I had just gotten Ivy to sleep and the boys woke her up from how loud they were yelling and screaming OUTSIDE.
Scooping her up from my bed, I stormed down the stairs and gave her to Daddy so that I could run back upstairs with a mean mom face to punish the boys with an early bedtime.
All that time spent getting her to sleep, wasted. And when I was done it wasn't like I had time for myself or something fun to do. Nooo. I had a kitchen to clean up and things to put away and the garbage was full and so I let cabinets slam shut and moved about all loudly.
I took so many deep breaths I almost passed out.
Hurrying to get another load of laundry going before Ivy needed me again, my swift motions knocked down a lamp in the doorway and its glass shade broke in a bunch of pieces on the cold basement floor. I got angry about that- now I had to clean THAT up and it wasn't even something I broke on purpose or could have the joy of breaking.
I only had the joy of using my broom for the fiftieth time that day.
I heard the back door close and thought who is out of bed?! I rushed to find out it was just hubby, taking Ivy outside while he practiced his golf swing. He called to me and I huffily responded, What?
He pointed into the yard, where a large mother bunny sat atop the nest that's been there a couple weeks now. She went about her business, cleaning herself, tending to the babies, not minding at all that we were just feet away from her. So we sat and we watched her.
I had heard that the mother bunny secretly keeps an eye on her nest when we're around, but we won't see her. Maybe she knew we were safe. Maybe she saw me keeping the kids from poking lightsabers at the hole. Maybe she saw me checking every morning for fur on the nest, a sign the she had come in the night.
We sat and let the baby crawl and throw golf balls around and we watched the rabbit lay over the nest... I assume she was nursing the babies underneath. She let us observe her so long that soon it was too chilly to stay outside. I still had dishes to wash by hand and four hundred baskets of clothes to fold and put away but I was no longer angry.
We left her to be alone with her family. And went inside to ours.

Slapped in the Face by the Invisible Hand: Banking and the Panic of 2007
Gary B. Gorton
Yale School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
May 9, 2009
The 'shadow banking system' at the heart of the current credit crisis is, in fact, a real banking system – and is vulnerable to a banking panic. Indeed, the events starting in August 2007 are a banking panic. A banking panic is a systemic event because the banking system cannot honor its obligations and is insolvent. Unlike the historical banking panics of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the current banking panic is a wholesale panic, not a retail panic. In the earlier episodes, depositors ran to their banks and demanded cash in exchange for their checking accounts. Unable to meet those demands, the banking system became insolvent. The current panic involved financial firms 'running' on other financial firms by not renewing sale and repurchase agreements (repo) or increasing the repo margin ('haircut'), forcing massive deleveraging, and resulting in the banking system being insolvent. The earlier episodes have many features in common with the current crisis, and examination of history can help understand the current situation and guide thoughts about reform of bank regulation. New regulation can facilitate the functioning of the shadow banking system, making it less vulnerable to panic.

It's always quite painful for us game journos to see poor games riding high in the charts. At times we understand why these games sell well, but we're not happy about it. Seeing as MCV recently revealed the top 50 selling games of 2007 in the UK, we picked out the 10 that didn't deserve it. Read on for VideoGamer.com's Top 10: Games undeserving of their success.
10. Cooking Mama, (No. 12) 505 Games
We're not against cooking games, we're just against cooking games that are borderline broken. Cooking Mama asks you to prepare and cook dish after dish, yet teaches you nothing and isn't fun to play. To make it worse, members of the team have been known to wake during the night in a cold sweat after having nightmares about Mama's evil eyes. We can see why it sold so many copies (it's a kind of non-game with game elements) but games which offered so much more sold far less.
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, (No. 27) Disney Interactive Studios
This movie tie-in from Disney deceived so many on its release. A passer by could easily have thought that At World's end was in fact one of the best movie licensed releases of all time. It looked gorgeous and fairly faithfully followed the storyline of the second and third Pirates movies. The problem was that the game became dull and tiresome after about one level: the combat was weak, the enemy AI was shocking and there were far too many items to collect. We felt like walking off the plank.

So this trilogy is not manga but it a good little serires. The lot revoulves around teenagers who kill demons and bad vampires, warlocks, wearewolves, and fair folk. The teenagers and of course their parents are called Shadowhunters or Nephilim (Yes the supposed offspring of human and angles). one such shadowhunter has gone bad and threatens to unlease a demon army on the shadowhunters and the teenagers the story centers around are entangled in the center of everything. So i was wondering if anyone has read this trilogy and what you think about it. i personally think its great, the best i've read in a while but i like fantacy scifoi stufff. the author of twilight gave it a good review as well. All three books are definately worth reading.
Not yet at least. sound pretty good and ill have to look into it. Thanx for the heads up."Im concerned with the structure. Those who control my life and those who want to control it even more. I want freedom, thats what I want and thats what you should want!!!"
Sounds cool I'lll see if there's a copy in the bookstore Hunters Erase Any Demonic Presence Haunting Old Native Execution Sites

There is suppose to be a movie coming out next year of the mortal instruments, it might be good. There is also a forth book coming out in april or mnay that should be good. The authors other seires about shadowhunters is pretty good too.
"The wound lies deep, like the ocean floor. The sin is red, growing paler in death."

The Signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
Signs of Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming
The Signs from the Islamic Resources 3
24. The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Talks
There will be a peace agreement in Bayt al-Maqdis. (Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, vol. 3, p. 184)
Bayt al-Maqdis is the name of Masjid al-Aqsa. This hadith may well indicate that an agreement will be reached in Jerusalem. For the last 50 years, Palestine has been consumed by fighting and tension. An important step toward bringing peace and security to this region was taken during the 1993 peace negotiations in Oslo. No matter how unjust some of the decisions were, and although some could not be fully implemented, the fact that the two sides did reach agreement on specific issues was an important development. In 2003, peace negotiations between the two sides continue, particularly with the American "Road Map" initiative.
25. An Embargo against Iraq and Damascus
"It may happen that the people of Iraq may not send their qafiz and dirhams [their measures of food-stuff and their money]." We said:" Who would be responsible for it?" He said: "The non-Arabs would prevent them." He again: "There is the possibility that the people of Syria may not send their dinar and mudd." We said: "Who would be responsible for it?" He said: "This prevention would be made by the Romans." (Sahih Muslim)
Abu Hurayra relates: "The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: 'The time will come neither a dirhams nor a qafiz will be given to Iraq. Its mudd and dinar will also not be given to Sham. Its irdab and dinar will also not be given to Egypt. You will return to the point from which you started.'" (Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud)
The embargos imposed upon Iraq and Damascus are signs of the End Times. For more than a decade, Iraq has endured embargos. Meanwhile, there exists the possibility of placing an embargo upon Syria.
26. The Restructuring of Iraq
Doomsday will not come until Iraq is attacked. Innocent people in Iraq will seek shelter in Sham. Sham will be rebuilt, and Iraq will be rebuilt. (Muntakhab Kanz al`Ummal, vol. 5, p. 254)
The hadith draws attention to the reconstruction of Iraq. Many Iraqi cities were reduced to rubble during the Iran-Iraq war, and then again during the two Gulf wars of 1991 and 2003. After this latest war, Iraq's rebuilding became compulsory because so much of it had been ruined. Looting also contributed to this situation. This appeared in newspapers, as follows:
27. Iraqis Flee to Damascus and the North
The innocent and clean people of Iraq will flee to Sham. (Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 210)
Immediately before the outbreak of the latest Gulf war, tens of thousands of Iraqis sought to migrate to other countries, especially Syria. This bears a great similarity to the event described in the hadith. News and pictures about this attempted migration appeared in the media.
28. Fitna in Damascus
The tribulation in Sham will calm down on the one hand and flare up again on another. This corruption will not end until an angel from the sky calls: "The Mahdi is your leader. The Mahdi is your caliph." (Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 63)
The hadith indicates that there will be terrible chaos in Sham before the Mahdi appears. This refers to the chaos developing in Syria.
As we mentioned earlier, however, "Sham" means "the left" and refers to those countries to the left of the Hijaz.
During the early years of the twentieth century, civil wars, rebellions, conflict and great wars were already raging in this region. These conflicts triggered one another and had a great impact upon all of the people living there. The statement "This tribulation … will calm down on the one hand and flare up again on another" is noteworthy in this regard: Over the last fifty years, several major events occurred in this region, among them the Suez War, the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, the Lebanese civil war, and the ongoing tension in Palestine.
29. Chaos in Damascus, Iraq, and Arabia
Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: "There will be such troubles and calamities that nobody will be able to find a place of shelter. These woes will move around Sham, fall upon Iraq, and tie the hands and feet of the Arabian Peninsula. The community of Islam will fight against troubles in the steppes. Nobody will feel any sympathy for them or even say: "Alas!" As they try to remedy their woes on the one hand, they will emerge again on the other." (Muntakhab Kanz al-`Ummal, vol. 5, pp. 38-39)
The expression, "The woes will move around Sham, fall upon Iraq" may well indicate the Second Gulf war in 2003. Before and during this war, there was always the possibility of extending the war to Syria, although the war remained limited to Iraq.
30. The Division of Iraq into Three Parts
According to our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), the people of Iraq will be divided into three groups. One part will join the looters. One group will flee, leaving their families behind. And one group will fight and kill. Prepare yourselves for Doomsday when you see this. (Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar)
Another sign of the End Times is the division of the Iraqi people into three. As the hadith relates, some Iraqis will join the "looters." Indeed, at the end of the war, some Iraqis took advantage of the loss of authority and engaged in looting. In fact, some of these people stole and looted, acts that can be defined as "pillaging." The hadith informs us that some people would try so hard to escape that they would not even think about the families they would leave behind.
The hadith also tells that some people would fight and be killed. During this latest Gulf war, some Iraqis fought and died.
"The division of Iraq into three," as is related in the hadith's first part, also came true after the first Gulf War in 1991, when the country was divided into the following regions: between the 32th and 36th parallels, south of the 32th parallel, and north of the 36th parallel.
31. War in the Streets
"Between the Tigris and the Euphrates, a city will be built where the children of Abbas will reign. It is called Zawra [Baghdad]…" "O Rasul al-Akram, the leader of believers, why is it called Zawra?" "It is called Zawra because the war surrounds it, expanding to the borders." (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 426, no. 776)
You do not see for I am seeing the places of turmoil between your houses as the places of rainfall. (Sahih Muslim; Doomsday: Portents&Prophecis; p. 84)
Guerilla warfare became widespread in the twentieth century. The ensuing conflicts often take place in streets and between houses. The most recent example occurred in Baghdad in 2003. Indeed, the first hadith above relates that a war will expand to all the corners of Baghdad. The events of the latest Gulf war and the related news reported by the media confirm the news foretold in the hadiths. (God knows best.)
32. A War between Muslims and Jews
The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims fight against the Jews… (Sahih Muslim)
By the beginning of the twentieth century, conflicts between Arab Muslims and Jews were characterized by terrorism and violence. Toward the end of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire disintegrated and Palestine, until then an Ottoman Arab territory, was placed under the administration of Great Britain. Failing to bring peace to a land ravaged by violence, Great Britain finally turned the problem over to the UN in 1947. The UN proposed that Palestine be partitioned into two independent states so that the Jews could have a homeland. This was the first Jewish state in 19 centuries.
Arabs in Palestine and the surrounding countries sought to change this situation, and in 1948 a bloody war broke out between them and Israel. Israel, which proclaimed its independence that same year, then violated the UN plan by occupying a large portion of Palestine. All that was left for the Palestinians was the west part of the Jordan River (the West Bank) and some land surrounding Gaza city (the Gaza Strip).
During June 1967, Israel carried out a massive invasion. Egypt, Syria, and Jordan had been making preparations to attack Israel for months when, in a sudden counter-attack, Israel launched the war on the morning of June 5. Israel jets flew over the Mediterranean Sea for a while and then suddenly turned toward Egypt. Egypt, which had prepared for an Israeli air attack from the east instead of from the north, was caught off guard and saw the majority of its air force destroyed before the pilots could get their planes in the air. Within 5 days, the Israeli army defeated the Arab armies one after another. Within 6 days, Israel roughly tripled its size. The invaded, and now occupied lands included the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights (part of Syria), and Egypt's giant Sinai Peninsula.
Israel also occupied East Jerusalem. After the 1948 war, Jerusalem had been divided into East and West Jerusalem. West Jerusalem, the modern part of the city, and it was held by Israel; East Jerusalem, the Old City and location of many religious shrines, was held by Jordan. After the 1967 War, Israel controlled both parts of Jerusalem, and the Wailing Wall, which has become Israel's national symbol, came under Jewish control for the first time in 19 centuries.
Nasser, who strengthened his army with Soviet weapons, denied the ceasefire that ended the Six Days War in in March 1969, in order to regain the land to Egypt, which were lost in April 1968. He also initiated a months-long mild "war of attrition." Attacks on Israeli targets were finally ended by heavy Israeli artillery bombardment of and air attacks on the cities along the Suez Canal. This development caused Egypt to sign another ceasefire agreement with Israel.
During the Yom Kippur feast of 6 October 1973, Egyptian and Syrian armies launched a sudden attack against Israel. Crossing the Suez Canal, the Egyptian army entered the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula and started to cross the Bar-Lev Line, a supposed "impassable" border established after the 1967 War. Meanwhile, Syria moved forward on the Golan Heights. The Israeli army was taken completely by surprise. Soldiers attending Yom Kippur services in synagogues were sent headlong to the various fronts. Israeli radio, meanwhile, broke its traditional Yom Kippur silence and sounded the alarm.
At the expense of considerable loss of life, the Israel Defense Forces (Zahal) stopped the Arab forces on 9 October with their conventional forces. Soon, the Syrian army's progress on Golan Heights was also ended. Meanwhile Egypt, by now having a stronger army and reinforced by its strategic position, engaged in a long and bloody tank battle. According to the general opinon, Washington's rapid arms support to Israel that began on the second day of the war enabled Israel to win.
On 26 October, Israel began to drive the Arabs out of the territories that they had recently recaptured. Meanwhile, the threat of Israel being driven into sea was over. Yet this was not a victory for Israel, for in just a few days the two Arab armies had inflicted a severe toll on the nation: 2,700 dead in a small country with a population of little more than 3 million.
Following this psychological shock, the Israeli government took a step back. Israel agreed to return the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, and in 1979 Egypt and Israel signed the Camp David Peace Agreement. Yet, this agreement and all subsequent ones have failed to bring peace to the region. The conflict between the Arabs and the Israelis continues, albeit with short intervals of peace.
33. The Killing of Innocent Children
When an innocent child of the community of Muhammad is killed, an angel from the sky will cry: "God is with him [the Mahdi] and with those who are with him." (Muhammad bin Ali Sabban, Ishaf ar-Raghibin, p. 154)
One sign of the End Times is the murder of innocent children. We have seen this on a massive scale in recent years. Young African children are being forced to participate in the civil wars wracking that continent, and their merciless murders can be considered as one of these examples. Another region where children are being targeted is Palestine. Between 2002-03, more than 500 children were shot and killed by Israeli soldiers. During the latest Gulf War, Iraqi maternity hospitals were bombed and damaged, causing the deaths of many children.

LEWISTOWN - The head of The Episcopal Church, The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, joined with Bishop Nathan Baxter, of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, clergy and laity at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, in Lewistown, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Jubilee Ministry in the Episcopal Church. She met with the Jubilee officers in the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania and reviewed the varieties of ministries that have emerged. Schori affirmed the importance of their outreach ministries in very different kinds of communities. She also honored the Rt. Rev. Charlie McNutt, retired bishop of the diocese, and the Rev. Canon Peter Greenfield, who was priest at St. Mark's when former Presiding Bishop John Allin recognized the parish as the first Jubilee Center.
"What started as a spark has grown into a flame that has spread across the church," Jefferts Schori said.
St. Mark's was the first parish in the Episcopal Church to receive designation as a Jubilee Ministry Center for Outreach, under the mandate of Resolution A080 of the Church's General Convention. The convention established such centers as an effort to form a "joint discipleship in Christ with poor and oppressed people, wherever they are found, to meet basic human needs and to build a just society," concluding that this is "at the heart of the mission of the church."

"Our Jubilee Centers serve communities as small as Renovo and as large as Lancaster and Harrisburg," said Central Pennsylvania Bishop Nathan Baxter. "In every case, they ask how the people of God can serve this community." Each Jubilee Center represents a unique response to the needs of their community.
"We see these centers as deep expressions of what Jesus proclaimed," Jefferts Schori explained.
Such ministries foster ecumenical partnerships and invite creative leadership.
"Jubilee Ministry means getting out of ourselves and inviting new people into community with us," she added. "The church has been revitalized because we focus on common mission and turn away from minor differences."
Since the legislation that created Jubilee Ministry was adopted, more than 600 ministry centers have been identified. In the beginning, there were only eight affirmed by the church's executive council in June, 1983: St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Lewistown; The Episcopal Pastoral Center, Denver, Colo.; St.. Paul's Episcopal Church, Saginaw, Mich.; Urban Ministries, Durham, N.C.;Cross Episcopal Church, Miami, Fla.; St. Louis Metropolitan Ministry, St. Louis, Mo.; Ministries of Middle Tennessee/Urban and Regional Ministry, Nashville, Tenn.; Mission Training Program, Washington, D.C. Of these eight, five remain in one form or another, and they're continuing to do the work of Jubilee.
The development of Jubilee Ministry as the guiding concept of mission at St. Mark's Episcopal Church was the direct result of two significant circumstances. Hurricane Agnes, in 1972, brought massive flooding and destruction. As a consequence of the flooding, one major industry shut down its operation altogether and another was forced to dramatically reduce its work force. Many people in the area became unemployed and others had lost everything.
Under the leadership of the Rev. Canon Peter Greenfield, the parish launched a series of programs to help those in the community who were struggling. A community garden provided folks with fresh produce. Meals on Wheels set up operation in St. Mark's kitchen. Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, a community food bank, opened in the undercroft of the church. The parish initiated community work-weeks to provide labor, materials and assistance with home repairs and painting for those who could not do the work themselves.
Ecumenical relationships and partnerships were formed with other denominations to provide political, social and spiritual advocacy for individuals and organizations needing sponsorship. All of this led Bishop McNutt to urge that St. Mark's apply for recognition as a Jubilee Center. In 1983, Presiding Bishop Rt. Rev. John Allin came to St. Mark's to present the certificate personally.
Today, the concept of Jubilee, as understood from the prophet Isaiah and the gospel of Luke, still provides the guiding principle for ministry at St. Mark's. In fact, the parish received Diocesan Congregational Development Operating Grants totaling $30,000 in 2012-2013 to help reclaim and strengthen its identity as a center for Jubilee Ministry in light of its own changing circumstances.
St. Mark's Jubilee Ministry Center continues to forge partnerships with local agencies and other churches. Many of the volunteers that staff the various programs come not only from St. Mark's but also from local congregations. Financial and in-kind support comes from religious groups throughout the area on a regular basis. The Jubilee Ministry Center at St. Mark's thereby provides a kind of "hub" where many individual efforts intersect to create a genuine sense of the Lord's Year of Jubilee as it "proclaims a year of favor from the Lord."
Two of its long-standing efforts continue on: Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, a food bank that provides food to individuals and families regardless of race, creed or status, and Parishioners' Outreach, which provides emergency assistance for heat, electricity and the like to families in need.
Several years ago, the ministry center began a monthly community meal, the Breaking Bread Together Dinner. Each month, over 100 people are served a balanced and nutritious meal that provides not only nutrition but also much needed fellowship.
More recently, the Jubilee Ministry Center at St. Mark's established an Environmental Stewardship Committee to provide guidance and advocacy at the local level on issues pertaining to our physical environment, and an outreach to "Folks of A Seasoned Age," which provides opportunities for personal and spiritual growth for individuals 55 years and older. For the last two years, the parish has revived its community garden to provide seasonally fresh produce for Mother Hubbard's Cupboard.

The Trust for Public Land and Waipā Foundation are working to purchase two kuleana properties in Waipā–Kaluanono and Halulu Fishpond Access – to fasten Waipā Foundation on Kaua'i's north shore.
The remains of the ancient fishing village of Kauleoli lie just south of Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park on the Kona Coast of Hawai'i Island.
The Trust for Public Land is working with partners to protect the land from development and ensure that the area's natural beauty and cultural sites will be preserved for everyone to enjoy.
The Kona Coast on the island of Hawai'i is the site of the historic battle that led to the end of the traditional kapu religious system in the early 1800s.
Stretching five miles from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point, the land surrounding the Turtle Bay Resort embraces one of the last undeveloped wild shorelines on O'ahu.
Nearly a half-million visitors each year come to this park on Hawai'i Island to attend demonstrations of traditional Hawaiian arts and crafts, hike a historic trail to important archeological sites associated with the highest chiefs and priests, or just soak up the atmosphere of this sacred place
In May 2012, The Trust for Public Land helped protect 64 acres of coastal wetlands at Ka`ehu Bay, which includes numerous Hawaiian cultural sites including habitation structures, agricultural terraces, former fishponds, and shrines.
Located on Kaua`i's north shore, just past the community of Hanalei, Lumaha`i has long been the image of a Hawaiian paradise depicted in postcards, photographs, and movies.
Overlooking the world-class surf breaks at the Pipeline ('Ehukai) and Sunset Beach rises a 1,129-acre coastal bluff known as Pupukea-Paumalu. In the 1990s, a community of more than 350 homes was approved for the bluff.

Her family life on TV may be a comedy, but in real life it's still, sadly, a drama.
Modern Family star Ariel Winter's guardianship case is headed for trial in October to determine if her mom, Chrisoula Workman, should regain custody of the teen.
"It's a work in progress," Winter's attorney told L.A. Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas on Friday regarding the family's court-ordered therapy sessions. "There's been no advancement in terms of reunification."
The actress, 15, has been in the care of her older sister Shanelle Gray, 34, following Winter's abuse allegations in October against her mother.
An attorney for Workman protested in court Friday that no visitation has occurred yet between mother and daughter, alleging that Ariel is refusing to meet with her mom in therapy.
"I love my daughter and I just want our family to be back together," Workman previously told PEOPLE. She is currently banned from communicating with her daughter directly, and plans to bring a dozen witnesses at trial – including Winter's brother, doctor, tutor, stylist and a producer from the TV show, among others – to testify that she's a fit parent.
Judge Levanas said he didn't want to "micromanage" the family's counseling, saying it was up to their therapist "who knows how to put families back together" to determine the speed of their sessions.
Outside the courtroom, Gray's attorney Mike Kretzmer, said that Winter is doing well in her sister's care.
"We're still hopeful that everyone can come together in agreement," Kretzmer told PEOPLE, adding that Gray is willing to care for Winter as long as it takes. "This family has a lot to work through."

One of the most inane chants in the history of collegiate sports. KU students will, in a very Tourette's-like fashion, break out the phrase at seemly random, inappropriate times. They tend to attach a "man" or "motherfucker," further implicating their level of douche.

The 5 Greatest Movie Sex Scenes (Where Nobody Has Sex)
People like movies, and people like sex, so it's not surprising that when there's a physical attraction between two characters on screen, the odds are high that their genitals will soon be in contact.
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
That means sex. Was there a less awkward way to say that?
But sometimes strong sexual tension doesn't explode into erotic release. The characters don't give in to that feeling, and instead all that emotion and/or attraction manifests itself in some other physical act. Some distinctly non-sexual contact is made, carrying all the lust, love, or desire of sex. Here are my five favorite movie sex scenes that contain no sex.
#5. Pulp Fiction
For those of you who've never seen Pulp Fiction, I hope your captors soon release you from your 20-year imprisonment. Also, not sure how they're letting you online. Anyway, as everyone knows, one of the central stories in Pulp Fiction is the date between gangster Marsellus' wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), and his hit man employee Vincent (John Travolta). Well, not really a date, because Marsellus would torture/murder any man who went on a real date with his woman. Instead, Vincent's job is to keep Mia out of trouble. Sex can't happen, and that's tough, because Mia looks just like Uma Thurman, and Uma Thurman is hot. Also she's kinda hip and flirty, which typically don't go well together. For example, try to imagine a hipster giving enough of a shit about anything to reach orgasm.
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
"OK -- Modest Mouse before their hit single "Float On" having an orgy with Arcade Fire before they were discovered ... yes, yes.
Dammit, lost it."
So Vincent and Mia eat and talk and dance and flirt, and then he heads back into the danger zone of her home, where she does a sexy dance to a Neil Diamond cover. (Back in junior high I once got to second base while listening to UB40's "Red Red Wine," so you better believe that's a powerful aphrodisiac.) Anyway, luckily for Vincent, instead of jumping on his manhood, Mia just does lots of heroin and almost dies.
The Not-Sex Scene:
While not quite as bad as screwing Marsellus' wife, Vincent knows that letting her die would also be kinda bad, so he enlists the help of his drug-dealing friend. It's soon determined that the only thing that can save Mia is a shot of adrenaline right to the heart. So yes, Vincent totally penetrates Mia and makes her scream, but not with his penis -- with a hypodermic needle penetrating her breastplate and entering directly into her heart.
In many ways, the scene mimics the classic sexual overtones of stake-driving in vampire movies. A phallic symbol, penetration, screaming, and blood. All the visceral parts of sex in a memorable scene where no one get laid.
#4. The Silence of the Lambs
When most people think of The Silence of the Lambs, sex is not the first thing on their minds (unless they have a fetish about guys who tuck their junk between their legs). But serial killer/sociopath/cannibal Hannibal Lecter loves FBI trainee Clarisse Starling. And if you read Thomas Harris' abysmal sequel Hannibal, you'll see that Lecter eventually brainwashes Clarisse and gets to be her boyfriend and have sex with her and everything! But not in The Silence of the Lambs. In this not horrible novel/film, Clarisse respects Hannibal's massive intellect and internal code of conduct, but never loses sight of the fact that he is a monster. A murderous, repugnant monster. Accordingly, the love and desire is one-sided and fated never to be consummated (until Harris loses his mind and moral center and writes the truly awful Hannibal. Have I mentioned that it sucks?).
The Not-Sex Scene:
We feel Hannibal's yearning through the glass of his cell from the very beginning, but he is separated from Clarisse. And even when he's moved to his symbolically absurd gothic bird cage of a cell, there is no chance of physical affection. Still, he manages to touch Clarisse's hand as he hands her a file he's reviewed at her request. Just a finger caress that carries more longing and consequence than most big screen sex. Jump to the end for the touch. Jump nine months past that to see Clarisse's ring finger give birth to ax-murdering triplets.
#3. Educating Rita
Here's a movie from 1983 that many of you might not have seen, and that's too bad, because it's one of my favorites. If you're going to see it (which you should), you have my permission to skip this entry to avoid spoilers -- that is, if you're the kind of twatastic jackass who yells "no spoilers" about 30-year-old movies.
Visage/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Wait. Romeo AND Juliet both die? Thanks, jackass. I hadn't seen it yet!!!"
Anyway, Michael Caine plays Frank, a drunken, disenchanted literature professor who hasn't written poetry in years. Julie Walters (young, thin, kind of hot, and not at all Ron Weasley's mom) is Rita, a working-class hair stylist yearning to be cultured. What follows is not unlike Pygmalion or My Fair Lady, but such comparisons really sell the film short. Rita evolves from a plucky working-class plebeian to a pedantic, elitist snob before finding herself somewhere in the middle. She shakes Frank out of his malaise, inspires him, makes him jealous, drives him further into drink, and ultimately remains his friend as he takes off to Australia for a sabbatical and a new life.
Frank never tries to kiss Rita, he never corners her uncomfortably, they never stand too close or wind up sharing a broom closet together with comically flirtatious results. In many ways, we only know that the attraction exists because we the audience like them both so much and want it to.
The Not-Sex Scene:
Rita spins Frank in her chair and vows to take 10 years off his life. Then she gives him a haircut. In that act, she reclaims part of her former self (the beauty parlor past she was ashamed of) and helps give birth to a new Frank. One who can start fresh. There is contact, joy, and renewal (jump to 5:20):

The ambulance service usually responds to several ATV related accidents each year, Luther said.
Sixteen grass fires were reported in Owen County last week, despite Kentucky's "no burn season" having started Feb. 15.
Each year on this same date, the Kentucky Division of Forestry enters a "no burn season" when it's against the law to set fire from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to any flammable material located within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland.
The regulation prohibits the burning of tires, garbage, construction debris, demolition debris, appliances, cars, buses, trailers and all other materials.

CHARLESTON - State Board of Education member Gayle Manchin said Tuesday that the need to change the deep-seeded culture at West Virginia's public school system prompted her vote last week to fire Superintendent Jorea Marple.
Manchin blamed a mindset at the state Department of Education- though not one shared by all there, she said - for West Virginia's chronically poor rankings on test scores and graduation rates. She also cited the significant taxpayer investments in the public schools, including close to $2 billion this budget year. It's one of the highest investments of education in the country, she said, but the "results certainly do not attest to that."
"My personal opinion was based on, do we have an individual that can change the culture and the environment?" Manchin said. "In order to do that, we had to have change. It's not personal, it's not even about one person. It's about culture and environment."
Manchin also said she wants the board to send a strong signal to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and the Legislature when it meets today to respond to the wide-ranging audit of the education system. The $750,000 review describes a low-performing education system rigidly controlled by state bureaucrats and a host of policy-directing laws. The report includes more than 100 recommendations aimed at refocusing resources on student achievement while saving an estimated $70 million a year.
Manchin said that while some department officials have responded favorably to the audit, others have been "defensive." She did not directly name Marple.
"My hope was that everybody would embrace it as a mechanism for providing direction and new ideas," Manchin said. She added, "Either we could move forward with ease, or we could move forward with difficulty. In my view, it was going to take a change in direction and a change in perspective in order to move forward."
Board President Wade Linger also cited the need for a new direction following Thursday's 5-2 vote to fire Marple, who was previously a deputy superintendent and Kanawha County schools chief as well as a teacher, principal and author. Marple earned $165,000 a year. Fellow board member Mike Green did as well Tuesday, but declined to explain why he believed that required Marple's firing.
"I'm not going to give any reasons why. We just looked at the big picture and where we were and decided it was time to make a change," Green said. "Dr. Marple has been in that job for I believe 18 months. She serves at the will and pleasure of the board. ... The board is at the top and the people who are below that are will-and-pleasure employees, and the board said we think we want to make a change. We're not going to give any specific reasons publicly, except it was time to make a change."
Green said he also viewed the audit and Marple's firing as separate issues.
Linger and the two other board members behind Marple's ouster did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
But even Linger's statement lauded Marple's career-long "concern for, and commitment to, West Virginia's schoolchildren." The two dissenting board members, Priscilla Haden and Jennie Philips, blasted the vote and have vowed to resign Dec. 31 in protest.
Marple's supporters planned a Tuesday evening vigil at the West Virginia Education Association offices in Charleston, in part to show their disapproval. Marple could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.
With a background in education, Manchin was appointed to the board in 2007 by her husband, then-Gov. Joe Manchin. As the state's chief executive from 2005 until he resigned upon his election to the U.S. Senate in late 2010, Manchin appointed or re-appointed all seven board members who took part in last week's vote.
Soon after Marple's firing Thursday, Linger announced that he wanted Randolph County Schools Superintendent James Phares to replace her. Phares has served as Randolph County schools superintendent since 2009.
The board appointed Deputy Superintendent Charles Heinlein to succeed Marple in the interim. The board had planned to discuss a new superintendent today, but postponed the matter until a Nov. 29 meeting. While not weighing in on Linger's endorsement of Phares, Gayle Manchin said she wants to revisit the superintendent's duties before launching any national search for a permanent successor.
"What is the criteria for the state superintendent in this state? Does it reflect the type of individual that is needed for the job?" Manchin said Tuesday. "There may need to be some changes made there, in order to bring us candidates of the most qualified nature to apply for the job... I'm not necessarily saying we're opening a national search tomorrow or the next day. I think we hire someone who assumes the role and then we carefully look at the criteria as it stands."
The board unanimously voted to hire Marple in March 2011 after a lengthy process that also identified two other finalists. The board had evaluated Marple's performance and rated it "good" in June, according to minutes of that meeting.
Marple told The Associated Press the day she was fired that the vote caught her by surprise. "I had received only words of encouragement," she told AP.
Board members have been drafting proposed additions and changes to the audit since September, department spokeswoman Liza Cordeiro said Tuesday. The board expects to discuss those proposals before voting on a final document to send to the Legislature, Cordeiro said.
"I want the governor and the Legislature to know that they have a state board that wants to work with them to set the direction and the tone for improving student achievement," Gayle Manchin said of the board's response, adding, "We need to push services down from the state more to the county and local level. I do not think that the resources are not where they are needed."

Westminster's Sociology Program
Sociology is the study of social life including social interactions, relationships, organizations, and institutions. Exploring the social contexts of "who we are," what we do," and "why we do it," sociologists not only seek to enhance our understanding of the social world but also to make a lasting positive difference in that world as well as the lives of the people who inhabit it. With more than twenty-five sociology courses to choose from and four optional sociology concentrations to consider in social inequality, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, and social work and social welfare, Westminster College sociology students have ample opportunity to engage in socially meaningful and relevant subject matter while learning from caring professors who, in addition to being nationally-recognized experts in their fields, are passionate about their work and just as passionate about their teaching. With their support, Westminster College sociology students have presented their undergraduate research at national academic conferences in, among other cities, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans, St. Louis, San Antonio, Boston, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, as well as participated in numerous service learning, internship, and practicum experiences. After graduation, Westminster College sociology students have worked in a wide variety of professional fields and settings including, among others, social services, public policy, public administration, law, government, criminal justice, academia, education, communications, environmental rights, counseling, social work, public health, rehabilitative services, human resources, public relations, marketing, and business, as well as have been accepted into some of the top graduate, professional, and doctoral programs in the country including, among others, the University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, Boston College, Penn State University, Northwestern University, University of Washington, University of Texas, Louisiana State University, University of Utah, University of Maryland, and Georgetown University.

An affectionate term for a child, particularly when it isn't listening to the adult, the implication being that the child's ears (lugs) have been fucked (or buggered) and can no longer hear as a result.

Bert Hyde
Retired Archuleta County Court Judge Bert Hyde died of complications of pancreatic cancer and Alzheimer�s disease Thursday, April 26, 2012, in Colorado Springs. He was 87.
Mr. Hyde was born to Pleasant Daniel and Elsie Adams Hyde on July 7, 1924, in Phoenix. He was the 10th of 12 children. When he was 10, his family moved to California, eventually settling in Palmdale.
As he was nearing high school graduation, he enlisted in the Navy at the beginning of World War II. At that time, high schools gave early diplomas to students who were enlisting in the armed services.
Mr. Hyde served for 3� years in the South Pacific, first in the armed guard on the SS Lamina and the SS Sabina. He then became a gunner�s mate on the USS Vincennes and returned home on the USS Lexington, joining his brother, Joe, who was stationed on the Lexington.
After being honorably discharged, Mr. Hyde graduated from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
In 1948, he married Elaine Meinhardt in Lakewood, Calif. He joined the Los Angeles Police Department, where he served in several different divisions during his 21-year career.
After his retirement from the LAPD, the Hyde family moved to their ranch in Pagosa Springs in 1968, which they had purchased five years earlier. Later that year, Mr. Hyde was appointed by Gov. John Love as the Archuleta County Court Judge, a position he held for 27 years. He retired in 1995.
Mr. Hyde was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Restoration Fellowship Church in Pagosa Springs.
�All of his life, Bert was a very hard worker, but he also loved sports, four-wheeling, golfing, hunting and working outdoors on his ranch,� his family said. �Bert and Elaine enjoyed traveling to many interesting places in the world.�
On their trip to Scotland, Mr. Hyde played a round of golf on the Old Course at St. Andrews, which became a favorite story. At the age of 80, he attended the World War II Memorial Dedication in Washington, D.C., and met President Bush.
Mr. Hyde is survived by his wife of 63 years, Elaine Hyde, of Pagosa Springs; children Paula Williams of Colorado Springs, Tom Hyde of Cathedral City, Calif., Dan Hyde of Newport Beach, Calif., and Julie Haslinger of Lake Forest, Calif.; 11 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 5, 2012, at the Restoration Fellowship Church, 264 Village Drive in Pagosa Springs.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Restoration Fellowship Church, 264 Village Drive, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147.

Nov. 26, 1944 – Dec. 15, 2012
Melvin L. Hawkins, of Buffalo, a Vietnam veteran who risked heavy enemy fire to carry wounded U.S. soldiers to safety and was awarded the Silver Star for his gallantry, died Saturday in his Buffalo home. He was 68.
The Buffalo native was a 1964 graduate of East High School and worked various jobs in Buffalo prior to joining the Army during the Vietnam War.
He was assigned as a medical technician and sent to Vietnam in 1967 as part of Company A, 2nd Battalion, 18th Infantry, of the First Infantry Division.
Mr. Hawkins was cited for extraordinary heroism on a search and destroy mission near the village of Chanh Luu on Jan. 6, 1968, according to a Buffalo Evening News account of his receiving the Silver Star, one of the nation's highest military honors. A citation noted that the private first class treated the wounded with complete disregard for his own safety while under heavy enemy sniper fire in dense jungle.
Mr. Hawkins then carried several of his comrades to a helicopter landing zone, continuing to treat them until they were evacuated.
The citation, according to The News story, said that Mr. Hawkins' actions undoubtedly saved lives. Mr. Hawkins received several other military honors, including the Purple Heart.
Upon his honorable discharge, Mr. Hawkins returned to Buffalo and attended Buffalo State College.
He worked at the Employment Education Center of Buffalo Model Cities and was active in the East Side and in community projects.
Mr. Hawkins, who was often known by his Islamic name, Karim Abdul-Malik, served as a mentor to young people and coached various sports.
He was an expert in African-American and classical music and jazz.
He is survived by two brothers, Calvin and William, and a sister, Linda.
A service will be at 11 a.m. today in An-Noor Islamic Center, 745 Heim Road, Amherst.

The Lapco T98/98 Custom/ Alpha Black BigShot APEX Ready 8 inch. Do you want a extremely accurate barrel? Or do you want a barrel that can perform trick shots?

They've modified the classic one-piece barrel to create a barrel with the ability to mount an Apex Tip. Now for the first time players can combo the widely popular Apex Tip with the extremely accurate one piece barrels. We've tested these out and it actually gives the player more control over the various trick shots featuring increased ball movement. Remember you can always turn the Apex off and rely on the accuracy of a LAPCO Big Shot. Features:

quote Slayerholic17Ha yeah i know a couple like that, about to get married and both play WoW together its really quite impressive because they love the game as much as they do each other.I'm a female and I play WoW...and both guys I have been with since playing have not played at all.
I wish my boyfriend would play with me but WoW is not his kind of game.
A friend of mine and her boyfriend play together all the time. They are both 27, she's been playing with him for about 3 years now, and started playing because he got her into it. It's super cute, they have two desks and their computers set up right next to each other and they raid together and everything. Super freaking cute. Makes me jealous.
quote heartachePlaying this game with your partner is great but that is if and only if the both of you have common interest on it. Yes, only a few women are in to games like this but those who've tried it once will definitely love to play more and do it over and over.It's really great playing with your partner
