A hopeful rebuke to hate and Islamaphobia
It's been easy to lose hope and feel pretty dispirited about the ugly nativism and rising anti-Muslim sentiment casting a dark cloud over the nation leading into a weekend when we pause to remember the horrific attacks of Sept. 11. But as we've pointed out, the disproportionate media coverage given to a small group of Christians who betray the core values of all faiths, is just part of the story. Dan posted a CNN interview yesterday with Pastor Larry Reimer, a Gainesville minister helping to unite the local Christian, Jewish and Muslim community.
Those of us who recognize that violent extremism will never be defeated with hate and ignorance that demonize entire religious communities will also find inspiration in the moving story of two women who lost their husbands in the World Trade Center. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof tells their moving story in this op-ed, The Healers of 9/11.
This weekend, a Jewish woman who lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks is planning to speak at a mosque in Boston. She will be trying to recruit members of the mosque to join her battle against poverty and illiteracy in Afghanistan. The woman, Susan Retik, has pursued perhaps the most unexpected and inspiring American response to the 9/11 attacks… In the shattering aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, Ms. Retik bonded with another woman, Patti Quigley, whose husband had also died in the attack. They lived near each other, and both were pregnant with babies who would never see their fathers. Devastated themselves, they realized that there were more than half a million widows in Afghanistan — and then, with war, there would be even more. Ms. Retik and Ms. Quigley also saw that Afghan widows could be a stabilizing force in that country. So at a time when the American government reacted to the horror of 9/11 mostly with missiles and bombs, detentions and waterboardings, Ms. Retik and Ms. Quigley turned to education and poverty-alleviation projects — in the very country that had incubated a plot that had pulverized their lives. The organization they started, Beyond the 11th, has now assisted more than 1,000 Afghan widows in starting tiny businesses. It's an effort both to help some of the world's neediest people and to fight back at the distrust, hatred and unemployment that sustain the Taliban.
It's heroic women like these who embody the best of American values. Their courage to weave the raw strands of anger and grief into a stunning tapestry of hope offers a stark rebuke to those sad examples dominating the news cycle these days. Next time you read another story about fanatics planning to burn Korans or the growing backlash against mosques in communities across the country remember these women and disciples of the Good News like Pastor Larry Reimer.

What a great article on Hartley...she looks like the "real deal." Welcome to UCONN!
Geno owes Jen a dinner for the work she's doing with UConn's frosh! The experience all of the U 18 youngsters are getting with Rizzotti will give them such a head start on their assimilation into their prospective teams. Bria's arrival this fall is making the Huskies have an embarrassment of riches at guard. Let's hope Stephanie Dolson develops as quickly under the hoop.
I agree, DaveFromOregon. Coach better hit Jen up with a meal, because the work and knowlege that Jen is instilling in these UConn freshmen is going to pay huge divdends once the season starts. Bria and the rest of the freshmen players are going to have a good first year under the Huskie banner. Thanks, Jen

By Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
The current inflation rate is not worrisome, but is always worth a close look. Any surprise uptick in inflation automatically pushes up mortgage rates.
For all of last year, the broad Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.5 percent. As of March this year, the 12-month inflation rate was also 1.5 percent. The more important "core" inflation rate, as it dictates monetary policy, however, is showing signs of accelerating. After removing the volatile food and energy prices from the basket, core inflation increased at a 2.5 percent annualized rate in March, the highest rate in a year. If the core rate rises at such a pace on a sustained basis or moves even higher, then the Federal Reserve will have no choice but to raise interest rates sooner than its public guidance to date. The new chairperson of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, has indicated that the bond-buying program (commonly referred to as the tapering of quantitative easing) is set to end by the close of this year with the first hike in the short-term federal funds rate likely occurring in the summer of 2015.
Why is core inflation suddenly awakening? One key reason is that housing costs have been rising. Apartment rents grew by 2.9 percent. The murkier but nevertheless important figure of homeowner equivalency rent, rose by 2.6 percent, the highest gain in nearly six years! The continuing fall in apartment vacancy rates combined with a general housing shortage assures even higher rent and homeowner equivalency rent for the remainder of the year.
Though home prices have also been rising quite fast, they are not relevant in the CPI calculations. Like stock market valuation, a house is considered an investment asset by government statisticians and not related to the monthly cost-of-living. However, higher home prices will surely infiltrate into higher monthly housing costs in some way. The NAR median home price rose 9 percent in February. The lagging Case-Shiller index showed a 13 percent higher home price in January.
Against the upward pressure on prices coming from housing, there are potential offsets that could keep inflation in check. First, wage increases have been slowly moving up: from 1.5 percent hourly wage gain in 2012 to 2.1 percent in 2013. As of March, the average hourly wage rate of $20.47 for non-supervisory workers, was up 2.3 percent over 12 months. Still rising, but so far this is nothing alarming. The 20-year average annual wage increase is 3.0 percent. There is, in addition, plenty of slack in the current labor market with many underemployed and unemployed who will be willing to work without a wage increase.

Dear Mr. Yun
I am still under the impression that inflation is more money chasing after the same goods and services.You mentioned a lot of price changes and related them to inflation as many economists do these days. How does one make that correlation? If you track the money supply,M1 and M2, I think you will find that inflation pretty much follows the expansion or contraction of the money supply. I would like to learn your thoughts on this.

David Swanson, Sharon Hauge, and Mary Lynn Schmidt (1999) "Evaluation of Composite Estimation Methods for Cost Weights in the CPI," Proceedings of the Section on Survey Research Methods, American Statistical Association.
For each local area and for each item stratum, an estimate of consumer expenditure is needed to weight the market basket of goods and services for which the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is computed. These expenditure estimates, called cost weights, must be computed every time the CPI is revised. Due to small sample sizes in the Consumer Expenditure Survey, high variability is an inherent problem in producing such localized estimates. To alleviate this problem, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) employs composite estimation to reduce the mean squared error of the cost weight estimates at the index area/item stratum level. In this paper we summarize the research conducted at the BLS over the past ten years on different methods of composite estimation, and describe the method used in the CPI's 1998 revision.

Anti-Gay Puerto Rican Legislator Caught On Grindr
Jim Burroway
August 26th, 2011
Puerto Rico Senator Roberto Arango was spotted posting photos (NSFW) on the gay hook-up smartphone app Grindr. What makes this noteworthy is the anti-gay positions he's taken over the years. According to a tip at Joe.My.God:
In 2009 he voted in favor of Resolution 99 which would have amended Puerto Rico's constitution to ban the recognition of same-sex marriages (it didn't pass). He has been opposed to civil union bills and in 2004 he used a rubber duck and made it quack to make fun of an opponent (in Puerto Rico, the word for duck, "pato", means faggot.)
Arango was identified partly by the pendant that he was wearing while taking the photo. Another photo allegedly downloaded from Grindr has him wearing a shirt and showing his face. And then, of course, there's this one (NSFW). The photos were aired last Friday on the Puerto Rican TV show Dando Candela.
Arango, who served as Puerto Rico chair for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign in 2004, neither confirmed nor denied taking the photograph. He told Dando Candela:
You know I've been losing weight. As I shed that weight, I've been taking pictures. I don't remember taking this particular picture but I'm not gonna say I didn't take it. I'd tell you if I remembered taking the picture but I don't.
Is "losing weight" destined to become another euphemism?

The Venturas Poker Challenge is a poker show in Grand Theft Auto IV hosted by Malcolm Fitzherbert and Troy Burger. It is based on the World Series of Poker. The main setting is a casino known as The Venturas Dome in the Old Venturas Strip.
Various areas of Las Venturas and Bone County, and a state map from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are shown during the show (one of the only times the continuity of the 3D Universe is recognized in the HD Universe). This is simply a continuity error, as the 3D Universe (which GTA San Andreas is set in) is actually separate from the HD Universe (which GTA IV is set in).
The show ends before a winner is declared, although it is implied that "Cocksure" Chris Cummings is the winner.
- "Cocksure" Chris Cummings
- "Dangerous" Derrick Thornton
- Jennifer Zelinski
- Butch Roberts
- Terry Kim
- Steve "Buffet Car" Jabowitz

Who doesn't love Pinterest? There is nothing better than wasting a perfectly good nap time by sitting in front of your computer with a huge cup of coffee and plate of cookies…especially if you are scrolling through new ways to organize your laundry room, tutorials on how to make a rug out of recycled sheets, or methods of melting crayons into art.
Luckily for me, there is a way to satiate both my appetite for crafts and my love of celebrity mothers all at the same time- consider this the ultimate multitask/ life hack.
Celebrities are jumping on the Pinterest bandwagon. It's fun to see what inspires our favorite moms and maybe borrow a few of their ideas. Here are a few must-follow celebrity moms:

I love baking and this is the first time I have made my favourite Dutch appletart (appeltaart in dutch)
Growing up in Holland I have been missing it so much.
It's actually very simple to make and you have probably all the ingredients in your kitchen.
If you want me to write down the recipe just leave a message below.
This one is called the Normandian appletart. Can you see the difference between the Dutch and the French apple tart? The Dutch appletart is quite high in size.
What I love about these appletarts ........... everything :)
Both appletarts were a big hit with my friends ................
Wishing you all a very happy Weekend :)

In 1941, a young Ansel Adams was hired by the United States government to photograph the country's national parks. The breathtaking images taken by Adams illustrate both his early technical achievements with photography and earns his place among the world's most renowned landscape photographers. Adams was instrumental in raising photography's status to that of fine art, even helping to establish a permanent photography department at the New York Metropolitan Museum. As a diligent activist, he played a seminal role in the dawning of the environmental consciousness through his work on the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club.

Oregon City is the first incorporated city west of the Rockies. Established in 1829 by Dr. John McLoughlin as a lumber mill near Willamette Falls, it was later designated as Oregon's territorial capital. Visiting its many museums and historical buildings allows you a glimpse of pioneer life in Oregon territory.
Places of Interest
Oregon City is Home to many Places of Historic and Cultural interest. Use the descriptions and links below to learn more.
The Museum of the Oregon Territory, which overlooks Willamette Falls and the Willamette River, has extensive exhibits of Clackamas county history documented in photographs and artifacts. Displays follow a time line from Indian times through fur traders, pioneers and merchants. Additional exhibits include one on America's first long distance electric transmission, which was from Willamette Falls, and an immigrant wagon fully loaded for the Oregon Trail.
The End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center is located on Abernethy Green, at a site often identified as the end of the Barlow Road portion of the Oregon Trail. Visitors are guided by a living history interpreter, who brings alive the journey from Missouri to Oregon through dramatization and story telling. Things to see include artifacts from pioneer days, a video presentation, and a gift shop.
The Stevens Crawford House is located in a 1908 classical Foursquare style house. It was owned by the original family until 1968 and much of the period furniture is still kept in the house. There are 15 furnished rooms, including a working kitchen, living room, bedrooms, dining room and a doll collection. There is also a museum area which features displays of souvenir plates, children's toys and Indian baskets.

Following are the stages that were completed as part of the procurement process.
Planning: The UW released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to replace its aging payroll system in September 2012, following more than two years of planning work, high-level key activities, and approvals from the Board of Regents and the State of Washington. The new system will replace UW's current Higher Education Payroll Personnel System (HEPPS) with a modern, integrated system that will provide functionality to support HR and payroll business needs. This RFP involves a structured evaluation approach with specific deadlines and processes. For more information, please see the RFP document page.
- Stage 1: An RFP bidders' conference was held at UW on October 3, 2012, to provide potential bidders an overview of the UW's HR/P Modernization and an opportunity to ask questions about the RFP. Representatives from 29 companies participated either in person or via web/teleconference. The HR/P Modernization's Executive Sponsors were in attendance as well as members of the project to discuss efforts underway to support the new system, provide a walkthrough of the procurement process, and give bidders the opportunity to ask questions. The presentation and a list of attendees are available for viewing. UW received six bids and invited five of those to submit more detailed proposals for Stage 2.
Stage 2: Four bidders submitted more detailed proposals, which were received on January 15, 2013. One bidder was disqualified due to an incomplete response. Extensive review of the three remaining proposals focused on functional and technical capabilities, bidder profiles, and the degree of fit with UW requirements. All three bidders were invited to the Seattle campus in February 2013 to negotiate key business terms. Extensive reference checks and financial due diligence activities were also completed as part of the evaluation process.
Stage 3: On March 27, 2013, three vendors were invited to participate in Stage 3; one bidder withdrew in April due to licensing and contracting issues with a sub-contractor. In this stage, vendors provided initial solution demonstrations, and submitted initial cost proposals, answers to additional UW questions, and contract issues lists. The procurement team continued to perform reference checks and other due diligence activities, evaluate cost, and negotiate contract terms.
Finalist Stage: The two remaining bidders continued to the finalist stage, where they provided revised cost estimates, engaged in negotiations with the HR/P team, and gave demonstrations of their solutions to representatives from around the University.
Apparent Successful Bidder: On January 9, 2014, the University identified Workday, Inc. (NYSE: WDAY) as its recommended bidder to implement the new human resources and payroll system. The Board of Regents will consider an action item at its February meeting to approve the HR/Payroll Modernization project investment plan, budget, and recommended contract award. In parallel to the Regental approval process, the University will seek approval from the Washington State Office of the CIO.
- Contract Approved and Signed: Following approval from the University of Washington Board of Regents and the Washington State Office of the Chief Information Officer, the contract with Workday was signed on February 20, 2014. Implementation began March 3, 2014.

Well, after reading Walkah's 2004 post about using Drupal's Blog API module with MarsEdit, I was inspired to try again. The inability to get MarsEdit working with my Drupal 4.7.4 install has made an impact in my blogging style.
This post is another attempt. As recommended, I've switched over to the Movable Type API rather than MarEdit's "Drupal" setting. When the site was reloaded in MarsEdit, I was able to see more data, such as the taxonomy categories, in the listing of posts.
However, in writing this post, I notice that I'm unable to set a category. The "Categories" list that slides out in a per-post drawer in MarsEdit is blank.
Oh well, I'll still post this and see what happens. I want to see if I can now round-trip posts: create a new post, save it to the site, and then edit/update it in MarsEdit. With the MarsEdit "Drupal" setting, I was unable to do that effectively.
Update: It looks like it worked, and meets my expectations if you discount the missing categories!
Later update: Categories cannot be set with the MarsEdit "Keywords" tab. I also found that human-friendly URLs are not set via the Pathauto module on the stories I post through MarsEdit.
Even later update: Since the intertwingularity of Drupal and MarsEdit has changed over time for me (and as I update this post on Drupal 6.6 and MarsEdit 2.2.2, it works so well I barely create posts any other way) and this is a popular post, I wanted to let you know that you can find all — or most, since not all have been tagged — of my Drupal MarsEdit posts in one list.

Last Wednesday I attended the funeral of my friend Nora Salazar. On behalf of myself and the Madera Christmas Basket program I wanted to add my own tribute and my thanks for all she did for us.
The article about Nora in Tuesday's Madera Tribune (June 5) mentioned that she had worked for several years on the Christmas Basket Program, bringing gifts to underprivileged children. While that is true, it barely scratches the surface of what she did for me and for the program. She was a pillar for the Baskets, and while I know that I thanked her, I also know that I didn't do it nearly enough.
As a donor, Nora was incredibly generous. Nora gave from her own money to support us in good times and more recently in lean times. She also sought donations from others, especially the Latinas Unidas.
She had a tremendous ability to organize and was always willing to work in the trenches. Every year when we took signups Nora would come with family members and assorted volunteers to get the work done. That was always a blessing to me since otherwise I would have been overwhelmed.
Nora's energy and enthusiasm never seemed to run out. Every year about a week before we distributed, Nora would show up with her daughter Jody, Jody's husband and a bunch of young volunteers and they would put together hundreds of boxes and fill them with the food we were going to distribute. Nora would be the first one there and the last to leave.
On the day of the distribution Nora was our crowd control, mediating disputes, and listening to hard-luck stories about lost tickets and various other mixups. If she had any flaw it was that she was too tender hearted, which sometimes made life more complicated for those of us who are more rule oriented.
I know that I now must say goodbye to Nora. I couldn't say goodbye without also saying thanks for all she did — thank you, Nora.
Doug Nelson,
Madera Christmas Baskets

Precision Optometry offers new choice in eye careBy: Teresa O'Hanlon, Placer Herald correspondent
Patrick Young of Rocklin loves to work with numbers, but when the pre-algebra student struggled to see the white board in class, he knew his vision was creating an unnecessary variable in his math equations.
"It was difficult to see the problems, so I had to move up closer and I had to ask other students if I copied down the equations correctly," the sixth-grader said. "Dr. Brooks is very nice and she's helping me get the right prescription."
Doctor Geraldine Brooks, optometrist and owner of Precision Optometry, opened her new Rocklin practice earlier this year in the Safeway Plaza on Park Drive and Sunset Boulevard to serve the community with state-of-the-art vision care as a board-certified Therapeutic Pharmaceutical Agent Licensed Optometrist.
"I have an extra degree in physiological optics in addition to my optometric license," Brooks shared. "A therapeutic license allows me to treat eye disease and minor eye injuries, and to prescribe eye medications to the patient's pharmacies for a variety of eye conditions."
Precision Optometry serves adults and children and offers vision check-ups for $30 as part of an eye exam and $48 contact lens fittings for most prescriptions and warranties at no additional fees.
Optician Laurie Palka enjoys working with customers to find vision wear that is comfortable and affordable.
"As soon as patients come through that door, we like to do the one-on-one personalized service for them where it's all about them and we address any and every need that they have," she added.
Brooks has been a practicing optometrist for 19 years and stressed the importance of eye exams for both vision evaluation and detection of ocular and systemic disease. In a number of cases, she has identified medical conditions and critical health issues in time to save her patients' lives.
"I examined a 12-year-old patient three years ago who was having unusual vision changes and who had just seen a neurologist … the neurologist did not provide the patient with a diagnosis," Brooks said. "When I examined the patient's eyes, it was obvious the patient was suffering from papilledema, a swelling of his optic nerves. I referred him to urgent care for a spinal tap to relieve the intracranial pressure to preserve his eyesight. The spinal tap revealed that he had leukemia. His mother, who was blaming the child's vision problems on playing too many video games, was very thankful that I diagnosed her son correctly and that he was treated for leukemia in the early stages of the disease."
Brooks said her job is very rewarding, especially when she guides patients in making good financial choices to maximize their visual health and arms them with knowledge of cutting-edge vision technology. While progressive lens free-form technology for patients over the age of 40 now provides revolutionary change, Brooks notes only 35 percent of Americans have converted to the better lens technology compared to 75 percent of patients in Europe.
"All of our handheld devices – iPhones, Droids, iPads, computer screens – are coated with high-tech anti-glare coatings and only the best companies provide this level of technology to eyeglass lenses," Brooks said. "In Asia, 95 percent of eyeglass wearers have quality anti-reflective coatings, compared to only 30 percent in the U.S. It seems Americans are not aware of the latest technology, or it has something to do with our lack of accessible medical health care."
Before graduating at the top of her class at the University of California Berkeley School of Optometry, Brooks completed her primary education on three different continents.
"I lived overseas during most of my childhood, including a total of 13 years in Africa, four years in Europe and four years in Canada," she said.
Brooks speaks French and has professional fluency in Spanish, and her receptionist is fluent in American Sign Language. Her staff is excited to welcome new patients.
"The first 30 patients who schedule an eye examination stating that reading this article prompted them to request the examination will receive a free cleaning solution kit for eyeglasses or contacts, depending on what the patient requires."

There is one thing that can put me in a good mood, and that is a vacation when I can spend time with my favorite guy from Denver. We are not monogamous, but enjoy each other tremendously when we do get together. He is 63 and can fuck harder, better, more creatively than most guys half his age. Some guys over 50, heck, some guys over 50 have droopy asses, but his ass is firm and smooth and well, damn, he is hot!!!
While he was at his conference, I did the Tourist thing in the different downtown areas of Boston. One day I checked out China town, Copley Square and Newbury Street, Another day I walked the old town area near Freedom Trail and the Harbor. Amazing numbers of Italian restaurants and Irish pubs. I had a lobster lunch at the Purple Shamrock. It was awesome, especially with Sam Adams Red Brick beer on the side. I really liked the feeling of the city, the architecture, the parks, just the walkability of it.
And the view from his hotel room was amazing. It was on the 15th floor with a view of the waterfront and part of the city. Of course, it was only several hours after I arrived before I actually got to see the view. I walked in the door, dropped my jacket and suitcase. then my clothes.. Then we fucked like animals. It wasn't until I caught my breath and we tidied up for Room service (put away toys, lube, condoms,etc and put clothes on, LOL) that I realized that his room had such a fantastic view.
The weather was wonderful - I just missed that Noreaster that caused so much havoc. The sights were wonderful. The food was wonderful. The sex was wonderful, though we could only keep up the pace for two nights, LOL. But damn, Sunday and Monday were amazing marathon sex sessions. Tuesday night we both decided to stick to cuddling and gentle love making. And we even made time to talk and watch some TV,,LOL. We only had the TV on the other two nights to mask the noise. All that hot dirty talk, name calling. For instance, he is the perverted Big Bad Wolf taking advantage of Little Red Riding Hood, fucks her "Wolf" style instead of "Doggy" style, growls and howls, etc.
The weather was cool, but as far as I was concerned it was a real heat wave!

How to Create a My Little Pony Original Character
Ever wish you could hang out with the main six ponies in Ponyville? All of them are super cool, and are great friends. All it takes is a love for ponies and an immense amount of imagination! Read on to how to create your own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character!
1Watch My Little Pony on television or on YouTube. Maybe one of the characters will inspire you to create your pony.
2Before you get started creating, write an outline about the pony you're designing. Write what they look like, what are their likes and dislikes, their gender, favorite food, etc. This will help you remember what your pony looks like, and what he or she likes.
3Choose your Cutie Mark. What is your pony's special talent? Perhaps she is very good at skateboarding? Maybe she is an amazing cook? Pick a special talent, and on a sheet of paper, sketch a quick design of your cutie mark. Color it the however you want.
- If your pony is a foal, he or she may not yet have a cutie mark.
4Draw your Cutie Mark. Draw a final copy of your Cutie Mark, based on the little sketches you just drew. Try using colored pencils to color it in. They make shading a lot easier.
5Pick a gender for your pony. If your pony is a representation of yourself, choose the gender you want to represent you. Most ponies are female, so if you plan to use your character for a roleplay or other game, a male character might be more in demand. However, pick whichever gender you most want or identify with.
6Pick the pony's main color. Incorporating your pony's color/s with the cutie mark, generally makes for a nice design, but is not a requirement. Be creative!
7Pick your pony's markings (if any). Traditionally the ponies do not have many markings other than their cutie mark. Maybe purple zebra stripes? The back legs are orange? Only the snout yellow? The possibilities are endless.
8Pick your pony's features. What color eyes does your pony have? What "Shape" are they? Does your pony have jagged teeth? Fangs?
9Pick your pony's hair colors. One or two colors?
10Pick your pony's hair style. Is it in a ponytail? Is it down? Does your pony have bangs? Does it have short hair? Maybe your pony adorns his or her mane with beads or feathers!
11Choose which type of pony your character will be: Pegasi, Unicorn, or Earth Pony? Pegasi can fly, Unicorns are magic and can cast spells, and Earth Ponies are faster on the ground and have amazing talents. This is one of the most important steps, so choose wisely. You can only be one sort of pony.
- Consider making your character a gryphon, dragon, or changeling instead of a pony. These are less common and aren't as well supported with pony creators and similar projects, but they can be cool, so consider them.
12Decide on a name. Fluttershy most likely got her name because she is shy, quiet, and a pegasus. Try to create your name based on the other properties of the pony.
13Draw your pony. You may draw it traditionally or digitally, or use an online pony creator like Pony Lumen. You can also download a base online and color it in to fit your pony.
14Think about your pony's personality and backstory. What is your pony like? Think about the things that it likes and hates to do. What does it find fun, and what does it dislike? Who are its friends and family? Does it have unusual mannerisms or speech patterns? Come up with a detailed personality and, if you want, a backstory for your pony.
15Make Final Changes. Change colors, patterns, eyes, etc. at this point.
16Enjoy your very own My Little Pony Character! With your character, you can write fanfiction and draw comics of your character interacting with the other ponies. Where will your pony take you? She will begin to develop her own personality when you use her often enough!

Special Review for TOS Magazine by Terri Camp, Ignite the Fire
"I greatly appreciate the heart of a homeschool dad who willingly lays everything on the line to create a masterpiece like this." -- Terri Camp
Our family enjoys having "family movie night." Our greatest struggle however isn't finding a seat in the living room. Our greatest struggle is finding quality movies that we can all watch and not feel like some children shouldn't be in the room or that the older children will get easily bored by all the singing vegetables.
My challenge has been met by a new movie called, Mysterious Ways: It's How God Works. Mysterious Ways is available in DVD format, so we all crowded into the office to watch it on one of our computers. Every person in the house enjoyed the movie immensely. They even replayed some scenes so they could laugh again at the same scene. That's a true test in our house of the quality of a movie!
Some of the comments made by the children were, "Wow! This movie is great! Can we watch it again?" and "It's neat to watch a movie about a homeschooling family!" and even, "You're not going to make us eat frog legs, are you Mom?" My son John commented, "I loved the comedy parts of the movie. It was quite clever."
I loved that the project answered a lot of the questions people have about homeschooling, not by simply stating the questions, but by using the questions in an interactive way as the "Mom" explains to the "Dad" that she has been researching the possibility of homeschooling their son who has been having trouble in school because of his religious convictions. When a social worker comes knocking on the door, the drama intensifies as the family makes a decision that affects their lives permanently.
The back cover of the DVD states that there is no suggestive themes and this is absolutely correct. The director even chose not to show girls in suggestive clothing, even though that was an area that concerned the movie family. Because they were working with a visual medium, they would have had to show a girl in suggestive clothing, and they felt it was wrong to do that. I greatly appreciate the heart of a homeschool dad who willingly lays everything on the line to create a masterpiece like this.
If I were a "thumbs up" kind of movie reviewer, Mysterious Ways would definitely get twenty thumbs up at our house!
Another great aspect of the movie is the additional homeschool opportunities. On the DVD, there is a director's commentary. This is the movie in its entirety with comments by the director. These comments range from lighting comments, to frustrations that occurred in the process of making the movie. You could easily give your child credit for watching this portion of the DVD. Featured on their website, www.MysteriousWaysTheMovie.com, they will be adding additional questions for homeschooled children to answer.
My first question before watching the movie was if it would have multi-play appeal. Basically, if I'm going to spend $20 for a movie, I want my children to watch it enough times to make me feel like it was worth the money. After watching the movie, I knew that it would quickly become a family favorite. The extra homeschool materials are a real bonus!
The film is written, produced, and directed by Manny Edwards. He also stars as the dad in the movie. Manny is a homeschool father of three boys. Please see my full review on the TOS website.
-- Product Review by: Terri Camp, Ignite the Fire
Here's another Mysterious Ways: It's How God Works review!
"A movie about a homeschooling family? REALLY?!"
This was my family's reaction when we received our DVD copy of Mysterious Ways. This was something that we had never seen before! Everyone rushed to crowd around the television as the movie began. From the very beginning, we were all, shall I say, "hooked." There was NO talking, NO fidgeting - we were LOST in the moment, living alongside the Harper family as if we were experiencing the same situations ourselves.
The basic premise of Mysterious Ways is that God "works all things to the good of those who love him" (Rom 8:28) and how He orchestrates that through various circumstances in this family's life. It begins with their middle-school-aged son Buddy, who dares to stand up for his faith against his teacher, and what follows is a terrifying (and unfortunately, BELIEVABLE) series of events with school officials, Social Services, and the local police.
There is so much more to say about this film. My husband appreciated the back cover, which explicitly stated in bold letters: "NO VIOLENCE, PROFANITY, NUDITY OR SUGGESTIVE THEMES." Where can you get such bold reassurance these days? We were also impressed with the quality of the production. The music was great, and the acting was well above our expectations. We laughed and shuddered and cried right on cue! It is amazing to think that homeschooling father Manny Edwards did this on a "budget."
In addition to all of these points, there are some special features not often found with other DVDs: a 20 minute Film School video, Director's Commentary track, and a Home School project, complete with instructions and discussion questions! What more could any parent want?
We have sung the praises of this film to anyone who will listen. Having heard all about it from a certain enthusiastic little boy, we are already planning to invite Grandma over for another movie night - as soon as I get it back from my friend who could not wait to show her family, that is. To sum up our overall impression of "Mysterious Ways," I think our nine-year-old son said it best when he said "It is STUPENDOUS!"

From the Director: Preserving Libraries
It's a great time to show your library some love.
A recent national media article has chronicled the devastating effects of budget cuts to U.S. public libraries, noting that many are currently threatened with staff cuts, reduced hours and even branch closings. It seems incomprehensible, but libraries are not immune to the cutbacks facing so many other vital services and institutions in our communities.
At KDL, most of our budget (87 percent) comes directly from taxpayers like you, through your property taxes. When property values decline, so does our funding. Additional cuts anticipated at the state level next year could amount to an added loss of $1.1 million in revenue for KDL. These cuts come as patrons are using KDL's services even more due to the tough economy. If Governor Snyder's plan to eliminate personal property taxes for businesses is approved without some form of replacement funds for libraries, cuts that are happening at other public libraries will happen here too.
We have worked hard to keep past cuts from impacting those services most valued by our patrons. Still, you have likely noticed fewer copies of books on the shelves, a decreased number of library employees at your local branch, or perhaps we no longer offer a program you have come to enjoy. While we remain dedicated to providing you with the very best service possible no matter the financial circumstances, we could use your help to preserve the library services you love.
I've listed below a few simple things you can do to support the library:
- Donate to the KDL Fund. No gift is too small!
- Write your legislator. Your message can be as simple as: "I love my library. Replace, don't erase, the personal property tax."
- Be an advocate. Tell your friends and family about KDL, the great services we provide and what the library means to you.
- Continue to use the library. Whether you come through our doors or use services on our website, the more you use KDL, the more you prove that libraries remain an invaluable community resource.
As director of KDL, I plan to loudly voice my intention to preserve public libraries for our generation and for many more to come. Please join me.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge says by "any measure, any yardstick, any barometer," the U.S. is safer now than it was five years ago.
Ridge says in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, there's more security and technology in place. He also says people have become more vigilant and aware of their surroundings.
However, there's still work to do. The former homeland chief says the U.S. still does not have a broad-based national communications network for first responders. He also has a warning for citizens. Ridge says in a post-9/11world, it's best to accept the reality that "America remains the number one target" for terrorists.

Police: Burned SUV with bodies is missing family's
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
PHOENIX (AP) — An SUV found burning in the desert with five bodies inside was registered to the home of a missing family of five, including three children, police in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe said Tuesday.
An acquaintance reported to police on Monday that the Butwin family of Tempe was missing, Tempe police Sgt. Jeff Glover said.
Responding investigators found "suspicious and concerning" evidence in the home but no people, and they began treating the case as a murder-suicide. The family's Ford SUV also was gone.
Meanwhile, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office was investigating the discovery of five bodies found burned beyond recognition in a Ford SUV in the desert 35 miles south of Phoenix on Saturday.
Glover said the sheriff's office has since notified them that the SUV in the desert was registered to the Butwin family's home.
The bodies have not been positively identified because they were burned so badly beyond recognition, the sheriff's office said Tuesday.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Monday the location of the smoldering SUV in a known smuggling corridor and the nature of the crime itself have him all but certain that a violent smuggling cartel was responsible.
Babeu said the burned car likely is the same car that a Border Patrol agent saw four hours earlier Saturday when it was still dark.
The agent saw a stopped white Ford Expedition and became suspicious, but when he approached, the vehicle fled and the agent lost it, Babeu said.
When the sun came up, the same agent saw car tracks in the area leading into the desert and shortly after, found a smoldering white Ford Expedition, Babeu said.
When the agent approached the car, he saw four burned bodies lying down in the cab of the vehicle, and one body in the back passenger seat.

Putting the new CBR600F through its paces. Part one..
WITH weather more suited to testing outboard motors than motorcycles, I find myself in Seville for the European Launch Test of the new Honda CBR600F. It was dry in the morning but it really bucketed down after lunch. Shame I left my flippers at home!
Full review on the CBR600F coming soon, but meantime check out this video of a 0-100-0 run. It might be aimed more at those coming into - or back to - motorcycling, but as you can see; it's no slouch.
Oh and, it might be dry in the video but it poured down.

Emla Cream is a hot topic in and around the tattoo industry. Basically, it is a numbing cream that is applied to the surface of the skin. It is used to temporarily numb the surface of the skin before potentially painful medical procedures such as injections, taking blood and minor skin surgery.
Sooner or later you know people were going to start to ask if emla cream could be used to numb the skin to help with tattoo pain.
What you will find here is an objective view based on reader and artist feedback to see if elma cream is for you.
To buy Emla Cream and see for yourself, click the link below, type emla into the search box, and click go.

There are basically 2 schools of thought on this subject. Those who think you should just suck it up and deal with the pain of being tattooed as part of the whole tattoo "experience", and those who think that if you can get help with the pain, why not do it?
Here are some actual e-mailed responses to this heated debate:
"i dont understand the issue with pain…i have tattooed myself, pierced myself, scarified myself. the only time i ever wished for a serious pain reliever was when my ear drum burst…suck it up or go get henna tats."
"i used emla yesterday for my first tattoo around my wrist, i left it on for 1 1/2 hours and i felt nothing! i was amazed and relieved that it worked! if you want a tattoo but are nervous about not knowing how it will feel, get some emla cream, its amazing!"
"thanks chris. been searching the web for some faith in a numbing cream (emla) for tats. getting my tattoo in a few days around my wrist and im a coward with pain so its nice to know u got ur tat and it didnt hurt. gonna get mine now. thanks a mil!"
"If you can't handle pain you shouldn't get a tattoo. Pain in a tattoo is relative because you are having a needle jabbed into your skin 100's -1000's of times a session. More often then not, Emla only numbs the 1st layer of skin, and a tattoo penetrates into the 2nd and 3rd layer. Which leaves pain in the 2nd-3rd layer. Thus, meaning you pretty much wasted your money and time getting the Emla.
So suck up the pain and get over it. It only hurts for a little bit!"
"Everyone has a different tolerance to pain and if you need something to take the hurt down a few notches who's to say weather or not you should?
I've had both my arms quarter sleeved and my thigh covered without any pain reliever, but I'm sure glad I had my EMLA for my love handles and arm pit.
If the end product is the same weather you use some kind of cream or not, what does it matter how you get there?
Its kinda like walking a path with a fork in the road. You can choose either path because they both end at the same spot, one path is just rockier then the other."
"Hi, I got 2 of my three tattoos with emla cream, my first tattoo was without any cream across my lower back and i nearly passed out, when I heard about this cream, I decided to chance another tattoo, This one is on the top of my back coming from my neck, its about the size as a 20 pack of smokes, black butterfly, I hardly felt anything, I was amazed! Very happy,
BUT my last tattoo was on the side of my foot, black only stars going up my foot, I applied the cream like the last time, but I felt the pain of the tattoo. Mabye because its very senitive there with not much flesh. It did ease the pain a little, it was just bare-able."
I highly recommend it!
Good luck!
How to Use Emla Cream
EMLA Cream must be applied two hours before the procedure to the area that the artist plans to tattoo.
Before applying EMLA Cream, wash the skin in the area that the artist plans to tattoo with warm soapy water and a wash cloth. Rub the skin gently for a few minutes with the wash cloth to remove all dirt and oil from the skin.
The cream should be applied very thick (about 1\4 inch thick) to the site of the tattoo. You also need to apply the cream to the skin 1/2 inch past the area to be treated.
Cover the area with saran-wrap being careful not to press on the cream in order for it to remain thick.
Secure the edges of saran-wrap with medical tape to avoid leakage.
*Skin may remain numb for an hour or more after tattooing.
*Tattoo Tips Disclaimer*
Make sure to discuss your intentions with your tattoo artist to make sure they are O.K. with the use of numbing creams and/or if they are willing to do the tattoo in the first place.

Do NOT use EMLA Cream if:
* you are allergic to any ingredient in EMLA Cream or to other similar medicines
* you have the blood disorder methemoglobinemia
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using EMLA Cream:
Some medical conditions may interact with EMLA Cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
* if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
* if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
* if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substance
* if you have severe liver disease, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, or a perforated ear drum
* if you have been ill
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with EMLA Cream. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
* Antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, dofetilide, mexiletine, tocainide), beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), cimetidine, or other medicines containing lidocaine or prilocaine because the risk of side effects or toxic effects, including heart or nerve problems, may be increased
* Acetaminophen, acetanilid, aniline dyes (eg, p-phenylenediamine), benzocaine, chloroquine, dapsone, naphthalene, nitrates (eg, nitroglycerin, isosorbide), nitrites (eg, sodium nitrite), nitrofurantoin, nitroprusside, pamaquine, para-aminosalicylic acid, phenacetin, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primaquine, quinine, or sulfonamides (eg, sulfamethoxazole) because the risk of side effects, including blood problems, may be increased
* Succinylcholine because the risk of its side effects may be increased by EMLA Cream
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if EMLA Cream may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

Daughters of Ireland: The Rebellious Kingsborough Sisters and the Making of a Modern Nation
Ballantine Books, Mar 1, 2005 - Biography & Autobiography - 346 pages
They were known as the Ascendancy, the dashing aristocratic elite that controlled Irish politics and society at the end of the eighteenth century—and at their pinnacle stood Caroline and Robert King, Lord and Lady Kingsborough of Mitchelstown Castle. Heirs to ancient estates and a vast fortune, Lord and Lady Kingsborough appeared to be blessed with everything but marital love—which only made the scandal that tore through their family more shocking. In 1798, at the height of a rebellion that was setting Ireland ablaze, Robert King was tried for the murder of his wife's cousin—a crime born of passion that proved to have extraordinary political implications. In her brilliant new book, Janet Todd unfolds the fascinating story of how this powerful Anglo-Irish family became entwined with the downfall not only of their class, but of their very way of life.
Like Amanda Foreman's bestselling Georgiana, Daughters of Ireland brings to life the world of a glittering elite in an age of international revolution. When her daughters, Margaret and Mary, were at their most impressionable, Lady Kingsborough hired the firebrand feminist Mary Wollstonecraft to be their governess, little realizing how radically this would alter both girls' beliefs and characters. The tall, striking Margaret went on to provide crucial support to the United Irishmen in the days leading up to the Rebellion of 1798, while soft, pleasing Mary indulged in an illicit, and all but incestuous love affair that precipitated multiple tragedies.
As the Kingsboroughs imploded, the most powerful and colorful figures of the day were swept up in their drama—the dashing aristocrat turned revolutionary Lord Edward Fitzgerald; the liberal, cultivated Countess of Moira, a terrible snob despite her support of Irish revolutionaires; the notorious philanderer Colonel George King, whose sexual debauchery was matched only by his appalling cruelty; Britain's cold calculating prime minister William Pitt and its mad ruler King George III.
With irresistible narrative drive and richly intimate historic detail, Daughters of Ireland an absolutely spellbinding work of history, biography, passion, and rebellion.

Barnes' father Raymond Barnes said he did not know exactly what happened but thought his son was "just silly, not thinking" and messing around with dry ice without realizing the severity of what might occur.
"Whatever it was, there was nothing sinister about it," Barnes told KCBS-TV on Wednesday. "He's a good kid. Never been in any trouble."
Calls to the address Barnes shares with his father rang unanswered Wednesday and Thursday.
Dry-ice bombs are easy to make, and on a much smaller scale, are sometimes used as classroom chemistry demonstrations, said John Goodpaster, an explosives expert at the Purdue School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
The size of the explosion, however, can vary greatly depending on the container's size, material and the amount of dry ice used, he said.
The devices could cause injuries to people nearby if the built-up pressure was high enough and included flying bottle shards, he said.
"This is a simple device. It's not a pipe bomb filled with gunpowder, but it definitely will generate an explosion," Goodpaster said. "If somebody was throwing something out, they could have been injured."

IMPORTANT NOTE on CLOSED Classes: All the online classes and many of the on-campus classes close quickly. You should register ASAP if you are interested in any class. If you change your mind, please drop the class immediately so others can enroll. If the class is closed, consider the Wait List procedures; be aware of the rules and the limitations. Otherwise, consider these options: 1) register for another section if available; 2) register for another class; 3) consider registering in a future semester; 4) show up for the first day of an on-campus class and discuss with the instructor; or 5) forget about it and move on. The instructor will not intervene with the wait list procedure.
Please be aware that, once a class reaches maximum enrollment and "closes," on or after the first day of the semester, even if "available" spaces appear on SURF due to drops, it is within the instructor's complete discretion on whether to add more students at that time. Drops after the first day are normal attrition and are factored in when setting the maximum enrollment. The class has started and important assignments and subject matter have already been covered. Please do not email the instructor. Thank you for your understanding.
Teaching Philosophy/Style and Class Management/Activities
I want students to learn the fundamentals of real estate finance based on their individual objectives and their future goals in real estate. Being active in the mortgage and finance business, I bring an abundance of practical knowledge and applications to the classroom and integrate this information with the finance theory from the text book. I believe that the lessons that I have learned and continue to learn in the mortgage business will greatly benefit students that want to be real estate professionals and assist them with already knowing solutions to the many pitfalls that exist in the real estate business.
We start each class with current events as the procedures, trends, and guidelines that affect real estate finance can change on a daily basis. Students will have group problems based on selecting the best loan for certain customer profiles. They will also learn through an investment exercise how to invest in real estate for themselves and their customers throughout the country. Our many guest speakers will bring various industry real world expertises to share with the students. Students will learn how to develop a business plan and identify their sources of business so they will be on the fast track when they are licensed. The basic goal is to give students the tools to create more opportunities to enhance their careers and their professional development.
I cover a multitude of career paths as it relates the real estate industry. I also address ways to develop personal goals for achieving financial success with real estate.

Police clash over bribe sharing
Two police personnel were suspended and three others were withdrawn from their work, on Monday night, following an alleged clash among cops over sharing of bribes at Ashulia Police Station.
Md Asaduzzaman, deputy inspector general (DIG) of Dhaka police, formed a probe committee, headed by additional police superintendent Sheikh Rafiqul Islam, to investigate the matter. It has already started investigation into the incident.
SM Badrul Alam, officer-in-charge (operations) of Ashulia Police Station, said, "Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Mizanur Rahaman and constable Shah Alam were suspended temporarily, while sub-inspector Sekandar Hossain, and two constables Shahidul Islam and Bacchu Miah were withdrawn from their work in the department."
According to sources, the accused had released a criminal, after taking a bribe of Tk. 20,000, in the Yearpur area on Saturday night. The policemen, who were allegedly involved in the incident, denied the allegation. They described the whole thing as a conspiracy against them.
Sources said Mizanur Rahman had given only Tk. 500 to each of the constables, keeping the rest of the bribe money for himself. This created a furore, as the constables demanded a bigger share. At one stage, while they were engaged in a scuffle, ASI Mizan had allegedly hit constable Shah Alam on the head, leaving him critically injured.
Sensing trouble, Mizan then secretly brought the injured constable to the nearby Gonoshahthaya Medical College Hospital for treatment.
Senior police officials, including the superintendent of police in Dhaka district, Mizanur Rahman, and additional superintendent Sheikh Rafiqul Islam reported the whole incident to the higher authorities.
Talking to The Independent, Mizan denied the allegations against him, and termed the allegation of taking bribes as a conspiracy. "I did not arrest anyone from Yearpur on Saturday night. I went to the house of one Abu Bakar Siddiki in Doshaied under Ashulia, who was wanted, in connection with a case filed with the court. But when he showed me his bail bond, I came back to the police station," he said.

The one thing beginners usually find really hard to understand about playing Falkow... and that is you are NOT trying to kill all of the opponent's cards in route to winning.
A philosophy of "I am going to play units, attack, and smash and burn all my opponent's cards" is a Gowen (red) way to play the game.
You have cards like Return, and great spirits like Sylph and Undine. None of these cards kill anything on their own. What you are basically trying to do, is "defeat the opponent's strategy."
So like there are a lot of cards in the game, where two cards together make a super powered combo that destroys all in it's path. However on their own, these cards are very weak. The strength of your file, is that you can disrupt the opponent's synergy and expose weaknesses (assuming he makes mistakes) using Return and Tidalwave.
