GUEST POST written by our friend Darin Dell of the Animal Dermatology Clinic in Indianapolis – thanks, doc!
Collie Nose
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a rare condition that typically affects a dog's nose. In most cases, the first sign of DLE is a loss of the normal nasal pigment. The nose may become grey or white in color. Over time, the nose can become red and/or scaly. In severe cases the nose may even crack or ulcerate.
DLE is more common in certain breeds; specifically, Collies, Shetland sheep dogs, German shepherd dogs, Siberian Huskies, and Brittany spaniels. This explains the common layman's term "Collie nose".
The condition does appear to be aggravated, but not caused, by sun exposure. Advanced cases can have lesions at sites other than the nose, including around the eyes and on the ears. A skin biopsy is required to definitively diagnose DLE and rule out other, more aggressive, conditions.
Fortunately, DLE is generally a benign condition. DLE progresses slowly and is not related to any internal disease. Treatment for DLE varies based on the severity of the lesions. Mild cases may be treated topically with anti-inflammatory ointments whereas severe cases may need oral immuno-modulatory therapy.
The prognosis for DLE in dogs is generally good. Treatment is required life-long but the condition does not affect the life-span of the dog. Early diagnosis and treatment, before cracking and ulcerations develop, typically yield a better long term outcome.
Thank you for the information! I am particularly interested in the treatment options in severe cases. What would the immuno-modulatory therapy be?
Oral immuno-modulatory therapy might include steroids (like prednisone), cyclosporine, azathioprine, chlorambucil, or two of these drugs used together. The goal is to use as little oral therapy as possible to maintain patient comfort. Because these medications affect the immune system, regular monitoring via physical examinations and blood tests are necessary.
Thank you for your response. Yes, those are the ones I figure might be (some of them, anyway).
So those are the IgM antibodies that are involved in DLE?
I thank you also for the information! I do believe this is what my dog has and plan to go for a biopsy this week. 6 weeks of Clavamox has not touched it & it now seems worse. I hope it's not too late to manage his care for this. My sweet baby dog!
Our collie came down with Collie nose when we were in the process of moving from Minnesota to Arkansas. Our vet thought maybe it was the sun. We tried all kinds of creams but eventually put him on prednisone. It would calm the collie nose down but eventually its use went to Bailey getting "hot spots" that we had a tough time curing and eventually diabetes which is what ended his life after 3 years of fighting Type I DM. We tried so very hard to solve all of his problems but one problem just seemed to lead to another. It would be really great if there was a way to test dogs to see if they have an inclination to auto immune diseases. He was such a patient soul and the day we lost him, he perked up from a really bad surgery, trying to cure a wound that never healed, sat up and looked at us. He barked once, then was gone. Such a sweet boy. It really needs to be worked on to find a cure.

Freestyle: Kevin Peraza wins in Mexico. Second Red Bull Dirt Conquers brings Guadalajara on its feet.
Dennis Enarson has been riding well in practice and is looking forward to the Red Bull Dirt Conquers event. "I love it man. If I only had one park to ride, this would be it. It's so much fun. The
The story of the day was the weather. Last year we had snow at the opening jam of the Outdoor season. This year people showed up in shorts and a T-shirt and multiple BBQ-s were kicked off in the field next to the Sugar Hills Trails which had been fixed up the day before the Mini FATJAM and rode better than ever before. After a bit of an online promotion campaign more people showed up than ever before to hang out at De Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel for an afternoon of Bikes, Beers, and Bitches. It almost felt like the summer edition with music blasting out of the speaker, and people riding all day until they were so dirty they needed a long bath to get the Ale Blie dirt off their skin. Once again the AES showed up with their mobile medical center to make sure everyone was okay. A few cuts and bruises, a concussion and a broken tooth were some of the injuries. Nothing the professional medics couldn't handle.
The 040BMX trick team showed up and killed "The Killer". I saw a 360 double whip on the big jump by Rene van IJzendoorn but missed Joel's flip even though it was his second time riding dirt.

So I have this going-out uniform of sorts. Disappointingly, it involves a t-shirt. I keep meaning to find some fabulous top - something silky, pretty, patterned, whatever....but I seem to have this mental block where silky shirts are involved and instead, a closet full of cotton and wool.
Which is why I find myself, most Friday nights, clad only in underwear and squinting into my closet, Mike (wisely) tip-toeing around me. "Ready, Babe?" he'll eventually ask. "Yes, Honey!" I'll chirp. "Let me just plop on a necklace to match these panties and I'll be right down!" #NO
I mean seriously. A half-naked wife should be the first sign that THINGS ARE NOT READY.
So, yeah. Eventually I'll just grab a t-shirt, add my usual necklace (what did I do before this necklace??) and plop my ancient jacket on top. Typically, I throw on jeans because by this time I'm totally annoyed and - wow - that makes no sense at all total sense and then I stomp down the stairs STOMP STOMP STOMP to my waiting husband (who knows this drill by heart) and he exclaims, "Babe!! You look beautiful!!!!!"
Bless his heart.
But sometimes, if my annoyance level hasn't reached reach-for-denim proportions, I will grab one of my short little bandage minis. So easy to style! So sexy! So cheap! (Target, baby.)
jacket - similar on sale at Boden
skirt - similar on sale at Piperlime
t-shirt - similar
boots - similar on sale at ASOS
We don't always bring the kids to date night, but the Art Museum was doing their Art-After-5 party, and last month's involved k-pop music and a little show and then a dance floor and we thought, why not? So I put on some flat boots (to make this skirt ever so practical) and dressed the kids in head-to-toe FabKids and off we went.
And then we arrived and I realized where we had to sit and all at once I had flashbacks of that one time my bum was inadvertently part of the Franklin Institute's spy exhibit.
This damn skirt. You'd think I'd learn. Cause getting into THIS POSITION ON COLD MARBLE STEPS took some serious skirt-wielding skillz.
So this is where I swear off bandage minis while on kid-duty but why bother because I'll probably just wait another week and then do it again. So if you ever visit Philadelphia, be sure to see the Liberty Bell, the Battleship New Jersey, and S's bum. And now that I've compared my @ss to historic treasures, we'll move on.
Pax, it turns out, loves k-pop.
So does his mama.
Raines was totally annoyed by the both of us. Dancing? So embarrassing!!
But since it's Friday, here are a few fun links:
I was thrilled to do another podcast with Meagan from The Happiest Home. This time, Meagan and I chat about dressing for your high school reunion. Gulp.
The Modern Mrs. Darcy has a genius technique for faking a clean house.
Would you wear a fanny pack? I.....might.
Loved this article (and picture!!) of Plus Size Princess. Awesome.
Since I've been relying so heavily on soft jackets to dress up my t-shirt, I just picked up this one in white. Insanely comfortable and flattering. And check out the swing back - it's my fav part.
Someone please go buy this Soft Joie dress that is currently 30% off. I'm smitten, but they only have M and L left.
BCBG is offering 50% off of everything. I'm seriously considering this chic twist on an everyday t-shirt dress.
For those of you who miss the old Lucky Magazine, Andrea Linett has started doing personal outfit posts on her blog. Finally!
Happy weekend!
Graphic tees are huge this season. Yesssss. Not only do they add edge to boring outfits, but some of them, when looked at from a mom's perspective, are downright hysterical. Here are some of my favs...
1. Central Park Tee, $68
This one made me laugh out loud. It's like a bad-@ss mommy tee for the playground set. If only I could find one with 'Cheeseman Park' on it. Right, Denver?? (Or Jess....McCarty's Cove? Yes, please?)
2. Sorry I'm Late Tee, $29
If I had a dollar everytime I had to apologize for being late....
3. I'm With Dreamy Tee, $64
Wouldn't this be cute on a mom with a chunky little bub? OMG gush.
4. Snakes Tee, $75
For the mama trying to wean.
5. These Are the Days Tee, $45 (and 25% off with code SHOPNOW)
Depending on the day, this tee could be tender sentiment or a sarcastic one.
6. Who Said Nights Are For Sleeping?, $32
CAN I GET AN AMEN said newborn Raines.
7. We Love Boys Tee, $88
Oh yes we do, says this Mama of two of them.
8. Tomboy Chic, $24
Gang, this tee is from my favorite kid's clothing company, Geo Fox. Due to popular demand, they now stock this tee in adult sizes. Which means YES: You and your daughter can get matching tees (and I totally would).
9. BAM Tee, $88
I've seen a bunch of superhero tees for adults, but I prefer something a little less literal.
10. Silk Comic Tee, $178
This is a silk tee, not an everyday cotton one, but Raines and I both died over it. It's totally up my alley for date night with a tight little mini skirt and sexy heels.
11. Coffee, Books and Rain, $28
Nuff said, I think. (BTW - this website has 199 pages of tees and some are seriously funny.)
12. Beauty Tee, $32
My sister bought me this tee for Christmas. It's from Sevenly, which donates $7 from each sale to a different charity each week. Seeing beauty in the everyday and helping others? Yeah. That's totally a mom thing.
Two Ideas for wearing graphic tees:
A reader emailed sometime last year, wondering if I ever wore plain black pants or khakis. My initial thought was, "why on earth would I do that?" and then I set the email aside and the whole thing got lost in the shuffle so to speak. But as I was cleaning out my closet recently, lo and behold was a pair of plain 'ol khaki pants. They aren't skinny, they aren't patterned, they don't have moto details....they're just.....khaki pants. "Chinos" if we want to sound like old people.
As I recall, I bought the pants when I went back to work after Raines was born. I bought them because I couldn't come up with an easier, cheaper option for someone still in-between sizes in a work environment whose "business casual" decree outlawed denim.
But you know what? I liked them OK then, and I like them OK now. The key (for me, at least) is to pair them with something professional, polished....and a little bit quirky. A bow blouse and interesting (yet closed-toe) shoes nails it.
Here are a few ideas for playing around with this combo:
Work the Monochrome
Khaki pants and bow blouses are perfect alone, but I really like adding in a sweater in the same tone as the pants. Not only does it make you look taller and slimmer, but it pulls together the look and really makes the bow pop. So French-girl chic.
ps. I'm wearing Everlane's seed stitch sweater, which is a perfect hybrid of sweater/sweatshirt. Thin, drapey, and affordable. I've been wearing this unassuming little piece to death.
bow blouse: c/o Bradamant Bodysuit The Mogul, $120
sweater: c/o Everlane Seed Stitch Raglan in birch, $60
belt: Coach (old)...almost exact replica at Gap, $35
khakis: Gap (old)....Iove their new tux stripe khakis, $55....or the skinny cropped ones.
pumps: Aerosoles (old)...love this Cole Haan version now 60% off at Nordstrom
lipstick: Tarte Power Pigment in fearless, $24
Add a Jacket
At my Engineering firm, denim jackets were accepted (meaning I wore them and no one said anything?), but if your office is more conservative, swap the denim jacket for a blazer. Buttoning a few buttons draws attention to the fabulous bow.
bow blouse: c/o Bradamant Bodysuit The Mogul, $120
jacket: Joe's Jeans (old)....currently loving Gap's
belt: Coach (old)...almost exact replica at Gap, $35
khakis: Gap (old)....Iove their new tux stripe khakis, $55....or the skinny cropped ones.
heels: Shoemint (now sold out)....or try the similar Laney pump by Joe's ($135)
lipstick: Tarte Power Pigment in fearless, $24
Swap Out The Bow For a Man's Tie
This is such a masculine look....but the silky blouse and pointy-toe heels make it sexy, rather than mannish. ("Sexy" in a totally office-appropriate way, of course.)
bow blouse: c/o Bradamant Bodysuit The Mogul, $120
tie: borrowed from Mike (it's this one from J.Crew)
belt: JCrew (old)...but I'm dying over this reversible cork belt
khakis: Gap (old)....Iove their new tux stripe khakis, $55....or the skinny cropped ones.
heels: Pixie Market Erin Wrap Heels, $134
lipstick: Poppy King for J.Crew
When In Doubt, Add A Striped Tee
The most casual of the outfits, but still meets dress code! If men can wear those horrible company logo polo shirts (gack), then I can wear my stripes. With a darker lips and a cool shoe, the vibe here is decidedly gamine.
bow blouse: c/o Bradamant Bodysuit The Mogul, $120
tee: St. James....similar at Boden
belt: Coach (old)...almost exact replica at Gap, $35
khakis: Gap (old)....Iove their new tux stripe khakis, $55....or the skinny cropped ones.
heels: Shoemint (now sold out)....or try the similar Laney pump by Joe's ($135)
lipstick: Poppy King for J.Crew
Ok, now for the best part: My bow blouse is actually a Bradamant bodysuit called The Mogul. And the amazing crew over at Bradamant is currently offering ANMJ readers an exclusive: a whopping 40% off of their entire purchase with code ANMJ! But it lasts only as long as April Fool's....the code expires on the 2nd.
My favorites (in addition to the bow blouse) are The Adventurer ($100) with it's sleek leather detail, the silky one-shouldered Provocateur ($100), and The Hostess ($60) which you can see me wearing here.
And then there's the Visionary.
Rather sexy, no?
Happy Shopping!
Well shoot. I'm not currently nursing (and "post-partum" is stretching it)...but I'd wear any of these in a heartbeat.
Look 1:
Flower Hair Clip, ASOS, $15 (I'm picturing this tucked nonchalantly into a messy bun)
Free People Story Teller Tee, $68 (it's waffle knit - so cozy!)
Nixon Time-Teller Watch, $74 (I'm addicted to these bright, oversized watches)
Striped Backpack, BCBG at Nordstrom, $88
AG Stevie Cuffed Jeans, $188 at Anthro
TOMS in Orange Palm Trees, $54 (the only thing better than palm trees would be...nothing. Nothing is better than palm trees.)
Look 2:
Lanston Asymmetic Top, $95 at Shopbop (pooch-hiding, nursing-friendly drapiness at its best right here)
Autumn Cashmere Cardigan (almost sold out...try Target or Everlane)
Chewbeads Red Bracelet, $17 (A teething-friendly bracelet that I would actually wear...)
Marc Jacobs Medium Tate Tote, $198 (I swore by these when my little guys were young...and I'm still using them. These nylon, washable bags rock my diaper-baggin' world.)
Gap Boyfriend Jeans (Soooo...I tried them recently and wasn't impressed. Have been hearing much better things about Old Navy's version. Go figure.
Tieks Unmellow Yellow, $195 (aka my favorite flats ever)
Look 3:
Blackbird Colorblock Tee, $68 at Anthro
Slouchy Beanie, $12 at ASOS
Lily Jade Diaper Bag, $260 for another few days (then will shoot up to $335)
AG Stevie Cuffed Jeans, $188 at Anthro
Steve Madden Trooper Lace-Up Boot, $100 at Urban (I wear mine almost every day. Grace, I have you to thank. I know I owe you an article about these...how 'bout I just wear them in virtually every pic instead?)
Happy Monday! (already?!?!)
Remember a couple of weeks ago, when we chatted about Refinery 29's claim that one could successfully wear sweatpants on date night? Well. Meet P. She's an attorney turned stay-at-home-mom to a two and a half year old son, and she just rocked sweatpants on a recent date night. P wrote:
"I wanted to share a photo of my date night outfit with my new (beloved) Splendid sweatpants. I have been wearing them in both the black & the grey a TON, with t shirts and flats and even sockless sneakers (especially to/from the gym), but I think they also work with heels for a night out. Bonus: I felt like I was wearing pajamas! (I basically was.)"
Soft blazer: Agnes b., almost 10 y.o. and still my favorite clothing item ever. (S's Note: found a fab option in comfy ponte)
Pants: Splendid
Shoes: Jimmy Choo, also almost 10 y.o. (S's Note: Oooo....or maybe these? They're no Choo, but under $100)
Tee: Madewell
Necklace: Stella & Dot Tessa Necklace
Watch: Casio
I mean seriously wow. P, I love everything you've got goin' on here (and talk about the power of a well-placed necklace. Sheesh. You managed to make both sweatpants and a tee date-night worthy.) LOVE it. On a side note, I'm kinda obsessed with your Casio watch to wear with, uh, everything this summer.
Thank you SO much for the pics and inspiration!
I've been wearing a lot of boring outfits lately. I think it's the weather. One of my friends recently remarked that this winter has been "like a bad ex-boyfriend who won't stop calling after you break up. He drops by with flowers.....and pretends he's changed."
EXACTLY. (Well said, N.)
So yeah - boring outfits abound. Like turtlenecks-and-sweaters-like-its-1988 boring. I think I was into a solid Day 3 of this awful (yet practical!! so practical in this weather OMG what is happening to me) mom-i-form when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
So I added a long-sleeve printed tee and rolled back the cuffs.
I think I over-sold this styling tip. "Solved" might be a slight exaggeration. "Helped make an outfit incrementally less boring when you are too tired to do anything else" is closer to the truth.
Luckily, we have Pax to entertain us.
sweatshirt: old Vince...love this eyelet one
tees: J.Crew turtleneck (similar)....splendid tee (keep reading for striped tee recommendations)
denim: Rag and Bone
boots: Clarks Desert Boots in gray suede
Pax: all FabKids
Raines: FabKids striped tee and soft pants...crewcuts v-neck
On the off chance that you are in awe of my styling super-powers #wishfulthinking, I am going to continue on in this vein:
Awwww....look at how hard I'm trying. I'm even wearing a necklace! #blessmyheart
sweatshirt: old J.Crew...this one is super-cute with a striped tee peeking out
tee: Target, now on clearance
denim: Levi 535s
boots: old Nine West...these are the best, these are (slightly) cheaper
necklace: old necklace...this one would be fun
bag: Moopshop
But in all seriousness, I think a bit of pattern at the sleeve does help, Mamas. It helps to make a sweatshirt and jeans look a little more intentional. Not ground-breaking, but one for those days, Mamas. THOSE DAYS.
The trick is to find a long-sleeve layering tee that still looks cute when you take the sweatshirt off. Here are a few that fit the bill...
(clearly I have a stripes problem...to make up for it, here's a long-sleeve polka-dot tee that I overlooked in my never-ending quest for more stripes.)
1. Scoop-Back Ballet Tee, $22 at Nordstrom
Love the graceful neckline of this tee. I'll bet you can nurse in it!
2. Michael Stars Long-Sleeve Tee, $62 at Piperlime
Perfectly slouchy, love the graphic take on stripes.
3. Free People Leopard Printed Top, $58
This tee has sold out everywhere else and for good reason: it's sofreakingcool.
4. Gap V-Neck Striped Tee, on sale for $14
The v-neck saves this tee. I'd order a size up for a slouchier fit (and a lower neckline).
5. Vintage Havana Lace-Back Tee, $58 at Bloomingdales
The front is perfectly drapy, the back has this sexy peek-a-boo lace panel. Yet the panel is small enough to not have to worry about special bras.
6. Long Sleeve Breton Tee, $38 at Boden
This is the closest thing I've found to those amazing St. James tees, but at less than half the price. It comes in the standard white/navy as well....but I keep thinking about this yellow for Spring. Either way, you can't go wrong!
7. Gap Mixed-Print Tee, $26
It's like an Edith Miller for J.Crew knockoff.
8. Striped Peplum Tee, $58 at Anthro
For post-partum Mamas and layering under swingy, oversized sweaters.
9. Hive and Honey Lace Peek-a-Boo Top, $59 at Piperlime
Love the clean black-and-white stripes, and the bit of lace at the bottom.
Spring? We need you.
We had a seriously amazing weekend. I had booked us for a family workshop at The Clay Studio after spotting their bumper sticker on the back of a car. When I eventually looked them up, I couldn't believe the find. The Clay Studio started as affordable studio space for students just out of art school...but has since expanded into an amazing community resource.
The Clay Studio has outreach programs with some of Philly's public schools, and every Saturday morning they hold a family workshop. The space is stunningly gorgeous.
Our class? Making mugs. But it's the real deal - each kid gets to work on a pottery wheel.
My guys were a little tentative at first....
...but quickly got into it. There were no rules, per se, no expectations of what they were supposed to be making, just quiet encouragement and support from the staff.
They loved it. Like, really, seriously, LOVED it. Raines, in fact, spent almost the entire two hours on the wheel. Throwing, building, crashing-and-burning, rebuilding again. Then, when he was satisfied, he turned off the wheel, and added his own finishing touches.
Once your, uh, "mugs" are off the wheel, it's time to paint, and then clean up. After the workshop, the staff fires your pieces, and they can be picked up (or shipped!) two weeks later.
"Mom, do you mind if I put more paint on your bowl? I'm jus thinkin....it's not really that pretty, Mom. See, you missed a spot here...and right here and here and here... "
Uh. Ok, R.
And even three-year-old Pax was totally engaged.
It's so hard, sometimes, to get kids in that place where they are totally engaged and inspired, yet quiet and focused. The Clay Studio nails it. It's a perfect combination of exploration (what happens when I do this?) with a sense of purpose. The tools and techniques are real. This isn't a kiddie art class, it's a class for little artists. (And one that adults can participate in without feeling their sanity slooowly drain away, unlike some other kid classes I've attended *cough*Gymboree*cough*.)
The Clay Studio is located in Old City...which means that going out for brunch after is a no-brainer. May I suggest High Street On Market? It's just a short walk away.
The kids can have homemade bagels and cream cheese for under $3, and, well...for the parents? The best bloody marys in the city (oh yes I did just throw that down) and serious yum for even the biggest food snobs [raises hand]:
Nuff said, I think.
We will BE. BACK.
wearing (because this is theoretically still a fashion blog):
jacket: old Rag and Bone (from Ebay!)....love this sweater-moto...or WOW - this bright one in tweed and ponte
cardigan: old Banana Republic...but if I were to layer these again, a cardigan with this shape (long in front, shorter in back) would be better
tee: Gap
jeans: old Rag and Bone...similar at H&M
sneaks: Nike....similar
accessories: sunnies...bag c/o Lily Jade....belt c/o Lucky Brand - similar
In Part 1 of this series, we talked about the key wardrobe pieces for leg lengthening, and did a little fashion math involving sneakers. Today I want to focus on the leg-lengthening miracle flat: the nude ballet.
The Key Pieces
(For full explanation, description, and links to all of the products below, see Part 1.)
Try This:
Any shoe that lets the eye travel down the foot unencumbered will give the appearance of length. Ballet flats are perfect. Nude ballet flats? Even better.
necklace: Macramania necklace (first worn here - remember?)
tee: Lands' End
jeans: MiH Nouvelle High Rise Straight Leg Denim (also loving this wash from Citizen's)
flats: Ballerina Pink Tieks
Try This:
To up the leg-lengthening ante a notch, try some high-waist flares and/or a peplum top. Not all peplums are created equal, but ones that flare a bit higher than your waist will make your legs look miles long.
For flats, the pants I'm wearing below should be hemmed a tiiiiny bit more. You want the hem *just* off the floor in the back.
top: Anthro (old)....here's a fabulous daytime peplum (on sale for $20)....or this cute printed one (on sale for $40)
jeans: Mother Denim (old)...try MiH's Marrakesh Flare Denim it's drool-worthy)
flats: Ballerina Pink Tieks
Try This:
Lots of leg and nude ballet flats? It's the like the exact opposite of bad capris.
top: as mentioned above, try this daytime peplum (on sale for $20)....or this cute printed one (on sale for $40)
shorts: My mom's from college! But I'm seriously considering these longer ones from Madewell...
flats: Ballerina Pink Tieks
Same as above, except for the faux-leather shorts. I like their new coated-denim version.
Try This:
Trapeze dresses completely obscure the waist which, in this case, is a good thing. I mean....my legs could start at my neck, you wouldn't know!
One trick to making sure your trapeze dress flatters rather than overwhelms (which can happen easily - especially if you are petite)....is to show some skin. Keep the hemline short, show off your shoulders or flaunt 'the girls'.
necklace: Macramania necklace (first worn here - remember?)
dress: Clu (old)...similar at Piperlime, Victoria's Secret, or a petite version at ASOS
bag: free Sephora makeup clutch...but I want to upgrade to this one (Etsy)
flats: Ballerina Pink Tieks
One Final Note:
Find ballet flats that flatter your skin tone. Because I'm so pink-skinned, I had more luck with Tiek's Ballerina Pink flat, rather than the traditional nude. Olive skinned? Try camel. Keep looking until you find the perfect color. Try them on with lots of bare leg - you'll know the perfect shade when you see it.
(The final article - Part 3 - is coming later this week.)
If I had to survive with only one shirt, I'd probably pick one of my thin, drapy v-necks. The low neckline flatters the bust, the drape hides a pooch and they look cool dressed up or down. Besides, I became addicted to the v-neck while nursing FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS GOOD LORD and I just can't quit 'em.
But. In winter, they are freezing. Here's how I'm warming them up.
With Arm Warmers and a Faux-Fur Cowl
With heels and a sparkly belt if you are feeling especially glamorous, but this outfit works equally well with everyday boots. A faux-fur cowl is my go-to around the house (being bald is very, VERY cold) and the arm-warmers actually make a difference! (They're no turtleneck sweater, but they do alright.)
cowl: old Urban Outfitter...love this one, and it's washable
tee: old Soft Joie (easily my most favorite tee ever) - here's a current one
arm warmers: old, Etsy - but LOVE these or maybe these
jeans: old AG - call me crazy but are these JCPenny jeans similar?
heels: old Aerosoles - but this pointy-toe pump from Nine West is even cuter.
lipstick: Tarte Matte Liptint in Lively
Under a Flannel, With a Pile of Delicate Necklaces
There's something about the combo of a low neckline, soft flannel, and a tangle of delicate necklaces. A pretty bra, always.
And my Uggs? There's probably a better choice, but I'm always in Uggs these days. Especially with a flannel-shirt-as-cardigan.
necklaces: an old one of mom's, Stella & Dot Piper necklace, Gold Twig necklace - a present from Grace!!
tee: Gap (size M)
flannel: old J.Crew...but I love this one on sale at Bloomies
jeans: Ugh, I'm getting sick of trying (in vain) to find another pair of patched denim. Instead, may I present my fav Rag and Bone at 30% off?
boots: Classic Mini Uggs
Color-Blocking With A Long-Sleeve Tee
This is an old trick, circa 1997. Even the shoes! And the over-sized denim!!
The only difference between this and my college uniform is the hat and bright lipstick. And now we call wearing two t-shirts "color-blocking" like it's some fancy thing. #itsathing
hat: ASOS - one with ears are all sold out, but this huge pom one is adorable
tee: Everlane, woman's vee, size M
long-sleeve tee: old....this one is also great for layering (am currently looking for a long-sleeve, striped v-neck tee - anyone know?)
jeans: J Brand Aiden boyfriend jeans (size 28 on sale here....other sizes full price here)
sneaks: Converse
Any other ideas?
Mike and I had a day-date last weekend, in honor of my birthday. We started with a long brunch at Kennet's, where I had, quite possibly, the best mimosas and pancakes ever (we're talking fluffy cornmeal pancakes with local, house-cured bacon cooked right in, sitting in a puddle of real maple syrup with a fried egg on top). I mean seriously. The restaurant was also dead right around 11AM (in a romantic way, not a creepy way) on a Saturday, which means that next time we'll bring the kids. But they have a wood-fired pizza oven, and try to source ingredients locally, so if you haven't been....GO. You won't be disappointed.
It was a magical day. Day dates are our favorites because...well, because we're not tired. Instead, we spend the day wandering around, holding hands, perusing boutiques, sitting in coffee shops and having loooong brunches where we walk out tipsy. And than we wander around looking for Philly's best coffee.
It's basically our life, before kids.
We also found THE most amazing bookstore: Joseph Fox. My favorite bookstores have a cozy feel (check), knowledgeable staff (check) and - here's the most important part - a really well-edited selection. I want someone to show me the books I didn't even know to search for on Amazon. You know?
Their kid's selection was small but inspiring. We're talking arty books for kids that I've never seen anywhere else, new twists on old classics, and ingenius picture books that get kids thinking about life's biggest questions.
And I felt oh-so-glamourous in my high-waisted skinnies. My belt is too loose, and these jeans do look better with pumps, but I loved it all anyway. I'm most comfortable in an outfit that's a little 'off'. Perfect outfits always make me feel like I'm wearing someone else's clothes.
BTW - Mike spotted my necklace at a local boutique, Sugarcube. It's macarame, so it's durable and comfortable and I've been wearing it with everything.
necklace: local, Sugarcube boutique...but love this one or this one on Etsy
tshirt: sold out J.Crew tee...similar from JCrew or oooo...Pardon My French for only $25.
denim: MiH Nouvelle High Rise Straight Leg Jean...have also heard good things about Madewell's
bag: Moop Paperback
belt: sold out JCrew, but I flipping LOVE this one
I'm still messing around with how to style these jeans (you'll be seeing soooo much more of them), but there was so much interest, I thought I'd post a preview. And I'm sharing a few of the gorgeous books found at Joseph Fox here.

Football Manager 2012 Information
Tom starts off at Leeds can be found in their first team squad. Tom is, at the start of the game, probably 4th choice at centre back behind Andy O'Brien, Patrick Kisnorbo and Darren O'Dea but for me has managed to be understudy to new signings Kirk Broadfoot and Even Hovland due to his performances and potential ability (which is 4 stars for a team like Leeds). He played in 40 games during my promotion season despite only being 20 at the start of the season despite having those 5 centre backs on my books during the season and will do a job for any Leeds managers out there.

you will need to have both remotes go to main receiver push the system system button make sure that the remotes have diffident address if they do then follow the above instructions
I've been a tech for Dish Network for 12 years & Directv for 3 years. I also was a Paratrooper (509th)...
K, To do volume & power point ur remote at the 2nd tv. Press & hold the tv button at the very very top till all 4 lights lite up. Then press the big red power button once. Now press the channel up button slowly till ur tv turns off. Once it does press the pound once. Then press the big red power button 3 to 5 times or until ur tv comes back on. Let me know if u need more help.
looking for results I bring the truth and the facts
Is the problem that your dish remote does not control your new tv's volume and power? Or is the issue also that you do not have a picture on your new tv? ... If the issue is simply needing the dish remote to control power and volume you can preform a tv power scan. Make sure your tv is on. On the top of your remote there is 4 mode buttons - SAT, TV, DVD, AUX, hold down the TV mode button for approximately 10 secs. until all four mode buttons light up. Then press and release the large red power button (not the red tv button). Then press the channel up button on the remote repeatively every 10 secs until your tv set shuts off ( same button you use to change the channel but the channels should not change). Once the tv shuts off, prompt press the # key on the remote. Make sure you place your remote back into sat mode by pressing the sat mode button. Now your tv can control the volume and power.
Now if you do not have a picture on TV2 location using the second remote, tune the tv set to channel 21,60,73,116 to see if you have a dish picture on any of these channels. You can do this manually from the tv set if the tv allows or you can change the channel with the dish remote. If you using the dish remote to change the tv set channels you will need to first press the tv mode button for the channels to change. If none of these channels work make sure the cable in the back of the tv is secure and/or try the second cable location on the tv if applicable.
Then make sure the cable in the opposite room located on the back of the box, title home distribution 21-69 out, is secure. If everything is secure reset your dish box by unplugging from the wall for 10 secs. Once system is back retry the channels....If you still have no picture go to the receiver box (TV-1), grab the remote and press the menu button to bring up the main menu option on tv-1 screen. Now select system setup -> installation -> modulator setup. Once on the modulator setup screen select cable or air for tv2 out only. So if air currently selected then you will need to select cable. If you have selected air make sure the channel number changes in the box to display 60 then select done. If you select cable make sure the channel number displays 73 then select done. ( do not interfere with TV-1 out manual, its okay if it changes on its own.) Now go back to tv2 once again and retry the channel numbers. You should now have a picture. Place your remote in sat mode and enjoy. Hope this helps

With Newcastle up 1-0 on Spurs in the 54th minute of their first Premier League match of the
season, Magpies manager Alan Pardew get a little overexcited and shoved a linesman. Pardew was
reacting to the ball going out off a Spurs player, which the linesman apparently didn't see as
played continued, so Pardew gave him a shove from behind.
Manchester City proved they had the best team in the Premier League last season, and their
coaches show that they are not bad themselves.
Filmed at an open training session in the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur ahead of
Manchester City's game against a Malaysia XI. The Blue's coaching staff are involved in a 5-a-side
game where assistant coach David Platt rolls back the years with an exquisite overhead bicycle
By Chris Wright
Short and sweet: A couple of days after his assistant, David Platt, defied the years and the
flab to score a magnificent overhead kick, slick fox Roberto Mancini continued the
theme yesterday by pulling off a nifty little backheeled volley pass during a one-touch drill at a
Man City training session in Beijing.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed that the fitness concerns that bothered winger Ryo
Miyaichi during the club's pre-season tour of Asia will keep the youngster away from full fitness
for at least a few more weeks.
The 19-year old Miyaichi, who is a Japan international was unable to prove himself ready for the
Gunners' 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in Beijing and despite returning for yesterday's 2-2 draw to
Kitchee, he looked a bit rusty.
How has the Far Eastern tour helped in our pre-season preparation?
The bald facts are: Played 3, Won 1, Lost 1, Drawn 1. Hardly an inspiring set of results.Â
The matches were played in dense humidity (Kuala Lumpur), pouring rain (Beijing) and dense
humidity (Hong Kong). Not the sort of climatic conditions to be expected in our first three
Premiership matches of the fast approaching new season: The Emirates, Stoke-on-Trent and
About time we get to enjoy this tour from the spectator standpoint
Hello and hope you're having a good day. Olympics, if that's your thing but if not, there's some
Arsenal today as well. That's in a little less than 3 hours now. Arsene Wenger will rather be more
focused on the match than the constant questioning over a Dutchman.
Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen get's straight to the point during Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to
Manchester City yesterday in Beijing. What would Andy Gray say about this?
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed any apprehensions regarding his squad's potential
following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in Beijing yesterday.
The Gunners appeared to be in control during the first half before goals from Pablo Zabaleta and
Yaya Toure condemned them to a two-goal deficit at the interval.
Second game and still no injury.
Playing in the rain. That was a fun game when we're younger, or could still be if you're young
now. Or not, if your parents are overly protective of you and thinks a every drop of rain on you
would kill one cell in your body. Playing football in the rain is especially fun when you're in a
hot climate and that is your once in a blue moon fix for a little cold weather.
Morning all, Saturday round-up for you starting with yesterday's 2-0 defeat by Man City in
Beijing. Certainly the four Man City fans in attendance will have been happy at the result, but one
or two shoddy defensive moments aside I thought there were some encouraging things from an Arsenal
point of view.
Goals from Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta ensured Manchester City got their pre-season up and
running as they beat Premier League rivals 2-0 in Beijing earlier today.
By Alan Duffy
Many a woman and, indeed, gay man will have fantasised about having strapping Belgian defender
Thomas Vermaelen launching himself at them. However, for assistant ref Sian Massey, the Arsenal
man's attentions rather caught her off guard during the Gunners' Beijing friendly with Man
Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby is aware that the 2012-13 is critical for him if he is to finally
put his injury-prone past behind him.
The lack of full fitness has restricted the 26-year old Diaby to merely 26 appearances across
all competitions in the last two seasons and as he looks to finally regain full fitness in the
coming season, the Frenchman has praised manager Arsene Wenger for supporting him all along.
I'm depending on you two
A very good Friday to you and I hope to find you well. Pre season means that the matches could
fall on any day and that's exactly what happens today. Arsenal takes on reigning Premier League
champions, Manchester City at the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing later today.
For the second consecutive summer, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is unhappy with the
Premier League champions transfer policy.
Asked in Beijing on Thursday whether he was "disappointed" that City haven't signed anyone yet
this summer, Mancini immediately shifted responsibility to football administrator Brian Marwood
"For this question, speak to the man in charge," Mancini said, when asked about Van Persie.
"For this question, speak to the man in charge," Mancini said, when asked about Van Persie.
If you think you know your Arsenal, it is time to think again. Woolwich Arsenal, the club that
changed football.
By Miles Rackham
On Friday 27th, Arsenal face Manchester City at the Birds Nest Stadium, Beijing. Both teams have
already won a pre-season game, Manchester City [.
Mohamed Azmi Muslim made the match interesting when his 30 yard flyer beat Vito Mannone as the
defense went to sleep (eye roll, its Arsenal!) just before the end of the first half. By then the
Gunners had missed at least three good chances including one from Andre Dos Santos.
Arsene Wenger made a number of substitutions in the second half and late in the half, Nico
Yennaris charged down the right latching onto one of Alex Song's preternatural passes.
So pre-season began in earnest yesterday with a 2-1 over a Malaysia XI, although it took a
couple of late goals to do it.
Having gone ahead in first half injury time with a belter of a goal, the Malaysian side looked
fit and determined to cause a 'shock'. We looked very much like a team which was playing its first
real game and although we never really clicked we missed a number of very presentable chances.
Despite Manchester City's disappointment in Europe last season, Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech
Szczesny has described them as one of the best teams in the continent.
City clinched the Premier League title in dramatic fashion two months ago on the last day of the
2011-12 campaign to put an early Champions League elimination well behind them.
It looks like Arsenal won't be touring Nigeria this summer after all. The Premier League club
announced on July 5th that they'll be postponing their trip to Africa, which was scheduled for Aug.
5th. They were supposed to meet the country's national team, known as the Super Eagles, on that
date at the National Stadium in Abuja.
Wenger to Make More Signings
Arsene Wenger has revealed that Arsenal will be signing a few
more players before the summer transfer window shuts close at the end of next month.
The Gunners have already secured the signatures of strikers Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud
this summer and will likely have the injured midfield duo of Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby fully fit
before the start of the new season.
Another chapter on Arsenal's adventure in Malaysia closes as the journey continues to Beijing.
Yesterday saw Arsenal defeating a Malaysia XI side, coming back from a goal down to salvage a win
in the closing phase of the second half. Lots of happy fans and lots of happy sponsors. But more
importantly, if not the workout, the heat alone would help the players shed a few extra stones
picked up in the off season.
Tuesday the Colorado Rapids announced the signing of midfielder Hendry Thomas, who will occupy
an international player slot on their roster.
The Honduran international spent his last three seasons with Wigan Athletic of the English
Premier League. Thomas appeared in 55 matches for the Latics during the three-year stint with the
English side.
A rather exuberant fan of Edison Cavani, evidenced by the portrait in his fan, is even more
exuberant to see his hero. Or is auditioning for a horror flick to be distributed by Tartan Asia
Extreme. One or the other. (Yes, this is in Beijing and they're predominantly South Korean
It's been well established that Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis will say and do whatever he
wants, so it should come as no surprise that the eccentric producer of such films as Christmas in
South Africa, Christmas in Miami and, of course, Christmas in India, is now threatening to pull his
club out of the Supercoppa Italiana match in Beijing.

Sharon Ward, historian at First United Methodist Church in South Portland, says when she was a child, Sunday service used to attract as many as 150 parishioners; these days, 20 congregants is a good showing for worship.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer
The First United Methodist Church in South Portland, which lost its steeple years ago because of wood rot, now stands to lose its congregation as well. Due to declining membership and increased maintenance costs, the church will close for good at the end of next month, with a final worship service set for Aug. 25.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer
Ward said she isn't sure what will happen to the building. Its future will be decided by the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church. Ward said the value of the building is limited.
According to the Association of Religion Data Archives, Maine lost 13 United Methodist churches from 2000 to 2010. The United Church of Christ closed 23 churches in the same period.
The Catholic Church closed 38 churches, in part because of its push to consolidate parishes. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland is selling off 30 properties, most of them church buildings. St. Patrick Church in Portland held its final Mass in May and has been sold to the owner of the adjacent Westgate Shopping Center.
Since three-quarters of Mainers don't identify with a specific religion, the impact of a church closure isn't felt by everyone, but for those who are affected, it can be significant.
"When these closings happen in bigger communities, they can contribute to urban blight," said Pope, the Boston College professor. "But the bigger impact is, churches provide a social network and part of belonging for people. They connect families to neighborhoods."
The closure of a church won't change the faith of people like Sharon Ward.
"We always say 'God's spirit is everywhere,'" she said.

Correction: This story was revised at 11:30 a.m., July 31, 2013. An earlier version categorized the United Church of Christ as Presbyterian, which is how it was reported by the Association of Religion Data Archives. In fact, the UCC is considered Congregational.

Two older people, one working full-time, cannot clean up a house from a flood. And pretty much everyone we knew was going through the same thing. Add the lines and the forms and the paperwork to apply for relief, and the mold just kept growing.
For us, the Red Cross was worthless, but others we heard got aid. I think it was a triage situation. FEMA was pretty much, we can offer you low interest loans through the Small Business Administration if you qualify. The State of Minnesota was awesome providing up to $50,000 in a "forgivable" loan—but we would soon find out that that was a drop in the bucket. And yes, the insurance company did pay $250 for what was lost in the refrigerator and freezer due to the electrical blackout.
For us, and many others, the saviors of the day were the Salvation Army. Truly caring, compassionate people who were able to coordinate volunteers who not only came and dumped the entire contents of our basement into a dumpster, but did demolition, cleaning and partial repair!
On the day our basement was cleaned out, I was so over-wrought that my mother came out, gave me some valium and took me to her house. I cried myself to sleep and came home after they left. All the memories of my children's childhood, keepsakes, antiques, things that I had worked for so long to acquire, and the boxes of stored food, medical supplies and ammunition. All gone…
They came back and demolished the sheetrock in the basement and washed the block walls down with bleach water. Eventually they were able to get volunteers to even repair part of the basement where my step-daughter slept.
My vacation hours were gone and I had to resign from my job. There was just too much to do. We were down to one income.
A tree that had almost come down on the house had to be removed. It was lifted with a crane over the house. Not cheap. There was so much construction going on all over southeast Minnesota that contractors were impossible to find. I got the Amish to dig out the collapsed retaining wall, pull back the boulders and build a new retaining wall. Not cheap. The flooding creek had almost taken out the barn and riprap—small boulders—were needed to stabilize the bank. Not cheap. The rest of the basement had to be rebuilt. A new furnace had to be put in. And it seemed like the electrical appliances up stairs were all on the blinks and going away. School had started. Winter was coming.
We had to apply for an SBA loan. My home had been paid for, now we were $100,000 in debt and only had one income.
It was the next year before we got the money to completely rebuild. And then it was the contractors. I have come to hate contractors. One or two days a week and off they go to another job. And if you are not there, they take shortcuts and screw you where they can.
By 2009 we were finally recovered from the flood. But our finances and emotions had taken its toll. And what had I learned through all of this…?

Our BA & MA Programs
It is our pleasure to introduce you to our BA & MA programs in Cultural Diplomacy.
We at the CCDS have worked intensively and collectively to design innovative graduate level programs that provide a unique approach to the study of the fields of international relations, global economics, intercultural relations, art & culture, globalization and global governance. We believe that the traditional academic components of a degree in these fields must be adapted to fit in our dynamic, rapidly changing world. To that end, our approach to contemporary global affairs focuses also on the increasingly important roles of soft power and cultural diplomacy in world affairs.
The programs are unique and innovative in their content and approach and offer professional development in cultural diplomacy and related fields. For students with an interest in foreign policy, international affairs, cultural diplomacy, political science, or international economics, the programs provide a platform from which students can gain hands-on experience and high-level knowledge; equiping students with the tools to launch their career even before the completion of their studies.
Concept of the Degrees
In the 21st century, bilateral and multilateral relations have assumed a greater importance than at any time before in history, and international cooperation has therefore become imperative in maintaining and improving the economic, political, and social environment in countries worldwide. The processes pervade almost all areas of human activity, and the issues that foreign policy makers address at the highest levels increasingly affect the ordinary lives of people around the world.
These developments have significantly increased interest in the study of International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy, and concurrently, have created a need for professionals who understand these subjects. The diminishing power of the individual nation state, combined with the international nature of modern issues like global politics & economics, human rights, global health, climate change, international terrorism etc, now demand interdisciplinary academic instruction and experience.
Expertise in one field no longer guarantees professional success, and it is therefore vital that those aspiring to work in the fields of international relations and diplomacy have an advanced understanding of a number of relevant disciplines, including, but not limited to, International Politics, International Economics, Diplomacy, Culture, Philosophy, and History.
University programs striving to provide students and young leaders with the fundamental understanding and practical skills necessary for careers in international affairs must now adjust their programs accordingly to include commerce, development, and culture as topics of study.
The CCDS Programs in Cultural Diplomacy, which operate under a joint partnership between the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy and leading European universities, offer unique educational programs that educate students from around the world in the above mentioned academic disciplines related to International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy. The programs go beyond the traditional International Relations-based approach to globalization, while considering the role of Cultural Diplomacy and interdependence in a multipolar world.
Key Objectives of the Programs
Educate students about Cultural Diplomacy within the context of the political, economic, and cultural dimensions
Analyze soft and smart power strategies within the international relations discourse
Equip students with the relevant skill sets and knowledge required to embark on a career in the highly competitive international arena
Provoke individual thought and reflection on new issues surrounding the rapidly developing field of Cultural Diplomacy
The Programs are Distinct in Offering the Following Key Benefits:
Students will have exclusive and privileged access to all ICD events and programs around the world, which will provide opportunities to network and build contact with world leaders and prominent experts in various fields from around the world.
The program offers a core curriculum in International Relations & Economics, Global Governance and Globalization.
The program guarantees to provide students with an expertise in the field of cultural diplomacy
The program provides the students with the advantage of learning in two major European cities and thus the opportunity to gain academic, professional and personal experience from living in two different cultures
The program consists of a unique structure that provides students with the opportunity to gain practical experience parallel to their studies by giving them the opportunity to participate in the activities of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy, which will save them time in their careers and guarantee that they will have this experience in their CV.
The program provides students with expertise in at least two academic fields which will give them a significantly greater number of career options in the future and will be give them a considerable advantage within the political arena against students who simply have a BA/MA in International Relations.
During the Professional Development semester of the program, students will be able to create and implement their own programs of Cultural Diplomacy and experience how the knowledge they have gained can be effectively applied in the professional world. This also provides the relevant professional experience and contacts that can assist students in preparing for their future careers.

Nasty weather, including a chance of strong tornadoes and howling thunderstorms, could be on the way for Christmas Day along the Gulf Coast from east Texas to north Florida.
The storms will hold off long enough to let Christmas Eve bonfires light the way for Pere Noel along the Mississippi River, officials said.
Farther north, much of Oklahoma and Arkansas were under a winter storm warning, with freezing rain, sleet and snow expected today. A blizzard watch is out for western Kentucky. No matter what form it takes, travel today could be dangerous, meteorologists said.
The storms could bring strong tornadoes or winds of more than 75 mph, heavy rain, quarter-sized hail and dangerous lightning in Louisiana and Mississippi, the National Weather Service said. The greatest risk is in areas north of Interstates 10 and 12, with the worst storms likely along and southeast of a line from Winnsboro, La., to Jackson and DeKalb, Miss., according to the weather service's Jackson office.
"We understand that most people will be focusing on the holiday," said Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant. "Please plan now for how you will receive a severe weather warning, and know where you will go when it is issued. It only takes a few minutes, and it will help everyone have a safe Christmas."
In Alabama, the director of the Emergency Management Agency, Art Faulkner, said he was briefing both local officials and Gov. Robert Bentley on plans for dealing with a possible outbreak.
Forecasters said storms would begin near the coast and spread north through the day, bringing with them the chances of storms, particularly in central and southwest Alabama. No day is good for severe weather, but Faulkner said Christmas adds extra challenges because people are visiting unfamiliar areas. Also, people are more tuned in to holiday festivities than their weather radio on a day when thoughts typically turn more toward the possibility of snow than twisters, he said.
"We are trying to get the word out through our media partners and through social media that people need to be prepared," Faulkner said
Meteorologists also recommended getting yards ready Monday, bringing indoors or securing Christmas decorations, lawn furniture and anything else that high winds might rip away or slam into a building or car.
"Make sure they're all stable and secure — that there's not going to be any loose wires blowing around and stuff like that," or bring them inside, said Joe Rua, with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, where storms were expected to roar in from Texas after midnight.
On Christmas Eve, more than 100 log teepees for annual bonfires are set up along the Mississippi River in St. James Parish, which is a bit more than halfway from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, and about 20 in St. John the Baptist Parish, its downriver neighbor, parish officials said. Most are 20 feet tall, the legal limit.
Fire chiefs and other officials in both parishes decided to go ahead with the bonfires after an afternoon conference call with the National Weather Service.
The bad weather was expected from a storm front moving from the West Coast crashing into a cold front, said weather service meteorologist Bob Wagner of Slidell.
"There's going to be a lot of turning in the atmosphere," he said.
Ten storm systems in the last 50 years have spawned at least one Christmastime tornado with winds of 113 mph or more (F-2) in the South, Chris Vaccaro, a National Weather Service spokesman in Washington, said in an email. The most lethal were the storms of Dec. 24-26, 1982, when 29 tornadoes in Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi killed three people and injured 32; and those of Dec. 24-25, 1964, when two people were killed and about 30 people injured by 14 tornadoes in seven states.
A National Weather Service statement from Jackson, Miss., said the main questions are how far north and west the threat will spread — and whether the storms will be more scattered, resulting in a greater tornado risk, or more in the form of a squall line, resulting in a higher risk of damaging straight-line winds along with embedded tornadoes.
In the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, Timothy J. Babin said the 10 or so wire Christmas sculptures in his yard and more than 180 plastic figures in his mother's yard are ready for just about any storm. Each one is staked down when it's set out, he said.
Dozens of toy soldiers, a nativity scene, Santa and nine reindeer (don't forget Rudolph), angels, snowmen and Santa Clauses fill the yard of his mother, Joy Babin.
"From a wind standpoint, we should be fine unless we're talking 70, 80, 90 miles an hour," Timothy Babin said.
Out shopping with her family at a Target store in Montgomery, Ala., on Christmas Eve, veterinary assistant Johnina Black said she wasn't worried about the possibility of storms on the holiday.
"If the good Lord wants to take you, he's going to take you," she said.

Boston Marathon organizers confident of safe race
The arrest of a man with a rice cooker in his backpack near the Boston Marathon finish line led police to step up patrols Wednesday, while organizers sought to assure the city and runners of a safe race next week.
The actions of the man, whose mother said he had a mental disorder, rattled nerves as Boston prepared for the annual race, but authorities said they did not consider it a security breach.
VIDEO: Toddler climbs into vending machine
A child is safe after climbing into and getting stuck inside a claw crane machine at a Lincoln, Neb., bowling alley Monday.
Solemn tributes mark Boston Marathon bombing anniversary
Survivors, first responders and relatives of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing marked the anniversary Tuesday with tributes that combined sorrow over the loss of innocent victims with pride over the city's resilience in the face of a terror attack.
Questions linger year after Boston Marathon bombs
A surveillance video shows a man prosecutors say is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev placing a bomb near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, just yards from where an 8-year-old boy was killed when it exploded.
Little sign of progress as Obama, Putin speak
Speaking for the first time in more than two weeks, President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin showed little sign of agreement Monday, with the U.S. leader urging pro-Russian forces to de-escalate the situation in eastern Ukraine and Putin denying that Moscow was interfering in the region.
3 dead after suburban Kansas City shooting
A man opened fire outside a Jewish community center on Sunday, killing two people before driving over to a retirement community a few blocks away and killing someone else, authorities said.
Couple: Truck was on fire before deadly bus crash
A couple said a FedEx tractor-trailer was already on fire when it careened across a median, sideswiped their car and slammed into a bus carrying high school students, adding a new twist to the investigation of a crash that killed 10 people.
Initial reports by police indicated the truck swerved to avoid a sedan that was traveling in the same direction in this town about 100 miles north of Sacramento, then went across the median. There was no mention of the truck being on fire.
'Obamacare' under attack as conservatives eye 2016
Republicans eyeing the 2016 White House race battered President Barack Obama's health care law and nicked each other Saturday, auditioning before a high-profile gathering of conservatives that some political veterans said marked the campaign's unofficial start.
Finance officials: Global economy turns the corner
The world's top finance officials expressed confidence Saturday that the global economy finally has turned the corner to stronger growth. This time, they may be right.
Despite challenges that include market jitters about the Federal Reserve's bond-buying slowdown and global tensions over Ukraine, policymakers said they believe there is a foundation for sustained growth that can provide jobs for the millions of people still looking for work five years after the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
There's a new 'face,' but old problems for health care law
Abruptly on the spot as the new face of "Obamacare," Sylvia Mathews Burwell faces steep challenges, both logistical and political.
Burwell, until now White House budget director, was named by President Barack Obama on Friday to replace Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who oversaw the messy rollout of the health care overhaul.

Provo >Automotive Sales & Services > Independent Import
1245 N 500 W, Provo, UT | Directions 8460440.249382 -111.667492
Neighborhoods: North Park
Incredible Service and People – I purchased our BMW from Independent Import 4 years ago, I have loved the car, and very much appreciated how good of care I have received from Thayne, Matt, Ricardo and everyone. I now take all my cars to Independent Import.
I especially enjoy how they call and talk to you about the repairs, will show you the work required, and never try to shove down your throat additional work the car doesn't need. I even went in saying I thought I needed new brakes, they looked at them and told me I didn't and sent me on my way. I think most other places would have just happily replaced the brakes, or pretended to replace the brakes and charged me.
I highly recommend Thayne and the staff at Independent Imports for all your auto repair needs in Provo, and all of Utah County.
I saw a good rating and chanced it. – I was coming up from Southern California and my 2002 MB C320 started acting up. Seemed like it wasn't getting fuel. It was Saturday of Labor Day, 2010, no one helps you on those days. I was able to get in touch with someone there who got me in contact with their owner. Though he wasn't able to get me the help I needed that day, parts and all, he gave me good advice to continue my vacation up to the Grand Tetons and said they'd try to have it fixed up by the time I came back through. All in all he was able to contact me and discuss what they found, give me a fair estimate and had me on my way when I came home. He didn't try to get me to fix things that didn't need fixing and was able to find a solution to my problem without breaking my vacation bank. I don't mind spending money when I'm getting quality and integrity. I would spend my time and money there because I felt as if I could count on them.
Peace of mind!!! – Let me tell you about Independent Imports and how they do business COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY. My 2000 BMW 740IL had numerous problems. Every time the CHECK ENGINE light came on, I heard a cash register sound. The LOCAL BMW dealer (SLC, Ut and Pleasant Grove, Ut) and other shops were NO HELP WHATSOEVER! The dealer charged THOUSANDS of $$$, but another problem always arose in just a few weeks.
Independent Imports changed that. Just over two YEARS ago, in 2009, Independent Imports completed a thorough inspection and repair recommendation finally addressing every problem in my BMW 740IL. Two years later, I've not had a single new problem.
And, it doesn't stop there. For the past two years, Matt and Ricardo (best BMW tech in Utah!!!) have freely provided advise and support keeping my 740 in first rate shape.
I highly recommend Matt, Ricardo and Thayne at Independent Imports. A good (and honest) BMW shop is hard to find. You won't find a better BMW repair source in the SLC, Utah area. I've tried just about them all. It's worth the drive if you're out of the PROVO area. Well worth it!!!
Above and Beyond – My family was on a road trip heading back toward the Bay Area when our 2001 Passat began making a strange sound from the front end. We found Independent Import online and gave them a call from an hour outside of Provo. Thayne, the owner, said to bring the car in, even though it was outside of normal service hours. Thayne thoroughly examined the car, correctly diagnosed the problem -- a barely visible warp in the tire -- and got us safely back on the road that day. He answered all of our questions and even took the time to show us how the suspension was designed and what to watch out for in the future. I was most impressed with Thayne's obvious concern for the well-being of both the car and, especially, its passengers -- my family. The entire experience was truly above and beyond anything I could have expected. If I lived anywhere near Provo, I would always take my car to Thayne, Winston and the crew at Independent Import. I highly recommend them.
By the way, I think Thayne Peterson is the new owner - the reviews about Lonnie seems to be outdated.
Best BMW shop in Utah – Ive been to the dealer and other shops and NONE have taken care of me like Indpendent Import in Provo. With the new ownership of Independent (Owner) Thayne Peterson. They have made my 3 BMWl's that I own drive smooth for a great price. With Matt at service dept manager and Ryan over sales they are a class act. I tell my family and friends to go there and they always taken care of them. Thanks guys keep up the good work.
Rude – Tried once and will never take my car there again or recommend. Found Lonnie to be unproffecional and rude. ' I DON'T WANT YO WORK ON YOUR CAR' I guess I will take my busines elsewhere.
Get Taken Care Of – I've owned four Volkswagens and taken all of them to Lonnie @ Independet Imports (formerly Independent VW). He is always fair and forthright.
If you want to get jerked around my money-hungry grease monkeys, go somewhere else. If you want great service and fair prices go to Independent Imports.

(Luke 1:38)
Her son has died on the cross. She must now fully accept the inevitable. He is gone from this world. In her agony, she remembers that over 33 years ago, she had said, "Behold, the maidservant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38). Acceptance.

What God's Word Says About Self Defense
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Self Defense in the New Testament The Christian pacifist may try to argue that God has changed His mind from the time that He gave Moses the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 or the provision for justifiably killing a thief in Exodus 22. But the writer of Hebrews makes it clear that this cannot be, because "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:. In the Old Testament, the prophet Malachi records God's words this way: "For I am the Lord, I do not change" (Malachi 3:6).
Punishment of sin such as theft is God's domain for he is Judge
only he without sin can rightiously aplly such a punishment for a theif threfore only God could do such a thing.
Jesus illustrated this point to the pharissess and teachers of (God's) law
when he was asked about the woman caught in the act of adultery the punishment for which according to the law was stoning the woman to death.
Jesus then made it VERY plain that the Laws of God are set out to highlight things which God hates, namely sin.
Buit then Jesus made it plain that only God is HOLY and RIGHTIOUS ENOUGH To carry out the punishment of the things he hates
and no man was without SIN
except Jesus himself (even though those clamming to be Gods servents didnt believe that.)
So Jesus told them
Let HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.
Showing that NO MAN HAD THE RIGHT TO CARRY OUT GOD'S JUSTICE IN REGARD TO GODS LAWS.
