Gay...... This serie lost me when a learn that the main caracter is ''Fill this empty space''....
sorry this just my though
13 ep and 1 oav..... don't know for the manga still.
Coming soon.........
Aye there has..... but anyway, I love Gravi too. It's a rather recent favourite of mine. I only got the manga and anime about 2 months ago.
The manga is still ongoing in Japan, with no end to it in the near future. It's currently 12 volumes, with 10 volume available in English with the 11th coming out in March or April I think...
Most certainly, this is a Shounen-ai/Yaoi series. So typically it's got a fairly limited fan appeal due to the nature of the story. All through I do know some guys who liked Gravi... somewhat. Not as much as rabid fangirls like me would, but they still liked it all the same. ^_^Originally Posted by Ectoruss

Same. Some of my closest friends like gravi and they are male.Originally Posted by Hikari Sakurai
I am most certain a rabid fangirl. I fell in love with the series by the first volume of the manga.
Seduced by Flesh
yay for rabid fangirls ^^. to answer the original question, there are 13 eps and 2 ovas (which, in my opinion, were so horrible its depressing ), and right now the manga is out to about 10 or 11. i have absolutely no clue how many there are in all, but i definately know its not ending *anytime* soon XD.Originally Posted by Kasai
i only have one guy friend who just got into gravi. i got him to read fake and he got thru all of it (yes, even vol 7 ), so i figured, why not gravi too? and who couldnt love gravi?! its so adorable. the music rocks. its teeming with shonen ai, and if a series is lucky enough to have a character as awesome as k-san, then its most certainly awesome enough to read ~<3
so tell me, what does it feel like living in a constant cloud of stupidity?

Chief: Baseball bat incident occurred prior to shootingJune 11,2014By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston said police were initially called to the area of a shooting on Summer Street today for a report of a man chasing another individual up a hill with a baseball bat.
Whether that incident is related to the shooting that sent three people to the hospital at 3:35 p.m. is unclear, the chief said.
However, two of the individuals who were taken to the hospital are being treated for injuries to their heads that the chief said were not gunshot wounds.
Only one individual was shot, the chief said, suffering a wound to the torso.
Johnson declined to identify any of the injured parties, saying only it was a mix of adult men and women in the apartment.
Police are still searching for two suspects who they say are no longer in the area.
No information about their idenities has been released by police.
Johnston also declined to speculate on any motive for the shooting and said speficially he did not know if was drug related.
"There is a lot of things going on in this case that will probably come together over time," he said.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full Story -

Our Favorite Korean Indie Songs of 2012
So, yesterday we talked about our favorite Kpop songs of 2012. But we didn't talk about any indie music on that list, which is what this list is for! In fact, a lot of the songs on this list we liked more than the songs on yesterday's list. There are some totally phenomenally rocking songs that we've totally abused in our iTunes. So, we'd like to share them with you here as well.
Also, we're really starting to rethink the ways that we consume music. Some of these songs we'll have higher play counts on our iTunes than other Kpop songs that we love, but that's not necessarily because we like those songs more. I think because we live in Korea, when you walk on the streets in a busy area you'll hear Kpop played everywhere outside of stores. So, if you're out for a couple of hours and hear Super Junior a few times, you won't really feel the urge to listen to it at home, right? Our iTunes will have low playcounts for songs that we like, simply because we hear them everywhere else. I just thought I'd get that out there, because some people see our Last.fm page and ask us "Y U NO PLAY ____ U PHONIES!" So…that's why!
Otherwise, back to the songs: we're all about supporting artists and their work, so we made a list of the songs we talked about in this video and links to buying them on iTunes. I know some people think iTunes is the devil. We don't know much about it, but what we do know is that it's one of the easiest ways for people to have access to artists outside of their home country. There are Korean online music shops but FFFFUUUU they're far too difficult for the non-initiated to use. So, we figure it's better for people to buy songs on an imperfect service than to not buy their songs at all, no? Also, we're not sure what's so bad with iTunes. If anyone wants to let us know, please share!
Heart Shake "Turtles Swim Surprisingly Fast"
Honorable Mentions:
Or, if you'd rather just watch the videos on YouTube, we have them embedded in the playlist above, so check them out there!
And, lastly, just like yesterday's list, I'm sure there are some awesome songs that we totally forgot about that we'd be ashamed of not including if we remembered what those songs were. John Park's "Falling" was an example of that for yesterday, for which – after people brought it to our attention – we literally shouted out expletives for forgetting. So, please let us know in the comments what Indie songs you loved the most this year, and hopefully we can shout out some more in frustration for not including them. YARGH!

ouch, that seemed like a rough favorite list. I have been infatuated with J Rabbit since I discovered them on this site. Looks like a lot of those Indie projects are going to stay indie…they kind of wreak…
I think people don't like iTunes, because it's an Apple company and some people just don't like Apple. Me? I think Apple is alright; their products are sturdy and that iTunes store is pretty decent. You will never see my walking around with an iDevice, though, because they're overhyped and overpriced. My Android is not as powerful as an iPhone, but it gets the job done and I don't have to the hack it just to personalize it. I also think they have too much power in the digital media distribution market with the iTunes, but that's a story for another blog XD
I want to thank you for introducing me to Neon Bunny. She is now one of my favourite singers ever. And I'm not particularily found of female singers. Not because I'm sexist (or am I?) but because I prefer a lower voice….Sorry to any girls out there that have high voices. Also want to thank you for making me like Clazziquai/DJ Clazzi more. I knew about them but was like they're OK. But now I super duper like them!
Haha my phone works okay!!! And again, thank you for finding my phone !!!!! And SIMON is in my pic haha :)))
I'm not sure if you liked it or not, but Clazzi's Love & Hate was really good
85 comments on an INDIE THREAD!?!?!? Its a New Years MIRACLE!!!!! #SoSad #WhyCantThereBeMore #KIndie4Life
I think the reason Kpop fans say iTunes is the devil is because iTunes charts don't count in Korea. They think to fully support their beloved groups/singers they need to buy music from a source that will count on the charts.
I love Internacional love song
Another enjoyable video. Simon and Martina, did you ever make a bad video?
Honestly one of the best korean indie songs on my mind right now is CN Blue-Intuition. Just wanted to say that.
Is Park Ji Yoon considered indie?
She was such a huge superstar back in the day with JYP that I can't see her that way
Her most famous song is Adult Ceremony which has been covered many many times
I really like I'm a Man too from her back in the day… days
I loved the song too and glad she's doing ballads again but yeah… she's just such a huge star -
Thank you for Glen Check! I cannot get enough! :D :D
Love this stuff, only recently started listening to it (thanks to Eat Your Kimchi) and honestly great variety and indie still means independent, so music has a wide range of sounds and methods (or rather, 'indie' is not associated with a particular kind of sound like I feel to some degree it has become in North America). Not to sound pretentious, im really not, and couldnt care if a song ever scored high views (I find that notion confusing, id like to reward musicians i like) or gained some threshold in the mainstream (assuming they dont alter thier sound too much for it, but do what they like to do) but the South Korean Indie scene still seems very much untapped (at least how EYK presents it, which I can only know as the reality atm) which keeps it so naturally mixed and personal in its creativity.
All of these named are I personally find really good, put only one or two in the 'its okay' category for my tastes.
Hot Potato – Pillow<3
I didnt listen to indie music at all and i didnt know that there is sooo many in korea! thank you for showing me such an amazing music genre!
Love that you guys really liked Neon Bunny's Oh My Prince! In fact, her entire album is awesome, but this song is just so catchy and the lyrics are just great, reading the translation made me like this song even more (it kind of goes well together with I Don't Need a Man, I guess).
AshGray's KillHeel is killer! I heard about it from you guys too!
This video makes me so happy haha! Looks like two of my requests made it into your favourites… and more importantly, YOUR HEARTS *crowd awws*
We have pretty close to the same taste in music so I`m agreeing you S&M for the most part on this year end review.
a few that I would have added to this list as my favourites were (in no particular order):
로로스 – Dream: http://youtu.be/6S7bIDeWbdw
You guys reviewed it earlier in the year but I got the impression that you werent all impressed as its quite a long and drawn out song. For some reason this song really touches me emotionally almost every time I listen to it. it has such a beautiful opening and a long drawn out build up. One of my favourite songs to listen to first think after a long day at work3rd Line Butterfly – Sexy: http://youtu.be/8xz3TwfWDbw
Another one you guys reviewed. Ive seen this band live a number of times and I just how playful and quirky they are, this video shows exactly that and is also quite a catchy song. Also I kind of have a crush on Sang-ah NamGate Flowers – Nighty Night: http://youtu.be/QJbMvcfmp8w
The thing that grabs me the most other than the fact this guy reminds me of Chris Cornell is the PACE of the song. Its just so cool and funky and I can never get sick of listening to it. Another band I've seen live in Hongdae a couple times, but havent seen them around lately :(Brick Slipper – Time to Ignite: http://youtu.be/UjtFJs2z5_4
This song came out in December of 2011 so its close enough to being in my year favourites, but honestly I only started listening to Korean indie music this year so its ALL new to me. This song is such an awesome song by an awesome band. They have a great album (self titled) but seemed to have dropped off the face of the planet as Ive been looking around for news on live shows or a new album. If any of you hear anything about them playing Seoul let me know because I hear they are AMAZING live.Neon Bunny – Come a little closer: http://youtu.be/aXqo9-uLUAk
Although the style of "Oh My Prince" is way more my style of music that I listen to, for some reason I liked this song more as I found myself replaying it a lot since the summer. ON ANOTHER NOTE the video for this song is complete bullshit! The first half is fine (and a little boring) but the crap the director put in with paper bag head guys working out was trying so hard to be modernly artistic but to me was pretentious bull crap.Love X Stereo – Free Ass : http://youtu.be/zyjPVewUfQ0
This isnt exactly a family-friendly song even so that they had to blank out the word "SEX" in the song (which seems so silly to me as its so obvious what she's singing). Next time I see them live I'll have to ask her the reason for it because it seems be censored by the bands doing. ANYWAys the feel of the songs is so dreamy and cool and I really like her voice. When they play live most of their songs are a lot more up beat and electronic and the girl Yeon-Kyung is super energetic and fun. I was really surprised talking to her that she has FLAWLESS English with little to no accent which leads me to believe she might be a Korean-AmericanMuzie – My name is Muzie: http://youtu.be/18sbKCgzqVE
This is not exactly a song but more of a promotion of an artist about a minute long. By NO means do I actually LIKE this song or artist (as he seems pretty full of himself and pretty much rips of a ton of Michael Jackson moves and style). The reason why Im posting it so you can have a good laugh. Even more funny is the story at the beginning and end of his actual music video (Love At First Sight. http://youtu.be/18sbKCgzqVE ) The song itself is a train wreck and goes on and on for too long. Its trying too hard to be late 80's early 90's synth pop but to me i cant stand it. DEFINITELY worth watching the ending though, I laugh every timeLet me know what you think…
Loving the trip hop feel of eAeon's "Bulletproof" :) These are some great choices, thanks for the tip guys.
I was super excited that Ukulele Picnic came out with a new album (Summertime Mele) in the summer. I've loved them since I saw them at Jisan Rock Fest. Their previous album was better, but I prefer a more folk-music sound. But that was definitely my favorite.
This year I'm totally going to get into and listening to K-Indie. I have been missing out on awesome music for soooo long. Where have I been? Under a rock? I'm now totally addicted to K-indie.
I'll admit, I don't usually watch the Indie playlists, the only one I've seen being the one with Americano. But after watching this and listening to all of the songs, I will start paying attention to these! I was really surprised by how much I liked these songs (Especially Bulletproof, Love Dance and Tree of Life), and what the hey. I like all types of music, so why not start getting into some K-Indie? Great list, and I hope the amazing music I heard is a sign of good things to come. :)
Some of the songs you guys mentioned are among my favorites of the year as well, like DJ Clazzi's How We Feel and Park Ji Yoon's Tree of Life. Other personal favorites of mine are:
– Handsome People, Woowei Woowei. I actually ended up buying the entire album after just listening to all of the song previews on iTunes. Highly recommended. MV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NJyV0r9734 Album: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/are-you-handsome/id544222836
– Hot Potato, Pillow. Not only a great song, the video really speaks to me as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyhxFblmOpc
– Daybreak, Silly. Loved this song the instant I heard it in the Indie segment and had it on repeat for weeks afterward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOCO9pior78
– Younha, Run. I have to laugh when the E.T. bike appears, but other than that… :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDm3W5ozED4
– Jung In, Rainy Season. This is actually a 2011 release, but I didn't discover it until 2012. Jung In has one of my favorite female voices. (Plus I requested it for the Indie segment – how can I leave it off my list of favorites? :p) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7E9cw1OiNw
– Joo Young, From Me To You. I don't know anything about this artist, so I'm not sure if he qualifies as Indie, but it's a great song with a music video that I'd love to see reviewed for KMM. That's not going to happen, haha, but maybe someone will request it for the Indie segment. Hmm, might have to break out my Bane scarf again…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggfUrnrWaawHonorable Mentions that may or may not be Indie (they all have shamefully low views on YT, though):
– Brick, Blue You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmw6wKzbGAU This one has only 1,000 views! It's a beautiful song that incorporates orchestra strings. Please give it a listen.
– Toxic, Lonely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wejUkIwXCkY Starry Night on a guitar! Anybody know anything about this duo?
– Heenain, You're A Jerk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ8wby3E3ZQ Girl with a distinct voice.
– Kim Tae Woo, When I Look At Myself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMHzaYX5Swg Great MV as well.
Okay, I just realized that I've basically recreated a lot of my YouTube playlist for buried songs on the EYK charts. Simply posting this link would have been much easier: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAXwjTS6aCFqYYSHOeRoCKxX1dR8gOU5r
EDIT: I forgot Nell! They're too big to really be considered Indie, but White Night and The Day Before are both favorites of mine. Interesting fact: Did you know that certain members of Nell created some of the songs for Kim Sung Kyu's (Infinite) solo album? My favorite song off that album is 41 Days, which was written and composed by a member of Nell. 41 Days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwpcHuKoXuQ
I know it's been a while since you posted this but I NEED TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION AT SEEING NELL HERE.
I really, really like "Tim Spent walking through memories (기억을 걷는 시간)" among many others :D
Next year I hope to see some DickPunks in this list. ^3^
Park Ji Yoon? I didn't expect her being a indie artist especially with all her mainstream pop music she had released back in the day…
My favorite of 2012 was Tarus Orange blossom. The song is pure perfection and the video is really cute.
Ohh :3 I don't listen to indie so much, but my favourite indie songs of the year, I think have to be
Lee Seung Gi – Forest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYwYGy6j76I
daybreak – Silly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOCO9pior78
Baek a yeon – Sad song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYaH8EwEg_8 -
Got to agree with simon on the park ji yoon song its like one of those perfect lullabies
Me too I really love "Love Dance" by the Koxx (it's with this song that I discovered them) more their album is called "Bon Voyage", a french title and I'm french so I appreciated so much (and their name "the Koxx" reminds me of the french symbole that is a cock) so… I love their music and the references to my country that I see. Now I'll listened the other songs that you mentionned guys ;)

Good one...

Four Year Old Brain
Last year we started a birthday tradition with Lincoln where we ask him some questions to see how he changes over the years. Last time the answers were quite entertaining. You can see his 3-year-old quiz here. He definitely understood the concept better this year, although he still acts like he has no clue what a stuffed animal is. He was hilarious because he was thinking so hard about his replies. He sat with his hand on his head as if in deep thought. When I asked him the questions, he would say, "Umm, hmmmmm." Serious business. Well, here he is in all his silly 4-year-old glory.
What is your favorite color?
I knew this answer. He picks out red everything.
What's your favorite toy?
My friends know how much I love tacky super hero stuff.
What's your favorite stuffed animal?
Ummm, hmmmm. Bite whales.
Me: What?
I said bite whales. I like those.
Me: I don't know what that is.
That means they're under the sea. On the bottom.
Me: No, a stuffed animal. I mean, what animal do you like to sleep with?
I want Peanut to sleep with me.
And then I gave up.
What's your favorite fruit?
Pineapple and watermelon
Sounds like his momma.
What's your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
Carbs. Sounds like his mom again.
What's your favorite thing to eat for lunch?
French fries and chicken nuggets and a fruit cup
Can you guess his favorite restaurant?
What's your favorite dessert?
Smoothie and kiwi and…..what's dessert, momma?
Me: Something sweet like cake or brownies
I like cake and cookies
No surprise there.
What's your favorite drink?
Sprite and lemonade
I let him get Sprite on his birthday, and he looked at me like I might have lost my mind. A once or twice a year treat from mom.
What do you want to eat for your birthday dinner?
A cake
No dinner apparently. Let's just get right down to business.
What's your favorite animal?
What's your favorite book to read?
The Hippopotamus Didn't Play.
Me: But Not the Hippopotamus?
That one.
What's your favorite song?
the Wash Away one
You can ask Mike about that.
What's your favorite game to play?
Hungry Hippos and Chutes
Too bad a game of Hungry Hippos usually ends with the baby trying to ingest the balls and Lincoln and sister punching each other.
What's your favorite TV show?
Mickey Mouse
That answer hasn't changed in two years. Big Mickey fan.
What's your favorite movie?
I kind of bought that movie for myself and wrapped it with Lincoln's name on it for Christmas. It was one of my favorites growing up. Glad he enjoys my gift too.
What's your favorite thing to do outside?
Me: Playing what?
Playin' with some trees
Who's your best friend?
Maddie and Parker. And Parker and Graham.
Four best friends. Lucky kid.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A daddy.
Me: That's sweet!
And then I want to drive a motorcycle.
Me: Boys who love their moms don't drive motorcycles.
{Stares blankly at me}
When I'm big, I want to drive a motorcycle.
Another birthday in the books. I hear that four is supposed to be easier than two and three. Since Lincoln has been four for 5 days now, I'm expecting him to get the memo any moment.
Dear Lincoln, How can it be that you are such a big boy now? Tomorrow you will be four years old. I still remember the huge smile on your daddy's face when my water broke and we realized that, ready … Continue reading
Coach Lincoln
I recently realized that I forgot to blog a pretty important milestone in Lincoln's life that happened back in November and December. My not-so-little-anymore little boy played his first organized sport. When Mike and I were first married, long before Lincoln was a part of our world, we used to talk about the day when our son would play baseball. Little League was a big part of Mike's childhood, and I love hearing his stories about all the years he played. To see Lincoln out on that field after all the times I had daydreamed about that moment before he was even born and when he was a baby was a pretty sweet mom moment.
That tender moment only lasted a short while and then the reality of the situation set in. My three-year-old was going to need to listen and follow directions and stand still. Yikes. Most little boys are active and hyper, but I sometimes feel my kid got an extra dose of wild. The whole scene was pretty crazy with three and four-year-olds tackling each other in what became full contact T-ball. While most of the kids seemed to catch on as the season progressed, Lincoln really struggled with all the waiting involved in T-ball. Wait for your turn to bat, wait for a ball to come your way in the outfield. Waiting is not really his forte. At any given moment he could be seen playing dead in the outfield, running off the field to tell me something, clutching his glove in his teeth and shaking his head violently like a dog, or just having a crying meltdown. It was an adventure, and I was exhausted at the end of every game from attempting to keep him under control. At least he ended up being pretty good at batting when it was his turn. He gets his athleticism from his daddy for sure.
My favorite moment of the season is funny now but was embarrassing at the time. Lincoln suffers from first child syndrome, and is pretty bossy at times. He thinks he's 13 instead of 3. Since he didn't enjoy being treated like one of the kids being made to stand still and wait his turn, he decided he would be a coach and tell people what to do instead. He went up to the real coach and said very seriously, "I'm a coach too now. You can call me Coach Lincoln." Clearly he gets his bossiness from Mike!
Everyone enjoyed our family's first foray into organized sports, but it was a little overwhelming, and we think we'll take some time off and let Lincoln get a little older before tackling something like that again. We should probably try soccer or something more fast paced that will exhaust Lincoln more than mom and dad next time!
He loved the huddles.
Racing his buddy and teammate, Parker, to second base instead of staying on first. Pretty sure that's not how you do it, Linc.
Isn't that tongue hanging out concentration the cutest thing you've ever seen?
Post-game snacks might have been his favorite part of the sport.
His first trophy!
Obligatory cheesy team pics. Pretty painful for this photographer momma.
Deepest Waters
Forgive me if my little blog detours for a bit into foster parent talk. Our world has been turned upside down, and this is kind of the focus of our lives right now.
Even though it took us nearly six months from orientation to receiving a license to become foster parents and we attended hours of training, nothing could have prepared us for the intensity of those first few days. My phone rang in the middle of the night, and through my sleepiness I agreed to meet the investigator to pick up two babies. I'll never forget baby girl's little face as the investigator put her into the car seat. She seemed nervous, but not nervous enough for a little one who was being put into a stranger's vehicle in the middle of the night. She stared at me intently the whole ride home, never making a sound. The emotions got the best of me and I began to cry thinking of these babies and the trauma they had experienced. There were no family members or family friends that could take them. The magnitude of that hit me hard as I imagined the fight that would ensue between all of our relatives over who would take Lincoln should we be unable to care for him. And these babies had nobody. It was entirely too much for my momma heart to handle.
At some point, without any prompting from me, baby girl started calling me mama. My heart swelled at the thought that she felt loved and safe and comfortable enough to refer to me that way. At the same time, an unexpected pang of grief struck me. As sweet as it was, it wasn't what was meant to be. In a perfect world, this little one would be with the one who gave birth to her. As a mom, I felt heartbroken for her mother that this precious baby was here calling me mom instead of her. I know mom made her own choices that lead us to this place, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a sad situation for a child to be separated from his or her family.
Every day of this journey has been filled with beauty and with sadness. So much uncertainty surrounds the lives of these children. Every day has been a varying degree of crazy as we've adjusted to life with 3 young children. Every day, despite the strong urge I sometimes feel to curl up in the fetal position and cry because of the madness, these babies feel more and more like they belong here. The thing is that they probably don't belong here. They'll probably end up back with family at some point. The feelings I have for them have taken me by surprise. I didn't give birth to them, but when you feed them, dress them, bathe them, cuddle them day in and day out, your brain says they're not yours, but your heart doesn't get the memo. I am reminded that choosing to love them is a choice to have my heart broken. I want so badly to be selfless enough to make that choice and to put the needs of these children above my own feelings. I guess in some ways it's a testament to the beauty of love and family that we can feel this much for them in such a short time.
I think of the song we sing at church that says, "Your grace abounds in deepest waters," and I pray that we find that to be true. That God's grace will be enough in this situation. Because she calls me mama, and he reaches for me with a grin when I walk in his room every morning. And my heart doesn't remember that they're not mine. I find myself swimming in some really deep waters, praying for God's grace, and praying for the absolute best outcome for these babies, whatever that might be.
Risk Taking 101
Being in your late twenties is a funny thing. For me it's been a time to reevaluate life with the benefit of a few years of experience as a guide. I've asked so many questions about things I would have just accepted as fact before. The combination of becoming a mom, walking through such a scary situation with Mike's health, and just growing a bit wiser have changed me so much.
This time last year I read two books that would prove to change the path of our little family's life. I squirmed as I turned the pages and realized that even though I thought I knew what it meant to be a good person and to be a Christian, I was guilty of watering down Christ's message and somehow I had melded it into living the "American Dream." These words jumped off the page for me:
"The careful study of the Word has a goal, which is not the careful study of the Word. The objective is to discover Jesus and allow Him to change our trajectory. Meaning, a genuine study of the Word results in believers who feed poor people and open up their guest rooms; they're adopting and sharing, mentoring and intervening. Show me a Bible teacher off mission, and I'll show you someone with no concept of the gospel he is studying." (Jen Hatmaker from the book "7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess.")
I didn't see that active lifestyle of service in myself. I saw someone who went to church and gave money to good causes, but I didn't see myself making real sacrifices for people around me. I realized that as I was growing older, I really truly wanted my life to mean something. Excessive stuff and wealth started to gross me out instead of entice me. As much as I had thought I was different, there I was creating an average, middle-class American life for myself. And it pretty much made me feel sick. So I kept asking questions and wondering how I could possibly shift my life to be less about me and more about others. Of course I had my excuses. I'm so busy. I'm a mom. I have a business to run. Maybe when Lincoln is older I can do something. But then these words cut through my list of justifications:
"Saying 'I meant well' is not going to cut it. Not with God screaming, begging, pleading, urging us to love mercy and justice, to feed the poor and the orphaned, to care for the last and the least in nearly every book of the Bible. It will not be enough one day to stand before Jesus and say, 'Oh? Were you serious about all that?'" (Jen Hatmaker from the book "Interrupted")
The thought of living that typical American life where we seek material things, pleasure & just looking out for ourselves kept nagging at me. It wasn't for me. I wanted to be different. So we prayed. And we prayed some more for nearly a year. At some point I realized it was time to stop talking about being different and actually do something to get me towards the life I was after. I saw this quote online. "We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking." I knew it was time to take the first steps, although I'm pretty sure Mike thought I had lost my mind. He's an inside-the-box thinker who appreciates simplicity and order, while I'm more outside-the-box who appreciates a healthy dose of adventure. We went to an orientation and we listened to the stories of the kids and the foster families. I sat there with tears streaming down my face knowing that this was the hard work God was asking us to do. Amazingly, Mike agreed. We came to realize that people who accomplish great things don't choose the easy road. They don't have neat, orderly lives. They take risks and they let their lives be messy. As much as there is a part of me that longs for the easy way out, I know that's no way for me to live, and it's certainly no way to have an impact on people around me or to answer God's call to care for the least of these. And really, that's what I want to be about. Not about just being happy or just seeking a life of wealth, ease or pleasure like society tells us to do. I want to live an adventure. Not the kind of adventure that only serves my own desires. I'm not talking about jumping out of airplanes or just adventure for the sake of adventure. I'm talking about letting my life get a bit less orderly and a bit more complicated and making myself step outside of my comfort zone for the sake of people.
So we made the commitment. Not just a commitment to become foster parents, but to make people and relationships the focus of our lives. To make sacrifices and to not choose the path of least resistance. Mike & Lincoln take precedence, but after their needs are met, I've started saying yes to people. Yes to making dinner when a friend needs a hand even though I'm busy. Yes to babysitting when someone's in a bind even though I have my own child (and now 3 children) to care for. Yes to chatting with a neighbor who has had a bad day even though my to-do list is waiting. I say no to busyness for busyness's sake, but yes to people and to loving the ones that cross my path and yes to building real relationships, because that's really the only thing that matters when it's all said and done. The past year has been one of the greatest, most liberating, most joyful ones of my life, and I know it's due in part to our decision to look at life a little differently than we did before.
We said yes again in the middle of the night when the call came that two kids needed a temporary home. It's been beautiful and heartbreaking and terrifying and it's taken me so far from my comfort zone I can't even see that thing anymore. I am downright exhausted, but I look at those little faces and I know that it's worth it. My being inconvenienced seems so inconsequential in light of what the kids who come to foster care have experienced in their short lives.
For now, this is our path. This is the way we are choosing to use our lives to serve. I don't know if we'll do it for a year or for twenty years, but for the time, this is our calling. It's certainly not an easy path, and it's not for everyone, but I have asked God to help me be willing to do the hard things. So here we are. Taking big risks and praying for big rewards. Hoping that the simplicity of changing diapers, rocking babies, mitigating fights over toys, and giving dozens of hugs translates into something beautiful and something meaningful.

These wearable superhero tributes reflect how obsessive the general public has become with all things comic-inspired.
From Batman to Spiderman, the popularity of these icons has definitely been influenced by the slew of Marvel films churned out over the past few years. Being cleverly integrated into many different wardrobe pieces for both men and women, these innovations seem unstoppable. Often retro-looking and featuring lots of colors, these eye-catching pieces are popular for good reason. Though some people are more drawn to some characters than others, there's a good amount of variety when it comes to these products, especially in terms of which characters are featured in the designs.
Charismatic, playful and showcasing one's love for the comic world, these wearable superhero tributes will likely stick around for years to come.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers about some frozen rodents sold as reptile food that have been linked to Salmonella.
A total of 37 people have become ill with Salmonella infections after handling frozen "feeder rodents" sold at PetSmart stores, according to FDA's warning.
The Arctic Mice brand frozen rodents were distributed nationwide to PetSmart stores by Reptile Industries Inc. The Naples, Florida, USA-based company has declined a recall of all of affected products, according to FDA.
As of May 13, a total of 37 illnesses connected to the mice have been reported in 18 states since January 2014, and five people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A strain of bacteria called Salmonella Typhimurium was detected in one of the feeder mice in the home of someone who fell ill in Oregon, USA, and testing conducted by FDA identified the outbreak strain in two frozen feeder rodent samples collected during an investigation at the company's facility. Two-thirds of the ill people interviewed reported contact with multiple types of reptiles, including snakes and lizards, and 15 reported exposure to frozen feeder rodents.
If you think you've been sickened by contact with the product, call your doctor. If you have any of the Arctic Mice frozen rodents, dispose of them by placing them in a sealed container in the trash so that animals and pets cannot reach them.
Visit FDA's website for tips on safely handling feeder rodents.

When Apple made the iPad mini available for preorder early Friday, the white model sold out within a mater of minutes. However, the black model managed to hang around a bit longer. That is, until today.
Apple's online store is now quoting a two week shipping timeframe for new orders placed for both the white and black Wi-Fi only models. As for the cellular-capable models, the shipping timeframe for those devices are still being quoted for "Mid-November" in the United States. Other countries are being quoted a "Late November" shipping timeframe for the cellular models.
There is still hope, if you're planning in purchasing the iPad mini when it becomes available. The device officially launches this Friday, November 2nd, with Apple retail stores opening at 8:00AM local time to accommodate the launch.
For what it's worth, the fourth-generation iPad also launches this Friday. As with the iPad mini, the cellular models are set to be introduced in the mid-to-late November timeframe. As for the Wi-Fi only model, in most markets those devices are showing a one week shipping estimate for new orders.
It would seem that Apple is using all of it's manufacturing might to meet holiday demand. I do have one question, as to why the white iPad mini sold out first. Is that because more people ordered the white iPad mini, or the fact that Apple knew demand for the black model would be higher and thus had more on hand? I would guess the former, but perhaps Apple is trying to guess customer taste.

CHENNAI: The labour and legal metrology departments conducted raids at several shops at the Koyambedu bus terminus on Saturday and booked 45 traders for violations of maximum retail price (MRP). The raids follow a report in the Times of India on Tuesday.
An official release from the labour department said officials raided 215 shops and found 11 of them selling goods for more than the printed MRP. Another 34 cases were filed for lack of declarations on packaged commodities. "The raids were conducted as a joint operation of legal metrology department and labour department of three circles in an around the Koyembedu bus terminus. The department will conduct raids across the city and take action against violators," said labour commissioner B Chandramohan.
Tuesday's TOI had detailed how various shops across the city fleece customers while the legal metrology department lacked manpower and a helpline to receive complaints from citizens. Based on the report, labour minister C T Chellapandian instructed the department to carry out inspections. Customer activists welcomed the action. "It's a good initiative. The authorities should also conduct inspections at movie halls and shopping malls," said consumer activist and advocate V S Suresh.
Metrology officials said the public can report complaints by dialing 24321438 and 24321525.

Our to-be-remodeled bathroom is 4' wide by 10' long. There is a tub alcove on the right at the back of the room (see photo). Aesthetically speaking, the plan is: *Classic white subway tile in shower and on the walls, with black pencil trim. The overall goal is a very classic black/white look with a little bit of modern tone as well. I plan to have a can light installed in the tub/shower, an important source of light since we will keep a shower curtain (and not use shower doors). In addition, I plan to have a schoolhouse light installed over the recessed mirrored cabinet over the vanity. My questions are: RE Lighting: *Do I need an overhead light as well, given how small the room is? The can light won't be useful in the room (as opposed to in the tub/shower) when the shower curtain is closed. If I do have an overhead light installed, what kind of fixture is usual? Flush, semi-flush? RE Tile: Thanks for any advice you can offer. |

Re the overall lighting plan - our bathroom is a little wider than yours (6') but also long and narrow, about 6x10. On one long wall is a space for the scale, then the door, toilet, and a bump out at the far end. On the other long wall is a 60" 2-sink vanity with full mirror, then a space, then the shower (which is about 5' long and covers the short end of the room. We have two of these lights - one over each sink (couldn't fit lights at the sides) and a shower rated light over the shower, and the lighting is excellent. No additional overhead light is needed. I'd add up your lumens - we found that around 3000-3500 lumen output is good. George Kovacs ADA 20 1/2" Wide Nickel LED Bath Light Style # W1273 |

Thanks - I couldn't figure out how to do that! |
Thanks so much. Good to know about the lumens, I will make a note of that on my fixtures/supplies list. This is one of my inspiration pictures. I noticed that there are can/recessed lights over the vanity, and nothing on the wall. I am giving this serious thought as the room is so small that less is probably more. Do you think that would be sufficient light in a room this size? |

Espresso Stain [1]
Submitted by Ana White [2] on
• Minwax Gel Stain in Red Elm [10]
• Minwax Stain Brush [11]
• Mineral Spirits or Paint Thinner
• 220 Grit Sanding Block
• Sand Paper in varying grits
• Finishing/Buffing Pad
• Rags
• Minwax Spray On Polycrylic [12]
• Stainable Wood Filler
Prepare the Project
After you build your project, you will need to prepare it
for a finish. Fill any screw holes or
pocket holes with stainable wood filler and let dry completely. You may need to fill a second time as wood
filler tends to shrink as it dries.
Then sand your project with coarse sandpaper, followed by
medium, and then fine.
And then give your project a quick buffing with a super fine
sanding block.
Next, you must remove any sanding residue. Use a brush to remove sanding residue, and
then wipe clean with a slightly damp rag.
Apply First Coat
For the espresso stain, use Minwax Gel Stain in Red
Elm. When you open the can, the stain
will look like jello.
Mix the stain until it looks like melted chocolate.
I find working with a slightly damp surface helps the stain
soak in faster and more evenly. Gently
wipe the project with a damp rag or sponge.
For this project, you will want to use a stain brush.
Start at the inside, underside of your project – in the
hardest to reach place – and work your way outward. Trust me on this one – if the underside is
hard to reach, it will be even harder to reach when the rest of the project is
covered in wet stain!
Apply the gel stain liberally, working in sections. You will want to wipe off excess gel stain
after approximately 3 minutes.
So work fast, again over applying the stain
And flip the project over and apply stain to top sides.
Approximately 3 minutes after applying gel stain – more or
less depending on humidity, temperature and wind – begin wiping off excess gel
stain. If you have a larger project, it
is a good idea to have a second person wipe off excess gel stain while you are
still applying it.
Let Dry
Here's the hard part.
Wait a full 8 hours – or more depending on weather – for the stain to be
completely dry.
May I suggest sandwich bags and hair ties for keeping the brushes from drying out between coats?
Apply Second Coat
After the first coat of gel stain is completely dry, and
there are no tacky spots, we can add a second coat.
First mix your gel stain up again.
And then apply a second liberal coat over the first. After a few minutes wipe off excess and allow
the project to dry. For even deeper
color, you can add additional coats.
Let your project dry again. Gel stain is different than regular stain - if little saw dust particles or dirt blows on the finish, it's sticking. So make sure you protect your project until it dries to touch from dirt or debris - or bugs.

BUTTE — The Berkeley Pit may not be the most attractive spot in the world. But for the Butte-Silver Bow Chamber of Commerce, that's no reason not to spruce up the pit's main access point.
"This is where people start," Executive Director Marko Lucich said of the former open pit copper mine, which gets about 30,000 visitors per year. He wants to use that starting point to funnel those visitors toward the Uptown area and other tourist sites.
The Chamber acquired the site from Montana Resources 11 years ago and created Envision Butte, a nonprofit to operate the site. They started charging $1, then $2, for entrance, and have spent about half a million dollars on improvements so far.
The Chamber plans to spend about $30,000 to improve things like the peeling and faded trolley, bland and chipped tunnel entrance, aged viewing deck, lack of signage and unfinished landscaping.
Work will begin over the next few weeks on the entrance tunnel.

I also was pleased to see that they had not gone over the top with Lara with her boobs and the way she looks it also made the game real by how dirty she got and how much she screamed out in pain everything was just spot on i have not in joyed a game like this for a long time i was giving up on games because i got sick of war games but now i can not wait for the next TOMB RAIDER and i hope its made by SQUARE ENIX and team because theses guys and girls know what there doing.

3 SHOULD BE CALLED SHORTYPosted: 30/01/2013Great game but way way to short had to be one of the shortest games i have ever done this game has 8 levels and can easy be done in 5 to 6 hours i would not pay any more the three ponds for this game if your interested. Smooth game play and some good missions love the way you have to sneak around and do your kills and a BIG WARNING there is a lot of swearing in this game so not really for the young ones but had to love the way they had the balls to do this made a change really.Online is a waist of time no one is ever on so that says it all really.So if you do get the chance to pick this game up REALLY REALLY cheep then its worth a go and can be fun dont do not waist a lot on this game its just not worth it.
5 AMAZING HOME CINEMAPosted: 09/07/2012This Samsung Home Cinema is Amazing peace of Kit it's very easy to set up the menu's are great and easy to follow and set up.I t comes with wifi and has apps you can use you also brows the web.The speakers are slim and very sexy and have a great sound the 3D sound is out of this world and very clear you can also switch from 5.1 sound to 7.1 sound with one touch of a button the remote control is nice and slim and very easy to find the stuff you need.The is one pain about this dvd player is if you wont to go from HDMI 2 to HDMI 1 you do have to go right through the menu which you do by pressing the source button on the remote control which is very easy to find.This dvd player has a very clear picture even with normal dvd film as it up scales to 1080 and blue ray is out of this world.The amazing thing about this Home Cinema it comes with 2 HDMI in's so you can connect you HD sky plus you games console comes with 1 HDMI in but no scart which is no problem cause every thing HD now.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception PlayStation3 7 New from £10.48 Free delivery Available used from £4.93
4 3RD TIME LUCKY STILLPosted: 27/02/2012What a game all 3 games are out of this world.The reason for 4 stars is the out takes on the game get a bit on your nerves the story line is very good dont get me wrong but i feal that there is far to many cut seans in the game you just get into it and a cut sean will take over but still the game is great graphics are out of this world and the sound is brill.I found that the co op part of the online bit is far better then the muliplayer part the co op part is more intresting should i say very good loved it.But if you dont play online at all and it dont intrest you the game is still warth the buy its just great keep them coming and do not make them sorter and dont just make them all about online keep the game going strong.
5 TOP CLASS DISCSPosted: 03/01/2012I also have to say theses disc are just the best i have tried many other blank discs and always end up with dud ones but with verbatim i never do have that problam.if you back up your music then they are great for that as you get very clear sound with them and no crackerling sounds like i have had on other disc they are great for backing up your pictures to.
5 ONE OF THE BESTPosted: 05/12/2011This is one of the best christmas albums ever a must buy everything you wont on one album set go on buy or be a hum bug
4 TRUE BLOOD SERIOUSPosted: 02/03/2011This is put tograther very well its like watching a serious plus playing a game just love the way they recap the last game play at the start of the next leval the graphics are good and is a bit like playing residant evil but the controlls are not as easy to use the viewing is a little hard at times and could of been better and the game play is a bit all over the place but dont get me wrong this is a great game and is worth a shot cause once you get into it its really good but it is hard work.the only reason for 4 stars is because of the controlls they could of been better so this is not a game you can rush because if you do you will may be not get any where you have to plan your rout and the way your going to play the game this what makes it a good game hope this helps give it a go.
Medal Of Honor: Limited Edition PlayStation3 7 New from £11.62 Free delivery Available used from £2.98
5 MOH TOP GAME 100%Posted: 18/12/2010This game is not COD no its BETTER then that by far the graphics are much smoother and much much more clear the guns are much better to use they do not jump all over the place when you are trying to shoot some one.I love the way that you can choice to ear every one or just your friends on team speak much better idear.Im telling you if medol of honar keeps them coming out as great as this then COD will have to buck up there idears about making there games better in stead of just trying to make much money as possible.At this price you can not go wrong but i must say its better to buy this game bran new or you will have to kick out for the online reg to which is 7.99 cause if its second hand then its more likely its been used so you will have to pay the online reg.SO OVER ALL THIS IS A GAME THAT SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST.
4 Give it a chance then its a great gamePosted: 19/11/2010The bad hipe on this game is not far to me its people starting it can not do the controlls and then say its rubbish which to me is not far one bit.The game is not easy at first as the controlls are not easy. To start with as you have to move the controller up or down to move up or down also to move left or right you move the controller left or right so on and so on once you get use to thinking you have to move the controller and not the normal way you would play the game then it be comes a great gameThe Graphics are good and the story line is very intresting keeps you hooked the dragon you controll is very fast in responding your orders.I would give this game a 8/10the only reason for 8 ouf of 10 and 4 stars is the graphics could of been a little better and it says online but can not play online any more.So at this very cheep price new or old give it a chance before you bad hipe this game and your not be sorry.

Carole King
Long before her breakthrough album, Tapestry, burst on the scene (and stayed on the charts for six years), Carole King was one of the most notable songwriters to inhabit New York's fabled Brill Building. Her peers included such future luminaries as Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka (whose hit "Oh Carol" was composed in her honor), as well as Gerry Goffin, to whom she was married in the early '60s. Goffin and King were one of the most successful songwriting teams of all time, cranking out hit after hit, starting with The Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," and going on to such classics as The Drifters' "Up on the Roof" and Aretha Franklin's "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman." After moving to the West Coast in the late '60s, she became friends with singer/songwriter James Taylor, who encouraged her to pursue a solo career. The legendary Tapestry (1971) and its successful follow-up Music made her a household word; she continued to write and record prolifically through the '70s before moving to Idaho and working on environmental causes. She still works on various acting and musical projects; in 2002 she released Time Heals All Wounds.

No 1: Austrian Hymn
Movement 3: Moto Ostinato
Movement: Hungarian March
The end of June saw much ink spilled over whether the British or the Chinese organized the more spectacular fireworks to mark the handover of Hong Kong; Christopher Herrick's display on the Rieger organ of the HK Cultural Centre makes a third strong contender.
The organ has ninety-three speaking stops, and its 8,000 pipes are here unleashed on such gems as Elgar's Imperial March and the Hungarian March 'Rákóczi' from Berlioz's Damnation of Faust, here in a stunning arrangement by W T Best. The imperial theme is continued with such works as Paine's Concert Variations on the Austrian Hymn, and Reger's Variations and Fugue on 'Heil dir im Siegerkranz' (the tune being more recognizable, to English listeners at least, as 'God save the King').

Save all ancient woodland
Save all your favourite Woodland Trust content in one place.
Find out more about ScrapbookContrary to popular belief, ancient woodland is not fully protected.
The UK's ancient woodland is one of the few remaining living links to our past. It's the richest, most valuable habitat for wildlife we have, covering only around 2% of the land area, with unique ecosystems which provide a home to hundreds of rare and vulnerable species. It can never be replanted, recreated or replaced.
Thanks to a strong community campaign and pressure from the Woodland Trust, the largest single threat to an ancient wood in England that we have seen has been averted. But for how long?
A proposal to dig a 50 hectare quarry on historic Hopwas Wood in Staffordshire was withdrawn, following an outcry from local people and groups such as the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and the Friends of Hopwas Wood.
This result shows what an impact people can have by standing up for woods and trees and making their views known. This was not just an isolated threat - protection for all ancient woodland is currently weak. Hopwas was one of more than 400 ancient woods currently threatened across the UK.
Threats to ancient woodland are relentless. Loopholes in the planning system are allowing the economic case for development to eclipse the ecological, social and cultural value of ancient woodland. Add this to short-term thinking and careless disregard, and an already rare habitat is at risk of being lost forever.
Indeed the Communities and Local Government Committee recently recommended that the Government amend paragraph 118 of the National Planning Policy Framework to state that any loss of ancient woodland should be "wholly exceptional".
It's time to say "enough is enough!"
What's the problem?
1More than 440 ancient woods are under threat across the UK right now

In six years, Flying Lotus has released four albums, starting with 1983 leading to his newest, Until the Quiet Comes. Beginning with a foundation of electronic music and hip-hop, he's quickly evolved, digesting unique sounds and genres, blending samples, live music, and vocals to create something that you can't prepare for.
For those who listened to Cosmogramma, this is both an extension as well as a diversion. It certainly sounds different, yet songs like "Table Tennis" and "…And the World Laughs with You" could be slotted in a playlist and feel right at home.
"All In" opens the album and almost acts as a blueprint of how he makes music. In an interview on his Captain Murphy project, he spoke about how after talking with Odd Future's Hodgy Beats, he just went for it, as fear is not in his mind when he creates. Beginning with high hats, twinking bells, keyboards and a haunting background vocal, it's upbeat and a welcoming start to the album.
"Getting There" brings out the hip-hop with a punching beat with floating bells and the vocals of Niki Randala. It's not surprsing the way the album starts that later a song occurs called "Heave(n)"
One of the most interesting collaborations on this album is Erykah Badu, who contributes to "See Thru to U". A jungle beat with slithering bass guitar underscores Badu's vocals who sours above bouncing over them. The sensibilities of both Badu and Flying Lotus suggest that they were made for each other. On "Only if You Wanna", Flying Lotus contributes focuses on his jazz side, with fluttering base opening up to a bass guitar and light drums, this could be the ghost of a blue note song come back to haunt the world.
Until the Quiet Comes turned out to be his most atmospheric LP to date, and something he must have intended, with closing songs like "Dream to Me" and "Phantasm", the latter featuring the ethereal vocals of Laura Darlington. Once again, every Flying Lotus album so far has been exciting, watching his constant progression and evolution as an artist. His track record proves we'll be in for something different with each release.
I tried to get into this guy's last two albums, but as Prodigy would say, it's that crazy space shit that don't even make no sense
I liked his other albums, definitely gonna check this one out.
P.S. I assume you meant to say Erykah Badu "soars" above and not sours above.
Haha you fool. Of course prodigy would say that cuz he's a moron. And you're a moron too if you dont see that. Dont make no sense ? i guess you're talking about all the other def jux too. Might as well label anyone doing new styles "space shit". Prodigy fell off. Why do you care what he says anyway.
