Die Nibelungen (The Nibelungs) is a series of two silent fantasy films created by Austrian director Fritz Lang in 1924: Die Nibelungen: Siegfried and Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild's Revenge.
The screenplays for both films were co-written by Lang's then-wife Thea von Harbou, based upon the epic poem Nibelungenlied written around 1200 AD.[1] Siegfried was released in the U.S. on 23 August 1925, premiering at the Century Theatre in New York City in the short-lived Phonofilm sound-on-film process. Kriemhild's Revenge was released in the U.S. in 1928.
The title character Siegfried, son of King Siegmund of Xanten, masters the art of forging a sword at the shop of Mime. Mime sends Siegfried home, but while preparing to leave, Siegfried hears the tales of the kingdom of Burgundy, the kings who rule there, as well as of Kriemhild, the princess of Burgundy. Siegfried announces he wants to win her hand in marriage, much to the amusement of the smiths. By way of physical violence, Siegfried demands to be told the way. Mime, who is envious of Siegfried's skill as a swordsmith, claims there is a shortcut through the Wood of Woden; in reality, this route will lead Siegfried away from Burgundy and expose him to attack from the magical creatures inhabiting the wood. During his journey, Siegfried discovers a dragon, and deviates from his path to slay it. He touches its hot, yellow blood and understands the language of the birds, one of which tells him to bathe in the dragon's blood in order to become invincible to attack — except for one spot on his shoulder blade, which is missed after being covered by a falling lime (linden) leaf.
Soon after, the powerful Siegfried trespasses on the land of the Nibelungs and is attacked by Alberich, King of the Dwarves, who has turned himself invisible. Siegfried defeats Alberich, who offers Siegfried a net of invisibility and transformation. Siegfried is not persuaded to spare Alberich's life, whereupon Alberich offers to make Siegfried "the richest king on earth!" [intertitle 1.14]. While Siegfried is mesmerized by the treasure and the sword Balmung, Alberich tries to defeat him, but dies in the attempt. Dying, Alberich curses all inheritors of the treasure and he and his dwarves turn to stone.
Siegfried finally arrives in Burgundy in his new guise of the King of twelve kingdoms. A battle breaks out between Siegfried and King Gunther and his adviser Hagen of Tronje, which is subdued by the appearance of the beautiful princess Kriemhild. Hagen negotiates over Siegfried helping Kriemhild's brother, King Gunther, to win the hand of Brunhild, the Queen of Iceland. The men travel to Brunhild's kingdom, where Siegfried feigns vassalage to Gunther so that he can avoid Brunhild's challenge and instead use the net's power of invisibility to help Gunther beat the powerful Queen in a threefold battle of strength. The men return to Burgundy where Gunther marries Brunhild and Siegfried weds Kriemhild.
Brunhild is not, however, completely defeated. She suspects deceit and refuses to consummate the marriage. Hagen again convinces Siegfried to help. Siegfried transforms himself into Gunther and battles Brunhild and removes her arm-ring during battle, after which she submits to his will. Siegfried leaves the real Gunther to consummate the marriage.
Kriemhild discovers Brunhild's armlet and asks Siegfried about it. Siegfried discloses the truth to Kriemhild about his role in Brunhild's defeat. When the Nibelungen treasure that Siegfried acquired from Alberich arrives at the court of Burgundy as Kriemhild's wedding gift, Brunhild becomes more suspicious about Siegfried's feigned vassalage to Gunther. Brunhild dons the Queen Mother's jewellery and proceeds to the cathedral to enter as the first person, as is her right as Queen of Burgundy. Kriemhild tries to take Brunhild's right of way and an argument erupts between the two Queens. Kriemhild betrays her husband's and brother's secret to Brunhild, who then confronts Gunther.
Brunhild demands that Siegfried must be killed, which she justifies by claiming that Siegfried stole her maidenhood [intertitle 1.94] when he struggled with her on her wedding night. Hagen von Tronje and King Gunther conspire to murder Siegfried during a hunt in the Odenwald. Hagen deceives Kriemhild into divulging Siegfried's weak spot by sewing a cross on the spot in Siegfried's tunic.
After the hunt, Hagen challenges Siegfried to a race to a nearby spring. When Siegfried is on his knees drinking, Hagen pierces him from behind with a spear.
In an evil twist of bitter revenge, Brunhild confesses that she lied about Siegfried stealing her maidenhood in order to avenge Gunther's deceit of her.
Kriemhild demands her family avenge her husband's death at the hands of Hagen, but her family is complicit in the murder, and so they protect Hagen. Kriemhild swears revenge against Hagen while Brunhild commits suicide at the foot of Siegfried's corpse, which has been laid in state in the cathedral.
Kriemhild tries to win over the people of Burgundy to help her exact revenge against Hagen, to whom her brothers have sworn allegiance. Kriemhild bribes the people with money and treasure from the Nibelungen hoard. Margrave Ruediger of Bechlarn arrives unannounced to woo Kriemhild on behalf of his King, King Etzel, who resides in the land of the Huns. Kriemhild initially declines, but ultimately she recognises the opportunity for revenge in her marriage with Etzel and in Ruediger's allegiance to her. She forces Ruediger to swear allegiance to her on his sword. At that very moment, news arrives that Hagen has stolen her wedding gift, the Nibelungen hoard, which Hagen has, unbeknownst to all, sunk into the Rhine river.
Kriemhild travels to Etzel's lands and accepts his hand. As a gift to Kriemhild for bearing him a son, Ortlieb, Etzel grants her a wish. Kriemhild requests Etzel to invite her family to celebrate the Midsummer Solstice with them in the Hun kingdom. In the meantime, Kriemhild bribes Etzel's Hun warriors with money and treasure to avenge her and attack Hagen.
When the Burgundians arrive, the Huns launch several unsuccessful attempts. Instead, the Huns launch an attack on the Burgundian soldiers during their feast in the subterranean caves where the Huns reside. The Burgundian Knight Dankwart manages to escape the melee and warns the Burgundian Kings who are feasting with Etzel and Kriemhild in Etzel's palace. Upon hearing of the treacherous attack, Hagen murders Etzel's son, and battle breaks out. Dietrich of Bern manages to negotiate an exit from the hall for Etzel's royal entourage, which leaves the Burgundian guests imprisoned in Etzel's palace.
The remaining 45 minutes of the film consists of multiple battles in which the Huns launch multiple attacks on the Burgundians. Kriemhild offers her family freedom if they surrender Hagen to her. They decline. Ultimately Kriemhild calls upon Ruediger to fulfill his oath of allegiance by attacking Hagen. Ruediger refuses, but is forced to by Etzel. Ruediger and Kriemhild's two younger brothers, Gerenot and Giselher, perish in the battle. In a final act of desperation, Kriemhild commands the palace be set alight.
As the flames smoulder, only Gunther and Hagen survive. Dietrich of Bern fetches the two remaining men from the palace and delivers them to Kriemhild, who demands Hagen to reveal the hiding place of the Nibelungen hoard. When Hagen states that he has sworn not to reveal the hiding place as long as one of his kings is still alive, Kriemhild commands Gunther's beheading. When Hagen reveals that no one now knows the location of the treasure apart from him, and that he will never tell, Kriemhild grabs Siegfried's sword from Hagen and cuts him down. Infuriated by Kriemhild's act of murder, Sword Master Hildebrant stabs Kriemhild from behind. Etzel's final words are that Kriemhild should be taken back home to her dead husband, Siegfried, because she never belonged to any other man [intertitle 2.159].

Many homeowners are under the incorrect assumption that a colorful and imaginative color scheme will cost a great deal more for both materials and labor than a dull one. Unless the scheme is a Victorian manse with dozens of colors this is rarely the case. Exterior paint can subtly downplay less attractive elements such as gutters, downspouts, air conditioning units, unevenly placed windows, etc. and highlight your home's best features. As a professional painting company, we offer free residential painting color consultations to help you emphasize the positive and minimize the negative.
Residential Painting Color Tips
A mistake I've seen often is choosing a color scheme for a home without considering the home's surroundings. If your home clashes with your neighbors, the effect can be jarring. Most clients are happiest when they choose a scheme that blends with the neighborhood or stands out in a subtle, unobtrusive way. Landscaping also counts! When picking the perfect color, consider tress that change color, flowering shrubs, flower gardens, and other features in the yard – will your paint color be compatible? Heavily wooded lots will make colors look darker due to shade and greens or grays could camouflage your home making it disappear into the surroundings. A large home on a small lot painted white or a light color – for instance, a tinted neutral tone can make the house seem larger and the yard seem smaller. Dark colors can make a home look smaller but also add distinction. Professional painters know a safe and effective approach to color placement is to select two tints or shades from the same color strip a few shades apart. Either the lighter or the darker shade could be used for the body and the opposite for the trim. A contrasting accent color could punctuate the door. Lighter colors on a porch will make a home feel more "approachable" and welcoming. Height can be scaled down by painting the upper portion of a tall house a deeper tone than the bottom portion. This is also effective on a small lot or when landscaping is immature. Light or white shades are a good choice for windowsills for reflection of the sun's heat and light. If a house is placed far away from the curb, painting it a light color will visually bring it forward and vice versa.
Free Painting Estimates
Your home's color makes a first impression, an individual statement that can enhance curb appeal and even resale value! Before you get started with exterior painting a little research can go a long way. Don't overlook interesting architectural detailing – highlight it with color! If you don't have any idea what you like, driving through various neighborhoods to see color in action can quickly give you a feel for what you do and don't like.. Make note of appealing color schemes and consider adapting them to your own home. Assuming no structural work is needed, painting is the most cost-effective approach to changing the appearance of a home. Define the entryway by using color as a "Welcome" sign. Windows are an opportunity: they give character to a house -outlining them lends crispness to the whole color scheme. We're happy to come give you a free painting estimate and go over all of your color options!

Over the last decade much progress has been made in anaerobic digestion of solid waste: advances in research and development, construction of new plants, more favourable legislation. Key features of this progress are reported in these proceedings. While the selected papers cover a wide range of work on 'solid' organic wastes, there is a particular focus on the organic fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).
Many landfills are set to close and there is a significant increase in separate collection of MSW. Biological treatments can maximise recycling and recovery of its components; anaerobic digestion, with its high energy recovery and limited environmental impact, is frequently the most cost-effective of these treatments.
The future of anaerobic digestion of solid wastes is increasingly seen in the integration of this unique unit process in overall sustainable waste treatment. In Life Cycle Analysis anaerobic digestion offers several interesting features: energy recovery (a particularly important factor in third world countries); and a significantly lower contribution to global warming.
Problems remain (as for all types of wastes treatments), particularly concerning the fate of micro-pollutants and overall end-product quality, but anaerobic digestion offers major potential in the long-term environmental management. These proceedings offer an unrivalled authoritative view of the present and future of anaerobic digestion of solid waste.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesDuring oral arguments today at the Supreme Court, Justice Antonin Scalia and attorney Ted Olson had a pointed exchange over whether same-sex marriage is a fundamental right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
Scalia's argument, which was advanced by Chief Justice John Roberts before him, was that when the institution of marriage developed historically, it was not done with the explicit intent of excluding gay and lesbian couples.
"We don't prescribe law for the future," Scalia said. "We decide what the law is. I'm curious, when did it become unconstitutional to exclude homosexual couples from marriage? 1791? 1868? When the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted?"
Olson countered that with a question of his own, bringing up two past high-profile cases involving discrimination.
"When did it become unconstitutional to prohibit interracial marriages? When did it become unconstitutional to assign children to separate schools?" Olson asked.
The two went back and forth, with Scalia repeatedly questioning when, specifically, it became unconstitutional to bar gay couples from marrying. Olson argued back, but ended up conceding that there was no specific date.
"Well, how am I supposed to how to decide a case, then, if you can't give me a date when the Constitution changes?" Scalia said.
"Because in the case that's before you today, the citizens of California decide — after the California Supreme Court decided that individuals had a right to get married irrespective of their sexual orientation in California — then the Californians decided in Proposition 8, wait a minute, we don't want those people to be able to get married."

Afrojack & Paris Hilton Are NOT An Item Just 'Really, Really, Good Friends' [AUDIO]
Grammy Award winning producer and DJ, Afrojack stopped by the "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" studio Wednesday to talk about his new track "Can't Stop Me," what he has been up to in the recording studio and he puts the romance rumors to rest.
It is no secret that Afrojack has been spending time with Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton, and the rumor around town is that the two are dating. "No, we're really, really good friends. She's like me. She likes to party, she likes to have fun," he says setting the record straight. However, when asked if he would ever kiss her, he said "Why not."
Afrojack Is Collaborating With Flo Rida, LMFAO & Paris Hilton
Afrojack has collaborated on so many hit songs, that it's no surprise that he's been in the studio working with Flo Rida, LMFAO and his really, really good friend Paris. "I produced a couple of tracks for Paris. Flo Rida got in for doing one of her tracks and one of my tracks. LMFAO was also in for a track off my album and a track off Paris' album," he explains. Even while focusing on his album, the "Take Over Control" producer also gave Flo Rida a track for his album.
Afrojack also describes the buzzworthy component's of "Can't Stop Me" to Ryan, explaining: "It's like big chords, it's like a dance track, but with radio vocals. So, it's a combination of the radio sound with the now dance sound. It worked out really great in the club, everyone in the clubs loved it," he tells us.

Erin is the newest addition to our Karma Krewe, and we look forward to all the rockin' photos she'll be sending our way. Since she works on the other side of the camera you won't be seeing her all that often, but here she is, the woman behind e-rin images :)
Erin Rose of e-rin images (by Eisells Imagery) |
So now that you know who our bud Erin is, we hope you enjoy her very first Karma Krewe post! ( ❤ JacQ)
New neighborhood Karma Krewe member Erin here! Aside from admiring, and receiving and (gasp!) wearing amazing garments from Soul-Flower, my excitement peaks most at the opportunity to photograph them. To say that photography is my passion, or even obsession doesn't fully express what it means to me. Like any other art form for the devoted artist, it's embedded into everything I do, see and experience. So let's combine that with clothes? Really, really cool threads for kind heads? Yes please!
We changed the look entirely as a skirt for a more vintage feel and both turned out quite lovely, if I do say so myself. :) The color combination possibilities are really endless with this shade of violet, and the style lends itself to most any look- it could easily be taken from modern to bohemian to vintage!
Danielle wore the versatile Jezebel Hemp Skirt during a long shoot with its share of rocky terrain, dirt, grime and probably more physical movement that one usually does in a strapless dress. While shooting, I continuously asked about its comfort, wear, etc. Great reviews all around! It is uber-comfortable, wears well as in it doesn't pull, twist, or sag even with a lot of physical movement. And somehow, it hardly picked up any dirt!

'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' easily repeated last week's holiday victory, but the weekend's other holdovers, in a session without any new wide-release competition, also performed strongly. The top 14 movies, and all but three of the top 33 movies, saw their earnings rise over last weekend's takes.

Coming out of high school, Matt Sheen was ready to take on the world. As a National Merit Scholar, he was at the top of every major engineering college's recruitment list. He was awarded full scholarships from high caliber schools including Georgia Tech, but none of these schools seemed right.
"There is just something about Clemson. The students here are like family. I think that's what really appealed to me," said Sheen, who is from Augusta, Ga.
The scholarship he was offered from Clemson allowed Matt to attend the school where he truly saw himself. But Matt's ambition didn't end with his enrollment — not by a long shot.
Matt is currently a senior mechanical engineering major. He served as president of the Clemson Symphony Orchestra where he plays second-section violin. In his free time, he runs up to 25 miles per week across campus. All while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
Sheen's ability to "do it all" reflects his drive and dedication in everything he does. He claims that his passion for both mechanical engineering and Clemson is what pushes him to be so involved. Within the field of mechanical engineering, Sheen is most passionate about mechatronics, an emphasis area that allows him to construct robots for various industries. Despite his love for engineering, though, Sheen admits that the curriculum requires a lot of effort.
"I work hard. It's my field of interest, so I enjoy a lot of what I do, but that doesn't mean it's easy," Sheen said. "Engineering students can get tunnel vision. Being involved in different things helps me keep everything in perspective."
So, Sheen leads a Creative Inquiry class in 3-D printing. The class focuses on the development of new technology that can print three-dimensional materials, such as plastic. He works with 20 students, informing them about innovations in this up-and-coming field. But the students in his class aren't the only ones benefiting.
"Being in charge of this class has taught me so much about leadership," Sheen said. "It has taught me to lead in a different context."
Sheen wants to take everything he has learned at Clemson to new heights. In the fall, he plans to attend graduate school at UT Austin, Cornell or Duke where he will specialize in mechatronics. He jokes that it would be great to make a career out of a hobby.

Apologies to Neil deGrasse Tyson
Do you know what I hate? Catching myself talking smack just for the sake of hearing my own voice. When you're firing a ton of vitriolic guns, there can be a few casualties along the way; modesty and thoughtfulness come to mind. As you might imagine, I was less than pleased with myself when I read this snarky post I did back in 2012 concerning science's new Golden Boy, Neil deGrasse Tyson. I may have been a little harsh:
If you haven't watched Neil's disappointing and rather insulting Big Think video, I recommend you do; it'll demonstrate what I feel is his intellectual cowardliness in regard to the fundamental issue of his belief. While he's being vetted as Carl Sagan's spiritual successor, Neil lacks this man's intellectual courage, particularly when it comes to fighting the evils of irrational thinking…
That a movement exists at all is a testament to the fact non-believers are still viewed with contempt and mistrust. Being an out-group trying to survive in a sectarian world has indeed forced us to create a makeshift community, and while I'm not always happy with the way some of us behave, to condemn us all under the same banner smacks of plain ignorance….I can't stand when people still placate the ignorance of superstitious belief while simultaneously decrying the lack of critical thinking in the world. Get some fucking balls, dude!
I guess time has a way of spanking your ass sometimes. While I was on the money about Neil being the next "Carl Sagan", his remake of Cosmos takes a pretty hardline against religion and the dangers of superstition. He's also facing plenty of backlash for it, so I have to take back all the lame smack-talk from before. I'm sorry dude. That was a different Jacob talking; living in a different time.
Still, I hope that by now, Neil understands that the reason atheists like me were so insulted is that he failed to realize the importance of public figures coming out as proud nonbelievers. African Americans are still overwhelmingly religious, and having a role model to aspire to can often be enough to help shake off the chains of religious oppression. He's right that labels can often mean being assosiated with ideas and opinions you never had. I wonder, however, if merely avoiding labels is worth the potential value stepping out of the atheist closet would have. Something to think about.

With his head in the clouds
A young Peace Corps worker drifts around the world, trying to find people to save him
In a typically wry passage of "Walden," Thoreau claims, "If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life." It's a line that captures our ambivalent attitude about charity, what's now distilled to an extracurricular activity for high school students trying to improve the world - or their transcripts. Charity labors under the same denigration that ruined the word "pity," which we all know nobody wants. In these conservative times, anyone who hands out a meal is likely to be admonished that it's better to teach a man to fish, particularly if someone else does the teaching, preferably at a for-profit charter school.
A debut novel by Robert Rosenberg explores the challenges of charity with refreshing good humor and insight. "This Is Not Civilization" follows a young Peace Corps worker named Jeff Hartig as he helps people on an Indian reservation in Arizona, in a village in the post-Soviet country of Kyrgyzstan, and in the earthquake devastation of Istanbul in 1999.
Rosenberg himself was a Peace Corps volunteer in Kyrgyzstan, he won a fellowship to work on the White Mountain Apache Reservation in Arizona, and he taught in Istanbul during the earthquake. As you might expect, those wide experiences give the author an extraordinary store of detail to create the exotic places Jeff seeks out in his restless quest.
What's unexpected, though, is the way Rosenberg allows this autobiographical adventure to rotate away from his fictive persona. Other characters periodically move to the forefront, not as objects of Jeff's benevolence or paragons of primitive virtue, but as people just as earnest and noble and foolish as Jeff is.
The novel's richest scenes take place in a forgotten mountain village in Kyrgyzstan, where a father named Anarbek manages a communist-era cheese factory that produces no cheese. While the rest of the country stumbles toward privatization, a bureaucratic oversight keeps subsidy checks flowing from the capital. Anarbek knows they're living on borrowed time, but in this barren, mountainous village there is nothing else do to. "We're still making a profit!" he assures the workers who arrive each day to sit and chat.

History shows that serious incidents and deaths have occurred for a variety of reasons at all types of buildings and even in open spaces. Nearly all could have been prevented if basic precautions had been taken.
Building legislation provides minimum construction standards but how buildings are used is a critical factor for public safety. In Western Australia the principal legislation is the Health Act Part VI (External link)and the Health (Public Buildings) Regulations 1992 (External link).

WASHINGTON -- The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced today that the Federal Branch of Arab Bank, PLC, New York, New York, has consented to an order under which it will contract its activities and convert to an agency office. The order requires the Branch to maintain asset levels and to take various steps to improve its compliance program and internal controls.
The order was precipitated by the OCC's determination that the branch had internal control weaknesses, particularly with regard to its international funds transfer activities. The order notes that Arab Bank and Branch management cooperated with and facilitated the OCC's examination and investigation.
The order replaces a February 8, 2005, interim order that required the bank to preserve its assets and restrict its funds transfer activities until the broader action encompassed in today's enforcement action could be completed.

Telstra nears end of NBN talks

Telstra chief financial officer John Stanhope Photo: Jessica Shapiro
Telstra Corporation Ltd chief financial officer John Stanhope says negotiations with the government about the national broadband network are almost complete.
"At a practical level, a lot of it has been done," Mr Stanhope said in Sydney on Wednesday.
Talks between the government and Telstra were now focused on how the deal would be put into practice.
"There are some aspects of the timing which are matters for the government such as the passage of the legislation which creates the framework for the deal," Mr Stanhope said.
He said it was an extremely detailed and complex negotiation that took time and all parties were working as hard as they could to create certainty.
Mr Stanhope reiterated that the company was hoping to be in a position to put a proposal to shareholders in the first half of calendar 2011.

County Kerry, End the Capture and Display of Wild Goats at Puck Fair
Wild animals suffer tremendously, both physically and mentally, when caught, especially during handling and transport, and contact with humans can terrify and disorient them. So spare a thought for the goat who will soon be "crowned" King Puck at the Puck Fair in Killorglin, County Kerry.
In what must be a terrifying ordeal, each year, a wild male goat is caught in the mountains, confined to a small cage in town and then hoisted high in the air, where he remains for three days while revellers party below.
Goats deserve to be … Read more.

Automated Bowling Arrives In UK
'Five-pin bowling has been introduced in Scotland at East Kilbride using Canadian-made pin-sweeping and pin-setting automatic equipment manufactured by the Double Diamond Bowling Supply Company of Toronto.'
So, 50 years ago, starts a story in Electronics Weekly's edition of January 25th 1961.
The story continues:
'Built at a cost of £250,000 by Thomson Recreational Enterprises, a new company formed by Roy Thomson, TV and newspaper magnate, the rink is the first of its type in Britain.'
'A system of relays and micro-switches activates compressed air to carry out the sweeping, elevating and resetting motions.'
'A photoelectric ray marks the 'foul' line over which players are not allowed to step.'
'There are 16 lanes each equipped with individual machines, controlled either by the manager's box or by the players.'
'Equipment used includes Arrow heart automatic pin-setting controller and a Double Diamond Fleet-ray manufactured by Philips Electronics of Learside, Ontario which controls the 'foul' line.'

Double Diamond works wonders.
March 13, 2012 18:30
In those days you needed a degree in maths to be able to do the scoring accurately. One of those strange sports where a complete beginner can do almost as well as a seasoned player.
This must also have been around the time East Kilbride became a New Town, and Motorola can't have been long after either.
Can we blame the Private Equity people for the demise of ten pin bowling?

Billy Horschel and Chris Kirk, the in form people, are leading the Tour Championship together, tied at the top of the East Lake Golf Club leaderboard.
Billy and Chris both recorded opening rounds at The TOUR Championship of -4 under par 66 at East Lake Golf Club. Although Billy's wife Brittany is expecting a baby any time soon, she told him to keep playing golf;
"My wife is totally on board, she's a golfer. She understands what this victory and FedExCup Playoffs and what it all means. I've probably got the greatest wife out here."
"There wasn't much discussion. I brought up the question. She said you're staying."
"I won't find out on the course, because my focus may be taken away from the task at hand. But after the round's over with, I will be flying home, spend a few hours and then flying back later that day or the next morning before the round of golf."
"Having a chance to win $10 million and our first child on the way, it's pretty amazing, especially the time of year that it's happening."
"Listen, Hunter Mahan did a great thing last year pulling out, but I would think if he was in my position with winning, having a chance to win, roughly $10 million more, if you had the TOUR Championship winner's check and everything, I think it would be maybe a no brainer to stay put and keep playing and go home in between rounds."
Chris mentioned the solid rounds they both played today, and how good it was to go round with Billy;
"We both had a solid day, Billy's obviously been playing some pretty incredible golf with winning last week and finishing second the week before. And I've been doing all right myself."
"So it was a comfortable pairing for both of us, I think, and the golf course played really, really well. It was tough, but very fair. And we both had it going pretty nice."
There are four players tied in third place, Jim Furyk, Jason Day, Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed, all on -3 under par for the tournament.
Patrick is in the unenviable position of choosing which caddy to use, wife Justine, who has recently given birth to their son, or her brother Kessler, who him helped win two tournaments when Justine was not available;
"Depends on how Justine feels, what her comfort level is and what she feels like doing."
"I mean, whether she's caddying or whether Kessler's caddying, I know I can play well. I've won with both of them, played some great golf with both of them."
"Obviously it's more of a family decision on what we feel is most comfortable not only for us but also for little Windsor Wells."
The gathered media could only ask Bubba who was longest off the tee, him or Rory, great answer from Bubba;
"Who cares. Ask Rory. He could care less, too. Listen, all we want to do is win. We're trying to win golf tournaments. Jim Furyk's record, Corey Pavin's record's a lot better than Bubba Watson. So I wish I hit it like them, I guess."
Rory had a slow start to this tournament, currently at -1 under par, along with Sergio Garcia, Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler and Ryan Palmer.

Ruthin ( ; ) is the county town of Denbighshire in north Wales. Located around a hill in the southern part of the Vale of Clwyd - the older part of the town, the castle and Saint Peter's Square are located on top of the hill, while many newer parts of the town are on the floodplain of the River Clwyd (which became apparent on several occasions in the late 1990s—new flood control works costing £3 million were inaugurated in autumn 2003). Ruthin also has villages on the outskirts of the town such as Pwllglas and Rhewl. The name 'Ruthin' comes from the Welsh words rhudd (red) and din (fort), and refers to the colour of the new red sandstone which forms the geologic basis of the area, and from which the castle was constructed in 1277-1284. The original name of Rhuthin was 'Castell Coch yng Ngwern-fôr' (red castle in the sea-swamps). [edit] History
There is evidence of Celtic and later Roman settlements in the area. However, little is known of the history of the town before construction of Ruthin Castle started in 1277 by Dafydd, the brother of prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, but he forfeited the castle when he rebelled against King Edward I with his brother; Edward's queen, Eleanor, was in residence in 1281. The Marcher Lord, Reginald de Grey, Justiciar of Chester, was given the Cantref (an administrative district) of Deffrencloyt (= Dyffryn Clwyd, the Welsh for Vale of Clwyd), and his family ran the area for the next 226 years. The third Baron de Grey's land dispute with Owain Glyndŵr triggered Glyndŵr's rebellion against King Henry IV which began on 16 September 1400, when Glyndŵr burned Ruthin to the ground, reputedly leaving only the castle and a few other buildings standing. The Lord de Grey established a Collegiate Church in 1310. Now, the Collegiate and Parish Church of St Peter, it dominates the Ruthin skyline. The double naved church boasts two medieval carved roofs. The church is known for its musical tradition, it has a large choir of children and adults and a four manual Wadsworth-Willis Organ. Behind the church can be seen the old college buildings, school and Christ's hospital. A Ruthin native, Sir Thomas Exmewe was Lord Mayor of the City of London in 1517-18. The half-timbered Old Court House (built in 1401), now a branch of the NatWest Bank, features the remains of a gibbet last used to execute a Franciscan priest, Charles Meehan, also known as Mahoney. He was shipwrecked on the Welsh coast when Catholicism was equated with treason — Meehan was hanged, drawn, and quartered in 1679. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1987 as one of the Eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales. During the English Civil War the castle survived an eleven-week siege, after which it was demolished by order of Parliament. The castle was rebuilt in the 19th century as a country house, and is now a luxury hotel, the Ruthin Castle Hotel. From 1826 until 1921 the castle was the home of the Cornwallis-West family, members of Victorian and Edwardian high society. In its 18th century heyday as a town on drovers' routes from Wales into England, Ruthin was reputed to have "a pub for every week of the year". By 2007, however, there are only eleven pubs in the town. The first copies of the Welsh national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, were printed in what is now the Siop Nain tea and gift shop on Well Street. In 1863 the Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway, which linked in Denbigh with the Vale of Clwyd Railway (subsequently part of the London and North Western Railway, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and British Rail) reached the town. The route ran from Rhyl on the north coast, through Denbigh and Ruthin to Corwen. Thereafter the line joined a route from Ruabon through Llangollen, Corwen and Bala to Barmouth. The railway and Ruthin railway station closed in 1963 as part of the Beeching Axe. The site of the town's railway station is now occupied by a large road roundabout (Brieg Roundabout) and the Ruthin Craft Centre which originally opened in 1982 but was rebuilt and reopened in 2008 [1]. Sir Henry Haydn Jones MP (1863–1950) politician, slate quarry owner, and owner of the Talyllyn Railway was brought up in the town. He is immortalised for children as Sir Handel, owner of the Skarloey Railway in Rev. W. Awdry's Railway Series. On 6 June 1947 Władysław Raczkiewicz, the first president of the Polish government in exile, died at Ruthin Castle. He was buried in the Polish Cemetery in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Ruthin hosted the National Eisteddfod in 1868 and 1973. The Urdd National Eisteddfod visited Ruthin in 1992 and 2006.[1] [edit] Research Tips

Finally! Kate Middleton's baby bump made its debut on Jan. 11, when Kate was present for the unveiling of her first official portrait!
Kate Middleton displayed the first signs of pregnancy at the unveiling of her first official portrait on Jan. 11 — we could see her baby bump!
Kate, 31, looked glowing at the National Portrait Gallery, where her portrait was unveiled. Despite Kate's thin frame, we spotted a baby bump as Kate turned sideways for photos!
For the event, Kate wore an elegant burgundy chiffon dress and her trusty black court shoes.
Aside from the one time that Kate let her baby bump show, she kept her hands over her midriff through most of the day. Kate appears to be very self conscious about showing off her baby bump.
Kate, who was accompanied by Prince William at the event, is believed to be 12 weeks along.
Kate Celebrates Her Birthday
On Jan. 10, Kate, William and a large group of family and friends celebrated the Duchess' birthday at a showing of Cirque du Soleil.
Kate and William, 30, looked extremely happy, according to E! Online. Kate was spotted laughing, clapping, gasping, pulling her hair across her face and curling into William (PDA alert!).
Kate's sister Pippa Middleton, brother James Middleton, parents Carole and Michael Middleton, pal Sophie Carter, cousins Lucy and Adam Middleton, pals Teddy Foyle andDavid Jardine-Paterson, and Kate's old schoolmates Trini Foyle and Emilia Jardine-Patersonalso attended the festivity!

pregnancy has nothing to do with the bump with my first two pregnancies i had boys and at
8 months i was able to lie on the floor on my stomach i didn't show when i was hospitalized at
full term i looked at least 10 weeks early but with my daughter i was bigger at 2 months then
i had been with either boy every woman carries differetly and every pregnancy is different
don't judge Kate by her baby bump for you never know she may never really have one
Posted at 6:13 AM on January 27, 2013
The palace confirmed her as being 12 weeks pregnant, and lets face it she is tiny so should there not be an actual bump? There is nothing there she might as well not be pregnant, not to mention her pregnancy is not going well at all. She has not put any real weight on I am not an expert but don't think that is good for her or her baby.

It gets quite messy when applying, so it takes a few tries before you master the application. Once it is on, the look is absolutely soft dramatic and gorgeous. This shade suits all eye colors. I enjoy the shade, but I wish it was easier to apply.

In His New My Cybex Profile, NFL Fullback Michael Robinson Says He's Never Seen A Cardio Machine As Forgiving On His Limbs As The Cybex Arc Trainer.
Cybex International Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment, yesterday unveiled My Cybex, a video series highlighting true stories about the drastic impact its revolutionary Arc Trainer has had on the lives of users across the athletic spectrum – from fitness reality show stars to professional athletes to average gym-goers. The video series was unveiled at the annual International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) Convention in Los Angeles, California.
"I was about 23 years old, and my doctor literally told me that I was not going to see past the age of 30 the way I was going with my health," says Neil Tejwani, who speaks of the role the Arc Trainer played in kick-starting his fitness efforts as a contestant on NBC's hit reality show The Biggest Loser. "Week one when you're on that show at the ranch you may not be able to run a marathon the first day, but I know you can go on the Arc Trainer for at least 30 minutes. So it was a huge part of our day-to-day workout regimen and weekly regimen as well."
Tejwani, who shed 211 pounds during the show's fourth season, credits the Arc Trainer with providing a workout option that delivered significant results without pain or injury. "When you're as heavy as I was, you're looking for as low-impact as possible, and for me I could do the Arc Trainer," Tejwani says. "The first time I did it, I was expecting to go on there for five minutes and then pass out afterwards. The next thing you know 10 minutes rolls around, then 15, then 20, and before you know it you're on that thing for over an hour, but it doesn't feel like you've been working out for an hour."
The Arc Trainer delivers power, strength and cardio results with a unique combination of glide, stride and climb motions, all while putting less stress on joints so athletes can continue to perform on and off the field. A new model unveiled at IHRSA features several improvements designed to enhance the Arc Trainer experience and improve workout results. The E3 View 15.6" high definition monitor gives users their choice of a complete look at exercise data; video from TV, iPod, or iPhone combined with a summary of exercise data; or a total escape that fills the whole screen with video content. The innovative Muscle Map™ display, a visual motivator, gives users the power to visually target individual muscle groups and take full advantage of the near limitless settings offered by the Arc Trainer.

We have another loss in Venezuela. Less than three years after the government did not renew RCTV's broadcast license and sent the station to cable, now they have created a new norm, especially designed to take the station from the air, even on cable. The new norm classifies cable stations as "national" or "international." "National" stations must comply with the restrictive Media Content Law and broadcast the President's speeches, "cadenas." Not surprisingly, CONATEL, the government's communication regulating body declared that RCTV is "national" to be able to modify and control the oppositional stance in the station's content. RCTV did not broadcast a presidential cadena yesterday. Last night, cable companies, complying with the new norm, took RCTV out of the air.
Posted by Dr. Carolina Acosta-Alzuru at 8:21 PM Labels: La Vida Entera, Telenovela, Telenovela consumption, Telenovelas Jan 7, 2010Studying telenovelas has given me the opportunity to meet interesting people. Among them is Vanessa, who I met while conducting the fieldwork for my last case study, telenovela La Vida Entera. When I interviewed Vanessa regarding her decoding of this telenovela, she told me that she drew several cartoons of some of the characters in the show. Following are some of her cartoons, along with photos of the characters. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I have. It's another way of observing telenovela consumption, and how audience members appropriate the characters, as they follow their storylines.

October 22, 2010
- Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam and Police Chief Sterling Owen named Officer Brandon Wardlaw the Knoxville Police Department's Officer of the Month for July. Officer Wardlaw has been with the department since January 2007.
Chief Owen said that between June 14, 2010, and July 21, 2010, approximately seven restaurants were robbed by a black male suspect armed with a sawed-off shotgun. On July 21 officers responded to a robbery of an individual in the parking lot of the Green Hills Apartments. The description of the suspect matched the description of the suspect committing the restaurant robberies.
Chief Owen said, "Officer Wardlaw was able to develop information that identified the possible suspect. Coordinating efforts with investigators from the Violent Crimes Unit, a canvass of the area was initiated but the suspect could not be located."
The next day Officer Wardlaw continued to develop information on the whereabouts of the suspect. With assistance from east and west district officers, investigators, and the Repeat Offenders Squad, Officer Wardlaw located and apprehended the suspect without incident.
Chief Owen said, "Officer Wardlaw consistently displays not only a strong work ethic and drive, but also the desire and ability to build relationships in the community. It is these relationships that are critical in keeping our community safe."
Mayor Haslam said, "Officer Wardlaw showed outstanding initiative and investigative skill in locating and apprehending this violent serial robber. Congratulations on a job well done."
Anthony Dewayne Brabson
Charges: Aggravated Robbery (to an individual)
Additional charges are likely in the near future.

Store Pages provides an easy way to create SEO-friendly store pages that are created directly from your Store Locator Plus locations data.
Page Settings
Default Page Status
Available In: Store Pages 4.0
This setting determines the initial page status for newly created Store Pages. The default is draft, allowing you to modify the default page content before making it visible to your site visitors. You can have Store Locator Plus create pages with the status set to any of the built-in WordPress modes including draft, published, pending review, or private.
Pages Replace Websites
Use the Store Pages local URL in place of the website URL on the map results list. When on, the results under the map will replace the "website" link with a link to the store page for the location.
Permalink Starts With
Set the middle part of the store page URLs, defaults to "store_page". This impacts how the permalink, and thus public URL, is created. The value you enter here should be alphanumeric and underscore or hyphen only (a to z, 0 to 9, _, or-). You can set custom URLs for your Store Pages. As such you will need to go into the general WordPress permalinks setting and make a change to "re-activate" the permalinks table. Go to the Store Pages tab in Store Locator Plus. Change the permalink setting from "store-page" to something else and save changes. You can change it back afterwards, but the first change needs to happen and be a DIFFERENT string to trigger the permalink table flush. If that does not work you can try to flush the permalinks table by changing the built-in WordPress Permalink setting. Select "custom structure". It will already be filled out with the string needed to keep pages as they are. Click save and it should flush the permalinks table but retain your URL structure. If permalinks is already set to custom, because you have a truly custom format for the URL, you will need to use the "change store pages permalink" method. View the permalinks section of the troubleshooting page if you have problems.
Prepend URL With Blog Path

When this setting is ON the links to the store pages are prepended with the "front base" permalink setting. On the permalinks page this is the portion that precedes the page or post name, such as "/the_front/" in the Custom Structure example below.
When this settings is OFF, only the page name and the "permalink starts with" text entered on the Store Pages setting page are used as part of the URL.
In this screen shot you can see the two different URLs that were generated when toggling the Prepend setting ON and OFF. One of these pages will need to be re-generated to prevent broken links to the SEO pages.

ASHLAND, Ore. — Oregon chocolatiers and bakers are hoping to get your attention when you head to the Oregon Chocolate Festival this year.
More than 50 Oregon vendors will be at the Ashland Springs Hotel taking part in the Festival. Many of them are small businesses that have recently opened their doors.
Sjanna Sharbatz, the owner of Sjanna's Cakery Kisses in White City says her first day in business was during last year's festival. Last year, she won one of the festival's awards. She says that's what propelled her business forward to increase sales and even open a commercial kitchen.
"To win that award was amazing and exciting, and just kept propelling us forward," Sharbatz said.
The event is already underway with the chocolate-themed First Friday Art Walk, which runs from 5 p.m. through 8 p.m. The festivities continue through the weekend at the Ashland Springs Hotel and throughout the city. Click here for more information.

How can I be so young and be in love as much as I am? Why is my life turning out the way it is? Why can't people just accept others for who they are and not who they like? When will my life be the way I want it? Why do I even have to question all this? Life is full of fuckin questions that for the majority can't be answered. Why can't I answer any of them?
yah. people suck ass. seriously. not really, but yes really. I don't know why people can't be more accepting. It's what they preach right? I dunno, haven't been to church since last year. I don't know if life ever gets to be the way we want it to. Especially not in the early years. -shrug- we just gotta take what's goin on and roll with it. it'll be even harder for us bi girls. we may get beef from people who are gay or straight. trust me, shit happens but there will always be questions i think. maybe we aren't meant to know the answers right now. i just like to think that there is a reason things happen and we are given a choice on what to do about them. i don't know if there is a right or wrong choice. there are just different ways things could turn out. don't bother worrying over the people who make your life hell. just concentrate on those who make it worth living.
That makes sense. I kno kinda short response, but it sums it all up! :)

POSTED: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - 4:31pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - 4:33pm
Holloman AFB, NM — Santa Claus will once again have some special escorts as he makes his way through New Mexico Christmas Eve thanks to a Team Holloman volunteer effort dubbed "Operation Assist Santa" (OAS).
Aircraft from the 49th Wing will serve the jolly old elf in a number of ways to ensure he delivers his cargo safely, on-time and on-target.
"We are Santa's favorite wing. All the aircraft tails assigned to the 49th Wing are marked 'HO'. From the moment Santa and his reindeer take off, you can hear him calling for our escort … HO, HO, HO," said Col. Andrew Croft, 49th Wing commander.
The F-22 Raptor will serve as an escort, or wingman, while the MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper will provide Santa with "special intelligence" through naughty and nice sensors and sleep detectors installed on the two aircraft. The remotely piloted aircraft will also ensure Santa has safe landing zones in the Tularosa Basin and Sacramento Mountain areas.
"Our mission is to provide would-class support to Santa Claus, while meeting logistical, maintenance and operational objectives during this special mission," Croft said.
All the members of Team Holloman taking part in OAS have volunteered their time both during the important training required to complete the mission and during the operations Christmas Eve. The operation is funded through a special grant from the North Pole, so no taxpayer dollars are spent.
Each aircraft is outfitted with "secret" capabilities to make sure Santa is safe during his travels through New Mexico.
"The F-22 has armament options available such as garland/tinsel flares, snow dispersal units and a Christmas candy payload," said 1st Lieutenant Tory Donato, OAS intelligence officer. "The MQ-1 will not only provide path tracking for Santa's sleigh, but identify delivery points through 'naughty and nice' detectors, while the MQ-9 will use its 'sleep detectors' to assist Santa with safe passage into children's (aged 1 to 92) homes."
Personnel from Holloman have been assisting Santa since the base was created in 1942. Many of the details for these events remain "classified," but some of the support Santa receives from Team Holloman includes: 49th Maintenance Group, ensures all escort aircraft are ready to help Santa and help keep Santa's sleigh in tip-top shape; 49th Security Forces guard Santa's backup sleigh, while 49th SFS K-9 handlers assist with reindeer control; 49th Logistics Readiness provides any extra supplies Santa might need, while 49th LRS fuels handle Santa's highly sensitive "stealth" sleigh fuel; and 49th Operations Support air traffic controller ensure the skies are clear for Santa as he goes across New Mexico and the Southwest, as well as providing route de-confliction.
A special advanced team of elves from the North Pole were brought in to work with BEAR Base personnel to provide storage for toys and food for the reindeer. In addition the 4th Space Control Squadron at Holloman will be assisting NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) with tracking Santa. You can follow Santa's progress on NORAD radar at www.noradsanta.com [1].
One special group at Holloman who has served Santa faithfully through the years is the 96th Test Group. The 746th Test Squadron, which is the lead test organization in GPS evaluation, continues to do work with Santa to ensure he remains on track during his around the world flight, and the 846th Test Squadron, which is the Air Force's lead organization on all ejection seat testing and the lead facility for all supersonic testing, completes annual tests on Santa's sleigh so he can remain safe during his travels.
This "special" mission serves as a thank you to the residents of the Tularosa Basin and Sacramento Mountains who have supported Team Holloman during 2012. In addition, the mission will serve as a reminder of what 2013 will bring.
"With the tremendous amount of support we've received over the past year from the residents of the area, we wanted to ensure this special visitor completes his mission on time and on target," Colonel Croft said. "As everyone knows it is always a good idea to have a wingman when you're out there performing a mission."

How to Make a Beaded Braid Bracelet
Four Methods:Gather Your SuppliesCut and Braid the StringAdd Beads to the BraceletFinish the Bracelet
For a trendy and fun piece of jewelry, create a beaded bracelet that allows you to weave the beads into the bracelet. Mix and match or share and exchange them with friends.
Method 1 of 4: Gather Your Supplies
1Purchase high quality cotton string to act as your bracelet base. Your craft store will offer a wide variety of colors so choose your favorite.Ad
2Select metal or porcelain beads to populate your bracelet. Purchase several dozen beads for your bracelet; this amount lets you have extra beads on hand.
3Pick up a few buttons to be used on the end of your bracelet. You will be looping one end of the bracelet and then hooking the button into the loop to secure it in place. Find a button that matches not only the beads but also the string.
Method 2 of 4: Cut and Braid the String
1Cut two pieces of string that are at least four inches (10cm) long. Keep each piece of string the same length, as you will be joining them together.
2Fold the string in half, holding the string toward the end. You will be creating a loop with the string, so make sure you have enough room on the end.
3Hold the end of the string and create a loop on one end by double knotting the string around itself.
- Cut off any excess string after you've created the loop. This removes excess string hanging outside of the bracelet.
- Cut off any excess string after you've created the loop. This removes excess string hanging outside of the bracelet.
4Braid the bracelet, beginning by the knot that was tied underneath the loop. Braid the bracelet approximately ½ inch (1.5cm).
Method 3 of 4: Add Beads to the Bracelet
1Thread the first bead onto the first string. Loop over for the first step of the braid.
- Add the next bead and loop the string over itself.
- Continue adding beads and then make the next step for braiding.
- Add the next bead and loop the string over itself.
2Finish adding beads until approximately half of the bracelet is left. You will be braiding the remaining portion of the bracelet.
3Tie a small knot after the last bead to hold it in place. Make sure the knot is larger than the bead so it doesn't slide forward.
Method 4 of 4: Finish the Bracelet
1Braid the remaining portion of the bracelet and tie a knot toward the end. You will still need remaining string to add the button at the end.
2Thread the button onto the end of the bracelet and tie in place. You may want to thread the string through a needle in order to secure the button in place.
- Tie a strong knot in the end of the button to ensure it stays in place. Consider threading the string through the button and then tying it in place underneath the button.
- Tie a strong knot in the end of the button to ensure it stays in place. Consider threading the string through the button and then tying it in place underneath the button.
We could really use your help!
Adobe Photoshop?
- Consider using a variety of beads instead of a uniform beading per bracelet.
- Make sure you use a sharp pair of scissors to cut through the string, so that you don't leave unraveled string when cutting it.
- Add your own touch on the bracelet, the more you have the better!
- Try a bright color and a silver or gold bead.
Things You'll Need
- String, high quality cotton
- Scissors
- Beads
- Buttons

Community And The Holy Spirit Editor's note: Last fall, one of her pastors at First United Methodist Church, Birmingham, Mich., invited Alexa Frye to preach about her experiences at the 2004 Duke Youth Academy for Spiritual Formation.
"At that time I was reading a chapter of Romans nightly," said Alexa, a high school senior. "Every time I read Romans 12, God spoke to me more and more about my experience at Duke, and at that point I knew that the theme of the sermon was meant to be community." The following excerpt is from that sermon on Sept. 21, 2004. Someone once taught me that a Christian community is like steaming-hot coals. Keep them together, and they will keep each other warm and generate heat. If one coal is taken away, it loses the support of the other coals and quickly becomes cold and useless. Not only does this solitary coal suffer, but the rest of the coals lose an important component, and they, too, are unable to generate as much heat as they once could. I could grasp the whole hot coal, cold coal community idea. I have a supportive family community at home, a fun and loving community with my close friends, and an embracing community here at First United Methodist. Although I was content in each one of these communities . . . I found myself longing for the beautiful, almost magical component that appeared evident in Christian communities I read about in the Scriptures and heard about on Sundays. Over the two weeks I spent at Duke I learned that what my communities lacked—and what the Duke community provided—was the beautiful presence of the Holy Spirit. Now you're probably thinking, this girl went to Duke University for two weeks and all she got out of the experience was the realization that the Holy Spirit is a beautiful component of community? And my answer to that ... is yes. For the first time in my walk in Christianity, I didn't just experience the Spirit, I lived in it. What I experienced at Duke was nothing Duke provided. It was something we allowed Jesus to create in our midst. One night during the first week, I looked around the commons room and realized that one of my new found friends, Matt, wasn't there. My spirits lightened when I saw him heading my way, but I quickly realized that something was very wrong. He had just gotten a call from his mom telling him about the death of a friend. Not knowing what to say, I hugged him and let him know that I'd be praying and was there if he needed to talk. With that, we left for our own rooms. I couldn't help but thank God that night for allowing me to be there for Matt. When our community learned of his loss, we were able to come together as a support group for him and the others who suffered similar losses. Prayer was constant throughout the week. We kept our hearts open. Matt felt so much love and support that he decided to stay at Duke instead of returning home to the comfort of his family and friends. Jesus taught us how to provide the love and support Matt needed, and it was in our community that he could cope with his loss. Jesus really showed us how to "rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, and persevere in prayer." The Spirit was in the attitude each youth adopted towards service work; although we all came from different financial worlds, we did not "lag in zeal, but were ardent in the spirit and served the Lord." Despite our differences, we were able to "Contribute to the needs of Saints; and extend hospitality to strangers." If it had not been for my fellow youths' ability to learn to "not be haughty, but give yourselves humble tasks, do not claim to be wiser than you are," I wouldn't have had the benefit of late night talks that have had a huge impact on my perception of the world and ultimate understanding of who Jesus Christ is. Despite our different denominations, upbringings and values, we found a way to "live in harmony with one another." I still experience this community in weekly calls from many of my fellow youth, just calling to check in. After two weeks, it was time to leave the mountain. At home I began to notice where the Spirit was lacking in each of my communities. I also began to notice all of the places where the Spirit was at work. I realized that this beautiful idea of community isn't impossible or even unreasonable here at home, because at Duke I experienced Jesus in the atmosphere, the hugs, the tears, the attitudes, the talks, and the love. I realized that all of these things are attainable at home, too. Our church is a Christian community—it just happens to be a community of 3,000 people. In such a big church, it's easy to lose sight of this Spirit. So my challenge for myself, and for you, is to let the living God we serve into this community every chance we get, and to strive for the beauty a community of God can experience. Be aware of the needs of the community. We live in a culture that tries to break this sort of community apart, and we can't dance around the issues we all know are there. Let's confront the problems of teen sex, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce, the demand for financial success, time management, the unrealistic expectations set in the workforce. The list of problems we all face every day is unending. It could do a lot of good to discuss these things and provide support—instead of pretending the problems aren't there. If we continue down this path together, who knows where the Lord will take us? If we keep our eyes and hearts open to His Spirit, our community will continue to grow, and when we hear about communities in the Scriptures, we won't have to wonder about the extra bit of beauty, because we'll be living it. At Duke, I got a true glimpse of what heaven must be and how it really feels to be a part of the hot coals. It's this feeling that restored my faith in God and prepares my heart to serve the Lord. Remember, we serve a living God, and if we just let God into our lives and communities, we'll find that heaven really can be here on earth.

I Want You to Spank Me
I just returned from Blogher. This annual writing conference ,focusing on women's contribution to the web, took place in
One night we found ourselves surrounded by rum and Diet Coke in an old fashioned dive bar in
She quickly added, "I'm not kidding. I drop hints all the time. C'mon, slap my butt. I've been a bad girl. But he never does. NEVER. And thats what makes him so sweet. He doesn't want to hurt me. But what he doesn't get is that I want to be manhandled. Is it so wrong to want a good old fashioned spanking?"
I don't know. Is it? Seems the more I chat with women the more diverse answers I get.
Thinking about my own sometimes rowdy, and sometimes tender, sex life, I had to smile at the irony of a spanking. We don't hit our kids, so there would be some serious explaining to do if my son ever walking in on Rex disciplining me across his knees. And, at 6'1, I would feel kind of stupid. "Oh, Rex, slap my butt. But first, can you be a doll and get me a pillow for my legs? They're dragging on the hard wood." (Not that hard wood, you pervs! My floor.)
* Whether I personally lean toward a good spanking or not you'll never know. *
But I do see Vy's point. There's a time and a place for lovemaking. But there's something hugely sexy when I don't have to think about anything in bed. I am woman. You are man. Drag me to your sci fi Rex cave and make love to me. But the scary wielding club? Put it down. And the furry caveman hair. I have two words for you: Wax. Job.
And so does Rex. And a spanking good time is had by all.
* = My mother breathing a sigh of relief, followed by a, "Why did I spend money on four years of Catholic girls high school to have my daughter smack talk about sex on the internet? She soooo deserves a spanking."
