Date: Tuesday, August 5, 2014
Tysen knocked on the door, knew the password, flashed her boobs and strolled right into our humble abode. Jmac asked her a bunch of questions just to break the ice and get things going. She said she was from California and loved to party, but when he asked what her favorite position was, she answered with the most boring answer one could think of. Tysen said she loved missionary. YAWN! Luckily for us, she was just trying to be a little more demure and reserved. Once J-Mac got her excited and into it, she proved to be quite the entertaining lay. Tysen couldn't help but show how much she loved sex and all the positions J-Mac went through with her. We suspect her favorite was never truly missionary, but if it was by some small chance, it most definitely was not her favorite now. It seemed to us she enjoyed the Pile Driver the most.
Site: In The Vip
Date: Tuesday, November 26, 2013
The weather might be cooling off outside, but things are still as hot as ever inside the VIP spot. We had a sweet bunch of hotties with us this week. They were ready to get laid. The guys were super lucky to be among this group because the girls wanted hard cock. They wanted it more than the guys wanted to give it, but the guys really had no say in the matter because the girls were going to take it any way they could get it. There was a couple pairs of perfect 10 big natural tits bouncing all night. There was also a nice variety of ass lined up for the taking at one point. These parties never get old, and they will remain the king of all parties.

Then its Jmac and Esmi doing what they do best. They find the lovely Tysen and persuade her to jump in our ride and then she proceeds to ride Jmacs cock for some hot sex in the car!

Tom Brady found a way to win, and they rated eight points better than than Thursday's opponent the Jets this week, but the long-term may hinge on when Rob Gronkowski returns. The one-day ratings: AFC EAST Massey Better/Worse 1-day rank Result Miami -2.1 14 4.9 won at Cle 23-10 New England 7.1 -5 4.6 won at Buff 24-21 Buffalo -5.1 5 -2.6 lost vs NE 21-24 NY Jets -5.3 4 -3.3 won vs. TB 18-17 The 1-day rank is the average between how many points better or worse than average each team is on www.masseyratings.com and how many points better or worse the team did in that game than the expected point spread on www.masseyratings.com. A "+5.0" means the team was considered 5 points better than the average team in the league that day.

Shop The Outnet's Giant Clearance Sale Today
Net-a-Porter's end-of-season discounted days may be over, but its sister site, The Outnet, just unrolled an impressive new sale this morning.
With over 2,000 items marked up to 85 percent off, the clearance pushes The Outnet's already staggering deals so far this stuff is basically free. (Not really. But it feels like it.)
The sale lasts a week, but we'd hurry: our friends at the The Outnet estimate they get 29 orders per second during peak shopping times, and we'd think these things—graphic Marni dresses for $209, chunky Alexander Wang heels for $115, preppy Chris Benz overcoats for $299—would pique more than enough interest to warrant a "peak" time.

The potential bad news? That Obama's latest plea on behalf of his health care reform will be greeted by more web site glitches and sticker shock. Within hours of President Barack Obama's appearance with comedian Zach Galifianakis on the Funny or Die website Tuesday, the video of their mock interview had become the number one driver of traffic to HealthCare.gov, and the potentially risky venture into pop cultural irony is being hailed as a success by White House aides. Conservatives mocked Obama for reducing the stature of the presidency by starring in the Between Two Ferns sketch. They also decried the Hangover star for sucking up to power rather than poking it in the eye with humor, as the late Harold Ramis did with alacrity. Still, Obama's desperate pitch to young Americans drew a crowd. Having Hollywood in your hip pocket has its perks.

Fixes for Common "Mom Style" Problems
Now that her daughter's two, this writer admits it's time for a fashion reinvention. Join her in learning how to make mom-friendly style a fashion do.
By Cari Wira Dineen
Sweatshirts and hoodies
In an attempt to cover up our tummies and stay warm, many of us moms opt for a sweatshirt or hoodie. "The idea of a zipper and v-neck is the right thought since it creates a strong vertical, but sweatshirts look sloppy," says Sailer. Especially when dotted with spit-up. Enter a structured jacket that will hide our belly fat, keep us warm, and still define our bodies. Sailer suggests looking for a jacket that nips in just a bit to create a waist (even if you don't think you have one any more). Layer it over a fitted tee and your new jeans and voila, you — as a mom — only better.

Horsemen TransformationsTalk0
this wiki
Redirected from Reaper Form
Amongst the powers bestowed upon the Four Horsemen, the most devastating is their ability to take on large and very powerful forms for brief periods of time. The particulars of the transformation differ between the Horsemen. Only War and Death's transformations have been revealed.
Chaos FormEdit
| Focus your anger. A great rage stirs within you, clawing to get out. You MUST release it. Or a puppet you'll remain.
— Samael
Chaos Form is War's most powerful ability in Darksiders. It has the appearance of a hulking fiery demon far larger than War's normal form with vestigial wings on its back and a sword of fire in its hand.
| The Horseman is broken, but there is still much power in him. For a moment I saw... one who would stand alone against the Destroyer's army.
— Samael on War's Chaos Form
War's Chaos Form is utilized by way of War building the Chaos energy necessary to transform through successful melee attacks. Once a certain amount of energy is obtained, War is able to trigger the transformation at will. Sustaining the transformation rapidly drains War of Chaos energy, and when the Chaos Gauge is empty, War reverts back to his typical humanoid state. When War is in Chaos Form he is invulnerable and inflicts massive damage; even a Trauma will die in five strikes. War is also able to slam his sword onto the ground in front of him to perform an area of effect attack that damages all foes near the strike. Besides powerful enemies like one of the The Chosen, there are few capable of surviving a meeting with War's Chaos form. War is not able to use any of his other weapons, abilities, or Wrath powers for the duration of his transformation. However, his Affliction power, if triggered just prior to transforming, will not be canceled by transforming and will function as it normally would. Once triggered, the transformation can be deactivated prior to fully draining War's Chaos Gauge, but he will lose all his remaining Chaos energy by reverting to normal.
Before the Legendary Enhancement War's Glory is obtained, Chaoseater is the only weapon which can be used to obtain Chaos energy. After finding War's Glory, War's other melee weapons will build Chaos energy with successful attacks, but not nearly as quickly as Chaoseater does. The enhancement also drastically increases the amount of time War remains in Chaos Form for, as well as the rate at which the Chaos Gauge is filled.
War unleashes this power during the Apocalypse in the game's prologue while battling a Trauma. Angels flying overhead instantly recognizing the fiery entity below them. When the Tormented Gate rises to retreat a horn sounding can be heard, a similar to that of an Earthcaller. All at once, War is drained of his power, unable to sustain his Chaos Form. Later after killing Tiamat, Samael tells him to tap into his inner rage by striking down The Watcher, giving him back his Chaos Form.
Reaper FormEditReaper Form is Death's more powerful form, similar to War's Chaos Form. Once transformed, Death takes on a larger skeletal form. His face is completely hidden in the shadows of a cowl, a large robe envelopes the rest of his body, and skeletal wings sprout from his back. He hovers slighty above the ground when fighting on the ground, and is able to use this ability to fly. While transformed, he wields a massive scythe with many skulls engraved into the flat of the blade.
Death can partially tap into his Reaper Form at the end of many of his attack sequences without using any reaper energy. The partial utilization manifests itself as a semi-opaque energy construct in the shape of Death's Reaper form that briefly surrounds him at the end of the aforementioned attack sequences.
Death, like War, is able to acquire the energy required for a full transformation by striking enemies with his weapons. However, only his scythe attacks serve to build this energy; secondary weapons will not serve this purpose without the use of a special talisman. While in this form he is not quite invulnerable but the damage he takes is almost entirely mitigated. He deals massive amounts of damage with his scythe, allowing him to easily tear through large groups of weak enemies or go toe to toe with tougher monsters. He is also able to telekinetically control the movements of his scythe, using it, in one instance, to remotely carve up the innards of a monster known as Karkinos. In this form, he is able to teleport short distances and fire purple energy projectiles from his scythe. While he cannot use any of his Wrath powers or other abilities while in Reaper form, the form itself does not affect the status of abilities used just prior to transforming. As such, he can still benefit from magics such as the power boosts and electrical discharges of his Aegis Guard ability. Additionally, offensive "fire and forget" magics such as Frenzy, Murder or Exhume that were used just prior to transforming are not canceled, and function as they normally would while Death's Reaper form is engaged. Death is able to end his transformations at will, allowing him to conserve reaper energy should his enemies be destroyed before the transformation's time limit expires. Death is also seen using his transformation in many fairly casual situations, often transforming in order to take advantage of his Reaper form's ability to fly.
Darksiders 2Edit
Death is able to access Reaper Form after gaining the first few levels of combat experience on his journey to revive humanity, though it can grow more powerful through further experience. He frequently used it to finish off particularly powerful foes.
- Using the Grim Talisman allows Death to gain reaper energy with both his primary and secondary weapons, and significantly boosts the amount of reaper energy obtained from scythe attacks.
- Level 5: Unlocks Reaper Form
- Level 10: Unlocks Reaper Counter
- Level 15: Increases strength and duration of Reaper Form
- Even though it is categorized in the game as a passive ability it is a very special passive ability. War's form can't be used at any time since it needs the Chaos level completely full, and is temporary once activated.
- Chaos form's in-game model is a variant of the Fallen, minus the club on its tail and has smaller deformed or vestigial wings. It also wields an added flaming sword.
- The Reaper Form is initially weaker than War´s Chaos Form, dealing less damage with a shorter duration and Death can still get damaged by tougher enemies. However, when Death reaches level 15, the duration and strength of Reaper Form increases to the same extent of War's Chaos Form.
- Death's Reaper Form grants him an appearance similar to the common depiction of the Grim Reaper.

We kicked off the new week with sunshine Sunday and highs in the upper 50s in Lexington- Monday we'll warm it up even more! Expect mostly sunny skies today with highs soaring to the upper 60s/low 70s thanks to a south/southeast wind. A cold front will head east and stall around the Ohio River tomorrow- we could see a stray shower or two overnight into Tuesday morning with lows around 50. Tuesday afternoon will end up partly sunny with just an isolated shower chance and very nice highs in the low 70s. Wednesday will see a few showers and storms with highs still around 70 but our best chance for widespread showers and storms will hit Thursday.

Drawing The Fine Line Between Being A "Sugar Baby" & A Prostitute
College acceptances in some ways are easier to come by than financing the education that comes with them. Despite the various financial aid/ loan packages one can sign up for, many students still fall short on payments needed for their housing or class materials. While some students turn to part-time jobs to relieve financial burdens, others decide to enter escort services.
The Atlantic reports that 44 percent of the 2.3 million women who are enlisted escorts — "sugar babies" — on the site Seeking Arrangement are in college. If the "babies" sign up to Seeking Arrangement with an .edu email address they receive free premium membership whereas male users must pay $1,200 for it. The "dating" site also claims the sexual relationships created between their "babies" and users are natural. Seeking Arrangement also upholds the illusion that its services are not prostitution despite the clear sex-for-money exchange.
Even though the relationships can get very physical, many of the sugar daddy/sugar baby relationships have an added dimension. It's not just about physical looks, but also intelligence. It was duly noted in The Atlantic's investigative piece, "some men on the site use it exclusively for sex, the majority want sex and something else. They want someone to come along on business trips, go to company events, and meet their friends—someone who understands and appears interested in what they have to say. Most importantly, they want someone who will help them pretend that the relationship is not a transaction."
The "babies" interviewed by Caroline Kitchener, author of the investigative article, told her when they do not ask for their payments upfront, they receive more funds. Some of men even give the young women credit cards to make the exchange feel more personable. One woman, named Wanitwat shared:
"I found that some, if not most, of the guys don't want to talk about money. I suspect that's because it kills the fantasy. They're trying to pretend that these smart, beautiful women actually want to hang out with them."
Though these men may try to avoid the reality of the relationships they have with their "babies," Kitchener challenges readers and even the "babies" to break through another illusion. The "babies" may be brilliant college students trying to fund their education, that does not exempt them from the label of prostitute. Or does it?
OK Starbucks! Things To Consider With Tuition Reimbursement Programs
Whether you already graduated and are thinking of going back, or didn't have the chance earlier in life, the opportunity to attend college can come your way. In fact, many employers now include tuition reimbursement programs that help lift much of the cost off your shoulders. Should you happen to work for an employer that has this benefit you might want to jump at the chance. But here are some things to consider with tuition reimbursement programs.
Dems, Led By MA Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Push For Bill To Lower Student Loan Rates
Student debt is out of control. The numbers say so. Recently The Huffington Post looked at the current coats of college versus nine years ago, and the increases are significant. The cost of public four-year colleges went from just over $10,000 in 2005 to nearly $20,000 in 2012. Private college tuition was a little more than $25,000 nine years ago. Now it's more than $30,000. And student debt was less than $20,000 in 2005. Now it's just shy of $30,000.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is trying to push through some changes that will help students with student loan debt. And the rest of the Democrats have gotten behind it. The student loan bill introduced is a "wedge issue" in the 2014 midterm elections, forcing Republican candidates to either support it or explain why they don't, reports Mother Jones.
Warren's legislation would decrease interest rates on most federal student loans below four percent, reducing millions of Americans' bills by hundreds or thousands of dollars a year. According to a recent Harvard poll, 57 percent of Americans ages 18 to 24 say student loan debt is a "major" issue for them.
The bill would be funded by eliminating tax breaks on millionaires and is part of what Democrats have called their "Fair Shot Agenda," an election year slate of proposals.
The Senate Democrats will hold a vote on Warren's bill, or a version of it, in early June.
Student debt has become a hot political topic. "In April, Student Debt Crisis, a group that advocates for student loan interest rate reform, nominated Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) for television host Bill Maher's 'Flip-A-District' contest, a campaign Maher launched to find the worst member of Congress and boot him from office," reports Mother Jones. The group selected Kline because he proposed increasing student loan interest rates.
And in 2013, GOP senators filibustered student interest rate relief before agreeing to a compromise bill at the 11th hour. While the legislation prevented interest rates on new federal loans from doubling to 6.8 percent, it didn't help the 40 million Americans who have existing student loan debt, some of whom have loans with rates of up to 10 percent.
Below is a recent speech that Sen. Warren made on the topic. See what she has to say.
Tuition Is How Much? How To Save For Your Child's Financial Future Sooner Than Later
Why does it seem like before we know it, our children are going to their first day of school? Do you remember your parents scrambling at the last minute to send you to college? Or did your folks plan ahead, expecting the day that you would be packing up and heading to university would arrive soon enough?
And there are plenty of expenses in between kindergarten and college: braces, ballet classes, summer camp, prom, etc. etc. etc. This is why we need some sort of game plan.
Here are some ways to save for your child's financial future sooner than later.
You Paid with What?! Things You Should Never Put On Your Credit Card
No matter how you cut it, it seems like our society has moved to using more and more plastic – and by that I mean credit cards. Swipe it here and get rewards there, you know the deal. Even with other alternatives in place ("Swipe No More! Credit Card Alternatives to Consider"), there's just no getting around the temptation of using a credit card.
The question is, what do you use your credit card for? Quick pick-me-ups at the store or maybe a spur of the moment shopping spree? Though everyone is different, there are certain things you just shouldn't charge on your credit card.

Tips To Negotiate High College Costs
As Spring makes its way across the country, so do college acceptance letters for high school seniors. While students are happily rejoicing, parents are wondering where they will find the money and pray that their children won't end up defaulting on future loans.
"This is the month of negotiating," Bob Ilukowicz, a financial aid consultant said to Reuters. Ilukowicz says that there is definitely aid still available. In fact, this upcoming 2012-2013 school year is seeing higher offers than those of years past. The average cost of a private nonprofit four-year college is now $38,590 including tuition, fees room and board but aid, classified as grants and federal tax breaks, generally take off $15,530 from that cost. According to the US Department of Education, about 80 percent of full time undergraduate students receive some kind of aid, and almost 64 percent receive grants that don't have to be paid back. Still, student loans make up almost half of all financial aid.
Reuters suggest that in lieu of these facts, the first things parents and students should do is ask for more. Joe Paul Case, Amherst College's financial aid administrator reveals that about two-thirds of parents who make a request for more aid get it. Amherst is a school that sticks to needs-based assistance, but schools that have the funds to offer merit and competition demands offer an even better chance that a parent's appeal will be rewarded.
Be open and honest about family situations. Some colleges will take family problems that don't appear on the financial aid sheet into consideration. Situations that often get re-considered are instances where non-custodial parents are not willing to help with school fees, and parents that now have good jobs but weren't able to fully recover from a year of unemployment or healthy problems.
Think creatively. Starting school at a more affordable community college to take pre-requisites saves money. Taking a gap year to work before going to college also helps to offset the high cost of tuition. If a deferral puts the older student in college at the same time as the younger, this may also help a parent's case to win more financial aid.
Schools that won't negotiate may allow parents to pay on a monthly basis as opposed to a one large sum in a semester. This can help with cash flow. Also keep in mind that home equity credit lines now have lower rates than college loans. In addition, refinancing a home mortgage may also help with college costs.
Remember, before any decisions are made, consider all options and make as many appeals as you can. Many students aren't able to attend their first-choice school because of finances. But consider the high cost of tuition vs. education quality and job opportunities upon graduation. Research shows that great students will do well regardless if they attended a public or a private school. Perhaps it's best not to spend all of the money and obtain thousands of dollars in debt for an undergraduate education.
5 Years of College, 4 Years of Tuition. Guaranteed.
(New York Times) — Each incoming freshman at Randolph-Macon College this year was eligible to take part in a brief signing ceremony. The new student, along with a parent and the college president, could sign a special agreement that is emerging at some colleges and universities: As long as the student keeps up with academic work and meets regularly with advisers, the college guarantees that earning a degree there will take no more than four years. If it fails to hold up its end of the bargain — if required classes are not available, or if advisers give poor counsel — the college promises to cover the cost of additional tuition until the degree is completed. Four-year degree guarantees, as they have become known, are being offered at a growing number of smaller private colleges. They work as a marketing tool, giving colleges a way to ease parents' fears that their children might enjoy college enough to stick around for five or six costly years. And they help to focus attention on the task at hand: graduating in four years.
Family College Spending Down, Study Finds
(Washington Post) — American families spent 9 percent less on college in the 2010-11 academic year than in the previous year, reversing a recent trend toward increased college spending, according to a new Sallie Mae study. Previous surveys from the student loan giant found families spending progressively more on college from the 2008 to 2010 academic years, despite the recession. Why the sudden shift? More families began moving to lower-cost schools in 2010-11, the survey said, with a sharply higher share of high-income students choosing community college. There was also a rise in the sheer number of low-income students, some of whom presumably were middle-income students a year earlier, the study said. It also found that middle- and high-income families are spending less out of their own pockets (and bank accounts), and low-income families are spending more.
Tuition Hikes Sudden and Steep
(Smart Money) — With freshman orientation right around the corner, many college students and their parents are about to get a surprise that could derail years of careful financial planning: last-minute tuition increases and cuts to financial aid packages promised just a few short months ago. As states have finalized their budgets in recent weeks and months, cuts to public college funding have started to trickle down to parents and students. Since March, at least 19 states have cut money for public colleges. Some states, including Illinois and Georgia, are also slashing grants awarded to students just a few months ago. Still more families won't find out about changes to tuition and financial aid packages until the end of the summer or even after the semester begins — what experts say is the longest delay ever. "This will create real hardship for these students and may impact directly on their ability to enroll this fall," says Tom Horgan, president of the New Hampshire College and University Council.
Ga. Starts Student Loan Program
(AJC) — Starting Monday, Georgia students can apply for a low-interest loan designed to serve as a "gap stop" for those who need extra help affording college. The program is no money tree. Loans are estimated to reach less than 6,000 of the neediest students. Recipients may be arbitrarily chosen via computer. Though lawmakers last February set aside $2o million in lottery revenue to launch the Student Access Loan Program as part of the HOPE scholarship overhaul, details of the program were only learned Tuesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Former New Haven funeral director blames ex for burial fund foul-up
Updated On: Nov 08 2012 09:07:02 PM EST
An ex-Michigan funeral director has received probation for mishandling $13,000 received for prepaid burials but is blaming his ex-wife for failing to put the cash into escrow.
John Olszewski pleaded guilty to funeral contract conversion under a deal with prosecutors. He was sentenced Thursday by Macomb County Circuit Judge Richard Caretti and must repay the money to six ex-customers.
Olszewski owned the now-closed Duncan-Olszewski Funeral Home in New Haven, about 30 miles northeast of Detroit.
Defense lawyer Stephen Becker says Olszewski's ex-wife received the money, and his client "relied on her" to put it in escrow.
Becker also says his client had a deal with state regulators to repay the funds in full before the charges were filed. Assistant Prosecutor Sian Hengeveld says she was unaware of such a deal.

Diane Lane may have starred in Unfaithful, but life does not imitate art when it comes to her marriage to Josh Brolin. The actor, who wed Lane in 2004, insists that despite rumors the he has a wandering eye, he's never cheated on Lane.
"I don't f*** around on my wife," Brolin says in the October issue of Playboy. "I mean, check her out, man. My relationship with my wife is fantastic."
Rumors of Brolin's infidelity spurred from a picture of him kissing actress Marley Shelton, his costar in Grindhouse, which he swears was completely innocent.
"Marley is my wife's and my great friend," the actor explains. "I'm an extremely affectionate guy...Marley and I were out together, turned around and saw there were cameras. That's it."
He added: "Next time I see that camera guy, I'm going to give some guy a good smack on the lips and then hopefully it will be 'Josh Brolin is gay' instead of that I'm f***ing around on my wife."
Brolin and Lane had their share of time in the tabloid headlines in 2004, as well, after Brolin was arrested for spousal battery -- an incident which Lane eventually called "a misunderstanding."
"I feel rage about that," Brolin admits of the arrest. "I feel I've gotten to a point where I can't explain it, defend it or compensate for it. I can't say, 'No, I'm actually a really good guy and that didn't happen.' Everybody knows what happened because it's all out there."
"I talked big, she said 'F*** you' and called the cops, and somebody had to go to jail," he explains of their altercation. "This will be there for the rest of my life. That f***ing sucks. It's been so disruptive to our lives. It's also post-O.J., and that horrifies us both. It kills me, man. It kills me."
What do you think of Josh Brolin and Diane Lane's marriage? Chime in below!

The transaxle drain plug is located on the lower right side of the transaxle differential housing. Tighten drain plug to 14 N·m (120 in. lbs.).
The transaxle fill plug is located on the left side of the transaxle differential area. The fluid level should be within 3/16 inch from the bottom of the transaxle fill hole (vehicle must be level when checking). Manual Transaxles require the use of MOPAR ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid).

Now that swimming pool season is over, of course there will be scorching days in September and October. Fortunately there are lots of other fun ways to cool off with your kiddos and enjoy the water.
1. Splash pads are the best thing to show up at the playground since the wood-and-chain wobbly bridge and many are open past Labor Day. Don't need a swimsuit, swim diaper or lifeguard.
2. Natural waterfalls beat out the chlorinated kind any day. You just need to know where to find them. In Western Pennsylvania, McConnells Mill State Park features a kid-friendly fall and a solid soaking along the Hells Hollow Trail. Check out your state park agency or search the National Park Service for one near you.
3. Check out autumn foilage from the seat of a kayak or canoe. First timers and families -- hook up with a local guide for a how-to course or tour.
4. Water balloons are fun any time. We've been having a great time with a jug and pumper toy that lets the kids fill them without having to use the hose every time. Clean up after with a contest of who can find the most balloon bits -- make sure you have a motivating prize, like first dibs on chocolate cake.

Chocolate for Breakfast
Actually it's vegetables for breakfast, but I can't call it that and generate any excitement, can I? I'm trying hard to not waste a single thing from our CSA farm box this year. Zucchini bread is an obvious solution, but today I also wanted to use bananas. Found this recipe at howsweeteats.com www.howsweeteats.com/2012/08/whole-wheat-zucchini-banana-chocolate-chip-muffins/ for whole wheat zucchini-banana muffins with chocolate chips. I didn't have pastry flour, so I used regular whole wheat flour, which I'm always trying to figure out ways to sneak into my family's eats. I liked the idea of chocolate, which would make even the whole wheat part taste good. Chocolate for breakfast is a sure thing with my kids.
The recipe worked out great.

Pick-Your-Own Strawberries
Give your kids a taste of local strawberries, and they'll understand the true inspiration for "strawberry" flavored candy -- Pennsylvania berries are sweet and delicious, not tart and bland like their giant cousins shipped here from California. Pluck them from the plants yourself to really appreciate them for the short time they are available. Remember water bottles and and sunblock.Here's a quick list of places to pick your own strawberries in the Pittsburgh area:

Move Minecraft Outdoors
This activity is meant for the elementary school-aged Minecraft-er; although any gamer who likes dirt and playing with Minecraft toys might dig it
My kids love Minecraft – the block-based simulated world game where characters mine for materials and making things they need for survival. My 4-year-old doesn't even play the game yet, but he knows all about the Endermans and Herobrine from watching over his older brother's shoulder. Although I'm often fighting against the screens and limiting my kids' time on theirs, I actually like Minecraft. It allows a player's imagination to drive the game and in low-stress creative mode is just about building things.
When I started seeing Minecraft toys – like a foam diamond sword, building blocks and character figurines -- I thought, that's great! The kids can enjoy the game in real-D, interacting with each other instead of the screen. Then I decided to go the next step and take the play outside. Here's what we did, and even the "big" kids (tweens) got a kick out of it:
We made a "Herobrine mask" out of cardboard. This was my little guy's idea. Taking the diamond sword outside was my idea.
Then we painted rocks gold with tempura paint. When they dried, the younger kids helped me bury the "gold" in an empty flower bed.
Let the mining begin! Now it's time to dig for gold.
*TIP FOR WINTER PLAY: SNOW MAKES GREAT MINING SOUNDS when hit with a plastic bat or toy golf club.

Five Ways to Get Your Spring On
First day of spring? Yeh right. The soundtrack to Frozen is apt, I'm not even tired of hearing it play every single day on our iPod. The temperature is in the 30s with snow flurries, an "eternal winter," just like in the movie. The only way to enjoy being outside is to get moving, and think warm thoughts. Here's what we've been doing lately to try to get our spring on.
1. Throw a baseball. One day we hauled out lots of summer toys: baseball, lacrosse sticks, water squirters, bubble blowers, rafts for the water slide, golf balls. It's too cold to play with the water stuff, but just seeing it has inspired great planning for a summertime water slide.
2. Blow bubbles. We went to the Gazillion Bubble Show last year in New York City, and have been really into making ginormous bubbles with a large wand and old fashioned strings (gifts from the boys' auntie). I'm going to try to make our own solution soon with these recipes.
3. Outdoor cleanup. This was mostly fun for me, but the kids always enjoy digging and prodding the ground for worms if not for weeds. Raking and cutting keep you moving and warm.
4. Hunt for signs of spring. It was very exciting the other day when we found the first crocus, tulip and hyacinth sprouts peeking up from the ground. There are also buds on the trees. With a little sun, everything is going to pop.
5. Take care of the birds. We neglected the bird feeder for a few weeks, but our beaky friends have forgiven us now that we've refilled. Next up is a bird house we'll be painting and mounting. It's also fun to leave bits of yarn and ribbon around for nest building.

Lessons From a Snow Day
Just off yet another snow day -- the kids have missed more than a week of school in days off and delays so far. While it was fun in the beginning, now the rearranged schedules, cancelled appointments and makeup homework have gotten kind of old. Nonetheless, I tried really hard to make the most of it yesterday, and I think I did a pretty good job of turning my frown upside down. Even if it wasn't the last snow day of the year (oh please let it be the last), it won't stay winter forever. And my kids won't stay young forever. Here are a few really good things I thought about snow days:
1. Forced to live in the moment. Plans are out the window, the schedule I'd penciled in next to a lengthy to-do list isn't going to happen. I find myself with four kids in the house, counting the neighbors, and I just gotta go with it. It's an attitude I try for daily, but usually ends up overrun by the things I have to do, the places I have to be. Today, there is no being stuck in my head.
2. Priorities become clear. Dangerous roads and having the kids at home are great excuses to clear the schedule of things I don't really want to do – such as a stressful appointment to work out a kitchen remodel on a tight budget. Sometimes, you can't do the things you really want to do either – like getting that appointment over with and moving forward on the kitchen remodel. But I did get to the Y to swim laps – the kids came along, too. Everyone was happy.
3. We get to sample homeschooling, the good and the bad. My friends who homeschool their children are my heroes, and I toy with the idea from time to time. Having the kids at home, working together with Legos and putting together a crystal making kit are the kinds of wonderful learning experiences we don't always have time for with regular school work. But then everything devolves into chaos and no one is listening to my suggestions that we not crash the complex Lego creations into each other, and Legos are everywhere, someone is crying and I want to hide in the closet with a box of Valentine chocolate. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be very good at homeschooling.
4. Outside, outside, outside. Getting to play in the snow almost goes without saying. In my family on a snow day, it also goes without saying that my husband or I will be playing in the snow with our kids.
5. Enjoy the beauty of winter. A friend of mine recently came inside on a bitter cold day, her breath puffing white around her, and said with a smile that it was a beautiful day. She said she'd started feeling down about the weather and instead took notice of the ice and the way the light reflects in the snow, how different it was from anything else. She inspired me the next day to lie back in the snow with my youngest and look up at the sky. Giant spiky flakes were falling through the ragged lines of a thorny berry tree. I would never have seen that otherwise. In North America, winter is waning. Watch it while we can.

Got Snow (insert tall glass and snow mustache here)
The question of whether to let your kids eat snow – white, fluffy, clean snow -- is one of those parenting issues that doesn't seem like a real issue, and yet there's plenty of scary advice out there about it. Even if I tried to stop my children from eating snow, I couldn't. Every sledding wipeout or snowball in the face gives them a mouthful of it. And when they're worn out and thirsty from running around or climbing a sledding hill, of course they are going to take a taste. Just like anytime you are faced with a "bad mommy/good mommy" list of should's and shouldn't's, you gotta take it all with a dose of common sense.
So here are the reasons I found for not eating snow, and why I'm going to ignore them.
1.) Freshly fallen, clean snow is basically distilled water. Drinking a lot of distilled water can be dangerous. Okay, so we won't live off of snow, or eat it until our electrolytes are off kilter. Check. Next please.
2.) Snow can carry bacteria. Studies show this to be true, and that bacteria can actually help create snow – cool. After years of braving public restrooms with toddlers or preschoolers who touch EVERYTHING, I'm kinda over my germ phobia. If I learned about snow in my area specifically being dangerous, I'd take pause. But our culture's over-concern with germs is causing enough problems -- antibiotic-resistant bacteria and – it is strongly suspected – possibly the rise in allergic disease. I'm not worried about germs in snow.
3.) Snow can contain pollutants. This isn't great news, but also not surprising. The snow is formed in air that we breathe, and falls on ground where we play. We accept a certain level of pollutants and potentially dangerous substances in our environment. Even our drinking water may contain pesticides and industrial chemicals at levels considered "safe." I wish they weren't there. But the point is, I'm not seeing snow as being any worse than what we live with every day.
4.) Snow can be contaminated with salt and chemicals for treating ice, or other nasty things from the road or ground where it has fallen. We already know the rule about not eating yellow snow, and really what that means is look at the snow before you put it in your mouth. What I do tell my kids: Don't eat snow near the road or driveway, and only eat the snow that is clean and untouched.
So why eat snow? It's a way to taste and smell nature at a time of year when there aren't many other ways to do it. If this post hasn't frightened you off from trying snow, here are some fun snow eating activities my family loved. All start with big bowls of freshly fallen white stuff:
Snow Sundaes Vanilla, sugar and milk for the icecream, then whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, cherries, etc.
Maple Sugar Snow Pour on the pure maple syrup.
Molasses Candy This idea was inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In "Little House in the Big Woods," she describes making Christmas candy by boiling molasses and then pouring the thick syrup onto snow to harden. Someone who knows how to get syrup to the right temperature to make candy could do this with ease. I didn't get it hot enough, as shown in the picture. In the next try, I burned it. Still fun, though!

A gay candidate's run will determine whether conservatives can engineer a 5-to-5 split on the State Board of Education.
That's the best possible result conservative Republicans can get from this year's election. A bloc of Democrats and moderate Republicans has a 6-to-4 majority now.
In today's election, three conservative and two moderate Republicans are on the ballot, all facing Democratic challengers.
The most notable race is in the 6th District. The seat is now held by Republican Kathy Martin, of Clay Center. She's the only incumbent conservative seeking re-election.
Her opponent is Democrat Christopher Renner, of Manhattan, who's gay. He's never hidden it, but a Martin supporter made it an issue last week.
