Church Gives Humanitarian Aid throughout the World
Through their donations and acts of service, Church members strive to follow the Savior's teachings and the Prophet Joseph Smith's counsel "to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all" (Times and Seasons, 15 Mar. 1842, 732).
In this spirit, members make contributions to the Humanitarian Aid Fund, and the Church uses these contributions to help people in need all over the world. This assistance most often takes the form of life-sustaining resources during emergency situations and support for programs that help people become more self-reliant. The Church has sent food, clothing, medical equipment, and educational supplies to 147 countries. Much of this aid has been given in cooperation with charitable agencies, including the Red Cross, Mercy Corps International, Food for the Poor, World Opportunities International, and the Children's Hunger Fund.
Most donations to the Humanitarian Aid Fund are made by members through their wards and branches using the Tithing and Other Offerings form. These donations are used to purchase needed materials, to pay shipping costs, or to implement humanitarian programs throughout the world.
To become self-reliant and to care for one's own is an underlying principle of the gospel. More than 300 missionaries serve in humanitarian assignments throughout the world helping people become self-reliant so they can fulfill their moral obligation to care for themselves and their families. Examples: In China medical specialists teach better ways to treat infants born with serious complications. A couple from Idaho teaches rural farmers in Belarus how to increase their potato crop production. A couple in Ghana teaches computer skills to youth in a vocational training program.
Often the recipients of humanitarian aid are invited to help meet their own needs. In Russia, for instance, a project was recently approved to provide blankets for a hospital. Fabric was bought and sisters from the local branch worked together with hospital staff to make quilts. In rural Kenya, a village needed new latrines because the old ones had dirt floors and promoted disease. Villagers asked the Church to provide the materials; the villagers then dug the pits, lined them with rocks, and built the outbuildings.
Also, members often labor in behalf of people they will never see. In the United States, for example, many make items such as school kits, hygiene kits, newborn kits, and quilts that are sent to people in need throughout the world.
Members' generous donations and acts of service bless millions of people and make possible the Church's humanitarian efforts. Latter-day Saints have responded enthusiastically to President Gordon B. Hinckley's words: "In a world where there is so much of hunger and suffering, where death walks hand in hand with little children, we must continue and enlarge our efforts, not permitting politics or other factors to hold back the hand of mercy" ("Look to the Future," Ensign, Nov. 1997, 68).
Elder Carmack to Direct Perpetual Education Fund
The First Presidency has called Elder John K. Carmack of the Seventy to direct the new Perpetual Education Fund announced by President Gordon B. Hinckley on 31 March in the priesthood session of general conference.
The Perpetual Education Fund will assist young Latter-day Saints in developing countries, primarily returned missionaries, to gain an education. Without financial assistance, these young people are often unable to obtain the necessary education or training to help them rise out of poverty. The fund will provide school loans with minimal interest to be repaid after the individual has completed his or her education and is employed.
Elder Carmack will supervise operation of the Perpetual Education Fund, which will be administered through the Church institute program.
Elder Carmack was president of the Europe Central Area when he was called to direct the new program. Sustained to the First Quorum of the Seventy in 1984 while serving as president of the Idaho Boise Mission, he had previously served the Church as a regional representative and stake president. An attorney, he had been president of a Los Angeles law firm.
Food, Supplies Go to Hungry, Flood Victims
Last fall's Idaho potato crop was so plentiful that farmers took 10 percent off the market in an attempt to stabilize prices. To eliminate the surplus, farmers had two choices: dump the potatoes on the fields as fertilizer or donate them to charity.
The Potato Management Company growers of Idaho decided to donate 12 million pounds of the surplus to the Church to distribute to the hungry. "This is a joint effort by potato growers from Idaho and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to place this burdensome supply of potatoes in the hands of those whose lives would be blessed by the receipt of the mere essentials of life," said Joe Wirthlin Jr., area director of welfare services.
Volunteers at welfare facilities near Idaho Falls will sort, wash, and pack some 4 million pounds of the potatoes to be shipped to homeless shelters and food banks throughout the United States.
The remaining 8 million pounds will be dehydrated at processing plants in eastern Idaho. The Church will ship some of these dehydrated potatoes to El Salvador and other countries that have recently been affected by disasters. The remainder will be stored for future use.
Assisting Flood Victims
After severe flooding occurred in South America and Africa, the Church helped victims.
In Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, dozens of people were killed and thousands lost their homes when dense rains caused flooding in February and March. The Church sent two containers of food and emergency items to Ecuador, six containers to Bolivia, and seven to Peru. Each container holds some 40,000 pounds of supplies.
Heavy March rains also caused flooding in eastern Africa, displacing more than 400,000 people in Malawi and Mozambique. Fifteen containers of relief items were sent to these countries.
Relief Society Honored in Brazil
On 20 March the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil (comparable to the U.S. House of Representatives) conducted a special session commemorating the organization of the Relief Society on 17 March 1842. More than 300 local Relief Society sisters attended the session, which was televised nationally.
More than 350,000 Brazilian women are Relief Society members. "These wonderful women are dedicated to strengthening families," said Aecio Neves, president of the Chamber of Deputies, speaking in the session. "There has never been so great a need for such a work."
The motion to honor the Relief Society was made by Chamber Deputy Moroni Torgan, a fourth-generation Church member from Fortaleza, Brazil. Addressing the session, he said: "In 1937, two women and a girl joined the Church and began to attend Relief Society. One of the women was my great-grandmother Elizabeth Visconti; the other was my grandmother Vilma Visconti Bing. The girl was my mother, Vilma Bing Torgan."
A Latter-day Saint who works in the Brazilian Congress, Luiz César Lima Costa, said he felt this special session did more to promote a positive image of the Church in Brazil than any other event he had witnessed during his 29 years of Church membership.
Ames, Iowa: Rich Heritage, Bright Future
It was while making the difficult, mud-bogged pioneer trek across Iowa in 1846 that William Clayton penned the words to the hymn "Come, Come, Ye Saints" (Hymns, no. 30). The hymn has become an inspirational anthem for Latter-day Saints worldwide, but in Iowa it is also sung in other churches by congregations who revere the faith of the early pioneers. Also out of respect, many Iowa farmers have long-preserved the Mormon Pioneer Trail as it passes through their property, plowing around it as they plant their crops each year.
"We have been blessed by the goodness of the people of Iowa," says Robert Schafer, president of the Ames Iowa Stake, the fourth stake to be created in the state. "It is because of this goodness that the Church has been able to expand and grow here."
The first branch in Ames, Iowa, was officially organized in 1927. One of the branch's first members was a young graduate student who had come to Ames to study agricultural economics and marketing at Iowa State University. His name was Ezra Taft Benson.
"Sister Benson and I left for Ames the day we were married, September 10, 1926, in a small secondhand Ford pickup, with all of our earthly belongings in the back," President Benson later reminisced in a 1976 letter to an Ames ward member. "It was a joyous, happy, profitable year. We would alternate in … holding Sunday School in our apartments and would usually drive 25 miles to attend sacrament meetings. There was a congenial, rich spirit among the members of the little branch. We enjoyed the fellowship, the association, and especially the spirit in those early days in Ames."
The same spirit that existed in the early Ames branch continues in the Ames stake today. President Schafer says the stake's vision is to emphasize the role of the Savior in people's lives. One way the stake accomplishes this is through service—each auxiliary of each unit in the stake has a goal to complete two service projects a year.
Since the stake was organized in 1995, three new branches have been created within its boundaries. Jayson and Clover Green of the Ankeny Ward are just two of many converts that have strengthened the stake in recent years. The Greens had just separated when a chance meeting brought Jayson in contact with the missionaries. He began hearing the discussions, reading the Book of Mormon, and making changes in his life. As a result Jayson talked with Clover, and they decided to give their marriage another try. The couple began to hear the discussions together. "After a lot of discussions with the elders—and dinners with members—we were baptized," says Brother Green. Last February, the Greens, along with their three young daughters, were sealed in the Chicago Illinois Temple.
Like early Latter-day Saint pioneers who traveled west across Iowa to reach Winter Quarters, Nebraska, the Greens and other members of the Ames stake now also travel west to Winter Quarters—to attend their new temple, dedicated on 22 April 2001. "This temple is particularly special to us, because it reminds us of the legacy of faith of thousands of Latter-day Saint pioneers who crossed our state," says President Schafer. Today, instead of continuing west after going to Winter Quarters, Latter-day Saints of the Ames stake return to their homes east from the temple to build up Zion in their part of the world.—, Ames First Ward, Ames Iowa Stake

TempleReady Upgrade Released
A new version of TempleReady and an update of the International Genealogical Index (IGI) are now in Church Family History Centers.
The new TempleReady 2.0 software for Windows® helps members prepare names for submission to temples. The IGI is an index of all previously performed ordinance work. With this update of 62 million names, the massive library now contains some 347 million names on more than 60 CDs. TempleReady's last upgrade was in 1997.
In order to prevent duplication, TempleReady compares names being submitted with the 347 million names of those for whom ordinance work has already been done. It then saves the names to a separate file for temple work of those for whom the work has not been done. The new version will also update the user's Personal Ancestral File if it finds that work for someone on the file has already been done.
Another new feature is a built-in tutorial that teaches how to use the program and the Family History Center. TempleReady is now distributed in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Japanese.

BYU Announces Institute for Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts
Elder Merrill J. Bateman of the Seventy, president of Brigham Young University, has announced the creation of the university's Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts. The new institute includes within it BYU's Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS). It will deal with translation and publishing of the Middle Eastern texts as well as the preservation of ancient religious texts.
President Bateman said the institute was created to increase public access to ancient religious records. The production of the Dead Sea Scrolls on CD-ROM, the Islamic Translation Series, and image-acquisition and electronic publication are examples of the work being done at the BYU institute.
Washington D.C. Stake Relief Society Aids Zimbabwe
Some 200 Relief Society sisters and other members of the Washington D.C. Stake worked together in March to produce thousands of humanitarian aid items to be sent to Zimbabwe. The stake made quilts, leper bandages, dresses, newborn kits, sewing kits, and hygiene kits.
Ambassador Simbi Veke Mubako from the Republic of Zimbabwe and his wife, Dr. Hazel Mubako, attended the final day of the service project and spoke about the tremendous need for help in their country. The ambassador noted that 25 percent of his nation's 12 million population are AIDS patients. Most of these are orphan babies whose parents died from the disease.
Iowa Museum Features Danish Latter-day Saint Immigration
The Danish Immigrant Museum, located in the Danish community of Elk Horn, Iowa, is running a new exhibit, "Wilderness Exodus: The Danish Mormon Experience in America," from 7 May through 28 October 2001.
The exhibit documents missionary work in Denmark, the arduous journey from Denmark to Utah, and the activities of the settlers in their new home. The museum will also sponsor a series of lectures about the experiences of early Latter-day Saints as they traveled across Iowa.
The gospel was first taught in Denmark in 1850.
Policies and Announcements
Discontinuation of Local Church Unit Web Sites
The following letter, dated 15 March 2001, has been sent to local unit priesthood leaders by the Presiding Bishopric:
"As you know, the Church has developed several official Church Internet sites. These sites contain approved, correlated material that the Church has deemed appropriate for the Internet. New and updated material will continue to appear on these sites.
"As the Church grows, it is very important that information presented to the world be accurate and dignified and that it represent a single, unified Church voice. In addition, it is imperative that the rights of third parties be protected and respected through strict compliance with applicable laws.
"With this in mind, a policy for the creation, operation, and maintenance of local unit web sites is being developed and will be sent to priesthood leaders. Until the policy is established, the First Presidency has requested that local Church units and organizations should not create or sponsor web sites. They have also determined that existing sites should be discontinued. If you have questions pertaining to these instructions, please call 1-801-240-3678. We request that local leaders give appropriate attention to this matter."
Chains of Pornography
The article "Breaking the Chains of Pornography" touched me so much. I felt as though I was reading my own journal. I cannot thank you enough for bringing to light the possibilities that are open to us when we follow the counsel of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the prompting of the Holy Ghost. I was especially thankful that the article pointed out a way to overcome such trials.
I feel blessed that our family is overcoming a very similar situation. This article came as a reassurance to my heart that Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers.
Name Withheld
Song of Hope
Thank you for the article "A Song of Hope" (Dec. 2000). I had been feeling sorry for myself because I felt I could not help people the way I wanted to, but when I read this story I was so impressed by Pierre Anthian and his desire to serve. It gave me hope that I too could reach my goal of helping others to be their best self.

Agnes Gavin is commonly historicised as a supporting figure to her husband's film ambitions. This inaccurate perception, however, minimises her contribution to early Australian silent film, most notably as one of the first female scriptwriters to achieve international success with her scripts. Agnes Adele Wangenhein was born in Sydney in 1872. In 1890, she married Barney Kurtz, however they divorced shortly after. On 1 October 1898, she married stage actor John Frances Henry Gavin. Gavin and her husband both worked as actors in the Bland Holt stage company and in vaudeville for many years. Gavin made her credited debut in (1910). In this film, Gavin played an Aboriginal girl named Bunda. Gavin's husband then began to direct his own films. Gavin played small parts in her husband's films and was credited as scenario writer for (1911), (1911), (1911), (1911), (1911) and (1911). In 1916 Gavin and her husband released their most successful film,, for the Australian Famous Feature Company. The film told the story of English nurse Edith Cavell who was executed by the German Army in October 1915. Written by Gavin, the film was well received in Australia, Britain and the USA. Gavin's next script again focused upon German war atrocities. (1917) told of the murder of a commander of a merchant ship. This film was not received as well. After this unsuccessful script, she returned to the subject of bushrangers and convicts in (1918). Later in 1918, Gavin and her husband moved to Hollywood where her husband acted in Western and comedy feature films. It is not known what Gavin did during this time. In 1925, Gavin and her husband returned to Australia permanently. Upon return, she wrote her final scripts for (1928) and (1928).

Hello fans and blogger friends! It's been months since I have posted, and in the meantime I've received so many messages asking my whereabouts that I can't keep up with the replies! Thanks so much for all the love – I just wanted to post a quick note to say yes, all is well. Other priorities have, well, taken priority in my life, plus I've decided that the 40+ hours a week I spend being paid to sit in front of a computer are MORE than enough computer time for me. 🙂
I plan to keep my blog, Facebook page and Instagram online, although inactive, so those who wish can enjoy the archives. I might jump back into the blog world someday… You never know! Meanwhile, I still take a peek now and then at those of you who are still blogging, even though I don't have much time to read detailed posts or compose thoughtful comments. You might, at least, see me "like" an Instagram post here and there – it's impossible to quit cold turkey. 😉 You all are still inspiring me! <3

The community of Rockford is diminished by the loss of Clarence, who died Friday, July 16 at the age of 95. He leaves a legacy behind in the many kindnesses he regularly bestowed to those around him and in his photographic record of the town, especially sports.
He had a life-long love of cameras and had an extensive collection. After the estate sale of his home, he donated many of the cameras to The Rockford Squire newspaper. They are on display along with photographs of many well-known politicians and celebrities Clarence took over the years.
Clarence was very involved with politics and had opportunities to photograph many well-known politicians. He often picked them up at the Kent County Airport (now Gerald R. Ford International Airport) and spent time with them while in Grand Rapids.
He took many pictures of Jerry Ford, often here in Rockford. Included in his collection is Tip O'Neal, Henry Kissinger, the seniorGeorge H. Bush, and many others.
Celebrity photographs were also donated for display to The Squire. Visitors will see Pearl Bailey and Liz Taylor as well as local artist and philanthropist Paul Collins.
When talking to Clarence, friends could hear harrowing stories of World War II that could bring tears. Clarence used to share those stories in The Squire and Publisher Roger Allen had the works published in a book.
A Personal Account of WWII by Draftee #36887149 was published in 1998. Clarence donated sales of the book to the Rockford Historical Society, of which he was a founding member, and Rockford Rotary, an organization to which he was dedicated his entire adult life.
Clarence was proud of the book and his contribution to remembering the men who died in World War II. He often spoke of the loss of boys he knew during the war. "They just wanted to know they wouldn't be forgotten," he would say with tears in his own eyes.
Inside one of the books Clarence wrote in a shaking script "350,000 U.S. men were killed. One million were wounded." Below that he wrote, "War is hell. I was there. Clarence Blakeslee."
Clarence left an impression on those he met and those he helped. Literally thousands of his photographs are at the Rockford Historical Society. As a member of the Rockford community where he did so much and gave so much, Clarence, like the men in World War II he wrote about, will not be forgotten.

by Voddie Baucham from his Facebook statusesFor those of you who don't follow the news or football or NFL let's summarize this: Ray Rice, running back for the Baltimore Ravens NFL team, beat his then fiancee and was suspended for a couple of games until the website TMZ posted the video of the incident. In the video Rice hits his fiancee so hard she's knocked unconscious in a hotel elevator before he drags her out of frame. After the NFL was chided for their slap on the wrist of Rice they then suspended him indefinitely and the Baltimore Ravens team cut him from their team. … [Read more...]

Growing Up Duggar – Part 2 Foreword: Winning Souls Via Television
by Suzanne Titkemeyer cross posted from her blog True Love Doesn't RapePages XIII to XVI "Lord, we pray that our family can impact the world for You!" This portion of the Foreword was titled "Racing Against Time" and details how Michelle and Jim Bob prayed the above prayer years before they were anywhere near the public radar screen. They state that the prayer was also humbly asking God to keep all of them on the right track, but in reality there's not much humble about that type of thinking as it presumes that their way is the only right way, more of a 'use us, oh God, because we are the most righteous!' … [Read more...]

It's funny how things work sometimes. In the world of comic books The Avengers were formed in reaction the huge success of DC's Justice League of America and now, fifty years later, the reverse is happening on the silver screen.
Marvel's interconnected film world - an experiment that culminated with 'Avengers Assemble' - has proven to be the next step for superhero films on the big screen. It was a success to the tune of $1.5 billion, and Marvel are now building to an 'Avengers' sequel in 2015.
Elsewhere Sony Pictures are reportedly working towards bringing supervillain team the Sinister Six to battle Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, and over at Fox Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan's X-Men will next year come face to face with James McEvoy and Michael Fassbender's younger X-Men in 'Days of Future Past'.
[Zack Snyder defends 'Man of Steel's huge death toll]
Warner Bros and DC comics are taking their time, but even if a Justice League movie is as far off as 2017, are things really going to work as well for them as they have for Marvel?
Marvel Studios' success was built on two things - the universally celebrated 'Iron Man' and risk.
There's always a risk in bringing a new superhero to the big screen but on top of that was the risk in hiring director Jon Favreau, who had never directed a major blockbuster, and the casting of Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr was the biggest risk of all, but five years on he's the biggest movie star in the world and the linchpin of the 'Avengers' universe, so it's safe to say the risk paid off.
[Ben Affleck could direct Justice League movie as part of Batman deal]
By comparison 'Man of Steel', which marks DC and Warner Bros' first step towards their own superhero mash-up, was less of a success and largely devoid of risk. Zack Snyder was an obvious choice of director and was to blame for most of the films problems as well.
In a quest to emulate the serious tone of Christopher Nolan's wildly popular Dark Knight trilogy Snyder made his Superman reboot a sterile, emotionless and humourless blob of CGI.
Tone has been incredibly important to Marvel's films - each having a sense of fun that has offset the inherent silliness of comic book adventures. Here's a billionaire, a World War 2 vet frozen in time, an enormous green rage monster and a Norse God. It's incredibly silly, but it works because the films know and embraces that very fact.
If 'Man of Steel' is an indication of the series' future tone then seeing a Batman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman on screen isn't going to work when juxtaposed with an air of seriousness.
[Batman vs Superman: Bryan Cranston cast as Lex Luthor]
Casting has proven problematic too - specifically the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman in the sequel heading to cinemas in 2015. Actors have proven fans wrong before, but it's hard to imagine Affleck's Dark Knight being as great or beloved as Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark, Chris Evans' Captain America or Tom Hiddleston's Loki.
Rumours had suggested that a Justice League movie was going to rushed to release in 2015, so it's good to know Warner Bros are prepared to take their time. The inclusion of TV series in their universe - one starring Green Arrow already being a success and another starring The Flash on the way - is also interesting and could well reap benefits.
The real test will come when the studio has to make a step on the big screen that doesn't involve their two most loved creations. It could well be Wonder Woman who becomes the studio's first big screen departure from Batman and Superman, and that film will prove pivotal to the lasting success of DC's cinematic universe.
Do you think DC's road to a Justice League movie will be successful? What problems could they face along the way? Let us know in the comments below…
Ben Skipper is a freelance writer and Batman nut. He makes time to read Long Halloween and Watchmen at least once a year and hopes Warner Bros' attempts to make a connected DC universe for the big screen are successful, even if so far he's been less than impressed.

Instead of one large centerpiece that might look a little lonely, display smaller clusters of varied arrangements evenly spaced at every other place setting. Limit the centerpiece height to below eye level—it's likely that platters of food and bottles of wine will be passed back and forth in this family-style setup, so you don't want the flowers to get in the way. Also make sure that arrangements are on the narrow side (10 inches wide or less) to leave plenty of room for place settings.

Do you have any information about a new Trojan hitting Hotmail and Yahoo!? I heard a snippet about it the other day, but I would like to know more about it. If you know anything, please share it with us!
Well, unfortunately, you heard right. As of July 6, 2007, it seems as if various Hotmail and Yahoo! accounts have been hijacked to send out spam messages. And we're not talking about just a few spam e-mails here. They have been sending out thousands upon thousands since the beginning of all this. Also, just in case you're wondering, all of this information is coming from the security firm of BitDefender. Alright, now that you know the basics of the situation, let's look into this a little more.
The reason all of this is happening is because Hotmail and Yahoo! have been hit by a new Trojan virus called Trojan.Spammer.HotLan.A. Once the Trojan hits either a Hotmail or Yahoo! account, it starts to generate spam messages and sends them out. The Trojan is also able to generate new Webmail accounts automatically. And on top of all that, the malware has also found a way to get past the CAPTCHA tests that are used for anti-spam purposes.
This is basically what goes on. The Trojan accesses a Webmail account and then goes and finds encrypted spam messages to use. It then decrypts those messages so they can be sent out to any legitimate e-mail address it can find. So, as you can see, users can be hit unexpectedly and very quickly if they don't keep their eyes open. And that includes you if you have a Hotmail or Yahoo! account.
Now, in your Inbox, the e-mail you'll see is from a Web site that is trying to sell pharmacy products. This is something that can be tempting and it can seem very legit, so it's easy for the Trojan to confirm your e-mail address and then get ahold of even more by rooting through your contacts list.
As of now, according to the head of the BitDefender antivirus lab, approximately 500 new accounts are being created every hour. But as a whole, over 15,000 Hotmail and Yahoo! accounts have been used. Therefore, it's really hard to determine how many spam e-mails have gone out, because the Trojan is able to multiply them without any trouble.
Please remember that I'm not trying to frighten you with this information. It is my job to keep you informed and that's what I always intend to do. I know this news is pretty scary for any of you who are using Hotmail or Yahoo!, but please don't panic too much. Just keep your eyes open for suspicious e-mails and delete any unusual e-mails as quickly as you can. Once you delete them from your Inbox, make sure they are deleted from your Trash folder as well. Also, be sure to run your antivirus, spyware, etc. scans on a regular basis. If there's anything going on within your system in terms of a Trojan, your security programs will be able to catch it.
Again, don't panic. Just be cautious and use some common sense when you're checking your e-mail each day. If you do that, you're going to be just fine. And by that time, the pros will probably have an easy fix for this and they'll put a stop to it anyway. There's always hope in tomorrow!

The snip, snip, snip of scissors fills the silent space. Titanic blades hover on a floating screen, hacking at a curtain of hair. Wait – it's not hair at all, but strands of white string that seem to tumble off the screen into piles on the parquet floor. Step around the display and you nearly trip on one of the 500 or so ghostly objects, a dozen jumble sales' worth of kettles, watering cans, stock pots, staplers, trivets, picnic baskets and kitchen utensils, all sheathed in thin layers of thread. These spectral housewares sprawl across the space, transfigured by Lin Tianmiao's wizardry.
This piece, "Bound and Unbound", lends its title to a hypnotic retrospective at the Asia Society, surveying Lin's work from 1995 to the present. It's an apt description of an oeuvre that deals with constraint and liberation, the female body's limitations and mutability.
Lin specialises in swaddling things in filaments of fibre, a technique she calls "thread winding". Tools, bones and sewing machines all turn into totems as they succumb to her compulsive web-making. A surrealist at heart, Lin comes closest to Louise Nevelson in her integration of odds and ends into monumental – and monumentally ambiguous – meditations on femininity.
She is one of the few Chinese women who have leapt to a peak of power and prestige in a landscape dominated by men. Lin was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, in 1961, the daughter of two artists who schooled her in traditional crafts. A vivid memory of helping her mother sew clothes for the family still infiltrates everything she has done. In the 1980s, Lin and her husband, the video artist Wang Gongxin, decamped to New York, joining an artistic diaspora that included future celebrities Ai Weiwei, Xu Bing and the composer Tan Dun. She found work as a textile designer and in her free time explored galleries and museums, digesting the body-based innovations of Kiki Smith and Louise Bourgeois.
Lin's creative engine started churning slowly towards the end of her stay in New York, and picked up steam when she got back to China in 1995. That year she exhibited "Proliferation of Thread Winding", a harrowing installation in which thousands of menacing needles bristle from a slit in the centre of a mattress. The bed floats fluffily, leaking lengths of string that cascade to the floor and wind around scattered, spore-like balls. The piece sets pliable fabric against metallic aggression, obliquely commenting on conflicts between men and women.
Lin briefly slid through an unfortunate middle period of grotesque realism, featuring a range of thickened or emaciated human bodies slathered in satin. "Chatting" (2004) spotlights a cluster of heavyset, headless women whose box-like necks contain speakers that emit peals of laughter, panting, grunts and mixed-up mutterings. Near this klatch of pudgy muses, a gothic trio of aged men hovers awkwardly, skinny haunches sheathed in pink. These works are spooky and superficially discomfiting but don't, in the end, have a whole lot to say.
In the past few years, Lin has returned to wrapping objects in thread, a technique that unleashes her expressivity. In "More or Less the Same", she uses silver cord to bind together fake human bones and hand tools, creating mutant gadgets that skitter across an entire gallery. The result resembles a collection of strange archaeological finds: skulls fused with spatulas, a propeller mounted on a spine. Lin's phantasms conjure a bionic beauty that's almost comforting, a tender portrait of the intimate and ancient partnership between people and the things they make.
'Bound Unbound: Lin Tianmiao' continues until January 27, www.asiasociety.org

International Grains Program Offers Annual Extrusion Processing Course ... Aug. 13-16 ... Manhattan, KS
Date Posted: June 12, 2013
Manhattan, KS—Those interested in learning the latest in ingredient innovations and equipment usage relating to extrusion processing should consider attending the International Grains Program's annual Extrusion Processing course.
The hands-on training opportunity is scheduled for Aug. 13-16, 2013.
The course, geared toward technical and managerial personnel representing the food, pet food, and feed industries and ingredient companies, will provide professional insight from experts in industry and academia, as well as hands-on training sessions.
The training will also focus on the science and practice of consumer acceptance studies for new products.
Along with learning about the fundamentals and operations, researchers will also learn the latest trends in extrusion processing and information on how to set up an extrusion-based business.
Learning about the technology is one part of the course, but participants also receive training from the business angle.
Decision making and economics are both vital in the success of any business.
"The intricacies of setting up an extrusion-based business including capital decision-making and strategic planning are addressed in this course," says Sajid Alavi, course coordinator and associate professor of grain science and industry.
"Case studies are conducted with an emphasis on both the U.S. and developing world markets."
The lectures will provide detailed insight into processing of a diverse range of extruded products including breakfast cereals, snacks, textured soy protein, pet food, and feed for poultry and aquatic species.
Classroom experiences are reinforced by the interactive lab exercises and demonstrations for participants at the K-State Extrusion Laboratory as well as a field trip to Wenger Manufacturing in Sabetha, Kan.
Aside from the learning that goes on in the classroom and in the lab, Alavi believes one of the greatest aspects of the course is the networking that occurs between the class participants and speakers.
One past participant wrote on their evaluation, "Every aspect was informative. I have several recommendations to take back to my company."
Another one says, "The real world case studies are great. This separates this extrusion course form any other I have attended."
For more information, go to the IGP website at www.ksu.edu/igp.
To register for the course, go to the IGP on-line registration site at www.igpevents.grains.ksu.
Sign-up discounts for early bird registration have been extended through June 28, 2013.
This is just one example of the many partnership trainings offered through IGP.
In addition to feed manufacturing and grain management, IGP offers trainings in the areas of flour milling and grain processing, and grain marketing and risk management.

Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol that's commonly used as a sweetener in many consumer goods such as sugar-free gums, candies and mints, children's vitamins, mouthwash, toothpaste, baked goods and desserts. It's also available in a granulated form for baking and as a sweetener. Increasingly, it's also being used in pediatric drug formulations. Though it's been used extensively in Europe, it has only recently gained popularity in the US.
Though safe for humans to consume, even in large quantities, it's extremely toxic to dogs. In dogs, xylitol causes a strong release of insulin, the hormone responsible for allowing glucose to enter cells. If insulin concentrations are too high, blood glucose levels can drop to a dangerously low level (hypoglycemia).
Rapid onset of hypoglycemia and, later, the devastating death of liver tissue are the most common pathologies linked to xylitol intoxication in this species. Death is a common sequel to intoxication, especially if dogs do not receive rapid veterinary attention.
Though extremely toxic in dogs, it's not believed to exert similar effects in other companion animal species. However, because cats are largely unmotivated to consume sweets, it has not been thoroughly researched in this species. Owners should therefore observe caution when using xylitol-containing products.
Vomiting is the most common initial sign of xylitol toxicity. After that, hypoglycemia
can develop –– usually within thirty to sixty minutes after ingestion. But for some reason, hypoglycemia can be delayed in some of these patients (up to twelve hours).
The clinical signs of hypoglycemia can progress quickly from lethargy and ataxia to seizures and collapse within just a few short minutes. It's during this period that most dogs are transported to a veterinary facility for treatment. If not treated rapidly, these dogs may succumb to the effects of hypoglycemia.
Initial blood work typically reveals a profound hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia is also a possibility in some cases, however, a fact that's typically attributed to their body's emergency response to extremely low blood sugar levels (referred to as the Somogyi effect). Other abnormalities in the lab work may include low potassium and low phosphorus levels.
Surprisingly, it seems that not all dogs will develop initial signs related to low blood sugar. Some dogs may, instead, progress to a period during which their livers will begin to fail. Dogs who have experienced the hypoglycemia after xylitol ingestion may also progress to this stage. This usually starts within twelve to twenty-four hours after exposure to xylitol. Death is likely if the toxic insult to the liver leads to its necrosis (death of liver cells).
Diagnosis is typically achieved after obtaining a history of xylitol ingestion. It's presumed, however, that many dogs have died as a result of undiagnosed xylitol intoxication. The non-specific nature of the symptoms and the lack of awareness of xylitol's presence in consumer products have doubtless conspired to confound diagnosis and therefore delay treatment.
Any breed of dog can be affected. Some breeds may be more sensitive than others but this has not yet been worked out.
Vomiting can be induced if an animal has a history of xylitol ingestion within the past hour and is asymptomatic. A seizuring animal should never be treated with emetics!
Treatment of xylitol toxicity is generally considered supportive. There is no known antidote. Correcting low blood glucose levels and administering fluids is the mainstay of treatment early on.
All dogs should be monitored for the possibility of liver disease over a period of a few days. Those who do show signs of liver involvement should also receive supportive treatment. This may even include plasma or whole blood transfusions.
The cost of veterinary treatment of xylitol intoxication depends on the degree to which the dog is affected and the knowledge that a dog has been exposed.
If dogs are treated soon after exposure, blood sugar levels can be reasonably maintained, and dogs never progress to a stage of liver involvement, intensive care for only a day or two may be the only expense. Even so, a minimum of $500 per day is to be expected.
If hepatic involvement ensues, dogs will typically need to be hospitalized for a period of a few days to a week in an intensive care setting. This can cost upwards of $1,000 or more a day.
Knowing what goes into your consumer goods and keeping them away from dogs should they contain xylitol is the ideal approach in this case.

MILFs and cougars are all well and good if you're looking for an experienced hand to teach you a thing or ten, but if you feel you've got some sexual wisdom to impart, perhaps you'd be more comfortable in the company of an 18-year-old slut-to-be. Well, if such ladies are of interest to you, you'll be amazed at the beauties to be seen stripping, masturbating, and fucking both each other and some lucky fellows on 18 X Girls. With a distinctly European style and bright, clear HD videos, 18 X Girls is a promising porn site.
Who's the top girl in extreme BDSM porn? Well, after Sister Dee stepped off to enjoy other pursuits, it's not one woman but a string of them, each one coming to Intersec's all-female flogging bonanza for the chance to meet and potentially mistreat a new submissive girl! Top Grl is a brutal, even scary site dealing in the most intense bondage and domination you can imagine. From dominating restaints to whips so striking they very nearly break the skin, Top Grl might just be too intense for you, dear reader, but not for its incredible dommes and subs.
An "Adult Doorway" could be anything from an 18th birthday party to your first car or first job to losing your virginity, but in this case it's a network of nine hardcore porn sites ranging from the stale and boring to the totally insane, outrageous, and extreme. With faces, pussies, and asses all invaded and pounded with nothing held back, this network's fans and members enjoy HD renderings of brutal face-fucking sessions and plenty more deviant activities, all under the supervision of Adult Doorway.
Just like the fastest cars in the world demand the wildest, most daring drivers so too does A-grade gay hardcore need the most adventurous men. Well, it has them here at High Performance Men, a site that, although very new and very small, is already showing a huge amount of promise. Although it holds a very simple premise - hot-as-fuck guys giving their all in stroking, sucking, and fucking scenes - content is delivered beautifully and keeps you wanting more. Don't jump the gun, though, as the site won't be for everyone. To find out if it's, you know, you or not, check out Mr. Pink's first review of High Performance Men. I hope the first of many.
The saying goes "Give a guy a bus ticket and he'll get where he's going; give a guy a bus and, assuming he's both gay and sexually perverse, with a fondness for straight guys, he'll turn it into the Bait Bus." Ok, so I made up that particular pearl of wisdom, but Bait Bus is very much a real thing and you can vicariously ride it with the owners and (usually) Alexis Fawx. What's a women doing on a homosexual hardcore site, you ask? Why, she's there to lure in the straighties, seduce them pantsless, and do anything she can to convince these blindfolded pussy-fiends that it's her finely formed mouth wrapped around their throbbing member, not that of an anonymous and previously hidden man. If anyone told me I'd be fucking Alexis Fawx then substituted her for some guy, I'd be as livid as Bait Bus's hetero riders tend to be when they find out they just spunked on the face of someone named "Bud" and not a busty, lusty, better make that super-busty pornstar babe. Boom, chud, you got sperma-served!
Everyone has their kinky little secret, the one thing they've been dying to try but have never had the guts to voice to a partner. Whether it's watersports, humiliations, Japanese shibari bondage, sub/dom play, or a fishnetted footbjob, My Best Fetish is pornstar Tiffany Preston's attempt to shock you into an orgasm. For $24.95 a month, members of My Best Fetish can enjoy exclusive access to more than 350 scenes, many of them in HD formats, all of them offering scintillating and definitely risque smut activities that'll make sure you never look at your fishnet-wearing coworker the same way again.
If you've somehow never witnessed the incredible Ava Devine sucking and fucking her way through California, Nevada, New York, and (if her salacious Twitter is to be believed) the entire world, you're seriously missing out. There is no more adventurous, outrageous, or courageous woman in porn, folks, and her official Pornstar Platinum website, also called Ava Devine, proves this with a hefty helping of extraordinarily hardcore sex scenes that show Ava banging her male, female, and trans friends for her entertainment and (at least marginally) yours.
Into the darkened booths of a Phoenix adult video store we go with Glory Hole Swallow with cum-hungry women in tow and only one thing on the agenda: to suck the dick of every horny guy who puts his pecker through that well-worn hole in the wall and, gulp, swallow each load! Glory Hole Swallow doesn't mess around with many pleasantries or formalities and simply thrusts its cum-sluts into the spurt-light so they can satisfy their craving for cum. Wanna watch it all go down in (surprisingly) brilliant HD? Glory Hole Swallow is open for business.

The Greyhound dog that is.
Make the same choice that neglected minors and just released convicts make:
Go Greyhound and and leave the driving to
that overworked, underpaid guy in the front of the bus who you've never met who is bumming smokes from a teenager.
You may have noticed the exterior redesign of Greyhound buses lately.
Here is the old paint job.
Here is the new paint job.
Inside, it is the same old scene because no paint can cover up the discomfort of strangers forced to sit too close to each other.
But hey, you're on the road and at least you're not at home fantasizing and idealizing the joys of "being on the road." This is real life so you better wake up.
No really you better wake up at every stop on the Greyhound or an exiting passenger will steal your backpack.
Here are some other hints that will help you make the Greyhound your bitch.
1. Take up smoking and buy a carton of cigarettes before your trip.
Smoking at every stop will give you opportunities to meet fellow passengers, form alliances, and hear about plans to steal from sleeping non-smokers.
Cigarettes are a currency on the dog and you want to freely share smokes as a means of acquiring political power BEFORE you need a favor.
2. Do not use any electronic device that may elicit envy from your busmates. That means no smartphone, no eReader, and for gods sake no iPad.
You can safely use an old school Gameboy.
3. Please do not read, as you will be viewed as someone who thinks they are "too good," and you will become less popular. If you insist on reading, at least shrug and say that "it's for a class."
Finally, just remember that going Greyhound, is like going back to high school. Accept your position in the hierarchy and do your best to fit in!

No, you don't have to wash it out. I actually leave it in until wash day (once/2 weeks).
As for the white film, just rub it in very well and you won't have it. Avoid getting it on your actual hair as it makes it dull and greasy looking (but I wear wigs so I don't care much personally).
It has no particular scent so it isn't noticeable to others in that sense btw.

Easy to Moderate Terrain: 6-12 Miles Daily
Covering some 800 green square miles, the Cotswolds are England's largest "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty"—and it's easy to see why. Its ancient limestone villages and gentle hills (or "wolds") are the very essence of England. Though time appears to stand still here, you won't! You'll follow detailed maps from the historic market town of Moreton-in-Marsh to Bourton-on-the- Water, the "Venice of the Cotswolds." Peruse antique shops in Stow-on-the-Wold, then meander to the Saxon capital of Winchcombe, site of 500-year-old Sudeley Castle. Your walk to Broadway enthralls with 16th-century architecture and an 18th-century folly tower. Delve still deeper into history at the ruins of Hailes Abbey, an important Cistercian monastery. Explore the almshouses and covered market of Chipping Campden on a route rich with discoveries—from tiny shops and Elizabethan cottages to gourmet restaurants and classic village pubs where you can savor a pint with the locals.
