The Simple Truth About Biblical Literalism and the Fundamentalists Who Promote It
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In a much-hyped event live-streamed Tuesday night, "Science Guy" Bill Nye set out to defend evolution in a debate with Ken Ham, the CEO of Kentucky's Creation Museum. But there was a fundamental problem: Ham's young-earth creationism is not a religious belief, and it certainly is not scientific. To put it bluntly, it is quackery.
To understand Ham's view, we need a brief history of how the Bible is interpreted, and where his radically new heuristic comes from. As Paul Fry notes, literary theory or the study of texts (hermeneutics) was originally developed to interpret the Bible. Interpretations have always been based on contemporary events and politics – for instance, centuries of Christian anti-Semitism was based on an attempt to placate the Roman empire. Biblical literalism as an interpretative method can be traced back to Martin Luther's denunciation of the Catholic Church and his use of scripture to undermine their authority. Martin Luther's democratic mission later combined with the tenets of the scientific revolution and fundamentalist politics to produce biblical literalism, the idea that the Bible is a series of testable assertions that can be proven or disproven and that a layman can read and understand the meaning of scripture.
Biblical literalism is absurd, but it is simple. The fundamentalist is not interested in deeper truths, but rather weaponizing the Bible. A perfect example is women having authority in church. The verse fundamentalists cite to support this view is from, 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul tells the church of Corinth that women should be silent during the service. In many fundamentalist churches, this verse is used to deny women the right to become pastor, or even pray aloud during the service. Biblical scholar Ken Bailey notes that during this time in the Middle East, services were often held in classical Arabic, which women could not understand (most spoke a local dialect). Throughout the service they would begin to gossip, often so loudly that the minister would ask them to be silent. Paul, Bailey argues, was repeating this injunction in his letter. As Nye notes in the debate, Ham and other fundamentalists are rather selective with the verses they choose to interpret literally. Reverend Cornel West put it bluntly, "fundamentalists want to be fundamental about everything except, 'love thy neighbor.' "
Because Ham's claims are clearly unscientific (he denies radiometric dating, claims that the earth is 6,000 years old based on incomplete genealogies and argues that the flood explains tectonic shifts) we must call them what they are: quackery. H.L. Mencken noted that human progress, "tends to go too fast – that is, too fast for the great majority of comfortable and incurious men." Because of this, he worried that, "the average man, finding himself getting beyond his depth, instantly concludes that what lies beyond is simple nonsense." This attitude was on display throughout the debate, when Bill Nye would accept ambiguity and Ken Ham simply substituted ambiguity for absolute and uncompromising and entirely unfounded certainty.
Creationism is a fraud. It is like witchcraft, the 9/11 conspiracy theory or homeopathy; it is a closed system, one that reason cannot penetrate. Nye's decision to debate Ham and the decision to even air the debate was absurd. Bill Nye accepted the debate assuming he was debating about evolution; he was not. Rather he was debating a political issue. As Ken Ham has said elsewhere, "As the creation foundation is removed, we see the Godly institutions also start to collapse. On the other hand, as the evolution foundation remains firm, the structures built on that foundation–lawlessness, homosexuality, abortion, etc–logically increase. We must understand this connection." The Discovery Institute, which touts creationism with a different name (intelligent design) has espoused much the same opinions. Like all fundamentalist movements, they seek to explain all the world's ills from one source. Barbara Forrest writes, "The ID movement developed out of the rejection of evolution by people who believe that the moral ills of the modern world have been caused by Charles Darwin's revolutionary idea."

text: The Tigre Club stands on the banks of the Luján River, in Paseo Victorica, Tigre, near Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Club, built next to the Tigre Hotel (demolished in 1940), was financed by Ernesto Tornquist, and was designed by the architects Pablo Pater, Luis Dubois and the engineer Emilio Mitre (son of the former President of Argentina, Bartolomé Mitre), and was opened on 13 January 1912. Like the Hotel nearby opened in 1890, the Tigre Club soon became an important meeting place for the rich and famous. The elegant and luxurious building has two floors with mezzanines with large windows on almost all sides. The main saloon on the first floor has frescoes by the Spanish artist Julio Vila y Prades (1875-1930), the staircases are of marble and there are Venetian mirrors and French chandeliers.

Back in the Day Bakery
Many readers have asked us where we got our wedding cake in Savannah. The thing is, since our wedding was such a small and intimate event, we really didn't feel the need to order a huge wedding cake. We thought it made more sense to go with delicious cupcakes instead ~ placed on a 3-tier, vintage silver cake stand with delicate hanging crystals that I discovered (and immediately bought) while consignment shopping one day. We thought it fit so perfectly with the whole old-Savannah, simplistic wedding vibe we had going on.
Once we decided on cupcakes, we knew our next big step was to chose a bakery. Oh, shucks….time to go cake-tasting. :)
(2 happy campers on a 'cake-tasting' outing in 2010.)
During the many trips we took to Savannah, we must have tried, oh, I'd say about 4-5 of the top bakeries in town. You know, just to cover all our bases. (and perhaps because we were super picky and wanted to make sure we got the best of the best on our wedding day).
In the end, based on flavor & quality alone we went - hands down - with Back in the Day Bakery.
Little did we know, the owner was a very close friend of Paula Deen's!
Watch Paula Deen bake with 'Back in the Day Bakery' owner Cheryl Day on the Food Network.
Or click here to watch Cheryl whip up her famous Red Velvet cupcakes with Paula's sons, Bobby and Jaimie, on 'Road Tasted'.
(and yes, we had the red velvet cupcakes at our wedding!! how could we pass those up?)
Logan & I with bakery owner Cheryl Day.
When we walked in for our first sit-down meeting with Cheryl, she made us feel so at-home and special.
We just loved the inviting, throwback, shabby-chic vibe of her bakery!
(8 pics above from savannah.for91days.com; all others from my camera.)
After some cupcake-eating and lots of chatting with Cheryl, for the wedding we decided to go classic by choosing a combination of Red Velvet, Old Fashioned Vanilla (which reminded me so much of Magnolia Bakery's cupcakes in NYC) and Chocolate Heaven cupcakes. They were moist and sooooo delicious. We expressed to Cheryl that we wanted something traditional worked in….so she suggested adding a simple, small white wedding cake on the top tier of our cake stand - so we could have something to take home and cut on our 1st wedding anniversary (click here for a funny story about that!)
But here's the coolest, most unexpected part of the whole thing. During one of our meetings with Cheryl, she revealed to us that Paula Deen's niece was getting married on the same exact day we were: Saturday, November 6th, 2010…..in Savannah! Paula Deen had asked Cheryl to make their wedding cake and cupcakes - on the same day Cheryl would be making ours! How cool is that?
This also meant that Paula Deen would be in Savannah throughout our entire wedding weekend. Her niece's wedding was to be held at Paula's beautiful Savannah home (naturally…) but Paula was throwing her niece a small bridal shower on November 5th at Back in the Day Bakery.
So the day before our wedding, on November 5th, we walked into the bakery to grab some food, check on our wedding order….and stand a mere 10 feet away from the one & only Paula Deen!!!
My only regret is NOT asking to meet her. I bet she would have been happy to speak with us, being that our wedding day was the same exact day as her niece's - and that we chose to get married in her beloved hometown of Savannah and used the same baker. But, I didn't want to bother Paula during her niece's intimate bridal shower. My politeness got the best of me, so we - unfortunately - did not get any pictures with her.
But just being that close to her and sharing the same space - where our very own wedding cupcakes were being made - had me completely giddy. I was grinning from ear to ear. As you know, I'm a huge foodie and have been watching The Food Network for a long time. I've made plenty of Paula's recipes over the years and have even showcased a few on this blog (here or here). So the fact that this even happened blew me away and only added to the list of uncanny events and out-of-body experiences we had that weekend in Savannah. I mean, what are the odds?!
It was destiny, I tell you. Destiny. :)
Something magical was happening that weekend. It's as if all the stars were aligning, the Universe was conspiring, and the energy was so strong that all these awesome events kept occurring. It felt eerily meant-to-be. (read this post about Warren Square to see what I mean!).
As for our wedding cake and cupcakes, I think it's safe to say we were MORE than pleased with the results.
So, that's our cool story about our wedding bakery in Savannah. If you're ever in town visiting, you MUST stop by Back in the Day Bakery for some lunch and/or cupcakes.
Who knows, you might even run into Paula Deen while you're there.

More than thirty years ago, Chen Yifei , left Shanghai for New York. His first job was a portrait drawing artist for as little as 8 US Dollars. Look at now, any of his paintings easily worth well over ten million dollars, any of his drawings also worth a big fortune.
John Chen as an art student in the early 80's, had the impression of Chen Yifei being the most famous in Southern part of China, the best for his painting of female, while Shen Jia wei being the best for his painting of male, and the most famous in Northern part of China. He knew personally with Chen Yi fei , and met Shen Jiawei and as such an honor worked shoulder to shoulder with him for quite a few years.
Both Chen Yifei and Shen Jiawei were born in Shanghai. And then there was a little brother born in Shanghai as well, John Chen.

They say practice makes perfect
but none can be perfect
what then is the need of practice
if none can attain perfection?
Perfection is a state of the mind
achieved when ability beats work
but not overlooking the debris of leftovers
perfection is unattainable.
All work and no play
makes one think he is better than another
but perfection is still ahead of man
even after he falls down exhausted.
Man is imperfect
when he thinks he is perfect
for man can never be perfect
as long as God sees him imperfect.

Okay – I. Have. Been. Slacking….. There I said it.
Posted on August 21, 2011
So after a much needed break – I'm back!
First of all. I want to apologize to my peeps that have had sessions this year. Please forgive me for NOT blogging your fabulousness. That is, until now. hahaa… Love you!!
So what have I been up to lately, you ask? I recently came back from an extended trip to Arizona. Where I visited with my family and scoped out the areas I would like to live. Did I find something? Yes – BUT it's too pricey for the current market. BUT I am keeping my eye on it… Okay, then I kicked it there for a bit and decided to stay in Florida for another year. Honestly, this is the first year that I feel comfortable (sort to speak) in our new normal. So I think it is best for me and the girlies to stay put until next year. =) Hooray from all my FL peeps and BOO from all my AZ peeps. haha.. =)
Two of my three girls had birthdays – Big A, 4 and Little A, 1. It was a fun day with fun people to share it with. Big A is still as spunky as the day she arrived and Little A is a precious and just as spunky as Big A. …. Yes, I have a feeling I am IN for IT!
Big C. graduated from preschool (insert … aawwweeee and tear) and will be starting Kindergarten tomorrow (insert another aaaawwee and tear) hahaa. I REALLY cannot believe it. I will say that tomorrow will be a bitter-sweet day for me, but I know that she is going to have a blast! I'm uber excited that she and her friend selected the same teacher. I think they will have a great year.
So, I said the other day out loud, "Jesus! I am ready to go back to work. Not that I haven't been working (because I have done shoots and not that he doesn't already know that, right! haha) But I'm ready to get back in the groove." And a day later……. Bam! He blesses me with 4 shoots right off the bat. Thank you Jesus… he rocks. =)
You know, honestly… a lot has happened this year, but it's getting late and I can't remember it all at the moment. haha. So, I think I will end it on this note and maybe skim through some photos and post them for ya.
Watch out this week for more posts of some great sessions.

It's July 4 and I'm positive that everyone is going to be with family, friends or the combination of both for BBQs and fireworks! Yes, it's going to be a day of celebration for us all. But with all that aside we as a nation of grateful citizens need to remember those that sacrificed their lives to make sure that we can celebrate such a wonderful day. =)
So I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the military men and women who gave us our freedom from the beginning, to the present and in the future. We are forever grateful. =)
And a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to my Clint, LT "Dean" Wermers, I love you honie and I was and am still so proud of you! to have served beside you as your wife!!!! 'Til we meet again my love…..
So today I will leave you with this……..
(before you read below…..yes…I'm still writing thank you notes…… lol there were a lot! I am truly blessed and loved by many who I know and have never met)
A little something I wrote on a thank you note to a sister squadron in Mississippi, because it not only speaks to them, but to all of us military spouses… men and women.
"Please know that as a military spouse, you are more than just a spouse! You stand beside your loved one…… supporting them in what they love and in protecting our country. You are VERY important and never forget that! It was an honor to stand beside my hubby as his wife; for us and for our country. Stand tall, stand strong and know that God walks with you. Take care of yourselves and your family! Only few of us are lucky to be called a military spouse. =) God Bless you! "
Shannon Wermers
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: While The Hills is usually totally predictable due to the deluge of paparazzi photos / spoilers online, we totally did not expect Doug Reinhardt to be cock-blocked by Brody Jenner's mom. Best surprise plot twist ever!
As this episode of The Hills gets underway, Lauren Conrad packs for a trip to Italy. The reason for the trip is never explained. Nor does it matter.
Like five seconds after LC leaves, Stephanie Pratt arrives to tell Audrina Patridge about how Doug Reinhardt asked her out. Audrina suggests to Stephanie that she wait until Lauren gets back and just give her a little heads up.
Audrina and Lo - who are apparently getting along better these days - have lunch and Audrina her in about the Stephanie-Doug Reinhardt date sitch.
Lo is flabbergasted. Audrina says that's a no-no, then wonders aloud why Stephanie Pratt would want sloppy seconds. Audrina's words, not ours!
THE VOICE OF REASON: For once, it was Audrina Patridge talking sense into people (or at least trying to) on this typically drama-filled episode of MTV's The Hills.
That night at Goa, Audrina and Lo are chillin' when whaddaya know, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag arrive! Heidi says hi to Auds, who seems genuinely happy to see her. Lo, however, looks like she wants to stab herself in the eye with a fork.
Heidi, like, cannot believe about Doug Reinhardt and Stephanie Pratt either, then invites Audrina and Lo to a Bolthouse X-Games Party the next night. There they hang out with Justin-Bobby, who's looking like an even bigger d-bag than usual!

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a 2009 American action comedy film directed by Steve Carr and co-written by Kevin James, who stars as the title character, Paul Blart. Filming began in February 2008 with most of the shooting taking place at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, Massachusetts. The film opened in the United States on January 16, 2009, distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Despite receiving mostly mixed reviews, the film went on to become a box office success. Created on a relatively small budget of $26 million, it grossed $31.8 million in its opening weekend and finished with a domestic gross of more than $146 million. Its worldwide total exceeded $183 million.
A sequel, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is scheduled to be released on April 17, 2015.
Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a middle-aged, single dad who lives with his teenage daughter, Maya (Raini Rodriguez), and elderly mother, Margaret (Shirley Knight). Though he aspires to become a member of the New Jersey State Police, his hypoglycemic medical condition gives him a tendency to collapse and causes him to fail the entrance exam, and Blart has settled on a security guard position at the West Orange Pavilion Mall in West Orange, New Jersey. Taking his responsibility as a mall cop very seriously, he executes a strict, daily routine and patrols the mall riding on a Segway, an electric vehicle that requires good balance and control. On patrol one day, Blart notices a new kiosk in the mall and feels an instant attraction to its vendor, Amy Anderson (Jayma Mays), though he has a hard time finding the courage to speak to her. Meanwhile, Blart has been given the assignment of training a new rookie, Veck Simms (Keir O'Donnell), who does not show much interest in his newfound position as a mall security guard.
Blart eventually becomes acquainted with Amy, and one evening as he escorts her to her car, Amy invites him to join her and other mall employees at a restaurant later that evening. Blart gladly accepts. During the event, things initially go well, but Blart gets sidetracked when he decides to participate in a nacho-eating contest with an overweight friend, Leon (Jamal Mixon). The hot sauce is more than Blart can handle, and he begins chugging other customer's drinks nearby in an effort to console the pain. Many were alcoholic, and as a result, Blart gets excessively drunk and incoherent, crashes the party, and makes a wild exit by falling through a window. The behavior puts a damper on his relationship with Amy.
Two days later on the morning of Black Friday, an organized gang of criminals disguised as Santa's Little Helpers begin what appears to be a bank heist inside the mall. They take Amy and other customers in line hostage. Veck, the rookie security guard, is revealed as the gang's leader, apparently using the job to gain intelligence on the mall's security. It is discovered that his real plans go beyond robbing a bank: he plans to use credit card codes obtained from various stores around the mall to steal $30 million, while keeping the hostages as insurance for the gang's escape. The crew forces shoppers to exit the mall and strategically places motion sensors around each entrance to detect any attempt by law enforcement to enter the building.
Blart, who was playing a video game in a nearby electronics store, is oblivious to what has happened and walks back out in the mall completely unaware of the situation. He soon realizes, contacts police, and slips out of the mall to speak with Sergeant Howard (Adam Ferrara), the scene commander. However, Blart realizes Amy is still inside when he sees her car in the parking lot, and decides to go back in to rescue the hostages. A state SWAT team soon arrives and Commander James Kent (Bobby Cannavale), a former classmate and bully from Blart's high school years, takes control of the situation, ordering Blart to let them handle the situation. Blart refuses. Vastly outnumbered and physically outclassed, Blart takes a stand against Veck's crew using improvised measures. He discovers the credit card codes written in invisible ink on the robbers' arms and records them in his cell phone as he takes them down one by one. Maya, unaware of the situation, shows up at the mall on her way to bring Blart food. Veck's remaining henchmen seize Maya, adding her to the group of hostages.
After detaining all of Veck's underlings, Blart attempts to evacuate the hostages by pulling them up through an air vent. The plan fails when Leon cannot fit. Veck enters the room, capturing Blart and forcing him to give up the credit card codes. Veck then escapes, taking Amy and Maya with him at gunpoint. As policemen swarm the mall to apprehend the criminals and rescue the hostages, Blart steals a display minivan and joins Kent in pursuing Veck to the airport, where he is attempting to escape to the Cayman Islands.
After a brief scuffle, Blart overpowers Veck and puts him in handcuffs. Moments later, however, Commander Kent pulls his gun on Blart, revealing himself as Veck's accomplice. Kent demands the phone containing the codes from Blart, who refuses and responds by smashing the phone into the ground. Before Kent can retaliate by shooting Blart, Chief Brooks (Peter Gerety) of the mall security team arrives, shooting Kent in the arm. Kent and Veck are placed under arrest after police arrive shortly after, and Amy and Maya are returned safely. For his bravery and assistance, Sergeant Howard offers Blart a job with the New Jersey State Police. Blart is honored, but decides to decline the offer, opting to keep his mall security position. Following the credits, Blart and Amy are seen getting married in the mall.

Production began in late February 2008 in Boston.[4] Principal photography took place at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, Massachusetts after being denied a permit from Willowbrook Mall in Wayne, New Jersey. From late February until mid-April, the mall and its stores were decorated with Christmas decorations, and there was a large prop ball-pit in the main foyer of the mall near the Sears branch, and a Santa's Village at the opposite end near the Macy's branch where the mall usually puts its own Santa's Village. Interior filming took place mostly at night. Some of the aerial stunts, such as Blart being attacked in the scenic elevator, were performed at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, MA,[5] as the Burlington Mall's construction did not allow for some of these stunts.
Critical reception[edit]
Critics generally gave the film mixed reviews. Paul Blart: Mall Cop received a 33% "Rotten" rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 111 reviews.[6] Metacritic gave the film a low rating of 39 out of 100 based on 24 reviews from mainstream critics.[7] Though many critics panned the film, one notable exception was Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times, who gave a positive review of three stars out of four praising the film's "wholesome" comedy.[8]

The film stayed at number one in its second weekend, grossing another $21,623,182, dropping just 32%, and boosting the ten day income to $64,923,380.

Over the four day President's Day weekend, it made $13,574,027 for an average of $4,578, and bringing the 32-day cume to $112,388,524.[9] The film closed on Monday, May 25, 2009, with a final domestic gross of $146,336,178, with the three-day opening weekend making up 21.75% of the total gross (26.81% for the four day opening weekend).

Is Oprah's OWN Network Up for Sale After Al Jazeera Deal?
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Last week the media reported the sale of Al Gore's Current TV to Al Jazeera for an estimated $500 million.
Media analysts have assumed Al Jazeera didn't purchase Current TV for the network's brand recognition or programming. As a television network, Current TV was an abysmal failure averaging only 22,000 daily prime-time viewers. Instead, Current TV was acquired for its distribution network into 50 million households as a platform to launch a new broadcast channel called Al Jazeera America.
Following the Current TV/Al Jazeera deal, attention should turn to the OWN Network, a joint venture between Oprah's Harpo Productions and Discovery Communications (NASDAQ: DISCA).
Like Current TV, the OWN Network has struggled to gain a foothold in the television marketplace with lackluster ratings and growing losses since the channel was launched in January 2011. However, OWN has several valuable distribution deals through multiple cable providers such as Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) and AT&T (NYSE: T).
Given the recent sale of Current TV based entirely on distribution agreements, what's the value of OWN's distribution network and is a sale likely?
Back of the envelope valuation
The sale of Current TV for $500 million with distribution to 50 million household values each household at $10. Is this reasonable appraisal of channel subscribers?
For comparison, NBC Universal, a division of General Electric (NYSE: GE) and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), purchased Oxygen for $925 million in 2007. With 74 million subscribers, the deal valued each subscriber at roughly $12.
So $10-$12 per subscriber seems to be a good ballpark estimate of the value of OWN's distribution agreements.
With OWN available in 85 million households and assuming $10-$12 per subscriber, the network could be valued between $850 million to $1.02 billion based on distribution agreements alone.
Likelihood of a deal
Given that OWN is expected to lose $143m this year, the network's distribution agreements may be worth more than the channel itself. While Discovery Communications and Harpo Productions have remained publicly committed to the OWN Network, the venture has lost over $300 million. By selling the network, investors could immediately recoup their losses and earn a hefty profit on the deal. A sale may be an attractive option given that the OWN Network is still an estimated two years away from profitability.
Who would be interested in buying OWN?
Al Jazeera is the latest in the long line of foreign news networks that have been expanding aggressively into the United States including BBC, China's CCTV and Russia Today. These state sponsored networks may be less interested in profitability and more keen on gaining an American audience.
Why would a foreign news network purchase distribution rights rather than just negotiate with cable and satellite companies themselves? Such efforts are costly and time consuming. It's much easier to buy another network and acquire all of the distribution rights in a one shot deal.
Foolish bottom line
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the sale of Current TV is the value of hidden assets. Investors can spot opportunities by evaluating the assets on a company's balance sheet and determining if they'd be worth more to another entity if re-purposed. Such inquiries are the hallmark of great investors.

Hi I'm Kadhy , Paris <3 Enjoy your visit in my universe . West Indies 💜 Africa
Don't let the bastards get you down , fuck them ;)
I hope I can use that line one day
(Source : alphalewolf, via justineskye)
"I was asked to do a show with the emerging African nations. At that time, I was wearing me hair straightened. I wasn't comfortable in the woman's skin wearing that style of hair because I knew that they didn't wear their hair straightened in Africa. So, I went through rehearsals with the straightened hair but the night before the show, which was being done live, I went to a barbershop in Harlem called The Shalamar where Duke Ellington used to cut his hair.
I told the barber to cut my hair as close to my scalp as possible, then shampoo it so it could go back to its natural state. He then sat down. When he regained himself, he came back to me and said, 'Are you sure that's what you want?' I said, 'Yes.'
The next morning I go to the studio with my hair wrapped in a scarf. I go to makeup and costume. Then when the director said, 'Places.' I took the scarf off…You could hear a hair hit the floor. So finally he walked up to me and said, 'Cicely, you cut your hair…" I sheepishly held my down and shook my head. Then he said, 'You know, I wanted to ask you to do that but I didn't have the nerve. [smiles]
Then there was George C. Scott who asked my agent to send me in to meet with them for East Side/West Side. I said 'Well, what do I do about my hair?' They said, 'Your hair? Leave it that way.' And that is what created the natural hair craze. That show and my wearing it that way. I got letters from hair dressers all over the country telling me that I was affecting their business because their clients were having their hair cut off so they could wear it like the girl on television.
The cornrow in Sounder, I knew during that period that women in the South cornrowed the head. So, I said that [her character] Rebeca would wear her hair in that manner. But everytime I changed the hair it had not to do with me, it had to do with authenticating the character that I was playing."

Explains Bernie: "Mum wants the wall demolished to make the kitchen nicer; Dad insists it's impossible and unnecessary. I honestly don't know how my parents have managed to last 25 years together."

If you're over the age of, say, 12, and still expect people to fete your very existence every year, you should also expect to be disappointed. (Yes, I'm the Grinch of birthdays. And don't even get me started on "birthday weeks.")
That said, in this case our submitter actually did call her mother on the day of her birth. When Mom didn't pick up, quick-thinking daughter left her a message. After that, our submitter says, her mother didn't return her calls for several days — until phoning to say, "Check your e-mail." While still on the line, our submitter did just that — and found this lovely e-card.

Dave's eight-year-old daughter is a huge of the Beatles…and at this moment, a not-so-huge fan of her father.
Dave, perhaps in a few years she'll appreciate that, if nothing else, at least you spared her the unibrow gene?

When Shelby's third-grade son was having trouble with his homework assignment (two paragraphs of creative writing a day), her suggestion was to just write about what came to mind first. As she realized later when she found the page in a stack of old school work: "He did not hold back."

Writes Elizabeth in Massachusetts: "My dad has taken to mixing hummus and tabbouleh in a bowl and eating it like that, which some reason, drives my brother absolutely crazy. I looked in the fridge today and was not surprised at all to find this note, which my dad ignored."
Something tells me Elizabeth's brother might also have an opinion about whether toast can or cannot be refrigerated…and perhaps the appropriateness of Cinnamon Roll Casserole as a workplace snack.

Smells like good hairspray. Lots of freesia, little bit of musk. Thankfully, it fades to nothing after about 15 minutes. The bottle is gorgeous.
I went to Sephora recently to test Tocca's newest fragrance Simone, which is as lovely as a summer day (see my review). Not having had any previous experience with this line, I tested all the others as well.
I liked several well enough, but then came Stella. She and I hit it off immediately. But I did my due diligence and took a sample vial home to test how the scent might morph and what it's longevity would be like.
It has both a very fresh and a very warm quality at the same time, with a little bit of sweetness thrown in. The blood orange note lasts almost the duration of the scent itself, which is a good long time. It is never overpowering but just delicious through and through. I think this is a scent for day and night, for all seasons, and for any age group.
To me, it is not a common, ho-hum fragrance but unique and just beautiful each time a get a waft of it, which I am able to do for quite a long time after applying.
Gorgeous very classy bottles, too.
More reviews by beautyjunkie2012
This is my second Tocca fragrance and without a doubt this one is a major hit. I'm unable to fully describe the fragrance....all I know is that when I first smelled I knew it had to come home with me. It mends so well on my skin. And as the day goes on the fragrance notes stand out for good. Absolutely love this fragrance and its definitely become my signature scent.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I first learned of this fragrance when a sample was sent to me by Sephora. From the moment I smelled it, I felt like this was the perfume I had been waiting for. After using my trial I quickly purchased a full sized bottle. The blood orange notes hit quickly but the perfume soon develop into the floral notes, with the freesia being the strongest and most noticeable on me. It's the perfect mix of citrus and floral with a freshness that makes this perfume really appealing. It reminds me of a scent that evokes sunshine in the Mediterranean overlooking the water. It is quite powerful so one small spritz to my throat lasts all day and through the night.
I've made this my signature scent. The smell is wonderful and blossoms on my skin. It's warm and modern, and oh just smells so wonderful. I'm not sure how long it lasts because I might get used to the smell but I can smell it on my wrists even at the end of the day so I'm sure it lasts long. I haven't received any compliments on it.....but I do love the smell so much, as long as I enjoy it who cares? I'm sure others appreciate the smell as well.
Love at first sniff, and definitely my favorite of all the Toccas -- by far! I realize it's mostly a blood orange scent, but to me it greatly resembles Britney Spears Curious, which I've always loved (and which, strangely enough, contains quite different notes). Tocca Stella, however, is stronger and smells higher in quality than Curious.
Here are the notes, per parfumo.net:
Top Notes: Aquatic notes, Bitter orange, Blood orange
Heart Notes: Freesia, Lily, Orchid
Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood
Even though I'm wearing and enjoying it as I type this, I'm not able to describe the scent of Tocca Stella at all -- it's just sweet, delicious, and beautiful!
I have this in sample size from the 'Love Yourself' sampler set. I'm new to Tocca fragrances & wanted to test out as many as I could since there's a large variety. I'm pretty much loving all of them, each evoking a different feeling & perfect for different moods & occasions.
Wearing Stella today, I love how this fragrance is light & fresh....as most Toccas apparently are, but this is one of the lighter ones than the others....in the same soft, powdery vein as Violette rather than headier concoctions like Florence & Cleopatra.
I love how Stella dries down nicely spicy & peppery on me (plus a touch salty). In that way it reminds me of Celine Dion 'Belong,' my longtime drugstore favorite....but this one's more luxurious & complex. It's a gentle scent that surprisingly starts out innocent & then turns mischievous - nice feat! Wearing Stella makes me feel more strong, self-assured & professional, rather than the usual feminine, girlie or sexy effect of traditional floral scents. To me it evokes a spirit of independence, singularity & maturity or seriousness. It isn't overpowering, stays close to the skin, & the peppery note softens down earlier than expected into a more creamy floral layer that adds a touch more femininity than it started. How does Tocca accomplish this w/all their fragrances?
At this rate I won't be suprised if I eventually end up buying most (if not all) of the Tocca fragrances in full-size bottles (albeit slowly). They are all complex, develop beautifully in layers over time, & linger all day. If I don't wash it off @ the end of the day, I can still smell it clinging to my skin the next morning. Perfumes can linger in my clothes, but they never do on my skin. This is impressive.
This was the first Tocca fragrance I bought in the collection because I love the smell of orange blossoms or something with a beautiful citrus note to it. At first I liked it but then I leaned more towards Colette as it blended well with my chemistry. The one reason why I won't buy this one again is because of the first note that emerges from the bottle is very off-putting and reminds me of "old lady smell", best way I can describe it.
This is the first Tocca fragrance I've ever sniffed. I sprayed this on my wrist and instantly, I knew I wasn't going to like it. Though this is subtlety sweet, there is a note in this perfume that completely turns me off about it. At first spritz to me it has a masculine feel.
Keep in mind that I do not mind wearing mens cologne, but with this one it felt too over powering. This is a floral scent mixed with sweet musk. I read the reviews on this, and one reviewer mentioned that is almost identical to Britney Spears's first perfume "Curious". That's when everything clicked. I wore Curious in middle school, and I stopped wearing and this perfume reminds me why.
I'm not saying this perfume is horrid. But at my age, and the way I carry myself I just don't see myself pull this one off... On to the next.

More reviews by thefairestlady1012
One must truly adore citrus scents, most notably orange, to enjoy this perfume. And, Stella definitely imparts a pleasant orange scent that is graced with a backdrop of spicier notes and blossoms (mainly, you guessed it, orange blossoms) to round it out and make it more sophisticated, To me, this reminds me of a more elegant version of the now discontinued Orange Sapphire scent from Bath and Body Works, so if you liked, loved, or were curious to try this scent but never got around to it, I'd say this may definitely be a good substitute. While I liked both Orange Sapphire and this scent alike and was pleased to find that they really did take after one another in a lot of ways, I must confess, on me personally, citrus scents, especially orange do not smell as good on me as they do in the air or on someone else, so this fragrance was not the most ideal fit for me to purchase in full (have a sample size in a collection of all the Tocca fragrances), though it would be nice to have in a rotation of scents for a pleasant change-up every once in awhile. And, if you love orange scents or even a good spicy one this may be a good one to try especially in summer and early fall, I think, but for me, I would not repurchase. but I do recommend.

Who has Deasy's ear?
Is it the parents, teachers and health and human services professionals
who are in schools every day . . . or is it his billionaire businessmen mentors?
Time and again, Superintendent Deasy makes decisions that short-change students for the benefit of his private agenda. That agenda is in lock-step with the national "corporate reform" movement (over-reliance on high-stakes tests, linking pay to unreliable test score formulations, blaming teacher seniority for management failures).
That's why so many corporate reform billionaires across the country contributed to the recent School Board campaigns.
When Deasy makes decisions that leave parents and educators out of the loop, it hurts our schools. Under Deasy's leadership, LAUSD has:
- Significantly reduced Title I and other categorical allocations to schools for 2012-13.The money was taken from school sites—where it could be used to provide resources and learning opportunities for students—and diverted to Deasy's own priorities, like the test-score-driven Teaching and Learning Framework.
- Ignored School Board directives that would have lowered counselor-student ratios, fully staffed health education classes, and brought more health and human services professionals into schools.
- Continued to divert millions of dollars in cafeteria funds meant to provide meals to poor students to pay other school expenses, according to a 2013 report by the California Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes. LAUSD now has to repay more than $150 million to meal programs.
- Prioritized spending on "talent management" personnel, short-timers like a "social media director," and PR-motivated efforts like a computer tablet for every student instead of restoring school positions and programs.
What do YOU think of Deasy's performance?
Between April 2-10, UTLA will be conducting an all-member vote at school sites on Deasy's leadership.
Be sure to vote and let your voice be heard.
Have your own examples of how Deasy's decisions have hurt our schools?
Send them to email@example.com.
Update: Teacher Evaluation Ratification Agreement

Amber Valley - News
Branch News
2014 Beer Festival
This year's Beer Festival is only weeks away so we are busy finalising the arrangments. Full details are on our dedicated website at: ambervalleycamra.org.uk. We look forward to welcoming you in our new venue.
Amber Valley CAMRA AGM
The Amber Valley CAMRA AGM took place on Thursday February 27th 2014 at the Hunters Arms, Kilburn.
A new committee has been formed and we would like to express our thanks to the outgoing members Trevor Spencer and Nigel Heathcote for their contribution and service. Both members are still heavily involved in the preparations for our beer festival.
The new committee is as follows:
Branch Chairman: Chris Rogers
Branch Secretary: Nora Harper
Membership Secretary: Steve Cook
Treasurer: Position Vacant
Social Secretary: Jane Wallis
Pubs and Clubs Officer: Position Vacant
Webmaster: Phil Marshall
We are still looking for a Pubs and Clubs Officer. For more information or to apply for this position please contact Phil Marshall on 07828 19 77 95 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. In the interim period the members of the What Pub team will continue to update the database.
Pub of the Year Voting
The results were announced at the AGM earlier this year and are as follows:
Pub of the Year: Black Bulls Head, Openwoodgate
Runners Up: Holly Bush, Makeney
Congratulations to both opf the pubs on their awards and to the other 6 pubs for what was a very competitive year. Presentations are on Saturday 5th April, please see branch diary for more details.
National Beer Scoring Survey (NBSS)
We have received an e-mail reminder from HQ about the revision to the scoring system and to remind members of the purpose of it. Part of our remit is that we encourage all our members to play an active role in scoring as ultimately the end result is the selection of pubs for the CAMRA Good Beer Guide that serve the best kept real ales.
In our area there are a number of pubs that get very few scores despite a lot of them being popular with real ale drinkers. It is important that members participate in scoring on a regular basis and ensure scores are entered periodically so we can track progress.
I know there have been a few issues since the updated version of the scoring system was released and more recently when What Pub was launched to members. Most of these issues have now been resolved but if you are still struggling with the online system then hopefully the following guidance will help you.
The best way to search for a pub using the What Pub site is to:
- Put in the pub name followed by a space and then the town, village or city it is located in
- If that doesn't work then try typing in the town, village or city and then selecting the pub from the results shown
- If that fails then try the map search to pinpoint the pub using Google Maps
Once you have selected your pub then enter the score, brewery, beer and any other fields and click submit score. If you cannot find the brewery or beer from the dropdown lists then just enter the details manually.
The website for entering scores is still at www.beerscoring.org.uk which will direct you to new version which uses What Pub.
The new scoring system is below, the change being the zero score which now means no real ale available.
0 No real ale - No cask-conditioned ale available
1 Poor - Beer that is anything from barely drinkable to drinkable with considerable resentment.
2 Average - Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn't inspire in any way, not worth moving to another pub but you drink the beer without really noticing.
3 Good - Good beer in good form. You may cancel plans to move to the next pub. You want to stay for another pint and may seek out the beer again.
4 Very Good - Excellent beer in excellent condition.
5 Perfect - Probably the best you are ever likely to find. A seasoned drinker will award this score very rarely.
Please also remember the following:
- Using the above scoring system 2 is an average score and not 3
- You can score in halves for beers that are somewhere in between i.e. A beer that is in better than average condition but not quite deserving of a good rating can be scored a 2.5
- The score of 5 is absolute perfection and so should only be given on very rare occasions if, some might argue, at all.

WEST ALLIS, WI (WTAQ) - A former "Jeopardy" champion from Wisconsin will compete in a tournament that features the top players from the 30 years that Alex Trebek has been the host.
Viewers chose Michael Falk of West Allis to be among 45 players in "Jeopardy's Battle of the Decades."
Fifteen players from each of the current show's three decades will starting squaring off later this month. The contest will be televised this spring.
Falk won $310,000 during eight appearances on "Jeopardy" in 2006. He won $60,000 in his original run, and another quarter-million in the 2006 "Tournament of Champions."
Falk is now a math teacher at St. Mary's Visitation School in Elm Grove. Naturally, he's the coach of the school's quiz bowl team.
He tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the "Jeopardy" winnings helped him change jobs, buy a house, and have a son.

TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox
It would take an unprecedented haul to acquire Stanton. The Phillies are asking but are not likely to be a good match. In on Stanton? Probably just "tire kicking" Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wrote today that the Phillies are among a pool of teams, including the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, and Orioles, who have called the Marlins about Giancarlo Stanton. I'm not sure there has ever been such a remarkably talented player at Stanton's age to possibly be on the block ever. With that said, it would take such an unprecedented haul to acquire Stanton right now that I'm not sure any of the teams listed have the pieces to provide market value to the Fish. I definitely see this as a "due diligence" move, particularly when the Cubs, who have one of the least-deep systems in baseball, have started kicking the tires. Cafardo also wrote that the Red Sox are getting deeper in negotiations with Nick Swisher, a potential Phillies target. A Madson Return to Philly Unlikely Jim Salisbury of Comca...

How it Happened and What it Was Like to Spend Two Hours with Steve Wozniak, Founder of Apple

As you might have noticed, I like to interview people. Really important people. I literally made myself a list of individuals that I would one day, somehow, hope to have the privilege to interview. Some of them were a little out there. You know, people like the actress Alyssa Milano (remember Who's the Boss? Good times.), Om Malik, the father of tech journalism, and even Steve Wozniak who founded this small company called Apple with his buddy Steve Jobs in their garage. I set myself some pretty high goals and so far, so good.
