God's desire is that we live according to what He tells us to do in the Bible.
If do these things, God's blessings will rest on us every day.
Make copies of the two patterns from the links below:
Figure 1: Copy Jonah onto white thin card.
Figure 2: Copy the Fish onto dark blue thin card.
Click here for Fish Pattern
The whale is cut out and displayed. Later when Jonah is spat out, he is
pulled out of the mouth as shown in the photo.
Jonah 1:1 - 3:10.
(Fold Figure 1 vertically, cut out and display Jonah). One day God
spoke to a man named Jonah. God said, "I want you to go to a city
called Nineveh, because the people there do wicked things. I want you
to warn them of what will happen to them." But Jonah did not want to
go. "I won't go!" he shouted and decided to run away as far as he could
go in the opposite direction. Is it right for us to disobey God?
(Let the children respond).
I wonder what he thought as he sailed away that day and watched the shore
disappear over the horizon. When you do wrong things, do you feel
really bad afterwards? (Let the children respond). Do you
then lie and try to cover up what you have done? I'm sure that only
makes you feel worse!
(Begin to cut out the Fish's tail in Figure 2). As the ship sailed
toward Tarshish, Jonah went below deck and found a bed to lie on. He
said to himself, "Ha, I got away with it. Now the Lord won't be able to
send me to Nineveh and put my life in danger there. I'm sure they would
have stoned me alive if I tried to warn them that God is going to destroy
them. But, not me!!" With that happy thought he stretched out and
fell fast asleep.
(Cut out the rest of the Fish). The crew finally realised that
the storm was caused by someone's wickedness. They got together to
find out whose fault it was that such a bad storm had come upon them.
Finally they shouted to the captain, "It must be that man Jonah's fault."
"We've found him, Captain," the sailors cried, "It's his fault that this
terrible storm has come upon us." The captain frowned at Jonah, "My good
man, what have you done wrong? Pray to your God and perhaps He will
help us!" Jonah hung his head in shame and muttered, "I know why this
storm has come. It's because I'm running away from God."
(Cut out Jonah but leave him attached to the Fish). The sea in the
meantime was getting rougher and rougher. The sailors begged Jonah,
"What can we do, man?" Jonah cried out, "Just throw me into the
sea!" The sailors at first didn't want to do this, so they tried to
row the ship to the shore, but the storm only grew worse. At last
the captain shouted, "It's no good men, we will have to throw the Hebrew into
to sea!"
(Hold up the fish and fold Jonah into the Fish's mouth). Jonah
felt himself sliding down the fish's throat and landed with a splash in it's
stomach. What do you think it was like to be in a fish's stomach?
(Let the children respond). I am sure it stank. As the fish
swam and dived, every now and then Jonah would let out a yell, "Oh no, not
again!" And a wave of stomach juices would roll over his head and he
would fight for breath. This went on for three days and three nights
until Jonah was sure that the next time this happened he would be a dead
I am sure that Jonah looked a sight, all bleached white by the fish's juices.
The people must have asked what had happened to him. After he had
told them his experiences in the fish's stomach, they believed God and stopped
doing their wicked things. God then had compassion on them and did not
destroy their city.
"If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching,My Father will love him
and We will come to him,and make our home with him."
Remember, don't be like disobedient Jonah! Obey God and your parents, and
then God's blessings will rest on you every day.
God bless!

text: Maybe it's hearing someone's answer to pray…maybe it's a praise report…or maybe it's hearing that someone you've been praying for has finally come to know the Lord. Whatever it is, joy and thanksgiving almost explodes from us as we listen to others praising and thanking our Heavenly Father. Sharing God's miraculous works is so important to all of us. For when we share…we all become encouraged and uplifted!

DAGUPAN CITY – The city's first women center located at Poblacion Oeste is now ready to cater to the needs of battered and sexually abused women after it opened its doors following its blessing and inauguration on January 19.
Mayor Belen T. Fernandez and Poblacion Oeste Punong Barangay led the ceremonial ribbon cutting along with City Administrator Farah G. Decano, City Legal Officer Ma. Victoria D. Cabrera, City Engineer Virginia V. Rosario, Father Alberto Arenos and the staff of the City Social Welfare and Development Office led by Leah L. Aquino.
"I am filled with joy that we have finally realized our dream of building a center for the welfare and protection of women in our city, which is one of our priority projects in our administration," disclosed Fernandez.
The Women Center was funded by the city government "and its operation cost will be shouldered by the city government," added Fernandez citing that the center will be manned by a social worker, a nurse and a house parent.
In collaboration with Dagupan-Lingayen Archbishop Socrates Villegas, a group of nuns will also help in the center to do values formation for women and help the city in its campaign against prostitution.
"The Church is our partner in this drive and we are fully supporting the thrust of the Church for women," said Fernandez.
The Women Center is the first of the several projects initiated by Fernandez to open this year.
By February, the city will also inaugurate its E-Library, which is just beside the Women Center. The city is now in the process of installing computers in preparation for the formal opening.
Fernandez bares that aside from the two buildings, the city is presently constructing its first Tourism Center building in the same area.
"Very soon we will also start with our Teen Center in this place. We will also construct a long tennis court and an archery field and the construction of SPED classrooms in support of the Department of Education's program on special children," said Fernandez. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO/Jan. 19, 2017)

Day 2 - 1 December 2010
The second day of the trial is mostly spent with procedural issues.
First the judge complains that one of the lawyers is not sitting where he was the day before. The judges stresses the need to stick to the seating order, otherwise he might confuse people. The defence, in turn, complains that the press broke a court order and published photos of the defendants.
The accused enter the court room and seem slightly more relaxed than on the first day.
The lawyer for the youngest accused demands bail for his client because he is unlikely to be convicted. He explains that his client lost both his parents at the age of four, and from the age of ten had to live totally independently. How he has lived a life not knowing in the morning whether he would still be alive in the evening and whether he was going to get anything to eat. That he grew up in archaic society, determined by hunger and survival.
Then a discussion between the judge and one of the lawyers evolves around the issue of an application to object to the so called experts who have determined the age of the youngest defendants. At this stage I have difficulty following the debate. Not because they don't speak clearly but because of the technical jargon. I wonder what the defendants hear through their headphones, how all this is being translated, and I realize that several trials at once are happening. And I wonder how the defendants would explain all this to their best friend in Somalia.

Target costing is addressed in this research work based on statistics and data collection on building developments. Contrary to standard practices that claim target costing should not be based on any distracting previous cost experiences, this paper introduces DEA - Data Envelopment Analysis – a linear programming technique capable of drawing an efficient frontier for a set of performance data (site waste reduction in this research paper). Such performance frontier departs from standard cost estimating practices that deal with average or percentile performance: target values are now obtained according with the best performances a set of observations is capable of displaying: what in normal circumstances is taken as an outlier is now investigated in connection to the causes underneath such outstanding performance. DEA's efficient frontier is akin to the concept of opportunity costs as fundamental to microeconomics. Target setting is exemplified through a site waste evaluation of a number of building sites, each one conducted according to different levels of managerial effort geared to improve this aspect of lean production goal. Results point to the range of management actions that might be chosen by administrative site personnel, in different sets, employing a parsimonious number of them, according to the specific circumstances of each building site.

A graphic designer from the U.K. is recreating the famous car chase scene from the 1968 classic Bullitt using stop-motion footage of slot cars and a tiny little Steve McQueen.
In 1968, when men were men, cars were muscular and CGI was still just a bad idea waiting to be had, Steve McQueen made a film called Bullitt. It remains famous to this day as the big daddy of all car chases, a clash between a '68 Ford Mustang Fastback and a '68 Dodge Charger, two great, snarling monsters of Detroit steel howling their way through the streets and highways of San Francisco. And now, inspired by the release of collectors edition Bullitt slot cars, British graphic designer Steve Day is recreating the whole thing in stop-motion miniature.
He began by building a small set, then took took a few test photos and sent them off to Pioneer Slot Cars, the company producing the Bullitt miniatures. Pioneer liked what it saw and jumped on the bandwagon, sending Day several Mustang and Charger slot cars and enough Steve McQueen figurines to ensure he could get the job done right. Thus equipped, Day filmed a short trailer which has since turned up on sites ranging from Jalopnik to Top Gear.
"This being my first attempt at set building and my first attempt at stop-motion photography, the trailer that I produced was a test really, a way of learning the process and seeing if it could even be done," Day told the New York Times. "The full movie will be produced with a much higher frame rate, with far more authentic detailing and at least eight full sets to shoot on as opposed to the one set I used for the trailer."
Day said the full chase scene will be ready for release a little later this year, and it's gone well enough that he expects to do more such projects in the future. He's already got some mini Mini Coopers ready to recreate scenes from The Italian Job (hopefully the original) but said he might up end doing a Dukes of Hazzard project first.

ZW3D, one of the world's leading suppliers of advanced CAD/CAM solutions for the manufacturing industry, recently announced the global availability of ZW3D 2018, which is positioned as a CAD&CAM expert with enhanced performance and user-friendliness from design to manufacturing.
Enhanced Layer Manager and Part Attribute
When the product design is getting increasingly complex, classifying the shapes or components by layer and setting the information quickly by intuitional part attribute form are become important in the design process.
In ZW3D 2018, Layer Manager gets easier to use. It provides a new "Category" attribute to layers so that users can group layers and have more interactions between Manager and entities inside the graphics area.
And the upgraded Part Attribute Form helps designers to manage all part attributes more easily, including standard attributes and user attributes, which can be edited in Excel or shared by Excel file.
PMI Improvements
More tools are provided for 3D annotation, such as chamfer, hole callout and bounding tools. Linear dimension becomes more flexible supporting Auto/Horizontal/Vertical methods. It's easier for designers to get richer dimensions and annotations on 3D models.
MISUMI Library Integration
Empowered by MISUMI Mold Ex Press, a 3D CAD library for standard components of press die and plastic mold, users can quickly select and locate the parts from more than 10,000 types of part models,reducing mold design time by 50%.
Upgraded CAM Features
5-Axis strategies capability is expanded on 5X Plane, Side and ISO cut operations. End-users now can happily generate multiple layers of tool-path in one shot, particularly 5-Axis roughing in specific cases. Also, customized frame function is supported in Flat Finish operation that further simplifies programming.
"ZW3D 2018 is a complete solution that brings your idea to design and manufacturing easier," said Joh Li, CTO of ZW3D in charge of R&D center. "We keep working on providing streamlined workflows to reduce errors and waste, which helps our customers to output products faster with higher quality and lower cost."

Fashion Jewelry to the rescue for your TIC. TIC. BOOM. Anxiety. You know, those BOTHERSOME life questions that we don't have the real answers to? Like…Will I ever be happy? Why hasn't the right one come along yet? Will I always work at a dead-end job? Will I ever get my dream apartment/home? Cityrocka Perry gets that it's not always easy facing the day-to-day challenges of this crazy world, but a STYLE ACCESSORY ASSIST is on the way. Someone please dial 911, yeah. yeah. Not necessary, all thanks to British genius Designer BAbe Charlotte Garnett and her very own worrisome tendencies.
About Charlotte Garnett's Anti-Anxiety Fashion Jewelry
Quit toying with the buttons on your blouse and focus on this very fashionable blog post. So yup, Charlotte Garnett isn't just the owner of Charlotte Garnett Jewellery Design. She's also a client. Turns out that she was super stressed to the max while attending her final year at a fancy art school. Instead of flipping out, Garnett decided to channel that energy into a positive; one that would benefit her and the many friends of hers who was experiencing the same thing. A collection WAS BORN. Cure For the Itch, is comprised of 3 sub collections, each targeted at relieving repetitive anxiety actions like nail-biting, chain-smoking or fidgeting. Each fashion jewellery piece is specially crafted to promote a relaxed spirit of playfulness and fun
Why You Need to Break Your Bad Habits Now
Because you outchea in these street looking all crazy, that's why. And besides that, nail-biting, constantly fiddling with your clothes, and endless smoking are making people think exactly what how Luanne de Lesseps is—-so be cool. Don't be like, all uncool. And this fashion accessories blogger doesn't think that it can get any easier to fix your bad habit. You just stick them in your pocket or wear one of the baubles out, with no one being the wiser. And if someone does ask, it even sounds cool to say that you're wearing a spinner ring like the one pictured above.
You know you want to run your fingers along these jewelry pieces right now.
Getting that urge to chain smoke? No—you're good.
Still, not quite sold? Then perhaps you might want to find your calm in crystals. Google it. They are rumored to help with depression and a host of other nervous triggers. Until next time, I'm off to shave my head, twist my legs into a yoga pose and locate my ZEN.

Black Cats boss Steve Bruce is on the lookout for a temporary replacement for the injured Craig Gordon and has confirmed he has made an approach for the highly-rated England keeper.
"We've asked the question of City and we now just have to wait and see what they say," said Bruce. "But the timetable is not up to us on when we get an answer, it's up to them.
"With these new 25-man squad rules, clubs don't have to name their confirmed squads until the end of August, so if they wanted to, City could delay any decisions on their squad until then."
Hart, who kept 12 clean sheets in 41 appearances during an impressive loan spell at Birmingham City last season, opened the door for another temporary move away from Eastlands after emphasising his desire for first team football.
"All I want is to play in the Man City first team – but if I wasn't I'd have to reconsider," said Hart earlier this week.
"Shay [Given] has recovered from his shoulder injury and we are both fit and raring to go and we both want that place."
He added: "[Sitting on the bench] doesn't interest me. All I want to do is play in the first team."

The castle in Kętrzyn...
In around 1329, on a hill on the Guber
river, the Teutonic knight erected a wooden fort (Rastenburg).
It was raised on the charred remains of a Prussian fortified
village Rast, captured by the Knights in the 13th century.
Today that site is occupied by the fortified church of St
George. The purpose of the fort and its crew was to defend
that part of the Teutonic state against frequent Lithuanian
attacks; Rastenburg was also a staging post in crusades to
pagan Lithuania. The fort was twice conquered and burnt by
Lithuanians, first by troops commanded by duke Olgierd in
1345, and two years later by duke Kiejstut. Each time it was
reconstructed and the nearby settlement filled with new inhabitants.
The Commander of Bałga, Johan Schindekopf, granted a charter
to the settlement on 11th November 1357. At around the same
time the construction of a brick castle located in the south-east
corner of the town's fortified walls was undertaken.
Originally the castle consisted of three wings closed to the
east by a wall with a gate. The great hall contained a refectory,
rooms for the Teutonic official - procurator, and a chapel.
The castle was surrounded with a wall with three corner towers
and a gatehouse leading to the town. The castle and the adjacent
manor contained a kitchen, a brewery, a mill, a bakery, a
granary, a storehouse, an armoury, a powder magazine, a chapel
and a dungeon.
During the Thirteen Years' War, in 1454, the burghers overpowered
the castle. They imprisoned and then executed the Order's
Procurator Wolfgang Sauer. After 1525, in Ducal Prussia, the
castle was turned into a seat for the local administration
official known as a starosta.
At the end of January 1945, after the town had been seized
by the Red Army, the castle as well as most of the old town
of Kętrzyn were burnt. The castle was reconstructed in 1962-1967.
The external appearance of the castle was reproduced according
the19th century drawings made by C. Steinbrecht, which meant
that the castle regained its Gothic style.
At present the castle houses the Wojciech Kętrzyński Museum,
the Municipal Library and the Zamek Cultural Centre. The Museum
collects exhibits connected with the history of the town and
region. There are many arts objects, examples of craftsmanship
and exhibits recording the town's history and documents from
archives, which were preserved in the early post-war years
by Zofia Licharowa, who organised the museum. Many historically
priceless objects were saved from being damaged or dispersed.
They also included parts of interior decoration in palaces
and mansions near Kętrzyn, objects from damaged and looted
churches, the town council's archives, and remnants of the
pre-war collections of the Heimatenmuseum Rastenburg and the
Prussia Museum in Königsburg.
The Museum holds three permanent exhibitions: Wojciech Ketrzyński
1838-1918, Kętrzyn-Rastenburg 19th and 20th century - a forgotten
image, and Palaces and manors in the administrative district
of Kętrzyn.
The castle also houses an interesting collection of Gothic
sculpture, furniture of the 17th-19th century, a collection
of epitaphs and funeral banners, including a child's funeral
banner of three-year old Botho zu Eulenburg, dating back to
1667, which is a unique exhibit in Europe. The museum library
and archives contain a rich collection of books on religious
matters and a collection of documents from the former town
council's archives.
In front of the castle there is a commemorative plaque, which
reminds of the meeting of two Polish generals, J.H. Dąbrowski
and J. Zajączek, who commanded Polish troops under the French
emperor, Napoleon I Bonaparte. The generals and their soldiers
arrived in Ketrzyn on 21st June 1807 after the battle at Frydland
on 14th June 1807.

How to find free help for low-income seniors?
Nowadays many seniors are living on low incomes. Their major finance sources are social security, a small pension or some form of assistance from the government side. It will always be beneficial to find services for free and discounted rates with few resources. You may inquire in many of the old age homes of the office for aging where you will be able to find different service available at free or discounted price.
Free and discounted service for seniors and their caregivers
Benefits of counseling
Try to figure out, what all options are available with you. There is free counseling office also that will help in getting this type of assistance to adjust your finance. You can find your answer in the form of health insurance, food stamps, and other services with the help of these counselors. It's not always about spending a hefty amount in order to render the service. Act wisely, there are much more options available at cheap prices.
Adult care center
There are many adult daycares that are operational by the government, charity and religious places. Here, they are providing seniors with good meals and facilitate them in spending a good day rather than being alone. These care centers generally demand nominal charges, so it's not going to make a big hole in your finance. They may also provide you a space to spend your day but will ask you to bring your own meals and utilities. Before enrolling your seniors, make a thorough inquiry regarding fee and services.
Free dentures
This is one of the most important utilities for the senior group and various type of charges are bankable for its fixation. You can try by contacting the government hospitals or state dental associations to find the place for free dentures. There are many hospitals which are providing free or low-cost dental programmes and have the facts about 2020 Medicare advantage comparison on the site http://www.medicareadvantageplans2020.org
You will get the contact of these hospitals simply by searching on the internet or make a visit to state dental association. After doing basic formalities, these options will be available for you at minimal cost and it'll save your modest finance.
Family caregiver support programs
There programs as offered by government and some volunteer organizations. These caregivers are well trained and will provide care and counseling to their elders. They will also look after the physical and emotional wellbeing of the seniors. They are not to replace your efforts but just to make some extra addition from their side.

Hello dear readers and fellow scrappers… if you read the post before this one you know I just spent 2 weeks without my computer! Okay well after the first week I cheated a bit or I wouldn't have a great new freebie for you 😉 but I never have been a very good patient LOL. So why? No computer? Not too much TV or even much reading??? Well I have problems with my tear ducts not draining properly, I am not sure why, but it makes my eyes excessively dry and the details are pretty gross and painful so I will spare you that… but the eye doctor gave me some new medicine Restasis and I am hoping it works! I am not really feeling a lot better but my eyes don't look like they are bleeding anymore, but he did say it would take about 3 months for it to really work, so I will have to take good care of my eyes. If that doesn't work we will be discussing surgery to help open my tear ducts. Doesn't sound fun to me so all you praying people out there please say a prayer for me.
Anyway on to the fun stuff… but please bear with me, quality is far more important to me than quantity so I may not have a new kit each and every week. BUT… before I got the eye news I had started a really fun kit for the "Reach for the Stars" Mix & Match collection at DigiDesign Resort (Pssttt… it's their second birthday and everything is 35% off until Aug 2nd!) and have spent the last few days finishing it up, making sure the quality is up to my standards, and getting a great free sampler ready for you. They are available separately or as a collection and it is a FUN one… especially for those who have little boys! And it's on sale! So here are the kit previews and the freebie will be below … all images are linked. Thanks for stopping by, please leave some love if you like the freebie and Happy Scrapping!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself!
Funny you posted that Asp; given the latest "terrorist" incident. Nutter in car crashes into road barrier - car surrounded closely by armed police, but what if he had passed his terrorism proficiency test, and filled the car with explosives, ready to kill as many of these policemen as possible in a suicide explosion ? If these nutters ever up their game to anything like the IRA, the press might have something to talk about.
I must admit Obs that after seeing it on the news tonight with all the forensic people and police around it I said to my other half "how do they know there's not a hidden device in there just waiting to be triggered and go off killing them". He said...'they will have already checked". Surely it wouldn't take much though to remotely explode a car by butting a tiny device near or in a petrol tank though EEK.
The poice are very brave as no way would I have gone near it
There was no need "to go near it"; surrounded at a safe distance the nutter was going nowhere and could have been "taken out" at any point in the saga. If you look at some of the old footage from N/Ireland, remote controlled devices could safely dispose of potential car bombs. But, as I infer, these amateurs aren't the IRA, although we can no doubt expect more professional players in future, as they return from the ISIS Caliphate.
just head that police are looking for a man seen to be shooting a starting pistol at a crowd of people. They think it may be race related.
Nice one Sid.
Something just doesn't seem quite right with the London thing. I think if he was a terrorist then he'd probably have some weapons or at the very least chosen a vehicle capable of doing much more damage than a little Ford Fiesta. Watching the footage he seemed to be tootling along quite slowly and only picked up the pace when the ambulance behind suddenly put the lights and sirens on. Could be that he'd been up to no good and thought the police were on to him but we'll have to wait and see what comes out of this.
All part of the joys of cultural enrichment !

Now, before you assume the worst and before your mind falls into the gutter: it was a stuffed animal. A baby chicken. It was $11 at the Marchwood shopping center. I was so proud and saved that thing for almost 30 years. It was the the center piece in show & tell in 7th grade. You can only imagine how gripping that was for everyone. 😉

New season of "Penny Dreadful": Not only a horrific pleasure for the eyes, but also for the ears
Two weeks ago the second season of the horror TV series "Penny Dreadful" started on the American Showtime network. If you haven't watched it so far I strongly recommend it. It has great characters, fantastic music – and Eva Green.
"Penny Dreadful" combines a lot of stories and characters from 19th-century Irish and British fiction (known as "Penny dreadfuls"), like Victor Frankenstein and his monster from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and Abraham Van Helsing and Mina Harker from Bram Stoker's "Dracula". They also introduced at the end of season one (spoiler alert) a werewolf formerly known as the character Ethan Chandler (played by Josh Hartnett). In London these characters fight together against supernatural threats.
When a lot of characters are thrown together in one series one might imagine that it is a bit much because there can not be enough time to create a compelling story for each one of them (like we have seen it in the movie "Van Helsing"). But "Penny Dreadful" succeeded in solving this problem by taking their time with building a strong storyline. Of course also good actors can help with that, especially the performance of Eva Green. After every episode she accomplishes of leaving you complety stunned and amazed. With her demonic possession (as far as we know it) they also added something new to the monster universe. Her dark voice and movements driven by possession remind you of scenes of "The Exorcist", but without the special effects. But the cast is generally fitted to the series. They picked a lot of British actors like Harry Treadaway (Dr. Frankenstein) to give the scenery of London a more realistic feeling.
Because of these details it is refreshing to experience a horror TV series, besides "Hannibal", that is produced at the highest stage. They created the city of Victorian London in a very dark way like you can see it in Alan Moore's Comic "From Hell". You notice that every detail on every building was researched with care and historically accurately. This setting is one of the cornerstones that creates the threatening atmosphere in the series. In any alley a person could lure you into a trap and turn into some sort of creature. The city is also authentically dirty like it was in the 19th century (hello cholera). But besides the setting this obscure atmosphere is created too by the unique music of the Polish composer Abel Korzeniowski.
In this Golden Age of television that we live in, major actors feature in episodic series, like Kevin Spacey in "House of Cards" or Matthew McConaughey in "True Detective". But in television music we can also observe a revival. The first time I noticed the work of Korzeniowski was in the movie "A Single Man" where the music literally painted the movie. In "Penny Dreadful" we can see a hint of that also. The orchestra music offers, compared to other television music scores, no leitmotiv. Depending on the scene and situation the music can envelop the audience in a cloak of tragic beauty like in the scene that uncovers Dorian Gray's secret room – and life. Or it creates moments of pure horror when there is combination of cellos with violins and pianos that chill your spine while simultaneously remaining musically interesting.
All in all "Penny Dreadful" has not lost quality so far. Actually it's the opposite – with every episode they leave you in a state of suspence and being more and more enchanted. (Hint for season two)

Mr. Skin Blog
Jill C. Nelson made her auspicious debut in the literary world with a penetrating look at an infamous porn star in John Holmes: A Life in Inches. The interviews and research for that biography had her crossing paths with such legendary ladies as Seka, Serena, and Rhonda Jo Petty, who inspired her to embark on her latest offering, Golden Goddesses: 25 Legendary Women of Erotic Films, 1968-1985. This in-depth exposition delves into the classic era of pornography, from the onset of hardcore in 1968, to the video boom of 1985.
Jill has chronicled tales of showing tail from superstars of the skin screen like Marilyn Chambers, Seka, Veronica Hart, Georgina Spelvin, and plenty more. Women who have moved millions of sex tapes and achieved long-term staying power. Legendary screen sirens from arguably the sexiest time in hardcore history, who risked arrest and reputation to bring us some of the finest onscreen escapades ever filmed. We could wax poetic on these pioneers of porn all day!
Better yet, if it has always been your dream to meet and party with these Golden Goddesses, Jill is having two release parties this week in West Hollywood (details here), and will be joined by a lineup of legendary guests that will blow your mind and your pants: Kay Parker, Veronica Hart, Serena, Rhonda Jo Petty, Georgina Spelvin, Annie Sprinkle, Kitten Natividad, Kelly Nichols, Sharon Mitchell, Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, Nina Hartley, Laurie Holmes, Julia St. Vincent, Raven Touchstone, and Carly Mills (daughter of the late softcore film actress, Barbara Mills).
Now she's giving us the inside scoop on the best actresses ever to appear in hardcore movies, and the ins and outs of the bumping business.
Read the full interview after the jump!... read more
Jill C. Nelson knows her smut. As the co-author of John Holmes: A Life in Inches, (now in its 2nd Edition and available on Amazon.com) she's rubbed down every aspect of legendary porn star John Holmes' life and career- and trust us, that's a lot of rubbing.
Now Jill's working on a new XXX opus, Golden Goddesses: 25 Legendary Women of Erotic Films, 1968-1985, for which she's (sk)interviewed the likes of Marilyn Chambers, Veronica Hart, Juliet Anderson, Georgina Spelvin, and many more.
So we've decided to turn the tables on Jill and find out what makes a historian of hardcore tick- and where she scored those obscure 8mm porn loops.
More after the jump!... read more

At this point you probably know how I feel about Lysse leggings. I LOVE them to the moon and back. Forget the frumpy leggings that dominated the eighties. These leggings are chic with a capital C, yet they're SO comfy. And the quality is amazing too. I have several pairs now and each and every one gets plenty of play…especially in the cold weather months. Nothing is easier than layering an oversized knit sweater with leggings and boots. This makes for a totally pulled together look, but it's a look you can style in no time flat!
For today's outfit, I styled printed leggings from Lysse with a black sweater, gold necklace and metallic trimmed ankle boots. By keeping everything else fairly simple, my leggings had the chance to be the star of the show. When wearing printed leggings, I either like to go the neutral route with the rest of the pieces like I did here, or really go for it and rock mixed prints like I did last month with this fun look.
Now that you've seen why I'm such a huge Lysse fan, I have some great news for you! Lysse is extending an offer for 25% off your first order and free shipping on orders over $50 to our readers who sign up HERE! Is that a great deal or what? Sign up lovelies! After that first order, you'll want more Lysse leggings…That I can promise you!
In case you need some shopping inspiration, I'm loving their leather ponte legging, vegan leather legging and zip detail legging!

A Look Inside the Twin Peaks Escape Pad in San Francisco
Knock Architecture and Design
Brad Doran, DCD Building
Cesar Rubio
The Twin Peaks Escape Pad is a getaway that lies beneath an existing 3 story home on a steep downsloping property that lies near the famed Sutro Tower in San Francisco, Ca. Views abound, the purpose of this new space was to serve as a family getaway underneath the existing home, used solely for entertaining and enjoyment. A relief from daily life, the Escape Pad is 2000 square feet that spans over two levels, and features soaring 13' ceilings and views from every space, which was made possible by the unique terraced design that was intentional and pragmatic.
The wetbar area features custom steel cabinets by Metropolis Metalworks, and the burled redwood paneling and slab, sourced via Aborica and fabricated by Artistic Veneers.
The "vault" underneath the redwood slab partition in its closed state. The partition is cold formed steel paneling over aluminum honeycomb core doors. Modified pivot hinges by Rixson and a custom recessed track allow the partition to function smoothly and without deflection.
An outdoor shower is concealed in the side yard and features a weathered
cedar slat enclosure.
Underneath the raised deck, a play structure was formed out of vertical grain cedar slats. Punched openings reveal the playfulness, and is topped by a glass guard with button clips and large starphire glass panels. The modeled, integral color stucco carries the industrial feel from the inside to the outside, and the Weatherwood Stain on the cedar finishes this look.
The custom built spa was a must have for the homeowners, and features a concealed solar cover beneath the deck boards. It was raised to offer the dramatic view of downtown San Francisco and the East Bay Hills beyond. The interior of the spa is integral color plaster with a Quartzite slab liner at the water line. The sunken conversation pit lies next to the spa and features radiant tubes imbedded in its cantilevered concrete seat.

So you've decided to study abroad, and like most people, you're a little bit nervous. You're in a new country at a new school with a completely different set of rules, and it's probably pretty likely that you know nobody. But think about it—how did you feel when you first went to high school? College? Summer camp? It'll be hard at first, but you'll settle into a routine and make friends, and the end will come so quickly that you'll wonder how you were ever nervous in the first place. Here are some of the phases of studying abroad, how to deal with culture shock and homesickness, and a few other tips that may come in handy for you 🙂
Phase 1: Honeymoon
This is the time to explore your new environment and make friends, while you've still got that excitement in you! Most schools host an orientation week and events for incoming international students. Go to these events! It can be anything from a pub crawl to a beach trip to a guided city tour, and you should do it all. You'll learn a lot about where you're going to be living, and you'll meet tonnes of people! Remember that most of the other international students are just as nervous as you are, and they're all in the same boat!
This will also be the phase where everything about your new culture excites you. You'll do a lot. You'll experience new things. You'll have tonnes of fun! Schools usually ease you into classes and things as well, giving you a chance to accustom to different classroom rules and expectations. Lots of schools will also offer you a buddy, a student who is from your host institution who takes you out and gives you advice. If you want, sign up to have a buddy. There, you've already got one friend! Having a buddy can be a great way to get in with locals, who often know all the best places to go in your new city 😉
Phase 2: Culture Shock/Homesickness
Some people never get culture shock, but it's usually a very real experience when it comes to being abroad. It can manifest itself in different ways, usually with depressive feelings, disinterest in trying new things, feeling angry or resentful towards your host country, and homesickness for the way things are in your own country. If this happens to you, know that it is completely normal, and 99% of the time, it will pass. Maybe you're sick of being unable to find your favourite foods at the supermarket, or you don't like the way your new school schedules your exams. Whatever it is, you're bound to have issues with your new home because it's different than what you're used to! My advice is to try to embrace and understand it. Remember, you're the visitor, and you would expect people to embrace your home country if they ever visited it. Stores are closed during siesta? Shop earlier. Tired of watching TV in Chinese? Download a movie and invite your friends over to watch it, in English. This is where those friends you made in your honeymoon phase will come in handy, because they've probably got some of the same feelings, and you can further bond over it!
If you find yourself missing people at home, make the time to call/Skype them! Another fun thing to do is write to your friends at home. They'll love getting postcards, and receiving an unexpected letter in your mailbox can brighten your day!
Phase 3: Living Life
You've now been at your new school for awhile, and (hopefully) your culture shock has passed. It's no longer weird to see people drinking in public, and you can slip easily into another language when you have to buy something from the market. You know where all the best clubs and restaurants are, and you're making plans with your new local friends to do your group project together. I swear, it's like you've never studied anywhere else! You may still occasionally feel frustrations or homesickness, but it definitely won't be as frequent.
Phase 4: Saying Goodbye/Reverse Culture Shock
Like I said before, just as quickly as you've made life-long friendships, you'll have to say goodbye and return to your home university! Thanks to Facebook and Skype, it's easier than ever to keep in touch with friends abroad (and hopefully, you've made a lot of international friends, to have people to stay with if you ever visit their countries!). It's very sad, but you'll also likely be looking forward to going home!
Reverse culture shock is something that happens when you return home. People seem to talk less about this, and not everyone gets it, but for me it was a huge struggle. It's just like culture shock abroad, but it can happen even when you return to a place you thought you knew. I did not have a good re-entry in Canada, and wished constantly to be back abroad in Spain. It's helpful to keep in touch with your new friends at this time, as well as to talk to other former exchangees to see if the can relate. My school hosted a "re-entry" session where we could all talk about our experiences. The worst part about it is that studying abroad likely will have changed you in many ways. You may feel like you've matured, seen so many things, and had so many great experiences… and yet, life back home is exactly the same. Nothing has changed, and it might feel weird at first. This too shall pass, but remember that these feelings are also normal if you happen to experience them!
The Best Things To Do While Abroad
Make the most of it! This will not only be great for you in the moment, but studying abroad looks great on a resume! You've got global perspective now! Here are some things I suggest doing (and not doing) while studying abroad:
1. Get local! I studied in a smaller Spanish city, and while everyone swoons over Madrid and Barcelona, I developed a soft spot for my quirky, architecturally beautiful city of Bilbao. Definitely travel while you're in another country or continent, but don't forget about where you're living. We traveled the coast of the Basque country and we loved what we found! Support the local team (unless they're Bilbao), try the local dishes, and try to make local friends!
2. Get involved! Joining a club at home helped you to make friends, so why not abroad? Besides the international students group, take a chance by joining an intramural sports team or Maths club. If you're in a country where English isn't the first language, consider joining a language exchange club! You're usually paired with a local student and have conversation hours where you practice each other's languages. Besides making another friend, you'll have insight to a new culture and get to teach someone about yours too!
Still, it doesn't hurt to go to events that are just for international students too. A club in Bilbao had "Erasmus parties" every Thursday, which were always themed and fun! Try something new, you'll be glad you did!
3. Don't forget why you're there. You're studying abroad, remember? Go to class, do your assignments, get your credits! It feels like you've got nothing to worry about in another country, especially when you don't have a work visa so most of your free time is spent hanging and out having fun. Still, if you come back with nothing to show for it, you may not feel so great. Try to stay on task!
4. Try something new. I've wanted to be an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for several years now, and I received a mass email calling for volunteer English teachers to teach a conversation class in a small town nearby to Bilbao. I applied and I got the job, and it was amazing! I got to explore a new little town and meet tonnes of locals, one of whom graciously became like a mother to me, inviting me to her home for weekend visits and taking me to festivals and cafes with her family. We are still in touch! Best of all, the experience looked great on my resume and helped me to get a job teaching English full-time in China! If I hadn't taken the chance to try it in Spain, I might not have gotten the new job, so my best advice is to open yourself up to the opportunities and go for it!
Did you study abroad? Where, and what was your favourite part? What advice would you give students who want to go abroad? Tell me! I wish everyone the best of luck!

If the West Holmes versus Ashland boys soccer game on Thursday, Sept. 28 at West Holmes High School was a boxing match, it would have been the equivalent of the Knights trying to fend off a flurry of haymakers being thrown by the Arrows.
Ashland utilized its speed and quickness to force West Holmes to turn much of its attention to the defensive end, and while the defense played well most of the game, the sheer volume of Ashland's attack eventually overcame the Knights as the Arrows left town with a 3-0 win, scoring two late goals to pull away.
"We knew their team speed was incredible coming in, which is why we had the defensive game plan we did," West Holmes coach Dave Zimmerly said. "We just couldn't keep up."
What hurt more was that the Knights were missing speedy Tyler Masters with an injury, further hampering their ability to keep up with the Arrows' lightning-quick crew.
Ashland struck first with a goal at the 12th minute when Kaden Mendenhall found himself open in the box and shoveled a shot past Knights' keeper Brendon Yoder to make it 1-0. It stayed that way through the rest of the half as Zimmerly threw several different defenses at the Arrows to slow down their attack.
The game was well into the second half before the Arrows would strike again to score what would be a huge goal. Team co-captain Daniel Arimi somehow managed to find himself unchecked inside the 18, and he took a pass from the right side and knocked it into the net. There was little Yoder could have done to prevent the goal.
"That was a big goal," Zimmerly said. "We were not going to generate a lot of offensive opportunities, so we were either going to tie it or they were going to take a two-goal lead and pretty much put things away. That was the game. Either we were going to get something or they were going to find a second and put us away. They did what they had to do."
It was the latter, and now trailing by two, Zimmerly pulled out all the stops and tried to push his players forward to create some offense. The only trouble with that is that it leaves the defense weakened, and that bit the Knights when co-captain Matthew Martin scorched in a shot with 90 seconds to play.
"We had a couple of early chances, and we were as efficient with the ball in the second half," Zimmerly said. "Defensively we had to defend a lot, so I'm not going to bash our kids. They gave a great effort. On two of their goals we kind of lost our shape on defense, and they took advantage."
As for the defensive changes throughout the game, West Holmes started out in a 4-4-1-1 and then shifted to a 5-3-2 with five defenders. Next was a 3-4-1-2, and Zimmerly said they continued to try to disrupt the Arrows' offense by changing gears and creating confusion.
It worked, but when a team cranks up 18 shots on goal and controls the ball the way Ashland did, it makes it difficult to defend for a full 80 minutes.
"I was happy with our effort," Zimmerly said, "but in games like this we have to learn how to come ready to play and play with the kind of pace it requires to play at that level. As long as we give the effort, that's what you want to see."
The Knights managed four shots, of which one was on goal. Yoder ended the game with nine saves, and the sophomore keeper continues to grow into the role. Zimmerly said he believes his keeper can be a fantastic net-minder for the next two-plus years, noting that he improved immensely over the course of this season alone. Ashland had five corners to one for West Holmes, which fell to 3-7-3 on the year, although their head coach believes that this team is much better than their record would indicate.
However, on this night, too many haymakers left the Knights reeling, and with the incredible talent in the Ohio Cardinal Conference, Zimmerly feels the Knights' schedule will only help them in tournament play.
"The OCC is very tough this year," Zimmerly said. "This Ashland team is sitting in fourth, and that says just how good this league is."

This week at The Avid Listener, Andrew extends his on-going discussion of authenticity with an essay about disabled bodies and / in opera. Avid readers may recall Andrew's essay from a few weeks ago about gendered bodies in opera, and his new essay continues to play with our cultural expectations of what the bodies who sing on stage "should" look like.
Here's a teaser: "Operatic bodies, like the sounds they dramatize, are generally meant to be beautiful. But like other cultural forms, opera is also used to explore society's concern with the abnormal, its fear of and fascination with bodies that deviate from a culturally framed "ordinary." Music-and-disability scholar Blake Howe—whose summary of the relevance of disability readings to music is still the most articulate and useful online resource on the topic—curates an extraordinary database of musical depictions of disability, and operatic roles comprise a large and varied component of that database. As with gender, various kinds of bodily configurations have been understood differently in different historical and geographical circumstances, and musicians have helped to shape those understandings while also working within them…"
Read the entire essay here. As always, we invite you to ask a question or leave a comment, and stay for the discussion.
Next week we'll have our final essay before going on hiatus. Stay tuned for TAL 2.0!

By Jazzercise, Inc.
(CARLSBAD, CA) -- The statistics are startling and unsettling. An estimated 25 percent of American children are overweight. Only one in four gets 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily. And the picture gets bleaker for girls. More than 25 percent of girls (as compared to 17 percent of boys) get less than 2 periods of vigorous activity a week.
Without effective intervention, America's youth will experience an increased risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes as they age. The need to teach our children healthier lifestyle habits is clearly evident.
"By establishing physical activity as a lifestyle choice in their early years, " says Judi Sheppard Missett, founder and CEO of Jazzercise, "we provide our children with perhaps the most effective preventive medicine. "
Children learn by example, so the more active parents are, the more active their children will be. Here are some ideas to get the entire family moving:
Encourage a love of sports, both competitive and noncompetitive, and create opportunities for participation. This can be as simple as bicycling around town or joining a parks and recreation softball league.
Select a few activities everyone can do regardless of age, such as walking, and pick one or two days a week for a family outing. Take your infants along in bike carts and/or strollers, so they literally grow up with fitness as a natural part of their lives.
Set limits on television. Children have a natural tendency to be physically active, but nothing stifles that urge as quickly as the sedentary act of watching TV.
Look for new ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Walk to the library rather than taking the car. Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
Make walking the dog a group effort. Encourage your children to identify and suggest healthier alternatives as you maneuver through your day.
While children can be incredibly limber, it's important to instill a habit of stretching before
and after exercise. The following stretch targets the muscles that run down the back of the
thigh and lower leg, which are used extensively during walking and most other activities. You
can place your hands on your hips or on a chair, table or your own thigh for support. Extend one
leg to the side, and flex your foot. Bend your supporting knee slightly, and sit into the hip as
you lean toward your extended leg. You should feel a stretch from heel to hip. Hold for 10 to 20
seconds, then reverse the movements to stretch the opposite side. Repeat two to three times as
Be sure to use good posture, keeping your chest lifted and your abdominal muscles engaged to prevent your lower back from arching. Stop at the point where you feel mild tension, and hold there. Never stretch to the point of pain.
