The Marilyn K. Glick Center for Glass
The past five years have brought about significant campus transformations that demonstrate Ball State's mission to nurture vibrant living and learning environments. Visual arts students welcomed 10,000 square feet of creative space with the opening of
The Marilyn K. Glick Center for Glass
in fall 2010. Creating opportunities for students and reconnecting the community to its glassmaking heritage, this natural light-filled facility contains a classroom and undergraduate and graduate studios as well as faculty offices and photo documentation and exhibit areas. A visiting artist program, community outreach, and a biennial competition of art glass also are part of the university's overall plan for this new campus resource.
The university was abuzz in September 2007 when CBS
Late Show
host David Letterman, '69, arrived on campus to dedicate the David Letterman Communication and Media Building, a $21 million complex that supports four departments and houses
Indiana Public Radio
. The household name for late-night laughs has long been giving to the university, including the endowment of a scholarship bearing his name, since his first $10 pledge in 1976.
The 75,000 square feet of classrooms, faculty offices, and studio suites—including a $1 million postproduction complex—advance transformative learning experiences by providing access to the latest production and postproduction technology for students and faculty. In 2009, the facility was awarded an Emmy for technical achievement.
Expressing deep appreciation for David Owsley's significant donations over time, the university renamed its art museum the
David Owsley Museum of Art
as a lasting tribute to his leadership, service, and dedication to expanding the cultural horizons of students and faculty, the citizens of Muncie, and campus visitors from across the country. The museum, one of the nation's largest and oldest of its kind, will undergo a major expansion, with four new galleries opening in 2013—creating about 50 percent more gallery space to showcase its collection.
"I am greatly flattered and honored by the university naming the museum after me, and I hope to continue my long-standing interest in the museum of art," Owsley says. "It is gratifying to know that all of this is appreciated and used by students, Ball State's academic community, and the residents of Muncie and Indiana."

awesome dish. The whole Thanksgiving dish featured in this article is now our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The red currant glazed turkey with giblet gravy is unbelievable.
I should mention that I sauteed diced sweet onion in butter instead of using the pearl onions as I didn't have any at hand.
Made this for our Canadian Thanksgiving dinner last night - very tasty. Will make again. Lovely nutty flavour and appealing-looking. Everyone loved it.

Before we move forward, it's only fair that we take a look back at the 2010, the Year What Was...
Movie of the Year: Kick-Ass
Adam Barnett says:
Before I saw any comic-related movies, I had anticipated Iron Man 2 would walk away with the top spot. But there are two reasons it didn't: Kick-Ass was awesome, and Iron Man 2 was something of a letdown.
Since I'm probably going to get some dissenters in the comments, let me 'splain.
I didn't read the Kick-Ass mini prior to watching the movie. By the same token, I'm not a big Iron Man reader. So, I watched both movies with (as is often the case with most things in my life) no research done ahead of time.
Kick-Ass and Iron Man 2 both had great action sequences. Both were very well acted. In Kick-Ass, Chloe Moretz did an incredible job as the sweet-but-homicidal Hit Girl, while Nicolas Cage was clearly having the time of his life as Big Daddy. By the same token, Robert Downey Jr. did a fine job reprising his role as Tony Stark and Scarlett Johansson was an over-achieving standout as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2.
Where things split (and what made Kick-Ass a pleasant surprise and Iron Man 2 something of a letdown) was simply in the script. The first Iron Man was a lot of fun. It had humor, warmth, and a genuine sense of peril for the protagonist. In the second film, Tony Stark never really lost control of the situation and frankly, I was bored. It was a great exercise in CGI effects, to be sure, but the script of Iron Man 2 left me cold.
Conversely, the Kick-Ass movie actually had more characterization than the original source material. Yes, they should have left in the crucial info that (SPOILER ALERT) Big Daddy's origin was a total lie and he was really a bored accountant. But that notwithstanding, Kick-Ass was mesmerizing, while I actually nodded off during about fifteen minutes of Iron Man 2.

"My husband and I loved these little muffins. I doubled the recipe and am so glad I did. We kept a few out to eat and froze the rest to bring out later. Will definitely be making these again."
"This recipe tastes more like a mini crustless pecan pie than a muffin. Too bad that 4 of the 2 dozen I made broke when removing them from the pan so that I had to eat them!! Very, very good. I increased the recipe by 50% and got a full 2 dozen. I made these to take to a funeral dinner. I will make them again for Thanksgiving and Christmas."
"This was one of 3 biscotti recipes I made today. This recipe was excellent. I did not make it during the contest, because I could never find blood oranges. I used a mandarin orange which was sweet and juicy. I also used a tsp. of amaretta liqueur as I did not have any almond extract. I also had to cook this longer than the recipe called for - I i..."
"This was one of 3 biscotti recipes I made today. It was very good and sweet. The taste was more like a chocolate chip cookie. I do not have a convection oven and increased the first cooking by 10 minutes and the sides by 5 minutes each. We enjoyed it. Thank you for a good recipe!"
"We enjoyed this sandwich. We liked the blend of flavors. Raspberry was a nice addition. Did not like the after taste of the shallots however."
"Good recipe. However, did not excite us enough to want to repeat it. 1 1/2 lbs. was way too much meat if I cut it thin. It only fit in my skillet thicker, which skewed cooking times. We felt it was lacking somewhat in flavor."
"This is an excellent recipe! I cut my first muffin in half and ate half without the strawberry butter and the other half with it. It was good without it - but awesome with it! I was going to freeze some to take to a dinner in a week. That's not happening! We are eating this whole batch of 1 & 1/2 dozen. I'll have to make another batch in a week. T..."
"This was a marvelous recipe! It took 3 times as long for me to make as the directions indicated and I was tempted to rate it less than 5 stars because of that. But, we all liked it sooo much and already look forward to having it again and again - so I have to give it the 5 stars. Hopefully, I will get a little faster with practice in making it. I ..."

Here we are sitting on your living room floor
Listening to some records from your collection
Boredom; in between a coma and an erection
Staring at the skin on your shoulder blades
And you don't take your eyes off my poker face
I'm wasted, and your as sober as Jehovah
Knocking door to door, trying to walk to road
That the Mormon's paved
If she was here on your sofa with a beer on a coaster
She'd of told 'ya that my game was way over played
Make no mistake
I love the way you taste like yogurt and some clover cigarettes
Girl show me leg!
So I'ma gonna trade these shoes for rollerskates
And I'ma stay happy just as long as there is a whore to pay
But some of us already spent the rent
So we can't be content until there isn't no more today
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Those are your shoes
These are my shoes
We've got issues
[Vers 2]
My shoes are muddy girl, how about yours?
Here we are loungin' on your bedroom floor
I'm really drunk so I'm looking at your carpet like
Man, fuck the permit, I know where I'ma park tonight
It's closing time, the spins are gonna visit me
They're rolling thick like they know they taking victory
But not tonight, right, I'ma make some history
Get up in your system and direct it like a symphony
Let me get to be the man of your mystery
'Cause them meddeling kids don't understand your sensitivity
Show some sympathy
Let me kiss your feet
Let's talk about a pretty bird and a busy bee
If I live to see fifty, I'ma be a tipsy, dirty old man
Still following my kid beliefs
I know it isn't really your responsibility
So we'll be strait once I take a hit of Listerine
Those are your shoes
These are my shoes
We've got issues
[Vers 3]
I can't find my shoes girl, how about yours?
Here I am naked on your bathroom floor
I got faded, and you fell asleep
And I'm thanking God that this date was hella cheap
Sitting down, trying to keep the liquor down
Light, stars and sounds everything flickers now
Sick bound, the whole room twists around
In front of the toilet assume the position to drown
Here it comes! Whiskey out bounces all over the floor
Now I'm sitting in the bitches mound
I'm just a clown and I'm sorry I found it funny
When you tripped over my shoes and hit the ground
Didn't know you would rip your gown
Didn't think you would shout and get so loud, get so wound
Yeah I'm drunk, but I'm more than a little proud
I'm leaving, fuck the shoes you keep them, I'm getting out
Those are your shoes
These are my shoes
We've got issues

Taiwanese investigators say a Far Eastern Air Transport Boeing 757's unnecessarily fierce response to a traffic collision-avoidance system descent instruction injured 20 people on board, four seriously.
Three passengers suffered broken bones and a fourth was left unconscious by the sudden dive, which exceeded 12,000ft/min (60.9m/s) for a brief time and subjected the jet to forces ranging from negative 1.06g to positive 2.48g.
The 757 crew was responding to a conflict at 34,000ft (10,370m) with a Thai Airways Boeing 777-300 while descending toward Jeju, South Korea, on 16 November 2006.
Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council says the evasive action was "excessive" and a correctly executed standard TCAS descent, maintaining 1,500ft/min, would have sufficed. Although the 757's crew had illuminated the seat-belt sign shortly before the encounter, several passengers were still moving around the cabin.

Similar to unending arguments in popular culture (i.e., cats vs. dogs, paper vs. plastic, iPads vs. tablets), there is a divide as to whether email marketing is better than social media marketing. Let's compare the two. What channel comes out on top? That's up to you to decide.

You've probably heard the saying "less is more." Email is no exception to this rule. One ExactTarget study asked people why they unsubscribe from emails. The top reasons? Receiving emails too frequently and boring or repetitive content.
If you have a fantastic email subject line but the content stinks, you're just going to irritate the email recipient. It's like unwrapping a package with a beautiful bow that turns out to contain a box of nothing. People remember that.

Making Streetcars Real
The return of streetcars to a growing number of American (and European) cities is a good thing. New streetcar lines have brought development, increased use of public transport by the middle and upper-middle classes and new attention to the rise of inner cities.
If those of us who welcome streetcar and want to see their presence spread and move forward, we must do more than cheerlead. We must also look at what still needs to be done to return streetcars to the central role they once played in cities.
An article by Eric Jaffe, "Overall, U. S. Streetcars Just Aren't Meeting the Standards of Good Transit," published by Citylab on September 3, 2014, addresses some of the actions that need to be taken to make streetcars real transit. Mr. Jaffe identifies three shortcomings: the short length of streetcar lines, their slow speed – a function of the fact that most run in mixed traffic – and insufficiently frequent service. I think he is right on all counts.
As Jaffe notes, frequent service could help mitigate the problems of slow speeds or short lines. Both of those problems require long-term, expensive fixes. Running frequent service is not all that expensive. New Orleans' St. Charles Avenue line can afford to do it: it offers a car every 9 minutes during morning peak, every 8 minutes at midday and every 10 minutes at night, according to Jaffe's article. I have ridden that line a number of times and it almost exemplifies the old slogan of many streetcar systems, "Always a car in sight." That slogan sets the standard modern streetcar lines should aim for.
But as Jaffe notes, looking at streetcar systems opened since 2000,
"few U.S. streetcars run every 15 minutes, or four times an hour, which is generally considered the minimum standard for true show-up-and-go service that eliminates the need to check a schedule. Three systems (Little Rock, Salt Lake City and Tampa) never hit that mark. Two others (Dallas and Portland, Oregon) only hit it at one of three travel periods. The one (Seattle) that does meet the every-fifteen-minutes threshold at each period never exceeds it.
And again, that's the minimum standard. Good public transportation requires trains or buses to run every 10 0r 12 minutes, five or six times an hour. Only two streetcars (Tacoma and Tucson) hit this mark."
In all fairness, Little Rock and Tampa are clearly tourist-oriented services, Salt Lake City's Sugar House streetcar has been up and running for less than a year and Dallas was originally an all-volunteer operation that has just recently grown into a significant downtown circulator. Portland and Seattle should increase frequencies as those systems continue to expand and ridership grows.
For the reintroduction of streetcars to be a long-term success, they must once again perform the large role they had in our cities 100 years ago. That role is central to bringing the cities themselves back. If we content ourselves with lines a mile or so long, running infrequent service and running no faster than urban street traffic, streetcars will be nice to have but not all that important. So here's what we need to do in order of priority (and difficulty):
- Running streetcars at 10 minute intervals, at most; the goal should be "always a car in sight." That may require buying more streetcars, which are not all that expensive, and adding more passing loops, which cost a good deal more. But streetcars will not play the role in restoring our cites we want them to play if people can walk the line faster (including wait time) than they can ride it.
- Give streetcars traffic light pre-emption. This too does not cost much, but it significantly raises line speed. Ideally streetcars should get more right-of-way where they do not have to compete with cars; making downtown streets with streetcars in conjunction with pedestrianization can also spur retail sales and spur development.
- Once a successful starter line has shown the community what streetcars bring, start to build a system. A system has many lines, service all the important parts of the city. That costs a lot of money, but if FTA were to get serious about reducing construction costs if could cost less that it does now. If streetcars are to be more than a "ride," we need streetcars systems, not just streetcar lines.
I can and do endlessly lament the wonderful streetcar systems our cities had and threw away. We did not know it at the time, but we were also throwing away our cities. Their return must also be in tandem, because cities need streetcars. Cars are inimical to the city, and no one wants to ride a bus. For those of us who know what streetcars can do and once did, it's time to think big.

Lean Urbanism Needs Lean Rail Transit
A June 4 story in Bacon's Rebellion discussed a recent speech by Andres Duany, the founder of New Urbanism, calling a "lean urbanism." Duany noticed that in parts of Detroit, renewal is taking place not because of government but because there is less government. Speaking to the 22nd Congress on the New Urbanism (I have attended the CNU off and on since CNU III), Duany said, "When Detroit went bankrupt, they couldn't maintain the regulators." Freed of endless, stifling regulations and red tape – all of it both expensive and time-consuming to deal with – people simply went ahead and began to rebuild. The lesson Duany drew is that we need "to strip away all but the most essential regulations to encourage more urban re-development."
Duany is correct. We need "lean urbanism" that can produce and protect urban communities with less resources. Nothing soaks up resources faster or more uselessly than over-regulation, which is endemic in cities. But much of that over-regulation does not originate in cities themselves; it starts at the federal and state levels.
One of the regulatory burdens Duany referenced was ADA, the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. According to Bacon, "the last building he designed was so festooned with regulations, he (Duany) said he had to hire a consultant who specialized in handicap-accessibility code. That one set of requirements contains as many rules and specifications as the entire development code when he got started!"
Here we begin to see a tie-in with transit. ADA has proven the single most expensive, least useful mandate ever leveled on public transit. Serving a small number of disabled people takes a large chunk of transit systems' budgets, both capital and operating. Many of the special facilities ADA demands of transit systems are seldom if ever used. If something intended to serve the disabled is frequently used, including by people who are not disabled but nonetheless find it helpful, I'm all for it. But millions have been spent entirely uselessly.
ADA is only the beginning of expensive and generally useless over-regulation of transit. One environmental revue of a proposed project makes sense, but often multiple such reviews are required. FRA's outdated buffer strength requirements have greatly increased the cost of rail transit equipment, with no benefit. A single commuter train accident in California led Congress to mandate positive transit control for all railroads, at a cost in billions and with no technology yet available to do the job. The list is endless.
New urbanism, requires rail transit if it is to be successful. Streetcars are essential to cities. It is not coincidental that America's cities began to decline about the time the streetcar lines were being abandoned. Because no one likes riding a bus, substituting buses for streetcars made more people drive, which in turn led them to live and shop in distant suburbs rather than downtown.
In turn, lean urbanism requires lean rail transit. We need to be able to build streetcar and light rail lines much more cheaply if cities are to afford them. The problem is not technical; the technologies of the last 100 years ago worked fine, and were not expensive. Successful streetcar lines such as New Orleans' St. Charles Avenue line and San Francisco's F Market line still use standard streetcars of yesteryear, carrying respectively 15,000 and 20,000 people each workday.
Lean rail transit, like lean urbanism, requires deregulation, and it also requires an end to fascination with complex, expensive technology that is not needed. The goal should be streetcar lines built for not more than $10 million per mile and light rail built for not more than $20 million per mile. At those prices, what might be possible for Detroit and other cities trying to recover their past greatness? Now, they struggle to fund lines only a couple of miles in length. At affordable prices, they could rebuild the extensive streetcar systems they once had, systems to serve the whole city, some of it surface-separated and reasonably fast.
A marriage of lean urbanism and lean rail transit could do wonders. Can we get anyone in government to think about either?

Smart Growth for Conservatives
Smart Growth for Conservatives, a new initiative undertaken by James A. Bacon, distinguished conservative author and publisher of the popular Bacon's Rebellion (http://www.baconsrebellion.com/), is something we welcome. For conservatives, smart growth means recapturing good things from the past that our country has partially lost, namely traditional towns and neighborhoods as alternatives to sprawl suburbs.
There are three main reasons why we favor bringing back those older ways of living. First, as conservatives, we know old ways, ways that evolved over many generations of man's experience, generally work better than new ways. Conservatives are not ideologues. Rather we favor what has grown bottom-up, over time, and is embodied in customs, traditions, and habits. Until the post-war building codes were enacted, people were not so rigidly segregated where they lived from where they shopped or from where they worked, by distances too great to walk. It was a mistake to do so, as most departures from long-standing practices are mistakes.
Second, as conservatives, we prefer what is beautiful to what is ugly. Much sprawl development is ugly, especially automobile-driven "strip" development. When we compare what our country looks like today with what it looked like a hundred years ago, when the neo-classical City Beautiful was in full swing, it is obvious we have taken the wrong road instead of the right streetcar.
Third, conservatives place a high value on community, and traditional towns and neighborhoods foster community better than does suburban sprawl. Why do we desire community? Because traditional morals are better enforced by community pressure than by the clumsy and intrusive instrument of the law. But community pressure only works where there is community. If you do not know your neighbors, what do you care what they think? We want people to care what their neighbors think.
Smart growth for conservatives ties in closely with what this website advocates, namely better public transportation in the form of streetcars, interurbans (light rail) and passenger trains. Like towns and livable cities, these are good things from the past whose loss we lament. We want to bring them back.
How does conservative smart growth differ from liberal smart growth? It differs in two major ways. First, conservatives reject the Left's love of "diversity," mixing races, ethnic groups, income levels, and cultures in ways where everyone must live cheek-by-jowl. Why do we reject it? Because diversity undermines community. Communities form more easily where people are most similar. Community, for us, is far more important than any putative benefits from "diversity," benefits that seem entirely ideological in nature.
Second, while liberals strive for smart growth through more and more detailed government regulation (think Portland), conservatives want a free market on a level playing field.
The present near-universal sprawl codes radically tilt the playing field, because anyone who wants to build according to traditional neighborhood designs (TND), which we see as central to smart growth, must get a slew of variances to do so. One developer told me that to build one small TND project he had to obtain 150 variances. Each cost him time and money. This is not a free market situation.
The solution is simple: dual codes. A developer should be free to choose to what code he wishes to follow, a sprawl code or a TND code. He will decide on the basis of his estimation of the market. We are confident that many will choose the TND code, yielding smart growth. Why? Because most TND housing projects sell at a substantial premium over the same floor space in nearby sprawl developments. People like the old ways, and when they see them in the form of towns and neighborhoods, they want to be a part of them. They want to live there.
A few years ago, Paul Weyrich, Andres Duany (founder of the New Urbanism) and I co-authored a study titled, "Conservatives and the New Urbanism: Do We Have Some Things in Common?" Our answer was yes. I have been involved with New Urbanism from CNU III, because its essence is conservative: bringing back old ways. New Urbanism, in turn, is central to smart growth, which without New Urbanist influence can produce some ugly stuff. We don't want any "Khrushchyovkys" [Soviet-style, five-story apartment blocks], thank you.
Our study was published by Free Congress Foundation which may still have copies available, as may CNU. Meanwhile, here at The American Conservative Center for Public Transportation, we will return to the theme of conservative smart growth from time to time. The physical setting in which we live is a factor in influencing our culture, values and morals. We wish our friends at Smart Growth for Conservatives
(http://www.smartgrowthforconservatives.com) well as they make their mark in this fertile area.

I'm here,i keep checking back,but this place has become a ghost forum.I havn't painted anything for awhile,but hope to get back into it as soon as i get this sewing/craft/computor room weeded out and re-organized. Kathi |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Aug 28, 06 at 23:40
Hi Kathi, Glad you are still checking in. I know it is hard to find time for everything. Great that you have a room for your crafting--I use my laundry room counter top. Sure hoping that alot of the painters will start chiming in here again. I love to hear about what everyone is working on. I've checked out several of the forums, and Garden Junk really seems to be the most active so far. A lot of the GJer's are also painters--they have done some really nice projects. |
I just took someones advice and issued an invitation to Sweets98 who painted the screens that I liked so much. Went to her 'My page' and sent an email. I hope she'll come over and visit us and post some of her stuff. Doesn't hurt to ask I guess. ~Anj |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Fri, Sep 1, 06 at 20:32
Anj, Did you hear back from Sweets98? She used to be on the GJ forum too, but haven't seen her there for awhile. Have you checked out that forum too? It is so active and those ladies make some really neat things to put in their yards--so fun. Some of them are really good painters too. |
Hey~ yes, Garden Junk is where I started out. I check it, Trash2Treasure, Crafts, this forum and a couple of others every day to see what's new. I'm addicted. ha That's where I saw Sweets screens. I haven't seen anything from her on any of the forums for a while either. I see that a lot of the GJer's are great painters. Wish they'd visit here too. I've seen where several of them came here first, but saw no activity so posted there. Shame. ~Anj |

Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT) is the series of large diameter pipelines constructed from gas producing areas in the south of Iran (Kuzestan and Bushehr Provinces) in order to transfer natural gas to the consumption centres in northern part of the country.
As of 2008, there are five trunkline in operation, two under construction and two under planning.
ContentsIGAT1 was completed in October 1970, supplying the Southern Caucasus republics of the Soviet Union. In 1975 the National Iranian Gas Company concluded agreements with Ruhrgas, Gaz de France, the Soviet Union, and Austria''s OMV, to supply gas to Western Europe via a proposed IGAT II. Under the arrangement, Iran was to supply additional gas to the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Union was to pipe gas to Czechoslovakia from its own gas fields in Siberia. Construction of IGAT II halted following the Iranian Revolution.

Checkered Neon Chaos OTKs
Criminally bright and that's no joke. Bright checkered rows of color that create an almost hypnotising kaleidoscope effect of colors collected in a perfectly imperfect state of chaos.
Labels say US sock size 5-10, but they seem like the usual "one size" of women's socks and should fit shoe sizes 6-10 well.
23 inches from heel to top of cuff. Very good top stretch, though the cuff will stretch up to 20 inches we found they want to roll a bit, so if you're wearing them larger than 17 inches you may want to use sock glue or garters.
Additional Info:
*Because of their amazing variety, these are an assorted style with cuff colors in Yellow, Pink, Green and Black. The cuff color is repeated throughout the sock. If you have a preference, let us know in order notes and we will do our best to get you the pair you want.
Made in Japan.Fiber Content: 100% nylon. Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.
Label: Tabbisocks
Dearest Sock Dreams: Received my package of fabulous socks and tights and just had to give you all a big thank you! LOVE the watermelon stripes, and the cable knit socks are so comfortable. Thanks again for fueling my addiction to your socks!

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, "Tell the priests, Aaron's sons: None of you should become unclean by touching one of your relatives who has died. | 1 The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: 'A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die, |
2 However, you are allowed to become unclean when one of your nearest relatives dies. These relatives include your mother, father, son, daughter, or brother, | 2 except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother, |
3 and especially an unmarried virgin sister who is still close to you. | 3 or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband--for her he may make himself unclean. |
4 As the head of your people, you should never become unclean. That would make you unholy. | 4 He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, and so defile himself. |
5 "You should never mourn by shaving bald spots on your heads, shaving the edges of your beards, or slashing your bodies. | 5 " 'Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the edges of their beards or cut their bodies. |
6 "Be God's holy men, and don't dishonor the name of your God. Be holy because you bring sacrifices by fire to the LORD. It is the food of your God. | 6 They must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because they present the offerings made to the LORD by fire, the food of their God, they are to be holy. |
7 You should never marry prostitutes, those who have lost their virginity, or divorced women because a priest is God's holy man. | 7 " 'They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God. |
8 Be holy because you offer the food of your God. Be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I set you apart as holy. | 8 Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of your God. Consider them holy, because I the LORD am holy--I who make you holy. |
9 When a priest's daughter dishonors herself by becoming a prostitute, she dishonors her father. She must be burned. | 9 " 'If a priest's daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire. |
10 "The priest who is anointed with oil and wears the chief priest's clothes is chief over his brothers. He must never mourn by leaving his hair uncombed or by tearing his clothes. | 10 " 'The high priest, the one among his brothers who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and who has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair become unkempt or tear his clothes. |
11 He must never go near any dead bodies or become unclean, even for his father or mother. | 11 He must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even for his father or mother, |
12 He must not leave the holy tent of his God. If he does, he will be dishonoring it, because he is dedicated with the anointing oil of his God. I am the LORD. | 12 nor leave the sanctuary of his God or desecrate it, because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the LORD. |
13 "The anointed priest must marry a virgin. | 13 " 'The woman he marries must be a virgin. |
14 He must never marry a widow, a divorced woman, a woman who has lost her virginity, or a prostitute. He may only marry a virgin from his own people. | 14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people, |
15 He must not dishonor his children among his people because I, the LORD, set him apart as holy." | 15 so he will not defile his offspring among his people. I am the LORD, who makes him holy. ' " |
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, | 16 The LORD said to Moses, |
17 "Tell Aaron: If any of your descendants (now or in future generations) has a physical defect, he must never bring food to offer to God. | 17 "Say to Aaron: 'For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. |
18 Indeed, no one who has a physical defect may ever come near [the altar]. That means anyone who is blind or lame, who has a disfigured face, a deformity, | 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; |
19 or a crippled hand or foot, | 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, |
20 who is a hunchback or dwarf, who has defective sight, skin diseases, or crushed testicles. | 20 or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. |
21 If a descendant of the priest Aaron has a physical defect, he must never bring sacrifices by fire to the LORD. He has a defect. He must never bring food to offer to God. | 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. |
22 He may eat the food of his God--what is holy and what is very holy. | 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; |
23 However, he must never come up to the canopy or to the altar, since he has a physical defect. He must never dishonor the holy places because I, the LORD, set them apart as holy." | 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.' " |
24 So Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites. | 24 So Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites. |

Anywhere you can find women, you can find people trying to control women's reproductive capabilities. I write a lot on The Frisky about attempts to deter women from having abortions. But in parts of Asia, there's a problem that's quite different: fertile women acting as surrogates who are kept in farm-like conditions for "baby breeding." Recently, 14 Vietnamese women, including seven who were pregnant, were rescued from an "illegal and inhuman" baby breeding facility in Thailand. Keep reading »

For the first time in more than 25 years, Jim Bakker broadcast his television program today from the studios of the former Heritage USA.
These days, the former head of Heritage USA, a Christian theme park that included TV studios as well as a Main Street with shops and other attractions, typically broadcasts his show from Missouri. But he returned to Fort Mill this week for Restoration Celebration, a series of broadcasts from his former stomping grounds. Events earlier this week have been by invitation only, but according to jimbakkershow.com, todays broadcast was streamed live on the website at 10:30 a.m. from the former Heritage USA studios.
This week, Bakker has also recorded his show from The Barn and at the Upper Room at the former Heritage USA site.
Cathy McGee of Greensboro brought her mother, Hazel Poe, to the Upper Room Wednesday for a live broadcast of the show. Poe was a former supporter of PTL and still supports Bakkers ministry in Missouri. She received an invitation by mail to attend, and she said, We have to go! McGee said.
According to the website, Bakker was joined at the Upper Room by Rick Joyner, head of Morningstar Ministries, and Cindy Jacobs, whom Bakker refers to as a "prophet," and Sara Morgan, the first person to buy a house on the Heritage PTL property.
Morningstar Ministries acquired much of the former Heritage USA property, including Bakker's unfinished tower that is now a bone of contention with York County.
The Upper Room was originally opened by Bakker in the 1980s. It was designed to replicate the Upper Room the place where Jesus is said to have had his last supper with his disciples and functioned as a 24-hour prayer center, with a bank of prayer phones manned around the clock. It was renovated and reopened in Dec. 2010.
Jim, you were the father of the ministry that remains on this property. Theres a heritage here and we think you were a great Father and we are honored to have you back here, Joyner said during the broadcast at the Upper Room on Wednesday, according to Bakkers website.
There is no one who is beyond the restoration of Jesus, he said.
Heritage USA and Bakker were immersed in scandal, which led to the eventual downfall of both. Bakker was discovered to have paid off then church secretary Jessica Hahn to cover up a sexual encounter and was later convicted on federal fraud charges.
Bakker was released from prison in 1994.
In addition to his religious message, Bakkers current ministry also focuses on selling products, including vitamins, Bread of Life, and Jims Favorite Soynut Butter.

I bought this plant from Logees last Fall, and it is now flowering. Only 1 flower but the whole livingroom is scented with a penetrating cataloupe perfume. Very fragrant!

Beautiful Kemistry... It is very intense fragrance, I agree!! |
Yup Radha. The scent sure was intense. Sadly for me, it was there only for a few hours, but that nice cantaloupe scent was worth the wait. :) |
Nice photography, kem. Beautiful flower, too. |

You egg magnolia needs a bit more sun. Mine growing a lot more compact than yours. I have mine behind a frost glass (60%) on a south facing window. The leaves should be a very hard leathery feeling. The trick to this magnolia is organic fertilizer and moderate sun. It doesn't even mind low humidity. Mine not even have the black tips even in winter. This plant has massive root system. |
Thanks all for your comments. This plant is indeed nice, but I still prefer m. alba for its long lasting fragrance. |
Hi Kemistry! WOW CONGRATS ON THE BLOOM!!!!! Good job taking care of it. :D I'm really so excited to see this. It's such a beautiful flower and lovely color too. And nice to hear it smells so good. Thanks for the tips. :)) |
Musaboru!! I haven't seen you around here for a while. What are currently blooming for you? Are you growing any new plants this year? :) |
It's nice to be back. My egg magnolia still hasn't bloomed yet. The only thing I have blooming right now is Alba. These are fresh picked. :) I'm quite content right now with the varieties I have now. If anything, |
Love those tropical magnolias, I thought about getting the egg magnolia this year. Musaboru, if you ever run across a U.S. source for some of those Thai hybrids . . . count me in! |

Kim Kardashian Must Be Living In The Gym, Because Her Post-Baby Body Is Banging
Alongside her friend Blac Chyna, Kim posted the pics to Instagram yesterday post-workout. She included the personal message, "Getting right for the new year."
I'm assuming there were squats involved in there somewhere.
Kim and her fiancé Kanye West welcomed their daughter North West this past June and it appears that Kim wasted no time getting back into the gym to knock off that pesky baby weight. The thing is, we all assumed Kim would be in the gym as soon as humanly possible. What we want to see now is a wedding dress Ms. Kardashian.
