Video of SSU Holocaust and Genocide Lecture Series 30th Anniversary Event
The Center for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide is a non-profit academic institute housed in the School of Social Sciences at Sonoma State University. The Center was formally constituted in February 1987 for the purpose of providing education about the origins, nature and consequences of the Holocaust. In recent years, the Center has broadened and expanded its focus to include the study of issues surrounding other historical and modern genocides.
The primary activities of the Center have been weekly, public Holocaust Lectures throughout the Spring Semester each year; the development of Holocaust resource materials (publications, videotapes, etc.) for campus, school, and public use; and cooperative efforts with a community-based group, the Alliance for the Study of the Holocaust, to provide Holocaust education in the SSU service area schools.
The Center promotes research on Holocaust themes and has also sponsored conferences, teacher training workshops, film series and author presentations. In collaboration with the Schulz Information Center, other regional libraries and the Holocaust Library in San Francisco, it endeavors to maintain and enhance the SSU Holocaust collection.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The No. 10 Salisbury University football team capitalized on three fourth-quarter turnovers to erase a three-point lead for eighth-ranked and previously undefeated St. John Fisher College, going on to a 28-17 victory over the host Cardinals at Growney Stadium Saturday.
With St. John Fisher up, 17-14, with 7:30 remaining in the game, Salisbury sophomore linebacker Steven Gamble stripped Cardinals backup quarterback Tyler Fenti of the ball and recovered it on the Fisher 6-yard line. Two plays later, junior slot Ross Flanigan punched it in from 5 yards for a 21-17 advantage.
Two possessions later, with Cardinals facing a third-and-10 on their 2-yard line, Fenti lofted a pass down the left sideline that senior cornerback Paul Moore grabbed and returned 32 yards for a touchdown for the final margin with 2:59 left. Junior safety Greg Stanton then picked off Fenti again on the Cardinals' last drive to seal the win.
Flanigan led the Salisbury (4-1, 2-0 Empire 8) rushing offense, which was held to just 150 yards on the day, with 55 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns.
Senior quarterback Dan Griffin was 6-for-7 with 124 yards and one passing touchdown. He added 33 yards on 12 rushing attempts.
St. John Fisher (4-1, 1-1), which outgained the Sea Gulls, 299-249, and controlled the ball for over 31 minutes, opened the scoring in the second quarter on a 32-yard Brendan Carey field goal with 12:36 left in the first half.
After a 51-yard Kyle Hamby punt to the 17. The Cardinals took the ball 54 yards in 11 plays, chewing up 5:22 on the clock before Carey missed a 41-yard kick to the right.
Salisbury wasted no time taking advantage of the miss. Griffin found sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Taylor on a 77-yard touchdown pass to give the Gulls their first lead of the day with 4:54 left before the break.
Fenti, who came in for starter Ryan Kramer after Gamble sack in the first quarter, took St. John Fisher down the field to reclaim the lead before the half. The Cardinals posted four first downs on the 12-play, 64-yard drive, and Cody Miller found the end zone on a 6-yard run for a 10-7 edge.
Salisbury took the opening kick of the second half and embarked on its longest touchdown drive of the day of 56 yards in seven plays. The key play came on the Fisher 26 when Griffin scampered 18 yards up the middle to the 8-yard line, setting up a Flanigan score. He fumbled on the 9, but regained the handle and charged in for the touchdown.
The Cardinals retook the lead at 17-14 when Fenti scored on a 2-yard rush with 5:18 left in the third quarter.
Taylor, Flanigan and senior Juma Richards made two catches apiece with Taylor going for a game-high 86 yards and the score.
Gamble posted a game-best 14 tackles (nine solo), 2.5 for loss, 1.5 sacks and the forced fumble and recovery. Senior linebacker Rodney Hill also had double-digit tackles with 11 total, including six solo stops.
Fenti finished 11-for-19 with 122 yards and two interceptions for the Cardinals. Miller ran 24 times for 106 and a touchdown and Matt Monacelli caught five passes for 43 yards. Defensively, Zach Dolan recorded 10 total tackles and one for loss.
Salisbury returns to Sea Gull Stadium next Saturday to host Hartwick College on Homecoming. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.

Kanye West + M.I.A.'s Outrageous Demands Revealed in Tour Riders
While some stars have relatively simple demands in their riders (see Nicki Minaj and Adele), others are pretty high maintenance. Joining the diva ranks? Kanye West and M.I.A.
Yeezy's demands are unusual, but considering the source, probably not unexpected. West specifically requests "imported and recut Versace towels." To shower in? Nope. He just uses them to wipe the sweat off his brow.
It gets better. West doesn't want the best textiles just for himself, but also for his employees. The Sun reports that West "demands that any drivers ferrying him are clad in 100 per cent cotton: No man-made fibers."
M.I.A. doesn't seem to have a taste for American food. Her rider requests a European cheese and cracker tray and Italian chocolates (no Hershey's here!). The 'Bad Girls' songstress also asks for hummus and pita bread.
We know what she eats, so what does M.I.A. sip on? She asks for bottles of rum, vodka, tequila, white wine, red wine and a six-pack of Heineken — and something much more powerful. M.I.A. also requests a bottle of absinthe.
Ihe most bizarre request between the two goes to M.I.A. The Sri Lankan spitter demands the venue hire three female extras for every one of her shows. The women need to be between 20 and 25 years old and are required to "groove to the music" onstage with her for the entire show. That doesn't sound too bad, until you read further: the women are required to be dressed in "full-covered Burkas," which M.I.A. expects the venue to provide. Do they usually have those handy at Madison Square Garden? Give 'em a break, M.I.A.!

The college football picks for Week 5 are in, and Sporting News' Matt Hayes and Steve Greenberg offer their picks and predictions the upcoming weekend.
No. 8 STANFORD at WASHINGTON (THURSDAY)
Hayes (32-8; 9-1 last week): Stanford 30, Washington 21. A bye week last week will do wonders for Stanford, which doesn't have to deal with a short week in preparation for the Thursday night game in Seattle. It also helps that the Cardinal are a full 11 days removed from another big win over USC. No letdown here.
Greenberg (32-8; 8-2 last week): Washington 23, Stanford 20. Um, the Huskies are coming off a bye week, too, in case anyone cares. So the byes cancel each other out; meanwhile, home-field advantage will be the deciding factor. Josh Nunes, say hello to the mega-challenge of playing a good team on the road in a crazy stadium.
No. 18 OREGON STATE at ARIZONA
Hayes: Oregon State 33, Arizona 16. Arizona isn't as bad as it looked in last week's emasculation at the hands of Oregon. And Oregon State is better than it looked in last week's victory at UCLA. (P.S. The Civil War is going to be big again.)
Greenberg: Arizona 27, Oregon State 24. It's not that I don't believe the Beavers (3-9 in 2011) are a lot better this season. I do. But as for their much-ballyhooed wins over "ranked" teams, check with me at season's end and let's see if either UCLA or Wisconsin is ranked. Or if Oregon State is, for that matter.
No. 2 OREGON at WASHINGTON STATE
Greenberg: Oregon 48, Washington State 20. I figured Mike Leach would be good for at least one Texas Tech-sized upset in his first run through the Pac-12, but now? Wait 'til next year. Any team capable of losing, anywhere, but especially at home, to Colorado can't be coached up to hang with the Ducks.
Hayes: Oregon 56, Washington State 6. If Chip Kelly really wanted to score a hundred on the Cougars, could he? You bet your sweet bippy he could. Remember that when we're arguing about strength of schedule.
No. 4 FLORIDA STATE at USF
Hayes: FSU 24, USF 21. A natural letdown for the Seminoles, who played just about as well as they could offensively against Clemson last week and eventually figured it out defensively. Another problem for FSU: The Bulls, who beat the 'Noles three years ago, are desperate after back-to-back losses to Rutgers and Ball State.
Greenberg: FSU 35, USF 13. It's not the Seminoles' problem that the Bulls are desperate. They're desperate because they're a bad team. A bad team that gets no fan support in its own backyard. Ooh, scary.
TENNESSEE at No. 5 GEORGIA
Greenberg: Georgia 34, Tennessee 10. Jarvis Jones, I'd like you to meet Tyler Bray. Tyler, say hel...no, on second thought, just run.
Hayes: Georgia 41, Tennessee 16. Here's the problem with Tennessee (other than they're not that good): the Vols fall behind, Bray gets bored and loses interest, then starts firing throws in place he shouldn't. That means short fields for the balanced Georgia offense.
No. 25 BAYLOR at No. 9 WEST VIRGINIA
Greenberg: West Virginia 59, Baylor 27. Not even the RG3-led Bears could've won in Morgantown, not against this supercharged offense in that supercharged environment. The Legend of Geno continues to grow.
Hayes: WVU 34, Baylor 30. Not even RG3? When did West By God become an SEC team? The Mountaineers had trouble putting away Maryland last week. Let's not put them in South Florida in January just yet, Steve-O.
No. 12 TEXAS at OKLAHOMA STATE
Hayes: Texas 38, Oklahoma State 17. The first game on Texas' road back to respectability. Longhorns QB David Ash is confident and the offense is protecting the ball. And the Oklahoma State defense is, if this is possible, worse than last year's unit that lived on turnovers to stop drives.
Greenberg: Texas 45, Oklahoma State 38. This is the Big 12, folks, sometimes you just have to score your rear ends off in order to win. It doesn't mean the Longhorns don't have a terrific defense. They do. Again, that's life in the Big 12.
No. 14 OHIO STATE at No. 20 MICHIGAN STATE
Greenberg: Michigan State 20, Ohio State 17. It'll be a grind for the offensively challenged Spartans to get to 20, but they'll do it with the help of Braxton Miller's first major screw-up as Urban Meyer's guy. Or, if you like this story line better: Mark Dantonio wins one for his ol' bud Jimbo Tressel.
Hayes: Michigan State 20, Ohio State 6. That Dantonio-Tressel storyline is all well and good, but Ohio State has yet to play a team that can play defense. Here comes Mean and Nasty (cut me some slack; there has to be something positive about the B1G) in the form of Sparty on D.
WISCONSIN at No. 22 NEBRASKA
Greenberg: Nebraska 38, Wisconsin 13. This is payback, big-time, for the Badgers' 48-17 romp last year in Madison. I don't see how Joel Stave, with his extra-long and syrupy-slow throwing motion, as well as zero experience dealing with a good team's pass rush, can possibly thrive in this kind of a game.
Hayes: Nebraska 35, Wisconsin 16. I don't care who is playing quarterback for Wisky. Joel Stave, Rico Suave or Sexy Steve Greenberg (a UW alum, by the way). Bucky's big issue this weekend will be stopping Taylor Martinez. Not gonna happen.
CINCINNATI vs. VIRGINIA TECH
Hayes: Virginia Tech 27, Cincinnati 17. We now resume regular programming of our annual show with Virginia Tech. A stunning September loss is followed by a suddenly focused and sharp team playing with a purpose.
Greenberg: Virginia Tech 26, Cincinnati 24. Why am I not going with the Bearcats here? I want to, but for some reason I just can't pull the trigger. If this were at Nippert Stadium, but alas, the Hokies eke it out in the Redskins' house.

Gilles Simon just got a standing ovation after successfulluy fending off Taiwanese player Yen-Hsun Lu in three sets. The second round men's singles the BNP Paribas Open was pretty high-quality… 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 or something like that.
Congrats to him and a pat on the back to Lu for showing the world that the Chinese men can play ball like the rest of 'em!
Event minutiae: Meanwhile, we're all waiting for Blake and Nieminen to go into a third set at Stadium 1, because if Blake wins in 2, we'll have to schlep all the way there to watch Hewitt/Gonzo. Otherwise, Hewitt/Gonzo stays here, as planned.
(Yep, folks, these are the things tourney organizers have to think about!)
…Poor Blake, but yay for us, because he's mired in a third set against the Finn. Hewitt/Gonzo starts soon.

Tamela Mann rocks music charts
Chelsea Jones | 2/12/2014, 6:54 p.m.
The Dallas Examiner
Tamela Mann, acclaimed gospel singer and actress, ended 2013 with a bang by securing top spots on Billboard's 2013 Year-End Charts with her fourth and bestselling album, Best Days. Dominating the gospel genre, she received four number one positions including Top Gospel Album and Top Gospel Artist.
Her album also ranked high on other Billboard charts that spanned across all genres. They included No. 8 on the Top Independent Artist list, No. 9 on the list of Independent Album of the Year, and No. 119 on the Top 200 Albums chart.
Mann expressed her excitement about her success.
"Oh my God! O-M-G! I'm ecstatic. To me it's a great honor," Mann gushed. "I don't really have words to say. I'm just in awe. I'm just really grateful."
She admitted that the outcome shocked her. Describing herself as an artist who's not comprehensively knowledgeable about music accolades, she commented that her husband, David Mann – also a gospel singer and actor – had to inform her that her accomplishment was remarkable.
First released in 2012, Best Days also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's 2012 Top Gospel Album and Top Christian/Gospel charts. It had the highest sales and the most radio play for gospel for over 20 weeks. In addition, the record ranked first on the Christian Music Trade Association's 2012 Current Gospel Overall chart.
Mann mentioned that the creation of the album was inspired by the album's song, Best Days. Her producer, Marvin Butler, wrote the song and was preparing to send it to another artist when she first heard it. After listening to the song a few times, Mann stated that she knew she had to sing it.
"I was like, 'This song is for me; I need to give this to the people.' When I heard it, I just felt in my spirit like our best days are yet to come. It's like I'm believing, I'm speaking, I'm declaring it – that these things are going to happen, even for myself. That's how the album title came about," Mann said.
The album's hit single, Take Me to the King, earned Mann her first Grammy award nomination for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance.
Noted gospel musician and choir director Kirk Franklin wrote and produced the song.
Before it was recorded, he invited her to his house to review it. Mann said that she had no idea the song would be a hit.
"I knew I liked it, and I knew the lyrics meant a lot to me right off the bat. Because on my way home from his house, I had memorized it that quick. I didn't know then that it was going to be a hit. [But] you know that you have that hope that something is going to do well. One thing that got me was that my grandkids started singing the song. I mean they were really into it," Mann said.
Furthermore, she iterated that she knew Take Me to the King was important because it delivered such a powerful message. She explained that she's overjoyed when she hears the song on the radio.

Ondrej Pavelec perfect in return to Jets net; Winnipeg downs Predators 5-0NHL.com @NHLdotcom
WINNIPEG - Ondrej Pavelec couldn't have asked for a better return after a two-game absence.
Pavelec made 41 saves as the Winnipeg Jets shut out the Nashville Predators 5-0 on Friday with the help of a four-goal first period.
It was Pavelec's first shutout since March 12, 2012, 11th of his career, and came after he was replaced by Al Montoya the past two games.
"I didn't play a few days so I felt a little bit nervous," Pavelec said. "I just wanted to help the guys get the win. That was my goal today and so I'm happy we get the win."
It was only Winnipeg's (7-9-2) second win in its last six games, as Montoya backstopped the Jets to a 4-2 victory over Detroit on Monday and then a 4-1 loss in Chicago on Wednesday.
Bryan Little, Olli Jokinen and Eric Tangradi scored for Winnipeg in the first 8:23 of the opening period, followed by Devin Setoguchi making it 4-0 at the 16:45 mark of the first period.
The first-period barrage was the most goals the Jets have scored in a period since March 1, 2012, when they recorded five against Florida.
Fans at the MTS Centre gave the Jets a standing ovation as they left the ice for the first intermission.
The Predators, coming off road wins against Colorado and Los Angeles, move to 8-6-2.
"I give a lot of credit to Pavelec," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "I mean, to me, if we can get through that first period 3-0, I believe we have a chance to come back. Not saying we would've, but we have a chance to get back in the hockey game.
"I thought the killer goal in that game was the fourth goal."
Little added his second goal of the game, and 10th of the season, midway through the third period to make it 5-0.
"I think we just kept it simple," said Little, who leads his team with 15 points. "We came out really hard, which was great."
Andrew Ladd, playing in his 550th NHL game, and Blake Wheeler each had a pair of assists and Jokinen added an assist to go with his goal.
Jokinen wasn't over-excited about the victory.
"It's good we scored four goals in the first period, but it was far from a complete game," said a subdued Jokinen. "The last 40 minutes was not the way we should play. We take two points and we can be happy, but there's no reason to plan the parade on Portage Avenue."
Tangradi's slight redirection of a Dustin Byfuglien point shot sent goalie Carter Hutton to the bench in favour of Marek Mazanec at 8:23 of the first.
Mazanec, called up from Milwaukee of the AHL on Nov. 5 and playing in his first NHL game, turned aside 21 of the 23 shots he faced.
Hutton stopped five of the eight shots he faced in 8:23 of work.
Nashville is without veteran netminder Pekka Rinne, who was placed on injured reserve Oct. 24 with what's now being reported as an E. coli infection in his hip.
When asked about the report, Trotz said he hasn't talked to Rinne about that.
"I know that the doctors are still working with him and he's on schedule," said Trotz.
That schedule was "when he was supposed to return," which had been about six weeks.
Winnipeg's scoring began with an unexpected move by Little that earned him his team-leading ninth goal.
After picking up a rebound in the slot off a shot by Ladd, Little moved to the face-off circle with his back to Hutton, but then spun around and fired the puck past the netminder at 3:02.
Jokinen scored his third of the season with a close wrist shot at 6:47 off a pass by Evander Kane, but he wasn't over-excited about the victory.
Byfuglien's blast from the point caught a bit of Tangradi as he was screening Hutton.
Mazanec entered the game and Setoguchi scored on his team's 11th shot of the night after Jokinen won the faceoff and passed the puck to his teammate in front of the net.
"He's a battler," Trotz said of Mazanec. "He's a young man who has a lot of talent. Still has to learn to play goal. It was a good night for him to go in for us."
Little's second goal couldn't miss as Mazenec was stretching back across the front of the net to follow the rebound off a Ladd shot, but Little fired the puck over his body at 9:53 for the 5-0 gap.
Nashville was 0 for 4 on the power play and Winnipeg 0 for 3.
The fans gave the Jets another loud standing ovation during the final minute of the game.
"A night like tonight we'll take the 5-0 game, but it wasn't necessarily a clinic, but we'll take the win," Jets coach Claude Noel said.
"We've had enough heartache for a while, we'll take one of these."
Winnipeg hosts San Jose on Sunday, while Nashville continues its season-long, seven-game road trip with the fifth stop Sunday in New Jersey.

The Manta Reel: The ultimate in dive reels with features unlike any other on the market today. Constructed from the highest quality materials, it's made to with stand the demands of today's rescue diver. Manta's most popular reel, the Jr is the perfect primary reel for all divers. Compact and loaded with practical features, the Jr delivers peace of mind. Designed for deployment of lift bags the Rescue Jr is constructed with all stainless-steel hardware, the spool is machined out of one piece of UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) plastic. This plastic has one of the highest resistances to the elements, and reel is supplied with 100' (30.5 meters) of #36 line.
The reels frame is anodized aluminum and the 3.25" (8.3 cm) bolt clip is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Reel is factory set for tension, yet it still has a diver adjustable tension control. The unique spring loaded AFS (Anti-Free Spool) system mechanically prevents free falling and free spooling of line which almost eliminates the chance of backlash or bird nesting. When you want to disengage the AFS the reel is equipped with the Cave Cam. The Cave Cam is specifically designed to aid cave divers in long exploratory penetrations. To activate the Cave Cam, the diver turns a specially designed cam 180°, this in turn raises the AFS system off of the spool eliminating the need to squeeze it in order to deploy or retrieve line. The reel is made in the USA.
This product has a limited warranty of 60 months.

I wish I would have bought this sooner --- I known I won't be replacing this reel.

Improving Immunity by Detoxifying Your Body and Your Life
The immune system works hard all the time to keep an eye out for "dangerous strangers" to the body, which gets harder to do when the body is also busy dealing with toxic chemicals, hormone overload, and a sluggish system. Here are some strategies for assisting your body's detoxification systems; the reward is a healthier immune system.
Drink more water! Your kidneys flush out toxins, but they need water to do their job. Most people are chronically dehydrated, and coffee, tea, soda, and sweetened drinks just make it worse. Shoot for drinking half of your weight in ounces of water each day; for example, if you weigh 100 pounds, drink 50 ounces of water.
Support your liver. The liver does most of the detoxification. Support it with green tea, loads of cruciferous veggies, like broccoli and cauliflower, and enough protein.
Get moving to stimulate your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system doesn't have a pump the way the blood's circulatory system does. It requires the work of the muscles around it to move lymph, so exercise and movement are key to good detoxification. Lymphatic massage is also helpful, as is dry skin brushing — a technique that uses a soft brush to stroke the skin from the extremities toward the heart, moving lymph gently along the lymphatic pathways.
Clean up your world! The less environmental pollution you have to contend with, the happier your liver will be. You can detoxify your environment by simply not using plastic, eating organic whenever possible, and cleaning out the duct work in your home. Using air purifiers and water filters and avoiding most dry cleaners also can have a huge impact on the amount of damaging toxins in your day-to-day life.

March 10 (UPI) -- Colorado is rolling in the (cookie) dough.
The tax figures are in, and in the first month of recreational pot sales, the state pulled in $2.1 million in tax revenue and fees, plus an additional $1.4 million from medical marijuana.
Figures published by the state Department of Revenue show $14 million worth of pot was sold in January, the first month Colorado's first-in-the-nation law legalizing marijuana for recreational use was in effect.
"This is revenue directly out of the hands of cartels," said Brian Vicente, who helped pass the law. "These tax numbers will probably grow over time, but since it's a new market, will have to wait and see."
January's numbers were skewed downward, thanks to the small number of stores ready to do business on day one, but skewed up as customers rushed to be among the first to buy their weed legally.
The office of Gov. John Hickenlooper predicted total taxes and fees would exceed $35 million by June and $188 million in the fiscal year beginning July.
The law, passed by voters in November, requires the first $40 million raised to go to school construction and improvement.

Diane Gibson stands behind fellow educators suing the state over controversial school vouchers.
Diane Gibson stands behind fellow educators suing the state over controversial school vouchers.
The local chapter president of the North Carolina Association of Educators said it�s wrong to use taxpayer dollars to pay private school tuition for low-income students. A state law takes affect next year providing an annual grant of $4,200 per qualifying student for tuition. Gibson said it diverts money from public schools.
When some first hear of the idea of school vouchers, they think it�s a good idea because it gives parents more options for educating their children, she said. �We�re not saying you can�t have choices. We�re saying don�t take taxpayer money to do it,� Gibson said.
Twenty-five plaintiffs, including parents, teachers, and education leaders, filed a lawsuit against the state in Wake County Superior Court Wednesday challenging the constitutionality of the law. The NCAE and the N.C. Justice Center are sponsoring the suit.
Gaston County Schools Superintendent Reeves McGlohon said the vouchers will dilute the pool of resources made available to public schools. �If we�re going to provide public tax dollars to private schools, I think the accountability standards ought to be the same as they are in public schools,� he said. �Currently that is not the case.�
Public school records are required to be accessible, including teacher salaries and student test scores. The system is also required to serve all students regardless of background and learning ability.
Gibson said private schools may discriminate based on their mission statements. And she argues the accountability to the public is not the same. �To take public funds and invest it in private schools that don�t serve everyone doesn�t seem like something we want to do,� she said.

USDA Resources for New Farmers
Our soil is a living resource with biological, chemical, and physical properties that are always changing. Healthy soil gives us clean air and water, bountiful crops and forests, productive grazing lands, diverse wildlife, and beautiful landscapes.
In Virginia, we believe that soil health is the next frontier of conservation and the future of private land conservation. Beyond sustainability, soil health focuses on increasing organic matter, water infiltration and holding capacity to build and enhance this precious resource. The soil still holds many secrets and we don't yet know them all.
Virginia NRCS seeks to promote a culture of sharing among farmers about soil health through:
A soil survey is a scientific inventory of this most basic and important natural resources that provides the basic information needed to manage soil sustainably. Surveys also offer information needed to protect water quality, wetlands, and wildlife habitat.
Soil surveys are the basis for predicting the behavior of a soil under alternative uses, its potential erosion hazard, potential for ground water contamination, suitability and productivity for cultivated crops, trees, and grasses.
The Virginia NRCS soils program assists government agencies and private citizens in understanding and applying soil information for the Commonwealth. Soil surveys are important to planners, engineers, zoning commissions, tax commissioners, homeowners, developers, as well as agricultural producers.
NRCS Soil Scientists have completed initial soil survey mapping of Virginia's 26 million acres. This information, vital for making wise land use decisions, is now readily available online for all residents to use through the Web Soil Survey.

Roy Lichtenstein in His Studio. By Laurie Lambrecht, with a foreword by Dorothy Lichtenstein and an essay by Edward Robinson. Monacelli Press, 2011. 128 pp., illustrated thoughout, 9,8x9,8". Images from here.
I appreciate and value Lichtenstein's contribution to art, but I must say I'm not personally that intrigued. I am however absolutely entranced by his studio and process, which I've previously been fortunate to see in various documentaries, and this book gives us further insight into.
Book description:
" 'Roy Lichtenstein in His Studio' is a portfolio of vivid and engaging photographs by Laurie Lambrecht, who was an administrative assistant to Lichtenstein for three years. She and the artist worked together daily, and the bond between them is evident in the photographs.
Lichtenstein is shown working on two major series, 'Reflections' and 'The Interiors'. He is completely absorbed, oblivious to the camera, as he mounts ladders, assembles colors, composes, and steps back to consider the effect.
During this period Lambrecht assisted in gathering material for a major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. As a result, the photographs include scrapbooks and sketchbooks and other archival material that document Lichtenstein's entire career.
There are stencils of Ben-Day dots, clippings from newspapers and comic books, Polaroid snapshots, rolls of tape, and boxes of colored pencils.
Lichtenstein encouraged Lambrecht to make photographs and was often pleased and amused by the results. These images offer fascinating insight into Lichtenstein's working processes and source materials, as well as being vibrant works of art in their own right.
In her essay Dorothy Lichtenstein, wife of the artist, recalls the collegial atmosphere of the studios in New York and Southampton in the early 1990s, a time of extraordinary productivity. Edward Robinson, an associate curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, describes Lambrecht's process and approach."

MVC in a Java/Swing Application
Spend enough time writing code, and you will eventually hear of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm: your data, business logic, and presentation should all be separate entities. Consider how J2EE applications use combinations of servlets and filters for the controller layer and JSP pages for the view layer of an MVC-based web application. With that being said, I have not seen as much effort directed at desktop application. Examples for Swing applications tend to lump the entirety of the control layer (and indeed even business logic) directly into the view layer—that is, into the various frame and panel classes.
In this article, I will present one way you might put some separation between the view and control components in a desktop application. The example I present will be, by necessity, rather simplified. It will be possible to code the entire demo application in one class. It may even be faster that way. However, larger applications with more complex requirements tend to not fit into the one-class solution category, and it is for these larger, more complex applications that you might appreciate having an extra design strategy in your arsenal.
The Demo App, Defined
Consider that you want a simple Swing-based application that allows the user to enter text and then have certain special characters be escaped. Specifically, you want to escape a few of the characters that would cause trouble in an XML or an HTML document: the greater-than, less-than, and ampersand characters. (How many online forum posts ran into trouble when the poster simply copied-and-pasted a big chunk of code without accounting for the special characters?)
Figure 1: Screenshot of demo application (Mac OS X platform)
As I mentioned above, this can be quite simply done in a single class that extends JFrame and implements ActionListener to pick up the button press. The actionPerformed() method could directly yank out the text from the text component, perform whatever operations needed to transform it, and then replace the text in the text component with the modified form.
What happens in the more elaborate applications where the button, text component, and frame class all need to be in separate classes? Certainly, it is still easy to make the program function, but where do you put the workhorse code? The simplest solution tends to put the workhorse code in the top-level frame class because it tends to be able to see all the UI components underneath it. This also becomes non-optimal as more and more workhorse code builds up in the top-level frame class.
What happens if you completely overhaul the layout of the user interface? Maybe a few panels appear to better organize existing components, a menu comes into the mix, or you change widget sets (such as from Swing to SWT) entirely. Maybe you want to add command-line batch capability where the UI is not even shown at all. The more you find the business logic that affects what information the user sees getting intertwined with the display logic that allows the user to see and manipulate that information, the more strongly (and needlessly) coupled they become. The event handling code for a button has to account for the new panels, for example. Designs such as these will hit a wall eventually.
Enter the Controller
An alternative solution I am presenting here involves the creation of a "controller" class whose job it is to contain the interactions of the user interface components and to interact with other "business logic" classes. This class is not a descendant of any Swing class—it is a direct subclass of the humble Object class. The controller will need to basically perform two functions: keep track of references to user interface components that will be updated or modified in some way (such as the text field in our demo), and provide a set of methods that other components can directly call in their event handler (such as the button in the demo).
The primary use case of the demo application is this:
- The user enters some text and then presses the button.
- The button's actionPerformed() method simply calls a method in the controller class.
- The controller class, storing a reference to the text component, grabs the current text value.
- The controller class uses a utility class to transform the text.
- The controller class inserts the modified text back into the text component.
Note: The controller does not, for the purposes of the demo, need a reference to the button itself because it does not take any actions that affect the button. It only affects the text component.
Designing the controller
The next consideration is how the controller class itself should be designed. My opinion is currently that, given the nature of what it is doing, only one instance of the controller class is ever needed. The user is, after all, single threaded with respect to their usage of the application. Given the way that various user interface classes might need to all interact with this single controller instance, a completely static-method class design might suffice. Instead, I prefer to go with a singleton design pattern for the controller, providing a static getInstance() method for all the user interface classes to utilize, but otherwise providing non-static methods for the event handlers to talk to. (The singleton class has a benefit over the fully-static class in that static methods do not inherit into a subclass, should you ever be faced with the need to so do.) Next, some setter methods need to be present to initialize the reference(s) to the interface element(s) that the controller needs to interact with. Finally, some methods need to be present that trigger something interesting to happen.
Tip: Where possible, I recommend that the controller class use the most abstract or most generic forms of user interface components possible. For example, you can use JTextComponent instead of JTextField or JTextArea, or JToggleButton instead of JCheckbox. This allows you to absorb a few user interface design changes with no impact to the controller class itself.
For the demo, the basic skeleton of the controller is:
public class AppController { //singleton class details private static AppController instance = null; protected AppController() { ... } public static AppController getInstance() { ... } //controller details private JTextComponent textComponent = null; public void setTextComponent(TextComponent tc) { ... } public void handleEscapeAction() { ... } public void handleExitAction() { ... } }

What?! No pork?!
(To the tune of Weezer) — Say it ain't so!
What would become of our noche buena (and media noche) without our beloved jamón?!
No hamon or even pork adobo for many this Xmas
It may be a blue Christmas for many pork-loving Filipino families. Powerful storms and widespread flooding in recent weeks killed many pigs, creating a looming pork shortage that will be felt most during the holiday season.
Meanwhile, meat importers have been unable to secure adequate overseas supplies to make up for the shortfall. The result could be sky-high prices.
Even those families who save up for a hearty noche buena may be unable to buy pork. Click here for more.
And with global warming making things worse for us each passing year –this time destroying much of our livestock–, former matinee idol Richard Gómez thinks it is best to grab as much "pork" as he can.

I have no idea how he has that good of vision and able to make so many people miss in that split second. my frustrated thought I have seen comments about Rex Ryan and how his mentality (good or bad) has infected the team and how they play and looking at SheTexan's thread my random thought (and I am NOT saying Kubiak needs to be like Ryan) is here are the Jets and they are going to fine Sanchez (in practice) every time he has bad body language and I see a picture and read an article where it is from the top of the chain to the bottom...everyone is saying "it is my fault" .. just seems like Texans have come to expect have bad things happen to them and it does.. I like the jets approach on what they are doing. I want to see some freaking fire on the TV on sunday .. Green Bay was pumped up last night.. I hardly see the Texans get pumped up but for just a few times. (and not a D-rob pump up thing where they forget that the next play is coming)

Hey Blogland! I'm afraid blogging wasn't real high on my priority list lately! Instead work, dinners, day trips, cocktail parties and high teas filled my year so far.
I've also been pondering on what I would like to achieve this year. Last year was all about getting back on my feet and enjoying my new life. But now my new life is my new normal, and the question is: what's next? Because I can't shake the feeling I'm not quite there yet. Right now I am dividing my time and energy over a hundred little things, which makes for a comfortable and stable life. Which is very nice!! But what would happen if I would pick a certain direction, focus most of my time and energy on it and follow it through? And more importantly: which direction would I chose?! What do I consider to be the most important things in my life?
So.... I did what any sane person should do in the face of all these important life-questions. I took a break and enjoyed a wintery walk through The Wild ;) And at the end of the walk I didn't have one single answer to any of my questions, but I did have a few lovely snapshots of a lovely day.
So at least that's something ;)
Enjoy! x

Men who knit?From Crochet to Collectables and other Interests

Men who knit?
I can't help Helen I am afraid but her post made me ask if there are men here who knit.
I knitted cardigans for each of my kids when they were born, so with our first grandchild arriving a few weeks ago, with the help of Mrs Fab, I knitted little Rose a sleeping bag.
Re: Men who knit?
A couple of my male friends were taught to knit as children, but they never knitted as adults.
A wool shop in a nearby(ish) village is run by two guys who crochet. They hold knit and natter groups too.

3 children, 3 grandchildren, 3 chooks, 3 fish, a shrimp that thinks its a prawn and a dappy dog.
Re: Men who knit?
It was my mom who taught me to knit when I was a kid. I remember that it was when Blue Peter was asking kids to knit simple squares that were to be made up into blankets for some appeal one year. I guess it is a bit like riding a bike really.
Re: Men who knit?
I don't know of a man who knits, although my late f-in-law did beautiful cross stitching, taught when he was for a long time in a sanatorium.
It is a shame that lots of men consider this a woman thing, especially when women are now getting into the more masculine considered crafts, like woodworking. Great that your mum taught you and something to be proud to say you can do.
I am now a widow and live with Beau my little rescue dog, Mistie cat and Rosie my last chicken.
Re: Men who knit?
I don't know many women who knit, now-a-days. Though every-one used to. I remember using the time on the Tube going to school to knit stripey babies vests to send to the missionaries. That was my limit. Someone in our class used to knit under her desk, without looking or moving her arms. But modern tops are so easy-care that I don't wear many of the jumpers by MIL and sister knitted for me.
My grandad embroidered, he too learnt in hospital as occupational therapy. He'd buy linen tablecloths with patterns transferred on and a colour chart. I have one that he made for my 21st. That was another thing I did, but my attempts were chain stitch and lazy daisy, his were satin stitch. All the Aunties were made a tray cloth or something equally useless for Christmas.

Re: Men who knit?
My dad used to knit, he made a tea cosy that we used all the time when I was a kid, those 2 colour wobbly ones - they are very retro and it would be in fashion again now!
Re: Men who knit?
Just reading a fascinating book about life in the countryside in the 19th century. Apparently shepherds used to knit while standing on stilts, and watching over their flock. Honestly, I'm not making it up.
Re: Men who knit?
Didn't sailors knit. Not a lot to do onboard when off duty.

Re: Men who knit?
Men who knit :) lol. I suppose you'll be telling us next there are men who do the laundry or hoover. I'll go and ask the wife if she knows of any. Hang on a sec. I'll pop into the kitchen. Her chain doesn't reach as far as the computer room.
Re: Men who knit?
So I take it you don't knit then Dave

Hi , Hanging on the lounge wall is a 2 x1.5 foot hanging sewn silk picture of 2 japanese person /m-f , with tree and chickens which I sewed at least 30 plus years ago . Prof is it has my DNA on it (blood) when I stuck the needle in my finger . I used to knit -still have a 6 foot scarf .Like bike riding never forget (bit wobbly when started again ) nit one peral one , pick up stickes , drop stiches , etc .
I also done my bit of darning (sewing holes in socks ...
Do not do hoovering... Used to do the ironing as dead wife hated it ....
maybe this has put me in a calm place and easily destressed .
Modern times it is easy to buy from third world than to spend ages doing nitting .
A skill and a hobby that comes and goes with fashion but a good knitted ,hand made jumper is a treasure to have and wear especially in the cold months .
Experience I do not recomend is knitted swim wear . terrible what my mother put me in when younger than 5 years old ....

Thirty-Four Young Boxers Advance to the 2013 Junior Olympic National Championships in Mobile
(MOBILE, ALA.) – Friday's boxing action moved to a higher level of intensity at the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center in Mobile, Ala., as nearly 70 young boxers vied for a berth in the final round at the 2013 Junior Olympic National Championships. The day's victors featured returning and Junior World Team Open Champions as well as new faces on the national scene.
Just one day after defeating Junior World Team Open champion Jordan White (Waldorf, Md.), Kawelo Alcos (Wapahu, Hawaii) earned his spot in the championship bout with a split decision win over Jeremiah Smotherman (St. Louis, Mo.). Alcos will face Dylan Price (Sicklerville, N.J.) in the pinweight final.
Juliette Ladissa (Bronx, N.Y.) recorded the victory in the lone female light flyweight semifinal bout on Friday night. Ladissa defeated Danika Lara (El Centro, Calif.), 3-0 in their Friday match-up to move on to the light flyweight finals and a bout with Kianna Hernandez (Dallas, Texas).
Vergil Ortiz (Grand Prairie, Texas) moved on to the flyweight final round contest with a unanimous decision in semifinal action on Thursday. Ortiz defeated Keeshawn Williams (Washington DC) to advance on to championship night where he will battle Aaron Morales (Eufala, Okla.).
Junior World Team Open champion Shakur Stevenson (Newark, N.J.) got the present he'd been hoping for on his 16th birthday with a semifinal win. Stevenson is making a second straight trip to the Junior Olympic National Championships finals following a 3-0 victory over Victor Morales, Jr. (Vancouver, Wash.) on Friday. He will face Darren Cunningham (St. Louis, Mo.) for the light flyweight title in Saturday's finals.
Kristy Rodriguez (Naperville, Ill.) and Odalys Camacho (Bakersfield, Calif.) will compete for the light bantamweight gold medal in Saturday's action. Both boxers recorded semifinal victories on Friday with Camacho taking a split decision over Mikaila Gutierrez (Kemp, Texas) and Rodriguez defeating Angie Ornelas (Beaverton, Ore.) by a 3-0 margin.
The male bantamweight finale will feature a showdown between defending champion Ruben Villa (Salinas, Calif.) and Junior World Team Open titlist Devin Haney (Las Vegas, Nev.) following tournament runs by both boxers. Haney advanced to the finals with a 2-1 victory over Michael Dutchover (Midland, Texas) in semifinal round action while Villa defeated Logan Yoon (Honolulu, Hawaii) to move on to the bantamweight finale.
In female bantamweight action, emerging star Jayda Thomas (Detroit, Mich.) impressed once again with a dominating victory in her semifinal bout with Katrina Nahe (Antioch, Calif.). Thomas stalked Nahe, landing strong shots en route to a second round TKO victory. She will face off with defending champion Melody Montes (Kissimmee, Fla.) in final round action following Montes' unanimous decision victory in her bout with Juanita Chavez (Racine, Wis.).
Defending flyweight champion Isidro Ochoa (Fresno, Calif.) earned a berth in his second straight championship bout with a semifinal victory in his new weight division on Friday. Ochoa won a unanimous decision over Gage Campbell (Wauseon, Ohio) in their semifinal contest. He will face off with Junior World Team Open champion Michael Nelson (Mansfield, Ohio) for the featherweight title on Saturday.
The featherweight division was one of the deepest female weight classes in the tournament and Jermesha Poke (St. Louis, Mo.) and Anna Crutchfield (Greenville, S.C.) are the final two boxers left standing. Poke and Crutchfield advanced on to the championship bout with victories over Viviana Malgar (Glen Grove, N.Y.) and Zoe Glass (Lansing, Mich.) respectively.
Junior World Team Open champion Keoni Adric, Jr. (Haleima, Hawaii) will compete for his second national title of the year in the lightweight finals.

Nowadays Gosha Rubchinskiy's name is synonymous to Russian fashion industry for a reason. In 2012 Comme des Garcons took Gosha under their wing and started to help him with manufacturing and distribution, and later gave him a chance to show the collection at Paris fashion week. For KM20 Gosha Rubchinskiy is a part of its history as the brand was one of the first the store started to sell. By the way, Gosha is not only a super talented designer, but also a very promising video director and photographer. Specially for KM20 anniversary last year he created a small installation presenting his brightest artwork.
This year the designer teamed up with the sports brand adidas and released Gosha Rubchinskiy x adidas Football World Cup Kit capsule collection, dedicated to the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.

by Dwain Schenck, Author of RESET
Welcome to the new world of job Insecurity. If you didn't lose your job during the Great Recession or its aftermath, you know someone who did. I speak with authority because I joined the ranks of millions of workers who had the rug pulled out at a time when the median family net worth dropped a staggering 40 percent and there were no jobs to be found for a 49 year old, well educated senior communications executive and entrepreneur willing to do anything to get back in the workforce.
The emotional side of unemployment is something few people think about or discuss in any job market, but especially true with many people I knew who were let go during this economic downturn. Shame seemed to come with the territory. Most people jumped feet-first into the tactics of finding a job without setting up a strategy to deal with the emotional journey. The problem is, you can find yourself doing all the right things tactically but not making progress (and not understanding why) if you don't spend the time addressing what is knocking your self-esteem for a loop.
In my first month of unemployment I experienced a sense of fake bliss. It was intoxicating. Everything will be fine, I told myself. I have a solid network of friends and colleagues and whether I liked it or not, it was time to move on. I'll have a job in less than a month! I had convinced myself that there were opportunities out there for me and companies would be looking for my unique skill set and knowledge. What a miscalculation on my part.
I quickly learned that this was like no recession we had ever lived through before, the worst since the Great Depression. Within several months I started to think I was losing my sanity. I had been shaken to my very core and came to realize that I had connected nearly my entire self-worth to my job title and to what I accomplished as a journalist and communications executive. I didn't feel like a productive member of society. I had let my family down. My psyche was crushed. That was probably the hardest reality to face in losing my job.
But by seeking the assistance of friends, listening to the wisdom of experts and implementing creative job search best practices I was able to turn things around, get back on my feet and land in a better place. There are essentially three things to focus on while searching for work in an anemic job market like this. Notice I said work. Today we do work. Chances are we're not going to find the job we had before, but there's plenty of opportunity and hope to reset your career, start your own business, become a consultant and learn to tap into a constellation of skills—or downsize altogether and hit the golf course.
It's important to accept we now live in a constant state of reset — it's more than a one-time event, it's a mindset, and it comes down to this: we can react and get lost in our fears, or we can act, and live with hope. The first thing a job seeker needs to do is become a student of the process. There is a lot to learn to successfully find work and the clock is always ticking. Looking for work is a full time job if you do it correctly. You don't know what you don't know. Searching for work entails educating yourself on how to network, finding resources that could possibly lead to employment, or possibly picking up new skills by enrolling in college courses. You also need some basic training in social media—particularly LinkedIn. You aren't even on the map (of hiring managers and recruiters) if you're not on LinkedIn.
Secondly, set realistic expectations for yourself as to how long it is going to take to become re-employed. More than likely it will take longer than you think in finding work again. On average it is taking job seekers well over six months to land a new position. Everybody wants to end the pain and loneliness of the search as quickly as possible, but you have to embrace the process and do the right things in order to get hired or get traction starting your own enterprise. Prepare yourself mentally for the pain, humiliation and rejection that come with the interview process.
And finally, don't go it alone. Looking for work is a lonely, and at times depressing vigil entailing hours spent at home alone with not much structure, little interaction with others, and even less feedback. Join a job search support group. The meetings provide a forum for each member to establish and report on weekly search objectives; solicit feedback and advice on issues specific to your search. These teams can also provide a forum for exchanging search best practices and most importantly, create a supportive environment that fosters camaraderie that can greatly improve your chances of landing work more quickly.
Whether we like it or not, unemployment shows us what we're made of. We are starting all over again and that's just the way it goes. What do we have to offer? That's what everyone in this new economy has to figure out. The potential rests within each of us, if we only believe in ourselves to make a better life, hit our own reset button and do what it takes to find meaningful work today.

relationships... If you don't "just know"
I've always thought when you fall in love with someone, you'd "just know" or it would be this initial magical shooting stars moment, and there'd be this exciting feeling of infatuation, then you get to know the person and as you grow in relationship things start to confirm and deconfirm all of that and your head matches your heart.
I guess I'm confused lately. For a long time I had these "magic feelings" for another girl and it never worked out. And for the last year I've know this other girl, and due to friend groups, we've hung out an awful lot. I never really started any of that as liking her or with that thought at all, in fact, I never though too much. And I realize now I had a lot of walls up, yet I also wonder if I was really interested that feelings wouldn't have pressed through that.
There was a lot of reasons I wrote things off with that at first...
- her family is from a different state and isn't the picture perfect family
- different views on alchohol; though she isn't a partier or anything she'll have a drink when people go out, and on occassion she'll drink more than she ought... not to being drunk, but being buzzed... though I never get the impression she is a partier type of personality or anything like that, in fact she chose to not drink alchohol at all for 2008 as her new year's resolution, just because its something she didn't ever want to have any hold in her life
- she doesn't raise her hands in worship and is just more reserved in that way, which I know is fine, it doesn't matter how people worship the point is the heart, I just mean it is different than how I was raised and relate to the Lord
- I wish I knew more about her depth and walk with the Lord, I know she has a walk with God and she has very strong character and certainly talks about her talking to God or God leading her in certain ways, I just haven't really had any deep conversations with her about that. But she's done a lot of youth camps and is a Jr. High leader. I just mean, I've always felt like I've known more about girls walks with God or been more open about it in the church I was raised in, which is also a pretty conservative church
Anyway, all I am saying is for a long time I just had a wall up against any possibility because my heart was elsewhere with another girl, I had this picture of what I thought a girl should be like, and even look like physically, and just how a relationship should look or unfold.
But as time has gone by and I've gotten to know her better, I've started to see things and realize things. Her heart is amazing. She has so much fruit in her life, like when I think of describing her Galatians and the fruits of the spirit come to mind. She is one of the kindest and most loving and accepting and patient people I have ever met. I really like her personality and she has a sense of adventure and just life to her. I feel really comfortable around her; she accepts me for who I am and I never feel like I have to change anything about myself. Her profession and her life goals are overall very compatible with mine. We're both the same age (24) and recently done with college and have a degree.
I know she liked and we spent a day together some months ago that sort of made that pretty clear, but then I pushed her away and sort of distanced myself, even though we always hung out in the same friend group, mostly because I didn't feel like I liked her and didn't want to lead her on. Everything was always fine though.
I started to realize in the last few days before she left state to move back home that actually... maybe I do have feelings or like her. Just this realization that even though there's questions I have or things I'd feel like maybe need to be worked out, ie views on alcohol (I don't drink at all, though I am ok with social drinks and all my friends do but are very responsible, I just don't like it when she has more than one drink or so, I don't think there is any reason to have more than one drink or especially to ever even let yourself get buzzed), and I'd want to learn more about her walk with God, etc...
But yes, just this thought as she packed up and left that... what have I done? Was I so blinded by this other person and these preconceived notions of what I thought I wanted or how a relationship should look or unfold that I missed the best thing that could ever happen to me?
But yet I feel like something like this should or would be just crystal clear, like I should have these feelings of "yup I'm in love with her!" Like, usually I think it is your heart that does funny things to your head... but for me, I feel like it is my head and logic that is doing things to my heart, like I feel like I can make a very long list of reasons why I should like her, but for so long I just never felt a thing... and now I've started to feel something when she left; and i wonder if I am just confusing feelings of her leaving and moving with feelings of attraction and/or really started to realize I like her.
I guess I never wanted to be motivated by fear, ie confusing a fear of not ever finding someone with such a great heart like hers and acceptance of me and just compatibility, with just this overwhelming "love" where you just know. At the same time, I don't want to miss something because I am not open or have this wall put up to what I think things should look like in a person or how things unfold or be superficial or anything of that sort.
I guess I don't really know what I feel, I feel like I wish I had some more time to figure this out, but now.... now I don't, because she moved.
I know that seems like the door is closed, but I am very open to moving to, since she moved to LA and I have friends there and a couple of my friends just moved there and I am in a transition time in life anyway, and there are possible some great job opportunites for me there, and I was sort of thinking about the possibility of moving to LA before I started having any feelings.
Anyway I am rambling, I apologize. The point is...
Why do I feel like I don't know? Is that normal, or should you just know?
Does it sound like I am not being open, or haven't been open to something, because of superficial reasons or preconcieved notions or walls I put up?
Does it sound like I am being motivated by fear or love? (I know thats a hard if not impossible question to answer).
I guess I am just looking for some Godly help, wisdom, and advice - both spiritual, and just merely practical... does it sound like I'm in love or sad a friend is leaving? What the heck is going on.
I didn't think I felt anything but once she left I realized I felt SOMETHING, I just don't know what :/
Hello and welcome to ilj.
The basic question here is not whether your feelings are intense enough . It is whether this young woman is the gift the Lord has created especially for you and you for her. If she is the "in loveness" will come. If she isn't no amount of feelings will make the match go right. So the solution is pray and ask the Lord to show you and to show her. Feelings can change. In any longmarriage there will be times when there is upset, anger when things just do not go in a romantic way in fact when life throws things at you that are survivable only by knowing that God is in this with you and that you can each and both lean on Him.
My husband and I have been married 30 yrs as of last October. Neither of us felt all the romantic stuff when we first met. We did not even like each other. Over a few yrs we became friends and because God kept having us help the same people and situations we prayed together and talked together often. There came a time when he knew that God said I was to be his wife. Very wisely he did not tell me (I wouldn't have listened) but asked the Lord to show me. For me there was someone else I and most people I knew believed was God's choice. I learned that was wrong pretty painfully...it becomes fairly obvious a guy has other interests when he calls you and asks you to tell his mom he's bringing home a woman when he comes to visit. At that point I would not have felt anything romantic about anyone (ever if you asked me). But the man who is now my husband wisely prayed and was just there. The feelings did come but for me not till after the Lord showed me that this was the person He had chosen for me. Things have not always been easy. But there has always been the assurance that this was GOd'schoice and blessing. I honestly think that everyone who knows Jesus can have that if they will keep Him their priority.
I'll be praying for you both for the Lord to lead and guide you and show you the blessing He has for you. Please post again or consider being part of ilj if you are not and let us know how you are.
1Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. ... Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Matthew 25:40 & 45
Feelings come and go. The crazy in love thing is often more movies and young teens than a reality for grown ups. It can also show up after not before realizing this is God's person for you.
Main thing is to pray and ask the Lord to show you in a way He knows will get through to you and show her in a way he knows will get through to her.
If you have a anywhere near good job where you are staying at it may be the best thing for now. You can talk by phone, net, etc. This is not the best time to be job hunting or to be the new guy in any company because cutbacks are almost inevitable. Starting a marriage costs money. Serious dating can cost a good bit too. Lack of job stability can make problems in any relationship. You can get through them with the rioght person but why look for trouble.
If you still are not sure you can always get in touch and say hey I miss you and see what happens next.
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature Matthew 16:15

LOS ANGELES (AP) Dwight Howard scored 24 points, Kobe Bryant had 14 points and 11 assists in another pass-first performance, and the Los Angeles Lakers hung on to beat the New Orleans Hornets 111-106 Tuesday night for their first three-game winning streak in five weeks.
Earl Clark had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Lakers, whose 18-point lead with 5 1/2 minutes to play dwindled to 102-101 with 2 minutes left before Clark and Steve Nash hit big shots to clinch Los Angeles' ninth straight win over New Orleans.
Eric Gordon scored 18 of his 25 points in the first half for the Hornets, who were all but finished before making a 16-2 run in an electric 2 1/2-minute stretch. New Orleans got within one point on Greivis Vasquez's running jumper, but Clark hit an inside layup and Nash buried a 3-pointer with 1:21 to play.

I will not take the time to go into detail and will only say that the original version of Sunflower County & Songbird Hills came to an end early last week when my game fell ill.
And, yet, there is a 'silver lining'! The new version promises to be much improved in many ways.
WELCOME to the New and Improved Sunflower County!!
I am also sharing the empty neighborhood that I am using based on the Riverblossom Hills SC4 map. The larger portion is where I am locating the small town of Songbird Hills. Over yonder across the bridge represents a portion of rural Sunflower County - eliminating the need to attach a subhood to represent the area.
A list of any mods used to manage Sunflower County and any Custom Content used will be shared. I will also share the homes and community lots being built. These will be free of Custom Content. However, some of the lots in my game will include CC items that will be listed and linked to.
My LittleVille SC4 files are still available here. This works well for a larger town (larger than Songbird Hills needs to be).
I am enjoying the trip along the way and you are welcome to join me in this journey
