I have been writing and rewriting this post in my head for quite some time. Trouble is, it's either too positive or too negative or too mushy or too completely full of half truths. Because, the reality of motherhood, the nitty gritty truth of motherhood is tricky. It's hard to describe and incredibly difficult for me to arrange these complicated thoughts in my little head.
I remember when Bitzy was a baby and I would hear people talk about how hard motherhood was and I would roll my head-in-the-clouds eyes and sigh. "What is so hard about it?" I'd think. "It's the best, most amazing adventure ever in the history of the whole wide world!" I would see well meaning mommies tweet about hiding in the bathroom for just a minute of peace and I would sigh and judge them and feel sorry for their bad attitude.
And still, 3 years and 3 kids later I still say a resounding YES that being a mommy is the most amazing, incredible, exhilarating adventure that I could ever dream of being a part of. It is 100% my dream come true and I cannot imagine not being a stay at home mommy. Just the thought of not being with them throughout the day, everyday, puts me in a panic. But, (of course there is a "but"), it's also hard.
This has been a plaguing heartache of mine over the past year or so. I really wanted to be THE ONE Mommy who would never utter those words. In my heart of hearts I wanted to be the Mommy who had obedient children who never fight, never had an attitude problem, always napped, never cried and who are practically perfect in every way. I wanted to be an example for tired mommies everywhere, that a positive attitude and kind spirit holds the key to a happy mommy, fulfilled husband and mostly perfect babies.
But friends I'm here to tell you, I'm not her. I'm not sure if "she" exists, but I can tell you right now, it ain't me.
And again, it's hard to write and even harder to process. If being a mommy and wife is my dream job and I admit it's hard, does that mean that I'm not cut out for it? Does that mean that I am failing?
We all begin motherhood all hopeful with wide eyes and full hearts and think that we can't lose. This is why the first time I felt the crazy panic sweep over me because Bitzy wouldn't stop crying…like, would not stop crying people, I thought I was flawed somehow. That my dream was a hoax that I would never be the mommy that I dreamed I would be. That we were all doomed.
I know it sounds dramatic, because it is dramatic! And in the moment it's even more dramatic.
I've cried, prayed, talked to friends, poured my heart out to my beloved Zach and they all say the same thing, "What you're doing is hard, very hard. What you feel is normal and I have felt that way too."
Other people feel enormously guilty for not enjoying every single minute of every single day, even with the crying, whining, disobedience and minute-by-minute training? Other people feel overwhelmed with playing, crafting and being a spiritual and relational teacher throughout the day but still having a clean house and cooking three meals every day? Other people wake up every morning feeling energetic and hopeful and by naptime have no energy and no patience to match?
I can't tell you what a relief that is.
Even still, I desire in my heart of hearts to be different…to be the exception. To be full of grace and truth and LOVE for my babies. To have patience and a wealth of hope that every minute will be special and they will see Christ in me.
For me, just admitting that it's hard has helped. To know that I'm not alone that God is my help and that you ladies and gents are fighting the good fight with me gives me great comfort. But I don't want to park in the hardness. I want to admit it and get on with it.
I want to smile when a well meaning person says, "It goes so fast, enjoy every minute." Of course I will vow under my breath to never, ever say those words to a young mother when my babies are older. Because it does go fast, that's why admitting it's hard seems so much like failure.
But it's not failure. The hardness just reminds me that I need a Savior all the more.
I'm learning that resting in the hope of Christ when I feel tired and guilty and weary isn't hard at all.
I need you, oh I need you. Every hour I need you sweet Jesus.

10 weeks of declines snapped, but diesel prices expected to continue to fall
Posted By Wayne Grayson On May 14, 2013 @ 12:12 pm In Construction News | No Comments
[1]A 10-week streak of decreases in the price of on-highway diesel fuel was snapped this week as the national average rose 2 cents to $3.86 per gallon. However, the Department of Energy, which compiles the price data, has forecast that diesel prices will continue to fall.
According to this week's price data, diesel prices are nearly 14 cents cheaper than they were a year ago at this time. And as our sister site Overdrive recently reported [2], the DOE's Short Term Energy Outlook Report sees prices falling considerably over the next year and a half.
Due to sharp drops in crude oil per-barrel prices, the 2013 average diesel price is expected to finish at $3.92, 5 cents lower than the 2012 average. And in 2014, the DOE sees diesel dropping another 14 cents to an average of $3.78 per gallon.
Recently, consumer interest in diesel has sharply increased. Diesel car and SUV registrations rose 24 percent in the last two years [3] and automakers are increasing the number of models available with a diesel option.
Diesel interest has surged as consumers look for more fuel-efficient options, but the biggest barrier to widespread adoption remains price—both the upfront additional cost of a diesel engine and the price at the pump.
It will be interesting to see if additional adoption of the fuel contributes to the DOE's forecast of continued decreases, or vice versa.

First Page: Unnamed Paranormal
Welcome to First Page Saturday. Individual authors anonymously send a first page read and critiqued by the Dear Author community of authors, readers and industry others. Anyone is welcome to comment. You may comment anonymously.
Tor hadn't planed on killing anyone today but a male at the back was earning himself a future measured in minutes. What the eternal bells was she doing in his audience hall? Bastard had better not touch her.
Soft leather shifted as his body tightened with tension. Claws extended to grip the throne arms then disappeared. She did this, forced him to think about controlling his reactions. Low in his gut burned more than lust. It was need he couldn't escape and couldn't endure forever.
Tall for a pure humanoid, her perfectly proportioned body drew male eyes no matter how simply she dressed. It was probably impossible to disguise firm muscles giving her sleek curves. Tor wouldn't mind if she tried though. The simple dress highlighted natural beauty instead of concealing it.
Elegant bone structure created perfect features. It was just unnecessary over-kill that each feature also embodied whatever it took to rouse a male libido. Eyes slightly larger than average gave her innocent appeal that naturally led a male to speculate what it'd take to turn those silver eyes sultry. Sculpted cheek bones under delicate smooth skin, distinctly humanoid nose above lush lips made any view of her profile fascinating to a Leonor male. Long neck above gently sloped shoulders naturally drew the eye down to the perfection of her body.
Tor hated that but erotic allure wafted around her. Not normal sex one thought of when looking at a beautiful female. No. With her it was edgy and dark. Something about her grace of movement, casual coordination and fluid muscle control made it easy to imagine her body straining under a much larger Leonor.
Tor didn't want the male behind her imagining another moment. Not right there in front of him. She'd entered his domain and in this building he didn't have to watch her captivate another.
"Why is the Beloved of my Brother standing in line to speak with me?" Tor questioned his Visor, ignoring the two males arguing their dispute before him.
"She insisted, My Lord," Karloff, High Visor, bowed as he responded.
"Unacceptable," Tor snapped.
Thick muscles bunched as he rose from the throne. Well over seven feet tall, the dark ruffed Leonor king was an imposing figure as he looped off the dais.
Offense rippled through him but it couldn't come close to his strongest response as he neared the woman. She drew him with such power. His eyes never left her from the moment he realized she was in his lair. He didn't even try to politely glance away. Now the back of his neck burned as he covered the distance separating them.
"Beloved of my Brother," High King Tor greeted Princes Sahara
Tor inhaled deeply while reaching for her slim hand. Subtle scents washed through him, her scent, complex but as elusive as the woman. He always had the fleeting impression of moonrise when she neared him, as if that event has a scent.

* I was at KidLitCon last weekend, when Team Human by Justine Larbalestier & Sarah Rees Brennan was announced — but Justine's proud hubby Scott Westerfeld showed me the cover on his phone & told me all about the book, describing it as "Twilight from the best friend's perspective." And yeah, he sold me. It sounds awesome:
A girl and a vampire fall madly in love… The girl's best friend is deeply unimpressed.
* Hilary Graham also unveiled the cover for her upcoming debut novel, Reunited. I met Hilary at BEA earlier this year & got to chat with her about this book — and frankly, it sounds great!
1 Concert
2,000 Miles
3 Ex-Best Friends
Alice, Summer, and Tiernan are ex-best friends.
Back in middle school, the three girls were inseparable. They were also the number one fans of the rock band Level3.
But when the band broke up, so did their friendship. Summer ran with the popular crowd, Tiernan was a rebellious wild-child, and Alice spent high school with her nose buried in books.
Now, just as the girls are about to graduate, Level3 announces a one-time-only reunion show.
Even though the concert's 2000 miles away, Alice buys three tickets on impulse. And as it turns out, Summer and Tiernan have their own reasons for wanting to get out of town. Good thing Alice's graduation gift (a pea-green 1976 VW camper van know as the Pea Pod) is just the vehicle to get them there.
But on the long drive cross-country, the girls hit more than a few bumps in the road. Will their friendship get an encore or is the show really over?
* Clarity by Kim Harrington has a GORGEOUS new cover for its upcoming paperback release, which matches the design for the upcoming sequel Perception:
* We also finally got the plot synopsis for Insurgent by Veronica Roth, the highly anticipated sequel to Divergent:
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
* Our good friend Savanna New from Picktainment. com interviewed Cassandra Clare to talk about her phenomenal Mortal Instruments series & the upcoming City of Bones movie:
Do you think Clary Fray (the protagonist of The Mortal Instruments) would get along with Harry Potter? We know he has a thing for redheads…
Well, as Simon says in City of Fallen Angels, "Clary has a boyfriend. The nuclear bomb of boyfriends." So I think they would be strictly platonic, but sure, they'd get along. They could complain about how it sucks to always have to be battling the evil dude.
* Some great book trailers were released this week, including one that has got to be the sexiest book trailer I've ever seen for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin:
* You can now also check out the trailer for A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, a book that looks absolutely stunning & which I can't wait to read. I heard Patrick talk about working on this book last year when he was at Wordstock, and I've been anticipating its release ever since:
* There's also a pretty spectacular trailer now available for Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver, her first middle grade novel. It also features an original song inspired by the book:
* And the fabulous Stasia Ward Kehoe also unveiled the trailer for her book Audition:
* Summit Entertainment has announced that the first single from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Soundtrack will be "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars. The complete track listing will be unveiled Monday, and the soundtrack goes on sale Nov. 8th.

Musician Steve Earle performs tonight at John Ascuaga's Nugget. / Getty Images
If you goWho: Steve Earle
When: 8 p.m. tonight
Where: John Ascuagas Nuggets Celebrity Showroom
Cost: $30.80
Details: 775-356-3300, www.janugget.com or www.steveearle.com
Musician Steve Earle said he isnt a typical casino performer. Yet hell be performing a solo show Thursday in the Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuagas Nugget. That means fans likely are in for a treat.
Im not casino material for the most part, said Earle, 58, recently by phone. Not that I have anything against playing in a casino. I just dont get asked often.
In part, its because Earles music is often raw, edgy and based on his real-life experiences, not all of which have been pleasant. They include addiction to hard drugs, and time in jail because of it.
By contrast, they also include his current family life in New York City with wife Allison Moorer, who is the younger sister of Shelby Lynne, and the couples son, John Henry, 2. Earle also has an older son, Justin Townes, from a previous marriage.
Its the ability to express his life through lyric and song that forges a connection between Earle and his fans at least those who have heard of him.
His music, an eclectic blend of country, rockabilly, folk, and rock, leaves little space for Earle to get radio airplay save for small, adult-alternative stations. But those who do know him keep coming back for more.
Ive got a few hundred people scattered around the world that come whenever Im in their area, he said. There are a few extremists that can pop up literally anywhere in the world. Theres about a handful of them, that I know of.
Those are the fans that cherish and know of Earle the musician. A lot of fans learned only recently of Earle through his acting appearances on HBOs The Wire and Treme. Earle portrayed a recovering drug addict and counselor in The Wire and he plays the role of a musician in Treme.
The Wire is one of the best shows ever on television, he said. Its weird because not that many people saw the show when it was on HBO. But now that its (in syndication), Ill be walking down the street and people will stop me. Its all about The Wire. It has a huge cult following all over the world.
Although acclaimed for his work on both shows, neither role was much of a stretch for Earle. He spent time in jail in the early 1990s for heroin and cocaine possession. Hes been sober for about 17 years, he said.
The younger fans that go to his shows, Earle said, come from a different arena.
The fans younger than 50 have come largely from politics, he said. Ive been pretty active (and) Ive got kind of a big mouth. I dont keep to myself politically. I feel a responsibility not to. I dont think everybody has to do it, but I feel Im putting something back (into society) when I do.
Take, for example, Earles song and video Thinking About Burning Wal-Mart Down, which will appear on his upcoming, but as-yet-untitled album this April. Earle laughed when asked if he thought the giant retailer would sell his record.
Well see what happens, he said. Theres a vinyl single coming out too. Im not too concerned.
Earle does have concern for what he views as a very important time in human history.
I think were at a really crucial point, said Earle, who supported President Obama during the last election.
Earle is a big supporter of debate, as he feels talking is the best way to solve problems non-violently. However, the misperceptions surrounding certain politicians and issues often cloud the talks, he said.
I voted for him (Obama) but Im not a democrat, Earle said. Im a socialist. Im a real, live socialist in a country with no socialist party. People who are worried about Obama being a socialist can stop. Hes (Bill) Clinton and a bag of chips. Hes a pretty f------ moderate democrat. As for being a socialist, I promise you hes not even close.
Earle, a native Texan, also is a staunch advocate against capital punishment.
Too much death
He wrote a song in 1999 about his feelings, Over Yonder (Jonathans Song), after an inmate on death row asked Earle to witness his execution.
He didnt have anybody else to do it, Earle said. I didnt know what to say. It was a dying mans wish, so I couldnt say no. I dont recommend it, though. I stood about 10 feet away from him, separated only by a pane of glass, while the state of Texas killed him.
I think Ive absorbed as much death as I can. That definitely finished me off. Now, I dont even kill spiders. Ill scoop em up and take em outside.
Earle then quickly recited his favorite Haiku, written about 200 years ago by Kobayashi Issa.
I think the best translation is Fear not spiders for/I keep house casually, Earle said. I think thats pretty cool.
Earle, too, is an author. He released in 2012 a book of short stories, Doghouse Roses: Stories and a novel, Ill Never Get Out of This World Alive, which his the title of his last album, also from 2011.
Im not real good at not doing anything, he said.
For relaxation, Earle enjoys fly fishing. He also is a huge New York Yankees fan.
Im a 162-game plus playoffs kind of fan, he said. I have every way you can follow Major League Baseball. I get the YES Network and MLB.TV (via satellite) on my bus. Im bad. I havent started keeping score yet, but Im headed there. Of course, this is certainly better than some of the other things Ive done in my life.
I used to gamble back in the 70s and early 80s, he said. Once I started making money and was financially secure, it (betting) wasnt fun anymore and so I just stopped doing it. When it didnt threaten my livelihood it stopped being fun.
That was kind of perverse.

The DMC I has two modes: TR Variable Discriminate and VLF Ground Balance. These two modes can be monitored at the same time. The advantage of this is that once the VLF ground balance has been adjusted for the area you are hunting, you will find that the more conductive the target, the weaker the sensitivity of that target on the ground balance side. For example, an aluminum pull-tab can be detected deeper than a quarter which is approximately the same size. When using the TR Discriminator, the very opposite happens...the quarter can be detected deeper than the pull tap. The Major advantage to listening to both modes at the same time is that now only can you tell whether a target is good or bad, but how good the target is.
A Word About Nautilus Search coils
All coils have thick mounting lugs and a heavy duty cable strain relief. There are no "whimpy" cable connectors used on the DMC I. All connectors are strictly heavy-duty, nickel plated with a threaded clamp ring. Nautilus search coils and the entire quality parts inventory of Nautilus construction are engineered to keep you in the field longer. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the DMC I construction.

Riverdale's quarterback Dillon Woodruff dives into the end zone for a touchdown against Oakland on Friday night.
- Filed Under
The Battle of the 'Boro became a battle of attrition Friday night.
In the end, Riverdale limped away with a 17-14 win over Oakland at Patriot Field with Riverdale's best player on one sideline injured and at least a pair of Oakland running backs out with injuries.
Riverdale quarterback Dillon Woodruff sustained a right ankle sprain in the third quarter that left him unable to run the offense effectively and forced backup Chanton Pace into the game. ...

Fat and weight lifting
Weight lifting builds muscle, which increases overall body strength, tone, and balance. Muscles burn calories more efficiently than fat and other body tissues. Lifting weights is an effective way to burn calories because increasing muscle mass may help to increase your metabolic rate.
If proper technique is followed, most people of any age can safely lift weights. It is important, however, to check with your doctor before you start to train with weights. Also, consult an experienced personal trainer or coach prior to beginning a weight lifting program. This can help prevent injuries and the loss of muscle strength and endurance that occurs with bed rest and inactivity.
Those recovering from heart attacks can benefit greatly from supervised cardiac rehabilitation programs.

In the paintings on view at Guglhupf, Lisa returns to her roots: abstraction. She works in layers of paint and etches back and forth through previous layers to expose earlier marks and colors. Graphite is an addition that allows her to draw and make notes about what is going on around her.
Lisa seeks both minimalism and complexity. Busy areas contrast with quiet spots. Shades of white initially seem the same and then, on closer view, are distinctly different. Lisa wants the viewer to be drawn in and to visually excavate these paintings. She wants to engage the viewer to see the whole work then deconstruct it to individual parts and then to stand back and see the whole work once again.

Your horse is beautiful!! What is the name of his color? I am kinda new and still trying to learn all the different types of colors lol Yeah the cleaning department is no fun! I think he tries his best to look like his half brother :P They do look shaped like each other! I honestly have yet to see a Rocky Mountain horse that looks like yours!
He is buckskin. They visually look a lot like palominos but with black points, manes, and tails. Also like Palos, there is quite a range of gold from pale to deep gold.
Palomino pics
palomino horse - Google Search
Buckskin pics
buckskin horse - Google Search
And yes, mud somehow seems so much darker and dirtier on a light colored horse! LOL
Shape... yep no mistaking the near non-existent back. Make saddle fitting so much fun!
You know, now that you mention it I haven't seen another palo or buckskin Rocky either. Just the chocolates (beautiful!) or bays and chestnuts. And I can certainly say I have Never seen a striped one before!
Maybe this year you could do a skeleton, but in black and put his hair up in a mowhawk. Tell everyone it is a reverse x-ray, or that he stuck his hoof in a light socket.

The Dragon Ritual Drummers began their journey in the early 2000's as the favourites in the Pagan festival circuit in Ontario Canada. They have since moved on to play at pagan festivals and large mainstream events all over North America.
The award winning troupe is comprised of 7 members; Utu, Flint, Thunderbird, Adrian, Drago, Naresh and Eion. All members play a variety of instruments including tribal drums, string instruments, as well as brass and archaic reed instruments heard in the ancient hills and valleys of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Their music and performances are creative, intense and powerful. They bring the audience to their feet dancing as they are swept away in the intense beat of music, inspired from around the world and through the ages.
The lore of the Dragon Ritual Drummers is attached to the entity from which they take their name, the mythical dragon spirit that resides in an ethereal cave at the brink of Niagara Falls. The ancient serpent spirit was once revered by aboriginal inhabitants of the region but was eventually cast into a negative legacy by the conquering Iroquois nation. The serpents legacy was one of obscurity for generations. From the beginning the the Dragon Ritual Drummers reached out to awaken the ancient water dragon spirit, and the rest as they say is history in the making. The Dragon Ritual Drummers attribute much of their success to the dragon spirit, achieving unprecedented success for their musical genres world wide. Their interactive and critically acclaimed CD "The Epic: A Drum Opera" tells the story of the Niagara dragon from the ice age to modern times, all with drums and percussion along with beautiful illustrations. They currently are promoting their newest single, "Zulu Dawn".
They have been featured in numerous mainstream and Pagan media, for years they owned the #1 ranking on the Canadian MySpace music charts for the genres of "Afro-beat" and "Tropical", and are currently ranked #1 for their genre of World Music on ReverbNation! In 2012 they were voted best band on the American Conjure Community Awards.

text: Buying a Python While Drunk Never a Good Idea Brit gets 8 weeks in prison after ill-advised purchase By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Mar 26, 2013 3:54 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (4) (Newser) – A UK man's party purchase almost killed his sleeping buddy. While Dwayne Matthews was drinking with friends, a van arrived whose driver was selling a stolen 10-foot-long python, his lawyer tells the Coventry Telegraph. "In his wisdom, and no doubt egged on by his inebriated friends," Matthews took him up on the offer. The next morning, he walked into the room where his friend was sleeping; the African rock snake was "rearing up at (the friend) in an S-shape, its jaws open like a cobra," the lawyer says. To his credit, Matthews tossed a blanket over the snake and got it back into its glass tank. Then he tried to sell it to a local pet shop, which had gotten wind of a recent snake theft and called police. Matthews got sentenced to eight weeks in prison after admitting receiving stolen goods. "He didn't decide to get rid of it by dumping it in a bin," says his lawyer. "He was doing the best he could to remedy the situation." A guy bought an African rock snake only to have it attempt violence on his friend.

H. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA") Plaintiffs contend that Sony violated the CFAA by "knowingly caus[ing] the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally caus[ing] damage without authorization, to a protected computer." 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5)(A)(i). Sony argues that it did not act "without authorization" either because the terms of the software license permitted it to take the actions it did, or because plaintiffs' "voluntarily" downloaded Update 3.21, knowing the effect it would have. At this juncture, Sony has not conclusively established that disabling a PS3 capability of the nature of the Other OS feature is within the scope of the license agreement provisions on which it relies, nor has it shown that those plaintiffs who downloaded the Update thereby necessarily "authorized" the removal of the feature within the meaning of the statute. Accordingly, this prong of the motion will be denied, without prejudice to Sony's ability to challenge any CFAA claim in an amended complaint, based on the same or expanded arguments.
Plaintiffs' proposed class definition includes: "All persons who purchased, in the United States and its territories, a new PS3 with the Open Platform feature for personal use and not for resale and continued to own the PS3 on March 27, 2010." Complaint ¶ 70. This definition readily identifies a specific class, namely consumers that purchased a specific product, the PS3, and who still owned the PS3 on a specific date (March 27, 2010).
Sony's motion to dismiss is granted, with the exception of the claim under CFAA. The motion to strike is denied. Plaintiffs shall file any amended complaint within 20 days of the date of this order.

Police History: Officer J.D. Tippit was more than merely Oswald's "other victim"
Officer J.D. Tippit was a perfect example of the "Greatest Generation" — a generation of Americans whose epic stories of victory, valor, and sacrifice are destined to echo throughout history
The son of a cotton farmer, J.D. Tippit was raised in the Red River Valley area in eastern Texas. This peaceful existence was interrupted by World War II, when he joined the army and volunteered for Airborne.
Tippit earned a purple heart and a bronze star in heavy combat with the vaunted 17th Airborne Division, whose motto was "Thunder from Heaven." He saw heavy combat in the Battle of the Bulge and in March of 1945 parachuted across the Rhine into Germany to help deliver the death blow to the Third Reich.
After the war, J.D. married the love of his life, Marie Frances Gasway. Their union would eventually be blessed with three children. In 1952, Tippit gave up cotton farming for good to join the Dallas Police Department, and it is here where we examine in greater detail the story of his heroic life.
First Arrest
He quickly whisked him away telling the crowd that they could go about their business because there was "nothing to see here, folks."
As Tippit reached his squad, he and his brother shared a good laugh and the young officer released him.
Tippit immediately loved police work, and in spite of such a light-hearted start he took it very seriously.
Close Calls in 1956
Undeterred, Tippit and Smith crashed through the door, but were immediately set upon by the "demented" husband, who was armed with an ice pick. Before the wild man could be subdued Smith suffered a deep wound to his shoulder, while Officer Tippit was struck in the stomach and the knee.
Officer Tippit underwent surgery to remove the tip of the ice pick which had broken off and become embedded in his knee cap.
On September 2, a fully recovered Tippit and his partner Dale Hankins were doing a "routine" walk through at the Club 80 Bar in Dallas. Tippet spotted a man in one of the booths, who looked like the face on a wanted bulletin the department had received from Denver.
The two officers contacted the man and asked him to step outside with them. The man initially feigned cooperation, but suddenly produced a .25 caliber semi-automatic and shoved it into Tippit's face.
The suspect squeezed the trigger, but had left the weapon on safe.
Tippit and his partner both drew and fired. Together they put seven rounds into the suspect, killing him before he could recover from his mental misstep.
Tippit later confided to a fellow officer that the muzzle of that small caliber weapon "looked like a stove pipe!"
A Last Kiss Goodbye
Officer Tippit's shift was initially uneventful. He was even able to stop home for lunch. His wife Marie made him a tuna sandwich and fried potatoes. After that lunch Tippit kissed Marie goodbye and went back out on patrol.
Neither of them realized this would be their last kiss shared in this world.
President Kennedy Has Been Shot
At 1314 hours, Tippit spotted a nervous young man near 10th and Patton in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas who matched the description of the suspect. Officer Tippit pulled alongside to take a closer look.
After talking to him briefly at the window of the patrol car the man was directed to the front of the squad and Tippit exited to continue his investigation.
As Officer Tippit approached, the man suddenly drew a .38 caliber revolver and shot Tippit three times in the chest at close range. After Tippit fell, the suspect — Lee Harvey Oswald — placed the muzzle of his weapon next to the wounded officer's temple and fired.
Oswald fled, and a citizen called in the assault by using Tippit's radio.
Minutes later, Dallas officers converged on a theatre the killer had ducked into after seeing the approach of officers.
Oswald was apprehended after a fierce struggle and arrested for the murder of Officer Tippit.
Tippit's instincts were proven to be correct. Lee Harvey Oswald was, indeed, the man who shot President John F. Kennedy.
More Than a Footnote
Officer J.D. Tippit was a perfect example of the "Greatest Generation" — a generation of Americans whose epic stories of victory, valor, and sacrifice are destined to echo throughout history, eternally undiminished like "Thunder from Heaven."

DENVER (AP) - Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street has biceps tendinitis in his pitching arm and is being shut down for an undetermined amount of time.
Street said he first felt discomfort Tuesday night when he threw a six-pitch ninth inning against the New York Mets in his first action in a week.
He said he reported significantly more pain and swelling Wednesday night, when left-hander Franklin Morales recorded his first Major League save in Colorado's 5-2 win over the Mets.
Street, who has 33 saves in 34 chances, said he expects to be out a few days but no longer than a week.

The One with Happy Holidays from Chris, Paige, and the Zoo
This one would have worked, but Chris isn't in it and Li'l Chinchilla is hiding. This one would have worked, but Chandler's head is cut off. And Chris is MIA.
This one would have worked, but I look silly. And Chris is still missing.
I think maybe we'll just have to wait for our photoshoot with Kate and only include Joey. Sorry Rachel. And Chandler. And Li'l Chinchilla. And Jadis. And Frank Jr. & Alice. Maybe next year :)

Instructions for Making a Brooks Camp Campground Reservation
The reservation period for the Brooks Camp Campground did open as advertised at 8 AM Alaska Time on January 5. However, some people did find the reservation process confusing.
When "katmai" is typed into the search box on the homepage for recreation.gov, three different results for Katmai appear. Only the last result, "Katmai National Park and Preserve - Permits" links to the correct webpage to begin the reservation process (see the photo below). This seems to be the primary source of confusion, and we are working with recreation.gov to remedy it. To go directly to the correct page to begin the reservation process, click here.
Once you are on the permitting page for Katmai National Park and Preserve, select "Overnight" under the Find Permits menu on the left side of the page.
After the page refreshes, select "Campground" under Entrance Type then enter your start date, group size, and length of stay. Click "Search" and this will bring you to the page where you can begin building your itinerary.
Information on America the Beautiful Access and Senior Discounts
Please also note that the reservation system for the Brooks Camp Campground does not currently accept discounts for America the Beautiful Access and Senior passes. However, these discounts can be applied retroactively. Please bring your pass to the Brooks Camp Visitor Center when you check in and rangers will apply the discount then. Discounts for the campground only apply to the pass holder. No discounts will be given for Fure's Cabin permits.
We are actively working with recreation.gov to correct the issues brought to our attention. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

"Ceremony" - Dean Wareham
- Oscar, Oscar, Oscar - Roy has his way with the Zhdanovites of the right concerning the Academy Awards last night, but it's worth noting that the desire for propaganda is hardly the exclusive province of our right wing brethren. Witness this trashing of Argo -- the movie is "reprehensible" -- evidently because it was not a documentary of U.S. perfidy in the 1953 coup that toppled Mohammad Mosaddeq. And this one spreads the hate not only for Argo, but for Lincoln (which focuses far too much on the 16th President at the expense of Black abolitionists) -- not to mention Zero Dark Thirty. I just keep thinking of the tag line to one of the horror films of the 1970s -- "it's only a movie, it's only a movie."
- As for the ceremony itself, I wasn't too impressed. I have a pretty broad and irreverent sense of humor, but Seth McFarlane is only funny if you have an IQ of about 100. He's a smarmy, smug, self-satisfied mediocrity who seems to think boob jokes are cutting edge and daring stuff. Oddly enough, I also think having the orchestra cut people off so quickly takes away some of the interest in the program. I'd cut out a chunk of the awards (sorry sound guys) and loosen things up a bit.
- I assume that the right wing reaction to Michelle Obama's presentation of the Best Picture award is going to be worth at least a two-part series for Roy.
- And now, back to Washington's version of show business. This post on No More Mister Nice Blog pretty much sums up the manner in which our elite media is so horrible and so inadequate to the challenges to truth and sanity posed by today's GOP. Incidentally, for those of you concerned that Ezra Klein might be becoming a "courtier" I thought his absolute dismantling of David Brooks the other day was a reassuring sign to the contrary. What was amazing to me is that I don't think Brooks had any idea that he had just been gutted in public. God, he's a dumbass.
- Does anyone remember "Mission Accomplished?

The girl was sitting there,
All alone.
With no one to hold.
She cries for reasons she cannot explain.
She can't tell anyone.
Without changing her fate.
I want to help her.
But she wont let me in.
She wont break down that wall for me to get in.
Little girl. Little girl.
I want to save you.
She opens the door..
And what I see, Is, Me.

Saving you changes to file in Lightroom - video tutorial
Feb 16, 2011
I've just published a new video tutorial on my photography blog. It's about saving changes you've made to your photos in Lightroom to a file. By default Lightroom only saves the changes you make to its internal database.
When you want to use your photo (with changes) in another program, like Photoshop, you'll need to save the changes to an extra XMP file.
You can find the video tutorial here:
Hope you'll find this useful!

For anyone visiting Tokyo who has an interest in fish or aquariums, Tokyo Sea Life Park (Kasai Rinkai Suizokuen) is definitely worth a visit.
Located a quick 5 minute walk from JR Kasai Rinkai Koen Station, it was an easy 15 minute train ride from Tokyo station.
As we walked around we got to see the many different exhibits such as Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Carribean Sea.
There were also Deep Sea and Shoreline Habitats.
The Penguin Exhibit was very popular with kids and adults alike.
But our favorite was the massive tuna tank!
If you time your visit right you can experience feeding time at the tuna tank which lets you really see the speed and power of these fish!

Raw for Dessert! Win a Free Raw Dessert Book!
6 comments:
K, officially following your blog! My favorite raw dessert is a raw brownie that I make:ReplyDelete
I started going raw about a year ago after developing pretty debilitating digestive issues. I'm still in the midst of trying to work out the kinks, but I've absolutely fallen in love with raw "cooking."
Great blog!-
Jamie Hayworth-Chin
I follow your blog because it makes obvious that raw is possible, and even fun.ReplyDelete
The only raw dessert I made was almost like a main course: Carrot pulp with dates and all kinds of stuff thrown in. I had it for breakfast lunch and supper due to the carob chips! (I am non-caffeinated, so chocolate is out. Can I make Jamie's brownies with carob?
I am not totally raw, but rather moving that way along the scale. :)
I thought I followed your blog but I just signed up!!!ReplyDelete
I love a chocolate fruit dip that I make out of almond butter, cacao, agave and vanilla.....so yummy!!!!
Also, I went raw for health reasons...I am not 100% raw now....I try to stay at 50-85% raw everyday though!!!
Good luck to everyone!!! That book looks amazing!! I have never heard of it before!!
Hi Jamie,ReplyDelete
The brownies look amazing! Great job - your blog looks great as well. Thank you for sharing the link. Grace is wondering about a substitution in your recipe..you would know better than me if it would turn out relatively the same. Although eating raw is a very disciplined way of eating, it is awesome because you can feel the difference.
Grace...yes, raw food rocks! I am so happy that you are doing raw. No matter is you are 100% raw, high raw or medium, I think it has helped me just be conscious of what I am eating. Wow, non-caffinated. I have a confession, I love my coffee. I am in the process and have tried - grain/chicory and other substitutes, maca, cacao, but as of yet, I have not given up my morning coffee - need it to survive:) I have used carrott pulp to make a great raw carrot cake!ReplyDelete
Yeah Samantha! Wow, the fruit dip sounds amazing. See you guys are helping me out!I can not wait to try the dip! It seems like everyone who went raw has health reasons! Our bodies are trying to tell us something. Great job with the 50-85% raw each day! Fantastic! Thanks for checking in!ReplyDelete

Voices of Faith — Do you think the modern concept of Santa Claus dilutes the meaning of Christmas?
Q. Do you think the modern concept of Santa Claus dilutes the meaning of Christmas?
Traditions play an important role in holidays. Not everything has to be Biblical to be worth doing. Our family looks forward to Christmas because Christmas is family getting together and doing things that create memories and bonds that cannot easily be broken. Santa is a part of that.
I feel sorry for families that cannot have good clean fun and must find a Biblical reason for everything they do. It is the memory of fun times and family traditions that keeps children home and helps them remember the values that home stands for when they leave. One can teach children that Christmas is more about giving than getting.
On Christmas morning, I am Santa, and there are a lot of "ho, ho, ho's" and grandchildren's excited shrieks, and "thank yous." We have a rule; if a Biblical principle is not violated, and if it is fun, we will do it.
Dennis Pumford
Epikos Church, Redding
St. Nicholas was a real person who gave gifts to poor people and showed the kind of kindness we associate with Santa Claus. He was everything we associate with the jolly old elf and more. The tragedy of the contemporary Christmas is that we honor only a portion of the real man.
Nicholas was a lover of Christ first and foremost He was a bishop of the fourth century church. He participated in the council of Nicea, helping to formulate the foundational summary of the Christian faith. He was tortured for his faith and forgave his oppressors from his heart. He saw himself as nothing outside of the presence and personality of the Lord he knew and served.
Santa, as we have reduced him, is not a dilution of the meaning of Christmas. It is a shrinking of the man into something sanitized and impotent. I prefer the real man.
James Wilson
PrayNorthState, Redding
Santa probably doesn't dilute Christmas any more than Black Friday, or now Black Thursday, and the commercialism that goes with it. Probably no more that people saying "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" or any of the other quips that are shared this time of the year. ...or my personal favorite, "Merry X-mas."
Christians however, should not be surprised or alarmed. The rejection of Christ, as in Christmas, is well documented in scripture. The worship of everything other than God, too, is laid out in the Bible along with how we remove him from our culture in every conceivable way.
I encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to stand firm for "our celebration." If those who do not believe in Christ's birth choose not to honor Christmas for what it is, please feel free to entertain yourselves in any manner you wish.
"Born this day a savior..." Luke, chapter 2
Jim White, lay leader
Weaverville Church of the Nazarene
The birth of Christ, a holy manifestation of God, deserves to be celebrated as spiritually significant and not confused with materialism represented by Santa Claus.
In the Netherlands, and perhaps in other countries in Europe, Dec. 6 is St. Nicholas Day, when children receive gifts. I like to think that Christmas there is observed without emphasis on material goods. I'd like to know more about this.
Laurel West Kessler
Baha'i in Shingletown
The Santa Claus tradition is simply represented as a well-meaning figure of Christmas giving. It is a stereotype of the spirit of the season of sharing our blessings. Perhaps we need to do a bit of introspection of ourselves if we feel that he is the reason for 'secularization' of the season. Santa's focus is primarily upon children, but is easily extended to include adults, even the whole world. It is partly unconditional giving, partly "saintly" (Santa) behavior, and partly bringing cheerfulness to many who may be depressed by events and circumstances. While we Christians focus on the birth of Jesus, the Santa Claus tradition gives people of many faiths a reason and a season to celebrate love and forgiveness and generosity.
Deacon Mike Evans
Sacred Heart Church, Anderson
Saint Nicholas is a wonderful metaphor for the gifting Christians see God doing in Jesus' birth. Of course in a consumer culture, we can turn anything into credit card calamities! But I'm all for the reminder that Christmas is about great gifts, and St. Nick does that well for me.
Rev. Rod Brayfindley, Pastor
First United Methodist Church, Redding
If the question were to be restated, "Does Christmas dilute the meaning of Santa Claus?" the answer remains the same: it doesn't matter. Celebrating one or both is not disparaging to either Santa Claus or Christmas. Whether it is Easter, Gantan-sai, Timkat, or Ramanavani, the concepts and meanings surrounding them are not diluted by the celebration of another.
If I celebrate the birth of Dogen-Zenji and the Winter Solstice, that celebration is unique to both and my reverence for Dogen is not diminished or threatened by enjoying Yule or other celebrations. We spend far too much time ranking or weighing things. Bow to them all and follow your own path.
To you, Namaste,
I honor the place in you
Where we are both one.
Dennis Kessinger, Zen Buddhist
I associate joy and love — and of course, traditional foods — with every holiday I celebrated. I grew up in an interfaith family. My childhood memories formed a foundation for how I built my life. My Jewish mother read "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" to us at every Christmas season.
Christmas is about love. So is the myth of Santa Claus. Giving is the most relevant act of love. Giving is not about what we give, but about what we feel by giving. The Christmas of my childhood did not start until after Thanksgiving.
My adult beliefs and actions govern more about how I live my life than do childhood memories. I accept the need for religious myth and separate it from reality. I choose to reject the violence perpetrated throughout history in the name of religion. I find true peace in loving-kindness; no modern concept can dilute that.
George Wandrocke, chaplain
Temple Beth Israel of Redding
Mixing religion with popular culture or commerce can produce unexpected results.
As a Buddhist, I can relate since Zen has been expropriated as a brand name for everything including perfumes, teas, software applications, books titled "Zen and the Art of (Fill in the Blank)," and the Daily Show's "Moment of Zen."
This might simply be a case of "there's no such thing as bad publicity." Or it could epitomize what Tibetan teacher Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche called spiritual materialism, which includes commercializing spiritual concepts and terminology for profit.
In the spirit of peace on earth, we might practice tolerance about how others do or don't celebrate Christmas. Catholic author G.K. Chesterton wrote, "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly." And Suzuki Roshi said that spiritual practice is "too important to take seriously."
May all have a personally meaningful Christmas or holiday season. ...and to all a good night!
Chris Carrigan, Buddhist
River Oak Sangha, Redding
Although children see Santa look-alikes everywhere, it is endearing to embrace the concept of a warm-hearted man making gifts for children all over the world while encouraging goodness in everyone. Santa reminds us of the value of giving to and caring for others. This is a beautiful addition to the meaning of Christmas from a spiritual point of view. The birth of Jesus also represents the birth of the Christ consciousness, which is the recognition and realization that we are all part of the one creative nature of the universe. At Christmas, both Santa and the celebrated birth of Jesus remind us of the goodness always present within. In the New Year, even after a period of tragedy and sadness, we can invite the Christ consciousness to be birthed once again in us to bring greater peace, love and joy to the world.
Rev. Mary Mitchell, Co-pastor
Center for Spiritual Living Redding
I really don't mind him at all. I just wish he would tell more boys and girls they have to go to church on Christmas Eve if they are to expect presents the next day.
Rev. Jeffrey Smith
St Luke's Anglican Church, Redding
Does Santa dilute the meaning of Christmas? Not a bit. The meaning of Christmas, the eternal God taking on a human nature in order to save people from their sins, can never be diluted. The wisdom and love of God, demonstrated in the miracle of the incarnation can in no way be diluted by the myths and imaginations of men.
Rather, I would say that Santa and his "elves," be they capitalistic or atheistic, are a great "distraction" from the meaning of Christmas. They crowd out thoughts about the true meaning of Christmas, replacing them with an abject materialism, which is, after all, much more at home in the human heart than the celebration of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, which means "God with us," who is the only hope for mankind.
Let me challenge you, readers, to read the Christmas story this year. It's in Matthew 1:18 – 25 and Luke 2:1 – 20.
Rev. Gene Crow, Pastor
Redding Reformed Fellowship
Santa Claus is a fictional character which, for the true believer in Jesus Christ, has no meaning as it applies to Christmas. He's depicted as a jolly old man in a red suit who encourages boys and girls to be good throughout the year. He may not dilute the meaning of Christmas but can have a significant affect on how people approach Christmas.
Materialism has become the modern day Santa Claus. Unfortunately, some individuals of our faith have come to view God as the big Santa Claus in the sky. They view him more as a giver of gifts then as the one who came to earth to save mankind. Many go to prayer only when they want something from God rather than coming to him as our father. Christmas is a time we think on the tremendous gift God gave us in putting his son on this earth and if we stay focused on what Paul says in Colossians 1, we will be continually reminded that God is the one who loves us and wants only his best in our lives.

A surface miner crushed by heavy equipment became the first miner killed in Kentucky in 2007, a state official said.
Charles I. Griffith, 48, of Pikeville, was operating an excavator Monday at a mine in the Steele community in eastern Pike County, near the Kentucky-Virginia line, when the machine overturned, killing him, said Chuck Wolfe, a spokesman for the Kentucky Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet.
Griffith was working at Double E Augering Mine No. 2 when the
accident happened at about 4:10 p.m., Wolfe said. Double E. Augering is based in Ashcamp.
The mine has been closed pending the outcome of an
investigation, Wolfe said.
Sixteen miners in Kentucky were killed on the job in 2006. Five
of the deaths were from a single methane gas explosion in Harlan
County in May.

- Survived the trails for two years
- I've had my Atlas for over two years. It's been dropped on hard surfaces as well as into streams. It's been through the gambit out on the trails and my phone is still in perfectly working order. I went through a Lifeproof case in three months before I found this. Really love this case!
- 4 out of 5, great phone case for the active person
- This was an excellent case which is doing a solid job of keeping the phone dry and un-damaged (I work as a Pool Lifeguard, so that is essential). Only minor issue is that at the bottom of the screen protector the touch sensitivity goes down, but other than that, it works like a charm. If you guys sold this in the UV Blue/Black color like your original Atlas for the iPhone 5, you'd probably make better sales as that particular color was always selling like hotcakes.
- best case ever
- Best case ever for active people, I had mine for six months and it's been the first sixth months in along time I haven't had to fix or replace my phone. Not a huge case fits perfect over my 5s, the Touch ID works great. No annoying rubber edges that get hung up in your pocket. Worth every penny!

Aggravated manslaughter charges have been filed against an Atlantic City man accused of fatally shaking a friend's infant.
Atlantic County prosecutors say 19-year-old Daquan Davis also faces child endangerment charges in the death of 6-month-old boy. He was being held Saturday on $750,000 bail.
Acting County Prosecutor Jim McClain says Davis was caring for the infant while the child's mother was at work. When she returned home around 4 a.m. Friday, she found the boy was unresponsive and called 911.
The child was pronounced dead a short time later, and authorities were notified. Davis was arrested late Friday night.
