Reducing "Globesity" Begins at HomeSixty-four percent of Americans are overweight or obese, but the rest of the world is gaining fast. French women do get fat, despite Mireille Guiliano's best-selling book that claims the opposite; 42 percent of the French are far from fashionably slim. In China, meanwhile, 20 percent of women and 15 percent of men are overweight. No wonder the World Health Organization (WHO) calls this epidemic "globesity."
Perhaps most alarming is the rapid gain seen in children. Today, over 15 percent of U.S. children 6-11 years old are overweight, compared with 4 percent in the 1960s. In France, numbers of heavy-to-obese children are growing at 17 percent a year, versus 6 percent for adults. This puts the young at risk of weight-related cardiovascular disease, higher cholesterol and blood pressure, and type 2 ("adult onset") diabetes.
The response is simple, but not always easy: we need to burn at least as many calories as we take in. The two main obstacles, as documented by Eric Schlosser in Fast Food Nation and Greg Critser in Fatlands, are a sedentary lifestyle-encouraged by television, car dependence, and lack of safe spaces for exercising-and cheap, fast, and highly processed foods, which are rich in fats and refined sugars. (And the hub of an agribusiness system that also despoils our environment: fast food's demand for uniform French fries has spurred the monocropping of a single variety of potato, heavy on pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, and factory chicken, hog, and beef farms pollute our waterways with manure.)
The good news is that people are taking action. Globesity-defeating steps include the following:
Eat lots of produce. Fall is the harvest season, so shop at farm stands and farmers markets for plentiful, affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. Produce is low-calorie and high in vitamins and fiber, which is filling and discourages overeating. A new French government initiative promotes 5-10 servings of produce a day. Environmental plus: you support farmers and help save farmland, and local foods require less pesticides and less fossil fuel for transport. Choose organic to help keep soil fertile, protect watersheds, preserve habitat, and avoid genetically engineered foods.
Eat whole foods and drinks. U.S. nutritional guidelines recommend at least 85 grams a day of fiber-rich whole grains-typically absent from white bread, potato chips, and other refined carbohydrates. Processed cakes, cookies, and fried foods are high in trans-fatty acids, which raise the risk of heart disease. Also common are added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup, which dominates sodas and other sweetened drinks and raises blood triglyceride levels. The WHO says added sugars should make up no more than 10 percent of daily calories. As for trans fats, aim for "as close to zero grams as you can get," says Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition at New York University.
Eat less meat and choose lean. Keep saturated fat, prevalent in red meat and cheese, to 10 percent or less of total calories. Less meat also reduces your exposure to toxic chemicals that collect in animal fats, such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Eat non- or low-fat dairy products. Studies show that diets high in dairy can promote weight loss, particularly loss of dangerous abdominal fat.
Eat out (and take out) less. Restaurant foods contain more fats and sugars than home-cooked foods, and portions tend to be larger.
Read labels. "Partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil" means trans fats. Look out for saturated fat, high-fructose corn syrup, total calories, and portion size as well. Choose restaurants that disclose fats and calories.
Exercise. Walk 11 kilometers a week on errands for which you normally drive, and you'll help reduce smog and keep 187 kilograms of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Limit television time. And explain to your kids how ads are not the same as programs, but rather aimed at selling.
Work with your child's institutions. Encourage schools and camps to provide daily exercise, fresh whole foods, water, and milk, and to can the candy, chips, and sodas.

October 19 will mark one year that I started college. I think back and realize that basically the journey to end up going after a college degree in Journalism and Mass Communications started in 2006. Though I have always been interested in getting a degree in Journalism I never really thought of pursuing it. But in 2006 I discovered Taylor Hicks on American Idol. At the time I didn't really consider this a big deal. I had also voted for Carrie Underwood. However, with Taylor even after he won, I still followed him and wrote about what was going on with him. I then got the chance to interview him. That was not only very exciting for me; I also realized I loved doing that type of thing. (Interviewing Musicians) I started contacting other musicians and requesting to interview them. From Bucky Covington, Chubby Checker, Trace Adkins, Kevin Bacon, Luke Bryan, Casey James, to independent and sometimes lesser known musicians such as Judd Starr.
One thing I realized is that I really thought they needed more promotion than they were getting. I always focus on the good; I don't care to dig up dirt on them. So then I started realizing not only did I enjoy writing about them, but I very much enjoyed being able to promote them and introduce them to more people who would support them.
Last year I was trying to figure out how I could best do that and I realized that even though I had a huge passion to do this and some knowledge on how to do it. I needed an education to learn more. So I searched for colleges that offered classes that would allow me to write, and or be a publicist.
I discovered Ashford University and after speaking with them I realized Journalism and Mass Communications would give me the tools I need to become a better writer, and hopefully when it is done to ultimately become a music publicist. I have very much enjoyed this first year, and I feel like I have learned a lot already, especially the ethical side of journalism.
I cannot wait to finish my degree and get on with the next phase of my life. This whole journey started by watching a gray hair guy on television, who captured my attention, and made me realize that we can all see our dreams come true if we just reach out for them.

Taylor Hicks Concert Review Oct 13 Akron Ohio
Let me just start this out by saying I have been a huge fan of Taylors since I first saw him on Idol. Like all fans of Taylor's I have followed his career and been excited at all new things Taylor does and been upset when sometimes some seem to attack him for no reason or try to find ways to bring him down. The ride since 2006 has been amazing and I looking forward to all the new things the future has to hold. In 2007 I went to a concert in Columbus Ohio, and I loved it Taylor was amazing and I was thrilled at the idea of making it to another show. I kept on writing about Taylor, taking any chance I had to interview him and enjoying being a fan. It seemed every time I planned to go to another show something happened.
If I didn't end up with a sick child, or no money to get the show then someone would hit my car in Wal-Mart parking lot the night before a show again stopping me from getting to a show. But I none of that dampened my spirits as far as being a fan and following all news and videos or televisions show that included Taylor.
So when I saw Akron Ohio listed as a place Taylor would be appearing at I started making my plans to get to this show. Then I got sick. I was so worried I would not be well in time but thankfully in a couple days I was just fine. But yes my luck starting acting up again. The Friday before the concert my starter went out on my car. Oh well 160 dollar part and I'm up and running again.
Thursday May 12 we packed and Friday morning My daughter, my niece, my son, My sons girlfriend and I packed the car and we were on our way.
Now I am from a small town in southern Ohio. My husband hates to travel so we don't travel much and the places we have traveled to were just highway driving. I knew the freeway and as my GPS kept pointing out the Motorways was not going to be so simple to drive.
When we hit freeway 270 my niece took over driving. She drives crazy anyway sp going 80 MPH was fine by her. We had a couple scary moments but we made it to Akron City Centre hotel in about 4 hrs. We circle Akron about 3 times before we actually got the correct ramp to get in. If I never hear the word Motorway from my GPS again I won't complain. We check in and get unpacked and I started calling the fellow soul patrollers who also were in town for the show, and find out we were staying at the same place. Its within walking distance and that is why we chose it. My group likes to walk verses driving. Of course the kids with me want to go swimming so we head up to the pool. It's not long before they are ready to head back to the room.
By the time everyone gets something to eat and gets ready for the show which is to start at 9pm it is nearly 8 pm. We take off walking to the venue. Thankfully the rain held off and we enjoy walking to the show.
We go in and as we are walking to find seats I hear someone yelling my name. I see Linda and she introduces me to Mary, Allison, Diane and I know there were more but I can't remember them all but it was so great to meet you all.
So my group and I go to find a place to sit. Luckily we got the last table and we sit and anxiously await for Taylor to take the stage. I went to the merchandise line and bought a shirt and cosie and go the kids cosy's. My camera is set (thanks Linda for the extra batteries) and my camcorder is ready.
There was a brief opener by a guy named Andy with a band called Dolson. He came over to table afterwards and asked if we were all fans of Taylor's? I told him I was the main fan but that the kids would be before we left. He told them I will tell you one thing Taylor Hicks is a very, very nice man. He is a really good guy and even let me use his equipment. He stood and talked to us for awhile asking the kids what kind of music they like etc.
Then Taylor's band came out on stage and it was time for the man we had been waiting for to take the stage.
The cheers and applause was loud and my daughter said geez Mom they love him lol I said well of course.
Taylor started with Compared to What. I had heard it many times on YouTube but in person is so much better. You could tell everyone was having a great time. I loved it. Sitting in a small bar like venue with a margarita with Taylor on stage I was a very happy person. I have never been one, who liked bars of any kind, but this was a different experience and to hear Taylor I would go in any bar.
I was hoping the whole time my camcorder would get good sound and BTW it did. I am still trying to get it all converted to share. I taped it all with the help of the kids taking turns recording so I could enjoy the show without a camera in my face. They don't like me calling them kids but since 44 and they are 16-20 they are kids, plus two of them were my kids lol.
I loved all of the songs he sang but my favorites were Compared to what, What's Right is Right, Back to Louisiana, Maybe You Should which half way into the song I heard my sons girlfriend tell him I love this song it's so pretty, Nineteen is another fave and my son loved it as well.
During Seven Mile Breakdown the kids go outside for my niece to smoke a cigarette. When the song ended Taylor left the stage and went out the same door they did. Before he came Back to sing the Encore My City was Gone a Pretenders cover. I loved this it was amazing. A great song to close the concert in Ohio with.
The kids came back in right as he started singing it and my daughter whispered in my ear hey Mom I think Taylor has a cute butt. My son later told me that while they were outside he was on the phone with my other son and he looked up and Taylor Hicks was standing beside him took a drink of water and ran back in the building. He said I'm talking to Mike and I look beside me and Taylor Hicks is standing there and I thought what the heck.
So the concert ends and I was so very glad we didn't let anything stop us and we went the show. A long line forms and the kids don't want to stand in line so they ask to just sit at table and wait till line gets smaller. When the line finally reaches our table the girls and I get in line. My son refused to get his picture taken but said he would video us meeting Taylor.
So when it comes our turn I hand Taylor a book I had made for him and he thanks me leafs thorugh it and sits it down he starts to sign my shirt and asks my name. I tell him Cindy he looks up says well hi Cindy how have you been. He asked if I liked the show and I told yes he did great. I told him I brought my kids and my daughter is standing behind me. We get ready to get picture taken and he tells my daughter do you know you have a cool Mom here? That made me feel good and she thought it was cool he said that.
Then the kids get their autographs and group Pic with Taylor. I thank him as we walk and he says thanks to me and we are own our way back to the hotel. I wanted to go to the pizza shop with the group who were going there after the show but the kids are tired so we just head back to our room.
I had a blast and before summer is over I am already planning to go to another show. Taylor is amazing entertainer, A great guy and very good to his fans. It took 5 years before I met Taylor but it the wait was well worth it and just made me admire him even more and the kids had a great time as well just like I knew they would.
I will have more in-depth concert review published soon and when it is I will post link to it.

Taylor Hicks on Jimmy Fallon
Taylor Hicks on Jimmy Fallon was a great performance. It has been a long while since I have updated my blog. I have not forgotten Taylor Hicks as anyone who knows me will verify. I have just been so busy with other things online plus my family I haven;t had much time for the blog. So what did everyone think about Taylor and everyone else on Fallon performing Rebbecca Blacks "Friday" on April 1. I thought it was very fun and great performance. I loved when Taylor slid his way on stage. I did not get to see the live show of the performance as I was at the ER with my daughter but I set my DVR and have watched it on the NBC site many times. I hope to be seeing more of Taylor Hicks on TV. The only thing better than seeing Taylor on TV is seeing him in concert. I hope to make it to a show this spring or summer. Below and above you will see some screen caps I captured of the show.

Bruises and Broken Bones
Five minutes late, but at least Kaimi had managed to stop by starbucks. That was worth it at least. The mocha frappe with an extra shot of caramel was perfect on her tongue, the walk from her car to the front door of the office completely taken up by fumbling through her purse for the keys to the door. It was only when she dropped said pure and nearly spilled said frappe that she noticed the man camped out in front of her door.
Well, not literally camped out, he'd clearly been there for maybe ten minutes, at most. His dark hair pulled up into spikes only possible with copious amounts of gel proved he'd visited a bathroom at least an hour or two ago. The half-carefree smile he gave her when he knelt to pick up her purse, and the few odd pens and tictacs that had spilled out lit up his brown eyes. Her mental image of this man was a large puppy, something brown, with floppy ears.
"Thanks." She answered, giving her business-woman smile, "Clumsy, you know? Thanks, if you could just hold that, that'd be-" She turned, opening the door with a deft turn of the key in the industrial lock and pushing at it with her hip. "C'mon in." He was there for a reason, after all. He couldn't have mistaken her office for anything else, what with "Rowe Detective Agency – We find SoulMates, or your money back!" emblazoned across the glass in the same dark blue as a policeman's uniform.
"No problem." The man answered, following her into the waiting room, six chairs, all of different fabrics and shapes, set semi-circle around the desk where no real receptionist had ever sat. Someday, Kaimi promised herself. Someday. "Nice place you have here."
"Thanks! We like it, anyway. Here, I'll take that." She took her purse back, and the man shuffled his foot, shifting nervously from one leg to the next. The tanktop he was wearing showed off the absolutely massive amount of orange bruises he wore across his skin. Ah, one of those. She would have sighed, if this had been a year ago, when she first opened this agency. Now, she just hoped she could find this guy's soul mate before the worst happened.
"So…I don't suppose you know why I'm here?" The man asked, hopeful, obviously, to get the conversation started. Kaimi strode towards her desk, the one with the cute little money-plant on it, a gift from her hawaiian mother. "You've got really good reviews online, so I hoped…"
"You hoped we could find whoever is putting bruises on your soulmate, and maybe let you play hero to get the poor thing out of there?" She asked, pulling out some forms from her desk drawer, and settling into her seat. The first visit was almost always mainly paperwork and interviewing the client anyway, but she hoped to get this done with before her ten o'clock showed up. Two hours would be pushing it on this.
"No!" The man cried, earnest. Kaimi could see a flicker of upset behind his eyes, so he DID want to get his mate out of there, but- "I just… I want to meet them. I want to get them out of wherever they are…No matter how it has to happen. I just want them safe."
It was something she heard a lot from people like this. The ones with the scars and bruising from their soulmates. It wasn't an easy Sign to bear, she was sure, seeing how the other was hurt. Her own Signs were so much easier to deal with. She smiled, nodding, her eye tracing what looked like fingerprints in orange around the tan throat in front of her. Whoever this Mate was, they were in some serious trouble.
"Don't worry. We'll do everything in our power to find them. That's what we're here for, after all." She offered, her voice comforting from experience. The man relaxed in front of her, although his fingers still played with the hem of his shirt. "Now, have you done any searching on your own? Any possible leads you have for us? Any other Signs, maybe?"
Sometimes Signs came in groups. Often, the Bruises would come with the String too, but it didn't look like that was the case with this one, or he would have found the Mate already. First Words would be difficult, a Timer would be useful, but only if they were tied to this Mate. If they were tied to some other Mate, they'd do no good. Kaimi's fingers found the line of words on her inner wrist, and rubbed at them, absently.
The man shook his head, "No, no other Signs, just this one. I…I went to a doctor once, and he said that the bruising is similar to something he's seen on professional athletes in martial arts, or… or in thugs."
"I see. Do you mind if we take pictures of the bruising? Just to compare, of course." She asked, sliding a consent form right across the table to him. "We take pictures of all Signs, for our records, and also to help us find your Mate without having to drag you along to every interview."
"Oh… Oh, uh, yeah, that's fine." He answered, blinking those puppy-brown-eyes at her slowly, like he doesn't understand. Kaimi nods, and points out the line he needs to sign. He takes the hint, and scribbles out a name that starts with a G. "Oh. Uh, I hit eighteen in two weeks… so if I Dream, I'll let you know…"
"Perfect. A Dream will give us a lot of information, just… make sure to take note of the address, or landmarks around you, and we'll be able to find them from there. Or, if nothing else, leave them a note, and they may find you." She coached, a speech she's given a hundred times, and one that sits on pretty much every 'how to find your soulmate' diy website ever. "Here's a survey, please answer it completely truthfully, that way we can try to narrow down as much information as possible."
She'd taken the survey herself a long time ago, so she knew the questions he was most likely to pause over. The "is the world black and white" question, the "Any birthmarks" question, the "Exact date and time of birth" question, especially tended to throw people off. While he fiddled on his phone, most likely texting his mom to find out, she picked up her coffee, sipped it, and headed for the coffee machine. Setting a new cup of coffee in front of him, along with a pack of those sandwich cracker snacks that Marshall insisted they keep around for their clients, Kaimi returned to the other side of her desk, opening up her laptop there, and listening to the satisfying Dell sound as it powered up.
This is a snippet written because I saw a post on Tumblr about scars and bruises appearing on a soulmate. It's part of what will eventually be my Kaimi Rowe Series, which I've decided will be about various ways of finding your soulmate! Look forward to it!more

The use of bullets can be an asset to you as you highlight with the bullets your qualifications and character that will be of benefit for the position you are applying for. Bullets can also make the cover letter easier to scan allowing for the prospective employer to quickly read and assess their desire to offer an interview to you.

Image Technical Metadata
For our TIFF images, we currently are generating and storing output from the File Information Tool Set (FITS), as well as MIX (NISO Metadata for Images in XML schema). Our MIX (version 2) profile is described in File:MIX-2.0.xlsx.
During quality control testing, the QC script used by staff members generate FITS files and tests them for errors (see ImageErrors. Staff members review the errors, and if warranted, repair the file and test again. The current tested and approved method for repairs is to open the TIFF with Irfanview and save as an uncompressed tiff at 100%. Our tests with Photoshop and ImageMagick failed to repair all the critical (invalid or not well formed) errors we found.
The scripts which generate derivatives for the web test the upload directories to ensure there's a FITS file for each TIFF, and will not continue until there is.
The scripts which upload the TIFFs for deposits to be processed for the archive, retest the FITS files for errors. If none are found, this script also generates MIX files and uploads some information to our md5sum:imageTechMed database table for quick reference. (More information on this database below).
In the archive, the FITS and MIX files are named for the TIFF, with extensions ".mix.xml" and ".fits.xml". If the file was repaired or modified, there will be versions of these files as well: the first version (fileNumber.mix.v1.xml and fileNumber.fits.v1.xml) would be from the first version of this file; v2 from the second version, etc. The unversioned MIX and FITS files are the CURRENT ones. All technical metadata is stored in a Metadata directory at the level to which it applies. So if this is technical metadata for a page, then in the archive on the page level there will be a Metadata directory containing the technical (and any other) metadata for that page.
Example: /srv/archive/u0003/0000581/0000003/0002/Metadata/ will contain metadata about page 2 of the 3rd item in the WC Gorgas collection (Collection MS 581) in the Hoole library manuscript holdings:
- The tiff is named u0003_0000581_0000003_0002.tif
- The current MIX file is named u0003_0000581_0000003_0002.mix.xml
- The current FITS file is named u0003_0000581_0000003_0002.fits.xml
The md5sum database.
The information currently stored in the md5sums:imageTechMed table includes:
- the identifier,
- mime type,
- format,
- format version,
- whether the file contains a thumb,
- date of testing,
- format registry,
- format registry key,
- whether there are any conflicts between the findings of the various FITS tools,
- and if any conflicts were found in the identity of the file:
- what the alternative format,
- format version,
- and mime type are.
Other tables in this database include itemSums and modified.
The md5sums:itemSums table includes:
- the identifier
- file name
- file path
- md5sum
- byte size
- whether this file has been modified
- when it was first entered into the system
- and notes.
The md5sums:modified table includes:
- the identifier
- when the file was changed
- file name
- previous md5 sum
- previous byte size
- the reason it was modified
- the party responsible.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced today it will be closing recreational and commercial fishing in further areas of state waters as a precautionary response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
This action expands the previously announced emergency commercial and recreational fishing closure to include an area of the state's territorial sea west of the Mississippi River to Point au Fer and the beaches that border any of the closed areas.
LDWF Secretary Robert Barham announced the closure of both recreational and commercial fishing in the state territorial seas, and the bordering beaches, extending from the eastern shore of South Pass of the Mississippi River westward to the eastern portion of Atchafalaya Bay at Point au Fer at 91 degrees 20 minutes 44 seconds west longitude. This closure will take place at 6 pm, tonight, May 9, 2010.
The Deepwater Horizon drilling rig accident has resulted in a significant release of oil into the offshore waters of Louisiana and the area of impact is expanding. Oil has the potential to impact fish and other aquatic life in portions of Louisiana's coastal waters.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is working closely with the Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Health and Hospitals and the Governor's Office for Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness as the situation unfolds. Updates on any further closures or changes in the status of areas closed will be posted at emergency.louisiana.gov.
For more information related to the oil spill, visit http://www.emergency.louisiana.gov Connect with us on www.facebook.com/GOHSEP and on Twitter @GOHSEP. View photos in from the state's response efforts at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lagohsep

The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Second Life (FUUCSL) immediately held a vigil yesterday afternoon as soon as word was received. We created a memorial where people may place flowers, notes and candles, and we created a collection plate for families of the victims. We are currently holding a solidarity vigil at our church in Second Life at the same time as the TVUUC. Our love and prayers are with you, TVUUC.

Yes, we held a candle light vigil on the front steps of our church, UU Church of Kent (OH). We sang songs of peace and love. Please let us never forget that hate crimes and gun violence are part of our society and have to be confronted with love.

Our small church held a loving vigil of solidarity and support this evening with you. About twenty were in attendance--a large number for our small church in the summer, especially on half a day's notice. We lit candles of love, support, and remembrance and sang songs of friendship and faith. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

First off, I would like to offer my condolences to the families. Secondly, I would like to take up a collection for the families at the call center where I work, raising money for various progressive groups. This is the saddest thing I've heard of in a long, long time. Don't hesitate to contact me. I'm going to start going to church again.
- July 29, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Even from where I am, I was saddened and shocked to read of what happened last Sunday. Wherever I happen to be today, I'll light a candle and say prayers - for that church community, for the man who did this deed, and for those he killed.
In particular I'll be thinking of the usher Mr. McKendry, without whose sacrifice the number of deaths would have been greater still.
It simply isn't true that, as a practising Anglican living as I do in Portsmouth UK, what happened in a church as far away as Tennessee, in a country I've never visited, has 'nothing to do with me'. If one part of the body of Christ is injured, we're ALL affected.
Peace, always.

A vigil was held yesterday afternoon at High Street Church - Unitarian Universalist in Macon, GA at 5:00 PM. Twenty of our members and friends gathered together to share moments of silence, moments listening to selections from our hymnal, and moments of sharing our grief and sorrow. Another vigil will be held Wednesday at 6:30 PM for many who were not able to arrange their schedules in time to make the Monday gathering. Plans are already underway to mark this tragedy in this Sunday's service, with specific attention being given to helping our children process this event. Our hearts go out to our friends in Knoxville.

The following excerpt from "Ye Weary Wayfarer" by Adam Lindsay Gordon was given to me during a time of great personal tragedy by an anonymous soul, and I can think of no better time to pass it on.
Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
KINDESS in another's trouble,
COURAGE in your own.

West Valley U U Church of Glendale Arizona held a candlelight vigil for Tennessee Valley UU's on July 28, 2008.
Reading: When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come in the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. Wendell Berry.

The First Unitarian Church of Orlando, Florida held a candle light vigil on Monday night. In attendance were approx. 30 members and friends of the church. We lit candles for the victims, played quiet music, and then attendees share quotes or poems, either written by themselves or by others. When we exited our Sanctuary, we lit candles and sung songs of peace, such as Holly Near's "We are a Gentle Angry People."
TVUUC, we'll be sending you a paper banner with our prayers fro you on it, as well as images from our vigil and many of the words that were spoken.
Be blessed and know that you are not alone in this difficult time. We love you.

First UU of Columbus OH had a candlelight service on Monday, 7-28-08 at 7:30pm as a sign of our support & solidarity with TVUUC. We lit candles for the dead & wounded, sang hymns including "We Shall Overcome" & "Let There Be Peace on Earth", and shared how deeply & personally this tragic event has touched us. At the end of the service, some stayed to write notes of support & love which will be mailed to the church shortly.
We too had international guests & former members of TVUUC join us in remembering & supporting the amazing and courageous community at TVUUC. Perhaps most touching was the love and compassion expressed for Mr. Adkissson. Our values and principles endure even in these dark hours. Thank you for showing us the way to continue walking our path of light, love & hope.
With much love,
From your brothers & sisters at First UU Columbus OH

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Jacksonville held a Silent Vigil Monday, July 28 at 7pm. We gathered in silence and spoke as moved. We ended with a very poignant version of 'Gathered Here.' We've also gathered written words of hope and healing that will be sent north to our brothers and sisters in the Knoxville area. We stand for Peace. We stand for Justice. We stand in Love. --Kelly Harris, Jacksonville, FL

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Wilmington (NC) held a vigil Monday evening at 7:00. We were surprised and honored to have current members of TVUUC in attendance-they were vacationing at the beach during this horrific tragedy.
We also wrapped a black bow around our roadside sign so that all who pass by know we are in mourning with our brothers and sisters in Tennessee, and their families and friends.
We stand together with you.

My family and I are lighting the chalice for the families at TVUUC who were affected by this tragedy. We send our prayers to all of you brave and beautiful people who were witness to such horror.

A Message from our Co-Ministers:
2008 July 27, Sunday
Dear Friends and Members,
We are saddened and shocked by the shootings this morning at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.
According to news reports, Jim Adkisson, 58, walked into the TVUUC sanctuary while the service was underway, and children and youth were on the stage performing Annie, Jr. Adkisson took a shotgun out of a guitar case and began shooting. As we write, two UUs attending the service have died: Greg McKendry on the scene and Linda Kraeger later at the hospital. Seven others are injured, five of them seriously. None of the children were hurt.
Adkisson was tackled and disarmed by the members. Another woman stood blocking entry to their quiet room so that the gunman would not be able to get to parents with small children. The shooters motive is not known. Members reported they had never seen Adkisson before.
Deadly violence against a church appalls all people of faith. And for us, these were our fellow UUs. UUA President Bill Sinkford has issued a pastoral statement and the UU Trauma Response Ministry have responded. As time goes by, we will let you know what you can do, or what this congregation might do for the members of this Knoxville congregation.
The two of us are available at home if you wish to speak to one of us ( minister-at-uuf.org ).
In the meantime, news of this incident is on news programs and on websites. Your children may hear about this incident. Because this happened in a UU congregation, they may wonder if they will be safe at UUFG. The UU Trauma Response Ministry website has some resources on responding to children in these situations. You might also want to have your children draw pictures or make cards to send to the children of TVUUC. Knowing that others are thinking of them is important at this time.
We are honored to be in this faith with you and share with you this instantaneous connection to our neighboring congregations and to those who might be suffering and aching with anxiety. It is good to have each other, in these times, for all times.
In faith,
Meredith and LoraKim

From a member of UUCWC in Titusville, New Jersey:
During this time of shock and sadness tresulting from the tragic events at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, many of us may feel moved to reflect upon these events as well as extend our love, care, and support to the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist congregants and members of the larger community in an active way. A table will be set up in our lobby at The Unitarian Universalist Church at Washington Crossing (UUCWC)so that those moved to do so may create Origami peace cranes with messages included to be sent to Tennessee as a symbol of peace and comfort. The table will be available at UUCWC from Saturday, August 2 through Sunday, August 10.
My heart, thoughts, and prayers gently encompass all who are suffering as a result of what happened in Tennessee this past Sunday morning.
With Peace and Love,
Liz Lacey-Osler
It is not a matter of thinking much, but of loving much. So do whatever most kindles love in you.

I just wanted to offer my condolence's and prayers to all the Members and Congragation of the Knoxville UU Church. We are all children of our Heavenly Parents and nobody has the right to think that no matter how bad their own life is they have the right to cause injury, pain physically or mentally or take the life of another brother or Sister.
My thought's are also with the offenders family for he must have some one special somewhere that is now suffering also because of what he has done.
There is no place in this earthly home of ours for violence and hate to keep spreading we must remember we are all brothers and sisters no matter what our difference's is either color, race, gender, beliefs in religion or other wise.
Stay Safe my Knoxville brothers and sisters and know you are loved by all.

Dear companions in liberal religious faith,
We of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Yakima, Washington held a service of solidarity and shared grieving yesterday at 4 p.m. Pacific time. We chose that time to express shared companionship with the TVUUC community and so many other UU's from around the world. A group of all ages from our long time UU community here in central Washington State met for an hour, sang, shared our feelings and silence, and also wrote letters to the congregation at TVUUC. I will be sending those letters from our group to TVUUC early next week after others who could not attend yesterday have an opportunity to write their own comments. We shared many of our letters aloud and I can say that they were moving, compassionate for all victims of this tragedy, and determined also to hold high our values of tolerance, open-heartedness, and the willingness to face the terrible suffering that all people experience when the purposes and dreams of their lives are dashed.
Sincerely and faithfully yours,

You can't blame them for being in shock.
Steve Eubanks is a former PGA professional, author, columnist and contributing editor at PGA.com. He shares his thoughts here each week.
When the American Ryder Cup team made their way into the giant media tent tucked in the trees between the clubhouse and Medinah Road on Sunday night, each one of them looked as if he'd just walked away from a plane crash. Some were numb, others jumpy and raw, still others so unsure how to feel that they lapsed into oddly inappropriate giggles. Phil Mickelson wore the disappointed smile of a man who had been there too many times. He also offered comforting solace, sotto voce, to Brandt Snedeker who sat next to him at the inquisition table. Snedeker nodded and drew his facial muscles tight, fighting back tears.
Jim Furyk looked like Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas," his barely contained fury a signal that you were one ill-timed comment away from being beaten with a tire iron and tossed in a trunk. When the inevitable – and quite appropriate – question about how this collapse compared to others came up, Furyk berated the questioner and won himself no new fans in the process.
Passing days have dulled the ache as shock has given way to anger, then depression and, finally, acceptance. But as more information comes to light and more questions are answered, there are some takeaways from this Ryder Cup, some things that can be learned and some mistakes that can be avoided in the future.
For starters, as tempting as it is to blame the captain in these circumstances, Davis Love III did almost everything right. In fact, the more we learn about Davis' strategy, the more brilliant it seems. Not only did he pair off his players before they arrived in Chicago, he let everyone know two things from the outset: The partners they had at the beginning of the week were the partners they would have at the end. They were like dive buddies or wing men: in it for the duration.
Secondly, they were all told that they would sit out a session. Nobody would play all five, not Tiger Woods who had never sat down in a Ryder Cup, and not Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley who played only 12 holes of alternate shot on Saturday (effectively six holes worth of shots per man).
Armchair quarterbacks are already giving Davis jazz about sitting Phil and Keegan, but the job of the captain is to put his players in the best position to perform.
By laying out the plan ahead of time, the players could focus on hitting the shots and holing the putts without having to think ahead and without worrying about who their next partner might be. They could sell out for the men next to them and pour everything into the matches at hand.
For two days it worked like a charm.
But then something happened. On Saturday night in the team room, the players exchanged gifts – a Ryder Cup tradition – and told stories about what the Ryder Cup meant to them. Both Presidents Bush came in, as did Michael Jordan along with all the wives and girlfriends. It was a big bonding session, a "Kum Ba Yah" moment for everyone.
But it wasn't intense. It wasn't a night where anyone told the guys they needed to put their big boy pants on and prepare for the toughest day of golf they would ever experience. It wasn't a "put your knee in their throat until they stop squirming" night of preparation.
It would take a record-setting performance for the Europeans to win, so everyone went to bed Saturday night assuming that, with an average Sunday performance, the matches would be over.
Unfortunately, when things turned below average, there was no backstop, no emotional dig left in the players. They weren't prepared for the kind of across-the-board charge the Europeans made. And it cost them.
In the end, Team USA lost on a couple of putts that probably couldn't be holed again if the Euros had 10 mulligans. But the Americans also beat themselves by making one of the oldest mistakes in the book.
They thought it was over before it was over. They let a wounded opponent get up off the mat. And in doing so, they made the kind of history no American Ryder Cup player or captain ever wants to see again.

The price of oil hovered below US$96 a barrel Monday, weighed down by data released late last week which showed that U.S. industrial production weakened and that Europe remained mired in recession.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for March delivery was down 17 cents a US$95.69 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract had fallen $1.45 on Friday.
Trading volume was lower than usual as floor trading, like U.S. financial markets, was closed for the Presidents Day holiday.
Investor sentiment has been subdued since the Federal Reserve said Friday that U.S. factory production slowed in January, mostly because of a big drop in output at auto factories.
Most analysts think the slowdown is temporary, but it was enough to raise concern about the still-sluggish economic recovery.
Traders were also concerned about a deepening recession across the economy of the 17 countries that use the euro. Their combined economic output shrank by 0.6 per cent in the final quarter of 2012 from the previous three-month period. The decline was bigger than the 0.4 per cent drop expected and the steepest fall since 2009.
Brent crude, used to price many international varieties of oil, was down one cent at US$117.65 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex, heating oil fell 0.34 of a cent to US$3.2070 a U.S. gallon (3.79 litres), wholesale gasoline rose 0.47 of a cent to US$3.3185 a gallon and natural gas added 0.2 of a cent to $3.155 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Google Glass & Short-Sightedness
You're not likely to see me wearing Google Glass any time soon. Way too dorky/creepy.
And thus far this kind of sentiment feels like where the wider, collective reaction to Google Glass has settled, people being too unnerved by the privacy thing - nevermind the nerd angle - to seriously consider owning a pair.
And that could well be the end of it, Google Glass was a dead duck at launch, unable to jump through some reaonably fearsome hoops of adoption fire.
But I actually suspect it's not the end - it's just going to take society a while longer to digest Glass.
Like it did with the first automobiles that had people running for their lives when they first clattered around a corner, or the first flights or the first of anything that moves the game on in a significant way.
We're toolmakers and we just need time to adapt to new tools, just like we always did.
I'm not a fan of Google Glass today, but I've come to suspect that we'll look back in twenty or so years and amusingly refer to the time when short-sighted people used to wear those old, analog spectacles that just corrected their vision.
Short-sighted, right enough.

How to Wrap Gifts Like a Pro
A beautifully wrapped gift is a gift in itself; it takes time and is an artful expression of the giver. Knowing how to wrap gifts like a pro requires patience, skill, and plenty of space.
Here are some key points to keep in mind when wrapping your next gift:
Select a large, clean, hard surface (that means the back seat of the SUV is out). Try using your kitchen table.
Have a clean, empty box nearby to hold rolls of paper when they're not in use.
Keep a small basket or plastic bin nearby with sharp scissors, gift tags, pens or markers, ribbon, bows, and anything else you like to use for adornments.
Get an office tape dispenser and load it up with double-sided transparent tape.
Because scissors never seem to cut a straight line, do what the pros do and fold a small amount of paper under to make a straight edge. Your wrapping will look tidier, and you'll be able to match up the pattern.
Here's the step that'll put a subtle but professional touch on your gift: Before you add the ribbon and other embellishments, put a sharp crease on all the edges of the box. Run each edge between your thumb and the side of your forefinger.
Make sure that you use plenty of bows and ribbon, and consider attaching sprigs of greenery, bells, silk or real flowers, cookie cutters, or any other embellishments that seem appropriate.
If you've ever searched for small boxes for the little treats you give out at the holidays, you know that finding them isn't easy. Thankfully, you can purchase kits that contain patterns, box blanks, and everything you need to craft your own boxes. You can find them in craft stores or you can order them online.
Love the look of a pile of presents under the tree or on a table? Gift-wrap a bunch of empty boxes of all sizes and pile or stack them for a great Christmas decoration.

Negahdar Jamali is an Iranian filmmaker who has for the past 35 years made American-inspired westerns complete with cowboys and Indians in the deserts surrounding the city of Shiraz.
Poor and illiterate, Jamali has nevertheless dedicated his whole life to making more than 50 movies, often in the face of pressure to give up his dream from family and from the society surrounding him.
"I had always wished to be an actor," said Jamali. "However no director would give me a chance. So I decided to become a director to make my own western movies and after a while I fell in love with directing."
He funds the films through working, either wrecking cars at an auto lot with a sledgehammer or by selling costume jewelery from a blanket on the ground.
Then he recruits actors from the streets of Shiraz, convincing local market stall holders to donate feathers -- sometimes plucked from live chickens -- so he can make the Indian costumes that add a degree of authenticity to his decidedly low budget, B-grade productions.
Jamali's story has been told in the documentary "My Name Is Negahdar Jamali And I Make Westerns", which this week was given its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea.
"I wish when audiences see my real life in this documentary, they will see me as a good director who can make powerful westerns," said Jamali in an email to AFP from Shiraz.
"I hope producers who watch the movie come to me asking me to make films for them."
Jamali, aged in his 60s, chose not to attend the film festival due to the distance and worries about cultural differences he might face. The documentary was represented at Busan by its director Kamran Heidari.
"I found him an inspiration," said Heidari of Jamali. "There is a level of dedication and professionalism in his work that you cannot find in mainstream cinema."
At one stage in the film, Jamali says he has been obsessed with westerns since he was a boy, counting the late, great director John Ford ("The Searchers", "Stagecoach") as an idol.
Ford's films -- and his own -- are about men who try to "remove the blanket of evil from the land," said Jamali.
While "My Name is Negahdar..." might begin as an oddity it soon evolves into a moving tribute to a man who will let nothing separate him from his art.
"I almost fell into the trap of making a social documentary but then I realised that with this film cinema is the only thing that matters," said Heidari.
"It is about a man and his love for cinema and for making cinema. His love for cinema is just so pure. He doesn't want to make money out of them, he just wants to make these films and he puts everything he has into it," he said.
"It's inspiring and a lot more honest to just tell his story."
While making a production called "The Great Revenge", Jamali faces mounting bills at home, plus the ire of his wife and young son, and many in the local community who think he should be putting his family's concerns first.
But he labours on, scraping together just enough money to pay his actors and for film stock. He eventually sees the production to its end and places handmade posters around town next to fading images of Iran's religious leaders.
When the film premiered on a wall in a local square, an audience of around 20 gathered on carpets in the dirt.
"He makes copies of his films and then hands them out in the community," said Heidari.
"It is a community effort. Everyone wants him to succeed and there is more and more recognition for what he is doing."
Far from trying to stop Jamali's work -- which might be expected given its American nature and recent animosity between the two nations -- the local authorities in Shiraz have begun to recognise Jamali's contribution to the local community.
The free DVDs, screenings, and the work he gives to his crew of local "actors" have led to the director being handed some small awards, Heidari said.
The fact that the director was illiterate only became apparent halfway through the shooting of the documentary.
"He kept that hidden from us," said Heidari. "He has papers with him to make it look like he is reading from a script but they are just drawings, like that of a child.
"But part of his great skill is his ability to improvise as the film is being made."
"The Great Revenge" seems typical of the Jamali oeuvre -- Indians attack, cowboys right the perceived wrong. But there is an unbridled joy in its simple delivery.
"His enthusiasm for cinema is infectious," said Heidari, who chose to submit the film to Busan on the advice of respected Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami ("The Wind Will Carry Us").
"Mr Kiarostami thought Busan would be a great place to introduce Jamali to the world."
Heidari said he hopes other festivals around the world will pick up his documentary and said he had plans to help Jamali box up his films into a DVD collection, with the documentary included as part of the package.
Crucially, Heidari wanted to bring the filmmaker some attention -- something Jamali was happy to accept.
"At first I thought I would be prepared to act in this documentary like my other western movies that I had acted in before," he said.
"But afterwards I realised my life is not a movie role. I feel satisfied in the end that people will see this film, and see my real life."

Lovely Lovecraft
LOVELY LOVECRAFT is a webcomic based on life and tales of U.S author Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Is intended to fans and to uninitiated as well and it reimagines the world-famous Cthulhu Mythos mixing cartoonish character design with dark thematics. PLOT: Howard is a 12 year old boy who has just moved to the ancient town of Arkham. His normal yet solitary life is turned upside down when, snooping in the attic of the old house once owned by a mysterious antiquarian named Randolph Carter, he finds a damaged copy of the notorious Necronomicon. After reading aloud some of the formulas, Howard's mind opens on a new comprehension of reality and gains a dark knowledge sufficient to drive anyone mad ... except him. Helped by a mistakenly summoned Night Gaunt, Howard begins his journey through the mysteries of Arkham where the terrible Outer Gods have been trapped and forced to live an human-like existence. Used to wait for aeons in the darkest regions of space, most of them take lightly their new condition, except for the eager and hyperactive Nyarlathotep who desperately wants to break free of the curse.

Greenland Shark Dramatically Saved From Choking After Trying to Eat Moose (PHOTO)
A Greenland shark has been dramatically saved by two fearless men just off Newfoundland's northeast coast, after they found it washed up on the beach, choking on a large piece of moose hide, which was lodged in its mouth.
One of the men, Derrick Chaulk, has described the incident, explaining that he was driving by the harbor in Norris Arm North on Saturday when he noticed what he initially thought was a beached whale.
He went closer to investigate, and then realized that it was in fact a shark, approximately 2.5 meters long, weighing around 115 kg.
The shark was still alive, but had a huge chunk of moose hide stuck in its mouth.
Chaulk has said, "It [the moose] had the fur and all the liner on it — it was about two feet long, maybe."
Another man, Jeremy Ball also quickly arrived on the scene, and together they started pulling at the moose hide in the shark's mouth, trying to dislodge it.
"A couple yanks and it just came right out."
Once they managed to free the moose, they then worked together to drag the shark back into the water.
One man tied a rope around the shark's tail, while the other stood at the other end getting ready to push.
Chaulk said, "He pulled the rope, and I pushed with my boot, and between the two of us we got him out into deeper water."
Once in the water, the men have described that the shark remained in the water at about 30 cm depth for a few minutes without being able to swim off. However, once it had re-orientated itself and started breathing strongly again it moved off.
"All of a sudden, the water started coming out of his gills and he started breathing,"
It is believed that some locals clean and gut moose on a nearby bank, and when they are done they throw the scraps into the harbor.
Chaulk has reflected: "He swallowed and got it halfway down and couldn't cough it back up and couldn't get it all down, and then I think the tide brought him in."
"There was a few people up on the bank watching and once that shark swam out and lifted his tail, and then swam all the way out, everybody just clapped," said Chaulk. "It was a good feeling to see that shark swim out, knowing that you saved his life."

After murder-suicide in Davie, crisis team helps kids with 'horrible tragedy'
The little desk where Amira Andrade sat at Driftwood Elementary School in Hollywood was empty Friday.
Instead, a school crisis response team –– made up of a psychologist, social workers, and a guidance counselor –– was in Amira's school to talk to the 6-year-old's friends.
As the school day ended, Principal Gladys Donovan walked amid jumpy children playing. Earlier she talked to the psychologist to see how the children were faring after hearing about their classmate who was found dead Thursday inside a blue van. Amira's distraught first-grade teacher met with a grief counselor.
"It's a horrible tragedy," Donovan said.
Two teenage girls on their way to school early Thursday spotted the suspicious looking van and called neighbors for help, said Davie Police Capt. Dale Engle.
Police said Paul Andrade, who had visitation rights with Amira on Wednesday, left his Hollywood apartment sometime during the night, drove the van to his ex-wife's place in Davie, hooked up a hose to the van, taped the windows shut and died along with his daughter and the family dog.The child was wearing pink pajamas when her mother found her.
Police said they suspect the three died of carbon monoxide poisoning, though the Broward County Medical Examiner will make an official determination.
Investigators said Andrade, 30, was upset that his ex-wife, Vicky Paredes, had remarried less than a year after their divorce. A suicide note was found at his home, but police did not reveal its contents.
Andrade's family, who flew in from New Jersey to reclaim his body, were outside his Hollywood apartment on the 5700 block of Taft Street Friday. The white ice cream truck that he sometimes drove, was still there. And near it, an empty black dog crate, a red water bowl and a chewed bone.
Outside of Paredes' Davie home, in the 3700 block of Northwest 74th Avenue, a few toys, pink carnations and a wrapped dog bone were next to a white candle with an image of a Virgin Mary.
Paredes had not returned home Friday to see the small make-shift memorial. Rescue workers transported her to a local hospital Thursday, after her daughter's body was discovered. She remained under sedation until late into the evening Thursday.
Neighbors said they heard Paredes shouting at officers Thursday: "You don't understand. She is my little girl. She is my only child."
The words were still haunting neighbor Loida Leon Friday.
"We hope that she is doing better," Leon said in Spanish. "But really there is no way that any one can recover from something like that."
Meanwhile at Driftwood Elementary School, Donovan said she hopes that the weekend will help Amira's teacher and students cope with the loss.
