By Kiery KingOriginally posted on Bridging the Gap Pepper Potts was in an Iron Man suit. The suit was keeping her alive. She couldn't just take it off whenever she wanted to, because to do so before she was in a place to receive proper and necessary medical care would be her death. As it was, the condition that lead her to live in an Iron Man suit was complicated and treatment wasn't easy, not even for someone close to Mr. Stark. So Pepper Potts wore an Iron Man suit. She wore it every day a … [Read more...]

Pope Tries to Have It Both Ways on Family Size
In a recent statement, Pope Francis took on couples who choose not to have children: Pope Francis has chided couples who choose not to have children, saying the decision is a "selfish" act. The statement, made in his general audience in St Peter's Square, will be seen as especially controversial in Italy, which has recorded a steady drop in its birth rate for decades."A society with a greedy generation, that doesn't want to surround itself with children, that considers them above all worriso … [Read more...]
Anonymous Tip: Donna Makes Her Case
Anonymous Tip: A Review SeriesGail tells Donna to talk to her as though she were the judge, and to make the case, and so Donna does. Remember that this is the case Donna is presenting in order to have Casey removed, and it is intentionally false on several points. So when Donna claims to be concerned about Casey's wellbeing, we have to doubt that. Donna was not pleased to learn that Gwen spanks Casey, but spanking is legal, and spanking is not the reason Donna is trying to take Casey away. S … [Read more...]

Anonymous Tip: Doctoring the Timeline
Anonymous Tip: A Review SeriesFarris tells us that Donna the social worker went to see Gail the prosecutor on Wednesday. This means that after speaking with her supervisor, Blackburn, on Thursday, Donna waited six days before filing her report and speaking with the prosecutor. This was of course the plan, to ensure that when she falsely reported having seen fading bruises, there would be no way to verify if there had actually been such bruises, because by then they would have faded away rega … [Read more...]
Anonymous Tip: Meet the Prosecutor
Anonymous Tip: A Review SeriesLast week we began chapter 2 of Michael Farris's novel, Anonymous Tip. In the opening pages of the chapter, Donna, the social worker, hatched a plan with her supervisor, Blackburn, to frame Gwen Landis for abuse in order to remove her daughter Casey from her home. Remember that Donna forced her way into Gwen's home on the basis of an anonymous tip, and there found no evidence for abuse. In spite of this, Donna wants to take Gwen's daughter Casey from her. Why, … [Read more...]
Anonymous Tip: Donna Hatches a Plan
Anonymous Tip: A Review SeriesWhen we finished chapter one last week, it would seem that social worker Donna Corliss's investigation of an anonymous child abuse tip made against Gwen Landis had finally come to its conclusion. Donna used fraudulent means to get into Gwen's house (which included lying to both the police and to Gwen), and then forcibly strip-searched young Casey as she screamed. But they found no bruises, and while Gwen admitted that she sometimes spanked Casey with a wooden … [Read more...]


text: What I wanted to write about was the feeling of being ripped up, that pieces are being torn off me, that sometimes I believe I can actually feel my soul being just a little shredded. I tried to write that and it came out as some kind of poem, the kind that my friend once said "Oh, so this is what fire is for, to toss this into." Not so good. So now I'm just trying to write AROUND the idea for a bit, and what I wanted to get to from there was the thought that if all these pieces are being ripped off of me, maybe I can make something of it, some kind of papier mache creation, if the words of me are ripped off and then dipped in liquid and then reformed, wouldn't the new me be marvelous, the way I planned it, some kind of collage beauty that only showed the parts I wanted to show, something lovely. But right now it feels mostly like the tearing part, the rip of paper, the destruction, and I feel like the pieces are just blown into the wind before they can be reassembled into anything of meaning.

We enjoyed our two night stay at the Clarion in Muscatine and found the staff to be pleasant and the rooms clean. The pillows and comforter were absolutely WONDERFUL and the entire family commented on them.
The continental breakfast was nice and we enjoyed the selection!
The only negative was that the indoor pool was quite chilly and the kids were disappointed that we had to say "no" to swimming. We didn't get to check out the hot tub because of our kids, but we did hear people using that.
We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Review for Scientek-12 Foundation (Known As Sarsef), Tucson, AZ, USA
SARSEF is, in my opinion, the most organized and well run science fair in Arizona. I have enjoyed their fairs much more than AzSEF, which is the state fair.
