I have to ask that question because it something that people face everyday. People make mistakes in their lives, they sin, they seek God for forgiveness, and according to the scriptures, in Jeremiah 31:34, the latter part of the verse reads, " …….declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin will I remember no more." God does not continue to through our past in our faces, God forgives the past and desires for us to move forward to the future. When there is a constant reminder of what you have done in your past, it opens the door for guilt once again to set in, for shame to set in, for the unworthiness to set in. It is also a sign of unforgiveness on the part of the person who continues to remind you of who they think you are because of a mistake you made in the past. As long as there is a reminder of who you use to be, you will never be completely free from the bondage that has been plaguing you. Many Christians growth is stunted because we look at who they use to be instead of who they are today.
God has compassion on us, but what about man? What if others would continue to bring up your past and hold it against you? The word tells us in Micah 7:19, "He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." If we are going to kick people while they are down, remind them of their past, they will never be free to live according to the way God desires them to live, because they will continue to be in bondage, because of man. God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to die for us, Jesus loved us so much that He did not come off the cross, but He stayed there, suffered, bled and died, just so our sins would be covered under the blood. Jesus never intended for us to remain in bondage by man, but to be free in Him. Jesus never wanted us to be beat up because of our past, but to learn and grow in Him.
Instead of drawing people closer to God, we are driving a wedge. Pretty soon, your witnessing and your testimony will have no validity, because you have turned someone away instead of drawing them closer. God forgives and forgets, why not man? God wants us to press toward the mark of a higher call instead of reliving the past over and over again, because someone wants to keep reminding you. II Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away, behold all things become new." Philippians 3:13, 14 reads, "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." We need to take on the characteristics of Christ; we need to stop holding things against people and reach out lovingly to encourage them to continue to grow. We need to release people from the bondage that we have put them in, desiring that be awarded the opportunity to grow in the grace of God as we have. We need to stop kicking people while they are down, but give them an encouraging word to lift them up. Stop looking at who they use to be and start looking at who they are now in Christ, remember, you use to be something else also, and where would you be now, if people held your past against you?

As much as the past haunts us when being reminded of it,we should be able to move ahead by learning from it.
We should also stand firm and be focused on moving ahead even if we are told right in the face that we had a past that was questionable.

So many of us have been haunted by the past, sometimes to the point of allowing it to interfere with our spiritual fulfillment in the present. I am not trying to promote my work here, far from it! but I hope you will take time to read an article I just reposted on things of the past.
God alone, has control of our past, our present and our future.
We must not allow anyone, ourselves included to let the past rule our today.

Hello everyone!
I'm happy to be able to help Kayla out by providing a guest post. I feel like she's a friend and an inspirational fellow blogger. She's fairly transparent when it comes to what she likes as far as nail art.... Is it bright? Animal print? Neon? Colorful? Then she's going to love it!
I decided to go with a jewel toned peacock design. It's fairly easy to recreate and doesn't require freehanding skills, just a gradient sponging then stamping.
I started by painting my nails with 1 coat of Zoya Holly and let that dry. Then I took the flat side of a triangle makeup sponge and applied a swipe of Zoya Holly, Barielle A Bouquet for Ava, & Sinful Colors Let's Talk. While those are still damp on the sponge I dabbed my nails several times to apply/blend the gradient. Then I repeated the process for each nail. Once all of my nails had been sponged once, I repeated it a second time on each nail to deepen the colors.
Once that was dry I stamped the image from BM-212 with China Glaze 2030. Then I used a small dotting tool to apply the different glitter polishes randomly to the center dots. I used Zoya Aurora, China Glaze Dorothy Who?, & Orly Halley's Comet. Then I applied 1 coat of Seche Vite topcoat to seal and protect the design.
Thank you Kayla for featuring me as a guest blogger & I hope you all enjoy this design! Please check out my blog, Polish Art Addiction, if you're interested in seeing more of my nail art.

Document Type
Nonautomated or tabletop procedures are widely used in derived stimulus relations research . These procedures offer several advantages to the researcher, not least of which is the interactive format of the task. However, this feature is often criticized because of the possibility of experimenter cuing and imprecise experimental control over task presentations. These limitations, combined with the considerable procedural differences that exist between studies, suggest that a review of nonautomated procedures in derived stimulus relations research is warranted. The present paper will consider some of the methodological features of nonautomated procedures including experimental setting and sessions, task format, experimenter training, response definition, reinforcer delivery, intertrial intervals, and interobserver reliability. Basic methodological safeguards will be proposed to ensure that experimental control is rigorously maintained in future research with nonautomated procedures.

text: So I'm pretty experienced in the field of slot-1 flashcarts. I have 2, an R4 and a SCDS1 V2. But recently I've been wanting to play GBA ROMS and have known for awhile there is no way to boot GBA ROMS from a slot-1 cart. I took a peek at some slot-2 kits and it was quite confusing. Like how some slot-2 kits can boot NDS ROMS but don't have GBA ROM compatibility? I dunno, but I'm completely lost. So if someone could do the honors of explaining how a slot-2 kit works it'd be greatly appreciated. On another hand, I'm looking to play GBA ROMS on my DS Lite/GBA SP, compatibility with homebrew, (ex. Quake II DS, which requires slot-2 RAM) and maybe some other features that I haven't come across, but would like. If possible I'd like the cart to be the original GBA cart size so it fits in my SP too, and if someone could recommend a reputable dealer to buy a slot-2 kit from that'd be much appreciated as well. I am considering buying another slot-1 solution, seeing as R4 is pretty much dead. (I've had mine since it came out). I was looking at a CycloDS Evo, but if my next slot-1 solution can somehow affect the ability to play GBA games, a heads up would be great. =D I've done a bit of HW and I've found that I'd like to have a real-time clock if possible, but with removable media (CF, SD, miniSD, microSD, etc...) and if it was the size of GBA cart that'd be wonderful too. Does such a thing exist? o_0 I've also noticed alot of retailers throw in a "Passkey" as part of a bundle for slot-2 carts. What does this do and is it really necessary?

A rash caused by strep throat begins on the neck and face and looks similar to a sunburn, according to KidsHealth. The rash has tiny bumps throughout it, and it may be itchy. If left untreated, it quickly spreads to the torso and other body parts, and creates characteristic red streaks in the skin folds around the underarms and elbows. When the skin affected is pressed, it typically turns white.Continue Reading
By the sixth day of the strep infection, the skin begins to peel, according to KidsHealth. Other symptoms of strep throat that help confirm a diagnosis include a sore throat and a fever above 101 degrees Fahrenheit. The tonsils and throat can appear white, red or dotted with pus, and the infection can cause chills, vomiting and loss of appetite.
When using antibiotics to treat strep throat, the infection is generally cleared with a 10-day course of antibiotics. However, it may take longer for swollen glands and tonsils to return to normal. Strep throat is diagnosed by taking a throat culture. The bacteria that causes a strep infection is highly contagious and is passed by sneezing and coughing. Using separate drinking glasses and utensils helps prevent its spread, as does good hand washing.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

Feast and fast
Most of the Christian community celebrated Ash Wednesday last week. In the modern church, it is a day whose significance is the beginning of Lent, the period of six weeks leading up to Easter, the day after the end of Mardi Gras. As with many, if not most, church dates, its history can give a glimpse into the history of our civilization.For all of its importance to the survival of humanity, food has rarely been a sure thing in our history. Rather, with the exception of those fortunate enough to be in the upper class, it has been a variable, especially in the late winter months. Many authorities believe that the use of fasts in the early traditions of the Church have has as much to do with a predictable scarcity of food as with piety. The prevalence of fasts from All Saints in late October to Pentecost in the spring seems to bear this out. Fasts were traditionally a time to concentrate on piety and penance, not popular themes at any time through history. They were normally followed by a major feast, such as Easter. From medieval times, western peoples practiced a tradition known as "Twelfth Night". This kept the celebration of Christmas going through Epiphany. Predictably, people were loath to end the holiday in the dead of winter and return to the bleak business of survival. This probably helped lead to the practices which became known as Mardi Gras. In some countries, the Carnival Season begins the night of Epiphany, with parades and parties running until Shrove Tuesday.Traditional religious fasts were quite strict. For various symbolic reasons, the Lenten fast runs for forty days. The time of eating, type of foods allowed, and quantity were regulated, not only by the Church and custom but by the fact that this fast takes place at the end of winter when stored foods are running low. Obviously, fats and eggs would not be plentiful in this time – and the eating of them was forbidden during the fast. Without a means to keep them, and not wanting to waste the food, those who had such luxuries needed to get rid of them before the start of the fast. Throwing parties seems to have been the solution; "shrove pancakes", traditionally served on Shrove Tuesday (also known as "fat" Tuesday because of the amount of food consumed) are high in eggs and fats – an attempt to use those substances before they went bad. The idea of such excessive consumption grew into a week long celebration with parades, parties and dances. It became a traditional time to appoint new knights, hold tournaments, weddings, and other celebrations; gatherings which, by definition, could not take place in the upcoming forty days of fasting. The term Mardi Gras, which strictly translates as "Fat Tuesday" became the term for the week preceding Ash Wednesday. The party comes to an abrupt end at midnight on Tuesday. In many communities, the revelers proceed directly to the Church for a service which signals the start of Lent.In years past, it became fashionable to deny oneself something through the period of Lent; normally something which should be avoided anyway, such as tobacco, alcohol, or excessive sweets. This begs the idea of the fast, which is to deny oneself something which will be restored on the day of the feast. We rarely deny ourselves – voluntarily, at least – much of anything. We have become copious consumers of food, energy, oil, and the resources of our world. The slab of meat we normally place on a plate as a serving for one meal is more than is consumed for a day in most middle class households in Europe. We turn on the tap for hot water, expecting it to be there without any more serious consequence to the budget than the cold -rarely recalling that it is actually considerably more expensive. In many parts of the world, tenants of apartments are charged an additional fee based on the quantity of hot water they use. We believe in the dream of our own residence, with a yard and space between us and the neighbors – a luxury reserved for the upper class in most parts of the world.There is an appreciation for amenities that seems to require an absence of them to flourish. A week without coffee or soft drinks makes the first drink after the abstinence seem more flavorful. A month without a favored food makes the taste even better when next consumed. Perhaps we have done ourselves a disservice by doing away with the idea of fasting. Even without the religious connotation, a heightened appreciation of the resources we so blithely use would not be amiss.New Orleans prides itself on a Mardi Gras celebration unsurpassed anywhere in the world, including in the countries which created the event. The party will be covered by the media, in all its glory. Perhaps we should take a little time to remember that here is a reason for the party, a fast to follow the fun. Perhaps it would do no harm to remember that a little self denial can lead to a greater appreciation. Lisa Peterson is the County Attorney for Nolan County.

With all of those saved-up vacation days begging to be used, now's the perfect time to start making plans for the three-month stretch of warm weather. Tropical climes are beckoning. California, Florida, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Bahamas—you can already see yourself sprawled underneath an oversized parasol, sucking down your umpteenth pina colada while your eyes search desperately for the server so he can bring you another.

Total Nonstop Weekly – 08.21.09
Welcome back to your source for everything that is TNA. It's Total Nonstop Weekly and this week I have some news that will most likely get me a restraining order to quit publishing news that could be detrimental to the success or the failure of certain individuals. This week's format will be slightly different. Instead of dedicating a single section for TNA videos, I'll put them in random places. I apologize for the lateness, but I just got full-time where I work and I was putting in extra hours this week to fill the gaps, but I'll make up for it as we go along.
But first off…let's go Rapid Fire!
TNA Rapid Fire
TNA has signed Hamada to a contract and will be debuting on iMPACT shortly.
Abyss has Twitter. Tweet away twits.
Dixie Carter will be making her TNA iMPACT debut next week on Spike TV.
TNA will be debuting a TNA Knockout's Tag Team Championship beginning with a tournament next week on iMPACT.
Bobby Lashley has a new nickname: "The Boss". Insert your witty joke here.
Webmatch: Kyoshi v. Homicide
This week has been quite busy in the news front as there are three huge stories generating buzz. It's the end of the week and I'm sure you had your fill of at least one of these stories, so I'll be very brief.
WDKD: What Did Kurt Do?
Last Saturday, Kurt Angle was arrested for violating a PFA (or what I want to call it, a restraining order) that was placed on him hours before by his estranged ex-girlfriend, Trenesha Biggers (TAFKA Rhaka Khan). He also got caught with possession of HGH, driving on a suspended license, and harassment. With a rap sheet like that, the media turned their attention away from Michael Vick's signing with the Philadelphia Eagles and focused on Kurt Angle as being the home wrecker in this scenario. The arrest threw the IWC into a frenzy as it was unknown if Angle would make it to Orlando in time for TNA Hard Justice.
The frenzy would subside once Angle was allowed to post bail and take the next flight out to Orlando. It remains to be seen what happens in this ongoing investigation as we've only heard from Angle and his attorney regarding the matter. Biggers has yet to comment on the happenings and will most likely not comment since it may end up costing herself in the long run. The rundown is that Angle was forced to leave his home and Biggers was allowed to stay. However this came to be is not known since its one thing to kick someone out of the house, but to kick the homeowner out is another thing.
With Angle released on bond, speculation came to be that Angle would drop the title, but we forget that with TNA being a private company (unlike the WWE), TNA doesn't have to explain anything to anybody, so by using that logic, Kurt Angle is still champion.
If Randy Orton can emit feces into random handbags, be an asshole in real-life, and get injured every so often be a WWE Champion, Kurt Angle can be a TNA World Champion for living the troubled life of being a celebrity.
Long story short, Kurt Angle is a victim of his own success. Angle has already spoken that he has proof that Biggers was the one following him so he could purposely get in trouble for violating the restraining order. The next few weeks will surely be interesting to say the least.
My prediction: Angle gets cleared of the possession charges and the violating of the PFA, but faces a fine for driving with a suspended license. Also, we will most likely never see Trenesha Biggers in a wrestling ring for any wrestling promotion because this ordeal will have a negative impact on her character. It's a sad reality, but we never seen Amy Weber in TNA (or anywhere else for that matter) after she left the WWE over claims of harassment from Randy Orton.
Hermie's Hotseat with Christy Hemme
Spike TV & TNA Extend Partnership
In a press release by both TNA & Spike TV, it was confirmed that TNA iMPACT would continue to air on Spike TV through 2012. Included in the deal is the weekly production of iMPACT and ten one-hour specials from time to time. This is perceived to be a good deal for both TNA and Spike TV, who has been happy with TNA's ratings as of late. Things seem to be heading to the right direction for Total Nonstop Action. The news garnered interest within the entertainment industry and it will be interesting to see how TNA does in the next three years.
TNA Makes Some Changes
At the TNA iMPACT tapings, there was one notable difference as Don West was not in the color commentator seat. After sitting alongside Mike Tenay for seven years, Don West moved up the corporate ladder. Don West is now in charge of merchandise development and sales initiatives. This is up his alley as he has knowledge in merchandising and sales. His replacement is none other than Taz, who has years of experience calling the action for WWE. The mood has changed within the broadcast position.

Critical Critique: "A Modest Blog apologizing for thinking highly of TNA"
This won't be a regular feature of Total Nonstop Weekly, but when another Pulse Wrestling writer writes something about TNA that I can come up with a rebuttal to, this will be the place you will see it. I call it the Critical Critique. This week, I'm going to critically critique Pulse Glazer's Modest Blog on apologizing for thinking highly of TNA.
Pulse Glazer responds to TNA's recent move on keeping the TNA World Title on Kurt Angle despite his arrest the day prior. He brings up Kurt's past with the WWE and how he was let go for his abuse towards painkillers and for not being in the right frame of mind. He made a point that some of the readers made about this being a prime time for Matt Morgan to be main event material.
Before I begin, I have to begin by saying that I'm not high on Matt Morgan as a main eventer at this moment. He does have the talent, but he hasn't had the chance to prove himself on a continuous basis. He wrestled AJ Styles three times to earn the shot at Hard Justice, but I'm easily convinced that AJ Styles is the Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair of TNA and he could wrestle a broomstick to a three star or higher match. Matt Morgan is growing on me, so it will be a matter of time when I can believe that Morgan is main event material.
Angle retained the title not because TNA doesn't care about what Angle did, but because that was the plan at that time. Right now, Angle is not in jail, so why should TNA alter their plans? Sure, Rob Van Dam was caught with pot before and the WWE decided to have RVD drop the ECW Title shortly after the news broke. WWE is a publicly traded company and had they kept RVD as a champion, it would send sound waves that would hurt WWE in the long run. TNA is the exact opposite. They are a private company and as was noted by their official spokesman not having any comment regarding Angle's arrest shows that TNA can maintain their leverage because they only have to answer to the viewers watching their program and Spike TV. If Kurt Angle would have to serve jail time for his actions, then yes, I would envision seeing them move the title off Kurt and taking him off TV for awhile.
I always believe in the "innocent until proven guilty" logic that everyone who is accused has. Angle's arrest isn't an admission of guilt and had TNA went ahead and took the title off Kurt only to find out that Angle wasn't guilty…it would make TNA look bad.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I do agree that TNA does need to make new stars, but Pulse Glazer obviously missed the plethora of stars that were made when The British Invasion, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Kyoshi, and Eric Young formed the World Elite. That faction has the backing of the Main Event Mafia. There's your stars being made right there. Eric Young was in limbo for the longest of time…being dicked around by creative and stripped of the titles he ever held due to lack of creative reasoning. Matt Morgan being in his first PPV main event is proof that he is going to be a star. It wasn't expected by anyone that Matt would win the title in his first PPV main event. He made a good showing and he made a good showing the following iMPACT, so the star in Morgan is still shining and it will be a matter of time before he becomes the next top guy in TNA.
Agree or Disagree? Sound off in the comments!

Ron Burkle and Eli Broad, the two LA billionaires, submitted a complex bid today to take control of 31% of Tribune Co. stock. Here's the NYT story--long on details of the deal, but with mere speculation concerning the various Tribune papers' futures.
It's significant that none of the private equity firms that had been circling Tribune ended up submitting bids. Burkle and Broad's was the only bid--though the Chandler family (already the largest Tribune shareholder) may yet set up its own deal to take the company private.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Last month, my father called to tell me something -- to prepare me, he said, for my next visit to the home in which I grew up. "They're knocking down your McDonald's," he explained.
In the sixth and seventh grades, I caught the bus to school a couple blocks away from my house, beside a shopping center in which there was a standalone McDonald's. If I saw one of these McDonald's today, the ones with that crown-like roof, all clad in dark 1970s browns, I would marvel and call it an old building. All the new McDonaldses I've seen are gleaming white like an Apple Store, with abstract yellow swooshes standing in for the golden arches of a bygone age.
It was "my" McDonald's because I spent a huge amount of time there with my friends -- in the morning, prior to the arrival of the bus, we'd go in and each buy a plain biscuit (they were cheap, and although single biscuits weren't on the menu, you could usually convince the counter worker to sell you one for fifty cents) and maybe an orange juice, if one of us was particularly flush with cash, otherwise we'd get a 5-cent paper cup to fill at the water fountain. The true rebels would get a coke -- in the MORNING! -- and very occasionally when I had the dollar and change to spare and I was feeling dangerous, so would I.
In the afternoon we would go in to the McDonald's after the bus had dropped us off, and buy cheap soft serve ice cream or a small fry to share, sometimes six of us cramming ourselves into a booth together like we were back on the bus, three across on the benches, but usually we would take our food out into the blistering Florida sunshine -- which didn't bother me much then, as it was all I knew -- and walk slowly home.
When I turned fourteen, I applied for and got a job at that McDonald's. Technically, it was my first job. It didn't last long; indeed, it lasted less than a week when I discovered the disgusting conditions in the kitchen, like a floor so caked with grease that every step felt like you were in danger of losing a shoe to the thickened adhesive cooking oil that coated every surface. I didn't eat there much after that.
But even before that experience, I was not a predictable McDonald's regular, as many of my friends were. I had long stretches in which I stayed away, my pride filling my belly instead of a hot flaky biscuit. These were the diets. My Jenny Craig phase happened in middle school, as did two Weight Watchers phases and, near the end, one hospital-directed weight loss program for kids called SHAPEDOWN! Like that, with the caps and the exclamation point. Like they were trying really hard to make this something the fat kids who participated could get excited about, instead of our usual demeanor, which was almost uniformly sullen and sad -- and, in my case, resentful that I felt pressured by cultural expectations to be there at all.
SHAPEDOWN!, incidentally, was my last all-in full-scale I-mean-it-this-time diet. Possibly because it was the first diet experience I'd had that didn't rely overmuch on making its participants feel like shit about ourselves.
In those days, I lived with a tiny current of dread underscoring my whole life, some unseen monster always lurking just out of my vision. Food. What was I going to do about food? Food was the central problem. This was before I'd even coalesced the idea that I had a body, because so far as I was concerned I didn't; I had an albatross, an extra burden, something I was forced to wear because I had made some egregious mistake somewhere down the line. I had a lot of fat, and there might be a body inside it somewhere, but I was losing hope that I would ever manage to dig it out.
So food was an issue. I never suffered any legitimate food insecurity in the sense that I always technically had access to things to eat, but I had developed such a powerful mechanism of self-loathing and guilt over everything -- literally everything, including plain lettuce -- I put into my mouth that I was chronically thinking about when I would eat next, what I would allow myself to eat, how much, how long, where, with whom. It was all I thought about, whether my next meal was coming from Jenny Craig's blue and silver boxes or was being meted out on a Weight Watchers scale.
Mostly I remember being hungry; I don't think I have known hunger like that since. It was overpowering. Concentration was impossible. I was irritable, frustrated -- I wrote long terrifying letters to an imaginary friend in Europe detailing how I would like to murder all of my friends, but that is another story.
Middle school was hard for me -- as it is for everyone -- but I had the added challenge of becoming one of the girls the popular girls loved to loathe, who faced daily humiliation in the lunchroom and whose assigned role was to be the punching bag for all the other kids' natural preteen insecurities.
In response, I willfully made myself an outcast, on purpose, refusing to socialize with anyone at all. At least I could control that, and there were still many books in the school library I had not yet read, and the last bathroom stall on the left was not such a terrible place to spend my lunch hour every day. Besides, I was fat, and so this would eventually be my life as a solitary unlovable slob anyway. I may as well accustom myself to it now.
And the hunger ran through it all like lightning endlessly striking, making me irrational, angry, unbalanced, and depressed. Oh, I might have seemed mostly normal on the outside -- mostly normal -- but I was still writing those imaginary letters, still hiding in the bathroom at lunch, and still doing daily battle with the biological need to consume food, even against my will.
The hunger had a cycle, one that began with my morning pledge to not eat anything all day. First, it would be obvious. I would want food. Thus denied, within a couple of hours, the hunger would shift into a sort of floaty adrenaline high, a surge of uncontrolled electricity, my heart thudding wildly inside my chest like a trapped dragonfly, buzzing in my ears. This was the nice part, the part I looked forward to, because this lightheaded sense of panic deep in my ape-brain told me that the not eating was working, and that any minute now the hated fat cells would be siphoned off my belly and into the furnace of my metabolism, never to be seen again.
(Sometimes I miss this feeling. Sometimes when I forget to eat, which happens a lot, I'll get it again, and I remember that rush, the knowing that I can go around feeling wobbly and hunger-high for as long as I'd like, but that I can also always stop it anytime.)
Eventually, though, I would eat something. I would have to. It might happen because I had lived the day without food and could now allow myself dinner when I got home. It might happen because the neighborhood friends who pretended not to know me at school but who were cheery and friendly in our safe little childhood world would suggest we go to the frozen yogurt shop -- this was in the same shopping center as the McDonald's -- after school. From the day the frozen yogurt shop opened, we bailed on McDonald's soft serve in favor of huge waffle cones filled with fat-free chocolate and vanilla swirl served by a broadly smiling Cuban gentleman and eaten with long-handled plastic spoons at tables with speckled-laminate tops, sitting sideways in cafe chairs with our backs pressed to the big plate glass windows facing the street.
In time, with every diet, no matter how good I was at keeping myself hungry, I would eventually get frustrated with the whole deal. Then I would get angry. Then I would rebel. Those neighborhood friends and I would leave early in the mornings to collect our lunch selections from the various offerings in that McDonald's-linked shopping center. Some days I decided that a thick garlic bagel sandwiched around a square slab of cream cheese from the bagel shop would be acceptable for me to eat so long as I ate nothing else until tomorrow.
But some days I wanted to fight with myself. Some days I wanted to hate myself, to remind myself of what a disgusting inhuman monster I really was. And those days, those mornings I would go to the supermarket that anchored that strip mall, the one with the McDonald's and the frozen yogurt place and the bagel shop, and spend my lunch money on the worst food I could possibly imagine, not because I wanted it, but because I didn't deserve to eat things I actually liked, rather I had to eat the things that were the most gross to me, the most hateful -- the most stereotypical.
Fat kids eat Twinkies. So very often, that's what I got.
I didn't like them. I thought people ate them as punishment. I thought I was punishing myself. To the Twinkies' credit, they made me feel full, like truly full, during a time when I wasn't feeling full very often. I would open the two-Twinkie package on the bus, promising to eat one now and save the other for my bathroom-stall lunch hour, but I don't think I ever succeeded, fearing the repercussions should anyone discover my snack cake secret. The jokes. The jokes would have gone on forever.
So I would eat the second cake quickly, surreptitiously, and leave the crumpled wrapper on the bus, stuffing it into the seam between the bench seat and the outer wall. I'd stare determinedly out the window at the steaming Florida morning and feel like crying, but I wouldn't let myself do it. Instead, I will be hungry today, because being hungry will distract me from my feelings, because being hungry distracts you from everything.
I don't think I've eaten a Twinkie in two decades. I don't have to. I know how they tasted to me, like despair and defeat laced with chemicals and corn syrup. Today, when my husband occasionally grabs a box of snack cakes at the store, I feel a tugging at that old internal world -- a world which I began to shutter in high school and which I have ensured through constant vigilance over the past twenty years would never again present an opening big enough for me to crawl back into. Today I look at a box of laughably named Ding Dongs in our shared shopping cart and feel shame, nausea, guilt, waves of it enfolding me -- and fear, fear that someone will see. It's not the Twinkies fault that I have these associations, really; it's the fault of a culture that teaches kids to fear and hate fatness before they even learn to read, a fear I still have to face, all these years later.
Hostess, makers of Twinkies and other iconic snack cakes, is going out of business today, and although I'm sad for the folks who are losing their jobs and for the collapse of an American institution, I can't say I'm sorry, but not for the reasons you might think. I don't think Twinkies are bad. I don't believe that any individual foods are moral or immoral, "good" or "bad," not anymore. I think that individual people are entitled -- yes, entitled -- to eat whatever they want in whatever portions they wish, without being shamed or stigmatized for it.
It saddens me that kids today don't have it much better than I did; they may even have it worse, all in the name of health, which was the last thing I ever got as a result of firm authoritative messages to diet or else. If I could change anything, that is what I would like to change, to make sure kids today, no matter their size, don't ever have to deal with food guilt, and to make room for them to grow up without self-loathing; to let them be kids, to build their confidence instead of reinforcing their self-doubt. Because it's a long road out again, and not everyone gets to take it. Many will be too damaged to try.
I am very good at picking our fractured food culture apart, at criticizing the ways in which we are all to varying degrees screwed by expectation and by assumption. But I am not myself whole, not quite; I may have healed from many of the experiences that make me good at breaking these ideas down, but the scar tissue is thick and tough and I don't believe that it will ever entirely disappear. All I can do is learn to live with it, to occasionally feel it, and maybe sometimes, if I'm fortunate, to help other people live with theirs as well.
Today, I eat things that I enjoy, and I do so mindfully, without attaching guilt or pride to them. It's the only way I can do more than merely survive, but flourish and thrive. But I wouldn't have had to learn that - how to eat, how to enjoy, how to be kind to myself -- as an adult if I hadn't first fallen down a deep deep rabbit hole of food guilt and body shame from which I then had to climb out, inch by inch, fighting for every foothold, still fighting every day. Even now.

- Abstract:
- Background: Spatial discrimination thresholds (SDTs) assess somatosensory integration, and provide a window into better understanding the pathophysiology of dystonia. They are abnormal in some focal dystonias, but normal in DYT1 dystonia. It is unknown whether SDTs are altered in DYT6 gene mutation carriers (C). Methods: SDTs were assessed in 17 DYT6 C (including eight manifesting carriers), 15 DYT1 C (including seven manifesting carriers) and 34 controls, using a standardized grating orientation task. Subjects were asked to recognize the orientation of Johnson–Van Boven–Philips (JVP) dome gratings on either index fingertip until 40% or more answers were incorrect. SDTs between indexes were calculated and averaged, with a final SDT assigned to each subject, and tertiles for control SDTs were constructed. Results: SDTs of DYT6 C or DYT1 C were comparable to those of controls, and not more likely to be in the worst tertile (p = 0.8 for DYT6 C vs. controls and p = 1.0 for DYT1 C vs. controls). This was independent of gene expression. Discussion: DYT6 carriers do not have impaired SDTs with the JVP dome paradigm. The normal SDT pattern thus suggests shared sensory physiologic patterns with DYT1 dystonia.

Increasing globalization and migration around the world dictates that a visionary approach to education is needed for 21st century learners. Our mission at 3e is to 'foster creative thinkers and collaborative learners, who are able to move respectfully and appreciatively across cultures.' This is achieved through participation in a high quality, dual-immersion bilingual experience within a multicultural learning community.
Children from more than 25 nations are immersed fully in Mandarin and English, spending 50% of each school day in each language environment.
At 3e, the overriding goal is to help children move towards greater self-organization and understanding of how to be successful in the social and cultural world in which they will live. In order to do this we must be sensitive to them as individuals and support them as they learn to value and respect others. We must provide them with engaging and meaningful experiences that support skill building in every developmental domain and work closely with families to communicate progress and explore the multitude of ways in which they may support their child's development.
Children who attend 3e are more likely to become adults who have fewer biases against others who are different to themselves. They are well-prepared for the tasks that they will have to accomplish in a new and exciting global era.

Saving TipsSeptember 24, 2016 12:15 pm
A monetary cycle revolves around expenditures and savings. Whatever you earn is either spent on bills, taxes, purchasing of basic necessities, food and clothing, entertainment, medical, education and other expenses or is saved in banks or in the form of commodities. Sometimes the purchases are made on credit, which means another payment is due at the end of the month. It is always wise to save some for the rainy day, despite having a long list of expenses and instant gratifications to fulfill. Here are some of the ways you can save:
- Organize your shopping list and budget accordingly. Make a list of all the shopping you intend to do and work accordingly. It is also important to stick to the list. We tend to do impulse purchase which exceeds our budget expenses.
- Look for alternatives. When you can do a beauty treatment by yourself, why to spend several pennies on a visit to a salon. Similar is the case with other services.
- Next, limit your visits to restaurants. Dining out is necessary, but always having lunches, desserts and dinner in a restaurant isn't the only place where you can spend time with your family.
- Entertainment is not always a movie at a cinema. Movies can be watched at home as well. Choose alternate outings such as parks, museums, beach and other places. But once in a while allow yourself to splurge on things you really want (that maybe even could enhance your lifestyle at the given time), e.g. fitness watches, GPS trackers for kids, well-reviewed technology gadgets, a cool new game, repair tools, etc.
- Reduce the number of shopping trips. This can help reduce your extra expense that is not necessary. Also, think a number of times before purchasing it.
- Save up on your fuel and energy cost, by minimizing its wastage.
Apart from all the above tips, it is also advisable to join committees and other saving groups. This will be a good motivation to save, as you will get a handful amount after a period which can be secured in the bank or invested further to multiply the savings.

Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin is more effective than placebo in terms of the primary outcome (loss of 15 letters or more of visual acuity) and it is very unlikely that this result is a chance finding. Considering information on the other outcomes measured such as contrast sensitivity and side effects, the benefits seem to outweigh the harms so that PDT with verteporfin is effective overall in slowing the rate of vision loss. (Meads C, Hyde C (2004) Photodynamic therapy is effective, but how big is the effect? Results of a systematic review. British Journal of Ophthalmology 88: 212-217
Alternative accounts of the same evidence might be possible using different authorial voices, but….all accounts should be grounded in the evidence, verifiable and plausible, and that reflexivity will be paramount".

THERE HAS been criticism of the million-dollar grant given to the University of Florida for nuclear research. This research is designed to support the strategic defense initiative advocated by President Reagan.
What the critics fail to realize is that the goal of this nuclear research and the SDI program is to render all nuclear weapons obsolete. Moreover, if the United States stops this research and the Soviets gain an advantage, it could be a serious threat to our national security.

Deep-Fried Stuffing on a Stick
By Paula Deen
- Prep time: 30 minutes
- Cook time: 30 minutes
- Servings: 30
- 5 tablespoons divided butter
- 1 lb bulk breakfast sausage
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced carrot
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 bag for stuffing unseasoned bread cubes
- 1 sleeve crushed saltine crackers
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 2 teaspoons ground sage
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 4 beaten eggs
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- for frying oil
- 12 wooden skewers
Preheat oven to 375 °F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. Transfer to a plate, while spooning off the excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and melt. Add the onion, carrot and celery and saute until softened. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, toss together bread cubes, saltines, sausage, poultry seasoning, parsley flakes, sage, salt and pepper. Stir the sauteed vegetables into the mixing bowl. Pour in the chicken stock and eggs and toss together. Turn the stuffing out into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the juices in the stuffing are bubbling.
Preheat oil in the deep-fryer to 350 °F.
Cool the stuffing completely. Cut it into 12 squares. Remove each square from the dish and wrap it around a wooden stick, pressing it onto the stick with your hands. Make the stuffing form a log shape around the popsicle stick, leaving 2-inches of the stick exposed for the handle. This should look somewhat like a lumpy corn dog.
Roll the stick in the flour, coating it well and then shaking off the excess. Gently lower the sticks into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

By CALVIN WOODWARD AND JULIE PACE, ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Four years later Democrats have gathered again, this time in support of a president who carries the power and the burden of incumbency, both in evidence as the opening gavel is struck at the Democratic National Convention.
President Barack Obama demonstrated the power Monday in a convention-eve visit to hurricane-stricken lands in Louisiana, offering aid and empathy. His burden is a ragged economy that is at the core of the hotly competitive contest with Republican Mitt Romney.
Michelle Obama's speech Tuesday night is an early highlight of a three-day schedule that has drawn thousands of delegates to a state Obama narrowly carried in 2008. Although Obama no longer is the fresh-faced newbie who leveraged a short Senate career into an audacious run for the nation's highest office, he still can excite partisans, and Democrats were counting on massive numbers to pack a stadium for his speech later in the week.
If hurricanes have no politics, the aftermath does. Obama's visit to stricken St. John the Baptist Parish outside New Orleans after a spirited Labor Day rally in battleground Ohio demonstrated, if in muted form, the partisan divide that cleaves the presidential campaign.
Obama emphasized the government's determination to lend a strong helping hand. Romney focused on neighbor helping neighbor in his visit days earlier, even though both support a mix of emergency aid from the taxpayer and volunteerism in response to natural disasters.
"We're here to help," Obama told residents during a brief tour Monday, going from lawn to lawn in a neighborhood of brick homes and front yards loaded with soggy but orderly piles of debris, the floodwaters receded. He told another family of the steps officials were taking to address the damage, adding, "I promise you that now that I've been here, they're going to make sure that they do it right."
On convention eve, Democrats released a party platform for ratification Tuesday that echoes Obama's call for higher taxes on the wealthy and reflects his shift on gay marriage by supporting it explicitly.
In a nod to dissenters on gay marriage, the platform expresses support for "the freedom of churches and religious entities to decide how to administer marriage as a religious sacrament without government interference."
As with the deeply conservative Republican platform, not all of which Romney endorses, nothing binds Obama to the specifics of the party's manifesto.
The president rallies in Virginia on Tuesday before joining the convention a day later. With flourishes but no suspense, Democrats will march through the roll call of states renominating Obama for president and Joe Biden for vice president on Wednesday.
That's also when the convention hears from Bill Clinton, whose 1990s presidency is being trumpeted by Democrats as the last great period of economic growth and balanced budgets – a further redemption of sorts, at least from his party, for a leader who survived impeachment over sexual scandal.
In a USA Today interview, Obama accused Republicans of building their campaign around a "fictional Barack Obama" by wholly misrepresenting his positions and words. He singled out Romney's claim, widely debunked, that the Obama administration stripped a work requirement out of federal welfare laws.
[Story continues below. Scroll down for live blog updates.]
His convention behind him, Romney relaxed at his lakeside home in New Hampshire with his family as Obama and Biden sought to motivate union voters to support them in difficult economic times. Romney took a midmorning boat ride, pulling up to a dock to fuel up his 29-foot Sea Ray and pick up a jet ski that had been in for repairs.
In his Labor Day statement, Romney said, "For far too many Americans, today is another day of worrying when their next paycheck will come."
The Republican convention last week heard testimonials from a colleague of Romney at Bain Capital and from the founder of Staples, the office supply chain that grew from the private-equity firm's investments. Democrats, focused on enterprises that closed or moved overseas after Romney's firm got involved, are giving speaking time to workers from Bain-controlled companies who will tell the other side of the story.
Campaigning on Saturday in Cincinnati, Romney had likened Obama to a football coach with a record of 0 and 23 million, a reference to the number of unemployed and underemployed Americans.
Obama offered a play-by-play rebuttal 48 hours later.
"On first down he hikes taxes by nearly $2,000 on the average family with kids in order to pay for massive tax cuts for multimillionaires," Obama said in his Toledo rally. "Sounds like unnecessary roughness to me.
"On second down he calls an audible and undoes reforms that are there to prevent another financial crisis and bank bailout. ...
"And then on third down, he calls for a hail Mary, ending Medicare as we know it by giving seniors a voucher that leaves them to pay any additional cost out of their pockets. But there's a flag on the play: Loss of up to an additional $6,400 a year for the same benefits you get now."
Romney denies that his plan to help the economy and reduce federal deficits will result in higher taxes for the middle class. But he has yet to provide enough detail to refute the claim. Obama's assertion rests on a study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
The candidates have been tangling heatedly over Medicare, with Romney reminding voters that Obama cut more than $700 billion over 10 years from the program to help pay for his health care law's expansion of insurance to more Americans. The president has gone after the Republican ticket for the idea of letting future retirees have the option of buying private insurance with government subsidies.
As for the auto bailout that Obama steered and Romney opposed, Obama told the audience, "Three years later, the American auto industry has come roaring back. Nearly 250,000 new jobs."
Obama came out with a campaign commercial asserting that, under Romney, "a middle-class family will pay an average of up to $2,000 more a year in taxes, while at the same time giving multimillionaires like himself a $250,000 tax cut." Aides said it would be seen in Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, the battleground states where the 2012 race for the White House is likely to be decided.
The president and aides have acknowledged for weeks that they and the groups supporting them are likely to be outspent by Romney, and recent figures say that has been the case in television advertising in the battleground states for much of the past two months.
A few blocks from the convention hall in Charlotte, union members staged a Labor Day march through downtown. Though supporting Obama, they also expressed frustration that he and the Democrats chose to hold their convention in a state that bans collective bargaining for teachers and other public employees.
There was disagreement among the ranks of the marchers. "I understand their frustration ... but do they really think they're going to be better off with Romney?" said Phil Wheeler, 70, a delegate from Connecticut and a retired member of United Auto Workers Local 376 in Hartford.
Democrats chose North Carolina for their convention to demonstrate their determination to contest it in the fall campaign. Obama carried North Carolina by 14,000 votes in 2008, but faces a tough challenge this time given statewide unemployment of 9.6 percent, higher than the vexing national rate of 8.3 percent.
Republicans ramped up their counterprogramming as the opening of the Democrats' convention approached.
"People are not better off than they were four years ago," said Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, campaigning in Greenville, N.C. "After another four years of this, who knows what it'll look like then."
Obama's top campaign aides and allies had flinched from saying Sunday that the average American is better off than four years ago, but they – and Biden – hastily recalibrated their response overnight.
"You want to know whether we're better off?" Biden asked a campaign crowd in Detroit. "I've got a little bumper sticker for you: `Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.'"
Cardinal Timothy Dolan Seemingly Alludes To Abortion, Gay Marriage In DNC Benediction
The Huffington Post's Jaweed Kaleem reports:
Offering a benediction to close the Democratic National Convention, Cardinal Timothy Dolan largely stuck to a similar script as he did when praying in front of Republicans at their convention last week, with two notable exceptions.
"We ask your benediction on those waiting to be born, that they may be welcomed and protected," Dolan, who as the Archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has spoken out strongly against abortion, said at the DNC.
And making what seemed to be a allusion to same-sex marriage, which President Barack Obama and the DNC have endorsed, Dolan said: "Show us anew that happiness is found only in respecting the laws of nature and of nature's God. Empower us with your grace so that we might resist the temptation to replace the moral law with idols of our own making, or to remake those institutions you have given us for the nurturing of life and community."

101-Year-Old Voting Rights Activist, Attends The Democratic Convention
HuffPost's Gene Demby reports:
On Thursday afternoon, an old lady in a wheelchair and her caregiver waited near the exit of the convention center here, delayed from their next stop by one of the week's intermittent downpours.
The woman in the wheelchair was Amelia Boynton Robinson. Five decades ago, she offered up her home in Selma, Ala., to civil rights activists for use as a base of operations in their voting rights efforts. The Selma-to-Montgomery marches were planned there, and they would have seismic implications for the American political landscape.
"We were working to get the right to vote," Robinson, who is 101 years old, said slowly. In 1965, as she and other protesters tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge during a voting rights demonstration, they were brutally clubbed with nightsticks and tear-gassed by state troopers.

Recovery Path Hard, Challenge 'Can Be Met'
The AP reports:
His re-election in doubt, President Barack Obama conceded only halting progress Thursday night toward fixing the nation's stubborn economic woes, but vowed in a Democratic National Convention finale, "Our problems can be solved, our challenges can be met."
"Yes, our path is harder – but it leads to a better place," he declared in a prime-time speech to convention delegates and the nation that blended resolve about the challenges ahead with stinging criticism of Republican rival Mitt Romney's proposals to repair the economy.
Click here to read more.
'We Learn From Our Mistakes'
"We draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon."
"Yes, our path is harder – but it leads to a better place. Yes our road is longer – but we travel it together. We don't turn back."
'You Need To Stand Up'
Obama: "If you reject the notion that our government is forever beholden to the highest bidder, you need to stand up in this election."
Obama vs. Critics
"If the critics are right that I've made all my decisions based on polls, then I must not be very good at reading."
'I'm The President'
"I'm no longer just a candidate. I'm the president."
'You Were The Change'
@ kzaleski :
A line that finally breaks through... gives crowd something new: "My fellow citizens – you were the change." #DNC2012

Brown's Chicken & Pasta Inc. of Elmhurst filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday, becoming the latest casualty of a restaurant industry downturn.
Neither a company representative nor the bankruptcy lawyer could be reached for immediate comment, but the bankruptcy petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Illinois listed the debtor's address at 489 W. Fullerton, the same Elmhurst address listed on www.brownschicken.com Web site.
The petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which allows companies to reorganize while conducting business, said it has 50 to 99 creditors, liabilities of $1 million to $10 million, and assets of $100,000 to $500,000.
The chain is known for being the site of a 1993 killing of seven workers at a Brown's Chicken restaurant in Palatine.

A key factor of any room is the lighting. You can affect lighting in so many different ways so it is important that you get it right. You have the standard lights that are on the ceiling; you have table lamps and floor lamps. Floor lamps are becoming more popular and the reason for that is their flexibility. You can put them in any area of the room which means that the move them about as you wish.
If you are going out to buy new things then that is a lot more fun. Try to do a bit of research first to find out what styles you like and the types of prices that you will have to pay. This will put you in a much better position when it comes to negotiating.
The more themes you incorporate, the more creative you will have to be but the process is basically the same. It will also depend how similar or different the themes are. Combining some themes like an Asian theme and Zen theme would be easier than a Zen theme with a rock-star theme. The primary task here is to identify the common factor in the living room ideas. For instance, in combing an Asian and Zen theme, you would incorporate a more natural Asian representation like bamboo, jade and the concept of feng shui. You could also incorporate meditation cushions that would be used in Zen lifestyle and simultaneously represents a classic Asian seating arrangement.
