Immunization Office
The Immunization Office is located in Room 114 of the Student Support Services Building (SU-80) south of the Student Union on the Boca campus.To obtain copies of your immunization records you may use the MyHealth Web Portal (https://myhealth.fau.edu).
Immunization Policy
Pursuant to Florida Board of Governors Regulation 6.001(9), prior to registration, each student accepted for admission at Florida Atlantic University must submit a signed FAU Immunization Form. Florida Atlantic University requires documented proof of immunizations to Measles and Rubella. In addition, pursuant to Florida Board of Governors Regulations 6.007, all new matriculating students must also provide documentation of vaccinations against Meningococcal Meningitis and Hepatitis B or provide a signed waiver for each declined vaccination.
Immunization Form
The form consists of four pages and should be read carefully. All students must complete the demographic information at the top of the form and sign in Section D. Students under the age of 18 must also have a parent/guardian sign in Section D. Students born after 1956 must have Sections A and B completed by a physician if official immunization documents are not attached to the form. Students (or their parent/guardian if the student is under the age of 18) must sign in Section B if they do not have documentation of vaccination against Meningococcal Meningitis and/or Hepatitis B and elect to waive either or both of those vaccines.

Some newbie County Board members won, some board veterans lost, and health department brass could lose big under a major committee shakeup.
As I wrote over the weekend, the McHenry County Board Committee on Committees on Friday hashed out committee memberships and recommended chairmanships following the Nov. 6 election.
All 24 seats were up because of post-census redistricting, and the nine new members sworn in Dec. 3 make for the largest freshman class in at least 20 years. The first order of business for the new board was to replace four-term incumbent chairman Ken Koehler with Tina Hill, R-Woodstock.
This made for some big changes for the committees in which most of county government's work is done.
So if the full County Board goes along with the recommended structure – and any changes that Hill decides to make – who wins and who loses?
FEAR AND LOATHING IN THE MCDH: If anybody should be sweating the power shakeup, it's the gaffe-prone leadership of the McHenry County Department of Health across the street from the lawmakers.
The assignment of Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, as chairwoman of the Public Health and Human Services Committee is about an in-the-clear message as Hill can send that she has little interest in further mollycoddling of the health department or tolerating its, shall we say, idiosyncrasies.
If the pairing of Hill's name with the health department sounds familiar, it's because Hill is very closely tied to the ongoing McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuits blaming 33 brain and pituitary tumor cases on air and groundwater pollution from the Rohm and Haas chemical plant in Ringwood. The plaintiffs include her sister and three of her childhood friends.
It's the same alleged cancer cluster that the health department repeatedly maintained does not exist, and whose cancer cluster "study" was exposed as flawed, biased and worthless in a series of award-winning Northwest Herald articles, which also showed that the health department has either routinely ignored or downright declined to share contrary data with the public.
Hill stepped in to force Koehler to seek outside research help, in essence to do the job that she felt the health department botched.
I suspect that the driving force behind appointing Kurtz isn't just McCullom Lake, or even the previous debacle with the health department's mismanagement of Animal Control. It's that the buck stops with Hill.
Every time the County Board has to clean up a health budget mess or some overzealous inspector decides to clamp down on a church picnic or other innocuous activity, she gets the nasty call. When a front-page story appears about "government run amok", such as when the Historical Society Museum was told it had to buy an expensive permit to serve coffee and cookies, it's Hill who has to deal with it.
The quote "government run amok" is from a 2009 story I wrote about health department food regulations. Who said it? Why, Hill did. Make that Chairwoman Hill.
From the point of view of Public Health Administrator Patrick McNulty, it gets worse. Kurtz has made a name for herself wanting to make the health department more accountable, and back in 2009 cited the department's handling of the cancer cluster as one of the reasons why she threw her hat into the ring to run for County Board. What's more, the Nov. 6 election cost the department former public health Chairwoman Virginia Peschke, in whose eyes McNulty could do little wrong.
More ominously, Hill sent another signal Friday that doesn't bode well for health department leadership. Health department employees are in fact hired and fired by the Board of Health. But it's the County Board that appoints the health board, and state law allows county boards to remove the members of appointed boards for "abuse and neglect". Hill let slip during Friday's meeting that she's been talking with the state's attorney's office about what constitutes abuse and neglect.
She didn't refer to any particular board, and she didn't mention it during the talk about the public health committee, but wow. Even if no purge comes, Kurtz's chairmanship comes with a voting seat on the health board.
The health department has been working on something of a free pass from scrutiny in recent years. Its fiercest critic on the board, Rick Klasen, died of a heart attack in 2006 and no one since has taken up his mantle. Until now, perhaps.
In the five years since my first McCullom Lake investigative stories ran, board members have privately told me that they would like to see a health department shakeup, and have expressed frustration that top health department leaders know they are "among friends" with the boards that are supposed to be watching them.
Regardless of what if anything happens, the era of downplaying follies and bad press as, "Well, it's the health department, what do you expect?" may very well be done.
HAMMERAND CORKED: Another glaring change is the removal of John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, as chairman of the Liquor and License Committee.
Hammerand was accused by his fellow committee members, the board at large, and the Northwest Herald's editorial page of intentionally trying to delay a Hebron vineyard's quest to get a class of license created to be able to open a winery.
After seven months, it finally moved out of committee after the three-member majority on the committee essentially staged a coup d'etat and moved it forward.
Koehler, who served as liquor commissioner as chairman (a responsibility now passed on to Hill), will now lead the committee. As a show of no hard feelings, the vice chairmanship goes to Diane Evertsen, R-Harvard, who like Hammerand opposed the winery plan.
UPDATE: Under a modified structure unveiled Dec. 19, the vice chairmanship goes to Robert Nowak, R-Cary, although Evertsen keeps her seat on the committee.
Hammerand keeps his seat on the powerful Finance and Audit Committee. He's the most fiscally conservative member on the County Board, and local governments, quite frankly, need more Hammerands, not fewer.
UPDATE 2: The structure hashed out last week did not put Hammerand in any leadership role, but the Committee on Committees on Wednesday recommended giving him the vice chairmanship of the Management Services Committee.
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK: The sheer number of new members requires something that in the past would be unprecedented - at least two freshman members are in line for chairmanships.
Attorney Mary McClellan, R-Holiday Hills, will chair the Human Resources Committee and take the lead on the elected side in dealing with wages and benefits for union and non-union employees. Former chairman John Jung, R-Woodstock, will shift to head the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.
New board member and McHenry County Farm Bureau President Michele Aavang, R-Woodstock, will head the Natural and Environmental Resources Committee. Former Chairwoman Mary McCann, R-Woodstock, will head the Finance and Audit Committee.
THE CASE OF GOTTEMOLLER V. SCHUSTER: Notice I just wrote that "at least" two County Board freshmen could get chairmanships. There could be a third.
The Committee on Committees suggested that attorney and zoning expert Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake, chair the Planning and Development Committee, with board veteran Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock, getting the vice chairmanship.
Schuster under the plan hashed out Friday has no chairmanship – she lost leading the Management Services Committee to Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills.
However, Kurtz made a plea Friday for members to reconsider and give Schuster the chairmanship, pointing out her subject matter expertise on land use and zoning. Ultimately, the decision will be up to Hill.
Schuster is well-known for asking tough questions and taking a hard line on development, sustainability and land use issues. And as leader of the planning committee, she would be in a real position to do the same with county government's ever-deepening involvement in the HUD home business. To say Schuster wants the county out of the affordable housing business is an understatement.
So Hill's choice boils down to someone who's friendly to development – when (if?) it comes back – and someone who isn't. On one hand, leadership doesn't want obstructionism – the change in Liquor and License looks like a direct message on that. On the other hand, having a few Ersel Schusters on hand when the developers started calling in the 1980s may have meant that Algonquin Township residents today might not be worrying about one day turning on their taps and nothing coming out.
PROVENZANO BLUEPRINTS: The committee also moved Nick Provenzano, R-McHenry, from his chairmanship of the Law and Justice Committee, which he held for a number of terms. Sue Draffkorn, R-Wonder Lake, will slide into that chairmanship, while Provenzano will head the Building Projects Committee. That standing committee is the only one that meets on an as-needed basis, when county government wants to build something, hence the name.
With crowding at the state's attorney's office and the Veteran's Assistance Commission, the committee might get some work in the near future.
SPEAKING OF MCCULLOM LAKE: It was five years ago tomorrow that my first article ran showing just how badly the health department bungled the brain cancer investigation.
It was five years ago next month that health officials and the health board in a drooling, snarling fit screamed about how inaccurate my stories were.
In five years, they haven't produced squat to back their claim.
Accuracy is important to me. Don't make me wait a whole decade, boys and girls. Either back it up or admit you chewed my rear end to save all of yours.
MY BAD: Now that I've pumped up my credentials, I need to be humbled for a boo-boo I made in Saturday's story.
I incorrectly wrote that the folks who live on non-dedicated roads want more motor fuel tax. What they want is for their road and bridge tax funds that they pay to go toward maintaining their roads, just like municipal and township residents get.
A lot of these homeowners pay the taxes but don't see any of that money come back.
My apologies to the concerned taxpayers.

By Helena Rodriguez: Local columnist
It's time we get to the bottom of that age-old question that has haunted men for centuries.
Notice I didn't say women. That's because we women already have all the answers.
That age-old question is: What exactly do women do in the bathroom? Why do we go together in mafia gangs, armed with lipstick and face powder? Why do we stay in there a long time? And why do we come out laughing or crying?
When I worked for the Abilene Reporter-News in Texas, my newsroom colleagues were searching one morning for our missing photographer, Nellie.
"Oh, she's lying down on the couch in the bathroom," I replied.
I had just come out of the ladies room, half-asleep myself, and was stunned to see her sprawled across the couch when I went into the bathroom to check my makeup in the wall-sized mirror that ran above the wall-length vanity. Nellie must have been taking too many pictures the night before, or perhaps drinking too many pitchers.
"Ya'll have a couch in the ladies room?" A reporter named Brien Murphy asked.
"Yeah," I responded. "Don't you guys have a couch in your bathroom, too?" And Brien shakes his head no. To annoy him, I said we also had scented candles and lockers, which we did, but then I teasingly added that we also had a hot tub and a massage bench. Now this may not be too far from the truth in some women's bathrooms.
At my place of employment now, the Portales News-Tribune, we have a colorful spray of artificial flowers in the ladies room along with not one, but two types of hand moisturizers: Vaseline Intensive Care and something called "skin milk." I was informed by our secretary, Vickie, that men here are not afforded the same luxuries. She mumbled something or another about them not getting extra amenities because they always miss their target.
Growing up, my aunt Paula, who is only two years older than me, would always ask my sister Becky and I to go with her and her friends to the bathroom and then our friends would follow along, too. Even when I got older, my friends and I would go to nightclubs and all head to the ladies room in a gang where we would meet other gangs of women. It was like a pantyhose convention.
One bathroom really took the cake. In Yucatan, Mexico, two summers ago, we were at Playa del Carmen and I'm in the ladies room when a woman walks in and starts unlocking all kinds of cabinets underneath the wall-length vanity. She pulls out everything you could possibly imagine a woman could need while out partying on the beach — hairspray, aspirin, perfume, pantyhose, hairbrushes, mascara, mints, nail polish, deodorant, tampons, sewing kits, disposable shavers — it was a convenience store inside of the ladies room.
Like the "Calgon, take me away" commercial, the ladies room has become a means of escape for us women, sometimes an escape from the smoke and loud music, sometimes it's in search of other intelligent lifeforms out there to discuss important matters like: "Should I put my hair up in a clip, part it to the other side, or leave it down?"
Actually, there are some very important things going on in the ladies room. As a matter of fact, many ladies rooms come equipped with blackboards where we gather around appointed coaches who map out gameplans for us, defensive or offensive strategies, depending on the situation, and they also offer tackling techniques.
I've actually seen a few good fights in the ladies room, too, and sometimes we even have belching and burping contests.
In some cases, women slap each other's behinds. Sometimes a woman gets slapped a little too hard, and so she comes out of the bathroom in tears. It really has nothing to do with her and her boyfriend making up or breaking up, but for the sake of protecting our treasured little getaway, that's our story and we're sticking to it.

If you enjoy watching ski jumpers fly off crazy high jumps, then this is the weekend to be in Westby.
Saturday was the second and final day of this year's Snowflake Ski Jumping Tournament.
About 30 ski jumpers from around the world took off at speeds up to 60 miles-per hour -down a 450 foot hill.
The event draws in thousands of spectators and takes hundreds of volunteers to make sure the course is ready to go.
Last night's snowfall created a little bit of last minute work this morning, but organizers say it didn't stop the event from being another huge success.
"It hampered a little bit because it took the hill crew (a little bit) to get the hill ready so we didn't get much jumping before opening ceremonies, but everything is ready to go and we're going to have some really great jumps and a great afternoon of ski jumping," said Scott Yttri of the Snowflake Ski Club.
The tournament has been a tradition in Westby for the past 90 years, which is why it's no surprise that it has spawned some other traditions in the community.
Ski Jumpers from all over the world have traveled thousands of miles to get to Westby for the tournament.
While the Norway team may be far away from home, having a local family open their homes to them is making the experience that much more special.
The Snowflake Ski Jump tournament in Westby is something the coach from Norway, Stig Fredheim has looked forward to all year long.
"In Norway, it's not that many people on the hills, so not many spectators, and so it's a lot more fun here," said Fredheim.
And besides the extra cheering and loud cow bells, something else Fredheim looks forward to is having a comfortable place to relax.
"We usually stay in hotels back home, so that's a big difference too, but I think it's awesome," said Fredheim.
As part of the tournament tradition, all of the skiers from around the world are paired up with host families living in the area.
For some of these skiers, it's their first trip to America.
"It's big," said one of the skiers.
But this Fredheim's second year staying with the same family.
"Mostly I remember it as the cat house," said Fredheim. "That's what we speak on it back home, but it's really good though. We like it. Love pets."
Dan and Karen Ellefson and their many cats are opening up their home to provide the skiers a place to sleep and eat. It's a home away from home free of charge.
They've done this for the past 10 years? Maybe 11. It's a little hard to remember.
"We've had Finland the Americans stay here, and Norwegians like four years I think?" said Karen. "Seven years," said Dan. "We try to go year after year and say, 'ok who did we have that year?'"
Its a chance for the Ellefsons to make new international friends around a sport they love, especially for Dan who was a ski jumper back in the day.
"Once you get older, it hurts a little more once you fall."
"Dan is kind of our inside man when we're here because he knows everything about the hill and how the hill is, and the tracks and everything," said Fredheim.

Well, now he's 4 weeks old and is gaining amazingly well. I've been letting him sleep up to 4 hours overnight (although he usually wants to eat more often than that), but sometimes he just doesn't seem to be hungry then. When is it ok for me to just let him wake up when he feels like it? We don't have another dr's appt for a month, and it's really hard to get in, so I can't just ask her. Thanks in advance.

Hands off private enterprise
The city should not compete with private sector recyclers
By Warren Swil 04/25/2013
The almost year-long moratorium on new privately operated recycling centers in Pasadena is wrongheaded and misguided.
The planet is warming — faster than anyone predicted. Our Earth cannot wait almost a year for action, however small it may be.
We need it yesterday.
As reported April 17 by André Coleman in the Pasadena Weekly, the Pasadena City Council voted April 8 to extend a previous six-week ban on new private recycling centers by almost a year.
The ordinance was adopted as a matter of urgency, because the city had concluded "… that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare …"
This doesn't square with the reason given to the Weekly by a member of the City Council. He cited the need for a "study."
Councilman Victor Gordo reportedly said, "This is simply a review …" of the issues surrounding the centers — including crime.
How many more "studies" are needed before we all become toast?
You need go no further than the Weekly of Aug. 16, 2012 to find the answer. In "The Heat Is On," reporter Logan Nakyanzi Pollard tells us of a recent research project on climate change in the Los Angeles region by researchers at UCLA's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.
According to the study, "Mid-Century Warming in the Los Angeles Region," in 30 to 40 years Pasadena will be warmer — much warmer!
"We find that by the mid-21st century, the most likely warming [in the Los Angeles area] is roughly 4.6 degrees [Fahrenheit] averaged over the region's land areas," the study concludes.
If you think that's not much, it's huge.
Just consider this: Your body temperature is normally at about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If it rises to 99 degrees, you feel a bit off, maybe stay home from work or school. If it goes to 100, you take lots of medication and lie in bed aching and sweating.
At 102, you're on your way to the emergency room.
Our planet is the same way. Its average temperature is between about 57 and 59 degrees. If the average rises just four degrees, that is a 6 percent increase.
The rise in sea level alone — although it might not create beachfront property on Colorado Boulevard — would be devastating.
The 100-year wind events like the one we experienced in November 2011 would come every 20 years. Drought would be extreme; so would floods.
Many scientists believe we already are at the tipping point. Soon, if it's not yet too late, the rise in global average temperature will become irreversible.
And Councilman Gordo thinks it's OK to wait another year for more recycling centers in Pasadena?
One of the issues Gordo wants the city to study is the incidence of crime in the neighborhoods surrounding the private recycling centers.
According to the Weekly, a mere 47 calls to police were made about petty misdemeanors at two of the centers since 2010. That's just 15 per year.
The city's population (not counting Altadena and other nearby municipalities) is about 138,000.
Do the math.
Does crime near recycling centers sound like a problem?
Some reportedly believe the city is trying — by extending the ban — to do an end run around the private entrepreneurs who currently pay cash for recyclables and do so at a profit.
By putting them out of business, the city may add significantly to the $340,000 it made last year out of its curbside recycling program.
This would be unconscionable.
The city has absolutely no business competing in any way with private enterprise. In fact, the reverse is true: It should be doing everything it can to encourage it, especially when the benefits are so apparent, both locally and globally.
Let's hope the council comes to its senses and lifts — or at the very least, shortens — the moratorium.

It Took Eight Years but this Father/Son Project Was Worth Every Minute.
Benny Stevenson is a self-taught mechanic and custom fabricator, in business for 35 years. Benny owns PDQ Automotive in Bushnell, Florida, specializing in building hot rods, car trailers, and fabrication. This '53 F-100 has been an eight-year, father/son project built with his son Beau, working after hours when customer rides were complete. Beau has been building and racing cars with his dad all his life and says this build is the best so far. He learned from his dad that when building a special vehicle, patience is the key. "When you're constructing something like this and you hit a stopping point," Benny told us, "it's best to simply stop rather than try to hurry the job. I wasn't in any rush to drive the vehicle. I wanted it to be the way I envisioned it in my mind. If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I would change anything."
They found this truck on a farm in Ocala, Florida and it was completely disassembled. Anything that could be taken apart was and parts were scattered in the dirt inside an old barn. To give you an idea of its condition, they got the truck for free, just for hauling it away. Over the years, they acquired three additional trucks as donor vehicles before the build was complete. The theme was simple. It would be "All Ford and All Steel."
The restoration process began with the chassis, boxing the original 1953 frame and welding shut every unnecessary hole. Fitted with a custom back half, the truck uses a Chassis Works four-link/coil over set up to hold the Lincoln Versailles 9-inch rear along with a Fatman Fabrication Mustang II independent front end. All four corners boast disk brakes with 11-inch rotors, stabilized with adjustable QA1 coil overs. The carefully chosen wheels are Centerline Convo Pros, 15×8 up front with 255/60R15 rubber. The huge 15×16 rims in the rear, wrapped in Mickey Thompson 33-19.50/15 rubber were an indicator of things to come. Once the suspension components were in place, the frame was given the same attention as the exterior with hand sanding, priming, and painting.
Power is essential in any specialty vehicle and this vintage Ford has power to burn, thanks to the big-block 460 V-8 sourced from a '68 Lincoln MK IV and bored to 557ci. All the internals are new beginning with an Eagle crank and rods, JE pistons, Comp cam, and Trick Flow heads. Deep breathing begins with the PROFORM 850 CFM carb on a Weiand Stealth dual plane intake. MSD ignition components provide precisely timed explosions and exhaust scavenging is expedited thanks to 2.5-inch ceramic-coated Rewarder Custom Headers feeding dual Flowmaster mufflers. A Griffin radiator and dual electric fans keep temperatures in the green. "Running hot was not something we wanted to mess with," Beau told us. On the dyno, the highly modified package creates close to 800 hp on CAM2 racing fuel. Multiplying the power is a C6 trans, upgraded with a B&M Hole Shot converter, shift kit, and additional performance internals. The Lincoln 9-inch handles the power and the Detroit locker with Moser axles ensures twin black streaks on the asphalt when Benny or Beau hit the loud pedal.
Body work began by reassembling the scattered pieces. From the cab forward, the truck retains most of its original Ford dimensions but there are lots of subtle changes. The cowl vent and seams were welded shut, door handles and drip rails were eliminated, one-piece door glass installed, and the gas filler was moved to the bed. A special touch is the new split rear window, using a second donor cab. They cut the rear windows out, swapped sides, and created the unique split window. The original bed was too far gone so a new one was fabricated from sheet metal, designed 10 inches longer than stock for aesthetics and to accommodate the 40-gallon fuel cell, mounted behind the rear axle for weight distribution. The extra length makes a distinctive change to the Ford's profile and the rear is accented with reworked Corvette bumpers, meticulously contoured to fit. The tailgate uses polished stainless steel inside to create a mirror finish. Outside, the Ford script was cut from a donor '36 Ford pickup, then molded into the '53 tailgate. Each of the rear fenders is actually a pair of OEM fenders, joined together to cover the steamroller-wide rear tires that almost qualify for separate ZIP codes. The Stevenson's chose to "tub out" rather than in, adding to the aggressive look of the truck. To accommodate the new wider rear fenders, the expanded running boards were created from a single piece of sheet metal. Modern LED taillights and a center brake light continue the new millennium updates.
The interior is beautifully done, featuring BMW power bucket seats and a hand built center console and door panels, stitched by Street Seats in New Port Richey. The camel colored leather is glove soft, pampering the occupants. An Auto Meter Cobalt gauge cluster resides in a custom ball-milled aluminum panel, stretched 4 inches, then chromed. A three-inch panel was added to the bottom of the dash for aesthetics and to conceal the Vintage Air, A/C components. Welding the ashtray and glove box shut and eliminating knobs cleaned up the dash while the Speedway steering wheel on an ididit column keeps the driver in close touch. Hot trucks need cool tunes and the stereo system begins with a Panasonic touch screen/CD player in the dash, feeding 6.5-inch Kicker component sets in the kick panels, 4×6 versions in the rear quarters, and a single Kicker 12-inch L7 sub in the center console. A pair of 2000 watt, Kicker amps are inset into the rear cab wall. The system looks good and sounds even better.
The perfect finishing touch was spraying the lustrous House of Kolor Cobalt Blue. What does this father-son team do now that the eight year "All Ford, All Steel" build is over? "Besides looking at it a lot," Benny said smiling, "Beau and I take it to car shows and we enjoy sharing the experience." Great trucks don't occur in a vacuum. The Stevensons would like to send special thanks to engine builder Robert Lizzi, Tony Spagna for his sheet metal work, Glenn Webster for chassis setup, and Jimmy for initial bodywork and alignment.

Freedom New Mexico
KINGSVILLE, Texas — Junior guard Stefan Mirabal had four 3-pointers and finished with 20 points Wednesday night and Eastern New Mexico University's men closed in on a Lone Star Conference tournament berth with an 86-77 LSC South victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville.
The Greyhounds (13-12, 8-5 South) remained in a three-way tie for second place with West Texas A&M and Midwestern State, and host WT in Saturday's 8 p.m. regular-season finale at Greyhound Arena.
The Buffaloes defeated Incarnate Word 81-71 while Midwestern State thumped Angelo State 83-59 on Wednesday, knocking the Rams (11-14, 7-6) into fifth place in the South. The only way the Hounds won't earn one of the division's four spots in next week's tournament is if they lose to WT and Angelo beats division champion Tarleton State at home on Saturday.
Senior forward Tyler Jefferson and junior forward Aaron Edwards each added 18 points for the Hounds. Jefferson went 6-for-6 from both the field and the free throw line before fouling out late and also had a team-high nine rebounds, while Edwards shot 3-for-3 from 3-point range and added eight boards.
Kingsville got 23 points from guard Adam Morris, who went 5-for-10 from 3-point range to lead five Javelinas in double figures. Guard Marcus Ford added 16 points, while forward Ryan Wallace had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Ford hit a pair of 3-pointers to give Kingsville (8-17, 4-9) a 6-0 lead just over three minutes into the game, but the Hounds countered with a 10-2 run. The Javs took a pair of short-lived leads later in the half, but Mirabal's 3-pointer with 6:13 to go broke a 26-26 tie and gave the Hounds the lead for good.
They finished the half on a 17-6 run and led 43-32 at the break.
Jefferson scored a layup and assisted on a 3-pointer by Mirabal to make it a 16-point game early in the second half, and another 3-pointer by Mirabal made it 53-35 with 16:09 to go.
Morris capped a 12-2 surge with a 3-pointer that chopped the Javs' deficit to 56-49 with 10:36 to go, but they couldn't get any closer until Phillip Belford's 3-pointer made it 80-74 with 1:14 left.
Two free throws by Kingsville guard Antwan Mullins cut it to 81-76 with a minute remaining, but the Hounds salted it away with five free throws in the remaining time.

Our Pin to Win: Michigan in Love contest was launched in February when we asked fans to create a Pinterest board that represented what an ideal romantic getaway looked like to them. We received a ton of great submissions, but ultimately selected Megan Battaglia of Buffalo, New York randomly as the winner. Megan immediately began planning a romantic getaway for her and her husband to take to Mackinac Island (and beyond!), which they enjoyed last month.
Today Megan tells us about their magical voyage around the state, their favorite stops along the way and even mentions needing to make some return trips to the state in the future!
Read from her below and visit michigan.org to learn more about Michigan vacation destinations.
My husband and I have just returned from our Pure Michigan Romantic Getaway – 2 days in Mackinac Island at Grand Hotel, round trip air from American Airlines, and a Buick rental car. We did the best we could to explore as much of western and northern Michigan as we could and here is how we did:
Day 1
Our first stop in our luxurious Buick Enclave was the Pure Michigan information center in New Buffalo where we grabbed maps and guides for all the beach towns we planned to visit as we drove up the west coast of Michigan.
Next stop, Holland. Beautiful town, plenty of shops and restaurants. We decided to have lunch at the New Holland Brewing Co. and sample some of their craft beers. We then visited the Windmill Island Gardens and toured DeZwann – the only authentic working Dutch windmill in the US! Next, onto Grand Haven where we visited the lighthouse and pier and walked the 2 ½ mile boardwalk which was lined with shops, restaurants, marinas, and shady benches to sit and enjoy the view.
After driving through other beautiful beach towns like Muskegon and Ludington, we finally arrived in Mackinaw City just in time for the sunset and to see the lights on the bridge. We stayed at a beautiful little motel "American Boutique Inn" right next to a waterfront park with a view of the bridge.
Day 2
Finally, onto Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel! The town is like a scene from a movie set. Right away you notice the pace slows, people riding bikes, horse drawn carriages clop by, fudge shops offering free samples outside (it is ALL about the fudge here so we decided it was our "duty" to taste as many as we could). After shopping in town, we took Grand Hotel's carriage up to the hotel to check in. Our driver was a year round resident of the island and shared some fascinating stories about life on the island. As we pulled up to the hotel it was as grand and welcoming as all the pictures you see! We were greeted with smiles and given a quick orientation to all Grand Hotel has to offer. Our room was breathtaking – blue and green with beautiful antiques and a patio looking out over the lake. We were welcomed with a basket of champagne, roses, cheese, fruit and of course, fudge!
We then decided to tour the grounds of the hotel to learn as much as we could about this amazing place. We had ice cream at the new Sadie's Ice Cream Parlor, visited the shops at the hotel, toured the flower gardens and the Esther Williams pool, walked the labyrinth, checked out the golf course, the Jockey Club and the Gate House restaurants, stopped in at Grand Hotel Outlet Store where they sell discontinued items from the hotel (the manager of the store is a wealth of knowledge about the hotel and the island!) Finally, we settled on the porch (the longest front porch in the US and is as amazing as you would expect with magnificent views of the lake and gardens) for cocktails and then headed in for a wonderful dinner.
Day 3
The next day, we thought we would like to see more of the island and learn more of its history so the concierge at Grand Hotel set us up with our own private horse and carriage tour. Our tour guide took us along the shore up into the state park, to Arch Rock and Fort Mackinac – it was all beautiful and fascinating!
That night, as another part of our prize package, we enjoyed dinner at the Woods Restaurant which is a short horse-drawn carriage ride into the wooded interior of Mackinac Island. The restaurant is in a beautiful, warm, and cozy Tudor mansion and serving Bavarian style food. After dinner we enjoyed drinks in the Audubon Wine Room back at Grand Hotel.
I have to admit we were sad to leave the next day! We did the best we could to take advantage of all Grand Hotel has to offer but we definitely need to come back to spend some more time here! I am already perusing the fall specials!
Day 4
We were back in our beautiful Buick and onto another road trip day! We headed straight down from Mackinaw City to Route 119 and the Tunnel of Trees, a 20 mile one lane road under a canopy of trees along Lake Michigan. It was everything I dreamt it would be! Along the way we stopped at the 70 year-old Good Hart General Store with absolutely amazing homemade baked goods, deli items and famous chicken pot pies.
From there we drove through Harbor Springs, Petoskey and Bay Harbor on our way to our final stop – Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula.
Day 5
Today we toured the Leelanau Peninsula by the way of scenic highway, M22. Our stops included:
- Glen Arbor (beautiful beaches and home to the Cherry Republic Store and deli! Here it is all about the CHERRIES and we enjoyed them in every form they had!)
- Empire (one of the best public beaches I have ever seen!)
- Leland and Fishtown (ate at the Cove Restaurant perched right above the waterfall and looking down over the shops in Fishtown)
- Wineries along M22 (including Chateau de Leelanau Vineyard, Black Star Farms, Good Neighbor Organic Vineyard, and Good Harbor Vineyards – there are so many more and another wine trail along the Old Mission Peninsula)
- Suttons Bay (beautiful historic village with gorgeous views of the lake)
Day 6
For our last day, we saved the awe inspiring Sleeping Bear Dunes. This area has fascinated me since I learned a few years back that it had been voted the most beautiful place in America and it truly lives up to its name. Sleeping Bear Dunes is a 35-mile stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline with immense sand dunes sculpted by years of wind and water.
Our trip has come to an end and here are some of the things we learned:
- Everyone we met in Michigan was kind to us
- Everyone we met also dreamed of staying at Grand Hotel
- Lake Michigan is a vast, pure, and beautiful lake. The colors of the lake in some spots look like the Caribbean (turquoise, teal and navy blue) Now, I understand the T-shirt slogan "Lake Michigan Unsalted" – it looks like an ocean!
- Northern Michigan's wines are delicious and rival those of any other state
- The beaches of western and northern Michigan are some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen
- We need MANY trips back to discover more. I don't think we even scratched the surface of all there is to see and do.
- I have become a "Pure Michigan Ambassador" and thanks to this wonderful prize trip, I have peaked the interest of so many people who have never thought of Michigan as a vacation spot – and many of them are already planning their trips to Michigan!
Thank you Pure Michigan, Grand Hotel, American Airlines and Buick for the trip of a lifetime – and we will be back!
Congrats again to Megan on being the winner of our Pinterest contest! We are thrilled that she and her husband enjoyed their trip to Michigan.

text: One of my husband's co-workers and his wife have a 5 month old daughter that is very tiny. The doctor is very worried because she has not doubled her birth weight and is now refusing formula. I think failure to thrive was mentioned. She is a little under 11 lbs now and was 6 lbs 6 oz when she was born. The doctor suggested trying to relactate and/or using donor milk. The mom is on the fence about donor milk but is going to try to relactate. She called me asking for help. I read the chapter about inducing lactation in the BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK and gave her the information. She has never breastfed and this is her 3rd child. I did tell her that it will take dedication on her part and she is willing to put forth the effort even if she doesn't get a full supply. She is getting a Medela PISA tonight to start pumping. She has tried to put her baby to her breast once but it was when the baby was fussy and didn't go well. She has been taking bottles since birth but does not take them well. I thought about suggesting she quit bottles and use a spoon, cup or syringe. Should she use an SNS? I suggested power pumping once at night and once in the morning. Is it realistic that she can get a full supply or at least some supply after 5 mths? I know adoptive mothers have breastfed but was that with Rx medicines? Her pediatrician said she would prescribe anything needed to help relactate. I suggested the pumping and putting her baby to her breast as much as possible to start and told her to look into some herbal remedys first.

Domestic violence continues to be a growing problem in the La Crosse community, but Friday night hundreds of men and women are taking a stand one pair of red high heels at a time.
About 200 people put on a pair of heels to participate in the 4th annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event. The heels represent the pain women go through in situations of domestic violence.
For one survivor, she said it's this kind support that helps gets the community one step closer to ending domestic violence.
"Nothing represents a woman better than a pair of heels," said Kim Salwolke, a committee member for the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event.
The walk supports two organizations working to help victims of domestic violence. One of them, the Gundersen Medical Foundation's Carilee Fund, holds a personal place in her heart.
"It's named after Carilee," said Salwolke. "She was a victim of domestic violence and she was my mom."
It's not the easiest subject for her to talk about, even more than 20 years after losing one of the people she loved most.
"My father was an abusive person, and one day it turned violent and she couldn't survive," said Salwolke. "I want other people to see themselves (and) to get out before it gets to that point and to get out safely."
La Crosse's New Horizons Shelter and Outreach Center's assistant director Amanda Dotson said they're serving more victims of domestic violence.
"We served 252 men women and children in shelter last year," said Dotson. "We will probably get to about 300 this year."
Dotson said that's just the people coming forward for help. She said the stigma attached to domestic violence is one of the things keeping victims in hiding. She adds victims often don't have the resources to live on their own and the person abusing them is often someone they know.
"If you're a victim of domestic violence, you're not seen as somebody who should be helped," said Dotson. "We're a community, and so we need to take care of each other and to know that violence in any form isn't OK. Domestic violence isn't OK."
Salwolke hopes by sharing her story and promoting events like this one, an end to domestic violence will come soon.
"(It won't end) until everyone is OK coming forward to get help," said Salwolke. "Unfortunately, it's going to go on for a while, but we can help as many as we can."
The Gundersen Medical Foundation's Carilee Fund started in 2005. The fund helps hundreds of victims of domestic violence every year with financial assistance for things including rent, child care and legal help.
Money raised from the walk will also go to help the Y.W.C.A.

CANTON — It was quite the poignant scene, with Upper Arlington senior Jenny Smith giving the Cincinnati Ursuline 400-yard freestyle relay team an assist to the top step of the podium last night at packed Branin Natatorium.
Smith smiled as she gave each of the four a lift as they stepped past the other three members of the UA relay team on step No. 2. It was the second straight year the team standings ended that way at the Division I state girls swimming meet.
The Upper Arlington girls had won eight straight state titles before Ursuline stepped past them a year ago. The final score last night was 281-264.
"I love my teammates, they're my best friends," Smith said, putting things in perspective. Finishing second "is not what we wanted, but we'll take it."
They had put themselves in position to challenge by turning in a state-record performance in the 200-yard freestyle relay an hour earlier, Smith anchoring a foursome that included juniors Gracie Long, Alexandra Hedden and Grace Van Fossen that finished in 1:33.87. They defeated Ursuline by nine hundredths of a second, cutting Ursuline's lead to four points at the time.
But when Emily Sable followed with a victory for Ursuline in the 100 backstroke, a category in which UA had no swimmer in the top 16, the Golden Bears needed a victory in the last race and calamity by Ursuline to regain the team championship. Neither happened.
Cincinnati Xavier won the boys title for the sixth straight year, topping Toledo St. Francis DeSales 255-238, and Dublin Coffman was the highest finishing central Ohio team at eighth. But along the way, Smith and several other area swimmers left their mark:
• Senior Thomas Trace of Upper Arlington laid claim to being the fastest high school swimmer in the state, if only for a night, after winning the boys 50 freestyle in 20.61 seconds.
"I was pretty disappointed with my swim yesterday (in the prelims), so coming into today, I just had to think 'This is my race. I've got to own it,' " Trace said. He added, "It was the best of my season, the best of my career."
He was second in the men's 100 backstroke.
• Westerville North junior Mason Miller rolled to a dominant victory in the 100-yard butterfly, with a time of 48.32 seconds, and finished third in the 100 freestyle 20 minutes later.
• Junior Kaylee Witkiewicz of Thomas Worthington was on the meet-opening 200 medley relay team that finished second to Ursuline, and she came back to finish third in the 50 freestyle, two spots better than the previous year.
"Next year, first?" she said, smiling.
Long, who was second in the 100 freestyle and fourth in the 200 freestyle, also will have another shot next year for Upper Arlington. But for her teammate, Smith, last night was it.
"This was my last high-school meet, and one of the more memorable," Smith said.
Along with taking part in those relays, she was second in the 200 individual medley and third in the 500 freestyle. It was a grueling night, but also a last chance to excel.
"I hadn't done very well the previous three years," Smith said. "This is a nice way to finish it."

Peptide sequence KKRFSFKKSFKL is derived from amino acid residues 154 165 of myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein phosphorylation site domain (PSD). It retains the first two of the four serine residues in the PSD. This peptide is proven to be a generic substrate for protein kinase C (including PKCα and β, naturally-occurring PKC δ, ε, and θ, as well as atypical PKC ξ) at Ser5 and Ser9, even though atypical PKCs do not utilize intact MARCKS as a substrate.

$1 million donated to Gundersen Lutheran
Gundersen Lutheran received a $1 million donation to help treat teens with mental health needs.
Dr. David and Sacia Morris made the donation.
Their name is now the title of Gundersen Lutheran's new adolescent behavioral health unit.
The hospital held a ceremony honoring the couple on Saturday.
The Morris' say they are happy to be able to help provide care for teens in our area.
"We think it's extremely important that there's help for adolescents," Sacia said. "Before this, they would have to go many miles away from their families and so on and now there's this beautiful facility with wonderful doctors and nurses that can help them and we're more than happy that we can do something to help."
Gundersen Lutheran is one of the only hospitals in the tri-state area with an inpatient unit for teens.

Well Gallant Ted,
You adverted, PS Fur cote fer sale. Apply within. No time waisters please.
If your are selling a fur coat, then it will never by definition be thread bare, will it? Although for sooth a bear may be bare by consequence.
Is this a thread in which to bare it all? I hope not. But if baudy talk is involved, then you will find me in a techy mood if not a techy one!

P.S. Are you a fan of the Katzenjammer Kids?

Dear cestx,
I used to walk by a local art shop that featured changing displays by a variety of artists that always had a red neon sign in the window that spelled out 'ART.' I would remark to my mate that, "I don't know what I like, but I know art when I see it!" Sometimes taboo topics appear in veiled form. This can be quite erotic in effect. Why else would there be seven veils in the "Dance of the Seven Veils?"
What follows is not my effort, but a poem that a friend of a friend wrote to commemorate a social occasion. I found it oddly arousing. Since you are an expert on such matters can you tell me if it strikes you as an artfully disguised erotic poem? The format is not exactly the same as in the original due to the limitations on format in this forum. Poems sometimes strongly depend upon format for the full effect and this is one of that sort to some degree. Indentations for instance are lost here so I substituted dashes ('-') for what were spaces in the original.
When Bear Boils Beans For A Blessing
A Commemoration of the Lair Blessing
A twin, named Bear,
--sautéed onions and celery stalk
--simmered carrots and added garlic to the lot.
She sprinkled earth's green aromas,
--coaxed softening lentils,
--uncorked a litre and sedentary was not.
Guests arrived anticipating,
--merry and willing with naive bowls eager.
Her cherub face smiled in greeting,
--"Please step over the ants and then, dear guest, sign my register."
All could see the move-in neatly,
--the Magi especially agreed,
--this lair was Bear's and blessed it sweetly.
Time bubbled the savory slurry suggestive,
--wafting steamy tentacles to near-by nostrils,
--the lentil soup was finally done!
Heads lowered, and a fine grace was said,
Bowls filled again and, yet, again
--as every corner voiced a ubiquitous "yum,"
Guests soon viewed a bare-bottomed pot, asking,
--"into what now does my good bread sop?"
Perplexed were they,
--empty bowl, empty pot.
"Please pass the wine and let us talk."
And, talk they did with celebration and glee
--as the evening darkened
--the verbal veered
--a mystery grew
Was it Tongues, the Vin or Latin mit Jabberwocky?
A caution conceded
--for when Bear boils beans for a Blessing,
--the grape finds glass and bowl promising.
The gig is up,
the mystery answered:
--Bear's soup bares more than beans
--She Spikes The Pot!

Dear Chief One,
What about those of us who would like to break into the public speaking vocation? I lost my fear of public utterance shortly after I ran for public office. Without going into the particulars, I found this context so engaging that I even scheduled a big training session on my birthday and didn't even notice that fact until later.
As for qualifications some people say I have a way with words. My take on this is that they have a way with me!

Dear Windy,
How do you think that we could achieve that great or little break? Where are all the eager consumers of our verbiage in its various modes for instance? And after they see all the tripe offered up herein why would they even venture to seek the services of any of these naive word children?
In some puzzlement,

I'm afraid my last contribution to the Listening Project blog will be kind of a cop out. At the end of the year all of the Student Arts Fund grant recipients are expected to submit some kind of report, so I'd like to share mine. First of all, I'd like to prove that I did, indeed, write one, but I'd also like to share some of my culminating thoughts. This is also such a lame way to say goodbye that, really, it can't possibly be goodbye, and I sincerely mean what I say at the end of the report that follows:
The Listening Project never meant to last as long or reach as many as it did. It began as a relatively modest undertaking with a simple goal: get Haverford students to tell stories about Haverford. The idea was to create a new forum (and method) to discuss our experiences at Haverford. We placed four tape recorders in four different locations around campus and invited students to interview each other using a list of questions we had put together as a jumping-off point.
The key to the success of all this was, of course, people. The year started with a search for student volunteers, with focus groups to discuss the structure of the Listening Project. We held a pre-recording event to discuss the interview format; we can approach the role of the interlocutor from many different angles. The semester culminated in a "broadcast" of a compilation of clips (over a delicious pizza dinner).
The paragraphs above detail the intended trajectory of the Listening Project: a success! The paragraphs below detail the continued momentum of the project: a surprise!
As the Listening Project began to advertise to the general student population toward the middle of the fall semester, the Alumni Relations Office also took note – and interest. In collaboration with the Alumni Office, the Listening Project put on an event for a group of alumni as well, playing some clips from the broadcast, and ultimately inviting the alumni to record some of their own memories of Haverford. (We may or may not have snagged a word with one Stephen G. Emerson, class of 1974.)
This moment of outreach taught us what a valuable tool the Listening Project could be, and in the spring, the LP contributed to the "In/Visible: Disability and the Arts" symposium. Conducting a series of directed interviews, we collected stories from students about their experiences with accessibility on campus and used them to create a guided "walking tour" similar to a museum-style audio tour, along with a print guide full of transcripts and other helpful information.
We ended up with many more tapes than we had expected and the beginning of the year and many more hours of stories than we could possibly share, but believe us when we say they are stunning. In true Haverford fashion, many participants found themselves in deep analytical discussions, while others shared amusing anecdotes and vignettes of life on campus. We are currently in the process of digitizing the rest of these recordings and organizing the tapes into an archival library for the Haverford community (and radio station!) to enjoy for what we hope is many years to come.
P.S. I'm currently exploring the possibility of making the original broadcast available on here. (If that happens, this clearly will not be my last post…)
P.P.S. All original LP recordings can be found in mp3 form on the storage server in a users folder called "listening."
P.P.P.S. For future generations…

when i was in high school, i had a poster of the Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus on my wall. my mom promptly tore it down because it featured the bare bottom of a naked hottie.
i ripped a bible in half in retaliation. i think she is still in shock from that.
ironic that she left the metallica poster untouched.

This blog is soooooo funny and always right on !
Please do a post about how Korean moms HATE the sun, yell at their daughters (especially) to stay out of the sun, carry embarassing parasols, and wear those ridiculous hats in the summer !

^ I was just going to suggest doing a post about those awful welding-mask visors that Korean moms wear.. you know, the see-through ones you can flip down in order to shield yourself from the sun's death rays.
Geez, we also have a gigantic portrait of Jesus looking down on all the sofas in our living room. You know, this one:
Extremely disconcerting when my boyfriend comes over for some movie time and gropes my boob under His watchful stare.

I grew up with a glow in the dark virgin mary that stared at me all night long. She was scarier spookier more ghostlier than any giant jesus. I grew up catholic so we had a thing for the VIRGIN mary as well as Jesus. Of course, having a cross made of diamonds around her neck was fine. Giant grisly crucifix above the mantle was our thing. Blood dripping down and nails in the hands. The whole gruesome nine yards. Totally appropriate for young children doncha think?

Once, my mom told me it's not okay to date white guys with blonde hair, but it's okay to date guys with brown hair because "that's like Jesus".
She pretended not to listen when I pointed out that Jesus probably looked like the average Arabic man, since he was from the Middle East area and all.

Don't forget all the Korean moms who are Catholic (like mine). You get the double-whammy with Jesus and HIS mom. Mary statues, busts, and little photos everywhere...

dude, i had a HUGE Jesus CARPET hanging on our wall. i think it was like 8x10 and it was made of velvet. i heart Jesus and all but it was so embarrassing to bring my friends over as a child.
- August 20, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Don't know where my KM found it but one day, another huge "picture" of Jesus entered our house. But truly...um...special in that the eyes and hands moved in different directions as you moved (and I don't know correct term for this). Competely creeped me out because although in stairway, could be seen from living room. And of course, Jesus followed you allll the way up and down the stairs.
- August 20, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Ok. Just got off phone w/ my Korean mom (who by the way sounded like she was yelling into her phone and so I had my phone at least 6 inches from my head AND I could still hear her perfectly).
What is up with the 2 or 3 different birthdays? I understand the whole lunar calendar thing but every friggin year she reminds me to call this or that auntie and wish her a happy birthday but then goes into a tirade about how auntie's Korean birthday is on this date but her American birthday is on another date and how when she moved to the US, Customs got it wrong and she has a third birthday. AND THEN SHE DOES THIS WITH HER OWN BIRTHDAY AND REPEATS IT FOR EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY...Is it just my KM????

what about turning all sneakers into slippers by stepping on the backs. or shoes with no laces or shoes that they keep tied, basically shoes that are easy to take on or off. i think dads do both also.
also, along with perms, korean moms love short hair. i think if you're past the age of 40, you will have short hair.

I have a Korean mother-in-law so have spent a little bit of time in Korean markets, beauty shops etc and every time I go into one, I get offered a church calendar...I guess it is an ice breaker...but I often get it from the same person in the same week. All white guys must look the same

Can you please please please add something about yelling on the phone? Seriously? My mom would yell so loud on the phone it was just ridiculous. I mean, I had an answering machine in my dorm but I got rid of it because my mom would leave these incredibly loud and embarrassing messages about my grades and fat content, and my roommates thought it was so funny they would play them over and over.
- August 22, 2008 at 10:07 PM
this is actually my korean dad, but i'm sure my korean mom would've said it if he hadn't beaten her to the punch.
i went to a wonderful orthodox jewish wedding of a friend's and i called my parents to let them know. my dad patiently listened to me gush about the wedding. when i was finished, he paused, took a breath and said, "you know they don't believe in jesus."
- August 25, 2008 at 10:28 AM
Korean MIL has a "Last Supper" tapestry taking up an entire bedroom wall. There are scary Jesus portraits all around the house, not to mention crucifixes. I find church calenders in the oddest of places. Bathroom?? O_o
Also when my atheist Korean boyfriend inherited one of his dad's cars, he tried to take off the Jesus fish decal. He was nearly disowned.
- August 25, 2008 at 4:11 PM
I've read the Jesus post about five times and every time I see the picture of the Korean wave permed Jesus I just about fall off my seat from lack of oxygen because I can't inhale when I'm laughing so hard! And he's kind of grinning like he KNOWS I'm laughing. Perfect post!

HAHAHAHA! My mom had the big Jesus carpet (the last supper), write next to the giant life sized picture of Jesus. In the next room, you's see a cross and of course some Korean frames with words that said things like "Jesus loves you, Jesus died for you, Jesus is watching you...and then of course there was the Jesus clock and the Jesus Rapture art in gold frame at the entrance wall. Soon as you opened the door to our home, there it was JESUS!
My mom always told us that God was watching us and Jesus was telling her what we did! LOVE LOVE this post! and now I'm a new fan of your blog:)

You are SO funny! I'm having post traumatic flashbacks of my mom's 60 inch gold-plated Norwegian Jesus on steroids painting installed conspicuously amongst our attractive Louis IV embroidered furniture, precious moments figurines and ceramic pink 'Mozart playing the piano' lamp all within the comfortable plastic all white room set at a comfortable 60 degree. God forbid we spend money heating the place. Upon reflection, perhaps it was an homage to Norwegian Jesus.

I do find your blog enjoyable, but I felt the itch to comment on this post. It just seemed like there was some misleading statements written here. "Korean Moms...are Jesus."
Who is Jesus? Where is Jesus?
If you read the bible, you would know He lived a righteous life, died on the Cross and publicly disgraced, and paid for all our sins so we could have a chance to get to Heaven. He rose from the dead on the third day, after God was fully satisfied as His son Jesus took the wrath of God.
So that's what I find misleading. How can someone else be Jesus? They surely didn't live a sinless life.
And when you said that Jesus is someone to be fantasized, it just sounded like He was an idol, which is surely not true.
Although this post wasn't using Christ's name in vain, blasphemy as it is known in the commandments, it still isn't right in a certain way.
Other than that, there are also good points here : "He is everything they want to be,..."
As He lived a righteous and holy life, that too is what we should strive to do. Although we can't be sinless, since all have sinned, striving to live like Him is the best we should try to be.
"Jesus would never talk back..." It wasn't mentioned in the bible, or maybe I haven't read that part if there was, but it would be likely to be that way.
Okay, gotta really head to bed since it's the next day in a few minutes.
Take care and keep up with the good posts!

My KM would always hang this gigantic ass Jesus wall hanging in my room. It looked like a rug, except it was on on our wall and it covered the WHOLE wall. It went well with my me and my sisters Backstreet Boys and other hot guy posters.
