Why I Don't Call Myself a Feminist
If you were to stop by my house lately, you'd be greeted by stacks of dishes, piles of unfolded laundry, and me sitting in front of my laptop, editing a book for Christian women that I've been working on for almost two years. It's my invitation for them to embrace their imagodei identity, to believe that we are made for more than the banality we often settle for, to believe that we cannot be reduced to being wives or mothers or published authors or PhDs.
This should make me a good candidate to join the burgeoning ranks of evangelicals who embrace the "feminist" label, who contend to be a feminist simply means that you believe that women are human beings.
Within the church, the "F-word" has been a point of tension for several decades. Conservatives want vocal condemnations of feminist ideology and exact explanations of what a woman should and should not do. Progressives want inclusive statements and decisive action against the male oppression they perceive lurking behind every darkened doorway. Both sides agree that being female in this world too often makes you a candidate for oppression and neglect in ways that being male does not.
Subject to domestic violence, sexual abuse, or something as routine as wage inequality, the girls and women who hold up half the sky are regularly treated as less than the image bearers they are. This, I believe, is why many of my sisters now identify as feminists. They're not necessarily identifying with the ideology of women like Betty Freidan and Gloria Steinem, but with the brokenness that feminism gives voice to.
But the seemingly simple nomenclature of feminism gets sticky: It's one thing to declare that "women are human" and deserve to be treated as such, and it's another thing entirely to agree on what it means to be human and what it means to be a woman. Self-described feminists can find it difficult to pursue solutions to the threats women face simply because they must first agree on what does and what does not constitute a threat to a woman's personhood.
Do you become human at conception or only after you're born? And what happens when a girl's right to be born conflicts with a woman's right to choose a son instead of a daughter? Once you are born, is your womanhood fixed or is it something you can reject? What should womanhood look like in practice? Does a woman's humanity enable her to fill any role a man does?
Our answers reveal more about our actual paradigms than whether or not we call ourselves feminists. It's these deeper questions that ultimately keep me from embracing the title. By definition, feminism doesn't have the language or categories to answer them; after all, as my sisters assure me, feminism simply means believing women are human—nothing more, nothing less.

Two very different verdicts from Virginia's high court this week in separate custody battles between former lesbian partners.
First, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled Friday that ex-lesbian Lisa Miller had no right to deny child visitation to her former lesbian partner, Janet Jenkins. CBN News first reported on the case, Miller vs. Jenkins, in April.
The two women had entered a civil union in Vermont in 2000. Two years later, Miller gave birth to a daughter conceived through artificial insemination. But after Miller became a born-again Christian, the women split-up and their civil union was dissolved.
After the split, a Vermont ruling gave Miller custody and her former lesbian partner child visitation.
Miller appealed the visitation rights, not wanting her daughter in contact with Jenkins' lifestyle. But this week, the Virginia Supreme Court upheld the lower court's order.
In a separate but similar case decided on Tuesday, the state's high court ruled that the biological mother of a child conceived during a lesbian relationship had the right to prevent visitation to her former lesbian partner. The court's decision in that case was unanimous.
The Liberty Council, a pro-family advocacy group, has been fighting to prevent similar same-sex custody cases from redefining the rights of biological parents.

SPRINGFIELD - It was their senior moment.
And they will remember it.
Nineteen of the region's top senior high school girls basketball players were in the spotlight Friday night at the Western Massachusetts High Senior All-Star Game.
And it was the seniors from Division I schools - dressed in blue - who got the better of the combo White squad from Division II and III programs.
Division I turned a close game at halftime into a runaway 74-43 victory in front of a crowd packed into all corners of Center Court at the Naismith Memorial Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Minnechaug center Bridget Crowley led Division I Blue with 15 points, with Central forward Aleisha Hawley adding 14. Guards Elisha Homich of Ludlow and Minnechaug's Bre Dufault each added eight.
"Coach 'Fen' said it was all about having fun tonight," said Crowley, who will play at Division III national semifinalist Amherst College next year.
Minnechaug teammates Crowley, Dufault and Bri Kelly (six points) all played for White team coach Jay Fenlason for a number of CYO grade school seasons.
"It was fun to play for him again," Kelly said. "We had some good play in the post and once we started making some layups (second half), things got better for us tonight."
Tiaunna Nieves of led the Division II-III White team with 19 points. The point guard at Commerce made three 3-pointers.
"This was great ... one more time playing in Western Mass., it brings back memories of playing with and against some great players here," said Nieves, who is undecided about college.
New Leadership's Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, the state's all-time leading scorer with 3,070 points, finished with nine for White.
The game featured 13 players who will be honored as first-team selections to The Republican's All-Scholastic team. Six others are second-team or honorable mention choices.
Homich (Division I), Nieves (II) and Abdul-Qaadir (III) were named by Comcast as its Western Mass. Players of the Year.
The teams were chosen by a committee comprised of Hall of Fame officials, local coaches and media.

3 Mother's Day gifts for modern moms
When you think of Mother's Day, do images of carnations, Hallmark cards and Sunday brunches come to mind? It's one of the most celebrated holidays of the year, but when it comes to gift giving, people often go to old standbys.
"Mothers spend (about) 30 hours a week doing things for their families aside from their career, which means women are burned out," says Bonnie Eaker Weill, Ph.D., author of "Make Up, Don't Break Up."Instead of picking up the standard flowers and card, be creative this year and surprise her with a gift that celebrates all she does.
"The best gift choices are things that a woman would feel 'guilty' buying for herself," says Amy Belkin, a personal shopper with her own gift-selecting business. "But women just want to be appreciated, so a gift that shows thought is always well-received."
With the help of Eaker Weill and Belkin, we've taken a couple of traditional gifts and reinvented them with ideas that suit today's moms.
OLD: Roses
NEW: A new tradition
A family activity is going to be more engaging than fleeting blossoms. Skip the bouquet and head out to the garden center to browse for blooms, then plant them in your yard as a family. Or buy a guide to area hikes for an outdoor-loving mom and try a new trail each May. Everyone will enjoy spotting the flowers along the walk -- you can even make a game of it.
"Rituals create memories that keep a family connected," Eaker Weill says. The tradition should hone in on something Mom will love and that everyone can enjoy. Plus, it's fun family bonding.
OLD: Kid-picked tchotchkes
NEW: Family values turned into art
The kids lovingly picked out a decoupage, heart-shaped jewelry box for Mother's Day last year, but it started falling apart by June. Rather than giving gifts that pile up, focus on something more meaningful. In "The Secrets of Happy Families," Bruce Feiler writes about the importance of having a family mission statement. He explains that when your family knows its collective goals, you can all work together to achieve them. He suggests having a family meeting to brainstorm ideas, vote on them and create a mission statement you can display. Belkin suggests presenting the statement as a piece of original artwork for Mother's Day.

Man suspected in Coronado Mall bomb scare due in court
Police: Heath Holden claimed to have bomb in car
UPDATED 9:52 AM MST Jan 06, 2013
The man suspected in a bomb scare at the Coronado Mall is expected to be in court Sunday.
Officials identified the man as 20-year-old Heath Holden.
Investigators said a shopper apparently saw Holden put on body armor and handle a gun before going into the mall on Saturday afternoon.
Police never found a gun but officers said Holden told them he had grenades and a bomb in his car.
"They did find two toy hand grenades, one was a plastic, ticking toy (and) the other was a firework grenade," Sgt. Ferris Simmons said.
Holden is being charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon because they found a knife on him.

Kickstart Comics Kicks it into High Gear!
Posted on July 27th, 2011 - 09:45 AM by Kevin Pearl
Pulled from: http://blog.comixology.com
As a publisher KICKSTART COMICS has quickly become a breakout success over the past year with great comics from superstar creators like Jimmy Palmiotti, Joshua Williamson, Justin Grey and many more. Taking time from a busy schedule to talk about some of the awesome comics; Kickstart productions very own Samantha Olsson Shear has been nice enough to answer a few questions about the company as well as give advice about how to kickstart your own projects. Check out the interview below:
So Kickstart comics has been really making waves lately with some great digital comics. What are your thoughts on digital distribution so far?
Samantha Olsson Shear: We really like what we've seen from digital distribution. As an independent publisher, it allows us to find more readership for our titles in places where readers may not have access to the physical book. The more ways that we can reach new readers and expose them to both the comic medium and our books, the better.
What do you hope readers of digital comics will get out of downloading a book from the Kickstart comics collection?
Samantha Olsson Shear: We hope it will encourage them to pick up the others. And really to just pick up comics in general. While there is still something great about going and browsing through a comic shop, not everyone has the time or easy access to one. Comics are a great medium and we are pleased its making strides in the digital space.
It looks like there are a bunch of great books in the works from Kickstart, Can fans expect more digital offerings from you soon?
Samantha Olsson Shear: Absolutely, we will continue to release all of our books digitally as well as in comic stores.
Let's switch gears for a moment and talk about a few of the recent OGN's kickstart put out. What can you tell us about them without giving anything away?
Samantha Olsson Shear: Book Smart is a fun, adventure. It's a fun twist reminiscent of some great, classic action flicks. Juan Santacruz's art gives us some great action with our heroine. We think readers will really enjoy this. We've also been talking to a sexy starlet about the leading role which is still under wraps but has us really excited.
Any chance you could tease us with a bit of what's to come both in print and digital?
Samantha Olsson Shear: We have DEAD WALKER coming out later in September in time for Hallloween. It's perhaps the closest title in our line to something in the horror landscape. Shannon Denton and Matt Jacobs served up some sinister art. Also up on the dock are KNOWBODYS from Aqua Teen Hunger Force creator Matt Maiellero and a really stunning period Samurai tale DIVINE WIND from Jeff Amano and Julian Totino Tedesco. It's sort of a Japanese 300. The artwork (and storytelling) will blow you away.
Now another cool thing about Kickstart comics has been the success of the Blacksmith mini-adventure game available through itunes. How did that project come about?
Samantha Olsson Shear: We were approached by a game developer to make a game out of one of our titles. Blacksmith was a no brainer there given that the main character belongs to a secret society of weapons makers. He has to go on the run when he is framed for a murder he didn't commit. The game has been getting a lot of positive feedback and launched in the new and notable section a few months back. It's really fun. Type in THE BLACKSMITH on itunes to get the app.
Are there any plans for more games based off of the stellar array of Kickstart comics?
Samantha Olsson Shear: We are definitely discussing which one to adapt next. We have also done two motion comics on two of our first titles HERO COMPLEX and coming soon BAD GUYS. Hero Complex was viewed by over 1.8 million viewers in its first week. So when you are talking digital, motion comics are a great medium as well.
So in conclusion, what advice do you have for folks looking to kickstart their own careers, whether in comics or otherwise?
Samantha Olsson Shear: In our short time as publishers, we have striven to make good stories for a wide audience. Much of that is simply following the type of material we like. Our advice would be to create what you love and not what you think everyone else wants.

I've got a new post up at All Things Thrifty today. I'm showing off the next installment of the nursery over there. There are also free downloads too!
Pineapple Sorbet Wallpaper Nursery (Hygge & West-Rifle Paper Co)
Part One: The Why
As a child I have a very vivid memory of what our house looked like. Wallpaper in every room. Wallpaper in the family room (cream with forest green grid on top). Wallpaper in the kitchen (forest green with white polka dots…or small white flowers?). Wallpaper border in one of the bedrooms (teddy bears, ducks with mauve bows, and hearts). Wallpaper in my bedroom (rainbow gingham, but only up to chair rail hight). Wallpaper in the bathroom, AND a wallpaper boarder. The next vivid memory I have is the removal and for the next 10 years hearing my mother say, "I WILL NEVER WALLPAPER AGAIN!" It left a lasting impression to say the least.
Every year at the parade of homes I see beautiful wallpapers in the models. I look on Pinterest and see stunning wallpaper features in laundry rooms. Several of my blog friends have done stunning wallpaper projects: Emily's ostrich bathroom, Amber's floral accent wall, Kelly's floral closet, Katja's textured entry, Anu's modern entry (and way more that my pregnancy brain is struggling to remember).
And then I got sad. I was sad because I was a wimp. I loved all the wallpapers, but I was too afraid to commit. I stuck with stenciled walls because I knew I could always paint over them… until I found this from Hygge & West, designed by Rifle Paper Co:
I showed a picture to Aaron and said, "What do you think about this for the nursery?" I was still up in the air about it, but he was VERY insistent that we do it. He reminded me that pineapples are the traditional way to say "welcome home" therefore making it the perfect place to bring home our new baby girl.
Since we already had a plethora of baby girl items leftover from Evelyn, we were able to splurge a little to get this wallpaper.
Who better to help me install this wallpaper than the queen of wallpaper herself, my mother! I was worried she would talk me out of it, but she was very supportive! She reminded me that as long as I don't wallpaper the entire house, when we ARE ready to remove it, one wall won't be that big of a deal.
Part Two: The How
**If you aren't doing a wallpaper project, this part of the post will be pretty boring, since it is tips and tricks of the actual install. Just enjoy the pictures! If you ARE getting ready for a wallpaper project, I hope this helps you and can help you avoid some of the mistakes I feel like I made.**
Since I was doing the same brand of wallpaper as Amber from Wills Casa, I read and reread her tutorial over and over and found it very helpful. I recommend you do the same if you're planning on Hygge & West wallpaper.
Most wallpapers are pre-pasted, meaning you just have to get them wet, then stick it to the wall. Not this paper. It involves a special paste that you apply both to the paper and the wall.
These are the supplies we needed: 2 buckets (one for paste, one for water), the paste (which we purchased from Hygge & West as well), spreaders, razor blade, sponges, rollers. Not pictured: plastic floor cover.
Make sure to mix your paste ahead of time, because it takes an hour to set up. While it was swelling, we prepped the room with the drop cloth and towels because this is a MESSY process.
The first piece is the hardest to hang. That's what everyone will tell you. You can't count on walls being level, so need to get a level and measure then draw a "plumb line" straight down. That is what you'll line your wallpaper up with. (Please see pictured my cute mama below!)
When you're applying paste to the back of the wallpaper, do it liberally. You'll also roll paste onto the wall.
You'll "book" the paper by folding it into thirds, and letting it sit for about 5-7 minutes.
You'll line the paper up (to the pencil line if it's your first piece- to the pattern if it's any piece after that). Make sure you cut your pieces long, because you'll go back and trim it with a razor blade. Once you have the paper in place, the real hard part happens: smoothing it out. This is extremely messy. You'll have gooey paste oozing in every direction. Don't be afraid! This is what you want. It's just difficult because the paper will start to wrinkle in places.
I found the best way to avoid wrinkles and creases is this method: don't start smoothing with the scrapers right away! Loosely start smoothing the paper onto the wall with your hands, almost like you're stretching the paper into place. Start in the middle, then work your way to the edges. THEN use your scrapers. After I discovered this method I had far less wrinkles.
Use the sponge and washcloth to wipe off extra paste with warm water. The wallpaper is very durable and strong.
We have slightly textured walls. I went back and forth on deciding if we should do a skim coat to make the wall smooth, or leave the texture (knowing it would show through the wallpaper). We decided to not cover the texture, because when we are done with the wallpaper, we don't want to have to re-texture the wall to match the rest of the room. However, I ended up being happy with this decision for another reason. It hid any wrinkles that I was unable to smooth out. And the texture is barely noticeable.
After each strip of wallpaper was smoothed into place, we held the edge of the scraper to the baseboards/ceiling, and ran the razor along the edge to trim it.
The most frustrating part of the project was the very last piece. We had a gap of less than an inch that we had to fill. It was pretty unbelievable. We just trimmed the whole last piece down to about 4 inches, then after pasting it in place, cut it with the razor.
Part Three: The Finished Product
Here's the nursery before:
After about 5 hours of messy work later (and a sneak peek at the dresser I scored on a thrift hunt!):
I just need to give another huge shout out to my mom for helping me with this. Wallpapering is definitely a two person job, and I couldn't have done it without her. We had such a great time talking and laughing while working on a project together. It was a really special day to spend with her, and I'm happy that when I see this wall I can remember how much fun it was to create it with my mommy!
There are 2 different seams in this picture, and you have to look really close to find them. The pattern matched up almost perfectly, which I was surprised about because of the hand-painted nature of the pattern.
This pineapple pattern is EVERYTHING. I love the blush color of the flowers. I love that it's on a white background, and it's the same shade of white as the other walls in the room. It flows together really well. I love how happy and cheerful it is.
Evelyn was adorable while I was trying to photograph the room. She loved reaching for the pineapples and patting them.
(Also, can you believe how curly her hair is?!)
We are very excited to welcome home our Tiny-girl, the pineapple of our eye.
How To Paint A Scalloped Wall Border
Hey pals. Long time no blog, amirite? I've just been busy selling houses and growing human parts in my belly. I've got a nursery design ready to execute for this Tiny girl. (I capitalize Tiny because that's what we call her. Lil sis doesn't have a name yet.) All the major supplies for her nursery have arrived, and I'm SO excited for it. I'm stepping into a world of things I've never done before. It's scary and exciting!
But I felt bad. I felt really bad for sweet Evelyn Faye. I know she doesn't understand/care, but I felt terrible that I put so much work and effort into her nursery, and now she doesn't have it anymore. We actually spend a lot of time reading and playing in her room. I want it to be a place she is comfortable and wants to be. I didn't want to copy her old nursery, but I wanted it to be reminiscent of her old room. I also didn't want to do a major makeover until she's a bigger kid and starts having tastes of her own.
I made a deal with myself that we would give her room a simple update before we started Tiny's nursery.
If you remember, I stenciled a beautiful gold scalloped wall in Evelyn's room. It was the most lovely thing. I wanted a simplified version of that, so I thought a scalloped border was the way to go.
I picked up a $0.50 poster board from the grocery store, and used an IKEA plate to trace a scallop pattern for my stencil.
I held it up to the wall and traced lightly with a pencil.
My ORIGINAL plan was to paint it gold, using the same gold paint I used for this.
However, it did not work. In fact, it epically did not work. It was the same brand (Sherwin Williams Faux Finishes 'Gold' – which isn't cheap!). I was baffled. But after talking to a store associate, they said it was the combination of the brush and roller. When I stenciled, I was ONLY rolling. No brush. But there was no way to do this scallop border without using both a brush and a roller. After THREE COATS it was still this splotchy and uneven. The paint is really thin and runny, and it wasn't going to work for how much cutting in I needed to do. I was 100% bummed.
I decided to prime over it and try another look.
The new color I chose was Sherwin-Williams Wall Flower. It is such a pretty color. Imagine if lilac and mauve had a love child. It's so delicate; perfect for a sweet little girl.
I used a 2″ nylon brush to cut in along the ceiling and curves of the scallops, then I filled in the middle with a mini roller.
When I'd told a few people about painting Evelyn's room, they asked where she was while I was painting. I'm happy to report that I am the mother to a very self-sufficient one year old who loves to independently play. We close all the doors and gate off the top of the stairs, and she'll play on the landing with her toys for hours like this. She's a happy girl! I was listening to music while painting, and she would occasionally get up and dance. She'd also come walk to the gate to check on me and make sure I was still in there, then go back to her toys.
I'm planning on hanging all the art we had in her old room. And we have a special bookcase delivery coming soon from her Grandpa Burton. But here are the scallops in their beautiful glory.
I wasn't expecting any kind of reaction from Evelyn, but she noticed the new paint right away. She points at the scallops and smiles all the time, especially after waking up when she's still sitting in her bed. I'm glad I have the 13-month-old stamp of approval on this.

Campus is very small so it is very easy to get around
I don't use the transportation.
I know there are buses in the area, but I drive and don't have firsthand experience with the local transportation.
There are some walking distance places. However it's better to have a car if you want to enjoy going out and eating at new places and finding neat areas in L.A.
The Biola shuttle is wonderful!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Transportation is on the minds of a lot of students, but Biola offers opportunities aside from off-campus transport options with the WeCar. Biola has two to three WeCars on campus and rents the vehicles out to students in need of a car for the day, week, or year. These relatively new cars are very safe and are not in use for extended periods of time, leaving them open and available to anyone in need. Aside from that, bus stops are located close to Biola's campus and give students a cheaper—albeit longer—route to take. Usually, to make the car rides cheaper or the bus rides seem shorter, students travel in groups, pooling their money together to save on the trip.
Because Biola's campus isn't so large that a student couldn't walk across it in 20 minutes, there are no campus shuttles. In addition to this, cabs are not readily available unless called in advance. But if students are unable to hitch a ride with their friends who already have cars, walking is usually favored over busing and using the WeCars. Biking is another popular form of transportation (not to mention a healthier form) that students often exploit. Students are allowed to bike in most areas at Biola and thus literally go the extra mile when needing to get groceries or go into town.

State, local police eyeing seat belt use as part of traffic enforcement effort
State and local police are working to ensure more motorists buckle up when they hit the road over the next few weeks.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is working with more than 600 law enforcement agencies statewide as part of the national "Click It or Ticket" campaign, which began Monday and runs through June 9.
Participating agencies will conduct roving patrols and traffic safety checkpoints, mainly during nighttime hours, in an effort to prevent crashes, curb traffic violations and get more people to wear their seat belts.
Funding for the effort comes from a portion of PennDOT's statewide distribution of $1.7 million in funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"As the start of the summer travel season approaches, I strongly encourage everyone to buckle up every time, no matter how far you're traveling," PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said in a news release announcing the campaign. "The majority of crashes happen within 25 miles from home, and you are 60 percent more likely to survive a crash if you're buckled up."
Pennsylvania State Police Troop E will have troopers out working additional duties and hours, spokesman Sgt. Mark Zaleski said. Millcreek Township police will also be working roving patrols and setting up several three-officer patrols throughout the township, Millcreek police Cpl. Tony Chimera said.
In Crawford County, members of the Crawford County DUI Task Force will conduct roving enforcement patrols and will hold a DUI checkpoint this weekend.
If motorists are stopped for a traffic violation and are not wearing a seat belt, they can receive a second ticket and a second fine, according to PennDOT.
The agency reports that seat belt usage statewide dropped from 83.8 percent in 2011 to 83.5 percent in 2012. There were 503 people killed in unbelted crashes in 2012, down from 509 in 2011, according to state statistics.
Nine of 13 people killed in crashes investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police statewide during the four-day Memorial Day driving period in 2012 were not wearing seat belts, the agency reported. Troopers cited 1,129 people for not wearing seat belts and issued citations to 113 people for not securing children in safety seats during the holiday period.
Only two of the 29 people killed in vehicle accidents in Erie County in 2012 were wearing seat belts, according to the Erie County Coroner's Office.

Q: I am a new hedgehog owner. My hedgehog has brownish spots on his quills and fur. The quills are indented in the brownish areas. This concerns me, and I have no vets in my area who see hedgehogs. He also has a biting problem. I tried disciplining his biting with a light tap on the nose, but this just angers him. I've also tried hand-feeding him to discourage him from biting my hands but he retaliates by refusing to eat. Any light you could shed on this would help me greatly. We were getting along well in the beginning, but now I aggravate him and he huffs more often.
A: Without seeing your hedgehog I can't tell you what is going on with the spots. Your hedgehog might have backed into his food or stool, and it is now stuck on his quills and fur and has hardened. If this is the case, in time will come off.
Your second question states that your hedgehog stopped eating completely. This is a serious matter. See a vet as soon as possible. To find a vet that sees hedgehogs, call your area nature centers, zoos, nature rehabbers and science museums. Vets that specialize in exotic animals service these facilities.
Most hedgehogs do not bite. A hedgehog is very scent-oriented. If a hedgehog smells something that seems tasty, it usually digs in. Wash your hands before handling your hedgehog. If your hedgehog still bites then he must learn to associate biting with something unpleasant. Tapping him with your hand will only make him afraid of your hand; no wonder he is huffy around you.
When you pick up your hedgehog give him a flat hand so there is nothing he can grip. Hedgehogs often lick before they bite so if your hedgehog starts to lick try blowing a puff of air straight at him. This should startle him, and he might start to roll up in a ball. If he goes to lick again, repeat the puff of air. Your hedgehog will soon associate the biting of flesh with something uncomfortable.

Inked Girls: Marleen Swanepoel
Myself in a sentence: I am a big nerd, I love reading, music and getting tattoos :).
Occupation: Designer
Hometown: Centurion
The design and themes of my tattoos: My tattoos are very new school and range from things like flowers to video game characters. So any and everything in life I find pretty :)
More specifics about my tattoo: The flower side piece started out as a whole life to death kind of idea but I got distracted and now it is turning into a whole garden of all my favourite flowers and running all the way up my back. The owl on my foot I got cause I literally just liked the picture and I like animals. The dragon on my calf is because I am obsessed with dragons. The Miss fortune is because of my video game girl crush. The words under my boobs are because I believe that you should believe in anything but preferably yourself.
My favorite tattoo and the story behind it: My Miss Fortune thigh piece. I have always had a fascination with video game girls. they always look perfect and ready to kick your ass. It is my inspiration to kick ass in what ever I do :)
My next tattoo: Not sure yet, something on my arms seeing as they are still naked.

Ok so where I live we always have a contest for Halloween decor. The neighborhood association judges the winner. This year I am going for a morgue theme on my front porch. I plan to have a dummy on a gurney out front with a gun shot wound. I plan to stuff a freezer bag full of stage blood, and organ meat :barf: :evil: in the chest. I intend to shoot it with a shotgun for total realism. What load/distance do you think would create the most gruesome effects? I can use anything 12ga up to a 3 1/2" mag. I know a silly thread but have some fun with it. Feel free to share any other ideas. Usually the most gruesome display wins.

Discover DinerTown Detective Agency
PlayFirst announced the official release dates for their new hidden object game, DinerTown Detective Agency. DinerTown Detective Agency takes players to 20 new locations within DinerTown to solve a series of kooky "whodunit" cases that have thrown the residents into a state of confusion. The typical tension of the mystery genre is replaced with tongue-in-cheek cases including "Who stuck their finger in all the jelly donuts?" and "Who's ordering pizzas to my house from the worst place in town?" All of which lead to a much bigger mystery that envelops the DinerTown community. "With DinerTown Detective Agency, we decided to present a fresh angle on the hidden object genre and entertain players in a challenging but uniquely satirical way," said Kenny Shea Dinkin, vice president and creative director, PlayFirst. "Players will experience the comic irony in every aspect of the game including design, color, storyline, dialog, music and characters." BernieRead more →By dawn in Casual Gaming No comments yet
Hello Kitty House!?
A little while back, Trina was hoping for a Hello Kitty themed hotel room, much like the Barbie themed room at the 50th anniversary of Barbie. Well, Move over Barbie! Hello Kitty's has a WHOLE house devoted to her. This two story home is located in Shanghai, China, with its entire themed decor in the colors and shapes of Hello Kitty. From what I can tell from the images, there is a bedroom, living area, and a restaurant or dining area all done up in all the goodness that Hello Kitty has to offer. From what I can see, there is no mention of the house being avaiable to rent or stay in, nor from the pristine lawn, if anyone is even allowed in there. Scroll down for a few avaiable images. So, Trina, when are we packing our bags? Source: UberReview.com FollowRead more →By netzach in Toys 4 Comments »

More Yogurt Mommy! (Confessions of a 10-Month Old)Heather Spohr
Thanks to Stonyfield YoBaby Yogurt Pouches for sponsoring this post. Click here to see more of the discussion.
Hey guys…James here. I'm ten months old, and I thought it was about time for me to write my first blog post. There are so many things I've been dying to talk about, but the most pressing thing on my mind is food. Specifically, how amazing food is.
I know if you're reading this you're thinking, "But James, you're a baby, what do you know about food?" Plenty, my friends. Plenty. I probably appreciate food more than any of you people out there because for the first five months of my life, I was on a liquid diet. LI-QUID. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE? It's boring. Tasteless. Some babies like knowing what to expect, but not me. I wanted some variety.
It was a dream when my mom started giving me solids. I felt like my entire world was changing! Rice cereal was pretty bland but it was still better than liquids — and much more filling! But I couldn't believe it when my lips closed around a spoonful of peas. That stuff is delicious! And don't even get me started on pears. Party in my mouth!
A few weeks ago, my mom started feeding me yogurt. My older sister Annie had a ton of questions (but really, when doesn't Annie have a ton of questions) because she couldn't believe I was eating yogurt just like her. I only half-listened at first, because I was WAY too focused on the amazing stuff going into my mouth.
Yogurt tastes like what I imagine ice cream tastes like, but better because it isn't freezing! I heard my mom tell Annie that yogurt also help me gain weight, which I'm excited about because people already squeal over my chubby thighs. The part my mom says she likes the most about yogurt is that it will help me poop less! I'm happy about this because it means my sister won't be able to call me "Stinky" so much.
In conclusion, for my first birthday, please send me yogurt. Although, I'm intrigued by this "cake" thing everyone is talking about…

Promoters need to feature undercard fights future stars are ignored
The UFC builds up their prospects and potential stars on the undercards, with Boxing they just focus on the main event even in the countdown shows and 24/7 its all about the main event,
With undercards in boxing you never know what future star could be fighting because nobody cares about the undercards, remember when the Tyson vs. Lewis fight happened?
The most impressive win that night was an unknown Manny Pacquiao who would later turn into one of the biggest draws in boxing and international sensations. He first impressed on the Oscar vs Castilejo fight beating Ledwaba down for his strap. Yet nobody even saw these undercard fights the audience was practically empty.

Cholecystitis is frequently associated with a certain degree of pancreatitis. Of 1,290 cases of diseases of the gallbladder and bile duct reported by Judd,1 347 or 26.8 per cent. had associated pancreatitis. In his cases, the clinical history did not, as a rule, suggest pancreatitis. The condition was determined at the time of operation by enlargement, hardening or edema of the pancreas. Deaver believes that cholecystitis causes a pancreatic lymphangitis, which condition precedes interstitial pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is sufficiently far advanced in over one fourth of the cases of gallbladder disease operated on to cause a macroscopic change in the organ. Another interesting illustration of the intimate relationship between gallbladder and pancreatic disease is the not infrequent occurrence of glycosuria in long standing cholecystitis.
In routine examination of the fasting duodenal juice for pancreatic enzymes, we frequently encountered an absence of, or a decrease in, the amount of one or more

Also I am going to purchase some Grado headphones, most likely the the SR325is or SR225i's. Can I please get some recommendations on a usb Dac that's in the 100 - 200 dollar range. Thanks
I'm a newbe with a PC and Flac files and need guidance.

For a PC, get the Asus Xonar DG sound card, $30, spend the rest of your budget on headphones.
I'm sorry I didn't say this before but I have a laptop not a full PC to add any cards.

For a newbie any reputable DAC/AMP should do.
For Grados, I would get a schiit modi usb dac for $99 & a Little Dot 1+ hybrid amp for about $120.....that is a killer set up for your grado headphones.
I got that for my son for Christmas and he is just loving the combo....he is using Grado 225i headphones
Thanks I will look into it.
Can the little dot drive 600 Ohm headphones efficiently?

Judging from the published power specs of 150mW @ 300 ohms, 300mW @ 120 ohms, 800mW @ 32 ohms, it's not the best choice for 600 ohm headphones. The 1+ is designed for low impedance headphones. Something like the Little Dot MK2 or MK3 would be better for high impedance headphones (but not really low-impedance headphones). Why does it matter though -- aren't you going to be using Grados?
The Little Dot 1+ is great for Grados and small impedence headphones...that is what it is designed to do.
If I were going to drive 600 ohm cans, this is not the amp that I would get.....but again, it is a great amp for Grado's

Workers have voted in favor of going on strike at Kaleida Health, which operates four hospitals in the Buffalo area.
Officials of three unions representing more than 7,000 employees reported Wednesday night that they have been authorized to give Kaleida a 10-day notice of a work stoppage if a new contract agreement is not reached by June 21, when the current contract extension expires.
Kaleida and the three unions – Local 1168, Communications Workers of America; Local 17, International Union of Operating Engineers; and Local 1199 SEIU, United Healthcare Workers East – have held 30 negotiating sessions since March. They will meet again today with a federal mediator present.
Kaleida Health spokesman Michael P. Hughes noted that the two sides "have reached tentative agreement on 143 articles, which represents the majority (90 percent) of the contract."
Union negotiators contend that Kaleida's numbers don't add up.
"The discrepancies we see could make a tremendous difference in safe staffing levels, quality care, decent health care and living wages," said Local 1199 SEIU Vice President Jim Scordato.

Forty-seven dance groups, five more than in 2002, will star in Celebration 2004, Thursday-Sunday at Centennial Hall, the Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall, Sealaska Plaza, the Mount Roberts Tramway and Marine Park.
The Sealaska Heritage Institute expects the biennial Native dance-and-culture festival, conceived in 1980, to draw more than 5,000 people from Alaska, the Lower 48 and Canada.
Due to space constraints, the institute had to turn away nine dance groups from the Lower 48 and outside Southeast, according to a press release. Fifty-two dance groups were registered, but at least five had dropped out as of Tuesday, according to Sealaska.
"Celebration is growing beyond the region and beyond Alaska," said Rosita Worl, president of Sealaska Heritage Institute, in the releases. "We will be looking at ways to accommodate the groups in the future by expanding Celebration, perhaps increasing the number of days."
The festival will feature more than 1,700 dancers, an opening procession, a Saturday parade, a black seaweed contest, canoe races at Sandy Beach, Native artist workshops, a Native language fair, a storytelling forum, a Juried Art Show and a Native Artist Market. The market, traditionally held at the National Guard Armory, has been moved to Centennial Hall.
This year's theme is "Strength of Body, Mind and Spirit," translated to "Haa Latseen" in Tlingit, "Gudangay" in Haida and "Tcka Yu-gyetg" in Tsimshian.
A few events begin today. Sealaska will host the opening reception and awards ceremony for the Juried Art Show from 5 to 6:30 p.m. today in the lobby at One Sealaska Plaza. Canoe teams will be welcomed during the traditional Coming Ashore Ceremony, 7 to 9 p.m. today at Marine Park downtown.
Three-day passes are available today at Centennial Hall. They also can be purchased at the Sealaska Heritage office at One Sealaska Plaza. Cost is $12 for students (ages 8-18) and elders (65 and up) and $25 for adults.
One-day tickets can be purchased on the day of the events. Admission is $5 for students and elders, and $10 for adults.
Celebration's special guest will be the Rangimarie (ranjeemarie) Maori dance group from New Zealand. Rangimarie translates to "peace and harmony" in Maori. The group will be featured at 1 p.m. Friday, June 4, at ANB Hall, and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 5, at Centennial Hall.
Rangimarie also will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 4, at the Juneau-Douglas High School auditorium in a show sponsored by the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council. The Alaska Youth Choir will open. Tickets are available at Hearthside Books, Rainy Day Books and the arts council office, 206 North Franklin Street.
Participants in Thursday's Grand Entrance should gather in front of the ANB Hall on Willoughby Avenue at 7:30 a.m. The march begins at 8 a.m. at Fireweed Place and stretches a short distance down the street to Centennial Hall. The 2002 Grand Entrance was on Whittier Street.
Traffic will be affected on Willoughby Avenue, Village Street and West Third Street. Several parking lots - the State Office Building, Department of Environmental Conservation, 400 Willoughby Avenue Building and Fireweed Place - will be closed from 7:45 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Participants in Saturday's Celebration 2004 Parade will assemble in the Mount Roberts Tramway parking lot, off South Franklin Street, at 7:30 a.m. The parade will take its usual course, up South Franklin Street to Front Street, left on Front, down Front to Main Street, left on Main, down Main to Egan/Marine Way, right on Egan/Marine Way, down Egan/Marine Way, right on Willoughby Avenue, down Willoughby Avenue and to Centennial Hall.
Traffic will be closed on Marine Way, Admiral Way, Ferry Way, Shattuck Street, Seward Street, Main Street, Egan Drive and Willoughby Avenue. The parade runs from 8 to 11 a.m.
Dance groups will march in both parades in the order in which they perform in the dance group schedule.
The Southeast Alaska Native Veterans will lead both parades, followed by this year's lead dance group, the Sitka Kaagwaantaan, and Rangimarie.

A Violinist's Brave Encore
Though Badly Injured in a Terrible Train Accident, Rachel Barton Never Lost Her Will to Perform
On Sunday, July 16, Barton, a courageous 20-year-old prodigy, was scheduled to make her much-anticipated return to the Chicago classical music scene, playing the Anton Dvorak Violin Concerto with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra at Grant Park. Barton would perform her comeback solo from a wheelchair, as she is not yet ready to stand on her own. In fact it is something of a miracle that she is performing at all.
Last Jan. 16 the red-haired virtuoso was horribly maimed when her precious violin became trapped in the closing doors of a commuter train. She was dragged several hundred feet before shocked commuters could alert the engineer to stop—but not before the wheels of the train had severed her left leg and cut off part of her right foot. Amazingly, Barton's 378-year-old, $400,000 Amati violin, which she has on loan, survived intact—as did her determination to play again.
"Itzhak Perlman is an inspiration to me—he performs in a wheelchair," she says of the famed violinist, who had polio as a child. And although her own present confinement to a chair has caused some depression, she vows, "Eventually I'm going to get out of this thing."
Barton grew up in Chicago, the oldest daughter of Terry Allen Barton, a salesman, and Amy, a former social worker, who divorced this year. Schooled entirely at home, Rachel was 3 ½ and her sister Sarah 2 ½ when Amy started taking them to a local violin teacher. "My mom's friends told her that it would be really cheap and good for my social skills," says Rachel. "I ended up falling in love with it."
By the time she was 10, and chosen to solo with the Chicago Symphony, it was clear the instrument loved her back. At 11, she began playing in the first violin section of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. In 1993 she won a bronze medal at Brussels' Queen Elizabeth International Violin Competition, the most prestigious in the world, and last year Barton released her first compact disc, a rendering of virtuoso pieces by Spanish composer Sarasate.
On the morning of her accident, Barton was getting off the train at the Winnetka station to hike over to the Music Center of the North Shore, where she taught 24 violin students. Barton is reluctant to discuss the accident, partly because she is suing the train company, Metra. But the men who saved her life remember that morning well.
Commodities trader Brian McCarthy recalls walking to the vestibule of the train as it was leaving Winnetka station. As he approached the vestibule, he says he heard "numerous loud screams of desperation" emitted by Rachel. When he heard a passenger shout about a young girl whose violin was caught in the doors, McCarthy began banging on a row of emergency buttons, causing the engineer to stop the train. Jumping down onto the tracks, he saw Barton and instinctively took off his belt and wrapped it around her leg as a tourniquet. "The artery in her left leg was just spurting," says Jim Tuck, McCarthy's friend, who came along minutes later and applied his belt as well. "But Rachel was very coherent. She gave us her name, told us her mother's phone number and was worried if her violin was okay. Her strength of character was obvious."
Barton was rushed to Evanston Hospital, where she endured nine hours of surgery that day. Altogether, she has undergone 20 operations. Her left leg was amputated above the knee. Part of her right foot had to be cut away, and she has a bone graft below her right knee, which, she says, was shattered "in a thousand pieces."
As word of Rachel's accident spread, friends and teachers streamed into the hospital, and at one point 70 people were waiting in the lobby. "My friends would walk into the room and say, 'Oh my God, you are alive. We still have you,' " says Rachel. "Everyone told me how beautiful I looked. Then they said, 'We are going to take you dancing again.' "
During the next few months, all of Chicago seemed to be following her progress. Chicago Symphony Orchestra conductor Daniel Barenboim led local musicians in a benefit concert that raised $75,000, and on May 4, the day the Chicago Bulls invited her to play the national anthem before a play-off game, she received a standing ovation.
World-class musicians showed their support. While she convalesced at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Barton received notes from violinists Perlman and Isaac Stern and conductor Pierre Boulez. Conductor Zubin Mehta paid a visit. Then the most exciting thing of all happened: Slash sent her flowers. "He signed the card 'Slash, Guns N' Roses guitarist,' " says Barton, "like I would think it was some other Slash. Not only did I know who he was, they are my favorite band!"
Has she written him back? "I need to find the exact words," she says, adding wistfully, "I think he is actually married to a red-haired woman."
Barton, who came home in February, has just started to regain her strength. Due to a bone infection contracted in March, she was not able to begin her rehab until three weeks ago. But she recently confided to a friend that she had practiced the violin all day. And she did a run-through at home with Daniel Hege, music director of the Chicago Youth Symphony, of the Dvorak concerto they planned to play in Grant Park. "She was an amazing player before the accident, and she is an amazing player now," says Hege.
Still, Barton is irked that she will be playing on Sunday in her wheelchair, especially since she vowed last March that she would walk onstage for her first concert. "There is no way I am going to be able to walk for this concert," she says. "But my next goal is to see what kind of shape I will be in on Oct. 11, my 21st birthday, because it would really be sad if I couldn't go dancing."

Kadamattom Church
Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/24/2007 - 08:47.
Submitted by aathura on Sun, 2006-12-03 15:48.
(kadamattom church)
Kadamattom church is situated on the Ernakulam – Muvattupuzha route, 10 kms from latter, along the MC road in a calm and serene environment. While traveling from Muvattupuzha, the church can be seen on the right hand side, slightly on a higher elevation than the road. There is no concrete evidence of the exact date of the establishment of the church. Believed to be built between the 4th and 10th century.
( photo relics of kadamattathu kathanar photo the superub photographer challiyan / Challiyil Eswaramangalath Vipin
There are 3000 families under the parish, comprising of people from both the factions of the Syrian church (Orthodox and Jacobite). The church was closed till some months ago due to the clashes between the two factions, each claimed the church's theirs. You can also see two chapels, one of each faction near the original church, which was used for service, when the latter was closed. Jus outside the main church, on the right, there's the Orthodox chapel and walk able distance from the main; the Jacobite chapel finds a place. This church is closer to the Poyyedom Church. The main church has services every week, but alternate factions, thanks to the collector. The Poyyedom church is a new building as compared to the Kadamattom church.
Once you enter the church, at the left there's a photo of Mar Abo Metropolitan. He is Rev. Paulose alias the legendary Kadamattathu Kathanar's mentor. It is believed that Mar Abo, a Persian high priest established the church with the help of Kartha, the then local ruler of Kadamattom. Mar Abo was not only a theologian but also a conjurer. He stayed in a hut with a poor widow and her only son Paulose. Paulose assisted Mar Abo for years and later Paulose was ordained a priest. A Persian cross can be seen on the right wall of the Madhbaha or Holy of Holies, having four equal arms with ancient writings inscribed. The wings of the cross also end with floral designs. The tombstone of Kadamattathu Kathanar lies on the left side jus outside the Madhbaha. Another unique thing about the church is the door lock (wood mechanism). The pathala kinar (well) lies near the Poyyedom church. It is believed that Kathanar went to pathalam from here. The Kathanar's devotees, mostly non-Christians throw in chicken, money and bottles of liquor into the well as mark of respect and gratitude. Kadamattom feast is one of the major festivals observed held during the January – February period. It marks the death anniversary of the legendary priest. There are many a legends of Kadamattathu Kathanar. It is believed that he possessed supernatural powers.
The historic church is in a dilapidated condition and on the verge of collapse. The Kadamattom and Poyyedom churches are in ruins today, because of the fight between the two fractions. Efforts should be made to renovate the church before it goes down in history. The present plight of the church is disgusting…the surroundings are dirty, litter spans all around. Is this the way, the place of God is to be????? Who's to be blamed, Orthodox or Jacobite faction????

It's been a long time coming: After years of playing the lovable George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy, ABC has granted T.R. Knight his wish to leave the show, Grey's sources confirm to PEOPLE.
A show source explains that in addition to feeling his character was not getting juicy enough plot lines, the actor was uncomfortable with the spotlight cast on him as a result of show's success.
"From some 's point of view, T.R. doesn't realize how good he has it being on a hit show and making the money he's making," a source says. "But I don't know that he ever wanted that. He might be better off going and doing theater. Money doesn't matter very much to him, and he likes to lead a private life."
Reps for ABC and the actor had no comment on the news, which was first reported by EW.com.
Chandra Wilson, who is spending her summer as Mama Morton in Broadway's production of Chicago, said she understood the tendency for some cast members to want distance from the Grey's family -- even if she doesn't feel the same way.
"If you're with your family in the house for ten months, all day every day, you're going to have something to say about it, because that's your family," she tells PEOPLE. "Sometimes you want your cousins over; sometimes you want your cousins to get out the way. And that's okay." -- Lisa Ingrassia

text: I can't count the number of people who have assumed that the solar panel on my car is charging the hybrid battery. I've tried to explain to a few what it actually does but they still don't understand & talk about my "solar car". Whatever. So I thought it would be neat to have a "Solar Hybrid" fender emblem made, just like the factory "Plug-In Hybrid" emblem. Anybody else interested in something like this? I have no idea how many we'd have to have made, but it might be a fun little project that could even earn a few bucks for PriusChat. Anyone good with photoshop want to take a crack at making a mock-up photo?

MORRISTOWN — Two pacers are engaged in a heated race in this photo taken Aug. 15, 1914, at the Morristown Driving Park.
Photographer Frederick Curtiss' notes identify "Monte Green" and "J. Kratz." Carolyn Dorsey at the Morristown and Morris Township Library notes that Curtiss might have been identifying the owners of the horses, not the drivers.
According to Dorsey, Morristown Driving Park was located on South Street at the current site of the Seaton Hackney Stables, a facility operated by the Morris County Park Commission near Loantaka Park. The tower at the left still stands at the site.
According to various vintage articles in the New York Times, Morristown Driving Park regularly hosted horse shows and sport shooting matches as well as racing pacers and thoroughbreds.

Created by Ralphie Kabo, Telopea Park School yr 8 Maths class
Version 1.0.2
To use the Pythagoras calculator, enter any two known digits from your Pythagorean problem into the fields at the top. For example, if your "C" value is unknown, and your "A" and "B" values are 5 and 12 respectively, enter 5 and 12 into the first two fields. Then press the "Calculate!" button. The calculator will output the missing "C" value, along with "A2", "B2" and "C2". To do a new sum, just press "New calculation".
Keep in mind that you always have to enter two values, and that you can just as easily set the calculator to figure out "B" or "A" than "C".
Also keep in mind the laws of Pythagoras: the "C" value is always the largest, as the hypotenuse is the longest side.
Just for interest, the formulas I used when building the calculator are:
|Computer language
|Mathematical language
|a2+b2=?2 (finding "C")
|√(no. in field A2 + number in field B2)
|?2+b2=c2 (finding "A")
|√(no. in field C2 - number in field B2)
|a2+?2=c2 (finding "B")
|√(no. in field C2 - number in field A2)
Then there is also some horrible maths to figure out the numbers in the bottom fields, but I won't bother explaining it.

The Jakarta Post
Noted director Hanung Bramantyo says he is now collecting material and recollections of Indonesia's first president, Sukarno, as part of his preparations to shoot a film about the president next year.
Along with Sukarno's daughter, Rachmawati Sukarnoputri, Hanung visited Sukarno's gravesite in Blitar, East Java. After visiting the cemetery, Hanung also visited Sukarno's childhood home.
"I want the young generation to be able to witness and comprehend Sukarno and his struggle for the country's independence," he said, as quoted by tempo.co.
Hanung plans to start shooting the movie in January of next year. The movie, which is temporarily titled The Independence of Indonesia, is slated to screen on Sukarno's birthday on June 6.
