One of the limitations of the 5 Question interview format, is that it doesn't allow for a lot of give and take. You have to try to cover as much ground as you can in only five attempts. It's a challenge that I welcome, but it inevitably leaves me with regret. Sometimes the answers just end up raising more questions. Such was the case with the Ron English chat we had back in March. He mentioned working with Chris Brown on a toy project. The release of said toy has caused some controversy, and even led some of his artistic peers to cry "sell out" and "hypocrite".
Look...Ron English didn't have to talk about this with me, or anyone for that matter. But he has, and I can't help but respect him for it. Here's how it went:
1) Back in March, you mentioned collaborating with Chris Brown. Now, even Rihanna has recently worked with him, but somehow I'm more surprised that you did. Tara McPherson (who you gave a shout-out to in the same blog) has been frequently tweeting her disappointment. Frank Kozik has joined in as well. Did you have any reservations about working with someone who has come to exemplify domestic violence?
Ron: When I was young I might have stolen a car or something like that but I was allowed a second chance and I believe I took advantage of that and my life since then has been pretty positive.Had I continued that behavior I would not have expected continued forgiveness nor would I be so forgiving of anyone who continued such antisocial behavior. I do intend to start tweeting this week, as much as I loath the inconvenience. I can't let Frank have the last word. (my tag is ronenglishart)
2) Since we last talked, Thomas Kinkade and Leroy Neiman have passed away. Both of whom made vast sums of money by mass-marketing their "brand" of "art". Do you think it's possible for an artist to be hugely successful and still retain a modicum of integrity...or is success the art?
Ron: Thomas Kinkade painted what people wanted to see; I paint what I want people to see. Both approaches have their own integrity, or if you prefer, lack of integrity. I'm put off by people who judge art by its price tag and also by those who equate poverty with integrity.
3) You've been sued by Disney, King Features, and KISS. Yet you've NEVER lost a lawsuit?! Who is your lawyer?
Ron: I think I have a great lawyer, but he's doesn't have to be great because his client hasn't broken any copyright laws.
4) What was the last billboard you did? And are the billboard companies still unwilling to sell you space?
Ron: I did one in London over the weekend but they built the billboard for me at the London Pleasure Gardens and I painted it, no billboard company was involved. My obsession with billboards has dissipated to some extent.
5) Are you Banksy?
Ron: I thought you were Banksy!
Thanks Ron. I hope I didn't put you off with the questions . I'm pretty sure I'm destined to a life of poverty, but I know that doesn't mean I have integrity.
Ron: Having art sell for a lot of money or not at all does not affect the quality of the art whatsoever. That's all I was saying. I'd rather be poor with my own sense of integrity than a rich prostitute.
'Nuff said!
'Nuff said!

Wind Works 4 Long Island
A Hub for Long Island Offshore Wind News
January 25, 2017: (Uniondale, Long Island, NY)
The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) voted on January 25, 2017 to formally approve the development of New York's first ever, and the nation's largest, offshore wind farm, located off the east end of Long Island. The approved 90-megawatt, 15-turbine offshore wind farm will produce enough energy to power over 50,000 homes. LIPA cited that offshore wind was the most cost effective proposal to meet Long Island's South Fork energy needs.
Last week, in his bold State of the State announcement, Governor Cuomo committed to building 2,400 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind power by 2030 – enough to power 1.25 million homes. The Administration will also release a master plan by the end of the year, mapping out the state's intention to build offshore wind to scale, which is essential in ensuring the Governor meets his goal to power 50 percent of New York's energy from renewables by 2030. The Governor also pledged his support for New York's first, and the nation's largest, offshore wind project off the east end of Long Island.
Local, state and national organizations hailed this project as an essential first step towards a bold, long-term, large scale offshore wind program for New York. Building off of LIPA's historic vote today, groups also urged the LIPA Board of Directors to commit to an additional investment of at least 210 more megawatts of offshore wind in the upcoming Island Wide procurement. The decision, which is expected to happen in March of 2017, will help ensure Long Island becomes a regional hub for a new, clean energy industry, spurring thousands of jobs and economic development opportunities throughout the state.
"This is a big step for LIPA, a bold step for renewable energy on Long Island, and the beginning of an offshore wind industry in the State of New York and the country," said Gordian Raacke, Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island. "We commend Governor Cuomo and LIPA for showing visionary leadership in the transition to renewable energy and thank all who have advocated for offshore wind energy over the last couple of decades."

The majority of Long Islanders supports an offshore wind farm proposed for 30 miles east of Montauk Point.
Deepwater One
Deepwater Wind, a developer of offshore wind farms, has submitted a proposal to LIPA for Deepwater ONE, an offshore wind farm to be located about 30 miles east of Montauk Point of Long Island. The project will not be visible from Long Island. Deepwater is in the process of building a much smaller offshore wind farm off Rhode Island and it hopes that this and the Deepwater ONE project for Long Island will help jumpstart the offshore wind industry in the United States.
Powering Long Island's East End. Deepwater ONE would provide a much-needed source of new and clean energy for the East End of Long Island. With 35 of the largest and latest-technology offshore wind turbines, Deepwater ONE would produce enough power for 120,000 households on Long Island.
Offshore wind is a clean energy source that will improve air quality on Long Island. Deepwater ONE can displace the emission of many tons of carbon into the atmosphere every year, for decades. And all transmission cables will be buried deep below existing roadways and shoreline features – no overhead cables or new utility poles required.
Cost-Effective, Clean Energy. Deepwater ONE's power will be cost-competitive with other sources of power. Importantly, Deepwater ONE will produce most of its energy during peak usage periods late in the day.
Who owns the Site? Deepwater Wind won the nation's first auction for an offshore wind lease from the U.S. Department of the Interior. In total, the project site is roughly 250 square miles.
When? Deepwater ONE construction could begin in 2017, with the project in-service in 2018.
New Jobs and Investment. Deepwater ONE will create several hundred new jobs on Long Island, including work for engineers, tradesmen and women, and the gamut of jobs necessary to build and maintain a major project like this one.

Deepwater One Press Release:
Deepwater Wind Proposes Powering Long Island's East End With Renewable Energy From Offshore Wind Farm
Wind Farm Will Not Be Visible from Long Island
March 26, 2014 – In response to the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA)'s request for new sources of renewable energy, Deepwater Wind is proposing supplying Long Island with more than 200 megawatts of renewable energy from Deepwater ONE – an offshore wind farm located approximately 30 miles east of Montauk, New York. At this distance, the wind farm will be "over the horizon," and not visible from any point on Long Island.

Indian rationalist under attack for exposing Catholic Church "miracle" !
From vineet.in
Sanal Edamaruku, the founder president Rationalist International and the president of the Indian Rationalist Association, is under attack by the Catholic church leaders for exposing a "miracle". According to the email I received, he will be arrested soon for blasphemy as an array of cases has been filed against him in Mumbai, India. The email is reproduced below.
Sanal Edamaruku under attack for exposing Catholic "miracle" !
As he exposed the "miracle" of the drippling Jesus in Mumbai, revengeful Catholic Church leaders vowed to harass Sanal Edamaruku with an array of blasphemy cases. The harassment has started. Sanal can be arrested any moment.
"It is nothing new that the Catholic bishops try to sentence their opponents to the stake when they run out of arguments. Giordano Bruno's is a case in point. But try as they may, they cannot stop me to stand for reason, science and historic facts. And I am not alone. Freedom of expression is under attack and we are going to defend it!" - Sanal Edamaruku
Exposing the "miracle"
On 10th March, Sanal Edamaruku flew to Mumbai. The TV channel TV-9 had invited him to investigate a "miracle" that caused local excitement. He went with the TV team to Irla in Vile Parle to inspect the crucifix standing there in front of the Church of Our Lady of Velankanni. This crucifix had become the centre of attraction for an ever growing crowd of believers coming from far and wide. The news of the miracle spread like wild fire. For some days, there were little droplets of water trickling from Jesus' feet. Hundreds of people came every day to pray and collect some of the "holy water" in bottles and vessels. Irla was about to become a pilgrimage centre.
But Sanal Edamaruku spoilt this prospect. Within minutes, he clearly identified the source of the water (a drainage near a washing room) and the mechanism how it reached Jesus feet (capillary action). The local church leaders, present during his investigation, were far from pleased. See the investigation in detail on YouTube.
TV debate with the Bishop
Some hours later, in a live program on TV-9, Sanal explained his findings and accused the Catholic Church of miracle mongering, as they were beating the big drum for the drippling Jesus statue with aggressive PR measures and by distributing photographs certifying the "miracle". A heated debate began, in which the five church people, among them Fr. Augustine Palett, the priest of Our Lady of Velankanni church, and representatives of the Association of Concerned Catholics (AOCC) demanded that Sanal apologize. But he powerfully argued against them. Via telephone, Msgr. Agnelo Gracias, auxiliary bishop of Mumbai, intervened in order to rescue the image of the Catholic Church. He claimed the Church was "always cautious in attributing supernatural causes" to such phenomena and always striving "to find 'scientific' explanations." He even assured the Pope was a friend of science. Sanal countered elegantly, referring to the case of Giordano Bruno. He also discussed the Vatican's official process of canonization in which "miracles", certified by a Vatican commission, are obligatory for every saint. Since there are more than 10,000 Catholic saints, the Vatican surely qualifies for "miracle mongering". And the allegedly so science-loving Pope allows exorcism in the Vatican itself. According to recent press reports, he even personally lent a hand to cast out the devil from the body of a Swiss Guard man. In this highly interesting debate, Sanal triumphed over his shouting opponents. The whole TV program is recorded. You can watch an abridged version of it on YouTube.
Threat live on TV
When they saw their hopes dashed to force Sanal to his knees and apologize, they publicly threatened to file a blasphemy case against him. Sanal pointed out that this would give him an excellent opportunity to support all his statements with evidence in a court of law, with the bishop of Mumbai in the witness box. Foaming with rage, the church people vowed to harass him by filing an array of cases against him in all Mumbai police stations. They did.
Sanal can be arrested any moment
We know of three petitions on the base of Article 295, Indian Penal Code that have been filed against Sanal.
Meantime, Mumbai police announced that they were out to arrest him.
Sanal can be arrested any moment. In every single place where a petition is filed against him. He could be forced to appear in person to answer them. If his answer is not found satisfactory, he could be arrested. He could be forced to fight a multitude of criminal cases in different places. This is not only immensely time and money consuming. Given the fanaticism of some Catholic believers, it can be a danger for his life.
Sanal Edamaruku Defence Committee
Rationalist International has formed a Sanal Edamaruku Defence Committe. The convener is Supreme Court lawyer and Human Rights activist Mr. N.D.Pancholi.
If you wish to support Sanal Edamaruku now, you can do it in two ways.
- Spread the videos and the information about the cases where ever you can.
- Support the Defence Fund with a donation. [Click here]

MT. HERMON � Burlington Christian Academy coach Brian Dehart told his team what to expect against Cummings High School.
Problem was, BCA knew what was coming and still couldn�t stop it from the Cavaliers � a bitter team playing a little more than 48 hours after its first loss of the season.
Cummings blitzed BCA from the opening tip and never trailed Monday night, winning 77-57 in the nightcap of the Tony Perrou Classic at Southern Alamance.
�Oh yea,� said Cummings� Tevin Smith when asked if the Cavaliers were angry going into the game. �We had to get the chip off our shoulder. This was like a rivalry game.�
Smith scored 14 points for Cummings (12-1) and Dedric Bowman led the Cavaliers with 17 points. Each combined to run the offense at point guard, with each dictating pace.
Cummings coach Chas Criss said his team came out with much more focus than had been the case in Saturday�s loss to Eastern Alamance.
�That (Eastern Alamance) game, I think it still bothers them a little bit,� Criss said. �The way we played, not the fact that you lost but how you lost, just no energy, no focus and let them dictate terms. I thought we did a much better job (Monday night).�
The improved focus showed from the beginning, when the Cavaliers used runs of 9-0 and 11-3 in the first half to take a 40-26 halftime lead, boosted into the locker room by Bowman�s buzzer-beating 3.
In the second half, Cummings expanded its lead to as many as 24 and never led by less than 11.
�We just came out and wanted to play hard for this game,� Bowman said. �It was a big game. We just wanted to come out here and get a win.�
Dehart said he knew Cummings would apply pressure on the defensive end and play its normally physical style.
�What I love about them is you know what they�re going to do, it�s just if you can hang on when they do it,� Dehart said. �They did it, and it worked (Monday night). That�s a good ballclub.
�We came out stagnant. I warned them that (Cummings�) physicality was going to play into the game. They came out very physical and we didn�t respond.�
Josh Folwell and Jamison Jeffers each scored 15 points to lead BCA (9-5), while Andrew Carden added 11 points.
But it was Jeffers � a standout at Cummings before transferring to BCA during the summer � who was limited to three points in the first half and struggled to find an offensive rhythm.
�They really honestly took us out of our offense. In the spurts that we played in our offense, statistically I think we�re in it,� Dehart said. �When we start trying to play ourselves, or our game and show what we can do. � BCA is a team. We have to have five guys in double digits to win.�
Cummings was also helped by 13 points from Quae Pinnix and 10 points from Josh Murray, who had six blocked shots. All three of Murray�s field goals were thunderous two-handed dunks.
But it was Pinnix who was instrumental early, scoring six points in the first quarter and setting a tone on the inside.
�Last couple games, we haven�t got Quae involved like we wanted to,� Criss said. �We wanted to try to get it to him early. Usually, he�s an energy kid for us. Always plays hard, the ball seems to find him. So we tried to get him going early.�

What We Do
The Center for Women and Families provides trauma-informed advocacy and support for individuals, families and communities affected by intimate partner violence and sexual assault. We mitigate the impact of trauma by building resiliency and reducing risk factors at all levels. We are guided by a strong grassroots feminist history, and a commitment to social and economic justice. We co-create violence free lives, families, and communities.
Supportive Services
The Center assists all qualified individuals and their dependents, regardless of race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, religion, age, disability, immigration status, or language proficiency, by providing the following supportive services:
- Crisis Response: The Center operates a crisis phone line for immediate safety planning and assistance 24 hours/day, 365 days/year.
- Emergency Shelter: The Center has two shelters—one each in Kentucky and Indiana—where individuals and their children can reside in a safe and secure place while receiving assistance to rebuild their lives and move into permanent housing.
- Sexual Assault Services: The Center provides 24-hour on-site advocacy at area hospitals to victims of sexual assault. We also have a specially equipped room at our JET campus where individuals who have been sexually assaulted and do not have other medical issues may choose to undergo a sexual assault forensic exam instead of going to a hospital emergency room. Our environment offers them the timely attention, care, privacy and support that are often sacrificed in a busy emergency room.
- Advocacy and Support: The Center works with clients to address immediate and long-term emotional, physical and mental effects of the abuse they have experienced. Through case management, counseling, therapy, support, and psycho-educational groups, economic success activities, and immigrant services, The Center's advocates help clients reduce their risk factors, cultivate resiliency factors, and become engaged with their communities to lead empowered lives. CWF advocates also provide legal advocacy, which includes accompanying clients to court when they are pursuing protective orders.
- Housing: The Center maintains transitional housing units for families that lack safe long-term housing options after moving from emergency shelter. CWF also supports clients in finding permanent housing and providing financial and case management assistance through our rapid rehousing programs.
- Children's Services: The Center provides direct services and assistance to children who have been victimized by exposure to intimate partner violence, including safety planning and psycho-educational groups for children five years and older, tutoring and academic support, and activities to help them develop positive social interaction skills, build their self-esteem, and establish healthy relationships with caring adults. Advocates also work with parents to help them understand how exposure to violence can affect their children's emotional, intellectual and social development, and to help them develop positive parenting skills.
Community Education
The Center leads several primary prevention projects that engage individuals in acting affirmatively to create safe communities. Our work includes the following projects:
- PACT in Action: This is The Center's dating violence prevention initiative that focuses on working with teens in high-risk neighborhoods in Louisville: Park Hill, Algonquin, and California. PACT In Action seeks to reduce dating violence through training, increasing teen engagement with positive role models, reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors in the community.
- Green Dot: This is an evidence-based active bystander intervention program that The Center uses to teach individuals how to identify potential incidents of violence and how to safely and effectively intervene
- Own It: This is The Center's prevention initiative to engage men and boys in helping to end gender-based violence.
- Awareness Activities: Each year, The Center provides community education and training to more than 10,000 people. Through community education, The Center strives to build awareness about its services, dispel common myths, increase public knowledge, enhance professional skills and provide a framework for prevention.
- Professional Training: The Center's Prevention Education Team trains professionals (e.g., attorneys, physicians, police, and educators) to recognize violence where it occurs in their communities and to become "active bystanders" thereby reducing violence and preventing its reoccurrence.
Cooperative Partnerships
The Center works closely with organizations in order to provide comprehensive care for all victims of intimate partner violence and sexual assault throughout the community. With key, strategic partnerships, The Center provides the vital support our clients need by engaging community partners in a systemic prevention framework to reduce risk factors, increase protective factors and mitigate the effects of trauma. Significant collaborations include the following:
- Community Shield: Reducing the Impact of Violence on Children: The Center is a core and founding partner of Community Shield and contributes leadership to this city-wide network of 40 agencies concerned with how exposure to violence places children at risk. Each agency involved delivers different services and focuses on different types of violence, but all share a common concern. Through the Community Shield, we coordinate services, increase collaboration, eliminate duplication, and accelerate community problem-solving.
- The Lethality Assessment Program: The Center collaborates with the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) to reduce the number of intimate partner violence-related homicides in Louisville. LMPD Officers who respond to domestic violence calls administer a lethality screen to determine victims' risk of being killed by their abusers. Victims who "screen in" are immediately connected to our counselors for shelter and safety planning services.
- Other Collaborative Partners: The Healing Place, JADAC, Family & Children's Place, Home of the Innocents, Catholic Charities, Legal Aid, La Casita, Family Scholar House, Kentucky Humane Society, the University of Louisville, Kentucky One Health, TARC, Volunteers of America, Coalition for the Homeless and Goodwill.

I promised you photos and here they are. We have started work on 2 rooms at once, the master bedroom and a small box room that we use for all our computers (when you are married to a computer geek you need a whole room for them)
Here is our bedroom before we started work on it. We had very dark red walls on all 4 sides, blond parquet flooring and an imposing wardrobe... egh! I love the red on the walls, but there was too much of it.
So we stripped off the remaining wallpaper, pulled up the parquet flooring and carpet that was underneath it. We primed the walls and then plastered the lot. Plastering is so messy but the result looks great. We also boxed in the pipes for the radiator. In Holland they just leave the pipes showing in this kind of house, but being British I can't stand them so they had to be hidden away.
We painted 3 of the walls in a beautiful cream and one wall is back to being red again. I love a little drama in the bedroom ;) It will look less overpowering when it is broken up with furniture and things on the wall.
I hope you enjoyed a the little tour around our home, more photos for you soon.

Wayan Mawa, 62, is a horse-drawn cart operator at Badung traditional market in Denpasar
I feel proud that by working as a cabman I can support my family, even though I'm a grandfather.Â
Every day I wake up at 3am, have a cup of coffee and go get my horse from a field close to my house. I give the horse grass to eat and give it a wash. That takes about 30 minutes, after which I attach the horse to the cart and go to the market. It takes just over 10 minutes to get to the market using the horse-drawn cart from my house on Jl. Gatot Subroto.
At Badung market there are now only three or four carts operating. I have to be very patient waiting for passengers because most people already have a car or motorcycle, and I also have to compete with the other cabman.
I can't force anyone to use my cart, because it causes problems; the cabmen all have to respect each other's livelihoods. In one day I usually get three or four passengers, if I'm lucky. The route I take is only on the streets surrounding the market, such as Jl. Satriya or Jl. Nangka.
If there are no passengers to be found, I usually leave the market about 8am, first taking the horse back to the field. I often have to spend almost three hours cutting and collecting grass for the horse; so I don't actually get home until 10 or 11am.
There isn't much I can do at home, except have some coffee and take care of my grandchildren. Sometimes I feel proud of myself that by working as a cabman I can support my family, even though now I'm a grandfather.
If I still have energy, at 4 pm I take the horse and cart out again. The afternoon goes much the same as the morning, fetching the horse and heading for the market. A few years ago I often worked until 12pm, because there were so many passengers, but now there are only ever fares until 8 or 9pm.
At night back at home, I mostly spend time with my children, grandchildren and of course my wife. We talk until we get sleepy. I have been doing this job for many years, but as long as I still have the power, I will carry on doing it.

The Marbella Azul team
Just a few words to let you know something about us – Roz, Derek and our faithful puppy Brian.
Roz´s family bought a holiday home in Marbella in the late 1970s and that is when her love affair with Marbella began. Over the next two decades, she was a regular visitor and she watched Marbella evolve from a small town into a luxury brand. During this period, there were a huge number of improvements to the infrastructure of Marbella – the beautiful paseo, parks with tropical plants and flowers, fountains, statues and much, much more.
Our first visit to Marbella as a couple was Christmas 1997 – and that´s when I fell in love with Marbella too. Over the next few years, we visited Marbella twice yearly, usually in May and September – still our favourite months.
In 2003, we decided to leave the UK and make Marbella our permanent home. We have lived in the centre of Marbella for the last 15 years. and we have never once regretted our decision to move here. Of course, the great weather helps. We love the beautiful blue sky, the wonderful light and sun all year round. It´s good for the soul.
For 10 years, we took time out – trying to learn the language and enjoying the festivals, celebrations and traditions of our new home. But, we were constantly being asked the same three questions by friends, residents and visitors. Where are the best places to visit? How do we find out what´s going on in Marbella? Why do we always hear about things after they have happened?
They were right! It wasn´t easy to find out what was going on in Marbella. So, we decided to change all that. In October 2013, we decided to set up a website to provide information about Marbella. And, in January 2014, we launched MarbellaAzul.com with the byline "Everything you need to know about Marbella".
Our aim is to make it the pre-eminent Marbella information website. And we would very much appreciate any help you can offer to help us achieve this goal.
Derek, Roz & Brian

A MrRingo (SBR rating C) player has filed a sportsbook complaint.
\r\n\r\n
The player deposited on January 21 and quickly thereafter verified his account so that he would have no problems when ordering a withdrawal.
\r\n\r\n
He has been waiting for a period of exactly one month for a €1,785 withdrawal through eWallet, and paid 3% for the withdrawal. After reading different complaints online from players, the player became concerned and decided to file a sportsbook complaint as he hasn't received any new information from MrRingo on when he should expect to receive his funds.
\r\n\r\n
MrRingo was added to the online sportsbooks rating guide January 30 of this year. The sports betting and casino site operates under Star World Limited in Malta and holds a current license issued by the Malta Gaming Authority in May of 2015. MrRingo's license number is MGA/CL1/1020/2014.
\r\n\r\n
Sportsbook Review has followed up with MrRingo regarding the player's complaint and will update as more information is learned.

Every so often I like wandering the cyber highways and byways to find religion reporting that's off the beaten track -- especially out here in the West.
One state that intrigues me is isolated North Dakota, which has more religion stories than one might think.
There's the Baptist-turned-Catholic Bethlehem Community in Bathgate. There's Becky Fischer, the Pentecostal trailblazer for children's ministry best known to the outside world for her role in the 2006 film "Jesus Camp." Her ministry is still going strong in Mandan.
Or there's Lutheran Social Services in Fargo, which is resettling refugees in this sparsely populated state even though the locals aren't happy about it. This story just broke in InForum, a Fargo newspaper also known as The Forum along with another story that explains how new arrivals from Somalia and Bhutan aren't exactly fitting in with the local culture.
Well, this post isn't about that topic, fascinating as it is.
It's about a columnist for InForum, a freelancer who has taken it on herself to report on faith in Fargo. North Dakota is a state of mostly small newspapers and no fulltime religion reporter (listed with the Religion Newswriters Association, that is). What caught my eye was a simple advance for an upcoming visit to town by Bible teacher Beth Moore:
FARGO -- When Beth Moore was growing up in Arkadelphia, Ark., her father, who owned the local cinema, required his children to help out in the family business.
It was her job to hand out samples of popcorn and soda. And sometimes, she would "slip into the movie and take with her a pickle bag full of popcorn and a Dixie cup of Coke," her website notes.
"There in a theater chair, wide-eyed and filled to the brim with Coca-Cola, Beth began a lifelong love for stories," the introduction continues. "She loved to tell them, write them and be told them."
The story that ultimately captivated her, however, was one about a savior named Jesus who, she discovered, loves her madly.
Lots has been written about Beth Moore but I rarely see something this graceful.
Writing a piece on a visiting speaker is one of the more boring tasks a reporter must do, so it's unusual when a writer actually puts time and care into such a story. I began looking up this writer's byline -- Roxane B. Salonen -- and found quite a motherlode.
Let me stress that some of her pieces, like the one about a campus minister killed by a stranger who came to his door asking for a glass of water read more like opinion columns.
Others, like the second part of this recent two-part series on a local order of contemplative nuns, are straight forward news features:
WAHPETON, N.D. -- It's been called the "Ground Zero of prayer," the "spiritual nexus of the diocese," says the Rev. Peter Anderl.
But Anderl, who regularly hears the confessions of the eight religious sisters who inhabit the cloister at the Carmel of Mary Monastery here, has another designation for the nuns themselves.
"If you think about people as cars, (the sisters) are like Maseratis," he says. "When they're running well, look out world, because they're going 180 miles an hour versus 30 on the gravel road."
I learned that this reporter/writer is, according to Twitter, a "Catholic wife and mother of five, writer/author, cantor, prairie dweller, coffee drinker, book lover." Judging from her writing, she got some journalism training somewhere and she shows more understanding of the beat than many full-time folks I've encountered.
One quality that makes for greatness in religion stories is when the writer can express the quality of a person's spirituality, not just basic autobiographical facts.
Salonen seems to capture the essence of many of her interviewees in good quotes that surely took time and work to get. I'm glad whoever edits InForum managed to talk this mother of five into doing some writing and reporting for them. Maybe when her children are grown she can go full-time. The newspaper would surely be the richer for it.

Breaking ones arm throws the whole body out of kilter. Took 24 hours for the nerve block to wear off and when it did I felt like someone was smacking my elbow with a metal pole. It feckin' hurt. Managed to just about keep on top of the pain with well timed OTC meds on a schedule suggested by one of my friends, who happens to be an A&E consultant.
As the days went by my legs told me they were bored, I was like a caged tiger. Struggling to do most things I praised myself for being able to tie shoe laces which spelled freedom. Off I went. I spent many an hour walking my normal run routes. Took twice as long to achieve the same distance but it was lovely to be outside again.
Running was off the menu as I felt like 'old lady on ice', it was slippery underfoot due to fallen leaves and rain. At the age of 51 I have not yet slipped over on wet leaves, but the mind seems to put you into a position of being vulnerable and self preservation. I needed more than walking.
I found a gym, had walked up to view a couple which had swimming pools. Bit the bullet and joined David Lloyd in Stevenage. Not the cheapest or the closest but the atmosphere felt good.
Add gym equipment and swim to the fit-list.
I'd had 2 events scheduled for November, Stevenage HM and Hatfield 5. Thankfully I was able to transfer both places to friends of mine. I went along to cheer – nice to be 'on that side' for once and give a bit back.

This is not my post as such, but rather a amusing collection of haiku from my esteemed colleagues, inspired and by PTR. I may have contributed a haiku or two.
I thought it a shame if a home not found for it.
If you can't say it
In seventeen syllables
It's not worth saying
Some might call that
Incredibly elitist
If not ridiculous
I still don't know why
Everything is in haiku
But I'm entertained
Son is cranky cos
Her PhD thesis was
Much much much longer
i sure am tempted
to ruin this fancy thread
but haiku is fun!!!
I really struggle
To communicate like this
And I have to stop myself from cramming too much into the last line
Ha ha ha ha ha
Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho
Hee hee hee hee hoo
Peter, it's cheating
To use one syllable words
For the whole damn thing
If writing haikus,
makes you fail all your exams,
don't complain to me.
Can't promise I won't
Recite poetry out loud
During the exam
MCQ is not
ideal to display prowess
at haiku po-ums
Good point, Jason … but …
We should use this skill somewhere.
How about OSCE?
I concur for i
think breaking bad news in a
haiku form is best
An irishman is stopped by paramiltary as he's about to enter Northern Ireland
The military draws a circle on the ground and tells him " Right if you can stay in that circle, we won't kill you"
They leave him and proceed to torch his car.
Turning they see him pissing himself laughing "What's so fucking funny?"
Giggling he replies " I was jumping in and out of the circle the whole time"
Some of our palliative patients are like that. As long as they think they're in control and sticking it to the man as it were, they're happy. Even when everything is going wrong.
Good on 'em
12am, Hospital in the middle of buttfuck nowhere
Code 2 – Chest Pain, shortness of breath
Sotto voce
'Hey doc, do you think you can get me some of dem cock stand pills?'
needless to say there was no chest pain, and only a mild exacerbation of asthma.
More picatures!
Well, because my colleagues are all into it here, here and here I shall do the same. That and its just about the only interesting thing thats happened for a while, other than being pantsed in the FOSCE's and adding a notch or 2 to my belt.
1/ Elective in Swaziland doing surgical sort of things! Lions and zebras and things!
2/ Elective somewhere. eek. hopefully africa doing something trauma surgerery.
3/ holiday! 6 glorious weeks trundling through morocco & southern europe i think.
4/ ED. essential skillz
5/ General surgery. Funsies!
6/ General medicine. because i should probably know something about medicine
7/ paediatrics. 'cause kids are cuuute. even if they are sick and snotty.
8/ Rural surgery in the tuna capital of australia. Tasty and fun!
so lots of things to look forward to.and at least i'll know if surgery is for me. i probably should have put in something else. oh well
In medicine, things are not all roses and puppy dogs. Some things smell like evil incarnate
so here is my list of worst smells in medicine, please add yours in the comments!
1. Grapefruit sized fungating penis lesion (HPV, ? penile cancer in a refugee in a detention centre, not attended to for >6months)
2. Decompression of a bowel with ?colon cancer and 11 day history of constipation. Its a lotta poop
3. Trichomonas vaginal infection. Its frothy and green and all round nasty
4. Giant exploded sebaceous cysts. It pays not to pop them.
5. Open thoracostomy with mutliresistant psuedomonas. Sweet, fruity, rotten.
6. Malaena. Partially digested blood AND poop. mmmm
Med Reg explaining an AV fistula for a renal patient
"So you have veins which are tubes which carry blood from your heart all the way to your fingers and they gradually get smaller like branches on a tree. Then you have arteries which are small tubes that carry blood back to your… oh dear"
'Ok, you need to be not here'
And that was the first and last I saw of my reg for that rotation.

F. Gary Gray is in negotiations to helm Sony's spinoff of the property, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The film will follow new characters, rather than Agents K and J, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the original films. The approach is described as being akin to Universal's 2015 film Jurassic World, which revived the Jurassic Park franchise not as a straight reboot, but did bring on new characters that somewhat acknowledged what came before.
Iron Man writers Matt Holloway and Art Marcum have written a script.
The first Men in Black film (1997) made $589 million at the global box office and led to two sequels with Jones and Smith — one in 2002 and one a decade later in 2012. The entire franchise has made more than $1.5 billion globally.
Gray is coming off a huge hit with last year's Fate of the Furious, which earned $1.2 billion worldwide. His 2015 film Straight Outta Compton was a commercial and critical hit.
Producers include Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, with Steven Spielberg executive producing. David Beaubaire is overseeing for Sony.
Gray is repped by United Talent Agency, Principato-Young Entertainment, and Del, Shaw, Moonves, Tanaka, Finkelstein & Lezcano.
The spinoff is slated to launch June 14, 2019.

Tom Collins – Biomechanical Engineering
Tom Collins works with peope with walking problems, using his engineering skills to help understand the exact nature of their difficulty.
He works at Queen Mary's Hospital Roehampton, which was set up as a specialist centre for the fitting of artificial limbs after the First World War. It no longer treats servicemen but Roehampton still specialises in work with the rehabilitation of amputees. Most of Tom's working day is spent in the Gait Laboratory, a big room which appears empty but actually has a range of high tech equipment, such as infrared cameras which digitise the movement of limbs as people walk through it. It's the same technique that was used to make Gollum so lifelike in the Lord of the Rings films. Tom records and then analyses this data, which is used to monitor peoples' progress or inform treatment options. "It is intellectually stretching to try and work out what's wrong and it also requires a great deal of rapport with patients, especially with children who often need encouragement to walk in a straight line."
Tom's degree is in engineering but he didn't want to work on big engineering projects. A tutor suggested engineering in healthcare, which offered many challenges, with lots of involvement with people and the potential to be able to help them, so he joined the clinical scientist training scheme organised by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine.
He is involved in research, tracking the progress of amputees as they go through the rehab service at Roehampton, and also some treatment as well. Functional Electrical Stimulation uses carefully placed pads on the skin to deliver brief electrical stimulation to muscles. It's an effective treatment for people who have 'dropped foot' after stroke or injury which prevents them walking properly. "It can make a very big difference" says Tom. "Biomedical engineering has turned out to be a fascinating career with many options for development in the future".

At Radiance Calgary we cannot express enough how important a hair extension consultation is when considering any form of hair extensions as an option for your hair. Even if you have previously worn hair extensions for years or had a bad experience in the past hair extension techniques and application processes are ever evolving and changing. This is why it is very important to book a detailed consultation with our extension artists. What might have been perfect for you before might not be the case now. Plus, if you are new to extensions knowing all of your current options is imperative.
Most potential clients are always interested in two main things.
1. Which method is best for me?
At Radiance we do many methods and not every method is right for every single person. Describing your hair to the artist over the phone or through email does not really help. The reason for this is because although you may feel you are accurately describing your hair length, density of your hair and how long you would like your extensions, this may not be the case. A licensed and trained artist will never tell you what is right for you over a telephone conversation. The artist has to assess the density of your hair per square inch, measure how long you would like your hair extensions to be and to be able to guide you with careful education to determine which method is best for you and why.
2. How much will it cost?
Budget can be a very serious consideration for many clients. Although we have many types and methods of extensions to suit any budget it is highly impossible to give a quote over the telephone. Establishing a quote cannot really be estimated without a consultation allowing for a face to face meeting. Many artists are quite reluctant to provide prices over the phone primarily because it is incredibly difficult to determine exactly what the client requires until they are physically seen by our extension artist. The largest things that will affect how much hair extensions will cost is the following;
- Method – Different methods require different amounts of time and labor which can determine the cost.
Quality of hair selected – There are literally hundreds of brands of hair extensions and just as many different qualities. With Hair extensions you get what you pay for.
- Quantity of hair used – The amount of hair that is used to create your desired look can greatly affect the cost.
- Length of hair desired – The reality is the longer the hair is the more expensive it gets
- Ongoing Maintenance Costs – Different methods have different maintenance costs associated with them. Therefore a consultation helps determine if you can budget the ongoing maintenance costs.
What should you expect during a consultation?
A Consultation should be complimentary. This is an opportunity for you to get to know the hair extension artist and for us to get to know you. Our hair extension artists will be listening to you and taking your consultation seriously. During a consultation, we will be asking you numerous questions to help you decide what is best for you. You should feel very confident in our extension artists and know that we will be able to answer all of your questions thoroughly.
Once we have decided together which method is right for you based on your hair type, your desired expectations and length then the artist will give you a timeline of how long they will take to install and what you can expect for ongoing maintenance. Once all of this has been established we will perfectly colour match your extensions to your hair.
Lastly, and most importantly we never want you to feel any pressure. Getting hair extensions is a very personal decision, a big one that could end up being habit forming for years to come! After we present you with all information we encourage you to take all the time you require to make a decision or if you wish we can book your appointment for your brand new extensions!

You are here: Manchester Confidential › Entertainment & Sport › Events & Listings.
You know how it is. You have a couple of drinks, you need the loo. The first toilet trip of the evening normally comes a couple of hours into it, but then once the seal is broken you're up and down to the loo more often than, erm, someone who needs to wee a lot, but not as often as you.
Constant toilet trips on a night out are annoying enough. But imagine having to fight your way through a crowded pub to the toilet in a wheelchair. Now imagine getting to the toilet with a bladder like a water balloon, only to discover that there is no accessible toilet. Unbelievable as it may sound, this is the way of things in many pubs and clubs all over Manchester.
In fact, over half of our city's pubs and clubs do not have an accessible toilet, which means that many of the North West's 400,000 disabled people won't be able to spend a penny after a drink on a night out.
"So why are you telling me all this?" You might ask. "What can I do about it?" Good question, I'm glad you asked. Well, Scope North West is holding a Big Night Out in April to find out just how accessible a night out is for disabled people in the region.
On Friday 28th April Scope will be holding a Big Night Out Treasure Hunt to call time on disablism. The night will start at 7pm in the Rovers Return, and teams will be challenged to survey as many pubs and leisure venues in Manchester City Centre in an allotted time while gathering treasure. The prize for the winning team will be an exclusive Coronation Street experience.
Scope are encouraging teams of four to raise money by getting sponsored for various challenges such as doing the treasure hunt in fancy dress, to support Scope North West's work in the region.
Following the treasure hunt there will be a Big Night Out After Party for everyone involved, supported by Cains Brewery.

It's been known for some time that folic acid prevents birth defects, but researchers from the University of Nebraska Medical Center have completed research that helps to explain exactly how this occurs.
Building on previous research that identified a special receptor (folate-binding protein or Folbp1) that helps to bring folic acid into the cell, researchers genetically engineered mice that lacked Folbpl. In addition, they also genetically engineered a group of mice that lacked another receptor for folic acid, Folbp2.
The mice embryos without Folbp2 developed normally, but the mice embryos without Folph1 died while still in the uterus. When pregnant Folph1-deficient mice were given large amounts of folic acid, their offspring developed normally--despite being genetically programmed to lack the folate receptor. It seems that high doses of folic acid somehow overrode the genetic defects that caused the developing mice embryos to perish.
At present, researchers believe that the corresponding genetic defect in women is also somehow "corrected" by large infusions of folic acid. The present daily folic acid recommendation for pregnant women is 1000 micrograms (mcg), which is equal to one milligram. For everyone else, the recommended dose is 400 mcg every day.
The most severe birth defects associated with folic acid deficiency involve the neural tube. The neural tube is the embryonic precursor to the brain and the spinal cord. Since the neural tube develops so early in pregnancy, the damage can be done before a woman even realizes that she is pregnant. However, this can easily be avoided if every woman of childbearing age takes folic acid on a daily basis.
In addition to neural tube defects, folic acid deficiency has been linked to other birth defects as well, including cleft palate and cleft lip.

Ginger Chicken Meatball Soup
- Prep: 20 mins
- Cook: 20 mins
- 1pound ground chicken
- 1cup plain panko breadcrumbs
- 2cloves garlic, divided – 1 minced, 1 peeled and smashed
- 1medium shallot, peeled and sliced
- 1tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- fresh ginger, divided – 2 teaspoons freshly grated and one 1-inch piece, sliced
- 8 scallions – white and green part, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
- 1tablespoon fish sauce, divided
- 1tablespoon lemongrass, white part only – minced
- 1tablespoon fresh cilantro – roughly chopped
- 5cups low sodium chicken broth, divided
- 1cup water
- 1 thai chili – sliced (optional)
- 2tablespoons Miso (red or white)
- 2tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2heads baby bok choy, quartered into wedges (can substitute 1 regular head)
- 1/4teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- In a large bowl combine the chicken, panko, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, half the scallions, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, lemon grass, cilantro and 2 tablespoons of broth. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to gently mix, just until combined. Use your hands to scoop out about a tablespoon and form mixture into (1''-diameter) meatballs. Transfer to a plate or clean work surface lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all meatballs are formed.
- In a medium pot over medium heat, combine remaining broth, water, Thai chili, smashed garlic, shallot, sliced ginger, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and remaining scallions. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove solids and discard. In a small bowl combine miso with 2 tablespoons of the broth and whisk to combine. Add the miso mixture to the pot of broth. Stir to combine.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add meatballs to skillet (in batches if necessary to not overcrowd the pan) and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and transfer to a clean plate.
- Add the bok choy and crushed red pepper flakes to the broth. Simmer until bok choy is almost tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the meatballs and bring broth back to a simmer. Simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 5-8 minutes. Taste broth and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve garnished with scallions and crushed red pepper flakes.

Social Tagging & Search
I've become a big fan of Yahoo! My Web because I like to easily access my favorite websites from any computer. So I no longer store bookmarks on my local browser, but instead I tag my favorite URLs with relevant keywords using Yahoo My Web and retrieve them whenever I want by performing a search on keyword tags I have used. In most cases, I keep these tagged sites private, but occasionally I share some of them with all the other My Web users.
For a while, Yahoo has been touting this "social tagging" as a means of presenting better targeted results to its end users. Not to be left behind, Google recently launched its own variant of social search, Google Co-op, which relies on tagging in the form of an XML or TSV file. And now both Google and Yahoo have started incorporating certain social results into their search results or providing an option to search within social results. There are also a number of niche social search sites such as del.icio.us, digg, and Looksmart's Furl. All rely on tagging and sharing URLs with a community of users.
With the advent and growth of social tagging and social search, search marketers should evaluate these for opportunities to effectively market their products and services.
There are a number of benefits that can be gained from social tagging and from performing searches for content on social search engines:
- It's useful for storing your bookmarks and sharing them with others
- It's easier to search through your tags for relevant sites than through a browser's bookmarks
- It's theoretically better at identifying relevant sites as a result of a large community of topic-knowledgeable users tagging them
- It's theoretically more accurate at ranking sites for visibility by relevance, as sites with high value to end users will be tagged more often
- It's often able to restrict searches to a user's own tagged content, as many social search engines offer a personalized search component
Social search engines need to overcome the following challenges before they become a major part of searcher behavior:
- There is still very little end user adoption. Very few people currently know about social search engines
- Search results within social search engines are based on URLs tagged by a minority of users, so may not reflect relevancy to the majority of users
- It is difficult to find enough tags for all topics
- Keyword tags many not accurately describe the content of the tagged page
- It's easier to manipulate the search results for keywords with a very limited number of URLs tagged
- Most tagged pages are high level pages, leaving interior pages, which are often more relevant, untagged and unavailable
Implications for search marketers
The future of social search depends a great deal on how fast the general searching public adopts it. It may never totally replace algorithmic search. However, it could be a great supplement to both organic and paid search, providing yet another set of criteria for establishing relevance for end users to consider.
Search marketers should strive to get their sites to rank in top 30 search results for their most important keywords on Google, Yahoo, msn and AOL, as most sites that get tagged are initially found by their "taggers" on these four major search engines. You can also create "bookmark buttons" on your key pages. Most of the major social tagging sites provide webmasters and search marketers with the code to do this. Similarly, you can tag your content with most relevant keywords and submit it to Google Co-op.
Before you invest your resources in social search, ensure that your site is already performing well in major search engines. Pay attention to these engines and how they are incorporating social results into their regular results as this has more implications on your visibility than how you perform in low traffic social search engines.

About This Site
I am fat.
Though this is a term loaded with meaning, expectations, perceptions, denotations, connotation, representations, imagery, criticism, and commendation, I intend it as an observation. It is statement bogged down by history, psychology, culture, biology, sociology, economics, and geography. It pervades our cultural media more than we realize. It pervades our minds more than we realize. ("Wow, look at how fat she's gotten!"; "Woo, boy, look at that fine fat ass!"; "I am so fat!"; "Look at my little man, he's gotten so fat! Look at those chubby cheeks!"; "I don't know if I'd date a fat guy….")
I have more fat than the average woman. I am just bigger. My clothes size is bigger. My bras size is bigger. My jewelry size is bigger. My shoe size is bigger. Heck, my towels are bigger! It's just a fact of life and accept it for what it is. It's a part of me, as much as the fact that my eyes are green and my hair is wavy.
What puts meaning into my fatness is other people. Some may think of it as repulsive, or something to use as an insult against me. Others may value it and view it as a part of my beauty. I would estimate that it is more likely to be seen as a negative than a positive in our contemporary culture – a no-brainer to most of you. As my 10th grade English teacher and mentor, Evelyn Sideri of East Meadow High School, once put it, "[Being hateful to fat people] is the last acceptable prejudice," – and I agree with her. But there is a growing faction of people who support fat people in their efforts to break down stereotypes, discrimination, and boundaries that society has imposed upon them. They are part of a somewhat underground campaign known as the Fat Acceptance Movement, as well as a a sub-category of the campaign known as the Fat Feminism Movement. Out of these has emerged a very new and very controversial academic field known as Fat Studies, which parallels Black Studies, Latin Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and other similar academic fields in how previously under-respected social groups have gained enough significance within our culture to warrant attention from the academic community.
I intend to explore these campaigns and this area of study, as well as how culture and media represent fat people within our society. There will be negative things, but positive ones as well. It seems as though the work of the activists, particularly the Fat Feminists in the 1980s, has made a noticeable impact on how our culture views fat people. Personally, I have noticed quite a change in the past five-to-ten years in how now more widespread the positive image of fat (more popularly deemed "curvaceous" or "full-figured") women has become. From the recent growth in the number and popularity of stylish plus-size clothing brands (no more muu-muus and oversize tees for us!) to the ever more ubiquitous appearances of "Love Your Fat Self!"-style self-esteem booster books and chick-lit novels. I think a lot of this has to do with the growth of the usability of the Internet in the last ten years, which has allowed for non-tech-savvy people to create online communities with people like themselves. In other words, fat women are meeting other fat women from all over the world, and through social computing, they are commiserating, sharing ideas, boosting their confidences, and they are creating and spreading the gospel. Of course, this is a major topic that needs a full post, and so I will elaborate on this at a later time.
The point is, to misquote The Color Purple's Celie, "I'm big, fat, I may even be unattractive, but dear God I'm here, I'm here!"

I am English and to put it basically fat! the more someone tells me i cannot do something the desire burns in me all the hotter…i have been bungee jumping, shark diving, and have a private pilots licence all at the weight i am at now….have confidence and believe in yourself and people will treat you no different. my Mum is an English size 6 basically annorexic and i am almost ten sizes bigger than her…but she doesn't pressure me to loose weight because i am active and passionate with a thirst for life…there is NO reason why someone should be dicsriminated against…especially for weight…and i am saddened and slightly angry that some people suffer this.
I'm Trinidadian and well I was pretty fat when I was like 10 and stuff but I went through a rapid growth spurt that spread the fat around a bit more. but I'm still pretty chubby 🙂
I'm 13 and many of my classmates worry about their weight, go on diets and say things like "omg, I'm so fat eww I can't look at that picture!" and I say "What You're not fat, you're normal sized, and what's so wrong with being fat?" and they're like "You liar!!! etc. etc. etc…" It's sad, really, well I love this Blog thing cause it's really fun to see smart people on the internet, you are good person 🙂
I'm sorry, but I can't find an email address on the site for you, so I'm leaving this here. Feel free to delete this. 🙂
Hi there –
I wanted to let you know, in hopes that you might let your audience know, that I've recently launched a new project that I'm very excited about!
The new project is called "The Fat Experience Project." and you can view it here:
The goal of the Fat Experience Project is to map the global experience of fat in a way that is human, has a face, a heart, a mind, a body and a voice. The Fat Experience Project is an oral, visual and written history project which seeks to be a humanizing force in body image activism. By collecting and sharing the many and varied stories of individuals of size, the Fat Experience Project seeks to engage with, educate, empower and enrich the lives of people of size, our allies and the world at large.
As the project grows, it will be filled with first-person, non-fiction narratives (in text, video or mp3 format) that speak to the many and varied aspects of the life lived large. Some of the content will come from interviews already gathered on an extensive 2-month road trip (with the lovely Val Garrison) in both audio and video format. Some content will come from trips on the horizon. Most content will be submitted via the website by readers such as yourself.
It is my hope that the project will be a community tool to combat prejudice/stereotype/discrimination as well as to help externalize shame so it can discussed and dissipated. The things we keep silent about are the things that do us the most harm. Shared burden is lighter. I am hoping, as well, that the project may eventually be used as a humanizing resource for fat studies and social anthropology courses.
I am writing to ask for your help in both the promotion of and the participation in this project. It is my fondest hope that, ultimately, with time and resources, this project will grow beyond a specific and exclusive fat focus and move toward addressing the many intersections of shame.
In the meantime, I would love your help in the form of passing this along to your readers/mailing lists/friends/family/anyone you feel may benefit from hearing about this project.
I also welcome comments, constructive criticism and volunteers.
Thanks for your time and energy!
Big BIG love,
Stacy Bias
I'm in high school, and I'm not the social type. I get picked on often by the plastics, and obviously, its not hard to imagine what they use. But you know what? I don't give a flying fuck. I'm fat, so sue me. I want to lose some weight, yes, if only for health reasons. But I'm NOT ashamed of being fat.
You make me feel better about myself.
I just came across this site while doing some researching for my own blog and site that I am currently working on and I LOVE IT!! It looks like it has been a while since you have posted but I would LOVE to see you posting again soon! I would love it you would take some time to read my blog (fatchicksoftheworldunite.blogspot.com) and let me know what you think.
modifying the site because someone says someone you find offensive is ridiculous. unless it's clearly hateful or degrading, people should be allowed to express their opinions otherwise without you imposing the so-called 'rules of blogging' on them, MARI. who appointed you the blogway monitor??
go on, request that my comment be deleted, i dare you
Thought you might be interested in a series that I write… thanks for your work, its'a awesome!
Wot they said. You're gorgeous.
'nuff said.
If you're ever in my neck of the woods, the martini's are on me. And rumour has it I make a mean martini.
Every day i look at myself in the mirror and i want to cry because my medications made me gain weight like crazy. i even stopped taking a few for my blood disorder because they caused horrible stretch marks cuz of the rapid weight gain. I hide in t-shirts and baggy jeans with my hair in my face. i don't allow people to take pictures of me and stay away from cameras that will show my whole body. I got used to being this way and began to feel ok. no diet pills worked and all the exercize in the world didn't matter cuz the medication keeps it there. I always wanted to be an actress but when I go places and see the sizes of clothes and how I'm considered a plus size…i want to cry all the way home. I feel like people point and laugh at me (when i know they don't). I have one of the most amazing personalities in the world but i feel that no one else besides my boyfriend will ever think i'm pretty. I'm hopeless.
I'm crying while i write this. It's so great to read a website like this. I for once feel good about myself. I'm a borderline plus size and can't find ANY clothing that fits right and it's just such a heartache to feel alone. now i can obviously see that I'm not. this wont cure my obsession with my weight and my lack of self esteme, but maybe, just maybe, you can help me begin to feel like a worthy human being again.
I enjoy your comments. After struggling with eating disorders for years, it is nice to realize that it is okay to be a happy and ATTRACTIVE woman who is not a waif! Thank you, good luck to you 😉
Why can't I respond to any one person on this site?
I'm so glad I found this site! My gf is a size 20 and the most beautiful woman I've ever known. I tell her every day that she's beautiful and wonderful and special to me, and I'm amazed that our society has so conditioned women to think that if they're not a size 2 they can't be beautiful. Thank you for this site!
wow, great blog, will be returning for much further reading to gain more info on this subject. Thanks – keep up the great work!


text: Media is dead and we have killed itThe IT Girl July 17, 2011|Written By Sarah Dale-Harris So the title might be a bit dramatic, but I'm sure it got your attention if only because you completely disagree. The fact is, the "media" by way of which we record and transmit data has evolved so much since the days of radio, vinyl, and floppy disks, it isn't just going to be a challenge to get rid of all of the piles of albums, tapes, and CDs you have stored in your basement, it could be a challenge to recover the data you stored on these media. While this might not be a problem for most of us, it could be a serious issue if you need to recover a file to, say, support the validity of a patent. Let me digress a bit. Whether or not you agree that "the medium is the message" or that Marshall McLuhan (who would have celebrated his centenary birthday this year) was "the oracle of the modern age," and whether or not he could have possibly envisioned social media Facebook-style or cloud computing or where such modern constructs would have taken us, we are indeed fully immersed in a digital media age that I think we can agree will undoubtedly have consequences yet to be fully experienced or even imagined.Take the cassette deck. They have been phased out of cars and the CD player in your car is certain to become extinct in fairly short order to be replaced by the more modern MP3 player, which means that if you don't want to listen to the radio or pay for customized satellite radio, you'll have to lay out the cash one way or another to equip yourself with the latest technology in order to listen to music in your car. And what about the tapes you use to back up your files — assuming you back up your files, of course. As shredders and office fires have proven, paper files have their limitations, but have you considered that the media upon which you are storing your client date might be fallible, too? Data storage and recovery is a very big deal, and if you consider that storage media degrade over time and will inevitably become extinct as "better" products are developed, you could be in serious trouble if the single file you need for litigation purposes 10 years down the road is stored on a digital audio tape (DAT) with thousands of other files. Does this mean you (or your trusty IT support person) need to run out and acquire the means to recover your files, just in case? The answer is no — although, if you do have data stored on stringy floppy discs (circa 1970), good luck locating anything to help you out today, let alone in 10 years. For larger organizations, maintaining the currency of data storage media may not be such a big issue, but for the average business, it isn't only expensive to keep up to date, it isn't likely to be top of mind until there is a crisis. Whether you are maintaining evidentiary support related to an invention or patent files, it is incumbent upon businesses, regardless of their field or size, to maintain sufficient records and retain data in a secure, recoverable way.I work almost entirely without paper now, which, I confess, is something I thought I would never do. Great for the environment perhaps, but as I work away on my laptop archiving e-mails en masse because my mailbox has exceeded its limit on a weekly basis and corresponding in real-time via "Office Communicator" instant messaging about contracts that I'm on the phone negotiating and editing concurrently, it all seems a bit much at times.Something is absolutely lost when meetings are entirely virtual and you're working from a contract on your laptop as opposed to in print. McLuhan was spot on when he opined about our electronic culture which has indeed created an immediacy that has irrevocably changed our sense of time to the point where the distance between events is gone and past, present, and future are blended together. Maybe media (whatever its form) isn't dead, but I think I can safely say we are killing it.

A la classic Chanel, I'm totally all about quilted leather (or faux/vegan leather) pieces this fall. You can stick to the classic quilted purse, or go for a twist with a quilted leather jacket. If you find a quilted skirt, let me know-- I'm on the prowl!
Which Raise gift card to buy: Lord & Taylor
I know I've already talked about how much I love cheetah print accessories, but I can't help myself: this mix of classy and classic prints warms my fashionista heart. I'd stick with stripes in black, white, gray, or navy, but you can feel free to rock stripes however you'd like.
Which Raise gift card to buy: an Options gift card for stores like Gap and Old Navy
Duh: knits are always an autumn essential. Step up your game for 2014 by going with oversize knitwear. My favorite is knits made with really thick yarn-- it makes the piece even bigger.
This summer, I was all about statement necklaces. This fall, however, I'm taking my jewelry obsession just a bit north with statement earrings. I love wearing these earrings with braids of any kind-- french braids, cornrows, or a simple side braid.
Leather (or faux/vegan leather) truly makes any outfit stand out in a crowd. For days when you want to be a little more subtle with your sense of style, go with just a touch of leather as a lining on whatever piece you're wearing. I'm personally totally all about pieces that mix wool and leather this fall.
Which Raise gift card to buy: Zara

Jaguar has finally formalized and confirmed the release in 2016 Jaguar XE model for next year. The confirmation came in September and is marked as the British answer to the BMW 3 Series car was also published this year. It is hoped that some good things that come from Jaguar as a fleet of cars, while production of Jaguar prepares to enter the competition in a big way. The interesting thing about this vehicle is the new use of weight reduction technology that is issued by Jaguar. Acute, they are known to produce light vehicles using aluminum materials for more than a decade, but this is the first time introduced this particular type of hardware design that was first used for the C-X17 concept SUV. The end result is a car that looks great with some features cut fat made in all the right places. The goal of the Jaguar model for this year is to do a little light and fuel-efficient vehicles that are both powerful and sporty. The 2016 Jaguar XE is dubbed as the solution for this kind of premise and will feature on sale at dealers worldwide at the end of the year, while the US release comes a little later. Prices are already established and they know everything about her want to just read the complete review and study the features available on the car.
Exterior and Interior
Talking the exterior design of the 2016 Jaguar XE sports sedan is a car very similar. In fact, this is something that is expected since the vehicle is made to compete with the BMW Car Series 3 with a long short hood, rear roof line and cut and, inspired by the car XF, the car offers some of design specifications that seem very appropriate that will be greatly appreciated. Profile lines are a little soft, but the overall look of the sedan has some deeply sculpted lines. The front of the car has a large grille and narrow headlights also adds a barrage of prominent air, which is perhaps only function will be 2016 Jaguar XE trim. The back also takes borrowed significantly from the version of XF as the rear lights and bumpers are distinguished by being part of the vehicle design. The back also has some more elegant lines that athletes and the entire vehicle receives a better drag coefficient, set at 0.26, which is entirely due to the design of the new brand. You can get the car with 17-inch wheels, but can also use 18-inch or 20-inch option. Best of 2016 Jaguar XE is its aluminum structure is inspired by inspired aerospace technology. Lightweight aluminum 6000 series, which makes about 75 percent of the monocoque, represents a significant weight loss with the car Jaguar XE 2016.
The interior of the 2016 Jaguar XE is quite clean and has the luxury when competing against the best vehicles in the segment. The interior is mainly oriented towards the driver and is most obvious when you look at the center console of the car. The car is sporty look much but it makes for an elegant interior with wood veneers, aluminum and piano black inserts and finishes. You can get the 2016 Jaguar XE with a selection of new entertainment systems both brands, tactile and InControl Touch Pro. The above includes the eight-inch touch screen and is compatible with Bluetooth audio streaming and Bluetooth connectivity, while the latter comes with a more advanced configuration that adds quad-core processor and solid state drive at high-speed . You control the system via a 10.2-inch touch screen that has different and customizable widgets that are used to control everything.
There are five options proposed under the hood of the 2016 Jaguar XE. The first 2.0 Diesel 163, 180 and the optional 2.0 diesel, 2.0 petrol 200 2.0 Gasoline 240 and finally 340 3.0 Gasoline one. The lowest gasoline engine can produce 197 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque, which superiors can reach 237 horsepower and 250 lb-ft. Regarding the lowest diesel specification can reduce 160 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, while the rate may move to 177 horsepower while torque is set at 317 foot-pounds. Moving is made using the automatic ZF eight-speed, while the European engine can use a manual gearbox six speeds. The car can also be equipped to use the AWD system if necessary.
Release and Price
2016 Jaguar XE vehicles confirmed this September and the expected release date will be available later in 2016 / hope that the exact date will be announced in mid-year and the car will be available for sale since. Prices have already been announced so the adjustment 25t is priced at $ 34,900, the 20d is given a price of $ 36,400 while the most expensive is the 35t with a base MSRP of $ 41.700.

This was our first time bringing watercraft into a wedding. The original plans for the wedding involved having the ceremony on the dock, however the crazy Oklahoma rains and the flooding lakes killed that plan. The ceremony was still beautiful and afterwards we jumped on the sail boat for a quick photo/video session. The only regret we have is not having a drone available for aerial shots of the boat.
If you are planning an epic Getaway from your ceremony we would love to be there to shoot it for you.

Alayna's 6 month checkup
This morning I took Alayna for her six month appointment (even though she's already closer to 7 months than to 6 months).
She did great.
She smiled and cooed and played while we waited.
She tried to roll off the exam table when the Dr. was examining her.
She showed us how great her lungs work when she got her shots (all FOUR of them... ouch).
She quickly calmed down once her shots were over and she had her binky and a snuggle with mama.
She weighed in at 15 lbs. 4 oz (39th percentile)
She measured 26.5 inches long (85th percentile)
A tall skinny baby.... wonder where she gets that from? :)
Perhaps the same place my son gets his height from.... being that he's as tall as most three year olds.
For those of you who don't know my husband, he's 6'4".
Our kids probably don't get their height from me.
After we got home I snapped a few pictures of my little sweetie pie.
She's been sticking her tongue out lately and we think it's hilarious, she looks so funny.
I love how you can see my reflection in her eyes... kinda cool.
