Ballerina Piggy Party (28 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
When my daughter turned 3, she asked for a ballerina party. But she wanted it to be a Piggy Ballerina Party. She loves all things PINK and her favorite animal is the pig. So, I set out to create a fun and pretty Piggy Ballerina Party.
I worked with Piggy Bank Parties who created a beautiful hand illustrated drawing of Tulip the Ballerina Piggy. She was perfect and the entire collection set the tone for the party.
I included plenty of ballerina touches like pink tulle...which I also used for the cake table backdrop. I also added pink ceramic piggies throughout the party. I also used pink & yellow gingham to add more color.
The cake table tulle backdrop was further dressed up with beautiful pink poms from Pom Flair. I made the cake and the topper which was my 3D version of the Tulip the Ballerina Piggy. A beautiful glittery name banner created by The Purple Pug was the perfect finishing touch for the cake.
The girls had their nails painted and glitter tattoos applied as well. They dressed in ballet leotards and once they received their own pink tutus, the ballerinas couldn't help but dance.
They also enjoyed some craft time, decorating their own ceramic pink piggy banks to take home.
Our little ballerinas had a wonderful and my birthday girl loved her party!

How about a (second) lift?
The top lift of the Kansas test pavement is about 1.5 inches thick, laid over the 11¾-inch bottom lift. Photo: Koss Construction Co.
A concrete spreader places the top lift over the still wet, low-slump bottom lift on a section of test pavement along Interstate 70 west of Abilene, Kan. Photo: Koss Construction Co.
The idea of placing concrete pavement in two lifts is not new. By the turn of the last century, pavement engineers could recognize the potential advantages of using different concrete mixtures for base and surface layers, and a two-lift paving process called "Granitoid Concrete Streets" was patented in 1906. The Granitoid process used normal ready-mixed concrete with inexpensive aggregates for the first 5 inches, followed by a top lift that contained crushed granite rock and less fine aggregate, to produce a very hard and durable surface. Some Granitoid streets built in 1909 and 1910 are still in service today in Minnesota and North Dakota.
In the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, a two-lift technique often was used to facilitate the placement of welded wire mesh reinforcement in concrete highway pavements . After placing a first concrete layer approximately half of the finished pavement thickness, crews would set the wire mesh on the wet concrete between dowel baskets. Then, before the first layer stiffened, a second layer of the same concrete mix was placed on top of the mesh, and a paving machine finished the surface. According to a 2004 report by the Center for Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Technology, this process was used successfully in several states.
After 1970, concrete pavement design trends moved away from mesh reinforcement in favor of shorter panels of plain pavement, dowelled or undowelled depending on traffic volumes. Eliminating the mesh also eliminated the need for two-lift construction in most cases. In the years since, relatively few two-lift concrete pavements have been built in the United States, typically for test or demonstration projects.
In 2006, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) organized one of its periodic scan tours, "Long-Life Concrete Pavements in Europe and Canada," which gave participants the chance to observe the techniques and performance of two-lift concrete pavements firsthand. The scan team included representatives of FHWA, state DOTs, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program , academia, and the consulting, cement, and concrete pavement industries.
The scan tour's objective was to study the materials, design strategies, construction methods, and maintenance practices that European countries have used to extend the useful life of concrete highway pavements up to 40 years and more. Because long-life pavements require less frequent repair, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, they help to improve highway safety and ease traffic congestion—two of the main goals of the U.S. highway community.
One technique the scan team observed was two-lift concrete paving. In Austria, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, two-lift highway pavements have become standard. Two main reasons account for its popularity:
After the tour, scan team member Andrew Gisi, of the Kansas DOT (KDOT), worked with FHWA to arrange construction of a demonstration two-lift concrete pavement in the state. The project's goal was to test the viability of using standard paving equipment in a two-lift process as an alternative to the jointed plain pavement design most common in the United States. The demonstration would comprise several test sections totaling about 4 miles long, built along Interstate 70 west of Abilene.
Koss Construction Co., Topeka, Kan., was engaged to construct the test pavement. Before beginning the I-70 project , the contractor opted to build a smaller-scale test near Pleasanton to help crews become familiar with the two-lift process. Koss consulted with Dr. Hermann Sommer , an Austrian paving expert who provided training and advice on its details and features. Koss Construction President David Howard says this training helped clear up some confusion about the two-lift technique and led to some modification of the process. "We used a set retarder and wax curing compound for the initial training section, but the curing compound didn't work too well, so we switched to plastic sheeting for the I-70 test pavements," he says.
The test pavement was placed on an approximately 6-inch-thick base of recycled concrete produced from the existing concrete pavement. The 16-inch bottom lift featured a standard KDOT mix using locally available limestone aggregates. The bottom lift concrete was treated with admixtures to add stiffness and prevent segregation. The 1.6-inch top lift contained hard-wearing rhyolite aggregate imported from Oklahoma, to provide a durable surface layer.
Koss Construction set up a large plant onsite, with two mixing drums to produce concrete for both the bottom and top lifts. Color coding was used to ensure the proper mix was delivered to the spreaders placing each lift. For the bottom lift, a belt spreader placed concrete on the base, followed closely by a slipform paver to form the pavement profile. The bottom lift concrete was stiff enough to walk on almost immediately after it was placed.
A second spreader and slipform paver were used to place the top lift concrete, following within 200 feet of the first equipment. This spacing is important, because two-lift paving is a "wet-on-wet" process that requires the lifts to bond without intermingling. The top lift concrete was a higher-slump mix, so the top-lift paver used a lower vibration rate to achieve a consistent layer.
The four I-70 test sections received different surface textures, which included longitudinal tining, grooving, Astroturf drag, and exposed aggregate, to allow KDOT to compare their performances. For the exposed aggregate section, the top lift mix contained finer sand and smaller rhyolite aggregate. The surface was sprayed with a retarder to keep the concrete from setting, and then covered with plastic sheeting to cure for about five hours. After the curing period, the sheeting was removed, and the surface was broomed to remove the surface paste and expose the aggregate.
Subsequent sound tests performed on all four of the textured surfaces showed lower tire-pavement noise levels than conventional concrete pavements.
The test successfully demonstrated the viability of the two-lift technique. "We lost some production speed [compared to conventional highway paving]," Howard says, "but not as much as we'd expected. We're used to working on large projects, so we had enough equipment to keep the work moving. It's not a big step to go from single-lift to two-lift paving if it's beneficial."
The benefits are mostly environmental, achieved by using resources efficiently and improving long-term performance.

Windsor Scores First Career Goal as Men's Soccer Wins 1-0
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (9/15/13) - Freshman Bryan Windsor scored his first career goal as the Princeton men's soccer team earned its first win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Seton Hall on Sunday, Sept. 15 on Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium.
The lone goal came in the 63rd minute with sophomores Thomas Sanner and Nico Hurtado assisting. Sanner cross a shot into the box from the left side and it was blocked by a Seton Hall defender and right to the feet of Hurtado at the top of the 18. Hurtado fired and keeper Julian Spindler made the stop by the ball but didn't control the rebound as Windsor pounced on it and fired it home.
Senior keeper Seth MacMillan made four saves in his first win of the season. His biggest save game in the game's final five minutes when Seton Hall started to get a sense of urgency. A corner kick from Samuel Geiler reached the far side of the box and Bolu Akinyode got a foot on it and fired on goal. MacMillan was right in position to stop the shot and keep his team ahead 1-0.
Spindler made one save and a team save was credited about 10 minutes after the Princeton goal when Hurtado couldn't get enough mustard on the ball as a defender came screaming on to toe the ball off the line.
The Pirates had a 15-10 advantage in shots, while the Tigers had a 5-2 edge in shots on goal and took one more corner kick, 8-7.
Princeton now 1-2 on the season faces its first non-New Jersey squad of the season when it travels to Loyola on Wednesday, Sept. 18 for a 7 p.m., game.

Two Police Officers Arrested for Drunk Driving
While police officers are typically on the lawful side of most DUI arrests, the men in blue are not immune to the hazards of drinking and driving.
Two recent incidents highlight the sobering fact that arrests for drunk driving can happen to anyone, regardless of their standing in the community.
First, in Portland, Ore., an off-duty police officer was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence after a local sheriff's deputy discovered him sleeping in his car on the side of an Oregon highway.
According to the Houston Chronicle, the officer, Randy Vanderhoof, has worked with the Portland Police Department's K-9 unit for several years, and is a 19-year veteran of the police force.
After the arrest, Portland Police Chief Michael Reese emphasized that his department holds every citizen accountable to the law, regardless of their rank.
Reese also observed that officers face unique professional stresses, and said that they sometimes resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Reese claimed that Vanderhoof would have access to whatever counseling he needed after the incident.
While the arrest of a police officer is always a bit surprising, this incident also raises an important issue with respect to driving under the influence.
In most states, people can be charged with a DUI even if they are not actually driving. In many areas, if someone is intoxicated and is merely sitting in the driver's seat without going anywhere, that person may still be arrested for a DUI.
With that in mind, the Houston Chronicle, which seems particularly concerned with the criminal fate of police officers across the country, also reported on another similar incident.
According to the newspaper, a police captain in Hastings, Neb., also recently suffered the embarrassment of a DUI arrest.
Sources indicate that 43-year-old Gene Boner rolled his pickup late at night while driving in Hastings. When police responded to the scene, they arrested Boner on suspicion of drunk driving. Fortunately, Boner was not injured in the incident.
After his arrest, the police captain was taken to a county jail, where he stayed for a few minutes before being released on bond.
Local police officials said they have placed Boner on administrative leave and that an internal investigation will determine the officer's future role with the police department.
The arrests of police officers for unpopular criminal offenses sometimes raise a bit of celebratory gloating from members of the public.
However, the recent incidents in Nebraska and Oregon show just how dangerous drunk driving can be. In addition, they reveal that no one is immune from the potential legal consequences of driving while intoxicated.
If veteran police officers sleeping on the side of the highway can be arrested for a DUI, everyone who gets behind the wheel with alcohol in their system is running the risk of a possible arrest.

I think it's time you've all seen my real face.
Let me know what you think, loves.
What does that mean?
you look like a nigger
A nigger that left you at the altar.
There goes the neighborhood.
I left you Kaez. You were too much. You were smothering me. You were too needy, Kaez! You were so jealous. I couldn't talk to any other men or you thought I was cheating on you. That's why it's over Kaez. That's why it's over forever.
you look like a black model.
That sets so many people up to say random stuff, this will be fun
I have the same necklace that Kaez has That's freaky!
Then love him for who he is, he is aloud to talk to other men. Don't you trust him enough, to let him talk to other men? A relationship without trust will never work Kaez, remember that.
forgive and forget. Move on and maybe you'll find real love
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
Forgive and forget, forgive and forget. HAve some gay sex with eachother and then it will all be fine.
I'd hit it.
Error does not become Truth because it is widely accepted;
Truth does not become error, even when it stands alone.

Aug. 9, 2000
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Pac-10 could soon have a postseason basketball tournament.
The conference's athletic directors voted Wednesday, August 3, to recommend an eight-team men's tournament at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, as well as a 10-team women's tournament to be played at a campus arena.
Two other panels, including one made up of university presidents, must ratify the agreement in October if it is to take effect for the 2001-02 season.
The Pac-10 is the only Division I conference besides the Ivy League that does not have a postseason basketball tournament.
Some of the league's coaches, including Arizona's Lute Olson, have long resisted the idea, saying it would cut into class time. They also point to the conference's first attempt at a tournament from 1987-90 as a financial failure.
But Pac-10 assistant commissioner Jim Muldoon said college basketball tournaments have become more economically sound in the past decade.
"In the last year or two the climate has changed a bit to a feeling that a tournament might be a positive thing for the Pac-10," Muldoon said.
He also said the new plan might actually cause players to miss less class time in the long run because the regular season would be pushed back one week into the winter break.
Deals with the Staples Center and for television rights would "make for a very bright financial prospect for a tournament," Muldoon said.
The athletic directors panel does not reveal its vote tallies, but it needed just a simple majority to make the recommendation, Muldoon said.
A majority vote also will get the measure through the Pac-10 Council - made up of faculty athletics representatives, athletic directors and senior women administrators - but the proposal would require the support of eight of the 10 university presidents, who would vote on it Oct. 23.

Does anyone else out there still play the TCG?
I recently stumbled upon a couple of my old decks. Can't find all my other cards, which is really disappointing. I hope I didn't give them away, that sounds like something I would do.
Anyway, thinking of buying some of the new D/P cards.
These are the two old decks I found:
Plant/Fire Deck
14 Trainers
21 Energy
25 Pokemon
9 plant
11 fire
6 Normal
14 Trainers
1 Pokemon Trader
1 Gust of Wind
2 Bills
1 Full Heal
1 Switch
1 Impostor Oak's Revenge
1 Poke Ball
3 potions
3 energy removals
10 Fire Pokemon
2 Charmander
1 Charmeleon
1 Ponyta
1 Brock's Vulpix
1 Blainde's Vulpix
2 Magmar
1 Blaine's Moltres
1 Entei (promo)
10 Plant Pokemon
3 Ekans
1 Dark Arbok
1 Koga's Grimer
1 Exeggcute
2 Tangela
1 Rocket's Scyther
6 Normal Pokemon
Jigglypuff (jungle)
2 Brock's Lickitung
2 Kangaskhan (jungle)
1 Spearow
Plant/Psychic deck
24 Energy
11 Trainers
25 Pokemon
12 psychic energy 12 plant energy
11 Trainers
1 Full Heal Energy
4 potions
1 Super potion
1 The Boss's Way
1 Misty's Duel
2 Gust of Winds
1 Switch
10 Plant Pokemon
2 Paras
1 Parasect
2 Exeggcute
1 Rocket's Scyther
3 Ekans
1 Dark Arbok
10 Psychic Pokemon
1 Sabrina's Abra
4 Rocket Abra
1 Dark Kadabra
2 Kadabra
1 Sabrina's Gastly
1 Sabrina's Mr. Mime
5 Normal
1 Kangaskhan (jungle)
2 Spearow
1 Fearow
1 Farfetch'd
Anyway, I'm open for criticism. What do you think of the low energy? I remember doing pretty well with the fire deck. Obviously it depends on the luck of the draw.
Basically I can only switch between these two decks, I have about 20 more cards but I can't find the others... I'm a sad panda about that too
I can't find my Charizard card! If I did anything stupid like give it away I'm going to be pissed.
Think I may head to Uber Geek Gear (a shop) later and pick up a sapphire deck just to get a treecko card. (even if it sucks, that is just an uber cute pokemon and I really need to get at least one gardevoir) I'll probably pick up a couple booster packs too.
I don't really want to get too many more because I am really becoming a minimalist. All the wanton materialism in America just doesn't do it for me any more. Go fig. *shrug*

Bill Siles
Watch Siles' best things about UIS
Meet Bill Siles
Associate Professor,
- B.A. History: SUNY-Buffalo, Buffalo, New York
- M.A. History: University of Massachusetts, Amherst
- Ph.D. History: University of Massachusetts, Amherst
- I got involved in the study of American history in my childhood.
When I was growing up outside of Buffalo, New York, I asked
my neighbors who built my house;
I asked my barber how the business area developed.
I learned some very interesting answers.
From there, I found that I had an interest in political history and I followed American history and Political history as an undergraduate in the University of Buffalo. I have side interests in the 1920s, Revivalism and American Agricultural History.
Interesting facts:
- I like classical music, jazz, bicycling and sailing. I've always enjoyed sailing on the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine. I like baseball and I follow the Red Sox. I also have a really strong interest in the game of squash. I usually play squash twice a week at our recreation center. I hope to get a group of undergraduates playing the game.
Dr. Siles playing squash at the UIS rec center.
Major project underway:
- I have finished a first draft of a manuscript on the peopling of central and western New York after the American Revolution. That's the part that has to do with the urban frontier—the way in which civilization moved across the country. I maintain that it is on the basis of group settlement and the actual survey of land into parcels that were designed to be villages and towns.
Learning philosophy:
- I think the Socratic dialogue and the use of critical reading skills are foremost, then our discussion based on understandings gleaned from the reading, and then the application of those understandings.
Community Connections:
- I have sat on a variety of boards for the community such as the Springfield Art Association, the Museum of Funeral Customs, and others. In the fall, I hope to teach squash at TRAC, our recreation center on campus.
Advice to prospective students:
- Be able to study and socialize. The very best students are those who can get good grades and still enjoy the undergraduate experience. That is a trick that requires self discipline and ruthless organization. Be very well organized and manage your time well. If you can be organized, you can devote certain amounts of your time to your studies and being a good student, yet still have time for social activities. Get As in both areas.

A seven-year Major League Baseball veteran, Andy Stankiewicz begins fourth season as an assistant coach at Arizona State University. Stankiewicz joined ASU from the New York Yankees organization, where he spent four and a half years as a coach and scout. He was the Yankees southwest area scout prior to joining the Sun Devils.
"What an outstanding infield coach you have on your staff. Having spent the last three years with Andy in the Yankees organization, I know he is a dedicated and very knowledgeable infield coach. He is a great student of the game and his work ethic is tremendous. Having coached him as a player and worked with him as and instructor, I'm certain that you have one of the finest young infield coaches in the game. Congratulations and continued success to the ASU baseball program."
Bucky Dent, Cincinnati Reds bench coach
Stankiewicz joined the college ranks one year removed from a successful managerial stint in the Yankees minor league system. He spent 2004 and 2005 as the manager of the Staten Island Yankees, the class A affiliate of the New York Yankees. Stankiewicz led Staten Island to the 2005 NY-Penn League Championship in only his second year as a manager. Before managing Staten Island, Stankiewicz spent two seasons as the defensive coordinator and roving infield instructor for all the New York Yankees Minor League teams. He also spent one season as the hitting instructor for the Gulf Coast Yankees in the Rookie League. Stankiewicz was a standout infielder for the Pepperdine Waves from 1983-1986. His name is listed in several Top 10 lists on the Pepperdine Career Offensive Leaders, including Runs (172), Triples (9), At Bats (755), Stolen Bases (101) and Games Played (220). Following a stellar 1985 junior season, Stankiewicz was selected in the 18th round of the MLB draft by the Detroit Tigers, but returned to school for his senior season. In the 1986 draft, the New York Yankees selected him in the 12th round. Stankiewicz went on the play 16 seasons of professional baseball, seven of them at the Major League level. His big league resume includes years with the Yankees (1992-93), Astros (1994-95), Expos (1996-97) and as an original member of the Arizona Diamondbacks during the franchise's inaugural 1998 season. He retired as a player following the 2001 professional season. Stankiewicz was a part of four championship teams during his professional playing career. He was a member of the 1987 Florida State League champions (Ft. Lauderdale), won back-to-back Eastern League titles in 1988 and 1989 (Albany), and won the 1991 International League championship (Columbus). As both a player and manager, Stankiewicz has been a member of five championship teams at the professional level. Andy and his wife Mari Ana live in Gilbert with their four children Dane, Marisa, Drew and Mia.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING "The ASU baseball program is fortunate to have Andy on its staff. Not only is he a gifted and knowledgeable coach, but he is a man who will make a life-long difference in the lives of those around him. He is a man of integrity who thinks of others higher than himself. I look forward to seeing the impact he will make." -- Major League veteran Jay Bell "Andy Stankiewicz is a great addition to the baseball staff at ASU. Andy combines an outstanding knowledge of the game with a passion for teaching and developing young baseball players. I had the pleasure of managing Andy in 1998 and always appreciated his approach, work ethic and dedication to his team. There is no doubt that Andy will have a lasting and positive impact on Sun Devil student-athletes." -- Buck Showalter, Manager - New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers "There are no baseball people who I hold in higher regard than Andy Stankiewicz. Andy was an exceptional player, coach, manager and scout for the Yankees. His impact on our organization has been extraordinary. Andy is a winner, a great teacher of the game and a man of the highest honesty and integrity. A parent could not trust their son's development to a finer person and coach." -- Mark Newman, SVP Baseball Operations, New York Yankees

I love your podcasts--I also listen to the Pulp Gamer podcast. While catching up on your older casts, I heard about Pandemic. So though we're late getting started with it, I wanted to thank you & let you know how much our family is enjoying the game. We have a 10 and 8 year old who are both excited to play it often. Even our 8 year old is able to participate quite well, especially because of the cooperative "table talk" for strategy.
Thanks for t all of your work with the podcasts! Karen
I really love your podcasts! Thanks to you all.

The City of Stuttgart could have a new shopping center if all goes well.
James Family Properties, LLLP, of Little Rock, has asked and received a recommendation from the Stuttgart Planning Commission for 7.254 acres of land across from Walmart on East 22nd Street to be rezoned from I-1 to B-2.
"We believe that the proposed development would be a good use for this property, as well as being good for the City of Stuttgart by enhancing the available retail options and generating jobs and sales tax revenue," attorney William C. Adkisson said in a written letter to the commission.
The rezoning request was approved Tuesday night at the monthly commission meeting. It will now go before the Stuttgart City Council at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Stuttgart City Hall.
Dave Constien with James Family Properties LLLP said the company is presently under contract with the property's owners, Union Pacific Railroad.
He said they won't close until after February and further details about the shopping center are still unavailable.
The commission has also approved a recommendation to re-elect Bill Holbert and Norma Strabala for a three-year term on the commission.
They also tabled discussion on mobile food vendors and possible ordinances governing the vendors for further study.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Xbox 360) review
"This final chapter in the trilogy provides what is unquestionably the purest adrenaline rush that the series has yet seen. Im left imagining someone on the development team turning a giant crank until it rests at 11 and then just leaving it there. Explosions are huge. Planes crash. Buildings collapse. There are moments that feel like they were torn out of the previous games, except here the ante has been upped."

"There were demonstrations going the entire year and people would gather, mostly men, at Brown Chapel which was right across the street at the big housing project in Selma," Sr. Josepha tells Msgr. Kevin Sullivan during their radio interview. "They would march to City Hall and if they couldn't get in they would kneel on the steps and pray and just turn around and head back."
A member of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Rochester, Sister Josepha worked in the 1960s in the one-story St. Elizabeth School in Selma. This Catholic school, she says, offered 120 black children from nearby housing projects a green-and-white-checked uniformed, educationally sound alternative to a neighborhood public school that had no books.
The Civil Rights fight in Selma, she adds, was about "voter registration and voter rights." Black Americans made up more than half the population in Selma yet comprised only 2-percent of registered voters. The marchers – nearly six hundred people in all – were protesting for voter rights and against the death of an unarmed man, shot three weeks earlier by a state trooper while trying protect his mother.
"Crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge you have a four lane highway and that takes you to somewhere called Lowndes County, which is a single lane," Sr. Jospha recalls. "That was KKK Country, and that's where several of the people were killed — killed."
Listen to her first-person account on JustLove with Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, Executive Director of Catholic Charities New York, on The Catholic Channel 129, SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio.
JustLove, aired weekly on Saturday at 10 am EST and Sunday at 5 am EST, features conversations about the church in the world to promote a just and compassionate society.

Reviews for Lemon Crumb Cake
"Followed exactly and was pleased"
"Awesome cake! I followed the recipe as it is posted. I used Wildtree's Lip smackin` lemon filling. Worked out very well! Will definitely make again!"
"I made this exactly as called for and served just slightly still warm with lemon sorbet and it was a "huge" hit. Nothing left."
"I used 2 C all-purpose flour + 1 C cake flour to address previous comments about density. Result was somewhat spongy and held filling well. I was careful to gradually add buttermilk mixture, and not over-beat batter. As murfsgurl (5/10/11) suggested, I added lemon zest and substituted lemon extract for vanilla. I'm still tweaking the crumb topping, but this was pantry perfect for our family. It made for a wonderful breakfast the next morning with coffee."
"make half of the cake batter. Too much when I made it. Though still very good!"

Hebrews 8-10 made me think different and that the True church is one not made by human hands so that means everything else is counterfeit to the real thing. The true followers worship in Spirit and Truth and have no need for anyone to teach them anything God himself teaches us through the Holy Spirit. All that God requires is we live a life of Justice love and mercy towards others.
What has happened in the Christian world is that we follow what we see hence attaching ourselves to a denomination or organization.
Why do we keep looking for a physical representation of the Kingdom? It is already within us.
Luke 17: 20-21 (KJV)
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
This is the Truth that many of us find hard to accept. This is the freedom that the Lord gave those who love him. The True church cannot be seen or touched it is "no part of the world" . Paul also spoke about the true church as one being not built by human hands and we can enter into with boldness and go right into the presence of Almighty God. This is spiritual and not physical.

Words by Korby Benoit
Since my days as a child I've always embraced new friendships. As an adult I'm more keen of my innate need to connect with people and exchange ideas. Commonalities usually bring us all together, yet it is through our differences we can evolve and have a rich exchange of information and perspectives.
I enjoy discovering the musical tastes of my friends. And yes, at times I may develop a genuine connection with a person who simply doesn't appreciate the same music I do. In those instances all is not lost…or is it? (Remember, music is everything!)
If I'm just getting to know a person and they mention their appreciation for the sounds of Ge-Ology and Mark de Clive-Lowe, I'll likely have an emotive response to this information. More specifically, an internal signal alerts me that I'm around my artistic kinfolk. We'll probably enjoy the same events and we might offer each other chunks of musical perspective that we each yearn for, but have yet to discover.
Ge-ology and Mark de Clive-Lowe are both well versed in appealing to an audience through sound. I attended their first installment of ETCetera, a new quarterly event at The303 at Louie and Chan in New York's Lower East Side.

The cell-phone and banking industries have conspired to cook up yet another high-tech task for all of us to learn: mobile banking. And it's catching on fast: Some 39 million Americans are already accessing their bank accounts through their cell phones. The good news is that it's a lot simpler and, with the proper precautions, safer than it might appear to be at first.
Mobile banking is similar to Internet banking, which is used by some 50 million Americans. The main benefit is that your cell phone is more portable than even the smallest netbook. There are three mobile-banking modes:
Mobile banking is convenient. Anytime-anywhere account access makes seat-of-the-pants money management possible. For example, you can review your account balances while waiting in a checkout line to see if you should use your credit or debt card for the purchase.
You can also transfer money between accounts, monitor availability of deposited funds, and pay bills. Your bank can send text alerts when your checking balance is low or when withdrawals and deposits are posted to your account. You can get alerts for debit- and credit-card purchases that exceed a set amount, which might indicate fraud.
The latest innovation, called "remote deposit capture," in mobile-banking parlance, lets you snap a photo of a check with your cell-phone camera and "deposit" it into your account. You can't get cash out of your cell phone yet, but you can use it to find the nearest ATM.
Banks typically charge no additional fees for mobile banking because automation reduces their operating costs. "Mobile banking keeps customers out of the bank branches and keeps them from calling for info, both of which require human staffing and labor costs," says Mark Beccue, a senior analyst at ABI Research, a technology market research firm in Long Island, N.Y.
But you might incur fees from your cellular service carrier. For example, if you buy texting by the message, you'll pay 20 cents per text sent and received, which means it can cost 40 cents to check your balance. That can get pretty pricey, especially if you check balances frequently. You can save money by buying messaging services in bulk. Bundles that let you send or receive 200 to an unlimited number of messages a month will typically cost you $5 to $30 a month.
If you opt to access your accounts via the mobile Web, you'll have to buy data services for your smart phone or feature phone, which can cost $10 to $30 a month for 25MBs to 5GBs of data per month.
For the smoothest mobile Web banking or app-based service, however, you'll want a smart phone, which can cost you $200 or more up front unless you sign a two-year contract. You'll pay less up front if you sign a contract, but the remainder of the phone's cost is built into the monthly bill for the length of the contract.
Of course, your smart phone and data-service costs also pay for the many other data-related things you do with your phone, so mobile banking will represent only a portion of those expenses.
Fear that a crook will steal money from their bank accounts by using their cell phone is a major reason consumers don't sign up for mobile banking, says Mary Monahan, head of research at Javelin. And such concerns aren't totally unwarranted. Smart-phone users in particular should be concerned about security issues that are both similar to Internet threats and specific to mobile devices (see 5 ways to protect your smart phone).
But numerous mobile-banking security redundancies provide plenty of assurances. For starters, if the worst happens, once you report your phone lost or stolen, your carrier can disable it and your bank can shut off phone access to your accounts.
What if you don't realize for a few days that the phone has been filched? The federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act limits your liability for unauthorized electronic banking transactions to $50 as long as you report the theft to the bank within two business days of learning about it. But because banks want to encourage the use of mobile banking and other cost-saving automation, they might provide even better protection. Wells Fargo, for example, extends its online banking guarantee to mobile banking, and it will restore 100 percent of stolen funds as long as you didn't give your online user name, password, or PIN to others and you notify the bank about unauthorized transactions within 60 days of a bank statement showing the fraud.
Smart-phone browsers provide website authentication and verification on secure "https" sites, while banks employ user names, passwords, and other measures to verify your identity and encrypt the data to make it unintelligible to hackers. Banks don't send your passcodes or user names via text, and banking apps don't store password or identifying information about you or your account on the phone itself.
You can also get security software for your mobile device, which is similar to the antivirus, antispyware, antiphishing protections sold for personal computers. Norton Mobile Security, which was still in beta testing as we went to press, is intended to detect and remove malicious software, block unwanted calls and messages, and remotely locate or lock the phone or wipe out its memory if the phone is lost. If your smart phone doesn't come with security software, consider adding it.

Reviews for Family-Favorite Baked Beans
"It is a family favorite! We skip the ground beef and serve with smoked chicken off the grill. What a great dish. To give it just a little extra kick we add in two table spoons of spicy mustard. As a volunteer Taste of Home feild editor familly and friends expect great dishes from my kitchen, this delivers!"
"Hobo Beans....always a hit when feeding a crowd. I really like the addition of the molasses in this recipe. It was a hit at last weekends graduation party."
"Very good and simple to make. I reduced brown sugar to 2 tablespoons; I don't like the beans too sweet. When I tripled the recipe for a group, I used a variety of beans; they're all good. I make it in a slow-cooker rather than the oven."
"This is my Go-To recipe when I want to please a bunch of people. One woman who never eats baked beans said the smell of this dish made her mouth water. She tasted some and got another huge serving. This is a great recipe and I am very picky with baked beans. Just as a FYI, it thickens more the longer it sets. Very delicious. I have tried black beans, northern beans, navy beans and pinto beans. All taste excellent in this recipe."
"This recipe got rave reviews from family at 4th July BBQ. Decided it goes just as well with baked ham for Easter. Used Bush's original baked beans for the pork and beans and KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. Made a double batch but didn't double the meat or molasses. Very yummy!"

Can movies' moral messages increase their Oscar odds? They did last night during the 85th Academy Awards.
Msgr. Kevin Sullivan and. Fr. Michael Tueth, S.J., associate professor of communication and media at Fordham University, focused on movies' moral messages to place their bets on which films would win the Academy Awards when they spoke on JustLove, SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio, aired Saturday, February 23, the night before the awards were announced.
Last night, many of their bets paid off.
Msgr. Sullivan correctly chose Jennifer Lawrence, the emotionally unstable widow featured in Silver Linings Playbook, as Best Actress in a Leading Role.
"It's just so bizarre how in this world if you have asthma, you take asthma medication. If you have diabetes, you take diabetes medication," Jennifer Lawrence said when she accepted the trophy. "But as soon as you have to take medicine for your mind, it's such a stigma behind it."
"That was a movie that had a lot of morality in it," Msgr. Sullivan said, " a sense of both personal responsibility and mutual solidarity."
Meanwhile, Fr. Tueth predicted that Lincoln would win as Best Picture. Although his backup bet – Argo – came in first, Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor in a Leading Role in Lincoln.
"He's thoughtful; he's intelligent and he's compassionate," Fr. Tueth said.
Listen to their conversation on JustLove, the Catholic Channel.
JustLove airs weekly on Saturday at 10 am EST on SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio on The Catholic Channel 129.

It seems like every time we flip on the TV or crack open a magazine, an ad is trying to sell us some kind of youth in a bottle: an extract, pill or powder that can give us longer, healthier, happier lives.
But you don't have to look much further than your garden for some of these "miracles." The active ingredients in many anti-aging supplements and products are found in nature, and some are even easy to grow in your own back yard!
Here's a list of five plants with known anti-aging qualities:
- Sage: There's a good reason this herb is associated with wisdom! Sage contains compounds similar to the ones used to treat Alzheimer's disease, as well as flavonoids that can improve brain function and memory.
- Rosemary: Rosemary contains carsonic acid, which has been shown to reduce the effects of aging on the brain. It can also aid in blood flow to the brain and help with concentration.
- Garlic: These tasty bulbs have been shown to lower cholesterol, thin the blood and lower blood pressure, and garlic is an all-around circulation booster.
- Lemon Verbena: A versatile herb that grows abundantly without a lot of effort, lemon verbena can reduce the appearance of puffy eyes and increases skin circulation.
- Rose hips. The oil found in rose hips, the small buds left behind after a rose dies, can help keep skin supple by moisturizing and increasing collagen production.
What's the best way to prepare and consume the herbs of your choice? Garlic is quite effective
eaten raw, and adding the other fresh herbs to your food can be beneficial,
too. Here are some other ideas:
- To make rose hip oil for your face, follow the same basic instructions in our DIY rose oil tutorial, only use the hips instead of the petals.
- Learn how to dry and preserve your garden herbs
- Make herbal infusions and balms.

A Dover Police Department K-9 officer stopped an armed robbery in progress on the 100 block of South Governors Avenue late Saturday night into Sunday morning and arrested the perpetrators with the aid of back up after a brief pursuit.
The K-9 officer was patrolling the downtown area when he heard a subject screaming for the police while being chased by two suspects on South Governors Avenue, Dover Police Lt. Alan Rachko said. As the officer drove towards them, the suspects observed him and fled to a waiting vehicle he said.
The officer pursued the car onto South New Street where it pulled over, Rachko said. The K-9 officer and an additional police officer who arrived as back up then arrested the three suspects.
Police confiscated a small caliber handgun and three bandanas from the vehicle, Rachko said. It was determined that two of the suspects had covered their faces with the bandanas, displayed the handgun at the victim and demanded money while the third suspect waited in the vehicle to drive them from the scene. The victim fled when he saw the patrol car.
Delvon Henry, 20, of Chestertown, Md., and David Somerville, 20, of Millington, Md., were both charged with robbery in the first degree, possession of firearm during the commission of a felony, wearing a disguise during a felony, conspiracy in the second degree and underage consumption of alcohol. Tyrone Sisco, 20, of Chestertown, Md., was charged with robbery in the first degree, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, conspiracy in the second degree and underage consumption of alcohol, Rachko said.
Henry and Somerville were committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna in lieu of $20,400 secured bond, and Sisco was released after posting his bond, which was also $20,400.

Portugal (POR)
The past
Though Brazil have been considered the planet's finest beach soccer side for years now, in pure talent terms Portugal are not far behind. Indeed, it was the Portuguese who inflicted Brazil's only defeat in FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup history, when sinking A Seleção at the semi-final stage of the inaugural 2005 tournament. In 2001 Madjer, Alan, Hernani and Co also became the only side apart from Brazil to win the competition's predecessor, the Beach Soccer World Championship, with A Verde e Amarelo taking the title at the nine other editions.
Yet it could be said that, given the quality at their disposal, the Lusitanians have somewhat underachieved at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Without a final appearance since finishing runners-up to France in 2005, Portugal did pick up credible third-place podium places at Marseille 2008 and Dubai 2009.
The present
Portugal boast a lethal combination of talent and vast international tournament experience in the trio of Madjer, Alan and Belchior. Euro Beach Soccer League champions in 2010 and runners-up at European qualifying for Ravenna/Italy 2011 – where they were beaten 4-2 by Ukraine in the final – coach Ze Miguel's charges are definitively among the contenders for this year's global crown.
The future
Though their outrageous talent means that Madjer and Alan remain indispensable to the cause, the Portuguese set-up are well aware that they cannot go on forever. With one eye on the future, an effort has been made to start blooding younger players such as Rui Coimbra and 20-year-old attacker Jordan.
Former stars
Hernani, Rodrigues
Key players
Madjer, Alan, Belchior
Qualifying statistics
After racking up six consecutive victories at the European qualifying tournament in Bibione, Italy, the Portuguese went down to a very strong Ukraine side 4-2 in the final.
The numbers game
7 - The incredible number of individual awards Madjer has claimed spanning five editions of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. They are three adidas Golden Boots (2005, 2006 and 2008), two adidas Golden Balls (2005 and 2006) and two adidas Silver Balls (2007 and 2009).

This gun no longer contains
metal bushings.
To quite down the rifle it was switched to a plastic bushing and a metal hop-up from its original ABS hop-up.
People asked for an airsoft rifle to be made in the USA and they got it! The UTG Model 4 series is assembled in the US using the highest quality of components ranging from %100 metal upper and lower receivers, machined metal outer barrel, classic style ABS fore grip, durable functioning charging handle, ergonomic pistol grip and a high quality, quiet gear box.
All of the metal parts, except the upper and lower receiver, are %100 machined for durability and reliability. They body is dye-cast by an actual firearm company for UTG's use in this rifle. The barrel is also %100 machined allowing you to have a durable and reliable barrel that will not bend or break if dropped.
Believe it or not, our favorite thing on the UTG Model 4 series here at tacticalair.com is the pistol grip. It is the most comfortable grip we have encountered on a full kit AEG. It is a synthetic grip that is lined with rubber and textured for grip and then shammed with a palm swell and small pronounced thumb rest. This however is regrettably only for right handed shooters but even lefties will enjoy the feel of this grip because it is designed so well.
The Model 4 Close Proximity AEG also uses a 6 point LE retractable stock that folds to the side to make your gun even more compact!

Hi all-
I happened to catch this yesterday on ebay right before it closed. Some knucklehead cylinders that went for big bucks.

They certainly appear to be different than the ones usually seen - at least the ones I've seen in my very limited experience. Does anyone know anything about them? My only real reference is Palmers book and there is no mention of them that I could find. I'm just curious.
