Ran across a story last week from NPR about several previously non-verbal and/or only occasionally verbal students who learned to express themselves through song at band practice. The story underscored for me how powerful and important the arts can be as an avenue of expression for some students. Here's the link to check it out: http://www.npr.org/blogs/ed/2014/06/11/320882414/ipads-allow-kids-with-c...

Textiles enjoy a close kinship with storytelling and narrative. As an artist interested in religious traditions and expressions of sacred form, fiber arts and labor-intensive needlework are primary mediums by which I examine the nature of transformation in ritual practice. Several years ago, I was invited by Rabbi Liza Stern of Congregation Eitz Chayim (Cambridge, MA) to create a new Torah mantle. The task of fabricating a ceremonial garment - that by virtue of its beauty would signal the central presence of Judaism's core sacred texts - was daunting. Over several years' time the project inspired my in-depth encounters with the ancient narrative that I experienced in conjunction with rabbinic traditions of 'midrash' – the interpretation and re-interpretation of the biblical text as a guide for living and foundation for understanding – in close relationship with the vibrant life of the congregation. The investigation guiding my design of the Torah mantle generated a second project for the collective spinning and weaving of a ritual textile used to bind the Torah scrolls together. In the end, both projects proved to be seminal platforms for my vision of a socially-engaged art practice.

Good idea on the pool Jodie, and was worried about that, but she sure seems to prefer being inside with the other dogs. I will probably need to leave her at home during my summer hikes though.
And a couple of good photos taken over a weekend hike; first, and hard to see, a pile of animal poop in the middle of a large cactus plant - what message was this animal sending in what I would consider a dangerous move?
And two nice prints, both from the same trackway heading uphill on a game trail. The second picture is a half-print, as the 'animal' was using just the front part of their feet negotiating the incline.

Lucy was such an incredible animal to watch! Her feet and legs are already enormous for a puppy - the end size she reaches will simply be astounding. It is also sort of interesting how the other dogs mostly ignore bones from old kills, etc. whereas Lucy kept one bone for more than half an hour before finally dropping it. Probably the most impressive thing to me besides her obvious intelligence was simply how quiet she was. Listening to 'Tex and I and the dogs stomp around on the leaves, she was silent other than a few crunches in areas where humans and dogs would have made several crashes.
It definitely speaks to how Sasquatches could possibly be so large and so quiet at the same time. At one point Lucy stepped on a short twig (which acted exactly like a thorn) and kept on trucking other than one yip. When Tex pulled it out, I noticed how deep and wide her paw pads were. Probably one of many things which adds to the quiet factor.
One thing is for certain, she's going to turn a lot of heads as she gets older and looks more and more like a full grown wolf.

Here's an interesting print, and fairly fresh. There was no before or after print, and the direction would be difficult for a human. It came from a city owned restricted area (city water supply), and has a well made & maintained barbed wire fence with metal posts. The individual appears to have stepped over the fense, made the print in mud, and jumped/leaped down into the ravine. There is a run-off creek that flows through this part, and resuling mud.
First pic shows the fence, and have outlined the print area & direction in red, second pic showing the area from the other side & print area outlined in red, with the 3rd & 4th pics the print, and a closeup. What ever made the print stepped over the fence, but didn't leave any sign on the fence, and then headed down into the ravine.

Lucy the Wolfy dog, is starting to look more & more like a wolf every day, and big too. She's 13 weeks, and already holding her own with my Ridgeback.
I am also noticing more of the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, differences between her and a regular dog. As an example, she wags her tail in a upward wispy 'S' motion, where most other dogs wag a mostly regid tail. Notice the white tip on the end, and next to black for contrast.......it has a real purpose. When we hike, she is very quiet, and hard to see......but with the upward wispy motion of her tail, the white tip is easy to follow.

My good friend Shadoangel has a thread going, and referred to a spooky story incident we had one night, and made me think........what is the scariest BF situation I have been in?
There are a few, but one stands out more than the others. Of course, my original and only visual sighting is tops, and these other incidents were what I would term near-miss sightings.
This one story occurred about 6 years ago, at my research area on the Brazos river, and in the same area as my original sighting back in '69. There is a legend in this area about the 'Brazos Apeman', and goes back at least 150 years. Also, there is a working Cattle Ranch across the river from where I camp, and has been there at least 50+ years.
Here was the Plan : It was Spring, April, I paddled my stealthy/quiet hunter green kayak up river (against current) to this location a few miles, and hugged the cliff side for a stealthy approach. I did this because there are several natural look-outs in the area, and the downstream route can easily be observed. I set up camp very quietly (no dogs), and concealed my camp in thicket as best I could. I waited until just after dark, and started a manual game caller, and made it sound like a distressed Calf. The long standing Ranch across the river, and obvious food source gave me the idea. The one area of the River where the Cattle would come down to drink was right across from me as well, giving them easy access to the River. In addition, there is a natural low spot on the River allowing the Cattle to easily cross if needed.
Anyway, I kept up the calling, and trying to sound more distressed as I went on. In fact, it was working pretty good, as several of the Cows across the River were responding, several came down looking around the River area, with one aggressively coming across the River towards me.......so I stopped. I continued to wait quietly concealed, and within an hour, the Cattle had calmed down from my Calf distress calls.
I was getting a bit bored, so I decided to do one of my yell/screams, took a few deep breaths, and belted one out. Within seconds of my yell, I heard the loudest most blood curdling roar I have ever experienced. The amount of air this beast was moving was staggering, huge lung power. I was facing the River, let's say 12:00 was directly across from me, and the roar came from across the River, and the 10:00 position. Almost immediately, and after the one roar, the same animal started to mimic a Barred Owl. To my increasing horror, these calls were answered by two more individuals, and on my side of the River! Consider me in the middle of the clock, one was at 7:00, and the other 5:00.........yup, I'm in the middle. This 'Owl' chatter lasted maybe 20 seconds, then silence again. I didn't move or make a sound, and was waiting for something else to happen, and didn't have to wait long. In about 10 minutes, I heard a real Calf being killed.......this lasted about 8 seconds, and the screams this poor animal was making was like nothing I had ever heard, very disturbing. I decided this was enough, left my concealed location, and immediately started a big fire.
I had a parabolic dish, started listening for sounds from the two on my side, could hear them shuffling around for about 45 minutes, and about 50 yards out. During this time, a mother Cow started calling for her Calf. This went on all night, and well into the next day when I left. The mother moving throughout the area, with her voice so horse from calling by the next day. One thing is for certain, a Calf was taken during the night by something.
After thinking about the incident for several days, I was able to make some sense of it, and this is only my opinion of what happened. At least 3 BF's heard the Calf distress calls, and decided to investigate. The amount of time between the distress calls and my yell is about equal to the time it would take them to come down from the overlooking mountain, and take up positions near the Cattle. The BF's were totally unaware of my presence, and were positioned for a perfect ambush attack. The one across the River would try to make the kill, which he did, but just in case the Cattle spooked, the other two had taken up positions on the other side of the River (my side). Their location was strategic, because if the heard spooked, they would most likely cross the River at the natural shallow crossing, and the other two waiting BF's. The one that roared was just pissed that their presence was discovered, and he may have thought that my yell came from one of the other two, hence the curious Owl chatter.
I stayed up all night feeding that fire, and without a doubt was one of THE creepiest things I have ever experienced, highlighted by the power & anger of the roar, plus the blood curdling screams of the Calf being killed.

The snake pictured was a non-venomous type, about 6+ feet, and when I picked it up by the tail, my Rat Terrier charged in from my blind side & ended up face bit.......then Duncan charged in for his chance, but I saw him coming & jerked the snake another direction, near face bit. Lucy, in all of her wolfy wisdom knew better, and was standing about 10' back watching the whole thing. Then later the same hike, Duncan & Izzy pulled a Racoon out of a hole, and the fight was on. I had to jump between them, and the Racoon finally headed up a tree. Interesting though, I was next to the Racoon & very close, as he was reared up and snarling on 2 legs, but he somehow knew I was on his side, and didn't maul the side of my leg. Once again, Lucy was watching at a safe distance.

Hey Gail, there is a report from this same cattle ranch at one of the BF sites, either the BFRO or Texasbigfoot.com folks, Palo Pinto County Texas, and where the guy was positioned for his hunt in the story is right where the cattle head down to the river, and across the River from where I camp. There's also the legend of Hugo's Monster, and the Brazos Apeman that goes back over a 100 years. Another sighting posted at the BFRO is on a bridge over the River, and about 6 miles from where I camp.

Will they eat us, drink our blood, rape us, steal our children?
We don't think so.
Very cool story about the Brazos Apeman (good name). I live in Palo Pinto county. I thought about telling the kids about it but not sure if they'd be scared or not. Then I started thinking about why BF scares us. We go into their home and look for them and then get scared when we find them. Kinda cool and weird at the same time.

The playwright John Marston was born near Wardington in Oxfordshire in 1576. His father, John Marston, was a prosperous Middle Temple lawyer, who owned land in Coventry, where Marston was probably raised. Marston's mother was Maria Guarsi, the granddaughter of the Italian born Balthazar Guarsi, who had been surgeon to Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. Marston was admitted to Brasenose College, Oxford in 1592, and graduated with a B.A. in 1594. He moved to London in 1595 and took up residence in the Middle Temple under the pretence of studying law. Middle Temple itself was part of the Inns of Court, which functioned as England's third university in this period. While organized as an institution of legal training, the Inns of Court …

More in Friday's issue of the Times-Record.
Barnes County residents recently surveyed do not believe alcohol abuse is a serious problem among adults, and they believe underage drinking in Barnes County is less of a problem than it is in other parts of the state. But the statistics imply otherwise.
According to data collected by the Valley City-Barnes County Health District, alcohol use is socially acceptable, and underage drinking occurs and the acceptable age is between 14 and 16 years of age.

Patrick Carroll

Throughout the experienced we felt as if we were working with a friend. So once again, thank you for your help and all the best in the future. Hope to have you over soon.
We had a sudden job opportunity out of the area which required us to quickly sell our house. We decided to list with Widad knowing that she will do what-ever it takes. She gave us helpful advice in staging our house for a quick sale. Within three days after listing with Widad we had our first offer with a signed contract two days later. Her unbelievable service did not end there; she was on top of all of other details that go along with selling a house to ensure an effortless experience right to the closing. We could not think about using anyone else except Widad, and the speed and professionalism in which she sold our house confirmed it.

News From 91.3 KUWS
Long winter=extra hungry bears
Hungry black bear are beginning to emerge from hibernation and state wildlife officials are encouraging people to take precautions to avoid any problems. Brad Phenow reports.
Black bears are leaving their dens and are searching for food. The Wisconsin DNR is encouraging residents to remove any goodies. Brad Koele is the Wildlife Damage Specialist for the DNR. He says the bears are hungry and looking for just about anything.
"Natural foods at this time of year are limited. They're attracted to any other food sources they can find; garbage cans, bird feeders, or potentially even grills that have a little residue on them after cooking."
Koele says with the long, cold winter the bears have spent a little longer hibernating.
"We have had reports of bear siting's in the last month. Probably a little bit later than normal for the majority of [bear] activity but we are pretty much on task as we've seen in other years."
Gary Dalzell is the Owner of Woodside Cottages in Bayfield. He says they have reinforced their dumpster to keep bears out.
"A lot of your regular four yard dumpsters just have a hard plastic cover on the top that you can just flip up with your hand and throw your garbage in. This has a medal top on it and it locks."
He says people should expect and enjoy the natural wildlife of the Northwood's.
"Many of our guests enjoy seeing them whenever they are visible, but it is rare that you see one."
Koele says it's important to be prepared if you are confronted by a bear.
"Make your presence is known, make loud noises, yell and scream at it, try to scare it away. That typical harassment like that will re-instill that fear of humans and in most cases that bear will leave."
He says leave the nuisance bears to the DNR.
"If anybody is having problems with an aggressive bear, or even a bear entering a dwelling or anything like that they should give U.S. Department of Wildlife Services a call and they can help out.
The number for the U.S. Department of Wildlife services in the northern region is 715-369-5221.

People phonetically spell their name by associating each letter of their name with a word. For instance, phonetically spelling the name, "Sam," is S for Sierra, A for Alfa and M for Mike. Phonetically spelling names helps people understand how to pronounce names better.
The phonetic spelling of the name "Sam" above uses the U.S. armed services' phonetic alphabet. Although one can use any word or name to spell their name phonetically, the military's phonetic alphabet is common. The military didn't always use these exact words to spell phonetically. Prior to 1956, they had a different alphabet.
Just as there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, there are 26 words in the phonetic alphabet. Each letter has its own unique word to emphasize the letter. Pairing the letters with specific words helps communication flow easier because both parties know exactly what letter the speaker is referring to during the conversation.
People find it difficult to spell phonetically because they are familiar with spelling their name with only letters. Even though it is a challenge, it comes in handy when talking over the phone. People who visualize the letters while spelling phonetically have an easier time when trying to spell words. With a little practice and visualization, spelling phonetically becomes second nature, just like spelling with letters.
1. Consider carefully how you want your name to be spelled. The spelling cannot be changed to escape legal sanctions or avoid paying debts. 2. Contact the appropriate local government
That is the correct spelling of "phonetically" (by the sounds, as in spelling).
Roe-zuh-lee is how you would phonetically spell the name Rosalie.

i need some opinions from others: My friend wants me to make her pregnant since her fiance hasn't been able to.
Question Posted Friday May 3 2013, 1:47 pm
so my friend of 14 years(she's 22, i'm 19), is trying to have a baby with her fiance, but he isnt able to "make good swimmers"(best way i can think to put it) and so she turns to me and asks for mine, since we've been friends since like, grade school. being a good friend, i think that i'd just donate, BUT here's where my question comes in. she wants to have in naturally, so like intercourse. she's talked it with her fiance and so have i, and he's totally fine with it, but i feel kinda...awkward. should i go through with it? cuz she says i'm her only choice for it

answered Sunday May 5 2013, 2:32 am:
Just to give you fair warning, not every jurisdiction in the US provides legal protections for natural insemination aka having sex with someone in order to be a donor.
You'll want to check your state and make sure that you've got the proper forms filled out ahead of time if you decide to go through with this. You don't want to end up in a situation where they have problems and you end up getting dragged in as the legally unprotected father.
It's understandable you'd feel awkward. Knocking up your friend's fiance isn't exactly within the normal bounds of a friendship. If you're her only choice you could do a normal sperm donation and tell her that's the only way you'll do it. If they're truly serious about having kids, well doing it properly through a sperm bank is a cost they should be willing to bear.
If you do end up sleeping with her make sure you figure it all out ahead of time. I mean, is your friend going to be in the room or waiting out in the living room or something? Keep in mind that some couples will have sex for months before they conceive. You'd need to be seeing her pretty regularly. A normal couple who is trying to conceive might chart ovulation and have sex once a day from like three days before up until her period starts every month (in addition to whatever regular sex) when actively trying to have a baby together.
And, do you guys want to enjoy each other? Do you want to just, well, mount up and finish as fast as possible? Do you kind of need it to be more than just business like? What about the two of them? Which would she perfer? Which would your friend? Is their relationship capable of handling a situation where you come over and make passionate love to his wife every day for a week one week out of the month? Can you both manage that without developing an emotional attachment to each other? Trying to make a baby is a pretty intimate experience, and if you like her enough to enjoy knocking her up you're not going to be done having sex with her when she gets pregnant. How are you going to handle that?
I guess what I'm getting at is don't be stupid. Go sperm bank or go home.

Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question
answered Saturday May 4 2013, 1:02 pm:
It's funny to see this question on here for many years ago I was in the same position as you are now. I was asked to donate my sperm to very good friends of mine.
The husband and I were like brothers from other mothers. He and his wife and me and my wife were all very good friends. We had children and they were unable too. We felt bad for them and were willing to do most anything to help them. Since he and I looked very much a like the thought of my sperm being donated would produce a child that would look like them.
Turning them down was the hardest thing I ever did. We have remained friends as close as ever. When I explained my reasoning they understood.
First: doing so would almost certainly ended our friendship something I felt and they also agreed neither of would ever want.
Second: was how I felt being called Uncle by a child that was actually mine. Yes my wife and I were to be the godparents and we were to be the child's guardian in the event anything happened to our friends. Still the child would know us as Aunt and Uncle.
Last, we also discussed how to go about donating. Natural insemination was the best choice as it didn't involve doctors or a lot of money. We went as far as to discus that his wife, who no one would kick out of bed, would spend the time she is most fertile together in a hotel having three days of sex.
As much as I might have enjoyed three days of sex with his wife, even with my wife's permission it is still cheating on our spouses. This is were our friendship would be most vulnerable.
In the end I felt the cons out weighed the pros of donating to them. As others said there are other ways for then to have a child or to adopt. It is best that they look at one of those ways.

answered Saturday May 4 2013, 11:09 am:
people have different motives. Are you sure they just dont want you for some other purpose if you get what i mean...if she wants a kid she could adopt. There are millions of children who need a parent. Think wisely before you act because this could ruin you.

answered Friday May 3 2013, 11:07 pm:
There is something fishy here...
You are not her only option, There are plenty of fertality clinics that have many options even adoption.
You don't just make a baby for whatever reason it may be. As long as you have been friends for, This sounds real bad. You need to understand that this kid wouldn't be yours. It is only yours through sperm as the agreement would be to give a child. This child will not know you as a father. Another worry, if for whatever reason her and her fiance split..
God only knows if she will come after you for child support.
Say NO! Let them go to someone eles. Do not fall for that trap or you will be setting yourself up for a long hall.

Yet found something good..
I am Cathy from France : http://www.journaldebord.biz/2014/10...ur-parisienne/
i like it man.
That's some interesting stuff you've put up there. I've been toying with the idea of promoting via facebook (I've used twitter exclusively up to this point) and this just might give me the motivation - and the ideas to make it doable.
Great stuff
Hi Everyone!
Welcome to GFELIFE - www.gfelife.com - our Wonderful World of Erotica!!
It's been a very long 6 months creating this website for your viewing
pleasure Many, many hours of filming, traveling, and editing. We tried
to create a Member's site with all the bells and whistles. Most people are
used to surfing the free tube sites, so we tried to integrate similar
features into our site. The ability to search/filter by tags, most
clicked, top rated, etc. It's what surfers are used to, so we decided it
was best to give it to them!
We've had this vision for over 10 years now on what the perfect style of
erotica should consist of and we finally took the plunge, and went full
force on making it happen! We hooked up with a kick-ass make-up artist,
she's amazing, creates a total glam look for all of our models. We are
aiming to keep this site, sexy, classy, a bit artistic and a little
We value our members input so the site will evolve over time, mainly
listening to what they have to say, suggestions for shoots, outfits, etc.
I hope we've succeeded and you'll give us a chance to bring you endless
hours of hot, steamy, sexy erotica!! No filler, just plain, hot action

delete account
We need and support amateur girl sites, get high quality free traffic when you post your link at our site when uploading some pics for the troops
Awesome insight Pete, I do go to some military sites but never thought of offering any kind of sponsorship,love that idea and thx for the tip on making the theme more basic, it's been a long time thing on my mind, I'm sure hearing that input will make me go with your idea as I've felt the same way... Calendar, love it been thinking of that as well now to put it into action, lol thx so much for your input,I get very little and just do trial and error so it's much appreciated.
First of all, congrats on getting 14,000 members. As a community builder myself, I can tell you that getting past 10,000 members is the hardest part. So, great job!
IMHO, in a community environment your best bet is community driven content. My experience is that most communities resist anything that smacks of being too commercial. Besides, if you bring in hired guns with professional photography, you might make the armatures self conscious about uploading.
Instead, why not create a contest for best photo contributions and then take the winners and make a calendar (do a rolling 18 month calendar every 9 or 12 months) ? Make it a big deal to be in the calendar. Sell the calendars to your members or make it part of an exclusive subscription package.
As far as traffic goes, there are a bunch of military forums available. Are you on any of them? They are all hurting for sponsors. Seems to me that is your core base for membership, right?
Finally, if I may sat so with respect, your vBulletin theme hurts my eyes. It looks like a stealth fighter skunk-works project gone bad. I'd highly recommend letting your content do its job and take a minimalist theme approach. Highlight the babes, not the header. On that note, vBulletin has a new Mobile interface that's perfect for viewing HMG on the go. After all, if Service members want to view your site while at work they can't very well do it on a .mil or .gov computer and keep their job.
