Speed Read: Wyoming nixes two bills
WYOMING DEFEATS TWO MARRIAGE BILLS: The Wyoming House rejected two marriage-related bills Thursday. One, introduced by openly gay State Rep. Cathy Connolly (D-Laramie), sought to allow same-sex couples to marry. That was defeated 17 to 41. The second, introduced by Rep. Gerald Gay (R-Natrona), sought to ensure the state would not recognize the marriage licenses of same-sex couples who married in other states. That was defeated 29 to 31.
INDIANA SENATE SLOWS BAN DOWN: The Indiana Senate on Thursday voted to agree to a ban on same-sex marriage that was approved by the House—a ban that does not include civil unions or domestic partnerships. The vote means that the proposed constitutional amendment must go through the legislature once again, next session, and cannot reach the ballot before 2016. Evan Wolfson, head of the national Freedom to Marry group, called the vote a "welcome step back from the brink." Megan Robertson, head of Freedom Indiana, said her group "continues to oppose the amendment in any form, but make no mistake: This is a huge victory." Had the senate approved the same bill the legislature approved last year –with the civil union/domestic partnership language intact—the House would likely have gone along and the measure would have been before voters this November.
MISSOURI GOV SAYS DROP BAN: Missouri's Democratic Governor Jay Nixon said Thursday he would like to see voters repeal the state's ban on same-sex couples marrying. Nixon was appearing before an event sponsored by the state press association. "My personal belief is that we shouldn't treat folks differently because of who they are and who they love. If folks want to get married, they should be able to get married," said Nixon, according to the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch.
WENDY DAVIS SUPPORTS MARRIAGE EQUALITY: It's hard to say how much it will help or hurt her chances for election, but Texas' Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis told the editorial board of the San Antonio News-Express Thursday that she supports the right of same-sex couples to marry. Her likely Republican opponent, the current attorney general, is defending the state's ban against three lawsuits in federal court. Davis hedged a little when asked if she would push to repeal the state's existing definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. Davis said, "I would certainly open up that conversation with the legislature."
TEXAS JUDGE HEARS MARRIAGE CASE: U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia heard two hours of arguments Wednesday in lawsuits brought by two same-sex couples. Orlando (a Clinton nominee) gave no indication of how soon he will rule on the constitutionality of Texas' ban on same-sex marriage, but he said the ultimate decision would not be made by him but by "five people" –an obvious reference to a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court. There are at least 38 lawsuits in 24 states challenging state bans on same-sex couples marrying.
BILLIE JEAN MAY BE BACK: Openly gay former Olympic medalist Brian Boitano told MSNBC Wednesday that tennis legend Billie Jean King may be able to join the presidential delegation to the closing ceremony. King was slated to join Boitano at the opening ceremony, but her mother was gravely ill and she withdrew from the trip. King's mother died February 7, on the day of the opening ceremony. She was 91.

The Theology of Hugh of St. Victor
Full Product Description
In the context of the early twelfth-century urbanization of Paris, Hugh of St Victor developed a pioneering program of intellectual and moral practices focused on reforming the soul. Boyd Taylor Coolman identifies the signature theme of spiritual re-formation as the unifying motif to Hugh's theology and analyzes the symbolic and aesthetic dimensions of re-formation conceived as 'soul-construction', in the manner of Gothic cathedrals being built at the time. This study places Hugh of St Victor within the context of the profound economic, political and cultural changes characteristic of the twelfth century. Drawing on the majority of Hugh's writings, it reveals links between various aspects of his theology - exegesis and spirituality; theology and cultivation of virtue - and highlights the practical nature of his reforming program, aimed both at restoring the beauty of the soul and re-forming the human person into a dwelling place for the presence of God.
The Theology of Hugh of St. Victor by Boyd Taylor Coolman was published by Cambridge University Press in May 2013. The ISBN for The Theology of Hugh of St. Victor is 9781107612259.

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or any of the characters. I am merely borrowing them for this story.
I apologise for the late update, I have had a lot going on with my great-nans passing and Funeral. I have finally had time to write this.
Tali got Ziva and Gibbs together, but she's never actually spent time with him. She drops in for a visit. Mentions Kill Ari
Tali's POV
There's a boat in his basement. My sister is dating her boss, who is old enough to be her father, a functional mute, had been married 4 times divorced 3 and has a boat in his basement. I should have never stopped that elevator and the soulnapped Zivi. They walked down the stairs hand in hand. It was cute and gross all at the same time. They were laughing; it was a genuine laugh, not a fake one which I was used to seeing. I might talk to this Gibbs. I made it cold in the basement, yes I can actually do that, and Ziva went to get a jacket.
Gibbs POV
After Ziva left to go get a jumper, a teenage girl who looked like her appeared in front of me. I recognised her from the photos in Ziva's apartment. It was her little sister Tali.
"Shalom, Gibbs." She said in her Israeli accent.
"Hello Tali. What brings you here?" She smirked, they have the same smirk.
"You know who I am. Not many people do."
"She's only mentioned you once. She started crying."
Tali's POV
He said that with a sad and pained tone. Like he was the one who was remembering a lost one.
"I am here to thank you. Zivi has been sad since I died, more so after she killed Ari. Since she's been seeing you, she's been smiling. One of those ones which reaches her eyes. I haven't seen one of those in a while."
"I only want her to be as happy as she makes me."
"That is really cheesy you know." Gibbs chuckled "What?"
"How do you get those right when your sister can't?"
"I am superior to her in every way."
"Are not." Ziva shouted down the stairs.
"Am to." She came down the stairs with an amused grin.
"Are not Tali, I could still kick your butt any day."
"Ziva, you could not as your foot would go straight through my butt. And mind your language, I know I have heard worse things come out your mouth but I am still a kid."
"Sorry. Jethro don't even mention your rules."
"I've got to go guy, Zivi love you. Gibbs one, you hurt her I will haunt you for the rest of your life and two, Shannon and Kelly say hi and that their glad you're happy again." I left.
Ziva's POV
"You ok Jethro?" He pulled me into a hug.
"I'm fine honey, you?"
"I'm good, I miss her."
"I know. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Ziver, where's your jacket?"
"I never went to get some. If she wanted to talk to me, she wouldn't have made the room cold. I hate the cold." Gibbs just laughed and soon I was joining in to.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is demurring from reports that she will join the White House as a cabinet member if Hillary Clinton wins the presidential election.
TechCrunch reported Wednesday that during the Virtuous Circle conference in Menlo Park, Calif., Sandberg said, "I'm staying at Facebook," when asked if she were being considered as secretary for the U.S. Treasury Department or Commerce Department.
Sandberg is no stranger to Clinton or the White House. She first worked in Bill Clinton's administration as chief of staff to Larry Summers, the Treasury Secretary. She left D.C. in 2008 to join Google.

What happens when you take one of the most powerful video game characters, maybe ever--yes, even more powerful than Doomguy when he's in God Mode--and drop him into a land frequented by lovable Italian plumbers, princesses, poison mushrooms, and oversized turtles with spikes on their backs?
If you're familiar with the Tecmo Bowl version of Bo Jackson, you probably won't be surprised by the outcome. If you're not, however, allow the following video to educate you:
While that may be the best rushing touchdown ever scored in the history of video game football--don't even try to argue this point, folks--would the outcome be the same kind of domination if you dropped Bo into Mario's world? Yes, actually, it would. Thanks to Kissing Suzy Kolber's find, we now have proof:
This incredibly accurate recreation was uploaded by the folks over at Pixel Rampage. It should be noted that they just completed a successful Kickstarter project for their Gridiron Heroes project, which, aside from looking like an updated Tecmo Bowl, complete with smoother pixels, looks to capitalize on the social media craze that's sweeping the globe. From their Kickstarter description:
We developed Gridiron Heroes to address a void in today's social gaming scene. There's been nothing for the American football fan. Gridiron Heroes will change that, utilizing Facebook as the platform for the ultimate head-to-head competition in American Football GM-style Simulation.
The game promises to a lot more intricate than one might expect, as well:
It's not just the team itself you're managing; you also have to pay careful attention to your team's arena and infrastructure, including the stadium itself, the training facilities, and so on, as these factors can impact each game you play. For example, a larger stadium can hold more fans, which gives your players a morale boost and earns you more ticket money.
Congratulations are in order for their successful Kickstarter project. That being said, it would be awesome to see Bo run through the entire Super Mario game. Yes, it would be more of the same stuff that was featured in the embedded Bo/Mario video, but still, it would be something worth watching.

General Wedding Tips
TIPS ON PLANNING YOUR WEDDINGPlanning a wedding can be the most enjoyable and stressful time of your life. Most brides take at least 12 months to plan to ensure they will have the ability to plan there wedding without rushing. The first thing you want to do when planning your dream wedding is to set your budget. Your budget will allow you to know which vendors you will or will not be able to work with. Make sure your budget is realistic, set cushions. The reason most couples go over budget, is because they do not allow for financial changes in their plans.
The next step to planning your dream wedding is to select your venue. The internet can be a great tool for narrowing down your selections. If you are on a budget, you might want to select a venue to house both your ceremony and reception. When selecting a dual location, you will cut down or eliminate the cost for transportation and your guest will not have to travel between your ceremony and reception sites.
Finally, remember, when planning your wedding, enjoy your time. This is a once in a lifetime event. If you are on a budget, make sure to splurge on at least one item. You do not want to look back regretting not hiring your favorite bakery, florist, DJ, dress designer… If you a lot for one splurge, you will not hurt your budget.

"VG Energy Inc. seeks to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of global bio-fuel and agriculture producers through the discovery and development of sustainable, functional and renewable oil-producing plants for the global energy and food markets."
The VG Solution
VG Energy Inc's proprietary compounds and process, which includes issued and pending patents, provide accelerated and increased oil production in plants of all types leading to opportunities in two key industries:
Energy: Our product can increase the yields of algal oil by up to 300%, dramatically enhancing productivity. We are in the process of commercializing with existing producers. Commercialization is currently centered on scaling up the use of our compounds from small batches to industrial mass production environments with various partners in the energy industry. The promise is that of a sustainable, functional and renewable source of refinable oil for global industry.
Agriculture: We are researching and developing the use of our compounds for enhancement of yields in various edible oils such as palm, soybean and sunflower. By doing so, the productivity of key food supplies is increased bringing benefit worldwide.
VG Energy Inc. ("VGE") is positioned to take advantage of immediate, high-value opportunities in the biofuel and agricultural industries through its key issued and pending patents, as well as certain trade secrets, concerning our Metabolic Disruption Technology. This MDT technology can improve the productivity of current processes. The company expects that additional near-term research results will generate numerous additional high-value opportunities in both industries.
The biofuels opportunity is driven primarily by concerns over the availability and cost of new supplies of refinable crude oil. The trend in recent years is for declining reserves and significantly higher cost of exploration for new oil supplies. This, in addition to near-universal concerns over climate change, energy dependence, and food prices (which suffer via competition with ethanol producers for farmland as well as increased transportation costs), has led to the search for alternative sources of energy.
In the US, the relevance of alternative energy is heightened by federal legislation mandating seemingly unattainable production volumes by 2022. A third generation biofuel, algae lipids has become a front-runner in the race to solve the aforementioned economic, environmental and social challenges. To date, however, major chemical companies, agricultural scientists and algal oil producers have not been able to achieve sufficiently high levels of productivity to allow their oil production to be economically competitive with high-cost traditional crude oil from fossil sources.
VGE's Metabolic Disruption Technology is the solution to overcoming the limits of current production techniques. Through manipulation of algae cells' internal metabolism and storage of fats, our compounds can increase oil yield without causing cell damage or employing dangerous chemicals. Preliminary discussions with key stakeholders and market participants indicate that the technology holds great value.

PHO RESTAURANTS are about as prevalent as bus stops here, but pho is just a minor player in Hanoi Kitchen's lineup. It's a family-run operation: Mom is at the stove, and the daughters run the spacious and immaculate front-of-house. They seem to know they're a bit of a secret, and come over a bit giddy when they learn it's your first time—like they're excited for you. They should be, because Hanoi Kitchen's menu, distinguished by unique dishes, fresh ingredients, fair pricing, and a heartiness that makes it feel like home cooking, merits them far more buzz than they get.
A starter of canh ga chien nuoc mam, fried Vietnamese chicken wings in caramelized fish sauce, will look familiar. Sweet, sticky, and meaty, they don't have the heat and surface debris of their more famous local counterpart, but at only $7.45 for three full wings (drumette, flap, tip), it's great value and flavor. Bi cuon, shredded pork skin spring rolls ($4) are a less-intense and refreshing starter with a light, salty crunch at the center.
For mains, the staff is likely to steer you to their banh cuôn, steamed rice-batter crêpes ($6.50-7.50) served with the familiar orange fish sauce, chile, and lime dip. These house specialties are crêpes in a loose sense, and look more like the large chow fun kerchiefs you see at good dim sum parlors. The tender and delicious banh cuôn ha nôi, filled with ground pork, chopped shrimp, onions, and wood ear mushrooms, then topped with fried shallots and toasted ground shrimp, is something I would have ordered every time, if practical.
Mi hoanh thanh, won ton soup ($8.25), is a vast bowl of dumplings, egg noodles, and shiitake mushrooms, served pho-style with a dish of sprouts, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime. A carpet of finely chopped scallions, chives, and more cilantro steeps in the steaming, rich broth, creating a beautiful and enveloping aroma of fresh herbs and spices. Handmade won tons in a thick, silky shell seem to run out too quickly—but this is probably for the best given the volume of the dish. Bits of finely minced pork, fried shallots, and two fat pink tail-on shrimp add a pleasing complexity. Pho ha noi, their sole pho offering ($7.75), is another abundant ocean of traditionally spiced broth with handfuls of fresh herbs, rare flank, meatballs, and tripe. The jewel-red beef cooks quickly in the scalding soup, and while it's a great bowl of pho, my only minor objection is that the meatballs are a little tough.
The understated and delicate crab patties in the bun bo gio cua ($7.95), on the other hand, are soft and cut easily with a spoon. This spicy rice noodle soup, also loaded with beef and braised pork shank, has a gentle but clear heat and a richer broth than the others. Hu tieu nam vang ($8), transparent noodle soup with BBQ pork, ground pork, shrimp, crab, squid, liver, quail egg, and shrimp balls, can be served with the broth on the side, but when pressed for a reason to do so, the staff just said some people like it that way.
Bun, the dry vermicelli bowls served with the chile, fish sauce, and lime juice dressing, are larger and more vibrant than other versions I've found around the city. Bun hanoi dac biet ($7.95), sliced and charbroiled lemongrass pork with shrimp, egg roll, and ground shrimp patty on a sugar cane stick, is an excellent meal for one, as fresh and generous as anything on the menu.
We were consistently steered away from the rice dishes, but the com chien ha noi ($7.95), fried rice with BBQ pork, Asian sausage, chicken, and chopped shrimp, sounded too bountiful and treasure studded to pass up. We should have listened. Maybe it was just the uncle filling in for mom that night, but the chewy, frozen, diced vegetables and uninspired bits of chopped meat made for a ho-hum bachelor's hash, completely out of line with everything else we'd experienced.
Since they don't offer alcohol (please, keep reading), it's a good time to explore more healthful beverages. Cam sua ($3.25), orange juice with condensed milk, is squeezed and mixed to order. In lieu of bothering with the snail soup, I did my requisite Fear Factor bit with a durian sinh to ($3.50), a smoothie, which, when cold, is tangy and only mildly fragrant, like a sweet blue cheese with vanilla and mild citrus.
Hanoi Kitchen offers a wide-ranging menu that showcases fresh meats and vegetables, generous portions, and strong value. Family pride and integrity result in Vietnamese food of excellent quality and—if a dining room consistently full of Vietnamese patrons of all ages is any indication—authenticity.
Hanoi Kitchen is open Tues-Thurs 10 am-9 pm, Fri-Sat 9 am-9 pm, Sun 9 am-8 pm.

The alternate title for this post could be, "What I Spent A Bunch of Time On When I Should Have Been Putting Together The Newsletter for My Volunteer Job."
I don't think I mentioned that for my birthday my hubby and kids gave me Photoshop Elements 7, along with a how-to book by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski. Yippee! Now I just need about 1,000 hours of uninterrupted time to try to figure out how to actually use it! I need someone to come in and do housecleaning and laundry and cooking and dog care and…umm, everything. Even better, maybe Scott Kelby can come and live with us for a little while to teach me. I'll even do his laundry! I guess that's not going to happen. Sigh.
So, what better time to dive in as when there are clothes to be washed and some volunteer computer work which needs to be done on a deadline? No better time, of course.
Here is my SOOC (Straight out of Camera) shot:
My editing program to this point has been Picasa. I really like it. It's easy to use. It's free! Here is how I edited the shot with Picasa:
Here is what I was able to do with Photoshop Elements 7:
Yeah, I still have a lot to learn. For now, I'm off to sort clothes for the laundry. I'll put off the "I'm on a deadline" computer job for a little longer.
What program do you edit with?
Is there anything you are putting off doing today?

Seeking ways to offset the negative impacts of the strong euro and weak U.S. dollar, Volkswagen AG says it will move to increase purchasing from North American suppliers within the next two years.
Boosting the dollar-based component content of vehicles will help the auto maker create a "natural hedge" to combat the currency problems on its balance sheet, VW CFO Hans Dieter Potsch tells Ward's.
"We need to build our North American supply base, and that could take a 2-year execution," Potsch says. The German auto maker also plans to ask its existing global suppliers to shift production of key components to North American facilities, where applicable. This should provide an additional cushion to the currency effects.
Potsch says VW currently has a small research and development presence in the U.S., but plans are progressing to boost those ranks in short order to identify additional supply opportunities within North America.
In addition, VW says it will work with suppliers to stave off soaring prices for raw materials, most notably steel.
The German auto maker says the steep increases in raw-material prices are forcing some suppliers to teeter on the brink of bankruptcy, and it wants to help by bundling purchases among its Tier 2 and Tier 3 parts makers.

Fears of the Mayan apocalypse might have been for naught, but that doesn't mean 2012 went by without any new signs of our world's impending doom. On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that the United States experienced record temperatures in 2012. Last year's average temperature of 55.3°F is a full one degree higher than 1998, the old record-holder. According to one study, weather stations across the country recorded 34,008 new daily highs, juxtaposed against a paltry

The New True (or, The Internet: The Incredible Credibility Machine)
There's an old saying, "don't believe everything you read in the newspapers." Obviously, this advice applies to the Internet. Conduct a search on Google on almost any topic and buried somewhere in the results will be links to a wide variety of unusual or even radical ideas (depending, of course, on your definition of unusual or radical).
Granted, some of these ideas may eventually reach the mainstream, take root and ultimately improve our lives for the better. However, there's a problem. As the Internet has become the medium of choice for uncounted millions around the globe, it has also acquired the power to grant credibility not only to fringe and potentially dangerous ideas, but even to outright lies.
Why is this a problem? It's not because there will always be people who will believe anything. It's also not because some of this information is intentionally deceitful (although this is itself a huge problem). Nor is it even that the numbers of those exposed to this surging tide of fallacy is increasing rapidly. It's a problem because there is a growing culture that is accepting the malleability of truth.
The Malleability of Truth and Other Love Stories
Herein lies the real danger. The truth used to be pure and beautiful and absolute. But in a world where the sanctity of truth is eroded, anything can become true. Now, obviously you don't believe everything you read on the internet (good for you). But how many times have you read something you knew to be wrong or untrue and yet, something about it just stuck with you? Perhaps it nagged at your subconscious. Maybe it even softens your opposition to the original idea.
All mass media has the power to grant credibility. Consider Walter Cronkite, the former journalist and television news anchor. Smart guy? Sure. But he was so respected by his audience, so undeniably credible, that George McGovern wanted him as his Vice Presidential running mate in 1972. Certainly this respect was earned by years of hard work, but the medium of television granted him additional credibility. The internet excels at this.
Today, not only is the internet able to grant credibility, but it can amplify that credibility to a level disproportionate to that of all other media. Today, tens of millions can laugh and experience the otherwise obscure video Evolution of Dance.
Today (a few million less) fall in love with Soccer Moms who blog about their qualifications to be Vice President. How does the Internet do this? It does so in three ways.
1. Scarcity Breeds Credibility
Ask yourself how much you really know about the source of any idea. When we watched Cronkite you might have agreed that he appeared authoritative. You place greater credibility upon his words. But when you read this blog, you can't see or hear me. You might ascribe certain attributes to me, picturing me as tall, charming and handsome (I am :). And if you agree with me or enjoy my posts, that image might increase my credibility with you.
The point is that, like Cronkite, you only get me in small morsels (my posts) and the less you know about me, the more credible I appear. I, like my fellow bloggers, are beautiful and smart and perfect. You don't see anything tarnishing the silver lining. Think about Elliot Spitzer, John Edwards or Tom Cruise; all beloved golden-boys until we looked a little too closely. They became over exposed and the knowledge of their indiscretions, or ridiculous behavior destroyed their credibility. Credibility depends on limited exposure; i.e. scarcity.
2. Less is More (More or Less)
This is less about how much you know about someone then about how many someones you know. Back in Cronkite's day, the number of sources of information you were exposed to could probably be counted on two hands, if not one. I read the RSS feeds from close to one hundred sources every day. Okay, I skim a lot of headlines. The point is that I may not be getting to know any individual source any better then the next one. So how do I know that one source is any more credible then the next?
At least I know that my news comes from diverse sources. Millions of people who use Yahoo or Google as their home pages don't even realize that the news feeds that fill those pages don't all come from the same place. Few people stop to learn about their sources before moving onto the next. When this happens, people can't weigh the credibility of those sources. Everything gets mixed together so fringe ideas earn credibility by being consumed along with more credible ones.
3. Virtuous Circles
Credibility is a powerful thing. In a vacuum (a lack of overexposure) credibility can achieve incredible momentum. Under the right circumstances, that momentum can loop back into a virtuous circle. Credibility builds upon credibility. Google has mined this to amazing effect. Their PageRank system assigns credibility to websites that have a large number of other websites linking to it. When you become credible enough, the standard for what's true is whatever you say it is. You define the truth. This is the "New True."
Welcome to the "New True" ("You can't handle the truth")
The New True doesn't care if anything is true or not because it changes what it means to be true. No longer will the truth be obscured by shades of grey. No longer are outlandish claims incredible. And while the New True can now be found in any mass media, it was the internet that gave it life because once something is on the internet, once it's out there, it can never be taken back. It gains a base credibility and becomes Internet Credible. And once on the Internet, an I-Credible idea can germinate or fester (depending on your point of view), essentially hibernating until its audience finds it.
The implications of this are profound. As the New True becomes accepted, it becomes the standard upon which all other truths are measured. Checks and balances become meaningless. The New True is a rubber stamp which anyone with an audience can place upon any ideas, even potentially dangerous ones. And we have no choice but to learn how to handle it.
Now you may be asking yourself if this could really happen. Could any of this really be true? Of course it is. Want to know why?
Because you read it here, on the internet.

As an author, musician, artist, or small business owner, federal and international copyright law can give you and certain types of work that you produce valuable protection against their unauthorized use by others. Unfortunately, not many authors, musicians, artists, or small business owners can afford to have their own copyright lawyer to maintain and enforce those protections.
A copyright lawyer from our firm can teach you how to handle most of these concerns yourself.
Protecting Your Work, Protecting Your Rights
At Booth Udall Fuller, we help individuals and small- to mid-sized business clients in the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area and throughout Arizona to understand concepts such as fair use and public domain. We also educate them about steps they can take to manage their own copyright issues so that in the future, the only time they will need to contact a copyright lawyer is when a problem arises.
The comprehensive knowledge of intellectual property law and the experience our attorneys have with handling copyright concerns can provide you with nearly everything you need to protect your work and your rights to control its use. However, since the list of things that can be copyrighted is exhaustive, the key is deciding what is important to you and your bottom line. We can explain your rights and your responsibilities, teach you ways to evaluate exactly what to protect, and show you how to create revenue from licensing opportunities.
Moving Ahead
For answers to your questions about copyright law, public domain, or fair use standards—contact a copyright lawyer at our firm today. We offer free initial 30 minute consultations and our main office is conveniently located just south of the 202 Freeway in the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area. We look forward to talking with you.

Oh my, the snow is flying up here in Northern Michigan! Winter is alway a fun time of the year and it's a great time to add a little seasonal spirit into your center activities. These mitten match activities may just do the trick.
Assembling the activities is pretty easy. You'll want to print the mitten on cardstock so that they are durable and then laminate. Just grab a few clothespins and your activity is all set. This is so not necessary, but I decided to "cutesie" up the clothespins by attaching little snowballs on the ends. I picked up this foam packet at Micheal's Craft Store. There's a variety of shapes to use for different activities.
You can find the snowballs on a template of 4. Simply peel them off and put the on the end of the clothespin.
When you download the Mitten Match Rhyme, you'll receive 30 rhyming mitten pairs!
The Mitten Match Rhyme activity is available through my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
The Mitten Match activity is also available for beginning sounds.
You can find the Mitten Match Beginning Sounds activity in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store.
The Mitten Match for Vocabulary is another great center activity for our students. Students simply clip the pictures that go-together. Be sure to have your students explain why the pictures go together to expand oral language.
The Mitten Match Vocabulary activity is available in the my online Teachers Pay Teacher store.
Now for the Mitten Match Math- You can download the addition facts to 10 for free.

Brotherhood of the White TempleAdvancement of Metaphysical and Spiritual Knowledge
What does the Brotherhood teach?
The Brotherhood gives to its members a complete instruction in ALL of the fundamental laws of the Cosmos. It teaches the individual how to develop his own inner powers so that he becomes perfectly balanced on the three phases of manifestation, physical, mental and spiritual. It teaches Universal Law in all of its aspects, so that the student learns the Key-Truths, which enable him to strip the veil from the symbols of all philosophies and religions and find the true God behind all manifestations. These Lessons are carefully prepared so that the student may learn the fundamental laws, not only of the material but also of the higher mental and spiritual planes. All Lessons remain the property of the Brotherhood, being only LOANED for the use of the student, and must be returned if the membership is terminated. The instruction is separated into the following divisions:
Weekly: Church lessons
Ancient Wisdom Teachings
Truth Sheet (Information from Brotherhood headquarters)
Truth Workers Guild Lessons (Lectures by Brotherhood
Minsters and Ministers-In-Training
Monthly: Fellowship of the Avatar Lessons
Three large issues a year: Light On The Path magazine
Brotherhood Church
The Brotherhood of the White Temple is a correspondence Church. It offers a series of lessons on every branch of occult, metaphysical and Spiritual Science, including healing. These lessons are divided into four Neophyte and twelve Temple grades. These sixteen grades require approximately four and one-half years to complete. Each grade has from twelve to twenty-seven lessons, one lesson being mailed each week. Upon completion of this course, the student may then be invited to enter the Inner Work of the Brotherhood.
A contribution of $25 dollars for a one-time entrance fee and $50 dollars membership dues for the first month is required, which will be returned if the application is rejected for any reason. A further contribution of $50 dollars each month is required as long as one remains a member. Upon being accepted for membership, you will be mailed the first lesson, a membership card and a contribution card.
What the Church teaches
The Brotherhood recognizes the fact that each soul manifests through a different vehicle, and a different degree of consciousness and development. It knows that the problems of each individual are different and for this reason it desires to help you with your own particular obstacle. You may write the Brotherhood an explanation of your particular problem and you will be shown how you may eliminate it according to Divine Law.
It recognizes that perfect health is a vital factor in development, for if one is constantly beset by pain and illness, it is hard for the full power of consciousness to be turned toward the Divine Light. For this reason, it teaches the laws of perfect health according to the Divine Plan. It shows you how to overcome all physical disturbance, so that your efforts toward Spiritual unfoldment will be unhindered.
- It teaches the way by which you may conquer space, time and matter, and enter into the higher planes where the Great Adepts teach in a manner unknown to the material world.
- It shows you how to call upon your inner self for guidance in the problems which confront you in your daily life.
- It teaches you how you may attain liberation from the material, and manifest in higher planes of consciousness.
- It teaches the location of the occult centers, spiritual and material, and how to awaken them, so that the inner power of the soul may manifest in the material world.
- It shows you how to contact both the Master within and the Master without so that you may fully comprehend and use the Mighty Divine Laws of the Universal Consciousness.
- It teaches you how the Creative Spirit brought all things into manifestation and how to harmonize yourself with this Creative principle.
- It teaches the laws of Cosmogony and the secrets of God's Plan for the Universe.
- It teaches the secrets of alchemistry, and the ancient Kabbala.
- It teaches the secret meaning of symbols, so that their understanding may be applied to all religions and philosophies.
- It teaches you how to rejuvenate and vitalize all of the organs of the body, so that you may be more fully able to manifest in perfect of body, mind and soul.
- The ancient Yoga secrets of Asana (posture), breath and Mantra (chant) are given in a manner suitable for the Western body as well as the Eastern body.
- It teaches you how to recover the knowledge attained in past lives, by reading the Akashic (Universal) Records.
- Finally, it teaches you how to become at-one with the Universal Consciousness.
All of the work given is for the purpose of developing your own inner power, so that you may become a perfect instrument for the Divine Consciousness to manifest through. You learn to find the Great Masters of Wisdom, and coordinate your efforts with theirs, so that more Light may shine on a world of darkness. You learn how to find your own part in the Great Plan, so that you may perform the works best suited to your own talents.
Ancient Wisdom Teachings
In addition to the metaphysical Church lessons issued to the members of the Brotherhood, a course of lessons and sermons on metaphysical and religious instructions will be given bi-weekly. The Ancient Wisdom Teachings lessons contain explanations of the original Gnostic teaching of Jesus with metaphysical explanations and daily suggestions for spiritual concentration. The lessons are prepared with the idea of giving the seeker a correct understanding of the principles of the Divine as expounded by Jesus, and the great Prophets of the Christian Bible.
It is the belief of the Brotherhood that the true teachings of the Bible have been lost by the orthodox churches. It is the purpose of the Brotherhood to restore these teachings to their original form, making them understandable to everyone, even the little child.
To all members of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, a lesson will be sent for every week of the month. These lessons very closely interconnect and support the teachings in the Church lessons. These two units of study give a greater and clearer understanding of the mystical and occult truths and will explain the manner in which the seeker may utilize the truth principles in his everyday life. Therefore, enrollment in the Ancient Wisdom Teachings is required for those that enroll in the Church course. The Church lessons are designed to raise the inner self to liberation of the soul and spirit so that one can attune with the Avatar and other Masters throughout the universe.
Begin Your JourneyNo knowledge is forbidden to man, when he has, by his own efforts, made himself ready to receive; so he who has ears to hear, let him hear - Dr. M. Doreal
I have been a member of the Brotherhood of the White Temple for close to 45 years. I have met many members of the Brotherhood through attending the classes which were held in Shamballa. The Brotherhood members I met were some of the finest people I have ever known. Many of them have become lifelong friends.
The teachings of God and the Universal laws of this organization far surpass and are far more pure than any other teachings I have ever come in contact with. These teachings are not, however, for the shallow minded, but are only for the most serious students of truth. Those who cannot see beyond the surface of materially will see no value in these deep and wonderful teachings. If one is looking for an easy path to self-aggrandizement, or for power over others, they need to look elsewhere.

Muslim violence drives Copts from Egyptian village
February 09, 2012
Muslim zealots in a village outside Alexandria, Egypt, have driven Coptic Christians out of the community, burning homes and shops, with the acquiescence of local police.
The 62 Coptic families that lived in Kobry-el-Sharbat have sought refuge elsewhere in the wake of the violence, which was triggered by reports that a Coptic tradesman had taken photos of a Muslim woman with his cell phone.

I didn't get that, but that seems quite logic to me. But what is less clear, is when a subproperty P2 may need a range totally different from its superproperty ? Do you have an example ?

Religious Intrusions Mar Army Suicide Stand-Down
Suicide rates in the US military exceed one per day. This has been identified by military leaders as a crisis requiring attention throughout the military. Last Thursday, there was an Army-wide "stand down" to focus on suicide prevention training. However, reports are coming in that chaplain-led sessions on 'resilience' showed a priority on religion, prayer, and "god's plan". These personal religious expressions may be appropriate in private, optional settings, but they have no place in mandatory settings and even violate the Army's own guidance that its "spiritual fitness" training be optional. Organizations like MAAF and American Atheists are advising soldiers to report issues to their command to see if the military can resolve these issues internally.
One example report received from an Army Sergeant in Ft Riley, Kansas said that a chaplain delivered suicide prevention training but also used it to promote his monotheistic view of the world with quotes like the ones below:
- "There is a 'God's master plan' for you."
- "If you focus on yourself, can you complete God's mission? No, you can not."
- "If you fit into God's plan, then you will fit into the military plan."
- "All authority comes from god. If you show obedience to God, you will start to show obedience to your chain of command."
- "Fit into God's master plan and you will succeed."
- "I know how to motivate myself: I pray to my god. I hope you pray to your god."
- "Set your mind in front of God and you can help your friends and family"
If these were in the local chapel or in an optional Christian or general religious setting, then they may have been appropriate. But in a mandatory briefing, they only serve to ostracize the nonreligious and give the appearance that the chain of command prefers theistic viewpoints and does not accommodate the nontheistic. RockBeyondBelief reports a similar incident at Ft Sam Houston, Texas, where another MAAF member, SSG Vicki Gettman recounts how she and 800 others were given a candlelight prayer during mandatory training:
Plastic candles were handed out. I was giving the chaplain the benefit of the doubt. His first few statements included having something bigger than yourself in your life and NEEDING something divine. I immediately turned around and stood by the front door of the theater. From there I could hear the mass prayer as they turned on the candles, shut off the lights and bowed their heads. The chaplain prayed to his heavenly father.
The candlelight vigil may be viewed as "just" a ceremonial prayer. Such ceremonial prayers are unfortunately added to military events day, with soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines subjected to command-led prayer at mandatory events. But the inclusion of this prayer as a key part of a training event goes beyond the normal role of prayer as "decoration" on a ceremony. It shows that religion is creeping more and more out of personal activities and into command-directed training programs.
Again we find suicide prevention and resiliency training confused with a prayer session. The Army says "Shoulder to Shoulder, no soldier stands alone." But nontheists feel very alone and vulnerable when suddenly part of a command-led, mandatory prayer event. The Army, breaking from Navy and Air Force policy, has unfortunately condones sectarian prayer at mandatory events. This discriminatory policy has gone overlooked. However, the Army did declare "Spiritual Dimension [modules] are completely voluntary." By making the training optional, the Army recognized that "spirituality" is a concept not fit to all soldiers. Rather than partnering with MAAF and other nontheist organizations to help fit the spiritual dimension training to nontheists, the Army opted to continue to spend millions on training that would do more harm than good to nontheists. Chaplains, despite being intended primarily for religious services, are the first-line for risk management, marriage counseling, and other non-religious duties. And the issues during the suicide stand-down show that the "optional" approach will not work and that trainers and training materials must be expanded in scope to include nontheists and to ensure that "spiritual fitness" does not become a proxy for promotion of religion.
The Army should act quickly and decisively to denounce the co-opting of suicide prevention and resiliency training for promotion of religion. They should survey their Resiliency trainers, especially chaplains, about what level of religion they feel is appropriate. Those using resiliency training for mandatory prayer and god-focused solutions should be retrained to emphasize that spirituality is optional until it reengineered to be appropriate for everyone. Commands should be surveyed to ask what materials are available specifically for atheists and humanists. If the military wants to provide for beliefs, they should first avoid promoting one type of beliefs over any other, which means they should ensure that all beliefs are equally represented (ie, less for some and more for others). This means, more than anything, that the Army's Comprehensive Soldier Fitness office and suicide prevention program directors should be contacting MAAF and other representatives of the atheist and humanist community to collaborate on future training development and reform of existing training programs. By taking these actions, the Army can show the incidents of religious bias last Thursday were exceptions to rather than expressions of command religious climate.
edit 10/4: ChristianPost.com published an article titled "Atheists Ask Military to Drop 'Religious Expressions' in Suicide Prevention Briefings". MAAF would like to clarify that the issue is with "personal religious expressions." References to religion and even encouragement of personal religious practices according to the conscience of the individual may be appropriate for some training. The objection in this article is that personal religious expressions from trainers should not be mixed into official training programs and the Army's own guidance requires all "spiritual fitness" training to be optional. Providing more recognition and inclusion of nontheistic beliefs is necessary to offset the excessive emphasis on god-based religious beliefs. Minor typographical corrections were also made.
7 Responses to Religious Intrusions Mar Army Suicide Stand-Down
I never realized that there was an activist community of Atheists within the army. I've been in for a few years and always felt alone whenever the Chaplain briefed us, resiliency training, whenever we've had a safety stand-down, and every time the unit (from platoon all the way up to battalion) had a group prayer. It's hard to not feel like an outcast when senior NCOs and officers tell you to pray and you step away. Even when participating in a change of command/change of responsibility they force it upon you. It's tough, but thanks for the work you're doing to try and make our armed forces include all of their servicemembers.
When I was in Afghanistan, my PLT, Ruggid 71, 515th Engineer Company (Sapper) of Fort Leonard Wood, MO prayed before every mission. I was not against this and I didn't participate. There were of course attempts to get me to, sometimes jeering and such, but it was never a mandatory thing. They believed they got out of there alive because they prayed, I believe it was because we did our jobs and got lucky.
Mr. Torpy. Although not a member of the army, I want you to know that I agree with you and will promote your cause.

Forwarded this to my readiness NCO (who is also a member of MAAF!). 2 out of 3 of our Resilience trainers are irreligious, and I'll eventually be giving the briefing on Developing the Five Dimensions of Soldier Fitness – which includes that spiritual aspect. The Army's Resilience Program defines spiritual fitness as, "Strengthening a set of beliefs, principles or values that sustain a person beyond family, institutional, and societal sources of strength." No inherent mention of any theistic perspective (but neither does it exclude it), which is a step in the right direction for serving *all* soldiers. Sad to see the (seemingly) intentional inclusivity is not being emphasized in practice…

Tel Aviv (Oct. 7)
The hope that after the war "it will be worthwhile even for American and Russian Jews to emigrate to Palestine" was voiced here by David Ben-Gurion, chairman of the executive of the Jewish Agency, addressing the third annual "Substitute Zionist Congress." The meeting, which has been arranged by the Keren Hayesod, is intended to take the place of the regular Zionist Congresses which cannot be held because of the war.
To finance the post-war expansion of Palestine in order that the country may be able to absorb millions of immigrants, it will be necessary to launch a campaign in the United States and England to persuade Jews in those countries to invest in Palestine enterprises, Dr. Emil Shmorak, a member of the executive of the Jewish Agency, told the 1,500 Zionist leaders and guests attending the conference. Discussing the prospects for the future economic development of Palestine, Dr. Shmorak stated that the democratic world must create in Palestine, after the war, financial and economic conditions which will guarantee the speedy development of a Jewish national home. International loans must be secured in other countries besides England and America, he said, and deposits in local banks, totalling about $200,000,000 must be utilized.
Mr. Ben-Gurion discussed the political situation in Palestine in the light of the approaching Allied victory. He reviewed the circumstances that led to the issuance of the White Paper of 1939 and outlined the steps that must be taken by the Jews to secure its abrogation. Simultaneously, he stressed, Palestine Jewry's contributions to the war effort must be continued. The Agency chairman stated that the time has come to plan for the largest possible immigration into Palestine within the shortest possible time. He stated that the two main tasks that lie ahead are extension of Jewish colonization within Palestine's borders and development of a large fishing and maritime industry. Mr. Ben-Gurion pointed out that Palestine belongs not only to the Jews living there at present, but to Jews in all countries of the world who will wish to come here after the war.
Eliezer Kaplan, treasurer of the Jewish Agency, reported that Palestine agriculture has increased by 50 percent in the past few years and the value of industrial products has risen 30 percent in the same period. Exports to neighboring countries, exclusive of oil, new total 3,000,000 annually. The Palestine Government, he said, derives 70 percent of its income from the Jewish residents, with the city of Tel Aviv, alone, contributing 45 percent. Mr. Kaplan emphasized that when hostilities cease, Palestine industry will be faced with competition from neighboring countries coupled with a sharp decrease in military orders. To counteract this, he said, new markets must be developed and old ones strengthened.
Of the $88,000,000 that have come into Palestine during the war, $60,000,000 came from Jewish sources, the Agency treasurer disclosed, adding that in the last year the combined income of the Agency and the Keren Hayesod amounted to $6,000,000, of which about 30 percent was used for colonization, including the establishment of nine new agricultural settlements.
Greetings to the congress were received from Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Prof. Selig Brodetsky, the Zionist Organization of Algiers and other persons and groups. A highpoint of the proceedings was the appearance on the speakers' platform of a Jewish soldier who urged increased enlistment and also the preparation of plans for the colonization of demobilized soldiers after the war.

Tonight s Orpheum Theatre Movie Series is TheGodfather II,. The guys from Accidental Mersh are back from college for the summer and are playing at the New Daisy tonight. DJs Sean O Daniels and Brad Johnson are whooping it u in the M Bar at Melange, which has undergone some changes and has a more lounge-like atmosphere and is now offering a Monday-Friday $1 off all drinks and tapas happy hour. Native Son (one of Memphis finest) is at the Blue Monkey tonight. And, as always, The Chris Scott Band is at Poplar Lounge tonight.
Just back from vacation -- one of the many highlights of which was seeing a store sign that informed passersby that the shop sold Ladies Plus Size Clothes and Turkey and Dressing -- and I must say that I got back just in time for one of the most magical moments in Memphis history: the lighting of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music and Stax Music Academy Soulsville U.S.A. signs. Hundreds of people showed up. It was one of the finest neighborhood street parties this city has ever seen and is just further proof that at least some people in this city care about it and know what they are doing. Then, unfortunately, I started catching up on the news I d missed out on. First, there was the president s colon. What a lovely thought. And I did see a great newspaper headline that read, Jewish leaders generally pleased that Bush places onus on Palestinians. Had I been the proofreader, I don t think I could have helped changing that to anus. And then I found myself incredulous at something I read about some of the members of the Shelby County Commission, which I suppose is old news by now. I usually get a kick out of some of the things our local politicians do, but this county commission debacle, with them joining Joe Cooper in his insane idea to sell off some of the land at Shelby Farms and develop it into another freakin nasty, horrible subdivision of nasty horrible houses that all look alike and are all inhabited by a bunch of lemmings who, unfortunately, haven t jumped off of a cliff into the sea to their deaths yet, is just too much. The one place left in suburban Memphis that doesn t look like Stepfordland, and they want to destroy it so a bunch of developers can make a killing and, most likely, put some of that money in the campaign coffers of those on their side in this new argument that can only be described as something out of a science fiction movie shot in Bugtussle. Oddly enough, Commissioner Walter Bailey is against a private Shelby Farms Conservancy which wants to save the park, because he doesn t think rich people who want to donate money to save the land ought to have that right. I guess that same way of thinking doesn t include the millions that would be made by the developers. And then we have that pathetic, sickeningly melodramatic Marilyn Loeffel or Falafel or whatever her name is right in there with them, wanting to spoil one of America s best green spaces to build a pressboard, cookie-cutter metropolis to make us the laughingstock of the civilized, environmentally-aware world. If she s so concerned about developing land in Shelby County to reduce the debt and have more money for her little white-flight county schools, why doesn t she just persuade her precious Bellevue Baptist Church to donate to the county some of that ludicrously sized compound they have out there -- which I still maintain has an alien landing pad hidden somewhere on the grounds -- and stick her ugly subdivision next to her ugly church? And WHY is Commissioner Michael Hooks allowed to vote on ANYTHING? You d think getting caught with a bunch of crack paraphernalia would be enough to put an end to his being able to have any kind of say-so about this at all, much less proposing that 25 acres of the park be carved out. It s incredible. Just when everyone thought that Cooper s proposal to sell off Shelby Farms to make way for a bunch of strip shopping centers and ugly houses -- some of which are sure to have turrets, a scary trend in new houses here -- was simply a juvenile publicity stunt to get attention because he s not smart enough to do anything worthy of real attention, here come some of the commissioners actually agreeing with this preposterous idea. All I can say is thank God for people like Commissioner Tom Moss and Ron Terry and Jim Rout, who see this utter madness for what it is, and forget the rest of them until the next election. In the meantime, before there s an outlet mall where Patriot Lake used to be, here s a look at what s going on around town this week. If you happen to be reading this on July 3rd, as many of you do who get the paper early, tonight s big pre-Fourth festival is the WMC Star-Spangled Celebration at Shelby Farms (while it s still there), with a Saint Peter Home Picnic, a car giveaway, fireworks, and live music by Train. As for today, Thursday, it is, of course, July 4th. And tonight s big party is the Red, White, and Blues Celebration at Tom Lee Park and on Beale Street, with fireworks and plenty of live music. Tonight s Live at the Garden Summer Concert Series show at Memphis Botanic Garden is Pops With the Plants, featuring the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and the fabulous Stax Music Academy Rhythm Section. The Memphis Redbirds play Portland tonight. And speaking of the Redbirds, let it be known that Sadie Ware, the queen of soul cooking in Memphis and formerly at the Orchid Club, is now at the Redbird Cafe on Fourth Street, just a block from the stadium, cooking up breakfast and lunch. Phillip Barnes & Clamp Those Monkey Teeth are at the Full Moon Club tonight upstairs from Zinnie s East. And none other than the legendary Ms. Etta James is at the Lounge tonight at 7:30, followed later by The Reigning Sound.

There are many special places in Worcester, and when thoughts turn to music, none is more special than Institute Park on a shady summer evening, with sweet strains of harmony floating on the breeze. No one did more to make such evenings a reality than the late Harry Levenson and his wife, Madelyn Sadick Levenson.
So it is entirely appropriate that at 7 p.m. this Sunday, the concert shell at Institute Park will be named the Levenson Concert Stage in their honor.
The Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra will follow with the presentation of its "Classics to Broadway" concert, continuing a summer music tradition that dates to 1951.
On behalf of the greater Worcester community, we offer congratulations and thanks to the Levenson family, and the hope that harmony will continue to grace the park and echo among Worcester's seven hills for many years to come.

Crowd excitement helps kick off the Bootfest
Oct. 21, 2011 at 5:21 a.m.
Updated Oct. 22, 2011 at 5:22 a.m.
Clara Payne doesn't need any particular reason to wear hot pink. It's been her favorite color for the past 20 years. She said it's a part of her signature look.
Friday evening gave her a reason to wear her bubble gum boots to the Bootfest.
With her husband out of town for the weekend, Payne said, "Guess I'll be going to the Bootfest. I love stuff like this." She also said she loves country music.
Payne was one of a few hundred people attending the inaugural event. The crowd attending the event got larger as the night passed.
Spectators filled the area all around DeLeon Plaza in downtown Victoria, eating, dancing and shopping. To add to the festival flavor, there was a custom-made boot shop.
Bands Curtis & Luckey, JB & the Moonshine Band, and Wade Bowen also performed on stage.
O.C. Garza, the city's communications director, said the great weather and country and western music are ideal factors for a large turnout.
"I think it's going to get crowded," he said,
Raul Villalobos, from Victoria, brought his family along with no expectation. He was pleased.
Villalobos said he met people from Houston and San Antonio at the Bootfest. He said the festival is a good idea for tourists. Villalobos said he plans to go to the festival both days because of the nice variety. On Saturday, he plans on going to the sheriff's office open house.
"It's pretty neat to be able to learn about the community and have fun," he said.
Michelle Vasquez said she's glad she can stay in town for a festival because, in the past, she's had to go out of town. The 22-year-old Victoria College student said she enjoyed the food and the music.
Vasquez said she hopes the festival puts Victoria on the map as a destination for people wanting a signature event.
"If Yorktown can have a fest, we can too," she said.

Anthony Vaccarello is Versus Versace's new creative director
Donatella Versace has found a new boss for Versace's diffusion line
Hot on the heels of Alessandro Michele's appointment at Gucci, Versus Versace has also named its new creative director. Anthony Vaccarello, previous Versus collaborator and the man who made this amazing collection, is officially the head of Versus. This is the first time the brand has had a proper creative director since Christopher Kane, who left in 2012.
The announcement was made last night on social media to much excitement. Again, we're talking about the designer who reinvented the iconic safety pin dress with even more sex-appeal and elegance than ever before.
"I've followed Anthony's work from his very first collection; as soon as I met him I realised immediately he was the one, he gets it, his talent screams Versus Versace," said Donatella, who stays on as artistic director.
Anthony is to present his first collection as creative director for the Autumn Winter 2015 season, but according to The Independent, it remains uncertain if that is to be at the upcoming Milan Fashion Week.
