I started watching "More To Love". I don't normally go for the "reality" television, and usually avoid anything to do with "bachelors" or "bachelorettes", but my curiosity about "More To Love" got the better of me and I started watching it.
I really wanted to see just how bad they were going to do it. I feared huge segments on the girls eating habits, or that the guy in question would be a jerk, or something horrid. But so far I'm mildly surprised.
The bachelor seems to be extremely nice and sensitive to a fat woman's feelings and plight... sometimes a little too much so.. like he's a player almost.. but at least he's giving most of these women something they've not had in a long long time.. Hope.
A friend of mine stopped watching the show because they were portraying the women as catty and she thought fat women shouldn't be catty. For the most part, they seem normal to me. Not overly catty, but just a little bit. Sure there are a few women on the show that are major catty, and one is a woman that the bachelor is interested in. (Seriously guy? I understand the attraction of having someone fighting for you, but do you really want to be with someone with that kind of moral fiber - or lack of it?)
There is a different mindset among fat people on attractiveness when it comes to dating. Most of it based in their own insecurities, but you can't blame them for it. Well actually most of the "never been fat" judgy people might blame them, but its not their fault, at least not totally.
There aren't a whole lot of people able to date fat people and be normal about it. Normally when you date someone, you want to show them off, have them meet your friends, brag about them, and be with them constantly. Very few fat women ever experience this, fat men experience this more than fat women. Most people have friends who bear hatred for fat people, and a lot of people are chicken to stand up and say "Yes I like this" among a crowd of people that feel differently.
So when fat people date, often they experience "lets stay in", or "You wouldn't like my friends", or "I'm really just a homebody" from the people they date. When they do go out, if their date is really secure they might experience some handholding or looped arms... but usually that is reserved for places where they know none of their friends are. Or sometimes, if the fat person is unlucky enough to date someone truly pervy, their date may do a lot of PDA in the light of "Hey look what this chick will let me do to her in public."
So I love the show in the way that they bring this plight to life, but I don't know yet if the message is getting across to those who've never truly experienced fat, or if its just coming off as pathetic and whiny.
I will say that I'm half-in-love with the "More to Love" bachelor myself, though there is one big thing holding me back. He said on one episode "Why have a 6-pack when I can have the whole keg?" as his philosophy. This is one of the reasons that many fat women despise chubby-chasers (and why skinny women tend to avoid those guys that insist on women being skinny). We all just want to be happy at whatever size we happen to be at.. we should be prized for who we are not what we weight. It shouldn't be our goal to be fat nor to be ultra-skinny.
It should however be a goal to be healthy and happy with whatever turns life takes, and strive to be the best at whatever lies before us. If that means we lose 50lbs or gain 50lbs, so be it. As someone who has experienced the skinny life as well as the fat life, I know full well that not everything is under your control. As long as your healthy and happy, who cares. Life happens.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. – With four significant storms in the past two years, residents of Fairfield County have experienced more prolonged power outages than they would like .
Some customers went more than a week without power after Hurricane Irene in 2011 and again after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with widespread outages caused by downed wires and fallen trees in the storms. Bearing the brunt of most of the criticisms for the prolonged power outages was Connecticut Light & Power, which had hundreds of thousands of customers in the dark across the state.
"In the aftermath of a storm, a utility company must physically survey the damage to its system to learn what repairs must be made and determine how long those repairs will take," Peter Clarke, senior vice president of emergency preparedness for Northeast Utilities, parent company of CL&P, said recently. "The No. 1 question after a storm is, 'When will my power be back?'"
For some towns, such as Ridgefield, the issue is less about implementation of new technology than it is about communication.
During Irene, Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi said CL&P didn't trust the accuracy of the numbers coming from the town about downed wires and trees, even though many of the reports were coming from first responders who were out in the storm.
After Irene, the town began taking photos with data attached from GIS, or geographic information system, so so CL&P would know exactly where and what the extent of the damage was to the power lines.
After the 2011 hurricane, the communication has improved, but it's still not perfect, Marconi said. Although Ridgefield had a great experience with the CL&P liaison passing along information after Sandy, not all towns did. That's something that will be improved, CL&P said.
Another of the concerns is getting the line crews to the towns that need them.
During Sandy, Norwalk Mayor Richard Moccia said the response from CL&P was disastrous . "It appears they haven't learned anything from the last couple of major storms from last year, and, in fact, it has gotten worse," he said during a press conference.
When asked, Marconi said power companies need to have out-of-state crews in Connecticut sooner in cases of huge storms, a practice known as mutual aid. That give personnel time to rest and learn the rules of how CL&P operates, he said. And it means that a crew from Tennessee, for example, might be working to restore power in your neighborhood.
"It all comes down to who's available at that time," said Mitch Gross, a spokesman for CL&P. His company is among several different organizations that provide mutual aid across the country in times of need.
In an attempt to prevent future power outages in storms, CL&P has been aggressively trimming trees across the state. And from 2014 to 2017, CL&P will be reinforcing the power grid with stronger wires across Connecticut.
But until that work is complete, Marconi says remains concerned about the next major ice storm, which is a far greater threat than another hurricane. An ice storm could knock out power and heat in a widespread part of the state. If the power isn't fixed quickly in that sort of case, he says, there could be a tremendous loss of life across the state.

As companies get bigger and bigger, their needs are going to change — including, probably most importantly, their options for health care as their employee base expands and the costs of those plans start to balloon. But the end result is that employees could be presented with a confusing set of plans to pick from without a whole lot of guidance. There's where Lumity comes in.… Read More

The "motto" dress is the latest fancy of the Parisienne. It is an outcome of and an improvement upon the fad of working blouses and jumpers with the wearer's monogram or cypher. A "motto" gown has a charming little aphorism, or even a slang phrase, fancifully worked in the form of embroidery on the pocket, the neck scarf or the girdle or panels. Sometimes the motto takes the form of a play upon the wearer's name, but no matter what its origin, it must be either "short and smart," or "short and sweet," to achieve distinction and success. Sports dresses, in particular, adorned in this way are very popular, while tea gowns and boudoir wraps often support sentimental or intimate phrases. These latter are so skilfully intertwined in the embroidery that often only those that are shown the words have any hint that they exist.
Rather on the lines of sermons in stones are the new hats worked with a motto in crystal beads. Taken usually from the heraldic motto of the wearer, they are in Latin, and written quite clearly across the front of the small black cloches. The same motto is often repeated on the sunshade by people on the Riviera. New Zealand Herald, 29 March 1924: p. 6
Such whimseys had previously been popular in the 1880s and '90s.
The latest whim of the gilded youth is his autograph embroidered, full length, upon his suspenders. Evening Star [Washington DC] 9 February 1889: p. 10
In bridal lingerie, the motto night-gown is the latest craze. The motto is embroidered, perhaps around the bottom of the skirt, on the cuffs, or on a shield-shaped piece in front, with a border of flowers. Among favorite quotations are: "Come thoughts as sweet as incense crushed from flowers;" "Good-night, sweet, good-night;" "Forget the world and all its cares;" "He giveth His beloved sleep;" "Sweet dreams," etc. Godey's Lady's Book September 1890
A Philadelphia paper states that a belle who is shortly to be married in New York has hit on something original. She has had her dainty silken petticoat embroidered in delicately coloured silks, with verses from her favourite poets and writers. The lines are put just above the hem, so that if in crossing a muddy road the wearer were to raise her skirts an atom higher than usual a passer-by might judge at once by the embroidery on her petticoat if she were a lady of deep reading or only a lover of frivolous verse. Otago [NZ] Witness 30 January 1890, Page 41
Lady supporters of Truman-Barkley or Dewey-Warren may purchase lingerie embroidered with their favorites' names. Register-Republic [Rockford, IL] 22 October 1948: p. 22
Mrs Daffodil's Aide-memoire: The best Mrs Daffodil could do is the Jacobite garter pictured at the head of this post; the 18th-century equivalent of the Truman-Dewey political contest lingerie, one imagines. She is desolate that she has not been able to find true examples of these chatty, ephemeral garments and asks her kind readers to contribute, should they know of a poetic petticoat in their local costume collection. Mrs Daffodil supposes that motto-dresses and the heraldic hats with their insufferable Latin pretensions were the precursors of the witty "I'm With Stupid" singlets often seen in the States. Even "short and sweet" is a slippery slope.
Mrs Daffodil invites you to join her on the curiously named "Face-book," where you will find a feast of fashion hints, fads and fancies, and historical anecdotes
You may read about a sentimental succubus, a vengeful seamstress's ghost, Victorian mourning gone horribly wrong, and, of course, Mrs Daffodil's efficient tidying up after a distasteful decapitation in A Spot of Bother: Four Macabre Tales.

As I get closer to the end of my single-girl life and start to think about living with my soon-to-be husband in August, I've been slowly accounting for all of the expenses we have together. One of them is cable, which he pays for and I watch. I love me some Kardashians, Real Housewives, and Top Chef, and he loves all things sports and Discovery Channel, so the cable is used nearly every day and right now seems like a necessity.
However, I do understand that I am a) not as rich as the Kardashians, b) going to be spending a lot of money on moving expenses and wedding "necessities" in the next few months and c) should probably cut back where I can to save a few extra dollars so that one day I can be as rich as the Kardashian klan….or at least a little more comfortable than I am now on a graduate student stipend.
But, here's the thing. I don't want to live like a poor graduate student and I struggle with that nearly every damn day. I mean, it sucks that we have to stretch our rent budget a little bit to get an apartment that isn't a bug-infested crap hole without a dishwasher. Also, it's going to be so weird when we get a bunch of nice gifts from our registry and then stick them all in our 1 bedroom apartment. I know they are lifetime gifts, and that I will actually use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer frequently, but would I rather have a bigger place, unlimited cable, and view of the lake to go along with it? Of course I would.
So basically the point of the post is this: I don't know what to give up or what to keep. We have student loan debt, but it isn't outrageous, and other than that we both have a good chunk of savings, and will probably be able to live pretty comfortably for a while even when making payments towards our debt. The thing I struggle with is how much we want to, or should, give up in order to get rid of the debt and start to truly save for our future home. In about two years we'll both be graduating and hopefully will be landing jobs that pay a little bit better than what we make now. But at the same time we're going to start thinking about having kids, and man alive, those things are expensive.
I have a feeling this is going to continue to be an internal struggle for me. Should we continue to pay for the luxuries we've grown accustomed to, or should we cut back now in order to reap the benefits later? The bottom line is that obviously, my husband and I will figure this out together, but for right now I feel like I'm in a constant state of "save all of the money! spend all the money! save all the money!"
What would you do? To cable or not to cable?

Another day out
I spent most of the day supporting Headingley Blacksheep Explorer Unit in their attempt at the Six Dales. The older, mixed team, performed brilliantly making Lofthouse (23 miles) with over an hour to spare, Grewelthorpe with 40 minutes to spare, and reaching West Tanfield (35 miles) for the first time in our short history. This was the first time since the new trophies that a mixed 14-19 team had been entered so the leaders were surprised to see this team had competition.
The other team (an all males under 16s team) had problems with some members being slower than the others, and had to split up and reform part way to Lofthouse. Two members of the team made it as far as Grewelthorpe, a personal best for one of them.
Both teams did well, and won the trophies for their classes.
19th North Leeds entered two teams, but due to inexperience they were accompanied by adults and could not enter the under 16 categories, putting them up against fellowships and networks in the Open class. One of the teams got a little lost, which was slightly embarrassing for one of the adults with them Mark C, who was greatly experienced and had even won the competition in the past.

Political theory saw the necessary connections between the ownership and control of bodies and the sovereignty of the state. Foucault's historical inquiries gave rise to a distinctive notion of power, in which he emphasised the importance of its local or micro manifestations, the role of professional knowledge and expertise in the legitimation of such power relationships and the productive rather than negative characteristics of the effects of power. His approach can be contrasted usefully with the concept of power in traditional Marxist sociology, where power is visible in terms of the police and army, concentrated in the state and ultimately explained by the ownership of the economic means of production.

"I've been recognized for my genuine friendships with my homeowners," says Hatter. "I have been with a lot of them after they have settled in their homes. But with a lot of other people, once you close the home and get your commission check, you usually don't talk to them a lot anymore."
Hatter, a sales manager at Pulte Homes' Washington, D.C., division, has consistently been recognized within the company and has won numerous awards locally. With this year's gold award for Sales Person of the Year, he's made it the Nationals.
"We felt it was time to put him up in the big leagues," says Shawn Evans, who is vice president of operations at Pulte Homes' subsidiary Del Webb's Mid-Atlantic Division and who nominated Hatter for the award. "He had a phenomenal year and sold 85 homes, grossed 60 net sales and over $27 million in real estate."
Hatter says he treats every sales presentation as if it were his first for the week. "I want each and every person I'm in contact with to know their current buying situation is ALL that matters," Hatter says in his nomination statement. "Gaining trust at the beginning is essential. ... I've learned with experience that listening first before speaking is far more important than any rehearsed presentation."
He tailors his message and media to his audience, sending text messages to younger prospects and postcards or handwritten notes to older ones who aren't as tech savvy. But without technology, Hatter says selling new homes would be far more challenging. He relies heavily on his Blackberry, enabling him to call or e-mail prospects any time of day. And he uses a computer tracking system to manage customer communication.
But as great as technology is, Hatter says at this time in the market you can't abandon the basics.
"You've got to do absolutely everything you can to create traffic," he says. "The more people that you see, the more homes you'll sell."
Co-op relationships with brokers are essential to Pulte's and Hatter's sales strategy. He takes advantage of every opportunity and methodology to make connections: e-mail campaigns, flyers, Realtor luncheons, broker presentations and even happy hours.
And it works: Hatter has Realtors bringing clients to him all the time. He's reaped similar success from his ongoing relationships with buyers. He's been known to have dinner with a different family every other week.
"I've had many a dinner [with buyers]," says Hatter. "They won't purchase again, but they have relatives and friends."
"Charlie is an amazing individual," says Evans. "He has the ability to bond with people and immediately form relationships. That has been the key to his success."
That bond extends to coworkers as well. Hatter says the people he works with are what he loves most about his job.
"When you work the weekends and put in the hours that we do, it's just good to have friends in the industry," Hatter says.
"He's the quarterback of our sales team," says Evans. "Everybody rallies around him. His talent and his character have really led to his success."

So my father hardly speaks any English, my mom speaks broken english (I'm Chinese-american) how would my bf ask for his blessing? We've joked around having flash cards or him doing charades. I've tried to teach him some simple phrases and he used them on my mom but she had no clue what he said.
I know he's planning to propose because he keeps "hinting" at it. Not much of a surprise person.
So the question is, for you who have family who don't speak English, did your other half ask your dad or parents for your hand in marriage or did they skip that part? If they did, how did he pull it off?

Rhyming verses describe activities that toddlers enjoy, such as splashing, stomping, and making faces. Full-color illustrations.
Reviews 3
Booklist Review
Ages 2^-5. This book, first published in England, is the perfect read-aloud to share with toddlers who are acquiring new skills. In 16 action-packed rhyming verses, including "Stomping Time," "Pitter-Patter," and "Making Faces," children are introduced to colors, shapes, movement, humor, and play. The vibrantly colored illustrations, with round-cheeked, energetic children set against white pages, are filled with bright patterns and plentiful details. Youngsters won't be able to resist imitating these appealing models--and the book gives them ample opportunity to do so. A simple, joyfully conceived book; children will recognize themselves and the activities that fill their days. --Shelley Townsend-Hudson
Publisher's Weekly Review
Simon (Where Are You?) and Winter (Henry's Baby) know what makes toddlers tick. This activity book overflows with cheerful rhymes to inspire dancing, learning, noise-making, role-playing and messes. Right from the get-go, the rhymes elicit participation: "We've been quiet all morning,/ we're bursting to clomp,/ Watch out everybody,/ 'cause we're going to STOMP!" Other pages prompt quieter responses, as in a spread of a playground scene that sends readers on a search for hidden children, or another entitled "Making Faces," in which a series of rhyming questions calls for different goofy facial expressions in response: "Who can be a ghost?/ and puff their cheeks out the most?"; still others teach colors or shapes. There's not a clunker to be found among Simon's rhymes. Her simple, timeless style recalls classic finger-play songs and playtime chants, and will tickle children getting their sea legs in the areas of language and preschool etiquette. Toddlers will easily spot themselves in Winter's gentle, realistic depictions of contemporaries acting silly, busy, naughty and nice in compositions reminiscent of Helen Oxenbury's. With an oversize square format and clean design, this is an ideal choice for sharing in any setting where preschoolers congregate. Ages 2-5. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
School Library Journal Review
PreSThis collection of short verses features illustrations of sweet-faced young children at play. While most of the activities (splashing, stomping, clapping, etc.) are age appropriate and the individual spreads are attractive, the book lacks an overall focus. Many of the rhymes are awkward and dont scan well when read aloud. On one spread, the children bend and stretch their bodies to form a variety of shapesa square, a triangle, a rectangle, a starbut the shapes are not delineated clearly enough for this audience. The last poem, Good-bye, pales in comparison to Margaret Wise Browns Goodnight Moon (HarperCollins, 1947). Good-bye kitten/Good-bye floor,/Good-bye curtains/Good-bye door./Good-bye doll/Good-bye spoon, Good-bye house/See you soon. A fair-to-middling addition.Irene Symons, Queens Borough Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Fans recently turned on to bluesman R.L. Burnside by his work with Jon
Spencer may be surprised to see the cover of his album Sound Machine
Groove. There's Burnside all right, grinning like he just finished
telling one of his homegrown, ribald tall tales -- but something's different.
He's got more teeth, and he looks a good 20 pounds lighter.
A quick glance at the other musicians on the cover, with their mile-high
afros, reveals that this Burnside album -- although it landed in stores just
last month -- is actually quite old. As a matter of fact, Sound Machine Groove was recorded almost 20 years ago.
Though it was funded by a grant from National Endowment for the Arts,
the disc never saw release in the United States. Last month High Tone
Records finally issued the album domestically, complete with three tracks
that previously were unavailable anywhere.
Dr. David Evans, the Memphis State University ethnomusicologist who
produced Sound Machine Groove and penned its liner notes, said
that the album features the type of material one might hear at one of
Burnside's house parties circa 1979.
"They would turn the front room of his house into a juke on the weekends,
buy a few cases of beer," Evans said. "I don't recall any food, but I
think there was some corn whiskey circulating."
As Evans tells it, Burnside's sons, Joseph and Daniel, who appear on Sound Machine Groove would play guitar and bass, and his son-in-law Calvin
Jackson (also on the reissued album) would be behind the drums. Burnside would mostly sing. But then he'd pick up the guitar, maybe the bass player would stay with him, Evans said, adding that sometimes though he'd be joined by the drummer and other times he'd go solo. They would do a shifting set, take a little break, and then do it all over again, he said.
"Usually it would be 15 or 20 people, coming and going, drinking, talking,
dancing, passing out, the occasional fight," Evans added. "Mostly just people having a good time."
The Sound Machine Groove sessions were originally recorded for a
series of 45s released on Memphis State's High Water Records label to
document local and regional folk and popular music. The discs were then
licensed to the French Vogue label for the initial pressing of Sound
Machine Groove in 1981. The High Tone reissue combines those tracks
with three more, including "Sitting On Top of the World," on which Burnside
uses his guitar to mimic a traditional Northern Mississippi fife.
As this album proves, Burnside, now 71, has a much longer history than many of his current fans know, Evans said, adding that he first heard the blues great through recordings his friend George Mitchell made in 1967 that appeared on Mississippi Delta Blues: Blow My Blues Away Vol. 2 (Arhoolie Records).
In 1973, Evans met Burnside playing electric guitar with a drummer at a picnic. "On George's recordings he played acoustic, apparently because his electric was broken, that's what George told me," Evans said. "That was interesting to see him in that context, in a community setting. Then when I moved to Memphis in 1978, I went to visit Burnside."
And when Evans received his NEA grant in 1979, he and Burnside
entered the studio.
Evans predicts Sound Machine Groove will surprise old and new fans of Burnside alike. Those who have known him for a long time and think of him as an acoustic, country blues artist, will see he has a more electric side as well, he said. Those familiar only with the Mr. Wizard (Burnside's most recent album on Fat Possum) side, with Burnside as the focal point of this screaming alternative-rock sound, will hear a more stripped-down bluesman.
"That may reflect Burnside's greater participation with rock-oriented
musicians in later years, at his gigs," Evans said. "He's had a lot of rock musicians sit in with him, even locally, in recent years. And of course, younger
musicians are exposed on the radio, TV to different kinds of music. Rap,
all those rhythms, those beats, they have an effect, even if the drummer's
not consciously trying to play those beats. It's faster, more frantic.
"I myself prefer Calvin Johnson's style," Evans said, laughing. "Of
course, I recorded him."

Obama to address nation about school shooting
- Associated Press
- December 14, 2012 - 1:57 PM
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama will speak from the White House briefing room about the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
The president's comments will be at 3:15 EST Friday. They will be his first on the incident, which has left at least 27 people dead, including 18 children.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said that mass shootings "weigh heavily" on Obama as the president and as a father. Carney said that Friday was not the day to talk about gun control, however.
Obama was not expected to take questions from the media.

Well, I asked David to write me some of his thoughts on what he missed about faith to finish out my series. He was kind enough to oblige because he's lovely that way. I would like to note that he sent this to me while I was in class and I had to quickly figure out how to blink back all the tears and not start crying awkwardly in public. So there's that. Anyway, enough about me, on to the main event and all.
We are creatures of terror, of fear. We come into the world screaming, and for many of us, we leave with a whimper. Death remains the only constant and our lives are shaped by this knowledge. Our entire lives are focused around distracting us from this fact, scrabbling to find meaning in our relatively short lifespans.
As I grew up, I was taught that death was just the beginning. It wasn't something to be looked forward to (though it could be a release), nor something to be sought (though don't flinch from it!), but it wasn't a tragedy. The Seventh-day Adventist church, the denomination I was raised in, puts a lot of focus on the second coming of Christ. Every aspect of life is shown through this lens. Furthermore, the SDA church also believes strongly that after death, the dead are dead until the second coming – no going straight to heaven (and they don't believe in a literal eternal hell).
Seen this way, the terror of death fades. We miss those who have gone before; they're out of our lives and yes, we know that some day, we'll follow them into the grave. But, our sleep will seem like a moment, and then the trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will rise first. Our faithful savior will then wipe away every tear, and there will be tears – those of joy, those of sorrow, those of loss. All things will be fulfilled and find meaning in the second coming, the glorious promise that will come soon – today, or tomorrow.
This comfort – and it is a comfort of sorts – helped me through a lot. I had a dog growing up, a big black curly-haired beast, that I loved more than anything. Sheba followed me everywhere and when he lay down for a nap, I'd put my head on his stomach and read for hours. After he died, and he did die young from poison, I was devastated. The only thing that got me through that loss was the thought that soon and very soon, I'd see him again in Heaven.
My belief in Heaven felt more solid than most things in the world. We humans are creatures of story and legend. They easily feel more real than the absence of meaning. Death isn't easy for us as children, so the adults in our lives explain it in stories. "They're asleep," is easy to imagine; I saw my siblings and parents asleep all the time. "They've gone away," or "Jesus called them home," (though that would never be said at an Adventist funeral) both present simplified versions of reality. Children can understand people leaving or falling asleep, they can't understand the absence of a story, or truly grasp that a story has ended – permanently.
As a child, my mom often read books with me. We'd cuddle up together and spend long hours taking turns reading to each other. After a particularly good book finished, I'd want the next one. I hated books that weren't series – how could the story stop? All of those characters had more to do and I wanted to share that with them.
The end of a good book is a death, of sorts. Those characters lived in our hearts and minds, they awoke our imagination and we, gods of our own realms, breathed life into them. All things end, and all things die – when the last page gets turned, the characters exist only in our memories.
My Nana turned her last page when I was still a Christian. Her last years were rough. She developed dementia and had to go to an intensive care facility. I remember visiting her there and she didn't know who I was, slipping in and out of the past with the ease of a dancer. I held her hand, her skin smooth and translucent; I wiped away the food she didn't notice remained on her mouth. And I thought back through her story – it couldn't end like this. Not really. My Nana was a force to be reckoned with, a strong-willed woman who had gone through famine, war, and abuse. To see her like this hurt. It cut deep, but as I held her hand in that dingy room, I knew that she'd be made whole again when she was finally reunited with her god.
After she died, my Grandpa deteriorated fast. He lasted a few more years and his health broke and buckled. Many of my memories of him involve either his passion for his fellow Jews, or him building things in his garage. Life dealt him a cruel twist – he developed severe arthritis. His skillful strong hands bent into claws and caused him constant pain. The man who once built a cabin by himself, who built flower boxes, wagons (my beloved red wagon), and roofs, he couldn't hold a fork to feed himself much less swing a hammer.
It didn't stop him. Little stopped my Grandpa when he got stubborn. Even though it put him in agony, he went to his garage and built small wooden wagons to raise money for the Adventist school. As usual, he pilfered the wood from construction site scraps.
As stubborn as Grandpa was, even he couldn't escape our ancestral terror. He, too, ended up in the skilled nursing facility. Not quite the same room as his beloved wife who went to the grave kicking, but it looked the same. It smelled the same. And, as I sat in his room and held his hand, he looked at me.
"I'm tired," he said, and he looked it, too. And so I listened to him tell me that he'd lived a life in service to Jesus. In the end, he sacrificed everything for his Christ – he was born a Jew to a conservative family, and when he came to the Lord as a young man, his entire family disowned him. I don't think he spoke to them again in this life, and as a Christian, I don't think he expected to see them again in the next. He gave money and countless hours to the church; he ran the Israelite Heritage Institute, a series of twenty-odd Bible studies designed to bring Jews to Christ. The only thing that truly kept him here was waiting on two final studies that would graduate two more souls.
One came, and Grandpa called it good and died the next day.
It broke me. This time, I no longer believed that I'd see him again. By this time, Heaven had faded into mist and a garbled collection of half-tales, ones never finished. My mom, still a believer, fretted because she decided to have him cremated against his wishes. A Jew in his soul, Grandpa knew that it was important to be buried whole; a pragmatist, my mom said God put him together once, and He could do it again. Death isn't a cheap affair.
As I write this, I'm very nearly thirty. I hope to have a lot of my life left. I have a whole host of people I love, people I might lose. I expect to see my parents grow older, and some day, I'm going to be sitting by my mom's bedside, as I sat at her parents'. I'll hold her hand and it'll feel frail and weak. I'll listen to her tell me about how she finds comfort in the thought of seeing those she loves again at the Second Coming, I'll hear her tell me that we'll only be apart for a short time.
And, god help me, I won't take her story away from her. It's a comfort, of a sort, but it's one I no longer have.
And I miss that.
A lot.

Motion picture is very little brand-new pattern inside market place. This utilizes in various methods and various reasons. Men and women apply it glass windows to prevent generally there furniture and even floor coming from sun light or in correct expression "Sun Burning". Generally, people who apply it understand the huge benefits of this, but there are few down sides than it way too. Let's take a look for.
For the optimistic aspect Window tinting film maintains auto cooler regarding 50% over with out them, this specific guideline is true of homes as well as places of work also though a lesser portion because of smaller sized eye-port percentage. Time frame climate is a confident relation to the actual traveling of your vehicle. And reduced entry of the sun's rays inside car will heighten the life span with the indoor of car. For example, leather car seats and floor covering. In any case this is a huge advantage especially as discussing vehicles because 50% a smaller amount warmth supposed lesser utilization of air conditioner and as an ultimate consequence lower energy ingestion (now you would like to try the idea).
The majority of the cup tinting film can easily prevent ultraviolet mild sun light around 95 %. Although, Ultraviolet lighting can not impact the ground as well as furniture, even now, it is very fatal regarding wellbeing most importantly of the skin injury. It may also help that you manage the general gentle with your home, as an example it cuts down on insights on television monitor. So you can take pleasure in huge games. Glare reduction is straight relative for the obvious light transmittance. It meant reduced the sunshine transfer trough house windows, smaller the volume of brightness.
One of the leading advantages is physical appearance. It is just like sun shades of vehicles. It might increase the visual appeal of vehicle whether it is used by an expert and also the opposite way round. However a highly style and more importantly well synced design of Window Tinting with the inside involving property enhances the appeal of it.
There's an additional minimal good thing about that in case there is auto. If the car's windows crack as a result of automobile accident, your tinting will hold the actual goblet. In any other case the actual broken glass may hurt a person much more specially in eye as well as encounter.
Around the bad side Window tinting film can cause problems at some time. Law enforcement should be capable of seeing what is within the car, if your home windows are usually colored than they stop you and your some time waste items. This happens in most of the areas.
According to a number of research as well as studies it really is proven in which vehicles together with tinted windows trigger a lot more accidents than the cars without it. The reason is really evident, using shaded side house windows an individual isn't totally able to see in the aspect home windows in the event that glass comes to an end. Thus in consequence the driver are not able to observe returning vehicles via facets from your range. And this still left car owner with quite much less time to make a decision what direction to go.
So, being a summary, you are unable to also state that it is a scourge as well as good. You will need to determine the idea according to your individual circumstance.

Wedge sandals from Target, Shorts from AE, Tank from Marshalls, Michael Kors watch, Ray Ban sunnies, Yellow bracelet c/o Eha By Love, Necklace c/o Classy With a Kick
Neon has become an unhealthy obsession. Especially neon yellow. I found these wedges a couple weeks ago for $8 at Target and I was thrilled! The belt was a great score as well- it came with a hot pink one, and both were $6.99.
These shorts are quickly becoming my favorites! They're soft and extremely comfortable- and bonus- go with pretty much everything. On the hot days we've been having, I'm finding the only saving grace to be tops like this that have extreme air flow. The cut-out backs are so cute and breathable! What do you think?

As Zinke Listens On Utah's Bears Ears, Natives Feel Unheard [1]
"BLANDING, Utah — Long after the Black Hawk helicopter carrying Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke flew off into the bright Utah sky, James Adakai stood in the airport parking lot with an angry frown frozen on his face.
As chairman of a tribal commission established to oversee the Bears Ears National Monument, Adakai, who is Navajo, felt he deserved a place in a meeting Zinke arranged at the airport to discuss the monument's fate. Instead, Zinke met and toured the site in helicopters with Utah government officials and others who adamantly oppose the first U.S. monument designated at the request of Native American tribes to preserve artifacts and sacred lands.
"You see how they do us?" Adakai said.
Zinke was on his first trip to southern Utah since President Trump signed an executive order to review Bears Ears and 26 other monuments. Zinke stepped into the center of a land dispute that is as old as the Indian Wars."

My book club recently finished Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. I was intrigued to read it, as Mr. Palahniuk wrote Fight Club, so I was expecting some real mental exercise.
Not so much.
The only theme I really found interesting was the question 'Who deserves to die?' If you could kill with a thought, who would be worm-food? I can think of one or two folks who would have to make nice with me P-D-Q. (One of the members of my club mentioned that 'Road Rage' would become a whole new concept, and the streets would be littered with bodies before she got to work in the morning. There is a scene very like that idea in the book, and frighteningly enough, it made me chuckle. Random death due to snitty attitudes should NOT make me chuckle. Bad girl – BAD!). The necrophilia theme, and the character of Nash, were so disturbing and disgusting that I couldn't see what message the author was trying to send, unless it was the misogynistic concept that a woman is better in bed when she's dead (more relaxed, you see). I was so grossed out that if I ever meet Mr. Palahniuk, I will probably look sideways at him.
The characters didn't do it for me, either. There was not a one I felt connected to or cared about. The main character, Mr. Streater (turns out his first name is Carl) is a tormented soul who I wish I could empathize with, but instead find myself annoyed with. His self-mutilation and disconnectedness are not the way I would handle trauma, especially not so many years later, so I'm instantly put off. When I read about the events that led to the writing of the book, though, my level of empathy rose considerably, and some of the plot elements made more sense. I found myself empathizing with the author, though, and not his characters, so the purpose of the book was not served.
The big reveal at the end does come as a bit of a surprise (and kind of a gross-out, imagine), and that was good. I hate figuring it all out too soon.
On the whole, a C grade from me.

Abstract2LR proposes to develop a malicious source code scanner that can flag sections of potentially `bad' source code that is vulnerable to exploitation or may contain latent malicious content. This effort will evaluate and compare current methods for detecting malicious code with a novel method based on code-logic signature analysis and discrimination. It will develop pattern classes that are associated with patterns of logic instructions present within actual malcode specimens. We expect malcode control flow logic patterns to cluster in `pattern space' (i.e. revealing code logic pedigrees). This is because specific algorithmic logic must be used to effect specific behaviors. Specific exploits are achieved by specific behaviors. The logic that codes malicious (exploitive) behavior becomes the signature. If a group of malware specimens all use the same exploitive behavior, their signatures will all have similar traits. In some sense, this is akin to DNA patterns and how they also cluster for different pedigrees.

AF and I started out driving from Vancouver, WA to visit the White Oak Alpaca Farm in Woodland! The scenery was absolutely beautiful riding along the Lewis River and seeing all the greenery and mountain in the distance.
At the farm we could watch the many Alpacas (60) that were roaming about in the different pens. They all seemed to be so inquisitive! Fun watching them running and frolicking about amongst themselves. When setting up to take a picture you better be QUICK—because as soon as you are ready to snap the button they are off and running!
The owner gave us a little tour and explained the behavior and antics of the alpaca. Very interesting…will make for more blogging when I have more time.
Along with seeing and watching the animals, there were many bags of wool (coats) from this year's shearing (white, black, brown, gray and various shade of each) that we could touch and view and purchase. Different yarns ready for a knitting project were waiting to by bought, also. Guess what! I bought MORE YARN! Now will be starting another project and will have a picture of the animal that the wool actually came from. Neat!
This was a day that other spinners were also visiting the farm and several were actually sitting and spinning. WOW! there is so much to learn about alpacas and other fiber producing animals, wool, yarns, spinning and so much more.
We stopped at the "Oak Tree Restaurant" to have a little lunch before heading back to Vancouver. Nice place and we plan to return again, love the little gift shop.
We then continued to the Amtrak train station to pick up my tickets for a cross country trip which I will start this coming Thursday. I'm as excited as a little kid getting a new toy! I will be traveling to Louisiana and Mississippi to attend our granddaughter's yearly dance recital. Then she and I will fly back to Portland so she can spend part of her summer vacation with her grandma and grandpa here in the Northwest.
Next, we stopped at a coffee shop for a latte, snack, some chat time, and my favorite activity–KNITTING!
Finally, we arrived back home to rest up after our "Out and About!" adventures of the day!

St. Faustina and our Lord's Divine Mercy
Tomorrow is the feast of Divine Mercy. The Polish nun St. Faustina Kowalski received numerous visions, mystical experiences, and favors which she, in obedience to her confessor, recorded in her diary. The essence of the messages which she received was that the Lord wanted once again for people to be aware of His infinite Divine Mercy. Part of the revelations which she received was our Lord asking her to promote His Divine Mercy through a feast to be celebrated on the second Sunday in Easter.
Faustina Kowalska was born in the rural village of Glogowiec on Aug. 25, 1905. At 20, she was admitted to the convent of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Warsaw. For the next 13 years, she carried out humble tasks as cook, gardener and porter. She died in Krakow on Oct. 5, 1938.
While living her hidden, humble life, she began to be favored with the mystical experience of consecration to the Divine Mercy. She received visions, revelations, and hidden stigmata and, at the suggestion of her spiritual director, began to write about these experiences in her diary in 1934.
Faustina Kowalska's life centered on the proclamation of Divine Mercy to every human being. Her spiritual legacy to the Church is devotion to the Divine Mercy, inspired by a vision in which Jesus himself asked that a portrait be painted of him with the inscription "Jesus I trust in you," which she commissioned to a painter in 1935.
Sister Faustina's diary, entitled "Divine Mercy in My Soul," revealed how Our Lord entrusted her with the mission to proclaim to the world once again, the evangelical message of his mercy and to establish new ways of devotion to God in his attribute of Mercy for all, especially those in greatest need.
The essential and fundamental characteristic of devotion to the Divine Mercy is trust in Jesus, a point which the Lord stresses, according to St. Faustina's diary.
All forms of devotion to the Divine Mercy must stem from trust, according to the revelations given to the Polish nun, whether it is venerating the image of Divine Mercy, or praying the chaplet of Divine Mercy, or observing the hour of great Mercy -- 3 in the afternoon, the time that Jesus died on the Cross -- or receiving the sacraments on the feast of Divine Mercy.
The devotion revealed to St. Faustina urges the faithful to act daily with a spirit of mercy toward their neighbor, with prayers, words and deeds.
The Divine Mercy Chaplet is another way of growing in an understanding, appreciation, and practice of Divine Mercy. The Chaplet can be prayed on a Rosary.
. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.
2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).
4. Conclude with (three times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:
"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who
says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests
will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most
hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will
receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to
know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to
those who trust in My Mercy...."
"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I
will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just
judge but as the Merciful Savior".
I have found this to be a wonderful prayer. I have often used the five decades to mediate on the five sorrowful mysteries or the five wounds of Christ. Have a wonderful Feast Day!

- Mrs.SplatterPaint
- 6 years ago
- Wedding: October 2011
After a lot of drama and wondering if our pictures we were actually going to get our pictures, we got them last night and we are thrilled. Our photographer really captured the special moments throughout the day. Our only regrets are that we met our trainer after the wedding and have both lost over 20lbs since then. If only we looked how we do now then…
Here are some of the getting ready pics
Time for the dress!!
Hey! I'm a bride!

And some shots of the dress and accessories

In the Q3 earnings conference call, CEO John Thompson announced an earning shortfall and as is the case most of in these cases, announced a layoff of 800 employees (4.5%) in order to meet Wall St. earnings estimates for the next quarter – it's always easier to cut your way to profitability than it is to grow sales. The good news is that CEO Thompson will get his bonus….($1.68M on top of his $800K salary). Mr. Thompson has made a $71.84M in the last 6 years as CEO of Symantec. Has anybody thought of reducing the executive salaries to save a few jobs?
In another cost cutting move, the company will also be transferring it's IT operation and finance operations and employee to HP's Electronic Data Systems. It will be comforting for Symantec employees to hear that last month HP laid off a massive 24,600 employees when it acquired EDS. Symantec employees better start practicing "Do you want fries with that?"
Update: Symantec competitor McAfee in their Q3 conference call announced record sales (and no layoffs).

Is political correctness a useful concept, or does it stifle honest discussion?
I believe political correctness is a useful concept. It allows people to focus on the facts instead of possible prejudices. To point out a person's age, race, and status in society may give people a bias opinion on the matter. For example if someone got shot, it should not matter if the person is of African, Mexican, Caucasian or Asian decent. The things that should matter is the motive and intent or whether it was in self-defense. I do not believe it stifles honest discussion, the information that describe a person based on looks and faith should be noted but not be the sole focus. Some of the information can give insight on potential motives but should not be what determines a person's innocence in the court of law.
***Useful: adj. Able to be used for a practical purpose or in several ways.

Alampur is about 200 kms from Hyderabad on the banks of River Tungabadra in Mahaboob Nagar district of Andhra Pradesh. River Krishna and Tungabadra confluence here and the place Alampur is known as Sangama Kshetram and it is also referred to as Dakshina Kailsam.
View of temple towers of Nava Brahma,from River bund.
The temple dates back to 6th Century. We see 9 temples here in Alampur, known as Nava Brahma dedicated to Lord Siva, built by Badami Chalukyas. The Nava Brahma temples are Taraka Brahma, Swarga Brahma, Padma Brahma, Bala Brahma, Garuda Brahma, and Arka Brahma, kumara Brahma, Veera Brahma and Viswa Brahma.
We travel towards Karnool from Hyderabad to reach Alampur. We take a left turn when it is about 15 kms to reach Karnool. We have a sign board on the highway.
As we travel ahead we see an arch welcoming us to Jogulamba temple. From there we may have to travel about 12 kms to reach the temple in Alampur town.
Bala Brahma Temple is the place, where we enter first. As we enter inside we see a huge Nandi and two set of padams which is supposed to be of Lord Siva and Sakthi. Then we enter into a mandapam where we see idols of Narashimar, Lord Siva and others.
There is a sanctum for Ganesha and next to it there was a small sanctum with a light. They it was the place where Goddess was kept.
We see Navagraha's which are different from the usual type of idols in other temples.
We enter into Artha mandapam, from where we can see Lord Siva in Linga form in the main Garbha graham. Here they say the water poured on Siva Lingam as Abishekam does not flow out anywhere. With special ticket of Rs300/ for Abishekam, devotees are permitted inside the main sanctum to perform abishekam.
We see two small idols in sitting posture outside the main Garbha graham which are called as Chandi and Mundi. These two idols were originally kept to either sides of Jogulamba. As we go around the temple sanctum we see many idols.
We see south Indian style of temple tower for Jogulamba Temple. The temple was reconstructed in the year 2005. As per Mythology this is one of the Sakthi peetam, where "Oordhava Danta Pankthi" (Upper jaw with tooth) of Sati Devi fell here in this place.
In the year 1930 the temple was demolished by Muslim invaders. The main idol and consorts were damaged by them. Disfigured idols of Jogulamba and other Deities were, protected and repaired by devotees who placed them in Bala Brahma temple.
Goddess Jogulamba is seen in sitting posture. She is also known as Gruha Chandi.When Aarthy is given one can see Bat, Lizard, Scorpion and skull adorned in her hair.
As per legand Maharishi Jamadagni lived with his wife Renuka Devi and his sons worshiping Bala Brahma Swamy. Renuka matha used to make a pot of mud daily and used to fetch water for pooja purpose. One day she saw a Gandravas bathing in River with their wives. She was disturbed by them and was not able to make a pot on that day, she returned home empty handed. When Jamadagni Muni came to know about what has happened, in his anger he asked his son to remove her head. His sons were not ready to do the act and he cursed them. Parasurama his youngest son agreed to do and he cut the head of his Mother. Muni was pleased with his son and offered him boon. He prayed his father to give life to his Brothers and Mother in return for the boon. Life was given to them.
Veera Brahma temple
We see Chakkram carved to the inner celing of the artha mandapam in Veera brahma Temple.
Veera Brahma sculpture carved to the inner celing of the artha mandapam.
Sri Viswa Brahma Temple.
Sri Viswa Brahma Sculpture carved to the inner celing of temple.
Chakkram, is seen to inner celing of Viswa Brahma Temple.
Nandi, seen in front of Sri Viswa Brahma Temple.
Naga Devata, sculpture seen in Arkka Brahma Temple.

Well, to be honest, it was the ammo...the gun didn't like the ammo. How do I know this? Because the PX4 had the same issue with the exact same ammo. Both guns exhibited the same problem and both had the same problem on the first round of ammo.
|This choked the P11. The side of the round is flat and if you look closely, you can see rifling marks.
|Here's a different view.
|The PX4 choked on this one (The pictures show two totally different rounds, each coming for a different box -- the boxes have the same lot number, though).
|You can see the rifling marks on the gun...this is not typical of a chambered round that was extracted.
The ammo I was using was Winchester White Box 124-grain FMJ. I've shot WWB from this gun many times, but this is the first time I've shot WWB 124-grain from it.
Now, it's the fault of the ammo, BUT the PX4 had no problems after the first round choked it...it shot the rest without issue. The P11 had to be cleared or had to have it's slide smacked multiple times.
The P11 was cleaned and lubed well, so the problem isn't because it was dirty or needed lube. It was due to the gun being tight. It's a pro of the brand but in this case, it is also a con. This is not the first time I've had to deal with the gun being plagued by out-of-spec ammo...it ruins a range session, especially if it's my carry gun and I'm trying to polish my trigger skills. If I'm spending more time clearing the gun than shooting it, that's not fun nor does it give me confidence in the gun. Now, I know this is practice ammo and I know that self defense ammo will not have such issues (far less likely than practice ammo, at least), but I can't practice with SD ammo. Well, I could, but that would NOT be cost effective.
I'm tired of dealing with the P11's fickleness. It is now retired from EDC duty. I retired it early out of frustration.
I still need a good holster, though. Right now I'm using one of my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 holsters with a PX4 compact shell. It works well, but I want something that I can easily take off and put back on, so I ordered one of N82 Tactical's Professional series holsters.
I also ordered 3 more magazines. The mags are generally expensive (but cheaper than the $50 that P11 mags cost). Beretta sells them for $40. After searching far and wide, I found that Ammo Depot had them for $22 each! The next cheapest was $33 at Tombstone Tactical.
I went to the range with the owner of a business that I'm transferring over to. I brought my own ammo but he insisted that we use his...he brought a small ammo can of Tula ammo. I shot about five mags of that from my gun. It didn't choke at all (and the P11 didn't choke on it either when I shot Tula from it awhile back). I was impressed with that ammo, so when I got home, I ordered 1000 rounds of Wolf from Ammo Depot. The link shows a case of 500. I ordered two of them.
I also traded guns with my new boss (he brought a Springfield XDM, the 4" model). He shot well enough with my gun but he didn't shoot it like he did his XDM. He said he loved the heft of the Storm. Now, I loved his gun. I haven't shot striker-fired in awhile (I've several of them). I thought I would have issues with the trigger. Nope. My grouping was tight. It was just as tight as when I shoot my DA/SA guns. I might have to look into that gun. The trigger was better than what's in my XD Mod 2.
Oh, and I also got a notice that a store now has a medium P320 subcompact grip module in stock, so I ordered that, especially since those are difficult to come by.
Lastly, I ordered stealth levers for the PX4 Storm. I ordered both the stealth safety/decocker levers and the slide catch levers. Those should arrive soon (it's coming from a shop in Italy...I ordered from them since Beretta USA didn't have those parts in stock). Once it arrives, I'll convert to the G-type.
So, this next few weeks will be fun. I've more info to share about a recent range visit, but I'll do that in a different blog entry (it involves the Bersa Thunder).
