How about "The Martian Test for Faith" i.e., if a Martian landed on Earth & their culture had no concept of a god let alone whether there is one, how would they view human religions?

Here's a few different title possibilities, depending on the approach you want:
"Would You Believe If...?" (You can flesh this out in a subtitle and probably should, given the specific nature of the book)
"Does Your Faith Pass the Outsider Test?"
"Why Billions Don't Believe In Your God"
A few to think about anyways. Thanks for your work, John.

Yeah, I'm thinking of illustrating it with aliens, with judges who recuse themselves in court cases and even John Rawls's veil of ignorance.
If someone wants to be objective and fair with their own culturally inherited faith then there is no better way. Hey, after all, that's how every other religious person treats the faiths of those they reject.

That sounds like a great idea! Of course I would buy it but you've already sold me.
All the objections I have seen to the OTF have amounted to conflating looking at one's own religious beliefs outside of its' cultural context with the error of evaluating another's beliefs in that way.
The problem with the latter, of course, is that it may lead to grotesque misunderstanding of certain doctrines, et..al. For instance, Buddhism strikes many as nearly incomprehensible because to understand it requires a cultural understanding of the East and of certain concepts unknown in the west.
My point being, it should actually be easier to evaluate one's own beliefs using the OTF than it is to evaluate the beliefs of others.

"Judge your own religion like you judge others" (subtitle could be: Why Christianity does not pass the Outsider Test)
I think that would be memorable; most people know about the golden rule, and agree with it, at least in principle.

John, how about something like, "Why Christians don't Believe in Zeus: The Outsider Test for Faith"?
- June 21, 2010 at 9:29 PM
- Eric said...
Actually, maybe "Why Christians don't believe in Zeus: An Introduction to the Outsider Test for Faith" is better.

Or maybe,
Why Christians Don't Believe in Zeus (and Shouldn't Believe in God): An Introduction to the Outsider Test for Faith

I gave Christianity the OTF before I read the term here. Of course, it failed.
I think it should be a title that would encourage religious people to read it.

if I keep going, I'll have the text of the whole book in the title alone... ;)

"Weak at the Knees: How Christianity Fails the Outsider Test"
Sort of a double meaning here. I know how John likes the phrase, "on your mama's knees" as in the religion we all learn on our mamas' knees.

Fernando, I like your ideas. Because of the general acceptance of the golden rule, I think it would make a marvelous stepping stone. I mean, what kind of person would be unwilling to exercise the golden rule, right? {wink}
So how about this, John. "Religion's Golden Rule: Judging Your Own Religion as You Judge Another's". The back of the book jacket could ask, "Could your religion pass an outsider test?" (Bait potential readers via the humility of a question.) Include a quote from someone who references the Outsider Test for Faith by name.
Glad you're writing this.

John, what is your motive in doing this? Is it a positive or negative motive? Destroy Christianity? Save people from Christianity? Just curious about what is in your heart?

Joe, one way to take the OTF is to take the DC Challenge. Come on now, what do you have to lose?
- June 22, 2010 at 10:14 AM
- John C-W said...
I'm not longer a christian, but I don't want to destroy it or rip it away from others. Many of my good friends [and my wife] are still Christians.
I do hope that those who are ready, would consider the OTF. If they take it seriously, they will become atheist/agnostic or they will become very liberal Christians [borg/spong/crossan].
I suppose some will "pass" the test and "strengthen" their faith. Even these will have begun to think about it in a different way.
I'm not sure if i have pure motives....it's probably a mixture. I do know I would like to recommend this book to all of my religious friends and I know the ones who need it most won't touch it if the title is aggressive.

Hey John, Have you thought about writing a book discussing the atonement doctrine.
- June 22, 2010 at 10:44 AM
- Toby said...
I think you may be asking the wrong question. If you examine anyone, you will find both good and bad. Those who are more similar to you, you will recognize their good more readily. While John's motivations do matter, his motivations should be considered separately from the truth or goodness or his words or deeds. For example, if a bad person does a good thing, does it change the fundamental nature of that good thing? No, it is a good thing still, just as John's outsider test of faith should be judged on the merits of the test, not his motivation.
I think you should take the Outsider Test of Faith and tell us all about. However, it is a lot of work and may not interest you. Let us know!

Maybe somebody could create a new party game an name it

It could sort of be remodled around this game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_(game)
And folks could all simply try and see if maybe they can twist and contort themselves enough, to fit into all different types of faiths.

John, you know, it's not your outsider's perspective that makes your work worth taking seriously, more seriously than so many of thetheologically and philosophically inept new atheists.
It's that you had a well informed insider's perspective (granted well informed from one set of an evangelical way of doing things).

If I were Christian, this 'test' failure would not bother me. Here's why: I would simply claim that God was something we are incapable of comprehending. So we make models of God in our religions and each of us gets something right and somethings wrong. But since no human can fully comprehend and get it right, we may as well just worship and pray via one that is acceptable to us. And liking the culture may be a reasonalbe means of chosing which 'wrong' version to use in order to do the praying and worshipping.
Let's talk about house cleaning for a minute to understand this concept in a different context. We have vacuums that have bags that you take out and throw away with your dust and that is wasteful and sends it all to the landfill and we have vacuum cleanera that have no bags and just put it into a bin, you can dump it into your compost bin or a garbage can but it is messy and you run the risk of dumping it accidentally onto your floor when you go to empty it. So there is no perfect weay to remove dust but we choose one that is good enough. Using an imperfect way is better than letting it build up.
Or let's talk learning chemistry. We had that old model of the rings of electrons and we said that each layer 'wanted' to have a certain number and that is why bonds happened because one electron complemented the gaps in the other or something like that and it isn't exactly how things really are but we can't really comprehend how they really work, so it is a workable useful model to help us understand more than we did before, even if we understand it a bit 'wrong'.
So given there is a God and we want to worship him/her out of thankfulness and that we believe hs/she might have some power to direct the universe, we want to meditatively mindfully ask for things, i.e. pray, then any number of versions of that is acceptable, so we go with the one we grew up with or one where we like the people or the architecture or the music. If I beleived in God, it would be okay with me that my version of worship and prayer was no more perfect than all the others.
So I think the issue of whether the God cocnept is viable and self-contradictory is more the issue than OTF.

The event that started me on my loss of Catholic faith was an exercise similar to the Outsider Test of Faith. In a small group at a church camp in high school, my group had to explain the entire Catholic mass to the instructor who was posing as an alien from another planet. This "alien" was to have just arrived to Earth, and was curious about what this service was all about. Needless to say, having to explain it this way made me realize that so much didn't make sense, at least for a good reason. The kicker was explaining that I though the bread and wine was actually being turned into blood and flesh. I cannot wait for this book now!

Why are you guys being so pompus toward me about my request? All I asked for, in what I thought was a respectful request, was John, what is your motive for doing this? What is your internal drive? What's is it that you are trying to accomplish? What motivates you? Is it a desire to destroy Christianity? To save people from there stupidity, or mental disorder? Are you on a mission? What ever you want to call it. I'm not asking if it's right or wrong to be a Christian or an atheist. It's a person question.
Also, I did take the OTF over a year ago. John forgot. I interacted with him a few times about it. This is a sincere and respectful request.

Joe Staub, my motivations are varied just like everyone else.
But to see what they are, follow this link and read the posts under the heading, "What Motivates Us to Debunk Christianity?"
- June 22, 2010 at 7:45 PM
- Toby said...
Your comment, "Why are you guys being so pompus with me?" brought a smile and a chuckle. I have absolutely no idea what comment made you feel the way you do. I actually thought your question prompted some nice discussion! But then again, I'm a pompous ass!
- June 22, 2010 at 8:51 PM
- Joe Staub said...
Thanks John. I didn't know you had such a post on motives. I do appreciate this, because motives do matter to me. Why people do what they do is intriguing and facinating! Obviously, an intelligent man like yourself could be doing any number of influential things with your life, so there are motives that compel you to do this particular thing.

I think it would be best to call it "The Outsider Test For Faith". I think that is the most descriptive, and I think that because you are popularizing this test I think it would be good to call it that. It really is descriptive and it'd be an excellent name for a book.

I really like the idea of having to explain your faith to someone who would be totally unfamilair with it. It does help you see how absurd some of the stuff is.
I remember thinking this very thing when I was considering inviting my neighbor to come to a small group meeting at church. I thought she would like the people cause they were very nice and friendly, but I thought she would find silly some of the things we seemed to truly believe. She is well-educated and level-headed.
Anyway, I really like that exercise you mentioned and wish we could get lots of Christians to perform it. It could open their eyes. They would have no familiarity with all our little phrases and what they mean. We'd have to explain in detail. The silliness or unliklihood would show forth.
I think those from other faiths could also get somewhat embarrassed if they had to explain the beliefs in their own faith to an outsider.
So I guess John is wanting the Christian to ask the questions of Christianity, where maybe he should have them instead write out their faith to present to a class of foreigners. Wait, I guess many Christians do this when they are witnessing. That act must get some of them thinking?

I find the dissent Rob offers via Common Sense Atheism that the New Atheists philosophical and theological chops are inept to be a weak contention.
Most believers do not depend on sophisticated theological or philosophical arguments to assert their oppositions to science (e.g. Intelligent Design advocates and evolution deniers) or civil rights (e.g. gay rights opponents). The work of the New Atheists simply offer more intelligent means of decision making contra-religion and they are working in the long tradition of cultural intellectual practice NOT theology or philosophy.
Alvin Plantinga and William Lane Craig (and their fan boys like Rob R) can be secure that their arguments for Christianity are solid within the academy of theology and philosophy relative to the work of the New Atheists but, I'd guess that most practicing Christians don't know what their arguments or who the men are.
Recent polling data indicates an uptick in declared atheism and I would venture it strongly correlates to public intellectuals like Harris, Hitchens, Stenger, Loftus, Dennett, and Dawkins speaking intelligently in a publicly digestable way.
Rob R, you yourself have admitted an evolved Christianity based on some of the same contentions these men argue which, you also admit, is considered unorthodox to some of your fellow church goers.
I'd say your intellectual curiosity and willingness to mutate your theology (open theism) in line with current ethics and morality is similar to the call for a way of knowing that does not elevate the bible as our best repository of knowledge (a central claim of many of the new atheists).

Maybe you could work this into a subtitle:
"Who TOLD you the grass wasn't greener on the other side? A refutation of anyone's claim that their's is the one true religion."
Also, John, could you manage to write this new book at a high school level instead of college level? It think it would reach more people.
Thanks for all that you do.

R&G Racing Aero Frame Sliders Aprilia RSV4 / R / Factory / APRC / Tuono V4 R / APRC / RF / RR
Improving on R&G's highly successful and popular round frame sliders, the RG Racing Aero Frame Sliders feature an aerodynamic teardrop shape for a more sleek and streamlined appearance. In a market flooded with the same cylindrical frame slider design, the RG Racing Aero Frame Sliders reinvented the wheel.
Constructed of heavy-duty machined steel, aluminum and high-density nylon, RG Racing Aero frame sliders provide maximum protection and the highest-quality fit and finish.
The slider itself is machined from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE was chosen for its high-friction qualities, as the slider wears down it actually helps to slow a sliding bike. The bolts are made of de-embrittled steel which work as shock absorbers, they bend instead of snapping, helping to reduce the chance of damaging the mounting points and thus damaging your motorcycle.
Sold as a pair.

By Megan Fleet
Let's be honest, the latest hero device from the Nokia cell phone line-up, the Lumia 900 wowed spectators at the CES. From the keynote Microsoft address that showed an impressed audience the fruits of its partnership with Nokia and how the device works with Microsoft peripheral devices like the Xbox. The stellar performance of the Nokia Lumia 900 was duly recognized by CNET which named the smartphone as its category winner at the 2012 CES.
The move from Symbian to Windows mobile OS and the added bonus of BlueStack's technology which will bring Android apps to those customers has sparked excitement and hope into both Nokia and Microsoft that 2012 will bring a 180 degree shift in sales and market share.
What is better news is that the vague announcement that the Nokia Lumia 900 will be available in "the next few months" may be whittled down to a more accurate date if the rumor mill is based in any kind of truth. Even more reliable is that the March 18th date is being bandied about by Windows gurus Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley. These two "all about Windows" people came together to work on TWiT and discuss March as the release month in the latest Nokia developer newsletter.
Mister Thurrott is apparently not one for vagueness by making it clear that the Nokia Lumia 900 will be released precisely on March 18th. Hopefully his crystal ball or tea leaves are accurate as anxious customers are bound to seek out this sleek unlocked cell phone as soon as possible.
Surely the smartphone manufacturer will make more accurate announcements that will include date of availability, the cost, and start touting more of the peripheral accessories that will heighten the handset's popularity and longevity in a fickle, competitive and ever changing mobile tech market.

No Sew Cloth Napkin Pillow CoversMonday, March 14th, 2011
I popped into World Market over the weekend because I heard they were having a rug sale. I was desperate for a new area rug, and when I say desperate I mean desperate with a capital D. I've had the same cream Berberish carpet rug in my family room for two years, and with kids n' pets n' friends' n' snacks n' all that loveliness, the carpet was looking very 'Eww'.
World Market was having a sale on 6' x 9' rugs and 6' x 9' is the magic size in my house. 6' x 9' fits in the family room, the dining room, and the living room too, but hot dang if it isn't hard to find an affordable stylish 6' x 9' rug. They're always 5' x 8' (too small) or 8' x 10' (too big). Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
After I scored my new rug on clearance, I couldn't help but notice World Market had some pretty snazzy fabric napkins in their linens department, 2 for $6 dollars, nice!
I always think pillows when I see sassy stylish cloth napkins like this, because that's one inexpensive pillow cover if you're willing to take the time to sew them together. But I've already done that.
Then I remembered there's a lot of you out there that don't own a sewing machine or don't sew, and I reckoned I could show y'all how to do it without Mr. Singer.
Simple No Sew Removable Pillow Covers made from Cloth Napkins:
What You'll Need: Two cloth napkins measuring 20" x 20"; fusible web (found at any fabric store); moist washcloth; scissors; iron.

BUFFALO, NY - In the wake of a carbon monoxide leak, which sickened seven students at the University at Buffalo on February 17, a NYS State Assemblyman is seeking to make sure those who live in public housing projects are protected.
"After the incident at UB, I have received some complaints that the Marine Drive Apartment and other facilities run by the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) are not in compliance with state laws," said Michael Kearns (D-142nd District).
Under Amanda's Law, named after Amanda Hansen of West Seneca who died of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, requirements for CO detectors in the state were strengthened.
The voluminous law is, Kearns admits, difficult to wade through, and interpretations of it can be ambiguous. But he is convinced it calls for CO detectors in each of the units at Marine Drive, a collection of 1950's era 12-story buildings on Buffalo's waterfront.
"I'm almost 99.9% positive," Kearns told WGRZ-TV. "It's a multiple dwelling over two stories tall...I called the City of Buffalo's fire prevention bureau and I spoke with their representative who said, yes , all public housing should be in compliance with the law."
Kearns, a member of the Assembly Housing Committee, said he would like to meet with the BMHA to address his concerns.
"I've reached out to BMHA Executive Director Dawn Sanders, and I drafted a letter requesting that an audit be done of all BMHA buildings to make sure they're in compliance with the uniform code," said Kearns, while noting that 12,000 residents of New York State's second largest city live in public housing.
Sanders did not return a phone call to her office placed by Two On Your Side seeking comment.
Joe Mascia, a tenant-elected Commissioner of the BMHA, confirmed that none of the units in Marine Drive are equipped with CO detectors unless the tenants have installed them on their own.
"We (Commissioners) set policy and we approve contracts but the day to day operation is done by the director and staff," Mascia told Channel 2 News. "I feel very confident that once the Executive Director finds out what the issue is she will take care of it," he said.
Mascia, who also lives at Marine Drive, applauded Kearns' effort.
Marie Dawson, whose windows are near the chimney, which vents her building's boiler, says sometimes in the summer, when traffic is heavy near Marine Drive, exhaust fumes from cars travel into the apartments.
"I remember when two babies ended up in the hospital. Their parents didn't know what the heck was going on...but when their babies got sick, they took them to the hospital and found out later it was from breathing carbon monoxide," said Dawson, who believes the BMHA should supply tenants with CO detectors.
"It's not that much money. They should stop spending on all their overtime and salaries and spend it on the tenants," she said.
"Every one of these apartments should have one of these detectors...I'm going to make sure that this happens," Kearns said.

Sharing Memories (Week 46): Ooey Gooey Squishy White Margarine!
If you are just joining us, please take a peek at over 150 earlier prompts by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of Olive Tree Genealogy blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for ideas.
We're one day late with Sharing Memories this week. Yesterday being Remembrance/Veteran's Day, I wanted to honour the heroes in my family who have served their countries.
Today a change of pace - and I'm going to tell you about margarine! Yes. Who remembers the clear plastic bags of white margarine with the circle of yellow dye in the middle? The bags were similar to our one liter milk bags.
To get a nice yellow margarine you broke the circular seal with your thumb and then started squeezing and kneading that bag. It took forever to spread the yellow dye throughout! I used to help my mom by doing it but my hands would get very tired.
Once my brother-in-law and I were goofing around, taking turns squeezing the dye through. Well, we began tossing the bag to each other and of course we had to outdo every throw with a much better one! We tossed under our legs, turned backwards, long throw, short toss, high, low - we were having a great time.
My mom wasn't impressed and warned us we better not drop that bag. Of course we did - and SPLAT -the entire bag fell on the floor, broke open and margarine oozed out. We stood there quite horrified waiting for my mother's wrath. But all she did was tsk and shake her head, then she took a big spoon and scooped up every bit of margarine except what had touched the floor.
And that is what we ate for the next few weeks.
Anyone else remember margarine like that?
11 comments:
- The Grandmother Here said...
I remember that kind of margarine. I still prefer real butter.
- Mariann Regan said...
Oh, Lord, I remember the icky white margarine, where you had to mix in the yellow, proving once more that it wasn't really yellow and buttery but yukky and white.
Also they told us in those days that margarine was good for us, better than butter. And then margarine turned out to be trans fats! Did not help our hearts one little bit. So now we all eat butter instead. There's always another medical discovery lurking just around the corner . . .
- Arline said...
I remember being the one that had to keep squishing the white stuff, inside the bag, after you poped the red button inside the bag to make it turn yellow to look like butter.
- Patti said...
I don't ever remember that kind of margarine. I grew up in the 60's and 70's, and if it was still around then, it wasn't something my mom ever bought. It does sound like fun, though!
- Kristin said...
I don't remember that kind of margarine. I guess we used butter until margarine was already mixed and in sticks when you bought it. I was born in 1946.
I remember "needing" those bags of "socalled butter"
couldn't have been good stuff health wise - but must be we were all active enough to use up the calories and what ever else was in it, to have survived .
- Carol said...
I forget how old I was, maybe about 7 or 8 and it was my job to mix that stuff. Proud to do it too! :-)
- Elizabeth said...
I remember squishing the tab to make the butter/margarine yellow, at my grandmother's home. I thought it was butter being mixed up though, I was only about 5 years old at the time so maybe I just assumed it was butter that I was mixing the color into. I never did it at home thogh, so I don't know what we used
I have a distinct memory of squeezing the yellow and the margarine in the plastic bag, it seems like I was four or so. My mother insisted that that was impossible because they only did that during WW II. I was born in 1945. So I've recently been reading up on false memories and have been thinking that's what that memory was. But it seemed so real. I have been searching on the Iternet and discovered that Truman signed a law repealing the requirement that magarine had to be sold white. Unfortunately all my family of that generation are gone now. Does anyone know when they started selling yellow margarine in Connecticut?
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
I was squeezing margarine after my sister was married (it was with her husband that we had the disaster) and after my dad died - and he died in 1960!
So don't be sure your memory is wrong.
- Vera Marie Badertscher said...
Anyone who wants more details of the Margarine Wars (the reasons it was sold white and the dates) might want to take a look at my latest post at Ancestors in Aprons. If you allow links, that is http://ancestorsinaprons.com/2014/01/oleomargarine-vs-butter-food-fight/

By RICHARD SHAWSports editor
People can talk about rivalries all they want. They can talk about Michigan-Ohio State or Oklahoma-Texas. They can talk about UCLA-Southern Cal or BYU-Utah.
But nothing takes the place of a down home, living close to each other rivalry like the Carbon-Emery games provide.
And while there are literally thousands of high school rivalries in this country, the one here in Castle Valley takes a back seat to none of them. And it doesn't matter the sport or if it is girls or boys, it is still heated and tough.
On Tuesday night that rivalry was relit once again as the Lady Dinos took on the girls from Emery at the Spartan Center and disassembled their offense on the way to a 73-46 victory.
In the first period the teams went almost basket for basket. As usual the two oldest Warburton sisters were prime movers in the offense as well as the defense, but Emery was able to control the explosiveness the Lady Dino team has shown so often this season.
However the second period was different as the Carbon defense began to work it's magic and the ballgame slipped away from the Castle Dale squad. Carbon only increased it's scoring by three in the quarter from the first period, but they shut down most of Emery's scoring opportunities holding the Lady Spartans to only 10 points in the period.
But it was after the half when the Lady Dinos went nuts. Their defense kept the Lady Spartans at pre-half levels of scoring while they started to shoot the lights out of the place.
In the third period the Lady Dinos scored 19 points and then increased that output to 21 in the fourth period behind some great outside shooting and tough inside play. The three sisters, Chelsey, Cassie and Morgan Warburton rained down three pointers on the Lady Spartans putting in a total of six. It was a good showing for Carbon and another notch on their way to the state playoffs that begin in February.
Emery was only able to manage 21 points the same as Carbon's fourth quarter output.
The Spartans were led by Jennifer Nielsen's 18 points, while Cheryl Grant scored 14.
The Lady Dinos had two high scorers in Chelsey Warburton who put through 19 and Cassie put in 16. But the rest of the starters all contributed a great deal too.
With that Carbon moves to a 2-0 record in Region 8 and a 12-2 overall record.
Emery has lost both it's region contests and have a 5-8 record.
Carbon will now face North Sanpete on Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the Dinogym.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
This 1954 Disney version of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea represented the studio's costliest and most elaborate American-filmed effort to date. Kirk Douglas plays a trouble-shooting 19th century seaman, trying to discover why so many whaling ships have been disappearing of late. Teaming with scientist Paul Lukas and diver Peter Lorre, Douglas sets sail to investigate--and is promptly captured by the megalomaniac Captain Nemo (James Mason), who skippers a lavish, scientifically advanced submarine. The film's special effects, including a giant squid, were impressive enough in 1954 to win an Academy Award.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Cast: Peter Lorre, Paul Lukas, James Mason, Kirk Douglas
Produced by: Walt Disney
Directed by: Richard Fleischer

Plenty of invites and so many bottles of wine are endlessly toted to party after party. It's time to be more thoughtful with your choices of gifts you bring to the hostess. As the style contributor for Marie Osmond's show, I shared a variety of choices that satisfy everything from a host with a sweet tooth to a green thumb.
Let the host have a reprieve from the kitchen. Bring the hors d'oeuvres so friends and family can have a chance to socialize before sitting down to the main meal. Or if it's a causal gathering watching football or playing board games, this mix of savory and sweet options from Hickory Farms satisfies everyone's snacking needs.
HickoryFarms.com $25-65
The host has enough to deal with after the party cleaning up so make the next morning easy by filling a basket with gourmet goodies to take care of breakfast. If you're spending the night, be sure to get up and make the host breakfast as an extra bonus.
Gourmet goodies and basket all from HomeGoods, $30
Sure you could bring wine, but if your host is a dog lover, why not bring treats for their animals. Make sure it's a healthy treat and add a dog toy or canister to hold the treats.
Dog treats from Wellpet.com
Does your friend have a green thumb? Everything he or she touches just grows with abundance? Or perhaps a friend who would like to do some planting? Give them a garden they can grow inside or enjoy when the weather turns warmer.
Herb garden, butterfly habitat and bonsai trees from Overstock.com
Sweet tooth? Skip baking and bring the host some our her favorite candy and instead of wrapping it up put it into lacquer boxes that she can place on a coffee table or once empty use for jewelry. Going to home with kids then bring along Nestle holiday boxes with candy inside and trivia to keep them occupied.
Nestle holiday candy and lacquer boxes from Home Goods
The host has enough to take care of without taking out the camera and snapping lots of photos. Take the pressure off him or her and offer to take all the photos and instantly share with all the guests using the new free app from Familiar.
Free photo app from Familiar.com
Share one of your favorite recipes with the host and wrap it up in a new apron or pot holder, napkins and wooden spoon. I'm a fan of sharing a carrot soufflé recipe that I make every holiday.
Apron, napkins, pot holders from HenHouseLinens.com
Carrot Soufflé recipe
A delicious side dish, dessert or breakfast!
1-lb. cooked carrots
(I use a 1-lb. bag of baby carrots)
3 eggs beaten
½ cup sugar
½ cup melted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
Cook carrots and mash them.
Put mashed carrots into a blender and add milk. Blend.
Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl. Then add mixed ingredients into blender. Blend again.
Pour into a butter greased round soufflé/casserole dish or small ramekins for individual servings.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour at 350°.
It will rise like a soufflé and get slightly brown on top.

BATAVIA, N.Y. -- The "yogurt boom" is going strong in Batavia these days with a couple of dairy companies there continuing to expand.
Tuesday the folks at Alpina were installing two new 20,000 gallon silos tripling the amount of milk that the facility is able to store. In the long run, that means faster and cheaper production to help Alpina compete better.
"I was hoping to be able to expand this quickly, that was always our desire. The volume that we have is allowing us to expand quicker than what was anticipated. We hoped for it and planned for it as the need arose. Fortunately, the need arose so we were able to execute," said Roger Parkhurst with Alpina USA.
Alpina had the silos made by Feldmeier Equipment in Little Falls which it says is part of the commitment to support Western New York businesses with the Batavia facility.

Bruce Stickler of Elmira was ready to catch just about anything while fishing with a floating jig/worm combo in 22 feet of water in the St. Lawrence River near the Windjammer Lodge on Friday.
But he was still very pleasantly surprised when he encountered this 37 muskie. The huge fish was released after a quick photo and measurement. (Submitted Photo)

The almost 100-year-old school memorabilia company is fusing the venerable school yearbook with a cutting-edge mobile experience. Some schools already have started placing Tags next to photos of events like pep rallies, which then play a video of the event on the reader's phone. Down the road, schools can use Tags to link a student's yearbook picture to his or her profile on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Classmates.com.
Herff Jones is working with students and editors to pioneer one of the first yearbook implementations of Tag. Throughout the school year, representatives from the company meet with students and yearbook staff at journalism conventions, teaching them how to structure the annual publication so it will be educational, award-winning -- and now, mobile-ready. Herff Jones chose Tag over other barcode technologies because of its ability to be visually tailored, complementing the overall yearbook design.
"Tags are...designed well," said Matt Leighton, Lead Product Development Specialist at Herff Jones. Other QR solutions were "too barcode-looking, [but] Tags had a better visual feel," he said, adding that Tag "allows you to customize more than QR."
Herff Jones also incorporates five to six Tags in their direct mail catalogs, which have a circulation of about 15,000. The Tags link to photos, videos, and downloads like PDFs and white papers, simultaneously engaging customers and saving the company money on printing. The company plans to create an even more Tag-rich environment by increasing the number of Tags in each issue.

DENVER — Monday, April 9, 2012 — Gov. John Hickenlooper and Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia today welcomed the U.S. Department of Education's announcement that Colorado is among five finalist states invited to apply for $133 million from the 2012 Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge fund. Colorado will be eligible for up to $30 million in a non-competitive application process.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, eligibility for 2012 Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge funding was based on the strength of applications among States that participated but did not receive awards in the 2011 competition. New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, Illinois and Wisconsin each earned approximately 75% or more of total points possible on a 300-point scale in the 2011 competition.
"We will apply for these funds because we are committed to providing the very best possible foundation for Colorado's children," said Hickenlooper. "Colorado is a leader in early education, with the goal of ensuring that every child is ready to learn."
"People from every corner of the state expressed support for expanding quality early childhood programs to help ensure that children start kindergarten ready to fully engage in learning," said Garcia. "This administration has placed a high priority on supporting parents and families to make sure that all children are valued, healthy and thriving. Securing these additional federal funds will bolster Colorado's work that is already well underway to enhance quality early childhood services."
In 2011, 35 States, D.C. and Puerto Rico applied to Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge, creating plans that increase access to high-quality programs for children from low-income families, and provide more children from birth to age 5 with a strong foundation needed to succeed in school and beyond. In December 2011, nine States were awarded grants-California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Washington.
The $133 million for additional Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge State grants will come from a larger $550 million fund provided by Congress through the Department of Education's fiscal year 2012 budget. Additional dollars from the 2012 appropriation will be used to run a new district-level Race to the Top competition. More details on the new competition will be available later this spring.
Colorado's previous proposal submitted in 2011 included strategies to:
These strategies are key components to the state's broader vision outlined in Colorado Reads: The Early Literacy Initiative.
"Colorado is drawing closer to the day when every child will be able to read proficiently by third grade," added Garcia.
The U.S. Department of Education will publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register in the near future with the full details of this proposal.

Excuse me? Could you try to make that a little clearer, please?
See the Frequently Asked Questions thread in the START HERE forum for our policy on Heaven.
Moderator: All Things Mods
FROM THE FAQ wrote:A: If you're a true believer in whatever faith you're a part of, and you've done what's expected of you, then that's the Afterlife you get. FSM has no territorial disputes with anybody else. If you're not going there, we'll take you, and it may not be fun, but it beats the hell (haha! hell!) outta Lakes of Fire.
There will be a kind of HellLight, where unbelievers have to live with school cafeteria spaghetti, second rate beer, and boring jobs in the service industries where the Heavenbound FSMists will be living. There will be no privation, no physical torture, no burning or boiling in various liquids. These aren't bad people, these are people that followed the culture and customs of their times and did not recognize the difference between a culture and a faith. And this HellLight will include a just and equitable redemption process.
Actual FSM Hell is reserved for a very few, and those will be divided from the Pasta, the finest beverages and the fellowship of persons of good will and kind intent. They will do all the laundry, cleaning and heavy or unpleasant jobs that are there. Never will they eat of the Pasta of any kind, but will live on lots of beans and rice, potatoes and extremely cheap cuts of meat, and the type of diet that the American urban poor can afford, or that Senior Citizens and disabled persons on Social Security are reduced to. They get the really icky dirty work. They deserve it. The bullies of the geopolitical world will be there, and their helpers. The false religious leaders, who plead for funds through electronic media, and give nothing of their true selves, and hoard the money and live in opulence, they will be there. Many others of ill-intent will be with them.
There is a reservation there for the tricksters, the con-men,the corrupt, unrepentant politicians, who will begin every work day by licking clean the footwear of every Native American person there, even in HellLight. Also there will be the promulgators of the horrible practices against the indigenous people of every country ever "modernized" by Western Civilization. They lick boots as well. And when they're through they get to do all the stuff that nobody in the Hell above them want to do.
Not a real burning-in type hell, no boiling lakes of fire, just an appropriate "reward." No more lunatics and sadists, please.
Other people have other ideas, but then again other people are promoting Holy War, too. Don't do that in the name of our FSM. That's not the Way to Do Things Right.

Generally speaking, we try to present balanced coverage on WhoWhatWear.com. By that, we don't mean that we give all celebrities and designers equal exposure-clearly, there's a point of view at work here-but we do strive for a certain accessibility in our stories. Typically there's equilibrium: for every impossible-to-wear piece we mention, we'll find a more forgiving one, and for every madly expensive item, we'll suggest an affordable substitute. But twice a year we chuck all that fairness and just go for full-throttle fantasy. Today, dear readers, that biannual moment has arrived again, and we're overjoyed to present our seasonal style preview! We hope you enjoy our edit of some of the boldest and best runway looks in Look Forward To: Fall Fashion Trends!Platform Pumps
Though we definitely love the brazen statement of the thigh-high boot (more on that in a moment), we're also crazy about the new wave of platform pumps. Some of our favorites thus far include Yves Saint Laurent's Imperiale Pumps ($795), as seen on the runway above, and Nicholas Kirkwood's Python Web Suede Sandals ($1800). Hopefully this isn't wishful thinking, but we have a feeling there will be some amazing high-street versions of these pronounced platforms shortly!

Razzle-Dazzle Legs
Tights are always a major component in our autumnal outfits, but this season we're going to take our opaques to the next level and try an embellished, textured, ornate pair. Look to Cynthia Rowley for some of the season's best examples; we're obsessed with her Embellished Tights ($250), which will be available on her site the first week of September. All in all, it's the perfect way to upgrade some of your more basic pieces for a relatively minimal investment.
Images from left: Emanuel Ungaro, Cynthia Rowley, Miu Miu
Chunky Chokers
Cascading chains captivated us last year, but this time around the statement necklace has gotten shorter and turned into the chunky choker. Whether said piece involves metal rings, bold beads, or sparkly rhinestones, this is definitely a trend to start wearing now.
Images clockwise from left: Louis Vuitton, Bottega Venetta, Giorgio Armani
Lingerie Display
The neckline of the moment isn't for the faint, as it plunges nearly to the waist and turns the spotlight on your lingerie! That said, we loved the unabashedly revealing look of a peek-a-boo lace bandeau at Balenciaga and the simple neutral triangle bras at Miu Miu. Note to self: start stocking up on those beautiful bralettes and bandeaus now...
Images from left: Stella McCartney, Miu Miu, Balenciaga
Winter Shorts
While we've waffled about the whole tights-with-shorts combo, it's indisputably a full-blown trend these days. The good news is this key piece comes in an assortment of fabrics-from wool to leather to lamé-so finding the right pair shouldn't be hard. Daring readers will flip for the Leather Hot Pants ($650) at 3.1 Phillip Lim, which looked amazing over burgundy opaque tights, while more conservative dressers might like Proenza Schouler's salt-and-pepper Tailored Wool Suiting Shorts ($780).
Images from left: Proenza Schouler, Emporio Armani, 3.1 Phillip Lim
Sculpted Shoulders
The power shoulder continues to dominate this season, which is no surprise really, especially considering how influential the eighties are right now! Early proponents of this look (Givenchy, Balmain) are still endorsing the silhouette, though fall's look is more refined than previous iterations. This time around, try jackets and dresses that have a subtler sculpted shoulder-it's a more wearable look anyways!
Images clockwise from upper left: Givenchy, Balmain, Jonathan Saunders
Slouchy Overcoats
There were gorgeous jackets galore on the fall runways, but when the weather starts to cool down, there's only one piece you're going to want: the slouchy overcoat. This oversized item is a must-buy investment piece with a bit of a menswear-meets-dressing-gown attitude (so very Lloyd Dobler). If that doesn't make sense, just look to the unstructured styles from Chloe and Louis Vuitton to get the right vibe.
Images clockwise from upper left: Chloe, MaxMara, Burberry Prorsum
Thigh-High Boots
In addition to the more ladylike platform pump, the thigh-high boot is still going strong for fall. The shape can be either super skinny (à la Rodarte and Isabel Marant) or relaxed and easy (per Etro and Dries Van Noten); obviously the latter is a little more forgiving. There are lots of covetable designer pairs in stores already, like Brian Atwood's Suede Thigh-Highs ($1235) or Costume National's Over-The-Knee Boots ($1455), so if you're going to invest, you probably should take the plunge soon.
Images from left: Rodarte, Pucci, Louis Vuitton
Long-Sleeve Mini Dress
If you're going to buy one dress this season, make it a mini with long sleeves. Whether it's sequin-emblazoned, detailed with zippers and studs, or simply asymmetrical, this style is having a major moment right now. Alexander Wang's fall collection contains a number of excellent examples, like the Slim Grommet Dress ($550) and Long Sleeve Goddess Dress ($590), that are sure to be a big hit with the downtown crowd.
Images from left: Gucci, Charlotte Ronson, Phi
Metallic Mix-Ups
The fall runways were stuffed with lamé looks and outfits made from metallic materials (it's a serious shine-fest out there). While we're not shying away from the glitz, it's best to mix these theatrical fabrics with more sober matte pieces. We'll look to the styling at shows like Isabel Marant and Dries Van Noten for guidance on how to incorporate these shimmery pieces in a wearable way.

TOWN OF NEWSTEAD - Officials in the Town of Newstead and Village of Akron are combing through a scathing report from the state comptroller's office, concerning a local highway facility.
Thursday night, we told you about a review that says town officials misused taxpayer funds to build the project.
Now our local officials are responding.
The audit was done on a huge highway garage that public works employees use. The person responsible for keeping track of how money was spent for construction was Newstead supervisor David Cummings. He says that government officials in Newstead and Akron are reviewing recommendations from the state on how to be more transparent and honest about future projects.
He sent this statement to Two On Your Side: "The Town of Newstead has received the audit Report from the NYS Comptroller's office. It has several points that we need to review and address. As per the Comptroller's office we have 90 days to reply. We will be replying to the recommendations from the Comptroller's office after reviewing them and potential discussions with our project management company, general contractor and legal counsel. At this time it is too early to comment on further. Our reply will be public record when it is given."
The state says that local officials jacked up the total cost of a Joint Highway Facility. Both the town and the village have been sharing it for about a year. Investigators say that local officials allowed the cost of the garage to rise a half a million dollars over budget. A big part of that according to the state, were add on costs.
"Our auditors found about $450,000 in those change orders were unrelated to the original project and weren't competitively bid, so it became pretty clear that the town lacked the proper oversight of this project," said Brian Butry, a spokesperson for the Comptroller's office.
The additions include a storage building that was made larger than it was supposed to be -- an extra garage bay and siding and roofing that was authorized, all of this without town board approval.
In 2002, the board approved the project and said that it couldn't cost more than $4.25 million. The actual total came to more than $4.7 million, with taxpayers picking up the extra costs.
This all happened, even though a committee was setup to oversee the project.
The review shows that local officials admit to most of the claims. The state gave about $380,000 to the project, but auditors don't think the money should be given back because no laws were broken.
Thursday afternoon we spoke to Cummings by phone and he promised he'd speak to us Friday. But after talking to attorneys he's declined an interview.
In the report, Cummings calls the audit a "refresher" and that "[...] a great deal of time was spent planning this project and providing informational meetings to the public, we will look to improve upon government transparency."

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
In a classroom at the Carbon County Senior Center on Thursday more than 20 members of the Castle Country Quilters were hard at work.
Sewing machines filled the room with their particular mechanical rattle. Stories of quilting, families and fun memories were shared. And the quilts, each with its own unique design and look, were just getting started while others were nearly complete.
With all of the hard work put into each and every quilt, the Castle Country Quilters showed no signs of slowing down. It always helps to know of the reason why they are making the quilts in the first place. All of the quilts made during their project will be donated to all of the patients in the Burn Unit at the Children's Hospital University of Utah.
The Castle Country Quilters are hoping to make at least 125 quilts between now and May. It's going to take a lot of work, but many in the group are hoping to reach that goal and go beyond.
"It can take up to a whole day to make a quilt," said Penny Boyack, project manager with Castle Country Quilters. "But we'll make it and succeed that number hopefully."
For each person that will receive a quilt, behind all of the fabric and stitching and the unique designs of each quilt, they will receive a labor of love put together by people hoping their work makes another person's day a little brighter.
"It's wonderful to sew the last thread on a quilt," said Pat Scherschel, who has been quilting for over 15 years. "Lots of love goes into each and every quilt we make."
For some quilters just the thought of helping someone, in this case a burn victim, is providing all of the motivation needed to produce as many quilts as possible.
"Knowing that someone needs a quilt makes this work very rewarding," said Cindy Vouk. "It's a warm feeling to know we are helping them."
And of course seeing the quilt being used by someone can be a moment to remember forever.
"Seeing people all snuggled up in a quilt you made is great to see," said Vouk.
The quilts are being created and put to use with the burn center patients because of the ability to wash and clean the quilts on a daily basis to prevent further infection and discomfort.
While there is still plenty of time between now and the finish line in May, there is a lot of work to be done and a lot of quilts to be made.
Boyack said the group is always open to volunteers helping out with making quilts. The group meets every third Thursday of each month. The group will be meeting at Price City Hall from this point forward as the group will no longer be holding meetings at the Senior Center.

These last threads of yours sound a lot like my ex-wife. Doug, stay away from anyone named Annie.
We just picked up some rocky gortex socks hoping it will make her more comfortable during the day when it's wet. At night I plan to bring enough fuel for a hot water bottle.

"Doug, stay away from anyone named Annie."Dunkel says Laura. You say Annie. Pretty soon I won't be able to date anybody!
When my wife gets into bed her feet usually feel like they have been stored in the frig. She puts them against me to get them warm. They feel like ice daggers when they first touch me. To prevent further ice stabbings she has agreed to hold them still until they warm up.Squggles, our cat, comes in from outside and does the same. Her feet feel like 4 ice cubes sometimes. Squiggles has agreed to hold them still until they warm up.Several odd questions from Douglas recently. Hmmmmmm.

What's the source of that cartoon?
My house.
Just after strapping on crampons. Makes belly warmers tough.
Men have warm bodies for a reason: to warm us up with. Just sayin'. You could be snuggled up to a hairy man named "Bubba" instead....so take your pick ;-) Non-hairy wife who is cold, warm-blooded hairy guy.......
>Non-hairy wife who is cold, warm-blooded hairy guy.......I knew a couple where the guy literally won first or second place in the "hairiest man in Chicago" contest. They got divorced.

This conversation just got real ugly real fast
My wife had this problem. Out solution was she would use my versalite sleeping bag down to 40F (and something warmer below this?!). while wearing primaloft booties + warm hat. Normally this worked well enough. If she was having problems we would have her take the booties off and do a hot water bottle by the feet until they were warmed and then put the booties back on.--Mark
