Cute kid. [Video]
Top 100 players in NFL; #1 | #12, Tom Brady. QB, New England Patriots.
"Tom Brady being #1? I wouldn't disagree at all. I think he's worked his way to earn that spot —- It's a chess match! Because he understands every coverage. He understands every defense. And if you give it away too early, then the game is like checkers then for him. He plays it like he wants to play! And that's what makes it frustrating playing against him because he always finds a way of finding those mismatches, one way or another."
-Ray Lewis on Tom Brady for #1 player currently in the NFL.

International bodies say Israel violated humanitarian laws
Israel violated international humanitarian laws during its military operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, leading human rights organizations charged Monday.
Palestinians charge that Israeli troops committed a massacre of civilians during the operation, which ended with Israel's withdrawal April 11. Israel denies that, saying that most of the Palestinian casualties were gunmen or bombers.
The International Red Cross and U.N. Relief and Works Administration said the army ignored international norms on human rights in the camp. It also refused to help rescue Palestinians buried in the destruction, they said, according to AP.
"When we are confronted with the extent of destruction in the Jenin refugee camp, in an area of civilian concentration, it is difficult to accept that international humanitarian law has been fully respected," said Rene Kosirnik, regional chairman of the Red Cross.
In London, Amnesty International said it has evidence of human rights abuses, including the possible use of Palestinian detainees as human shields.
Amnesty, which recently began an investigation in the heavily damaged camp, said an international probe must be conducted to determine whether Israeli forces violated humanitarian laws or committed war crimes.
The human rights group did not present any evidence it said its investigators have come up with. It also said its preliminary investigation had found no evidence of mass graves.
Hospital officials in Jenin report fewer than 50 bodies have been recovered, but the Palestinians say hundreds of people were killed and may be buried under houses bulldozed by the Israeli army. Israel says the number of dead is fewer than 100.
Kosirnik did not detail which laws had allegedly been violated, but held up a copy of the Fourth Geneva Convention regarding the treatment of civilians in a war zone. (Albawaba.com)

Back to Blue: At Home With a Bookbinder
Fall Style with Some of our Favorite Apartment Therapy House Tours
We first met Sophia in June, when her "bookish" live/work home was featured in a House Tour. We loved her style, so we asked her how she likes to relax at home.
We gave Sophia our "Back to Blue" Questionnaire:
What do you think is the Color of Fall 2013? Every shade of blue!
What do you like to serve when friends come over? I enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes using seasonal produce from the farmers market which is a short walk from my apartment.
What do you do to relax at home? Take off my shoes, lounge on the couch, practice singing. Nico usually greets me as soon as I get home and follows me around.
Essential song for your 'chilling' playlist: Billie Holiday, Stormy Weather.
Favorite book to re-read on a lazy Sunday: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami; James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
What do you wear when you're relaxing at home? My silk robe from Thailand. Kidding. Anything comfortable would do.
What does Fall mean for you? Fall means the abundance of apples, the many colors of leaves and crisp breezy air. Wearing a lot of jackets and scarves.
Describe your perfect Sunday: Waking up late, listening to gospel music, organizing for the week. Sunday is a time for recharging, relaxing and meditating. Having brunch with friends is nice as well.
What inspired you to become a bookbinder? I love how versatile bookbinding is with the variety of materials and techniques. It encompasses printmaking, letterpress, papermaking, leatherwork. Books are like sculptures. I'm also a book conservator so I know historical book structures. I took an elective in bookbinding in art school with a great and enthusiastic teacher. I grew up with art, both my parents are artists.
How would you describe your style? Modern meets vintage.
Whose closet would you raid if you could? Vivienne Westwood and Miuccia Prada.

WOW! I just now saw the original house tour; June was B.AT. for me (Before Apartment Therapy) and I am blown away.
I am redoing my office (not following the Style Cure because I don't take direction well) and her studio is exactly the vibe I want. I am not a bookbinder but now I am inspired by her unconsciously curated (yes, a proper use the word), purposeful, and orderly accumulation of work-related stuff. I'm on fire to make my space like hers.
This interview is a good excuse to go back to the popular posts in the past. Love the pics.
Adorable cat!!! Where did you get that beautiful cat painting with the red background?
Let Sophia be our Inspriation!!:
I really enjoyed Sophia's 'chilling' tour-so much that I went back and checked out her house tour...Lovely! Her space seems uncontrived, serene and peaceful and that's how this gal appears to too-
It appears that Sophia has sacrificed her bed room for her bookbinding. I'm wowed with this commitment to her Art!
It's by Earl, resident Hudson painter
If how a home is decorated tells you about the person who lives there, then we need to be friends. I am in love with your home. And that cat?!? I send a big kiss and hug to that love bug. The art above the sofa is phenomenal. Your home is welcoming and warm. Thanks for sharing both tours with us.
So nice to see a followup post from you!

Hello, I am Georgia State Representative Winfred Dukes.
The refusal to accept the 33-Million dollar Medicaid Expansion offered in the Affordable Health Care Act may be good politics for some, but it is poor public policy for others.
The Medicaid expansion can extend health care coverage to over 500,000 uninsured Georgians.
Of that number, 140,000 of them are our friends, neighbors, and relatives who live in rural Georgia.
It can create between 60 and 70 thousands new jobs, with an $8 Billion dollar yearly economic impact while costing the state less than .2 percent of the state's 2014 budget.
Good politics for some, poor policy for Georgia.

I'd have been suspicious of me.
Here I was, a stranger with no identifying jacket, or armband, or hat, or badge, walking around, alone, knocking on doors asking questions with an iPhone in-hand and logging answers and addresses into my shiny device.
"Good morning, I'm a volunteer with the United Way of New York conducting a survey of residents' evolving needs after the storm. The information is to be used by State, Federal and Non-profit agencies. Can I take ten minutes of your time and ask you a few questions?"
That's how I explained my presence on their doorstep. I was assigned a two-block area, Beach 91st and Beach 92nd streets, between Beach Channel Drive and Rockaway Beach Blvd, near the Thai Rock restaurant.
But to my surprise, the vast majority of the residents there opened their doors and answered the intrusive questions. They were friendly, kind, gracious people, eager to respond. Many here are firemen. They're strong, resilient folks.
"Do you have food?"
"Do you have water?"
"Do you have electricity?"
The blocks are mostly composed of detached single- and multi-family homes. Beach 92nd street was particularly striking because of how clean and ordered it was. No debris was visible on it. I was almost tempted to say that things were fine here.
The survey questions made me feel silly. They seemed outdated, out of tune. But upon a closer inspection, things were not as fine as they seemed - not by a long-shot. While residents here had food, water and electricity, some were still without heat.
A retired fireman told me he'd recently switched to natural gas after the storm. "I have heat but my brother-in-law still doesn't. I called a contractor. He's still waiting on Rapid Response," he said.
After the survey we sat a bit, chatting about how his family weathered the tempest. His bushy mustache framed a determined smile. It was a smile, I thought, chiseled into his face from years of work as a rescuer. I imagined it would have been especially reassuring to see it if I'd been trapped in a burning building.
As the ocean flooded his basement, he recounted, his oil tank had leaked all over. That's when I finally pinpointed the smell that permeated his home.
In this section of Far Rockaway, things were coming along, but lots of people still didn't have heat. Those that did, had it because of their own effort and expense.
Those relying on the city were still waiting for heat.
One family - a mom, dad and two-year-old - like many of their neighbors, were using space-heaters for warmth as they waited for "rapid response." The father was a 41-year-old filmmaker who made a documentary about Far Rockaway's surfer culture. The family had only recently bought their home.
They weren't worried about the heat, it was on the way. They were OK, they said. Once again, a block away, amid the grim recovery, there were smiles. But the optimism was tempered by the long legal, financial and emotional journey they now faced.
As I left the home I noticed two guys in a brand-new Mercedes going door-to-door giving away space-heaters.
Recovery on Far Rockaway has been uneven.
Many have it a lot worse than the area I visited on Saturday. One of the volunteers in charge of organizing the collected survey data told me that many of the poorest folks still don't have access to food, or water, or electricity. "It's disgusting."
But regardless of socio-economic status, all residents of Far Rockaway face a daunting bureaucratic nightmare.
They are juggling FEMA applications, insurance claims, and disaster unemployment assistance, just to name a few issues. Landlord/tenant problems are becoming more pervasive as slumlords drag their feet to make repairs to damaged homes, many of which still lack electricity, heat, and hot water. For the poorest, food is still not easily accessible. Even in the middle-class area I was in, the supermarket had only been open for a day or so. Folks that don't have cars or money to shop or friends to give them rides are still dependent on the food pantries and hot food tables offered by volunteers.
A new phase of volunteering is gaining momentum: legal guidance.
There is free legal help available for residents to navigate the bureaucracy, but I worry that they don't know about it. So I want to try and get the word out and I'm starting here, by listing a few resources I've found:
1) The definitive disaster legal assistance manual from Legal Services NYC (PDF):
2) A calendar of upcoming law clinics, New York Free Disaster Assistance Legal Clinics:
3) For law help including general information about disaster relief - Disaster relief for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations - Disaster unemployment assistance (DUA) and other work problems related to Hurricane Sandy - FEMA disaster assistance - Food stamp replacement - Homeowners: insurance and foreclosures - Immigrants affected by Hurricane Sandy - Tenants affected by Hurricane Sandy:
4) Follow the NY Bar's blog - City Bar Justice Center news:
5) For lawyers and non-lawyer volunteer opportunities - Hurricane Sandy Legal Relief Efforts:
There aren't many volunteer groups that will actually stick around after everyone forgets Hurricane Sandy happened. That's the nature of disaster relief. But the process of rebuilding a community takes months and years. So it's great to see local businesses transform into relief centers and local residents turn into community organizers.
Lava Girl Surf and the Rockaway Beach Surf Club have been running of the best organized relief hubs in the Rockaways. Their stated mission "is to keep the Rockaway community intact and get our displaced residents back as soon as possible."
Since Lava Girl Surf will be at the beach for lots of summers to come, they're also strengthening ties between year-round residents and day-trippers, wealthier and poorer parts of the community, between so-called gentrifiers and the so-called gentrified.
If you want to support them or volunteer with them, head to the Surf Club at Beach 87th Street. They're open daily from 10-5. More info here.
Tonight at 7:30pm, Anthology Film Archives is hosting NY Surf Stories, an evening of locally produced movies about New York's surfing community.
All proceeds will go to Waves for Water, a non-profit where 100% of the fund go to those effected by Hurricane Sandy. Raffle prizes include a free stay at Casa de Olas in Nicaragua, camera equipment, and surfing gear.
The event will be co-hosted by local professional surfer Mikey DeTemple and Waves for Water's Jon Rose. More info can be found here.

1. Get on your bike! (via Time's Up)
If you've been to the Rockaways, you know that the fastest way to get around the traffic jams of cars, volunteers, relief trucks, aid stations, and clean up crews is on a bike. So if you have the bicycle and the legs, join the Time's Up Fossil Fuel Disaster relief riders this Sunday. The details:
Extraordinary story from the NYTimes about how inmates pitched in to help after the hurricane. Many of the prisoners and the guards have ties to the Rockaways, and their efforts were really amazing.
"Inmates did 6,600 pounds of laundry for people in emergency shelters. The jail supplied generators and gas to fuel them to neighborhoods in the dark, and donated long underwear usually given to inmates. And officers with medical training provided emergency care to victims.
Ms. Schriro, a Staten Island native who lives on City Island in the Bronx, and her deputies started strategizing how they would tap Rikers's enormous resources even as the storm was still raging. Ms. Schriro had already reminded the Bloomberg administration of all that Rikers had to offer should the storm prove to be as catastrophic as predicted.
"But Ms. Schriro felt a greater sense of urgency after seeing firsthand what the storm had done to the Rockaways, a place that is home to some of the jail's inmates as well as to some of the guards who watch over them. She mobilized a group of correction officers to deliver truckloads of canned and dried goods from the island's food supply and to use emergency relief supplies from the jail's warehouses, including bottled water and blankets. The agency also delivered clothing to relief centers in the city, including jackets kept for inmates.
"Officers took generators and backup lights from various jails to Breezy Point, Queens, and other locations. Correction Department buses and vans transported evacuees on Staten Island and shuttled recovery workers in Brooklyn."
Anthony Weiner checked out the Rockaways in the days after the storm, and he was back just this past week surveying storm damaged homes and talking about just how effed the place is, especially for the poorest residents.
O man! You know what the Rockaways could use? Maybe a strong advocate who wasn't afraid to talk about poverty… maybe an influential local politician who would fight for people who are often forgotten… maybe a public servant who prided himself on not caving to the limousine liberal part of the liberal machine that tends to not actually do much fighting for people who get royally screwed on a regular basis in places like the Rockaways housing projects.
And one who didn't fritter all his political currency away on the Twitters. Dammit Anthony.
First he asked, "The most important question is, what kind of country do you want to live in?" Then he said, "We believe 'we're all in this together' is a far better philosophy than 'you're on your own."
Then Bill Clinton showed up.
Bubba. Big strong arms. Awesome smile. Heart that's been worked over by many a surgeon. He brought it all to the Rockaways Sunday, working with none other than Team Rubicon and New York Cares. Says a friend who worked with them: "We went to a house and did the standard gutting of the downstairs. They gave a lot of hugs."
Hot food and hugs. The key to this recovery.

For the first 16 years of his life, Sherlock Holmes encountered few problems that could not be solved. And that was, as far as Sherlock was concerned, entirely boring.
John Watson was not boring.
Such a cute teen!lock! I really got a good smile from this. Ever the scientist, Sherlock is observing endorphins and the changes in moods they cause! I like how when John describes his "runner's high" Sherlock doesn't even think to just like I don't know, exercise! Like isn't that easier than getting the piss beat out of you? It was adorable, he's so stubborn. I also love the idea of him with braces, oh my gosh that would be so awkward! Though I do think Sherlock would have already have most information on endorphins already figured out the author did say they felt the same and made it ooc on purpose. Which is very good because it wouldn't work if he did already understand everything on endorphins. The only thing I would add is more of his feelings on John, like how he views their friendship. There's stuff there, I'm not saying their isn't but I would like more. I didn't feel their friendship. Otherwise it's really fun and cute. And really who doesn't love teen!lock!?

Sockwell Elevation Compression Socks 20 20
Socks Well, it happened. I hit that age where my feet would swell at even the mention of a long airplane trip. So I bought my first pair of compression socks. That was two years ago. These socks wear like iron! They are a good value, but I recommend buying more than one pair at a time, because after a 17 hour plane ride to the UK from MT you need to wear them for a few days after you land as well as during the flight! September 3, 2014
Super soft & stylish I have other compression socks but these are so comfortable due to the graduated compression. Will be purchasing an additional pair August 8, 2014
Great for long plane rides Very comfortable, do leave diamond shape on legs when removed, but fade quickly. Nice fit. August 4, 2014
Comfortable and Effective I ordered these socks to help alleviate swelling and pain in my ankle and calf. I developed painful varicose veins early in my pregnancy and refuse to wear (toe to waist) compression hosiery. These socks are my third attempt for a solution and they are perfect. They are thick and soft, and very comfortable for all-day wear. At the end of the day, my legs feel fresh and have little to no pain. Even though the socks are thick, my feet did not get too hot in 80 degree autumn temperatures in Texas (just a little warm, but not bothersome.) They breathe quite well. I even wear a regular ankle sock over them when wearing tennis shoes to prevent wear and tear. I was pleased with the service from TravelSmith, as well. The socks arrived fairly quickly. Their free return shipping label was reassuring even though I didn't need to use it. October 9, 2012
Best socks ever I am a nurse and have worn compression socks for decades. They are not only the most comfortable, they are the cutest. April 30, 2014
compression sox that look cute ! nice! wow, these just arrived and I am wearing them right now. excellent product. fit well and give excellent compression-but they leave the toes nice and loose-it seems like gradient compression. I'm going to order all the colors. perfect for long flights !~ June 18, 2014
Really made a difference I used them on a long haul flight and my usual swelling was noticabley less at the end of the 8 hour flight. I also wore them in boots walking around London and Istanbul all day and they helped with how my feet felt at the end. I bragged so much to my husband that he borrowed them for his 14 hour flight (luckily I had bought the brown ones!) and he found they helped too...now I'm buying him his own pair for Christmas. They feel tight going on, but really help and look cute too. December 13, 2012
Great new product - moderate compression I regularly wear 20 - 30 mm Hg compression knee highs, usually hose. The hose cost about $60/pr. These Elevation socks are a refreshing change. Finally, a fun design in a comfortable sock that costs less than half the usual price for this great level of compression! These come in a standard height, which I can wear, but barely. This is the only Sockwell sock I have found that provides moderate compression. The other Sockwell sock models provide a lower level of compression in a variety of other colors and designs for those who prefer lighter compression. I have 2 suggested improvements: 1. Make this moderate level of compression in more different designs and colors. 2. Make it in a short version for those of us with shorter legs. December 26, 2013

Two US troops killed in Baghdad as Sadr fighters turn over weapons
Two American troops were killed and five injured Monday in a rocket attack in southern Baghdad, the US military said. The attack reported at 8 a.m. local time.
Meanwhile, Shi'ite fighters loyal to Moqtada al-Sadr on Monday started turning over their weapons to Iraqi police, a source close to al Sadr said.
According to the agreement by Sadr's Mehdi Army, the fighters were due to hand in heavy weapons at three collection points - the town council building and two police stations. At al-Nasr station, Police Maj. Kadhim Salman said fighters had turned in machine guns, TNT paste, land mines and other explosives, The AP reporfted.
Outside the Habibiya police station, a pickup truck offloaded about 20 grenade launchers and dozens of mortar rounds.
Fighters in Sadr City have five days to hand in their weapons, National Security Adviser Kassim Daoud said on Sunday, adding that the government would spend more than $500 million on rebuilding the slums where two million Shi'ites live. (albawaba.com)

HIV And Cancer Come From Merck Vaccine Scientist

HIV And Cancer Come From Merck Vaccine Scientist
This shocking interview was CENSORED.
The world's leading authority on vaccines admitted that the HIV virus was introduced to humans through the creation of vaccines using HIV-infected monkeys from Africa.
Dr. Maurice Hilleman also acknowledged that the SV40 virus, which causes cancer, is contained in vaccines.
Some researchers believe this is responsible for the dramatic rise in cancer.
(Drug companies claim that the SV40 virus has been removed, but there are sources who say otherwise.)
While Dr. Hilleman was the senior vaccine scientist at Merck, he personally discovered the presence of the cancer-causing virus in Merck's vaccines, as well as the HIV virus in monkeys, however the company knowingly injected millions of people with both.
Dr. Hilleman has since died, but his testimony lives on in this interview.
Many people have heard that HIV came from monkeys in Africa, but they don't know how.
Some vaccines are grown on monkey kidneys. As you'll hear in this video, when it was discovered that the African green monkeys were contaminated with the (as yet unknown) HIV virus, their kidneys were used to make vaccines anyhow, despite believing that the virus would be harmful.
As a result, millions of people worldwide have now been given the HIV virus through vaccines.
* Please note that there are credible scientists who believe that HIV is not affiliated with AIDS. Fore more info, visit my blog:

This interview was conducted by medical historian Edward Shorter for WGBH public television (Boston) and Blackwell Science. It was cut from "The Health Century" due to the huge liability potential.
I gratefully acknowledge Dr. Len Horowitz for his steadfast work in providing this clip, and for his great contribution to revealing the truth about medicine in general.

Before computers and dna they had organ grinders. They would grind up organs of different types of animals in this case it was monkeys and use the material to make vaccines and this is how the polio virus was stopped.But they ran out of a specific species that made the vaccines and started using a different type of monkey species and it seemed to work but another disease spawned out of the polio vaccines which was Aids & HIV.This is the origin of the idea of getting aids from monkeys.

Who really is looking out for taxpayers at the state capitol? A group called Texans for Fiscal Responsibility says it has the answer. The group says Representatives Jim Landtroop of Plainview and Charles Perry of Lubbock are both "taxpayer champions." Both got an A+.
Also getting high marks is state Representative John Frullo of Lubbock. TFR says he gets a B+, and they call him a "taxpayer advocate," which is its second highest rating.
But the group is not pleased with Lubbock's State Senator Robert Duncan. TFR gave him a failing grade.

Find: Is Beyoncé pregnant again?
According to RapRadar.com, the "optic EP" will include both audio and visual material recorded at the final concert of Jay-Z's eight-night run at the new Brooklyn stadium.

Be Careful
By Sheryl
from Surrey, BC
I took this product only once - it made me into a zombie. One of the problems with these natural supplements is that they do not always say what the ingredients are. Also, it needs to be stated that if you take certain medications you should not take this product. I am sure the manufacturer has this informtion and it should be passed on to the user,
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I've been using this product for the past month for sleep. And for me, it works well. I'm not, as yet, sleeping the required 7 or 8 hours (haven't since I was a kid), but more like 5 or 6 hours. No morning hangover. Dreams are more vivid, but not in a scary way. Not mine anyway. And yes, I will be re-purchasing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

what is the point?
By Sofia
from Montreal
This product did not work for me. I have a health problem and I thought that maybe this product would help. I bought 4 bottles, followed instructions – 2 caps two times a day and 2 caps at night, for 2 months – no improvement whatsoever. Unfortunately, people with health problems are great targets to buy that kind of product as they want to get better. I know that this product is not made to heal but at least it should help a bit. What is the point of buying this kind of product if you are healthy?
Helped me when I quit smoking
By Sharon
I quit smoking while on the Nicoderm patch. The VitaTree Stress and Sleep formula helped me to get to sleep while wearing the patch. The last time I quit smoking while wearing the patch (many years ago), I was taking a sleeping pill to help me sleep through the night. The big problem with that medication was that it was habit forming. The last thing I needed was to quit one addiction, then have to stop taking the sleeping pills. The Vitatree product was great in helping with the stress associated with stopping smoking....plus NO side effects !!! I AM NOW SMOKE-FREE !!

I followed the instructions very carefully but these pills did not help with stress and they did not help with sleep. I feel very disappointed. I am just glad that I am able to return them thanks to TSC's wonderful 30 day return policy.

Michael Vick Apology Note Sold; Proceeds to Help Petsby Free Britney at . Comments
Some good will actually come to animals because of Michael Vick.
Well, more accurately, because of the generosity of comedian Carol Leifer, who bought the note Vick used during his lame apology speech in Richmond, Va., with proceeds benefiting the Animal Cruelty Reward and Response Fund.
Earlier this month, we learned that the Humane Society was auctioning off the note that Vick - who's headed to the pen after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges - used as he made his contrite speech. See below...
Apologize? Check. Talk about kids? Check? Michael Vick had it all covered.
Vick jotted down six points which called for him "to apologize for what I've done, apologize to his coach and team, tell young kids that I acted immature, ask for forgiveness, take responsibility, and remind people that we all make mistakes."
There's also a side note that says simply "dogs have suffered." Well, that depends on how you look at it. I mean, are some animals not bred to be electro-
Never mind. But we're hoping the powers that be can somehow work something out so that Michael Vick and O.J. Simpson can become cellmates.
Whoa, whoa, whoa..."Michael Vick and O.J. Simpson can become cellmates"? ....WHAAAAT! How is the killing of animals on the same level as killing two innocent human beings? I dare you to say outright that they are equally significant. I mean, you might as well be blatant about it.
Congratulations THG, you've just insulted murder victims everywhere by suggesting that the death of dogs is on the same level as the death of human beings. Okay, we get it. Michael Vick should be punished for his crimes, that's a given, but before we continue to obsess over what he did, let's get just as angry, if not more angry, over a case like the one of the woman in West Virginia who was mercilessly tortured, raped, and forced to eat animal feces for days. Where is your cynicism for that? Why not hope that the "powers that be" put people who do such things in a cell with O. J. Simpson?

It's with my great displeasure, that I have decided to delete this role play. For the past few weeks, it has gotten less and less active and I haven't really got the time or effort to put into making this role play happen. I regret having to do this, but I think it's for the best. If you would like another Marvel teenager RP, I suggest SHIELD High. I am in that role play as Susan Storm. You're welcome to keep role playing with each other as well. I going create a new Marvel group that's much better and I'll be sure to link you guys to it. But for now, I need a break from this idea.
Lots of love
Due to change in character the role has now been reopened.
Mary Jane Watson (1)
Anonymous whispered: I'll probably wait for her bio, mostly to see how you hope she'll fit in this rp.
I'll get right on her bio. I'll try and have it posted by tomorrow afternoon.
Anonymous whispered: It's the Jean!Anon again. I like the idea of making her TA age, but I was thinking of possibly using the fc of Amanda Righetti. I like your suggestion too, so if you'd prefer her, I'm happy with that too, just thought I'd suggest her. I'm looking forward to seeing what her bio is.
Ohhhh. Good suggestion as well. Either way is fine with me. If you want to, you also can used the unlisted character application as well. But if not, I'll get on her bio right away.
Anonymous whispered: Ahh... just saw that Jean's bio isn't out yet. In that case, could I please know who you have in mind for a fc?
She is open. I haven't had a chance to get to her bio. For face claims, if you wanted to make her the TA age, then Evan Rachel Wood was who I was going to make her face claim. There's Bonnie Wright and Holland Roden if you wanted to make her schooling aged. Keep in mind though, Scott is going to be older. I'm just doing that so we can have Gabriel Summers included as well.

questions from the divine commodity blog tour
yesterday skye jethani visited a host of different blogs talking about consumerism, christians and the church. each blog asked him a question, and he responded to each one. below is a list of the participating blogs and their questions. please visit the blogs to see their posts and skye's answer to their questions. and if you have a question for skye regarding the divine commodity, visit the divine commodity facebook group and post it up there, or visit his blog.
Out of Ur – no question, but a book excerpt is up
Flowerdust.net- For those of us who have read The Divine Commodity, we know you're not being divisive or writing about "what's wrong" with the church. We know that it's a book that explores the culture of modern-day faith and Biblical context and wisdom.
Why should a pastor read this book? How can those of us who aren't pastors graciously help communicate the message of The Divine Commodity without coming off like we have an agenda?
Stuff Christians Like -In your book you unfold a beautiful picture of Van Gogh's faith, something that largely, if not entirely, was missed by believers that lived in his generation. Who are we in danger of missing today? What artists, are worshipping and pointing us back to an unbelievably imaginative God, and going wholly unnoticed in our generation?
Mark D Roberts -I would like to ask you to talk about the relationship between your book and the recent Newsweek cover story on "The End of Christian America." I can think of several interesting connections, but rather than asking about these, I'd rather give you free reign to comment on how you see The Divine Commodity relating to state of Christianity in America, and especially its purportedly waning influence.
Ben Arment -You wrote about the move among churches from collaboration to competition. I totally see this. In fact, the very churches that advocate cooperation seem to be the most ruthless at gobbling up "market share." How do we get back from here?
Church Relevance -How can a church best avoid becoming a victim of consumer culture?
Bob Hyatt -So, what do you say to the pastor or Christian leader who decides to embrace consumer-driven ideas and principles for ministry because they "work?"
Cole-Slaw -Skye, what is the most extreme example of consumer-oriented Christianity you have seen or heard about?
The Forgotten Ways -Are you hopeful that we can recover an authentic discipleship ethos in the church given our enculturation by consumerism?
Reclaiming the Mission -how can pastors take advantage of this economic upheaval to forge a new post consumer post American way of being church-mission in the world?
Shaun Groves -What message does God have through The Divine Commodity for church leaders and the rest of us who are fretting over the dwindling size and influence of the American church?
Frank Viola -Skye, suppose that the leadership team of a local church of 100 committed members comes to you and asks, "We want to *fully* unleash the imagination inherent in the members of our congregation to express Jesus Christ in creative and effective ways, and we are willing to do ANYTHING you prescribe to accomplish this goal, no matter how drastic or radical it may be." What would you tell them?
The Gospel-Driven Church -What specific advice would you give the churchgoer who is growing more disillusioned by the moment with the deadening consumerism of his or her church? The closest you come to prescription in the book is saying it is about personal transformation as seed-planting, but imagine someone is telling you personally that their church has lost all sense of the gospel and discipleship in community and that they don't know what to do about it. What would you say to them?
Lee Coate -One, is the church responsible and even able to "set culture" as opposed to responding to it or attempting to remain relevant with it? (This question is based on the angst that many younger "professional" (pastors) Christians have expressed to me regarding their desire to see the church setting the pace in culture as opposed to merely reacting to it. Do you believe this is the churches calling and if so, is it actually possible? After experiencing the Religious Right, I'm not sure I want the church dictating government and/or the culture. In our conversations, art and music are usually mentioned as a way in which the church can regain the leading voice in culture.
Take Your Vitamin Z -Imagine you are talking to a new church planter. What are some practical things that you could communicate to him that boil down what you have learned in the process of writing your book that could help him guard against building a consumer church?
Staying Focused -In your book, you talk about the need to relearn the lost art of friendship (page 103). Coming from an introvert who finds Facebook and Twitter great tools to aid me in keeping up with people, can you please explain what the lost art of friendship is and how we would go about relearning it? Also, I've noticed that people from other cultures can spend hours and days sitting and sharing together. Is this required in this lost art?
Preaching Today -In The Divine Commodity, you explore how rampant consumerism has invaded the church. On a more specific level, how have you seen consumerism affect preaching, and how might today's preacher remedy any wrongs?
Off the Agenda -What do you say to the Christian leader who favors applying consumer-driven principles to ministry because they "work?"
suffering: self-denial or self-centered
in working with skye jethani and his book, the divine commodity, i have found him to be one of the most thoughtful articulate people i've had the pleasure of knowing. his book has proven to be one that i keep coming back to as well. consumerism cannot be fixed in 7 easy steps. it is something that must be consciously dealt with on daily (if not more so) basis. in the book, skye offers spiritual disciplines to combat our tendencies toward consumerism.
today is a blog tour for skye and all over the interwebs (see full list of other blogs participating below). the premise is a blogger asks skye a question from or about his book and skye answers it. then readers of said blog(s) comment and skye will be checking and answering any follow-up questions that may arise.
You speak of suffering as being transformative releasing our desires and following in the steps of Jesus. When we do suffer many people are looking for comfort or others to help them, and might not lead to self-denial, but self-centeredness. How would you suggest we think outwardly instead of inwardly in the midst of our suffering?
This is an interesting paradox of our faith. We are called by Christ to bear one another's burdens and to seek to alleviate the suffering of others, but when faced with trails and sufferings ourselves we are to meet them with joy and following willingly in the footsteps of Christ. Consider Jesus' own earthly life. Virtually everywhere he went he healed those suffering from both physical and social ailments, but he himself embraced suffering and hardship.
One of the most vivid examples of these two elements of Jesus' life side-by-side is when he's hanging on the cross and sees his mother and John below (John 19:26-27). Although suffering terribly, he still cares for his grieving mother by commanding John to "adopt" her into his home and care for her as his own mother. Even at the pinnacle of his pain, Jesus still finds the capacity to alleviate the pain of others.
I saw this in my grandfather when he was dying from leukemia many years ago. The disease caused him to lose his eyesight. While in the hospital, he spent time meeting with other blind patients undergoing treatment. He always saw himself as existing for the benefit of others, even in his pain.
As the Apostle Paul says, "To live is Christ, to die is gain." I believe he's acknowledging that while we live upon this earth our purpose, like Christ's, is to be a servant—to be an agent of his kingdom wherever we are. While in our pain and suffering we should be praying not merely for God to deliver us, and that is certainly a legitimate prayer, but we should also be asking him to illuminate the ways he wants us to use our circumstances to bless others. But apart from this sense of calling, this divine impulse, we are likely to turn inward and allow our pain to become an excuse for narcissism.

We know that it's not enough to simply show up to the social media party. Success in social media is found, in part, through conversations. You engage in conversations with your customers, clients, and prospects, to allow them to get to know you and your product/service better and be more likely to purchase that product or service thanks to the social conversation they participated in.
These conversations don't always result in a sale or a signed contract. And in some cases, the intended conversation can turn into an angry mod scene very quickly.

While traveling in North Dakota, you'll find all the usual suspects among area restaurants – pizza parlors, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, chain restaurants, and more. Adding to the array of cuisine in the Peace Garden State are culinary traditions from its Western days and ethnic heritage. You'll also encounter a few local specialties, from fish to fruit wines.
Western Grub
A number of Native American tribes roamed North Dakota's lands before pioneers arrived. Some of these tribes survived mainly by hunting buffalo, which they ate both fresh and dried as pemmican. Others farmed crops like squash, corn, beans, and sunflowers. Today, beans and sunflowers are still among the top crops in North Dakota, and several tribes raise buffalo. You'll find buffalo burgers and other buffalo dishes on some menus, but if you want real, authentic Native American foods, your best bet is to attend a powwow. A few you might want to consider include the Nue'ta Corn Festival, held in Mandan in August; Mid-Winter Pow-Wow, which takes place on the day of New Year's Eve in New Town; and the Twin Buttes Powwow in June.
During the frontier years, cattle ranching became big business in the western part of North Dakota. However, because of major blizzards during the winter of 1886 and 1887, 75 percent of the area's cattle died. Cattle ranching still takes place in the state, but the industry never fully recovered from the huge setback. This may explain why cowboy cooking is less prevalent in North Dakota than in many other Western and Southwestern states. Nonetheless, steakhouses are common, and plenty of menus offer chili, barbecue, and other Western favorites. Chuckwagon cooking contests even pop up on occasion.
German-Russian Foods
Beginning in the 1880s, many German-Russians immigrated to North Dakota over a period of about 80 years. German-Russians were Germans who lived in Russia, either because they had emigrated or been born there, but they had kept much of their German culture alive. They chose to settle in North Dakota partially because its prairie land and climate were quite similar to the Black Sea region that most of them were coming from. These pioneers survived by farming the land on their new homesteads.
Today, approximately 43 percent of North Dakota's population is of German-Russian or German descent. Many of their traditional foods remain popular in the state, particularly Knoepfla soup, Fleischküchle, and Kuchen. Knoeplfa soup is true comfort food, mixing dumplings and potatoes in a creamy chicken broth. Fleischküchle - basically a savory, deep-fried turnover - can contain a variety of fillings, but the most common is seasoned ground beef. For dessert, Kuchen is the hands-down favorite. Kuchen, as the German-Russians prepare it, has a cake-like crust on top of a custard filling, which often includes fruit. Some modern cooks add an American touch with ingredients like chocolate chips.
Travelers will find German-Russian dishes at numerous local restaurants. The town of Beulah is especially noted for their Fleischkuchle, which you'll find not only at restaurants, but fairs, festivals, a few roadside stands, and even the Dairy Queen. Many consider the Kroll's Kitchen restaurant chain in Fargo and Bismarck to be the best place for Knoepfla soup, as well as other German-Russian dishes. In New Leipzig, Leipziger Hof Restaurant is a popular gathering place to enjoy dishes like schnitzel (deep-fried, breaded meat, usually veal) and Russian-style borscht (soup made with cabbage, and often beets). Sauerkraut fans will love the town of Wishek, which calls itself the "Sauerkraut Capital of the World." For more than 80 years, the town has held an annual Sauerkraut Day in October, which currently draws about 1,000 visitors who come to sample the fermented cabbage dish.
What other German-Russian foods might you encounter in North Dakota? Sausages, spaetzle (tiny dumplings), strudel (flaky pastry with either savory or sweet fillings), and pierogies (baked or fried half-moon dumplings, which also contain either savory or sweet fillings, especially mashed potatoes or cheese; spelling varies). If you like pickles and happen upon German-Russian watermelon pickles, you may want to give them a try. Unlike the watermelon pickles most Americans are familiar with, the German-Russian version uses the flesh instead of the rind. Dill and red-hot peppers added to the brine give these watermelon pickles a kick.
Scandinavian Styles
Almost as many Scandinavians immigrated to North Dakota as did German-Russians, especially from 1905 to 1920. They came from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and especially Norway. Though the number of Icelandic immigrants was comparably small, more of them settled in North Dakota than in any other state. A popular Icelandic pioneer dish was skyr, a type of yogurt, typically served with blueberries.
Today, North Dakota's Scandinavian descendants number about 38 percent of the population, with an overwhelming amount of them claiming Norwegian heritage. Among the most common Norwegian dishes are lutefisk and lefse. Lutefisk is cod which has been preserved by soaking it in lye, and Norwegians generally either love it or hate it. In either case, it's considered an acquired taste, so lutefisk may be best left to travelers with a more-adventurous palate. On the other hand, lefse will appeal to just about anyone. This thin, flat potato bread is most often served rolled up with butter and sugar, but it can also be rolled around fillings, as you would use a tortilla.
Although the Scandinavian influence on cuisine is less than the German-Russian, you'll still see it here and there. Some restaurants feature foods like Swedish meatballs on their menus; others, like Happy Joe's Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor in Grand Forks, offer a smörgåsbord (buffet) at lunch or dinner. Scandinavian groups in the state also sometimes sponsor events and festivals where you can sample traditional dishes.
If you're really intent on eating a lot of Scandinavian food during your trip, you won't want to miss the Norsk Høstfest, held around the beginning of October each year in Minot. The largest Scandinavian event in North America, Norsk Høstfest features a wide variety of authentic fare to enjoy in between entertainment and cultural programs. In fact, the festival reports that many people come just for the food.
Those who can't make Norsk Høstfest may want to check out the Scandinavian Hjemkomst Festival, which takes place in June. It's also a large event, held just across the river from Fargo in Moorhead, Minnesota. The two cities consider themselves to be one metropolitan area, and many of the area's Scandinavian groups include members from both cities.
Local Specialties
The land and rivers of North Dakota also produce a few local specialties. The official state fruit, the chokecherry, adds a flavorful touch to a number of food items. For instance, there's chokecherry butter, akin to an apple butter. Chokecherries are also used in jellies, fudge, barbecue sauce, and more.
With North Dakota's vast, unspoiled lands and its lakes and rivers, hunting and fishing are popular pastimes. Local fish you may catch yourself or find at a local restaurant include Northern pike, walleye, bass, perch, several types of trout, catfish, and chinook salmon. Among wild game, there's duck, geese, pheasants, grouse, partridge, wild turkey, deer, elk, moose, antelope, and bighorn sheep. If you want to eat wild game, your best bet is to hunt it yourself, but a few restaurants here and there serve it.
In addition, North Dakota boasts a few wineries, all of which offer tours and tastings. For a number of grape wines like Merlot and Riesling, the main establishment is Red Trail Vineyards. Dakota Hills Winery produces a few grape wines, though most of their wines are native fruit wines and honey wines. Maple River Winery and Point of View Winery produce only non-grape wines, mainly fruit and honey wines. Fruit wines you'll find include chokecherry, crab apple, wild plum, elderberry, apple, raspberry, and many more. Rhubarb wine is another variety, and Maple River also makes dandelion wine and pumpkin wine. You may be hard-pressed to find these wines outside of North Dakota, so if you love wine, stopping by a winery would be a fun and tasty addition to your trip.
When vacationing in the Peace Garden State, you'll have plenty of dining options to choose from. And trying some of the state's local cuisine, whether steak, kuchen, lefse, or chokecherry jelly, will give you a real taste of North Dakota.

But as clergy and good clinicians have listened to more stories like these, they have heard a new narrative, one that signals changes to the brain along with what in less spiritually challenged times might be called a shadow on the soul. It is the tale of disintegrating vets, but also of seemingly squared-away former soldiers and spit-shined generals shuttling between two worlds: ours, where thou shalt not kill is chiseled into everyday life, and another, where thou better kill, be killed, or suffer the shame of not trying. There is no more hellish commute.[more inside]
"Habsburg! A vile being, heir to an illustrious name, born to a fortune, to honours, to soldiers, to prestige, and who finished as the lowest of Montmartre pimps, living from the money of a poor and unstable girl whom he sent to commit his foul deeds in his place!"That was after this Polish scion of the most famous family in Europe and commander of a soi disant "Ukrainian Legion" failed to finagle the crown as a Socialist king of The Ukraine, and became instead a patron of the rent boys of Paris who "handled women by necessity and men for pleasure". And all that before he turned successively a Nazi sympathizer, a British spy, and finally came, for the first and last time, to Ukraine's capital Kiev as a victim of Stalin and the Twentieth Century.

Thomas Hearne was a contemporary with Rooker. It was a custom at this period for topographical watercolor artists to travel abroad with British Embassies to foreign countries and with Governors to Colonial possessions. Photography had not yet been invented, and the drawings by these artists were the only means by which the majority of inhabitants of this island were able to obtain some idea of places beyond the sea. Hearne went to the Leeward Isles, as draughtsman to the Governor, and produced records of the scenery there. Afterwards he executed a number of drawings in this country, some of which were engraved in "Antiquities of Great Britain." View of Gloucester is an example of his accurate drawing, though somewhat weak in colouring.

Dietary Guidelines
To help reduce your risk of chronic disease, a balanced diet is recommended. It contains a wide variety of nutritious foods while taking care with the amount of foods consumed that contain fat, salt, added sugar and alcohol.
Dietary Guidelines for Australian adults
Eating well for good health
Nutrition requirements
Dietary Guidelines for Australian adultsThe Dietary Guidelines for Australian Adults, amongst other recommendations, encourage people to enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods:
- eat plenty of vegetables, legumes and fruits
- eat plenty of cereals including breads, rice, pasta and noodles preferably wholegrain
- include lean meat, fish, poultry, and/or alternatives such as eggs, legumes and nuts
- include milk, yoghurts and cheeses and/or alternatives. Low-fat varieties should be chosen where possible and
- drink plenty of water
- limit saturated fat and moderate total fat intake
- choose foods low in salt
- limit your alcohol intake if you choose to drink and
- consume only moderate amounts of sugars, and foods and drinks containing added sugars.
Eating well for good health
Things to do
- Eat more fruit and vegetables; at least two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables every day. The diagram below illustrates what one serve of fruit or vegetables is:
- Keep a record of your daily food intake for three days, and ensure you include at least one weekday and one day on the weekend to see if your eating habits have changed. Download the weekly meal planner/food diary to track and plan your meals.
- Eat regular meals – and don't forget breakfast. If you skip meals, you'll be more likely to eat high fat, high sugar food when you're hungry. Planning meals ahead can help you ensure that you eat regular meals
- Eat more fibre-containing foods such as oats, wheat, bran, legumes, vegetables and fruit by including these in your meals and snacks
- Drink plenty of water. Water is the best and cheapest drink. Water provides the fluid we need, without the added kilojoules or caffeine found in many other drinks
Things to limit
- Consider your portion sizes
- Eat less processed food
- Limit your alcohol intake if you choose to drink. Alcohol is energy dense and can contribute to weight gain
- Limit your intake of 'extra foods' like unhealthy snacks and take-away foods
Nutrition requirementsThe total amount of food that you need each day to provide you with your energy and nutrient needs will vary depending on your age, sex and activity levels, and whether or not you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia provides recommended dietary intake levels (RDIs) for energy and the various nutrients across various conditions, age and sex categories. The RDIs are specified in the Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand.
Your specific nutrition needs may vary slightly from those recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council due to genetic differences and/or the amount of physical activity that you undertake, compared to the overall population for your age and gender.
However, in general, eating a balanced diet and following the seven golden rules for healthy eating will provide you with the RDIs that you need. Additional information on how to eat a balanced diet that provides you with your RDIs for energy and nutrients from the various food groups is outlined in the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. For further specific nutrition advice on an individual basis, this is best sought from an accredited practising dietitian-nutritionist.
