Recipe for Hummus
Hummus Recipe With Pita Wedges
What Is Hummus?
Hummus is a dip made mainly from chickpeas or garbanzo beans. Garbanzo beans and chickpeas are the same thing. What they are called depends on the region. Hummus is an ancient recipe dating back thousands of years. Hummus is a common dish in Greece and Middle Eastern countries.There are many varieties of hummus, and hummus recipes are very different in various regions. About the only thing many hummus recipes have in common is the main ingredient, chickpeas. Hummus is usually served as a dip with pita bread or fresh, cut up vegetables such as onion slices.
In Search of a Recipe for Hummus
The following is a basic, authentic hummus recipe. I got this recipe for hummus from a neighbor from Turkey when I was trying to learn how to make hummus.
She said that for it to be a truly authentic hummus recipe, canned chickpeas should not be used. And she doesn't add the garlic. But she said that she had 'Americanized' it somewhat. Anyway, it is very easy to learn how to make hummus with this recipe for hummus and it tastes great.
Hummus Ingredients
2 15-oz cans chickpeas, reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid to add to the hummus1 teaspoon cumin1/4 teaspoon paprikasalt and pepper to taste 3 cloves garlic, chopped fine1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilJuice from 2 lemons (your preference, you may use less)2/3 cup tahini
How to Make Hummus
Drain the chickpeas and remember to save 1/2 cup of the liquid. Mash in a blender or with a hand masher. Add the spices and garlic next. Next add the olive oil a little at a time while stirring well. Last, add the lemon juice and tahini. Add enough of the reserved liquid from the chickpeas to get a creamy consistency, as hummus should be.Drizzle with a little olive oil just before serving. Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables or just eat the hummus by itself!
Hummus Recipe Information
Note: Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds. It used to be very difficult to find, but is being carried by more stores now. Look for it in the ethnic foods section of your grocery store. If you can't find it there, try health food stores or stores like Publix or Wild Oats.

Prosecutor mulling charges in editor, Miller flap
JUNEAU, Alaska – A security guard said he placed a reporter under citizen's arrest at a campaign event for Alaska Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller after the journalist refused orders to leave and pushed someone into a locker.
Alaska Dispatch editor Tony Hopfinger rushed up to and "kind of brushed up against" Miller, and refused repeated requests to leave after being told it was a private event, said Bill Fulton, the Dropzone Security agent involved in Sunday's scuffle at an Anchorage school.
Hopfinger told Anchorage television station KTUU that security pushed him as he tried to question Miller and he pushed back, a statement confirmed by Dispatch publisher Alice Rogoff, who witnessed the confrontation. Anchorage police said they weren't able to find anyone who claimed to have been pushed into a locker but would review witness statements regarding that.
Miller accused Hopfinger of using the town hall for a "publicity stunt." Miller also has claimed the online news site has focused its attention on negative stories about him.
Hopfinger wasn't immediately available Monday. His attorney, John McKay, called the incident "bizarre" and said Hopfinger committed no offense.
"Do I think Tony was right, editorially? Absolutely," Rogoff said.
Miller is locked in a race with U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, whom he upset in the GOP primary and who is now running as a write-in candidate, and Democrat Scott McAdams.
Last week, Miller declared he would no longer answer questions about his past, following what he alleged was a leak to members of the media of his personnel file from his time as an attorney with the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
Miller has had to respond to a number of disclosures that he or his family had received the types of government benefits — farm subsidies, Medicaid, unemployment — that he now rails against or has questioned as constitutionality of.
In acknowledging this, saying that for a time he struggled like many others have, he said he no longer gets benefits and that it has no relevance to the current race. Miller also said his campaign would continue to be as transparent and honest as possible.
But during a news conference in which he declared his personal life off-limits, he singled out the Dispatch, saying its "so-called journalistic objective is anything negative about Joe. ... It doesn't matter whether the sources are anonymous or not. They'll publish it on their blog."
The Dispatch was first to report that Miller, a fiscal conservative who has called for an end to the "welfare state," accepted farm subsidies in the 1990s. It's also among the news organizations suing for access to Miller's personnel file from the time he worked at the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
A former borough mayor claims Miller was nearly fired in 2008 for using government computers in a failed effort to overthrow the state GOP chairman. The Dispatch had reported allegations related to this before the mayor publicly spoke, citing unidentified sources.
Miller on Monday acknowledged to CNN he was disciplined over the matter but said he was never threatened with termination.
Rogoff said Hopfinger was "doggedly" pursuing an answer to Miller's employment question when he was shoved by a member of the security detail. Miller has called her a "max donor" to Murkowski, though Rogoff said she hasn't made a political contribution since buying the Dispatch several years ago.
Hopfinger could possibly face a trespassing charge, if the municipal prosecutor pursues it, said police Lt. Dave Parker. Dropzone has asked for that, Fulton said.
Parker added that security could be charged with assault for handcuffing the editor. McKay said he doesn't believe Hopfinger will push for that, saying Hopfinger "doesn't want to be the issue here."
The prosecutor's office didn't immediately return a message Monday, a state holiday.
Parker said the Miller campaign rented the school at which the event was held and was entitled to decide who was allowed there.
"If the press is invited, they have every right to be there," he said. "But if they say to a particular member, 'We don't want you here,' then that person is persona non grata and can't stay."
Police talked to seven witnesses but not Miller, who had already left the area, Parker said.

Fastest little sweater I ever made!
I was given some yarn on Friday morning about 10 am. It was three skeins of Eden; the label says, in German, "Jakob AG - Bernetta Wolle - Col - 1933 " It is 28% Wool, 71% Polyacryl, 1% Viscose And three skeins of Moda Vera Jazz furry yarn - in a milk chocolate brown. So yummy!!
I knew right away it wanted to be made into a Tomten Modular Jacket.
The Eden is a lovely tweedy looking yarn - sort of a grey/green/brown with a tiny fleck of apricot, which you can only see when you look closely. I wasn't sure it would be enough - but as I thought I only had two skeins of the Jazz - I could have done the whole thing in alternating stripes including the sleeves - I found the third skein lurking in my tote bag after I had finished it!! Never mind - I have enough to make something else now!!
Because I wasn't sure if I had enough - I made the body up to the armholes fairly short - only about twenty ridges, starting with 6 ridges of garter stitch in the Eden at the bottom.
After I had done the sleeves, I came back and picked up front bands, starting at the right front, and then continued all the way around the bottom, picking up from the cast on edge, and up the left front. Then I knitted garter stitch front bands and bottom, mitreing at the bottom corners of the front bands. This gave it a really tailored look I feel. I am so in LERV with this little jacket. I just knew the two yarns would combine well.
See what I mean about the wide garter bands??
Now here's the thing - as I said, I was given this yarn on Friday a.m - I started knitting it on Saturday evening - then continued on Sunday evening, then picked it up again Monday afternoon and finished it Monday evening about 10.30 p.m!! This was a classic case of the yarn talking to me!!It literally yelled at me to be made into a Tomten!!
I think I shall go with the Teddy Bear buttons - I have a gazillion buttons and would you believe I couldn't find any to go with it - they are just sitting on the bands - not sewn on yet - I do have some wooden ones like flowers but I may have to dye them - they are a bit pine coloured - sort of yellowy wood - I want them a bit browner.
Must tell you what my husband said though - he said he thought I was knitting a dead mole!!!!
Now isn't that a charming thing to say???? LOL!!
Ok for those who would like to know - the pattern is by Elizabeth Zimmermann - you can find it in her book "Knitting Without Tears" (Page 87) and in "Knitting Workshop" (Page 102)
Both these books are available online from http://www.schoolhousepress.com
Labels: Baby Sweater, Elizabeth Zimmermann, Tomten

For this they are willingly ignorant.
When one spends anytime reading the bible, eventually one will begin reading certain portions of it over again. Being the living word that it is, often something new will hit you like a ton of bricks. This portion in 2Peter is one of those passages.
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Peter starts off by telling us that there will be scoffers that will question the existence of God, or at least question His imminent return. I think it is fair to say that they question His existence altogether. "All things continue as it has since the beginning of [time]." Remember, they say this because they walk after "their own lust," in other words, they wish to live their lives as if they aren't really accountable to a higher authority.
"For this they are willingly ignorant." Because the scoffers want to live their lives without God, they make themselves ignorant about a worldwide flood. If there is then evidence of the Great Flood, then that is ultimate proof of God. If there is a God then there is one to which we are accountable.
There is evidence of a worldwide flood, so much evidence that evolutionist will try to place that flood about 4 billion years ago, when really it was about 4500 years ago. If there was water 4 billion years ago the evolution must be true and God a lie. For this they are willingly ignorant.

(I wrote this article a month ago about how game play will be used as social conditioning to enslave humanity into another prison. Now it comes to life with this development.
- New iPhone and iPad app rewards couch potatoes for watching TV – with gift certificates to Burger King and Starbucks
- Viggle listens to what's on TV and gives approximately two points per minute watched
- 7,500 points earns $5 gift card to certain retailers
- App collects demographic information such as age, gender, ZIP code, and email address
Social manipulation is at the root of the Elite's control over humanity and what starts off as innocent fast food gimmicks will eventually turn into a nightmare.)
Originally Published December 30th, 2011
Listen to Carnegie Mellon University Professor Jesse Schell get all excited about a new SIMS future where corporations and governments manipulate the masses through game play. The explosion of game play in our daily lives is something that has crept into the human experience. We have gas point, free sub points, friends on FaceBook, but Jesse Schell lays out a dream world where the Elite can manipulate the masses through technology and game play. He says that humans play hours of games to gain experience points to somehow fill a psychological void in our real world. I am of course a victims of this as I am on my 6th Prestige Level in Modern Warfare 3. (SilverShield76) Had these games like Farmville not had the experience points and leveling up ability they would not have been so successful in garnering the attention of the masses and making billions in return. Ultimately to keep a population distracted by the very real issues we cover here at DTOM and TGTNT. Too bad we don't have the resources to get people to gain experience points for becoming totally free from this doomed paradigm… Maybe we do, we just call the Silver Eagles.
The real nightmare is that technology is becoming so cheap and online marketers have found a way to monetize every action in the virtual world, that we are not too far off from a real world where we are going to be motivated (controlled) by experience points. Brush your teeth… +10xp. Brush your teeth for the recommended 3 minutes… bonus +30 xp. Your kid gets good grades… +6,000 xp that you can redeem on your taxes for being a good little indoctrinated citizen. He goes on and on about how everything will be monitored and that you will embrace all of this because you can win the future game of life. The CIA's interest in Bitcoin plays into this. (Read about Bitcoin here.)
|So what could be the interest of the CIA in Bitcoin? Gavin says that there is a intelligence technology conference this year and the main issue is money. He says that they are, "very interested in money." That is probably because that they know the dollar is going to die and their power is derived off of that dollar. They are looking for alternatives to keep their power going. I am of the opinion that there is a huge black ops part of the government that has huge interest in illegal activities like drug importation from Afghanistan. Could Bitcoin be used as an alternative currency outside the banking system? After all, our banking system is going to collapse and when it all goes down there are going to be a lot of bankers squealing about illegal activities to cover their ass. Here is a Swiss Banker blowing the whistleon how an assassination of a President of a third world country was paid through his bank.These highly intelligent, forward thinking guys are trying to find a way to deal with a new paradigm. Collapsing dollar, freedom movement, hacktivism, and blow back from decades of illegal and immoral activities. It is too bad these guys don't listen to the Oath they took to preserve and protect the Constitution. Maybe they think technologies like Bitcoin can serve as model for a new Dollar? Maybe they can set up other schemes that the fascist corporate power can use as currency when the dollar collapses? Maybe they will simply use the unlimited power of the government to generate more Bitcoins? Who knows? All I know that is all of this will end, and not well for those that are most dependent on the dollar paradigm.
I guess when we all realize that the dollar is not longer a good carrot to waste our lives chasing after that digital illusion, we can then be conned into chasing after experience points. The Elite could introduce SDR's as the one world currency for their corporate minions and governmental institutions and give the masses XP to chase after as they laugh at the little Webkins they control in this very real world they control. Regardless of what the Elite try to pull once you are awakened to the reality of how the world really works you are immune to these social predators that seek to manipulate you to their ultimate ends.
I hope my projects like the Sons of Liberty Academy, The Ultimate Exit Strategy, and now The Greatest Truth Never Told provide you with the generational wealth of becoming immune to these social predators. It has been a wonderful year serving you and I am very excited to see what happens as we continue down this path, aware and prepared.
The technocrat's wet dream starts at 17:30
I will be addressing this much more in The Greatest Truth Never Told very soon, so stay tuned.
I am also trying to get a expert on exposing these manipulators for the Silver Shield Report.
Here is a teaser…
Listen closely to how these two marketers purposely lie and use psychology to pitch their projects. This is the same type of psychology that is used to march nations into war.

Well, wedding days are upon us... Adrian and I have nailed down a reception site! Praise the LORD! It is beautiful... well, I love it anyways. We went and looked at it the other day... and it is VERY different without the green grass, gree trees, and bright sun... standing in a cold, tent in the middle of winter isn't necessarily the ideal way to imagine your wedding...
I love it. I do! These three pictures are inside the tent. It is a permanent tent... with sides that fold up, and the couple who owns it (near Nivervill, MB) will do all the set up and take down for us... etc... so my day will be stress free! Yay!
Also, there are some lovely features! Such as the dance floor! (no rentals for me!!!) And the lovely rafter ceiling! Yay!
Life and love is truly a gift. Anyhow... There are more things to do... But I thought I'd let everyone see the beauty that will be my wedding... (Just imagine it in summer... the sunshine, the greeness, the AMAZING flowers everywhere, tables buzzing, full of the people we love... candles, a fire blazing outside after dusk - the music of the dance - It will be amazing! *sigh*)
Have a wonderful day!
Sorry - no "insightful" or "inspiring" thoughts today... nothing from the "depths of my soul"... just some stuff. Life is full of stuff.
plain. boring. wonderful stuff.

Three players given reprimands
Scott Newman, Ed Joyce and Kyle Hogg have received reprimands under the ECB's discipline code.
Newman, currently on loan with Nottinghamshire, was reported by umpires Richard Illingworth and Peter Hartley for a level one breach which covers abuse of cricket ground, equipment or fixtures and fittings when he swiped at his stumps following his dismissal against Sussex. From the same match Joyce was also reported for showing dissent.
Hogg's reprimand comes following an incident in Lancashire's Pro40 match against Leicestershire on August 23 when he was reported by Peter Willey and Mark Benson for a level one breach of the code.
The reprimands remain on the players' record for two years and any further level one breach during that period will result in an automatic imposition of three penalty points.

Every blog entry you post gives you a new opportunity to use SEO keywords in your content. By performing keyword research, finding the keywords and phrases that searchers looking for a company like yours would most likely use, and then using those keywords strategically in your blog posts, you can really improve your search engine optimization results.
To improve your outcomes, use long-tail keywords that your target audience will likely use during their research as part of the buyer's journey. But remember to avoid keyword stuffing.
It pays to build relationships with other organizations and websites. Blogging offers you the chance to include links to other relevant websites. As a return, these organizations may link back to your site, which will help you generate even more web traffic that you couldn't otherwise generate on your own.
It's important to build relationships with reputable and high-quality websites that fit your niche when backlinking, however. Otherwise, you could be penalized by search engines.
Increasing Your Popularity Rank
Sometimes, SEO is a popularity contest. Search engines will move up your rank on their result pages if they notice that your blog entries are shared frequently and clicked on often. The best way to win this popularity contest is to commit to only publishing high-quality content that your audience will actually want to read. Sharing your blog however you can and suggesting that others do the same can also help.
Why Blogging Is Important
One of the most important reasons why blogging is important, however, is because it can boost your SEO results. Search engine optimization (SEO) involves a series of activities that optimizes your content in order to improve your organic, or "free," traffic. The better you optimize your blog posts for SEO, the higher your webpages will be listed on search engine result pages, so more people can find your website and get to know your business. In fact, companies that blog typically gain at least twice as much web traffic as those that don't blog.
Posting Fresh Content on Your Website
Search engines love websites that are updated frequently. This shows them that the websites are fresh and relevant, rather than outdated. Search engines don't want to list irrelevant, outdated webpages for their users. They want to post the most up-to-date and new content possible to ensure that it's as useful as possible.
Unfortunately, there aren't many chances for you to update the other areas of your website. Your company's history and about us page will never change. Your price page and product pages will only rarely change, if ever. You might update your home page content a couple times a year, at the most.
Starting a blog gives you the opportunity to continuously publish new posts on your site. You can post multiple times a day if you want to. The more fresh content you post, the more pages you'll have for search engines to index, which means more opportunities to take the #1 spot on search engine result pages.

- Knitting needles don't get one searched at security checkpoints. Accidentally packing small scissors doesn't get one searched. Dusty (or salty) shoes, however, are very suspicious and will get you searched.
- Knitting on the Red Line gets a lot of friendly interest, especially when something breaks and everyone spends a bunch of time sitting around. (Now I'm a Subway Knitter too, even though I don't have photographic proof.)
- The concierge at the Charles Hotel (thanks, job interview!) knew where to find a yarn store. I bought a nice bit of Koigu from Woolcott and Co.. That's the kind of service I'm impressed by.
4. Bostonians in general, and Bostonian knitters in particular, are really friendly. I wandered into a cafe for a while after my yarn expedition. The only seat left in the only place was opposite a woman knitting a sock. She graciously allowed me to share the table with her, and I spent a lively hour chatting with her and the motorcyclists at the next table. (One of these bikers really loves hand-knits (indoctrinated by his mother), and claims that alpaca is essentially free in Turkey. I think I might need to take a vacation sometime. I could buy enough alpaca to recover my airfare, right?)
Thank you, Boston/Cambridge and your inhabitants, for reminding me that you're a great enough city to make me want to take a job here, even with all the snow. Perhaps more snow just means more knitting friends and more opportunities to wear woolens. Still, I think that if I move back there, I'll need one of these.

WEST FELICIANA PARISH, LA (WAFB) - After an investigation by the Louisiana State Police, authorities are urging the public to check their credit report and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
State Police and the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office arrested a woman for credit card thefts and theft of mail that happened in West Feliciana Parish.
Last year, an individual learned that her identity had been stolen and the person behind it used the victim's former W. Feliciana address.
The victim told detectives that she did not live in Louisiana when the fraudulent purchases were made. She explained that she believed someone had obtained her information from mail that may have still been delivered to her previous address in W. Feliciana Parish.
During the investigation, detectives located and arrested Chanel P. Gray, 30, of Jackson, LA. She was charged with unauthorized use of an access card as theft, and several counts of theft of mail.
When detectives found Gray, they also found numerous pieces of mail that were addressed to individuals who reside in W. Feliciana Parish. Detectives suspected Gray of stealing mail from numerous mailboxes throughout W. Feliciana Parish and using the information obtained in the mailboxes to open fraudulent credit card accounts.
Investigators suspect that there may be more victims who are not aware that their credit has been compromised. The public is urged to check their credit and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Investigators also suspect that Gray was not acting alone and are asking anyone with additional information to please contact the W. Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office (225-784-3136), Louisiana State Police Detectives (225-925-7282), or their local law enforcement agency.
Detectives will follow all leads in an effort to identify possible victims of identity theft and to bring this case to a close.

Beginning August 21, 2011, WE tv unveils its new original reality series Big Easy Brides, an eight-episode look at couples' looks of love as they celebrate their NOLA nuptials at the only wedding chapel in the French Quarter.
Walking viewers through the walks down the aisle will be Tony, aka the "Reverend of Romance," who has officiated over more than 10,000 I do's; Tony's wife Lou Ann, who helps to manage all the maritally-minded mayhem; Maria, a wedding coordinator with a no-nonsense nuptial attitude; Dana, who provides the soundtrack to ceremonies as the chapel musician; Mia, a wedding photographer who captures the quirky vow exchanges for posterity; and Gino, a former wrestler who keeps the peace both before and after "let them speak now, or forever hold their peace" is recited by the reverend.
Big Easy Brides premieres August 21, 2011 at 10 p.m. ET

I found this to be weird as most of my friends say that I have rather long fingers. Is there anything I can do technique wise to fix problem, or is this a common thing. Am I just a simple beginner with beginner problems or does everyone have bigger hands that I do??? Any suggestions?

Vintage Plaid High Waisted Shorts
Added Aug 7, 2014
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
I've been sewing so much more this past summer than I have been all school year and it's felt so renewing. I made the shorts that I'm wearing using a vintage pattern that I bought at a thrift store a few years ago. That day was such a good thrifting score. I found a whole box of 1940/50s sewing patterns for sale and each pattern was only 50 cents. Needless to say I bought a lot and this project was one of the patterns that I bought.
I've made three different pairs of these shorts and and each time I make a new one I fall in love again. They're so comfortable, and the fitting in the crotch was perfectly drafted, which I've had a hard time finding that in modern sewing patterns. Although I've only sewn a few pants patterns so I'm sure there are a lot of great ones I've been missing out on. What are your favorite pants sewing patterns?
All photos are self portraits taken by myself.

What a great find. The pattern is still very contemporary. You look good. Burda young has a pant pattern #7227. I really like it as it a good summer style. There is a bloomer option which I have to try. Check it out. Cheers, :-)

Modify an Epson Workforce 645 ADF scanner to accept smaller documents?
I've got an Epson Workforce 645, and bought it specifically for its duplex scanning functionality. (Scanning my old books that are now out of print and literally falling apart at the spine...)
However, it turns out that it has a minimum possible size for scanning documents through the ADF.
The page size I'm hoping for is something slightly smaller than A5.
I'm hoping that there might be a hardware fix for this, and was wondering if anybody had any ideas.
Thank you
Is this a good question?

This is the new Blog for Mental Health 2013 Badge! Lulu started this amazing campaign last year, and it caught on like wildfire with mental health bloggers everywhere. They proudly took the pledge, spread the word to other bloggers, and displayed the badge prominently on their blogs.
Now here is where we get to the meat of how this amazing (yet simple) campaign works.
First, so you know, this isn't an award. I want to make that plain, because I know that many bloggers feel that the blogging awards passed along, however well-intentioned, sometimes have a bit of a "chain mail" feel to them. No, this campaign is something else entirely. As introduced by its creator, it goes like this:
1.) Take the pledge by copying and pasting the following into a post featuring "Blog for Mental Health 2013″.
I pledge my commitment to the Blog For Mental Health 2013 Project. I will blog about mental health topics not only for myself, but for others. By displaying this badge, I show my pride, dedication, and acceptance for mental health. I use this to promote mental health education in the struggle to erase stigma.
2.) Link back to the person who pledged you.
I found an open invitation pledge from Ruby on the A Canvas Of The Minds blog. Here is the original post! Anyone who is reading my post right now, can consider themselves pledged and able to commit to the project.
3.) Write a short biography of your mental health, and what this means to you.
My finace, Dan, killed himself several years ago. My teenage daughter has also struggled with depression and thoughts of suicide.
This pledge is my opportunity to commit to mental health awareness. I can publicly display this badge to instantly tell my audience what this is all about. And, I can encourage others within the mental health community that have a desire to do the same.
4.) Pledge five others, and be sure to let them know!
These are more than 5 wonderful blogs that all focus on mental health and well being. I encourage anyone to check them out:
Alice, of aliceatwonderland
Soul Survivor, of Bipolar For Life
Bold & Indie, of Bold & Indie
DeeDee, of Disorderly Chickadee
Sailor, of Hello Sailor
Ruby, of I Was Just Thinking. . .
James, of James Claims
Lunch Sketch, of Lunch Sketch
Monday, of Manic Monday
ManicMuses, of Manic Muses
Paz, of Melancholically Manic Mouse
Summer Solstice Girl, of Summer Solstice Musings
Lulu, of Sunny With a Chance Of Armageddon
Angel, of The Mirth of Despair
The Quiet Borderline, of The Quiet Borderline
Sarah Ellen, of The Seascapechronicles' Blog
As mentioned above, if you happen upon this without being pledged, feel free to take the pledge! Promote awareness!
5.) And, as something novel for 2013, Ruby at , A Canvas Of The Minds blog has launched a Blog For Mental Health 2013 Official Blogroll! So, in addition to linking back to the person who pledged you, please include the link to this original post in your piece. After you post, click here and leave a comment containing the link to your post, and they will put you on their Blog For Mental Health 2013 Official Blogroll page!
Show the world our strength, show them our solidarity, show them what we are made of. Take the Blog for Mental Health pledge and proudly display the badge on your blog!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Important note from Ruby:
Please, everyone: If you want to be included on our Blog For Mental Health 2013 Official Blogroll, and have your post shared by us via facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, you must leave a comment on the page with a link to your Blog For Mental Health post specifically. Make sure to read the original Blog For Mental Health 2013 launch post, it explains the concept behind this project and gives you an idea of what your post should contain.
I really want to include everyone, but a comment on the blogroll page with the link to your Blog For Mental Health 2013 post is necessary for this (just a link to your site doesn't help me!). Thank you so much for participating, and for helping me out here by following these three simple steps:
- Read the Blog For Mental Health 2013 original launch post.
- Write a post of your own that follows the directions for making your Blog For Mental Health 2013 pledge.
- Copy and paste the link to that specific post into a comment on the Blog For Mental Health 2013 Official Blogroll page. You won't see your comment, but I will comment back to you on that post on your blog so you know you've been added and had your post shared by us.

Create a Vintage Look in 3 Easy Steps
Retro, film-emulation style is a popular photography trend these days. Apps like Instagram and VSCOCam make it easy to apply vintage effects to camera phone snapshots, but I prefer to use Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom for blog photos taken with my digital camera. The low-contrast, matte look in this post can be created in just a few steps and will give your photos a unique and interesting style.
Begin by opening your image in Photoshop. Make any other edits or color correction before adding the matte effect. I'm using a photo I took from my sister-in-law's wedding, but this style will also work great with portraits and other types of pictures.
Step 1) Under the "Layer" menu, select "New Fill Later" and then "Solid Color".
Step 2) Click "OK" on the next screen and then change the hexadecimal color to 4e4e4e, a medium shade of gray. Click "OK" again.
Step 3) In the Layers window, choose "Lighten" from the dropdown.
If you prefer a subtler matte look, adjust the opacity until your desired effect is reached. For this example, I used 57% opacity.
I'd love to see the finished results, if anyone tries this effect on their own pictures—please feel free to leave a link in the comments!

Kroger (NYSE:KR) reported on Thursday a 14% jump in its second-quarter earnings to match estimates, as the supermarket chain continued to benefit from sales growth.
Continue Reading Below
Shares rallied 3% to $38.83 midday Thursday. The stock is up about 49% on the year.
The company, one of the nation's largest grocery store networks, said its profit rose to $317 million from $279 million in the year-ago period. On a per-share basis, earnings came in at 60 cents versus 51 cents.
Sales climbed 4.6% to $22.72 billion. Excluding fuel sales, revenue was up 3.9%.
Analysts were looking for per-share earnings of 60 cents and revenue of $22.71 billion.
Operating margin widened a hair to 2.6% from 2.5%.
Identical-store sales, which includes locations open at least 15 months, were up 4%, or 3.3% excluding fuel sales.
Kroger, which also operates other stores like Ralphs and Food 4 Less, backed its full-year earnings view but raised its annual guidance for identical-supermarket sales growth, excluding fuel. The Cincinnati-based company now expects growth of 3% to 3.5%, compared to its previous view of 2.5% to 3.5%.
In June, Kroger announced a $2.44 billion deal to buy fellow U.S. grocery chain Harris Teeter Supermarkets (NASDAQ:HTSI), which operates 200 high-end grocery stores. The move also gives Kroger a larger footprint in the Southeast.

Academic journal article Military Review
History Makers: Interviews
Article excerpt
HISTORY MAKERS: Interviews, Fred Schultz, ed., Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD, 2000, 256 pages, $27.95.
The U.S. Naval Institute publishes Naval History, which features interviews with interesting people tied in one way or another to the U.S. Navy or the sea. David McCullough writes about it; Jean-Michel Cousteau lives for it; Ken Burns films it. Many of the interviewees are U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps careerists or veterans. History Makers, edited by Fred Schultz, is a collection of some of the better interviews from 1995 through 2000. Interviewees include historians, underwater explorers and exploiters, newsmen, actors and filmmakers, military and political leaders, and a couple of astronauts. Included are Ernest Borgnine, William Crowe, Dick Cheney, Art Buchwald, Tom Brokaw, and Shelby Foote, Jr., among others.
In one of the stronger interviews, pilot and astronaut William F. Readdy talks about his time in the A-- 6, the Russian space program, his shuttle experiences, and the general development of the U.S. Shuttle Program from a military to a scientific or technical one. He gives his views on the Program's future; mankind's future in space, including the prospects for a manned trip to Mars and Russian-American cooperation; and career prospects in space for today's youth. He also draws an interesting analogy between landing the shuttle and landing on an aircraft carrier.
Sometimes, the interviews end just as they are getting interesting. For some of the lightweights, such as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. …

By Steven E. Schier
If you want to get a good laugh out of Canadian university students, just show them a copy of a 2002 Minnesota general election ballot. Last fall I taught courses on American politics at York University in Toronto, and no subject so interested my students as the many singular features of our peculiar electoral system.
The more my students learned about American and Minnesotan electoral democracy, the less impressed they were. They tended to conclude that American elections are far too confusing to voters and are not well designed to help voters shape the future course of their government.
Consider my local 2002 Rice County ballot. It had 39 races -- for federal and state legislative offices, state constitutional offices, county offices, school board, city offices and 18 judicial elections.
My Canadian students wondered how any voter could negotiate those choices knowledgeably. I had to admit, voters cannot. I told them that I voted in only 21 of the 39 races, because I had no idea about the other 18. In 2000, the ballot gave me 26 choices and I only voted in nine, having no knowledge about the other 17.
My students found it odd that Minnesota would ask voters to make so many choices, when even a political science professor who makes his living studying elections could not vote knowledgeably in half or more of them.
Minnesota's judicial elections were a particular hoot to the Canadians. I explained that Minnesota puts state judges up for election but that traditionally state law had prevented candidates from campaigning for judicial office, essentially requiring voters to choose in ignorance. They questioned the wisdom of electing judges, which happens nowhere in Canada, and could not see the logic of elections without campaigns. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with them, recently declaring Minnesota's ban on judicial campaigns a violation of the free-speech rights of candidates.
My Canadian students -- as do citizens of most constitutional democracies -- think of politics as a team sport. The teams are political parties, and it is the voters' job to decide which party should direct the government. As in most other constitutional democracies, the ballot in Canadian national elections easily allows voters to pick a team.
In a national election, Canadians have one choice -- concerning who shall be their local representative in the national legislature. The ballot prominently lists the party affiliation of the legislative candidates. Voters usually choose among the five national parties that regularly win seats in the legislature. In their parliamentary system, the party that wins the majority of national legislative seats gains control of both the national legislative and executive branches. The same system operates in provincial elections. One good result: Voters select a clearly identifiable team to run government and can easily hold that team accountable at the next election.
In contrast, Minnesota elections are riots of individualism. Minnesota's ballot presents candidates' names much more prominently than the names of their parties. It makes straight-ticket voting an ordeal by requiring voters to follow the small print from office to office on the ballot to vote for candidates of the same party.
Why is Minnesota's ballot plagued by too many contests and an inadequate presentation of candidates' partisan affiliation? These are consequences of the Progressive reform movement of the early 20th century, a movement that is uniquely American.
The goal of the movement was to remove party corruption in government, but it went too far. Ballot reforms took appointment powers from partisan officials and made too many offices elective. Minnesota's ballot makes it hard for us to elect a single party as a governing team -- and we seldom do.
As one of my Canadian students wrote in her final essay: "[I]t is difficult to understand how Americans have gained better control of their government by casting long, complex ballots for individualistic candidates. The system asks too much of voters, and therefore actually weakens popular control of government. An ignorant vote provides no better control of government than no vote at all."
Gov.-elect Tim Pawlenty and the new Legislature should rethink Minnesota's ballot. Sometimes, less is more. Fewer choices might actually increase popular control of government. That is one lesson I learned in Canada.

Making room:
With Oscar's animation race expanding from three to five movies (thanks to the last-minute release of Spain's "The Missing Lynx"), the scrambling is really on. "Up," "Coraline" and "Ponyo" look safer than ever, but is there now room for "The Princess and the Frog" or "9"?

He stepped out into the cold, dark night. The air smelled fresh after the storm. He gasped as the cold air sliced through his throat, his breath dissipating from a cloud of steam. He wrapped himself more tightly into his black cape, and ventured forward into the night. The sounds of his feet crushing the pebbles underneath, the ravens spilling out their haunting call, his own breath quivering in the icy atmosphere - these noises chilled him even further. Shook his spine and froze his heart. He stopped suddenly. As if he could take no more, as if the world's conspiracy against him on this dark night had taken its final toll on his vulnerable soul. A distant sheet of lightning cracked through the sky, briefly lighting a tortured, hallowed face floating directly in front of him, mirroring his own. He leapt back in fright and nearly lost his balance, but his cold, slowed brain caught him on the edge of the abyss.
He knelt down, perhaps for balance, perhaps for warmth, and faced that awful visage that had accosted him. His mouth twisted into a smile as, by the very faint light of the stars, he recognised the face of his pumpkin, lovingly carved by his own hand earlier that day. He reached that same hand, now numbed, into his pocket, and groped around for the small candle and the box of matches he had brought.
Eventually, his breath almost freezing in the crisp air, he emptied the contents of his pocket onto the floor. He reached up for the pumpkin, which was lying atop a small stone column, like an altar, hidden by a holly bush, and grabbed at it with his enfeebled hands.
The sky was riven by another vicious bolt of lightning, accompanied by...

some german accent available here
Sent you a PM Killswitch.
Mixed in with reply to other stuff we were chatting about so be sure to read it xD
Either way I'm down for some voice acting.
Edit: Big arcade shmup fan I will bother you till you let me help!
Though my tastes for shmups are a bit overly refined I'd still be happy to lend a voice.
some german accent available here
Wow, you guys stepped up more than I expected. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Even if the contest version of this game ends up being cut down just to get the game done and out, I will still add the cutscenes and voices for the OUYA version.
Obviously lacking 2 others who I will have to hunt for.
I wouldn't mind giving this a shot - I already take part in a podcast, why not try out some VO work too?
My Youtube Channel - check out hundreds of OUYA vids -
Lets fight time itself BABY!
I forgot about that competition I wonder if I could manage some lack luster last minute thing myself lol
Probably not xD
Happy to help and best of luck.
I was expecting maybe 1 or 2 answers not 7. That's actually more than I would have needed...I may have to add to the game idea just to get you guys in.
I really do appreciate you guys stepping up.
Shadow, obviously I responded. You said more in those PMs than you have on the forum
You have given me some things to think about too.
I would help out but I sound like a pre-pubescent 14 year old 9th grader who only plays cod, watches family guy, and never seen a vhs tape but claims to be a 90s kid.
Signature Pending...
Never know sometimes a younger voice can be needed depending on the story.
Eh, 90s weren't all that different.
The TV version was wrong though no one actually talked or dressed like that.
Suddenly I want to make a sandbox 90s simulator lol
Anyway don't count yourself short never know what kinda voices can be needed sometimes.
If you really want to do voice acting professionally they told me plenty of times at my radio job to practice a lot and study voice techniques.
Its all out there on the net these days lol.

Greatest Cricketers Of PerpetuityCricket history teems with exceptionally gifted cricketers and a lot of them have actually been remarkable. Let us attempt and determine the greatest cricketers of all time that have graced the field of cricket. It does not review their personal success. It is simply about how excellent cricketers they were. A higher cricketer does not always indicate a greater human than a lesser cricketer in the list or vise versa. The list is purely on cricketing skills.
1. Gary Sobers: Perhaps the best cricketer of perpetuity that has actually ever played the game of cricket as declared by many related to the game of cricket which was exactly what the instinct recommends if you look at his abilities and statistic. Ability to play as long as to score 365 runs in test cricket, struck 6 times over the rope in a single over, wind up with a test average of more than a lot of the fantastic batsmen in the history of the game, be a fielder of class, and then being able to contribute with bowling, and you left questioning if there is anything in cricket that he might refrain from doing which is what makes him the greatest all round cricketer and the best cricketer of them all. He might have made a location in any terrific team only for his batting. He was skillful and flexible as a bowler. He is recorded to have actually bowled speed also slow bowling. He chipped in often times with his bowling and fielding. Things with all rounders is that it is like having the advantage of playing an extra player in the team. Simply look about how numerous cricketers have scored a triple hundred in test match cricket. There are only three circumstances of 6 6s being hit in a single over in the history of first class and Global cricket. There have actually been hardly a dozen of cricketers throughout the history of the game who might be hailed as all rounder of class and compound, and Gary is thought about the very best of them all. You keep on counting. The list goes on.
2. Don Bradman: Probably as strong a competitor as Gary Sobers to be called as the biggest cricketer of all time. Don Bradman's exceptional test average of almost 100 runs makes him a standout cricketer. If you think about the rarity of that task of having an average of practically 100 runs, Don Bradman should be the best cricketer of perpetuity. Where Gary scores over him is probably being able to contribute substantially in every department of the video game. Otherwise I do not see any gap between Gary Sobers and Don Bradman as the 2 biggest cricketers of all time. But once more you question he needs to be exceptional to be able to average 100 runs per innings. All those excellent batsmen throughout the history of the video game who have played considerable variety of tests has actually not exceeded an average of in 60s, and many of these so called greats have actually averaged between 50s and 60s. So to beat the next finest in your category by 40 % is quite unthinkable in any sport. Because sense Don Bradman can be considered not only the best cricketer of all time, but likewise the best sportsman of all time. To top it off he scored those virtually 100 runs per innings in those days of hostile pitches and raw devices. Everyone knows how bats and other cricket devices have evolved throughout the years. The distinction between the bats of today and the bats of state about 20 years ago is fairly visible. What type of bats Don Bradman must have had fun with. Some people say Don used couple of grounds, and hence have such record. However even the worse of the pitches today amongst the lots of grounds on which cricket is played must be much better than the pitches on which Don played. If that was the criteria, why none of the players of even his age could manage approximately even into 70s. All those contemporary greats of 90s and 00s could handle an average in 50s with all those well established bat and other cricketing equipment on benign and batting friendly pitches. The pitches one consuminged to see even throughout the 70s and 80s were much challenging to bat on as compared to the pitches prepared today. If that is an indicator what kind of pitches Don have to have batted on. He still stays the only player to have actually scored a 300 runs in a single day of a test match.
3. Imran Khan: If Gary Sobers might do everything in the game of cricket then Imran might do much more as a captain. Imran Khan could have click for more info made a place in any leading side simply as a bowler, and is one of the greatest quick bowlers of all time. In addition he was as good as any friendly International batsman. He was a great fielder too. He might win matches with his bowling, contribute significantly as a batsman, and might make considerable contribution as the leader of the pack. He is considered the very best among the greatest all rounders of his time who themselves are amongst some of the best cricketers of perpetuity. There have not been too lots of bowlers who were better than him, and amongst the bowlers who may have been slightly much better than him, few are known for their batting abilities. Wasim Akram was better bowler than Imran, however Imran was more reliable batsman than Akram, and may be Richard Hadlee was a much better bowler than Imran, but Imran undoubtedly excelled him as a batsman, and excelled everyone because all rounders category as a captain. Lots of people will disagree with me on putting Imran Khan ahead of Vivian Richards. My logic is if Gary Sobers might be greater than Don Bradman, reasoning says Imran Khan needs to be greater than Vivian Richards as a cricketer. But it is so tough to accurately determine the talent of the gamers and their value to the group. It is like you can put Don Bradman ahead of Gary Sobers without much fuss. You can too put Vivian Richards ahead of Imran Khan in the list. But due to the fact that of Imran Khan's enormous contribution in every department of the video game, I went with Imran Khan at # 3 in the list of greatest cricketers of perpetuity.

Note – Listen to last night's final episode of Twins Minor League Weekly where Travis Aune and I talked about everything throughout the Twins minor league season. We discussed our choices as top players for each team and in the organization, how each team did, and much, much more. Check it out here!
As games finished on Labor Day in the Twins minor league system, the Twins minor league season came to an end. New Britain had an opportunity to make the playoffs had Reading lost and the Rock Cats won. Unfortunately, the R-Phillies won their game. The Elizabethton Twins were the lone playoff team in the organization, although they lost in the first round. It was a disappointing season in the Twins farm system. However, there are a lot of guys who had very good seasons. Today, I'll present for you my choices for the Twins Minor League Hitter, Starting Pitcher and Relief Pitcher of the Year in three separate blog entries. We will start with the Relief Pitchers. Feel free to debate them, or ask any questions you may have in the Comments section:
Starting Pitcher of the Year
There were a lot more good hitters up for Hitter of the Year consideration, or at least mention, than there were pitchers this year. There will be more of a countdown.
#10 – Aaron Bates – Rochester Red Wings (.316/.408/.439, with 23 doubles, 7 HR, 37 RBI)
Didn't even sign with the Red Wings until May, but played well throughout the season.
#9 – Oswaldo Arcia – Beloit Snappers/Ft. Myers Miracle (.291/.335/.531, with 23 doubles, 4 triples, 13 HR, 51 RBI)
Missed a month with elbow surgery, but came back and moved up to Ft. Myers. Great power to all fields. Very quick bat.
#8 – Michael Gonzales – Beloit Snappers (.289/.371/.468, with 27 doubles, 1 triple, 15 HR, 76 RBI)
Consistent performance in his second season with Snappers. Lost 30+ pounds, and his bat speed was much improved.
#7 – Chris Parmelee – New Britain Rock Cats (.287/.366/.436, with 30 doubles, 5 triples, 13 HR, 83 RBI)
2006 top pick finally gets that big league promotion today. He had a very solid, consistent season with the Rock Cats. He also improved his defense at 1B while still occasionally playing in RF.
#6 – Yangervis Solarte – New Britain Rock Cats (.329/.367/.466, with 36 doubles, 3 triples, 7 HR, 49 RBI)
The 24-year-old Venezuelan hit .300 or higher every month of the season. He also led the organization with 36 doubles.
#5 – Miguel Sano – Elizabethton Twins (.292/.352/.637, with 18 doubles, 7 triples, 20 HR, 59 RBI)
He had just 290 plate appearances, yet I just couldn't put him any lower on the list. Sano's 20 home runs is third-most in Elizabethton history. His 45 extra base hits led the team. At just 18 years old, it was a remarkable season for one of the team's brightest future stars.
#4 – Jairo Perez – Beloit Snappers (.337/.413/.580, with 20 doubles, 1 triple, 15 HR, 60 RBI)
Perez missed the entire 2010 season because of Tommy John surgery. His 2011 season didn't start until June, and yet when he was activated by the Snappers, he did nothing but hit the rest of the summer. Not a large man, Perez takes a huge swing and as you can see, he made a lot of contact in 2011.
#3 – Joe Benson – New Britain Rock Cats (.285/.388/.495, with 28 doubles, 4 triples, 16 HR, 67 RBI, 13 SB)
The Twins 2010 Minor League Hitter of the Year is certainly a candidate to repeat again in 2011 despite missing 4-5 weeks because of knee surgery. Benson is a remarkable athlete with tremendous power and speed. He had great range in the outfield and a very strong arm. The weak point in his game is his contact rate, which did improve significantly from 2010 to 2011. He was also promoted to the Twins and will be flying to Minneapolis on Tuesday. It would be great for him to be able to make his big league debut against his home town White Sox. Benson will be a key for the Twins in the next year or so.
#2 – Eddie Rosario – Elizabethton Twins (.337/.397/.670, with 9 doubles, 9 triples, 21 HR, 60 RBI, 17 SB)
It is hard to put a player from one of the short-season teams up this high on the list, but Rosario was the Appalachian League MVP this year and posted incredible numbers. His 21 home runs were just one shy of Paul Russo's E-Town single-season record. He also hits for average. He has great speed. Plays very good centerfield and has a canon for an arm. The Puerto Rico high school product drafted in the 4th round just one year ago will soon turn 20. After five homers in June and six homers in July, Rosario hit ten home runs in August. It will be interesting to see how his game translates to the full season.
Hitter of the Year – Brian Dozier – Ft. Myers Miracle (.320/.399/.491, with 33 doubles, 12 triples, 9 HR, 56 RBI, 24 SB)
Dozier was drafted as a senior out of the University of Southern Mississippi after leading his team to the College World Series. After signing, he hit .353/.417/.431 in Elizabethton. Last year, he started the season by hitting .278/.347/.338 in 39 games in Beloit. He was promoted to Ft. Myers where he hit .274/.352/.354 with 11 doubles and his first five pro home runs. It was surprising when he received an invitation to big league spring training but he made a strong showing. He returned to Ft. Myers and hit .322/.423/.472 with 11 doubles, five triples and two home runs in 49 games. He then moved up to New Britain and hit .318/.384/.502 with 22 doubles, seven triples and seven home runs in 78 games. His .885 OPS led the Rock Cats (Benson was at .883). Dozier is not the fastest runner, but he stole 24 bases. He is said to have average range and an average arm, but pitchers I have talked to that have had Dozier playing behind him, love it. Dozier will be representing the Twins in the Arizona Fall League. He will likely receive another invitation to big league camp next year, and depending upon what other moves that Twins make in the offseason, he could make his debut with the Twins any time in 2012!

To celebrate World Ocean's Day on June 8th, Clean Ocean Action participated with global organizations for the inaugural Microplastics Awareness Week. In partnership with the Microplastics Working Group of USEPA Region 2's Trash Free Waters (TFW) Program, COA supporters were educated on the topic of microplastics through social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
In addition to highlighting microplastics as a whole, the awareness week was an opportunity to share current research projects in the region. For example, COA's research reached the public for the first time through social outlets.
For Background: In January 2014, COA put together a committee of international and national scientists to establish a model for marine microplastics assessments. In collaboration with this research team, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), COA launched the first statewide microplastics research study in New Jersey. Multiple samples were collected at 32 locations from Sandy Hook to Cape May. Analysis of the water and sand samples is underway and expected to be completed this year.
EPA Region 2's Trash Free Waters was established in 2014 as a means to identify a focused set of actions that support trash prevention and reduction initiatives by many public and private participants. These organizations, agencies, businesses and students decided to focus TFW initiatives to combat the plastic plague. The group is tackling the issue in the following five categories: boxes, microplastics, cigarette butts, bottles, and bags. Catie Tobin, COA's Marine Science Program Manager is the lead person for the microplastics working group which is highlighting research being done in EPA Region 2 with a goal of data standardization.
Overall, the first Microplastics Awareness Week was a success and groundbreaking means to excite citizens through social sharing and media networking.

Women We Love: My Mother
I know it's cliche for my mother to be the first woman recognized in this series, but what you may see as cliche, I see as pure fact. So here it goes...
My mother was born in Jackson, MS in the late 1940s. The youngest child of four, her early formative years were spent living in Jackson and in rural Learned, MS, where my great grandparents had a thriving farm. When my mother was young, her only brother, Selvin, drowned. Later, I was named after Uncle Selvin, thus my middle name. I never thought of the impact that the death of a sibling would have on anyone, let alone my mother. If we are fortunate, we don't have to deal with that kind of thing until later in life. But my mother dealt with it in her youth. I didn't think of its full impact until I read a poem that she wrote about him. Oh yes, my mother is a naturally talented and gifted writer as well...
Sixteeen years old
and drowned
just when he began
to wear his pants low
showing his bvd'.
drowned in the midst of
learning lyrics to
"Short Fat Fanny"
awkwardly attempting the
latest dance steps
on mama's front porch
a tall, lean body
silouetted in the moonlight
practicing perfect hoops
just after
meeting Debra,
an angel
come down from
Chicago to visit
kin folks
Debra whom he said
"looked like
an angel, baby!"
To know he knew
the love of a young girl
just before being
an angel came
for him
in some consolation.
- Hazel Lou
Deep wasn't it? That's my mother. After being a member of the National Honor Society, and graduating as the Valedictorian of Holy Ghost High School in Jackson, she enrolled at Jackson State College (later University). While at Jackson State, she was a cheerleader, pledged as a member of the Gamma Rho Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and travelled on domestic exchange to take courses at Harvard, Yale, Columbia and SUNY Binghamton. After her graduation from Jackson State, she taught classes there in her field, English. She used to tell me stories about teaching members of the football team, and how they wanted to do well, but would give her a hard time. After she left Jackson State, she pursued her graduate studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI. While she was pursuing her Masters degree there, she met an undergrad named Joseph Carlos. Later, they began dating, and in 1970, on this date, they were married in Jackson, Mississippi's Northside Baptist Church.
When they first got married, they both taught at a junior college in Mississippi. In 1973, her husband started medical school at Michigan State University. In September of 1974, she gave birth to her first child, Joseph Selvin, a 9 pound 5 ounce, bouncing, brown bundle of joy. During Joseph's early years, she taught in Lansing and Grand Rapids, MI until 1977 when her husband graduated from medical school, and began his residency in Dallas, TX at Parkland Hospital. I can remember that ride from Michigan like yesterday. I remember being in our Volkswagen Beetle, for hours. Longer than I'd ever been in a car in my life. My mother had sandwiches for days it seemed like, and when we got to Dallas, I remember eating in a cafe' called JoJo's. We had a two bedroom apartment at Northall Manor in North Dallas. At the time, my mother was pregnant with my brother, and in February of 1978, a few days after the Cowboys had won their second Super Bowl, Jordan Edward was born in the world at 7:47pm weighing in at 10 pounds 2 oz.
When I was growing up, my mother made our apartment in North Dallas so warm, it seemed like the biggest place I'd ever seen. It's hard to describe it, but everything we wanted or needed we definitely had, and my mother and father saw to it. My mother took a position teaching English at nearby Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch, TX. I went to the child development center, as did my brother. Shortly after my year there, I tested for and was accepted at The Greenhill School, where I began pre-Kindergarten. I don't quite know how my mother and father afforded the tuition on a resident's salary and a college teacher's salary but they did.

(Eds: Recasting overnight story)
New Delhi, Sep 10 (PTI) A five-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a peon inside the premises of a private school in Shahdara here, the police said.
The accused, identified as Vikas (40), has been arrested, said Nupur Prasad, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Shahdara.
The incident came a day after a seven-year-old boy had his throat slit for allegedly resisting sexual assault by a bus conductor of a Gurgaon school -- an incident which sent shock waves across the country.
Vikas had been working in the school for the last three years. Previously he worked as a security guard there, the police said.
He took the girl inside an empty classroom around noon yesterday when he was walking on the corridors after handing over lunch boxes to teachers, the police said.
After raping the girl, he threatened her of dire consequences, they added.
The girl later complained of bleeding and pain in her private parts to her mother. She was taken to a hospital where her medical examination confirmed sexual assault, the police said.
Traumatised by the incident, the 5-year-old was sent for counselling.
According to the police, the child said during counselling that she was assaulted by "a man wearing a cap" and also described his physical attributes.
It was on the basis of this description that Vikas was nabbed, the police said. PTI SLB KIS BSA

Disney Dances With the Undead
In a wide-ranging interview with Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige confirmed that Ghost Rider and Blade, two characters from the darker portions of the comic book king's universe, are back in Walt Disney's hands.
Feige and his team have spent years negotiating the return of Marvel characters lost to unfavorable licensing deals. Seeing the demon-possessed Ghost Rider and vampire hunter Blade join Daredevil -- and earlier, The Punisher -- come back to the fold gives investors hope that Disney will find a way to keep even more of the profits from its Marvel franchises, Tim Beyers of Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Supernova says in the following video.
Audiences have been craving darker content for a while. Look at the success of The Walking Dead over at AMC Networks . While it's unlikely we'll see Marvel make a full-scale horror movie, no one will be surprised if Disney's front-office profit seekers push the boundaries of the PG-13 rating in bringing its undead stars back to life on the Big Screen, Tim says.
Would you like to see Disney dabble in the dark side? Please watch the video to get Tim's full take and then tell us how you'd reorganize the Marvel Cinematic Universe if you had Feige's job.
