Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 21 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Meemers Cozy and great quality This review may be slightly premature because I only just received this in the mail, but seeing that this isn't available in stores and seems to be in interesting sizes, I figured I would provide some of the useful information. I'm 117 llbs, 5 f 8 and lean. So upon reading the sizing for the small size, I thought the sleeves were tremendously long so I ordered the xsmall. Here are the measurements for the xsmall: Sleeves: 17inches Length: 27.5 inches and 21 inches roughly from the armpit to armpit. The wool is soft, but obviously not like cashmere, and not itchy, but then again I'm very used to wearing wool. But chances are you will be wearing this with full sleeves so it shouldn't be a problem if you were to be super sensitive to wool fabric. The only thing I wish was that it would be a little bit longer, but maybe that would look awkward. If you size up, it looks like several inches are added to the garment in length, but then goes crazy in arm length and everywhere else which is a bit weird but I guess that's the look. The color, is a proper charcoal, I was really tempted with the red because it's freakin' adorable but the black would compliment more things in my closet. There is definitely some good room in the xsmall which is great because you're going to want to layer underneath in heavy winter conditions, and this is somewhat thin, but not too thin that you can't wear it as a coat. So give the quality and price, I can tell this will last me a long time - it's a great buy. Plus it's the perfect classic slouchy jacket, perfect for all who like that laid back look. 9.26.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fp_jamie Adorable and Well-Made This sweater is the perfect stand-in for a fall/winter jacket. It's definitely a heavier weight and the charcoal lambswool is super-soft and well-constructed. It looks nice open or buttoned up with a kind of oversized menswear tilt to it. I sized down from my usual S and the XS fits exactly like in the pictures. I've been wearing mine with ankle boots, a scarf and cropped skinny jeans and I love how effortlessly gorgeous it makes even simple outfits. My only concern is that online it says it's hand-washable while on the tag it says dry clean only-- Kind of important if you're the type of person who's factoring in care with the cost of the jacket! 10.12.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mujk perfect I've been looking for an oversized coat, and this is perfect. I thought the pictures made the material look a little thin, but it is definitely thick enough to wear as a coat. 10.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pdawg Really cute This sweater is so cute I bought the gray and the oatmeal. It is oversized AS advertised. I am pretty much a S but I got this in XS and it is perfect, loose but not too much. The S was too big all over. I don't find it that itchy either. 12.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ruesie makes me happy this slouchy jacket is perfect for fall and goes with nearly everything! it's well made, warm, and fits just as a large sweater jacket should, comfy but not shapeless. it fits TTS, the sleeves are a perfect length, and the pockets are large and in optimal hand cozying position. this jacket makes me happy every time i put it on :) 11.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rosienwhitey Best sweater jacket I love this jacket and it goes well with everything. I got my usual size (s) and it's still quite roomy but in a good way. I could wear a sweater or a sweatshirt underneath. It is thick and warm and cozy. I may get another colour if Free People made more! 5.7.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by southern-fp-love Awesome I have this and I love it. It definitely runs big and is meant to be baggy. I ordered my normal size, small, and its great. I am 5-8 and I love the length. Its insanely warm as well. Great basic for everyday or out for a nice occasion. I will say it balls up easy because of the material - so be gentle with this coat. Great buy and I love mine. 2.6.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by catharine Can't take it off I got this sweater in the light grey color for Christmas. I was super excited! When my mom purchased it, it was sold out in the xs (which I what I really needed) so she went up to the small. Although it's a bit more oversized than I would like, I literally have worn it everyday since Christmas! It's so comfy and SOOOO warm. It is a tiny bit itchy, but hasn't bothered me at all which is rare because usually wool does irritate my neck area. It does definitely smell like wool though. I imagine this will fade over time. So far so good! Overall, it's a bit big, but I still love it! I'm 5'3" and average to petite build, 34B chest, size 2 dress, size 26 pant. 1.2.2014

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
I am so sad to hear again, of another cruelty case against an innocent, young animal. Joey's eyes look so sad. You were lucky to have been found. How many similar cases go undected? How many times do we hear of a friend, neighbor, co-worker, knowing of or witnessing cruelty to an animal, and yet doing nothing? That must change, we must get involved for the sake and well being of the animal. When we hear, know, witness, suspect bad things happening, SPEAK UP, ACT and GET INVOLVED.
Wishing you Joey, a speedy recovery.
God Bless You Joey, sending prayers for your speedy recovery, and for finding a loving furever home where you'll be treasured the way you deserve.
Sending a big word of thanks to the kind people who found and took the time to rescue you.
Sending Thanks to ASPCA for helping with the medical care for you and capture your assailant.
These sorry idiots need to be caught, fined and jailed. How can anyone be so cruel to do this to any animal??? I pray for swift justice and for the recovery of this undeserving puppy. If we continue to make severe penalties and offer rewards maybe this world will wake up and stop this cruelty and abuse. What has happend to us???
oh please let me deal with this person!!!!!!
they would never hurt another animal again
That is terrible. What is WRONG with people??!
I hope they catch this moron.I just wonder where the rest of the pups are and the mom and dad!
sadly just another example of disregard for the elitist humans. Regardless of who did this the result will be a slap on the wrist as the laws concerning animals are not strict enough. As long as animals are just considered "property" the punishment will not fit the bill This animal lots of payback. Thank God the puppy lives..I will pray he makes a good recovery and is lovingly adopted.
I would like to see a bill passed that if a owner is caught with endangering an animal that they should have to pay a fine and work in a shelter for a year. Either work in a shelter or go to jail that simple because we cant do what they do to the animal they should have to deal with the animals under supervision and then maybe they would learn what it is like for those poor animals stupid people
Dear Joey, We are sending you so much love, light and peace! you are going to up and running and playing in no time!!! You hang in there little guy we all love you soooooooo much!!!!! xoxoxooxoxoxooxooxoxo and many more...............
My Prayers go out to you little Joey.. May God heal you and bring the horrible humane that did this to you to justice. All my love little Joey.

German Pinscher
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The German Pinscher is a member of the Working and Terrier Group.
24-25 lbs.
17-20 inches at the withers
The German Pinscher is commonly black and tan. Other colors include fawn, and blue and tan, red, stag red (with black hairs).
The German Pinscher sports a short, close lying coat that is dense, glossy and smooth.
The fearless German Pinscher is energetic, docile and loyal. This breed has a sense of humor. With its hunting instinct, this dog is quite determined.
Country of Origin:
The German Pinscher may have originated from the seventh-century German Birbarhund. As a descendant of the herding and guarding breeds, this dog worked as a farmer's vermin hunter. In the 1600s, the Black and Tan Terriers helped this breed develop into the Rattenfanger, the forerunner of the Standard Pinscher.
Deutscher Pinscher. Sometimes known as glatthaariger Pinscher or "Waveless Haired Pinscher"
If socialized, the German Pinscher can be friendly and playful. This highly intelligent dog with developed senses can sound the alert to strangers. This breed can become bored easily.
With its tendency to fight, this breed needs firm handling. The German Pinscher has a quick aptitude for training. The owner needs to let the dog know that growling at humans is unacceptable.
This high-energy breed loves lots of activity and running in open spaces. With a background in hunting, the German Pinscher can hunt for hours. Activities should stimulate both the mind and body.
The German Pinscher makes a fine watchdog and vocal guard dog. This breed barks loudly to announce visitors, and then calms down. Owners should show leadership skills. Owners should not consider this dog if small children are in the house. This defensive breed can protect and bite before thinking. The German Pinscher requires a tight-fenced yard, but must not remain outside alone. This dog will supervise housework, garden work and go to bed with the family. Be aware that the German Pinscher, without firm control, might take over the house. This breed has a life span of 12-14 years.

Comments about Paula Young Evette Wig by Estetica Designs:
This wig appears to be absolutely beautiful but I cannot buy it because it does not come in the large size. Come on Paula Young, there are 25 pages devoted to average size heads and only 3 pages to the large size heads. Would like this wig and the Jaclyn Smith wigs in large please. You are missing out on business because there are more big heads out here than you realize. Hope this will be improved on very soon. Plenty of styles, but still not enough choices on those large sizes. Thank you for reading this.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

PEMBROKE — There was one candidate to file for the Lumbee Tribal Council on Thursday, the day before the filing period ends.
Shelia Godwin became the fourth candidate to file for the District 6 seat currently held by Larry Chavis. District 6 includes North Pembroke and Raft Swamp.
In addition to Godwin, candidates for District 6 are Larry Townsend, Scott Bell and Michael Chavis. Larry Chavis cannot seek re-election because the constitution prohibits anyone from serving on the Tribal Council for more than two consecutive three-year terms.
Godwin, of Pembroke, is a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, where she received a bachelor of arts degree in Art Education. She has been employed as an art teacher with the Public Schools of Robeson County for 28 years, and currently works at Purnell Swett High School. She was named Teacher of the Year for the 1995-96 school year.
Her portrait of Julian Pierce, a civil rights leader who died in 1988, was featured at a recent dinner that raised more than $50,000 for a scholarship fund in Pierce's honor.
In a statement, Godwin said as a member of the council she wants to extend her knowledge of visual arts to Lumbee children. Her main focus, she said, would be to implement an art programs with the Boys and Girls Club in Pembroke.
Godwin is a member of Bear Swamp Baptist Church in Pembroke.
Since the candidate filing period opened on Aug. 26, 14 candidates have filed for seats in Districts 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 13. The filing period ended today at 5 p.m.

Hello. Once again, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, I'm still horribly confused but I -think- that I am practicing (or will be practicing???) Dzogchen. Which I know nothing about practically. :<
This part can be skipped really, it's just something I feel really bad about. I will try to separate into sections and summarize my questions at the end.
I've heard of the importance of having a teacher and I feel like I make a terrible student. I think I've stated this multiple times before, but I know pretty much nothing about any of this. I have many books, but I find myself still completely clueless. I'm the type that has to have verification on what to know and what not to know (so to speak), and my confidence is so low that learning by myself I fear I will learn something wrongly. I've only seen my teacher once in person, where he accepted me as his student and ever since then we've only talked a little through the occasional "Hello, how are you?" kind of message. I really hate to bother him by sending him petty messages, but he doesn't seem to mind. (Or does he? ) Either way, I've been wanting to get the chance to go see him, hoping he could teach me more although I've had the honor of Getse Rinpoche teaching me about taking refuge, The Three Jewels, and the 6 realms for starters.... even though it was in Tibetan and was translated, naturally XD I felt like I annoyed him greatly to be honest. My father told me to draw Guru Rinpoche and give the drawing as a gift to Getse Rinpoche, which I did. Then he asked me "You draw Thangka?" (As translated by his translator) to which I misinterpreted the question (I just realized this about 5 months afterwards HAHAHA!) and said "Oh no, this is my first time............." (also I'm EXTREMELY shy and awkward and I get nervous/panic attacks even just talking to waiters ordering a meal...... which happened when I tried to ask a question. I completely freaked out right in front of him. How pathetic....... that was not good at all, I almost started crying because I was too scared to ask a simple question. But anyway, I DID draw it off of a Thangka........ I am horrified with myself just thinking back at this. I feel like an idiot. I guess I wasn't thinking at the time since I stayed up late to finish the drawing. I'm not sure if he liked it. lol it was just average pencil drawing. In my father's word, "You draw this for Getse Rinpoche so when he goes back home he can say, 'This American girl drew this and gave it to me as a gift!'", yeah I don't know why I did it, if I had a photo of the drawing I'd show you guys but I don't. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't super good cause I'm not a pro or anything. I felt like I gave him some extra dead weight to carry around that he didn't exactly want.
Apparently, meeting Getse Rinpoche, and the other 2 teachers there was a pretty big deal. I had no clue (and still have no clue) what I was even doing there, I was invited but everything went by so fast people kept telling me how lucky I was, something about good karma of the past and building up a lot of merit, I understood none of it. But people kept going on about me being lucky and this and that, it made me a bit uncomfortable although it's true I've had eerily good luck my entire life so far.
But anyways...........!
The problem is that I've been so lost since we parted ways, I felt kind of empty afterwards. I had no sense of direction, I have so many books that I'm overwhelmed (17+ books to be exact my dad just bought them and sent me a bunch, I don't even have a place to put them!), it's only been a few months since I've started on this path. I know I shouldn't complain at all, I'm only 1 person and I'm very young, my teacher goes all over the world (all the time O_o ) to teach hundreds, probably thousands of people. Way more important than just one person such as me, so I try to tell myself that it's for the greater good but the truth is that I miss my teacher. I don't have anyone here to teach me or guide me, I have the internet but I'm too intimidated and don't even know where to start or what to ask. There are so many questions, but I'm too scared to ask, he's just so busy all the time, and I really really want my hug (Yes I asked for many, many hugs. From almost everyone, I simply thrive off of hugs, but up in the mountains people were looking at me funny for giving hugs. The strong ones! Is it a bad thing? D: I don't know. Should I stop? lol I don't mean to be disrespectful... I just need to hugs. I can't explain it.)
My teacher has only taught me "Om mani padme hum" and I am -trying- to work on it. He also gave me a mala (that's what it's called yes?), he gave it to me the day after he officially accepted me as his student and it's really pretty, if you'd like I'll even snap a picture, it has red string with white beads and 4 larger red beads, funnily enough red and white are 2 of my favorite colors!! (the only other one is black) It is my most valuable posession, not sure why but it is. Unfortunately, I was never taught how to use it, and I tried doing it myself from online instruction, I quit because I was uncomfortable doing it. I don't quite understand why he gave it to me to be honest, because he gave me no instruction on how to use it, we had a very limited time because everything was so busy and chaotic (more or less) people running back and forth, there was little time. I doubt it belongs to him, I'm not sure why he had extra malas laying around either, but I love it a lot, I don't know where to put it though!!! I refuse to wear it (although I like to) because I'm terrified it will break. If it breaks I will cry. A lot. So I just keep it in this bag that this nice lady gave me, I think it's made of silk. I keep it in another larger bag that's hung on the wall for it to be safe. But I feel bad, is it okay to carry on me? Should I leave it there? What do I even do with it at this point?
On the topic of not knowing where to put items, my father (for whatever reason) is sending me 3 statues that I view as "holy objects" because it is a representation you know? The thing is I'm living in a tiny trailer home that doesn't even belong to me, I have no place to put it but I can't refuse these objects or I'll cause some serious anger from my dad. I just got a job literally about a week ago (after working volunteer for months) and I'm not making a lot of money at all, just a little above minimum wage. Where do I put it? I don't want to put it in the bedroom because my fiance likes to walk around naked even through the entire HOUSE. It's a habit I can't break him of, plus he likes to do some uhm things that aren't appropriate and I don't want to disrespect these statues in any way, but I have no place to put them quite literally, I have a cat that jumps on shelves and she might knock them down, etc etc. What can I do?! Would a closed cabinet in the living room work? This is stressful for no reason. I was told to treat these objects including my mala with a lot of care and I'm not sure if I'm capable of doing so.
This is just a lot to take in for me, I'm 19 years old, am I too young to even be trying to get in on this?? Something else that people told me when I was up in the mountains where I converted (and where all this stuff happened basically) they kept saying things like "They had to work their entire lives just to get to where I'm at now", and how I'm lucky (again) that I'm 'the way I am' by nature, at this point I'm just like "get to where?!" But apparently whatever I'm doing, it's good. Except I have no clue what I did. I was reluctant to bring these things up, but it's bothered me every since because I didn't understand anything, I've never done anything good in my life, I was never smart (I'm still not), I haven't been to college because I don't have the money, I just got a job as an electricians assistant, only because no one else would work for that company because the pay is so bad. Which brings me to something else. Back on the mountains, the same day my teacher accepted me, some people asked him (there was about I think 40? people there) "Why did you accept her as your student, but not anyone else?" (he apparently has 2 students, me and another person) to which he replied "Because she is like a clear crystal." Naturally this just flew right over my head, it bothers me that I have no clue what he meant to be honest but I shouldn't complain. Funny thing though, afterwards the lady laughed and said "So I guess we're tainted?" To be honest it made me feel really bad........ I'm not exactly innocent you know?
Well I'll leave it there, a lot of things happened but that's basically it besides my dad's random want to send me stuff for my practice. Sorry for the rambling, I hate being confused (yet I am confused all the time)
-My teacher is always gone and I don't have the money to go see him. Can I practice on my own just from books?
-I feel like I'm not learning much from these books. I don't think I'm ready for meditation and this is all I can do for now. There's so many to choose from, should I read them all at once in no particular order? What should I do?
-Where do I put my mala? How do I take care of it? What do I do with it?? It's lonely. I hold it every once in a while because I think it gets cold. Should I just leave it alone?
-At the point I'm at now, what should I do for practice?
-Am I too young for this???
-Am I ready for this?
-Where do I put these statues? Do I need to make an altar??
-Is it normal to be this confused?
Ah, random but I mentioned Tilopa to my teacher where he seemed to get excited and said "Yes, that's a good one, read it!" ..................................but uh............... I don't have that book. I fail so miserably as a student. I told him, and he said "Oh I see, that's okay", but no, I think that I should drop everything to read it now. Does that sound like a good idea? I think I might buy it as soon as my paycheck comes in. This is probably bad for me to say but the story of Tilopa and Naropa is absolutely adorable to me!!! They're both so cute, honestly, sometimes I giggle when I think about it and I feel like I'm being disrespectful which I don't mean to be, I just think almost everything is cute :/ It's a curse of mine I think. But how can you not love that story? Or the both of them? Sometimes I swear my teacher only accepted me because he felt sorry for me. I feel bad that he has to put up with me honestly........... My guilty conscious sometimes prevents me from even wanting to message him because he's busy and I don't say anything important, which makes it worse because then I'll feel really bad afterwards for "ignoring" my teacher which wasn't exactly my intention. I'm so indecisive......
I'm sorry guys my mind is all over the place because it's late, I'm sorry this post is really disorganized, any questions you guys can answer is great, if not, that's cool too, I'm so sorry for wasting your time. I just want some answers and have nowhere to go for them not even phone contacts. Thank you so much in advanced!

Volunteer and Help End Hunger
While government programs provide a nutrition safety net for millions of Americans, people are still hungry. Many of our most valuable resources in the fight against hunger lie within the individual communities where hunger is most prevalent. Providing volunteers to capable organizations will energize the fight to end hunger.
This is one reason why the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Corporation for National and Community Service have teamed up to help you find volunteer opportunities to fight hunger in your community. In addition, on Serve.gov, you can find out more about hunger in the U.S. and learn how to start your own project with toolkits.

Okay, we admit it. Lady comes with certain limitations. She's a senior. Her limited vision and hearing make it so she can't live with cats or most other dogs. And well, she needs daily medication for her arthritis. WAIT! Don't click away quite yet. Even if you can't personally provide a home for Lady, we could really use your help in spreading the word.
Although Lady has endured a lot of suffering in her life, she adores hugs and kisses, playing tug-of-war, and—it's true—sitting in your lap! Despite her charming personality, she has been at our shelter for nearly two years. So we're asking all of our supporters to use social media to help Lady find a home for the holidays. Please share this flyer on your Facebook, Twitter, blog and other social networks. Together we can find her a home!
If you live in a teens-and-up household and are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please call our Adoption Center in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900, or come meet this special Lady in person.

Knowing how the global warming affects our earth is quite simple. judi bola You just need to look at the average temperature of your country and compare it with the data from the past. You will find that today's temperature is much higher than the past. However, you won't surprised with this data, because, global warming problem is widely known today. But, what if the real temperature isn't as low as what you can find on many resource that provide information about this matter. This is what Paul Homewood trying to uncover and share to public. There is bad thing happen behind us and some party uses everything to cover it up.
The Data from South America
Homewood found the odd of the temperature data when he checked the data from 3 weather stations in Paraguay. There is new adjustment that has been made in these stations. The actual data said that the temperature change trend isn't getting cooler, but, warmer. The most shocking thing would be how long the change or adjustment has been done. From the data he found, the change actually started 60 years ago, when there is temperature increase in 1940. Homewood reveals his found in this blog and hopefully this will become the main concern of many people, that our earth today face serious problem.
Next Found
Homewood doesn't want just use the data from those three weather stations in Paraguay. He wants more data about this odd adjustment. Then, he went to other weather station in South America. This time, he tries to look at the data that was made by Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN). They are the institution that is owned by US government. Homewood also uses data from Goddard Institute for Space Studies (Giss) and the National Climate Data Center (NCDC). We can say that these two institutions has big role in providing the data that we can find today. They have job to take measure of temperature for the wide area of our planet. Plus, their data also become the reference of many scientist and politician for knowing the real condition of global warming. And, Homewood also found some odd in their data here. Apparently, there is also problem that is related to the reliability of the data from Giss long time ago. In 1987, the data that was published by James Hansen show that the temperature in Arctic from Giss in 1940 is totally different with reality. It was much higher than what they shown on that time.
The Reason
Homewood does all these stuff, because he concern about what happen in Arctic today. The polar ice in Arctic can be said is on the track to vanish forever. It becomes even worst with the population of polar bear that become lower and decrease from day to day. Of course, this will become our responsibility. The temperature adjustment is wrong. Even if it was for avoiding panic in many countries, but, this is the reality. Knowing it is the best thing, so, all human can take an action from now to solve global warming problem.

I can follow that line of reasoning but it still leaves unanswered the question of thought and mental phenomena. Are they physical in nature or not? If they are non-physical then we have a source 'outside' the physical world that can effect the brain. My statement about circular reasoning had to with what would constitute proof of a non-physical force. Certainly mental phenomena are a mystery. If they are created by the brain what are they composed of? Where are they located? How are they perceived? I would be interested in hearing what the latest research shows on the timing of thought formation and brainwave activity. [quote author="James Austin 1998"]When scientists try to correlate the data from the different levels of analysis they are still uncertain which of our neurophysiological microstates is being reflected in such brief EEG landscapes and how any of the episodes correlates with the stream of topics which swirls around in our subjective mental field.
It is also recognized that the brain changes in response to learning new things, forming new neural pathways. How does the physical brain change in response to new ideas (non-physical phenomenon}?
One question about the line of reasoning that you espouse, if the brain wanted a hamburger why would it form a thought about it, perceive the thought, form another thought about the action, perceive that thought and then go get the burger? Unless you want to say that the brain felt it wanted a burger, then decided to go get the burger and the thoughts that were formed meant nothing, they were just after the fact window dressing. If indeed this is the case then thinking is meaningless, pointless or purposeless because the brain has already made all the decisions before we consciously know about them.

Leslie Mann wouldn't be the first beautiful woman to feign an illness to break a lunch date with an undesirable journalist, but she might be the funniest.
The actress, who grew up in Newport Beach and stars in the new movie comedy "This is 40," swore on a stack of Variety newspapers (the self-styled "show business bible") that she was really sick for our lunch, and pointed to a slightly dazed and confused appearance with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" as proof that she had been battling a terrible cold.
Eventually, she rallied long enough to sit down with the Orange County Register to discuss her movie, describe the trauma of turning 40 and explain why she agreed to appear topless in the film written and directed by her husband Judd Apatow.
In "This is 40," which opens Friday, Mann and Paul Rudd reprise the roles they introduced in Apatow's 2007 hit "Knocked Up." She was Katherine Heigl's sister in that movie (Heigl does not make an appearance in the new movie), and five years have passed. The couple are celebrating their 40th birthdays while dealing with sometimes-difficult daughters (played by Mann and Apatow's real-life 14-year-old daughter Maude and 10-year-old daughter Iris), financial struggles, marital troubles and a nagging mid-life crisis.
See the five things Leslie Mann most misses about Orange County
Mann, a graduate of Corona del Mar High School, met her husband on the set of the movie "The Cable Guy." He was a producer on that film, and has cast his wife in six of his comedies, including "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Drillbit Taylor" and "Funny People," but she also has appeared in other filmmakers' work, such as "Big Daddy," "George of the Jungle" and "17 Again."
The actress next will play Emma Watson's mom in the film "The Bling Ring."
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: You're not going to die on me, are you?
LESLIE MANN: I am so sorry I missed lunch.
Q. That's OK. I saw you on Leno, and you really looked sick.
A. I did that show on pure adrenalin. I kept getting worse and worse after that. I feel awful about lunch.
Q. Do you really think you're the first attractive blonde to use that excuse?
A (laughs so hard, she chokes) I will go to lunch with you anytime. I just didn't want to infect you.
Q. All is forgiven. Now, before you croak, tell me how long after "Knocked Up" Judd decided to do this movie about the same couple.
A. Two or three years after the first movie. He asked me about it, and I thought it sounded like a good idea. We had conversations about it every day for a year.

How to Become a Ranger
This is not an easy, quick award to earn. It will take planning, time, initiative, and plenty of hard work. It will probably take you over a year to complete all the requirements, but that too will speak to your determination and staying power, two more attributes of a Ranger.
There are two types of requirements: Core requirements and Electives
In the core area, you will achieve a high level of proficiency in the areas of:
|First Aid
|Leave No Trace
|Wilderness Survival
|Emergency Preparedness
|Land Navigation
In addition to the eight core requirements, you must complete at least four of the 18 electives. They are:
|Cave Exploring
|Outdoor Living History
|Cycling/Mountain Biking
|Physical Fitness
|Plants and Wildlife
|Project COPE
|First Aid
|Shooting Sports
|Winter Sports
Venturers, who have received the Outdoor Bronze Award, need only complete four of the core requirements and two electives to qualify for the Ranger Award, since they already have completed four core requirements and two electives already.
There are a variety of ways to approach these requirements. Many requirements you must do completely on your own. Others you might choose to do on your own or with others, such as scuba certification. Others your crew might decide to do as a crew, such as Project COPE. The key is to have a plan and to have initiative. Not everyone will be a Ranger; only those who are willing to learn, work hard, and meet the requirements will be known as Rangers.
You may work with outside consultants who have expertise in the area you are working in, such as a scuba dive instructor for the scuba diving requirement or a certified first aid instructor for the first aid requirement. However, you must have these consultants preapproved by your Advisor. Consultants may initial and date your Ranger Guidebook when you have completed the requirement.
Once you have completed a requirement, have your Advisor or the consultant who worked with you on your requirement initial and date your Ranger Guidebook. Then, when you complete all eight core requirements and at least four electives, have your Advisor review your completed requirements, certify your completion of the Ranger Award requirements, and order your Ranger Award.
Multiple Credit
You may receive multiple credit for requirements, such as using an American Red Cross Emergency Response Course for credit in the first aid core requirement and for the first aid and lifesaver electives. The only time you cannot receive multiple credit is when you are required to do a tabletop display or presentation. If a core requirement or elective requires you to do a tabletop display or presentation on a particular subject, then it must be done just on that subject, not two or more at a time.
Past Credit
All core requirements and electives require you to do work as a Venturer. As an example, you may have earned the Backpacking merit badge as a Boy Scout, but you must do all that is required in the Ranger backpacking elective as a Venturer. Some core requirements and electives require some type of certification, such as scuba Open Water Diver, Standard First Aid, or BSA Lifeguard. This certification may be used regardless of when you received it as long as the certification is still current.

Tyler Antwine is having a blast at Bethel Christian Academy, and the Trojans baseball team is having a blast with him.
Antwine, a senior, transferred to the private school from North Lenoir following his sophomore year to "increase my Biblical knowledge," he said. He also wanted to hone his skills on the diamond.
As the Trojans (9-6, 6-1) put their first place standing in the conference and four-game win streak on the line this afternoon at Greenville Trinity Christian, Antwine leads the team in most offensive categories. He's also one of their go-to guys on the mound.
All told the right-hander is enjoying himself.
"We've been putting in a lot of work out here. The pieces are just finally coming together offensively, and that's helping us a lot," Antwine said.
"The opportunity I've had out here is a lot better. It's been a lot of fun."
Antwine has a team-best .475 average, and is first in plate appearances (59), runs scored (27), hits (19), extra-base hits (3), walks (18), stolen bases (eight), on-base percentage (.644) and slugging (.550). He's second in RBIs at 12 behind Austin Croom's 15.
On the mound, he's 2-3 with a 5.33 ERA in seven appearances — six starts. He leads the team in strikeouts with 26.
Not bad for a kid who hadn't pitched ever, in his life, before last season.
"He's been a real workhorse for us this season, both on the mound and at the plate," Trojans coach Kenny Sutton said.
"We're glad he's here. He's having a great senior year."
Today's game marks the anniversary of Antwine's first career start.
It's also a reminder of just how far he's come.
Antwine pitched a complete-game win in extra innings at Trinity last season, but it wound up being his last outing of the year. Antwine said he injured his throwing shoulder at some point during the game and never quite recovered.
Not only did he not take the hill again as a junior, the pain in his shoulder affected his defense at shortstop and his hitting.
"I didn't really do that well last year because I got hurt," Antwine said, "but this year I'm doing pretty good."
Today, Antwine's shoulder is completely healed and so has his game. The Trojans have three games left in the regular season — all this week — and then it's on to the playoffs.
Bethel won back-to-back N.C. Christian School Association state 2A titles in 2010 and 2011, and in Antwine's first year it came up short.
He isn't planning on coming up short this year.
"It'll be a happy end to all this hard work I, and my team, have been putting out," Antwine said. "We have a lot of potential, and we haven't even begun to meet it yet."

Mele's Tally and Defense All Women's Soccer Needs in 1-0 Win at Lees-McRae
October 2, 2010
BANNER ELK, N.C. Pfeiffer University freshman Serae Mele (Rio Rancho, NM) put home the only goal of the contest in the ninth minute of play leading the Lady Falcons to a 1-0 road win at Lees-McRae on Saturday afternoon. The win pushes Pfeiffer a game over .500 overall at 5-4, standing at 3-1 in league play. The loss sends the Lady Bobcats to 8-3, 4-2.
Mele wasted little time in scoring at the 8:29 mark of the opening half receiving a loose ball coming in from the corner and finding the far post for the strike. The tally was one of just three shots on goal for the Lady Falcons as net minder Jamie Alcala (Fredericksburg, VA) turned away eight Lees-McRae shots in the first shutout of the year.
The Lady Bobcats had twice as many overall shots than their on-goal total, with the best opportunity coming in the 87th minute. Lees-McRaes Vickie Rich tried for the equalizer but clanked her shot of the post. Alcala made four saves in each half as the Lady Falcon defense held strong in front.
Pfeiffer will get back to action on Wednesday night traveling to cross-town rival Catawba for a key region matchup. The mid-week contest is set to begin at 7:00 p.m.

love it!! (warm fuzzies)

Genuine new life offered by God's grace doesn't come from accepting who you are; it comes from accepting who Christ is and dying to your sinful passions and living your life in the power of Christ, through whom all sin is overcome.
The Apostle Paul recounted the same struggle with his own pattern of sinful behavior in Romans 7:15-25, pushing him to the end of himself: "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death!". That's my story, that's your story, that's all who come to Christ story.

I realize that our friends, the homophobes, who attack viciously and use the Bible as a weapon may not get this: We live in a world with so many unwanted children. Even before I was a Christian, I never could tolerate abortion--life is precious. Yet children live here without parents or are put in foster homes because their parents cannot care for them. I am waiting for the onslaught, but here is my view: gay couples with a long term commitment to each other are doing God's work when they adopt children. I've known many gay couples who adopt children no one else will go near--kids with HIV, crack babies, kids who are psychologically troubled, kids born with disabilities. That is an act of mercy and goodness. We live in a severely overpopulated world. If as Christians, we refuse to endores abortion, then what happens to children who are born into hellish circumstances? I have seen gay couples rise to the occasion again and again. Leviticus was written for a different time. We are all too fruitful and we multiply to a point that the earth will soon not be able to handle the population growth. What is wrong with couples, be they straight and childless, or gay and childless, to adopt the unwanted? I see Jesus in such actions. I don't expect those who have made up their minds on this issue to see it my way. But I want this to be said.
- ~Deb said...
Kathi: Thank you!
Lisa: Aren't they the cutest things???
Mark: What sinful behavior? Homosexuality isn't a sin. Being promiscuous is. I have my own sins to contend with, just like anyone else. Just because I have a partner, doesn't mean I'm doing anything immoral in God's eyes. Can you explain why the flamingos are gay if they didn't consciously "choose" to be gay? Thanks for stopping by!
Enemy: You're absolutely right! Leviticus was written in a different time, which we are no longer bound to the law. They can't use that against us. It's impossible. They can't change our minds, and we cannot change theirs. I think the more they try to attack us, the more we see how unhappy these people truly are.
- Loud Mouth said...
Prime example that it's not a "choice" as these other fanatics would say it is. I wonder if these flamingos woke up one morning and said, "Hmmmmmmmm, I don't believe I want to be a heterosexual any longer"? Mark doesn't choose men because he was born a heterosexual. He didn't "choose" to love women, did he, and he's just in denial? One never knows!
Hey Mark, put your bible down for one moment and answer me this- did you choose to be straight?
- ~Deb said...
Funny thing, my little niece who is 4 yrs old wears boys' clothes, wanted her hair cut short and will only play with boy toys. She says to never call her a girl. She gets offended when you do. Now, we have no clue if it's a gender identity confusion or that she simply feels more comfortable looking and acting like a boy. Does it mean she's going to be gay when she gets older? I have no clue- 'cause sexual orientation has nothing to do with sexual preferences, however, I don't believe she "chose" this---I believe she was like this since she was born. I was the same way when I was her age. I seriously don't believe it's a matter of choice.
75% of Amy's family (on her father's side) are gay. What explains that?
Who in their right mind would want to choose being gay? It's a harder life, a harder battle and a difficult road when there's so many hateful people who just can't act civil towards one another if they aren't just like them.
- Leesa said...
Flamingos scare me. Ever since Alice in Wonderland. But otherwise, a cute story.
- Enemy of the Republic said...
Sorry I didn't touch upon the flamingos. I was just preparing for another onslaught of sin accusation. There has been a lot of scientific research that shows that many species have same sex mates, even among dolphins whose intellect curiously reflects our own. And Loud Mouth is right: it isn't a choice. It is orientation.
- ~Deb said...
Leesa: Flamingos only scare me when I see them on my aunt's lawn. You know how those Italians can be!
Ememy: Clearly it's not a choice, as if I were to make this life decision at birth! Sin accusation? Where? Not on my blog of course! Why I neva!!! ;)
- Natalia said...
Awww so cute. My friend and his husband adopted a little girl about a year and a half ago and they are in the process of looking for a little boy to adopt this year.
They have such a happy family. I love spending time with them.

Deb said:
"Can you explain why the flamingos are gay if they didn't consciously "choose" to be gay?"
Okay, I'm just saying: If you stopped by this conversation and only saw this one line without knowing what the conversation was about, you would laugh out loud really hard.
:-) Yes, I know that was random. Can you tell I'm avoiding work?
- ~Deb said...
Hahaa!!!!!! Ah geez, it's been a long day. Just saying that sentence regardless if you read the entire thread sounds completely ridiculous! When's happy hour?
- ~Deb said...
(Still laughing over that Lisa!)
Intellectual flamingos!
- Lisa said...
"The flamingos are gay! The flamingos are gay! Can anyone explain why the flamingos are gay???"
I bet Mark can.
- ~Deb said...
That explains their pink outfits...
- Mark said...
enemy of Republic says I realize that our friends, the homophobes, who attack viciously and use the Bible as a weapon may not get this:
Did you just call me a homophobe ? and in the same breath attack viciously? and NOT use the Bible, as if there is another source for absolutes or right and wrong? Shall all of the unsaved humanity gather around your feet while you mutter truth without the Bible? When we believe it, what shall we say is the source then?
Of Course you did, that's why you are a willing fool. You would do well to understand exactly what Christ says about such willingness to disregard His word. btw, give me your definition of homophobe and I'd be happy to spoon feed you the error and lie you worship.
A Swine's ass aka loud mouth ask Hey Mark, put your bible down for one moment and answer me this- did you choose to be straight?
Like I have said more than once here, 'straight' nor 'homosexual desires' are the issue. Please write that down Loud mouth aka piglet. It is about God's holiness, and that alone. You either accept it, or deny it. To make a human desire Holy before our God just because we have it, is sleeping, eating, and living IN Satan, not God. Hence, Christless. So is asking any man not to use his Bible for direction. i.e. Hey Mark, put your bible down for one moment.
When rational men and women gather here and actually believe, attribute, and celebrate two birds being what they call "gay", should make any follower of Christ shudder in sadness and despair. Nothing new however, the OT is filled with such men and women in a fallen folly. Eternal death is at stake people. It amazes me in 2007 it only takes a couple of Birds and one stolen egg, to muff the lost.
- Mark said...
6) But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.'
7) 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8) and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9) Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
NT even. Ya'll gotta a lot of explaining to do, and most will. Sad.
- Maddie said...
That was sooo cute! I have not seen this flamingo clip before, that was very interesting. I have seen other animal life partners such as penguins and dolphins. Carlos and Fernando are great and so is their little chickee. Can I have them, pleeeeze!
What a moron this Mark character is. He's probably lonely.
- Lisa said...
Mark... it's a crock.
If you were truly so passionate about "saving the lost," I'd think you'd understand that nobody accepts your beliefs when you instult them. I think you relish the idea of winning a war of words more than the idea of convincing anyone of your truth. I find THAT sad. If it's really a matter of eternal life and death, treat it with the gravity it deserves and do away with the name-calling. You're a grown man. Leave it on the playground already.
Seriously. If we're talking about what's holy and appropriate: You think God expects you, Mark, to draw anyone closer to Him by calling them a swine's ass? Do you really? Answer me that. (Not that you will; you seem to neatly skip over any confrontation of your attacking style.)

Leaving out politics, religion and sexuality homo- or hetero- and just accepting this for what it is, it is..........
and as a birdlover (hens and cocks, so what does that make me?) it made me go..... aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Well, Deb, I just came by for a friendly visit and see that Mark got offended--no, Mark, I was not thinking of YOU in particular. The world does not revolve around your belief system and your dogged insistence that some scripture is more important than other. No, I didn't quote the Bible. In your estimation, that must make my views less acceptable. But I am deliberately avoiding it on this page as I see the Bible used too often as a way to hurt people. I will not participate in that. If you think that I think you are a homophobe, you certainly can deny it. But why should you care when I am so clearly in the wrong and you are right? You shouldn't care what I think. I don't interest myself with your opinion either.
- Natalia said...
I do love it how no one here will touch that whole thing of why if bunnies and shrimp and shaving are also offenses against this so-called god, we have only chosen to respect his thoughts on homosexuality and not the other things. Hmmmm. Makes one wonder. But then again...I don't. I know why.
Also, did you know that there have been many studies that link homophobia with homo erotic feelings? That those men who were self-proclaimed homophones were the ones who showed more excitement at the sight of homo erotic scenes? Very very telling indeed.
- Dan said...
Deb! This is great!
It actually doesn't surprise me that a male flamingo would be gay every now and then ... after all, the poor things are forced to be PINK since birth!!
Have a great weekend my sweet friend!

Homosexuality is not a sin but condemning it in God's name is, which is one of the many reasons why organised religion is failing to meet our spiritual needs.
I am a married mother of 2 and a lapsed catholic, just to put my comment in perspective.
Natalia - this is the very reason why I assume that this Mark character is a closet homosexual. He is on this blog all the time. You have to wonder why. Is he really that upset that Deb's a lesbian? Or is he really upset that there is actually somebody out there that is right with God and yet still homosexual?
Mark, come out of the closet already my friend.
- Natalia said...
That's what I think about all these people crowing about homosexuality. Why would someone devote their lives to it? I think they are just jealous that other people are living the life they wish they could if they were honest with themselves and had the balls to do it.
It makes me really sad for them that their desires have to be put away and all the bitterness comes in hatred for those living their lives to the max.
Oh well.
- Loud Mouth said...
As for Mark's situation, this may apply:
Research by US psychologist Prof. Adams of the University of Georgia suggests that 80 percent of men who are homophobic have secret homosexual feelings.
In Prof. Adams's test, homophobic men who said they were exclusively heterosexual were shown gay sex videos. Four out of five became sexually aroused by the homoerotic imagery, as recorded by a penile circumference measuring device (a plethysmograph).
Prof. Adams's research was published in the prestigious US Journal of Abnormal Psychology in
1996, with the backing of the American Psychological Association.
Prof. Adams says his research shows that most homophobes "demonstrate significant sexual arousal to homosexual erotic stimuli", suggesting that homophobia is a form of "latent homosexuality where persons are either unaware of or deny their homosexual urges".
These findings support the theories that homophobia (fear and hatred of gayness and support for antigay discrimination) is often indicative of repressed, self-loathing homosexual feelings; and that many homophobes subconsciously use anti-gay attitudes as a smokescreen to disguise their own homosexuality.
- ~Deb said...
I'm not too sure if Mark would be considered a closeted gay, however his concern for others who are homosexual is extreme. A lot of radical Christians focus a lot on the gay and lesbians, however they also miss important issues, like adultery, murder, stealing, etc. What about those sins? If they know they're not going to change somebody's views, then why bother? I think it's just the way Mark's religion guides him to.
And if he is secretly gay, he's resisting the urges for his creator. (Which is a great thing if he believes that it'll save him.) But, I don't think he's gay – regardless of studies and what have you. I joke around with him and ask if he's secretly gay, but I think he's just openly judgmental. (bwahaha) ;)
Let's ask him!
Mark, are you gay?
- ~Deb said...
Wait---maybe he's a "closet-acceptor"?
- Take 2 said...
Hey Deb,
Cute flamingos!
I see Mark is still visiting....
Well Mark.... I am still praying for you.
I will never go to Mark's blog again either cuz when I did not quote scripture to him he called me an athiest.... or maybe it was someone else on his site. I can't remember now.... I have better things to do with my time.
Anyways... honestly guys I don't understand the gay lifestyle and Deb you know that from previous conversations I have had with you. But I agree with all of you when you say why would you choose a gay lifestyle with all the pain and judgement you face daily!! I can not help but agree with that.
I live in a small, bible belt town... I love Jesus and all I know is I am not going to judge you. That is God's job....
So with that said.... I am gonna go. Blessings to all of you.
- Mark said...
Mark, to draw anyone closer to Him by calling them a swine's ass? Do you really? Answer me that. (Not that you will; you seem to neatly skip over any confrontation of your attacking style.)
Brood of vipers ring a bell? I have no desire to draw anyone anywhere ms lisa. I will however proclaim God's word all be it imperfect to sweet innocent ears like yours. The rest is between those who hear and those who refuse to hear, and God.
Mark, come out of the closet already my friend
And if he is secretly gay, he's resisting the urges for his creator.
Kinda like a child molestor Deb? Please get a clue dear. I have many sins I battle daily. Same sex attractions is not one of them but no more or less important in my walk and relationship with Christ.
Since ya'll are kind a dense, I'll repeat myself again, please at lest think about it.
It is about God's holiness, and that alone. You either accept it, or deny it. To make a human desire Holy before our God just because we have it, is sleeping, eating, and living IN Satan, not God. Hence, Christless.
Deb, love you. You remain in my prayers. :)
- ~Deb said...
Take 2: He does take cheap shots at people when they disagree with him --because as we all know, he's always right...never wrong.
Mark: I was stating that I didn't think you were. I was saying, "if" you were and was holding back urges for your creator, than that was great- but I wasn't saying you were gay.
You get a clue my friend. Obviously you do have some deep seeded issues. Maybe you are closeted since you got so defensive over that one, when I was actually assuming you weren't.
Hmm. Now I have to wonder.
- ~Deb said...
By the way Mark, why don't you list out your "sins" and then we can sit here and judge one another all day.
- Mark said...
Deb, I did not mean to offend you. I understood what you said.
I really do not care what anyone thinks about me. I know that may sound arrogant, but my only concern at the end of the day is what God thinks.
My sins:
not honoring my parents
taking my Lord's name in vain
have at it dear.
- Loud Mouth said...
Don't sweat it sista, this guy has some major problems. HA---and you were defending this closet case!
- ~Deb said...
- This comment has been removed by the author.
- ~Deb said...
Mark: Well then, I appreciate your honesty with listing out your sins. Thank you. I'm sure we all struggle with our own crosses. This makes you human.
Loud mouth: It's all good...It's just that he needs to know that God is all forgiving and that I feel he shouldn't give into all the guilt. Guilt and shame are all emotions from the devil. Just focus on God. Isn't that our target here? God sees everyone's heart and everyone's struggle.
- Mark said...
Guilt and shame are all emotions from the devil. Just focus on God. Isn't that our target here? God sees everyone's heart and everyone's struggle.
Well said Deb! I pray however you do not confuse guilt with true repentance. Christ was our way, our only way, but not for the unrepentant. Pride must not be the wall that sperates us from Him. True repentance actually brings joy in Christ saving us. It is daily Deb, daily.
- ~Deb said...
I'm not repenting for being in a loving relationship with my partner. I do not believe homosexuality is a sin, Mark. The bible believes that promiscuity is a sin, heterosexual OR homosexual. Maybe if you can get it in your head that we do not see eye-to-eye, then you wouldn't have to come on here to defend the homosexuality issue. It will never change my beliefs.
Be well!
- Enemy of the Republic said...
Mark--I don't like your Christ. I don't like your Jesus. The God you portray is hateful and cruel. He is also not biblical. Think about Jesus's prayer before the Passion; he thought of his flock and worried for them even though he was about to suffer untold agonies. What is it about love that you hate so much? And if you dare attack me, which I am sure you will, you shall only prove my point even further. No wonder people can't stand Christians.
- Natalia said...
I think if you put a few of these males that come here and preach hatred in a room alone, there will be a lot happening. And I don't mean fighting. Spread the love!!!! ROTFL!
- Lisa said...
"Brood of vipers ring a bell? I have no desire to draw anyone anywhere ms lisa. I will however proclaim God's word all be it imperfect to sweet innocent ears like yours. The rest is between those who hear and those who refuse to hear, and God."
You know nothing about my ears, Mr. Mark.
I'm not talking about proclaiming God's word. We as Christians are called to do that. I'm talking about proclaiming God's word IN LOVE, which God commands you to do and which you do not do because of your nasty attitude. Perhaps you should be a little less concerned about what God thinks of you proclaiming His word (since you obviously have no problem sharing your thoughts) and a little more concerned with how you show the love of Christ to your fellow human.
Way to sidestep the issue there.
- Lisa said...
"You know nothing about my ears, Mr. Mark. "
hahahah.. yet another one of those statements that, if read without reading the thread, makes me laugh out loud. :-)
- Mark said...
Think about Jesus's prayer before the Passion; he thought of his flock and worried for them even though he was about to suffer untold agonies. What is it about love that you hate so much?
What is it about Christ's love do you have a hard time dealing with ms Republic? Is it His commands? His holiness? Why did Christ die? So Deb can say two men expressing their love for one another may be called Holy?
You know better Ms Republic, but you prefer to be liked in this world then speak the truth to her, even though you could probably do it much better than I do. That is NOT love. Heaven and Hell are real. Both are eternal. I'd start yelling at those you love before it's too late, no? But please don't do it the way I do. Do it with real love, no cursing or name calling. They will listen much better that way.
Deb says
I'm not repenting for being in a loving relationship with my partner.
That's the exact same thing a pedophile said to me while in prison. Hummm... Christ and God's word was not his priority either.
- Mark said...
I think if you put a few of these males that come here and preach hatred in a room alone, there will be a lot happening. And I don't mean fighting. Spread the love!!!! ROTFL!
Natalialard, Should you not be in Chicago at the Leather and Men fest?
- ~Deb said...
Oh, so just let me know when the authorities are going to raid my house and take away my partner and I for living together as a loving couple. That's priceless Mark! Shows true intelligence.
Mark's sins:
murder <--who?? you killed someone?
lieing <--lying?
hypocrite <--this one is ongoing
not honoring my parents <--oooh, you made it in the top ten commandments!!!
taking my Lord's name in vain<--rebel!
(AS he stated...)
Well, if you murdered someone as you stated, then who should be the one in jail right now?
Do you want this to be a judgment battle or do you want to just agree that we are all sinners and fall short?
And no, homosexuality is NOT a sin. Promiscuity is. Big difference.
- Sandalina said...
I think you relish the idea of winning a war of words more than the idea of convincing anyone of your truth.
Yup. That pretty much sums up how I feel about Mark too. But I'm "weak skinned" and "would rather not offend anyone with the Gospel", according to Mark.
"The Gospel according to Mark"...AHAHAHAHA that pun was SO NOT INTENDED. (However, I have used that sweet little remark before and it was intentional. heehee)
Mark knows people very well. He is all knowing and can sum up your whole life story from a few blog comments. He's JUST that good. **Snicker**
Deb...I'm being induced on Monday...this kid is still hanging out in here! He gets his walking papers Monday though..heehee
- ~Deb said...
Who woulda' thunk that a video about pink flamingos would rile up the bible thumpers, Sandalina???
AWEEEEEEE!!! You're gonna finally have your little one in your arms! He/she's too comfy in there---that's the problem! I hope everything goes well and that you're feeling okay. I'm going to miss you girl! Let me know how you're doing when you have time. ***WHEN*** KEY WORD THERE! ;)
- Enemy of the Republic said...
I understand your drift, but we disagree. I read God's word and there is nothing in it that convinces me that homosexuality of itself is wrong. Nothing. Promiscuity, immoral acts as Paul would call them--that is different. But there is absolutely no evidence that a gay individual, orientated as such, which implies that God intended such for his creation, is sinning in a loving, committed relationship. And God is bigger than sending Deb to hell for being gay if that is your argument. Jesus didn't come to change gays into heteros; he came to defeat sin and death. Deb is covered by the blood shed at Calvary NO MATTER WHAT. I cannot tell Deb she is sinning when I don't see it. And even if she were, don't I have sins of my own to worry about first? But she isn't living in sin. Trust me, Mark, I don't care about being liked. I don't like to get rude unless I must, and I am capable of such. But I don't see things your way. I don't think I can be clearer than that.
- Natalia said...
Am I missing the fest??? Awww bummer! Mark, get your toys and let's go! :) You are obviously more in the loop about these parties than I am. Bless you!
- Lisa said...
Mark said: "But please don't do it the way I do. Do it with real love, no cursing or name calling. They will listen much better that way."
uh.. isn't TRYING to get people to listen the point of presenting a message to begin with?
Has nothing at all to do with being liked.. has everything to do with presenting opposing views in a way that doesn't personally attack and belittle your opponent. If you want people to listen to the truth, you don't start out by name-calling and belittling. THAT is something that Jesus NEVER DID, and that's not a debatable point. It's fact.
But whatever. You know better, I'm sure.
- Mark said...
Mark knows people very well. He is all knowing and can sum up your whole life story from a few blog comments. He's JUST that good.
ahh thanks sandalina! I knew you loved me. I really appreciate that. God's speed with the yard monkey. :)
Yes murder, hate in the eyes of God is murder. is that new to you?
enemy of da republic,
I read God's word and there is nothing in it that convinces me that homosexuality of itself is wrong. Nothing.
May I refer you to your Bible.
You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Oh that's right, that no longer applies, god changes His mind, and Christ was not God in flesh, nor do any non red letters in the Bible apply becuase the NT gospels and letters were wrtten by Men, not God.
I stand corrected.
- ~Deb said...
As you repeat the same "OLD" scripture my friend, let me repeat this...
Levticus - OLD - we no longer are bound by that law
Romans - Promiscuity and orgies ----women got bored with men and vise/versa for switching purposes. Read into it, don't read the text, understand the bible.
And again, to me, homosexuality between two people who love one another like a husband and wife is NOT a sin. And-----get this Mark-----I'm HAPPY! :D I really don't care what sin you're struggling with, because I know that God has forgiven you. As long as you focus on God and know that Jesus died for your sins, everything is okay. Stay focused on Him, and not on other people of this world. It's that simple.
God bless!

- Miss 1999 said...
Children need two parents who love them, and will be there to support them, no matter what. So what if it happens to be two men, or two women? I was raised by my mother, and father-- as well as my Aunt Judy (my mom's oldest sister). To some people, it would seem strange that I've always had a bedroom at her house, and treat her as if she's my mom, too, but to me, it's nothing strange. She loves me, and has provided well for me, as well as my parents my entire life. Although, they're all straight, it's still two women and one man in my life-- which to me, is no different than two women who are lesbians or two men who are gay.
Love is love-- and children need a lot of it!
*Hugs and Love*
PS: Pink flamingos rock!

- ~Deb said...
Whims: Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you more often.
Miss 1999: Hey Christy! I think in a loving, nurturing home, a child can get great care regardless if they're straight, gay or a one parent household. When there's child abuse of any sort, verbal or physical, then that can cause detrimental harm on the child's psyche for the rest of his/her life. Thanks for your thoughts!
Wes: Take it up with CNN! (hehe) Do you think I made that video myself???
Lorna: Aren't they a cute couple?
- Mark said...
I really don't care what sin you're struggling with, because I know that God has forgiven you. As long as you focus on God and know that Jesus died for your sins, everything is okay. Stay focused on Him, and not on other people of this world. It's that simple.
Oh.. ok Deb, then having my way with...insert anything your flesh, mind, world desires would be ok with Christ? After all, I do focus on Him a lot. I really do. really, I do.
Could you define sin for me, just in case I forget? I've read about it in the Bible and also repentance? Is all that stuff just for other people?
Levticus - OLD - we no longer are bound by that law
What law am I bound to other than the man made laws of the country/state I live in? if any Deb? I just wanna be sure, ya know, all that eternal stuff.
And-----get this Mark-----I'm HAPPY! :D
..and that is what is most important Deb! You go girlfriend! I love your quilt like theology. There is something good in all of it. It's like a buffet, and Christ is pleased with your advice I suspect. That is of course why He was nailed to a tree after all, right?
I am off to some porn sites, thank god for Christ, otherwise I would be worried about going to hell and stuff like that. But just in case, please make me feel better by answering my questions about sin, repentance and what parts of the Bible I should tear pages out of.
Thanks Deb, you're a dear.
- ~Deb said...
Mark: If you focused so much on Christ, then what are you doing focusing so much of your time and energy on me? You can't change me, and yes, I am very happy with my girlfriend---VERY! Does that bother you? I wonder why…
Defining sin is simple. The Ten Commandments, among not loving God (rejecting God), as well as not treating your brothers and sisters "in love". You constantly sit back and throw stones, while having much of your own crosses to bear. I'm not going to continue answering to your sarcasm, because frankly, it's not even comical. I laugh at most sarcastic remarks, because I find people to be funny…but you? I find you to be a sad man. Why Mark? Are you sad? Don't you think that God wants you to be happy here on earth? He doesn't want us to constantly suffer. He gave us eternal life so that we can be happy here on earth, serving Him the best we could. Life trials have enough suffering on its own- which we share with Christ. But, your struggle with whatever, is showing through right now. Christ was nailed "to a tree" (as you put it) to take away our sins so that we would no longer be bound to the law. What don't you understand about that.
Here… Look at Galatians chapter two verses 17 through 21:
"But what if we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then find out that we are still sinners? Has Christ led us into sin? Of course not! Rather, I make myself guilty if rebuild the old system I already tore down.For when I tried to keep the law, I realized I could never earn God's approval. So I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ. I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me an gave himself for me. I am not one for those who treats the grace of God as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there was no need for Christ to die."
I wonder what that scripture means. How do you interpret that scripture Mark, my hard rock theology friend?
- DaBich said...
Amazing! Even in nature there is the same sex orientation. Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.
- Enemy of the Republic said...
Mark, I once explained to you the research on that very line and gave you websites to look at. You dismissed my argument as liberal falsehood. So why should I go there again? I know the verse, and I still maintain that homosexuality in love, not as promiscuity or abuse--these can also be heterosexual sins--is fine with God as I understand him. You and I will just disagree. And really, that is fine--I am not out to convince you.

Overall this bike is not worth the money. The instructions are so generic and not specific to this particular bike. I took it to Sports Authority 2 times to have it examined and properly set up. However, the bike still makes a loud clicking noise and the derailleur will not allow my chain to shift to the big cog (so it's basically a 6 speed bike). Not too happy, I want to take it back.

ONE of the most important collections of watercolour paintings in the world is heading our way.
More than 40 works from the exquisite holdings of Sir Hickman Beckett Bacon (1855-1945), an avid collector of English watercolours between 1895 and the First World War, will be on show at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, from January 12 until April 14.
Now owned by Sir Nicholas Bacon, the precious paintings will be loaned to the Kendal gallery for its next exhibition - Turner and his Contemporaries: The Hickman Bacon Watercolour Collection.
Abbot Hall chief executive Gordon Watson was thrilled at the prospect of the eminent display, which should have the eyes of the nation's arts world focused on the important regional gallery.
In fact, a fitting time to stage such a grand show as Abbot Hall celebrates a half century since its opened its celebrated doors.
Gordon added: "Fifty years ago on September 28, 1962, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret officially opened the gallery and since then Abbot Hall has established itself as one of the most significant and ambitious galleries in the north of England."
Rarely aired in public, the collection will be shown alongside highlights from Abbot Hall's own permanent collection of watercolours.
Sir Nicholas said that he was delighted to be able to lend the paintings to Abbot Hall.
He continued: "My great uncle Sir Hickman Bacon (Hicky) had unusual tastes for his time and thus the collection is very strong in the type of late, ethereal Turner watercolours that only became widely popular with the advent of abstract painting in the 1940s and 50s. Equally, John Sell Cotman, an artist who had only just emerged from total obscurity, was of particular interest.
"Hicky's collection represents English watercolour painting at its greatest; like so many collectors he was not interested by the fashion of the day, but he was committed to collecting those objects which fulfilled his heartfelt love of beauty."
Born in 1855 into a family of landed gentry, Sir Hickman was educated at Eton. He joined the army, later returning to his old-fashioned family mansion. He suffered from ill health early in his life, and remained a bachelor until he died in 1945. He also collected fabrics, wall hangings, ceramics and Japanese prints – a collection he gave to the Japanese Government.
Abbot Hall collections manager Nick Rogers said that an exhibition of watercolours from the 'remarkable' Hickman Bacon collection was a cause for celebration wherever it was held. He added: "That it is taking place in Kendal, Cumbria, is particularly appropriate, as this is an area that played a significant role in the development of watercolour as the medium of choice for the itinerant artist in the late 18th and early 19th Century."
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

I suffer from dry joints and the soft cushioning and sole of this shoes make long term wear very comfortable - even in really hot weather. Very impressive style, design and quality shoe.

This is my second pair of Triton boat shoes. They are extremely hard wearing, tough, comfortable, and supportive. After any amount of walking or sailing a good clean with a neutral polish returns them to 90% as new. They were delivered in the right size, but sadly not in the sand colour of my first pair, but mid brown, in spite of my using the same colour description on my order. Hence only 3 star second time.

Snead becomes draft day laughing stock
THE GODFREY SHOW – Twelve quarterbacks were selected in the 2010 NFL Draft. Jevan Snead wasn't one of them. This was not the year for Snead to go pro. Ill-advised? Absolutely. Pick up this week's issue of Oxford Town and read about Snead's disappointing NFL draft day and sports columnist Steven Godfrey's take on the situation. (April 29, 2010, Page 8)
