This provocative exhibit, boasting six solo shows under one roof, corrals an impressive cast of talent from the United States, Finland, Germany, Thailand, and the United Kingdom to explore how historical works and concepts transform across time and morph through the eyes of diverse audiences. "'The Endless Renaissance' links art from the past and the present, each artist in his or her own way, directly or indirectly," says Silvia Karman Cubiñá, the Bass's executive director and chief curator. Take Barry X Ball's sculptures, which twist classically inspired busts by using bleeding-edge computer technology to carve unusual materials. To create his whiplash-inducing Matthew Barney/BXB Dual-Dual Portrait Ensemble, Ball started with Mexican onyx, stainless steel, and various other materials. Then he employed an arsenal of equipment — including 3-D digital scanning, virtual modeling, and computer-controlled milling — to create a hyper-detailed face. Ball finished the pieces by hand-carving and polishing the uncanny visages. Another notable artist is Germany's Hans-Peter Feldmann, who collects, orders, and re-presents amateur print photographic reproductions, toys, and trivial works of art. His painting of what appears to be a 19th-century aristocrat wearing a red clown nose is full of humor while smacking the starch out of tired notions of traditional portraiture. Thailand's Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, meanwhile, considers art through an outsider's eye with her series Two Planets, in which she presents classic European paintings to villagers in remote Thai towns and then films them discussing the works. Her enchanting digital print Two Planets: Manet's Luncheon on the Grass and the Thai Villagers upends traditional Western notions of viewing and interpreting artwork and helps viewers see these famous paintings anew. Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Walead Beshty, and Ged Quinn round out the roster.

Bohemian Biedermeier Cut & Engraved Glass Spa Beaker
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $310.00
- Quantity Available: 1
Fine Bohemian green-to-clear cut glass Biedermeier footed spa beaker ("spaglas") featuring five panels, each beautifully engraved with Classical symbols. Beakers of this sort originated in the great spa towns of Bohemia, where they were used to take the waters. Wealthy visitors often brought back a goblet as a souvenir of their restorative stay at the spa. This example is packed with finely-engraved symbols of all sorts--an anchor symbolizing hope; a cornucopia symbolizing prosperity; a swan symbolizing erotic love; a lyre symbolizing harmony; and the serpent of Epidaurus drinking from the bowl of Hygeia symbolizing health. The stem is panel cut, while the foot is simply decorated with printies and notches that match the cut vesicas on the sides. Origin: Bohemia, ca. 1830. Condition: excellent, no chips or cracks. Size: 6-1/4" tall.

Eight reasons why we need apologetics
There are several reasons why we need apologetics.
The first and most obvious is that we are commanded to defend the faith: 1 Peter 3:15 says, "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence."
Second, we need apologetics because it helps Christians know their faith. This is something that is sadly lacking among believers. Most don't know much about their faith, let alone be able to describe the Trinity, the two natures of Christ, His physical resurrection, or even to tell the difference between justification and sanctification. Apologetics helps to define and defend what the truth of the gospel is.
Third, apologetics is an attempt to keep people out of hell. God takes sin very seriously, and He will punish those who have rebelled against Him and are not covered in the blood of Christ. As Christians, we should be motivated to present the truth of salvation in Jesus. We should not sit idly by and ignore the dilemma of the unbeliever. We need to tell them that sin is real because God is real, and that breaking God's law has a consequence. Since we have all sinned, we cannot keep God's law perfectly. Also, we cannot undo the offense to an infinitely holy God because we are not infinite or holy; the only thing left for us is to fall under the judgment of God. But God has provided a way for us to escape that judgment. That is why God became man in Jesus. He claimed to be God (John 8:24, 58; compare with Exodus 3:14). Jesus bore our sins in His body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). By trusting in Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, we will be spared from the rightful judgment of God upon the sinner. Salvation is not found in Buddhism, Islam, relativism, or in one's self: It is only found in Jesus. We need to not only defend God's word and truth but also present the gospel to all people, so they can escape the judgment to come.
Fourth, we need apologetics to counter the bad image that Christianity has received in the media and in culture. Televangelists and their scandals--both sexually and monetarily--are a disgrace to Christianity. The Catholic church hasn't helped with its scandals involving priests. On top of that, the media is very biased against Christianity, and you will see negative opinions of Christianity promoted everywhere.
Fifth, we need apologetics because there is a constant threat of apostasy in the visible Christian church. Such is the case with the Metropolitan Community Church denomination, which openly advocates the support of homosexuality in violation of scripture (Rom. 1:18-32). Also, as of 2002, the Evangelical Lutheran Church is in risk of apostasy by entertaining the idea of accepting homosexual relationships into church. "The United Church of Christ set up a $500,000 scholarship fund for gay and lesbian seminarians Friday and urged wider acceptance of homosexuals by other denominations." (United Church Makes Gay Scholarship, CLEVELAND, June 16, 2000, AP Online via COMTEX). Or "The supreme court of the United Methodist Church was asked Thursday to reconsider the denomination's ban on gay clergy." (Church court of United Methodists asked to decide on gay clergy ban, NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Oct. 25, 2001, AP WorldStream via COMTEX). Such examples are demonstrations of the incredible need for defending biblical truth within those churches that claim to be Christian.
Sixth, another reason we need apologetics is that of the many false teachings out there. Mormonism teaches that God used to be a man on another world, that he brought one of his goddess wives with him to this world, that they produce spirit offspring that are born into human babies, and that you have the potential of becoming a god of your own world. The Jehovah's Witnesses teach that there is no Trinity, that Jesus is Michael the Archangel, that there is no hell, and that only 144,000 people will go to heaven. Atheism denies God's existence, openly attacks Christianity, and is gaining ground in public life and schools. Islam teaches that Jesus was not God in flesh, that Jesus did not rise from the dead, and that He did not atone for our sins. It teaches that salvation is partly based on one's works and partly based on Allah's grace. It teaches that the Holy Spirit is the angel Gabriel (Surah 2:97; 16:102); that Jinn are unseen beings created (51:56) from fire (15:27; 55:15); and that Muhammed was greater than Jesus. Even within the Christian church there are false teachings. We can see that from both within the Christian church and outside of it, false teachings are bombarding believers (and nonbelievers) all over the world.
Seventh, the rise of immorality in America is a threat not only to society but also to Christianity. This is a serious issue because an immoral society cannot last long. The Barna Research group statistics show that 64% of adults and 83% of teenagers said moral truth depends on the situation that you are in. Nineteen percent (19%) of the adult population believes that "the whole idea of sin is outdated." Fifty-one percent (51%) believe that "if a person is generally good, or does enough good, he will earn a place in Heaven."
When a society's morals fail, the society fails. Just look at history and think of Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, or present-day Enron, Watergate, and White House interns. Immorality seeps down into all areas of our culture. Consider this: In the New York Times, online, of May 12, 2002, in the article "With Games of Havoc, Men Will Be Boys," the author, Warren St. John, interviews some players of what he says is a very popular video game. One young man says, "What I like to do is get in the car and drive around and do drive-by shootings. You can haul someone out of their car and beat on them and steal their money and their car. It's kind of amusing that you have that ability." . . . A publicist from Long Island says the game's allure comes down to "just going on killing sprees." Not all video games are violent, but the fact that it is so popular and that the youth are being trained up by them is very disturbing.
I am not advocating a theocratic socio-political rule administered by stern Christians wearing black-and-white outfits and tall hats. But these kinds of social trends are disturbing; and they reflect a moral decline in America, where what is good is called evil, and what is evil is called good. God tells us in Phil. 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. We cannot ignore God's word without a consequence.
The eighth reason we need apologetics is that schools are not friendly to Christianity. My own experience in non-Christian schools was a strong awakening to the unprovoked hostility that exists in school, where the philosophy teachers, history teacher, and even the art teacher all took shots at Christianity. Don Feder in the Conservative Chronicle, in his article of Sept. 22, 1993, titled "Fighting Censorship, PAW Does it Its Way," said that in some junior high libraries, book titles included The Joy of Gay Sex and How to Make Love to a Single Woman. There is an impressions series for grades one to six which promote the New Age and the occult; a controversial drug education program called Quest, which tells students that they alone can decide whether or not it's OK to use drugs; as well as texts that direct students to fantasize about suicide, attack religion, and undermine family authority. Following is an email I received that represents the hostility of secular schools.
"Our daughter had acquired an atheist's heart since leaving home and attending college. It seems that the books in college breed atheists because they are full of the philosophy of anti-God thinking. She has been in college for four years now, and one of the last times we had a chance to talk to her, she said that she doesn't think about sin, or heaven, or hell anymore because, according to her, they do not exist. She said that when she was young and asked the Lord to come into her heart, she did not know what she was doing because children do what they are told."
The fact is that Christianity is under attack in the world, and we need to fight the good fight of the faith without shrinking back. We need apologetics to give rational, intelligent, and relevant explanations of Christian viability to the critics and the prejudiced who would seek to undermine the teachings of our Lord Jesus.
If there was ever a time that apologetics is needed, it is now.

I recently received an invitation to my old childhood friend Amy's bridal shower that informed me that the bride was registered at APerfectWeddingGift.com. When I went to the site, I found out that the "perfect" gift I was expected to give her was cold, hard cash, because Amy and Brad had basically registered for money. I was supposed to be delighted about this "no hassle" and "polite way" to give the gift that would make "their wedding dreams come true." Apparently ShakeDowntheGuests.com was considered too crass, and maybe KeepYourDamnToasters.com was already taken.
You guessed it: Bridezilla strikes again.
As you may know, the term bridezilla originates from the story of Godzilla, a cute little lizard who was exposed to poisonous atomic radiation that turned him into a monster. It's my belief that, like Godzilla, most bridezillas are perfectly nice women who, when exposed to the poisonous 45-billion- (yes, BILLION!) dollar-a-year bridal industry, turn into monsters of a very unique sort. Like my friend Amy, for example, who forced her bridesmaids to spend $300 on puce polyester sheaths and then insisted that the entire bridal party get spray-on tans so their "skin would match." (Yes, she actually said that.)
The monstrous behavior of a bridezilla is endlessly fascinating. As proof, entire TV specials are devoted to gleefully categorizing the sins of the bridezilla '- the crying, screaming meltdowns over dyed-to-match shoes that do not, in fact, match; the emails sent to bridesmaids bitchily informing them that they need to lose weight before the wedding; the screeching at three-year-old flower girls to get their "scrawny" butts out there and walk down the aisle.

If those ridiculous cheese-wedge hats — the ones favored by Packers fans that fit perfect over a mullet — make you sick, it's your own fault, Chicago.
Wisconsinite Ralph Bruno says he came up with the cheese hat idea in 1987 when he first became aware Chicago fans had started referring to folks from "America's Dairyland" as a bunch of cheeseheads.
"I like cheese," Bruno said. "I didn't find being called a cheesehead that offensive."
So he made a hat out of foam he was using to upholster his mother's couch into what's now the iconic Cheesehead hat.
"I cut the foam into a wedge, burned holes in it to give it some cheese character and gave it some color," he said. "I wore it to a Brewers game. Some of my friends wouldn't walk alongside me. Then, a girl came up to me and asked to try it on. They all wanted to wear it after that."
His parents thought he was crazy when he quit his job to start Foamation — manufacturers of foam cheeseware from bow ties and key chains to Frisbees and bricks, which are favored by what the company website calls "Extreme Cheeseheads."
Bruno says he's sold hundreds of thousands of cheese hats nationwide over the last quarter century — and he still has the original head wedge at home.
"It's typical for a person from Chicago to shoot his big mouth off. Well, look what calling us cheeseheads got you," Bruno says. "Now, we wear it as a badge."

The De-bugging of Tropical Discovery
by Jan Oen, Chapter Lifestyle/Education Chair
As many avid gardeners know, when you have plants, you are likely to experience a pest population attracted by your luscious vegetation. Stop! Don't reach for the chemicals. There is a better way.
It is called integrated pest management (IPM), a holistic approach consisting of (1) monitoring, (2) assessing damage and (3) using strategy, such as starting with healthy soil, growing resistant varieties, cultural control, sanitation and, as a last resort, using the least toxic pesticides.
On a cold and snowy November day, a few of Sierra Club members met at the Denver Zoo and for a tour of the Tropical Discovery exhibit by Chad Stewart, a horticulturist, who explained the natural pest control method used within the 20,000 square foot "Biome." A rain forest created in the midst of an arid Front Range city, Tropical Discovery opened about four years ago, using IPM from the beginning. With the close integration of plants and animals, IPM presented a non-toxic and environmentally conscious way of controlling aphids, mites, various types of scale, fungus gnats, mealy bugs, white flies and thrips. The building started with 16 known pest species and is now down to a controllable four.
In weekly monitoring of the plants in Tropical Discovery, an increase in the pest population is noted. The appropriate measure can be taken, such as pruning of infested foliage, hosing off problem species or introducing a natural predator. You can try this at home, using the same approach in your own garden or on your indoor plants: monitor, assess damage and apply strategy for controlling pests.
What You Can Do:
Contact your local extension office, such as the CSU Extension Service in Denver, (303) 640-5270), for further details on IPM. Your local library will have many publications on the topic, and watch for the next issue of Peak & Prairie for an upcoming tour of Tropical Discovery.

Moderates? Not in my party!!
November 3, 2009 - John Stack
Moderates? Not in my party!!
The last 2 special 'elections' in the
Gov Paterson had to fill one of our senator's positions when Hilary was named Secretary of State. I believe he made a great choice in choosing Gillibrand. She's definitely no liberal left Democrat. Her somewhat conservative views on financial aspects as well as her support for gun rights doesn't exactly fit in with the Sheldon Silvers and Caroline Maloneys of New York and their ideas of a good liberal democrat. For us upstaters, this seems like a win-win. We get a senator who seems to share the values that we share. But, also because of this, a big part of
The media has been playing up the idea that the GOP is the party of non-inclusiveness. The Hoffman campaign has only fanned the flames of this idea.
The Hoffman campaign seems to have spent more time tearing down Dede Scozzafava calling her an 'ultra liberal'. After Dede dropped out of the race, the spinmeisters of the Conservatives and the GOP claimed this was not an example of the lack of inclusiveness in the Republican Party. That statement is kind of hard to swallow as millions of dollars were thrown towards Hoffman by the national GOP leaders to someone who is as far right and Conservative as one can get, with Dede getting outspent by leaps and bounds on her opponent by her own party. Make no bones about it. The GOP deserted Dede Scozzafava. And for what? She holds 2 socially liberal positions. She is pro-choice and is a gay rights supporter. Otherwise, she is a solid Republican. Yet she was thrown under the bus for an unproven right wing nut who has absolutely no chance of affecting anything substantial in DC and supports a completely unviable flat tax system.
So, its no surprise to most that the far left and far right lead our 2 national and state parties. Unfortunately, it also seems they have no desire to increase their base and include those that may have ideas that aren't as far left or right as theirs.

Great fashion comes from designers who can fuse two apparently contradictory ideas together to create a synthesis that has never occurred to anyone before. That was the order of experimentand risktaken on by Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga. He was aiming, he said, to make something new of "architecture and embellishment, sharpness and ornamentalism."
The show condensed Balenciaga past and present, starting with evocations of Cristobal's cocktail bubbles, creamily rendered in heavy radzimir and embossed silk, and then delivering the surprisedensely elaborated upgrades of Ghesquière's tailoring and drifty patchwork dresses.
It was what he called his "baroque rock star" pantsuits that delivered the biggest jolt of surprise. The strict planes of his familiar lean, nipped-waist, long-leg suits are now etched over in dark Wedgwood-like Jacquard patterns, and worn with high-neck frilled shirts. From there, Ghesquière made his way to light-as-air scarf dresses composed of panels of silk print, inserted with lace and cascading frills; glamorous black gowns, intricately worked in lace and chiffon, suspended from bra straps; and cream organza bell-shape dresses weighted with deeply flounced hems.
If all that sounds molto complicato, there was still more compressed into this brisk presentation. Ironically, those were the things of simple, wearable geniusgray knife-pleated kilts, ingeniously seamed in the back and worn with printed, jeweled rock-tour T-shirtsthat made for a brilliantly chic take on this season's college-girl look.
It all ended up, though, with more baroque and froth: a full Louis XIV fantasy version of the Balenciaga jacket, with extravagant peplums and foppish lace cuffs, and boudoir lingerie paired with droopy bloomers. Those last looks were duds. But when a designer is determined to push creativity to the brink of newness, he's allowed the odd mistake.

With the success and popularity of social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Hi5 and other such sites, the cost of starting a social networking site is getting lower all the time. If you plan to start a social site, you should know the figures for how much does it cost to start a social networking site?
People have different reasons for starting a site, such as for your community soccer club without any financial considerations, or you want to make some money so you plan to start a niche community website for a selected group of people, or you want to start a huge site such as Facebook, with very ambitious financial gains.
The purpose of all social networking sites is the same, i.e. to provide online sharing for members of the community. So you need to determine your target market (age, demography, location). Next decide what type of modules of features you will integrate in the social site, which language is the site going to be in, how many users you think you will attract during the next 12-24 months. You can also avail the option of developing an application in Facebook instead of starting a new social networking site.
For how much does it cost to start a social networking site, you should already know as with most sites nowadays you will find great solutions that are free of cost, free plug-ins which are always viable as a start-up for "just for fun" sites. However, if you are planning a large site, you should consider better solutions. It would devastate you that your software platform has been abandoned and updates will no longer be available.
Social networking sites can be started for as little as $500/- right up to $100,000/- all depending upon your requirements. For a fully programmed social networking site, all customs code small firms charge between $3000-4000/- plus the setup and hosting charges and maintenance fee. The designer/developer will also charge you monthly if you want regular maintenance.
For how much does it cost to start a social networking site, we suggest
that i t is easy to create your own site considering the options
available. To minimize costs you need a DIY (Do it yourself) solution.
With some pre-built programs you don't need a lot of technical skills or
programming knowledge. You can add your own features, brand your network
and add what you think necessary, free of cost.

TORONTO —Joffrey Lupuls unlikely rise up the NHLs scoring charts has earned him the Toronto Maple Leafs nomination for the Masterton Trophy. Justin Tucker Jersey . The 28-year-old winger had his career threatened in 2010 by two back surgeries and a blood infection, but he returned from a year on the sidelines to produce 67 points in 66 games this season. Lupul sat fifth in NHL scoring when he suffered a shoulder injury earlier this month. The Masterton Trophy is awarded annually for "perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey" and is voted on by local members of each chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. The award winner will be announced June 20 in Las Vegas. Among the other nominees are Edmonton Oilers defenceman Corey Potter, Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson and Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty. Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg have yet to announce its nominations for the Masterton Trophy. Ray Rice Ravens Jersey . The 6-foot-10 forward signed a three-year, $18 million contract with Phoenix on Friday, then faced questions about his past head-on at a news conference. "I realize 10 minutes of feeling good is not really worth putting my life and my career and my legacy in jeopardy," he said, "so Im confident to say that that part of my career, that part of my life, is over and wont be coming back. Ray Lewis Jersey . Russell, 19, finished third in her heat in two minutes, 08.76 seconds. It was almost three-tenths faster than her heats earlier in the day, and she struggled to catch her breath as she spoke with reporters. http://www.nflravensfansshop.com/torrey-smith-jersey/ . —The persistence that helped Cameron Wake make the transition from mortgage broker and frustrated couch potato to AFC sack co-leader is evident every time he chases a quarterback. Ed Reed Elite Jersey .S. Open. The gritty Spaniard Ferrer straight-setted 6-foot-8 South African Kevin Anderson 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) at Armstrong Stadium. Anderson misfired for 31 unforced errors on Day 3 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Ray Lewis Womens Jersey . The five Christmas games Sunday attracted large audiences, with the Bulls-Lakers matchup drawing the third-highest preliminary rating for a regular-season game on ABC.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —The Jacksonville Jaguars could be without starting left tackle Eugene Monroe for Fridays preseason game at New Orleans. Monroe left the practice field on a cart Wednesday after getting hit in the head during drills. Team doctors were checking him for a possible concussion, and coach Mike Mularkey says the results will determine whether Monroe plays against the Saints. Losing Monroe would be the latest setback for an already shuffled offensive line. Ray Lewis official Jersey. Guard Will Rackley missed the preseason opener because of a high-ankle sprain, is still wearing a walking boot and will be sidelined at least another week. Backup guard Jason Spitz is out at least a month with a foot injury, and reserve centre is John Estes is likely out for the season with a knee injury. ' ' '

Birthday Orchestra 120mm
Holga 120mm Kodak 400 TMAX
When I turned 27 I organized this Birthday Orchestra with my friends. They got placed in groups of 4 that were each color coded. You had to play or improvise around the note or scale given. The idea was to form these huge chords throughout the room while 2 drummers grooved around dynamic suggestions. Hoping to do it again this year in March! Videos provided by Katy Pine to get an idea of what went down. There were some really magical moments, thanks a ton to everyone who was there. R.I.P.

The Brownie camera is held just in front of you and there is a viewfinder that reflects what you can see in front of you its so quirky and amazing!! (A little hard to describe, sorry if it sounded like mumbo jumbo) it was manufactured in 1915 so this little camera has seen alot in its day... although i am sure i cant use it anymore if there is anyone who has tried it with film please tell me how it went..
From stories i have heard my great grandfather was a pretty amazing man so im proud to have just a little something to know him by..even if i have never met him.
XX Ill be back tomorrow with an outfit post

Such a cool family heirloom! I have a collection of vintage jewelry from my grandmother that I just love. I know there are a lot of people who collect and use vintage cameras. I think they take a special type of film that you might be able to get online, but you should definitely look into it!ReplyDelete
What a treasure! I love the whole 'untold stories' aspect of antique and vintage items such as these.ReplyDelete
so so lovely!ReplyDelete
I have a box brownie too, my Nana gave it to me, it had belonged to her family. I have had it for about 15 years and never tried it out. This one is a 2A model C so it is taller, I think. Very cool to have handed down!ReplyDelete
Looks lovely :) I've been very lazy at using my brownies. I really ought to take the working one out for a spin some time :DReplyDelete
I had a quick look and you can download the free manual here Awesomness.

If there's any County in North Carolina that needs more news coverage it's Union. So I am encouraged by the story in today's Enquirer Journal detailing the changes slated for next month.
Enquirer Journal has always been Monroe's local newspaper. In years past they tried to expand into Indian Trail and Waxhaw with separate publications. Unfortunately, neither publication proved economical.
This just follows a national pattern, traditional media across the country is under great pressure as readership habits and the Internet news sources have eroded their paying subscribers.
The EJ article announced that they were going to drop Associated Press national and state stories from their content. I'm sure that will be a cost savings to say the least, but state stories are very important to the County. Hopefully they'll find another source.
The other surprise, at least me, is the reduction of the print paper publication to three days a week, Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. With their revamped website, including mobile and tablet formatting, they should be able to bridge the content gap easily, though I wonder if the lack of print advertising will adversely affect their revenue.
The Enquirer Journal is actually the County newspaper in my view. I am a fan and I'm looking forward to seeing new changes implemented.
More local news, more color coming to the Enquirer-Journal
New, more colorful local news is coming to The Enquirer-Journal.
In March, the newspaper's content will become increasingly local with the addition of public records news such as court news, property transfers, building permits, marriage licenses and divorce decrees among other items.
To help increase the amount of locally generated information, more local columnists will be added including food, gardening, religion and community columnists.
Most local photos taken by the newspaper's staff will be published in full color, particularly photos of local high school sports.
With an emphasis on more local content, the use of national and state stories from the Associated Press will be discontinued.
Along with the increase in local news and information, on March 3, 2013, The Enquirer-Journal will change publication of the print edition of the newspaper to Sunday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

In this video, Steven takes us through a private coaching session with Sabrina Miller. Sabrina is obviously a wonderfully talented and experienced singer. The exciting thing is to realize that even for someone as accomplished as she is, there is always further to go and more to discover.

"Sing from the diaphragm!", yelled the teacher! You looked around you and everyone else seemed to understand what she meant. So you did your best to sing louder as your face got red and your veins popped out on the sides of your neck. But you lacked a couple of pieces of essential information – where the heck IS your diaphragm and how do you "sing" from it?

With the Iraq war ending and the conflict in Afghanistan nearing a close, thousands of soldiers are returning from battle. Many are afflicted with injuries that can't easily be seen.
Ronnie Sadoski is an Army vet with PTSD who started Wags for Tags, an organization that rescues dogs from kennels and trains them for emotional companionship with soldiers.
"When I was thinking about doing something stupid, then I think about her, and who's gonna take care of her? She takes care of me, I take care of her, and if i'm gone, then she has nobody. So it keeps me going."
Wags for Tags is just one of the many organizations participating in the first ever Warrior Jam, a benefit and concert to support soldiers with mental health issues.
The Jam is sponsored by Patriot Outreach, headed by Col. Antonio Monaco.
"The programs that we have help bridge the gap between the two and three percent that actually ask for help, and the silent majority that doesn't want to reach out," said Monaco.
Monaco said getting people, particularly men, to reach out for help is difficult. Many are afraid they won't be able to deploy again if they cite any mental health issues.
Jill Charles is the lead singer of the band Red Trii. Her husband is deployed now for the third time. She said at times the stress is unbearable, not just for her husband, but for their family too.
"What I do to survive is I pray during those deployments. I seek out opportunity to give to the community like this, so I stay busy," said Charles.
In July, 38 Army service members committed suicide, the worst month since the Army started tracking those deaths. Suicide is now the leading cause of death among active-duty soldiers, more than combat deaths.
Organizers of Saturday's event hope to lower those numbers with more events like Warrior Jam. They also plan to hold this event annually.

Screenrant Answer: technically no.
Screenrant Answer: technically no.
It's here and you don't care.
In a press release HBO has just announced that they will be offering a stand-alone streaming service in 2015, releasing the shackles of the major cable networks (a la Netflix).
Maybe you can have it all.
Make it happen.
Get those rave sticks and glow necklaces ready for lazy Sunday night couch sitting, Bros.
If you didn't already think HBO knows what the hell it's doing, this year it gave Mike Judge and John Oliver their own shows.
Admit it, bros.
HBO threw you for a loop, playing this bizarre trailer for an upcoming show The Leftovers.
HBO has some fun with its new YouTube commercials advertising HBO Go.
Here's more proof that the world is out of original ideas but ripe with lunatics.

The best coconut shrimp I've had was at Red Lobster! Yum!!! I think I want some right now!ReplyDelete
Coconut shrimp! Yum! My favorite. I love the ones at Joes Crab Shack. We go there just so I can have their coconut shrimp and their amazing dipping plum sauce. That and the kids play in the playland and it's almost a date for me and Brent. If that isn't the correct answer let me know what you figure out. I love coconut shrimp!ReplyDelete
I like coconut shrimp at Red Lobster. And their cheddar biscuits--yummy!ReplyDelete
We had some really good Coconut shrimp at Market Street. We actually took the kids and Savannah LOVED it.ReplyDelete
thanks for all of your suggestions! It's so weird, i swear we had them at the cheesecake factory as an appetizer, but they claim the don't make them. i am wondering if they call them prawns.ReplyDelete
we did go to outback and tried theirs... they were really good, but the sauce wasn't as good as the mystery's place. we'll have to try some of these other restaurants you've suggested :)
thanks again for your help!
Do you have a Bone Fish grill in your neck of the woods? If so, that's where I'd head!ReplyDelete

"Been handling the game for so long, my thumb's bruised." - Lil' Wayne
It's this year's hot subject. And for good reason: it's had a pretty major impact on digital across the board. From how we design interfaces to how we strategize participation, game design is here to stay for awhile.
In this class, I'm going to focus on how game design principles can improve strategy and creative for brands. To get to the point: 'Gamification' is not just badges and attaching points to everything. What we can learn from games could result in a substantial shift in how we in the advertising and marketing industry approach everything from creative to social media to CRM.
I grew up with games. I'm obsessed with trying to make more of them because everything should be more fun. But I also ended up in advertising. So I'm going to go over the basics of gamification, but more appropriately take a look at how game design can improve and affect our work in the Ad Industry.
All levels welcome. Creatives, Strategists, Account People, Interns to Dishwashers, I don't discriminate.
(Btw, I'm going to try to keep gaming puns to an absolute minimum if nobody minds. None of this "Level Up to the Bonus Stage of Brand Engagement!" ridiculousness. Keepin' it real, folks.)
Coming soon...
Coming Soon...
For the last year, I've been very heavily involved as one of the project leads on an integrated game platform for Captain Morgan called Captain's Conquest. ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/captains-conquest/id509306827?mt=8 ) Captain's Conquest is a massively multiplayer mobile app (iOS and Android!) that links together location, battling for your city, brand narrative, and consumer engagement in a fun package. It's ambitious to say the least.
As for me I've held a lot of jobs in advertising, but for the last five years I've been at Anomaly (Named as one of the World's 50 Innovative Companies by Fast Company) with the occupation most recently of Creative Director across a number of key clients such as Nike Fuel and Diageo. But I'm also obsessed with trying to understand the behaviorial triggers that makes a person do one thing over another and have been increasingly involved in the field of game design. I've also won several shiny awards if you're into that.
If you're still concerned about my creds, for a brief time I was Top 10 in the World in competitive Warcraft 2. I'm happy to discuss any build order strategies to get Ogre Mages asap on the Garden of War map. Sorry, no, I will not play you in Starcraft 2 nor do I have any leet loot drops in Diablo to trade.

Perfect scandinavian middle name needed!
Our newborn daughter is Nina ...or Vita . I was 100% sure Nina is the winner, but after reading your comments I lean toward Vita (who was always number 2 on all our lists). What is my great request is to find lovely, feminine, strong and full of meaning SCANDINAVIAN and only scandinvian middle name. Our first choice, Frederika..we liked it, not loved, we we're testing it and we are still waiting for the one, name with kick. As we still don't know, witch first name would be the finalone, make sets as you wish - with Vita or Nina as a FN.
We will be over the moon with some fresh look.Zelda Astrid - 21.02.2011

What about Frederikke instead of Frederika? I admittedly prefer Frederika but Frederikke is lovely as well - and Scandinavian. Nina Frederikke or Vita Frederikke.
I think Vita works better with Zelda and Dashiell than Nina does, but I am probably biased because Nina is very clunky and old-fashioned here in Denmark.

|What is the best way to discourage this? I never had this problem at our last house, but the beds there were mulched with rock, here we are using a cedar mulch. The worst part is I suspect it is the next door neighbors, who we are friends with.
Follow-Up Postings:
|The perfect solution would be if your neighbors would keep their cat indoors where it would live a longer and healthier life anyway :), but there are some things you can try.
Scarecrow Motion Activated sprayer, expensive and you have to leave it connected to a garden hose so not useful in freezing weather. It really can work for training wandering pets when used the right time of year though....combination of noise, motion, water have them looking for new 'digs'.
Lengths of chicken wire cut to fit between your plants, if they can't dig and scratch the ground or your mulch, they will find someplace else to go. Downside - it's unattractive and you risk catching a foot on it and tripping.
Get Off My Garden green jello-like cubes, available at most pet stores, have worked for me. Critter Ridder by Havahart (the pet friendly people) is a granular product that is also an effective repellent.
Can you tell I've shared your problem, having used all of the above at one time or another? I like cats, I just don't like cleaning up after someone else's, and I resent them stalking my birdbath....
|I had a neighbor's cat who discovered my kids sandbox was the world's biggest litter box. Yuck. I put a cover on it. But I share your pain. I found cats scratching in one of my perennial beds. Up to no good. I peeled some oranges and scattered the peels around my plants. Cats left. They hate citrus.

|Is your garden being eaten by voles or your lawn tunneled by moles? Got gophers? Are mice nesting in your mulch and gnawing your flowers and shrubs. Are chipmunks making your life miserable. Be glad the cat is visiting your garden. BTW, cat poop turns into good compost by spring. Just my humble opinion but check out this link. BTW, if I have seedlings or something that the cats must stay away from, I push 4 or 5 inch sticks into the soil every few inches. Cats avoid that area.
Here is a link that might be useful: Varmits in the garden
|Scarecrow sprinkler did it for me a few years ago...
Also I think the neighbor stopped feeding the strays after I complained (thought they were her cats, they were actually strays)...
|I bought a "Catch-'em-Alive" trap and when I start having this problem, I set it in the back yard, inside my fence. When I catch a cat, I take it trap and all to the Humane Society and let them take it out of the trap and find it a new home or what ever they do with them.
|Loose cats are really a pain and they are decimating the bird population. Grrr. Cats (and dogs) hate to step on anything spiky. The chicken wire is cheaper or you can buy pre-made spikes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cat Scat
- Posted by highalttransplant z4CO (My Page) on Fri, Oct 20, 06 at 12:32
|When I went back and read my original post, I realized that I left out the word "cat". That really would be a problem if it were the "neighbors", LOL!!! I'm surprised no one else caught that.
Anyway, I know that cats are beneficial as far as running off other garden varmits (and I have indoor cats, so don't think I'm a cat hater), but I can't tolerate stepping on fresh poo when I'm working in the garden!
Jannie: We have a large sandbox too, but so far the privacy fence is enough to keep them out of the backyard. The orange peels sound like an inexpensive solution, so I may try that first. I'm assuming it won't harm the plants.
The scarecrow sprinkler seems like overkill in this situation, plus you can only use it for half the year (due to our zone). However, there are deers in the area, so I may need one in the future.
I definitely don't want to use a trap, as that would likely ruin our relationship with the neighbors.
Nancyd: Thanks for the link. That looks like a good solution if the orange peels don't work.
Notice how I'm starting with the cheapest solution first. Thanks everyone for the excellent ideas!
|Cats in my area love cedar mulch and use it as their litter box. We use a combination hemlock/pine mulch in our beds, which cats apparently hate. :-)
We also sprinkle Shake Away (granulated predator urine, a fox/bobcat blend - I think) along the perimeter of our property, which keeps them out of our yard.
|I read of someone who used the trimmings from her annual rose pruning. She cuts them into lengths and then sticks the prickly sticks in the ground like little spikes.
BTW, if I had a neighbor who was catching cats and then transporting them straight to the Humane Society, we would be at eternal odds.
|You might as well be mad at me for trapping your cat, as me be mad at you because I can't work my beds without getting a hand full of cat crap! In our town, there is a leash law for dogs and cats. You are supposed to keep your animals penned up, on a leash, or in the house. It is against the law to allow them to roam free.
|Well when I first read your post I was going to suggest chasing your neighbor out of your beds with a broom but I see now you were talking about their cat. I know what you are going through because we had five cats last year and they kept the beds well fertilized.
|Try calling your city offices. Most cities have a leash law and will trap the offending animal for you.
I had my city come out and trap one of my neighbors cats this Summer and deliver it straight to the Humane Society. Guess the neighbors should have considered that before they let their cat roam loose.....
- Posted by highalttransplant z4CO (My Page) on Mon, Oct 23, 06 at 12:25
|I checked and there is a leash law here, so if you call the police when the animal is present, they will capture the animal and give the owner (assuming you know who the animal belongs to) a citation. However, as I mentioned, the next door neighbors are very nice, so I don't want to ruin our friendship if there is another way to solve the problem.
|The next door neighbors are not very nice if they let their cat out to run wild about your garden, making a mess, and hunting birds or fish (I have a pond) The very last thing I want to find is cat scat when I go working in my garden beds, or the remains of a bird or fish!
Confront the neighbors, and tell them that it makes you mad. It is not worth keeping your own frustration bottled up inside you, nor should you have to, after all.
|Cats really don't like the water. The scare crow is the easiest thing to do. It will not need to be used very long as cats remember after a few times. Leave it hooked up and then un-hook it in the winter. They will not return. In the future if other cats bother you then re-hook-simple. Works for lots of animals not only cats. People too. I don't mind the cats at all-now dogs can trample over all my plants.
|There is another thing that emits a high-pitched shreiking noise as well, I don't know how well it works on cats.
I vote you don't speak to your neighbors about it unless you find the problem truly intractable. My money says the scarecrow water thingy will quickly train the cat to go elsewhere and then you can take it down.
- Posted by highalttransplant z4CO (My Page) on Tue, Oct 24, 06 at 18:51
|It is already time to winterize the sprinklers in our zone, so it would be too late to try the scarecrow this year. If one of the other suggestions doesn't work, I may try it next year.
- Posted by whimsicalbee 5 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 25, 06 at 23:53
|I've tried orange peels and rose cuttings at the same time(chopped up and spread around the garden) and that seems to keep them from using it as a litter box, they still come by and chase birds and squirrels! Next year I would like to add some gardens to attract song birds so if the neighbors don't take them in, we'll have them trapped and call "Animal Control" to pick them up... it's sad to think they'll be outdoors in the bitter cold all winter. :(
|Laying chicken wire flat on the beds works like a charm. The plants will grow through it and cats don't like catching their claws in the wire. I'd put it on over the mulch. Cat droppings are not good for compost as they can carry parasites.

text: There's a song title on Chris Cagle's second album that gets right to the heart of the problem -- ''Chicks Dig It,'' which could well serve as the manifesto of country radio and its devotion to a presumably sentimental female demographic. Cagle has a little vocal character and some promise as a writer, but like most recent male upstarts, he's so devoted to soaring sweetness that even the up-tempos feel like ballads. Memo to Cagle: Chicks dig cojones, too.
