Sorry to deliver the bad news, but if you forget to pay your auto insurance, you really could be canceled. There is no grace period. Call your company or agent right away to make sure you're covered.
Here's a couple more common questions we get:
I was in an accident and the other insurance company won't pay my ongoing medical bills. What can I do?
Unfortunately, when you're dealing with someone else's insurance company, they usually will not pay your ongoing medical costs. Only when you're done with your treatments will they consider settling your claim. If you have personal injury protection (PIP), you should contact your own insurance company to let them know about the accident and your injuries.
I was in an accident and the other person's insurance company says I have to get my car repaired. Is that true?
The insurance company is obligated to pay you for the loss. You have the right to decide to cash out your claim rather than have your vehicle repaired. But keep in mind that if you cash out your claim, the company may not consider any additional damage that you discover later. Also, the company will only pay the very least it can to repair your vehicle. So, if you have three estimates they'll only pay for the lowest cost one. Most companies will base your settlement on their own inspection and estimate.

Clearly Kombucha Makes Kombucha Less Scary
Kombucha frightens some people. The floaty bits, the cloudiness, the vinegar-y funk. The fermented tea isn't for everyone. But when you start seeing it on tap at bars and for sale at just about every corner store, you know that some people are drinking it.
I'm into it, but pretty sure nobody else at SEHQ is. Or so they thought, until they tried Clearly Kombucha, a new brand on the 'bucha scene started by Caleb Cargle and Ali Zarrow. The two were searching for some non-alcoholic alternatives and found themselves bonding over kombucha. They wanted to create a version that'd appeal to a wider audience, so they dialed down the pungency of the original GT's brand and developed a line of kombucha that's closer to a fruity soda or tonic water.
Clearly Kombucha comes in five flavors: Original, Tangerine, Black Currant, Asian Pear, and Ginger Berry, each ranging from 5 to 40 calories.
Tangerine is citrus-y but not too sour, with a mild sweetness balanced by the natural tanginess of the kombucha. Black Currant was another favorite, but really, you could drink this and not even realize it was a kombucha. It's closer to a black currant soda, without being too syrupy-sweet like Ribena. Asian Pear was reminiscent of a pear cider (plus how often do you see Asian Pear-flavored anything?). Lastly, Ginger Berry is a popular flavor of the original GT's brand, but this one didn't do it for me. I wanted it to have a spicier ginger bite.
Overall, these are very drinkable and less funky (read: less bucha-y) than what you might expect. Maybe not quite bucha-y enough for the more hardcore set of fermentation fiends who look forward to the floaty, jellyfishy SCOBY bits.
Where can you find Clearly Kombucha? Check here; or order online. Note: they also have the best four-legged intern.

Paramount Pictures has moved Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" from an October release date to February, which takes it out of awards consideration for this year.
Studio chairman and chief executive officer Brad Grey said Friday that the scheduling shift from Oct. 2 to Feb. 19 was an economic decision.
"This is a situation facing every single studio as we all work through the financial pressures associated with the broader downturn," he said.
The anticipated thriller marks the latest pairing of Scorsese and star Leonardo DiCaprio, following "Gangs of New York" (2002), "The Aviator" (2004) and "The Departed" (2006), which won the Academy Award for best picture and earned Scorsese his first directing Oscar. It also stars Ben Kingsley, Patricia Clarkson, Jackie Earle Haley and Michelle Williams.
Based on a novel by "Mystic River" author Dennis Lehane, "Shutter Island" follows the investigation into the disappearance of a murderess from a mental institution. DiCaprio plays a U.S. Marshal in 1954 Boston looking for the woman, who is presumed to have escaped to the remote Shutter Island. His involvement in the case starts to make him question his own sanity.
Grey said the original decision to release the film as part of Paramount's 2009 slate was made during "a very different economic climate" and as a result the company must "adapt to a changing environment." Paramount is a division of Viacom Inc.
"Leonardo DiCaprio is among the most talented actors working today and Martin Scorsese is not just one of the world's most significant filmmakers, but also a personal friend," Grey added in his statement. "Following a highly successful 2009, we have every confidence that 'Shutter Island' is a great anchor to lead off our 2010 slate and the shift in date is the best decision for the film, the studio and ultimately Viacom."

Hermann Kesten
I have always loved this quote as it rings so true, especially in France. Hermann Kesten was referring to the many German and Austrian writers, artists, intellectuals, political opponents, etc. Who with the rise of Hitler in the early thirties, left Germany and settled in France.
When France declared war on Germany in September 1939 German exiles were considered enemy aliens and interned in hastily constructed camps and prisons whilst they waited to have their cases heard and hopefully be released, this process took some time, if it happened at all. In the meantime they lived in appalling conditions with disease running rife, a few of them did manage to escape. By June 1940 the Nazis had marched into France and occupied Paris. An armistice was signed and France was divided into two, German occupied France and Vichy France under the rule of the elderly Marchal Petain. The truth is both were very dangerous places to be and many French found themselves exiles in their own country.
Hitler put pressure on the Vichy government to round up all the German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian exiles, these people were now in grave danger, if they fell into the hands of the Gestapo they were imprisoned, sent to concentration camps or murdered by firing squads. Now thousands of French nationals also found themselves in danger, French artists, poets, writers and intellectuals were at particular risk, many of them were no longer in possession of the correct identity papers, trying to obtain the correct papers could result in arrest, they were aware they were on Hitler's list, many of them headed South to Marseilles where they shrank into the shadows, stayed in shabby back street hotels and met up with each other at the cafés, always looking over their shoulders. They were now people without a state or a homeland, they had become in effect refugees. They needed a way out.
Andre Breton and Jacqueline Lamba fooling around at the Villa Air-Bel, just outside Marseilles. Breton was convinced that all the surrealists must defy the spirit of Fascism "by singing and laughing with the greatest joy"

Mounting instructions
The seals should be mounted concentric and perpendicular to the shaft. A suitable mounting tool (fig 1) should be used to prevent the seal from skewing. The outside diameter of G design seals should be lightly oiled to ease installation. If the shaft ends are not chamfered or rounded, a mounting sleeve should be used to prevent damage to the seal lip.

Jessica Ennis-Hill
- Full name Jessica Ennis-Hill
- Also known as Jessica Ennis
- Birth date January 28, 1986
- Birth place Sheffield
- Current age 34 years 123 days
- Height 5 ft 4 in
On August 4, 2012, Jessica Ennis lived up to her billing as the golden girl of London 2012, as she broke her own British record to be crowned Olympic champion.
A Sheffield girl born and bred, Ennis started athletics at 13, and her talent was quickly recognised. She made her international debut in the 2003 World Youth Championships, and two years later won gold at the European Junior Championships in Lithuania.
Ennis made her senior debut in 2006, aged 20. She immediately made an impact, winning bronze medal at her first major championships, at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne behind team-mate Kelly Sotherton who won gold. Her score of 1.91m in the high jump would have been enough to win a gold medal in the individual event. At the European Championships in Gothenburg later that year, Ennis could only manage eighth, but set a new personal best of 6,287.
By 2007, just her second season on the circuit, Ennis was ranked fourth behind Carolina Klüft, Lyudmyla Blonska and compatriot Kelly Sotherton. At the World Championships in Osaka, she finished fourth, winning all three track events. An impressive second season she was awarded the inaugural European Athletics Rising Star Award.
By 2008, Ennis was on track for her first Olympics, but in June 2008 she suffered heartbreak when it was announced she had suffered a stress fracture in her ankle and would be unable to compete in Beijing.
After a year out with injury, she returned in 2009 with a bang, and stormed back with a number of impressive victories to put her at the top of the world rankings. She was the favourite going into the world championships in Berlin and she didn't disappoint. She stormed to a 307 point lead on the first day, and after letting her lead slip to 171 points after the long jump and javelin events, she stormed clear of the field in the 800m to win her heat and take the event with a new personal best of 6731 points.
She was awarded sportswoman of the year by the Sports Journalists' Association but missed out on BBC Sports Personality of the Year to Ryan Giggs.
She carried on where she left off in 2010, winning gold in the pentathlon at the world indoor title before adding the European heptathlon title to her growing medal collection. However, she suffered a knock in confidence when she lost her world title to Russia's Tatyana Chernova in 2011.
The poster girl of London 2012, Ennis was under huge pressure heading into the Olympics, but she looked to be in good form as she broke Lewis' national record in the run-up to the Games. In front of 80,000 fans she fulfilled her dream of becoming Olympic champion in style, breaking her own British record.
Career high
Ennis lived up to her status as the golden girl of London 2012, setting three personal bests en route to winning Olympic gold in front of her home crowd. She beat nearest rival Lilli Schwarzkopf by over 300 points as she broke her own British record - falling just 45 points short of the magic 7000-point barrier.
Career low
Ennis' Olympic dreams were shattered when she suffered a stress fracture in her right ankle, ruling her out of the Olympics. The injury kept her out of competition for a year, and she admitted at one stage she didn't know if she would be able to make a comeback.
'We need someone in the sport, we need a story, someone who the British public know so when you say "Jess" they know exactly who she is, what event, you don't have to explain it, she is recognised by what she's done." Former Olympic heptathlon champion and British record holder Denise Lewis
"It's been the longest two days of my life but the best. I can't believe it. I'm the world champion, I feel like crying. I've dreamt so many times about winning medals and becoming world champion, doing a lap of honour. It's the best feeling in the world. I can't even put into words how I feel right now, it's such an adrenaline rush and such an amazing feeling." On becoming world champion
At just 5'4", Ennis is one of the smallest competitors on the heptathlon circuit. Her GB team-mate and rival Kelly Sotherton has nicknamed her "Tadpole".

New Adam Sandler movie "That's My Boy" glorifies outdated views on healthy sexuality
Sony Pictures released "That's My Boy," a movie that glorifies statutory rape between a teacher and her 13 year old student.
Numerous media outlets are reporting that Adam Sandler's new movie "That's My Boy" makes light of statutory rape in its depiction of a thirteen-year old boy's sexual relationship with his teacher at school. That relationship results in the teacher's pregnancy, a jail sentence, and Sandler's character being forced to raise the child himself. When the child turns eighteen, he leaves home and does not interact with his father again until the eve of his wedding, when the Sandler character shows up at his home in need of money.
Some will argue in defense of this movie by stating that the story ultimately focuses on the characters' reconciliation and that since the movie is a comedy, advocates such as organizations like Prevent Child Abuse America, Darkness to Light and Stop It Now! are taking the story line too seriously. We would suggest that these arguments are specious at best. They do not excuse the movie's outdated views on child sexuality, and the sexuality of boys specifically, much less the long term impact of sexual abuse on children. Nor do these arguments ameliorate the fact that the corporate culture of Columbia Pictures and Happy Madison Productions is one that embraces child rape as a means for making a profit.
"It goes without saying," stated Jim Hmurovich, President & CEO, Prevent Child Abuse America, "that Adam Sandler and Columbia Pictures would never have made a similar movie about a thirteen-year old girl and a teacher of hers, so how is it that in 2012 they still find it acceptable to make such a movie about a character who is a boy? This is a movie about rape, plain and simple, and while we could have an endless dialogue about how is this is a comedy, or a story that highlights the resilience of children, I call upon the viewing public to express their strong disapproval. Along with my colleagues from Darkness to Light and Stop It Now! we have sent the producers of the film an offer to discuss how misguided this attempt at humor is, and what message can be salvaged from this screenplay. All of us regardless of what we do in our lives have a responsibility to the children and families in this country. I suggest we figure out together how they can fulfill that responsibility in a way that supports the healthy child development of all children."

As you know, for victims of sexual abuse, this issue is no laughing matter. Sony Pictures should stand with victims, not unite against them. At a time when child sexual abuse is finally getting the attention it deserves, Sony Pictures wants to take a huge step back by endorsing statutory rape.

This is a Chrome & Bakalite Coffee Set w/ Tray with an Art Deco influence.
Has a very space age/rocket design. Wonderful angular lines.
Found it at an antique street sale last Summer in Oregon City, Oregon.
I've found chrome is hard to photgraph, but hope you can see the details that make this set so eye-catching.
Chrome is in very nice condition but the overall condition is not perfect, there is one of the 'bun' feet on the tray that is missing and the spout handle is broken.
We usually don't buy when there are condition problems like this, but we made an exception this time because we felt the design of this set was so stunning...and the price was so reasonable!

Kong Rithdee, film festival explorer and English-language film critic, is a vital character in the Thai film scene. Blending the readability of well-written journalism with sharp critical insight, he is a rarity among commentators in the Southeast Asian region, possessing a combination of intelligence and influence, flair and fearlnessnes, rarely seen in a single film writer. In the second of three insightful interviews with persons of import in the contemporary Thai cinema, Thunska talks to Kong about becoming a film critic, the Thai film scene, and why he writes about films that Thais may not have seen.
Thunska Pansittivorakul: How did you begin working as a film critic?
Kong Rithdee: I graduated from Marketing at ABAC [Assumption University of Thailand]. I had no previous knowledge of films, but I was interested in them and I read many books, watched many films. After graduation, I worked at the newspaper Khookhaeng (Competitor) for a year—translating international news. After that I came to work at The Bangkok Post where I have been working for almost ten years now. I write documentaries, write about the arts, culture, interview people, and cover tourism stories. When the person who wrote about films left, I asked to do that instead, and so I've been doing it continuously since 1998 in Real Time and Outlook. Lately there's been more to write about films in Thailand, so I've been writing more. I wrote for Sawasdee an in-flight magazine, Cineaste, Cinemaya, and some film festivals such as Pusan. Four years ago, Chuck Stevens contacted me to write for Film Comment. I wrote about how at that time everyone was very excited that the film industry was going great, but I was skeptical. You have to look [at things] in the long run; don't be so happy before it happens, because in the end, the Thai film industry was not as successful as expected.
TP: What made you think like that at that time, and do you still think that way [now]?
KR: At that time the film business was a soap bubble industry. There were very few quality films. Perhaps the Asian cinema wave was strong and so Thai films were closely observed. But now the view is more concrete, that there is hope, but not for Thai films. There are some Thai film directors we can [build our] hopes on, but probably not to storm the box office like Korean cinema.
TP: Why?
KR: The quality of Korean films is much better. The market in Thailand has a large audience of around 8-10 million [people] and so it can stand on its own. Many skillful directors have developed [over the years]. The systems that support the training of new people to take their places are much clearer. But Thai cinema is still too ordinary. The domestic market is not strong yet. If the domestic market is good, then there is less to worry [about], because we merely [need] domestic sales to ensure survival. However, the domestic market is not surviving, and hoping to reach the international market is no guarantee of success.
TP: How would you explain the rapid success of Korean cinema, even though we have only known Korean cinema for a few years?
KR: It's about culture. Koreans like to watch films. Politics as well—they were also under a military government. Breeding of thought came about as a reactionary product of the suppression of intellectual freedom by the military government. With the end of the military government, the social environment loosened up, everything was fresh, blooming, and [Korean cinema] shot up like that.
TP: If Thailand were to follow what Korea did, what do you think should we do?
KR: In Korea, the [coordination of the film industry] mostly comes from the government. I'm not saying that the filmmakers in Thailand are incapable, but the Koreans have systematic plans. They have clear policies for the film industry. We have to stop thinking that films are a business that the industry can take care of by itself. [Films] are the most important way for a society to show itself because they are a cultural form consumed by most people. Films influence how people think and feel. Not that the government should take control, but rather [it should] help as much as it can. If the government doesn't help then it won't go anywhere, but we also have no idea whether it will go anywhere if the government does indeed help.
TP: When did you begin attending foreign film festivals, and why do you think you had to go?
KR: About three years ago. What is the point of just writing about the movies that you can watch in the cinemas, and that every other publication writes about? Some people ask why I bother writing about films in the film festivals when these films are not even screened in Thailand, but that is exactly the point. [It's about] opening the world so that we know what others watch and think, what the pulse of global cinema is like, and how Thai films can join in that pulse. When we want to compete with them—and this is competition on a global scale —we have to see what their competitions are like. I hope my writing helps in terms of knowledge. I go with what I'm interested in. The first time I went to Deauville—I was invited. And then it was Berlin. After that I went myself - Rotterdam, Venice, Cannes. I met people, exchanged perspectives. Sometimes I would get in-depth information, and this is the important thing that makes [these festivals] a must-go.
TP: What do you think of the atmosphere of each of the film festivals?
KR: Cannes is like a circus—everyone wants to go. There's something for everyone—it depends on which viewpoint you choose to see it from. The fact that Cannes is a big event, [that it's] conceited, and that the big celebrities are begged to attend, makes it a must-go. The queues to watch the films are hours long. It's interesting to see how these standards are created so that so many people flock to attend. The advantage is that Cannes only chooses to screen premieres. It is a constant search for new things, while at the same time they choose films that will be popular, and [it all] comes out to be a well-balanced mix. There's courage to try to find new things, such as Apichatpong's film—a very courageous move. A film from Thailand, filmed in the jungle, not made by a high investment company, yet it was successful. It wasn't successful because of foreign support, but it [gave Thai films] a wider reach and was able to bring fame to the country. Cannes is unlike Berlin, which has many political aspects because it is a country with intense political history. Recently, the films chosen by Cannes are stronger, whereas [the films chosen by] Berlin are not so glamorous. Many of the films bloomed in Cannes, so it seems that Berlin has dropped [a notch] lower. Berlin may have to be braver. Venice just wants everything, and has focused on Hollywood [films] lately. Many stars attend, and every year something will stand out such as Brokeback Mountain, which was refused by Cannes but became famous in Venice. I view this as competition between film festivals, which is always enjoyable. I've been to Rotterdam twice. It's cool. It's easygoing, fun to watch, no pressure, and the people who go are young men and women. There's life, [it's] borderless, and the films are truly screened for the purpose of cultural exchange. Cannes looks rather vain, or only business people attend, because Cannes is a big market, but Rotterdam's size is just right. The programmer is very sharp, likes a wide variety of movies, is a forward-thinker, and likes to try new things. Cannes has differences in each of the categories, but Rotterdam will highlight each category equally. It is possibly [because of] the appropriate size of the film festival, so there is a greater chance of success for the films. New people are also supported, whilst other places are not courageous enough to do so.
TP: What do you think of the film festivals in Thailand?
KR: Let's put it this way. If a rich person were to organize an extravagant film festival, no matter how good or bad it is, no one would say anything. But if it's a film festival organized with taxpayers' money, it should be advantageous to the people in that country as well. The situation now is that there's no effect on the industry, and it doesn't increase people's interest towards Thai films. Go ahead, organize it, but the way it is organized should be controlled. Don't overspend—we should know our position. For example, should we stand out in Southeast Asia first? Compared to the other countries in this region, we definitely stand out more than the Philippines or Malaysia. We need to look [at things] in the long-run, create a better film-watching culture, make it more easy-going than it is, such as having Thai subtitles so that those who are not very good in English can watch as well. We should also organize activities that have concrete returns for the Thai film industry. Korea has the PPP (Pusan Promotion Plan) which provides funding for skillful directors in Asia, and each year, at least one Korean will be included. This is a way of promoting films from their own country. A tremendous amount of money comes into [France] from Cannes every year because everyone wants to go there. In Thailand, the investments are high, but the long-term returns are not worth it. If one day we did not have the money to invite people in, would anyone want to attend? Why is it that Pusan and Hong Kong do not need to pay to invite people, and yet they [people] want to attend? This is an issue that should be assessed.
TP: What do you think is the link between films and society?
KR: They are definitely related. Look back at PM [Prime Minister] Chuan's era. Ten Thai films were produced annually. The economy was not thriving, but there was some form of stability. During the time of the military government, the films of Mitr Chaibancha were entirely for entertainment purposes. There was no serious content at all, because society was not relaxed. However, the state of our society today is extravagant, spending huge amounts of money, so today's films invest many tens of millions of baht with heavy spending on advertising. The films are crap, but they are advertised well anyway. If the country is managed with superficiality, it's no wonder that the films produced are also superficial. The positive aspect of commercial films turning out like this is that as a reaction, independent films also improve. You'll notice that Apichatpong's films received awards over the past 3-4 years. When there are a large number of mainstream films whose quality is declining, the independent films improve in quality [because they are sustained by] the energy to go against the mainstream.

That dullness you're experiencing—that listless and rudderless feeling at the start of Summer Quarter—has an easy diagnosis: thesis withdrawal.
Lucky for you there's an easy remedy coming up at 10 a.m. this Monday, July 1, when Katrina Mendrey will be defending her Master's Thesis in Anderson 22!
"Metal Response of Douglas-fir: A Comparison of Metal Uptake and Phytochelatin Production in Trees Planted in Soil Amended with Biosolids or Metal Salts"
Mendrey's research explores the relationship between metal uptake in needles of Douglas-fir trees and phytochelatin production to determine if phytochelatin measures are an accurate indicator of metal stress in forest ecosystems. In addition, metal response in trees planted with similar concentrations of metals in the form of biosolids or metal salts are also compared.
If you're around campus, join us in Anderson 22 at 10 a.m.!

Christ Is Risen!

I am reading some chapters of Fr. Meyendorff's "Imperial Unity and Christian Divisions". In the chapters dealing with the Chalcedonian controversies he consistently applies the term Monophysite to the Council's opposers. Yet, on OO forums they consistently reject this term and call themselves miaphysites. Fr. Meyendorff I thought was always ecumenically sensitive so I was curious whether this was formerly an accepted term that the OO have only recently begun to object to? In Christ,Rd. David
And Fr. Meyendorff doesn't seem to be using the term derogotarily
Yet, on OO forums they consistently reject this term and call themselves miaphysites. Fr. Meyendorff I thought was always ecumenically sensitive so I was curious whether this was formerly an accepted term that the OO have only recently begun to object to?
It was copyrighted in 1989. And Fr. Meyendorff doesn't seem to be using the term derogotarily.....
A further question on this topic would be: can anyone recommend a fair, balanced discussion of the differences between the EO and OO Christologies?
He can use Non-Chalcedonians.
I am beggining to have very strong objections to this label also, and am hoping to diffuse this sentiment into the mindset of our OO brothers and sisters. Why should the identity of our Church be based on our relationship to a council we do not even accept, and that has nothing to do with our faith? Let us be called OO, or Ephesians, or Miaphysites, or Cyrillians; let us be called the Church of the Three Ecumenical Councils...anything but the monophysite misnomer, or the condescending non-Chalcedonian title.
you wouldn't necessarily call us "Chalcedonian" insofar as you don't accept Chalcedon as a counsel, and thus it is not in your frame of reference.
Did Fr. John Meyendorff use it for the actual heretics like Eutyches or Isaac, or did he also give this term to St. Dioscorus or St. Severus?  Did he mention other comments about our own OO fathers?
Does this sound accurate?
the initial apologists of the OO position read, thought and spoke in Greek and were deeply loyal to the Empire
I only suggested "Anti-Dioscoran" as an example of how one would adopt the aforementioned model (i.e. referring to the other church respectfully in the context of one's own) as an OO
I generally do not find it appropriate to attach a certain orthodox theology/Christology/Soteriology to a person as if it is the fruits of his own findings, or an ideology.
As I explained above, this will imply that the reason of division is rather dispute over persons and their actions and not the faith explained by those individuals.
Orthodoxy is also practiced in worship and celebrated in a life, so the stature of a saint among theologians would be of lesser effect.
I , personally, believe that rejecting heresy is as orthodox as confirming the Orthodox faith, for they are two faces of the same coin.
from the use of the word "Church" in capital. I apologize for being picky and annoying, but I do not find a way around confessing the belief in a branch theory
and to some extent council 6
Seeing as his ex-communication was not related to matters of faith, I think that technically speaking, we can at least say that the division was essentially a dispute over the personal actions of St. Dioscoros, which provoked and accentuated disputes regarding matters of the faith which subsequently followed.
In any event, even disregarding what I have just said, we must note the subtle distinction between anti-Dioscorian and anti-Dioscoros; the prefix of the latter is qualified by a noun (i.e. the name of St. Dioscoros), and hence would certainly imply a dispute over the person of St. Dioscoros, whilst the prefix of the former is qualified by an adjective which more clearly implies a dispute over matters that are essentially related to the person of St. Dioscoros e.g. his faith.
When people hear about the OO Church, I would rather them think of us as the Church that has maintained the faith of the Three Ecumenical Councils, rather than the Church that rejected a Council that has nothing to do with our faith.
Generally I use the word Church with a capital C simply to imply the fact that I am referring to the entire Communion, as opposed to a mere local church. Thus I would distinguish the OO Church from the Coptic church, or the EO Church from the Greek church. There are no implications whatsoever concerning each Communion's/Church's relationship to The One Church, and hence I am not hinting at ecclesiological theories whatsoever.
I think we can declare council 6 to be safe, especially when one considers the council within the context of Maximus' writings, which I believe provide a sophisticated orthodox treatment of the issue of Christ's wills that is comparable to that of St Severos. I think the fact it proceeds rather than precedes Constantinople 533 is another factor that can re-assure us of its orthodoxy in substance and faith

Babe of the Month, July 2014 - Kelly Czupkiewicz
Are you BOTM material?
Kelly Czupkiewicz feels she deserves to be BOTM. Frankly, we can't argue with her since this '14 Mustang V-6 Premium convertible is her third Mustang. What's more, she special-ordered the car herself, saving up 10 years in order to make it happen.
"I was extremely specific about what I wanted," Kelly says. Since she lives in Jersey, she chose a V-6 model, but it had to be a manual. "It was really amazing to actually be able to order the car to my exact specifications, and while the two-month wait was a killer ... I was like a kid on Christmas when I went to pick this thing up," she adds.
Kelly just got the car in December 2013, so as we type this she's waiting on the nice weather in order to properly hit the streets in top down-fashion. As such, Kelly hasn't had a chance to modify her 'vert as of yet, but we're sure the Ingot Silver example will see some love soon.
"I'm considering some tinkering, which is why I recently subscribed to your mag," Kelly says. Flattery will get you everywhere, including in BOTM. By the way, Kelly is a librarian, which keeps her busy when not washing or waxing her Mustang. She's also a professional photographer, but her friend Matt Tucker took these shots. Kelly shoots weddings, family portraits, and of course, her Mustang.
This is the point where you can stop reading, unless your a potential BOTM or know someone who should be. Send pictures and descriptions of your babe and the car to: BOTM, 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619, or email them to email@example.com.

Possibilities. I love that word. Lately, I've had a strong feeling that some very real possibilities are getting ready to open up for me very soon and that is most exciting…most exciting indeed. The possibilities seem endless. How awesome is that?
I've been keeping my eyes open for whatever it is that God has planned for me. It's kind of like waiting for a present. I feel like a little kid waiting for her Daddy to give her a present. You know how it is I'm sure.
Remember when your Daddy would come home from a trip or from being gone for a while and scoop you up into his arms and tell you how much he loved you and you felt like the whole world was smiling? Then would come the consummate question…"what'd you bring me, Daddy?"…and he would smile and out would come the presents!
Possibilities. What are you bringing me, Abba?

Carhenge, the tongue-in-cheek tribute to Stonehenge assembled from old cars, is now for sale. For a mere three hundred thousand dollars you can take ownership of this popular (number two wackiest tourist attraction in America!) piece of postmodern art located near Alliance in western Nebraska.
The current owners, the Friends of Carhenge, are looking for a buyer able and willing to improve on its standalone status - the sculpture is currently kept company only by a small gift shop, but the Friends have visions of turning the area into a more accommodating (and profitable) destination.
Serious auto enthusiasm can sometimes start to feel like a religious mission, complete with pilgrimages. For those who want to go even further in their devotions, perhaps being the founder of the Vatican City for the Church of Oppo, the chance of a lifetime awaits.

The Lady Bisons are 18-1 and have won their last 16 games. Tennessee Tech, an Ohio Valley Conference team, is 8-9.
"The first game I thought we came out and attacked the ball well," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "I thought we put some good hits together."
Right-hander Whitney Kiihnl pitched game one and recorded her fourth shutout. She is 12-0 overall. Kiihnl allowed one hit, walked two and struck out nine.
It was the 11th shutout for the Lady Bisons. They set a new school program record last season with 17.
"Tennessee Tech has been a little bit streaky this season," Ryman said. "They are traditionally in an NCAA regional or in the position to have a good shot to be in a regional. They have all the tools to put it together at the right moment."
The Lady Bisons jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. They added two more in the seventh on two-run homer to left field by second baseman Abby Keese.
Keese and shortstop Courtney Billington each had two hits. Billington hit a double.
In game two, Christen Campbell opened on the mound for the Lady Bisons. She pitched five innings, scattering four hits and allowing one run. She walked one and struck out three. She is 4-0 for the season.
Kiihnl threw the final two innings. She struck out four and walked one. She did not give up a hit on the way to the save.
"The second game was probably one of our weaker games this year," Ryman said. "Our pitching was very strong. Christen Campbell gave us five good innings. And Whitney came in and closed it out."
Again the Lady Bisons struck first, this time with one run in the first inning. They added one more in the third.
"We scored in the first inning without a hit," Ryman said. "Lauren Dortwegt reached on an error. The ball was dropped and she was safe a first. She went all the way to third on a bunt by Courtney Billington who was out on the play. Then Lauren scored on a sacrifice fly by Kellie."
The Lady Bisons had three hits, all singles.
"The approach of our hitters was not there as well in the second game," Ryman said. "It is definitely unusual for us to get only three hits and pull out a win.
"We did enough good things to overcome a lack of hitting and our defense which was not that great. We are proud that we can find little things to help us pull out a win."
Thursday afternoon the Lady Bisons are back home for a doubleheader rematch with Evansville. The Lady Bisons closed out the Lady Bisons Classic Sunday with an 8-0 win over the Lady Aces.
The first game begins at 3.
