In John 12 Mary of Bethany interrupts the dinner party given in Jesus' honor at Simon's house to anoint his head and feet with pure nard. This perfumed resin cost a year's wage. Mary broke the neck of the bottle containing the nard so that it could not be saved (Mark 14.3). The entire house was filled with the fragrance of it. In order to work the perfumed oil into Jesus feet, and to remove the excess, Mary wiped Jesus' feet with her hair. This act was so outrageous, so intimate that it upset the others at the dinner party. Judas openly complained about the waste of money. Jesus defends Mary, explaining that she has anointed Him ahead of time for his burial. He does more than defend her, he celebrates her. He demands that wherever the Gospel is preached Mary, and her kind gesture is to be remembered (Mark 14.7-9).
This gesture is so intimate that we had a hard time staging it for Vacation Bible School last summer. We made sure we got a husband and wife to play Jesus and Mary because we would not ask a woman to wipe a random man's feet with her hair. We made sure we asked a newly wedded couple because we doubted most married women would agree to wipe their husband's feet with their hair. Luckily we had a couple who were just married to play the roles of Jesus and Mary. They carried off the scene perfectly. It was startling to behold. Seeing it in person – how shocking this gesture is, and understanding that those first century Jews were closer culturally to fundamentalist Muslims than to us jaded Westerners – emphasized dramatically the radical nature of the moment.
It wasn't the first time something like this had happened to Jesus. Earlier, at the home of a Pharisee (also named Simon) a prostitute interrupted dinner to weep at Jesus' feet (Luke 7.36-50). She bathed Jesus' feet with her tears and wipes them with her hair. Simon, an important Pharisee was insulted at this intrusion, and thought that if Jesus were truly a prophet he would know what kind of woman was taking such liberties. Jesus defended the woman, explaining that she is only showing gratitude for the forgiveness she has been given. He exposed the way Simon has mistreated him, refusing him basic hospitality, and compared that treatment with the radical devotion of this unnamed prostitute.
In both instances we see women bravely breaking society's rules to express their gratitude and devotion to Jesus. Jesus receives and appreciates these gestures. Jesus is also careful to fully explain the significance of both gestures, and make clear His appreciation of them. He wants to make sure we understand that both women are sincere. Their gestures are as natural as a sunrise. We need to take notice, to learn, to follow.
There is something else. Jesus is wholly unconcerned about our uneasiness. It is almost like He is saying, "This makes you uncomfortable? Well grow up!" If we cannot appreciate the purity and beauty of these women who, for different reasons wiped Jesus' feet with their hair – even after Jesus carefully explains everything – we are beyond Jesus' patience. Jesus is not going to accommodate our narrowness. He is not going to hide these gestures, nor ask these ladies to tone their acts of devotion down.
No. Both women are in the Gospel record. God made sure of it. In Mary's case Jesus says her act of kindness should be part of the preaching of the Gospel wherever the Gospel is preached. We cannot avoid them. Every Gospel has one of these stories. Gratitude and devotion will naturally produce radical, unashamed acts of kindness. When this happens Jesus notices, understands, and is glad.
Do we have a problem with that?
A few years ago the actor and activist Michael J. Fox wrote a memoir of his life after receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. His courage in the face of this debilitating disorder has been an inspiration. The title of his memoir, Lucky Man, calls to mind another celebrity associated with another terrible disorder. Lou Gehrig, whose name so represents Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) that almost everyone knows it as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," famously ended his farewell to the fans at Yankee Stadium in 1939 by declaring, "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Gehrig meant what he said. The gratitude in his voice was unmistakable. Both men use the word "lucky" to mean blessed.
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington is not associated with any particular disorder or disease (although he did die of Lung cancer). He lived a seemingly charmed life, despite facing entrenched racism every day. In 1955 Duke Ellington told Edward R. Murrow that his success and longevity was due to "85% luck." Duke, at the time, was at the height of his powers, his reputation had never been greater, and his life seemed to be an unfurling ribbon of prosperity and achievement. He attributed this to luck – the randomness of good fortune.
Sportscasters often remind us it is "more important to be lucky than good." The Bible says something surprisingly similar. Ecclesiastes 9.11 states: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to men of wisdom, but time and chance happen to all.
I am a lucky man, myself. Last year, in this very space I wrote a piece demonstrating that the odds of winning the lottery are better than the odds of enjoying all the blessings I have been given (health, American citizenship, Christian upbringing, stable home, advanced degree, et cetera). These blessings are from God, as is every good and perfect gift (James 1.17). This makes me deeply grateful and profoundly afraid. I am grateful because none of it is deserved. I am afraid because I feel things will eventually even out - as my old dominoes buddy, Maggie Burcham used to say, "There is a board waiting for every behind." I wonder if receiving such an abundance of blessings is a product of chance, or of intention. Have I been lucky or have I been blessed?
Either alternative is problematic. It is hard to think that something like pure luck even exists in a world where the fall of a single sparrow is noted by God (Matthew 10.29). In fact the word translated "chance" in Ecclesiastes 9.11 describes unforeseen factors, not randomness. It describes the limits of human perception, not the chaos of the universe. However, if I am blessed, not just lucky, what does that say about God's fairness? I am not a particularly good person. Why have I been given so much? Why do others suffer so?
Jesus, interestingly, uses the weather to explain God's blessings, and His love of his enemies (Matthew 5.45). God causes the rain to fall on the just and the unjust equally. Does this mean that God orders each rainfall, or that He set in motion a meteorological system that doesn't morally discriminate?
Whatever Jesus means, He gives us a handle on the question of luck by using the weather to explain blessings. Weather is so complex that it has yet to yield itself to our mathematics. We are better at predicting it than we used to be – but the 7 Day Forecast on your evening news is no more accurate than the Old Farmer's Almanac. Think of all the possible paths we are shown every time a hurricane forms in the Atlantic. Hour to hour we are guessing. We cannot manage the weather, nor alter it – or even predict it with much accuracy. Maybe what we call "luck" isn't random at all. Maybe the rubric of life and blessing is so complex that it looks like chaos to a finite human mind.
Despite that complexity, simple truths emerge we cannot ignore. God knows. God reigns. God blesses. We know He is the source of every good thing. We know to be thankful, and to say so. What else do we need to know?
The 1860 presidential race between Lincoln, Douglass, and Breckenridge was one of the most bitter in U.S. history. The tall, lanky Lincoln, and the short, doughty Douglas had been rivals since they both sat in the parlor of Mary Todd, vying for her hand - round 1 to Lincoln. Then they fought bitterly over the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) which Douglas sponsored. It set aside the Missouri Compromise, and made it possible for slavery to spread west. Lincoln's best early speech is his address given in opposition to this act. It is uncharacteristically seasoned with anger and sarcasm. The act became law – round 2 to Douglas. The men famously opposed each other for the seat of junior senator from Illinois in 1856. Douglas won the election, when the majority democrats voted early and often, but because of their highly publicized debates Lincoln became a national figure – round three was a draw.
During the presidential race of 1860 Lincoln didn't campaign in the Deep South. He wasn't even on the ballot there. The democrats were split between Douglass and Breckenridge. Douglas was the biggest racist of the two, and the more virulent advocate of slavery – but he was pro-union. Brackenridge was a garden-variety racist, but he was pro-secession. When Douglas campaigned in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina he was so reviled that he often could not leave his train. He was cursed, spat upon, and pelted with rotten vegetables wherever he went. Breckenridge split the ticket, Lincoln won the election, and South Carolina seceded before the inauguration – round 4 goes to war.
As Lincoln rose to give his first inaugural address (a masterpiece), he removed his iconic stove-pipe hat, holding it with one hand while fumbling his notes with his other. Stephen Douglas, who was sitting just an arm's length away, offered to hold his hat. Lincoln gratefully handed it to him, and began his plea that we listen to our "better angels."
In my mind, I have kept Stephen Douglas in that subset of history's villains which includes Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, and the Jenner/Kardashian clan. But this unexpected gesture of kindness makes me reconsider. Why was he so quick to show this kindness? I don't know. Maybe he had a new perspective on the whole issue of slavery and union after his campaign experience. Maybe one can be polite and a racist at the same time. Maybe the gesture was a reflex, and has no meaning at all – but it gives me pause.
Random acts of kindness do that. They make us notice, re-compute, reconsider, appreciate. Why else would Jesus remind us of the value of a single cup of water given in His name? This comment about the cup of water, found in Matthew 10.40-42 provides the two key moments from Lew Wallace's grand novel, Ben Hur. Wallace, incidentally, was a Union General in the Civil War. The key moment early in his book is the offering of a cup of water to Judah Ben Hur by Jesus. In the climax of the book, he returns the kindness as Jesus struggles towards Golgotha. The scenes are powerful, in the book, the 1925 silent film, and the 1959 Oscar-winning blockbuster. The scenes are powerful because the truth is powerful. A single cup of water can make things better.
Jesus reminds us that in the end we will be judged based upon our record of kindness (Matthew 25.31-46). Tending to the hungry, the thirsty, the homeless, the distressed, the sick will be the difference which separates sheep from goats. Most of us will never be president of anything. Few of us will achieve anything historic. All of us can be kind – moment to moment, one person at a time – and Jesus says this makes all the difference.
Three times God visibly demonstrates that He cares how we worship Him. At the beginning of each age He meted out extreme punishment to those who would worship him as they please and not as He instructs. Sam Bates, in a powerful sermon yesterday morning, covered the last two of those times. Jack Powers preached another great sermon last night on the first of those times.
The writer of the book of Hebrews begins his treatise by dividing human history into three periods based upon the way God has communicated with us (Hebrews 1.1-2). God spoke to the "fathers," "through the prophets," and "through His Son." Each method of communication is appropriate to its time. Early on, when humans were without written language, before the Phonecians had invented the alphabet, God spoke to the "fathers" – the heads of households. Adam, Abraham, Noah and the others knew what God wanted because He spoke to them directly. Later God gave his people written texts. The 10 Commandments were written on stone by God Himself. The Law, the Writings, and the Prophets were recorded on scrolls. His people didn't have to wait for a voice from heaven to know what to do. They could consult the text. In the fullness of time God sent His Son. Now we know God by knowing Jesus. We are disciples – we are a family of followers, not of rules-keepers. We are saved by Grace, not by Law. The text is still primary because the text reveals Jesus.
In each age the worship God seeks is appropriate to the time as well. In the age of the "fathers" there seems to be no structured system – people of faith sacrificed their best to express their devotion. Jack Powers pointed out in his sermon that when Cain and Abel came to sacrifice Abel brought his best, while Cain just brought something (Genesis 4.1-16). God does not accept Cain's offering, and explains clearly what Cain needs to do. Cain sulks, kills his brother, and is cursed by God. On Mount Sinai God gave the Israelites a rigidly structured system of sacrifices and observances. At the beginning of the Mosaic age Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu offered strange incense to God and He consumed them with fire (Leviticus 10.1-3). After Pentecost this rigid and elaborate system of sacrifices and observances was obsolete. After the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 it became extinct. Christian worship is simple and sincere. In the earliest days of Christianity God struck Ananias and Sapphira dead after they lied about their offering (Acts 5.1-11). Sam compared Leviticus 10 with Acts 5 and concluded that God demands to be worshipped the way He wants, not in ways that suit us.
Of course God's way of worshipping does suit us – all of us together. We sing, we pray, we preach, we share a common meal, we give. These items of worship are suitable to the entire human population. They transcend century, culture, and continent. The Romans, almost overnight, made it impossible to worship as an Old Testament Jew. No one can keep us from worshipping as New Testament Christians. Every culture prays, sings, shares meals, shares abundance, shares words. We do not need temples, orchestras, altars, or a genetically pure priesthood. God has jettisoned all but the universal. The Gospel is for all – so also is Christian worship.
When we add things: temples, orchestras, altars, a separate priesthood et cetera - we exclude people who do not have these things. Paul in Romans 14 is clear - in our private devotions we have been given wide latitude. As long as our devotion is sincere, God accepts our personal acts of worship in the spirit we offer them. But when we come together we should not expect our corporate worship to be customized to our personal tastes. Christian worship is designed to include everyone. Its purpose is to bring God glory – not to please or entertain an audience. God has specified in His Word how we do this. We should take this all very seriously, as our two preachers reminded us yesterday.
God has clearly demonstrated that He takes it seriously.
And He himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there. Mark 14.15 (See also Luke 22.12)
It is a fact established by the dual witnesses of Mark and Luke that Jesus observed the Passover in an upstairs room. He instituted the Communion supper we share every Lord's Day in that upstairs room. Paul makes it clear in I Corinthians 11.14-34 that Jesus established the pattern we follow when we observe weekly Communion service. Paul and later Luke record that Jesus intends we follow this pattern (I Corinthian 11.25, Luke 22.20). We observe the Communion service every Lord's Day because we know that was the practice of the early Church (Acts 20.7-12). That Communion service described in Acts 20 took place upstairs as well – on the third floor (v.9).
We are careful to reenact every aspect of the Lord's Supper as described in scripture. We share unleavened bread and the juice of the grape. We remember the words Jesus spoke. We observe it every Lord's Day. We emphasize that the Lord's Supper is "separate and apart" from the offering. We insist (as we should – what moment of our week is more sacred?) that we get everything right. Why then have we shown no concern for observing communion upstairs? Jesus instituted the Supper upstairs. The one Communion service we have described in the book of Acts takes place upstairs. Shouldn't we do the same?
If so, I have some questions:
Would a main floor above a basement suffice?
Do we need to do this on a third floor? (see Acts 20.9)
What about those who worship on a main floor not above a basement? Are they worshipping in error?
What about my grandmother Bryson? She attended a church without a second floor or a basement. Will she be saved? What about all the thousands of saints in the same situation – are they lost?
You may protest that the Bible never (NEVER!) makes an issue of upstairs or downstairs concerning the Communion service - that to do so is to go farther than responsible study allows. If that is your answer, my response is a resounding "Amen!" I could not agree more.
Let us listen to our collective wisdom on this point and continue to apply it to ourselves. Let us see how easy it is to take a verse or two and erect an edifice of orthodoxy neither built nor sanctioned by God, but that comes from our own faulty reasoning, preferences, and personal prejudices.
Let us rigorously apply the standard of the word (II Timothy 3.16-17). Let us speak where the Bible speaks, be silent where the Bible is silent, and give issues exactly the amount of attention and emphasis the Bible gives them – no more and no less.
If this is not our standard, any number of oppressive and unbiblical rules will be accepted as normative – as the very fulcrum of the faith. Such a faith will not be Biblical faith, but a faith we have concocted ourselves from bits and oddities we have chosen as we (to borrow a phrase from Jesus "neglect the weightier matters of the law" (Matthew 23.23).

So how do you gauge the value of such guns? I just got a Krag its a SRS hit with lots of history now how do I know the value
like you said Dick "Silver lining in the cloud for those who have the data and are interested in Krags, and history: There are about 70 carbines with the SAME citation - mine is 70210. Something to look for - perhaps not at the level of LBH carbines, but getting darn close".

8 cups of rice krispy cereal
8 tbsp butter
2 14 oz bags of candy corn marshmallows (seasonal)
yellow food coloring
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Melt 4 tbsp butter in heavy bottom pan on medium heat.
Once the butter is melted add in 1 14 oz bag of the candy corn marshmallows. Stirring gently and continuously until all of the marshmallows have melted.
Add in 4 cups of rice krispy cereal and mix well.
To make a round 'pizza like' rice krispy treat (so you can cut it into triangles) I use a foil pizza pan. You can find them at any store. Mine was a total of 16 inches but I only made about a 12 inch circle. (I didn't cover the entire pan).
Butter the pan that you are using so it's easy to shape the rice krispy treat into a circle.
The first batch will be orange (the marshmallows turn them orange) that's ok because we will dip the tip in white chocolate.
Dump the rice krispy (1st batch unto buttered pan) and use a buttered spatula or greased hands to shape into 5 inch circle.
Now, start second batch. Melt butter (4 tbsp) add in 2nd bag of marshmallows and 3-5 drops of yellow food coloring and then the remaining 4 cups of the rice krispy cereal.
Shape this batch around the first circle. This will be the outer part of the candy corn (the yellow part).
Let the rice krispy treat set for 3-4 hours.
Then melt white chocolate.
then carefully cut the rice krispy treat into triangles (like pizza slices) and dip each candy corn into the white chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set for 10-15 minutes (I just lay them onto wax paper so they don't stick!

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Ileana DCruz, Padmini Kolhapure, Darshan Jariwala, Naveen Prabhakar, Zakir Hussain, Mithilesh Chaturvedi, Salman Khan, Nargis FakhriLanguage: HindiBanner: Tips Music FilmsDirector: Rajkumar SantoshiProducer: Ramesh S TauraniCamera: Ravi YadavStory: Rajkumar SantoshiScreenplay: Rajkumar SantoshiDialogue: Rajkumar SantoshiLyrics: Irshad Kamil, Amitabh BhattacharyaMusic: Pritam ChakrabortyYear: 2013
Phata Poster Nikla Hero is a comedy cum action movie directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi and produced by Ramesh Taurani. The lead casts of the movie are Shahid Kapoor and Ileana DCruz. The movie is released on 20th September.
The story line shows a young and aspiring actor Vishwas Rao (Shahid Kapoor) who dreams of becoming an actor. His mother (Padmini Kolhapuri) is an auto rickshaw driver and prays for her son to become a cop. Certain funny incidences take place and people start perceiving him as a real cop. So an aspiring actor becomes a fake cop. The humorous part of the movie begins when Vishwas Rao fights goons but is extra cautious not to let his face get injured as he is an aspiring actor. So the action sequences are quite funny and entertaining.
Kaajal (Ileana DCruz) is a social worker whose motto in life is to file complaints against bad people in the police station. Since she stands against politicians and powerful people, policemen want to avoid her. She is so frequent to the police station that policemen call her Complaint Kaajal. Unknowingly she drags Vishwas in one of her complaints.
Vishwas shares a warm bond with her mother. The bonding between mother-son duo is worth watching. Since police and goons start believing Vishwas Rao to be an inspector, what follows is a series of circuitous instances. Also mother and son get into the crossfire between police and goons.
The music of the movie is given by Pritam. The songs are penned down by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Irshad Kamil. The song Tu Mere Agal Bagal is a refreshing number filmed at a construction site in the scorching weather of 45 degress. Yet Shahid pulled it off sportingly. Dhating Naach is filmed on Shahid and Nargis Fakhri. The song is filmed on an extravagant set. It delivers the essence. Says Nargis, I love to dance and when this opportunity came my way, I jumped at it. Also, Shahid is one of the best dancers in the industry, so how could I not do it?
Shahid is at its acting best. He has proved that he has the guts to tickle the funny bones. It was a new genre for Ileana. But she has also delivered a convincing performance.
Overall, a sweet and humorous movie. It can be a stress buster over the weekend.

Here's our top NBA pick for tonight's showdown between Clippers & Warriors. Los Angeles has fared a lot better than many people were ready to accept while Golden State has begun to slow down.
The Los Angeles Clippers Can Win Because…
Their stars are playing like stars. It's true that Los Angeles center DeAndre Jordan made a very big mistake in Wednesday night's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, but that one goof-up should not obscure all the work Jordan is doing for his team. Jordan has been an absolute beast on the glass over the past six games. In those six games, Jordan has snagged at least 17 rebounds. That is simply preposterous. Jordan has realized that he needed to carry more of the workload with Griffin on the shelf, and that's exactly what he's done. He's playing the part of an elite center in the Association.
Chris Paul is also carrying himself like an elite player. He scored 36 points Wednesday in Portland against the Trail Blazers, thoroughly outplaying his counterpart, Damian Lillard. If Jordan has been a machine in terms of rebounding, Paul has been the very same thing in terms of assists. Paul has dished out at least 10 assists in his last six games, as the Clippers have managed to win at Memphis and at Chicago, among other places. The Clippers let one slip away against Portland, but they did outplay the Blazers most of the way. No Blake Griffin, no problem – the Clippers look like a team that can contend in the Western Conference. They should also feel they have a shot against a Golden State team which, in the past few weeks, has lost to the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets.
The Golden State Warriors Can Win Because…
NBA Odds are favoring the Warriors by 7.5, as they're the better team, and they're back at home where they usually dominate opponents. It's true that Golden State has slowed down a little bit, but only a little. The Warriors are 7-3 in their last 10 instead of the 9-1 which was common for the month of January. However, Golden State just got through one of the toughest parts of an NBA schedule: not a back-to-back set of games, but the dreaded "four games in five nights on the road" gauntlet. Going through that kind of wringer is always tough, but it's going to be especially tough at this later stage in the season. Golden State came home and got two wins against good teams, Milwaukee and Dallas. The Warriors were okay against Milwaukee, coming back from their extended road swing in the Midwest and the East, but they crushed Dallas and looked like the best team in the NBA while doing so. Playing at home yet again, the Warriors should be very comfortable, and ready to send off the Clippers. One indication that the Warriors have not fallen off too much is that they still have a plus-10 (or better) point differential, at 10.2. That's outrageously good, and it shows the Warriors are still where they ought to be.
The Warriors have improved as the week has gone on. They should be ready to play at their customarily high level – especially at home. If they do, they're the best team in basketball, so take them with your NBA picks.

First of all, hey everyone, I'm new here, I found out about this place while looking for a place to host my game. Don't know if this is the proper place to introduce myself, but I might as well kill two birds with one stone. So, nice to meet you :).
Alright, the game is a pretty unforgiving platformer starring a princess who hits things with her head to smash them. It's my first game and I wanted to keep it simple but I tried a couple of weird stuff, like losing your balance if you're too close to an edge, jumping by releasing the jump button (pressing it charges the jump) and not having too much control in the air. All these combined make the game less about having good reflexes where you'd get out of a sticky situation by a last moment jump, and more about being aware of the environment, since there can't be a last moment jump unless you've prepared it.
EDIT: Since I like customization and got a complaint about the mechanics being too hard, I'm now also including an .exe that allows players to choose which of the above to have in their game.
There's also plenty of NPCs and cutscenes. Talky stuff. Doesn't really have much to do with gameplay, but I thought I'd mention it.
Here's an image that isn't on the game's page:

We soon met up, he was better looking n person and had a sort of rakish air around him that oozed confidence and some to the effect that 'I'm the shit'. Anyway our initial encounter was OK - no fireworks there. We talked about general stuff, friends we had in common, family, where we went to school. And before I forget he was slightly older than me, OK 5 years older. Anyway as time went on he became I begun to realise how little we had in common. For instance he liked the kind of music that came out of a computer, I liked anything made before 1975. In fact the more we talked the older I felt. My Knight in shinning armour begun to look like a little boy - a Mannish Boy.
What especially annoyed and fascinated me was his self-confidence. For instance here one phone conversation went like this:
ME: Your good looking chap
HIM: I know
ME: Do you want to rephrase that statement, maybe think about it a little?
HIM: Nope
ME: I'm going to hang up now!
And I did. The cheeky little shit! I couldn't believe the ego and the nerve on him. Anyway I soon lost my rose-coloured glasses and saw him for what he was, a selfish prick. And then the voice in my head screamed 'The writing's on the wall bitch!' And sure enough the signs were all there. He once kept me waiting for him at a popular Westie hangout for 2 freaking hours without a call or text until one of my Girl friends hit me on the head and said "This nigga aint coming. Ebu, where is your dignity?" And she had a point, that and she was looking to get hammered on the cheap. Later that week he came up with some lame excuse that went something like "Where were you that night?"
Anyway the point of all this is that looks and age can be deceiving. The Mannish Boy like the one in that Muddy Waters' song has grown up in a bubble. In this case this guy's looks rendered him into a state of permanent immaturity. It may be true to say that we didn't hit it off and that there were not mutual feelings of giddy romance -maybe lust- but I felt slightly mistreated and maybe just a tad used. Anyway Nairobi s full of theses Mannish Boys and many people are oblivious to it.
As a general rule of thumb, if a guy or gal dosen't call/ txt and stands you up without explanation then you best be running in the opposite direction!

Terri Schiavo's family joins fight to prevent starvation of teen declared 'legally dead' by hospital | LifeSiteNews.com.
January 3, 2013
1/6/2013 UPDATE: Jahi McMath has been moved to an undisclosed location. Read about it on the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation website.
GETTING ORGANS IS THE REASON FOR NEW DEFINITION OF DEATH, i.e., "Brain Death."
Terri's Network said they believe the teen's situation is "representative of a very deep problem within the U.S. healthcare system – particularly those issues surrounding the deaths of patients within the confines of hospital corporations, which have a vested financial interest in discontinuing life."
Both Terri's Network and Jahi's family and supporters argue that California's current definition of death allows doctors to put living patients to death in order to harvest their healthy organs.
According to Dr. Paul Byrne, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Toledo who has personally examined Jahi, people do not "become dead" because doctors declare them 'brain dead,' "although they intend it that way." Byrne previously told LifeSiteNews the reason doctors have fought so hard to establish 'brain death' as the criterion for legal death is that dead organs cannot be transplanted into living bodies. Transplant organs must be harvested from the living, he said. Legally defining death as a lack of significant brain activity allows surgeons to harvest viable vital organs before true death renders them unusable.
"Brain death was invented, conjured, made-up to get organ transplants," Byrne said. "If doctors can, they will take this young girl's organs."
According to Byrne, only New York and New Jersey have conscience clauses that protect patients who have been declared brain dead from being taken off life support against the will of their legal guardians. "In the other 48 states, there is nothing in their laws to give any kind of protection to the person declared brain dead," Byrne told LSN. "All of the laws — and I mean all of them — all revolve around getting organs."

Franklin, Tenn.-based CHS plans to use the proceeds to pay down debt, the company said."This transaction is a significant step in our strategic work to optimize our portfolio and operations for the future," CHS CEO Wayne Smith said in a news release announcing the deal.
"These hospitals play an important role in their communities and can benefit from Steward Health Care's community-based care model going forward."Nine-hospital Steward received a cash infusion to set it up for growth late last year.Medical Properties Trust, a real estate investment trust that specializes in hospital real-estate investments, paid Steward $1.2 billion to purchase all of Steward's hospital real estate.As part of the deal announced in September, Birmingham, Ala.-based MPT also invested $50 million in Steward's equity and committed to spending up to another $1 billion for the real estate of hospitals that Steward acquires nationally.
Terms were not immediately disclosed.Three of the hospitals are in Florida, three in Ohio and two in Pennsylvania.The eight hospitals double the number of hospitals that struggling CHS has agreed to sell since it began restructuring last summer by selling assets to stanch operating losses and reduce a $15 billion debt load.Steward, a growing for-profit system based in Boston, has agreed to buy 119-bed Wuesthoff Health System-Melbourne (Fla.); 298-bed Wuesthoff Health System-Rockledge (Fla.); 154-bed Sebastian River Medical Center in Sebastian, Fla.; 355-bed Northside Medical Center in Youngstown, Ohio; 311-bed Trumbull Memorial Hospital and 69-bed Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital in Warren, Ohio; 258-bed Sharon (Pa.)

Centre for Connectivity in the Roman world - Projects
Big data on the Roman table
Big data on the Roman table is an AHRC-funded research network that examines the artefacts associated with eating and drinking which constitute the largest component of 'big data' from the Roman world. These under-utilised data provide fine-grained information on Roman food-consumption practices essential for a bottom-up approach to varied experiences of phenomena such as imperialism and globalisation. An artefactual approach permits analyses of representative cross-sections of societies throughout the empire, and more understanding of the lives of people less well recorded in the written sources (e.g. women, children, ordinary soldiers, non-élites, provincials), while also incorporating more visible groups such as urban elites.
Dr Martin Pitts with Penelope Allison, University of Leicester.
Migration, Mobility and Place in Ancient Italy
(Cambridge University Press forthcoming)
The monograph investigates the nature and extent of human mobility in and through Italy in the last 500 years BC as well as attitudes to the outsider. In light of the high levels of population movement, it analyses the 'constructed' nature of place and how the mechanism of its construction affects community membership and identity. It explores forms of viability and alternative mapping practices in a world without nation states and borders.
For further details see https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/classics/staff/isayev/research/.

Integration in the Roman Republic: the North-East of Hispania Citerior (133-72 BC)
The project will be looking at the role of the Roman Army as an agent of Romanisation, with both the literary and archaeological evidence being considered.
Dr Mike Dobson
Globalisation and the Roman world
Arising from a workshop held at the Devon and Exeter Institution in April 2011, this project represents the first in-depth critical exploration of the application of globalisation theories to the Roman empire. The resultant book Globalisation and the Roman world (Cambridge University Press, 2015) features the contributions of several prominent Roman archaeologists, historians, and a global sociologist in order to determine the value of globalisation for understanding the Roman empire. The project concludes that the globalisation discourse offers a range of alternative conceptual frameworks for bringing new understandings of the Roman world and its material culture.
Watch the video for commentary from the editors Miguel John Versluys (introducing the book) and Martin Pitts (responding to expert panellists) at a roundtable held to launch the book at Leiden University in October 2015.
Mapping Migration in Roman Iberia
Despite current political debates about population movement to and within Europe, historians typically now regard migration as a normal and structural element of human societies. This Leverhulme-funded project considers whether the new paradigm holds for the Roman world, using Iberia as a case study. It draws on the rich body of epigraphic data testifying to population movement in the region, which is digitally catalogued on the Hispania Epigraphica website. These inscriptions will be mapped for the first time and linked to a searchable database, which will be made available online, enabling a fuller exploration of the dynamics of Roman regional population movement.

Charles Alfred Euston FitzRoy, 10th Duke of Grafton (4 June 1892 – 11 November 1970), known as Charles FitzRoy until 1936, was a British aristocrat, soldier, politician, and farmer.
Background and education[edit]
He was born at Euston Hall near Thetford, the eldest son of the Reverend Lord Charles Edward FitzRoy and of his wife, Hon. Ismay FitzRoy, daughter of Charles FitzRoy, 3rd Baron Southampton. His paternal grandparents were Augustus FitzRoy, 7th Duke of Grafton, and Anna Balfour. Another ancestor, Anne Warren, was the daughter of Admiral Sir Peter Warren and a descendant of the Schuyler family, the Van Cortlandt family, and the Delancey family, all from British North America.[1]
He was educated at Wellington and then at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.
Military career[edit]
In 1911, he joined the Royal Welch Fusiliers, who were stationed at Quetta in what is now Pakistan. In 1914, soon after the outbreak of the Great War, he went to France, and in 1917, he was appointed as aide-de-camp and comptroller to Lord Buxton, Governor General of South Africa. He remained in South Africa until 1920. In 1921, he retired from the army.
He became a farmer at Coney Weston in Suffolk. From 1927 to 1936, he was land agent for his first wife's maternal uncle[2] Owen Hugh Smith at Langham in Rutland. In 1936, he succeeded his cousin as Duke of Grafton and inherited the family estates based at Euston Hall.
He married, firstly, Lady Doreen Maria Josepha Sydney Buxton (29 November 1897 – 28 July 1923), daughter of his commanding officer Sydney Buxton, 1st Earl Buxton, and his wife, Mildred Anne Smith, on 24 January 1918. They had three children:
- Hugh Denis Charles FitzRoy, 11th Duke of Grafton (3 April 1919 – 7 April 2011).
- Lady Anne Mildred Ismay FitzRoy (born 7 August 1920), married Major Colin Dalzell Mackenzie and had issue.
- Lord Charles Oliver Edward FitzRoy (1923–1944), killed in action; unmarried.
A year after his first wife's death, he married, secondly, Lucy Eleanor Barnes (25 December 1897 – 11 September 1943), daughter of Sir George Stapylton Barnes and of his wife, Sybil de Gournay Buxton. The ceremony took place on 6 October 1924. Lucy was the first cousin of Charles' first wife. They had two children:
- Lord Edward Anthony Charles FitzRoy (26 August 1928 – 25 November 2007), married Veronica Mary Ruttledge and had issue.
- Lord Michael Charles FitzRoy (1932–1954), died in the Solomon Islands (missing, presumed drowned).
The year after his second wife's death, he married, thirdly, Rita Emily Carr-Ellison (24 October 1911 – 24 August 1970), daughter of John Ralph Carr-Ellison and of his wife, Alice Ursula Lang. The ceremony took place on 18 July 1944.
He died at Bury St Edmunds on 11 November 1970.

A little confession, off the bat: I was a first-time cruiser, and I didn't hate it. In fact, I unabashedly embraced it.
If you fashion yourself a Traveller vs. a Tourist, how you travel is as important as where you travel (if not more so). That's why a little shiver crawled down my spine when my Mother-In-Law-To-Be announced we'd be taking a Caribbean cruise over Christmas. As someone who has long balked at the idea of a floating mega-resort packed with bougie gray-hairs, I was essentially throwing myself into a Traveller's nightmare – or so I thought.
Over seven days in December, I called Holland America's ms Nieuw Amsterdam home, quickly discovering that there are ways to cruise without feeling like a mindless tourist (although, not taking advantage of free room service would be wasteful).
- Meet the locals – …and by locals, I mean the ship's crew. The Nieuw Amsterdam employs 929 staff members from around the world, primarily from the Philippines and Indonesia. Each and every one of them – from the bartender at the casino to the en-suite attendants to the waiters in the dining room – were ridiculously friendly. By the bottom of our first margarita, we had gotten to know 2 lovely bartenders from Manila who were more than happy to share stories of sailing around the world, going back to the Philippines for holidays and their favourite ports of call. We even managed to get some intel on the best out-of-the-way places to explore once we docked – all before the end of our first night at sea. Over the course of our trip, I traded engagement and marriage traditions with Grace from Zambia in the salon, crooned (albeit poorly) with fellow Canadian Greg at the piano bar, and learned a few words of a traditional Indonesian Christmas tune from some merry carolers. Due to the close-ish quarters and hours of leisure that unfurl before you mid-sea, you may even establish a stronger connection to 'the locals' than during longer, over-land expeditions.
- Ports of Call: You Can Go Your Own Way – Expect to spend approximately 6 – 8 hours at each port of call; with limited time to explore, you'll want to get the biggest bang for your buck. The pre-packaged tours can sound tempting (and hey, if they're your thing, by all means!) But for us, the concept of air-conditioned 15-passenger vans, manufactured experiences and convenient 'rest' stops at the gift shop kept us from pulling the trigger. Instead, we scoped out the port via our new friends on the ship, then ventured out and away from the crowds until we spotted a friendly-looking local to point us in a promising direction. In St. Thomas, a local shopkeeper hailed us a cab to the most beautiful, pristine and secluded beach we'd ever set eyes on. Not only were there very few people, but we received a warm welcome from a Canadian expat who rented beach chairs by the day – bonus! In Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, we spotted an ancient fort atop the city. Shady-looking vendors with touristy minivans jostled to win our business, offering to drive us there for $15 USD each. Running on intuition and the advice of a helpful local, we discovered that we could hoof it in 15 minutes flat – and for free. Weaving through the winding and narrow city streets lined with cafes and fruit markets, we reached the Castillo San Cristóbal as the sun began to slip below the horizon, affording a stunning 360° view of the centuries-old cityscape.
- Let (Them) Entertain You – The in-house entertainment can be as authentic as you'd find on land. The Nieuw Amsterdam B.B. King's All-Star Band is described by the Liner as bringing 'the best of Blues to the sea". The soul that bleeds through the sounds of Big Band Dixieland Jazz is pretty near to the personification of my soul, so to say I had low expectations is beyond an understatement. From the first peel of the trumpet to the driving drum beats accompanying the swinging guitar, I was instantly transported back to Frenchman Street, New Orleans, where a different Jazz Quartet greets you on every street corner and in every bar. We danced many nights away to some of the best music I've ever heard beyond the clubs of Chicago and the streets of NOLA. Stumbling into the group later on the buffet deck, we learned many of them were from Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans, and were going back home in the off-season to play with their respective local bands. Call that another lesson learned.
- Stake your Claim – On a ship jam-packed with 2,000+ passengers in a limited space, we had concerns that there would be no place to call our own. While you can expect certain areas of the ship to be forever busy (the pool, the casino and any place with food on offer), we were pleasantly surprised at how many free, quiet spots we were able to root out. Our favourite areas were the restaurant and cafe at the top deck of the ship (hint: people tend not to explore the furthest reaches of any location), and the Promenade Deck, which offered spectacular views of the horizon, especially at sunrise and sunset. Whenever we wanted a moment alone away from the chaos, we would retreat to the stern of the ship with only the sound of the waves, the sea spray on our faces, and the warm glow of the sun, moon or stars above us. Naturally, it was here that 'the question' was popped, and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect place, on land or by sea, to say yes to my sweetheart (insert obligatory awwwww here)!
- Keep an Open Mind! – As on any trip to any destination, it is perspective that will define your experience – and that responsibility is entirely your own. I often find myself giving heed to the words of the great French Author Rabelais: "I go to seek a Great Perhaps." Your own Great Perhaps could be awaiting you at the next port of call, or from the Crow's Nest with a coffee and a view that goes on for days. Or hell, maybe it's that poolside chair with a margarita and the latest YA novel – after all, it's not a crime to just be for the day, amIright?

Finding Real Estate in the Paradise Called Hawaii.
Imagine living in your own home located in a majestic place where the sun is most beautiful throughout the year. The possibility of doing anything you want in any time of the year is endless and you need not worry about needing to buy yourself new set of clothes for every season as the weather throughout the year is basically the same.
Hawaii is located in an archipelago towards the end of the North Pacific Ocean. Due to its location, Hawaii has been an ideal place for any person who wants to live or stay in the tropics for some time.
You will experience the beauty of the place from the fine sands and the comforting warmth of the sun, to the fresh ocean breeze that will brush your face, Hawaii is definitely an environment any person would truly fall in love with. For this reason, it is without a doubt that Hawaii is truly one of the place where the real estate business is always good.
What Almost No One Knows About Homes
If in case you are highly considering or are heavily interested in looking for a Hawaiian real estate, the best way to do so is to first get as much information as you need about the way of life in that area and see if it fits you or it is a way of life that you can see yourself in. And because the whole state of Hawaii is composed of many islands, there are some islands or even locations in one island where there are different activities that can be done and it can be different from island to island so it is possible that activities in an island may not work for you but activities in another island may be something you will enjoy or like. When you are familiar with the different locales, you can then identify which part of Hawaii you want to get a real estate property where you can stay at.
Questions About Houses You Must Know the Answers To
When it comes to looking for the best and most ideal companies that are involved in Hawaii real estate business, the easiest way to find them nowadays is through browsing the internet, if you do not know anyone who has a property in Hawaii or any person who is residing there. These companies that are involved in Hawaiian real estate business surely can provide a list of the properties that are available in the specific location you like either in their website, their showroom, or through their ads like their pamphlets, or flyers, so looking for a Hawaiian real estate is not as difficult as it may seem for others.

BENIN—The Director- General, Energy Commission of Nigeria, Prof. Abdulsalam Sambo, yesterday attributed the problem of energy production and utilization in the country to the dearth of professionals with broad training in, and understanding of energy production, delivery, consumption and its impact on the environment.
"While Nigeria boasts of high turn out of graduates from universities and polytechnics and colleges of education, there is dearth of professionals with broad training in, and understanding of energy production, consumption, delivery and its impact on the environment.
"For instance, there is no university or polytechnic that runs programmes in energy studies like renewable energy, management,etc. The traditional departments (mechanical, electrical or agricultural engineering) of universities and polytechnics only deal with fundamental principles of sciences and Mathematics in system designs, which may not address the problem of energy production and utilization,†Prof. Sambo said
Sambo made this assertion while speaking at a one-day sensitization and awareness forum on Renewable Energy Initiative and Environment Protection in Edo State, organized by National Centre for Energy and Environment of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, University of Benin.
He disclosed that the National Centre for Energy and Environment would provide a road map for developing the talents, skills, capability and creativity needed in solving the problems of environmental degradation from the exploration and utilization of the nation's fossil fuels.
"In Nigeria where oil companies are less concerned with the negative impacts of oil exploration and production, it is very important that we have institutions focusing on environmental issues'†he said
He said the choice of the University of Benin was in recognition of its competence in the area of environment as well as its strategic location in the Niger Delta, which was very vulnerable to negative impacts of oil and gas activities.
Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Alhassan Bako Zaku, said the creation of the National Centre for Energy and Environment (NCEE) by the federal government, through the Energy Commission of Nigeria, was an appropriate response to sustainability challenges of declining fossil resources, ecosystem degradation, climate change and waste management problems facing Nigeria in the 21st Century.
He described the Forum as the most appropriate and opportuned time for both the private and public sectors to synthesize research findings and present a holistic picture of the environmental challenges of the threatened coastal region of Nigeria to government and all stakeholders.

It can be quite difficult for parents to know how and when they should register their child's name to start school so we will try to answer all of your questions below:
How do I know which school to choose?
The answer is simple just "Go and have a look."
In Nottinghamshire every school has what is knows as a 'catchment area'. This refers to the houses and streets that are closest to the school. In almost all cases your 'catchment school' will be the one closest to where you live. If you are unsure which one it is then you can find out by visiting the following website:
We strongly suggest that you visit your catchment area school before making a decision. The advantages of choosing your catchment school would mean less travel each day, your child will be going to school with the same children in the area and where you live.
Determined admission arrangements 2018-2019
All admission authorities must determine admission arrangements by 28 February every year, even if they have not changed from previous years and a consultation has not been required.
Nottinghamshire County Council's determined admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools on 20 February 2017. Click on link below to see determined admission arrangements.
How do I choose the right school for my child?
Choosing the right school is the most important decision you will have to make so you need to make sure that you get it right, so "Go and have a look". All schools welcome prospective parents as we realise that choosing the right school is one of the most important decision you will have to make so you need to make sure that you are getting it right. There are a few points at which you should consider, we have listed them below:
- Go and see the school and get the feel of it. Think if you would be happy there if you were a child.
- Speak to some of the parents whose children attend the school.
- Read the school's OFSTED report.
- Look at SAT results over a period of time. Beware of SAT results. High scoring schools does not necessarily mean 'better' school. They may just have more able children attending. Even 'progress scores' on league tables can be misleading as they only show progress through a junior department, not through the whole school. Schools that achieve high results at the end of the infants find it impossible to show excellent progress on league tables because of the was the data is calculated.
When should I apply for a place for my child?
You can register an interest in a school at any time after you child is born. If making an application for full time education you should apply around November/December of the year before your child turns 5.
If you have decided on a school then contact the Nottinghamshire Local Authority on Mansfield 01623 433433 and ask for Primary Admissions to register your child.
When does my child qualify for a Nursery Place?*
If your child is born between:
1 April and 31 August
They are eligible for a free place from:
the beginning of the Autumn school term following their 3rd birthday.
If your child is born between:
1 September and 31 December
They are eligible for a free place from:
The beginning of the Spring school term following their 3rd birthday
If your child is born between:
1 January and 31 March
They are eligible for a free place from:
The beginning of the Summer school term following their 3rd birthday.
*please be aware that being eligible does not guarantee a place.
Who has the final say on which school my child will go to?
Whilst parents have a choice in which school they want to apply to, the final decision is made by Nottinghamshire Local Authority. most children do get into their first choice of school but some schools are very popular and they may receive more applications than they have places available. In this situation the local authority will give priority according to the following criteria:
- Children who have a particular special need that can only be catered for by specialist staff/equipment at that school.
- Children who have a brother or sister attending the school who live in the catchment area/outside the catchment area.
- Children who do live in the school's catchment area.
When do I find out which school my child will be attending?
The Local Authority will write to you with an offer of a place in the March before the academic year in which your child is due to start school (ie. before they are 5).
If you do have any questions then call Primary Admissions on Mansfield 01623 433433 or contact Jo here at school on 01623 408785 and she will do her best to answer your questions.
It is important that parents applying for a school place for their child have access to all relevant information.
Please see below a promotional poster informing parents about free information sessions that will cover key aspects of the admission process. Also included a poster informing parents about when to apply for a school place for September 2017.
A number of parents apply late which can disadvantage their application.

i am tired. my baby is tired too, but she won't sleep. or should i say, she will sleep but only after 45 minutes of me trying to put her into her crib many many times. and oh! the screaming. you'd think that i was committing the most incredible injustice against her. i actually let her cry for 10 minutes, then 5, 5 and 5 min last night before she finally gave in and crashed. trouble is, i am not sure i can follow up on that as i should it was very hard, and i do so love to snuggle her.... she is sweet and spirited, this young'un.
on a crafting note, i've managed to put together one side of a tea cosy i am making for my friend T. of course, as is my practice lately, i am winging it. so far so good, but this batting i've been using is super thick when not quilted. and i wasn't planning on doing any quilting on the large blocks of fabric... so we'll have to see how it turns out. i did make a prototype that i gave to my mom in law, but i used some bat left over from a baby quilt and deemed it too thin. i do love the fabrics, though, and unlike most i've been slow to actually buy any amy bulter fabric. a bit of a frugal time it is around this household, so i am cherishing it and using it very carefully. here is a glimpse of the project in progress.
and on another note... backtack is coming again and i am seriously considering joining up if i can. i feel kind of like an intruder, though and somewhat unworthy. these people are seriously talented artists and incredibly interesting blog authors. me? i am hardly in the same league. but i desperately want to take jump into the fun.

MARC-43: Airway microbiome and age 6-year asthma phenotypes in a healthy infant cohort
Principal Investigator:
External Co-investigators:
Funding Source: National Institutes of Health (UG3 OD023253)
Purpose: (1) To investigate the relation of the airway microbiome to risk of childhood asthma among healthy infants; (2) To investigate the relation of longitudinal patterns of the airway microbiome (e.g., infancy, age 3 years, and age 6 years) to the risk of childhood asthma in a severe bronchiolitis cohort (MARC-35) and healthy cohort (MARC-43) combined.
Rationale: Childhood asthma remains at historically high levels, affecting ~7 million (9%) U.S. children. The disease is thought to result from a complex interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental exposures, including viral respiratory infections, such as bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization in US infants, and small cohort studies indicate that 40-50% of infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis (severe bronchiolitis) will develop asthma. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This major knowledge gap has hindered efforts to prevent asthma in this high-risk population. Progression from bronchiolitis to asthma is multi-factorial. Emerging evidence shows that the human microbiome contributes to airway immune response and asthma pathogenesis. To date, most microbiome research has focused on the gut; much less is known about the role of airway microbiome in asthma.
Procedure: This study will enroll healthy children age <1 year at hospital-affiliated outpatient practices. The study is coordinated by the EMNet Coordinating Center (Boston, MA). The study will be known to participants as the Childhood Microbiome study (or the CHIME study). MARC-43 is poised to serve as the healthy controls of MARC-35 and therefore undergoes data and specimen collection as well as follow-up similar to MARC-35. MARC-43 participants will have in-person visits at approximate ages of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-years in addition to telephone follow-up calls every 6 months. Study staff will collect nasal swabs, saliva swabs, fecal samples, and blood at various time points. Relevant medical records will be acquired by site researchers and EMNet staff from enrollment through age 6 years.

As promised, I'm back once again for my better blogging bonanza! (say THAT five times fast)
I'm currently watching all these people unpacking their cars and moving back into the dorms. It's really weird to watch actually, mainly because I never would've expected that I wouldn't be one of them this year. As much as a pain in the ass this week was, it was definitely worth it. My room in Switlik is everything I could want it to be! Want proof? Look no further =D
The pictures are in the wrong order, whatevs. This is my closet... fairly organized and I have my handsome friend Erik to guard all my stuff for me like he's done for the past two years. Hahahaha.
MICROWAVEEEEEEE!! I probably shouldn't be that excited about it but the more I think about it, the possibilities are endless! I already made a bitchin' bowl of oats! Alas though, we can't forget about the fridge, the Brita and Mr. Coffee; they're all very important to the room dynamics as well.
My desk...already covered in stuff. I haven't even started classes yet. Ahem, if you look in the bottom right hand corner you'll spot my new Nikes in their adorable glory.
Hi bed hiiiiiii! I like being by the window, I can creep on everyone who walks by! Er, um, I mean... I can watch the beautiful sky and, uh, trees. Heh.
No, in all seriousness I'm really digging the setup this year. I can't explain it but I just feel so at home... it's kind of like things are slowly falling back into their proper places. That's my optimistic self putting her two sense in.
Random side note, I finally broke out a container of plain chobani. Now, I've never been much of a "plain yogurt" type of person under any circumstances. When I eat yogurt, I like some sort of underlying flavor; vanilla, strawberry, anything! But, like many other things in my life, I have the women of the blogworld to thank for losing my plain yogurt virginity. HAHA. When I made my bitchin' bowl of oats (mentioned earlier) I threw about half the container of plain chobani in it along with half a cut up peach, some Kashi GoLean and almond butter. Verdict?
I loved it! Duhhh, as if there was ever any reason to doubt the blogworld in the first place? I could taste the yogurt itself but it added a really nice creaminess to the oats. I mean, these ladies throw plain greek yogurt all over everything and I was scared to put it in my oatmeal! I'm glad I did though. Now that I know how awesome of an addition it is I think I could work my way up to using it as a replacement for sour cream and many other things in general. The blogworld has saved my life again! They're like a bunch of superheroes.......
You know, just in case anyone was wondering what one of my goals for the year will be.
Oh, the bathroom crisis. It's not really that big of a deal but it SUCKED none-the-less. Yesterday, I got up nice and early, ran an easy two miles on the treadmill (with NO PAIN!!!) did some more leg strengthening and was all set to take a nice shower when I got back to Switlik. So I go to put the code in and... it doesn't work? Hmm, maybe I didn't do it right. Try again. Still doesn't work. OK, I'll come back. Came back 5 minutes later, tried 10 more times... still didn't work. Basically, repeat that process 3 more times. Needless to say, I WAS NOT HAPPY. I had to go to PHOCUS in a short time so I didn't have time to run all over the building looking for an RA. Thank God for Wet Wipes. Yes, like a true, true college student I used Wet Wipes instead of a taking a shower.
Gross, I'm aware. Luckily one of my fellow PHOCUS members is an RA in Switlik so I got him to find out the new code for me. And it wasn't until later that night did MY RA decide to come by and be like, "Oh, the codes changed be-tee-dubs." THANKS. Either way, I know the code now, I helped out some girls that didn't know the code and life is content.
I'm heading out now to do some STUFF shopping with Kat and Laura. Hopefully I'll get some fun stuffs!

After Mortimer died Cassandra threw up a wish to 'get fit', She was getting fat she thought.
Oh wait, she wasn't fat she was pregnant!
Ever the attentive brother Alexander gave her a makeover and finally encouraged her to ditch the old hairstyle.
Her husband Nicholas still hasn't thrown up any kind of useful wish and always wants to see shooting stars, which makes me nervous.
He wants to skill lots, serve food and make friends but doesn't appear bothered about getting a job.
Mortimer is gone but not forgotten and is unimpressed with others using his bed!
Cassandra and Nicholas welcome a daughter, Samantha into the Goth house.
Cassandra brushes up on her Charisma by talking with Hannibal.
Meanwhile Alexander is talking to real people and seems quite taken with Angela Pleasant. I don't think they ever spoke before she walked past the house tonight.
He also got a Bronze makeover badge when giving Herb Oldie a new look. Digging the flat cap look Herb. :)
and in true getting-ready-for-college style, he's learning to cook and working on scholarships.
Sadly Hannibal dropped dead. Well, not that sad. The bird squawked like heck all day long and caused horrible routing issues. I think as soon as his food was empty that was it. He wasn't that old and I've had birds live longer. Hey ho. :D
Alexander got another scholarship and decided to head on out to college.
Samantha had her toddler birthday and started learning her skills.
Ah, ok. So this is why Alexander never gets the 'Orphaned Sims Assisted Fund'. That's just weird. (I've seen it once before but had long forgotten it).
Wishes; Cassandra wants still to skill. She had daily wishes to entertain, appreciate, make friends. Once Samantha was born after the initial 'buy cot and changing table' she wanted to teach her walk, talk etc.
Nicholas had wishes to see shooting stars, skill, serve food and make friends.
Alexander's daily wishes were almost like clockwork- earn money, go to work, get skill, dance (yes that was random!), talk.
Samantha is nice and easy at the moment, she likes to skill, have nursery rhymes sung to her, be tickled, snuggled etc.
Sims have Wishes and lots of them. The aim here is to try and fulfil 5 of them a day. It's harder than it sounds! Thanks to ASimWen for the idea.

|hey CPB,
You heard me! Stay away. It really is not exciting to work eighty hours a week doing really boring and tedious work just because you can drop the names of a couple big brands. I do not think it is exciting to donate endless hours of cheap labor to aimless branding campaigns and I will not display a cult-like devotion to your company, especially since your company only can seem to produce unimaginative and pointless garbage that shows no sign of complex reasoning. Then again, maybe that is why you are so successful with mainstream America. Either which way, you still owe me $30 for my taxi ride from Miami airport. Yes, I interviewed with you once and I can honestly say it was the most pointless experience of my life. From the onset I had no clue as to why your company was interested in me. I did my best to make this abundantly clear. However, CPB still insisted on giving me a free trip to Miami and after all, who can pass up a free trip? So, I traveled down to Miami and after about five minutes of talking with Rupert about RES magazine, the fact that I was still not a broadcast designer (even in person) and that I wanted a job where I could have creative input, I was left on my own in the lobby where I could overhear him talking about how I looked far more thrilling in writing. I don't know what writing he was reading, but it probably wasn't any of the emails in which I explained to him that I did not produce videos or websites. Any which way, I was hoping that after his initial disappointment with me he would let me go and make the best of my day in Miami. No, instead I had to talk for hours to every other person in the production department, all of which wanted to ask me the same exact questions. If I knew that the free trip entailed such aimless cross-examining, I would have stayed home. Even my interview with the CIA was conducted in a far more lax environment than that. After some time I guess my frustration with your aimless interrogation tactics shone through because it seemed that I managed to offend a number of my interviewers with sarcastic answers and utter indifference. Then again, maybe it was my sarcasm and utter indifference that kept me from ever hearing back from your company. Maybe you could tell from my snide behavior that I would not be loyal and amiable at all costs. Then again, maybe Rupert just didn't want to deal with me any further and sent me away into the drudgery of the company to waste my time. Regardless, you still owe me $30. And I still stand firm on the fact that you should stay in Boulder with all the pseudo-bohemians. We don't want you recruiting here in San Francisco.
