What's this?
The American Curl gained CFA acceptance and has purred its way into the hearts of judges and cat lovers all in a short time. The Curl originated in June 1981, when a spontaneous genetic mutation produced the breed's signature backward-curling ears. By 1986, two of the largest cat registries recognized the breed. This whimsical feline can be found in longhair and shorthair varieties and a rainbow of patterns and colors.

During the horrific 10 years that Amanda Berry was held captive in an Ohio basement, she gave birth to a precious daughter. Miraculously, both mother and daughter escaped on May 6, and are recovering in a local hospital.
Amanda Berry's chilling 911 call on May 6 led to her rescue and the rescue of two other young women held captive for a decade, Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32. As they escaped Ariel Castro's frightening basement, Amanda, 26, held on to the hand of a young girl — and it was revealed the child was a daughter she gave birth to while in captivity.
Amanda Berry Gave Birth To Daughter In Captivity
Amanda's relatives confirmed that she in fact gave birth to a daughter while she was being held against her will. The little girl is believed to be around age six. Authorities haven't revealed who fathered the child, but it's clear she was conceived during the 10 years Amanda was kidnapped.
At least five babies were born at the house, while one of the victims suffered as many as three miscarriages because she was so malnourished, police sources say. It is unknown what happened to the children who were born at the home.
Amanda's Frightening Kidnapping & Heroic Escape
Amanda went missing on Apri 21, 2003, a day before her 17th birthday. She disappeared after calling her sister to tell her she was getting a ride home from her job at Burger King.
On May 6, Amanda and the two other women in the house screamed for help once they were left alone by Ariel Castro, 52, who lived in the home. The screams alerted neighbor Charles Ramsey, who was eating dinner, and he went over to the house to find the women alone in the basement. He brought the women over to his house, and called 911.
Amanda Berry Calls The Police
After escaping the home, Amanda called police and told them she was being held captive in a house on the city's West Side and that Gina was with her.
"Help me I'm Amanda Berry. I need police. I've been kidnapped. I've been missing for 10 years," Amanda said on her 911 call. "I'm Amanda Berry. I've been in the news for the last 10 years."
Ariel Castro was arrested. Amanda, her daughter and Gina were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. They are reportedly suffering from severe dehydration and were slightly malnourished, but in "fair condition," according to Dr Gerald Maloney, an emergency physician. The FBI and police will interview the women when they are discharged, a detective said.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Isn't this story shocking?

As a pastor, you need to be able to put together projects efficiently and effectively. Whether you are starting a new church, planning a new ministry, opening a new building – or just preparing for next weekend's services, you need to mobilize people on a common task. That's leadership in a nutshell.
When Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to help rebuild the city's wall, he had a monster project on his hands. How he tackled that project provides us with seven key principles for getting things done —
1. The principle of simplification
Nehemiah kept his plan simple. He didn't randomly assign jobs; he didn't create a whole new organization; and he didn't force any complex charts.
He organized around groups already associating together, such as the priests, the men of Jericho, and the sons of Hassenaah. The point is: don't create an organization if you don't need it. If an organization already naturally exists, try to work through it and with it.
Sometimes a new leader comes into a situation, and the first thing he does is start changing the whole organization. Think: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Strong organizations are often the simplest ones.
2. The principle of participation
It's a pretty simple rule: work with those who want to work. Amazingly, a lot of leaders never learn this principle. They spend all their time trying to corral the lazy and the apathetic, instead of working with those who want to work. I call that corralling goats.
Nehemiah got almost everybody involved in the building of the wall. He had the clerics, the goldsmiths, the perfume makers – men and women, city and country folk. Everybody was moving bricks and making mortar.
But there was one exception. "Next were the people from Tekoa, though their leaders refused to help" (Neh. 3:5 NLT). Nehemiah's response was to ignore the shirkers.
In every situation you're going to have workers and shirkers. Nehemiah just ignored the latter and focused on those who were willing to work. He didn't lose sleep, get bitter, or waste time trying to corral them. If you're a leader, don't worry about people who don't want to get involved. Focus on those people who want to get involved.

Matcha Cookies with Almond
Matcha cookies with almond – buttery and crumbly Japanese matcha (green tea) cookies with almond. Super easy matcha cookies recipe that anyone can make.
When I posted the Matcha Roll recipe, I received a few requests from readers asking me to share more green tea (matcha) recipes. Matcha as an ingredient in baking has become increasingly popular, especially for people who are partial to Japanese cuisine. I personally love matcha: its powdery texture, earthy fragrance and aroma, and the subtle nuance it lends to the key ingredients, for example: matcha ice cream, matcha rolls, and in this case, matcha cookies.
So, when you are in the mood of making cookies and wanted to dress up your cookies with a little something, I strongly recommend adding matcha to your recipe. Just a tablespoon of the magical green powder and your cookies will taste so much different, and better. For my matcha cookies recipe, I kicked it up a notch by adding some almond slices. The end result is two dozens of gorgeously baked green-color matcha cookies that are supremely buttery, flaky, yet crunchy with the almond. They are perfect nibbles on warm summer days, perhaps with some matcha ice cream on the side.
Do you use Matcha in your baking? If so, I would love to learn from you. If you have savory recipes for Matcha, please also share your ideas by commenting below. Thank you!

These look so yummy!
These look chunky and delicious. Love the almond flakes too! Does the matcha give a powdery "taste" in the cookies?
These look amazing! I love Almond Cookies and anything made with Matcha! Do you have a suggestion for making them gluten free?
I haven't tried gluten-free for this recipe yet. I know some recipes substitute all purpose flour with chestnut flour, but may need some adjustments to the recipe. Hope this will help.
would like to try the recipe. can u pls advise what is long saran wrap. any alternative to use instead of this saran wrap. thks
I changed the saran wrap to plastic wrap in the steps. You can use any types of plastic wrap, saran wrap, food wrap or cling wrap. You will need approximately 22″ in length to wrap the log shaped dough for freezing.
You can also work and roll the dough to form the log shape on the plastic wrap itself before wraping it. Will leave less mess on your hands. When the log shape is formed, roll the plastic wrap around it and twist both ends tightly.
you have a very beautiful blog. All the pictures are drool worthy. You are truly an inspiration:).Never tried using matcha…this is interesting:)
Bee is the better one stick mean one block of the butter about 250gm? or just half? Thx
Hi Joan,
One stick of butter is equivalent to 1/4 of a pound (454g), which mean is approximately 113.5g. Slightly less than half the block of 250g butter.
I was wondering what brand of macha powder that you recommend using?
Hi Mary,
For this recipe, I used Maeda-en from Japan. This is culinary quality matcha powder.
i love the idea of adding almond slices. matcha is one of my favorite ingredients to bake with – i add it to cupcakes in place of vanilla, biscotti (with white chocolate chips), shortbread and most recently – donuts! the recipe is here: http://hellolisanne.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/matcha-green-tea-donut-holes/
Those look lovely. I've used matcha in biscotti with almonds but not much else. I'll have to broaden my usage of it.
This recipe is wonderful! But somehow I had made 12 cookies instead of 24, and I had followed the recipe instruction exactly…
May I know how big or wide were your cookies? It all depends how thick the log (usually I roll mine at 1.5″ diameter) and the cookie (at 1/4″ inch thick). I get between 24 +/- 2 cookies (~1.5″ wide).
I found when I made this recipe that the cookies came out a strange cross between cookie and frosting. They weren't at all the crumbly looking cookies in the pictures. I decided to instead find a good shortbread recipe and add the matcha and almonds to that. The only big difference is that this recipe calls for powdered sugar instead of FINELY GRATED SUGAR.
Hi, can I find out what is the weight of 1 stick unsalted butter?
It is about 4oz/113g.
hi rasa, i'm a fan of your adventurous attitude! I fell in love with both Matcha and Polvorones (Mexican Wedding cookies) this past year so I created a recipe for Green Tea Pistachio Polvorones with Green Tea White Chocolate Truffle filling! Here is a link w/ photos:
Pingback:Matcha almond cookies |
I tried making these and they came out all melted and flat :( I'm not sure what I did wrong.
Where can I get Japanese green tea powder? Everywhere I go, they seem to have only the tea leaves!
Thank you very much to share very nice recipe. I reached to your recipe because my kid requested Matcha Cookies for her teacher. I baked it last night. The result is very good. Anyway, I made mistake by getting almond powder and put it to cookies batter but the result is good. You can try.
For anyone got melted and flat cookies, recommend to chill it before baking.
1/2 cup powdered sugar is it the same as icing sugar?
Hi Bee,
Will I be able to bake this using a grill and convection oven? Thanks.
Hi, I was wondering where did u buy maeda en matcha. Been looking in adding spore, but couldn't find any. Anyway, I'm based in Indonesia. Your site is very inspiring. Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks
I baked a batch of these matcha cookies using better than batter gluten-free baking mix. they were fabulous. I used slivered almonds instead of sliced and it was still fine. I didn't have culinary macha powder so I used ceremonial grade quite expensive but even though you get a very strong matcha flavor almost a bitter aftertaste. I'm wondering if you would attribute this to the quality of the matcha I used. please let me know what you think. overall a very nice cookie I might add a little icing sugar on top

Dennis Phillips, Poker Biography
by Jennifer Newell
Dennis Phillips was born in 1955 in the St. Louis metropolitan area in Missouri. He was born and raised in the Midwest United States, and he worked for a living for many years of his adult life as an account manager for a commercial trucking company in St. Louis called Broadway Trucks.
Poker was a longtime hobby for Phillips, and he often spent his leisure time at the casinos in and around the St. Louis area. He played low limit poker and only dabbled in the occasional tournament when his bankroll allowed. For example, in 2007, he spent a bit of his vacation time on a trip to Tunica, Mississippi, where he competed in the World Series of Poker Circuit series. His performance there was admirable, as he made the final table of the $500 no-limit hold'em tournament and finished in ninth place for $2,386, and he followed that up two days later with a seventh place finish in another $500 NLHE event for $2,192. He discovered that he not only enjoyed the competition but that he had the skills to make more money from his endeavors, though he continued to work his day job and had no idea where his poker abilities would eventually take him.
Phillips had long wanted to play in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, so when the opportunity to compete in a satellite tournament at his local Harrah's Casino in St. Louis arose in the spring of 2008, he didn't hesitate to compete. He played in a $200 satellite and won his entry into the $10,000 buy-in WSOP Main Event, the biggest and most prestigious NLHE tournament in the world.
He headed to Las Vegas in the summer of 2008 to play in that Main Event, and he continued to run well throughout the tournament. And after numerous days of action, he was one of the nine final table players that was to take a four-month break after cashing for the minimum of nearly $900K. He and his opponents departed Las Vegas in July but returned in November to compete for the first semi-live ESPN broadcast of the final table as the chip leader. Along with him was a sizable crowd of friends and family, all wearing Phillips' signature trucking company shirt and St. Louis Cardinals red baseball cap. The Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio in Las Vegas was alive with support for the everyman, and he ended up finishing the tournament in third place, which was worth a payout of $4,517,773.
Phillips turned his third place finish into a poker career. Though he initially claimed that he would return to work no matter the outcome of the 2008 tournament, opportunities arose for him in the poker world, and he found that he truly enjoyed the tournament circuit. He also took on a sponsorship from PokerStars, which allowed him to play online as well as in live events around the world to represent the site. The responsibilities and joys of poker were just beginning for Phillips, and he quit his job to concentrate on it.
It was in 2009 that Phillips began to travel more often, starting the year with the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas, and he cashed in the $4,800 NLHE tournament there, taking home $19,100 for the 17th place finish. He also finished in tenth place in a preliminary event at the Latin American Poker Tour's tour stop in Punta del Este in Uruguay. In April, he was in Las Vegas for some tournaments and won a $500 buy-in NLHE tournament that was part of the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza, and the win paid $36,496. But the tournament that garnered the most attention that summer was the WSOP Main Event, where he aimed to make a second final table. Though he wasn't able to accomplish that goal, he went deep, and out of 6,494 players, he finished in a very respectable 45th place for $178,857. And months later, he final tabled the European Poker Tour London high roller tournament and finished in seventh place for nearly $100K.
While 2010 has yet to produce the caliber of results seen in 2009, Phillips did start the year with a grand performance at the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship, where he played in the $20,000 buy-in tournament and ended up finishing in third place for $125,000.
While Phillips continues to play the live tournament circuit, he has also become an avid supporter of a number of charities and plays in charity tournaments whenever the opportunity arises. Many of the events he has attended have been in St. Louis, and he was even recognized by the St. Louis Cardinals by being asked to throw out a pitch at a home game at Busch Stadium, something that meant a great deal to Phillips. He remains an affable, friendly face in events around the world and looks to add more poker accomplishments as his career seems to be in its beginning stages.
Read Dennis Phillips's Profile for more information including his tournament results and total winnings.Jennifer Newell is a freelance writer, originally from St. Louis but now living in Los Angeles. She fell in love with poker while working at WPT and began writing about it in 2005.

GM debate must be science-led, says MEP
AN MEP has urged the European Parliament to dismiss 'dogmatic politics' in favour of science when formulating policy for genetically modified (GM) technology.
George Lyon, Liberal Democrat MEP for Scotland, spoke in the European Parliament this week in response to the European Commission's proposal to allow Member States to unilaterally ban, restrict or permit commercial cultivation of GM crops.
Mr Lyon, who is drafting the European Parliament's response to the Commission, warned the Commission proposal could allow politics to run the debate.
"Decisions on new technologies such as GMs should only be based on scientific advice.
"The danger with this proposal is that it would allow Member States to ban cultivation for political reasons.
"Without the bedrock of scientific advice to anchor decisions, you risk setting a dangerous precedent in choosing what is popular over what is safe.
"Consumers have genuine fears which need to be addressed by politicians, not exploited for political gain.
"I have serious reservations about the Commission's approach to this issue and the agriculture committee will have to come to a decision to either reject the proposal or improve it through amendments," he said.

So, the highly anticipated adaptation of Cloud Atlas, starring the atrociously estimable Tom Hanks and the estimably atrocious Halle Berry. (Both made-up to various degrees of believability throughout.)
An extended six-minute trailer released a little while back caused huge waves. I watched that, entranced by the visuals but having little idea of what was going on. Now that my friend has declared it one of the best books he's ever read I'm going to try and devour the literary source material before the March release date – meaning that I'm trying to avoid any and all spoilers.
Fortunately this more compact glimpse still leaves me relatively in the dark – though it does indicate that the Wachowskis (The Matrix, Speed Racer) are very much back with a bang (handling directorial duties for this alongside Tom Twyker). However, could their stylistic leanings come at the expense of the source material's intellectual worth? (Release date: March 22)
Killing Them Softly sees Brad Pitt and Andrew Dominik reteam following 2007's brilliant and criminally underrated The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
Since that brooding and beautiful western's one of my favourite films of all time it's fair to say expectations for their latest are high in MacLennan Villas, though this seems a very different sort of beast indeed, with Pitt starring as a professional enforcer investigating a heist that occurred during a mob-protected poker game.
Appearing to be more dry, witty and pertinent (alluding to today's global economic fiasco), if this is even a smidgeon as excellent as Dominik's last film then we're in for a great time. (Release date: September 21)
Oh, and speaking of superb directors, here's broody French auteur Jacques Audiard, and I'll be darned if he isn't back with new film Rust and Bone in tow. Bravo, sir, bravo.
His last movies A Prophet and The Beat That My Heart Skipped were both breathtaking, and he's teamed up with Marion Cotillard for this emotive tale of a whale trainer who suffers a terrible accident. Again, this could be something special, as long as you don't go in expect Free Willy 6: Willy Goes To Disneyland Paris but throws a wobbler when they try to charge him full price. (Release date: November 2)
Finally: BIKES. LOTS OF BIKES.
Don't you just love bikes! The thrill! Pedals! Woooosh! Wheels! Zoooooooooom!! Zigzagging in and out of traffic, as you get chased by criminals!!! Wowzzzzzzaaaa!!!!!
Though that last part of the equation probably only happens if you're Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Premium Rush, who plays a hip bike messenger in New York being chased for his mysterious yet strangely alluring package. But who wouldn't want his package? Don't we all want that glorious-looking package of his? You'd love to see his package, just admit it. (Yep. Yep.)
Anyway, the plot looks thin, but the hurtling action might be worth the price of attendance. (Release date: this Friday)

Report: Yahoo layoffs hit Flickr
Three are let go from Flickr, including George Oates, who came up with the original, minimalist design for the popular, Yahoo-owned photo-sharing community.
The Guardian is reporting that George Oates, along with two others on the Flickr team have been let go as a part of this week's Yahoo layoffs . Oates was one of the first employees at Flickr before its acquisition by Yahoo in 2005, and more notably its former chief designer.
Flickr, along with its Yahoo sister site Delicious, are well known for having a minimal, and angular user interface. Oates was a big part of that. After her stint as Flickr's chief designer, Oates moved on to become a senior program manager where she headed up Flickr's Commons project.
Oates has made no confirmation of the move on her personal blog or Flickr profile page, however former Yahoo Personals product manager Susan Mernit is confirming the news.

This paper examines the relationship of migration and mobility of husband and wife to sexual risk behaviors among married men living in economically marginal communities in Mumbai, India. Non-migrant men reported significantly more often than the migrant men that they had one or more sex partners other than their wives in the last year. Further, men with occupational mobility reported significantly more often than the men who were not mobile that they had one or more non-spousal sexual partners in the last 1 year. Married men living in Mumbai with wives residing in their area of origin and who reported occupational mobility had the highest sexual risk behaviors, controlling for socio-demographic characteristics and migration. Interventions aimed at prevention of HIV among men require special focus on both migrant and non-migrant men with greater occupational mobility, with particular emphasis on migrant men whose wives have remained in their pre-migration home areas.

Four Awesome New Posters For 'Horrible Bosses'
Posted on Thursday, May 19th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
The summer of 2011 is looking pretty solid when it comes to comedies. Bridesmaids is already something of a hit, we know The Hangover Part II is going to be a monster and with the recent releases of trailers for films like 30 Minutes Or Less, Friends With Benefits, Crazy Stupid Love, Bad Teacher, The Change Up and Horrible Bosses, maybe this summer will be remembered less for its loud explosions and leotards and more for its laughs.
Out of all of those films, though, arguably the one with the most pre-release buzz is Horrible Bosses. The trailer was an almost universal hit and people who've seen test screenings of the film say it lives up to the hype. Now, with the release of these eye-catching and clever posters, even more people are going to start getting excited about the film which stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day as three friends who conspire to kill their "horrible bosses" played by Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey. Directed by Seth Gordon (The King of Kong), it'll be released July 8. Check out the posters after the jump. Read More »

The story of Weller's Men's Wear's successful rise began with a commitment. From the outset, the firm made a commitment to offer Sedalia's largest selection of quality menswear and footwear at the lowest possible everyday prices. Over the years, Weller's has remained true to that promise.
Another reason for Weller's success has been their steadfast dedication to customer satisfaction." Indeed, they like to believe that they're actually in the "people business;" they only "happen" to sell top-quality clothing. and shoes. This commitment to customer satisfaction is also the reason Weller's offers custom alterations to any garment they sell.
Owner Ken Weller is dedicated to continuing the values his father, Don, instilled in him; never forgetting the importance of the relationships you foster with your customers. Weller's continually strives to provide them with everything they expect: top quality, outstanding selection, superior customer service and everyday low prices. These are the reasons they have been successful for over 60 years.

Mitsu Amai is this cute little lady whom we've featured on the site before. This is her second appearance and I'd have to say a bit of a standout one with her dressed all studiously in her glasses and conservative style for her violin lessons. And being the naughty little woman that she is she is quick to abandon all the uppityness for the photographer who shows us this hot Asian nerd girls wild side.

News Roundup: Original Signal, Google Mobile, eJamming
News from around the Web for Wednesday, March 28, 2007.
- Original Signal rolls out meme tracker. The single-page aggregation service has added a new front page to their Web section. The page displays the top 10 most popular stories at any given time. The new service uses an algorithm that decides when a story is worthy of being on the front page without any additional user interaction required beyond browsing the site. Something similar was done with Spotplex, which we checked out last month.
- eJamming launches. The virtual garage for musicians to 'jam' in different geographical locations launched their AUDiiO service this morning. The app has versions for both Windows and Mac OS X, and is free during the testing period. Previous coverage here.
- Google updates mobile search. Google has simplified and optimized search results for fewer clicks while using the mobile version of the search engine. They've also added location memory, so you don't need to reenter what area you're searching in. What may be the neatest addition is a personalized version of Google's mobile homepage, which can be set up with your favorite tools or services.
- Museum takes a cue from Flickr. Web services such as Flickrand Gmailhave pioneered the use of tagging, making it easier to sort through large collections of pictures and words. Taking a cue from this movement, museums are beginning to add tags to pieces of art with description-based words. Steve, a collaborative research project, offers free open-source software for them to get started. The goal is to make collections easier to sort through for people who can't remember the name or creator of a work of art. (CNET News.com)
- Adobe Remix goes live. Adobe's free Web-based video-editing tool is now available to all Photobucketusers. The tool, which we covered last month, lets Photobucket users string together and edit video clips taken from their digital cameras. Since our hands-on, Photobucket teamed up with PumpAudioto provide more music tracks to add to videos. The company also redesigned their front door earlier in the month, placing more emphasis on user photos.

(Note: A permanent page about this is here.)
I've been filtering the full CPAN uploads feed for a few days now and posting the highlights to our CPAN Watch blog. I thought I'd take this opportunity to publicise a few tips on how to get your module listed on CPAN watch.
- Include a Changes file. It can be named Changes, CHANGES, ChangeLog, or anything of the kind, just as long as it exists.
- Document the changes for each release. I can't tell what's changed if you don't tell me.
- Put your change log in reverse chronological order. This makes it easy to see the most recent change.
- Give me an easy headline by listing the most significant changes first.
- Be specific. Don't just say "bugfixes", tell me which bugs in particular.
- Make me go to an external website or Subversion repository to find out what's changed.
- Refer to "improvements", "new features", or "bugfixes" without explaining what they are.
- Leave your Changes file completely empty. (Yes, I've seen this!)
- Release a list of your Subversion commit messages as a change log.
If you follow these guidelines, I'll read your change log and try to determine whether your release is "significant". This is a bit of a fuzzy judgment, but here are some of the guidelines I use:
- New features added
- Major bugfixes
- Breaking backward compatibility
- Many changes grouped together, even if each is individually small
- First release of a major module in some time
- New release of something that looks to be of broad interest and usefulness
- Documentation/packaging/test changes
- Internals-only changes, refactoring, etc.
- Small changes (eg. one small bug fixed)
- Developer releases
- Unauthorized releases
I hope this will help clarify what criteria I use for CPAN Watch. Not surprisingly, these are the same sorts of things potential users of your module look for as well. As time permits, I'll be automating some of this process, so it will be increasingly important for distributions to document their changes in a way I can pick up programatically.

A few months ago I started jotting down some random thoughts for a screenplay I'm writing. Right now I'm calling it "Thin Little Line", and since I began writing it, it has expanded into quite a 'multi-literary' concept. After hours of thinking, I decided I should turn this into a major animation project, put it in my portfolio, and send it to the California Institute of the Arts (Hopefully, by the time I've finished this I'll be finishing up high school. With this, I'll have a project to show CalArts what I can do and, if my grades stay up, hopefully they'll let me in). The project will be displayed in 4080i HD resolution and will be presented in front of an audience of about 170 people before it goes into my portfolio. It will be the first animation project my 'Underground Theatre Animation Studio' will have.
I've written several pages of notes along with only about 6 pages of 'official' scriptwork so bare with me, none of these sketches are official - in fact, they're not very polished. These are early concept screens of various characters. Keep in mind that most of these characters are rehashes/re-designs of the same character. . Some of 'em don't look quite right, mainly because they were all rushed and not really...worked on too much.
Harvey Norwick
With the extra time I now have on my hands, I also decided to ressurrect a project that I've since let go, Beyond Grim 'n Evil. Now that I have the time, I can finally get this project off the ground. Here's a sketch I've recently done. A blank, emotionless, Mandy design:
I'll come back after I'm done working on this stuff some more.

'BJP is dividing India'
I am surprised at the way BJP is using 'Hindutva' to gain support and votes from
people. Promoting people like Narendra Modi who is anti-Muslims, BJP is playing
with religious sentiments of people.
Why else would BJP associate with someone like RSS chief
Mohan Bhagwat who has announced his future plans based on Hinduism? RSS chief
Mohan Bhagwat said, "We will have to build good, honest and true Hindus in
Bharat, because, now the whole world will be following Hindus,". BJP is
Why is it using any religion to rule the nation?
divisive ruler never succeed in india as aurangzeb proved

No one likes the agendas of far right winged parties like BJP, RSS and VHP, but still ppl think they might have a better plan than the Congress, which is ridiculous..
on Jun 02, 2013 , 11:48 pm
and whts ur question "Why else would BJP associate with someone like RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat ??" u can better browse the relationship between BJP n RSS.. wht if som1 asks u "why r u associated with ur parents ??" i think RSS is d only n only organization which is helping our older citizens to maintain their fitness n also makes them feel secure about their position in an empty-hearted-dumb-minded pseudo-secular CONGI-influenced society..
on Apr 05, 2013 , 01:45 am
i am hindu and am proud to b a hindu.. we dont need respect from u all pseudo-secular-bug-heads, bt at least dont blame ur own religion.. democracy wins whn majority wins.. CONGIs come up wid their dream theories n blame hindu terror groups, which r practically non-existent.. do u cal it secularism ??
on Apr 05, 2013 , 01:23 am
people who make such comments r either diggy-fied CONGIs or illiterate about national policies n politics. jst dont go by biased media headlines. knw som facts as wel. they blame BJP being communal. thn wht CONGIs r doing whn d caste system or religion divide is increasing day by day. thy hav ruled d nation 4 mor thn 5 decades. CONGIs can only blame others to avoid their incompetence..
on Apr 05, 2013 , 01:06 am
BJP using religion to rule country??? Why don't you shut your fcuking mouth.
on Apr 03, 2013 , 01:30 pm
. From ancient time they showing streanth of Hundus to all The Ruller for taking facilities to their own caste ie,for Brahmins, they are 2% but having facilities 50% till now also. when first time loksabha election was taken 60% tickets were alloted to only brahmins out of that 47% are elected is this proper representation? "Jago OBC,MINORITIES,JAGO"
on Apr 03, 2013 , 12:03 pm
haha people dislike my comment. but no one replies because only more educated,liberal and aware people support bjp.
on Apr 02, 2013 , 10:15 pm
India is a secular country whether any body likes or don't like, secularism is a base of our constitution which makes us to be united, despite of having different cultures & religions within the country. usually many of us keep saying that in 60 years congress did nothing but in 10 years BJP did something. if it is so then why people from every religion & class not supporting BJP? we don't feel a need of thinking on this?
on Apr 02, 2013 , 09:47 pm
Markandeya Katju was absolutely right in calling the voters "cattles" as we do have a herd mentality and follow "leaders" who we believe serves our purpose at the immediate outset who conveniently ditches us at a prime moment which he/ she would benefit from.
on Apr 02, 2013 , 04:05 pm
Coming back to BJP, yes it did use Hindutva to gain support, however to give credit where it is due, they did not use it to further their agenda of Hindutva while at the helm of affairs, but instead clung on to power to further the hidden agenda of filling its coffers with corrupt money while it lasts.
on Apr 02, 2013 , 04:06 pm
And also fact remains that at least with BJP, they may divide the people to Hindus and Non-Hindus, unlike others who divide us right from gender through religion, caste, creed, region, resources, social status etc. Its time for another fight for real "Bharat" and its independence.

Space Heaters to Save on Heating Bills Video
Good Housekeeping Research Institute tests space heaters to see which save money on winter heating bills
Interested in saving over $200 this winter?

Heating and cooling can be very expensive for a homeowner that the Department of Energy actually estimates at about 50 percent of your energy bill. One way that you can lower this is to place a space heater in one room as opposed to heating your whole house and lowering your thermostat to 62 degrees. They estimate that this can save you about $200 this winter. We tested 31 space heaters, focusing on performance and safety. We also did finger probe test to see if small hands would be able to reach the heating element or any moving parts of the heater. We found a few space heaters that we recommend for under $100.

The Honeywell HZ-385BP received top marks for its ease of use and features like an auto-off sensor that shuts off the heater when an object gets too close.

Some of the great safety features that it had was a heat indicator that turns right and lets you know when the surface gets hot.

The Soleus Air HGW-308 panel heater used the least amount of electricity in Good Housekeeping's test. It comes with a wall mounting option and was the quietest model tested.

A great model for the safety conscious is the Vornado heater. If it's tipped over in any direction, it will automatically shut off.

Good Housekeeping says keep the heater at least 3 feet away from anything that could block it. I'm Elizabeth McGuire for Good Housekeeping reports.

As far as projections I could see him hitting .300, 20-25 home runs and driving in close to 80-90 runs. He's overlooked, won't provide much speed. He doesn't walk alot but he doesn' strike out alot (only 18 k's on the season in 200+ at bats). And as Vlad continues to slump, Rivera is getting moved up into the heart of the order. At one point this year, the guy had been hitting int he 7th, 8th hole. I'm pretty sure you'll see him hitting 3rd-6th the rest of the way.Mixed leagues, he's definitely worth a look. AL only leagues, he should be starting.

(I'm sorry if that title seems oddly distant from the rest of my journal. When I started out this journal entry, what was it, like thirty minutes ago--I went back at the very end of writing this whole post to do the beginning over again---the title somehow was going to relate. But I can't remember how or what it meant.)
So I was going to write out this journal entry, first last night, then earlier today. Both times I had a relatively good idea planned out of what I wanted to say (well, write). But its a rather good thing I didn't write because of what was going on.
So, as I've probably said this in way too many journals here, I've been depressed. Very, actually.
So its a good thing I didn't write.
Today is like an emotional hangover and I can't remember much of yesterday. Last night was a blur...no, I haven't had anything to drink/smoke/inject into my veins. Nothing that monumental happened with my emotions, either. But, without further due, I present to you, the latest:
Last night my parents watched a movie in the basement. Just from the cover, I could tell it wasn't "my kind" of movie, which basically means I don't deal well with any sort of violence or suggestion of it, nor anything unrealistically sad/happy, nothing animated, etc. So I sat in my room, quiet, trying to figure out what to do. I wanted to post a YouTube video, but I was sort of numb with nervousness because I kept fearing the worst and imagining it in my head, what would happen if my parents came into my room to see me talking to myself (the camera on my computer) about my gender questioning (which they don't know about in the first place). So I didn't. I sort of let go of my urges by watching the minutes change on the computer screen. 10:02 became 10:03. I was so depressed, am so depressed, that I can't remember too much else.
(Random tangent...when I first started my gender questioning, I had taken a raffle ticket, a gold/mustard-colored one, and wrote I AM NOT A GIRL in all caps on the back of it, which was the blank side. I had left it, accidentally, in my pocket. And then a day or two later, my Dad came up from the laundry room, saying I need to remember to empty my pockets next time, then, in his hand was that same gold paper. He knows how to read English. What are the chances he read it? I never said anything, he never questioned it, either. I guess we came to a silent conclusion of Don't Ask, Don't Tell).
So last night, I was so tired and so depressed but I sort of just stayed awake. Waiting for who knows what. Kept pressing refresh on my computer screen, awaiting new emails, new pms (no, not pms, PMs), anything, really. And I started to explore my feelings of how I don't have any good pictures of myself. And how in a way, I sort of wish I had crazy drunken nights because at least THOSE people have pictures of themselves having a good time. I, on the other hand, have zero interesting photographs of myself on the Internet. I know I should be proud of being sober. And for the most part, I am. But there's still that inkling of feeling within me of how I wish people would look at my pictures and say the same about me that I say about them. How I think about how these cannot be pictures taken under sober consent. And how I wish I knew how to be like that girl (SCRATCH THAT WORD GIRL) because she seems like she knows how to have a good time.
Instead, I find myself one step away from begging others to take pictures with me. And I know its not wholeheartedly because all I'm thinking about is how at least this picture won't be just Me tagging Me.
I've lost sight of why I'm complaining to you all again so much.
Today, well, last night, I sort of let my emotions get the better of me and made it apparent, as well as this morning, how I felt about that one girl. And how annoyed I was and everything. I got such a long note today online from her. Gah.
I was caught today (by myself) of thinking and regretting my decision of buying a binder. I'm just like "Well WHERE can I wear it if my parents don't know." But I just really want a flat chest. I just don't want to have to open a can of worms. And I'm sorry that this is all that I think about.
I told my therapist the other day that I don't think many people could survive in my head and she agreed. Just because of how many repeating thoughts I have. You know the movie Groundhog Day? Yes, that's like my head. And I find myself thinking how great it would be if the world was as predictable as that.
Anyway, back to the binders, I cannot wait for a flat chest. I saw a great shirt yesterday that I want to buy but I knew Mom would know it was a guy's shirt.
I got really scared this morning because the way the shadow cast itself on my body, it made it look like I had a huge black and blue mark right around my chest and I was so scared. Because I was like, "Bahh, I'm going to have to go to the doctor and show this and then I'm going to like DIE of fear." Yeah, I think in a logic statement known as "slippery slope." Anyway, I was so scared because I hate showing a doctor my body. And I hate having to look at it and ew it just grosses me out so much.
I have a weird thing where I can convince myself of anything. A blessing and a curse.
I have this weird memory lapse thing that I don't know what it is, but anyway, the other day, when I was at therapy, the doctor was like "How did you end up not hurting yourself?" (my urges were high but I didn't act on them). And so I was recounting for her the night before and I said the embarrassing truth, "I told myself I was going to act on it in five minutes and then I just forgot." Her: "Were you distracting yourself with something?" Me: "No, I just laid in my bed thinking about it and then I forgot. It literally left my head."
Maybe I should stop ranting, or is it listing, before I sound even odd-er.
Heh, otter.
When you have too many feelings all kept up inside of you something has to go. It's kind of like a kettle- there has to be that little opening to let the steam off otherwise it goes boom and explodes. Personally, I had an explosion because I was keeping everything inside, and a bad one at that. I don't want to see that happen to you. You HAVE to get things out. One way to do so is writing, I guess, so write away...
So I'm tired and I can't think of anything comprehensible to say, but I wanted to let you know that I read it all. I know that when people don't comment it can feel like nobody's listening sometimes. So yeah.
But yeah, loreonpravus is right, it's important to get things out. Writing is good, it could also help to explore other art forms if writing isn't enough. Goodness knows I do everything from singing and guitar playing to drawing on myself in maker. (It actually helps a lot for me to write on myself all of the things that are making me upset in washable marker and then take a shower.) to painting whatever pops into my head.
So I guess I did think of something to say. Haha.
I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*
You're right - I don't think I, at least, could survive in your head. You're extremely strong, and it's good to see that you have some idea of that.
I had some sort of explosion-like experiences/feelings a while ago - before I found Oasis. So I had no outlet, or at least didn't use one. You know how when an explosion happens in a confined space, the energy has nowhere to go so it just ricochets around and kills everything that may be living in the confined space with sheer force of shockwaves? Well, that was me. And it was a pretty minor explosion, really, comparatively, and I can see this metaphor derailing quickly but I'm going to go ahead with it anyway because I get really weird-brained and metaphor-happy at night, I think. Anyway, I don't really know what happened with the little living whatever-it-was in the confined space - I mean, I don't think she's totally dead, but
You know, I give up. That metaphor fails mightily. Anyway, what I'm saying is, ...is... Yeah I don't know what I'm saying. I must need sleep. Please disregard all but the first paragraph...
Oh and this hug: Hug! Please don't disregard the hug.
Geez, I get weird when I'm tired.

Windows 8 launches in preview mode
(Read article summary)Windows 8, the latest operating system from Microsoft, is available this week as a Consumer Preview.
Microsoft today took the wraps off Windows 8, the latest iteration of its popular operating system, and the first to be designed as a cross-platform OS – on traditional desktops, laptops, and on tablets. Users interested in getting a sneak peek of the OS, which will likely launch later in 2012, can navigate to this page, and download a preview version of the software.
"[The preview] represents a work in progress, and some things will change before the final release," Microsoft's Kent Walter wrote in a blog post today. "This means you'll encounter some hiccups and bugs. One of the great things about widely releasing a preview like this is that it gives us a chance to get a lot of feedback through telemetry, forums, and blog posts on where we can smooth out some of the rough edges."
Windows 8 has been described as a mash-up of "Windows Phone, iPad and traditional desktop Windows." The OS features the Metro interface, a tiled-layout intended to appeal to users accustomed to uncluttered smartphone and tablet screens. Microsoft clearly hopes Windows 8 will appeal to a fresh generation of users.

I wonder if this has ever been thought of as a religious thing. I know that there have been occasional statues that "bled" from the eyes and that was considered a miracle.
It kind of makes me sad that it seems to be associated with women, because I imagine if a woman did this back in the day, it would have been considered a sign of witchcraft. So, she might have been burned alive, or otherwise tortured, for no other reason than that her body decided to do something strange for five minutes.
It's funny that, when a statue does it, it's a miracle, but when a living person does it, it has to be the work of the devil. I'd like to think that wasn't the conclusion that people would jump to, but I'm sure it was.
