Weaver exhibiting paintings on canvas for first time
"Rude. Crude. From the hip."
That's how Wilmington artist Zach Weaver describes the fliers he created for his "Art For Lovers" solo exhibition at Browncoat Pub and Theatre, fliers he hand-painted over pornographic magazine images.
Rude, crude and from the hip is also how Weaver describes the exhibit itself, which he's presenting in a very atypical format: Beginning Friday and ending April 12, Weaver is putting on nine nights of events involving a plethora of performers – some seasoned entertainers, some virgins of the stage, some friends, some folks Weaver's never met in his life – all taking the Browncoat stage to perform something they've never tried before.
"It's kind of the punchline of it being a solo show," Weaver said. "I'm trying to involve as many people as I possibly can."
Weaver himself is giving something new a try for "Art for Lovers." He frequently exhibits his surreal, boldly colored, pen-and-marker drawings throughout the Port City. But this is his first exhibition of paintings on canvas he began to experiment with last summer. The subject matter is similar to some of his pen-and-ink works. In more than one work, Weaver fills the entire canvas with a portion of his subject. The square, headless torsos of "Toy Story's" Buzz Lightyear and Woody join goopy, multi-eyed canvas-shaped monsters, which Weaver refers to as "pet abominations that you hang on your wall."
Throughout the exhibition, Weaver will be working on a giant backdrop for his collaborators to perform in front of. He doesn't have any particular plans for the backdrop, but Weaver hopes it will morph throughout the nine days, like free sketching. He's approaching the entire event with a similar, organic approach.
"I want it to be an exercise in freedom in multiple forms of art," Weaver said. "I'm trying to build the backdrop using the same rhythms of the mind I would use if were just relaxing and sketching a drawing that doesn't matter. I tried to put the show together in the same way, and let it evolve based on what came to me, rather than getting a clear idea and freaking out when something didn't go my way."
In a sense, "Art for Lovers" isn't so much a showcase of Weaver's paintings, but a nine-day evolving art piece that could get weird, but might just move you.

Original paper
Micro-Raman spectroscopy for a quick and reliable identification of serpentine minerals from ultramafics
Groppo, Chiara; Rinaudo, Caterina; Cairo, Simona; Gastaldi, Daniela; Compagnoni, Roberto
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 18 Number 3 (2006), p. 319 - 329
published: Jul 7, 2006
ArtNo. ESP147051803005, Price: 29.00 €
Identifying serpentine minerals in rocks is generally accomplished by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersion Spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), both of which require complicated sample preparation. In this work, we evaluate the use of micro-Raman spectroscopy, which requires no sample preparation, in identifying the different serpentine minerals contained in thin sections of serpentinized peridotites, where the various phases occur in different microstructural positions. The micro-Raman spectra were obtained from samples previously characterized by optical microscopy, SEM-EDS and TEM. Micro-Raman spectroscopy proved to be a quick, easy and reliable method for the identification of serpentine minerals.

Songwriters in the Round With Natalia Zukerman, AG (Adrianne Gonzalez), Richard Julian, Annie Keating
Union Hall - Brooklyn
702 Union Street
Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
Natalia Zukerman grew up in New York City, studied art at Oberlin, worked in mural arts in San Francisco, began her songwriting career in Boston, and now resides, writes, plays and paints in Brooklyn, NY. The daughter of classical musicians Eugenia and Pinchas Zukerman, Natalia found her sound in other strings – those on slide guitar, lap steel, dobro. She found kinship in the earthiness and honesty of folk, bluegrass, jazz and blues music.
Since 2001, Zukerman has released five studio albums and one live album – 2013′s Gypsies & Clowns, which was recorded live at SPACE in Evanston, IL. For the shows, Zukerman invited a big group of her musical friends to present over twenty songs from her catalogue, including the well-known tracks "Gas Station Roses," "Brand New Frame" and "Howard Hughes."
Gypsies & Clowns typifies Zukerman's artistic process in that she's a frequent collaborator. She's worked with fellow musicians such as Janis Ian, Willy Porter, Susan Werner, Erin McKeown, AG, Garrison Starr and many others. She also joined with well-known folk singer/songwriters Anne Heaton, Antje Duvekot and Meg Hutchinson for an album in 2008, titled Winterbloom, which they also named the band. Since then, they have toured each year throughout November and December, offering both original and traditional songs inspired by winter. Zukerman has also performed at such festivals as Lilith Fair, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Philadelphia Folk Fest, Michigan Womyns Fest, Sisters Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folk Fest and more. Her new album Come Thief, Come Fire is out 9/16 on Talisman Records.
"Natalia's voice could send an orchid into bloom while her guitar playing can open a beer bottle with its teeth." –New Yorker
"a strutting brass band one minute, a sighing lover the next." –The Boston Globe
"a wise mix of rootsy styles from torch blues to country swing. If you're a fan of Madeleine Peyroux, Bonnie Raitt or even Amy Winehouse, you'll find stuff to connect with here." –Philadelphia Daily News
AG (Adrianne Gonzalez)
Richard Julian
Best country music albums of 2015 TELEGRAPH.CO.UK
"Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Annie Keating is building the reputation her talent deserves..."
Lucinda Williams. John Prine. Allison Krauss. Willie Nelson. Gillian Welch. Bonnie Raitt. Emmy Lou Harris, Patty Griffin. This is a short list of the musicians Annie Keating has been compared to over the last 10 years.
With her sixth album, "Make Believing" Keating proves herself even more worthy of that list, with her strongest album to date. The songs on this record are tender, raucous and raw, all of them shot through with intelligence and feeling. Keating, who picked up a guitar at age 12 and taught herself a few chords and never stopped playing, writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe — in that way that only the best artists can — that all of is worth the cost.
NO DEPRESSION'S Lee Zimmerman raves,
"Keating navigates the Americana environs also inhabited by Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin and Lucinda Williams, and in doing so, proves she's every bit their equal."
"HONEST, REFRESHING ... Gritty-yet-pretty tunes ..." -- New York Post
Talent spotted by BBC Radio 2's Bob Harris, Keating appeared live on the Bob Harris show in 2008 and has gone on to perform at leading national and international festivals including Take Root (the Netherlands), the Glasgow Americana Festival (Scotland), NXNE (Canada) and the Brooklyn Indie Music Fest. She has performed on the bill with John Haitt, Dan Bern, Bon Iver and other great songwriters. She lives with her family in Brooklyn, NYC.

For some, the painful memories of World War II remain fresh in their minds.
South Korea
Yeah, your grandma is cool, but does she have a YouTube channel with over 290,000 subscribers?
It's out with elevator music and in with more of this!
Pokémon lovers rejoice! There's now a whole new way to celebrate your fandom with these Pikachu-themed lunch boxes now on sale in South Korea!
A South Korean and North Korean gymnast have shown the world the two nations can live peacefully side-by-side with one selfie.
The dispute between the two Korean nations took a really odd turn when North Korea accused their southern counterpart of releasing deadly snakes along the border.
While the concept of a wild pig going crazy in a restaurant sounds like a fun time, this video shows how harrowing it can actually be.
The bluetooth system has been designed to help pregnant women secure a seat on the train.
Conan o-"fish"-ally cements his fame in South Korea by making an appearance in the drama One More Happy Ending as a talking goldfish.
South Korea is a popular travel destination adored by many, but a recent survey suggests that almost 80 percent of its citizens want out. Why?
Of course, the hair got plenty of attention…
With a multitude of potential threats radiating over the border from North Korea, South Korea can not be lax when it comes to security.
As such, Seoul places a premium value on the training and capabilities of its military and police forces. This is clearly illustrated through the para-military capabilities of the South Korean National Police (KNP) SWAT teams.
A 2014 video from LiveLeak shows the incredible training in small arms maneuvers that these SWAT members go through.
Who doesn't love a birthday? And while usually the best thing about birthdays is all the cool stuff you get, Starbucks Coffee is instead celebrating 16 years in Korea by giving things away.
To mark this special occasion, the coffee house chain has released a special range of merchandise including an anniversary mug, thermos and, very cool glass tumbler which changes colour as the temperature drops. The color-changing tumbler takes us back to when we were kids and Hypercolor T-shirts were all the rage.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that North and South Korea used to be the same country. On the one hand, you have South Korea, plastic surgery and cute baby capital of the world, and on the other hand you have North Korea, which is apparently constantly on fire, possibly due to "gasoline clams."
However, many would love to see the two Koreas reunited once again, among them South Korea's president, Park Geun-hye. In a speech that she gave at a recent meeting, she said that the two Koreas might even be reunited as soon as 2016.
This of course set off a chain of reactions from South Koreans online, some praising the idea of immediate unification while others criticized it – and not necessarily for the reasons you might think.
These days, it's not really out of the question to think that people, especially young Korean women, may have had plastic surgery at some point. Really, it's almost becoming the norm in some places. However, we'd like to think that there are still plenty of natural beauties out there too.
Recently, some photos surfaced on the Internet that are supposedly the high school photos of the South Korean beauty, DJ Soda. While normally one might think, "Wow, she really grew up!", thanks to the cosmetic surgery culture in South Korea, people are saying, "Hey, wait a minute, did she get work done?"
We've seen before how well-done make-up can be used to drastically alter a person's appearance, which, we suppose, is kind of the point. That said, many people (probably mostly guys who don't wear much make-up themselves) are still fascinated by its transformative powers.
And even if you're an experienced make-up artist, you may still find this simple video of a Korean woman removing half her make-up a fun exercise in perception.
While it's hard to believe, not everyone is born fitting perfectly into the extremely high (and sometimes, a little repetitive) standards of what a person "should" look like. Recently, some Korean net users were reminded of this little fact of life when they came across photos of a gorgeously curvaceous South Korean fitness instructor during her days as a cute girl-next-door type.
Not believing the woman could become this dramatically beautiful without the help of a good plastic surgeon, the before and after pics sparked a debate about beauty standards and why we care so much about how we look. Click below to see more photos of the fitness guru who went from cute to va-va-voom.
If you've been reading up on our international medical news recently, you may have stumbled upon the shocking story of staff posing for photos during surgery on a patient at a hospital in China. While the news was disturbing to say the least, it seems they're not the only ones fooling around in the operating room, with a new set of images from a clinic in South Korea showing medical staff enjoying birthday cake, games and unabashed selfies, even with the patient lying unconscious in the medical chair.
Criticism of South Korean naval authorities has intensified as it is revealed that the country's only salvage and rescue ship was equipped with a fish-finding sonar instead of military-grade equipment.
ATS-II Tongyeong, a naval rescue vessel, was completed in 2012 at a cost of 159 billion won (US $150.7 million). But when the Sewol ferry sank on April 16 this year, Tongyeong was back in the construction yard, unable to be deployed to the rescue mission.
Now, defence suppliers face allegations that in the weeks following the ferry disaster, they knowingly attached a commercial sonar only suitable for salmon-fishing to Tongyeong, and tried to pass it off to the navy.
In many ways, art is one of the most human activities we can take part in–it leaves behind not only an expression of the person who created it, but also becomes a part of the narrative that future generations use to understand their history. In this case, the art is literally one of the oldest depictions of a Korean face known–and it certainly seems to be adding to the narrative in South Korea!
It's also drawing laughs due to a similarity to a certain South Korean rapper…

Twilight's Edward and Bella Are All Wet for EW Cover
UPDATE: In addition to the nautical debauchery depicted below, we've got two more innocuous photos featuring Pattinson and Stewart. While I find it hard to believe that either one of them knows how to play chess, they sell the whole "shocked phone call" thing like a charm.
EARLIER: This new Entertainment Weekly cover gives you a look at Twilight's star-crossed, and soggy, lovers. We've seen the first posters for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 before, but this is a closer look at Bella and Edward in action. Plus, it's the first appearance Robert Pattinson in a wedding ring,for the marriage-minded gals, and a shot of Kristen Stewart in a bra, for any straight guys/gay ladies in the audience.
The partially-clad shot is a newly risque turn for the teen-oriented series, which stresses the evils of premarital sex. But know that Edward liked it so much he put a ring on it, at the end of the last film, it's okay for the pair to get up to whatever water-based, baby-making shenanigans they feel like. It doesn't quite compare to True Blood's infamous nude Rolling Stone cover, but for the series so far, it's positively raunchy.
Expect more promotional photos to come, as BD-Day draws ever nearer. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1: Return Of The Jedi hits theaters November 16.

What is a PET scan?
A PET scan (positron emission tomography) is an imaging test that can help reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. To show this chemical activity, a small amount of radioactive material must enter your body.
The precise type of radioactive material, and its delivery method, depends on which organ or tissue is being studied by the PET scan. The radioactive material may be injected into a vein, inhaled or swallowed.
What are PET scans used for?
Currently, PET scans are most commonly used to detect:
- cancer
- heart problems
- brain disorders
- central nervous system disorders
Is the PET scan painfull?
When the radioactive substance is inserted into your vein you will feel temporary pain.
There shouldn't be any pain during the actual PET scan.
What other tests are combined with a PET scan?
PET scan is often combined with other imaging tests, such as CT scan and MRI.
The combination of the tests improves the clarity of the images and makes it easier for the physician to interpret the results.

text: I used to have a sony cybershot with no zoom. I think the model on it was dscu30. I mean for a camera you can go to clubbing with or just want to have to take quick fast pictures, it served its purpose. I also had a Olympus C-3020. This camera took decent pictures, but battery life sucked, it was too big to fit in my pocket, and it was slow at taking pictures. I wanted something that had the best of both worlds. Small size and decent picture quality. I got the Panasonic FX7 in black. This camera rocks. Especially the 2.5 inch screen. Cliffs. Had shitty cameras got a new camera, I'll post pictures when the battery finishes charging

Peace Pilgrim's
Peace Pilgrim, Cologne, N. J.
We seem always ready to pay the price of war. Almost gladly we give our time and our treasure - our limbs and even our lives - for war. But we expect to get peace for nothing. We expect to be able to flagrantly disobey God's laws and get peace as a result. Well, we won't get peace for nothing - we won't get peace by disobeying the laws of God. We will get peace only when we are willing to pay the price of peace. And to a world drunk with power, corrupted by greed, deluded by false prophets, the price of peace may seem high indeed. For the price of peace is obedience to the higher laws - evil can only be overcome by good and hatred by love; only a good means can attain a good end. The price of peace is to abandon fear and replace it with faith - faith that if we obey God's laws we will receive God's blessings. The price of peace is to abandon hate and allow love to reign supreme in our hearts - love for all of our fellow human beings all over the world. The price of peace is to abandon arrogance and replace it with repentance and humility, remembering that the way of peace is the way of love. The price of peace is to abandon greed and replace it with giving, so that none will be spiritually injured by having more than they need while others in the world still have less than they need. The price of peace is to lay down our arms and stand with clean hands and contrite hearts before the world tribunal. People of the world, the time for decision is short - it is measured in a few years - there are choices that must be made NOW. The choice is ours as to whether or not we will pay the price of peace. If we are not willing to pay it, all that we hold dear will be consumed in the flame of war. If we are willing to pay it, we will move toward a golden age which we cannot now even imagine.
I want to say to the millions of little people who live in this world that there are many worthwhile things little people can do, both individually and collectively. When I dedicated my life to be of as much service as possible to my fellow human beings someone said to me very sarcastically, "What do you think you can do?" and I replied, "I know I am a little person and can only do little things, but there are so many little things that need to be done," and I never had any trouble finding worthwhile little things to do. When I started my pilgrimage I was asking for very big things and someone said to me than, "You might as well ask for the moon," but I answered, "If enough of us little people ask together even very big things will be granted," and it has been so. Some of the steps towards peace that I talked about when I started out have now been taken or at least begun. A people-to-people approach is well under way, some research is being done on peaceful ways of resolving conflicts, war prevention measures are increasing, nuclear testing has almost ceased, and in spite of many temporary set-backs asking for world peace doesn't seem like asking for the moon any more. (In fact, that expression may become obsolete as we get to the moon.) Little people of the world, let's never feel helpless again - let's remember that if enough of us ask together even very big things like world disarmament and world peace will be granted. Let's ask together!
After a wonderful sojourn in the wilderness, I walk again along the streets of a city which was my home for awhile. It is 1:00 P.M. Hundreds of neatly dressed human beings with pale or painted faces are hurrying in rather orderly lines to and from their places of employment. I, in my faded shirt and well-worn slacks, walk among them. The rubber soles of my soft canvas shoes move noiselessly along beside the clatter of trim tight shoes with stilt-like heels. In the poorer section I am tolerated. In the wealthier section some glances seem a bit startled and some are disdainful. On both sides of us as we walk are displayed the things which we can buy if we are willing to stay in the orderly lines day after day, year after year. Some of the things more or less useful, many are utter trash - some have a claim to beauty, many are garishly ugly. Thousands of things are displayed - and yet, my friends, the most valuable things are missing. Freedom is not displayed, nor health, nor happiness, nor peace-of-mind. To obtain these things, my friends, you, too, may need to escape from the orderly lines and risk being looked upon disdainfully.
The Letter: You said you did not feel guided to form an organization, but that we who work for peace belong to a spiritual fellowship. Some of us in this fellowship would like to apply to our lives the principles which you apply to your life. Will you tell us what "Peace Pilgrims" do?
The Answer: Peace Pilgrims pray and work for peace within and without.
Peace Pilgrims accept the way of love as the way of peace, and to depart from the way of love is to depart from the way of a Peace Pilgrim.
Peace Pilgrims obey God's laws, and seek God's guidance for their lives by being receptively silent.
Peace Pilgrims face life squarely, solve the problems it sets before them, and delve beneath it's surface to discover its verities and realities.
Peace Pilgrims seek, not a multiplicity of material things, but a simplification of material well-being, with need level as the ultimate goal.
Peace Pilgrims purify the bodily temple, the thoughts, the desires, the motives.
Peace Pilgrims relinquish as quickly as possible self-will, the feeling of separateness, all attachments, all negative feelings.
The tide of world affairs still drifts toward war, and it will take a real effort on the part of the people of the world to turn it toward peace.
The better world we all want will only come into being if we help to build it. History is moving so swiftly that we can see it in the making - and perhaps help to make it.
Get in tune with universal harmony. Be a sweet melody in the great orchestration instead of a discordant note.
Overcome your feeling of separateness. Be a harmonious, useful, happy cell in the body of humanity instead of a desperately unhappy outlaw cell. I now know myself to be a part of the infinite cosmos, not separate from other souls or from God. The illusory self is dead, and the real self controls the garment of clay and uses it for God's work.
The higher laws will bring us into harmony as soon as we obey them. The good within us makes us capable of obeying them. How soon we obey and find harmony is up to us.
There is a relationship between prayer and action. Receptive prayer results in an inner receiving which motivates to right action.
Spiritual truth should not be sold - lest the seller injure himself spiritually. Spiritual truth need not be bought - when you are ready it will be given.
A hopeful note: Seeing tractors and other farm machinery riding and flatcars instead of tanks and other implements of destruction.
There were two occasions when I felt that I was indeed battling with the elements. One was the wet and cold experience of walking through an blinding snow storm, along a well-traveled highway where each car that passed splashed me with muddy slush. One was the experience of walking through a dust storm, which sometimes blew with such force I could scarcely stand against it, while sometimes the dust was so thick I could not see ahead and could only guide myself by the edge of the road. The wonderful thing was that each time I felt spiritually lifted above the hardship.

GETTYViolence scenes broke out across many European cities during May Day marches
May Day – or 'Labour Day' – is observed all over the world on the first day of May to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers and fight for labourers rights.
In Italy, violent scenes erupted in the northern city of Turin, as demonstrators clashed with police during the traditional Labour Day march.
Riot officers were deployed after more than 200 people gathered in the Via Cesare Battisti in an attempt to divert the authorised march route.
Three people were arrested after a group began pelting law enforcement officials with eggs.
Police say a number of items used in the violence, including umbrellas and sticks, were confiscated during the protest.
Meanwhile, in France, horrfying images of police being attacked with Molotov cocktails have emerged.

In Paris, riot police attempted to control the crowds at the city's traditional labour union march.
Police fired tear gas at rowdy protesters on the sidelines of a May Day workers' march in Paris but hooded youth attacked security forces.
The annual march to celebrate workers' rights this year included calls to block presidential candidate Marine Le Pen from winning the presidency during a runoff election on Sunday.
Video showed riot police surrounding the protesters disrupting the march after isolating most of them from the rest of the crowd near the Place de la Bastille.

My brother in law is 18, soon to be 19 and that makes me feel old. He towers over me and every once in a while when I look at him, I'm reminded of the little (and by little I mean short) boy who was a ring bearer so intent on doing his job at my wedding that he fainted. He's grown into a wonderful man, he's funny and kind, he plays endlessly with our girls and has the patience to teach them things (like the video game on their new Cameras) that I don't. He's also sarcastic and understands my sense of humor, which is why I totally love him.
A few weeks ago he posted something on his Facebook status that showed me how deep his soul really runs. It showed me that while he's 18 in so many ways, the heart of his spirit is much older and one day he'll make a lucky lady (if she ever survives the two sister-in-law interrogation phasing) a wonderful husband. His status also really, really made me think….
"This is absolutely 100% true
Girls Need To Realize: WRITTEN BY A GUY
We guys don't care if you talk to other guys. We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there. We don't care if a guy calls >OR TEXTS< you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. That it can't wait till the morning.
Also, when we tell you you're pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute/stunning, we freaking mean it. Don't tell us we're wrong. We'll stop trying to convince you. The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me. Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take advantage of the mood im in. Let us pay for you! Don't 'feel bad', we enjoy doing it. It's expected. Smile and say 'thank you'. Kiss us when no one's watching. If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed. You don't have to get dressed up for us. If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own. We like you for who you are and not what you are. Honestly, i think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my t shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.
Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don't get angry easily. Stop using magazines/media as your bible. Don't talk about how hot Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us. It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that. Whatever happened to the word 'handsome'/'beautiful'? I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with 'Hey handsome!' instead of 'Hey baby/stud/cutie/sexy' or whatever else you can think of. On the other hand I'm not saying I wouldn't like it either 😉
Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change!!!!! Ditch his sorry butt, disgrace to the male population and find someone who will treat you with utter respect. Someone who will honor your morals. Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest. Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes. Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel. Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes and say 'I love you' … and actually mean it. Give the nice guys a chance.
Guys re-post this if you agree. Girls re-post this if you think it's cute.. Every guy who isn't a jerk will agree with this, so we hope that all the girls that read this will repost this.
Life is too short to complain about everything that comes your way so stop and smell the roses in life because you might never have another time to take it, so take your time because they are all different in every way, so take chances in life, if it doesn't work out then fine, there are always more roses to smell"
He didn't write it, he read it on someone else's status and re-posted it. When I read it, I was amazed. Firstly because he was willing to risk getting grief from some of his friends who are a little less mature for posting something so mushy and secondly because when I sat down and talked with him about it he told me that he might as well have written it, he agreed 100%.
Then I read it to Corey, half way through he patted my hand and when I finished he said, "exactly".
We've all talked about my struggles with self-esteem and my image, it was a real eye opener for me. Corey has said some of those things a dozen times over and it took this status for them to get through my apparently thick skull.
I love that the guy who wrote this addresses the "jerks" that litter the male population. As a female who dated moderately, I encountered WAY more jerks than I did nice guys, and I wish someone would have told me to "ditch his sorry butt" over a few of the guys I chose to spend time with. It would have saved me a lot of heartache, on the other hand I'd have missed out on some really important lessons.
It was a great status, it's a well written piece (even with the typos and spelling mistakes) and it's something every girl, whether she's 18 or 49 needs to hear. There are nice guys out there, you just have to look a little harder, you're worth more than you think and beauty comes so much deeper than the make-up on your face or the number on the scale.

Review by Shimmin
A late National Book Day present. A good read, with plenty of dark humour and tongue-in-cheek grimness. The serious style of the art is a great companion to the story, and they combine into a work that hovers pleasantly between suspension-breaking seriousness and pure silliness, without ever leaning too far into either territory. One downside: I think this collected volume is a little weakened because of the similarity between the stories, which can also seem a bit predictable. I think they probably had more impact in the original magazine, mixed between other adventures of the judges.

Forgiveness has never been an attribute of sixteen-year-old Sydney Morgan's. Loyal and loving to her mother and sister, a crisis forces her to find her absent father, which in turn begins a chain of events leading her to the last place and time she would have ever expected.
The Forgotton Warrior follows Syd as she is transported back to Book of Mormon times by touching a mysterious clear stone. She meets Chief Captain Helaman; nursemaid, Mariah; and the stripling warriors. They believe Syd to be a boy, and worse yet, Helaman's second-in-command, Tarik, thinks Syd is a Lamanite spy and threatens to kill her.
Come follow Sydney as she desperately tries to find her way back home, fights to gain Helaman's respect, and despite herself, falls in love with Tarik.

*Rachelle's Review
Peterson has some great ideas in her debut novel to bring the period of the two-thousand stripling warriors to life. I had a difficult time when the viewpoints switched from Sydney to Tarik because I felt Tarik kept repeating things that had already happened. I found much of the novel to be redundant as Peterson continually reminded the reader again and again of every emotion, event, etc. I would've like to see her give the reader more credit--in that they would remember these key points after the second or third time they were reiterated.
Instead of spending so much time repeating things already introduced I would suggest investing more into building up the characters to be more believable. The flow of the book felt interrupted to me as it jumped between reminding the reader of the important plot points and trying to introduce other secondary characters. Syd's overall concern for her family while she was in Book of Mormon times felt more like an afterthought and did not seem authentic to me.
I would've liked to see Peterson create a stopping place for book one as this feels like I was left hanging in the middle of the sentence. There was a lot of up-movement and then no issues were resolved. Usually in a series of books I like to see some issues resolved in each book but the major conflict continues on throughout the series.
It was fun to "see" Helaman brought to life and I enjoyed reading the fight scenes and trying to picture Syd's karate moves. I'm hopeful that the sequel to The Forgotten Warrior will be able overcome some of the struggles book one experienced.
Here's some info about the author:
Kathi Oram Peterson was born in the small, sleepy town of Rigby, Idaho. In her childhood, her parents owned a store on Main Street. Whenever they couldn't find her, they'd look in the nearby drug store behind the book display. There she would be curled up with a book. Though she grew up, married, and had a family of her own, her passion for a good, heart-thumping, action-packed story has never left her. After raising her family of two girls and a boy, she went back to school and earned her English degree at the University of Utah. Upon graduation, she worked for a curriculum publisher writing and editing concept and biography books for children. Leaving the workforce, she decided to devote her time to writing inspirational novels. Over her writing career she has won the "Heart of the West" and "Golden Pen" writing contests and placed as a finalist in St. Martin's Press' "Malice Domestic Contest." She has also served as President of the Wasatch Mountain Fiction Writers.
She is currently working on another series set in Rome and Bethlehem during Christ's birth.
You can visit Kathi's website and her blog.

I picked up my packet the day before the event (friday) and noticed on the course map that I would be running past the housing area where I used to live in the 1970's. I figured I do a quick drive-by and see how it looked but the base renovated that neighborhood. What used to be a big park area where all the neighborhood kids would play on the playground-there was a street with new housing that led to the shoppette that was there connected to other buildings where I took hula lessons.
Our elementary school was there but no longer were there the jungle gyms or the metal looking fire truck that I remembered my 7 year old friend kissed a boy. How odd that roaming through an old neighborhood brought back so many memories. Anyhow, I digress...
As I drove back to the office, I noticed how neatly the racing bib, shirt and other information was held together by a rubber band. I think I got a kick that it was so OCD organized because the shirt size was the very size I specified and whoever put these packets together made sure that whatever anyone specified on the registration is what we got in our racing packet. There was no scrambling or rummaging through boxes. They basically distributed the packets through your racing bib number.
When I got home that night, I prepped what I was going to wear on Saturday as well as cutting my shirt into a muscle T-shirt because I didn't want to wear out any of my other exercise tops. I set my alarm to 3:30am, so I could leave the house at 4:00am.
By 4:00am, I was on the road considering that it would take me about 45-55 minutes to get to the other side of the island. Mind you, the race was at 7:00am but I wanted to make sure that I got there early and just relax because I am always nervous before any run.
I pulled up to the event parking and noticed that it was the parking lot next to the base theater where I saw Grease for $0.10! As I relaxed, other individuals were parking and getting out of their cars (they were the volunteers). Then, murphy's law for runners kicked in because I had to use the bathroom. Thank goodness, the theater actually opened up their doors for the participants to use the restroom.
When I stepped out and walked towards the field since it was now 6:15am, I sat down in the pavilion to begin stretching and just loosen up. It was then I noticed that majority of everyone that was participating were fit. what.the.heck... I cursed myself because it dawned on me that I was running with the MARINE community. How could I have overlooked that especially when my dad is a retired Marine who STILL RUNS and who is currently training for the Spartan Race and intent on waiting for me at the FINISH LINE? I texted my dad who laughed and encouraged me to have fun and knows that I can finish this race. I texted back thanking him and that he had more faith in me than I did at that moment.
As 7:00am approached, the MC went over the course with us, which was 2 laps around my old neighboorhood. Then, the MC shared about where the water stations were going to be and I heard, "Officer's club". I paused and panicked because I remembered that the Officer's Club was located on top of a hill.
I hate hills...
I had to suck this one up and take it with a grain of salt. I had to tell myself silently that if I got through the Spartan Race, I can dang well run around my old neighborhood and walk quickly up that hill TWICE.
The airhorn went off and everyone ran or walked. Well, I was one of the few that walked for awhile then started running at my own pace. It was hot and hazy. First lap, I grabbed water and ate some sporty beans. Second lap, I was sweating like crazy. I didn't want to look behind me because I was afraid I might be the last person running. However, I knew I wasn't because I bypassed this girl and her mom on the first lap.
When finally got to the finish line, I noticed that my time was 1:25:06. If you're a runner and reading this, it may be a slow time for you. However, I just beat my personal goal because this was the fastest I've ever ran. It was 15-16 minutes per mile! Not bad for a 6 mile run (for me, that is).
As I think of this, I think of how much I have changed from when I first started my fitness journey to now. I think of how many things have changed and through life-change is inevitable. For example, look at the old neighborhood. It was renovated. It was new. And that's how it is with us when we decide to make a change for ourselves for the better. Looking back is a great thing because it reminds you of where you came from and it keeps you grounded. It's interesting on how things will come to mind to use as an object lesson for myself to understand why I am on this journey to be healthier physically, mentally and spiritually.
Nevertheless, I have two weeks to get myself prepared as much as I am able for my upcoming run, which is #4 of #8....the Honolulu Marathon that I will be walking and running. Let's just hope that I am not crawling to the finish line on that day.

Audi breaks new ground once again with the electric biturbo, which makes a secondary compressor give the main turbocharger a boost at lower engine speeds. Almost 25 years ago, Audi decided to focus on international diesel engineering. Audi introduced the first diesel with direct fuel injection, turbocharging and electronic control in the Audi 100 in 1989.
Since that time, the TDI has been successful. When used with diesel engines, turbocharging improves the performance and significantly cuts fuel consumption and emissions – much more than what naturally aspirated engines are capable of. With regards to the displacement, the TDI engines can reach power gains of more than 100% and torque increases of 70% since 1989. Emissions also dropped by 95% since then.
Audi's latest development stage is a biturbo version of the 3.0 TDI, which can deliver 230 kW (313 hp) and a maximum torque of 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) between 1,450 and 2,800 rpm. For each liter displacement, there's a specific power output of 77.5 kW (105.5 hp). But then, the A6's combined fuel consumption is just 6.4 liters of fuel per 100 km (36.75 US mpg), and with CO2 emissions of 169 grams per km (271.98 g/mile).
What all turbocharged engines all share is that energy from the exhaust is driving the turbocharger. This means that beginning with very low revs, the increase in boost pressure and torque gets increasingly greater as the exhaust energy increases. Audi is working on the electric biturbo as a new development stage. This enables the quick building-up of charge pressure and the achievement of high levels of torque even at very low revs. These are accomplished independently of the available exhaust energy.

Fun fact: The X-Men love to eat at Carl's Jr. LOL, here's a roundup of commercials featuring superheroes stuffing their face with fast food.
While these types of promotions are nothing new to Hollywood marketing, nevertheless these strike me as over the top. Especially the Quicksilver commercial. I mean, this is his first appearance. I'd think his introduction would be treated a little more important. First impressions, and all.
Who's ready for lunch?

So I've been playing competitive pokemon for several months now, and have made fairly successful teams for every metagame except for Ubers and Hackmons. I recently started playing around with LC when some of my friends wanted me to make a team to play them. It has become my favorite metagame because of its many different strategies and the fact that most people that play the tier are experienced and know what they are doing. This is my third team I made and it's definitely met my expectations, currently hovering between 1800-1850 on the ladder which is not quite top 100, but I think it could get there with a few minor tweaks and more dedication to laddering it on my part. The premise of my building this team is based upon one of my favorite team-styles of having 5 offensive pivots that check eachother's threats and one fast powerful sweeper to clean up at the end. There are a few obvious weaknesses, but probably many others I haven't noticed as well, so all advice and insights are welcome.
Enough talking, here's the lineup.
Misdreavus (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Levitate
Level: 5
EVs: 240 SAtk / 240 Spd / 28 HP
Timid Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
Misdreavus is the closest thing to a staple in LC, and is arguably one of the most useful pokemon in the tier. It's ability to check and then set up on many threats, including everyone's boy Mienfoo, is in itself a great asset to Misdreavus. She can take on special attacks as well as physical ones with the help of will-o-wisp, and after one nasty plot boost is able to KO or severely dent whatever the opponent throws at it. Shadow Ball and HP Fighting work very well together and are unresisted as far as I know. I chose timid nature so that che can outspeed abra on occasion. Levitate adds to her usefulness because as you will see, this team has a glaring weakness to ground attacks. In a tier where almost every team carries a fighting type, Misdreavus' ghost typing makes her one of the most important pokemon on this team. That fact most opponents carry several checks for Misdreavus and she is still able to do well proves how good of a pokemon she is.
Murkrow (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Prankster
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 188 Spd / 20 SDef / 28 Def
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Sucker Punch
- Substitute
- Roost
Murkrow has great synergy with Croagunk, Misdreavus, and Magnemite, and posses great offensive power as well, so it seemed like a no-brainer to add him to this team. One of the most important facts to note about this guy is his ability to check opposing Misdreavuses. He can sub before the burn and proceed to brave bird the hell out of her or if I'm feeling especially good with my predicting skills attempt to sneak in a sucker punch before she can do anything. Brave Bird is a powerful STAB that leaves dents in everything unresisted and allows this bird to destroy foonguses which can be very annoying to this team. Sucker Punch allows Murkrow to check any fast setup sweepers, or just fast pokemon in general. Sub and roost are what make this guy a great pivot. he can sub on predicted switches or status moves, and then roost off the damage to keep him in the game. A stealth rock weakness is slightly annoying, but overall not that big of a deal. The fact that Murkrow does not preform well against chinchou is a major let down, but I cannot see any reasonable replacement that is able to do what he does and take care of chinchou at the same time.
Ponyta (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Flame Body
Level: 5
EVs: 156 Atk / 76 SDef / 4 HP / 196 Spd / 76 Def
Jolly Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Wild Charge
- Flare Blitz
- Morning Sun
This slot originally belonged to a curse Munchlax, but I found his physical bulk and offensive prowess to be sadly underwhelming, so I made the switch to Ponyta. Ponyta takes fire hits just as well if not better than Munchlax, and is able to burn the opponent back with Will-O-Wisp or Flame Body. His ability to soak up burns targeted at Croagunk is also very helpful as well as drawing water attacks for the punching frog to absorb. Flare Blitz and Wild Charge both hit very hard, making the opponent wary to switch anything into it. However Ponyta's weakness to entry hazards and the fact that its two attacking moves cause major recoil for the horse means that he does not stay in the game as long as I'd like sometimes, not to mention that his typing also gives my team more weaknesses to rock and ground. Morning Sun remedies the health problem somewhat but comes up short more often than not.
Croagunk (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Dry Skin
Level: 5
EVs: 28 Atk / 116 SDef / 116 Def / 36 Spd / 212 HP
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Sucker Punch
- Earthquake
Croagunk is one studly pokemon. Among its fighting type brethren Croagunk stands out as bulky badass that can check its own brothers, and proceed to set up on them. If allowed to nab a few boosts croagunk can deal out major damage to the opposing team, while unboosted the toad can still dent many pokemon and take their hits in return. Drain Punch provides much needed healing while doubling as a powerful STAB that hits many pokemon very hard. Sucker Punch makes up for Croagunk's lack of speed and lets him take down many pokemon that could severely hurt him such as Abra or Rick Ghastly. Earthquake takes the last spot instead of payback, to make Croagunk an effective chinchou counter, but leaves him hopelessly walled by defensive Misdreavus. If his counters are taken out early in the game, Croagunk can pull off many a sweep to leave the opponent helpless and considering of putting more Croagunk checks on his team.
Magnemite @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Magnet Pull
Level: 5
EVs: 240 SAtk / 240 Spd / 28 SDef
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Magnemite's ability to scout out opposing switch ins is invaluable to this team, and lets my team get the upper hand early on. Magnemite is more often than not my lead if I am not sure about who the opponent will throw at me first, and does an excellent job of it. Its typing also grants me many helpful resistances, but his low bulk does disappoint on occasion. Magnet Pull lets me quickly dispatch of Ferroseeds
which is a
nice bonus. T-Bolt is a powerful STAB option if I don't want to switch out, and Flash Cannon takes care of Snovers and occasional rock type switch-ins
The momentum that Magnemite provides to this team is invaluable.
Abra (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Magic Guard
Level: 5
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
Remember when I mentioned that frail but powerful and fast end game cleaner? Abra is able to get things done after the other five have done their job of wearing down the opposing team, and is often not even needed to finish the game. Magic Guard lets Abra enter the battle without enrty hazards taking away its sash and I will occasionally switch her into a predicted leech seed or toxic/burn but that job generally falls to Croagunk and Ponyta. I don't see why more people don't put sashes on their abras, it lets her take a sucker punch and then retaliate back without worry and lets her beat other Abras one on one. Calm Mind aids the sweep as Abra causes many switches, allowing for time to grab the boost and make sure that nothing can take a Psychic to the dome. I put timid on Abra to ensure it outspeeds Misdreavus.
I'll update this list as I continue to battle with this team.
Entry Hazards:
Because of the fact that this team does a good share of switching and lacks a spinner, entry hazards can be an annoyance that rack up unnecessary damage against my team. However I can't see any way to fit a spinner in without losing a large amount of this team's synergy so i decided to roll without it.
Not very hard for me to take down, and I can generally set up with Misdreavus or Croagunk on this guy, but the entry hazards he lays are as stated above a great annoyance to me.
I don't have much that's super effective against him and he can severely cripple my team before I manage to get rid of him.
His ability to trap and then counter most of my team is a great danger, and I always have to be careful when the opponent has him on his team.
While not hard for me to get rid of, if switched in at the right time will make me have to sacrifice something to spore, rendering them incapable to battle.
Can deal with a good chunk of my team in the sand if Misdreavus is out of play.
If the opponent is running the same set as I am, then I am hard pressed to find something that can get rid of Murkrow before it takes out my whole team.
A threat to almost every team in LC. Even with two sucker punchers, a pokemon that outspeeds it, hits physically, and can take burns, and Abra who speed ties it and can hit it super effectively, I still find myself having trouble with Misdreavus.
I'd like to mention that most of these EV spreads are based off ones from smogon, so if you have a better idea for a spread, I'll gladly consider using it. That's pretty much it! Please take the time to rate or at least give advice. Thank you!

Waiting for....TSETC 2011!
This past Saturday I returned to New Milford High School to present at TSETC.
I haven't stepped foot in the high school in 13 years. On Saturday, it looked the same as it always did, but there was definitely a change in the undercurrent of the school. There was a new energy and it was not because of new technology (SmartBoards, ipads, Kindles, and such); it was the educators and administrators who gave up time with their families after a long week of school to take part in a conference and for many, it was their first taste of what a conference like TSETC can do to alter one's teaching craft.
It was fun to see all of my Twitter friends face to face, but what was even more overwhelming is that I witnessed teachers who taught me so many years ago, still working to become better teachers- the true definition of a life-long learner. It was surreal to sit next to my journalism teacher from my Junior year, Mrs. DePoto, in an iPad session.
In my session, I shared with Mr. Tusa, a veteran and beloved educator at NMHS, some tools to integrate technology into his classroom using Free Web 2.0 tools.
After all, these were the teachers who taught me so many years ago, teachers who challenged me and teachers who I have great respect for, teachers who made me want to teach. Ironically, Mr. Tusa came up to me afterward and thanked me for all of the resources.
I don't deserve the thanks, he does. After all his years of teaching he still strives to learn and to improve his craft.
In the light of recent education media, TSETC is a testament that we don't need super heroes to improve education. We need teachers, students and parents to work together. I have two daughters, and I take full responsibility for their learning, hoping along the way that they have exceptional teachers, like the ones I met at TSETC this past weekend.
I know that next year TSETC will be even bigger and better. I also think it would be great to invite parents to attend and to perhaps have students and teachers co-present a few sessions.
This is part of the Tri-State Education Technology Conference (TSETC) Blogger Café Contest sponsored by edSocialMedia. TSETC is brought to you by Schoology.
