@Spaceboi, All we know you is that She was very young and a Pure Virgin at the time. Wouldn't want to be drawn into speculations about her exact age..
Mokoena and his congregation will from tomorrow until Sunday embark on their annual Easter mission. The difference this time is that they will be going to their new home - the Tyrannus City of Zion - near Bloemfontein Airport.
Mokoena says: "I used to be a member of the Rhema Church and when the Spirit of God approached me to do His work, I became Pastor Ray McCauley's student in 1995. After graduating, God led me to forming my own ministry.
"That is when I realised there are so many souls in dire need of God's grace. I feel so humbled and blessed that since that day, God has been taking the ministry from glory to glory."
Blessed with a beautiful, powerful voice, Mokoena also chose a musical journey in his life.
"Music is not only beautiful and a potent healer of the soul, but it is another vehicle that can be used to praise and worship God. That's what led me to start singing hymns and choruses in Sesotho.
"This not only made me happy, but it empowered my congregation and those who buy my music to understand clearly what is being said so that they can relate better instead of becoming detached, thanks to language barriers.
"Our ancestors never spoke the Queen's language (English) but they still managed to connect with God. Most of our members, especially the elderly, love the fact that in our church we pray, preach and sing in Sesotho."
This is something that has seeped deeply into his music, finding favour with his growing fan base.
When he started Tyrannus, Mokoena never dreamt that he would reach cult status and earn the respect and attention he so effortlessly commands.
To date, he has four albums under his belt. Lefika laka seems to have found resonance with the masses and he believes it has already changed lives.
"The deeper you get into your career, the more you learn what people want. The message and content on the album is for people who are in pain and disappointment. Through it, they will understand themselves and heal," Mokoena says.
Amicable, reflective and dignified, the revered apostle says that in his albums, the latest of which is Hlabelela, he has fused old and new hymns as well as new compositions. "I wanted to stay where people were moving away from, forgetting that our language is rich with idioms."
Mokoena has recently signed a contract with EMI for the distribution of Bawo. "I suppose things would have fallen into place with my other albums - like Baba Hamba Nathi, Jehova Modimo and Modimo Wa Ntate - if I was not focusing on building the church."
BESIDES his church and music, Mokoena shares the word of God with thousands ofviewers on e.tv, SABC1 and Gaborone TV.
Mokoena has also developed a reputation for helping the destitute without being coerced. He is known for rebuilding people's destroyed houses, regardless of their church affiliation, and helping students.
Recently, he helped a boy, Itumeleng Mocwa, who suffered from severe asthma and needed a machine to help him breathe. The boy could neither play nor go to school. The machine has made a huge difference in his life.
"It is our prayer that God helps the ministry to build a village that will develop and make the people of God self-sufficient," Mokoena says.
"It is good to pray but it is also good to see your dreams realised, then it becomes easier to testify on God's miracles," says the apostle who is forever on a mission to help make other people's lives easier.
@Spaceboi, All we know you is that She was very young and a Pure Virgin at the time. Wouldn't want to be drawn into speculations about her exact age..
My closing remarks: Let us remember that this weekend we are celebrating the death, burial and resurrection on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The only one who came to die for us all so that we will not perish but have eternal life. If you are not saved you are not safe, make this prayer and may God bless you this weekend.. "LORD JESUS, I THANK YOU FOR HAVING DIED ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY FOR MY SINS, I CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH THAT YOU'RE LORD AND I BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, FORGIVE MY SINS AND MAKE ME A CHILD OF GOD FROM TODAY".. If you have prayed this prayer God has heard you and has written your name in the lamb's book of life.. See you on the other side
Look for a man who displays kindness, humility, compassion, forgiveness and gentlenss ...and you will find Jesus. And once you have found Him, look no further.
Just another money making scam - like all the other charismatic churches. "Rhema Cauley" is the biggest fraud of the lot!
@WISEMAN,(and all haters)so boring and so yesterday
you seem to be type the of person suffering from: PULL HIM DOWN SYNDROME..unlike u
he is appreciated and admired by many..and damn he so handsome,unlike your poor
ill-speaking,discouraged self... continuing labeling men of God as false,simply bcos they dont measure up
to your LOW,LOW,LOW self...through a pity party for yourself kid!
I perceive that you are a genuine follower of Jesus, the Son of God Almighty.
Jesus put out a warning when his disciples secretly came to Him, wanting to know what will be the "signs"of His second coming (they wanted inside info)...and remember, He was also sitting in a mountain...
Matthew 24:3-5 "And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many will come in My name, saying, I am Christ, and will deceive many."
i Wish Mr Mokoena would tell his followers where tirano came from because its built on a shaky foundation. Mr Mokoena's wife is a Member of Tirano School of Repentance started my Mme Rose Letaonana 43 years ago and headquarted in Jabulani, Soweto. Mokoena's Mamazala, Mme Mthembu is a Senior Director of Tirano and is based in Pinville, Soweto and has branches all over the country. Mr Mokoena was a pastor in QwaQwa and realised the multitudes of people of his wifes church and decided to come to Tirano in Soweto and was taught by Mme Mofokeng (Head of Tirano), Mme Mthembu and his wife sbongile. He then started tirano and told people that God showed him Tyrannus (English translation of Tirano) on a mountain which is not true, this is why they separated from his wife. He copied his ministry and "revelations" mainly from Mme Mofokeng in Soweto and IPCC. i am not against Ntate Mokoena i wish that him ministry grow further and reach all corners of the world but the truth shall set him and his people free.
@JerryM,we thank you for your time to lie to us...it's good to know,that there are people
like yourself who pay; ATTENTION TO DETAIL to every good thing that's happening out there
i don'it know tirano,but simply don't like to entertain people who don't APPRECIATE A GOOD THING!
It's not a bad thing to be a tjatjarag...it's free publicity for Mr Mokoena and his people..keep up the good work. and the church will continue to grow while you watch,keep watching good things.
I agree with you Wiseman. I tried to listen to his messages so many times but I don't hear him talking about the word of God, he only talk about himself and I have a problem with that. You only find the power of God in His word and if he doesn't talk about God or His word, whose power is he using? He guy is misleading people, PERIOD. He is sending multitudes of people to hell.
@Cope, I don't mind mega churches and in fact I believe in signs and wonders. I believe in the word of God and if the word is not there, it means God himself is not there. Jesus healed the sick, cast out demons and raised the dead and I believe in that too because He in His word that we will do greater things than those that He did and all that can only be done in Jesus Name and word of God should be preached.
@ Wiseman all so true what you are saying and qouting , but we need to pray more for the church of God , so that the spirit of God can expose all such Pastors , for I bealive that it is a spirit that rules upon them , some may not be aware that they no longer operate with the spirit of a leaving God .

Winemaker's Notes:
From the Sonoma Coast wine region, this Pinot Noir has elegant varietal fruit character, with rich aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, red current and boysenberries. Hints of mushroom are supported by a subtle oak influence. This wine will evolve into a silky and smooth wine with time in the bottle.
Robert Parker 88 Points
More interesting and complex is the 2009 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast (88,000 cases produced). It exhibits classic Burgundian notes of forest floor, sweet black cherries, pomegranate and raspberries. This earthy, spicy, richly fruity, medium-bodied Pinot should be consumed over the next 3-4 years.

Feb. 8, 2004
Stanford, CA - The UCLA Women's Water Polo team closed out bracket play at the Stanford Invitational with a 13-1 victory over Santa Clara. The Bruins who now hold a 3-0 record advance to the first place game against No. 2 USC.
UCLA got out to a quick lead against the Santa Clara, scoring five goals in the first period while holding the Broncos scoreless. The second and third periods would be more of the same for UCLA, as the Bruins would score six times while holding Santa Clara scoreless. Santa Clara would get its lone goal in the fourth period, while UCLA would score two more times to close out the 13-1 win.
It was a balanced scoring effort for the Bruins with sophomores Katherine Belden and Paloma Slezak and freshmen Kacy Kunkel, Molly Cahill and Kelley Koepp all scoring twice. Kristina Kunkel, Nicolette Grams and Jenna Murphy rounded out the Bruin scoring effort with one goal each.
Goalkeeper Tahlia Kerr in her first start of the season (not Emily Feher as was previously reported) held the Broncos to one goal while recording four saves.
UCLA vs. Santa Clara - 2/8/04
Teams 1 2 3 4 F
Santa Clara 0 0 0 1 1
Goals: UCLA - Katherine Belden 2, Paloma Slezak 2, Kacy Kunkel 2, Molly Cahill 2, Kelley Koepp 2, Kristina Kunkel, Nicolette Grams, Jenna Murphy; Santa Clara - Shumm

GRAYSON, Ky. (AP) -- The former mayor of a small eastern Kentucky city has pleaded guilty to a drug trafficking charge.
The Independent (http://bit.ly/1bdweNC ) of Ashland reports Danny Sparks entered the plea Monday in Carter County Circuit Court to a felony charge of marijuana trafficking.
Sparks resigned as mayor of Olive Hill in late 2012 shortly after being arrested.
His attorney, Robin Webb, said terms of the plea deal call for prosecutors to recommend a two-year sentence and "stand silent" on whether Sparks should receive probation.
Police say Sparks was arrested Nov. 28, 2012 after he sold marijuana to an undercover informant in a parking lot near Olive Hill Elementary School.
Sentencing was set for Jan. 6.

The MotF Server Challenge
Ok, we gotta do something about the lack of MotF servers.
As such, we are introducing the MotF Server Challenge.
Basically, this is a simple concept. In exchange for hosting a dedicated 24/7 MotF server for a given amount of time, we'll put your reasonable feature(s), with 100% priorty, into MotF.
Want certain emotes in the game? Host a server and we'll put them in!
Want a subadmin kick/ban system? Host a server and we'll work on it for you!
Wanted to help out the mod? Now you can!
We'll add anything that the MotF team feels would be a fair server time for work exchange and fits into the MotF mod. The server time required will be based on the difficulty of adding the feature. Probably based on a 10 manhours per month uptime system.
The server can have whatever settings you want as long as it's running one of the more recent MotF releases and isn't too off the wall. We will be checking to be sure the server is actually online and running MotF during the agreed upon time.
You must contact us before "serving the time" so we can work out details. Server time must be done in advance to the addition to the feature(s). Sorry, but we've been screwed over too many times with promised exchanges to give feature advances.
Part of the deal is that we'll work on your feature exclusively (well, during our MotF work at least) unless it's done.
In addition, you'll get your name in the MotF credits and our thanks.
Please note that this doesn't mean we'll be ignoring everyone else. It just means that Server Challengers get priorty.
If you're interested, contact the team today at firstname.lastname@example.com!
well i'd love to host, but my ping would probably suck
Well, since MotF has been cancelled, the server challenge has been cancelled as well.

Frenzied Hemp Specimen Mix
Dynamite offers three varieties of this groundbait – Match Original, Match Black and Specimen Mix.The two match versions are quite fine in consistency and, as they are packed full of hemp particles and oils, prove irresistible to all species, especially carp, chub, barbel, roach and tench.
For larger fish, or times when you are expecting lots of bites, you should choose the Specimen Mix version. It has slightly larger food particles to it than the other two groundbaits and is slightly stickier as a result.
Unfortunately, we do not have the model in stock that you are looking for today.
However, hundreds of new items are added to the site each week – and there is a good chance we will have the item in very shortly.

Product A1 and just as you said it was, packed very well. Staff very helpful and full of information, product dispatched very fast, would definitely use again. Just keep up the service! Excellent.
Just keep up the service! Excellent.

I'm attempting to upgrade a SQL 2005 SP3 clustered instance to SP4. During installation, a rollback event took place with the error indicating there was insufficient space on the the disk. The system volume and application binary volume both have adequate space. On examination of the hotfix logfile, the config.msi target folder for the rollback files was the volume used as a mountpoint folder (in this case, M: was the target but it's only 128 MB in size, hosting only folders to be used as mountpoints for other physical disks, like M:\DATA00). Why would the SP install routine use that volume instead of the system volume or SQL binary volume for the rollback file location and can the target path for the rollback file be altered?

Cruising through Goodwill the other day I happened upon a used clock and some old LPs. Now I had seen CD clocks online and I thought the idea was a little tacky but seeing those old LPs with their 70's styles and psychedelic colors I thought to myself, Oh yeah! Let's take tacky to another level babe!
Taking the clock apart I found that the hands were reversible with white coloring on the back. This saved time painting the hands because the original black hands would be too dark. But that saved time was eaten up when I realized that the frame itself contained the hanging and support hardware to attach it to the wall. Crap! Using tin snips I cut out the elements of the frame which created a nice flat surface against the wall but still kept the frame hidden behind the record. No sweat!
I had to widen the center hole for the record with my drill but by being careful the label was unaffected. Easy-peasy. Now I was ready to mount the record. I aligned my label with the twelve o'clock position but you don't have to really, the offset might be kinda cool.
The original sleeve was in pretty good shape and I didn't want to toss it, especially since the record by itself looked lonely on the wall, but the weight of the sleeve would upset the balance of the clock. Using the nail I was going to hang it with I tacked the sleeves together to add a colorful background for the clock. I had to tack another nail to keep the sleeves from slip-sliding away and then I hung the clock. Bam! Done in minutes!
I stood appreciating the art I had just finished as my wife came up beside me and said, "Nice… But it isn't staying there right?" Women!

|Papers today report on the news that, within months of the "War on Terror", Tony Blair and senior ministers in the Labour government knew of allegations that UK nationals were being tortured but brushed them aside in a bid to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with the US.
The Guardian writes,
"The 'war on terror' had barely begun when senior ministers in the Labour government became aware that it was to be a harsh and brutal affair, involving fundamental breaches of international human rights law, it was revealed today."
"While the heavily redacted documents – released in civil proceedings brought by six former Guantánamo inmates – betray British concern about American conduct, they also appear to show that diplomats, civil servants and government lawyers were anxious to find ways to remain, in the words of Tony Blair, 'standing shoulder to shoulder' with the US."
Evidence emerged that "the government knew the US was mistreating and torturing UK nationals and residents in January 2002 and for years afterwards, but did not seriously protest about it. Other evidence, notably in the case of Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian-born British resident, shows that MI5 co-operated with the CIA while that agency was indulging in mistreatment and torture."
A Foreign Office note to Downing Street noted that, "this will continue to be a difficult issue to handle, both in procedural and legal terms with the US and in handling parliament and the media here", but that "the longer they could claim they were still waging a form of war, the longer they might be able to detain individuals without trial."
"As long as the war against terrorism in the widest sense continued, the US/UK would have rights to continue to detain those they had been fighting against (even if the fighting in Afghanistan itself were over). [Redacted] conceded that the strength of such a case would depend on the plausibility of the argument that the war was continuing."
The document emerged as part of a bid by six former detainees to sue the British government for complicity in their treatment. They claim that MI5 and MI6 were guilty of aiding and abetting their unlawful imprisonment and extraordinary rendition to various locations, including Guantanamo Bay, where they were subjected to torture.
The Independent reports that "lawyers for the former detainees asked Mr Justice Silber, sitting at the High Court, to ensure that further secret documents be disclosed to the court without delay in accordance with the disclosure orders he had made in July."
"Richard Hermer QC said there had also been a 'deeply troubling' failure by the security services and government departments to answer questions that went to the heart of the case."
Human Rights Watch reported in June of UK government cooperation with foreign intelligence services in countries that routinely use torture. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), the UK's official human rights watchdog, has warned the government that its current guidance on torture may violate UK and international law and called for it to be amended in order that, in future, "the intelligence service itself and its individual officers do not unwittingly leave themselves open to costly and time consuming court action."

For example, the integral of the function f(x) could be thought of the projection of f on the function g, where g is identically 1.
Following this logic, can we think of the multiplication of f and g as the area between f and g, no matter how complicated f or g is?
But then this is a bit more if we think of the area between f and g as the projection of f on g, but how do we explain negative area i.e. integrating sin(x).
I don't know if I was taught the right calculus but I've never seen a textbook that introduces the notion of the integral of f and g as the projection of f on g. Why is that? And if possible, can someone please provide me a good notes on this subject? Treating integration from a projection perspective.

Ok so,, I was just trying to be helpful and supportive. I think that is part of what helps people who are trying to stay sober. I see that my newbie opinion is not all that valid for some. My bad.
I am hoping that getting and staying sober is not a 1 size fits all type of thing or else I am screwd. I am in a program, let's hope it works for me.

I haven't read many of your post's but when I see someone at a week sober which is awesome give advice to a person (happens all the time) that is new that has untreated alcoholism by patting them on the butt saying everything is going to alright without having a plan of action most the time its not going to be alright and they get drunk and maybe die that way.
Just a suggestion you might want to start working on self for long term sobriety what's your plan of action?
There is a saying ya can't give much away that you personally don't have not only in sobriety but just about anything.
Wish the best for ya but again I would suggest working on you.

Actually - the longer we are sober the more we realize that we are quite a bit alike.
I had always wanted to be outstanding and special - and that got me nowhere. Finally dropping that facade, and being a member of a group of people who had similar issues was a life saver for me.

Ami, the best way you can help another alcoholic is to shine a light for them by your efforts to stay sober. Share your experience and hope, and that's helping others from day 1. I remember the Hope I received from a young lady who was in her first month sober. The want that she had and the effort she was putting in to get sober despite all the shit in her life inspired me onto my path. Keep persevering and sharing how what you are doing is helping you, and that will help another.

I think a for a new person, an alcoholism discussion board is a great place to get your feet wet talking about this. A give and take is maybe what is needed-who knows? Just see what helps-and don't sweat it if folks like or don't like what you say on here. Don't let this place be your end all for help though. It just is not solid enough in my opinion to offer support. I think people give eachother crap in which they would never dream of one on one-it is so dang easy to do on the interenet!
Cannot let it get to you-if it does, just stick to one on one for now. I find people are more civil in those encounters. I like hearing from newcomers and talking to them. It makes me feel good when I see them grow.

I am working on self. I started the Smart Recovery program the same day I signed up on this site. In 11 days I have joined 5 meetings and am working my way through the first point of their 4 point program. I also check in through various ways ie. message board and chat to talk about my issues and maintain motivation several times a day. Smart is going to be a long term thing for me. I am not here to bash AA. I just don't think it fits me.
I refuse to not regard myself as outstanding even though I have a drinking problem. Special? no. Depsite my drinking problem, I do great things for my community, my region, and for this country. This is not a facade. Anyone can be affected by addiction problems.
Thanks Mum. I will do so. Maybe not here, but I will continue to do so. This is certainly not the end of my help. Thank you all for your thoughts and encouragement.

Ami -- when you are new, you have a perspective that is important to another new person. You are close to what those first days were like. Personally, talking to someone who had 20 years sobriety would not have meant much to me when I quit. That seemed way too far away. Beyond my conception. Too far away. I wanted to figure out how to get through one day.
When I first joined DS I was about two weeks sober. The people I connected with and the ones who helped me the most were not the people with "long term" sobriety, they were the ones who were close enough to the starting line to really remember what it was like. I got some great advice from people who were relatively new to sobriety (and some people with long term sobriety as well. )
I like your comments. They seems honest and open and I am glad you are here. I value your point of view and I think that new people might find what you have to say useful.

If you are staying sober and making progress then keep doing what you are doing.
I think people fail to realize that where we are is the only place we can be and we do what feels natural and right while there. You have a good deal to offers newcomers and old timers alike - its up to them to learn what they need to learn from you.
Anyone is qualified to be compassionate and empathetic. We all benefit from encouragement and support. Some of the biggest influences on my sobriety were those people who weren't so far ahead of me at all.
You are doing well, Ami. Just stay on track. Like others have said, the light you shine will give hope to others. You getting healthy is the biggest contribution you can make to anyone.

I love newbie opinions. Here and in meetings. In fact, I often get amazing gems from people who are brand new to sobriety. Not the least of which is a reminder of what early sobriety really feels like, looks like, etc. Its easy to 'forget' or at least it has been for me in the past and that always always == relapse.

Hey, I don't know what incident you're talking about, but your comments ARE important. I'm glad you're here and I admire your spirit.
Please keep sharing!

US Tour: Mancini not disappointed
- 26 July 2010 04:07
- Posted by Chris Bailey in New Jersey
Roberto Mancini refused to be downcast after the Blues were defeated for the second time in the Barclays New York Challenge.
Having gone down 2-0 to trophy winners Sporting Lisbon in the opening encounter, City lost 2-1 to hosts the Red Bulls.
Seven young players took part in the match, some only hours before they left for home, while star names Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry and Shaun Wright-Phillips didn't see any action for the second game in succession.
"I was not in the slightest bit disappointed," insisted the manager after the game in which Jo scored the Blues goal.
"For me it was most important to leave this tournament without injury. We have worked hard for two weeks and it is normal that in this tournament we didn't play 100%.
These are the first two strong games that we have played and we didn't have all our players here
...Roberto Mancini
"We played seven young players and for me the young players are important for the club so it was good that we were able to bring them to the USA and given them time on the pitch.
"I like to work with young players because I broke through at the age of 16 and now how playing with really good players can help development.
"I think a mix between young and old players is very good."
Mancini accepted that the intensity of the tour would rise in the next two games when the Blues take on Club America in Atlanta in an 'indoor' contest and then fly to Baltimore to meet European Champions Inter Milan.
"Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry and Shaun Wright-Phillips will all feature in those games and there will be more game time for Kolo Toure too."
Vladimir Weiss will also be with the squad after his World Cup outings but Aleksandar Kolarov, Nigel de Jong, and Jerome Boateng will not.

The flu continues to spread in many areas of the state, reaching levels the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) classified geographically as "widespread." National data, however, shows that Connecticut's flu activity remains low compared to the rest of the U.S.
CDC's Influenza-Like-Illness (ILI) Level Indicator, shows that the state of Connecticut has respectively low ILI during week five of the flu season. Week 5 ended Feb. 1 and is the most recent CDC data available.
There are also predictions by regional medical professionals that this year the flu will be less prevalent than last year. "It's shaping up to be a mild to moderate year, not the moderate to severe year we had last year," Dr. Jack Ross told NBC Connecticut on Jan. 31.
This flu season, there have been 2,387 positive reported cases of influenza in the state, according to the CT DPH. The vast majority of these reported flu cases have been Type A, also known as 2009 H1N1 or "swine flu.
In Hartford County, the CT DPH reports that 623 people have been infected with influenza, ranking second in the number of cases per county in the state. Neighboring Tolland County reports 80 cases.
As of week 5, eight influenza-associated deaths have occurred in patients older than 45 years. None of the nation's 40 flu-related child deaths occurred in Connecticut. There were 57 flu-related deaths in the state last year.
The number of Connecticut patients reporting "fever/flu" symptoms who checked into emergency departments is significantly fewer during week 5 of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) this year than last. The visits also appear to be on the decrease from the biggest spike of season in all the planning regions of Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS), including East Windsor's Region 3.
Google Flu Trends also shows a dramatic decrease in flu-like activity this year in Connecticut when compared to last year, particularly between late December and late January. Google's Flu Trends accumulates Google search terms data to estimate flu activity.
Dr. Ross also predicted that Connecticut has already seen the worst of the flu and may have peaked during the last week of January, or will this week or next.
Visit Eastchester's HamletHub for tips on how to avoid the flu this season.
If you do find yourself with the flu or a really bad cold, East Windsor's (and my) own nutrition and lifestyle coaching practice, Mind-Body Shift, offers up tried-and-true ways to fight off the cold and flu naturally, with additional recommendations made by regional naturopathy physicians, acupuncturists and herbalists.

It matters not how many times one has read books or magazine and internet articles, seen films, TV programs or plays about the Holocaust; it remains incomprehensible that it actually occurred. "And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank," seen Saturday at the Indiana Repertory Theatre, was a critical reminder that one of the most heinous crimes in the history of mankind deserves constant repetition for those who would forget its lessons, deny it ever happened or have no awareness of it at all.
The tension-filled and gripping drama, written by IRT playwright in residence James Still, is one of the most widely produced plays in the world. Previously staged by the IRT in 1996 and 2005, this production was given first-rate direction by associate artistic director Courtney Sale. The cast includes Mark Goetzinger, Elizabeth Hutson, Jennifer Johansen, Weston LeCrone, Joseph Mervis, and Zoe Turner.
"And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank" is based on video-taped interviews Stills conducted with Eva Geiringer and Ed Silverberg, two Holocaust survivors, both of whom were acquainted with Anne Frank, the 15 year old Jewish girl whose "Diary of Anne Frank" chronicled her war-time experiences prior to her imprisonment and death in a German concentration camp.
It was obvious that Still is a skilled interviewer given that he was able to elicit information and details from both of his subjects who were direct and candid in their replies to his questions. It was also apparent that he had gained their trust enough that they were able to share their extremely personal and often horrendously painful memories with him.
In 1942, Eva and her mother went into hiding from the Nazis, as did her father and brother Heinz, who went to another location in Amsterdam, where the family lived. Two years later on her 15th birthday, she and her mother were discovered and arrested, as were her father and brother. They were all taken to concentrations camps from which only Eva and her mother survived. Eventually, Eva's mother married Anne's father, Otto Frank, who was also a survivor.
Silverberg, who Anne Frank referred to as Hello (short for Helmuth) in her diary, changed his name to Ed and now lives in Hackensack, N.J. Born in Gelson-Kirchen, Germany in 1926, his perilous journey began in 1938 on Kristallnacht when a mob looted his family's home and beat his mother. Sent to Amsterdam (where he met and became friends with Anne Frank) to live with his grandparents, Silverberg eventually reunited with his parents. Later the family retreated to a house outside Brussels and hid for 26 months until the British Army liberated them in 1944.
The format of the play consists of excerpts of Stills' interviews with his two subjects followed by the actors dramatizing incidents referred to or introduced by Geiringer and Silverberg in their sound bites. Making for seamless transitions from video to live performance were the overlapping ends of sentences spoken by the survivors on tape repeated at the beginning of sentences spoken by the actors as dialogue in each scene.
Veteran actor Mark Goetzinger, who has appeared in more than 80 productions at the IRT, turned in a strong performance as Ed's father and Pappy (Eva's father), as did Jennifer Johansen as Ed's mother and Mutti (Eva's mother). Both professional actors were successful in portraying their individual characters, providing each with their own separate personalities and imbuing them with the sort of maternal/paternal characteristics one would expect in such horrendous circumstances.
Very impressive were the three high school and one middle school-aged non-professional actors who filled out the remainder of the cast.
Elizabeth Hutson shone as Young Eva, a young innocent who develops an unbreakable bond with her mother, her only company for the two years they are in hiding. Later she maintains her own strength and resilience, bolstering her mother, and vice versa, as they undergo the vilest of conditions together in the concentration camp, and later after they are liberated during their long trek home to Amsterdam after the war has ended.
Zoe Turner was excellent as free spirited Anne Frank—capturing her character's well documented precociousness and vivacious curiosity.
Joseph Mervis, who made an impact last season in the IRT's "Jackie and Me," also showed promise here as Young Ed, who displayed unbelievable courage and tenacity. Missing a curfew, he was arrested by the Germans but jumped from a truck to escape and at different times during the war he made dangerous trips alone, throughout Europe, to be with his family.
Weston LeCrone, the youngest member of the cast, can also look forward to a successful career, if his distinct portrayals of a Hitler youth and Heinz (Eva's older brother) were any indication his versatile talent. One of the most heartbreaking moments in the play took place when LeCrone as a member of the feared SS, described a Nazi indoctrination practice which involved the strangling on puppies to demonstrate blind loyalty to the Führer. Extremely painful to learn about, the sick ritual, nevertheless, provided a window into the murderous psyche of the Nazi leadership.
The IRT's Upper Stage is the location for Still's multi-media play, which showcases designer Rowan Doyle's foreboding set featuring railroad tracks with a stylized perspective and barbed wire—images inevitably, associated with the Holocaust. Also included are hanging video screens on which Geiringer's and Silverberg's interviews, along with various images, are projected and seen by audience members on all three sides of the theater's arena style space. Contributing to the production's always present sense of impending is Betsy Cooprider Bernstein's lighting design, which provides the play's environment with its sinister quality—all thoroughly enhanced by composer and sound designer Todd Mack Reischman's melancholy score and chilling sound effects. Effective as well are Guy Clarke's costumes created to transport the audience with his deftly executed WWII-era designs.
With very few Holocaust survivors still living to share their experiences, it is even more crucial that works like "And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank" be seen by young people. Fortunately, Stills' impactful work includes characters who speak universal and timeless truths about the the nature of youth. Consequently, Young Eva, Young Ed and Anne Frank convey messages that are relatable and hopefully inspire their contemporary peers to ensure that what happened to them is not repeated, anywhere, to anyone in the world. Never Again.

You know how's there all these memes going around about how foodies are lame and we have to stop taking pictures of our rustic lamb chops and crusty bread and posting them on Instagram? I'm calling a bitch please on that situation. I love seeing pictures of bowls of fruit with perfect dollops of yogurt and all the pretty ingredients that someone is about to turn into a super healthy #fitness #health #fitstagram smoothie. There's a reason why Pinterest is popular and it's because we're all nosey little cherubs and love to look at what other people are doing. We like things a lot better if they're pretty, which is why the popular page of Pinterest is usually littered with pins of home made baked goods and country life style jars of pickles, because secretly most people want to have an airy open kitchen with bunches of dried herbs hanging from the ceiling and a mint green KitchenAid on the counter. Here's how to organise your kitchen and make it totally swoon worthy enough for the likes of Donna Hay, the first lady of smug kitchen cleanliness.
How To Make Donna Hay Swoon Over Your Kitchen
Have an open pantry
If you want that messily-wrapped-in-brown-paper-muffins-look to your kitchen then have an open pantry. Empty your flours and sugars into mason jars and label them with a Dymo. You can store almost all of your pantry food in this way and it's much better than keeping items in their original bags and trying to re-seal them every time you use them. It keeps your pantry items fresher for longer and looks dead cute on a shelf in your kitchen.
Display your cooking utensils
Why not pile all your spatulas and egg flippers into a pretty jar and leave it on your kitchen bench? Pile any gorgeous crockery in a stack on a shelf? Hang your pots from the ceiling? There's no need to keep everything hidden away. Especially if it's something like Le Creuset or Bison. A beautiful casserole dish will look gorgeous on a kitchen island or tucked into the corner of your kitchen bench.
Use food as a decorator item
When you buy a bunch of herbs, pop the leftovers from that night's dinner into a small vase on the kitchen bench. It will remind you to use up your left overs and it will also add a gorgeous little sprig of delicious and fragrant greenery to your kitchen for a few days. Display any fruit that doesn't need refrigerating in a beautiful fruit bowl that matches your decor. I have a total weakness for fruit bowls and I have several but my favourite is this one we have from Fink. We have an older version of it but it's just such a beauitful piece and it's completely timeless. If you happen to be getting married soon register for a shite load of Fink stuff. You won't regret it.
What do you struggle with the most in your kitchen? Storage? Cleaniness? Decorating?

Groan, the dishes! I hate doing dishes, and always leave them as long as possible before rolling up my sleeves and attacking the piles like a whirlwind.
I love the idea of de-canting things from their paper containers though, and do this regularly with things like flour and sugar. In my last house, we had pantry moths a couple of times and the only way to properly get rid of the horrid things was to get everything into glass or plastic containers and remove all of the paper boxes, etc.
- Author
Oh wow! I didn't know pantry moths were a thing! Yuck!
They're horrid. My favourite house website, Apartment Therapy, has information about them here:
Oils break down with sunlight and heat, so I decant them into smaller dark bottles and keep them on a small timber board near the stove, together with the balsamic, Tabasco and chipotle, which means my basics are to hand. I already do most of these things you've listed… The hard part for me is bench space, as it's a small galley kitchen, I've my full batterie de cuisine (which can be quite different to the next person's), all the usual china and glassware, plus all the foodstuffs. And cookbooks. I've done a fair bit of culling, but keeping enough bench space clear is the hard one. I recently got rid of my lovely wooden knife block and went to a magnetic strip under the cup cupboard next to the stove, got me back a bit of bench space, but also made that corner look a lot less crowded. The window ledge is full of jars and jugs with different implements (Must Have Wooden Spoons), and I fully endorse narrow shelves where the bench meets the walls, lots of space for jars of tea, salt pig, pepper grinders, etc. Knock them up from pine and paint to blend in. Or be brave and mount them on angle brackets, again, painted to blend in.
What I do miss from my old home (along with the extras bench space I had), is the rail I used to dry herbs on.
The biggest trick to keeping a neat kitchen in washing up as you go (aka don't let it pule up), and putting away the shopping as soon as you get it inside. which means I should go do the washing up now….
- Author
We're twins! I have a magnetic strip too! And we have an open pantry that's stacked fruit boxes.
Our one bit of open shelving is part of an ex-govvie bookcase. Bottom shelf has records, next one up is the dog rugs and first aid, then the stereo and top shelf has all the pastas, beans, flours, sugars, etc, all in labelled glass jars…..
Moving into a house with a dishwasher has been the best thing ever for making my kitchen tidy. Even better is it's one of those split drawer ones so you can put on half-loads.
Also – FINK! Love love love their stuff. I bought one of their jugs in their annual seconds sale (it has a teeny ding in the bottom) and it's probably my favourite kitchen thing.
- Author
Fink is THE BEST! When I'm rich all my things will be fink. Also, I just couldn't even live without a dishwasher. That sounds so princessy but it's the truth!

Richard II
by William Shakespeare
Character Role Analysis
Richard is the protagonist of the play – he's the main character, and we spend most of our time tracking his fall from power. Even though Richard has some major flaws and seems like the worst king ever, it's his death that makes this play a tragedy. (Go to "Genre" for more on this.)

I Take Great Offense
Jesus Christ is Attacked
From: Dave
To: "Positive Atheism"
Subject: Letters Meant To Hurt
Date: Monday, 27 December 2004
Dear Sir,
I wrote you a letter earlier. I want to say that I understand that this site is for people who believe similarly to you but I find it interesting and now and then find reason to e-mail you.
First of all, I take great offense when Jesus Christ is attacked. If someone doesn't believe in Him, then they should just "not believe in Him." There is no reason to attack Him whether you believe in Him or not.
Second, I see a lot of hate mail directed at you, also. Like, "I hope I see your flesh burn off." I would like to say that I don't wish to see that happen to you or anyone that believes like you.
The fact is, no one who is a true follower of Jesus Christ would ever say that he wants to see harm come to you. That is not what Christianity is about at all. There are loads of people who confess to be Christian but they are simply not.
Christianity, just like any other "attractive to the masses" group, religion, or organization, has been used by those who wish to be powerful. Therefore, any bad thing that comes of it is blamed on the true Christians.
A true Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ and that means to love their neighbor as themselves. If a person is attacking you on your website, then they are not following the truth that Jesus taught.
I am a Christian. I would not attack you and say bad things about you because you have to live your life the way you see it. The only thing I could ever do is to tell you that I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and basically it should end there. If you do not believe, then I am not going to turn around and call you names or even be biased toward you. If I did, then I am not following what I was told to do (and actually, what is now in my heart) by Jesus Christ while He was here on earth.
A lot of what I am trying to get at is that there are a lot of bad things blamed on Christianity, but you have to remember that Christianity has been inundated with "wolves in sheep's clothing" and I believe the more powerful a so-called Christian is, the more likely he just might not be a Christian at all. Jesus was not very powerful in the earthly sense, but He had a great power. The power that he possessed is not evident in most so-called Christians who have earthly power today.
I hope that you wont think so badly of a true Christian even though you don't believe what they believe. Their duty is to obey the teachings of Jesus and to "let their light shine before men." They are not to attack anyone for the way that they believe else they would be driving you away from what they believe is the truth and the correct path to take to achieve the greatest thing that can be achieved in this life.
Sorry this is so long, but I want to say that I do not hate you at all. Just the opposite. I hope that during your life you find what you need to inherit all the good things that you are capable of achieving. I just happen to believe that calls for a sound belief in Jesus Christ. God bless you.
From: "Positive Atheism"
To: "Dave"
Subject: Letters Meant To Hurt
Date: December 29, 2004
I offer my sincerest thanks to you for expressing your thoughts about those who cast aspersions and otherwise try to vilify me, personally (to say nothing of my fellow atheists), and those who malign and disparage our work. Although it's one thing for us to respond forcefully to a falsehood aimed toward damaging our reputation as a web entity or the reputations of the World's atheists, it is another for any or all of us to feel "hurt"(in any sense of the word) by such behavior. I want to make this clear before we respond (gently albeit sternly) to your statement about our "attacking Jesus Christ," especially in the context of our so doing with the specific intention of hurting or harming anybody. If we (Positive Atheism) challenge or even ridicule a specific religious teaching (such as the one claiming that a "Jesus Christ" existed as a historical figure), we do so with the hope of helping others if we have any motives at all.
Our policy in relation to our fellow humans who happen to adhere to the Christian religion is initially one of friendly cooperation. In fact, we treat all people the same, be they theist or atheist; we try to give all people the benefit of the doubt, if you will, to take their statements at face value and to presuppose (at first) that they at least think they are telling the truth (that they're telling the truth to the best of their knowledge). Why treat anybody any differently, really?
This is not to say that we treat all ideas the same, however. But then (as my former associate Jack Trimpey was fond of pointing out), ideas are not sentient beings, and thus cannot have their feelings hurt. Ideas do not become offended, angered, or embarrassed.
Normally, we (the individuals at Positive Atheism) ignore the claims and sayings of religionists. It is none of our business what people think within the privacy of their own minds. We do take exception in three instances, however. We will respond or react when we feel that a particular religious act or statement is intrusive, exploitative, or dangerous.
Secondly, our site hosts a library for whose contents we take no editorial responsibility. The material is there, period. Admittedly, we often wholeheartedly agree with much of what is said therein, but this is not always the case. For a reader to hold us accountable for the opinions expressed by, say, Sam Clemens, would be akin to a constituent holding a county supervisor accountable for the opinions expressed in a certain book sitting on the shelf of the public library!
About the only other example of our expressing opinions about religious faith would be in the context of helping those who have recently deconverted from religious faith. If somebody converts to the Christian religion, she or he need only walk to the nearest church (which, in this country, is rarely farther than a short stroll). Here, our convert is sure to find someone (with an office, even, and usually a salary) who is willing to assist that person in his or her endeavor to jettison the reason-based thinking style and to unlearn those life-habits that are based upon thinking for oneself. In their place, the pair will carefully construct a regimen for living a faith-based life which often includes such concepts as "trusting God" and "leaning not unto one's own understanding."
(Just imagine! What would be the reaction of the neighbors if I were to rent an office or a building and hang a shingle announcing that I offer assistance to those who have decided to abandon their religious beliefs? I'd put good money on the likelihood that the shingle would be vandalized within a few days, tops. I say this even about Portland, Oregon, easily the major city having the highest concentration of nonbelievers [nontheists; atheists] in the country. Even if they did leave my office intact [and my person], numerous organized efforts would rise up against me, seeking to discredit me in an attempt to render my work ineffective. Yes, it's socially acceptable to be an atheist these days -- but don't let them think, even mistakenly, that you are trying to help others come to an understanding or an acceptance of your atheistic view.)
Please keep in mind our intentions, particularly on those occasions when we do make statements of this nature. When we criticize religious claims, we do so because we think it could be degrading or even dangerous for people to believe or to adhere to the dogmata that happens to have developed over the centuries in relation to these various claims.
We do not attack Jesus Christ. We cannot attack Jesus Christ! At minimum, if he did exist during the era most say he did, then he has been dead and his body decomposed for about two thousand years. At most, we've (I've) been given absolutely no reasons (whatsoever!) for believing the popular claim that a "Jesus Christ" once existed (or that he still exists, for that matter).
In other words, Jesus Christ, as far as we can tell, is no longer a person (if he ever was a person and not a wholly mythical figure).
Today, "Jesus Christ" exists entirely as an idea.
We need more than what has been offered before we can, in all honesty, grant our assent to the claims that somebody answering to one of the various descriptions given of Jesus Christ (the man) are statements of truth.
For you to take personally attacks you perceive to be directed toward another is your business. However, I am of the opinion that such is a palpably and unguardedly foolish thing to do, and I strongly recommend that you stop it this instant!! Do you hear me!? I say this out of a profound sense of dignity, toward the human species in general and toward you in particular.
If somebody says something mean and nasty about my Mother, that person has not insulted me (although that may have been his or her aim). Rather, such an individual would have insulted my Mother. Whoever did something like this would nevertheless have me to reckon with, not for having insulted me (nobody would have insulted me) but because I am committed to protecting the dignity of friends and family.
When I challenge the "Jesus Christ" claims, I am doing just that: challenging claims; I am doing no more than this.
When I challenge claims, I am, at minimum, suggesting that the people making the claim check their facts (and anybody who did this would stop saying "Jesus Christ existed as a historical figure"). At most, I am calling that person a willful liar, for knowingly stating as fact what she or he doesn't know to be fact, but only thinks to be true.
Abraham Lincoln happens to be the one who, in my opinion, best described this moral or ethical situation:
It is an established maxim and moral that he who makes an assertion
without knowing whether it is true or false is guilty of falsehood, and the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or
excuse him.
To summarize:
1. I am not challenging Jesus Christ: he is either myth or dead or both. The New Testament is not telling the truth about him; this is easily shown: which "spin" do you want?
2. I am, instead, challenging the claims that various people have made about "Jesus Christ." All of these claims are the ideas of people other than yourself. Had they been the fruit of your own thinking, I might see a temptation on your part to take offense.
3. Even if I could directly challenge Jesus Christ, it would be inappropriate for you to take it personally. In fact, one of our pastors suggested that if I were to attack you personally, it would be Jesus Christ who would rightly take offence (at least according to New Testament teaching), as you are supposedly working or acting directly on Christ's behalf.
4. If you make such claims, you may take my challenges personally only to the extent that, if you don't know or can't tell if a claim is verifiable truth, and yet call it truth nonetheless, then you are among those who practice the behavior which I, by challenging the claims, refer to as "committing falsehood" or "lying." (Perhaps I should henceforth call these "Lincoln Lies"?)
Thanks for writing!
Thanks especially for the opportunity to answer to the claims that we attack Christ or even Christians.

- Release Date: January 5, 1996
- Director: Terry Gilliam
- Main Actors: Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe
Based on the critically acclaimed 1962 short entitled La Jetee, 12 Monkeys is set within the plague-ravaged landscape of 2035 Earth, where a deadly virus has wiped out 99% of the planet's human population. Bruce Willis stars as James Cole, a convict who is enlisted for a pivotal mission that'll send him back in time to 1996 in an effort to discern precisely where the virus originated. Problems ensue after Cole instead finds himself sent to the year 1990, where he eventually encounters a mysterious figure named Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt).
It's not surprising to note that 12 Monkeys has become a bona fide science-fiction classic in the years since its 1996 theatrical release, as the film's irresistibly mind-bending premise is matched by director Terry Gilliam's expectedly inventive visuals. Gilliam's reputation as a fiercely creative filmmaker has ensured that his movies have left audiences and critics alike divided, with his hits (1985's Brazil, 1991's The Fisher King) matched by his failures (1998's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 2006's Tideland). There's little doubt, however, that 12 Monkeys represents one of those rare cases in which the film's various elements gel perfectly, from Willis' riveting performance to the eye-popping set design to the gleefully complex story line. The film, which remains Gilliam's highest-grossing effort to date, earned Oscar nominations for Brad Pitt's chameleon-like performance and Julie Weiss' futuristic costume design, and it does go without saying that 12 Monkeys has earned a place for itself alongside such lauded post-apocalyptic tales as The Terminator and Blade Runner.
12 Monkeys asks the viewer to contemplate a future in which a mere fraction of the current population exists, and it's difficult not to attach the label "cautionary tale" to the proceedings as a result. Though conceived in a pre-9/11 world, the film somehow seems more relevant than ever when placed into a contemporary context, as the concept of a deadly virus being deliberately released in multiple locations around the world is an all-too-plausible threat in this day and age. Beneath the social commentary and prescient atmosphere lies a surprisingly gripping thriller, however, which does ensure that 12 Monkeys lives up to its reputation as an uncommonly intelligent and thought-provoking piece of work.

I always clean my catch in the field as SWMBO is quite squeamish about the whole thing (she will not even be around when I gut fish). My youngest likes squirrel, especially when I am cooking, but she is also something of an animal lover. I try to teach her the ethics of hunting, factory meat, etc. but I find it tough. Her older sister is vegetarian and SWMBO only eats fish and poultry (and prefers it arrive in anonymous, pre-cut portions at that). I have yet to get acquiesnce to even take my eldest out to learn to shoot.
Anyway, in deference to household sensibilities, I always clean my catch in the field, no exceptions. Yesterday I had my two rabbits and two squirrels cleaned and was hustling for the truck to get home in time for a kid holiday performance when I saw a squirrel sunning itself on a tree limb. I had the sun to my back and he did not see me or move. I could not resist, so I sent him a 20 gauge dinner invitation. Squirrel in the bag, but I had no time to clean him since I was barely going to make it home in time already. So I finally had to clean a squirrel at home. Everyone else disappeared, but my youngest told me she wanted to see the squirrel. After asking if she was sure, I showed it to her. She wanted to know what color squirrel blood was, so when I cut the tail she saw. That was about as much as she wanted to see and I wanted to show her, so she went inside until I was done (and took the theiving hound dogs with her). I showed her the carcass when I was done. I got mixed messages later that evening, stating that she didn't want to eat squirrel any more and that she did want to eat it. I guess we will see when I serve it up next.
I am not quite sure how to get this all across to a 7 year old. The rest of the family is funny about meat, where it comes from, animal ethics, etc. I don't want to put her off one of her favorite foods, yet I don't want to mislead her or get the wrong message across. I make a point of telling her that out of respect to the animal we use every part of it that we can (I keep the tails for Mepp's and I may start tanning squirrel hides) and that unlike the factory chicken the squirrel got to live a full life as a squirrel in the wild before it became dinner for us. Anything else I should be trying to get across?

This is one of those topics that in the last couple of years I try to stay away from, but with whats going on in todays world I think I got to give my thoughts. Now I have never been a fella to mince words but brewer you are screwed. Now I know your going to get upset because my opinion that is based on personal experiences will offend you but heck here goes. My kids and many of children of the folks who post here probably were lugging dead squirrels and fish around when they were three years old. They saw deer hanging in trees in the yard or the barn and were standing there when they were butchered. And for me that was both sons and daughter nieces and nephews. They saw it from the time they could remember and had no second thoughts. They were told at the table what the meat was and no more was said about it. My wife who went hunting with here dad only a few times was raised on wild game and has no problem eating it (she don't like quail) all of here sisters and their kids will eat wild game except oneNow the one sister whos kids will not touch a piece of wild game or meat in general for the most part had the misfortune of marrying a fella who did not hunt or fish and his family did not hunt or fish. I will never forget one Christmas gathering when they stayed at our house and I was skinning coons the next morning after the previous nights hunt those three kids squalling and bawling over coons being skinned out in the back yard. You would have thought I had smashed the new Ninetendo they just got for Christmas.
Now all of my kids had also shot guns from the time they could hold them, my daughter Danielle would go squirrel hunting with me when she was 4 or 5 years old and would go to sleep with her head on lap in the woods (I think that was some of the last times I sat down while hunting) I really think that you are facing a very hard task and wish you luck.

some people you can never convince , grownups? however keep on trying with the kids . and teach your son to shoot over any objections … my grandfather taught me to shoot on his knee when I was about 4 . and after a couple of lessons went around the house shooting sparrows so I would know that it would kill. My present wife was educated a few weeks before we married by the road killed buck on ice in the bathtub, much damage to my van . really warm weather and afternoon dove hunt. she will not eat any game except pheasant nor any freshwater fish. so I get to eat all of it.
to remain silent and be considered a fool or speak and remove all doubt?

I have never quite understood the mindset of "Selective Killing", wherein it's OK to kill & eat critter A but killing & eating critter B is considered morally appalling. I can understand if someone doesn't care for the taste of a particular animal but to make up some arbitrary set of moral guidelines seems somewhat hypocritical. Poor chickens & fish, they must have the world's worst PR guy.
For you Brewer, I think the 22man is right that you're screwed. At the very least you have a tough uphill climb. Pretty much anything I would suggest doing is just going to piss your wife off so perhaps it is best if I keep my big mouth shut.

My wife has actually made big strides and has gone from freaking out about a .22 in the house to sitting at the table with me while I am eating game. I don't push too much and I pick my battles, so thus far it has worked in my favor. She will never go hunting with me (fine by me, as it is my "get my head back in order" time), but she did eat the chukar I shot last month, much to my amazement.
As for critter A vs. critter B, I myself am a bit more nuanced. I will never eat dog, and I will never intentionally hunt coyotes since they are too dog-like (self defense is another matter). I don't eat factory farmed pork or beef due to the widespread cruelty in the industry. But I eat grass fed beef and bison on occasion and I look forward to the day (maybe next year) when I take a trip somewhere overrun with feral hogs and figure out how to hunt the buggers (possibly with the help of a guide).
Both my kids are girls. My eldest is actually interested in learning to shoot and has already dabbled in archery, so I think its just a mattere of time before we get out in the woods with a .22.

NO WAY. I've been running full tilt making hand over fist because so many auctioneers have decided to take a break until cataclysm. I ask them why and they say they're bored or just tired or whatever reason they can come up with. I understand that the content is currently a little slugish and the game is no where near as entertaining as it will be when cataclysm launches, but why not take advantage of a thriving auction house in the mean time?
It pays to be different.
While others are emptying guild banks or taking a break until cataclysm I'm plugging away selling everything I can at insane markups. The farmers are still out there looking for people to buy their goods and new toons are constantly hitting level 80 regardless of whether you take a break or not. Many people are telling you to dump your items now while you still can. I'm saying don't you dare and you better take advantage of those that do!
What you should be doing now.
- Looking for empty markets to price gouge
- Keeping an eye out for farmers dumping cheap materials
- Checking for guilds and auctioneers alike emptying their guild banks into the auction house
- Leveling Alts to get access more professions
- Selling but reacting to price changes
The sad truth is, many items you may think are going to be worthless when cataclysm hits are actually going to be gold mines. Think before you liquidate!

Gynecological Oncologist
Does anyone have a recommendation for a very conservative gyn oncologist who is familiar with endometriosis? thanks
Strieff's nursing staff never returned calls. When I was in the middle of chemo and was suffering bad side affects and had questions that needed answering right away, they didn't call back even though the answering machine message said they would return all calls on the same day. I had to call the receptionist and ask her to ask the nurses to call me back.
The nursing staff did not check my vitals when I came in for chemo. I think they performed visual checks only.
The nursing staff did not help me deal with side affects of chemo. I called to reschedule chemo because I was having a bad side affect (diarrhea). When I called they just said "sure, we'll move it to Wednesday." They should have asked me how severe the condition was, what medication I was taking, and discussed what I could do to alleviate the problem. They didn't even ask me how I was feeling.
I only realized the degree to which Strieff's staff was not doing its job when I moved to another oncologist whose nursing staff was amazing, proactive, caring, and nurturing. anon
Im looking for a recommendation for a gynecological oncologist to consult. Id also like to speak to other women in my situation.
I have ovarian cancer, Im almost done with chemo, and I would like to speak to a gynecological oncologist about the decisions I have to make now. I have gotten input from my current gyn/onc and would like to speak to another expert to get another perspective. If you have a doc you especially like or respect, please let me know.
I would also like to speak to other women with ovarian cancer about how they reached their treatment decision when chemo was over. Thank you very much. R.
Because they ended up not being cancerous I didn't have much continued contact with her, just a few meetings, but she was incredibly informative, patient, and relaxing to talk with.
I think this is still her number: (415) 353-9600.
Good luck finding someone and all the best with the next stages of your treatment. Anon

Everybody in the Wild With Matt and Riley
Independence Creek Preserve
Independence Creek
Matt and Riley come upon an archaeological fossil find amid a desert oasis on West Texas' Independence Creek Preserve.
College students Matt Vale and Riley Engemoen are traveling throughout Texas this summer, visiting Conservancy preserves and documenting their adventures through Matt's pen and Riley's video camera.
By Matt Vale
We leave for the archeological dig at Independence Creek Preserve in the heat of day; once we get there, the place is dead asleep. We pitch our tent on the first thing we see: an inexplicable runway (the former owners') and eat cold soup; play guitar on the center stripe. Javelina hooves clatter across the moonlit asphalt, our little island of the known in the big dark valley, and crash back into the primordial brush; the spirit world, it seems like.
Sunrise reveals the valley. Independence creek is dramatic—a shimmering blue ribbon cutting through mesa desert. We come to the pools of Caroline Spring and I think we've woken up in a 12th century Persian garden. Impossibly clear blue water; an oasis in the wilderness. The Conservancy protects a tremendous amount of freshwater: Caroline Spring contributes 3000 to5,000 gallons per minute to Independence Creek, which, as a tributary, roughly doubles the flow of the Pecos River and cuts its total suspended solids almost in half. Downstream, Lake Amistad and the Gulf of Mexico feel those benefits.
It's a true wildlife oasis: most of the surface water around here is too salty; Independence Creek and her springs provide crucial freshwater to the Lower Pecos. State threatened fish—the Proserpine Shiner, Rio Grande Darter and Headwaters Catfish—thrive here alongside rare snail species. The abundant water supports a riparian corridor, which provides important habitat for migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and Neotropical species.
The water is lovely. But there's more going on: the excavation of a site discovered by the Conservancy's Lower Pecos Program Coordinator, Lisa Wrinkle. In 2004, a one hundred year flood eroded the banks of Dry Creek, behind Lisa's house. While hiking with her mom in 2009, Lisa spotted a jawbone stuck in the newly exposed cut bank, plus some vertebrae and fire-cracked rock—rocks that prehistoric people used as hearths. Lisa's a trained wildlife biologist; she identified the remains as bison, and knew that their proximity to fire-cracked rock was significant.
Archeologists at the Center for Big Bend Studies (CBBS) at Sul Ross University told her to excavate as much as she could before the bank eroded further. Turns out Lisa's a natural—"On my kitchen table, I set up an impromptu lab. It was pretty labor-intensive. But it was fun." She set up the grid system on the bank, picked dirt out of all the bones, preserved them by painting on special resin, and photographed everything.
Even with experts here, Lisa's work has been critical. Sam Cason, Project Archeologist at CBBS said, "When we saw the work Lisa had done, we said 'yeah, that's about exactly what we would've done." She's been the watchful protector: on the night of the archeologists' first visit, Lisa checked on the bones during a heavy downpour. They were crumbling from the bank and the creek was rising. She called in what you might call an Archeology Triple-Action-Strike-Force-Delta-Squad: Sam's crew descended with headlamps and rescued the bones before they washed away. A rare archeological emergency.
For the archeologists, it's fortunate that Lisa has so thoroughly looked after the site. Sam says that the exact spatial relationships between the artifacts as they sit in the dirt—their provenience—tells you a lot: how the animal died, whether people or scavengers dismembered it; even the mobility patterns and size of the group of people. "Largely what we do is retrieval of information," Sam says. "Not just artifacts and treasures." And it's important information—this site contains the first evidence of bison hunting in this area.
"And wilderness is paradise enow…"
It's hot at the dig; Riley and I flee for the loving arms of the creek. The austere desert freely gives extravagant gifts here—I feel like taking it up on its offer, sleeping in the rock shelter just downstream, sitting on the creek's bank and listening, learning to live off her blessings.
We chase the sunset down to the Pecos, where she meets Independence Creek—we pass through a stand of oaks to the sandy shore, into a cathedral of cliff, sky, river, desert. The air hums with the movements of sundown, all the light-poetics of the spinning earth. Massive, angular boulders are strewn along the base of the cliff like careless die, and in the blue gloaming, bat silhouettes chirp above my head and echo against the cliffs. The cliff-sky ceiling is a vaulting bigness; under it, I feel rain-dancelike and expanded. And slipping into the dark channel I feel the benevolence of this water in the thirsty desert, the wide-open yearning to clamber up one of the boulders, slapping hands and feet, and howl in unknown syllables for the hell of being alive in a body; for all this outrageous river and rock and desert and space. Then leap off the boulder for the sake of meeting the dark water in a crash of bewilderment, uproar.
10:00—near-full moon—Riley says, "We should sleep here." We drive back to shovel down dinner and return as fast as we can. But we realize we have no charged camera batteries, no free memory cards. Had to spend the evening appeasing the technology. There are times when luxuries are loathsome things—slept indoors away from the Creek, the Pecos, feeling like a cowhand pining for his wild desert sweetheart.

Two Amarillo High seniors used familiarity to lead the West to a four-set victory over the East in the 2013 Texas High School Golden Spread All Star Volleyball Tournament on Saturday.
Setter Callie Hill and outside hitter Jamie Munkres had everything working as the West topped the East, 25-21, 15-25, 25-17, 25-16, at the First United Bank Center in Canyon.
"It was a fun day," West coach Dean Crump said. "These girls are all talented. They worked real hard. I'm real proud of them."
Hill racked up 43 assists in the championship game, connecting with Munkres for 21 kills.
"Jamie and Callie have played together for forever," Crump said. "Callie has been her setter in club ball and in high school for many years. Their timing is so impeccable."
Hill said she is happy to to share the victory with her friend one last time.
"Jamie is like my sister." Hill said. "We've been through everything together. It's kinda sad it's over now. Jamie is a very intense player. She will hit the ball no matter what. I know we will be friends past volleyball. The whole volleyball experience has been amazing with her."
Munkres said the four years of playing with Hill in club and high school volleyball helped the timing in the championship match.
"It's awesome because I've been able to play with her for four years," Munkres said. "We were able to get our timing down. I think just going through all the hard times with every other team has really helped us."
Hill, who was named tournament MVP, said she was excited to see all her volleyball friends again.
"It's so much fun to see everybody," Hill said. "It's like the last shabang for all the seniors. It's so much fun. I love it."
Munkres said it was fun to get to play with some players she generally has to face during the high school season.
"It's such an honor to just be asked to play with all these girls," she said. "It's just amazing to play with everyone we've never gotten to play with before. It's a lot of fun."
