"I still have my U.S. Army glasses, issued to me in 1969. They were one-style-fits-all glasses, as you can see. They were so ugly that most of us went back to wearing civilian-issue types or contact lenses as soon as we were out of training.
"My friend Jerry has a son who has just recently completed his 20-year stint in the Army. I asked Jerry if they still issue one-style-only eyeglasses to the troops. He laughed and said: 'Yes, they do! My son says the troops refer to them as "birth control" glasses!'
"I can certainly see why!"
An up-the-wallism from TXTransplant: "Thankfully, I don't hear this often.
"I worked in an office with a lady who apparently believed that every single minute of every single day must be filled with words. One of the aggravations I dealt with was 'See what I'm saying?' One day I just snapped. I yelled at her (shame on me): 'No, I don't see what you're saying. I must be blind!' "
And from Birdwatcher in La Crescent: "I totally agree with Rosie of Shoreview with her up-the-wallisms [BB, 9/20/2013], and that brought to mind an irritating (to me) phrase that has been used for years in restaurants.
"When I am out to lunch with my girlfriends, why do the servers have to say to us gals, 'How are you guys today?'? We are not guys!
"Also, while we are eating, another irritating phrase from the server is 'How are things tasting?' Grrrr! There, I got that off my chest. [Bulletin Board reports: Years ago, we interrogated a server about the ubiquitous "How are things/How is everything tasting?" She informed us that servers are loath to say something along the lines of "How is everything?" ... because the question is too open-ended, and the answers too often have nothing to do with the food, or the drink, or the surroundings, or anything the servers need or want to know!]
"Have a nice fall day. The weather is great."
Our theater of seasons
Anne Nonny Mouse: "We were driving home from work yesterday on a busy highway, and a squirrel with a giant green apple in his mouth ran right in front of our car. 'Squirrel!' I called out, an alert to hubby -- but he had seen it, too. The squirrel just made it past our tires as we crossed paths. Phew! Safe! Sheesh, we narrowly missed sending a squirrel to his eternal reward at that big oak tree in the sky.
"This time of year, one is always in danger of squashing industrious squirrels out gathering their winter food supply. Geez, every street is a squirrel crossing, and I don't want a squirrel death on my conscience.
"Hubby was musing about what might make food offerings on one side of the road so much more desirous to the squirrel than offerings on the other side. (A new twist on an age-old question: Why did the squirrel cross the road?) I suppose it's the same as a Wendy's on one side of the road vs. McDonald's on the other. It's whatever you are in the mood for, be you squirrel or human, and that squirrel had a hankering for a big green apple bad enough to risk life and limb for it. I imagine a steady acorn diet gets tiresome.
"It's that time of year -- we must remain vigilant out there, folks, so our little furry-tailed friends can have a well-earned rest during hibernation ... but not a permanent hibernation."
Today's (self-) helpful hint (resp'l)
The most recent Thursday's Bulletin Board included a note from Weezi: "Memo to Self:
"Next year, make sure the tomato cages you build have openings small enough so a rabbit cannot get through them, but large enough to get your hand through them to harvest a tomato and, more importantly, allow space for you to withdraw your hand while clutching said tomato."
We presently heard from Tony of Lake Elmo: "In my experience, a rabbit can get through a wire fence rectangle less than about 2 inches across by 3 inches high. Unless one is cultivating cherry tomatoes and has a very small hand, it seems unlikely to me that a tomato cage exists that will meet the criteria Weezi stated.
"The solution I use for my flower garden is to use 3-foot-high welded wire fence for rigidity, and then put chicken wire (or maybe ask for poultry netting) on the outside of the welded wire, to stop the bunnies. So far they have not been smart enough to climb over."
Keeping your ears open
IGHGrampa: "I have known people from other countries and noted a few language characteristics they show.
"A lady from Somalia couldn't pronounce the X sound as we do. For example, she pronounced the number six as 'sik-iss.' We just say it as 'siks.'
"Interestingly, a man I knew who was Indian, but grew up in Khartoum, Sudan, where his parents ran an import/export business, also pronounced six the same way as the lady from Somalia. He had a different way of saying 'says.' We say 'sez,' as in 'Joe sez he ain't going.' He got his higher education in England, so that may have influenced his pronunciation. He said it as 'says,' as in 'say' with an s sound on the end. I liked talking to him just to hear his accent and word pronunciations."
Then & Now
Toni Division
A Lady Who Loves Little People: "Memories flooded my brain as I read the recent stories about the Toni Company.
"The Toni Co. hired college students in the summer, and I was lucky enough to get a full-time job there right after graduating from high school. Having paid all of the tuition and expenses for my last two years at OLP by myself, my college fund was sitting somewhere in the below-$5 range. Working at Toni, along with part-time employment at Applebaum's and my parents' bakery, allowed me to save enough money that summer to pay for full-time college tuition, as well as room and board, for my freshman year at St. Cloud State (imagine trying to do that today!). I was rehired the next summer, so working at the Toni Co. actually put me, mostly debt-free (a car accident strained my budget to where I had to take out a small loan), through two years of college.
"I loved working on the second-shift assembly line at Toni. We had a wonderful crew of older women and college students, and we often sang songs and played games to pass the time. When the efficiency expert wasn't around, we'd often double up on our tasks to give the person down the line a bathroom break. I thought it was the perfect summer job -- even when I found out that the males who worked on the floor got paid more than the females. In answer to my questions as to why that was, my older women co-workers explained how men needed more money because they were the main breadwinners in their families. Even though the guys I saw on the floor looked too young to be supporting families, I accepted that reasoning. (That would not be the case today!)
"Tagged to the happy memories came a terrifying one. It happened while my whole family was in California visiting my oldest sister. I had left the Toni factory at midnight and was driving home on Shepard Road when I noticed a car following close to mine. My instincts immediately let me know that this was not a good situation. I had about three miles in which to figure out what my options were. This was the '60s, and all businesses were closed at this hour, and of course there were no cellphones. I drove past the fire station located not too far from my home; there was no sign of anyone's being there. The car with the two guys in it was still behind me, even though I had tried to lose it by taking several turns. Even before I was out of options, I naturally began to pray. Now, I was praying with an intensity that is called for in the most serious of situations. I quite simply did not know what to do next. For some reason, I decided to drive by my house, even though I felt that I was safer in my car than in an empty house. It was now 12:30 a.m. Awaiting me in my driveway was the miracle I had prayed for! A friend of mine had been at a party and met two guys. They didn't want the evening to end so early, so they had decided to drive to my house and see if I wanted to join them. (This was a first time anyone was waiting for me after work.) I hopped into their car, and the guys in the car that had been following me drove off.
"The four of us went to Como Park, where I remember dancing around picnic tables and babbling incessantly out of profound relief. I never heard again from, or about, the guys who had rescued me from who-knows-what fate. I never expected to, since angels have a way of disappearing after their job is finished."

" Manufacturer: Leapfrog "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This Christmas we bought my little girl the Leapfrog Tag reading system which is basically a talking "pen" that has special books that you load onto it and it helps young kids learn to read books and also enjoy books by themselves.
One of the books we bought to go along with the reader was a Disney fairies book, Tinker bell's true talent. She is a big Disney can so I knew this would go down well and she loves reading this book and looking at the pictures. The book is very well made. It's a hardback book and is full of lovely colourful pictures and bold text.
There are various ways in which you can utilise this book. You can use the reader to read the whole story for you by just pressing it onto the symbol on the first page that says, "read the story." My little girl likes this option as she is only three and doesn't use the reader to its full potential yet so she likes to hear the story fully. It is read is a nice calm female voice with different voices obviously for the different characters. You can also just have the reader read a page at a time which is good as there are different things to do on each page like games and hear different sounds. For example, on one page when you press the star button which means "game" it asks you to,"Touch the picture of Tinkerbell where she looks unhappy." You then use the reader to touch her picture and you get confirmation that you got it right. It's great because you can touch so many different things on the page and the reader will make a noise. For example on one page Tinkerbell is holding a tea kettle in one drawing and when you place the pen on this kettle it makes a sort of boiling noise.
The main synopsis of the story goes like this. "A new fairy had arrived in Pixie Hollow and it was time for this little fairy to find her talent. "How will I know what my talent is?" the fairy wondered. But soon she knew. When the little fairy held the hammer, it began to glow. She was a tinker fairy now, called Tinker Bell!"
Tink was upset to find out though that she was not able to go to the mainland, only nature fairies could do that so in this book Timkerbell tries to find a nature talent. For example, she tries to be a water fairy, a fairy who puts dew drops on spiderwebs but she can't do it. Then she tries to be a light fairy, a fairy who grabs sunlight and tosses it at fireflies to make them glow but she can't do this either. I won't spoil the ending for you but in conclusion Tinkerbells learns an important lesson, "Always be true to yourself." A nice lesson to teach little girls in my opinion.
There are a few games at the end of the book including the Fairy seasons game. This is a spring and winter game where the narrator names certain items and you have to decide whether you find them in winter or spring. For example some of the things are, Snowman, Butterfly, Cloud, Tree branch , Icicle and Blossom.
At £15 yes, this book is expensive but it has so many different aspects to it that I know my little girl will enjoy for years to come.

The Kingdom of God on earth
Daniel 2:44
"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever".
Matthew 6:9-10
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"
Revelation 21:3-4
"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away".
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is the promised New Kingdom of God on earth, The New Kingdom is the fulfilment of our Lord's prayer in Matthew 6:9-10, "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." The Kingdom of God is the dwelling place of God. It is not a church, temple, mosque, synagogue or any religious sect. The Kingdom of God is not of this world; however, it is established by God on earth. The New Kingdom cannot be claimed by any nation or tribe, because it does not belong to any one country or ethnic group or based on the culture and tradition of this world. The Kingdom belongs to God and all those who seek for it with a pure heart and practice love for one another. It belongs to all those who has suffered for the sake of the gospel and worked diligently for God's sake. The Kingdom belongs to those who have repented and are redeemed from earth. Read more in Everlasting Gospel Vol. 1 chapter 1 and chapter 56.

continued "Normally, the elected officials do not get wage increases, but this year, we gave the councilors a raise because we pay them minimum wage, and minimum wage went from $7.25 to $8 an hour," he said. "The judges' salaries were raised by two percent and each will receive about $700 more this year."
Curulla said he wasn't expecting the board to adopt a budget so early on. The state requires that each town adopt a budget by Nov. 20 this year. Last year, DeWitt held two budget hearings and then had to schedule a special meeting to pass the budget on Nov. 19, three days after last year's deadline of Nov. 16.

For many high school boys' basketball teams, Thursday marks the beginning of a new season – a clean slate for all involved parties with role players looking to blossom into stars, and stars seeking to take their team to the next level.
In the case of defending state champion St. Raphael Academy, maintaining the status quo will do just fine. The dawn of a fresh campaign also signifies the arrival of two Pawtucket-based high school tournaments geared towards preserving the memories of a pair of legendary city coaches.
For many high school boys' basketball teams, Thursday marks the beginning of a new season – a clean slate for all involved parties with role players looking to blossom into stars, and stars seeking to take their team to the next level.
In the case of defending state champion St. Raphael Academy, maintaining the status quo will do just fine. The dawn of a fresh campaign also signifies the arrival of two Pawtucket-based high school tournaments geared towards preserving the memories of a pair of legendary city coaches.
Both significant events get underway simultaneously on Thursday night with the 16th annual James W. Donaldson Memorial Tip-Off Tournament taking place at Tolman High School. The other staple, the 26th edition of the Dennis M. Lynch Jr. Memorial Tournament, tips off at the Pawtucket Boys & Girls Club.
One year after making do with a three-team arrangement that resulted in moving some parts around – 2009 winner Shea automatically advanced to the championship round – all four spots in the Donaldson Tournament are present and accounted for. The action gets underway Thursday with Shea and Toll Gate at 6 p.m. with defending champ Tolman going up against East Greenwich at 7:30.
Thursday's winners will square off Saturday night at 7:30 with the consolation game scheduled for 6.
For the third straight year the field for the Lynch Tournament will consist of St. Raphael, Woonsocket, Central Falls and Providence Country Day. Last year's edition saw the Saints pick up their 18th team title after rolling to a 66-53 win against the Villa Novans, a fellow Division I member.
On Thursday SRA and C.F. get things underway at 6 p.m. followed by Woonsocket-PCD at 7:45. The victors will then meet in Saturday's title game at 7:45 p.m., which comes on the heels of the consolation game, set for 6 o'clock.
Below is a preseason primer of the local entries and who to watch out for:
Division I
Longtime St. Raphael head coach Tom "Saar" Sorrentine has been so busy instilling plays that he's yet to sit his team down and have that all-important talk about opposing teams seeking to take aim at the target painted on their backs. Fortunately for Sorrentine, he has whippet Charles Correa to lean on. A junior point guard who enjoyed a breakout postseason on his way to guiding the Saints to their first state title in nine years, Correa is viewed in many corners as R.I.'s top player.
The Saints also welcome back starters Cesar Mejia, a senior swingman who was an all-league and all-division pick, and classmate Davon Robertson, a standout from the football team. Seniors Malcolm Williams and Zach Mays along with junior Jordan Peguero will be asked to step up their games while 6-foot-4 newcomer Abbou Bah bears watching.
Alex Butler, head coach of East Providence, plans to shape his roster around holdovers Jawaan Lyles, Brendan Quigley and Victor Adewusi, who has been slowed by a knee injury sustained during football. Last season saw the Townies, who like the Saints reside in I-East, miss the playoffs by one game at 8-10.
Another team aiming for a turnaround is Woonsocket, a I-North member which suffered through a dreadful 1-17 winter that saw several players leave the program mid-season. Junior Cody L'Heureux is one player head coach Kyle Ivey-Jones will base his attack around.
Says Butler about how he views the state's top tier: "I think the league has three or four teams that can potentially be very good and you have the rest of the league which will be competitive as it always is. It's going to come down to matchups and how you play against certain teams.
"In our own division, St. Raphael will be loaded and tough as anybody. Central will be very good and Hendricken returns its backcourt. I still think North Kingstown will be good and Coventry is still going to be tough," Butler added.
Division II
It appears Tolman, Shea and Lincoln will spend much of the winter chasing North Providence in II-Central. A Final Four participant, the Cougars return several notable faces on top of welcoming Rob Hazard, an all-division performer who transferred from North Kingstown.
Tolman head coach Mike Kayata has his backcourt set with senior Juan Velez at point guard and junior Mamour Samb occupying the shooting guard slot. A junior varsity contributor last season, senior Jalen Dupre will also be in the guard mix. Jonathan Percy, a 6-foot-6 junior, will man the pivot with senior Justin Zetina also seeing time in the post.
Two good places for Shea head coach Matt Pita to start are senior point guard Jordy Brito and junior Eli Itkin, a shooting-guard type who will also see time at small forward. Senior Malcolm Rosa hopes to shake off an injury-plagued season while Pita welcomes senior Jamal Tucker from the football squad.
Will this be the season Lincoln bounces back after three consecutive sub-.500 seasons? Certainly Kent Crooks is optimistic, as the Lincoln head coach will blend a host of newcomers around senior pivot Anthony Palombo.
Defending North champion Central Falls looks to build around veterans Cliff Johnson, Steve Vazquez and Ryan Murray. Johnson is the Warriors' top playmaker with Murray and Vazquez also capable of executing on both ends.
Cumberland junior Ben Bradley was a first team all-division pick as a sophomore, which is good news for head coach Gary Reedy, whose team last advanced to the postseason in 2006.
Senior Will Girard and junior Scott Peterson were Ponaganset's all-division selections last year. The Chieftains open the season with the Ponaganset Pink Madness Tournament, on the docket for Saturday and Sunday.
Division III
Change is the order of business here with Burrillville and North Smithfield respectively ushering in new head coaches. Taking over for the Broncos is Kevin Randall while the baton has been passed to Thomas Ciolfi with the Northmen, who will feature junior Matt Walkow, a first team all-division selection a year ago.
Fellow North member Mount St. Charles aims to rebound after a 5-13 finish, the Mounties' first losing record since 2005-06. MSC junior Dan Householder is one player head coach Scott Colantonio plans to lean on.
There's no place for Davies Tech to go but up. The Patriots, led by senior Brendan Daily, have not won a league game since the 2007 season.

Mackey: Explaining the fall of Slowey, in which both sides share blame
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
DALLAS -- On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins sold low on right-hander Kevin Slowey.
There's really no other way to describe trading a 27-year-old former second-round draft pick with a history of success who posted an 0-8 record with a 6.67 ERA in 2011.
"He was a high pick for us, he had ceiling, he had success in the minor leagues," general manager Terry Ryan said Tuesday. "I think our hopes for him were quite high, and justifiably so. ... I thought highly of him, and I think a lot of people thought highly of him. It didn't work out so well."
So what the hell happened? And who deserves the blame?
In reality, both sides deserve a portion.
It all goes back to spring training, where Slowey was assured he would compete for one of two available starting rotation slots with Nick Blackburn and Scott Baker.
Carl Pavano, Francisco Liriano and Brian Duensing had been all but assured of their spots after the 2010 season ended, and rightfully so, as those three pitchers all performed phenomenally that year.
Blackburn and Baker each underwent minor elbow surgery in the offseason, and Baker's spring routine was stalled early on due to discomfort, mostly when throwing his changeup.
Meanwhile, Slowey was deemed perfectly healthy after some triceps discomfort slowed him late in the 2010 season.
Manager Ron Gardenhire quickly narrowed the race when he named Blackburn a starter on March 7 after a solid outing in Port Charlotte, leaving the final spot for Baker and Slowey to battle over. Slowey heard about this news over the internet before Gardenhire or pitching coach Rick Anderson had a chance to speak to him.
On March 22, Gardenhire officially declared Baker the team's fifth starter, which turned out to be a wise decision, as Baker posted a 3.14 ERA with 123 strikeouts in 134 2/3 innings before elbow problems sidelined him after the All-Star break.
At the time, Slowey had a right to be disappointed, at least to some degree. To the extent that spring training numbers matter, Slowey out-pitched everybody. On top of that, Baker admitted to mild elbow discomfort as late as March 20.
Slowey felt like it wasn't a fair competition, sources with knowledge of the situation said, and maybe it wasn't. Maybe Slowey was always the odd man out. After all, Baker and Blackburn had each signed long-term contracts in prior seasons, and neither had spent much time pitching out of the bullpen previously.
Whether Slowey was the odd man out all along, or whether he lost the competition fair and square, the responsibility fell at least partially on the shoulders of someone behind the scenes -- Gardenhire, Anderson, general manager Bill Smith or somebody else -- to find a way to connect better with Slowey about his role.
From there, things only spiraled downward.
Despite the Twins' shortage of quality relief pitchers, Slowey never fully embraced his bullpen role, thus crossing the line from being disappointed to being a malcontent.
Gardenhire wanted him to start the season as a key seventh- and eighth-inning guy, but Slowey told Gardenhire and Anderson that he was having problems adjusting to the new warm-up routines, the unpredictable pitching schedule and other aspects of being a reliever.
Slowey would be placed on the disabled list just a handful of games into the season, on April 9, with shoulder discomfort.
Asked to elaborate on the nature of the injury, Slowey was short with reporters, saying, "I think we'll probably just stick with what the (press) release said. Just go with that for now."
He added, "I'm certainly not a medical professional, so asking me to sort of figure out or extrapolate what caused it, I think wouldn't be very fair to me to say what caused it."
This exchange was a microcosm of Slowey's relationship with reporters over the past couple years -- a relationship that seemed to sour since his call-up in 2007. Slowey didn't always believe in sharing information with the public, and he even went out of his way at times to share this philosophy with teammates.
Is this annoying for media members who have jobs to do? Yes. Should it be the driving reason for disparaging Slowey? No.
Slowey spent 32 days sidelined with the sore shoulder before being activated from the disabled list on May 6. During his rehab assignment the Twins stretched Slowey out over multiple innings as a backup plan for Francisco Liriano, who struggled mightily during the first month of the season.
"That's kind of why we're working on Slowey, getting him stretched out," Gardenhire said on April 29, "in case we decide after this next start whether we're going to do something or not (with Liriano)."
As it turned out, Liriano threw a no-hitter in his next start, further solidifying Slowey's return to the bullpen -- a return that lasted two weeks.
Slowey appeared in only three games between May 7 and May 22, and Gardenhire expressed his frustration to curious reporters, saying, "It's been real hard. We were asking him to be able to step up and give us some big innings, and it's been real hard."
Slowey told Gardenhire and Anderson he was having trouble getting loose for back-to-back outings, which put the Twins and their already-struggling bullpen in a massive bind.
But the sense behind the scenes was that Slowey wasn't willing to get loose for back-to-back outings -- that he still wasn't willing to embrace his bullpen role.
At the time, none of the Twins' five starters warranted a demotion out of the bullpen -- Blackburn and Liriano had bounced back from poor Aprils, Pavano was the staff's highest-paid pitcher, and both Baker and Duensing were cruising along for the most part.
On May 22, Gardenhire mentioned sending Slowey to Rochester so he could get some starts under his belt, but the right-hander revealed he was experiencing some abdominal discomfort. An MRI showed no inflammation and no tear, but Slowey sought a second opinion with Edina-based hernia specialist Dr. Bradley Pierce. The hernia exam came back negative, but Slowey was diagnosed with a mild acute rectus abdominis strain.
Slowey remained on the disabled list from May 21 (retroactive) until July 22, when he was officially demoted to Triple-A Rochester, but he first hinted at the possibility of a trade on July 5 in an interview with the Rochester Baseball Observer.
Injuries eventually depleted the Twins' pitching rotation enough to where Slowey was recalled to start two handfuls of games at the end of the season. It didn't go well.
Slowey finished the season 0-8 with a 6.67 ERA, 4.47 FIP and 78 hits allowed (10 home runs) in only 59 1/3 innings, capping perhaps the most forgettable season in his professional career.
Add to that the fact that Slowey -- likely owed about $3 million through arbitration this year -- hasn't thrown more than 160 1/3 innings in a major league season since his call-up in 2007 and he wasn't exactly the most valuable trade commodity.
But the Twins -- in desperate need of quality, affordable starting pitching -- were willing to sell low anyway, for a player to be named later from the Colorado Rockies.
"I think it's probably good for Kevin," Ryan said. "Sometimes there's a change of scenery, and that's probably beneficial. It's as simple as that. There's nothing more, nothing less to it. I explained that to him this morning. Changing leagues, changing cities, changing organizations, sometimes that's a good thing for a player. Hopefully it will be for him. And the Rockies."
Ryan, who admittedly hasn't spent much time around Slowey over the last couple years, is big on what he calls "makeup" -- leadership, accountability with the media, coachability, and other non-physical traits.
According to multiple sources familiar with the Twins' behind-the-scenes dynamics, Slowey was slipping in many of those "makeup" categories. Sources say Slowey also lost trust in Gardenhire, Anderson and others in the organization.
On the other side of the wall, there was a sense behind the scenes that Slowey was in no real hurry to return from his rehab assignment.
That part of the equation, quite frankly, is difficult and dangerous to dissect.
In the end, the Twins sold low on a promising 27-year-old arm in large part because of personality and philosophical clashes that had very little to do with on-field performance. Slowey wasn't traded because he had a bad season. If that was the case, the entire 40-man roster should be on the block.
But most importantly, Slowey didn't have enough of a track record to be a malcontent about his role on a major league team. Yet malcontent is probably the most fitting word to describe Slowey in 2011. He was paid $2.7 million to be a professional and make the adjustment to the bullpen -- an adjustment hundreds of pitchers make every year in professional baseball. And chances are, Slowey would have been the first man summoned when one of the other starters inevitably struggled or developed arm issues.
What could have been? We'll never know.

I am a huge fan of mecha shows and this one is just pure awesome. Code Geass used to be my favorite Anime but Gurren Lagann is just awesome. I have no clue if the DS game is any good though, but it is the only Gurren Lagann board.
Oh here is a drawing of the logo I made a while ago for no reason.
So if you like Gurren Lagann make a shout out. Also maybe say some other Mecha Anime you are a fan of. You can't go wrong with Evangeleon or Gundam Wing.
I know this is more of a thing for Anime Vice, but the community there is not active like at all and I care more about what people think here.

For West Bank protesters, legal knowledge is power
Anyone who's been to a checkpoint or a protest in the West Bank knows how arbitrary military rule can be. For the activist on the ground, some specific knowledge of the occupation's byzantine legal framework can make a real difference. By Raghad Jaraisy Youtube is rife with videos of daily life in the West Bank – home demolitions, violent suppression of protests, unchecked settler violence, arbitrary arrests, etc. But this video, from the organization Ta'ayush, is a little different. If other videos play out like action films, this one is more of a drama. No fisticuffs, no bulldozers, no tear gas or rubber bullets.…Read More... | 2 Comments

DENVER (AP) -- Denver police say they arrested one person suspected of fleeing the scene of a car crash that killed a woman.
KUSA-TV reports (http://goo.gl/pHuz74 ) that police say the two-vehicle crash happened at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday in northeast Denver.
Police say a woman driving a minivan died, and that two children who were passengers were hospitalized, but their injuries are not life-threatening.
The name of the victim was not released.
Police say witnesses told officers that the driver and passenger of the other vehicle involved in the crash ran away from the scene. One of them was later arrested.

Proslogium; Monologium; An Appendix in Behalf of the Fool by Gaunilon; and Cur Deus Homo
by St. Anselm
Enter your search query for this book.
Results will appear here as you type.
Page loading...
In this compilation of St. Anselm's most
important works, St. Anselm uses reason and philosophical
argument to defend the Christian faith against
non-believers. St. Anselm stresses the importance of our
rational nature as humans, encouraging Christians that
they should be "always ready to convince anyone who
demands of them a reason of that hope which is in us." In
his Proslogium, St. Anselm presents the Ontological
Argument, an argument for the existence of God in which
God is defined as, "a being than which none greater can be conceived."
In Behalf of the Fool by Gaunilon, St. Anselm discusses a
counterargument offered by his contemporary, Gaunilon, a Benedictine
monk who questioned St. Anselm's definition of God. Monologium
the attributes of God, while Cur Deus Homo (translated, "Why God
Man") addresses difficult questions about the Incarnation. This
collection is a fine example of the intertwining of medieval philosophy
and Christian apologetics. St. Anselm's argument for the existence of
God influenced many philosophers in the early modern era and continues
to influence thinkers today.

Comments about Dean Markley 2508 CL NickelSteel Electric Guitar Strings:
These strings feel like they sound: Big and powerful.
I love the texture of the wound strings as you can feel the winds, but they don't interfere with mobility across the strings like other brands of strings.
Consider these strings if you need the ultimate balance between heavy rhythm playing and articulate soloing - especially if playing in standard tuning on a long scale guitar built for speed (i.e. Jackson).

Reversing the tide
The first of Australia's multiple World Cup titles. England, making their second appearance in the final, were cruising at 135 for 2, when Mike Gatting top-edged a reverse-sweep off Allan Border to the wicketkeeper, Greg Dyer. Even after his fall, their target of 254 seemed within easy reach - they needed 102 off 15 overs. But when Steve Waugh took the crucial wicket of Allan Lamb (45), things began to unravel for England. Australia won by seven runs and David Boon was the Man of the Match for his 75.
Birth of Brett Lee, who excelled as an exponent of extreme speed over a decade without achieving the all-conquering success required to earn the tag of a true Test great. Fast and with a flashy smile that added to his star quality, he finished as Australia's fourth-most successful bowler, with 310 wickets in 76 matches. He got 42 wickets in his first seven Tests but then suffered a series of injuries, first to his elbow and then several to his ankle. In 2009, having missed the Ashes because of a side strain, he decided to retire from Tests in order to prolong his limited-overs career. In 2012 he retired from all international cricket.
The last pair of Ridley Jacobs and Fidel Edwards negotiated the last half-hour safely to allow West Indies to hold on by the thinnest of threads in the first Test against Zimbabwe in Harare. This was the last real hurrah in Tests for a whole clutch of Zimbabwean players. Heath Streak scored a hundred from No. 8, but they were denied what would have been their eighth Test victory.
After New Zealand smashed their then highest one-day total (349 for 9) to win the first match in Rajkot three days earlier, India did likewise in the second in Hyderabad. They demolished New Zealand by 174 runs thanks to an imperious batting display - they made 376 for 2, with Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid putting on 331, the highest partnership for any wicket in an ODI. Dravid hit a run-a-ball 153 but was overshadowed by the majesty of Tendulkar, who faced three balls fewer for 33 runs more. All the bowlers took some fearful hammer, none more so than Chris Drum (9-0-85-0). Off the last six overs, India crashed 90.
Birth of the second nightwatchman to make a Test hundred. Australia's Tony Mann followed Nasim-ul-Ghani of Pakistan with 105 against India in Perth in 1977-78. But whereas Nasim was hardly a fish out of water batting at No. 6, Mann was well and truly in at the deep end at No. 3. It was a vital innings too, as it laid the foundation for Australia's successful fourth-innings chase of 342 for 8. But Mann continued to struggle in his day job (after taking 3 for 12 in his first innings, his leggies yielded only one more wicket at a cost of 304 runs) and played only two more Tests.
International cricket took a leaf out of the Sunday League's book when Zimbabwe played a one-day international against New Zealand in the middle of a Test match. The second one-dayer was sandwiched between the first and second days of the second Test, but such nonsense meant little to Martin Crowe: fresh from an imperious 140 in whites, he put on the pyjamas and cracked a match-winning 94, off only 87 balls. There was also a brief moment of controversy when Dipak Patel ran out the non-striker, Grant Flower, for backing up too far.
The birth of Niall O'Brien, Ireland's feisty left-handed batsman and wicketkeeper. His most famous knock was the 72 in the 2007 World Cup, when he led Ireland to a stunning win over Pakistan. He was named Northants' Player of the Year at the end of the 2008 season and helped Ireland qualify for the 2011 World Cup - where he scored 167 runs in five matches - and the 2012 World T20 in Sri Lanka.
Papua New Guinea made quite an entry into one-day cricket, needing only 39 overs to chase 203 and beat Hong Kong by four wickets in Townsville, in their inaugural ODI. Half-centuries by Charles Amini and Vani Morea revived a chase that had been flagging at 76 for 5 at one point.

Hey BPL,I'm looking for someone to backpack with in the Sierra, I go to Sierra 2 or 3 time a summer season. I am planning on at least two trips this year. I would like to do some off trail backpacking and interested in having a backpacking partner. My backpacking skill level would be novice to intermediate, I usually backpack solo. I'm open to difference location, but I have had my eye on Kaweah Basin and Nine lake region in Sequoia. I would like to spend at least one full day off trail durning the trip. I don't like super long days, more into exploring then racking up miles. The trip length I had in mind were between 2-7 days.(8-12 Miles Per Day ish and 4000ft elevation gain or less) I try to stay in shape with long day hikes, mostly in the LA area. Like MT baldy, I would be interested in have a day hike partner to train with to get ready for the summer season.Let me know if you interested, I figure we could see if we would be compatible with a couple day hikes. I would be interested to hear about any trip ideas you have, or share some of my plans for upcoming trips.-Kevin
Hi Kevin,I am going to the Kaweah Basin this year.We can do some day hikes and see how it works.PM me.-Jerry
Pick some dates and post a trip that you'd like to do... if you post 30-60 days ahead of your trip you can probably get 2-3 people to join you. I've found it's somewhat harder to organize things 6 months in the future but longer trips like the JMT or PCT require much more coordination.But if you're looking at 2-7 days lots of us have flexible schedules to just take off.I know I do.
Probably out of the running to join you in the Summer, but I'm in the LA area if you'd be interested in some day hikes!

ASUS Radeon R9 280X Review
CatZilla and Unigine Valley
Published: 8th October 2013 | Source: ASUS | Price: £274.99 |
In our 3D Mark tests we saw that as the detail level increased, so did the relative performance of the R9 280X. In CatZilla though, no matter whether we're at the "looks like a PS1 game" 576 test of the full-on 1440 benchmark, the GTX770 comfortably beats the R9 280X. Even the GTX760 stays close until the image quality maximum where the 280X just pulls ahead.
Unigine Valley
Unigine Valley gives us an interesting result. Without any anti-aliasing the GTX770 has the upper hand, but once we apply the 8xMSAA the 280X comes back to tie.
Most Recent Comments
The first of the next series of Radeon cards is a familiar foe. Whilst we wait for the Hawaii core 290X, let's look at the Tahiti 280X
Continue Reading
As for the now confirmed pricing I can see how that bumped it up to gold award because you can essential crossfire 280x for just over the price of a single 7970 when they were released
there is no longer a xfire bridge, it's all done via the pcie slot now, this is part of the new technology ati have introduced
R9 280X for �239.99
Can you put an HD 7970 and an R9 280x in CrossfireX?
Maybe with a flashed bios?
Now I've got to choose between two of these or two 770s (probably those gainward ones with the funky coolers) over the next few months. I'm planning to go the full three screens y'see and as much as I'd like to go 780/290 I don't think they'd support my monitor plan. Guess I'll have to see on the 290...
780/290 won't need to be in dual GPU mode as much as a single 280x/770 would need to be. For 3x screens at least.
What I'm wondering now is;
Can you put an HD 7970 and an R9 280x in CrossfireX?
Maybe with a flashed bios?
Found this on newegg. I know you guys live in the UK/EU but here's some nice info for y'all.Link This just gives some more specs. Such as clock speeds and what not. I only looked through a few but so far the highest stock clock one is 1070 on the core. That was the DCU2 i think.

British Muslims for Secular Democracy has announced that it is joining the Accord Coalition, which brings together religious and non-religious groups to promote community schooling and reform the way faith schools currently operate.
There has been a mixed response to Prime Minister Tony Blair's call for educationists and the media to recognise the 'true face' of Islam, and for Muslims themselves to speak out against extremism.

Are you suffering from the Monday morning blues? Maybe this post will help.
Sophie our rescue dog comes to Quilting Arts every day, but Maggie (our Italian Greyhound) and Louie (our yapping Min Pin) aren't so lucky. Every once in a while, though, they do get to make the trip to the office, and you've never seen anyone---canine or human---so exuberant to go to work! (And if you're wondering what we do with the quilts when the dogs come, we keep them safely stored and far from paws' reach.)
This is fantastic! If only I was that excited to go to work!
I think you need to give them a full-time position!
oh they are just the BEST!! ;) sooo cute and funny! xooxox
Sophie must be part golden. She is excited, but no verbalizing just the ever-present tail-wagging to let you know of her excitement! God bless our furry children!
Oh, A very happy group! The energy is super :)
So much fun!! I love that they know what "go to work" means. :) Our dog loves to "go to town". We've never had a truck rider before this one.
Too cute! If only you could actually put them to work. Hey, they would work for food, ya' know.
What precious dogs you have! I love how Louie seems to be saying, "Work! Work! Work!"
Thanks for the smile. Your dogs are adorable.
Dawn B.
Harpo, my Mini-goldendoodle, loves this video! He junped up and started 'talking' to the dogs on the screen!
My dogs loved it! Our dingo dog is the official church dog, goes every Sunday and all bible studies and board meetings! (husband is a preacher)
If only we could all be that excited to go to work!
Here it is early Monday morning and I was having a rough time getting my day going until I saw this cute video. It is amazing what our pets can do for us. Thanks for sharing.
I have a confession...I would probably be just as excited to go to work if I worked at QA or CPS, too!
Really cute - thanks for sharing!

Role player Ronny Turiaf wants to bring 'Caribbean flavor' to Wolves
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- Ronny Turiaf was trying to find an adjective to describe the potential he saw with his new team, the Minnesota Timberwolves
When the right word was a struggle to locate, the eight-year NBA journeyman improvised a bit.
"There is a lot of specialness (here)," Turiaf said with a grin.
Two months after the Wolves signed the 30-year-old center/forward to a two-year, $3.2 million deal in June, Turiaf was finally officially introduced Wednesday in an unique press conference at the Ronald McDonald House in Minneapolis.
Turiaf was part of a flurry of offseason moves made by Wolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders in an attempt to create a legitimate playoff caliber squad around the team's own "big three" -- Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love and newly re-signed center Nikola Pekovic.
It was that strengthening core group that sparked Turiaf's interest when Saunders delivered his initial pitch.
"When Flip called me to express interest, it was a funny moment for me, because deep down inside, my gut was telling me that's where I would end up," Turiaf said.
"When it did happen officially, I felt like I was a rookie here in the sense that I am so excited about joining this team because of what they already are and what I can bring to the table."
Turiaf's numbers are far from flashy. In the last four seasons, he's averaged 3.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and one block per game with five different teams (Golden State, New York, Washington and the Los Angeles Clippers).
But Turiaf is a role player, and one who has playoff experience. Originally drafted by the Lakers in 2005 out of Gonzaga, Turiaf has been part of playoff runs in six of his eight seasons, including an appearance in the 2008 NBA Finals with the Lakers and a championship ring from his brief stint with the 2012 Miami Heat.
Even with Turiaf's minutes likely to be limited, Saunders wanted a presence on his bench that could serve to fill an undefined, but needed role.
He thinks he has that in Turiaf.
"It is the intangibles," Saunders said. "Whether it's a great player or a role player, there's a lot of players that can't make others better I judge by what can you do to make your teammates better. That's what Ronny does."
Turiaf will be expected to be a backup option in the post behind the 6-foot-11, 291-pound Pekovic and Co., as well as a mentor to rookie center Giorgui Dieng.
Bringing what he calls a little "Caribbean flavor" to Minnesota, Turiaf, a native of Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean sea, puts the Wolves' current total of international players at six.
As a member of the French national team, Turiaf is no stranger to facing his quick-handed point guard teammate, Ricky Rubio. But this time he's looking forward to the view from the other side.
"I'm tired of playing against Ricky with Spain. It's good to be on his good side," Turiaf said.
The Wolves are set to open their preseason training camp in less than three weeks.

When it comes to building your local target market through social media strategy, it's best to explore your many options. When it comes to social media, the following four networks are great for creating an online presence for your brand within your local market:
Facebook Fan Pages – FB fan pages are a great way to profile your brand online. They are crawled by search engines, which means SEO optimization helps to put them at the top of search engine results. By using local keywords, such as your company's city, you can target your marketing to local markets.
Twitter – Twitter allows users to find and follow businesses based on keyword searches. Therefore, by referencing your local market in your profile, as well as your tweets, you raise the chances of being followed by local tweeters.
LinkedIn – This is the social network that was created specifically for businesses. Network members can find you based on your industry. Your business can also be targeted based on location searches, raising your brand awareness within your local market.
YouTube – Many online users have heard of YouTube. But, it's amazing how many businesses don't know the benefits of using YouTube social media strategy for marketing purposes. Not only does it provide a cost efficient way to showcase a commercial online, it's great for targeting a specific group. By using SEO keywords within your tags, you can ensure that your local market is targeted to view your marketing videos.
Local Targeting Social Media Networks
Some social media networks specialize in promoting your business to local markets. Many are free to set up your business profile. They provide great tools for monitoring and tracking your traffic statistics. Here are four of these local social media strategy networks:
YELP – This is an online guide that helps users find interesting places within a specific city. Places to eat, exercise, dance, shop, even play can be found based on city-wide searches. Yelp also provides reviews and feedback on local companies.
Insider Pages – This provides the same social media strategy highlights as YELP does, profiling companies that can be searched for within local city markets.
CitySearch – This platform is like YELP and Insider Pages in some ways. CitySearch provides business information by categories. These categories are set-up to profile businesses within a local city area, as well.
MerchantCircle – This is an business directory service that acts almost in the same manner as traditional yellow pages websites. The difference is that MerchantCircle combines their directory with business social networking sites to help market your business online. This social media marketing can be targeted towards a local market for your social media strategy.
Integrating Your Content Blog with Your Social Media Strategy
Your social media strategy should aim to integrate with your content blog to gain more exposure. The more exposure your site gets through online searches, the more traffic is driven to your site. This integration process is vital to your site's success. When your social media strategy is aimed at targeting local markets, you help to create a presence for your brand that helps to also bring foot-traffic to your business. Here are a few tips for this local social media strategy:
Online Reviews – Allow and encourage your online visitors to write reviews and testimonials about your products, services and business. Press releases and other news, highlighted on your social media networks can help to spread the word.
Landing Page – Create a landing page for your website that targets your local audience with local information, including your store-front hours of operation, services provided within your area and other local area information related to your niche.
Local Deals – Provide digital coupons that can be used locally in your store or on your website. Be sure to provide these deals online using your social media network, with your local market as SEO keywords.
Email Newsletters – These provide a great interactive way to keep your local market informed on specials and deals you are promoting locally. This is usually for services and products that are popular in your local region, within your niche.
Use Social Media for Local Advertising
Social media strategy is a global marketing tool. But, it is also great for marketing your business to your local target market, as well. It's an innovative way of putting your online marketing on auto-pilot. Your social media strategy will be working to target your local market even when you aren't.

Tampa, Florida --John Scalise, 35,and his wife, 41-year-old Kathy Garcia, are behind bars after deputies linked them to $101,000 worth of stolen jewelry, and the robberies of at least six Asian restaurants across the country.
Last month, Hillsborough deputies identified Scalise as the suspect wanted for stealing $35,000 worth of jewelry from the Sears Department Store at University Square Mall.
Through combined efforts of the several police agencies in Florida as well as South Carolina, investigators discovered Scalise was also a suspect in numerous burglaries to Asian Restaurants across those jurisdictions.
Hillsborough Sheriff's detectives found out Scalise and Garcia may be in the area of Atlantic City, NJ, and they worked alongside Egg Harbor Township Police to locate the couple on Saturday.
By that time, Scalise reportedly burglarized a Macy's Department Store in Egg Harbor Township, and six more Asian Restaurants in surrounding townships.
Scalise stole $66,000 in jewelry from Macy's, officials say.
Investigatorsrecovered approximately $30,000 worth of jewelry from the Sears burglary, $66,000 worth of jewelry from Macy's, $3,000 in cash and merchandise and a "unique mask that was worn in multiple cases in Hillsborough County," officials report.
Scalise and Garcia are now being held in the Atlantic Detention Facility in New Jersey. Officials denied Scalise bond, and Garcia is being held on a $100,000 bond.

WATERTOWN — Two state prison inmates have been indicted on allegations that they possessed weapons while incarcerated at Cape Vincent Correctional Facility.
Marcel N. Smith, 33, now an inmate at Mohawk Correctional Facility, and Mamadou Fofana, 27, now at Riverview Correctional Facility, Ogdensburg, each are charged with first-degree promoting prison contraband and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
The charges were contained in grand jury indictments handed up Wednesday in Jefferson County Court.
It is alleged that during a random check Nov. 29 at the Cape Vincent prison, Mr. Smith possessed a 3-inch sharpened nail with a masking tape handle with the intent to use it as a weapon against another and that Mr. Fofana possessed a toothbrush with a razor blade melted into it, also with the intent to use it as a weapon.
According to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website, Mr. Smith is serving a seven-year prison sentence imposed in 2012 in Albany County for a second-degree criminal possession of a weapon conviction, while Mr. Fofana is serving a 10-year sentence imposed in 2009 in Westchester County for a first-degree robbery conviction.
Other indictments handed up include:
Eugene Muhammad Jr., 48, Watertown, is charged with aggravated criminal contempt, two counts of first-degree criminal contempt, third-degree assault, second-degree harassment and endangering the welfare of a child. It is alleged that on May 2 in Watertown he violated a City Court order of protection by striking Anne M. Walton in the face and pulling her hair, resulting in cuts, bruising and substantial pain. It also is alleged that he placed Ms. Walton in fear of injury by displaying a knife. It is further claimed that he violated an order of protection issued on behalf of an 8-year-old boy by grabbing the youth by an arm and shoving him into stereo equipment, causing a bruise to the child's forehead.
Michael P. Hills, 48, address not available, faces counts of first-degree rape and first-degree sexual abuse. It is alleged that on Aug. 17 in the town of Orleans he engaged in sexual intercourse with a 25-year-old woman who was incapable of giving her consent by reason of being physically helpless.
Kylen M. Smith, 21, address not available, is charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and speeding. It is alleged that his vehicle was traveling at 84 mph in a 65 mph zone on Sept. 28 on Interstate 81 in the town of Watertown and that his driver's license had at least 10 suspensions against it at the time.

Fast way to play Risk! Addictive!
Terrific game and app. Very addictive and very good for teaching one how to play the game well and formulate winning strategies. I would have given this 5 stars but there are two glaring issues that I would like to see EA fix to earn a perfect rating.
First, while there are modes for "play and pass" (share iPad with friends around a room) and LAN multiplayer (great if your friends are all on the same local network), this game really deserves online multiplayer with integration to Game Center. I would love to play this with my son who is away at college.
Second, after getting quite good at this (over 100 games played now), I can beat the computer (single player mode) in Easy or Medium mode every single time. That said, there is a very unrealistic jump in difficulty from Medium to Expert mostly driven by tampered dice rolls. Results of dice rolls are very obviously not "random" in Expert mode, which I feel is wrong to mess with. Odds are odds and dice rolls shouldn't get harder despite "more skilled" players. I don't feel like they should mess with the dice rolls but leave odds alone and just make the other bots "smarter" about their offense and defense as would be the case in real life playing other people. Leave the odds of chance alone.
Sinister Ads
While the Application License Agreement states that they can serve you up ads, they implementation is horrendous. BUYER BEWARE!!! They will implement push notifications on the front end of your app AND have a scrolling marquee at the top asking you if you want to buy Tetris. this causes the app to crash and there is no recourse. NO I don't want Tetris on my iPad, I just want to play the game without you pushing out a feature that crashes the game.
Use your head EA, don't push out something like this on a Saturday morning and then have no developers available to: (a) roll back the update and kill this feature until it is actually working; or (b) put out an update like this during the week when you actually have some developers available to fix the problem.
You lost some serious brand equity today with your consumers. I hope you make it up for those who paid a premium for this app by offering some deep discounts on your other ones in the app store... only DON'T tell us about it by a push notification or ticker at the top of the version of Risk which I am "licensing" from your company.
Surprisingly good
Now that the Eurogames are growing in popularity, the long-ignored faults of old board game standbys like Monopoly and Risk are becoming quite visible. Both these games have certain problems in common: both tend to be over long before they end, requesting players see a lengthy campaign through to a foregone conclusion even when that might mean an hour or more of play left to come. And both are games of strategy that masquerade as games of luck, but in which the role of luck is perhaps too great (that's much worse with Monopoly).
But with this version of Risk, by automating many of the aspects that make the game so long (most notably the many interminable die rolls that make turns drag on forever), is probably more fun to play than the actual board game. This improves Risk's worth as a game tremendously; once it's obvious one player will win, the time until his victory is secured is wonderfully shortened. It, doesn't obscure the fact that Risk is mostly a fairly simple troop maintenance and die-rolling game, but it does make it much easier to enjoy it for what it is.

This a a vision from Mario Mancebo, the director for the senior
daycare center. He feels that the senior daycare center, furthermore
referred to as The Center, is a vital resource not only for the
community, but to seniors in general. Most seniors are confined all
day to the same building and same routine. This will get them out
of that routine and break up their day. It will allow them to
socialize with their peer group and interact with and make new
friends in the process. This will make it an exciting part
of their week. Activities will range from music, arts and crafts,
baking and dancing activities as well. These are just some of
what will be offered. On top of that, a vital part of a seniors life is
making sure that their medical issues are monitored or checkups
provided. This will be offered from day one with qualified
medical personnel attending every day.
Overall I fell that this resource be made available to our seniors.
We will make sure that they are not only available, but available
in a very pleasant setting with comfortable arrangements all
around them.
The company is structured for beginning of life and approaching
end of life services and daycare. We cater to the young as a
daycare facility and after school programs for children. Working
parents have a resource for subsidized child care from 6 months
old and older. We provide all day care for these children. They are
feed breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner if needed. We also have
book reading and several play activities along with nap periods
according to age.
After school, we provide activities for these children as well. These
activities include computer learning and games, homework time

Kendra Wilkinson Will Appear on Mindy Kaling's The Mindy Project, Season 2
Add Kendra Wilkinson to The Mindy Project's already long list of celebrity guest stars! The 28-year-old TV personality is set to appear on creator and star Mindy Kaling's hit FOX comedy in an upcoming episode this season!
"[It's a] funny little part and my friend Jeremy [Bronson] wrote [it]," Kaling, 34, revealed to Us Weekly at the post-Emmys Governors Ball on Sunday, Sept. 22. "A really funny script and she's in it!"
PHOTOS: Emmys 2013 -- inside all the star-packed parties!
Back for its sophomore season, Dr. Lahiri [Kaling] has just returned from Haiti and is newly engaged. NBA star and Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries is also set to appear this season playing himself, but that won't be the case for the former Playboy beauty.
"She will be playing a character," a source tells Us. "Mindy is a huge fan of Kendra's and asked her to do one episode. Kendra is so excited!"
PHOTOS: Playboy's sexiest celebrity models
In fact, Kaling previously mentioned the blonde stunner in Episode 21 of the first season. In the "Santa Fe" episode Lahiri's ex-boyfriend reads off a tweet that Kaling's character previously sent to Wilkinson's husband, Hank Baskett. "@TheHankBaskett, I'm flying to your home state tonight. I think you and Kendra have a beautiful relationship #bigfan," the faux tweet read.
PHOTOS: Dunder Mifflin's most memorable romances
Other previous guest stars have included Ed Helms, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, Seth Rogen and Chloe Sevigny. James Franco is the most current guest star, playing Lahiri's replacement Paul Leotard. Former Happy Endings actor Adam Pally -- originally set to recur as a guest star -- was recently bumped up to a series regular.

This is a great time to become an OSU Cowboy or Cowgirl.
Under the direction of President Burns Hargis, OSU continues to be the launching point for the future.
This is a great time to become an OSU Cowboy or Cowgirl.
Under the direction of President Burns Hargis, OSU continues to be the launching point for the future.
OSU is a thriving, growing university. Freshman enrollment has grown 23 percent, an increase of more than 700 freshmen from 2009 to fall 2013. OSU has averaged more than 4,000 freshmen over those years.
Several of OSU's colleges are leaders in academics. OSU's aeronautical engineering program is recognized as one of the best, and the College of Education has been recognized as Oklahoma's best for training teachers. The College of Osteopathic Medicine at OSU's Center for Health Sciences in Tulsa is a national leader in preparing physicians and is working to increase quality medical care in the state's rural areas.
Research is the cornerstone of discovery and true learning and attracts outstanding students. OSU offers many opportunities, beginning with the Freshman Research Scholar program.
This year, the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service celebrates 100 years of service. Extension is in each of the state's 77 counties, taking education directly to the public. Programs focus on increasing opportunities for agricultural enterprises; natural resources and environmental management; food, nutrition, health and safety education; and youth, family and community development.
For all of these reasons and more, OSU is gaining more and more fans, as seen in the growth of licensed apparel and other products since fiscal year 2009-10.
In that time, overall licensing has grown nearly 70 percent. Sale of licensed apparel has increased 72 percent. The total estimated retail growth has gone from $27 million to $45 million. Sales of co-branded Eskimo Joe's products alone now total more than $1.3 million.

George Harrison was known for his incredible sense of humor and, if he were with us today, he would find this story absolutely hilarious. A tree planted in his memory in Los Angeles will have to be replaced because it was overrun by, of all things, real beetles. Because you can't make this up.
The tree had been planted in 2004 in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, near the Griffith Observatory, and could have lived forever, just like Harrison's music will. However, The Los Angeles Times reports that the three has died thanks to an insect infestation, Los Angeles Councilman Tom LaBonge said. Actual beetles - not Beatles - took down the tree.
The tree reached 10 feet tall by last year. It recognizes Harrison's personal love of gardening and that he spent most of his later years in Los Angeles. LaBonge did not say when the tree will be replanted.
