A pioneering vehicle in many ways, the Toyota Highlander was one of the first midsize crossover SUVs to be sold in America when it debuted in 2001. With its car-based unibody design, the original Highlander provided many benefits over Toyota's more traditional SUVs, including better handling, higher fuel mileage, a quieter cabin, improved crashworthiness and easier entry and exit for passengers.
Since then, the Toyota Highlander has gone on to become one of the most popular crossovers available, appealing to shoppers who want a vehicle with SUV styling, plenty of versatility for hauling cargo and a third-row seat. The third-generation Highlander has the most seating capacity, while the second generation has the most rear cargo space. That said, a Highlander of any vintage is one of the better values out there for those seeking a comfortable, easy-to-drive vehicle that can carry a fair amount of cargo and passengers and handle snow and ice during the winter months while still delivering decent fuel economy.
Current Toyota Highlander
Redesigned for 2014, the current Toyota Highlander is a few inches longer than the previous-generation model and sports notably more aggressive styling. The cabin has also been modernized: Many of the cabin's previously hard plastic surfaces are now covered with softer materials, and the electronics are more up to date.
The Highlander is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Base front-drive models come with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine making 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. All other Highlanders have an impressively efficient 3.5-liter V6 good for 270 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard with either engine. There is also a Toyota Highlander Hybrid that delivers considerably better fuel economy. It is covered in a separate review.
Toyota Highlander shoppers can choose among four trim levels: LE, LE Plus, XLE and Limited. Highlights of the base LE include 18-inch wheels, a touchscreen display, a rearview camera, Bluetooth and an iPod/USB interface. Moving up to the LE Plus gets you a flip-up rear window, a power liftgate, a power driver seat and tri-zone climate control. The XLE's perks include keyless ignition and entry, a sunroof, leather upholstery, a navigation system and Toyota's Entune suite of smartphone app-based services. The top-dog Limited sports 19-inch wheels, upgraded leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, second-row captain's chairs, ambient interior lighting and an upgraded audio system. Additional safety features like blind-spot monitoring, frontal collision warning/mitigation and lane-departure warning systems are also available on the Limited.
On the road, the Highlander's near-silent V6 engine is complemented by a liquid-smooth six-speed automatic transmission with the refinement you might expect in a Lexus. Acceleration is among the best in this class. Unless your budget will only allow the four-cylinder engine, the V6 is the way to go. Maximum passenger capacity is eight -- more than most other crossovers. The third-row seat is still really only suitable for children, but the second row slides and reclines, maximizing comfort. The interior looks and feels upscale and there are plenty of storage areas for your personal items. Overall, we highly recommend the Highlander if you're shopping for a large, three-row crossover SUV.
Used Toyota Highlander Models
The second-generation Toyota Highlander was produced from 2008-'13. It was significantly larger than the previous model in nearly every way, adding shoulder room, hiproom and legroom all around as well as additional cargo capacity.
This generation Highlander felt spry on the road and was easy to drive, with especially brisk acceleration coming from the V6 engine. We liked the quiet, roomy cabin that seated up to seven passengers. While the Highlander's third row was less spacious than those of some rivals, it was easy to reach thanks to a nifty 40/20/40-split second row with a removable center seat that facilitated walk-through access. Cargo space was also down compared to larger crossovers, but this Highlander should still be roomy enough for almost any family.
For 2008, the only available engine was a 270-hp 3.5-liter V6. In 2009 it was joined by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that made 187 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive were standard, and all-wheel drive was available with the V6.
Available trim levels, depending on the year, were base, Sport, SE, Plus and Limited. Standard equipment on the base Highlander included air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and the 40/20/40-split second row bench seat. The Sport trim level (2008-'10) added a more firmly tuned suspension, a rearview camera, a flip-up rear window in the liftgate and a power-adjustable driver seat.
For 2011, Toyota discontinued the Sport trim level and made most of that trim level's equipment standard on the SE (2010-'13). The SE also had a sunroof, heated seats, leather upholstery and an upgraded audio system. The Plus (2013 only) had similar equipment to the Sport. For the Limited, Toyota added 19-inch wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control, upgraded upholstery and a front passenger seat. Major options for this Highlander included a navigation system and a rear-seat entertainment system.
If you're shopping for a second-generation model, take note that the 2008 through 2010 models had a less versatile third-row seat with a one-piece bench design rather than the 2010-'13 model's 50/50-split seat. For 2011, Toyota also mildly updated the Highlander's exterior styling.
The first-generation Toyota Highlander was produced from 2001-'07. It was powered by either a 155-hp four-cylinder engine or a 220-hp 3.0-liter V6. A four-speed automatic transmission was standard. In 2004 the V6 was bumped up to 3.3 liters and 230 hp, and models so equipped received a five-speed automatic transmission, while four-cylinder models soldiered on with the four-speed unit (and 5 extra hp). Available trim levels were base, Sport and Limited.
Base models came equipped with a respectable amount of equipment, including air-conditioning, power accessories, cruise control and a CD player. The Sport trim spiced things up with 17-inch alloys, a sport-tuned suspension, foglights, a power driver seat and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter. The Limited added heated outside mirrors, power front seats, a fold-flat third-row seat (as of 2004) and an upgraded JBL sound system. Popular options included leather seating, an in-dash CD changer, a towing package and -- on the Limited model only -- a navigation system.
Shoppers interested in a used Toyota Highlander might want to confine their search to 2004 models and newer, not just because of the power increase, but also because a third-row seat and rear DVD entertainment system were newly available, enabling the Highlander to remain competitive with the strengthening crop of midsize crossover SUVs. Other significant changes for '04 included the addition of stability control and a tire-pressure warning system as standard equipment, as well as newly optional side curtain airbags for the first and second rows (which became standard on '07 models).

Rosemont, Ill. ---Goaltender Eddie Lack racked up 31 saves to guide the Chicago Wolves to a 2-1 victory over Toronto on Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
Tim Miller and Bill Sweatt recorded goals for the Wolves (13-10-1-3) as the teams condensed all of the scoring into a 2-minute, 2-second stretch of the first period.
"Toronto is a good, grinding team and gave us some difficult looks tonight," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "We were fortunate to capitalize on two chances and were able to hang on."
North Division-leading Toronto (15-10-3-1) enjoyed a brief lead in the first as Lack fended off the initial rush by Darryl Boyce, but Marlies defenseman Jeff Finger seized the rebound in the slot and fired it home at the 6:36 mark.
Just 38 seconds later, Miller earned the equalizer for the Wolves. Sebastian Erixon threaded a pass through the neutral zone to Miller, who skated almost to goaltender Ben Scrivens' doorstep before backhanding a shot that deflected off a defenseman's stick through Scrivens' legs. Erixon and Ryan Parent earned assists on Miller's sixth goal of the season.
The Wolves took the lead for good at the 8:48 mark as Darren Haydar controlled the puck along the half-boards and centered it to Jordan Schroeder. He spotted Bill Sweatt flying down the left side and delivered a pass across the goal mouth that Sweatt turned into his sixth goal of the season.
Lack (5-7-3) and the Wolves defense took it from there. The Marlies enjoyed a 6-on-4 opportunity during the final 52.2 seconds --- thanks to a Wolves penalty and a decision to pull Scrivens for an extra attacker --- but the Wolves held fast.
Scrivens (6-4-0) posted 21 saves for the Marlies, who dropped their third road game in as many days.
The Wolves put their three-game home winning streak on the line at 7 p.m. Thursday when Abbotsford visits Allstate Arena. For ticket information, visit ChicagoWolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

12 Hole Paper Tape - CSIRAC Computer, Interprogram 12/4/60, T753, 1960 Reg. No: HT 13509 191
- Summary:
- Paper tape, part of a collection of paper tape programs and sub-routines used for input to CSIRAC. This is a program tape.
The collection includes the original University of Melbourne Computation Laboratory Paper Tape Library of 12 hole tapes of subroutines and programs, and program and data tapes from staff and outside users.
Most of the paper tapes were 12-track punched paper tapes. 5 hole paper tapes were used primarily for data input and output rather than program input. However, 5 hole program tapes could be produced by using Interprogram, an English language programming system rather than using machine language.
Each tape has a 'T' number. The Computation Laboratory Paper Tape Library consisted of tapes with a tape number less than 700. There were not 700 tapes but the number 700 was arbitrarily chosen to separate the Computation Laboratory Library tapes from user tapes.
Details of this tape:
Interprogram (a) Check preset params (b) Check monitor printing (C) TSP Many corrections
Further information may be found in the headers of either the .CVT or .TSP files.
The Interprogram tapes, HT 13509.191 and HT 13509.314 to HT 13509.322 inclusive, were created by Dr. G. W. Hill. These were a very important development. Interprogram was a programming system using the English language. The University of Melbourne and many others were users. Most of these tapes are in poor condition, torn, patched and most of them will not run as
a consequence of this. The exceptions are HT 13509.314 (T754) and HT 13509.315 (T755). HT 13509.314 was almost immediately readable, and is fully documented in G.W. Hill's Ph.D thesis, but it took a lot of work by Ron Bowles and John Spencer to make HT 13509.315 workable. These are the only two of the 8 programs which can be run. Their .tsp files are fully annotated, unlike for most other programs. John Spencer said (March 2009) ?that it was too much work for us to be able to make the rest of them run, and maybe we couldn't have done so anyway?.

From Fort Meyers, Florida, to New York City, Joe Kennedy has taken a huge leap up north to pursue his interest in advertising. He is a UX/UI Design intern who lives by the saying, "Move fast and break things." Even though we're only a few years apart, it's always inspiring to sit down with a peer younger than me. It definitely made me want to up my game and hustle more in this industry. Take a look at my interview with our 19-year-old creative as he discusses his experience over the summer!
Tell us about your role and what account you're working on.
I'm a graphic designer, so I've been doing a bunch of stuff ranging from app designs to logos! We work on a different brief each week, currently Sherwin-Williams.
Describe your day-to-day routine with D-Prep in the New York office.
The first and most important part of my day consists of getting cereal from the kitchen. I check my email when I get to my desk, and after that the team meets up and we discuss what should be done for the day. We accomplish those goals, then meet up once more to go over what's next!
What programs do you think are necessary to master before beginning a creative internship?
It's pretty essential to have a solid understanding of Photoshop and Illustrator. Maybe InDesign for decks.
Would you say D-Prep has challenged your creative abilities since you've started?
Yes! Usually on my own work I have a specific idea in mind that I elaborate on and create. D-Prep has challenged me to think about a different solution each week, so everything's moving really fast and it can be quite stressful. It's a really good brain exercise, though!
What is one thing you wish you had known prior to starting your internship?
I wish I had a better understanding of the process behind presenting an idea or solution to a company in a persuasive way. I've never worked in the ad industry, but this experience has definitely helped!
Do you have any office rituals that you have picked up since you started?
Now that summer is coming to a close and we are almost done with our internship, what was a defining moment you this summer?
Not sure if there's a specific defining moment, but just being able to take in New York. The small food stands, parks, museums, huge buildings – it's all pretty surreal and it will definitely be a memorable experience.
And last, but not least, have you discovered any hot spots (restaurants, bars, thrift shops, tech stores, etc.) in the city while you've been her?
Penn Plates! It's right near the office and there are so many small food stands with awesome stuff. I just had this Turkish wrap thing today and it was great.

Stroke is a brain injury caused by an interruption in blood flow. Brain tissue that does not get oxygen and nutrients from blood can die within minutes. The damage to the brain can cause a sudden loss in bodily functions. The types of function that are affected will depend on the part of the brain that is damaged.
There are two blood flow problems that cause a stroke. Strokes may be ischemic or hemorrhagic.
An ischemic stroke occurs when something stops the flow of blood. It may be a buildup or swelling of the walls of the blood vessels and/or something in the blood that becomes stuck in the blood vessel. A blockage in a small blood vessel will affect a smaller area of the brain. A blockage in larger blood vessels can block the flow of blood to several smaller blood vessels, leading to more brain damage.
The blockage may be the result of one or more of the following:
Certain factors increase your risk of stroke but can not be changed, such as:
Other factors that may increase your risk can be changed such as:
Certain medical condition that can increase your risk of stroke. Management or prevention of these conditions can significantly decrease your risk. Medical conditions include:
Risk factors specific to women include:
Symptoms occur suddenly. Exact symptoms will depend on the part of the brain affected. Rapid treatment is important to decrease the amount of brain damage. Brain tissue without blood flow dies quickly.
Call for emergency medical services right away if you notice any of the following sudden symptoms:
A physical exam will be done to look for muscle weakness, visual and speech problems, and movement difficulty. If possible, you will be asked about your symptoms and medical history.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Blood tests can also help determine if there is a bleeding problem.
Immediate treatment
is needed to open the blocked blood vessel. This should restore blood flow to the brain tissue and stop further damage.
Treatment after immediate care will aim to:
Supportive care may also include:
Certain patients will receive a group of drugs called thrombolytics. These medications can rapidly dissolve blood clots. They are often given by IV but can be delivered directly to the arteries where the blood clot is. These medications need to be given within hours after the start of symptoms to be effective. That is why it is important to get medical help right away if stroke symptoms develop.
Aspirin and other medications that decrease the risk of blood clot formation may be recommended after immediate care is done. These medications may prevent future strokes from occurring.
To help manage other health issues and decrease the risk of future strokes the doctor may recommend medication to:
A surgery may be done to allow blood flow back into the affected area such as:
A stroke can cause swelling in the brain. A decompressive surgery, such as
craniotomy, may be needed to relieve the pressure in the brain to prevent damage.
Other surgeries may be performed following a stroke to prevent a recurrence. These surgical options include:
If brain tissue was damaged, rehabilitation can be an important part of your recovery. Rehabilitation may include:
Many of the risk factors for stroke can be changed. Lifestyle changes that can help reduce your chance of getting a stroke include:

There currently exists a need for type O-negative blood, which is known as the universal red cell donor, meaning the blood type can be transfused to anyone, according to Jamie Muldrow with the American Red Cross.
There is also a shortage of B-negative blood type.
"This time of year, there is a decline in donations because people tend to be busy with other things – planning for the holidays, traveling," Muldrow said.
One pint of blood can save up to three lives.
The Red Cross South Carolina Blood Services Region provides donated blood to 54 hospitals.
Approximately 500 people need to give blood or platelets each week day to meet hospital demands, according to the Red Cross.
"Donating blood is an opportunity for people to give the most important gift of all, the 'gift of life,'" said Ryan Corcoran, chief executive officer, American Red Cross, South Carolina Blood Services Region. "The Red Cross depends on the generosity of volunteer donors to meet the needs of patients in our area and across the country."
For more information or to schedule an appointment to donate, call 1-800-733-2767 or visit www.redcrossblood.org.

EDITOR'S NOTE: On April 1, 1955, the town of Santa Rosa became known as Santa Rosa Beach. In honor of that milestone, The Sun is proud to present this retrospective by an author and longtime visitor.
In December, 1956, word reached Panhandle property owners in Florida's south Walton County that a "beach route" would be built to link the coastal enclaves of Seagrove Beach, Grayton Beach, and Blue Mountain to each other and to Destin to the west and Panama City Beach to the east. It would be called 30A.
Not everyone liked the idea.
The vice president of the First National Bank in Birmingham, who owned a cottage in Seagrove, wrote the head of the Florida Highway Department that he had invested in the region "because of the quiet seclusion" and did not want that to change. The Florida Highway Department ignored his objections.
C. H. McGee, who developed Seagrove Beach, offered the state land away from the coast if it would route the road around him. The state turned the developer down.
McGee was one of Florida real estate's unsung pioneers.
After World War II, when places like Panama City Beach were actively creating "amusements" and promoting fishing to attract visitors from the lower south, McGee took a different tact. Hoping to impress people like the Birmingham banker, McGee laid out a tightly regulated community with a covenant that promised "no trailer, tent, shack, outhouse, or other temporary structure will be allowed."
Lots were plotted for single family dwellings and only "approved and accepted" building material could be used. Then to seal the deal, McGee guaranteed that "no noxious activities, offensive noises or odors, nor any nuisance" would be allowed to intrude on the quiet and seclusion.
Those who wanted cheap accommodations and "amusements" could go to Panama City Beach where what would come to be known as the Redneck Riviera was rapidly rising. Folks who were financially and socially above that could find their own kind in Seagrove.
In effect, McGee created a gateless gated community. Three miles off U.S. Highway 98, without a road to connect it to its nearest neighbor, Grayton Beach and Seagrove sat in splendid isolation. There was a little store for staples. Later a small motel with a café was added, but that was it. A "beach route" promised change and vowed not only to bring traffic and noise, but to open the coast to the element that Seagrove homeowners wished to avoid – rednecks.
Homeowners were not happy.
The road was built in phases and by the early 1970s it was completed. At first few used it. Though a pretty drive, most folks traveling between Panama City and Destin were in a hurry so they stayed inland on U.S. 98. There was so little traffic that late in the 1970s a nude/gay beach began unofficial operation at a secluded spot off the road.
In the early 1980s things began to change.
Walton County was run by upcountry agricultural and timber interests. The coast did not even have a county commissioner. So when developers sought permission to build two high-rise condominiums on the beach side of 30A, just east of Seagrove, the commissioners allowed it.
Homeowners were not happy.
With construction came problems. At a curve where 30A veered away from the beach someone opened a restaurant and bar that quickly turned into a honky tonk where workers from the condos, and shrimpers and oystermen from back on the Bay, mingled with some of the year-round residents to give Seagrove a taste of redneckery.
Homeowners were not happy.
Meanwhile, condo developers ran into problems with water pressure and sewage treatment.
Developers were not happy.
Commissioners began to wonder if condos were not more trouble than they were worth.
That was when a delegation from Seagrove showed up at the commission meeting. The exchange went something like this:
"We don't want any more high rises."
"What do you want?"
"Height limits."
"How high?"
There was a pause. Not thinking they would get this far the delegation had not come with a consensus on height.
Then someone spoke up. "Fifty feet."
So it came to pass that 30A would not have the "wall of condos" and the multi-storied motels that were rising at Panama City Beach and Destin. Nor would it have the "amusements" and bars that attracted the sort of people who rented those condos and motels — no Goofy Golf, no carnival rides, and no bands with the name "Trashy White" singing "I'll be glad when you're dead you sumbitch you."
30A would attract affluent and accomplished baby boomers looking for a place to relax and young urban professionals — "yuppies" — whose attitudes and affectations were anything but redneck.
They found what they wanted at Seaside.
Seaside's story is well known. Its "founder," Robert Davis, set out to create a "real town," yet one more carefully designed and controlled than anything C. H. McGee ever envisioned. There people would live, work, and interact with their neighbors — even if the interaction was only sitting on the mandated front porch and talking with folks on the other side of the required picket fence.
What started as a collection of cute, brightly painted cracker cottages around a village grocery, hardware store, and shrimp shack quickly evolved into an architectural fantasy world, a laboratory for New Urbanist ideas, an investment opportunity, an upscale resort, and a tourist attraction, complete with concerts and events, like wine tastings. Seaside has been called many things, but never redneck.
Not long after Seaside began, the honky tonk in the curve closed.
Seaside set out to become the cultural capital of Walton County, a title for which there was little competition, and when its rental program got going the community became a destination for the well-bred and affluent who enjoyed recreational eating, recreational shopping, and entertainment that did not include all-the-beer-you-can-drink for $5, wet t-shirt contests, or singers praising recreational sex. Other planned communities soon followed — WaterColor, WaterSound, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach — spreading sophistication as they swallowed up acres of sand and scrub.
No more seclusion for the nude and the gay.
No place for the redneck to play.
Recently, Florida Travel and Life announced that 30A was the "Pearl of the Panhandle," a place where visitors would find "southern hospitality in a trendy setting." And when the magazine described what it called the "ethos of 30A" it focused on the "anyone-can-do-it" doings that characterize life along the route.
Well, "anyone can," if they want to "do it" in a setting a bit more structured, better organized, more expensive and, some would argue, more self-absorbed, than you find on stretches of the coast where redneckery still survives.
However, along 30A, where communities are not overwhelmed by high-rise condos and where entertainment is more refined, people who can pay the price can enjoy what a redneckless Riviera has to offer.
C. H. McGee would be proud.

A MET is a measurement of oxygen consumption. One MET equals the approximate amount of oxygen consumed per minute by a person at rest. An individual exercising at two METs is consuming oxygen at twice his or her resting rate.
The primary difference between home and commercial equipment is the engineering and construction to ensure reliability and performance under different use conditions. Precor commercial equipment is designed to withstand near constant use in facilities, while home equipment is built to withstand use in a home setting. Home equipment also features more user amenities and individual-based programming such as User IDs, workout logs and safety features. Home equipment is also generally smaller, weighs less and has an softer, warm brown color palette.
Though it can be annoying, the static generated by exercising on your Precor equipment is not dangerous.

Coach Moore Post Game ETSU
Opening Statement
I was really pleased in the first half with our effort. In the second half we worked on our zone a little bit because we might have to play it some later in the season. Faith Dupree's situation takes a little bit away from the win tonight. I'm proud of our team we're 3-0 good start to the season. If we are without Faith for an extended period of time other people are just going to have to step in and fill the void.
Who will replace Faith?
We have Ashlen Dewart who was playing in and out with Faith to keep them as fresh as possible so that's a big blow. We'll have to look at some different options. Taylor Freedman possibly, Taylor Hall might have to play her some. Our job is to get the five best players out there on the court and we'll figure that out.
Thoughts on how the zone was working.
They were killing us on the offensive boards in the zone. That's the problem with the zone because you don't know who to box out and lose assignments. But at the same time we need to work on it and I think a good zone will look like a packed in man to man. We have to understand that the same principles that go along with a containment man to man will apply to a zone too. We've worked on it some but not enough and tonight was a great opportunity to work on it in the second half.
Thoughts on Meghan Downes' game.
Meghan is very capable of having a game like that. Every now and then you have to reel Meghan in she gets a little out of control but I'd much rather have to reel somebody in then get somebody going. She has a lot of energy we just have to make sure we funnel it in the right direction.
Did you see what happened to Faith?
One of her teammates fell across the lane and Faith was facing her and it looked like the girl fell right into her knee. It happened on the rebound attempt. I hope that we get some good news tomorrow.
Did she have knee problems before?
She hasn't had anything major. I think basically she had some tendonitis some in the past but not anything serious.
How would you describe your execution in the first half?
I thought the first half was good. We were knocking down shots and turned them over quite a bit with our man to man defense. We were up 42-20 at half so I can't complain much. There were still break downs. I think defensively and rebounding we have to get everybody to but in. we're not going to shoot 48% every night in the first half so we are going to have to play defense and rebound to keep us in some games.
Megan Downes, junior, guard
On her career night
"I guess we were slow to start the second half. I figured we needed someone to step up so with the help of my team I took that role."
On where her shots came from
"Mainly it came from the set offense. I had a lot of threes in the corner. I felt like that was the most consistent shot that I had."
On getting off to a big lead early
"It felt good. It always gets the energy going for the team. The starters get it going and the second team that goes in is pretty excited to get out there and help with what the first team was doing."
Kayla Christopher, senior, guard
On the importance of starting strong
"I thought we came out with a lot of energy. Last time we were here was a big win. There was a different atmosphere tonight. We had to keep up the intensity that we brought last time and I think we did that, especially in the first half. I think that was important for us coming out."
On the execution
"I think our defense definitely wasn't what we wanted. We gave up 18 offensive rebounds and we had eight, which is not something that we like to do. But we knocked down shots and shot the ball well, and we played hard so at the end of the day it worked out for us."
On ETSU playing zone in the second half
"Definitely in the second half I feel like it was a much closer game than it was in the first half. They started out in a zone and spread us out. We had a lot more turnovers in the second half, so they got after us a little bit."
On playing more as a team than as individuals
"Most of us are veterans so we've been playing together for a few years now. I think that is something we've been lacking the last few years. This year so far we've been able to put it all together and play as a team."

How Did Kim Zolciak Lose 30 Pounds of Baby Weight? Her Answer May Shock You!
Kim Zolciak welcomed two beautiful baby boys in two years — KJ, now 21 months and Kash, now 5 months — and even though they are the center of her world, the mama really had to work to get back into her pre-baby shape.
However, Kim didn't really hit the gym or go on any crazy diet to shed the 35-plus pounds she gained when she was pregnant with Kash. So, what's her secret?
When a Twitter follower asked Kimmie for the secret to her weight loss, she replied, "Breast feeding and filming lol."
While we've heard that nursing can help new moms get back into shape, we aren't exactly sure where filming fits into everything. But who knows — maybe Kim just wanted to look her best for the cameras!
Are you surprised by the unorthodox way Kim said sayonara to all of her baby weight? Sound off below!

New Year's Day 2012 I took a trip out to Pasadena's Rose Bowl to help with the Donate Life float for the Rose Parade, which was on Jan 2nd this year. Donate Life is an amazing organization that raises awareness so we stick that pink dot onto our driver's license, to help save lives by being an organ donor. My dad was a kidney recipient, so this organization rings very close to my heart.
This is the beautiful finished float. The folks sitting on it are the stars of the show…family members of donors from 2011. The stories I heard yesterday were so moving, and I broke into tears numerous times. One woman's 9-year old daughter had gone to the hospital for an ear infection. The hospital misdiagnosed and mistreated her (not uncommon), and she died. Her mom was proud to share how her daughter lives on in others, literally, and that her daughter has saved many lives by being a donor. You can see the portraits of each donor on 6 clock faces, a total of 72 donors are honored.
My good friend Vicky is a 'red jacket' and one of the team leaders on this huge project. She's been here working on the float for weeks from early morning until 11pm. A huge undertaking, whew.
We are all misting the flowers with water before the float is moved outdoors for judging. It was gorgeous in Pasadena, 80 degrees!
Everything on all of the floats in the Rose Parade are all organic! This means only living materials like flowers, leaves, seeds,…all put on by hand.
Look at this detail….mustard seeds painstakingly glued onto the surface. Wow.
Beans and flower petals have all been attached by hand.
This is the bed of roses underneath the clock with the moving hands at the front of the float.
Look closely and you can see each of these red roses has a wish tied onto them.
When the float moved outside into the sun, all the colors popped so brightly! You can see the driver of the float inside the open door. The driver can't see a thing, and is guided by audio by someone outside the float.
At one point, everyone held hands in a circle around the float. It was very moving. And even the judges teared up and cried when they talked with the donor families and heard all the incredible stories. Today, I discovered (since I don't have a TV to watch the parade myself) that our float won one of the top 3 trophies and the craftsmanship award for outstanding showmanship and dramatic impact over 55 feet! Yeah! I also heard that floats cost about a half a million dollars to build! Great exposure and for a wonderful cause.
This was one of the best, most memorable New Year Day's of my life. What a way to spend the 1st day of the new year. Plus, I felt like it was in honor too of my dad, who was so very blessed to have had a kidney transplant, which helped extended his life another 10 or 12 years. I learned that a liver lives for 100 years, so even after someone passes from old age, a liver can be donated to help another person live. Amazing.
I've chosen to be an organ donor for as long as I can remember, and I hope you will also consider joining me in helping save lives so someone else may live one more day! For more information check out Donate Life.
This was the beautiful view of the rose gardens as we arrived at the NetKal Gala event….. gathering of Asian Americans in entertainment.
Styled by my favorite fashion designer Linda Loudermilk of all time, plus…she's all about luxury eco! Makeup and hair by the best artist ever, Dorit Genazzani.
The beautiful Lisa Ling (Oprah Winfrey Network, Our America) and her husband Dr. Paul Song.
Bryan Tee from Fast and the Furious. I can count all of 2 Asian actors in film. At least they're representing! Yeah.
From the TV show Dexter, actor C.S. Lee. Okay, this makes 2 Asian actors…one TV, one film, so far. I can think of one more Asian male from TV. Hopefully, you can too.
The NetKal Gala was held at USC at the Annenberg Center.
The event was catered by my friends at Good Gracious Catering. I met Pauline and Joanne at Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration weekend event last spring, where I was invited along with Chef Rick Bayless (Frontera), Candace Nelson (Sprinkles), and Govind Armstrong (8oz Burger). So impressive they included vegan raw along side these TV celebrities.
The food was presented beautifully. And, my friends hooked me up with a vegan meal, of course!
Check out this space, there was a pool and water fountain in the center. It was cold that night though. The ladies were all freezing in their cocktail dresses. I had my coat on for dinner. Dinner was accompanied by performances by 3 Korean pop stars. Sort of made me giggle. USA and Korea entertainment is very different. An incredible event. And great conference the following day with discussions and inspiration for ways to encourage more diversity in the media. Some said it'll take a few years. I'm not holding my breath though….
Thank you Nathan Nowack for these gorgeous photos. Please visit Nathan Nowack for more photos from this event.
To celebrate completing my book, I spent the day on my bicycle. Rode it about 25 miles to and from the ocean, and I was stoked the sun finally came out…even in Santa Monica (which seems to always be overcast, foggy, and cold compared to West Hollywood). While I was in Santa Monica, I stopped at the beach by the pier, where there's an adult playground with ropes to climb, balance beams, parallel bars, and a row of rings to swing on.
Since I'm a monkey (Chinese year of the Monkey) I was drawn to the rings. It looked hard, but it really doesn't take strength, but rather, finesse. You just have to get enough momentum, rocking back and forth, to swing and grab the next ring. That said, my hands were killing me, and I was on the kiddie set of rings! The adult set are really high up, and scary. But, perhaps I'll give them a try next time I visit the coast.
Whenever I find myself West of the 405, which is a rarity, I make sure to stop into see Juliano at Planet Raw for his kick-ass chocolate shake….that revs up my cycle back home. Yesterday, I enjoyed a burrito at Better Life Cuisine, and spent a couple hours catching up with Dr. Z, who owns that building.
Back in WEHO, I stopped at Beverly Juice Club for my favorite green juice shake blended with frozen banana and sunflower seeds (no added sweetener). Had hoped to get to my favorite Koreatown Sauna, but ran out of time. Instead, met my friend and his puppy at the park with Kanga, and they had a great doggie play date together. Then, met up with my brother, Max, for dinner later in the evening.
A great day it was celebrating life, love, health, sunshine, and ….with good friends and family. I'm blessed.
Labor Day marks the weekend my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, and I rescued one another….9-years ago! How time flies. (and yes, I cake sunblock on my face, as you can see).
Kanga had been at the Humane Society for over 2 weeks, and no one adopted her. Surprising, since she is a beautiful specimen of this breed. Plus, she came fully trained, so someone had spent a lot of time and energy with her. She was skin and bone, and 50+ pounds underweight with kennel cough and dusty fur. Poor baby.
Luckily, a truck intercepted 20 dogs on their way to get euthanized, and brought them back to a no-kill shelter in Portland, OR called Family Dogs NW. This was where I found Kanga early the very next morning. I applied the same raw food principles to Kanga as I do for human healing, and over the next month or two she gained 50 pounds and regained radiant health on a Raw Food diet. You can read more about her journey in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, where Kanga has her own dog food chapter.
My brother Max saw this photo of Kanga and said she looks like she's "mugging". I had to ask him what the heck that means. Max said "mugging = posing, like rappers do for pics". Hahaa. Yup, Kanga is a superstar, and very popular too. Folks always stop us to pet her, especially young children.
Kanga's from Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe Rhodesia, and the Sahara so she loves the sun, warmth, and sand. She hates water, but it was so hot out that Kanga got her paws wet. I love dog beach because here she can roam off-leash, and run free to play with other dogs.
Kanga and I love laying in the sand and soaking up the sun. It's never hot enough for us, and soaking up sun is one of our favorite past times. I'm happy I got to take Kanga to Huntington Dog Beach yesterday on the final hot day of the summer (it was 90 F) to celebrate her 9-year Bday and Dogversary with me. Thank you Kanga for being my family, love, and for hanging out with me for the past 9-years! I love you.
My family loves to take our holiday in mid to late January in honor of Mom's birthday, and after the holiday crowds have dispersed. This year, we found our way to the beautiful island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
When the water reaches out to the horizon with over 180 degree views, it's super calming and breathtaking.
The palm trees are over 5 stories tall, and full of green coconuts that I can't reach. It's torture, especially since there's a bunch right off my balcony. It took me several days before locating a coconut to drink. (Though, I think I like Thai coconuts better. They have a sweeter and fuller flavor.) I was surprised at how little fresh produce or raw foods were available on St Thomas. They were serving pineapple juice out of giant cans and were making smoothies using strawberry puree from a box! Thank goodness I packed most of my suitcase with fruits, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds, blue green algaes, and superfoods.
I met a lot of iguanas, they are so cute, and very mellow. Folks seem afraid of them, but they're harmless.
All I want to do on holiday is play play play. One of my favorite pastimes is swimming in the warm ocean (the ocean in LA is much too cold for me). I've been enjoying the sun, lifting heavy weights, and running up mountains. I don't recommend running here because the roads are very narrow, there's no shoulder, no sidewalk, and people drive crazy. I don't think you can ride a bike here either, and I haven't seen one yet.
Forgive me for being a cheeze ball here, but I want to show off my ab muscles. I don't remember seeing abs on myself since I was in middle or high school. I'm happy I upgraded my workouts from long, slow, distance to explosive, heavy, and intense workouts. I believe training with sprints and intense spikes in cardio is how we exist in nature since we have to quickly and suddenly run away from predators.
Since St Thomas is 4 hours ahead of LA, I haven't seen a sunrise yet. But, the sunsets are gorgeous! Sitting on the beach under the stars and moon at night is such a treat. Thank you to my friends in Florida for telling me to avoid night swimming because that's when sharks feed. As a raw fooder, you know I would have been out in the ocean swimming naked every night! Ha haaa.
I had the honor of leading Farm Sanctuary's Walk for Farm Animals with founder Gene Baur in Santa Monica. You may remember I was invited during the summer to speak at the annual Hoe Down in Watkin's Glenn, NY with China Study author Dr. Colin Campbell.
We kicked off the walk with talks by Gene and I. Kanga, my pooch, was happy to be a part of the Walk for Animals.
Tami Erin, who played Pipi Longstocking as a child, was our celebrity who came to show her support.
Gene, Tami, Kanga, and myself lead the walk. We covered about 3 miles north from City Hall through the 3rd street promenade. It was a beautiful sunny day, and tons of cars beeped to show their support as they were driving past.
The walk finished back at City Hall in Santa Monica, where Gene and I signed books. The lovely Jolia Allen and Moira Nordholt walked with us too. It was the largest turnout yet, with over 150 walkers.
I gave my digestion a break today by skipping solid food and drank Energy Soup (inspired by Ann Wigmore) all day. So, I decided to feed my hair instead with an Indian Head Massage.
Our climate's dry here in Los Angeles (a dessert), and the sun's been bright this summer, reeking havoc on my locks. My hair felt dry and my ends brittle. So, I took my bottle of organic, extra-virgin, cold pressed olive oil into the bathroom, and poured a heaping tablespoon into the palm of my hand. I massaged the oil into my scalp and hair, and worked it through to the ends. Note to self: next time, pour the oil directly onto scalp…I have a lot of hair.
Our skin is our largest organ, and you know I like to avoid putting things on my skin that I can't drink since it absorbs into my blood stream. Well, did you know our scalp is one of the most absorbent areas of our skin? Mine drank up more than a 1/4 cup of olive oil, and was happy for the increased blood flow and circulation from the massage.
I first discovered this massage, also known as Indian Head Massage, at a spa in Portland, OR. It alleviates stress and tension, increases blood flow and circulation, and promotes hair growth. Supposedly, this treatment done in the evening before bed helps alleviate sleeping issues, so I'm hoping it will cure the insomnia I've been suffering from all week long.
Choose almond, coconut, sesame, and/or olive oil since they moisturize, condition our hair, stimulate hair growth, and have a neutral scent. After your massage, wash your hair, and dry. I always choose to air dry.

I was in NYC last week for my television appearance on NBC at Rockefeller Center and several events celebrating my newest book Ani's Raw Food Essentials. I love how easy it is to get around NYC without a car by walking, taking a train, bus, or subway. I miss great public transportation when living in LA. It's also surprisingly easy to be healthy and to enjoy raw foods in NYC. I felt super lucky to be invited by the lovely Mia Andres from Organic Avenue and raw model Anthony Andersen for dinner at Pure Food and Wine.
This was my first visit to NYC in 6 years, and my first visit to Pure. I was blown away by the food! It was super fresh, beautifully plated, and really delicious. We enjoyed the S+M salad, appetizers, ravioli, lasagna, but my favorite thing ever was the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sundae! I finally got to meet the heart of Pure Food and Wine, Sarma Melngailis, who's even more beautiful in person.
I had been to Quintessence my last visit to NYC 6 years ago. It was good then, and was really good this time around again. We enjoyed tacos, burgers, sundaes, but my favorite was the bagels and cream cheese! Wish I had been there on a weekend to enjoy their raw vegan brunch menu.
I was craving Pure's Mint Chocolate Sundae, so had to make it back for one more dinner before heading back to Los Angeles. My friend Moby, a long time vegan, and my favorite electronic musician, met me in the garden for dinner along with a few friends and my cousin, Minnie Roh. We enjoyed pizza, ceviche, tamales, smoothies, drinks, lasagna, appetizers, chips and guacamole, but most importantly…a Mint Chocolate Sundae! Everyone was hooked.
To boost this blissful experience even further, Shania Twain, a friend of Moby's, and Canada's most popular musician, stopped by our table to catch up with Moby. What a way to finish up my NYC visit!
Moby was performing with his new heavy metal band DiamondSnake last night in Hollywood, where I bumped into Frances Fisher and Eva. We had a blast dancing up a storm. You can see Moby on stage behind us rocking out to his new Heavy Metal music.
Lead singer Phil Costello's voice is incredible. They have a song called Rock and Raw, give it a listen on their homepage. These guys are a funny!
It was way past my bedtime of 10pm, and I lasted to about midnight, but left before they finished their set, unfortunately. I hope to get to see DiamondSnake again, maybe along with NYC tour next month.
DiamondSnake was sporting vegan guitar straps, very cool! Choosing vegan has the biggest impact on helping to save our planet and stop animal suffering. Besides, a vegan diet, and especially a raw vegan diet, helps with weight loss, increases health and our immune system, and gives us tons of energy to rock on roll!
It's official, I now like Heavy Metal music. Moby…I love you!
During my silent 10-day Vipassina mediation last October, I had a vision to work with kids in underprivileged neighborhoods teaching them how to garden, grow food, and make healthy food. These neighborhoods lack fresh produce or healthy food options. The only way to save lives is to teach kids about food, real food. Growing our food builds confidence and self reliance. It's important for kids to understand where their food comes from.

She helped create The Healthy School Food Coalition, The LA Food Justice Network, and the California Food Justice Coalition. An inspirational lady…passionate, intelligent, and beautiful.
Neelam and I met at the Expo Center garden, where I first met Dana Clay, the Urban Farm Assistant responsible for this beautiful garden. I found a curry tree for the first time, and the leaves tasted pungent, like curry.
They even had a cherimoya tree! Yum. The last time I saw a cherimoya tree was in Baja. I love cherimoya, and just picked up 3 at the local farmer's market. Visit CSU's weekly Farm Stand in front of the Expo Center on Menlo just north of MLK on Thursdays from 3-6pm.

Nearly 148 years ago in what was its most famous battle, the 54th Massachusetts regiment stormed the walls of Confederate Battery Wagner on Morris Island by crossing a narrow sand beach.
About 650 freed black men volunteered to fight for the Union infantry unit, making it one of the first all-black regiments in the United States. On Saturday, re-enactors honored the soldiers as part of Black History Month.
The day-long event was part of the Charleston County Library's Magical History Tour, sponsored by the Humanities council of South Carolina to celebrate African-American culture. It also included performances by Gullah singers, African drummers and a black history hip-hop group.
The event featured eight re-enactors from the 54th Massachusetts, Company I, Civil War Regiment who camped out on the front lawn of the St. Andrew's regional library decked out in their period uniforms and armaments. They spoke with several dozen visitors about the 54th's role in the Civil War and in African- American history.
"What we're trying to do is to educate our white brothers and sisters on the history of the black soldiers," re-enactor James Brown said. "What they did enabled me to be here."
Just two days before the big battle, the 54th lost 14 men killed in a skirmish on Sol Legare Island, with 29 more soldiers wounded or missing. Then on July 18, 1863, at the Fort Wagner face-off, the 54th suffered even more casualties, including the death of their white commander, Col. Robert Gould Shaw, as confederate troops held strong and repulsed the attack. The unit's story is retold in the Hollywood movie "Glory."
Out of the attacks, however, came the nation's earliest awarding of a Congressional Medal of Honor to a black recipient. William H. Carney, the regiment's standard bearer, was shot many times but dragged himself to safety and still upheld the U.S. flag.
"I'm glad to be a descendant of those brave souls that fought for my freedom and are now allowing me to tell their story," Brown said.

Shonia, I think that I can offer a practical answer from the perspective of the mom with the baby. One of my close friends lost a baby around the same time as you. Not preeclampsia, an unsurvivable birth defect which meant that the whole time that we were actually having our daughter (born in July) they were going through the process of having the problem diagnosed etc. We work together and I had to bring my baby to work with me quite often during the fall. I was dying inside for somewhat the same reasons as you suggest. I was very afraid that she would think that I was rubbing my baby in her face etc. It has been a real struggle for both of us to speak openly, both then, when the issue was acute, and now, when some time has passed. We have come to a situation where I don't ask her if she wants to play with Chloe, but if she comes over and asks, then she gets first chance. I guess that everyone heals in their own way, and at their own pace. I know that I would never be offended and my feelings would not be hurt if she told me that she just didn't feel up to interacting, especially when everyone else clusters around cooing etc. I always perceive that as salt in the wound.

I am currently using the Beryl rail on my AK and I love it. It's tight and secure and stays in place. I have my optics mounted on it. Only problem comes in dismantling the thing for cleaning, then you have to remove the back screw and then optics and all flips forward.
Just my two cents worth.

On May 17, 2013, Community Pride of Charleston County awarded the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy and partners, Alhambra Garden Club and the Mount Pleasant Waterworks, the "Spirit of Cooperation" award to commend the partnership that created a community enriching project in the form of a butterfly garden. Just how does our garden grow? Read on to learn how the project began.
With the mission of preserving the places you live and love, the Mount Pleasant Land Conservancy, (MPLC), was delighted to secure a 57 acre conservation easement ( 6.5 acres of which is high ground) on land in the heart of Mount Pleasant. In February of 2010, MPLC, a 501c(3) non-profit land trust, set about to increase the public benefit of a portion of land adjacent to the Marsh View Trail that lies next to a pre-existing dog park and paved trail leading through the preserved wooded area and opening on to a beautiful marsh view. The MPLC elected to engage community involvement in designing and establishing a butterfly garden for this piece of land, thus encouraging butterfly survival and promoting environmental awareness in a therapeutic setting.
Recently, I checked in with author Mary Alice Monroe, and learned that the original inspiration for the garden stemmed from a request for Monroe to speak at the Mount Pleasant Waterworks about butterfly conservation. "I felt that, instead of just speaking about butterflies, why not plant a butterfly garden to actually demonstrate to the community how butterflies thrive?" Monroe said. Monroe shared the idea with former MPLC Director John Girault, and the project began to take shape.
On April 29, 2012, the MPLC proudly hosted a "Butterfly Fling" to officially open the final enhancement of the site for the enjoyment of all who visit the trail. Landscape architect Katy Wood of Katy Wood Design artfully chose hosts of indigenous plants and shrubs in hues of purple, white, pink and yellow to optimize the attraction of butterflies seeking nectar as well as host plants for laying eggs. "Guests of the event were encouraged to buy plants to take home and also to plant that day in the butterfly garden," added Monroe. "In this way, children could come back to the garden to visit and see their plant. This helps us create conservation stewards of tomorrow."
Incorporating an abundance of native perennials such as pink and yellow verbena and lantana, masses of lush buddleia (butterfly bush) and color related annuals and native honeysuckle, Wood and her partners and community volunteers have created a thriving ecosystem that wildly attracts butterflies and bees while beautifully enhancing this tract of land. The garden is maintained in part by the efforts of the Alhambra Garden Club and Girl Scout Troop 394.
As the new executive director for the MPL, Catherine Main invites you to explore this butterfly garden as she feels it embodies a wonderful example of what the MPLC strives to offer the community. With the combined efforts of community partners, volunteers and the MPLC, Main seeks to preserve and enhance our local environment one project at a time.
Garden partners for the Marsh View Trail Butterfly Garden include Katy Wood Landscape Design, local author and butterfly enthusiast Mary Alice Monroe, Mount Pleasant Waterworks, butterfly expert Linda Love (aka "Nana Butterfly"), Springfield Construction and Hughes Lumber for arbor construction, Whitesides Elementary School, Ryan Wilcox, Alhambra Garden Club, Friends of Jean Clute and SC Native Plant Society.)

Original Lamborghini Miura Turin Salon Chassis found
First-ever mid-engined supercar
Only one 1965 Turin Salon Lamborghini Miura chassis was ever made, and it was designed for the Turin Motor Show in 1965. A transverse mid-mounted V12-powered machine (Lambo's first), has not been seen publicly in over thirty years.
The story of the chassis, recently purchased by a group of collectors in Los Angeles, is a worldly tale. After touring the Italian company's Bolognese factory headquarters in 1977, Marios Kritikos, a Lamborghini dealer from Cyprus, spotted the chassis and knew he had to have it. Designed by Gian Paulo Dallara, the chassis was loaded on a trailer hitched to Kritikos' Range Rover a year later, and was driven out of town.
The first ever mid-engined supercar concept sat in Kritikos' collection, untouched since its debut in Turin. Once discovered by a collector in California, the sale of the machine was negotiated by two Miura specialists, and the vehicle went state-side. Found with the car were items like its original bill of sale, and a collection of photographs from both Lamborghini and Kritikos. Now it is being restored in San Diego at the Bobileff Motorcar Company, where it will be brought back to its original Turin-show condition.
The chassis will make a US debut next summer.
43 years after its Turin Show debut the one-and-only 1965 Turin Salon Lamborghini Miura chassis, designed by chassis genius Gian Paolo Dallara, and the raging bull company's first-ever transverse mid-mounted V12 engine (0293) has been acquired by Los Angeles based collectors.
The iconic show chassis had been stored for the past 30 years in Cyprus by that country's original Lamborghini concessionaire, Marios Kritikos. While visiting the Lamborghini factory in 1977, Mr. Kritikos took a fancy to the historic show unit. After successfully negotiating a future home for it, he arrived at the factory with his Range Rover and trailer, loaded it and drove away. That was in April of 1978. The original invoice for the chassis survives, together with unpublished period photographs of the chassis being built in 1965, on display at the December, 1965 Turin Salon, and at the Lamborghini factory in July, 1966. Mr. Kritikos documented his collection of the car on April 7th, 1978.
The 1965 Turin Salon Miura represents the very first mid-engined supercar theme for all marques, and is rightly considered to be the Holy Grail from which all road going supercars descend. Its re-emergence represents the most important Lamborghini discovery to date.
Thirty years later, in December of 2008 representing both parties and facilitating the transaction were Miura specialists Joe Sackey (Joe Sackey Classics: www.joesackey.com) and Gary Bobileff (Bobileff Motorcar Company: www.bobileff.com). Only one month after its discovery it has been imported to the US and now resides in the restoration facility of world-renowned Gary Bobileff, where it will undergo a complete refurbishment to bring it to its former show glory.
The last time the general public saw this automotive icon was 43 years ago on display at the Turin Salon. It will make its USA debut in the summer of 2009. Details to be announced.a

The other evening while at a dinner with friends, our hosts told us how they acquired their friendly golden lab, Bud.
Bud showed up at their house one day, carrying a bone in his mouth and about 20 ticks on his body. The family felt sorry for this poor dog.
After several days, they realized the dog wasn't leaving, so they took him to a vet to learn about his health and get him cleaned up.
Bud behaved well, but it was obvious he had not been treated well in the past.
He seemed shy about sleeping in the garage. When his family said goodnight, he looked at them as if to say, "Are you sure? You don't want me outside, rather than warm and dry in here?"
When Bud received a pillow on which to sleep, he looked at his family as if to say, "Are you sure? This is for me?" The family said, "It's for you! It's okay! Go ahead and sleep on it."
They placed a stuffed toy before him and Bud just looked at it. He seemed to not know what to do with it. Once again, he looked at his family as if to say, "Are you sure? This is for me? To keep? To play with?" The family said, "It's for you! It's okay! Go ahead and play with it. It's all yours!"
Now, he carries that toy everywhere.
Bud transformed. He received new life. Before he met this family, he had very little to call his own. He received a warm place to sleep, a bed, a toy, food and water.
More importantly, he received the love and care of those who welcomed him into their home. He did nothing to earn it.
We have been given the same kind of opportunity as Bud.
We have received the gift of new life in Jesus Christ. We might think we don't deserve it because of the way we have been treated in life.
But Jesus continuously reiterates we are worthy of his love.
We are worthy of new life.
We are worthy of the kindness and generosity that come only from him.
Jesus says, "It's for you."
And indeed it is.

eBay held talks with Yahoo and Microsoft about a partnership with Yahoo! and Microsoft to counter-attack Google. "The reality is we work closely with all these companies. We're always talking to them," a spokesman for eBay said to Times.
eBay doesn't like Google Base, an online classified advertising site, that could compete with eBay's core business and Google Talk, a minimalist VOIP client that has the potential to become a threat to Skype, the market leader in VOIP telephony, owned by eBay. But probably the biggest threat for eBay is GBuy, Google's Internet payment service, that will launch soon and will compete with PayPal. "For the last nine months, Google has recruited online retailers to test GBuy, according to one person briefed on the service. GBuy will feature an icon posted alongside the paid-search ads of merchants, which Google hopes will tempt consumers to click on the ads, says this person. GBuy will also let consumers store their credit-card information on Google." an article from wall Street Journal informed three months ago.
