Kremlin brands Ukrainian revolutionaries MUTINEERS and warns West is encouraging terrorism by supporting them as claims surface deposed president is being 'guarded by Russia'
- PM Dmitry Medvedev warned there's 'no-one to communicate with' in Kiev
- He said events in Ukraine are 'essentially the result of an armed mutiny'
- Russia, angered at the loss of an ally, has already recalled ambassador
- Now it is claimed Russia is harbouring Ukraine's ousted president
Russia has poured scorn on Ukraine's new leaders, questioning their authority and saying they came to power as a result of an 'armed mutiny'.
It came after Ukraine's newly-appointed interim interior minister said an arrest warrant had been issued for ousted President Viktor Yanukovych.
The fugitive leader, who was voted out of power by Ukraine's parliament on Saturday, was last seen in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol and is rumoured to be taken under Russian protection.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, speaking here in Sochi, voiced grave doubts over the legitimacy of the authorities in Ukraine after President Viktor Yanukovich's ousting
Newly appointed Ukrainian acting Interior Affairs Minister Arsen Avakov talking with supporters in front of the Ukrainian Parliament in Kiev
Today, Russia's prime minister Dmitry Medvedev launched his country's strongest attack yet on
Yanukovych's successors.
Russia, angered at the loss of its political ally, has already recalled its ambassador for consultation.
Speaking in the Winter Olympics host city of Sochi, Mr Medvedev suggested that Western countries were mistaken about the legitimacy of Ukraine's new authorities.
Quoted by Russian news agencies, he said: 'Strictly speaking, there is no-one for us to communicate with there today. The legitimacy of a whole number of organs of power that function there raises great doubts.
'Some of our foreign, Western partners think otherwise. This is some kind of aberration of perception when people call legitimate what is essentially the result of an armed mutiny.'
Yanukovych set
off a wave of protests by shelving an agreement with the EU in November
and turning toward Russia, and the movement quickly expanded its
grievances to corruption, human rights abuses and calls for Yanukovych's

Yanukovych fled the capital for eastern Ukraine after signing an agreement with the opposition to end a conflict that turned deadly. Ukraine's border service said he tried to fly out of the country on Saturday from Donetsk but was stopped by their officials.
The speaker of parliament assumed the president's powers on Sunday. Ukraine's parliament has until Tuesday to form a new unity government.
Tensions have been mounting in Crimea, where pro-Russian politicians are organising rallies and forming protest units and have been demanding autonomy from Kiev.

Russia maintains a big naval base in Crimea that has tangled relations between the countries for two decades.
Interim interior minister Arsen Avakov said on Facebook that a criminal case had been opened against Mr Yanukovych and other officials over 'mass murder of peaceful citizens'.
Yanukovich had left a private residence in Balaclava, in the Russian-speaking Crimea region, for an unknown destination in a car with one of his aides on Saturday, Avakov said.
EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton has arrived in Kiev to discuss financial and political support for Ukraine's new leaders.
Ukraine is in danger of defaulting on its debts as a Russian aid package now seems unlikely to proceed.
Baroness Ashton began her visit by laying flowers in Independence Square to those killed in clashes between protesters and police.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's parliament appointed Stepan Kubiv, a member of parliament with experience in banking, as the new chairman of the central bank.
A total of 310 deputies in the 450 seat chamber backed Kubiv after his predecessor, Ihor Sorkin, resigned following the overthrow of Yanukovich.

The size of the apartment and the layout makes it comfortable for both families and couples to stay as each room has an en suite. The tram stop is in front of the building and its only 15 minute walk to the main strip, the pool for the kids and the beach is across the road. We would most definitely stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks Kylie for such a lovely apartment.
Could not ask for more.. Stunning Property, amazing views all round.. Highest Floor, we had a fantastic time at the proeprty, thanks a lot to Kylie, she took care of her very well and helped us with the stay without any issues, will definitely come again!

I cannot stress how much the two items in this picture define ME in the spring, summer and fall of each year. Those of you who stop in here regularly know that I love to grow things and the tomato plants are no surprise to you. But that other thing. It's a shaft and housing for our riding lawnmower.
Basically, it's the thing that holds the blade in place and allows the blade to rotate, cutting the grass at a dangerous rate of speed.
Those close to me know just how unlucky I am with lawn equipment. No matter how careful I am to not hit anything sticking out of the ground I still "break" the mowers. Atleast I get the blame for it (even though I am not the only one who uses the equipment). But one thing is for sure if it is gonna break, it will break while I am using it. 🙄
My Captain and Boo either fix it or my son-in-law gets the job. But I thank God for them because if it weren't for them knowing how to fix lawnmowers, my grass would never get cut.
Because of the ill fortune that plagues me I will not ask to borrow lawn equipment.
This last time, which was last week, the bolt that holds the blade in place, broke and left the blade and the washer that goes on the bolt lying on the ground. Haulting my mowing for the day and leaving me wondering what just happened.
Yeah…that bolt.
Right now as I write this the guys are off to the local lawn equipment parts store to retrieve another part that was found in not such good shape as they attempted to repair the above broken bolt.
So once again that lawnmower will be repaired and I will be merrily mowing my yard again.
That is until the next part decides to break, fall off, go flat or whatever else can go wrong with a lawnmower.
Sometimes I wonder if I am being framed!
Happy Monday!

I'm (almost) halfway there! This week completes week 8 of my 16-week marathon training. The Kiawah Island Marathon is on December 13, so we're just under two months away! I've learned so much, but I still have quite a ways to go!
I actually had to take a couple of days off due to what seemed like an "overuse" kind of pain in the back of my right knee. After icing, stretching, and resting, I got back out there yesterday afternoon – thankfully I am feeling much better! If this setback had to happen, now is at least a good time. This week my long run is only 13 miles and my total mileage will be 32, so at least my legs will have a bit of a break!
Now that I am hitting the halfway point, I feel like I have a good system down. I don't mean just having a plan – although that is certainly the first step towards marathon training. (I spent a good amount of time researching different programs and then tailored one to fit my needs.) But in addition to a plan, you need a lot of other things. Here's my shortlist:
- Motivational reminders. It's great to have a plan, but you have to find ways to make sure you stick to it. I actually printed out my plan and wrote down how many miles I'm supposed to run each day on my work calendar. These are visual reminders of what I need to do, both at work and at home. Then when the miles are complete, I highlight that day on my printed plan and update my computer calendar that I use to track my mileage throughout the year. This helps me remember that I am making progress when I feel overwhelmed.
- A support team. You may think training for a marathon is a solo endeavor unless you have a training partner/group. It's not! You need cheerleaders to celebrate the process as well as lift you up when you have those low moments – and you will have some. Make sure key people in your life know how you're feeling and what you need from them. This can be anything from encouragement to joining you for a run to just asking how your training is going.
- Body glide. No seriously. Even if you haven't chafed a lot in the past, you better have some now. Once you realize your normal "trouble spots", slather it on, especially before your long run. There's nothing worse than getting in the shower, having the water hit you, and wanting to scream because of all the raw spots that quietly showed up on your body while you were out.
- A willingness to sacrifice. You will miss things, simply because marathon training takes a lot of time. Lately I've been known to fall asleep on the couch by 10:30 p.m. or leave Friday night social outings early because I have to be up for my long run dark and early on Saturday morning. Sometimes I can't have another glass of wine because I know that it's just going to hurt me the next day (what a horrifying first-world problem). That's not to say you can't have any fun, you just have to be smart about it.
- Good nutrition. I am a pretty healthy eater overall. However, I have had to be even more careful about what I'm ingesting throughout this process. A couple of weeks ago, my long run ended early – I was nauseous, dizzy, and in tears. The next week, I made a conscious effort to eat more and to increase my protein intake. The result? I rocked a 17 mile run. Pay attention to what feels good and what doesn't.
- Short-term memory. You have to put any bad runs behind you. Quickly.
- Long-term memory. This is where you store those great running moments. If you focus on these, you can get through anything!
Mantras. I'm all about positive thinking while on the run. Sometimes you have to dig deep to keep going. I find I have been repeating one of two things lately: "You just need miles on your legs" and "How bad do you want this?" The first reminds me of the fact that I don't need to be speedy on my long runs. The second is just a personal challenge to myself. On a side note, this has also been in my head on runs when I don't bring along the iPod lately – which is oddly encouraging while getting me excited about the holiday season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OORsz2d1H7s
With all these tools, I'm feeling excited and really happy that I've made it halfway through the training process. I just have to keep focusing on the goal – I'm coming for you, Kiawah Island Marathon!
What helps you when you're training for a big goal? Leave a comment or send a tweet!

There are mommy blogs, and then there are the anti-mommy-blogs. (I mean blogs opposite of the usual mommy blogs, not blogs against motherhood. . . . Although perhaps there are those, too.) Jen Mann has a mommy blog with attitude, and has collected some of her rants and observations in People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Competitive Crafters, Drop-Off Despots, and Other Suburban Scourges.
Social niceties aren't really Mann's thing. She doesn't have a lot of patience for the "perfect mothers" who surround her in her suburban neighborhood. I'm no PTA mom and I don't have as much experience in the carpool lane or neighborhood book club as Mann does, but, like any parent of school-age kids, I could relate to her wild tales of confrontation and disputation. I am not as confrontative or disputative as Mann, but I loved living vicariously through her.
Mann has an attitude and a potty mouth to go with it, but I couldn't help but laugh with her. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at her next teacher-parent conference or PTA meeting. She's a riot.
For more from Mann, follow her aptly-named blog, http://www.peopleiwanttopunchinthethroat.com/.

35 and counting
Today is my birthday. I am *gasp* 35! WHEN did this happen?
Age is just a number I am convincing myself. After all, what matters is how you feel, how you life your life and your accomplishments.
- I am healthy, feel and look young.
- I am happy and content where life is taking me.
- I have a wonderful, loving and supportive husband.
- A healthy baby is on the way.
- I have a great family and circle of friends.
- I have a job which I like.
I am in a good place in my life and I am very thankful for the blessings given to me.
DH threw me a surprise 30th birthday with my girlfriends and now bam suddenly hello 35! Soon…. hello 40?
So why does it still seem like turning 35 is a big deal?
I guess what I am having a hard time accepting is I am getting older and I am midway to my "40s" and all that entails. Sounds vain, I know, but the decades are just going by so fast.
I didn't want too much fanfare for my day today. I am working half a day at work. Then I'm meeting my girlfriends for lunch, then off to catch the movie "P.S. I love you". After the movie maybe do some window shopping.
For dinner, DH & I may go to a Korean BBQ, Hibachi style. For my birthday gift, DH gave me the Kate Spade purse I wanted. :)
Question of the day: Do you dread turning a particular "milestone" age? (30, 35, 40, etc)

, NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 19 – Government Chief Whip Johnstone Muthama has denied reports that legislators drawn from PNU and their ODM allies were mulling a censure motion against House Speaker Kenneth Marende.
The Kangundo MP told reporters on Saturday that the MPs are however unhappy with Mr Marende\'s ruling declaring judicial nominations by President Mwai Kibaki, unconstitutional.
"I want to put the record straight that there was no one word in the PNU meeting that there could be a vote of no confidence to the speaker of the national assembly. If that was said, then it must have been out of that meeting but not in the one that I attended," he said. "The meeting that I attended dwelt on how to counter the ruling that was given by the Speaker."
He said they plan a motion in Parliament next Tuesday to challenge the \'biased\' ruling.
"Kenyan have now seen that the Speaker is serving the party (ODM) that pushed him to take the seat that he currently holds in Parliament, this we cannot tolerate," he empahsised.
Mr Muthama also said they will take on the Speaker for making the ruling before the reports by the Justice and Legal Affairs committee and the Finance, Planning and Trade committees were debated in Parliament.
"The Speaker violated the standing orders when he delivered the ruling and that is what we are going to challenge,\' he said.
He accused Mr Marende of permitting the ongoing political power tussles to play out in Parliament and basing his decision on partisan interests that are not in line with the provisions of the new constitution.
Mr Muthama described the actions of the Speaker as tantamount to misuse of powers bestowed upon him.
"He did not respect the standing orders of the House which he is a custodian of. We are going to question his violation of the Standing Orders which he is supposed to be a custodian of. I do not think there is anything wrong with asking him how come he directed the two committees to write a report which is not in the House," he stated.
"I do not think that it warrants that (censure motion) and as I said, it is all about democracy but this has been stretched too far."
But, speaking in Kisumu, two ODM legislators vowed to defend the controversial ruling.
Kisumu Town West MP Olago Aluoch and his Gwasii counterpart John Mbadi said the Speaker acted within his constitutional mandate when he made the ruling last Thursday.
"Even those who are crying loudest know that the only way to unlock the impasse is to start the process afresh," Mr Mbadi said.
Addressing ODM youths, the two MPs said the Speaker\'s ruling was not meant to undermine or support any political party but was to help solve the impasse.

13 Fonts From the Dark Side
Don't be afraid of the dark! Use these fonts for creating distinctive, impactful impressions with type.
This article appeared in Issue 90 of InDesign Magazine.
There are countless design briefs that call for heavyweight, assertive fonts. These hefty designs, which are usually reserved for display usage, make a powerful statement while attracting the viewer's attention with ease. While many of these substantial typeface designs are serious in tone, others can be friendly, ghoulish, and even humorous. I have selected thirteen of my favorite "fonts from the dark side" to share with you. They include black weights that are part of large families as well as single-weight styles. Some are current releases, while others are vintage, historic, or just timeless designs that never get old. But they all make a statement when used appropriately.. . . .

Around the time last night's college football national championship game ended, Vic Fangio became a free agent.
And that sets the stage for an interesting few days for the Bears defensive coordinator.
As noted by Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears exclusive window to talk to Fangio about coming back next year expired at midnight, and he can now explore options with other teams.
One of those is expected to be the Packers, though new Bears coach Matt Nagy would likely want to retain Fangio as well.
Fangio was one of six candidates to interview for the Bears head coaching job, and they may have included him on that list to butter him up to stay, since it was widely believed they wanted a young offensive mind to pair with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
The Bears also told other head coaching candidates that they were interested in keeping the 59-year-old Fangio, who would provide some needed gravity for the 39-year-old Nagy.

Fast and easy french bread pizza...
Okay, It's really 'Italian' bread pizza, as that is what the market had fresh.
Slice the loaf in half lengthwise, top from bottom. Slather with decent store bought marinara sauce. Dust with Italian seasoning, preferably heavy on the sweet basil. Sprinkle with granulated garlic and fresh ground pepper. Spread a few handfuls of shredded Mexican style taco cheese (Or Asiago and Colby Jack) across the loaves. Top with your choice of whatever veggies/meat / seafood is fresh and on hand.
Slide onto a preheated pizza stone in a 450 degree oven, and five minutes later flip it to broil so the cheese and toppings cook fast enough.
Easy peasy, and tasty enough to make people ask for more.
2 comments:
Variant : As posted, except slather with strong garlic butter instead of marinara, omit the extra garlic, and I use Monterey Jack cut 50/50 with a good cheddar.
Can be a bit anti-social, but disappears very quickly when everyone gets the first smell..... :-)

Hmm..... like that idea. Cheesey garlic bread.
When I make garlic bread, I split the butter with some very good olive oil, and it brings the toast to life.

Simmer beans in unsalted water for 1 hour. Drain. Mix all ingredients & bake in covered casserole dish @ 300 for 4 hours.
Notes: This came out thick, dry, slightly overdone and a little burnt on top. I loved it. It tasted like the baked beans I remember eating when I was a kid. We used to make sandwiches out of homemade baked beans like these. Trust me, you can't buy baked beans like this in a can. I served this with hominy and baked yams topped with a smidge of cranberry chutney. Yum.
How to sort beans: I take about 1 cup at a time and pour them onto a plate. Using my fingers I quickly move the beans from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate, a few at a time, looking for small stones, dirt clots, discolored beans and picking those out. I repeat until I've sorted all the beans and then they're ready to rinse and soak overnight. It only takes me about 2 minutes to sort a pound of beans.

These photos were taken at The Cliff House.
We stopped here to grab a drink and wander the grounds.
They are very wander-worthy!
I love the sea so am really enjoying this series of posts. I can almost smell the ocean!
I'm really enjoying all your photos from Maine! It's so beautiful. I've only been there once, but it was an amazing trip that I hope to repeat one day...this time with my family:)
It's funny because last night at youth group some of the kids friends were discussing homeschooling and really truly felt that we stay home...

I remember my very first Sunday in Denmark. It was super hard to understand anything that was being said in Sacrament meeting, but it was an amazing experience because even though I couldn't keep up or follow along, I still felt the Spirit. I could still feel the warmth and peace in my heart when the Spirit testified to me that the words I heard were true, even though I couldn't understand most of them.
This week I had another neat experience when we went to a Jehovah's Witness church service with one of our investigators. Unlike that first Sunday in the country, I could actually understand the language and the things that I heard. (well except for when people would start talking crazy super fast!) It makes a big difference when you actually understand the language! But even bigger than the difference between my Danish comprehension 9 weeks ago and my comprehension now, was the difference between the spirit that I felt. There was no warm peaceful feeling to testify of truth. It was a really nice meeting and everybody was really kind and friendly and welcoming (though a little skeptical when they noticed the name tags my companion and I proudly wore!) and it was a really great experience. Now I can say with even more conviction that I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church on the earth today.
A lot of other fun things happened this week... Like one morning a loud trumpet interrupted our scripture study... We raced to the window to see a whole brigade of horses and trumpet players parading down our little street like it was no big deal. Denmark rocks.
And one morning instead of exercising we decided to feed all of our brownies and cookies to the family of ducks that live at the park across the street. (We didn't break a sweat, but we definitely still got rid of a ton of calories!)
Another day it was super rainy, so we spent our lunch hour cuddled up on our thrift store sofa chairs with steaming bowls of chicken noodle soup while Mormon Tabernacle Choir music filled our little apartment. Sister Peterson and I just looked at each other and started laughing. Because missionary life is so cute sometimes.
We laugh at each other a lot actually.... Because we say so many things that only missionaries would say. Like one day when we were having a picnic on the middle of our apartment floor (because our kitchen table was completely hidden beneath mountains of scriptures and planners and notes and maps and progress records.....) and as we were sitting there eating omelets we talked about how eating eggs is like eating chicken in the pre-earth life. HA. Those missionary moments happen a lot! Its funny for sure, but its really awesome. Its awesome that our minds and thoughts are constantly focused on the gospel.
The other day Sister Peterson asked me why I love the Book of Mormon so much. (I rant for like 10 minutes everyday about how much I love it.) The scriptures are seriously the best thing to ever exist! The coolest thing is that its just a bunch of people's journals. Real people. Who were sitting down with a pen in their hand (or some other ancient writing utensil) writing down all of their thoughts and experiences exactly like I do every night in my own journal. I love reading about their encounters and experiences and relationships and dealings with God, while I'm having my own experiences with that very same infinite being. I love the scriptures because they make me feel closer to Him. The scriptures make me feel connected to the prophets that wrote them and to the people they wrote about. Connected to the angels who guided them and the Lord who spoke to them. And connected to the millions of Saints from the pioneer times down to these latter days who held/hold the very same book in their own hands- pouring over its pages and learning about the Savior and how to find happiness in life. I love studying the Book of Mormon every single day, and then talking about it with everyone that I meet. The scriptures means so much more to me than they ever have. And its because I love it. Because I choose to love every passage and to learn from it and apply it- not only to my own life and how it can help me become a better person, but also the ways it can help and bless the lives of others. Its incredible to me that one book can be so universal and apply to every person on the planet, but in such unique, personal, specific ways.
That's why I love the Book of Mormon.
I hope you all find time in your crazy busy lives to read from the scriptures every day. Even if its just one chapter or one page or one column or one verse. I promise that if you take the time to read, you'll find strength to overcome your challenges and so much peace and happiness every day.
Have a good week!

A friend's birthday party when I was nine years old changed the trajectory of my life. The party was the week before Christmas in 1981. My friend lived a ten-minute walk away from my home in a small town in Minnesota. I was expecting a fun party with friends, games, cake, ice cream and presents. Instead, a chance encounter at the party became a watershed moment in my life.
The encounter was with an exchange student from Japan named Kumi Okamoto*. Fate and my curiosity drew us together. I asked if by any chance she was from Osaka because my Dad's major business client shared the same last name. My question surprised her. Yes, she was from Osaka.

Somewhere among the hundreds of Kemp's Ridley sea turtles in the Chesapeake Bay this summer are six that may influence federal officials about when - and whether - to allow drilling into what may be one of the largest natural gas deposits in the United States, off the coast of Cape Hatteras and 14,000 feet below the waves.
The ridleys - the most endangered species of sea turtles in the world - have not yet been caught. But by this fall, Virginia Institute of Marine Science sea turtle researchers plan to glue paperback-book-size electronic transmitters to the shells of six of them to track their travels for a year, the life of the transmitter.

We love Debbie & my dogs adore her! I really appreciate how well Debbie manages her time; on several occasions she has walked twice the miles other walkers have AND even has time to let them cool off with a dip in Lake Washington! Her positive energy & smile are contagious ?
Debbie was very communicative and took a ton a of photos (which I really like) of the dogs. I would definitely book Debbie again.
Wonderful walker!
I was running late due to public transportation breaking down and she was calm and waited patiently for me to arrive. I really appreciated that and so did Baxter. She sent several pictures and he seemed worn out when he got home as well as excited.
About Debbie
I'll Love Your Dog Unconditionally
Greetings! I'm Debbie -- a Texan who has grown up her whole life being around dogs through owning, babysitting, walking and devoting time learning and implementing care-taking techniques at animal shelters. I coordinated and grew a volunteer program at Austin Pets Alive through a service organisation. With the increase of volunteers, dogs were able to have more outside time, with some being walked in the area, while other volunteers with vehicles were able to take the ...

The great outdoors do not figure into my definition of an ideal day in any meaningful way.
Oh, sure, they make a pleasant backdrop in the window when I am comfortably ensconced in my chair, book in one hand and mug of tea in the other. And, of course, they are what one has to travel through to get from one such indoor place of books and tea to another. But beyond that, I tend to leave them to others.
This is not possible with kids, though. Especially when it is sledding season.
The girls love sledding and it's an infections sort of love, strong enough to carry me along at least for a while. We have a pair of dual-function rafts/sleds that we keep inflated in the garage for occasions such as these, and yesterday there was an interval of relative warmth before the bottom fell out of the thermometer last night.
So sledding it was.
Of course, our old sledding hill is no longer viable, what with there being a new building sitting on it these days. Stupid hospital. Fortunately, the girls remembered going to a park with their Montessori school last year, so an alternative hill did exist. It did give us a bit of pause, though, that what they remembered most about it was an injury rate among sledders that rivaled that of professional rugby players.
And we found out why. Great googly moogly, what a hill.
This hill went straight down. It was covered with ice. It had random moguls and valleys. It had tracks that funneled you directly into said moguls and valleys. It had piles of snow at the end. It had squadrons of children sledding down it with reckless abandon. It was the perfect sledding hill.
I grew up in the '70s. We didn't have the internet then. Philadelphia only got cable television, what, last week? There were some political wrangles, what can I say. There was no ESPN, at any rate. So I got my baseball round-up from a Saturday afternoon TV program called This Week In Baseball, which would show clips of the week's games. The true high point of the show - what we 10-year-old-boys most looked forward to - was the inevitable montage of outfielders running into walls, baserunners colliding with fielders, and, of course, infielders getting surprised by ground balls that bounced just a little higher than they were expecting. "Oooh!" came the voice-over from host Mel Allen, "that's GOTTA hurt!"
This was Mel Allen's hill.
We joined in the reckless abandon festivities with, well, reckless abandon. We abandoned. Recklessly. It was cold, wet, and painful. But surprisingly fun, especially with the prospect of cocoa at its conclusion.
It was simply impossible to come to a graceful stop at the end, and eventually we gave up trying and simply planned on being a snow-covered tangle of limbs whenever we would come to a skidding halt. This assumed that we actually made it to the end through the moguls and valleys, a dicey proposition at best. They were bouncy. They were boomy. Lauren did a full flip in the air and came down on her nose. Tabitha was covered in snow and ice. Kim's shoulder still hurts. My socks fell apart due to the freeze/thaw cycle. But a grand time was had by all, and the cocoa was good.
Ah, the joys of the great outdoors.

Lafayette took its first steps toward what it hopes will be another truly special season on Saturday with a 25-14 win at Sacred Heart.
The Leopards were rewarded Monday, when the new national rankings came out.
Lafayette checked in at No. 25 in the The Sports Network's top 25 poll, its first regular-season appearance in a national poll since 1988, when the Leopards rose to the No. 5 ranking in I-AA on their way to the Colonial League championship.

My son doesn't have WHAT???
I called The Ex right away about it, and all I got was him telling me that son WANTED to sleep on the floor, a hang up, and then texts asking if I'm drunk. NO MUTHAFUCKER I'M A PISSED OFF MOTHER CONCERNED ABOUT HER FIRST BORN CHILD'S WELL BEING!!! This is absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. And the thing that makes me even angrier is that I KNOW he's going to go back and yell at my son for telling me. And folks wonder why I got divorced?? You see what kind of dumb ass I was married to???? And what's more fucked up is that I got berated mercilessly when I moved into my apartment and my son had to sleep on an air mattress for 2 months until I could afford to buy him a new bed because I LEFT my son's old bed supposedly so The Ex could have it for my kids to have something to sleep on!! But of course, he left it in the house, just like he left everything else in the house, because he was too lazy and bitchassed to go back in there and get the rest of the stuff that I left for HIM.
Oooooooooh I am so mad right now!! And it hurts because I feel like there's nothing I can do about it. I think I'm going to send Son home on Sunday with the air mattress that I still have around here. At least that's something until those bastards take their heads out each other's asses and get my son a bed.
I just wish I could bring my baby home......

8 Apr 2016
Jesus wasn't interested in "greatness." He wasn't interested in being right; nor were the Apostles. If anything, they found delight in being shoved in the dirt for their faith. Instead, Jesus and his Apostles were interested in being true . . . true to God's vision of the heavenly kingdom; true to the principles of peace and mercy; true to the ideals of sacrificial love.
We don't see Jesus going around trying to pick fights. Nor do the Apostles do it. Their main "offensive weapon" (if we can all it that) is to be men of integrity. And that's our main "offensive weapon" as well. We don't need to go around trying to pick fights with other Christians or atheists or anybody else. All we need to do is live as true brothers and sisters in Christ; to love God, and to love our neighbor.
Our witness to Christian love in the world is the most powerful "offensive move" we can make in a world that desperately needs to hear the Gospel. And that's because authentic Christian living is a magnet: by the sheer fact of our being true to our faith, we will both attract and repel people. And if some people try to attack us for our beliefs, well, then we can defend ourselves . . . with arguments and even righteous anger.
But our basic way of life is to just live and love as Christ does. That's the example the Apostles give us—and we see how their witness to faith and love has changed the world. And we also see that the Pharisee Gamaliel was right: the things of God are what endure. So whatever we do, however we live, may we do it as true children of God, and as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Kalinga Times Correspondent
Bhubaneswar, June 19: Odisha government on Friday ordered suspension of a senior police officer for dereliction of duty with the regard to Thursday's incident in which nine police personnel were killed in a landmine blast triggered by the Maoist in Koraput district.
"Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Laxmipur has been placed under suspension for having disobeyed standing instructions to be followed while carrying out anti-naxalite operations," Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik informed the state Assembly.
While making a statement on the landmine blast incident, Patnaik said that the Deputy Inspector General of Police of South Eastern Range was directed to submit a detailed report on the killing of the policemen within a week.
Patnaik made a statement on the issue in the Assembly after his return from Koraput where he reviewed the situation in the aftermath of the Maoist attack.
Intensive combing operations and follow up action was underway in the area by the Central Reserve Police Force and the State police, he said.
The government had come under attack on the second consecutive day in the Assembly with the opposition parties – Congress and BJP – blaming it for the frequent Maoist attack in the state in the recent weeks.
The nine police personnel who were killed in the Thursday's landmine blast at Palur near Narayanpatna in Koraput district include an Assistant driver of the State police and eight men of the Odisha Special Striking Force, who were all ex-servicemen from different parts of the country.

Spontaneous or Equivocal generation is the term applied to the alleged production of living beings without the pre-exist-ence of germs of any kind, and therefore without the pre-exist-ence of parent organisms. The question is one which has been long and closely disputed, and is far from being settled; so that it will be sufficient to indicate the facts upon which the theory rests.
If an animal or vegetable substance be soaked in hot or cold water, so as to make an organic infusion, and if this infusion be exposed for a sufficient length of time to the air, the following series of changes is usually observed:
1. At the end of a longer or shorter time, there forms upon the surface of the infusion a thin scum, or pellicle, which, when examined microscopically, is found to consist of an incalculable number of extremely minute molecules (fig. 4, A).
Fig. 4. - A, Living particles or molecules developed in organic infusions ; B, Bacteria developed in organic infusions, highly magnified. (After Beale.)
2. In the next stage these molecules appear, many of them, to have increased in size by endogenous division, till they form short staff-shaped filaments, called "bacteria" (fig. 4, B). Others increase in length by the same process until we get long filamentous bodies produced, which are termed "vibriones." Both the bacteria and the vibrios now exhibit a vibratile or serpentine movement through the surrounding fluid.
3. After a varying period, the bacteria and vibrios become motionless, and disintegrate so as to produce again a finely molecular pellicle.
4. Little spherical bodies may now appear, each of which is provided with a vibratile cilium with which it moves actively through the infusion (Monas lens).
5. Varied forms of ciliated Infusoria - some of which possess a mouth and are otherwise highly organised - may make their appearance in the fluid.
The above is the general sequence of the phenomena which have been observed, and the following are the two theories which have been advanced to account for them:
a. By the advocates of spontaneous generation, "Abio-genesis" or "Heterogeny," it is affirmed that the Infusoria which finally appear in the infusion are produced spontaneously out of the molecular pellicle, the molecules of which are also of spontaneous origin, and are not derived from any preexisting germs.
b. By the "panspermists," or the opponents of spontaneous generation, it is alleged, on the other hand, that the production of Bacteria, Vibrios, Monads, and Infusoria, in organic infusions, is due simply to the fact that the atmosphere, and probably the fluid itself, is charged with innumerable germs - too minute, perhaps, to be always detectable by the microscope-which, obtaining access to the fluid, and finding there favourable conditions, are developed into living beings.
A large number of elaborate experiments have been carried out to prove that atmospheric air is absolutely necessary for the production of these living beings, and that if the air be properly purified by passage through destructive chemical reagents, no such organisms will be produced, provided that the infusion have been previously boiled. As the results of all these experimental trials have hitherto proved more or less contradictory, it is unnecessary to enter into the question further, and it will be sufficient to indicate the following general considerations:
a. The primary molecules which appear in the fluid are extremely minute, and if they are developed from germs, these may be so small as to elude any power of the microscope yet known to us. As they subsequently become converted into bacteria and vibrios, and as there can be little dispute as to these being truly living organisms, we are obliged to believe that they must have had some definite origin. It appears, however, to be hardly philosophical to assume that they form themselves out of the inorganic materials of the infusion; since this implies the sudden appearance, or creation, of new force, for which there seems to be no means of accounting.
b. The nature of the vibrios must be looked upon as uncertain. To say the least of it, they are quite as likely to be plants as animals; and the most probable hypothesis would place them near the filamentous Confervae, or would regard them as the mycelium of various species of Moulds (Penicil-lium). The bacteria are undoubtedly of a vegetable nature, and referable to the Algae.
c. What has been said above with regard to the origin of the bacteria and vibrios applies equally to the origin of the Monads, which appear in the infusion subsequently to the death of the vibrios.
d. These monads, as shown by recent researches, are probably to be looked upon as, in some cases at any rate, the embryonic, or larval, forms of the higher Infusoria which succeed them.
e. Many of the Infusoria which finally appear are of a comparatively high grade of organisation, being certainly the highest of the Protozoa, and being placed by some competent observers in the neighbourhood of the Trematode Worms (Scolecida). It is therefore very unlikely that these should be generated spontaneously; since, if this ever occurs, it is reasonable to suppose that the creatures thus produced will be of the lowest possible organisation (such as the Gregarinidae or the Monera, for example), and will be far below the Infusoria in point of structure.
f. The reproductive process in many of these same Infusoria is perfectly well known, and it consists either in a true sexual process, for which proper organs are provided (as in Paramoe-cium), or in a process of gemmation or fission. It is therefore improbable that they should be generated in the manner maintained by the heterogenists, since this mode of reproduction would appear to be superfluous.
g. In the absence of any direct proof to the contrary, it is safer to adopt an explanation of the observed phenomena which does not have recourse to laws with which we are as yet unacquainted. Thus, it is not at variance with any known law to suppose that the primary molecules are the result of the development of germs which find in the organic infusion a suitable nidus; that these primary molecules and the vibrios which they produce are referable to the Protophyta, and should probably be placed near the filamentous Confervae; that by the death of these vegetable organisms the fluid is prepared for the reception and development of the germs of the Protozoa, for which the former serve as pabulum ; and that many of the forms which are observed are the larval stages of the higher Infusoria.
h. Recent researches, especially those of Dr Bastian, have established some new facts as to the possibility of spontaneous generation, but they can by no means be said to have settled the question, if only upon the ground that they require confirmation by other experimentalists. The chief fact which appears to have been established upon a tolerably firm basis is, that living beings, vegetable or animal, may make their appearance in organic infusions which have been subjected to a temperature of considerably over the boiling-point, even though the said infusions have been hermetically sealed in a flask from which all atmospheric air has been previously withdrawn. The chief deduction which appears to flow from this - assuming its correctness - is, that there are low organisms which can exist, for a certain length of time at any rate, with an extremely small amount of air; for it is to be remembered that the production of a theoretically perfect vacuum is probably practically impossible. If it were conceded, in fact, that a perfect vacuum had been formed in the experiments in question, the sole result would be that we should have to alter all our beliefs as to the conditions under which life is a possibility. The only tangible result of these experiments, so far, is, that any supposed "pre-existent germs" must have been contained, if present at all, in the infinitesimal portion of air which could not be expelled from the flasks experimented on; or, they must have been able to withstand without injury a temperature of over 212o. Mr Crace-Calvert, indeed, asserts that he has experimentally shown that vibrios can survive exposure to a temperature exceeding 3000 Fahrenheit, and Messrs Dallinger and Drysdale have shown the same of the germs of bacteria. Neither of these hypotheses is wholly incredible; but the question ought to be regarded as still sub judice. Under any circumstances, the entire question is one of such complexity as to be altogether unsuited for discussion here.
i. Still more recent researches, carried out in a series of elaborate experiments by Professor Tyndall, have supplied us with a complete physical demonstration that ordinary atmospheric air is invariably charged with innumerable particles of solid matter, many of which are so immeasurably minute as to be incapable of detection by the highest known powers of the microscope. The same observer has further shown that vibrios and bacteria are never produced in organic infusions, which, subsequent to boiling, are exposed only to air from which these floating molecules have been completely removed. In the face of these observations, it is difficult to see how the doctrine of "abiogenesis" can maintain its ground.

As a crisp breeze kissed my face and I see department stores ramping up on holiday décor with the seasonal Pumpkin Spice aroma (and flavor) floating in the air…it hit me. Cuffing season is upon us. Now as we assess our roster and cut-down to our starting 5 it is important to remember crucial factors in deciding WHO exactly will we boo up for the official 2017 Cuffing season which begins November 1st. (Please note: Although many variables factor in to who you should select for the top position, these are just a few skills and talents your top pick should possess.
It shouldn't have to be said, but I will. Cuffing season is about a boo to not only keep you warm on the outside, but you can light the fire within (ahem! not only the fire between your legs) Your prospect should have a steady source of income, afford to shower you with gifts during the holidays, and have a comfortable bed well-equipped to spooning…and the things that follow.
1.Make your pre-season count! Be sure to put your prospects through the ringer. Make sure they are up to the tasks of opening doors, picking you up on dates, returning calls and texts within a reasonable time, etc.
2.Ensure your cuffing boo's endurance is up to the challenge of holding you for hours at a time and that the arena (primarily couches and beds) are clean and comfortable.
3.Make sure your prospect has a giving heart. Let's face it, the cold season is about over-sized clothes to hide holiday weight, good food, and nice gifts for Christmas. Candidates should be generous (within reason of course) and want to go the extra mile to put a smile on your face.
4.Estimate your prospects nookie-I mean- snuggle factor- grooming and hygiene matter! Shorter days and longer nights means a lot of close contact. No one wants to be in close quarters with a mobile garbage can.
5.Check your feelings. Control your feelings, don't let your feelings control. Cuffing season is from Nov.1 to March 1. As the snow melts and temperatures begin to rise- often times cuffing buddies grow cold. Be prepared.
Although this blog may seem cold and calculating (kind of like Christmas consumerism pushed by big corporations) a good strategy always equals a successful cuffing season. Don't get it twisted- we are no Grinch to love, and if a winter thing turns into spring fling then a summer ring we are here for it!

Ah, Julie... sweet, innocent Julie. A fan favorite, and one of my personal favorites as well. Cute, shy, and strawberry blonde, what's not to like? (Although I don't want to take anything away from her opponent, smokin' hot redhead Sammy.) When I first met Julie, she wouldn't even risk opening her legs for the camera. Gradually I've been able to talk her into putting more and more daring forfeits on the line, but I still can't believe I was able to talk her into this one.
I you not about this: she was only willing to risk getting her pussy vibrated by Sammy on the condition that I not film it. I was not allowed in the room. Instead, Prudella operated one camera while the other sat stationary on a tripod. So if you've got issues with the videography, take it up with Prudie and Julie.
There was, however, somebody else in the room while the forfeit was being performed, but I won't spoil it for you. Speaking of spoilers, if you need one, the loser is Julie. Yay!
Great stuff.

Stronger Forearms
You can't smash the ball without them
Power generation in a good golf swing comes from a number of muscle groups: the legs, core, back muscles, etc. But unless you have adequate forearm strength, you won't be able to transmit the force created by those muscles into the club and ball, says Golf Digest fitness advisor Randy Myers.
"You'll also struggle to set the club correctly during the backswing or release it through impact," he says.
One warning sign that you lack sufficient forearm strength is how tightly you grip the club. Eighteen of the 35 muscles that control hand movements originate in the forearms. In many instances, a tight grip means those muscles are overmatched.
You should also be able to pronate and supinate your forearms, Myers says. Try this test: Extend your forearms while keeping the upper arms and elbows resting against the sides of your torso. With your hands clenched and thumbs up, try to rotate your forearms so the palm of each hand is facing straight up. Then rotate them until the palms are facing down. If you struggle accomplishing either or feel like you often hold the club too tightly, Myers prescribes these exercises ( right).

This is how it looks like at our home when the three are so into the movie they are watching. Their eyes are glued on TV. My couch potatoes love watching paranormal shows and they love comedy. I prefer drama, mystery, forensic kind of theme for shows. Then again, I seldom watch TV because I have so many things to do rather than watching TV.

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
He tells them not to be dismayed at the suffering he is going through for them. There is an age old literary device copied from the Bible where in a secular novel the hero, a type of Christ, suffers for the heroine, a type of the church. He who is stronger and powerful and noble and righteous sometimes even lays down his life for the object of his love, who can not do that for herself. He would sacrifice all for her glory. Paul, as a type of Christ, suffers for the little church bodies he has planted. He desires that they faint not.
14 ¶ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Paul is in awe of God's plan and in the position of worship for God's glory.
Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Notice the connection of "worship" and "bow down" by "and" making them synonymous.
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Modern versions of the Bible lending authority to Westcott and Hort's Critical Text eliminate, "of our Lord Jesus Christ,' based on a few corrupted manuscripts from the 4th, 5th, and 9th centuries.
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
This is the only time the word, family, is used in the New Testament.
The family of God are all those who are on earth and who have gone on before which are God's whether they be an Old Testament Hebrew or your saved grandfather who passed away or those sitting here, hearing or reading this who are saved.
The Church Triumphant is in heaven and the Church Militant is down here still doing battle, according to the old ways of looking at this.
You have a group of Gentiles before the Law from Adam to Enoch who believed God, as an example. Then you have Gentiles who become Hebrews such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The next group are Jews under the Law. You have Gentiles under the Law who placed their faith in God. You have then the church, the bride of Christ, which we are.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
You then have Tribulation Jews and Gentiles under the Law. Then, there are millennial Saints walking by sight as Christ is right there.
Paul has told us previously that we are already in heaven even though we are also here on this earth. What was said for chapter 2, verse 6 bears repeating here.
Our future is waiting for us in heaven. If you don't believe you can be in two places at one time then read this;
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Your dead spirit was born again and saved and now you are waiting for the redemption of your body in real time. We are there already, though, in the sense of eternity. It's already happened from the perspective of eternity, but as a temporal creature we have to wait, in time. You're already in heaven with Christ from this perspective.
Hebrew 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
An angel is an appearance, a presence, as in Isaiah 63:9, of persons, sons of God, churches, children, God Himself, and, I'm sure, many other things which somehow are projected by the representation that an angel is somewhere else in space-time.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
John1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Perhaps the saved will replace the sons of God who, "kept not their first estate," and, "the third part of the stars of heaven," who followed Satan in Revelation 12:4, stars representing angels as in Revelation 1:20.

I am honored to have a home that allows me to share the beauty of Vermont. I lived in Vermont since 1974 take great pride in our cultural heritage and environment. If you are a lover of nature and culture--or desire a quiet, private get-away, this place will offer you many options.
As an advid biker, skier, kayaker and all-around general outdoor enthusiast, I'd be honored to share the magic of the region.
Ellen Hill purchased this studio in 2013
The Pondhouse has been called magical and enchanted. I've travelled and lived overseas and have served in the Peace Corps. To own a home (that actually has two homes) and allows me to host people from all over the world is a unique privilege. Now that I have offered The Pondhouse to others and I read the reviews and the notes that are left behind, I know that others cherish their time here and create special memories. I have been meeting the nicest people who love the magic of Vermont!
The Pondhouse has been described many ways:
"The "home" as well as the outside surroundings with the gardens and the mountains in the background are spectacular, peaceful and pristine."
"Perfect weekend getaway to escape the city and find true peace and quiet. The house was tucked away and all you could hear were birds and frogs."
"The Pondhouse felt like a home away from home."
"If you are looking for a convenient, well- appointed, lovely spot to get away from it all, this is your place. The photos can't possibly do it justice."
"It is a perfect place for a couples getaway, great space for cooking and enjoying a meal and each other."
"It's peaceful with beautiful surroundings, yet conveniently located just down the road from the bustle at Smuggler's Notch."
Come discover the magic for yourself!
We loved this place. Step inside, open up the windows, sit down and start chillaxing! What a beautiful setting. The grounds are a true labor of love, and the more you look the more you see. Take in the lovely outside seating area, with handy bbq, adorable seating, artfully arranged wildflowers. Gaze out the huge windows in the comfortable living room area. If you are a foodie, you will find everything you need to cook up your favorite meals. (The pans were better than mine, sigh). The breeze blowing in the window next to the very comfortable bed (I want that blanket!) was a sheer pleasure. Oh, you can take an awesome bike ride around the area. The scenery is amazing,but you will also look forward to getting "home". And Ellen, she is one of the most interesting, real, nicest,most talented people we have met in a long time. We will be back,and it can't be soon enough. Shhhh, don't tell anyone else about it.
My wife & I went for a long weekend trip. This place is in a perfect spot. It's close enough to Jeffersonville & Smuggs. I cannot complain and certainly far cheaper than staying on the resort. Has great views of Mt. Mansfield. I would love to go back in the fall to do some hiking. I'm sure the colors are spectacular. Ellen the owner was great gave me some great recommendations for some local dining options. 158 main is the way to go. Thanks for a great stay and I look forward to booking in the near future.
Enjoyed the Pond House very much!
Ellen was an amazing host-warm, friendly, accessible, and respected our privacy. The space is gorgeous. I would be content just sitting in front of the window all day, enjoying the view. The furniture is super comfy and the kitchen well-stocked. I will definitley be coming back.
Enjoyed out weekend at the Pondhouse. Beautiful location and lovely space. Highly recommend. Thanks Ellen
Staying at the pondhouse was spectacular, it is beautiful and fully equipped with all the cookware needed. It was spotless upond arrival, of course, and provided cleaning materials to use. It is very spacious and the heat keeps the entire place warm and cozy for chilly nights. The view is magical and you can watch wildlife, such as deer and small creatures browse the property, right from the pondhouse couch. The furniture and bed is comfortable. Ellen was a fantastic host and was readily available to answer any questions we had. I would most definitely stay at the pondhouse again. It would be perfect for individuals and families who are visiting Smugglers Notch.
The Pond House is located in a region that offers:
* skiing- Smuggler's Notch Ski Area is 3 miles away; Jay Peak ~45minutes and Stowe is an hour away
* hiking - Mount Mansfield/ Smugglers Notch is 3 miles away as well as rivers with waterfalls and gorges
* biking - excellent road biking and mountain biking are right out the door, plus the Stowe bike path and the Missisquoi bike rail trail (27 miles of trail from St. Albans to Richford, VT) are close by
* canoeing - rent a canoe or kyak and paddle down the Lamoille River
* Art - Jeffersonville (3 miles away) is an art lovers community with Bryan Memorial Gallery (Yankee Magazine: 'Vermont's primary showcase for landscape art') and other galleries.

This section is from the book "Scientific Sewing And Garment Cutting", by Antoinette Van Hoesen Wakeman. Also available from Amazon: Scientific Sewing And Garment Cutting: For Use In Schools And In The Home.
It was in India that the printing of fabrics in various patterns and colors originated. The first printing of fabrics in Europe was near London in 1676.
The processes of printing cloth are very complex, but so perfectly is the machinery for this purpose adjusted that beautiful work is done with great rapidity. At Manchester, England, twenty-five yards of calico are printed in one minute.
There are two kinds of fabric printing, - block printing and machine printing. In block printing the pattern to be printed is cut on a block of sycamore wood as for wood engraving, the parts to make the impression being left prominent, and the rest cut away. An ingenious invention makes it possible to apply several colors at once by means of one block.
The printing which is now almost universally used is by means of cylinders covered with engraved copper. Each cylinder prints a single shade or color. There is a color box in the center of this machine, and by means of screws and other fine mechanical adjustments the pitch of each roller is so arranged that its particular color falls on the proper place with the most minute exactness. Although the machinery for doing this work is intricate and costly, and everything connected with it must be very carefully considered, the process is not expensive. If it were, calico and other printed cloth would not be as cheap as they are.
