Are there intelligent life forms elsewhere in the universe? Does God love them as much as He loves us?
These are out-of-this-world crazy questions. Why are they being posed? Because a philosophy professor from Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany named Christian Weidemann gave a speech at the "100-Year Starship Symposium" in Orlando, Florida.
The professor's lecture was entitled, "Did Jesus Die for Klingons, Too?"
"According to Christianity, an historic event some 2,000 years ago was supposed to save the whole of creation," Weidemann pointed out.
However, how would that work if all of creation includes 125 billion galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars in each, as astronomers think, and what if some of those stars have planets with advanced civilizations, too?
Does Jesus' atoning death on the cross on planet Earth save souls in outer space?
MSNBC reports, "The discovery of intelligent aliens would be mind-blowing in many respects, but it could present a special dilemma for the world's religions. … Christians, in particular, might take the news hardest, because the Christian belief system does not easily allow for other intelligent beings in the universe, Christian thinkers said at the 100 Year Starship Symposium."
Really? We can't accept "other intelligent beings"? God created the universe. I'm pretty sure God is an intelligent being. God's not an idiot. Some people refer to creation as "intelligent design." That implies a smart Creator – and He doesn't live here on Earth.
Christians refer to angels and demons. Those are other-worldly, and most likely intelligent. They can't all be stupid spirits. We speak of heaven. Is that filled with dummies?
It's arrogant to think that we're the only "intelligent beings" God created. We're not the only ones, and we don't have exclusivity on brains. (Heaven help us if that were the case, as some humans are really stupid!)
Many theorize that the discovery of life forms on other planets would destroy Christianity because Christianity is based on the idea that God came down to Earth in human form to save humanity.
In his talk, Weidemann presented three possibilities:
1) God likes us best. He decided to save us and abandon all the other life forms. "If so," Weidemann conjectured, "our position among intelligent beings in the universe would be very exceptional."
2) Only humans need to be saved. Perhaps humans are the only "sinners" in all of God's universal creation, and thus are the only ones requiring a Savior. Humans are flawed; the aliens are perfect.
3) God decided to save all, with an incarnation of Himself sent to each planet.
"If there are extra-terrestrial intelligent beings at all, it is safe to assume that most of them are sinners, too," Weidemann theorized. "If so, did Jesus save them, too?"
The Christian Post reports on the professor's possible solution: "In order for that to be possible, however, he says multiple incarnations of God would have to exist at the same time. Assuming each incarnation took about 30 years, and based on how long civilizations are expected to survive, he estimates that there would have to be approximately 250 incarnations of God present in the universe at any given time to cover the sins of each civilization."
That same article also says, "Another professor from Ruhr-University Bochum, Michael Waltemathe, acknowledged that this theory would be much more difficult to reconcile with Christianity than it would with other world religions, many of which either believe in multiple gods or don't assert that God's incarnation came specifically to Earth to save His creation."
"It seems to be only a problem of Christianity," Waltemathe said.
MSNBC paraphrases Waltemathe: "In Islam, for example, Muhammad was a prophet, or messenger of God, not God incarnate, so additional prophets could have simultaneously visited other planets to save extraterrestrial species, he said. And Hindus already believe in multiple deities, so accommodating more to guard over alien civilizations may not be difficult."
So let's answer Professor Weidemann's question. Did Jesus die for Klingons, too? Sure, why not? Perhaps Jesus' death and resurrection on this planet was enough to save everyone on every planet.
This is why we celebrate Christmas. And at least one space alien does, too.
If Marvin the Martian observes the birth of Christ, what's to prevent other extra terrestrials from doing so as well?
Let's review our choices. God saves humans and screws the aliens, or God saves humans and doesn't need to save the aliens, or God saves both humans and aliens by sending Jesus all over the universe.
There could also be a fourth possibility. Maybe God came up with a different way to deal with the aliens. God coming in the flesh on Earth is the one way He chose to save humans. Maybe that wouldn't work in other worlds.
Perhaps the alien salvation plan is something else entirely. Like what? How should I know? We can't even conclusively prove that there are alien life forms, and you want me to divulge the spaceman's salvation method?
By the way, what are the chances of crucifixion existing in other worlds?
The ultimate goal of salvation, of course, is eternal life. When E.T. phoned home, was he trying to reach heaven?
Will all the life forms go to the same heaven? Will we even be able to distinguish the various life forms? If all become spirit, then it won't matter what the bodies looked like.
If humans were created in God's image, maybe the aliens were, too. Perhaps they look a lot like us. Perhaps they need salvation, too – by whatever means God chose to manifest it.

Egypt: Did Kim & Beyonce Shop At The Same Fabric Store?
May 8, 2013 12:05 PM
We love 'em, but …
I guess even Kim Kardashian and Beyonce can get it wrong once in awhile.
(And that awhile may have been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala).
Kerry Washington's isn't the nicest – but at least it's not AS confusing!
Both Kim and Beyonce were wearing Riccardo Tisci Givenchy dresses, while Kerry chose a Vera Wang gown.
(You know these outfits were over $10,000 a pop!)
I wouldn't have paid $10 for them. But I guess we can't blame the ladies; blame it on the designers.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 14
Griffonia lectin
Posted By: Peter D'Adamo
In Response To: Help me understand Griffonia (sTeve)
Griffonia lectin has moderate to mild reactivity with both A and B antigen, but more importantly, reacts with Lewis B antigen (a rare occurence). As I've mentioned, Lewis typing can be a 'quick and dirty' way to determine secretor status. Basically, we all start off making Lewis A (unless you are one of the .5% of the world that makes no Lewis antigen, a topic for another post) but secretors convert all their Lewis A antigen into Lewis B, so Non-secretors are Lewis A+ Lewis B- and secretors are Lewis A- Lewis B+.
This Griffonia is more of a problem in Type A and B Secretors, than in A or B Non-secretors.
Why is this important?
Most of the newer type tryptophane supplements ('5HT') are derived from Griffonia.

They got me hyped again :D
With the best parts of first-person shooter melded together with third-person realtime strategy, Empires Mod is a refreshingly unique game. This Source mod won the Moddb 2006 multi-genre award. Empires Mod 2.0 boasts riveting, strategic gameplay with an emphasis on teamwork and enough action to keep the adrenaline junkie in you interested.
Halflife.nu has conducted an interview with the leader of Empires. There are three exclusive shots of aircraft which are coming after Empires 2.0's release (Nov 30).

Halflife.nu has conducted an interview with the leader of Empires. There are three exclusive shots of aircraft which are coming after Empires 2.0's release (Nov 30).
They got me hyped again :D
haha, same here. I was one of those guys who left with a bad aftertaste for this mod. But all this press I'm seeing for it (they even got a video listed on gametrailers.com!) is gonna bring me back for a another go.
Empires 2.0 releases 30th November
deatials about the new release right here
just a heads up for those that don't know yet :)
details- sorry for typo there.
Hopefully there'll be more people playing this time round!
There will! Empires has now 250 profile-visitors a day and its definately THE BEST MOD ever!
Just don't forget the planes won't be included with 2.0. They'll be available in a future installment.
Putting the trailer on gametrailers.com seems to be the best choice ever. I can't believe how many people have mentioned it. Sweet!
Interesting interview! And for once it actually addresses some of the known problems and has questions asked by someone who really seems to know what he's talking about, instead of just asking about what's in the game.
Although i suppose some people would've wanted to know more about the game itself.
Give it a try, and you'll find out soon enough ;-)
Oh man, if they fixed the lag, this is going to be awesome!!
Lag is pwned.

10 Low-Calorie, Easy-to-Make Salad Dressings
Dress up your boring salad with these delicious, low(er) calorie recipes.
 Salad dressings photo via Shutterstock
Bottled salad dressing can turn your healthy lunch into a creamy mess of extra calories. Luckily, vinaigrettes are a breeze to whip up, and all the ingredients are probably already in your pantry.
These recipes should make enough to keep some in your fridge for future use. Most of the time the bottles will just need a solid shake before using. But if the dressing doesn't come back together within a couple shakes, then toss everything into a blender and take it for a whirl until everything is recombined.
DIY dressings are an easy way to keep sneaky calories out of your salad. With these vinaigrettes, you won't have to feel guilty about splashing a little extra onto your greens. Happy whisking!
1. Asian Vinaigrette
via Food.com
Asian flavored dressings can be very versatile. This dressing will pop on a cold noodle salad with seared tuna as well as dress up grilled chicken over spinach with edamame and green beans.
2. Honey-Balsamic VinaigretteÂ
via Marthastewart.com
This recipe combines two classics into one. For a dressing with more texture, substitute the Dijon mustard for coarse grainy mustard. Or kick up the heat with spicy Dijon mustard.
3. Fat Free Vegan Goddess Dressing
via Fat Free Vegan Kitchen
Vegans love creamy dressings too. This recipe is an adaptation of Annie's popular Green Goddess dressing. The creamy texture is achieved with silken tofu, which slashes the fat and adds protein.

4. Low-Fat Buttermilk Ranch
via SkinnyTaste
Buttermilk ranch dressing is one of my salad indulgences. Try a BLT inspired salad with buttery bib lettuce, crispy turkey bacon, and heirloom tomatoes, all topped off with a drizzle of tangy buttermilk ranch.
 5. Orange-Raspberry Vinaigrette
via Southern Living
The sweet and fruity base of this dressing is countered by the minced jalapeño for an added kick. Top a salad with chicken, cucumber, and mint for a really nice pairing.

6. Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
via My Recipes
In its original form, this recipe doesn't scream "ready for the beach." But with a simple swap of turkey bacon for regular bacon, this dressing isn't so bad. The recipe also makes a lot of dressing (1-1/2 cups) so feel free to cut everything in half.
7. Low Fat Bleu Cheese Dressing
via Honest Fare
This lower fat version of bleu cheese dressing will be best on grilled or baked buffalo chicken (if you're eating low fat dressing, then skip the fried wings).
8. Light Creamy Caesar DressingÂ
via Cooking LightÂ
The recipe calls for plain yogurt, but if you like your dressing extra thick and creamy, opt for nonfat plain Greek yogurt. If you can't find anchovy paste in the tube, then finely dice one or two whole anchovies.
9. Parmesan and Peppercorn Ranch Dressing
via All Recipes
Lovers of parmesan peppercorn dressing can try this lower fat version for a (mostly) guilt-free indulgence.
10. Grapefruit Vinaigrette Â
via Country Living
Citrus on a salad really makes flavors pop. Grapefruit pairs perfectly with arugula and thinly sliced fennel for a lovely appetizer salad.

Childish Gambino for CR Fashion Book
Gambino scores surreal short for the fashion titlePosted By Khairun Hamid | 11-Jan-2014
No, you won't be seeing Donald Glover's face on Carine Roitfeld's t-shirt (though that would be pretty awesome). His music-making alter ego, Childish Gambino has been selected to provide the sonic setting for the latest CR Fashion Book short film.
The video, entitled "Entropy", is set in this bizarre freeze frame of a tense high fashion dinner party, with clothing and accessories provided by the likes of Lanvin, Saint Laurent and Manolo Blahnik among others. As odd as it might seem on paper, the pairing of Gambino's track "Zealots of Stockholm" with this surreal video concept is actually perfect. Check out the spacey short above.

An Illustrated History of Old Sutton in St. Helens, Lancashire
Part 6 (of 80 parts) - Sutton's Halls & Houses
e) Middlehurst House | f) Ellam's House | g) Ravenhead House | h) Mill House
Sherdley Estate Photo Album Researched & Written by Stephen Wainwright ©MMXV
Middlehurst House | Ellam's House | Ravenhead House | Mill House
Sherdley Estate Photo Album Researched & Written by Stephen Wainwright
Also see the Sherdley estate page for details of Sherdley Hall, Sutton Hall, Costeth House, Sutton Grange etc.
a) Bold HallOn May 6th 1893, Henry Young the agent for Mrs. Harriet Wyatt, owner of the historic but dilapidated Bold Hall, sent out employment termination notices to dozens of estate employees. By that time, the Bold Hall estate was a shadow of its former self. Its connection with the Bold family had long been severed and in earlier years of the nineteenth century it had been owned by Polish royalty, by a cockfighting fanatic and by an eccentric Wigan cotton spinner who equated books with manure!
In 1848 the estate had consisted of almost 7000 acres with many tenant farmers. But in the year of its demise, it was down to 13 farms on 1500 acres of land that the Liverpool Mercury said was 'famous for its fertility and richness' (Liv. Merc. 8/5/1893). It had also become known for the minerals beneath its surface which had attracted the interest of a syndicate led by industrialist David Gamble and colliery proprietors. The sale of the land and subsequent demolition of the hall as part of the Bold Colliery development, was the end of a historic era that stretched back a remarkable 500 years.
Bold Hall was the home of the ancient family of Bold or Bolde, who settled there before the Conquest and ran the estate for hundreds of years. However when Peter Bold MP died in 1761 leaving three daughters but no son, it was the beginning of the end for the powerful family. In 1813 Peter Patten of the Warrington industrialists, who had previously married into the Bolds, took control of the estate. Upon his death in October 1819, it was inherited by his eldest daughter, Mary.

An indication of the opulence of Bold Hall at that time was the cost of the damage done by the terrible thunderstorm of April 25th 1821. So much glass was smashed by hail which drove like nails into its windows, that it cost £800 to replace. In today's money that equates to around £30,000.
On December 21st 1822, Mary married Polish nobleman Prince Sapicha in Florence and the royal couple took up residence at Bold Hall at the beginning of August 1823. However Mary only enjoyed life as a princess for two years, dying in Rome in December 1824. The estate passed to her sister Dorothea, who on May 23rd 1820 had married Henry Hoghton of Walton Hall near Preston. He added the name of Bold to his surname and in December 1835, upon the death of his father, became Sir Henry Bold Hoghton, baronet. Cockfighting was his hobby and he kept as many as 500 cocks within Bold Hall. A 'setter' was paid the remarkable salary of £600 per year to look after the birds. A dedicated cock-fighting room was created using an iron cradle that moved on a rail. Gambling stakes were thrown into wooden bowls and many thousands of pounds were said to have been won and lost.
Henry and Dorothea's son Henry made numerous unsuccessful attempts to sell off the estate during the 1850s, eventually selling it piecemeal. In 1861 Bold Hall and some estate farms totalling 1300 acres were sold to eccentric Wigan cotton merchant William Whitacre Tipping for £120,000 (nb. in an 1870 court hearing it was said to have been upwards of £80,000). After being invited to buy what remained of the extensive library, after some books had been separately sold, Tipping reportedly said:
'Squire' Tipping, as he was locally known, died on March 10th 1889 and left what the Manchester Times said was a 'fortune of nearly half a million'. Many newspaper obituaries carried reports of Tipping's alleged eccentricities. His solicitors, however, responded that many were somewhat exaggerated. Tipping's only will had been made in 1843 and the bachelor had bequeathed all his estates to his mother, now deceased. His cousin Mrs. Harriet Wyatt of Hawley Parsonage and wife of a Hampshire clergyman, was Tipping's next of kin and so she inherited the Bold estate. Mrs. Wyatt never lived at the hall during her four years of ownership, probably because of its poor condition. Upon its sale, it was reported that the fine dining room with granite columns and four gilt cornices was in ruins with unglazed windows and rotting floor. The front door had been nailed up and the offices and stables had been dismantled and lacked windows and doors.
There were actually two Bold Halls. When Peter Bold developed his estate in the early 18th century, he commissioned Venetian architect, Giacomo (aka James) Leoni (1686 –1746) to design a new mansion. This was built in 1732 and the old hall - which the Liverpool Mercury of 1893 described as 'a curious edifice of very ancient dates' - was then used as a farmhouse to the mansion. It was said to have been rebuilt in 1616 and was only demolished in 1936, surviving the new hall by some thirty years.

The farms on the estate included Bold Hall Demesne Farm which measured 318 acres and in 1849 a sale advertisement in the Liverpool Mercury said it was '…fine Land, thoroughly drained, newly fenced, and replete with recently erected Farm Buildings, of the most approved construction, with 6-horse power Steam Engine, Thrashing and Dressing Machines, Steaming Apparatus, &c.' There was also a Moat House Farm of 186 acres, Lunts Heath Farm, Mill Green Farm, Bold Heath Farm, South Lane Farm, Tickles Farm, Cranshaw Hall Farm, Sydney Farm, Wheatacre Farm and Lane Ends Farm.
There used to be an ancient wall that surrounded the estate. However this was taken down as much of the estate was divided into five lots and sold off. These became owned by alkali manufacturer John Marsh and Mary Stapleton and in April 1862 the pair sued one another over a right of way but came to a compromise.
The woods on the Bold estate in Bold and Burtonwood generated huge quantities of timber which were regularly sold by auction. An advert in the Liverpool Mercury of January 21st 1825 described 980 oak and 110 ash trees that were going to be auctioned at the Griffin Inn. In the following year, 1519 trees were auctioned from the Griffin. Adverts described a close proximity to good roads and the Sankey Canal and promised that 'great facilities are afforded to purchasers for a removal by land or water carriage'. Here are a couple of 19th century descriptions of Bold Hall, the first was made in 1860:
b) St.Michael's House and Cromwell's OakUntil Sutton Manor Colliery arrived early in the twentieth century, the locale was agricultural with hardly any buildings apart from farmhouses. An exception was the imposing St. Michael's House, located at the junction of Walkers Lane, Chapel Lane and Lea Green Road in Micklehead, which was built in Elizabethan times and had its own moat. It was also believed to have secret passageways that provided an escape route for priests given refuge from religious persecution.
In front of St.Michael's House enclosed in a white picket fence was the so-called Cromwell's Oak with a number of theories suggested as to its legendary significance. The tree is said to have been a tombstone above Oliver Cromwell's grave, that Cromwell's horse was buried there or that his horse was simply tethered to the tree when the New Model Army commander was in the district.

A somewhat less romantic suggestion was that the tree was simply planted to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837. Another folklore theory was that the oak was planted in commemoration of one of the house's previous squires, whose favourite hunting dog was fatally run over by a stage-coach there. A bottle of whisky was also said to have been placed amongst its roots when the oak was originally planted along with a manuscript detailing its history.
Parts of St.Michael's House that are pictured above and right date back to the 13th century, with much of it built in 1530. It's said that John de Sutton lived in a house on this site in the reign of Edward I. Bold Hall Estates were the owners of St.Michael's House during the 18th century, but the house was sold in 1848 to the Whitfield family.
In 1889, John H. Kearne moved in. However the Bold Manure Works partner was found dead at the White Hart Hotel in St.Helens in May 1890. A gentleman farmer and prominent figure in St.Helens society called Francis Watmough also resided there as did the Atherton family. Sutton Pottery accountant William Shearim - with wife Maria and designer/ draughtsman son Arnold - were resident during the early years of the 19th century. Private Arnold Shearim joined the Royal Fusiliers in November 1915 and went to fight in France, dying on July 1st 1919.
Like much of the Sutton district, St.Michael's House - which was also sometimes called Micklehead House - became afflicted by subsidence. It was sold to the National Coal Board in 1960 who as a condition of purchase undertook to repair and maintain the building. However, the historic building was demolished in early 1961. (Also see: Memories of Sutton Part 1 St.Michael's House & Cromwell's Oak by David Richardson)
c) Brook HouseAlso located within what these days we would refer to as Sutton Manor, was Brook House. Situated in Walkers Lane, its age is uncertain, although it was mentioned in the Manchester Mercury of February 23rd 1819 when the daughter of William Arstall of Brook House got married. The property was regularly featured in newspaper 'Dwellings To Let' advertisements during the 19th century where it was described as a 'desirable residence' with:
d) Green End HouseGreen End House was located on Marshalls Cross Road just north of Robins Lane and near to modern-day St.Helens Hospital. For many years it was a Sutton landmark, represented on all old ordnance survey maps and on William Yates' 1786 map of Lancashire.
During later 19th century years when owned by the Hughes family, it was surrounded by industry with Sherdley Colliery on one side and Sutton Glass Works on the other. However, in 1832 when Mary Loftus moved her private boarding school from Mill Brook House, Eccleston to Green End House in Sutton, it was a country location with good transport links, just a mile from the station at St.Helens Junction.
Green End House with Sherdley Colliery in the background - Contributed by Frank Jones
In 1849, a Mrs. Musgrove advertised her school at Green End in the Liverpool Mercury, describing it as being in a 'pleasant and salubrious situation'. Before long the noise and smoke of the new glassworks and colliery would make it a less attractive location for her gentile young boarders.
Ironically, a previous occupier of Green End House was a St.Helens glassmaking pioneer, also connected with mining. James Bromilow was the second son of William, a founder of Bromilow, Foster & Co. Ltd., which owned several colleries in the St. Helens district. James established the St. Helens Crown Glass Company in 1826, along with Peter Greenall of the brewery family and the latter's brother-in-law, William Pilkington. At that time Pilkington was simply an investor in the window-making firm, pre-occupied with managing the family wine and spirit business in Church Street.
After manager John Bell left the glass company in 1828, Pilkington was forced to take over the reins and soon made it clear to Bromilow that he wasn't impressed with his bookkeeping. This led to his exit in January 1829 and within 12 months the Pilkingtons owned all the shares in the company and were on their way to riches. Not so for James Bromilow, however, as he then ran another glass factory with William West that went bankrupt.
e) Middlehurst House FarmThe historic buildings of the Sutton district have been erased from the landscape through the insidious effects of subsidence and a lack of attention to preservation by many twentieth century local authority administrations. Frank Bamber in 'Clog Clatters in Old Sutton' referred to it as "the borough council's vandalism - there is no other name for it". However, some properties were demolished in the name of progress for the community's overall benefit and one such was Middlehurst House Farm.
Build around 1650, the black and white cottage in Marshalls Cross Road was located in between the hospital and the Conservative Club in Peasley Cross. It became a St.Helens landmark for some 300 years and was used as a point of reference by both pigeon fanciers and airmen. Over the years, the house bore three different types of roof. Originally it was thatched but in the course of time it was replaced by a flag roof. However, a fire broke out because of a beam that was penetrating the chimney and when the fire brigade arrived they were forced to break the flags, which were afterwards replaced by slates.
The house had ten rooms, however, each were only seven feet high with thick old beams in their roofs. There was a large cellar and under it ran natural springs, which were used to keep the dairy cool when it was a working farm.
Farming ceased early in the twentieth century because of chemicals in the soil and the farm was taken over by the Sutton Oak Brick Company for brick making. The Hayes family were the last to farm the land and Thomas Hayes returned as tenant in 1912 to live in the house. During WWII he was forbidden from repainting the cottage, as its distinctive black and white panelling showed up too clearly from the air.
The Hughes family were the owners of the house and land and in the early 1950s, Michael Hughes-Young sold it to St. Helens Hospital nearby. They demolished the cottage in 1954 to pave the way for a hospital expansion that included two new wards, an operating theatre, physiotherapy department and an out-patients clinic. Half a century later the old hospital has gone to make way for a new £100 million state-of-the-art complex, which was given the royal seal of approval in June 2010 when the Duke of York made a visit and unveiled a plaque. Progress, like time, marches on.
This article has been mainly sourced from a report in the St.Helens Reporter of July 16th 1954
f) Ellam's House or 'Tripe Shaws'
Ellam's House was one of the oldest houses in Sutton, built in the early 1700s in what became Ellamsbridge Road. It was probably the home of 18th century landowner Henry Ellam and from the late 1890s to the late 1920s, it was known to Suttoners as 'Tripe Shaws'. There was a simple explanation for this as Ellam's House was occupied by George and Mary Shaw who sold tripe and pigs' trotters!
Ellam's House in Ellamsbridge Road near Edgeworth Street in Sutton was nicknamed Tripe Shaws
It was a farmhouse-type building with greyish-green outside walls that had been rendered in cement. It was quite a substantial-sized property, with a seven-foot fence at its front. Ellam's House had a large porch over its front door with a stone flagged floor and an apex roof. Along each inside wall were wooden form seats that were built in, with each capable of seating a dozen people. Perhaps their original purpose had been to seat farm workers at meal times?
On Saturday nights, powerfully-built George Shaw would climb into his tripe trap that was pulled by his horse Charlie. He then travelled round Sutton visiting all the pubs and selling his tripe to the customers. Probably bartering one or two pints for himself with the landlords too! Shaw didn't have to travel far to get to the Victoria pub, however. This bore the nickname of 'The Little Pig' and was only across the road from Ellams House. Fletcher's abattoir had given rise to the pub's nickname and Shaw would have sourced his pigs' trotters from his neighbour.
At one time the Shaws had a young dog who drove the neighbours mad with its barking. So one Sutton wag wrote a poem called 'Tripe Shaws Pup':
It's only small and black and white, but jumps up and down like a frog.
You can see it there from first daylight, until it's nearly dark,
If you can't see it, you can certainly hear it, 'cause this bugger can't half bark.
It's tied up on some kind of rope, just behind 'owd Tripe Shaw's shed,
And the only time the bugger shuts up is when the bugger's being fed.
It has a pretty little face with a long and fluffy tail,
And it jumps for joy when 'owd George comes home after being on the ale.
Many years ago we had a man called "The Knocker Up",
We don't need one now, this present day, we can rely on this bloody pup.
It might be better, after rabbits or rounding up some sheep,
I wish he'd take the bugger there, so then we'd get some sleep.
g) Ravenhead HouseThe grade 2 listed Ravenhead House is the oldest property in the former Sutton township, dating back to around 1773. That was the year the British Cast Plate Glass Company began operating in Ravenhead. The mansion was built by industrialist John Mackay, who was a proprietor of the glassworks and influenced by the new Gothic style. However after his death in 1793, the new owner of Ravenhead House, Col. James Fraser who was Mackay's son-in-law, altered the building into the classical style.
Fellow industrialist William Keates lived in the mansion for a few years during the 1830s. An advert in the Liverpool Mercury of January 23rd 1835 offered Ravenhead House to let, describing it as the 'capital and commodious MANSION, called RAVENHEAD HOUSE, with the Stables, Coach-houses, and other Outbuildings, and the Hot-houses, Green-house, Gardens, Lawns, Pleasure-grounds, and other Appurtenances thereunto adjoining and belonging, situate and being at Ravenhead, within Sutton. In the county of Lancaster, and now in the occupation of Mr. Keats, as Tenant thereof. The Dining-room is 27 feet long, and 18 feet wide; the Drawing-room is of the same dimensions, and the other apartments are equally good. The House is in complete repair, and the Gardens are in a high state of cultivation. These Premises are pleasantly situated, within one mile of St. Helen's, and three of Prescot, and form a most desirable Residence for a family of respectability'.
Ravenhead House in Factory Row, Ravenhead which became offices for Pilkington's
The Ravenhead House estate and lands within Sutton were considerable. In the Liverpool Mercury of March 15th 1839, an estate auction was advertised with the timber from 300 oak, ash, elm, alder, sycamore, willow, poplar, fir and chestnut trees available. Not as much timber as the Bold estate regularly auctioned, but still considerable. James Lawrenson was then the tenant. By the turn of the 20th century, it was Robert G. Ridgeway who was the Ravenhead House tenant. He appeared in many newspapers nationwide providing testimony to a form of cod-liver oil called Scott's Emulsion which had cured his catarrh. Glassmaker's Pilkington later took over Ravenhead House, using it as a works office for many years.
h) Mill House in Mill BrowAs one of Sutton's historic houses, Mill House is unusual in that the Mill Brow property still exists, although radically changed. When its modernisation began in 1937/38, builder Wilf Twist of Thomas & Twist told his daughter Lily "Don't be fooled by its present appearance. It's a very old house that goes well back into the 1800s".
Although Mill House has been (and still is) a highly attractive property, its main claim for inclusion in this page concerns its historic associations. It was almost certainly the miller's house and originally inhabited by the Lamb family, who ran the nearby Sutton water and steam mills. It was said that Mill House was connected to the mill by a tunnel, but that is unproven. Romantic rumours of hidden chambers in Sherdley Park are also part of Sutton folklore but similarly unsubstantiated.
Mill House and the Cope Workshop pictured around 1910 with the remnants of the water mill in the foreground
The Rose family briefly succeeded the Lambs as millers but by the 1890s their enterprise had closed. Mill House's connection with corn milling was also severed, but not with industry. For many years the house was owned by craftsman William J. Cope, who was a renowned tent and marquee maker with his own workshop adjacent to his home. The remarkable photograph above was taken in the gardens of Mill House in September 1929 during the Cope's diamond wedding celebrations and features four generations of the family.

William Cope was born in 1844 in Newnham in Gloucestershire, the product of an old West of England family who for generations had obtained a tough livelihood from the sea. Cope's eldest brother, Robert Cope, spent fifty years afloat and captained one of the first steamers ever built. Young William inherited the family's adventurous streak and ran away from home at the age of eight. Three years later he sailed as ship's boy on a brig that was taking out wooden huts to English soldiers fighting in the Crimea.

When back on shore, William began work at Worcester in the sheeting and tarpaulin department of the Gloucester, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway Co. In 1860 at the age of 16 he moved to London and became articled to tent makers Unsts of Edgeware Road. While working with the company, he helped to set up the International Flower Show at Kensington. William found himself delegated to hold an umbrella over the head of the future King Edward VII (then Prince of Wales) to shelter him from the rain.
After relocating to Birmingham where he married his wife Charlotte in 1869, William moved to Sutton in 1872 charged with managing the sheeting sheds at St.Helens Junction. He was then living in Bold Road and he left the sheds in 1882, to begin his own business of tent and marquee makers. Cope was a keen sportsman and both promoted and played for the London and North Western Cricket Club of Sutton. In his youth he had been involved in bare-knuckle fighting and had even sparred with the legendary Tom Sayers, whose funeral in 1865 was said to have attracted 100,000 people.
Just when William and Charlotte Cope moved into Mill House is unclear. It was probably in the mid-1890s, although his family were resident elsewhere in 1901. For reasons unknown, Cope became the licensee of the Mill House Inn for a period during the late 1890s. William's tent-making business was a family affair, which included his sons and brother Jesse. The latter lived at Mill House until his death in 1912 aged 62. Three years earlier when King Edward VII visited Knowsley Hall to inspect detachments of the Territorial Army, Lord Derby had ordered a tent from the Copes to accommodate a shooting party. Another celebrated customer was Lord Gerard who hired their marquees at Garswood Hall.
a) Tom Sayers; b) Daily Mirror September 18th 1929; c) How Mill House in Mill Brow looks today
William Cope died at Mill House in 1933 aged 88, and his wife Charlotte died six years later aged 89. The family enterprise was continued by their sons until its closure in 1967. By the time of Charlotte's death in 1939, work had at least begun on remodelling Mill House. Its orientation was reversed and bay windows and parquetry floors were added and a large sandstone cellar filled in.
William and Charlotte's daughter Clara Cope took over Mill House. She married Frank J. Houghton, the headmaster at Parr Mount School, and the couple lived in the property until the 1950s. During this period further refinement of the frontage of the old house took place. Now looking smaller and minus a defining chimney stack, it takes some studying of old photographs to discern it as the historic Mill House - the miller's house of Sutton Leach.

I'm pale and this works wonders. No need to worry about overdoing, no matter how much I apply, I always end up having a super natural, healthy glow. I love this blush! It's way to subtle for the evening, but it's the perfect day blush for us pale-a55es.

This is in a simple cardboard box packaging but I really don't mind it. The blush is super soft and gives you a dolly look. The color is not a very pigmented pink and I find that it disappears early on throughout the day. It nice to put on when you're going for a more natural look but doesn't seem to do wonders for my light asian skin. Not sure if I would repurchase just because of the color. Otherwise it is a really nice blush.

I recently bought this powder blush at Ulta on impulse. I agree with the other reviews that talk about the subtle pink color this gives. I like it for days when I want a no-makeup makeup look. What I've also been using it for is buffing over my other pink blushes. Especially if I've applied a little too much blush. (Which I do on occasion. I tend to overdo the blush and have to be careful.) I use my kabuki brush to buff out the blush and apply a little of this blush over it. It smooths things out nicely. I'm happy I found an additional use for this since I now reach for it more often. I'm not sure these blushes by Benefit are worth the price, but the packaging is adorable. The other one I own is Bella Bamba. The two look nice combined. I will happily use up this blush but would probably not repurchase. So many beautiful blushes I have my eye on.

I like this product, I would say it's worth my money and it has lasted me a while. The color is simply pink and pretty, and when applied it looks as if you're naturally flushing. Very pretty. Although, it's not exactly a favorite and I find myself grabbing other blushes instead of this blush. I would not repurchase this, but I'll continue to buy Benefit blushes in the future!

I LOVE this blush. I have fair to medium skin (I get pretty tan in the summer) and in the months when I'm pale this blush gives me a nice natural pink flush. It doesn't show up very well when I'm tan, but I don't wear blush in the summer months anyways. It also has a lovely smell. Very light and kinda foral. The packaging is a little deceiving, since half the box is just the brush it comes with. Either way, I'd recommend this product to people with fair skin.

I got this as a gift with a mag. I had to use more of the product to show up on my skin (nc37). Its dusty pink mauve on me. It made me look dirty faced. It didnt do anything to flatter me. I looked soooo washed out. Didnt like it and eventually gave it away. Glad it was a free gift! Phew!!

I'm very fair and it's hard to find blush that can lend my skin a soft natural glow without turning me into a barbie doll. Looking into the cute little box, Dandelion comes off as the sweetest baby pink blush I have ever seen! Worn on it's own, it gives my cheeks a beautiful soft pink glow. But I love it most for layering, especially over blushes that can make my fair skin look muddy. It's really good for fixing mistakes and adding a bit more depth!

My first Benefit blush was Coralista and, having tried that first (and loved it!), then trying the Dandelion, I'll admit I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I'd be. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful shade and it does look good on my skin. It's matte and has a slight shimmer which is very pretty and English rose-y.
The issue I have is that I have to apply quite a bit for the blush to be noticeable. When applying Coralista, I barely had to apply any product and I was happy and good to go. Dandelion, however, doesn't make that much of a statement for me and I apply a lot more than I usually would just to be able to notice it. This is fine, but at almost £25, I'm not sure if it's worth it.
I'm fair skinned with dark hair and I think the Coralista suited my skin tone more. Dandelion is very natural and pretty, just maybe not for me. I think I would buy again, but not if Coralista is in stock too :)

Besides, look at the MCU, all of the characters got "origin movies" before the team movie to establish them.

Some would feel that way, but I doubt the rank and file of general-audience moviegoers who are the primary target here would know the difference or care. I mean, when

that it had anything to do with Superman. We genre fans are too prone to forget that most people aren't as genre-savvy as we are.
Besides, whether or not you "need" origin movies for these characters or not is beside the point. Aquaman and Wonder Woman are strong characters who DESERVE their own movie.
Of course they are. I just don't agree with the assumption that those movies
to come before a JL movie. Marvel's already done it that way; if DC just copies it, it'll seem like a copy. Let's at least keep our minds open to the possibility of a different approach.

Does It Get Better???

Re: Does It Get Better???
Vaginal depth is not a static. Any measurement would vary depending on time of the month, arousal etc.. the cervix doesn't just sit there like your toes. It moves, retracts etc.. I have never heard of any woman measuring such a thing. Also as far as sex goes position will effect depth.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way I want to talk about how after generations there are Vidiians who will view all that body part swapping as their culture. Once they are cured there will be underground groups still doing the swapping with each other. Mutual body modification. That's the gentle side of the post-cure Vidiian cultural luddites, there will also be organized crime syndicates where they steal and pirate parts against people's will.
It will be illegal in Vidiian society to exchange body parts but the underground will get around this by keeping themselves covered up and only exchanging non-visible parts. They will shun doctors and any social choices that might involve exposure.

I use "very black, waterproof" since I started to use mascara during my teenage days. I have tried using other brands but eventually I will switch back to Maybelline volume express. The brush is very easy to use and wouldn't cause my eyelashes to stick together. I will still need to use a curler but I am alright with that. It is use durable, yet the look is very natural. Also, the price is affordable for a student like me.

This one so far is the worst since after 5 mins I look like a racoon. And it's pretty cheap so I wasn't sad that I lost money, the packaging is nearly the same as others, i wouldn't buy it again since there are far better.

I find this mascara to be too drying. I personally prefer a wetter type of mascaras. This holds the curls and have superb waterproof quality. You do have to use a waterproof eye makeup remover to remove this thing. It's an ok mascara but there are better ones out there.

I've been a great fan of Maybelline mascaras, with the Magnum being my favorite. I bought this mascara because it was on sale at the time, and the package said it curls the eyelashes without having to use an eyelash curler beforehand. NOT TRUE!! The first time I used this, I went without the curler. Rather than curling my eyelashes, it made them straight and flat, like I have a bunch of needles for upper and lower eyelashes. It looked so terrible I made to remove them, use a curler, and reapply.
If used with an eyelash curler, then I would say this product is no different from the Magnum. Personally, I would even that, while Hypercurl does curl your eyelashes very nicely, the effect does not last long. I applied at around 7:30 in the morning. By noon, the curliness has disappeared, making my eyes look tired and droopy. So, the verdict? The product itself is tolerable, but given the fact it failed to deliver what was promised on the package, I'm going to stick with the Magnum.

This is one of the best mascaras I have ever used. It is affordable, long lasting, made with high quality, available at many stores and quite waterproof. It brightens my eyes even with only one coat as it lengthens my lashes and gives me more volumes. The blackest black shade may not be as dark as I desired but I am fine with it. I have one now in my cosmetic bag which comes in blackest brown. I chose this shade because I wanna achieve natural yet glamour look. It stays on my lashes from day to the moment before I removed the make up. It did fall a little bit when my eyelids got oily in the afternoon but it doesn't bother much because it is not noticeable unless someone gets very close to my face. The packaging is quite nice and I love it. The price is affordable, only about RM30 which lasts me about 3 months if I applied it often.

My fave mascara for 3 years now, and am now on my 5th I think. I use this everytime I need to go out, even with very light makeup.
I do curl my lashes before using this.
- curled wand really makes application easy
- does make my asian lashes look thicker and longer
- cheap!!
- although it's name is "hypercurl" - it does nothing to curl your lashes. I needed to curl my lashes first before applying mascara.
- product starts to thicken (in the tube) after a few months, where you get tiny tiny clumps on your lashes. But you can easily remediate this by gently running a cotton swab across the lashes and it picks up the clumps and voila!
I'm a loyal client to this product. I've just bought Covergirl Lash perfect mascara as I've been good reviews. But in case I don't find CG up to par, I'll definitely go back to my trusty MB hypercurl mascara

Oklahoma State women's basketball: Cowgirls fail to handle adversity, lack execution
Those miscues at the end of the first half overshadowed that the Cowgirls had led for the first 15-plus minutes of the contest, despite leading scorer Toni Young sitting all but three minutes with two fouls, Bias' shooting troubles and Liz Donohoe's struggles to get free for open jumpers.
And it made a 31-28 halftime deficit feel like a lot more.
"We just kind of came into halftime looking like we were getting killed," OSU guard Brittney Martin said, "and, really, we weren't down by that many points. We needed to come back and play our game, and we didn't."
Conversely, OU (18-5, 8-3) found its stroke in the second half, drilling six of its nine three-point attempts and outscoring the Cowgirls by 16 points en route to the easy victory.
"They played with great energy and enthusiasm," Littell said of OU. "There's a lot of kids that experienced a lot of success within their program, and I think their leadership showed.
"They kind of saw that we were on a (tough) run, and they took it to us."
