I am not a very ardent die-hard would-kill-for-a-ticket-to-her-concert-no-matter-the-cost kind of fan but in all the female musicians from the US that I know of, she is the only one that I truly deeply feel the fanhood for! I mean, whats not to love about her? She hawt! And I remember clearly saying that I will write a post about her…specifically because I love her a lot!
But to be honest, its hard for me to say exactly why I like her. I cannot analyze reasons why but they are simple. She is beautiful, she has a killer body and duuh…she has one heck of a voice! Especially that! I can listen to her songs back to back without getting bored and even more, be singing along as the songs play!!
I started loving her in the days of "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. I used to know that song like the back of my hand!!
So, beause of that, here is the youtube video of that legendary song! Yay!!
p.s. I am totally addicted to Miss B…completely!!
And the hot hot one "Can You Keep Up"! Jeez the dances! OMG! OMG!!
(If I go on…this will be boring! :-p)

Stick to the jail observations. Pure social commentary isn't your strong suit.
With all due respect to you, Shaun, he's right. You're a wonderful blogger, and your stories are often legitimately great. But this, and one you did a while back (somehting about lawyers and Beelzebub) have been big let downs.
- Chris Hawthorne said...
Shaun, forget what they say, your blog is your own for you to write what ever you wish. However, I disagree with your rhetoric.
If smoking pot is illeagal, then it's illeagal. Everyone KNOWS it's illeagal, so if they continue to use it then they deserve what they get.
Hang in there dude...
Much to my own dismay, I feel compelled to comment and debate with you on the issues raised in this blog, Jon. Whether or not marijuana is a gateway drug is a hot topic for debate. I am fully able to point out to people who conclude that it is that there are many other factors that come into play with drug use/abuse. Often, it is found that people with addictive behaviour (such as not being able to resist all those chocolate bars for instance)fall into the trap far easier than others. The list of other factors is quite extensive and I will not get into it here, but for the sake of argument, I have provided an example. I disagree with you, however, and join others who agree that it is a gateway drug. I have come to this conclusion through my own personal experiences, having read research in the area and knowing a few statistics, and most importantly, having watched the people around me. This is not to say that all potheads will do other drugs. Given your environment history, I would have thought that you would also agree. If you would, I would like you to tell me why you disagree with preferrably no political dribble, but more based from a personal rationalisation and justification.
Secondly, you attack Mr. Bush (of whom I am definitely no fan) for his blatant hypocracy. I thought it worth making a point, after countless debates of my own, on this. Someone once asked me if I would ever want my own children out partying and doing drugs. My answer was unequivocally NO! Is it wrong to want better for your children? Is that not what most parents should aspire for on behalf of their children? Not to mention, that there is not nearly enough (if any real evidence at all) research conducted on the long term effect of drugs. It was only a couple of decades ago that society began to recognise that cigarettes were indeed bad for you! Just think what other drugs are capable of given their strong immediate effect.
I will patiently await for your response, Jon. I sincerely hope the remainder of your sentence is passing swiftly and there have been no unpleasant altercations.
With respect to others opinions, I believe Shaun is right. As a college student, the use of marijuana on my campus is almost as common as the keg parties and we aren't even in on the list put out of schools that party hard. I realize that that smoking marijuana is illegal but at one point so was oral sex and homosexuality. As it is still debated if marijuana is a gateway drug or not, we shouldn't be making assumptions of what it will do in the future until we have hard facts.
If other countries have decriminalized or even legalized marijuana it can be said that as an institution they have determined that the benefits of not criminalizing its use outweighs the the hassles of filling our jails and tainting the records and lives of so many young people who are the future of our nation. If we continue on the path we are on now, we are just going to be seeing our future presidents, senators, CEOs, and others with criminal records for marijuana use. It might not even matter in 20 years.
On another note: Shaun, great blog, great stories, and keep watching your six.
About what the last person said, the problem is secondhand pot smoke. In the case of tobacco, people can get nicotine seven ways that do not force its addictive poison onto innocents and yet they prefer to smoke it, instead of nicotine gum, losenges patches, injections, snorting snuff, eating cigarettes, and chewing tobacco. I don't smoke, but secondhand, the nicotine acts as a stimulant to me (keeping me from being sleepy) when I have to breathe it. When people breathe secondhand pot smoke, they get high just like the stoners--there have been several movies made on this subject, including a Cheech and Chong one.
I am not sure, but I believe that people in USA prisons are forced to breathe secondhand smoke by the prisoners. Even so, be glad you're not in Japan.
- Chris Hawthorne said...
I just think you're all ignoring the fact that it's currently illegal. You know it's wrong, so why risk it?
Regarding an earlier comment about oral sex and homosexuality once being illegal, does that mean we should do everything that is currently illegal, in the hope that one day it will all be ok? You could use that comment to justify doing anything that's currently illegal and it would seem to me to be an excuse for doing something you know is wrong.
I can't beleive the level of po-faced bollox you lot are coming out with! Jesus wept! George was a stoner - fact. George was a tooter - fact. George was/is a boozer. Drugs are everywhere, drugs are endemic, always have been, always will be. America spends $60 billion dollars a year on drugs. Laundered money from the illegal drugs trade (*Chris Hawthorn note spelling of illegal*) props up the American economy and by dint that of the rest of the world.
The war on drugs is unwinnable, every political leader knows that. They just make the right noises to the people that form the core of their voters (a good percentage of whom are as likely to be hooked on prescribed drugs in one form or another).
The use of second hand smoke getting you high..? Using a Cheech and Chong film as evidence..? That's going to stand up in a court of law isn't it?
The fact that weed is illegal is by the by. The point Jon was making was that weed is a fairly benign substance (as long as you don't have latent mental health issues) that is used by the American Government as a handy means of ensuring a steady flow of customers into its massive and highly profitable prison industry. Cause that's what it is - an industry.
- Chris Hawthorne said...
Whoops! I can't spell illegal! Sorry. You can't spell Hawthorne (note the E at the end), so I guess we're even.
dirtos, dude, you seem to know an AWFUL lot about the American drug industry. Is there something we should know? And how is the fact that weed is illegal irrelevant? Most of Shaun's article was about how people are being arrested (because it's illegal) and that he thinks it should be brushed under the carpet beacause, hey, it's only weed!
Would you watch you're 20 year old son (lets pretend you have one) smoke a bag of weed?
I think not.
Holy Moly! This calls for Markers Marks all round. Jon obviously has inside sources here – check out George's previous talks with the Man Upstairs..
Chris, I also couldn't spell 'believe' - so you've actually got one up on me!
To anonymous, I know a lot about the American drugs industry because I read a lot. All kinds of crap, the back of a shampoo bottle will do if there's nothing else to hand and I've got a prolonged stay on the old throne...
The drug industry is something I choose not to contribute to (nicotine and alcohol aside), that's my choice reached after years of research. I would happily watch my 20 year old son smoke a bag of weed if that is what he wants to do, but not before filling him in on the (relatively small) risks involved.
Weed is illegal largely as a result of political pressure from the emerging petro-chemical industries in the late 20's early 30's of the last century. Compared to alcohol it's a massively benign substance, the fact that so many people are being imprisoned because of possession of it is a national disgrace and a cynical exercise in making sure all those new prisons are kept filled. I beleive in certain states the use of sex toys, oral sex and buggery are illegal. Should you be caught breaking any of those laws would you put your hands up and say, "it's a fair cop guv, laws is laws after all, illegal is illegal, you got me with the dildo bang to rights." or would you question the use of such rulings and question the state of the leaders who implement and enforce them?
Talking about legal/illegal, in Washington State and Utah it is not illegal to have sex with animals,(in Utah only if it's not for profit).
Isn't the USA a diverse and interesting place?
Animal lover (not in the biblical sense)
"Like Hitler said, if you repeat something often enough the masses will believe it."
My landlord lives below me and smokes pot on a daily basis for hours. To me the smell makes me want to gag and it's not great for my health or my career as an actress.
I've called the police for over 6 years now and they've only come out once. My landlord denied ever smoking pot to the officers but it was clear the them, he is a pot smoker indeed for the smell of his breath and the disgusting stench of pot lingering from the apartment was verification enough.
The officers said they would report it to the narcotics division but nothing came of it (I've checked numerous times and nothing will ever be done to him). So if pot smoking is illegal, why won't anything be done?
(If I could find a better apartment in the same area for what I'm paying, I would move.. but fat chance!)
Regarding pot being a gateway drug... well, it's hard to say. The theory, as I understand it, is that in order to get pot, one must make contact with unsavoury individuals, who will try to persuade one to try harder drugs. That sounds fairly plausible to me... however, it's a side effect of prohibition, not of any quality of pot itself. If pot were legal, then it would be no more a gateway drug than alcohol is.
Come on up to Canada, dirtos! Small amounts of marijuana are not illegal in most provinces (and the ones that it is illegal will only give you a slap on the wrist) and the maximum fine for trafficking is 2 years.
As for it being a gateway drug. What joke. If that was the case all us Canadians should be crackheads by now. Ha!
Free healthcare for the poor, prisons that are not privatized and overflowing, a very small presence in that pointless war in Iraq. Trust me dirtos, you'll love it! Why not? You're obviously surrounded by government herded sheep down there.

Clonguish succeed at the second attempt
Peter Hanley Motors Senior Football Championship Quarter-Final Replay
Clonguish . . . . . . . 0-10 Fr. Manning Gaels . . . . . . 0-6
While Clonguish clinched a semi-final spot in the Senior Football Championship in earning another crack at Longford Slashers, it took them quite some time to assert their superiority over Fr. Manning Gaels before eventually winning by four points but a serious cause of concern is the injury sustained by Paul Barden during the course of the first half.
The county captain was clearly hampered by what appeared to be a groin strain which eventually forced him to retire in the 26th minute of the floodlit quarter-final replay at Emmet Park in Killoe on Friday night and at this stage Barden must be considered extremely doubtful for the last four showdown against Slashers on Sunday September 16th.

What is Contact Improvisation?
The definitions are many and as continually evolving as the form.
Contact Improvisation is a partner dance form based on the physical principles of touch, momentum, shared weight, and most quintessentially - following a shared point of contact. The form was founded in 1972 by Steve Paxton. Integrating his background as a modern dancer and his studies in the martial art form Aikido, Steve developed Contact Improv through explorations with his students and colleagues at the time. This dance practice explores the skills of falling, rolling, counterbalance, lifting using minimal effort, how to make ourselves light when being lifted, centering and breathing techniques, and responsiveness to our partners and surroundings. - contactimprov.com
CI is a practice that feeds many different artistic, social, and spiritual pursuits. I host and attend jams to enjoy the physical meditation of being present - in the now within myself, with my environment, and with my community. I teach and attend workshops taught by other improvisers, as a means of deepening my understanding and discovering new applications of this ever-evolving form. I attend performances and perform improvised scores with colleagues in order to share this work with a greater community and learn through observation. Finally, I utilize CI as a creative practice in the development of inter-disciplinary, dance, and dance/theater performance. - Stephanie Nugent

As I was going through photos and thinking to work on a blog post late Friday afternoon, thunder was rumbling in the distance. A brief shower and that was it ( thus far, anyway ). We went through the same pattern yesterday.
I am a firm believer that May and June should be nice and balmy with temperatures no higher than 70 degrees. I should not have to swelter in close to 90 degree weather for days on end Mid-May. Well too bad…that's how it has been around here lately :) I had to watch the grands for awhile on Thursday and I almost jumped in with my clothes on :)
The last week or so has been full of 'babysitting' here and there…a sleepover, picking Brent up after school…going down for an hour or so when needed ; what-have-you.
Mothers Day weekend had us at a work party in regards to the boys dads' house on Saturday and then a highlight of Sunday was when friends came over with their two children and their new baby…just four days old! So precious.
It was not all that long ago that I finished up my Stars and Spools quilt and it has gotten plenty of use since then.
"AND that is exactly just where I want that dog", says Kanga…."Sleeping and not chasing ME around"
With the leg injury that I had awhile back, I had to take it easy and given that we had so much rain over the last two months, the weeds in my garden area out back ( and everywhere that I want to plant ) were out of control. I have been trying to work on these beds a bit each morning now. I also had some containers and one was horribly cracked. I emptied its soil into a bed and put it and another little pot next to the fence on the other side of the yard…intending to put it into the garbage cans later.
Koopa, my youngest sons dog was outside later on barking like crazy! At these pots! And jumping back and shaking all over as if they might come alive and move on him! I was just cracking up…ran in for my phone…
I must admit that I have not been visiting blogs in the last week or so in the way that I usually do…it seems that when I get onto the Internet and the news that I just get caught up in the news cycle ….the political stories of the last week just hit one after another after another. I am so tired of it.
It seems as if this president has been here for 1000 years versus 100+ days, lol. And listening to him in a press conference with the Columbian president saying Cocoa versus Coca over and over again…last month he could not pronounce Nazi ….( He said Nah-Zee over and over again ) I just cringe. I am so embarrassed for this country. Granted most voters felt that we did not have a good choice either way…but this is the result now.
Well, hand-quilting is calming and thank goodness that I have a quilt project that soothes me. Stitch by stitch when I sit down with it the news drops away a bit…
I finished up one block, then another and have moved on to a third this week.

FOUR years ago the then-Labor government, in the run up to a general election, which it was clear it would lose, implemented the policy of mandatory, indefinite off-shore detention for asylum seekers arriving in Australia by boat.
Labor's policy was embraced by the incoming Liberal government. Despite the New Guinea Supreme Court finding over a year ago that the detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island breached the human rights of the detainees and was illegal, they remain trapped in New Guinea.
The consequences for the welfare of the men detained by us on Manus have been profound and tragic. Six of them are dead. Almost all of them have experienced trauma as a result of their incarceration and treatment by Australia, which will have severe negative consequences on them for the rest of their lives. We have knowingly harmed these people.
As recently as the last few weeks the Minister for Immigration, Peter Dutton, again characterised the asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru as "economic refugees" despite the fact that a clear majority have been accorded refugee status.
Two months ago an Iranian refugee, Hamed Shamshiripour, died on Manus Island. His death prompted Roger Cohen, a columnist with "The New York Times" to express the depth of the disgust that he and people around the world, including in Australia, feel about Australia's treatment of asylum seekers.
He said: "Australia has reduced the men, women and children on the islands (Manus and Nauru) to namelessness, referring to them by registration numbers. Asked their names, kids often give a number. It's all they know. At least the digits are not tattooed.
"As refugees have committed suicide, been killed or sexually abused, Dutton has dismissed them as illiterates bent on stealing Australian jobs."
Another refugee died on Manus Island last week. It is reported that he committed suicide. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten have been silent about his death. Nevertheless, one hopes that suggestions they will each have privately reflected that at least he didn't die at sea are too cynical.
My fear is that the continuing refusal of both the ALP, of which I am a member, and the Liberal Party, to engage with the community or be open about how they intend to bring this shameful episode in our history to a close will inevitably end in more deaths and further physical and mental harm.
It is clear that the two parties are engaged in a morally bankrupt contest of wills – a kind of Russian roulette – with the first to blink to be immediately damned by the other as "soft" on border protection and pilloried as such all the way to the next election.
While the US has agreed to swap some asylum seekers it is almost certain that hundreds will be left behind and that their mental torture and trauma will continue unless or until they are repatriated to Australia or a third country that can guarantee their welfare.
It is past time that the government and the opposition found the maturity and humanity to resolve this matter. If the two parties cannot agree on a way forward then it's time that the better man of the two leaders rose to the demands of the occasion, accepted responsibility for the harm done, apologised for their and our collective failure as a nation and resolved to find a new way.
A first step, which I urge the leader of my party, Bill Shorten, to take could be to contact the family, in Sri Lanka, of the latest asylum seeker who died on Manus Island, extend condolences on behalf of the Labor Party and Australia for his death, apologise that he died in our care and undertake to facilitate the repatriation of his body to his grieving family.
Surely that is what all good people in Australia would expect if it was their son who had died and would applaud if our leaders extended that simple courtesy and respect to others on our behalf.

The useful, the odd, the whimsical, the curious... EclecticOne is the veritable toolbox of fonts, filled with symbols you can use anytime - elements for borders; those EC (environmentally correct) recycled symbols (this font was the first to have them!); horizontal "diamond" arrows; and of course the mysterious toaster. (Is it burnt toast? Wheat toast?)
One reviewer suggests "for whatever you do, EclecticOne is an excellent dingbat source."
STF Eclectic One is a visual cornucopia of symbols, like the junk drawer in your kitchen. Stuff you'll need someday for a graphic element, bullet or dingbat application. Perfect for website icons!
The Eclectic family is legendary, with a cult-like following among the inititated. As one of the first dingbat fonts available on the web, it gain popularity after its design in the early 1990s. With over 150 characters in the complete set, you'll find yourself using Eclectic One almost daily to add spice to your otherwise san-serif typographic existence.
This font is essentially a soap opera of typographic image elements, created for projects when I couldn't find the "thingbat" I needed. Almost more of a collection of illustrations, there are many characters which connect to form patterns, and of course it's like a "small neutral European country" army knife for the creative community.
EcOne features complete hour, quarter, and half-hour notations in an analog clock design glyph, recycled/recyclable symbols, a registration mark, a toaster, globes, sideways diamond arrows, spaceships, stoplights, the "running man," several atomic references, da buzz saw, target icons, the unusual smiley face floating in a ball (with a drop shadow, no less!), and the fish skeleton which complements the fallout shelter symbol, and more. Make your own juxtapositions!

Arsenal and Liverpool are leading the chase to sign Lille's £10m-rated striker Gervinho.
The Ivory Coast international is one of the hottest properties in Europe after scoring 15 goals for the French club to help them win the French title this season.
Gervinho is also attracting interest from Tottenham, but reports in France suggest Arsenal or Liverpool is the most likely destination for the prolific forward.
Although Lille will be playing in the Champions League next season, Gervinho is refusing to rule out a big money move to the Premier League.
Gervinho said: "I have a contract with Lille until 2012 and I am happy here. Playing in the Champions League is a big attraction for me.
"But I also have other offers and I have spoken with the club. I will decide my future after the final game."

When City Council member Ron Natinsky set his sights on the mayor's race, District 12 suddenly faced the prospect of losing a powerful incumbent at Dallas City Hall. But voters can ensure that this North Dallas district still has effective representation by returning Sandy Greyson to the council.
Greyson, 65, aspires to reclaim the seat she held for eight years before term limits forced her out. In the June 18 runoff election, she faces a tough and well-financed challenger in Donna Starnes.
While Starnes, 59, has gained traction with her emphasis on fiscal restraint, Greyson has a much deeper understanding of city issues and is prepared to be a leader on the council from day one.
Both candidates oppose a property tax rate increase, but Greyson goes further, outlining improvements she would make to the budgeting process and urging greater restraint in awarding tax abatements.
Starnes is a certified public accountant and a financial planner who cut her political teeth as a tea party organizer. While her budgeting and finance experience is valuable, her one-note message of cut, cut, cut lacks nuance and needed detail.
Greyson offers well-informed, specific ideas for moving both the city and District 12 forward. She earns this newspaper's recommendation in District 12.

Garden Work Party: Saturday June 8! 2-6pm. 28th and Foothill
Category Archives: Garden
Garden underway
We've been hard at work. We cleared a lot of weeds in the lot and took out five huge bags of trash. We got the soil tests back today and there are no heavy metals, which means we can plant into the ground. There was so much growing in the soil: chard, poppies and a cherry tree!

There are few things quite as wonderful as an all-day breakfast. The delight of being utterly confused by a plethora of choices when it comes to ordering eggs is unparalleled.
On a friend's recommendation I tried out the breakfast at Red Fork Cafe in Indiranagar. What followed was what I can only describe as guiltless gluttony.

Both modules recognise each other but the serial functions in Pocket C dont seem to be passing the data across the rf link. Any thoughts? I'm guessing I need the interface protocol for the blue5 to send data.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Sarah Nosek, PhDAssociate Professor, The Donald Everett Axinn Division of Social Sciences
Sarah Nosek joined the Southern Vermont College community in August 2010 after earning a Ph.D. in Social/Health Psychology from Stony Brook University in May, 2008, and spending two years as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. Sarah is currently an Associate Professor of Psychology in the Social Sciences Division, and teaches several courses across the curriculum including Introduction to Psychology, Social Psychology, Health & Stress, and Conflict Resolution.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." "This is the kind of empowerment that I want my students to feel after they have graduated with their degree from SVC", says Sarah; "It is the kind of empowerment that comes from having enough knowledge and self-confidence to succeed in life, despite all obstacles." Sarah believes that learning is a lifelong experience and enjoys learning from her students as much as she enjoys having the opportunity to teach them.
Originally from a small town near Albany, NY, Sarah is happy to be living in Vermont. She loves the mountains, particularly the view from the living and learning space on campus. Being able to work at a place like Southern Vermont College, a small, friendly and student-centered campus community, is the reason that Sarah chose to be a college professor. She encourages current and prospective students (and their families) to contact her with any questions regarding the social sciences division/psychology major and to stop by and visit anytime they are on campus.

I have frequently maintained that the so-called Free Will problem is a pseudo-problem needlessly complicated by confusing free will with freedom of choice. Psychologically, Choice is always conditioned by antecedents; practically it is conditioned by circumstances. Genuine free will is only evidenced in spontaneous deeds and in creative activities. I have reiterated this a score of times, primarily in "Free Will as Creativity" (in The Sphinx and the Phoenix, 2009). I have written these lines on coming across Carl Erik Fisher's "Against Willpower."I will see if I have any comments to make.
The first few words of Fisher's paper show clearly that the willpower under discussion is a species of choice. "Will I or will I not have another glass of wine?" This is a very intricate issue relating to the psychology of character and the theological problem of sin. The theological contention that we sin willfully is absurd. To say that we are free since we are free to sin is nonsense. Rather, we sin because we are not free; because, from the moment of birth, we are subjected to influences that shape and limit and control our choices. We sin because, in Spinoza's words, we do not have adequate ideas, or as Socrates says, we are ignorant. This is Socrates' much-maligned so-called intellectualism. I have gone into this many times in my writings and this is not the place to expand on it.
In my previous writings about free will I stressed the error of confusing free will with freedom of choice, but I did not pay much attention to the theological problem. Still I don't think I will have much to add to what I said in the preceding paragraph. What concerns me is to emphasize that freedom is spontaneity and that spontaneity is creative. The anteecedents of a spontaneous deed or creative act condition and colour the deed or act but do not determine it. Shelley's character, upbringing, and culture condition and colour Prometheus Unbound, but no god, given the data of every cell and neuron in Shelley's body and brain and every trace of memory in his mind, could predict "It doth repent me: words are quick and vain: Grief for a while is blind, and so was mine. I wish no living thing to suffer pain." Our deeds of love and valour are instances of spontaneous creativity. We are truly free when the intelligence that is our inner reality creatively outflows; not our conceptual reason but that intelligence that, to my mind, is the ground and fount of all reality and all life. I believe that our simplest acts are free and creative in the sense that they are not physically predetermined. I stretch my hand, hold the cup of coffee, put it to my mouth, take a sip and swallow. These do not proceed mechanically one from the other but flow as elements of a single act because I want to take a sip of coffe. This is true of all human activity. Even while the vilest deed is, on the moral plane, conditioned by the vile character, on the physical plane it is not causally determined (taking 'physical' in a wide sense to include all natural processes).
I hope it will be seen from that that when I speak of free will as creativity I am thinking of two planes: On the moral plane we are only free in our best deeds and acts, in deeds of love and valour and in poetic, philosophical, and artistic creativity. On the physical (natural) plane our acts are creative (originative) in the sense that they are not causally determined. I believe that nature never repeats itself. All natural process comes with a difference, perhaps imperceptible to our finest instruments of observation. The revolution of the earth around the sun cannot, simply cannot, be perfectly identical this year with what it was last year if only because the mass of both earth and sun has changed in the meantime and continues to change all the time.
Thus the endless fruitless controversies about the compatibility or incompatibility of free will with causal determinism rest on three errors; (1) the confusion of free will with freedom of choice; (2) the failure to distinguish between the moral plane and the metaphysical plane; (3) the error of ignoring that the processes of nature are never repetitive so that all the so-called laws of nature are essentially approximations and are always transitional.
I think I will emd this blog here (before going any further into Fisher's paper) but will only add that I do not speak of free will as a faculty but as a metaphysical principle, consistently with my metaphysical vision where I hold that ultimate Reality is sheer intelligent creativity (which I also designate creative intelligence or Creative Eternity).

We only claim to be best at getting people from zero self defense skills-wise to being able to truly protect themselves faster than anything else. When I am shown other handgun or knife defenses, for example, I see some that are good and make sense but would need too many hours to become proficient with. The IDF only had soldiers in boot camp for six weeks…and they had to become proficient enough at everything to not get killed by the end! Most martial artists would admit that if you would spend three months in their art that you wouldn't be very good, that you would need more time. Three months in Krav Maga will get you to the point where you can test into level two…and you are pretty darned good when you get that far and could truly take care of yourself in most bad situations.
If someone had 20 hours to train for a knife attack that they knew was coming they would train knife and maybe learn some more advanced techniques than we are going to bother with in Krav Maga. What a bummer if at the end of that twenty hours they were attacked by a handgun wielding maniac instead! Krav doesn't get into anything complicated but teaches things that are easy to learn, easy to remember and, most of all, effective. We believe that we can't put a ton of hours into any one thing because in the real world we can be attacked so many different ways. We want our students good at choke defenses, fighting, handgun disarms, knife defenses, stick defenses, long gun disarms, sucker punch defense, kick defenses, ground fighting, head lock defenses, full nelson defenses, hair grab defenses, etc., etc. There are different "arts" that focus on each of these things that together will get you very, very proficient at all of the above. You could go from one art to the next for several years to be an expert at defending yourself for all of these. At the end of those several years you will be one bad person!! Or, you can take Krav Maga and in six months maybe not be an expert but be able to defend all of the above.
How does Krav do it? We don't teach techniques per se but philosophy. A knife system that I once learned had 30 techniques for a straight stab coming at your gut. To learn all of these took many, many hours. Krav teaches to block the knife, smack the attacker hard and often and control the knife when you can or push off and run and/or pick something up to smack the attacker with some more!! We train our mindset with drills so that we can turn on aggression and fight with rage. When it comes time to be afraid in a real life attack we've kinda been there, done that where the technique guy has learned techniques but always used them in a controlled, static environment. The stress of "I'm gonna die" does amazing things to the unprepared brain!!
As far as our techniques go, we use natural body reactions in our defenses. Because it is something that our body does automatically it doesn't take much practice or memorization. For our choke defense we "pluck"…our hands go to the wrists of an attacker and we rip their hands off our throat. People tell me often that they have a better defense for a choke. I tell them they don't have an easier one…it is natural to grab the wrists of the attacker because our hands go to where the pain is. We have started our defense before we even realize that we are being choked. As far as weapon defenses go, we try to have one that works for many different positions and attacks. Our handgun defense, the cupping technique, works for a handgun in front, to the side, while on our knees, mounted, attacker in our guard and attacker standing over us. When a handgun is pointed at us we don't have to think about which defense is needed…they are the same defense. We want to have one answer for many questions.
Again, we don't claim to be the best at anything besides getting people proficient quickly. We've been called simple and brutal among other things. That is usually said as a slam but we see it as a compliment. In a real world, violent attack simple and brutal is all that's really going to work! Be safe!!

After a period of quiet of nine days in Israel, terror has returned today, with two stabbings. Just hours after a woman was stabbed in Rosh Ha'ayin, a second stabbing attempt took place this afternoon at the Tapuach junction.
The incident took place at about 4 p.m.
The terrorist tried stabbing people waiting at the Tapuach hitchhiking post.
Border Police in the area pointed their guns at the terrorist, who stopped in his tracks and dropped his knife. He was then arrested.
Boruch Hashem, there were no injuries.

A South St. Paul Republican who unsuccessfully challenged 2nd District Rep. John Kline in the 2012 Republican primary is announcing another campaign against Kline today.
David Gerson takes issue with Kline's votes to raise the nation's debt ceiling. He also disagrees with Kline's support of national security related surveillance bills.
"He says that he's for limited government and free markets and individual liberty but he doesn't vote that way. He's voting for bigger government, debt increases and taking away our liberty."
Kline responded to an inquiry about Gerson's candidacy with a statement saying he will continue fighting what he called the "ObamaCare train wreck."
Gerson was a favorite of tea party supporters in his last campaign. But he says the label "traditional Republican" suits him better than "tea partier."
"We want to redefine what the Republican Party is and it's back to our original platform," he said. "These aren't any extreme ideas, this is just us actually voting for our platform. I don't think people get that."
Last year Gerson won less than 15 percent of the 2nd District GOP primary vote. This time, Gerson says he will not challenge whoever wins the GOP endorsement.

It may seem funny since my blog is all about saving money and being a cheapskate, but I am encouraging everyone to never close a credit card because it will COST YOU MONEY.
Used correctly credit cards can be a great way to save (and even make) money. This is counter to what many Debt Elimination programs preach. Indeed Ramsey says "There is NO positive side to credit card use. " I like both Dave and John's programs and follow much of their advice, but on this point I strongly disagree, credit cards just need to be used responsibly.
I will break down 3 main reasons not to cancel your credit card.
1 – It will hurt your credit rating.
2 – Its an interest free loan.
3 – Rewards.
1 – A large component of your credit rating is credit utilization. That is the percentage of credit you are actually using. If you call and have a credit card canceled you are reducing your amount of available credit so you utilization will go up and your credit rating will go down.
For example, lets say you had two credit cards with a $5000 credit limit and they were both maxed out, this would but your credit utilization at 100% and would greatly reduce your credit rating. Now lets say through saving and scrimping you were able to get one of them paid off. Great your credit utilization has gone down to 50% this will be a nice boost to your credit rating. But you decide to follow the advice of the Dave Ramseys of the world and cancel the paid off card, what happens? Your credit utilization goes back to 100% and your credit rating drops back down.
Another component of your credit rating is the length of time you have had credit. If that credit card you just canceled was a very old line of credit you could be in for a double whammy hit on your credit rating.
2 – Where else can you get a short term loan for no interest than a credit card? Just make sure you pay off the full balance of your credit card every month on the due date and its a free loan. I do put everything I can on my credit card. If I am going to buy $30 in groceries today, by putting it on my Discover Card® , I wont actually have to pay for 1 – 2 months (depending on my billing cycle). That is $30 I can have in my Bank of Internet Checking Account earning interest. Obviously keeping $30 for an extra month or two will not make you rich, but if you do this with all your spending all the time, it will add up. (more…)

...what's that? What's that thing at the bottom of the screen? The... the new BottomLine is back! I knew it was only a matter of time! Naturally I have some thoughts:
- When the BottomLine first disappeared I gave a list of some things that maybe they were adjusting it for. It certainly appears it now has "SCORE ALERT" functionality, but it also has a bunch of graphic spiffiness involving the divider between the score and stats - which, while I liked the shrinking of the score, if adopting that functionality is part of the reason the return of the BottomLine took so long, they need to take another look at their priorities.
- Looks like ESPN2 isn't losing the last vestiges of its identity after all, as the ESPN2 BottomLine still says "ESPN2", albeit because my SD TV has problems with centering (or that could just be my cable box) it's partly cut off. They're clearly locating both logos differently vis-a-vis the right side of the screen (and each other) compared to the old BottomLine.
- It appears that, regardless of program, it's simply "ESPN BottomLine" except on SportsCenter. Granted, I only noticed the change on Jim Rome Is Burning, Around The Horn, and PTI, not on studio shows like NFL Live and Baseball Tonight.
- Why is it, say, "RANGERS VS ORIOLES" for baseball when a game hasn't started yet, but for, say, the Gold Cup, it's "USA" and "HONDURAS" in separate boxes as though showing the score, as in the old BottomLine? If it's to condense the display to show when a game is on an ESPN network and 360, why is it condensed for the other baseball games, and why isn't it condensed for soccer? Personally I prefer the separate-boxes approach, the other way is just gimmicky...
Remember when Versus introduced a new banner at the NHL Conference Semifinals? Well, for the Conference Finals, and continuing through its Stanley Cup Finals games, Versus changed its banner. Again. So, which was the banner they originally intended to adopt for the long haul? Was the change a response to people's criticism of the old banner, or was the old banner always a placeholder until the new one was ready and they were too embarrassed about the previous banner to wait?
Or is this the placeholder while Versus updates the other graphics? Because if there's one thing that marks this graphic, it's the return of the old fonts. Beyond that, the main features are the addition of black-on-white boxes for the period number and time left in the period.
Meanwhile, it's official: the gray, two-line box is becoming a trend. Fox adopted it not only for FSN, but for its own baseball broadcasts as well, and ESPN turned it into a strip; now TBS has joined in on the fun. But TBS seems to be insanely protective of its video; not only can't I find any video of the new TBS box online that I can embed, ESPN and other outlets (even MLB.com!) use local feeds for their highlights of TBS games (which means there aren't even any highlights I can't embed). But they can't shake this forever, and you will see a full analysis of the TBS box come this October.
In tennis, ESPN moved the banner it introduced at the Australian Open to the top of the screen at the French for some reason. Somehow I think that wasn't the only change; the strip seems bigger for some reason. Whatever it is, it seems more amateur.
At Wimbledon, however, perhaps as a result of realizing that the banner was potentially confusing and maybe even in preparation of transitioning tennis onto the new MNF-styled banner, ESPN rolled out a small, compact box, but kept the "scoreboard" aspect of, among other things, showing deuce as 40-40 by placing the points alongside the game count and abandoning server-first order entirely (again). It's a big improvement over the Australian/French banner in my opinion, one of the better tennis graphics ESPN has yet tried that isn't a carbon copy of the norm in this country.
It appears ESPN took one lesson from the world feed, but not the one I suggested last year upon seeing their abomination of a Wimbledon graphic - the points display here is similar to that used by the world feed. All that's left is showing number of sets instead of score of sets and abbreviating last names! Okay, not so much...

Title: Outcasts
Series: The Safe Lands Book 2
Author: Jill Williamson
Website: http://www.jillwilliamson.com/the-safe-lands/
Publisher: Blink
Publication Date: January 7, 2014
Genre: YA Dystopian/Spiritual
Source: Received for an honest review.
Book Description Courtesy of Amazon:
Uncovering the truth could cost them their lives.
Since entering the Safe Lands, Mason has focused on two things: finding a way to free his village from captivity, and finding a cure for the disease that ravages many within the walls of the Safe Lands. After immune-suppressive drugs go missing in the clinic, Mason discovers his coworker, Ciddah, may know more about the Safe Lands than imagined … and may have an agenda of her own. At the same time, Mason's brother Levi is focused on a way to free the remaining Glenrock captives, while Mason's younger brother Omar decides to take the rebellion against the Safe Lands into his own hands as a vigilante.
Soon all three brothers are being watched closely—and when Mason stumbles onto a shocking secret about the Safe Lands meds, his investigation just might get those closest to him liberated.
My Thoughts:
Fantastic dystopian, coming-of-age, political Christian thriller! Who knew you could combine all that in one series? I have found a new, fascinating, and stimulating author and I just wish I had more time to hunt down and devour the rest of her books. I may have just found my summer project!
Assuming you have read the first one, this ones falls right in line and continues with the multitude of storylines, and character evolutions that began in Book 1: Captives. If you haven't read Captives, go find it and read it first. It's a must.
From the beginning, I loved that the focus was not just on one of the brothers, but on all three: Levi, Mason, and Omar, and on their respective relationships, with their other halves, with their friends, with each other, and ultimately with God. Almost, if not every possible teenage issue is discussed and dealt with on a personal level with at least one of the characters; teenage pregnancy, self-esteem, drugs, peer pressure, sibling rivalry, and above all, doubting God, and your relationship with him and how it affects your relationship with others.
Impressively, not only does Williamson's narrative confront these personal conflicts, she takes it to a whole other level confronting issues on a societal level, as well. She mainly focuses on the downfall of the constant pursuit of "feeling good" despite the repercussions, but there are elements of questioning societal structures and how "outsiders" are dealt with, and ultimately makes the reader question just how far a government could go to maintain itself.
This book would provide for quite a lot of discussion material for a young adult group/youth group setting, especially paired with a standard bible study. I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys these types of books, or to anyone who is a young adult or who deals with youth on a regular basis.

Moral Relativist and Tolerance Part2
Relativism is judgmental, exclusivist, and partisan. This may seem an odd thing to say since the relativist asserts that his viewpoint is nonjudgmental, inclusivist, and neutral when it comes to moral beliefs. But consider the following.
First, the relativist says that if you believe in objective moral truth, you are wrong. Hence, relativism is judgmental. Second, it follows that relativism excludes your beliefs from the realm of legitimate options. Thus, relativism is exclusivist. And third, because relativism is exclusive, all nonrelativists are automatically not members of the "correct thinking" party. So relativism is partisan.
The "tolerance" of moral relativism either condones barbarism or is self-refuting. As I pointed out above, some moral relativists embrace tolerance because they believe that such a posture is appropriate given the diversity of moral and cultural traditions in the world today.
What if the respected or tolerated culture disrespects and advocates violence against individuals who dissent? When a girl fights to escape female genital circumcision or foot-binding or arranged marriage, when a widow does not want to be burned to death to honor her dead husband, the relativist is obligated to "respect" the cultural or traditional customs from which the individuals are trying to escape. In so doing, the relativist is not merely disrespecting the individual but effectively endorsing the moral ground for torture, rape and murder. On moral issues, ethical relativists cannot possibly remain neutral—they are committed either to the individual or to the dominant force within a culture.
Relativists have made explicit one central value—equal respect and tolerance of other ways of life, which they insist to be absolute and universal. Ethical relativism is thus repudiated by itself. The professed tolerant are definitely not tolerant.
