i've read till volume 7 and i really really like Tamaki! he's such a cute and sincere character (naive too, despite his ability to charm any lady) and i can't wait to see the romance budding between him and Haruhi! kyaa~~
i like both the manga and anime... i laugh a lot... it's very funny i love the twins
I just started with the anime... and yesterday i got the ^^ manga so i don't know too much about this series but... i LOVE it!
The twins are awesome!! Haruhi too! well, to be honest... the whole host club is awesome. I love all the characters *_*
I just cant stop laughing with this series... and not only the story line is great, also the technical part like characters design and the animation in general is very cool.
I watched it!!
And omg, it's awesome. Loved it. Although I like Haruhi's manga hair better, but whatever. LOVE IT. And Mori-sempai is so hot~~
I can't believe Sakamoto Maaya can do a voice like that, though. Did they digitally change the pitch or something??
Sakamoto Maaya was the seiyuu for Haruhi? don't mind me, if you're free to answer please do T_T~ or I'll go google it when I can't stand it anymore xD
YES I LOVE OURAN! kiss kiss fall in love! Temaki-senpai!! Honey-kun~~ wai~~
the anime is really well done imo, I read the mana after I watched up to epi4 of the anime. manga is a spoiler for the anime now tho =P I am even considering buying the manga for keeps. [and yes I think Aishiteruze Baby was not well done for a manga-anime. I like yoko maki's manga style.]
here a link where u can find both Aishiteruzebaby and Ouran : http://www.jedicore.com/lunar I hope this is allowed =X
ei ? You read the manga and watch the anime at the same time.
I tried not to. Spoiler effect!!
Anyway, I read the manga before the watching the anime.
It's still OK. The anime add new touches which I totally enjoy!!
I still can't forget the lightbulbs scene (this is not in the manga... my fav).
ok...so i could only read the first volume about a month ago, and haven't come close to a bookstore since...
hahahaha..the girl is so funny...XD
just finished ep 8! it was actually really touching but maybe is it just me or have ep 6-8 not been as funny? i still love this show to death but it feels like the jokes are a lot more forced or something. and i think its criminal that they cut out the nekozawa stuff in ep 8 - it made me bust out laughing when i read the manga chapter. come back nekozawa-sempai!! LOL.
Really ?
I still think the series is packed with laughter.
I just love it when Haruhi say something funny with a straight face.
ok i take it all back. i still think ep 6-8 were less funny on the grand scale but ep 9 was hysterical!! and it looks like the next two will be really good. they visit haruhi's home in ep 10 and then ep 11 is nekozawa-sempai and his little sister- both are already really funny in the manga so i can't wait to see what they will add to it all
oooh, they're gonna visit haruhi's house in ep 10?! now that'll be hilarious! haruhi's family will appear then neh? hehehehehehe...
ya... the visit to haruhi's house is sooo funny.
My tummy still hurts from laughing too much.
Haruhi's dad is soooo funny.
I didn't realize that a trip to supermarket can be this adventurous.
Oh ya....Haruhi's dad thinks that Tamaki is his rival.
Hehehe... Ep 10 was definitely a fav ep! And now I can't wait for ep 12!!
Hunny senpai NOT EATING CAKE!!!! Oh noes!!!! We might get to see his evil side again. (~.^)V
Hmm.. Well, I read both the manga and anime. In my oppinion, the manga is somehow better than the anime. Not just because I already know what's going to happen! (Besides, I still laugh maniacally at the jokes repeated the anime all the same...) Perhaps it's the "original" charm thingo. =P Besides, scanlations of the manga seems to be slow... ='( -wishes it was easy to buy manga here-
Finally caught up! I really like Episode 11- Nekozawa- Sempai is just too weird and too hilarious! I love all of Beelzenef's little faces too. And just saw Ep 12- it was a relatively decent one-not the funniest but it was OK. i guess i don't care that much for honey and mori but ep 13 should be really good. its a very twisted take on Alice in Wonderland - host club style
just read volume 8 and is in shock...so many ppl like haruhi!! not telling u who though
the anime is cute coz it's animated comedy with voices n action added to the beloved characters, but i prefer the manga in terms of development i suppose.

Playing With Lukas
"Get rid of him, Karen, what do you expect - he's a throwaway." Words often said to Karen Murdock, long ago, when Lukas was difficult. Lukas is a seventeen year old Thoroughbred who failed at the track, was found starving in a yard and who Karen bought as a "green project horse" at the age of nine. Lukas has since become one of the top liberty performers in the country and he has attracted world-wide acclaim for his cognitive tasks.
Lukas freely performs the Spanish Walk, Passage, curtsey, bow, rear, sit, jambette and much more without any force (Karen doesn't own a whip). Also, he is able to identify letters, numbers and shapes, discriminate colors and he understands the concepts of object permanence, spatial relationships, proportion, same/different and absentness.
Above all, Lukas and Karen's bond is their greatest joy - trust, love and harmony are evident to all who see them together. We hope you enjoy your visit here. Karen Murdock's Biography

. Such a portfolio demands a flexible service platform that enables innovation and a network that connects customers in a reliable and cost-effective manner.
Getting to that point can be difficult, but there is a way to streamline the process by making sure everyone is on the same page in terms of setting goals and prioritizing tasks. The Campus Approach gathers key decision-makers together for frequent, informal face-to-face discussions about how to take the business to the next level. Mid- and senior-level managers spend up to three months meeting for three days each week at an off-site location in order to map out the company's future—without the distraction of day-to-day operations.

Q: How do I create the perfect hockey or skating rink?
Chris – Gardners, PA
A: One of the many benefits of having a lake is inviting friends and family over for fun water-related activities—including ice skating or hockey scrimmages during the wintertime. Here are some simple four-step instructions for how to create a nearly NHL-ready rink on your pond.
- First, using a weed cutter and pond rake, remove dead floating debris, such as dead cattails and Phragmites. If those are on the water's surface or along the lake's edges as the ice forms, you could wind up with bumpy or weak ice.
- Next, if you haven't done so already, turn off and remove the aeration system from your lake. If you keep it running while the ice forms, that could result in uneven ice formation—and that can be a dangerous situation for skaters.
- Once snow begins to fall, regularly remove the snow from the ice with a snow shovel before nightfall so the lake freezes evenly. Make sure, however, that the pond ice is at least 4 inches deep before walking on it.
- On a calm night so the water stays still, use your thermostatically controlled
K&H™ PVC ThermoHose™ to flood the rink area with a thin layer of water to fill in any gaps. By the next morning—weather permitting—the new ice layer should be frozen and the rink ready to enjoy!
Remember to practice water and ice safety by having a life ring available in case of emergency, and by marking the acceptable rink area, particularly if you are using just a portion of a much larger body of water.
Sharpen your blades, pull on your skates—and have fun!

Am I going too quick for you? Should I reduce the amount of posts I have up?
Anyway, spotted these Kat Von D Palettes on eBay for wayyy more than they actually cost from Sephora, but being a Brit, it's my job to be ripped off.
I know Kat Von D is a tattoo lady from Miami Ink. This is what she looks like:
Eeerrrr – let's find a more flattering image.
There! She's pretty, no?
I got two of the palettes Ludwig and Beethoven.
Very quick look:
Ludwig – not had a time to play with this one yet:
There is also one called Metal Orchestra but that is similar to Beethoven (dark smokey blues).
So far I LOVE the eyeshadows. They are super soft and pigmented, and some of the colours in the palette are just stunning! No, you won't need to use them all at the same time, but it gives you a bit of variety. love it!
This is the mini lipgloss set. No poncey neutrals here, all full blast colour and glitter.
Not opened it yet – the box is too cool! the black look especially intriguing. Come back later to see swatches!

The Evil Spawn has officially announced she doesn't like going to school.
By officially, I mean she said it in the car when we were traveling back from yet another evening of supervising an athletic contest (as the child of a school administrator… she was born into the family business of sports supervision).
Her statement was short and to the point. "Dad, I don't want to go to school anymore."
This led to my rebuttal which was a long-winded rambling sometimes incoherent monologue about how hard I work and did she realize there are days when I don't want to trudge into the office at 7:00 am and work until10:00 at night.
After about 27 minutes of hearing myself talk (she stopped listening pretty early on), I realized there must be more to her story.
She likes her friends. Sports. Reading. Playing on her iPad. Writing. Corndog Thursday. Math and science. Assemblies.
And sleep.
Lots and lots of sleep.
School? Not so much.
But she used to love it.
Turns out after only 5 years of education, she has decided she's not a big fan of the daily grind of nearly 8 hours a day of sitting in a desk (of course… minus passing periods, homeroom, lunch, study hall, PE, library, computers, and music/art).
This worries me.
It's weird because she loves to learn.
She likes the History Channel. You Tube. Discovering new things on the Interweb. Going to the public library.
But sitting in class she finds a little boring.
It's not her teachers. She loves them (there are at least 3 on her Mt. Rushmore of Important People who have impacted her life… sadly, Buddy the Dog and I didn't make it…).
In the teachers' defense, they just can't go fast enough.
Public schools are set up to teach to the middle.
And I think they should. We're in the business of producing taxpayers and good citizens who know how to stand in line and wait their turns.
We aren't there to push the top 20%. We count on colleges to do that.
I'm okay with this, but I do worry why a 10 year old who loved school has started to go the other way.
Maybe it's just a phase. Maybe she's just starting to transition from tween to angry and bitter teenager (and if my mediocre parenting keeps up… one day, a angry bitter sarcastic adult).
Maybe she still loves school, but this is her way of fitting in with the other kids and slightly rebelling against the man (by the way… there's a good chance I might be the man).
I may have no idea how the mind of a pre-teen girl works (actually, I'm pretty sure I don't know how the mind of a pre-teen girl works).
But I do know, I miss the little person in my house who eats all my food who used to fly out of bed on school days because she didn't want to miss a thing.
I just wish I knew for sure if it was her or if it's us.

Governor Matt Mead said that Wyoming has an approach for managing sage-grouse that balances development and conserving the species. Friday, Governor Mead met with the Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and representatives of other western states. This was to discuss Wyoming's Sage-Grouse Core Area Protection strategy and other state-led efforts to keep the sage-grouse from listing under the Endangered Species Act.
At a news conference following the meeting Secretary Salazar thanked Governor Mead and Wyoming for leadership on sage-grouse conservation.
Attendees of Friday's meeting discussed developing a working agreement. Such an agreement would put in place conservation actions and commitments to meaningfully address both the continued viability of the sage-grouse and the need of westerners to enjoy multiple uses of their land and have reasonable predictability regarding regulatory requirements.
In June Governor Mead signed the Sage-Grouse Core Area Protection Executive Order. It updated an Order signed by Governor Freudenthal providing more flexibility for management in the core areas. In August Secretary Salazar recognized Wyoming for its effort to keep sage-grouse off of the endangered species list with a Partners in Conservation Award.

Last Minute Gift Guide for the Bottom-Shelf Drinker
Will Gordon drinks his way through the bottom shelf of the liquor store...so you don't have to.
If you run with anything resembling the right kind of crowd, you likely have at least one bottom-shelf drinker on your holiday shopping list. At first blush, this breed of boozer might seem easy to impress—What do you get the man who has nothing? Well, a six-pack of tube socks and a plastic jug of rum is a good start—but the bottom-shelf lifestyle is about so much more than a simple lack of shame, resources, or discernment.
We bottom-shelfers don't choose this path because we lack the means or sophistication to aim higher, but rather because we appreciate the subtle beauty of the more accessible liquors. It's easy to derive pleasure from vintage Champagnes, trophy bourbons, and extra-virgin IPAs. If you want to give your bottom-shelfer a gift he'll enjoy, go right ahead with the magnum of Double Imperial Pappy Van Krug. Everyone with a tongue likes that stuff. But if you want to give a bottom-shelfer something that says you understand and respect his world view, that you realize he has not just a tongue but also a heart and maybe even a soul, you might consider these options.
The Modern Drunkard
Frank Kelly Rich and his unmerry band of Denver-based derelicts have been "Standing Up for Your Right to Get Falling Down Drunk Since 1996," and they now offer a book-length version of their distilled wisdom; it lists for $15 and Amazon has it for $10.99 in paperback, or $10.44 for Kindle. Modern Drunkard magazine is also available through their website, $24 for 6 issues.
Corn Nuts
Planter's says, "Being corn to the core is about staying true to yourself, being genuine and being authentic. It's about taking what's at your core and proudly showing it—because our cores define all of us, just like corn defines Corn Nuts." I say, what a weird load of marketing bullshit BUT ALSO I really like Corn Nuts. Your first instinct for solid matter to accompany the bottom-shelf diet might be the iconic Beer Nuts, or perhaps wasabi peas to mask any untoward flavors from low-born liquor, but both of those otherwise-worthy snacks go down too fast. Corn Nuts require a little more chewing commitment, which will help extend the eating portion of the meal.
Dollar Coins
To a civilian, a dollar coin is a novelty at best and a nuisance at worst. If you're not a dedicated bottom-shelfer, it will just sit in your change jug depreciating for a year until you sell it to CoinStar for 90 cents. In the proper hands, however, it is transformed into an insurance policy for a rainy day that's threatening to come up short one 24-ounce can of Natural Ice.
40-Ounce Beer Cozy
Beer cozies are great in theory, but in reality they can be more trouble than they're worth. If you can't drink a tiny little can of beer fast enough to keep it cold on a hot summer's day, you need to stop blaming your equipment and start rethinking your commitment to the project. 40-ounce beers are also great in theory but troublesome on the street, for much the same (or is it the opposite?) reason: If you rush to drink a 40 before the last sip gets cold, you risk making the sort of bad decision that could deprive you of your health or your liberty or your next 40. Enter the neoprene 40 sleeves from the good folks at 40cozy.com. A mere $8.99 will keep your malt liquor cool until business is finished; I'm partial to the tuxedo print, but you could talk me into the bandana model.
Breath Mints
Because bottom-shelfers get lucky sometimes, too, and nobody wants to taste your unminted mouth when you're Schlitz-faced.
Keg Cup Shot Glasses
I don't tend to go in for novelty shot glasses. Why can't you just pour the proper dosage into a regular glass and get on with it? But these are too clever to ignore. Get four of them at Urban Outfitters for $14.
Old Crow Reserve
Old Crow is very important to me. It was the first budget booze I truly appreciated. It's seen me through many a rough patch, and a couple of smooth ones too. On special occasions when I can find it and I have three extra dollars, I like to upgrade to Old Crow Reserve. You might be tempted to give your bottom-shelfer a bourbon with a grander ornithological heritage—an Eagle Rare, say, or even a Wild Turkey—but if you really want to respect his priorities, you'll give a gift that says, "Hey man, I get you. You like to keep it honest. So how's about this holiday season we keep it honest, plus another 6 proof and a slicker label?"

Jackleg Preachers: Don't Let Them Take You to Hell With Them
Pastor Marvin Winans
[Beneath The Spin]
Matthew 6:1-34: "Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
"Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ..."
It is said that God works in mysterious ways.
Nothing illustrates the truth of that statement more thoroughly than the current controversy over Pastor Marvin Winans' refusal to bless a woman's child before his church because the child was born out of wedlock. God used that lady, Charity Grace, and her son, Joshua, to send us a very important message - STOP WORSHIPING THESE PREACHERS!
God blessed man with human intelligence, and we should bless our OWN children with the knowledge and wisdom that he bestowed upon each one of us as individuals.
No preacher is any closer to God than you are as a person, yet, one of the biggest problems that we have in this country is far too many of us are running around claiming to worship God when, in fact, we're worshiping preachers, and in turn, those preachers are making us stupid, mean-spirited, and hateful.
A perfect example of that is the preachers who are telling their congregations to rise up and fight against the right for gays to get married. We should be doing just the opposite. We should encourage marriage, not only among gays, but among ALL people who are in love, because marriage promotes stability. And with respect to the issue of gay marriage specifically, the Bible - the "word of God" that these preachers are suppose to be following - very clearly says to these preachers, and all others, to "Judge not, that ye be not judged."
Matthew 7:1-5 of the King James version of the Holy Bible is very emphatic in saying the following:"(1)Judge not, that ye be not judged.
(2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
(3) And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
(4) Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? (5) Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Thus, many preachers are not only NOT following the "word of God," but they're rewriting the Bible to conform to their own bigoted points of view. They're helping to perpetuate the very same kind of ignorant and bigoted stupidity that has plagued Black people for centuries. And the reason that they have that warped and un-Godly mind-set is because Black people were taught about religion by the very same people who had us tied-up next to the mules, and many preachers are too brainwashed to recognize that fact.
As Black people we should never forget that we're the product of the very same racist and bigoted environment as White people, so many of the more weak-minded among us are just as bigoted and racist as any sheet-wearing Hillbilly, and many (but not all) of our preachers are a prime example of that fact.
These preachers have neither the wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, nor morality, to speak for God.Matthew 23:25: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

What's New
Rawhide Font Family by Canada Type
About: Rawhide is a fresh digitization and expansion of a very popular (yet uncredited) early 1970s film type called Yippie, which was commonly used in wild west cartoons and comics. Publishers of Lucky Luke, the famous Belgian comic by Morris, used these bouncy letters for the titling on a few of their soft cover editions, and different variations of it were used throughout the 1970s and 1980s by cartoon classic Looney Tunes and a variety of wild west animations and comics. It slowly disappeared without fanfare when desktop publishing became the norm. Here it is again now for the computer age, available as a high quality font with a complete character set that accommodates more than 20 Latin-based languages.

It's funny, but some of the most popular recipes that I've made aren't the ones that take all day in the kitchen, require fancy ingredients or equipment, or even seem all that creative. Some of the most popular things I make are simple, straightforward, and perfect for just about any weeknight.
So if that's the kind of thing you're into, you should definitely try this one. Combine a few ingredients that you've probably already got in your kitchen, spend a few minutes of prep time, and you've got a delicious dinner that makes a weeknight just a little more special. I'd take this over takeout any day.
Easy Stuffed Chicken
1 chicken breasts (can be adjusted for as many servings as you need)
2 ounces goat cheese
10 baby spinach leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh ground pepper
Sea salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Gently pull the chicken skin back from the meat. Place a layer of crumbled goat cheese between the skin and the meat, and then top that with a layer of baby spinach. Make sure everything is covered by the chicken skin, and then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and bake for about 40 minutes, or until juices run clear.

A decorative facelift and new family room rejuvenate a Georgian Colonial

If Lynn Bay Dayton's life followed the pattern of a multicourse meal, then at this point she's enjoying dessert. It all started in 1990, when she began adding just the right ingredients to a recipe for life that has made her journey one long feast. That was the year she enrolled in a classical French culinary program in San Francisco. And-pounds of butter, flour, sugar, and eggs later-that's where she not only mastered the art of making exquisite soufflés but fell in love with Bruce Dayton, who became her husband. (A professional baker from Minneapolis, he was also trained at the school.)
After marrying, the couple moved to the Boston area, where finding a home and starting a family became a priority. Happily, they discovered a luscious, tree-filled property with a mouthwatering Georgian Colonial house and cobblestone drive that exactly suited their tastes. "The minute I pulled into the drive, I knew this was the one," says Lynn. "I loved the cobblestones, and when I walked into the house and saw the light, I was smitten."
Following their move in 1996, Lynn left her job as a caterer and event planner to raise sons Alex and Conner, to work on home-renovation projects, and to deepen her commitment to philanthropy, intensifying her efforts toward a variety of causes. She's been turning up her "giving" burner ever since. "It's all about education, children, and animals," says Lynn.
In life as in cooking, sometimes the most successful projects evolve over time, with a pinch of this and a dash of that, until the flavor is complex, nuanced, and satisfying. Lynn and Bruce's renovation of their home, completed in 2009, simmered for11 years as they gathered the furnishings and artwork they love, completing numerous projects along the way.
As the couple worked on renovation plans, they learned that an invaluable resource lay close at hand-at the public television station where Lynn was a volunteer. A restoration consultant working at WGBH-TV, the station broadcasting This Old House, led the couple to professionals who could help them realize their design dreams-Design Associates, a Cambridge architectural firm, and Boston interior designer Michael Carter. In fact, Carter's work with the Daytons seemed fated.
"When Lynn and I first talked, she pulled out a file of design ideas," says Carter. "The first page she showed me was a magazine depicting one of my projects, but she had no idea that it was my design. Our relationship was meant to be."
Using pieces the Daytons already had and a color scheme that provides an effortless flow from room to room, Carter created a house high in sustenance but low in sugary extras.
The front entry leads into a neoclassic foyer reflecting the home's gracious heritage. Its dark oak floor is a gleaming foil for the graceful antique and reproduction furniture favored by the Daytons. In the adjoining dining room, a tribal-patterned rug in shades of blue underscores the space. With its fireplace and sparkling chandelier, it's a warmly hospitable setting for the dinner parties the couple hosts for friends and family and for numerous charity fund-raisers.
The living room is no show-off, but it commands attention with its sophisticated finish. The soft, glowing tone of the room is heightened by armchairs covered in a quiet geometric velvet, while pops of turquoise enliven the space's serene sensibility.
A decorative face-lift was only one part of the Daytons' redo. A family room addition provided space that was needed to accommodate large crowds during fund-raisers as well as a comfortable spot for the family to watch television.
The public spaces of the house are certainly tasteful, but the more intimate spaces are even more enticing. The kitchen is set off by a banquette, formal in execution with its nailhead trim and an attractive contrast to the casual flair of the window dressing.
The sunroom is citrusy fresh in lime green and crisp white. A zestful play of patterns comes from a gray rug woven with a geometric motif, toile drapery panels, and stripes on the cushions of a slipper chair. A nine-piece grid of oil-on-wood bird portraits created by renowned bird artist Ellen Granter stirs in a striking boost of color.
"Everyone yearns for comfort in a home," says Lynn. "It makes so much more sense to brainstorm about community needs in a house than in an office downtown." The Dayton place is indeed one of those houses that seems to be conducive to collegial gatherings where such problems are discussed and solutions inspired.
"My house is where needs are identified," Lynn explains. "And it's where I muster up the excitement to move forward."

Nourishing others has been a running theme throughout Lynn's career and life. As a chef and caterer, she created delicious food for others to savor. Now, this foodie is caretaker to a host of others through organizations in Massachusetts, where she resides with her husband, two sons, and a handful of shelter cats. "It is kind of like cooking," says Lynn of her charitable endeavors. "You know what you like and what works well together."
And just like a dinner menu that features filet mignon one night and lasagna another, Lynn's philanthropic schedule is varied. She devotes her time to a number of carefully chosen organizations. Her love for animals has led her to positions as board member for MSPCA-Angell (mspca.org), an organization that works to prevent animal cruelty, and Lovelane (lovelane.org), a riding program that offers horse therapy to children with special needs. She also serves on the board of trustees of WGBH, Boston's public radio and television stations.
"Philanthropy has always been a part of my life and family," says Lynn. "I often feel that I get back so much more than what I give."

I agree with you... it's not that I don't like her character, but the series captured me because of the love (or obsession) between Bella and Edward. It was like being 15 again (no offense to any 15-year olds!) and those butterflies in the stomach when your crush walks by. Then there was a baby, and though she was the love and center of everyone's lives, it took away from that passion. I don't know. Maybe in, like, book 7 (if there was one), a baby would be more fitting. I liked the character, I liked the book, but I'm not sure it really fit. I was slightly disappointed.emmett_<3 wrote: BUT i hate the idea of her. I just don't think that Edward and Bella should've had a child. It doesn't fit, and it doesn't make sense.

It's hard to point to one thing that made "The Blind Side" such a surprising breakout hit at the box office -- a success that has carried over well into Oscar season.
But some credit goes to churches, which spread the word on the family friendly story about an inspirational woman doing right. According to the The New York Times, the film's marketing company -- Grace Hill -- took the "unusual step" of offering on-line sermon outlines based on "The Blind Side" to churches. This included clips from the movie that could be used in churches with video screens.
Some 23,000 houses of worship downloaded the sermons laying out a strong foundation for the film. Another shocking revelation in the article is the depths of Bullock's concerns about her role even during the filming. The fact that she initially turned down the part -- which Julia Roberts also turned down -- is well reported. But uneasiness continued well into production.
The Times quotes Bullock saying the first week was "the worst I ever had."
By week two: "I regretted having taken the film. Like I shouldn't have done this."
Clearly something happened to turn this ship around in a role that could have Bullock winning her first Oscar.

All eyes on Brandon Marshall as he attempts return from foot injury
Brandon Marshall spoke with confidence Friday, unable to hide his smile. He feels ready to play, even if his sprained left foot is not 100 percent. Had Sunday been a regular-season game, Marshall might not be available. But after progressing slowly during the week, Marshall is expected to be active for divisional playoff against the Colts.
The question remains: How effective can he be? Marshall, who missed the final two regular-season games after getting hurt on a tackle against the Chargers, told the Post that he expects to play either base or nickel, but likely not both. The Broncos need to keep him on a play count, and monitor him closely. Marshall sprinted for the first time on Friday. Even he doesn't know how his foot will respond in coverage, when he must move laterally and make quick, decisive cuts.
Marshall is a tackling machine and excels in coverage. But, again, he must be watched. Linebackers Todd Davis and Steven Johnson figure to see plenty of snaps regardless of Marshall's health.
The Broncos should be able to beat the Colts with a limited Marshall. It's hard to see Denver beating the Patriots in New England — if Denver wins Sunday — without Marshall. Getting him back in the lineup is a start. Keeping him healthy in limited duty is equally important.

It occurred to me (while I stew in 33 degree C heat) that you sir, live in Jackson Hole, which is one of my fave ski places.
Are you a skier? Love that Corbett's Couloir. I almost killed myself going down that monster.

Ouch....man you might have just sent her into rehab.
Thanks to me!

Unlike most pleblicans, I'm the boss and can view anything I want to at work. I'm going to check her out more!
Cool, brother. She goes by a few names (due to contracts in different countries for her images), but the most common names are Merilyn Sakova and Anya Zenkova. Be careful when searching her images at work, as it is quite difficult to find a photo with her wearing any clothing. Definitely NSFW.
Ungrateful bastard...

Very interesting post. Amazing the things you can learn by looking to others . . .
DIY is one of my favorite non-money approaches. More people should consider it.
The money economy is one of the givens of modern life. For the ordinary person with bills to pay, getting by without money is almost inconceivable. Even someone who tries hard to escape the money economy is faced with taxes, utility bills, and the like. Personally, though, I find the lure of non-money economies seductive. That's why I've been very interested in this Spanish site whose name means "without money."
After I wrote my post Frugality Goes International on the Turkish frugality site tutumluol.com, I looked around for other foreign frugality sites. The next one I found was sindinero.org. It's different from Wise Bread. Although they are interested in frugality too, their key interest seems to be a bit beyond that--as implied by the name of their site.
I recently interviewed Juan Manuel Sánchez, one of two bloggers for the site, about their site's mission and any tips they might have that might apply outside Spain. Here's what he had to say.
1) The focus of your site seems to be on doing things with no money, rather than simply doing things with less money. Why is that important? Do you think an incremental approach is useful, or is "no money" an all-or-nothing proposition?
An incremental approach could be more useful, although it depends on individual needs. I mean... we have users who simply want to save some money (like families who need to adjust budgets), but there're also visitors very committed to the "no money" idea.
We're very focused on the "no money" philosophy, because we don't believe in capitalism (and making money is the main purpose in this system)...but we assume the reality we live in... and money rules people's lives. So... some of our proposals are thoughts on how to do things with less money, but we're not specialized in this area (moreover, there're many sites working in this way).
2) I've written in the past about economies that aren't based on money (gift economies, command economies, barter economies, etc.). Do any of these match the sort of economic system that you're interested in? Can you describe, or give a name to, the sort of economic system that matches your vision?
Barter economy, no doubt. In Spanish, we call it "trueque", and it matches perfectly the economic system we're interested in. But we think that it shouldn't be just an anti-crisis product... it should be more than it. "Making money" activity would disappear, and the world would be more concerned in human being's real needs. Anyway, "trueque" is becoming very popular...above all, in the internet... the number of "trueque" sites is growing and growing... very probably because of the crisis (I'm afraid it could be just a new fashion in the net... I hope to be wrong).
3)How do your ideas mesh with Spanish traditions? Does what you're trying to do amount to a return to old traditional values where you live, or is it something new?
To be honest, we haven't taken into account any Spanish traditional value...we live in big cities like Madrid and Barcelona (unfortunately, we've grown with McDonald's, Burger King, Hollywood movies, etc. etc.) and we haven't known these traditions. What we're trying to do is not really new... you could find many similar experiences throughout the world. But, maybe (at least in Spain), we're the first ones trying to organize and promote all these ideas in the net... in the way we do...
4) Where you are, which of life's needs are toughest to manage with no money? Housing? Food? Clothing?
Very easy to answer: housing. During the last years, Spain has suffered a terrible "real state" bubble. Prices have grown enormously, producing very bad consequences for young people. Moreover, in Spain, buying a property is an old tradition... so, imagine how frustrated are these persons willing to buy a house (but not able to afford the purchase). But there's a way to react to this problem (becoming more popular) : "okupación"...which means entering an empty building and transforming it into a social centre (and a place to live in... with no money).
5) How much does "do it yourself" figure into your ideas of getting by with no money?
How much? I'd say, a lot. "Do it yourself" helps a lot, although it requires having some skills that some people don't have. It requires a lot of discipline, as well... but you know... if you're not very skilled, you can call somebody able to help you, in exchange of something (another service or product). ¡¡Trueque again!!
6) Do you have a favorite idea or two from your blog that might have broad application internationally?
For travelers: Couchsurfing and Hospitalityclub. I think these social networks are being very successful... internationally.
For language learners: all these sites (social networks again) that contact people to exchange languages using skype and similar services. Thanks to all these websites, you don't need to travel to China to learn Chinese... just "bring" a Chinese speaker to your home and talk with him or her.
Thanks Juan!
Anybody else out there interested not just in living frugally, but in taking a shot at getting by without money? It's something I'm interested in.

Very interesting post. Amazing the things you can learn by looking to others . . .
DIY is one of my favorite non-money approaches. More people should consider it.
Enjoyable post for the most part, but okupación= occupation= squatting. Using someone else's property without permission is the same thing as using someone's car, computer, financial resources, etc. without permission. Voluntarily removing yourself from a money economy is a noble thing, but that doesn't give you the right to steal. It's better (and more honest) to postpone dropping out of a cash society, save, pool resources with other like-minded people, and buy a communal space. Just taking what you want and/or need because you choose not to participate in the economy is wrong.
Unlike America, Spain has a social safety net - universal healthcare access etc. If you live without money over there, you would be taking advantage of the people who work and pay taxes that pays for your healthcare. Living without money would only be fair if you didn't use any of the common resources that are paid for with taxes.
There are definitely horrible excesses with capitalism, but if everyone tried to live sin dinero, there would be nothing to fund medical advances and other things that benefit society. It would be like living in the middle ages again. Removing yourself from the money economy really only works if most everybody else stays in so I don't really see anything to feel smug about.
Yeah, I agree with tfan. Health care is a social issue. Someone has to pick up the pieces and it's really not honorable to force others to cover that if you're able to yourself. I love the sentiment of living off the grid, but it's really not fair in our current situation.
I think that's a good point, although I think it's worth dividing the idea of practicality from the idea of fairness.
A lot of modern frugality is only possible because there are so many unfrugal people around us. When others are buying loads of stuff that they don't need, they inevitably end up having to get rid of the previous loads of stuff they didn't need--simply to make room. That means that there's lots of useful stuff available cheap or free. A lot of it will be stuff you don't need, but mixed in there is the occasional necessary item.
If everyone lived a more frugal life, there'd be a lot less of that cheap and free stuff around.
As far as fairness goes, though, I'm inclined to disagree. Even among the people trying to get by without money, most of them have some contact with the money economy--so they're paying sales taxes and all those fees tacked onto their utility bills. If they drive they're paying fuel taxes and registration fees. And even if they don't, they're still paying them indirectly when they chip in for gas when a friend gives them a ride or when they travel on public transit. If they have any earned income at all they're paying social security taxes and the like.
But even those few people who actually succeed in avoiding the money economy altogether are still contributing. How else are you getting by through barter and sharing and doing for yourself except by contributing things others need? Even if everyone lived this way, it could work--with people taking care of friends and neighbors (and doctors bartering their services just like everyone else).
spain is not the best place to try and live for free. the country has many immigrants from north africa and they only choose to stay there because it is better than their own countries.
I would not advise anyone to go to spain without money to survive on!

NEW YORK — David Clarkson"s deflected goal 2:31 into the third period snapped a tie and lifted the New Jersey Devils to a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one game apiece on Wednesday night.
Clarkson built off the momentum created by Ryan Carter"s goal late in the second period that tied the game, 2-2. Ilya Kovalchuk had given the Devils a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal in the first. Defenseman Bryce Salvador added two assists, and Martin Brodeur stopped 23 saves for the win.
"We had to keep going to the net, and I think we were doing some good things," Clarkson said. "We"ve been playing some good hockey and we"ve got to continue to do it. That is a big win for us."
Marc Staal and Chris Kreider scored in the second for the Rangers, who lost their third straight Game 2 after winning the series opener. Top-seeded New York, which had 24 saves by Henrik Lundqvist, hasn"t had a two-game lead at any point in these playoffs.
Game 3 will be Saturday in New Jersey.
New Jersey got even at 2 when Salvador wound up for a shot at the blue line and fired a drive that Carter — with his back to the net — brilliantly deflected past Lundqvist with 1:51 left in the second. Marian Gaborik stood up straight in front of Salvador, but didn"t drop down as many of his teammates have to try to block the shot. For that, he was pinned to the bench by coach John Tortorella, even through New York"s power play in the third.
Gaborik returned to the ice with 8:40 remaining.
The Devils kept the pressure on the Rangers at the start of the third and wiped out the good work New York displayed in the second. After spending much of the first penned in their own end, the Rangers rebounded to erase their early deficit and briefly take the lead thanks to their previously inept power play.
With Alexei Ponikarovsky off for interference, Staal fired a shot that sailed wide of the net and struck the back boards before popping back in front and pinballing into the net off Salvador and Brodeur at 2:23.
The goal was originally credited to Derek Stepan, who was in front, but the puck managed to miss him both on the way toward the net and on the bounce back.
Staal nearly netted another moments later when he ripped a drive that Brodeur had to lunge fully to his left to snare with his glove.
Kreider, the rookie from Boston College, scored for the second straight game to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead at 12:19. Anton Stralman let go a shot from above the right circle that ticked Kreider"s stick and fluttered past Brodeur for the rookie"s fourth goal. He had to wait to get it because it was first given to Stralman before being changed during a commercial break.
But that was hardly the longest delay of the night. Before Kreider"s power-play goal, the action was stopped for about eight minutes as arena workers struggled to get the door to the Devils" penalty box opened. Travis Zajac stood patiently as he waited to have a seat in the box. He even managed to laugh as did New Jersey coach Peter DeBoer and the usually stoic and agitated Tortorella.
Zajac, who first was sent to the Rangers" box, stayed in New Jersey"s sin bin for only 1:47 before Kreider scored the Rangers" second power-play goal of the night.
New York registered the first six shots of the period before New Jersey had its first about 8 minutes in, but the teams were even at 17 through 40 minutes.
Lundqvist had a bit of glove magic of his own midway through the second when a shot by Anton Volchenkov was deflected by Kovalchuk but tracked and grabbed by Lundqvist.
The Devils got their elusive first goal of the series, and the all-important lead in the game, when Kovalchuk connected on the power play late in the first period.
After Brian Boyle was sent off for slashing Zach Parise, the Devils continued their puck-possession prowess in the Rangers" end. New Jersey moved the puck all around the zone in search of a clean shot that could get past the diving New York defense and perhaps challenge Lundqvist, who made 21 saves in the series-opening win.
Marek Zidlicky curled with the puck to the center of the blue line and slid a pass down to the left circle to Kovalchuk, who calmly and patiently drifted in and snapped a shot up and under the crossbar in the upper corner of the net for his sixth goal of the playoffs and fourth on the power play.
The Devils didn"t record a shot on goal until 6:01 in when Patrik Elias put a wrist shot in on Lundqvist, but New Jersey finished the first period with an 8-5 edge in shots — despite having six more blocked by the Rangers.
Whether Brodeur was kidding or not about wanting Rangers to be injured by blocking shots, the home team wasn"t deterred from getting in front of drives. New York forward Brandon Prust was doing a bit of a dance in front of the dangerous Kovalchuk, trying to deny any potential drive, even though he was defending without a stick.
When Kovalchuk finally scored later in the period, he let out a big yell — part celebration and an exclamation of relief — as he skated in front of the glass behind the net.
NOTES: The Rangers were 10 for 61 (16.4 percent) on the power play in the postseason before Wednesday. This marked the second time they netted a man-advantage goal in consecutive games, but they fourth time they scored two in a game. … The Devils returned defenseman Peter Harrold to the lineup and sat rookie Adam Larsson. Harrold replaced Larsson in the lineup late in the season and started the first nine postseason games. Larsson played in the previous five games. … Salvador already had a career-best six points in the playoffs before Game 2.

BALTIMORE – Following a successful exhibition meet at Bucknell last Saturday, the UMBC swimming and diving program kicks off its 2013-14 dual meet schedule by traveling to New Jersey to take on Rider on Saturday afternoon at Coppola Pool.
The Retrievers and Broncs have met to open the season each of the last four years with UMBC coming away victorious each time. The last time that the Black and Gold started the season against a team other than Rider was in 2008 when UMBC traveled to Raleigh, N.C. to take on N.C. State.
In Pennsylvania last weekend, the Retrievers got the season going with a bang by claiming 25 of the 44 events contested against Bucknell. Senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) was in fine early-season form, sweeping the three individual medley events. Classmate Johan Rohtla (Tallinn, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) was also impressive for the men's squad, claiming all three backstroke events against the Bison.
The Retrievers also got contributions from senior Tim Perkins (Frederick, Md./Tuscarora), who swept the diving events, and sophomore Leo Endres (Bamberg, Germany/Kaiser Heinrich Gymnasium) who won the 50-yd. and 100-yd. breaststroke events. Freshmen Andrew McKissick (Ellicott City, Md./Mount St. Joseph's) and Gregor Sporlein (Bamberg, Germany/Calvius-Gymnasium), meanwhile, earned wins in the 500 free and 100 free, respectively.
For the women, rookies Emily Escobedo (New Rochelle, N.U./Maria Regina) and Kayla Lilly (Natick, Mass./Medfield) were impressive at their first collegiate competition, each picking up three victories. Escobedo earned wins in the 50, 100, and 200-yd. breast competitions while Lilly won the 100, 200, and 400-yd. IM races.
Senior Talor Tadena (Orangevale, Calif./Bella Vista) and sophomore Corinna Darelius (Rye, N.Y./Rye) also earned wins, claiming the 50 fly and 3-meter diving competitions.
In addition, the Retrievers were victorious in each of the four relay races, sweeping the opening 200 medley relay and finishing with wins in the 400 freestyle relay.
