Posted on August 7, 2014 by Liz
Last month we asked for the best P.E.I inspired recipes to celebrate the arrival of our golden Pils on the East Coast. You Good Beer Folks did not let us down! It was a tough job reading through all the delectable and hunger inducing recipes, but we managed to do it. We are proud to announce Chef Lincoln Key from Sutherland's Restaurant in Stanley Bridge P.E.I as the winner and recipient of the special P.E.I prize pack (valued at $200).
Lincoln is the restaurant chef at Sutherland's Restaurant and a devout fan of Steam Whistle. Him, his boys and the restaurant's Executive Chef got together and came up with the mouthwatering recipe for P.E.I Island Blue Mussels. The team took their inspiration from the beer and fresh local ingredients. As Lincoln explained, it's about "as local as you can get." It was his local approach, easy to understand steps and our tastebuds that earned Lincoln the bragging rights and winning title.
We would also like to give an honourable mention to Chef Josh Gonneau, a longtime chef and the man behind feastfreshcaledon.com. His recipe for P.E.I Steam Whistle Lobster was more like a work of art which put the spotlight on P.E.I's celebrated lobster and our refreshing Pilsner.
So without further delay here is the winning recipe:
This Island dish is cooked in Steam Whistle Pilsner and P.E.I ADL aged cheddar.
-1 LB PEI Mussels
-1 cup Steam Whistle Pilsner
-3 oz ADL Aged Cheddar (cut into small cubes)
-1 Tbsp diced onions
-1 Tbsp minced garlic
The trick with mussels is not to overload them with liquid. You're steaming them, not boiling them. So, in a small pot, saucepan or frying pan pour in the beer. The beer should cover the bottom of the pan, don't worry if it doesn't seem like enough – as long as it's covering the bottom, you're laughing. Next, add the garlic and onion. You want the garlic and onion on the bottom because the flavors will cook up. Finally, add the mussels and cheese. Cover and crank up the heat. You should cook for about 10 minutes or less. If your mussels are fresh, they'll open up and the meat will turn a nice yellow-orange color.

Living with depression is hard. You might feel sad, distracted, angry or exhausted for no reason. You may withdraw from people you care about. You may be unable to enjoy things you once loved to do. You might feel like life is pointless and not worth living. Call 911 right away if you have thoughts of death or suicide.
It is not easy to reach out when you feel hopeless. But you owe it to yourself to do so. Seeking help is the first step in ending depression.
How can I get help?
Your family doctor may be the best place to start. Depression symptoms can be similar to those of other medical problems or conditions and vice versa. A physical exam and possibly lab work can rule out other causes. If your doctor thinks you have depression, he or she may prescribe an antidepressant medication. Or you may be referred to a mental health expert for talk therapy or other treatment. Most research has shown that a combination of medications and talk therapy is most helpful.
You may also find a mental health professional through:
- Your health insurance company. You can request a list of providers in your network. Also, find out what services are covered.
- An employee assistance program (EAP). These services are usually free and confidential.
- Professional or advocacy associations. Search the Internet for groups such as the American Psychological Association and the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. They often provide searchable listings of their members or affiliates.
- The mental health division of your local health department. You may have to meet certain criteria to get these services. Find contact information and other resources on county and state government websites.
- Your spiritual adviser. Some clergy members are trained counselors. Others may help you find support.
- Family and friends. You might want to see the same person someone close to you sees. Or the therapist may suggest someone else for you to see.
- Your doctor. He or she usually knows the therapists in the area and who would be the best fit for you.

Friends, Thank You for your very kind words about my sofa slipcover! I'm so happy with it I could cry. It's kind of brightened up the entire apartment space we live in and its given me the bug for a few more home dec projects. I just finished up a shower curtain and bought a second hand kitchen/cafe table to boot. I'll also be installing coat hooks and a boot tray by the door soon. Nothing too glamorous really, but while I'm at it, I might as well give the couch a little something to compete against.
Since many of you were curious about the process, I decided to give you my inside info on how I did it. As this was my second time giving my sofa the slip – pun intended of course – I had a much better idea of what I needed to do and how to do it. So if you too are interested in giving a piece of furniture a slipcover, here's a few ideas/suggestions for you.
Ideas for the Rub Off/Pattern
To start with, there's actually a great pattern put out by McCall's (3278) that walks you through the process of how to plan and sew a slipcover. I pulled the pattern out of my stash – which really its not a pattern per se, but more of a guide for how to make your own slipcover – and started perusing it and planning my slipcover back in May. McCall's 3278 walks you through measuring your sofa or chair so that you have an idea of how much fabric to purchase, in addition it gives instructions on how to make welting for the slipcover and how to rub off the pattern utilizing muslin from your original sofa. If you want to sew a slipcover, get this pattern – you'll definitely get your money's worth.
For box cushions and throw pillow ideas, definitely read this Thread's article. It would have been impossible to get great looking corners on my sofa cushions were it not for this article and I would never have come up with the idea of putting a buttonhole in the throw pillows – to make them washable – on my own. Also, this blog had a very helpful suggestion when it came to sewing a slipcover – as you go along, pin test the slipcover to the sofa by pinning the seam allowances together and draping it over the sofa to get a really nice and form fitting fit.
Sewing Notions for DIY Upholstery
There's actually some great notions out there, at your local fabric store (amazing right?) that are easy to find and great to use for upholstery. I found all of the notions that I used in the making of my slipcover at Joann. It was really crazy that I didn't have to go anywhere else to find any of it either. Hmmmm….. Anyway, let's talk about them. First there's upholstery thread which is a really fat heavy duty thread and it only comes in a few colors. I used this in the top thread of my machine only and it works really well in conjunction with your regular bobbin thread. I used the Coats and Clark brand, but Gutterman also has some and you can find it online here.
Heavy duty zippers. These are found only in the home dec isle too. I used a metal zipper in the slipcover portion of my couch – at the center back – and for the cushions I used this heavy duty zipper that comes in a 3 yard roll with something like 12 zipper pulls on it. You just cut off the amount of zipper you need and bar tack it at the bottom and top and there you go. These things have big sturdy zipper pulls and coils and their not going to just fall apart at the drop of a hat.
Drapery weights come in really handy if you need to add some weight to the hem of the skirt section of the slipcover. Just tack them into the corners of the slipcover and they'll make your slipcover hang nice and straight.
Upholstery needles are the only way to go if you plan to do any buttons on your throw pillows. Super long and they can hold about a million threads too.
Steam-a-Seam. I love this stuff. I think its the best stuff since sliced bread. I use it all the time and I really put it to work in my slipcover. Use it instead of hand basting – it's the bees knees!
Welting cord can be found along with the other items above and it's usually sold by the yard. There's a few different sizes too.
Fabric Ideas & Resources
I most definitely recommend scoping out your local fabric scene to see if there are any shops that specialize in upholstery fabric. Personally, I wish I had done this a bit more. I saw the fabric I chose online and went with it because I knew what the weight and quality of those Amy Butler cotton sateens would be like. It was only after I had purchased the fabric online that I started scoping out my local fabric scene. Surprisingly, here in SLC, Utah, there's several shops around that have an amazing collection of home dec fabrics. Crazy. I'm still happy with what I chose, but I might have picked something different had I visited these shops first. Awww well. I found my fabric at fabric.com and I was very happy with the service – I also like the idea that I could reorder more of the fabric if I needed and I did because originally I only started out with 10 yards and had to order 5 more later.
For my sofa slipcover this time around, I decided to go with a print instead of a solid. Having grown up with printy couches my whole life, I didn't realize why my mom had picked printy couches until I had a solid colored one. With my red sofa slipcover – the one I had previous to my now gorgeous new one! – there ended up being all sorts of stains and what nots all over it. I don't even have kids friends. The solid red didn't hide anything. So I decided on a print this time around and let me tell you it hides alot! For anyone first attempting a slipcover, I highly recommend using a print as even sewing mistakes and mishaps are not nearly as visible as they are on a solid.
I interfaced a few sections of the slipcover with some high quality muslin namely the seats on the cushions (the part you sit on), the back of the slipcover (the part you would have your back against were you to sit down on the sofa and also the skirt.
Well…. I think that just about wraps it up. Believe me, I'm not a professional home-dec-er. I never do stuff like this, just on occasion. Weird though that I did quite a bit of homework on this particular make. It's only fair that I share it with you – especially if you too are a dressmaker turned home-dec-er every now and again. Let me know if you gals and guys have any questions and I'll try to answer them! Hopefully this is a helpful post if you want to try your hand at DIY slipcovers. Enjoy!

© St. Petersburg Times, published January 21, 2003
SAN DIEGO -- Even though he stayed in Tampa, Jon Gruden was a popular topic among the Raiders.
Because Gruden decided to spend Monday in his office working on the game plan, Oakland coach Bill Callahan skipped the opening press session, even though he only would have had to take the elevator to the lobby level of the Raiders hotel.
When asked if he thought it was right for Gruden to stay behind, Oakland offensive tackle Lincoln Kennedy sneered, "There's nothing Gruden does surprises me anymore, believe me."
Kennedy later took a few more jabs.
Asked what credit Gruden should be given for the Raiders success, he made a backhanded reference to how the Raiders benefited by Gruden's departure.
"Gruden created this team," Kennedy said. "Over the last four years he was here -- and he had input in what we got as far as draft choices."
The Bucs gave the Raiders four draft choices and $8-million for the rights to hire Gruden.
And would the Raiders be in the Super Bowl if Gruden were still their coach?
"I don't know," he said. "I don't feel we were that far away from getting to this spot. I haven't given it that much thought. I'm happy to be here. This team worked incredibly hard. I don't know if we would have had the same mentality or the same philosophy on offense as we did. It was a lot more mixed. I don't know if Gruden would have taken a chance on fourth and1 in certain situations. It's a different person. I don't know."
Receiver Jerry Rice said Gruden was responsible for bringing him to Oakland and it will be odd facing him Sunday.
"The main reason I'm with the Raiders is because of Jon Gruden," Rice said. "I felt like I needed someone with a lot of intensity. He pretty much challenged me every day. It's going to be a little unusual going up against him. But we have to be professional. I'm sure he wants to win, and I want to win. It's going to be the ultimate matchup -- you've got the No. 1 offense (Raiders) against the No. 1 defense (Bucs)."
A CHALLENGE: Despite a 41-24 win over Tennessee, Oakland was penalized 14 times for 127 yards Sunday. Safety Charles Woodson was called for three of the infractions, including two for pass interference.
An upset Woodson said he has challenged himself to perform better this weekend.
"My play out there was unacceptable for the team, and it won't get it done for the Super Bowl," he said. "So (Sunday), I will be ready to play."
The Raiders said they look forward to the challenge of playing against the best defense.
"We know going in they have a great defense, but every week we see a lot of teams at their best, and we look forward to ... fighting Tampa, putting pressure against them," Raiders running back Charlie Garner said.
HOME SWEET HOME: When the Raiders play in San Diego during the regular season, they usually have thousands, if not tens of thousands, of fans in the stands. Rice said he expects more of the same Sunday.
"It's almost like Raider Nation," Rice said. "I was so surprised we had so many fans here. You look up and see the silver and black. It's just like a home game."
THAT'S MR. RICE: With Callahan staying away, Rice was essentially the team spokesman at the press conference. "I've been around so long, I know how to deal with things," Rice said. "I can be political if I have to."
FAN FRENZY: Crowds in Oakland celebrating the win set a bonfire, threw bottles and rocks and smashed windows along several blocks a few miles from the Coliseum.
Police made about 20 arrests after the street violence broke out along International Boulevard. An auto repair shop was burned, and investigators were looking into that fire Monday.
Police closed some areas in an effort to control the violence and used rubber pellets to help disperse the crowd, which was broken up by 3 a.m.
AGE AND WISDOM: Much has been made about the age of the Raiders, with six starters older than 35.
It should come as no surprise it was the "old guys" with the greatest appreciation of Oakland's accomplishment.
"You never know how special it is when you play in this league," said cornerback Rod Woodson, in his third Super Bowl. "If you are a veteran, you appreciate it because you know how hard it is to get to."
At 40, receiver Rice is the oldest member, playing in his fourth Super Bowl.
"The old man is still running, and I'm just like fine wine and having a great time," Rice said.
IN IT TO WIN IT: Like the Bucs, the Raiders say they aren't just here for the thrill and are determined to leave as champions. "The idea isn't just to get here," running back Charlie Garner said. Said Kennedy: "Very rarely is second place remembered. We didn't come all this way, we didn't put in all the work that we did to come here and stand around."
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I think we let the other teams talk, and the Bucs have got some good ones over there, so I know they are going to say a lot of stuff this week. We might have some guys that step up to the plate and say some things. We'll see what happens." -- Rod Woodson on the trash talking he expects.
QUOTE OF THE DAY II: "My stomach just went right to my esophagus. It's happiness, pure joy." -- Raiders running back Tyrone Wheatley on the feeling he got after winning the AFC Championship Game.

Morning Dance,`` which came out in 1979, has been Spyro Gyra`s only Top-40 hit since the jazz fusion band was formed seven years ago, and leader Jay Beckenstein said the song`s commercial success was a quirk that he does not expect to repeat.
`` `Morning Dance` was a lucky shot. It just happened to go that way,``
he said. ``The record company picked it just because it was the title tune and backed it with some aggressive marketing.

I would like some advice for plants for a new border, it is about 8ft X 30ft, quite heavy clay and has no shade. The complication is that there is a concrete storm drain not terribly far below the surface. I have had Rhodedendrons in it until recently but they never did very well and I believe it was a problem with the concrete.
I had a look round and found these plants and would like some advice on their suitability

President-elect Barack Obama votes with the majority when it comes to timing his vacations in Hawaii: Christmas week, which he's currently spending with family and friends in Kailua, and early August, when he took his children to see his grandmother, are the peak periods of travel demand for the islands.
That might seem obvious, but timeshare exchanger Interval International provides some specifics in its new resort directory that can help those planning to vacation at times of lower demand — and presumably lower prices. The four highest-demand weeks, by the way, are Nos. 5, 31, 51 and 52 — that's timeshare speak, which translates in 2009 to the weeks of travel starting Jan. 30-Feb. 1, July 31-Aug. 2, Dec. 18-20 and Dec. 25-27, according to Redweek.com
So what are the times of lowest demand? First, the bad news: Unlike many destinations, Hawaii is truly popular (a "red week," in timeshare parlance) year-round. Thus its "low season" is really a "less high" season. But even the gentler dips of the Hawaii market can provide noticeable benefits for bargain hunters or solitude seekers. That said, there are eight weeks at the (not-so-deep) bottom of Interval International's scale: Nos. 19, 37-38, 43, 45-46 and 49-50. For 2009, that's travel on weeks starting May 8-10; Sept. 11-13 and 18-20; Oct. 23-25, Nov. 6-8 and 13-15; and Dec. 4-6 and 11-18. Bonus for those May-October travelers: generally sunnier skies and warmest weather.
Almost as "slow" — again, in relative terms — as those halcyon days are weeks 16-17 (starting April 17-19 and 24-26), 20-21 (May 15-17 and 22-24), 34-36 (Aug. 21-23 and 28-30, Sept. 4-6), 39 (Sept. 25-27), 41-42 (Oct. 9-11 and 16-18) and 48 (Nov. 27-29), according to Interval International.
The also-rans for peak-period title holder: week 25 (starting June 19-21) and, just behind it, weeks 7 (Feb. 13-15) and 26-27 (June 26-28 and July 3-5). Somehow I don't think our president-to-be will be making it out for Presidents Day (isn't every day Presidents Day when you're president?) or the Fourth of July this year. But Sasha and Malia's new school gets out the first week of June — that's week 23 to those keeping track — so there's plenty of time to schedule another summer trip, peak demand or no. Of course, that may depend on how the economy's doing — just as it will for the rest of us.

Sigurdsson rescues point for nervy Spurs
Champions League qualification places set to go down to the wire

Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 2: Tottenham Hotspur's derby victory over Arsenal and the accompanying sense of euphoria seems a long time ago. It was only at the beginning of last month that André Villas-Boas's team beat their neighbours to stride seven points clear of them. It felt like a comfortable buffer for Champions League qualification.
There was the elation of a late equaliser at White Hart Lane, from Gylfi Sigurdsson, but this felt like a game that they needed to win and only a fourth point from an available 12 had them casting backward glances.
Arsenal are within striking distance again and Tottenham's control of their destiny has loosened. Villas-Boas's men must still play Manchester City at home and travel to Chelsea, which is taking on all the hallmarks of a showdown.
There was plenty to like about Everton's performance and for most of the second half it had looked as though Kevin Mirallas's fine individual goal would secure a significant victory for them, one to fire their own Champions League hopes. Even after Sigurdsson's goal, Hugo Lloris needed to make a brave block from the man of the match, Victor Anichebe, to deny the visitors.
At the full-time whistle there were no boos from the home crowd, yet the tension that had bubbled throughout remained unmistakable. Without the injured Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Jermaine Defoe, Tottenham had fallen short, while Everton could also harbour regrets. The coming weeks will be unmissable.
Everton had arrived as the form team, bristling with belief that a top-four finish remains within their gift and they responded well to the early concession to Emmanuel Adebayor. It was hoped that the goal would settle Tottenham and, indeed, the striker's own nerves. Adebayor has struggled for sureness and touch yet he stretched to prod in Jan Vertonghen's whipped cross from the left. Only 33 seconds had elapsed.
But Everton pressed and they harried. They threw themselves into the challenges. The Tottenham captain Michael Dawson was panicked into a loose ball, which Leon Osman intercepted and curled wide of the far post and after Ross Barkley had won a corner, the visitors equalised.
It was a soft one to give away. Lloris has enjoyed an excellent debut season in the Tottenham goal but he was boxed in by Anichebe, on Leighton Baines's deep delivery before he attempted to come for the ball only to fail to get there. Phil Jagielka muscled his way over the back of Vertonghen to head down and past Lloris.
There was a jumpiness about Tottenham, which was epitomised by Kyle Walker's reaction to Lewis Holtby's overhit cross-field pass to him. The right back leapt and punched the ball like an angry beach volleyballer.
Villas-Boas lived every moment on the touchline, barking orders, whistling and riding the waves of emotion.
The first half flatlined after the goals, with athleticism to the fore, rather than quality to unclog the congestion but David Moyes made a change early in the second half, sending on the striker Nikica Jelavic for Barkley, and his positivity was rewarded immediately.
There was a hesitancy about Tottenham after Anichebe worked the ball towards Mirallas, with Vertonghen unable to react decisively and Scott Parker falling into the Everton attacker's slipstream. Mirallas ran at Steven Caulker, jinked one way, then the other and drove a low right-footed shot into the far corner to send Moyes into raptures on the touchline.
Tottenham raised the intensity. Mousa Dembélé's shot flicked off John Heitinga for Tim Howard to paw up and against the crossbar while Clint Dempsey and Walker went close from distance. But Everton defended stoutly while they also flickered on the counter.
The home crowd took out their frustration on the referee Andre Marriner while they booed Villas-Boas's decision to withdraw Dembélé for Tom Huddlestone; Dembélé had looked one of the more likely players to create something, although he had tired.
The game came to the boil in dramatic fashion. Dempsey dummied Walker's low cross and Adebayor steered a shot past Tim Howard only to see the ball rebound off a post but Sigurdsson was on hand to score.
And yet Everton might have snatched the victory. The excellent Anichebe got the better of Dawson to find himself one-on-one with Lloris but the goalkeeper made a vital block, then Jelavic shot straight at him in injury-time.

A recent study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology showed that rosacea can be exacerbated by cinnamon.
Rosacea is an acne-like condition seen in adults. It can take several forms, but commonly presents as pimples on the nose and cheeks. The study reports on a woman with mild rosacea who started taking oral cinnamon oil pills to treat her diabetes. Two weeks after starting the cinnamon pills, her rosacea became much worse.
When she stopped the cinnamon supplements, her rosacea improved. Interestingly, whenever she ate any type of cinnamon after this, her again rosacea worsened.
Using cinnamon to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels has been growing in popularity. It's thought that some properties of cinnamon might act like natural insulin in your body and might decrease your blood sugar levels. Clinical evidence for how effective cinnamon is at lowering blood sugar or cholesterol, however, has been minimal thus far.
Cinnamon certainly does act as a vasodilator, that is, it dilates blood vessels. As one of the main problems in rosacea is dilated blood vessels on the face, it's likely that cinnamon could worsen these blood vessels and make rosacea worse. Dilated blood vessels can also lead to increased inflammation, which would also worsen rosacea.

The Topeka Capitol Journal reports that after breifly closing once this year due to a lack of funds, a shelter that serves homeless families in 11 southeast Kansas counties is getting ready to close permanently as its state funding declines.
Approximately 350 people a year, most of them children, stay at The Choices Family Emergency Shelter in Pittsburg. The facility ids run by the nonprofit Southeast Kansas Community Action Program and has been relying on grants from the Kansas Housing Resources Corp. to cover an annual shortfall of $190,000.
Shelter operators now plan to close the facility for good on July 15. The shelter has seven employees, and housed nine families, including 26 children.

New York City Domestic Violence Attorney
What's Love Got to Do with It: Violence at Home
If you or a loved one is a victim of domestic violence there are ways to get help. National and state organizations aim to provide assistance and support for abused women all over the country. The National Battered Women's Law Project is headquartered right here in New York at 275 7th Avenue, Suite 1206. A more extensive list of national organizations and hotlines can be found at http://feminist.org/911/crisis.html. The New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is based in Albany, but you can call toll-free at any time to get immediate help and support at (800) 818-0656.
There are also many women's shelters throughout New York City where you can find safe haven if you believe that you are in physical danger. The city provides emergency housing for victims of domestic violence at thirty-nine confidential locations throughout the city. To gain access to these shelters, call 311 or the twenty-four hour toll-free number of the New York City Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 621-HOPE (4673).
The city also provides many valuable services including counseling and free legal help if you decide to take your abuser to court. Visit http://www.nyc.gov/html/ocdv/html/services/services.shtml to access more information about New York City's domestic violence relief program. Once you have sought help from one of these organizations, you have the right to take further action in a court of law.
Spousal & Child Abuse, Harassment, Restraining Orders, Threats of Violence and More
Orders of Protection
There are many provisions in the law to help victims of domestic violence. A valuable resource that you can utilize is an order of protection, which can be obtained from any court near where you live. A temporary order will last two weeks, after which you will go back to court and have your case heard by a judge. Orders of protection can protect you from any abuser: you do not have to be married to the person against whom you seek an order of protection. You can get an order of protection in either a Family Court or a Criminal Court, or both at the same time. If you choose to get an order of protection, a judge can order the abuser:
A judge can also protect your children: you may be able to require that any visitation between your children and your abuser be supervised. If you obtain an order of protection in Family Court, the judge can award you legal custody of any children you have with your abuser.
If your abuser violates an order of protection, call the police, who can arrest your abuser. You also have the options of filing a "violation petition" in Family Court, speaking to the District Attorney's office or another local prosecutor's office, or going to a Criminal Court. If you prove to a judge that your abuser violated the order of protection, the judge can put him on probation, change the order of protection, or sentence the abuser to jail time.
New Domestic Violence Legislation
Domestic violence is finally getting the attention it deserves from lawmakers.
Another important new law that became effective on July 7, 2009, deals with employment discrimination. The law states that if you are a victim of domestic violence, you are protected from being fired or from being refused employment based on your status as a victim of domestic violence. It also prevents discrimination in how much victims of domestic violence are paid, or in the terms, conditions and privileges of employment.
Perhaps the most important new law went into effect on December 15, 2009. It prohibits any state or local government from requiring you to contact your abuser in order to meet eligibility for services or benefits. This means that the court cannot require you to see or speak to your abuser in order to gain access to any services or benefits that the court has given you. The court is required to provide someone to meet with your abuser, and then report back to you. This person is required to protect your privacy, confidentiality, and current location.
Two other important new laws protect the identities of people who change their names, and extend the law regarding mandatory arrests. The law regarding name changes became effective July 7, 2009. The law states that judges have the right to seal court documents and other records in name change cases. Also, in most situations when you change your name, you have to publish the new name in a local paper, but judges now have the power to waive this, so your new name can be kept secret. You can also have the documents sealed and waive the publication of your new name in a newspaper at the begining of court proceedings, rather than after the final decision has been reached. The mandatory arrest law is simply an extension of the previous law that requires a mandatory arrest for family offenses. The law is extended for two more years until September 1, 2011.
For a list of other laws passed regarding domestic violence, visit http://www.opdv.state.ny.us/law/summ_year/index.html
Types of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence not only includes physical abuse, but also mental, verbal, and emotional abuse. In many situations, non-physical abuse leads to physical abuse – sometimes even to murder.
Although women are the primary victims of domestic abuse, especially violent abuse, men can be victims as well in both same-sex and opposite sex relationships. One of the most important steps in breaking free of an abusive or violent relationship is to recognize the situation as abusive. The various forms of domestic violence and abuse include:
Because of the psychological aspect of domestic abuse, many abused people look to themselves to find things to change, while in reality it is their partner who has the problem. This is why it is extremely important, if you are close to someone who may be in an abusive relationship, to provide help and support. Once a person who is being abused has recognized the situation for what it is, he or she can begin to seek help. Please feel free to call our office and set up a consultation about this.

Posted on 11/08/2012 1:41:18 AM PST by Morgana
An armed masked man who robbed a Warren convenience store on Tuesday also told the clerk at gunpoint to vote for President Barack Obamas re-election campaign.
Reports said the black man, who wore a gray sweatshirt and had a white bandana covering his nose and lower face, robbed the Convenient Food Mart at 3120 Parkman Road N.W. at gunpoint. Witnesses told police he pointed the gun at the clerk and repeatedly asked who he voted for in the presidential election.
The clerk said he was not allowed to vote. The gunman then said Vote for Obama. This is Obama (expletive) before fleeing, reports said.
Reports said the man walked into the store at about 8 p.m. Tuesday and pointed the gun at a customer about 15 feet from the door. The masked man demanded the customer give him everything, reports said.
The man then turned to the clerk and ordered him to empty the cash register. Reports said the clerk handed the man money and the suspect then reached over the counter and grabbed the cash register drawer.
(Excerpt) Read more at wkbn.com ...
Assuming this isn't some made-up thing to illustrate what life will be like now that Obama's been re-elected — oh, who am I kidding. It doesn't matter whether it's made up or not, this is life in Obama's America. Everything you own is Obama's. And the thug is Obama's base.
At least the thug is honest about what he is doing, and doesn't do it under color of law.
Even without naming Obama, we would have known the robber was a Democrat because when the clerk told him it was illegal for him to vote, the robber still told him to vote.
I read in another article that immediately after the robber left, Obama popped his head in the door and said "I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message."
I would much prefer the punk robbing me than the general government. The petty tyranny can be effectively dealt with at the point of contact. The entrenched tyrant requires much more drastic measures.
Is this the Hardcore Pawn type you were talking about? :)
The correct answer is: "Mr Smith & Mr Wesson".
"Mr Mossberg" is a good answer as well.
That right there is funny. Thanks for the laugh.
That WAS Obama!
"If it is now believed that my fellow men may sacrifice me in any manner they please for the sake of whatever they deem to e their own good, if they believe that they may seize my property simply because they need it - well, so does any burglar. There is only this difference: the burglar does not ask me to sanction his act."

The horror and fascination of it all springs to life as you explore these ruins. You will pause at a vantage point overlooking the Forum where numerous foundations, columns and arches have survived the religious, civil and commercial hub of imperial Rome.
Continue your tour by tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain famous in the movie " A Roman Holiday". Then drive by the Spanish Steps, Pantheon and Piazza Navona designed by Bernini. Religious and artistic highlights abound during your walk through the Vatican. Gaze in awe at the symmetry of the Piazza San Pietro and the enormity of St. Peters, the worlds largest church. Then time permitting, enter the Sistine Chapel and marvel at Michelangelos awe-inspiring painted ceiling. In the late afternoon scenic drive back to the pier.

text: The formula that worked so well in Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things is trotted out again in Bloodbath in Psycho Town. A motion-picture production crew, comprised largely of jerks and satyrs, descends upon a small town. As the crew members try to film a horror flick, they are picked off one at a time by a mysterious hooded killer. There's every indication that the film-within-a-film will end up better than what we're actually seeing. Look at the title, and guess what you're in for in the last reel.

TEMECULA – Six Temecula high school seniors were honored as Students of the Month on February 13 by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce (TVCC). The students were recognized by their families, teachers, principals, the business community, and locally elected officials. This is the 23rd year the TVCC Student of the Month Program has honored students in the Temecula Valley.
Chaparral High School – Adrian Iliescu
Adrian Iliescu says the greatest obstacle he's overcome in life so far is himself. He says that at the beginning of his high school career at Chaparral High School, he was struggling with his grades and felt he was lacking confidence. At the beginning of his junior year, he knew something needed to change. He decided to commit himself to school, assert himself more and not be afraid of judgment. Adrian says, "I've learned that all I need to do is 'pretend' to be confident and it will come." Adrian's digital photography teacher David Carlson says, "Adrian is quiet, but confident when he's working with computers and programs. He's on top of his game and is always willing to lend a hand."
Adrian loves working with computers and aspires to major in computer science and ultimately work in Information Technology (IT) after college.
Linfield Christian HIgh School – Madison Pledger
English and AP Language teacher Melissa Blades describes Madison as, "joyful, articulate, and hard-working." She says, "Madie is honestly one of my favorite people. She is strong and courageous in her beliefs and she has become such an amazing leader on campus in recent years." Madison says she did not become a real Christian until her sophomore year and that it has been, "the best decision I have ever made." Madison is both a soccer player and a student leader. Mrs. Blades says, "Despite her busy schedule, she always gives 100% of her effort in all she does." Madison will be attending Point Loma Nazarene University next fall where she will study nursing.
Rancho Christian High School – Baron Huang
Baron Huang came to Rancho Christian High School from his native China knowing very little of American culture or the English language. In a short time, he has adapted to the lifestyle, learned the language and is living much like the typical American teen. He picked up the game of football so quickly that he was named "Lineman of the Year." AP Chemistry teacher Michael Rea says one of Baron's finest traits is that "he doesn't compromise his standards." Mr. Rea says, "Baron is an intelligent, hard working young man with a great deal of ambition." Upon graduation, Baron says he hopes to stay in California and study mechanical engineering.
Temecula Preparatory High School – Jeanette Burke
Temecula Preparatory Principal Terri Marek says, "Jeanette is the type of student who is comfortable in her own skin." English teacher Shannon Jonker says, "Jeanette is one of the most unique, passionate, and responsible students I've had. She's herself no matter where she is, and she always sticks to what she believes in." Mrs. Jonker has taught Jeanette in English as well as in the ASB student council for the past three years. She says, "Jeanette is anything but a follower. She will stay true to herself and her vision, follow through with her commitments, and make everyone feel included and inspired." Jeanette says the greatest lesson she has learned in life so far is to "finish what you start." She says, "Once you make a commitment to something, you should follow it through."
Great Oak High School – Roge Karma
English teacher January King says, "Roge is insightful and articulate, and he has a sense of humor and maturity that separates him from the crowd." An accomplished academic and athlete, Roge carries a 4.6 GPA and plays travel ice hockey, high school hockey, and lacrosse. He says, "One of the biggest lessons I've learned so far is to manage my time and persevere." Mrs. King says a trait she finds most impressive about Roge is that, "Intuitively he knows how to improve a situation, whether it be moving it forward through insight, or through using his natural charisma to lighten the mood. It is a skill that I believe cannot be taught, and he carries it with him effortlessly."
Roge says he has always been interested in both lawmaking and the political process and would like to pursue an undergraduate degree in history or political science and then go on to law school. He has been accepted to the University of Michigan and UC Berkeley.
Temecula Valley High School – Brian J. Hizon
AP Environmental Science teacher Anthony Mendez describes Brian as, "a leader both in the classroom and on the field. He is very intelligent and constantly performs at a high level on all assignments and exams. Brian is the kind of student every teacher wants in class, and he is the type of student you know will accomplish great things in life."
Brian has a heart condition that required surgery at age 13. He says the experience has taught him to, "live in the moment and always live life to the fullest". Mr. Mendez says, "Brian is a leader both in the classroom and on the field. He is very intelligent and consistently performs at a high level on all assignments and exams."

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, I had the chance to review a prepublication edition of Barry Bandstra's Genesis 1-11: A Handbook on the Hebrew Text (Waco: Baylor University Press, 2008; Buy from Amazon.ca or Amazon.com). As a result of the nice blurb I wrote for the publishers, I received a free copy of the book when it was published. As it turns out I ended up with two free copies, and while I like to read, I find reading one at a time works a bit better.
To make a long story short, what all this means is that I have an extra copy of Bandstra's new book — it's actually still in the original shrink wrap! And then I thought since I have been so inconsistent in blogging for the last number of months, I wanted to reward my faithful readers who kept me on their blogrolls and continued checking for new posts (and even emailed me to see if everything was alright!).
Since I can't give everyone a new book, I need some method of picking a winner. I could do something random like I have done before, but I figured I should somehow benefit from this massive giveaway. So here's the deal. I will give the book to the individual who leaves the most humorous anecdote, joke, or faux pas about teaching or learning biblical Hebrew. Perhaps it was something another student did in class or a humorous way that your professor tried to teach a particular aspect of Hebrew grammar — it can even be a humorous resource for teaching Hebrew (a comic, short video, whatever!). I'm pretty much open to anything related the Hebrew that will make me smile and/or chuckle — I just want to give away a book. After one week, I (and perhaps my TA) will decide on a winner. And then presto! I will send you Bandstra's book for absolutely no charge!
So let the free book giveaway begin!
(For those waiting with bated breath for my next "Yahweh – A Moral Monster?" post, I have it pretty much written and may upload it later today. Right now I have to go shopping with my teenage daughter… so pray for me! 🙂 )

Let Me Die In Peace...
Alot of things have been going through my life lately and after all i've been through, now i just don't care at all, my sister had a baby girl the other day, i really couldn't care less, her wedding is in a week, i can't be bothered to go, i don't 'feel' depressed i don't think, i just would rather be left to die quietly in the corner, i am sick and tired of people coming into my life trying to push me to do something.
I could care less if my friends get married and have kids. Also, could care less about my coworker's best friend, girlfriend.
Honestly, I feel like your lack of motivation comes from the fact that you cant relate with anyone. You should make them relate to you. Make them feel ur pain.
You are not alone, I can empathize with your lack of motivation. Whilst there are major events happening in the lives of those closest, it can sometimes make us feel worse I think. Don't be hard on yourself, you can't help feeling the way you're feeling. Suppose your choices are to withdraw and not attend or 'put on a brave face' and give it a go - who knows it may be hard, but you may find some light moment that lifts your spirits - even if it's a millisecond, it's one more than you had today. Support is here for you whatever you decide.

Pakistan-China ties to reach new high: Pakistani leader
Source:Xinhua Published: 2013-3-21 8:38:10
The China-Pakistan relationship would gain further traction under the new Chinese leadership and ascend to a new high, President Asif Ali Zardari told Xinhua in a recent interview.
"(Chinese) President
Xi Jinping
especially focused on the need to transfer the narrative of our time-tested and all-weather friendship to the younger generation through enhanced cultural and people-to-people contacts," Zardari recalled of his meeting with Xi last year.
Zardari congratulated Xi last Thursday on his election as the new Chinese president. Two days later, he discussed bilateral relations with Xi over the phone.
"I found both President Xi and Premier Li (Keqiang) are charismatic and visionary leaders, and both have a deep understanding of history and culture," Zardari said.
"I am sure that on their watch, Pakistan-China relations will grow from strength to strength and gain further momentum," he said.
The Pakistani leader said the new Chinese leadership is experienced with exceptional perceptiveness and foresight.
"They have worked their way through every level of the Chinese political system and therefore are well placed to handle all social issues," he said.
"They understand the pulse of the people and are attached to them."
Zardari told Xinhua what impressed him most was the meausures taken by the new government to improve efficiency and delivery of justice.
These measures are already starting to pay off, he said, voicing confidence the new leadship was sure to overcome impediments to China's progress.
As for the "Chinese Dream", which Xi has promoted to achieve rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the well-being of the Chinese people, Zardari said it was a great idea that had gained popularity and recognition among the public.
"The idea encompasses greater promotion of social welfare and rapid economic growth which would reap enormous benefits for the common people," he said.
And a strong and prosperous China would be beneficial to the world, as it would create tremendous business opportunities, he said.
"As a neighbor and close friend of China, Pakistan looks to benefit fully from her economic development through enhanced connectivity and trade," the president said.

- "Liberty not only means that the individual has both the opportunity and the burden of choice; it also means that he must bear the consequences of his actions and will receive praise or blame for them. Liberty and responsibility are inseparable. A free society will not function or maintain itself unless its members regard it as right that each individual occupy the position that results from his action and accept it as due to his own action. Though it can offer to the individual only chances and though the outcome of his efforts will depend on innumerable accidents, it forcefully directs his attention to those circumstances that he can control as if they were the only ones that mattered. Since the individual is to be given the opportunity to make use of circumstances that may be known only to him and since, as a rule, nobody else can know whether he has made the best use of them or not, the presumption is that the outcome of his actions is determined by them, unless the contrary is quite obvious."
- "Yet there can be no doubt that the discovery of a better use of things or of one's own capacities is one of the greatest contributions that an individual can make in our society to the welfare of his fellows and that it is by providing the maximum opportunity for this that a free society can become so much more prosperous than others. The successful use of this entrepreneurial capacity (and, in discovering the best use of our abilities, we are all entrepreneurs) is the most highly rewarded activity in a free society, while whoever leaves to others the task of finding some useful means of employing his capacities must be content with a smaller reward."
- "Liberty is essential in order to leave room for the unforeseeable and unpredictable; we want it because we have learned to expect from it the opportunity of realizing many of our aims. It is because every individual knows so little and, in particular, because we rarely know which of us knows best that we trust the independent and competitive efforts of many to induce the emergence of what we shall want when we see it."
- "There can be little doubt that man owes some of his greatest successes in the past to the fact that he has not been able to control social life. His continued advance may well depend on his deliberately refraining from exercising controls which are now in his power. In the past, the spontaneous forces of growth, however much restricted, could usually still assert themselves against the organized coercion of the state. With the technological means of control now at the disposal of government, it is not certain that such assertion is still possible; at any rate, it may soon become impossible. We are not far from the point where the deliberately organized forces of society may destroy those spontaneous forces which have made advance possible."
- "…the rule of law means that government must never coerce an individual except in the enforcement of a known rule, it constitutes a limitation on the powers of all government, including the powers of the legislature…under the rule of law the private citizen and his property are not an object of administration by the government, not a means to be used for its purposes."

With one challenger already in the running and one media report saying she has already decided not to run for re-election, Emporia Rep. Peggy Mast says she is considering her political future.
{wbty_audio audio_id="302" audio_title="Mast: Need to talk it over"}
Mast recently returned to Kansas after spending several weeks overseas.
Mast isn't putting a timeline on her decision. She says she will chat with family members before making an announcement. She also tells KVOE News she wants to ensure there is a quality candidate in line if she doesn't run.
{wbty_audio audio_id="303" audio_title="Mast: A number of things to consider"}
Mast has served the 76th House District, including parts of Lyon, Coffey and Osage counties, since 1997. She ended this past legislative session as the Speaker Pro Tem after serving two years as Assistant Majority Leader. Speculation has already started Mast is in line for a position in the Brownback administration if she decides against running for re-election, but she tells KVOE News she has not been made aware of any position that could be in the offing.
Former Lyon County commissioner Teresa Briggs has already filed for the district seat as a Democrat. The Coffey County Republican, which has reported Mast is indeed stepping aside, also says Jeff Freeman, a Burlington native, one-time lawmaker for the 17th and 60th districts and an NRA representative for nearly a quarter-century, has announced he will file for the seat. Freeman has not returned a phone call from KVOE News seeking comment.
