The mission of the Church is to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to all people and to minister to all people in his name. In our time and culture, special challenges are faced by those Church members who carry out this mission among persons who experience same-sex attraction. There are many forces in our society that promote a view of sexuality in general, and of homosexuality in particular, not in accord with God's purpose and plan for human sexuality.
To offer guidance in the face of pervasive confusion, the Catholic bishops of the United States find it timely to provide basic guidelines for pastoral ministry to persons with a homosexual inclination or tendency. These guidelines are intended to assist bishops in evaluating existing or proposed programs and ministerial efforts and to provide direction and guidance for those engaged in this ministry.

Gatsby in Paris: French Chansons & Jazz Standards From the '20s to the '40s, featuring enchanting French singer Chloé Perrier and her new band, the French Heart Jazz Band. This irrepressibly charming show is a mix of French chansons and American jazz standards from the '20s to the '40s with a continental flare. Chloé sings an intriguing mix of jazz, chanson, Brazilian and occasionally Romany-tinged numbers in French, as well as in English. The group is known for its reinvention of the old chestnut "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" as a bolero-tinged Twin Peaks theme, an obscure '20s hot jazz tune that Perrier had found in a history book, and the classic "La Vie en Rose." Come to Club Bonafide in New York City and listen as exes get dissed and relationships gone wrong are dissected and remembered through glasses that aren't exactly rose-colored.

Hi everyone. Does anybody have any cast bullet loads for a 3030 winchester. I would like to plink & hunt small game with my
rifle, but factory loads are much to big . velocities aruond 1500 to 1800 fps is what I'm looking for.
Thank You.
Hi everyone. Does anybody have any cast bullet loads for a 3030 winchester. I would like to plink & hunt small game with my
rifle, but factory loads are much to big . velocities aruond 1500 to 1800 fps is what I'm looking for.
Thank You.
I can't seem to find mine right now, but the Lyman Cast Bullet reloading manual would have the information you want.
> velocities aruond 1500 to 1800 fps is what I'm looking for.
OK, here's some from Hodgdon Powder Data Manual Twenty - Fifth Edition. These are for jacketed bullets, but should work ok in cast of similar weight if that's your intent. (I wouldn't assume the same in reverse since jacketed bullets will cause more pressure than cast) As always follow standard reloading practices of working up a load for a given gun without assuming anything.
100 grain bullet H4227 min 15.0 grains 1908 fps 22,400 cup max 18.0 2077 fps 26,300 cup
100 grain bullet IMR4227 min 15.0 grains 1834 fps 23,400 cup max 18.0 grains 2071 fps 26,300 cup
125-130 grain bullet H4227 min 20.0 grains 1939 fps 34,200 cup max 22.0 grains 2167 fps 38,200 cup
125-130 grain bullet IMR4227 min 20.0 grains 1918 fps 31,000 cup max 22.0 grains 2143 fps 37,600 cup
150 grain bullet H4227 min 17.0 grains 1695 fps 29,300 cup max 19.0 grains 1881 fps 38,700 cup
150 grain bullet IMR4227 min 17.0 grains 1683 fps 30,100 cup max 19.0 grains 1874 fps 38,900 cup
170 grain bullet H4227 min 15.0 grains 1437 fps 28,500 cup max 17.0 grains 1655 fps 33,000 cup
170 grain bullet IMR 4227 min 15.0 grains 1440 fps 29,000 cup max 17.0 grains 1647 fps 32,400 cup
Runs in my mind the a starting load of 6gr Hi-Skor 7000x is about right too, but don't quote me on that. I am goning to try the Unique load.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
I found my Lyman manual.
My favorite reduced loads are with heavy bullets at sub sonic speeds. They are fun to plink with because the noise factor is dramatically reduced by eliminating the sonic boom but there is still some impact because of the heavy bullets.
On the subject of reduced loads, you may want to read up on detonation in P.O. Ackly's Handbook for Shooters and Reloaders. Reduced loads of slow powders have been known to detonate. I have seen even "normal" (according to the reloading manual) loads of slow powders detonate. Detonation is quite sobering and destrutive to the gun and possibly the shooter or bystanders.
For these reasons, I use only fast powders in reduced loads and I use filler. I use 1 grain or so of polyester fiberfill (like you buy at a fabric store for quilt batting or pillow stuffing) to hold the powder in the bottom of the case and magnum primers (to insure good ignition). Most of the theories on detonation involve what starts out as a squib load which then develops explosive gasses then detonates rather than burning at a high rate.
With that said, my favorite light loads for a 30-30 would involve the heavier bullets and the faster powders reducing them 1/10 of a grain until the "boom" dissapears (or a chrono says they are around 900 fps).
I'm fond of Red Dot, Unique, Bullseye and HP38 for fast powders for reduced rifle loads. I'm sure others work fine too, but I've had good luck with these.
The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook Third Edition lists 173 gr #311407 bullet from #2 alloy with 7 grains of Unique going 1203 fps. It lists 170 gr #31141 bullet with 6.5 grains of Red Dot going 1159. 7.0 grains of Unique going 1240. If you start with the 6.5 grains of Red Dot and 1 grain of fiberfill to hold the charge in the bottom of the case and back up 1/10 grain at a time you should be able to get to a subsonic load.
Of course there is always the possiblilty of a squib fire. In other words the powder doesn't adequately ignite and the bullet gets lodged in the barrel. Always make sure the barrel is clear when working up a reduced load.
And there is the issue of detonation to be taken into account when doing reduced loads.

How To: Getting Your Kids and Spouse to Mountain Bike
You are an avid mountain biker and it's more of a lifestyle to you than a mere hobby. So the dream is to ride with your spouse and/or kids. You want to share your love for the sport and you want them to benefit from all that mountain biking has to offer.
But it is easier said than done, right? Mountain biking involves hills aka 'suffering' and rocks aka 'scary stuff.' It is not easy but it is worthwhile. What is the best way to expose them and motivate them to the sport that you love most? How do you get the fire started in them so they actually fall in love with mountain biking and start looking to ride themselves?
Here's a few pointers. Feel free to agree, disagree and add your own.
Start Early and Often – Expose them to the glory of a cycling lifestyle early and often. Get them a balance bike and get them on two wheels early. Go on short family rides around the neighborhood often. Watch fun cycling videos and races. Take them to events. Start when they're around 5 years old, not when they're teenagers. Use a trailer bike (third wheel connected to your bike) to get them out in the good hills early.
Peer Pressure - Nothing works like positive peer pressure. If there's a bunch of moms or women going for a group ride, your wife will probably want to join them, specially if they're her friends. Your kids will want to climb up a big hill if all their cool friends are doing it. Get their friends out riding and your family will go out riding with them. Hang around other families who have kids that ride bikes.
Avoid Training Wheels - Training wheels are basically crutches that ruin a kids ability to balance a bike. Balancing a bike involves momentum and steering into the direction the bike is falling. Training wheels make a bike behave opposite of this as it will kick back at you if you try to balance a bike correctly. Also, when a kid is falling, they need to stick their foot out to catch themselves. Again, training wheels completely ruin this instinct. As a result, when kids remove the training wheels for the first time, they really have no idea how to balance the bike. They fall and get demoralized. The only skill they've learned to do is how to pedal a bike. They're better off learning to pedal on a tricycle. Then they can learn to balance using a balance bike or two-wheeled scooter. This should only take a few weeks and they can then move on to a real bike.
Ride the road – Even though mountain biking is the ultimate goal, the road is the perfect place to train. It gets the muscles toned and it gets the rider comfortable with the bike. Ride the road dozens of times. Make it regular, fun and most of all, normal. Every hour they spend pedaling is like money in the bank. Make it count by teaching them how to drop curbs with ease. Mock up some races by sprinting to certain landmarks. Ride to the all the short errands and avoid the car. Make bike riding as natural as walking. Your spouse will most likely get hooked on road riding before they do with mountain biking because there is less 'risk taker' element to it.
Find the right bike -Give your family bikes that fit and make sure they are tuned perfectly. Make sure their saddles are soft and comfy. A little kid doesn't need 35 psi. They need more like 15 psi. And make sure they can reach the brakes easily with their tiny hands. Optimize for control rather than speed. Do not force them into a big bike that they will grow in to 2 years from now. Do not use training wheels on the trail. Make sure everyone is on flat pedals.
Train them how to ride a bike. - That probably means you need training on how to properly ride a bike. Most adult mountain bikers have never had training on how to ride a bike and it's a shame. Kids do not know how to use shifters and they usually ride in too heavy a gear or shift the opposite way when needed. Teach them to use both brakes all the time. Teach them how to keep the pedals level and absorb shock with their knees and elbows when dropping curbs.
Find the perfect trail – Do not find the best trail for you. Find the safest, easiest, funnest trail for them. Study the course and the route and make sure the course is dialed. Know every turn and every rock. Delete the words 'epic' and 'adventure' on the first rides with your family. Everything has to be perfect and make sure you have an alternate plan when it all goes wrong. Teach them adversity and suffering later, when they are hooked on the sport.
Behave like this is the funnest, most incredible thing in your life. - Their attitude will be a reflection of yours so show excitement and enthusiasm on every part of the journey. Do not get mad or frustrated no matter what happens. When something goes wrong, do not panic. Roll with the punches and they will learn to do the same. Overprepare for the ride but act like it's a spur of the moment event during the ride.
Set up a reward or a goal. – Take them to ice cream or pancakes if they make it up a hill. Buy them a new bell, kickstand, stickers if they achieve something new. Get them something for their bike so they will love it and personalize it.
Make it an adventure – Take a ton of pictures and make an album or a video and relive the adventure with them. Marvel at all the animals and creatures you see. Make a game of who can spot the biggest animal or biggest tree.

You know when a brand isn't new but hasn't quite been on your radar, and then one day you realize it is the brand you're totally into it? That's been happening to me with MCM recently, and it's only gotten stronger. It's not that I didn't know about or like many MCM bags previously, but I really did a double take when I found the MCM Milla Tote (by the way, PurseBlog readers say it's amazing, so if you want one, definitely get it). And before that, I came to really love the MCM logo bags as well. Part of it may be because MCM's monogram is different from many of the other logos I see, or maybe it's because I've felt such a strong pull toward Germany since I met and married Vlad (he grew up there)--either way, that it's a company founded in Munich makes me like it that much more.
This year, MCM decided to launch a bag right before festival season hit that they believed would turn into one of the brand's most sought-after styles. The MCM Rockstar Vanity Case made its debut at Coachella and is inspired by Rihanna's vintage MCM Vanity Case, which she was spotted carrying frequently earlier this year. Since it's launch, the new Rockstar Vanity Case has been spotted with celebs like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin, to name a few.
The silhouette, while modernized, embodies a timeless MCM style from the archives, which is quite different from many of the bag shapes we see on store shelves today. It's big enough to hold necessities, and the bag also sports an interior hidden pocket and ample space to fit your everyday needed items.
Available in MCM's iconic Visetos coasted canvas in both Cognac and Black, the bag can be worn multiple ways with its removable crossbody strap. One thing I didn't expect was 24 karat gold plated hardware, but this bag has it, and the price is really good. Also, don't get me started on the charms--OBSESSED. Buy for $495 via MCM.

WISN 12 Sports talks to Brewers slugger Ryan Braun about recent allegations
Milwaukee Brewers star slugger Ryan Braun sat down with WISN 12 Sports Director Dan Needles for the first time since new allegations surfaced connecting Braun to performance-enhancing drugs.
Right before the start of spring training, a report linked Braun to Biogenesis, a now-defunct Miami-area clinic that allegedly provided performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of players.
Braun immediately issued a statement explaining that one of his lawyers had paid the founder of that clinic for expertise in his appeal of a 50-game suspension last year, which he eventually won.
After he reported to spring training, he has referred all questions about that report to his statement.
"You made a statement, you said that's it, that's all you had to say, and you haven't talked about it since then. Has anything changed? Is that still your answer right now?" Needles asked.
"Still my answer, yeah. I think I've kind of already addressed it. It's in the past for me, and I have nothing else to say about it at this point," Braun said.
"There is a perception from some people that Major League Baseball is out to get you. Do you feel that way, or no?" Needles asked.
"I could give you my honest answer, but I'd probably get in trouble for it, so we'll leave it at that," Braun said.
Late last month, Major League Baseball filed a lawsuit against the now-closed Biogenesis clinic and its operator, Anthony Bosch, accusing them of providing performance-enhancing drugs to players in violation of their contracts.
At least 90 players were named in Biogenesis documents, and MLB continues its investigation.

Profiles in Diversity Journal Names Lorraine Martin '84 a 'Woman Worth Watching'
October 21, 2013
Lorraine M. Martin, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin Corporation's F-35 Lightning II program and 1984 graduate of DePauw University, is among the 2014 "Women Worth Watching" featured in Profiles in Diversity Journal.
Martin and the other honorees were "nominated by their peers at their organizations," according to James R. Rector, publisher of the journal. "All the women prepared a personal essay acknowledging who and what contributed to their success and their universal attitude of helping other women in the pipeline. Leadership by example and teamwork are two of the characteristics that set apart these committed executives."
"I began my career as an officer in the U.S. Air Force during a time when females were uncommon in the military, especially as senior leaders," Martin tells the publication. "There were instances when some would place limits on my potential, but I learned quickly to be confident in myself and my abilities -- to take it on, not take it personally."
She adds, "A few leadership techniques that have served me well throughout my career include: being consistent, flexible, a strong partner, and always assuming goodwill of those around you. Every leader's style is different, but being consistent allows team members to know what to expect and how to interact with you. Strive to understand others' leadership styles. A successful leader can modulate their style in any situation, while remaining authentic and effective. It's also important to be flexible when defining your career. I have an education in software engineering, so I thought that was the field I would work in. Yet, here I am leading the largest aircraft program in aviation history. This is mainly due to leaders who challenged me and shared a piece of advice that sticks with me to this day: Every job should make you feel like you're not sure how you're going to do it. Otherwise, you're not growing."
Access the publication online by clicking here.
A mathematics major at DePauw, Lorraine (Dunn) Martin also holds a master's degree in computer science from Boston University. She began working for Lockheed Martin in 1988, after serving five years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force.

Favre's attorneys say he shouldn't respond to embarrassing claims
Brett Favre's lawyers say he shouldn't have to respond to some embarrassing claims about his personal life that two massage therapists are making in a New York lawsuit.
Among other things, the massage therapists want the former NFL quarterback to admit or deny he solicited women for sex trysts and sent explicit photos to a former Jets game hostess.
Favre's attorneys filed papers this week asking a court to say he doesn't have to respond. They saud some of the assertions are irrelevant and meant "only to harass and embarrass" him.
The massage therapists' lawyer calls the filing a bid to keep Favre from having to answer questions about his conduct.
The suit said the Jets blacklisted the massage therapists after they objected to suggestive messages Favre sent another woman.

R&B has killed more black men than Hip Hop
I think that Hip Hop is a victim of the "Youngest Child Syndrome" as well, inappropriately blamed for everything from increased crime rates, natural disasters, and the reason why this season of "Lost" sucks complete ass. No, its too difficult to look at our shabby educational system where the teachers are underpaid and our kids are graduating High School being functional illiterates - its much easier to point the blame at a few shucking and jiving ass platinum teeth having rappers, who butcher the English language and wouldn't know good poetry if a resurrected Langston Hughes mercilessly butt-fucked them in the middle of library that only carried books filled with iambic pentameter. No, it's too difficult to look at the centuries that our black women have been degraded historically, throughout the existence of television and film, and have been treated as sexual objects from music genre's ranging from blues to polka(OK, maybe not polka) - its much easier to point the blame at Hip Hop, men with the I.Q's of a busy bowel movements calling women "bitches" and "hoes" simply because they are fully aware of one haunting reality - that any vagina owner with an ounce of sense wouldn't come within a square mile of their cock if they didn't have a cliched video playing on MTV and a popular sub-par single on the radio airwaves.
Remember the good old days when some bottom feeder would murder a cop somewhere, or decapitate an arch rival and talk to the head for weeks on end as if he was Tom Hanks in "Castaway" and shit - whenever these ass-hats found themselves in front of a judge, their incompetent public defender would brilliantly blame their behavior on some random Hip Hop album that they had recently purchased? At least there was some comedic value in that nonsense, but nowadays its not so funny - it seems that every kid that gets sucker punched, jumped, or riddled with bullets until they resemble negro Swiss cheese, is blamed on the art-form that was birthed in the Bronx. The students and teachers who lost their lives at Virginia Tech at the hands of that fucking bad writing psycho is a truly sad story, and my prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the victims - but the only thing I could think of, before the identify of the shooter was released that is, was "Please, for Christs sake, don't be a brother!!" It wasn't only because I didn't want to see "one of my own" be responsible for such carnage, it also had to do with me not wanting to be subjected to another silly Oprah-esque town-hall forum, one in which clowns like Stanley Crouch blame two turntables and a microphone for 30 dead bodies.
My thing is, if you want to blame a musical genre for random acts of violence where the end result ranges from swollen eye sockets to autopsy's - you don't have to look any further than Rhythm and Blues. Granted, I feel that most people in this world are blistering idiots - but a part of me feels that the average Hip Hop listener knows that the violent tales oozing out of the mandibles of their favorite rappers is utter horseshit. Gun battles from the likes of Jim Jones is nothing short of laughable based him being soft as a wet pamper, I love M.O.P but I'm certain that the only way that they've ever caught a body was if they happened to be a male cheerleader back in high school - anyone with the ability to breath on their own and finish complete sentences pretty much knows this.
But when it comes to R&B, tales of men attempting to romance women that they know are in committed relationships - that's the type of shit that have sent men the world over to their early demise. Imagine all the premature eternal dirt-naps grown men have taken based on the advice of some jackass R&B singer, taking his words to heart as he spits game to a women while she is with her loving husband - a move possibly leaving the impressionable young man on the business end of a beating, where the married man does that Bruce Lee-style finishing move where he grinds his foot on his defeated opponent. In R Kelly's song "Flirt" he says, "And when shes wit her man lookin at me damn right Ima flirt/ So homie don't bring your girl to me to meet cause Ima flirt" I wish that motherfucker would flirt with my girl with me in attendance, I'd beat him so bad lookers-on would think that he was a negro pinata - anxiously waiting to see if objects like Barbie Dolls and "My first Oven" come flying out of his pedophile ass. Tales of an ex-boyfriend rekindling his long lost love sounds nice on your IPOD, but in real life that long lost love currently has a boyfriend - romantic intentions being met with a barrage of body blows, and the current boyfriend sporadically changing gears from "Drive" to "Reverse" while flattening that motherfucker like a pancake with his automobile. Hip Hop won't get you killed, R&B will.
Come to think about it, some Hip Hop will get your ass killed as well - I just remembered that Positive K "I Got a Man" bullshit.

Point well taken. Tryna flirt with a woman while her man is present is definitely dangerous. My grandfather said there are two things that dont live long: dogs that chase moving cars and men that case taken woman. Maybe R&B should ocme with advisory stickers.

Lol... it's sad that guys really do try this shit. I've heard "What your man got to do with me?" and "I can love you better" used way too many times.
- a black girl who did date said...
I agree that R&B will get you killed. Beyonce and "Irreplacable" is gonna get a lotta young girls beat the hell down. Mike Britt said it best "You must not know about me, I'm about to catch a case in a minute."
- Udi said...
LMAO. This post reminded me of the song where the whole chorus is some girl saying "I gotta man"
- plez... said...
WOW! You are good! I enjoyed the post. I rarely read the long ones, but your prose is on point.
Back in the early 80's, I had a friend who was shot over a woman... listening to Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones" will definitely get a brother shot!
- Beana said...
You have to admit, thatn this season of "Lost" has gotten better, yes?
- Rose said...
you make a good argument. But I love great lyrics but people shouldn't take any of that stuff to heart. Just have fun singing, not humiliating folks...
- Stephanie said...
I love that you take a different route. I don't have a "favorite artist" or even a "favorite color". But R&B is definitely my preferred genre of music since I was a youngin. At times the passion and soul is just what I need. But I'm a woman who knows what's real and sometimes I just can't take it.

From NBC's Shawna Thomas and Carrie Dann
As Congress continues its debate over how America's tax dollars should be best used, lawmakers are arguing over a chunk of a half-million dollars intended to defend a law that about half of taxpayers don't think is worth defending: the federal statute that deems same-sex marriage unconstitutional in the eyes of the U.S. government.
According to a contract provided by Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's office, the House Administration Committee and the General Counsel entered into an agreement on April 14th with former Solicitor General Paul Clement to act as the House's lawyer in cases involving the Defense of Marriage Act.
The price tag on the contract: About $520/hour with a cap of $500,000 on legal charges.
In February, the White House delivered a surprising victory to gay rights activists when President Barack Obama directed the Department of Justice to abandon its defense of the act because, the administration argued, a part of the law violates the constitution.
But House Speaker John Boehner, calling that decision "regrettable" and politically divisive, argued in March that "the constitutionality of this law should be determined by courts – not by the President unilaterally." He announced then that the House would take up the legal responsibilities of defending the law in the absence of DOJ legal staff.
He'd also like DOJ to pick up the tab.
"Obviously, DOJ's decision results in DOJ no longer needing the funds it would have otherwise expended defending the constitutionality of DOMA," Boehner wrote in a letter to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asking her to join in his efforts to request the funds from the agency. "It is my intent that those funds be diverted to the House for reimbursement of any costs incurred by and associated with the House, and not DOJ, defending DOMA."
Pelosi responded by requesting the details of the cost of outside counsel, resulting in the publication of the $500,000 figure released today.
Attorney General Eric Holder has previously argued that the administration's decision to stop defending DOMA does not mean that a pot of saved money is now available in DOJ's coffers.
"I'm not sure we save any money, frankly," Holder said at a hearing in March. "The people who would be defending the statute, were we to do that, are career employees of the Department of Justice, who will not be spending their time doing that; they will be spending their time doing other things. I'm not sure that I see any savings as a result of the decision that I announced with the president."
The law itself, which was enacted in 1996, appears to be losing popularity. According to a new CNN Poll, 51% of Americans believe same-sex marriages should be "recognized by the law as valid." That's a 7% jump since this question was asked in April of 2009.
Yesterday, Clement and his team filed a "Motion to Intervene" in their first case, Windsor v. United States, on behalf of the House.
In that case, the widow of a same-sex partner is suing to retrieve estate taxes she owed when the federal government did not recognize her marriage.
Edith Windsor and her now-deceased partner, Thea Spyer were legally married in Canada in 2007. That marriage was recognized by their home state of New York.
But when Spyer died, because her marriage was not recognized under DOMA, Windsor owed taxes on the estate totaling $363,053 – taxes that would not have been levied had the couple been married in the eyes of the federal government.
Windsor's case challenges the constitutionality of DOMA and simply put, asks the government to give her the money back.
According to court documents, the team led by Clement is scheduled to make its first appearance before a judge on May 9th 2011.

Local students witness papal history
Students studying abroad in Italy
A group of local college students are more than halfway through a semester-long study abroad program in Rome. They had no idea they would witnesses history in the Catholic Church.
"The day (Pope Benedict) announced his resignation, there were a ton of nuns and religious people who went and prayed, people were crying everywhere. So it was intense," said Kelly Taylor, a Marquette University student.
Taylor is part of a study abroad program and traveled to Italy before Benedict's resignation.
Since then she has traveled to St. Peter's Square for Benedict's final appearances as pope.
"On the 27th he held his last papal audience and there were thousands and thousands of people. St. Peter's Square was just packed. I couldn't even sit down," said Taylor. "That following Sunday he held his last Angelus blessing and the crowd there was even bigger. It was amazing."
Kyle Dooley, who is also studying abroad, said locals have told him and his friends that this is time they've never seen. He recalled a friend's trip to a barbershop in Rome.
"He went to the barbershop right down the street, he said he was talking to the barber and he said he'd been there 50 years and he'd never seen anything like this," said Dooley.
Dooley and Taylor said they hope to work around their class schedules to see the white smoke signalling the selection of a new pope.
"I'm only about 15-minute walk, so I could probably run there in 10 minutes. If I wanted to," said Dooley. "So I should be able to get there in time."

Here's Matt Damon, ever gracious, at LAX yesterday and then arriving home in Boston later with his family. Damon's permanent residence for a while was in Miami, then New York. Did we know though that he's moving to LA? Am told that he and wife Luciana (Lucy) have bought a home very close to the Afflecks, like just a few doors down, and that after the kids do another year of school in NY they'll be relocating for good to LA. None of my goddamn business, obviously, but why not stay in New York? I like not knowing what his daughters look like. When they get to Los Angeles, I wonder if we'll be as familiar with their faces as we are with Violet's and Seraphina's. Then again, half of that, if not more, is because they want it, the ones whose children are so... present.

Experimental archaeology is used to help us understand the cost of an activity. Understanding how much time or raw material is necessary to build a granary, basket or ceramic pot can help us understand why ancient people made the choices they did.
In an archaeology seminar in Spring 2006, several graduate students proposed a study of prehistoric technology based on ideas from foraging theory, behavioral ecology, and the Tech Investment Model (Bright et al. 2002). This study involved experimental archaeology that tests the costs and benefits of varying levels of investment in several technologies: granaries, nets, snares, and digging technology. Several of these experiments have commenced in Range Creek with the help of field school students. Since recent archaeological work in the canyon began in the summer of 2002, some of the most striking features have been the variety of storage structures and rock art left behind by the native inhabitants. No location appears to have been out of the question for the construction of granaries out of stone, mud, and wood and the rock art of the canyon features numerous images painted in tones of red and yellow. Beyond their construction and aesthetic qualities, we began to ask questions about the amount of time and effort required to construct or create such impressive works. While it is easy to discuss such topics around camp at the end of the day it is quite another to actually recreate the process. Near the end of the 2006 field season, this is exactly what happened.
Building & Using a Granary
Next, building material had to be collected. Using the ranch truck, hundreds of pounds of rock and dirt loaded into the bed and dropped off at the building site. When construction began, the area under the boulder was cleared and leveled, then a layer of juniper bark, followed by a layer of rock and then mud were laid down to form the foundation. The granary was constructed on top of this and allowed to dry. After it was dried, cracks that had appeared were patched, allowed to dry again and then the granary was loaded with dried field corn (still on the cob) the capstone was placed and the entire structure was sealed and left for the winter.
Rock Art Experiments
Hide Preparation
Teepee Construction
With these experiments and others like them, we hope to answer or address several questions important to the archaeology of the canyon. These include requirements of time, materials, and manpower for construction and how those requirements might change as a result of more challenging locations; the techniques involved with native construction practices; and how effective were our experiments in terms of accomplishing their required tasks. Was the corn protected, from animals and weather over the course of the winter and how long will the rock art last in a completely exposed environment? Updates to these experiments will be posted as spring arrives and researchers are able to once again access the canyon and check on their condition.

Founder Insight gives you feedback from the startup trenches.
In this post from the Next Jump blog, CEO, Charlie Kim, tells us why mentorship is so important for new startups and shares the most important advice he has ever received.
Charlie first became involved in the NYC Founder Institute Chapter in 2011 and has since been consecutively voted a top mentor in the program. Charlie, always interested in helping entrepreneurs and the NYC tech community, has found it as a way to scale mentorship and help multiple mentees at once. To hear more from Charlie, follow him on Twitter @CharlieKim.
Below are some of the top lessons Charlie has learned during his tenure as an entrepreneur, Founder & CEO and shared with the Founder Institute;
"Why is it so important for experienced founders to mentor new founders?
1. Human beings are the only animals who can pass knowledge down.
2. Teaching is the highest standard of learning.
What are the one or two pieces of advice you tell new founders that you wish you knew when you got started?
1. Get your oars in the water: launch quickly in a focused direction and iterate like hell.
2. Investment in loss: no OMGs, no mistakes, only lessons learned.
What is the hardest lesson you had to learn as an entrepreneur?
1. Humility. How wrong I can be. No matter how perfect a plan, how great the strategy, how stron the team/board, how much capital…it can still go wrong (many times over).
2. It's not about the right decision (idea, strategy, plan, team) it's about making a decision…RIGHT.
3. People won't do what you want. Great instructions leads to people not thinking for themselves which in the long run leads to worse results. People commit to their own solutions, but they need help (this is where you come in). As you increase the density of talent (smart/driven) this becomes more apparent.
What is the best piece of entrepreneurial advice you ever received?
Learn to trust yourself. You will pay the price/consequences of bad decisions. You know the tradeoffs better than anyone. Trust yourself. You know best."

KNF pumps are underpinned by a modular concept. Each pump type consists of three main components: pump head, compressor housing and motor.
The materials used in the pump head can be substituted to provide greater chemical resistance. Multiple motor options or inter-head connections are available depending on the customer's requirements.
Starting with a series product, any pump can be modified to provide an individual customized solution, which is then referred to as a project pump.

Many families broke rules the past few weeks—staying up late to watch the Giants games (even on school nights), skipping soccer practice, eating in the living room and filling up on way too many potato chips. On Sunday night when the Giants swept the World Series, my kids were up until 10 p.m. watching fireworks burst above the San Francisco skyline.
Now families are deciding whether to break another rule and let their kids skip school to watch the victory parade.
Shortly after Sergio Romo threw an 89-mile-per-hour fastball down the middle of home plate and struck out Miguel Cabrera, Giants executives announced that the parade will roll down San Francisco's Market Street on Halloween.
"The city that revels in Bay to Breakers, Halloween in the Castro, and any chance to dress up (or down) and party, will throw an orange-and-black celebration to rival all others," SFGate reported.
Halloween?!? Really?
Parents were quick to question the date, which was obviously (and probably smartly) chosen to cut costs. With both Halloween and the parade on the same day, the city only has to clean up one big mess.
Most schools host Halloween festivities on October 31 and many kids, especially those in elementary school, would rather bob for apples and parade around in their costumes with their friends at school than attend the Giants victory celebration. This means Mom and Dad need to be at school to help with the festivities and take pictures—so going to the victory parade is out of the question for them too.
Over on the Bay Area Moms Facebook page, many parents expressed disappointment over the parade date. "Last night, I was prepared to let them miss school," East Bay mom Karen Selke wrote. "But now my 7-year-old doesn't want to miss all the Halloween festivities at school, so we won't be going. Wish they picked another day…"
"So frustrated!" Oakland mom Elisa Stillman chimed in. "Couldn't have picked a worse day for families with young children (i.e., a fair share of your season ticket holders and faithfuls, Front Office). Let's do it different NEXT YEAR! Weekend parade, please."
"I was talking to one of the teachers at school and it made her just mad that the Mayor picked the same day as all the school Halloween festivities for the parade," San Francisco mom Margaret Lanphier added. "It's great that the city is celebrating but why couldn't it be on a different day? Just another example of the city being unfriendly to families — they should be doing stuff that brings families into the city not exclude them or even drive them away."
They're "shafting parents," Jennifer Pettit wrote. "I missed the 2010 parade and would love to see this one. But I'm not gonna skip my kids' Halloween parades."
We also heard from one San Francisco mom who is concerned that the combination of Halloween and the Giants parade might equal trouble and unsafe conditions. "I am discouraged by the crowds last night who set bonfires, tipped over cars, and threw bottles at police," Peggy Christian shared. "What made the 2010 experience so great was the sweetness and pure excitement of everyone there. It really felt like a small town parade even though it was attended by hundreds of thousands of people. What worries me about this years' parade is that, on Halloween, it might have a more dangerous, less innocent element to it."
Some parents think taking kids out of school is a bad idea whether or not it's Halloween. "Do parents realize California public schools get paid per day per child? If your child isn't there, the school and your child lose money for education," Ann Mulligan shared.
"…I have completely enjoyed watching the amazing plays and the [teamwork] in action," San Francisco mom Carlin DeCato shared. "It's been great to discuss with my girls the professionalism and group effort at reaching goals. But I would never have my children miss their classes to celebrate it further. Just the same as I wouldn't have them miss school for a movie opening (such as Harry Potter), Broadway show, or the like."
A few local private schools are assuming their students want to cheer on their heroes at the victory parade, and they're designating tomorrow a school holiday. One parent told SFGate that San Francisco's St. Ignacious Preparatory High School "sent a blast voice mail to all parents that Wednesday will be a school holiday."
San Francisco public schools will be in session tomorrow and the district is forbidding teachers from taking their students on parade field trips. A statement released from San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Richard Carranza reads:
Every day and every minute of instruction counts so we encourage families to make sure their child is in school and ready to learn.
Our students cannot afford to lose any more instructional time. State budget cuts have already forced our district to shorten the school year over the past three years and, depending on the outcome of the November 6 elections, we may be forced to cut as many as five more days this school year and 10 days next year.
While this year's Halloween date introduces all sorts of complications, many kids are still planning to cheer on their favorite players (though probably fewer than in 2010). When asked if she was bringing her kids to the victory parade, San Francisco mom Robyn Calara gave a simple, definitive answer, "Absolutely!"
Are your kids skipping school to attend the Giants victory parade? Why or why not?

Talented people are leaving Pixar because very few people get a shot at directing a film of their own.
For all the success, however, there's very little room atop Pixar's food chain. While live-action movie studios might crank out more than a dozen movies annually, the digital animation company built by Apple's Steve Jobs barely makes a film a year -- and had no features at all in 2005 or 2002. What's more, all Pixar movies so far have been directed by an inner circle of animation all-stars: John Lasseter ("Toy Story," "A Bug's Life," "Toy Story 2" and "Cars"), Brad Bird ("The Incredibles" and "Ratatouille"), Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo" and summer's forthcoming "Wall-E") and Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc." and 2009's "Up").
Brad Bird is set to direct a live-action movie about the earthquake that hit San Francisco in 1906.

With its golden sands, wooded ciffs and large hotels and guest houses, Saundersfoot would be the last place to imagine could have been an industrial town.
Yet this attractive and popular seaside resort in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park had its origins in some pretty grimy industries.
Coal, iron and fire clay together with fishing and brick-making were the original economic providers of the town which the locals pronounce as Sandersfoot. There were coal mines all round the inland area, clay and iron ore deposits on the shore and under the cliffs and fish of all sorts offshore in Carmarthen Bay.
Its transformation from industrial area to popular summer playground over less than 100 yrs has been remarkable.
Coal was evidently mined well back in time. The travelling chronicler John Leland commented in 1536 on his first sight of "the coal pittes" near Saundersfoot and nearby "a wood, not veri greate, but yet the fairest that I remember that I saw in Pembrokeshire." This was obviously Coedrath wood, still enhancing the scenery and once a great forest.
There are various theories about the derivation of the name Saundersfoot but the preferred one among scholars is that it emanated from a shortened form of the name Alexander, since there was a local man called Walter Elisaunder who paid rent for a watercourse there in 1332, and Elisaunder's Ford probably crossed it.
Several small collieries were built in the 18th century, Moreton being one of them, with 30 men and eight women working there. One of the biggest was Bonville's Court, opened in 1842 and which had 234 men working underground by 1917 and another 84 working above ground. In 1899 the Hean Castle estate was bought by Sir William Thomas Lewis, who had acquired the famous Lewis-Merthyr collieries in the Rhondda Valley four years earlier. Later becoming Baron Merthyr, his family still live in the castle.
A railway to serve the collieries was built in 1829 and the harbour quays were developed to handle the large tonnages of coal being shipped out. Now the harbour is a sheltered tidal marina, the number of boats bobbing at their moorings demonstrating the resort's popularity as a yachting centre.
The coal industry, the ironworks at nearby Pleasant Valley, the brickworks and the oron ore excavations are now lost in the mists of time, only archaeological remains revealing where they were. Saundersfoot is now totally devoted to tourism, even fishing is a diminished activity, although in recent years there were regular trips from the harbour to fish for tope and blue shark in Carmarthen Bay. Local businessman George Torkington used to take shark-fishing parties out in his converted RAF launch Eldora years ago, often in the company of local trans-Atlantic yachtsman Val Howells.

What's in an app? Not all that share that appellation would smell as sweet to mobile phone users (with apologies to the author of Romeo and Juliet).
That's why Boston-based research firm Dalbar rated 45 financial services company apps, according to nine distinct evaluation categories including discoverability, branding, design, navigation, engagement, draw, personalization, support and ease of use.
We include one app that succeeded across the board, and nine others that exemplify excellence in each of these nine categories.
(Check out 10 Tech Trends That'll Rattle the Advisory Industry at ThinkAdvisor.)
"Mobile technology has evolved from a mere novelty into an absolute necessity," says Dalbar's managing director, Kathleen Whalen. "It is imperative for financial services firms to not fall in line with their competitors but blaze their own trail."
Here are 10 app producers that do just that (with the top app first and the rest in no particular order).
1. ETrade Mobile for iPad
Top Honors: highly rated all-around
Of the 45 apps evaluated, ETrade is one of an elite four (CIBC, Soctiabank and Allstate produce the other three) that Dalbar calls a "trailblazer" — an app recognized for its potential to keep the firm in the customer's view.
A user can trade stocks, check performance, use a variety of customizable features including notifications designed to sustain user engagement.
"E*Trade Mobile's easy-to-use and visually appealing app is available to account holders and non-account holders alike. The app provides market data to all and quick and easy access to account details to current clients. New accounts can also be initiated through the use of the app," writes Dalbar.
Besides its four "trailblazer" apps — those that attained high ratings across categories — Dalbar cites nine "pacesetters" that achieve an exceptional rating in an individual evaluation category. The following nine apps exemplify qualities that financial services companies should be seeking to excel in.
2. RidgeWorth Investments
Honors: Discoverability Champ
Financial services companies want their target audience to discover their app — that is, locate it and understand its function.
That's what investment research firm Ridgeworth manages exceptionally. The app is prominently promoted on Ridgeworth's website, which even has a video tutorial of the app to lower any barriers to use.
"Ridgeworth Investments' iPad app earned a perfect 5 rating in Discoverability due to its promotion of this investment research app on the firm's website and for its offering of pertinent information in Apple's App Store," Dalbar writes.
3. Franklin Templeton (US) for iPad
Honors: Branding Champ
You can have the market at your fingertips — fund returns, capital gains indications, thought leadership topic discussions — and never forget that Franklin Templeton Investments is somehow connected to all of this.
That's because the mutual fund company — with wise old Ben Franklin's countenance facing viewers on its logo — is subtly embedded everywhere.
"Franklin Templeton ensures that users are aware of exactly whose app they are utilizing without its branding ever becoming overpowering," Dalbar writes.
Aside from its branding prowess, the app gets high ratings on navigation, engagement and ease of use.
4. Vanguard for Advisors
Honors: Design
The Vanguard for Advisors app's tasteful design — the execution of the app's visual elements — make this resource an appealing way to access its product and performance information and market and investment commentary.
"With its use of universally recognized icons, accompanied by legible, well-contrasted text, Vanguard's menu design leaves no room for questions as to what can be accomplished within this app," Dalbar writes.
The color combinations are also notably consistent with Vanguard's branding.
5. T. Rowe Price Personal
Honors: Navigation
The T. Rowe Price Personal app's exceptional maneuverability strengthens it as a resource where investors can view and manage accounts.
"Because there are headings found at the top of every screen, disorientation is a non-issue as users know exactly where they are at all times, and the arrow found within the menu's sub-screens helps the user go back easily," Dalbar writes.
Enhancing navigation, a menu icon is easily located at the top left of every screen.
6. Steer Clear Mobile (State Farm)
Honors: Engagement
Sustaining users' interest and motivating them to remain in the app longer is something State Farm excels in with its Steer Clear app.
"Not only does the app pique young drivers' curiosity in the form of quizzes, videos and self-assessing questionnaires, but drivers are also able to earn badges called 'Bumper Stickers' within the app. The app does not outwardly reveal how to earn a badge, and Steer Clear Mobile cleverly engages users by making them analyze hints in order to infer how to earn a particular badge," Dalbar writes.
Users can tout their badges via Facebook and call an agent to claim their discounts.
7. LifeSales (Transamerica)
Honors: Draw
Will the app encourage continuous interaction and draw users back? That's what Transamerica's LifeSales manages.
"Transamerica's LifeSales app provides financial advisors with a multitude of tools necessary to support their business on-the-go. The app's exceptional rating in this evaluation category is earned due to its volume of high-value business support, which draws advisors to continuously seek out the app to complete essential business activities," Dalbar writes.
With a tap of the finger, the advisor can retrieve new or previously run quotes for customers and find a wealth of sales ideas and presentations.
8. On Investing (Charles Schwab)
Honors: Personalization
The ability of an investor to suit his personal needs can only occur where an app provides depth, something Schwab's On Investing app excels in.
"Users can save articles, create personalized tabs and reorganize pages to suit their needs. Once within a tab, articles can be moved around to position them on any part of the screen, and notes can be added via a familiar, yellow square paper. Notes can also be pinned to one's calendar," Dalbar writes.
9. MyLifeNow (New York Life)
Honors: Support
No need to give up in frustration on New York Life's MyLifeNow app when seeking extra help.
"Beyond offering support for technical matters, the app also displays context-specific help icons which, when tapped, will generate help windows for individual regions within the app. By displaying support in this fashion, important information is provided without forcing users to leave the screen they were previously viewing."
While an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, the app provides a firewall of support through its Help section and FAQs as well.
10. Schwab Workplace Retirement
Honors: Ease of Use
People accessing a retirement app are older, perhaps, than your average mobile user, so the Schwab Workplace Retirement app's ease of use eliminates barriers to usage.
"The logical organization of content and straightforward language results in a minimal learning curve to become familiar with this app," Dalbar writes.
Buttons are large enough to get accurate screen taps, a plus for mobile-klutzy older folks.

Red Valentino Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have really locked in on the princess dream dress at Valentino. There's something regal about their clothes. Their diffusion line Red Valentino still fits into the princess motif, but this girl is all good times and frivolity.
Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
The hair and makeup was something resembling inspiration from his own collection in New York; a fresh twist on 60's mod revealed ladylike beehive updos topped with delicate satin ribbon wrapped around the hair.
Comme des Garçons Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
Long, electric white hair flowed down to bare knees, parted harshly down the middle with one cropped layer to frame cheekbones on both sides.
The History of Chanel N°5
CHANEL present a retrospective of the most important events in the history of the legendary fragrance, N°5.
House K by Auerbach Halevy Architects
In a rural area in the center of Israel, Auerbach-Halevy has designed a unique house: at first glance it is not recognized as residential, and even at a second one it is difficult to distinguish what is it used for.
Rick Genest by Yves Borgwardt
This editorial was originally published in February 2012, photographed by Yves Borgwardt for High Snobiety this photo shoot captures our good friend Rick Genest.
Miu Miu Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
Eyes were focused and girlishly intense on the Miu Miu runway; a sense of a "girl about town" sauntered provocatively in dark denims and tie-dyed furs with an ease only Miuccia Prada can create.
Valentino Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
To say that this was a collection of exquisite elegance and an almost quiet refinement would be an understatement.
Edvard Munch's The Scream to go on view at the MoMA
Edvard Munch's iconic The Scream (1895), among the most celebrated and recognized images in art history, will go on view at The Museum of Modern Art for a period of six months beginning October 24.
Valentino Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli are something like conjurers. Their Valentino woman is a perfect mix of modern and mythic femininity. Their clothes have always been blessed by a finely tuned temporal amalgamation of good taste – a little bit of the old, a little bit of the new.
Blood, Sweat and 30 Years
Vincent Castiglia opens his retrospective show at the Sacred Gallery in SoHo, NY tonight. The media are all over him – from the BBC to Reuters, there are a line of TV crews and journalists fascinated by his huge paintings of " the universal themes of death, sex, birth and decay" as he succinctly puts it each time.
Balenciaga Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The Resort and Pre-Fall collections are always very telling of what Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere has in store for his big ready-to-wear collections.
Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Not to insinuate that Massimiliano Giornetti has struggled to find his footing at Salvatore Ferragamo, but his Spring collection was so overwhelmingly pleasing, so supremely luxurious and so accessible, that it may just be the apotheosis of everything that Salvatore Ferragamo stands for historically in palpable actuality today.
Emilio Pucci Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
Using the "opulence of Indochina" as his inspiration, Peter Dundas takes us on a journey of Asian eloquence with delicate dragon and tiger embroideries, kimono jackets, and plunging cheongsams revealing bare backs of the adventurous wearer.

Jil Sander Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
The return of Jil Sander to her eponymous line after an eight year high-fashion hiatus is one of the industry's most noted, talked about stories.
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
What has happened to Dolce & Gabbana? They're officially gridlocked in a campy nostalgia, in a kitschy bucolic loop that looks to be inescapable. A year ago they hit upon something big, a special way of doing things. You can pick out the same notes in last Spring's show, to last Fall's foray to this latest collection for Spring '13.
Versace Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
There was definitely a younger, more carefree side of the Versace woman this season, a generous step away from the dark deviant we saw last season. This was the type of bohemian girl that parties at Coachella and takes movie worthy, cross-country road trips with her girlfriends, evanescent and free.
Marni Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Marni's Consuelo Castiglioni decided that this was the season to turn that cushiony notion right on its head. Marni is a label brimming with supposed givens. Marni means color, print, fabulous jewelry – it means leather and fur. Turns out, not so much. Well, at least not this season, anyway.
Giles Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
Giles Deacon shows us a tougher side of spring with his new black and white collection this season. Leather laser cut dresses and silk photo prints were playful, but still sexy revealing bare skin underneath graphic cut outs.
Mulberry Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
Although the collection was very different, the same playful, quirky spirit could be seen in the presentation, which was held at London's Claridges Ballroom and transformed into an English country garden with pastel-colored garden gnomes and wheelbarrows dotted around, accompanied by lush floral hangings.
Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
Vivienne Westwood Red Label this season was by far one of the favorite beauty looks of the week, although not quite as ready to wear as the collection itself, definitely bold and interesting to watch as each face told the story of an Andy Warhol painting come to life.
Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 – Beauty Report
There was a warmth and luminosity to the skin; the brand's new Fresh Glow Foundation was used and dotted with its anticipated Illuminator. Cheeks were softly contoured, and powder skipped to keep the dewy effect.
Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
1940s glamor reigned at the Burberry Prorsum catwalk today. Christopher Bailey looked to capes and corsets to tap into that zenith of Brit elegance and he did so by turning out pieces you wouldn't necessarily envision belonging to the Burberry house upon first glance.
Versace Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
After the explosive success of Versace for H&M and the welcome return to couture form with Atelier Versace, it appears Donatella's newfound creative impetus has staked fertile ground in the ready-to-wear line, making for a fresh and spirited Versace girl, but one whose inherent carnality is always close at hand.

Yesterday Paul and I watched the most emotional movie we've seen in a long time. It was called P.S. I Love You. I don't think it would have been as emotional for me had I not been married for a couple of years now, but it just really hit me and I bawled my head off!
The film opens with this fight between a married couple-- and I thought it was very realistic. I've had fights with Paul in which we absolutely broke each other's hearts. It's because it is so HARD to be married and keep it all together and nothing ever manages to happen as you plan. But every time we fight, we always make up and love each other more and sometimes fights are good because it gives you a chance to say all the things that simply need to be said. And that's how it happened in the movie too. After the husband had stormed out angry, he came back in and they ran to each other and kissed and said sorry. It gave me the feeling of a true and deep relationship with all its complexities.
But the next scene in the movie is the husband's Irish wake just a few months later because he has died of a brain tumor. The rest of the movie is the story of the wife and the process of healing that she has to go through without him. There's more to it that I'm not telling so that all of you who haven't seen it can have some delightful surprises.
We get to see some of the things that have happened in their relationship in the past and I just kept imagining what I would do if I lost Paul and consequently could not stop crying through the whole thing! Normally we watch movies on separate couches, but he had to come over to my couch to be with me because I was so upset.
It's good to be reminded of how much you love your spouse. Marriage is something that only survives if it is cherished and nourished. I just love Paul so much!

Old pants.
My mom and my sister have just stopped by Provo for a few hours and are on their way back home. Sara had an appointment and they ate dinner with us before leaving.
Mom brought this big bag of jeans for me to try on and some of them were mine from junior high! I'm not generally attached to clothing, but it was fun to put on my old pants, like talking to an old friend. I couldn't fit into them, but I'm not too far from being able to do so! I have an unusual body, not unlike my friends who have recently given birth. I have an overlarge belly and so all the pants were a perfect fit on my legs and butt- and wouldn't fit over the stupid belly!
I really can sympathize with mothers on many levels.
But, as I was saying, I've got some of my old junior high pants back! It's a good reminder that I am the same person that I have always been.

Anyone got a vision crystal?
It's not like I TRY to go long periods of time without blogging. I could use the excuse that I'm busy, which is true, but so is everyone else in the world. That excuse just usually doesn't work.
I sometimes wish that I had a little lens that I could look through to see what is to come. Paul and I feel so lost and directionless right now, not knowing if he will get into a graduate program and not certain what we will do if he doesn't. It's the point at which you sigh and keep trudging on...
On the one hand, there is a lot of possibility no matter what happens. With his Bachelor's, Paul should be able to get a real job and we can always stay where we are. We do like it here a lot, other than the basement living arrangements. There's always next year to reapply to more programs- and either this time around or next, he'll get in somewhere and things will be all right.
I just wish I KNEW! I hate this stumbling around in the dark. We literally have no idea what's going to happen and that makes it impossible to make plans. I should just be excited for the ride, but I don't always feel that adventurous.
The most important thing is having faith that somehow something good will happen for us and we will be okay. I want to pour that hope into my husband so that he can be at peace. But this is just life, isn't it?

Yoruba Actor, Yemi Solade yesterday took to his instagram shade to throw a heavy subtle shade at Dancehall artiste – Cynthia Morgan.He posted a side by side picture of Cynthia Morgan with a Cow and captioned it "COWsquare". He was referring to the fact that Cynthia's had a nose ring on in the picture…same as the cow.His reasons and intentions for pulling this is unknown, but Yemi claims he never knew Cynthia Morgan was an Entertainer.He has since deleted the post from instagram and has refused to apologize…instead he is battling a blog on instagram who first reported the story.Fans are saying he should just apologize and move on.
