Why UCLA Athletics?
Here are 25 major reasons why becoming a UCLA Bruin is so special:
1. UCLA was recognized by the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) Conference as the No. 1 overall Collegiate Athletic Program of the 20th Century. UCLA continues to lead the nation in NCAA titles, winning 108 at the end of the 2011 calendar year.
2. UCLA enters 2012 with 108 NCAA team championships, more than any other school in the nation. All 108 championships have been won since 1950. No school can match UCLA's overall athletic success.
3. Since the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal through the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, UCLA has produced more Olympians and won more Olympic medals than any other university. From the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, UCLA ranked fifth overall as its own country in gold medals won.
4. Since 1998, UCLA has been the nation's most popular university based on the number of annual freshman applicants. A record-high 91,512 students from increasingly diverse ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds applied for Fall 2012 admission to UCLA.
5. In the U.S. News & World Report surveys on top academic universities across the nation, UCLA has annually ranked among the Top 4 public universities and in the Top 25 overall. UCLA has had over 60 departments ranked in the Top 20 in the annual academic survey. Several UCLA academic departments rank with those at Ivy League schools in terms of overall recognition and prestige. Newsweek called UCLA "the hottest mega-university in the country."
6. UCLA was recognized as the 1954 National Champion in football. The Bruin men's basketball team has won a record 11 NCAA titles, more than any other university. The Bruins have appeared in more championship games than any other school. UCLA won the 1978 Women's Basketball National Collegiate Championship in Pauley Pavilion, becoming the first major Division I university to ever do so. UCLA set a record attendance of 9,351 for the first nationally-televised women's basketball game; that record stood for eight years. UCLA is one of only a handful of universities to have ever won national championships in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.
7. The most successful active Division I coach in NCAA history is UCLA's Al Scates, with a record 19 NCAA men's volleyball titles. Scates is believed to be the only current NCAA coach to have won titles in five decades - 60's (two USVBA), 70's (seven NCAA), 80's (six NCAA), 90's (four NCAA) and the first title of the new millennium (2000) plus another title in 2006. He was the first volleyball coach to record 1,000 career victories.
8. Since the early 1970's, UCLA has lost only two head coaches to another Division I university. This coaching stability is rooted in tremendous administrative and staff support. The athletic department provides expert support for all of its intercollegiate sports in the areas of compliance, development, marketing, camps and media relations. Student-athletes at UCLA are part of a Bruin tradition in an athletic department that puts the student-athlete experience first.
9. If you add the current UCLA professional players in Major League Baseball, pro football, pro basketball, pro soccer, pro tennis, pro golf and pro beach volleyball, there are more Bruin representatives playing professionally than any other school in the nation.
10. UCLA alumni are known internationally for their success in entertainment, medicine, business, education and politics. The UCLA name appears in more publications and on television and radio every day than any other university in the world, according to research by `Newswatch' Magazine. Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy winners have come from UCLA; Nobel Prize winners are also here; new discoveries in medicine happen annually at UCLA. UCLA is constantly in the public eye. UCLA recently surpassed the $1 billion barrier in research grants.
11. The Internet was invented at UCLA. This university awards more doctoral degrees to minority students than any other college. UCLA was the first university in the Western United States at which open-heart surgery was performed. UCLA's Medical Center has been ranked No. 1 on the West Coast every year since 1989. It is the #1 on-campus college facility in the nation. The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is ranked as one of the Top 5 hospitals in the entire United States.
12. UCLA's athletic department has consistently been ranked in the Top 10 in overall sports rankings since they began in 1971. UCLA was honored 22 times as the #1 men's or women's program or combined program, more than any other university. Since the Director's Cup rankings began in 1993-94, UCLA has ranked in the Top 6 all but twice. Since 2002-03 when Dan Guerrero became UCLA's Athletic Director, UCLA is #1 among all Division I universities in NCAA team championships won (22).
13. UCLA is the only university to produce an NFL player who has helped his team win three consecutive Super Bowls -- Ken Norton, Jr. -- and the first quarterback to win three Super Bowls in four years -- Troy Aikman. At least one Bruin has been on a team roster in 29 of the last 32 Super Bowls. In most years, UCLA has had a member of the Super Bowl championship team.
14. For more than a decade on the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) Tour, a UCLA player was in the championship match of either the men's or women's finals over 80% of the time from 1993-2004. During that same time frame, a UCLA player won over 75% of the men's and women's events on the pro tour. More players have come from UCLA than any other college in the world to participate in the Olympic Beach competition through 2012. Beach Olympic participants include gold medalists Karch Kiraly and Kent Steffes, bronze medalists Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs, current head sand volleyball coach Stein Metzger, Kevin Wong and Jeff Nygaard. Kiraly, Steffes and former Bruins Sinjin Smith and Randy Stoklos consist of the top four all-time winners in AVP history, while Metzger is also in the Top 30 in AVP wins. McPeak became the all-time women's pro beach winner in 2004, a spot she held until she was passed in 2008 by Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Youngs, Jenny Johnson-Jordan and Annett Buckner-Davis were three of the top 10 players on the women's AVP tour.
15. When Sports Illustrated rated the nation's collegiate athletic programs for the first time, UCLA was selected No. 1. UCLA was recognized for its balance in academics, athletics and social life. UCLA remains a national fixture when the discussion turns to the best universities. UCLA is still No. 1 in Sports Illustrated cover appearances by its athletes and coaches entering the 2011-12 academic year.
16. UCLA's Paul Caligiuri scored the "Shot Heard Around the World", the goal that gave the USA a berth in the 1990 World Cup, its first in 40 years. UCLA has placed more players on the USA team than any other college. A record five former Bruins -- Cobi Jones, Brad Friedel, Eddie Lewis, Frankie Hedjuk, and Joe-Max Moore -- were contributing members for the 2002 USA World Cup squad that advanced to the quarterfinals. Through 2010, UCLA boasts 14 World Cup players, more than any other college. At the conclusion of the 2011 Major League Soccer season, UCLA had produced an all-time league-best 56 MLS players.
17. The Pac-10 named UCLA's Natalie Williams its first female Athlete of the Decade for her All-America play in both volleyball and basketball. She followed a long line of multi-sport Bruin athletes which included stars such as Jackie-Joyner-Kersee (track & field and basketball), Rafer Johnson (track & field and basketball), Jackie Robinson (baseball, football, basketball, track & field), and Ann Meyers-Drysdale (basketball, volleyball, track and field). Other significant UCLA two-sport athletes include Jonathan Ogden (football and track and field), Kristee Porter (volleyball, track & field and basketball), Danny Farmer (football and volleyball), Freddie Mitchell (football & baseball), Lauren Fendrick (volleyball & softball), Whitney Jones (basketball and track & field), Ryan Hollins (basketball and track & field), Matt McKinney (basketball and volleyball), Darius Savage (football and track & field), Brittany Ringel (volleyball and basketball) and Danesha Adams (soccer and softball). UCLA's Academic Quarter System makes multi-sport student-athletes a strong possibility.
18. UCLA was the first university in history to win a bowl game in seven consecutive seasons. UCLA played in the Rose Bowl game in five straight decades. UCLA has consistently ranked in the Top 15 in the number of professional players in the National Football League.
19. UCLA is situated in one of the most desirable areas of Southern California, just five miles from the Pacific Ocean. The campus is surrounded by Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Westwood and Brentwood. The average home price within a three-mile radius of the Bruin campus is valued at over $2 million. The average year-round temperature is 74 degrees with little humidity. UCLA averages 334 sunny days a year, according to the US Weather Service.
20. Located in the nation's second-biggest media market, UCLA student-athletes receive national exposure as well as local coverage from numerous area newspapers, seven television stations and cable networks such as ESPN and Fox Sports Net. UCLA produces around 150 Internet broadcasts a year for its Olympic Sports. UCLA's website is ranked among the 10 most looked at college sites in the nation. The UCLA Daily Bruin has a daily circulation of more than 50,000. ESPN, Fox Sports Net and USA Today have offices in the Los Angeles area.
21. In the sport of tennis, UCLA is the only university to have two players from the same school face each other for the prestigious Wimbledon title--Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe in 1975. On the collegiate level, UCLA has been one of the three most dominant programs, winning numerous team and individual titles.
22. The UCLA Career Center allows college students to locate full-time and part-time jobs plus internships. It has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for its resources in publications such as Bloomberg Businessweek magazine. UCLA has rated No. 1 in placement of its students and student-athletes in total positions over an academic year. The Quarter System allows internship experience, often with class credit for work experience accommodating playing sport seasons. Most of the internships available through the UCLA Career Center are in business, communications, science and education.
23. UCLA had the NCAA's longest streak of consecutive winning seasons in the sport of men's basketball, a record that lasted over 50 years dating back to 1948-49 and extending through 2002. No other major program was close to that figure. UCLA basketball still holds many NCAA records that will be difficult to break for years to come.
24. UCLA is the only university/country that has produced the women's 100-meter dash winner in four straight Olympics - Evelyn Ashford in 1984, Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988 and Gail Devers in 1992 and 1996. UCLA is the only university to produce Olympic gold medalists in the decathlon (Rafer Johnson in 1960) and heptathlon (Jackie Joyner-Kersee in 1988 & 1992).
25. When you combine UCLA's prestigious academics (its graduates average over $77,500 per year in income), an incredible social life so close to the beach, and a great all-around athletic program that has produced Olympians, professional athletes and the most NCAA team championships, there is no university that can match the "total collegiate experience" that UCLA offers. That is why our motto is -- UCLA: Champions Made Here.

We have a 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Router in our livingroom. It connects via ethernet cables to a server and a couple desktops, and via wi-fi to the Wii and a couple laptops (one running WinXP Home, the other Ubuntu 9.04).
The server and the desktops get their IP from the router using DHCP without problems.
The laptops and the Wii often end up requesting an IP 4-5 times before giving up. Sometimes it works if you just retry, other times it wont work for 10-15 minutes and then suddenly work, and some times it wont work at all until the router has been power-cycled (causing the server and the desktops to get disconnected from the internet).
Looking at the logs from the ubuntu laptop and the router, I can see that when it isn't working, the laptop sends a discover request, the router sees the request and issues an offer. The laptop sees no offer and sends a new discover, which the router replies to with a new offer. Repeat until the laptop gives up after a minute or so.
Since the router claims to be sending the offer, and the laptop doesn't see it, I was going to write it down as an ubuntu problem, until I realised the WinXP laptop had the same problem (although less often), and so does the Wii. I'm now wondering if it's a problem with the router, and if it's fixable or if I have to get a new one?
Other related information:
- There are atleast 15 other wlans available in our apartment block
- We use WPA encryption on the connection
- There is no such problem when connecting to our neighbours unencrypted wlan (probably using a dlink router of some sort).

Go-kart, or kart, as it's shortened today--the name probably brings back memories of your youth. It was most likely a crude, homemade yard vehicle that you and your siblings had a ball racing in the backyard. That was then; this is now.
You may have never had thoughts of racing this rude vehicle in a controlled environment, but today, it's an entirely different situation. The sport has matured into a professionally run, worldwide deal that serves as an initial learning ground for many past, present, and future professional race car drivers.
The sport is run on both dirt and pavement, with a variety of track configurations. And it's not just for boys anymore, as up to 10 percent of the drivers are now girls.
But as kart racing official Tony Barton explains, "Many that race the karts are out here for one big reason--to have fun and experience the thrill of competition. And they can do it for a long time as there is no age limit. The youngest drivers allowed have to be five years old, and we have one driver who is 75 years old!"
But if professional competition is your bag, you have to be impressed with the prestigious kart alumni list of drivers whose racing skills were honed by karting when they were young. Included are the likes of most Formula 1 drivers, along with NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Jeff and Ward Burton, Jamie McMurray, John Wood, and Brian Vickers, among others. In the IRL, there are both Sam Hornish Jr. and Sarah Fisher.
One of the huge advantages of Kart racing in the 2000s is its great versatility. Cars from a number of different classes run on both dirt and pavement, on several different sizes of ovals, along with the road courses at tracks like Daytona, Mid-Ohio, and other national tracks.

It looks like "Glee" star Naya Rivera is settling down. Rivera completely shocked fans when she announced her new marriage to Ryan Dorsey. The news comes just three months after Naya Rivera very publicly broke up with ex-fiance Big Sean. According to People Magazine on Wednesday, Dorsey and Rivera have been friends for years and found love after the Big Sean break up.
Ryan Dorsey and Naya Rivera met four years ago when Dorsey moved to Los Angeles from West Virginia. The pair struck up a friendship immediately and after the split from Big Sean, Dorsey and Rivera immediately became an item.
According to reports, the couple's short engagement was only 2 and a half months. Considering Naya and Big Sean called off their engagement in April, that means she became engaged again almost immediately. Despite just ending a year-long engagement, Naya didn't seem too affected and moved on to Ryan Dorsey with no issue.
The couple were reportedly married in a small Cancun, Mexico ceremony. Naya and Ryan were surrounded by a small number of friends and family. They exchanged Neil Lane rings while Naya wore a long-sleeved white Monique Lhullier gown and Ryan wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit.
Although not as recognizable as Naya, Kevin Dorsey is also an actor. He has played bit parts in television shows "Southland", "Parks and Recreation" and "Mob City." He also has the upcoming "Blood Father" with Mel Gibson to look forward to. Naya will be finishing up the last season of "Glee" with her role as Santana Lopez.
Naya Rivera's marriage came as a huge surprise to "Glee" fans. It will be interesting to see if Big Sean comments on the wedding or if he stays quiet. What do you think of the wedding news? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

"Le Week-End" began its theatrical run in Houston at the Landmark River Oaks theater starting Friday, April 4.
Meg (Lindsay Duncan) and Nick (Jim Broadbent) are an elderly British couple who have been together for a whopping 30 years, but their marriage is now struggling. They take a trip to Paris for the weekend where they hope to recapture the magic they once had, but even the most well made plans often sway and falter like the ups and downs of a long lasting marriage.
Meg and Nick seem to simultaneously love and hate each other and they loathe that fact to the utmost degree. Nick feels neglected and is constantly chasing after his wife for love, intimacy, and company. Meanwhile Meg is convinced that her marriage is over and that the love is gone between her and Nick; no passion or romance.
The majority of the film is nothing but constant bickering between Meg and Nick. Meg complains about the hotel room being "too beige" as soon as the film begins. She stomps out of the hotel with Nick trailing behind her. They sight-see around Paris in a taxi before Meg picks out the most expensive hotel that catches her eye. While Nick is consistently worried about money, Meg just wants to have a good time no matter what the cost.
Meg's indecisiveness grinds on your last nerve. She tells Nick that she wants him to leave and even has a conversation with him about dumping him on their anniversary, but when she wakes up one night and can't find him she gets upset. Her inability to decide on whether or not to stay with Nick is matched by Nick's fear of desertion. Nick's talk of work forcing him into early retirement and Meg pushing him down and causing him to hurt his knee are the most memorable aspects of the film up to this point.
Things aren't very interesting until Jeff Goldblum comes into the picture, who is just as quirky and weird as you're expecting him to be. However his awkward charm wears thin rather quickly since his admiration for Nick is overwhelming, he blabbers uncontrollably, and his clouded judgement about life in general is rather naive. Meg and Nick spend entirely too much time bonding with other people instead of trying to work on their flat lining relationship.
The peak of the film's enjoyment comes at Morgan's (Goldblum) dinner party where Nick makes this astoundingly morbid and depressing speech that is truthfully bewildering. The last ten minutes or so that follow are also fairly enjoyable, but by then the damage has already been done.
"Le Week-End" is obviously aiming for authenticity between two people who have known each other for a very long time, but the end result is more like 90-minutes full of two hoary geese honking and complaining at each other that is practically excruciating to endure. Despite a moment of greatness in its final moments, "Le Week-End" is neither comedic nor dramatic and is mostly a test of one's patience with hardly any enjoyment whatsoever.

A Literary Look at Celebrity, Guest Starring Alec Baldwin
Lewis H. Lapham, editor-in-chief of Lapham's Quarterly, believes that celebrity, while an old story, has become the most precious commodity in today's world. Or so he told the audience at Joe's Pub Thursday night.
To commemorate the Winter 2011 launch of the Quarterly's newest issue, "Celebrity," Lapham, who turned 76 earlier this month, joined Public Theater's Artistic Director Oskar Eustis, Alec Baldwin and a particularly rotund Philip Seymour Hoffman for conversation and reading.
From political celebrities like Sarah Palin, who is trapped in the role that both she and the public have cast her in, according to Lapham, to President Obama, whom the editor believed was elevated to messiah status during his campaign trail, all shapes, sizes and interpretations of celebrity were grounds for debate.
Everyday most people living in America are exposed to 12,000 images, from television news broadcasts to magazines to Internet browsing, Lapham pointed out. Which is why it was nothing short of natural selection to include a selection from Andy Warhol's "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol" in this volume. The piece, read didactically by Alec Baldwin, chronicles Warhol's thoughts on aura, specifically his, and the time when a company wanted to purchase it.
In a simple black suit, Baldwin walked onstage, sat down and began reading a short selection from the diary of John Adams on "Making a Reputation." "Shall I take one bold determined leap into the midst of fame, cash and business?" Baldwin read, smiling as he paused to let the audience laugh.
"Alec and Philip are trying to do their part, taking part in a celebrity social organization, Lapham's, to bring greater cultural dialogue to New York," Eustis said after the event.
From Adams to Warhol, Baldwin didn't skip a beat. Neither did Eustis, when he introduced Hoffman, who read "Fall From Grace" from "The Thousand and One Nights."
Celebrities from the stage and television, including Mandy Patinkin and Boardwalk Empire's Michael Stuhlbarg, also performed various selections, including a scene from Billy Wilder's 1950 film "Sunset Blvd."
"There is a cognitive dissonance with respect to celebrity," Lapham explained. "I wanted to take voices from all parts in time, from the dark side and the paparazzi side and create a framework. Tonight we celebrate."

What does Rowan Williams's resignation mean for American Anglicans?
By Daniel Schultz
This article was updated on 4/23/12
Word reached us lately that the eyebrows of the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, had decided to step down at the age of 61, apparently taking the attached primate with them into an early retirement, or at least a return to the academic life as Master of Magdalene College. Perhaps not coincidentally, a little while later it came out that the Church of England was set to reject the Anglican Covenant, Williams' pet project to bind together the far-flung theologies of the Anglican Communion in some way or another. Nobody was ever quite sure how. In any case, a defeat like this must have been hard to bear, even for Williams' ordinarily indefatigable—not to mention gravity-defying—eyebrows. Little wonder he (and they) decided to light out for
Oxford (update: Cambridge, per the comments) while the getting was good.
What does Williams' departure and the arrival of his successor mean for the average Christian in the United States? As with so much in the world of the church, the answer is: it depends.
At the moment, the bookmakers favor John Sentamu, the Ugandan-born Archbishop of York, to replace Williams. But it's not by much: Sentamu averages about a 50-50 shot from the houses willing to accept a wager on his ascension. That seems like a good way to describe Sentamu's candidacy, actually. He has pluses and minuses. On the upside, he has a compelling personal narrative—Sentamu was a judge in Uganda, and narrowly missed being executed by Idi Amin—and he would be the first black Archbishop, making his selection historic. On the other hand, he has come out against marriage equality firmly and repeatedly, which may put him at odds with David Cameron, the British Prime Minister who must submit a list of candidates for Queen Elizabeth's approval, and who faces pressure from British society to move its marriage laws in the same direction as other western European nations.
Sentamu is prominently identified with the evangelical camp in the divided communion, which limits his ability to play the role of peacemaker. He is also identified with the conservative movement in England, an enthusiastic contributor to Rupert Murdoch's Sun on Sunday. He is a very enthusiastic contributor. Again, perhaps not coincidentally, Sentamu is well known as a self-promoter, a bishop on the move, which may limit his attractiveness as a candidate.
It's not entirely unjustified to think that Sentamu would be bad news for the Episcopal Church in the USA, which is facing its own divisions over the inclusion of gays and lesbians. Sentamu took to the floor of an ECUSA meeting in 2006 to accuse the American church of breaking friendship with the wider communion by electing the openly gay Gene Robinson bishop of New Hampshire, and demanded that the Episcopalians acknowledge that it was "inherently wrong to ordain a gay man as bishop." That pleased American conservatives, some of whom have left the ECUSA to affiliate with more conservative churches in Uganda, among other places. But Sentamu has also been a vocal opponent of the "kill the gays" bill in his home country.
And it's not clear what Sentamu could do to hurt the American church. The ECUSA is already autonomous for all practical purposes. At the most, a hostile Archbishop could freeze the Americans (or the Canadians, who have also pushed to extend the welcome of gays and lesbians in the church) out of Communion events and impede their ability to work with global church partners. That's painful, but basically symbolic. In all likelihood, a Sentamu primacy would be something of a wash for the North American churches: frosty, sometimes hostile, but realistically irrelevant.
If the nominee is not Sentamu, then what? The names thrown about conventionally include Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London. Chartres has connections with Prince Charles, and has officiated at several ceremonies for the royal family. That might cut both ways: as Britain runs up to the Queen's Jubilee year, its leaders might nominate a potted plant for Archbishop if they thought she would like it. But if Chartres becomes identified as Charles' candidate, he might be sunk. Besides, Chartres' eyebrows are even older than Williams', and will face mandatory retirement before long. As well, Chartres has done a poor job on the question of ordained women as priests in the Church of England, another hot-button issue Parliament may want to avoid. At least he was able to pluck the Diocese of London from the mire surrounding the Occupy protests at St. Paul's cathedral.
Graham James, Bishop of Norwich, and Nicholas Baines, Bishop of Bradford, are among other names that have surfaced. James is older, but may be a reconciliative caretaker until the next long-term primate comes along. Baines is younger, which may help (or hurt) his chances. Or it might be somebody truly out-of-the-box. Bishops from the British Commonwealth are eligible, which means that the next Archbishop could come from Canada, Africa, India, or Australia. But really at this point, things become murky. If the candidate isn't Sentamu, it could be anybody—and anybody will come as a surprise.
So again, what does any of this mean for the average churchgoer in the United States or Canada?
Not much, on one level. Despite Williams' nosebleed-high ecclesiology, most of the practical work of the church takes place on a much lower level. Williams met often and happily with Pope Benedict XVI, even as the former Cardinal Ratzinger sold him out by poaching Anglican churches hellbent on conservative orthodoxy. For Williams, that was ecumenism. For the rest of his flock, ecumenical work takes place on the level of partnerships formed between provinces, dioceses or even individual congregations.i
Many American institutions do important ministry with groups in Sudan or Recife or other places around the world. Those connections will continue largely without regard to who leads the Communion, or whether the Covenant is in place or not. The relationships may be more or less strained depending on how things play out, but they will continue. And as it came out in Gene Robinson's journey to the bishopric, there's not much of anything the Communion can do to change the behavior of a determined church.
The meaning of Williams' departure, then, will largely depend on how important you think it is for Christianity to be a coherent movement. Williams' great work—and great failure—was to try to get the Anglican communion to coalesce around a single vision of what it meant to be a church.
Whether this project flopped because of Williams' poor leadership, or because it was an impossible task to begin with, will surely be the source of debate for a long time to come. Critics charge that Williams was too fond of the kind of clerical authoritarianism espoused by the current Pope. Others say he misunderstood the work of trying to forge unity in the midst of modern diversity. He certainly was happy to throw some parts of the church—including his good friend Jeffrey John—to the wolves if that's what it took to maintain unity. But the Archbishop of Canterbury has always been a weak position in modern times, depending on voluntary assent and moral suasion, rather than the ability to impose policy by fiat. With thirty-eight provinces and six extra-provincial churches, each working in a radically different context and each with its own relationships between and outside the group, it's amazing that they can agree on what to have for dinner when they all come together, let alone social, economic, or theological policy.
And that's just the primates. Within each province, there are dioceses with bishops who are more or less independent-minded, depending on their bent and their political commitments, and within the dioceses, there are parishes, and at the most granular level, there are 80 million adherents of this thing called the Anglican Communion, and their eyebrows too. Historically, what's kept all these people together has been their common worship style, and The Book of Common Prayer…and that's about it. They haven't even been able to agree on who heads the church in hundreds of years.
Which may be as it should, or not. The Christian church—not the institution, but the body of people that has continued over time—has been fighting it out about diversity and unity since the very beginning. As Giles Fraser points out, the very word pontifex, used to describe the pope and other summary leaders of churches, means "bridge-builder," as in someone who could connect divided parts of the community. And the very first Archbishop of Canterbury was sent from Rome with the mission of bringing the intractable English church back into the Catholic fold. He muffed the job.
If you believe, as most Americans do, that the upper reaches of the church don't have much to do with the ground floor, the next Archbishop of Canterbury will have mostly trivial interest to you. Perhaps it will be John Sentamu, and the ECUSA is in for the deep-freeze. Perhaps it will be a conciliator or a caretaker. Perhaps it will be someone with an even more lush and vigorous patch of Muppet fur insulating his brows from the slings and arrows of church leadership. Who's to say? But Easter will come, just as it did this year. There will be babies to baptize, teens to confirm, crappy church coffee to be drunk (maybe good sherry if you're in the right congregation), and ministry to be done, regardless of who fills Williams' seat.
But if you believe, as many Americans do, that it is of the utmost importance to speak with one voice on women in ministry, or the place of gays and lesbians in the church—if you believe that without a common creed and ethics and way of reading scripture, there's no point in calling it a "church"—well then, you're in for a very interesting six months or so. It's unlikely that you'll get a champion of orthodoxy like Benedict, and probably not such a fierce champion of unity-at-all-costs as Williams. You may have to face the same uncomfortable ideas that the rest of us are confronted with: that there is no single voice for Christianity, that Christ's prayer "that they may all be one" is and always has been a fond wish and ardent desire but never a fact on the ground, that Christianity as a world movement has not produced a standard culture but has shaped and been shaped by many different cultures in many different ways, to the detriment of its coherence. But at this point, who the hell knows? You may find somebody who can bring it all back together, or (more likely), you may find another weak leader committed to togetherness in principle but unable to do much about it in practice. Either way, good luck, and definitely let us know if you find somebody with bigger eyebrows than Rowan Williams. We'll want to be warned about that right away.
i For Americans used to denominationalism, it's helpful to understand that the Anglican Communion is made up for the most part of autocephalous churches (provinces) divided by geography. For Anglicans, when these parts work together, it's ecumenical in the same way that joint contacts or missions between, say, the Russian and Greek Orthodox churches is.
Daniel Schultz, a.k.a. pastordan, is a minister in the United Church of Christ. He serves a small and very patient church in rural Wisconsin. He is the author of Changing the Script: An Authentically Faithful and Authentically Progressive Political Theology for the 21st Century (Ig Press, 2010).

Written by Markus Robinson, Edited by Nicole I. Ashland
Markus Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
Rated R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language, drug material, teen drinking and some violence
Now playing at Century 20 Oakridge Mall in San Jose, California:
With a premise surrounding the reoccurring, self-aware joke, "do the same thing as last time and people will be happy", "22 Jump Street" takes the attractive yet dumb cop (Channing Tatum) and comically weird looking but smart cop (Jonah Hill) and moves them from 21 Jump St. across the street to 22 Jump St.; a new building which is acknowledged (in a very tongue-in-cheek manner) as having a much more expensive look for absolutely no reason. This time their assignment takes them undercover, masquerading as college students, in order to discover the distributor of a new synthetic drug. Basically and purposefully the same premise as the last movie (only this time in college). Sounds hilarious, right?
With expectations high, partly because of the creative minds behind it (directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) partly because of the early critical response (some calling it, "The funniest sequel ever") and partly because 2012's "21 Jump Street" was a box-office success, I admittedly went into my screening ready to laugh. And though the chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum still worked, the satirical nature throughout was still pretty smart and well written (as the film pokes fun at big-budget Hollywood sequels, the college experience and split screens) and Ice Cube is given more to do (which is always good) there are a few glaring problems which caused this comedy to be far more flawed than it should have been:
1. Most of the funny parts are in trailers. Even though this is the fault of the marketing team and not the film itself, nobody enjoys paying exorbitant ticket prices to sit through a movie containing jokes they could see for free on TV.
2. It's not as funny as "21 Jump Street". In the case of movies that are either sequels or hold strong resemblances to other (usually more infamous) films, I try my hardest not to let comparisons influence my final rating. It is my intent to review each film on its own individual merits. But here's the thing: In the case of "22 Jump Street", the filmmakers have purposefully designed the jokes in such a way as to almost demand that audiences compare this movie to its predecessor as often as possible. It is in this rare case that my rating must reflect as such. Therefore, "22 Jump Street", while funny at times, wasn't nearly funny enough to meet (let alone, exceed) expectations set by "21 Jump Street".
Side Note: And I didn't even mention the unfortunate Maya Angelou and Tracy Morgan jokes, which instantly silenced a crowd that was intent on laughing over every other punch-line.
Final Thought: Yes, directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Change of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street) deserve the title as two of the hottest comedy directors working, but this is a bit of a misstep in their assent to the top of the genre, simple because it isn't as funny or clever as what we've come to expect from the duo. Luckily, Jonah Hill does save the day more than a few times, as his performance may be the only true standout of this entire film (which is hardly a surprise). He seemed to lead by example, taking firm control of nearly every funny bit with his unique style of physical, self-deprecating and quick witted comedy. Plus, unlike Kevin Hart, Hill can play the same comedic character over and over again and it has yet to become played out or obnoxious. So…there's that.

The Seekers were more of a religious society rather than an organized religious sect per se. The Seekers developed in the late 1620's. They rejected all forms of official religion and rituals. When all forms of religion are being questions, no religion was less stressful was a commonly held view.
The early roots of the English Seekers may be traced to the family Legatt: Walter, Thomas, and Bartholomew Legate, all brothers, and early Separatists preachers. They were active in and around the London area ca. 1590's to 1612.
They preached on the corruption of all the established Churches, and the need to establish a new true Church with a new group of Apostles to oversee it. The Legatt would considered themselves as the appointed Apostles of God's new uncorrupted Church. This was not an commonly held belief for the Second Coming by many of the period. The Legates were charged with holding Antinomian and Anabaptists beliefs by their critics.
Sometimes called the Legatine-Arians, the Legate's did not prosper long. Walter drowned; Thomas died while being held for heresy in Newgate Prison. The brother
Information on the early Seekers views, and organization between 1612 and 1640 is still rather vague. Seekers as a sect tended to remain in the background and maintained a low profile in society. We are aware of some Seekers centers being established. From an organizational point of view, the Seekers may have existed as small local assemblies in a loose association across the county, or by regions. The Quakers after 1660 may have adopted some aspects of the earlier Seeker organizational structure, and religious views
The Seekers not unlike some Seperatists, saw the Roman Church as having corrupted itself and all other churches in the process, i.e., the Church of England. Since all churches were corrupt, only a new "true" Church established by Christ and His new Apostles could possess His grace and perform true miracles.
In anticipation of this seminal event of the Spirit of Christ being received, the Seekers would hold meetings rather than elaborate religious services. Members would wait in silence in a quite setting, or structure for the Lord to come and reveal Himself to them. For this reason, they have often been referred to as "Waiters".
Seekers respected all religions, but accepts none as authoritative. This did not keep the Seekers from expressing their own view and opinions in writing on other theological views of other religious sects of the period. Seekers embraced a broad spectrum of ideas and positions. Seekers were also concerned about the status on Man in society, especially the poor, the sick, the children, and the hungry in society. Seekers envisioned a more christian and humanitarian values in society.
Individuals such as
Erbery graduated from Brasenose College (Oxford) getting a B.A. in 1623. He was ordained and served in Cardiff, Wales. He served as an Army chaplain during the Civil War. By the late 1640's, Erbury was being criticized for his religious positions. By the mid-1640's, he was busy out preaching across the country with some Socinians leanings with anti-clerical views, and questions of the King and Parliament positions. Erbury sought peace in society, temporal reforms, and waiting for the Spirit and the second coming of Christ. He may have had some connections with the early Quakers.
Seekers anticipated many of the later views of Quakerism and other sects. The Quakers would seem to have embraced many of the Seekers tenets. Large numbers of Seekers were converted to Quakerism. Seekers groups paid their respects at the funeral of George Fox (1624-1691). English Seekers continued into the 18th Century.

Why: When I first started working in downtown Vancouver, I was excited by all the lunch options within walking distance of the office. It doesn't take long, however, for the lower-priced restaurants to start seeming stale and for the cost of the others to add up. Sandwich Box is a new addition to the affordable downtown lunch scene.
Atmosphere: Despite a light remodel, people who visited this spot when it was operated by Quiznos will find a familiar setting. The restaurant is long and narrow, with tables near the window and a counter displaying chips and soft drinks. With no "order here" or "pick up here" signs, I was momentarily unsure where to go, but I headed for the cash register and was soon able to place my order.
What I tried: I ordered the Grilled 3 Cheese sandwich on sourdough bread and my dining companion ordered the Tuna Melt with provolone cheese on wheat bread. Unfortunately, my sandwich was delivered on wheat and his on sourdough — a minor mix-up for us, as we like both options, but certainly unfortunate. Because we ordered takeout, we didn't notice the mix-up until we'd left the restaurant, so we did not bother to re-order.
Both sandwiches are under "The Classics" category on the menu, and the Tuna Melt was definitely a classic take on a familiar sandwich. Tuna salad offered the strongest flavor, followed by the cheese, with a very mild taste to the sourdough bread. This is not gourmet, nouveau or Portland-fancy food — just a basic Tuna Melt, like you'd expect to find in any of thousands of diners across the country. It hit the spot.
The Grilled 3 Cheese sandwich is painted with a garlic herb basting blend before it's cooked, which imparts a subtle garlicky flavor. The provolone, Swiss and cheddar cheeses mingle well together. Cumulatively they add up to more cheese than I needed, though they were tasty and filling.
Both sandwiches are made on standard-size sliced bread. That was enough for my companion and me, but people accustomed to extra-large restaurant servings might find themselves wanting more.
Highlights beyond what I tried: In addition to other classics (such as the French Dip and Philly Cheesesteak), the Sandwich Box offers paninis, Italian hoagies, veggie burgers, hamburgers, sliders, wraps and salads. Or build your own whole or half sandwich on a hoagie, wrap, bagel, croissant or choice of breads.
Other observations: This restaurant is still fairly new, and until it builds up a following it's keeping staffing to a minimum. That means that service is a bit on the slow side for fast food. I got my sandwiches 13 minutes after walking in the door — that includes a five-minute wait to place my order, while the only person on duty finished preparing an earlier order. If you're in a hurry, you may want to call your order in.
Cost: Sandwiches start as low as $3.49, and the most expensive thing on the menu is the Chicken Fiesta Salad at $9.99 (a half salad can be had for $4.95). A box lunch, which includes a sandwich, chips, bottled water, fruit and a cookie, is $10.95. Kids meals are $3.99.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Telephone: 360-433-9324.
Where: 545 W. Eighth St., Vancouver.
Health score: Sandwich Box received a perfect score of zero when it was inspected on Nov. 30. Clark County Public Health closes restaurants that score 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

On Monday, January 27, 2014, the Florida Supreme Court decided to allow an initiative to legalize marijuana use for medical purposes to advance to Florida voters this November in the general election. The initiative was being challenged by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on October 24, 2013 as she claimed the language to be put on the ballot for voters was misleading. The court saw otherwise and voters will now be able to vote on the use of marijuana for certain medical conditions.
The language of what voters will see on the ballot reads:
"Allows the medical use of marijuana for individuals with debilitating diseases as determined by a licensed Florida physician.
Allows caregivers to assist patients' medical use of marijuana. The Department of Health shall register and regulate centers that produce and distribute marijuana for medical purposes and shall issue identification cards to patients and caregivers. Applies only to Florida law. Does not authorize violations of federal law or any non-medical use, possession or production of marijuana."
Candidates to be Florida's next Governor are mixed on the issue. Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie stating on his website, "Medical marijuana is becoming acceptable among people across party lines. It's a natural choice for pain relief." Rick Scott has not commented, however with his signing last year the criminalization of selling a marijuana pipe, it is not hard to see where his head it at on the issue. Charlie Crist has flip-flopped on the issue stating he was strongly against legalization in 2012 until a poll came out last year showing over 75% of Floridians were for it, now he's for medical marijuana legalization.
As for candidates running for the Florida Attorney General position, they are just as mixed. Libertarian Bill Wohlsifer wrote the first medical marijuana legalization bill last year which was introduced, however it did not make it through the Republican-controlled legislature. He says, "The time has come to make a distinction between the medical and non-medical use of cannabis and to protect patients who have qualifying medical conditions, as well as their physicians, and their caregivers from arrest, criminal prosecution, property forfeiture, and other penalties if such a patient engages in the medical use of cannabis." His opponent, Republican Pam Bondi, the current Florida Attorney General, is obviously opposed to the measure as she was the one to file the petition to have the issue taken away from Florida voters in fear they will pass the new amendment. She, along with Democrat Dave Aronberg, also has aggressively prosecuted those using too much in the way of prescription drugs denying those in need of their pain medication, so if she is re-elected, it would not be a far reach to believe she would do the same with medical cannabis. Democrat George Sheldon stated, "By legalizing a medicinal cannabis alternative, we provide these patients with an option that is less harmful, less expensive, and less subject to widespread abuse." Democrat Perry Thurston stated, ""The prescription of medical cannabis should be a matter decided between doctors and patients. The extreme efforts by Republican legislative leaders like Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and others to block voters from deciding this matter has been inappropriate."
Although the Florida Department of Health has not weighed in on the issue, it is expected that if medical marijuana passed in Florida this November, Floridians will be able to posses between 1-2 ounces of marijuana without fearing arrest. The measure is high in state regulation and could be a big boost for Florida's agricultural industry which has taken some hits in the last few years. Patients with AIDS, cancer, ALS, HIV, Parkinson's disease and a long list of other medical conditions would be able to receive medical cannabis treatment should the measure pass. Committees in Tallahassee have already been meeting to figure out how to deal with the amendment as it is expected to pass in November.
The effort to legalize marijuana has been going on for a number of years by Libertarians, Democrats and some Republicans. Organizations such as the Florida Cannabis Action Network, The Silver Tour, United for Care, Marijuana Policy Project and a long list of other activists.

The ACT Heritage Unit called for expressions of interest from artists to creatively interpret two heritage-listed places, the Ginninderra Blacksmith's Workshop in Gold Creek and The Valley Ruin in Palmerston. The artists were required to base their work on rigorous research and engage with community as part of the 2012 Heritage Festival. Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre congratulates Accredited Professional Member Annie Trevillian who was successful in her submission. Annie's work, Remnants: the layering of time, memory and place in a landscape encompassing family and community, will be on display at The Valley Ruin, Gungahlin Drive, Gungahlin (beside Burgmann Anglican School) between 8.00am to 4.00pm on Saturday 28 April. Janice Kuczowski's work engages with the Ginninderra Blacksmith's Workshop and a video presentation of Canberrans bringing to life the characters from the Workshop in an ephemeral interpretation of history, identity and place will be screened at the Workshop at 5.00pm on Saturday 28 April.
We also congratulate artists Antonia Aitken, Christine Atkins, Marily Cintra and Marian Hosking selected for the Centre's Talking water: artists-in-residence program. These residencies are offered in historic locations within Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and Namadgi National Park. You can visit Antonia Aitken at Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage this Saturday 28 April between 10.00am to 12.00noon. Hear directly from her about the project and view the works in progress.
The Gudgenby Ready-Cut Cottage is an early example of a ready-cut or prefabricated Hudson's kit home purchased and constructed by its original owner A W Bootes in the Gudgenby Valley in 1927. Talking water builds on two previous projects bringing together the environment, heritage and the arts. The significance of these projects is the way people of different ideas and cultures come together and change through expression and exchange. Audiences are delighted through their passion and love for the environment, our heritage and expression through craft, design and the visual arts.

City to Calorie Labeling: Drop Dead
What would happen to eating habits if you took an entire city and made all the chain restaurants post calorie counts for every item on the menu?
How about: Nothing.
Or worse: People would consume slightly more calories.
That's what may have happened here in New York, where Mayor Bloomberg's health junta instituted the calorie labeling scheme last July. The idea is that more health information will nudge people to make healthier choices. If you see how unhealthy that Big Mac is, if you're hit in the face with the huge calorie count, maybe you don't buy it.
In principle, I'm open to relatively non-intrusive ideas like this — giving consumers more information — if the result is significant gains in terms of public health. As a libertarian, the intrusion bugs me. As a taxpayer, I'd like to see health-care costs brought down. But if the equation changes — if a nudge like this doesn't work, or even backfires — then I'm more than a bit troubled.
So, what's happened in New York? I don't think it would be fair to say we have the whole picture yet. But the first major study on the effects of the labeling program is out… and the results don't look good.
Researchers from NYU and Yale looked at patrons of four fast food chains (McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, and Kentucky Fried Chicken) in poor neighborhoods in New York City (which instituted labeling) and Newark (which didn't institute labeling). They looked at receipts before and after labeling was instituted in New York and interviewed diners. The result? The bottom line was that there was no significant change in the number of calories reflected on people's receipts after labeling was instituted — in fact, calorie consumption went up a little in New York.
Only about half of diners reported seeing the calorie counts. A little more than a quarter of those people said the counts affected their behavior. Of those people who said the counts affected their behavior, 9 out of 10 said it made them consume fewer calories.
The kicker, though: Even among the people who said they saw the labels, that the labels affected their choices, and that the labels made them purchase fewer calories, the receipts didn't actually bear out any significant changes in calorie consumption. (The lesson, as usual: Self-reporting is pretty useless; we have zero self-awareness as a species.)
So, What Does It All Mean?
First off, the study has a few limitations:
1) It was conducted rather early in the program. Perhaps people will adjust slowly to the new labeling.
2) It was conducted at fast food restaurants. Meaning: It doesn't deal with the question of whether the labeling is sending people to other restaurants, where the calorie counts aren't posted. And, if it is, are they making better or worse food choices at these new establishments?
3) It dealt with the poor and minorities. Perhaps the labeling is working super-awesomely for rich white folks. (Of course, it's not rich white folks who have an obesity problem, generally speaking.)
The most serious question is whether this backfire effect is real and significant or a statistical blip. Jonah Lehrer theorizes that maybe people, being naturally drawn to more calories, are actually using the calorie data to subconsciously seek out even more caloric food than they'd usually eat. If this is the case, and it proves to be robust over a number of studies, I think there would be a very serious case for repealing these calorie-posting regulations.
But can you actually see the Bloomberg administration doing that? One side effect of nannystatism is that meddling is as addictive as delicious cheese-filled calories. And admitting you were wrong is as repugnant as the idea of getting a salad instead of McNuggets.

- Rates: Starting at $200-$300/night
- Official Site: Palms.com
- Telephone & Address: 1-866-725-6773; West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas
- Location: Nevada
The Palms is a place where locals and in-the-know Vegas veterans unwind. The resort is just off of the strip and removed from the mega tourism that the city attracts, which means there are no caged lions, volcanoes or yard-long margaritas. What this Maloof casino does offer is an intoxicating experience revolving around the idea that calculated excess is a virtue. The pool area is set up like a swanky lounge with plenty of cabanas and bars in practically every direction -- there's even one hidden beneath a waterfall. For gourmet dining, Alize has great steak and seafood, complete with skyline views from the peak of the hotel. For late-night entertainment, there's consistently solid venues like Ghost Bar and Moon. The only real setback is the smoky and somewhat old school gaming area that could use a renovation. The resort is also home to the boutique Palms Place, a series of more luxurious suites for the vacationer with deep pockets.
The guests at Palms -- from the out-of-towners to the celebs who frequent the joint -- are always looking for a good time. Everybody is ready to party and mingle with the other guests, regardless of the position of the sun in the sky. Imagine The Real World: Las Vegas with less drama and classier women. Ghost Bar and Moon are two of the most in-demand clubs in the area and boast outdoor patios with killer views at 55 stories above the lobby. The main club in the vicinity, Rain, resembles a futuristic battle arena with water dripping from the walls, and fireballs literally shooting from chrome pipes above the dance floor. There's also the Playboy Club, a high-stakes gaming room where the dealers double as playmates. With a $50 minimum bet, just be sure to pay attention to your cards. You have the option of booking the 3,000-square-foot "Real World Suite," where the reality show was filmed in 2002, but it will set you back $5,000 a night.
For all the glitz, glam and hype that is Palms, you might expect the rooms to be an extension of this adrenaline rush, but this is simply not the case. The basic rooms are nothing like the elaborate suites detailed in so many MTV and VH1 reality shows. They feature a normal bathtub without the separate, stand-alone shower that has become the norm in most suites. A lone sink is surrounded by bland tiling and mutely toned walls. The quarters are not tiny, but they easily become crammed when occupied by more then one person.

Quintette du Hot Club de France: Hot Lips
Hot Lips
Quintette du Hot Club de France
The Complete Django Reinhardt & Quintet Of The Hot Club Of France Swing/HMV Sessions (Mosaic 190)
Stéphane Grappelli (violin), Django Reinhardt (guitar), Pierre 'Baro' Ferret (guitar), Marcel Bianchi (guitar), Louis Vola (bass).
Composed by Henry Busse, Henry Lange & Lou Davis.
Recorded: Paris, April 22, 1937
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
"Hot Lips" must have seemed a strange choice for the QHCF. Although the song was only 15 years old at the time, it was certainly dated as a remnant of 1920s hot-cha. After a plethora of recordings in the twenties, the song went unrecorded by jazz artists for nearly five years. Significantly, the two recordings from 1935 and 1936 were made in London, and perhaps Grappelli or Reinhardt heard one of those versions and decided to try it with the QHCF. At any rate, this is a very pleasant medium-tempo version of the song. Grappelli starts off the proceedings with a fairly straight reading of the melody over the trademark chunk, chunk-a-chunk rhythm of the guitars. Django's solo is marked by a long section in parallel sixths. Usually, Django avoided using the same sound for several bars, but here, there is a mild amount of experimenting going on, first to see how long he could maintain interest with the same voicing, and second, to see if a slight change would break up the monotony. As he finishes an eight-bar phrase, he fills in the note between the open sixth creating a chord voicing straight out of Alvino Rey! In fact, the figure he plays involves moving the voicing between chords a half-step apart, which is an easy effect to play on a slide guitar. The effect is a little corny and Reinhart didn't use it much, but for an old obscure song, it worked well enough.

We'll tire (no pun intended) of our bike infatuation soon enough, then the blog will be relatively wheel free. But, as we're still firmly in the honeymoon period, I had to share.
These Knog Beetle lights are super-cute yet stylish, which is why I categorized them in 'design'. They're certainly in-brand for O&L and look right at home on our Linus bikes.
Not hugely powerful, but perfect for the semi-urban routes we'll be traveling. And they'll come in handy, as dark descends earlier here than we're used to. Happy weekend all!

A raw diet for a cat closely resembles what a feline in the wild would eat. Their physiology is unsurprisingly in step with such a diet. .Cats get a diverse diet in the wild, including brains, organs, and sporadically, stomach and intestine contents. They consume fish, mice, small mammals, insects and snakes.
Nonetheless, for a variety of reasons most cat caregivers do not have the wherewithal, nor the time to offer live prey to their much-loved cats; others may feel ill at ease at doing so Enter the raw food diet, which most strongly approximates the diet of felines in the wild.
Just before the middle of the 20th century, Dr. Francis M. Pottenger, Jr., going by the experiments of Weston Price in his handlings of respiratory disease, carried out a study on the effects of heat-processed foods on cats. His study was driven by the poor health of cats he was using for adrenal studies; felines who were fed cooked meat scraps. As neighbors to his clinic in Monrovia, CA, kept donating cats for his study, his supply of cooked meat diminished, and he found a source for raw meat scraps from a neighboring meat packing plant. Dr. Pottenger noticed within a few months that the cats receiving the raw meat scraps were in markedly better health; thus his feeding study was born.
The controlled feeding experiment took place over ten years, between 1932 and 1942, and over 900 cats were ultimately included. The optimum diet consisted of 1/3 raw milk, cod liver oil, and 2/3 raw meat, with one group receiving cooked food instead of raw. The results were astonishing. Within a few generations, the cats receiving cooked food exhibited: facial deformities: crowded jaws, narrowed faces, frail bones and weakened ligaments, a surplus of parasites, and all manners of disease. Female cats became more aggressive while males became more passive. After three generations, pregnancy failed.
Kittens born of these pregnancies repeatedly did not survive to adulthood and had skeletal deformities and organ malfunctions

Over at Chase the Star, Barbara has been working on updating her kitchen and dining area with lighter, brighter colors. These barstools had already been through a lot when they arrived at her house (check out that scary before picture), so this was their second rescue under Barbara's capable hands.
For makeover #2, Barbara had to decide what she did and didn't love about these stools. The simple lines? Perfect. The Union Jack motif on the seats? Still a favorite. The dark red legs? Those had to go, since they didn't fit in with the sunwashed, light colors Barbara is using now. Instead, she covered the read with two coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Cream", which meant she didn't even have to sand or prime over that red! It was a quick and easy rescue that will keep these bar stools functioning beautifully for many more years.
