According to the UK Telegraph:
Yummy. I particularly like the tongues draping over the edge. And is that... ear hair?
Plus, with all those noses you know it has to smell funny.
Uh, Joyce? Check, please.
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.
I don't know what disturbs me the most. The creepy, disembodied, floppy, hairy, and bloody body part pizza cakes, or the bizarre murals on the walls!!! YIKES!
Oh goodness. That's just disturbing.
it's too early in the morning for a post like that! ew! i wonder if people actually ate any??
Do you have to be over 18 to enter that hospital restaurant? The background wall pics are a little provocative!
One word.
Whoa. I was about to go eat breakfast... but I just lost my appetite. And that takes a lot of doing. Those tongues just look so real!
um, what the hell is going on on the mural in the background?
And what's up with the wall decor? Is that a leg behind that woman? Is it supposed to be the front or the back of a person? And they are naked?!? Who has that on their hospital restaurant wall?!?
Did you read that they make you sign an indemnity waiver to eat there? Their other dishes look like removed body parts and beer comes in a urine sample cup~! Can you imagine what milk might come in to eat with your cake? Great find.
Definitely get me OUT of the mood for eating cake...hope whoever was making this was shaking their head the whole time!

Ummm... I think I just threw-up a little, in my mouth...
All I can say is ewwwwwww!
To the nurse on the left, I'd just like to say, "How YOU doin'?"
Who would ever come up with an idea like this...I'm trying to figure out if those lines on the cake are supposed to be surgical scars or something...
Hey, I'd eat it. I love disgusting body parts!
Get a load of this... word verification: "spook"
Oh, Latvia... out-weirding everybody in the world since, well, I don't want to know when.
Wow. I mean... wow. That... is just... great. Oh, those wacky Latvians!
Of course, they could always partner up with this guy: http://inventorspot.com/articles/body_bread_13546
And the Latvians wonder why they're not a major power broker on the world stage!
Disturbing to me on many levels. Not only is this just gross, the placement of the body parts is unbalanced.
Oh, those crazy Brits!
Having an interest in the macabre, I love it!!!
~Amy B
yup, they're provocative alright!
i wouldn't eat that cake if you paid me....well...it would depend how much you offered.
This is definatly not a family-friendly restaurant. Not only the cake and wall decor but did anybody else notice how short the nurses skirts are?
I lived in Riga Latvia several years ago and NEVER saw anything like that there. Although, I probably would have gone to eat there just to say I did. And, don't let that awful cake sway you. I think their cuisine is quite good.
Oh, God. I don't think I can eat today anymore D:
My goodness, what is that??!! Kingdom Hospital?
OKAY. D: Happy hour, your post...it makes me want to vomit now D:
I guess it IS an 18plus restaurant...
At least the bartender/surgeons are hunky. RAWR!
WOW !! I made Cake Wrecks!!! I thought I'd be one of a hundred who submitted Dave Barry's link to the story. WOW ! Amazing. Good cake for Halloween, eh?
Thanks! Y'all made my day! I just showed my husband, "look, honey, I made Cake Wrecks"---and he said, "what is it??" body parts
Glenn Beck was doing a cake in his chin skit on Fox today---anyone wanna screen grab it?
Of all of the disgusting cakes you've posted, this is the one that brought me closest to barfing. Yuck!
Word verification: ingent, what I DON'T want to do with this cake
Eww. Just...eww.
First time I've ever rolled over the photos w/out looking at them. Some of us are having breakfast... ugh!
My 6 year old son thinks it's great! HA!
oh .. AWFUL.
I WAS eating...
Um, yeah....the last thing I need is my cake tounging me back.
I think it's actually pretty neat, but that's just me apparently.
I don't have anything to say.
Yes I do.
Sara, if you thought that was gross, you should read the rest of the article. I left out the BEST bits~! The article was hysterical.
The words "why? WHY?" keep echoing through my head.
I'll let you know if the other voices in there come up with an answer.
Ugh! Who eats here?! Hannibal Lecter?
I would *totally* eat there.
What? It's CAKE y'all!
I'm desperately hoping that one day all these cake decorators get the memo: Body parts don't belong on cakes!!!
That is Insanely Awesome! I can see where some people would see it as wrecky, but I say it would be a fantastic way to keep most people away from my cake! Except my closest friends, of course. They are as twisted and macabre as I am.
Oh my God! It's Eddie Gein's birthday cake!
*runs screaming from the room*
The walls might have to be censored...
I'm glad my cake just had Sailor Moon.
Leave it to the pervs at The Telegraph to use the word "uniform" when "costume" would be more accurate. They've played doctor a few times too many.
Latvia may be ahead of the curve in having a fantasy restaurant that's not your standard middle ages or other safe themes. In Europe. Japan has had the niche & outre stuff for some time now. Some of it goes way over the top.
Chubby (by Japanese standards) maids in anime-baroque outfits not only taking your orders but also doing the cooking. AKA Gothic Lolita (which has nothing to with underage girls). Various flavors of Alice in Wonderland, frequently Gothic Lolita, with equally strange food. Vampire restaurants. Ninja restaurants. Prison restaurants.
Don't drop your utensils in that last one.
WV: CONDFALL: My eyeballs condfall out after seeing this.
This is just wrong. And I'M Latvian!
The cake is really disturbing, but I have to say I'm most disturbed by the slide-along advertisement that hovers over the middle of the screen while I am reading today's post. :(
Hey Jennifer,
I am so sorry. I didn't know about it and have requested that the ad company opt us out of all future floating advertising. I hate them too.
Sorry again,
I actually kind of like it.
Cannibalism by proxy.
JUST when I thought nothing could get worse than the internal organ or toe fungus cakes...
Thank you, John! You are awesome.
Oh! My! Gordness!
I am in love.
Redheaded nurses! Redheaded nurses! REDHEADED NURSES ... !!!
(Oh. They're holding something, too.)
Rupe's in love.

P.S. E-mail me whenever you have redheads in photos ... holding things 'n' stuff .....
Yuck! x_x That is gross!
Hmm..... I like tongue, I like cake, I get the feeling I should be ok with this combination. But I can't. Not to overuse the response, but WHY!? I really thought my worst reaction was to the foot cakes, yet I got a little grossed out when I imagined trying to consume the ears.
Bummer there's no decor for the girls.
Hmmm... I guess you could say, it's the cake that eats YOU!
Disgusting! The worst cakes since I have started reading your blog. How does that restaurant stay in business?? "Come on in and try some fake ear hair and noses...in chocolate, vanilla or Italian cream."???? And what are the entrees? Butt roast shaped like a butt? Toast with toe jam? Just ewww.
I totally have the same red wig in my closet. Now I should go ask the local bakery for a body part cake to see what they cook up.
OK. I have to throw in my $.02 here. I am Latvian, I've been to Latvia and still have family there. It definitely is an interesting place, but come on, there are weird restaurants all over the world. I'm sure if you went to google right now and typed in "weird restaurants" it would bring up pages and pages. I know there are a lot of interesting restaurants in NYC alone that would make this look tame.
I would eat the cake, I'd just pick off all the body parts :-P
Surprisingly enough, there's some awesome food in Latvia that you just can't get around these parts. Unless your Latvian grandmother or mother makes it!
Wow. This whole scene is disturbingly reminiscent of the scene in Elm Street part 3 where Joey literally gets tongue-tied... the sexy nurses, the longer-than-anywhere-near-normal tongues...creepy. And Awesome.

I forgot to mantion the pizza scene- I'd love to see an actual one of those in cake form.
In Soviet Russia, cake licks YOU.
It's no a hosptial. It's a restaurant called "Hospitalis"
still gross
wv...restu...restu rauch is the decor theme for this eatery.
Being a waitress, my first thought was, "I bet those girls make a @(*$ ton of money."
Oh, YUCK ! Some people find this clever or funny , even if it's gross and really creepy...can you imagine people visiting friends and family who have had surgery and then get those cakes pushed into their faces for fun and frivolity ? No thanks !
Oh, no ! It's a real restaurant...that makes it even worse !
I'm traveling to Latvia later this year, I might have to seek out this restaurant.
i'm latvian! i've never been to that restaraunt but they have crazy stuff like that all over! and about the murals... that's just weird, i can't explain that.

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

A prototypical conversation is not a random succession of unrelated utterances produced alternately by the participants: a prototypical conversation has something in the nature of a general purpose or direction, and the contributions of the participant are intelligibly related both to one another and to the overall aim of the conversation. By participating in a conversation, a speaker implicitly signals that (s)he agrees to cooperate in the joint activity, to abide by the rules, as it were. Grice's version of what a conversationalist implicitly endorses (by agreeing to take part in the conversation) is expressed in terms of rules of conduct and runs as follows: The cooperative principle: Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.

(11) New Forum Member: Hello. This is my first post. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about the effectiveness of aikido in real fighting situations. Veteran Member: Oh God. Not again. Do a search, for heaven's sake.
Contribute positively to the discussion topic.
I think first you must 'unbalance' the uke by drawing uke's hand out of uke's center. Keep your hands in front of you (you must be able to see your hands easily right in front of your eyes) even when you turn your body. Do not lift your hands over your head. The highest position is in front of your forehead. '
So you prefer uke to jump in to tobu ukemi out of fear of injury instead of nage learning how to create kuzushi and actually take uke down?' What I like about my judo practice is that it has provided me a very in depth study into the art of kuzushi and throwing that I don't believe I'd get in any other methodology.'
He asked her about aikido technique, she said: "When you speak of matching, if your kokyu, or breathing, does not match then you do not match. You are thinking merely of form, aren't you? But in order to do aiki, both your spirit and that of your partner must enter into play and then come together. When you study aiki, this is what you are studying."'
You know, I would be careful of quotes like this (the author is referring to the quotation in the above paragraph about aiki). I have mentioned this before a number of times, but the translations of a lot of westerners who don't really have kokyu/jin skills or understand exactly what is meant idiomatically by "ki" or words like "kokoro" when they are used to indicate the intention-strength those translations can be misleading.'
In fact, pretty much the whole Chinese martial-arts world was shot in the foot for so long because of similar misunderstandings about "jin" and "energy", "qi" and "spirit", "breath" and so on. Not saying the translation is wrong, but I'd be very careful of it until I determined what the translator actually knew in terms of skills and so forth.'
Things and intent are always lost in the meaning of a translation.
Life, you know, is rather like opening a tin of sardines. We are all of us looking for the key. And, I wonder, how many of you here tonight have wasted years of your lives looking behind the kitchen dressers of this life for that key. Others think they've found the key, don't they? They roll back the lid of the sardine tin of life, they reveal the sardines, the riches of life, therein, and they get them out, they enjoy them. But, you know, there's always a little bit in the corner you can't get out. I wonder -- I wonder, is there a little bit in the corner of your life? I know there is in mine.

Odano is saying that not only the sounds but also the written characters of languageespecially kanji, Chinese characters as they are used in Japaneseare special. I have just enough exposure to the Shinto tradition of kotodamaliterally, word-spirit'to recognize this as boldly original: most proponents of kotodama consider kanji as a corrupting influence largely responsible for the defilement and censure of an indigenous "word-spirit" attributable to the Japanese word-sounds.' (Earle, p. 13.)
In the dialogue, Socrates is asked by two men, Cratylus and Hermogenes, to tell them whether names are "conventional" or "natural", that is, whether language is a system of arbitrary signs or whether words have an intrinsic relation to the things they signify.
In the context of ordinary language, words are used to communicate regarding our worldmore often than not without reflection upon how mysterious is this capacity. What endows words with the capacity to impart meaning? Word-sounds, I am discovering (from training with Odano Sanae), constitute an atomic subset of language. And just as Einstein predicted, that the atomic nucleus contains extraordinary latent energyenergy of a magnitude not suggested by that nucleus's sizeso this atomic subset of language, when split open, releases limitless metaphysical and ontological intelligence.'

"The Kokutai no Hongi's perverted vision of a unique, intrinsically superior Japanese state, civilization and language was nonsense, too, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese died fiery deaths in the aftermath of this vision." (Miller JMM, p. 142.)
Few books in the entire history of literary translation can have been as badly deflected from their original sense and purport as has the Makura no Soshi in the Morris version. Given the enormous dimensions of these problems of translation from the Japanese, it is only to be expected that attempts should have been made to evolve a theory that would explain why the situation is as bad as it is. A Japanese critic, for example, hasapparently in full seriousnesssuggested that the highly visible gap between most Japanese originals and their available English translations is to be accounted for by a special quality inherent in the Japanese language itself. For him, the Japanese language has kotodama the spirit of the language'. This is supposed to be a mystical entity that not only interferes with, but actually defies the adequate translation of Japanese texts. The Germans have long read Shakespeare in translations that are said to rival the originals. Thomas Mann became a world literary figure chiefly through the English translations of Helen Lowe Porter. But since there are no translations from Japanese into European languages that have been similarly received, it must follow, according to this argument, that Japanese with its kotodama is inherently and innately different from any other human language.' (Miller, Nihongo, p. 216.)
Few outside the rather specialized confines of modern Japanese intellectual circles will probably wish to follow this argument to its logical denouement; for most of us, the answer is rather more simple, and far more direct. Most available translations of Japanese literary texts, no matter what the period of their originals, fall far short of the mark that might reasonably expected for any translation, not because of any special mystical entity inherent in the Japanese language, but plainly and simply because these translations are generally done carelessly, and in haste, and more often than not by translators insufficiently familiar not only with the Japanese language itself but also with Japanese life and culture.' (Miller, Nihongo, pp. 216-217.)
The Japanese language has no spirit that distinguishes it in any manner, shape or form from any other language. It has no particular power, no unique gift that sets it apart from other varieties of the human linguistic experience.' (Miller, JMM, p. 142-43.)

give a particular picture of the essence of human language. It is this: the individual words in language name objectssentences are combinations of such names. In this picture of language we find the roots of the following idea: Every word has a meaning. This meaning is correlated with the word. It is the object for which the word stands. (PI, 2e.)
in which a person could write down or give vocal expression to his inner experienceshis feelings, moods and the restfor his private use?(I) Well, can't we do so in our ordinary language?(W) But that is not what I mean. The individual words of this language are to refer to what can only be known to the person speaking; to his immediate private sensations. So another person cannot understand this language.' (PI, § 243, pp. 88e- 89e)
(I) Let us imagine the following case. I want to keep a diary about the recurrence of a certain sensation. To this end I associate it with the sign "S" and write this sign in a calendar for every day on which I have the sensation.(W) I will remark first of all that the definition of the sign cannot be formulated.(I) But still I can give myself a kind of ostensive definition.(W) How? Can I point to the sensation? (I) Not in the ordinary sense. But I speak, or write the sign down, and at the same tine I concentrate my attention on the sensationand so, as it were, point to it inwardly.(W) But what is this ceremony for? For that is all it seems to be! A definition serves to establish the meaning of the sign.(I) Well that is done precisely by the concentrating of my attention; for in this way I impress on myself the connection between the sign and the sensation.(W) But "I impress it on myself" can only mean: this process brings it about that I remember the connection right in the future. But in this case I have no criterion of correctness. One would like to say: whatever is gong to seem right to me is right. And that only means that we cannot talk about right'.' (PI, § 258, p. 92e.)
What reason do we have for calling "S" the sign of a sensation? For sensation is a word of our common language, not one intelligible to me alone. So the use of this word stands in need of a justification that everybody understands.And it would not help either to say that it need not be a sensation, that when he writes "S" he writs something and that it all that can be said. "Has" and "something" also belong to our common language.' (PI, § 261, p. 94e: text slightly adapted.)
Itching, for example, seems like this: one just feels what it is directly; if one then gives the sensation a name, the rules for that name's subsequent use are already determined by the sensation itself. Wittgenstein tries to show that this impression is illusory, that even itching derives its identity only from a sharable practice of expression, reaction and use of language. If itching were a metaphysical absolute, forcing its identity upon me in the way described, then the possibility of such a shared practice would be irrelevant to the concept of itching: the nature of itching would be revealed to me in a single mental act of naming it; all subsequent facts concerning the use of the name would be irrelevant to how that name was meant; and the name could be private. The private language argument is intended to show that such subsequent facts could not be irrelevant, that no names could be private, and that the notion of having the true identity of a sensation revealed in a single act of acquaintance is a confusion.' http://plato.stanford.edu/archives/f...vate-language/.

Whenever an enemy comes to grab you from the rear, you should open on to your whole body the window of the spirit (Kokoro), which has eyes facing even to the rear. Your back must move instantly and vigorously with soul and body unified in response to the unexpected attack. (Bieri Translation) as soon as the opponent attempts to grab you from the rear, you must open the eyes of your heart and the window of your mind, follow your intuition, and move swiftly and surely to the proper position to counter the attack. (Stevens translation)
While in the later tradition the use of metaphors has been seen as a matter of mere decoration, which has to delight the hearer, Aristotle stresses the cognitive function of metaphors. Metaphors, he says, bring about learning (Rhet. III.10, 1410b14f.). In order to understand a metaphor, the hearer has to find something common between the metaphor and the thing which the metaphor is referred to. For example, if someone calls the old age "stubble," we have to find a common genus to which old age and stubble belong; we do not grasp the very sense of the metaphor until we find that both, old age and stubble, have lost their bloom. Thus, a metaphor does not only refer to a thing, but simultaneously describes the respective thing in a certain respect. This is why Aristotle says that the metaphor brings about learning: as soon as we understand why someone uses the metaphor "stubble" to refer to old age, we have learned at least one characteristic of old age.' ( http://plato.stanford.edu/archives/w...otle-rhetoric/) .
(1) 隠喩 (IN'-YU: 隠 kakeru = hide; 喩 tatoeru = compare) occurs first and is illustrated in much the same way as the metaphor by analogy, explained above. It is also defined as one type of the more general term, which is: (2) 比喩 (HI-YU: 比 kuraberu = compare; 喩 tatoeru = compare). The example given for this term is to talk in metaphors'. However, another explanation given of IN'YU 隠喩 is 比喩的表現 (HI-YU-TEKI-HYO-GEN), which is metaphor for', as in, the ship of the desert is a metaphor for the camel'. (3) 象徴 (SHO-CHO: 象 katadoru = imitate; 徴 shirushi = sign, indication)

Meng tzu said, Heaven below 's talk (of) Nature (is) about Causes only. Causes use profit as root. (The only items without a corresponding Chinese character are those in brackets.)
Mencius said, "All who speak about the natures of things, have in fact only their phenomena to reason from, and the value of a phenomenon is in its being natural."' http://nothingistic.org/library/mencius/mencius16.html
In attempting to choose one reading rather than another, a very important consideration is soon forced upon us. As we shall see, Chinese thinking often gives no attention to distinctions which for Western minds are so traditional and so firmly established in thought and language, that we neither question them nor even become aware of them as distinctions. We receive and use them as though they belonged unconditionally to the constitution of things (or of thought).' (Mencius, pp.3-4.)
The number of persons equipped today with a purely Chinese scholarship is rapidly diminishing. Before long there will be nobody studying Mencius into whose mind philosophical and other ideas and methods of modern Western origin have not made their way the Chinese scholar of the near future will not be intellectually much nearer Mencius than any western pupil of Aristotle and Kant. Unless the thinking which has been fundamental to historic China can somehow be explained in Western terms, it seems inevitably doomed to oblivion. In a sense, of course it is lost already No one will think again the thoughts of Mencius.' (Mencius, p. 9.)
And this raises one of those awkward time confrontations , for Aristotle's life (384-322 BCE) was only a very little anterior to that of Hsun Tzu (c. 305-235 BCE). Since this was a century and a half before the opening of the Silk Road, I confess to much difficulty in believing that the one system could have been derived from the other, and would prefer that both were independent, though very similar, results of reflection on the same phenomenon. It is typical of Chinese thought that what particularly characterized man should have been expressed as the sense of justice rather than the power of reasoning.' (Needham, Vol. II, p. 23.)
The problem, put briefly, is this. Can we in attempting to understand and translate a work which belongs to a very different tradition to our own do more than read our own conceptions into it? Can we make it more than a mirror our minds, or are we inevitably in this undertaking trying to be on both sides of the looking glass at once? To understand Mencius, for example, must we efface our whole tradition of thinking and learn another; and when we have done this, if it be possible, will we be any nearer being able to translate the one set of mental operations into the other? Is such translation, at best, only an ingenious deformation, in the style of the clever trick by which the children's entertainer makes with his fingers and thumbs a shadow very much like a rabbit?'

In the village churchyard she lies, Dust is in her beautiful eyes, No more she breathes, nor feels, nor stirs, At her feet and at her head Lies a slave to attend the dead, But their dust is white as hers.
There was a rapture of spring in the morning When we told our love in the wood. For you were the spring in my heart, dear lad, And I vowed that my life was good But there's winter now in the evening, And lowering clouds overhead, There's a wailing of wind in the chimney-nook And I vow that my life lies dead.
Ordinarily, he speaks for a purpose, and his purpose modifies his speech. The understanding of it is part of the whole business of apprehending his meaning. Unless we know what he is trying to do, we can hardly estimate the measure of his success. Yes the readers who omit such considerations might make a faint-hearted writer despair.' (Richards, PC, p. 182.)
Almost everyone looks to the teaching of O Sensei for guidance in their practice of Aikido.
However some focus more on things he said at specific times in his life; for example, his pre-war teachings vs. his post-war teachings. My question is, when studying any person's genius, doesn't it make more sense that whatever that person said last holds to be the culmination of his whole life's experience, study, and practice? Why would anyone go back x number of years in one person's life and say, THIS is his true art, and discount everything after that? I mean when I think of my own practice of Aikido, I certainly don't think that I was better off when I was younger. Doesn't wisdom grow with age? Has this sort of thing been done with any other great genius in history? '

2On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. 4And Jesus said to her, Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come. 5His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you. 6Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8He said to them, Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward. So they took it. 9When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom 10and said to him, Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now. 11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they remained there a few days.

Happy August! As the last month of summer, August brings with it a time of sunshine, summer days and of course, preparing your family for the upcoming school year. As the days begin to get shorter, you might feel like the opportunities for summer activities are starting to dwindle. However, you could not be further from the truth.
In fact, the month of August recognizes National Family Fun Month, which means it's the perfect time to get out in the warm summer heat and celebrate family-fun activities together. National Family Fun Month was created as a reason to embrace and make time for extra fun with your family this summer. If you want to take advantage of the last summer days and commemorate Family Fun Month with your loved ones, here are five ideas to celebrate this August.
1. Find activities outside.
As summer comes to a close, use the month of August to find and enjoy as many activities outside as possible with your family. For instance, try packing a picnic to benefit from an evening in the park. Or, take a trip to your local amusement park for a day full of fun and laughter. You could even consider going on a camping trip to really embrace the last few days of heat this summer. August is the perfect month to take as many opportunities to be outside as possible, whether it's swimming in the pool or going putt-putting. In just a few short weeks, fall will be here, followed quickly by winter, and the time to be outside will come to a close. So, use National Family Fun Month as an opportunity to embrace family fun activities out in the sun.
2. Attend classes.
Lots of businesses and organizations will offer a variety of different classes over the summer months. While some of these might just be for children, there are also those that get the whole family involved. Check in your community for any classes you could do together with your kiddos. For instance, why not take a cooking class at your local grocery store, or a woodworking class at a hardware store? You could also check with local nonprofit organizations and see what types of classes they might offer, such as art or a writing workshop. Not only can your family have a ton of fun by attending these classes, but you can also learn something new together in the process.
3. Go to events in the community.
Speaking of attending classes, as summer winds down to a close, so do some of the events going on in the community. Take advantage of the last few weeks of summer by going to as many community events as possible with your family. Perhaps there's an upcoming county fair, a street market or even an outdoor concert put on by a local business. Many of these events are low-cost admission, or might be completely free altogether for a family. Keep up to date and check which events are going on in your community, then celebrate National Family Fun Month by attending them with your loved ones.
4. Get involved with volunteering.
Finally, one of the best ways to have fun this August and teach your children valuable life skills is by getting involved through volunteering with your community. Learn about an important cause or organization near you and see how you can give back by volunteering. Whether you serve food at a mission, donate clothes to an organization or pass out flyers for an event, volunteering together as a family can be a fun and rewarding experience as you strive to live an altruistic lifestyle. Not to mention, you can also make a genuine impact on those people living in your community. See what volunteering opportunities are near you and get involved by serving others this Family Fun Month.
Family Fun Month is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the end of the summer before your children head back to school. Take advantage of these creative and altruistic ideas in order to have the best Family Fun Month possible this August.

1You shall not sacrifice to the LORD, your God, an ox or a sheep with any serious defect;a that would be an abomination to the LORD, your God.
2b If there is found in your midst, in any one of the communities which the LORD, your God, gives you, a man or a woman who does evil in the sight of the LORD, your God, and transgresses his covenant,c 3by going to serve other gods, by bowing down to them, to the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, contrary to my command;d 4and if you are told or hear of it, you must investigate it thoroughly. If the truth of the matter is established that this abomination has been committed in Israel, 5you shall bring the man or the woman who has done this evil deed out to your gates* and stone the man or the woman to death. 6Only on the testimony of two or three witnesses shall a person be put to death;e no one shall be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 7The hands of the witnesses shall be the first raised to put the person to death, and afterward the hands of all the people.f Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
Judges. 8g If there is a case for judgment which proves too baffling for you to decide, in a matter of bloodshed or of law or of injury, matters of dispute within your gates, you shall then go up to the place which the LORD, your God, will choose, 9to the levitical priests or to the judge who is in office at that time. They shall investigate the case and then announce to you the decision.h 10You shall act according to the decision they announce to you in the place which the LORD will choose, carefully observing everything as they instruct you. 11You shall carry out the instruction they give you and the judgment they pronounce, without turning aside either to the right or left from the decision they announce to you. 12Anyone who acts presumptuously and does not obey the priest* who officiates there in the ministry of the LORD, your God, or the judge, shall die. Thus shall you purge the evil from Israel. 13And all the people, on hearing of it, shall fear, and will never again act presumptuously.i
The King. 14j When you have come into the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you, and have taken possession of it and settled in it, should you then decide, "I will set a king over me, like all the surrounding nations,"k 15you may indeed set over you a king whom the LORD, your God, will choose.l Someone from among your own kindred you may set over you as king; you may not set over you a foreigner, who is no kin of yours. 16* But he shall not have a great number of horses; nor shall he make his people go back again to Egypt to acquire many horses, for the LORD said to you, Do not go back that way again.m 17Neither shall he have a great number of wives, lest his heart turn away,n nor shall he accumulate a vast amount of silver and gold. 18When he is sitting upon his royal throne, he shall write a copy of this law* upon a scroll from the one that is in the custody of the levitical priests.o 19* p It shall remain with him and he shall read it as long as he lives, so that he may learn to fear the LORD, his God, and to observe carefully all the words of this law and these statutes, 20so that he does not exalt himself over his kindred or turn aside from this commandment to the right or to the left, and so that he and his descendants may reign long in Israel.
* [17:5] Out to your gates: outside the gates, so as not to defile the city; cf. Lv 24:14; Nm 15:36; Acts 7:58; Heb 13:12.
* [17:12] The priest: the high priest; the judge: a layman. The court system here, involving lay and priestly officials, resembles the one whose establishment is attributed to King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chr 19:8–11 (cf. Ex 18:17–23 and Dt 1:17).
* [17:16–17] This restriction on royal acquisitions may have in mind the excesses of Solomon's reign mentioned in 1 Kgs 10:1–11:6. Horses: chariotry for war. Egypt engaged in horse trading, and the danger envisioned here is that some king might make Israel a vassal of Egypt for military aid.
* [17:18] A copy of this law: the source of the name Deuteronomy, which in Hebrew is literally "double" or "copy"; in the Septuagint translated as deuteronomion, literally "a second law." In Jerome's Latin Vulgate as deuteronium.
* [17:19] The only positive requirement imposed upon the king is strict adherence to the Mosaic or Deuteronomic law. In that respect, the king's primary task was to be a model Israelite.
c. [17:2] Jos 7:11, 15; 23:16; Jgs 2:20; 2 Kgs 18:12; Jer 34:18; Hos 6:7; 8:1.
d. [17:3] Dt 4:19; 2 Kgs 17:16; 21:3; 23:5; Jer 8:2; Ez 8:16.
e. [17:6] Dt 19:15; Nm 35:30; Jn 8:17; 2 Cor 13:1.

Stemtech has embarked on a focused branding campaign, starting with the unveiling of a sleek, new company logo and a new line of product labels, designed to raise our level of recognition and provide a seamless experience for our Independent Business Partners, as well as for their customers.

We have now set up operations in over 30 nations around the world. Stemtech will look back on 2014 as a banner year for us all.
2013: The Year of the Stem Cell
2013 was hailed "The Year of the Stem Cell" by The Atlantic. Another publication, Popular Science, followed suit shortly after, both pointing out that great strides in stem cell science are being made now, thus giving more people access to stem cell related health technologies.
On March 1, 2013, Stemtech launched a major campaign —Stem Cells for All— to help educate the world about stem cells and support the growing awareness.
June 2013: Dr. Allan Somersall PhD, MD released The Amazing Power of Stem Cell Nutrition, the first ever book written about Stem Cell Nutrition. The response was so positive that it made the Best Seller List shortly after its release.
2012: Stemtech Applauds Nobel Prize Award Winner, Stem Cell Research
Stemtech applauds the Nobel Committee's selection of stem cell researchers John Gurdon of Great Britain and Shinya Yamanaka of Japan for the 2012 Prize in physiology and medicine.

Stemtech's President and CEO Ray C. Carter, Jr. said, "The award of this Nobel Prize further supports the recent momentum that sees adult stem cells as the most credible and promising answer to the major health challenges of our time."

2009: Industry Accolades

2007: Stemtech on the Rise
With the launch of stem cell nutrition, Stemtech grows exponentially. Growth is partially fueled by a groundbreaking clinical study published in the highly respected journal, Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine. This study helps to define Stemtech as the leader of the adult stem cell nutrition industry.
2005: Stemtech is Founded
With a unique product in their possession, the researchers needed a business partner who shared their passion for adult stem cell nutrition and their vision for the future. They found such a partner in Ray Carter, a seasoned business entrepreneur. Ray worked tirelessly to form Stemtech, launching the company with a single dietary supplement that supported stem cell release.
2000's: Amazing Discovery
Inspired by new developments in adult stem cell research, scientists were struck with a novel idea: what if this algae was somehow supporting the body in naturally releasing more stem cells?
Motivated by the new challenge, a research team went into high gear. More than 150 experiments later, the scientists experienced a breakthrough. At last, they had isolated the unique components responsible for the health benefits.
1980's – 1990's: Good News Travels Fast
The multitude of reports touting the results experienced by consumers of algae helped sales of the botanical soar. However, the secret to the plant's wide range of benefits had yet to be revealed.
1970's: Remarkable Beginnings
In the 1970s, a school teacher who was concerned about his student's lack of focus and energy wondered if his students would benefit from eating nutrient-dense algae. Inspired by the idea, the teacher began experimenting with a natural growing freshwater plant. Those who tried the algae reported remarkable benefits.

Although humans and animals are different in many ways, some advances in human medicine are also very useful for veterinary patients. One of these advances, diagnostic ultrasound, has proven to be a powerful tool in veterinary medicine. As a practice, one of our goals is to offer state-of-the-art medicine and diagnostic testing; so we are pleased to offer ultrasound services as a means of providing a higher level of quality care to our patients.
Ultrasonography is a type of diagnostic technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce an imaging study. This means that when we perform ultrasonography, we can see internal images of the patient's body. Unlike some other imaging studies, like x-rays, ultrasonography does not use radiation. Instead, ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound (ultrasound) waves to create a picture of what is inside your pet's body. Ultrasonography is a completely non-invasive, painless way to diagnose and evaluate many common diseases.
An ultrasound machine generates ultrasound waves. The machine is connected to a small probe that is held gently against your pet's skin. The probe sends out painless ultrasound waves that bounce off of structures (for example, organs) in your pet's body and return to a sensor inside the ultrasound machine. The ultrasound equipment collects these reflected "echoes" and uses them to generate images that are viewable on a screen. Ultrasound waves can generate excellent images of abdominal organs, including the liver, spleen, gallbladder, and kidneys. It is also useful for assessing fetal health and monitoring pregnancy in breeding animals, and it can help us diagnose and stage (determine the severity of) some forms of cancer.
Because ultrasound images are produced in real time, this technology can be used to evaluate the heart as it beats. This can help us detect abnormalities in the motion of heart valves, blood flow through the heart, and contractions of the heart muscle. It can also be used to assess the heart for defects. As we strive to provide our patients with the highest quality medicine and diagnostic testing, we are pleased to offer ultrasound as one of our diagnostic capabilities.

Choose your car
Seletron designs and manufactures additional control units to increase the power and improve the performance on Petrol and Diesel engine. The performance chip tuning modules created by Seletron are perfectly safe, fully produced in Italy, and tested under different conditions. What are you waiting for? Choose your car's brand, select the model, and discover which additional chip tuning unit is right for you!
Whether you drive an ABARTH, ALFA ROMEO, AUDI, BMW, CITROEN, FIAT, FORD, HYUNDAI, MERCEDES, RENAULT, SEAT, SKODA, VW, or any other brand of vehicle, Seletron can offer you an additional chip tuning unit specially designed for your engine. That is not all. Whether you have a diesel, petrol, LPG, methane, or hybrid engine, Seletron has a performance tuning module designed to perfectly suit your car, and it comes already specially mapped.
The main advantage of Seletron's chip tuning modules is that they improve engine settings without permanently modifying the engine. Unlike remapping, which makes permanent and traceable changes, the chip tuning modules are completely removable at any time. Each chip control unit arrives with a special kit containing all the materials and information necessary, not only for a quick and autonomous installation but also for easy and fast removal that can be completed by anyone, not just experts. In just a few minutes, your vehicle can be returned to its original factory settings, which is vital for maintenance under warranty. This, however, is not possible after a remapping procedure. All additional control units for increasing power, besides being removable, can also be deactivated in a few seconds using the switch or the remote.
If you trust Seletron, choose CHIPBOX®, the chip tuning module, suitable for all motors, which increases the power of your vehicle by up to 30%. Thanks to proper fuel management and turbine pressure, CHIPBOX® allows you to increase the power, and, by increasing the available torque in the mean rpm at which cars are normally driven, it allows you to shift earlier into higher gears with fewer changes, reducing fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Alternatively, you could opt for PEDALBOOSTER®, the performance tuning module that increases the power of the electronic accelerator pedal up to 100%. PEDALBOOSTER® connects through the original connectors in just a few minutes, optimizing the acceleration, increasing pedal sensitivity, and eliminating throttle valve delay. When purchasing, you can decide if you prefer PEDALBOOSTER® TOUCH or PEDALBOOSTER® CONNECT. The first is equipped with the exclusive TOUCH control that allows you to choose between three different preset modes and the PLUS mode, which can be customized to your preferences. Instead, the pedal accelerator module PEDALBOOSTER® CONNECT allows you to interact with the additional control unit directly from your smartphone. Simply download the free app and connect it to your CHIPBOX®, extremely easy and fast, no matter where you are. PEDALBOOSTER® will surprise you with an exceptional increase in driving pleasure.
Instead, if you want to control the sound of your car, choose EVC-SPORT, the electronic control unit that interfaces directly with the exhaust valve, allowing you to control electronically the opening and closing of the valve. EVC-SPORT is the perfect solution for obtaining a more powerful sound.
No matter which additional control unit you choose, you are buying a guaranteed Italian product of safe and certified quality, which has been tested and inspected. It can be installed in just a few minutes, by anyone, without needing professional assistance, by using the illustrated manual, or by watching the numerous tutorials available on the internet created by Seletron for our clients.
For the true enthusiast that would like to control and get the maximum sound from his car!

WASHINGTON: It's a road trip that could test the best of marriages: Mars.A tycoon announced plans Wednesday to send a middle-aged couple on a privately built spaceship to slingshot around the red planet and come back home, hopefully with their bodies and marriage in one piece after 501 days of no-escape togetherness in a cramped capsule half the size of an RV.
Under the audacious but bare-bones plan, the spacecraft would blast off less than five years from now and pass within 100 miles of the Martian surface. The cost was not disclosed, but outsiders put it at more than $1 billion.The team of space veterans behind the project hasn't quite figured out the technical details of the rocket they will use or the capsule the husband-and-wife astronauts will live in during the 16-month voyage. But they know it will be an adventure not for the weak of body or heart.
"This is not going to be an easy mission," chief technical officer and potential crew member Taber MacCallum said. "We called it the Lewis and Clark trip to Mars."The trying circumstances include: no showers, limits on toilet paper and clothing, drinking water made from the crew members' recycled urine and sweat, and almost no privacy. But the flight also comes with never-before-seen views of Mars. And there's ample time for zero-gravity sex in space, something NASA doesn't like to talk about.As for why a man and a woman will be selected, "this is very symbolic and we really need it to represent humanity," MacCallum said.
He said if it is a man and a woman on such a long, close-quarters voyage, it makes sense for them to be married so that they can give each other the emotional support they will probably need when they look out the window and see Earth get smaller and more distant: "If that's not scary, I don't know what is."The private, nonprofit project, called Inspiration Mars, will get initial money from NASA engineer-turned-multimillionaire investment consultant Dennis Tito, the first space tourist. The organizers hope to raise the rest through donations, advertising and media partnerships.
NASA, which has talked about sending astronauts to orbit Mars by the mid-2030s, will not be involved in this project. Instead, its backers intend to use a ship built by other aerospace companies, employing an austere design that could take people to Mars for a fraction of what it would cost the space agency to do with robots, officials said.Even though some of the hardware hasn't even been built, Tito said he is confident everything will come together by 2018 with no test flights.
It will be a stripped-down mission when it comes to automation and complexity, meaning the couple will have to fix things on the fly like TV's MacGyver and do more piloting than on NASA vehicles, said chief medical officer Jonathan Clark.The flight is timed to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation close approach of the two planets' orbits. The timeline calls for launch on Jan. 5, 2018, the Mars flyby on Aug. 20, 2018, and a return to Earth on May 21, 2019.
It involves huge risk, more than a government agency like NASA would normally permit, officials concede. For example, the spaceship will fly during a period when galactic cosmic rays will be high because of the sunspot cycle. That will increase the crew's cancer risk by about 3 percent, which is more than on any NASA mission, Clark said.The ship would also re-enter Earth's atmosphere at twice the speed of ordinary space capsules, something Tito said still needs to be worked out.
"Life is risky," said Clark, a former NASA flight surgeon whose astronaut wife died in the 2003 space shuttle Columbia accident. "Anything that's worth it is worth putting it all at stake for."What may be most at stake is the crew members' marriage. The couple will be selected within a year. MacCallum and his wife, Jane Poynter, hope to be picked. They were a couple when they participated in Biosphere 2, a sort of giant terrarium that was supposed to replicate a mission on another planet. Poynter said it was such a fraught experience psychologically that some participants wouldn't talk to each other for most of the two years.
But MacCallum said it brought him and Poynter closer together. He said the right couple going to Mars, if screened and counseled ahead of time, would come back with a stronger marriage.Poynter said the husband and wife need to be even-tempered. Clark said they should be post-childbearing age because of exposure to radiation. Poynter is 50, MacCallum 48.For the 30 years NASA has been flying men and women, it has avoided the question of sex in space. MacCallum said it will happen: "It's a man and wife. Private time. Let your imagination run wild."
In a statement, NASA spokesman David Steitz said the venture validates President Barack Obama's decision to rely more on private sector ingenuity to explore space, and is "a testament to the audacity of America's commercial aerospace industry and the adventurous spirit of America's citizen-explorers."He said "NASA will continue discussions with Inspiration Mars to see how the agency might collaborate on mutually beneficial activities."
Stanford University professor Scott Hubbard, NASA's former Mars mission chief, said the team's technical paper outlining the flight is "long on inspiration, short on technical details. What is there is correct."Other outside experts praised the expertise of the team but worried about the lack of testing.Former astronaut and current MIT aerospace engineering professor Jeff Hoffman said: "Since they don't plan to land on Mars, it's really a question of keeping people alive for 501 days in space, which is not an impossible task." – YahooNews

Consider making a year end gift to support life if you can, as they do a lot of work on a shoestring budget running both a crisis pregnancy center and maternity home.
Thank you so much for visiting!
As an artist in both photography and painting, as well as a catechist, I hope to share on these pages all things beautiful that inspire.
For the Love of Beauty is inspired by St. Augustine's reference to God as 'Beauty' in his Confessions (X, 27) when he writes, "Late have I loved Thee, O Beauty, so ancient and so new."
His name for God is both poetic and revealing. Beauty has been defined, since ancient times, as that which is perfectly ordered or that which is as it should be. Both definitions reflect a profound truth about God: that He is perfection, and His perfection is beautiful.
It is for the love of God, and for the restoration of all His creation to His own beautiful perfection, that I pursue my mission: To create images and share the Catholic Faith using only techniques and content that reflect His Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
I currently work for myself as a Catholic wedding, portrait and event photographer in the DC/MD/VA areas. My intention is to use this blog to not only share some of my photography and photo tips, but to also share other images and ideas from the broader world of art that inspire me and help shape my work. I love using art to teach from and pray with, so I'll look forward to sharing from time to time some of my favorite paintings that are rich in contemplative beauty.
An overview of my professional background:
• Photographer: Weddings, Portraits, Events, Fine Art

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Don Gonyea. Some news this week got us thinking about how radically our viewing habits are changing. The broadband service company, Sandvine, released a study that shows that Netflix and YouTube now account for more than half of the data we consume on fixed networks, which is to say at home or work. It's just one more bit of evidence that Americans are increasingly turning to online video sources for news and entertainment, rather than TV, which mean advertisers have to do the same.
To talk more about what advertisers are doing, we've called up Mike Shields, Adweek's digital editor. He joins us from our bureau in New York. Mike, welcome.
MIKE SHIELDS: Thank you.
GONYEA: So YouTube reigns supreme over Internet usage. What does that mean for advertisers who traditionally would have relied on television to find an audience?
SHIELDS: Well, it's interesting because for a lot of folks, let's say 35 or over, 40 or over, YouTube's a search engine for video. It's a place where you see viral videos. But for Millenials and younger, it's really like a primary form of entertainment. There are huge stars on YouTube who have massive followings. Kids and teens and tweens have subscribed to channels and have real relationships with these artists. And it's still a place where I think advertisers are reckoning with about how to advertise that environment.
On the flipside, every brand in the industry now is trying to become a publisher themselves and putting out YouTube videos. They're acting like media companies on YouTube.
GONYEA: And I've read that spending on online video advertising is expected to almost double just this year from last, to over $4 billion. What are the kind of ads that major companies are making for the YouTube audience?
SHIELDS: Really, right now the kind of ads you see on YouTube are repurposed TV ads. I mean, that's generally what brands have done. Everyone has always been crying out for advertisers to do something better, do something really over the Web and interactive. That's still, I would say, the exception right now. It's still mostly TV ads.
GONYEA: What's the risk in that?
SHIELDS: Well, the complaint you always hear is you're asking someone to sit through a 30-second ad running before a minute and a half of content. You know, the deal on TV is everybody complains about commercials but it's a pretty fair deal. You get a half-hour show, you get to watch maybe half a dozen commercials. The balance is kind of off when you're throwing TV spots in front of video content.
These brands spend, you know, half a million dollars on a TV spot. They don't necessarily inclined to do something unique for the Web. They want to get the most out of that and reuse it.
GONYEA: At some point it seems like they're going to have to flip that though.
SHIELDS: Yeah, I mean, these things take time. There's a lot of inertia in the television business. I mean, you're talking about Web video advertising doubling but, you know, the TV industry's still really healthy. It might also be like a generational change that has to happen, you know. The guys that control the dollars are still of a certain age and generation. Things have tended to move slow in this regard.
GONYEA: Let's go back to the experience of watching an ad on YouTube. We're going to play a clip of a ChapStick ad that we heard on YouTube this morning.
GONYEA: That feels like one of those television ads.
SHIELDS: Well, the first thing I think of is someone's going to be reaching for the skip button really quick. That's the thing about YouTube. Google sells what they call true view ads on YouTube, which let you skip after a certain number of seconds. You know, there's people in the ad industry that think that's an impossible burden.
Even in a 30-second spot, some of these things have to build over time, right, so it's a very difficult bar.
GONYEA: I find myself watching that five-second countdown and not even looking at the ad.
SHIELDS: Yeah, I mean, that's tough. You know, you can train yourself on the Web to not pay attention to bad ads. People have gotten really good about that. And now with Web video, you train yourself to, like, OK, I'm watching a video; I'm gearing up to skip at soon as I can. I think that's why you're seeing a lot of brands saying, you know what? We're going to be content producers ourselves; play made-for-the-Web spots that are a minute or two minutes long.
They're not skipable because they are the content. You're going to have a new generation of creative artists that have to think a really different way for the YouTube world.
GONYEA: Mike Shields is the digital editor at Adweek. Thanks for joining us.
SHIELDS: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
