Here we go with the next clues for MOO's Egg Hunt! I have to admit, we are really impressed with how fast some of you are getting these. You seem to be racing through them – even the people who aren't getting every last bit of the clues are doing ridiculously well.
If you haven't got every Egg so far, please don't worry – there are loads more clues and loads more prizes. If you can't answer these, the chances are there will be another clue along soon, to light up that magic bulb inside your clue-solving brain.
One of our fantastic behind-the-Egg-scenes crew, Alicia, said to mention that we can only accept the Egg-Codes for Eggs that are live right now. So, if you stumble across an Egg somewhere which hasn't had it's clue released, it's not valid. You have to wait for the clue to be given -lucky guesses don't count! (And aside from anything else, you'll wear Alicia out, and she's a bit too useful to get rid of just yet!)
Here's this afternoons clues:
Clue for Egg Eight
If your eggs are not boiled, but simmered.
And you've stolen a pheasant for dinner.
Now find a card to send to your friends
As an invite so your party they may attend
Then simply type in the apropos verb
And the egg will appear, most superb!
Hint #1: Which of our products would you send as an invite?
Clue for Egg Nine
The beat poets were ver' fond of rhythm
But but made rhyme schemes
dependant on nothin'
Free rap of a sort
with a mashable tack
The metaphors were acrylic
an' quite monolithic
So we're always searching for the
five, five and two
Hint #1: One of our contest partners is on the 'make'.
And finally, the winners of Eggs Three, Four and Five! We
Woo! Got number 9!
Oops, I mean number 8. *is a little excited*
I can't quite work this out, hahah… I know the word and the product for egg 8, but I'm no closer to finding it!
I can figure out the word in #8, I just can't figure out where to type it!
argh, i've nearly got 9, i think, maybe? but i can't seem to fully get it!
(this is totally NOT the spring cleaning i promised my husband i'd do today)
Got 9. I think 8 may have appeared and be toying with me
i think i found a clue that hasn't gone live, but then again, i can't be sure. will i be told? on my search for #6, one popped up, but now it's gone. help?
just want to know because that was my 5th entry.
Don't even know where to START with 9…
my skype is adamsever i think its somthing to do with http://mashable.com/2007/07/23/online-media search moo there
These are tough, I think we need a clue.
Found 9, but the code I found for #4 isn't the same as the one it source code.
So, am I right in thinking that you could only get egg#3 if you were subscribed to the newsletter *before* the competition started?
It was my first thought and I immediately signed up for it, but I guess only the next newsletter will come to me…
ok so i found an egg id hadnt found yet but i have no idea which one it is
@ Veronica
Ditto. I am not 100% sure that the egg I found was live yet or not. Why can't they just schedule them for a certain time so that we can't stumble upon ones that aren't yet active?
Yeah, me too. I can't be sure if the one that I found matches the clues that are live currently.
#4, I scoured the source code but never found anything. And for #6 I know the egg didn't pop up until the second time I got to the page. Also, the newsletter never came to me either because I signed up for it yesterday. Which means I definitely wasted at least a couple hours looking for these particular eggs.
I think I've stumbled upon two eggs that havent gone live yet. I was sure one was #4, but that turned out way wrong.
The other I think is #6, but it's appeared in two different areas.
So I apologize to Alicia and Little MOO if I overwhelm them with uncracked eggs.
9 is driving me crazy. i have spent hours trying to figure it out! please give us a hint????
I think I know what they want for 8 but apparently I'm not going to the right place for it. Oh well.
When / how do we get the hints?
i cannot find #9 to save my life. CLUE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE….not sure if i found the correct one for 8 but i did find one.
Adam: quite possibly, I was chasing up the "acrylic pendant" idea… might be barking up completely the wrong tree! I feel quite outclassed here!
yay the clue for #9 put me back on the right track and I found it!
now to crack #8 . . .
Don't you just love AJAX?
I feel like such an idiot because I can't figure these two out. I know where to put the word for 8, but not which word…I've tried every one I can think of.
And I haven't a clue on #9…even with the clue. >

I really don't understand racism in the real world. People are what
people are, regardless of skin pigmentation or where their ancestors came

loathe everyone equally.

One foot in this photo is in a legal concealed carry zone, while the other is in a gun free zone.
Make sense to you? Me neither.
Useless, pointless, ineffective and ill-conceived legislation gets people killed.
Write your congress leech.
Last time, I relayed the first part of the Chicken Little Diaries: A Shooting Range Zoning Saga. It was about a neighborhood and town council reaction to the proposed opening of an indoor shooting range. This week, the saga continues…
Every neighborhood has one of "those guys", right?
Ours is a very left-leaning political activist. He's so far left-leaning that he regularly tips over while walking in counter-clockwise circles. He's so active that we frequently see large numbers of alfalfa-powered adult trikes parked in front of his house.
At first, I assumed these were gatherings of the Sedona, Arizona fan club. You know, when they plan the annual communal building of a happy-thought-powered rainbow bridge connecting the local Whole Foods wheat grass juice bar and Brown University. Later I found out he's really Mini-Me-Obama, in charge of the local political regime. You would think these political gatherings are harmless, but I nearly wrecked my bike the other day, almost rear ending a departing Prius with a low battery charge.
Anyway, one day after circumventing what I believe to be the local Venezuelan consulate here in our neighborhood, I exited my car, in my driveway, only to be approached by the aforementioned guy.
I knew he wanted to talk about some activist thing, and I was feeling particularly spunky, so I decided to engage. I've been assured by my esteemed Editorship over at Bearing Arms that any bail and/or legal fees directly related to my work are fully covered. It's mentioned right after the clause guaranteeing that I can sign up for Obamacare on my own nickel. It's all right there in my Bearing Arms contract. Umm, I do have a contract, right?
In the interest of education, and to see if I can actually make any readers physically nauseous just from reading, I'm recreating the ensuing conversation here to the best of my recollection. I was speaking with my neighbor the whole time, but given all the sound bites he as throwing my way, sometimes I wasn't quite sure who I was talking to…
My Tilting Neighbor: I'm glad I caught you. Do you have a minute to talk?
Me: Oh, really? [I already knew why he was there, but couldn't resist engaging in the discussion from scratch. I'm sorry. But not really.] Do you want to borrow alfalfa sprouts? Or a cup of wheat grass juice? No disrespect, but as I keep trying to tell you, I don't have any hippie food. I eat bacon, wrapped in bacon. Usually with a side order of bacon.
Hugo Chavez: No, not that. Some other neighbors are signing a petition, and I wanted to see if you would sign it too.
Me: Oh? A petition to tear down the golf driving range and replace it with a clay target course? Great! Where do I sign?
Wolf Blitzer: Well, no. They want to build a shooting range in the old Food Lion store.
Me: That's even better! I'd love to have one there! That old Food Lion never had ammo in stock anyway. Where do I sign?
Ted Kennedy's Suit: Well actually some people are concerned about it.
Me: What, that it won't be big enough? That's okay, I'm sure we'll find a way to manage. We can share and all that.
Susan Sarandon: Well actually, we're concerned about the kind of people that type of business could attract.
Me: Oh. You mean people like me, my wife, my son, and my daughter?
Rachel Maddow: Well… We're also concerned about children. There's a dance school and a karate studio in the same strip mall. Children will be walking all around there. And people will have guns going back and forth to the shooting range.
Me: Whew, that's a relief. I've been worried about all those kids walking around unprotected forever. Glad to see they'll be safer now.
Timothy O'Leary: Umm, but we don't want all those guns near all those children!
Me: You do realize that we live in South Carolina and 119% of the homes in our neighborhood already have guns, right?
Cher: (Blank look)
Me: So if one of the homes in our neighborhood has children in it and that home doesn't have guns, that means the houses to the left right and behind all have multiple guns. And their guns have guns. I'm just sayin'.
Sean Penn: But what about the crime? Having a gun range so close by will be a crime risk!
Me: More than the Food Lion? The one that had an armed robbery just before it was closed by the health department? [Uncontrollable laughter] I guarantee you that parking lot will be the safest one within 20 miles of here.
Bill Maher: I hope you're right…
Me: When was the last time you heard about an armed robbery in a gun store?
Cindy Sheehan: [Crickets…] Well, I 'm guessing you won't be signing the petition then?
Me: I'm guessing you don't want to go to the range with me later?
UPDATE: The Town Council vetoed the indoor range as it required a zoning variance. But we get the last laugh. The space is already zoned appropriately for a retail gun store (without a range) and construction begins soon with a grand opening 90 days later.
Wait for the shrieks of panic. Wait for it…
Grab a copy of my free eBook, A Fistful of Shooting Tips. It will help make you a better shooter and the envy of your range in no time.
Back to back Second Amendment victories emerged from an unlikely source – the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In two cases filled with irony, it turned out that California's recent ban on open carry paved the way for the concealed carry victory. Huh?
Monkeys are now flying out of my… well, never mind.
While California bans open carry at the state level, concealed carry policies and restrictions are determined at the county level. Frustrated by permit refusals from San Diego County, five residents sued, challenging the county's requirement for "proof of need" to obtain a concealed carry permit. Apparently, if you've been murdered more than once, you "might" be eligible to obtain a carry permit in some locales.
On February 13th, the appeals court ruled on the Peruta v. San Diego case in favor of the residents and ruled the "may issue" concealed permit policy unconstitutional.
"We are not holding that the Second Amendment requires the states to permit concealed carry," Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain, a Reagan appointee, wrote for the panel. "But the Second Amendment does require that the states permit some form of carry for self-defense outside the home."
With no open carry option on the table, and concealed carry effectively banned in many California counties due to arbitrary permit issuance policies, the court agreed that citizens were effectively prevented from exercising their Second Amendment rights.
In a follow-up case, Richards vs. Sheriff Ed Prieto, Yolo County, California's "may issue" concealed carry permit policy was also shot down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court rejected the county argument that the case circumstances were materially different than Peruta vs. San Diego.
"Today's ruling reinforces the Second Amendment's application to state and local governments, and will help clear the way for more California citizens to exercise their right to bear arms," said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. "California officials have been put on notice that they can no longer treat the Second Amendment as a heavily regulated government privilege."
According to the San Jose Mercury News, permits permit applications have been flooding in to a number of counties since the ruling, with many seeing double the annual average of applications in the past few weeks.
The bottom line? These two cases have solidified the position that Second Amendment rights apply outside the home – at least for California residents. At the national level, the Ninth Circuit decision is contrary to similar cases in the Second, Third and Fourth Circuit courts, so Supreme Court intervention is likely at some point.
Keep the pressure on folks!

Here's a link to today's article at Bearing Arms…
2014 is going to be the year of relentless attack on our Second Amendment rights.
His Royal-ness the Dishonorable Nanny-pants Bloomberg is now unemployed, and will be able to devote his full and undivided attention to helping us understand what's best for us. We have a President in office, who, while not otherwise occupied vacationing, seems to believe that his lack of experience qualifies him to make unilateral decisions that no one else wants or agrees with. And last but not least, Vice President Grumpy McCrankyPants has not yet been distracted by a new Cracker Jacks trinket, so he's still on a gun control rampage. Oh yeah, and Piers Morgan still lives here.
With all that looming in front of us, it's time that everyone understands the real history of the Second Amendment. You heard it here first folks…
In a faraway land called Murrica, there was a great struggle, lasting many days and nights. You see, the settlers of Murrica were tormented by an insatiable and covetous evil troll known as George Threepence. While George lived across the great waters, in the hinterlands, he insisted on taxing the settlers with many fees and regulations. After all, he did not get the name George Threepence for his generosity.
Fed up with overzealous overdraft fees and parking tickets without representation, the villagers of Murrica were desperate to be free of the troll. They called upon a new leader, George Chiseled-Face for help. George Chiseled-Face had a plan. He knew that the good people of Murrica were well schooled in the use of magic kablooey powder and many of them maintained stores of it for their personal protection and other uses.
Without delay, George Chiseled-Face rode throughout the land of Murrica, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Militia! Militia! That means you – all you settlers of Murrica!" And it was in this way, that the people of Murrica had determined to organize themselves into a fighting force to oust George Threepence, the troll. For the people did not trust big armies like George the troll had. They preferred to call themselves up to service and yell "Militia!" with great enthusiasm as needs arose. It was most exhilarating!
Using their wits, a collection of farm animals and copious quantities of magic kablooey powder, the good people of Murrica, led by George Chiseled-Face and many fair and white-wigged princes, fought battle after battle with troll George's Red Socks, until finally forcing them out at home plate.
People who play with guns have all sorts of reasons for not joining the NRA. I forgot. My dog ate my computer. My dog peed on my computer. I am a member – I sent them $10 27 years ago. I bought a used gun, so I'm automatically a member. Isn't it part of my AARP membership? I have my voter registration card, so I'm a member. I watch Top Shot on TV – doesn't that make me a member? I got my membership in a box of Lucky Charms.
We've heard all the excuses. With that said, here's our Top 13 list of reasons NOT to join the NRA…
Bu seriously folks. No excuses. If you own a gun, believe in little details like your right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of satellite TV, then you need to join the NRA.
Yeah, they've probably done something you disagree with, but so has your spouse/brother/sister/father/mother/child/neighbor. So get over it. Join all the other organizations you like. We do. There are a lot of great ones out there. Just be sure to add a +1 to that 4 million member number that freaks out all those certified politicians in Washington.
The best thing about putzing about the gun and shooting industry, and I do mean putzing, is the variety of interesting people I get to meet. One of those is the Reverend Kenn Blanchard, known online and in Homeland Security response strategy meetings as Black Man With A Gun.
I met Kenn for the first time almost a year ago at The Battle of A Top Secret Location Near Knoxville, TN – otherwise known as the LuckyGunner.com 2011 Blogger Shoot and automatic weapons happy fun festival. Right away, I knew Kenn was a man on a mission. My first words to him were something along the lines of "Why are you here in the tent working instead of shooting machine guns and cannons? Are you some kind of fairy?" After dusting myself off and putting a cold steak on my newly minted black eye, I found Kenn to be a pretty nice guy. With a killer right hook. No wonder Homeland Security has been harassing him for years.
I'm pleased to share some, ah, unusual insight with Kenn Blanchard: Marine, Pastor, Gun Rights Activist, Historian, Shooter and generally swell dude. Enjoy…
My Gun Culture: By my count, you were on the terrorist watch list before there was one. If you started advocating for personal protection rights in 1991, you even pre-date The Department of Homeland Security! Are you really that old?
Kenn Blanchard: Dern, you made me think on that one. But you're right. I was into terrorism before it was a household word. Before 9/11, I traveled to a lot of not so nice places in the world to protect or return American families from harm in foreign places. I broke rules, did cool stuff and never lost anyone on my watch. I never escaped US Customs though. I fit every profile of a narco trafficker they had so I've been searched more in the US (thankfully) than abroad. And all before biometrics and detection devices that smell residue. I've had a lot of dogs get familiar with my private parts searching for stuff I didn't have, but its all good.
MGC: As a dog person, I know for a fact that dogs just like to invade your, umm, private areas, just to make you blush! So given your experience with customs and good old-fashioned grope searches, how do you feel about the TSA's new porn scanners?
Kenn: I practically wear pajamas now when I fly. The TSA reminded me of the time when I was a exotic dancer. I have to keep myself from going into a routine when I get in the booth or it feels like someone is trying to put money on me, but I digress.
MGC: I notice from your bio that you lobbied in the great state of South Carolina for gun rights. Being that I live there now I would love to hear that story – especially since I am now benefitting from your work here…
Kenn: Yes sir, when I decided to grow old, I changed jobs and tried my hand at political persuasion. I worked with the National Rifle Association in South Carolina to talk politics, freedom and religion to a nice guy in SC legislature that was also a pastor but had the wrong information of self defense, the right to carry and his history. I preached in his office, converted his staff and then made him listen to me on one of the best elevator pitches I have ever managed in Columbia. By the time I testified, he was giving us an AMEN for the RKBA. I was just starting to realize my calling into the gospel ministry but you gotta use what you got to get what you need.
MGC: Well thank you very much for getting the great state of South Carolina in order before I moved here! You saved me a lot of trouble! So let's talk about your move into the ministry. Maybe I should describe that as your move into "official" ministry as it sounds like you might have been doing the amateur version for a while. Have you ever shared the gospel at the shooting range? If so, does the gospel work better with 9mm or .45ACP?
Kenn: I have actually preached in the store part of a range, and folks wondered how a preacher got in. They wanted to see my ID to prove I was clergy. It wasn't planned but happened. The Good News was someone actually gave his life to Christ afterwards. I know I am a bit different. I didn't start out a choir boy.
MGC: You put a lot of energy and passion into educating people about the real roots of gun control – racism. It's pretty ironic that many of those promoting gun control measures today shout their status as non-racists from the rooftops. Am I taking crazy pills? This seems astoundingly hypocritical. Your thoughts?
Kenn: I can't call it. All I wanted to do when I started was help people. I never intended on being a modern day abolitionist, trying to abolish the residue of slavery but it happens. Most folks don't even realize what they say and think is not original but just adopted till they are called out for it. Some are hypocritical but most just never gave it much thought and talk without thinking. And of course some people are just the backside of a northbound mule.
MGC: Tell us about your first gun…
Kenn: My first gun was a Daisy BB gun, but first firearm was a .357 single action Ruger revolver with a eight inch barrel I got from another Marine.
MGC: We ask all of our interview victims, umm I mean guests, to weigh in on our ongoing debate of whether the MK19 Automatic Grenade Launcher is appropriate for home defense. What say you?
Kenn: I wouldn't be a fan of a grenade launcher for my home. The clean up would be expensive.
MGC: Thanks for your time today Kenn. One more question for you. I can't help but notice that there aren't a whole lot of black men with guns walking around the big shooting events like SHOT Show, etc. I want to see a whole lot more people in general get involved in shooting. How do we fix that?
Kenn: I hear you brother. We have to be patient. It took over four hundred years, a lot of fear and misinformation to get things they way they are. It won't take that long to fix but it won't be when we want it. You will see a few more every year, and every event, I promise. You and I will just be gainfully employed making it happen for awhile that is all. Shalom Baby!
I'd like to thank Kenn for his patience and good humor! Be sure to check out Kenn's podcast here.
Stay tuned – next on the My Gun Culture interview hot seat are in depth discussions with Huntress and Professional Outfitter Mia Anstine, Bart and Lisa Looper from Looper Brand Holsters, makers of belts, holsters, law enforcement gear and the world famous FlashBang holster.
An interesting and sure to be peaceful idea from the Weerd Beard himself!

Troy Polamalu says 'Kala Christougena!'
Troy Polamalu says 'Kala Christougena!'
Christmas arrives today for many Orthodox Christians around the world
Friday, January 07, 2011
By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The most famous Orthodox Christian in Pittsburgh, if not the nation, has a greeting for his fellow believers today:
"Kala Christougena!" said Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. That's Greek for "Merry Christmas!"
Mr. Polamalu and his wife, Theodora, actually celebrated Christmas 13 days ago, but they keep the same Orthodox traditions as those who observe today. Most Orthodox celebrate on Dec. 25, but many Slavic churches tie liturgy to the old Julian calendar, which is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. The Greek Orthodox Church and some others have adopted the Gregorian calendar -- except at Easter.
"We all celebrate Easter on the same day," said Mr. Polamalu, 29. Orthodoxy is the Eastern wing of the earliest Christian church, which split into the Orthodox and Catholic churches in 1054.
He and Theodora converted to Orthodoxy about five years ago. His background was Catholic and Protestant, hers Muslim and Protestant. They were Christians in search of a deeper, more consistent experience of God.
"Orthodoxy is like an abyss of beauty that's just endless," he said. "I have read the Bible many times. But after fasting, and being baptized Orthodox, it's like reading a whole new Bible. You see the depth behind the words so much more clearly."
That fasting is a Christmastime difference between Eastern and Western Christians. While many Americans pile on the food from Thanksgiving to Christmas, Orthodox Christians start fasting Nov. 15 or 28.
"Christmas Lent" or "Winter Lent" lasts 40 days, broken by a feast on Christmas, said the Rev. Stelyios Muksuris, administrative assistant to Metropolitan Maximos of the Greek Orthodox Diocese of Pittsburgh and professor of liturgy and theology at Ss. Cyril & Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary. Slavic Orthodox keep a strict fast, abstaining from meat, dairy products, oil and fish for 40 days. Greeks usually permit fish, cheese and oil for the first few weeks, then fast strictly for the last two, he said.
Mr. Polamalu is of Samoan heritage, and belongs to the Greek church, but fasts like a Russian.
His consists of a "fast from dairy, from meat and from oil for 40 days -- as well as from sex," he said. "It's to prepare you for the birth of Christ, of God incarnate."
Fasting doesn't affect his football fitness, he said. "When you fast, you can eat extremely healthy by eating a lot of light food, like fruits and vegetables."
There are other aspects to fasting.
"Maybe not watching as much TV, or not getting caught up in idle talk or different things, in order to keep you spiritually healthy," he said.
The most important Orthodox fast is Great Lent, for 50 days before Easter.
When he has kept longer fasts "I have never felt more spiritually strong," he said. Referring to great theologians of the early church, he said, "The church fathers have said that when you eat gluttonously or you eat a lot of meat, your passions get stronger, so your inclination toward sinning becomes stronger. ... [Fasting] really does soften your passions. It gives you spiritual insight."
In Orthodox theology "passions" are negative impulses -- such as sadness or greed -- that can harm the soul.
He doesn't claim that practicing the faith improves athletics. The player known for crossing himself on the field has seen his faith grow more from his injuries than his interceptions.
"When I got injured, I learned so much from it spiritually, just thanking God for the health that I had when I was healthy," he said.
"People have this idea that the more pious and devout I am, the more successful I am. Which is very dangerous. If you look at faith in that way, you're bound to fail at both -- spiritually and in your career."
As the Polamalus build Christmas traditions for their children, Paisios, 2, and Ephraim, 3 months, "It's become less about Santa Claus and more about the birth of Christ and the celebration of the Virgin birth," he said.
They spent Christmas Eve at an Orthodox monastery. The service lasted several hours, ending at 1 a.m. It was entirely chanted.
"Orthodox chanting is non-emotional, it's very monotone," said Mr. Polamalu, who also calls it "the most beautiful thing."
"It's the perfect environment for prayer," he said. "Chanting in Greek ... is like a beautiful opera, but way better. You have candles, not [electric] lights. It's dark. You have the women sitting on the left and the men sitting on the right. Everything is to keep your mind focused on God. ... To me the most beautiful thing anyone on earth can experience, other than maybe marriage and child-bearing, would be the Orthodox Liturgy."
Before he became Orthodox, he said, songs in church sometimes moved him to tears. He now distrusts those passing feelings.
"I'd start crying and feel 'This is awesome.' If I'd had a Red Bull, I'd feel it even more. If I'd had breakfast, I'd feel good. If I didn't have breakfast, I didn't feel anything, I was grumpy," he said.
"It was a very superficial experience. I was thinking, 'God, why did I not feel you today?' because I wasn't feeling the music today. Orthodoxy is very sensitive to that, to take the emotion out of it, to really go after the heart."
The difference between the heart and emotion, he said, is like the difference between the deep love he has for his wife and their daily ups and downs.
"I could say, emotionally, I'm mad and sad with my wife. But that has nothing to do with how much I love my wife within my heart," he said.
"Before we were Orthodox we were able to separate our spiritual lives and our daily lives. Now that we're Orthodox, because of the prayer life that is required ... and the fasting, it consumes your life. It's the number one thing in your life."

Re: Troy Polamalu says 'Kala Christougena!'
And I agree. But to me, when a athlete, movie star, rock star, etc. start talking religion or politics I can't help but roll my eyes. Those are just two things that it's so easy to be an expert about. Though I will state for the record that I don't feel that way about Troy.

Reading through all that-- makes me glad to be a non-believer. Never ceases to amaze me the self-induced floggings and punishments religious people like to condemn themselves to, just to prove how much they believe in their invisible sky-friends. Props to Troy though-- I can respect anybody who devotes themself to ANYTHING, and it looks like he and his wife are both growing spiritually together.
I am very glad though that Troy is not Tim Tebow and we don't have to hear a weekly religious/Bible rant from him on the Post-Gazette or on TV. He understands that everyone's religious choice is THIER OWN CHOICE.

Re: Troy Polamalu says 'Kala Christougena!'
I am of the opposite belief, Riddle of Steel. I am a believer...not orthodox, but a believer nonetheless. Reading this story about the depth of Troy's faith and how deeply he feels it only makes me love the man more.
Some look at it as "punishment" or "self torture" that he is practicing, but really, it is "self control" and "preparation" that he is practicing. Imagine how awesome his Christmas feels when he can finally "allow" himself to enjoy those things which he has been waiting for? Imagine how good that sex feels after controlling yourself from it for 40 days? I'll bet it was awesome!
Not trying to convert anyone, but just showing some respect for the man and how he is able to control himself and channel his faith!

Re: Troy Polamalu says 'Kala Christougena!'
I'm an Orthodox Christian myself and I greatly admire Polamalu and his faith. It's a nice article. As usual, he's a good witness for Orthodoxy.
Some of my favorite quotes from him:
"One thing that's beautiful about Orthodoxy, it's like an abyss of knowledge that just keeps getting deeper and deeper. It's endless."
"If you want to talk about religion and one's existence, you can't really go into that gray area. You know? You can kind of try to be ignorant and say, "You know, I think God exists and I think I'm comfo...rtable with where I'm at with God." But if you say you are a Christian and you really study what the Christian struggle is -- there is no gray area. There has to be the one truth and it has to be taken seriously. So I went in depth. What is Christianity? There are all these different religions -- where were they all founded? I wanted to get to the source, because if I saw there was a flaw in the source, then there's a flaw in the religion. I saw that Orthodoxy, without a shadow of a doubt, is a flawless religion."

The 5 Dumbest X-Men Characters
Subscribe to our newsletter
The X-Men universe is filled with awesome and cool mutants. They range from the ultimate bad?*s, Wolverine, to the all powerful Magneto (seriously, do you know what sort of things you could do if you controlled metal?). Unfortunately, for every awesome X-Men character, there are ten incredibly lame ones. So take a look at this list of the X-Men characters lucky enough to have been born with superpowers... and unlucky enough to have ended up ones that landed them on the C-squad.
Zeitgeist discovered his mutant power the same way most X-Men characters do; during a teenage make-out session. Whatever ended up happening, Zeitgeist (a.k.a. Axel Cluney) must have had a terrible experience, because the making out ended with him vomiting all over his lady friend's face. If that wasn't bad enough for the poor lass, it turned out that he had the ability to vomit acid. Not only does some dude vomit all over your face, it turns out that the vomit can eat through 10 centimeter thick steel. Talk about bad luck.
This character has got it bad for several reasons. First of all, the poor guy's claim to fame is acidic vomit, which most humans can achieve with some red peppers and a bottle of tequila. While having an extremely acidic formula at your disposal is somewhat useful, it's delivery capability is severely limited. If you look at the picture above, it is revealed that Zeitgeist doesn't really have any projectile vomiting skills, so he has an effective range of like, two feet. Also, he doesn't really seem to have the accuracy of his acidic spew down to a fine art. It'd be kinda useful if he could precisely aim at things, but he seems to have the vomiting skills of a drunken frat boy. Need to break the hand cuffs on a prisoner's wrists? If he could throw up accurately, he might be able to corrode the cuffs, but he's more likely to spray everywhere and do more damage than good.
And finally, we have to bring up the effectiveness of using having acid barf as weapon. Wouldn't regular vomit do the trick just as well? If you are in a fight with some thugs, and some dude just starts to ralph on your face, you are probably going to huddle over in a corner, unable to fight due to being overcome with sheer disgust (and slight hilarity). The only difference with adding acid into that vomit is the fact that you would huddled in a corner overcome with sheer disgust and extreme, excruciating pain.
Doug Ramsey
Sometimes known as Cypher, this mutant had the enviable power of being able to read, write or speak any language in the world. He also has the amazing ability to... no, that's about it. While his powers may be useful when seducing chicks by speaking French, there isn't really much "superhero" use to be found in his powers. He can also fluently write and understand all of the various computer programming languages, which is no small feat, but when your god given unique power is something that only comp sci grad students would be envious about, you know you got the short end of the stick.
Sure, the skill would be pretty darn helpful if you need to pass your SAT's or something, but the truth is, Doug Ramsey is one of the only X-Men characters with powers that a real life human could possibly achieve. Shoot laser beams out your eyes? Ridiculous. Razor sharp metal claws and regeneration powers? Not possible. Fluently speak Spanish? Kinda doable. Also, there is no way that power could help you out in a fight. At least acid vomit is somewhat useful.
There are plenty of mutants in the X-Men universe that have deep blue skin, it's a fact. However, most of these characters get an awesome trade-off for being mistaken for Smurfs: their whole lives. Nightcrawler has sweet fighting and teleportation skills. Mystique can shape shift into whoever she likes. Beast can even do a really sweet Kelsey Grammer impression. But Jazz... what superpower does he get in addition to being blue?
That's it. Yep. He doesn't have any other superpowers. He just has blue skin. Maybe that would be okay if he had super cool martial arts skills, or maybe he was an ace shot, but he doesn't. He has some pretty awful rap skills, however. One of the key character points is that he is an aspiring rap artist, but also manages to fail at that too. This is not surprising, because we all know that blue people rap like some kind of Vanilla Ice – MC Hammer hybrid.
At least for Doug Ramsay or Zeitgeist, they can apply their powers. Poor old Jazz just passively sits around and does nothing. If you had a mutant power that passively attracted women to you, it wouldn't be bad, but in Jazz's case, it's less of a power, and more of a trait.

I was just sitting in my pew at church with my aunt as usual, surrounded by the people who have help mold me into the good little quaker that I am,preparing to listen to our region choir, who unbeknown to me "SUCK"!
Our pastor ask us all to stand and follow along to the hymn, and I for once look up at the words on the overhead and noticed the teenage girl singing with the region choir! She was soooooo hot!!!!!! In like a church kinda way. Since I was in church after all I tried to block her from my thoughts and follow along with the song! Which was harder to do than I thought. Just as I got ready to look up again, me and the girls eyes meet......oh how awkward.....why couldn't our eyes meet oh say outside of church. I know some of u are thinking how do u know she was looking at u....well I as directly in front of her in the 3rd row...no one close enough for her to lock eyes with in the 1st two rows. By the way our region choir really does suck they messed up all three of their songs.
Anyway.....um when church was over I quickly left my pew and went to the nursery(as much as I dislike kids they help me stay grounded). After being their for about five minutes I figured that I was in the clear to go find my aunt....oh no, the pastor and friends are all waiting for me so they can introduce her to me. Apparently all the "elders" had been looking for me so I could meet her in hopes that I could make a new friend,oh joy I should've just went out the nursery backdoor.Turns out the "elders" wanted me to talk to her....I guess like to get her into the whole particapating"outside of sunday service". Come on what do I look like a youth counselor...actually I'm in charge of youth affairs at my church and work with "troubled"youth around our community but still doesn't mean I want to take on her case.....Why couldn't she be f-ugly, why do all the youth have to be cute. And of course I had no choice but to say yes to my "elders" Now me and the girl are going to meet twice a week at church.
Finally when I got free of my "elders" I took off to the empty choir room which wasn't as empty as I thought, cuz the girl was their toooo."WTF dude",sorry God is almost what I said. Why me why me, why do I always get put in these awkward situations with hot girls, why not someone else, I know I shouldn't complain at least the girls are hot, but come on I have been an angel all my life(except for that one time with my ex, long awkward story that involves a dressingroom). I do good deeds all the time and I keep my sexuality PRIVATE. Why am I tempted. I'm about to SWEAR like a sailor on Sunday....I can say the devil made me do it! Forgive me now God.

Seven Steps to Security
Years ago I had the pleasure of working for Rev. Richard Chamberlain, Director of Camp Merrowvista (an American Youth Foundation Camp) in Ossipee, N.H.
One of my early values in camp management came from Dick (a former President of the American Camping Association), who shared with me (and others) that he never stopped being concerned about camper safety until the season was over and the campers had all left for home.
When camp was over, one significant way Dick would measure a successful season was directly related to the camp's overall ability to maintain a safe environment for the campers.
I truly admired Dick Chamberlain as a camp director, because of, among other things, his ability to advance the importance of camper safety to the staff.
He gave staff ownership in both policy development and implementation regarding the safety of the camp environment.
And, although there are technologies available now that can enhance camper safety (in ways we did not have back in the late '60s and early '70s); it is still up to the director and staff to insure that campers experience a truly safe environment. Therefore, safety risk management remains a significant factor in the overall operation of well-run camp!
Understand the Risk
Risk managing camper safety in a camp environment can be considered in three key ways: Campus safety, camp program participant/spectator safety and personal safety.
Campus safety: Risk managing the campus environment to insure camper safety. This aspect of camper safety includes such challenges as:
• Controlling all access to the campus
• Preventing unauthorized visitors on campus
• Managing authorized visitors on campus
• Managing movement of campers about the campus
• Establishing clear protocols for campus-related emergencies, like fire, severe weather, evacuation or local/regional/national crisis
Camp program participant/spectator safety: Risk managing the variety of programmatic risks related to camper activities and venues. This area of consideration includes such challenges as:
• Providing appropriate activities, instruction and supervision
• Maintaining safe venues (facilities and other activity spaces), including the range of risks related to activity programming, such as chemical exposure (photography), sports injury, wounds from archery and/or riflery, travel in camp vehicles, etc.
• Maintaining safe activity-related equipment including the range of risks related to ropes courses, gymnastics tumbling and apparatus, computer internet access controls, etc.
Personal safety: Risk managing the personal experience for each camper in a manner where they feel and remain safe within the camp environment. This area of consideration includes such challenges as:
• Preventing camper abduction or kidnapping by strangers or by an unauthorized relative or friend
• Preventing intentional or random acts of violence
• Managing the risk of abuse, molestation, or rape
• Risk managing the misuse/abuse of medications and/or controlled substances
Each of these safety risk management considerations is important, and deserving of attention. However, to better address the purpose of this article, I intend to focus on campus safety: Risk managing the campus environment to insure camper safety.
Focusing on this one key concern should facilitate the introduction of a seven-step process for risk managing all areas of consideration related to camper safety in a camp environment.
Seven Steps
The following seven-step process is recommended for use by camp directors and their staff, with the goal that the campus will remain a safe environment for campers.
This process can be implemented by a select group of experienced staff and/or by all the camp staff (thereby creating staff ownership in the camp's safety risk management, policy development and implementation). Note: the same seven-step process can be utilized to address other safety risk management issues identified (or not identified) in this article.
Campus safety: Managing the campus environment to insure camper safety.
In recent years, a major concern regarding campus safety has focused on controlling access to the camp by authorized and unauthorized visitors.
Once on the campus, any visitor, especially if unnoticed, can cause serious and perhaps irreversible harm. What must not be ignored by the camp director and staff is the unimaginable.

December Treasury Bonds have been under pressure since reaching a top at 135'12. The seven day break from this top reached a critical retracement zone overnight at 132'10 to 131'18. This zone is the 50%/61.8% correction of the 129'05 to 135'12 range.
In addition to this market reaching the retracement zone, the market is also testing an uptrending Gann angle at 132'05. Another uptrending Gann angle from the 124'22 bottom is at 131'22.
The key area to watch for possible buying is 132'10 to 132'05. This area is formed by a 50%/Gann Angle combination and could prove to be an attractive support zone for bullish traders. In pre-market trading, a test of 132'06 produced a slight technical bounce.

End of the American Dream
The United Nations Declares War On The U.S. Dollar And Publicly Calls For The Establishment Of A New World Currency
End of the American Dream
Are you ready for a world currency?Ā If the United Nations has anything to say about it, that is exactly what we are all going to have shoved down our throats.Ā A new United Nations report released on Tuesday
essentially declares war onĀthe U.S. dollar
ĀandĀpublicly calls on the nations of the world to abandon it asĀthe global reserve currency.Ā This new report entitled "The U.N. World Economic and Social Survey 2010" is one of the most blatant attempts yet that we have seen from a major international organization to move us in the direction of a world currency.Ā For years it was denial after denial after denial that a global currency was being considered.Ā Of course we knew all along by reading their policy papers that the eventual goal of the globalists was indeed to move us over to a global currency.Ā Finally, in just the past year, the International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights (SDRs) were promoted by the G20 as "an international reserve asset" thatĀcould beĀused as a unit of paymentĀfor IMF loans.Ā SDRsĀareĀcurrently made up of a basket of various currencies from around the world, but now there are much bigger plans for the SDRs.Ā
According to the new U.N. report
, the U.S. dollar should be abandoned in favor of a new world currency based on these SDRs....
"A new global reserve system could be created, one that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency."
So why abandon the U.S. dollar?Ā Well, the U.N. report says that we must abandon it because it has not been "stable" enough....
"The dollar has proved not to be a stable store of value, which is a requisite for a stable reserve currency."
But of course it has not been stable!
It is the very same globalists that are pushing for this new world currency that have been behind the destruction of not only the U.S. dollar but all paper currencies around the world.
In fact, there are many who are speculating that the recession that the world economy is now being "pushed" into is actually a contrived crisis which is designed to pave the way for the grand solution that the globalists have wanted all along.
So exactly what is that grand solution?
During a speech back in May, IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn
called for the introduction of a global currency
backed by a global central bank which would act as the "lender of last resort" in the event of a severe economic crisis.
That is what the globalists have always wanted - a global currency and a global central bank that we all pay taxes to.
Right now the world is not likely to go for it, but if the upcoming recession (or depression) is deep enough, then the would might just be willing to accept a global currency and a global central bank.
You see, it is the exact same problem/reaction/solution paradigm that the globalists have used time after time after time to get their way.
Even now, globalist organizations are lining up their proposals for global taxes that they wish to impose on all of us
as we recently described on one of our sister sites
*The World Health OrganizationĀrecently announcedĀthat it is ready
to impose global taxes on all of us
.Ā The World Health Organization says that it needs a lot more money and that it has some creative ideas for how to get it.Ā Two of their main ideas for "raising revenue" are a global tax on Internet use and a global tax on paying bills online.Ā These taxes would go directly to the World Health Organization.
*The IMF is actually calling
for two new global taxes
.Ā One would be an international deposit insurance tax, and the other would be a tax on the profits of financial institutions worldwide.Ā The IMF says that the funds would be used by them to prevent another major financial crisis.
So are you ready for a world currency and a world central bank that you will pay your world taxes to?
Malaysian economist Jomo Kwame Sundaram,Āthe U.N. assistant secretary general for economic development,Āadmitted duringĀa news conference that "there's going to be resistance" to the idea of a world currency.
You think?
Oh, did they expect that we were just going to hand over our national sovereignty to them without any resistance whatsoever?
It is bad enough to have the Federal Reserve (a privately-owned central bank controlled by international bankers) controlling our currency right now.
If we ever allow the globalists to institute a global currency, a global central bank and global taxes then you can kiss our freedom and our national sovereignty goodbye.
But do you see any coverage of this on any of the big news channels?Ā
Of course not.
The vast majority of the American people have no idea this is going on.
They are too busy catching up on the latest celebrity gossip and lining up to watch the new "Twilight" movie.
Our founding fathers are not here to stand up for our liberty and freedom, so it is up to you and I.
We must get the word out about the plan for a global currency and a global central bank before it is too late.

We're using this pretty headboard in our guest room. It is lovely and functions just fine but there are a couple of things I wish I had known before I ordered: there are three seams on the front of the headboard that aren't really evident in the website pictures. They aren't deal breakers, but I wish they weren't there - and the center one doesn't lay flat. The standard (least expensive) bed frame that we bought to use doesn't exactly fit. I think we may have been able to upgrade to a more expensive bed frame that may have worked a lot better, but we just didn't. The problem is that we were only able to attach one of the screws to the headboard instead of both, so it feels wobbly if not right against a wall. On the upside, this headboard is upholstered all the way to the floor so it looks nice from the side. And the nail head trim is nice, individual nail heads in stead of the cheaper nail head chain I have seen on other affordable upholstered headboards.
The upholstered headboard was a good buy, as turned out more handsome than the pictures with the brass studs and oatmeal colored fabric. Note - the two wood feet shipped with it came in two different colors, one was black and the other one was courdoban in color. They also did not touch the floor when I mounted the headboard to the recommended bedframe, which was a separate purchase. Thus, did not mount with the wooden feet so threw them out. The headboard only came with 2 bolts and washers and really needs four to hook-up securely. So in summary, the aesthetics were great, but you needed to be handy to get the bed firmly assembled on a standard metal bedframe.
I was going to spend $699 for a headboard and I came across this one for $200. WHATTT! And I'm so happy I did! I love the nailhead trim and the fabric. The color is exactly what you see in the picture and this headboard is just as good as any $699+ headboard. I'm a C&B addict and Overstock has made me reconsider some of purchases from here on out from C&B and other major home retailers. Thanks Overstock!
We love this headboard. The problem we had with it was that it does not fit a standard queen size bed frame. We could not find the special bed frame designed for this headboard so we just used the standard bed frame we already had. My husband tried to drill new holes into the steel plate at the foot of the bed but was unable to do so. We attached the standard bed frame and the headboard was approximately 1/2 off of the floor. We remedied the problem by putting 2 carpet protectors on top of one another under each of the headboard feet to support the raised headboard.
Unforutnately I needed this for an elder parents bedroom and it was taken out of the box, attached to the frame, and the box disposed of before I saw it. Very disappointed in the look as across the front; left, center, and right, are three really large vertical seams. Ruins the look entirely.
I purchased this headboard in a Queen. I was a little worried since the price was almost too good to be true but I was so pleasantly surprised at the quality. The headboard is solid, well made and easy to install. The nail trimming is nice, FYI.. the fabric is a nice quality but is not a solid piece, it is in 4 strips of fabric. It's not really noticeable plus the headboard is not an overly tall, when the pillows and shams are on the bed, you can only see about 12 inches of the headboard. Overall awesome product for the price. Shipped fast and well packaged.
This is my first headboard as an adult (now 34 years old) and I'm very happy with it. The color is a nice soft accent to the rest of my bedroom (painted a lighter beige) without drawing too much attention. Bonus - the fabric is pretty heavy duty so when my cats scratch and paw at it, I'm not worried!
I love the class look to the head borad, and the color will blend in nicely to my decor, It will fit to any thing you add to it. Very nice
i am so amazed by its quality with the price I paid for! I really can't expect more from it. it's just worth every penny i paid.
You get what you pay for. The look is what I wanted but the fabric on the headboard is in two pieces and there is a fabric line down the middle. The brass nails make the headboard look good and from a distance there is no problem. Easy to put together, arrived quickly and shipping was almost free.

Adela Zamudio
Paz Juana Plácida Adela Rafaela Zamudio Ribero, or more popularly known as Adela Zamudio (1854-1928) was a Bolivian poet, feminist, and educator. She is considered the most famous Bolivian poet, and is credited as founding the country's feminist movement. In her writing, she also used the pen-name Soledad. Adela Zamudio was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, in 1854, to an upper-class family. She attended a public elementary school and was also tutored by her father, Don Adolfo Zamudio and her mother, Doña Modesta Ribero de Zamudio. As a teacher, Zamudio taught at Escuela San Alberto, and later became a director of a girls' high school, which later became known as Liceo Adela Zamudio. Her poetry and fiction dealt primarily with the social struggles of Bolivia, often with a romantic feeling invoked towards revolution. Non-religious, her writing was highly intellectual. She published her first poem, Two Roses, when she was 15, but did not publish her first book until 20 years later. In 1926 she was awarded the Bolivian Crown of Distinction award. Her pseudonym, Soledad (English: Solitude), was used by her to reflect her often lonely and misunderstood self, who sought to escape conservative  ( Wikipedia article )

Law enforcement targeting teen safety with new patrol efforts near schools
By DOUG CARDER, Herald Senior Writer | 2/21/2014
Thirty-one teens lost their lives and 240 were seriously injured in car crashes last year in Kansas.
Seventy-four percent of those teens were not properly restrained, according to state driving statistics.
Thirty-one teens lost their lives and 240 were seriously injured in car crashes last year in Kansas.
Seventy-four percent of those teens were not properly restrained, according to state driving statistics.
In an effort to reverse that trend, officers with the Ottawa Police Department and the Franklin County Sheriff's Office plan to join other Kansas law enforcement agencies in being "extra-vigilant" when patrolling around schools, according to new releases from both law enforcement agencies.
The initiative is set to begin Monday and continue through March 7. Police officers and sheriff's deputies are expected to issue citations to any individual who refuses to obey the traffic laws, whether it is for speeding, texting or failing to buckle up, the releases said.
For more than 20 years, police officers have educated and warned passengers and drivers regarding the importance of using restraints while in their vehicle, but some motorists continue to ignore the state's seat belt laws, Kansas law enforcement officials said.
"Our goal is to increase seat belt use amongst teens," Capt. Adam Weingartner, patrol division commander and public information officer for the Ottawa Police Department, said. "Through the SAFE [Seatbelts Are For Everyone] program and Ottawa High School, the student seat belt compliance rate has increased the last two years. Our goal is 100 percent use 100 percent of the time."
Weingartner said there should be no surprises when it comes to this enforcement effort.
"If you are driving around Ottawa schools, buckle up, don't text and drive, and obey the speed limit," he said.
Jeff Richards, Franklin County sheriff, said his deputies also would be vigilant in enforcing traffic laws.
"Even one teen death is unacceptable," he said. "Slow down, don't text and drive, and always buckle up. Prevention is always better than regret."
