Why does
Crystal River sing southern gospel music? Well, the main reason is
because we've been born again!
For us,
southern gospel music more than any other style, encourages us and
helps us to stay focused on our relationship with God. Its message
is simple and straightforward: God loves us… He will forgive our
sins… salvation is through Christ alone… peace, joy and eternal life
are His free gifts to those who trust Him. That's the message that
changed each of our lives, and we believe it's the only
message that can still change lives today!
It is our
prayer that people may be richly blessed and that Jesus Christ will
be glorified in everything we do.

"Disconnect" is a film made very much in the post-"Crash" vein of worried social narratives: multiple characters orbiting around a core of panic. Here the issue is the Internet and all the electronic devices that promise to bring us together yet push us further apart. It's a pressing topic, obviously. I don't know anyone who doesn't wrestle daily with the ethics and conundrums of our new wired society — what we gain in connectedness and give up in human connection. The movie has a ripped-from-the-headlines urgency that would make it a good place-setter before a PTA meeting or panel discussion, and lot of people may mistake the importance of the subject with excellence in filmmaking. And "Disconnect" is far from a bad movie. It's just better at melodrama than drama.
Still, it pokes at our modern discontents with a fervor that provokes. Two callow high-school bullies, Jason (Colin Ford) and Frye (Aviad Bernstein) invent a fake Facebook girl to dupe a gentle misfit classmate named Ben (Jonah Bobo); one of those photos that Mom told you never to send out on a cellphone ends up making the rounds of high school, and tragedy ensues. Jason's father, Mike (Frank Grillo), is a private detective specializing in Internet fraud; he comes to the aid of a troubled couple, Cindy (Paula Patton) and Derek (Alexander Skarsgård), whose bank accounts have been emptied by persons unknown.

Every man with a grill likes to think of himself as a grillmaster, but you'd be surprised how many guys think that all the need to know to host a 'cue is which end of the tongs to pick up.
Not true.
Before you throw that end-of-summer bash on that brand-new Weber, make sure you're familiar with these principles:
Barbecue and grilling aren't the same thing: Most people use the words "barbecue" and "grilling" interchangeably, but they're actually two quite different cooking techniques. Barbecue, strictly speaking, refers to a method of cooking using indirect, low heat over a long period of time -- i.e., "low and slow." Think pulled pork, smoked ribs, fork-tender beef brisket. Grilling, on the other hand, uses high and direct heat for a much shorter period. You're talking steaks, hamburgers, and hot dogs. A grill is what you do your barbecuing or grilling on.
First, do no harm: The physician's cardinal rule applies to cooking on a grill, too. For most recipes, you want to handle the ingredients as little as possible. Hamburger meat, for example, becomes dense and rubbery if you mash it up too much as you form the patties. And sticking a fork in the steak to turn it over is going to leave you with a hole-filled slab of meat with all those precious juices leaking out.
Know if you're going gas or grill: Charcoal grills burn hotter and impart a particular flavor many prize, but they also have to be fed regularly to maintain heat. Gas grills are more consistent in their heat, but don't get as hot as charcoal grills. Cooking on gas can require different methods and timing than on a charcoal grill, so study your recipe carefully beforehand, lest you serve your guests a salmonella salad.
Have the right tools: Forget the fancy pepper-popper trays, patty-shapers, and the cast-iron brand that burns your initials into your sausages You need at least two pairs of tongs (one for raw meat, one for cooked), heat-resistant mitts, a clean tray to put your food on when it's ready, a roll of aluminum foil, and a kitchen thermometer to make sure meats like chicken and pork have been heated enough to be safe. Once you've got those down, then you can think about the fancy gadgets.
Don't peek: When you're barbecuing, maintaining the heat in the grill is all-important. Every time you crack open the lid to see how the meat is doing, the temperature drops and has to take time to regain its heat. Doing less is doing more in barbecue.
Don't drown everything in barbecue sauce: For God's sake, if you're going to have all your dishes swimming in that bottle of hickory-flavored corn syrup you bought at the supermarket, you might as well just have microwaved it all.

Bryan's shearwater
The Bryan's shearwater (Puffinus bryani) is a species of shearwater that may occur around the Hawaiian Islands. It is the smallest species of shearwater and is black and white with a bluish gray beak and blue tarsi. First collected in 1963 and thought to be a little shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) it was determined using DNA analysis to be distinct in 2011. It is rare and possibly threatened and there is little information on its breeding or non-breeding ranges. It is named after Edwin Horace Bryan Jr. a former curator of the B. P. Bishop Museum at Honolulu.[1]
On February 7, 2012, the DNA tests on six specimens found in Ogasawara alive and dead between 1997 and 2011 determined that they were Bryan's shearwaters.[2][3] It is assumed that Bryan's shearwaters still survive in the uninhabited islands.

From Captain America to Spider-Man to X-Men, this summer is jam-packed with superhero movies. Here are some of our favorite ways for you to include your most beloved comic book character in your wedding.
This bride is so obsessed with Batman that in high school, she wore a Bat-Signal belt buckle nearly every day, and her fellow students took to calling her Batgirl — so it was only natural for her to gear up for her wedding day as well.

Underneath their formalwear, they donned Batman t-shirts.
This groom chose to include Batman in a more subtle way — on the face of his watch.
Wear superhero cufflinks as a subtle nod to your favorite character.

This groom's superhero of choice is Nightwing (the first Robin's eventual superhero identity). He and his groomsmen channeled the character's blue and black costume for their attire.
Wear a T-shirt of your favorite superhero underneath your wedding-day attire; reveal your true identity whenever you see fit.
Including your pet in the wedding? Dress him up in a cute themed costume.

This bride and groom had comic versions of themselves designed for their wedding-day stationery.
Name your tables after common comic book action phrases.
Display action bubbles throughout the room.
Include cartoon versions of yourselves in your décor.
"Super bride" and "super groom" displayed messages to each other on their chairs.

Create signature drinks named after your favorite superheroes.
For dessert, this couple had an ice cream truck stashed with superhero-themed treats pull up. The bride's choice? A Bubbles popsicle from The Powerpuff Girls series.
Place baskets full of Batman-wrapped chocolates throughout your venue for a sweet treat.

The wedding cake was designed to reflect Gotham City— topped with a pair of action figures and the Bat-Signal, of course.
The cake set and toasting glasses were personalized with Batman comic book covers.
A Captain America shield stands out even more on a naked chocolate cake. Add action figures around the delicious dessert for good measure.

If the cure for mortality is found within your lifetime, would you go for it and become immortal?
On the one hand, we're not made for eternal youth. And one could argue that knowing life is short (or just limited) is what makes it worth living. And perhaps death is a major spiritual part of life, whether you believe in a soul or in a metaphorical one.
On the other hand, how is aging yet not another disease? Dying at age 80 is no more a "natural" death than being eaten alive by a bear or killed by malaria. In fact, "old age" is probably the most unnatural cause of death, statistically. So all that's probably just a cultural habit : diseases are evil but aging is good. Another point is that, well, things have changed. Perhaps our new environment makes it suitable for immortal youths.
And of course, becoming immortal only means that you die when YOU chose to die.
So would you go for the injection or not, and how do you rationalize your decision?

Oct 28 2013: Are you suggesting Jeff, that I might be a "grown up responsible person?" Yikes!!! Well, I am in some respect...AND....I like to recognize the child-like curious, playful, joyful parts of my "self" as well:>)
You make a good point....I wonder if all those who accept the magic injection, which guarantees immortality, would be willing to maintain lifestyles which might support good health? We have a lot of people now (especially in western cultures, where obesity is rampant) who apparently are not thinking about taking care of their body/mind.
I wonder if this magic injection of immortality would encourage MORE responsibility for taking good care of the body/mind? Or LESS responsibility? The magic injection sounds like another "quick fix" WITHOUT taking responsibility for oneself.
Oct 28 2013: I am a very practical person Gerald, and I perceive my body as a vehicle. Regardless of any other beliefs, the body carries us from point A, to point B in this life experience....does it not?
It walks, talks and has operating systems.....just like my Ford Ranger....except my ranger rolls, rather than walks, and it doesn't talk much:>)
Just like the ranger, I put good fuel in the body/mind, maintain it, get it inspected every once in awhile, and make sure it's in good running order.....as healthy as possible:>)
Oct 28 2013: There is proof, Gerald, that the ford ranger is not eternal....especially in Vermont.....where substances (including salt) are used on the road to control icy conditions. I have a great relationship with the ford ranger....I maintain it well, and it works pretty well for me. I also have a great relationship with my body/mind, which I maintain well.....here....and now:>)

Man I love the "rules" you put behind all this! I've never seen anything like it. Are the characters self-aware of all this or is it all unspoken between them?
Shucks, thank you! c:
The characters are aware of whether or not they are a muse or notion, yes, kind of similarly to how we are aware of someone's ethnicity - kind of. It's the only close example I can think to equate it to. There are some people who aren't exactly sure what kind of notion or muse they are since it can get pretty vague (take Mona, for example, who is the story's best example of someone who doesn't know exactly what she is good at or what kind of notion she is, since she seems to have no definitive skills or tendencies) but they do usually know which side of the divide they are on between the two.
angiebeast said: 7 for Mona--I'd be interested to know if anything annoys her at all, haha. And 33 and 34.
7.) What are Mona's pet peeves?
Believe it or not, she does have 'em! Mona hates drama-mongering - people who try to make a big deal out of everything, especially if it involves getting people to lash out against each other or take sides - she really doesn't do well with conflict. People who breathe loudly through their mouth. She also hates that squeaky sound that styrofoam makes.
33.) What holidays are celebrated here?
I am so happy that someone asked this. :D The imagination space most definitely does have holidays, but much like their weather, some of it coincides with the collective moods of those down on the physical plane. To try and, contrary to the trend, NOT make this too much of a rambling text wall like so many of my other answers (I am so sorry you guys, I swear.. I just don't have inquisitive audiences very much and I get carried away! <3) I will just TELL you what the holidays are and what they celebrate! Hearth (which is about the only one that is not for accomplishments or self-betterment but instead honors family and friends, and tends to include LARGE but private gatherings, gift-giving and potlucks), Ascension (normally actually occurs on one season out of imagination plane's three season cycle, when a representative comes down from the next plane to welcome audience with select citizens - there is ALWAYS a parade on the day-of and lots of congratulatory parties leading up to this one), Enrichment Appreciation (a day given to remember those that have willingly and selflessly given up their time in imagination space to be rerouted down to the physical plane in order to inhabit a human as a kind of "special energy" until they have achieved enough positivity to be reborn on the next plane up… sometimes people barbecue or spend time in the outdoors, while other more somber types will lay flowers and other tokens of affection in the front courtyards of Planar Descension Stations), and Muse's Day (it's like Mother's or Father's Day but… well, you get the idea).
34.) Are there any important political standards or practices?
There is a court system and also a monetary system in place that is regulated by a government of sorts (with its main offices in New Causal) but I would be straight-up lying to you if I said I had it all fully nailed down into place. I really just know the basics! There is a democratic government in place where citizens of any of the three cities can vote representatives into office to help manage things like construction and maintenance, public transportation, criminal justice (they do have a police force to make sure DECENCY is upheld, even if violent crime is very rare), etc. Representing in public office is about the best thing you can do for yourself next to ascendency, so there are lots of high-ranking notions helping make tough decisions in New Causal. c:
miniyuna said: Story Elements: #17! :D
17.) Do you have a "pitch" worked out for this project? If so, let's hear it! If not, there is no time like the present to come up with one…
Hahahahaha. Mini. With the tough questions! I guess… I probably have two pitches. There is the long pitch, and the short pitch! The long pitch is: "This story takes place between three cities in the imagination space, on a planar level that is above Earth but a lot like it - but don't worry so much about that, the more important thing going on that you should know is that this is about a girl who is trying to figure out what to do with her life, and wondering if there is something out there that she will not only be GOOD at, but that will make her happy. This is like a children's book - full of easy-to-relate-to situations and problems - that was written for teens and twenty-somethings - so also full of hipsters, zany pop culture and confusing relationships." The short pitch is: "This is post-high school Breakfast Club with a surrealist twist."
closetextrovert said: 2 (for Bea), 18, 29, and 35!
2.) Does Bea have any siblings?
Bea has, in fact, 5 siblings! She has an older brother named Emmanuel, two younger brothers named Elijah and Edmund, and two younger sisters named Vanessa and Annabella. All of them are different music muses. The Warden household was very noisy musical!
18.) Are there any authors, artists, stories or other elements that have offered inspirations for this story?
I have the answer to this one right here! c:
29.) Is the environment a character in-and-of-itself in this story, or is it inconsequential as far as the focus of character relationships goes?
This is a tough question, since in a way, it's a bit of both! I would say yes, being that each one is representing a plane in the same way each character is representing an inspiration kind of does make them a character. Each of the three cities that the story covers (Ether Bay, Santa Astra and New Causal) all have specific traits, values and overall attitudes that differ from the other. On the other hand, the fact that the cities are all unique and possessing their own flair and providing the necessary setting for this PARTICULAR cast doesn't, I think, have any bearing on the character's relationships or the main narrative. Man, I hope that makes sense to say it that way! :c
35.) How about religious or spiritual beliefs?
There aren't really any spiritual beliefs, per se, but there are a few different spiritual ones! I know I keep rambling about ascendency - here is how that works. Trust me, it does tie in! There is a type of building that would be considered very similar to a city hall in Santa Astra and New Causal that is called a Planar Ascension Station. It's where you go to register births and deaths, enroll into school, and a smattering of other paperwork-related mundanities (not a word, bear with me), but also a place where, on specially designated days, a representative from the next set of planes up (ones that are even higher than New Causal and not visitable by those from imagination or mental space) will come down, name those that have qualified for "higher education", and grant audience with the previous nominees. During audience, you are allowed ONE question - any question you want EXCEPT "What happens when you go to the next plane up?" or any clever attempt to weasel your way around this question while basically asking the same thing. You CAN, however, ask to ASCEND to the next plane, and that is kind of the idea. It's such a great honor to ascend, like fifteen college graduations plus six retirements, that very few ever use their audience for anything else! It's traditional that way. VEERING BACK to the actual question - there are, of course, many different spiritual theories about what MIGHT happen once you go up there! Some think you become able to influence all forms of life however you see fit, as well as create new ones. Some think you gain full knowledge of the universe, the meaning behind all things. Some think you become a more COMPLETE muse once you ascend, someone who is able to control the entire creative process in a person. Some think it's probably a lot like the current imagination space but with all-day happy hour. Aaaaaand so-on and hence-forth!
deepredroom said: You want some questions??? Here's your DAMN questions! 1, 15, 18 and 27!
I did ask for it, didn't I! D:
1.) Tell a bit about a main protagonist and a main antagonist? If your story doesn't really have "good guys and bad guys", tell about two characters with opposing viewpoints!
Hum! Well, I can tell you about Sam and Toby…! They're both protagonists but have opposing viewpoints. Sam is of the mind-set that you must be diligent towards improving your skills, and that you will be rewarded for this by moving up in the world, with the ultimate goal being ascendency! If you make it to the next plane, you have achieved all that you could hope to do, and it won't matter what your relationships with others are, since they cannot ultimately bring you any success - it is what he thinks helps someone reach their stage of content. Toby on the other hand is camped on the other side of the fence - happiness isn't always about your successes. Sometimes it's about knowing the right people, enjoying yourself, or even just having a really great sandwich. It doesn't take a skill-set to be fulfilled, in his eyes - it just takes the right mindset and acceptance of one's self.
15.) How long have you been working on this story?
I really started first thinking about it in September 2010, and it's been developing since then. I have probably spent more time on it than it really needs to be drafted, but it never hurt to have a little polish, right? c:
18.) Are there any authors, artists, stories or other elements that have offered inspirations for this story?
Anything I do is always at least partially inspired by a quote of Alan Moore's that, broken down for posterity, says a story should be enjoyable for people who simply want to jump in and read it at face-value, but still include content that can be researched and deepened for those who want something a little more! Some of my other inspirations for Muse Mentor are the visual styles of most Hayao Miyazaki films, the Our Lady Peace album "Gravity" (I don't care if anyone thinks the album is a sell-out for OLP or anything else - settle down, hipsters), and really, my own experiences watching people transition from their late teens to mid-20's. Becoming a grown-up.
27.) Does social hierarchy play a huge role, i.e. cliques, clubs, clans, or other specific groupings or separations of people?
You are very astute for asking this - it does indeed play a huge role! SORRY IN ADVANCE for text wall, oh my God. There are basically two MAIN types of people in the story, and it all trickles down from there. There are muses, and there are notions. Most people are notions, that is to say, a random impulse or feeling that anyone can experience. They run the gamut from jealousy (Ashley) to bad impulses (Ace) to self-motivation (Toby) - it's almost limitless! However, for those who are muses, this means they are a specific TYPE of impulse that allows people to express themselves, often creatively! There are main types like art, writing, music and artisan, and then they can get broken down from there (drawing, painting, sculpture and photography are just a few of the sub-categories for an art muse, for example!). Just to give another specific example, Esteban is a writing muse, but specifically represents solitary dedication. He is what might make a writer choose to stay in and draft a few more chapters rather than hit the town. Muses are regarded as a much more desirable role in society than a notion, since they are the only ones who can (in a way) leave an actual tangible impression on the physical plane - if you help inspire a human to paint a picture, invent a special recipe or strum a ballad, it's much more substantial than being the suspicious nature that makes them go through their husband's phone to see if he has been texting his secretary. I could go on, but I think I will stuff it for another day, haha.
Thanks for the questions! c:
fidzyo said: Also number 22!! 8D
22.) Do you have a favorite place in this world? It can, again, be a city, country, specific building, or anything else!
You know, I think that I do, haha. I really like Ether Bay, which is the city on the next plane down from Santa Astra (where the story MAINLY takes place). The etheric plane (what Ether Bay is representative of) is meant to be a type of matter that we cannot see, but that can exist within the physical plane - think of it as like auras and spirits. Ether Bay is renowned for the most beautiful skylines and (slightly chilly!) shores, dotted with curiosity shops and poppies. While the buildings are very simple (lots of cape cod and colonial), there is a kind of simple, homespun charm in THIS city that I don't think is really there in Santa Astra or New Causal. It feels much more comfy! I took lots of inspiration for Ether Bay from time spent in Monterey and Half-Moon Bay.
fidzyo said: Hmmmmm lets see.... Numero 2 with Esteban!!! 8D (of course) and number 9?
I can always count on Fidz for the Esteban questions. <3
2.) Does Esteban have any siblings?
He does, in fact! Esteban has an older brother named Javier who lives in New Causal. The two don't get along very well - that's not to say that they fight, but Javier has always been very work-oriented and simply does not speak with his family often. Being that Esteban pursued writing and academia and Javier pursued management and organization work, the two have some pretty significant differences in what makes them happy.
9.) Can you list some traits you have in common with your cast? How about things that are completely different?
I am really of the mind-set that just about any character you write probably has at least a bit of you in there, even if it's a very well-hidden part or something INCREDIBLY tiny or insignificant! Mona genuinely likes people (even against her best interests) and you know? I do, too. I can't help it. No matter how many times I have been let down by people and really WANTED to write off the entire lot as scumbags, I just can't! I think people are pretty incredible. We also both tend to be more critical of ourselves than anyone else. However, while Mona is a social butterfly, I have more in common with Esteban in that I like to observe people from a distance, and tend to keep to myself as much as I can. I'm asocial by choice. Sometimes I can be judgmental, as well. It's not a nice habit. :c I don't want this question to ramble on for too long and bore the pants off you guys, but Addy is actually the character I have the most in common with (nurturer type, emotionally invested, self-deprecating, toggles between proud and hateful of own work… etc. etc.) and I am also someone who likes to listen to others, like Toby. As for some stuff that is WHOLLY different, I lack the amiable go-to-it!ness of characters like Mona and Addy, find it impossible to be as laid back and composed as Bea, am not even a quarter of the cynic that Esteban is, and the application of manipulation that someone like Ashley can employ seems so slimy to me. I also have a tough time depending on others to keep myself afloat even when I really SHOULD, probably, which is an effortless affair for Ace.
thetroglodyte said: Then let's start at the beginning, shall we: 1?
The beginning is a good place to start! c: I answered 1 for Mona and Ashley over yonder, but the great thing about this question is I can answer it as many times as needed with different characters!
1.) Tell a bit about a main protagonist and a main antagonist? If your story doesn't really have "good guys and bad guys", tell about two characters with opposing viewpoints!
Esteban is certainly a main protagonist, and I suppose the next closest thing to an antagonist would be Ace, although it's kind of an odd circumstance. Ace isn't really a bad person, and she is not actively trying to foil anyone else in the cast.. it's just that she conducts herself a little differently, and it tends to throw a wrench in things. But let's start with Esteban, who is an odd duck of a protagonist, anyway - he is not very social at all, and is a loner by nature, but not the enigmatic "cool" type of loner. He finds most other people to be shallow or judgmental (making HIMSELF judgmental in turn without realizing it) and thus tends to not bother, at all. While he is very intelligent and is naturally inclined to be studious and work hard towards his goals, he is a lonely person who keeps secretly hoping to be proven wrong about his preconceptions of others. He is actually TECHNICALLY the person the story is named after - The Muse Mentor. Being an accomplished writer muse who is up for ascendency (we'll talk about that later), means he is considered very successful. Ace is rambunctious and loud, completely the OPPOSITE of judgmental - she doesn't really care much what someone else does or how they do it so long as they stay out of her way and don't impose on her. This is interesting, considering she herself imposes on others constantly, needing couches to crash on, five bucks to borrow, "just one more" drink, and good alibis. Ace is similar to Mona in that she isn't a muse - she represents another type of inspiration that can exist in the imagination space; a bad impulse. If I told you any more about either of them, I'd probably be spoiling my story, so let's leave it there! :D
thetroglodyte said: 13!!
13.) This might seem an odd question, but are there any colors you affiliate with certain characters?
Mmmmost definitely! %D Mona I always think of peach or yellow. Esteban is warm gray. Bea is gold tones! Ashley is red. Black for Ace, pale pink for Addy, cobalt blue for Sam. I know nobody knows much about Toby from my character-lineup sketch, just yet, but pine green.
frankrmb said: 1) and 12) Addy and Mona of course ;D
1.) Tell a bit about a main protagonist and a main antagonist? If your story doesn't really have "good guys and bad guys", tell about two characters with opposing viewpoints!
The mainest-of-main protagonists is really Mona, although Esteban can also hold that title. I guess the most aptly-labeled antagonist would be Ashley, although I am of the mindset that there aren't really heroes or villains in this story - although an antagonist isn't really the same thing as a villain, anyway, I suppose… ANYWAY you didn't come here for tangents, you want answers! Mona is a friendly but unaccomplished girl who wants to try and figure out what she is meant to do with her life. Her view of the world through rose-colored glasses is both her best and worst quality - it allows her to see the good in things while sometimes missing the truth. She is incredibly naive, but sincere and earnest (if not easily discouraged). Ashley, on the other hand, is sociable but not necessarily friendly. While very intelligent, her goals are mostly possession instead of enrichment - relationships (while of paramount importance to her) are more accessories than responsibilities.
12.) Describe the relationship between Addy and Mona? If it's very spoiler-y, just tell what you can!
Addy views Mona as that "kid sister" figure that everyone wants but can rarely actually find - someone younger than you who needs guidance and will graciously accept it! She can also be a bit of a mother hen to Mona for this reason, wanting to make sure no one disheartens her from her newfound pursuits. Mona really adores Addy's enthusiasm and warmth, as both are outwardly positive people, but sometimes Mona finds herself feeling sorry for her. This is all I dare say! c:

Today, in the buildup to its f8 conference, Facebook is rolling out another key new feature: a one-way follow model called Subscriptions. It's sort of like Twitter, sort of like Google+, and
it massages one of the service's biggest pain points for users who have a lot of friends (or who want to share their status updates broadly).
Here's how it works. As you browse around the site, you'll notice that some users have a button at the top of their profile that says 'Subscribe'. Click it, and you'll start seeing that user's status updates in your News Feed, just as if you were their Facebook friend. But there's a big difference: unlike normal Facebook friends, the people you subscribe to don't have to approve your subscription request, and there's no limit on how many people can subscribe to any given user.
Facebook says the feature will appeal to anyone looking to reach a broader audience, like journalists, artists, and political figures. To start sharing your own posts publicly, head to the new tab beneath your profile photo that says Subscriptions. Click it, and you'll have the option to broadcast your public updates to anyone who has subscribed to you. Note that you'll only syndicate updates that are marked Public; updates shared with Friend Lists won't be seen by your subscribers.

Last February, Nebraska Wesleyan University held its first Empty Bowls event, a soup luncheon fundraiser that raised nearly $7,000 for the Food Bank of Lincoln's BackPack Program.
Empty Bowls organizers are preparing for another successful event but first they want to see the fruits of their labor.
For the first time, Nebraska Wesleyan students, faculty and staff are volunteering with the BackPack Program each Friday at Clinton Elementary School. The BackPack Program started over five years ago at Clinton Elementary when 50 backpacks full of food were sent home with students so they wouldn't go hungry over the weekend.
The program has grown every year, to the 2,066 backpacks it is distributing this year to 22 public and four parochial schools in Lincoln and to schools in 12 area communities.
Nebraska Wesleyan decided to volunteer this year due in part to its successful Empty Bowls fundraiser, said Lauren Williams, Vista Volunteer. The NWU community wanted to meet those who the fundraiser was benefitting.
For nearly 30 minutes each Friday, NWU students help line up the elementary school children, give them a backpack stuffed full of staple food items, and send them home for the weekend.
Williams admitted she was a little worried about finding enough volunteers to help through the entire school year. But her worries didn't last long.
"I always have students asking if I have enough help…if they can please come help," she said.
Faculty and staff became interested too and were quick to volunteer when extra help was needed while NWU students were on fall break.
Now the campus is preparing for its Empty Bowls luncheon and is once again enlisting the help of elementary, middle and high school students, church groups, rehab patients, local artists and others to make more than 500 ceramic bowls for the event. Empty Bowls participants will be served a lunch of soup and bread and will take home unique ceramic bowls of their choosing as a reminder of world hunger.
The soup luncheon will be held Saturday, February 27 at Nebraska Wesleyan's dining hall. Tickets go on sale in January.
And in the meantime, the campus will continue to fill those backpacks.
"It's a great opportunity," said Williams. "Once they volunteer with the BackPack Program they will want to keep coming back."
Anyone interested in making a ceramic bowl can contact Lisa Lockman.
Faculty and staff who are interested in volunteering with the BackPack Program during the University's winter break can contact Lauren Williams.

New control measures stir opposition
Friday, September 19, 2014, 23:50 (GMT + 9)
The fisheries authorities have decided to implement new measures to regulate the fish weighing system due to alleged irregularities detected in factories, but they have generated reject from fishermen and processors.
This decision was taken by The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA), who together with the Garda, Naval Service and National Standards Authority of Ireland last January carried out inspection of fish factories and reported the detection of "irregularities" of varying degrees of seriousness, The Irish Times informed.
According to these authorities, it was found out that weighing systems could be "deliberately manipulated" – although evidence of this was only found on one of the premises.
Therefore, permits have been temporarily suspended and it has been determined that all pelagic (herring/mackerel) fish must be weighed on ... FULL STORY

Standout pickups — from horsepower and torque to mileage and towing.
this whole article was poorly written....
This is another lame written article to gain some attention, so to have favor with the website advertisers. After all, if websites don't get the public's attention, then advertisers won't pay the websites.
With that said, it's difficult to comprehend how can the two be compared. Rollercoaster rides are affordable, supercars are not. Rollercoasters has the riders fully aware of the controlled and predictable course the ride will take in a one-way direction, with the coaster cars locked into the tracks, and the riders strapped in fully restrained.
Supercars are on open roads, with all sorts of uncontrolled elements, including other motorists traveling in the opposite direction. A driver of a supercar can inflict property damage and harm onto others, a rollercoaster does not.
With that said, I've ridden motorcycles for years, which puts a person on a more precipitous danger, and thrill, level than a rollercoaster or supercar. One particular experience I had with a motorcycle ride made even the most extreme rollercoasters seem tame in comparison: One night I was caught in the middle of a storm squall on the Golden Gate Bridge. The wind, rain, fog, and motorists traveling in the opposite direction, which I could have easily been pushed into from a gust of wind, made that near two mile riding stretch one of the closest to the edge of death I've ever experienced. It also made all succeeding rollercoaster rides very tame in comparison. So, now I can save my time and money with skipping such amusement park rides.

If the parents were capable of any of this, their kids wouldn't have become abusive jerks in the first place
Agree with Laowei – while this is a very thoughtful article, it's astonishing how many parents respond with something along the lines of "Well YOUR child needs to grow a thicker skin" or "Life just isn't always kind and my child shouldn't be punished for having self confidence and being a go-getter." Wonder where the bullying behavior comes from…
This is really helpful in general. Dealing with kids can be hard and I like the idea of having them write down their version – even if it's not bullying – sometimes it's when something doesn't go the way they thought it might or thought it should. Thanks!
Particularly when it comes to issues at school, don't assume the school is giving you the accurate or complete story. And don't assume the school's rules make any sense to you. Stay calm and get the facts… from everybody including your child. In our house, lying is the highest offense, and that is a critical boundary to set.
When I was in 7th grade a million years ago, I had an English teacher who didn't like me. She gave me horrible grades and gave me horrible comments on my report cards, far worse than the quality of my work deserved. I caused plenty of trouble in my teen years, and got punished for it plenty of times, but in this case I kept explaining to my parents that it wasn't me. They finally went to meet the teacher… and came home and told me I was right. They took their observations to the principal / administrators, and it turned out this particular teacher had a history of "picking on" one or two students every year. That I still remember that incident today shows how impactful it was — I gained a new appreciation for my parents (though I didn't stop causing trouble, and still got some pretty severe punishments when I was caught [we had a cat o nine tails in our house back then]).
It's a lesson I carry to this day with my children. If my children are telling me the truth about a situation at school, then I'm going to follow up before meting out punishment. As I said above, they already know that if I find out they lied to me, their punishment will be an order-of-magnitude worse.
You could just beat the cr@p out of your kid.
You could just beat the cr@p out of your kid.
You tell him "If you don't stop, then one day the kid is going to show up at school with an AR-15 and he'll be looking for you."
bring him or her to school and share of their most embarrassing moments with the whole school that way they mus stop
I think if someone actually said this -"Please, I want to understand what you are telling me, and I can' t when you are so upset (or angry) and talking to me in this tone. Do you want to take five minutes and call me back so we can talk calmly about this? I want to write down what you are saying, and it's really hard to follow you when you are so upset." I think this would cause even more issues. It sounds condiscening & antaginstic. It would casuse many people to be even more upset & this could get worse.
Just buy Total Transformation and your child will be a compliant little Borg in no time soon.
Let the kid be a bully. Bullies are very successful in the workplace. Today's bullies are tomorrow's bosses.
The first two comments are clearly written by two people (Laowei and KBA) who aren't parents. Being a parent is much more difficult and dynamic than you remember. The next two from Anne and TJ, who are parents, give advice that practical…while its worthwhile to hear any criticism or complaint about your child, fact finding is a must before doling punishment. If anything, it shows your child that you're fair and that is an example worth setting.
Be there for your kids. Know them, teach them.
Don't delegate parenting to the school system, TV, and/or the street.
If you don't know your children, this kind of phone call, cannot be shocking.
"If you don't know your children, this kind of phone call, cannot be shocking."
Or to put it in the positive:
If you know your children, you will never be shocked by a phone call about them. If you do receive a "shocking" phone call, your very first instinct will be to stay calm and gather more information.
This column is for people who may never take the this good advise. Parenting, for them, is something they read about and pay other experts to do. The bullies almost all come from parents who either can't or won't take the time to be involved emotionally with them. Staying calm and gathering facts when you haven't been paying attention in the first place is a pretty far stretch for them.
Without variation, through grades 1 to 12, I found that a sound thrashing by someone with a highly developed sense of fair play was the most successful eliminator of bully behaviour. Sometime it took two sessions, but no more.

An update on the injury suffered by #RedSox LHP Franklin Morales:
An update on the injury suffered by #RedSox LHP Franklin Morales:
Franklin Morales left tonight's game in the seventh inning after allowing a home run by Omar Infante. He felt pain in the front of his left shoulder in the area of his pectoral muscle. Manager John Farrell indicated that Morales would likely be placed on the disabled list on Sunday. Morales said the injury was similar to the one he suffered in April while pitching in a minor league game. That set him back for three weeks. "I feel it one pitch … the pitch to Infante," Morales said. The Sox could recall RHP Pedro Beato, who was optioned earlier today. Or they could go with RHP Jose De La Torre. Alfredo Aceves is another candidate.

I'll admit, I chuckled a bit at the description of RIFT's Hammerknell. It's unapologetically Grim Batol. After reading the actual article... my god. It's smart to stick so closely to the rest of the market's themes (WoW does this as well), but this is getting a little ridiculous.
-The instance takes place inside of the abandoned Dwarven city of Hammerknell [the abandoned dwarven city of Grim Batol]
-where Aklylios -- the Dragon of the plane of water [Neltharion -- the Dragon Aspect of Earth]
-and the object of worship of the Abyssal Cult [Twilight Cult]
-is blah blah blah [deathwing also blah blah blahs!]
Well, that's probably where the similarities end, but I hope I'm not the only one that appreciates the similarities.

❝So when you look into the mirror and don't know who you are, that's who you are.
"Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast"
I know you don't remember, but just indulge me. Please.

Now you've made your choice, and you're going to regret it forever. All you'll have is an empty heart and a chipped cup.
I just think about how OUaT is trying to keep Rumbelle together before Rumple is emotionally ready for a healthy relationship and while Belle realizes that he isn't a good partner.
Why do you hate my babies so much, OUaT?
Rumple needs development, and Belle needs to know that Rumple loves her but doesn't need her right now.
Their reunion should have resulted in them confessing everything they've felt about each other and realizing they can't be together at the moment, but still promise that they will see one another every once in awhile.
They could have met up every once and awhile and had it be special, where Rumple has a renewed passion to better himself, and Belle can draw some comfort that he's on the right path, trying to rid his heart of the poison that fills it.
Of course this should all be happening in the Enchanted Forest because keeping Storybrooke around is just making everything drag, and everyone crammed into that tiny town is inconvenient to the number of characters there now that the curse is lifted.
Under the mistletoe
Merry Christmas!
Grumpy: Just because you possess something don't mean its yours. Nothing in this shop belongs to you. And you, how can you be with such a monster?

"Full deep ruby-red. Briary black fruits, black plum, bitter chocolate and nutty, spicy oak on the nose. Lush entry, then stuffed with fruit in the middle, but with a firm core of acidity contributing backbone. Hints at an almost liqueur-like ripeness, but this classic mountain cabernet is very much in the sharply delineated, tightly wound style of the 1999 vintage. Has a primary, almost grapey quality as well as excellent persistence, suggesting that this wine will age slowly and well."

International Wine Cellar
"I was never as enthusiastic about the 1999 vintage for Napa Cabernet as some of my colleagues, and the late-released 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate displays the green, herbaceous element that was one of my disquieting observations about this vintage when it was first reviewed. Still very young, with a deeper color than the 2007 with just a touch of lightening at the edge, it reveals notes of forest floor, roasted herbs, black currants, and a hint of mint. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and extremely youthful, it has another 20 years ahead of it."
91 Points
The Wine Advocate
"wine with a potent personality. Dark and intense, with a massive core of tannins lining the racy, herbaceous bell pepper, currant, earth, mineral and tar flavors. Has a good dose of cedary oak. Finishes with firm tannins and the need to rest, chained in a dark, cool space for a few years."

Philip Togni planted their first vines near the top of Spring Mountain in the Napa Valley in 1981. Those phylloxera vulnerable rootstocks have now gone, replanted in the early nineties. Philip Togni's first wines were Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc in 1983, but they have now concentrated their efforts on a very ageworthy Margaux-type blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet...Read More About Philip Togni
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

At April's New York Auto Show Cadillac finally unveiled the production version of the 2004 CTS V-Spec that wedges in the Corvette's big lump of aluminum under the angular Caddy's sharply creased hood. Not only will this be most powerful production car Cadillac has yet built, but it's also the only Cadillac available exclusively with a manual transmission--in this case, a version of the T56 six-speed also used in the Dodge Viper. Of course there are also big Brembo brakes aboard, the suspension is squashed and tightened, and those are 18-inch wheels with P245/45WR-18 Goodyear EMT tires standard. Enjoyed this Post?

TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has beaten out Los Angeles Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig in the Final Vote by the fans for a roster spot on the National League All-Star team. There had been backlash about Puig, the dynamic Dodgers outfielder, potentially making the team because he would have become the first player in MLB history to appear on an All-Star roster having played in fewer than 40 career games. Freeman is batting .309 with nine home runs and 56 RBI. Puig is batting .394 with eight home runs and 19 RBI in 35 games since joining the Dodgers on June 3. Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Steve Delabar won the Final Vote in the American League. Freeman expressed his joy on Twitter moments after the results were announced: "Words can't describe how thankful I am to all the fans!! This is a dream come true and it wouldn't of happened without you guys!" The 2013 MLB All-Star Game will be broadcast live on FOX from Citi Field in New York on Tuesday ...

3rd Annual Latke Festival
Sure, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but you know what major food holiday comes after Thanksgiving? Chanukah! That's right, Chanukah—a Jewish celebration that even a goy can enjoy, thanks to the semi-official food of the holiday: latkes, aka potato pancakes. And if you're a true latke freak, Jewish or not, there's a party for you: the third annual Latke Festival at BAM. (via Gothamist)

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Reeva Steenkamp's boyfriend attracted attention because he matched with nondisabled expectations of what disability can and should be. And he was used, ruthlessly, as a tool for beating disabled people; if he can do it, so can you. Go watch him and learn from his amazing feats. Revel in the fact that a man born with congenital disabilities can run on two legs 'just like a normal person.'
Shocked by the revelation that disabled people can actually be abusive assholes too, the nondisabled community has lashed out in confusion and bitter outrage. Suddenly their poster child, their supercrip, has been turned into yet another athlete caught up in a sordid and unpleasant domestic violence scandal, with a side of murder; possibly cold-blooded murder, according to some accounts. This upends everything they think about athletes, and about disabled people. They were the ones who put him on a pedestal, and they were the ones faced with figuring out how to take him off it again after learning who he truly was.

his website is specially dedicated to The Lonely Path of Integrity,
an authorized biography of Spyridon, former Archbishop of America, published
by Exandas Publishers.
The Premier of Quebec Jean Charest holding The Lonely Path of Integrity
The second part of the book describes the action-filled
three years of Spyridon's ministry in America. Documented with material from
the Archbishop's personal archives and the journalistic records of the time,
it reveals the intricate web of interacting personalities and interests that
led to the eviction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate's former favorite
It emerges from this gripping story of Byzantine intrigue
that the protagonists in the overthrow of Iakovos played precisely the same
repeat role in the ousting of Spyridon. It is revealed that it was not the
Patriarchate that gave way to the pressure of a crisis, but indeed instigated
the stifling situation in America (1996-1999) when it discovered that Spyridon
had no intention to serve its dubious schemes.
The 350 page book illustrated with previously unpublished
photographs from Spyridon's childhood and early Church ministry, traces like
a piece of cinema the pressures and the vilification which he endured as a
human being and an archbishop before being forced to resign in July 1999.
The reader follows unhurriedly the progress of this church
leader to the culmination of his career, as well as the organized efforts
to unseat him. Leading roles in ousting him were played by the so-called "Patriarchal
friends", the emissaries of the Phanar, by a few wealthy Greek Americans,
by the Iakovos establishment, and, in the last phase of the crisis, even by
the Greek Government...
In the mayhem of this merciless persecution, Spyridon
chose solitariness in a foreign country, thus proving that even the uncompromising
find, in the end, a place in the sun.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The Baker no back turbo booster car seat is ideal for older children. With new laws in effect and children under age 8 I believe needing to be in car seats longer this is the best idea for growing boys and girls. My daughter uses a Baker no back turbo booster car seat for her 4 year old son I told her I needed one of my own for my car and a week later a friend of my son gave him a baker turbo no back booster seat. This booster seat does not have the high back it is only the seat portion. This is especially good in the summer. My grandson would often sweat in the high back seat. This way he is riding just like an adult. The seat belt fits over him the same way I wear mine. And my grandson is able to look out the window and see moe than he could in the traditional high back car seat. I can only find one draw back to this booster seat. If my grandson happens to fall asleep in the car his head goes back and forth and he looks very uncomfortable. Even though I was given a free booster seat the price is still reasonable. My daughtr said she paid $39.00 for hers. The seat is firm yet comfortable. It is also pretty easy to clean. And it is so easy to use. ALl I have to do is sit it in the seat put have my grandson climb in and hook the seat belt. So much easier than the traditional seat hookup.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Colorectal Cancer Glossary of Terms
Barium: a substance that, when swallowed or given rectally as an enema, makes the digestive tract visible on X-rays.
Barium enema: a process used to study the colon in which barium is given as an enema (through the rectum). Usually gas is then blown in to make the barium spread over the lining of the colon, producing an outline of the colon on X-ray to reveal any irregularities in the lining, such as a polyp, or growth.
Benign tumor: a non-cancerous growth that usually does not spread to nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
Biofeedback: a technique that gives a person some element of voluntary control over particular bodily functions. An electronic device that produces sight or sound signals is often used.
Biological therapy: see Immunotherapy.
Biopsy: the removal and examination of a sample of tissue with a microscope to see whether cancer cells are present.
Brachytherapy: a form of radiation therapy usually used to treat prostate and other cancers. During the procedure, radioactive seeds are implanted into the prostate gland. The seeds remain in place permanently and become inactive after about 10 months. This technique allows for delivery of a high dose of radiation to the prostate with limited damage to surrounding tissues.
Cancer: a general term for more than 100 diseases in which there is an uncontrolled, abnormal growth of cells. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body.
Cannulas: tubes that hold the laparoscope and instruments, and allow access to the abdominal cavity for performance of laparoscopic surgery.
Carcinoma: a malignant (cancerous) growth that begins in the lining or covering of an organ and tends to invade surrounding tissue and travel to and grow in other regions of the body.
Carcinoma in situ: cancer that involves only the tissue in which it began; it has not spread to other tissues.
Catheter: a thin, flexible, plastic tube. A urinary catheter is a tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain urine.
CAT scan: a technique in which multiple X-rays of the body are taken from different angles in a very short period of time. A computer that displays a series of "slice" images of the body collects these images.
Chemotherapy: in cancer treatment, chemotherapy refers to the use of drugs whose main effect is either to kill or slow the growth of rapidly multiplying cells. Chemotherapy usually includes a combination of drugs, since this is more effective than a single drug.
Chronic: persisting over a long period of time.
Clear margins: an area of normal tissue that surrounds cancerous tissue, as seen during a microscopic examination. If margins are clear, the surgeon can be virtually sure that he or she has removed all the cancer in that area.
