MANDEVILLE, La. (BP) -- Pat Hayden, a deacon at Mandeville Baptist Church in Louisiana, is a shepherd of sorts. It is his job to round up sheep, donkeys, goats and maybe a calf or two for the church's annual Christmas live nativity.
But he doesn't do it with a rod and staff. Hayden is the animal facilitator who arranges, by phone, for the mini-herd to be delivered from farms as far as 50 minutes away to the nativity scene on the church property for three afternoons in December.
The church has had some interesting experiences with the animals but generally everything goes off without a hitch, Hayden said.
"We have one lady who loans us between 15 to 20 sheep and we provide some funds for her expenses," Hayden said. "Other people loan us donkeys, goats and even a calf, dropping off the animals before crowds start arriving and bringing them home afterwards each night. The owners are very good about helping and will stay around and watch and to be there if needed. Sometimes the animals stay overnight."
This is the fourth year the church has staged the live nativity called "And on Earth: Peace," which is viewed by an estimated 1,000 people the first full weekend of December. Guests walk a roped-off trail to view nine scenes of events surrounding Jesus' birth.
The scenes, portrayed by church members and animals, are lit by torches, fire pits and lights. Markers at each station explain each scene while Christmas music plays.
"We use mostly donkeys standing in the scenes and put sheep in little corrals that church members have built," said David Watson, music director at First Baptist Mandeville.
"We've never had any problems, but we did have one funny experience when one of the guys decided to try and ride one of the donkeys after a performance. He dug his heels in the donkey's side and the donkey reared straight up and threw him 10 feet right into one of our nativity signs, then took off."
Hayden recalled one year when the live nativity included two male donkeys: one regular sized and one miniature, plus one female donkey.
"There was a turf war between the two male donkeys for the affection of the female donkey and the miniature donkey was primarily the more interested one," Hayden said. "That was pretty funny."
He said the animals are popular with the crowds and many want to pet the animals.
"The sheep are docile," Hayden said. "They just mosey along. But they like to eat and they'll start munching towards the baby Jesus in the straw if you don't watch them."
Both Watson and Hayden say animal "hygiene" is not a problem.
"The performance is at night and outdoors," Hayden said, "so you don't see any 'accidents.' We control that by putting down straw where the animals stand."
Overall, Watson said, the animals lend an air of authenticity to the event that makes the portrayal of Jesus's birth more dramatic to the 100 members of the cast and crew.
"We've done lots of programs and dramas, but we've never dreamed this would have such an impact on us," Watson said. "The first night we staged this, while we were cleaning up, we could not get over how much more real Jesus was to us. We could feel it and see it on each other's faces during the performance and on the faces of the people who came."

First-Year Seminars
A first-year seminar is a class with twenty first-year students. It is conducted in a discussion format and focuses on a particular discipline.
Students enrolled in the first-year seminars will have mentoring and guidance from classroom and library faculty members working in collaboration to foster student learning. They will have opportunities both inside and outside the classroom to socialize with their peers and make friends that can last their entire college career.
Students in a first-year fall seminar will also enroll in the same section of College 101 and ENG 1. The seminar will fulfill the same requirements as other sections of the course. In addition to the additional support from the College 101 instructor, library faculty with expertise in the discipline will be available to assist students with their research.
The Fall 2014 first-year seminars are:

Another challenge presented itself after I got the structure built. I realized this cake was NOT going to serve 25 people! When I filled out the auction paper work months ago, I told them it would serve 25 people because that's what I had seen online. However, none of those cakes were stand up cakes...and because of the internal structure, I knew it wouldn't serve that many!! I called one of the auction chairpeople and she said everything was out to print and asked if I could make another cake to go with it. OH sure! :) - I'll just whip something up! :) haha!! But, I knew I needed to because that wouldn't be fair. So, I decided to make a small amp to go with the electric guitar. The amp ended up being two half-sheet layers of cake that I cut into 8 layers. It ended up being about 8.5"w x 5.5"d x 10"h. I used four layer of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and four layers of mudcake with vanilla buttercream. I also used almost 3 lbs of ganache on it!!!! Here's the result...sorry, I didn't get any pictures after I stacked it.
Thanks for looking!!

Slip into the quiet shadows of Woodlands' tall trees to discover a Georgia Piedmont forest as it existed before European settlers. Most of the seven acres that comprise Woodlands is forest and is being carefully preserved and restored with plantings indigenous to the upper Georgia Piedmont.
Towering oaks and poplars form the high canopy, while beneath these 100-year-old giants the forest is surprisingly airy and open - much as our forests appeared before the invasion of exotic plants. At mid-story, lovely native trees are making a comeback in Woodlands: musclewood, sourwood and sassafras, offering a beautiful fall show of reds, pinks, oranges and yellow.
Come spring, the visitor sees airy stands of native azaleas blooming at eye-level in delicate pinks, creamsicle orange, coral and red. Hugging the soft forest floor are more botanical wonders: wild gingers; ferns of all kinds, including the resurrection fern which springs to life after a good rain; mayapple leaves as big as a dinner plate; ephemerals that line the creek with white in early spring then disappear, leaf and all, for another year.
Check our visitors' page to find out how to see Woodlands and browse our online encyclopedia to learn about Georgia Piedmont native plants.

Mobile web browsers have always been a little disappointing, but Mozilla is making great strides into bringing its Firefox browser up to the standard of the desktop edition. The Android version of the app boasts an impressive feature set that sounds more reminiscent of desktop software, but while the browser may be impressive, there is still room for improvement.
This latest version improves page load times on 3G connections and the overall performance of web browser is also accelerated thanks to smoothing page panning and CSS3 animations. Privacy concerns can be alleviated by enabling the Do Not Track option to prevent web sites from recording information about online activity.
One of the key advantages of using Firefox over other mobile web browser is that it is so closely linked to the desktop version of the software. Settings and preferences can be easily synchronised between platforms and support for add-ons means that the capabilities of the browser can be extended and customised is a variety of ways.
But there is room for improvement. Lack of support for Flash means that that many web sites cannot be viewed in the way intended, and as there are no restriction on Flash supported like those imposed by Apple in iOS, this is a strange omission.
This is the brand new Firefox 32 for Android, with these changes:
- Switch between any of Firefox for Android's 55 supported languages without leaving the browser
- Clear History control added to the history panel
- Gamepad API finalized and enabled
- New HTTP cache provides improved performance including crash recovery
- Integration of generational garbage collection
- Support URL autocomplete on Swype (and other composition focused) keyboards
- Locales added: Armenian [hy-AM], Basque [eu], Fulah [ff], Icelandic [is], Scottish Gaelic [gd], Welsh [cy]

After doing sold-out and attendance smashing art shows worldwide, Shepard Fairey and Art Alliance have turned their attention to Chicago. Assembling one of the largest art shows ever done, Art Alliance: The Provocateurs, features trailblazers of the art world such as Shepard Fairey, Swoon, HAZE, Space Invader, Dzine, Mark Mothersbaugh, FAILE, Ryan McGinness, Winston Smith, RETNA, Stanley Donwood, Monica Canilao, Clare Rojas, Estevan Oriol, Evan Hecox, Gary Panter, Jen Stark, Camille Rose Garcia, Revok, Cleon Peterson, D*Face, WK Interact and many others.
The show will be far more than a typical exhibition by combining world class art with experiential and interactive components such as: music, public art, panel discussions, charities, local community interests, and education.
In 2014, the Art Alliance: The Provocateurs exhibition will take place during, and in partnership with, Lollapalooza, one of the largest music festivals in the world, which draws hundreds of thousands of culturally sophisticated and creatively curious visitors to Chicago each summer. The energy and vibrance of our selected visual artists parallels that of the musicians who rock the festival every year. Cross pollinating with the Festival guarantees that the art show will reach beyond the all-too-often narrow audience for art.
Additionally, the exhibit will feature live music and a Saturday night Aftershow to complement the revolutionary spirit of the art in The Provocateurs.

US Release available at PM Press
Dead Kennedys: Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, The Early Years
Alex Ogg • Illustrations by Winston Smith • Photographs by Ruby Ray
Dead Kennedys routinely top both critic and fan polls as the greatest punk band of their generation. Their debut full-length, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, in particular, is regularly voted among the top albums in the genre. Fresh Fruit offered a perfect hybrid of humor and polemic strapped to a musical chassis that was as tetchy and inventive as Jello Biafra's withering broadsides. Those lyrics, cruel in their precision, were revelatory. But it wouldn't have worked if the underlying sonics were not such an uproarious rush, the paraffin to Biafra's naked flame.
Dead Kennedys' continuing influence is an extraordinary achievement for a band that had practically zero radio play and only released records on independent labels. They not only existed outside of the mainstream but were, as V. Vale of Search and Destroy noted, the first band of their stature to turn on and attack the music industry itself. The DKs set so much in motion. They were integral to the formulation of an alternative network that allowed bands on the first rung of the ladder to tour outside of their own backyard. They were instrumental in supporting the concept of all-ages shows and spurned the advances of corporate rock promoters and industry lapdogs. They legitimized the notion of an American punk band touring internationally while disseminating the true horror of their native country's foreign policies, effectively serving as anti-ambassadors on their travels.
The book uses dozens of first-hand interviews, photos, and original artwork to offer a new perspective on a group who would become mired in controversy almost from the get-go. It applauds the band's key role in transforming punk rhetoric, both polemical and musical, into something genuinely threatening—and enormously funny. The author offers context in terms of both the global and local trajectory of punk and, while not flinching from the wildly differing takes individual band members have on the evolution of the band, attempts to be celebratory—if not uncritical.
"We have a sense of humor and we're not afraid to use it in a vicious way if we have to. In some ways, we're cultural terrorists, using music instead of guns."
—Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys
"It was obvious that the DKs weren't just another band that was gonna come and go. They were something special. Biafra was an absolute talent. And he had a band behind him that were tight and good."
—Howie Klein, concert promoter, disc jockey, and record label executive
"One day, this kid from my social studies class brought in a cassette tape of The Dead Kennedys' Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and I listened to it and my life was changed completely."
—Adam Gierasch, film director
"One of my favorite rock 'n' roll memories is of an after-party during the DKs' first visit to Seattle. Recognize that bands like this for me—these actual guys being at a party in the same house that I was in—was like being in the presence of Led Zeppelin or Kiss."
—Duff McKagan of Guns 'n' Roses
"My education was punk rock—what the Dead Kennedys said … It was attacking America, but it was American at the same time."
—Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day

The death of Whitney Houston hasn't diminished the marketing value of her ex-boyfriend Ray J -- TMZ has learned the singer just inked a major deal ... to fight the war on ingrown hairs.
Ray J is officially the new face of Prince Reigns shaving serum ... and according to the singer's rep, the deal is worth up to $1 million bucks ... though the rep wouldn't divulge the exact terms of the contract.
A rep for the company tells us Sophie Monk signed a similar deal.
Fun Fact -- Ray's former sex tape partner Kim Kardashian has also dabbled in the body hair removal business -- inking a deal of her own with the TRIA laser hair removal system a few years ago.
We said it was a "fun" fact ... not an interesting fact.
I dunno. I'd be checking product content for urine.
The fine print says it also cures Herpes, something Ray J knows all about.
Ray J those little bumps on on your little peepah are not ingrown hairs they are herpes and genital warts that are all over your small skinny pecker, see a doctor
Ray J those bumps are herpes and genital warts not ingrown hairs, well you might have ingrown hairs among the diverse amount of things popping up on your small peepah but most of the bumps are treatable not curable STDs so see what antivirals and medicated creams the doctors have to offer like they did for Michael Vicks Herpes when he went to the clinic and used the alias Ron Mexico and got sued and settled out of court by a women he gave them to
That fact isn't fun tho.
some black women are upset that they used a white women sophia monk in the ad sophia was paid she is not going out with ray j. If the ad had two black people in it trying to sell ingrown hair shaving serum black people would sue the company for implying that ingrown hairs are a black problem only even though I have seen sophia monks bikini area and other parts of her body and dont think she has problems with ingrown hair she is just doing the ad for the paycheck
I don't know how to say this but, This cat is just NASTY and it's because he dipped his stick in Kim Kardahsian. After a guy's been with her..Oh no!!!! He's done. I going to sit back and watch Kanye destroy the house kris Jenner built..He's not one to be done like a dog and Kim? well she's good for something..
she is very hot, really could have done without him in this photo
ray j is so D...HOT, SEXXXY,, Handsome,, Cute.... with a nice >>>> BIG Baseball Bat..!! Batter up !!!! thank you,, He's HOT !! case closed.
Whitney Houston was never dating this creep he was just her runner boy. She would never date some lowlife loser like Ray J on drugs or not.
I bet they're in a big tub of piss
Ray-J is Illuminati handler.
ANY woman, man, dog, lizard, etc that chooses to bump uglies with Ray J honestly should donate their brain to science to figure their dumb azz out. Seriously.

This Mom Blogger Is Our Hero!
There's a lot of nonsense to wade through out here in the Wild West of the blogosphere. But every so often, you stumble across a post that just makes you say, "RIGHT THE EFF ON!" Such is the case with a lady who assumes the moniker "Nerdy Apple Bottom."
Her post "My Son Is Gay" details how her son wanted to be Daphne from "Scooby-Doo" for Halloween, then experienced panic and fear of ridicule when it came time to sport the getup and get to the school parade. Turns out it wasn't the other kids her "Boo" had to worry about. It was the parents!
She wrote: "Two mothers went wide-eyed and made faces as if they smelled decomp. And I realize that my son is seeing the same thing I am. So I say, 'Doesn't he look great?' And Mom A says in disgust, 'Did he ask to be that?!' I say that he sure did, as Halloween is the time of year that you can be whatever it is that you want to be. They continue with their nosy, probing questions as to how that was an option and didn't I try to talk him out of it. Mom B mostly just stood there in shock and dismay.
"And then Mom C approaches. She had been in the main room, saw us walk in and followed us down the hall to let me know her thoughts. And they were that I should never have 'allowed' this, and thank God it wasn't next year when he was in kindergarten, since I would have had to put my foot down and 'forbid' it. To which I calmly replied that I would do no such thing and couldn't imagine what she was talking about. She continued on and on about how mean children could be and how he would be ridiculed. My response to that: 'The only people that seem to have a problem with it is their mothers.'"
Can you BELIEVE?! This poor mom!
There's more in between (read the full post here), but NAB righteously continues:
"If my daughter had dressed as Batman, no one would have thought twice about it. But it also was heartbreaking to me that my sweet, kindhearted 5-year-old was right to be worried. He knew that there were people like A, B and C. And he, at 5, was concerned about how they would perceive him and what would happen to him .... I hate that those women thought those thoughts -- and worse, felt comfortable saying them out loud. I hate that pink is still called a 'girl color' and that my baby has to be so brave if he wants to be Daphne for Halloween .... My job as his mother is not to stifle that man that he will be, but to help him along his way. Mine is not to dictate what is 'normal' and what is not, but to help him become a good person. I hope I am doing that. And my little man worked that costume like no other. He rocked that wig, and I wouldn't want it any other way."
YEAOUS! Well said, Nerdy! We think you rock!
And know what? You're absolutely right. Two days before Halloween, my 3-year-old daughter decided that she was over being a dinosaur and instead wanted to be Superman. Not Supergirl. Not Wonder Woman. SuperMAN.
So I bought her the costume. She rocked the sh*t out of it and no one said a word. Not to my face, anyway.
It sucks out loud that our kids in their innocence have to contend with a wealth of insane double standards when it comes to gender identification.
Here's hoping parents like you keep doing what you do, and manage to open a couple of eyeballs here and there along the way.
I agree. It's Halloween. I always let my kids choose their costumes. This is a time for them to dress up and pretend to be whatever they want to be. I feel bad this mother had to go through that
read the original post. the son was scared, the son worried, the son was uncomfortable and yet the mom made him wear it anyway. listen to your child. if he doesnt want to wear it, dont make him. he changed his mind, get over it and get off your high horse, trying to make a point. if he was all into it, then yeah, thats good, but no, she very clearly states that he was worried and she made him anyway. not cool mom. try being supportive of an actual choice, like NOT wearing it. or if he was actually gay or something.
Funny how grow ups push their own agenda on their children and yet complain when others don't accept their own children. Sometimes you can do just as much damage by trying too hard to prove a point (I could care less if my son is gay) as you do when you try too hard to make your child someone that they are not.
Wow, this "Hero" mom was so determine to show that she wasn't concerned that her son MAY BE gay that even when he was upset and terrified to go into his school with the costume on, she chose to MAKE him do it. She may be all P.C. but she did it at her child expense. Not cool.

Err, not quite folks. He was worried that people were going to give him trouble, and she persuaded him not to worry about it. Let's go to a corollary situation - you know your daughter really really wants to try out for the math team but she's worried people will think ill of her because she's a girl doing math. Do you say, "Yeah babe, you're right, screw the math team" or do you say, "Hey, people are generally kind and open-minded, and even if they aren't, you gotta do what's right for you." I'm pretty sure I'd say the second.
really -
Mom DID NOT "make him wear it anyway". She was merely guiding her son towards self confidence and high self esteem. I know her personally. She DOES NOT make her kids do what they don't want to do. I think her youngest have something to say to you.
Did you people READ the story or not….she only comforted him to ease his worry, she did not force him to wear it.I can tell you right now that most children his age will fight like crazy, even physically fight you to not wear something they don't want to…mine will anyway, so they wear what they want(within reason of course). But, as far as a costume is concerned, please, is it really that big of a deal? I think it is funny and cute! And guess what else? If he is gay, so F&^%#&* what? He has that right and should be left alone to be exactly who he is!!
In my opinion the two other mothers overstepped the boundary. A little boy can't go as Daphne but grown men can go in drag at Halloween. So what if this child is gay. Parents usually have it figured out by that age even if the child tries to hide it when older because of the stigma. Besides he looked adorable.
I agree with Zandhmom. The child changed his mind, but the mom still MADE him wear it. Other people's perceptions don't matter, of course they don't, but the child didn't want to wear the costume in the end, why make him?
Also, the implication about being christian therefore tolerant, well, I don't really follow that. Where in the bible does it mention that? Whilst children are being killed for teasing a bald man? Whilst god decides to kill the whole of mankind through drowning because he doesn't like sin? When a king wants to chop a baby in half because women are fighting over who his mother is? Tolerance is not taught in the bible. It's a shame this mother doesn't realise that.
Incidentally, I am tolerant and believe in tolerance. I would never take my children to a bigot-inducing place on Sunday mornings. They have better things to do than be taught about invisible sky magicians. Like make androgynous costumes so that strangers can't make silly assumptions about their lives.
Big kudos and love to Nerdy Apple Bottom for sticking up for her child. But one correction I want to make is that wanting to dress up in a 'girl' costume has nothing to do with potentially being gay or not and that what we're really talking about is how he expresses his gender… not sexual orientation. There are lots of gay boys/men who have no interest whatsoever in drag or pink clothes and there are lots of kids who we might think of as boys who are really transgender girls and in no way gay. Yes, and there are lots of straight/non-trans boys who just feel like dressing up as Daphne because it's fun. Please let's not use 'gay' as a blanket way of describing femininity expressed by boy children… too simplistic.
She's not my hero, I think this woman threw her kid under the bus on this one. The costume was fine and she did right by him there but, the blog post and media circus interviews were bad calls on her part. She stopped putting her son first the second she clicked the publish button.
Totally agree with mom of 3. Unbelievable. Her son is going to spend a lot of time in therapy with a mom like that.
The amazing little blueberry has emerged as natureâs number one source of antioxidants among fresh fruits and vegetables.
What if he wanted to go as a black movie/book person? People would loose their minds if a white child dressed as a black character. Bottom line…the adults need to wake up and shut up.
Whey proteins are not a single protein but consist of a number of individual protein components.
The amazing little blueberry has emerged as natureâs number one source of antioxidants among fresh fruits and vegetables.
The fact that 1) the author of the original blog and the author here insist on using the term "Rocking the wig" and 2) the father is never mentioned
say all that there needs to be said about this incident.
Useful reading. Thanks so much, very informative and easy to understand.

If you're expecting, you want to be sure your pregnancy is overseen by a caring, highly qualified physician. At UAMS, we have assembled a world-class team of doctors that will ensure you receive the best medical care pos
We have the most female doctors of any obstetrics (OB) practice in Arkansas, and if you have any complications, our general OB doctors are supported by board-certified high-risk pregnancy specialists.
Due to age, medical condition or history, some women and their babies are at a higher risk of complications.
We know that you want the best for your baby. And if your baby needs special attention, you'll find comfort in knowing that UAMS has a world-class neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
For high-risk pregnancies, premature births or medical needs, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is ready to care for the tiniest patients and their families.
In a continuation of our tradition of serving the health care needs of Arkansans, our general obstetrics (OB) program is a cornerstone of UAMS' health care offerings for women.
Nearly 97% of babies are born without major birth defects. But when defects do occur, being aware of them before delivery can improve the baby's outcome.
As a mother, one of the best things that only you can do for your baby is to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is more than a lifestyle choice – it is an important health choice.
The birth of a baby holds with it a miracle most parents aren't aware of – the ability to save a life.
Dr. Nancy Andrews Collins is an obstetrician and gynecologist (OB/GYN) at UAMS. She enjoys communicating with her patients and meeting their needs from their first gynecology exam into their senior years.

I have no freaking idea lol.I'd rather have him choking people and ripping their hearts out rather than painting tbh.An appreciation for art and music and finer things in life is fine but making him paint wasn't all that necessary,that too after Jeremy and Tyler.Like you said its repetitive.Also a lot of people seemed to hate the drawing he gave to Caroline but i actually found it sweet.it felt more heartfelt and sincere than the gifts he gave her.It was also a sign that she got through to him.But they shouldn't have made him paint her all the other times lol.that seemed wasteful and OOC to me.
I meant the drawings(not paintings) he drew of her at home itself(wrong word choice,i guess).I found it a little creepy too but unnecessary mostly and OOC,she was a girl he'd just met,why they had to make him all butthurt over the "betrayal" is beyond me.Klaus has been around for a 1000 years,he knew DES and everyone else were trying to kill him,i don't think it should have surprised him really.
I like the concept of KC but they didn't have to make him look like a lovestruck teenager obsessing over his object of affections.That was weird and out of nowhere,they should've given a better build-up imo.
I found the drawing he gave her pretty sweet(okay, it was cheesy too but i didn't mind it all that much :p),it was a way of expressing himself ,it showed he was listening when she told him off.IDK why anyone would attach any significance to the horse,he drew it just because she was Standing next to the it and maybe because she liked them,thats it.There is nothing more to it than that.
LOL.i think it could've been better too but what irks me the most is the lack of build-up.He literally went from trying to get her killed to fancying her in just one interaction.Thats why we can't justify KC properly because it really was dropped on us out of nowhere.Lets be honest most of us like it because of the sizzling chemistry and/or because of boredom form DES and TC.There is nothing else really.I liked how he was around caroline in 4x01 too,he was like himself,not some lovesick puppy but if he always threatning why/how would caroline ever reciprocate i.e if she doesn't go dark.I am down with the whole vampire mentoring thing if they ever go that way though,i don't want them to be a couple just yet, even though im dying for a hook-up between them lol.
