Urban Studies
The urban studies major provides a broadly interdisciplinary understanding of how urban dynamics shape both global interdependence and local spaces. The major stresses the way in which cities and communities are critical to the organization of economic, social, and cultural activities that shape and transform human experiences. Students can take full advantage of the College's strong and diverse academic resources in the urban field through courses at the Trinity campus and local partner schools, community learning in Hartford, study-away opportunities in international cities, as well as internships in a variety of urban settings.
The Urban Studies Program's learning goals can be found
To complete the major, students will take a total of at least 12 courses and:
Urban Architecture and the Built Environment:
This cluster focuses upon the role of architecture, planning, and infrastructure in shaping the social and built environment of cities and urban space through art history, history, classics, engineering, and the Cities Program at Trinity.
Urban Culture, History, Society, and Economy:
This cluster includes different paths for creating an urban-focused concentration of four courses. In consultation with their adviser, students may shape a cluster with a social science or humanities focus or thread these two strands together with courses in urban history, urban sociology, and urban economics.
Environmental Policy and Sustainable Urban Development:
This cluster provides students with a focal understanding of critical topics and issues, including environmental degradation, the ecological footprint of cities, relationships between cities and climate change, urban political ecology, renewable energy, and sustainable urban development. This cluster builds on courses in environmental science and public policy as well as selected policy- or environment-focused courses with urban content in anthropology, economics, and political science.
Core courses:
Capstone Senior Project/Thesis:
Students must complete an integrating exercise that synthesizes earlier urban studies work in the major through URST 401, unless they choose to get honors in the major which will require them to complete a one-semester thesis through URST 497, or a two-semester thesis through URST 498 (fall) and URST 499 (spring).
Community Learning Initiative: What is community learning? At Trinity, we define it as a type of experiential learning, an academic course in which the faculty member works in partnership with a person or group from the local community to involve students in an experience they could not get in the classroom alone. Our community learning program involves almost all of our academic departments, more than 80 community organizations, and about half of our students.
Levy Urban Curricular Fund: The Steven D. Levy '72 Fund for Urban Curricular Programs supports student investigations of a broad range of key urban issues confronting humankind in the 21st century. Of special interest are projects that highlight the urban realities of the city of Hartford. Examples of such issues include diasporic communities, educational and health policy, residential segregation, environmental problems, urban art/culture, human rights, and the creation and maintenance of public spaces (both physical and social).
Grossman Global Studies Fund: The Kenneth S. Grossman '78 Global Studies Fund, established in honor of Professor Eugene E. Leach, supports student investigations of global issues that confront humankind in the 21st century. Examples of such issues include human rights, peacekeeping, the preservation of the ecosphere, migrations and diasporas, international health standards, and the consequences of revolutionary advances in information technology and bioengineering.
Tanaka Research Fund: In 2002 Trinity was awarded a generous grant by the Tanaka Memorial Foundation establishing an endowed fund to allow students to pursue formal research projects abroad, with a special focus on Asia, during the months of July and August. Typically, one grant, ranging from $3,000 to $4,000 in total, is awarded each year for the proposal deemed most feasible and relevant to the wider academic interests of the applicant.
Davis Projects for Peace: Davis Projects for Peace is an initiative for all students at the Davis United World College Scholars Program schools to design their own grassroots projects for peace that they themselves will implement anywhere in the world during the summer months. Through a competition on more than 90 campuses, 100 projects will be selected for funding at $10,000 each.
Study Away:
River Cities in China: For ten years, the Center for Urban and Global Studies has taken students to cities in China (and, on several occasions, Southeast Asia) for an intensive summer course that investigates critical historical, socioeconomic, and environmental questions confronting the river cities of the region. Studying these dynamic cities offers urban studies students a fascinating way to glimpse and access the various facets of sustainable urban development. The program carries 1.5 course credits and .5 in Chinese language credit through the initial classroom learning and field visits in Hartford and subsequent traveling instruction by Trinity professors and local experts.
Technos Japan Tour: One faculty or staff member and two students are invited for a two-week trip to Japan to participate in Technos International Week held in Tokyo every year in June. Technos International Week is an event organized by Technos International College of Japan. Its goal is to promote international exchange and understanding between the international guests and the members of the host institution, as well as to offer the guest group the opportunity to experience and appreciate Japanese life and culture.
Honors: To receive honors in Urban Studies a student must complete a one-semester or a two-semester thesis with a grade of A- or better and earn a GPA of at least 3.5 in courses counted toward the major.

Harvard takes a remote backseat though, as Leo (Brad Davis) chases after Jessica (Karen Allen) while buddy Nick (Jameson Parker) also nurses a crush on her. Leo is in journalism, or wants to be, Jessica paints but she is leaning toward law school, and Nick is a solid, steady pre-med student. Their relationship takes a serious turn when Leo's number comes up on the Vietnam draft. Nick makes his feelings known to Jessica and whether it seems like a good idea or not, she suggests that the three of them move in together. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Unless I'm overlooking something, this is her fourth Oscar nomination for a Best Picture nominee. And yet...it's still basically Meryl having another solo triumph, because the only other nomination the movie has is Best Picture.
In the Bedroom, The Hours, The Queen, Amour, Philomena, Fences, The Post, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
These are the only films starring actresses over 50 which were nominated since Streep turned 50. She starred in two of them. One could argue she was not an obvious choice for The Queen, Amour, Philomena, Fences and Three Billboards. That leaves In the Bedroom as the only one she could have been in and wasn't.
She doesn't appear in Oscar nominated films because there aren't any she could be in. Name one major film made by a major American director in the last 20 years she could have starred in. It's not like Lange, Spacek, Weaver and Close are regularly working with Scorsese, Tarantino or even the disgraced Allen recently. So Streep usually is relegated to films made by the phyllida Lloyds of this world. The Oscars simply seldom make passes at films with older girls who wears reading glasses.

It can be hard to find excellent info about jewellery. The sheer amount of jewellery details accessible can make it all seem to be not value the effort. We have integrated only the most pertinent suggestions in this write-up so you can use them to your circumstance quickly.
Keep your whole jewellery selection glowing with a polishing cloth. This will give your jewellery glow and luster without the use of possibly hazardous chemical substances. Buff your jewelry with the two-sided cloth, just as if you ended up cleaning a glass. Use a two-sided fabric to clear your jewellery, a single for sharpening, and the other for shining.

Transforming The Skin Care Industry with Amaranth Oil
Over the past 5 years or so, you've probably seen a large influx of beauty products with jojoba, argan and maracuja oil. While all of these oils can be beneficial, there is another oil largely overlooked by the skin care industry: Amaranth Oil.
The nutritional components of Amaranth Oil are not often seen in nature, let alone in one individual oil. In fact, there are very few products on the market that have harnessed its powerful antioxidants. Why? It's pretty simple, not many people are aware of how beneficial this ingredient can be to their beauty products.
This provides a competitive advantage for skin care companies who see the potential Amaranth Oil has, and takes advantage of the market before it becomes saturated.
Amaranth Oil has is such a diverse ingredient that it can be added to virtually almost any beauty product you can think of. Its list of benefits are a mile long, making it a great multi-tasking oil that treats, prevents, and heals many of our common beauty ailments. Below, we'll go over the most common beauty products that you can use Amaranth Oil in and how it positively impacts them.
Using Amaranth Oil in Lotions
Loaded with natural tocopherols (from vitamin E) Amaranth Oil is very nourishing and hydrating to the skin. Tocopherol is a powerful antioxidant with properties that help block free radicals from the body, which can lead to premature aging. This makes Amaranth Oil a great ingredient to add to night creams, anti-aging moisturizers, and even facial serums.
More so, Amaranth Oil also contains omega 6 essential fatty acids that help with moisture retention of the skin. Dry skin loses moisture very quickly, and Amaranth Oil helps seal in hydration for hours of relief. Because of this, it's a great oil for those who suffer from eczema, dermatitis, and even psoriasis. It's prescription strength hydration in a convenient, over-the-counter form.
Using Amaranth Oil in Shampoo & Conditioner
Deficiencies of linoleic acid have been linked to hair loss as it is a key nutrient needed for proper hair re-generation. It helps strengthen your strands, repairs dead ends, and hydrates your scalp. Plus, it is a common nutrient found in Amaranth Oil! Because of that, Amaranth Oil is the perfect oil to be added to hair products such as shampoo, conditioner, and leave in treatments.
Amaranth Oil is also rich in calcium, which is essential for healthy locks as well. It helps strengthen hair fibers, which allows for less breakage throughout the day. Strong, healthy hair will grow longer and shinier if it is rich in calcium.
Using Amaranth Oil in Stretch Mark Creams
Amaranth Oil restores elasticity to the skin, which is a key need for the skin as it ages. Because it helps the skin to have increased elasticity, it's great for pregnancy and post pregnancy stretch marks. Amaranth Oil will help soothe, heal, and add moisture to stretch marks, helping to reduce their appearance.
This particular oil is also high in magnesium, which is great for skin texture, keeping it supple, and well moisturized. Since stretch marks are essentially scars, they can be bumpy and uneven. Amaranth Oil helps restore the skin so that it is smooth and youthful again.
Using Amaranth Oil in Facial Mask
There are many different facial masks on the market, many of which contain anti-aging ingredients like glycolic acid or retinol. Ingredients like these work wonders for aging skin, but can leave your skin dryer than normal. Adding Amaranth Oil to the product can add lasting hydration to masks, even long after they have been rinsed off.
Plus, Amaranth Oil is high in squalene, which is a super nutrient that can help prevent UV damage, age spots, and can promote cell growth. In particular, this is what makes it such a desirable ingredient to add to a mask because it gives consumers the change to have spa-like results in the comfort of their own homes.
Amaranth Oil is also packed with potassium, which helps balance your electrolytes. This helps your skin cells stay hydrated longer, which in turn provides plump, glowing skin. Amaranth Oil has many functions that are a great addition to any mask!
Using Amaranth Oil in Lip Conditioner
Dry, cracked lips can be quite unsightly, but they don't have to stay that way. Amaranth Oil is also a handy addition to lip balm because of its reparative nature. It helps restore your lips to their natural luster, by treating and healing them.
Also, having a high percentage of squalene, Amaranth is an oil that rapidly penetrates the skin, without leaving a greasy film behind. Because it absorbs so quickly, you can apply it multiple times throughout the day until your lips are back to normal.
Using Amaranth Oil on Nails, Hands & Feet
Some of the driest skin on our bodies are on our hands and our feet. They lose the most moisture because we're constantly touching surfaces that absorb some of our skin's natural oils, making these areas lose hydration faster than usual.
Amaranth Oil is great for dry cuticles and brittle nails too. It instantly works to help relieve the dry skin and make it look fresh and well-manicured. It's also particularly beneficial for cracked hands, feet, and calluses because of its high moisture content. This makes it a great candidate for hand cream, feet cream, and cuticle oil.
Using Amaranth Oil for Acne
Acne can be really stubborn and there is a big market for treatment products as most people have suffered from it at least once in their lives. Amaranth Oil is great for acne prone skin, because it contains linoleic acid which is anti-inflammatory. This makes it a great oil to help reduce the appearance of acne, and to help heal old pimples more quickly.
Since those who suffer from acne often complain of oily skin, it's also important that acne products aren't greasy, which again makes Amaranth Oil a great fit. And lastly, the squalene in Amaranth Oil helps it to have anti-bacterial properties, which helps it kill any bacteria in your pores.
Amaranth Oil is truly one of the best, multi-functional beauty oils on the market at this time. There are no other oils that can compete with its high squalene content and versatility!

DUP peer Maurice Morrow has called on Rosemary Barton to clarify if she is supporting her party leader Mike Nesbitt's voting position or standing by the stance of her colleague Danny Kennedy.
The Fermanagh and South Tyrone candidate highlighted it was the DUP Nesbitt turned to in 2015 to ensure Tom Elliott was elected MP, and not the SDLP.
"Mike Nesbitt's announcement that he is going to vote SDLP in preference to voting for other Unionist candidates is the clearest evidence yet that he is unfit to be a Unionist leader.
"In advocating support for the SDLP in preference to other Unionist candidates he is supporting Same Sex Marriage, and a united Ireland.
"He is advocating support for the leader of the SDLP who showed public sympathy with a dissident republican terrorist by carrying his coffin; and he is advocating support for a political party who want to see police officers and soldiers prosecuted, whilst terrorist receive an immunity."

60 and 100 Liter Institutional Cookstoves
Our centerpiece technologies are highly efficient, multi-application, institutional rocket stoves. InStoves simultaneously help protect human health, prevent deforestation and pollution, and can boost economies with local production. They can also quickly and efficiently provide safe drinking water and medical sterilization with our drop-in pasteurization and autoclave systems.
In comparison to the inefficient - and often dangerous - traditional cooking methods they improve upon, InStoves are:
High Performance
- 75 to 90 percent fuel savings. Two or three kilograms of fuel is enough to cook a full pot of food.
- 90%-plus reduction in harmful emissions, including carbon monoxide and black carbon. InStoves produce no visible smoke.
- Twice as fast as cooking on an open fire – comparable to LPG.
- 50% thermal efficiency, a 2 to 5 times improvement over traditional methods.
- Zero Indoor Air Pollution, thanks to an integrated chimney that can route all emissions outside and away from people.
- Safe to the touch. Efficient, insulated design ensures safe surface temperatures to prevent burns.
- Stable. Practically tip-proof to reduce the chance of spills and scalds.
- Fuel flexibility. Efficient operation with a variety of biomass fuels in addition to wood, including our sustainable biomass briquettes.
- Durable. InStoves are expected to last 10 years with replaceable parts, and all stoves come with a 1 year warranty.
- Cost-effective. Our cookstoves can pay for themselves many times over in fuel savings, alone.
- Portable. No permanent installation is required, making InStoves easy to transport and relocate.
- Local manufacturing can be set up anywhere in the world with our Factory-in-a-Box production method.
Click here to learn more about InStove features and performance.
How it Works: Rocket Stove Technology
At the heart of these stoves is an advanced, insulated metal combustion chamber built from high-temperature 310 stainless steel and 601 nickel alloys. The "rocket stove" design concentrates heat and mixes combustion gasses to create operating temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius, which allows the stoves to literally "burn up the smoke." This produces a fire that is cleaner and more efficient than is possible otherwise. In fact, we believe testing shows our institutional stoves to be unparalleled in performance.
Official, third party test results are available here.
For Some Perspective
In a single year, a 100 Liter InStove can save the equivalent of:
- 146 tons of atmospheric carbon - or the carbon footprint of 8 average Americans.
- 97 tons of firewood - equivalent to 1.9 acres of clear cut forest.
- 362 Megawatt hours of energy - as much as is contained in 213 barrels of crude oil.
Click here for more information about the impact InStoves are making on our planet.
Allied Technologies
We've coupled our high-efficiency stoves with several supporting technologies to help solve other critical public health problems, including:
- Making safe and accessible drinking water with our pasteurization system.
- Sterilization of medical instruments and safe medical waste disposal through our hospital-grade autoclave system.
- Creation of sustainable alternative cooking fuel from waste products with our hand-powered biomass briquette press.

Beware: there is a whole new host of dirty words hitting the American language this week.
Social media is exploding with an assault on everything majority; Trump and his evangelical followers are at the forefront of that battle right now. As a white, middle-class, evangelical American woman, I am certain I'm not allowed to breathe out loud, let alone have an actual opinion.
Never being one to follow the rules…
We are a house divided. This will come as no surprise for those of you that know us intimately; there could be no greater difference in personality than there is in this marriage. Where he is an engineer (Analytical, methodical, apathetic even), I am a counselor (Contemplative, empathetic, relational). As you might imagine, impasse occurs with alarming regularity. It was no different with our vote. He vehemently voted popular republican, I voted neither in good conscience and with a healthy understanding that my vote would not be heard.
Disbelief has been the golden thread throughout this election season for many, myself included. From the moment that it was announced that Trump was actually in the presidential race there was shock, confusion, and a sense of surreality. To be honest, I thought it was a joke, a publicity stunt for a new reality show maybe… Turns out we are waking from our deep sleep and torment is our new reality. Many of us were bombarded with a certain feeling of cynicism coupled with unmistakeable grief at the news that our new president elect was in fact Donald Trump.
The day after the election as I was driving my children to school my son made a comment about immigrants in America. Speaking the incomplete knowledge of a fourteen year old espousing the indoctrination of his youth culture, my only response was a caution toward his belief system: "You only believe that to be true because you are a white male, born and raised in the PacNW." It's not that what he said was wrong, right, or even the slightest bit disparaging; my counsel was just to be aware of where he gained that belief…
The same caution needs to be spoken during this time of trepidation in our country: religion, politics, behavior, and even science falls prey to subjectivity. Perceptions and perspectives are intricate compilations of multiple points of input, of story, and of experience.
So often we speak what we believe to be true without examining the history behind that belief.
In the wake of the announcement of the new president elect, white evangelicals have come under radical fire. Truthfully, I believe, the critique that the majority are facing is long overdue. That said, I fail to see how being contemptuous toward ANY people group is rationalized. Then again, that is said from the perspective of extreme introspection; from a mind who readily acknowledges that I have been influenced by experience, education, religion, ethnicity, majority even.
Can we expect, (or even demand), that grace, generosity, "okay-ness" with differences can be extended toward all groups? What if "they" as a people group have different ethics? In a perfect world, my opinion is in the affirmative; but, as we are more than aware, human depravity abounds. The age-old question comes to the forefront: what is the foundational expectation of behavior, morale, and narrative of our culture? Can we really maintain that Americans as a people group should create any sort of continuity within ourselves?
But isn't that what creates a people group or culture itself? The willingness of a group to say yes to common beliefs, behaviors, and ways of being.
Perhaps the deeper question is not, "Who's most wrong (i.e.: Trump)/Which group do we place blame on for this confusing state of affairs (i.e.: Evangelists)?" But rather, to which people group does our morale align with? Where do we resonate? How do we find confidence in our tribe, give space, meanwhile maintaining compassion for differences of belief? We are SCREAMING for attention (ahem…riots in Portland, anyone?!), taking (or at least trying to take) action for refugee populations, those in minority, and ultimately for ourselves; in our attempt to right our deeply engraved wrongs are we engaging in group think and creating the same rage narrative?
It's worth the ask of the self. Why? Why do you believe what you do? How is blaming anyone possibly going to assuage the discomfort and fear that is felt?
Or don't you know that your rage, your frustration, your own narrative is simply reflective of a few thousand years of decision making, of exposure….of culture? That had you been raised in another state, another family, within any number of seemingly inconsequential variables your entire perception of truth would be completely altered.
Maybe our new golden thread of Americanism can be the binding of a nation that recognizes that we have caused great harm, and that the redemption of our people is in our own acquiescence to humility and apology, in our ability to offer space for differentness…including our own. A lofty consideration, I know.
I am a white, evangelical, American woman. Is it ok that I am grieving too?

There's no valid reason for any private citizens to own assault weapons. But I'm very much in favor of handguns with efficient screening.Delete
It would seriously freak me out if I knew that most people around me owned a gun. The human element is just too unpredictable!ReplyDeleteReplies
I guess I'm not uncomfortable with guns in the house--I feel safer with one close at hand--because I grew up with them. My dad was a sharpshooter. He emphasized gun safety, though.Delete
It is a curious thing. The offering of thoughts and prayers, whether sincerely meant or not, has been an acceptable response to terror attacks for as long as I can remember. Why is it suddenly a no-no? Is this a new PC edict?ReplyDelete

Thank you, Lynn, for being the only one (so far) who's responded to the question I asked.Delete
Me too.
Maybe they are praying for the wrong thing. We best pray for the NRA, and those who find their reasoning sound for owning several guns and enough amo to wipe out half a town... oh and those who agree with them.ReplyDeleteReplies
I considered buying Collin a handgun for Christmas.Delete
I grew up in the West, certain people need guns, ranchers, farmers, any outdoor workers out in the country now. Especially where I live. There is no need for assault rifles.ReplyDelete
And yes I agree we have turned our back on God. We don not think there is any higher being but ourselves, money and power.
But I also think that when religion becomes the main factor in our lives to
the determent of other, keeps us apart and thinking we are the one true religion (I am looking at you Muslims) and you are either one of us or better off dead that is taking religion too far. People who use religion as a weapon.
I will not buy a gun but I am going to take a class on how to use a gun.
cheers, parsnipReplies
To accept that there is a God and we will have to answer to Him is to accept our flaws, shortcomings and mistakes. Humans don't like that. It's easier to not believe and escape accountability.Delete
I think the danger is when religion becomes distorted and used by extremists to justify their personal causes.

LRT from Bayshore to Orleans part of city's transit plan
35 km of new track planned for city's rail system, including 4 new stations in Orleans
MAP LEGEND | Navy blue: New rail stations, Green: Current rail stations, Light blue: New bus lanes
A second stage of light rail projects including 35 kilometres of new track and 19 new stations will dominate Ottawa's transportation future, Mayor Jim Watson revealed this morning.
Watson addressed city councillors and residents Wednesday in advance of the city's updated transportation master plan, which will be tabled at a joint transportation committee and transit commission meeting at 3 p.m.
The total cost of the plan is expected to be within $2.5 billion and be finished by 2023, Watson said, adding the provincial and federal governments would have to match the city's contribution to fund the plans.
One of the key points, Watson boasted, is that every resident of Orleans would live within five kilometres of light rail with four new stations: St. Joseph, Jeanne D'Arc, Orleans Drive and Place d' Orleans.
"This is a realistic, affordable, effective plan that would move up light rail projects an entire generation and create a true rallying point for our council, our residents and other levels of government," the mayor said.
"By using light rail as a smart growth tool, the city, businesses and communities can better plan for the future together."
Extended Transitway, O-Train stations planned
Here are other light rail and road plans for each area of the city:
- East | Rail line extending new Confederation line, set to be finished in 2018, from Blair station to Place d'Orleans. That is in addition to road networks: Blackburn Hamlet Bypass extension and Brian Coburn Boulevard extension.
- West | Rail line extending Confederation from Tunney's Pasture station west to Bayshore Shopping Centre and south to Baseline station. Also a new Transitway to Moodie Drive and a new "busway" along March Road to Terry Fox Drive, plus a new four-lane road on Campeau Drive and the widening of both Carp and Old Richmond/West Hunt Club roads along Campeau.
- South | Expanded O-Train service with five additional rail stations at Gladstone, Walkley, South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville, with intersection modifications along Prince of Wales, a widening of the Airport Parkway from Brookfield to Hunt Club, the widening of Strandherd Drive for the creation of a new business park and the Greenbank Road extension between Cambrian and Jockvale.
Other plans for Ottawa's transportation future include:
- Construction of the Richmond Road underground corridor for western light rail.
- Bridge from Donald Street in Vanier to Somerset Street East in Sandy Hill.
- Prince of Wales bridge to Gatineau for cyclists and pedestrians.
- Improvements to East-West Bikeway from Vanier to Westboro.
- Construction of Nepean Trail and other local cycling routes to connect neighbourhoods from Greenboro to Fisher Heights and Billings Bridge.
- More winter maintenance of downtown cycling pathways to encourage more seasonal cycling.
The city will hold four public information sessions on the transportation master plan between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.: Oct. 15 at City Hall (downtown), Oct. 17 at the Kanata Recreation Centre, Oct. 22 at the Walter Baker Sports Centre (Barhaven) and Oct. 24 at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex (Orleans).
Debate on the master plan will take place on Oct. 16 and the draft plan will be considered at transportation committee on Nov. 15.

The same advice from three remarkably different people: Become a Learning Machine.
Charlie Munger says:
I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.
Carol Dweck says:
You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better.
And this tidbit from Susan Cain, also fits:
…identify the tasks or knowledge that are just out of your reach, strive to upgrade your performance, monitor your progress, and revise accordingly.

SBC's Floyd builds grassroots ties in Ethiopia
Baptist Press story today about Ethiopian native Haileyesus Abate's vision for spiritual and humanitarian Southern Baptist ministry in his native country.
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (BP) -- When Ethiopian Airlines transports newly purchased Boeing 777s home from the U.S., the planes are customarily loaded with humanitarian supplies for the independent country that still struggles with poverty despite significant economic advances.
"They talked about ... in their country, about poverty that's existent. They talked about maybe coming to our own country. We've invited them to come," Floyd said, noting a major corporation and a World Trade Center in Arkansas.
Floyd also discussed the importance of religious freedom, biblical marriage between a man and a woman, and the dignity of human life for all, which should result in standing against religious persecution globally.
"I was able to talk to them about holding tight to the line of the biblical Christian worldview," Floyd told BP. "Also, we talked about matters relating to the religious persecution that goes on in the world. I was able to talk to them about religious freedom throughout the world, the evil that's existed in our day relating to all of that, and to really just encourage them to stand strong for the cause of religious liberty."
In promoting a grassroots relationship, Floyd also mentioned such initiatives as adoption, and met separately with evangelical pastors.
Ethiopia is striving to become more sustainable, Gemeda told Floyd, and expressed a deep desire to protect human rights there. Developing friendship with the "friendly United States" could help ensure Ethiopia's growth and advancement, he said.
Teshome agreed with Gemeda in expanding the new relationship, stating that Ethiopia is seeking to improve in the areas of expertise, technology and economics. Expanding Southern Baptist ministry in Ethiopia would hopefully help the country in all areas mentioned, Floyd said.
The majority Christian nation is Africa's oldest independent country and its second most populous. Its leaders have achieved a 33 percent reduction in poverty since 2000, the World Bank notes, with its economic growth averaging 10.9 percent annually since 2000. But as recently as 2010, nearly a third of Ethiopians still suffered poverty. In addition, the country is home to more than 820,000 refugees and asylum seekers from countries including Eritrea, Somalia and South Sudan, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Floyd, pastor of the multi-campus Cross Church in northwest Arkansas, visited Ethiopia Jan. 17-20 with a five-member delegation from his church. Included was global missions minister Doug Sarver, who saw opportunity for humanitarian aid in Ethiopian Airlines' current acquisition of Boeing 777s.
"Think what kind of impact [Southern Baptist churches] could have if we rallied around and said there are 800,000 refugees, Muslims, inside of Ethiopia," Sarver said. "The president, the speaker of the house, the minister of foreign affairs, minister of defense have all said we want your help. The airline says we'll pack out a Boeing 777 with humanitarian supplies from Seattle and ship it over here to Addis Ababa free. Now we just have to use it as a platform for ministry to help people."
Floyd accepted an invitation to visit Ethiopia at the urging of Cross Church layman Haileyesus Abate, an Ethiopian native who has lived in the U.S. nearly 30 years.
"We are so blessed to know that God opened up these incredible doors to minister to the leaders of Ethiopia," Floyd said. "Our trip was beyond description due these significant open doors."

The Republicans wonder why they are slowly becoming irrelevant? Here's the answer.
No matter what the Tea Party does to help the Republican Party, these RINOS steadily insult us. They hate us, and they hate the leaders we send to show them the way. Establishment Republicans are so entrenched in their Liberalism, they don't see the lifeline we constantly throw to them, as they are determined to drown.
Ted Cruz is so hated by some his fellow Republicans that Sen. Ricard Burr (R-NC) told supporters at a fundraiser for his reelection that he will support Bernie Sanders if Cruz wins the Republican nomination.
In this video, Burr has asked for Cruz' comments during the debate to be reviewed for possible leaks of classified data.
As AP reported,
"Cruz has become such a pariah that one of his colleagues, Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, told supporters at a campaign fundraiser for his own re-election that he would vote for liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders for president before Cruz, according to one person who attended the event. Burr did not appear to be joking, said the person, who demanded anonymity to discuss the private gathering."

Stromsoe Insurance Agency
We cannot thank you enough for the ongoing relationship between our agency and the PIIB family. We remain grateful in so many ways. Since we joined forces with PIIB 6 years ago, our business has continued to substantially grow. But being a PIIB member means more than growth. It means incredible leverage with our carrier partners, financial security through the contracts negotiated by PIIB and ultimately results in a better life for my family and the families of my agency teammates. We have been to accomplish goals personally in the last 3 years that would have never been possible if not through the industry relationships leveraged by PIIB. The attitude of gratitude always wins. We just wanted to make sure you knew how grateful we are. If any agency who is considering a relationship with PllB would like to speak with me, please don't hesitate to provide them my contact information.
Sparrow General Insurance Agency – Hermosa Beach, CA
I sleep easy at night knowing I have PIIB on my side. My small Agency would have never had a chance gaining direct appointments to all these quality markets. Thank you PIIB!
Palm Springs, CA
After considerable research and rumination I decided PIIB was the best cluster partnership for the agency. What a great decision—the transfer has been seamless, the PIIB personnel are totally professional and the agency is thriving! A successful cluster relationship inures to both the independent agency and to the cluster!
Radius Business Insurance Experts – Brea, CA
They provide access to relevant carriers. They don't get in the way, this is a minimalist organization and its extremely efficient. Ultra responsive which is a big huge requirment for me and my agency.
McGee & Thielen Insurance Brokers, Inc – Sacramento, CA
Our original Co-Op was charging us $40,000 in fees, and taking 25% of the profit sharing off the top. PIIB offered us a $10,000 fee, and only a 10% take of the profit sharing. Now, I only went to State college, but the math seemed pretty straight forward to me. Also, we liked Larry and the PIIB gang far more, so this one really did fall in the "no-brainer" category. We've been PIIB members for a few years now, and the decision to move just keeps looking like a better and better one all the time.

Rich Pumpkin White Chocolate Cake…in the Microwave!
I've had this recipe on instructables.com bookmarked for a while. It was to make a single-serve brownie in the microwave. I'd sort of forgotten about it, but I realized I wanted to try it, so I did. Unfortunately, we didn't have any cocoa powder in our house, besides Hershey's cocoa. And there were a lot of comments on the website where I got the recipe that said they used Hershey's cocoa to make the brownie and it turned out terrible. So I was turned off using Hershey's, and we had a lot of Peet's cocoa jars sitting on the counter so I thought I could use that – but they were all empty!!!
I decided to just not make a chocolate brownie. I'm not a person who needs every dessert to be chocolate all the time. I'm actually a fan of the less popular, "weird" flavors like strawberry cheesecake ice cream or pretty much anything caramel. I'm also into combining flavors that aren't on the usual list of cliche pairings of ingredients everyone puts together (i.e.: apple and cinnamon, vanilla ice cream and Oreo cookies, etcetera.) So I made a pumpkin cake with white chocolate chips instead of the cocoa. It's not really a brownie because it's not brown, but I wouldn't call it a blondie either. (Maybe it's a redhead!)
I expected the white chocolate chips to melt in the microwave and spread throughout the brownie, but they only got a little softened and mostly stayed in one piece. The main body of the cake turned out to mostly be pumpkin flavored, which was fine with me. It was very rich, and I will definitely be experimenting with more microwave desserts in the future. Here is the recipe for this one:
Rich Pumpkin White Chocolate Microwave Cake
- 4 tbsp flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp Grandma Hoerner's pumpkin butter
- 2 tbsp water
- a tiny bit of salt
- a couple shakes of cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 16 or so white chocolate chips
Add the dry ingredients to a medium-large mug and mix. Then add the pumpkin butter and water. Fold in white chocolate chips, and mix until there are no dry clumps.
Microwave on high for a minute or so. (At first I did a little less than a minute, and it was a consistency closer to thick pudding than a brownie or cake. So I put it in for another 20 or so seconds, and I think that was just a smidge too long because it was a little less moist than I would have preffered. So I should go for somewhere in the middle of those two times the next time I do this. Everyone's microwave is different, so I suggest just using your judgement and cooking for a little shorter than you think at first just in case you don't need as much time in the microwave as you predicted.)
Once you are done microwaving, let cool for a minute or two. The next step is self-explanatory… dig in!
After I had my own cake/brownie/redhead thingamabob, Sam started saying he was hungry. My dad was supposed to be bringing him pizza, but hadn't arrived yet. So I made him a mug brownie using the same recipe, except instead of the pumpkin butter I used peanut butter, and I replaced the white chocolate chips with a couple generous handfuls of semisweet chocolate chips. The chocolate did somewhat melt this time, and looked pretty yummy. However, dad came home with the pizza almost exactly as I finished making the brownie, so it sat ignored in the microwave until my mom tried it. She said she liked it, but couldn't finish it because it was very rich.
My brother declined all offers to dip his own spoon in the peanut butter brownie…until we'd all left the kitchen to move on with our lives. Then he asked my mom, almost in a whisper, "can I try some of the brownie Sabine made?" Mom said sure, and he was off to the kitchen in a flash. Puzzled, I remarked to my mom, "he never tries anything I make," and she said, "there's a first time for everything." Hopefully that wasn't the last time either. I'd like for my brother to be a fan of the stuff I make. He's usually very uninterested in it, but that may turn around…
The Wonderful Smoothie of Oz
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Dorothy who lived in Kansas with her little dog, Toto. One day, she went to a self-serve ice cream parlor. She got a caramel sundae, topped with chocolate chips and caramel sauce. Toto, who was into adding the healthy stuff, threw a pawful of almonds and pecans on top.
"Eww, what are you doing, Toto?" Dorothy cried. "Get your own ice cream if you're gonna want nuts on it." She sighed as her dog ignored her and spooned some banana onto the ice cream. "You ruined the whole thing! Now you're buying." Suddenly, a tornado appeared outside the window of the little shop. All the customers ran into the cellar – except Dorothy. She was too mad at Toto to notice the impending storm. She didn't stop ridiculing him until the entire ice cream parlor was lifted up into the air. Everything was spinning. All the toppings started flying out of their containers and orbiting around the room, and Dorothy put her hand over her ice cream to shield it from the horrid pineapple and kiwi slices that seemed to be aiming for her precious ice cream sundae. A couple peanut butter cups came her way, and she said, "yum," and held out her sundae to let them fall in.
Finally, the building was plopped down in a colorful world like nothing Dorothy had ever seen. When she stepped outside, a burst of sunshine warmed her face, and she saw giant flowers and a spiraling road made of yellow bricks. Toto began barking as some strangers came up to greet them. Dorothy said, "hush," and regarded the offending people – they were three midgets of only three feet tall, dressed in sparkly suits. "We are the munchkins of the land of Oz," they announced in unison, and presented Dorothy with an enormous lollypop. "No thanks," she said. "I was just about to eat this sundae." She looked down at her bowl and was dismayed to find the ice cream had turned to liquid as a result of being sloshed around so much during the twister. Furthermore, the peanut butter cups had been crushed into pieces. "Oh, no! Look what's happened to my sundae!" she moaned. Toto took a lick and began wagging his tail. He allowed the munchkins to take a sip each, one by one. "It's a smoothie!" they declared. They all loved it, and soon everyone in the land of Oz formed a line running down the yellow brick road, each peculiar creature wanted to try the smoothie. When the Wicked Witch of the West caught wind of this smoothie that was putting a smile on everyone's face, she decided to steal it, and take it all for herself. She swooped down on munchkin town and grabbed the smoothie. Since it was so good, taking one sip converted her from wicked to good. Everyone in Oz rejoiced, and told Dorothy that from that day forward, every time there was a chance of a twister she should go to the ice cream shop and make a sundae, so the smoothie could be recreated. But that would be too much trouble, so Dorothy just wrote a recipe for the smoothie and gave it to the people of Oz, so they could make the smoothie whenever they wanted. Here is a rare transcript of the original recipe from so long ago…
Caramel Banana Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 jello pudding caramel sundae flavored pudding cup (it has toppings included, pour those in at the beginning of the blending)
- 1 tbsp chocolate fudge topping
- 1 package Justin's milk chocolate peanut butter cups (found in Whole Foods somewhere near the nutrition bars)
- 4-6 ice cubes
Put all ingredients except for the peanut butter cups into blender. Blend until smooth. Stop blending and break both of the peanut butter cups into 4 or so pieces each. Add them into blender, pushing them down with a knife to get them closer to the blades. Blend for like 2 or 3 seconds, then pour in a glass. (I've tried making smoothies with organic candy twice now, and I still haven't mastered the technique. It's hard to get it to blend larger chunks of candy into good-sized pieces. But I'll keep trying until I get a perfect candy smoothie!)
P.S.: Did you like watching the movie the Wizard of Oz as a kid? I loved it, mostly for the songs. However, it's always disturbed me a little how the whole story seems to promote murdering people just because some floating head told you to.
P.P.S.: What's your favorite candy? I've never really been that into candy, but when I'd trick-or-treat for Halloween as a kid I think my favorites were Reece's Pieces Peanut Butter Cups. I'm so glad there's now an organic version of those!
Weight Gain Misconceptions
I've noticed that a lot of people with health and diet related blogs have a couple disclaimers throughout the blog, saying they're not a registered dietician and whatnot. I feel like I should have a couple of those guys here and there, so here's one: I am not a health professional or registered dietician (I'm only 15!!!) and my advice is not a replacement for that of a doctor, blah blah blah, you get the picture.
With that said, I do know quite a bit about health, and some of the information I have recently learned about weight and gaining weight is quite interesting. So I am about to share some false ideas about this topic that I used to believe, and true information dissolving these anxieties about weight gain.
I actually don't weigh myself; this would not be healthy for me and would be a source of stress. I find it hard to imagine a girl or woman who wouldn't actually be happier and healthier if they didn't weigh themselves. It's so much better to just leave that task to one's doctor, and let the doctor decide if you need to lose weight or not. Especially since household scales are often inaccurate anyway. And weighing oneself daily is actually considered obsessive, so this behavior should be avoided. Honestly, I don't think it's necessary to weigh yourself at all! However, I know most people aren't about to just throw out their scale and stop weighing themselves. So, if you are quite attached to that contraption, and do weigh yourself from time to time, read this. These facts may help explain why your weight may be fluctuating up and down as much as 5 pounds a day, maybe even permanently sliding up a bit, and why this is not the end of the world. (You're looking at me like I just sprouted antlers. I can see through the computer screen that you think I must be crazy. But by the end of this post, I promise you will understand why I say this. It's not a big deal to creep up a couple pounds on the scale! Really!)
Possible Explanations for Unexplained Weight Gain
1. Water
It's extremely healthy to stay hydrated. Drinking at least 32 ounces of water per day is good for your whole body. However, it can also have the side effect of causing your weight to seem to increase. If you have consumed more water on a day when you weigh yourself than you consumed the last time you weighed yourself, your weight could be two or three pounds up, maybe even more. And it doesn't mean you've gained weight or that you look any fatter. Nor is this a reason to stop drinking water! In fact, you can also become bloated and weigh more due to dehydration. How crazy is that?
2. Food
If you weigh yourself after eating you could be as much as five pounds higher than you are on an empty stomach. Does this mean you've gained five pounds off of eating your last meal? Not at all, it simply means the food is in your stomach being broken down to be absorbed by the bloodstream as nutrients. If you weigh yourself the morning after having a heavier dinner, your weight could still appear to be up. This happens because the sodium in food causes your body to hold onto water. It's not permanent weight or any fat on your body at all, and nothing to be concerned about because it will go away as soon as your body processes all the nutrients from the food.
3. Muscle Gain
If you do a lot of working out, such as running, yoga, or any kind of regular exercise, you are building muscle. How this works is fat cells convert to muscle cells. When fat converts to muscle, it becomes more dense and compact. So, it takes up less space, but weighs more. Muscle takes up less space than fat, so you get smaller and more fit as you build muscle. Muscle gain takes time, but once you start to achieve results you will be firmer and stronger. People who are building muscle may see a slight increase in their weight.
4. Growing
If you're a teenager like me, or even in your early twenties, you may still be growing taller. This is natural and healthy, I mean, who doesn't want to be tall? Speaking as a 5 foot, 1.5 inch midget, tall is good. When you're short, people tend to think of you as younger and sort of talk down to you, both literally and figuratively. Not that it's the worst thing in the world to be short, but I imagine it'd be fun to be tall. More height is the last missing piece of the puzzle that I need to make me look like a gorgeous supermodel! 🙂
My point is, if you're getting taller, you also need to weigh more. Not because you get fatter as you get taller, but because you contain more tissue. For every inch you grow, it is expected by doctors that you would gain 3-5 pounds. These are pounds merely composed of bone, blood and tissue.
5. Just for Girls: The Cycle
You know, the cycle? That embarrassing topic we all had to learn about all through middle and high school in about five or ten different sex-ed seminars? Yeah, well another annoying thing about the cycle (as if we needed another annoying thing associated with it!) is the following: on the days before and during your special time, your weight will often fluctuate up. This is a result of bloating and your body retaining more water than usual. It will go back to normal at the end of your special time.
So as you can see, there are many simple explanations for temporary weight fluctuations. And there are also some good reasons to gain real weight, permanently. All these things are totally natural and healthy. Still, it can be stressful to constantly have to worry about your weight, whether it will be up or down or why exactly it is different from one day to the next. Feeling you have to weigh yourself regularly can be an unnecessary burden, like an extra backpack full of stones that you have to carry around all the time. So why not just let it go? This may sound crazy, but I suggest not weighing yourself for a little while. Maybe you'll never want to do it again. And that's totally good and okay. It is possible to survive without knowing exactly how much you weigh at any given second. My reasoning is: if you can't see the couple pounds different on your body, what does it matter if you have fluctuated up a couple pounds on the scale? The next day you might be down a few pounds. It's not fat, just water or food or whatever: the human body isn't perfect, and doesn't weigh the exact same thing every day. And no one has to know…not even you!
If you do choose to continue weighing yourself, I highly suggest keeping in mind the natural fluctuations I have mentioned above, and the reasons for them. Furthermore, if you are concerned about your weight, it is a good idea to see a registered dietician and/or talk to your regular doctor about it.
I would like to thank my dietician, Kerri Schwartz, MS, RD for helping me get all the information right on this post. I would also like to acknowledge the following sites for a couple extra tidbits of information: MayoClinic.com, Fitday.com, eHow.com, and Ask.com
Meet Francisco!
On Friday, my family went to see my grandma, who gave us an old fishbowl and some antique fish supplies. She was desperate to get the stuff out of her house, and suggested we get a pet fish to put in the fishbowl. We do have a cat, so at first my mom just rolled her eyes at the notion of getting a fish. She figured the cat would treat the fish like a take-out box full of salmon teriyaki, and kept saying our condo doesn't allow residents to have more than one pet anyway. But to be honest, Artemis isn't too into hunting, or killing things. Sam and I kept mentioning to Mom how fun it would be to have a fish. Mom was convinced after about a day of us innocent children getting our hopes up. On Saturday we went to PetCo to select a fish, having decided that if the cat tried to attack the fish, we'd take it back to the store or give it away.
We ended up buying a new fishbowl altogether, so there was almost no point in Grandma giving us the fishbowl. I guess it was the inspiration for us to get a fish; currently we plan to turn it into a terrarium. Anyway, we also bought some disgusting-looking fish treats (dried worms) and food and water conditioner. The piece do resistance – the fish – was a betta, or Siamese/Thai fighting fish. Supposedly this type of fish makes a great first pet. Its natural habitat is the rice paddies of Thailand. (When Mom first read that off the pamphlet about bettas, I thought she said they lived in rice patties. I said indignantly, "people eat fish in rice patties? That's just gross! How can that be their natural habitat?" Mom and Sam had to combine forces to get me to understand what a paddy is: it's like a marsh, right? Yep, I'm a total genius.)
Sam selected the betta, which was a male double-tail betta. He was one of a precious few in the store that was actually alive and not floating at the top of his container. I think it's disturbing how many of the fish for sale were dead already. As I held him in the car on the bumpy ride home, I kept being afraid he'd be knocked lifeless as we hit a red light or went over a bump or something. Sam kept asking, "is he still alive?" Thankfully, he lasted the arduous journey.
Since Sam got to choose the fish, it was my privilege to come up with a name. (A first name, anyway, Sam had already decided the middle name would be Poseidon.) I searched the web for a while, but nothing seemed right. I wanted an ethnic name of some kind, but nothing I came up with seemed to fit him. Luigi popped into my brain, and I seriously considered that name, but it was too reminiscent of that hyperactive yellow car in the movie Cars. Finally, I named him Francisco. (I was into the Italian-sounding names at that moment.) Everyone in the family liked that name, so it was set in stone (until someone comes up with a better name, that is.)
Artemis likes to watch the fish, but hasn't made any attempts so far to actually kill him. Despite her name, she'd really rather be playing with a toy than hunting live prey any day. We're all relieved she doesn't want to kill Francisco. My mom still doesn't really trust her around the fish though, and keeps an eye out for any stalking behavior…
My Dream Last Night
I had a really weird dream last night. Have you ever had a dream that made you feel off all day? Maybe posting something about the dream will make me feel better.
I feel kind of weird disclosing my dream on the internet. It feels kind of personal, like giving international readers the key to my soul or whatever. But I'm going to take the plunge and do it! You'll tell me about your dreams in return, right?
Anyway, this dream was pretty weird. Some girl was bragging to me about her "diet"- she planned to eat absolutely nothing for a full three days, in order to lose weight. I told her that was not healthy, and she kept saying, "yes it is," in that infuriating tone of voice people use when they think they're right but they are so not right. Anyway, I was hanging out with the girl all day in the dream, and she was avoiding food and bragging about how good she was at it.
Eventually, we were sitting on top of a restaurant awning (don't ask me how we got there) and we saw a blond guy walking into the restaurant, pushing one of those wheeled contraptions waiters use to carry dishes. On the tray was a banana caramel pie. The guy said, "I have this whole banana caramel pie, and no one to eat it with." And the girl I was sitting with jumped down from the awning and said, "I haven't eaten all day. Can I please eat that pie with you?" The guy said, "sure," and they went into the restaurant to eat it together. I was so frustrated and even jealous… yet at the same time I remember thinking smugly, "this is why diets don't work." And then I woke up.
I guess I'm really sharing this with you to see if you know what I mean. Don't you ever have a dream that's so disgusting or frustrating, you just have to share it with the world to help get it off your chest? I mean, it always helps me to share my disturbing dreams. I guess that's why I'm actually posting this on my website. This dream made me feel two things in particular: one, like I should go on a "diet," which we all have to fight, girls, because even when your dream says so, it's not always right, right? Also, the dream gave me a strange urge to make banana caramel pie. And all day, I kept feeling like I smelled bananas. Interesting…
Have you had a dream recently that was disturbing, funny or weird? If so, it would be totally awesome to post it in the comments.
It's not that that weird to post my dream on the internet… right?

Veteran tells how he beat death in Alaska avalanche
In a flash, the world turned white.
Snow covered Nick Gleim's eyes, blinding him. It filled his ears, deafening him. And it forced its way down his throat and into his lungs, choking him.
Death, he knew, was a few seconds away. "So I prayed," he said, "and I fought like hell."

Welcome to the second volume of Nerd News! I bet you were all wondering when it would change, right? Of course. (Totally arbitrary numbering FTW!)
2011's shaping up to be pretty nerdy, which is great by me. In fact, check out this list of 55 scifi/fantasy movies to check out this year. I'm most excited about The Adjustment Bureau, Paul, Thor, Priest, Pirates 4, X-Men: First Class, The Green Lantern, Transformers 3, Harry Potter, Captain America, Cowboys and Aliens, Now, Sherlock Holmes 2 ... you know, I'd pretty much see any of them willingly. It's obviously going to be a busy year.
Speaking of, this trailer for Paul makes me smile.
It's so great that it comes out on Valentines Day, too. Date night!
In other movie news:
- Vancouver = Metropolis in Zach Snyder's Superman.
- i09 things Darren Aronofsky needs to read these Wolverine stories before making the next installment.
- Captain America looks to be a movie about ... a guy who wears goggles.
- Since that was a bit of a tease, here are some spoilers on the Cap film.
- Take a look at Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker. He just kind of looks like ... a guy. But I suppose Parker's pretty normal when not covered in head-to-toe spandex.
- Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton to star in Hansel and Gretel. I totally got this weird picture of them dressed as children when I first ran across this article. I can't unsee that, unfortunately. Hopefully this version doesn't include them skipping through the forest in lederhosen.
- A new Godzilla?
- I used to be totally creeped out by Ron Perlman, but I love him as Hellboy. I'm pretty stoked there's the possibility of a third movie in the works.
I want this Picard Amigurumi. And the Firefly cast in her gallery. And the Dune items ... I could make them of course, but there aren't 48 hours in each day, unfortunately.
I heart these dinosaur superheroes, in part because they remind me a bit of the mini-series Dinotopia, which I have a total soft spot for.
In TV news: SyFy's bringing a new superhero show to your sets.
Love these superhero-inspired outfits, too.
Olly Moss is an amazing artist. I have his Now Panic and Freak Out shirt from Threadless, but his movie posters are where it's at.
Hermione is my kind of girl.
Looking for somehting fantastical to read this year? Check out this list of scifi/fantasy novels being released in 2011.
And finally, I leave you today with a little bit of advice on how to deal with anger.
Never let it be said that I don't provide items of benefit to all mankind.
