Rosa Parks was one of a few brave women in days gone by who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white woman. It was the stand taken by Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955 that sparked the Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott. President Clinton presented Ms. Parks with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996. When she died in 2005, Rosa Parks became the first ever woman to have her body lie in honor in the US Capital Rotunda.

9. Start of a call for help : NINE
The first use of an emergency phone number nationally was in the UK in 1937, where the number 999 was introduced to call emergency services. If you need emergency services in the UK or Ireland to this day, you have to dial 999. It's not really clear why 911 became the emergency number in the US. The most credible suggestion (to me) is that when it was introduced by the FCC in 1967, it was a number that "fit" with the numbers already used by AT&T for free services (211-long distance; 411-information; 611-repair service).

She did return to the game two years later, but never achieved the same level of success.
27. ___ Valente (clothing line) : SERGIO
Sergio Valente is a clothing brand out of the Seattle area. Dear old Sergio is just a brand, and not a real person at all …
28. 1955 Belmont and Preakness winner that shared its name with a U.S. city : NASHUA
The racehorse known as Nashua retired after the 1956 season. At that point he was only the second horse to have earned more than $1 million (the first was Citation).
30. "Love Sneakin' Up on You" singer, 1994 : RAITT
Bonnie Raitt is a blues singer, originally from Burbank, California. She has won nine Grammies for her work, but she is perhaps as well known for her political activism as she is for her music. She was no fan of President George W. Bush, and she sure did show it.
32. How some calorie counters eventually want to look good : IN A BIKINI
The origin of the name "bikini", a type of bathing suit, seems very uncertain. My favorite story is that it is named after the Bikini Atoll, site of American A-bomb tests in the forties and fifties. The name "bikini" was chosen for the swim-wear because of the "explosive" effect it had on men who saw a woman wearing the garment!
39. Duds : TOGGERY
"Toggery" is another word for clothing, sometimes shorted to "togs". For example, back in Ireland we call a bathing suit "swimming togs". The term "toggery" comes from the Latin "toga".
"Duds" is an informal word for clothing, coming from the word "dudde" used around 1300 as the name for a cloak.
44. Hockey East town : ORONO
The town of Orono is home to the University of Maine, founded in 1862. The college is actually located on an island (Marsh island) lying between the Penobscot and Stillwater rivers. The town of Orono is named after Joseph Orono, a chief of the Penobscot Nation.
45. Venerated symbol : TOTEM
Totem is the name given to any entity that watches over a group of people. As such, totems are usually the subjects of worship. Totem poles are really misnamed, as they are not intended to represent figures to be worshiped, but rather are heraldic in nature often celebrating the legends or notable events in the history of a tribe.
50. Fashion designer Jacobs : MARC
Marc Jacobs is an American fashion designer from New York City with his own line of clothing. He is also the creative director for the French design house, Louis Vuitton.

By Marci Janas '91
The Oberlin Jazz Septet, an ensemble representing the most outstanding student performers, arrangers, and composers from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, is formed annually, its players selected by members of Oberlin's jazz studies faculty. Directed by Professor of Jazz Studies and Double Bass Peter Dominguez, the OJS has been featured at the Detroit, Elmhurst, and Notre Dame jazz festivals, at performance venues in Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Denver, and at Jazz Aspen Snowmass, as well as at many high schools and arts programs throughout the United States.
Allie Bosso (trombone), of Simsbury, Connecticut, is a senior jazz studies performance major, studying trombone with Robin Eubanks and improvisation with Connie Crothers. Ms. Basso's main musical influences include Billie Holiday, Slum Village, Lennie Tristano, and John Coltrane. She has performed at numerous venues including Lincoln Center, the Litchfield Jazz Festival, and the White House.
Johnny Butler (saxophone) is a senior majoring in jazz saxophone with Gary Bartz; he also studies classical composition with Randolph Coleman. Among his other noteworthy teachers are Mark Turner and Irv Kallenberger. Growing up in Seattle, Mr. Butler played with Trination, Pistol Star, and Bijou. His most notable musical influences in both playing and composition are John Coltrane, Mark Turner, and the now defunct Soundgarden.
Andrew Conklin (guitar), of Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, has been an active member of the Philadelphia music scene since 1996, when, at the age of 12, he formed the band Stratuss with Taylor Brown, Nathan Rouse, and Will Hayes. Mr. Conklin currently studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music with Bobby Ferrazza.
Theodore Croker (trumpet) was born in Leesburg, Florida where he started playing the trumpet at age 11. With the influence of his late grandfather, legendary trumpeter Doc Cheatham, Theodore's talent was recognized early, and he was featured as a special guest with trombonist Al Grey at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Mr. Croker has performed at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola and Cleopatra's Needle in New York City, at Snug Harbor, The Palm Court, and Cafe Brazil in New Orleans, and Murphy's, Nighttown, The Bop Stop, and Flow Cafe in Cleveland.

10 Vacation Bible School crafts ideas for a 10 Commandments VBS theme — Phew! That's a mouthful! 🙂 My title wouldn't even fit in my title space so I had to shorten it up a bit.
VBS—The Land of Milk & Honey
If you are interested in using a 10 Commandments VBS theme, you will want to be sure to take a look at my VBS—The Land of Milk & Honey Vacation Bible School curriculum. VBS—The Land of Milk & Honey actually comes with detailed instructions for plenty of Vacation Bible School crafts ideas to fill up 10 days of VBS for the children in all of the VBS age groups.
VBS—The Land of Milk & Honey includes a variety of Vacation Bible School crafts ideas, like:
- Sand Art Bottles,
- a special cracker recipe (courtesy of Restoration International, to use as you speak of Sabbath preparation),
- Marble Ten Commandments,
- Treasure Chest with Promise Cards,
- and (a sure favorite with the children) Rainbow Swirling Ribbon Bands.
Possible angles for 10 Commandments crafts
That being said, I know many VBS leaders enjoy tweaking the crafts portion of their VBS programs.
There are a few angles you can take in coming up with 10 Commandments Vacation Bible School crafts ideas:
- Crafts that implement a verse (or verses) from the 10 Commandments in their design
- Crafts that remind the children of the concept behind one of the 10 Commandments (or put that concept to use in the making and/or use of the craft)
- Crafts that represent a story that illustrates the practical application of one or more of the 10 Commandments
10 ideas from around the web
So whether you just like to kind of do your own thing, or you have certain crafts materials you are hoping to be able to use, or whatever your reason… here are 10 more Vacation Bible School crafts ideas for a 10 Commandments VBS theme from around the web.

(photo only; It is God's light shining through us that makes our characters beautiful!) → Pin this idea.

Hey Bastards.
Saw this trailer pop up online and thought you may dig it. I am five films deep into a Shaw Brothers marathon so I couldn't tell you what's doin' in the game. I do know however that there are some cool trailers dropping. This one for ST: INTO DARKNESS isn't a bad 30second spot. Have a look…
The skinny on the flick:
In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes "Star Trek Into Darkness."
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.
With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.
As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
