To her, running with the number 666 on her chest would have signified a serious breach in her faith."I didn't want to risk my relationship with God and try to take that number," Thacker told LEX18. "I told them to mark out my name because it makes me sick just thinking that my name is associated with that number."
About as stupid as it comes. She deserves not to go to state if she is that stupid. If I were her coach I'd kick her off the team for good.

YOU!!!! want a relationship... not me, so why am i the person that's always hurt at the end.... we barely even know each other.....
So tired of my life right now....
(i'm not angry, i'm tired of my daily moody swings because of my situation)
That is actually one of my biggest gripes anymore. Not specifically relationship related, I mean anyone. Especially when their answer a few days later is something lame like.. Sorry, I was busy.
Busy my ass. You could have just said you were busy at some point in the day. Or you could have messaged me the next day. Instead you ignore me until I bring it up. It is even better when I ask you something important, you ignore it, and then I see you the next day at work.
Upload me into your brain.
People who say Kawaii, desu in a Asian supermarket.
That grinds my gears
People who use the word love in every fucking situations. The word gets spoiled and it's origin are being forgotten. Why I thank you this mad world when it is this mad at times... At times like this I don't want to hear about money, news, people opinions or anything like that. It's gross when youtube ads suddenly pops up. It's gross when I hold paper of bills and taxes. Where goes my hate? I freak out on plastic and metal. Food that are wrapped in a bad way so metal bits and plastic bits get stucked in the food or other such things. A typical sign that I hate fake things. No one is working with enthusiasm anymore. Just working and waiting until the work hours is done. Just to wait the whole friggin day to get home and increase their wallets. Sorry about this rant. Needed this out of my chest. Tomorrow never dies I suppose...

Well at the moment what gets on my nerves is when people constantly ask questions like: whats death?, Is there a heaven and hell?, whats evolution?, is there a god? These Question drive me so crazy because I actually to just be honest have alot I want to say to questions like that lol, but theres no true answer except what you believe. If I answer it than someone will be against it and explain their ways and theres no stop to it. So its best to believe what you want the way you want it or the way your taught. if you want more then seek it in a different way.
Thank you for that
OKay Okay I have one more rant for the time being. I hate it when I click on an interesting forum topic and Im all like "Oh man cool Im gonna answer this for fun" and then it says at the bottom, " YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF THIS GROUP",
WTF lmao Really!?!

That is a good thing. Believe what you want to believe not what others wants you to believe. Those questions really don't need answers I agree. I do what I feel is right and when I do I am more happy with myself. The art of living in the moment... If I could be better in it instead of grieving over the past and worry too much about the future. I would have a much better life. I bet many would... By saying that I see myself never being happy with things. It is a problem. When I solve one problem I always gotta solve the new ones coming up. Typical me. I wish I could be more happy with things. Hope I can be sometime...

Caught a cold because my stupid teachers forced us to spend the whole school day outside in the rain.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.

Instead of naming mine, which has blunt not-holding-back saying-it-like-it-is opinions that'll end up putting me in flame wars, I'll just respond to these that interested me.
1) And guess what? They're (here in america that is) now running our school system, our government, telling us what we can and can't eat, what car we can't drive, or hell...telling us that we're somehow irrelevant for not watching certain shows or movies!
2) Would love to know what kind.
3) I see it all the time, especially in winter and mostly among girls. It's just so funny hearing them complaining that it's too cold, yet they were THIS STUPID to go out and try to get as many guy eyes on them as possible.
4) Faceless cowards is what I call them. When they troll on the internet, you'll know what they are in real life.
5) That's sad. It really is. I seem to have an issue pretty close to yours, only in my case it's more racial. Her mom and dad and brother like me though, and now her uncle and grandmother wants to meet me. The rest of her family from what she's told me wouldn't be okay with it from a racial standpoint. My family would be the exact same way with her.
Anyway, I'm not gonna ask what religion you both are in because that subject is a weak one for "The Independent Human". For now my suggestion would be to convince both sides how much you and your b/f love each other. The moments you both have together. Things like that. It shouldn't matter if you both are into a different religion. Look the only thing I can say on that is that they both lead to a higher power. That's what matters most to the both of you right? Don't worry about what both your and his family thinks of you two, because in the end, it's not them that decides the relationship.....IT'S YOU TWO.
2. Just those who decide they're always smarter than the person they're talking to, even when they know they're wrong and the other person is right. Since I'm a teenager, I have this problem with adults a lot. When I know I'm right, I'm right. People are people. You can be incorrect and be older. One of my biggest pet peeves is lying. I just can't stand it. So if I correct someone, and they are stubbornly telling me that they are right, it irks me because they're lying. I guess you could say I'm stubborn too. But in a good way.
5. And yeah... long story short, we have been best friends since pre-school. I guess our families just thought "oh they're just kids and they'll only be friends- it would be crazy for them to even think to be together when they're older". Yet his mom uses to tease me all the time "He always thinks about you and always asks when he'll come visit you again." His mom likes me. His dad is very controlling though. I knew he had a crush on me since around the time I was 10. Me, likewise. But I've had a crush on him for 7 years. It won't go away. And I haven't had a legit conversation with him in 2 years because my parents had a fight with his parents (ex family friends now; that's how I met him at such a young age), and nope. Mine and his parents are VERY old-fashioned. So I guess when I'm finally an adult and he is too (he's one year younger than me actually), I'll see if it goes somewhere. Thanks for your support
School is holding me hostage. HALP

Here is an interview with Erin Dudgeon who is a a history major at the University of Mississippi (better known as Ole Miss). Like many Ulster folk in the Diaspora, Erin is learning Irish now. She is doing so for dual reasons; she is studying Irish history and folklore and knows the language is very necessary for this, but she is also learning the language to enrich her links to the land of her ancestors.
The Dudgeon family lived in southwest County Donegal and like many Donegal families are now found in many corners of the world. Her maternal line includes the great family of Ó Neill.
(UH Magazine) Where did your family live in Ulster and could you tell us what you know about them?
My father's family came to America from Ballyshannon, County Donegal in 1801. Thomas Dudgeon brought his family from Ireland to settle in Sydney New York. Shortly thereafter, Thomas' son, Simon, of whom I am a descendant, set out for the plush farmland of the Ohio valley and settled in Knox County, Ohio. His descendants lived there until my father's generation. The log cabin Simon Dudgeon built was still standing until the 1980's. My grandfather, Guy Dudgeon, worked for the local railroad and maintained a small farm that was the primary source of food for his family.
Thomas Dudgeon's marriage was recorded at the Diocese of Cogher and there are records of his membership at the Church of Ireland in Ballyshannon.
My mother's family also came from Ulster. My great-great grandfather, Hugh Ó Neal, came to America with his brothers around the 1840's. He also settled in Knox County, Ohio. His daughter Edith Ó Neal LaFever was my great grandmother and it was she who named me, Erin, after the island of her father's birth. She was raised Catholic but became a Huguenot after marrying a Frenchman, Calvin LaFever. Edith LaFever died when I was a young girl, but it was through her traditional Irish story telling that I developed my love of Celtic folklore. When I was young, I could often be found sitting under our apple tree, sketching pictures of castles, and dreaming of a handsome warrior prince that would carry me away.
UH Magazine: What is your main motivation in learning Irish?
My main motivation in learning Irish was originally simple curiosity. Since then I've come up with some reasons to justify that curiosity. Firstly, I feel it is a way for me to explore my Irish heritage. Secondly, it is academically useful. I'm a history major at the University of Mississippi and I intend to get a PhD with an emphasis in Celtic history and mythology. A sound understanding of Celtic languages seems pertinent.
I recently came across Des Bishop's 'In the Name of the Fada' comedy series and was both entertained and inspired by his adventures in Irish Gaeilge learning.
How long have you been learning Irish now?
I've been studying Irish for approximately two years now. But it is only almost a year since I found a teacher, Barra McCain, on the Daltaí na Gaeilge website (www.daltai.com). I think, I've made more progress in Irish in the one year I've studied with a mentor than I would have made in five years on my own.
UH Magazine: What study course are you using?
On Barra's recommendation, we began working through the Tús Maith course by Risteard MacGabhan. I've also worked in Irish on Your Own by Ó Donaill and Ní Churraighin. Both are very good courses focusing on the Donegal dialect. Learning Irish by Míchéal Ó Siadhail is another great resource focusing on the Connemara dialect. Of course, dictionaries are an absolute necessity for students of Gaeilge. I use Donaill's Focláir Gaeilge-Bearla and De Bhadraithe's English-Irish Dictionary at home and Foclóir Scoile for a more portable dictionary. Recently I discovered Leabhar Laghdaithe Bhriathra na Gaeilge which is a wonderful book of conjugated Irish verbs. I've also collected a variety of children's books to practice my reading skills. I purchased all of these books online through the Irish bookstore, Litríocht (www.Litriocht.com). They have an excellent selection and very reasonable prices.
UH Magazine: What are some of the aspects of learning Irish you find most interesting?
While I was visiting Ireland in Spring of 2009, I spoke with a young man who was raised in the Gaeltacht. I had only just begun to study Irish at that time. When he spoke to me in Gaeilge, I didn't understand him and I asked him to spell his words for me. He laughed and said "Ah lass, you don't spell Irish , you say it." Now that I have studied Irish a while longer, I understand what he meant. I'm continually amazed at how beginnings and endings of sentences in Irish are often dropped and the words in between are fused together, turning a five word sentence into a single three syllable word. I know this happens in English too, but I was raised in a part of the US where English is spoken very much as it is written, so this has been something of a learning curve for me.
UH Magazine: Will you be visiting the Gaeltacht in Ulster in the future? What are your plans for your Irish? Is your goal fluency?
I'm planning to spend the Spring semester of 2011 studying at the University of Ulster. While I'm there I hope to make several trips to the Ulster gaeltachtaí. I do hope to become fluent in Irish. I want to be able to read, write and speak in Irish. I have a cousin who lived in France for many years and speaks French fluently. She told me, you know you have truly mastered a language when you start dreaming in that language. Well, I did have a dream in which I was trying, unsuccessfully, to translate terms from my biology class into Irish, but I don't think that counts. I'm a long way from fluency.
UH Magazine: Could you address the readers in Irish, tell them a little about yourself and your interest in Irish?

Catching up with the dead tree version of yesterday's Wall Street Journal, I found one of the best interviews I've read in the Journal in quite a while. Journal staff reporter Steven Gray interviewed Burger King chief executive officer and turnaround artist Greg Brenneman regarding the progress he has made in improving the company's performance over the past year. Brenneman is a 43-year-old Harvard MBA with an already impressive track record. What struck me about the interview was Brenneman's straight talk.
The interview ran under the heading "Flipping Burker King" and is available online only to subscribers. Here are just a few highlights:
WSJ: Do you feel the need to change the menu to appease fast-food critics?
Mr. Brenneman: No pressure at all. You should be able to come to Burger King and get a healthy, low-calorie, low-fat meal. You can. Beyond that, I don't think it's my job to tell Americans what they should eat. We might as well go back to communism.
Well, that's what caught my attention, and it is the highlight of the interview. But I also enjoyed the follow-up:
WSJ: Do you think fast-food makes people fat?
Mr. Brenneman: Life is about everything in moderation. But you can eat at Burger King at every single meal, every single day and actually have a moderated diet, depending on what you eat. Or, you can eat at Burger King or McDonald's or Wendy's or Subway and not have a moderated diet. It's choice.
WSJ: When do you expect to have a trans-fat-free product mix?
Mr. Brenneman: The trans-fat-free issue is an interesting one, and one we're working on, both in Europe, which is a little ahead of the US, and here. The real question is: How do you do that? Do you come up with a trans-fat-free oil? Or do you have a substitute product that's trans-fat-free? I think us and most of our competitors have found it's hard to do something trans-fat-free that tastes good. We're working on a trans-fat-free oil. I don't think we'll get left in the dust on this one.
WSJ: What do you eat?
Mr. Brenneman: I'm a Double Whopper fanatic. What I go in for on a regular basis is the salad. With chicken on it, it's terrific. You can put reasonable dressing on it and have a terrific meal if you need to watch your girlish figure.
WSJ: Haven't you lost weight since you've been at Burger King ?
Mr. Brenneman: I've lost about 25 to 30 pounds. If you eat Burger King three times a day, it's amazing, it's great dieting [laughs]….A few months back, after I gained my Burger King 10 [pounds], sampling products…I just started cutting back and eating the salads a lot.
Having conceded he put on his Burger King 10 eating the good stuff, Brenneman pours it on with the claim that he lost 30 pounds eating salads at Burger King. I buy it completely!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Ryan McCarthy has been hired as women's basketball coach at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
McCarthy comes to UAA from Great Northwest Athletic Conference rival Northwest Nazarene, where he served in a variety of coaching roles since 2007.
In all, he spent five seasons at NNU - as an assistant, interim head coach and associate head coach - following a professional basketball career in Oregon and Europe.
"I would like to thank Dr. Cobb and the UAA administration for the opportunity to lead such a special program," said McCarthy.
"Having grown up in Alaska, I take great pride in representing this institution and welcome the challenge of building on the winning tradition of the women's basketball team. My family and I are excited to become part of Seawolf Nation."
"We are delighted Coach McCarthy is joining the Seawolf family," said UAA athletic director Dr. Steve Cobb said.
"Within the GNAC, he has experienced success as a player, assistant coach and as a head coach. He has worked very hard to prepare himself for the opportunity to lead a program. He is familiar with Alaska, our program and our players individually.
"Coach McCarthy's personal and professional reputation is very well known to us and throughout the conference. We are confident that we now have the right leader for our exceptional women's basketball program."
After helping NNU to a 56-27 record as assistant coach from 2007-10, McCarthy stepped up as acting head coach in 2010-11 while Kelli Lindley took a leave of absence. He led the Crusaders to a 14-13 overall record that season, including a 9-9 mark in conference play and a bid to the GNAC postseason tournament.
Following Lindley's return in 2011-12, McCarthy was named associate head coach and helped pilot NNU to an 18-10 season and another GNAC tournament appearance.
Professionally, McCarthy played for Tus Bramsche in Bramsche, Germany, in 2006-07, where he led the league in three-pointers and free throw percentage. He spent 2006 with the Central Oregon Hotshots of the International Basketball League, averaging 16 points, four assists and four rebounds per game.
A 4-year starter and 3-year captain for the Crusaders from 2002-06, McCarthy was named NNU's Orrin Hills Male Athlete of the Year for 2005-06. He ranks third in program history with 256 treys over his career after becoming the GNAC's all-time single-season leader with 102 three pointers in 2005-06. Overall he posted 1,161 career points for the Crusaders.
Most recently McCarthy helped organize a basketball camp in Point Hope with Jeff Kinneeveauk.

Part of Community
Thank you for Bishop Emil A. Wcela's insightful article on the similarities between the church in the Czech Republic and the church in the United States (A Dangerous Common Enemy, 2/21). The challenges common to both countries are considerable. Add to that the compromised position of the Catholic Church in the United States in the light of the sexual abuse scandal, and the task of renewing our faith communities becomes all the more difficult.
What I found most heartening was the bishop's account of how he goes out to parishes regularly and listens to what active Catholics have to say. This type of episcopal outreach can be of great benefit to the pastoral mission of the church. It would be helpful for bishops occasionally to seek out and listen to disaffected and marginalized Catholics as well. They, too, are part of the community called to join in worship and to witness to God's kingdom of peace and justice in the world.

Honor the Fallen
I am a dedicated advocate for peace. Also, it is true that some graduates of the School of the Americas did participate in human rights violations in Latin America (United in Protest, 2/7). However, I feel that the Jesuit- and Maryknoll-led protests at Fort Benning, Ga., should be suspended as long as American soldiers are dying in Iraq.
My son, Sgt. Joseph M. Nolan, age 27, was killed near Fallujah, Iraq, on Nov. 18, 2004, while on a patrol. He was a gifted linguist. A 1999 graduate of St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, he took four years of the Japanese language. He joined the army before 9/11 and after boot camp was sent to the Defense Language Institute, where he learned Arabic. Joe had been in Iraq since January 2004. He was an interrogator and translator. Occasionally he went on patrol because of his language ability. On one such patrol he was mortally wounded by an improvised explosive device. Joe had been planning to go back to the Middle East when he was discharged from the army in the spring to attend graduate school in Arabic studies.
While the S.O.A. issue and the Iraq war may be separate aspects of American foreign policy, and many may disagree with both, our fallen soldiers and Marines need to be honored. Their deaths must not be in vain. Temporarily suspending S.O.A. protests at Fort Benning would be a good way to honor fallen Americans.

Great Virtues
As a former student (1966-69) of Josef Fuchs, S.J., I was saddened to learn of his death, but I rejoice in his victory in this Easter season. The tribute to Father Fuchs by James F. Keenan, S.J., (3/28) captures well the essence of the theologian and the man.
Knowing Father Fuchs's role in the formulation of the majority opinion on the contraception issue, I asked him in the immediate wake of the promulgation of Humanae Vitae why he, unlike Father Bernard Häring, did not react in the media. Fuchs's reply was insightful to me as a prospective teacher of moral theology. He responded: If I write, they will seek to silence me. They know where I stand, because they asked my opinion behind closed doors. If I write, a handful of people will read what I say. If I teach, I reach hundreds of students who, in turn, will influence many of the faithful and for many more years.
One anecdote about the man. As we lingered one evening over dinner in a small restaurant, Father Fuchs saw a look of puzzlement come over my face. He asked: Bob, what is wrong? I nodded toward an adjoining table where an old man was being seated with a stunning young woman, clearly not his daughter. I said: I don't understand that. Father Fuchs looked, then said to me: Bob, you do not understand because you are not an old man. Perspectiveone of this master's great virtues, shared in writing, the classroom and in casual conversation. Peace and thank you, Josef.

A Little Longer
On the subject of creation and evolution (editorial, Genesis and Darwinism, 4/4), it may lighten the discussion if we recall the experience of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. As a youngster at Sunday school he became upset when his teacher launched a tirade against a certain Darwin person. It dawned on young Williams that this person was his great-uncle, Charles. When he returned home he asked his mother why the teacher was so upset with Great-Uncle Charles. His mother explained: Well, dear, the Bible says that God created the world in six days. Great-Uncle Charles thinks it took a little longer. Either way, it's a beautiful mystery.

Keep Holy
What a pity that in their desire to protect what they see as biblical truth, fundamentalists read the Bible as if it were written in our own times and thereby fail to grasp its deeper meaning (4/4). Does the first chapter of Genesis, for example, teach how long it took God to make the world? No. It does teach that there is only one God, that everything that exists owes its existence to that one God (and that includes the sun and the moon; they are not gods as their neighbors thought, just big lights in the sky) and that everything God makes is good, especially human beings, who enjoy a special place in God's creation. And, by the way, keep holy the day of rest.
Thomas L. Sheridan, S.J.
Jersey City, N.J.
Literal Reading
Genesis and Darwinism (4/4) points out that those who oppose the teaching of evolution fear evolution because there is no way to reconcile evolution with the literal reading of the story of Adam and Eve as the first humans. Yet, strangely, they do not have any problem with Jesus' teaching in parables, with their figurative language and possibility of a deeper revelation to be understood at some point in the future.

Powerful Conversions
As a Filipino American I read with interest Denis Murphy's article, A Tale of Two Ships (3/14). I was impressed with his great honesty, especially regarding the climate of graft and corruption among traditional politicians in the Philippines. There is a disconnect between the faith and behavior of corrupt Filipinos, who take pride in being a Catholic or Christian country in Asia.
Indeed, the churchstill a trusted institution according to Mr. Murphyhas failed, not only in what Cardinal Jaime Sin himself has admitted about being the church of the poor but also in teaching about morality! The Catholic schools, as well as the public schools and the government, have failed the people.
Yet there's hope. While it is easy for anyone to say what the bishops should do, it is more significant that the bishops themselves realize where they have failed and what they need to do to overcome the problems, especially graft and corruption. The bishops have begun to recognize the need for a conversion of heart: the spirituality of stewardship as a way of life to emerge from the endless circles. The bishops, though skeptical at first, now understand that it would be a sin of omission if they did not promote it. According to Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, the challenge is to share stewardship spirituality with the people and to provide a structure in which they can embrace stewardship as a way of life.
Over the last two years I have personally observed powerful conversions among priests, bishops, religious and lay leaders as they effect change and transformation in their own lives and the lives of those around them. Indeed, the Holy Spirit is working in the life of the Philippine church. I am convinced that while it will take time, there is hope that the church may be able to curb the climate of graft and corruption in the Philippines.

Matter of Preference
Valerie Schultz, in The Case for Dancing (3/21), says that the Mass has its own sacred choreography. Isn't it then obvious that the rift she describes is a simple matter of preferences? Some people prefer the well-known dance of the standing, bowing, kneeling and sitting that are part of every Mass, and some people prefer a more spiritedor even inspiredliturgical dance performed for the assembly by well-trained dancers. De gustibus....
I do object to her apparent complaint that liturgical dance could be banned. Is this true? If they danced at the papal visit to St. Louis, it hardly seems likely. Isn't it possible to make the case for dancing (or art, for that matter) without inviting readers to join a polemic against traditionalists?

Happy to See
I started reading the Of Many Things column on March 14 without checking first to see who had written it. About half the time, I look down at the bottom first to see which editor has penned the words. I admit, I have my favorites. But I began without knowing who wrote the words. By the time I had hit the end of the second paragraph, though, I knew who the writer was without having to glance toward the bottom. I could not have disagreed more with reader who was happy I was leaving America the magazine, he would be much happier if I left America the country. I read America from cover to cover (except for the book reviews, which I skim), but there are a few authors I am always particularly happy to see. And of that crowd, James Martin, S.J., crowns the list, so I am writing to offer thanks and encouragement. To this lay geologist, it would be a sad day indeed when Father Martin stopped contributing.

That won't happen, according to a spokesman for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the controversial Utah monument designated by President Clinton in 1996.
Of the 908 miles approved for recreational use in the Grand Staircase monument, 553 miles are open to ATVs and motorcycles, said Larry Crutchfield. In addition, he said existing uses such as oil drilling continued without being affected by the new status.
More roads in Grand Staircase-Escalante may be opened to all-terrain vehicles in the future, depending on the outcome of lawsuits filed by Kane and Garfield counties and others, Crutchfield added. Those suits seek to have historic routes honored as roadways under RS 2477 designation.
Crutchfield said a Kanab-area four-wheel drive club was concerned when monument status was declared at Grand Staircase, but most of that stemmed from confusion over which routes were open to motorized travel and which weren't.
Response from off-road drivers over the years has been generally supportive, Crutchfield said. "Almost every four-wheeler is opposed to driving cross-country."
However, the president of a Kanab off-road vehicle club says members aren't happy with the Staircase monument. He acknowledged many miles of trails remain open, but said motor vehicles are banned on other routes.
"They did close a lot of roads," Tony Wright said. "We lost a lot of good roads we had been using for years. It hasn't worked well for us."
Part of the problem, he said, was that people from outside the local area set up a recreation plan that determined which roads would be open to motor vehicles.
"There was no input from local people," Wright said.
He noted that five additional roads have been approved for motor vehicle use through RS 2477 lawsuits, and he hopes more will be added in the future. He also issued a warning to other recreation users about possible monument status.
"They close (trails) to motorists and the next thing they'll go after is hikers," he said.
Opponents from the Moab-based Sagebrush Coalition also pointed to what they called the loss of commercial access to 2 trillion tons of coal in Grand Staircase when it became a national monument. But Moab resident Bonnie Crysdale, a retired U.S. Geological Survey employee, rejected that contention in a letter to The Times-Independent.
"When I was working as a geologist for the USGS, an acquaintance at the Bureau of Mines was involved in studying the coal removal plan, and this person told me that all of the coal to be extracted was to be shipped overseas (none for domestic use), and that the Bureau of Mines would not issue a permit because it was so environmentally destructive," Crysdale wrote. "So even if the monument had never been granted, a permit to mine would probably never have been issued."
Proponents of monument status at Canyonlands point to better preservation of sensitive habitat as a benefit of increased regulation. The Outdoor Industry Association sent a letter to President Obama last month urging him to declare monument status surrounding Canyonlands.
"The future of our outdoor recreation economy depends on protecting iconic landscapes – such as Greater Canyonlands – where people go to recreate," the letter stated. "And monument proclamation is an important and effective way to provide the protection that is needed."

Shirley's Feather-Light Biscuits
Shirley Corriher is a famous food scientist and James Beard foundation award-winning author of CookWise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Cooking. She has worked with White Lily® to develop this recipe - the ultimate, feather-light biscuit. Her method is unconventional, but it produces the world's softest, most delicious, most ethereal biscuit. Shirley truly is a culinary genius!
Combine self-rising flour, baking soda, salt and sugar in a medium-mixing bowl. With your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the shortening into the flour mixture until there are no shortening lumps larger than a big pea.
Stir in buttermilk and cream, and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. (Note: This dough is so wet that you can't shape it in the usual manner.)
Pour the cup of all-purpose flour onto a plate or pie tin; flour your hands well. Spoon a biscuit-size lump of wet dough into the flour, and sprinkle some flour over the wet dough to coat the outside. Pick up the biscuit and shape it roughly into a round; at the same time, shake off the excess flour. The dough is so soft that it will not hold its shape. As you shape each biscuit, place it in the pan. Push the biscuits tightly against each other so that they will rise up and not spread out; continue shaping biscuits in this manner until all of the dough is used.**
Brush biscuits with melted butter, and bake until lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 1 or 2 minutes in the pan, then dump out and cut the biscuits apart. Butter while hot and eat immediately.
Tips and Techniques
* If low-protein Southern self-rising flour is not available, use 1 cup national brand self-rising flour and 1/2 cup instant flour (such as Shake & Blend or Wondra) or cake flour plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. If self-rising flour is not available, use a total of 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. Do not use self-rising flour for shaping since the leavener will give a bitter taste to the outside of the biscuits.
** To make a large batch of biscuits in a hurry, spray a 2-inch ice cream scoop with cooking spray. Cover a jellyroll pan with all-purpose flour. Quickly scoop biscuits onto the floured pan, sprinkle with flour, then shape and place in small pans to bake.

Makes about 10 biscuits

7 U.S. Code § 1736h - Congressional consultation on bilateral commodity supply agreements
As soon as practicable before the Government of the United States enters into any bilateral international agreement, other than a treaty, involving a commitment on the part of the United States to assure access by a foreign country or instrumentality thereof to United States agricultural commodities or products thereof on a commercial basis, the President is encouraged to notify and consult with the appropriate committees of Congress for the purpose of setting forth in detail the terms of and reasons for negotiating such agreement.
Section was enacted as part of the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981, and not as part of the Food for Peace Act which comprises this chapter.

Motorola has just put up a new page that helps users easily find the software update status of any phone or tablet it sells. The new page is extremely user friendly, and walks users through finding their device and more information about it. You start with selecting your carrier, then a model and at that point you'll be presented with the update information and support links. Most recent devices will get a "This device will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)" notice, while the older devices are told they'll be kept on Gingerbread.
For those who are stuck on older versions, they'll often be notified that their devices qualify for Motorola's trade-in program, which gives a credit towards a new Motorola device. This is a great move by Motorola to help users understand -- in no uncertain terms -- which devices will get the updates going forward.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — Militant Protestants have attacked Northern Ireland police and blocked roads across Belfast as protests over the city council's decision to lower the British flag reached their 40th day.
Protesters blocked two dozen Belfast roads at rush hour Friday night. Thousands of workers fled the city early in expectation of what has become nightly disruption since Catholic council members voted Dec. 3 to remove the British flag from city hall except for 18 official days annually.
Police say four officers were injured amid barrages of 33 petrol bombs and other hand-thrown weapons in two suburbs north of Belfast.
Officers used mobile water cannons and at least five plastic bullets to fend off rioters.
Northern Ireland's major freeway was closed southwest of Belfast after police discovered a pipe bomb by the roadside.

Stylish performers from Rihanna to Pink have rocked the undercut recently, but taking the plunge yourself and lopping off an entire side of your hair is a pretty big deal. There is a solution that will give you the cool look without the cut commitment, and (bonus!) it incorporates a sleek braid. We're talking about the faux version of the look, and if you can do a French braid, you can make this happen in minutes. You'll blend right in with the singers at your next summer music festival!

I'll admit that multipurpose rooms are on the rise. The idea of using one room to entertain, watch movies, read, and relax, makes a lot more sense than designing a room dedicated to each individual activity.
Still, there are plenty of custom electronics (CE) pros and budget-minded homeowners building rooms designed expressly for big-screen movie viewing. I know, I've been asking. According to the countless CE pros I talk to at trade shows, home tours and during telephone interviews, home theaters are still hot.
Another "luxury" item the StarTribune states as a dying breed is the outdoor kitchen. Ummmm. Really?! If people aren't entertaining outside as much, then why on earth would SunBriteTV plan to launch an entire new line of outdoor TVs this spring? The company expects at least a 200 percent increase in volume in 2012 over 2011. I can't imagine an outdoor kitchen without a TV nearby.
Finally, among other things, the StarTribune says luxury bathrooms are out. Don't think so. We see lots of high tech homes in coverage of technology, and nearly all have a bathroom that's tricked out with mirror TVs, speakers (sometimes in the shower) and touchpanels that let its occupants see what's happening elsewhere in the house. Luxury bathrooms are totally in.
So, sorry StarTribune. We think you're really, really wrong.
For examples of great outdoor audio/video systems, check out the 2011 Home of the Year Winners outdoor category here.

It is possible that the main title of the report Rosenberg Chutorian Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Rosenberg-Chutorian syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by the triad of hearing loss, degeneration of the optic nerve (optic atrophy) and neurological abnormalities, specifically disease of the nerves outside of the central nervous system (peripheral neuropathy). The arms and legs are most often affected by peripheral neuropathy. Rosenberg-Chutorian syndrome is inherited as an X-linked disorder with occasional mild symptoms present in the female carrier.
At least two other disorders are characterized by optic atrophy, hearing loss and peripheral neuropathy: Iwashita syndrome and Hagemoser syndrome. Most researchers consider these two disorders and Rosenberg-Chutorian syndrome separate disorders.

Political historians, answer this question: Mitt Romney is the worst major party presidential candidate since ____. Honestly, I'm having trouble coming up with an answer.
When I wrote the original "Wow Mitt Romney is a terrible candidate" column, it was the early days of summer and the Obama campaign had just begun its line of attack against Bain Capital.
Oh, how I bet the Romney campaign glows with nostalgia for those halcyon days!
Three gaffes on a trip abroad, thirty or so weird fibs by vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan, one Clint Eastwood babbling at a chair, one lame, hastily written convention speech, one treating the death of an American ambassador as a political punching bag, one Politico story detailing Romney's managerial incompetence, and one candid camera moment catching Romney being a weird, rich asshole to a bunch of other head-nodding weird, rich assholes later, and Mitt Romney wishes the Obama campaign was still hammering him for Bain.
The Romney campaign has given Obama so much ammunition, it's like the French crossed the Maginot Line and started handing the German army bombs and artillery to shove up its own ass.
And the Democrats haven't even deployed the most obvious line of attack yet: Since Romney won't release his tax returns for the last ten years, how do we know he wasn't among those deadbeat 47% who pay no income tax and exist off government largesse?
Seriously, in light of this awesome and revealing video, why shouldn't voters and the media demand that we know if either of the candidates are in that dreaded 47%? Romney postulates that the reason it's hard for Republicans to win is not because of the party's knee-jerk hostility toward Hispanics, women, African-Americans, young people, the poor, science, mainstream economics, and "fact-checker" institutions like the media and academia, but rather because all those deadbeats are voting themselves benefits like "not being kicked off your insurance for developing breast cancer" and other abject assaults on freedom.
I spend a bit of time in "The Great Dysmorphia" (available on Kindle and iBooks for just $1.99! / as an Obama voter, I will accept welfare checks and food stamps) explaining why the 47% meme is a terrifically stupid, inaccurate, and lazy explanation for the state of the economy and electoral politics. Which is bullshit because now basically everyone on the internet is debunking this crap by explaining that by any measure, there are plenty of Republicans in that 47%. However, I'd point you to this excellent piece by Annie Lowery for Slate where she summarizes the inanity of the categorization.
Because the Romney-Ryan ticket is more or less openly advocating a $5 trillion tax cut for the richest people in the country, it's hard to laugh at these guys (OK, I'm having a pretty easy time). Yet on some level you have to titter at the absurdity of the argument they're presented to the American people: In a time of unemployment and hardship, struggle and sacrifice, easily the longest period of hard times since the Great Depression, a period that will leave lasting scars on the American workforce for a generation, we are being told that our biggest problem is that the working poor and lower rung of the middle class have it too easy? That's the argument? That shit is just going too well for them right now? They are too easily staving off foreclosure of their homes, their kids' student loan bills are too low, their jobs are too secure, the chance of losing their health insurance isn't a terrifying, life-altering possibility? They're too fat and happy, so we have to raise their taxes in order to cut them for the wealthy? This is the argument you're presenting?
Please, by all means, go ahead and run on that.
