Gnocchi Dokie!
Alright Patty Cake,
This is a little Gnocchi I threw together one day and then froze and am still eating occasionally, when the mood strikes me or usually when I'm too tired to make anything else.
So for the Gnocchi themselves you'll need:
One and One half of a pound of Sweet potato
One half of a pound of Squash (I used half an acorn squash, scooped of seeds of course)
12 Ounces of Ricotta Cheese
3 Ounces of Parmesean Cheese
About three cups of White All Purpose Flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
Fresh cracked pepper
Fresh ground nutmeg
2 Teaspoons of finely ground salt.
So making these little guys is all sorts of simple.
First put your Sweet Potatoes and Squash (you could use delicata or butternut if you'd like) in a steamer. Steam them to mush.
Let them cool completely then press them through a ricer or pull their skins off and mash them with a potato masher or the back of large spoon if you are really home Ghettonomic.
Next mix in your eggs, then your cheeses, then your salt, pepper, and grind about an eighth of a nutmeg into the mix, easy does it. Just enough for it to be fragrant. If you are using a pre-ground nutmeg just about a quarter of a teaspoon would be plenty.
Now little by little add in your flour mixing it with your hands.
It should stick together in a large mound, and have the consistency of soft fluffy play dough.
Then sprinkle extra flour on your work surface and start rolling it out into a long, play dough snake.
Then cut them into cute little pillows. Bite sized.
Then use a fork to poke each of them in the belly. This is so that they will cook through.
Next boil a pot of water. A huge one. Add enough salt that it tastes like sea water.
Drop your little gnocchi in so that they aren't over crowded. When they are done cooking they will float to the top and you can skim them off. Drain them on the side you can use a colander or a cookie cooling tray. Then put them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, or heavily butter/oiled and freeze them and transfer to plastic freezer bags so safe keeping until you need them.
You may want to save a little bowl of them on the side for the evening.
If you do can skip the step of boiling them again, and go straight to searing them.
To prepare them this way you will need:
Whole Sage leaves
So one variation of this recipe is what I have a picture of , you just foam* your butter (About a tablespoon and you drop in a sage leaf or two.) Let it warm up for just a moment then you drop in your gnocchi (10-15 pieces), let them sear just until they are crispy on the outside. Your taste buds will thank you.
Then there is another way
To prepare them this way you will need:
Pistachio Encrusted Gnocchi
Again have your thawed gnocchi ready, and foam about a tablespoon of butter and throw in your gnocchi (10-15 pieces) toss in about five or six chopped pistachios. They will stick to the sticky outsides of the gnocchi and make a delicious crust.
No matter which way you prepare them serve them with a little bit of greens on the side with fresh cracked pepper.

Hi Grace,
I've been with my boyfriend for about a year now and I genuinely feel like I've met the one for me. I've been through a fair amount of relationships in my time and have never felt this way before (cheesy but true!). He's pretty much perfect, except for the fact that my friends and family completely disapprove. Several years ago he was arrested for something he says he didn't do, and I believe him, but in a small community like ours it's hard for people to forget something like that, and I fear my friends and family never will. Is it possible to have a relationship with someone everyone you love looks down on? It didn't go so well for Romeo and Juliet, after all! Any thoughts welcome! Thanks, anonymous.
Dear Anonymous:
Thanks for a very interesting letter telling me about your somewhat unusual situation. You certainly have some difficulties to deal with at an apparently young age – I'm guessing from your comparison to Romeo and Juliet of course – and I hope you can learn from this experience and build a stronger relationship with your boyfriend.
As is many times the case, I have to make some assumptions about your story and ask some questions that you will have to answer for yourself. I presume from the delicate way you phrase it that he was actually convicted of a crime and punished for the same, but I could be wrong. I believe it makes a difference in your life because of the effect his story has had on the people you love, and the small town you all live in. If he was only arrested and not prosecuted but blamed nonetheless, then your family and friends have a very slender case to base their judgments on. If he served time then their position is much stronger, as you can surely understand.
However, it is clear that no matter what the reality is, you have accepted his story of what really happened, and you believe that he is innocent. Ask yourself very carefully and honestly, do I know the whole story, or am I only getting his side of it? Are there other reasons that everyone would feel the way they do about him and his history, or is it a simple case of being unforgiven unjustly?
Another important aspect of your situation is good and open communication – have you talked to him about your feelings, how he is perceived by your loved ones, and the obstacles these things represent for both of you? You have to be sure he understands the situation from your point of view so that the two of you can work together to solve the problem. Communication with those whose opinions you are concerned about is likewise vital – you possibly could find an ally who has some influence with others in the family and community.
Finally, if you are completely satisfied with his side of the story and you are genuinely in love with him, you may just have to accept that there will be repercussions from your decision to make a life together. But chances are things will change over time, especially if your boyfriend and future husband demonstrates beyond any doubt that he is a trustworthy and decent human being.

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > A Million and 1 Ideas
A Million and 1 Ideas5 Reviews
Basically i have an overload of story ideas i want to try out
If you think that any of the ideas would be a good story tell me ebcause i want to try it out :P
1. Rape, beat, rape, beat. By now LynZ should have been used to it all. She wanted to run but he wouldn't let her. She suffers the pain and still cant believe that one time there was a time they were happy. In love. Will she find the strength to leave? Or will someone save her?
^^ If this idea gets picked it would be my fist NC- 17 story due to the content that will be in it. I want to try a higher rating. Obviously with a higher rating i will probably put more detail into it and it will be sad.
2. This one wouldnt be as long but still want to try it. Cherry and Lilly 2 adorable twins belonging to Frank and Jamia Iero. But what happens when they both get killed in a tragic car accident and ends up living in the Black Parade with the general Gerard Way who was murdered by Frank Iero due to a bad incident that happened before they were born?
3. The killjoys are facinating. They always were. What if They all got wiped out except for Party Poison, Jet Star, Fun Ghoul and the Kobra Kid? They have to seek help from some one else. The Black Parade and maybe some people who are obsessed with the concept of Revenge and Croquet mallets.
Number 3 basically brings all the era's together into one super era which i think would be pretty cool :)
So tell me your thoughts and I myself cant even choose which one im mainly stuck between the first one and the third one to be honest :)
So lemme know xD

I've heard of the prohibition of the integral veil in the Swiss canton where i spent my life until the marriage and the transfer to Bahrain, it's a funny twist of fate, it's awful that i can't come back to my homeland veiled as required by my family. In the beginning it was a shock, the climate, food, the niqab, everything was traumatic for me, used to a common life as an european teenager but now i'm part of this community and i have a role in the education of my children. In the meantime i gave birth to my 6th child, he's a boy and i hope the last. But never say never, i'm only 29 y.o. :-)

This table, modeled after the PlayStation's Dualshock Controller, is impressive no matter what. But it's even cooler that it was constructed by a high school student in Australia.
It's built out of MDF and plywood, with the analog sticks attaching the glass to the base, and took 20 weeks to complete. I like the choice of a white PS3 controller instead of black — makes it a little more stylish in my opinion. He'll definitely have a popular dorm room once he graduates.

In the "Social Media: Do Big Companies Get It?" panel at SES Toronto, it turned out that the three presenters each offered a checklist of sorts. Though they shared more insight than just this, it's a handy way to sum up some of the knowledge they shared.
First, we have 5 Myths of Social Media, from Mark Evans:
- Social media is free -- not when you count your time, money, and resources.
- Social media is easy -- it's not.
- Social media is about the tools -- but tools are worthless without a clear goal of what you want them to do.
- Social media is a standalone activity -- it's not an add-on, it needs to be built in from the beginning.
- Measuring ROI is difficult -- but there are lots of tools to track, monitor, and measure activity.
Then, we have 7 Mistakes of Social Media, from Krista Neher:
- Focusing on the Numbers -- instead of building an audience of people who care about what you're doing.
- Hijacking the conversation -- instead of joining it.
- Spamming -- instead of respecting the conversation.
- Being irrelevant -- instead of joining conversations where you fit in.
- Being boring -- instead of giving people something that interests them, not just yourself.
- Not being committed -- instead of being there to respond when people have questions/concerns.
- Not playing nice -- instead of being kind and respectful to everyone.
Finally, there's 5 Ways to Impact Your Ranking on Social News Sites from Guillaume Bouchard:
- Content -- "To make a long story short, you have to make a long story short."
- Platform -- "Digg is allergic to commercial sites."
- Submitter -- more important in Digg than StumbleUpon.
- Category -- The category you choose to write in will affect the level of competition you face.
- Solicitation -- The number of votes doesn't affect Digg's algorithm as much as StumbleUpon's

God and Dementia
- Thursday, August 16, 2012
Editor's Note: Pastor Roger Barrier's "Ask Roger" column regularly appears at Preach It, Teach It. Every week at Crosswalk, Dr. Barrier puts nearly 40 years of experience in the pastorate to work answering questions of doctrine or practice for laypeople, or giving advice on church leadership issues. Email him your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Roger,
If a person were a Christian and served God faithfully before getting Dementia will God condemn them for sins committed after getting Dementia? That is, if they do not remember to ask for His forgiveness?
Sincerely, Debra
Dear Debra,
Dementia is a terrible thing. We all know someone, or of someone, who is mentally degenerating. Also, we all know of one or more families who are facing years of long-term debilitating care for a loved one who is losing his/her mind.
One of the pastors in our church, we'll call him Paul, had a dementia-ridden mother-in-law who was under he and his wife's care. She was living with them and their children. The tension at home was increasing with each passing day.
One morning at work he was telling us about an incident the night before when mother-in-law had a headache. Paul came into the kitchen to find her taking aspirin to remove her headache pain. How many doses had she taken? Fortunately, it was not enough to warrant stomach pumping. The aspirin bottle was rather full. So, Paul took the bottle of aspirin away and hid it from mother-in-law.
Paul proceeded to make a light-hearted joke about how tempting it was to leave the aspirin bottle open on the counter. Their problem would be solved by morning! We all chuckled. It was funny.
Then, Paul began to cry.
Debra, about the only passage in the Bible that has to do directly with dementia is found in Ecclesiastes 12:1-8 . Solomon painted a poetical picture of what it's like to grow old and die. It is not a pretty picture. Every part of the body is slowing down and declining—including the brain and the mind—until finally the "golden bowl" is broken.
You ask, can someone with dementia sin? Of course they can! In the early stages of dementia people are still cognizant of their actions and responsible for what they do. They are able to repent, confess and ask for forgiveness. However, I believe that there comes a time in the latter stages when they have little concept of where they are and what they are doing. Suppose that one in the last stages of dementia picks up a knife in anger and stabs someone—and within minutes the act is entirely forgotten. Their behavior is certainly sinful. However, it is not possible for that demented one to deal appropriately with the consequences—including confession and repentance in order to receive forgiveness.
In this case I can't imagine that God would hold this sin against the demented one. God's grace, mercy and forgiveness will surely be forthcoming.
Now, let's be clear that no one goes to Heaven based on whether or not they have unforgiven sin when they die. When we received Christ all of our sins were forever forgiven. Nothing we can do in the future can take away salvation—whether we lose our minds or not (Read Romans 8:28-39).
Those in the final stages can certainly commit sinful acts. But, it matters little whether or not they ask for forgiveness. According to the Bible, the blood Jesus shed on the cross covers all of our sin.

Musk's tweet was retweeted 449 times, according to Twitter. Tesla share volume of 2.4 million topped the 30-day average of 2 million. Also, Tesla's ticker was one of the most trending on ticker chat-room StockTwits.com, implying that discourse about the shares -- flagged by the cashtag $TSLA -- was higher than normal. Because of Musk's past Silicon Valley successes (PayPal) and the product (electric cars), Tesla is a lightening rod for day-trader interest. Besides speculation about Musk's tipped investment, some of the chatter revolved on the appropriateness of Musk's public comments.
$TSLA popping on that @elonmusk tweet. It's cool and all, but when are regulators going to say what's kosher? — Conor Sen (@conorsen) March 25, 2013
A Tesla spokesperson couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Wydnor Hall Inn Bed & Breakfast Bethlehem, PA Northampton County
Historic Wydnor
Historic Pile of Rubble Becomes Stately Guest House At Wydnor
Hall Inn
In pre-revolutionary times, Wydnor Hall was a 90-acre estate named
"Bordaria", which was part of the "Walking Purchase" portion of the land-grant owned by William Penn and his sons on a deed dated
Charles & Kristina Taylor purchased Wydnor in derelict condition
twenty years ago with the intention of preserving its heritage.
The Taylors have just completed the restoration and expansion of an 18th century structure believed to be the original
dwelling on the property.
Separate from the manor house, the renovated "Bordaria Cottage" is now a secluded two-story guest house; and can accommodate four people in luxurious privacy for short or extended
In order to adapt the manor house to its current use as a bed and breakfast inn, the Taylors had carried-out an extensive
renovation. The nearby guest house is named "Bordaria Cottage" to restore the historic name to current use.
Owned by the Weidner family and their descendants during the 19th century, the Bordaria estate subsequently suffered years of neglect and was converted to apartments in the 1940s. It was sold at sheriff's
sale in 1963, and finally rescued by the Taylors in 1986.
The Inn is celebrating 20 years of hospitality this year. It is notable for its sumptuous furnishings, heirloom
antiques, crystal chandeliers, and beautiful works of art. In the handsome Dillon Dining Room, breakfast is served
on fine china with sterling silver and crystal. The Inn has been host to world leaders, celebrities, performers, wedding
couples, family reunions, and corporate meetings.
The restoration of the 18th century foundation and construction of the second floor addition was supervised by Dennis
Reiss of American Heritage Restoration, and carried-out by his crew of Mennonite craftsmen. Dennis Reiss and Kristina
Taylor collaborated on the design.
You are invited to enquire about reserving our newest
luxury suite, the "Bordaria Cottage", which is now available for booking after May 1st 2009.
Restoration of the Settler's House is being managed
by Dennis Reiss of American Heritage Restoration, a renovation company that had completed much of the earlier work
at Wydnor.

Milwaukee has made reunited with a bullpen piece from the past.
Chris Cotillo has tweeted out that the Brewers have re-signed Francisco Rodriguez on a one-year major league deal. The news comes after Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reported that the two sides were in talks earlier today.
Rodriguez, or 'K-Rod,' pitched for three seasons in the Milwaukee season, compiling a 7-8 record with a 3.15 record before being traded to Baltimore for minor leaguer Nick Delmonico. K-Rod, 32, posted an outstanding 10.4 K/9 and a 3.86 K/BB ratio, although that ratio was 5.60 once he joined the Orioles.
The deal is for $3.25 million with an additional $550,000 in incentives, and Rodriguez would figure to be either in the setup or closer role along with Jim Henderson.

Both sides have super hi-tech machinery, knowledge of science, and an abundance of smart people who understand this s**t more that your average dude and they still don't have a clue that they where fighting humanoid lifeforms until they saw each other.
What the hell?! Even in the real world we would have known if they were humanoid lifeforms by the gravity, temperature of the planet, water, and other factors. Even if it is just a hypothesis, at least they have some idea what they're fighting against and not just going by what the media and our imaginations tell. But they can even do that in this anime, at least make x-ray vision or something.

SI Prizm MFrame - Oakley
Oakley Standard Issue has developed an array of contrast enhanced Prizm lenses...
LAPD SWAT members may have resold department handguns for a profit, according to an independent watchdog's report.
Chief Charlie Beck addressed the report Tuesday at the Los Angeles Police Commission meeting, saying he was disappointed, reports ABC News.
The report indicated that members potentially sold Kimber 1911 pistols with a special "LAPD SWAT" insignia. The pistols are sold to officers in the unit for about $600 each—a steep discount from their resale valule between $1,600 and $3,500, reports the Los Angeles Times.
One officer has been relieved of duty.

Tim @ 8/30/2012 5:16 AM
I don't have any problem with this as long as the guns didn't end up in the hands of degenerate criminal dirtbag scum.
Dan @ 9/11/2012 6:16 AM
It is just plain wrong to profit from the discount afforded them because of their position. Was there no oversight on these sales on conditions they not re-sell the guns?

Once Upon a Time
Fall deep into hypnosis with me as I lead you through an epic tale of adventure that draws you deeper with every arousing detail. As I guide you through this faerie tale, you'll find it more and more difficult to distinguish between your own experience and the story I'm telling you, and once I have control of your inner-story, you'll always want to hear my sexy voice narrating the story of your life,won't you, sweet Treasure?
The main track has mild vocal effects, and additional subliminal deep conditioning tracks provide sexy, compelling programming. Even once you're familiar with the story, you'll find yourself listening over and over again to benefit from the effects of this deep erotic conditioning on your subconscious mind.
Prior training with my free "Mantra" recording enhances aspects of the listening experience, but this is not a prerequisite. This is a great session for exploring feelings of deep goddess worship, and also for extreme relaxation and unwinding into letting my voice sweep you away into a fantasy realm of beautiful devotion!

One of the more controversial provisions included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act) is the requirement for individuals to purchase and maintain health insurance coverage. Commonly referred to as the individual mandate, the constitutionality of this requirement is the subject of litigation. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear appeals from an 11th Circuit Court ruling that struck down the individual mandate. Both the 6th Circuit and the Washington, DC Circuit have issued opinions upholding the legality of the individual mandate.
The issue from a layman's view appears to be whether Congress can pass a law that: (1) requires individuals to purchase something (in this case health insurance) from a third party and (2) imposes a financial penalty those who fail to make the required purchase.
The government's rationale for the individual mandate is as follows. By requiring everyone able to pay the cost of insurance coverage to do so, healthy individuals cannot opt out of the insurance pool. If healthy people were to opt out, rates for those insured would be higher than if the healthy people also purchased insurance. The penalty is intended to incent those people who are wavering to purchase the required coverage.
Those who object to the individual mandate believe that imposing a penalty on individuals for their failure to purchase goods or services from a commercial business is a violation of personal liberty guaranteed by the United States Constitution. If Congress can require citizens to purchase health insurance, what else may we have to purchase?
The ultimate decision of the Supreme Court may depend on whether the penalty provision is considered a tax. Under the Constitution, Congress is given substantial powers to collect taxes in order to provide for the general welfare of the country and its people. Unfortunately, for those who favor the individual mandate, and primarily for political reasons, Congress avoided referring to the penalty as a tax when drafting and voting on the Affordable Care Act. Apparently, political expediency was valued more than political leadership.

Alchemist - My guess would be one of the following:
- A permanent flask that transforms you into a beast (riding or flying, depending on your skill) The beast could vary depending on your faction, or even race. Or it could even randomly choose between various beasts each time you use it. (Random would be the most fun, IMO.)
-a permanent flask that gives you wings of some kind, like paladins, that allows you to fly. The only thing weird about this would be what they would do for ground mounts. They could make you sprout Centaur-like legs, but IDK if they could make this look cool for all races or not.
-they could do a flying mortar but i personally think that would look kinda dumb. And most people probably wouldn't know what it is and be like, "WTF is that??" And that would leave us with no ground mount.
-another option would be a permanent flask that just granted us the power to fly or run fast, without changing our appearance, but this would be kinda boring and would make it look like people were hacking.
Others profession mounts I'd like to see:
Enchanters - Broomstick (flying and riding, like the Hallow's End mounts)
Leatherworkers - Hang glider with giant animal skin wings (a motor made by engineers could be one of the mats) For a ground mount they could do a land windsurfer with a big animal skin sail.

Jan. 16, 2012—Community members are invited to a free presentation about how North Central College students are helping a local company export its products in China.
More than 100 students from across the country traveled to North Central College for the 2012 Blue Key National Conference, which took place Jan. 13-14.
The students represented 13 different colleges and universities, ranging from the University of Portland in Oregon to Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. Over the course of the conference, students had the opportunity to participate in a vast array of activities.
After seeing the struggles of Haitian people during a service trip to Haiti, Erica added global studies with a focus on developing states to her French major. "I did follow-up research, confirming my passion for helping people. Then my professors challenged me and showed me different ways to research other cultures and solve problems."
She also traveled to Kenya for a summer service trip, worked with Habitat for Humanity during spring break and studied abroad in France. "I learned more about my world and had a chance to see how the cultures and politics work, thanks to North Central."
On campus, Erica was involved in the Cercle Francais student club, International Justice Mission and the College's Model United Nations program. "Anyone who's interested in global studies should do Model UN. You serve on committees that interest you. I served on child slavery and poverty committees, which pushed my research and compassion to a whole new level."
Humanitarian Samantha Nutt, an authority on how war impacts civilians, will address honors students from across the nation Jan. 13 when North Central College hosts the 2012 Blue Key National Conference.
The Blue Key Honor Society recognizes college students at senior institutions of higher education for balanced and all-around excellence in scholarship, leadership and service. Nearly 120 students are expected to participate in the three-day national conference Jan. 13-15.

Alexander III of Macedon, or more popularly known as Alexander the Great, was educated by Aristotle before he inherited the Macedonian kingdom from his father Philip upon Philip's assassination in 336 B.C. [source: BBC History]. He spent the years 334-331 B.C. conquering the Mediterranean region. Before setting out to conquer regions around Macedonia, however, Alexander had to take care of some domestic issues. Questions arose regarding his right to the throne -- his mother was from neighboring Epirus. One of Alexander's first tasks when ascending to the throne following his father's death was to order the execution of all of his Macedonian enemies. He then had to put down rebellions in several conquered nations [source: History of Macedonia].
Alexander the Great defeated the Persian army of Memnon of Rhodes in just one day, with barely any losses. After conquering Asia Minor, Alexander moved south to defeat Persian King Darius III, despite Darius' offer to share his empire. At that point, Alexander took some of the Persian royal treasure, which he sorely needed. The Macedonian army defeated Tyre after a seven-month siege and Gaza after a two-month siege. His army reportedly killed 7,000 people and sold 30,000 more as slaves as part of the siege of Tyre.
During the winter of 332-331 B.C., Alexander was a pharaoh in Egypt, where he was welcomed after having defeated Persian rule; there he built the city of Alexandria. After Darius' defeat at Issus, he had fled to Babylon and assembled a new army. Alexander defeated him again, and when Darius escaped, Alexander took the title of Great King of the Persian Empire, claiming that their former king had renounced his power.
Alexander's army continued traveling to the rest of the Persian capitals from 331-330, conquering and collecting spoils. Darius continued to retreat until a relative of his, Bessus, killed him. The Macedonian army conquered areas near the Caspian Sea and in Russian Turkestan and Afghanistan in 330-327. In about 325 B.C., Alexander was wounded in a battle with the Mali in India. He died of a fever in 324 B.C.

Diversity and Difference
Diversity involves difference, but not all difference is diversity. Diversity requires a background of sameness, of a shared nature and shared values. Diversity is difference that still speaks to us, presenting possibilities we might pursue and challenges to which we might rise. Diversity is difference in which we see ourselves, in both our possibilities and our failures.
As biological specimens, humans vary in innumerable ways, small and large, but not all biological difference is the kind of diversity we celebrate. Diversity involves the differences that matter, that reveal our essences and that challenge our self concepts. We are revealed to ourselves by what we recognize as diversity and how we respond to it. Differences can matter to us in two different ways, in ways that celebrate who we are and in ways the challenge it.
We notice some differences because they demonstrate the full potentialities of a form and nature that we share, because they reveal more perfectly what we might be and the beauty of a form in which we participate, that is us. There are countless kinds of laughter, of smiles, of dancing, music, cuisine, and culture. There is a dazzling panoply of different kinds of well-formed human bodies, faces, movements, and expressions. Plato had seen long ago that a fundamental feature of form is its expansiveness, its ability to expand outward into more and more different reflections of itself. In the Timaeus, he remarks of the creator that it would have been regarded jealous, or miserly, had it held back any measure of its overflowing goodness, any possible reflection of its form. Normally we make choices and pursue one possibility, disciplining ourselves to the perfection of one possible flowering of form. But it is the essence of joy and of celebration to overflow boundaries, to seek more and more expressions of ourselves. Differences are beautiful because they are us, our human form, our nature, unconstrained by the boundaries that limit one individual and allowed to flower freely. They celebrate a fullness of human life that no one of us can hold.
Difference can also challenge us. But how it challenges us also reveals who we are, our most fundamental faults, and our most essential value. As far as I can see, differences challenge us in three related ways: (a) they challenge the integrity of the communities in which we develop most fully; (b) they reveal to us our vulnerabilities and fears; and (c) they reveal to us our moral failings. Diversity flowers from the similarity behind our differences and, in so doing, reveals our failures to remain true to our common source.
All of the various forms of our individuality require nurturing and care within a community or family. The purpose of a family or a community, of civilization itself, is to allow for the safety, security, and intimacy in which our individuality can grow and perfect itself most freely. There is in us, therefore, a deeply ingrained, perhaps even biological, tendency to resist the stranger, the different, whatever threatens our communities. There is a fundamental tension involved here: On the one hand we see the necessity of communities that nurture our individuality: we all know what it is like to belong, to be brought inside, to come home. On the other hand, it is the very preciousness of this sanctuary that leads us to exclude those who are different enough to make us feel them a challenge to its integrity. Every community that aims to be diverse must struggle with this tension: We build a community on shared values to foster the growth of the forms of individuality we have chosen, but this makes us exclude those who do not share those values. It is a mark of our status as creatures that we can express the diversity of human nature only in particular ways, as the individuals we choose to be, and that these choices exclude others.
But all this begs the question: Why do we feel difference to be a threat? What differences matter enough to place someone on the outside? What differences define our community? Who is our neighbor? The strong need not fear, and what we know with certainty can admit no doubt. This means that the differences that threaten us reveal our weak spots. Just as we only revel in the diversity that reflects back on our common nature, so we only fear the differences that still present real possibilities for us, that still have some secret hold on us, the reveal some weakness. If someone likes broccoli, while we are allergic to it, we do not feel threatened by their difference. When a difference really gets under our skin, it is always because, in some sense, it really is already within our skin. We feel the pull of that alternative in our common humanity; the spark that lights its fire feeds our flame too. But we feel it pulling us away from the space we have created for our own individuality.
Of course, this reveals the answer to the question "Who is our neighbor?" and the most fundamental way in which difference challenges us. Beneath every difference, in the face that looks out at us, we feel the common spark, the common nature that makes them feel different to us. They are us. Their individuality tries to express the same life as ours. They deserve what we deserve. And yet we feel their difference. They are on the outside, and we fear to let them in. They are our neighbors, yet we cannot bring ourselves to treat them as ourselves. One of Dostoevsky's major insights was that we do not hate people because of what they are or what they did, but because of what we did to them or what they make us see about ourselves. Seeing difference indicts us of our inability to rise above it. It reminds us of what we would rather not see: that all men are our neighbors and that we cannot bring ourselves to love them as ourselves. Much of the hatred we feel for those different than us involves this deflection of guilt and a demonizing of their differences to escape it.
Now, diversity is not the absence of discrimination. The purpose of education is to make certain kinds of discriminations, between the true and the false, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Valuing diversity does not mean that anything goes and that all alternatives are equal. We don't value a diversity of answers to the question "What does 2 times 3 equal?" Debating our differences about how we make these discriminations is no threat to the real basis of our community. But some human differences are expressions of what we have in common, and the value of our humanity lies in the common spark from which our individuality flows. We may not make the same discriminations another person does, but if we find our differences worth talking about we recognize them as flowing from values we share. We may not love the actions and opinions of every person in their diverse forms, but we are called to love the spark of humanity, in all its conflicts and convolutions, that gives rise to them. They are us; they are our neighbor, and the hospitality of a community that brings them inside can only make it stronger.
There are many kinds of diversity: diversity of styles and preferences, diversity of cultures, diversity of religious belief, diversity of gender and sexual preference, diversity of races and nationalities, diversities too diverse for enumeration; yet all of them reflect our similarities as much as our differences. Diversity celebrates the flowering of the full potential of being human and challenges us to ask of those who, in their flowering, are different from us: Where can I belong, if they do not belong? What do I fear in myself if I fear them? How can I value myself, if I do not value them?
Hitting the Broadside of a Barn
Somewhere Aristotle says something to the effect that: "The truth is like the broadside of a barn. Everybody hits it." By this, I presume he meant that everybody grasps some part of the truth. Not necessarily the whole, not necessarily with clarity or precision, not necessarily with confidence about which part, but nobody gets it 100% wrong.
I would qualify Aristotle's "everybody" with "everybody intelligent and thinking." The qualifier "intelligent" is not meant to mark a hoity-toity upper limit such as only "us educated folk" or "we PhDs" or "me and my fellow professional academics" but rather a lower limit. IQs in some people plummet to such depths that some people are no longer to be counted among Aristotle's "everybody." Similarly, "thinking" is not meant to indicate some rarefied phenomenon but rather to exclude obvious absences of the use of intelligence such as when a person is sleeping, under hypnosis, insane, intoxicated, whacked out on drugs, and the like.
The practical takeaway from Aristotle's remark is, I think, the following. Whenever people (people intelligent and thinking) think something is true, then the fair way of dealing with them is always to search for what part of the truth they have grasped and to give them credit for it. Even when we are sure that their beliefs or convictions are ultimately wrong, we should always attempt to determine how they too have hit the barn in some fashion. This is respecting another person as a rational being.
Here is a case in point. The other day I found Frank Keating in an essay of his expressing a sentiment that I have heard many other people express at different times. Frank Keating is clearly intelligent. He went to Georgetown as an undergrad, earned a JD, served as a U.S. Attorney and as Associate Attorney General in the DOJ, was twice elected Governor of Oklahoma, and in the early 2000's was picked to head the investigation of U.S. Catholic priests in the child sex abuse scandal. He also was clearly thinking when he wrote "The Death Penalty: What's All the Debate About?" In the essay, he tells the story of Roger Dale Stafford, who was the first person executed in Oklahoma on his watch as governor. He asks the reader:
"Tell me what you do with a Roger Dale Stafford who, south of Interstate 35 in Oklahoma City, waved down a car with a staff sergeant of the Air Force and his wife and their eight-year-old son inside. Stafford took the staff sergeant over the hill and shot him in the face, killing him. This was a robbery, yet he also took his wife over the same berm and shot and killed her. Then he came down to the truck, and, whimpering in the back of the cab of the truck, wrapped up in blankets trying to get away from it all, was the eight-year-old son; Stafford fired until he was out of bullets into the back of the truck to make the whimpering stop. Then he went to a steakhouse in Oklahoma City, a family restaurant. As it was closing up, he herded four fifteen-year-olds and two adults into the freezer and killed them execution-style while taking money from the cash register. Now, what do you do with someone like that?"
Frank Keating's own answer to this question is that we should execute people like Roger Dale Stafford, and he, as Governor, allowed the execution of Roger Dale Stafford to continue without a stay in 1995. Thus, Frank Keating is in favor of the death penalty.
As far as I can tell, Frank Keating's answer to his question is wrong because the death penalty is wrong. We do not get to execute people, not even people as depraved as Roger Dale Stafford. Thus, at least so far, I think Frank Keating has missed the broadside of the barn.
But the sentiment that I am interested in is Frank Keating's explanation of why he thinks the death penalty is justified. He says:
"According to my sense of ethics, my sense of morals, my sense of right and wrong, you don't chop off someone's hand for bouncing a check, but somebody who kills nine human beings forfeits the right to live. That is my sense of values, my sense of ethics. I look at someone like that [Roger Dale Stafford] and I think to myself that this good earth, this wonderful land, is too good for that person. I honestly believe that."
What, if anything, is right about this heartfelt conviction?
Perhaps many things. But I can find two things right, and I give Frank Keating credit for recognizing those two.
First, Frank Keating is right that this good earth, this wonderful land, is too good for Roger Dale Stafford. But it is also too good for me, you, and every other person that lives, has lived, or will live in this country or on this planet. I can find nothing in what I have ever done or in what anybody else has ever done that makes me or them deserving of the goodness and splendor of this life. This life, this world, is a great gift that none of us have earned. Nor can I find any evidence that this world or some God owes us this life, this world. We puny human beings are simply undeserving. We don't earn this life, and nobody and nothing owes it to us. This truth is piercingly clear in scoundrels like Roger Dale Stafford. But it is also obvious in the glorious, crescendos of life: when we fall in love; when our children are born; when we melt in the panorama of a high mountain just climbed; and when we finally see the light of truth. We do not deserve so much of what we enjoy. But from that fact it does not follow that we get to willfully deprive others of this life, this world.
Second, Frank Keating is right that banishment or exclusion can be a reasonable and justified response to wrongdoing. Time-out for little children, suspension from school, eviction from movie theaters, barring from Wall Street, ostracism from Athens, transportation to North America and later to Australia, removal to penal colonies like Devil's Island, and placement in the Phantom Zone (as in Superman comics) might all be perfectly good ways to deal with wrongdoers. Banishment by death, however, is no part of the broadside of the barn.

Everyday on my dashboard. i see super skinny girls or girls with nice clothes that i wish id be able to fit. Society doesn't accept anyone that looks like me. Fat girls are always frowned upon. i see girls just with they hair hanging have 10k+ notes. I bet everything I have if that girl were fat like me she wouldn't have as many notes. It's sad how society is now a days. Only certain type of girls are beautiful. And if you don't look like that type of girl you aren't shit. But hey…. I'm just one fat girl. what does my word mean. probably nothing.
this makes me wanna cry.
Alright, guy checking in here with some logic. Attraction is a subconscious thing. I can't help it if I'm attracted to certain body types and not to others. Our instincts are still largely based on "survival of the fittest," and frankly, not to be a jerk or anything, but people like this are not among the "fittest"- as such, my mind subconsciously rejects them as attractive. And in all honestly, in case anyone calls the whole "subconscious" thing a cop-out, I also have a very conscious opinion regarding this matter. Being obese is unhealthy, and I personally refuse to play any part in making people think that it's okay to be that way. Now, I will never, ever say anything mean or hurtful to someone who is overweight, and I do think that people who would make fun of someone for stuff like that should all go to hell. But I will most certainly not endorse a completely sedentary & unhealthy lifestyle by "accepting" it as okay. Quit wallowing in self-pity about how society hates you and go make a change in your life.
I know this is an incredibly unpopular opinion to have, especially among the general population of tumblr, but stuff like this honestly pisses me off. The more you "accept" obesity, the more you are encouraging each and every obese person to continue eating themselves into an early grave. Consider that for a second, and then ask yourself who the real bad guy in this situation is.
EDIT: I also wanna clarify that I see nothing wrong with having a little meat on your bones. Being overly skinny is just as unhealthy as being obese. And I honestly find several girls who are a bit above the "average" weight to be very attractive. I just draw the line when it becomes legitimately unhealthy.
I agree - obesity and the urge to be nothing but skin and bones are both extremely detrimental in their own right. In fact, obesity and its related dietary isues are the biggest killer in the United States today.
I can't claim to have struggled with either, as I've played sports and exercised my entire life. However, there is something that I believe we all have in common - we don't eat well. A big part of this is no one is teaching their kids how to cook anymore (heck, half the would-be teachers don't know how), so we go to the stores or fast-food and buy stuff that is terrible for us.
Now, I'm no expert on diets, but this guy is..and he even has a sense of humor:
(skip to 4:20 if you want to get straight to the point)
I would have to say… I think she would even admit that she would not want a man who is extremely overweight?
We as a society have turned our backs on smoking. And I am will admit, I was a smoker. I would be shunned on the street corner, parents would pull their children away from me, restaurants said no to me, work would not allow me to smoke and then come back into the office right after… Wow, totally shunned.
Smoking was a choice and I choose to change.
Being severely overweight is a choice. Body shape is hereditary… 100 lbs, is not.
I read one comment that we should bless this woman (and many men and women alike) and we should… However, we do not have to encourage, through acceptance, a severely unhealthy lifestyle. Just as we shun smokers, drug addicts, alcoholics and other addicts… What is the difference between those and addictions to sugar and fat?
I say this as a 37 your old woman. I have struggled with my weight and excused it as body shape. NOT TRUE. I was a chubby child, young adult, lost weight and gained it back because I reverted back to old ways. I got up to 220 lbs and I am only 5'3".
I picked up a chicken breast, lean meats, veggies, watched my portion control (ate SLOWLY and stopped eating when I was full instead of stuffed) and worked out 30 mins a day, took the stairs, parked a little farther, drank water, water and MORE WATER, instead of a 5 minute smoke break I took a 5 minute walk to clear my mind at work (helped me quit smoking too). I did all of that in exchange of the sugars, processed food, TV, and boredom. In over 5 years, I have not complained of boredom. I lost 90lbs in 9 months… And I have gained an ouce back. With diet, exercise and WATER… no excess skin with a muscle tone.
I will never go back. I see what put me at 220 and I see what put me at 130. I see there is never a reason to be 220 again. If you feel that "society does not accept" you… Then change.
I hate to be blunt!

Adult Fiction DUNCAN
Summary: The past fifteen years have not been kind to Celebre, the greatest city on the Florengian face of a dodecahedral world. Its walls have been breached and its Doge humiliated by the evil Bloodlord Stralg; all four of its heirs kidnapped and taken over the Edge to Vigaelia; its Dogaressa forcibly impregnated by Stralg and--when her husband's health begins to fail--left to rule over a city teeming with Stralg's troops. And if you think Stralg is bad, wait until you meet his sister Saltaja, a fanatic who sees no human cost as too great to keep the Hrag dynasty in power and her goddess--evil Xaran, the Mother of Lies--appeased. But there are a few great hopes for the future of the city: the Mutineer, Marno Cavotti, who will not stand to see his hometown destroyed and is massing a powerful liberation movement mere inches beyond Stralg's grasp. And the four heirs of Celebre--each with god-given expertise in their respective fields of artistry, combat, wisdom, or death--are wending their way back over the Edge to their birthplace. Of course, even as Marno and the Celebre children are working towards the common goal of defeating the Hrags, they're all painfully aware that once that hurdle is crossed only one of them can wind up on the throne. Continuing the storyline set out in Children of Chaos , Mother of Lies is a fierce, kinetic romp that will keep readers guessing until the last blow is dealt.
