Dems hope McCaskill endures flap
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) hit an unexpected patch of turbulence on her ride to reelection in 2012.
In the past week, the Missouri Republican Party filed an ethics complaint against her in the Senate, after POLITICO reported she billed taxpayers for a political trip on her private plane. Republicans eager to unseat her next year seized on her blunder. And local newspapers have scolded her in their editorial pages.
Story Continued Below
Democrats are worried that the line of attack could stick, bruising the already vulnerable McCaskill who has made transparency a favorite campaign issue.
But they're cautiously optimistic her reputation in Missouri as a straight-shooter will carry her through the flap, particularly because she quickly choked off the scandal by cutting the Treasury Department a check before the story broke in the press. She apologized. She made no excuses.
McCaskill has even made the unique argument that her own "embarrassing" mistake, as she's called it, is just another reason to push for more openness in Washington.
"Claire has worked hard to fight for transparency and accountability in the Senate. It's clearly working because even she is capable of making a mistake shown by the sunshine of transparency. Fortunately she was able to be accountable to Missourians and make it right," said McCaskill spokeswoman Maria Speiser. "Surely the political food fight that takes place during campaign season will see this mistake as ammunition, but Claire has faith that Missourians will see through the games to the truth."
While Republicans will undoubtedly relish portraying McCaskill as another Democrat who fails to live up to the high standard she sets for others, Democrats argue her quick forthright approach helps shields her from the hypocrisy charge.
"All the flight information was publicly available. She wasn't hiding anything, so I don't think the transparency attack resonates," one Democratic elected official in Missouri said.
The story would only gain traction among voters if more mistakes are found in her financial records, the Democrat said.
"I think it had the potential to have an impact, but since Claire handled it immediately and correctly by paying the money and admitting the mistake, it won't have any long-term impact unless the Senate Ethics Committee actually takes it up, which is pretty implausible," said the Democrat.
With Republicans in attack mode, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has rushed to McCaskill's defense, threatening to drop "boulders" on the glass houses of potential GOP challengers like St. Louis-area attorney Ed Martin and former state treasurer Sarah Steelman.
"This is a failing attempt by national Republicans to Swift Boat Claire McCaskill. No one has been stronger protecting taxpayers and Missourians know that," said DSCC spokesman Matt Canter. "They have no ground to stand on. … There's a long history of misappropriation of taxpayer money that Claire has spent most of her career trying to eliminate."
The DSCC's involvement comes as the National Republican Senatorial Committee intensifies its calls for McCaskill to release more details about her plane trips and tax returns for dozens of limited-liability corporations that appear on her financial disclosure forms.

The Road Through Confirmation
We offer a foundational learning experience that prepares our students not only for their Confirmation day when they stand up in front of the church and confirm their faith in Jesus, but beyond. From Pre-K through 12th grade, we believe that all these years are an important part of our faith formation.
We are specifically calling the 6th-9th grade program The Road Through Confirmation, as our prayer is that Confirmation is not seen as a graduation or an end of a journey, but a milestone along their life long journey of faith. Our students, whether they are setting out for college, military service, entering into the work force or perhaps even as they begin a family of their own will experience a faith that sticks.
For more details on this progression, please review the following:
Ministry Overview
Ministry Plan for 6th – 9th Grade
For 2017/2018
Middle School Education (6th-8th Grade)
To register for Middle School Education, please click here!
6th Grade is a Foundational Year: In-between Concrete & Abstract Thinking
• Prayer: Practices
• Martin Luther & history of Lutheranism
• Small Catechism: Lord's Prayer, 10 Commandments, Apostle's Creed, & the Sacraments
• Bible Structure: plot overview, authors, how to use resources
• Lock In

• Deep Dive into Old & New Testament characters/books & how to read different books (history, poetry, prophets, letters)
• Faith, Life & Culture: Religions & Denominations, Death & Dying, Bible and Science
• Relationships – parents, friends, dating
• Jesus: daily life, miracles
7th and 8th grade students will attend a retreat at Camp Wapo to spend time in community playing games, doing Bible studies, exploring Wapo, doing group building activities, and more! The cost of this Road through Confirmation expectation is included in the registration fee for Wednesday night programming. As soon as you know what will work with your schedule, please get your child registered for one retreat only by clicking here!
Look for more information about the retreat, including the retreat theme, as we approach the retreat date.
Middle School Leaders Needed for Wednesday Evenings
We are in need of volunteers to be Small Group Leaders for our middle school Wednesday night classes this year! Parent/Student Orientation will be on Wednesday, September 13 at 6:00 p.m. for 6th grade students and 7:00 p.m. for 7th and 8th grade students (1 hour each), with classes beginning the following week. If enough volunteers are found, each small group will have approximately 8 students with 2 adult leaders. No experience in teaching is necessary — the lessons will be sent out ahead of time and are already prepared with Bible readings, discussion questions, and activities — all that is needed is the desire to build relationships with our youth. Whether you are definitely interested or just want to chat to find out more, contact Michael Carmack. Volunteers are the core of our middle school ministry!

I forgot to add on that last post that I'm doing an experiment 🙂
Last year I had gotten some heirloom seed potatoes from Ronniger. They were fingerling types, and 2 different varieties.
To my surprise, they set seed! Ever the curious one, I saved those seeds the same way I would save tomato seed and I am going to grow them this year to see what I get! Depending on who pollinated them they might just be duds but who knows, right? The potato seeds have also sprouted and so I think that will be a fun experiment for me to do this year, we'll see! I never had seen them before but according to my google searches this is a rare thing but it does happen occasionally.

Have you ever had one of those weeks where life just doesn't stand still? I have recently. I guess life never really does stand still but there were no lazy mornings or leisurely afternoons. No calm evenings or relaxing bedtimes to gloat about. Just a crazy, busy insanely demanding week where I was just one mom and mom life was officially kicking my butt.
Fighting a hoarse voice of my own, two trips to the urgent care with my daughters, my mother was in the ICU, work deadlines and of course the normal hectic evening routine with kids was just a tad bit of my days in December.
And during it all, in the midst of almost breaking down in tears, it occurred to me that these weeks are beginning to be the "new normal"!
By "new normal" I am not referring to the extreme life moments. Those are hopefully rare and far and few in between. I'm talking about the day to day with two kids under 5, a husband, a career, friends, and extended family, it feels like I am constantly being pulled in every direction.
The new normal is getting up early to make breakfast, make lunches and get myself semi dressed before the little ones wake up.
The new normal is that I strive to be present as a wife and best friend, even when I am too tired to think and sometimes, the new normal is that I work when I should be sleeping because it never seems like I can get enough done during the day.
The new normal is making plans for super fun girlfriend get-togethers, only to have to cancel because of a kid mini-crisis. (Hello, stomach bug.) That's never fun!
The new normal is moving from mother to friend to boss- from minute to minute. And not taking enough time for self.
As much as I enjoy being a mommy to my beautiful daughters, am madly in love with my husband and enjoy my career, the new normal leaves me aching for a moment of peace and serenity. Hello bubble baths anyone?

The Essential Characteristic of Beautiful Russian Women
If you ask a man who is into Russian dating why he is looking for a lady from Russia, his first answer would be – "because they are very beautiful". That is true. Russian women are very beautiful and charming. But is this the main feature one needs in a partner to build long-term and happy relationship or marriage? Well, you should marry a woman because you love her, not because she is pretty. Outer beauty fades in time, but beautiful attitudes will endure forever. And as the famous quote says: "You do not love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her".
If a man is looking for relationship with beautiful Russian women that will last and become stronger year by year, what qualities she must have? First of all, do not fall for image. Our search should depend less on the superficial features, and more on attitude, common interests and views, character and inner world.
What can Russian ladies offer to a man, besides their stunning beauty? First of all, these ladies are very intelligent and smart. What can be worse than spending your life with a woman who can not carry even a simple, decent conversation? Just a pretty doll with no brains is boring. Most of women in Russia have at least one university or college degree. They are knowledgeable in arts, music, literature, history and so on. Education has always been a great concern for Russians. And parents strive to give their children the best education possible no matter what.
Most of women here are very traditional and family-oriented. They believe that the biggest life goal for a woman is to become a caring, supportive wife and most loving mother. They are ready to sacrifice anything for the happiness of their families. It is not true that girls in Russian prefer to stay at home and raise children. In fact, they are very hard-working and can manage being a great spouse and mother and also be very successful at their jobs. They are equally happy being housewives or when they need to work to help their husbands to provide for their families.
Another big plus of Russian ladies is that "they know how to be women". The nature gave them a lot; most of them are very attractive and pretty naturally. And they know how to demonstrate their beauty. They have great sense of fashion, take good care of themselves; they are very self-confident and feminine. They can carry themselves very well and their men can be proud of them.
When you place a profile on matchmaking site, searching for single, beautiful Russian women, remember that you can meet not only girls who have the same intentions as you do, but also scammers who post fake profiles. Scammers invent new scenarios every day to get into your wallet. The number one rule is never send money to people you have never met in real life! Educate yourself and stay realistic. There are thousands of Russian girls looking for their soul mates. Stick with your dream and it will come true one day.

Two pike for 24lb 4oz seals victory on the Twenty Foot
With clear, bright skies, bites were hard to come by in the 2010 British Pike Championships, but one man who did manage to get among the fish was Tony Doolan who, after 23 years of trying, won the event with two pike for 24lb 4oz.
The less than ideal conditions made things difficult for the 200 anglers who converged on Whittlesey AA's waters to pit their wits against the Fenland pike.
In one of the closest results in recent years, there was just over 3lb separating the top two places ¬ taken by Tony and his fishing partner Kevin Roads.
Fishing from peg 102 on the Twenty Foot Drain, Tony got off to a flying start with a 10lb pike, and the Leicestershire-based butcher also caught a 10lb zander shortly afterwards, although this didn't count towards his overall weight.
It was his friend who led for the majority of the match, however. Casting a popped-up smelt towards the far margin, the 47-year-old Stratford landscape gardener netted a 21lb specimen in the first hour.
But with just over an hour remaining, Tony's roach deadbait was taken by a 14lb 4oz pike, which was enough to see him knock Kevin off the top and walk away with the prestigious trophy and £1,500.
"This is the 23rd year I've fished the event so I am delighted to have finally won," said the 63-year-old. "There was only one angler I wanted to beat, though, and that was Kevin," he joked.
If there was a prize for the most dedicated angler it would certainly have to of gone to Owen Finnemoore. The Didcot, Oxfordshire-based rod set off the night before the event, catching the train to London and then waited four hours for a train to Peterborough. Once there, he cycled seven miles to the venue and went on to catch a jack on a fly. "I've fished the event for years, and despite only having one small fish it was well worth all the travelling," he said.
Organisers Anne and Ted Rowe were impressed by how the anglers made the most of the difficult conditions. "I don't think anyone thought it was going to be easy with the bright weather. There were still plenty of good fish caught. I'd like to thank everyone who helped with the event, and Fox International for donating the raffle prizes," said Ted.
Angling Trust Chairman, Mark Lloyd, also enjoyed the day: "It was great to see so many anglers getting together and having a good time. The event has a really good social side to it, and I can't praise the organisers highly enough."
The ladies and juniors titles had to be decided by drawing names out of a hat after none of the competitors managed to catch.
The lucky female to have her named picked was Sharon Woolford from Witney, and in the juniors it was Fakenham-based schoolboy George Shipley (above) who was selected. They both received a selection of tackle from Fox International, presented by the Angling Trust's Mark Lloyd.
Result: 1 Tony Doolan, 24lb 4oz, Leicestershire; 2 Kevin Roads, 21lb, Stratford; 3 Nigel Howe, 19lb 4oz, Wotton; 4 Martin Earl, 18lb 10oz, Reading; 5 Steve Parker, 18lb 8oz, Reading; 6 Jon Gerrans, 17lb, Lincolnshire.
Junior: George Shipley, Fakenham.
Lady: Sharon Woolford, Witney.

Religion In America Essay Research Paper Religion
Religion In America Essay, Research Paper
Religion in the United States is considered a way of life to many people. Whether you go to a church, synagogue, or mosque, they are all a form of religious expression. As a person one is entitled to worship whatever or whomever they believe in and that cannot be taken away from that person by anyone.
Religion is supposed to be belief in one s worshipped being on a daily basis without question from others but now it has been turned into something much more then just worship. It has now become a competition of which religion is right and which is wrong.
This is becoming a very big issue in the United States simply because as a Nation we feel that we cannot interact with other people simply because of their religion. There are a few exceptions of course but as a nation we simply will not interact with people that believe in something different than what we believe in. The reason for this childish behavior is because we become frightened by the mere thought of interacting with someone that has different religious views than you.
This applies to many other things in every day life, such as racial views though religion is very big issue as well. There are people of course that will interact with people that are from a different religion but as a whole nation the chances are slim-to-nil as to us getting together and interacting with other religions aside from business deals and things of that sort.
If there were a poll taken that would measure statistically how many people of Islamic belief communicate on a daily basis with people of Judaic belief on more then just business conversation or just a mere Hello every day while walking by each other there is with out a shadow of a doubt that statistically the results would be very slim. As a Jew this boggles the mind. When thought of, one can ponder about this issue for days and not reach a conclusion as to how this issue can be resolved.
Regardless to how we want to live life the world is not a perfect place where our viewpoints count for much. People need to understand that life should be taken for what it is, and not what it can be. Although this is a sad reality it is still a reality, which should be taken very seriously.
Religion is something beautiful in its own right and we as a people should work with that to better ourselves as people. One can very well bring up the point of easier said then done but it does not have to be that way if we all just work together to better ourselves. If we could set aside our religious differences and learn to leave them aside we would be able to communicate and have relationships with our fellow Americans. We would also be able to realize the true meaning of religion and accept it for what it really is-an expression of your belief\'s and not competition to see who can have the strongest connection with whomever we believe in.
If we could accomplish this, than as a nation we would be religiously unified and would be able to accomplish great things for our now united nation.

What a week for Yuri fans!
Yuri Anime
Whatever the new Sailor Moon brings us, we'll always have the original Sailor Moon anime…which Viz has just licensed! For the first time, we'll be getting all 200 episodes/ 5 seasons of the original anime (so all you Starlights fans will finally get your darlings!) all the movies (of which 2 aren't bad) an at last, the Super S Specials will get an official release here in the US, so you'll all get to experience Michiru saying "A world without Haruka is not a world worth saving." ^_^ The new release will have new subtitles and dub, so no more cousins. ^_^
Yuri Manga
The English-language edition of Sasamekikoto, Whispered Words, hit the shelves this week, with the first omnibus volume containing Volumes 1-3 of the Japanese edition. Volume 2, which is slated for an autumn 2014 release, is already up for pre-order.
If the cover of Manga no Tsukurikata, Volume 8 (まんがの作り方) is not lying (and I am betting it is), a thing might happen. … Nah…
I love the cover design for Takemiya Jin's game, which hits shelves today. Totally unlike her previous works.
Other News
Speaking of Sailor Moon, S.H. Figuarts has released the Sailors Uranus and Neptune figurine prototypes.
All-female musical theater troupe Takarazuka has apparently been pretty successful with their game and anime cross-overs and are planning a version of Monkey Punch's epic Lupin III.
On a much more serious note, the Tokyo Metropolitan government has flexed its legal muscled and demanded the removal of a manga from Amazon's Kindle platform. Here's your slippery slope…regardless of your feelings about the content, we have to support its right to exist. This is exactly what freedom of expression must mean, now and forever.
On the business side, Kadokawa and Dwango, the company that operates NicoNico Douga, are merging operations. IF anything could be said to be an anime media domination move, this is pretty much it.
Filing this under "When you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice" Nintendo dropped the ball when they announced that their new sim-style game Tomodachi Life would not include same-sex relationships. They didn't mean to make a statement, they said, but ended up making a statement by not doing so. Ultimately they apologized. They can't change the game that is shipping now, but the option will be considered for the next build.
One of my favorite "5th column" manga magazines, Manga Erotics F (home of Aoi Hana) is closing up shop this summer for good. I'll hope that they will transition the content style to a new home for wtf manga and stories that fit nowhere in particular.
That's a wrap for this week! Become a Yuri Network Correspondent by sending me any Yuri-related news you find. Emails go to anilesbocon01 at hotmail dot com. Not to the comments here, please, or they might be forgotten or missed. There's a reason for this madness. This way I know you are a real human, not Anonymous (which I do not encourage – stand by your words with your name!) and I can send you a YNN correspondent's badge. Thanks to all of you – you make this a great Yuri Network!

|Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
|Published by LucasArts | Developed by BioWare
|Why We Picked It:
It seems like there is a new Star Wars game released every week. Just today we received Episode III, and LEGO Star Wars is still hot off the presses. The idea of a Star Wars RPG seemed like a no-brainer, but like any product based in this universe, the expectations were huge.
KOTOR established the morality scale that will probably turn up in other RPGs for years to come. The combat had a turn based element, but it still felt like gamers were taking on the role of an incredibly powerful Jedi. It also put a huge emphasis on story. Setting the game thousands of years before the movies gave the writers liberties that made an old property feel fresh. Oh, and who can forget the plot twist that left gamers slack jawed with amazement. Even with its slightly dated visuals, many Xbox fans still feel that this is the best RPG to appear on the system.
|Released: 07/15/03
|Jade Empire
|Published by Microsoft | Developed by BioWare
|Why We Picked It:
When BioWare decided to jettison the Knights series it seemed like an odd move. The ideas behind the new IP were certainly interesting. Who wouldn't want to hop into the lead role of a wuxia film? What we weren't prepared for was the completely revamped combat system and beautiful visual style that put BioWare's previous work to shame. Instead of the turn based, action hybrid of KOTOR it presented true action, contact based combat.
The story is fantastic, with engaging character development and three moral pathways that make playing through the game more than once a must. Jade Empire is such a well composed game that it will cause you to reconsider what elements a classic RPG should posses.

"To be a better tackling football team, we've got to understand about time and space, playing in space, keeping our bodies under control, keeping the proper leverage and pad level, staying on the near hip, all the little things that lead you to that moment of making the tackle. It's body position, knee bend, acceleration of your hips, bringing our feet. You can see how many little things lead up to that moment of making that tackle."

In Susan Glaspell's play, Trifles, what differences between men and women does this play imply?
- print Print
- list Cite
The differences implied between men and women in Susan Glaspell's play, Trifles, is that the male-dominated society has no concept of the hardships, trials and hard work that surrounds the life of a woman—and wife—at the beginning of the 20th Century. In that men very much still treated their wives as chattel, or a possession, they gave the women little credit for the work they accomplished, for the disappointments they faced, the ability of men to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse their wives, and their lack of concern for, and respect of, women in general.
As the play begins, the men enter the house to find evidence to convict Mrs. Wright of murdering her husband. This woman whose life centers around things the men consider "trifling," has dared to harm (and kill) her social superior. The men intend to prove Mrs. Wright's guilt and punish her.
SHERIFF. Well, can you beat the woman! Held for murder and worryin' about her preserves.
COUNTY ATTORNEY. I guess before we're through she may have something more serious than preserves to worry about.
The women enter, influenced at first by the attitudes of the men. They don't know Mrs. Wright very well, but it is a charitable act they are doing to bring things to Mrs. Wright while she is in jail. As the men blatantly show their disregard for this woman and her hard work, they also show their disregard for Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters—in fact, for all women. As the ladies learn more and more about Mrs. Wright's situation, they become sympathetic towards the woman accused of killing her husband. Mrs. Wright's life has changed dramatically since her youth. Mrs. Hale remembers:
She--come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself--real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and--fluttery. How--she--did--change.
Whereas the men could never put themselves in the place of a woman—they discredit most of the efforts put forth by women on a daily basis by insulting Mrs. Wright—Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters can empathize. Mrs. Peters remembers a bully who killed her kitten before her eyes—she admits she could have "hurt" the bully at that moment.
MRS. PETERS. (in a whisper). When I was a girl--my kitten--there was a boy took a hatchet, and before my eyes--and before I could get there--(Covers her face an instant.) If they hadn't held me back, I would have-- (Catches herself, looks upstairs, where steps are heard, falters weakly.)--hurt him.
Mrs. Wright's bird was destroyed at the hands of another bully: her husband.
Mrs. Peters recalls how hard it was for her, to lose her child at a very young age.
MRS. HALE (her own feeling not interrupted.) If there'd been years and years of nothing, then a bird to sing to you, it would be awful--still, after the bird was still.
MRS. PETERS (something within her speaking). I know what stillness is. When we homesteaded in Dakota, and my first baby died--after he was two years old, and me with no other then--
Mrs. Wright has no children, no companionship at all, and this is another kind of pain women face.
The play shows the enormous divide that exists between men and women of the day, especially in the way that the men belittle the daily existence of the wife, and society's acceptance of this inequitable social roles and standings in the early 20th Century.
