dynamics. Combined with insightful physical reasoning and intriguing new laboratory and field data, these investigations promise a better understanding of seismic complexity and predictability.
Earthquakes are clearly complex in both the commonsense and the technical meanings of the word. At the largest scales, complexity is manifested by features such as the aperiodic intervals between ruptures, the power-law distribution of event frequency across a wide range of magnitudes, the variable patterns of slip for earthquakes occurring at different times on a single fault, and the richness of aftershock sequences. Individual events are also complex in the disordered propagation of their rupture fronts and the heterogeneous distributions of residual stress that they leave in their wake. At the smallest scales, earthquake initiation appears to be complex, with a slowly evolving nucleation zone preceding a rapid dynamic breakout that sometimes cascades into a big rupture. Among the many open issues in this field are the questions of whether these different kinds of complexity might be related to one another and, if so, how.
The most ambitious and optimistic reason for considering the ideas of dynamical systems theory is the hope that one might discover universal features of earthquake-like phenomena. Such features would, of course, be extremely interesting from a fundamental scientific point of view. They might also have great practical value, for example, as a basis for interpreting seismic records or for making long-term hazard assessments. Two thought-provoking, complementary concepts that look as if they might bring some element of universality to earthquake science are fractality and self-organized criticality. The first describes the geometry of fault systems; the second is an intrinsically dynamic hypothesis that pertains to the complex motions of these systems. Although each has provoked its own point of view among earthquake scientists—that seismic complexity is, on the one hand, primarily geometric in origin or, on the other hand, primarily dynamic—it seems likely that both concepts contain some elements of the truth and that neither is a complete description of the behavior of the Earth.
There is substantial evidence that fault geometry is fractal, at least in some cases and over some ranges of length scales. Fractality is a special kind of geometric complexity that is characterized by scale invariance (5). That is, images of the same system made with different magnifications are visually similar to one another; there is no intrinsic length scale such as a correlation length or a feature of recognizable size that would enable an observer to determine the magnification simply by looking at the image.

the care of another crew
Which seems clear that he is talking about another crew on the 1701-A. If he'd just said "This ship's history will become the care of another crew..." I could understand, but the two statements in the same scene seem at odds with each other. I'd really like to know what TPTB were thinking with that...
It was an awkward Next Generation reference. Supposedly the STVI writers were so clueless about Star Trek lore (and if you've read Denny Martin Flynn's follow-up novel
The Fearful Summons
you'll have little trouble believing this) that they originally planned an ending where the Enterprise was handed over to Captain Picard and the Next Generation crew.
Recall also that "Yesterday's Enterprise" has already established the Klingon/Federation peace beginning 22 years prior to TNG with the sacrifice of the Enterprise-C. STVI ignored this. It also made McCoy and Uhura deeply incompetent, Kirk into a racist and Spock into a mind rapist. While also introducing a Klingon ability to fire while cloaked which they.... never bothered to try again.
IMO, STVI is a
flawed movie.

Barclays set to sign bumper Premier League deal
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 03 July 2012 09:11AM
Embattled Barclays Bank is set to sign a bumper deal to retain its title sponsorship of the football Premier League.
An announcement on the estimated £35m-a-year-plus deal is expected in the coming weeks.
Barclays has been the title sponsor of the Premier League since 2004, with Barclaycard the title sponsor between 2001 and 2004.
The Premier League and Barclays have been negotiating over the past month, with one source saying, "it is a done deal."
The agreement is expected to be on improved terms for the Premier League. Its previous three-year arrangement was understood to be valued at around £30m a year. A source close to the negotiations said the new deal was set to be above £35m a year.
It will run from the start of the 2013 season through to the end of the 2015 season and will include exclusive world-wide marketing rights, UK and international TV programme accreditation, extensive advertising packages, match-day tickets and hospitality.
The Premier League, which recently signed a new lucrative broadcast deal with BSkyB and BT, was considering an alternative multi-tiered sponsorship deal.
However, it is thought the idea was rebuffed by a number of Premier League clubs, which have to approve the deal.
Barclays today (3 July) parted company with its chief executive Bob Diamond, who has caved in to public pressure over the bank's rigging of inter-bank lending rates.
The American banker, who has faced mounting calls to step down, said: "The external pressure placed on Barclays has reached a level that risks damaging the franchise – I cannot let that happen."
Barclays said it did not comment on commercial negotiations. The Premier League declined to comment.

Florida Georgia Line Share Their Highest Hopes for 2014
Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of hot duo Florida Georgia Line have had a pretty astounding 2013, but they're already thinking about 2014 and hope it'll be the best yet.
Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of hot duo Florida Georgia Line have had a pretty astounding 2013, but they're already thinking about 2014 and hope it'll be the best yet.
Brian Kelley of hot duo Florida Georgia Line married his girlfriend of seven months on Monday afternoon (Dec. 16) in Nashville. The singer had known 23-year-old Brittney Marie Cole for over three years, and once they started dating earlier in 2013, both said they "just knew."
Vocal Duo of the Year Florida Georgia Line will help ring in 2014 at 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest.'
These days, it isn't an awards show without magnetic country duo Florida Georgia Line and they performed their latest single 'Stay' at the 2013 ACAs.
What a year for duo Florida Georgia Line, huh? They topped it off by snatching up the 2013 American Country Awards prize for Single of the Year with their smash hit 'Cruise.'
Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw and other country superstars were honored as the 2013 CMT Artists of the Year on Tuesday (Dec. 3). The recipients all gave smashing performances and heartfelt speeches to make the evening a very special celebration of their successes.
Rooms aboard the first-ever Florida Georgia Line party cruise are very exclusive, but the country duo and Taste of Country want you to be there.
It's always fun to see country music artists all gussied up in their best, and the red carpet at the 2013 American Music Awards was no exception, with our favorite stars putting their best fashion foot forward. These five artists were just a few of those who best represented the genre on Nov. 24.
After breaking the record for the most chart-topping weeks for a song by a duo and going double Platinum, it should come as no surprise that Florida Georgia Line's 'Cruise' snatched up the title for Single of the Year at the 2013 AMAs.
Florida Georgia Line impacted the 2013 American Music Awards in a huge way, as they performed 'Cruise' with Nelly and got the energetic crowd on its feet on Sunday (Nov. 24).
Florida Georgia Line will go to the wrestling ring on Monday, but they won't be donning head gear or singlets. Instead, they'll guest star on World Wrestling Entertainment's 'Monday Night Raw.'
The 87th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is shaping up to be quite the festive event. And it's only fitting that one of the nation's most beloved spectacles would feature some of country music's most beloved performers, including Carrie Underwood and Florida Georgia Line in 2013!

CLEVELAND -- The only trouble Adam "Pacman" Jones got into was a pass interference call.
The Dallas cornerback started Sunday in place of the injured Terence Newman and helped the Cowboys to an easy 28-10 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Jones, who missed all of last season while under suspension, had been counting the days to his return to the field.
"I've been waiting on this day for about 600 days," said Jones, referring to his last game on Dec. 31, 2006. "It was real emotional, but that's what I live for. It was great. I enjoyed myself. I have no regrets. I'm smiling from ear to ear."
Jones was recently reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after serving a 17-month suspension for numerous off-field problems, including six arrests and his connection to a shooting at a Las Vegas strip club.
He quietly helped the Cowboys hold down the Browns' high-scoring offense. His only transgression was tackling wide receiver Braylon Edwards in the end zone, drawing a flag and setting up the Browns' only touchdown.
"I gave up no big plays. I didn't miss no tackles," Jones said. "I ran around. I had fun. That's what it's about. I got the one pass interference -- as long as he didn't score the touchdown I'd rather get it on the 1-yard line and let them work to get it in."
Jones also returned two punts for 8 yards -- he fumbled and recovered the second one -- and nearly picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown.
"I give myself probably about a C+," he said.
Jones was involved in a dozen incidents requiring police intervention since the Titans made him a first-round draft pick in 2005.
He has stayed clean since he was traded from Tennessee to Dallas in April, and has vowed to stay out of strip clubs and to spend more time with his family. He was allowed to start practicing with the Cowboys in June, but Goodell didn't give Jones full clearance until Aug. 28.
Jones took the starting assignment in stride.
"It's always good to get out there with the first team and let them know I'm someone they can count on," Jones said.
It's unclear who will start next week at cornerback when Dallas plays the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
Newman missed nearly all of training camp, and the entire preseason, while dealing with a slightly torn groin muscle. The Pro Bowler had limited participation in practice last week.

ClassicsOnline Home » MACDOWELL: First Modern Suite / 6 Idyls / Sonata No. 3
MacDowell (1860 - 1908)
Piano Music,
Volume 2
It would seem fair
to say that Edward MacDowell was not only the most prominent American composer
of the nineteenth century but also the first to see a considerable number of
his works performed in Europe. At an early age MacDowell proved to be
greatly gifted in both painting and music. He went to Paris
for his studies and even while he took courses at the Conservatoire, where he
was a classmate of Debussy, he was advised to switch to painting as a career.
Yet in 1878 he went to Germany to continue his studies on the piano and
in composing. Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, and Frankfurt were early stations of his stay in Germany. When in 1882, on the occasion of a visit to Liszt,
that master invited him to play his (MacDowell's) first piano concerto at a
festival that same year, there was no longer any doubt that MacDowell was now a
rising musician. He returned home in 1884, but later returned to Europe for another prolonged stay. After his final
repatriation in 1888, he appeared in Boston as composer
and pianist, and was from then on until his untimely death in 1908 an
outstanding personality in the musical life of America.
MacDowell's works
attracted all the greatest interpreters of the time. It was Nikisch who first
conducted his symphonic poem Lancelot and Elaine. In 1896, he was called
to Columbia University to head
there the newly created music department, a high honour at a time when music
was not considered a subject worthy of the academic accolade. But MacDowell's
stay at Columbia was hardly the happiest or most successful
part of his career, and he resigned in 1904. He received honorary degrees from
the Universities of Pennsylvania and Princeton, and was made a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Being a fine
pianist himself, MacDowell's best compositions were written for that
instrument: the first and second Modern Suite, two piano concertos, and
collections of short pieces called by such characteristic names as Fireside
Tales, New England Idyls, Woodland Sketches, Forest Idyls. The titles of his four sonatas are indicative of the romantic dreamer
that MacDowell was: Tragica, Eroica, the Norse and the Keltic
Sonatas. Besides a number of songs, he also composed a smaller number of
orchestral works, among them Hamlet and Ophelia, and Lamia (after
Keats). MacDowell, as the story of his life as well as his literary
inclinations show, was a high I y cultured man; a poet in music, a Romantic in
the declining years of Romanticism.
Teresa Carreno,
the noted Venezuelan pianist who was MacDowell's boyhood teacher, was the first
person to play MacDowell's music in America. It happened
that while MacDowell was studying in Europe, he sent Madame Carreno, who was
then in America, a roll of manuscript along with a letter
in which he said: "Dear Teresa: You know how I have always valued your
advice. Look these over. If they are no good, put them in the paper basket and
tell me, and I'll never write another note." Madame Carreno opened the
bundle and there she found MacDowell's First Suite, the "Witches
Dance," and several other pieces which later helped to make him
famous. "I played them over," she once related. "They were
splendid. I was to give a recital in Chicago in two weeks,
so I learned some of them, played them there - and that was the first MacDowell
ever played in concert in the New
World." The First
Modern Suite, Opus 10 was composed in 1881 and dedicated to the wife of his
teacher and friend, Joachim Raff. It was first published in 1883 and subsequently
republished with minor changes in 1891, 1896, 1904 and 1906. The revised 1906
edition was used for this recording. The Suite is in six movements,
opening with a powerful Praeludiurn. The Presto that follows is a
light elfin-like romp. MacDowell writes: "'The Presto looks so
innocent and easy, very much as Robert Louis Stevenson expressed it when he
said, 'It really looks like music if you hold it far enough away."' The Andantino
ed Allegretto is serene and contemplative. MacDowell prefaces it with a quotation
from Virgil, "Per amica silentia lunae". The Intermezzo was
shortened and lengthened by the composer several times. In an interview with
Mrs. Crosby Adams in 1899, he stated: "The Intermezzo was
re-written and lengthened after hearing from a famous artist who complained
that it was 'too short to put between pieces and not long enough to play by
itself' -and then he never played it!" The Rhapsodie is dark-hued,
majestic and almost Brahmsian. MacDowell provides a poetic motto on the score
from Dante's Inferno: "Lasciate ogni speranza/Voi ch'entrate".
Of the Fugue, MacDowell wrote: "I'm very proud of that fugue. It was
written just after finishing counterpoint, and those four notes are used in
every possible way, upside down, backwards and forwards. After I played it for
Raff, he said to me, 'Never let me hear that thing again.' Raff did not like
Amourette, Opus
1, and In Lilting
Rhythm, Opus 2, were published by P. L. Jung in 1896 and 1897 under the
pseudonym Edgar Thorn (Thorne). Il1ustrative of the shy and modest reserve of
MacDowell is the story of the mythical "Edgar Thorne, "who became a
person of some consequence in New
York City. Reference has
frequently been made to MacDowell's use of this nom de plume in
connection with the writing of his Marionettes, the royalty of which was
given over to a needy friend. But comparatively few people know of its first
use, which was in connection with the Mendelssohn Glee Club. At the time of
MacDowell's taking over the direction of the club (18%) he found that the work
with the singers offered to him a new avenue of musical expression and
presented a desire to compose some music suitable for their use. But with his
usual modesty he feared that if the men knew that the new songs he was
presenting for their examination were of his own composition, they would feel
under obligation to sing them. So one night he appeared at rehearsal with two
new songs, under the name of "Edgar Thorne," and simply asked them to
try them over, if they liked them to sing them, perhaps in concert. The songs
proved very effective, won the instant approval of the club, and remained
"favourite" numbers. MacDowell used the same acid test on his poems,
often copying texts which he had written for his own songs on the board for the
use of his classes in composition either anonymously or under the signature of
"Edgar Thorne."
In 1949 Marian
MacDowell (Edward MacDowell's wife) w rote the following about the Six Idyls
After Goethe, Opus 28: "When MacDowel1 had been at the Frankfurt Conservatory
about two years, studying piano with Carl Heymann and composition with Joachim
Raff, the position of piano instructor there was made vacant by Heymann's
resignation. Although on I y twenty, MacDowell was recommended for the position
by both Raff and Heymann, but was not accepted because of his youth. Denied
this opportunity he began to take private pupils, among them the young counts
and countesses who lived at the ancient castle
of Erbach-Fürstenau, a three-hour train journey from Frankfurt. This necessitated a weekly trip to the castle, which
he tumed to good account by using the long train ride to familiarise himself
with the works of Goethe, Heine, Schiller and other German writers. There is no
record of appreciable musical accomplishment on the part of any of his
aristocratic pupils, but for MacDowel1 the time was not wasted. The Idyls
After Goethe and Poems After Heine are doubtless the indirect if not
direct result; they are among his earlier compositions and must have been
written not long afterward." The Six Idyls After Goethe were first
published in 1887 and reprinted with English translations of the poems in 1898.
An "augmented" edition was published in 1901. According to Oscar
Gearge Sonneck, cataloguer of MacDowell's works at the Library of Congress, why
this 1901 edition is called "augmented", "is not clear, since
the changes from the 1887 edition are not frequent, and affect on I y the
melody, harmony, orthography, or interpretation of single bars. Nothing has
otherwise been added. The composer's own translations of the poems are used in
this edition." Below are the original texts and MacDowell's own

Edward MacDowell
composed his Sonata No.3 ("Norse"), Opus 57 in 1900,
dedicating it to Edvard Grieg. On the opening page of the work MacDowell
provides his own poetic motto:
Night had fallen on a day of deeds.
The great rafters in the red-ribbed hall
Flashed crimson in the fitful flame
Of smouldering logs.
And from the stealthy shadows
That crept 'round Harald's throne,
Rang out a Skald's strong voice,
With tales of battles won;
Of Gudrun's love And Sigurd,
Siegmund's son.
Lawrence Gilman,
in his book Edward MacDowell - A Study (1908) writes: "The
spaciousness of the plan of the Third Sonata, the boldness of the drawing, the
fullness and intensity of the color scheme, engage one's attention at the
start. MacDowell has indulged almost to its extreme limits his predilection for
extended chord formations and for phrases of heroic span - as in, for example,
almost the whole of the first movement. The pervading quality of the musical
thought is of a resistless and passionate virility. It is steeped in the
barbaric and splendid atmosphere of the sagas. There are pages of epical
breadth and power, passages of elemental vigor and ferocity - passages, again,
of an exquisite tenderness and poignancy. Of the three movements which the work
comprises, the first makes the most lasting impression, although the second
(the slow movement) has a haunting subject, which is recalled episodically in
the final movement in a passage of unforgettable beauty and character."

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm Reviews
Works even on smokers' lipsBecause I smoke I have to constantly reapply my lipstick or gloss. I was lucky enough to find the Blood Orange color on clearance, and after using a manufactur coupon I paid only $0.25 for this lip stain. This color actually stays on my lips, even if faintly, after I have smoked a few cigarettes. That says alot! — 2 years agoToTheMoon | 129 reviews
Can you say.. delicious?I got the "berry jiucy" color, and was greatly pleased to see that all of it's ingredients were derived from fruit! What a great idea to use blackberries and rasberries to color my lips! And the color itself was amazing.. lasted about 10 hours. Put it on after having rubbing your lips off with a warm rag and pat them dry.. so it's ready to absorb and then just put it on, wait like 10 seconds and blot off.. if there's any that hasn't absorbed to blot off. Fabulous product. — 2 years agoelisabeethoven | 6 reviews

still available some places at discount pricesThe applicator spreads a bit and the "stain" isn't very long-lasting but for under $3 (what I paid for a closeout)makes a nice addition to my options. Good for cheeks too. Sets quickly so needs nimble fingers. I'm glad I managed to pick up a couple before they disappear forever but can't say I'll miss being able to buy them again. — 2 years agomink88 | 77 reviews
Rich color but dried me outThis product leaves a dark stain behind and wears like crazy, but dries lips out. Rollerball is not as good an applicator for this type of product as a wand, which gives more precise control. Stain was a bit darker than I would have liked. — 2 years agoClbailey1 | 75 reviews
good stuffgreat stuff for the price and pretty color — 2 years agojudycc20 | 113 reviews
good product - too bad it's discontinued.I loved the stain, but agree with a few of the users who hate the roller ball application. And also the people who had the middle of the lips wear off. We must all be lip lickers or something because I had the same issue. But this product has inspired me to try other lip stains because I hate heavy lipsticks that feel like I put wax on in the morning! — 2 years agoMegz1977 | 5 reviews

Love it!!!I love this stuff! It is all I wear, along with mascara. I'm fair and wear the red one. This is the best way to wear red lipstick. You can wear it day or night (i put chapstick on over everytime to keep it from flaking) and it looks fabulous. It looks almost natural too - like I "naturally" have gorgeous red stained lips :) I hope I can still buy it when I run out since it's discontinued :( — 2 years agoJuliet1938 | 5 reviews

Written by PETA
Today, the Honourable Supreme Court of India passed a landmark judgment in favour of PETA India and the government body the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) clarifying that bulls must not be used in jallikattu, bull races, bullfights or any other type of performance. PETA was represented in court by leading counsel Raj Panjwani.
PETA has vigorously campaigned against the use of bulls in these cruel events. The group's investigators have found that terrified bulls are deliberately disoriented, have their tails twisted and bitten and are stabbed, punched, jumped on and dragged to the ground. During races, bulls are often hit with nail-studded sticks. In bullfights, the round ends when one of the bulls is either killed or manages to flee. PETA's campaign to end this abuse was vocally supported by legendary actors Hema Malini and John Abraham, who both wroteto the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) calling for jallikattu to be stopped.
Although the MoEF issued a notification in 2011 that banned the use of bulls as performing animals,thereby banning jallikattu, bull races and bullfights, these spectacles were still permitted to be held. Now, the Supreme Court has made clear that this notification must be upheld. It also struck down the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Jallikattu Act No 27 of 2009, a state law that permitted jallikattu.The Supreme Court also noted that the penalties for cruelty to animals under The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, are weak and that the act requires an update. The AWBI had formulated a draft Animal Welfare Act, 2011, to strengthen the law, but this draft has yet to be passed.

stop hurting animals
Thanks for beautiful posting.India is remarkable for its rich green woods. All the parts of Forests in India have differing sorts of boondocks. It is a fundamental bit of environment. The timberland is a situation which is contains trees to support unending life structures.
shocking! This Must be stopped
I have never seen so many idiots on one single forum. i'm pretty sure 95% of you have no idea what is a Jallikattu. If u think its cruelty? fine but first start going after people who eat animals rather than people who use these bulls for sports, but u cannot because politics. Lot of people in the world are in favor of eating meat so u pathetic idiots have to come after a small group of people in Tamil Nadu who use these trained bulls once a year.
Wicked Evil Barbaric People ! ! !
Poor, poor animals.How much cruelty they suffer from these scum!
Come on India, we need to educate about animal abuse to stop this.
bad action
awesome PETA !!! we are with you !!!!!
Banning this is an awesome news !!! lets love animals !!!
Kill people off not animals. People would pay to watch scum humans die off, don't think they wouldn't pay for this..we have created the mess and lets kill a few billion off.
Use people instead. we have created the mess..people would pay to watch criminals killed off like this and why not?? Raise money and great entertainment. save the animals..kill the people
Bulls should be protected. It's so cruel to use them for so called Entertainment. I am appalled that this happens. Bulls have feelings too. Bullfighting or any cruelty to animals is horrendous.
What will you say when you meet GOD!!!!!
People, people, people you will all reap what you sow!!!
Congrats for your efforts to ban jallikattu. . But is Peta doing something for banning of slaughtering the bulls? Only banning is not a solution, but how these bulls can be preserved so that the farmers are not impelled to sell their bulls to slaughtering house is also a concern. Has Peta taken any action on it.It does not matter that when Jallikattu was not banned then also bulls used to go to slaughterhouse. If you want to save bulls then also save them properly. If at the end they become someone's meal then banning jallikattu has no meaning.
This must stop
Please stop this using animals for entertainment
l care!!!!!
Feb 16/2015
In today's I read this,
With the promulgation of a total ban on jallikattu, the bull owners were forced to sell their animals to cattle agents who would ultimately sent them to slaughter houses in Kerala. Such activities would annihilate wonderful breeds of bulls in the long run.
To prevent this, the Coimbatore-based goshala founder Sivakumar started buying bulls to protect them by providing shelter, he added. The members of the outfit appealed to the government to declare cow as national animal and impose a ban on slaughter of cows.
In my opinion that, bull may get hurt during jallikattu,,but now situation is bulls are going to slaughter house. who ever was involved in banning the jallikattu are also responsible for slaughter.Let them Live long and maintain their publicity.
I salute before the Supreme Court of India for putting an end to the cruelty of Jallikattu and such like in India. So also, I would like to request the Supremt Court and other organisations which are interested in ending cruelty towards animals to take efforts to put an end to the cruelty against human beings from the cruelty of Noise pollution in the form of LOUDSPEAKER menace, during the fesstival periods and other social events. Though there are umpteen Supreme Court rulings against this practice of using loudspeakers the people of Indian never bother to respect the freedom of fellow citizens to live calmly. They simply revel in merry making and causing irreparable damage to the health of fellow beings by creating unbearable noice.Our police officers who are vested with powers to grant permission are more callous than the cullprits and in all occassions they help the culprits. So, I take this occassion to call upon the interested people and organisations to look in to the matter and put an end to this practice of ussing loudspeakers during festivities by moving the Suprreme court.
PETA, hope you are aware of thousands of cows getting to Kerala from Tamil and slaughtered cruel. Judgement against Jallikattu has sent many of the indigenous variety of oxes to slaughter houses. Is this the judicial relief for them? If you are really to care for animals then take a mission on slaughter houses. PETA has made UN-justice to oxes.
I would like to post my comment that under the perview of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 read with the Article 51A(g) &(h) of the Constitution of India, in Civil Appeal No.5387 of 2014 along with other Civil Appeal @ SLP(C) No.11686 of 2007 the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the unnecessary Pain & Sufferings of the animals for human satisfaction & enjoyment should be banned for the best interest of the species subject to just exception out of human necessity. But the historic order interrupted some shows & performances generally held to consider the customs as well as some cultural heritages of the various community in the eve of some social or community occasions & functions which have been performing since time immemorial by the past generations in the society. For the best interest of the species & animals whether the mass people will negotiate such performance or not ..no doubt the time will say..Hence, let us think and understand the rights of the species & animals to know better their pains & sufferings rather our …..demands…
I come from rural Tamilnadu, we are farmers we know how to protect our cattles. Jallikattu is one kind ritual sport, it has several forms and names. Our intention is not torture animals, through out the year we work with our cattels, once in a year we celebarte with our cattles. If Peta things, jallikattu is violence, they have to stop killing goat, bull, chicken, horse…. for eating purpose, Peta could not fight for that, they have no strength, also animals should be live in their own space, should not keep in zoo, temples and home, peta should fight for sending the animals from the zoo, temples, mosque also at home.
I wish to register my comment to clearly make a statement that Bulls especially in our area its treated as God and its considered as a pride by having a bull in the house. In our family we have a Bull and its considered as cultural heritage and my great great grandfathers also had the bulls. If u want to know how it is treated just come down and see what happens really to bulls.It would be better if you peoples could change your mind and see it as cultural glories you people will understand what really it means. Moreover working as Sr.Executive – HR in a reputed organization the love, greed and thirst towards Jallikattu will never end till our life ends. Hopefully waiting that our Jallikattu will sure happen…ll said by S.R.Mani

do you think is it beautiful to see elephants standing in front of temple? and horses doing circus in horse races and especially in army and police battalion. you are not eligible to say it is right to ban jallikattu.
i am totally disagree with the logic of ban on jallikattu. without knowing tamil culture, ban has been made. think about elephants standing in front hindu temples, and begging for food in market, and horses, in army and police departments, is there any type of benefit for the society or our nation, or it in any way flagging our culture. if jallikattu has been banned, why dasara, onam, even other festivals including meenakshi festival in madurai. do you think, in original type of jallikattu, bulls are abused or harrassed cruelly. no. if so, in kalithogai an ancient literature, aeru thaluvuthal why took place. there is a man for a bull. it is the game. instead so many people beating, and harassing a bull is not an original type of jallikattu. see bull fight in spain, there bulls are killed by players. its truely cruelty. jallikattu is not so. people pretending to secure the animals are not originally not so in real life. it is only for advertisement purpose. i can igive lots of example and reasons for not to ban jallikattu. but i have no time. this is the fact
Peta, Animal rights activists will not connect with the bulls the way Tamil's do. U don't understand the love between cattle & farming community. First, be etical, at the same time emotionally, try to connect & understand true animal welfare in approaching the issue in a broad minded way! & all the negatives can be rooted out, if approached in right attitude, without sending peoples animals love & mighty gods creations to slaughter houses.The Jallikattu is inseparable from the social, cultural and religious fabric of the people of Tamil Nadu. In animal husbandry, the trend is to send male calves to slaughter; only milch cattle are taken care of. The people who breed bulls for Jallikattu, used them for breeding, organic farming and saved native cattle breeds from existence. Jallikattu Bulls are considered Sacred! Joint families stay together to tend to their Jallikattu bulls, which require constant attention and care, are soon going to fall apart, Now with the ban looming large, there are fears that India's exotic native cattle breeds will die out. Thanks to PETA, AWBI, and other ill informed geniuses. for sending India's wealth, Jallikattu Bulls & traditions to slaughter houses. Hats off to u People, U all have wronged, Native cattle breeds & Jallikattu Bulls blood on all your hands. We Indians thought the world about universal love when other civilizations was in dark ages. Draught cattle are castrated and worked to death, but Jallikattu bulls are treated like gods — they are worshipped, never tortured. Pls stop mockery on Jallikattu, without knowing factual facts! Only on false ruse it is been banned. Shame on Us, for not understanding & slaughtering the India's farming communities love for their animals. It's time to repent! Pls everyone try to get to core facts of Jallikattu, then talk about Tamil's valor & love for animals. Pls save India's Native breeds, Associated traditional cultural values, undying love for animals before its too late.
No. Dont ban jallikattu. Do u know the consequences behind banning jallikattu? In tamilnadu the bulls are given good and healthy food to bulls only because of Jallikattu. The prices won during this jallikattu helps in maintanence of bulls. If this jallikattu is banned then think about the bulls. It will not be taken proper care. It will result in slaughtering for meat. The bulls participate in jallikattu is taken awesome care. Since last year the bulls were not treated cruely. Seriously. You know the bulls participate in jallikattu is been brought in Air conditioned vehicle. The lot has been changed. Now the bulls are not treated bad. If they ban jallikattu seriously the owners will have no money to take care of bulls and as a result it will end in disaster. There are thousands and thousands of bulls which participate in different region. Supreme court should consider this also. Please no negative comments for my reply. Just talking only in favor of bulls.
Nice job Awb and PETA…..But we should also think about other pets…..like bull.
Dear Peta , Thanks for the reply. watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZM6wvDmTT4 , Jallikattu is much better than this..
I've even heard that the bulls are starved for days, beaten, and chilli powder is rubbed on their eyes. It was really really heartbreaking to know that.
Im very very happy and thankyou Peta. Well done.
Well done PETA and AWBI! Please also work for those poor GOATS who get killed just for a religional faith; in BAKRA-EID.
Very Foolish Decision. Humans are tortured and killed in the names of their community in north India. Cows were slaughtered all over India being worshiped by us. Supreme court could't able to do other than commenting. This is an 'BULL SHIT' of all. Jallikattu being a traditional event for the people more than 5000 years. if the same jallikattu been held some at U.P or other part of india, Will it be banned or Govt have guts to ban this Events ??
We totally agree to stop bull race and Jallikattu but please make sure that no should not kill the cows and ox.I absorved during this bakreed festival most of our native breeds are taken for meat, now we can count the kankayam breeds toteally destroyed. if this races are not happeening we loose our native breeds, please we not abuse the animals we are treating native breed oxes and cows as GOD , please come on………..with good result
Dear PETA and friends,
I appreciate your concern for bulls. Now the jallikattu is banned, you will see bulls in ten years time only in zoos and a lucky few in milk farms. Thank you.
With the same zeal what you have shown on jallikattu, please shout for thousands of river dolphins and crocodiles and million of fishes and river species that die in Ganges due to pollution that is happening in the name of holy dips and washing of sins on kumbamelas.
Friends please don't misunderstand me. I'm a person from Tamil Nadu. we don't abuse our Jalli kattu bulls and torcher them they are like god to us as we are from the farming background. We do not torcher, harm and attack our jalli kattu bulls like the SPANISH people do, Jalli kattu is a traditional sports it's other name is maadu thaluvu which means bull hugging. As bulls help the farmers they use to worship it and give rewards to it on Mattu Pongal [ cow pongal ] . If anybody feels that we harm bulls during jalli kattu please visit alanganallur on cow pongal and see how those bulls are treated. This is our traditional and cultural game. We do not eat jalli kattu kalai { jalli kattu bull } cuz it's a god. everybody worship cow in Tamil Nadu who's from farming background despite of religion and cast. I'm a christian I love bulls and we worship them on Mattu Pongal as they help us through out the years in our field. So our ancestors created this game to create a bond between us and the bulls and to love jalli kattu kalai. We don't harm animals PETA or any other government or non government or the people who are commenting here against Jalli kattu can come to my village on January and visit the jalli kattu then comment that what we do with the bulls is torturing or loving…No body has rights to stop a cultural events happening for 1000's of years of a community. We Tamils are not brutal people we are the first human race to be cultured and humanitarians . Can we give a case to stop Kusthi { INDIAN style free wrestling } as it is harming humans and they get deaf and their ears get damaged of course not it is a traditional game so first understand a culture and then talk about it….I'm sorry if I hurted anybody. last question please those who have not seen Jalli Kattu and don't know anything about it don't comment unnecessary things about it here unless getting knowing the things about it. I'm sorry friends I love animals too not only bulls but also goats , hens, Roosters and dogs cuz I'm from a agricultural back ground. Farmers know more about the animals than PETA I can idebntify with a sound what a animal is in need….
dia friends I'm totally against animals abuses. those who abuse and torcher animals for their welfare must be strictly punished. But in Jallikattu it doesn't happen cuz when compared to Spain they throw spear on bulls and hurt them. But in Tamil Nadu they don't do that cuz they feel that bulls is their friend who help them in ploughing their land so they celebrate this functions named Mattu pongal [ cow pongal ] where they use to hug the bulls and he should not leave the cow until it rolls three times or it goes upto 100 meter. yes once there was some brutal things were done with the bulls but now government has taken strict action as kangayam bull is a endangered species. So I don't thing government should ban jalli kattu cuz it's our cultural game where we have a relationship between our bull and a farmer. but government should take more strict action and appoint more people to monitor that no injury or hrm is done with the bulls… so please don't ban jalli kattu it's our culture.
You can help pass the draft Animal Welfare Act, 2011.
PLEASE MoEF, the act of torturing and abusing a living animal is archaic. While it never should have been happening, it is certainly not NECCESSARY in order for a human being to live, and definitely not NECCESSARY for an animal to live. It is merely a mindset that once was, but does not serve any purpose in this day. Please do not allow this to continue, anywhere in India.
~Lin Woods~
Please, ban jalikattu, bullraces and bullfights!
everything has feeling. we are all the same so lets stop the cruelty and be human (be love)
Jalikattu is one of the most stupid and cruel sport on planet! This cruelty should be stopped right away! And someone has commented here worrying that these bulls going to end up in slaughter house if this idiotic sport is banned! so, you are trying to say torturing the poor creature for human fun is good?! and shall be allowed!?
If you are human act humanly and stop jallikattu
If you are human.. prove it and work according to humanity
any petition?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about animals used for entertainment.
Its very sad to see how ill-informed you people are! Dont u get it..? Jallikattu saved native breeds & now u people help slaughter them. Jallikattu Bulls are not castrated, other drought animals used for transportation, farming activities are castrated , in old age they are sold for meat. Only Jallikattu Bulls saved the native cattle breeds from exitinction. Jallikattu saves the bulls from the slaughterhouses! The bulls participating in Jallikattu are uncastrated native breed stud bulls, when Jallikattu Bulls passes away, they are buried & worshiped by Tamils. Jallikattu Bulls are worshiped icons in these regions. Now, because of you people supported banning of Jallikattu. Mighty Bulls are being slaughtered & they are going to be looked just as meat in someones plate! Thanks to you all, sending these Gods creations for abuse & slaughter from plucking the age old Tradition Jallikattu from farmers. Understand one thing, Peta nor animal rights activists cannot connect with cattle as farmers do., they share a unique bond & love with there bulls. Use logic, ask yourselves.. How can a community worshiping Jallikattu Bulls, can abuse them ? shame on you all, in a false pretext.. you helped sending these bulls to turned into meat!
No animal should be used and abused for the enjoyment of humans. That is not why they were put on this earth for. Please stop this terrible cruelty.

From magnifying glasses and computers to blocks and counting, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) can be a powerful part of early education settings. To capitalize on this potential, Massachusetts has invested in STEM programs, and it is sharing the resulting resources.
In fiscal year 2014, the state budget included $250,000 to develop innovative preschool curriculum with a STEM focus. The Department of Early Education and Care used the money to award five grants to providers and community partners statewide, including the Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich, MA, which enrolled 40 students in a new STEM preschool located at the museum.
The resulting resources — curriculum guides and other materials — are published online in English, Spanish, and other languages on the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education's STEM Nexus webpage.
The investment in STEM comes at an important time in children's life. As a Strategies for Children research brief notes:
"Young children are naturally inquisitive learners who ask an average of 76 questions per hour. Young children are also natural scientists—they make sense of the world around them by making predictions, checking them, and using evidence to make inductions and deductions." (more…)

Canine bite, not gunshot, caused chest wound.
UPDATED 10:17 a.m. Friday
A murder suspect who held off police after his car was discovered in the parking lot of the Econolodge Motel on Gorman Post Road was found unconscious with a puncture wound to the chest that was initially reported as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
An emergency room doctor determined that the wound was caused by a canine bite, not a bullet, although a gun was recovered from the room, as well as two dogs they believe belonged to the suspect.
Around 7 a.m. Thursday, a California Highway Patrol officer ran the license plate of a vehicle parked at the Econolodge Motel in Gorman. Upon running the plate, the officer was informed that the vehicle's owner, Franklin Grammar, 53, had an outstanding murder warrant from Kansas City, Kansas.
After confirming with motel staff that Grammar was listed in the registry and had rented that room, Sheriff's deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley station responded as backup to the motel, located in the 49700 Block of Gorman Post Road, about 30 minutes north of Santa Clarita.
Deputy Rick Pedroza of Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau confirmed that the suspect was identified as Grammar, who suspected of shooting and killing his estranged wife, Betty, on Monday as she worked with a house-painting crew in Fairway, Kansas.
Grammar barricaded himself in the motel room, holding off law enforcement throughout the day. Shortly after 3 p.m., the sheriff's K-9 unit was sent in to get the suspect, but when there was no response, the Special Weapons team entered the room, ending a nine-hour standoff.
Grammar was found in the room with a wound on his upper torso that was initially reported to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Two other dogs, assumed to be Grammar's pets, were also found in the room, along with a gun. The suspect was airlifted to Providence Holy Cross Hospital, where doctors determined that the wound was not caused by a bullet, but was a minor wound from a dog bite. Grammar was unconscious due to possibly ingesting a controlled substance. He remains comatose and in fair condition.

My daughter loves this brand. She swims 2 hours a day 6 days a week. This suit is fantastic. It is a snug fit but she likes it that way. There is no drag in the water. It is flattering and wears well. It is heavily lined which she also loves! Absolutely cannot say enough about this suit! She is long in the torso but this suit fits perfect.

I'm 6"2 and the size 40 fits me perfectly. Yes, it's a snug fit, but it's not uncomfortable. The Durafast is a comfy material for a suit - and after I tried it on, I ordered 2 more! And they fit wonderfully too.
Love the suit! Great fit, true to size measurements, great colors. Using for master's swim, very comfortable, never moves out of place.
A great fit....the thin back straps are a sought-after favorite for those long practice sets.
Fits like a dream!! Very durable and extremely comfy; able to move freely but it definitely holds everything in place.
Fits well, looks good
The royal blue/ pink combo is beautiful. I ordered this for my daughter who is almost 9 and she loved it. Great practice suit for her swim team.
Great fit, pattern is nice too. Straps are well-stitched and sturdy.
I love the fit of the suit and pretty much everything else about it! This definitely fit more true to size compared to TYR's diamondfit. I wear both size 32 in both styles but this style is more comfortable. I love the open bag and the cut and the way the suit hugs onto my body. It's definitely very flattering in my opinion and comfortable :)
I purchased this suit for my 10 year old daughter who wanted a practice suit that had an open back. Her swim team is supported gy TYR so she requested a TYR suit with an open back. I chose this suit for her one night and when it arrived she absolutely loved it. She loves the colors and the fit. She has already used it a dozen time and has received many compliments. It is a great fit and the colors are great.

Sturgill's love for Italian fare lifelong
As a child, longtime Tunica resident Lynn Sturgill spent much of her time moving from place to place as a result of her father's job.
From Memphis to Boston, to Florida, North Carolina, New York and Texas, Sturgill's early life was filled with moves across the country as her father worked to turn around failing Ford Motor Company dealerships as an employee of the then-largest Ford dealer in the country, Hull-Dobbs Ford.

Raiders acquire Carson Palmer from Bengals
Palmer had been working out in Southern California, trying to stay in shape and throwing to former teammate T.J. Houshmandzadeh and high school players.
He hoped the work would pay off with another chance in the NFL, but he did not know.
"There was a number of times that there were teams approaching the Bengals and it didn't work out, so it was a very difficult time," Palmer said.
"I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't know what was around the next turn, the next week, the next month. So there was a lot of confusion and I really didn't know what was next."
Palmer said it will take some time to learn the offense, build chemistry with his receivers and get back into football shape. Oakland hosts Kansas City on Sunday but Jackson would not say whether Palmer would start.
While Palmer has not played or practiced since last season, he has a history with Jackson, who was his offensive coordinator for two years at USC and the wide receivers coach for three seasons in Cincinnati.
Jackson was with the Bengals when Palmer had his best season in 2005 when he threw for 3,836 yards with 32 touchdown passes and a 101.1 rating while leading the team to an AFC North title. Palmer tore up his left knee during a playoff loss to Pittsburgh that season.
He came back and had two solid seasons before partially tearing a ligament and tendon in his passing elbow during the 2008 season.
He has not been an elite quarterback since, despite getting back to the playoffs in 2009. Palmer said he is completely healthy now.
Over the past two years, Palmer completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 7,064 yards, 47 touchdowns, 33 interceptions and a passer rating of 82.9 while posting a 14-18 record.
Those numbers are comparable to what Campbell has done since the start of the 2009 season.
But the Raiders were not willing to trust their playoff chances with Boller, who had not started a game since 2009 and had lost his previous 10 starts since October 2007, or Pryor, a project who will need time before he can be an NFL quarterback.
This is the second trade the Raiders have made since Davis' death. They dealt last week for former No. 4 overall pick in 2009, linebacker Aaron Curry from Seattle.
The trade leaves the Raiders with picks only in the fifth and sixth rounds in next year's draft. They traded their second-rounder during April's draft to New England for the picks to draft offensive lineman Joe Barksdale and running back Taiwan Jones.
They used their third-rounder to take Pryor in the supplemental draft in August. They traded their fourth-rounder in 2010 to get Campbell and the seventh-rounder for Curry.
"I know a lot of people think we've mortgaged the future of the organization," Jackson said. "I don't see it that way. I mean, I don't think you ever mortgage the future of an organization when you're putting a real big-time franchise quarterback on your team."
Oakland is expecting to get compensatory picks after losing Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, Robert Gallery, Thomas Howard and Bruce Gradkowski in free agency.
AP Sports Writer Joe Kay in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Alfred H Kim, MD, PhD (Washington University Medical Center)
Description: This is the 13th edition of one of the most comprehensive and authoritative references in rheumatology, expanding on the excellent 12th edition published in 2001.
Purpose: This primer is designed to provide the most up-to-date information on virtually every disease encountered by rheumatologists and others who treat patients with rheumatologic diseases. This edition is impressively thorough, covering everything from the evaluation of the patient to current and novel therapeutic strategies to the latest basic science data describing possible mechanisms of disease and therapies. The editors accomplish this Herculean task brilliantly, although the length of some chapters may make it difficult to crystallize the information.
Audience: The book is designed for anyone interested in learning in detail about rheumatology. From students to skilled rheumatologists, all will benefit from this reference. The authenticity of the information cannot be doubted, as the leading authorities in rheumatology contributed to this effort. The only people this book may not be appropriate for are healthcare professionals just trying to learn the essence of a disease and primary treatment options — the detail may overwhelm this audience.
Features: A wide spectrum of rheumatologic conditions is covered, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitides, osteoporosis, pain syndromes, and periodic syndromes, and many others. Essentially, almost every condition in rheumatology is covered. The strength of this book continues to be its emphasis on evaluation and treatment. New to this edition is a chapter on the molecular and cellular basis of immunity with a description of pathogenesis for all major rheumatologic conditions. The breadth of this reference is apparent from the first chapter, on the public health impact of arthritis, to the last chapter, on complementary and alternative therapies.
Assessment: The Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases has grown from a 52-page pamphlet in 1934 to a 700+ page book of 44 chapters and three appendixes with this edition. These pages contain the foremost authoritative and current information on virtually every rheumatologic condition. By combining information useful to clinicians (i.e. evaluation and treatment) with data from the latest clinical trials and bench research (which is inadequately covered in the 12th edition), this edition now sets the benchmark (along with Klippel and Dieppe's two-volume Rheumatology) for other references.

Mayfield might take legal action
Updated: May 22, 2009, 2:53 PM ETESPN.com news services
CONCORD, N.C. -- The attorney for Jeremy Mayfield hinted Thursday he'll take legal action to have Mayfield's NASCAR suspension lifted.
Mayfield and attorney Bill Diehl met for more than an hour with NASCAR officials, who called the meeting. Although Diehl said the meeting was cordial, it did not get them any closer to resolving the issue. Mayfield was suspended May 9 for failing a random drug test.
"Jeremy doesn't believe that he's done anything that supports his suspension for the ...

A repository of extensions for GIMP, the FREE and Open Source image manipulation program.
The registry used to be a custom-developed web application but this has proven to be too maintenance intensive and nothing much happened to the site for several years, as many have noted. Therefore, this new version of the Registry has been created based on the Drupal CMS. Drupal allowed us to provide the complete registry with a minimum of coding effort, through its excellent Content Construction Kit and Views modules. My hope is that it will prove much easier to maintain and also allow others to take a more active role, not just me and authors but also artists and other contributors!
This is an attempt at exposing GIMP functionality as an XMLRPC web service.
This is not finished. It can probably not be finished that way it has been started. It will require a lot more code. Actually, putting GEGL behind such a thing makes much more sense.
Have a look at Xtns/Python to find the menu entry which starts the server.
But it works, in an extremely limited way. You can e.g. change the current foreground and background colors... See the gimprpctest.py script for an example.
This is a minimal python plugin for GIMP. In contrary to gimpfu-based ones, these do have the functions also available in C plugins (query, init, run, quit) and can (actually, have to) use GTK+ directly to create a user interface.
I've attached an minimal-really.py plugin, which does only define what is needed for a plugin (query, and the functions to be used). 99% of all python plug-ins will most likely follow this structure.
This is a simple Unit-test-look-alike approach to test the functions available in Script-Fu. Currently, only the gimp-brush-* stuff is done (or at least each function is called at least once).
Everything is based on bunny-test, a framework available from http://community.schemewiki.org/?bunny-test and simple enough to be used with TinyScheme (more complete stuff relies on syntax not available in this implementation).
This is a minimal Python-Fu script. It does absolutely nothing besides registering itself in the menu.
The motivation for it was to show whether pass is a valid body for a script function. It is.
Creates two borders around the outside of your image with a shadow layer in between.
Turns any image into an amazing circle.
This script has three settings:
1. Circle depth, set the circle depth percentage when doing the distortion.
2. Surround colour, pick the colour that goes around the outside of circle.
3. Crop, when and if the image is cropped into a square.
Using 100% circle:
Unless otherwise noted, the rights for the individual plugins are with their respective authors. Logo image by Jakub Steiner.

Endorsements & Excerpts
"One of the most helpful and encouraging books on parenting I've read in the past twenty years."
—Scotty Smith
Click for all endorsements
"What an amazingly wild and wise, disruptive and delighting, freeing and focusing book on gospel parenting my new friend, Kimm Crandall, has written. The heck with this just being for mothers, Kimm's book is for every parent willing to take the stewardship of children and the riches of the gospel seriously. This is one of the most helpful and encouraging books on parenting I've read in the past twenty years, of any length. Kimm writes as a multi-child mom and a grace-saturated woman, who understands the exhausting demands of good parenting and the inexhaustible supply of God's grace. This will be a book you will want to give to parents, to-be parents, and grandparents."
—Scotty Smith, Founding Pastor of Christ Community Church, Franklin, TN. Author of Objects of His Affection, Restoring Broken Things, and Everyday Prayers: 365 Days to a Gospel Centered Faith.
"Although Kimm Crandall's message in Christ in the Chaos would revive any soul longing for the breath of the gospel of grace, I am especially eager to recommend this book to that heart who strives to know God and to make him known to the little ones who call her 'momma.' Kimm is a candid and gracious fellow sojourner, faithfully pointing to God's immeasurable steadfast love and grace in the midst of our mess. She helps us peer beyond what our eyes can see to behold the glorious end on which our hearts can rest."
—Lauren Chandler, wife of Matt Chandler (pastor of The Village Church), mother of 3, writer, singer and speaker
"What a healing balm this book has been to my heart. In Christ in the Chaos, my dear friend Kimm points us to the rest that every mother longs for. This rest that each tired and burdened mom needs is found in the work that Christ has done. Kimm shows us how the gospel changes our motherhood from a drudgery to a joy. She helps us to see that Christ meets us in the middle of our everyday and loves us in the midst of our failures. She gives us the truth of free grace that unshackles us from trying to be the mom of the year. Kimm makes herself small and makes Christ big. I pray each mom who finds this book falls more in love with her Savior and becomes more aware of how his love for her changes everything about her."
—Jessica Thompson, Co-author of Give them Grace
"Jesus tells us that his yoke is easy and His burden is light. Why, then, as a mom of a rapidly growing family did I feel as if I were carrying the weight of the world and these children on my shoulders alone? I had forgotten the gospel and instead was piling on the 'have-to's' that promised to fulfill me as a wife, give me purpose as a mother, and produce guaranteed spiritual kids. I just wish I had read and absorbed the truths that Kimm so gently reminds us of as mothers: Christ is not only in the chaos, He sees you, loves you, and is beckoning you to rest in the work He has already completed."
—Kendra Fletcher, Homeschool mother of eight and blogger at PreschoolersAndPeace.com
"As mothers we are tempted to stack up our maternal achievements as a measure of our godliness. Consider Kimm's book as a megaphone—loud and clear—calling out the better way: Moms need to build their hope on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. Read this book in the context of community and see how the gospel intersects and powerfully affects the details of your motherhood and friendships."
—Gloria Furman, author of Glimpses of Grace
"Few people on the planet know chaos better than moms of young children. Wanting everything to be right, safe, and in order, moms know that it rarely is. This easily leads to feelings of fear, guilt, and exasperation. My friend Kimm Crandall lives in the trenches of motherhood and has discovered that chaos can be the perfect context to experience God's liberating grace. She is a wise, practical, gospel-drenched guide for anyone navigating through the wearisome terrain of parenting. I highly recommend this book and hope that it's the first of many from Mrs. Crandall."
—Tullian Tchividjian, Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and author of Glorious Ruin: How Suffering Sets You Free
"Let's be honest, motherhood—though a great joy—can be quite chaotic. Kimm Crandall, mother of four and author of Christ in the Chaos, knows this all too well and wants to encourage us that God is there with us through every sickness, messy room, baseball game, trial, and joy. Kimm had learned to do all the right things like so many Christians do, yet when her performance and good works weren't bringing her joy and contentment, she broke. Part of the chaos of motherhood may not be external at all, rather an internal chaos produced by striving to be the perfect mom and forgetting our identity in Christ. This identity, as Kimm explains, is rooted in a perfect love for an imperfect mom. Our greatest need as mothers isn't the latest news and trends, our greatest need is Christ. Kimm gently but boldly reminds us that our performance won't sustain us. We need the sweet and gracious mercy and love of God found in the cross of Christ—found in our chaos."
—Trillia Newbell, author and editor of Women of God Magazine
