Before I talk about how rude Nastia was to many gymnasts at the Woga Classic I have a few short things to talk about.
GymnasticsCoaching.com has a cute video about BYU gymnastics and posters they made for the team using water. These girls were such good sports during the whole thing and the video was funny. Make sure you watch it.
Gymster posted this link in the comments section. Queen Nastia loves camp. Watch the video and laugh.
Nastia apparently was her usual eye rolling self at the Woga Classic and she refused to sign autographs for at least a couple of kids. Nastia's bad attitude is the norm when the camera's are not around but this time she must have gone too far because she actually issued an apology. Well more like an excuse. Not sure where this came from but here is her "apology" on facebook.
I've heard some were disappointed that I wasn't able to sign autographs DURING the competition. In all fairness, I was told not to sign while the competition was going on, as I didn't want to cause a distraction to the girls competing. I'm truly sorry if any were disappointed. That was not my intention. But I am pleased to say, we DID get thru the entire line that wrapped around the whole building Saturday evening…. I appreciate your love and support. Xo NL
In all fairness ? LMAO. Did she really say that. How is, rolling your eyes and ignoring a bunch of kids "In all fairness" This girl is a flipping disaster and everyone makes excuses for her. It's amazing. Is the word, DURING really capitalized in her quote on facebook? OMNG, This is hilarious.
IG has a new stalker in 'I punched A-Sac" I can't believe that retard is a mother. I guess I should quote what was written for TCO but I don't feel like it.:)

Petaluma officials Tuesday signed off on a Concord-based developer's plans to construct nearly 200 homes on Petaluma's east side, with 25 units reserved for lower income home-buyers.
The 16-acre Brody Ranch development will be situated near the intersection of North McDowell Boulevard and Corona Road, north of the future Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit station. The subdivision will include 61-single family homes and nine condominium buildings with a total of 138 multi-family units, according to project plans.
The development of the for-sale units, fronted by DeNova Homes, will also include a network of pedestrian and bike paths, easement for 12 public parking spaces, pedestrian crosswalks, roadway widening and a bus stop at Sonoma Mountain Parkway. It also includes wetlands and open spaces, a tot lot and a community garden for residents.
DeNova's Director of Land Acquisition Trent Sanson lauded the project as one that will help link residents to the SMART train while also supplying a large cache of diverse housing options.
"There are very few opportunity sites left in the area, and with this one being unique and having the SMART train being built across from it in the future ... it seemed like a great location in a vibrant community for us to hopefully make something that everyone is proud of," Sanson said.
Brody Ranch will be the second in the city to include residences for sale at below-market rates through the Housing Land Trust of Sonoma County. The Southgate development features 26 homes offered through the organization as workforce housing.
The housing trust will own the land where the affordable units are built at Brody Ranch, and will lease it on a 99-year term to the homeowner. That method gives the organization the ability to mandate that homes are sold to low-to-moderate income homeowners in perpetuity.
Those affordable units, which are reserved for households earning 80 to 120 percent of the average median income, will be scattered throughout the development, said Executive Director Dev Goetschius. The trust will handle the sale of those homes, she said.
"We want people to be able to live and work locally and housing is a wonderful way to really change the quality of life and to have people who are the fabric of our community here in the community where they would normally be priced out," she said.
During public comment at the Tuesday planning commission meeting, four residents voiced concerns about elements of the development, including safety, traffic and parking impacts on nearby neighborhoods.
Vice Chair Bill Wolpert, a proponent of walkable urban development, expressed a desire for increased connectivity.
"Overall I'm OK with this project," he said. "Petaluma is going through a transition right now and we're trying to find places for people to live and we're going through some growing pains. We love our open space on the outside of the community and we don't spoil that, so we're left with infill projects on the interior. There are no questions about it being more crowded and having more traffic and taking more time to get places. We can do a better job giving people choices about how they get place to place."
The planning commission sought more exploration into the possibility of extending a bike and pedestrian crossing across the SMART tracks. In granting previous entitlements for the project, the city council determined that such an extension would not be feasible, though city council liaison Chris Albertson agreed to bring up the topic during the period for council comment at a future meeting.

Today after work we were hosting our New Year's party. It's a bit late, we know, but the manager hadn't planned on having one at all, until one student kept nagging her about it! It worked, so Shinenkai ended up halfway through February!
Tired after a hard day at work, getting ready for the party
A lot of students, especially guys, showed up to the party at the Italian place (Al Centro) next door. We were served a lot of Japanese-Italian food and drinks, and it was a lot of fun to catch up with so many students. I hadn't drunk alcohol since the fake champagne at actual New Year's at home, so 3 glasses of (actually pretty tasty) white wine was enough to get me drunk! The party was really great and I was genuinely sad when Mayuka told us all to leave after just two measly hours.
Tipsy Lou with Al Centro's owner/cook Takahiro
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to show my students on my blog anymore. Apparently, somewhere a student sued Aeon because one of its teachers posted a picture of him or her on a blog. I don't know the details and although I don't believe our students are particularly litigious, I'd better play it safe. So, I'll just be taking more pictures of our staff (because that is still ok) from now on to illustrate my AEON stories. It's a shame because several of my students read my blog, and not in the least to see the pictures I took of them accompanied with a story about them. And of course my blog has always been a nice way to share my wonderful students with the people at home and in other parts of the world. So, I'll be hiding my students from now on, either by hiding their pictures on Flickr (you'll need to be a registered friend or family to be able to see them), or by covering their faces like this:
Kristin and her rather peculiar-looking students
At the end of the party Mayuka and Takahiro surprised Kristin with a huge chocolate-strawberry cake to celebrate her upcoming birthday! And she blew all 28 candles out (almost) at once. Obviously I took many pictures of the students at the party, but if you want to see them you'll have to register as my friend on Flickr and hope you'll pass my severe security screening ;).

Not changing.
You know what?
Sometimes words couldn't just explain how I feel.
Oh well,
I swear it will heal.
Or maybe,
it's just going to get extra longer time to heal
Or maybe - just maybe,
it will never heal.

Hello Friends!
I am so excited to reveal to you my new brand re-design and a new product!
Rellas Bellas. I have come up with a series of new necklaces that I will be releasing over the next few months.
I love items that are are fresh, modern and flirty. I wanted my brand to reflect the products I make.
Some times less is more. This single rosette necklace is perfect for those days. This fresh and modern necklace will add just the right amount of color to your outfit. It is simple yet the intricate details of the rosette make it just a bit flirty.
Every day when I get dressed I don't feel like I can leave the house until I accessorize. Some people can't leave the house without make-up, for me is jewelry. An outfit isn't complete until I've added the final touches.
Some days I like to match my jewelry to my outfit while others days I like to be a bold contrast to what I am wearing. Some days the juxtaposition of the sparkly necklaces with the casual tee just makes me giddy.
I also love to add elements of the unexpected. That is exactly what I did with the whimsical print I added to the back of the single rosette necklace. The grey and white polka dots add that extra hint of whimsy that I oh so much love.
The single rosette necklace is the perfect go to piece for those days when you are running errands, have 800 things to do but still what to look chic and put together.
They are also the perfect understated piece to add a pop of color to a pretty sundress for a night of dinner and drinks with your man or girlfriends.

Modular Office Furniture
What is Modular Office Furniture? It is furniture made for home office or offices that could be customized and put together in various different appearance or layouts. It could be easily moved, re-arranged, or re-sized depending on the needs of the office itself. Usually this type of furniture is used a lot in companies that have workstations that might need to grow in workers quantity overtime. There are many different furniture companies that offer this type of office furniture, with different base materials, style, designs, and shapes and also most of them are able to do customized designs if asked by the company needing their services.
Most people in different offices are used to a particular workstation especially the one that they see a lot, which is the cubicle. It is made out of components that could be taken off or joined together with other workstations to create various lengths of walls to divide different workstations. Depending on specific needs of the workers in the office itself or how the company managers want the seating is done for their workers, these cubicles could be in rectangular form, square form or even circular configurations. While some people found this very common to be done in their workplace, home offices usually also prefer to use modular office furniture to save space and be more efficient.
Modular office furniture comes in different variety of configurations, styles and designs that are made so easily to be put in together or detached from one another. This flexible office furniture could just be one of the best things an office could get, because if the company is growing or expanding and they need more seats for their workers, they don't have to do whole floor renovation of the office space. All they have to do is to add another module to the workstation and everything is all set to be used by the new hired workers.
It also ranges from office cubicles, office desks, executive desks, reception desks, or even standing desks. There are many different base materials along with different colors that you could choose from. It is highly advisable to choose the design or colors that match your office theme well so they don't contradict each other and could blend in nicely for the whole room as a bigger picture. Modular office furniture is definitely more flexible and easier to configure especially with the capability of them being moved around if there is any addition for a growing company.

I assumed the home was lost to development long ago and put the article aside as being of little interest.
But when I revisited the article a few months ago, I did a little more research, and was surprised to find out the house was still there and I knew which one is was. I had even wondered about its history for a long time. Let's see if you recognize it from the article too.
So here's the article as written by Lillian Alten as it appeared in the Lorain Journal on January 24, 1955 – 61 years ago this month.
On Detroit Road
Antiques, School House Make Village Landmark
By LILLIAN ALTEN
AVON – Many people, villagers and visitors alike, have often noticed the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Schrader, 35955 Detroit Rd., but not many know the history behind it.
The property was originally known as the village school grounds and dates back to 1836, when it was School District No. 7. The house was originally a school. The first building on the site was moved, and the present building was used as a school until 1924, when the tornado and other circumstances caused the school to be closed.
Colonial, Georgian
The Schrader home, of colonial and Georgian structure, retains its antique charm, and visitors have little trouble realizing that it was once a two-room school house. A blackboard used in the school is now sealed in between the kitchen and breakfast room walls, which used to be the cloakroom in the school.
The floors throughout the house are the original maple floors of the school, and the floored attic had huge, old exposed beams, which serve to show how permanently the building was put together.
The Schrader's say the present building was erected just before the turn of the century. The front and back steps of the house are the original steps used by the school children. The handrail at the back steps is worn smooth from use given it by children going in and out of the old schoolhouse.
Vestibule Cloakroom
The front vestibule, once the school cloakroom, has a ceiling six feet higher than the other rooms in the house. The windows have been shortened and ceilings have been lowered six feet. The basement walls are of sandstone.
The exterior of the house is of white painted brick with green shutters. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and a sunken patio and huge double fireplace and located in the back yard.
Treasure Trove
The interior of the Schrader home is a treasure - trove of glass, silver, brass, copper and sandstone pieces, some of which came with the house. Mrs. Schrader's hobby is antiques, and she collects antique dolls, glass and china. She is constantly searching for additions to her collection.
The house is furnished predominantly with Early American pieces, with some Victorian and some primitive furnishings completing the picture. Adding to the "antique" atmosphere are poster beds, complete with old fashioned pillow covers and dust ruffles.
Shown by appointment or invitation only, the house gives a feeling of welcome to all who enter, and is a charming village landmark.
****Here are two shots of the house as it looked for many years, courtesy of the Lorain County Auditor website.
I remember driving by this building after construction commenced on the nearby shopping center, wondering what was going to happen to it. It looked particularly forlorn back then, surrounded by a sea of dirt and mud.
But happily, the structure did survive the construction of the shopping center. It housed a home decor business at some point (below).

Today, the landmark former school house serves as the home of Beauty Bar David Scott Salon.

New York Giants: Grading Untapped Potential for Each Member of 2012 Rookie ClassJanuary 4, 2013
New York Giants: Grading Untapped Potential for Each Member of 2012 Rookie Class
Back in April, the New York Giants brought in a wave of rookies who the brain trust believed would eventually become the franchise's stars of the future. From the little we saw of them in 2012, Giants fans have reason to believe that these young prospects could eventually help New York return to playoff dominance.
This will be a pivotal offseason for the 2012 rookie class. After experiencing a full season in the Giants' system, the members of the class will have their first full spring/summer to hone their abilities and knowledge of the playbook.
This article will highlight both what we saw from the rookie class in 2012 as well as what to expect from it in 2013 and beyond.
Rd. 1 (Pick 32): RB David Wilson
What we saw:
We knew going into the season that running back David Wilson had an incomparable burst of speed. The reports from training camp were that Wilson possessed explosiveness unlike any the New York Giants coaching staff had seen before.
However, after a Week 1 fumble, head coach Tom Coughlin kept that burst hidden for the majority of the season. It wasn't until Ahmad Bradshaw's backup, Andre Brown, broke his fibula in Week 12 that Wilson got his true chance to shine.
His breakout performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14 sent Giants fans into a tizzy, as the majority of them wanted to see Wilson's role expand beyond simple kick return duties. In the final four weeks of the season, Wilson's production rose exponentially; he carried the ball 43 times for 247 yards and three touchdowns during that time.
What to expect:
Wilson's biggest task this offseason is to attain a firm grasp on his full responsibilities as a running back, including pass protection, ball control and route running. The sooner he understands those aspects of the game, the sooner New York can rely on him as an every-down back.
Bradshaw is still a veteran leader, but Wilson will quickly gain ground on him in 2013. He is a motivated player that makes a list of lofty goals before each season. Wilson's athletic potential is too dangerous to keep on the sidelines any longer.
Untapped potential: 5.0/5.0
Rd. 2 (Pick 63): WR Rueben Randle
What we saw:
The 6'3 receiver would flash before our eyes in 2012, sometimes leaving our jaws on the floor after making an amazing catch. Then, just as quickly as he appeared, the rookie would disappear, burying himself deep within a wide receiver corps ripe with talent.
Such was the story of wide receiver Rueben Randle's rookie year.
Against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5, Randle was featured in a primary role as the Giants fielded a depleted cast of receivers. He was outstanding in the early-season showing, leading his team with 82 yards on six grabs.
But after that game, Randle was not targeted more than twice in a contest until Week 16—in five of those games he was not targeted at all. He held New York's punt return duties for most of the season, but veteran Domenik Hixon eventually took over in Week 14 against the Saints. Neither player was particularly effective in that facet of the game.
Then, in Week 17 against the Eagles, Randle gave Giants fans the taste they were looking for. He caught four Eli Manning passes for 58 yards and converted two of them into touchdowns. He finished the season with 32 catches, 298 yards and three touchdowns.
What to expect:
Randle's size gives him a ton of upside. Manning loves to fling the ball up for his play-making receivers, and Randle is the type of player that has proven he can come down with those passes. A big target like Randle will be awfully useful in the red zone.
With Hakeem Nicks under contract, and Victor Cruz seemingly in the fold for 2013, Randle's biggest task will be to separate himself from a strong fleet New York receivers. If the Giants bring back Hixon, a reliable pass-catcher and established target of Manning's, Randle's job will get even tougher.
Randle needs to work on his timing with Manning during the offseason. Once Manning trusts Randle to be in a certain place at a certain time, we'll see him worked into the offensive mix more thoroughly. With Nicks healthy, Cruz and Randle could round out a deadly receiving trio in 2013.
Untapped potential: 4.0/5.0
Rd. 3 (Pick 94): CB Jayron Hosley
What we saw:
Cornerback Jayron Hosley was forced into action a bit more than the Giants originally anticipated in 2012. Thanks to a season-ending preseason injury to Terrell Thomas in training camp, nagging hamstring and ankle issues with Prince Amukamara, and the general ineffectiveness of Michael Coe (now with the Cowboys) and Justin Tryon, Hosley was asked to produce early in his rookie campaign.
Hosley played in the first three games of the season but was then bothered by multiple injuries of his own. Often, his name showed up on the weekly injury report, but the rookie still managed to take the field for 12 games in 2012.
When on the field, Hosley's inexperience was exposed. He managed to make a handful of quality plays, including an interception against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, but for the most part, opposing quarterbacks took advantage of his youth.
Hosley finished the season with 40 tackles (32 solo, two for a loss), five passes defended, a forced fumble and an interception.
What to expect:
Hosley is undersized (5'10, 178 lbs.), but he makes up for it with blazing speed. He is the perfect defender for smaller, shiftier slot receivers. However, to use him exclusively in that role, the Giants need to stay healthy on the outsides. Larger, more physical receivers will manhandle him if he is asked to defend them.
The Virginia Tech product is not afraid to make a play on the ball, though. As a slot corner, Hosley has the potential to develop into a difference-making interception machine. If he studies up on the tendencies of opposing quarterbacks/receivers, Hosley could become an excellent route-jumper.
Untapped potential: 3.0/5.0
Rd. 4 (Pick 127): TE Adrien Robinson
What we saw:
Starting tight end Martellus Bennett insisted upon the nickname "Black Unicorn" for himself when he came to New York, but it might be more fitting for Adrien Robinson to go by that name. After general manager Jerry Reese referred to him as the "JPP of tight ends" in training camp, the quasi-mythical Robinson was never activated in the regular season.
Giants fans knew going into the season that Robinson was a very raw, yet athletic option at tight end who was probably not going to make an impact in his first year as a professional. For every big catch he made during training camp/preseason, Robinson made two or three inexperienced errors.
It will be a learning process for Robinson; hopefully he picked up a thing or two from watching Bennett and Bear Pascoe.
What to expect:
If Robinson really is the Jason Pierre-Paul of tight ends then 2013 should be his year to shine. In 2011, Pierre-Paul's second year in the league, the defensive end ripped through opposing offenses as teams clamored for a game plan to slow down the athletic specimen.
Robinson, who has tremendous size (6'4, 264 lbs.), needs to work most closely on his catching ability this offseason. For a player as raw as Robinson, the route running and timing won't immediately fall into place. However, if he can prove that he has reliable hands, Manning will not be hesitant to feed him the ball in a bind.
Untapped potential: 4.5/5.0
Rd. 4 (Pick 131): OT Brandon Mosley
What we saw:
Offensive tackle Brandon Mosley didn't make many headlines during training camp last August, but he did survive the team's first cuts on Aug. 27. However, on that same day, Mosley was placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury that had been limiting his practice time for a week.
What to expect:
Mosley is a "tough-minded" and versatile offensive lineman, according to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN New York. He is likened to long-time Giants offensive lineman David Diehl, which is meant to be a compliment but sounds more like a curse, given Diehl's performance over the last couple seasons.
Untapped potential: 2.0/5.0
Rd. 6: OT Matt McCants
What we saw:
Offensive tackle Matt McCants was just as invisible as Mosley was in 2012. Their combined snap count this season was zero, as McCants found a permanent home on the Giants' practice squad. He was signed to a reserve/futures contract earlier this week.
What to expect:
There's not much to expect from either Mosley or McCants. Even Reese sounded a bit pessimistic of his late-round offensive lineman in his postseason review of the 2012 rookie class (via Jenny Vrentas of The Newark Star-Ledger):
They're both developmental kids, and they'll have the offseason program, and hopefully they can give us some depth. And who knows? Maybe one of them will be a starter at some point.
It doesn't sound like either player will be making a huge impact any time soon.
Untapped potential:1.5/5.0
Rd. 7 (Pick 201): DT Markus Kuhn
What we saw:
When the Giants selected German-born defensive tackle Markus Kuhn in the seventh round, he was a long shot to make the final 53-man roster. Many expected the developmental defensive lineman to be stashed away on the practice squad for the 2012 season.
However, after a rash of injuries at the position, Kuhn landed a spot on New York's final roster. When veteran Rocky Bernard sat out in Week 5 with a quad injury, Kuhn and fellow inexperienced DT Marvin Austin were forced to carry the load alongside Linval Joseph.
Surprisingly, Kuhn was formidable in the starting lineup. His performance was not outstanding statistically, but Kuhn saw significant playing time until a torn ACL robbed him of the back half of his rookie campaign.
In 10 games, Kuhn collected eight tackles (four solo, one for a loss) and deflected four passes at the line.
What to expect:
It's tough to gauge how Kuhn will come back from such a serious injury. In general, players across the league are recovering more quickly from ACL tears—Minnesota's Adrian Peterson came within nine yards of the all-time, single-season rushing record in 2012 after undergoing similar knee surgery just over a year ago.
On the flip side, if the recovery time is rushed, the hard work can backfire. New York's Terrell Thomas and Domenik Hixon both suffered consecutive ACL injuries in recent years. Kuhn, who is still learning how to play at the NFL level, should be in no rush to return to action.
Untapped potential: 3.5/5.0
UDFA: Adewale Ojomo
What we saw:
Defensive end Adewale Ojomo was New York's preseason prodigy. After blowing everyone away with his ability in August, Ojomo became the only undrafted rookie to make the Giants' 53-man roster.
However, once the season began, Ojomo was rarely activated; he did not play a single defensive snap in 2012. The move to put Ojomo on the 53-man roster was probably a preventative measure, as he garnered a lot of attention during the preseason, and many teams would love to get their hands on a player with his potential.
Ojomo defended the run and rushed the passer effectively during the 2012 preseason, racking up 10 tackles (eight tackles, four for a loss), four sacks, four QB hits and a pass deflection in three games.
What to expect:
Ojomo has ideal size for a defensive end (6'4, 270 lbs.), and he used it to his advantage during the 2012 preseason. Most of his production was against second- and third-string talent, but if he can replicate the stellar performances we've seen on Sundays in 2013, the New York coaching staff would be thrilled.
In the little we saw of Ojomo, he displayed an endless motor and an invaluable nose for the ball. Despite not playing a single down in 2012, Ojomo has remained a fan favorite. If Ojomo can refine his craft during the offseason, he'll turn veteran Osi Umenyiora into an afterthought, as the 31-year-old's departure appears to be imminent.

When his brother is killed in an accident, cold-blooded gun for hire Jack Carter (Sylvester Stallone) returns home to make peace with his past. But when evidence of foul play surfaces, Carter's mission becomes one of retribution rather than redemption. Miranda Richardson, Rachel Leigh Cook, Mickey Rourke and Michael Caine (who starred in the original production) lead the supporting cast in this remake of the classic 1971 crime thriller.

Port: Boom
|no review yet
no mirrors yet
|Claustral is a map with a size limit. All the gameplay happens in a 1024 x 1024 square (although some map detail extends beyond this limit). This map was made when the 1024 limitation was becoming a popular gimick for community projects and contests, but I never entered it in any. I had actually deleted this wad and forgotten about it completely, but a friend of mine who play-tested it over a year ago actually hung onto it over all this time! Now I'm somewhat less critical of my work, have have decided to release it to the Doom world!
|4 Hour
Port: Boom

|This is a dinky little map made within a 4 hour time limit. The exact creation time is probably closer to 3 and a half hours. Its a standard brown-brick and metal themed level, nothing special.
|Bay of Flames
|Port: ZDoom
Levels: 1

idgames mirror
This is a single map, and a very short one at that. This was mostly an experiment and learning experience for me, using ZDoom's ACS scripts to affect game play in interesting ways. My biggest complaint received on this was the length. Sure, it's a decent and engaging level, but its over so fast it's hardly worth the time to play it. I also made some rather odd decisions while making this. For example, the player finds a red key near the end of the map, but there is no use for it. I think at the time my idea was giving the player a key will signal them that it is time to move on. Fail. It's a concept level, so if you download it try and respect it in that regard.
|Fear Reconstructed
|Port: ZDoom
Levels: 3
|/newstuff review
idgames mirror
This is a compilation that was created for a short lived and ultimately axed community megawad. The levels are quite separate from one another but overall the maps are of high quality. It is less difficult than my first release and shouldn't present too much of a challenge for a seasoned Doomer, however it isn't exactly a care-free romp. The second map especially was a great benchmark of growth for me and my mapping abilities.
|Fear Construct
|Port: Legacy
Levels: 3
|/newstuff review
idgames mirror
|This is a mini-episode for Legacy that spreads over a motley combination of brown-brick gothic, tech, and hellish texture themes. Despite the incongruity of the levels, the overall feel of doom-ness is there. All three maps are possible to complete from pistol starts, but it certainly isn't easy. I suggest you save your game at the beginning of each level as it will be hard to recover if you're left with just a pistol. While the detail is a bit lacking in some spots and illogical in others, I am proud at how well I was able to execute some of my ideas here.
|day_night2 - This wad, made my a one "Shtbag667," shows how to use ACS to create a day/night rotation effect. We were considering this for a possible Doom-based rpg, and hopefully will revisit the project. For ZDoom ports only.
rpg_test - This wad is a test of using ZDoom's decorate lump and strife dialogue to create an rpg. Perhaps I will expand on the idea when the inspiration and motivation comes. for ZDoom ports only.
dukewater - This is a demonstration wad, nothing special, but it can be used to create the effect of having the player move under a pontoon bridge or the like. for ZDoom ports only.

Will Win - Jodie Foster "Orange is the New Black - Lesbian Request Denied"
Should Win - Jodie Foster "Orange is the New Black - Lesbian Request Denied"
Could Win - Gail Mancuso "Modern Family - Las Vegas"
Commentary - This is a tough one to predict. Gail Mancuso has won this category before for Modern Family, and Las Vegas may be one of her best episodes. It is hilarious, and in terms of the directing, it easily juggles its fast-moving parts with ease. This is the kind of episode that wins Emmys. But Modern Family clearly is slipping with Emmy voters, even in this rejuvenated season. Plus, there is a hot new toy on the block, that is incredibly well-structured, and that of course is Orange is the New Black. But one of the biggest reasons I am putting it ahead in a close race is because of the name involved. Jodie Foster is a two-time Academy Award winner, hell at this point she is a legend. And while Gail Mancuso might be a favorite among television directors, I think that the popularity and buzz of Orange is the New Black, combined with the respect and awe for Jodie Foster will lead to an Emmy victory.

that subject was avoiding him because of extreme embarrassment at being discovered traveling with his mistress.

Police chief questions silence
Is there a lack of public discussion on the City of Ottawa's 2011 budget? Police chief Vern White seems to think so. Here's what he said to reporters earlier today outside the Champlain Room, where the Police Services Board had just adopted the police budget, and where no one from the public gallery took up chair Eli El-Chantiry's invitation to ask questions:
"We've been to all the public forums. I don't think there's been a question to the police or about the police budget yet, which is a bit of a surprise...I do wish that the public were asking more questions overall about the budget of the city, I mean I think that's healthy for the city. I'm not hearing a lot of questions...I wish there was some grassroots discussions going on, and I'm not hearing them. If they're happening, I'm not hearing them."
Why does Chief White think that is?
"How long have you known (the city's budget target) has been 2.5 per cent? Months, right? I mean there's not really a debate around the budget this year. It's more of a discussion about what is 2.5 per cent impact, 12 dollars per home kind of thing...I think debate is important around all aspects of public accountability, and I think certainly on the budget debates."
Chief White is correct: Police Services Board Executive Director Wendy Fedec confirms there were no public delegations when the board first debated the budget back on January 24th. There was none at the board's regular meeting on February 28th. And there was none today. There may have been some questions put to officers who attended the five multi-ward budget consultations. But the fact that there's no official record of this indicates how much weight those questions carry.
The fact is the force was able to find the $6.1-million needed to meet council's 2.5 per cent tax decree with relative ease. It will become a much more difficult task in 2013 and 2014 though. White promises uniformed positions will remain unfilled. He says the public will notice a reduction in service.
The chief also seems to be commenting here on a general lack of consultation on the City of Ottawa's 2011 budget. While public delegations were heard at the committee stage, there will be no comments or questions from the peanut gallery when councillors begin debate tomorrow. They made sure of that when they passed this new budget process back in December.

Phew! I've spent the past few days visiting schools and talking to young readers, which is always great fun but EXHAUSTING!
Children are always so full of energy and fidgetiness (is that a word? No, I thought not) and there's always that terrifying thought at the back of my mind that they're going to get bored and turn on me. Thankfully they didn't! In fact, they seemed very pleased to be missing lessons – one group was missing maths, which is an added bonus – and they all listened to me with only the smallest amount of fidgeting. There might have been a few bottom coughs from one group, but I pretended not to notice. I just thanked the gods of writing that I wasn't sitting next to the perpetrator . . .
So, now I have time for a very quick breather, to complete editing My brother's Secret, and then it's back into the fray!
Wish me luck, I may be some time.
That's all.

Child Benefit in Ireland
Child Benefit (previously known as Children's Allowance) is payable to the parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age, or under 18 years of age if the child is in full-time education, FÁS Youthreach training or has a disability.
You need to apply for Child Benefit within 12 months of:
- The birth of your baby
- The month the child became a member of your family or
- The month the family came to live in Ireland
- Commencement of employment in Ireland.
Please note, you do not need to apply for Child Benefit if your child is born in Ireland and is registered within 6 months of the birth. When you register your child's birth, if you provide the necessary information about yourself and your child to the Registrar, the Child Benefit Office will contact you within 10 days of the birth registration to arrange your payment.
For further information please visit the Department of Social Protection web page – Child Related Payments
Cross-border issues
"Cross border workers must apply for child benefit in the country where they work. Unless one parent is employed or is self employed on each side of the border, then they should apply in the country of residence of the children." Source – www.welfare.ie – page 11, example 11.
Under EU Regulations, the country of employment pays the family benefits even though the family may reside in another EU member state. If both parents are employed in two different countries, the country of residence of the children pays the family benefits and the other State considers a supplement payment. (If you are in any doubt about where to apply , North or South, you should apply in both jurisdictions as this will ensure you apply within the 12 month timeframe.)
A supplement payment is the difference between the total amount of family benefits payable in the UK (Child Benefit + Child Tax Credit) and Ireland (Child Benefit).
Bundling – When applying for a top up of Child Benefit from the South, NI Child tax credits are bundled together with Child benefit received in the North and the total amount is taken away from the Irish Child Benefit rate. The shortfall, if any, is then paid out as a supplement.
Confirming entitlement to Child Tax Credits can delay this process and currently there are cases that have been delayed for over 12 months. However, If your household income is above the (HMRC-defined) income threshold you will not qualify for child tax credits.
Frequently cross border applications for Child Tax Credits are deemed Complex Cases. When dealing with the Tax Credits Office you should ask to speak to someone with knowledge of EU regulations or a Team Leader
If this is the situation the Child benefits authorities in the ROI will require documentary evidence of this ie P60's or a letter from a certified accountant verifying that the income is above the threshold and as such no child tax credits are payable. Once the ROI authorities are satisfied the income is above the threshold they will pay the exact difference between the child benefit received in the North and the amount payable in the South.
The Child Benefit application form is available for download from the Department of Social Protection website – Form CB1
For further information please contact the Child Benefit Section of the Department of Social Protection:
- Telephone 00353 (0)74 916 4400 or Local 1890 400 400

I decided to try green smoothies after realizing I wasn't getting nearly enough vegetables in my clean-eating diet – particularly dark leafy greens. I could see in my calorie tracker that I was woefully low on vitamin K, and it was time to face up to the fact that I was a fruit addict who didn't eat many salads!
But why not eat loads of vegetables? Dark leafy greens are truly an elixir of good health. They're full of vitamins (particularly folate, which promotes heart health and cancer prevention), minerals, fiber, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. Dark leafy greens may even help lower your cancer risk, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research [1]. Not only that, but dark leafy greens have a relatively low-calorie and carb content and low glycemic load, beneficial to those wanting to lose weight or simply maintain their weight.
As a newcomer to green smoothies, I wondered if a shake full of spinach would taste bitter and rank. But after diving in and experimenting with various ingredients, I discovered that green smoothies are delicious and help fulfill the recommended daily allowance of vegetables, too. The USDA's ChooseMyPlate website recommends at least three to four servings of dark green leafy vegetables per week and four to six vegetable servings a day. I probably wasn't getting that much, even though I eat very healthy.
So I was happy to find that while green smoothies include nutrient-dense greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard, they taste more like the other ingredients you add, such as pear, mango, pineapple, or banana.
Add green smoothies in your meal rotation to supplement your snacks, breakfasts, or lunches.
Planting a Green Smoothie Garden
Not only is planting your own leafy greens convenient and organic, it saves money! You can pick what you need during warm months and store the greens in the freezer for organic winter smoothies. Some plants, like chard, are perennials and will come back for several years.
This year we planted kale, spinach, and parsley. Of course, you can use these in salads too!
How to Make a Green Smoothie
The varieties of green smoothies are truly endless. The secret is in using a water-soluble fruit to provide creaminess and sweetness (see the list below). Incidentally, you can also put leafy green stalks in your smoothie, not just the leaves. (Just make sure you have a high-powered blender if you do.)
Add ingredients in this order: Liquids, fruit, and greens. Don't mix the greens too long or their nutrients will break down. If this is your first green smoothie, try adding a bit more fruit than greens at first. Then, as you get more experienced, use about half greens and half fruit.
Base: Water, unsweetened almond milk, green tea, coconut water (or plain water), plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
Healthy fats: Chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almond, cashew or peanut butter (careful when adding whole nuts; they can be hard to grind), coconut oil
Fruit (fresh and/or frozen): To ensure proper texture and flavor, include at least one kind of fruit that is high in soluble fiber, such as banana, mango, orange, peach, pear, or kiwi. Then add other fruit, like blueberries, strawberries (with leaves!), watermelon, avocado, apple, pineapple, etc. Berries will turn the smoothie brown but it's still tasty and nutritious.
Dark greens: Kale, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, dark green leafy lettuce (like Romaine or watercress), beetroot greens, bok choy, cabbage, mesclun, Italian parsley
- Low-carb version: Leave out the banana.
- High-protein version: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Green Smoothie Recipe
Add the following to a blender and mix until smooth:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
½ ripe avocado
1 small banana (leave out for low-carb smoothie)
Then add:
2 tbsp parsley (optional)
2-3 handfuls baby spinach
3-4 ice cubes

Dream, are you a dreamer?
I feel like doing a participatory post today, so we'll see how it goes.
Last night Keith and I missed a memo, but gladly ended up spending some spontaneous time chatting with the two pastors of Mosaic Church, a new church in Birmingham that is a great friend to Bedouins.
These guys are some of the most energetic dreamers I have ever met. Especially considering that they aren't college students. One of the ways that they are dreaming for the church and for the city is the idea of creating businesses to sustain administrative costs so that 100% of tithes go to missions and serving. Their ideas include a business that delivers fresh breakfast to offices around the city, and a coffe shop/book store/movie theatre (I contributed the movie theatre part :) because Bham needs an independent theatre). Their heart is not just to support the church through businesses, but also to bring life an community back to the downtown area of the city. I think they're some pretty cool dreams. And even just the conversation spurred on so many more…such as hosting a weekly summer film night where people gather, possibly on the roof of a loft, to watch movies and discuss them afterwards. Because of the knowledge that conversation spurs on ideas and dreams, they meet with people from the church every week to brainstorm about dreams and ideas, and how to turn them into reality.
I think persistent idealism pays off. I've seen it. I hope that I'm part of it. I have friends who have dropped everything to chase a dream of starting a hostel in Europe. And it's happening. And another who moved to Asia to start a coffee shop. Also happening. What about the friend who went to India to minister to kids and now is the proud mama of 45 of them. Bedouins and Redeemer were also born as dreams. How sweet is it to imagine the father planting dreams in our hearts as seeds, knowing that He will fulfill them! I think for these reasons, it is right to encourage dreaming. It's also right to expect things to not be easy and simple, and to not fear failure. It's so important to trust God with our dreams, and hold with loose hands. He is sovereign and ALL of his ways are good.
So I thought it would be fun to confess our dreams…
Keith and I would love to start a home school co op some day, teaching our friends kids as they teach ours. Exploring the world together. With a high standard of education and community and learning and creativity. I'd also love to teach overseas sometime. Did I mention I dream of teaching?
But sometimes I want to pursue photography and not look back.
Anyone want to sell everything, buy a R.V. a travel around America for a while?
My two book ideas include 1. Taking a year to visit an incredibly large spectrum of churches, from megahuge mega rich ones, to those little mysterious shack type ones you see driving in the middle of no where; Every denomination, part of the country etc. I'm fairly certain that I would learn enough to fill a book. And my thesis would come after the experience. And 2. Writing a compilation of my journals someday for my grandkids…if I'm that lucky.
I dream of living on the same street as our family and friends. I'm not afraid to leave, but I selfishly want all the people I love to live daily life with me.
I want to hear your dreams…

I talked to someone (Warden?) about how cool it would be to open up a bakery/deli/coffee shop in the corner store that just closed near our house. Of course, now that Jane's done that, it sounds kind of cliche. But I still dream of baking.
I don't have any big dreams right now. Can you be too satisfied to dream?

Can you be too satisfied to dream? I dont know. but it makes me happy that you're satisfied enough to ask that question.

I dream of traveling around this country and the world, living off the beaten path. In little towns outside of the cities. Living among people different from myself. Doing small things with great love.
I dream of giving my life sacrificially to an orphanage in central america.
I dream of staying here and loving my God and my neighbors with everything I have in hopes of seeing the Kingdom come.
Great post!

HARTFORD – House Republican Leader Themis Klarides and State Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria praised the unanimous passage of legislation that eliminated good time credits for convicts who were sentenced for serious felonies prior to 1994.
The legislation was inspired by a case in which a Seymour man convicted of murdering Joyce Stochmal in 1984 when she was 19, was released from prison in March. The measure was adopted unanimously by the House late Monday night.
"The tragic case of Joyce Stochmal brought renewed attention to the flaws in our criminal justice statutes which allowed her convicted murderer to get out of prison before he should have. The grief that Joyce's family has suffered through for the last 33 years was compounded this year with the release of her killer,'' Klarides said. "We felt the need to address those flaws that allowed some convicts to be awarded good time credit.
"Letting convicted murders walk from prison for good time credits is unacceptable," added Klarides-Ditria. "Joyce's killer should have never been given the opportunity to receive good time credits, and this legislation will prevent this situation from happening to other victim's families. We are making sure that the victim's families are coming first with this bill today."
Those convicted of certain crimes prior to 1994 have been able to accumulate the credit. Laws were changed in 1995 and good time credit was replaced by the Risk Reduction program. Good time credit still applied to anyone incarcerated prior to 1995.
David Weinberg, 58, was sentenced to 60 years to life for the murder, but under an agreement with the prosecutors, he was released in March after serving more than 26 years. He accumulated enough good time credits behind bars which effectively brought his time in jail to nearly 40 years, or roughly two-thirds of his original sentence.
The Stochmal family was stunned to find out that Weinberg was going to be released.

MICHAEL BLACK, PETITIONER,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Milton I. Shadur Senior United States District Judge
This Court has just received the most recent submission from Michael Black ("Black"), who continues his pro se post-conviction efforts to obtain relief from the 168-month sentence imposed by this Court some eight years ago (on June 6, 1999).*fn1 This time Black captions his submission "Petitioner's Writ of Audita Querela," hoping that his thus-labeled request will not run afoul of the prohibition against successive motions under 28 U.S.C. §2255.
But in doing so, even though Black says he recognizes the limitations on the issuance of such a writ (on that score he cites our Court of Appeals' affirmance of this Court's denial of the writ in United States v. Johnson, 962 F.2d 579 (7th Cir. 1992)), he impermissibly attempts to use that vehicle to urge the retroactivity of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005) and Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004) to ...

Rapture Bashers
In response to this weekend's release of the "Left Behind" remake starring Nicholas Cage (which I haven't seen yet at the time of this writing), my Facebook News Feed has been flooded with negative comments. Many of which were posted even before the movie hit the theaters!
The criticism of "Left Behind" has mostly been about it depicting the aftermath of the rapture. Some Christians believe there won't be a rapture at all. One Facebook friend went so far as to label those who preach a pre-tribulation rapture "heretics." That's a strong accusation considering that would include Tim LaHaye (the co-author of the original "Left Behind" series), Perry Stone, John Hagee, Hal Lindsey, Jack Van Impe and numerous other men of God.
For the sake of time and to discourage online debates on the subject, I will avoid explaining in this article why I believe in a pre-trib rapture of the church. However, I need to point out a few things to any rapture bashers reading this. First of all, not all pre-trib believers are passively waiting around to escape the tribulation. Jesus said in Luke 19:13 (KJV), "Occupy till I come." We should expect the Lord to return at any moment but be prepared to live out the rest of our lives on this earth.
Secondly, belief in a pre-trib rapture is not an endorsement to live an unconsecrated lifestyle. If anything, the pending rapture should motivate Christians to pursue holiness (Hebrews 12:14). Imagine how embarrassed you would feel if the Lord returned while you were getting drunk in a bar or sleeping with someone that wasn't your spouse. Those sins might cause professing believers to miss the rapture.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." The word rapture originated from the Latin word "raeptius", which was translated from the Greek word for "caught up" ("harpazo") in verse 17. Harpazo means "to carry off," "snatch up," or "take away."
Another popular argument against the rapture is that Christians in years past have suffered and been martyred for their faith. That's poor reasoning when you consider there are believers today (mostly in the 10/40 Window) being imprisoned, tortured, and even beheaded. Whether or not the Lord continues to tarry, I believe we will see increased persecution in the U. S. and other Western nations.
For those of you who strongly feel the modern-day church should go through the tribulation, why not set an example right now? You could move to a Muslim-controlled country and show the rest of us how we should respond to real persecution.
As for myself, I will not let rapture bashers rob me of the crown available for those who long for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:8). In the meantime, I will continue preaching the gospel here in America and wherever else the Lord sends me until I die or hear the trumpet call to heaven. I also pray the new "Left Behind" movie will be used as a tool to bring many sinners to salvation before the Second Coming.
One of the weakest reasons critics denounce the catching away of the saints is because the word "rapture" isn't found in the Bible. The word "trinity" isn't in Scripture either yet most Christians agree the Godhead is a three-part being (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). The word "Bible" is also not part of God's word but can be found on the cover and added notes by the translators.
"looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ" - Titus 2:13

Dignitas - Death For a Price
Here's a story from across the pond that's a bit chilling. I found this on BBC's website today:
Renowned British conductor Sir Edward Thomas Downes, CBE, has died at the age of 85, after travelling to the assisted suicide clinic Dignitas with his wife.
He and his 74-year-old wife Joan, who was terminally ill, chose to end their lives at the Swiss clinic, their family said in a statement.
Downes was in failing health and his ballerina wife was going to die. They chose to go to Dignitas in Switzerland where they died.
Assisted suicide in the US is synonymous with Dr. Jack Kevorkian. But he's not the only one on a mission to give people a way to end a painful life or avoid an excruciatingly painful or slow death.
Dignitas bills itself as a humane and professional alternative for people with serious physical or mental illnesses. They claim to have an extensive screening process and, right up until the last moment, continue to offer the client the option of changing his or her mind.
A nurse who has since left tells another story - a horrifying saga of attempted suicides gone wrong, lingering deaths, offers to kill family members as well if they'd take the death of a loved one too hard, squalid, sordid conditions and a bottom line profit motivation.
Assisted suicide frightens me. Whenever you take a decision to die out of the direct control of a person and hand it to a 'professional', you've made dying a money maker. Anything done for profit is likely to become corrupt. And it's such a very short step from assisted suicide to murder, isn't it?
I am conflicted about suicide. My Catholic parents were completely against it; they didn't want to spend eternity in Hell. Yet my mother's final six weeks of agony made me seriously wish she (or I) could end it for her. I was shocked at myself, but how can you watch someone you love suffer the equivalent of torture and not want to make it stop?
My uncle has been a Hemlock Society member from way back. I don't know if he'd truly do it or if he's a theoretical supporter of the right to die. I know his view appalled his brother, my dad. It actually made sense to me.
It must take tremendous courage to decide to end your life in a calm, rational state. I think Richard Farnsworth did it right. The actor was in great pain with bone cancer. He knew he faced an increasingly painful life and slow death. He went outside and shot himself. That final choice, that final moment, had him entirely in control. He wasn't in a setting where anyone else could influence him, even unconsciously. He was free at any moment to change his mind.
How do I feel about suicide, assisted or otherwise? I still have ingrained in me the words "selfish", "cowardly", "wrong" when I think about it. But there's a rational part of me that can understand that sometimes death is the more attractive choice. I've seen suffering. I can understand.
But Dignitas is incorporated death. That, I believe, is very, very dangerous. And worthy of discussion, because this is reality and we must, as a human community, decide whether this is what we want in our world.

On the surface, it seems wrong to me that this would be a corporate issue. It seems like such a personal matter. I know people that would not want to be kept alive by machines simply to be kept physically alive. And I know that I would rather not have the burden of deciding whether to keep a family member alive or pull the plug.

It's a totally loaded issue, dad. I agree it's completely personal, and it just gives me the creeps to think of a business based on profiting from human death. We already have military businesses, but this is going a step further.
I don't have a good answer, as anything I think of has a compelling counter argument.
But it does seem barbaric to force people to stay alive when in many instances we can't even manage to eliminate their pain.
With all the advances in science, the best we have to offer terminally ill patients is morphine?
My mother died in a total morphine fog, and yet the expression on her face made it clear she was in pain.
I was angry and I was helpless to do anything at all.
We treat our pets better.
