AUSTIN - Court documents say as many as 10 men allegedly took turns sexually assaulting a runaway 13-year-old Texas girl in an apartment, where some cheered and filmed the attacks with their cellphones.
Records released Thursday show that Austin police have charged two men in the alleged June 29 attacks.
The girl allegedly told authorities she was assaulted for hours after running away from an Austin group home and getting into a car with three unknown men.
Juan Lozano Ortega, 25, and Edgar Gerardo Guzman Perez, 26, were charged Wednesday with aggravated sexual assault of a child. They were still being held Thursday on $30,000 bond.
Jail and court records did not indicate if the men had attorneys.

|Proclamation 7275
|Delivered on 22 February 2000.
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 453), provides that male citizens of the United States and other male persons residing in the United States who are between the ages of 18 and 26, except those exempted by sections 3 and 6(a) of the Military Selective Service Act, must present themselves for registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner as determined by the President.

Running Thoughts: Fitness Thinking, Teacher Sustainability, and Teaching Writing
Note: I gave myself a 30-minute time limit for writing this.
This morning I set a "thinking agenda" for my run. Knowing I was going to run approximately 6 miles in 70 minutes with my warm up and cool down. I planned to spend the first 2 miles thinking about my fitness goals and routines, the second 2 miles reflecting on John Spencer's chapter in Sustainable on "Success: Fireworks or Fire Works?," and the last 2 miles brainstorming about teaching writing. One thing I learned about myself is that I'm not really a linear thinker. Even though I had an agenda, my mind still shot down rabbit holes popping back up in the other areas I wanted to think about. Perhaps, this is why I have such a hard time following sermons and lectures. My mind can be full of wormholes of cognitive hyperlinks sometimes. But I digress.
In thinking about my fitness goals and routines, I am proud to say I have completed my Bridge to 10K running plan. I'm certainly not the fastest runner, but I have now stuck to and completed two different running programs, and I'm proud I stuck with it. A few days ago, I saw a #temt post on Twitter that made me start evaluating my fitness routines. The post made note that the #temt stream was full of cardio-related posts, but seemed to lack posts about strength conditioning. I know I have neglected this part of my regimen, so I think I will speak with Dale Brady at 2PC about possibly training me or setting me up on a strength training plan. I'm also thinking that as school begins, I will try to run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and commit to strength training on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I also need to commit to doing P90X's Ab Ripper X three days a week, too, to work on my core.
In reflecting on John's chapter on success, a couple of thoughts came to mind. John thinks it's important for teachers to create a meaningful, realistic story about one's teaching life. I agree. So I'm trying to think about my teaching through the various story elements and I'm thinking about who I want to be as the main character in this story and how I can be faithful to that. John also talks the most important theme in teaching being love not influence–that it's more about love than making a difference. I'm not sure. I want to make a difference–not just to individuals, but I want to help them think well and do good. I agree that love is crucial, but I want my love to be demonstrated through the ethic of kindness. (Does that make sense?) A final thought is that I really like the metaphor of being a fire versus a firework. Where I think the metaphor might collapse, though, is variety. Fireworks vary. They have different colors and they explode in a unique ways. Likewise, I think there are a variety of approaches to teaching that can work well. I didn't always think so, but as I experiment with different strategies and philosophies I'm learning there isn't just one way.
My final thoughts center around teaching writing. I only have a bit of time left to write this post, but my thoughts centered around the need to focus on the process, to have students write frequently, to provide meaningful feedback from both teacher and peers, and the need to create authentic projects and audiences. Students would also benefit from clear modeling and having a choice about what they write. Side thought: I need to pull together some resources that might help give this wings.
Okay, the online egg timer and the laundry buzzer sounded so I need to get this posted. Remember this is a process post. Nevertheless, I would love to read any thoughts or comments ou have on today's "Running Thoughts."
20 July 2012 5:32 pm
So maybe the unifying thread is, "If the fire's hot enough, anything will burn!" Congrats on keeping your fitness fire burning. And I love the Yeats quote that education is not filling buckets, but igniting fires. To be able to write that story about my own teaching would be a blessing and learning exercise as I fired up what worked and what didn't. Finally, I think about your students keeping a hot-coal fire burning as they write each day. Not a blaze on one day and nothing else for days. But a constant flame of writing to build their capacity for writing as thinking. Thanks for sharing!

Eating Whole Foods: Cinnamon Stars for the Holidays
We are of course encouraging and supportive of each others fitness goals; but it's not always about working out. When we get into that locker room, we do what girls do best....chat. Yes, we talk about fitness and healthy things but we also, share recipes, talk about favorite restaurants and often times bring in food samples for each other.
That's how I got my first taste of Zimtstern, a traditional German cookie baked during the holiday season. Shaped like stars and topped with a meringue icing, these cookies were so delicious I knew I had to include them in my cookie tray this year.
I was able to get the recipe translated from my gym buddy Iris and immediately saw that there was at least one ingredient I wasn't sure where to buy....vanilla sugar. And although I know I can make almond meal by finely grinding almonds I just didn't want to. Iris, being the kind person she is, brought me in some of hers.
So I ventured out to Whole Foods....my go to place for harder to find ingredients. Instead of wandering aimlessly around the store I decided to go directly to Customer Service to inquire about the vanilla sugar. That's where I met Dan, who suggested I try vanilla powder, mixed with sugar. So I did; and it was perfect. One teaspoon of vanilla powder mixed with one cup of sugar. Kudo's to Dan and Iris for helping put together this recipe.
Check out Whole Foods for those hard to find ingredients on your list. Win a $25 gift card to get you started. Details below.
Zimtstern (Cinnamon Stars)
(courtesy of Iris)
2 egg whites
10.5 oz / 300 gr. ground almonds or almond meal
1 ¾ cups / 7 oz / 200 gr. powdered sugar
1 teaspoon / 4 gr. vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Separate the egg whites from the yolk (save yolks for another recipe) Beat the whites until hard. Slowly add the sifted powdered sugar and continue to beat until you have a nice creamy consistency.
Put 60g (about 5 tablespoons) of the mixture in a separate bowl (this will be your glaze).
Now add the vanilla sugar, cinnamon and almond meal. Depending on how sticky the dough gets you may not need to add ALL of the almond meal. It's best to mix the dough with your dough hooks or hands.
Dust your workspace with powdered sugar and roll out the dough about a third to half inch thick. Cut out the stars place them on a nonstick baking sheet and glaze them.
Bake at 250F for 25 minutes.

When a celebrity begins to look younger instead of older, it's a red flag to the media that the person is using plastic surgery! Is this the case with Joan Allen? Recently, she has been judged by the media, fans, and critics alike for suddenly appearing with a smooth, wrinkle-free face. They believe she has achieved this through plastic surgery. The likely method of wrinkle removal will have been Botox injections, especially on her cheeks and forehead.
While some people think Joan Allen looks like she's had plastic surgery beyond a shadow of a doubt, others think that she is simply using cosmetics to get a new, fresh, young look. There are not so many differences between her before and after photos, leading many to say that she is NOT using plastic surgery. Others believe she has used a very small, tasteful amount of Botox, and is simply not going overboard with the injections like so many celebrities these days. She does exhibit some signs of wrinkles, which give her a natural look, especially for a lady of her age- in her fifties!
In the past Joan Allen had lean cheeks that appeared sunken. These days, she has appeared in public with chubby cheeks that appear to have been injected with some kind of filler. Other people go as far as to speculate that she has had actual cheek implants!
New York dermatologist Dr. Judith Hellman thinks that Joan's cheeks have definitely been worked on, and that she has likely had injections like Radiesse, Sculptra, or body fat put into her face. It may also be possible that she has had a minor facelift. Dr. Paul S. Nassif agrees, saying that is appears that she's had a facelift or used fillers to remove her wrinkles and lines.
If it's this hard to tell, Joan Allen's plastic surgeons must have done a good job! Do you agree?

Choosing five of Sachin Tendulkar's best ODI knocks is as difficult as finding accountability among India's politicians. Nitin Naik attempts this unenviable task...
Sachin's ODI record | Profile: Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar | In Pics: Sachin's one-day journey
82 in 49 balls March 29, 1994
vs New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland
His first match as opener, and what an impact it had! Before this, Tendulkar's batting was known to have more art and less violence, but that perception changed dramatically this innings. After insisting he would open, thanks to a neck injury to Navjot Sidhu, Tendulkar metamorphosed into a demolition man, blasting boundaries all around the odd-shaped ground. The Kiwi attack comprising Danny Morrison, Chris Pringle and Gavin Larsen must have felt it was a highlights show.
143 in 131 balls April 22, 1998
vs Australia, Sharjah
This wasn't a cricket match. It was more a Bollywood film where you see the protagonist, after being bashed up by goons, rising up like an avenging angel. A middle-order collapse, mounting asking rate, an aggressive bowling attack and a desert storm. Sachin Tendulkar overcame all these adversities and bludgeoned five sixes and nine fours to help India qualify for the triseries final. India needed 276 to win, or 237 to qualify off 46 overs, thanks to a revised target following a sandstorm. Tendulkar's heroics helped India qualify. In the final, he belted another ton to help India win the trophy.
98 in 75 balls, March 1, 2003
vs Pakistan, Centurion
Passion, pride and performance. Tendulkar rolled all of that into one and put on a virtuoso display of batsmanship in a game of Olympian proportions to pilot India's chase of 273. Be it the famous upper cut against Shoaib Akhtar for six, the straight drive that followed it, the back-foot punch through cover off Razzaq and the square drive off Akram, each stroke was played with authority. The innings forced Robin Jackman, the master of ceremonies during the presentation, to exclaim, "Thanks for entertaining us."
175 in 141 balls, Nov 5, 2009
vs Australia, Hyderabad
Chasing 350, India were down for the count at 162/4. In one of the best displays of hitting through the line, Tendulkar launched a stunning assault on Hilfenhaus, Bollinger and Watson. When spinners Hauritz and Voges came on to bowl, they were deposited in the stands. With Suresh Raina for company, he brought India to within 18 runs of a famous win. Then he played an ill-timed paddle sweep off Clint McKay and was caught at short fine-leg. The dependence on Tendulkar in that chase is exemplified through this stat: India hadn't opened scoring before Tendulkar took strike, and they managed only 15 runs after he departed. They lost by three runs.
200 not out in 147 balls, Feb 24, 2010
vs South Africa, Gwalior
Sachin Tendulkar's tryst with making history dates back to his school days when he carved records out of habit. 21 years after his debut, he became the first man to score a double hundred in an ODI. The feat came against an attack consisting of Dale Steyn, Charl Langeveldt and Wayne Parnell. If ever someone wants to see a display of clean hitting without a batsman being unorthodox, simply refer to this knock on online videos.

An Emerging Epidemic
In my last post, I cited a fashion "trend" that emerged at the NBA draft that I dubbed "Grandpa Chic." Sweater vests are an important part of the Grandpa Chic trend. So is anything that might sell well in Boca Raton or appear in the Best Values section of the JC Penney catalog. I hoped the trend was just a temporary misstep of the yunguns. I was in denial like Al Reynolds.
Two of the most typically dependable sports fashionistas - Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning - get their Grandpa on at Zo's Summer Groove this past weekend.
But being the fashion forward types that they are, they up the ante on Grandpa Chic. Alonzo rocks the cheesy Hawaiian shirt. And both Zo and Dwyane rock the old man belt at their respective natural waists.
And, as Reggie Bush reveals, getting all booed up ages you.
Where is his swagger? Kim K looks her age, but Reggie threw on the first clean sweater vest he found on the floor of his closet. Something tells me Reggie left this party early so he could get to bed. That's what a Grandpa would do.

The Election 2012 Weekly Report: Slouching Toward Tampa
Southern man don't need him around, anyhow
Frontrunner Mitt Romney's difficulties in the South continued this week with Rick Santorum picking up wins in Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday. Despite strong evidence that the contest is becoming a two-man race, Newt Gingrich shows no signs that he's considering dropping out. Romney picked up victories in Hawaii and American Samoa and continues to hold a strong lead in delegates.
The Afghanistan clock
A poll taken in the days after a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan went on a killing spree, murdering 16 civilians, shows that more than half of Americans support speeding up the U.S. withdrawal from the country. President Barack Obama vowed this week to stick to the current withdrawal timetable, which has U.S. troops handing over security duties to Afghan forces by the end of 2014.
Gingrich surprised many this week by suggesting that "it's very likely that we have lost, tragically lost, the lives and suffered injuries to a considerable number of young Americans on a mission that we're going to discover is not doable." He was immediately criticized for the comment by GOP Senator Lindsay Graham.
Romney cautioned against making a major change in strategy because of the incident. "You don't make an abrupt shift in policy because of the actions of one crazed, deranged person," he said.
Santorum: Foreign policy may be the dominant issue of the campaign?
The conventional wisdom so far in the campaign has been that foreign policy would take a back seat to concerns over the economy. But Santorum suggested this week that with the economic outlook improving somewhat, priorities may be shifting. "That may be the issue of the day come this fall -- a nuclear Iran. Or on the precipice of it [with] Israel potentially having to go to war to stop that development." He continued: "I may not have been a Wall Street private equities fund manager, but I served eight years on the [Senate] Armed Services Committee."
Paul power
With no state victories and only 48 delegates to his name, Ron Paul is beginning to feel like an afterthought in this race. But with the increasingly possibility that this race goes to the convention in Tampa without a clear victor, Paul's support could become a sought-after commodity. There has been rumor and speculation that Paul is tacitly supporting Romney by focusing most of his attacks on Santorum and Gingrich, but the Texas congressman suggested this week that he may not be able to support Romney because of their differences on foreign policy. "I'd talk to him and see what kind of a foreign policy he is going to have," Paul said. "Mitt's a friend and we talk a lot. We just disagree on the issues." Paul also argued that the "Republicans are going to be in trouble unless they come our way and decide they want a president who's more for peace than for war."
Habla político?
With Puerto Rico's primary coming on Sunday, the issue of English as a national language has bubbled up in the campaign. On Wednesday, Santorum suggested that he might be in favor of Puerto Rican statehood, as long as the territory was willing to adopt English as its official language. "Like any other state, there needs to be compliance with this and any other federal law.... And that is that English needs to be the principal language. There are other states with more than one language, like Hawaii, but to be a state of the United States, English must be the principal language."
At least one of Santorum's Puerto Rican delegates withdrew his support over the comment, which Santorum continued to defend on Friday. The Romney campaign issued a mild rebuke, saying, "Governor Romney believes that English is the language of opportunity and supports efforts to expand English proficiency in Puerto Rico and across America. However, he would not, as a prerequisite for statehood, require that the people of Puerto Rico cease using Spanish."
As a point of fact, English is taught in schools in Puerto Rico. The U.S. federal government does not require states to make English the official language, though a number of states have passed laws to that effect.
Algae wars
In recent weeks, Gingrich has reframed his campaign around the issue of gas prices, pledging $2.50-per-gallon gas if he is elected, and repeatedly mocking President Obama for suggesting algae as a potential replacement for fossil fuels. The president fired back this week, accusing GOP candidates of dismissing scientific innovations: "If some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail, they must have been founding members of the Flat Earth Society -- they would not have believed that the world was round."
Gingrich responded, saying "The president maligned me, suggesting I don't like biofuels. That's baloney. I am in favor of science and technology." However, Gingrich said, "no serious study" had suggested that algae could serve as a replacement for oil in the short run.
White House spokesman Jay Carney also suggested this week that any candidate promising $2.50 gas was "lying." He later backed off the comment -- sort of -- saying "I shouldn't have gone to motivations, I should have said that anybody who said that doesn't know what he's talking about."
What to watch for:
Following Missouri's official caucus on Saturday (voters chose Santorum in an unofficial primary back in February) and Puerto Rico's primary on Sunday, Illinois will hold its closely watched primary on Tuesday. Polls show Romney with a slight lead.
The latest from FP:
Michael A. Cohen says that the war in Afghanistan could become a major political liability for the president in November.
David Rothkopf looks at Obama's "cool diplomacy."
Alex Massie argues that the GOP have a lot to learn from David Cameron's Tories.
Oliver Kamm says Cameron is betting on Obama's reelection.
Aaron David Miller has a suggestion for why the GOP has such a hard time attacking Obama on foreign policy.
Scott Clement says the public generally support Obama's wait-and-see approach on Iran.
Stephen Walt argues that if Santorum is serious about becoming president, he must convince Gingrich to drop out.
Michael Peck plays a new game that simulates the twits-and-turns of the 2008 campaign trail.
Joshua Keating looks at Santorum's faith-based approach to Dutch medical statistics.

2008's Six Craziest Political Moments
- Words: Vivian Host
Whenever we hit a dry, dull spot here in this magazine game, we point our browsers to Lords of Apathy, a blog run by Burlesque Design members Todd Bratrud, George Thompson, and various other shadowy figures. Like Life Sucks Die, Burlesque's hilarious, now defunct zine, LOA consistently entertains us with weird ass YouTube reposts, photos of Asian import car models, and some very incisive social and economic commentary. We asked their scary, but loveable mascot Snickerdoodles McPoppycock to break us down with the most memorable "What the hell?" political happenings of the year.
1. Matt Damon on Sarah Palin
Sometimes it takes Jason Borne to break things down into little, bite-sized nuggets of wisdom before Joe Six-Pack can stop masturbating long enough to realize what an absolute disaster the possibility of a Sarah Palin presidency would be.
2. Seriously, Who Did Let the Dogs Out?
Mitt Romney drops an awkward, patronizing "Who let the dogs out (hoot, hoot)" in a campaign photo-op, surrounded by a dozen black people. I give Mitt partial credit for actually knowing a song done by a black person (albeit a really shitty one), but I would have much rather have seen him bust out "Watch me crank and watch me roll!" Any Republican Mormon who could rock Soulja Boy would be worthy of my vote.
3. DMX on Barack Obama
At some point in your life, you may have asked yourself, "How much crack smoking is too much?" Rapper/shitty actor/all-around crazy person DMX has the definitive answer. In a XXL interview seven months ago, DMX is literally blown away not only that there is a black candidate for president, but also the fact that it's possible for somebody to be named Barack Obama.
4. It's Raining McCain!
After recording the "Obama Girl" YouTube video onto my Boner Jamz '08 mixtape, I stumbled across the McCain supporters' follow-up video "It's Raining McCain!," featuring three dumpy junior-high lunch ladies (two of which may have Down's Syndrome). These two videos may have been the most accurate symbols of the candidate's respective campaigns.
5. Bush Compares Obama to Hitler Appeasers
On the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence, our boy "W" decided to use the occasion to smear Obama with the old "Hitler appeaser" trump card during a speech at the Knesset. Wait a minute... He's not talking about Adolph Hitler is he? The same Hitler that his grandfather, Prescott Bush, financially backed while he was exterminating millions of Jews during WWII?
6. John McCain versus Tiger Woods
David Bellavia, former Army staff sergeant/spokesperson for "Vets For Freedom" introduces John McCain at a rally near Washington DC, setting the pace for his dishonest, disgusting, race-baiting campaign by saying: "You can have your Tiger Woods. We've got Senator McCain." I give him credit for at least accessing the situation accurately; McCain had just as good a chance of beating Tiger woods as he did Barack Obama.

That headline image is pretty terrifying! The "Raining McCain" video, on the other hand, is hilarious. I especially like how they avoid the phrase "soaking wet" by replacing it with "John McCain."

Hey idiot. Bellavia was saying you can have your "superstar"....which Obama is treated like. I will have my american hero. He has given this speech before and used other sports figures. Bellavia is nominated for the MOH. He served our country and almost died doing it. Shame on you.

When I think "Superstar" you automatically think Tiger Woods huh? Gimme a fucking break... If I would have said "You can keep your Tom Brady (AKA John McCain), We've got Senator Barack Obama" You would have justifiably been like "What the hell are you talking about?" There's a possibility you could have given these scumbags the benefit of the doubt had the rest of McCain's campaign been about anything other than thinly veiled racism.

Sergio Perez believes Force India will have a good opportunity at the next two races to regain the ground they lost before the summer break.
The Mexican and his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg regularly battled for top five places during the opening few races of the 2014 campaign, but they slipped off the pace at Silverstone, Germany and Hungary.
The Silverstone squad are now fifth in the Constructors' Championship, just one point ahead of McLaren, and Perez feels the team need to regain their form after the break.
"We are losing ground," the 24-year-old said. "Williams seems to have made a step forward and also Ferrari, so at the moment we are a bit far off. There are good races coming up for us, like Monza and Spa, so we have a good opportunity.
"We have to make a step forward. We know we are not strong enough and we have been very lucky to finish in the places we have been finishing lately. We have to bring some upgrades to the car.
"We are lacking quite a lot of rear-end on the car and the operating window is pretty small. We have improved the car but obviously not enough and a lot of teams have caught us up quickly."

An Update
So, I know that a number of months ago, I made a post about how I got engaged, and then I proceeded to disappear. My life has been pretty insane since then (work, health problems, wedding planning, etc.), but I wanted to give everyone an update on my life.
So, here's the first part of the story:
As those of you who followed my posts from last spring/summer know, I was doing the whole on-line dating thing. My fiance (who will hereafter be known as J) and I met through match.com. He e-mailed me, and at the time, I was responding to most guys who seemed nice, who wrote a thoughtful message, and who I had something in common with.
We went on a date to get Indian food, and things were really comfortable. The main things I remember thinking after our first date are: "He's cuter than his pictures. We have similar tastes in TV shows, and he's easy to talk to–those are nice things. He has passions in life (punk rock and skateboarding and pathology), which, while not my passions, make him an interesting person. I'd go on another date with him."
As the summer progressed, we went on more dates. Eventually, he expressed interest in getting more serious, and while I was hanging out with him quite a lot and enjoying our time together, I was uncertain. I knew I liked spending time with him, but this was my first potentially serious relationship after things ended with my ex (which left me with a lot of confusion and heartache), and I wasn't 100% certain what I was looking for in a serious relationship or if I was even ready for one. I also knew that if I was uncertain, we started something serious, and then I realized it wasn't right, it was going to be much more painful than if I took the time to figure out how I was feeling.
I expressed this to J, and he was wonderfully patient with me. While my indecision was difficult for him, he gave me the space I needed. Eventually, though, at the end of July (after a month or so of indecision and thinking through everything over and over and over again), I said that I wasn't sure if I was any closer to figuring things out, and maybe we just needed to be friends so that he wasn't waiting for me indefinitely.
The additional space that this conversation gave me was, incidentally, what I needed to sort everything out. That following week, since there wasn't any pressure on me to figure out how I was feeling, I was able to hang out with him (since we decided we'd still hang out as friends) and recognize just how happy and calm I felt when I was with him. And how the kind of friendship we were building (one where we were open and honest with one another, and where we just enjoyed spending time together) was exactly what I was looking for in a relationship. Because I wasn't driving myself crazy trying to analyze how I was feeling, I was able to see how profoundly good I felt when I'm with him and something just clicked in my brain: this is what you've been looking for. I didn't feel the need to double-check things with God–I just knew. (Incidentally, that Sunday is when I had my "Be Still My Soul" experience.)
So, on August 1st, approximately a week after I told J we should probably just be friends, I announced that I had figured out my confusion and wanted to seriously date him. And less than three weeks later we were engaged (which is the next part of story, to be told in an upcoming post…).
A few additional notes:
*Since the whole religion question (date non-Mormons or not?) came up in my being single posts, I will say that he's the son of a Methodist minister, but our approach to religion is actually pretty similar. I am able to talk with him about religion, he gets it, respects it, and I have a lot of space to be who I am religiously and spiritually (which right now is a Mormon struggling to attend church). Incidentally, he's much better at going to church than I am.
*A funny story: the first Mormon scripture I ever showed J was part of D&C 132. I was talking to him about being a Mormon feminist, and I showed him that scripture to illustrate a point (I don't remember exactly what that point was). His reaction was something along the lines of, "I don't mean to be disrespectful, but that's kind of messed up." And then he politely mentioned that was the first Mormon scripture I had shown him, which he was not sure was intentional on my part (after which I promptly repented and showed him 2 Nephi 26:33).

It's great to hear from you, and it sounds like you're doing well. Congratulations on the engagement!
Also, this:

was awesome.
When my hubby told his parents about meeting me, the one question his dad asked him was, "Can you talk to her?" It's wonderful to be able to be comfortable and be you.
Thanks for checking in and keeping us abreast of developments, s. I'm so happy that things are continuing to go well for you.
The more I think about it, the more I'm kind of a fan of not involving God in this particular decision. Bruce R. McConkie never prayed about his wife, reasoning that he just knew so what was the point in asking? And that kind of resonates with me.
And I'm also kind of a fan of being open to relationships with non-LDS. And besides, Methodist is almost honorary Mormon…
So I'm interested in the progress of your current relationship and hope it continues to progress as you wish it to.
Congratulations, Seraphine! I'm so happy for you and J.
And eagerly awaiting the next installment.
I have to agree with Kaimi about that being an awesome story about showing J his first Mormon scripture–an excellent choice of follow up to the weirdness of D&C 132.
Also: I am a little jealous. But more importantly I'm so happy for you Seraphine. J sounds fantastic and you sound so happy. yay!
I selfishly hope that life calms down a bit for you soon so we can hear more from you. In the meantime, I hope everything goes well.
Congratulations, Seraphine! I like your baptism by fire approach to introducing J to Mormon scriptures.
I'm so happy for both of you! All the best.
Awesome! Congratulations; I'm so happy for you. I've read all your dating posts and was wondering how things have turned out! Much joy to you and J.
I'm so glad to hear this news! It's almost like we got to chat back in March when I was visiting
Can't wait for the rest of the story . . .
Don't know if I get the D&C 132 . I am a Mormon, a feminist sympathizer, and even blog about it, but I still don't get the D&C 132 thing.
Incidentally, he's much better at going to church than I am.
Well, obviously what you need is a little priesthood ordination to rehabilitate your lazy self.
So happy for you, Seraphine. Congratulations!
Congratulations! I hope the very best for you and J.

'Lights Out' showrunner Warren Leight to Dick Wolf's NBC's 'SVU'

Warren Leight, the former showrunner for "Criminal Intent" and the recent drama "Lights Out," was chosen by NBC and Dick Wolf to run "Law & Order: SVU" as executive producer and showrunner.
Neal Baer ends his run as SVU showrunner this season and moves to develop series at CBS Television Studios, reports Variety.
Leight's experience with "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" began in 2002, serving as executive producer of the series the last two years, according to Variety.
Leight's drama series "Lights Out" starring Holt McCallany, Pablo Schreiber and Stacy Keach had an ardent following of fans, including this site as well as many stars and industry insiders. But the numbers failed to ignite FX, who ended the show in one season. The network announced the cancellation with two more episodes left to air, unlike the drama "Terriers" where they made fans wait until the finale ended.

Any thoughts on how to keep your feet warm while sitting at a desk for long periods of time in the winter? Some of us have poor circulation and get cold feet easily. My method is to keep a portable electric heater running under my desk--but that is expensive.
A electric heat pad-------pull your shoes off and place your feet on the pad. Doesn't cost much to run it. If needed you can get something tapered to lay the pad on, would probably be more comfortable. Then a fluffly towel or baby blanket over the top of your feet. Keep them feet warm!!
I have an old light bar from a home movie setup. It has four standard light sockets and a wall plug. Unless it is really cold in the room, a single 75 watt reflector lamp will give plenty of radiated heat. I appreciate the extra light in the winter as well.
Try a 'warming tray/pad'
The kind you would put on the table to keep a dish of food warm at the pot luck..........
Low wattage
I have a couple from garage sales for just that . . .der feets warmers.
How about a nice old-fashioned "gin jar"? We fill 2 litre plastic pop bottles with hot water and tuck wool socks over them and rest our feet on them. So toasty, and they stay warm an amazingly long time. If you have a wood stove and a brick, you could heat the brick on top, wrap and use it too - no extra electric!
You familiar with a "3 dog night" ?
Use one of them for this....keep the other two on the bed.
Not even close......
Battery operated hunting socks will keep your feet toasty and not expensive.
We have both cats and a dog the dog is OK but wags too much creating a draft, the cats are cozy enough until the mouse dreams start! The empty dog/cat bed is often enough for me, but perhaps I have better circulation. I have in the past routed a small 3 inch duct to the area under the desk from the existing furnace ductwork.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup........
Use the exhaust from your computer. Duct the warm air from the PC to your feet.
We've just invented a PC foot warmer... the idea could be worth billions!
gin jar..... drink gin.... helps thin the blood for more blood flow
Rabbit fur lined slippers that are 3 sizes to big over downhill ski soks that are 2 sizes to big.
If the grass looks greener it is probably over the septic tank. - troy n sarah tx
We have an old propane cook stove, huge one with a griddle to one side. The griddle stays really warm all the time. In the winter I set two clean bricks on top of the griddle and let them get warm - they can get hot enough on the bottom that it is almost too hot to touch but only very warm on top. In any case, I sit with a blanket over my lap and I just fetch a warm brick, set it on the floor and prop my feet on it. When it cools off, I change it and get the other brick.
You could do the same thing with a wood stove.
Good boots or fuzzy slippers is what I used.
This year I'm putting down 1" of blue foam on the uninsulated floor and covering it with CDX plywood and then the finish covering.
"Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?" Hobbs
"I'm not sure that man needs the help." Calvin
I found my "warmer"
Made by 3M called a "personal" warmer something.
It is not a food warmer as I mentioned in my other post.
It is a reasonable 130 watts.....
Rather than leave it in 'storage' I might as well put it to use under my puter desk this coming winter.
lambswool slippers - too hot for me!
I used to work in a loudspeaker factory with a cement slab floor that was very cold in the winter. This type of insulated boot worked very well for me: http://tinyurl.com/warmboots They look nice and the black color is a bonus in an office situation. I'm thinking of getting a pair of these now.
Labrador dogs. Place one under desk. Every so often they will donate you a blast of hot air.
Ugg boots (Google it). Made of sheepskin, wool in, outer leather like suede. Loose fit, very comfortable, very warm, but not for wet areas, as the outer skin/leather is not waterproof. Marvellous warm for indoors, though. And as for stylish... well, NOT.
Sad Iron or a brick, warmed on a wood stove or in the suns warmth. I like the blue board and the computer heat ideas.
Save the electric and fossil fuels for when you have to use them

The appointment was for yesterday but the preparation started a couple of weeks ago. All the right friends were texted, all information gathered from the internet. Ready, Set, Go...
We had the appointment at the European Wax Centre, just two blocks away and those 2 blocks were probably the longest ones for Kat. She was so nervous and kept checking with me if it would hurt. Of course it does hurt but how do you explain the nature of the pain to someone who has no idea about it. So, I did prepare her a bit but the rest she had to learn:(
I must say times have moved on since my days I had my laser treatment done a few years ago and have not had the need to visit a wax centre for the last several years now. I was amazed at the self drying wax that you peeled off the skin, just like that! (no more cloth strips) I was with Kat in the room and I could not help but stare at the wax wonder very neat indeed!
A lot of pain for Kat followed by a day or so of feeling very strange and wobbly (in her own words) but now she is fine and back to normal of course the end result was marvellous she cannot wait for the next one!
The recent craze in our house is Kats invitation to a Bat Mitzvah I have heard that it is the most important event for a Jewish family. Weve never been to one (since it is celebrated when a girl turns 12 and now Kats friends are reaching this milestone slowly). I have no doubt that this is big deal for the family involved but in our house, this first Bat Mitzvah for Kats friend is such a big deal, I mean SUCH A BIG DEAL! We have had numerous discussions on the gift (Kat comes up with a gift idea almost every single day after some conversations with friends). A dress in white was specifically bought for this occasion and only recently have the golden ballet flats arrived. There were talks about getting hair done but I think Kat realised she was pushing me too far and she has forgotten this for now (I hope!)
At one point, Kat got so carried away with all the fun her friend was going to have, she asked me: Mummy, can I have a Bat Mitzvah?!! I almost fell off my chair...
Funny enough, Kit has not realised all this fuss (yet!) once she figures out that Kat is going for something special, there will be confrontations and arguments about why her friends do not have Bat Mitzvahs yet (theyre only 5 year olds now!) and that IT IS NOT FAIR!!
Updates on the dress and shoes next...
I look around Kats room and see Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Victoria Justice everywhere I like them all too except that ALL of them have beautiful, long hair and have Kat believing that this style is very in and here to stay. Personally, I and Papa think that she looks much smarter with short hair but when you have an 11 year old with opinions and confidence of her own, you have to let go and give some degree of independence for them to live with their little decisions.
There was a time when both Kit Kat had the same haircut as me (a French Bob) and everywhere we went, they were the mini-me. At least Kit still has the same as me cut and she does look adorable (not to forget smart and more comfortable in this heat!) Even Kit has started asking for long hair and the only reason she goes for a haircut and forgets about her original plan is the lollipop that she gets there! (So far so good)
Well (*sigh*)...Not all of us are blessed with enviable tresses and as is the case with Kat, she does not like her hair so much after shes washed them (she has only publicly admitted this now) they have natural waves and this is the reason why she needs to tie her hair almost all the time...
Glad to know, Im not the only mum who is freaking out with my daughters long hair. I know of other mums complaining about similar issues with their daughters hair and how they wish for them to get a shorter haircut (easy to maintain, no fuss style I hear?)
I think the time is coming or will come soon (fingers crossed)...Kat was visibly upset with her hair last night and Papa and I gave her opinions of our own (very daring I must admit) and instead of stopping us, Kat was actually contemplating...baby steps and pure motherly instinct maybe but I feel we will be making a trip to the hairdresser before school reopens (Yay!) we may be praying silently for a certain decision but in the end we will accept whatever Kat decides to do like we always tell her We will never lie to you we will only tell you the facts and you decide what you want to do we can guide, not force our opinions.
After all its Kats hair, long or short, Kats decision she will get the last word. Thats that.
See also the post "The insatiable yearning...for long tresses " which I wrote last year.
Normally when Kats bus pulls into the driveway, Kit is the first one to run and hug and kiss Kat and generally fuss over everything today she calmly stood outside and mechanically just waved goodbye I said Kit, why are you not hugging Kat or saying goodbye nicely?
Kit: Mummy, I am. I am giving Kat her favourite lip gloss SMILE
Kat walked away, UNAMUSED!
By the time they both get back from school today, all will be forgotten... Kat will ring the doorbell...Kit will run to open the door...Kat will hide behind the wall and Boo! her and then Kit will be running behind Kat asking did you get anything for me? - some days its a book or a little sweet tucked away somewhere and other days its just a hug or a kiss...it just has to be something!
The one thing I like carrying and care about are handbags am I fussy? Depends how much time I have - although I think I lost the time luxury factor a few years ago. For me, it is important to have a smart handbag and my favourite brand is Coach. I always seem to find what Im looking for quick and easy. Bliss!
Here comes Kat into the picture she seems to be an interesting mix of me and my sister. She has this passion for handbags (she has a pretty decent collection) but the FUSS with which the selection is made is how my sister used to pick shoes. I cant help making the connection.
Kat has a selection of handbags which were of the kid/maybe tween level the most sophisticated ones being a Tommy Hilfiger and the latest a pink Juicy Couture from her Aunt. So when she went shopping for a Coach handbag for ME , it was heart breaking to see her look at the price tags of all the smaller handbags (her size) and then put them back instantly. I could see her posing with them in the corner of the shop too. So after I had selected mine, I had a quick word with Papa (who is the last person to object to anything for Kat anyway!) and we decided it was time to surprise Kat with her first Coach. So we started looking at the handbag section she was searching through at first and then we broke the news that she could actually buy one for herself.
Anyhow, breaking the news was simple selecting the handbag was the big thing Kat must have tried every handbag in the store before finalising (here she is slightly different from my sister who would try all the shoes and still move on to the next store in search of better buys so bugging!) Also amazing is the patience that Papa suddenly showed abundance of when it came to Kat he patiently selected handbag after handbag for her asked her to pose in it while he commented all the while I just hurried them along and panicked, in vain.

Stepping up his attack on the UPA government, the BJP�s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Friday accused the Congress of using the CBI and patronising the Indian Mujahideen to counter the BJP ahead of next year�s Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing his third Vijay Shankhnad Rally in the Chaupal Sagar area of Bahraich district in Uttar Pradesh, nearly 60-km from the Nepal border, Modi said the Congress, which could not democratically defeat him and the BJP in Gujarat in three Assembly elections, was now resorting to other tactics to defeat him in the Lok Sabha elections and stop his rise.
�Sometimes they misuse CBI and sometimes give a free hand to Indian Mujahideen,� Modi said. �Those doing politics with bombs, guns and pistols should hear me, I am made of a different material.
�I feel that Congress, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party will not contest the Lok Sabha elections and the Indian Mujahideen as well as the CBI will come forward to protect the Congress,� Modi said.
The Gujarat chief minister also said the BJP had neither bowed to terrorists nor would it now. �Instead, we will make terrorists bow down. They will be finished from their roots,� Modi told the gathering of around one lakh people.
Modi said that India never gave in to terrorism and the bullets of terrorists could not stop the country�s development. He also said there is no place for violence in democracy.
Referring to the serial blasts in Patna on the day of his rally there last month, Modi said the people of Bihar were killed �because their only fault was to say Bharat mata ki jai�.
Without naming UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi or Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, Modi said there are very senior leaders in a 100-km radius of Lucknow who command power at the Centre but are doing nothing for the state�s progress.
�They are interested only in vote bank politics for which they do not care for the safety of people. Indian Mujahideen increases its base and activities and they patronise the terror outfit for vote bank politics,� Modi said.
As he concluded his speech, he urged the gathering to loudly chant �Bharat mata ki jai� so that their voice could scare the Indian Mujahideen.
Modi said the SP and BSP were supporting the Congress at the Centre not in the interest of Uttar Pradesh.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a proposed, as-yet-unbuilt design for future high-speed railroad transportation. It is a maglev line run through evacuated (air-less) or partly evacuated tubes or tunnels. The lack of air resistance could permit vactrains to use little power and to move at extremely high speeds, up to 4000–5000 mph (6400–8000 km/h, 2 km/s), or 5–6 times the speed of sound (Mach 1) at standard conditions.[1] Though the technology is currently being investigated for development of regional networks, advocates have suggested establishing vactrains for transcontinental routes to form a global network.
Vactrain tunnels could permit very rapid intercontinental travel. Vactrains could use gravity to assist their acceleration. If such trains went as fast as predicted, the trip between Beijing and New York would take less than 2 hours, supplanting aircraft as the world's fastest mode of public transportation.
Travel through evacuated tubes allows supersonic speed without the penalty of sonic boom found with supersonic aircraft. The trains could operate faster than Mach 1 without noise.
However, without major advances in tunnelling and other technology, vactrains would be prohibitively expensive. Alternatives such as elevated concrete tubes with partial vacuums have been proposed to reduce costs.
Researchers at Southwest Jiaotong University in China are developing (as of 2010) a vactrain to reach speeds of 1,000 km/h (620 mph). They say the technology can be put into operation in 10 years.[2][3][4]
The modern concept of a vactrain, with evacuated tubes and maglev technology, was explored in the 1910s by American engineer Robert Goddard, who designed detailed prototypes with a university student. His train would have traveled from Boston to New York in 12 minutes, averaging 1,000 mph (1,600 km/h). The train designs were found only after Goddard's death in 1945 and his wife filed for the patents.[citation needed]
Russian professor Boris Weinberg offered a vactrain concept in 1914 in the book Motion without friction (airless electric ways). He also built model of his proposed transport in Tomsk university in 1909.[citation needed]
Vactrains made headlines during the 1970s when a leading advocate, Robert M. Salter of RAND, published a series of elaborate engineering articles in 1972[5] and again in 1978.[6]
An interview with Robert Salter appeared in the LA Times (June 11, 1972). He discussed, in detail, the relative ease with which the U.S. government could build a tube shuttle system using technologies available at that time. Maglev being poorly developed at the time, he proposed steel wheels. The chamber's door to the tube would be opened, and enough air admitted behind to accelerate the train into the tube. Gravity would further accelerate the departing train down to cruise level. Rising from cruise level, the arriving train would decelerate by compressing the rarefied air ahead of it, which would be vented. Pumps at the stations would make up for losses due to friction or air escaping around the edges of the train, the train itself requiring no motor. This combination of modified (shallow) gravity train and atmospheric railway propulsion would consume little energy but limit the system to subsonic speeds, hence initial routes of tens or hundreds of miles or kilometers rather than transcontinental distances were proposed.
Trains were to require no couplers, each car being directly welded, bolted, or otherwise firmly connected to the next, the route calling for no more bending than the flexibility of steel could easily handle. At the end of the line the train would be moved sideways into the end chamber of the return tube. The railway would have both an inner evacuated tube and an outer tunnel. At cruise depth, the space between would have enough water to float the vacuum tube, softening the ride.
A route through the Northeast Megalopolis was laid out, with nine stations, one each in DC, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and two in Connecticut. Commuter rail systems were mapped for the San Francisco and New York areas, the commuter version having longer, heavier trains, to be propelled less by air and more by gravity than the intercity version. The New York system was to have three lines, terminating in Babylon, Paterson, Huntington, Elizabeth, White Plains, and St. George.
Salter pointed out how such a system would help reduce the environmental damage being done to the atmosphere by aviation and surface transportation. He called underground Very High Speed Transportation (tube shuttles) his nation's "logical next step". The plans were never taken to the next stage.
At the time these reports were published, national prestige was an issue as Japan had been operating its showcase bullet train for several years and maglev train research was hot technology. The American Planetran would establish transcontinental subway service in the United States and provide a commute from Los Angeles to New York City in one hour. The tunnel would be buried to a depth of several hundred feet in solid rock formations. Construction would make use of lasers to ensure alignment and use tungsten probes to melt through igneous rock formations. The tunnel would maintain a partial vacuum to minimize drag. A trip would average 3,000 mph (4,800 km/h) and subject passengers to forces up to 1.4 times that of gravity, requiring the use of gimballed compartments. Enormous construction costs (estimated as high as US$1 trillion) were the primary reason why Salter's proposal was never built.
Starting in the late 1970s and early '80s, the Swissmetro was proposed to leverage the invention of the experimental German Transrapid maglev train, and operate in large underground tunnels reduced to the pressure altitude of 68,000 feet (21,000 m) at which the Concorde SST was certified to fly.
In the 1980s, Frank P. Davidson, a founder and chairman of the Channel Tunnel project, and Japanese engineer Yoshihiro Kyotani (ja) tackled the transoceanic problems with a proposal to float a tube above the ocean floor, anchored with cables. The transit tube would remain at least 1,000 feet (300 m) below the ocean surface to avoid water turbulence.
Dr. James Powell, former co-inventor of superconducting maglev in the 1960s, has since 2001 led investigation of a concept for using a maglev vactrain for space launch (theoretically two orders of magnitude less marginal cost than present rockets), where the StarTram proposal would have vehicles reach up to 8,900 mph (14,300 km/h) to 19,600 mph (31,500 km/h) within an acceleration tunnel (lengthy to limit g-forces), considering boring through the ice sheet in Antarctica for lower anticipated expense than in rock.[7]
ET3 (Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies) propose a system in which ″Car sized passenger capsules travel in 1.5m (5') diameter tubes on frictionless maglev. Air is permanently removed from the two-way tubes that are built along a travel route. Airlocks at stations allow transfer of capsules without admitting air. Linear electric motors accelerate the capsules, which then coast through the vacuum for the remainder of the trip using no additional power. Most of the energy is regenerated as the capsules slow down. ET3 can provide 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric cars or trains″.
Vactrains have occasionally appeared in science fiction novels, including the works of Arthur C. Clarke (Rescue Party, 1946), Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451, 1950), Peter F. Hamilton (The Night's Dawn Trilogy), Joe Haldeman (in his novel Buying Time), Larry Niven (A World Out of Time), Robert A. Heinlein (Friday), Jerry Yulsman (Elleander Morning), and Jasper Fforde (the Thursday Next novels). Flash Gordon (1947) and the movie Logan's Run (1976) featured similar high-speed transport trains. The Space: 1999 TV series, featured a Lunar Vactrain. 23rd century San Francisco has one stretching across the Golden Gate Bridge in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Earlier Gene Roddenberry television productions, Genesis II and Planet Earth, featured such transport systems. In Starship Troopers (1997), actress Denise Richards uses what could be a vactrain system at 'Federal Transport Hub 39', after signing up as a pilot, and also in an earlier deleted scene.
A fictional train that matched a vactrain in description was mentioned in the 1982 song "I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)", by the American singer and songwriter Donald Fagen. The song includes the lyrics: "On that train, all graphite and glitter / Undersea by rail / Ninety minutes from New York to Paris".

Aaron Kochar, director of prevention and education at Porter-Starke Services Inc., shows the rescue kit used to respond to opioid overdose - the antagonist naloxone. | Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 10, 2014 6:13AM
The 19-year-old woman started dating a man who was a recovering heroin junkie, figuring her attention and affection could help him fight his addiction.
Her romantic notion backfired. Within a few weeks, she was an addict, too.
"Although she smokes cigarettes every so often, she never made a habit of it," the woman's mother told me. "She thought doing heroin was going to be the same thing. She could just stop when she wanted to."
How quaint. How misguided. How potentially deadly.
The Hobart woman is now in recovery, though she relapsed shortly after receiving treatment. She was selling her Suboxone medication to buy more heroin, a common tactic for users in recovery.
Addicts will sell anything to get their fix, even their soul if they could. Also, they will not only steal your money and lie about it. They'll pretend to help you look for it.
"Since that happened, I started watching her take her medication," the mother said. "I have it locked up so she can't get to it."
This is yet another oh-so-familiar scenario for the frustrated loved ones of users in recovery, the "anonymous people" of our society. We like to pretend they don't exist but, as I learned firsthand, they do and their troubles are our troubles.
"The problem is there is so many young adults dying around here and not one of their deaths were made public that it was caused by an overdose of heroin," the mother said.
She's right — most heroin-related deaths are brushed under the societal carpet of shame, stigma and embarrassment. When I see an obit of someone between the age of 16 and 25 with no listed cause of death, I immediately assume it was drug addiction.
For nearly a decade now I've been asking the same questions: Has too much disposable cash in our drive-thru society led to the notion of drive-by, disposable lives? Can boredom be blamed for sliding needles of excitement into the veins of the young and restless? Are tomorrow's expectations too much for today's students? Do four-star schools not hear the five-alarm warnings?
Back then, heroin use was stupidly dismissed as a passing fad, not the plague of a generation. With the recent death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, the national spotlight is once again shining on the shadowy effects of heroin use, overdoses and deaths.
'Miracle drug'
"One tool to respond to opioid overdose is the antagonist naloxone, it's really is a miracle drug," said Aaron Kochar, director of prevention and education at Porter-Starke Services Inc. in Valparaiso. "It can bring a person back from the brink of death in a matter of minutes."
Most opioid overdose deaths occur one to three hours afterward, and stem from oxygen deprivation, Kochar said. Naloxone reverses opioid overdose by replacing and blocking agonists such as heroin, Vicodin, or OxyContin from attaching to the brain's opioid receptors.
Naloxone has been used for decades and has been proven effective, nonaddictive and almost perfectly safe for anyone to use, he said. Since 1996, naloxone prevention programs have trained 53,032 people and 10,171 people have had an overdose reversed.
"It's easy to use, relatively inexpensive, can't be abused and poses almost no side effects," Kochar said. "The sooner naloxone is administered, the greater the chance for recovery. It's a tool that helps keep our loved ones alive so they can have a chance to seek help."
Senate Bill 227, which expands those who can administer naloxone in Indiana, unanimously passed the Senate and has been assigned to the Courts and Criminal Code Committee of the House.
"Substance abuse has been a problem in Porter County for some time," said Beatrice Owen, director of the Porter County Substance Abuse Council. "Our efforts, along with many others in the county, are helping to turn the tide."
The council's latest effort is by sponsoring the screening of an insightful film that explores this stigmatized topic. It's titled, "The Anonymous People," featuring interviews with more than 30 people, among the millions in long-term recovery from addiction, who are making the courageous decision to speak out publicly.
"I heard about this movie while attending a training seminar in Washington, D.C.," Owen told me. "When we returned to Porter County, we investigated the movie. It's about moving addiction from the shadows and into the light."
"People in recovery are especially excited about this," she said. "Imagine feeling stigmatized for years, outcast and unwanted."
"For individuals who have become addicted, we need to make sure treatment is available. And we need to accept addicted individuals. We are very excited about this opportunity to keep the conversation going in Porter County," Owen said.
The film's Northwest Indiana premiere will take place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, at the Portage 16 IMAX Theater. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at http://gathr.us/screening/6957 or by calling the Porter County Substance Abuse Council at 462-0946.
"Our connection is the need to start talking about substance abuse in an open, effective manner," Owen said. "People get sick, we need to help them get better. We need to lessen the incidence of experimentation, abuse, addiction."
By the way, the council sells drug-testing kits to parents who wish to test a child 17 years or younger. The kits cost $5, and parents can purchase up to four kits at a time to regularly test for marijuana, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy.
For more info on the film and its mission, visit its organizer, Many Faces 1 Voice, at http://manyfaces1voice.org. To watch the film's trailer, visit www.the
"This movie is a first step in helping people with addiction feel they are wanted and part of the community," Owen said.

On August 7, 1979, Jay began following Jesus Christ. Since November 1980, he has dedicated himself to developing missional communities of Christ-followers. As an urban missionary he has served on teams to start three urban churches, restarted two other urban churches, and ministered as a senior pastor in an inner city, inter-racial church for nine years.
I see Jesus Christ as Redeemer and Reconciler for all believers throughout history. Yet He does this work for each individual in his or her place in history in a community of faith. Jesus Christ is our eternal contemporary who calls forth followers in every generation. I see my calling here at Multnomah to do my part in nurturing leaders who will develop missional communities of Christ-followers who declare and display the glory of God first in their current context, then to others in theirs. My great passion in following Christ begins with me understanding the time in which we live and communicating Christ to those in it. And it extends to equipping the next generation to engage in following Christ in the advancement of the Church in their time. My greatest joy comes when I experience us fulfilling the purpose of God in our generation.
Held enjoys many activities: cooking, drinking good coffee, traveling with his family, being outdoors-hiking, riding, and running, to name a few. Two of his favorites are dating his wife and playing with his four children, Joy, Joel, Jonathan, and Jean.

This is a great men's zip-up jacket pattern with a stand-up rib collar, raglan sleeves, and pockets. For ours, instead of using tried-and-true sweatshirt fabric to make the basic zip-up we see all the time, we decided on a decadent cable knit with contrasting ribbing, putting a classic spin on a modern staple. Whatever fabrication you decide on, whomever zips up in this cozy creation will surely be pleased!

Oct 28, 2008, 03.53 PMby northernsuze
Wow, beautiful. My Great-Grandmother did something similar for her farming family. She made zip-up vests and lined jackets with the worn hand-knit sweaters. She even took pieces of various men's sweaters and re-cut them for the kids. The family stories report some pretty wild combinations! But one and all loved the mitts and leggings sown out of old felted wool sweaters.
Thanks Burda! Suzanne northern BC Canada

Looks like I'll be haunting thrift shops for some sweaters to chop up for this, only I am thinking V neck with the thick ribbing so it does a kind of shawl collar.
While the boy is young enough to be my son, he is adorable! You are some very lucky girls.
Oct 28, 2008, 11.13 AMby rosalora
I'm like everyone else on here and definitely think you should share your source for that comfy textile! I haven't seen anything like it at all here in the South.
What a cutie! Props to Burda for consistently adorable boys.

looks great, even if I think the black-white contrast is too much with the knitted plait pattern. Thanks a lot!
Oct 27, 2008, 01.40 PMby camilaustral
i really like it!! and i'm hoping the size of the jacket is bigger than the real model size, because i like fitted clothes for my boyfriend and he is thin. thanks for the FREE patern!!!
Oct 27, 2008, 11.05 AMby polychromatin
It looks really great, but I'm not sure if my boyfriend would wear it. btw.: the 4th picture made me melt :D

No surprise there. They had problems with the fire supression system when it arrived in NS. That thing is a disaster waiting to happen. Should have canned it like they did with the sister platform in Norway...due to all the problems with it. Guess you get what you pay for when going the cheap route and having it built in Abu Dhabi.
