Resolution to The Central States Synod Assembly
June 2000
Presented by Gethsemane Lutheran Church, St. Louis, Missouri
Statements viewing access to adequate health care as issues of faith and justice, were issued by assemblies of the Lutheran Church in America in 1978 and the American Lutheran Church in 1982. A 1989 ELCA church wide assembly reaffirmed those decisions: "The positions of the predecessor church bodies in favor of access to quality health care for everyone, regardless of income, urging Congress, and encouraging members and congregations to work toward passage of appropriate national health care legislation."
The 1999 Church-wide Assembly continued its concern for health care by directing the Division for Church in Society to develop a Social Statement on Health and Health Care to be presented at 2003 Church-wide Assembly.
In 1999, ELCA representatives joined with representatives of the 35 member communions of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA to acknowledge that Christians are called to be concerned and take action at this time because,
"Current availability of health care to all people in the United States has been drastically reduced by changes in the private sector organization, financing and delivery of health care..."
"The direct result of these changes is that more than 43 million Americans have no health care insurance coverage. Perhaps more than 100 million people experience serious barriers to access."
The 1999 NCCC General Assembly statement went further to:
"Commend to its member communions a renewed faith community action campaign for comprehensive universal health care with democratic principles to which we have been historically committed, a campaign consisting of public education and action focused at the congregation and community level in cooperation with a larger coalition seeking to put this issue back on the national agenda."
"The assembly took action to aid a 'renewed faith community action campaign for comprehensive universal health care' by joining with the Universal Health Care Action Network and the Gray Panthers to launch U2K, the Universal Health Care 2000 Campaign, whose goal is universal health care that is affordable, accessible, comprehensive, high quality and publicly accountable. The U2K leadership, including clergy from NCCC member communions, offers resources and coordination to aid in congregational education, community cooperation and action to place universal health care on the national agenda."
The U2K Campaign is a non-partisan educational campaign with non-profit status. The campaign will not endorse a particular universal health care plan nor any candidate for any public office.
Therefore, be it resolved,

Rabies confirmed in dead Deschutes County bat
Health officials offer safety tips to avoid exposure
BEND, Ore. - The Oregon State Public Health Lab has confirmed that a recent deceased bat has tested positive for rabies in Deschutes County, officials said Wednesday.
Of the sick and dead bats tested in Oregon during the last 10 years, about 9.5 percent have had rabies.
"This is a good reminder to take some necessary precautions to protect yourself and your pets from rabies," said Emilio DeBess, public health veterinarian in the Oregon Department of Human Services. "Never handle bats, and make sure your cats and dogs are up to date on their rabies vaccines."
Bats are an important and interesting part of our ecosystem. They provide many benefits like insect control-they eat mosquitoes and can catch over 1,000 insects an hour. Unfortunately, bats can also carry rabies and infect other animals and/or humans.
"If a bat is out during daylight hours, it is probably not healthy and should be avoided," said DeBess.
If a person or pet does come in contact with a bat or is bitten by an animal, promptly report it to the Deschutes County Health Department at (541) 322-7418.
If an unvaccinated pet is exposed to rabies, the recommendation is that it be euthanized. This is why it so important to make sure pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccination.
Rabies is an infectious viral disease that affects the nervous system and is almost always caused by exposure to a rabid animal.
Exposure is usually through a bite but can also occur through scratches. It is almost always fatal, once symptoms begin.
But human rabies is rare in the U.S., with two to six cases per year.
For more information, call (541) 322-7418 or visit www.deschutes.org

In today's mobile news roundup: Crashlytics joins Twitter; Apple releases iOS 6.1; Whatsapp criticized for storing non-user contacts; and Ubuntu phone OS to have terminal application.
Crashlytics joins Twitter
Crashlytics, the mobile apps crash reporting solution is joining Twitter's team. Since its release, Crashlytics has helped developers find the problem or what's causing their apps to crash. Developers gained instant visibility as to which line of code caused the crash, which makes fixing it a lot easier.
With the merge, Crashlytics won't be dissolved by Twitter, as operations will stay the same.
"[W]e're thrilled to work with the incredible team at Twitter. We share a passion for innovating on mobile and building world-class applications. Joining forces will accelerate our build-out, allowing us to leverage Twitter's infrastructure to deliver new features faster than ever," Crashlytics said on its announcement.
Apple releases iOS 6.1
Apple has released version 6.1 of iOS for iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch, and Apple TV. The over-the-air update brings LTE support to 36 additional iPhone carriers and 23 additional iPad carriers, the ability to purchase movie tickets throught Fandango via Siri (US only), iTunes Match subscribers can now download individual songs from iCloud, and a new button to reset the Advertising Identifier.
"iOS 6 is the world's most advanced mobile operating system, and with nearly 300 million iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices on iOS 6 in just five months, it may be the most popular new version of an OS in history," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "iOS 6.1 brings LTE support to more markets around the world, so even more users can enjoy ultrafast Safari browsing, FaceTime video calls, iCloud services, and iTunes and App Store downloads."
In other Apple news, the company is said to readying a cheaper version of iPhone 5 to be released in China later this year. According to iLounge's Jeremy Horwitz, sources have told him that the cheap iPhone 5 will still look like the original version, but will have a plastic casing to reduce the price of the phone. The design is said to be the cross between the iPhone 5, 5th generation iPod Touch and the the iPod classic. It will have a Retina Display and the new Lightning port for charging and transferring data.
Whatsapp criticised for storing non-user contacts
In a joint investigation from the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, it was discovered that messaging app Whatsapp stores contact information of non-users.
The Dutch DPA may take punitive action if the company does not change its practice, while the OPC stated that it would continue to monitor the app. But unfortunately, the OPC does not have the power to issue sanctions, though it believes Whatsapp is breaking local laws.
When installed, Whatsapp asks access to a user's address book for cross-referencing to determine which of their contacts also use the service. There's nothing wrong with that part. The problem is, upon checking which of your contacts use the service, Whatsapp doesn't delete the contacts that don't use the service, but are instead transformed into a short code and stored. This practice contravenes Canadian and Dutch laws that only permits storing of information "for so long as it is required for the fulfilment of an identified purpose."
Ubuntu phone OS to have terminal application
In order for users to fully access the power of Linux, the upcoming Ubuntu phone OS will come with a terminal application that would allow users to type in Linux commands.
So what's the big deal with a terminal application? According to the GitHub Android terminal project "it lets users "access the entire /sdcard file system, and you can install and run Linux command-line applications in the parts of the /data file system that are accessible to the Android Terminal Emulator process. You can also run command-line programs that access the Internet."
Canonical wants the terminal app integrated with BusyBox, a set of Unix tools. Developers are encouraged to propose designs for the application.

Where I stayed
Sea Cloud
We had to take the tender boat to get on land. While we were planning on walking to the right towards the new town, 2 other passengers suggested we walk to the left towards the old town. It is only about 10 minutes walk, slightly uphill. Not really what I like best. So when I saw a car coming from behind I decided to hitchhike. The nice Greek lady (Fotini) offered to take us all 4 with her in her little Fiat. How kind of her and how great for us.
After that we also went on the other side of the bridge to see the new town. It is nice as well and has a cute promenade. But there were no tourists and everything was closed.
In the afternoon we watched for the last time the riggers setting the sails. Then the whole crew (all dressed up) gathered for a group photo. It was fun for us to watch until everyone was in position.
During the afternoon tea & coffee (with crepes) one of the other passengers showed us some fruit and vegetable carving. He is chef in a hotel in Cyprus and famous for his carving. It was interesting watching him. He was really fast.
In the evening we had the captain's farewell dinner.

Tyson entered in relief after Traci Tawney walked two batters to open the inning, including an intentional pass for UA home run leader Lovie Jung. Tyson walked Mackenzie Vandergeest before Coburn's homer.
UA first baseman Shelly Shultz won in relief in her first-ever pitching appearance. She threw two-plus innings and held UW to only one run on four hits.
The game was the highest scoring game in UA history, eclipsing a 29-0 victory over Bowling Green in 2001. The Husky scoring output is also an opponent high.
Washington dumped Arizona with a power display, 7-1, in the opener, and had Arizona on the ropes at 10-5 in the second game at one point.
Arizona finished the regular season 50-5 and 19-2 in league action and is an expected top seed in the NCAA tournament as the automatic qualifier from the Pac-10. UW finished 42-14-1 overall and 9-12 in conference play for fifth place. Washington is a likely at-large selection for the NCAA tournament.
A number of rallies in the game saved UA from losing their first doubleheader since Washington won two over the Cats on May 11 last year, also the final day of the regular season.
The Huskies had 34 hits on the night while Arizona collected a more modest 26.
Jaime Clark's two-run home run staked the Huskies to a 2-0 lead in the first inning of the nightcap.
UA took the lead with one hit off UW starter Ashley Boek in the bottom of the inning. Three players walked, and Jackie Coburn snaked a two-run double down the rightfield line to tie the score. After reloading the bases with a walk by Erin Palomarez, Mackenzie Vandergeest beat the throw to home on Lisha Ribellia's fielder's choice to give UA the lead, 3-2.
It was short-lived, as the Huskies batted around in the second. Aimee Minor led off the UW second with a double, and scored on an RBI single by Amanda Oleson to tie the game. Then after a single by Rita Roach, Clark singled in Oleson to re-gain the lead, and Kristen Rivera lined a three-run home run to make it 7-3.
Arizone fought back, cutting it to 7-5 on a two-run single by Jackie Coburn in the bottom of the inning. But Washington poured it on with a three-run fourth to take a 10-5 lead, but UA put together a nine-run rally in the bottom of the inning, keyed by three-run home runs by Crystal Farley and Jackie Coburn.
Washington scored six runs in the top of the fifth inning, sparked by Rivera's second home run of the game, a two-run shot, and a two-run single by Minor to post a 16-14 lead. UA went to its bench to use first baseman Shelly Shultz in the pitching circle for her first collegiate appearance to record the last out of the inning.
Arizona tied the game at 16-16 in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single by Wendy Allen and an unearned run on a throwing error by Washington's third pitcher, Minor.
Erin Palomarez hit the first homer of her career with one out in the UA sixth to give the Cats the 17-16 lead, but in the top of the seventh a double by Kathy Fiske and an RBI single by Sarah Hyatt knotted the score.
Washington collected 13 hits including a couple of home runs, and whipped UA, 7-1, in the first game.
Huskies pitcher Tia Bollinger (24-9) held Arizona off balance and unable to make the most of its nine hits.
Kristen Rivera singled in an unearned run in the first to stake UW to a 1-0 lead after Roach hit a bunt single and reached second on a throwing error by UA pitcher Wendy Allen (12-2).
UA stranded three runners in the first, had runners on the corners in the third and had the bases loaded in the fourth but couldn't get a key hit off Bollinger (24-9). A diving catch by centerfielder Rita Roach in the sixth helped UW double off a UA runner at third to squelch another scoring opportunity.
Dena Tyson hit Allen's first pitch in the second inning over the left field fence to make it 2-0 for the Huskies, who also threatened with the bases loaded and two outs in the third but came up empty.
Shortstop Jaime Clark followed singles by Amanda Oleson and Rita Roach with her 13th home run of the year to make it 5-0 in the top of the fourth.
Arizona got its lone run with a sacrifice fly by Jackie Coburn after Lovie Jung singled, moved to second on a ground-out and to third on a wild pitch.
UW made it 7-1 with a two-run single by Fiske in the sixth inning.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by MegaMagick, Oct 28, 2012.
Why am i not getting ATL-PHI? Getting WAS-PIT instead grrrr.....
Holy god those bumble bee Steeler unis with sack brown pants. What the hell were they thinking.
Oh well, go steelers! Beat up the redskins.
Watching the game in England. The turnout at these England games is amazing.
The Steeler uniforms are disturbing
only a matter of time until a permanent team is located in England
terrible play by babin there to keep the falcons first drive alive.
Amazing pass by Bradford.
steelers stuffed.
Gutsy to go for it so early, but it's 7-0 steelers.
Damn Steelers OL needs to start opening some holes for Dwyer! He's on my fantasy team!
For some reason I thought we had the early game today. Didn't find out until 15 minutes before kickoff of those games that we played late.
The only word that can accurately describe the Steelers' uniforms.:laugh1:
Redskins totally got suckered on that 4th down play action by the Steelers.
Lets go falcons, steelers, jags, lions, and panthers
The Falcons are on a long opening drive, down in the red zone now.
td falcons! close but i think he got his feet down.
TD Falcons.
Have to check if he got his feet in.
How come the league never sends the Cowboys to England? You'd think they'd want to send their most popular product over at least once.
Cutler is so consistently ugly against everyone else, but when we play him he looks like Rodgers/Brady.

A few questions if everyone doesn't mind?
I went into the fall with 4 hives and lost two early on to CCD - hives are completely empty of bees and the honey hasn't been touched - I will use it to feed the new Nucs I'll be installing in May. I've lost another one to I believe the cold and possibly humidity - we gone from minus 44 weather to plus 10 all within a week and the weather continues to fluctuate. Only one survivor right now.
So question one: is there any thing to be concerned about installing a new nuc into a previously abandoned hive that is suspected of CCD?
Question two: With respect to splits and new Nucs - I'm hoping that my one hive continues to survive and that I can use it to actually produce my own queens for my splits. If I can do this and raise a small number of queens what would be the best way to go about increasing my hives from my new Nucs. Can you split Nucs right away or should I wait until end of June to split.
Or should I split my surviving hive and use one of the Nucs to produce my queens.
The other question I have is that I see a lot of advice regarding splits where the new hive is moved two miles away. I only have two and half acres of land so this is not feasible. How important is this and is there a different way to go about increasing my hive numbers.
Thank you

Sophia Ozuna Ortiz at the UTSA Downtown Campus
Commencement Close-up: Sophia Ozuna Ortiz
By Alison Beshur
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 10, 2006)--Sophia Ozuna Ortiz believes higher education offers better opportunities. It is this conviction that drove her to earn a bachelor's degree in sociology from UTSA in 2004, and now, a master's degree in sociology.
"I want to set the example -- be educated," Ozuna Ortiz said. "I want to break that barrier for the next generation."
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Ozuna Ortiz, a 36-year-old mother of two sons ages nine and 14, grew up on the city's West Side and is a first-generation college graduate.
She said her family members at times have fallen prey to scams, paid for services they didn't need, or not claimed benefits they had earned, all of this, because they were intimidated by a bureaucratic process they didn't understand.
"I'm able to stand up for things," Ozuna Ortiz said. "And the education I've earned, no one can take away."
While studying, Ozuna Ortiz has worked with Harriett Romo, associate professor of sociology and director of the UTSA Mexico Center, to administer UTSA grants for Head Start programs.
Ozuna Ortiz also oversees the Institute of Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS) Bilingual Infant Language Acquisition Research Project at UTSA, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Navarro Early Childhood Development Center, and the Rockefeller Foundation's Transnational Lives in San Antonio Research Project.
Harriett Romo, associate professor of sociology and director of the UTSA Mexico Center, said Ozuna Ortiz is exemplary of the many highly motivated, hardworking young women at UTSA.
"She works full time in a demanding job, is raising two sons and carries a full academic course load," Romo said. "She is always reaching out to other students to help and support them. Her enthusiasm for learning and for life rubs off on all of the people she touches. We are very proud of her as a UTSA graduate."
Ozuna Ortiz plans to continue seeking out educational grants to help underserved students follow in her higher education footsteps.
"I'm not done yet," she adds. "I'm applying to Ph.D. programs."

In today's mobile news roundup: BlackBerry's Super Bowl ad lacks Z10 specifics; Nokia drops hints for tablet; FCC super WiFi proposal rattles telecom giants; and HTC's Q1 outlook down, shifts focus to China.
BlackBerry's Super Bowl ad lacks Z10 specifics
The power outage at the Superdome, which left the game and its fans in the dark for over 30 minutes shortly after Beyoncé's half-time show , charged the San Francisco 49ers, who were able to catch up to the Baltimore Ravens' lead. Despite the mishap, the Ravens were able to snag the Super Bowl win at 34-31.
But the power outage and Beyoncé's performance weren't the only chatter-worthy developments from last night. Just days after its official launch, BlackBerry debuted its Z10 commercial at the Super Bowl. The 30-second clip featured a guy bursting into flames, growing elephant legs, and then rubber duckies. All that was missing were details on the Z10 phone, with BlackBerry noting it's easier to show you what the new device can't do instead. Not really sure what BlackBerry was getting at, but for $30 million to make the ad, let's hope that the bubbling interest in the commercial translates to revenue for BlackBerry.
In other BlackBerry news, sales in the UK, United Arab Emirates and Canada are said to be off to a good start and the early numbers are "solid." In the UK, some reported lines outside retail shops that sold the Z10, and some shops are already out of stock.
"We believe Carphone Warehouse is seeing widespread sell-outs, while O2, Vodafone, Orange and EE are seeing robust demand," Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek explained. "We estimate sell-in to be at least several hundred thousand units."
Nokia drop hints for a tablet
A Nokia tablet has long been rumored to be in the works, but we have yet to see any confirmation on this. Nokia never dismissed the rumors, only stating that the company is looking into the tablet market with no definite plans yet.
But new details have emerged, with Nokia CEO Stephen Elop stated that the company is open to consider any mobile operating system for a tablet. This is the second time in recent weeks a Nokia representative was reported to show interest in alternative OS's, despite a relatively successful partnership with Microsoft's Windows Phone.
"We would consider any option [Android or Windows] … It is important to note that the opportunity for companionship is something that any user is looking for. So, when you think about the Lumia 920, running on Windows Phone, having a Windows tablet or PC or Xbox is something that will give us the opportunity to have a pretty integrated experience. Our first focus on what we look at is clearly in the Microsoft side," Elop said.
He also added that the company is studying Microsoft's effort in the tablet market, and from there, Nokia will see how to go about its tablet plans.
FCC super WiFi proposal rattles telecom giants
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing a super WiFi network across the US that would enable users to make calls or surf the Internet without having to pay a monthly bill.
This news would certainly be welcomed by the public, but telecommunications companies won't be too happy if this proposal gets approved. Network giants such as AT&T, Verizon and Sprint could lose billions of dollars at the threat of dropped subscribers.
On the other hand, tech giants such as Google and Microsoft favor the FCC's proposal, stating that a free super WiFi service would "spark an explosion of innovations and devices that would benefit most Americans, especially the poor."
"Freeing up unlicensed spectrum is a vibrantly free-market approach that offers low barriers to entry to innovators developing the technologies of the future and benefits consumers," FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, who designed the proposal, said a statement.
HTC's Q1 outlook down, shifts focus to China
HTC gave a preview of its first quarter revenue and stated that it would be down by 17 percent compared to the previous quarter. The decline is due to the harsh competition it is facing from Apple and Samsung, who are currently dominating the mobile market with the iPhone and Galaxy phones.
To prevent completely falling off the wagon, HTC will be focusing on the Chinese market and other emerging markets by offering more affordable phones to consumers. HTC is willing to offer phones priced lower than 1999 yuan or less than $320, which is currently the cheapest price in China.
"We're going to go down, but not below 1,000," HTC Chief Financial Officer Chang Chia-Lin said. "We see there's still room to play" in 1,000 to 2,000 yuan phones.

Greetings friends.
Recently I have come across the old canvas half tents that were used to make Bobas cape for the movie.
As it stands right now, I had very little luck getting any interest in them on the Mando Merc site so I only
cut up 2 of them.
If I get a bit more interest here I will cut up more.
Unfortunately, I have no sewing ability, and for correct seams you will have to do a bit of stitching. Each shelter has only one cut that produces the double seam like the ROTJ cape. They are only half shelters after all.
I will be looking for 20$ for the double seams and 15 for the ones that need some stitching shipping not included.
This is my first sale here so I apologize if I mess something up.

November 28th, 2008
To celebrate my baby turning 49 days old today, you can get 49% off orders of greeting cards, stickers, books, and puzzles in my in-house store!
Just what I have in stock at the moment, and just for a few days, I think.
Use code FEEDTHEBABY at checkout to get the discount! All proceeds go directly to feeding my baby.
The same discount code also applies over on Gumroad for my downloadable, print-at-home greeting cards!
Also, I forget if I ever mentioned it here before, but I made a cool Wondermark wallpaper; that's on Gumroad too.
To those I often see in the Bay Area around this time of year, I'll be missing Maker Faire this time around. I'll be staying home with my little dude, who cannot fend for himself and must have everything done for him.
I grew up in a family business. I was raised behind the counter of a store; I was stocking shelves by the time I could stand; I was making change by the time I could count.
Most of my childhood, I was surrounded by adults doing work. I think it taught me a lot.
I bristle somewhat when I hear people say "don't define yourself by your work," because I like my work, and I think I occasionally do good work, work that feels like an authentic expression of something I care about. And I do not feel entitled to any sort of success without doing work, so I feel like work must be worth something.
Work must be important, otherwise I would just do no work and wait to be successful, and that math doesn't compute, to me, based on my mindset or my lived experience.
So when my own son was on his way, I pictured myself perkily doing my regular work with him hanging off the front of me in one of those little carriers, cheerily observing and absorbing everything in order to become a creative person of his own one day.
It has not gone quite that way. It may still, but not yet.
He's here, now, and I don't know whether he'll be a creative person, or an entrepreneur, or not; he's got plenty of time to figure out what those words even mean, much less what to do with his life.
The first thing people ask when they see him is "Are you sleeping at all?" Like it's a big in-joke that babies will wake you up in the night. Yes, thank you, I'm sleeping. (In little two-hour bites, but yes.)
Our boy is six weeks old — or just one week and change if you correct for his premature arrival — and as of yet he's basically a houseplant. He stays where you put him, wiggling around like he's imitating a skydiver. He doesn't yet understand "objects" or "interaction" or "operating his limbs purposefully" or "responding to anything". He lives in a world all his own, population one.
We're also packing up our life to move to a new house, quite unexpectedly as it turns out…and we've got a sick kitty who requires a lot of attention…and projects and tasks are stacking up at work. I've been trying to wrap up a bunch of complicated projects that I started months ago KNOWING academically that they were going to be impossible to maintain once the baby arrived, but not quite anticipating just how fast the days would slip by, just how hard it would be to accomplish basic tasks in this state of mind.
This will be old news to many (you parents out there) and of little interest to others, I imagine. Remarking on the capital-C Change that the arrival of a child brings to one's life is so mundane an observation as to be a dull cliché.
I think because of that, I figured it would be different for us, somehow. We would be smarter; we would figure it out.
And we have, so far — but we have withstood it, not bested it, which I understand one never quite does.
I'm grateful that I have the flexibility to stay home with my wife and the kitty and the baby, for a little while at least, and I will beg your forgiveness for the occasional lapse here on the site. This is my conduit to you, and I want to keep it alive, so I will try my best.
I want to make more fun things for you to take home, but I don't want to shill products more than I provide new comics. People email me every day offering to cram my site full of terrible ads, and I turn all of them down, or ignore them entirely, because that feels gross to me, and disrespectful to you.
I will get back to work soon enough, I hope, with the baby hanging off of me or not. I will imagine myself teaching him all sorts of important things about Business and The World and Adultness, when in reality he will probably be teaching me things. Already, at his knee I have learned much about the subject of Wiggles, and we are working now on a new effort called Groans-And-Moans.
He is issuing creative product of his own, daily, but so far it kind of stinks, and I throw it away in a special can.
I need to become okay with not doing as much work, at least for a bit. But this is also my job, and I have to do some work, or else I don't have a job.
The solution, of course, is obvious, as my own parents knew: child labor. Work hard, little one, and learn fast. Someday, this will all be yours.
People sometimes ask me about "how to get into webcomics," or "how to do a webcomic," or "how to get people to read a webcomic."
The truth is I don't know! I had what could charitably be called a strategy a decade ago, but now I just make comics and put them in the places folks expect to see them — here, on Twitter, on Facebook, in your email.
But other people do it lots of different ways — there are a lot of comics that live on Tumblr exclusively, and there are comics that I only recognize because they bubble up on Reddit a lot.
Here's an example of a comic that lives in a "comics" tag on the artist's Tumblr… I happened across it because I saw it posted on Twitter, and then I checked out the other comic strips the author has posted. I don't know if the comic has a name per se, but the Tumblr's handle is Iguanamouth.
That's just the first couple of panels! Click to read the whole thing! It's very good.
I don't know much about this artist (Lauren), but it seems like the comic strips are an occasional thing that she posts along with other stuff on her blog.
And I think comics are getting to be like that now — just another form of thing to post. There are people I follow on Twitter or Instagram who occasionally post comics in between regular tweets about whatever.
That's a great thing for the comics medium and for artists, but it makes it hard to draw a line around "webcomics" in any specific form and say "This is how you do a webcomic." It's always been kinda fuzzy, and now it's… just no more clear than it was, perhaps.
That's a small tradeoff for seeing the explosion of work of a new generation of artists who grew up on comics, and are learning to speak that language natively. I think it invites more interesting voices to participate in the medium.
Lauren has more art in her "Scribbles" tag, here! They are fun drawings that aren't comics per se, but exist in the same space as her comics; that is to say, a piece of art that tells a story. Comics is just one way of accomplishing that end, and I love that too.

Tis the season to be HOLLY
Original post made by Holly Davenport, Morro Bay, another community, on Dec 6, 2007
I loved the welcome I received and the curiosity of my neighbors. As I sat in the afternoon sun, with a fine syrah and sliced cheese and apples, I was asked, "Isn't it a little early?" I responded, "Maybe for sex!" knowing I didn't agree with that thought.
"A young woman like you, alone and sipping wine," the conversation continued, "we usually enjoy our wine around seven." I suggested that they find the same seven and come over immediately because I had plenty of syrah.
My question is, "is there anyone in Alamo that is willing to talk to me during the holidays? I so want to have a HOLLY, jolly, Christmas while I am here. I am sure that Alamo is not only Puritans."
Thank GOD for Walnut Creek! Oh, and God, nice job on Livermore!

You might need to look around in Danville since we are much less stiff and boring than those Alamonians.

Dear Holly,
Please see the recent stories on Alamo's own "Dr. Playboy."
Puritans in Alamo? "Parish" the thought.

Dear Holly,
It was amazing to have the majority in Alamo meet you after reading your rich and humorous review of a few Alamo neighbors. As you can see by the Alamo neighborhoods holiday reception, the younger majority of neighbors in Alamo are quite cosmopolitan and exciting people. So exciting that our reception had to be held in the excitement of Walnut Creek.
AS one of the older set amongst the neighbors hosting the reception, I enjoyed your contribution to the liveliness of the event.

Don't get me wrong, I like to look at these articles as much as anyone. In the end they are only fodder for boards like this.
No one remembers who came in second.
Does anyone know where I can find the Giants 2012 strength of schedule based on actual win-loss record? Typically SOS based on previous season record is terribly inaccurate.
here. They've taken into account how the team in question affected their opponent's win/loss record.
Hardest to easiest:
1. Lions
2. Cardinals
3. Rams
4. Vikings
5. Giants
6. Cowboys
7. Packers
8. Bears
9. Saints
10. 49ers
11. Jaguars
12. Seahawks
13. Panthers
14. Texans
15. Patriots
16. Titans
17. Ravens
18. Jets
19. Redskins
20. Buccaneers
21. Browns
22. Dolphins
23. Chiefs
24. Eagles
25. Broncos
26. Bills
27. Steelers
28. Raiders
29. Chargers
30. Colts
31. Bengals
32. Falcons
I swear if the Giants don't make the playoffs with this schedule in 2013, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.
New York Giants Superbowl XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI Champions!!!!!

Westlake residents could see an $8 increase on their water bills as the city continues negotiations with Sulphur over a 70 percent rate increase on its wastewater transport and treatment services.
The city of Sulphur, which has provided the service to Westlake since the late 1980s, increased its fee for Westlake from $26,000 per month to $44,000 — and Westlake Mayor Dan Cupit said he's working to minimize the effect on residents.
"That's one heck of an increase, and we have to pass that on to our customers," Cupit said. "That will be a hefty fee without a whole lot of warning."
Kevin Alley, Sulphur's finance director, said a rate increase is necessary to cover Westlake's cost for providing wastewater services. He said Westlake hasn't seen an increase since 2007.
Cupit said that although he has not met with Sulphur Mayor Chris Duncan, his staff is working with Sulphur to "hash out figures" to reach an "acceptable conclusion."
"We understand we're pretty well at their mercy, but we still would like to have some type of acceptable conclusion," Cupit said. "That's what we're working on, but we haven't worked out a solution yet."
The increase was to take effect July 1, and Duncan said an agreement needs to be reached soon since that date has passed. "We need to get to the table pretty quick, get this resolved and move on," he said.
The contract also calls for an annual adjustment so that the issue doesn't "keep going back to the table," Duncan said.
Cupit said that although they are still negotiating, he's confident a solution benefitting both sides can be reached.

Reviews of this property
... and because it so well-liked, we still have the same drangehängt a few days ...
... und da es uns so gut gefallen hat, haben wir gleich noch ein paar Tage drangehängt...
We (parents, 3 Children 13-7-3) spent a nice time in a very well maintained and tastefully furnished modern cottage. Ideal starting point for day or half-day trips to nearby beaches (15 minutes) to the center of Puebla Sat (15 minutes walk), or to La Palma (30 minutes), as well as shopping directly in Sa Puebla. Silvia and Juan were great hosts, open, helpful and reliable. Highly empfeheln for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle (no direct neighbors), and yet so centrally located that you get in a relatively short time to every corner of the island.
Wir (Eltern, 3 Kinder 13-7-3) verbrachten eine schöne Zeit in sehr gepflegtem und geschmackvoll modern eingerichtetem Landhaus. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Tages -oder Halbtagesausflüge zu nahe gelegenen Stränden (15 Autominuten), zum Zentrum von Sa Puebla (15 Minuten zu Fuss), oder auch nach La Palma (30 Autominuten), sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direct in Sa Puebla.
Silvia und Juan waren tolle Gastgeber, offen, hilfreich und zuverlässig.
Sehr zu empfeheln für einen Urlaub abseits von jedem Trubel (keine direkten Nachbarn), und doch so zentral gelegen, das man in relative kurzer Zeit zu jedem Zipfel der Insel gelangt.
Wir haben eine schöne Zeit in LLavorina verbracht.
Hat nur etwas gedauert, bis wir das Objekt gefunden hatten,da die Wegbeschreibung bei uns erst vor Ort angekommen ist. Konnte aber zu jeder Zeit das Team des Vermieters telefonisch erreichen.
Das Haus bietet viel Platz, wir waren nur zu fünft.
Das einzige, was uns gestört hat, war der etwas muffelige Geruch. Wenn man die Abflüsse dann gespült hat, war der Geruch weg. Hatten aber auch die ganze Zeit keine Klimaanlage an, vielleicht hing es auch damit zusammen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

It's come to this: White House releases videos of young kids asking Obama for more gun control
posted at 7:11 pm on January 17, 2013 by Allahpundit
Kevin Williamson on the histrionic presidency:
You may agree 100 percent with the president's position on gun control, but his stagey histrionics, his endless reliance upon human props, his cheap sloganeering, his emotionally driven hectoring: all of that bespeaks a very deep contempt for his audience, which is the American people. If he really believes that surrounding himself with adorable little tots is a substitute for substantive arguments for well-thought-out policy proposals, he thinks that the people — you people — are a bunch of rubes. Unhappily, 51 percent of the American people are happy to endorse his low view of them. There is something peculiar to political enthusiasts, a phenomenon I observed at both conventions this year: People in political audiences know that they are being manipulated, cynically and professionally — and they enjoy it. Obama's admirers look up to him because he looks down on them, not in spite of the fact. There is something more at play than the mere admiration of stagecraft…
The magic of theater is that is has the power to overwhelm thought: For a moment, you forget that you are watching actors reciting lines that they have memorized and making scripted movements, and you are taken into the world of the play. Obama's politics of histrionics — the little children, the Sandra Flukes, the imperial stage dressing — also is conceived with the goal of overwhelming thought. That tells you something about the president and what he stands for. The continued success of this traveling medicine show of a presidency tells you something about the American people.
He wrote that yesterday, not knowing that the White House was hours away from rolling out video of child props actually reciting lines. (It was thoughtful of them to include the P.S. from the little boy in blue about Obama doing his best.) The clips are another example of O being more aggressive in pushing his agenda in his second term, which will be egged on by a media that's eager to see some fightin' liberalism in the Oval Office, Josiah-Bartlet-style. I think there's more to this than just that, though: One of the reasons he's relying so heavily on kids, I suspect, is because he knows gun control is going nowhere in Congress. Less than 40 percent of the public thinks new laws will stop gun violence; Senate Democrats from red states are already headed for the exits. Obama can't do much legislatively for his base here but he can, at least, reassure them that they're morally superior to the opposition and that they, despite their entrenched, passionate support for abortion rights, care about The Children in a way conservatives never will. In fact, I'd bet cash money that there'll be response ads from conservative groups aping the format of these on other issues that don't work out as well for Democrats. The national debt is an obvious area to be mined, but it'd be just adorable to see a two- or three-year-old asking "Mistah Pwesident" to discontinue his support for infanticide. For the children. Pwetty pweeze?
The money line here from the little girl in red, summing up liberal ambitions eloquently: "No guns, no guns, no guns, no guns." Exit question for Chris Christie: While you're busy grandstanding about that NRA ad for your blue-state audience, any thoughts on Obama's use of kids to carry his water agenda-wise? I vaguely recall you goofing on teachers' union stooges who are quick to enlist kids when arguing that pay cuts for public-school teachers will damage their education. Okay to do that sort of thing on an issue where you agree with O?

I currently throw a Four-Seam Fastball, Sinker, Cutter & Circle-Change Up. Does this sound like a good pitching arsenal?
I currently throw a Four-Seam Fastball, Sinker, Cutter & Circle-Change Up. Does this sound like a good pitching arsenal?
I'm 20 & yes, my command is good.
At what level are you pitching. That will help in responses.
There are many two seam and four seam varieties. Throw all of them.
standballdad, sorry. I misread your post. I see what you're saying now. I agree.
efastball.com - hitting and pitching fact checker
The only questions you need to ask yourself is are they all pronated?I currently throw a Four-Seam Fastball, Sinker, Cutter & Circle-Change Up.
If they are not then you have a chance at elbow degradation due to intuitively centripetal supinated drives and releases.
If your circle moves towards the ball arm (at-20%) side you are voluntarily pronating , good!! This is the easiest pitch on your arm if pronated?
Your Sinker moves down and towards the ball arm(at-10%) side you are voluntarily pronating, good!! These two pitches help in your elbows health and give you a higher MTS rating on ball axis presentation through pronated percentage.
Your cutter moves towards the glove arm side and if supinated like most teach is one of the most destructive to the elbows health there is. There is a pronated version, one of my pitchers attains 98 MPH with it at sea level!
Your 4 seam fastball is probably supinated adding it to the total of 2 supinated and 2 pronated, not bad but. You dont dabble with the curve? Good decision as this pitch type is always supinated hard snapped Bone to bone and by not using it brings your MTS rating even higher. There is a pronated version but you would then have to learn how to drive down your acromial(keep ball on the linear ball driveline) line by axipetal drive.
Pretty good, do you know how to sequence the 4 types (pullR/L & sprayR/L) of batters?Does this sound like a good pitching arsenal?
You are set up very well for the task of being able to pitch to both side batters equally, if only you had that pronated curve? Then you could add that pronated slider so you would then have 3 pitches that moved right with 3 speeds and 3 pitches that moved to the left with 3 speeds. This is what my clients end up with so they can sequence changes in 3 times through the lineup differently.
This is even the case when you can only produce low 80s fastballs if you have 6 pitches. Now give this same arsonal to a fast twitcher?This is not the case. You can throw mid 80's, and be very effective with 2 or 3 pitches.
Aint it ever!!! Junk em low to get ahead and speed them at the letters to punch em out.It's all about location and keeping hitters off balance.

Beautiful bead - wonderful valueMarch 5, 2014
I ordered these Swarovski bead (in multiple colors) from Artbeads for my Trollbeads and Pandora bracelets. They did not disappoint. Beautiful sparkling crystals, stainless core (which I prefer over the beads with "fake sterling" cores I see on ebay and amazon). Extremely happy with this item. Nice quality and great price.

Crosslake may hire county to provide planning and zoning services
The Crow Wing County Board decided Tuesday morning, Sept. 24, to approve a memorandum of understanding to provide planning and zoning services to the city of Crosslake.
However, in order for the agreement to become final, Crosslake also had to approve the memorandum.
The Crosslake City Council was set to make that decision at a special council meeting Tuesday night, Sept 24, to decide whether or not to accept the county's services. Watch for updates at www.pineandlakes.com.
Accepting the services would mean the termination of both of Crosslake's current planning and zoning staff: Ken Anderson, community development director; and Bryan Hargrave, planner/GIS coordinator.
By phone, county Land Services Supervisor Chris Pence said his proposal was for two county employees to be stationed at the Crosslake office to perform planning and zoning duties.
Council member Mark Wessels said by phone that residents who appeal a planning and zoning decision would still appeal to the Crosslake City Council, and the city's planning and zoning commission would stay intact. But county employees would provide planning and zoning services for the city at city hall. He said the county would be an employee of the city.
The Crosslake City Council also met Monday night, Sept. 23, and heard both a letter from Anderson against the proposal and comment from the public.
Crosslake Mayor Darrell Schneider used his gavel several times at Monday's meeting.
In materials provided to the Crosslake City Council, council members Gary Heacox and Wessels lay out three options for the future of the city's planning and zoning. The first option, Wessels and Heacox state, is to do in 2014 what the city did in 2013, with two employees and a budget of around $280,000.
The second, the council members say, is to move forward with the planning and zoning 2014 requested budget, which is for $327,000 and includes hiring a third employee and buying a new vehicle, GPS and metal detector.
The third, which Wessels and Heacox recommend, is to hire the county at a rate of $190,000 a year. Wessels says hiring the county would save the city $147,000 versus option one.
Anderson, at the county board meeting Tuesday, took issue with the budget information laid out by Heacox and Wessels. He said that currently the planning and zoning department is below budget by more than $50,000, and by removing the request for a third employee the 2014 budget would be much closer to the county's proposed planning and zoning service costs.
"You're looking at essentially the same cost (as county services) and losing the benefit and experience of the employees in the city of Crosslake," Anderson said.
Combined, he and Hargrave have 18 years of experience.
Anderson also argues that the Crosslake budget information reflects costs such as office fees, office supplies, etc., which he said are not included in what the county proposed to charge the city.
Wessels argues that working with the county will mean working with an award-winning department and increasing office hours. He maintains it will save the city money.
The county Land Services Department put together a report of the city's planning and zoning department last spring by request of the city council. Wessels and Heacox, along with the consulting city administrator, Dan Vogt, and city attorney, Brad Person, were authorized by the council at a June 26 meeting to explore the implementation of more than 30 recommendations the county presented in the report. One of those recommendations was for the county to provide the city with planning and zoning services.
Since then, Wessels said that committee has met with county representatives twice, and that's when he and Heacox asked the county to prepare a proposal for the county to provide planning and zoning services to the city.
The council had not as a whole voted to specifically ask the county to provide planning and zoning services.
Wessels said he wanted the matter addressed at a special meeting Tuesday night in order to move the process along quickly, saying it takes too long to get things done.
Other members of the public asked the council to hold a public hearing on the matter.
Monday night, citizens asked that the council have a public forum before the council held its vote Tuesday night. Many citizens expressed Monday that they were against the county providing planning and zoning services.
Many of those same people were at the county board meeting Tuesday, where they continued to express their disapproval. Wessels also spoke at the county's public forum in favor of the county providing services.
County board chair Rachel Reabe Nystrom made the point several times Tuesday that the county was not soliciting work from other cities, but was requested to do the work.
Board member Paul Thiede said that by approving the memorandum of understanding to provide services to Crosslake, the board was simply leaving the option open for Crosslake to decide what to do next.
Wessels said by phone that he would vote for the county to provide services to Crosslake, and said he believed Heacox would favor the idea as well.
The council planned to decide whether or not to accept the county's offer for services at a meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, after Echo Journal publication. Results of that meeting will be available online at www.pineandlakes.com.

For high school students looking to explore the vast world of medicine, summer camps offer plenty opportunity. This July, University of St. Thomas hosted Camp Cardiac, a week-long summer camp that brought local high school students face-to-face with daily life in the medical field.
Camp Cardiac was founded in 2012 by cardiac surgeon Dr. Richard Lee along with medical students, to provide high school students the opportunity to explore careers in medicine. With a focus on both education and real world experience, Camp Cardiac students have a unique opportunity to learn directly from experts in the medical field. In addition, this one-week summer day camp provides a foundation for heart healthy living with an emphasis on both diet and exercise.
UST Alumnus Adeel Faruki '12, who has a bachelor's in biology, is responsible for bringing the camp to St. Thomas as well as organizing and leading the camp. Faruki, who is beginning his second year at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, said it was the opportunity for students to gain firsthand experience within the medical field that drew him to the camp.
"With exposure to the medical field, now they can better direct themselves in college," Faruki said. "We had presentations on cardiac disease, and presenters with different backgrounds: the director of general surgery at UTH, one of the nation's best emergency medicine physicians, a premier interventional cardiologist, and the author of numerous study skills textbooks."
Faruki and four other medical students from UT-HMS, along with UST pre-med students Gina Duong, junior biology major, and Luke Hebert, sophomore biology major, led activities ranging from knot tying to a pig heart dissection. Twenty-five students worked in small groups on assigned research projects that they presented on the last day of camp.
Students also spent a day in the Texas Medical Center, where they toured the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, watched a surgery, visited a cadaver lab and saw the Life Flight helipad.
"It was surprising how much of the serious medical related information they understood," Hebert said. "The camp definitely exposed them to more of the scarier and intriguing parts of internal medicine and cardiology. I am glad I got to help because I learned so much."
Beyond the medical field, the camp also promoted healthy living and lifestyle choices. Students learned about nutrition and ate healthy foods for snacks and meals. They also participated in scheduled exercise breaks throughout the week.
Faruki said the camp was a success. We filled the camp to maximum capacity. Faruki said the experts they brought in were interesting and dynamic, and St. Thomas was kind enough to offer facilities and cater the camp through dining service, Aramark.
"We really hope to bring it back to UST," Faruki said. "The facilities were great, the school was very accommodating and the students really enjoyed it. They were sad when it ended."
The University of St. Thomas Pre-Medical program is designed to prepare students for entry into medical school. The program is a rigorous science and math-based program that can be combined with any major.

For the first time in more than a decade the V8 Supercars' championship is morphing into something new. This weekend's opening round of the series in Adelaide for the Clipsal 500 will witness not only 28 new cars on the grid, but also two new manufacturers.
This year every team will be wheeling out their Car of the Future, which has a common chassis and a number of control parts, and as such it will be the most level playing field the category has seen in many years.
There will be a few teams like Triple Eight, Ford Performance Racing and the Holden Racing Team that may have had the financial muscle to be a little ahead of the curve.
However, this year is the best opportunity for some of the newer, less well-funded teams to steal a march on the perceived big boys.
What makes it even more interesting is the championship has four New Zealand drivers in qualifying today, who for the most part, are with tight-knit, well-organised smaller teams - which is no bad thing.
Development Series and New Zealand V8 SuperTourers champion Scott McLaughlin is now a fully-fledged main game driver with Gary Rodgers Motorsport, and has enough previous form (sixth at the Bathurst 1000) to rattle a few cages.
"I'm with a good team who have helped develop a lot of good drivers," said McLaughlin. "If I can get a top 15 finish I'll be very happy but the plan is to learn and not do anything silly. It's a long season and I'll just go out there and do the best I can."
Former Stone Brothers Racing hot shot Shane van Gisbergen has, after a couple of months off, decided he's got his mojo back.
A proven race winner, van Gisbergen has signed on with relative newcomers Tekno Autosport, alongside Jonathon Webb, to continue his march towards a championship.
"After the break I felt good and when Tekno started suggesting we go back racing in V8 Supercars I thought it would be a good idea," said van Gisbergen.
"It's a great team and I like the feel in the workshop and they have good cars built by Triple Eight so we should go pretty well."
At one stage towards the end of last year it looked like New Zealand would only have one confirmed driver (Fabian Coulthard) in the championship with the departure of van Gisbergen and Greg Murphy not having a fulltime drive.
Coulthard's move to Brad Jones Racing has been inspired and last year he showed some great form. This year he's keen to kick on and challenge for podium finishes.
"We did quite well here last year and I made the top 10 shootout," Coulthard said. "Everyone on the grid has new cars and it's been so busy getting everything ready for this weekend that it'll be great to go racing."
A late edition to the series is former A1GP and successful Porsche driver Jonny Reid who signed off a last minute deal to race this year with Dick Johnson Racing. Reid will be on the back foot as he's not driven the new car before.
"We're not going to be as well prepared as a lot of the other teams but I'm just pleased to be here," Reid said.
"I've been working on getting a V8SC drive for a few years now and it's worked out. I'll give it everything I've got."
The usual suspects like defending champion Jamie Whincup, former champion and teammate Craig Lowndes and the bloke very keen to grab his first title, Mark Winterbottom, will all have their own agendas.
Van Gisbergen grabbed pole position with a stirring drive yesterday.
Second fastest in the top-10 shoot out was Winterbottom followed by Lowndes, who was quickest in the qualifying session.

Local offers up home to Oklahoma victims
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - It was a typical evening for Judy Kowalski until she saw the news on Monday. "I turned the TV on and they said something about storms in Oklahoma," said Kowalski.
Kowalski said the longer she watched the coverage, the more worried she got; one of her own children lived there. "I saw the devastation there and I saw where it was. So I got on the phone to my daughter to make sure she was ok, because she lives 50 miles away from there," said Kowalski.
Kowalski tells us her daughter's home, fortunately, wasn't hit, but she continued to worry about all of the families whose homes had been. "There are people out there, Amy's age that have absolutely nothing right now," said Kowalski.
She tells us she wanted to 'pay it forward' for all of the times other people had helped her. "I was sitting here thinking, well, I do have a bedroom. I do have a bathroom," said Kowalski.
Kowalski says if someone needs a place, she wants to help. "The National Guard and everything is in there, but people still need a place to go," said Kowalski.
She tells us she isn't worried about the distance either, saying it never hurts to offer. "I know when people got hit by Katrina, people got placed all over until they could go back to where they were," said Kowalski.
So Kowalski is waiting for someone to call and tell her they need a place to lay their head, and she'll be there to let them in. "Common people can help common people," said Kowalski.
Kowalski told us she has not had anyone take her up on the offer yet, but did say she tried to get in contact with the Red Cross to let them know she was willing to help.
