Curated by Kevin Appel & Juli Carson
Oct 11, 2014 to Dec 13, 2014
Reception: Saturday, October 11, 2014 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm
The University Art Galleries (UAG) will mount a solo exhibition of paintings by Ed Moses, utilizing all three galleries and featuring works from the 1960s to the present. Cross-Section will trace the common thematic thread binding Moses's prolific and continuous act of exploration. In so doing, the philosophical continuity of the artist's disparate visual strategies will be framed, strategies the artist has repeated and contradicted, as his investigation into the painted form has changed direction or reversed course over the past five decades. The curatorial perspective, in turn, will provide a rhizomatic framework to Moses's oeuvre – a genealogy of these strategies – in place of the conventional, chronological account typically used by institutions to situate an artist's work within historical movements alone.

Davie, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Dolphins and assistant general manager Brian Gaine have mutually agreed to part ways.
Gaine was among the candidates for the general manager vacancy, which was filled Sunday by Dennis Hickey.
The Dolphins needed a new GM after Jeff Ireland left the team earlier this month in a mutual agreement.
Gaine spent the past six seasons with the Dolphins, including the last two as assistant GM. He oversaw the player personnel department and previously was the director of pro scouting.
Before joining the Dolphins, Gaine also worked for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets.

Bitter Congratulations1 Reviews
The last night Jocelin is in town.
[title]Bitter Congratulations[/title]
My last week in Calgary seemed to last forever, the snow had just all melted after a much needed chinook came our way. I decided to get off the c-train a few stops early and walk the rest of the way home, luckily it was the nice part of downtown. I loved the city at dusk, it really was beautiful, people were on their way from home so the streets grew busy.
I allowed all the bustling to sink in it almost all sounded like music to me, I turned the last corner onto a replica of a cobblestone street. I loved the small spot I came across whilst in search for a permanent place to live, just on the edge of down town before the river. It was a small street of lofts--the exterior looked like a small townhouse in europe. I was really thrilled about my trip to Paris--but the fun would be zapped because of the meetings and of course Carl.
I made my way up the stone steps to my doorway and fiddled with my keys--I set down my portfolio beside me. Somedays work gave me quite the amount of things to carry and the amount of the people on the c-train would not be forgiving. I stumbled into my place and flipped on the light switch.
Tonight being the last day before my venture I had decided to have a nice quiet dinner at home, I would stop by the store a block over and buy some wine along with a few other goodies, maybe even rent a movie. I kicked off my heels, my feet seemed to become immune to the pain.
I glided up my staircase to the main level and decided to take a quick peak at what movies would be on pay per view. I settled into my cushy brown couch and put my feet up on my coffee table. I let out a sigh as I flipped through the channels. Suddenly my sweet little reverie was interrupted by my cellphone ring tone which now was changed to a classic Nat King Cole song I loved: The Very Thought of You. I glanced at it enjoying the tune then realized I should pick it up before the person hung up.
"Hello?" I said half heartedly as I flipped through some more channels, there was nothing on but the random stupid comedy, and the cheesy romance.
"Hey Joce, it's Lauren." she sounded happy, I hoped she wasn't calling to give me a lecture before I went on my trip. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight?"
I was surprised at her suggestion, "Tonight?" I was unsure--a night alone almost sounded nice. "What did you want to do exactly?"
"Well I thought seeing its your last night town that you Nathan and I could go for a nice dinner and then for drinks?" she sounded almost excited, I didn't reply right away letting it mull over my head, "Oh come on Joce--we haven't even celebrated your promotion yet, it'll be on us!"
"Okay," I said trying to sound wishy-washy, when really I was thrilled to have a free dinner. "Can we please get Italian?" It had always been my absolute favourite and I was craving some starch.
"Way ahead of you, Nathan picked out this nice little place." Lauren noted the location which was in almost walking distance of my loft and I wondered how I had never even heard of it. Nathan was always keen on noticing these things, I would miss him and Lauren when I go on my trip--even though it wouldn't be fore long. "And you might be also curious of this little tidbit..." I dropped the remote onto the cushion beside me.
"Hm?" I said not really caring what gossip she had for me this time. I was not really one to follow the whole office scandals.
"Actually I'm going to conference him in, maybe he'll expand." a look of confusion appeared on my face, as I heard a click, Lauren was obviously dialing the other number. I was now curious at what she had to be referring to.
"Hello?" a familiar male voice on the other end sounded. It was Nathan, I narrowed my eyes--what was she getting at.
"Hey Nathan, its Lauren and of course Jocelin's here too--say hi." I groaned at her childish antics.
"Hi," I grumbled I now shut off the tv and gave all my attention to the conversation.
"Joce has agreed to go for dinner," Lauren said happily, Nathan allowed a small oh escape his lips as she continued, "I was actually about to tell her about your new lady friend!" she giggled, it sounded like Nathan was fumbling with the phone.
"Lauren, would you stop it." he said plainly, I only sat and listened not opening my mouth once.
"Stop what?" she quipped innocently, "She is coming to dinner isn't she?" My eyes perked up--Nathan had a date?
"Well yes--but she's just a friend..." Nathan trailed off. I was utterly surprised that Nathan hadn't told me before. Usually I would be the first to know.
"Oh? Who is she?" I tried to act interested, when really I could care less--it only made me feel even more cruddy about not having dated someone in almost a year now. I could hear Nathan cough, I didn't think he'd answer me.
"She's from the print studio across the street!" Lauren exclaimed she had great joy in all of this, I was only happy that she had stopped trying to set Nathan and I up. She always had ideas about how we belonged together. But really Nathan was more of a brother to me than anything else.
"I met her the morning I came to pick you up at the coffee shop." Nathan merely mumbled. I wondered why he was so ashamed to admit he actually was interested in someone. He hadn't dated even longer than I had.
"Well I'll look forward to meeting her tonight!" I said trying to be supportive. We agreed on a meeting place--I decided to walk, I had an hour to get ready.
"Wear something decent Joce, I'm bringing a guy friend of mine Mark." I rolled my eyes, did everyone have a date except me, tonight would be interesting to say the least.
- - - -
I settled to wear a black dress I owned it was fairly conservative with thick straps and not a very low back, it glided down to my knees. I wore a red camisole over top because it grew a bit chilly as I walked down the sidewalk to the small restaurant. I could hear heart-filled laughter and classical music being played in the distance.
As I turned the corner a warm light emitted from the small but beautiful restaurant. I saw Lauren and Nathan standing in the lobby talking, Lauren was wearing one of her odd but nice purple dresses, and a black shawl. Nathan basically towering over her was wearing a nice deep maroon dress shirt, his hands were in his pockets. I smiled, I was happy my friends had even cared I was leaving.
"Jocelin, you found the place!" Lauren said happily embracing me in a hug she whispered to me, "Mark's the one beside Nathan." she winked at me as she let go at me I smiled as she pulled me towards their meeting.
"Great you could make it Joce," Nathan said with a meek smile, he looked uneasy. He was probably nervous for his so called date. The man beside him was a little bit shorter than Nathan and had mid length black hair some of which that hung in his face, he was more lean than Nathan as well. His smile was almost infectious, small dimples appeared on his cheeks.
"Nice to meet you," he said offering me a hand which I shook happily, "And congratulations!" I shot a look at Lauren who shrugged her shoulders.
"Thank you," I said smiling, "Mark is it?" He nodded, my thoughts were interrupted by a small brunette woman behind me.
"Nathan? Sorry to interrupt!" the woman wore a very fashionable red dress that eventuated her perfect figure in all the right places. Her makeup and hair had been done almost flawlessly against her almond colour skin. I already didn't like her, there had to be some flaw.
"It's alright April," Nathan said smiling and he offered her his arm, "This is April," he said to us, she merely smiled as we went around again introducing each-other and shaking hands.
"Shall we?" Lauren suggested after a moment of silence began, we made our way into the restaurant itself where a waitress led us to a nice large round booth. The restaurant was spectacular at the least, it had the feel of a villa in Italy.
"How'd you find this place?" I said to Nathan, we both trailed behind the group. I looked up to him, he almost seemed embarrassed to admit.
"Ah, I just found it one day and thought we might try it out..." He stammered a little, his answer almost sounded made up--but I let it go, tonight would be great. "You look really nice." He said as he allowed me to sit in the booth. I was sat in-between Mark and Lauren. I thought that they were supposed to be on a date.
Much to my surprise I wasn't allowed to order Nathan had done the liberty of ordering a nice rounded meal for everyone to share. That was another one of Nathan's great talents, he was an expert at ordering food that was the most delicious. It was actually how I fell in love with italian food.
The waitress interrupted our small talk with some wine Nathan had selected from Italy itself, he talked of how it had a great reputation. Mark agreed, and also voiced his love of red wine. He took the bottle gleefully and poured everyone a glass rather swiftly. I looked over to Lauren who mouthed 'Isn't he fabulous!?' I merely laughed under my breath.
"A toast to Jocelin!" Lauren said raising her glass, the others followed I blushed at the attention.
"May this promotion take you to wonderful places." Nathan added with a small smile we all clanked glasses. I took a sip and a large 'mm' burst through my lips.
"Nathan this wine is amazing!" I normally was not quite fond of wine except for on occasion. He merely smiled, Mark turned to me.
"This was a fine choice..." He lifted the glass up to his nose and swirled it taking in the scent, "You can just tell by the smell," he held it up to my nose so I could smell. I nodded my head. "You should come out with me to europe one day, my grandparents own a winery." I declined respectfully going on about how I would never get time off work, he continued to tell me I should think about it.
I received a nudge from Lauren, "I brought him for you," she whispered, I looked at her with a glare, "I thought seeing Nathan was hooking up you should have at least someone to make him jealous..." she looked over to him who seemed to be half listening to April talk about work. "It seems to be working."
I huffed at the thought of trying to make him jealous. Nathan could care less about my love life--unless of course he could see they were a total jerk. As I had always thought he was like a brother. On the other hand I couldn't help but be a little jealous of April--she seemed so flawless. Its not that I wanted to be with Nathan, but I always felt like he deserved someone like her, and I know I'd never be like that. Lauren was always surprised at my rejection of him as a love interest because he was top notch.
"So Jocelin, you must be thrilled to be going to Paris tomorrow." April chirped sipping her wine daintily. She smiled brightly at me, it almost made me feel sick.
"Yes," I said fidgeting in my seat, I began to be become quite uncomfortable. "Although I'm sure my boss will have a hand in dampening the mystical moments of it." Everyone let out a small laugh, "But excuse me I have to use the ladies room..." I made my way out of there as soon as possible. My chest felt congested as I forced the ladies room door open.
Truth was I wasn't really exactly thrilled about all of this. I placed my hands on either side of the sink and looked at myself in the mirror. I felt so fake, this didn't feel like me. I'm not a woman who enjoys wine and loves t have my job run my life. I wasn't even a person who dressed this way, or liked working until late hours in the night.
The truth was, I was someone who didn't like to settle down, that wanted to travel and be spontaneous. I didn't want my life to be laid before me. My parents had thrown me into this loop. They had pressed me to go to a college that would get me a fitting degree in where I would get good money for my art.
I hated the relationship between those two aspects of my life. I splashed some water on my face, allowing my makeup to fall down my face. I never used to wear makeup, but my job demanded a certain appearance. I hated the woman I had become, it felt unnatural. This trip was going to be a nice experience, but it was the resounding end of my social life. I would no longer be able to take long walks, but have to be in the office always, and when I do travel it will be to meetings with none other than Carl.
I wiped away the water and the makeup that stained my face to show a blank canvas. I gazed at myself, this is the girl I used to be, humble with who she was. Not someone who sold her personal being for a job. I wished that this trip would give me a way to escape my life, if I had my way I'd run off and travel europe. I would write the novel I've always wanted to, the idea ran in my head vividly.
My thoughts were cut off by Lauren who knocked on the door. "You okay in there?" she said, I opened the door and faced her.
"Fine, something just didn't agree with my stomach." I smiled meekly at her, she didn't seem convinced but she wasn't going to cause an issue. Knowing I was a little stressed she sat between Mark and I so I would get the end seat.
I covered up my discomfort for the rest of the night and decided to enjoy my last night of freedom and laughs. Mark had seemed rather interested in me, but he wasn't really my type, and with my new promotion I would definitely not have time. Writing him off romantically I tried my best to be nice but not misleading to him.
We enjoyed a large meal that filled me up in no time, in which I thanked everyone for making it such a nice night. By the end Nathan even seemed to be warming up to April more, they really did meld well. I still couldn't pin point what I found wrong with her. I just didn't trust her.
Everyone departed their ways and I was left with Nathan and Lauren who walked me home. Lauren gave me a quick hug and a small kiss on my cheek and wished me luck and told me to call her the first night I was there and tell her about everything. She hopped in a cab and left me with Nathan, he had parked a block away.
"You really liked the restaurant?" he laughed, as I nodded several times, I hit his arm lightly.
"Of course I did, you knew I would I'm sure, you only introduced me to my love of Italian food!" a broad smile appeared on his lips as we walked up my steps.
"Well I am an expert at ordering food." he said smartly as he stuck his hands in his pockets, he rocked on his heels, "Are you doing okay? You seemed uneasy tonight." I looked at him with an odd expression upon my face.
"Oh no don't be silly," I said fiddling with my keys, "My stomach was bothering me thats all." I stuck my key in the door and turned it, "Thanks for walking me home." I said with a smile.
"No problem, do you leave early tomorrow?" he questioned as I opened my door, he looked at me as I stood on the foyer, my eyes were now at his height.
"Yeah, but I really won't be able to sleep anyway." I looked at him with curiosity, "Do you want to come in for tea, and maybe a corny movie?" I suggested. It was a friday night and we both didn't have work tomorrow.
"Sure," he said happily stepping inside onto the foyer towering over me once again. I was glad he stayed, I didn't really want to be alone tonight. "If you want, I'll stay over and I can drive you to the airport." I thanked him and kicked off my heels again. I loved our friendship I didn't feel like I had put on an act.
He sat on the couch, as I made my way to my open kitchen I set some of the tea bags on the island and retrieved my cute teapot that I loved to pieces.
"What do you feel like Nathan?" I questioned raising an eyebrow, "Something minty, lemony, or earl grey?" he loosened up his tie, I don't even know why I bothered asking he always had earl grey. He gave me a knowing look. "Right." I said throwing some water in a kettle on the stove.
I picked up the tv remote and passed it to him, "Can you find a movie on paper view?" I said as I made my way down the hallway to my bedroom.
"What are you in the mood for?" he called after me.
"Anything but a scary movie!" I returned as I closed my door. I never could sit through one of those without a pillow to burry my head in. I threw off my dress and snatched my white tank top and favourite sweats, my worn slippers were placed on my feet and I tied up my hair in a loose pony tail. I returned to the living room to hear a movie producer's famous song.
I retrieved the water placed the tea bags in the tea pot. Grabbing two cups I made my way to the couch. "So what did you choose?" I said pouring him his favourite tea.
"It's a surprise" he said cheekily nodding a thank-you to me as he took his cup. I looked at him slightly confused and allowed the movie to start up. I was floored when I saw the opening credits.
"The Adventures of Robin Hood?!" I said excitedly nearly spilling my tea, he only laughed at me. Nathan and I always loved cheesy old movies, and this always made us laugh since highschool, I hadn't seen it years.
"I thought you might like it." He said talking a gulp of tea. I smiled at him and nestled into the corner of my couch. I would casually glance over at him he didn't seem to be paying attention to the movie much. Although we had seen it probably a hundred times.
"So April seems really great," I said trying to figure out what was irking him. I hated lying to him about her but maybe it'd give me an idea of what's on his mind. "You are dating her right?" I said as he looked my way.
"I suppose," he said quietly, he almost seemed like he didn't want to, I wondered why he would lead her on other wise.
"You suppose?" I blurted out, taking a gulp of my tea then setting it down. "Lauren seemed to think a lot differently, you must have said something to make her believe so." I looked at him not amused, Nathan would not get this past me.
"Lauren always takes things farther than she should." he said simply. He returned his attention to the television. I would not let him ignore this.
"So you don't like her?" I wondered how he could think otherwise, "She's intelligent and really pretty, she has a lot going for her." I said with almost a bitter tone my jealously sparked again. "How could you not?"
"Well if you seem so taken with her maybe I will date her." he said almost grouchy. I had never really involved myself in his love life as of yet. Then it hit me that he hadn't asked her out yet.
"Oh well--" I said fumbling over my words, "I didn't mean you have to or anything, I just thought you did and you were leading her on." I scoffed, "Besides, I think there's something off about her." He cocked and eyebrow at me.
"Oh?" he was now curious as to what my insight was on April. "And what's wrong with her?" I nearly gulped I didn't want to have to say this.
"Well--" I said unsteadily, his eyes were fixed on me, I got up to break the look and snatched his cup and mine. "She seems so perfect..." I continued moving closer to the sink. I did not hear him stand up behind and me and follow me. I refused to turn around and face him. "You know, like one of those fake people that try to hide their flaws..." I placed the cups in the sink and ran some water. "You never know what that could be, she could be really clingy, or actually a real bitch." I scrubbed away at the cups.
"Since when were you interested in my well being with women?" he said dangerously close it spooked me and I turned around to have him inches away from me. My eyes shifted I was confused by his actions I had never seen him like this before.
"Well I don't want you to get hurt." I stammered, I made my stance strong trying not show I was scared by his recent act of boldness. "I am your best friend aren't--" I was cut off by his lips against mine, my eyes stayed open in pure sup-rise, I then let myself go for a second and closed my eyes and kissed him back. My mind then set off an alarm and shoved him away and wiped my lips. He gave me a sad look.
"What are you doing!?" I yelled, looking at him with hurt eyes, I couldn't understand why he was doing this. He stepped closer to me trying to gaze into my eyes further but I looked away from him.
"I--" he pulled some of the hair that fell into my face, he almost whispered, "You're different that April..." I turned to him with a look of annoyance, did he think I was someone he could just turn to when he needed that type of attention. "You're Jocelin." He said with a smile, I moved away from him his smile turned to a sad look once again.
"I don't even understand you!" I barked throwing other things into the sink, he stepped back and watched me intently, "You go out of your way to get this nice dinner together to wish me off, and then you invite this April girl." I almost spat her name as I paced back in forth. "And then you come in here and try to be totally charming and invade on my life!" He merely laughed at me at which I glared at him.
"I'm charming?" he said happily, I smacked his arm and continued to run some water and scrubbed away.
"Nathan I am leaving tomorrow and then I have to come back to a lot of work, and I do not have time for this, I don't have time for you..." I said coming up with excuses. I was infuriated, I could feel the heat in my cheeks I felt him come up behind me again.
"Why are you so angry with me?" He said into my ear, I wanted to turn around and slap him. "We can make it work..." he said pulling some of the hair from my neck and placing a soft kiss there I turned around sharply and moved away.
"You're not thinking straight!" I said to him angrily, he must have been drinking, I could smell the wine on his breath. "And I am not going to have our lives and our jobs screwed up just because you drank too much!" I threw the dish towel the ground he looked at me with anger now.
"What are you so afraid of!" he said frustrated he paced towards me, "I have been by your side for almost 10 years now." he searched my eyes for a sign of sympathy, "I've never wanted anything more than this." I couldn't believe what he was saying, why the hell did he have to leave it this long and do it at the worst point my life.
"If you said this before we started working together it may have been a different story." I said bitterly. "We would never work."
"Before we started working together?" he scoffed, "That's rich--I've seen you date jerk after jerk, and I always wondered why you could never see me that way." he looked at me now distressed.
"Why did you have to do it now!" I almost whined, "It's the worst time ever!" I felt like a child who wanted everything to be perfect.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't ask to get it fit into your schedule," he spat, "But things like this only come around once, and they don't wait for the most opportune time." he searched my eyes again. "I love you." he said plainly.
"I think you should leave..." I said quietly looking down at the ground. I looked up as he brushed by me silently, he tightened his tie and made his way down the stairs, slipping on his shoes he went for the door he turned around.
"Have a nice trip." he said quietly before walking outside and closing the door before him.
As I heard his footsteps disappear I let my body slam against the island as I slid down in a fury of tears. I sat on the floor crying my eyes out until the sun rose.

Real ethics is prescriptive, not descriptive.
As I explain in my video on "The Abolition of Man" instinct cannot provide any foundation for ethics as everything we say about instinct is descriptive not prescriptive. It discusses only what we actually do, not what we ought to do and ethics is the question of what we ought to do. http://youtu.be/Z60lncsXQrE?t=2m52s

"Beware" is still short for "You should beware.'
To try to get rid of all moral judgements is inhuman.
Generally speaking, domination or in other words, lack of respect for people's free agency is wrong. Calling it wrong isn't dominating others. Moral judgements are an essential part of clear thinking.

"We ordered these for my daughter's 4th birthday. They matched the invites we ordered. I used them on the party favors and they looked amazing!! Since it was an elephant theme the party favors were marshmallow peanuts in little clear boxes with these stickers on the front. They looked adorable. We got comments from everyone! Tiny Prints shipped these super fast, the shipping was not costly like most places, and the final product looked great! We love Tiny Prints!"

With a little creative intution I re-designed the lettering and used a deeper brown to make my business logo "POP" I wanted a "WOW FACTOR" when people touched my product and we all know that image is everything!! Much to my surprise when the product arrived I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the product far surpasses it's price!! This is where quality meets affordability. The first thing my customers notice is the labeling before the product!! If I stated every person's praises I would be here all night!! With a little imagination this product could be used for just about anything!!"

Album review: Wanda Jackson and Jack White party on
Wanda Jackson
The Party Ain't Over
Third Man
For her latest album, The Party Ain't Over, Wanda Jackson, the first lady or queen of rockabilly (depending on who you ask), sets out to push her work into the 21st century. To that end, she's enlisted the help of Jack White. White proves a nice complement to Jackson and introduces some much needed rough edges to what could have been an overly polished collection of standard rockabilly fare.
"Shakin' All Over" wallows in a reverb heavy groove of sulky enjoyment, capturing with a sharper precision than even the original the thrilling pulse of romantic and erotic excitement. Jackson is credited with bringing a sexier image to the country scene of the '50s and she certainly retains the ability to communicate an appealing sexual charge despite her later forays into the more sedate and chaste world of gospel (musically and ideologically speaking). The main source of this pull is an unnervingly innocent purr which still sounds clear and fresh despite a fair amount of vocal mileage.
For proof, look no further than her version of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm no Good." Although it would be a bit of a stretch to say she improves upon the original, Jackson does seem to come into her own within the salty framework provided by Winehouse's bruised lyrics and irresistible beats. White rightly pushes Jackson towards the sort of soul revival pop perfected by Winehouse, which provides a newer ground for Jackson to roam around, stretching her rockabilly sensibilities. The album slumps slightly in the back half when the numbers hew perhaps too closely to straightforward, though always well-executed covers.
The best moments of The Party Ain't Over come when Jackson, with the guiding hand of White, really digs into her signature sound and lets her voice reach down into scratchy depths, then pulling back with just the right amount of sweetness. It's a heady mix and works surprisingly well on everything from Bob Dylan to Elvis retreads. White's biggest accomplishment is amplifying and clarifying the essential Wanda Jacksoness.
Ultimately, The Party Ain't Over encapsulates the various incarnations of Jackson's career past and present. She covers everything from gospel and soul to, of course, her signature mix of rock & roll and country & western classics. Through it all Jackson sustains her inimitable musical persona of feisty playfulness found at the core of rockabilly. Hopefully the party won't be over anytime soon.
Wanda Jackson performs in St. Louis at the Blueberry Hill Duck Room on March 27.

A few years back, I wrote during the height of the PC/Mac wars that technology use would become a civil rights issue. People laughed at me. Now take a look at this:—-TBH
Holding up cell phones, tablets, and video cameras, students spelled out to listeners in the packed conference room a message loud and clear: We demand access to the same technology that privileged students have in order to survive in the working world, to compete in any meaningful way, and to amplify our voices.
Students from the five schools who comprised Black Male Academy and Council on Youth Research, and who had raised the funds to get themselves from Los Angeles to the conference on Kickstarter, presented research they'd gathered at their own schools about the impact of technology (or lack thereof) on their learning.
"We're going to use technology to start a revolution, to improve our lives, and the lives of the upcoming generations, to get our voices heard," said a Morningside High student.

But don't worry, graphics aren't that hard once you get a few basic things down.
Also, I noticed last term that I tend to have more lessons at the beginning of a term than the other mentors. Everyone catches up though, it's just when I think, I am personally a multi-tasker, so tutorials may be posted a bit faster or slower, depending on how fast we progress on the subject.
Alright, so enjoy. Tutorials are soon to be posted. Well, they are more for refreshers, or for beginning techniques, kind of like when you go over multiplacation tables before school starts.

Jon and Kate Plus Pop Quizzes?!
It doesn't matter that Kate Gosselin has already penned two parenting books: A judge has ordered that she and Jon take a mandatory parenting class. (But not together .... Whew!)
The parenting class is called "Children in the Middle," and it's required for all moms and dads who are in the middle of custody battles in Berks County, Pennsylvania (which the globetrotting Gosselins call home).
We're not quite sure if the class could genuinely meet the special needs of Team Gosselin.
Let's see: Eight kids who've lived their lives in front of the TV cameras, a douchy dad who parties like it's 1999 ('cept it's 2010) and a mom who can count herself among the hardest-working of the D-List celebs? Yep, just a normal family all trying to get along ... not!
Do you think these two need more than a three-hour parenting course?
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)
Can you message me with any pointers on how you made this blog site look like this, I'd be thankful.
I've been looking around on the web hoping to get some ideas on how to get my web site coded, your overall style and theme are fantastic. Did you code it by yourself or did you get a programmer to do it to suit your needs?
My brother and I were just debating this very topic, he is constantly endeavouring to prove me completely wrong. Your current view on this is fantastic and just how I really feel. I just mailed my brother this site to demonstrate him your own view. Right after looking over your weblog I book-marked and will be returning to read your posts!
I was just analyzing this post it is extremely well crafted, I am exploring through the internet looking for precisely how to do this blog thing and your site definitely is really professional.
My brother and I were just discussing your very topic, he's continually endeavouring to prove me incorrect. Your view on this is fantastic and exactly how I truly feel. I just emailed my brother this page to demonstrate him your current perspective. Immediately after looking over your weblog I bookmarked and will be coming back to read your posts!
As expected I have a flood of new emails regarding and It has helped me immensely with it.
Anyhow, to make a long story shortââ¬Â¦ is yet another type of.
To be able to share an opinion on is enormously satisfying.
Maybe no one in the world agrees with me, but that is the situation with and that is something I'm proud of.
Superb piece of writing should, you placed a long time and effort in it I will tell! Your present web site is incredibly pleasant additionally. What term does the idea require you to make this great site roughly where it's right now?
General I presume it is one thing to think about but it surely could possibly just be somewhat little bit of base. In my nation we should always honer ideal freelancers and I'm adoring your submit as I do think that it can be rather great.
I have been imagining this short article was going to end up being mundane due to the subject! Though the more browse the significantly better this became.
well guess this post is a bit old and things have changed since then.but thanks for informing me.

I have attended two funerals in two weeks.
The first death, though of someone not related or extremely close to me still, pierced my heart, leaving it open and raw to receive the news this week that my twenty-seven year old nephew lost his battle with addiction.
I have attended two funerals in two weeks
Each time wondering at the sterile way we treat death, at what are acceptable and unacceptable displays of grief, at the industry that preys on our insecurities, our uncomfortableness, our fears.
Why do we expect those who have lost the most to be strong in the midst of the greatest pain a person can know? Tell me when is the right time, where is the right place, for a grieving mother or father to break down? How do we paste a smile on our face and shove that in front of a brokenhearted parent or grandparent and say, "you have to be strong. He would want you to be strong," shutting down the tears, the pain, the grief? What right do we have to do that just so we won't be uncomfortable, just so we won't have to deal with that amount of raw emotion?
Please, may I say, please hold off on your judgment. I know there are those who think the one who enables, the one who struggles with the same disease, has no right to his grief. You are wrong. We ALL must enter into this broken place. We all must acknowledge and embrace the pain. This journey is what brings wholeness, eventually, it does bring wholeness. Here or there.
Do we not understand that the effort to deny the pain is the core of addiction? Do we not understand that by shutting down this process, we,in turn, are perpetuating the same behavior of not acknowledging, not learning how to be with pain, with things that are uncomfortable. Do we not see that in some ways we might all have addictions but ours are more acceptable and less devastating. Might we all be trying to avoid the pain, trying to be strong, trying to make it through another day?
I don't want my living to be this way. I want to learn to sit with grief, with pain, with even just being uncomfortable. I certainly don't want my experiences with death to be captive to what we consider respectful and normal.
Life is messy. Death is messy.
Let it be so.

Volunteers from Health First, South Brevard Sharing Center purchase nearly 400 gifts for children in need
By Chris Fish
BREVARD -- Health First partnered with the South Brevard Sharing Center to help fulfill holiday wish lists for Brevard County kids and teens, who would otherwise not wake up to presents under their trees.
Fifty volunteer shoppers from the Brevard community helped purchase nearly 400 gifts on Friday, Dec. 6, at the Melbourne Toys- R- Us.
Through the Health First Community Benefits Program, Health First associates and volunteers from the Sharing Center shopped at the Toys-R-Us in Melbourne to purchase gifts for the "Children Without Christmas Toy Drive."
"The most important thing about this event is the community is coming together to help children in need," said Steve Johnson, Health First president and CEO. "Health First is pleased to be able to do our part to help bring smiles to the faces of children and teens in our community, who need it the most."
Mr. Johnson said that more than 600 children and teenagers signed up to receive gifts through the Sharing Center's "Children Without Christmas Toy Drive."
Gifts purchased inlcuded scooters, dollhouses, games, action figures and remote control trucks.
Items were loaded onto the Sharing Center's truck and will be delivered to the children before Christmas Day.
Mr. Johnsons said that Health First took part in this charitable drive to continue to improve the health and well-being of those it serves.
"We recognized that there was a need to help children this holiday season," he said. "When we learned of this major need in our community, we reached out to the South Brevard County Sharing Center to see how we could help."
Mr. Johnson said that the center provided Health First and other volunteers with specific items children asked for this season.
"We were able to purchase more than 350 gifts to help," he said. "Our Health First Community Benefits Program partners with several nonprofit agencies year-round, and this is just one example of our efforts."
In 2012, Mr. Johnson said that Health First's support of our community totaled more than $118 million.
"Health First strongly believes in giving back to our community," he said. "Seeing all of the toys being loaded into the truck was quite moving, knowing how much this will impact the people, who receive them. Helping to ensure others have a joyful holiday season is something Health First feels passionate about."

The threat of a first-ever default by the federal government is pushing President Barack Obama and Republicans toward a sweeping agreement to cut government spending and increase the Treasury's borrowing authority. Yet a perennial partisan struggle over Medicare drives them apart.
Remarkably, the two sides seem determined to pursue both accord and discord simultaneously, sparing the still-wobbling economy from threatened calamity while preserving Medicare as a political issue in the 2012 elections.
"I'm willing. I'm ready. It is time to have the conversation" about deficit cuts and the debt limit, said House Speaker John Boehner, urging Obama to become personally involved. "It is time to play large ball, not small ball."
But a few days later, House Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California said, "I could never support any arrangement that reduced benefits for Medicare. Absolutely not," she told CBS' "Face The Nation," emphasizing a position she and other Democrats had laid out at their own meeting with Obama.
Given the sheer size of Medicare, nearly $500 billion a year, any deal on reducing future deficits is likely to include savings from the program, if not the benefit cuts many Democrats oppose.
But if any Republican thought that the White House and congressional Democrats might agree to even a temporary cease-fire on Medicare, they may want to reconsider.
Boehner, R-Ohio, and fellow House Republicans had scarcely left a White House meeting with Obama on Wednesday when presidential press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that Obama "doesn't believe that we need to end Medicare as we know it, to dismantle the program as it currently exists, in order to achieve significant deficit reduction."
Within seconds, he said the Republican plan for Medicare "puts too much of the burden of deficit reduction on the shoulders of seniors, of low- income children and the disabled. And the president just feels that that's unacceptable."
A few moments later, Carney hit a trifecta of sorts, calling the Republican plan "premium support or privatization or voucherization."
None of these can be considered terms of endearment, politically, particularly not by Republicans. They say their Medicare plan, developed by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is designed to save the program from bankruptcy and preserve it for future generations.
In the meeting the president hosted for rank-and-file Republicans, Ryan and Obama clashed.
The congressman told Obama it was not leadership to demagogue a good-faith attempt to save Medicare, when it is clear the program is headed for bankruptcy, according to several participants in the session.
Obama replied it wasn't leadership to shift billions in costs from the federal government to states and individuals who can't afford it.
Ryan responded that wasn't what his plan did, explained it in some detail and drew an ovation from fellow Republicans.
The plan retains Medicare in its present form for current beneficiaries and those age 55 and older.
For anyone younger, Medicare would consist of a government-mandated package of benefits, purchased on the open market from private insurers. Federal funds would help defray the costs for beneficiaries.
Polls and recent events such as the unexpected loss of a House seat in upstate New York and criticism from GOP president contender Newt Gingrich make clear that the Republican plan is not favorable political terrain for the party.
They are on far safer turf, they concede, when they stress that job creation is their top goal and spending cuts the surest way to achieve it.
Even some House Democrats who once talked of wanting to allow more government borrowing without taking steps to rein in future spending voted against legislation last week to do precisely that.
Republicans presented the bill as something Obama had asked for, but the House Democrats' second-in-command, Rep, Steny Hoyer of Maryland, called it a "demagogic vote" designed to render his rank and file vulnerable to campaign attack ads.
His comments underscore how much the Republicans have succeeded in casting the political debate since they were sworn into office in January and took control of the House.
If anything, the announcement from Moody's Investors Services that it might downgrade the U.S. debt, followed by a report showing an increase in unemployment, helped Republicans who are eager to put the Medicare debate aside.
"If we don't get our fiscal house in order, the markets will do it for us," Boehner said Friday.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner put it slightly differently after meeting with first-term House members, most of them Republicans who are determined to cut spending.
"I'm confident two things are going to happen this summer," he said. "One is we're going to avoid a default crisis, and we're going to reach agreement on our long-term fiscal plan."

Notice they never discuss curtailing or winding down our engineered involvement in Iraq, the non to confused mission in Afghanistan and our involvement in Libya through our U.S. supported surrogate combatant, NATO.
Instead of focusing on Medicare alone, how about cutting every government program by 10-15 % along with the summary termination of longstanding waste and fraud in government boondoggles that have long since been forgotten, but are still sucking on the bottomline.
Analying the "Government Waste and Fraud" report I've come with $200 billion per annum that's simply being p*ssed down a rathole not including any of my suggested current cuts that need to be done in order to achieve solvency. Also scrapping Obamacare before it moves away from the dock and becomes an even worse blood-sucking nightmare than Medicare/caid could ever be. They plan on siphoning 500 billion from Medicare to breath life into this O-care monster. Say what…!?
My recommended 10-15% 'haircut' would include Congressional, Supreme Court, Executive Branch, active government employees as well as retirees, both military and civilian too. Everyone must feel the pinch equally; there's to be no "sacred cows"…period! : |
Evidently the American people, now seemingly a bunch of bovine entities dosed on antidepressants and bad drugs in general won't believe this is the real deal until hyperinflation breaks out and there's blood running in the streets.

Wouldn't it be great if Congress people stood up and pledged their support for seniors, the young and the disabled like they do for Israel?
Spot-on Woody. America is not the 'kinder, gentler society' of bygone times, but has morphed into a resource grasping, spendthrift version of a terminally corrupt 'Rome' redux.
They should consider building a coliseum in D.C. so our now seemingly ensconced 'emperors' once Presidents of a Constitutional republic can feed seniors, the young and the disabled to the 'jaws of the beast' while a jaded company of elitists; I.E., our now terminally corrupt Congress cheers on the 'games'…no? / : |

I don't think there should be a Lore correct way. Too much confusion on BGs plus, I think our hatred of the opposing faction runs deep. Most switching players would be ostracized and ridiculed. Not a fun way to play.
I'm surprised with the concern about Lore anyway. It's not like WoW really takes anything seriously. Every quest and NPC name in the entire game is just a pop-culture riff off of something. It's not like there is some immersive Lore that needs to be protected. WoW lore is a thin premise at best.
I think it's smart they are keeping this an "outside of game" change. This change has zero impact on effecting your game other than you getting lvl 80s asking where the FP is in a major town. LOL. Sad isn't it?
Conversion of mounts is easy. Each side has a corresponding mount or faction that can be cross mapped. The game was designed that way to stop whiners and attempt to halt the "Blizz favors X faction" arguments. It's a simple matter of them mapping out 1:1 crossovers of faction xp or faction items.
I've come to hate the alliance over the years. I'll be glad to turn my 70 Drenai mage into a Troll so I can finally level the rest of the way.

World Building 101: Inns and Outs
This article previously appeared on August 19th 2009. It reappears here as part of Brandan Landgraff's World Building 101 series of articles.
At the end of a hard day adventuring, the most popular place for PCs to rest their weary heads is typically the local inn. It is the adventurer's home away from home, base of operations, and the best place to celebrate a successful journey.
As it is generally one of the places that you can expect your PCs to be spending a lot of time, it makes sense to put a bit of effort into making the inn more than just a place to sleep. A memorable inn can be so much more—a place to introduce new characters and plot hooks both major and minor, and a place that actually feels like home. It could even be possible to run an entire adventure based solely in the inn, if it is set up correctly.
Continue reading this article »

Yea a good post, to me finding an inn, or several if your party bases itself in a wider region, that you enjoy and call home is a rewarding a curcial aspect to a long running campaign.

Other planned features, items, and blocks
|This page or section has been suggested to be merged with Unimplemented features as the articles share similar information or a common topic. Discuss
|Account System Update[6]
|This will include the ability to change your Minecraft username and have multiple copies of Minecraft per account. This will come sometime after 1.8 is released.
|Audio loops
|Audio loops have not yet been added to the game, but may be implemented to play when the player is in a specific location (In caves, forests, oceans, and beside a waterfall). This has been partially added in 1.4 with the addition of lava and water ambient sounds.
|Cauldron Enhancement
|Dinnerbone plans to make buckets fillable from cauldrons.[7]
|Construction analysis
|Jeb mentioned that they hoped to add better systems for analyzing constructions, such as village houses — currently a lone door will be considered a village house.[8]
|Easier way to implement terrain changes
|Dinnerbone said in a Reddit AMA that he planned on making an easier way to implement terrain changes[9]
|Friends List
|Notch mentioned on his blog, The World of Notch, that friends lists would be added after Beta 1.8[10]. The Minecraft documentary team of 2 Player Productions filmed a Keynote roadmap, containing these lines.[11][12] Kristoffer mentioned on Twitter that he is currently working on friends lists for Scrolls, then for other Mojang games. These will be available for players with Mojang accounts. At MineCon 2012 Jeb stated that it would be a large implementation on the server side and will be used for all Mojang games, and that is a big project.[13][14]
|Mesa Temple[15]

|Dinnerbone said in a Reddit AMA that they planned on adding more types of caves[19]
|Rare tools/weapons normally unobtainable
|Dinnerbone said on Twitter he would like to add weapons/tools that cannot be crafted, and only obtained by treasure chests/trading, etc. For example, bows with faster drawback, boots that increase health, or night vision helmets. However, the attribute system has to be finished first.[20][21][22][23]
|Removing Enchantments
|Dinnerbone stated that there will be a way to remove enchantments from items.[24]
|Rendering Engine Rewrite
|First confirmed for 1.5, but not added yet. The features will require a higher OpenGL feature-set and include some sort of fallback for older hardware. The rewritten engine will allow for much faster overall rendering, resulting in higher FPS. This has partially been added in 1.7[25][26] and in 1.8
|Dinnerbone mentioned on Twitter that he was experimenting with adding seasons, and varying the length of day and night according to season. He also mentioned it during MineCon 2013.[27][28] Seasons may include changes in color of tree leaves and may also be tied to real time.[29][30]
|Dinnerbone stated in a Reddit AMA that he will look into adding subtitles, making the game more convenient for people who have the inability to hear.[31]
|Treasure maps
|Dinnerbone said on Twitter that he will add treasure maps, which would presumably lead to hidden treasure chests[32]

DWR's Random Light vs. DIY Whirl It Light
So, Laure wasn't too keen on my plea yesterday, which means I have to resort to Plan B on the whole pendant light thing. Plan B is yet another awesome craft project from Pickles, made sweeter by the fact that it's a dead ringer for DWR's Random Light (retails between $600-$1,127, depending on size), and it doesn't employ any knitting/crocheting skills.
Looking over the instructions, it looks like this project is best done outdoors (mess) and will probably require a few hours in the afternoon. Employing the same principles of a third-grade paper-mâche project, the base of the lampshade is a really, really large balloon and then laying glue-dipped strands of yarn around it.
Detailed instructions with a complete list of materials can be found over at Pickles; and in case you're wavering on the crafty quality of this pendant light, here's a few close-up shots of the finished project:

D'oh Boston!
i like the diy version better. I want to do this for my bedroom!
I made this exact same thing years ago. But I didn't use yarn...I went to the flower district where they had these gigantic wicker balls...I guess around 36" in circumference. The cost was $25 dollars. I took it home...spray painted it white...and Voila. ALOT less work I would imagine than this yarn method. Just saying...
Come on! DIY totally!!! The price at DWR is ridiculous! And, if done properly, the DIY can look amazing!
I would experiment with different balloons and shapes, maybe make a balloon animal and wrap the yarn around that.
I think this would look better if it was perfectly round, like the DWR light. Right now, it looks like a fat tear drop. But I like it :)
there have been a BUNCH of AT posts about this already within the past few months...
Courtachino, if you use a childs' bouncy-ball, which are made out of heavier/sturdier material than a balloon, then you wont get the 'fat tear drop'. follow all of the same directions , but instead of popping the balloon after, just deflate the ball.
I totally plan on using this idea, with twice instead of yarn :)
@ abc123 -- that would most definitely work :) Even though I am not a crafty/DIY person, I just may have to try this... seems easy enough, LOL
@ Courtachino and abc123
Here is the article from last year on how to get them perfectly round using a bouncy ball:
Hmmm. Maybe, after blowing up the balloon, you could blow a second balloon, the same size, inside the first. Doubling it might make it more sturdy.
My family used to use this technique for making our own Easter baskets every year (with much smaller balloons)! After the yarn is dry and you pop the balloon, you can cut a hole out of one side and then paint it with leftover Easter egg dye. I'm not sure how my mom got it flat on the bottom to sit up... Maybe she just kind of squished it down. Anyway, I remember having so much fun with this! Thanks for taking me back to my childhood!
I've made several of these now. A bouncy ball is a bit better than a punching balloon, but both work. (With the punching balloon, it'll deflate a little while the ball dries, usually leaving a couple of strands of string sticking out a bit further than the rest, but it's really only noticeable if you are very, very up close.)
All of the ones I've made have been made while sitting on a living room couch (either mine or a friends) and have resulted in nothing worse than sticky fingers.
I had better luck wrapping the balloon or ball, then using a sponge brush to cover the string.
this is RAD! I'd love to make a ton of these for weddings. or tiny ones to put around a string of globe lights...
I used to do the same thing MANY years ago with yarn soaked in plaster of paris. (Work fast!) It's a harder final project, but sometimes you have to flake off the thin layer of plaster that spreads onto the form.
Do you think they still have something like that? I'll be visiting the LA area next week and would love something like that.
I made one of these recently, and I actually like it more than the Random Light. I used white crochet thread, clear acrylic glue, and fabric stiffener painted over the whole thing at the end. A kid's bouncy ball gave it the perfect round shape. It didn't take more than an hour or two - buying the ingredients around town was the more time consuming piece. Definitely don't buy the random - this is way better!!
At AppleDeco....Yes they have them at several different stores here in the floral district of NYC. I still see them hanging up outside the shops. I can't speak for L.A. though. It was an easy project...and very inexpensive....I wish I took pics! All you need is one of those wicker balls...and a few cans of white spray paint.
I actually think the DIY version looks better. Very impressive!
wow this model are great lamps
