Perhaps the definitive 90s teen movie, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU deftly reinvents Shakespeare's totally dated Taming of the Shrew as a smart, funny and unexpectedly touching high school comedy, featuring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger as THE MOST ADORABLE COUPLE OF ALL TIME.
Equally adorable if somewhat more ridiculous are Chris Evans and Chyler Leigh, the 'Popular Jock' and 'Pretty Ugly Girl' at the heart of NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE. If the teen film renaissance began withClueless in 1995, it ended here: with one of the most incisive and affectionate genre spoofs ever committed to (surprisingly handsome) celluloid. Don't believe the 28% Rotten Tomatoes score.
The double bill will be accompanied by a rare VHS screening of THE BEST OF SM:TV LIVE - SO FAR!

The National Forestry Authority (NFA) plans to evict several people, including businessman Ephraim Ntaganda, from Kyewanga Central Forest Reserve in Wakiso district, at the urging of State House.
The forest measures approximately 209.670 hectares and is located along the Lake Victoria shores, near Abaita Ababiri in Entebbe. It was first demarcated and declared a forest reserve under Legal Notice No. 87 of 1932.
Ntaganda and one Hassan Magezi are some of the people State House wants evicted from more than 12 plots in the said forest reserve. An investigation found evidence of illegal sub-division of part of the forest land into several plots on Busiro Block 447.
"If the alleged sub-divisions of NFA land is true, you are advised to lawfully evict the encroachers, restore the degraded forest and initiate cancellation of illegally issued certificates of land titles," wrote Patience Mubangizi, on behalf of the Principal Private Secretary to the president, on June 7.
Her letter was addressed to the NFA executive director. The Entebbe Division Police Commander, Environmental Police, RDCs and DISO in the area have been asked to help in enforcing this order.
Kyewaga forest is said to be an important component of the ecosystem in Wakiso and Entebbe as it moderates weather, preserves and protects the environment as well as being a habitat for wildlife. In the same letter, Mubangizi requests the NFA executive director to appoint a convenient date when he will guide stakeholders on a joint physical inspection of the forest.
When contacted for a comment, Ntaganda denied having any interest in the forest. But when this writer told him that some of the questionable land titles are in the names of his three known companies, including Prestigious Apartments and Real Choice (U) Limited, he said:
"Well, I need to see the alleged titles because initially I had an interest there; so, I can't be sure unless I look at documentary evidence."
Though we could not get Magezi for a comment, the certificate of title in his name shows that the land title on plot 207 was registered on May 24, 2011 by the Registrar of Titles. On May 27, 2013, the NFA issued a public notice in form of an advert, notifying any person claiming an interest in Kyewaga forest to beware.
"The general public is advised that any person seeking to purchase, sell or otherwise grant or obtain title to land bordering a forest reserve, should make every effort and ensure that the land is not within a forest reserve," added the public notice.

"An alliance between formal experiment and rich content." Michael Billington
"The clever Hydrocracker company, which a couple of years ago imagined Pinter and torture in the old town hall, now maps Joe Orton brilliantly on to Brighton Pier. The Erpingham Camp's graphic version of dictatorship (who will get to ride in the teacup dodgems?) and disaster (the villain plunges from a tottering tower into the sea) are fearsomely translated." Susannah Clapp, The Observer
Hydrocracker breathed new life into Joe Orton's comedy The Erpingham Camp by setting it and its audiences on Brighton Pier.
Hydrocracker assembled an exceptional artistic team, including director Ellie Jones (Artistic Director Southwark Playhouse), designer Ellen Cairns, sound designer Thor McIntyre-Burney and lighting designer Paule Constable.
This was the first time in 43 years that the pier had featured in the Brighton Festival.
The Erpingham Camp was performed by Richard Hahlo, Jem Wall, Matthew Wait and members of the Buxbaum Musical Theatre Group.
The production was supported by Brighton Festival and Arts Council England.
The Erpingham Camp was produced and managed by ArtsAgenda and supported by Arts Council England.

A DIY Dorm Decoration
Filling white walls can be a challenge—especially when your budget can barely cover bedding, let alone picture frames. If you're looking for an artsy, economical way to make photos or posters pop, consider trying this DIY idea from Dormify, a site that specializes in dorm décor.
First, bust out a roll of washi tape, a decorative Japanese tape and DIYer's dream accessory. Simply frame your hangings with the tape as seen here:
A more refined wall will definitely require a little more effort, creativity, and—of course—tape, but this trimming looks downright cool in a dorm room.

Over recent years, much of Illinois' population has included staunch Democratic Party supporters.
But it hasn't always been like that.
The party won the Illinois popular vote in the last five elections with nearly two-thirds of the popular vote being Democratic in 2008, according to data from Illinois census reports. This trend started in the 1992 election between George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, when Illinois was still a swing state for the electoral college, and has stayed Democratic since. More than half the Illinois popular vote has been Democratic in every presidential election since then.
The 1992 change in popular vote broke a trend among Illinois voters.
Before then, the last time Democrats won the popular vote was in 1964, when Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater ran for office, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said many factors affect the state's popular vote. A main one, he said, is Chicago.
"Chicago is a major urban area," Yepsen said. "It has had a Democratic lean to it for decades … It just dwarfs the vote in the rest of the state."
He said Chicago has a large immigrant and minority population that tends to vote Democratic.
Yepsen said another reason Democrats win the state's popular vote is because of the growing Latino population that has shown a trend to vote Democrat.
"Some of the Republican talk about illegal immigration has been offensive to Latinos," he said. "And that's why … Obama has been carrying them by a wide margin in these polls here in the final days (before the election)."
It is important for Illinois Republicans to vote in the presidential election, Yepsen said.
"You could make the same case for a Democratic Texas," he said. "I don't want to say anyone's vote doesn't matter because it does matter. It matters a lot (especially) in local races."
Haley Atwell, a senior from Farmer City studying speech communication, said she thinks it is important to vote regardless of party orientation.
"I think every vote matters," she said. "You never know what will happen."
Atwell said voting is important because it gives citizens a say in how the government works. She said she thinks her vote matters in every election, but it has a greater effect on local elections.
Yepsen said even though Democrats have the state's advantage, Republicans can still win elections. He said moderate Republicans have a chance, especially in the suburbs and southern Illinois.
"When Republicans nominate moderate candidates, they can win state races," he said. "If they nominate canididates who are too conservative on social issues, they're more likely to lose."
Yepsen said moderate Republican candidates who are too conservative on social issues lose because they tend to alienate women voters.
Joe Gulick, a senior from Villa Grove studying physiology, said he thinks people should participate more in local elections.
"It's unfortunate people vote more for the presidential election than local (elections), because their vote would count for more (in local elections)," he said.
Gulick said he thinks people should still vote in the presidential election, but he understands how they can be discouraged because the electoral college gets the final vote.

"Shhh, Be Quiet!"
Beginning Reading
By: Lindsey Barber
This lesson teaches children about the consonant digraph correspondence
sh=/sh/. In order to be able to read,
children must learn to recognize the spellings that map word pronunciations. In
this lesson children will learn to recognize, spell, and read words containing
the spelling sh. They will learn a
meaningful representation (face with its finger to its lips) spell and read
words containing this spelling in a letterbox lesson, and read a decodable book
that focuses on the correspondence sh=/sh/.
Graphic image of a face with its finger to its lips; cover-up critter;
whiteboard or smartboard Elkonin boxes for modeling and individual Elkonin boxes
for each student; letter manipulatives for each child and magnetic or smartboard
letters for teacher: s, h, i, p, e, d, o,
t, w, r, a, f, u, n, k; list of spelling words on poster or whiteboard to
read: she, dish, shot,
wish, trash, shift, shrunk; decodable text Shells Are Fun and
assessment worsksheet.
1. Say: In order to become expert readers we need to learn the code that tells
us how to pronounce words. We have already learned to read the consonants
s and
h and today we are going to learn how
to put those letters together to make the /sh/ sound. When I say /sh/ I think of
someone putting their finger to their lips and saying "Shhh, be quiet!" [show
graphic image] Now let's look at the spelling of /sh/ that we'll learn today.
One way to spell /sh/ is with the letter
s and the letter h. [Write sh on
the board.]
2. Say: Before we learn about the spelling of /sh/, we need to listen for it in
some words. When I listen for /sh/ in words, I think about the saying "Shhh, be
quiet!" and I felt my teeth come together, my lips come apart, and I felt air
blowing out of my mouth. [demonstrate what your mouth looks like] I'll show you
first: shop. I heard
sh and I felt my teeth come together
and my lips come apart. Now you try, can you hear
sh in
fish? If you hear it, I want you to
put your index finger on your mouth like your saying "Shhh!" Is it in
chop, cash, gas, ship, flash? [Have
the children put their index finger to their lips if they hear /sh/]
3. What if I want to spell the word ship?
"It is time to board the ship." To spell the word
ship in the letter boxes, first I
need to know how many phonemes are in the word. I am going to stretch it out and
count them: /sh/ /i/ /p/. I need 3 boxes. /Sh/ is a digraph and that means that
they make one sound, so I am going to put the
s and
h in the first box together. Next I
heard an /i/ so I am going to put an i
in the second box. Finally, the last sound I heard was a /p/ so I am going
to put a p in the last box. There, I
have spelled the word ship. Now I
will show you how I would read a tough word. [Display poster with
shake and model reading the word.]
I'm going to start with the /sh/. We know that these two letters make one sound
so I am going to put them in the first box. Next, I hear the sound /A/ so I am
going to put an a in the second box.
Finally, I hear a /k/, so I put a k
in the last box. Now this part is a little tricky, there is an
e at the end but it is silent, so I
am going to put it outside of the last box. Now I am going to read the word, /shA-k/.
Oh, shake, like "I like to shake the
4. Say: Now I'm going to have you spell some words in letterboxes. You'll start
out easy with two boxes for she. "She
went to the store." Remember that sh
goes into one box because they make one sound. I'll check your spelling as I
walk around the room. [Observe progress] You'll need three letterboxes for the
next word, dish. "The dish had
flowers on it." [Allow children to spell remaining words, giving sentences for
each word: shot, wish, trash, shift,
5. Say: Now I'm going to let you read the words you spelled. [Show the words
she, dish, shot, wish, trash, shift,
shrunk. Have the students read the words in unison. Afterwards, call on
individual students to say the words by themselves.]
6. Say: Now we are going to read a book called
Shells Are Fun. It is about finding
shells at the beach and how it is so much fun. You will have to read the book to
find out why it is so much fun! Now I would like you to partner up and take
turns reading the book to each other. I want you to listen for all the /sh/
words you hear. [The teacher walks around the room monitoring progress. After
individual paired reading, the class rereads
Shells Are Fun and points out all of
the /sh/ words and talks about the story.]
7. Say: Before we finish up on our lesson about one way to spell sh=/sh/, I want
to see how well you can pick out words with /sh/ in them. On this worksheet, it
asks you to color the words that begin with /sh/ and end in /sh/. Make sure you
look at each word carefully and check your work when you are done. [Collect
worksheets to evaluate individual child progess.]

To find out more about parent advocacy, check "WrightsLaw.com" web site: (2004 Federal Special Education IDEA - "Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act" - P. L. 446-Statute) Quote from Wright's Law advocacy web site: "To accomplish your objective of getting a good educational program for your child, you must have accurate information about your child. This information includes the results of different psychological and educational assessment tests.
Do not accept professional advice, even from physicians and psychologists, without a solid measurement testing assessment for your child or yourself. Dyslexia is a complex, many faceted issue, and is not resolved by pills.
If you don't have good quality diagnostic evaluations by an expert in the private sector, you won't be able to develop an appropriate educational program for your child.
School psychologists can be overworked with too many referral requests. So, what options do you have?" in "School Problems: It's the Kids' Fault!" page 8

Obtain an Outside Independent Second Opinion and use Jan as an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) on school assessments, evaluations, Individual Educational Placements (IEP's), reports, and grade or special services placements. Are you aware that it is a federal law through the 2004, IDEA statute (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) that school districts are required to pay for a second opinion if you are not satisfied with their evaluation results? Do you need assistance with a school referral placement or how to interpret the IEP? For Example: "The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written document that is developed for each eligible child with a disability, like a learning disability. The Part B regulations of IDEA specify, the procedures that school districts must follow to develop, review and revise the IEP for each child. The document linked here sets out the IEP content that those regulations require."

High Quality AA and AF
In our High Quality tests we bump the Antialiasing (AA) and Anisotropic Filtering (AF) up causing the card(s) to be put under more load. This usually helps us remove the CPU limitation. We normally use 4 x AA and 16 x AF as this is quite a common setup for most people who are venturing into the AA and AF area.
Cranking up the AA and AF we can see that no difference in performance is seen.
The increased load onto Lost Coast shows us no performance difference.
The only form of performance increase we have seen in the whole driver set comes with a bump in performance from the X1950XTX in the OpenGL based Prey.

ShopRite LPGA Classic
Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, Bay Course
Galloway, New Jersey
Pre-tournament notes and interviews
May 30, 2012
Cristie Kerr, Rolex Rankings No. 5 and 2004 ShopRite LPGA Classic champion
The LPGA Tour heads back to the Garden State for the ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway, New Jersey where action will unfold on the famed Bay Course at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club. This week's field will feature 144 players competing for a $1.5 million purse with $225,000 to the winner.
Rolex Rankings No. 12 Brittany Lincicome returns to Galloway to defend her title after posting a 5-under-par 66 on Sunday to defeat then- Rolex Rankings No. 3 Jiyai Shin and No. 4 Cristie Kerr. She secured the win with an impressive up-and-down from the thick grass on the 18th hole, ending with a one-stroke lead. Lincicome went on to record five additional top-10 finishes in 2011 including another win at the CN Canadian Women's Open, where she crossed the $4 million mark in career earnings.
This week's event also features 21 of the top-25 players in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings. This includes every winner from each event so far in the 2012 season: No. 1 Yani Tseng, No. 4 Ai Miyzatao, No. 7 Stacy Lewis, No. 14 Sun Young Yoo, No. 15 Angela Stanford, No. 79 Jessica Korda, No. 81 Pornanong Phatlum and No. 20 Azahara Munoz, who is coming off her first career victory two weeks ago at the Sybase Match Play Championship in Gladstone, New Jersey.
Caddie Change for Kerr…For the second straight event, Rolex Ranking No. 5 Cristie Kerr will have a new caddie on her bag. Kerr parted ways earlier this month with her caddie of the last two years, Jason Gilroyd.
"I had been struggling with some caddie issues," said Kerr. "I let my caddie of a few years go after Mobile and then had a temporary guy at Sybase and that didn't really work out. I was pretty uncomfortable, but it's not his fault."
Kerr spoke on the difficulties of finding the perfect combination of personality and knowledge in someone that will be her 'teammate' out on the course.
"I like to be part of a team," she said. "Yes, I like to drive the ship but I like to have a teammate out there. You need them to obviously get the information correct and judge conditions and to know your game. Ultimately, caddying comes down to club selection and the greens."
Kerr welcomes Worth Blackwelder back on her team starting this week and will trying to work on the successes they saw together early in her career.
"Worth was my caddie for three, maybe four years at the beginning of my career and we have five Tour wins together," said Kerr. "He's really easy going and he keeps me peaceful and he's really supportive. He's just a good caddie so I'm comfortable and feel like I'm going to be ready to go for the rest of the year now."
"I'm glad I'm going to have some kind of continuity and somebody that's familiar and someone that's a good caddie and positive," she added. "He's exactly what I need right now and hopefully it will work out for the long term."
Upping the Coverage…Golf Channel will again extend its LPGA Tour coverage this week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. An hour and half of air time will be added to Saturday's telecast (2:30-6:00p.m.ET) and two hours to the final round broadcast on Sunday (2:00-6:00p.m.ET).
Big Break reunion…Plenty of former and current contestants from Golf Channel's hit series Big Break are onsite this week participating in the numerous pro-ams ShopRite is hosting before tournament play begins. Selanee Henderson, Christina Stockton, Kelly Villarreal, and Aubrey McCormick are all contestants on this season's Big Break Atlantis and are still in the competition after three eliminations. Former contestants that will be taking part in the pro-am activities this week include: Ashley Prange, Kim Kouwabunpat, Bernadette Luse, Taryn Durham, Jeanne Cho, Brenda Ann Barb, Seema Sadekar, Ryann O'Toole, Gerina Piller and Kristy McPherson.
Saluting the Troops…Cristie Kerr had a busy holiday weekend leading into tournament week and spent Memorial Day honoring the armed forces, a cause she holds dear to her heart. Several members of her family have been involved in the military, including her dad who is a Vietnam veteran.
With strong personal ties to the U.S military, she has had no problem developing a strong sense of patriotism.
"I've always had the pride of being an American," said Kerr. "I just take pride in my country. I have always supported the military."
Kerr hosted 50 servicemen and women at Liberty National, the club she represents in New York and raised $15,000.All proceeds from the event went to the Wall Street War Fighter Foundation, an organization that assists wounded warriors who are interested in the finance world get training and earn jobs on Wall Street after their service. With the success of the outing in its inaugural year, Kerr hopes to make it an annual event.
Of Note… New Jersey native Meghan Stasi is the lone amateur in the field this week and will be competing on a sponsor exemption…Samantha Richdale and Courtney Harter earned their way into the field through Monday qualifying. Richdale shot a 5-under par 66 to clinch a spot in her third LPGA Tour event this season. Harter sank a 10-foot birdie putt on the first hole of the sudden-death playoff and the non-member will play in her first LPGA Tour event of her career…It was announced today that Cheyenne Woods will make her professional debut next week at the Tour's second major of the year at the Wegmans LPGA Championship on a sponsor exemption. Woods played in the event in 2009 as an amateur, but missed the cut.
Tweet of the Day: Goes to Alison Walshe, giving a shout out to her pro-am group today
"My crazy pro am group and I here at Atlantic City CC....check those umbrellas, stylin!!!" --@Walsheyyy
CRISTIE KERR, Rolex Rankings No. 5
Q. In your game or how you've been playing?
CRISTIE KERR: You know, my game is in good shape. I had been struggling with some caddie issues. I let my caddie of a few years go right after Mobile, and I just had kind of a temporary guy at, and that didn't work out.
I had kind of a temporary guy the week of the Match Play and I was pretty uncomfortable on the golf course. Not his fault. Just kind of a bad situation, and I hired back Worth who was my caddie of like three, maybe even almost four years in the beginning of my career and we have five tour wins together. So he's just really easygoing and just he kind of keeps me peaceful and he's just really supportive and he's a good caddie, so I'm comfortable and I feel like I'm going to be ready to go for the rest of the year now.
Q. How did you hook back up with him?
CRISTIE KERR: It just was sort of like he contacted me and said, hey, if you ever need my help, I'm kind of in between jobs right now, and I said, yeah, definitely, maybe we should think about trying to hook back up. And just ended up working out with the timing.
Q. Why did you two part originally? Was there a reason?
CRISTIE KERR: There's a lot of turnover out here on the tour and on the PGA TOUR. Relationships are hard. You spend a lot of time with your caddie and you have to be able to get along with them and sometimes something happens or a situation happens or things are just not -- you know, there's no spark after a while. It just kind of happens.
Q. Do you think people realize that when they're watching golf tournaments? You hear players talk sometimes about how special the relationship is with the caddie or how not special is.
CRISTIE KERR: Right.
Q. People don't quite think that sometimes that harmony really does make a difference maybe.
CRISTIE KERR: No. It really does make a difference, and you know, I don't really switch around a lot. I never really have. I've really only had -- I had Worth and then I've had Jason and then I've had John for a year and then Jason and back to Worth. So I don't really jump around that often, which is why going through the whole changeover the last month has been kind of an uncomfortable thing for me, so I'm glad I'm going to have some continuity and somebody that's familiar, that's a good caddie, that's positive. He's exactly what I need right now and hopefully it'll work out for the long-term.
Q. What do you want from the caddie out there? Some players are just like show up and give me the club.
CRISTIE KERR: No. I like to be part of the team. Yes, I drive the ship, but I like to have a teammate out there. You need them to obviously get the information correct and be able to judge conditions and to know your game.
You know, ultimately, you know caddying really comes down to like club selection into greens because you hit a tee shot off the tee, okay, hit it this far, but it's really irons and knowing, okay, 7, 8-iron, a lot of times it's what we're feeling, but there's definitely information in play there. So you gotta kind of -- you gotta get information correct and you have to have somebody that knows your game and kind of knows how you tick, and you have to have somebody that's positive because things aren't always going to go well. You need to have somebody that's a support structure as well. So Worth's got kind of all of that.
Q. Is that like we hit the great shot, she missed the putt?
CRISTIE KERR: Well, I mean there's definitely different personalities, not only in players but caddies. I can't say anything bad about Jason, my last caddie. He's a great caddie. It's just personality differences, and it was just kind of time to take a little break. So you know, I think he's working for Jessica now, but it wasn't really like a pointing of the fingers and, you know, you did this wrong, I did this. Sometimes you just have to go in a different direction.
Q. And how long was Jason your caddie before you let him go?
CRISTIE KERR: He worked for me for two years the first time and this last year for two years again. So maybe in two years he'll work another two years for me.
THE MODERATOR: Cristie, can you talk a little -- I know earlier in the week Monday you did this outing at Liberty National with some of the service men and women? Can you talk a little bit about your outing and what it meant to you, I know with your father having been a Vietnam veteran.
CRISTIE KERR: Yeah, my dad was a Vietnam veteran. He was there in '66 and '67, and he was infantry. He was on the ground, in the jungle. He was in a company of 250 men that they lost 50 or 60 the first year. So that's an unfortunate thing, but family members of mine have always been in the military, whether it's my father or, you know, his father, have always served in the military, and I've always felt like proud to be an American, you know, because you -- I don't know.
I just take pride in my country, and obviously I'm an American and I play in the Solheim Cup, and all those things come into play, but I've just always felt like I've supported the military. And one of the members at Liberty National, Greg White, and his wife, Mary, are very good friends of ours, and we'd always talked about -- he's a big supporter of different charities with the military, Wounded Warriors or the charity that we did this event for on Monday was called Wall Street War Fighters, and it takes the wounded -- it's a similar program to Wounded Warriors, but more of a financial aspect. So they take the Wounded Warriors and the people that are injured in battle and that are interested in the finance world, they train them for up to a year and then they find them jobs on Wall Street.
And it's got a great tie-in to Liberty National, which is the club I represent in New York, and Greg and Mary do a lot of work with that foundation, and General Pace, who basically is on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, you know, he is on the board of that foundation, and it just ended up happening to where it was during Fleet Week. It was on Memorial Day. We basically only planned it, you know, in the last four weeks. It came about like very suddenly.
Q. Is that hard to plan something like that in four weeks, to get something like that done?
CRISTIE KERR: Not really. We have a great golf course with Liberty and a great staff and we're fairly well connected in the New York area and we just kind of used our connections in Greg and the other members at Liberty used their connections to really kind of build this event up. It was a first-year event, and we raised $15,000, which doesn't seem like a lot, but the course, a lot of the fees were waved. The Fireman family just really totally stepped up and supported this event, and you know, so Greg and Mary, who are the members at Liberty, and myself, had always talked about doing an event, and we just decided all the pieces fell into place, all the stars in line, and he wrote emails to like a bunch of the members, and it started with three or four foursomes and it turned out that we ended up getting 18 foursomes, and whether the members could actually be there or not, they all sponsored the service men and women that came out to play and that were part of the event.
And you know, it was mostly the armed forces members, service members that came out and played. Like there were a few members that could make it, but most of the members that even couldn't make it, they still sponsored the event and you know, sponsored the groups, and it ended up being a great event. So it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some of these people to come and play this kind of golf course, and it was just great. It was great for the membership to be able to give back to something on Memorial Day during Fleet Week in New York. It just all really tied together.
Q. You compete for charities every week. What was it like to be part of that, like hands on, especially like on Memorial Day with service people?
CRISTIE KERR: It was really special, you know, because without their service, you know, I look at it like I wouldn't be able to have the opportunity to have the job that I have. We live in a country that's free and a lot of time we take it for granted, but they're putting their lives on the line every day.
It's funny, though, because a couple of them were just so nervous playing golf on this kind of course and I just played one hole with every group, and one of the guys was like, this is so much more pressure than being shot at in Afghanistan, and I said, there's no way. I'm sorry. I don't believe you. (Laughs).
But you know, without -- we take the gift of -- it's a gift, of freedom, for granted. But without the hard work and the dedication and the sacrifice of these service men and women, we wouldn't be able to do anything. I mean that's why America is I think the greatest country in the world because you know, like other countries you have to mandatory -- you have to be in the military mandatorally, however you say it. But you know, U.S. is one of the only countries where it's all on a voluntary basis for the military, obviously, besides Vietnam. But I think we live in the greatest country in the world and I just wanted to say thank you and just be a part of this event, and I'd always talked about it with Greg and Mary White, and they rallied the membership, and I did my part and it just all kind of came together.
Q. Is there going to be an annual event do you think? Did your dad get to go?
CRISTIE KERR: I hope so. And yes, I brought my dad up for the weekend before. I got to see him and go out.
Q. What did he think about it?
CRISTIE KERR: He thought it was great. He really did. He just had his knee operated on three months ago, knee replacement, so he couldn't actually play in it. But it was special for him.
Q. Did he say anything about the way vets are kind of treated now? He came home in an era where they were kind of overlooked a little bit?
CRISTIE KERR: Yeah, definitely. They didn't have post traumatic stress disorder, whatever the last time when they came back from Vietnam. I can remember -- I mean it's just so traumatic. Even if you're only over there for a year or two years. It's so traumatic. Like I used to travel with him with junior golf when I was a kid and he'd be sleeping and dreaming and yelling out orders to people. Alfred, cover, get this, take cover. You know, like man that gun over there or whatever. And he would never remember it when he woke up. You don't realize how traumatic it is.
Q. I had a cousin who was over there who couldn't talk about it?
CRISTIE KERR: They don't really talk about it that much. They really don't. It's not like something they want to brag about. They do their service and it's a traumatic time, and you know, it's not something I really hear any of the troops wanting to talk about, but yet they say I want to get back over there. Like even the injured service men and women say I want to go back. I need to go back. I need to be with my guys, my girls. Like I need to be with my unit.
Like it's just a different thing. It's almost like -- which is why like programs like the Wounded Warrior project that the LPGA is associated with and now Wall Street War Fighters is such a great thing to be involved in because that's their world and then they get injured and they come back, it's a shock. Like they don't know how to make it in our world because their world this is all they do and it's a shock to be almost integrated back into society because you know, it's different. So you have to have programs like that.
Q. So the four-foot putt really isn't worse?
CRISTIE KERR: No, definitely not. Life's all about perspective; right? And I just think that I want to try and build this event at Liberty, because it's good for the membership and it's a feel-good project, and you know, it pertains to Wall Street, and Wall Street gets a bad rap by a lot of people, especially with what happened with the financial crisis and whatever. Wall Street is one of those things that America needs, and it's a place that these Marines or Coast Guard or Navy or Army or whatever, they have a lot of specific skill set and they're very detailed oriented and they'd be very good in the financial world, so when they come back and they're wounded in any shape form or another you can take them and train them and put them to good use and that's what Wall Street war fighters is.
Q. What has it meant to you, you were talking about this event, but you were talking so much to with your wine label and this women's health center that you've started. To be able to put so much forth in terms of charitable efforts, and I know this week you're partnered with ShopRite and Coca-Cola to raise funds for the women's health center. But what do you get so much from giving back?
CRISTIE KERR: It makes me feel really good. A lot of people ask what do you want to be remembered for, your golf or other things and it sounds like an end-of-career question, but no, I mean I'm just really thrilled that my life has kind of taken this direction because, yeah, I want to win 20 more tournaments and I want to get in the Hall of Fame. I want to do all these kinds of things, but I just feel like if you're successful -- it's okay to be successful as long as you give back, and I guess the more I've gotten older, the more I've really appreciated that and understood that, and that's kind of what I want to do. So whether it's the wine, which we recently are sold out now because we sold a large chunk of it to China, and are even looking at expanding our line business or it's the women's health center that we have in Jersey City with Jersey City Medical Center, or different charities and projects, like I just feel like people get remembered for the things they do for other people and not necessarily just for -- unless you're like somebody that has the hundred tour wins. I just think that I want to be remembered in a good light. I want to be remembered for helping people.
I mean of course, I want to be personally successful, but I would feel better for myself doing that and not feeling selfish if I just tried to help other people, and that's kind of what my focus has been outside of the course, because it's just really fulfilling and I think karmacally it just kind of all comes back to you.
Q. Are you buying that whole role model thing -- I know the LPGA is really big on that, too. But you sort of seem like there's sort of an obligation there, like I've made it, I've had a good life.
CRISTIE KERR: Yeah, definitely, and it's kind of a contagious thing. The more I do, whether it's for my own personal charity or other, you want to do more. And it's not like it's no work at all. It's a lot of work, but it feels really good, and I feel like I will play better and I feel like I will do better for myself as long as I feel like I'm giving back. You know what I mean? Like it all comes back to you, and I guess that's kind of the way the universe works. I don't know.
Q. How hard is it to get a balance between your job and helping people? I mean helping so many people, I'm sure people are always kind of like pulling at you to --
CRISTIE KERR: Well, I mean I'm somewhat selfish. I mean we all are somewhat selfish. But I do what I can in the time that I have. I'm not saying I spend every moment of every day when I'm not on the golf course working on other stuff. That would be unrealistic. But -- I forgot the question.
Q. Just balancing your life.
CRISTIE KERR: Oh, yeah. I mean you have to try and find a balance. You know, I mean I have a lot of my own personal obligations with my sponsors and golf, we own an investment company, and obviously the wine business. So there's a lot of things that I have to do on a daily basis, and you know, if I didn't work with my husband on those things, I don't know if I would necessarily see him as much as I do. People don't realize how busy I actually am. But I try and do as much as I can.
Q. Real Sports is doing a piece this month on how many Koreans now are coming over. How is it being on the LPGA Tour now? You're the highest ranked American. How much has the tour changed like since you came out here? Is it harder for the Americans now, like to try to make it to be where you're at or --
CRISTIE KERR: It has changed a lot more because when I came out, there were a lot more Americans, and now there are a lot more international faces, whether they are Asians or Europeans or Australians, whatever. It is harder, you know, for the Americans to stand out and stand out consistently. We're just out numbered.
And you know, that's -- you know, it was written a couple of years ago, when are the Americans going to step up, and I think really, honestly, in the last couple years I think we have stepped up. Angela's won this year. Stacy's won this year. I mean I have not won in over a year now, and I'm looking to get back into the winner's circle. You say I'm the top-ranked American. I have to work hard to keep that. There's a lot of talented people out here and I don't discount that.
Q. Do you feel it's a little unfair when people put that -- like you may say, well, we are trying. We are doing as well as we can to be where we're at. We're just out numbered.
CRISTIE KERR: That's all we can do. We're definitely outnumbered. If it's a numbers game you look at the Top 10 every week, how many Americans are in the Top 10 and how many international players, whether they are Korean or Taiwanese or whatever, you know, if there are three out of ten, odds are definitely not in our favor that we're going to win every week, you know. So we're kind of out numbered in a sense, but we've got a lot of great Americans coming up, a lot of young girls coming up.
Q. That's what Mike said a couple weeks ago when we talked to him. He said, if I can have 5 of the top 15 being Americans, that's a good percentage, I think, with such global participation.
CRISTIE KERR: Oh, yeah. Definitely. For sure. We're building our base back in America now. We're starting to get more tournaments in America. We certainly have enough overseas. We're over there three to four times a year for three or four-week stretches at a time. That's a lot. And we're definitely starting to focus on building our base back in America. And we're doing all we can.
Q. And what's the state of your game this week, with the new caddie and the whole thing?
CRISTIE KERR: I feel good. I feel good. I really feel good.
Q. Are you ready go get back in the winner's circle?
CRISTIE KERR: Besides all that other stuff, with a new -- same clubs, but just a new set of irons because my other irons got so worn out I was starting to hit shots that went very inconsistent distances, so I've got a new set since Sybase base. I didn't really get to use them that much at Sybase, but this week I've finalized the loft and lie that I need to have on the clubs. So I've been kind of struggling with that a little bit, too. So everything is kind of calming down and I'm getting ready to play now.
Q. Does it feel good to come here?
CRISTIE KERR: It does.
Q. You've had success here.
CRISTIE KERR: Yeah, and I've won with Worth here. This is one of our five wins that we half won. So just kind of all feels like things are starting to align.
Q. What is Worth's full name?
CRISTIE KERR: Tracy Wadsworth Blackwelder, III. That's why people call him Worth.
Q. And what is it with the wine business that you do? Is there like a charity involved with that?
CRISTIE KERR: Curvature Wines is my wine label. I'm a vintner. I'm not a wine maker. The folks at Pride Mountain Vineyards in Napa, who's one of the top 100 wine estates in the world make the wine for us, and we're a small production. We make 5 to 600 cases a year and 100 percent of the profits go to breast cancer research. 50 percent to Suzanne Pride's charity and 50 percent to our own charity. Hopefully we'll be able to expand that one day, but for now that's what we're doing, and we've recently literally just sold all of it between placing it in high-end clubs like Oakmont or some of the Trump properties or restaurants in New York, like BLT Prime Steak Houses. We're in very high-end places. We've sold a lot of wine to China recently, so now we're sold out and our '09 cab is getting ready to be released, so '09, '10, and '11, I'm sure the Chinese company called Queen's Way is going to be purchasing a lot of that as well, so that's the best case scenario we could have ever hoped for. Because I was so in the hole -- I was probably -- we were making this wine saying we were going to give 100 percent of the profits away, but there were no profits until this year. So I was several hundred thousand dollars in the hole, and hoping to get my money back and really believing in this project and the product, and finally it has basically tipped to where we have -- we're faced with wanting to expand and trying to figure out how to do that and can we do that, because we can keep doing what we're doing and make this certain amount for charity or we can really expand or make a wine for profit as a second label to the brand that we give away 100 percent of the profits, so we're trying to figure out what to do right now. It's a good problem to have.
Q. Do you see a day when the event on Memorial Day becomes like five, to ten years from now where it just grows and grows and grows?
CRISTIE KERR: Yeah. I think so. It would be really cool to have like an Armed Forces Cup, have the better Marine golfers play against the better Army golfers and Navy. I think it would just be really fun. A lot of competition.
THE MODERATOR: Wonderful. Thanks, Cristie.

An interview with John Banville John Banville is the author of Booker Prize-winning novel The Sea. The Book of Evidence was shortlisted for the same award in 1989. It tells the story of Freddie Montgomery, who stole a Dutch old-master painting from a wealthy family friend and murdered the chambermaid who caught him in the act. Narcissistic, greedy and reckless, he travels through life apparently without remorse. It's a wonderfully dark, insightful and unnerving crime novel and a lyrical exploration of an unreliable mind. Here we go into the mind of Freddie's creator...
An interview with Ellen Feldman Guggenheim Fellow Ellen Feldman has written five novels. Her 2009 book Scottsboro, which has been made into a Picador Classic, is inspired by the shocking true story of the Scottsboro boys. In 1931, nine black youths were accused of raping two white girls. An impassioned young journalist tries to save the boys from the electric chair. It's this intersection between individual lives and wider political events and ideals that makes Feldman's writing so powerful.

As Dvice aptly puts it, the Nixie Chessboard Kit effectively combines "nerdiness of chess with the retro-geekiness of vintage Nixie tubes." Utilizing the '80s Soviet-era tubes as chess pieces, it brings the strategy game to a whole new level. Complete with scientific symbols, this chess set can't get any better. Operating on an induction power system, the pieces in the Nixie Chessboard Kit remain lit until taken off the board.
Designed by Tony of Lasermad, the Nixie Chessboard Kit was created after a demand for his original prototype emerged. While all of the electronic elements have been previously assembled and tested, most of the components will have to be put together from scratch, making this a very long project even for the most seasoned kit builder and tech enthusiast.

Type of life cycle that takes place in a bacteriophage after it infects certain types of bacteria. The bacteriophage's genome (entire collection of genes) enters the chromosome of the host bacterium and replicates together with it. No offspring viruses are produced; instead, the infecting virus lies dormant within the host's chromosome until the host is exposed to certain stimuli, such as ultraviolet light. At that point, the virus genome is removed from the host chromosome and begins to multiply, forming new viruses. Finally, the bacterial host is destroyed (lysed), releasing virus particles into the environment to infect new bacterial cells.

VIDEO: Southbridge residents return home from evacuation Many Southbridge residents have returned home after Mayor Baker's evacuation order was rescinded Tuesday afternoon arrived to find waterlogged basements and some minor flooding on local roads left behind in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Dennis Williams, a Southbridge resident stayed with a friend during the mandatory evacuation since Sunday, says he's busy trying to get water out of a flooded basement in his A Street home. Although he says the city warned him that his residence was in a flood area, the damage left by the storm still surprised him. "The inside of the house is fine--it's not flooded, the upstairs is good. It's just the basement is really flooded about six inches and we're getting that pumped out now, so that's going to take a while," Williams says. Cheryl Raymond is the mother of a Southbridge resident and says some streets were still blocked off while she tried to reach her daughter's home. She says the cleaning up the mess left by Sandy could take a long time. "My daughter's basement was filled with I think close to five feet of water and we still have sump pumps working. I went and got two of them and we still have them pumping--they're still pumping," she says. |

Hello fellow swappers, Everyone is invited to respond to this question but I especially would like to hear from the newest members of the group. All you lurkers that I so enjoyed chatting with at the spring swap this is your chance to have something to say as well. The fall swap is going to be my first as the new MTPS director. What do you know? Or more importantly what would you like to know? In looking for a speaker for the next swap, I would like them to cover a topic of interest to our silent group (lurkers),our newest members and members that are on the quiet side with thieir questions. So please if you will post your thoughts and ideas. I am eager to spur your interest and conversation. You might even have knowledge of a topic that the rest of us would like to hear about. Heck for that matter I might have to pull an old rabbit out of the hat but I sure would love to hear your interests. Thanks, Rhonda |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well you are nice to ask us Rhonda! Off the top of my head what I think might be interesting is plant propogation. How to go about rooting cuttings and which plants do it well. With times being what they are, it makes financial sense to acquire new perennials by dividing or rooting. It would also help some of us have more to bring to the swaps! ;) |
- Posted by cottagegirl_tn 7b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 15, 09 at 21:45
I echo Connie's post! I love to propagate things and it would ultimately result in more plant swap material. I am especially interested in what might grow in a simple mist system. Jennifer |

Who wants maters off what will probably be a 10+ foot tall Cherry Tomato plant? =) I'll be bringing some to Fall MTPS. - Steve |

I think Steve just volunteered to give a talk on growing 10ft tall tomato plants! |

I second the plant propogation idea. I didn't pay enough attention to my mother and now I find myself wanting to start some of the "old" flowering shrubs. |
- Posted by tn_veggie_gardner 6 (My Page) on Sat, Jun 20, 09 at 23:54
Tomato plant at 7 feet tall now & still growing. =) I'd like to hear about plant propogation also. Specifically, vegetable plants. - Steve |
- Posted by ladybug37091 z7 Tennessee (My Page) on Tue, Jun 23, 09 at 18:39
Thanks for the input gang. I am liking what I'm hearing here for sure. I have a specific tip for you, Steve. If you take a broken piece of tomato branch and stick it in a glass of water with an air stone in it, you will have roots within two days. It makes use of the suckers you pull off from the branch crotches. My Aunt has tomatoes in the winter just by keeping her a few plants in sunny windows. Rhonda |

What's an air stone? |
- Posted by tn_veggie_gardner 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 25, 09 at 11:06
What's an air stone? lol...Something I should probably know about, it seems. =) Sorry I haven't responded sooner. My membership was suspended for a few days for reasons i'd rather not discuss. ;-) |

An air stone is a stone of sorts that is usually used at the end of an air tube in a fish aquarium to make decorative things like treasure chest lids open or wheels move. It adds air to the water. |
When is the next MTPS? jim_6b |
- Posted by ladybug37091 z7 Tennessee (My Page) on Mon, Jun 29, 09 at 6:52
Hi Jim, The next MTPS is held on the third Saturday of October. Hope to see you there. Rhonda |
Thanks Rhonda. I hope I can make it this time. I've been wanting to come to a swap for years but there is always something that keeps me from making it. I have so many plants I want to give away. I will have a lot of seed that I have been collecting from my plants. I usually have free seed offers on the seed exchange forum and take all of my extra plants to work to give away but this fall I would like to bring them to the swap. jim_6b |

Sufjan Stevens – Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Volumes 6 – 10
'Tis the Season
With a season upon us that is inundated with holiday music, it's hard to distinguish between another holiday album and a genuine blend of holiday cheer. This year, Sufjan Stevens has kept the holiday tradition of finding good music alive with his release of Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Volumes 6 – 10. The box set is not only comprised of music but Stevens has wrapped up his joyful jubilee with temporary tattoos, Christmas stickers, self-assembly paper ornament, Christmas songbook and with many more surprises included; an element that is pure Sufjan Stevens.
The set also gifts listeners with collaborations from a few other familiar friends; Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry, The National's Aaron and Bryce Dessner, Cat Marino and a fine frenzy of musical friends rounding out the 58-track album.
"Silent Night" opens this holiday gift with a rustic and whimsical twist on this timeless song. Each song on the album either takes on a refreshing Stevens-spin from the classic from holiday's past or seems to be typically Stevens leaving a slightly confused take on the holidays. "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" is a 39 second enchanting flute instrumental and there's "The Child With the Star on His Head," a slow-paced song dusted lightly with horns but, transitioning over the course of the fifteen minutes into a more psychedelic rock holiday. "Jingle Bells" seems to take flowery hippy tone, while "I Am Santa's Helper" slightly misses the musical mark only adding a layer of confusion in between the a capella "Ah Holy Jesus," and the piano solo of "Moaz Tzur (Rock of Ages)."
This isn't the traditional Christmas album but then that's what makes – Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Volumes 6 – 10 so unique. Stevens doesn't put the holidays into the classic mold, but forms a sense of wonder and exploration. Hopefully we won't have to wait so long for the next set of volumes.

When bacteria gets into the urethra and bladder and remains there, it can cause redness, swelling, pain and infection. If not treated, a urinary tract or bladder infection can spread to the kidneys, causing high fever, chills and fatigue. Kidney infections can be life-threatening if the infection enters the bloodstream. Therefore, it's vital that you receive prompt medical treatment. Your primary care physician, gynecologist or a urologist can diagnose a UTI. If you have frequent or long-lasting UTIs, or see blood in your urine, see a urologist as soon as possible.
Women who are pregnant and those with diabetes are more likely to get urinary tract infections. If you do not drink enough fluids, you might also be at risk for UTIs. To help prevent UTIs, drink eight glasses of water each day, don't hold in your urine when you have to go, and clean your vaginal area -- particularly before and after sex.
Urinary tract infections can lead to incontinence -- involuntary loss of urine. However, they aren't the only cause of urinary incontinence, often referred to as "overactive bladder."
"Up to 50 percent of women middle-aged and older have urinary incontinence. However, it is important to remember that, while it is common, it is not a normal part of aging," says Elizabeth R. Mueller, MD, MSME, FACS, Medical Director of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at Loyola University Health System. "Risk factors associated with urinary incontinence include advancing age, being overweight, childbirth, neuromuscular diseases (stroke, back injuries, multiple sclerosis) and pelvic surgeries."
Approximately 90 percent of incontinence issues are stress incontinence or urgency incontinence. "Stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine with coughing, laughing or sneezing. Stress urinary incontinence can also occur with any activity that increases someone's intra-abdominal pressures (i.e. lifting, bending, etc.)," explains urogynecologist Mary South, MD of University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center. "Urge urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine accompanied by a sense of urgency. Patient's will often describe a sudden urge to void and will not be able to make it to the bathroom in time before they leak urine on themselves."
Though urinary incontinence is more common in women over 60, it affects people of all ages. Approximately 30 percent of pregnant women experience urinary incontinence, which can continue after delivery. Fortunately, incontinence is very treatable.
Pads such as Poise can help absorb urine leakage while you are pursuing lifestyle changes and medical treatments to help with overall bladder health and prevent or improve urinary incontinence.
"Many foods in the diet are triggers for urgency and urge leakage. Avoiding acidic foods that can irritate the bladder is a vital recommendation. These foods include coffees and teas (even decaffeinated), carbonated beverages, alcohol, chocolate, tomatoes and acidic fruit juices like orange and grapefruit juice," says Lisa N. Hawes, MD, urologist with Chesapeake Urology Associates in the Baltimore area. "You should also stop smoking -- tobacco can interfere with bladder control and is the leading cause of bladder cancer. Pelvic floor exercises like the Kegel exercises, Pilates and yoga will help improve core body strength and decrease leakage as well."
"Treatments are based on the cause and may include conservative approaches such as physical therapy, behavior modification, vaginal pessaries, timed urination and moderation of fluid intake," says Mueller. "There are drugs that may be used for urinary leakage associated with a strong urge to urinate. Other therapies include surgical treatments such as urethra slings, urethral bulking agents and the implantation of a bladder pacemaker. Novel therapies such as a botulisum toxin in the bladder are being used in women with severe forms of urinary incontinence due to neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis. There is no single treatment option that works for every woman and a specialist can help you determine the procedure that is appropriate for you."
"When bladder leakage develops very quickly (over a couple months) or is associated with changes in movement, this may be a sign of neurological disease. Sometimes a woman may have a new onset of bladder leakage that is also associated with seeing blood in the urine. This may represent a mass in the bladder and can be easily diagnosed often at the first visit with a healthcare provider who specializes in urinary leakage problems in women," explains Mueller.
Blood in the urine is the most common sign of bladder cancer. Early bladder cancer however is not usually fatal, so prompt detect is essential. If a tumor is found, surgery is performed and a pathologist examines the tumor. When cancer is found, a patient has a variety of treatment options depending on how deeply the tumor had penetrated the bladder wall. Bladder cancer treatments include surgery, radiation, immunotherapy and chemotherapy, whether alone or in any combination.
Another common bladder problem is interstitial cystitis (IC). This is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the bladder. It feels like a bladder infection; however, no bacteria are involved. People with IC may experience frequent urination, bladder pain (especially when the bladder is full), pain during sex and other symptoms. IC is 10 times more common in women than in men, and, according to UrologyHealth.org, it's estimated that as many as 700,000 women in the U.S. may have IC. Though IC is not considered curable, a number of treatments may significantly reduce the symptoms including medications and changes in diet.
No matter your bladder issues, it's important to visit your doctor at the onset of symptoms to find the right treatment for you.

Mary Ann Cotton – (Source Wikipedia)
Serial killers are not just a 20th Century invention. You will be familiar with Jack The Ripper who terrorised the night in Whitechapel during the Victorian era in England, however you may not have heard of Mary Ann Cotton.
This famous female serial killer was also active during the Victorian era in England and is responsible for as many as 21 victims.
Her method of murder is the easiest for female killers to adopt – poison. In her case it was generally Arsnic.
Mary Ann Cotton was born in the City of Sunderland UK back in 1832. She was raised by a severley religious father and after his death did not get on with her mother's new husband.
Cotton married four times! Yep – talk about a black widow!
She married her first husband, William Mowbray, in 1852 and by 1865 he had dies of an intestinal disorder. Mary cashed in his life insurance to the value of £35 which basically was half a year's wages for a manual labourer at that time.
Husband two was George Ward, she married him in 1865 and didn't last past 1866. His recurring "health issues" were the end of him. Once again, guess who waltzed to get a life insurance cheque cashed?
I bet you can see a trend starting here huh?
After marrying James Robinson in 1867 Mary thought she had hit the big time… James became suspicious though when she kept mithering him to get life insurance. After James found out that Mary had been stealing money and pawning valuable items he became angry and chucked her out.
Mary was living on the streets when husband no4 came along.
Frederick Cotton and Mary were married in 1870 and yes, he had life insurance. He followed his predecessors footsteps to his grave in December of 1871.
Mary Cotton basically got rid of anyone she didn't like, or who stood in her way, or who she could gain financially from. Her method was generally poisoning using arsenic which in those days was readily available.
Cotton was hung by the neck until dead in 1873, she was 40 years old.
There is even a nursery rhyme about her!
Mary Ann Cotton,
Dead and forgotten
She lies in her bed,
With her eyes wide open
Sing, sing, oh, what can I sing,
Mary Ann Cotton is tied up with string
Where, where? Up in the air
Sellin' black puddens a penny a pair
So… next time you get married, and you get pushed into purchasing that all important life insurance policy, you would be best served checking the cupboards for poison.

I don't know about you, but when I think about ministry in the New Year, I think about setting goals. I want ministry moving forward and so I think about what that looks like.
I think about the problem areas of ministry and how I can make it better in the New Year. I think about the students who struggled last year in their faith and the ones who decided this God thing wasn't for them. I think about what programs or resources we need to add to help these students.
And if I'm not careful, I can easily become the downfall of my efforts in the New Year. An important passage of scripture we must remember in ministry is 1 Corinthians 3:6-7:
"I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow."
If we are not careful in our thinking, we can quickly become the solution. Our programs and resources no longer point to salvation, but becomes salvation for people. And we have to remember that God uses what we do for His glory not our own. So that is why we must not get to caught up in what we can provide over who we are pointing students to.
I pray it encourages you to think differently in 2014. What would you add to the list in light of 1 Corinthians 3:6-7?
Aaron Crumbey oversees pastoral care for the high school ministry at Saddleback Church. He cares deeply about sharing Christ with students and seeing them reach their full potential in Christ.

The 'Kilian Martin: Altered Route' film is eerily beautiful.
Sponsored by Mercedes Benz, the film was directed by filmmaker Brett Novak. The conceptual video follows Spanish professional skateboarder Kilian Martin as he glides through an abandoned water park. The park was once considered a popular oasis that lay in the midst of the Mojave Desert. Now unhinged, the park provides an incredibly cinematic environment for Martin to skate through.
Novak haunts the screen with images of the parks former glory, and then juxtaposes this with Martin's freestyling. His moves are influenced by his gymnastics training, keeping them both fluid and innovative as he rides through the shot. Finally, the entire video is complemented by the soundtrack of Patrick Watson's 'Adventures in Your Own Backyard,' which helps to narrate the film beautifully.
