Day 4, Part 4 In Which We Venture To Uncharted Territory Even though my camera was broken and we were going to have to leave Disney to buy a new one (an expense I was *not* expecting on this trip... yeeeouch), the Livin It Up had to continue. The one thing you need to know about my mom and I is that the Livin It Up will never cease for us. One of our favorite sayings is "If I don't laugh, I'll cry." Meaning: When things go wrong you just have to laugh about it because who cares. In the grand scheme of things, almost nothing is really that big a deal, so you really shouldn't waste your time being sad, upset, or frustrated. Disappointing candlelight processionals and broken cameras are really no match for us. We laugh in the face of these things and just carry on Livin It Up! I find one of the best ways to Live It Up is to eat cupcakes. I was really hoping that one of my BELOVED Safari cupcakes would finally be available! I had waited 18 months to sink my teeth into another one and I just could not wait any longer. Back at Kusafiri Bakery, I was not denied! YUM! The cupcake was EVEN BETTER than it was in 2010! The pieces of chocolate were thicker, whereas before they were more like giant chocolate shavings. Now they're just big ol' honkin pieces of DELICIOUS chocolate stuck right there in your cupcake. Oh, it was heaven! Just for comparison, this is what the Safari Cupcake I got in 2010 looked like: Oh how I love when Disney makes things even MORE magical! Btw, when I got this cupcake in 2010 it was called the Zebra Cupcake. Which made sense. But then on this trip it was called the Safari Cupcake. HOWEVER, yesterday, my friend Jess got the cupcake and it's called the Zebra Cupcake again! Make up your mind, Disney! And also: BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL MONORAIL VOICE GUY aka THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! Sigh. I ate about half of the cupcake, and put the rest away for later cause it was time to head back over to Dinoland for Finding Nemo: The Musical! I don't have many notes or pictures, so forgive me as I breeze through the rest of our time at AK... Nemo was incredible, as per usual. Sadly, my mom left her sunglasses in there, which she realized once we were pretty far away. So we ventured back to the theatre where they were prepping for the next show. A bunch of CMs helped us, but alas, the sunglasses were gone. Sheesh, we were not doing too well with personal items today! Even with my broken camera and the sun in my mom's eyes, the Livin It Up couldnot be stopped. Again, the best way to Live It Up was eating, so we got a Turkey Leg! Turkey Legs are one of those things that after I eat them I am just not thrilled with myself. They do not make you feel good. Actually, halfway through, most of the time I'm like "Am I seriously ripping meat off this giant bone? With my teeth? Smearing grease across my face? In public?" There's just no way to do it without looking like a caveman. But they're delicious! So every once in awhile, I Live It Up caveman style. Ooh, that rhymed!! I should make up a rap. AAAAAALLLL YOUUUUU sucka MCs ain't got nothin' on me.... you know what? Nevermind. It was nearing time for Mickey's Jammin' Jingle Jungle Parade, which is the same as Mickey's Plain Old Jammin' Jungle Parade, just with some decorations and a more festive soundtrack. I really enjoyed the normal parade the last time we saw it (2006), so I definitely knew we had to catch the holiday version. We grabbed some delicious cinnamon glazed pecans (YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM) from a snack cart in Harambe and sat down along the bridge. The parade was a lot of fun, but like I said, not very different from the usual one, so you aren't missing much if you don't get to see it during the holidays. However, it was really cute. My favorite Holiday addition was Naughty and Nice lists with certain characters names on them. Adorable! Here is the one cell phone pic I took. Mickey waving at me! Aww. Precious. It was so annoying not having my camera for this, usually I take a ton of pictures during parades. There was one last Festival of the Lion King for that day that we had to rush over to Camp Minnie Mickey for. We made it just in time! The rushing was worth it because as all of you know, that show is mind blowingly, overwhelmingly incredible! My mom and I ALWAYS cry. I actually prefer it to the Broadway version of the Lion King, even. It's just that good! After FOTLK, the park was about to close and so we headed out and back to Pop. Ok so if you don't care to hear about the whole LEAVING DISNEY PROPERTY ordeal of doom, just skip over this. I'm including it just in case people are curious about the whole fright enducing process, but I don't mind if you skip it! At the bottom of this update, there will be food pictures, so I understand if you would like to skip all the boring non-Disney details! I went up to the concierge and asked (just in case) if they sold digital cameras anywhere on property. The CM said no. I think this is a missed opportunity. They should really sell big obnoxious Mickey head shaped cameras. I would buy one. Gimmicky cameras are awesome. I mean, I know I'm not the only one who had a Spice Girls polaroid camera. Oh, the 90's! I asked the CM to please direct me to the nearest Target since my friend Kara (MarieTheCat24) was helping me out and said she found some cheap but decent cameras on their website (Thanks again, Kara!) The CM was very sweet and helpful, giving me a map and the address. She also told me the estimated cab fare and I was right, it was $20 each way. From reading the DIS all these years I knew Mears was the cab company to call and had written down their number, so I called them and they said a cab would be there very soon. They texted about a minute after I hung up with them saying that they had contacted dispatch and a cab was on its way. The cab arrived insanely fast, it was honestly less than 5 minutes. Our cab driver asked which Target we wanted to go to and I gave him the specific address b/c I didn't want him to trick us and act like a further away Target was the nearest one (drivers in NYC try to drive you out of your way for more money sometimes). He was very polite and even turned down his music for us, but we told him we didn't mind the music and it was fine if he played it.. I posted on Twitter: Cab driver had crazy music on and he turned it off and we were all like hey its cool, we're weird too. When we left Disney Property, I felt sick. The Target is in that area of Orlando that is super touristy and filled with signs that have giant oranges and unauthorized paintings of Mickey on them and there are too many fast food restaurants and chain hotels and I just hate it. I mean, it's fine... it's normal for a tourist area. It's not like it's terrible, it's just not anywhere I want to be. Disney is so pristine that you really forget the real world is a couple of miles away. I was annoyed and just wanted to get the whole thing over with. I posted on Twitter: I absolutely hate leaving Disney Property. Loathe. Abhor. We arrived at Target and my mom and I split up. I went straight to the camera section and she went to look for some new sunglasses. It took me less than 5 minutes to choose one, a Canon Powershot A1200. I wasn't looking for a perfect new camera, obviously I didn't have time to research, I just wanted something good yet not too expensive to hold me over for the rest of our trip. I paid for it at the electronics counter and then went to find my mom in the Women's Accessories area. She had found some cute sunglasses for only $10... gotta love Target! We then went to the drink aisle to get a pack of water, a pack of Coca Cola, and some Vitamin Water, so that we didn't have to buy them at the parks. We were going to get snacks but then I realized that eating snacks from Target would fill us up and leave less room for Disney snacks, so we quickly squashed that idea. It's allll about the Disney food, folks. I called Mears again to get a cab back to Pop and we went to check out. Once again they texted me right away after to tell me dispatch had contacted a driver who was on his way. It took about 5-10 minutes for the cab to arrive. It was another nice guy who immediately got out of the cab, opened the doors, and took our bags out of our cart and put them into the car. As we arrived back on Disney Property I screamed "YAAAY!!" and clapped and did a little dance. I can't even tell you what a relief it was to be back. I posted on Twitter: Just got back to Disney World. Thank God. I can't stand being out of the bubble. Reality has no place in my life. Overall our experience with Mears raised no complaints from me. I've heard mixed reviews in the past but both drivers arrived within minutes and were polite and helpful. I was annoyed to begin with that my camera had broken and we had to leave Disney, so it would have been easy to tick me off, but there were no problems. When we arrived back at Pop I almost kissed the ground. DISNEY, I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN! We briefly went back to the room to drop off our stuff. I got my new camera out and tested a bit before we headed back out to the busses. We were hungry for one of our FAVORITE Disney restaurants: WOLFGANG PUCK EXPRESS!!!!!! Ever since I ate here on a whim during my 2008 solo trip, it has been a must do. You know, one of those must dos that we really WANT to do! B/c, a la Stacey, not all must dos are things you really WANT to do. Or something. The point is: We always want to eat at Wolfgang Puck Express. I introduced it to my mom during my 20th birthday trip in 2010 and she also fell head over heels in love. She brings it up to me often and we always talk about how much we wish we could eat there all the time. This restaurant is categorized by Disney as counter service, but it is table service quality. Actually, it's better than some of the table service restaurants. If you haven't tried it, OH MY GOD, GO! We ordered our usual: Four Cheese Pesto Pizza with a side of Macaroni & Cheese and split both. They have changed this dish a bit and increased the size. This a side, but it is enough for one person's whole meal. My mom was in heaven at this point! I think this was one of her favorite moments of the trip. It was such a relief to be back at Disney after the little bump in the road we had, eating one of our favorite meals. We took some of the pizza back to Pop like always, we can never finish it because it's so huge. Honestly... if you have never tried this place... your next trip is the time! After this, we started acting really silly. We were so tired and stuffed. My mom was being especially hilarious. She kept telling me to take her picture in front of various stores. She would get all giddy and giggly and pose like an overexcited child about to meet Mickey. I wish I could show you the pics, but she would kill me. It was too funny. I was cracking up. I love that I have a mom who can get silly like this and pose for stupid pictures and crack up laughing at nothing and basically just act like a moron with me. My mom decided she wanted Ghiradelli for dessert. I was too stuffed but she got a chocolate cone, her favorite. She said it was delicious, as usual. I definitely have to try something here next time. I was never crazy about it, but lately getting a bar of Ghiradelli chocolate has become a thing for me. It's my new vice. Like any time I'm really tired and still have a long day ahead of me I go get one and OH GOD IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! After wandering around for awhile, we headed back to Pop Century and actually got to bed at a reasonable time. I didn't even watch that many loops of Stacey before I went to sleep, I think it was only about 14 times, so you can tell I was tired! Up next: Minnie Mouse freaks out!

I love your Livin' It Up life philosophy, it's so simple, and yet, so easy to forget to do sometimes!
OMG that cupcake looks so good! I'm glad it's a Zebra cupcake again, hello, it's striped like a zebra, why would they change it to a Safari cupcake? I love Disney, but sometimes they like to mess with perfection...don't change ANYTHING Disney, you're perfect, just the way you are! I wish we had a chance to go to Animal Kingdom when I was just there (LAST WEEK! Can you believe I was just in Disney last week? Ughh, where does the time go??? I still have not adjusted back to real life. Sure I'm going through the motions, but in my mind, I'm still in Disney. ) I'm so glad you like turkey legs too! I have to eat one in DHS on every trip. I don't know why DHS, but I just have to. You're right though...they don't make you feel very good about yourself! I hate leaving Disney property too! And we always seem to, at least once, on each trip, it's so annoying! I even told my DH on this past trip that he needed to hurry up because I couldn't stand being outside of the Disney bubble and he looked at me like I'm crazy...only DISers understand I guess! Glad you got a camera and your mom found sunglasses! I cannot believe I haven't been to WPE yet. If I don't go on my next trip, I should ban myself from Disney for a year or something, there's just no excuse! Your mom sounds like so much fun, I love that you guys can take trips together and have a great time! I hope I have a little girl someday so I can take her to Disney for every single important event in her life and act crazy with!

I'm glad that your departure from the Disney bubble wasn't too long!! That's purposely why I don't want to rent a car while at Disney, I don't want to be bothered with such real-world concepts as driving!!
WPE looks great! It really is a fantastic CS restaurant!!

Your safari cupcake just looks delicious! I've had my eye on one of those babies for like a year now hahaha.
I feel like there is just no graceful way to eat something with the word 'leg' in the title. I just did an evil sounding laugh (it just came out... I couldn't stop it) after reading your Mean Girls reference haha. "OHH KEVIN G!!!" It really sucks that you had to leave Disney property. I'm sorry.

A wedding at ToT would be awesome. I have dreams of my bridal party all decked out in our wedding garb having a whole elevator to ourself!! I became fb friends with the awesome bellhop from my last trip and he has SO MANY pics of him and the fellow CMs with pictures of almost all of them or just 2 of them riding it. Can you imagine riding it all you want if we worked there? Although...I don't know if I would be a good CM there. I'm too happy, I'm not good at NOT smiling and giving off the eerie vibes they give!
Yum, yum, yum...that cupcake looks SO GOOD! I can't believe I have never tried one of the ones from AK. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! I need to go there AND Wolfgang Puck Express. Guess I'll need to book another Disney trip. Oh darn. I veered off-property my first trip...tourist-y tacky is no bueno. Disney does it right!! Glad the slight deviation was lickety-split.

Sorry to hear about your camera. That must have been scary leaving Disney property. We only do that when it's time to leave and that's scary and sad. At least you knew you were only making a quick leave.
Yum the cupcake looks good! I've never seen them there before. And, yes the new monorail guy is no good. I was there in the beginning of May and it's definitely not the same. Why do they randomly change these things? The people movers and now this? I don't get it! Looking forward to the next update! I always enjoy your reports. What a great Livin it Up attitude that you have! Go you!

Well, they sell it right by the safari, so I could understand why they would call it that, but it obviously looks more like a zebra! haha. SO JEALOUS YOU WERE THERE LAST WEEK!!!!!!!!! Sigh. I miss it so much! We used to stay off property and now that I'm so engrossed in the Disney bubble I hate leaving! Even like seeing normal street signs just annoys me. DEFINITELY go to WPE next time. If you hate it, I will personally refund you. LOL. But seriously, it's that good. Aww. Yeah, one day when I am ready for kids (which will be many years) I am going to take them to Disney all the time. I seriously think about that constantly. I can not wait to experience the magic through their eyes. Quote:
Yep, it's definitely my favorite CS and one of my faves overall. Quote:
Hey, don't knock the Spice Girls camera. I got some good shots of my friends and I wearing frosted lipstick and belly shirts that had Chinese characters on them. We looked awesome! YES!!! Go to Wolfgang Puck's ASAP! You will not regret it. Quote:
hahaha you are right about that leg thing! LOL I'm glad you got that. "I don't play it like Shaggy, he'll know it was me!" oh man that is one of the BEST scenes in cinema history. Quote:
haha YES you absolutely should!! And if you do... bring me with you!!!!!!!! Quote:
It's delicious! And I just can't believe they changed my beloved Monorail Voice Guy. I mean, what next, are they going to replace Cinderella Castle?!? Thank you so much!

I agree that Living It Up is the best way to go for sure. I try to have the same philosophy, because everything else just isn't worth it, you know?
Cupcake....on my list.....along with every other cupcake on WDW's menus. WPE is the food of life....along with cupcakes.

When they replace Stacey I will stay in bed for a week. Seriously. I can't even imagine it without her! Quote:
Haha, me too. I've tried a lot of the WDW cupcakes but I have a really long list still to try. I'm going to have to get at least 15 a day on the next trip.

Long time lurker on your trip reports but I can't help myself anymore. I am an O.C. fanatic and love the references in this trip report and your last one! I make life decisions based on that show. Like which resort to stay at in Disney. My mom and I had it down to either Port Orleans Riverside or the French Quarter. In my little mind: Riverside! That's a town Julie is from on the O.C.! So I pick that one! Also I only tried tilapia because Sandy said he loved it on an episode. So again in my little mind: Tilapia! Sandy Cohen loves Tilapia! Okay I'll try it!! And I ended up loving it. I still watch that show an embarrassing amount. Like I'm currently on yet another marathon of the first season. I just can't get enough.
Anyway, your trip report is awesome so far and I love your writing style! |

Always very happy to have more OC fans on this crazy train. You sound really obsessed which is good. I am going to watch the series over the summer and shake and cry the entire time. Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying!

HAHA okay so I tried a turkey leg for the first time in December, and you pretty much summed up my feelings about eating it. It was good, and I went straight Henry the Eighth on that thing, but I hated myself afterwards!
UGH leaving Disney property...no thank you. I totally know what you mean about "the bubble." But yay for getting your new camera, and new sunglasses for your mom, and making it back to Disney property quickly!! I've never had WPE, but I really need to try it! It sounds delicious!

Yeah they were called Zebra Cupcakes! That's so weird that they had a different name when you were there. YUM that thing was so delicious!
Ugh don't even remind me about the monorail voice guy. I literally almost cried. I have NEVER eaten a turkey leg. Is that weird? I COMPLETELY understand how you feel leaving Disney property. I would just rather not live in the real world. I always get the same exact thing as you at WPE because of your old trip report. Now I'm OBSESSED. That mac and cheese just keeps getting better and better.

Publisher's Description
How good are your story-telling skills?
The record-breaking success of the films of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and the recent release of C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has meant that parents, perhaps unfamiliar with these stories, have found themselves in a culture awash with references to 'Middle Earth' and 'Narnia'.
This book is for those who want to know more about the stories of these great authors. Those already acquainted with the writings of Tolkien and Lewis will find it a fascinating insight into their friendship and subject matter but what William Chad Newsom seeks to do is introduce these books to new readers, with a particular emphasis on the role of parents as storytellers.
Each chapter contains advice on how to get the most from each book when parents read them to, or together with, their children.
Lewis once wrote a snippet of poetry to Tolkien in which he refers to the importance of 'talking of dragons': of capturing the imagination of young minds. This delightful book explains that if parents want their children to grow up trusting in God then they, too, must 'talk of dragons': stretching their children's imagination outside the materialistic world into a spiritual one.
Full of suggestions and insights Talking of Dragons will prove a joy to your family as you discover the wonderful tales of Lewis and Tolkien.

September 13, 2012 | Powerful little Amp |
Review by
Kyle from Oregon, OH
I was first pointed to this amp when I was looking for a monoblock to power my 2 Rockford P1's when I first got into the whole Car Audio thing. It was cheap compared to a lot of the other amps, and the specs were better than the 2 channel Kenwood I had running my subs before.
When I got it, I must say I was a little surprised at its size. Relatively small compared to my previous one, but I had my car stereo enthusiast neighbor help me hook it up, and tune everything just right. The difference was like night and day. Maybe it was because the "professionals" who hooked up my stuff at ABC Warehouse were not so professional, or maybe this is just a much better amp, but regardless it worked great and it has been for nearly 2 years now. I'm currently powering 2 ten inch Alpine Type R's with this 1000 watt monoblock and they still sound amazing, and right around what you need for them. The only downside that comes to mind is that rap songs, or any song with a lot of continuous heavy bass, at loud volumes, can cause the amp to shut off and go into protect mode. This really isn't such a bad thing, as it protects the product you paid for, but its just a little inconvienent because I can't get the thing to go back to normal without turning my car off, and then back on again. I figured turning the headunit off, and turning the power off to the amp, then letting it sit 15 minutes would do the trick, but no luck. Still works great, and I just tuned the gain down a tiny bit so that doesn't happen anymore. Really no complaints. Good solid amp, just the right amount of power, and it was quick and easy to swap out my 2 channel amp for this one. So for 150$, this is a steal to me.

Lymph nodes serve as a filtering system for the lymphatic system (a system of vessels that collects fluids from cells for filtration and reentry into the blood). The first node in the armpit area (axillae) that is affected by breast cancer is also called the sentinel, or guard node. Learn more about sentinel lymph node biopsy.
If the cancer is found to have spread to this specific lymph node or other nodes in the axillary area, then your breast surgeon will probably recommend an axillary node dissection. Each woman has a different number of nodes in her body, so the decision to remove nodes is not based on number, but on location.
There are three levels of axillary lymph nodes and options for dissection:
- Level I – This refers to removal of all tissue below the axillary vein and extending to the side where the axillary vein crosses the tendon of a muscle called the latissimus dorsi
- Level II – This dissection removes diseased tissues deeper in the middle (medial) area of another muscle called the pectoralis minor
- Level III – This is the most aggressive dissection and removes all of the nodal tissue from the axillae
In most cases, level I or II nodes need to be surgically removed if the sentinel node is found to be positive or if it is known prior to surgery (via fine needle aspiration biopsy) that there is an enlarged node with cancer in the armpit area.

Back by Popular Demand: Tech Tips in the Magazine
The internet is one thing but you know you've arrived when you see your face on the cover of a tabloid. Although we can't quite offer you that experience, we are bringing back tech-tips in the magazine.
If we choose your tech-tip for publication in the magazine we'll send you a t-shirt (or a calendar) and we'll give you a one year subscription to the Digital Edition of Linux Journal. Even if we don't use your tech-tip in the magazine we still might use it on linuxjournal.com, and if we do, for that we'll send you a t-shirt or a calendar.
Email your tech-tips to webeditor and let the tech-tipping begin.
Note: not all t-shirts are available in all sizes so t-shirts are subject to availability.
Thanks for the tips
Do you have any examples available showing what you consider to be a particularly well-formatted tech tip?
Are you just looking for one-liners, for instance, or well-thought-out columns? Or something in between?
We plan to put them all on
We plan to put them all on one page in the magazine and look to publish between 2 and 5 per month, so figure half to quarter page. Search for tech-tips on the web site and that should give you an idea of what we're looking for, but of course you're always welcome to try and surprise us.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This is my version of a LBD. I always knew I wanted to make the Scuba Dress and this was my perfect opportunity! I absolutely love the front and back curved seams on the dress, they are so my style. What I liked most about this dress pattern is that it would work best sewn in spandex, my favorite fabric. Since I was going to make it is spandex, I cut the pattern a size smaller than I usually am.
For the center panel I used a leather-look black metallic spandex, and for the side panels I used a black mesh spandex with sparkle polka dots. On the red carpet I have seen some celebs rock the mesh polka dots so I wanted to give it a try. I lined the side panels with nude spandex so the dress wasn't too risque.
It was hard for me to do just a little black dress, since I love color so much! But I guess every gal needs one…and I'll just have to wear crazy-awesome shoes with it!

Don't like the Bible? Well, you could just create your own version. At least that's what a homosexual group has done. The world's first "gay friendly" Bible [book] has been published as the "Queen James Bible." Continue Reading

O tempora, o mores. What next? Will someone want to purge the Song of Songs of its oppressive heteronormativity? I'm almost tempted to cite Martin Luther's famous "Open Letter on Translating", but that might be a bit offensive considering the present context. Still a good read, though, if only for the pithy language. I hear his excommunication might yet be revoked.

King James I was instrumental in banning witchcraft, the other side of Freemasonry having similar initiations, biblically called as "Craft" & such a person cannot have been a "Queer" but did have an enemy In Sir Francis Beacon of QE I fame, said to have been the Perpetrator of Modern Freemasonry, which became the Arch enemy of The Catholic Church until the day & hence is not surprising to see such publications in Queer names.

Humans will be humans, while I'm in the process of becoming Catholic I still follow the basic law of life, live and let live. It is after all what the bible teaches, love your neighbor as you love yourself, do unto others as others would do unto you ect, ect. I don't judge people personally, we all have our faults and we all are imperfect, so I try to be a friend to all.
We are imperfect creatures and we will always do what we feel is right even if the right thing, by Gods standards isn't right at all. The bible says that our hearts lie to us and what we see as right isn't at all right but a lie.
So what if these people want to make their own bible, that hasn't stopped protestants from making theirs. They will see correction in the end, they will eventually learn that their ways aren't the right way, even if it's too late. The only thing we Catholics can do is point out the error of their ways, but in the end, the decision is still all up to them who they follow in the end. -

...I'm still not sure why we, as Catholics, are overly concerned about a version of the Bible that's not authorized by ANY Church official, which was altered and changed at LEAST three times before what we now call the "King James" version came to be just so a corrupted British King could marryhis mistress illigitimately (who he later executed) and which was used to persecute the Church for several HUNDRED years being co-opted by gays. Seems to me that version was ALREADY changed to suit someone's sexual desires... why should they stop?

Truth Teller,
The apostles were martyred for what they had eye witnessed and preached as truth. The bible is Holy Spirit inspired regardless of what you want to believe. Yes the bible uses allegories and other literal devices but it does not take away from the true lesson. Don't blind yourself and others behind irrational devices such as this new book. You know who the real spiritual force behind this revised book is don't you? He is laughing all the way to the soul bank with this one. I fear for the young ones looking for a reason to rationalize their behavior. You do have a big cross to bear and my heart hurts for you. May you find the joy and peace in your heart that only Christ can provide. -

As we know, the bible as currently written in English is filled with interpretations and varying words and messages, many of which are contradictory, and mostly fictional. I was taught by my Catholic mother that we don't take literally the words of the Old Testament, or even most of the New Testament, just the four Gospels. As a gay man who no longer affiliates with any religion, I was grateful for that message as it probably saved my life. I sympathize with those LGBT people who are born into fundamentalist families who take the fictional work of the bible literally word for word. Of course, as we know those words have been re-interpreted and changed over and over again over the centuries. Every last word in the Bible was written by a fallible human being. It is not the word of God. Thus, it's okay that yet another "version" of the Bible now be published that takes into account yet another fallible human perspective on the text. In centuries past, when people didn't agree with previous revisions of the Bible, they would be killed, burned at the stake, their countries overrun with violence, etc. until those who didn't believe were simply no longer with us. Then poof, here's the new Word of God, believers said. I see no problem with someone revising the fictional book of the Bible today either. We should be glad the authors aren't as violent as the revisionists were back in the middle ages and earlier.

God is not a politician that changes his mind to please his constituents. God does not change like the wind. It's not fun and games to blasphemy nor to lead other people astray. You know in your heart what God has written is true because He is truth. The author of lies is the devil. "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea". Mark 9:42. May the Lord protect your heart and give you peace. -

The King James was a revision, then so was the 1611 version of the King James... they've removed whole books just so certain doctrines could be called into question in order to suit the politics surrounding their "reformation." All done to support an unholy marriage after a divorce that could not meet any standard for an annullment. Bottom line: the
King James" version as we know it today was created to support unscriptural sexual proclivities.
Now someone has "revised" their revision to suit THIER political motives.

I'm trying to determine the age of this child's rocker. Value too. It was given to me by a rather elderly lady who said it was passed down to her from her mother. She said it was made in Michigan and it's very old. That's about all I know. It appears to hand made vs. machine made but I'm not certain. There are no nails or screws. It's all wood construction. Any help is appreciated. |

Great little rocker ... but that style has been popular for so long that it's impossible to date it without finding a sticker or makers mark. Best guess would be to take the "rather elderly" woman's age and assume her mom got it as a baby gift early in her mom's married life. If "rather elderly" to you is 70, that only gets you to the 1940s. It's based on the popular "Windsor chair" that dates back to the 1700s. |
Thanks. I could not find any sticker or markers mark. The woman who gave it to me was in her early 80's at the time. Her mother died about 4 years ago and was 104 years old. I thought of dating it to around her mother's birth, however, this woman and her mother were both born in the UK. They moved to the midwest later in life as adults. Given the comment that it was from Michigan, I'm assuming the mother bought it as an adult in the midwest. Based on the wear marks on the finish I think it may have gone through multiple generations. Or a a lesser amount of generations but with a lot of kids. |
Can you tell what wood (or woods) it is made of? How many pieces of wood make up the seat? One? Or several strips? (How many?) If there are saw marks on the bottom of the seat, are they straight or arced? How thick is the seat at its thickest? The front legs go through the seat, showing as a "peg" on top. This is typical of older Windsor chairs. More modern ones usually do not go all the way through. Also, the way the rocker is attached to the bottom of the leg is how it was done early on: The leg is notched and the rocker fitted into it. So it could be very old. However, accurate reproductions were also made -- on the other hand, they tend to be high-quality. Cheaper ones wouldn't have the seat "pegs" and the foot of the leg would be inserted into a hole in the rocker. On to the Michigan bit: Primetime for Michigan's furniture industry was late 1800s-early 1900s. This is not typical of those pieces. It is possible that it was made in Michigan, of course, but also possible it was not. It's almost impossible to tell from photographs whether this is a really old (several centuries) chair or one that is much more recent, but still good quality. You will need to take it to an an expert who specializes in early American furniture to find out. You want an off-the-cuff guess? 1840s. But that is sheer wild speculation on my part. It could be much older or much newer. |
Thank you for responding. Unfortunately I have no idea what the wood type is. The seat has 4 planks joined by 3 pegs. I see circular saw marks at the cut on the face of the base. The base of the seat is about 1.25 inches at it's thickest. The front legs do not go all the way through the base. My off-the-cuff guess is 1900-1910 or 1840-1860. I'll see if I can get more clues from the woman who gave it to me and will let you know what she says. |
Here is a link that might be useful: rocker photos
It smells like 1900-1910, but something tells me it's older. I'm stumped! |
Ok - so on a 2nd passing, it looks like the swirls may be brush strokes in the shellac. The face of the cut side looks straight. |
The wood used was like walnut wood. The design was like 1900. |
sounds about right. |

I don't lie, cheat, swindle, or manipulate very well, so I'm not sure how far I'd go, but I would love to!!
I would love to have that platform, and my first issue would be to change the welfare system. I stand firm that if people don't want to work, they ought not eat.
And, of course, gun safety would be in EVERY SCHOOL, as well as trap shooting teams, etc. This would, of course be replacing the inappropriate and silly, "how to be nice to Billy, since he has two dad's" type of classes.
And, lastly, all sex offenders will have a sentence beyond their worst imagination. No worries, we will not have to build bigger prisons.
The list could go on....think I have a chance?!

Classic review: Tepper Isn't Going Out
Calvin Trillin serves up a novel "as deightful as finding a free spot in Time Square."
[This review from the Monitor's archives originally ran on Jan. 24, 2002.] If you drive a car in a major city, you know that the success of an evening has nothing to do with the charm of your date, the taste of the food, or the brilliance of the theater. It's all about the quality of your parking space.
With Tepper Isn't Going Out, Calvin Trillin has written a novel that's as delightful as finding a free spot in Times Square. His gentle hero is Murray Tepper, a kind of Chauncey Gardiner with a driver's license.
Tepper has spent his life in New York City. And he knows where to park. He knows where the fire hydrants lurk, where he can leave his car overnight, where he must switch sides by 11 a.m., and even where "Diplomatic Plates Only" signs cause special problems. "There were nights when he was totally confident of finding a spot," Trillin writes. "There were nights when he could almost imagine himself with a large tattoo on his arm that said, BORN TO PARK."
As the cofounder of Worldwide Lists, a mailing-list brokerage firm, Tepper spends his workdays trying to discern the mysterious connections between apparently disparate groups of people. Will buyers of nose-hair cutters go for lettuce dryers? His goal is to find the "magic button," the list of people who will buy anything. But in the evenings, he likes to spend an hour or so in his car next to a paid-up meter, reading the paper.
So begins Trillin's perpetually amusing fable of a simple man with a simple pastime who disrupts America's biggest city.

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, | 1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. |
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, accepting one another in love, | 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. |
3 diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds [us]. | 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. |
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope at your calling; | 4 There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called-- |
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, | 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; |
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. | 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. |
7 Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the Messiah's gift. | 7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. |
8 For it says: When He ascended on high, He took prisoners into captivity; He gave gifts to people. | 8 This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." |
9 But what does "He ascended" mean except that He descended to the lower parts of the earth? | 9 (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions ? |
10 The One who descended is the same as the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. | 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) |
11 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, | 11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, |
12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, | 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up |
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God's Son, [growing] into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ's fullness. | 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. |
14 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. | 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. |
15 But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head-Christ. | 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. |
16 From Him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part. | 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. |

Honoring Eli J. Segal – A True Entrepreneur
Today marks the two year anniversary for the Serve America Act. As we celebrate the progress we've made in looking to community solutions and innovation to address our nation's greatest challenges, we also reflect on those who have paved the way for service.
Last month, Melody Barnes, Director of the Domestic Policy Council, had the honor of addressing students, faculty and community members at Brandeis University for the annual Eli J. Segal Memorial Lecture.
Eli J. Segal was both a respected businessman and a dedicated public servant. In the 2007 Inaugural Segal Memorial Lecture, President Clinton remembered his friend and colleague as a true entrepreneur – a man who saw problems as opportunities for new solutions. He showed us that service could be an integral part of one's life, not just something to squeeze into limited spare time.
Segal was a doer – someone who turned his visions into reality. An aide to President Clinton, Segal was instrumental in driving several of the Clinton Administration's most praised projects. He helped create AmeriCorps – the national service program that today deploys 85,000 Americans to serve in communities across the country – and he went on to serve as the first CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the agency established to run the federal service programs. Nelson Mandela turned to the "father of AmeriCorps" for uniting post-apartheid South Africa through service. Segal and President Clinton helped realize Mandela's vision of a black and white youth serving side by side through the creation of City Year-South Africa. During the overhaul of the federal welfare system, Segal was the "chief implementer" – finding 20,000 companies to move 1 million Americans from welfare to work.
In her remarks highlighting Segal's legacy, Barnes said:
"Coast to coast, country to country, Eli believed ordinary citizens could be change agents empowered to strengthen their communities, their country, and the world. And at a time when our world is changing so quickly – when some are looking for what divides us rather than what brings us together – it is the best time to honor a person who believed in the humanity that exists in all of us – humanity that ultimately resists division and instead, brings us closer to work for the common good."
Barnes remembered past Presidents who had called on our nation to serve, and she relayed President Obama's call for Americans to integrate service into their lives.
"…We have a real opportunity to position America to win the future. This is the time to build new models of civic engagement – and if past is prologue, we will. Historically, we've responded boldly in times of challenge by tapping into our creativity and ingenuity. And, we've turned to community – rather than away from it – for solutions."
The Administration understands that government does not and should not have all the answers. Rather, solutions to the major challenges that we face are going to be overcome by ordinary citizens across the country taking action to improve their communities.
Tell us how you are integrating service into your life.

Pan Gyo Complex by MACK Architects Wins Korean National Housing Contest

Set amidst a heavily planted area, the sustainable housing complex [5] by MACK Architect(s) [3] blends seamlessly with the plant life of the area. Pan Gyo's common areas are heavily planted with greenery, and have shared grassy knolls. Most units also have their own private gardens [6], all of which help keep interior temperatures down in hot months.
The buildings are situated to make the best use of the elements. Tall buildings are placed to block cold winds in winter, while all units face the south to maximize solar energy, as well as fill each apartment with natural lighting. Each unit has natural ventilation [7], with fresh air flowing in through private balconies on the front façade. MACK [3] also built stack ventilation systems in the units' stairways to keep circulation throughout. The units are heated through radiant heat, which is collected by the solar exposure. MACK installed energy efficient roof insulation on the many levels of the roofs to control solar gain, as well as green roofs [8] to help filter rainwater.
The resulting housing project gives residents an affordable place to live, with ample public and private green spaces, while using minimal energy [9].

Behind the Scenes: Sage Kotsenburg's Holy Crail
After 4/20 we closed down the resort but immediately afterward the park crew pushed all of the Crown jumps into one huge jump for Sage and friends to session for his Holy Crail series. Heavy hitters like Bode Merrill, Zak Hale, Aaron Biittner, Nik Baden, Nick Julius, Michael Wick, and Griffin Siebert came to throw down. Vita Brevis Films and Pat Fenelon also brought some cameras up to get some of the sickest footage to date. From R3Ds to drones to local legends to Olympic gold medal athletes, we did it all. Here is a preview VBF put together from the craziness that went down after we were closed. Keep an eye out for Sage's Full Part dropping on TWSNOW.com this Fall.
