The Pain Exchange—I love this.
This is a very sad commentary that reveals what we've become in this country. We have the best of the best in the U.S. of A., but we hold the record for most fat people. Why do we reach for drugs, alcohol, sex, food, lies, blame, anger, hate, guilt, and self-pity far more often than power, courage, discipline, forgiveness, wisdom, and self-reliance? We've become a bunch of crybabies, filled with excuses, blaming everyone else for our problems!
The freedoms and conveniences we now enjoy were fought for by men and women who didn't think twice when it came to hard work, taking risks, and failing over and over again. This generation's selfish, lethargic, woe-is-me mentality is creating a country filled with folks who live in a constant state of quiet desperation. Our ancestors worked very hard to create a world with less stress and strife. So why are we more stressed out than ever?
The pendulum has swung way too far in the wrong direction. It's time to stop all the bitching and moaning and wanting and wishing and hoping and dreaming. We must start to live in the real world and begin to take some responsibility for what goes on in our lives. It's time to start exploring and searching and devoting and sharing and growing and working for what you want in this world.
It's really a matter of right and wrong. We know the difference between the two but still fail to behave in ways that allow us to be great human beings.
Work out
Eat healthy foods
Fail and try again
Forgive yourself
Be kind
Find out what you love
Don't work out
Eat junk
Fail and quit
Blow it off
Blame others
Be right (all the time)
Ignore your greatness
This is a short list, but I think you get the point.
The wrong list will lead you down the road of endless short-lived pleasures that result in lifelong pain, fear, and sadness. The right list (which can be hard at first) will open you up to a world filled with happiness, joy, and fulfillment.
You might want to ask yourself how history will see you after you're gone. If you don't like the answer today, then it might be time to do the right thing.

THE hardest workout ever: Max Interval Circuit
I just finished Day 1 of Month 2 of Insanity, and I really don't know how I pushed through that hard ass workout, AFTER already doing the scheduled fit test. Back to back. Wth was I thinking? I cursed at Shaun T during the entire thing. Lol I'm so exhausted :/
Insanity month 1!
I can't believe I've seriously reached this milestone. Overall, month one wasn't easy, the scale says I initially lost 7 pounds, but I weighed myself today and it says that I've gained 5 pounds..yet I look more toned, my stomach is tighter, and I feel overall better. Those 5 pounds must have been muscles, or water weight or something since I already had food in my belly when I weighed myself (big mistake). Anyway, the scale could suck it basically.
Week 3 of Insanity was my worst because I had just came back home from school—and I just wanted home cooked food. I was indulging in too many things, too often. But, luckily, I didn't look much different because I kept doing the workouts despite my horrible eating.
So, now it's time for recovery week. Core Cardio and Balance every day for a week. It sounds easy doesn't it? I bet it's not! I'm really tempted to post a progress picture but ehh I don't know.
proud daughter
although my mom only did the Insanity warm-up, she's determined to go a little further tomorrow. This goes to show that if you want your family or friends to embark on this new lifestyle—don't stop asking. One day they'll either do a work-out with you just to shut you up, or they'll yell at you to stop bugging them, and if that's the case, then there isn't more you can do. But, never stop asking.
LOL my mom has agreed to do Insanity with me tonight
let's see if she actually sticks to her word.
I get SO happy when I check the Insanity calendar and it happens to be Cardio Recovery..
although it STILL kicks my ass, I get to somewhat recover. YAY for Cardio Recovery!
get it girl! i'm only on day 16 and it's kicking my ass :p how are your results so far?
gurrl, you are NOT the only one, it's kicking my ass too, "But I'm smiling because I laavv it!" This week has been tough though because I've always did Insanity barefoot, and yesterday I started using sneakers (completely dumb, I know), and now my feet/calves/legs KILL, but my legs do feel leaner though, so I guess I gotta stop complaining :/ we can get thru this!! :D
10pm Insanity Day 24
Plyo cardio circuit.
I'll admit,
this week was sort of a slack-off week, first week home in a LONG time and I just needed some home cooking. I ate white rice and lots of red meat, too many calories, and lots of vegetables (surprisingly). I didn't gain weight though, I must've gained a pound or so, but not such dramatic weight gain. I think it has much to do with Insanity—the fact that I didn't stop working out—just maintained my weight. But, I have become a bit more jiggly in my tummy than I was before. It's time to cut the calories, and up my endurance in Insanity—Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs tomorrow.
Praise the Lord for Cardio Recovery.
In all honesty, I was less motivated to keep going at Insanity, but I suck it up and do it! I was looking forward to Cardio Recovery, you get to RECOVER, besides your day off. Okay, not entirely because it's still kinda hard, but omg I've been waiting for today for days now, and it's here! And, on Thursday I'm doing two, yes two Insanity workouts because that's what's on the schedule..am I looking forward to it?
Yes, of course I am. Oh! And I get to go home for good on Friday, since I'm transferring! And it's my day off!
thanks guys for answering my question.
lesson learned, lol. It sucks that I now have 2 Chobani yogurts to somehow find a way of eating. I might just make a parfait later, and use some Chobani, hopefully it'll taste better. Anyways, off to do my workout, Insanity: Pure Cardio. NOT looking forward to it, but I gotta do what I gotta do ;)

Rabbi Debra Orenstein taught, during her many High Holy Days as rabbi of Makom Ohr Shalom, that the gates of repentance do not completely close at the conclusion of Yom Kippur. Instead, a crack remains open to allow us to complete teshuvah by Sukkot or Simchat Torah.... or even until the end of Hanukah.*
Perhaps, if we do embrace my proposal for blowing shofar on Hanukah, it can also serve as the Tekiah Gedolah for the final end of the repentance season.
* According a reply to a question I sent to www.askmoses.com, "There are different sources given for this from disciples of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. For a complete list of sources, please see Nitei Gavriel on Chanukah chapter 56 footnote 1." If you have access to this reference or know another source for her teaching, please add a comment below.

Study: Great things ahead, if Auckland can get its act together
By Esther Goh,
Aucklanders can look forward to an integrated transport system, a third harbour crossing, and improved health and education services by 2040 if the city gets focused, takes action and builds investor confidence, according to a new study issued in response to the Auckland Plan by the Aecom Global Cities Institute.
In its book Auckland, Connected, the institute identifies affordability as a key challenge and recommends that Auckland Council be ruthless in its prioritisation of projects that will drive transformational change.
The institute partners with cities to diagnose their most pressing issues and develop solutions to urban challenges, including Beijing and Phoenix, drawing on Aecom's planning, design, engineering and management capabilities. It worked alongside Auckland Council, the New Zealand Institute and the University of Auckland.
Aecom is also said to be bidding for the contract to help prepare the blueprint for central Christchurch.
Key recommendations include co-locating the city's universities, CRIs and private sector research and development facilities, for example, at a a 'Grafton Research Quarter', to attract investment and top students. Creating clustering and agglomerating industries (food, health, education, ICT and marine sectors) through real and virtual connections locally and globally is also floated. If successful, that could lead to international companies relocating to Auckland because of the depth of research available and the city emerging as a leader in food production, medical technology, engineering and science.
The institute states that Auckland lacks a realistic funding model to address public transport. "Realistic" road pricing, which could include user charges and tolling, fuel taxes, city development funding, parking/ congestion charges and levies, tax increment funding and private public partnerships – are cited as options to address this.
It also calls for investment in the city rail link – leading to an integrated system with feeder buses for "door-to-door" transit, and ferry services with fast connections around the harbour.
The book – a response to the Auckland Plan – draws comparisons between Auckland and other highly ranked liveable cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Vienna, Vancouver, and Helsinki) and provides insights from international approaches and how these could be applied locally. For example, it examines transport approaches in Singapore's Land Transport Authority Land Transport System and the CycleCity initiative in Sydney.
Aecom New Zealand managing director, Dean Kimpton, said Auckland is at a crossroads.
"By 2040, it will be a very different city. Auckland is set to grow from a population of 1.5 million to an estimated 2.4 million. This substantial increase will have a major impact on transport, housing and other infrastructure.
"The investment required to make Auckland the most liveable city is more than council can deliver alone – Auckland needs to be public sector stimulated, but private sector-driven."
Head of the Global Cities Institute and Aecom chief innovation officer Joe Brown said it would be a mistake to consider each of Auckland's problems in isolation.
"Transport for example, needs a designer's eye. The economy benefits from a guiding social mission. Buildings are just as important as the spaces between them. A beautiful waterfront needs an economic engine to be successful."
Urban Gondolas. They cost 10-20% of the price of rail over the same distance, require almost no land purchase (one tower every 200m with a small footprint, and the occasional terminal), and are cheap to run.
Lets start with them - if it is true that providing cheap and efficient public transport boosts the economy by more than the cost of installing rail, then we will have generated enough revenue to pay for the trains after a decade or so. If not, we've saved ourselves the enormous burden of debt that rail would have cost.
Think of it like moving in to a cheap place for your first house, then moving to something more flash when you pay it off or get a better job.
Where could I get a copy of "Auckland Connected"??? Thanks
The big question for Auckland is if the government will allow the democratically elected Auckland Council follow through on these plans.
While the government has agreed to help funding electrification of Auckland's rail system, it is reluctant to help fund the city rail tunnel which would alleviate the Britomart bottleneck and allow higher frequency trains and give rail access to the upper end of the CBD.
This reluctance is largely based on the apparent inability of the rail option to stack up against a road based scenario that assumes unconstrained growth of car travel into the CBD. I think that any Aucklander with their eyes open would recognise that the CBD's roads cannot absorb a great increase in traffic and that more cars would make it a more harsh and unpleasant place. And where would all those extra cars park while their drivers are going about their business?
Steve, don't buses need roads? That's public transport isn't it, a bus? An underground rail loop to and from Britomart & K'Rd and back is a monumental waste of money. Can someone please explain how spending $2BN on that idea would help, when you can currently take that trip on .50c bus?
Yes, Johnny, of course buses run on roads, but that's a double edged sword, buses carry many more people per square metre of road space than a car can, but they also need kerb space (which is a finite commodity) to pick up and set down their passengers.
Because trains have their own rails and stations they can carry people without falling over each other and the rail loop means quicker and more frequent trains. As a result the rail loop is forecast to increase boardings by more than 20,000 each morning peak.
Buses have a huge role in connecting the CBD with the North Shore and there is plenty of capacity in the Northern Busway to be exploited. A full lane of buses on the Harbour Bridge would carry more people than the other four lanes combined. But sadly, the day of the .50c bus is long gone.

"I ordered this design to label music parts from our library. (My husband and I are both violinists). I like that the design is both simple and elegant and the gray matches just about anything. I gave the paper quality 4 out of 5 stars because one of the labels ripped when I was taking it off the sheet. The paper used was not very thick. Hope that helps."
"This label was so elegant and classy that I felt it worked for my purpose for my support group look. I want to get business cards to match."
"Very nice labels. The only draw back is the corresponding invitation is a small square and these labels were rather large size and took up a bit of room on the envelope."
"Great label, provided the finishing touch to the grad announcements. Color choice and font choice allowed for personalization and tie in with announcement theme."
"My husband and I don't have kids so these are the perfect "couple" address labels! The colors are gorgeous and they are so hip!"

Oklahoma City firefighters are working to fight a house fire that spread from grass to the structure.
Crews were called to the 7200 block of NW 129th Street to a report of a grass fire. When they arrived, they reported that the grass and a nearby home were also on fire. The home is just north of Francis Tuttle Technology Center near NW 122nd and Rockwell.
As firefighters fought against the flames, they also had to scale a very steeply pitched roof of the home.
FOX 25 has a news team on the scene. We'll bring you more details as they come in to our newsroom.
The fire danger is very high and is fueled by dry conditions and high winds. Burning is strong discouraged.

I hate feeling that way. And no , I don't MEAN everyone. Just certain people who seem to enjoy making my life Fuckin miserable. And these people should be the only ones who DON'T make me feel this way. It's like I'm 10 all over again.
You promised me it would never ever happen. You said " she is the Apple of my eye.. my sun in the sky,and my moon at night". But that was a lie. You made her feel bad, you made her cry. You made her choose, you or her family. She could never choose, and you hated that. And so you made us tell you to go, knowing she would follow. Thats how much she loved you. But I always told her, this is your home now and forever. And you hated that too. Why? Why did you make it all so hard? We Only wanted to see her happy. And you were suppose to be the one making her happy. But instead you beat her. You punched, kicked and bit her face. You tryed to strangle her. You tryed to kill her. My baby. My child. The girl I gave life too! Why? Why? Why?! I thank god every day she fought back. That her 9 years of Tae Kwan do kicked in, and she was able to fight back.(let's face it, she kicked your ass, and for that I'm so proud!) I hope every time you close your eyes you see her face. And you are forced to remember and relive the horror you put her through. Because I can not forget. I will never ever forget. You didn't just hit her that day… You hit me too. And now I will do what any mother should do when their daughter has been through domestic assault. I WILL PROTECT MY CHILD. REGUARDLESS OF HER AGE.
Sincerely, The mother of the young woman you should have never put your hands on.

TEAMS: Cleveland Indians
Your browser does not support iframes. Cleveland Indians pitcher Carlos Carrosco was ejected from Tuesday's game at Progressive Field after he drilled New York Yankees batter Kevin Youkilis with a pitch immediately after giving up a home run to Robinson Cano. It happened in the top of the fourth inning after Cano's home run gave the Yankees a 7-0 lead. Carrosco threw his next pitch high and inside to Youkilis, hitting him in the shoulder. Home plate umpire Jordan Baker immediately ejected Carrosco without a warning. Carrosco was suspended five games back in 2011 for doing the same thing against the Kansas City Royals. Youkilis got a measure of revenge in his next at-bat by hitting a 2-run homer to help the Yankees rout the Indians 14-1. Video via MLB.com.

Calculate images total width
27 March 2011 at 3:12pm
I'm spitting out a bunch of images for a gallery and I'll like to calculate the total width of those images.
I was doing in jQuery and got it to work for one gallery but haven't figured out how to do it when I have multiple galleries on the page as it was adding up all images on the page, not just the ones per gallery. So I thought maybe a function in my controller would be a better route. So, I'm looking for help with the function to do the calculation.
in my template I have:
<% control PortfolioWorks %>

<% control PortfolioImages %>

<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>
or if you think jQuery is the best option, this is what I have so far:
I figured I could make the above class - class="scroll-pane$Pos" but not sure how to do address that in the script without writing it a bunch of times, one for each… scroll-pane1, scroll-pane2, etc.
var totalWidth = 0;
$('.scroll-pane img').each(function() {
totalWidth += $(this).outerWidth();
$('.scroll-pane').css("width", totalWidth);

Re: Calculate images total width

OK I haven't test this and it's kind of late but off the top of my head I'd say your JS needs to look like this:
$('.scroll-pane').each(function() {
var totalWidth = 0;
$('img', this).each(function() {
totalWidth += $(this).outerWidth();
$(this).css("width", totalWidth+"px");
Basically it says for each .scroll-pane, it loop over it's child images images (in jQuery "$('img', this)" will get all images that are children of the current object).
I'm not sure what your controller looks like but I'm thinking if you want to do it server-side you'd need to have something like a TotalWidth method or attribute on whatever PortfolioWorks is returning.
So if PortfolioWorks is a pageor dataobject that has_many images, give it a method something like this:
function TotalWidth() {
$width = 0;
foreach ($this->PortfolioImages() as $portfolioImage) {
$width += $portfolioImage->Attachment()->Width;
return $width+'px';
and call it in your template like
<% control PortfolioWorks %>

<% control PortfolioImages %>

<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>

Thanks Nathan for the help.
I was able to get the jQuery to work after changing the css to $('.portfolio', this).css("width", totalWidth); Thanks for the explanation, it helped me figure it out. Unfortunately, the jQuery is either not running after all the images are loaded or something else is causing me pain because it's not working every single time.
I tried to play with the php method version but was unable to get it to work. If you have time, here's the bigger picture (have a dom nested in a dom)…
class PortfolioWork extends DataObject {
public static $has_one = array (
'PortfolioPage' => 'PortfolioPage'
static $has_many = array (
'PortfolioImages' => 'PortfolioImage'
class PortfolioImage extends DataObject {
static $has_one = array (
'PortfolioWork' => 'PortfolioWork',
'Attachment' => 'Image'
class PortfolioPage extends Page {
public static $has_many = array (
'PortfolioWorks' => 'PortfolioWork'
class PortfolioPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
function TotalWidth() {
$width = 0;
foreach ($this->PortfolioImages() as $portfolioImage) {
$width += $portfolioImage->Attachment()->Width;
return $width+'px';
Thanks again

You're just trying to get the total width of images in each PortfolioWork right, not the combined width of all images on the PortfolioPage? It looks like you need to put TotalWidth() in PortfolioWork rather than PortfolioPage, since inside <% control PortfolioWorks %> you're dealing wiht the PortfolioWork rather than the containing page.
Re: Calculate images total width
31 March 2011 at 1:18pm
Thanks Nathan, that worked. And I got the jQuery to work as well. Yes I was just getting the width of each PortfolioWork.

Amy Bishop: Resentment and Rage
One look into Amy Bishop's past will show a long history of violent behavior.
Dr. Michelle Golland: Amy Bishop, mother of four (the youngest in third grade), is accused of gunning down three of her fellow professors at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The portrait that is now emerging of Bishop is one filled with resentment and rage. This rage may have been brewing for a long time: Bishop shot and killed her brother in 1986 with a shotgun. She was cleared of all charges at the time, and the death was ruled an "accident."
The young Bishop reported having an argument with her parents when she went upstairs to practice loading the shotgun. She came downstairs and accidently shot her 18-year-old brother. Police are now reviewing that case as well, given her propensity for violence. It appears from neighborhood accounts of Bishop's family that back then, their home was a dark and dreary placed not filled with much love.
The family kept to themselves -- which is exactly how Bishop went on to live her own life with her husband and children. According to neighbors, the Bishop children were not allowed to play with the other kids in the family-friendly neighborhood. The picture that is painted is that of constant conflict between the Bishop family and their neighbors. Bishop regularly called 911, reporting kids riding dirt bikes and scooters in the streets. This activity was all after-school and not during nighttime hours. The police were reportedly exhausted by her calling, and felt there was no way to pacify her.
Bishop even reported that it "may come to blows" with one neighbor. On another occasion, she reportedly assaulted a woman in a diner over a child's booster seat. Bishop and her husband, James Anderson, would videotape the neighborhood children while they were playing, explaining that they were going to use the tape to report to the police. This is a woman who is full of anger and feeling the need to control any and all aspects of her life. Her too-high expectations show a woman who's filled with resentment and feels persecuted.
Bishop and her husband were also investigated in a pipe-bombing incident. In 1993, Dr. Paul Rosenberg received a pipe bomb at his home. Luckily, it didn't go off, and he and his wife escaped injury. At the time, Bishop had a difficult relationship with Dr. Rosenberg. She feared he was going to give her a negative evaluation on her doctoral thesis. In the end, however, there wasn't enough evidence for anyone to be convicted of this crime.
It seems that Amy Bishop was an extreme introvert who was angry and somewhat paranoid. She had been fighting the University for more than a year about the denial of her tenure. It appears that she may have used extreme violence in the past to settle her arguments and to release her rage. It will be interesting to see how the past incidents of violence may be viewed in a very different light given the University killings.

How exactly does this column help us to understand the incident? It adds no new information, rehashes the bare bones of the story with less detail than the news sites. If this is all you have to offer on the subject, why bother?
I enjoy this internet site and will be coming back again.

Hello everyone,
I used to draw a great deal, in fact I originally wanted to be a concept artist in the games industry. In the end though, life changed and I now have a completely unrelated career and haven't drawn properly in about ten years! I lost heart and decided that I wasn't any good and moved on.
However, the love has been growing to get back and drawing again. My big mistake first time around was to spend all my time drawing dragons and fantasy animals and ignoring the fundamentals, so this time around I will start at the beginning and learn things properly and see what the next few years brings!

Few more! A bit of a rotten self portrait too. I promised myself I would post most of my work, even if bad, and then it would hopefully give me even more inspiration to get better...

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, why my first image doesn't appear as a thumbnail on the forum page?
A couple more. Working on some bigger pieces this week! Feeling more into it, a lot less still than I had, which can only be good!
Aaand some more. Haven't been drawing as much as I would like, and I don't have a sketchbook! - that will soon change.
A great start, and welcome back to the world of drawing. Ten years is a long time but it looks like you've retained a lot of what you learned for sure! Keep going, with a couple more posts like that we'll all get a very good idea on where you're at (we do already, but I just wanna see more ), and you'll get more feedback.
For now: your studies are looking good, love the bust in the first post. And your penmanship is sweet.
My Sketchbook ---- Blog ---- deviantArt
@Blightedart - thanks, and all going to plan, I am going to try and draw something every day, and hopefully a (semi) polished piece every week! Trying to draw from life / reference rather than imagination until I have the basics down again.

Drawing people is my absolute weakness. Avoided it like the plague previously but no more. Practice makes perfect and although these sketches make me cringe, I am starting to feel the form a lot more....
Plus a horse. Just cos.
Ugh, I am really uncomfortable, awkward at drawing people. I am making myself promise that I will draw at least two sketches of people before I can draw anything else, and hopefully....
Old self portrait, uploading in preperation to do another one, hopefully better and actually looking like myself.
I still can't get an image to show on the forum page - just a blank space. Can anyone tell me what I have forgotten to do?
Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing the new self-portrait.

Couple more. Can't believe how time is flying. Between hectic work, taking new classes after work and attempting to catch up with Fringe (best show ever), I haven't done anything all week...
My favourite artist of all time.
Have made a deal that the remainder of the year is going to be spent working on still life, anatomy, and copy work to improve basic skills (With a leetle bit of fun thrown in)
Making a copy of Frazetta's work was actually really revealing, trying to work out how he put down colour to obtain the final results. Have learnt a lot. And discovered a distinct love of drawing woman with a few more curves.
Thinking of taking up oil painting, too.
Portrait. Well, kinda. Getting closer. Looks like me and doesn't at the same time.
Robin Study
A set of sketches including an awful, awful sketch of a bloke, and a study of an old master. Really, really enjoyed doing the study.
Busy week! Sketched quite a lot, but just found out scanner is totally bust, so going to have to scan at work.
Feels like I am starting to get it....
Still waiting to scan in my sketchbook. Amazing how essential a scanner really is....
Nice stuff so far- I really like the super dramatic apple in post 11.
Thank you Rhubix. And dramatic apples make the best kind of apple pie. Fact.
Having a quick go at environments. I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day. By the time I get home, am already tired. Going to try and commit to doing at least an hour a day.... lets see how that goes.
I really like your studies They look great and your doing a great job with your figure studies too, looking forward to see many more
I wish my portraits would look that good! I completely lost my patience with those, especially when I'm drawing on the computer v_v
@Ainaredien - thank you. I am really uncomfortable drawing the human form, especially faces, but I figure the only way to get around it is to keep doing it until it starts to look more human and less alien!
Spending too much time watching horror moooovvviieees
Makes me want to draw zombieeeeees.
Instead, have some equally terrifying sketches. I am still without a scanner, and I probably won't have the finances to spare till next month, so my apologies for the quality.

Seeing as it is sunday, and time to go iron the workclothes, will call it a night with a couple more. Awful, awful self portrait. Still, it is better than the last one. Probably shouldn't draw when I am sleepy.
Aaand I just got my sticky hands on a couple of Loomis books! So I will be starting with them soon.

Hey Ally thanks so much for your comment in my sketchbook. I'm glad you did because you are off to a great start and I see loads of potential so it's great you've come back to drawing. I especially like your line work in your bird sketches and I wonder are they from life, reference of imagination?
The only advice I can offer is to keep it fun and not to pile too much pressure on yourself. So keep doing your dragons and Frazetta copies and when you get a chance give those oils a go and then come and help me with them!
weashell - Thanks very much for that link to the brushes - will have a good loo k this weekend!
Alexon - thanks muchly, practice makes perfect.
Marian - thanks! The pressure part is hard, as I believe its the idea of the next pic being closer to "perfect" and that endless frustration that keeps me going! The birds are a mix - some are reference, some, like the blackbirds, are imagination. It's all I drew as a kid and I am actually about to start a "50 british bird" project.... Thanks for visiting!
Another self portrait - again, starting to see a likeness which is exciting! Still a loooong way to go.

I had made a promise to myself that this year, I would only draw from observation and reference... but I couldn't resist one of my favourite topics. DINOSAAAAAURS. I really want to colour them, but am going to stick by my promise and draw no more dinosaurs.
So have a modern dinosaur. This is Birdie 1, in my 50 birds for Christmas project ( I am going to attempt to draw 50 birds by Christmas. Easy.)

Report alleges many Ethan Allen sexual assaults in 1960s, '70s
28 residents interviewed in yearlong probe
Town of Delafield — A yearlong investigation by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department has uncovered shocking allegations of sexual molestation at Ethan Allen School for Boys in the 1960s and 1970s, including the alleged assault of several juveniles by the superintendent of the institution, clergy and other staff members.
The Sheriff's Department interviewed 28 former residents of the facility, and 17 of those made allegations that they had been sexually assaulted, some saying they were repeatedly molested. However, there will be no prosecution of the alleged perpetrators due to the statute of limitations, said Sheriff's Department Capt. Karen Ruff.
Roland Hershman, who was superintendent at the time and the focus of the investigation, emphatically denied any wrongdoing and suggested that the accusers had ulterior motives.
"I did nothing improper with any kid," he said in an interview with a reporter. "I never hurt a kid or touched a kid sexually. That's all I can say."
Ruff said the Sheriff's Department's job was to investigate the matter and collect information, not to draw any conclusions. "If the matter was not beyond the statute of limitations, the report would have been forwarded to the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office to determine if there should be charges," she said.
Allegations by eight men who were at the juvenile facility - then known as the Wisconsin School for Boys - said Hershman sexually assaulted them on many occasions, according to a 200-page report by the Sheriff's Department. Nine other men interviewed by investigators claim they were assaulted by other staff members at the institution or at other state facilities.
The report details dozens of alleged incidents of sexual assault, including numerous incidents of sodomy, oral sex and other molestation.
One of the victims told police he was molested "hundreds" of times by Hershman, now 86, of Green Bay. Another alleged that Hershman assaulted him daily, according to the report.
Hershman's work was highly respected, to the point that the Wisconsin Correctional Association gives out an annual award in his name.
Despite no possibility of prosecution, Ruff and the Department of Corrections agreed that a probe into the allegations was needed. The DOC is conducting its own investigation. The status of that investigation could not be learned by press time.
"Even though it is outside the statute of limitations, we agreed it still needed to be investigated and documented," Ruff said. "The victims needed a voice."
It is unclear whether the alleged victims may still file civil lawsuits.
The names of the victims and all but one of the alleged assailants were redacted in the report. Only Hershman's name was not redacted.
Letter initiates probe
According to the report:
The allegations came to light in a November 2009 letter to a social worker from a man seeking release from prison.
The man described a life of abuse at home and at Ethan Allen. At home, the man said, his father "brutalized him physically." The man said his father shot his mother in the head in front of him and his siblings.
The man was sent to the juvenile facility when he was 12 years old, and not long after he arrived in 1966 he claims to have been assaulted by Hershman. After each incident, Hershman allegedly slapped him so hard he fell backward, the report said. The man was eventually sent to the Green Bay reformatory school in 1969 by Hershman, as he was "no longer in the category of the young boys Roland Hershman preferred to molest," the man wrote in the letter to the social worker.
That letter was forwarded to the Department of Corrections, which in turn contacted the Sheriff's Department in February 2010. Sheriff's detective Robert Wepfer has spent more than a year on the investigation.
Wepfer interviewed 28 men who were housed at Ethan Allen during the 1960s and 1970s. Eight of those interviewed claimed they were assaulted by Hershman, according to the report. Of the eight, six were in the state prison in Waupun at the time of the investigation, and one was at another facility. Nine others claimed they were assaulted by a staff member at Ethan Allen or at another institution, the report said. Wepfer noted there was some difficulty corroborating information as some witnesses and victims are deceased and some records from that period are not available.
Also, a number of the individuals were hesitant to disclose any alleged sexual assaults by Hershman, the report said.
Ruff said it is not unusual for victims of sexual abuse to be ashamed or embarrassed to report such crimes.
"There is a high percentage - I don't have the number - of sexual assaults that go unreported," Ruff said. "They don't want to go through the process. There is shame and embarrassment."
That is more true for men, she said, especially those involved in same-sex offenses.
The allegations by the eight men include:
A man who said he was molested on "probably hundreds" of occasions by Hershman. The man was in and out of Ethan Allen in the mid-1960s to early 1970s. Another, who was at the facility in the late-1960s, said he was assaulted on "a number of occasions" by Hershman, while another man said he too was allegedly assaulted on "a number of occasions" during the mid-1960s by Hershman.
Another claimed he and another resident had to perform sex acts in front of Hershman, while Hershman allegedly performed a sex act, the report said. The other resident is now deceased. The incidents allegedly occurred in the late 1970s.
Another man claimed he was inappropriately touched in the late 1960s, while another claimed he was assaulted on multiple occasions from the late 1960s to the early 1970s by Hershman.
A man told police he was allegedly assaulted in the early 1960s on multiple occasions and the eighth man said he was allegedly assaulted on multiple occasions in about 1977 by Hershman.
Of the nine who claimed to have been assaulted by other staff members, the allegations include one who said he was molested by a counselor, and was also molested by multiple individuals at a nearby religious institution where he was taken. He said "probably others" were also molested at that facility, according to the report.
Another said he was molested at Ethan Allen as well as assaulted at the Kettle Moraine Correctional facility in Plymouth and the Green Bay Correctional Institute.
Others claimed being assaulted by "numerous staff members," including a teacher and counselor, and one alleged that a "deacon or priest" who came to the facility molested him at the facility in 1982 or 1983, the report said.
One counselor allegedly involved in an assault at Ethan Allen in the mid-1970s was later arrested that year in connection with a separate incident outside the facility for child enticement. That person was arrested in January 1983 in Milwaukee for lewd and lascivious behavior and in 1985, also in Milwaukee, for first-degree sexual assault, the report said. The man was convicted and died in Waupun in December 1989.
Like Santa Claus
While some of the victims did know each other, others did not, according to the report. The stories have a similar theme, with many of the victims either not having a father or having an abusive father. Many were in and out of Ethan Allen. The men recalled Hershman as being generous, giving gifts, and described him as loving and caring. One said Hershman was like "Santa Claus," while another said he was "like a dad to him."
Another called Hershman "smooth" and said there seemed to be a "conspiracy regarding sexual assault of children" at the facility. The man provided investigators with 50 names of youths he thought had been assaulted and said there were probably more than 200 victims, according to the report.
Another victim, who claimed he was assaulted on "almost a daily basis" by Hershman, said Hershman would make him feel like a "special person," the report said.
The man said he was also assaulted at KM Correctional, Green Bay and Waupun state prison, where he was allegedly forced to engage in sex acts in the chapel. The man said he was released in 1971, when the state Supreme Court ruled a juvenile could not be held in an adult state prison, such as Waupun.
The man, who was in prison at the time of the interview in 2010, said "people messed me up."
Field trips
Hershman would take some of the youths to McDonald's or Big Boy, to Milwaukee Bucks games or other activities, the report said. But other trips were not as innocent, according to some of the residents.
One man, who was in and out of Ethan Allen several times from 1966 to 1972, recalled repeated sexual abuse. The man recalled being taken by Hershman to a seminary in 1972, where he played a game like hide-and-seek. The man said he was assaulted by eight or nine men at the seminary, according to the report. The man did not know the name or location of the seminary.
The man also said Hershman took him to a party where the man wore a mask and something like a diaper and engaged in sex games.
Several of those interviewed recalled Hershman taking them swimming at the Waukesha YMCA, where they swam in the nude, allegedly in front of Hershman.
Allegations denied
A reporter contacted Hershman at his residence by phone Tuesday and asked about the allegations.
"That's completely false," said Hershman. "All I can think is they are looking for some money."
Asked whether the men making the allegation made up the stories, Hershman said "yes." Hershman said he never had any type of sexual relationship with a youth.
Ruff and Wepfer questioned Hershman. The investigators said Hershman was "unemotional" and talked in a "flat tone," they noted in the report.
Hershman told them there had been one claim of molestation in the early 1960s, but an investigation cleared him.
Hershman also told the officers that he did take the youths swimming on multiple occasions, and they did so without trunks, because "it was the times," the report said.
Hershman said the most he ever did was put his arm around a boy. Hershman, who never married, said he had never had a sexual encounter with a man, according to the report.
Hershman's work at Ethan Allen has been recognized through the Roland C. Hershman Award for meritorious dedication to the field of juvenile justice, which is presented by the Wisconsin Correctional Association.
"This award recognizes an individual in the public or private sector who has provided leadership for change of youth involved in the juvenile justice system," according to the WCA website.
Charles Cole, director of the DOC, did not return calls seeking comment.
Ruff said this is "one of the most involved cases" of sexual abuse investigated by the Sheriff's Department, and gave kudos to Wepfer. "He did a phenomenal job," Ruff said. Wepfer has been working as a sensitive crime detective for years.
"It is very disturbing," said Ruff of the allegations. Ruff said Ethan Allen now has in place a number of measures to ensure such incidents do not happen. Ruff said she did not know what protocols were in place at the facility during the 1960s or '70s.
Ruff said there have been probes into other alleged assaults at the facility and "Ethan Allen has cooperated fully."
The more recent cases, however, were "nothing to this extent," she said.
Future of Ethan Allen
The future of the Ethan Allen is uncertain. Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget calls for closing the juvenile detention facility in the Town of Delafield as well as Southern Oaks Girls School in Racine in favor of consolidating juvenile operations at Lincoln Hills School in Irma near Wausau.
State Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) of the 33rd Assembly District has suggested the property should be sold.

Wiseman, Beth
Adult Fiction WISEMAN
Summary: A search for peace in Amish country proves anything but simple for a woman on the run from life . . . and herself. On the rolling plains of Lancaster County, PA, Lillian Miller is searching for her grandparents' house . . . and so much more. After years of neglect and abuse, she's turning to a lifestyle of simplicity among the Amish to find herself. As she discards the distractions of her former life, she befriends the young boy working on her family's farm, and his attractive widowed father, Samuel Stoltzfus. Despite Lillian's best efforts to the contrary, her feelings for Samuel-and his for her-deepen. Will Lillian find her faith in Plain living, or will she be forced to return to her former life?

FAQ: Does intelligent design theory implement the scientific method?
The Long Answer:
Intelligent design uses the scientific method to detect design. The following is a description of the scientific method:
Basic Intelligent Design:
i. Observation:
The ways that intelligent agents act can be observed in the natural world and described. When intelligent agents act, it is observed that they produce high levels of "complex-specified information" (CSI). CSI is basically a scenario which is unlikely to happen (making it complex), and conforms to a pattern (making it specified). Language and machines are good examples of things with much CSI. From our understanding of the world, high levels of CSI are always the product of intelligent design.
ii. Hypothesis:
If an object in the natural world was designed, then we should be able to examine that object and find the same high levels of CSI in the natural world as we find in human-designed objects.
iii. Experiment:
We can examine biological structures to test if high CSI exists. When we look at natural objects in biology, we find many machine-like structures which are specified, because they have a particular arrangement of parts which is necessary for them to function, and complex because they have an unlikely arrangement of many interacting parts. These biological machines are "irreducibly complex," for any change in the nature or arrangement of these parts would destroy their function. Irreducibly complex structures cannot be built up through an alternative theory, such as Darwinian evolution, because Darwinian evolution requires that a biological structure be functional along every small-step of its evolution. "Reverse engineering" of these structures shows that they cease to function if changed even slightly.
iv. Conclusion:
Because they exhibit high levels of CSI, a quality known to be produced only by intelligent design, and because there is no other known mechanism to explain the origin of these "irreducibly complex" biological structures, we conclude that they were intelligently designed.

A master teacher provides delicious recipes and explains the principles behind the essential technique of roasting.
Successful restaurateurs have always known that adding "roasted" to a dish guarantees immediate appeal. Molly Stevens brings her trademark thoroughness and eye for detail to the technique of roasting. She breaks down when to use high heat, moderate heat, or low heat to produce juicy, well-seared meats, caramelized drippings, and concentrated flavors. Her 150 recipes feature the full range of dishes from beef, lamb, pork, and poultry to seafood and vegetables. Showstoppers include porchetta ingeniously made with a loin of pork, a roast goose with potato-sage stuffing, and a one-hour beef rib roast-dishes we've dreamed of making, and that Molly makes possible with her precise and encouraging instructions. Other recipes such as a Sunday supper roast chicken, herb-roasted shrimp, and blasted broccoli make this an indispensable book for home cooks and chefs. All About Roasting is like having the best teacher in America in the kitchen with you.

if i ever delete my blog assume i'm dating harry styles
spooning with harry would be perfect though because your small body would mould into his big broad one and he'd have his leg over yours and his hand would be on your stomach and he'd probably stroke it and then he'd give your neck and ear lots of kisses and he'd probably whisper cute things into your ear and make you blush and he'd simply giggle and tell you how much he loves you

Below you will find two resources for locating Residential Homes and Day Treatment Centers (TRCCF) in Colorado.
The first is an attachment (.pdf) that is provided by the Colorado Department of Human Services website.
The second is listed and made possible using the United Way 2-1-1 database. This combines two searches, the first �residential treatment centers� and the other �day treatment centers�. This data was put into one document for your convenience; data was copied without altering content including links which will redirect you to the 2-1-1 website). For more information on this tool which includes resources in many areas go to their website at www.211.org. Due to some overlap in services there may be duplicates listed.

The man known as the Casanova con man is behind bars once again.
Nick Kasemehas, 73, was captured in southern California. Police arrested him late Thursday night on an outstanding warrant out of Multnomah County.
Local police tell us the career con man was only out of prison for eight months, but managed to allegedly scam five local victims out of nearly $150,000.
Kasemehas was first arrested in Portland back in 2008 for running countless cons. After serving time in prison, detectives say he befriended Danny Wold months ago.
Wold says the suspect became like a father figure to him.
Wold had just started a delivery and shuttle service, and Kasemehas hired him to drive him to appointments around Salem, Albany and Portland.
Kasemehas told Wold he was a retired defense attorney, and he was doing pro bono work in the area.
Then a few months ago, he offered Wold the chance to make extra money by investing in his fraudulent loan company.
Wold says he knew nothing of the suspect's past, and trusted him with his whole heart and tens of thousands in cash.
Now that Kasemehas is caught, Wold say he looks forward to him being brought to justice.
"I would say other than taking my money, he hurt me, and I thought he was a real true friend," said Danny Wold.
"I became close to the man, and I thought he had the same feelings for me. The last seven months have been something I've never experienced in my life, and it doesn't seem like he feels bad about that."
Detectives say Kasemehas remains behind bars in California, where he awaits extradition back to Oregon.

The one moment that has always stuck with me is the Lament of the Highborn. It is a little treat that has nothing to do with gameplay. You don't get some epic loot, but a song. I run every character I can through it. Still to this day when I am in UC, and hear it start up, I drop whatever I am doing and head to Sylvanus.

"they only have to play until the other team loses rather than having to keep up a defense the whole time. That means shorter battlegrounds for the Alliance"
I can understand how it is easier for Alliance to get the "no walls breached" achievement since they can force the horde to play the entire 10 minutes of defense, but could someone pelase explain how one side can have a "shorter battleground"?
Alliance can get shorter Queue times because they always used to start first.
Picture this.
Good alliance group vs bad Gorde group. Alliance win in 4 minutes, Horde try to cap within 4 minutes. That means it's an 8 minute game.
Bad Alliance group vs good Horde group. Alliance never take the orb, therefore 10 minutes have passed by, and then a 4 minute win means a 14 minute game.
The coin flip will balance this out.
Yes this was an issue, anything that makes the game imbalanced for 1 side is an issue. (Probably going to get inc flames about racials) It's not like PvE penalizes you for picking a side.

A New Year, A New You!" How many times have we all heard that? For myself, I would have to say just about every year of my adult life, but for the first time ever, I think I truly believe it.
Dec. 29 was our first meeting for the FIT Challenge, and after surviving the trek up the stairs, I must admit I am very excited!
Seeing the former contestants and how far they have come was so encouraging. Also, it was nice to be in a room full of other people who essentially want the same thing I do. We may all have different reasons for wanting to be healthier, but we all have the same goal.
I am so pumped about having a membership to Curves in Norwalk. I am a very outgoing person for the most part, but I must admit, going to the gym is something that made me very uncomfortable.
It seems like every time I think about going to a gym, I envision people there with perfect bodies wearing spandex doing this intense workout, yet not sweating. I just freak out in my mind and can't walk through the doors. I feel like all eyes would be on me ... the new ... the unfit ... the fat girl in the corner who can't keep up. Just thinking about it makes me sweat!
I must admit, I was even nervous about meeting my trainer Tracy Krueger, and Curves owner Cindy McLeod. Call me a control freak, but it was more a fear of the unknown. I didn't want to stand on that scale. I didn't want the tape measure to come out. I didn't even know if I could make it through a workout, but guess what? I did make it. I did stand on the scale, and yes, the tape measure even came out.
You know what else? It sucked! It was just as bad as I expected, and now I am over it. The girls at Curves were not judgmental at all; they just said "we have a starting point, and we will do this!" Everyone there has been very friendly and encouraging, and seeing the other women come in and hearing their success stories has me excited to be the next one!

Rumors have been circulating that rock legends ACϟDC may be retiring after an incredible 40-year career due to the deteriorating health of guitarist, singer, and songwriter Malcolm Young. At first it was reported that Young, whose brother Angus is the lead guitarist and more public face of the band, was stricken with terminal cancer, but word is now that he actually suffered a stroke, which has left a blod clot in his brain. Note that this is all unconfirmed. The effects of a stroke can vary wildly from patient to patient and Young could certainly have a near-full recovery, but even in that case, it seems unlikely that he would continue the rigorous schedule of a touring rock band. A press conference is expected tomorrow.
What can be said about ACϟDC? They have been the world's premier hard rock band for my entire life. Just when I was ready to write them off, I happened to catch them a couple of years ago and was absolutely blown away by their performance. They survived the death of their iconic lead singer, Bon Scott, only to come back with the landmark Back In Black record, continuing their career with a string of hits and an incredibly loyal fan base that renewed itself each year. We wish them the best. (h/t The Orstrahyun)

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 57th Street to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have their own character: the 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all that plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office.) Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, there are some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views to match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

One of the city's most famous residential buildings, The Century is a 1931 Art Deco condominium on Central Park West. It was designed by Irwin Chanin to replace The Century Theatre, a performing arts venue, from which the apartment building derives its name. One of only three condominium buildings on Central Park West south of 88th Street (the others are Trump International Hotel and Tower and 15 Central Park West), The Century – together with The Majestic, The San Remo, The Beresford, and The El Dorado – contributes to the unique skyline of Central Park West. It was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1985. At the time, the Landmarks Commission praised it for its "sophisticated essay in Art Deco design exhibiting a complex balance of horizontal and vertical elements."
Additional features of this building include: Bicycle Room, Full Service Building, Pets Allowed, 24 Hr Doormen & Concierge, Attended Service Elevators, Landscaped Garden, Resident Manager, Renovated Lobby.
