We have next-door neighbors that we've had for over 20 years. We are both 45, and they are both around 65. We could NOT be more different from each other. We are Atheists and Liberal Democrats, and they are born-again and VERY right-wing. But they are really good neighbors. Bring us baked-goods, nice to us, etc. We do the same. But every once-in-a-while the wife says something bad about President Obama, or worse, something racist, etc. Once she asked me to sign a petition to help get abortion made illegal. I said I would never sign something like that. She HAS to know we are Democrats, we've seen each other @ the polls and she's seen signs in our yard, etc. SO. I just stepped over there today to tell them (and be friendly, because they are always complimenting our kids) that our daughter, 20, got a paid internship (YAY!), and our son who has been homeschooled (our daughter never was) got his GED on the first try (he got it because there is no diploma for homeschoolers in IL). I was proud and knew they'd be happy for them.
Anyway, to make a short-story long, she brings up President Obama and how he's a Socialist,drank and snorted cocaine (I pointed out that even if he did, which I don't know, so did her precious George W and she ignored that) and instead of just changing the subject, I decided to not be quiet. I just said well I am voting for Obama again, and we'll just have to agree to disagree. She just sort-of mumbled something and stepped over by her husband. Before THIS conversation, she said her pastors daughter was married to a , and she WHISPERED IT, black man. She is very racist. How 'christian' of her! She also has said everyone shouldn't get healthcare because if 'they' get it, it will take away from 'us'. WHAT? I said to her then "Well that doesn't seem very christian", and then she back-tracked.
I don't think she knows we're Atheists and I KNOW she doesn't know my daughter is bi-sexual or she would just die! I know they already wonder how such heathens raised two great young-adults.
I am NOT keeping my mouth shut anymore. Anything racist or stupid-religious (like when she said'god' sends the tsunamis because he's mad, etc. I am going to be very ladylike, but firm in saying that that is AWFUL. I will not just change the subject to avoid controversy with a neighbor that is literally a few feet from our house.
Thanks for letting me rant!
Booklover, I work with senior citizens so once in awhile I get a client who comments about Obama being a socialist (ooh...the best was a lady claiming FDR was a socialist...I'm pretty sure she was collecting social security). The worst was I had some overbearing non-Jewish yenta who wouldn't stop trying to convert me to Christianity, believed Obama was a Muslim, foreign born, etc. Nowadays I'll just say I don't talk about politics. (Which is not exactly true...with my regular client, a lifelong republican who likes Obama, we talk politics all the time!)
The good part that I can take from having clients, or neighbors like this, is seeing the humanity of people who think very differently from me. If people still treat each other like neighbors even if they have very different politics, this is a good thing. If politics is an argument about the best way to live, by treating each other badly for different views, it's making quality of life worse. (Of course, there are some ideas about how to live that I just can't tolerate.)
Prog Rock Girl, along the same line, my son (almost 18) took our 93 year old neighbor to the hairdressers. While they were waiting, out of the blue, she said to him "So what do you think of black people?"! After he got over the shock he said "I don't really think anything. I just judge people by the kind of people they are, not what color their skin is." Our neighbor sat there a while and then just said "Well that's good." What a question!!!!~ Melinda
My wife and I have experienced similar bigoted remarks form friends and family who consider themselves christian's and since they have no problem espousing their opinions we intern give ours. When we confront them with their bigoted remarks they either deny they are or get angry (for being called out). After these confrontations two things happen, either they don't bring up the subjects anymore or they stop associating with us. We haven't changed their minds but at least we have let them know what's on ours.
Good on you and your wife John! I love that you don't let people get away with that crap!~Melinda
Okay, this just happened to me. I just got back from taking my next door neighbor to the doctor. He is 88, can't drive anymore, so I help him. His 50 y.o. MR daughter lives with him, so I help with her too. No big deal, I seem to get much more out of it than they do. Anyway, coming back from the doctor, the maid/helper he and his family hired to help out around the house just told him today she was quitting. Only been working for him 3 weeks. The reason? She found out I was an atheist, and could't be around someone like me. He has known for a few years, and has never treated me with anything but friendship.
I was kinda speechless for a moment. Before I could say anything, he placed his hand on my arm and said, don't worry, that is her problem, not ours. We are fine. I can get somebody else. All I could say was thank you. Then he said, no, thank you for all you do for us.
So, dumb just comes from all places. But so does understanding. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest, guys. Be well, my friends.
great story Tony. thanks for sharing.
Wow Tony! She couldn't be around someone like you? Like nice and smart and rational?! lol. What a nice man he is though! Glad you could get this off your chest and sorry you had to go through it! Your friend, Melinda
Yes Melinda, he is a nice man. I'm so glad he is my friend. I truly get so much more out of helping him than he gives me in return. Though I've heard from others he feels the same way, that he gets much more out of our relationship. Thanks for your thoughts, and tell your daughter congrats. We all will be looking to hear from you.
Let me see if I got this right. A religious person, working for pay, walks out the door leaving an 88 year old gentleman and his developmentally disabled daughter to fend for themselves because a friend of the family doesn't buy her brand of superstition. On the other hand, the atheist who helps the family does it based on simple human decency. Multiple choice question.
Which of the four proudly claims to have morality based on a belief in bronze aged superstition?
And, to take nothing away from you, Tony, but your neighbor sounds like he's a class act!
Pat, he is. I am kinda loathe to say this, as it seems like bragging, but I do multiple things for him. I go shopping for him, go pay his bills, to the post office. I also check in on him daily, more than once daily (when I'm not at work), do minor chores for him around the house, take his daughter places. And me and Ann go to dinner/lunch a couple times a week, as I enjoy her company. Sweet person. I'm not trying to brag, it's just who I am. Do for some other people too. You truly, truly, are repayed when you do what is right. Don't need no damn book to get morals from. Its just a natural extension of our common humanity, or should be, as I see it. Thanks, my friend. Be well in all things.
Tony, you're not bragging. And, you're right about being re-payed. I've a got a law partner who occasionally rolls his eyes at me. While he's settling million dollar estates, I'm the one in the office representing minor children from abused homes and warring parents. I figure they don't have a lobby, can't make political contributions, can't influence legislation, have no special interest groups on their behalf, and can't put up a retainer. Though I once had a 12 year old girl offer me the entirety of her savings - $15.00 - to take her case. I did it for free and ended up convincing the prosecutor to put her abusive step-father in prison. But, they have no one else to speak for them. Turns out they're the best clients any lawyer could ever hope to get. And, doing what's right for them is good enough reward, in and of itself. Take care, and give my best you're neighbor and his daughter.

Cops to Congress: We need logs of Americans' text messages
AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and other wireless providers would be required to record and store information about Americans' private text messages for at least two years, according to a proposal that police have submitted to the U.S. Congress.
CNET has learned a constellation of law enforcement groups has asked the U.S. Senate to require that wireless companies retain that information, warning that the lack of a current federal requirement "can hinder law enforcement investigations."
They want an SMS retention requirement to be "considered" during congressional discussions over updating a 1986 privacy law … Read more

Math mania for 4th and 5th grade
Mission Statement: We will invite community members into the school to inspire a passion for math in elementary students by working in small groups on hands on math projects, math games and multi- step problems. Activities will stress creative problem solving and strategy, with the primary purpose of increasing out of the box thinking and risk taking.
Math Mania
Description of project or program
This grant will be used to start an after school math club, Math Mania, to enhance the fourth and fifth grade math curriculum at St. Mark Catholic School. The club will be organized primarily by the LEAP (Learning Enrichment Academic Program) teacher. The LEAP teacher currently teaches higher level problem solving strategies in a pull out math program for students who have tested out of the regular math curriculum. Math Mania will have similar higher level problem solving activities but will be available to all fourth and fifth grade students at the school.
We will invite parent volunteers and teens from the local high school math club into the school to inspire a passion for math in elementary students by working in small groups on hands on math projects, math games and multi- step problems. Activities will stress creative problem solving and strategy, with the primary purpose of increasing out of the box thinking and risk taking.
Learning Objectives:
Improving math computation and increasing communication are two identified goals of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) review. The math club will assist the school in reaching these goals by introducing higher level problem solving skills to all fourth and fifth grade students in a fun and educational forum run by parent and community volunteers.
The club's curriculum would be provided by the LEAP teacher who is certified in Special Education and pursuing both an add-on license in gifted education and also a Masters Degree in Gifted Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The small groups, or centers, would be led by volunteers. The organization of the club would be shared equally by the parent volunteers, teen volunteers and the LEAP teacher. The purpose of this sharing responsibility is to draw parents into the school to be a part of improving their children's math education on site.
The School Improvement Plan (SIP) which was put into place in School Year 2005/2006 includes a specific plan to improve student math computation scores on Iowa Test of Basic Skills by 2 percentage points. Although all of the average test scores for the students at St. Mark Catholic School are well above average, the math computation scores consistently lag slightly behind the school average for other math skills.
A math club would be beneficial to the students by adding an additional 45 minutes of hands on, supervised math practice to their current curriculum time every week. Within each of the small centers, the students will focus on honing a single particular skill. With each skill some sort of basic calculations are involved, as well as direct instruction on problem solving strategies. Both mental math and written computation on white boards will be necessary to complete all of the activities.
The extra math practice will be offered within the context of games and hands on activities that promote curiosity and risk taking. Because the number of students at each of the centers is relatively small, there is ample adult support for students of all ability levels. The underlying message will be that problem solving can be fun as well as challenging, with no risk taking since the members of the small groups will be working together to solve problems..
Population served
There are 180 fourth and fifth graders at St. Mark Catholic School. The proposed program will be open to all students in these two grades. These two grades were chosen because presently there is a pull out program for fourth and fifth graders who are identified by pre-tests as above grade level in math, and we want to offer the same higher level problem solving skills to all students, regardless of math ability.
Overall Goals and Objectives
Financial support will assure that the appropriate materials will be available for reaching all kinds of learning styles. There will be white boards with markers, colorful board games, bingo cards, manipulatives for math computation, small prizes, and snacks for after school volunteers. The purpose of these extra materials is to utilize novelty and games to motivate students and make learning new math skills fun. There will be no worksheets. All computation will be completed on white boards with colored EXPO markers and miniature student size white board erasers.
Providing a risk free forum to have fun and socialize with friends while practicing math skills will give students more practice and more skills in a casual unstructured atmosphere.
Inviting parent volunteers will give parents a chance to come into the school and participate in the on site education process.
Inviting high school teen community volunteers from the Mallard Creek Honors Math Club (Mu Alpha Theta) will provide positive mentors for students, who will hopefully perceive math as a "cool" subject. The club will also provide the high school students with community service points. Math tutoring is a requirement for high school and college participants in Mu Alpha Theta.
Project Evaluation – Measure of Success
Number of participants
Number of volunteers
Drawing equal numbers of boys and girls
Mid year and end of year surveys
Feedback from students
Program Retention
Once this program is under way we will document the progress of the club, what materials we used, and how the centers worked best so that this club can be implemented at other schools. At this level, our program is less competitive because these are elementary age children, and the purpose is to instill a love of mathematics. However, we hope that the students who come to the math club in fourth and fifth grade will continue their interest into middle school. Starting in sixth grade they can join a national club called Math Counts where student teams from each school compete on the county level, and winning teams go up to compete in the state finals.
Budget: $1,000
1. Board games - Equate, Math Bingo, Blokus, What's the Point?, "24" game, http://www.educationallearninggames.com/math-games.asp 2. Math manipulatives – 3D geometric shapes for volume, reflection mirror lab, fraction bars. 3. Origami paper
$500 |
Small Prizes for students, treats for volunteers lollipops for bingo game rewards for the students, pastries and drinks for the high school volunteers coming after school. |
$150 |
End of year party – pizza and cake |
$100 |
Field trip to Math Counts final competition |
$250 |
Mission Statement: We will invite community members into the school to inspire a passion for math in elementary students by working in small groups on hands on math projects, math games and multi- step problems. Activities will stress creative problem solving and strategy, with the primary purpose of increasing out of the box thinking and risk taking.
There are six specific themes in conducting this math club that follow research based practice: (1) using hands on manipulatives, (2)increasing motivation by using games to stress math concepts, (3) small group instruction, (4) math mentoring, (5) risk free learning (no testing), (6) and peer tutoring.
Hands on Manipulatives
Although there are many different learning styles and ability levels that students bring into the classroom, all students can benefit from learning a math concept by seeing and touching objects that represent numbers and concepts. For example, Hands on Equations, created by Borenson and Associates, Inc. is a game with colorful pieces and dice that represent the parts of algebra equations, and goes from very simple levels to very complex. Students as young as third grade can easily grasp the rules of the game and go at their own pace. These simple manipulatives make it possible for very young students to be exposed to complex problem solving strategies that they will re-encounter in middle school.
Increasing motivation can not stand alone as a theme in increasing math skills because it is interrelated with so many other factors. But in writing the mission statement of the club, we felt that it was important to recognize that some students feel that the lecture/workbook process of teaching math is not enough to stimulate real interest and curiosity, and that the overall purpose of the club was to improve motivation so that students will willingly take time to practice math skills willingly. Very simply, we wanted to instill excitement about math. From this concept, we developed specific ways in which we felt students would perceive math as fun, including adding social features such as spending time with friends and enjoying the attention of older high school students.
Small group instruction
The nature of the LEAP teacher's job entails that she pulls out small groups of gifted students from their math classroom to do higher level activities in a separate settings. Although the nature of the activities for these gifted students was certainly a factor in keeping the challenged, an unexpected positive result also came from putting students in a small setting where they can explore ideas in a group. Because of the small numbers, we could relax the normal protocol of the classroom setting, by allowing a certain amount of uncontrolled discussion among the students. Students became better problem solvers when they were working in groups, feeding off each other's strengths, and helping to minimize individual weaknesses.
We decided to incorporate the small group instruction facet for this very reason. We wanted the lower performing students to have a chance to work with higher level students and listen to them "think out loud". A natural order of peer tutoring developed, with the students who understood difficult concepts explaining their thinking out loud, and modeling good problem solving strategies. The drawback to small groups is that there was much effort that went into making sure there were enough volunteers available to work with each group. This was solved by the next big concept: Math mentoring.
Math Mentoring
Students who join the math club in high school, Mu Alpha Theta, are required to perform a certain number of hours of community service. Usually, the students are assigned to work in low performing high schools or middle, otherwise designated as their sister schools. However, they are free to tutor anywhere they choose as long as it is documented that they are tutoring in some capacity in the area of math. We took advantage of the community service requirement by offering our math club as an opportunity to help elementary students. The high school students are screened and trained. We will make sure that there is always an adult in the room when the high school students are volunteering, and enforced a no contact rule. High school students are not allowed to baby-sit or tutor the math club students, or contact them directly in any way.
Risk Free Learning Environment
Math test anxiety is a common complaint that is well documented as a real detriment to learning success. There are no worksheets in the math club, no graded work, and no documentation of right and wrong answers. Students are encouraged to work in groups and help each other. Students who need extra support are discretely paired with teen volunteers, or placed in groups with other students who can peer mentor.
Although some of the games entail winning and losing, the playing field is leveled when all the students are working together on tough problems. For example, in the Equate game, students are required to make a problem with their seven tiles. After a certain amount of time, the student turns the tiles to his friends and they all work on making a play. The competitive nature of the students who are good at math helps in this case; they want to make a good play even though the points are for another player.
Peer Tutoring
Within each group, there will be various levels of math ability. We decided to capitalize on this natural variation by making each project a group project, and lessening the competitive nature of the games by rearranging some rules. Students are encouraged to work together to find answers, and taught to help their neighbors without giving simply answers. Volunteers are strategically placed so that there is one adult guiding the activity, and one adult helping students who need extra help. There is concept of testing, so therefore no concept of cheating. Students are encouraged to check their answers with their peers, and discuss discrepancies.

Greeting its March 17th 2012. So Happy St. Patricks Day to you all! And I hope all you green thumbs are ready for planting in the spring. I know I am. Getting ready to cultivate my garden. It also has been good weather this week here in New Mexico, its been like 72-75 Degrees here, and awesome. Anyway I finally took some pictures of my Washingtonia Robustas. They have survived the winter and were kept inside the whole time. They turned 6 months on the 11th of March. So here they are.
Follow-Up Postings:

Nice Kelly. I have a a w. filifera about the same size as the one in your first pic. It grew slowly over the winter but I think it is picking up speed now that my little greenhouse is heating up. BTW what kinda of soil do you havre there in those pots? |
- Posted by kaotickelly NM 5b (My Page) on Sun, Mar 18, 12 at 1:23
Wow thats awesome Earthworm73... Well the soil is from out back yard. Its our own organic Soil from years of wood chips from our fire wood that accumulated. That i Sifted on my own to make a soil type. I always mix it with potting soil and the fine wood chip soil it make a great water retainer. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Sun, Mar 18, 12 at 2:49
They look good! Definitely growing just like they would in their native enviorment! Cant wait to see them get even taller! It will probably need a new pot by this time next year, maybe sooner! The weather has been nice here too, but the influence of the ocean has kept things cooler here during the day then inland (where it has been in the 70s and 80s!). Already getting tons of things ready. Planted some bulbs and as you saw, took lots of plants outside too (even more now than in my last update). Hoping we dont have a freeze, thats my biggest concern right now, but the forecast looks good right up to the end of March! Thanks for sharing! I tried Filifera seeds once but never got a spout so I always like seeing people having success with palms from seeds since I never can! |
- Posted by earthworm73 WA z8 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 18, 12 at 13:12
Alex I got my filifera seeds from a source in Dallas. I had a low percent of germination but I don't know how old the seeds were. But the one I kept is very vigorous. It was the very first one to sprout and is the fastest growing. It seems to grow even if the temps are somewhat cool which is a good thing for up here. I can't wait to see what it look like at the end of the growing season. |
- Posted by kaotickelly NM 5b (My Page) on Sun, Mar 18, 12 at 16:27
Hey thanks alex... Yeah i plant to get some flower bulbs too. Im excited for spring to come around im tired of this winter weather, its so weird here the weather is so bipolar. Yesterday was sunny and like 67 degrees and now i woke up to it snowing like a blizzard weird weather. LOL oh an alex yeah your yard looks awesome. Where are you at again? And as for filifera goes I wanted to plant those but people have been telling me that they are slow growers. But im happy with my W. Robustas. Cant wait for them to Grow even more taller and faster. Do you think i should give them Fertilizer or mirical grow? or is it too soon? Well good day to you all. |

How many words per page are there in a typical published manuscript when it is printed. I'm trying to figure out how long my story is and I'm not sure about font size, spacing, etc. Words per page seems like the easiest way to calculate it. Also, if there is one correct format in terms of spacing after paragraphs I would like to know. Also for dialogue. I know you are supposed to put the dialogue down to the next line when a new person is speaking. Is that supposed to be indented the same as a paragraph each time. Is there a simple way to set this all up correctly in word so I'll actually know what it's supposed to look like when I eventually send it out. Sorry for the stupid question. I've been looking over all the books I have and they all seem different. I want to know if there is some sort of standard. :confused:

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question, but maybe someone can advise me. Is a room air cleaner effective at cleaning the air? Is there any brand that one would reccomend over another?
Thanks in advance. |

My gut reaction is that they don't work particularly well. If you have a forced air heating or cooling system, you might want to consider some kind of high efficiency filtration. |
Thanks for your response. |
Most electronic air cleaners were originally developed to remove combustion soot and other carbon based particles degrading the performance of high voltage components associated with military systems. Getting them to work effectively was very messy and labor intensive. If you are interested in keeping a small room clean and are a bit handy, there is a way but it isn't cheap. You will need a Seville brand or similar tower style fan, a pair of aviation style snips, and a supply of expensive 3M Filtrete electostatic filter panels. You remove the metal support grid from the intake (outside) side of the filter (cutting, pulling, bleeding, and cutting) and and then bend and strap the whole filter around the tower covering the tower fan air intake holes. You would be surprised how quickly that portion of the filter darkens in a city environment. Then after several months it is time to cut off the dirty section and reinstall. Three to six filter panels a year, cost for them maybe $40 to $100? Check into HEPA filter machines as well but adequate airflow and velocity can be a problem. |
I have an air purifier and it works pretty well. Along with the basic odor eliminating air fresheners |

"This is now my go-to meatball recipe. I've created very good meatballs that I culled from different recipes but unable to remember how to replicate them and I've made meatballs from fancy recipes that turned out quite bland. These are so simple and easy, yet so tasty. Honestly, did not expect much, but very pleasantly surprised. I mad..."
"Delicious! I made this for an Oscar Night dinner and grilled up some sausages to go along with it. Me & the hubs were impressed! As I was making it, I realized I forgot the fresh basil!! Panic ensued but, luckily, I had some dried and after a little "googling" worked out the equivalent. Worked fine, but would have preferred the fresh. So easy an..."
"Not a wow factor for us, but still plenty good and enjoyable. Will definitely make again. I didn't pound my chicken breast, either, and I'm with another post to try it with a different salsa. I highly recommend you use a salsa you know you like that fits your tastes. I reheated the leftovers the next night and it was still good. Easy, too! Th..."
"I've made this twice now, the last time doubling it for a Christmas Eve get-together. I use petite diced tomatoes and adjust sugar/red pepper to our tastes. I pair it with Basic Meatballs recipe #8060. It's all just so incredibly easy and delicious. Even my husband, who thinks "real" spaghetti sauce only comes in a jar, kept commenting on how ..."
"Delicious! Easy to make, very tasty and my husband and I did not find it too salty at all. I made as directed using regular baking potatoes rather than red. For our tastes, next time I will add green onions, maybe a little garlic and reduce the potatoes by 1/2 lbs. This is a keeper and will keep it in rotation. Thanks for posting."
"I've made this twice now and think it's pretty good! Made as directed both times, using fresh Rosemary for dried. The smell that radiates through the house is wonderful! My husband, however, isn't particularly wild about chicken or any meat still attached to the bone. Unfortunately, since it's just the two of us, I probably won't make it again..."
"Wow! Delicious and so E-Z, too! I used 3 chicken breasts and fresh dill rather than dried, but everything else the same. As someone else suggested, I, too, covered the pan while the breasts finished cooking. Even my hubby, who gets bored pretty quickly with most chicken breast recipes really liked it. This is definitely a winner & a keeper. ..."
"I made for Christmas Eve dinner and they were a hit. I discovered as I was preparing them that one of my guests was allergic to Rosemary so had to omit, but will certainly add the next time. I did not dollop the top either, but prepared all else as written. Delicious and will make again."
"This was delicious! I used pre-shredded Velveeta and it worked very nicely. I did not include breadcrumbs but other than that everything the same. It makes a lot but could be easily halved, which I would do next time. But I agree, it's a great go-to mac & cheese recipe."
"This is delicious! Hubby's been working late so thought I'd look for a casserole recipe to last us a couple of nights. This one popped out at me and so glad I tried it. I used an Arrabiatta (sp?) spaghetti sauce and added mushrooms & a little garlic (because that's just who I am). We definitely have a keeper and it's easy, too!"

In "Riddle and Mystery," a Tapestry of Faith program
Participants present a WCUU broadcast involving six On-Air People—an Anchor, a NUUs Analyst and four UU Panelists—and as many UU Choristers as you want to perform a hymn.
The Studio Crew might include a director, a floor director, a camera operator, a sound engineer, a lighting director, a script supervisor and multiple production assistants.
This broadcast has three segments. The first has the Anchor and four UU Panelists chatting on camera, the second features the UU Choristers and the third has the Anchor and the NUUs Analyst. Assign roles, using volunteers for On-Air People and Studio Crew. You might invite the Kid for the Day to be the Anchor. The Choristers can include everyone except the Studio Crew needed to record the show. The Anchor and the four UU Panelists can easily join the Choristers.
Prepare the UU Choristers to present the song "When I Am Frightened," Hymn 1012 in Singing the Journey, in the second segment.
Give participants who need to follow the script a moment to look it over. Review it with them if you have participants with limited reading skills.
Tell the group when the show should end to keep the session on schedule; assign a Studio Crew member (director or floor director) to watch the time.
Begin the broadcast.
At the end of the broadcast, ask participants how it went. Ask them to summarize how typical Unitarian Universalists respond to today's Big Question: "Why do bad things happen?" Do they think non-UUs would understand Unitarian Universalism better after seeing this WCUU show?
Lead a discussion about the words of the hymn, using these questions:
Relate the hymn to the story of Job: Though we cannot control everything that happens to us, we can control our responses when bad things happen to us and to others.

What do you hold dear?
This question could serve as a fine conversation starter for a spiritual direction session. As a mentor for spiritual directors in training, I find that associate spiritual directors often struggle with the issue of what questions to ask as they begin formal spiritual companionship with others.
I believe it's a question of reverence. When we are aware of what we revere, what or whom we are in awe of, what we respect enough to bow down to, then we step into the arena of the Holy. When we know what another person holds dear, we can be present with them in a wholehearted way.
Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev said, "God created the world by imagination." I am very aware of this as I admire the mountains adorned with fresh snow and the pale pink glow of a winter dawn. His words enliven me as I explore the myriad of creative shapes, sizes, colours, and textures of my garden. God's incredible imagination creates an ever-changing world fresh with new and awe inspiring discoveries. Yet somehow our faith practices deaden our imaginations and stifle our creativity.
A friend of mine recently became her granddaughter's guardian. She shared,
Several months after I'd stopped seeing my first spiritual director because he'd been transferred to a different parish, I saw that he'd be giving a talk on Catholic understandings of homosexuality. Since I knew I wasn't his only gay spiritual directee—in fact, he'd been recommended to me by another gay Catholic who, like me, was trying to live in accordance with Catholic teaching—I was excited to hear his perspective.
I ended up sharply disappointed in the talk. I thought it relied on stereotypes, bad research, and unconvincing applications of natural law. I didn't learn much about homosexuality that day. But I learned a lot about spiritual direction.
Shortly after the sun dropped behind the mountains, I set out westward on the trail around McIntosh Lake, huddled in my coat and gloves, walking into nightfall. As the sky darkened, I noticed my shadow stretching out subtly before me. Turning round to see where the light was coming from, I beheld the moon rising in the east, nearly full, bright as a headlamp. It stunned me with its familiar yet mysterious beauty.For a moment, I was transfixed by the primordial sensation of being completely at home in the world, breathing in the out-breath of plants, the precious air. Just another animal shivering beneath the moon. Inhabiting again the natural habitat of the human body, mind, and spirit—the religion and poetry of nature.
Contemplative experience is profoundly personal. Contemplative practice is about entering an inner vulnerability that may mysteriously reveal a sense of transcendent wholeness.
Each contemplative experience is a becoming: moving into quiet through the immediacy of reflection, beyond meditation, toward a peace freed from pre-occupations of pragmatic understanding. Your mind becomes free from distractions that all too easily dominate daily living. The outcome of contemplative experience will likely be nothing less than sheer wonder—a sense of becoming wholly present within a Holy Presence.
Wonder. This time of year we are apt to use the phrase, "sense of wonder." In a capital "W" sense, not like, "I wonder about this and I wonder about that." Wonder is something ineffable, something more. As adults, we often struggle with the loss of that sense of Wonder. We struggle to encounter the beginner's mind, the child's uncluttered engagement; the unfettered awe at all things bright and beautiful, all things great and small. We long to get back to the garden.
A lightning bolt of searing pain traveled from my head into my neck, then all the way down to my toes. I saw a bright light. Was this the bright light people talk about? People talk about before they … I think I passed out.
It was 1999. After what seemed to be a minor car accident, I continued to experience pain. Diagnosed as having a hyper-extension of the neck—whiplash—my doctor recommended analgesics and hot/cold packs. After many months, I sought comfort from a registered chiropractor. The pain I described above followed a series of neck manipulations.
Patience is difficult.
This week, I wait for my son to return home from college for the holidays. I wait with a tender eagerness I could not have imagined as a pregnant woman twenty years ago. My pregnancy had been a season of bliss—until it wasn't. I was heavy and tired, and he was two weeks late. I wanted to "get on with it," little knowing that parenting is more like writing an epic poem than it is a set of tidy tasks to be accomplished.
Both parenting and a writing life dedicated to the work of the creative, have taught me most of what I know about patience. As a writer, I know that to rush inspiration is tantamount to killing it. As a parent, I've learned that to hurry a child past the point of actual development is profoundly wounding.
And yet.
As I have journeyed through the past years in San Francisco, I have come to see my life as a pilgrimage. For me, I am following Jesus into Galilee.
Each day as I walk the streets, I am on pilgrimage. I am on a journey with "Joker," the twenty-year-old drug user and sex worker who was kicked out of his home because he was gay. I am on pilgrimage with the transgender friends who work Polk Street making money to survive and pay for their hormones. I am journeying with those who are very comfortable materially, but are so empty spiritually.
Each year I meet five or six hundred new people, and I walk with them for a part of their journey. Novelist and poet Michael Ondaatje expressed it well:

Religious Studies
Browse Majors & Minors
Featured Course:
Women, Gender, & Religion
What do religions teach about women, and how do women experience religions?
What is the academic study of religion?
To seek an understanding of religion is to try to understand the complex ways that people imagine themselves, organize their worlds, and relate to the "sacred" or the "other" – including human beings, divine beings, and non-human beings.
Religion can be viewed in terms of prayers, texts, communities, and rituals, but it can also be about money, power, the environment, family, or gender.
Religions thus lend themselves to multiple methods of inquiry – from humane studies like theology, history, anthropology, and literary criticism, to scientific studies like sociology, economics, psychology, and even evolutionary biology.
At Alma College, the study of religion includes a diversity of voices and perspectives. Our conversations are enriched by "insiders" – who may be well-informed or devout religious practitioners – as well as "outsiders" – including atheists, agnostics, or religious people who are studying religions other than their own. We make no assumptions about our students' religious commitments or past experiences; our only requirement is that students enter conversations fully, inquisitively, and respectfully.

Since the 1970s, the state has leaned toward hiring nonprofits to deliver health and social services on behalf of state and local jurisdictions, according to Henry Bogdan, public policy head of the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations. Services range from community health centers and domestic violence programs, to job training and child care.
Bogdan said the current procurement process is too complex. He cited ongoing concerns among the nonprofits, many of which are small organizations with limited resources and personnel. "You are using staff time at the provider level and at the state agency level," he said.
On Oct. 7, the Urban Institute's Center for Nonprofits and Philanthropy, in collaboration with the National Council of Nonprofits, issued a national survey on procurement. The study showed that procurement problems are widespread across the country.
That same day, the National Council of Nonprofits issued its own related report, which called the state and federal contracting systems "archaic" and characterized procurement issues as "a silent national crisis."
In a state-by-state comparison in the National Council of Nonprofits report, Maryland ranked 32nd worst in the complexity of reporting requirements for state contracts.

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 Sissy!
Facts about Sissy
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Sissy's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Missy is a very sweet little girl, and very shy, Missy and Sissy came from California and are not used to the weather up here yet. Missy is spayed. Likes to curl up in a ball in her bed and sleep. Would make a great little lap dog. Likes to go outside when the weather is warm. She is not potty trained but will use a potty pad. Although she is still a little frightened and not sure of things she is coming along fast. If you would like to meet Missy, please fill out a statement of interest form @ www.alternativehumanesociety.com (under the ADOPT menu).
Other Pets at Alternative Humane Society of Whatcom County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sissy, a Bellingham Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Bellingham, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Bellingham.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bellingham 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 Bellingham 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bellingham paves the way for another one to be saved.

Follow-Up Postings:
Every Springer I've ever known has a docked tail. A docked tail is also part of the AKC breed standard for the English Springer Spaniel. |
Here is a link that might be useful: English Springer Spaniel AKC breed standard
That looks like the dog except the dog has brown spots instead of the brown pattern shown in the pictures |

Perhaps a Brittany Spaniel, then. |

N3V Games dropped Dead on Arrival 2 in the Play Store last week, but they made the game exclusively available in their native Australia and neighbor New Zealand. They announced that they would roll the game out globally on September 23rd, and while it may now be two days later, we can't blame them for giving their peeps a few extra days of exclusive playtime. Still, that time's up, so everyone else can now pick up their trusty firearm of choice.
The inevitable Zombie apocalypse has begun again, but for the time being, the outbreak is quarantined to Australia and New Zealand. Developers N3V Games are proud to work Down Under and are giving gamers in both countries a week of exclusive quality time with the title before launching the game elsewhere on September 23. In the meantime, Dead on Arrival 2 is available for all to see in the Play Store.
You're cruising the skies in a helicopter, when tragedy strikes. The chopper goes down and everyone dies. Literally, everyone. Except you. You awake in a new world. A world filled with the undead... and they're everywhere. There's nothing to do but run. For your life.
That's essentially the tone set for Into the Dead, a new first-person endless runner that just hit the Play Store. The game is quite popular on the iOS side of things, and for good reason – it looks amazing.
Yesterday, we got an eyeful of NVIDIA's new Tegra 4 and Tegra 4i, along with the Phoenix, NVIDIA's nifty reference device. The benchmarks were quite impressive compared to current-generation processors, but all we got to see in terms of gaming performance was a brief demo of Real Boxing.
In a video posted today to NVIDIA's YouTube channel, the chip maker shows off a "Tegra 4 enhanced Zombie Driver," side by side with the same game running on a "non-Tegra 4" device.
Before now, I thought that zombies had been added to every conceivable genre with the possible exception of farm implement simulator, and that's only a matter of time. But surprisingly, adding undead minions to a game that millions of office workers use to cling to sanity turns out to be fairly interesting. Despite the title, zombies don't replace mines in Zombie Minesweeper, they just add to the explosive fun. Check out the trailer below.
Minecraft - Pocket Edition may have one of the slowest development timelines around. Of course, the main reason we accept this almost Valve-ian wait is because every time we do get an update, it brings awesome stuff like friggin' Zombie Pigmen. Oh yeah, and the Nether Reactor that summons them, which is exclusive to the Pocket Edition. Heck yes.
The update also brings a few other new features, like paintings and mushroom farming.
There's no such thing as too many zombies, right? That seems to have been Glu Mobile's general idea when bringing Call of Duty: Black Ops – Zombies (or CODBOZ) to Android. The game, which itself is based on a spin-off of the original Call of Duty series, puts CoD players in familiar territory with a seemingly endless stream of zombies to eliminate in a game spanning not only multiple environments, but multiple gameplay modes as well.
The Men Who Wear Many Hats may have struck undead gold with their debut entry into Google's Play Store. Organ Trail is pretty much what it sounds like – a take on the classic nostalgia-fest that is the Oregon Trail, but with zombies, bandits, and an upgradeable station wagon. The game, which started on the web, hit Android recently, delivering the same epic experience players of the original would expect.
Once in a while, an Angry Birds or Temple Run comes along in the mobile gaming sphere. Games that are able to hook you with their simple but endlessly entertaining mechanics, and an ability to immediately "dive in" to the game at any time, even if for just 5 minutes (or 3 hours).
The problem with those games is that they're generally aimed at an audience that has never played video games, or has but doesn't actually love them.
Glu Mobile (makers of Bonsai Blast and a slew of other games) has treated Android users to another gem, combining powerful samurai, devilish zombies, and a stylized, adorable art style to make Samurai vs Zombies Defense.
Samurai vs Zombies is reminiscent of tower defense-style games, centering each level around defending a gate. Instead of simply setting up turrets and guns, however, SvZ allows players to go mobile, running toward packs of zombies and attacking them with typical sword swipes or special powerups.

Does anyone grown creeping phlox in this climate? I know it blooms in the Spring, but what does it look like the rest of the year? Does the foliage it die back in freezing temperatures or is it mostly evergreen? I'm trying to naturalize a small area and was wondering if this might be a good choice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's evergreen. it makes a needly-looking mat. Very neat and clean. It would make a good ground cover, esp if you underplanted with some small fall and summer blooming bulbs to liven things up when it isn't blooming. |
- Posted by puppyscruff 7/NC (My Page) on Thu, Nov 19, 09 at 11:37
The big boxes like Lowes will have a huge array of ground phlox in the early spring. It spreads nicely here in full to part sun, but it doesn't like to be shaded too much by other plants. This has been my experience, but I do not have full, full sun anywhere. |
I agree with puppyscruff. I mostly have part sun and it does fine, but it will lose it's leaves and die out in that spot if it gets overshadowed by bigger plants for too long. It roots as it goes, so it just keeps on growing in the spots it likes. So if you did plant bulbs make sure they are small stuff that won't overshadow it- like fall crocus or stuff like that. |

Our shower is almost finished, but the rest of the bathroom won't be attacked for a couple of years. Our long-term plan is to install a solid piece of granite on the top portion of our shower curb. But, we don't want to do this until granite tops are picked out for the sinks which will be in a couple of years.
In the meantime, what could we install as the top portion of the shower curb? And, how would we attach this to the curb? I would like the material to be inexpensive and easily removable so as not to damage the curb at time of removal. Any ideas? Below is a photo showing a piece of solid material on top of a curb. By the way, we will not have a door or glass on top of the curb -- it is a doorless shower. |
Follow-Up Postings:
A piece of marble is not outrageous. How about buying one (or two shorter ones) off-the-shelf and installing it (set it in thinset for safety), then caulk the edges? Tilt it inward a bit when you set it. Or maybe go to a tile shop and ask for one that's damaged or discontinued for a cheaper price. Or paint it with Mapei aquadefense and leave it alone. |
My concern with a piece of stone adhered with thinset is that the removal of the stone in the future will cause some damage. I like the idea of a waterproofing membrane. I have some leftover Hydroban. Not sure if it will work as a waterproofing barrier for a couple of years without any tile on top of it. I will contact Laticrete to find out. |
- Posted by bill_vincent (email@example.com) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 23:24
one thing about the Hydroban-- if, when pulling the temporary curb, you damage the memnbrane, you can paint some more hydroban on it, and you're just as good as new. |
Bill, Any thoughts on whether Hydroban left exposed on the top of the curb will work for a couple of years? If exposed Hydroban won't work, could I get away with installing a cheap solid piece using silicone or something like silicone that would make removal easier? More than pulling off the hydroban, I'm worried that large chunks of thinset and maybe even the vertical portions of the curb I want to keep will come out at the time of removal. |

In order for this product to take effect, you have to dye your hair blonde then apply the red...Red wont stick to dark hair.. and leave a decent effect! If you do this right..it turns out gorgeous
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm always on the lookout for red hair color. I'm Chinese with thick and pitch black hair which doesn't absorb color well so most vibrant colors on the package ends up hardly showing on my hair except for a slight red tinge visible only in sunlight. Kinda disappointing considering the time it takes to do the color! Anyway, I saw the new Pure Red range and it looked promising. It SUCKS!!! the orange dye stained EVERYTHING from my scalp to my skin to my fingers - looks like it colored everything except my hair!! This is the first hair color kit to do this, I'm truly disappointed.

Ohio has received a waiver to eliminate double testing in elementary and middle schools.
Summer is a bare-it-all season of sleeveless tops, shorts and bathing suits, so what better time than now to talk with youth about their body image.
Body Image is the way individuals think and feel about their own body, as well as how they perceive others to think and feel about their appearance. Heavily influenced by family, friends and media, one's body image can be positive or negative.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a checklist that teachers could use to determine and impact our students' likelihood for success in school and in life? After surveying more than 4 million children from varying backgrounds and circumstances, researchers from the Search Institute have found that there is in fact a checklist of sorts, to predict success. It is called the 40 Developmental Assets ™ and it has become the most widely used approach to positive youth development in the U.S.
On June 4, the Ohio General Assembly passed the Mid-Biennium Review, which contains a variety of key education measures. This analysis, prepared by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, includes summaries of the provisions that will become law when signed by Gov. Kasich. The column "As Reported by Conference Committee" represents the version that was passed by the General Assembly June 4.
Students of all ages will be celebrating the close of the school year and the kickoff to summer. But as the novelty of summer break wears off, many youth may find themselves feeling isolated and alone, having lost the daily interactions and social connections that school provides. Such feelings can lead to unhealthy coping behaviors (including substance abuse) and increased adolescence risk for developing depression, anxiety and other mental health problems.
