Open Adoption: My Journey
When I was a little girl, I never dreamt I would become pregnant and place a child for adoption. I didn't understand until I saw the caseworkers walk out the hospital door with my newborn son Phoenix, the finality of my decision. It was heartbreaking and for awhile I struggled with where I was in that. The great part of my story, the part I reflect on when times are hard is the perfect family he became a part of. I didn't have a family picked out. He was going to a foster family, whom I knew nothing about. When I met the foster mom, I asked her how my baby was doing. When she replied, I was blown away by her authenticity… [more]
My Postpartum Experience
Since Jenna recently informed me that today is BlogHer Blog Act for Mothers Act Day, I too will be blogging about my personal postpartum experiences today. I honestly do not remember a whole lot of anything that would be considered Post Partum Depression after giving birth to Noah. He was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for weeks after his birth. I was a young, first time mother. Because of Noah's special needs, we qualified for some family counseling through the hospital which allowed me to vent about whatever I was feeling be it hormonal or just new mother fears. That was very helpful. Now I beleive that as a birthmother the postpartum depression gets thrown in with the grieving process that a birthmother… [more]
Birth Control
Birth control may seem like an odd topic for a blog on crisis/unplanned pregnancies but it is something that you may want to begin thinking about. Towards the end of both of my pregnancies, I can recall my doctor or a nurse asking me if I had given thought to birth control method of choice I would be using after the birth of my babies. It's a good idea to start thinking now about what birth control method will work best for you. Even if you have sworn off men and sex, it is still a wise idea to go ahead and be on birth control as a precaution. Nowadays there are many different types of birth control in which a woman can… [more]
Change in Closeness with Adoptive Parents
One unexpected predicament that some birthmothers have to face after relinquishment is a change in the relationship between themselves and the adoptive family, this typically happens more often between the expectant mother and the prospective adoptive mother. Several birthmother friends have experienced this and I dealt with it myself. During her pregnancy, once she has chosen an adoptive family, some expectant mothers begin to spend a lot of free time with or talking to the adoptive parents. Often times the adoptive mother may accompany the expectant mother to her doctor appointments. They also may talk on the phone frequently, exchange emails, instant message each other, hang out, etc. Their talk doesn't solely revolve around the baby and adoption anymore. They are becoming friends, bonding, and growing… [more]
Does it get any Easier?
A common question I hear from new birthmothers is "does it get any easier?" It in that question is referring to the immense emotional pain and grief a new birthmother feels. I un-fondly remember being a new birthmother. Those first few days home from the hospital were so incredibly hard. All I really did was lie around and cry. Your body is still tired from just having given birth and in my case my body was healing from a c-section as well. So aside from just being physically exhausted and worn out, I was on emotional overload. Being at home and recuperating was terrible. I came home from the hospital on a Sunday and J (hubby now, boyfriend then) had to go… [more]
Lessons Learned from Adoptive Mothers and Adoptees
In my last post, I talked about the lessons I have learned as a birthmother. But I have also learned many things and lessons from the adoptive mothers and adoptees I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know on my adoption journey. The list below may not be things that every adoptive mother or adoptee will agree with or feels as well, but the things and feelings of the adoptive mothers and adoptees I have met along the way.
- I've learned from adoptive mothers that they are normal people too who make mistakes, need breaks, have marital problems, etc... Often times, society, adoption agencies, and our own minds may put them on a pedestal and paint
Lessons Learned from being a Birthmother
My journey as a birthmother has taught me many things. Some of these things or "lessons" are things I already knew but have been reaffirmed in my walk as a birthmother while others specifically relate to adoption and I didn't know as an outsider.
- I've learned to be more compassionate. I was already a compassionate person but adoption and being a birthmother has taught me to be even more compassionate towards other people.
- I've learned to root for the underdog. I consider an expectant mother who is single and doesn't have a lot material wise to be the under dog. More and more I find myself rooting for her, helping these women that cross my path to know that they
"Regret is insight that comes a day too late." ~ Unknown I think the question I probably get asked the most from both birthmothers and pregnant women considering adoption alike has to be "Do you regret your decision to place your baby for adoption?" On the surface, one might think that question would have a simple yes or no answer. But oh boy, that's a loaded question with a very complicated answer. The way I look at it is that I made the best possible decision with the information I had at the time of Charlie's birth. Had I had a crystal ball back then and the ability to see into the future, I wouldn't have made that decision. But unfortunately, I don't have… [more]
Changing Views
My co-blogger Heather just wrote two great posts about seeing adoption through rose colored glasses. It is funny that she wrote these today as just last night I was just discussing with a friend my thoughts and feelings on adoption and how much they have changed in the past five years. When I first became a birthmother, I was in the euphoric stages that Heather describes in her post. I felt awesome that I helped a family have a child and focused much more on what I did than what I was loosing. I was in big time denial. I felt for certain that I'd done the best thing and told myself over and over, just as other people told me, that… [more]
Love Thursday: Counting Tickets
Oh, I just love this picture! It means a lot to me because we are just doing a normal parent/child thing. It was taken a few weeks ago at Noah's tenth birthday party. Noah's birthday party was at a fun park that has arcade games, go carts, bumper boats, ski ball, miniature golf, and more! While Noah was riding a go cart with J, Charlie who decided (for some odd reason) that he did NOT want to ride a go cart. His Mom needed to stay outside and watch his sister since she was on a go cart at that moment. So I offered to take him inside and play games with him. This was the first time I've been somewhere… [more]

The price of Lemon Jelly – 29p at the corner shop(Priceless personal inspiration or a valuable collection of pop-stuff?)
In 2003 Lemon Jelly toured the UK. They came to play in my hometown which at the time was Birmingham. Birmingham's music venues change often so I'm not sure if it was the grand-iesque HUmmingbird club or the old converted town hall further up the northern quarter of the city.
Regardless of the venue, ah yes! I recall now… It was the Hummingbird! I'm sure of this because now that I'm thinking about the merchandise shown in the pics in this post I my internal TV is tuning in with HD clarity to an emotional moment. That moment was when I clapped eyes on the tour merchandise at the end of the show.
These were giveaways and far exceeded the joy of buying the T-shirt. I was working freelance at design and advertising companies at the time and so knew that Deakin of Airside was a sugary ingredient in the duo Lemon Jelly.
It was a joy to read the industry magazines including (the sadly missed) Design Week and (the still hot and trail-blazer) Creative Review and hear about what Deakin was up to whilst also picking up copies of NME and Melody Maker to hear about the ambitions Lemon Jelly producer Nick Franglen.
So, the musical experience faded-away and whatever remains of the that night is in these Lucky Bags. I remember that I left the gig with 4 of them (clandestinely stuffing three others into the one bag) – have no doubt become the stuff of legend for the owners of Airside who have decided to call it a day.
As a music fan and graphic designer I like ephemera. And I know there's a lot of others out there who need to 'come-out'. What I mean by this is there's no shame in being a hoarder of stuff you. There's a duality too. Every graphic designer is inspired by the stuff they pick up and keep.
Come on you old boys of graphic design. If you began designing in a pre-twitter, -facebook, -behance time then go scout your cluttered box of design 'momento mori's'. Delve in and let's share some inspiration around.
Given that the Airside have announced that in March 2012 they'll shutting-up shop I'd like to know what effect their shift into the stuff of legacy and myth (a wikipedia entry) has on the merchandise produced by them for Lemon Jelly. Is there a commercial value to this pop-stuff?

NAIROBI -- Mary and her family, like many other farming families in Kenya, are facing a bleak few months. During this time, food assistance will be crucial.
This is just the beginning of Kenya's food crisis, but the drought has already ravaged the country. In parts of central Kenya, 50 percent of shallow wells, boreholes and other water sources have dried up. People walk up to 30 kilometres in search of water.

36 Surprising Beauty Tips We All Should Know
1. GOT A BURN from the curling iron?
Honey to soothe that curling iron burn on the ear, olive oil baths to moisturize dry skin and ice used to tighten pores are just a few of the beautifying ideas worth incorporating into your get-gorgeous routine. Read on to find a trick (or two or three) that could save you time and money or just give you another move that will bring out your most ravishing self. And don't miss the easy-to-do star tips from our favorite women from BET's "The Game."
We've been there. Dab it with a cold compress and apply honey. Honey has anti-inflammatory properties that calm the injury before discoloration sets in.
Video: No-fuss beauty must-haves >
2. DON'T THROW AWAY the last bit of lipstick in the tube.
Scoop it out and put it in a plastic case (like the travelsize ones found in drugstores), then mix with shea butter. Voilà! Tinted lip balm.
3. TO MASK UNDEREYE CIRCLES, use the right camouflage.
Orange and blue are opposite each other on the color wheel. So dabbing on an orange-tinted cover-up will nix the bluish tint our undereye discoloration usually has. Apply under your concealer. Shown: Khuraira Dark Circle Primer ($30, khuraira.com).
4, Flush Your Pores
"SPLASH YOUR FACE 20 times with lukewarm water mixed with the lather from your cleansing bar, followed by ten splashes of cool, clean running water. This helps soften the skin and flush out the pores." -- BEATRICE SIMMONS, ATLANTA Shown: Erno Laszlo Sea Mud Soap ($39, ernolaszlo.com).
5. In a rush?
Use a waterproof mascara; it dries faster than other formulas.
6. APPLY CLEAR MASCARA over your brows before you tweeze.
The mascara makes it easier to grab one hair at a time and, therefore, be more precise.
7. Wash Your Brushes
Wash your brushes and combs with a clarifying shampoo to quickly zap oils and product buildup, just as it does for your hair.
8. Wear Fuchsia
BROWN-SKINNED WOMEN CAN MOST CERTAINLY WEAR FUCHSIA -- and other vivid shades -- flawlessly by defining the lip first with your foundation. Just take a slanted detail brush, start at the corner, and carefully outline the lip for definition to make color pop. Shown: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Golden Lustere in Fuchsia Symbole ($22, yslbeaute-us.com).
9. Change Your Pillowcases
"Change your pillowcases weekly so the oil from your hair doesn't transfer to your face and cause breakouts. -- EDRICA SCOTT, HEPHZIBAH, GA
10. Leave-In Conditioner
IF GEL IS YOUR GO-TO for holding down your edges (use sparingly because it is drying), apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner first to minimize damage and keep hair from getting crunchy. Shown: Dr. Miracle's Leave In Conditioner ($6, Target).

Supereasy. Made to recipe except peeled & seeded the cuke and quartered it, then sliced -- the smaller pieces were better, I think. Served with the recommended spinach salad; we like hot, but if you don't, better watch the amount of chile in the salad dressing. Very tasty dinner but not visually appealing, probably should have added some shredded carrot to the noodles for a hit of color.
Cold Sesame Noodles with Chicken and Cucumbers
carolfitz Posted: 09/10/10
southernblonde Posted: 09/08/09
Simple and delicious!
Chopalua Posted: 09/06/09
I gave this recipe 3 stars because it is simple and solid, but not something I would serve at a special occasion nor found it remarkably outstanding. This is a good light recipe to make on the quick or for a meal that isn't so heavy. I halved and sliced the cucumbers, but next time I will dice for the sake of the presentation and eating ease. I also used about a Tbsp of fresh ginger and pre-cooked frozen grilled chicken slices that I heated in the microwave, which turned out nicely. Instead of chili paste, I used Sriracha (Chinese red hot sauce) which was fine.
RyannUden Posted: 09/02/09
This recipe was fast, easy, and delicious. Other than dicing the cucumbers instead of slicing, I made the recipe as directed and had no problem finding any of the ingredients. My husband loved the recipe. I think he was surprised about how much flavor was in a dish with relatively few ingredients (and relatively few dishes to wash!). This would be a great dish to take for lunches. Also, I liked the "game plan" feature. We'll make this again!
TeresaMichelsen Posted: 05/31/10
This is a good basic recipe that could have a lot of variations. I wasn't fond of the cucumbers myself, but enjoyed everything else. The sambal oelek is fairly important to making it spicy enough, so if you found it bland it may have been from leaving that out. Other spicy sauces might work.
Saecca Posted: 12/31/09
This meal was pretty good. I wish I would have read the reviews to spice it up a bit before I made it. I substituted the Udon noodles with whole wheat linguine and served it with Tofu instead of chicken. The cucumbers, peanuts, and the sauce were neat to have together-- new flavor story for me and my hubs. I had it with the spinach, radish, and red onion salad.
JoAnnFrancois Posted: 09/13/09
I have made a very similar recipe for years but I use somen noodles and crab meat (and no peanuts, I'm allergic). I make it into a soup though with water & rice vinegar (add lots of ice when cooling down the noodles to make a quick lunch and really chill the noodles and water)
CynthiaLR Posted: 09/01/09
I made the vegetarian version mentioned in the magazine. Instead of using baked or smoked tofu, I pressed the moisture from the tofu, double the dressing amount, marinaded tofu slices in 1/2 the dressing then I pan seared the tofu in the same manner described in the Cooking Light Thai Seared Tofu recipe. Because of allergies, I used cashews instead of peanuts and substituted garlic for ginger because that's what I had around. I also seeded the cucumbers. Of course this way takes more time to prepare and you need time to chill, but it is a good way to eat less meat.
jdejonge Posted: 09/16/09
DEFINITELY WILL BE GOING IN THE FAVORITES BOX!!! GLAD TO HAVE READ THE REVIEWS FIRST. MY CHANGES WERE (AS I READ COULD BE BLAND): I DOUBLED THE LIQUID PORTION OF THE RECIPE (6 ITEMS), NEEDED TO USE ABOUT A CUP OF WATER FROM THE COOKED PASTA NOODLES (AS PASTA WAS STILL TOO DRY W/O), CUBED THE CUCUMBERS, USED CHOPPED GARLIC FROM A JAR â I HAD NO IDEA WHAT SAMBAL OELEK OR CHILE PASTE WITH GARLIC WAS?? I MIXED THE ONION AND PEANUTS AND PASTA ALL TOGETHER (ADDED MORE PEANUTS AND ONIONS TOO), ANDâ¦â¦â¦SERVED THE PASTA WARM FOR THE FIRST MEAL, LEFT-OVER COLD WAS FABULOUS!
ljclemons Posted: 09/16/09
It was ever so easy and tasty. I used rice stick noodles to make it gluten free and I added some fresh mint and thinly sliced radishes. I don't think I would add the mint again, but I will make this dish again.
TallMary Posted: 10/24/09
This recipe tastes great, is easy to make, is a wonderful use for leftover cooked chicken and turkey, and is a family favorite.
Jamie612 Posted: 09/08/10
My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe!! I didn't have any chili paste, so I used some chili garlic sauce. It was a little wet for my taste, but overall, it was a very easy and satisfying meal!
Chels77 Posted: 04/22/11
I added more veggies to this dish---julienned red bell pepper and shredded carrots. Loved the overall flavor. Extremely easy to make too.
ARC888 Posted: 06/28/11
Excellent to take cold to lunch. But if eating a few days would cut cucumbers the day of and toss in. As the cucumbers weren't crunchy on the second day! It looks bland but is anything but! Just looked it up again for lunches!
jzygail Posted: 02/07/12
It's a great light dinner that can be quick to make or take more time as the reviewer who used grilled tofu noted. I've also added red bell pepper and shredded carrot to it for color and extra veggies. When I don't have sambal oelek handy, I use a blander chili paste and add some chili flakes. I prefer to use mini cucumbers (I've also seen the sold as English cucumbers, but they're narrower with fewer seeds and imo, more flavorful), which saves on needing to seed them. And it's great with all kinds of noodles--I really like it with rice sticks.
NicolePare Posted: 03/14/12
My whole family loved this recipe. It was light and refreshing. I think this recipe is perfect as is, but could also see altering it with different fresh veggies....snow peas, blanched broccoli, or bean sprouts. Instead of using a rotisserie chicken, I used a box of pre-cooked Perdue Short Cuts chicken. The whole thing took me about 20 minutes to make. This is the kind of recipe that I will keep the ingredients on hand to make on those nights that I just don't feel like cooking!

|Virtual Justice: The New Laws of Online Worlds
|Greg Lastowka
|Tens of millions of people today are living part of their life in a virtual world. In places like World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Free Realms, people are making friends, building communities, creating art, and making real money. Business is booming on the virtual frontier, as billions of dollars are paid in exchange for pixels on screens. But sometimes things go wrong. Virtual criminals defraud online communities in pursuit of real-world profits. People feel cheated when their avatars lose virtual property to wrongdoers. Increasingly, they turn to legal systems for solutions. But when your avatar has been robbed, what law is there to assist you? In Virtual Justice, Greg Lastowka illustrates the real legal dilemmas posed by virtual worlds. Presenting the most recent lawsuits and controversies, he explains how governments are responding to the chaos on the cyberspace frontier. After an engaging overview of the history and business models of today's virtual worlds, he explores how laws of property, jurisdiction, crime, and copyright are being adapted to pave the path of virtual law. Virtual worlds are becoming more important to society with each passing year. This pioneering study will be an invaluable guide to scholars of online communities for years to come.
|Play Money: Or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot
|Julian Dibbell
|Play Money explores the remarkable new phenomenon of MMORPGs, or Massively MultiPlayer Online Role-Playing Games, in which hundreds of thousands of players operate fantasy characters in virtual environments. With city-sized populations, these games generate their own cultures, governments, and social systems and, inevitably, their own economies, which spill over into the real world. The desire for virtual goods-magic swords, enchanted breastplates, and special, hard-to-get elixirs-has spawned a cottage industry of virtual loot farmers": people who play the games just to obtain fantasy goods that they can sell in the real world. The best loot farmers can make between six figures a year and six figures a month. Play Money is an extended walk on the weird side: a vivid snapshot of a subculture whose denizens were once the stuff of mere sociological spectacle but now-with computer gaming poised to eclipse all otherentertainments in dollar volume, and with the lines between play and work, virtual and real increasingly blurred-look more and more like the future.

Rugby is a club sport at URI, which means that all are welcome; prior rugby experience, while helpful, is certainly not required. Many of the current players began playing at URI with no experience whatsoever. Every player is given the opportunity to learn the game and coaching by the staff. We attempt to get every player some playing time in games at an appropriate level. Very little is required in terms of gear to play rugby " at least one training jersey, shorts and socks, approved cleats (most soccer cleats are acceptable) and a mouth guard.
If you are interested in playing rugby at URI, contact one of the coaches or officers listed on the web page.

I like buying my combs at the dollar store. Then I have them scattered about my place, car, and bike bag. I have a tornado of a weave that needs constant attention and combing. Why duct tape one of the many USB drives I got from CES to one of my many combs when I can buy a (comb)ination of the two?
For $35, you can buy this 2GB comb/USB drive to effectively render you a person of value and desire. The social implications would be stammering for all I can tell, and I would never tell anyone I actually bought this. How long till' this thing breaks on you?

As you may expect, as much, if not more, attention went into chassis development. The factory-spec M6 is a decent handling car, but never feels as though it really wants to attack corners. It pulls an impressive g and will change direction quickly enough, but understeer and a lack of that knife-edge precision expected from a real sports car seems to elude the bigger BMWs. Springs, a rear sway bar, and various other bits combine to give Dinan's S3 M6 a lowered ride and fight roll with more success. There are a few more interesting things going on here, however. First, geometry changes in front add the steering feel normally missing. Notable among the improvements is slightly more caster. Not only does it add a more precise on-center feel, it adds just enough resistance from trail and weight jacking to make turn-in feel racecar precise.
The second point of interest in the Dinan car is how the problem of severely limited stock suspension travel was dealt with. BMW had to keep its shock towers extremely low to maximize trunk space. The result is limited travel in back and a rather rough ride. Dinan re-engineered the rear spring perches to maximize travel and designed custom bump stops that work in conjunction with the extra stroke. The result is a car with an inch lower ride height, more suspension travel, and the factory's electronically adjustable shocks still fully functional.
The S3's dynamics are aggressive yet still at least as comfortable as stock, maybe more so. Driving it isn't a battle with the front wheels as with the stock car. It's very neutral and easy to rotate. It also puts power down surprisingly well, thanks in part to bigger contact patches at the rear, but also due to the chassis not immediately squatting down onto the bump stops. In the first three gears, there's plenty of torque to swing the back end around at will. In faster corners, the car remains thankfully well behaved and doesn't feel like it wants to swap ends, even hard on the throttle. Again, it's the smooth power delivery of a big displacement engine coupled with a well-sorted chassis. Dial in steering and throttle inputs smoothly and the car rewards with fast, clean cornering. Flick-and-stomp results in some seriously fun drifting. You could go through a pair of rear tires in one afternoon of hoonage, but it might just be worth it.
So what does something like a Dinan S3 cost? The final price on the entire conversion hasn't been announced yet. The engine package alone is roughly 40 grand, but this is for essentially a race engine with a full four-year/ 50,000-mile warranty. Simply chipping your stock BMW will have the dealership tearing up your warranty papers and showing you the door. Dinan's warranty has to justify at least a quarter of the asking price.
Options on the car we tested included a free-flow intake system that uses two high-capacity cone filters encased in two separate airboxes with beautiful and functional carbon-fiber lids. They also include larger air-mass sensors with relocated air temperature sensors for accurate metering. On the other end was a Dinan exhaust system composed of a middle section designed for higher flow rates and rear mufflers with Dinan-designed "cool-tips" that pull in a small amount of outside air just at the tips to keep temperatures down and avoid discoloration. Inside the car, the new exhaust note is hardly perceptible. At wide-open throttle, the exhaust sounds like the world's meanest sport bike. It wails with a deep undertone that lets you know you aren't dealing with some 3.0-liter screamer.
Exterior modifications are left to a minimum. Dinan lightweight 19-inch wheels look the part, but more importantly shave a total of 32 pounds off the rotating and unsprung weight. Combine that with a few more pounds off each corner from the Brembo-built brakes and you have a drop in mass that really makes a big difference in performance.

Unfortunately, they make sense on the legal end. If we didn't have that restriction, it's very likely we wouldn't be able to hold the contest at all. When we're handing out something that has monetary value, we need to respect the laws and rules of every region we hold our contests in. For example, for something like this we can't say, "Europeans are eligible." Europe includes a lot of places. We would need to tailor the official legalese to conform to the laws of those countries, and quite honestly, we don't have the resources for that. In some of those cases, we would need to translate the rules into multiple languages for those people to be eligible. We definitely don't have people that can write the official rules in a dozen different languages.
So the whole thing might seem arbitrary, but it really isn't. It's what allows us to keep doing stuff like this. Yeah, it sucks, but the alternative isn't, "Include everyone." The alternative is, sadly, not to do contests at all.

It looks like Chad Pennington is calling it a career.
Chad has told station 93.7 in West Virginia in an interview that he is officially calling it quits, and retiring from the NFL.
Pennington played most of his career for the Jets, before playing his final 3 years (2008-2010) with Miami. His career accomplishments include 2 Comeback Player of the Year Awards, and finishing 2002 with the NFL leading passer rating of 104.2. Although he didn't have a big arm, he was best known for his accuracy, always near the top in completion percentage.
His career unfortunately will be marred by too many arm injuries that robbed him of his abilities. A great guy, and a real Jet in every way. Will talk more about Chad's time with the Jets later on.

Weekend Link Roundup (June 21-22, 2014)
June 22, 2014
Our weekly roundup of new and noteworthy items from and about the nonprofit sector....
Climate Change
In an op-ed in the New York Times, former Goldman Sachs CEO and Treasury secretary (2006-09) Henry Paulson argues that in order to meet "the challenge of our time" (i.e., climate change), the U.S. needs to "plac[e] a tax on carbon dioxide emissions," phase out all subsidies for fossil fuels and renewable energy ("Renewable energy can outcompete dirty fuels once pollution costs are accounted for"), and work hand-in-hand with China to transition to a global economy powered by clean energy.
The 2014 edition of the Giving USA report was released on Tuesday, and as usual, writes the AP's David Crary, "Wealthy donors are lavishing money on their favored charities, including universities, hospitals and arts institutions, while giving is flat to social service and church groups more dependent on financially squeezed middle-class donors."
Higher Education
Affirmative action as we know it is doomed, writes David Leonhardt on the New York Times' Upshot blog. "Five of the Supreme Court's nine justices have never voted in favor of a race-based affirmative action program," he notes, while "eight states have already banned race-based affirmative action, and four additional ones, including Ohio and Missouri, may consider bans soon." But maybe a system based on income and/or high school class rank rather than income is a better solution at this moment in history. "Justice Anthony Kennedy, the swing vote on the Supreme Court, has signaled some openness to letting institutions consider race," Leonhardt writes,
so long as race doesn't dominate their decisions. And in today's version of affirmative action, race dominates. The standard way that colleges judge any potential alternative is to ask whether it results in precisely the same amount of racial diversity, rather than acknowledging that other forms of diversity also matter.
"An affirmative action based mostly on class, and using race in narrowly tailored ways, is one much more likely to win approval from Justice Kennedy when the issue inevitably returns to the court.
"The next move belongs to those who believe in affirmative action. They can continue to hope against hope that the status quo will somehow hold. Or they can begin to experiment — and maybe end up with a fairer system than the current one."

The KLLL Country Christmas blood drive was a huge success. KLLL radio and united blood services had hoped to get just one more pint this year than last year. That was a tall order; last year's drive collected 1 thousand 3 hundred 64 pints. Instead of getting one more pint, south plains donors gave almost 200 more than last year. The drive brought the total to 1,564 units of blood. UBS director, Les Long, says that is the best Christmas present on record for our local blood supply. Here's Les in his own words:
"UBS on behalf of the hospitals, and ultimately the patients who use the blood, we want to thank the community. We have a 42 day shelf life but in this area, we never return or throw away blood. We need the blood. Local hospitals use 110 to 150 pints a day. So, during the drive, we had to bring enough blood in to get through the drive and put back so we'd have enough through Christmas. The whole area of the south plains deserves a big pat on the back for the fact that today, newspapers in Oklahoma City are citing a blood shortage, in Dallas - a shortage there. But right here, the people here came out and made certain that we have blood. For the treatment in the hospitals, for preemies and for those who need blood products."
Les says with the increased holiday demand for blood, even the increased Christmas collection will probably be used up and gone in 3 weeks or less. So, it won't be long before the need is here again. But for now, all the folks at UBS want to thank their Christmas donors, and they say if you were a first time donor during this 9 day drive, they hope you realized it is easy to give, and that you'll want to be a blood donor again sometime.

A Return to Pandora In 4 years?
According to producer Jon Landau at a recent screening for the 3D re-release of Titanic, Avatar 2 is about four years away and audiences can expect Avatar 3 only a year later since both movies will be filmed back-to-back. That would put Avatar 2 for a 2016 release, but seeing as we've just crossed into 2012 it'd be safe to think that it could make a late 2015 release.
Also, though initially announced for a 2013 or 2014 release when news of the sequels was announced, Cameron and company are looking to advance the 3D technology even further with the added years.
For my thoughts on it, hit the break.
Weekend Box Office Estimates
Here are your Top Five Films at the box office for the Weekend of January 6th-8th:
- The Devil Inside - $34.5 m (Opening Weekend) - ($1 m production budget)
- Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - $20.5 m = $170,201,000 24-Day Total - ($145 m production budget)
- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - $14.055 m = $157,415,000 24-Day Total
- The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) - $11.3 m = $76,836,000 19-Day Total ($90 m production budget)
- Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked - $9.5 m = $111,588,000 24-Day Total ($75 m production budget)
After a year in which box office numbers and theatre attendance were down, 2012 kicked off to a strong start with the year's first new major entry, The Devil Inside. The quasi-documentary/found footage exorcist film opened up 2012 with an impressive $34.5 million. Despite the strong start, including over $16 million on Friday, it'll be interesting to see if the film has legs to keep it in the top five for the next few weeks. Either way, Paramount has already made back its money and then some with the film's reported budget a mere $1 million.
The rest of the top 5 after the break.
"Batman" To Feature Backup Stories Starting In April

All kidding aside, it looks like J.J. Abrams is all for a 3D post-conversion of the upcoming Star Trek sequel. Though widely known that he isn't a big fan of 3D due to the dimness caused by the use of 3D glasses, recent post-conversions of his 2009 Star Trek film have convinced him otherwise.

People used to give their dogs dog names -- you know, Rex, Aslan, Bruiser. But now people are turning to human names for their beloved pets. Sure, sure, your dog is your baby, but giving her a human name just seems ... weird.
And now Twilight has invaded the dog-naming world as well as the baby-naming world. Just look at who's ranked number one! So now your kid and 12 dogs in the neighborhood are going to be running around with the same name.
Without further ado, here are the 10 names you shouldn't even think about using, and while you're at it, go ahead and add names like Emma to the list. Unless of course, you want your dog and kid to match.
Introducing the top 10 doggie names of 2010 -- all of which you should refrain from using on your pup.
10. Sophie
9. Charlie
8. Daisy
7. Maggie
6. Buddy
5. Molly
4. Lucy
3. Max
2. Bailey
1. Bella
What do you think of using human names as pet names? Is it stupid and tacky?

I like human names for pets - My dog is named Eric Clapton!
I've taken in two lost dogs in so many years. Both of their names were Bella. I like human names for pets, but I prefer uncommon and slightly comical names like Norman and Bob.
Haha my dog's name is Lucy. But we named her that when we got her after she was born 7 years ago.
Actually I think there are a lot of 'human' names that are better suited to pets.
I think human names are great for pets. you can give your pet a name you love but is not one you want to give your kids.
I think it is funny that Edward isn't on the list. Not a fan of Twilight, and my dog has a human name, Phoebe and my parrot is Remmi. I do however, think that pet name's should not be used on humans.
I love human names for pets. My friend has a dog named George and it just cracks me up. My own dog doesn't have a human name, though.

Our second event at Makeshift Society was on Thursday, March 11th with the co-founders of Dandelion Chocolate, Todd Masonis and Cameron Ring. They kicked off the event with a high-level history of their company, and how small-batch chocolate is made.
The audience got a hands-on lesson about where chocolate comes from: cacao pods! Up to 30-50 cocoa beans grow inside one cacao pod, which is, surprisingly, a fruit.
The cocoa beans are fermented and dried, then roasted.
Inside the cocoa beans are cocoa nibs, which taste like a chocolate nut. Dandelion Chocolate is only made with cocoa nibs and sugar.
The Dandelion Chocolate tasting set makes it easy to do a small tasting. We started with Patanemo, Venezuala, then tried Elvesia, Dominican Republic, and finished with Ambanja, Madagascar.
The audience enjoyed tasting small bites at a time, and comparing the flavors of each bar.
Todd and Cam work with farms directly to source their beans. They take fair labor practices seriously, and take measured steps to only work with farmers they trust.
Cam and Todd have known each other since 1997, when they met at Stanford. They worked together for eight or nine years as the co-founders of Plaxo. I asked, "What's your advice for a working partnership?" Their answer: establishing your core values, and learning how to deal when things inevitably go wrong.
If you're itching for a change, the most important thing you can do is find something you're passionate about, and pursue it. Don't give in to your fear–just go try some things, and remember to have fun. According to Cam, happiness what makes their chocolate taste so good.

Thank you, Todd and Cam, for sharing your expertise (and chocolate!) with us. I couldn't have asked for a better guest, or a more generous audience.
Until next time,
