'HolyWars' Documentary Getting Some Buzz
Film depicts two 'religious fundamentalists' -- a Christian and a Muslim -- on their journeys
A compelling new documentary called HolyWars made its world premiere at the SilverDocs film festival last week, where it caught the eye of IndieWIRE magazine. IndieWIRE asked director Stephen Marshall about what they called his "unusual approach to the subject of religious extremism in a post-9/11 world after his film completed both of its Silverdocs screenings," adding that Marshall had set out to make a film about end-of-the-world rhetoric.
"The inception point was in 2006; Bush was still in power," Marshall said. "The zeitgeist was focused on apocalyptic thinking. This was the original idea that got me the money to make the film. The question was: Could they make it happen? Could they make a self-fulfilling prophecy?"
More info here.
Such a beautifully relevant piece as this is a must-see!!
This movie struck me as divinely brilliant, poignantly touching with immortal inspiration. Sometimes it seems that art does come in from a higher dimension. That makes Stephen Marshall and Lisa Kawamoto Hsu channels of such energy...very thrilling!
A thought provoking documentary by Stephen Marshall but what was promised as a good debate between a conservative Christian evangelist and jihad advocating Muslim ended up as being one sided affair as Aaron the missionary didn't have any answers to the questions and challenges put to him by Khalid the Irish Muslim convert. This may have been due to Aaron's age, inexperience or lack of knowledge about world out side his New Mexico. Khalid on the other hand came across as a much more world aware and prepared advocate for his hard lined Muslim belief ( miss guided as he may be).
A clash of ideology between evenly matched religious personalities would have been a better option.

Mickie Wood, the mother of child beauty pageant star, Eden Wood, pulled out of promotinonal appearances on the weekend leaving fans and the promoter disappointed and angry.
Read the article here: Pageant mum blasted for 'money decision'
Melbourne's controversial Universal Royalty Beauty Pageant had promised attendants that child beauty pageant star Eden Wood, would make an appearance, with some families paying $50 to be photographed with the tiny pageant star.
Mickie Wood had told everyone that she had pulled out of promotional appearances due to security fears, but it is now being reported that she had signed a deal worth $70,000 with Today Tonight (from the Seven network). This deal prevented Eden from performing at the pageant because rival channel, Channel Nine's A Current Affair had exclusive rights to the pageant.
Carmen Powell, who helped promote the pageant was furious at Ms Wood and let fly on the "Australian's who love pageants" Facebook page.
She wrote, "How dare you take advantage of the good nature of Australians who have supported, defended and put their own reputations within their community under fire" and "You did not make 'the mummy decision… you made a money decision' — your child was never under any threat."
This just makes an even worse name for pageants that they already have. I'm sorry If you like child beauty pageants, but this incident really only shows that Mickie Wood only cares about parading her child around for money.
What do you think of the whole child beauty pageant debacle?

Mainchance Drop-In Center
The Mainchance Drop-In Center is GCNSSC's multi-service facility, and it is our home base. At Mainchance, clients can stay in emergency overnight shelter or catch a bus to a faith-based overnight bed program, eat 3 meals a day in our kitchen, and take an exercise class with one of our community volunteers.
The GCNSSC Mainchance Drop-In Center serves a diverse street homeless population of single adults in and around Midtown Manhattan. As one of the city's largest drop-in centers, we assist individuals of many ages, backgrounds and cultures. Most of all, we offer refuge from the street in a protective, welcoming and supportive environment – and we do it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In August of 2004 we moved to our new space on 120 East 32nd Street. The building's name came from the phrase "having an eye for the main chance," which describes someone who is always looking to improve their situation. We named our new center "Mainchance" after this idiomatic expression because it gives clients their best chance at a new future—one full of opportunity and hope.

WASHINGTON (AP)-- The number 2 House Democrat says a key factor extending the government shutdown is fear among moderate Republicans about a tea party challenge.
Maryland's Rep. Steny Hoyer says he believes 140 to 160 of the 232 House Republicans "think what's being done right now is irrational." Hoyer tells MSNBC Monday these lawmakers are "looking over their shoulders" at potential tea party challenges.
Hoyer said GOP friends have told him privately that they don't understand the uncompromising position taken by the more conservative members of their caucus, lawmakers who have fallen into line with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and others.
Hoyer said the partial government shutdown now in effect is different from past closures "because this is a tactic. This is not a result of the inability to get an agreement."
Courtesy The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
Nevada Senator Harry Reid spoke on the Senate floor today regarding the importance of ending the government shutdown. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
Yesterday the Speaker of the House of Representatives claimed there aren't enough votes to pass the only bill that can end this dangerous government shutdown. The Speaker is mistaken. Two-hundred Democrats in the House have said they would vote for the bill to reopen the government. And 22 Republicans in the House have said publically that they would vote for the bill as well. Last time I checked, that adds up to a majority of members of the House of Representatives.
Now, if only there was a mechanism for polling all the members of the House to find out whether they support the Senate-passed bill – a surefire way to find out whether the bill would pass. A surefire way such as offering the bill for a vote. That would settle this question once and for all, wouldn't it?
I say to my friend, the Speaker, allow a vote on the only bill that can end this shutdown – a bill that you proposed in the first place. The entire federal government could re-open for business by tomorrow morning. I ask the Speaker, why are you afraid? Are you afraid the bill will pass, the government will reopen and Americans will realize you took the country hostage for no apparent reason? Why is the Speaker opposed to reasonable solutions?
Across the nation, people are suffering because of the Speaker's irresponsible political games. There is still one easy way out – the same escape hatch that's been available as long as we've been a country: a vote. But for the seven days the federal government has been closed for businesses, the Speaker has refused to use that escape hatch.
The Senate-passed bill to reopen the government while we work out our budget differences wasn't even my idea. It was the Speaker's idea. He admits it was his intention all along to pass a clean continuing resolution.
The bill before the House represents a compromise by Democrats – a compromise it was very difficult for my caucus to accept. But now that Democrats have compromised, the Speaker won't take yes for an answer. He's moved the goal line again.
Last week, the Speaker wanted to go to conference to work out a long-term budget agreement. Democrats agreed. We've been asking to go to conference to work out a responsible budget compromise for more than six months – six months, M. President. Simply reopen the government, Democrats said, and we'll gladly negotiate on anything and everything – from healthcare to discretionary spending, agriculture reform to tax reform. Democrats are not afraid to negotiate. And we're not afraid to make reasonable compromises. But once again, Lucy moved the football.
As Judd Legum, editor-in-chief of Think Progress, pointed out, Republicans have a strange definition of compromise. This is how he explained it. Republicans ask, "Can I burn down your house?" We say no. Republicans ask, "Just the second floor?" We say no. Republicans ask, "[Just the] garage? We say no. Republicans say, "Let's talk about what I can burn down." We say no. Then Republicans say, "YOU'RE NOT COMPROMISING."
Republicans insist we must negotiate while the federal government remains closed. As the New York Times editorial writers said Saturday, when 800,000 federal employees are furloughed, government services are shut down and the economy is flagging, it's hardly the time for talking.
This is what the Times wrote: "This is a moment for immediate action to reopen the government's doors, not the beginning of a conversation Republicans spurned when they lacked the leverage of a shutdown. [Republicans] have refused to negotiate over the Senate' budget, they have refused to negotiate over the President's budget and they have refused to negotiate to make the health law more efficient…. The two sides will eventually have to reach a reckoning on long-term economic issues, but the time to do so is not while dangling over an abyss."
Democrats agree. We are willing to negotiate. But we won't negotiate with a gun to our heads. We say to our Republican colleagues: end this irresponsible government shutdown. Stop your reckless threats of a default on the nation's obligations. Then Democrats will negotiate over anything our Republican colleagues want.

Foreign Aid and Enlightened Leaders
AbstractTo study whether foreign aid fuels personal, regional and ethnic favoritism, we use satellite data on nighttime light for any region in any aid-recipient country, and we determine for each year and each country the region in which the current political leader was born. Having a panel with 22,850 regions in 91 aid recipient countries with yearly observations from 1992 to 2005, we compare the effect of foreign aid on nighttime light across regions. We find that in countries with poor political institutions, this effect is significantly higher in the region in which the current political leader was born than in other regions. This finding suggests that a disproportionate share of foreign aid ends up in the leader's birth region, and we argue that it supports the view that foreign aid fuels favoritism, broadly defined. We find no such difference in aid-recipient countries with sound political institutions.

Forget Oprah and Dr. Phil. You want to know the secret to a better life, tune in to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Yes folks, you better "Redneckognize!" Pint-size pageant queen Alana, her momma June, and sisters Chickadee, Pumpkin, and Chubbs have all the answers you've been searching for. I kid you not.
You've let yourself go? Just follow Momma's mantra: "I ain't the most beautimos out the box, but a little paint on this barn, shine it back to its original condition. Cause it shines up like it's brand new."
The state of the economy? "A dollar make me holla," sings Alana. All 99-Percenters would certainly agree! And who can deny the superiority of the Redneck Games? "It's all about Southern pride, similar to the Olympics, but with a lot of missing teeth and a lot of butt crack showing," informs June. No need to worry about wardrobe malfunctions there!
This family kicks some serious knowledge. Check out Honey Boo Boo's guide to life:

This entire family revolts and disturbs me.
From what is shown, they seem pretty "happy go lucky" and to get along remarkably well. I kind of get a kick out of them.
The family makes me sad. That family displays most of the shortcomings of society all in one. They don't put an importance on education, healthy living, class or manners.
The family is nasty.
yuck....just yuck

These were really fantastic. Not your typical 'stuffed' tamales, but the flavor and texture was spot-on. They had a little kick, but not too much. Save yourself some time & bake the sweet potatoes the day before so they're cooled and ready to mash on the day you make the tamales.
Chile-Spiced Sweet Potato Tamales

SharonEB Posted: 12/02/13
These were easier to make than I expected! Some of my guests were turned off by the spice, so I might use fewer chiles, or even none at all if I made it again. I actually made these in my slow cooker. You just sprinkle a few tablespoons of water in the pot with the tamales and cook on high for four hours.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school has come a long way with the current administration. The office staff, teachers and even the custodians are so helpful and have the children's best interest at heart! Way to go Panthers!!
This school is by far the worst school ever, I have been to! I have been called names, the teachers take to much favorism, the princible is a mess, isn't she supposed to get to school before anyone else?! Some teachers buy other student presents, I think that's wrong, if your going to do tiny do it privately! Oh yeah there is this hing called panting I the locker room, I suppose the pe teachers have no control? I don't like this, I'm going to a new school next year for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My daughter is starting 8th grade, and with the exception of 1 teacher, we have had nothing but excellent teachers. The chorus program is phenominal and is the main reason we chose this school. If your child is interested in the arts, this is the school to attend!
I am in the 8th grade, and this is my first year at Powell, and..I HATE IT. I just moved here from a different state. It's terrible at Powell. Students can say profanity, and all they'd get is a "Watch your language!" At my old school, we'd get in huge trouble. And the students at Powell, oh my lord.. they're all smokers, and getting arrested, stuff like that. There are SO MANY fights here, too. We had like 2 fights a year at my old school. If you were ever thinking about letting your child go to Powell, don't. Send them to Challenger K-8, Winding Waters K-8, D.S. Parrot, etc. I used to love school, but once I came to Powell..I already hate Powell and I've been here only about 9 weeks. If there was an option to put zero stars on the star rating, I would.
My son has attend this school for three years now. The teachers are very helpful, always response to emails. The track team was great my son is one of there top runners. Mr. C is awesome. Coach uncle buck is great. Unfortunately they are losing some teachers to budget cuts.
Kids are nothing but bullies, teachers really don't care. The teachers have their favorites and if you're not on their list oh well. Dance teacher doesn't give anyone group or solo parts if they aren't one of her favorites. Teachers watch bullying going on but won't say anything. This has been the worst 3 years of my daughters life. I am so glad she has only 1 more month to go and then can go on to a better school. My daughter stays out of trouble but the teachers treat her horribly. One student has been in so much trouble but they won't kick her out. It's not a safe school at all. My daughter always liked school till these last 3 years. I also do not feel they promote academics as much as their performing arts. Academics should always come first.
This school doesn't really care if the students learn anything or even if they WANT to learn. The new principal is terrible and the students are out of control.
It seems to me that this school is more interested in keeping the teachers that don't put any effort into their actual teaching and they get rid of the ones that actually CARE about the students. They are more focused on disciplining the students and creating ridiculous rules than actually making sure the students there flourish and are prepared for high school. It's a middle school, not the military. Keep the good teachers and get rid of the bad ones. It's funny to me how the teachers that have students with high test scores are the ones being fired. THAT'S a good way to ensure you get money for that budget.
This school is a great and safe school. The teachers and administrators deal with all this issues and they do not tolerate bad behavior! We moved down to this district 2 years ago from up north and I have been very pleased with Powell Middle School. I'm extremely happy that my children attend this school. Some of the other schools in the district are lacking in the discipline category however, not Powell. This school is not afraid to deal with the very few problem students that attend Powell!
I attend Powell Middle School. I'm a 6th grader and this is my first year here. So far it has impressed me. Although, the Geography teacher is my main problem. She barely helps you. Her name is Mrs. Bradley. And i'm not saying ALL the 7th graders do this, but a few of them are complete snobs. But most of them are fair. The eighth graders don't bother anyone. I currently have 5 B's(Math, Dance, Science, Band, PE,) 1 C(Advanced Language Arts,) and 1 D(GEOGRAPHY)
This school is amazing the teachers are understanding and helpful and the students are very amazing
safety and education are the most important things to me for the children and Powell provides these. Great school. And I know this from past experiences we have had with other schools. GO PANTHERS!!!!
Powell Middle School Is TERRIBLE. I Hate It & All The Teahers There. They're Too Focused On Getting Kidss In Trouble All The Time.
I love this school. The teachers here are nice.
I think the teachers here are very helpful and their programs are outstanding
I am a student at Powell and I think it is a great school there are nice teachers a lot of the students are easy to get along with and there are very few fights and I am part of the student government and planning to stay in it next year too we have done a lot to help the school we have helped with the P.BS. (positive behavior System) we plan the school dances the field trips and pep rallies and a whole lot more so not only are you getting help and support from the teachers staff and admin. your kid also gets help from the student government and when we plan stuff like that we also keep the students interests in mind. there are also after school tutoring with math reading even art and science. This school also has students working on the year book.
Although I do appreciate the things the new principal has done to improve the school, I am sad to say there is a lot more to be done. My son is in the eighth grade and extremely bright but I feel as though he has not been prepared for highschool at all. The teachers at Powell, with the exception of a few, are below par. My son is in pre-ap classes and the teachers either don't teach and expect the kids to learn it on their own or they don't even apeak proper english! It is amazing to me! I really hope they clean house one day for the sake of the students. I don't think high school is much better. Kids don't do their work and are able to make it up at the end of the quarter???? How are they learning from this? I could go on and on!
Teachers, including Administration, seem to be more focused on discipline than a student's education. I'm in eighth grade and have been going to Powell Middle School for three years. I truly do regret going to this school as it has brought me nothing but trouble. While students are raising their hands to ask a question the teachers are across the room screaming, disciplining another student. And, before you know it, class is over. Goodbye Powell!
I hate this school. It is absolutley terrible. Busses are always crowded, kids are cruel, you get made fun of, terrible teachers. I do not reccomend this school at all. I have been here for two years. My friends are the only thing that really get me to wake up at 5:30 am in the morning! the teachers let us run in the hallways, make fun of people, and there are bad fights. All the time.
I love powell middle school! It's the best!

Death and religion have never been laughing matters—at least until now. "The Actor's Nightmare" and "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You," two one-acts written by Christopher Durang and performed in the Black Box from November 3-6, allowed absurd black comedy to flourish in the Southwest theater scene. Hilariously dismal and refreshingly intelligent, both pieces satisfied an enthusiastic student audience.
The plot of "The Actor's Nightmare" is likely familiar to any performer who has dreamt of being thrust onto stage without knowing his or her lines. Such is the case with George Spelvin, although he cannot seem to wake up, or figure out whether he is performing "Private Lives," "Hamlet," "Waiting for Godot?" or maybe "A Man of All Seasons." The talented Luke Burris convinced a chortling audience that he knew just what it was like to be in George's situation, traveling through phases of confusion, haughty confidence, uneasiness, and ultimately, indifference as to whether or not he survived this hellish nightmare.
"Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All to You" was perhaps more enjoyable than the first, thanks to its rousing and extremely well-executed climax. Despite appearing sweet in a floppy nun's hat, Rachel Nethercut was spot-on in her portrayal of the rigid and cruel Sister Mary, who refuses at all costs to admit that a single flaw exists in the framework of Catholicism. The show was relentless when it came to satirizing strict moral code, although Durang made it clear that the consequences of close-mindedness are not a joking matter.
Without a doubt, directors Carter Bellaimey and Louis Umbarger went beyond expectations and set the bar high for future student directors. Their production was stirring and innovative, from its use of humorous short film to make the usually repetitive pre-show announcements, to its silent projection of "Fight Club" before and between shows, to its unsettling implication that those who laughed at certain moments would be sent to hell, and finally, to the fact that it gave way to some of the best individual performances Unhinged has seen in a very long time.

So I recently was trying to program a Logitech Harmony 880 Universal Remote on my MacBook Pro and encountered some problems. I couldn't find any posts on this on the web so I figured I'd share this with you guys.
The current Mac OS X Logitech Harmony Remote Software does NOT work on Intel Macs. This is a known issue at Logitech and they are working on a universal binary. If you call up tech support and get escalated to a higher tech they can get you a beta version of the new software.
The Logitech Harmony family of remotes is fanastic and one of the few I've seen with software for the Mac. I sure hope they get the universal binary out soon.

Too Beautiful Not To Kiss0 Reviews
okay, here's where the... event happens. please, PLEASE read!
A few hours later, Gerard left the room. Frankie looked at me nervously. I sighed, "I'm sorry." I said softly, looking down at my hands and then back towards the TV. I heard him getting up and sitting down to the left of me on the other end of the couch. I tried not to squirm with my discomfort.
"It would be nice to know the story." He finally said. I looked at him warily, it must've been obvious that I hadn't been getting proper amounts of sleep for a few weeks by the circles forming under my eyes that I tried to carefully and unsuccessfully conceal.
"It's a long story." I said carefully, he just looked at me, waiting. Fuck! Why did he have to be so damn adorable. I sighed and started, "When I was 13, well, you know that the three of us were obsessed with My Chemical Romance. I particularly was crazy about you." I looked down at my hands again uncomfortably and continued. I didn't want this to be a long story and cut it short. "I guess I'm just a bit embarrassed about it, now that Lisa and Amanda are friends with you and I was just kind of left behind and you're with Gerard. I mean, it's been years but I guess it still affects me a bit. I guess it's hard to forget about some things." I sighed again and after a moment's hesitation I said, "I must sound pathetic. Really, I'm sorry that I can't act normal around you." I finished, the volume of my voice dropping. I looked at him with bright eyes, hoping I wouldn't cry. Fuck hormones!
To my surprise, he nodded knowingly. I began to get up, wanting to be anywhere but here. "Stay." He said to me. I looked at him and sat back down. He didn't say a word, but I hoped to God that he was forgiving and understood the situation. I really hoped he did. Frank didn't say another word, he just lay down on his back with his knees up so as not to hit me and began to sleep. I looked at him, amazed at how he was taking this. I simply took the remote control, changed the channel and watched TV for a good hour.
It was extremely late, Frank was sleeping for sure. I couldn't really hear anything else on the bus; not even the sounds of the TV at the front of the bus being watched by Amanda and Jenny. Slowly, I stood up and his feet extended along the couch. I sucked in my breath, sat down on a little piece of couch next to him, and leaned down over Frank's dreaming face. I stared for the longest time, just drinking in his face. I couldn't stop myself from bending down, my lips ghosted his and then they lightly brushed. Without thinking, I kissed him gently, and then I felt him twitch. His hands became tangled in my hair and he kissed back to my sick and delighted surprise. Even though he probably didn't realize who he was kissing, I didn't stop him or myself from deepening the kiss. That was when we both heard a gasp and looked up to see Amanda, staring at us like a deer in the headlights. She began to speak in single words. I couldn't blame her. My face turned a bright shade of red and I ran out of the room to the driver's compartment.
I barged in and was silent as I took a seat next to Lisa. What I had done dawned on me and I was horrified, positive that he must've caught a glimpse at who he was kissing when I rushed out of the room at least. Even if all he had seen was a figure with long hair, he couldn't mistake me for Gerard. The ends of my brown hair were blue, I knew that I had been caught. I urged myself not to let silent tears escape, Lisa looked over at me with a concerned look on her face.
"Are you okay sweetie?" she asked me. I pursed my lips and put my head in between my bent knees and covered my face with my arms. I heard Amanda yelling, and I heard Gerard's voice. I heard everything. Lisa had too and looked at me.
"I did something bad." I said, my voice choked but I still held back the tears. Before either one of us could say anything else, the door opened and Amanda was standing there. It seemed as if she was towering over my small body. Tears silently slid down my face as I looked from Lisa to Amanda's enraged face before I slowly stood up and followed her to the studio.
OKay, here. REVIEW! PLEASE! There's still more, like I said, to keep it a oneshot would've been hell because this is too long for a oneshot. ENJOY!

New lighting and fence
Improving safety
In March 2013, the City of Sydney Council unanimously endorsed the upgrade of the lighting and fencing in Reg Bartley Oval and the lights in Rushcutters Bay Park. We are installing the new lighting from early May until around October 2014, weather permitting. The new lights will help make the park safer at night and provide better lighting over the sports oval, especially during winter.
You can download the heritage impact statements related to this project.
Reg Bartley Oval
The existing 8 field lights will be replaced with 6 new light poles, electrical services, footings and earthworks. The new lights have been designed and positioned to give more even light coverage across the oval, improving player safety in line with Australian standards.
The lights will operate mainly during winter and the hours of use will not change – they will turn off at about 9.45pm each night.
We are also replacing the existing timber fence due to wood rot. We'll install a timber replica with metal supports, which will reduce the fence's long-term maintenance needs while retaining its timber picket fence design.

COREY WILLIAMS, Associated Press
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace has been sentenced to a year of probation on misdemeanor charges of drunken driving and possessing a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
The 37-year-old appeared Tuesday morning in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac. He also must perform community service as part of his sentence.
Wallace pleaded guilty last month. He was arrested about 3 a.m. on Sept. 24 in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Township after officers observed a Cadillac Escalade being driven erratically. An unloaded pistol was in a backpack.
Officers saidWallace was given a blood-alcohol test and was above Michigan's legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Wallace helped the Pistons win the 2004 NBA title.

Kate Middleton may have been using venom from Kiwi bees as a face treatment, similar to Botox, in the lead-up to her big day.
The royal bride is reported to have taken the beauty tip from Prince William's stepmother, the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla.
The 63-year-old reportedly swears by the Bee Venom Mask.
The cream, which is also mixed with New Zealand Manuka honey, shea butter and rose and lavender oils, is sold online and in specialist boutiques.
It is said to work its magic by gently stinging the skin, leaving a tingling sensation and causing the body to direct blood flow to the area.
It claims to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which reduce wrinkles by relaxing and strengthening the muscles, the New Zealand Herald reports.
The venom is sourced from organic hives at Nelson Honey, in Tapawera, 30km south of Nelson.
But it's not readily available in the UK – which company was last month ordered by Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) to stop selling pots of honey, which includes the bee venom, in the UK.
The FSA ruled there was not enough evidence to prove that eating the venom was safe - triggering a Europe-wide ban.
A 50ml jar costs $112.
Other celebrities reported to be fans of the cream include Dannii Minogue, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gwyneth Paltrow.

America's CEOs Using Twitter, LinkedIn More, Facebook Less, Google+ Hardly At All [STUDY]
By Shea Bennett on August 12, 2013 3:00 PM
CEOs and social media haven't always made the greatest of bedfellows – while some chief execs seem to spend almost all of their spare time online, many others don't bother at all – new research from Domo and CEO.com has revealed that the heads of America's largest companies are gradually coming around to the idea of social networking, certainly when it comes to Twitter and linkedIn.
Facebook and Google+? Not so much.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

Some Alaskan Parents Fined if Kids Skip School
FoxNews: School districts in western Alaska have found a new way to crack down on truancy -- or rather, an old way: They're getting police to enforce a years-old state law that lets them fine parents whose children skip school.
Court records show some parents are being fined hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars, if their children miss too many school days.
State law says children between the ages of 7 and 16 have to be in school or their parents can be fined up to $500 for every five unexcused absences. But not all school districts are making sure the law is enforced. Anchorage Superintendent Carol Comeau, for instance, can't recall her district pursuing a truancy violation in court in at least a decade.
In rural Alaska -- in regions such as Unalakleet, Kotzebue and Bethel -- districts are turning to the truancy law as a way to get kids back in classrooms.

Charlottesville, VA (Sports Network) - Michael Rocco threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Virginia Cavaliers to a 31-21 victory over the Duke Blue Devils in ACC action at Scott Stadium.
Virginia (7-3, 4-2 ACC) added 165 rushing yards in the game, and it was Kevin Parks who led the way with 78 yards.
Sean Renfree threw for 303 yards and one touchdown against Virginia, but he also tossed an interception. Juwan Thompson also rushed for 30 yards for Duke (3-7, 1-5), but he scored twice on the ground.
The lone score in the opening quarter came from Virginia, as Rocco hit Jeremiah Mathis for a six-yard touchdown pass.
Seconds into the second quarter the Blue Devils evened the score when Renfree connected with Donovan Varner for a 64-yard scoring strike.
Duke took the lead later in the half when Thompson plunged into the end zone on a one-yard run.
The Cavaliers were able to send the game into the break tied at 14 apiece, thanks to Rocco's second TD of the game, which was a 38-yard pass to Kris Burd.
Less than two minutes into the second half the Cavaliers went back on top, thanks to a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown by Chase Minnifield.
The game was tied back up just minutes later after another one-yard score by Thompson.
Virginia responded with 10 unanswered points, beginning with a one-yard touchdown by Perry Jones. The lead for the Cavs was boosted to 10 after a 29- yard kick by Robert Randolph.
The defense did the rest, holding the Blue Devils scoreless through the final frame, en route to the win.

First, some comments on the "Typical" English China blog
We got a very gratifying comment via email from a reader that ended with a little humorous jab at the English China blogosphere:
stumbled across this blog by chance … and now i've been here like four hours and can't leave. thanks a lot for the hilarious insight and much-appreciated departure from the standard white-dude-in-china blogs. :)
First, I appreciated the props because Kai had just gone through a major redesign of the site. Second, I had a chuckle at the "white-dudes" comment…and since my inner dude is just as "white" as some of those "white-dudes" (and in fact many of them speak/read/write Chinese helluva lot better than I can), I'm allowed to laugh along with them, right?
We got another comment from Leo on our post about English China blogs increasingly translating Chinese fora:
I'll give the English language China-themed blogosphere more respect when it's more than just a bunch of white guys from a few countries, writing pithy rebuttals to the NYT, CNN, etc; and who tended to see China in monolithic qualities (frequent posts on China as a herd or group, rather than giving cities their own personalities, understanding regions beyond food, etc)…
So I looked at my China blog roll and for the first time stopped to think about the fact that a large number of the blogs, and indeed most of the exceptional English China blogs, were written by "white dudes." But more so than this, I was also struck by the consistent focus of so many of these blogs: current events, politics, media, business, commerce, law.
"Typical" English China Blogs can be edifying, but weighty
Instead of profiling blogs by race of author, I'd instead observe that many of these "typical" English China blogs tackle weighty issues that really force you to think. I have these blogs on my blogroll because they really advance my personal course of study on China's society and economy, and I fully intend to inflict CNReviews readers with such "serious" posts if it achieves my selfish purpose of clarifying my own thinking on issues I care about.
I have a lot of gratitude and respect for Dan Harris, Jeremy Goldkorn & Joel Martinsen, Sam Flemming, Rebecca MacKinnon, Thomas Crampton, Benjamin Joffe, Rich Brubaker, Will Moss, James Fallows, John Pomfret, David Wolf, Michael Pettis, Adam Minter, Richard Burger, George Godula, Gang Lu, Tangos Chan, Stan Adams, Jeremiah Jenne, Scott Sykes, and many others. But sometimes it just takes too much brainpower to follow everything you're saying.
My shameful blogger secret: sometimes I secretly skip my Danwei feed!
Here's a confession: more often than not, after a long day at work, I find myself secretly and shamefully avoiding my Danwei RSS feed (and yes, its always Danwei I feel most guilty about avoiding) to slouch over to the chinaSMACK RSS feed for a short, guilty, voyeuristic blog snack. That's what this post is about: where to get an interesting, spicy blog snack to make your English China blog experience more tasty.
Ten Eclectic China Blogs you should follow
The answer to English China blog fatigue is to start following some Atypical China Blogs. And, yes, some of the best are authored by "white dudes" (although some of them may in fact be "fake foreigners"…Adam Schokora comes to mind). Here they are, in reverse alphabetical order:
- Wangjianshuo.com
- Stylites in Beijing
- RedBox Review
- IfGoGo.com
- Expatriate Games
- China Youth Watch
- chinaSMACK
- 88 Bar (八八吧)
- 6
- 56minus1 (伍拾陸 minus 壹)
1. Wangjianshuo
Wangjianshuo's blog, one of the first and most consistently posting English blogs written by a native Chinese citizen, is a personal journal that provides insight into Chinese society through the eyes of a Chinese engineer who has progressed in his career to become the head of Baixing.com, a classifieds Website owned by eBay. He provides helpful insights to English-language people traveling to or living in Shanghai. What is great about Wangjianshuo's blog is that it is written by an English-as-a-Second-Language writer, which results in prose that is more accessible to other non-native English speakers. As a result, he gets English readers from across the world: Africa, India, Middle East, Russia, Philippines, etc. Read Wangjianshuo (rss) if you want to read a personal journal that also adds useful travel and relocation information for foreigners. Twitter: @jianshuo.
2. Stylites in Beijing (stylites.net)
Stylites in Beijing is apparently part of a fashion blog genre called the "street blog", and was recognized by H&M Magazine as one of the top 5 street blogs in the world. Nels Fryes, photographer and author of Stylites in Beijing, started capturing distinctive street fashion 2 years ago. Fryes also provides interesting little vignettes that showcase the diversity of experiences among Chinese people today. This blog is an excellent antidote to ignorant Westerners who think of Chinese as brainwashed, collectivist and oppressed people under the thumb of a totalitarian state. (You don't have to tell them that people walking around Nanluoguxiang or Sanlitun Village is not the "real" China). Follow Stylites in Beijing if you are interested in issues of culture, taste, and fashion, as a reflection of change in China's society.
3. RedBox Review
RedBox Review is run by Katherine Don, co-founder and Director of Red Box Studio, a Beijing-based contemporary art advisory firm. The blog features original articles, events listings, gallery reviews, and commentary on and links to other coverage on Chinese contemporary art. The blog is aimed at people who are either insiders already or interested in contemporary art. However, it provides an interesting view into what has been one of the hottest areas of contemporary art today, and an area that will undoubtedly face big changes as a result of the global economic meltdown. Follow RedBox Review (rss) to add the development of Chinese contemporary art to your view of China's changes. Twitter: @redboxbeijing
4. IfGoGo.com
IfGoGo is a group blog run by Aw Guo (Guo Qirui), who also runs a big Chinese-language blog called Awflasher.com, featuring Adobe Flash and other Web technologies. Entitled "Chinese in English," the blog provides a mix of personal stories, social commentary, and current events from the perspective of Chinese citizens, mostly of the generations born in the 1980s or 1990s. My favorite writers are Aw Guo, Cat Chen, and Lisa Lee, all of whom I've met in person. Side note: it has been shockingly hard to find Chinese who blog in English. I expected to find one "Wang Jianshuo" after another once I started digging, but after 16 months of looking, the only bloggers I found were the group on IfGoGo. If you know of any other native Chinese who blog consistently in English, please let me know. I wish they would blog more frequently. Follow IfGoGo.com (rss) if you want to hear Chinese voices, reflecting on the changes going on in China. Twitter: @awflasher @CatChen
5. Expatriate Games
Michael, the author of Expatriate Games, is a self-described "American experiencing mid-life" in China, with a focus on developing his photography skills and Photoshop skills. The result is a collection of portraits and photos that are evocative of China's diverse society. He seems to focus on portraits, seeking to connect with the essence of China's culture through its people. I think he goes a bit overboard with Photoshop, but his work provides an interesting window into contemporary China. Follow Expatriate Games (rss)to get a photographic exploration of China, from a newcomer to China that transparently expresses his experience. Twitter: @ExpatriateGames
6. China Youth Watch (chinayouthology.com)
Zafka Zhang (张安定) heads up a marketing consulting firm focused on Chinese youth marketing. This blog reflects that focus, observing brands, trends, creative culture, and Internet behavior of Chinese youth. The blog is not updated as frequently as many other China blogs, but has a nice "coolhunting" feel to it. Adam Schokora at 56minus1.com has a nice interview of Zafka Zhang. Expert on virtual worlds, involved in the Creative Commons movement, background as an experimental musician…Zafka seems impossibly…cool. Follow China Youth Watch (rss) to get a taste of youth culture…and Zafka's impossibly cool life! Follow Twitter: @chinayouthology @zafka
7. chinaSMACK
We've blogged about repeatedly since we started following Fauna and chinaSMACK in August 2008. I consider it the most successful China blog launch of 2008. Tight concept. Good execution in virtually all aspects. Good selection of coverage. Hot and viral, and potentially GFWbait. Kai wrote extensively about chinaSMACK as the leader in the translation wave of China English blogs. Follow chinaSMACK (rss) to read about hot and viral internet stories and the reactions they engender in the Chinese internet.
8. 88 Bar (八八吧)
Run by Lyn Jeffery, Director at Palo Alto's Institute For The Future, and by Jason Li, designer at Node in Barcelona, 88 Bar has a focus on technology and its impact on society. They are less frequent posters than some of the other bloggers, and are in the same blog "neighborhood" as Adam Schokora's 56 minus 1. Nevertheless, Jason and Lyn have the nose for the interesting, especially where technology and culture intersect. Follow 88 Bar (rss) if you want to catch interesting stories about values, technology, trends, and society. Twitter: @LynJ @JasonLi @IFTF
9. 6 (thinksix.net)
I hesitated to include 6 because its so new, but hey, we were new once too. Blogger Adam Ash started the blog right after the Olympics, and has settled into an intriguing format–to follow the lives of 6 people (including himself). He is studying Mandarin at Beida so the people he encounters are from that milieu. Maybe its the "Real World" voyeurism. Maybe its the cool blog name. Maybe the promise to bring to life the thoughts and feelings of a few Chinese people that has appeal to me. Anyway, I'll follow this blog and I hope those 6 people turn out to be pretty interesting! Follow 6 (rss) if you're interested in reading in-depth biographies of diverse young people in China today. Twitter: @AdamAsh
10. 56minus1 (伍拾陸 minus 壹)
In just about 6 months, Adam Schokora has launched one of the most intentionally eclectic, and unintentionally important, English China blogs in the blogosphere. It delivers authenticity and personal expression, the core of what makes a great blog. It also has sufficient cohesive focus to become a niche publication on creative culture, design, social media, youth, music, and "things well done" as observed from his Shanghai vantage point where he can survey the "cool" landscape with kids like Zafka Zhang (see above). Why 56 minus 1? Adam explains in a CityWeekend interview here. Follow 56minus1 (rss) if you want to add creativity, music, and light to your blogroll. Twitter: @ajschokora, @56minus1
What blogs do you think belong on this list?
With all the interesting blogs about there, it was hard to come up with a top 10 list. What do you think belongs on this list?
Update 4/22: Far West China
Josh at Xinjiang: Far West China deserves for his recent post on his favorite China blogs. In all my tizzy of trying to work in the "white-dude" comments, I forgot to mention his inspirational post. He included CNReviews on this list and thus caused us to want to "pay forward" the love to some other, smaller, but deserving blogs. He's got a concise blog list that includes the "right" major blogs as well as an interesting little blog called Hanzi Smatter that Josh characterizes as his Favorite Guilty Pleasure. Go check his post and Hanzi Smatter while you're at it.

Posted on August 5, 2014 Leave a Comment
When it comes to maternity photo shoots, many mothers-to-be focus on finding the right location and photographer; but an equally important factor that should be given special consideration is what you'll be wearing for the memorable event. Choosing an outfit or two that makes you feel comfortable and confident is essential in preparing for your maternity photo shoot, as the most stunning images radiate from an expectant mother who feels beautiful from the inside out. While there may be a gorgeous location captured on the best camera available, maternity photos will always look their best when the mother-to-be feels at-peace and assured with herself.

Staying active during pregnancy is extra important. Your body is going through so many changes as part of pregnancy, and growing in often uncomfortable ways.

With that in mind, here are our 5 workout outfit essentials to make exercise comfortable, flattering and fun.

MELFORT, Sask. - At an age when a lot of young boys are busy playing video games or skateboarding, Rene Constant is getting ready to hit the red carpet.
The 11-year-old has just received a nomination for a Saskatchewan Country Music Association award in the All-Star Band (drums) category.
Rene is the drummer for Constant Reminder, a band composed of himself and his two older brothers, Seth and Cole, who all reside on the James Smith Reserve.
His brothers originally created the band and when Rene was eight he picked up his first set of sticks to complete the trio.
Their mother, Karen, says the nomination has been a great thing for the family.
Rene is a self-taught musician who has developed his own technique through listening to his favourite drummer, Ringo Starr, and watching his uncle play.
�Rene would watch him play the drums, like he would sit there for hours just watching him, so he finally got into wanting to play,� says Karen.
�I�m really proud of him."
She says all her boys practice for hours every day, though she says the house rule is they have to do their homework first.

Questions & Answers
Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pan
Love this pan!
Laura from North Dakota
If I follow the suggestions of heating the pan first and then adding my oil, it cooks very well. Easy to clean with Barkeepers Friend. I suggest buying that in order to keep it looking brand new. Wish I could afford a whole set!
The quality cannot be beat
Matthew from East Boston, MA– Top 1000 Reviewer
This pan is absolutely amazing. I found it in the clearance center so I got a pretty good deal on it but after the first few times using it I would have paid full price for this item no doubt!!!
Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 5 Qt
Texas Mama from Texas– Verified Buyer
This is amazing for cooking for a large group or family. It heats very evenly & is certainly Calphalon quality. I love that it has an extra handle for easier lifting to the table. An added bonus is its oven safe to 450 degrees. Even better, I bought it on sale. Its my favorite pan by far.
Great product
Corvair Dan from Toronto Ontario Canada– Verified Buyer
Works fine, as expected. Find the handle a little small to control the pan when moving around. A little heftier width would have been nice.
the PinchCook from Ithaca, NY
Heavy so that it heats quickly & evenly, but not unwieldy to lift.
Quality Product
Mr.E.Man from CA
I like this pan. It heats evenly and quickly and it is easy to clean. It is well built and looks great. I also have an older Calphalon anodized aluminum saute pan. The lid on the older pan gets very hot and requires a hot pad to remove the lid. Not this new stainless pan. The lid remains cool enough to remove the lid bare handed.

Masticating Juicers Comparison
As you have probably read in our other pages or different websites, there are a lot of types of masticating juicers and they can be classified by their types, make and what they can be used for.
So which juicer to buy? There was a line somewhere else that caught my attention – "Choosing a juicer usually comes down to two things, your state of health and your state of wealth. There are many types of juicers around, it depends on the quality of juice required and how much you're willing to pay"
People usually like easy to clean, efficient juicers where replacement parts are easy to find.
Before comparing juicers, deciding what you want in the juicer
Whatever be the type or brand of juicer, it is important to have a few things like motor speeds and ease of cleaning in mind. Watch the below video for the basics before buying a juicer.
Compare how juicers work – Centrifugal and Masticating juicers
Now comes the general question of whether you want to buy a general centrifugal juicer or the masticating juicer. This website boasts its honesty, so let us tell you that masticating juicer. But these juicers do have an edge over the centrifugal juicer. Watch the below video that clearly explains the difference between the centrifugal and masticating juicers.
Compare how masticating juicers are made – Single or twin gear?
