Wife Swap: Kate Gosselin Says Kendra Wilkinson Doesn't Care About Her Family (HollywoodLife)
On the season premiere of 'Celebrity Wife Swap,' Kate is overwhelmed with how much free time (and girls nights out) Kendra has, while Kendra nearly loses one of Kate's kids on a surprise family outing! Read on for the full recap.
Kendra Wilkinson and Kate Gosselin seemingly have a lot in common — they were both featured on their own reality shows, and each competed on separate seasons of Dancing with the Stars – but when it comes to their home lives, they couldn't be more different. Kendra was in for a world of shock when she stumbled into Kate's home and took on the role of single mom to eight kids.
Kate, on the other hand, couldn't believe that she would have to not only take care of just one kid for a week, but also leave nearly all of the house work to Kendra's husband Hank Baskett and their housekeeper Rosa!
Wives Swap Places In Surprise Switch
When Kate and Kendra arrived at each other's houses, it was a complete shock where they would end up — until they saw the family pictures in each of the houses! When Kendra saw Kate Gosselin's photo, she about had a heart attack — she would be taking care of eight kids by herself!
Kate was a little more relieved when she saw Kendra's photo, because she knew she would have a husband to help and just one little (adorable kid to look after). When they read each other's house rules and manuals, it got a little more complicated.
Kate found out that Kendra's nanny Rosa takes care of the house work and little Hank most of the day, and there really isn't a set structure to their schedule. "Relax and have a drink on me," the handbook said — what a treat!
Kendra was floored when she saw that Kate's schedule with her eight kids is much more structured. She starts making their breakfast at 5:30 in the morning, and is ready for when the kids come down the stairs at 6:03 in the morning (not 6, and not 6:05). She finds out each kid has a set of strict chores, which is foreign to her since she has never had chores in her life!
Kate & Kendra Take Over Role As Mommy
When Kendra meets the eight kids, they are super standoffish. And Kendra admits she's pretty bad at remembering names, so she's not sure how the week is going to go. But the kids teach her how they make their lunches, what their chores are and how they continue with their routine — basically, the kids are mothering Kendra! "Maddie is mentally older than I am," Kendra admits.
Kate is in for a pleasant surprise when she sits back with a glass of wine and watches Hank make dinner on the grill. Then some of Kendra's and Hank's friends come over, and they all grill out and drink together. Kate says she can't wrap her mind around grilling out randomly on a Monday night. Then, the night gets even crazier when the girls take Kate to a swanky LA club! She drinks some cocktails with the girls and tries to get used to a life of unwinding, but can't get over that she's normally in bed at that time.
Meanwhile, Kendra rests up for an early day with the kids. She makes them all cereal at 6 in the morning, which the kids aren't pleased about. But the boys do their chores of feeding the chickens, and the girls get all the lunches together. After a hectic morning, Kendra looks ready to break down! Then later after dinner, the kids resume all of their daily chores and Kendra can hardly believe the kids have to do so much.
Over in Hollywood, Kate she goes to the golf course with Hank and reveals over dinner that she doesn't know how to relax, and hasn't had dinner with a man in years! Kate feels like Kendra is taking advantage of her husband and not spending enough time with their son Hank. "I wouldn't want it that way… nanny who was there all day for taking care of the house," Kate says."
Time For A Change: Kate & Kendra Lay Down Their Rules
When the moms institue new rules for their new families, Kendra gets rid of all the after-dinner chores, and wants the kids to just play and have fun! They even have a picnic for dinner in the middle of the living room, throwing out the tradition of eating at the dinner table every night.
She even took them to a local arcade park to play games and ride go karts for a night of fun and spontaneity – but she nearly loses one of the boys Aiden! Luckily, Aiden is found safe and sound, but Kendra soon realizes why Kate has so much structure in her life.
Kate, on the other hand, goes in the opposite direction. She says little Hank needs to eat dinner at the table like a normal person, and needs to learn some chores of his own. So they learn to pick up his torys together. She also doesn't think Kendra spends enough time with her family as a family, so she wants all three of them to participate in activities together! They do yoga as a family — and Hank Sr. isn't fond of making that a tradition.
But by the end of the week, Kate is starting to appreciate what it means to let loose and relax a little bit, especially when there's someone else to take care of her. Kendra is learning that structure can be a positive thing, and it makes the household run so much more smoothly.
The Roundtable: Kendra & Kate Reveal What They Learned
When Kate and Kendra come face-to-face, the single mom of eight takes the gloves off and says what's on her mind.
"It was my surprise to find that you have ONE child," she revealed, and said it was was unique that she basically does "nothing."
"You let everybody else do everything because you don't care," Kate says. "Between [Hank] and Rosa, they do everything, so essentially it enables you to do nothing." She also says she needs to take some of the burden off Hank, who deos everything in their house.
Hank disagrees, but instead of getting defensive, Kendra is on the same page — she needs to give little Hank more chores, and take some of the responsibility off of her husband and their nanny. "Kate has empowered me. I need to dedicate more time with little Hank," she reveals.
On the flip side, Kate admits she needs to chill out a little bit, and not feel guilty having some time to herself. Kendra says she hopes she learned the value of spontaneity and letting loose.
It looks like both moms learned a lot from each family — and is so grateful for the family they do have!

Custom hardware is at the heart of what makes an Amiga an Amiga and the X1000 is highly anticipated, even with a frankly breath-taking price "north of £1500". The initial release of Amiga OS 4 for the machine will not make use of the 64-bit mode nor the second core, but this is expected to be fixed in following software updates.
New AROS Release Brings Improved 2D/3D Hardware Support, USB-Booting
In a news post on the 17th, AROS has added Intel GMA950 support by the work of Michal Schulz. The open-source Nvidia driver Nuveau has been ported, providing broad 2D support and selected 3D support:
Krzysztof "Deadwood" Smiechowicz has gone really far with his Gallium3D port to AROS: he has now integrated 2D and 3D accelerated functions in a single driver called Nuveau, which supports 2D acceleration for almost all GeForce GPUs starting from the ancient GeForce 2 cards until the recent GTX 200 series. 3D functions, however, are available only to GeForce FX (5x00), cards and upwards. Some models and GPUs might not be supported yet.
Support for installing onto, and booting from USB devices has been added which is a big leap forward for allowing users to test the OS easily, especially on netbooks without an optical drive.
Neil Cafferkey has vastly improved our support to FAT partitions, and also made AROS installable on USB pendrives (and bootable from them). This means that regular nightly builds, but also Icaros Destop version 1.2.2 can now be installed on netbooks and other USB-bootable systems using a memory stick instead of a DVD. Paolo Besser has written a complete how-to in PDF format, and placed it on the Icaros website.
New AROS Distribution, "Broadway"
Speaking of AROS and Icaros, Pascal Papara reports to us:
I'm the guy who did the german answer to the Imica (dedicated AROS-machine), now I want to give AROS a new face with my own distribution called Broadway. I released an early Snaphot of Version 0.0.2R6. You can try it under Virtualbox but it is preconfigured to run perfectly on AresOne and Imica-systems. For some info you can see http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5482 or www.aros-broadway.de There is also coming new "commercial" software like AMC = Amiga Media Center. See the showroom on the Broadway-page. PS: After getting the most done in the x86-Version I will start with AROS64 and PPC-Versions
All in all, good movement in the Amiga community. If there's any Amiga users or those suitably in the know in the audience that could explain how the X-core processor works and what it means for Amiga, I'd appreciate it, thanks. To my limited understanding, it seems like an FPGA? (like the C=One)

NASHVILLE, TENN – It wasn't his last game on the court inside Allen Arena because the Lipscomb University Bisons will host the Atlantic Sun Championship next week, but Michael Lusk certainly put on a Senior Day show Saturday against North Florida barely missing a triple-double.
Lusk had 21 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists in Lipscomb's 90-69 win.
"He was terrific," Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson said. "He rebounded, scored, passed the ball, and guarded well."
Lipscomb enters the A-Sun tournament Thursday as the No. 4 seed riding an eight game win streak.
Sanderson praised Lusk for his leadership during the streak, which is Lipscomb's longest win streak since the 2000-01 season and its longest ever against NCAA opponents.
"We have had a lot of guys that have played well, but he is the main guy that has stepped up his play the most on both ends of the floor to help us go to the next level," Sanderson said.
The Lipscomb basketball family also honored senior forward Thomas Pfaff. A great low post defender, Pfaff was praised by Sanderson for his effort in games and in practice.
"He's the best low post defender around," Sanderson said. "He's made Adnan Hodzic a better player for us by playing strong defense against him every day in practice. He gives us great energy off the bench and has been a very good player for us."
Hodzic posted 21 points and grabbed 7 rebounds for the Bisons. Brandon Brown added 10 points.
North Florida took its only lead of the game on the opening possession of the game. Lipscomb held a 49-24 advantage at the half.
"I liked our energy today," Sanderson said. "We moved the ball well. We shot the ball well and we were pretty good defensively."
Lipscomb took a 29-point lead, its largest of the game, with 5:53 left. North Florida responded with a 14-1 run to bring the game back to a 16-point spread with 2:49 remaining.
"In the second half we played a little sloppy," Sanderson said. "I wasn't excited about that but all-in-all the last three or four weeks we have been pretty good on both ends of the court."
Cortez Riley led North Florida with 19 points. Matt Sauey had 11 points and eight rebounds.
Lipscomb in 16-13, 12-8 in the Atlantic Sun. North Florida finishes its season 8-21, 6-13 in the A-Sun.
The Bisons open play in the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Championship Thursday evening at 8:30 against Campbell. Tournament passes are available through Ticketmaster for $50. The game will be televised on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS).
Jonathan Seamon and Benjamin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/.

In a perfect state, a pair of anti-shushing bills filed in the Legislature would not be necessary to ensure the right of Floridians to speak before public bodies before they take official actions.
In a perfect state, a pair of anti-shushing bills filed in the Legislature would not be necessary to ensure the right of Floridians to speak before public bodies before they take official actions.
But as Sen. Joe Negron recently told the Senate's Governmental Oversight and Accountability Committee, some taxing authorities and special districts have refused to hear public comments before voting on key policies or projects.
In an instance that made headlines, the St. Johns River Water Management District refused to allow William Stetson Kennedy — a former writer, who spent years crusading for civil rights — to speak during a meeting during which the district's board considered construction of a water-treatment plant.
Other opponents of the project were allowed to speak but, because of time constraints and a large crowd, Kennedy wasn't given time to address the board. He sued in 2009, alleging his constitutional right to speak in public had been violated.
Trial and appeals courts ruled against Kennedy, however, casting doubt on the extent of the public's right to speak during government meetings.
Senate Bill 50, introduced by Negron, a Republican from Florida's East Coast, seeks to address the doubt.
Fortunately, the bill passed the Senate's oversight committee 8-0 on Feb. 6. The legislation deserves additional support in the Legislature. (In the House of Representatives, HB 23 is sponsored by Rep. Ray Wesley Rodrigues, R-Estero.)
The Senate and House bills aim to ensure that "members of the public" are given "a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before a board or commission."
Both versions contain provisions that would provide local government boards or state commissions, including water districts, flexibility in managing public input.
For instance, "the opportunity to be heard need not occur at the same meeting at which the board or commission takes official action" — so long as the comments are made "within reasonable proximity in time" before a decision is made.
Although the terms in the proposed legislation are vague, they emphasize a reasonable approach. Importantly, they re-establish the Florida principle: the right to speak before governmental bodies about decisions affecting the public.

NEW BEDFORD — The Consultative Council to the Portuguese Consulate in New Bedford is calling on the Portuguese community to support parishioner efforts to reopen St. John the Baptist Church, saying that the end of the 141-year-old parish "strongly undermines the presence of the Portuguese community."
NEW BEDFORD — The Consultative Council to the Portuguese Consulate in New Bedford is calling on the Portuguese community to support parishioner efforts to reopen St. John the Baptist Church, saying that the end of the 141-year-old parish "strongly undermines the presence of the Portuguese community."
"Besides being the spiritual home of hundreds of parishioners, it bears a specific significance regarding Portuguese presence in the area," Consul Graca Fonseca said. "It's a landmark of the historic presence of the community in the area and ... a symbol of Portuguese immigration to the area."
Fall River diocese Bishop George Coleman closed St. John the Baptist Church Nov. 4 over the protests of parishioners, who have since appealed formally to the Vatican to reverse the decision.
Fonseca said she was optimistic about the parishioners' chances.
"There are several facts that can lead us to conclude that the Diocese of Fall River was misguided," she said.
In a press release, the consultative council accused former pastor Maurice Gauvin of violating canon law by running up $261,000 in debt without meeting with the church's Finance Council as required. It also faults the diocese for restricting fundraising activities — even turning down offers by contractors to do repairs to the 99-year-old building — during a two-year period they were granted to turn the situation around.
"In order to elucidate the situation and let people make their own assessment, we believed it was good timing for the release of this information," Fonseca said. Fonseca also met with the bishop in June about the matter.
Diocese spokesman John Kearns said the claims of the consultative council were "inaccurate and in some cases false."
"It is the hope of the diocese that those who desire the continuation of a strong Portuguese-American community in New Bedford's South End would support Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish as it welcomes parishioners of the former St. John's and moves forward as one united Portuguese-American community of faith in that area of the city," he said in a statement.
The consultative council is made up of about 10 community members, who meet at least three times a year, Fonseca said. Every Portuguese consul has a consultative council, which offers advisory services.
Parishioner Brian Costa said the nonprofit Friends of St. John the Baptist Church NB has raised about $9,000 so far to pay for a canon lawyer. The group's appeal has arrived at the Vatican, where it is being translated into Italian and Latin, he said.
"I think it's great that we have the support of the Portuguese consulate because it's not just a church of the parishioners," he said. "To me, I think of St. John as being the Plymouth rock of the Portuguese people."

This crowd is asleep in the middle of the night. It's highly unlikely that you know their names. On Friday afternoons they leave Manhattan to go to "the beach"—the more loaded word Hamptons is never used—and their weekends revolve around swimming and golf and which new book to read and on which porch. When they do go out, you can be sure it is not to triple-air-kiss at the restaurant of the moment.
"How do you make blue and white not look cute and precious?" he saw as his challenge. Black was the answer.
He is a fund manager; her involvements range from contemporary art to children's psychiatric disorders. They belong to a generation of New Yorkers who saw the '80s at their most grandiose and developed an aversion to anything the least bit Marie Antoinette-ish. Fourteen years ago they bought this classic Shingle Style house in a sterling area known for children and speed bumps. It was not an investment instrument; there was no plan to "flip" or "trade up." They wanted their three children to have a sense of home, and the traditional way one creates that is to stay put and live a good life for a couple of decades. And so they are.
Their partner in this longterm endeavor is the interior designer Thad Hayes of New York, who is an equally lowkey and unpretentious soul. Nobody could ever accuse Thad Hayes of excess. He is the Jil Sander of interior design; his rooms are strong and quiet and of the highest quality, but the label never shows.
In the beginning there was some heavy work to be done. New York architect Alan Wanzenberg had to untangle the old structure, which dated from the turn of the century. "It wasn't an effort to formalize the house, just to organize it," he says. Briefly, Wanzenberg knitted the rooms together, turned a garage into additional living quarters and attached the two buildings with a glass breezeway. Now everybody ignores the front door and enters there, and it makes you feel like one of the family, stepping over baskets of sports equipment, walking past all the yellow slickers, seeing the Stickley cabinet filled with monogrammed beach towels in neat jelly rolls. The wife was careful not to let the spirit of the old house be smoothed out in the renovation. The too-narrow back stair, the medicine chest with a spot of flaking silver, the closets with crazy slopes inside, the creaky old pantry cabinets now filled with transferware—they're all still there.
Her vision for the decoration was "blue and white," which in the Hamptons usually means Chinese export jars in the fireplaces and toile puddles at the windows. Hayes understood that she would want something more modern, relaxed and original. "How do you make blue and white not look cute and precious?" the designer saw as his challenge. He knew he was on his way when he found the ebonized 19th-century French cupboard that now stands in the living room. Black was the answer, in painted spool furniture and bookcases, in huge industrial iron baskets that hold firewood, in steel Windsor dining chairs (no dining chairs ever weighed more). And while he did not fill up the rooms, everything he chose was dramatic. "Thad's scale is exciting," the wife says, "always bigger than I would have selected. His eye for scale is unerring."
He has his lighter side too. The living room draperies are denimlike linen, which break neatly at the floor like a well-cut pair of trousers, and the bedroom draperies are handkerchief linen embroidered with flowers so subtle there is no danger of sugar shock. Hayes has a divining rod for the improbable piece: an orphaned set of 18th-century Hepplewhite drawers refitted in the 1970s to a Lucite cabinet, or a 1950s Italian blond-oak cabinet with a grid of carved seashells. Who has ever even seen such things before? The wife brought to the project a strong sense of how a family house runs—"I wanted to be able to have 18 for dinner, anywhere"—as well as her knowledge of contemporary art. The collection is personal and provocative; and it takes a certain sensitivity to choose art of some stature that feels appropriate to a beach house where everybody trails sand. Among the pieces are brightly painted plywood panels by Richard Tuttle, an April Gornick etching, a mixed-media "book" by Jane Hammond and a political print by the Mexican American artist Enrique Chagoya. "Blue and white" has never felt quite like this. Come back in 10 years, or 20, when the boldface names have exhausted the Hamptons and moved on, and this couple will still be here, surrounded by blue and white and even more family. They will be playing tennis and grilling hamburgers as always, and looking forward to what Thad Hayes has found to make their world a little nicer next summer.

Electronic Arts has today relaunched Star Wars: The Old Republic as a free-to-play title. Available for all gamers worldwide, the free-to-play option allows gamers to experience all of the class storylines through to Level 50, the current level cap, at no charge. Today also sees the introduction of the new Cartel Market.
Free To Play. This is a good move! I wonder if the purchase by Disney of Star Wars, has anything to do with this.
SWTOR was built going F2P before it was ever released. I read a story several years ago that Bioware had a backup plan if the P2P model didn't work. I think the only thing that shocked them was the time of how quick it went F2P.

It might surprise you to hear this, but right-wing Republicans actually agree with President Obama that America needs a radical change in our gun laws. It's just that they have a different idea of what those changes should be.
In the Montana Legislature this month, in the wake of the Newtown tragedy and a scourge of national gun violence, Montana Republicans have moved quickly to introduce a series of bills to deal with what they believe is society's most pressing gun problem: it's not easy enough to shoot someone.
There are dozens of proposals, each one stupider and sillier and more childish than the next. Here are few of my favorites:
First is a bill to change our concealed weapons laws. In Montana, concealed weapons may not be carried in churches, schools, banks, bars, colleges, hospitals and a few other specified areas. Republicans have proposed a bill to eliminate these restrictions completely.
The author of the bill, House Bill 304, is none other than the state chair of the House Judiciary Committee. A police officer showed up to a hearing to testify against it, saying he'd "never seen a bar fight that ended well with a concealed weapon." The Republicans were unfazed by this testimony and are moving forward with the legislation. There's also a companion bill, House Bill 384, that specifically addresses the injustice suffered by high school students who are denied the right to bring rifles and shotguns onto school grounds. The bill would forbid school officials from punishing such students.
Keep in mind that these are the same lawmakers who proposed Senate Bill 279 which was a bill to allow legislators to carry guns–both concealed and open–in the state capitol building last session. Apparently they think that this will make the capitol a safer place. I'm sure the many government employees who work in the Capitol will feel secure in knowing that a few crusty old Republican men–who start drinking at 10 am and spend the rest of the day snoozing at hearings or ogling high school pages–will serve as a security force in the event the building is attacked.
And if you think Republicans do not believe in guaranteed access to healthcare, think again. A few GOP legislators have just introduced House Bill 459, a bill to guarantee the provision of medical care–to anyone who is armed. The bill makes it a felony to deny someone health care if the denial is based in any way on the fact that the person is in possession of a weapon, and refuses to answer the doctor's question about said possession. Said another way, this bill ensures that you can bring a weapon to your doctors office, and the doctor may not ask you to leave the premises if you refuse to answer the doctor when you are asked "is that bulge under you clothing a concealed weapon?" It also forbids pediatricians from asking other questions about guns that they routinely ask, about whether the parent owns weapons and, if so, whether the parent is safely storing them in the house, out of reach of the child.
These legislators should themselves seek out a pediatrician, because they are overgrown children who somehow became legislators.
There are many more such bills, including:
HB 302 by Rep. Krayton Kerns would prohibit state enforcement of any federal ban on semi-auto firearms/magazines
HB 215 by Rep. Edward Greef declares the Winchester rifle "The gun that won the west."
HJ 5 by Rep. Jerry O'Neil amends the U.S. Constitution to prevent President from entering into any arms treaties that infringe on gun rights.
LC1639 by Rep. Scott Reichner would prevent local governments from restricting firearms.
HB 27 by Rep. Ted Washburn would allow the use of silencers when hunting "large predators," while
HB 205 by Krayton Kerns would eliminate the prohibition on firearm sound reduction devices in the field altogether.
HB 240 by Rep. Cary Smith seeks to allow guns on college campuses.
HB 468 by Rep. Alan Doane would encourage manufacture of ammunition in Montana to ensure availability.
HJ 3 by Rep. Jerry O'Neil calls for an amendment to the US Constitution which "gives the states the right to make whatever guns they want so long as [firearms] stay inside the[sic] own borders."
SB 304 by Rep. Roger Webb would establish a "firearm protection act."
HB 292 by Rep. Randy Brodehl would revise laws related to pawn shop stolen gun procedures

(U//FOUO) Al-Qa'ida's multimedia wing Al-Sahab released on 27 February 2008 a video featuring al-Qa'ida's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri eulogizing senior al-Qa'ida military commander Abu-Layth al-Libi.

He goes on to say that he does not see death as a disgrace and "no chief of ours had died a natural death, nor has our blood been spilled without a response."

ApostAZ podcast #5
Episode 005 Atheism and Freethought in Phoenix- "Every Sperm is Sacred" from Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life'. Group Events. Phoenix, Billboards! Suckics hone in on Autism. Astromnology. Us vs Them? Phelps Hallucinations. Gay marriage, still an issue, still a tax money black-hole! Greydon Square, "Dream" from 'The Compton Effect' album.I didn't get my contribution in on time, but I'll have a science and skepticism segment in episode 006.
My comments on this episode:
While McCain opposes gay marriage and pays lip service to the idea of same-sex civil unions, Obama also opposes gay marriage (though says he'd like to repeal DOMA and institute a federal law supporting same-sex civil unions, even in front of audiences that oppose gay rights, so he is somewhat better than McCain on that issue). They also both support faith-based government programs--neither is a strict separationist on church and state. (But again, I think Obama is slightly better than McCain on that subject in terms of what he says--at least he opposes giving federal funding to groups that discriminate or proselytize, though it's unclear he'll take action to stop it.)
On abortion, there can certainly be secular moral arguments for restrictions on late-term abortion, just as there can be secular moral arguments against infanticide. Arguments that abortion involves killing a person, a being with a right to life, need to come to terms with Judith Jarvis-Thomson's violinist argument, which argues that even if a fetus has a right to life, it doesn't have the right to be supported by its mother's body if the mother did not consent. This has further implication that if the fetus could be transplanted or removed and survive on its own (e.g., it's already reached the point of viability, which is the standard applied by the U.S. Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade), then that's immoral and criminalizable. But it also implies, it seems to me, that there is a reasonable range of actions which could constitute consent to supporting a fetus--such as voluntarily engaging in sex without contraception, which any reasonable person should know has a reasonably high probability of producing a child.
My own view is that abortion is immoral to the point of justifying legal prohibition in any case where (a) there's such at least tacit consent to carry a child and (b) the fetus has reached a point of brain development where there's a reasonable case to be made for personhood. I'm not convinced that (b) ever happens in reality, since I think there's a strong argument that personhood requires a capacity for self-awareness, which doesn't seem to occur until about six months after birth, but I can certainly conceive of empirical evidence that would change my mind about when that point is reached. There may be other cases where abortion is immoral, e.g., intentionally waiting until late in the pregnancy, and then terminating for a trivial reason of convenience.
On the Biblical justification for opposition to medical treatment: Jehovah's Witnesses oppose blood transfusions on the grounds of Old Testament prohibitions on consuming blood (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:11-14, and Acts 15:20, 29), even though those all refer to consuming animal blood and have nothing to do with transfusions of human blood. Christian Scientists oppose medical treatment not on the basis of anything in the Bible, but based on the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy. Their view is that everything good and holy is spiritual, while everything physical or material is evil, yet is also illusory or at least a distortion of the spiritual world. This has some resemblance to Buddhist views of "maya," and also to the early Christian heresy known as Docetism, which was the view that Jesus' humanity was an illusion, because the physical cannot be holy. Thus, under this view, engaging in physical repair (medicine) of what is an illusory distortion of the underlying spiritual reality is not only a waste of time, but sinful--the only real repair possible is spiritual, through prayer. (And further, illness itself is of the physical, and thus illusory.)

Through the Zombie Glass Tour: Why You Should Read the White Rabbit Chronicles
Hello everyone! I am super excited to be a part of the Through the Zombie Glass book tour hosted by Kismet Book Tours. I am a HUGE fan of Gena Showalter, and her White Rabbit Chronicles books are most definitely among my favorite books I've ever read. For those who loved Alice in Zombieland, just wait til you get your hands on Through the Zombie Glass. I didn't think it could get any better than Alice, but boy was I wrong. I am still trying to recover from all that happened in the book! More now please, Gena?
Anyways, as part of the tour I am here to tell readers why they must read the White Rabbit Chronicles books. There are just way too many reasons that I could babble on about for days, so I picked five of my favorite things about the series that make it so amazing.
Five Reasons Why I Think You Should Read the White Rabbit Chronicles Series
1. Alice. She's kick ass and vulnerable at the same time, making for one of my favorite heroines to read about. She is loyal to fault and will do anything to protect her friends and family, even if it means sacrificing herself to do so. My heart broke into pieces for her in Alice in Zombieland, but she's stronger than ever in Through the Zombie Glass and more than ready to take on whatever comes at her. Go Alice! *waves pom poms*
2. Emma, Alice's little sister. While Emma is only alive for a super short while, her spirit still lives on to help guide Alice as she discovers more about the world of zombies and slayers. She is absolutely adorable and while it breaks my heart that she isn't exactly alive any longer, I am glad Gena still added her to the series as a guardian to Alice.
3. Cole, Alice's love interest. Goodness, I'm not even sure how to describe this yummy hunk of man. He's one of my all-time favorite love interests that Gena has created, and that's saying a lot since she has some pretty good ones. Cole is broody, dangerous, and the ultimate bad boy. Along with his rough outer image that he projects is a man who is Alice's equal and he's willing to do anything he can to protect her and their fellow slayers. While he can be slightly infuriating at times, it just adds to the good stuff in the book.
4. The Zombies. I have never read about or seen zombies like the ones in the White Rabbit Chronicles. They're spirits in a way and nothing like the zombies from Zombieland or The Walking Dead. While they're equally as terrifying, there's quite an interesting backstory to them that makes for an even bumpier ride in the books. I NEVER want to come across Gena's zombies. At least with the Walking Dead ones I can fight them without having the ability to be able to fight them with my spirit!
5. Kat, Alice's best friend. Kat is my absolute favorite best friend in all the YA books that I've ever read. She's absolutely hilarious and says anything that's on her mind, no matter how crazy or far-fetched it may seem. Her on-again, off-again relationship with slayer Frosty makes me giggle and my heart wiggle. Those two are the cutest together. I also adore how Kat is always there for Alice, no matter how hard times are for her herself. Everyone needs a Kat in their life!
The characters and the zombies in the books make for one phenomenal series that I have so much love for. If you haven't yet read Alice in Zombieland yet, get on that!

I love this series!!
Wasn't sure when I started the first book, especially because I was expecting more Wonderland and more zombie-like zombies. But I quickly fell in love with the whole story and can't wait to read this next installment!
I agree with Bailey, Cole is Yummy and one or two reasons you need to read this series. I loved the first one and can't wait for the sequel.
Cole Alice's love interest is what sold me!
The first book was great, and I can't wait until the next one is released.
All of them! The book has so many great qualities and they all flow together beautifully. Can't wait until the next one (: <3
I would survive with a bow and arrow
Well if I had a Cole of my own I don't think I would have a problem surviving Zombieland. He kicks ass (and looks rather yummy doing it)!
I think to survive, I might have to be simply mad. Love Gena's work and awesome giveaway!
Well..I would make sure to find a group with a sexy guy like Cole and make sure I have my own weapon and have a sort of safe "base" I can go back to in case anything happens!
I would survive with a crossbow!
I like Ellen's reply . I'd carry a hatchet too.
I'd learn how to fight zombies to survive!
I would stick to Alice and have her teach me how to fight,
I'll watch her back and fight with her. I'll bring a katana for close range combat.
When I started this book I thought of Alice in Wonderland theme which I'm not a huge fan of but I love Gena Showalter books so I decided to read it and it was the best decision EVER!!! I'm soo happy that the only resemblance to Alice in Wonderland is the rabbit, main character name, and title.
If I were to survive in Zombieland it would be thanks to pure dumb luck.
with a sword
Cole, always Cole…and the zombies!
LOVE this series! So excited for this book!
i would survive by acting a bit crazy and zombie like ,keep my head down ,hide well ,arm myself to the teeth ,but i think acting a bit crazy and unpredictable would be helpful
Oh, I'm so excited I haven't read this series yet but its on my to read list, Thank you for this Giveaway!
Alice is a kick-ass heroine which is why I would read this book plus I read the first book and want to know how Alice is doing and her relationship with Cole.
I dont think I would survive very well.
Cole and Alice, both sound like great characters
Just finished Alice in zombie land read it in a week haven't done that in a while sooo good would love to win book . 2 So don't have to wait for the library to get it i
I cannot wait to read this book! I grew up on a farm so I think I may be set…or I can just keep a weapon with me at all time and work on my stamina because I suck at running.
My daughter has read the first book and is impatiently waiting for the 2nd. I have them on my TBR list, just haven't had the time to get to the book. Love Gena's writing, so I'm sure I will love this series.
I think the first step to survival in a world gone mad is Knowledge and Finding the right friends.
I probably wouldn't survive, but… lots and lots of weapons?
I would survive by fighting!
I would survive in Alice's world by learning to fight.
Hiding and running away.
I love this series
The one about Cole, of course! A good hero is always going to be my reason for reading a book.
The second one had me sold. I was a bit iffy on the first one, just because it didn't make sense (title). I was a bit turned off, but I liked the story so I continued and I don't regret it
Alice…I mean, I always love a heroine who is kick a$% and though she needs help cause she is new, she rocks.
I would definitely learn how to fight and try not to go anywhere without some kind of weapon!
Love this series so far and can't wait to see what Alice and Cole have to face next! I'd survive with a good weapon, like a machete. Thanks!
I would need my own personal Cole!
I'd survive with an arsenal of good weapons: machete, knives, katana or swords. Guns are great, until you run out of bullets. A band of other survivors with great fighting skills would be great, too, especially hunters.

"Meeting kids from all over the country and the team from London was a great experience for the kids," said Sister Carol Anne. "These are the kind of kids our students will be competing with next fall [in college]."
Seniors G. Thomas Esmay, Anthony Abel, Garabed Koosherian, Dax Tucker, Evan Lecomte and junior Shane McElroy accompanied Sister Carol Anne, Roy, and Sutyla on the trip. The team faced extremely competitive opposition in the Decathlon and finished in 22nd out of the 32 teams.
"Even though we didn't do as well as we had hoped, the kids had a wonderful time and had a great experience," said Sister Carol Anne.
The highlight for Hendricken was Esmay's bronze medal finish in the essay portion of the competition. He focused his essay on his passion for theater, which he plans on pursuing next fall at New York University.
Hendricken earned the honor of representing Rhode Island in Albuquerque by defending their state title last March. Under Sister Carol Anne's leadership, it is their third championship in four years.
The Hendricken team, as well as the individual senior gold medallists from the state competition, will be honored for their accomplishments at a Governor's Reception at the State House on May 17. The medallists will receive $500 scholarship awards from the Speaker of the House.

SOMERSWORTH — 42 summonses were issued by the Somersworth Police Department during a crosswalk enforcement operation that spanned just a day and half.
According to Chief Dean Crombie of the Somersworth Police Department, those 42 summonses could have tripled if the department had more manpower during the crosswalk drill.
"The goal was to raise awareness about safety," Crombie said of the operation, which spanned all of last Friday and part of Tuesday. "People need to be alert while they're out on the road."
The recent operation comes less than 3 weeks after a 70-year-old Somersworth woman was seriously injured on September 6 while attempting to cross the road on a crosswalk in the area of Constitutional Way and High Street. The woman was later air lifted to a Massachusetts hospital for her injuries.
And motorists passing through the Hilltop City in the coming weeks should continue to be attentive behind the wheel — Crombie stated a red light enforcement operation will take place sometime within the next two weeks.
"This isn't just a local issue it's really a national problem," Crombie said Thursday. "People don't always stop for red lights."
It's also another way the Somersworth Police Department hopes to work toward an overall safer community, for both motorists and pedestrians.
And with the heads up now out to the public, Crombie is hoping for better results than the crosswalk operation yielded. "Our goal is to have no violations," he said.

Pickles, Preserves & Brews: 9 DIY Fermentation Recipes
The cooler temperatures have us thinking about apple cider, cozy blankets — and fermentation. Winter can be a little too cold, summer can be a little too hot, but mild autumn is just right for making crocks of healthy lacto-fermented pickles like kimchi and sauerkraut, or brewing your own beer, kombucha, or even vinegar. Whether you're a first-time fermenter or a yogurt-maker looking to expand your horizons, these nine recipes will get you started.
• 1 Preserved Lemons: Salt, fresh lemons, a jar and 30 days are all you need to produce preserved lemons, which add a savory brightness to everything from stews to salad dressings.
• 2 Kimchi: Pungent, garlicky kimchi can be divisive, but if you're in Camp Kimchi, making it from scratch means you can tailor it to your taste.
• 3 Sauerkraut: Making sauerkraut is a great introduction to lacto-fermentation, as the process is simple, the ingredient list is short and the results are so much better than store-bought.
• 4 Yogurt: The transformation of a pot of warm milk to a thick mass of creamy yogurt is nothing short of magical!
• 5 Crème Fraîche: Easy, quick, and doesn't even require a thermometer.
• 6 Beer: Emma's adventures in beer brewing are inspiring, from brewing to fermenting to tasting.
• 7 Ginger Ale: Create your own carbonated soda without any special equipment.
• 8 Kombucha: This fermented tea is pricey in stores; make your own version for much less.
• 9 Vinegar: Wondering how to use up the opened bottles of post-party wine you'll inevitably collect over the holidays? Give them a second life as vinegar.

RHS will be at state meet in four events.
The Rolla High School track team will be sending six athletes in four events to the Missouri Class 4 Track and Field Championships through their qualification at last Saturday's Class 4 Section 3 Meet., held at Ozark High School.
Moving on to the Class 4 State Meet, to be held Friday and Saturday at Dwight Reed Stadium on the campus of Lincoln University in Jefferson City, for Rolla are senior Alex McCormack in the boys' 300-meter hurdles, junior Aaron Froehlich in the boys' triple jump, junior Shannon McCaul in the girls' 800-meter run and the girls' 4x800-meter relay team of junior Madison Collier, junior Jade DeShurley, senior Katie Brow and McCaul.
The top four finishers in each event advanced from sectional to state competition.
McCaul paced the Rolla contingent in sectional performance by finishing second in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:23.09 while McCormack was third in the 300-meter hurdles at :39.73; Froehlich was fourth in the triple jump with a personal-best leap of 45-5 3/4, and the Lady Bulldog 4x800-meter relay squad was fourth at 9:58.10.
McCormack and Froehlich both advanced to the state meet last year, with McCormack earning all-state honors in the 300 hurdles. McCaul was a state qualifier two years ago.
Froehlich fell short in the sectional long jump, finishing seventh at 20-2 1/4. Also finishing seventh for the Lady Bulldogs was freshman Sophia Holmes in the 400-meter dash at 1:01.96.
The RHS boys' 4x400-meter relay squad also qualified for sectionals but did not advance, finishing fifth with a unit of Alex McCormack, James Kosbar, Jordan Kaden and Hunter Short at 3:27.87.
As a team Rolla finished 16th in the boys' standings with 17 points and 17th in the girls' standings with 15 points. Columbia Rock Bridge won the girls' sectional team title with 129 points while Jefferson City was the boys' team winner with 97 points.

How can I use a led on Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v to indicate low battery(so I can change it before it dies).
Hello.1. If I am using this board with an BMP085(minimum 1.8v like atmega328P to maximum 3.6v) pressure sensor and CR2450 battery witch is 3v, should I connect the battery to VCC or RAW going in the voltage regulator. I want the battery to work as much as it can ....You can wire the battery to the boards Vcc pin. 2. How can I use a led on Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v to indicate low battery(so I can change it before it dies). One way is to first have the ability to measure the battery voltage wired to the Vcc pin. You can use the method Nick suggested in his prior post. Or a little 'hack' might work as well. There is a on-board red led power light on the Pro Mini board. If you solder a small jumper wire from the junction of R11 and the anode of the red power-on led to an unused analog input pin, you should be able to measure the constant forward voltage drop of the red led, which should be about 1.5 or so (measure it with a DMM so you know what yours actually is). Because the analogRead() command uses Vcc (Avcc actually) as the reference for analog reading, you will find that the 'count value' returned from reading the led Vf will gradually rise as the battery voltage decreases. So you can have a simple function that occasionally reads the analog input pin and when the count value has increased to the 'cut-off' value you want to alert on, you can then turn on the pin 13 led. Simple, no?LeftyThank You,Razvan

Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) at Baltimore Ravens (0-1)
8:25 p.m. Thursday, at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore - TV: CBS
•TV announcers: Jim Nantz, Phil Simms, Tracy Wolfson
•Keys to the game: The Ravens' bubble could burst two weeks into the regular season, and that's factoring only on-field problems. A win and the 10-day gap between games to follow would be a welcome salve. Beating the Steelers will require more pressure, and better coverage, from the nickel defense the Cincinnati Bengals picked apart in the opener. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had a 100.7 passer rating, no turnovers and was sacked just three times in 77...

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (MarketWatch) — On the Street of Dreams, anything is possible.

|Retail sales ex-autos

|Producer price index

|Empire state index

What's wrong with this picture? Early last week, the major market indexes hit all-time highs because the latest round of economic data was weak.
At first blush, this makes no sense. Weak stats mean weak employment, incomes, spending and of course, profits.
So why did the markets consider this good news? The answer is simple: They didn't.
What traders did conclude was that these gloomy numbers were likely to stay the hand of the Federal Reserve when it comes to monetary policy. And this, in turn, means that interest rates will remain where they are today — at rock-bottom.
These days, low interest rates are the sine qua non for stocks to rise. To judge by the importance the markets place on low rates, you would think that they are the only cost of doing business.
You would be wrong. Interest rates are a cost of doing business, but only one of many. There are other costs for the typical firm. These include labor, machinery and equipment, commodities, supplies, utilities and administrative costs.
Of course, rising interest rates on bonds and other fixed-income products do represent competition for stocks; everyone knows that. And with fiscal policy frozen, monetary policy is the only game in town when it comes to managing the economy.
Regardless, as far as I am concerned, the markets are placing far too much emphasis on what the Fed may or may not do.
Good economic news also affects the markets — also in a contrary manner.
For example, at the end of last week, the employment figures were released. They weren't great, but they were pretty good. Guess what? The stock market fell in a decline that continued into this week.
The connection: The economy is gathering strength so the Fed has to start tightening money. This is even more ludicrous than the previous example.
First of all, it came right after the issuance of weak data. Did the economy really change direction in an instant? I don't think so.
Second, even though the top-line change in payrolls was good, underneath it all were some pretty negative numbers.
The jobless rate remained unchanged at 6.7%. Long-term joblessness is still a major issue, while private-sector just returned to its 2008 peaks — include governments and the numbers are much lower.
Lots of new jobs are low-paying. These include, part-time, temps, hotel and retail, not to mention those who are working beneath their skill or education levels. And wages continue to lag behind inflation and taxes.
All that said, when day is done, traders need something to trade off. Today it's monetary policy; tomorrow it will be something else.
Like I said, anything is possible.
