The Mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral decisions throughout their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
August Roundtable will be our annual Membership/recruitment training. One person from each pack is required to attend.
Roundtable is a monthly meeting that occurs on the 1st Thursday of the month. We meet at 6490 Quail Street in Arvada, Colorado. This meeting has general information, updates and news items along with Cub Scout and Boy Scout specific breakouts. We start roundtable promptly at 7:00pm and are typically done by 8:30pm. The roundtable staff looks forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
Click HERE to access what requirements were earned at our twilight camp.
Roster checks are a vital part of Scouting and we request that you turn them in twice a year, once in May/June and once in Nov/Dec. The May/June roster check process helps ensure that as youth participate in your Scouting Unit's Summer Activities, that they are registered in Scouting and covered under the BSA Insurance. It also ensures that youth are given credit for the advancements and accomplishments that they work towards over the summer.
Names on a roster should be youth that are currently participating in Scouting in your unit, including youth that may be taking a season off, but feel they are a Scout. This should include any Kindergartners that are turning into Tiger Cubs in June and are planning on participating in summer scout activities. This should also include any Webelos Cross-Overs to your Troop.
If you would like assistance or have any questions in regards to turning in your roster, feel free to reply back to this email or reach out to James, Tobin or a commissioner.
Don't forget to keep track of all the nights your unit spends camping. Not only is camping one of the best, if not the best, parts of scouting it also counts towards your unit's JTE score. In addition you and the Scouts in your unit(s) can earn one of many really cool National Outdoor Summer Time Awards.
Learn more about summer camps here.
Please feel free to reach out to our district camping chair, Dick Williams, with questions or to report your camping numbers.

Kanella Gift Chocolates
April 9, 2009 | 1 Comment
Designed by Kanella | Country: Greece
"This is a corporate gift, designed to wish clients a Happy and Sweet 2009. It is a box with a set of 12 chocolates, after the 12 months of the year, each with a different illustration that incorporates an element characteristic of the month (like a rose for Valentine's Day in February). It works as a calendar… and the chocolate has to be eaten at the end of each month.
The illustrations are designed with dots, just like the corporate identity of Kanella studio is. At the back of each chocolate pack one can see the days of the month and details about the illustration (like botanical information about roses). Metal White 120 gr. paper was used for the box and the chocolates wrapping. The black sealing wax with the monogram makes the whole pack more prestigious."

Toronto FC Ticket Package
April 8, 2009 | 2 Comments
Designed by TAXI | Country: Canada
"For the second year in a row, TAXI was tasked to design Toronto FC's season ticket package. While doing our research into the average TFC fan, we found that many season ticket holders print their tickets for each game off on their laser printer. By doing this, the fan can keep their season ticket package in mint condition. We even saw many examples of fans that had their season tickets framed on Flickr. With this in mind, we designed the tickets so that they could also double as a keep sake poster. The tickets could easily be framed intact or pulled apart. Inside the ticket package, each fan received a coupon from a local framing company if they were so inclined."

Thank you so much for posting the photo and obituary of my cousin Jimmy! We were childhood friends, but lost contact as adults. I was surprised to learn that he died so young, and wonder whether you knew him?

I guess I was wrong about the death certificate. I just checked, and adding one is not against Find A Grave guidelines. I would appreciate it if you changed the photo order though to show the image of her grave on her memorial page.
Best regards,

Her grave must be close to my Neville relatives who are also buried at Forest Lawn. I likely photographed her grave when I was there to photograph some of my family members.
I should have changed the photo order on her memorial before I transferred it to you. Would you mind doing this? On her page the images of her you added should be there along with the image of her gravestone. The scan of her death certificate should not be showing. I believe that image is against Find A Grave guidelines anyway, and should be removed.
Best regards,

RE: Jacob Meck @ Mylin-Rohrer Cemetery
Hi, no problem on the headstone. Glad I could bless you with that photo. I was up there taking photos for someone else, and came home and was researching cemeteries and found out about this site and noticed that I had taken a couple of photos that people were looking for.
I may be going back down there again (live about 15 miles away) if there is anything else that you are looking for. I added a photo of the cemetery, pending approval.

Lancelot of the Lake (Lancelot Du Lac)
|No Rating
|Release Date:
|January 1, 1974
|Running time:
|83 minutes
|Luc Simon, Laura Duke Condominas, Vladimir Antolek-Oresek, Humbert Balsan, Patrick Bernhard
|Robert Bresson
|Alfredo Bini, Jean-Pierre Rassam
|Robert Bresson
Description: As with his earlier Trial of Joan of Arc, French-filmmaker Robert Bresson effectively casts unknowns in his interpretation of the Knights of the Round Table saga. Breaking with the standard romantic spin on this legend, Bresson offers us a selfish, ruthless Lancelot, no better than the other grubby nobles who seek but fail to find the Holy Grail. Returning from his futile mission, Lancelot callously renews his affair with King Arthur's Guenevere, who likewise is depicted in less than sympathetic terms. Expectedly, the dream of Camelot is dashed to bits; Bresson argues that Camelot was never any more than a dream--or rather, a delusion. The mudcaked cinematography of Pasqualino de Santis adds to the iconoclastic flavor of Lancelot of the Lake.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Here x and y range over the nonnegative integers. I was wondering how to show that if n is a odd integer which has a unique representation in that form, then n is prime.
Prove that a positive odd integer $N>1$ has a unique representation in the form $N=x^2-y^2$ iff N is prime
HINT $\ $ Nonuniquness is an immediate consequence of the following composition law
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ (a^2-b^2)\ (A^2-B^2)\ =\ (a\:A+b\:B)^2-(a\:B+A\:b)^2$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ \phantom{(a^2-b^2)\ (A^2-B^2)}\ =\ (a\:A-b\:B)^2-(a\:B-A\:b)^2$
E.g. composing $\rm\ 7 = 4^2 - 3^2\ $ with $\ 11 = 6^2 - 5^2\ $ yields for $\rm\: 7\cdot 11\:$ the following $2$ rep's
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ (4^2-3^2)\ (6^2-5^2)\ =\ (4\cdot 6+3\cdot 5)^2-(4\cdot 5+6\cdot 3)^2\ =\ 39^2 - 38^2$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ \phantom{(4^2-3^2)\ (6^2-5^2)}\ =\ (4\cdot 6-3\cdot 5)^2-(4\cdot 5-6\cdot 3)^2\ =\ 9^2 - 2^2$
Hint: Factor $x^2-y^2$ as the product of two polynomials.
Hint: Let $n$ be an odd composite (positive) integer. Then there exist (odd) integers $a \gt 1$, $b \gt 1$ such that $n=ab$. Use this factorization to produce a solution of the equation $x^2-y^2=n$ in non-negative integers other than $x=\frac{n+1}{2}$, $y=\frac{n-1}{2}$.
Added: Without loss of generality we may assume that $a \ge b$. Then we can take $$x=\frac{a+b}{2}, \qquad y=\frac{a-b}{2}.$$

MUNCIE, Ind. - On September 14, First Merchants Bank's Muncie Region was a sponsor of Walk Indiana.
PLAINFIELD, Ind. - Want to run on the dragstrip at Lucas Oil Raceway?
INDIANAPOLIS - As of Oct. 1, the federal government has shut down for an indeterminate period of time, and consumers may have concerns about access to their money and other banking services. The Indiana Bankers Association, of which First Merchants Bank and its divisions are members, would like to offer some assurances:
MUNCIE, Ind. - Be aware that criminals have been making phone calls to customers and non-customers claiming to be First Merchants Bank regarding their FMB Debit Card. The caller, which may be a computer automated call, identifies themselves as a representative of First Merchants Bank and is calling to tell the customer that there is an issue with their debit card and proceeds to ask for the debit card number and expiration date.
MUNCIE, Ind. - Chad Shelly, Banking Center Manager at First Merchants' Madison Street location, was recently awarded the Citizenship Award from the City of Muncie. The city betowed the award for Shelly's work with Interlock and the East Central Indiana autism community.
DECATUR, Ind. - First Merchants Bank recently donated $500 toward the renovation and 100-year rededication of the Adams County Peace Monument.
DECATUR, Ind. - First Merchants Bank recently awarded a $1,000 college scholarship to Adams Central High School graduate Kristin Broderick. Kristin will be a freshman at Ball State University this fall, studying accounting and business.
There are reports of fraudulent phone calls being placed by criminals purporting to be from the Social Security Office. The criminals have some information (i.e. name, account number) to make the calls sound legitimate but are requesting verification in regards to the customer's financial institution in order to send the card out in the mail.
This would not be normal practice of the Social Security Office or a financial institution.
MUNCIE, Ind. - Throughout the month of July, all Delaware County Banking Centers and the Data Center were collection locations for the Hearts and Hands United 7th Annual Tools for School supply drive.

After a restful 10 hour flight from Dallas, we spot the Andes in route to Santiago
We spent a day touring around Santiago.
Santiago Marketplace
The biggest corn I've ever seen
of course I couldn't resist photographing the chocolate
sidewalk art
colorful buildings
Presidential Palace
English translations on the menu were quite interesting - I stayed away from the 'Beaked Meat'...
View of the city from Cerro San Cristoball
The next morning we flew to Punta Arenas. Airport security signs in Santiago
and a bin for you to donate your knives, razors, and other sharp metal objects!
Punta Arenas means "sandy point" after its sandy soil and rocky beaches. A swim however is not recommended with an average water temperature of 5 degrees C.
It is a windy city especially in the summer with winds up to 120 km/h
Cartoon shaped trees lined the street of Cristobol Colon in Punta Arenas
Flowers were in full bloom
Punta Arenas has a human population of 120,000 and a stray dog population as high as 15,000. This one took a liking to Keith and followed us around for 2 days
View of our hostel from inside a restaurant across the street
The next morning we boarded a zodiac en route to Isla Madgalena
Every year in mid-September, 120,000 penguins pop out of the cold water from the Straight of Magellan onto this Island
Only males arrive at the beginning, but it doesn't take long for the females to join the males and start finding their sole mates for the sole purpose of reproduction.
They then stay all summer until their chicks (right) are big enough to join their parents at the end of March on their long jouney north.
This penguin seemed awfully focused on dragging this sea weed onto the island
Clare and Keith with the penguins
I wanted to pet the penguin, but didn't
After about an hour, we loaded the zodiac boat across the Straight of Magellan to Isla Marta
The island is home to about 1,000 sea lions,
who consider Isla Magdalena...
their special penguin restaurant.
Although they claim to be an adventurous but safe alternative to the ferry, winds picked up on the way back to the mainland and we had a ride of our lives!
Later that day, we boarded a bus to Puerto Notales
Puerto Notales is a city in Chilean Patagonia, located 247 KM northwest of Punta Arenas and is the primary transit point fro travelers to Torres del Paine.
Our hostel
Next day, we took a 3 hour bus ride to the start of our Torres Del Paine Backpack.
skies and views on the way to Torres Del Paine were spectacular
This amazing rainbow appeared and stretched along the entire western sky!
Fortunately my camera takes pretty good pictures through the bus window
Can you believe this?
The craggy mountains of Torres del Paine present an astonishing sight even when viewed from far off on the park's southeastern approach road
We arrived at 11 am and began our 20 Km trek to Campamento Seron
Until the declaration of the national park in 1959, a large portion of the Torres del Paine area was grazed by cattle and sheep.
The uniqueness of the area was fully recognized in 1978, when Torres del Paine was declared an international biosphere reserve by Unesco
Most of the day we passed through the Pre-Andean Xerophytic Scrub
A community located on slopes and in barren rocky areas, highly exposed to the wind.
Michele happy to discover all the backpacking to work training in December paid off!
A fire a few years back had killed many of the trees
We couldn't resist a little rest amongst the daisies
My Montrail boots which earned their price on this trip!
Ulla and Clare posing by our tents at Campamento Seron
Day 2 began with a scenic hike towards Rio Paine
Laguna Alejandra
As we gained elevation, we entered the Pre-Andean Mesophytic Scrub Habitat, with annual precipitations higher than 700 mm per year!
Skies cleared and views of Lago Paine and the impressive arc of jagged peaks along the Chile-Argentina frontier was spectacular
Michele discovered the panaramic feature on her camera!
We followed the path west-southwest through stands of nirres and open grassland dotted with wild daiseys.
we continued a traversing descent high above Lago Paine, rising and dipping as we headed towards the glacier-crowned summit of Cerro Paine Chico
Magnificent views of Cerro Trono Blanco in the Cordillera Paine
View of Lago Dickson and the Refugio Dickson, a welcomed site after hiking 40 Km during our first 2 days
The wind was blowing so hard outside I though the hut would crumble
Clare enjoying a good book
Since we only had to hike 9 Km on day 3, we waited until 2pm to begin our hike toward Campamento Los Perros.
Lago Dickson was expansive
I told Keith not to eat the red berries
Day three took us through the Nothofagus Forest
the path undulates through stands of coigue de Magallanes
Break time
The trail followed the steep embankments of Rio de los Perros (River of the dogs),named after a herder's dogs which supposedley drowned in the fast-flowing waters.
Glaciar los Perros!
We headed up through regenerating glacial debris, then climbed the end-moraine that dams Laguna de los Perros
a small glacier calves directly into the lake, and blocks of ice float in its frigid waters
the route follows the top of the moraine wall before leading off right across river flats to arrive at...
Campamento Los Perros!
This Andescape-operated camping ground issituated in the forest near the confluence of the valley's two uppermost stream branches.
Nothing tasted better than the soup that night!
Rocks proved to be a useful wind shield
Happy Michele!
It was New Year's Eve and we weren't inspired to stay up for midnight so we celebrated the German New Year at 8pm.
Day 4 started along a very wet trail with beautiful streams with bank side flowers. The Waterfall Plant has deep-red flowers that are shaped like clarinets.
Once we hit tree line, the vegetation changed to sparse alpine grasses.
The route ascended more steeply, climbing over barren rock slopes.
To the north, a small crevassed glacier, which is the source of the valley's uppermost stream, descends from Cerro Amistad
Looking back, we could see the back down the valley towards Lago Paine.
2,500 feet elevation gain and 6 Km later, we reached Paso John Garner, the highest and windiest point on the Circuit.
This is called the Andean desert
The wind was wiping but I had to photograph the beautiful plants that live in this harsh environment
Shortly after crossing the pass, we had our first views of Glacier Grey
and the Patagonian Ice Field
Its enormous fractured mass of ice choked the valley ahead,
hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
The trail was quite eroded in placed but we were certainly thankful for all the trail infrastructure
A recent storm caused quite a bit of tree damage
Forests of lenga cover the moister interior areas of the park. These trunks often take on a bow-like form, perhaps caused by the downward force of the heavy winter snows
Throughout the trek we came across this strange fungus
Known as Pan de Indio or Darwin's Fungus, it is a parasitic plant that causes the tree to form knots which are used by the local artisans to make souvenirs.
The fungus was an important part of the Yaghan diet, a native people of the Island of Tierra del Fuego.
Today pan de indio is still used in salads and to make jams
As we approached Campamento Paso, we enjoyed the wonderful views of Glacier Grey
Campamento Pasa had a few bugs and Clare got to use her bug net
Sunset over Glacier Grey
Day 5 continued through the forest. We found this lone teddy bear guarding the trail
Along much of this section fires have killed most of the young trees
which had been slowly regenerating after the original forest was burnt out decades ago.
Lunch time - cheese and bread again!
cool bug hanging out by the trail
Checking the map to determine our location
At various times metal railings, fixed ropes and wooden ladders have been erected to help trekkers cross the heavily eroded ravines.
The route took an undulated course past Glacier Grey,
whose mighty snout forms the northern end of Lago Grey.
The unstable, 200m-thick wall of ice continually sends large blocks -
some as big as a house - plunging into the freezing waters.
Driven by the strong winds, these icebergs sail across the lake before stranding around the shoreline.
Soon after, we arrived at Refugio Grey
Michele holds a tiny piece of the glacier
Keith and Clare enjoying pre-dinner drinks
After dinner, Ulla and Keith went outside to admire the views
Later, when Clare and I caught up with them, we heard the news that Keith proposed to Ulla - and she said yes!
Day 6 involved a steady upward traverse via narrow glacial terraces.
Laguna Los Patos
Ulla refueling with water from the stream. Best water in the world.
The park has a microclimate favorable for plants. Numerous species of flowers are endemic.
The Porcelain Orchid is the largest of the species in the region.
Its name is derived from the green-veined flowers that look like cracked porcelain
Calceolaria Uniflora var. Darwinii, Scrophulariaceae Ojos de gato, Figwort Family
The names "Pocketbook Flower" & "Purse Flowers" are pretty much self-explanatory, as also the alternative name "Slipper Flower." Inside each puffy pocketbook is a dusting of red freckles not generally visible from the outside.
Adesmia lotoides, Leguminosae
Pea Family
Gavilea lutea, Orchidaceae
Orchid Family
Pernettya Mucronata
From Chile comes this astonishing, slender, upright tree to 20' tall & hardy down to 10 degrees. In late Spring to early Summer it becomes a solid mass of beautiful, fiery red, tubular flowers held in loose clusters. The deep green, lance shaped foliage is evergreen. A bountiful nectar producer so hummingbirds are constant visitors.
A well known fruit in Patagonia is the Calafate, an evergreen bush typical of the Andean shrubland.
Calafate, a type of barberry, is famous for the legend - Anyone who eats the Calafate berry will return to these lands
Its delicious deep blue berries are collected to make jam, liquor and ice cream. they are enjoyed by many birds, rodents and the Patagonian fox.
Later that day, we arrived at Paine Grande
Clare and I were very happy to be staying inside the refugio as it poured that afternoon
cushy dining quarters
energetic Chilean boys enjoyed smiling for the camera
They even have beer on tap!
Clare, Keith, and Ulla enjoying dinner
which consisted of more food than I could eat!
View of Lago Pehoe from the lodge
Day 7: at the beginning it looked like the weather would clear
Last views of Lago Pehoe - refugio on the right
Although most of the bridges were in good condition,..
There were a few tricky spots
Fortunately this stream crossing came equipped with a bridge.
Then the rains came...
After climbing steadily above Lago Nordenskjold, the track leveled out and passed alongside a compact cliff line.
The side trip into the valley between the Cuernos del Paine and Cerro Paine Grande would have been spectacular on a sunny day, but today it was socked in with clouds.
To the east was sunny so we kept hiking...
The southern part of the circuit was much busier than our first 4 days. Many hikers and even horses passed by.
beyond landscapes, the region's cowboys (called baqueanos in Chile) lend a certain air of romanticism.
Another group enjoying the view
The sun appears again!
We forged ahead and opted to hike 25 Km on Day 7 to reach the end of the circuit
The trail passed through a small valley, around a moraine,...
and across a grassy plain.
We crossed the Rio Ascensio suspension bridge towards...
Hosteria Las Torres! Since it was still raining, we opted to cook dinner inside
And then set up our tents for our final night
Day 8: our final backpacking breakfast.
We spent about an hour walking around the hillside near the campsite
The daisies were spectacular
A rare species of daisy was found...
Later, we dawned our backpacks for the final 5 Km hike back to the start where we would catch the bus
Old fences are still visible in places, and a local estancia (large cattle or sheep property) still runs some cattle in a small part of the park.
At the eastern end of the Macizo Paine are three magnificent frost-polished 'towers' of granite, the Torres del Paine. Although they were hidden by clouds throughout much of our trip, the richness and splendor of the park will never be forgotten
"Watching guanacos and condors, the
reflections of snow-capped mountains in
a lake, dramatic fjords, the penguins —
all of Patagonia is our 'favorite part' of
this journey!"
- Gordon & Sarah Gould of Woodlands, California
The bird life in the park is abundant and diverse. Long-tailed Meadowlark
Southern Lapwing
Andean Condors are frequently sighted gliding effortlessly around the peaks. Identifiable in flight by their enormous size and distinctive splayed wing tips, these superb vultures nest in inaccessible cliffs on the eastern side of the park.
the narrowest car accessible bridge I have ever seen.
Back at the start, we rest while waiting for the bus
My Lady Jane Crocs were a welcomed site at the end of each day
A lone Guanaco seemed awfully friendly by the trail head
After a 3 hour bus ride, an unforgettable shower, and well needed laundry mat visit,
we celebrated with beverages and..
the best tasting pizza I have ever tasted.
After a restful night sleep, we gathered all of our belongings and left Puerto Notales
Our final bus ride back to Punta Arenas.
With 5 days remaining, we rented a car and began a 10 hour drive toward Ushuaia, Argentina
Although the land was uninhabited for much of the drive, the Sky was amazing
Numerus rheas (ostrich) grazed the fields
and Guancos
Every few minutes the sky would create a new portrait
It was as if a different sky scene was created beyond every curve
Abandoned Estancia between Punta Arenas and the Chilean Border
Admiring a lighthouse while waiting for a ferry to cross the Straight of Magellan
Eating a late lunch at the San Sebastian Boarder Crossing
Ushuaia wins the title "Southernmost City in the World" as it's located along the Beagle Channel at the southern end of the island of Tierra Del Fuego,
The name Ushuaia in the Yaman Indian language means "bay penetrating westward".
Poppies were in bloom!
And lupines were everywhere!
We stayed 3 nights in this really cute cabin on the outskirts of town
We were finally able to make real coffee!
The next day we visited Tierra del Fuego National Park.
It was created in 1960 and is located in the international border with Chile
It protects 63,000 hectares of the southermost tip of the Andes Range
We hiked a portion of the costera trail which follows the shoreline and travels through evergreen beech and winter's bark forests
Lunch is always a welcomed strop - mostly comprised of crackers and cheese
The cold temperate climate is wet and there is no dry season.
The average annal rainfall amounts to 700 mm
We were fortunate to have a perfectly sunny day
Chimango Caracara
Through geomorphological processes, the Andes Range developed into a group of montains
that enclose deep forested valleys, crossed by rivers and lakes
Keith and Clare walking along Acigami Lake
Later we drove to the very southwesterly end of Route 3 to Bahia Lapataia
Back in Ushuaia, we were fortunate to catch a beautiful sunset (at 10:00 p.m.)
The next day we visited Martial Glacier
Located 7 km northwest from Ushuaia, a chairlift took us to to the starting point of our hike
It was a fairly short hike but quite steep towards the end
This cute, stray dog latched onto us
And posed perfectly for the camera
alpine flowers
Another rare species of daisy...
Back in the city, Clare and I toured the local cemetery before dinner
Ushuaia is a cool place to sit and drink good beer in good pubs with good people
Our friend Reji suggested we eat at Maria Lola
The food was amazing!
The following day, we began our 10 hour drive back to Punta Arenas
The next day, we flew back to Santiago
The aerial view of the glaciers, volcanoes, and mountains were amazing!
erupting volcano
From the air..
It was clear why few places in the world...
have captivated the imagination of explorers and travelers like Patagonia
"What seduces so many people to Patagonia is the idea of the 'remote' -
Indeed, the very notion of traveling to the End of the World.
After all, on a globe, everywhere is both the center and the end of the earth at the same time.
And people do live here - very few people, but those who do are hardy survivors."
That evening, we flew back to Dallas in time to catch the sun rising in Texas
Due to a series of airplane maintenance issues, our flight was delayed long enough to barely catch the sunset over Boston Harbor Islands. But at least we didn't need to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River...

Dan, we get it. Having the "right" gender balance in your relationship does not make you good parents. Now will you please stop with the dead babies?
I'm not cheering for gay rights when I read this, I'm feeling sad for stupid parents, parents with stupid partners, and children of abusers.
Yes, I think we've sufficiently proven that there are criminal parents out there, despite their being a man and a woman.
It's probably also true that adoptive parents have less of these stories than biological parents, simply because they are not only planned, but extraordinary efforts have been made through the adoption process.
If only people knew how babies were made and used birth control. Many adults still don't understand this concept.
Keep 'em coming, Dan.
These posts will obviously come to an appropriate end when we are allowed to marry.
@1 and 2, these are important because those opposed to gay rights whine all the time that gay parenting is child abuse, while ignoring the actually child abuse at the hands of the much praised mommy and daddy.
@1&2: Don't you realize that for every comment against Dan posting these, there will be at least 1 telling him to keep doing it? Give it up already, he'll post what the hell he wants. Make your own blog for fuckssake.
Plus, everytime I read a story like this I wonder "Is Dan reading this story, and then seething with rage at his social injustice?"
Cause I am not denied any rights (except maybe the right to equal pay...), and it makes my blood boil that someone like Dan can't have equality. The fact that *if* I wanted kids they would be protected and yet there are people who already have them and they are treated so poorly due to some horrible "standard" of families sickens me.
These posts just point out how flawed that "standard" is; because it is cruel and stupid to keep people (and their kids) as second class citizens, just like the people who kill their kids are stupid and cruel.
while ignoring the actual child abuse? in all fairness, i don't think anyone is ignoring actual child abuse.
i think these posts are sensationalistic and use reasoning that i wouldn't recommend. that said, i understand perfectly why dan is posting them.
I just want to know, Dan. When does "Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father: Tales of Heroic Parenting from America's Heartland" hit the bookstores?
Soon, Grumpypants, soon...
! & 2--they makes him happy, let the guy have his fun...
and support him!!! (i should have added)
@ Monique
I have just as much right to this forum as you do. If I want my own blog, I'll get one, for fuckssake, thanks for your advice. For now I'll just post here. And I know Dan will do what he wants.
Further, as someone who IS subject to both your lack of rights to equal pay and Dan's lack of rights to marry, my opinion stands unmoved by your outrage.
Dead children are just sad. I don't care who's parenting them. Would you want a religious right org to hunt down and post a bunch of cases of gay child abuse? There's a smug joke implied here that I don't like at all, and it's at the expense of abused children. I don't care who their parents are.
I get it. I guess that I agree with Dan's point and now I'm getting a little antsy with him making the point over and over and over again. I forget that some people need to hear it again and again to get it.
I'm with #11. This is boring and pointless, not to mention a bit of a joke at the expense of the poor kids. And it is especially boring and pointles ON THIS BLOG, where you are preaching to the pro-gay marriage choir.
If you think this point is worth making, Dan, then pussy the fuck up and write a fucking editorial for the Seattle Times, or the Seattle PI, or even - gasp - a paper or magazine with national reach, like the New York Times or Washington Post or Newsweek or Time or fucking wherever.
But here? Boring. Predictable. Not clever. And making the same point over and over to an audience who is already with you.
I dunno, I kinda like reading about dead babies. Or, more accurately, the stupid fucktards that accidentally kill their babies. I like it for the same reason I like Dan's advice column: so I can laugh at the fucktards (or kinky freeks, at the case may be) and feel better about myself. What's the problem?
@11: Its sad that kids die in horrible ways, but it happens everyday all the time. I don't see how it's a joke when dan posts it and I don't think its at the dead childs expense. It's taking stories that are reported, and pointing out a hypocrisy that exists in our culture. That is not a joke, and its not abusing the dead child further.
Just like if people wanted to point out the hypocrisy of cultures that make women by making them wear lots of clothes to 'keep men from objectifying them', but then beat/rape/and subjegate them. Like "Every woman needs to wear a burka..."
And I may not wear a burka, but I do have outrage about those that are forced to wear it (or anything similar). And, not that you need it, I am sorry you don't have equal rights.
If I knew that the same woman who killed her kid in Lake Stevens also said something negative about gay parenting the day before the little boy died, I might see your burka point. But as far as I know, she was just a dumb kid, not a dumb homophobic kid.
The joke goes like this: "And they say I'm a bad parent... I'll show you some bad parenting." Then #14 laughs at the fucktards, and the baby is still dead. Boy is that funny. I feel so much closer to equality now. Someone get me a civil union.
Raising awareness is important. Whether you agree with Dan's reasons for posting or not he makes visible tradgedies that would otherwise go unacknowledged.
Personally, I'm all for pointing out that good parenting isn't related to sexual preference.
Just last week I read about Michael Savage calling gay parenting child abuse. I read about it here on Slog. This is the link:
When people like Michael Savage stop saying things like this then Dan will probably stop putting up posts like this. I hope the people yelling at Dan about this post are also sending angry notes to Michael Savage.
Is this infant's relatively brief period of suffering, which it was not even capable of understanding, really worse than allowing it to be raised to adulthood by this abusive moron? A minute or so, versus a lifetime, perpetuated no doubt through further generations every 20 years to infinity?
It was fascinating (and totally sad) to read this story after witnessing a young mother doing the SAME THING with her infant at the local planned parenthood where i am employed. When our clinician told the lady that taping a pacifier in her child's mouth was very dangerous, and also likely to have harmful effects on his speech development among other things, she shrugged and said "I've been doing this since he was two months old, he's fine." She unfortunately visited our clinic too late.....let's hope she took the fucking birth control we gave her!
And back to the thread, I say keep posting Dan. I'm so fucking sick of hearing people's moral outrage about gay parents, abortion, gay marriage, birth control, etc etc. Where's the moral outrage over the stupid, lazy and completely inept cunt of a mother who tapes a pacifier in her child's mouth because she's too preoccupied to actually care for the child she probably didn't plan to have in the first place?
Raising awareness? Like Fox News raises awareness, maybe.
Good parenting? There's not a shread of good parenting mentioned, only bad. And let's apply some logic here: just because some straight people are bad parents does not mean that all gay people are good parents. (And this statement does not in any way imply -- more logic -- that some or all gay people are bad parents.)
Like I said at the beginning, we get it. Some people who have male/female parenting situations practice real child abuse.
The only thing potentially more masturbatory than telling Dan Savage what to post would be telling Michael Savage what to say on his radio show. But I'll call in and see how far I get. Maybe Dan would get further. (He could pretend to be a relative.) Have you advised him to address his commentary in that direction?
I agree with bitch on heels. I think she needs to come have happy hour with me. ;)

Rag & Bone jeans
Cameron Diaz in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Heathway
We usually see her coming from the gym, but it looks like Cameron Diaz squeezed some shopping into her day before heading off with her friends.
We've seen Cameron in her Rag & Bone Dre jeans in Wells quite frequently, but this time she wore a pair of the skinny jeans in Heathway with a slouchy sweater and a pair of boots. Cameron's style is very relaxed and she doesn't stray too much from her usual looks, but I'd love to see her wear something edgier like a pair of the brand's leather pants. You can buy Rag & Bone online from SSENSE.
Hilary Duff in Rag & Bone Cut Off Denim Shorts in Moss
Hilary Duff was spotted at Coachella over the past weekend in Indio, California. The actress/singer wore pair of Rag & Bone Cut Off Shorts in Moss with a green blazer and a pair of Marant boots.
I like this look here on Hilary. It still has the festival vibe because of the colors without taking it to the generic festival look. What do you readers think of it? You can click here to purchase these shorts from Rag & Bone for $154.

Weekend Going Out Look: Rag & Bone Rally Cargo Jeans in Blue
For my weekend going out look I decided to mix both casual and smarter pieces. I have been a fan of these Rag & Bone Rally Cargo Jeans in Blue since they first came out many months ago. They give me a casual and dress down vibe which is why I chose to pair them with this Wildfox Love Me sweater which fits quite loosely. I kept the colour scheme neutral by adding these Marc Jacobs Nude & Black Leather Pumps.
For the accessories, I chose a Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac in Lilac to add some colour, but not too much as it's spring and I wanted to have a pastel tone. I also went for a Pippa Small 18kt Gold Ring to add a little dazzle, a Dorothy Perkins Cross & Heart Split Ring for some edge and then finally a Saint Laurent Antiope Polished Gold Tone Cuff to liven up the wrist if you have the sleeves rolled up a little. I actually own the bag and the sweater and they are great pieces to pair with jeans!
Ashley Benson in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Rock W/Holes
Ashley Benson was spotted at the GUESS Hotel Pool Party for Coachella in Palm Springs, California. The actress wore her favorite Rag & Bone Skinny jeans in Rock W/Holes with some Chucks and a muscle t shirt. Ashley has really worn these jeans out at the knees. I have to say that I actually quite like them like this.
Coachella this year had to be one of my favorites. I do think the line-up wasn't the best, but the ones that I did see were just amazing. I still could not get over how amazing Day 2 was. That had to be my highlight of the weekend because of Phoenix, Hot Chip, Two Door Cinema, 2Chainz and Baauer. If you are attending Weekend 2, definitely check those shows out. You can click here to purchase these jeans from Shopbop for $198.

When I first heard about "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," I was unimpressed. After all, the entire plot was revealed in the title and time travel is a common cliché. Despite strong reviews and testimonial from friends, I dreaded watching it and procrastinated. When I finally did watch it, I was pleasantly surprised. After pondering this fact, I realized that I respected the quality of the direction and acting--the actual premise wasn't as important as I had previously determined.
I explain this because it defines what I like about anime over other media. Anime is a medium that can convey a wide variety of different themes and ideas. So instead of liking one theme or genre (say fantasy), I find myself respecting and admiring shows that are quality first (in terms of voice acting, animation, character development, direction, music, etc); the theme itself is less important.
10,355 total episodes
Well i hope you enjoy the site, I do have to say that the forums are very fun!
My dropped list is based on my preferences for the animation skills and have to do with some of the plots. :)
Hey! I was just wondering if you have checked out Anime Planets latest features. There is a whole new customized signature feature!!!!!
Great anime list by the way! :)
yeah i figured you've seen like 10 x the anime i have, you still trumph me in otaku level rating. I'll catch you someday.... xD

Venom of the Red Lotus
this wiki
"Now! Destroy the Avatar!"
|"Venom of the Red Lotus"
|Episode guide
|Image gallery (35)
After succumbing to the poison, Korra enters the Avatar State and battles Zaheer, while Bolin and Mako duel Ghazan and Ming-Hua. The captive members of the Air Nation escape and band together to help Korra and defeat Zaheer, who they manage to recapture. However, the poison in her system forces Korra into a wheelchair and the young Avatar slips into a state of depression. Jinora is anointed as an airbending master by Tenzin, who also proclaims that the Air Nation will return to its nomadic roots and serve as the world's ambassadors for peace and balance.
In the Air Nomad caves near the Northern Air Temple, a captured Korra threatens to end the lives of the members of the Red Lotus after she escapes, prompting Zaheer to remind her that she cannot break free from her platinum restraints. He goes on to remark that once the Red Lotus administers a poison, Korra will inevitably enter the Avatar State in an effort to keep herself alive, at which point the Red Lotus would end her, ensuring that the Avatar Cycle will be broken. He reiterates the goals of the order and states that Korra's death will usher a new era of "true freedom", unaware that Jinora's spiritual projection is witnessing the events unfold nearby. Distraught, she returns to her body after Zaheer finishes his statements.
Back in the chamber in which the airbenders are imprisoned, Opal asks Jinora whether she found a means of escaping, to which the latter replies that they will find a way to free themselves soon. Daw worriedly remarks that Bumi and Kya may not make it for much longer, considering their extensive injuries. Ikki asks if Korra will come and save them, seeking reassurance from her older sister, who only states that they have to find a way out by themselves.
Back in Korra's cell chamber, Zaheer orders a member of the Red Lotus to administer the poison. Using metalbending, the earthbender applies the metallic solution to Korra's arms and legs before forcing the blobs to diffuse into the Avatar's body. Korra's eyes begin to glow instantly, prompting Ming-Hua to prepare her tendrils and Ghazan to form a pool of lava underneath Korra. The lavabender expresses confusion over why Korra continues to enter and exit the Avatar State, prompting Zaheer to remark that she cannot resist the mechanism for long.
Aboard Oogi, the members of Team Avatar follow Kai and Lefty in an attempt to find the missing airbenders as well as Korra. Kai eventually leads the group to a series of caves adorned by numerous statues of nomadic monks and nuns. Suyin reassures Tenzin and promises to find the missing airbenders, before heading into the cave along with the others to search.
Korra begins to hallucinate as the poison takes over her body, seeing Zaheer turn into Amon, who reminds her that the world no longer needs the Avatar. She also sees Ghazan transform into Unalaq, who reiterates Amon's point and urges Korra to surrender. Ming-Hua suddenly appears to transform into Vaatu, who taunts Korra by remarking how much stronger he is before urging the young Avatar to stop resisting.
Back in the chamber where the airbenders are held, Ikki and Meelo begin a chorus of complaints from the captives who begin demand for water. Frustrated, a sentry threatens to punish the airbenders in a similar fashion to Kya and Bumi until Pema pleads for refreshments, insisting that there are children among the captives as well as an infant. After convening with another guard, the man agrees and begins to hand over a water skin, before he is stunned by a gust of wind from Jinora. The blast causes the guard's keys to fly off, prompting Meelo to hand them to Opal using airbending. Opal immediately begins to work on her handcuffs but is discovered by one of the guards, who is promptly subdued by Lin Beifong. Soon after, Suyin blocks a series of earth projectiles from the other guard, who Asami promptly stuns with her electrified glove.
Relieved over seeing her daughter, Suyin rushes to hug Opal but is quickly pushed back by Bolin, who is also delighted to reunite with the airbender. After she is freed by Asami, Jinora rushes to hug Kai, whom she believed to have been killed by P'Li's combustion attack. Seeing Bumi and Kya's condition, Lin orders for their immediate evacuation. Tonraq instructs the group to exit the caves while he searches for Korra. Bolin and Mako volunteer to accompany him in his search, prompting Jinora to remark that they do not need to waste time as she is aware of the Avatar's whereabouts.
Unable to resist any longer, Korra finally enters the Avatar State, prompting Zaheer to order the other members of the Red Lotus to destroy her. Their attacks are rendered useless, however, as Korra easily deflects Ming-Hua's attack and stuns the waterbender by slamming her against a wall, before defending herself from Ghazan's lava wave with airbending. The Avatar breaks free from her restraints and pursues Zaheer, who lures Korra out of the caves. Alarmed, Tonraq sets off to assist his daughter while Bolin and Mako battle Ghazan and Ming-Hua.
After pursuing Zaheer, Korra unsuccessfully attempts to strike the airbender with a series of devastating earthbending attacks as Tenzin watches from a distance. The master's focus shifts temporarily as he reunites with his children and he expresses relief over seeing his family safe. Shortly after, Tonraq appears and urges the others to help Korra, who continues to battle Zaheer in the rock fields nearby.
Back in the caves, Ming-Hua defends herself from a series of Mako's firebending blasts and the two head deeper into the tunnels, while Bolin and Ghazan continue to battle each other with earthbending. Bolin exasperatedly asks his opponent why he is smiling, prompting Ghazan to respond by saying that he is simply recalling their previous battle, before conjuring a lava column and sending it toward Bolin. The latter remarks that a lot has changed since their previous meeting, before splitting the lava column in two and redirecting it back toward Ghazan. Realizing that Bolin is also a lavabender and used his abilities to get out of the temple, Ghazan compliments him and challenges him to show him "what [he] got".
Outside of the caves, Zaheer continues to dodge Korra's attacks by maneuvering through the air and eventually manages to strike Korra, who tumbles to the ground as a result. Enraged, the Avatar sends a massive boulder toward Zaheer and attacks him with a series of amplified water whips, one of which she uses to freeze Zaheer's leg. As the airbender falls, Korra propels herself toward him and prepares to strike, but she falls to the ground after the poison in her system continues to spread.
From the ground, Kai suggests going after Zaheer with Lefty but is immediately dismissed by Lin, who notes how powerful Zaheer is. Bumi inquires how Zaheer is able to fly, prompting Tenzin to regretfully respond by remarking that Zaheer managed to unlock an airbending ability which has not been seen for thousands of years. Inspired, Jinora also remarks that it has been a long time since a large number of airbenders have gathered in one place, stating that they have considerable power together. She leads the airbenders in a circle and begins to create a tornado, which expands as the other airbenders join in.
In the caves, Ming-Hua retreats deeper into the caves in an attempt to defend herself from Mako's attack but finds her foot caught on a protruding crystal, causing her to fall back and lose her water tendrils. Cornered, Mako urges the waterbender to give up, stating that it is over as she is out of water to use. Unwilling to surrender, Ming-Hua refuses and jumps into an underground pool of water, with Mako following suit. The waterbender creates eight tendrils to use in attacking Mako, but she is promptly electrocuted when he shoots a lightning blast at the pool.
Meanwhile, Ghazan begins to overwhelm Bolin, but the latter is saved when Mako arrives and assists his brother in a joint assault, forcing Ghazan back. Bolin urges the lavabender to surrender, but the latter remarks that he refuses to return to prison. Convinced that he is outnumbered, Ghazan turns the cave walls into lava, causing a cave-in from which Bolin and Mako immediately escape.
Back outside of the caves, Zaheer begins to suffocate Korra but finds himself dragged into a vortex of wind. Despite his efforts to fly out of the cyclone, Korra pulls Zaheer down and slams him to the ground, before collapsing from the effects of the poison. Lin and Suyin immediately trap Zaheer in a rock prison while Jinora and Tonraq tend to an unconscious Korra.
Zaheer laughs in triumph, stating that the Red Lotus has won. Jinora interjects, noting that since the poison is metallic, Suyin can use her metalbending to pull it out of Korra's body. The matriarch manages to drain the solution out of the Avatar's body and Korra regains her consciousness, much to everyone's relief and Zaheer's disappointment. As the Red Lotus leader begins to rant that the revolution has already begun and chaos is the natural order, Bolin silences him by stuffing a sock in his mouth.
Two weeks after the incident, the group gathers on Air Temple Island to celebrate Jinora's airbending mastery. In the women's dormitory, Asami prepares Korra for a formal appearance. Due to the poison and her battle with Zaheer, Korra requires the use of a wheelchair and has fallen into a state of depression. Asami reminds Korra that she needs time to heal from her injuries and assures the Avatar that she is always available whenever Korra needs her. She urges Korra to try and enjoy herself as a courtesy for Jinora and leads her to the courtyard, where she is welcomed by Lord Zuko, her parents, and Tenzin. President Raiko also officially welcomes the Avatar back to Republic City and thanks her for her efforts to defeat the Red Lotus, though Korra merely drops her head in sadness, as her efforts had come with a cost. With Lin's assistance, Korra heads to the temple with Ikki and Meelo.
After her departure, Raiko remarks that Korra is not looking well, to which Tonraq retorts that he would not either if he had gone through the same ordeal, prompting Tenzin to assure the others that she only needs time to properly heal. Raiko acknowledges that fact, though also emphasizes the increasing dangers posed by the rise of anarchy in the Earth Kingdom due to Queen Hou-Ting's assassination. Zuko agrees with the president, adding that even though Zaheer has been locked up again, the rest of the Red Lotus, numbers unknown, is still out there. Raiko concludes that the world needs its Avatar more than ever, expressing his concern over the lack of a figure to protect the people while Korra recovers, causing Tenzin to think about the entire situation.
Inside the temple, Tenzin announces Jinora and remarks that it is a historic occasion as the Air Nation welcomes the first airbending master in an entire generation. Tenzin recalls Jinora's unwavering hope in the face of adversity and Korra's involvement in saving the Air Nation itself. He urges the attendants to follow the Avatar's example of service and sacrifice, before announcing that the Air Nation would reclaim its nomadic roots and roam the world as ambassadors of balance and peace. He proceeds to anoint Jinora as an airbending master before revealing her tattoos. As the crowd applauds, Korra sheds a single tear.

Production notes
- Main article: Transcript:Venom of the Red Lotus
Series continuity
- While hallucinating, Korra sees visions of her previous opponents; Amon was the primary antagonist in Book One: Air, while Unalaq and Vaatu served as antagonists in Book Two: Spirits.
- During their battle, Ghazan recalls his previous duel with Bolin in "The Stakeout".
- Zaheer attempted to kill Korra with the same technique he used to kill Hou-Ting in "Long Live the Queen".
- President Raiko remarks that his last meeting with the Avatar did not "end on the best terms", referring to when he banished her from Republic City in "A Breath of Fresh Air".
- Lin's use of earthbending to lift a platform and scale a flight of stairs recalls a similar move her mother, Toph Beifong, used to scale the flights of stairs outside of the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace in "The Earth King".
- Tenzin decides to anoint Jinora as an airbending master, an action he began to consider following the events of "Original Airbenders".
- Korra's outfit at Jinora's airbending master ceremony is similar to the one she wore to the party Tarrlok held in her honor in "The Voice in the Night".
Character revelations
- Despite his initial reservations, Ryu eventually became part of the Air Nation.
- After being slammed to the ground, Zaheer's clothes are not damaged, though when Lin and Suyin imprison him, they are.
- When Meelo jumps on Korra's lap, the white part of her cap is colored the same as her hair, something that also occurs when Tenzin vows to Korra that the Air Nation will follow in her footsteps in order to bring harmony to the world. Similarly, when Lin comforts Korra, the cap is colored entirely white, without the tribal pattern.
- When showing an overview of the temple's stairs, there is a platform halfway up. However, when Lin bends a slab of earth to lift Korra's wheelchair, the platform is absent.
- Zaheer's line, "we lucky few, this band of brothers and sisters of anarchy," is an allusion to the line, "we happy few, we band of brothers," from the St. Crispin's Day Speech from William Shakespeare's Henry V.
- Korra's battle with Zaheer recalls several elements from the battle at Wulong Forest, such as the fact that both conflicts occurred in the Earth Kingdom in a field of rock columns, portions of which were used in offensive maneuvers. Additionally, both combatants in each fight were capable of flying by using airbending, like Aang and Zaheer, or firebending, like Ozai and Korra.
- Kya attempted to heal Korra after she was poisoned, though it was not really effective.[1]
- This is the 100th episode of the franchise.

A postmortem examination is under way on a body found in a
burnt-out car in a forest area between Taupo and Tokoroa.
Fire Services were called to Ohakuri about 9.45am yesterday
after receiving reports of smoke, fire spokeswoman Nicole
Bernard said.
When fire services arrived, a 4WD vehicle was fully ablaze
and a body was found at the scene.
Ms Bernard said the fire was not the result of a crash.
The scene examination was finished by police last night and
the body was removed.
"There is nothing at this stage that suggests that this death
is suspicious, however enquiries are ongoing and the post
mortem examination needs to be completed to provide us with
information about the cause of death," said Detective Senior
Sergeant Graham Perks.
"It may be some time before full results of that process are
Police said they believe they know the identity of the person
but won't comment further until it has been confirmed and the
family have been notified.
