As it would turn out... A new paint job is NOT less spendy.
It would cost more than my trailer is worth to revive it.
The man hunt for something new has officially started.
As it would turn out... A new paint job is NOT less spendy.
It would cost more than my trailer is worth to revive it.
The man hunt for something new has officially started.
I come here to post my random pony thoughts that the general public could care less about.
That said...
I just cleared out my trailer. We are going to give it all the love it deserves, new paint, etc etc...
We are going to upgrade to a LQ.
Of course we all know what I want to do.
Of course we all know that a new paint job is considerable less spendy than living quarters.
But we will see.
I dont know if this link will work...
BUT, we got 30th place out of 143 runners on our 2nd run.
THEN, we got 2nd in the 2D at our 3rd run.
Totally in love with this guy.
Dear Kids of the HC KO board.
Once upon a time... I got married. And it was the most beautiful day of my life. You should all try it sometime, because it is really the best thing that can happen to you.
Aaaaannnnndddd my pictures arrived!
I can probably make a post... :)
Here he is!
I bought him.
We pretty much crashed and burned at the barrel race today. First and second barrel were beautiful, but I totally lost my head on the third and we clipped it. Then I stood up and we cruised home.
With all of that, we still had a smokin run.
If I had rode him anything like I should have... we would have definitely wound up in the top 5. So here is to hoping my riding skills improve FAST.
Thanks guys!
I am so nervous. I am so nervous. I am so nervous.
I feel like some dancing bananas are in order...
I am going to run a horse this weekend and if all works out, BUY HIM. *eep*
1D barrel winner. TOP END of my budget, but exactly what I want.
I am hella nervous though. I have not rode anything for the last year.
So sure, hop on this 1200 pound torpedo and race as fast as you can. No big deal.
Wish me luck y'all.
This Ebola thing freaks me out...
Just fyi...
My wedding was FABULOUS!
I have an update.
We are moving back to Texas!!!
No official paperwork yet, so I have not really revealed this on other social media... but I feel that since my house is 75% packed away that I can come on here and share my excitement.
There is some negativity surrounding my move. Probably because I requested a "demotion" at work. But my husband<-weird was offered an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G opportunity and I am going back into my field of passion which is Food Safety.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am HAPPY like you could not believe.
And I have promised myself a pony for my birthday.
That is all.
Prayers for you and your family Hilz.
Oh hey guys.
Just stopping by to say...
I have been thinking about adding a horse to the mix in my life.
It may be the worst timing in the world for me to do this.
But I am sure you guys know how I feel. Sometimes you just NEEEEED a horse.
25 days left for me!
I am actually calm as a cucumber.
Everything is finished. Everyone is paid.
I just have to drive my happy butt 22 hours home and 22 hours back with 2 dogs and a husband.
Well I have been here forever.
I graduated from college. Got a big girl job at a cheese factory. Moved to California. Have 0 ponies. Am getting married in 1 month. And I am working on my MS in food safety so. That is that.
Mine came off of Etsy from... Switzerland lol.
They were NOT affordable and the person barely spoke English so I am surprised they came out as good as they did.
Wedding things are moving along. There are good days and bad. Obviously that day up there was a bad one lol.
Getting married is really starting to stress me out in a bad way.
Anything that even sounds like the word "commitment" makes me cringe.
I cannot get the fiance on the same schedule or frame of mind.
His attitude is more... aloof?
I can probably count on one hand the amount of things he has helped with. This is extra tense as the wedding is ohhh 2000 miles away and I have already had to fly home twice.
Then there is the whole, "What happens after we are married??" thing. As in big potential life change.
I feel like a bird. That just wants to fly away.
End of story.
Amazona that is so incredibly wonderful!!!
My house shopping experience has been terrible.
Everything has 15 offers on it before we even step foot in the door.
And owning land is a fantasy here.
I would prefer to escape back to the land of my people but I have no idea what will happen at this rate.
Annnndddd the engagement pictures have been loaded to facebook!
They do not care.
I have had it here.
I am having the best wedding planning time ever over here!!
I think leaving a year to plan was the best thing we ever did.
Welp. Got robbed again.
Third time in 6 months.
Really California?


text: This Wednesday I'm pumped to join some friends at The Elephant Room. As a believer in debates (I wish the church would do more of them today), I dig the idea of leaders hashing out differences in public. This year is more controversial than the first ER as one of the participants, T.D. Jakes, has long been associated with Oneness Pentecostalism which denies the doctrine of the Trinity. I haven't read or listened to much by T.D. Jakes, though what I have read is certainly not orthodox trinitarian theology. For more you can read his article in Christianity Today, "What I Believe About the Godhead." I understand why some people are concerned (and a few are freaking out) about Jakes' invitation to this gathering, but I am looking forward to a dialog about this critical doctrine, as well as the other conversations. The church needs to do a better job talking to one another, than just about one another. And when talking to one another we need to be willing to say directly that something another advocates is unwise, wrong, dangerous, or even heretical. I will be posting my thoughts on how it all goes down after the event.

Pick up your $10 Rally for Starved Rock shirt this Sunday!
Despite our efforts, the Starved Rock Mine is slowly inching forward through the permitting process. Since we have had limited opportunities for public input and comment, we decided to host our own PUBLIC MEETING to give YOU a platform to speak out against the mine.
Join the Illinois Sierra Club this October 28th to get your voice heard! Hike the trails, tour the mine perimeter, and tell your stories. United, we can tell Gov Quinn we oppose this mine!
Make your voice heard!
Attend the Public Availability Session on Wednesday May 23 2012 from 6 to 9 pm
Illinois Valley Community College
815 N Orlando Smith Road, Oglesby, IL
The Illinois EPA will hold a public availability session to answer questions about the permits which Mississippi Sand need from the Bureau of Air for the mine's air emissions and from the Bureau of Water for construction activities. The Department of Natural Resources and Historic Preservation Agency will also have representatives at the Availability Session and will be providing information to the public concerning their roles in evaluating the project. Mississippi Sand representatives will also be present.
At the session IEPA will solicit written comments from the public. Comments regarding the air and water impacts will become part of the record on those permits and IEPA will pass on comments on other aspects of the project to the agencies.
If you can't make it on the 23rd please send comments by May 31, 2012 to:
Brad Frost, Community Relations, Illinois EPA, 1021 N Grand Ave. E., P.O. Box 19506, Springfield IL 62794 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
OR send comments to IEPA using this link: https://secure.sierraclub.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=8725
For more details to include in your comments check out our talking points.
Background on the Fight to Save Starved Rock
Mississippi Sand LLC is requesting permits to mine for frac sand adjacent to the east side of Starved Rock State Park. Illinois is home to St Peters Sandstone which produces a silica sand that is ideal propellant for fracking (the process used to extract natural gas).The mine site is 315 acres, and the company is expecting to mine for 40 years, creating 39 jobs and generating 10 billion dollars in sales. The mine will create an 80 foot deep pit that the company plans to leave as a "lake" when finished mining.
Steps Taken
The Ernat family has the owned property since 1940s where they farmed and ran a sawmill. In 2011, Mississippi Sand applied for a special use permit to begin mining. For the permit to be granted, the LaSalle County Zoning Board of Appeals had to recommend to the county board whether or not to grant a special use for mining in an agricultural area.
The Zoning Board
So many people tried to attend the original zoning meeting in November 2011 that it was rescheduled for December in a larger location. Around 200 folks attended the hearings on Dec. 14-15, 2011 which lasted until almost midnight for two evenings, with the board hearing roughly 14 hours of testimony. During the nearly 7-hour meeting on Thursday, Ottawa attorney Paul Martin, who was retained by three members of the Citizens Against a Starved Rock Sand Pit, opened testimony by submitting more than 1,000 hand-written petitions against the sand mine. He included another 640 online signatures acquired at the citizens group's Facebook page.
Martin used testimony from a number of local property owners and more than a dozen separate exhibits to show the site contains historical Native American artifacts. The landowners all agreed living next to a sand mine operation would negatively impact their livelihood and property values.
The ZBA voted unanimously for the mine.
LaSalle County Board
At the Jan 12, 2012 county board meeting, Paul Martin spoke again for the residents opposing the mine along with President of Mississippi Sand LLC Tony Giordano and the company's attorney Jonathan Brandt. The Sierra Club had gathered over 6,000 petition signatures urging the county to vote "no" which had been delivered earlier in the week to the county board office. Illinois Lt. Governor Sheila Simon sent each board member a letter urging a delay on the vote so the county could deliberate further on the impacts on Starved Rock State Park.
The LaSalle County Board voted to approve permit for mining in a 20-6 vote.
Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources
In September and October of 2011 Mississippi Sand went through the IDNR consultation process. The consultation indicated that Ernat's Marsh INAI site may be adversely modified or jeopardized and IDNR's recommended that "measures should be implemented to avoid altering water quality in Ernat's Marsh by avoiding any direct discharge into it. Specifically, an NPDES discharge point should be selected which avoids any alteration of ambient water quality in Ernat's Marsh. This can be achieved by piping water to be discharge to a point downstream of Ernat's Marsh." The mine agreed to avoid impacting the marsh for at least 20 years.
Mississippi Sand will also need an Aggregate Mining Permit from the Office of Mines and Minerals.
Cultural Resources
Part of the mining site is located in a High Probability Archaeological Area. The University of Illinois conducted limited investigations of the site in 1987. Artifacts dating from 10,000 years ago were found. It is likely that the site contains significant cultural deposits and may likely be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Illinois EPA
Mississippi Sand submitted an application for an air permit for a sand mining operation on Nov. 16, 2011.
Mississippi Sand will also need a NPDES permit to discharge wastewater from their sand mining and processing operations.

Ok, almost 2 months has flown by. CRAZY!
I don't even know where to begin, so I'll just start somewhere and hope to hit the highlights.
School is going well. I'm about halfway through the semester (or close). One more semester of coursework to go. I should be doing something right now because I have a million things to read/write/work on, but I have a headache, so …
Henry and Molly are both great. Henry's diabetes is under control and Molly doesn't look so ridiculous now that her hair is growing out. They both still love MC and he still loves them back.
I turned 35.
I didn't run the 13.1 distance because I didn't feel like it (we all saw that one coming, right?). Jon took the day off to hang out with me and we had MC that morning … so I went to breakfast with them instead of spending my morning running/recovering.
My mom and aunt came into town the weekend before to celebrate. My aunt is not doing well (cancer/brain tumors), so my mom has been taking her to see a bunch of stuff she's never seen. She'd never been here, so the mountains were the goal.
We went out to breakfast one morning and I made the lemon/blueberry cake I love and we just hung out having a quiet weekend. It was nice.
I did a workshop at a conference in the DC area with some colleagues – and Jon tagged along. Super fun weekend. We ate a ton of good food and just generally had a really good time.
Headed to Denver soon to do something similar at a much larger conference. Both nervous and excited – but mostly excited. I haven't been to Denver since I was a kid. The workshop is like ONE HOUR of what will hopefully be several days of fun.
I'm running again with the running group.
I'm just making it work with my schedule, which means I spend at least one morning each week running at 5:45AM. I've missed it.
Jon rejoined, too.
(And MC tagged along – in a stroller – for a Saturday run.)
I still work out 2 times each week with the trainer. Nothing has really changed there.
I'm just doing the 5k running program – so I'm not pushing it or anything. Just want to get some cardio a few days a week … and be outside … and be social. I go to their once weekly circuit training class, too.
So – I guess I get about 4-5 days a week of pretty good exercise (depending on how many runs I do on my own). Seems like that's been my norm over the years, so I'm happy with that.
Jon turned 47!
We celebrated his birthday weekend traveling to see his child #4 play soccer, his mom came into town … and then we spent the actual night eating take-out in front of the tv, which is exactly what we both wanted to do.
We have a good life.
Jon has a (sort-of) co-worker in town from Germany for several months, so we've done a bunch of fun stuff with her lately. Took her on a hike her first weekend here and have hit a ton of restaurants/bars and other sightsee(ish) stuff over the past few weeks. She joined the running group with us, too, so that's been fun.
Last Friday, she threw an Oktoberfest party for their work people at our house. The plan was to do it in our backyard, but it rained all day – so we moved it indoors.
Disappointing, but it worked out ok.
She taught me how to make spaetzle (which she served at the party).
And then I HAPPILY ate leftovers (with cheese and sauteed onions) for several days.
She had (drinking, obv) games planned for the party, so we did that stuff in the garage … and we were able to do SOME things outside when it stopped raining.
Fun night.
So MC is like … a little BOY.
He walks! And eats real food with us (though still breastfeeds, too)! And communicates!
(This dinner = a trainer meal consisting of salmon, eggplant & asparagus plus cottage cheese straight from the container (that MC and Jon both LOVE) and sparkly water from a can. Pretty typical these days. We don't have a ton of time to cook – but we haven't reverted to junk.)
He's the sweetest, smartest baby EVER. For real.
I guess that's it.
Just keepin' on keepin' on.
Life is really full and busy these days, but it's full and busy with fun/rewarding/challenging things that leave me with little room to dwell on whether I've entered food into myfitnesspal – so I just don't. I've been making adjustments to my diet here and there and my pants fit. Could be looser, but I guess I'm probably within 10-12 pounds of my lowest weight.
I'm good.

Home Tour: Bedrooms
Oh my goodness you guys, I am already taking a walk down memory lane with this post. As of now, these two rooms have already gone through the greatest transformation. With the flooring ripped up and some primed walls, these bedrooms are already so different. In a good way. A really good way. But forget about that. Because the point of a "before" post is to revel in the excited shivers of a potential dramatic "after". So lets get down to business!
North Bedroom/Office
Let me preface this room by noting that when I asked Ansel what he wanted in our new home before we started looking, his one (ONE!) request was that there was a room for his office that I would be happy spending time in. How sweet is that? In our apartment now, his "office" is a table stuffed into what used to be a walk through closet where there is barely room for his chair let alone both of us. And all he wants is for me to be near him.... I mean how could I not honor that request especially since I would adore it too!? So, as there are only two bedrooms in this house this one was automatically deemed the joint office. And for us that is just fine. When folks come to visit we will promptly make it guest friendly, but 90% of the time it will be a fabulous sunny office to facilitate love and productivity. Boom. What a space. Lets check it out.
South Bedroom
This will be our "master" bedroom. Although can you actually have a "master" bedroom when there are no "minion" bedrooms? Is that a weird question? Am I over thinking this?
Features we like:
- Lots of light
- Hefty baseboards and window trim
- Overwhelming amount of outlets (I am making this into a positive)
Features we don't like so much:
- Paint color. For some reason it looks not terrible in photos, like almost a mint color. But it is terrible, promise. It looks like a mistint. And just feels dingy.
- Carpet
- Linoleum beneath carpet
- Linoleum beneath linoleum beneath carpet (seriously)
- Hollow core closet doors
- Nasty curtains and assorted beige metal curtain hanging implements.
- Windows that barely open. Bad for air flow. Bad for fires...
And there you have it. Our wee bedrooms.
Whats even left on this home tour? Hall & bathroom. Basement and out door space. Get excited.

Back to online shopping fiascos... This one week I'd orderd a half kilo of pork steak so that I could make beautiful souvlaki for my flatmates... But they only showed up with 200 grams! Gah! Luckily I had a little pork schnitzel left over... Enter:
Greek Marinated "Stir-Fry" on Cheat's "Greek Spinach Rice"...
|Complete with Lemon Pip...
Recipes follow the jump...
You will need:
For Pork:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp dried or fresh mint (mine came "fresh" from a tube...)
1 Tbsp dried oregano
4 cloves of garlic, smashed and minced finely
200g pork schnitzel, sliced into thin strips.
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper.
Basically, chuck everything in a bag and smoosh it around a bit. Then leave to marinate for at least an hour - but overnight in the fridge is best!
When you're ready to eat the pork, heat up a frying pan and chuck the whole lot (minus plastic bag) into the hot pan and toss until cooked. Serve over your choice of carbohydrate and vegetable... Or with tzatziki.
For the Spinach Rice:
Rice for four, cooked.
200g fresh spinach, washed and finely chopped.
25-50grams butter.
1/2 onion, finely diced.
2 cloves, garlic, crushed.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium low heat, throw in the garlic and onion and sautee until soft. When garlic/onion is soft turn heat up to medium-high to brown. Once brown, add spinach and wilt (you may need to add some water at this point). Finally pour the cooked rice over the spinach mix and stir until heated/mixed through... Serve with meat of your choice!

It's dedicated to THE SILVER AGE OF COMIC BOOK ART, my comic book art history book that was originally published in 2003—it won the Independent Book Publishers Award for Best Pop Culture Book of that year—and is due to be republished later this summer/fall, in a revised (as in all the typography) hardcover (with a few surprises for those who have the original hardcover; for those who have the original softcover, you'll now be getting the 16 extra pages only in the hardcover!) and digital/e-book editions (the colorful images literally leap off the screen)!
Become a member here and you'll be the first to know when the book's available for sale—and those who leave their name in the comments section of this pinned post will reserve one of 200 signed & drawn-in hardcovers!
Of course, this group will be mainly a forum for discussing all things Silver Age (and as members of my other Facebook group, Neal Adams Almanack: https://www.facebook.com/groups/326921490741151/ are aware, it's Show & Tell here as well: there will be no posting of an image here without a verbal comment, and vice-versa). Let the Silver Age activity begin!

Headlines – Week of August 29, 2010
September 5, 2010
Commercial Real Estate Yields Spur Investors
According to an article in Bloomberg, yields on U.S. commercial real estate are nearing a record high compared to Treasury bonds, a signal to many investors that now is the time to buy property.
Capitalization rates, a measure of real estate yields, averaged 7.22% in the second quarter, as calculated by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries. That was 4.29 percentage points higher than the yield on 10-year government bonds as of June 30 and 4.75 percentage points higher than Treasury yields as of Aug. 31.
The current spread is near the record 5.39 percentage points in the first quarter of 2009, when the U.S. was dealing with the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The spread shrank to less than 80 basis points when commercial real estate prices peaked in 2007.
The article points to the recent acquisition of the 33-story Wells Fargo Building in San Francisco by a group of South Korean pension fund investors as an example of how low cap rates have dropped for some high end buildings. According to Real Capital Analytics Inc., a property research firm the office tower sold at a cap rate of about 7%.
In another transaction in New York, RXR Realty LLC bought a stake in a 22-story office building, at a cap rate of 6%.
U.S. sales of office, retail, industrial, apartment and hotel properties totaled $20.7 billion in the second quarter, up 86% from $11.1 billion a year earlier.
However, the deals were still 85% below the peak of $135.7 billion in the second quarter of 2007.
Florida Population Grows Again
According to the latest preliminary population estimates from the University of Florida (UF), Florida's population grew once again last year after declining for the first time since the end of World War II the year before.
The Bureau estimates that Florida added a modest 21,000 residents between 2009 and 2010, but that followed a population decline greater than 56,000 between 2008 and 2009.
Florida grew by more than 125,000 residents in every year from 1950 to 2008. In 2009 it is estimated that Florida added 21,285 residents with its total population increasing from 18,750,483 on April 1, 2009, to 18,771,768 on April 1, 2010.
Foreign immigration continues to be relatively strong, and the state also continues to have substantially more births than deaths – the drivers of Florida's growth in the last year.
The largest population gains were in some of the biggest counties. Miami-Dade led by adding an estimated 8,253 residents, followed by Hillsborough, 6,353, and Broward, 5,834.
The county with the biggest percentage increase was Lafayette, which grew by 5.2%, but that change was largely attributed to the addition of state prison inmates. There was no pattern to which counties lost population, which were spread throughout the state and include both large urban counties and small rural counties.
The largest population decline was in Seminole County, which lost 3,659 residents, followed by Pinellas, 3,119, and Volusia, 2,055. In percentage terms, the county with the biggest decline was Glades, followed by Jackson and Holmes.
The Bureau expects Florida's population to continue to grow slowly during the next year or two, however within the next 10 to 20 years, the state's annual population growth could be as high as 250,000.
From 2003 to 2006, Florida's population grew by more than 400,000 per year, and in the previous three decades increases averaged about 300,000 per year.
Between 2000 and 2010, the counties that grew the most in absolute numbers were Miami-Dade, Orange and Hillsborough. Flagler had the highest growth rate, 90.4%, followed by Sumter, 82.6%, Osceola, 59.8%, St. Johns, 50.6%, and Wakulla, 41.7%.
The population figures are interim estimates that will be replaced by numbers from the 2010 census when they become available early next year.
Commercial Conditions Favor Business Growth
According to Lawrence Yun, National Association of Realtors (NAR) chief economist, the fallout from the recession continues to impact commercial real estate.
Vacancy rates are beginning to level off in some sectors, but rent discounts and moderate levels of landlord concessions are widespread. As a result we are very much in a tenant's market which is quite favorable for businesses that are considering expansion.
Looking at the overall market, vacancy rates will shift modestly in the coming year according to NAR's latest COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK. The NAR forecast for four major commercial sectors analyzes quarterly data in the office, industrial, retail, and multifamily markets. Historic data were provided by CBRE Econometric Advisors.
Office Markets
Vacancy rates in the office sector, with high levels of available sublease space, are expected to increase from 16.7% in the second quarter of this year to 17.0% in the second quarter of 2011, and then ease later next year. The markets with the lowest office vacancy rates in the second quarter were New York City, Honolulu and Long Island, N.Y., with vacancies around the 9 to 11% range.
Annual office rent should fall 2.7% this year and decline another 2.1% in 2011. In 57 markets tracked, net absorption of office space, which includes the leasing of new space coming on the market as well as space in existing properties, is projected to be a negative 13.6 million square feet this year and then a positive 22.6 million in 2011.
Industrial Markets
Industrial vacancy rates are likely to decline from 14.1% in the second quarter of 2010 to 13.7% in the second quarter of 2011, and then continue to ease modestly as the year progresses.
The areas with the lowest industrial vacancy rates in the second quarter were Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Kansas City, with vacancies ranging between 8 and 11%.
Annual industrial rent is estimated to drop 5.4% this year, and to decline another 4.7% in 2011. Net absorption of industrial space in 58 markets tracked is seen at a negative 31.7 million square feet this year and a positive 157.2 million in 2011.
Retail Markets
Retail vacancy rates should hold steady at 13.1% in both the second quarter of this year and in the second quarter of 2011, with a level pattern for most of next year.
Markets with the lowest retail vacancy rates in the second quarter include San Francisco, Honolulu, and Miami, with vacancies of 7 to 8%. Average retail rent is expected to decline 2.6% in 2010 and then flatten out, slipping 0.1% next year. Net absorption of retail space in 53 tracked markets is forecast to be a negative 2.3 million square feet this year and then a positive 6.4 million in 2011.
Multifamily Markets
The apartment rental market – multifamily housing – is benefiting from modestly higher demand. Multifamily vacancy rates are likely to decline from 6.0% in the second quarter of this year to 5.6% in the second quarter of 2011.
Areas with the lowest multifamily vacancy rates in the second quarter include San Jose, Calif.; Pittsburgh; and Philadelphia, with vacancies of less than 4%.
With additions from new construction, average rent should slip 0.6% in 2010, and then hold even in 2011. Multifamily net absorption is expected to be 105,200 units in 59 tracked metro areas this year, and another 138,000 in 2011.

|What our customer said about The Baby Loft.
|Great Service from the Baby Loft
|by Scott on Tue 21st Feb 2017
|Laura and her staff at the Baby Loft were excellent. The crib, booster seat and toys were all waiting at where I was staying by the time I got there and everything was in great condition. Laura was always quick to respond to emails and was on time to pick up the baby gear on the day I was leaving the city. Everything was reasonably priced as well. I would definitely use the Baby Loft again if I'm traveling in the area.
Thanks again,

For the 4th of July, Grandma Handy bought all the grandchildren 4th of July outfits! One day I strapped Joshua to me and played the guitar he was in heaven. Joshua has fingured out how to semi- crawl.
The Johnny Jumper is a new favorite of Joshuas!
Idaho Folk Festival:
Mike and I had a blast during the folk festival. We hosted the director of the Taiwan and 2 twelve year old girls. We were also team guides so we spent a lot of time with the Taiwan team. They all absolutely adored Joshua. Everywhere I took him he was surrounded. He always showered them with his charming smile. The week was full of fun activities such as going to city of rocks, Shoshone Falls, Boating, Picnics, Late night games, and lot of yummy treats

A Film by Frank Mosley
Two women reunite in a quiet neighborhood before a party begins. But by turns mysterious and shocking, the film's narrative begins to unravel even as the women's relationship teeters on the edge of truth.
Loosely inspired by Ibsen's "A Doll's House'', SPIDER VEINS is a mercurial investigation into varying levels of everyday artifice. Starring Katey Parker, Danielle Pickard, and Jennifer Mazza-Nguyen. Written and directed by Frank Mosley.

Check this out!
This is a project that's been in the works for at least two years now. I worked with the artist Karl Edwards to come up with the final design. We spent months going through hundreds of iterations before finally settling on the design you see here. Then, months more were spent for the actual badge production. I can't relate how pleased I am with the design.
The head tube badge you see here is the first prototype. It's very nearly the finished product. It hearkens back to head tube badges in the past. I've always wondered where the artistry went on badges for more modern bikes. It seems like such an important symbol, especially in the world of custom bicycles.
This is my way of marking time -- starting in 2012 all new Ahearne bikes will have this head tube badge.

About Us
At Lord of Life we have a genuine concern for the well-being of all people. We joyfully follow God's call to love one another, and we invite you to experience the word of God without fear of judgment or discrimination. With God's help we provide a safe and fulfilling place for you, regardless of where you are on your faith journey. There is a place for every member of your family at Lord of Life.
What is a Lutheran?
Lutherans believe in the Triune God. God created and loves all of creation - the earth and the seas and all of the world's inhabitants. We believe that God's Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life, and we trust that God's Spirit is active in the world, guiding our lives.
We are part of God's unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God's word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God's own saving story.
Our pastor
Rev. Dr. Dawn Enderwood grew up on the prairies of Kansas. She attended the University of Kansas, where she earned a bachelor's degree in journalism. She continued her education and received a master's degree in communication theory. She worked in the broadcasting industry before starting a family. After her daughters were in school she began teaching communication classes on the college level. In the late 1990s, she attended seminary at the Lutheran Seminary Program of the Southwest in Austin, TX. In 2013 she received her Doctorate in Ministry at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa. Pastor Dawn has three daughters, Quinn, Rachel and Anne. Pastor Dawn's ministry centers on the words of Paul to the Ephesians: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life." (Eph 2:8-10) This means that we do not earn our way into God's heart. God created us and loves us regardless of what we do. This is good news to all people. As Lutherans, we believe the best response to God's blessings to us, is to share blessings with others. We might say: Pay it forward.

The media portion of Bloomberg's business is tiny right now, but that could change, as the company tells BusinessWeek's Jon Fine. One option the company is exploring is potential acquisitions. That would be a new direction for the financial news and data provider, which has built all its media properties in-house. As Norm Pearlstine, Bloomberg's chief content officer, says: "We're just sort of saying: 'Hey, we're looking for good ideas.'"
As for ginning up good ideas at its existing units, Dan Doctoroff, the company's president, concedes that the TV operation is "not what it should be." And while he adds that "We have the pieces…to create something new and different," he's not about to reveal any details. As it stands, the media business brings in less than 10 percent of Bloomberg's estimated $5.4 billion in overall revenue.
— Finally challenging CNBC: While there has been a lot of focus on the match-up between CNBC and the fledgling Fox Business Network, it's worth noting that Bloomberg reaches 58 million U.S. homes, still higher than FBN's 43 million. Doctoroff expects that number to rise to 70 million by '09, though it will continue to be outpaced by CNBC's access to 90 million U.S. homes. As we recently noted, Bloomberg has struck a deal with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) TV Ads, which serves targeted ads to EchoStar's 14 million households. This month, after a short stint at Sony (NYSE: SNE) BMG, former NBC exec Andy Lack was brought on to coordinate programming efforts for Bloomberg TV, just as the demand for financial news has increased.
— Not just for terminals: The bulk of Bloomberg's revenues come from the $1,500 monthly rentals of its financial data terminals. But the company also wants to revamp Bloomberg.com. Even less detail was offered here, though Doctoroff suggests that the site could capitalize on newspapers' dire situation by offering increased content services. But as Fine points out, it's unlikely that Bloomberg will be offering local business news. In any case, Doctoroff says the changes to the site's operation will become clear sometime in the second half of '09.
Hear more about Bloomberg's plans during a keynote Q&A with Norm Pearlstine, chief content officer of Bloomberg, at our Future of Business Media conference on Oct. 28 in NYC.

After all was said and done both the piece and my costumes got a nice review. Phew

Cruella Collett, and boy did it make me giggle! Thank you, Cruella.
4. Nominate six creative liars –I mean writers– and post links to them.
5. Let your nominees know that they have been nominated.
Six + One
You decide if the six are true or false, and which one doesn't fit. I'm not telling! :)
1. When I was fifteen, I was fortunate enough to go on a vacation... ehem, "student ambassador" program to Europe. While in London, we took a cruise down the Thames with the British prime minister. And I fell asleep. Oops!
2. While studying abroad in Russia in 1999, I twice went on camping trips in the Caucasian mountains with a non-violent Chechan guide. My parents were none to happy, since this was less than a month after the Chechan war had started (again...).
3. Also during my semester in Russia, I had to sort out some banking troubles I was having. Unfortunately my Russian was *cough* downright atrocious, but I hadn't asked anyone to accompany me. I spent much too much time trying to convey to the woman at the bank what the problem was, and she treated me like an idiot with the mental capacity of a four-year-old due to my poooooooor Russian. A woman behind me in line became so incensed by how long it was taking, she began hitting me with her oversized purse, screaming something to the effect of "If this were still the Soviet Union, I wouldn't have to wait behind..." You can fill in the rest. I ran away and returned a few days later with an interpreter.
4. Pacifist that I am, I've been kangaroo hunting in New South Wales. After someone shot a kangaroo that would become our dinner the next night, the kangaroo was tossed into the back of the pick-up with my friend and me, only to discover it wasn't actually dead yet... It more or less had a seizure while my friend and I screamed. The man driving got out of the truck and bashed the kangaroo's poor little head until it stopped again.
5. I am a seasoned world traveler (or so I like to tell myself), and at least half of my travel abroad occurred before I turned 18, but the only country I was taken to by my parents was Canada.
6. When I was a kid, I love wearing my roller skates. I wore them everywhere (though my mom drew the line at church, but I tried). While I was outside one day hanging out with the boys down the block, they dared me to climb the tree in one boy's front yard. Of course I accepted the challenge since I didn't want to look like a wussy girl. With my roller skates still strapped on tight, I got most of the way up before I fell and broke my arm. I didn't get to keep my roller skates after that :(
7. My family frequently drove to Lake Catherine in Arkansas when we lived in northern Louisiana. When I was four, I had a life jacket that said "Little Fishy" on the back. Strapped into my Little Fishy life jacket, my dad's friend convinced my parents to let me go water skiing on the tyke-sized skis he had for his own kids. After much enthusiasm on my part, they couldn't possibly say no. And, might I add, it was AWESOME! I love water skiing.
Stop back on Friday for the big reveal as to what's true and what's not.
So, now I have to pass this on, huh? Hmm... I'm going to pass this on to a couple of new and awesome blogs I've founds recently that you should definitely check out.

People from around the league had similar responses:
- Eric Boygenius, head coach of the New York Letdowns: "Oh shit. Do we have to play them again? Man, that's going to be like 105-0. Crap."
- Randall Godfrey, linebacker of the Washington Not-good-enough-to-be-named-after-mighty-native-american-warriors-even-though-that-would-be-less-offensive-to-some-people: "I told Belichoke to show some respect. So he did, by throwing another 80-yard bomb for a touchdown. Oh man, who doesn't respect touchdowns?"
- Coach Bill Belichoke: "Up yours Roger F-ing Goodell."
And, lest we forget, there is one other team we might pay attention to. That team has played under the radar this year, a little odd for a Super Bowl Champion. They too are undefeated. They are the mighty Indianapolis Colts. Last time we checked, they have a little bit of a winning streak against the Hatriots. This Sunday, we will see if they keep that winning streak alive. We will see if King Manning and his charges can end this season of non-defeat. We will see how the morality play of good versus evil pans out.
So Haters, one and all, for this upcoming weekend, put on your blue and white Hatred Tees and sing Blue Sunday loud and clear. Stick pins in your Hatriots dolls. Sit in your lucky chair. Do your part, and maybe the Colts will do theirs. And maybe, just maybe, this nightmare season of non-defeat will come to an end.

World's End by Mara Sonnenschein
The waiters, in white djellabas, meandered through the rooftop crowd with trays of champagne flutes. The British guests took the champagne, paying no attention to the servers, continuing their conversations about being English in New York and isn't Marrakech lovely and can you beat an October wedding under the moonlight. The Americans were sheepish, stopping their discussions to take the glasses and smile at the waiters apologetically. A few Brazilians grabbed the champagne as if it were a life source, similar to how they'd clapped when Gemma and Max, the bride and groom, had kissed during the ceremony. A lone Russian stood in the center of the group, chugging Cristal directly from a bottle.
Rebecca watched the drinkers because she wasn't drinking. She had never been to Morocco before, had never been anywhere in Africa, but she'd overly indulged at plenty of weddings. She didn't speak Arabic or French, and the waiters wouldn't have spoken to her anyway, but she could sense their disdain for the alcoholic crowd of Seth's friends. It was Ramadan, full-moon Ramadan, and the westerners had come to enjoy a luxurious and boozy wedding afforded by currency conversion.
The full moon obscured the countless stars that she and Seth had seen earlier in the week on their side trip to the Sahara. A twelve-hour drive across crusty red earth, a night spent in a stifling tent on the sand, a morning camel ride that had awakened back muscles neither of them knew they had. Frightening food, hot canteen water, black garbage bags blown around the globe to die in the desert. "You're at the end of the world," she and Seth had been told several times by the camel wrangler. In the swelter of the day, with the camel's breath blowing back on her like landfill stench and her head pounding like she was in detox, she had noticed that Seth couldn't stop smiling.
The party moved to the interior courtyard. The riad was beautiful, ivory plaster, orange trees growing in tiled pots of indigo and green, a small swimming pool flashing aqua. Carved wooden chairs and tables were scattered throughout, and curtained nooks allowed clandestine conversation or more for the revelers.
Rebecca watched Seth on the other side of the dance floor with his friends, doing a jokey Running Man and laughing. He reminded her of a puppy skidding across a linoleum floor. She curled in on herself a bit. "Falling in love a few weeks out of rehab is just another addiction," her sponsor had warned her.
A couple in a dark corner hunched over for a minute, then lifted their heads up quickly, brightly. She couldn't see the white dust rimming their noses from this far away, but she would know those motions anywhere.
Seth broke her focus. He planted himself down next to her, serenading her with Fatboy Slim, praising her like he should.
"Dance with me," Seth urged, pulling her to her feet.
Rebecca pulled back at him. "I hate this song," she said.
"I figured," Seth agreed. "But I want to watch you shake."
Rebecca considered holding a trembling hand up to Seth. "Here," she wanted to say. "Watch me shake."
She wondered what Seth's friends would think if they knew about her. She already knew that Seth would leave her when he found out, but she imagined him telling them she was a drunk, that he'd thought she was a health nut because they'd met in the running group a year back and she was a vegetarian and he'd just assumed she didn't drink as part of all that. She wondered if they'd think Seth was a fool, and the thought of his friends telling him he was too naive, and Seth becoming more guarded with the next woman he dated, made her hate him a little bit and herself even more.
The waiters appeared again with their trays of champagne flutes. Seth grabbed two. "They're going to toast the group," he said, proffering a glass to Rebecca. She froze.
"I … really, I shouldn't," she said.
"I know you're not a drinker," Seth said, "but a little bit won't kill you."
The music was turned down and lights were turned up. The crowd grew quiet, moved closer together. Gemma, the bride, moved to the center of the room, then held out her hand for Max, her new husband. Rebecca noticed that Gemma's nail polish, a dark bloody red, was already tarnished.
Seth threaded both champagne glasses into the fingers of one hand, then put his free arm around Rebecca.
Gemma was saying something that made everyone laugh. Max laughed so hard it looked like he was vomiting. Gemma took a moment for Max to gather himself before she continued.
Rebecca watched Seth's face as he listened to his friend. He didn't have dimples. His chin was a bit weak. He was only 30 but his hair was beginning to recede. She would remember these things about him.
"Do you need something, babe?" he whispered to her. Rebecca shook her head.
She calculated ways to leave the room and call her sponsor. But how? She didn't have an international plan on her cell phone. Do Muslim countries have AA chapters? She blurted out a small giggle.
As Gemma finished her speech, everyone lifted their champagne glasses in the air. Seth looked at Rebecca, quirked an eyebrow. She shrugged the smallest of shrugs. She took the glass.
"To you all," Gemma said.
"To us," Seth said to Rebecca.
"To the end of the world," Rebecca said, and clinked her glass against Seth's.

Kaling grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where her mother is a doctor and her father an architect (they played her parents on one of her Office episodes). After graduating from Dartmouth, she and her friend Brenda Withers wrote a two-person play called Matt & Ben, a humorous take on how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck came up with Good Will Hunting (Kaling played Affleck). They took the play for a short run in L.A., where it was noticed by Office producer Greg Daniels. Her character on the show, Kelly Kapoor, is a vapid customer-service representative who has an encyclopedic knowledge of celebrity breakups and romantic comedies. Anytime I play a role, it will just be a version of myself, says Kaling, following the path of her comedic role model: People assume it would be Tina Fey, and she is a great hero of mine, but Woody Allen is really the ultimate. I love that he believed in himself enough to do what he did. And I have that same feelingthat there's nobody that looks like me in movies, nobody would cast me as a romantic lead, but I want to do it and I feel confident that I can.
Kaling's goal is to write the classic romantic comedy for her generation, where women are as into the NBA and true crime as they are into searching for love or the perfect pair of shoes. I've led kind of an interesting life, and I drink and party and I am funny and have a good group of friends. And I wonder, why isn't that on TV or in the movies? Her favorite romantic comedy is Nora Ephron's You've Got Mail, the film about love found on the Internet, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I saw it when it first came out, she says when I was an intern at Late Night With Conan O'Brien. I was 18 and very intimidated by New York, and this movie made me fall in love with the city. She admires the film for its restraint: A lot of romantic comedies now have to be R-rated sex comedies. Do you even see anything other than Meg Ryan's wrists in You've Got Mail? She dresses like a female comedy writernothing is fitted, everything is four sizes too big. Kaling watches the movie in fifteen-minute intervals, when I'm doing sit-ups after a run or something, and it'll cheer me up. That and The Fugitive. Whenever that's on, even the last five minutes, I'm in.
The Low Self Esteem of Lizzie Gillespie, currently in preproduction, is Kaling's first big-screen stab at her fantasy. It's about a girl who gravitates toward ugly losers because she thinks she'd never be able to date anyone attractive and cool. The focus, she says, is 80 percent interaction between three female friends. Judd Apatow was really onto something when he wrote movies where guys actually talk the way guys do. I've never seen that done with female friendships. Every so often, Hollywood tries this thing of, Girls are just like guys! They talk about fucking and sex!' I mean, I don't necessarily go there with my friends, nothing that lurid.
Kaling vows to do away with dumb conventions that drive her nuts: Why do all the women have to be klutzes? All these pretty women with no discernible flaws, so let's make them a klutz! Or what about all the skinny women shoving food in their mouth on dates? It would be so much funnier if the women weren't skinny. That's a great Onion headline: Actual Fat Woman Shoves Food in Her Mouth in Romantic Comedy.'

Petaluma Bankruptcy Lawyer
Many clients come to me after an accident, job loss or illness caused them significant debt. Bankruptcy laws were intended to deal with this very situation. The inability to pay resulted in continuing harassment from collection agencies and a marked decrease in their quality of life.
Creditors may pass judgment on you in their debt collection efforts. I won't. I'm a lawyer who is here to help you, not judge you. I provide you with facts and empower you with information so you can make a sound decision on relieving the burden of debt.
Contact a Novato Medical Bill Attorney Today
To set up your free initial consultation at the Law Office of Andrew Kern, contact me online or call 707-658-4602.
I'm attorney Andrew Kern, a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA), and I help people understand the bankruptcy process and how it can help discharge medical debt.
Medical bills are considered unsecured debt and are dischargeable through a bankruptcy filing. Those expenses and other bills can be eliminated, allowing you to get a fresh start. Again, choosing bankruptcy is not a moral decision. It is about economics and a recognition that the medical care you unexpectedly needed was far more than your insurance or lack of insurance could cover.
You Don't Have to Feel Guilty About Overwhelming Medical Debt
The truth is, good people can find themselves in bad situations. Good people get sick and suffer injuries. Through no fault of their own, they need medical treatments, therapies and surgeries. I am prepared to guide you through the entire process, remaining at your side until your case is resolved.
The Personal Service You Deserve From a Petaluma Medical Debt Attorney
To begin the debt relief process with a free initial consultation, contact me online today. My law firm is conveniently located near Highway 101 in Petaluma, California.

Myths and Legends/
Myths and Legends is a great site for pupils, teachers and all those who enjoy stories and storytelling. The British Isles is rich in myths, folktales and legends. Almost every town, city and village in Britain has its own special story, be it a Celtic legend, Dark Age mystery, strange happening or fable.
This flash based website has to be one of the best literacy offerings I have ever come accross so far for its depth of content media and its excellent sory creator tool that allows students to create their own animated storyboards of their own myths and legends.
The variety of stories in Myths and Legends aims to give inspiration to young people at school and at home to create and publish their own work. The site provides a multitude of tools and opportunities that enable pupils to submit their stories for the enjoyment of a world wide audience, with the prospect of receiving peer review and evaluation.
Most of the site is for the enjoyment and instruction of young people; just the story origins and teachers' area use language which may be more difficult for some pupils.
Differentiation is achieved by the range and flexibility of the tools offered. Children can, and do, respond creatively at their own level in a variety of media.

What's your RV style? (Part 2: campervans and towables)
In Part 1 of your RV style guide, we looked at motorhomes – motorized vehicles with all of your amenities onboard. Part 2 of this guide looks at campervans and towables, ranging from fully equipped to fairly spartan. So, questions to ask yourself: can I drive a vehicle towing another vehicle? Do I own a pickup truck? Is an outdoor shower something I can handle? Do I know how to cook ramen on a camp stove?
We're here to help – have a read over some more great options for embracing the RV lifestyle, and hopefully we'll see you out there someday soon!
If you're on Instagram and you're an RVer, we'd say it's pretty dang impossible for you to have missed the hashtag #vanlife. If you haven't seen it, first: HOW? And second: search for it, and you'll find a multitude of inspirational travelers who've sold it all for life on the road in small campervans – from newer models like Mercedes Sprinters, to the retro beauty of VW Westfalias.
Van life is about minimizing, simplifying, and seeking out the incredible experiences that driving adventures provide. This means that your quarters will be rather small, but they can also be perfectly formed (again, #vanlife delivers some incredible campervan interiors). Most vans will have a minuscule slide-out or in-van kitchen and a bed area/platform, and some have pop-up roofs for extra space when parked. There's no bathroom and no living area, but what you lose in amenities you gain in lifestyle. Pack your guitar, camera, a travel stove and a broad mind, and you, too, can be part of #vanlife.
Pull your weight
Favored by those who like to park their rig and then gallivant, unfettered, around their new neighborhood, the travel trailer is a non-motorized home on wheels that can be towed by mid-size vehicles. Travel trailers offer your essentials, like a kitchen, dining space, bathroom and lounge area, so you can cook, eat, wash and chill. Of course, sleeping arrangements are also included, so you can sleep, too (what luck!).
Remember, you need to match the loaded weight of your trailer to the towing capacity of your vehicle, otherwise there's a chance your towable will become a separate entity somewhere along the highway.
Four wheels? That's not enough!
You want lots of space? A stable towable? A bedroom area that makes you feel like you're loft-living in San Francisco? (OK, that's a stretch.) Well, fifth wheelers offer you most of the above. They have a raised section at the front for the master bedroom, which is coupled in over your towing truck bed (you will need a one-ton pickup). Getting the bedroom out of the main area affords more space for you to put in some recliners, a bespoke coffee table made from redwood by that guy you met in California, and maybe a nice big plasma.
Many people prefer towing a fifth wheel to a conventional travel trailer, as the hitch is located in the bed of your pickup over the back axel, giving it more stability and better traction.
If you're someone who likes a bit of the luxe lifestyle while RVing, there are some models of fifth wheel that offer washer/dryers, on-board generators and ceiling fans, on top of your stock-standard inclusions. Prices can easily get up to over $100,000, so keep that in mind when shopping.
For lovers of origami
The folding camping trailer, also known as a pop-up or tent trailer, is kind of like a jack-in-the-box. While you're towing one of these genius contraptions, it's a low-profile box on wheels. Pull up to your camp spot, and with a few flicks of the wrist and a snap of the fingers, your tent on wheels will emerge.
This is a great option for those who love the outdoors feel of being in a tent, but also appreciate being elevated (we mean in a physical sense, but spiritual works, too). They're also great for anyone not wanting to shell out a bagful o' cash – prices are anywhere up to around 30,000, typically.
Load up the pickup
Do you love carrying large items in the bed of your pickup truck? YES? Fantastic! This might be the camper for you. Much like the fifth wheeler, truck campers require you to have your own pickup. With that taken care of, choose some digs that you can slide into the truck bed, fasten the camper down, drive to your destination and slide the camper out onto its sturdy legs. These days, truck campers come fully equipped, with kitchens, microwaves, bathrooms – the works! Slides can also be included for more space.
This option can also be very budget-friendly (depending, of course, on the model and manufacturer). In addition, you have a smallish RV that will shimmy itself into smaller spots than your regular motorhome RVs, and if your truck happens to be an off-roader, you can head down those sandy tracks to the beachside spots, leaving larger RVs in your wake.
Take your toys!
Are there any RVers out there who love the outdoors? Anyone? Ha, just kidding. We know you're all gaga for what's outside. Those of you who like to get out and about on motorcycles, ATVs, dirt bikes or other outdoor toys will love the sport utility RV. It has all of the usual features – kitchen, dining, bathroom, lounge and sleeping, but it also has a built-in garage! Drop the back of the trailer down to form a ramp, wheel in your goodies, and then hit the road to your adventure destination.
The sport utility RV, or toy hauler, is essentially a travel trailer with a bit of interior space turned over to the toys. Be doubly sure to check your towing capacity, because when you're towing a trailer full of motorized vehicles, you can be certain that your load will be heavier than most. But your wallet will be lighter, with the super-blingin' versions of these vehicles reaching up to $200,000.

As the collections manager aboard the SS John W Brown I come across a lot of information on ships being sunk during World War II. With the recent loss of the MV El Faro, I had a glimpse into that feeling of loss and what it was like for the Merchant Marine of World War II. On October 1, 2015, 33 mariners aboard the El Faro were caught in a hurricane with only their survival suits and open air lifeboats. Every mariner complains about weekly fire and lifeboat drills and having to re-certify their training every five years but when something like this happens, it all comes into focus.
While doing research at the Seaman's Church oral history database the majority of the veterans talked about lifeboat and survival training. The biggest difference between my training and theirs was the mentality. For my generation it was "this may happen, but when it happens, it will be catastrophic." For the World War II mariners it was "this will happen to you (probably more than once), this will save your life."
The sinking of the El Faro happened while I was originally putting together this blog and this event snapped into focus the crux of what I hoped to accomplish with this blog post: a compelling story of war, an unforgiving ocean, and a hero: 2nd Cook James Gilbert Squires.
On March 9th 1943 The SS Malantic was steaming from New York to England in convoy SC 121. At 7:30 pm, local time, the Malantic attacked by U-409. The first torpedo struck the stern (the aft end) and thirty seconds later a second torpedo struck near the number 1 cargo hold, forward. The Malantic immediately began to list and the order for abandon ship was given. The master, who was injured, and ten other crew members launched in Lifeboat 1, starboard side while the chief mate and 29 other mariners launched Lifeboat 2.
It took about an hour for the SS Malantic to sink and another hour for the rescue ship SS Melrose Abbey to rescue the survivors. Third Mate Einar Tessam, in Lifeboat 2, saw 5 or 6 bodies in the water; they weren't moving because they had already succumbed to hypothermia. The water was close to freezing that night and the seas had 30 foot swells.
The SS Melrose Abbey rescued Lifeboat 1 first. The seas were rough so 2nd Cook James G. Squires manned the lines to keep the lifeboat made fast to the Melrose Abbey. This action made getting the injured master of the Malantic and 9 other crew aboard much easier and quicker, also ensuring nobody was lost overboard. While attempting to get to the rescue net from the lifeboat Mr. Squires was caught in between the vessel and the lifeboat. In his exhaustion from working the lines during the rescue he could not pull himself up, a large wave came by and he was taken out to sea and never seen again.
While the SS Melrose Abbey was rescuing lifeboat 2 the lifeboat capsized. Only "9 or 10" of the mariners in that lifeboat made it aboard the SS Melrose Abbey.
The survivors were taken to Scotland, returned to service, and the story of 2nd Cook James Squires' heroism made its way to the desks of the US Naval Forces Europe, War Shipping Administration, Maritime Commission, and Office of Naval Intelligence. Testimonies were given by several crew and the next of kin to James Squires were presented an award for his heroism.
This was just one night in a war that lasted for two more years.
Below is the digitized contents of the file for this incident. This is just one object in our Collections.
Not much more to say. We think about and pray for peace for all the families that are living this nightmare today. This happened to more of our men in WWII then we can even put an exact number on, due to the documentation practices during the war. Technology today speeds things up, much more, but the pain that the families feel is tangible.

Practicing Tiny: Pantry
My KonMari tidying process slowed a few months ago because, well, a boy. Don't worry, I'm not going to gush about that here—but suffice it to say I wasn't spending as much time left to my own devices in my apartment.
In fact, we spend most of our time at his place—and that means I've started cooking in someone else's kitchen. At first, it was real rough: I could never remember which spices he had at home or what cooking tools I had to use when I went to buy groceries for the week.
Feminist side note: I like to cook. He doesn't know how to cook. I hit the jackpot with a man who will do all my dishes and take me out to dinner when I don't have the energy to make something. That's all I have to say about that.
Eventually, I learned how to make lots of my old standbys by adding just a few things to his kitchen arsenal—and it made me realize I probably have more than I need at home. I've already downsized a lot of my kitchen tools, but I found myself cooking just fine with one drawer full of supplies compared to the much larger stash of stuff at home.
I finally had some time totally on my own with nothing better to do than, well, finally get around to cleaning out my pantry. And y'all, it was depressing.
I knew I'd have a few expired things but I didn't expect to throw out more than I kept. But yeah, that's what happened. After filling a big ol' trashbag, I'd reclaimed a serious amount of tupperware.
I had items with expirations dates for every year going back all the way to 2010. Yikes.
In the process of purging my pantry, I did learn a few things:
- Transferring to plastic containers makes storage easier—but freshness questionable. I really like buying in bulk or just moving things from bags and boxes to sturdier, stackable plastic containers. I labeled things—but failed to put any date information on the label as well. I did a lot of Googling and sniffing to guess if things were good, but I could've saved myself this work by labeling to start with.
- Nuts don't last very long. Like a month. Sniff test them (bad ones apparently smell like paint), but I had some that I knew were at least 2-3 years old (most shelled nuts are good for about 6 months). Since nuts are so damn expensive, I'll be a lot more careful in the future.
- Spices last up to 4 year and tea lasts under a year. In both cases, this was actually longer than I thought, but in both cases, the fresher the better. I've started buying Spicely brand since they sell small portions instead of big jars. In general, it's still better to use your spices within 2 years.
My pantry is a little non-normative in that I decided to use simple boxes to keep things looking neat on the outside and dark on the inside (generally helpful in preventing things from going bad quickly).
I started with 8 completely full boxes of foodstuffs plus an open shelf of canned goods—I ended up with 6 of these boxes loosely filled (I definitely could've condensed more but part of the beauty of this method is being able to pull out related items easily).
As depressing as it was to get rid of so much wasted food, it did remind me about things I forgot I had and could enjoy—like coconut to add to my pancakes or a can of pears for a refreshing snack. Here's to creative cooking before I buy a bunch of new stuff!

Can Christians say 'Allah' in Malaysia? Muslims say no.
From TIME.com | Read article in context. By Baradan Kuppusamy
Kuala Lampur -- "Why are the Christians claiming Allah?" asks businessman Rahim Ismail, 47, his face contorted in rage and disbelief. He shakes his head and raises his voice while waiting for a taxi along Jalan Tun Razak, a main thoroughfare in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital.
"Everybody in the world knows Allah is the Muslim God and belong to Muslims. I cannot understand why the Christians want to claim Allah as their God," Rahim says as passers-by, mostly Muslims, gather around and nod in agreement.
The reason for their anger is a recent judgment by Malaysia's High Court that the word Allah is not exclusive to Muslims. Judge Lau Bee Lan ruled that others, including Catholics who had been prohibited by the Home Ministry from using the word in their publications since 2007, can now use the term. She also rescinded the prohibition order freeing the Malay language–edition of the Catholic monthly The Herald to use Allah to denote the Christian God.
After widespread protests, however, the judge granted a stay order on Jan. 7. The same day the government appealed to the higher court of appeal to overturn the ruling.
The anger seemingly turned violent late Thursday night after masked men on motorcycles firebombed three churches in the city, gutting the ground floor of the Metro Tabernacle Church located in a commercial building in the Desa Melawati suburb of the capital.
The attacks, which police said appeared uncoordinated, were condemned by the government, opposition MPs and Muslim clerics alike. On Friday Muslims demonstrated in scores of mosques across the country but the protest was peaceful. In the mosque in Kampung Baru, a Malay enclave in the city, Muslims held placards that read "Leave Islam Alone! Treat Us As You Would Treat Yourself! Don't Test Our Patience!" This, amid cries of "Allah is Great!"...

Bacons Shoes in Dudley, part of the Stylo Barratts chain of shoe shops, sought a low cost method of keeping the city centre shop cool whilst still keeping the door open.
In a very competitive market running costs were also a significant factor.
An externally mounted EcoCooler feeds cooled air to the area over the suspended ceiling which acts as a plenum chamber. Standard grills are installed where the air flow is required. The grills can be easily relocated to either change the air flow distribution or reflect changes in the layout of the shop.
The EcoCooler can only run when the front door is open and a contact made in the control system. In manual operation there are five fan speeds and the option of pure ventilation or evaporative cooling. In automatic mode a combined thermostat/humidistat automatically controls the operation of the EcoCooler to achieve a set room temperature.
The performance of an evaporative cooler is dependent upon the ambient weather conditions. The hotter the air and the lower the relative humidity the greater the cooling effect. The charts below show the performance of evaporative cooling in Birmingham, UK and analysing the actual performance of an EcoCooler in this climate.
The weather in Birmingham, in common with other temperate climates, follows a pattern of hot times of the day coinciding with low relative humidity. This means the greatest cooling effect occurs at the hottest times of the day. When the air is cool the EcoCooler operates in 'Vent' mode and acts as a pure ventilator. During hotter periods 'Cool' mode is used which, in Birmingham, can provide up to 9°C of cooling.
An evaporative cooler in this climate can consistently provide comfortable temperatures. It can be seen from above that there were 36 days in 2005 where the ambient temperature exceeded 21°C with a maximum of 29°C. The cooled air from an EcoCooler would never have exceeded 21°C during this period.

Close call: iPhone stops bullet during armed robbery of Fresno State student
A Fresno State student is lucky to be uninjured after an armed robbery near the campus in which a gunshot fired by the thief was blocked by the victim's iPhone, police said.
Fresno police Lt. Joe Gomez said officers responded to a 911 call at Campus Edge Apartments on Bulldog Lane around 11 p.m. Monday. Detectives located the victim, who told them he had been walking home and nearly reached his front door when a man approached him from behind.
The man said something the victim didn't understand and pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at him, then reached for the student's laptop bag, Gomez said. The robber fired one shot, which shattered the iPhone in the victim's pants pocket.
The suspect ran off with the bag, which contained a silver HP laptop. The student was not harmed.
The suspect was described as 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 170 pounds. He was wearing a dark ski mask, a black sweatshirt and dark pants. Witnesses say no vehicle was used in the robbery.
Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Fresno Police Department at (559) 621-7000 or Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-STOP.

Barpeta (Assam)/Katihar (Bihar), April 19 :
BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Saturday fired fresh salvos at the Congress, terming the UPA a "mother-son" government and raking up the alleged land deals of Robert Vadra by saying that the country wants to know about the "RSVP (Rahul, Sonia, Vadra, Priyanka) model".
Addressing rallies in Bihar and Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said the Congress was sure to be defeated in the Lok Sabha elections.
In his rallies in Assam, Modi challenged Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi to "a face-off" as they were both addressing rallies in the state.
"Rahul Gandhi, you are also in Assam today (Saturday). I am also here. So let's have a face-off," Modi said at Barpeta. Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally in Nagaon.
Attacking the Congress and Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, Modi said: "Just tell me why is a mill here in Assam closed? What is your chief minister doing? He has been selected three times and he can't even start a mill which will provide employment to the youth."
Urging people to vote for the BJP, Modi said the Congress will not do anything for the common man.
Hinting at the allegations that Sonia Gandhi went through files from the Prime Minister's Office, Modi said the country "cannot be run by remote control" and accused the Congress of making false promises.
He urged voters to give the BJP at least 300 seats to form a strong government.
Addressing a rally in Katihar in Bihar, Modi raked up the alleged land deals by Vadra and said the country wants to know about the "RSVP model".
Modi, who has been under attack from the Congress over his Gujarat model of development, referred to Vadra and said India wants to know about the model in which "Rs.1 lakh become Rs.300 crore in four years".
"They ask for RSVP in big functions. In India's politics, we have RSVP too and a media house threw light on their activities," Modi said.
"Rahul, Sonia, Vadra and Priyanka… this is the RSVP model. Rahulji, you talk on Gujarat model but the nation wants to know this model," Modi said.
Vadra is the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Referring to the United Progressive Alliance as a "mother-son" government, Modi urged people to get rid of the model for real development and change in their lives.
"If you want change in life and better days, get rid of the mother-son model of government. Vote for BJP to form a strong and stable government to bring change in your lives," he said.
Modi also addressed another election meeting in Supaul parliamentary constituency, where he again targeted the Gandhis as well as Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his Janata Dal-United.

Day of Infamy is in alpha which means that it is not fully optimized.
There are certain things you can do to make the game run faster, without necessarily making the game look a lot worse. Below are a list of suggested video settings changes, which we would recommend reducing one at a time to see if it makes a difference.
1. Effect Detail / Soft Particles - If you notice your frames dropping when a lot of explosions, bullet impacts, and other action is happening on screen.
2. Scope Detail - If you notice your frames dropping when using magnified optics.
3. Global Shadow Quality and Model / Texture Detail - If after adjusting the above, you still have low frames, try lowering these as a last resort. They will have a more profound impact on performance all around, but will also result in a lower quality visual experience.
