There are a dozen variations of the "Pot Roast Parable". It is essentially a story about a newlywed bride who is preparing a meal for her husband. She peels the potatoes and chops the carrots. Just before putting the pot roast in the oven, she cuts off the end. Curious about why she does this, her groom inquires, "Why did you cut the end off of the roast?" She said, "I don't know, it's just what my mother always did." She calls her mom to pose the question. The mother answers with a laugh, "I always cut the end of the roast off because it wouldn't fit into my roasting pan."
Mom grew up in a tiny Mississippi town, attended a three-room schoolhouse until high school, and never traveled extensively. But Mom was, and still is, a reader. She read everything from novels to science magazines. Google didn't exist when I was ten, but my mother did, and that was pretty much all I needed.
When I heard that the actor who played Gilbert Blythe had died, I was sorry, of course. I heard it from a lady at church, who has loved the Anne movies a long time. Then I talked to my friends, who really do care. I read their blog posts and a bunch of articles and a Buzzfeed tribute. Then I explained about Crombie's loss to Meg, who at the ripe old age of five has never heard of Anne or Gilbert (ack!), and now I'm crying.
Every year as Easter draws near, my husband and I would teach our children about Christ's life, death, and resurrection. We would read Easter stories throughout the weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday, and would spend time each morning and evening reading the biblical account, singing Easter hymns and worship songs, and praying together as a family.
We have always felt that Easter Sunday is the most significant event in the history of mankind, for it is the resurrection of Jesus that sets Christianity apart from every other religion in the world.
Some time after we were married, my husband remarked on how much he appreciated good home cooking, thoughtfully-packed lunches, and fresh baked goods. He especially liked the chocolate chip cookies, which I made faithfully for him because I knew they were just about his favorite dessert. However, he did wonder whether I had found a new recipe for them, because he didn't remember chocolate chip cookies tasting quite the way I made them. Was I using the classic Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe, he wondered?
As we savor the remaining moments of summer, and launch a new homeschool year, I'd like to offer some down-to-earth, real-life encouragement to you.
The heat waves rise up from the street, the sun blazes hotter than ever, and the kids look up at you after breakfast wondering what's in store for the day. Well, don't let the heat get you down! Revive your spirit of adventure and think of some fun activities that are free (or practically free) to enjoy while you take a break from school.
What are your plans for July 4th? A back-yard cook-out or picnic? Fireworks? Well, whatever your family does this Independence Day, I encourage you to talk to your kids about what this holiday is really all about.
My children grew up on a patch of land bordering a 15-acre lake most of their lives. Being a homeschooling family of seven gave us countless opportunities to get outside and soak up God's creation...right in our own backyard.
You don't have to wait for summer to get outdoors. Every season has God's fingerprints written all over it, but summertime is a special season to enjoy His handiwork.
Are you already thinking about what you will do with your children over the summer to keep them engaged in learning and challenged? Do you want to create some fun memories along the way? Here are a few tips that will hopefully inspire you and get you geared up for your summer, homeschool "vacation".
Want some great ideas to help your kids stay active and learn more about our wonderful world this Summer?
Look no further! The HSLDA Blog is giving away an entire set of Forces and Motion that is jam-packed with fun activities to keep your kids learning this Summer!
It was a great brainstorming session for young elementary kids. After lunch, we opened a few cans of Play-Doh, and began to twirl and knead a few colors as we discussed some ideas on how to best reach out to our new neighbors. After that interchange, we challenged ourselves to name as many varieties of birds that we could think of in forty seconds. And after that, we settled in for a history lesson and our own made-up "globe game" for geography...
Have you ever considered that prayer is one of the most beautiful blessings of homeschooling? I can't think of anything more precious than hearing our own children talk to God in prayer―to have the opportunity to pray throughout the day about all the issues of life, however big or small―well, that is a wonderful thing...
Don't you just love spring time? The colors, fragrances, and beautiful blossoms? With new life awakening all around us, it's the perfect time to celebrate Christ's resurrection, and to impart key spiritual truths to our kids as we go through the breezy days of spring...
Graduating from high school is a milestone for your students. It marks the end of one chapter and the excitement of beginning a new chapter in their lives! Whether your teen is headed directly into employment, the military, college, or another endeavor, use their high school graduation as an occasion to bless them, make memories, and rejoice in the goodness of the Lord.

Managelogs Handles Apache Logs
The managelogs program manages the Apache Web server generated log files. For version 2.0.0 the developers made some changes to the build.
The managelogs process now uses autoconf and automake. Sourceforge now contains a Mercurial repository for the source code.
Managelogs, like the rotatelogs and cronolog programs, is the answer to the problem that logfiles eventually fill up and need to be purged of their oldest data. The open source program uses the Apache server's capability to write errors and access log files through a pipe to another process. The tool thereby gains flexibility by providing compression at runtime and simultaneously generating multiple output channels with different configurations.
Managelogs allows setting multiple parameters for log rotation or purging. Rotation also allows triggering an external command, typically to gather background statistics. The tool maintains its state across stops, starts and restarts.
Managelogs is under Apache 2.0 license. Further details, tarballs and RPM packages are on the project homepage.

SWAMP THING: The Orchestral ScoreGot a weird treats for you all,SWAMP THING: The Orchestral Score3 years ago in Personal More Like This
For years, whenever I've been intensively drawing a comic project I often felt the need the write myself some music. I've found out multiplying my creative output mysteriously benefit them all. There is, usually, no link bridging my Comic and musical world. Some fugues and some String Quartet sketches have been paired with Batman Incorporated for instance.
This time, being so enthusiast for swamp thing, I went and wrote the scored for issue 7 & 8. OK, not really, but I've tried to cover their thematic stuff in a 3:16 of Full Orchestral Music.
Here a breakdown of the cues:
00:00 The timeless mystery of the Green
00:49 Growth and fate of the Green Warrior
1:36 The Rot
2:00 A bit of actionny big battle for those who got bored until now.
May you enjoy this roughs mix.

Dragon Sculpting Tutorial on YouTube!Alright guys here you go! I finally made a video of me making one of my dragons. The video is pretty long, about an hour, so watch it when you have some time to veg and watch some sculpting. I was going to just make it a time-lapse, but ended up narrating the whole thing, so instead you get to listen to me babble on about sculpting for an hour while I'm making the dragon. It was actually pretty fun to make, so I think I'll make a pony one in the near future as well!Dragon Sculpting Tutorial on YouTube!3 years ago in Personal More Like This

Leaderless Revolution for the 21st CenturyA little while ago, I read a book called The Leaderless Revolution: How Ordinary People will Take Power and Change Politics in the 21st Century by Carne Ross, a former member of the British Foreign Office and delegate of the UK mission to the UN who left his job after seeing how so-called "representatives" represent themselves and the interests of their biggest supporters (such as multinational corporations) rather than the people of the society who elected them or who they were appointed to represent. Ross believes that this removal of agency from the people themselves to representatives, and the alienation it causes, is responsible for much of the conflict in the world. Therefore, he supports a leaderless consensus-based directly democratic government, i.e., anarchism. He gives precedents for this type of government in societies from pre-industrial tribes to the anarchist communes of Spain in the 1930s, the latter being the subject of George Orwell's panegyric HoLeaderless Revolution for the 21st Century3 years ago in Personal More Like This

Oh fuck no you're not. The first two and the fourth listed are probably the least innocent and the third is just stupid. Yes, I'm calling my own fandom stupid.
Twilight and Hetalia: If your fans weren't so batshit crazy and attacked the fuck out of people who don't like it, MAYBE PEOPLE WOULD RESPECT YOU MORE. I'm sure there are reasonable fans, I'm friends with several. But you can't just blame all the shit you get on how omgmeen others are. You have to accept the responsibility of being a fandom known for housing fucking insane fans.
You know I get at least one comment, e-mail, or note every three days or so from one of these two fandoms either screaming at me for not liking it, screaming at me for spreading the hate, or both? Yeah.

Well.... I'm not getting any sleep...I just watched V/H/S and well......the title speaks for itself. Seriously this has got to be one of the most freakiest movies out there. I am a huge fan of found footage films. But this one really scared me. Now I am going to be stuck watching Adult Swims Toonami cartoons. Like I know what the heck is going on in that cartoon called Bleach. When I first read that the title was called Bleach I really thought that there was going to be a bunch of Clorox bottles fighting crime or whatnot. But instead, all I got was a bunch of demons and monsters and swords and ...things......and people talking about who knows what.

What I count as a real CreepypastaWell in my last journal, http://gingaakam.deviantart.com/journal/Jeff-is-a-human-No-way-391361872?offset=25#comments, some people pointed out that in a story like 'Jeff Versus Slenderman' Jeff did something or something immortal or some shit like that.What I count as a real Creepypasta2 years ago in Personal More Like This
FIRST OF ALL, Let me take this time to quote myself:
'ALSO, this is only taking facts from Jeff's ORIGINAL STORY, fanfics and things like that will not be taken into thought.'
ONLY HIS ORIGINAL STORY. But I should also point out what I consider 'real creepypasta'
Crossover stories such as Jeff Versus Slenderman/Jane, I do NOT count as creepypastas. For me they go into a sub category of fanfic, into one of crossovers. And as I've said, I don't read fanfics. Most of the time.
This type of story would be like if I wrote a story of Jeff encountering Kagekao, probably before they knew each other so would be enemies; or at least not friends. It's a crossover, but NOT a creepypasta, a crossover story.
Just because a crossover

Right first off this is not a rant, in fact, this is a study. Yes, an odd thing to study, don't judge me, however I've wanted to do this for a long, LONG time but only recently got the proper research down. The thing is yes I used to be a fangirl, not a major one, and to be fair I used to be a lot of stupid things like a fan of Twilight, but looking back now myself and at current proper fangirls, and also the actual Jeff the Killer story aka the original... I have come to an, interesting discover on why something intended as nightmare fuel is now desired by so many teenage girls.
Firstly if you look at the original image and current representations, they are very very different, especially in looks but also personality to what Jeff was originally shown as. I figured after a lot of thinking this is because the original Jeff didn't have much of a personality. We know he was insane, but, that's about it. As a human he didn't have much development as a character, neith
In _____ We TrustIn response to a recent petition, the phrase "In God We Trust" will stay on US currency. The reasoning included these points:In _____ We Trust2 years ago in Personal More Like This
"While the President strongly supports every American's right to religious freedom and the separation of church and state, that does not mean there's no role for religion in the public square."
"A sense of proportion should also guide those who police the boundaries between church and state. Not every mention of God in public is a breach to the wall of separation - context matters.
"That's why President Obama supports the use of the words "under God' in our Pledge of Allegiance and "In God we Trust' on our currency and as our national motto. These phrases represent the important role religion plays in American public life, while we continue to recognize and protect the rights of secular Americans.

In the meantime, where are my most common writing proverbs. I repeat them a lot in tutoring sessions, but here they are for archival purposes...
The more complex/important the character is to your story, the more awesome their introduction should be. Show them doing something they would only do, and also show them reacting to something that requires a little extra effort from them in a way that shows how they use their extra effort in a unique way. If your character isn't that important, don't give them an awesome intro since we'll be wanting to see more of that character.Don't copy the ideas of others: do the thing that others will want to copy. I call this "the anti-cliche rule." If you saw another story and thought, "I should totally do that," only give your uni

DA COMMISSIONS: WTF?I wanted to share this post I've seen on Tumblr. As a professionnal artist, I already know that I underprice my commissions. When you are a freelance, a drawing is generally 500 to 1000 when you're a beginner. On DA, I generally sell them at 30/50. What to think about the new commission system, knowing that I'm already leaving my commissions for a low price?DA COMMISSIONS: WTF?2 years ago in Personal More Like This
You can easily understand: why do you open commissions then?
Well,I love drawing for other people, and most of commissionners don't even know the real price of a drawing (now you know!). But when I open commissions, this is because I've got the time, because I love to share with commissionners, to know their universe, OCs...and because it helps me to buy new fabric for reenactments too, for sure. But... Well... Shame on you DA! O_o
How can you sell a service for only 0.2/0.4$, knowing that DA takes 20% too?! O_o
It may be a good news for commissionners, but DA, you're killing the artists by making people think that a drawing cos

Those days where the good things you do are either ignored, or you're accused of malice wrongly.
Those days when you hate the world...
For being stubborn.
For being idiotic.
For being shallow.
For being difficult.
For being frustrating.
For being so utterly broken and fallen.
Those days where you just want to give up doing anything at all.
It's on those days I remember, "Oh yeah, He went through the same thing too."
It's on those days I remember, "Oh yeah, He never fought back."
He just kept moving forward.
He just kept doing what was right.
He just kept doing what was good.
Keeping moving, doing what's right, doing what's good, in spite of everything appearing to be against you...

Creepypasta FandomA lot of people are asking; why exactly are people leaving the Creepypasta fandom? The Creepypasta fandom is large and vast. Most are brought into here by Slender or Jeff. I could say Jeff was my first Creepypasta but truly my first was the Bunnyman. But I digress, the reason people are leaving is pretty simple because when you think about it's being killed by some simple stuff that easily kills fandoms. When this kind of thing happens you often wonder and think about it watching it eventually fade away. When some people are simply growing out of the fandom others are leaving it for reasons that people can agree with. That also goes to things that can effect other fandoms; growing out of it is one of the biggest things. Remember when Spongebob was the biggest show on the planet? Or when everybody every time you asked what time it was they blurted out "ADVENTURE TIME!". Most of the time people just grew out of it, but the death or maybe eventual end to the Creepypasta fandom is coCreepypasta Fandom2 years ago in Personal More Like This

Under and Over | How to Wear Sunscreen with Makeup: 7 Stylists Share Their Tips and Pickson June 30, 2015
Sunscreen, sun protection, sun care, UVA, UVB, SPFs … there are so many choices and a lot of jargon when it comes to taking care of your skin in the sun. Sometimes you just want an expert to tell you what they wear, how they wear it and why they love it.
We rounded up seven of our Beauty Stylists to give it to us straight and find out the secrets to wearing sun protection: which ones to get for specific needs, how to wear it with makeup–both before you put on makeup and reapplication that won't ruin your look after–plus the best new products out there.
Turns out, even with all the options available, there was a hands-down favorite among almost all of them. Read on to find out what it was and see all their other sun-care essentials.
Now that summer is here, sunscreen is a must for me, and I carry these products everywhere I go to make sure I stay protected throughout the day. They make it super easy to touch up, and they never run or cause my makeup to look cakey.
1. Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder SPF 15: My go-to touchup powder. It's super slim, compact and leaves my makeup looking fresh and natural all day without a heavy look or feel. I love that it comes with a convenient little puff. Plus, you can't beat that it has your sun protection added as well! I also make sure to press the product into the skin rather than swiping; it gives a more natural look.
2. Dior Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm SPF 10: Our lips need some love too when it comes to sun care, and this is one of my ultimate favorite lip balms for the day. It is nice and creamy, super hydrating and plumping as well. I use it during my morning routine alone, and I carry it with me to touch up. The great thing is that you can apply on top of or mix into any lip color you want (I'll usually use a lip brush). Trust me, this product lasts a long time and is worth the price.
3. COOLA Suncare 'Classic Face' Makeup Setting Spray SPF 30: Here's another little gem that I've added to my purse recently (it's amazing for traveling). I am constantly looking for the newest additions for sun protection–especially something for touchups, since we should be reapplying every two hours. I apply right before I leave the house to set my makeup and easily reapply it during the day too. It not only instantly hydrates, but leaves you protected as well. Just remember: don't get too close to the face, and you're good to go!
Laura Mercier–one of the biggest names in the beauty world–guides us on a trip to Paris, gives us a peek into her handbag and answers the one question she gets asked the most about makeup.
What makes the perfect lipstick?
For me, it's all about the formula. It must feel comfortable to the point where you forget that you are wearing lipstick, must wear all day and must not bleed. Choose a color that is in tune with your mood and personality, truly making it a signature accent to your look.
What three beauty products do you never leave home without?
Secret Camouflage, Primer Radiance and Infusion de Rose Nourishing Oil.
What's the best advice you've ever been given?
Love yourself before you can love anybody else.

Liz Marley | My Signature Fragranceon June 16, 2015
A signature fragrance. That beloved scent worn as part of a unique identity. It may change over time as tastes and moods shift, but we've all experienced an encounter with a familiar combination of aromas, even after years have passed, and they immediately trigger memories: evoking thoughts of mom, dad, friends, an old flame. Scent, as we all know, is a powerful thing. Which is why, in this new series, we explore the signature fragrances of real women–what they love and why they love it–to navigate this invisible world and discover new fragrances to adore.
Liz Marley is a wordsmith by day and perfume genius by night. We know her here at Nordstrom HQ as a talented writer, but she also happens to have her own line of perfume she's worked to develop and launch–PARFUM MAGNÉT. She's serious about fragrance and clearly a perfect choice to tap for our inaugural signature fragrance story. Read on as she shares what she's wearing now and a few choice recommendations.

Our Trending Now shop is all about summer beauty this month. To celebrate sunny days (and staying safe out in them), our East Coast Beauty Director Laksmi Sam shares her three expert picks for sunscreen.
After a long, dreary winter, who doesn't eagerly welcome the feel of warm sun on our skin? While Vitamin D does a lot to boost our spirits and inspire us to throw on shorts, sundresses and swimsuits, it's important to care for and protect any exposed skin during summer months. To navigate it all–with so many sun products out there for face and body, and questions about how often to apply–here are the 3 sun items I think your beach bag really needs.

This version contains some of the world's most advanced toning and fortifying ingredients, and it's a miracle for keeping stretch marks at bay. I'm so excited to share it with Nordstrom!" —Tata Harper
I met Tata Harper when I was four months pregnant with twin girls. My best friend had used her products and swore by them. Tata, a mom of three, said to me, "You have to use my body balm. It's all homemade and truly organic. I'll send it to you; just use it daily on your stomach to help with stretch marks and to keep your skin soft." I thought, With twins I'll try anything!

How to Get a Sunless Tan with Bronzer | M•A•C Guest Poston May 27, 2015
M•A•C Cosmetics Senior Artist Gina Bettelli dishes out tips on getting that warm, healthy summer glow without the need for exposure to harmful UV rays.
The perfect sunless tan is a look all of your favorite celebrities have, and you can too! It's that sandy, caramel tone that's both chic and effortless. Achieving the perfect tan is about getting the finished look to be believable. Here's how to do it.
M•A•C Cosmetics Wash & Dry Studio Sculpt Defining Bronzing Powder is a unique gel formula that feels lightweight and sculpts the face. It's a silky, sheer powder in realistic, sun-soaked shades–like M∙A∙C Wash & Dry's Golden Rinse. Sweep the bronzer along your forehead, temples and jaw in the shape of a "3" for an everyday warmth using the 126 Split Fibre Large Face Brush.
Take your tan to the next level by dusting Studio Sculpt Defining Bronzing Powder in a "W" shape across cheeks, nose and chin. Whisk Mineralize Skinfinish powder high on the cheekbones with a fluffy brush to imitate a sunny flush.
For a luxurious, glowy base, prep your face for bronzer and finishing powder with Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 Foundation and soak up all the approving nods from your peers.
For more tips and inspiration, f0llow Gina Bettelli on Twitter.

Why is (500) Days of Summer rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: (500) Days of Summer is rated PG-13 for for sexual material and language.
A mans romantic obsession with a woman he meets at work leads to frequent sexual rendezvouses, however we do not see any detailed sexual activity. Discussions with friends are somewhat more verbally explicit. Language consists of one sexual expletive, several scatological and mild profanities along with a crude term for female anatomy. A male anatomical term is repeatedly shouted out a in a park where children are present. Sexual orientation issues are discussed, and a woman lists her past hetero and homosexual relationships. Violence is limited to two men exchanging a single punch each in a bar, and a man slapping another man within a comedic context. Alcohol use is frequently portrayed in social settings. In several scenes characters drink heavily prior to and after engaging in stressful situations.

LOS ANGELES, CA- The Westside's original high intensity interval training (HIIT) studio, Burn 60, in partnership with Reimagine, the other half of cancer care, is bringing back the 2nd Annual "Bro 60" charity event on Wednesday, November 19 at 7:30 p.m. at their Brentwood location located at 159 S. Barrington Place in Brentwood (90049) to help educate and raise awareness about men's cancer.
Unless you're living on a deserted island, we all know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but most are unaware that November is Men's Cancer Awareness month, or "Movember", a movement where men grow a moustache for 30 days to spark conversation and raise awareness for men's health issues. Statistics show that 1 out of every 3 people will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime, and men have an even higher occurrence than women. This event helps participants emerge from their cancer journey feeling empowered, self-aware, connected to their loved ones and reengaged in life.
To support this amazing cause, all men are invited to the "Bro 60" event. There will be a trifecta workout taught by three of Los Angeles' most sought after and committed trainers which include Liam Glennon, Nick Malizia and Kris Cueva. Class space is limited to 24 participants. To sign up, log on to www.burn60.com while spaces last. All proceeds benefit Reimagine's nonprofit arm, the Pillars4Life foundation. For additional information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. To learn more about Reimagine please visit: www.reimagine.me.

Silvano and Craig are the perfect hosts. They made us feel at home immediately. We loved our room and the location of their place is ideal to discover the city. We would like to thank them for their hospitality and the interesting talks. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.
Sil and Craig were just wonderful hosts and I would recommend their place to anyone. it is in a fabulous part of Brooklyn, we were near restaurants and very close to the subway to get to Manhattan.. thank you both for your hospitality. jeroen and Kay Australia
Silvano and Craig were the perfect hosts. They are warm, interesting and welcoming people full of fantastic tips and suggestions for exploring New York. We loved chatting with them and we were genuinely sad to leave. Their place is beautiful and the neighbourhood is fantastic - lots to do in terms of restaurants and bars as well as being a fantastic location for getting into Manhattan too. Also, their breakfasts are superb! Overall, it was a pleasure to meet and get to know Silvano and Craig and stay at their beautiful home.
I loved my stay at Silvano's. The location was perfect as the train station was less than 5 minutes away. The room was comfortable and tastefully decorated. And, having a private bathroom was a huge plus.
Craig and Silvano are great hosts. They are very professional.
They invited me to join them for breakfast each day, which was nice on their part.
Highly recommended!!!!
Highly recommended!
The stay with Craig and Silvano has just been great! Silvano kept us updated before our travel, and Craig greeted us when we arrived and took his time to explain us everything. They have made this great list with recommendations, and the neighborhood is all you can dream of with restaurants, cafe´s and independent shops. The room is big and tastefully decorated with a private bathroom attached. It is facing the street, but the street is so quiet it´s hard to believe you´re in the middle of bustling Brooklyn. Every day started with a simple, but great breakfast prepared by Craig (Silvano was in Italy most of the week) and a long, wonderful conversation. They know so many languages and are so updated about everything from art to politics, it was such a joy to start the day there. The house is spectacularly cool, with this little wonderful garden where they even grow their own vegetables. The subway is really close, we walked to Manhattan one of the days over the bridge, and we rented the Citibikes which was another great experience. It was always nice to be able to return to this quiet haven after a day walking the streets. We will definitely be back!
Staying at Silvano & Craig's place was a perfect way to end my days during my trip to visit friends in Brooklyn. We were quite busy during the day and evening and so I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked at the place and exploring the great neighborhood. The quarters were very private - the bedroom was quite large and the attached bathroom was perfect. Also I felt very safe coming back at night which is extremely important. This is the best B&B experience I have had! Thanks and I'll be back!
I'm frequently on business in New York so a home-away-from-home is vital, especially with good transport links. I adored staying with Craig (sadly Silvano was away) at their delightful, characterful (and clearly very loved) home. Craig made me feel so welcome, and the room/bathroom were perfect for me. I especially appreciated the details - the good wi-fi, the plethora of charging points, the handy information sheets. Craig and Silvano are the most thoughtful and kind hosts imaginable and their home is a treasure trove of their experiences and interests. Every object in the house seems to tell a story, and you just know all those stories would be fascinating!
