Funny Friday!
|Lost little man and ballet class....this is where I found him! My sister asked, "What did you do!" I replied, "Took a picture of course!" I was giggling too much to get that mad. Hopefully it was an isolated incident :).
|Then my adorable little puppy brought me this! She was shaking it in her head and just came bounding into the house with it. I was not sure what my threshold for yucky was as a Mom...but this was it! So creeped out!
|It rained all day on Mia's birthday but she was determined to play with her new trampoline. This was her solution. Sun hat, bathing suit, and rain boots! Silly girl! Her brother eventually joined her and they had so much fun jumping in the rain!
Not pictured, but worth noting. Our silly puppy went sticking her nose where it does not belong (in a fire ant mound) yesterday morning. She was running around going crazy and whining. We we finally got to pick her up, we noticed her face was swelling up SO big! Quick trip to the vet for benadryl and steroids and she is much better now! Seems like we might have another allergy situation on our hands! of course our puppy would have allergies!
Whew! What a week! It was fun, crazy, and had no shortage of laughs!
Here's to a great (and hopefully uneventful) weekend!

Mia is 4!
My precious baby girl is 4! I have been emotional about this birthday for her not because I am sad to see my baby grow up, but more in awe of the amazing little person she is becoming. 3 had its challenges! More school, less naps, more freedom, less coddling, more responsibility, and less assistance. I am sure that will be a lifetime journey, but the transition from baby into little girl was not easy for either one of us.
She is through that now and grown so much in maturity. She loves her brother and helping me meet his needs and almost always has a willing, helpful heart!
Here are some things about Mia at 4 years old:
- she loves all things fruit and would live on that alone if we would let her
- she never turns down an opportunity to create or craft
- her heart is happiest when around other people (can we say extrovert yet???)
- She is totally into stuffed animals and NOT into baby dolls
- she empties the dishes, puts drinks away, and takes out the recycling for her chores
- she loves ballet class and wants to keep moving forward with dance
- she mainly drinks milk, but never turns down pink lemonade!
- she is much more comfortable in a spinny dress or skirt than pants or shorts
- she thinks strappy sandals are totally playground appropriate
- she says "totally" for emphasis (hmmm...wonder where she got that :) )
- her puppy is her new best friend
- she can memorize a memory verse in no time at all and enjoys it!
- she likes to ride her bike and drive her jeep
- when she gets TV time, she likes to watch Doc McStuffins
- her favorite books are Pinkalicious and Fancy Nancy. She has recently gotten into Gigi too.
- She loves edamame and broccoli, no hot dogs. Go figure!
- she likes her window down when riding in the car and kids praise music turned up!
- she loves make believe and fairytales and is SO disappointed that I married Daddy so she can't!
- She is dramatic! She says phrases like "it is just SO beautiful!" or "I can't believe it!" My personal favorite though is "It's ALL my fault!"
- she naps about every other day and will probably drop them completely this summer :(
- her heart is truly full of joy! She loves to get excited about the little things and I LOVE that about her.
She is not perfect, but she is perfect for me!

N° 11–2005: Benefits of space for all citizens
17 February 2005
Over 40 nations and around 20 international organisations, including ESA, have come together in Brussels for two days, today and tomorrow, to exchange views on policies related to international cooperation in space.
Entitled 'Winning through cooperation: sharing the benefits of space', the conference provides a forum for discussion between States capable of providing space technology – the supply side – and those willing to make use of it – the demand side. The conference was jointly organised by the European Commission and ESA in response to a perceived need to set up a platform for dialogue between the two sides.
The conference is also being attended by a strong contingent of representatives of the European space industry, which has become a key player on worldwide commercial markets in satellite manufacture, launch services and satellite operations.
Attending the conference, ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain stated: "The successful launch of Ariane 5 a few days ago (Saturday 12 February) brought us 'back to the future', boosting Europe's guaranteed access to space. And this outstanding achievement comes only a month after the discovery of a new world through the spectacular descent of ESA's science probe Huygens onto Titan.
These are just two concrete examples of international cooperation: Ariane shows what several European states have been able to accomplish together in 30 years of cooperation within ESA, while Huygens - reaching Titan after a 7-year journey on board NASA's Cassini mothership - can be listed among the flagships of the longstanding ESA/NASA cooperation, which also extends to many more spacefaring countries".
"Since 1975, the year of its foundation, ESA has been developing international cooperation, first within Europe and then beyond the boundaries of Europe. The US, Canada, Russia, Japan, China, India and most spacefaring countries are our partners, and we are ready to do more with our institutional partners worldwide and European space industry to further explore our Universe, and to better serve the needs of each citizen of the world in Earth Observation, Security, Telecommunications, Satellite Navigation, Meteorology and Space Science", added Dordain.
In recent years ESA has been cooperating increasingly with a new partner, the European Union, through the European Commission.
ESA, an independent European agency, is not part of the EU. Some countries that belong to the EU are not members of ESA and vice versa. There are, however, close ties between the two organisations and they share a common aim: to strengthen Europe and benefit its citizens.
Although ESA has had ties with the EU since the EU was formed, these have grown in recent years because of the increasing role of space in strengthening Europe's political and economic role. Recent joint initiatives include the European global navigation system Galileo and the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security suite of services, known as GMES. An upcoming initiative concerns satellite-based measures to overcome the digital divide within Europe.
The Commission has been involved in space for many years through its research programmes, but its role has recently been reinforced. Responsibility for space policy and space applications has been transferred from the Research Directorate-General to that for Enterprise and Industry, under the responsibility of Vice-President Günter Verheugen.
"The Commission is currently working on a proposal for a genuine European Space Policy. Reaching for the stars brings very down to earth benefits to our citizens and industry, from radio navigation, communication by satellite or early warning of natural disasters. We need to step up cooperation, on an EU scale level and internationally. Nobody can go it alone. The Commission also wants to substantially increase R&D efforts for space under the new R&D Framework Programme and we are assessing how to combine this with investment in appropriate public-private partnerships" said Vice-President Verheugen, Commissioner for Enterprise and Industry, in charge of competitiveness and space matters.
Note for Editors:
Strengthening ESA/EU relations
In March 2000 ESA commissioned a report (known as the "Wise Men's report") to examine the future needs of Europe in space and scenarios for the relationship between ESA and the EU.
In November that year the Councils of ESA and the EU met separately to adopt resolutions based on this document. These endorsed the setting up of a cooperative structure to bring together the ESA Executive and the European Commission. As a result, a high-level joint task force was set up to make proposals for the continuing development and implementation of the European Strategy for Space.
An ESA Ministerial Council meeting in November 2001 gave clear directions on the Agency's evolution and policy, and called for a Framework Agreement to formalise cooperation between ESA and the EU.
In January 2003 the Commission and ESA introduced a Green Paper on European Space Policy to look into Europe's strengths and weaknesses in the space sector in order to launch a debate on Europe's space policy with all players, including national and international organisations, the European space industry and its users, and Europe's scientific community and citizens.
In November 2003 the ESA Council adopted the Framework Agreement, previously endorsed by the EU Council in October 2003. This agreement recognises that both parties have specific complementary and mutually reinforcing strengths, and commits them to working together to avoid duplication of effort. It calls for the progressive development of a European space policy to link the demand for services and applications in support of EU policies with the supply, through ESA, of the space systems and infrastructure needed to meet that demand.
Also in November 2003 the Commission published a White Paper on Space. This action plan for implementing an expanded European space policy, drafted together with ESA, includes proposals for joint ESA-EC space activities and takes the Framework Agreement as its basis for implementation.
These agreements prepared the legal basis for cooperation between ESA and the EU, such as EU participation in ESA optional programmes and ESA management of EU space-related activities. ESA and the Commission will now be able to launch and fund joint projects, participate in each other's schemes, create joint management bodies, carry out joint studies, and jointly organise conferences and training of scientists.
In November 2004 the first ever European "Space Council" was held in Brussels. This was a major political milestone for Europe in Space, offering ministers representing the 27 European Union and/or European Space Agency Member States the first opportunity to jointly discuss the development of a coherent overall European space programme.
In the footprints of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, signed in October 2004 and for the first time defining "space" as a shared competence of the Union, the Space Council acknowledged the importance of space activities to a wide range of European policies.
The European Space Programme - expected to be endorsed by a Space Council session at the end of 2005 - will constitute a common platform including all activities and measures to be undertaken by the Commission, ESA and other stakeholders in order to achieve the objectives set by the European Space Policy.
Future cooperation is expected to cover areas such as science and technology, Earth observation, navigation, communications, human spaceflight and launchers. With all the benefits that cooperation brings, ESA is ready to play its role and encourage the increasing use of space to support European policies that improve the lives of its citizens.

What this year's women's track team has lacked in size they have made up for in quality. With a squad of just 4 runners, they have combined to set two new school records; both in the same day. Both records were set only 6 1/2 minutes apart when Ashley Macomb, Meghann DeVito, Tashan Barclay and Diana Baxter won the sprint medley relay and the distance medley relay at the Stevens Tech Relays on April 26th. Each of them can now focus on their personal goals of trying to qualify for the ECAC Championships at Springfield College on May 15-16. Their last chance to qualify is this weekend at the St. Johns University Invitational.
To date, the men's team has four individuals who have qualified for the ECAC's: the 4 by 100 meter relay team of David Humphrey, Art Driscoll, Elloy Cassell, and Jason Hernandez qualified when they took 4th place at the Collegiate Track Conference Championships. This group also ran a good 4 by 100 at the Penn Relays with Jermaine Johnson running in place of David Humphrey, and also represented Farmingdale respectably in the 4 by 400 as well. And closing out his college track career in style was Rob Williams who claimed his eighth straight race walking championship out of eight in the CTC Championships.

Category : Wed
No doubt about it that Mike & Sarah´s wedding in a private Villa in my lovely Puerto Vallarta Mexico; totally convince me to leave the night life (for almost 20 years working at big night-clubs as resident DJ) and become a Destination Weddings and Events DJ Specialist. I had the great pleasure to DJ the wedding of Mike Dirnt -Green Day bass guitarist- in the middle of the 90s, and I have to thank so much to my dear friends: Tamara Bradley and Lucie Aubert from Vallarta Incredible Weddings for giving me the opportunity to work for them in this great ocassion in particular and so many others.
When I received the phone call from the wedding planner asking me for availability for the wedding date and attend a site visit from a "VIP client"; I knew something really good will happen. When we got to the villa and waited for them to come downstaris at one of the terraces; I never thought that I will be meeting a celebrity!; we shake hands, I introduce myself, etc; then we have a little conversation about everything in general, then Mike asked "how many years you have been spinning around?"… I answered… several years… then he said: well everything is all set, we are ok!
The wedding from the beginning of the ceremony around 5:00 p.m; until the end of the reception around 4:00 am; was absolutely fantastic and great! guests dance all different genres and variety of songs… a great night to remember!!!, so I consider this wedding as my official destination wedding as a professional DJ for Destination Weddings & Events.
And that´s when started to take pictures of the Bride and Groom with me since then… in appreciation and the pleasure for being part of such great celebration.
Thank you very much Mike and Sarah!!!

I have decided to legally adopt my nephew and two stepchildren, as my nephew told me last night he wishes I'd been his father as he never had one. My stepdaughter and I have talked about it for years and her real father has never contacted her in the last 27 years. He pretty much divorced her when my wife divorced him for cheating on her. She want's me to adopt her even though she is an adult. I went ahead and gave my nephew my fathers high school ring the other day, as he is one of the few remaining members of my family. Wish me luck. Randy

James joined Whole Foods Market in 1986 where he initially focused on retail department design and merchandising- helping open more than 60 stores throughout the US. He has since expanded his interests to include the production and purchasing side of the business for fresh produce and floral. For James, produce is "still life- a physical manifestation of our seasonal cycles. Fresh fruits and vegetables connect us to our world in a way that is dynamic and ever changing. It is a way for us to celebrate the changing seasons and our changing world in a positive way every day." James is also a painter, fresh food chef and advocate, sometimes successful gardener, avid sand castle builder and pumpkin carver. He lives in Aptos, California with his wife Erin, son Aidan, daughter Delilah, and cat Harry.

State Rep. B.J. Nikkel not running again, avoids primary with fellow Republican
Another Republican incumbent is bowing out of a race with a fellow GOP lawmaker.
This time it's Rep. B.J. Nikkel, R-Loveland, who announced today she would not run against Rep. Brian DelGrosso, also a Loveland Republican, avoiding a primary later this year.
Her decision is the result of new, Democrat-drawn legislative districts approved by the Colorado Reapportionment Commission last year.
"While I am disappointed that Democrats on the Reapportionment Commission gerrymandered Brian and me into the same district, I am very proud of what we have accomplished in the state House," Nikkel said in a statement. "This year, I look forward to continuing to serve my constituents and the people of Colorado by building a better Colorado for them."

Maspalomas is one of the European gay-friendly destinations preferred by the gay community thanks to its diversity, tolerance, year-round good weather and fun. It is located in San Bartolomé de Tirajana in southern Gran Canaria, and together with the Playa del Inglés beach, it makes up a paradisical coast (with several nudist and gay areas) and boasts a nightlife full of various types of clubs where all are welcome.If you travel in May you can celebrate Gay Pride Maspalomas along with thousands of others: you'll see live shows, enjoy the massive parades and go out until the early hours of the morning. You're also sure to like the Maspalomas International Carnival (usually held in March) and the fantasy designs and spike heels of its Drag Gala.And if after so much celebrating you feel like relaxing and pampering your body, you can always go to one of the many spas of the area and enjoy the Finnish sauna or a Turkish bath with aromatherapy.

My son is just like a gift from God, I love him dearly. Recently I just gave a speech, the title is "Lesson From My Son"
Lesson from my Son
Ladies and Gentlemen. What would come to your mind, when I mention "a four year old little boy", Adorable? Cute? Cuddly? But one thing really stands out, he never stops asking questions, in fact, he never stops at anything, he just never, never gives up.
One day, my son and I went to Costco. When we passed this toy aisle, he stopped and stared at this toy. "Daddy, Can I have this Power Ranger Mystic Force?" "No" "Daddy, Please!" "No!" I grabbed his hand and dragged him away. One week later, we returned to the same store. The moment we walked into the store, he immediately ran away, "Where is he going?" I wondered, but I had to run after him. He stopped at the exact same spot holding this toy. "Daddy, Can I have this Mystic Force, please? I am your best friend." "No". As I was bending down to put the toy away, he quickly put his little arms around my neck, "Daddy, I love you" "Umma" "Umma". I looked at him thinking to myself, "You just never give up, do you?!". Here comes the power ranger mystic force.
One day before my son turned 5, and two days after I took the training wheels off his bike. I decided to take him off road for a joy ride. As I expected, he just loved the rough ride on this dirt road. "Bombu, Bombu, …". Every time he went over a pothole, he was so excited, "Daddy, look". Looking at him, I was filled with fatherly pride and joy. "Bombu, Bombu, …" "Bang!", "This does not sounds right". I looked over and saw my son laid flat on his face with his bike over his body. I waited, hoping that he would just get up and ride again like he always did. I waited and waited, after a few agonizing moment, he was still not moving. This did not look right, so I started walking towards him. As I were getting closer, I saw my son raised his head and saw me coming, "Wa….", suddenly, he bursted into this gigantic cry. My heart sunk, I dashed to his side at speed faster than light. I got him up and hold him in my arm, and I saw his bloody nose. I quickly took out my disaster recovery plan, it said "your wife is going to kill you". My heart sunk even further. I looked at my son in my arm and asked, "Are you OK", "Yah"; "Can you ride your bike?" "No"; "Can you walk?", "Yah". As we were walking home silently, thousand thoughts went through my head, my fatherly pride and joy turned into fatherly guilt. I shouldn't, I shouldn't!! Then I heard this little voice "Daddy, I want to ride the bike." I could not believe what I just heard, "Son, you want to ride again ?!", "Yes, Daddy", "Are you sure?!" "Yes! Daddy!" . Off you go, "Bombu, Bombu, …" "Yah, this is my son". My fatherly pride and joy returned in full. Here comes my little hero.
So next time when you stumble and fall, get up even you had to cry for help, just never, never give up.
British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, once said, "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense". Without his conviction, the outcome of the World War II might be completely different; without his conviction, the world we live today might be completely different.
"Never, never, never, never give up", this is the conviction of a great man, and this IS the lesson from my son.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Florida sheriff's office that investigated the disappearance of Casey Anthony's 2-year-old daughter overlooked evidence that someone in their home did a Google search for "fool-proof" suffocation methods on the day the girl was last seen alive.
Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said Sunday that the office's computer investigator missed the June 16, 2008, search. The agency's admission was first reported by Orlando television station WKMG. It's not known who performed the search. The station reported it was done on a browser primarily used by the 2-year-old's mother, Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of the girl's murder in 2011.
Anthony's attorneys argued during trial that Casey Anthony helped her father, George Anthony, cover up the girl's drowning in the family pool.
WKMG reported that sheriff's investigators pulled 17 vague entries only from the computer's Internet Explorer browser, not the Mozilla Firefox browser commonly used by Casey Anthony. More than 1,200 Firefox entries, including the suffocation search, were overlooked.
Whoever conducted the Goo-gle search looked for the term "fool-proof suffication," misspelling "suffocation," and then clicked on an article about suicide that discussed taking poison and putting a bag over one's head.
The browser then recorded activity on the social-networking site MySpace, which was used by Casey Anthony but not her father.
A computer expert for Anthony's defense team found the search before the trial. Her lead attorney, Jose Baez, first mentioned the search in his book about the case but suggested it was George Anthony who conducted the search after Caylee drowned because he wanted to kill himself.
Not knowing about the computer search, prosecutors had argued Caylee was poisoned with chloroform and then suffocated with duct tape placed over her mouth and nose. The girl's body was found six months after she disappeared in a field near the family home and was too decomposed for an exact cause of death to be determined.
Prosecutors Linda Drane Burdick and Jeff Ashton didn't respond to e-mails from The Associated Press on Sunday.
But Ashton told WKMG that "it's just a shame we didn't have it. This certainly would have put the accidental-death claim in serious question."

Federal law enforcement officials began collecting evidence from the formerly booby-trapped apartment of the suspected Colorado movie gunman on Sunday, NBC News reported.
Authorities took photographs, collected physical and documentary evidence, and began interviewing known associates of the alleged gunman and 80 people who have called a tip line, as they work to uncover a possible motive for the shooting, according to NBC News.
On Saturday, local and federal officials successfully removed explosive materials suspect James Eagan Holmes had left in his apartment before driving to the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo., where he allegedly went on an early Friday shooting rampage, killing 12 and wounding 58.
U.S. & World
A cache of explosives from the rigged apartment was transported to a remote desert area and detonated, according to NBC News.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters that he believed the rigged apartment targeted the police and was "sure as hell" the suspect intended to kill whoever opened the front door.
"This was certainly challenging," said FBI agent Jim Yacone on Saturday, explaining how officials had to use a robot to disarm a trip wire and bomb.
Yacone also added that "an extensive amount of evidence is in the process of being collected."
Over a four-month period beginning in early May, Holmes began legally purchasing weapons and ammunition, authorities said. Cops confiscated the stockpile at the Century 16 Movie Theaters complex, where Holmes was taken into custody shortly after the mass shooting, NBC News reported.
Holmes has retained legal counsel and was scheduled to appear in Arapahoe District Court Monday at 8:30 a.m. He has not been cooperating with authorities, NBC News reported.

Before moving to Aurora, Holmes was a top-notch college student who seemed to lose his way after leaving home in San Diego to pursue a PhD, friends and associates say.
Holmes ended up at the University of Colorado Medical School's campus in Aurora, where he reportedly fell behind on his work in recent months and was planning to drop out. In class, he became "strangely quiet" and seemed "socially off," a faculty member told the Washington Post.
When news of the mass shooting reached Holmes' hometown, neighbors and former classmates were aghast.
"He was shy and a little quiet, but he was never aggressive or mean," Sumit Shah, who attended Westview High School with Holmes, told NBC San Diego.
"It's kind of weird to see him go from the guy I knew to somebody who would kill 12 people and counting."
Holmes graduated from Westview High School in San Diego in 2006 and back then went by the name Jimmy, classmate Sumit Shah told NBC 4 New York.
"I knew him pretty well, we were friendly," Shah said. "He was pretty shy, but once he got comfortable with you he was the funniest, smartest guy … He always had something witty to say."
Shah said he was shocked that his former classmate was "The Dark Knight" shooting suspect.
"The guy I knew in high school, I don't understand how that could be the same guy," he said.
Holmes' uncle, also named James Holmes, said his nephew was a "nerd" and an "unassuming kid."

After high school, Holmes attended the University of California at Riverside, where he majored in neuroscience and graduated with honors in 2010. But when he returned home, had had trouble finding work, NBC San Diego reported.
In 2008, Holmes worked as a camp counselor in Los Angeles County that was run by Jewish Big Brothers and Sisters, the group's CEO confirmed to NBC4 on Saturday. The shooting suspect was a cabin counselor at Camp Max Straus during the summer of 2008, Randy Schwab, the CEO of Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters said in a statement to NBC4.
As cabin counselor, he was responsible for the care and guidance of a group of about 10 children, according to Schwab.
"It is with shock and sorrow that we learned of the incident in Aurora," said Schwab. "Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends of those involved in this horrible tragedy.
"On behalf of Camp Max Straus I want to offer our deepest sympathies and condolences."
In Aurora, Holmes lived in an apartment building reserved for students and faculty of the medical school. On his rental application he reportedly described himself as "quiet and easy going," the Denver Post reported. A neighbor told the paper that Holmes kept to himself.
Holmes' family in San Diego said in a statement their "hearts go out" to those involved in the tragedy.
Witnesses and police said the gunman had stood at the front of the theater, threw some type of gas then fired into the crowd about 12:30 a.m. MDT.
Moviegoers spoke of their terror as gunfire broke out during a shootout scene. At first some mistook the gunman for a planned part of the show — then "mass chaos" broke out.
"Everybody thought it was a joke or something," witness Skye Kim told Denver's NBC affiliate 9 News.
Benjamin Fernandez, 30, told the Denver Post that he heard a series of explosions. He said that people ran from the theater and there were gunshots as police shouted "get down!"
Fernandez said he saw people falling, including one young girl.
Jordan told the paper that one girl was struck in cheek, others in stomach including a girl who looked to be around 9-years-old.
Jordan said it sounded like firecrackers until someone ran into Theater 8 yelling "they're shooting out here!"
President Barack Obama said in a statement he was "shocked and saddened" by the attack and later offered a moment of silence during a brief campaign appearance in Fort Myers, Fla.
"This morning we woke up to news of a tragedy that reminds us of all the ways that we are united as one American family," Obama said.
Mitt Romney also released a statement after the shooting, saying he and wife Ann Romney were "deeply saddened by the news of the senseless violence."
"Today is a moment to grieve and to remember, to reach out and help, to appreciate our blessings in life," Romney said later at a campaign appearance in New Hampshire.
Police Chief Oates said officers were working to get a confirmed list of the deceased before beginning the "agonizing process" of meeting with the families of victims. Grief counselors would be on hand through the weekend in Aurora, he added.
On Saturday, a 6-year-old girl was confirmed to have been among the victims of the shooting. Veronica Moser died Friday morning in the shooting rampage, her great-aunt, Annie Dalton, told NBC News. Veronica's mother, Ashley Moser, 25, was shot in the neck and abdomen. She remains paralyzed and hasn't been told of her daughter's death, Dalton said.
Navy officials confirmed on Saturday that Petty Officer Third Class John Larimer, 27, of Crystal Lake, Ill., died from injuries sustained in the mass shooting, NBC News reported. Another sailor was treated for injuries and released at the scene.
"I am incredibly saddened by the loss of Petty Officer John Larimer--he was an outstanding shipmate," said Cmdr. Jeffrey Jakuboski, Larimer's commanding officer. "A valued member of our Navy team, he will be missed by all who knew him. My heart goes out to John's family, friends and loved ones, as well as to all victims of this horrible tragedy."
The first confirmed victim was Jessica Ghawi, an aspiring sportscaster who survived a June 2 mass shooting at a mall in Toronto in which two people were killed and seven others injured. She blogged under the name Jessica Redfield.
Late Friday, the family of Alex Sullivan, 27, said in a statement that he was among the dead, the Denver Post and The Associated Press reported. Photographs taken earlier Friday showed Sullivan's father, Tom, grieving and pleading for information about his son.
The reamining victims, Alexander J. Boik, 18, Jesse E. Childress, 29, Jonathan T. Blunk, 26, Rebecca Ann Wingo, 33, Gordon W. Cowden, 51, Micayla C. Medek, 23 and Alexander C. Teves, 24 were identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office on Saturday afternoon.
Warner Bros., the studio behind "The Dark Knight Rises," said in a statement the company and filmmakers were "deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time."
Tim Warner, the president and CEO of Cinemark, which owns the Aurora movie theater where the shooting took place, said his prayers were with the victims and their families.
"This is just a huge, huge tragedy. For me personally, this is very heartbreaking. I just feel devastated," he told NBC DFW.

WINGATE, N.C. - Battling injuries and illnesses the past few weeks, the Georgia College & State University men's cross country team gutted out an 11th-place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship today (Nov. 7), hosted by Wingate University.
Sophomore Rob Manning (Lawrenceville, Ga.) led Georgia College in 45th overall, posting a 35:08 time in the 10K race. Already the school record holder in the distance, Manning's time was good for eighth on the all-time list.
Junior Tim Cary (Monroe, Ga.) provided support in 72nd overall (36:10). Sophomores Travis Knight (Oxford, Ga.) and Colin Conroy (Dacula, Ga.) took 75th and 76th respectively. Knight covered the course in 36:23, a time matched by Conroy.
Senior Josh Hollar (Canton, Ga.) was 83rd in 36:38 to finish the Bobcat top five.
The 'Cats had 342 team points, 74 out of the top 10, and behind Mount Olive College. Queens (N.C.) University beat Peach Belt Conference (PBC) school Columbus State University for the team title 28-70.

Bernie Sanders joined Larry David on "Saturday Night Live" and the result was pretty, pretty, pretty good.
But first David began his "SNL" monologue as host with the signature laid-back, self-deprecating style that has made the "Seinfeld" co-creator a household name.
David said he was shocked he was a host when he considers himself more of a guest, and never a good one.
"I'm supposed to say we have a great show tonight but why raise expectations? Why else would we be here?" he said. David went on to riff that he used to be a "poor schmuck" before becoming a "rich prick" and he doesn't have a problem with women dating him because he has money and is on television.
"Why else" would a woman go out with an old, bald man like himself, the 68-year-old joked.
For his first sketch David took us back to his hit HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm" but this version was "Bern Your Enthusiasm" where David played Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. He was surrounded by campaign staffer versions of the characters portrayed on "Curb."
In typical David fashion, "Sanders" managed to insult, offend, and annoy everyone he came in contact with by simply being himself. And as always, it came back to haunt him.
This time his actions disenchanted five potential voters, who later cost him the Iowa caucus. He had alienated the family of a supporter in a rope line by refusing to shake her hand after she coughed. "Sanders" lost another vote by refusing to "pop" back in the shoulder of a voter who dislocated it in a car accident.
"I'm from Brooklyn. We don't pop in Brooklyn," David said.
It was a photo finish when all five were unveiled as Hillary Clinton supporters, with only David's Sanders to blame.
The real Bernie Sanders appeared opposite David in a later sketch about the evacuation of a sinking ship.
David's character complained about women and children being rescued first, and demanded that his money and connections should allow him an early exit off the ship.
Sanders, who has campaigned on inequality, jumped right in to protest the entitlement of the one percent.
"I'm so sick of the one percent getting preferential treatment," Sanders said. " We need to unite and work together if we are going to get through this."
At which David responded: "That sounds like socialism to me."
The vessel eventually made it to New York and David rebuffed Sanders' suggestion to share a cab, saying they had "talked enough."
Before introducing musical guest The 1975, David and Sanders appeared as themselves with Sanders getting a chance to deliver a signature David catchphrase.
David asked Sanders how things were going in New Hampshire, to which Sanders said, "okay."
David asked "just okay?"
Sanders responded: "pretty, pretty, pretty good."
Other topics that "SNL" delved into were Sen. Ted Cruz's Iowa victory and the Super Bowl.
The show's cold open featured Taran Killam as Cruz talking about how unlikeable he was. At one point he referred to himself as a "nasty little weasel."
With less than 24 hours to go before Super Bowl 50, Killam and Kenan Thompson played NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Cam Newton. For the sketch, the players sang the classic tune "Ebony and Ivory" made popular by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.
One of the story lines leading up to the Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers has been the different coverage and attention given to Newton and Manning.
While Manning has been praised for his records and career, Newton, the black quarterback, has been criticized for his showboating.
That prompted Thompson's Newton to ask: "Why are people afraid of me? I do commercials for Greek yogurt?"

Robert Downey Jr, enjoying one of the great comebacks in Hollywood history, added another Golden Globe to his trophy shelf, for his performance in "Sherlock Holmes."
In accepting the award, Downey gave the first truly spirited, freewheeling speech of the night.
"If you start playing violins, I will tear this place apart," Downey began, with a smile. "First I would like to thank Susan Downey for telling me Matt Damon was going to win -- so I have nothing to say... (If it weren't for her) I could be busing tables at the daily grill right now."
U.S. & World
A strange slate of nominees helped pave Downey's path to victory. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was very good in a very OK "(500) Days of Summer," but is too little known. Matt Damon played a fat guy with a mustache in a film few realized was a comedy. Daniel Day-Lewis' "Nine" is widely considered a bit of a mess, it's mountain of noms notwithstanding. And Michael Stuhlbarg was brilliant in "A Serious Man," which while riddled with truly funny moments, was far from a comedy.
But if anyone's gonna pick up a cheap easy win, why not Downey?

set the environment variable: "CLUTTER_VBLANK=none" (or add "export ..." to your startup file), then restart Gnome-Shell (Alt-F2, 'r', enter). IDK what kind of options area available to FLOSS radeon (I need Catalyst for Blender), but with Catalyst's AMD Control Center you have two areas of control. If you enable "Tear-free Desktop" it adds tripple buffering to the system (except on full-screen OpenGL windows), and eliminates tearing. The other area "quality control" or something like that, controls the settings for full-screen OpenGL applications. Usually I just leave the VSync slider in that area to "Off unless requested".
There are two ways to get good performance tear-free graphics. Usually you don't need to set "CLUTTER_VBLANK=none" with newer Radeon (HD 4xxx +) cards. Just leave is as default, and disable "Tear free" in the AMDCCC. Remember to adjust the "VSync quality slider" away from "always off", or full-screen games wont use VSynce at all. I've found this to be the best option, but you will get tearing if you have two monitors that are different resolutions, unfortunately.
The other way is to set the clutter_vblank var and enable Tear-Free. That works well (though not quite as good in my experience), and wont ever have tears.

I forgot to blog on Monday. Usually, I like to blog three times a week, but Monday I was really busy getting my house ready for Thanksgiving. Feathering my nest has become a bigger project than I planned. On Saturday, I invited a dear friend to a fun-filled day of painting my kitchen and bathroom. She showed up with her husband who did an amazing job repairing the walls and painting my bathroom. I am so blessed to have these friends; then they insisted it was a labor of love. The job in the bathroom and fresh paint in the kitchen made other rooms look shabby, and well, I did a room makeover for my son and changed the guest room. Now I am probably too exhausted to enjoy Thanksgiving.
For Thanksgiving Day, we have invited my in-laws. I adore them! My mother-in-law is 85 and my father-in-law is 89. They bowl twice a week, although my father-in-law has slowed a little and only plays once and keeps score for the team the second time each week. About this time each year they announce that they will not be planting their vegetable garden next year, which is more than just a little patch, but inevitably decide to take on the task early each spring. They rake all their own leaves and take turns snow blowing their driveway. He has survived a heart attack and she has survived breast cancer. They have a treadmill in their basement that they use daily and they are pretty disciplined about meal times.
Thinking about them reminds me that little hard work, although exhausting, is not going to hurt me. I can't ask for better role models than them.
This Thanksgiving I am so grateful for family and friends. Oh, on Friday, Sister arrives - how great is that?
I wish you and your family a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Megan Spangler, completing her bachelor of science degree in Nursing, wants to first work as registered nurse in a critical care unit. In preparation, she spends a lot of time in clinical settings, something IUP nursing students begin in their sophomore
year. She knows the value of this experience.
"As of August 2010, 96 percent of IUP nursing graduates passed the NCLEX on their first attempt!"
If endorsement from other people influences your choices, you are like Megan Spangler.
"I decided to attend IUP for several reasons, including the distance from my home, the excellent experience my sister had in the nursing program, and the affordable cost of tuition," the Westmoreland County resident said.
When she arrived on campus, Megan learned something that surprised her about IUP's nursing program.
"The pass rate of new graduates is phenomenal for the state licensure exam. As of August 2010, 96 percent of IUP nursing graduates passed the NCLEX on their first attempt! To me, this exemplifies the excellence and dedication of the nursing faculty to
train students for post-graduation licensure and job preparation," she said.
Megan aspires to eventually become a Certified Nurse Anesthetist a few years after her graduation. From IUP, she will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and hopes to first work as registered nurse in a critical care unit. In preparation, she spends
a great deal of time nursing clinical settings, something IUP nursing students begin during their sophomore year.
Her dedication has rewarded her in the form of a Pennsylvania Higher Education Foundation Grant, which recognizes her consistently high grade point
average and helps to defray the cost of her education. She also has a work-study job, which helps her with her expenses.
"Unlike some other schools, the tuition for the nursing program is the same as other majors at IUP," Megan said, "which was ideal financially for me."

Women of the Baby Boom (born between 1946 and 1964) and older generations give more to charity than their male counterparts and are more likely to give, when education, income and other factors affecting giving are equal, a new study from the Women's Philanthropy Institute at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University finds. The study reveals this gender disparity in giving "even though women, in general, earn less than men, have less money in retirement, and outlive their spouses."
At all income levels, and regardless of the share of their permanent income that they give, Boomer and older women give 89 percent more to charity than their male counterparts. Among those who are in the top 25 percent of permanent income, Boomer and older women give 156 percent more than similarly situated men.
"Our previous research has found that women tend to be more altruistic than men and that their giving frequently is motivated by the desire to make a difference in peoples' lives," according to Debra J. Mesch, Ph.D., director of the Women's Philanthropy Institute. "Additionally, women's strong networks may keep them more connected to both the needs of others and to opportunities to give."
Judith Rodin, Ph.D., President of the Rockefeller Foundation, stated that in order to change the world, "the single most important thing we can do is unleash the full power of half the people on the planet – women."
Women are flexing their individual and collective muscles, searching for deeper, sustainable solutions to pressing problems, giving generously, thoughtfully and strategically, and achieving greater outcomes with philanthropy than ever before.

Marriage vs Engagement
Of course People Magazine has the all "exclusive" Carrie Underwood wedding photos. You get what you pay for. So all that bullsh-t drama leading up to the event, as Country Bitch tried to block public access, and was going full military on the secrecy of the mission and the location and not letting guests know where and when and whatever – all for privacy? Really? Not privacy, no. Full Story

I like Dana International. As I have said in the past, her winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1998 was a giant leap for gay acceptance in general and particularly for transsexual visibility. As a judge on Israeli Pop Idol in recent years, just by appearing in the living rooms of millions of Israelis, I believe she does more for LGBTQ equality than any Supreme Court decision could ever do.
But this post is not about her. It's about 012 Smile, the Israeli telecommunications provider and their recent TV spot featuring Dana and Israeli comedian Eyal Kitzis who play themselves in a kind of alternative reality:
You see, LGBT acceptance is not binary; It has different shades, different grades. At the very far end there are those who define their so-called progressiveness with letting queer people live their lives just as long as they themselves don't have to hear about it. The other side is closer to what 012 show us:
– In the ad Dana International is not asexual. This particular M2F has a male boyfriend, Kitzis, who is straight, and whom she fondly calls "Kitzi-Kitzi".
– She also has a home, a family, a father that, much like ours, got mad when we talked too much on the telephone.
This parallel-universe-Dana seems to have had a childhood in the eighties quite similar to ours, and while all this may seem trivial to progressive-thinking-homo-lovin' readers, it is probably not trivial to their parents.
You see, I complain quite a bit about Israeli advertising, about its lack of creativity and its sexist undertones, but for putting this ad on Israeli Channel 2 at prime time, all I can say is:
Bravo! Bravo, 012, bravo!
If advertising is harmful in its core, I believe this ad does quite a bit of good.

"Awkward Moments" is a monthly column that asks comedians, "What do you do when..." In this installment we talk about how performance is affected by who's in the crowd.
Do you tell your parents the same stories you tell your friends? Would you describe to your boss the intimate but hilarious details of your last sexual encounter? How would you feel if someone you admired watched you bomb on stage?
We all tailor our social interactions to the particular people we're talking to, but performers usually can't control who comes out to see them do their thing. Comedy often includes, and sometimes depends on, material that is personal, embarrassing, or way dirtier than anything you'd find yourself discussing around the family dinner table. So when that family shows up to support the comedian in their lives, how does it affect the person on stage?

Preservatives and synthetic food agents found in foods inhibit oxygen and delay the development of fungus and mold, creating a longer shelf-life for products. But after being consumed, these toxins deprive human cells of oxygen and rob them of nutrients, thus leading to cell mutation and the perfect breeding ground for cancer.
Just like humans, cells need oxygen to survive and thrive. "Fungus fighting" preservatives and man-made food agents choke out your body's nutrients at the DNA level by depriving mitochondrial cells of oxygen, sometimes completely shutting them down. And if the body does not have enough essential nutrients, it becomes more susceptible to disease.
Longer shelf life, shorter human life
If you're not a label-reader already, you better become one soon. You don't have to be a chemist or a linguist either, just be able to sight read and spot the poisons so you can live cancer-free. Most food toxins are followed by a phrase, often in parenthesis, to make them sound "safe" and in your best interest, like "as a preservative," or "for added freshness," or "to preserve flavor." These catchy little phrases really mean for the added choking of your cells to aid with cancer development.
The top 10 cell stranglers revealed
The United States has several major regulatory agencies and "cancer prevention" organizations which have not only been suppressing natural cancer cures for 70 years, but have been approving, supporting, endorsing and profiting from cancer-causing agents in food, beverages and cosmetics since World War II.
1. Sodium Benzoate: This stealthy killer flies under most people's radar, and is found in just about everything in jars and bottles, like salad dressing, pickles, sauces, mayonnaise, almost all soda and juice drinks, and even in foods labeled as "all natural."
2. Canola Oil: This artificial, Canadian-exported GMO is super popular and is found in over 30% of all products. It chokes out your mitochondrial cells. Canola oil is really rapeseed oil and can cause emphysema and respiratory distress, eventually leading to cancer.
3. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG): The FDA allows 20 "pseudo" names for it including autolyzed yeast extract, free glutamate, glutamic acid, soy lecithin, calcium caseinate, hydrolyzed corn, hydrolyzed soy protein, and maltodextrin to name a few. Just because a product says "No MSG" doesn't mean it's not in there!
4. Sodium Nitrates (nitrosamines): Used for fertilizers and explosives, and as a solvent in the dry cleaning industry. This ingredient keeps hemoglobin molecules in your blood from carrying oxygen to your body tissues. It's considered a "super salt" (like MSG) added to things like hot dogs, cold cuts and bacon for added shelf-life, color and flavor. Problems compound when microwaved.
5. Margarine: The body cannot incorporate trans-fatty acids into membranes, thus causing deformed cellular structures. Vegetable shortening and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils accelerate aging and degenerative changes in tissues.
6. Anti-foaming agents: (Dimethylpolysiloxane) An industrial chemical used in caulks and sealants. This component is mostly used in fast food chicken nuggets and eggs. Also watch for TBHQ, a petroleum derivative, used as a stabilizer in perfumes, resins, varnishes and oil field chemicals, and linked to stomach tumors and DNA damage.
7. Anti-caking agents: Chemicals that absorb moisture and prevent other compounds from sticking together. These are added to table salt and powdered food products. They are often composed of phosphate, carbonate, silicate and oxide compounds which contain aluminum. Watch for sodium alumino-silicate, alumino-calcium silicate and aluminium silicate. Aluminum is linked to Alzheimer's and is also used in flu shots and vaccines.
8. Artificial colorings: Synthetic petrochemicals made from petroleum, antifreeze and ammonia. Blue #1 causes kidney tumors in mice. Red #2 and Blue #2 cause brain and bladder tumors in rats. Red #3 causes thyroid cancer in animals, and is banned in cosmetics, but still allowed in food. Red #40 debilitates the immune-system. Green #3 causes bladder and testes tumors. Yellow #5 and #6 cause adrenal tumors in animals.
9. Emulsifiers: Carrageenan, polysorbate 80 and brominated vegetable oil (BVO). These are stabilizing, smoothing and thickening agents. They are typically found in chocolate milk, cottage cheese, ice cream, infant formula and jelly. BVO remains in body fat for years. Polysorbate 80 is also found in most vaccines.
10. Artificial Sweeteners: Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Sucralose, Sorbitol, Truvia, and of course, Saccharin. Because they taste sweet, these chemical sweeteners trick the body into ingesting them and holding on to them for extended periods of time, turning rancid in the body fat. Fake sugars are the "Trojan horses" of the cell-choking and mutating, food agent industry. Sorbitol is also found in many vaccines.

Wedding Invitations: When Your Partner or Spouse Is Left Out of the Invite
It's standard etiquette to allow a plus-one for every wedding invitation — especially when inviting married couples. But what do you do when your spouse is left out?
(page 1 of 2)
Wedding planning by its nature is complicated and sometimes issues arise that are almost unique. This wedding guest has an unusual problem.
A Hudson Valley wedding guest asks: "I just got an invitation to my best friend's son's wedding. The invitation was addressed to me and did not include my husband (we've been married for about 35 years). Both my husband and I have known the groom since he was born, so I can't understand why my husband was omitted from the invitation. I don't know what to do about it."

Militant in your Atheism that is...For those of you who consider yourselves "militant Atheists" I want to better understand two things:
1. What is Militant Atheism from your point of view...what really does it mean. Please explain in detail. Define it for us.
2. Why is it necessary. Why not just be an Atheist? Why do you consider it any different than the extreme points of view held by religious fanatics. Why isn't it enough to simply say, "I am an Atheist"
I'm asking this question honestly because I want to learn. I am an Atheist but not for very long. My mind is still poisoned by religion. I want to further my knowledge on the subject and help those others like me who are just starting to see the fog lift. Hope it will be an educational discussion. Thanks.
Views: 1532
I'll apologize for any mistakes in my answer, for english is not my native language.
Obviously, all reasons that may be exposed here will have a strong personal scent.
In my case, I don't like the term "militant atheism" very much. Basically, because there's nothing like a atheist party (as far as I know) and because it is often confused/mixed with the the term "antitheism". Nevertheless, I do understand the purpose of the concept and under certain parameters I can consider myself as part of that group. As you can see, I'm not the most suitable person to deliver a precise definition of the term, but assuming the risk, I would say that militant atheism consist on being openly atheist to society, wich implies to stand up against dogmatic practices, such as religious authority on political and moral issues, pseudoscientific activities that may compromise society's mental or physical health, education misconceptions, etc.
Far more from being necessary, I think that under the definition above, militant atheism is essential. Critical thinking should be established in the nucleous of the idiosyncracy of every society, in order to enhance our morality, our education, our politics and by extension, every aspect in society. I'm not proposing with this that lack of critical thinking is the root of all of the problems in our society, we clearly won't reach utopia by acomplishing this goal alone. However, I can consider a far more functional civilization by sweeping away all kinds of dogmatic and antirational principles that govern our everyday life, from religious authority to astrology in our newspapers. In fact, there is a strong correlation between a disfunctional society and a dependence of religion. I can reference the famous work from the evolutionary psychologist Gregory Paul (full article can be seen by searching on Google "The Chronic Dependence of Popular Religiosity upon Dysfunctional Psychosociological Conditions" I prefer not to paste the link directly, since I'm not familiar with the rules of this forum regarding that issue.) It's around 44 pages long. If you don't have that time, you can go straight to the graphics and see the correlation I'm talking about. Actually, it's a bit embarrasing to se where is located United States among other countries.
Following your example, if an atheist individual simply says "I am an atheist" and keeps on with his/her life, is being a complicit observer of the consecuences of our gullible society. In other words, antirational thinking must be stopped and every single person that is aware of the danger that the lack of critical thinking does is responsible of doing so.
Hope this helps answering a bit your question. If you're still feeling poisoned by religion, I would suggest a strong dosis of documentaries and books to broaden your knowledge (DOCS: religulous, the root of all evil, the enemies of reason, uff!! all from Carl Sagan.. there's so many! consider also viewing debates about religion, from Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennet, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, etc. Books: I'd propose the same authors, with the addition of steven weinberg, steven pinker, Bertrand Russell, Ludweig Wittgenstein (analytic philosophy, not quite atheism, but a good root of today's rational thinking).. The sky is the limit! These pepople speak far more elocuently that many of us, and will definitely help in your quest.
my only knowledge of the term was someone who believe religion of any kind is harmful
If you look at the trends in history and in our modern society, religion is harmful if left to run unchecked. "Militant atheists" (if that is your definition of one, I guess I am one of them) simply look at the grotesque amount of harm religion has done to the human race in times when the religious had the world they wanted, and weigh those events against the lovey dovey religion they preach today.
How quickly do you think that The Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith would revert back to its original Inquisitorial roots if the Catholic church for example returned to its old power.
Religion may be beneficial at times to the individual, but it is extremely harmful to the human race as a whole. Even the benefits of religion are somewhat harmful. Religious beliefs give you false hope; instead of educating you to face reality and improve yourself and the world around you they tell you to kneel, obey and submit.
Militancy requires an ideology and following an extreme version of it. Atheism has no ideology, it's just a disbelief. Therefore there is no such thing as "Militant Atheist".
However what you are talking about is "aggressive Atheists". Atheists can be very aggressive in dealing with theists and that is due to the fact that theists are not generally very tolerant and passive people. Therefore a certain aggressive stance is required to counterattack them. When you counterattack them with logic and reason, it often leads to putting the theists in their place. Something which they do not like at all, so they scream "militancy" and accuse Atheist of being "hostile" towards them or "attacking" their faith
It is necessary to stop the religious encroaching further into society either through the political or educational system.
Recently on Irish TV I had to listen to a debate on a proposed change in the law on gay marriage. It turned into a fiasco with "devout" Catholics saying that it would somehow take away from their marriage. It became self-evident to everyone (who was not "devout") that these people were mobilized to come unto the show. Anytime an alternative view was offered i.e. when someone pointed out that we were talking about civil marriage rights and not religious marriage they were immediately and aggressively shouted down and words like "immoral" were hurled across at them. They people are extremists. They are fanatical. They are organised and financed from church gate collections. I will do my best to show them up for the pious pricks they are. They are preventing people from having full and equal RIGHTS before the law of the land. So I will continue to be a militant Atheist.
When Islamic theists in Bangladesh today called for Atheists to be hung I turn militant and protest even if I can only sign an online petition. But I will do my best to let others know what these men of god want. They were not happy enough just to stab a "militant Atheist" last January. I open blaspheme my cartoon of their pig god.
When Christians murder people working in abortion clinics I become militant.
When the religious try to force the teaching of Evolution out of schools I am militant because they are poisoning young mind.
When they mutilate new born babies in the name of some barbaric Iron Age tradition and say it is done in their god's name I become militant and accuse them of grievous bodily harm.
I tend to be militant to when it comes to their treatment of women. Have you got all day?
When theists knock on my door and tell me that I am wrong in my beliefs but cannot give me any reason to support theirs I get a little militant.
When I feel most militant is when I hear some apologist trying to explain that not all theists are like the ones above. Do I ever hear sincere condemnation? No, just some mealy mouthed attempt to justify the reasons they act like that is because of the actions of "militant atheists". Well fuck them and the horses they rode in on.
I am only starting. I could go on for hours but you might think I am angry. I am not. I am just militant.
Just look at the articles posted above and then ask me why I detest religion. I suppose I would not be so aggressive if the religious nuts would just play among themselves and leave everyone else alone.
Religious people must be profoundly unhappy. It seems that they are indeed the proof of the old saw "misery loves company"
I wish I hadn't seen all that. The world is so sick.
It is depressing isn't it.
Wow. This literally made me feel sick. And people wonder why we have such an issue with religion! 'Nuff said.
Sorry, I don't think I got your point, can you just go over it one more time?

Adoptable Children's Portraits Exhibit Stops in Salem
The Indiana Heart Gallery, a traveling exhibit featuring compelling portraits of children in need of adoptive families, is stopping in Salem. The Gallery will be featured at the Washington County Family YMCA August 4 – 18. The Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) uses the Heart Gallery to help bring attention to children in foster care in need of a forever home. Between 75 and 100 Hoosier kids need adoptive homes right now because they were removed from abusive or neglectful situations.
"Every child needs a family they can call their own. We need families that are not only willing to love our children, but are also prepared to commit to them, claim them as their own and hang in there through their ups and downs," said Sandra Caesar, DCS' adoption manager. "Today's foster children will someday be our neighbors and co-workers. The stability and permanency that adoption provides is a critical step in giving these children the best possible chance at success in life."
Using the talents of professional photographers who volunteer their time, the individual spirit and true personality of each child is captured. Heart Gallery photographs sometimes show shy children wrapped in their security blankets, girls dressed up as princesses, boys hugging dogs and siblings laughing together. The children all have one thing in common: they need families that will give them unconditional love.
Nearly 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States. More than 100,000 are legally available for adoption and in need of adoptive families. Many of these children are older, in sibling groups that want to be adopted together or have special needs.
This year, as many as 20,000 young people will leave the foster care system without lifelong families—many at age 18. On their own, these young adults must navigate a weakened economy offering fewer jobs and less support for vital services such as housing. They deserve caring adults who love and support them. For some foster kids, getting adopted can mean the difference between homelessness or incarceration and transitioning successfully to adulthood.
The Indiana Heart Gallery will display a dozen portraits August 4 – 18 at the Washington County Family YMCA, 1709 North Shelby Street in Salem. Viewing times: Monday - Thursday, 5 am to 9 pm; Fridays, 5 am to 7 pm; Saturdays, 7 am to 5 pm; Sundays, 1 pm to 5 pm. There is no charge to see the Heart Gallery exhibit.
For more information about the Indiana Heart Gallery, go to http://www.in.gov/dcs/3033.htm. To find out more about adopting an Indiana child, go to www.adoptachild.in.gov or call 888.25ADOPT.
About Indiana Heart Gallery:
The Heart Gallery is a traveling photographic exhibit the Indiana Department of Child Services created in 2007 to help find forever families for children in foster care. Venues generally include hospitals, libraries, museums and churches. There are more than 120 Heart Galleries across the U.S. and the exhibits have resulted in over 5,000 children around the country finding adoptive families. With help from the Heart Gallery, more than 1,300 Hoosier foster kids found forever homes in state fiscal year 2013.
About Indiana Department of Child Services:
The Indiana Department of Child Services is committed to protecting children who are victims of abuse or neglect. The agency's primary goal is to safely keep these children at home with their families by offering appropriate support services. It also manages the child support bureau. Indiana Child Abuse/Neglect Hotline: 800.800.5556. www.in.gov/dcs
