A North Atlantic right whale calf has been documented offshore in the Atlantic Ocean, beginning the count for what biologists hope will be a better calving season than last year's.
The whale was photographed off South Carolina to begin what Clay George, senior wildlife biologist and lead right whale researcher for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Nongame Conservation Section, hopes will be at least an average year for right whale calf sightings.
"We've received other reports off the coasts of Georgia and Florida, too, but do not have photos of them," George said.
Over the past decade, surveyors have seen an average of about 20 calves a year, but George says the numbers fluctuate because there are generally three years between births by breeding females.
Those fluctuations mean numbers can range anywhere from the record low of one calf sighting in 2000, to the record high of 39 in 2009, George said. Surveys began in 1980.
Dips in the calf count become a concern only if they occur for several years in a row, George added.
That is why the seven calves spotted last winter, one of which died, are not a major concern, George said.
George says he hopes this year's numbers will be back up to more normal ranges, after more breeding females were seen in the Bay of Fundy, a key foraging ground on the coast of Nova Scotia in Canada, during summer.
"There are at least 75 females in the population that haven't calved since 2010," George said. "I think it could drift back to an average year."
The Atlantic Ocean from Georgia to about Cape Canaveral, Fla., is the only known calving ground for the critically endangered species, with only a little more than 400 known to exist, George said.
He is urging boaters to slow down in areas the whales frequent during the November through April calving season. While there is no speed restriction for boats shorter than 65 feet, those that are larger must travel 10 knots -- 11.5 mph -- or slower through common calving zones, George said.
Doug Lewis, captain of the DNR Law Enforcement Division in Brunswick, says most ships follow the rules.
Smaller boats, which have no speed restrictions, are more likely to break distance rules, Lewis said.
"The most common thing we see is people getting too close to the whales," he said.
All boats are required by federal law to stay at least 500 yards away from a right whale in the wild, Lewis said.
Those rules are designed to cut down on deaths of the species caused by propellers or fishing gear, George said.
North Atlantic right whales have the second smallest population of all whales, George said.
Only the population of the North Pacific right whale is smaller, with a little more than 100 known to exist.

There are many differing schools of thought regarding Quentin Tarantino
and his so-called "style". There are those who believe that the
director who began his career as a humble video store clerk with a
voracious appetite for movies of every conceivable style is talented
and worth imitating. While Tarantino has made some movies worth
discussing for their positive qualities (Reservoir Dogs is, by far, his
best effort), this group of movies is rather small, especially
considering that he has only directed five movies. There is another
school of thought who regards his works as inane, self-indulgent, and
bloated. Pulp Fiction, written and directed by Tarantino, and released
in 1994, is his most divisive movie simply by virtue of being his most
well-known. Upon its release, it was hailed as a warning shot to a
complacent Hollywood- the maverick behind the indie hit Reservoir Dogs
apparently had something else up his sleeve.
Pulp Fiction is ostensibly a crime story featuring the interconnecting
lives of several characters. However, upon repeat viewings, the viewer
begins to wonder exactly what that something is. Personally, I found
this movie ran too long in spots, likely because Tarantino is so
ridiculously in love with the sound of his own voice as spoken by
different actors that he is afraid to cut one speech or even a single
line. Dialogue, though it doesn't necessarily need to serve the story
to justify its inclusion, should not be so dense as to drive the viewer
out of the experience. When John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, on the
way to retrieving a briefcase for their employer, are talking about
European hamburgers and foot massages, the scene plays like a witty
outtake- as though the actors so understood the style of the movie that
they were in that they felt comfortable riffing with the material. Not
so- the rest of the movie is filled with conversations of a similar
type, including (but not limited to) body piercing, blueberry pancakes,
hamburgers (again), and coffee (this one performed by Quentin Tarantino
himself, as though he couldn't wait to get a shot at delivering his own
The strangest thing is, while the characters are "in character", as
Samuel L. Jackson says in an opening scene, the movie is quite
enjoyable. When the characters are placed into real confrontations, the
movie takes on an entirely different persona and becomes at least a
decent crime movie. Ultimately, however, these scenes are few and far
between and, unfortunately, the movie clocks in at 154 minutes. There's
really only a decent short film in all of this.
The movie also lacks what I would call a plot. The movie is described
as three stories about one story, though that one story (ending,
chronologically, with Bruce Willis and his irritating Euro girlfriend
riding off into the sunset) doesn't connect the characters enough to be
truly about one thing.
Ultimately the movie is a prime example of what happens when a VCR and
a wide selection of movies replace film school. The movie lacks a
coherent center and seems more like something that was made for the
sake of just committing something to film and resurrecting the flagging
career of John Travolta. The movie is too large in scope to sustain
itself, and, in the end, implodes because there is really no conviction
behind the presentation- too concerned with being a hipster-cool riff
on a crime story, rife with pop in-jokes and 70's music (perhaps the
best part of the movie is the soundtrack), somebody must have neglected
to mention that the movie went nowhere and lacked the momentum to even
get there.
While all of these qualities combine to form a truly deplorable viewing
experience, I do have to mention Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson as
two performers in this movie who, I felt, got away clean. Bruce Willis
probably gets away with it because he's alone for the majority of his
segment and, therefore, doesn't have anybody with whom to trade
despicably derisible dialogue. Samuel L. Jackson gets a mention because
of the scene at the very end of the movie in which he confronts Tim
Roth's character and makes him realize that there are far more fearsome
powers at work in the world than robbing a diner. In fact, the scenes
coming directly at the beginning and the end of the movie are the two
best, and everything else is filler.
As you no doubt have guessed, I fall squarely in the latter of the two
groups I mentioned at the beginning of this review. Pulp Fiction is
inane, self-indulgent, and bloated.

I think one of the problems many people have with this movie is that it defined and set into motion an extremely irritating trend in contemporary film. The god-awful clones of Tarantino pouring out of indie and mainstream studios alike should not, however, detract from the brilliance and subtlety of this movie. It works simply because those moments of brilliance (I have to admit I know the whole "Jules redemption-speech" by heart) that its imitators lack come in the midst of the camp and gore they all do so well. Tarantino alone uses an adolescent obsession with shallowness and morbidity to high satirical effect--like all great films (or even novels), this movie sets itself into a two-dimensional genre (absurd, pop-culture, comic-book situations) and then undermines its own genre by exposing the heart and soul underneath. There are too many points in the movie in which this happens to mention, but a few come to mind: the blown kiss from Vincent to Mia at the end of the first (or maybe second) story; the death of Vincent; the obvious emotional dedication of Butch to his wife at the end of his own story; Vincent's unwillingness to believe in his own supernatural salvation without realizing he's doomed; and, of course, the climactic speech. With the exception of Jules's final words, many of these moments seem at first to be horrifying or funny--but this is only because they fit so well into the flow of the script. A second glance shows them to be moments so poignant that the only reason they work is because they are so unique to the characters and their situations. The changes in each (or the lack of change) come, in a sense, as they individually choose to either drive for them or fall behind. Most die-hard fans of the movie, I'm sure, have heard the story of the briefcase and the band-aids on the back of Wallace's neck (the entire movie being a quest to bring back his stolen soul), and although Tarantino has denied it, he can't deny that the movie is full of such heroic themes: escape by trial, the reclamation of past, love as both physical salvation and personal security, a will to believe in something beyond one's own selfish world. I won't say that if you don't like this movie that you're mistaken or ignorant, but I think that Tarantino puts his audience into settings much like his characters are in: cheap, full of profanity and nastiness, fleeting. The best of them break through; I think he asks that anyone watching do the same.
You want to do something really neat? Take the movie "Pulp Fiction" and re-cut it, so that, instead of being out of sequence, it is actually in proper sequence. It can be done. Why do this? Because if you do, you will see what a nothing movie this really is. There is no central plot, there is no real theme, or story or climax. It is just a bunch of tricks and overly snappy dialog, masquerading a piece of fluff that has as much depth as the kiddie pool. Hey, more power to Tarantino, the guy is a Houdini, full of slight of hand. But are we really so simple, that we are ranking this one of the ten greatest movies ever made? Come on! OK, I know that Travolta is cool and Jackson is funny. However, let's reserve the greatest films of all-time category for real masterpieces and real stories, and not some overly slick pulp geared towards video store geeks.
It is neat to believe in your heart that you are hip. And if you can obtain coolness by watching a movie, wow! I believe that everybody who says they like Pulp Fiction thinks they are cool. They think that a movie with such style and witty banter is only for the hip. The only problem is that this film is as empty as a Scottish pay toilet and perhaps the most pretensious piece of nothing ever. If you have not figured it out yet, there is no story here. Tarantino simply shoots a pointless movie and then breaks it up so that we do not see it in its proper sequence. So things that happen last come before things that finished before and vice versa. You start to wonder, gee, am I not intelligent enough to follow this? Then you realize, uhhh, no, it is actually fairly simple. He is just stringing a bunch of scenes along in no particular order. Then he gives unrealistic and long-winded speeches to characters that are not particularly realistic. It does not make the film really bad, but at the same time, it does not make it good either. You can paint a piece of crap all kinds of different colors, but it is still a piece of crap. I wonder if Tarantino has the talent to actually tell a real story without having to resort to fancy tricks, shocking scenes and other gimmicky tricks. I doubt it. Oh well, I guess I am just not that cool. I mean, Samuel Jackson sure did say some funny things.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The comments for "Pulp Fiction" generally fall into one of three
categories: 1) "Awesome Dude! The best movie ever!" raves that offer zero
supporting analysis, apparently written by Gen-Y homeboy wanna-bes raised on
"Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" sequels; 2) more considered,
thoughtful raves praising the unconventional structure and 'hip' dialogue;
3) absolute horror that such violent, profane trash was ever made in the
first place. I am much closer to #3 than the other two.
I had read about "Reservoir Dogs" (but not seen it) when "Pulp" was
released. I went to see this with an open mind, before all the hype erupted.
I almost walked out during the Gimp scene. I found this movie impossible to
enjoy, because it seemed to revel in sadism, profanity, and cruelty, and I
could find not one character to identify with. The whole film was simply
unpleasant and repulsive - I just cannot find humor in graphic, casual
murder. "Apocalypse Now" and "Seven" are favorite films of mine, so I do not
buy the 'go back to Mary Poppins' routine from many of the defenders of
"Pulp". I think the audience (and possibly Tarantino himself) simply gets
off on seeing people like this go about their business - it is a vicarious
thrill. I have known some lowlifes in the real world, and it is most
decidedly NOT fun. What genuinely scares me about the overwhelming praise
that "Pulp Fiction" has received from critics and viewers is that there is
zero empathy for the various victims of violence in this movie - they are
regarded as mere props, not human beings.
One thing that has always bugged me, story-wise, is the scene in Butch's
apartment with Vega. It makes no sense that a guy who is a professional
killer would leave his weapon in plain sight, out of his reach, while he
'relieves himself'. I do not care how whacked out he is, in hostile
territory he simply would never do that.
Everyone who praises Tarantino as the greatest filmmaker of a new generation
- educate yourself a little about film. The overlapping storyline thing is
nothing new ("Rashomon"), neither is using scatological monologues and
non-stop profanity in place of actual dialogue ("Scarface", for one). Let
Tarantino write or direct something where the characters' primary means for
self-expression is not gunfire, then we can talk.
Sometimes after seeing a lot of good movies people want to watch something undefined and different,but it does not necessarily mean that the movie is good.When the theme song is the best part of the movie you surely can understand the quality.Sometimes ranking and charts do not show the real picture,this movie does not have a good story,a good screenplay or good dialogues but still it is in the top 10.But believe me this movie can neither give you entertainment nor any sense of understanding.Yeah i agree the movie is not boring,but it is not enjoyable either.Movies like shawshank redemption,godfather or lord of the rings,all of them has a magic-feature.Sometimes it is screenplay(Shawshank redemption) sometimes its dialogue(Godfather) sometimes it is the story (The lord of the rings) .But all of them had the important feature called continuity.I think it is a very important quality of a movie to keep it's continuity.This movie is divided into four parts which actually made the movie look like a comedy-puppet dance just with humans(Because the parts do not define one-another). The most embarrassing thing about this movie is after watching it you will think who is the fool yourself or the writer and directer.Yes this movie is different but not always Difference make something great at least in motion pictures at least.Whatever this is a must see movie for all because you can differentiate the better movies after watching it.
This is, in my opinion, the most over-rated film of all time. Sure,
there is some snappy dialogue here and there, and Tarantino has a good
ear for music, but none of this warrants the gushing praise heaped upon
this movie, nor the godlike status bestowed upon Tarantino himself.
It's over-stylised, over-loud, over-acted, (sorry Samuel, Tim, John,
Uma & Bruce) and the non-linear narrative so favoured by the director
simply doesn't work.
But it's fashionable, so it's popular.
By the way, this is one of the few films where I've actually seen
people get up and walk out of the cinema before the end, so I guess I'm
not the only one who didn't like it.
The proof of the pudding, they say, is in the eating. The proof of the
movie is in the watching. Most of the top 250 IMDb movies have kept me
glued to my seat--with this one I found my mind wandering to that
jigsaw puzzle I hadn't finished or the possibility of some popcorn. I
found I had very little interest in the characters or in what was going
I asked myself why. Technically the film is very good. The actors all
hit their marks and Samuel L. Jackson is particularly outstanding. I
liked Maria de Madeiros also as Bruce Willis' wife Fabienne. The camera
work is occasionally interesting, as the long scene where we watch
Bruce Willis listen unemotionally to Marsellus go on. Interesting,
certainly, but rather pointless.
Indeed, that's the problem: so much of what goes on is pointless. It's
a big long shaggy dog story, told by one of those irritating people who
can't get the story straight and have to keep going back: "Oh yeah, I
forgot to tell you about that. Well, you know what I was telling you
before . . ." I tried to find some justification for the
higgledy-piggledy way in which this story is told. It does result in
the best scene being the last one. But if this scene was the point then
why not design the script so that the action is seen to be moving
toward this goal and cut out everything that happens afterward? In the
end I don't think Tarentino knew what story he was telling and that's
why so much is so pointless.
The scenes of Butch attempting to control his temper, of his dilemma
whether to help Marsellus, and the final scene in the restaurant are
all good and entertaining as far as they go but they don't fall into a
coherent framework. And the rest is quite dull.
The dialogue is not witty or clever although it occasionally has its
moments. The constant profanity is as pointless as the rest; the point
of profanity is presumably to emphasize what one is saying, but if
everything is emphasized, nothing is. The mind becomes numbed by it.
It's like someone who shouts all the time. Eventually you stop
listening. The quotes give you a pretty good idea of what the dialogue
is like: when "Shut the f*ck up, fat man!" is listed as a memorable
quote, you know how inane the conversation is.
That this poorly composed script should have won an Oscar is a pretty
clear indictment of the Academy.
This is what I call a fad movie. People say it is a great movie because
other people said it is great. People are afraid to express their true
feelings because they don't want to be ridiculed by their friends,
especially if one is a member of the so-called X-generation. I would
imagine that the number of people who rented the video or saw it on cable
that stopped watching the movie because it was so bad is fairly high,
especially for a movie that is considered a great movie.
However, I concede that a number of people truly like it. However, I find
that there are just as many people who are repulsed by this movie. They
just don't express their feelings in this type of format because a bad
isn't worth the effort of making a negative opinion.

Pulp Fiction is the quintessential 90's crime film. Pulp Fiction
changed the cinematic landscape when it was released, it broke new
grounds in terms of screen writing and revived the career of John
Travolta. And so on and so forth. In other words, Pulp Fiction is
important film in the history in cinema, but it's not the best film
I have seen Pulp Fiction several times and after each time seeing it, I
tend to enjoy it less. I saw it first time a few years ago and loved
every second of it. But after seeing few hundred more films and
especially grindhouse/exploitation films, Pulp Fiction starts to loose
its charm.
Before I continue this thought, I should name the good stuff first. I
loved every moment with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. They did a
phenomenal job and elevated the already strong dialog. Uma Thurman and
Harvey Keitel were also great and so are the scene with Christopher
Walken is still amazing.
But aside from the strong acting and great dialog, there isn't a whole
lot to Pulp Fiction. It's just bunch of stories that happened in non-
linear fashion. It's all being hip and cool and saying clever dialog.
There isn't any complex characters like in Jackie Brown and it lacks
the creative visuals of Django Unchained or the tension of Inglorious
Basterds. I won't deny that Pulp Fiction is very entertaining but there
just isn't enough substance or craftsmanship involved to endure
multiple viewings.
Films like Apocalypse Now, Lady Vengeance, Taxi Driver, Clockwork
Orange and many others, holds up much better after watching them
multiple times. Those films can be enjoyed purely from the technical
aspects and as well as the story and characters. Pulp Fiction is a
popcorn film for those who enjoy dialog, cool characters and movie
references. I like films with an emotional core, strong characters and
impressive visuals.
Pulp Fiction is a film that most of the people have seen. If you
haven't then go watch it because it's entertaining, very accessible
90's crime film. To me Pulp Fiction feels dry and lacks the elements
that draw me in films.

Rams Sign OT Mark LeVoir
The St. Louis Rams have signed veteran offensive lineman Mark LeVoir, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Originally signed by the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in 2006, LeVoir joined the New England Patriots in 2008 after he was claimed off waivers from the Rams. The 6-foot-7, 310-pound LeVoir started two of the 32 games he appeared in for the Patriots from 2008-10, but he was released and signed by the Baltimore Ravens in August. LeVoir started one of the three games he was active for the Ravens before his release last week. LeVoir adds needed depth at right tackle as starter Jason Smith deals with a third concussion in as many seasons.

There's a new phone application that connects South Florida couples with restaurant deals for date nights.
It's called "Date Night Florida," and it's aimed at helping couples enjoy some one-on-one bonding time.
"It's a really fun innovative way to help couples really be intentional in their relationships,'' said Tim Popadic, director of Date Night Florida, who referred to intentional as "taking steps toward each other ... building trust with intentional time."
"The initiative is designed to help enrich all relationships dating, engaged, or married," he added.
Here's how it works: Users download a free phone app that lists ideas for dates as well as coupons for 16 local restaurants. The coupons can be used for desserts, side orders or cocktails at participating businesses, including Big City Tavern and Rocco's Tacos in Fort Lauderdale and Grease Burger Bar and City Cellar in West Palm Beach.
The app also offers conversation topics and quizzes for couples to engage in during their night out.
"When you download the app, you can invite your partner in the app. It connects your two phones. You can literally share whatever you are looking at with your partner,'' Popadic said.
The initiative is supported by Live the Life, a faith-based nonprofit that focuses on strengthening marriages and families. The group has an office in Oakland Park.
The dating challenge program began in West Palm Beach in 2010, and has since gone national. In Florida, it's rolling out to other cities such as Tallahassee, Fort Meyers, Orlando and Tampa this fall.
For more information on the program, go to datenightflorida.com.

Hey guys,
I'm making the transition from mountain bike to road bike because I'm getting a bit tired of driving to the trails.
I'd like to go with a carbon frame and Ultegra components and my price range is about $2400. The two that I like the most are the Cannondale SuperSix and the Fuji SST 2.0. The SST is a 2011 model year and the Cannondale is a 2012. I'm leaning toward the Fuji because I rally like the feel. It's really sharp and responsive.
Any red flags on the bike/frame/company that I should consider before taking the plung?
Ay help would be much appreciated. Thanks all.

New Yorker coming to San Fran Help!!
Coming to San Fran for 1 day, 1 night. Staying at the St. Regis. Looking for a great lunch spot, Maybe in Chinatown. Also need a great dinner spot. Looking for AMAZING FOOD...no restrictions heading to Napa after San Fran... Has anyone eaten at Auberge du Soliel? Thanks in advance
If I were staing at the St. Regis I would eat at Ame. One of the 4 or 5 best restaurants in SF and unlike the others, a style of food that is much more unique to SF than the other top candidates.
Auberge is beautiful but the food is not commensurate with the prices. Not nearly.
I know it isn't necessarily the most exicitng reccomendation, but I have to say, I really like Martini House in Napa.
If I were staying at the St. Regis, I'd eat at Ame. I haven't yet, but it seems to get the most consistently positive reviews of all the high-end restaurants in SF.
Good, recent Chinatown thread:

India: Not a Prop Bag
I blog about racism, islamophobia, immigration, cultural appropriation, queer stuff, trans* politics, caste annihilation, south asian politics (mostly Indian and Indian diasporic), and obnoxious, voyeuristic photography.
Plus I like pretty pictures.
This blog has deep contempt for the commodification of people and culture; white savior-dom, exotification and neo-colonialist assholery.
This blog is NOT for educational purposes. That takes some effort and no one is paying me to do this. It should go without saying that any opinions here are mine, and does not represent any nation, creed or astrological family.
Because I have seen approximately 100000 of them, I tend to have little patience for questions that start with "Is this cultural appropriation?" I don't care. I have written stuff about it, there's a link, go read it. If it bothers you that much, you should also be able to scroll, link and read. There is plenty of stuff on this blog that already answer these questions. And if you still haven't sought what you are seeking… go to the library, read. Or don't. Whatever. I do not care about your cultural appropriating soul — I am not your cultural appropriating soul checker. (If I feel like it, I'll crowd-source opinions for it. Maybe.)
A word on submissions:
I will not post photos that seem personal and submitted without the person-in-photo's consent. I do see a difference between that and a person posting embarrassing photos of themselves on a public platform like tumblr and it gets reblogged.
For the purposes of my submission rule, Facebook is not a public platform. So please don't download photos from your facebook feed and submit it to me. I will not post it if it seems like the person doesn't seem to be aware that their picture is spread like that.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ California's governor has vetoed a bill that would have allowed some sex abuse victims who are now barred by the statute of limitations to file lawsuits against private institutions who employed their abuser.
Gov. Jerry Brown said he vetoed the bill because it unfairly expanded on a similar measure passed in 2002 amid the Catholic Church sex-abuse scandal.
The current bill from Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose would have lifted the statute of limitations for a group of alleged victims who were 26 and older and missed the previous window to file lawsuits because of time and age restrictions.
Catholic Church leaders and representatives of other organizations in opposition said the proposal to allow claims is unfair because it does not allow those accusers to sue public institutions. Brown agreed.

Without money or price
Posted by Melissa Y. | July 3, 2013 | 10 Comments
I was traveling recently with some friends, sitting in the backseat for a five-hour drive home. The two in front were discussing families, kids, and were essentially solving the problems of the universe. I'm lucky to have wise friends.
At one point they talked about the need to teach responsibility, particularly when it comes to money but in other areas as well. The one with older children has parented with more deliberate wisdom than I ever have, and I listened with interest and admiration as she described how she handled their family finances as a single mother. She has been careful and conscious about teaching consequences. "They have to earn things," she said. It was a consistent theme.
As I sat silently agreeing with her in my mind, a thought quietly surfaced: What if God only gave you what you earned?
This thought did not diminish my sense of agreement or change my admiration, but suddenly the bleakness of how my life would look if I only had what I earned tightened my throat. We happened to be traveling through beautiful red rock country, with towering cliffs and sage-studded lower ground. As I stared out the window, the impossibility of grace—the thought of what I would have to do to earn something even as simple as a glimpse of that vista—settled with a leaden heaviness. Sometimes the goodness of God can feel so crushing.
"Entitlement" is a bit of a buzzword in parenting. But as we drove, I wondered if the motes of entitlement in the current view of childrearing have blinded me to the beams of entitlement in myself. Because as it turns out, I expect a lot.
I expect to wake up in the morning and be able to walk. I expect to wake up, period. I expect hot water for my shower, cold milk on my cereal, the car to start, buildings to be cool (or warm), shelves in the store to be stocked, consistent internet service, a working dishwasher. And if any of these expectations fail, I am every bit as grumpy as a two-year-old who didn't get a fruit snack.
I am entitled. And perfectly thoughtless about it most of the time.
There are times in my parenting when I feel like I have become the unforgiving servant. Over the years, I have begged God for mercy over vast amounts of foolishness, sin, and pain. And after tasting the grace that enables me to abide my own guilt, I then turn to my children and demand stringent acquiescence to rules regarding such insignificant items as Legos on the floor or being home by curfew.
Is it possible that the pattern of Levitical law preceding the higher law is a road we all have to travel? Is experiencing punishment and strictness a prerequisite to appreciating grace? While these questions may hang heavy over me at times, they don't seem to bother God much. Although He has told us that culpable blindness will provoke harsh judgment, it does not preclude Him from sending both sunlight and rain upon the just and the unjust. Our obliviousness to the grandeur of waking up each morning does not prevent Him from lending us breath.
As I've grown older, I've found a greater desire for my parenting to mirror the householder who hired the late laborers, to live "the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don't expect it and often feel they don't deserve it," especially when those people are my children. I want to extend the joy of grace without fear of cultivating entitlement, to be trusting enough to offer milk and honey without money and without price.
I want to offer to them what has been offered to me—a life full of crushing goodness beyond what I could possibly earn.
I want the diligence and discipline of my friend (and the resulting sense of responsibility in her children) to be coupled with wanton and wild forgiveness. I want my children to sense the abundance of mercy while having some understanding of the depth and cost of it.
I'm not sure what I want is possible. But I hope it is.

July 3rd, 2013 @ 1:29 pmSuch a true and beautiful essay. Thank you for sharing.
July 3rd, 2013 @ 1:38 pmProfound and gorgeous, Melissa. I'm going to be thinking about this for a good, long time. Thank you.
Melissa Y
July 3rd, 2013 @ 9:01 pmThanks for the kind comments. I'm still sort of chewing on this, because I do believe that it is essential for kids to understand the consequences of their actions. I'm not sure how effective grace is as a parenting technique, but it's been good for me to think about. Also to not speak of entitlement as though I'm immune.
July 3rd, 2013 @ 10:19 pmMy mother once told me, "I used to think that when my children complained about how hard their tasks were and your father would respond by pitching in and helping them do them, that they would never learn how to work hard and follow through. But I was wrong. Instead, what they learned was how to pitch in and help others."
Grace begets grace.

July 3rd, 2013 @ 10:59 pmI like that, MB
Kellie aka Selwyn
July 4th, 2013 @ 4:15 amSometimes I glimpse the love God has for me, waiting for me to reach out and take it, when I consider the enormous love and care I have for my sons. Other times, I catch a glimpse of His grace and mercy for me when – after an afternoon of making my sons do jobs, and homework, and be kind to each other, all of which quite possibly involved my obvious frustration and raised voice – my boys both seek me out to kiss me goodnight, tell me they love me, and holler it out through the house again just before they fall asleep.
"a life full of crushing goodness beyond what I could possibly earn." Exactly.
July 4th, 2013 @ 5:55 amI loved this post. I had a similar thought that I wrote about here: http://indefenseofwomen.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/teaching-children-mercy/
Thank you for your insightful words. We have so much to be grateful for.
July 5th, 2013 @ 10:22 amWow. I love this. And I love what MB said too. I'll be sharing this with my husband.
July 9th, 2013 @ 5:17 amThanks. Love this too. Need this too!

I wish I had done this years ago
I am now sixty years old and up until three years ago never considered having any form of sex with another female. That all changed in the summer of 2005 when we sold the house next door. The house next door to Jim and I had been for sale. So we bought it and did a little work on it , and put it back on the market , for sale by owner. Several people looked at this property but none...Read On

Two senior high students get caught in the act and must submit to the dirty desires of Coach.
It wasCoach William's lucky day as he had caught Jim and Amy half naked in the ball room. Jim and Amy were two of his seniors from his last period gym class. There Jim was, pants around his ankles while Amy was sucking his cock. Amy's top was off and her shorts were half way down her thighs. Coach held back and watched for a few minutes. What made things hotter for him was how Amy was...Read On

A twist on the classic Babysitter fantasy!
I just turned seventeen. I was a junior in high school and lived in Hollywood, Florida. Hollywood is a small city right outside of Miami and there were hot chicks everywhere! My hormones and puberty were in full swing. I am gifted with a nice eight inch cock and at age seventeen, that was truly a gift as my body was filling out. I loved my cock. I couldn't stop playing with it. I jerked off...Read On

OH FUCK IT'S HOT!! I groaned wiping the sweat from my face, WHEW BABY!! We had been working hard dropping trees, clearing brush and doing burn piles.

I have to go the extra distance to close a sale.
Working as a self-employed agent selling home ventilation systems wasn't a great job, but only because it involved quite a high proportion of appointments at night: it was sometimes frustrating to complete an apparently successful sales pitch to the lady of the house during the day, only to have to go back on another night to convince her husband.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Criminal Defense > Is my 18 year old son eligible for free legal counsel for 2 felonies? An...
My son is not yet prosecuted for sales to delinquency of a minor. The minor was charge for possession of Cannaboids and he was also charged for trespassing. What can I do for my son to help him get the help he needs for these 2 felonies he is facing and the 2 trespassing charges.Also he did not actually sell, he only delivered.It belonged to someone else who had him sell for him and it was k-2 . My sons whole future is at stake here. He is a student in HS and needs help and I do not know where to turn since I am disabled and do not know what to do. I do not want my son charged for felonies. I would rather it all be misdemeanors and be able to finish HS and start the work force.
If we could let him join a branch of serice it would be great help for him for discipline.
Need more information.
Normally one must first be "charged" with offenses prior to the appointment of counsel process. Assuming he qualifies, having been found "indigent" after preparing an Affidavit of Indigency, the Court would appoint counsel. . .which may or may not be a Public Defender.
The inquiry did not list a town / county in North Carolina. Some judicial districts appoint private attorneys as counsel. Other districts have a formal Public Defenders office.
Either way, it wouldn't hurt to seek out legal advice from an attorney. Many criminal defense attorneys offer free, confidential consultations.
That is important, as one would want to limit conversations / admissions to law enforcement during the period of time between an investigation and formal charges.
As to the service, generally speaking, it's pretty common for the military to require completion / closure of all criminal charges prior to going to boot-camp. And while military service is an EXCELLENT opportunity, there are some charges that may preclude admission. It can get complicated.
Keep your chin up. This is one of the hard parts about being a parent. Your son is clearly an "adult" in the eyes of the law. Probably the best thing he has going for him is the love of a clearly concerned mom.
Best of luck to you!

First, my thoughts are with everyone in Malibu. Hope everyone gets out OK.
I was on my way to the backbone trails for a ride this morning.
Obviously that didn't happen today. Any other trails east of Malibu?
How's Los Robles in Thousand Oaks? I really like those trails but can I even get there and how's the air up there?
I'm visiting and staying in Santa Monica and looking to ride the next couple days.
I'd like to limit the driving to around 1 hr from Santa Monica.
Thanks, again I hope everyone is safe.

You forgot, Howell, you already admitted it a couple of weeks ago when you change from Educated to no no. LOL ///// Oh, you owned your own business for 40 years? No you did not. You had a half azz trashy store full of filthy crap nobody would by. That's why you had to shut it down. Then you got ran off from your next two jobs, including being thrown out the door at Target for hiding in the stock room so you wouldn't have to work. /// |
What store are you talking about? |
It's coming. Hwy 92 @ 75 in Cherokee.
That's odd. this article from the Atlanta Business Chronicle (I realize that most of you have never heard of it) dated April of this year has no mention of a new store going anywhere near where you say it's going. http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/print-edit... Imagine my surprise |

Hearst III has given a gift to the San Francisco Film Society to fund the new Hearst Screenwriting Grant, worth $15,000, which will be awarded to a mid-career screenwriter who has been a practicing writer for at least five years and who has previously written a minimum of one feature screenplay.
The grant is open to writers residing in the United States whose project expresses a unique personal perspective and an artistic approach to the subject. Priority will be given to writers whose previous short or feature screenplays have been produced as an independent film.
The grant is the second screenwriting initiative in the Film Society's growing Filmmaker Services program.
The Djerassi Residency Award/San Francisco Film Society Screenwriting Fellowship, a one month residency for an emerging or established screenwriter at the Djerassi Residents Artist Program, was announced earlier this month.
Other SFFS screenwriting initiatives in the early planning stages include a screenwriters' colony at SFFS FilmHouse, script readings with local actors and theater companies, script editing consultations and networking events to connect writers with producers.

I have got some amazing stuff on vinyl. Truly a format that refuses to die and why should it? Yeah MP3s may be easy but seriously, you can not beat the depth of sound or range that records can deliver
