This is the next in my series of interviews with my favorite women in philosophy, and a few others that have been recommended to me (see the intro to my interview with Susan Haack for why I am running this series and how you can help me, and the intro to my interview with Elizabeth Anderson for a bit more on that). This was composed two weeks ago but has been awaiting a time slot to go up on my blog.
Today I'm speaking with Laura Purdy, who was until just recently (she is now retired) Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Wells College, NY (see her brief bio at IHEU). She is best known for her books In Their Best Interest? The Case against Equal Rights for Children (Cornell 1992), which is one of the only fully-articulated defenses there are of the principle (which we normally take for granted) that children do not (and should not) have the same rights as adults; and Reproducing Persons: Issues in Feminist Bioethics (Cornell 1996), which is now one of the classical texts in the area of abortion and reproductive rights [for more see her cv].
Purdy's work in feminism and bioethics has influenced me (especially on abortion, women's rights, children's rights, and the right to die), but I confess was not on my radar when developing this series (she was just one among many philosophers I consulted and benefited from before reaching my own conclusions on these issues; although my conclusions usually did end up very near to hers), until someone suggested I interview her. I thought, quite so! She is not only a significant philosopher but also an unabashed atheist.
Interview with Laura Purdy
R.C.: Thank you so much for taking the time and agreeing to this interview for FreethoughtBlogs. As a philosopher myself, I often encounter the attitude that philosophers are useless to society, not important, they don't even do anything except dress up opinions in academic language, that philosophy is a career dead-end or a waste of potential ("Why didn't you become a doctor or a physicist or at least a lawyer something?"). I have my own way of responding to that. But I'm curious about yours. There's a lot of pain and labor and sacrifice and expense to get all the way to completing a Ph.D., so we have to be really driven by something! So why did you pursue a career in philosophy? And I don't mean as a teacher, but as a philosopher, actually doing philosophy, not just teaching it.
L.P.: My first philosophy course was such fun! It was the first course I encountered in college where you were free to [Read more…]

Denise Cerreta still remembers how her mouth watered when, as a child of eight, she gazed longingly at heaps of plump strawberries at a farmers' market in Atlanta. She asked her dad if she could have some, but he said no, they were too expensive. As the family returned to its car, a young man bounded up to her father, holding out a pint of the sweet-scented fruit. "Sir, I hope you don't mind," he said, "I bought these for your daughter."
That stranger's impulsive act of kindness made a lasting impression on Cerreta. Forty years later, at age 47, she's on a similar mission. As founder of One World Everybody Eats, a pay-what-you-want restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, Cerreta is determined to change the way restaurants do business and to bring delicious, healthful food to everyone, even those who can't pay. Although skeptics told her that a restaurant based on customer donations could never survive ("These are liberals playing games with the reality known as life," said Rush Limbaugh of the eatery), the enterprise is debt-free and will have its sixth anniversary in June.
Located in a converted two-story red brick building not far from the University of Utah, One World Everybody Eats serves organic, freshly prepared dishes, buffet style, in four cozy dining areas decorated with bright hangings and hand-carved statues from India. The menu changes every day and includes options that impress even the most sophisticated eaters. A hand-lettered notice asks customers to "donate a fair, respectable amount" similar to what they'd pay in other restaurants. Anyone too strapped to make even the most minimal payment can volunteer to wash dishes, cut vegetables, clean up or garden (one hour = one meal), and rice and dal are always free. Since the recession took hold, the number of customers earning meals through volunteering has doubled, but the average donation has remained at a steady $8 to $10 per meal, and the 60-seat eatery is attracting as many paying diners as in the past.
Here, tourists, judges, businessmen and even the mayor of Salt Lake City, Ralph Becker, dine alongside single mothers, laborers, college students and street people. Cerreta says she's seen lasting friendships form as strangers sit down together at tables seating two to six people. When they go to the buffet counter to be served, there's only one rule: Don't ask for more than you can eat. Food is never wasted, because every scrap is either consumed or composted. (Meat bones are thrown in the trash only after being boiled for soup.) That's unheard of at conventional restaurants, where diners' leftovers are thrown away.
"We have three Dumpsters outside our restaurant," says a Salt Lake City restaurateur who manages a branch of a $28 million seafood chain (and who asked to remain anonymous). "After weekends, they are filled to the brim with garbage, at least half of which is food." At One World Everybody Eats, on the other hand, by the end of an average night, there's a quarter of a 10-gallon can of garbage and one or two five-gallon buckets of food scraps, which are composted at a nearby community garden that also serves as a site for educational programs. Cerreta says it's the savings from this lack of waste that enables the restaurant to be self-sustaining.
A curvy woman with luminous hazel eyes and a broad smile, Cerreta had zero experience running a restaurant when she jumped into the food business. She'd moved to Salt Lake City to open an acupuncture clinic in 1997,
after studying acupuncture and herbal remedies at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine, in Santa Fe. The clinic was very successful: She saw from 20 to 25 clients a day and made good money. But, at 41, after running the business for five years, she "hit a spiritual glass ceiling," she says. She'd come to believe that most of her patients were lonely rather than ill. "Loneliness is an undiagnosed disease in this country, and I wanted to change that," she says. A café where customers could socialize seemed like a worthwhile enterprise.

How do I enlarge the Webcam Videos?
Currently the only way to do so is to drag out the sidebar by dragging the dividing line between VyewBook page, and sidebar stack (which contains the userlist, chat, etc).
Then you can enlarge the webcam video pod downward by dragging down the dividing line between webcam/voip pod and the chat pod.
Yes, this is a lame way of doing it, our next major version will make this easier.

True confession, I've been an owner of "Appetite for Destruction" since 1988, and I've loved the group and rooted for Axl to continue to make good music all along. Sure, I wish Slash and Izzy and Duff and even Adler were back in the fold, but it seems highly unlikely, so I'll take what I can get. And they're certainly not the only touring band on the road offering up a lineup decidedly different than the one that rose to fame. Ticket sales are reportedly sluggish for this gig, so you can still overcome your own reservations and come out. For whatever reason, I still expect to enjoy the gig, and it's my lone chance this year to see "Rocket Queen," so I'll take it. Meanwhile, is it bad form to bring a book to read while waiting for a band to start?
Here's a sample of what we should expect. http://youtu.be/ahD27ucerCM
In other events for the first half of this week, a virtually unique musical offering rolls into Salt Lake City on Monday night when The Klezmatics pay a visit. For those who don't know, the Klezmatics have worked to reinvent the traditional musical style of Klezmer and also sing a number of songs using lyrics from Woody Guthrie. Throw in the fact that they're talented enough to have shared a stage with Itzhak Perlman, and you've got a winning choice for a Monday night. Locals Juana Ghani are opening. The show begins at 8 p.m.
Check this recent clip of The Klezmatics at a Yiddish festival.
Also at The State Room on Tuesday night, hip indie-rockers Other Lives will be in town, for what should be a fun, atmospheric night of music. The Oklahoma-based band have had a solid 2011, after releasing "Tamer Animals," back in May and touring with this summer, which has surprisingly become one of the more revered acts in rock during the past few years. Tickets remain on sale and are $12. JBM opens at 8 p.m. This is Other Lives playing an NPR "Tiny Desk Concert," back in August. Sounds good!

Seriously, if this isn't enough to get Vinny Del Zero **** canned, what else does the Bulls need to see? It's like Omar Minaya is GM
Holy ****.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Down 79-44 with 8:50 left in the 3rd. Kings outscored them 33-10 in the 4th. damnHICAGO (AP)—The buzzer sounded, the 35-point comeback was complete and both the ecstatic Sacramento Kings and the stunned Chicago Bulls had trouble describing what had just happened.
"Wow! All I can say is, 'Wow!"' Tyreke Evans(notes) said after dominating down the stretch and leading the Kings to a 102-98 victory Monday night. "We fought to the end. It was amazing."
Indeed, it was one of the most amazing comebacks in NBA history.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the biggest rally since Utah overcame a 36-point deficit to beat Denver on Nov. 27, 1996. The Jazz trailed 70-34 in the second quarter before winning 107-103.
"I mean, what can you say? It's unheard of to do what just happened," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "I'm not even sure I believe it, but it sure was fun."
The Bulls were talking about a collapse, not a comeback.
"This one stings," Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We stopped being aggressive, got a little complacent there and they jumped on it. We're not good enough to take a minute off, never mind a half."
The Bulls led 79-44 with 8:50 left in the third quarter, and were still up 83-50 two minutes later before the Kings stole momentum and, eventually, the game.
After Sacramento finished the third with a 19-5 run to make it 88-69, Ime Udoka(notes) scored 15 of the Kings' first 22 points in the fourth quarter to cut it to 95-91 with 2:28 remaining.
Evans, the outstanding rookie guard from Memphis, then personally outscored the Bulls 9-3 the rest of the way.
He converted a three-point play and, after Chicago's Luol Deng(notes) made a free throw, scored on a drive and hit a foul shot to give the Kings their first lead since the opening minutes. Evans then hit a 22-footer at the shot-clock buzzer to put Sacramento up 99-96.
Derrick Rose(notes) made two free throws to cut it to 99-98 before Evans hit one of two foul shots. After Rose missed a layup, Beno Udrih(notes) clinched the win with two more free throws.
"I think we relaxed," said Deng, who scored 26 points. "We were making mistakes defensively. We were just not aggressive and that carries over to offense. It's frustrating."
As the sellout crowd booed the Bulls off the court, Kings owner Gavin Maloof celebrated.
"If they didn't know who Tyreke Evans was, they know him now," he said. "It was magical."
Evans followed Rose to Memphis, where each played only one year of college ball before turning pro. Rose was last season's Rookie of the Year and Evans— one of just four NBA players averaging at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists—is a front-runner for the award this season.
"I just kept attacking and never gave up," Evans said.
The Bulls were almost perfect in the first quarter, shooting 71 percent, committing no turnovers, holding the Kings to 39 percent shooting and forcing seven giveaways. Chicago built a 67-43 lead by halftime and opened the second half with a 12-1 run that seemingly put the game away.
But as the Bulls gradually came unglued—they were only 2 for 10 from the floor and committed nine turnovers in the fourth quarter—Evans, Udoka and the Kings took control.
"This game was absolutely crazy," ex-Bull Andres Nocioni(notes) said. "I've played in many games with national teams and many games in the NBA and I've never seen anything like that. I don't know if we won the game or the Chicago Bulls lost the game."
The despondent Del Negro knew.
"It was a matter of us not being smart at either end," he said. "It's frustrating. It's difficult. But what are you going to do, put your head down and feel sorry for yourself? You've got to go play."
Seriously, if this isn't enough to get Vinny Del Zero **** canned, what else does the Bulls need to see? It's like Omar Minaya is GM
All I gotta say is:
If Omar was GM of the Bulls, he would trade every black player on that team for sergio rodruiguez.
Vinnie is a terrible coach, lets hope we hand him his pinkslip today

America's Great Plains were once a vibrant grassland ecosystem, akin to the great savannahs of Africa. Here, a mere 200 years ago, Lewis and Clark stepped onto this fertile landscape and were awestruck by what they sawherds of bison, packs of wolves, grizzly bears, prairie dogs and more. Since Lewis and Clark's time, many of these iconic prairie creatures have all but disappeared.
Now, one of the most ambitious conservation projects in American history is underway to create a thriving three million acre wildlife reserve that will restore "America's Serengeti." Filmed over 2 years in stunning high-definition, American Serengeti chronicles the massive restoration project and through CGI, will fast forward to the future when vast herds of American wildlife will roam the plains once again.

On the reverse, Zeus is enthroned holding an eagle and a scepter inscribed with the name "Alexander." 14-karat-gold-plated sterling silver chain.
Adjustable 16–20"L; 1"L pendant. Reproduction "coin" is slightly smaller than a U.S. dime.

Lovely necklace
By Mimi
from Cupertino, CA
The necklace is pretty, and will be a versatile piece. The coin in the back view is more recessed than it appeared to me in the picture, and there are three raised bumps (like tiny clips) on the back mount. The width of the pendant is almost 3/4". The front is true to the picture.

Nice necklace

I bought three of these necklaces to give to my two nieces and sister - since their last name is Alexander. I thought it was kind of neat to give this to them. Now all three of them have the same name necklace. They said they loved them.

Unique & beautiful pendant
By Global Laurie
from Edmonton, Canada
The pendant was beautifully made. The silvery coin set into the unique gold setting makes the relatively small pendant really stand out when worn. It's great that both sides of the coin can be seen equally well. My only peeve is the chain - it is extremely light in weight, and I fear is not very strong. It also looks cheap compared to the pendant.

I will buy more pieces if available!
By Norma
from Canon City, CO
This necklace is absolutely beautiful. The artist that designed the pendent chose to trim the coin in gold which accented the coin perfectly. It will be a collector piece in my jewelry collection. The pendent can be worn with casual clothing or dress up affairs. Thank you National Geographic for carrying this beautiful work of art, it is a treasure!

The quality of this pendant is excellent! I bought it because I liked the beautiful design of the jewelry and was intrigued about the coin, but now it has become my "signature piece"! I wear it often and each time get compliments! I love that I can tell the story of the coin to people & they always ask where I got it. Thanks NG for carrying such unique items!

Wrestling is here ladies and gentlemen. This season will be very interesting since we will get a chance to see if Jackson was worth our patience. A top five finish and a win over Iowa isn't in the cards, but will we have a winning dual record and a respectable finish in Des Moines? Only time will tell.

ODU at ISU on Sunday, November 24th @ 1PM. Tickets Available

Live Blog: http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle....CLID=205175084
Twitter: CyclonesWR
I am not doing predictions yet because we have so many young guys and it is early in the season. But I will say that I expect a solid win over Old Dominion today.
Today we match up against Old Dominion University. Here's my projected line-ups.
| Weight | ISU Wrestler | Rank | Old Dominion Wrestler | Rank |
| 125 | Ryak Finch | 15/15 | Jerome Robinson | 18/19 |
| 133 | John Meeks | NR/NR | Scott Festejo | NR/19 |
| 141 | Luke Goettl | 18/NR | Justin LaValle | 16/19 |
| 149 | Matt White or Luke Swalla | NR/NR | Alexander Richardson | NR/NR |
| 157 | Logan Molina | NR/NR | John Nicholson | 19/20 |
| 165 | Micheal Moreno | NR/NR | Adrin Taylor | NR/NR |
| 174 | Mikey England | 17/18 | Billy Curling | NR/NR |
| 184 | Boaz Beard | 16/15 | Austin Coburn | NR/NR |
| 197 | Kyven Gadson | 15/20 | Jacob Henderson | NR/NR |
| HWT | Matt Gibson | 17/18 | Matt Tourdot | NR/NR |
At 125 Finch will go against another sophomore who was an NCAA qualifier last year. What I am looking for here is for Finch to get a solid win over a low ranked guy.
At 133 Meeks will get a decent, but not elite opponent. I look for him to show he is worth pulling his redshirt by getting a major. Or at least never having the win in doubt.
At 141 I look for Goettl to show us that his one loss was a fluke. This will probably be the match of the day and here I look for Luke to show improvement from last year and to demonstrate that Nickerson is earning his salary.
At 149 White or Swalla is facing a true freshman NJ champion. If Mayfield was good to go I would expect a win. With either of those guys I just expect effort and hoping to hold it to a decision. I hope we get Max back soon.
At 157 Nicholson from ODU was an NCAA qualifier last year. I think Molina has what it takes to get a win here. Beating guys like Nicholson will be important for our overall dual and NCAA record.
At 165 Moreno will be facing a redshirt freshman with a subpar pedigree. I expect a solid win.
At 174 England or Tanner Weatherman will be up against a mediocre wrestler. I expect a dominating win.
At 184 Beard should dominate. No excuses.
At 197 Gadsen or Shaffer should dominate. No excuses.
At Heavy Gibson should do the same against a 197 pounder who is wrestling up for ODU.
Overall the bottom weights are a great test for our young guys and we should dominate the upper half of the lineup.

I think our first 3 weights and last 3 weights are wildcard guys that could have great seasons and take ISU to a level we haven't been to in a few years, but I don't know what to expect from the middle weights. This is the critical year for Jackson, I thought we have wrestled more aggressively under Jackson than Sanderson, but it hasn't translated to victories. There is lots of room for development in wrestlers when they hit college, so these should be Jackson's guys, and the guys he inherited should be counted as being developed by him and his staff at this point, so it's make or break time for him. I hope it's "make" because I like him and I think adding Nickerson was much needed, so let's get it started.
Looking forward to today. Hope the Clone go out and dominate. I will be there cheering them on. Also Happy Birthday to Coach KJ today!!! Get the win for him!
Is odu ranked, and what is our rank, 31?

Intermat has ISU 29th, ODU 41st.
WIN has ISU 25th and ODU 40th.
The coaches poll (which is more of a dual strength poll than the others) has ODU 25th and us unranked.
Odd we are not ranked as a dual team as we should be a better dual team than tourney team. Thanks for the writeup

We haven't had a dual yet and have a lot of first time starters. If we are still unranked in January I'll be worried.
Stream is live. Looking good so far.
Matt White and I went to the same high school and know each other pretty well. Hope he does well today if he gets a shot.
And we're off. Starting at 174.
Bad first period for Mikey. He showed no aggression and got taken down with about 20 seconds left.
Mikey ties it up, cuts the guy to go for the win, and gets taken down. Then injury time so the ODU wrestlers got to pick down. Disappointing start to the dual. Mikey goes down 3-7.
Beard gets a takedown into a cradle. Up 5-0. This is much more what I was expecting to see.
As an aside, I really hate how "funk" has become so prevalent in wrestling.

Tonneau Covers
Featured Tonneau Covers Products
A tonneau cover is designed to keep out water and other materials, and when properly used, should seal relatively easily over the truck bed. While most tonneau covers are neutral in color, such as those commonly found in black or beige, some drivers prefer to customize their aftermarket tonneau covers with unusual designs or patterns, or add advertisements for their home business on them. Whether you need a truck bed cover or just want one, make sure to find one that fits the look of your truck and also fits the dimensions of your truck's bed area.

Three new studies of dietary supplements with dismal results were released this week (Annals of Internal Medicine). The problem is very basic — most supplements on the market have not been tested for safety and have not even been tested to see if they actually work. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates 50,000 adverse reactions to dietary supplements every year. Supplement sales in the U.S. reached $28 billion in 2010. That is a lot of money to give away for no benefit and possible harm. Another recent study on fish oil supplements found that many products do not contain the amounts of omega-3s claimed on their packaging.
On the positive side, a few manufacturers do provide a written guarantee that the product is made under the FDA's "good manufacturing practice" conditions and a Certificate of Analysis assuring that what is written on the label is what is in the bottle. That's good, but it's not common enough. If you are taking supplements, look for "USP Verified" on the label -- it means the supplement has been inspected and approved under the United States Pharmacopeia Convention. Unfortunately, less than 1% of the 55,000 products on the market have this label.
"The real answer is that, until the day comes when medical studies prove that these supplements have legitimate benefits, and until the FDA has the political backing and resources to regulate them like drugs, individuals should simply steer clear," write Dr. Paul Offit and Dr. Sarah Erush of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in an op-ed in the New York Times this week.

Web to Print Solutions from RedTie
What can RedTie do for your business?
Web to Print is often a confusing topic, partly because it has been badly defined and partly because it is an industry filled with jargon. Our approach has been to simplify and remove the jargon to provide printers and marketeers with real tools that drive business growth online, strengthen relationships with customers and increase profit.
RedTie's solutions change the way print is purchased and enable all companies, however big or small, to transact over the web for their marketing and print requirements. The products are easy to use and we provide all the technical training and support needed to ensure a smooth implementation.
Our products can help you:
- Conduct business 24/7: Your webstores never need to close, let your customers do business with you when it is convenient for them.
- Get new customers: With more and more business being conducted online customers are increasingly looking to purchase print online. The practise of simply including a phone number and email on a brochure type website is rapidly becoming obsolete.
- Strengthen your relationships with current customers: Web to Print from RedTie will allow you to augment the portfolio of services offered to your customers. A webstore branded with your customer's colours and logo, offering all the convenience of online ordering and with the added benefit of including traditional methods of contact is a powerful business tool. Why let a competitor offer the complete web to print package to your customers when you can offer it yourself?
- Join a growing segment of the print industry: Web to Print has shown year on year growth for many years and is becoming a larger percentage of the print industry every year. The good news is that there is no indication that the rate of growth for online ordering of print products is slowing down.
- Increase Profit Margins: RedTie's products are designed to reduce costs, increase automation, and increase the number of potential customers you can target. Furthermore, with a Web to Print solution from RedTie you can change the sales conversation from being uniquely cost-centric to more of a customer focused solutions package approach, which can lead greater profitability for your business.
RedTie offers solutions not just software packages:
Signing up for a software package is only the start of your relationship with RedTie; in fact our pricing is structured so that we will only succeed when you succeed in the Web to Print sector. This makes us much more of a partner than a software vendor and we put a lot of time and effort into making our software easy to use and very feature rich, with customer 'wish list' led development.
That is not all we do though, we spend time and effort on education, not just on how to use the software but how to position Web to Print for customers through sales training and business development support. In fact we frequently run courses that are not actually about RedTie products that cover Web to Print in general and that are open to everyone, customers and non customers alike.

Break Open Whole Moroccan Geode
Hollow Crystal Centers
2 1/2" and under
Moroccan geodes produce a great looking geode when cracked open. Openning them is easy. They are more hollow than other geodes and therefor break open easier. They also tend to produce more crystals. Over 99% of our moroccan geodes have awesome crystals waiting to be discovered. Just grab a sock and a hammer and crack open a geode. Easy as that.
Moroccan geodes are a great pick as a gift or a classroom project. We have Geodes from all over the world and these seem to be a favorite with many of our customers as they are easy to break open, very economically priced and very pretty after being cracked open.

The more macho the man, the less likely he's going to appreciate a woman who brings home the bacon.
That's the finding from a recent study that shows when a guy believes in "traditional masculinity, such as the need for a man to control his emotions and to reject femininity," he's more irked when his mate makes more money, LiveScience reports.
Conversely, non–macho men aren't bothered when their girlfriends or wives earn a bigger paycheck, the website adds.
Shouldn't a real man appreciate a successful spouse? Just sayin'.

Who I am in You?
In the early mornings when I am between waking and sleeping I think of you in song. This morning like yesterday I was singing "tell me once again, who I am in you, who I am in you."
Days ago, I was reading the book "Harbinger" by Jonathan Kahn. The book is written in fiction but it is repeatedly said that it is true. The story surrounds the idea that America is in judgment by God. The judgment started because we were once a nation that followed after God but has fallen away. The nation of Israel was destroyed for the same reasons and the verse Isaiah 9:10 "The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone: the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars." These words were spoken in Washington and in New York as a hope message but they were actually a curse for America.
The book is in fictional form and done very well but the message is overwhelming. The evidence is thought provoking and I remember the President saying "We will rebuild". It is a must read.
My question to God was what about the believers who live in America who are called by His name. I was reminded of what happen in Israel. Ezekiel 9:3b-6 Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it." As I listened, he said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark…"
We who believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for us and have asked the Holy Spirit to live in us. We have the mark or seal of God's ownership in us in the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:11-14)
In Proverbs 3:3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck and write them on the tablet of your heart.
We can memorize and say we know this but our conscious has a different take on it. "Tell me once again, who I am in you, who I am in you." We want to be reassured we will be taken care of.
"Who do you say I am, Lord?"
I heard a quiet response that said, "Daughter of a King." We are the sons and daughters of the King."(2Corinthians 6:18) I am a daughter of a King with privileges of meeting with my Father anytime of any day; and to supersede any other request. How awesome is that!
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God". (Matthew 16:15, 16)
Jesus is the Son of the living God and I am the daughter of the Son of the living God. I am accepted, adopted, blessed, cherished, comforted, loved, healed, protected, royal priesthood, and saved. The list goes on and on in Christ Jesus.
If, we are the daughters' and sons' of the King; then, we need reflect who He is.
Do you see yourself as that daughter or son? Are we living a life in union with our Father or are we still set apart?
I know what it's like to live with a wall of safety around your heart. To shut out the one who could heal and tear down that wall. I thought I would die if I open just a little up to the Lord. I was wrong I lived through it and growing stronger every day. The Holy Spirit is working in my heart and He is healing the parts of my heart on a day by day continual. I did not die physically but my flesh died a wonderful death and the only one present at that funeral was mortician and I. Kidding aside.
Sometimes, we need to choose our battles because life stinks. Life is hard enough out there on your own to walk away from open arms of a Father who truly loves you. He is running after you and nothing you say or do will ever turn Him away from you.
My Daddy Father is LOVE.
The best scripture that describes who I am in Christ is who my Father is:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1Corinthians 13:4-8a)
We are to grow into the likeness of the son of God. (Romans 8:29) We are to be embassador's for the King. We are to be a light to a starving world.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill that cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14)
Thank you, God for your son that died on the cross for me. Thank you for adopting me as your daughter so that I can call you Daddy. Thank you for your continual pouring out of your life in me. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who is alive in me and training me in the art of love.
I pray that we will grow continually into the likeness of Jesus Christ; so that, we will stand firm in all your will God mature and fully assured. In Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen

Gilles Peress's Post-Sandy Book Tests "Generosity-Based" Publishing
Starting tomorrow, the day after the anniversary of when Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the East Coast of the U.S., the publishing house Concord Free Press is giving away copies of The Rockaways, a new book which features Gilles Peress's images of the storm's devastation in one of the hardest hit areas of New York City and essays by high school students and other residents of the neighborhood. All 4,000 numbered copies of the book are free, but in exchange, everyone who receives a copy is asked to make a donation to a charity of their choosing or to a person in need, and to pass along the book so the giving continues. The Rockaways is the eighth book published by Concord Free Press, which co-founder Stona Fitch calls an experiment in "generosity-based publishing."
"Like everybody else, I was really moved by the distress of many of the people affected, especially the poorest part of the population in the Rockaways," says Peress. "I think of all of us felt on some level: How can we help?" Hamilton Fish, former publisher of The Nation and a member of the Concord Free Press advisory board, edited The Rockaways and approached Peress about donating images to the effort. "It was a no-brainer. I said yes after the first sentence," Peress says. He adds, "It's up to you and your conscience and your wallet to donate to what you think is a worthwhile cause–hopefully dealing with the Rockaways and hopefully dealing with income disparity."
"We're about linking art and activism," Fitch says. Concord Free Press's other seven books have each raised $50,000 to $60,000 in charitable donations. Designers, writers and publicists donate their time; Kodak provided digital printing for The Rockaways and for Concord Free Press's previous book, Round Mountain, a collection of short stories set in a small town in Vermont, which was released after Hurricane Irene caused massing flooding in the state. The Rockaways is the publisher's first photo book. Fitch calls Peress's images of the ravaged working-class neighborhood "powerful." He says, "When you're given something so beautiful and powerful for free, it has a great effect for inspiring generosity." By stirring donations, Fitch says, the book can "help address the problem that was being photographed." He acknowledges that people might be reluctant to pass The Rockaways along, "because Gilles's book is so beautiful."

Tarquinia Travel guide
Tarquinia : Michelin's recommendations
Tarquinia, crowning a rocky spur facing the sea, is famous for its Etruscan necropolis. The town, in all likelihood founded in the 9C BC by the Villanovian civilisation, controlled the whole coast of Etruria in the 6C BC. After being ruled by the Romans, malaria, followed by invasions by the Lombards, forced its inhabitants to leave the old town and move to the present site.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kwest Unique and gorgeous So pretty and very unique for a great price. It was shipped to me very quickly as well! October 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MEByrnes Pretty, but not as described I went to my local World Market specifically to look for this "set." I planned as using them as a hostess gift. Well, it isn't a boxed set of three - they are sold individually, for 5.99 each. I still purchased two of them - and the Brooch wine charms to go with them - for the gift, but was disappointed that they weren't as described here. March 7, 2013

Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Eye-Fi contests SD Association's Wireless LAN standard
The legality of the SD Association's Wireless LAN standard for SD cards is being challenged by wireless SD maker Eye-Fi. The company says the standard, announced at CES, uses elements of its intellectual property that it hasn't agreed to license. 'Essential Eye-Fi patented technology would be violated by anyone implementing this draft specification.' Eye-Fi says the SD Association's own process for approving the standard has not been completed and the draft standard should not have been announced.
Eye-Fi points out that it has spent 'tens of millions of dollars' in researching and developing its product and that it has multiple patents essential to the current draft specification.
Press Release
The SDA's iSDIO specification and standards process
Several years ago, Eye-Fi's founding team realized that capturing photos or video is just the beginning, and that in an increasingly connected world, the true magic is in sharing.
We invested tens of millions of dollars and several years to create unique technology that lets people wirelessly transfer photos and videos directly from their camera and mobile devices.
Last week, the SD Association (SDA) announced that a draft Wireless LAN specification had been adopted as a new standard. This was a flat out misrepresentation. As a matter of fact, under the SDA's own rules, this was not possible. SDA members – and we are one – are allowed 60 days in which to respond with claims to patented intellectual property and plans around licensing that IP to the SDA. Should essential IP be presented during this process, and not offered for license, the SDA should revise the specification and begin the review cycle again. After this process, the SDA Executive Members have to vote on adopting the specification.
Not only has the membership's intellectual property disclosure window not closed, the Executive Members have also yet to vote on its adoption.
When we protested the action, the SDA's executive director replied "the SD Association has often made announcements during the IP Review Period because once this phase of the process has been achieved the only thing that could possibly change is the licensing and not the technical details."
This week, still in advance of the SDA-provided deadline, we disclosed our patented intellectual property to the SDA, detailing multiple Eye-Fi patents essential to the current SDA draft specification.
There is a process for the establishment of this kind of specification, and that process wasn't respected. Any company trying to claim that it is the first to adopt this specification is taking on the mantle of a standard that doesn't exist.
Currently, 10 top camera manufacturers work with us as part of the Eye-Fi connected program; dozens of leading photo-related sites connect to our service. It's through these longstanding relationships that we've become the center of wireless connectivity among consumers, camera makers and photo-related sites.
The intellectual property at the core of this digital imaging revolution is our business. It's what Eye-Fi is. And as currently written, essential Eye-Fi patented technology would be violated by anyone implementing this draft specification.
We respect the process as established by the SDA and we call upon the SDA to do the same.

L'Atelier de Claire (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
With three daughters, we love planning birthday parties! Each year, we do one "big" party, and this year it was our eldest daughter, Claire's, turn to have a special soiree. Claire chose a "Pink Poodle in Paris Party" for her birthday on 11-12-11.
With some planning and input from a variety of talented friends and vendors, we transformed a charming cottage in downtown Crabapple (a suburb of Atlanta) into a French "Atelier," or "artist's attic." Appropriately enough, it was named, "L'Atelier de Claire."
Ten guests, ranging in age from 7-10 years old, arrived on a brisk Saturday afternoon in November to enjoy authentic Parisian confections, sample Pink Poodle in Paris punch, paint customized canvases featuring the Eiffel Tower, enjoy each other's company, and learn some French phrases that they transcribed into their personalized "passports."
The scent of Parisian sweets wafed through the air, as did French music by artists such as Madelyn Peyroux. Candles warmed the room on an otherwise chilly day, and the sounds of laughter filled the Atelier.
Favors included personalized artist smocks, berets, paintbrushes and the canvas artwork they created. Customized thank you cards, printed accordian style, were produced using images from the event, and were printed at www.kodak.com.
Party vendors included the following:
Paper Products - PaperCandee (www.papercandee.com)
Decorations - Shop Sweet Lulu (www.shopsweetlulu.com)
Photography - Blencoe and Company Photographic Arts (www.blencoeandco.com)
Wall Decals - Urban Expressions (http://www.etsy.com/people/urbanexpressions)
Cupcakes - Jillian's Cupcakery (http://www.jillyscupcakery.com)
Canvas Artwork - Just for Giggles Gallery (http://www.just-for-giggles.com/)
Signage - VistaPrint (www.vistaprint.com)
Through the collective work of a variety of folks, we were able to make this Parisian party fresh and new, and a wonderful time was had by all, especially the birthday girl!

Alabama's legendary roots rockers Drive-By Truckers enter the double digits with their 10th studio album 'English Oceans'. The record's 13 tracks show an almost equal split of writing credits between co-front men Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley, watch the band perform Cooley's track 'Made Up English Oceans' in the Lyric Theater in Birmingham, Alabama. The boys are on a North American tour right now supported by Blitzen Trapper and Shovels & Rope, see full dates here. Ume (pronounced "Ooo-May") make their MMR debut with 'Monuments'. The Austin band play the hard rock equivalent of IDM layering meaty chords and ripping lead lines with melodic keyboard. Listen to the first single to drop from 'Monuments' titled 'Chase It Down'. The very first song SomeKindaWonderful recorded together, 'Reverse' premiered yesterday on Idolator and is now up on iTunes. Frontman Jordy Towers tells Idolator "'Reverse' is a story song told in reverse. It's a true story actually … Something about telling a story in reverse is almost more emotional and revealing to me and it just naturally came out in that form when I wrote it."

With spring-like weather completely upon us and no reason to be suffering from the winter doldrums, let's look at the best reasons to be out on the town during the first half of this week, shall we?
Over at The State Room, a live band with a fine reputation for blending various musical elements into a driving reggae-fueled sound, John Brown's Body, launch a busy week. The eight-piece band, which includes a three-man horn section, is renowned for its danceable grooves and has survived the loss of former bassist Scott Palmer, back in 2006. Local rockers, The No-Nation Orchestra, open the 8 p.m. concert. Tickets are $17 and remain on sale.
Also Monday, surfy-rocker and "friend of Jack Johnson," Donovan Frankenreiter headlines an 8 p.m. show at The Depot. Friends of mine tell me this guy puts on a terrific show and with everything else happening this week, you could miss a fun night if you skip this one. Tickets are $20 at the door. Frankenreiter's former band member Matt Grundy is the opening act at 8 p.m.
Also on Monday for those who prefer the theatre, it's the last chance to see a local production of the classic jury drama, "Twelve Angry Men," at the Sugar Factory Playhouse. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $8.
On Tuesday, indie-rock fans face some difficult choices as two good bills arrive in Salt Lake City. At The Urban Lounge, Nada Surf headlines a gig with Aussie indie-rock duo An Horse opening. Normally, that'd be more than enough to get me out of the house on a weeknight, but to complicate matters The State Room is hosting buzz-rocker du jour Sharon Van Etten and Philadelphia's The War on Drugs for a co-headlining gig. Personally, I'd be happy to see any of these four bands headline a gig, but with all of them in town, virtually simultaneously, it creates some tough choices. Music starts at 8 p.m. at The State Room and tickets for that gig are $15. Tickets are $18 and remain available for the Urban Lounge show. This should be one long, fun night ...
On Wednesday for early outings fans, indie-folkies Megafaun play a Kilby Court gig with former DeYarmond Edison member Chris Porterfield. The Edison band splintered into Megafaun and saw fellow former member Justin Vernon create the hugely popular Bon Iver. Meanwhile, Porterfield's latest project is Field Report. (Check the band's only two available songs at this link.) This act is destined to grow in terms of buzz and popularity. (Those two songs bowled me over, FYI.)This will be a hip show that you can probably lord over your friends later on because you went and they didn't. Tickets are $10 and available at 24tix.com.
And a late-night party scene will go down at the Urban Lounge as Memphis rockers Lucero headline a 10 p.m. show. Larry and His Flask will open the gig. Despite the virtues of the other shows this week, this gig might be the best chance to take in a full-throttle rock concert in a club setting all week.
And don't forget to follow me on Twitter @murphyinfo for the latest concert announcements - of which there should be several this week.

according to this I am somewhere between Heroine and Draco
that may be the most interesting description of my personality I have heard, and it has an interesting hint of truth
Well it's still the same chart just with harry potter characters representing the personalities, so its probably not going to be far off.
I'm getting this overpowering, almost threatening sexual interpretation from that chart.
I see what your saying, although it might be strange to tell someone that instead of your usual personality letters.

UCLA Notes (NCAA Men's Tennis Final)
#1 UCLA vs. #2 Virginia
May 21, 2013 - Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex (Urbana, Ill.)
* UCLA ranks third all-time in NCAA men's tennis titles with 16, trailing only USC (20) and Stanford (17).
* UCLA leads the nation in NCAA Team Championships with 108. The last Bruin team to win an NCAA title was women's volleyball in 2011. The Bruins are gunning for their first men's NCAA title since golf won the championship in 2008.
* UCLA is making its 12th appearance in the NCAA Final since the team format was adopted in 1977. The Bruins' last appearance in the NCAA Final was during the team's NCAA Championship season of 2005 (UCLA def. Baylor, 4-3 in championship match).
* Head coach Billy Martin, who is in his 20th season as head coach at UCLA, takes an overall record of 456-91 (.834) into Tuesday's national championship match. Martin is a native of Illinois, growing up in the Chicago area.
* Ohio State, which the Bruins beat 4-3 in Monday's semifinals, was the only team to take a point off of UCLA in this year's NCAA Championships, as the Bruins won their first four matches by 4-0 scores (UMKC - Rd. 1, Drake - Rd. 2, Vanderbilt - Rd. of 16 and Duke - Quarterfinals).
* UCLA owns a 2-4 all-time record against Virginia, with two of those meetings coming in the NCAA Championships. The Bruins beat the Cavaliers, 4-1 in the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2005, as UCLA would go on to win the NCAA title that year by beating Baylor, 4-3 in the final (@ Texas A&M). More recently, Virginia beat UCLA, 4-2 in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships in 2010 (@Athens). That was the last meeting between the two schools.
* UCLA's No. 5 singles player, Clay Thompson, takes a 14-match winning streak into today's match. Thompson, who is 24-3 on the year, has not lost since falling to Tulsa's Carlos Bautista in a dual match back on March 14.
* Sophomore Marcos Giron, who clinched the team's 4-3 win over Ohio State on Monday, also clinched a huge win for UCLA earlier this year, as he beat USC's Emilio Gomez, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(3) in a dual match on Feb. 22 at USC to give UCLA the 4-3 win. He owns the most singles wins on the team with 32 (only 30-match winner on the team). He also owns the most wins over ranked opponents with 14.
* The No. 5 singles position has been a key spot for the Bruins this year, as the team has only lost one match there (26-1). Five different players have seen time at that position, with the most appearances by Clay Thompson, who has gone 17-1.
* UCLA takes a 29-1 overall record into the NCAA Final, marking the most wins by a Bruin team since 1986 (UCLA was 29-2 that year). Regardless of the outcome of Tuesday's match, the Bruins will finish with the fewest losses since 1996 (UCLA finished 27-1 that year).
* UCLA has lost the doubles point on six occasions this season, coming back to win every match (vs. Georgia, Baylor, Stanford, Pepperdine and USC twice). The Bruins actually won the doubles point in their lone loss of the season to USC on Feb. 17.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shirlbnj The Love Birds Tea Towel I like that this is a nice, large towel. The colors are bold and do not fade with washing. I have several like this and look forward to new designs in the future. July 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kendra I Love These I just saw these in the store and had to buy one. They are really cute, especially with the different colored, ruffled edge. March 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Roygbiv charming The ruffle and ribbon details of this tea towel and the sweet bird applique make this one of my favorites. After 2 years of use and multiple washings, the towel has held it's shape and color wonderfully. April 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by LAK250 Not as pictured The background on the towels are much much darker than pictured, they are almost a chocolate brown. It's a shame, because the birds are cute, but these will be going back. April 13, 2013
