I AM.
This changes everything. For Christ sat down ----- so that we can know how to stand. Christ died ----- so that we can know how to live. Christ was born ----- so that we might know how to die. Christ spoke ----- so that we might know how to listen. Christ healed ----- so that we might know how to trust. Christ fed ----- so that we might know how to eat. Christ purified ----- so that we might know how to be. Christ rose from the dead ----- so that we might speak from the ashes.
A long time ago I wrote in a poem: "I am heaven and you are my answer." There is a question ----- I am not sure what it is ----- and I am not sure where it comes from ----- but, I do know the answer to it. It is us.
The question is found in the homeless guy on the platform in the NYC Subway saying: "The angels have dirty faces." The question is found in the loneliness and isolation of the man who sits at home by himself listening to televangelists and memorizing his Bible ----- but can't bring himself to be in fellowship with other believers. The question is found in the business owner asking: "What's in it for me?" ----- knowing the whole time that wasn't the real question. The question is found in the jailer who falls as Paul & Silas's feet saying "What must I do to be saved?" The question is a heart beat, a smile, a step, a drop of water, a blade of grass ----- and the answer is us!

Hebrews 2:9
"but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone."
I don't feel crazy for seeing you ----- but I do feel a great deal of love for you. I do see Jesus. I see you in DeAnne and our kids. I see you in my friends. I see you in baptism. I see Jesus while mowing the grass. I see Jesus in sunsets and dirty walls. I see Jesus in the homeless guys waiting on a ride Sunday mornings to go and eat breakfast. I see Jesus in marriage vows and confession. I see Jesus in forgiveness and scripture. I see Jesus in communion. I see Jesus in the river. I see Jesus in love and repentance. I see Jesus in his disciples as they laugh together. I see Jesus in my parents. I see Jesus in my grandmother telling stories of God making us all different ----- like snow flakes. I see Jesus in our inabilities and lack. But I do see Jesus.
Jesus' glory is based on his suffering ----- and it is through his suffering ----- God tastes death. I love you Lord ----- and I am thankful that you tasted death for all of us. It is because grace that you tasted death. It is God's grace that allows us to see you. It is God's grace that made you a little lower than the angels. It is God's grace that makes us part of the everyone.

Acts 17.1-9
Imagine just for a moment being the people that are accused of turning the world upside down? What a great compliment that would be in today's day and age. The church would be living into its peculiar and radical nature of proclaiming that there is another King ------ and it is not Caesar, or President Obama, or Shimon Peres, or Senator Kay Hagan, or Senator Richard Burr. Instead our allegiance is to the God who overcame death, hell, and the grave. Imagine the powerful establishment throughout our cities forming mobs to thwart this proclamation. What a compliment that would be!
So my question is ------- why does this not happen?

One Year
As a pastor I feel like this has been a year to grow in faith. To peal away the many layers of what it means to be the church ------- and attempt to get down to the core -------- it is an intriguing and exhausting process. Continuously I have people ask me how it is going? I have learned that I don't even have the language to answer that. For my vocabulary has changed ------ and that is mostly due to the fact that I can't use words like buildings, land, and money. When you stop talking about buildings, land, and money ------- what are you left with?
What you are left with is discipleship, but it is not a discipleship that is programatic or didactic or top-down management. Instead it is a discipleship that is relational, compassionate, restorative, and eclectic. It is a discipleship that has to do with following Jesus ------- because followers of Jesus actually follow Jesus. Therefore, we do not follow buildings, land, money, programing, smoke machines, laser shows ------- which in many ways are just an expensive ad for something cheap. Instead we follow a revolutionary Messiah who calls us to lay down our own lives for the benefit of others ------ for the common good.
As I reflect upon this last year I have hope. Hope for what the church universal can be. For we are called to a life that is radical ------- but at the same time so simple. We are called to a life that looks like Jesus ------- not to a life that is a never-ending committee meeting. The Holy Spirit fills us with the power to embody hope to the world. And in that calling to lay down our lives, we will find who we are truly to be. This is the place where we have peeled back all of the distractions of what people have made the "church" ------- and instead we can go and be the church by being a sent people ------- for God so loves the world that he has sent us.

In the book of Jeremiah 30.17 it says: "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: 'It is Zion; no one cares for her!'" Here the Lord is saying that he will restore the Israelites health, heal their wounds, and restore their status. God's restoration is holistic ----- it is a restoration of our relationship with creation, with community, and with ourselves.
Lesslie Newbigin writes: "To man thus in bondage and in self-contradiction, the message of salvation is sent. Salvation means that man is released from this bondage, and that the contradictions of which we have spoken are overcome ..... It means the healing of that which is wounded, the mending of that which is broken, the setting free of that which is bound."
We believe that we are called to live lives of restoration ------ where we live as God's ambassadors in the world ------- offering healing, health, and the restoration of the status of people as children of God. The Lord has called us to live lives of embodying hope ------ therefore the miracle of restoration can be seen through our actions and words.
An important part of our restoration with creation is our willingness to live simplified lives. Therefore, we are called to re-use, recycle, and re-purpose. Because God's restoration is holistic we also know that it is of vital importance that we live out our calling of restoration through simple actions that benefit all of the world.

Hebrews 6.13-20
In v15 we see that Abraham responds with patient endurance based on God's promise and oath to him. In the midst of that patient endurance he obtains the promise ----- the promise that was embodied in a son. The two unchangeable things are God's promise and God's oath. In v18 we can then find our refuge in those two unchangeable things. For in refuge we can seize the hope ------ the hope that is based on God's promise and God's oath to us. A promise that the Lord will bless us ------ so that we then can live lives that are a blessing to the world. A blessing that embodies hope in real and tangible ways.
In referring to those who have taken refuge, the commentator John Calvin writes: "By these words he intimates that we do not truly trust in God except when we forsake every other protection and flee for refuge to his sure promise, and feel assured that it is our only safe asylum." In this refuge we then find hope from the cares of this world. But it is not just a hope that is future oriented, but instead it is a hope that is found in the now. For this hope denotes a firmness, something that we can hold in our hands.
Continuing to v19 we find the image of the anchor. In this verse we see that the anchor is useful. Sometimes it is useful as a tool, and sometimes it is useful because it gives us hope
just by being on the boat. The anchor gives us hope because we know if the seas get rough, we can drop the anchor to give us firmness in the midst of the storm. John Calvin continues to comment on this group of verses by saying: "As long as we sojourn in this world, we stand not on firm ground, but are tossed here and there as it were in the midst of the sea, and that indeed very turbulent; for Satan is incessantly stirring up innumerable storms, which would immediately upset and sink our vessel, were we not to cast our anchor fast in the deep. For nowhere a haven appears to our eyes, but wherever we look water alone is in view; yea, waves also arise and threaten us; but as the anchor is cast through the waters into a dark and unseen place, and while it lies hid there, keeps the vessel beaten by the waves from being overwhelmed; so must our hope be fixed on the invisible God."
The anchor is sure and steadfast, safe and firm. From the anchor is a cable or chain that comes and links the boat to the anchor. That chain is to be God's people ------ that have committed to be linked together by the very blood of the lamb. For the chain links to the anchor ------ which is Christ. And Jesus has entered into the heavenlies, the inner shrine, as our great high priest ------- and now his followers are linked to him while also linked to the world. In this cable we then embody hope ------ for we are to no longer live for our own best interest ------ but instead live our lives for the common good. This is a life of self-emptying and self-abandonment ------ and in that we embody hope.
We have been impacted by this Jesus and now we are to be trained to be ambassadors of this good news. Ambassadors that proclaim a hope that is bigger than our circumstances and situations. For in that embodied hope we then can find who we are to be ----- one who imitates the ways of Christ in this world.

Sunday, April 13th @ 9.45am
The question that we will be looking at this Sunday will be: "What has changed since the resurrection?"
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
Sin & Salvation
I was looking over Lesslie Newbigin's book Sin and Salvation and found this great section on salvation. I had to share this challenging question that he lays out for us.
"But when all this has been said, there are still two serious difficulties which have to be considered. The first is this: love must be shown not only in deeds, but in deeds which are actually directed to the need of the other person. If I am drowning in a well and another man jumps into the well and rescues me, while he himself is drowned in the effort, then there can be no doubt about that man's love. He has given his life for me. But if I am attacked by a tiger I need a different kind of help. My friend may jump into the well and drown himself, but that will not rescue me from the tiger. In that case, even though my friend may jump into the well and drown himself, but that will not rescue me from the tiger. In that case, even though my friend gave up his life, I cannot say that he loved me or saved me. Christ gave up His life on the cross, but how does that save me? How does it rescue me from my sin? Unless we can show that there is some connection between Christ's death and my sin I cannot believe that Christ's death is a proof of love for me, or that it has saved me from sin. Clearly it is not enough simply to say that the cross is a revelation of God's love, unless we can answer these questions."

WikiWorship Question #5
On Sunday, April 6th at 9.45am we will be gathering for WikiWorship at Hell's Kitchen (118 Princess Street - Wilmington). We will be covering this question that came to us online: "Why do Christians tend to pick and choose verses out of the Bible as scriptural support, yet dismiss other verses that may contradict their claims? Is it not okay to view the Bible as bits and pieces, rather than a whole?" All are invited to come.

South Sudan's President Salva Kiir (C) arrives at the Amahoro stadium, in Kigali, on April 7,2014, during a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of Rwanda's genocide.AFP PHOTO / SIMON MAINA
UNITED NATIONS, United States: Conflict in South Sudan has triggered a serious risk of famine that will kill up to 50,000 children within months if immediate action is not taken, the UN warned on Friday.
The African country has experienced high levels of malnutrition since it gained independence in 2011, UNICEF said, and conditions have worsened since ethnic conflict broke out between troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and supporters of his former deputy Riek Machar.
"Now the ongoing conflict has pushed them to the edge -- unless treatment is scaled up immediately, up to 50,000 children under the age of five are likely to die," the agency said.
It estimates that 3.7 million people are at risk of "food insecurity."
"Sadly, worse is yet to come. If conflict continues, and farmers miss the planting season, we will see child malnutrition on a scale never before experienced here," said Jonathan Veitch, UNICEF representative in South Sudan.
"If we cannot get more funds and better access to reach malnourished children in South Sudan, tens of thousands of under-fives will die."
UNICEF's immediate goal is to treat 150,000 severely malnourished children under five with food supplements, vitamins and water purification tablets, and to help pregnant or nursing women.
To do so, it needs $38 million but has so far raised only $4.6 million.
The United Nations, whose World Food Programme stocks in the country have been looted, has warned that the fighting puts in danger harvests that are crucial to staving off a worse humanitarian disaster.
Nearly 900,000 people have been displaced by the conflict.

It had been several years since my last visit to this casual restaurant, but since I had recently moved back to the area I decided to stop for lunch with a friend as I had remarked how great their hot lobster roll was and their New England clam chowder.

by Theresa Brown
posted Apr 7 2011 9:24AM
Here's my Lunch Today from Tidewater Bariatrics.... Lasagna with Tomato Sauce Okay I'm coming up on four weeks and I have lost 8lbs on my weight loss journey. I'm feeling so good! Now for me to say that losing weight is not a challenge, I would not be telling you the truth, but with the help of Dr.G. and the great staff at Tidewater Bariatrics, I'm doing it. I love all the support that I get from Tidewater Bariatrics. What makes it even better is that the food is good!! It's really good and I'm loving the shakes and puddings. If you want to join me on this journey, which I hope that you will, give Tidewater Bariatrics a call at 757-644-6819 or log onto www.twb4u.com

Preadolescence is a stage of human development following early childhood and prior to adolescence. It generally ends with the beginning of puberty, but may also be defined as ending with the start of the teenage years. For example, dictionary definitions generally designate it as 10–13 years. It may also be defined as the period from 9–14 years. One can also distinguish middle childhood and preadolescence – middle childhood from approximately 5–8 years, as opposed to the time children are generally considered to reach preadolescence. Preadolescence can bring its own challenges and anxieties, and, unlike most of the preceding phases, crucial elements of preadolescence are starkly different for boys and girls.

Ron Burgundy to cover Canadian Olympic Curling Trials
Nov 25, 2013, 11:11 AM EST
Ron Burgundy is venturing into sports. Not just any sport, but curling. In Canada.
In his "Anchorman" character, Will Ferrell will cover the Roar of the Rings, Canada's Olympic Curling Trials, for TV broadcaster TSN in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Sunday.
The Roar of the Rings is a week-long event. Burgundy will call live game action with curling broadcaster Vic Rauter, according to TSN.
"Marked by the gods of broadcasting and placed into this shimmering green sphere like a golden egg in hay, chosen like an unclean jackal by Noah himself, I accept your hallowed task and sing out with a battle cry worthy of your love and your wisdom," said Burgundy, according to a TSN press release. "And that song is, 'Winnipeg, get ready to paint the town Burgundy!'"
Burgundy returns to the big screen in "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," opening Dec. 20.
"It's an honor to work with such an esteemed colleague," Rauter said. "I'm a huge fan of his work. Who are we talking about again?"
The press release included this bio of the anchorman:
Ron Burgundy is an award-winning News Anchorman and poet. He lives with his wife, Veronica, and dog, Baxter, in San Diego, California. When he is not making models of eighteenth-century sailing ships, he can often be found on the deck of his own boat, The Shining M'Lady, or supervising archeological digs in and around his backyard.
Here's TSN's ad teasing Burgundy's role:
