I'm loving these WIHB interviews! :D
She has some great items in her bag. Love it.
I love her bag and this WIHB edition!
Love Shontelle! she sure represents all West Indian girls (like myself) well..her voice is incredible and her songs and songwriting skills are awesome! Thanks Purseblog for featuring a beautiful successful West Indian woman like Shontelle!
I love how knowledgeable she seems about her bags/accessories! I know that many celebrities love fashion, but they don't know much about the products they purchase.
Beautiful boots!
Love her ring
This is great! Love her bag and her eyes are absolutely mesmerizing. So nice to see some diversity here. Well done.
Those shoes are NICE.
Gorgeous pics of her Alma and goodies inside!
it's great to see this very classy formal looking bag matched with a very trendy casual look….I like the mix match it worked….

Love this! And her ring!
I really enjoyed Shontelle's feature (great questions!) and love her LV Alma!
I like her boots.
I don't think that I've ever heard of her music, but I love that I could read her interview. She certainly has style.
The pictures are amazing.
So many pretty pictures! I love seeing her things as well as shots of her filling out the questionnaire. Looks like she's having fun!
I preferred the Epi Alma before seeing these photos, but this has changed my mind! I don't know who she is, but she definitely has great taste. I LOVE that she isn't simply a walking reflection of some stylist's whim.
I am in love with that bag! Pretty pics too!
does she use a bag organizer? :)
I don't think so!
I have this bag but rarely see anyone else carrying it. Love to see it featured here as it is BEAUTIFUL!!
Great bag. I have the Alma in Epi Electric. Nice. I am happy for her success.
I love this segment and the images are awesome!
I love Alma…this color is a TDF. I love how she mixes with her rock style shoes!!
She's so beautiful and seems very down-to-earth.
She's so beautiful and seems very down-to-earth.
Love her and her bag! I need some more LV in my life!

Ok picked this up and watched it last night.
The plot was weaker than normal the props eh so so. The acting not very good.
All in all I have to say I really did not enjoy this movie very much.
I would suggest saving your money and renting the first 2001 manaics movie with robert england. This one just felt like they were trying to hard and it watched more like a twisted softcore movie you would see late night on cinemax.
I give this movie a score of 1 broken skull out of five.

DOVER -- Staples, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and teen actor Jake T. Austin are kicking off a national school supply drive across the country. The 6th annual Staples for Students National School Supply Drive will supply local students with the tools they need to be successful in school.
Beginning Sunday, August 11, teens can drop off supplies at their nearest Staples store through August 18, and Staples will put the supplies in the hands of local BGCA students. Staples customers can also continue to donate $1 or more at their local Staples store through September 28.
One hundred percent of the donations will benefit local students at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard NH Youth Center.
The local Staples stores to make a donation are located at:
-- 249 Indian Brook Parkway, Somersworth (Dover)
--125 Washington St., Rochester
-- 45 Gosling Rd., Newington
The company is kicked off the drive with a $125,000 donation in July and 100 percent of the overall proceeds will benefit members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Staples and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America will ensure that all of the donations get to the local Boys & Girls Clubs in time for the new school year. Since 2008, the campaign has raised nearly $3 million for hundreds of thousands of students in need throughout the country.

Cyclops lesions develop in the anterior aspect of the intercondylar notch typically after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction or injury. It is a lesion consisting of fibrous tissue with or without cartilage and bony components. A cyclops lesion is one of the causes for reduced extension and, in the cases reported here, also knee pain or discomfort after ACL reconstruction. We present the MRI features, particularly the features on proton density weighted turbo spin echo (PDW TSE) and proton density weighted turbo spin echo fat saturation (PDW TSE FS) sequences of four cases of cyclops lesions, and distinguish between the MRI findings of large and small lesions. We also describe a cyclops lesion after a posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, not described in literature before.
Keywords : Cyclops lesion; arthrofibrosis; ACL repair complication; PCL repair complication; motion loss; knee stiffness; post-operative knee pain.

BRASELTON, Ga. — Panoz LLC is going to begin producing street versions of its famous race cars.
Dominating the company's 10,000 square foot showroom and museum are reminders of the Panoz racing heritage – and now, clients can purchase street legal versions of any of these amazing cars.
"We will be producing all these cars, on a one-off customer basis, for the street," explained John A. Leverett, Panoz LLC Vice President of Sales. "If you want a Panoz GTR-1 for the street, we will produce one for you. If you want a Panoz roadster, we'll make one for you. Each car will have an all-new carbon/aluminum chassis, new powertrain, all new custom interior – but we won't do full run production. Customers will get to choose enough on the car to make it uniquely theirs.
"To have a car with the Panoz racing heritage, with all the bodywork and substance that regulations will allow on the street, will be a very distinctive experience."
In addition to the showroom and museum space is 20,000 square feet of production facility, housing all the components necessary to build each car in-house, including a paint shop, welding area and space for aftermarket tuning and restoration.
The driving force behind the project is Dr. Don Panoz, managing partner of DeltaWing Racing Cars, founder of the American Le Mans Series and owner of the nearby Chateau Élan Winery and Resort. Panoz looks forward to reintroducing the Panoz road car experience to clients looking for an incomparable motoring experience.
"It's a privilege to reintroduce the Panoz cars," said Panoz. "I think everyone will be surprised and interested when they come to see the museum, which we have dedicated to the history of Panoz cars. We look forward to working with those clients who want their personal vehicle — one that they actually build themselves — to be a Panoz."
Just as important to the Panoz family is the charitable aspect of the operation. The museum is available for local functions, with all proceeds from the facility rental to be donated to charity (Chestnut Mountain Ranch and Eagle Ranch for boys, and the Braselton library).
"It's a good community service," said Panoz. "Local car clubs, civic or school organizations can use the facility for their functions and all the proceeds will go to these organizations."

One of the impressive things about this Padre start is what they've been able to do without much offense. Coming into Tuesday's action, they had the third lowest wOBA in the National League, yet sported the league's best record. Naturally their somewhat (somewhat?) anemic offense has started calls for the team to pick up a bat.
Last January, the San Diego SABR chapter was pleased to have Merv Rettenmund speak at one of their semi-annual meetings. During that meeting, Rettenmund mentioned how Petco Park is very difficult to hit in during April/May, but that the ball "jumps" better once the summer starts. Since 81 games a year are played at Petco, the park should play a big role in the team's month-to-month wOBA numbers*. That, coupled with this year's team, got me thinking. Has the Padre offense improved when the weather warms up, and can the Padres rely on this improvement to give them the 'jump' of offense they need to contend this summer without acquiring another bat?
*Granted, the monthly numbers will be affected by the number of home/road games played in that particular month. I did not look at the schedules for each month when conducting this analysis.
Thanks to Fangraphs, I took a look at the Padre team wOBA, month by month, since Petco Park opened. I included Mar-May 2010 in the data set, and threw out the high and low value for each month. Here's a graph of the averages.
What I find interesting about this graph is, on average, the Padres struggle MORE to get on base once the summer starts (here summer is defined to start on Memorial Day. Nothing if not a traditional outlook at Padres Trail). The team wOBA is worse in June and July than it was in March/April, and May. Note the big jump in August, and that jump is consistent across seasons (and talent levels of teams).
This tells me, although the ball may travel better once June 1 rolls around, it doesn't start jumping until August 1, and the Padres will continue to struggle offensively through 2/3 of the summer. The team can't wait until August for an offensive boost. A lot can happen in 60 days, including the Padres sinking completely out of contention.
There are a couple of positions on the diamond (most glaringly, shortstop, Jerry Hairston Jr's 3 HRs in the last 8 games not withstanding) where the Padres would be better off with a better bat. I'm sure that Jed Hoyer's team, with their renewed emphasis on building a team that fits in Petco, has a list of candidates that could improve the team if on this roster. It's probably time to start seriously looking at those options.
This team will contend all season given their pitching and defense. It would be fantastic for their offense to get some help, and get them into the post-season.

Good stuff. The spike in August is interesting.
I wonder what it'd look like if we looked at all teams, and smoothed out the data a little bit. I can't believe that the August spike is all "real," but I've been wrong before!
Of course, with that said, we want our data specific to Petco. Interesting subject.- AnonymousJune 3, 2010 at 11:54 AM
The August spike shouldn't be that much of a surprise. That's when pitchers start dragging - they don't call 'em the 'dog days' for nothing.
I suspect the graph is similar for all teams. Then it's not a Padres phenomenon, but a regular stage of the baseball season.

Maria de Villota has revealed the terrifying extent of the damage to her carbon fibre helmet that saved her life during an horror Marussia test crash last year.
The 33-year-old Spaniard suffered serious skull, brain and facial injuries last July when she inexplicably lost control of the F1 car whilst straightline aerodynamic testing at Duxford airfield (UK).
Her head, now visibly scarred, struck the loading ramp of a truck, and today she wears an eye-patch to cover her right eye, which was irreparably damaged in the crash.
At a road-safety and spinal injury event in Madrid this week, de Villota revealed the $4,000 carbon-fibre Bell helmet she was wearing in the crash, which was cracked almost in half from underneath the visor to the rear-mountings for the HANS safety device.
A photo, published by Spanish newspaper El Pais, can be seen
"Until now only my family and friends have seen it (the helmet)," de Villota is quoted as saying, "but I think it's also important for others to see it as well."
Referring to the extent of the damage to the expensive, specialised F1 helmet, she added: "If this is what we have in formula one, imagine what would have happened if I had not been wearing anything."

FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/JPY is trading at 102.52, up 0.11% on the day, having posted a daily high at 102.63 and low at 102.11.
USD/JPY is reading slightly overbought conditions but Tim Riddell, Head of Global Markets Research at ANZ suggests the solid support found at 100.70-00 and a sound turn in daily momentum into June are providing USD with renewed upside potential, and this suggests that the 104.00-15 area should be retested relatively soon. "Interim resistance at 103.10 may confound the current bias for an early retest of 104.10-15, but a close below 101.85 is needed to force a continuation of the consolidation pattern (could even initiate another down-leg)". He further added a bullish statement to finish as we come to the closing hour, "Despite the remaining concerns over the consolidation pattern continuing, the recent rebounds are encouraging. As noted in the weekly slide, a close above 104.15 should trigger a retest of 105.50-60, with larger gains for H2 2014".
USD/JPY Levels
Spot is presently trading at 102.52, and next resistance can be seen at 102.63 (Daily High), 102.68 (Daily Classic R1), 102.73 (Monthly High), 102.73 (Weekly High) and 102.79 (Yesterday's High). Support below can be found at 102.52 (Weekly Classic R2), 102.51 (Daily Classic PP), 102.49 (Hourly 100 SMA), 102.45 (Hourly 20 EMA) and 102.41 (Daily Open).

Neil Young may have two new albums in the works, but he's also dealing with something close to his heart: the battle for fidelity. The singer has campaigned for higher quality recordings to be in wider circulation since the advent of the MP3 and streaming media, and it appears he is taking active steps to address that issue.
Rolling Stone reports that Young has applied for trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the following: "Ivanhoe," "21st Century Record Player," "Earth Storage," "Storage Shed," "Thanks for Listening" and "SQS (Studio Quality Sound)." A description accompanying the application reads as follows:
"Online and retail store services featuring music and artistic performances; high resolution music downloadable from the internet; high resolutions discs featuring music and video; audio and video recording storage and playback."
According to the Rolling Stone report, it might take a year of paperwork for Young to get the government to register his trademarks, which are likely to tie into a service he is hoping to pioneer named Pono. Pono will be "a revolutionary new audio music system presenting the highest digital resolution possible, the studio quality sound that artists and producers heard when they created their original recordings," according to a press release that heralded the news of Young's forthcoming memoir last year.

Over and over U.S. citizens are told," We have the best health care system in the world." That would be great if it were true but the facts, baldly stated, don't support the claim. Not only is it far and away the most expensive system, the U.S. spends half the world's health bill, it fails to produce outstanding outcomes. For example, in one basic index, all of us in this country die younger than we should. A really healthy society does not have the radical disparities in wealth and income the U.S., one hesitates to use the word, "enjoys." One in seven Americans are officially in poverty, the highest levels in decades. Evidence demonstrates that people in more egalitarian societies have healthier and happier lives.

The form that animal agriculture has taken in the last 50 years has greatly compounded environmental problems. Since that time, the size of the industry has increased dramatically, while the number of farmers in the industry has decreased. As Figure 1 clearly illustrates, animal agriculture has become increasingly consolidated in recent years. This trend toward concentration has compounded pollution problems associated with animal waste.
Because of the basic chemistry
behind energy transfers, animal agriculture requires
a great deal of plant matter to support it. In turn,
the production of this excessive plant matter requires
tremendous resources in the form of land, water,
and energy. Furthermore, the enormous size and concentration
of the animal industry has caused serious problems
regarding pollution and waste disposal. The large

According to the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA), over 66.9 million
acres of harvested cropland is dedicated to growing
fodder for the animals that people eventually use
for food (1999, p. 39 and 41). This number equals
roughly 22 percent of harvested cropland (16 percent
of all cropland) in the
It is difficult to determine exactly how much water is used in the animal agriculture industry. A U.S. Geological Survey study estimated that domestic animal operations consumed nearly two billion gallons of water per day in 1990. This figure, however, only represents water used at animal-raising and slaughtering facilities. It does not account for water required to grow the crops used to feed the animals.
Crops raised for animal feed occupied roughly 11 million irrigated acres in 1997 according to the USDA Agricultural Census (see Fig. 2 in Appendix A). Irrigation consumes a particularly large amount of water per acre for several reasons. A great deal of water is often lost in association with irrigation through evaporation from open storage areas (e.g. reservoirs) and open transport canals and aqueducts. Furthermore, irrigation is generally needed in arid regions that almost inevitably experience particularly high evaporation rates (see Fig. 3 in Appendix A). The remaining 55 million acres dedicated to growing animal feed do not consume nearly as much water as do the irrigated lands. Even on non-irrigated farms, however, a tremendous amount of water is still lost to the atmosphere through the evapotranspiration that is necessary for crops to grow. Although exact numbers on water use in animal agriculture are not available, it is clear that the industry uses large amounts of this resource. Again, only a fraction of the water currently used would be needed to support a purely vegetarian population.

The most commonly studied source of pollution from animal farms is not related to fossil fuels, but to organic matter, including manure, bedding, uneaten feed, and carcasses. In one study, Copeland estimates that animal agriculture in the United States produces 112 million tons of dry manure each year, making this the industry's most abundant waste product (2002, p. 187).

The EPA reports that roughly 99 percent of dairy operations distribute their waste overland, in an attempt to fortify the soil. They also note, however, that 36-61 percent of small (200-700 milking cows) dairies have insufficient land to absorb the nutrients of their manure, while 14 percent have no land at all. Fifty-one to sixty-eight percent of large facilities (>700 milking cows) have insufficient land, and 22 percent have no land (EPA 2002, p. 4-83). This discrepancy is sometimes remedied by distributing manure on another farmer's land, but nutrients from animal waste often far exceed regional needs. In 1998 Carpenter et al found that "nutrient flows to aquatic ecosystems are directly related to animal stocking densities, and under high livestock densities, manure production exceeds the needs of crops to which the manure is applied" (p. 559). In this case, nutrients become pollutants and can be toxic to living systems.
Lagoons are the most common depository
for waste throughout the animal industry. These
basins catch organic matter and allow it to decompose
aenerobically into harmless compounds. The reliability
of lagoons, however, has come under serious question
due to their frequent structural failures, and consequent
spills (Copeland 2002). Mallin et al studied swine
and poultry waste lagoon spills in
Properly operating lagoons have
also been studied for efficacy. In a 2002
Many regulations are in place to curb the effects of pollution from animal farms, but inquiries into their efficacy have not been inspiring. Centner et al estimate that 80 percent of animal feeding operations in the United States are not permitted by the EPA, and therefore do not comply to its standards (2002).
The contents of animal manure is
well documented, and the effects of these constituents
on bodies of water is being thoroughly studied.
The 2002 EPA report lists the "Key Pollutants
in Animal Waste" as nitrogen (N), phosphorus
(P), potassium (K), organic compounds, solids, pathogens,
salts, trace elements, and volatile compounds (p.
ES-7 – ES-8). These and other substances enter water
bodies through leaks, infiltration through soil
into groundwater, and directly through erosion and
runoff and when animals have access to flowing water
(EPA 2002). Agriculture is the number one cause
of water pollution in the
Once they have reached waterways, the pollutants in manure can cause a great deal of damage to aquatic and human life. A 2001 EPA report points to fish kills as the biggest problem associated with pollutants from manure (p. 1-5). Smith et al found that excessive amounts of P and N in fresh water causes excessive algal blooms, which adversely affect native populations by altering the chemical, thermal, and radiative aquatic environment. Accumulations of these nutrients in the ocean cause toxic phytoplankton blooms, which lead to fish kills (1999). Nitrogen can also become a global pollutant when released into the atmosphere, eventually settling back into distant water ways (Carpenter et al 1998; Aneja et al 1998).
Manure can be dangerous for people in a few forms. Organisms that are deadly to humans can make their way into the food supply through water contaminated with animal waste. Though direct contamination is not common, components of manure can also affect drinking water quality. These problems compound as practicality encourages animal operations to locate closer to heavily populated areas (EPA 2001). These facilities pose a serious threat to human health as well as to the health of local and global ecosystems.
The current world-wide growth in
population and affluence is putting global resources
under increasing pressure. Agriculture is a major
consumer of land, water, and energy. Animal farming
is responsible for roughly half of this resource
exploitation and is a major source of pollution
to natural systems. Although it is unreasonable
to think that all Americans might become vegetarian,
a simple reduction in the amount of animal products
that this country consumes could mean enormous relief
for non-renewable resources. This type of diet change
has the capacity to decrease the

Anglet - Corsaires Swell Statistics, Summer: All Swell – Any Wind
This chart shows the combination of swells directed at Anglet - Corsaires over a normal northern hemisphere summer, based on 7265 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast surf and wind right at the coastline so we have chosen the most applicable grid node based on what we know about Anglet - Corsaires. In this particular case the best grid node is 37 km away (23 miles).
The rose diagram illustrates the distribution of swell directions and swell sizes, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. Five colours show increasing wave sizes. The smallest swells, less than 0.5m (1.5 feet), high are coloured blue. These were forecast only 9% of the time. Green and yellow show increasing swell sizes and red shows biggest swells greater than >3m (>10ft). In each graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how frequently that size swell happens.
The diagram suggests that the prevailing swell direction, shown by the longest spokes, was WNW, whereas the the prevailing wind blows from the NNW. Because the wave model grid is offshore, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Anglet - Corsaires and away from the coast. We group these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To keep it simple we don't show these in the rose diagram. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Anglet - Corsaires, you can load a different image that shows only the swells that were predicted to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. During a typical northern hemisphere summer, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Anglet - Corsaires run for about 91% of the time.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

"We're increasingly confident that the hurdles ahead are technological and not biological and that we will succeed. Importantly, we've demonstrated already the great promise this technology has as a conservation tool when hundreds of the world's amphibian species are in catastrophic decline," he added.
The technical work was led by Dr Andrew French and Dr Jitong Guo, formerly of Monash University, in a University of Newcastle laboratory led by frog expert, Professor Michael Mahony, along with Mr Simon Clulow and Dr John Clulow. The frozen specimens were preserved and provided by Professor Mike Tyler, of the University of Adelaide, who extensively studied both species of gastric-brooding frog - R. silus and R. vitellinus - before they vanished in the wild in 1979 and 1985, respectively.
UNSW's Professor Archer spoke about the Lazarus Project and also about his ongoing interest in cloning the extinct Australian thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, at the TEDx DeExtinction event in Washington DC, US, hosted by Revive and Restore and the National Geographic Society. Researchers from around the world had gathered there to discuss progress and plans to 'de-extinct' other extinct animals and plants. Possible candidate species include the woolly mammoth, dodo, Cuban red macaw and New Zealand's giant moa.

Matt Hagan Excited About Returning To Ohio For This Weekend's NHRA Event
A return to Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park here for this weekend's fifth-annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals has DieHard Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car driver Matt Hagan excited.
The runner-up in last year's NHRA Full Throttle Funny Car championship likes coming to the Ohio venue for the simple enjoyment of the racing.
"They get great crowds and it's a great track," said the 28-year-old Don Schumacher Racing driver. "The track's about six hours from home, so it's not a tough travel weekend and I can stay home a bit later and get more work done on the farm. I also enjoyed coming here in my Pro Mod days.
"And the way Tommy DeLago (crew chief) has my DieHard Funny Car running, driving this weekend should also be a lot of fun."
The Christiansburg, Va. cattle farmer put together five solid runs during qualifying and final eliminations of last week's Bristol race before losing traction and, subsequently, his second-round match with Jeff Arend.
"The car felt good in Bristol and we put on a good show for all my family and friends who came to that race (some two hours from his home)," he said. "I'm feeling really good about how things are going; we just need to take the next step and grab a Wally – and I think we're really close!"
Hagan started the Bristol race from the second spot, getting down the track in each of the four qualifying sessions, never finishing one below the third position. DeLago overcame the challenges of changing weather and track conditions, as well as a four-hour rain delay, to tune the DieHard machine for a first-round win against Paul Lee.
"I can't say enough about how Tommy goes after it," Hagan said. "And I know he will this weekend, which will be great for us and for the fans."
When qualifying begins, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Friday, Hagan will be fifth in the NHRA Full Throttle Funny Car standings trailing Cruz Pedregon, Robert Hight, DSR teammate Jack Beckman and points leader Robert Hight.

President Barack Obama prevailed over GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Democrats maintained control of the Senate, and Republicans held onto the House of Representatives last night—elections that likely will maintain status quo for federal ...
Michael champion
My Christian conscience is guilt-free after voting for President Obama. The absolute hatred of President Obama by "devout Christians who have Jesus in their heart" is bad enough. But when you add the blatant violation of God's Commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" by those "devout Christians" who, out of ignorance and/or hatred, say the President is a "Muslim", a "Marxist", a "Communist", an "Athiest", "un-American", "un-Patriotic", a "Baby-Killer", a "Nazi", etc., it makes me think the lyrics have been changed to------"And, they'll know we are Christians by our Hate, by our Hate. Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our Hate." Well, if the President is "out to destroy America", then I guess I am, too. When it comes to Economic Policy, Taxes, Health Care, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Welfare Programs, Immigration, Education, the Environment, Foreign Policy, and Gun Control, I am to the "Left" of Obama. That must make me the Anti-Christ!
J Thomas
Get ready for the new reality, Christians. The neoprogressive machine that directs the democrats (and a portion of the republicans) views you as an enemy, an obstacle that must be removed. You are not viewed as an equivalent member of society deserving of all of the rights afforded you under the constitution. You are now a second-class citizen. Prepare for the full force of the government to be directed at you, especially if you resist. The Holy Spirit, through the multi-housing ministry movement, is preparing us to go underground. Pray for the believers, that our persecution be delayed!
Bryan Starrett
This Christian voted for President Obama, just as I did four years ago. I could say that I employ critical thinking and pragmatism when considering issues of religious ideology, politics, and government, but in truth I simply don't have enough hate in my heart to vote with the bitter religious right.
Claire Guest
Kat McH, I cannot agree that this recent election gave a "clear signal" of any kind. For one thing, the margin of victory was small (less than 2% popular vote). When you add in the people who voted third party (and didn't vote at all) because they considered Romney to be too liberal, you get a different figure altogether. For another, voting irregularities have been reported in a number of states, including battleground states. I think it's significant that Romney won in states which require photo ID to vote. Last I heard, the plane carrying the military's ballots to the USA had crashed, and it didn't sound like they were going to have time to vote again. I'm not convinced that we've been given the true story, and I think the chances are good that we'll never get the true story.
Kat McH
The 2012 election was a pretty clear signal that the American populace does not want the religious rules of rightwing Christians imposed on the rest of the country. I'f you're opposed to marriage equality then don't marry someone of the same sex. But our Constitution trumps your bible as the law of the land, so kindly keep your religious rules, rituals and superstitions far away from our secular government.
Claire Guest
How can anyone say "The 'Moral Landscape' has NOT changed" with a straight face? The moral landscape has undergone severe changes over the last few decades. The most recent example is that of re-defining GOD's definition of marriage. When people profess to be Christians, the implication is that they agree with God's Word, including His moral standard. So how is it that a professed Christian can agree with this re-definition, which in all its implications further denies GOD's Word about same-sex sexual relationships? PilgrimP, why do you make such a hateful accusation as "Christian Taliban", when you know that no such thing exists? To lump this pejorative in with Reps and the Tea Party (whose main message is to call for fiscal responsibility) is beyond reprehensible. William Penn said, "Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants." If things keep going as they've been going, the REAL Taliban may very well take over, then you'll know what REAL oppression is. GOD HELP US.
Claire Guest
Niall, I actually agree with your statement here, at face value: "...the maniacal insistence on single ideological issues, like [same-sex] 'marriage'". It's only been recently that this "maniacal insistence" (which I agree is an accurate assessment) started. Before that, the commonly-accepted definition of marriage was that of men and women. You seem to get the cart before the horse, like so many people in this country - you put the economy ahead of (im)moral issues. BUT God's Word is clear that people ignore and reject His moral standards to their own ruin, because these things incur His judgment and CAUSE negative economic ramifications. He said, "Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord." The inverse is equally true. You also unjustly play the "hate card", which is nothing but a cheap shot. Disagreement with unGodly immorality as championed by Obama and Dems in general is NOT hate, just disagreement. Those who love God will love what He loves and hate what He hates.
Claire Guest
Jon, your bias against white people (which is racism) is very evident in your post. I see all ethnicities as equals and my standard of truth is God's Word, which is why Albert Mohler's comment - "Evangelical Christians must see the 2012 election as a catastrophe for crucial moral concerns" - did NOT strike me as being cultural in nature. YOU say that black people would not agree with him, but I know better. My church is at least half African-American, and they totally agree - BECAUSE their standard of truth is God's Word too. YOU seem to assume that I (and other conservatives, as well) care nothing for the poor, widows and orphans, prisoners, etc. HOWEVER, what you (purposely?) overlook is that NOWHERE in Scripture does God command a GOVERNMENT to do what He has called HIS PEOPLE, HIS CHURCH to do. Nowhere does GOD command us to look to anyone BUT Him for our daily needs. He also plainly said, "If a man will not work, neither shall he eat." This is a BALANCE which is overlooked.
Jon Trott
Claire, I cited Albert Mohler's comment: "Evangelical Christians must see the 2012 election as a catastrophe for crucial moral concerns." Yes, it is a cultural comment by Mr. Mohler. Why? Because almost no black Christians would agree with him. Almost no Christians serving the inner city poor would go along with his definition of "moral concerns." And that's the point. He has a very short list of what he considers "crucial moral concerns." I for one -- and there are many more like me -- do not consider his list to be either complete or primary. How many verses mention abortion? How many verses mention homosexuality? And how many verses mention the poor, justice, the widow and orphan, the prisoner? Tribal Anglo-Saxon values are foisted on us as being THE "biblical values." That's because we don't listen to anyone else. We are content to think our interpretation of Scripture *IS* Scripture. And I for one am so eager to throw off the burden with which this white hermeneutic has burdened
Niall Lynch
I think it should be obvious that at a time when the country as a whole is suffering economically, the maniacal insistence on single ideological issues, like gay marriage, that do nothing to help the majority of those in this country, simply will not resonate. God/guns/gays/abortion may work fine when we are prosperous and secure. That's the time when the luxury of hate is cheapest. But in a situation like we have today, evangelicals have to come up with solutions for what is ailing us now. But on the economy, evangelicals have nothing meaningful to say. Perhaps it's time evangelicals starting thinking holistically about society. instead of siloing themselves in pursuit of boutique issues that matter only to the faithful. The faithful who just lost at the polls. Just a thought.
samuel Shropshire
I heard one evangelical leader refer to Obama's re-election as the beginning of a "Post Christian Era" in American history. But I say it could possibly be be our Pre-Christian Era as those who claim to be followers of Jesus begin to reconsider their ways--begging God for His forgiveness for not having demonstrated God's compassion for humankind by behaving as Jesus would behave towards sinners of all stripes and persuasions. ("In that while we were yet sinners" God demonstrated his love towards us [Romans 5:28]). This is no time to take pride in our self-righteousness. God hates the self-righteous, prideful. It's a time for those who claim to be "His people" to humble themselves and repent, Richard Land and Southern Baptists included (2 Chronicles 7:14). "(Jesus) also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, "God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income." But the tax-collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted."
J Thomas
The moral landscape has collapsed completely. It is in utter ruin. Christians paid no attention while the amoral pushed them out of the public square. For there to be a Christian influence in the nation, we need not only strong and thriving churches who are being led by the Holy Spirit and taking the gospel to every public place, but we need to have a place in culture as well. Hollywood is vehemently anti-Christian. Our popular music is decidedly anti-Christian. Our news media is ardently anti-Christian. Our culture is deconstructing Christian morals and replacing them with amoral government-driven secularism. The new landscape is amoral. The moral will be persecuted. Where we were once just "prudes" or "sticks in the mud" we are now enemies of the state.
Claire Guest
Jon, Albert Mohler's comment - "Evangelical Christians must see the 2012 election as a catastrophe for crucial moral concerns" - did not specify any cultural differences. YOU did that. He did not make any divisive statements - you did. What he DID reference by inferral is GOD's moral standard, period. If God's Word, including His moral standard, is NOT the standard of professed Christians, there is a disconnect there between what such people profess to believe, and what they actually say (and vote, etc). BY THE STANDARD OF GOD'S WORD, the departure of professed Christians from agreement with His Word IS a catastrophe. Several denominations have officially departed into apostasy already, and this movement is only continuing on and on and on. The fact that it is happening is NOT reason to condemn believers who do NOT depart from Godly morality. Christ Jesus prophesied this falling away, and the apostles echoed this. He said that FEW would take the narrow road which leads to Life.
Claire Guest
James Aist, it is very refreshing here to see a fellow believer acknowledge the immoral [and amoral] liberal movement which is advancing in this country. Yes, Christ Jesus told us that this world would get much worse before His next coming, that we are not to become alarmed (Matthew 25), and that "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). No, we don't like the moral degeneration in the world, but we do indeed know that none of it is a surprise to God, God is still sovereign and in control, and God will bring righteousness and justice to the world and create a dwelling place for His elect that is free from evildoers altogether (Revelation 22:14-15). Yes, our job is to remain faithful to His Word (Matthew 28:18-20) until the end, however and whenever that end comes for each of us. Yes, this is where we can find peace and joy in the midst of escalating spiritual darkness until that time. Well said, brother. I totally agree with you.
Claire Guest
P.S. to my post below, Jon: Watch this - virtually everything here is straight from Obama's own mouth. Note that whenever Obama mentions the Qu'ran, he calls it the "holy Qu'ran" (but he has made mocking comments about the Bible, he didn't call it the "holy Bible", and he mocked Christians in PA during the 2008 campaign with particularly heinous accusations). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCAffMSWSzY
Claire Guest
Jon, I continue to marvel at your ability to live in denial. Surely you cannot be completely ignorant of Obama's background, including his formative years, his experience in college, and his adult life, which have included extensive mentoring by Marxist mentors throughout his life. To simply acknowledge these FACTS is not "defamation" any more than it is defamation to acknowledge Romney's Mormon background. Christ Jesus said, "By their fruit you shall know them", and He never gave indication that it was a false judgment to acknowledge that fruit -- rather, just the opposite. You also falsely accuse me of hostility - I am not hostile to Obama at all; I pray for him regularly because I know God is not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance. Your continual false judgments of me do not intimidate me. I will continue to speak the truth. Christ Jesus said, "If you continue in My Word, you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
James Aist
We born-again Christians need not panic or despair when we see the immoral liberal movement advancing. Jesus told us that this world would get much worse before His next coming, that we are not to become alarmed (Matthew 25), and that "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). We don't like the moral degeneration in the world, but we know that none of it is a surprise to God, that God is still sovereign and in control, and that God will bring righteousness and justice to the world and create a dwelling place for His elect that is free from evildoers altogether (Revelation 22:14-15). Our job is to remain faithful to His Word and to His instructions (Matthew 28:18-20) until the end, however and whenever that end comes for each of us.

Claire Guest, you are indulging in defamation here as well as falsely claiming an authority which belongs to God alone. You do not get to say who is Christian and who is not. Barack Obama has over and over again -- at length -- described his faith's development and his allegiance to Jesus Christ. You may personally doubt him, which is your right. But you do not have the ability to read someone else's mind or know their heart... especially when you are manifestly so hostile to the President that you have repeatedly posted outright false information about him and even his relatives. It is highly disturbing to see you continue doing this despite having it pointed out to you again and again. I do not question your own faith; I do, however, question your actions here as being manifestly sub-standard from a Scriptural point of view.
Claire Guest
Heather, I just can't understand why so many professed Christians are so supportive of Obama, who could not possibly make it plainer that He despises God's Word - he even blasphemed Scripture in declaring his support for same-sex "marriage". This makes no sense! I am fully aware that Mormons are not Bible-believing Christians. The kicker is, neither is Obama. He was indoctrinated in Marxism from childhood, chose Marxist mentors as he grew up, and chose a Marxist Black Liberation Theology church as a grown man. The viable choices this year were a Mormon and a Marxist. Even if you believe Obama is a Christian, consider the words of Christ Jesus in Revelation where He condemned lukewarm believers who did not stand strong in His Word (surely you know how grievously Obama has mocked and violated God's Word). Jesus said He prefers that people be hot or cold. BTW - Taxation is not GOD's way of helping the poor. And putting Government in GOD's place is idolatry. Neither of these is Biblical.
Claire Guest
Shary Habuber, go to the nearest Crisis Pregnancy Refuge Center - you'll find many Christians working hard at all the things you mentioned. Better yet, go there and volunteer your own time and efforts. Please. Christ Jesus said, "Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto ME." Who is more "the least of these" than the little babies who are the youngest, most helpless, most innocent among us? Why do we dare kill them just because they are inconvenient? Remember the words of Christ Jesus.

One of my favorite things to do is going to concerts and discover new music. Since I've been here I haven't had the chance to do so, until last weekend! Continue reading

Visitors from Belgium, part 2: Swimming in your underwear and partying the night away in Eskoriatza
This weekend I had two guests in the Basque Country! Sander and Davy came to visit me. After we spent an evening and night in Bilbao, we visited San Sebastian.
Erasmus = studying, working and partying!
Today we had our second class of Digital Journalism where we were divided into groups of three to work on a project. We got the assignment to make a comic using pictures we made ourselves.
Jail time in Bergara
We have been in the Basque Country for over a week now, but this Friday was our first weekend we were all together. Still being the students that we are, it would be really ridiculous to wait a day longer to go partying. Continue reading
ongi etorri Holland!
Me and my Dutch friend(see previous) wanted to lay back for a night, after a tiring one in Bilbao. Therefore we went home to Arrasate, cause what could happen there? Well, we discovered it's not easy at all to avoid the fun here! After dinner, we got called by our Erasmus friends, who just happened to be a couple of minutes away. They just insisted that we came for a drink, just one they said.
My friend didn't know anyone at the start of the night, but he felt like he met the whole town at the end of it! Cause of course this one drink turned in to a second, a third and so on.. Each time I looked at my friend, he was talking to a new person, Basque or Erasmus, who ever.
He discovered that Basques in Arrasate enjoy having a drink, a chat and a game of table football when they're going out. So that's exactly what we did. Luckily, my friend is a enthousiatic guy, who enjoys meeting new people, what a great introduction to the Basque social ways. Ongi etorri Holland!
Traditional party in Gernika, a lovely way to finish off the weekend
Weekends here just seem to keep going.. If you're lucky, you catch a good Thursday night out in a student town, like I had in Arrasate. On Fridays people take it fairly easy, by having dinner with their friends or family. The one I was invited to happened to be in Donostia, were some of my Basque friends are from. We had a lovely night, meeting lots of people and the next day I found myself enjoying pintxos, some cider and a few welcome sunbeams. The following day another Basque 'laguna'(Basque friend), took me for some hiking in the mountains near Gasteiz. This all seems like a pretty good weekend, but then Gernika was mentioned.. A big farmers market filled with good, fresh food, followed by a party? That just sounded too good not to go!
The bus trip from my town Arrasate was interesting. I had to take three different busses to get there. But I had a great conversation in the bus with a guy who wrongly interpreted my question to speak slower, he just spoke louder.. Que fuerte!
In Gernika, I went strolling over the market, and what they said was true. People from all over the Basque Country(including Navarra and the French Basque Country) were there to sell own grown farm products such as fruits, vegetables, sheep cheese, cider and txakoli.
Still wonder where that damn tree is…

I've got a major soft spot for cute planters. When we moved in March, I discovered an embarrassingly huge stash of them under the kitchen sink that hadn't even been used yet. I ended up selling most of them to kick off the "clean start" vibe in the new space, but I always have an urge to add more to my collection. This sweet tiered planter ($125) was inspired by a classic wedding cake and features three distinct parts: a small pedestal that doubles as a saucer and two tiers that can be used together or as separate vessels. If you're like me and enjoy a little height in your garden arrangements, this could be just the ticket. Click here to check out the planter and here to see more planters from Potted. Thanks to Alyssa for the tip! xo, grace
That's a great design! Shame I have a less-than-green thumb!
How lovely! I'm a bit obsessed with planters also, though the ones I lust after tend to be a bit less cool and minimal than this one! I wrote about some I found recently actually – http://www.knittingontrains.com/2011/03/planter-passion.html
Great minimalist design!
I'm a fan. -
This is very pretty. Nicely done.
Wow I love this!
What an awesome idea! I will have to try this.
this is so sweet. what a great concept. a cake with zero calories and is 100% sweet. :)
sooo funny i just purchased this at POTTED yesterday! love it!!

Algae eating tankmate for bichir
Hi so im having a hard time finding an algae eating tank mate for my senegal bichir. He seems to want to eat everything in there. It's a planted tank so the algae eater cant eat em. Also i dont want em to be too big, as i know the bichir gets pretty big himself. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Try a bushnose catfish!
Bushnose catfish ( Ancistrus sp. ) is a GREAT algae eater. It only grows about 3-5 inches at most, and is VERY good at eating algae. Along with this, it is quite peaceful, and will not touch your plants, so long as it has enough food, but it is able to eat brush and beard algae off the leaves of plants WITHOUT damaging them. There are only a few things needed, though. The catfish needs its own cave, and it absolutely has to have driftwood. This catfish needs to chew on the driftwood in order to stay healthy. Along with algae wafers or chips, try to feed it fresh vegetables, too. Also, for some reason, they love french cut beans. Anyways, this should solve your problem. Remember to thank me if you found this helpful!

thx for the reply, i had just ordered a long fin albino bushynose catfish since i work at a pet store i get them at areal cheap price myself :)

The bristlenose pleco is a great idea. I had a lot of brown algae and i got one and within a few days it was almost all eaten up by my bn
1 29g - one red tailed shark, an opaline gourami, and a bristlenose pleco
Just as a word of caution, Bichirs are well known for eating absolutely any fish they can fit into their mouths. When your Bichir (if he isn't already) becomes larger there is a large chance that he will eat those plecos. Now, there have been instances where predatory fish have been introduced to potential prey fish when the predator is much younger/smaller, and when it grows to a size that would originally instigated to hunt the prey fish, a predatory fish will occasionally ignore the prey fish because their prolonged presence with the predatory fish. It's risky, but your Bichir and plecos could exists together peacefully. If your Bichir is already large (nearing a foot), I wouldn't be surprise if plecos become Bichir chow. Good luck. o.o

Nicholaus Hoult – Hit (that) or Miss?
Here are new pictures of Nicholas Hoult at the Rome premiere of his new movie, 'Warm Bodies' in Rome, Italy. Nicholas and Jennifer Lawrence recently ended their two-year relationship. So he's single ladies!
I've seen the trailer for 'Warm Bodies' and I'm not sold. With that said, I should admit that I'm not a fan of zombies. ANY zombie movies (YES, even 'Shaun of the Dead'). I'm especially not fond of funny zombie movies. Really? Funny? I know a LOT of people enjoy this kind of thing, and more power to ya. I just don't find it funny. A zombie love story? Really? We'll have to wait and see, I guess.
I don't think I'll actually like any zombie movies until Brad Pitt's zombie movie, 'World War Z' comes out. Then I'm sure I'll like them just fine. 🙂 Watch the two trailers below! (PS: The 'World War Z' trailer below has been viewed 16 MILLION TIMES. Can you believe that!?)
What's the verdict? Hot or Not? (I think he needs some meat on his body, personally.)

Learn to be a Superhero, Barto Lobby • 7 pm
Have you ever observed someone being bullied or picked on but didn't know what to do? This session is an introduction to becoming an ally, most notably an ally for members of marginalized communities on Central's campus. This session is for everyone or anyone; from those of you who may be confused about how to help someone out without "saying/doing the wrong thing," to those of you who have ever been helped in a way that you didn't exactly find to be helpful. Within this session we will go over terms such as 'microagressions,' 'marginalization.' 'ally,' 'privilege,' 'power,' etc. and give demonstrations/examples of these terms. We will also use art (poetry, music, etc.) as catharsis (artistic expression of emotion) in order to talk about how forms of self-expression allow for self/group healing.

After hitting both the Passage des Postes and Rue Piémontési in the French capital, Banksy made his way to the Rue de Babylone in the 7th arrondissement of Paris for the third day of his "Back To The Roots" residency. Highlighted here in a short video, the piece sees a bench-sitting cellophane figure – complete with a bucket hat – posed as if he were feeding the surrounding pigeons. The tagline?: "Feed the pigeons… and they'll feed you one day." Check out the third installment of "Back To The Roots" above and stay tuned for more from the elusive Brit's latest "street residency."

Scientists are studying the flight of the bumblebee in an effort to work out how the insects remain steady in adverse weather conditions.
Dr Sridhar Ravi from Harvard University used high-speed cameras to film the bumblebees as they flew in a wind tunnel.
This set-up enabled Dr Ravi and his team to control the airflow the bees had to contend with, and to find out how the bees coped with the changing conditions.
It revealed that the bumblebees would roll their bodies from side to side to correct their flight path.
The researchers say the study could aid the design of "micro air vehicles" that remain stable in bad weather.
