There's an undercurrent to FX's sumptuous and disturbing "American Horror Story: Asylum'", one that shows the oppressive lives women, minorities and gays have had to endure for eons while men in charge get to make the rules and call the shots.
The showrunners, Ryan Murphy, an openly gay man, and Brad Falchuk, a nerdy Jewish geek from Newton, Mass. draw on their own lives and experiences for many of their creative TV endeavors. This series plays in the shadows of the days of yore when these two might have had tremendous difficulties achieving what they have. It's part of what makes this entire series resonate with so many. Especially with the "Anne Frank" arc which began last night on 'AHS: Asylum.'
'I Am Anne Frank, Part 1' furthers the story of the series most loathsome character, Dr. Arden (James Cromwell) who is also impressive in "Boardwalk Empire" right now as a guest star playing financial scion Andrew Mellon.
Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) continues her quest to figure him out, as she smells the evil and knows he's not right. We discover the cahoots in play of her lustful object, Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes) who knows exactly who Arden is and has obfuscated his true identity, as the newest female charge (Anne Frank) of Briarcliff comes with veracity and venom for the former Nazi who now is chief medical officer of this repository of lost and forlorned humanity. Chilling moment when he calls Arden to let him know that more people are on to him.
"I Am Anne Frank, Part I" explores that sad realization of reality warring with fantasy and questioning one's sanity. Grace (Lizzie Brocheré) and Kit (Evan Peters) are both tragic figures, as we know Kit adored his late wife, Alma, but after being artfully therapized he now doubts his own actions. Grace claims sexual abuse that drove her to kill. What to believe?
Anne Frank (Franka Potente) joins the patients and immediately spots Arden from her alleged stay at Auschwitz. She is believable and her lucidity is evident in her fierce gaze which is what Sister Jude picks up on; you can spot crazy, and Anne is most certainly not. Hans Gruber is Arden's Nazi name, and you can bet Sister Jude will continue to press for the truth.
Meanwhile, poor Shelley (Chloe Sevigny) is in hell, as Arden is transforming her slowly and agonizingly into a sub-human thing, legless, and now desperate to die. Her disfigurement and pleas to "Kill me, kill me," to Anne who shoots Arden in the leg and tries to escape were the capper to this incredibly melancholic episode of AHS.
During the episode, our lesbian reporter, played by Sarah Paulson, was given conversion therapy as she was essentially tortured into wretching at imagery of female form and then made to pleasure herself with a fellow male patient, which of course goes nowhere. The sad truth is that homosexuality was and still is considered by some religious zealots as a treatable mental illness.
This is a large messy and delicious story with so many moving parts that are both entirely believable and absurdly far-fetched, it remains to be one of the better efforts this fall on television.
"American Horror Story: Asylum" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on FX.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is LUCY!
Facts about LUCY
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Senior
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
LUCY's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, and not good with kids.
LUCY IS A COURTESY LISTING ONLY. AZJRR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OR CONDUCT OF THIS DOG &/OR OWNER, OR RESULTING ADOPTION OF THIS PET. ALL INQUIRIES CONCERNING LUCY MUST BE MADE TO ALICIA AT firstname.lastname@example.com, OR 480-550-2306.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds or as we call her, Lucy is a 10 year old female Jack Russell Terrier. She is pure bred and AKC registered and I have her papers. She is also microchipped and I have those papers. I got Lucy at 9 weeks old here in Scottsdale and have loved her dearly ever since. She has been through 3 different training programs and is a very smart and affectionate little 11 lb. dog. Unfortunately, she isn't too fond of my new 4 and 1/2 month old son. She has never harmed him or anyone for that matter, but she displays the type of behavior toward him that she displays if she saw a rabbit or other prey. She doesn't understand him or what he is and I understand that is not her fault. Lucy is not an aggressive dog and is very kind and gentle with all people. She just doesn't know what babies are and therefore thinks they are prey. Unfortunately my husband and I are very nervous that one day something might happen with the baby and it's created tension in our home. After trying to make it work for 4.5 months, we have finally realized it just isn't possible. She isn't meant to be in a home with babies, cats or other female dogs.
Lucy is fully housebroken via doggy door. So I should say she is doggy door trained. She still has energy and is playful, but is past the age when Jack's are most energetic. She loves bones and treats and can sit, lay down, stay, knows the off command and a special trick...she can do the "Michael Jackson". Basically we offer her a treat and she hops backward like she is moonwalking. It's adorable and quite entertaining. She loves to go on walks, but isn't as big of a fan of car rides. She loves to snuggle and cuddle and if you will let her, she loves to sit with you on the couch or snuggle and burrow down under the covers of the bed. She also loves to swim! She will literally volley a lightweight, bouncy ball in the pool and just outside it for hours. She also loves table scraps and because she has been given them, she may sit on her back legs with her paws in the air and hope for something to hit the floor. She just wants to be a part of the family and right in the middle of what everyone is doing. She is quite social with strangers and all people.
Lucy is starved for attention and deserves to be in a home without children under 6 where she can be loved and cuddled and doted on. She doesn't deserve to be crated all the time and kept away from the family because we have to protect our baby and are in fear or something happening to him.
Lucy isn't great at dog parks. She has lived with a male Jack Russell and a male Wheaton Terrier and done well. She seems to always be alpha and will growl to protect her food or toys a bit. She would not do well with another female dog. She did attack my mom's male Maltese in our home, but we are sure it was because this small dog was confusing for her and because he was in her territory. Jack Russell Terriers are territorial and hunters by nature and they require time and attention and structure to thrive. I will say that she is easy for a Jack Russell, but someone should know Jacks or be a seasoned dog owner in my opinion to have a Jack.
Lucy is fully up-to-date on her shots and has recently had a full dental exam. Her vet is Saguaro Veterinary and they are happy to provide her records upon request. I would like her to go to a good home where she will be loved and cared for for the remainder of her life. Jacks live 18 to 20 years so she is only truly 1/2 way through her life and I don't want to see her go from home to home. She deserves only one more place to call home. She would do brilliantly in a home with land or a big back yard to play. She would not do well in a condo or apartment or mobile home as she is doggy door trained and needs a back yard and doggy door. She will truly make an amazing pet for someone!!!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
LUCY, a Phoenix Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Kentucky Lottery announced today in a board of directors meeting that sales for Fiscal Year 2014 were $858.9 million (including $15.6 million in free tickets). This breaks the old sales record established in FY13 of $846.6 million by 1.4%.
Those sales led to record-breaking profits returned to the Commonwealth. A total of $225.5 million was earned for the college scholarship and grant programs funded by the Kentucky Lottery, breaking the old record of $223.8 million. However, the Lottery was $4.5 million below what was budgeted by the Commonwealth for FY14 dividends. Unclaimed prizes, which are directed by law to the KEES scholarship reserve fund, were $8.1 million versus $9.2 million in FY13. In addition, the Commonwealth received $2.3 million in taxes withheld from prizes.
Scratch-off ticket sales were down slightly to $521.5 million versus their record-level $522.2 million in the last fiscal year. Draw game sales fell to $307.8 million, a decrease of 5.1% from sales of $324.4 million in FY13.
"Powerball was the primary factor which led to the decline in draw game sales in the past fiscal year," said the KLC's Executive Vice President and CFO Howard Kline. "With the lack of major and sustained jackpots for the year, Powerball sales in Kentucky dropped $25.4 million. Our Mega Millions game helped make up part of that shortfall. That game exceeded last year's sales by $12.7 million, which was strong but not enough to make up the losses from Powerball." Combined FY14 sales for Powerball and Mega Millions in Kentucky were $119.4 million, versus $132.1 in in FY13. This is a $12.7 million or 9.6% decline.
Sales of the new Keno game were a bright spot in FY14. The game generated $29.4 million since its launch in November, up from the anticipated $28 million budgeted for FY14. As a result of the cost of launching the Keno game, operating expenses were up slightly in FY14 to $27.3 million from $26.4 million in FY13.
"We're actively engaged in taking steps to improve our sales performance," said the Lottery's President and CEO Arch Gleason. "We're making changes to our scratch-off program which we feel will bolster sales. We also continue to recruit new Keno retailers with the focus being on expanding sales of the game, and a new multi-state game set to be launched in October should significantly add to overall draw game sales."
"For 16 out of the past 21 years, we've broken sales records. We've also broken dividend transfer records in 16 years out of the past 21," Gleason said. "Our dividends to the state – while also record-breaking – weren't as high as we wanted. It was a tough year in several respects, but we continue to work toward sales and dividend improvement. That's what the Commonwealth expects from us, and that's what college students receiving our scholarship and grant funds expect from us.
According to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (which administers Lottery-funded college scholarship and grant programs), since 1999 the Kentucky Lottery has funded $2,209,374,268 in college scholarship and grant programs for 569,542 students. The Lottery is the sole funding source for the KEES scholarship program, and also funds the need-based College Access Program and Kentucky Tuition Grants.
Since inception, the Lottery has sold $15.53 billion in tickets, returning $4.16 billion to the Commonwealth. Winners have received $9.35 billion in prizes, and retailers have been paid $976.1 million. Operating expenses have been held to 6.7% of sales (the FY14 operating expense level was 4.9%).
In other business, the board approved:
- A lease extension for the Prestonsburg regional office and warehouse space;
- An amendment to the agreement with Camelot Global Services (North America) for retailer operations assessment and related services;
- Continuation of the employee incentive comp plan;
- A new appointment to the retirement committee, and;
- Rules and regulations for ten scratch-off tickets.
The next meeting of the KLC's board of directors will be September 26. The meeting will begin at 9:30 AM EST, and will be held at the KLC headquarters at 1011 West Main Street in Louisville. Committee meetings will begin at 8:30 AM EST.

I really wish I had the energy to go back and look closer. I just skimmed a bit and it looked like youse guys had some fun back there, but I'm just too totaled (yes, "Like, totally?" - obscure - to some, anyway, movie reference ) to go there right now. Hope to catch up later.

It's the last week of the hubs and I's "challenge". He'll be home before my next weigh in post (unless I decide to do one on Wednesday before I head to San Antonio).
I didn't run at all this week. I just…didn't feel like it. Hot yoga was good though. Really good actually. I'm planning on hitting it up again at least once before San Antonio. Morning hot yoga has won a place in my heart… if i tell myself repeatedly that I will get up at 6a and leave my house by 6:20a. It's doable. Even for me who is sometimes the slowest person ever at getting ready for work in the morning. I've accepted I'm likely not going to hit my 75 mile goal this month but I'm okay with that. I PR'ed in two races and I feel really good about that. Ultimately, that's all that matters.
Weigh in week: I lost count but the LAST ONE
Also, I'll make sure hubs posts a follow up to his part 1 post on his lifestyle changes so you can see the whole story (and what I was competing with )
Starting weight: 154(ish)
Current weight: 134.8
Last week: 135.8
Difference: -1.0
Total Loss: -19.2 (!!!)
I've still got about 10-15 lbs to go before goal but I'm getting quite comfortable with my body where as before I felt incredibly subconscious. I'll do some before and after pictures next week because the difference is kind of huge. Who knew what a difference 20 lbs made on a 5'2″ frame.
Best meal this week? The tofu stir fry with soba noodles I made the other night. And then had for lunch. NOMS.
Flashback Friday?
I wanted to throw in something random here but last night upon going through one of my boxes of photos (oh em gee, there are so many!) I stumbled upon more old skool pictures – including this one. This was my room when we lived in Naugatuck, CT (just down the road from where Adam grew up!) while my sister was a "normal" female and had a Barbie mansion and posters of NKOTB and Tiffany and Debbie Gibson…I had…Bon Jovi. I was too cool for school. (and I don't mean normal in the literal sense. I just mean she was more "pop" like and me? I was all rock and roll even at an early age.
Bon Jovi, FYI, is still on my list of concerts I am dying to see in my lifetime. Him, Jimmy Buffett, Journey, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen. Yes I know, I don't know how Taylor Swift ended up on there but I think one of her concerts would be a lot of fun. The inner teeny bopper in me is just dying to have her as one of my BFF's okay?

I was walking downhill through President's Lawn one day when I felt I saw glistening sea waves that turned out to be reflections from the melting ice that covered the lawn.
Sea waves
Glistening -
On President's Lawn
This week our discussion starts off with a new type of reaction to evanescence, namely hedonism, that thrived in the Edo period (Lecture 2/20.) Ihara Saikaku's Woman Who Loved Love no doubt captures the sorrowful pleasure of such a society; further, as Professor Inouye points out, the work also pinpoints the prostitutes of the time as prominently modern, whose become acutely aware of the issue of their identity as they are set against the traditional expectations of women (Inouye 71.) I read this work last semester, but even as I revisit it, the unnamed lady's ironical discovery at the temple strikes me nonetheless: the sadness of her hedonistic life begins with her innate beauty, develops with her involuntary involvement with the pleasure quarters, and culminates here with this failure of finding salvation even in the Buddha (Ihara 213-217.) The next point of discussion is mono no aware, which can help explain the Edo period hedonism. This "national consciousness" of "the sadness of things" fledges in the Edo period despite its much earlier origin, because during the political oppression and economic prosperity of the Tokugawa era, the masses developed "a sense of fated acceptance" (Momokawa 2; Inouye 81.) To me the situation seems totally imaginable, although it also makes me think what mentality the contemporary Chinese developed during a similar "close-the-country" policy imposed by the Qing government. It is also intriguing to know in advance that mono no aware would establish itself as the Japanese "national consciousness" and live till this day; I cannot wait to see how this comes by. The third point of discussion is the "shifting point of view" of the Japanese (Lecture 2/21.) This lack of perspective comes as no surprise to me, for in the Japanese film class I took last semester, I have seen numerous examples of early Japanese films that refuse to use visual depth to signify perspective, and rather create flat shots where every element within is treated equally and with intense attention.

Housing Benefit helps people on a low income pay some or all of their rent.
You can apply if you're working or unemployed, unless you get Universal Credit. If you get Universal Credit your housing costs are included in that.
If you live with a partner, only one of you can get Housing Benefit.
The Council runs the scheme but the Government sets the rules. How much you get depends on:
- whether you have a partner
- your income from working, and from things like benefits and pensions.
- any savings or investments you have
- the circumstances of other people living with you (their age and income for example)
- the number of bedrooms you need
- 'Local Housing Allowance' rules if you rent from a private landlord.
See how these circumstances affect how much benefit you get
If you're single and under 35, you can only get Housing Benefit for a bedsit, or for a single room in shared accommodation.
We usually pay Housing Benefit weekly, from the Monday after we get your claim.
You only need to claim once. We'll check your circumstances and decide how much you can get. You must tell us straight away if your circumstances change.

27 October 2009
Research into immunity and infection at Cardiff University has been given a multi-million pound boost with a major award from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
An internationally recognised team from the School of Medicine, led by Professor Andy Sewell, will further their world-leading work into T-cells after being awarded £3M by the BBSRC.
T-cells perform essential roles in the human immune system. They control and protect us from infection, are vital in the natural eradication of cancer and hold the key to successful vaccinations.
T-cells can also malfunction and when this occurs, they are believed to cause autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Autoimmunity is typically chronic, progressively debilitating and cannot be cured and these diseases generate huge human and financial costs.
The £3M award will allow Professor Sewell and his team to examine how individual T-cells recognise huge numbers of foreign antigens (known as cross-reactivity). This essential cross-reactivity is enabled because the receptor molecule on the T-cell surface is highly promiscuous and can recognise many similar molecular 'shapes'.
While T-cell receptor promiscuity allows our T-cells to control infection it is also thought to be responsible for the harmful effects these cells can sometimes cause. Autoimmunity is believed to arise when a receptor that is raised to fight infection is inadvertently promiscuous enough to recognize our own tissues. This promiscuous receptor recognition can also result in allergic reactions and is responsible for why our immune cells attack a 'foreign' organ in the first week after it is transplanted.
Explaining the need for this research, Professor Sewell said: "T-cell receptor promiscuity sits at the very heart of most human health. Despite its obvious importance, there has never yet been a proper attempt to examine or assess this promiscuity and the T-cell cross-reactivity it enables. New tools developed by the Cardiff team have finally provided the keys to unlock this study and make this research especially timely.
"Basic biological research is vital for later clinical applications but this is one of those areas where the possibilities for translation are clear from the outset. As such, we anticipate that this work will generate valuable spin offs that improve clinical practice in addition to furthering our understanding of the very interaction that orchestrates human immunity."
Professor Janet Allen, Director of Research, BBSRC, said: "Fundamental bioscience research is vital to underpin advances in medicine and healthcare. By understanding processes that lie at the very core of how our bodies function, such as T-cell receptor promiscuity, researchers can go on to use the knowledge to develop new treatments and therapies for a wide range of diseases."
Professor Sewell and his team have a long history in T-cell research. They have already helped engineer T-cell receptors that can recognise all the different disguises that HIV is known to have used to evade detection. The genetically engineered cells were able to destroy HIV-infected cells in culture and clinical trials are just starting.
BBSRC is the main UK public funder of bioscience research. It invests around £450M a year in cutting-edge science and training that helps to support the national quality of life and the UK economy by underpinning developments in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food and agriculture.
The Cardiff group will start work on the new research in November 2009.
1. Cardiff School of Medicine
Cardiff University's School of Medicine is a significant contributor to healthcare in Wales, a major provider of professional staff for the National Health Service and an international centre of excellence for research delivering substantial health benefits locally and internationally. The School's 800 staff include 500 research and academic staff who teach more than 2,000 students, including 1,110 postgraduate students.
The School is based at the Heath Park Campus, a site it shares the University Hospital of Wales, the third largest university hospital in the UK. The School has an all-Wales role, contributing greatly to promoting, enhancing and protecting the nation's health. A key partner in this role is the National Health Service (NHS) in Wales, with which the School is linked at all levels. This mutual dependency is illustrated by the teaching of medical undergraduates in more than 150 hospitals located in all of Wales' health authorities. The medical curriculum followed at the
School enables students to acquire and apply knowledge, skills, judgement and attitudes appropriate to delivering a high standard of professional care. Around 300 new doctors currently graduate from the School every year and the Welsh Assembly Government has invested substantially in new teaching facilities to increase this number further.
The School is an international leader in basic and clinically applied research activities and scored highly in the most recent Government Research Assessment Exercise. School of Medicine researchers annually win tens of millions of pounds in research awards to work with Government, the healthcare industries and the charitable sector on the most pressing issues of human health. The School has six interdisciplinary research groups to draw upon its own strength in depth and the vast range of expertise available across Cardiff University. These groups are addressing cancer; health sciences research; cardiovascular sciences; genomic approaches to health and disease; infection, immunity and inflammation; metabolism repair and regeneration. The School continually invests in facilities, with major developments including the Henry Wellcome Building for Biomedical Research in Wales, the largest enterprise of its kind ever in Wales. This £11M centre contains research laboratories and facilities for patients to participate in investigations of new disease treatments.
The School has been instrumental in establishing and running many important national research initiatives including the Wales Gene Park, Wales Cancer Bank, the Cardiff Institute for Tissue Engineering and Repair and the Healing Foundation UK Centre for Burns Research. The Wales Gene Park is involved in biomedical research, the provision to the NHS of novel diagnostic and clinical services, knowledge dissemination, genetics and genetics education, and the successful commercialisation of innovations arising from such activities. The Wales Cancer Bank is a collaborative project involving several Welsh NHS Trusts, the universities of Bangor and Swansea and the Welsh Assembly Government and is the first population-based collection of tumour and control tissue samples in Wales. The research will help establish the causes of cancer, help identify new areas for treatment and find out the best way to care for individual patients.
The Cardiff Institute for Tissue Engineering and Repair uses scientific research to solve problems which are placing a heavy burden on health services around the world, such as, eye repair, chronic wounds, kidney repair and sports injuries. The Healing Foundation UK Centre for Burns Research is a multi-million pound collaboration investigating treatments and support fort the physical and mental rehabilitation of the 14,000 people suffering severe burns in the country every year.
2. Cardiff University
Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities and is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's most research intensive universities. Among its academic staff are two Nobel Laureates, including the winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Medicine, Professor Sir Martin Evans.
Founded by Royal Charter in 1883, today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University's breadth of expertise in research and research-led teaching encompasses: the humanities; the natural, physical, health, life and social sciences; engineering and technology; preparation for a wide range of professions; and a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning.

When I was pregnant and watching DVDs about the birthing process, the OB-GYN onscreen kept insisting that no matter what, "You do NOT want a Cesarean!" She herself had managed to have twins out the viola without drugs, and if she could do it, so could you! She drove this point home over and over: natural childbirth is good, without any drugs is even better. C-sections are BAD. Bad, bad, bad. Epidurals, bad. Pitocin, worst of all.
Of course, I immediately told my husband, "Good God, I am never having a C-section, how horrible! She says the healing process takes two months and it's super traumatic for the poor baby and so bad for you as a woman! I'm totally going to have a nice and easy vaginal birth." Well, of course I didn't have a nice and easy vaginal birth. I ended up having a C-Section. With both Pitocin and an Epidural to boot. Keep reading »

It is the Time of Repentance and the Hour of Prayer
58 minutes ago
Reflections on the Orthodox faith and life in this crazy 21st century world by an Orthodox priest and a few of his friends.
TEACHER: So Becky, what do you want to be when you grow up?
BECKY: A mommy.
TEACHER (with some surprise in her voice): No, I mean, what job do you want to have? What career?
BECKY: A mommy.
…were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. (Romans 6:3-9)
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law. (1 Corinthians 9:19-21).
It is in this which the disciples are to rejoice. It is only because the Father is greater, that humanity is to break forth in joy. Humanity is to rejoice for One of their own, who is less than the Father, has returned to His glory, and in doing so has glorified humanity. Humanity is to rejoice, for now its King will be enthroned. Humanity is to rejoice, for in seeing the One who is sent, it has seen the Greater who sends Him. Humanity is to rejoice, for it has come face to face with the Living God who previously declared: "no man shall see Me, and live." Humanity is to rejoice for through Jesus it still lives.My sincere hope is that Dr. Fanous will produce more volumes like Taught by God, discussing more of Jesus' difficult sayings, and then those of St. Paul and the other Apostles.
The knowledge of the soul is granted when man ceases giving great importance to reason and is engaged in the implementation of the commandments of Christ. Fasting, prayer, charity, the reading of the holy Scriptures, the acquisition of virtues, the fight and struggle against passions are all a result of this knowledge…Spiritual knowledge is the state of spiritual theoria, when one sees invisibly and hears inaudibly and comprehends incomprehensibly the glory of God. (149)

Maine Warden Service
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2011) |
The Maine Warden Service is a law enforcement agency that is part of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Game wardens are positioned all over Maine to protect wilderness and animal habitats. They enforce safety laws for all terrain vehicles and snowmobilesas well as Maine's fish and game laws. They investigate hunting-related shooting accidents and ATV or snowmobile crashes. The service launches search and rescue operations, and patrols the lakes and woods of Maine using snowmobiles, ATVs, planes, and trucks.
The Maine Warden Service dates back to 1880, when the first wardens were appointed to enforce laws giving Maine's moose and deer their first legal protection. The service's first enforcement action occurred on March 12, 1880 when two men were apprehended for killing a doe in closed season. Since the Services beginning 15 officers have died in the line of duty.

Specialty Teams[edit]
The Warden Service is also made up of several "specialty teams". They are Aviation, Canine, Special Investigations, Dive Team, Evidence Recovery, Firearms, Forensic Mapping, Honor Guard, and Incident Management. Each team is made up of fully fledged Wardens. The Aviation Department is made up of four aircraft and three full time pilots. They engage in search-and-rescue operations, fish-stocking, and other activities such as surveillance. The most recent Warden to die in the field was pilot Daryl R. Gordon when his ski-equipped Cessna 185 crashed onto the frozen surface Clear Lake in Northern Maine.

Best Uses
Comments about Take 2 Double Bicycle Trailer:
Very easy to set up and put away. I've only used a few times, but my daughter absolutely loves it! We even put our toy poodle in with her and seems to enjoy it too. We've hit some bumpy roads or had to veer off into the grass and it has done great. My daughter doesn't complain of a rough ride at all. I actually have to keep checking that she's still back there if I can't hear her. Can't even feel it on the bike

- OR - Select an option belowWhen Patxi Azpiroz decided he wanted to offer deep-dish Chicago-style pizza in California, he spent two years experimenting in his small San Francisco apartment. "That's how we came up with our recipes – by doing things over and over again until everyone agreed on what their favorite sauce, dough and pizzas were," he says. "We've been successful because I really do think we have the best pizza on the West Coast. The passion we have for people and our product is unparalleled, and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen teaching everyone how to make pizza." Today, Azpiroz and his partner, Bill Freeman, have a half-dozen Patxi's Pizza outlets in California, and in 2012 the chain moved into Colorado, opening a spot in Englewood and then one in Cherry Creek, where it serves up authentic Chicago pies – with wine and beer to wash everything down. "People in Denver tell me that they're amazed – that they don't just want our pizza, but they need our pizza," Azpiroz says. "I like spreading the love."

Top 10 Quarterbacks of All-Time
10. Roger Staubach
Staubach became a legend after missing the first four seasons of his career to the Naval Academy, leading the Cowboy's to nine-straight winning seasons and two Super Bowl championships. Along the way, he became the first player to win the Heisman Trophy and a Super Bowl MVP and the man who coined the phrase "Hail Mary" with one legendary bomb in a 1975 playoff game vs. the Vikings. Of course, Staubach also made the Cowboys America's team, meaning he's the reason you can't go anywhere in the country without bumping into their crazy fans. Try to forgive him.
Top 25 Fittest NFL Players of All-Time>>>
9. Brett Favre
Find Supplements to Fuel Your Training at GNC Live Well >>>
He loses points for overexposure—not to mention overuse of a camera phone—but there's no denying that Favre was one of the greats. The three-time MVP and 11-time Pro Bowler was a tough, gritty QB beloved by teammates and obsessed over by the media. And thanks in part to his 297 consecutive starts, Favre became the only QB in history to top 70,000 passing yards and 500 touchdowns. Now just pray that those retirement papers he filed on January 17 are binding.
8. Dan Marino
Unfortunately, Marino loses points for never winning the big one and putting up an uninspiring 8-10 career record in the postseason with a QB rating that dipped to 77.1 in the playoffs. Still, No. 13 threw for 61,361 yards and 420 touchdowns in his NFL career, putting up numbers unheard of in the '80s, including a legendary sophomore season that saw him collect 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns. Plus, he did one hell of a job playing a kidnapping victim in Ace Venture Pet Detective.
7. Terry Bradshaw
It's tempting to think of Terry Bradshaw as the cackling talking head on Fox NFL Sunday, a Southern fried Frankenstein monster who shouldn't be taken seriously. And you're right. But he was also a damn fine quarterback. With an arm that was always powerful and often erratic, Bradshaw stepped it up when it counted: his 70.9 regular season QB rating improved to 83.0 in the playoffs and 111.2 in the Super Bowl. No wonder he became the first QB to win three (and then four) championships.

Six months ago, we remodeled our master bath. Our shower is white marble which I clean daily with mild dishwasher liquid soap, and weekly with a granite & natural stone cleaner. It's clean and very attractive. A few weeks ago I noticed yellow staining at the bottom of the shower. It does not appear to respond to my cleaning. I am puzzled as to what is causing this and why my natural stone cleaner is not removing it. I should add that we have been careful to only use ph neutral products in the shower. Any thoughts and suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I should add that the shower was sealed 6 months ago and the yellow staining is appearing at the bottom of the walls, just above the floor. |
Stop washing the walls with soap. I believe the residue is tending to run down and stain the lower walls. Neutral PH liquid soap is fine for you. When you finish the shower and dry off, use the towel to dry the walls. |

White marbles can contain ferrous minerals(iron). They are also absorbent . The stone can absorb moisture in a shower stall from the sides ,edges and the underneath. It sounds like the stone is absorbing water from the joints. Silicone will help but the yellow stains is the iron oxidizing. It's rust. Sealers don't help this issue much because moisture will find a way in. This doesn't happen all the time with white marbles but every now and again we see this. |

Posts Tagged 'Owl'
Tula Pink x Urban Threads
Ever since I took delivery on my Bernina 830 I have been absolutely obsessed with machine embroidery. I want to embroider everything or at least just zone out while I watch the machine make it's magical stitchery. It's kind of awesome. When I started playing around with the machine my first stop was Urban Threads. I wanted some little things to play with while I got the hang of it. I could seriously watch that thing go forever. It's meditative and not just a little hypnotizing. So here's the deal… I have partnered up with Urban Threads to make my very first machine embroidery design available to you. I thought it only fitting that my first embroidery design would be a version of my very first fabric design. So I'm not going to get all nostalgic and mooshy on you I just thought I might point that out There are a whole bunch of different file types available so you should be able to find a file type that will work with any machine that is capable of embroidery. The Owl is available in three sizes and downloads instantly to your computer. Fun right? Yep I thought so too. So have it!
Featured Artist interview is in the link provided below. Available for Machine Embroidery and for those with more time and less machinery there is the Hand Embroidery option as well.
website - www.urbanthreads.com
So Here's the deal. I get five to ten emails a week asking me where people can find those owls from Full Moon Forest. They are pretty much just gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. I have some left but I'm saving them for my grandkids or maybe to sell on ebay when they become antiques. Think of this collection as a Full Moon Forest II using everything I have learned in between then and now. I always hear people say " If I knew then…" well I do so I did. I loved that first fabric line and it sort of came and went in a flash. I never felt like it had the chance it deserved. By the time people started to see it and ask for it it was all snatched up. So Hushabye is an homage to my humble beginnings. I hope y'all like it. By the way…
Hushabye is due in stores in August!
The Making of…
Sorry it's been a while but I was busy receiving gifts in between shoving delicious little cookies in my eager little face. Now I feel ill so I thought this might distract me from all of that mirth. Since I have been a little wrapped up in myself and my baby twin sisters (a.k.a. the "Twinkies") I thought I might take this time to post some of the drawings that went into the making of Full Moon Forest. I have been assured that this will be interesting to others. I am not so sure. Anywhoo, here they are. From drawing to cotton there isn't a whole lot that changes. I take the drawings, scan them and drop them into Illustrator where I redraw them digitally so I can play with the line weights, change out colors and adjust the sizing. That's about it. So, enjoy the drawings maybe next time I will make them more colorful or jazz them up a bit, decoupage on them or something.
