Tickets Human Nature presents "Tales of a Sexual Tomboy", written and performed by Joyful Raven and directed by Jael Weisman. The show is a raucous one-woman comedy about a horny tomboy, equipped with bad boundaries from her hippie upbringing, looking for empowerment in all the wrong places. Blending stand-up and story telling, Raven recounts some of the more disastrous and misguided moments from her treacherous path towards sexual liberation. She tries, and often fails, not to overwhelm her lovers by being too horny, too bold or too passionate.
Tickets $12 at brownpapertickets or Wildberries Marketplace
Treading on the boundary between comedy and tragedy, the piece asks some important questions about modern sexuality: How is a woman to display her power in a world that still asks her to be smaller, more passive, and more demure than she would like to be? Why, when we have come so far on the road towards women's liberation, are women still so afraid to communicate their desires? With unflinching honesty, Raven delivers 60 minutes of dark comedy with deep heart.
"Brutally funny and honest. Think Lena Dunham if she was raised by northern California hippies." - Chris Wolfe

Amber Tamblyn + David Cross Marry Despite 19-Year Age Difference [PHOTO]
This weekend, former 'Joan of Arcadia' series star and 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' actress Amber Tamblyn wed comedian and 'Arrested Development' actor David Cross after a four-year courtship.
Yeah, we know. A celeb wedding. Whatever. But since Cross is almost two decades Tamblyn's senior, this is quite the May-December romance -- and that's causing a bit of a stir on the interwebz.

Robin Hobb, real name Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden, was born in 1952 in California. At nine years of age she and her family left California to live a self-sufficient life in Alaska. After graduating from high school, she attended Denver University before returning to Alaska. She married a local fisherman, and they moved to a small island of the coast of Alaska. She submitted her first story that same year.
Over the course of the following 10 years Robin Hobb had three children and she also managed to continue writing and submitting stories. 1982 brought the sale of her first book, Harpys Flight and three other books with the same characters quickly followed. After several collaborations and more published work she sat down to start something different, a piece of work under the writing name of Chivalrys Bastard, she also chose to write in the first-person narrative that is far from common. It was at this time, in talks with her agent, that she decided to create a new name to go with the new writing style the androgynous Robin Hobb was selected, Robin could be a mans or a womans name and Hobb was used due to its similarity to fantasy folk like Hobbits and Hobgoblins.
Robin Hobb is best known for the fantasy series The Farseer Trilogy, which brought her both success and critical acclaim. The Liveship Traders Trilogy followed.
She writes fantasy fiction under the names of Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm and presently lives in Tacoma, Washington. In addition to writing, her interests include gardening, mushrooming, and beachcombing.

BiblePaint Coloring Book
Free to try Kea Software Windows 98/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 Version 1.0 Full Specs
Publisher's Description
From Kea Software:
BiblePaint is a fantastic coloring book which includes over 30 beautifully hand-drawn coloring pages, by Enache Bogdan. This coloring book is an absolute delight, and each coloring page is accompanied by the related Biblical verses, making it a great introduction to the Bible. The Old Testament coloring pages include well-loved stories such as Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and David and Goliath. In the New Testament coloring pages, we learn about the life and times of Jesus Christ and his disciples. Kids and adults alike will have hours of fun coloring in with the paint-bucket, free-hand brush, and special magic-brush. The magic brush lets you paint freehand, but magically keeps you inside the lines. Even if you do make a mistake, the "Oops" button will fix it up. The paint palette shows 20 paint colors at a time, and there are 10 palettes to choose from, but the really fun part is that you can take the colors and mix them together. Kids love sucking up paint from the palette and squirting it into the mixing trays to get just the right color. Those feeling even more creative can break out the marker-pen and eraser to add new black outlines, or remove existing ones. Change some of the existing pictures, or create something completely new on one of the three extra blank pages at the end of the coloring book. There are fun sound effects, and music by Victor Spiegel. The sound volume can be adjusted. BiblePaint "remembers" where you were up to, so if your coloring fun is interrupted (perhaps by bed-time) you can come back and pick up where you left off. When you are done, it's easy to print your masterpiece or save it to disk. You can save in different sizes, so that you can create a small one for e-mailing and a bigger one to use as your desktop.

As the editor of Psoriasis Advance, a consumer magazine published by the National Psoriasis Foundation, I had the good fortune to work with Nicole Van Hoey earlier this year. Nicole created a reader-friendly glossary of terms for a drug pipeline that we published in our summer issue. Her knowledge of the drugs' chemistry and mechanism of action allowed her to produce brief, clear and concise explanations for our lay readership. Nicole also wrote articles for Psoriasis Advance that "translated" complex research projects into language that our readers could understand. Nicole is creative, expert, knows and adheres to deadlines and style policies and is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her.

Dennis Lenzendorf opens the Yellowstone East Entrance on Friday for the first day of the 2012 summer season. (Ruffin Prevost/Yellowstone Gate – click to enlarge)
By Ruffin Prevost
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — There are few things in life that seem to be all things to all people, but Yellowstone National Park took on that role Friday, as everyone from lucky accidental tourists, faithful photographers, middle school students and hardcore snowboarders flocked to the park on the first day the Yellowstone East Entance was open for the 2012 summer season.
Local snowboarders Chay Donnelly and Brad Metzler were two of the early visitors spread among two dozen vehicles waiting for the Yellowstone East Entrance to open at 8 a.m. They joined wildlife photographers, nature lovers, office workers playing hooky and others anxious to get into Yellowstone at the earliest opportunity.
"I ride the stuff a lot of folks don't ride," said Donnelly, who was joining Metzler on a hike to one of the snow-topped peaks above 8,524-foot Sylvan Pass, just inside the East Gate.
Donnelly and Metzler figured it would take them two or three hours to hike to the top of Avalanche Peak or one of the other nearby mountains and ride about 2,500 vertical feet back down to their starting point.
The two plan to continue hiking and riding in the peaks around Yellowstone until the snow is gone, which could be well into June.
"Thank God for Wyoming," Donnelly said.
A few cars ahead, a group of photographers were chatting along the bank of the North Fork of the Shoshone River as they waited for Yellowstone East Entrance Ranger Dennis Lenzendorf to open to morning traffic. The park's west entrance opened in April, and the South Gate opens Friday, while its north and northeast entrances remain open year-round.
Many of those who ventured through the Yellowstone East Entrance on the first day it opened for the season are devoted visitors who see their trip as an annual rite of spring.
"It's almost kind of a religion," said Don Getty, who calls himself a "serious amateur photographer," from Wapiti, Wyo.
"I love to get here before the tourists show up and start scaring all the critters," said photographer Lynn Richardson. "When it gets busy, the animals get skittish, and people don't respect the animals enough."
Photographers especially cherish the early and late months of the summer season, when crowds are sparse and rangers are a bit less likely to be out in full force, giving shutterbugs a bit more freedom — real or perceived — throughout the park.
Wapiti photographer Mike Robinson kept his distance from a determined grizzly bear digging for roots and tubers along the road near Lake Butte Overlook, between the Yellowstone East Entrance and Fishing Bridge.
"We call this bear 'the 45 mph bear,' because he's been right by this speed limit sign every spring for three years straight," Robinson said.
A group of about eight onlookers watched as Robinson used a telephoto lens to snap close-up pictures of the bear, who rarely glanced over from his digging to check on the crowd, which would no doubt be five times larger if it were August.
The same was true throughout the park Friday, where a relatively small group of about three dozen people showed up for the 1 p.m. eruption of Old Faithful geyser.
Spring sees fewer visitors and wilder weather in Yellowstone, and Friday offered snow, sleet, rain and bright sunshine at various points during the day. Services are open mainly at Old Faithful and Mammoth until later in the season, but gas is available any time at most pumps through automated credit card sales systems.
Bertha and Mike Eubank were headed from Cody, Wyo. to the park on Thursday — one day before the Yellowstone East Entrance opened — when they saw a flashing roadside traffic sign that noted the road was closed at the Yellowstone East Entrance 50 miles ahead. They returned to Cody and decided to stay for at least two more days to see the park for the first time.
The couple had been on a road trip from their home in Crawfordsville, Ind. to South Dakota when they decided to extend their trip and take in Yellowstone.
"It's just gorgeous. I'm ready to move out here," Bertha Eubank said. "It has been a pleasant surprise."
It was 80 degrees when the Eubanks left home, but snowing Friday morning at Artist Point, at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
"I"m happy we brought the proper gear," she said.
Some middle school students visiting Artist Point on a field trip had not brought the "proper gear," or at least chose instead to sport lightweight attire ranging from T-shirts to pajama bottoms as they shuffled through light snowfall to take in views of the Lower Falls of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
The students from Utah schools in Kamas and Coalville, east of Salt Lake City, were staying in Gardiner, Mont. and taking in the park's wonders by bus.
"It's not what I expected, but it's better than I expected, really," said first-time visitor Mindy Burgess, who listed bears and wolves as her favorite animals in the park.
Other students said they were surprised to learn how "smelly" some of the park's thermal features are, and they were shocked to see two wolves feeding on a young bison.

Hard rock heroes Wolfmother revived their genre with a surge of energy widely unexpected from the masses; however few imagined that not only could this momentum be capitalized upon properly, but that it could be topped. Thanks to the Guitar Hero franchise, to which Wolfmother largely owed its success, it all flourished; however, Canadian quartet Priestess was able to display a far superior songwriting prowess, and given that they emerged about the same time as their Australian counterparts, Priestess truly assert themselves on their briskly advancing sophomore effort.
Lady Killer gives Prior to the Fire an excellent, blazing start, with simultaneously complex and fist-pumping hooks. There's an immediate feel somewhat different from that on their debut, however; whereas the debut was chock full of quick and snappy hard rock, here there's a slightly more progressive quality. The following Raccoon Eyes is more suggestive of Hello Master, with its rapid, punchy delivery, though it still sounds just right where it is. The Firebird perhaps is the first to truly establish the album's mood, as it makes the previous two songs sound better together by successfully combining the best of both in four compelling minutes of intricate stadium rock.
Next is Murphy's Law, written about what vocalist/guitarist Mike Heppner has stated to be his favorite movie (Robocop). This revelation renders the lyrics as slightly... okay, very cheesy, but since this is the obvious intent, you can't help but be charmed by the oddly gentle song's personality; as is said in both the song and (almost) the film, "that's some fancy shooting, kid." The band wastes little time busting out The Gem, an eight minute epic sounding slab of hard rock that sounds as though it should have been saved for Prior to the Fire's latter portion. Still, the band is able to make nearly ten minutes go by very quickly with clever hook-ridden progression, especially in Heppner's shouted vocal patterns. However, what is clearly intended as the album's centerpiece eventually gets too self conscious to reach for greater heights, and almost as if aware of this, it ends with a very unfitting abruptness.
The extremely dynamic Communicating Via-Eyes isn't particularly remarkable but boasts an outstanding solo and keeps the record's propulsion going until Lunar kicks in, which is one of the moments in which drummer Vince Nudo shines; namely in his magnificent cymbal work. Heppner isn't exactly left out of the money himself, as his vocal hooks here are among the best the band has shown yet. In fact, Heppner's vocals steal the show again on the following It Baffles the Mind. He may not be a technically proficient singer, but he can flawlessly carry a melody, and his powerful voice unquestionably takes command here. The song's tangled bridge only serves to further compliment the slick songwriting.
While Heppner may not be at his most convincing shouting "I'm a demon" with his high register, the song is musically worth all its effort. The beat changes so frequently that one can't help but be impressed by how the song's personality is unchanged by the numerous time signatures found within, as well as, again, Nudo's great drumming. We Ride Tonight's sliding guitar riff carries an impressive amount of charisma on its own, but combined with the rest of the band's efforts, proves to be nothing less than a highlight of the band's admittedly short catalogue. The closing has difficulty keeping up with all that has preceded it, but while it shows a chink it the album's consistency, it's very forgivable, considering its fearlessly aggressive beat and ferocious melody.
Unfortunately the States will have to wait until February 2010 (god, that year's not even a month away and it still looks futuristic.. maybe THEN we'll finally get our hoverboards) for an official release due to a few label related conflicts, but Priestess' highly anticipated follow up is well worth the wait. The added progressive rock influences have only helped Priestess sharpen their sound, and it's become evident that if any band can top Wolfmother in the arena rock department in this era, it's them.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Maine's highest court Thursday denied a Bridgton man's appeal of his conviction and life sentence for the 1994 murder of a single mother who was stabbed repeatedly in her home while her 12-year-old daughter heard her screams from her bedroom next-door.
In its unanimous ruling, the Supreme Judicial Court rejected Michael Hutchinson's argument that the collection of a DNA sample that linked him to the killing of Crystal Perry 12 years later violated his constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The justices also rejected Hutchinson's claim that Maine's sentencing law violated his right to a jury trial because it allowed a judge to impose the maximum sentence of life imprisonment based on facts determined by a judge, not a jury.
Hutchinson, 34, was convicted two years ago in the killing in southern Maine's Lakes Region, where the killer and victim lived a couple of miles apart but apparently did not know each other. Perry, 30, was raped and stabbed more than 50 times.
The search for the killer hit a dead end until Hutchinson's DNA sample � taken after his 2003 conviction for criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon � was checked against samples in Maine's database of unsolved cases and matched the DNA found in Perry's body.
Hutchinson, a self-employed mason who had never been under investigation for the killing, testified at trial that he had consensual sex with Perry before a stranger burst into the room, knocking him unconscious and stabbing her to death.
Perry's daughter Sarah, who had moved to North Carolina, spoke at the sentencing. She recalled how she heard her mother's cries and ran down her rural road to neighbors' houses in the middle of the night in search of help.
In rejecting the challenge to DNA sampling, the high court said the state has a substantial interest in obtaining genetic information from felons because it can be used to identify and monitor them. Likewise, it said, "individuals who lose their liberty as a consequence of a criminal conviction also lose a large measure of their privacy, including their right to keep personally identifiable information private."
Hutchinson also took issue with the trial judge having cited evidence of a sexual assault as an aggravating factor justifying a life sentence. The defendant was not charged with raping Perry and jurors never concluded that he did so.
The court, however, found that the life sentence was within the discretion of the judge, who based it on the savagery of the killing as well as the sexual assault.

stats? what stats?
11 comments:
Stats make my eyes glaze over. I sign up, I embed, and when all is arranged, do nothing further. I guess I really don't care enough. Should I? Perhaps. But in the big picture of life I think I'm willing to let this thing slide out from under my grasp.ReplyDelete
I'm in the same boat as sMac. I've got it all set up, but rarely do I look. I am likely avoiding something else I really should be doing if I start clicking on the stats details...ReplyDelete
I sign up, have the code, and I look at the stats, just 'cuz I'm curious. (some people call it nosy.) from there, I may do some modifying, I just think it's interesting to see what the stats are. who's been looking, from what reference site, what posts are the most popular. I just find it a fascinating study in psychology.ReplyDelete
Sometimes I use it but not really regularly. I agree though that it can be an important exercise if you are looking at growing your readership. I think it's got a lot of potential to help you focus your blog and it's content. I do use google analytics for my etsy shop quite regularly.ReplyDelete
Thanks, once again for simplifying information that makes me pull the covers over my head.ReplyDelete
I tried hooking up google analytics - seems to have worked on one of my etsy sites but not the other ??? why - I have no idea because I'm so techno challenged it's pathetic!ReplyDelete
I know I should use them,...but Like I said,.... :)
Never mind the statistics! I wish to say something about Sophie: she has a beautiful face and wise eyes. She is lovely:)ReplyDelete
Have a nice day!
Hahaha! Thank you Przadka! Sophie sends her thanks, too.ReplyDelete

Hi Lori, I just discovered your blog, and must say that you take really good pictures. I also found about I heart and would surely participate in with my next post. Now about the post i think I have always been curious about Google Analytics, may be will try to install one now :)ReplyDelete
I have a Blogger blog and I occasionally look at the "stats" tab to see a number, since I am a fairly new blogger. I have never gone any farther than that. After reading this post I am a little more curious. So after I get the "Sophie" look off my face, I think I will re-read this post and do a little research. Thank you for all the stat info...and Sophie is precious. Were you explaining stats to her to get that look :) Hope you and Sophie are having a great day!ReplyDelete
I love stats, does that make me a bad person, ha ha. I do watch them, but the tips were great, thanks! RikiReplyDelete

I'm out next week, and will return August 20, in time for the run-up to the U.S. Open. Can it really be that time of year again already?
By then, we should have a new look around here at Tennis.com. Change, we think for the better, is coming soon on the site. Here's a personal post for the road.
The word "tennis," on one level, means the same thing to all of us. Racquets, balls, lines, forehands, backhands, singles, doubles: That's tennis. But anyone who plays it with more than one opponent knows that the sport changes, sometimes subtly, sometimes significantly, along with the face on the other side of the net. The rules, the equipment, the court size stay the same, but the experience of the game is a dynamic one. Whether it's the particular spin your opponent puts on the ball, or what he or she likes to talk about on the changeovers, you'll find a different side of the sport with every friend and rival. "My tennis partner" is the term we use to describe them, and that's what we all are, partners in creating the sport together.
The subject is on my mind at the moment because one of my regular opponents—much more friend than rival—is moving out of New York. Jimmy is his name, and he's leaving Brooklyn to teach creative writing at Wellesley College near Boston. There are worse-sounding gigs in the world, and this one has been well-earned. After years of taking teaching gigs part-time and writing on the side, his novel, The Arriviste, was published in 2011 and was up for the Best First Fiction prize from the Los Angeles Times this spring. Besides a love of tennis, we share a love of books. I doubt I'll find another partner who will have Suetonious in his racquet bag and talk about Sebald and Bolaño between games.
When he told me about the award ceremony in L.A., Jimmy said he probably shouldn't bother going because he wasn't going to win. The comment was completely in character for the Jimmy I knew of him from the tennis court. Part absent-minded academic, part Woody Allen-esque master of self-deprecation, he was the least competitive of competitors. You might even say that he didn't really like to win, because it violated his image of himself.
I remember Jimmy walking to the net after our warm-up, head down, shoulders hunched, pushing his glasses up and grumbling under his breath about his bad backhand and ragged grip.
I spun my racquet. "Up," he said as it twirled.
"It's down."
"Right," Jimmy said as he turned around to head back to the baseline. "Good!" He seemed to believe that he didn't deserve to win the toss, that fortune was punishing him, rightly, for that bad backhand and beat-up grip of his.
Contrary to his opinion, however, Jimmy was and is a good player. He played in college and hits with such extreme topspin on both sides that I had to take many of his shots from above my head—my shoulder would be sore the day after our matches. But he was less-than-impressed with himself. If one of his topspin shots got past me me, he would say, "My specialty, the shank winner," or "Don't worry, I won't hit it that way again." When he went up a break in a set, he would stop on the changeover and say, "You're always in it with me." Sometimes I was, but sometimes he kept going and won the set anyway.
He was a character. On more than one occasion, Jimmy asked me where the third ball was on the court, only to discover, after a few seconds of searching, that it was in his own pocket. For some years, he had an old dog he would bring to the courts, without a leash, who would curl up under one of the sideline chairs while we played. When we finished, the dog, without a word from his master, would hoist himself up and walk in between us to the car. Jimmy was jokingly nicknamed "Wheels" by one of the other members, in part because he's fast, but also because he seemed like the least likely person to have a jocky nickname.
A bad shot could inspire him to have an animated talk with himself:
"What are you doing, you bozo!" he would yell, and then follow up with a lacerating response: "Shut up, just shut up."
Even his well-reviewed book was nothing to brag about. When another club member asked him what it was about, Jimmy tried briefly to describe it ("It's about this guy, I don't know, he's kind of going downhill...") before finally assuring him, "You probably wouldn't want to read it anyway."
The best thing about playing with Jimmy, besides the matches and the laughs, was the way he made the idea of serious competition seem faintly ridiculous, and far too solemn an activity. With Jimmy, unlike with other opponents of mine, playing poorly was fun, too. Screwing up could seem to be what tennis was all about.
Since he left, I've begun to play with a new, younger member named Jason. He works in the district attorney's office, and is a very good athlete. He's competitive, but not overly so. We played two solid, sweaty sets last week. At the end, we walked to the net, told each other something like, "That was great, man," and shook hands in the up grip, which, at the rec level, indicates a match well played. I'm looking forward to many more with Jason like that one.
Tennis will move on for me, to new opponents and friends, and the new relationships and dynamics and versions of the sport that they help create. It will be fun, and it won't be quite the same.

There seems to be a lot of debate about stretching. Is there any real benefit to stretching? Do I need to stretch before playing sports? The New York Times just published an article called " How Necessary is Stretching" which pointed out that runners who had tight hamstrings seemed to run easier (better running economy) and perform better.
Being a personal trainer and gym owner for over 25 years and attending numerous lectures on the subject, I have seen it come full circle. Many years ago when athletes were not really stretching everyone was advocating stretching to prevent injuries. Now there are numerous studies that show that static stretching before speed and strength activities inhibit muscle and temporarily make them weaker. If you talk to a yoga instructor they give numerous examples of students who feel stronger and healthier from the increased flexibility from practicing yoga.
Why I think there is so much confusion about stretching is that "all stretches are not created equal". There are so many different ways to stretch just like there are so many different ways to train. Doing static stretching will produce a totally different result then active stretching or dynamic stretching. To determine which stretch protocol, if any, is best for you, you first have to determine your fitness goals.
Three Different Types of Stretching and How to Use Them:
Static Stretching: is what most people think of when talking about stretching. It involves passive relaxing and elongation of a muscle or muscles while holding it for 10 to 30 seconds. An example of a static stretch would be to put your heel up on a chair and let your hamstrings relax and elongate for 30 seconds. If you go to a gym you might see trainers passively stretching their clients on a treatment table. It seems like this type of stretching temporarily increases flexibility. For how long is hard to say, it depends on how often you do it. The negative is that there are many studies that conclude that static stretching before a speed or strength activity can inhibit or temporarily weaken the muscle being stretched. You have to decide if giving up a little strength is OK for the increase in flexibility. A ballerina might need extreme flexibility and be willing to give up a little bit of strength and stability for a performance but a 100-meter sprinter may not. A sprinter may want to do more of a dynamic warm-up. As a general rule I would save static stretching for after your sport or workout.
Active Stretching: is when the person stretching supplies the force or the contraction to the stretch. I like to call this contractile stretching. It can be dynamic with movement or static as a hold. I like active stretching very much. I think active stretching with a static hold, is one of the safest ways to stretch. When you are actively stretching you are really working out. It is very similar to performing isometric exercises, where you contract and hold a position. Its really safe because any position you can contract in to, is a safe position so you are building mobility and stability at the same time. Active stretching involves reciprocal inhibition, which means that when you contract one muscle or groups of muscles their antagonist has to relax and elongate. An example would be to stand up with your feet shoulder-width apart and rotate as far as you can one way and hold it. Half your body is contracting while the other half is elongating. I did a video called Safe Stretching, which explains active stretching in more detail. I don't see any real down side of active stretching. You can do it anytime; before, during or after a workout or sport. If you are doing it as a warm-up; however, don't over do it. It can tire you out because it's a workout within itself.
Dynamic Stretching: involves using movement, most often sport specific movements to warm the body up and make it more elastic before an activity. Dynamic stretching is active stretching with movement. An example of dynamic stretching would be a sprinter performing high knee-ups with exaggerated arm movements while running to warm-up before a race. Besides opening up your range of motion from these movements you are also making a proprioceptive connection by patterning these movements. When you are moving, your muscles are always communicating with your central nervous system and sending messages to your brain. Dynamic warm-ups or stretches create better communication throughout your whole body. You're actually warming up the wiring in your body. I think sport specific dynamic movement is a great idea before any activity. I don't see any down side as long as you don't force the range of motion or use too much momentum when stretching.
These are three different ways to stretch. Give them all a try and let me know what's working best for you.

Actions speak louder than words. The pope should start with the riches of the Vatican first to prove he is sincere about what he says. Until than, all I see is political posturing.

Pope Francis urges global leaders to end 'tyranny' of money
3:25PM BST 16 May 2013
Pope Francis has attacked the "dictatorship" of the global financial system and warned that the "cult of money" was making life a misery for millions.
He said free-market capitalism had created a "tyranny" and that human beings were being judged purely by their ability to consume goods.
Money should be made to "serve" people, not to "rule" them, he said, calling for a more ethical financial system and curbs on financial speculation.
The gap between rich and poor was growing and the "joy of life" was diminishing in many developed countries, the Argentinian Pope said, two months after he was elected as the successor to Benedict XVI.
He's right.

Oh yeah, that's rich, pardon the pun.
Maybe the Vatican should start paying taxes or open up their coffers to the needy folk in the world.
I'm sure if they showed us their books and wealth holdings, we'd find they are just as much in bed with the banking oligarchy than any other institution.

He's right.
Unfortunately, no. Because what he will propose is a global monetary system, with a single world bank, and a micro-chipped population.
Why do you think we have had one wave of financial crisis after another? To make way for a global currency.
The Pope uses this flowery language to lull the sheep to sleep. Don't buy it. Think about his motives. This is one of the most powerful political positions in our modern world. He is using his bully pulpit to promote a global currency.

First of all, what free markets? Governments are constantly intervening to help out their rich buddies.

I think that the system allows for the right of control by States. Some might even say there's too much control. But certainly a good argument can be made on either side.
This imbalance results from ideologies which uphold the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation, and thus deny the right of control to States, which are themselves charged with providing for the common good. A new, invisible and at times virtual, tyranny is established, one which unilaterally and irremediably imposes its own laws and rules.
Moreover, indebtedness and credit distance countries from their real economy and citizens from their real buying power. Added to this, as if it were needed, is widespread corruption and selfish fiscal evasion which have taken on worldwide dimensions.
He sees the web and he's speaking out against the unjust top-down stratification of society and civilization which is sucking the "joy of life" out of the experience of life for so many people. I therefore cannot help but applaud his position and policy, because, given the Vatican's reach, it has and will have an impact.
Originally posted by ColCurious
I read the speech...and I agree to a point.
Here is my point:
Centralized financial systems already denied the right of control to national states (look what the troika did to greece for example) and deposed the people as the highest political body of our nations via lobbyism/corruption.
Giving more control to national states won't help, since they are already corrupted.
The way out (IMO) is to give the political power back to the people by limiting the power of said centralized political and economic systems. The Vatican council proposes a global financial authority (as far as I know), when what is really needed is exactly the opposite.
There are lots of ways to make money: You can earn it, find it, counterfeit it, steal it. Or, if you're Satoshi Nakamoto, you can invent it. That's what he did on the evening of January 3, 2009, when he pressed a button on his keyboard and created a new currency called Bitcoin. It was all bit, and no coin. There was no paper, copper, or silver—just thirty-one thousand lines of code and an announcement on the Internet. Nakamoto wanted to create a currency immune to the predations of bankers and politicians. The currency was controlled entirely by software. Every ten minutes or so, coins would be distributed through a process that resembled a lottery. This way, the bitcoin software would release a total of twenty-one million bitcoins, most all of them over the next twenty years. Interest in Nakamoto's invention built steadily. More and more people dedicated their computers to the lottery, and forty-four exchanges popped up, allowing anyone with bitcoins to trade them for dollars, euros, or other currencies. At first, a single bitcoin was valued at less than a penny. But merchants gradually began to accept bitcoin, and at the end of 2010 the value began to appreciate rapidly. By June of 2011, a bitcoin was worth more than twenty-nine dollars. Market gyrations followed, and by September the exchange rate had fallen to five dollars. Still, with more than seven million bitcoins in circulation, Nakamoto had created thirty-five million dollars of value. And yet Nakamoto was a cipher. There was no trace of any coder with that name before the début of bitcoin. He used an e-mail address and Web site that were untraceable. In 2009 and 2010, he wrote hundreds of posts in flawless English, invited other software developers to help him improve the code. Then, in April, 2011, he sent a note to a developer saying that he had "moved on to other things." He has not been heard from since.
To many people, this sounds like an implausibly rosy future, and for early adopters that is true — it feels like winning the lottery every day. However, for most other people, the ascendancy of distributed currency systems will feel like a disaster. ... the rise of distributed currencies such as bitcoin could create massive social upheaval due to governments' rapidly degrading capability to fulfill their core functions of taxation and regulation of commerce.

Te Rongo Kirkwood collaborating with weaver Mandy Sunlight.
"The immense freedom in trusting an intuitive idea, combining experimental concepts with glass-making techniques to create my work is thrilling."
These necklaces are inspired by Te Rongo Kirkwood's cloak forms in her exhibition Ka Awatea: A Journey of Life Through Glass. These adornment pieces are an extension of the cloak idea into necklaces combining woven flax muka with glass decoration.
"This was a personal exploration of the Māori cloak form, taking it from a ceremonial garment to a sculpted art object, where it is used to depict a spiritual journey through the cycle of life. Traditionally, the cloak (kahu) was held in high esteem by Māori as an item of adornment and prestige — a treasured artifact (taonga) that had a "persistent capacity to collapse genealogical space-time, allowing ancestors or tipuna to remain 'in touch with their descendants' through 'providing aho or threads that join layers of generational time.'" With Ka Awatea, Te Rongo uses the cloak or kahu as metaphor, providing the gallery visitor with a personal view of a life played out in significant and successive stages, from the perspective of a soul. Each of the aesthetic and formal evolutional changes between the cloaks represents a stage in a sequential journey through that life — rendered as morning, afternoon and evening — and symbolizing growth, transformation and the gaining of wisdom."

A Tradition of Excellence
It all originated with a family by the name of Stokely, a lot of hard work and a whole lot of character…
In the Beginning…
It was John Stokely and wife Anna Rorex Stokely who originally started the tradition of farming and selling their produce locally. Anna was a native of Cocke County and no stranger to farming. When she and John married in 1872 they started a farm of their own nestled along the French Broad River not far downstream from Anna's childhood home. After John's passing at age 49, two of his sons along with his wife Anna and a family friend expanded the business. Anna was a woman of strong character and faith. She was determined that her sons receive a college education and that they also follow in their father's example of hard work. The first year 4000 cases of tomatoes were canned and hauled by wagon then shipped by boat to markets in Knoxville and Chattanooga. The business was off to a successful start! The brothers and their mother bought out the family friend and brought their other brothers into the family business. One by one the brothers took turns completing their college degree then returned to the company to utilize their education. As this successful venture grew it became known as The Stokely Brothers Canning Company and was located in Newport, Tennessee.
The company's success was said to be due largely to the talent contributed by each brother. James ran the business and served as President and CFO, William managed farms and crops, John had the responsibility to oversee sales, while MIT educated George … well he was the inventive genius and provided many mechanical innovations. Anna remained at the center of Stokely helping in the store providing advice and encouragement and welcoming the growing stream of salesmen and food industry leaders who passed through the doors daily. As years passed the company continued to strive, survive nationwide financial panics, and expand into other cities. The Stokely Brothers grew to be one of America's largest vegetable canning companies.
Anna and her son George passed away on October 24, 1916. Three years later John passed away only to be followed by the passing of James in 1922. With Anna and three of its founders gone, William B. Stokely Sr. stepped up along with other family members and kept the business going … and growing. In 1926 The Stokely Brothers Canning Company brought their operations to the Town of Tellico, Tennessee and by 1927 the Stokely family had acquired more than 1400 acres. In 1933 The Stokely Brothers Canning Company became Stokely Van Camp. By 1953 the operation expanded once again with the purchase of a cotton mill in Tellico for use as a warehouse. The plant continued to process sauerkraut, green beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, lima beans and other locally grown vegetables for the next 56 years.
~Interesting Fact: In 1967 Stokely Van Camp acquired US Rights to Gatorade and became the first company to market sports drinks~
In 1972, the Bon Hicks family and the Bill Kilpatrick family bought the 65-acre property from Roger Mullendore and operated it as a beef cattle and burley tobacco farm until around 1978 when they began to put in the apple orchards. In 1986, the Hicks and the Kilpatricks called upon Stokely Hospitality Enterprises to create Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant by expanding the original farmhouse and transforming it into a family eatery. Over the years, guest demands led to a major addition … The Applewood Farmhouse Grill. The Grill was constructed in 1995 to help manage the overflow of guests and the long wait to be seated at The Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant. Other additions included the "Orchard View" dining room which was built in the early 90's and the "The Pantry" which became an extension of the "Country Kitchen" in 2012. Although changes and renovations have happened over the years, the overall feel has remained the same.
Stokely Hospitality Enterprises remains part of Sevier County, Tennessee and has been a permanent fixture since 1975. As the parent company of Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and Applewood Farmhouse Grill, the Stokely family continues their tradition of excellence and character by offering down-home southern favorites to more than a million guests per year. Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant proudly holds the rank of Sevierville's Oldest Restaurant and is fully committed to guest satisfaction. The seasoned staff and management take pride in living up to the standards of the company mission statement "To provide exceptional customer experience in a unique hospitality setting by creating great memories for our valued guests who feel welcomed and treated like family by our family of employees." From the Farmhouse to your house … it is all about Friends, Family and Fritters!

* Caterpillar, 3M forecasts slam industrial stocks
* All 11 S&P sectors lower, led by energy companies
* Chipmakers lead slide in technology stocks
* McDonald's and Verizon gain on solid Q3 results
* Indexes fall: Dow 1.45 pct, S&P 1.64 pct, Nasdaq 2.03 pct (Updates prices to late morning, changes comment)
By Amy Caren Daniel
Oct 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street sank on Tuesday as disappointing forecasts from industrial bellwethers Caterpillar and 3M triggered alarm bells over corporate growth and added to concerns ranging from China's slowdown to Saudi Arabia's diplomatic isolation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell to its lowest since July, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq retreated to levels last seen in May, continuing a punishing month for U.S. stocks.
The Nasdaq fell more than 10 percent below its Aug. 29 closing high and if the index closes at that level it would confirm a correction.
Caterpillar tumbled 7.9 percent after the heavy-duty equipment maker maintained its 2018 earnings forecast, while 3M Co slid 6.9 percent after cutting its full-year profit forecast due to currency headwinds.
The forecasts from the two Dow Industrials reignited worries over the impact of rising borrowing costs, wages and tariffs on corporate profits and caused S&P industrial stocks to slide 2.49 percent.
Along with worries over profit growth, concerns over events such as the upcoming U.S mid-term elections and Italy's budget have also sent investors scrambling out of stocks.
"We are in a risk-off environment right now. Markets are worried about politics and earnings," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York.
"Results from Caterpillar and 3M are an additional concern that the trade tensions are indeed pressuring corporate earnings and we possibly have been seeing a peak in earnings growth."
The beaten-down technology sector fell 2.28 percent, in tandem with global peers, over concerns of slowing growth in China and ahead of key earnings.
Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Intel, all due to report this week, were down between 1.7 percent and 3.4 percent. Apple fell 1.7 percent.
Profits of S&P 500 companies are expected to have risen 22.1 percent in the third quarter, slower than the previous two quarters, according to Refinitiv data. Growth is expected to slow to 19.6 percent in the fourth quarter.
At 11:10 a.m. EDT the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 368.34 points, or 1.45 percent, at 24,949.07, the S&P 500 was down 45.23 points, or 1.64 percent, at 2,710.65 and the Nasdaq Composite was down 151.30 points, or 2.03 percent, at 7,317.33.
The CBOE Volatility Index, Wall Street's fear gauge, rose 3.0 points, its sharpest jump in nearly two weeks.
All 11 major S&P sectors were in the red, with the defensive utilities, real estate and consumer staples indexes posting the smallest losses.
Energy stocks fell 2.93 percent, the most among the sectors, as oil prices fell after Saudi Arabia said it could supply more crude quickly if needed.
Chipmakers, which rely heavily on China for a significant portion of their revenue, led the losses among tech stocks. All members of the Philadelphia semiconductor index were in the red, led by Nvidia's 5.0 percent slide.
However, all earnings report on the day were not disheartening.
McDonald's rose 5.8 percent after it beat estimates for quarterly same-store sales as strong demand in international markets.
Verizon gained 3.6 percent to hit an 18-1/2 year high after beating estimates for profit and net new phone subscribers.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 5.49-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 4.80-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P index recorded two new 52-week highs and 86 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded two new highs and 344 new lows. (Reporting by Amy Caren Daniel and Savio D'Souza in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)

As part of the Sixteenth Commune Teacher Training, held this past October by the Documentation Center of Cambodia, or DC-Cam, participants learned about the history of Democratic Kampuchea and the Cambodian Genocide as well as strategies for engaging their students in the topic. In the midst of this 5 day immersion, Kelly Watson presented twice.
According to the final report on the event, "The main goal of the training was to equip teachers with the ability to teach about the history of Democratic Kampuchea (DK), providing them both with knowledge about different aspects of the DK regime and its legacy as well as with teaching methods to pass on that knowledge to their students."
The same report summarized Watson's presentations:
"Kelly Watson, Educational Program Coordinator for the Educator"s Institute for Human Rights (EIHR), gave two presentations during the training. Her first presentation focused on the definition of the Holocaust and how these characteristics are best taught to students. She started by exploring the terms "systematic", "bureaucratic", "state-sponsored", "6 million Jews" and "collaboration" while giving examples of each one. In her second presentation Mrs. Watson displayed photographs of forced evacuations from three different genocides, drawing the participant"s attention towards comparable patterns among different genocides. But before going into detail, Mrs. Watson-who is a teacher herself- stressed that the comparison of genocides is always difficult since one cannot compare the unique suffering and pain of people. At the same time, there exist parallels within genocides that are comparable, e.g. systematic killing, bureaucratic killing etc. Likewise she cautioned against a teaching of genocide which sets genocide as the only defining feature of a society. Rather, it would be important to include the events that happened before and after the genocide in order to teach about a society in a comprehensive way. When she asked the students if some of the terms would also suit to describe the genocide in Cambodia, many students drew parallels regarding forced evacuations, the bureaucratic killing reflected in the piles of documents such as photographs, forced confessions, and files on everyone who seemed suspicious. Tun Thang Doung, a Khmer literature teacher explained afterwards, she liked the presentation because "it is important for us to learn that it not only happened in Cambodia, but around the world". "

Bet Shira Kids Art Night 2014/
On May 1st, Bet Shira Early Childhood Center celebrated the 21st Annual Kids Art Night by creating a cruise-themed experience.
Chaired by PTC members, Melissa Dall'au and Courtney Larkin [pictured below], the annual fundraiser featured individual and class-created artworks by the school's children (ages 18 months to 6 years). "It was so exciting to have the kids see the final touches and setup before the event. They saw their art come together and the spotlight on their work. I'll never forget their faces," remarked Courtney Larkin.
Under the artistic guidance of art teacher, Michelle Diamond, the students worked together to create ceramic, mixed media pieces and Judaic art that were then auctioned off at the evening's live auction.
Guests mingled and dined while browsing and bidding on over 125 silent auction items donated by local Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay and South Miami businesses, as well as items from the Florida Marlins, Miami Dolphins and Florida Panthers.
The evening also featured over 800 professional portraits of the school children. Donated by Marta Villalba Photography for the past 8 years, these stunning photographs have become a centerpiece of the event. "One of the highlights of the year is to see how she captures the beauty of every child." said ECC Director, Dr. Judi Gampel.
This year's event was attended by over 300 patrons and the money raised will help fund cutting-edge technology in the classrooms. Bet Shira Early Childhood Center is a private preschool and kindergarten located in Pinecrest.

Pseudoephedrine is used to temporarily relieve sinus pressure and treat nasal congestion resulting from allergies, hay fever and the common cold, states MedlinePlus. However, the medication only treats symptoms and does not treat the underlying condition.
The nasal decongestant is sometimes used to prevent ear pain and blockage during changes in pressure, such as during flying or underwater diving, notes Medline Plus. This is not listed as an approved use of the drug on its labeling, but doctors may occasionally recommend it for this use with specific dosage instructions, says WebMD. Although the medication provides temporary relief from a stuffy nose caused by infections such as the flu, it can also treat symptoms caused by breathing illnesses such as bronchitis, reducing both congestion and inflammation.
Users should take pseudoephedrine tablets or liquid once every four to six hours as needed, and they may take extended-release tablets every 12 hours or according to manufacturer or physician's instructions, notes Medline Plus. If the user's symptoms do not improve within seven days or are present with a fever, the individual should stop taking the drug and contact a health care professional. Side effects of pseudoephedrine may include headache, nausea, vomiting, restlessness and weakness.

A Violation of Probation [VOP] or a Violation of Community Control [VOCC] is a serious situation. A person facing a violation of probation faces going to jail or prison up to the maximum he or she could have been originally sentenced to for the offense charged.
Violation Must Be Willful – Not by Mistake
The State must establish that you willfully violated your probation or community control. It cannot be due to mistake or being unaware of the consequences of an act. Although the standard of proof necessary to establish a violation is lower than at the trial level, technical violations do have the defense of
I didn't know. See Garity v. State, 970 So.2d 500 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007).
Consequences of Violations of Probation/Community Control
Once the prosecutor has convinced the court that you willfully violated your probation or community control, then the court can sentence you up to the maximum time the law allows. Violating any conditions set at sentencing can result in you being incarcerated, including these:
- Not filing a monthly report (absconding).
- Moving from residence without notifying your supervision officer.
- Use of intoxicants in excess (as evidenced by a positive or dirty urinalysis).
- Committing some illegal behavior (as evidenced by a dirty urinalysis or new arrest).
- Committing a new criminal act (getting arrested).
If you have violated your felony probation you WILL have to turn yourself in at some point to resolve this. It looks A LOT better to voluntarily turn yourself in than it does to have been picked up by the police when we are at your hearing trying to resolve this without more jail.
Common Mistakes While On Probation
The most important thing to remember is, even if you believe you will be violated, always report to your probation officer as scheduled. Being afraid that you will be violated is not a defense to not reporting. If you have been arrested you must truthfully fill out your monthly report. Failing to report and/or lying on your monthly report are sure ways to being found in violation of your probation.
There is absolutely no excuse for failing to report to your probation or community control officer and there is a corresponding lack of defense. Fear of being arrested is no excuse either. If you physically cannot report you must contact your probation officer immediately or as soon as possible with an explanation.
Falsifying a monthly report is also a quick way to be found in violation and sentenced to incarceration. If you falsify a monthly report it will be only a matter of time before you are violated. Advice: Always fill out monthly reports truthfully.
Early Termination of Probation in Central Florida
You already know what a burden it is to be on probation or community control in Florida. The best way to get out from under that rock is to early terminate your probation as soon as possible. For early termination most Courts will require that you complete half your time.
Early Termination of Community Control
Community control is rarely terminated completely. Usually it is converted to regular probation for the remainder of the time you were ordered to serve.
– STEP 1: Comply With All Conditions of Probation / Community Control
The first thing you must do is complete all the special conditions of probation? Your probation officer may suggest early terminating probation once you have completed all of these and paid all your court costs so long as you have not been previously violated.
– STEP 2: Make it to the Mid-Way Point of Your Probationary Term
Most judges will not early terminate your probation before the halfway point. This is not a rule or law, it just happens to be common practice.
– STEP 3: Early Terminate Probation As Soon As Possible
As soon as all special conditions of probation or community control have been completed and half the term is done you should immediately move the court to terminate your probation or community control. Why?
- Remove the probationer from any future sanctions.
- Stop the outflow of money and expenses associated with probation.
- Remove all restrictions on movement and travel.
- Remove barriers to employment.
Remaining on probation or community control runs the risk of you violating your probation for a technical violation (a violation other than a new law offense). This can be something trivial and defendable but a violation will put you in jail without a bond (for felonies) while you wait for your hearing.

Communion Statement
We rejoice in this celebration of the LORD'S Supper as the Lord Jesus indeed comes to us in a very intimate manner, giving to us His true Body and Blood in with and under the bread and wine in this sacred meal. St. Paul writes, "A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself." (1 Corinthians 11:28-29) It is out of love and care for every individual that comes to the Lord's Supper that we ask those who are not instructed in the faith and/or doubt the presence of the Body and Blood of Jesus in this Sacrament to speak to the Pastor before attending the Lord's Supper. Members of churches that belong to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, believing and confessing as we do, are invited to partake in the Lord's Supper with us. We practice Close Communion and ask that ALL guests who desire to commune, kindly speak to the Pastor before the service. Please respect our position of love in this matter of pastoral care, BSLC.
Holy Communion Celebrated...
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd weekends of each month. In addition, Holy Communion is also celebrated on Feast and Festival days: Christmas Day, Epiphany, Baptism of Our Lord, Transfiguration, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Easter Sunday, and Pentecost.

Farm to Fork: A Humble Gathering of Friends
November 6, a night of fellowship brought together by local Louisiana artisans, farmers, and culinary artists. Gathered around a 100 ft table built by My Diary of Us and myself from wood salvaged from Hurricane Katrina, we savored a locally sourced meal of spiced pumpkin and shrimp bisque, couchon de lait grillades over southern stone ground grits, and salted caramel creme brûlée. In collaboration with Country Table Delivery and Red Onion, we worked together to create a communal dinning experience with a multitude of artists and an evening focused on local craft.
String Remedy, a gypsy jazz band, provided the soundtrack for the evening as the guests sipped beverages from local distilleries- Cathead Vodka, Bayou Rum, and Tin Roof Beer. Hayes Kahoe worked feverishly in preparation for the main courses, as the local pig donated by Iverstine Farms roasted in the background. A dinner bell was rung and guests found their seats at the table; some beside familiar faces and some who would become new friends. The night brought together the guests in a new way, setting a table with the business man and the artist, the young and the old- all who found a common ground and appreciation for the night's celebration of our community.
Get the recipe for Cathead Vodka Pumpkin and Apple Spice cocktail served at the dinner from My Diary of Us!
