Today was a GOOD day! When the fall and winter season began, I had a pretty tight plan on what I thought I could accomplish before the Spring and I am very happy to report, that it appears that plan will work to perfection. With the installation of the rear tail light panel, I am happy to say the major structural repairs to my car are complete. I still have to complete the welding on the axle tunnel repair panel seams and get the new panels in primer, but at least I have the comfort in knowing the car is structurally sound once again.
Several weeks ago, my Dad and I raided my local NPD for a truckload (literally) of sheet metal that included a new tail light panel and trunk lock support bracket to complete my panel replacement at the rear of the car. The tail light panel was a very nicely detailed stamping that fit the car quite well. The trunk latch support on the other hand was less so and required a bit more tweaking to get in order. Nothing major, just tweaking.
I started the installation by carefully centering and squaring the new trunk lock support on the inboard tail light panel. I have seen a lot of variability in the location of these brackets over the years, but it is critical that this be well centered so that the trunk lock mechanism works smoothly and the fuel filler tube passes through without interference, so take your time and get this right.
With the lock support welded in, I was finally to the point I could start the final fit of the tail light panel. The first thing I did was to establish the center of the rear trunk floor aperture and I did the same on the tail light panel lower interior flange. I reasoned that if my preparatory work was accurate, these two lines would line up when the panel was in its optimum position. This idea was a good one as alignment was easily verified with these reference points and positional repeatability was spot-on.
The first observation during the panel mock-up was that both quarter panel end cap flanges overlapped the upper raised panel bead on the tail light panel significantly. This prevented the panel from seating on its end-flanges properly and generally looked unfinished. So out came my trusty paint pen and straight edge and I marked the appropriate trim lines that would allow the panels to mate correctly.
With the end cap flanges trimmed, the panel fit amazingly well. This allowed me to install Clecos in the four corners with confidence and clamp the flanges with welding clamps such that I could accurately locate the spot weld locations around the panel. Once this operation was complete, I punched the required plug weld holes with my pneumatic punch and drilled the few remaining holes I couldn't reach with the punch. After a little deburring of the drilled holes, I fit the panel once again to verify everything was looking flight-ready.
The actual welding of the panel went smooth and without drama. I started by locking down the corners where I had the clamps located and then moved around the panel, welding the spots between the clamps to ensure tight flange fit and little distortion. After about an hour of welding and cooling each spot with air, the panel was fully installed and the chassis was solid once again.
I still need to weld in the bumper brackets, complete the axle tunnel welds, trim the drip edge at the front edge of the trunk floor, and prime the whole area, but those are small jobs that will be made much easier now that the car can be rolled over in the rotisserie again without concern for the integrity of the structure. It was a very good day…….
|The tail light panel; installation was preceded by having to align and weld in the trunk latch support to the panel. This is much easier than trying to do this with the panel tacked into the car.
|The first mock-up of the tail light panel shows the fit was remarkably good. Only slight tweaks would be required to get it right.
|I was amazed at the fit at the lower rear of the trunk floor in the unclamped state! Couldn't ask for better.
|Exact same overlap condition existed on the right side of the tail light panel as well.
|Using my trusty paint marker and a straight edge, I marked the end cap flange where I needed to trim it back to fit.
|Here is the right side marked for trimming as well.
|With the tail light panel removed it is much easier to see the extent of trimming required on the left end cap flange.
|The right side end cap flange required just a little bit more trimming for proper fit.
|Left side end cap is trimmed and ready to go!
|Right side end cap also ready.
|Now you can see how consistent the panel bead reveal is and the corner fit is much tighter.
|Right side fit is also very nice.
|After marking and punching the spot weld holes in the end cap flanges, I clamped the tail light panel in place and located it with Clecos
|This is a slightly better shot of how I mark the weld location on the tail light panel flange for sanding later.
|Welded! This panel went in like butter and the flange fits were superb!
|Right side shot of the panel welded into place.
|A shot along the bottom edge of the tail light panel flange.
|Left side end cap area after a bit of metal finishing.
|Right side end cap area after metal finishing.
|Only a spot of high-build primer will be required to smooth this flange area.
|After welding, the trunk floor to tail light panel interface still looks tight and right.
|Another shot down the lower flange to show how straight everything turned out.
|I just HAD to throw the end caps, trunk lid and some old tail light bezels in place to see how it looked! Awesome!
|It's been a LONG time since this 'ol girl looked so "complete" in the posterior. A good day indeed!

You'll probably be seeing quite a few pictures that I took yesterday - but it takes too much time for me to resize them all and it's not a venture I'm ready to start in on tonight.
The next picture's also from downtown KC but this one's taken from the sunroof while I was stopped at a light.
Now that I've started carrying a camera with me all over the place, you're going to be
And since I rent a car every time I go too far from home, and keep you posted on what kind it was each time - this time it was a Hyundai Sonata. When I first got into it it felt like I was driving a tank. But as soon as I realized just how quickly it would move, it rapidly became my new favorite. I'll have you all know I skillfully dodged two, maybe more, speeding tickets by slamming on the brakes at the last minute. So it wasn't very skillful, but I still don't owe another $200+ for my lead foot and speedy scenery driving abilities. Speaking of which I was denied diversion for that last ticket. Yeah, I applied for diversion, we talked to an insurance company who said that due to the excessive speed it was a good idea. Well I was denied for nothing other than, you got it - excessive speed. It seems diversion is only good for up to 20mph over the speed limit. I missed it by 5. Good thing I didn't get pulled over this time. I was determined to catch a BMW that passed me as if I were going the other direction. Dude was cruisin'. I hit 110 before noticing the highway patrol parked in the ditch. Needless to say BMW dude got away. But how he did it without a ticket I'll never know.
So have you visited my renter? Don't make me ask you again.

Salary originated in Roman times when soldiers were issued stipends for the purchase of salt. If a soldier did not do a good job he was not worth his salt. Now we work mostly to pay our rents or mortgages. I have a few coworkers that I could argue are not worth their rents.

Denver-based Top 100 firm Hein & Associates didn't want to be anyone's secret -- even a good one, as managing partner Brian Mandell-Rice had become accustomed to hearing from clients.
"It's not all that appealing to say 'best-kept secret,'" he explained. "We had to try to get our brand out there a little more and think that, as a firm clearly interested in growth, we wanted a much more visible brand. We needed refreshing."
The refresh became a two-year rebranding effort headed by the internal team of national marketing director Dorothy Donnelly, national marketing manager Kim Daly and marketing associate Caitlin Mead. And it began with research into the firm's messaging and positioning. To discover Hein's current market buzz, the team polled: Hein's 32 partners; a cross-section of its 201 employees from each of the firm's four offices in Denver, Houston, Dallas, and Irvine, Calif.; and 20 of Hein's audit and assurance, tax, and business advisory clients across the firm's five industry specializations.
And the one word that everyone was hearing was a familiar one -- or, at least, a more concise version of it.
The firm was known in the marketplace simply as "Hein," a discovery that both dovetailed into the next step of the marketing team's process, but also threatened to derail it.
After Donnelly joined Hein, a few months before the firm kicked off the rebranding plan in early 2010, she knew partner buy-in was critical, and it hit a crossroads when talk turned to simplifying the firm's name in new logo art.
"There was some debate," Donnelly recalled. "The original logo was Hein & Associates, LLP, and 'Certified Public Accountants and Advisors.' The firm is really proud of our professionalism and adherence of a professional standard. That really communicated the sophistication of the firm."
Donnelly knew the team had to tread lightly in suggesting drastic changes, and she did so by selecting a few words of her own. "It's not a 'change of a logo,' but a 'refresh,'" she remembered explaining. "Exploring is good, instead of dictating -'Take a look at it.'"
Hein interviewed eight different agencies before selecting Boulder, Colo., design and interactive agency Vermilion to handle both the visual branding and Web site revamp. The original plan was to start with the site, but "secretly the marketing team knew if we went down the road of the Web site, the logo would need to be refreshed as well," Donnelly explained. "We let the partners come to the conclusion themselves that, 'Yeah, I see this isn't working.'"
This strategy of steering while conceding approval was essential when presenting logo options.
"One way to convince them, is because the visual brand could reinforce what the verbal brand was," Donnelly continued. "As we developed the Web site, we had the old logo plugged in to various concepts and were showing [the partners]. We had six different directions that were whittled down to three. They could kind of see, [the old logo] doesn't present very well. I just suggested they allow us to explore the options and they could stay with [the old logo] if they wanted to, but just throw a few dollars toward exploration."
Before even broaching these suggestions to the partners, of course, that dollar amount had to be clarified.
"As a marketing team, we stepped back and did a lot of research and broke down work into phases and what we could do to manage in a budget that would be palatable for the partners. We debunked myths, like that building a new Web site has to cost $100,000 - it's something very different from that in terms of what it costs. To stay in budget is palatable, by using in-house talent and looking for outside help where we needed it. They agreed."
In addition to the agency, Hein also brought in a freelance professional writer to help with messaging, a graphic designer to uphold new branding standards, and, later, a separate agency to implement search engine optimization once the new site was complete.
Donnelly stressed the importance of not rushing any part of this process, with open communication at all levels throughout -- especially since partner approval at each stage was never a given.
"Wholesale change is very difficult for organizations and, in general, accountants are particularly skeptical of sweeping change," she said. "We presented multiple versions of changing logos, from a close change to a drastic new look, and [the chosen logo] ended up in the middle or closer to progressive than we expected."
In addition to excising the wordy "& Associates: Certified Public Accountants and Advisors" from after the "Hein" name, the overhauled logo features a new font and three curved arches in warm colors, and solves old format-readability issues.
The final decision was made by the marketing team, Mandell-Rice and the partners-in-charge of the four regional offices, causing some friction.
"We received some heat on that after the fact," Donnelly acknowledged. "When we rolled it out internally, there was some criticism for not including the broader partner group on the decision, and we knew there would be. We were kind of making a decision between including everyone and slowing down the process with 30 decision-makers, which was almost close to a path to failure. In retrospect, we could have done more to involve the broader partner group, but ultimately, we would have ended up where we were -- we ended up with a brand that really suits the firm."
The Web site had to match, but with room to accommodate the firm growth that Mandell-Rice anticipates.
"A year and a half ago, we really put a much larger focus on acquiring specialized talent, and the development of our people," he reported. "We have our eye out for strategic acquisitions and new service lines."
Hein's current service lines encompass five industries: energy, manufacturing, private equity, real estate and construction, and technology. Each is highlighted in-depth on the new site in an attempt to create greater interaction with the marketplace, Donnelly said. That will soon extend to whitepapers, articles, webinars, blogs and other online resources. Energy is one industry in which Hein is well-equipped to share expertise, as a provider of specialized tax and advisory services in the areas of alternative energy, mining, and oil and gas.
"Our first focus is energy, and we're clearly growing that practice," shared Mandell-Rice. "From the compliance side, it's more important to bolster that expertise nationwide."
Hein also serves clients globally, a fact that Donnelly hopes the refreshed image will spread beyond the firm's more possessive clients - those who wanted to keep it a secret. She has already seen the new messaging enthusiastically initiated inside the firm, most notably among those early doubters.
"The thing I love about skeptics is that once they get turned around, they're your biggest advocates," she explained. "Some of the most critical people are bringing that brand out to the marketplace, in business cards or a logo-accompanied sponsorship. The feedback is so incredibly positive, and some of the biggest skeptics are now the biggest fans of the brand."

Illustrator and designer Peter Judson has become widely known for his vivid isometric room depictions – too well known, in his opinion.

Boy do I love Fridays. It's the end of a long, hard worked school week, the beginning to a possibly epic weekend, and a splash of good weather to fill in the middle. And after watching Kerri Washington's insanely phenomenal wardrobe exhibited on the season premiere of Scandal last night, I was feeling inspired to dress up to put the cherry on top of the day. I Take the Stares to my Friday Happy with a little black & green this afternoon...
Anyone who knows a thing or two about Georgia weather knows that Fall is still going to feel like summer for at least the first month in. So I picked up my Friday Happy today with this green mini-skirt and black waist belt over a sheer black cardigan that I tucked in for more of a high waisted look.
Don't let the day pass without getting your Friday Happy on!

Video response: Sir Ken Robinson Speech-- Ted.com
Sir Ken Robinson on Ted.com
I was pleasantly surprised with how funny and engaging Sir Ken Robinson is to watch! He tackles real issues and raises important questions—all while making us laugh! It is such a delight to watch him speak about the Arts and Education! If only more speakers could have his amazing presence!
As I was watching his video, I was constantly jotting down strong quotes and phrases that were said. I felt like I was being overwhelmed with amazing insight! There was such an abundance of valuable information, yet was somehow effortlessly and eloquently presented in this rather short speech!
I hold a large amount of value in his entire speech, to be honest. Sentence after sentence of thought-changing information! I wish every educator would watch this video. Heck, I wish every
would watch this video. It sure would change some minds about how we run education today!
There are several quotes that stood out in particular to me and I would like the chance to respond to them and expand.
-"Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they're not…because the things they are good at are highly stigmatized.
I find this to be extremely valuable and extremely true! There is such a stigma about what qualities and talents are valued in education and which aren't. But, why? Why are the arts constantly being put on the back burner? Why are they so undervalued?
-"Creativity is as important as literacy." And "We are all born creative. The goal is to stay creative as we grow." Amen! While the value in math, science and English are clear; skills like imagination, creativity, and art- making are under-valued. As a result, we are fostering students who can write a hell of a paper, who can do calculus and chemistry with ease—but who are not fully prepared for the real word (for the working world) because they lack the means to
their ideas in a creative way. They lack the skills to create and use their imaginations.
Why can't ALL areas of learning be seen as equals? Why can't we strip away the stigma and simply allow people to excel in what they are good at? What they have a natural drive, passion and talent for? Or, as Robinson says, "what you've been
to do." Why are we as educators stifling children's creativity?
-"Mistakes are seen as bad, but if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original!"
I think this is one of the largest problems in education today. Even as adults, we are all terrified of making mistakes, of failing—because we have been brainwashed that this is the worst thing that could possibly happen to you. Being wrong! Making a mistake! Being…a human—oh, no! Where did this come from and why does it hold such a strong hold on learners in today's society? How can we as educators break this hold?
-The story about Jillian Lane really struck a chord with me. I actually began to cry when I heard this story. It was truly beautiful and moving, but at the same time it made me wonder…what would have happened to Jillian if she had gone to some other therapist? One who didn't simply see her as a different kind of learner? Who didn't see her as a dancer who needed to embrace her natural talent and love for movement? Would she have become who she is today? Are we as educators, hindering what our students could do? What they could become --due to our set definitions and stereotypes about learning and what skills are valued or not valued? Is that student who can't sit still in class unfocused, or do they just need to express their learning in another way? Are they a dancer? Could he/she be the next Jillian Lane? Is the child who constantly doodles during lecture the next Van Gogh? Maybe and maybe not. But if we stifle that creativity-- if we assign values to some skills and strip them away from others—if we try to change who people really are, we will never know.
If you liked this video, you should watch his follow up video. It is equally fabulous!
Here is his follow up video!

Elevator Speech
During my time in graduate school at NYU, I have heard over and over the term "Elevator Speech". Professors are constantly saying, "everyone should have an elevator speech prepared for what the do and why it is important". As I am nearing graduation and beginning my job search, I am realizing more than ever how important this truly is. Especially as arts educators, we (more than anyone) need to be able to justify
what we do
why we do what we do
why it's beneficial
! I'm not saying it's fair! But it is reality. In schools-- what is the first thing to go if there are budget cuts? The arts! Without a doubt! Especially in Ohio, where I am from, most schools do not offer a performing arts curriculum of any kind. And many due to budget cuts no longer have any arts program. I repeat...NO ARTS PROGRAM!!
While the view on the value of the arts is improving (slowly) it still has a long way to go. Therefore, it is our responsibility to help move this effort along. I encourage everyone in the Arts or Art Education to prepare their own 30 second Elevator Speech!
I ask you: if you had 30 seconds to pitch the value in what we do-- why the arts are important, what would

"If you're not having fun, you're probably not doing it right!"
Last week at PPAS (my student teaching placement), Senior Shakespeare Scene Study class had the pleasure of working with Michael Rogers-- an accomplished Broadway actor and expert on Shakespeare. He offered a plethora of valuable information on technique and acting Shakespeare, as well as many useful activities I can steal for the future! :) This was all amazing and very useful, but those aren't the things I am going to remember a few weeks from now...a few years from now. But this, I will remember forever: "If you're not having fun, you're probably not doing it right". What an idea! It's so simple, but so true! I feel like as actors, and also as teachers of the arts we often forget this simple fact. We get wrapped up in all the technique, and desire to reach "perfection", that we rob ourselves of the simple pleasure Theatre offers. Why do we do art? Why do we act? Because we love it! We are passionate about it! It lifts us up and makes us feel alive. IT'S FUN!!!!! Yes, we have important objectives in teaching Theatre and sometimes it will be serious, but when it comes down to it, when you are up on the stage--
just have fun
! If you're not enjoying it, then why are you doing it? Why go through all the effort that acting demands?
I just thought this was an excellent point and it had a great impact on me, as well as my students! After he said this, it was clear the students embraced it and as a result their acting actually improved. Such a simple instruction-- "have fun" and the entire scene was transformed. They were alive on stage!
When an actor is really
on the stage and having fun-- the audience will go on the ride with you and as a result, we will have fun and enjoy it more!

Day 126
Today my friend Darren followed me to the ear doctor. A whole bunch of old people were waiting for the doctor's office to be opened, so we had to put down our names on the list after them. We couldn't bother waiting so I dropped him at his apartment then we went back to the doctor a little later. When we got back, you know we were celebrities, because the crowd of old Japanese simply were amazed by the 2 foreigners. More me than my friend because him is half Asian (Phillipino) and half white. It really get to me sometime when I see the kids just staring at me in horror. I remember seeing this little kid looking as if she wanted to walk pass me to use the bathroom, but every time she took like 2-3 steps, she would turned back and go to her mom. Eventually her mom had to walk with her. How can I live somewhere when I feel like a blasted monster ?? Sometimes I think I would prefer the city BUT there is too expensive suh mi betta jus easy mi self.
I then went into the doctor's office and of course I could not understand a word the doctor was saying so my friend had to be translating for me. The doctor looked into my left ear and he basically said that he wasn't sure if I had an infection because there was some sort of build up. So He had to do the syringe business. It feel nice when the warm water is going in my ears but then mi start to get dizzy. Eventually he did it to both ears then do this suction thing. After all this I was hearing very well :) :) BUT now my right ear is hurting me like crazy. The ringing stopped and I can hear properly but mi ears a hurt mi wicked wicked. The doctor said this was supposed to happen though.
Any way, I watched the movie "Wanted" today and it was pretty awesome. Sorta reminded me of a couple a movies that I enjoyed like:
V for vendetta
It wasn't as good as any of them but it just reminded me of them. I also paid my gas bill today, which is running competition with my phone bill for the top spot.
I then went with the other ALTS in the night to our English conversation thingy. We had a whole bunch of food there so we all ate and chatted. There is not much fun things to do in our country area, so we have to meet and create our fun, the cities are too far away.
Ohh and If you heard about the earthquake (http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-07-23-voa64.cfm) , no I didn't feel it, some of my friends felt it though. My friend who I did the presentation with in Narita said it was the most horrible 40 seconds of his entire life, as his apartment is on the 4th floor.

States Urge Tougher Curbs on E-Cigarettes
More than two dozen state attorneys general urged the Food and Drug Administration on Friday to impose restrictions on electronic cigarettes, including prohibiting television advertising and banning the wide variety of candy and fruit flavors that have helped make e-cigarettes popular.
Such curbs would be far tougher than those proposed in April by the FDA. At the time, the agency said it planned to prohibit the sale of the battery-powered devices to anyone under age 18 but stopped short of proposing restrictions on advertising, online sales and flavored e-cigarettes.
"While the Proposed Rule addresses some of our concerns, it fails to address matters of particular concern, such as characterizing flavors, the marketing of e-cigarettes, and the sale of tobacco products over the Internet," a group of 29 attorneys general from states including California, New York and Illinois wrote in a 33-page letter submitted to the FDA on Friday.
E-cigarettes turn nicotine-laced liquid into a vapor and represent a small but fast-growing alternative to traditional smokes in the $100 billion U.S. tobacco industry. U.S. sales of e-cigarettes could top $2 billion this year, up from zero less than a decade ago, according to industry estimates.

BBC 2 now
I think it's interesting in at least 2 respects. Firstly, that these soldiers do not know an awful lot about what they're fighting for and why (the US army does tend to recruit from poor districts and I can't imagine they have lots of access to free media out there). But also, I know a lot of people will hate the American army for what they're doing, but in reality the philosophy they have is much like any soldier's philosophy going back hundreds of years - what they're concerned about is getting out alive and helping their friends get out alive.
I remember watching this program a couple of years ago, and it did change some of my views about Americans. See, even I'm flexible sometimes. Especially when you see them at a funeral for one of their friends. The soldiers on the ground, they're not there to 'kick ass' or be all 'gung ho', they'd much rather just go home without another shot fired. But their commanders, and the ultimate chief of the armed forces, Mr Bush, would rather they got busy getting their extremities shot off. It reminds me a little of tactics in the First World War.
And you see some people in this program who genuinely think they can make a difference, and if you added everything up on paper, they probably could. But no one can possibly account for the wide and varied human dynamics of the Middle East. It's a situation that stretches far beyond country boundaries and quite clearly demonstrates that foreign policy cannot exist from country to country in isolation. There's no point offering billions in aid to Iraq if we ignore Syria and Lebanon. As I'm sure I've said before, we now live in a global society, where our actions towards the rest of the world govern how we are perceived. Even if we believe we're helping Iraq, it won't better our position in the global community unless we extend that to the rest of the Arab world, and indeed, the rest of the world.
This piecemeal approach to foreign policy adopted by our government just doesn't cut it any more.
You know, I wish I could finish this post with an insightful, perhaps unique perspective on resolving the West's current problems with acceptance by the rest of the world to it's good intentions to conflict resolution, but frankly I don't have one.
But I can add my cynical mind to what might happen in the near future:
1. Huge war in the Mid East, we're talking millions killed because everyone's too chicken to make the first move for peace, and Israel feels threatened, so uses atomic weapons.
2. Huge war in the Mid East, we're talking millions killed because in fact the Iranians aren't as slow as we think they are, so they drop a big ol' nuke on Israel.
3. Americans get bored of trying to resolve the whole situation, so nuke the whole Mid East, and want to start again, a la a new strawberry crop (they never grow first time, the fuckers).
4. Israel just nukes everyone nearby next week. Peace in the Mid East because there's no one alive there. And China & N Korea learn that Israel's got an itchy trigger finger (whilst obviously the UK are so peaceful they wouldn't use nukes unless they were targeted first....hmmm - defeats the object surely??!) So as soon as they've both got big hairy nukes, they use them on Israel.
5. Huge nuclear stand off - US/UK/Europe (perhaps) vs. China, N. Korea, Iran (still at theory stage, but have far too many oil reserves to be ignored).
6. We all decide that Einstein was wrong and that if we unleash another nuclear weapon it's sure to implode the entire universe. Unfortunately someone already dropped some atomic bombs a while ago, and the universe didn't implode. But many of the scientists at the time weren't sure that it wouldn't. That makes you feel all warm inside doesn't it?
7. The West spends so much effort on sorting out the Mid East that it ignores the rest of the world, and N Korea threatens the rest of the world with it's beardy A-bombs. But more importantly, Pakistan and India are still going at it like a couple of indoor cats on heat.... (you see where my mind is at right now?).
8. I reckon I might just go and live in Antarctica right now, if we weren't making it melt.....
9. Pictures of Thames Water incompetence coming tomorrow.
10. The numbering's really becoming irrelevant isn't it?
11. Don't watch Lost next week - it's hella scary.
12. So Rachel, Elgar managed to find a way out this evening, however he was still sitting on the outside windowsill when I went to find him. So either he's scared of heights, or I caught him mid prison break.....
13. Please, someone way smarter than me, sort out what is going on. Is it just me, or do people think that perhaps if the people in charge of each country were removed from the process, we'd actually make some progress? If people were not worried about losing face, maybe this world would get somewhere.
It's sad though. As my career progresses, one of the things that I try to stay true to is that people make mistakes, that's life, just learn and move on. Working for such a huge organisation I find that most people are not happy to take responsibility, but not me. And when mistakes are made, or even that no mistakes are made, yet something doesn't go exactly as planned, they always look for someone to blame. Give me the responsibility and I'm happy to take it. If my team mess up, then that's ultimately my fault and I'll deal with it. But the responsibility is mine, not an individual within my team. I really don't have a problem with admitting I've made a mistake. I'm 27 ffs, how could I be expected to know everything, how could my colleagues that are learning from me?
This is a monster post and we've sort of got away from the original point... whatever it was. But I reckon what I'm getting at is that responsibility should be delegated to those at the front line, whatever profession you find yourselves in.

Please try not to lose my cat. I did tell you he was an escapologist, didn't I?
I've found the same blame culture as you've described everywhere I've worked - even the places where it's enshrined in their HR standard thingies. I had to take a stand the other day and bitchslap some people into not making changes to the web because ultimately, every word on that website is my responsibility and if we get sued because a phrase is ambigious, it's my ass. And I got told "oh no, we're all one team" which is utter rubbish - we're all one team when everyone wants to play, but if the shit hits the fan I'll step up, and saying "sorry, that wasn't me" isn't going to wash with the senior management team. So Tony, still clinging to the belief there's weapons of mass destruction are we? Grow a pair and take some responsibility for your own fuck up.

Today as I was checking the stats to my blog using Google Analytics I noticed I got one hit from a google search for "blogs bashing newspring church".
For those that may not know, Newspring Church is in Anderson, South Carolina and is pastored by a guy named Perry Noble.
Perry writes a very popular blog and for reasons I can't understand gets criticized by Churches. Their church has grown to be a church that averages around 7,000. (Newspring guys and gals if I got that number wrong, sorry.)
I just want to go on record that we nor I are "not" a blog, church, pastor, or flat out anything that bashes Newspring.
I got total respect for these guys and would actually love to either go visit and see what they are doing or talk with a certain someone or other someone from there about what is going on. I think there is a whole lot Journey Church can learn from Newspring.
Just like our church could learn a lot from Bayarea which is in our city. I got a chance to go visit them last month and I have the utmost respect for them. I thought their Pastor Bil Cornelius presented an awesome message and I was actually shocked since I had "heard" so many things through the years from pastors and Christians. It really saddens me when churches can't recognize that just because we don't do "church" the same way doesn't mean that certain other churches aren't "of God."
I really feel there are many pastors out there that need to grow up when it comes to this. You would get farther ahead in your church if you learned from some of these men. It doesn't mean you have to adopt everything or believe everything they do. There are so many things that these men of God and these churches are doing right to reach the lost.
Here's the deal. If you don't have the guts to go to one of these churches or sit down and speak to these pastors of growing churches, one on one...then do us all a favor and shut-up.
Now if you just want to keep your little holy huddle "us four and no more" then by all means do it but shut-up.
I would even go as far to say that one reason you are probably not growing (if you even want to) is because you are criticizing some mighty works of God.
And if you are part of Journey Church, know that we are going to edify and pray for other churches out there that God is using to reach the lost. And we are going to be a church that grows because there are numbers of lost people out there in this city that God has called us too. And we are going to be a church that does whatever it takes to Connect Them With God.
And we are going to Impact This World.

Stumbled across your blog totally by accident - and I'm a NewSpringer!! I'm a member and volunteer - and I'm here to tell you that we would LOVE to have you visit!! I can promise that you would witness an incredibly creative presentation of the gospel that was totally relevant to your life - and the love and passion within those walls and spilled out into the community would blow your mind! :) Thank you for building us up as a church. I'm saying a prayer for yours - afterall, we're all on the same team! It's all about the Great Commission (and as Perry says, not the Great Suggestion!)!!!

text: If Neil Armstrong were a scientist, we're pretty sure he would've said that about this breakthrough study. For the first time ever, the spread of the HIV virus was stopped in its tracks in a living animal, including in a humanized model. Kudos to Dr. Wenhui Hu and his team at LKSOM. This was done by using the gene editing technology CRISPR/Cas9. After replicating the findings from their previous proof-of-concept study, the team tested mice infected with EcoHIV (mouse equivalent to human HIV-1) and mice that were engrafted with human immune and T cells (i.e., "humanized") then HIV-1. In both tests they were able to successfully excise and block further infection. Take that, HIV.

This little yellow bear is named Daffodil, she has a daffodil garland on her head and an embroidered daffodil on her foot.
Somehow I started collecting bears. Friends would give them to me or I would find an irresistible one. With the collection growing too big I made the decision (same as with the tea cups) to only collect yellow bears! I have about eight little yellow bears now, plus the other colors. My craft room/Creative Memories room is called the bear room because it is decorated with bears. I can't decide which is my favorite, they are all so cute, and everybody needs a bear hug sometimes!

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a combined intervention to reduce inappropriate hospital stays.
Design: Quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test with a non-equivalent control group.
Setting: Three teaching hospitals in the National Health System in Alicante, Spain.
Study participants: Intervention group (2 Surgical Units with 1451 hospital stays) and control group (1 Surgical Unit with 1268 hospital stays).
Intervention: Structured oral presentation followed by direct feedback to surgeons about their own percentages of inappropriate stays and daily evaluation of appropriateness by the surgeons during their rounds.
Main outcome measures: Reduction in the percentage of inappropriate stays identified by the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol during the intervention period compared to the basal period.
Results: The intervention group reduced its percentage of inappropriate stays from 14.3% to 7.9% (absolute reduction: –6.40; 95% CI –10.7 to –2.14; relative reduction: 44.8%), while no changes occurred in the control group. The reduction was in the number of inappropriate stays attributable to the patients' medical management that went from 12.7% to 5.8% (absolute reduction: –6.92; 95% CI –10.90 to –2.92), while no significant changes occurred in inappropriate stays due to other causes.
Conclusions: A combined intervention of feedback and physician participation in appropriateness evaluations is effective in reducing the percentage of inappropriate hospital stays, particularly those attributable to conservative medical patterns at discharge.

Extracts from a Discourse by Joseph Parker, D.D [Bible Standard, No. 2, November, 1877, pp14-15.]
London boasts many able preachers, and among their number Joseph Parker, D.D., now of the City Temple, holds a conspicuous place. This gentleman long ago identified himself with those who believe and teach that pain is but an episode in life, and not of eternal continuance; and that righteousness alone has for its guerdon and crown everlasting being.
When we have sometimes mentioned the name of this celebrity as in sympathy with the doctrine of the non eternity of evil, we have had the question put to us, "Why, if such a man believes as you say, does he not preach it?" We have the pleasure this month of making some extracts from a sermon of his, printed in the Christian Union of December 31, 1875, by which it will be seen that he does preach it. The remarks occur under the text heading, "The City Temple Pulpit" being on page 833. They are as follows:-
"The doctrine of eternal torments, as popularly understood, was the next doctrine that used to give me much uneasiness. My minister – an honest and faithful man, well read in the letter of Scripture – wished me to believe that impenitent sinners, and all the heathen world, were condemned to the torment of literal fire. … I felt that it could not be true, yet I could not put into words the strong feeling which rose up in my heart against it. I saw, if this doctrine were true, that God had given to His creatures a power which he could not take from them, namely, the power of living forever, and defying Him to put an end to their existence. … The wicked man, shut up in fire and brimstone, would be able to say to God, "I am as immortal as You are! You cannot put an end to my being; I challenge, I defy you to destroy me; and in this pit there are millions upon millions like me, from every land under the sun; we outvote Your saved ones; in mere numbers we overwhelm You; hell is larger than heaven; and while hell exists it will be a memorial against Your supposed omnipotence." I know these were horrible words, but I saw that there was no getting over them by fair and sound argument. I could have said, "Hush!" and I could have avoided the subject; but this was neither honest nor bold.
"If God had the power to put an end to the misery, by putting an end to the existence of these unhappy creatures, and did not exercise that power, I felt that the argument told against Him in a deadlier manner; for whilst in the first instance it might be a strictly logical necessity, it became in the second instance a moral purpose, a deliberate and absolutely worthless visitation of cruelty, I say, "absolutely worthless," because it led to nothing, and was meant to lead to nothing. … The case used to show itself to my view in this way: – The man sinned for a period of seventy years; and then he spent seventy years in hell fire, and seventy more, and a hundred more, and a thousand more, and a million more, and was told in the madness of his agony that his punishment was only beginning to begin; and then he lingered a thousand ages more, and he was told he was as far from the end of his torture as he was at the beginning! As I thought this, I was filled with great distress; not so much on account of myself as actually on account of God; for I felt that it was not right that there should be a limit to mercy and no limit to punishment – that mercy should plead for a brief day, but that punishment should have the liberty of innumerable ages, I said in my young ardour, "This is not even-handed justice; it is utterly unlike God."
"So I gave up this horrible view of the destiny of the wicked because my moral instincts would not tolerate it. … I proceeded to open the Bible and consult the Revelation. I soon found relief. I saw that man was made capable of immortality; that God's design was that man should live for ever, but that he should not do so by an arbitrary decree but by his own consent to the will of God; so that immortality should not be a burden but a blessing, – for a frightful thing it is to be what you cannot help being! Mark that doctrine clearly if you please, and see how carefully God has saved Himself from every reproach that might arise from its application. Has God given you a body? Yon can destroy it. Has God given you reasoning faculties? You can turn yourself into a madman. Has God sent you into a certain country? You can denationalise yourself. Has God made you susceptible of immortality? You may choose death rather than life. Tell me that I must be immortal, and you oppress me with a burden; tell me that I may be immortal, and you preach to me glad tidings of great joy. Such glad tidings I found in the Gospel. Christ asked me to live: He said He came to give me life; He said that He Himself was the Life."
From other remarks made by Mr. Parker in the same discourse it appears that he would like to see his way clear to "final and universal restoration of the human race," [who would not?] but is unable to do so. He concludes with the following advice-
"What I want you to do in this matter, however, is clear enough; do not un-Christianise any man who is trying to mitigate the awful gloom which accompanies the doctrine of the unceasing, undiminishing, and hopeless torture of the wicked. If any man thinks he can throw one ray of light on this dark problem, welcome him as a brother, and listen to him lovingly, if haply he may have a message from God; and whatever decision you may come to, hold it reverently, and modestly, being always ready to receive light and help from every quarter. Whatever darkness may rest upon the destiny of the wicked, it must be a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God; yet, seeing that His mercy endureth for ever, it is better to fall into the hands of God, than into the hands of men. One thing is certain; those who are in Christ can never die! [i.e. forever.] That is the blessed truth- that is the glorious gospel! Able and honest men may differ widely as to the destiny of the finally impenitent, but there can be no substantial difference of opinion as to the future of those who know the fellowship of Christ's sufferings and the power of Christ's resurrection. Do not be harsh with any man who differs from you; say in your hearts, the Judge of the whole earth cannot but do right. – Bible Echo.

Rating: NNNN
There are bits of this album that resemble Walter Carlos's Symphonic Seasoning, one of electronica's earliest ambioscapes. But Alpha isn't that old-school. And their musical directions aren't that narrow. Changeability seems to be the action word for this album, with each track finding a fresh place to sit. The biggest surprise is that, however thinly, it holds together. In some very real sense, Stargazing is a jumbled medley compiled from the entire spectrum of the UK's popular culture. It's part Kylie, part Shirley Bassey, part Morcheeba and part Granada Television broadcast, all basking in the rays of Future Sound of London's sweeping techo wizardry and Coldplay's emo-pop sensibilities. It's confusing to label but frictionless to slip into.

Not many people outside of the fields of politics and broadcast advertising know this dirty little secret, but it's a federal law that political candidates are entitled to buy airtime at the lowest unit rate. Every station has a political rate card that itemizes the lowest rate for each time period, and that's what the candidates and political action committees pay. What about regular advertisers, who advertise twelve months out of the year, every year for many years? They pay more, and their schedules are preempted to make time for political spots that cost less. This hurts local businesses that depend on advertising to drive traffic into their stores. Negative political advertising is a runaway train that is increasing voter apathy and is detrimental to loyal local advertisers. The only winners here are the broadcast stations who are raking in the millions of dollars in airtime, but not necessarily the stations' sales reps whose livelihoods depend on having airtime inventory to sell to local advertisers.

New Delhi/ Jaipur, Oct 31 (ANI): Wives across India broke their Karva Chauth fast, a Hindu festival, after sighting moon and offered prayers in all hope that their husbands will have a long life. Karva Chauth is a centuries-old tradition, where married Indian women fast for the day to pray for their spouse's good health and success. They wake up before dawn to begin a fast at sunrise, and not eat or drink until she sees the moon through a sieve at night. Women dressed up in colourful attires, wore bangles, vermilion, heena, anklet and other ornaments which symbolised that they are married and celebrated the auspicious occasion with fervor. Just as the moon was visible, women in New Delhi performed rituals. Women in Rajasthan also celebrated the festival enthusiastically and performed rituals for the long life of their husbands. Karva Chauth, falls few days before the Hindu festival of lights or Diwali considered auspicious for the married women.

This question has a time and place.
Time: when you've had enough of your life as is. When you're debunking the plane you've been on and are boarding a new one.
Place. When you at a cross road. The moment of truth. After you've had enough and are contemplating to change directions, this is where you choose what direction to take. Remain on the same course, or take a new one.
You are an average of the five people you hang around with. Your circle speaks volumes of who you are and where your future is headed… If you keep following the same route. Those in your circle are attached to you because of your priorities. When you keep on the same path, you keep the circle alive, and it grows stronger.
When it decide you've had enough, when you choose a different path, your circle starts changing. Some stay on. Those who equally want to change course with you will stick around. It's natural, but that doesn't mean that it's not painful.
You are the average of the five people you hang around most. Look around you, you will learn more about your self. If you don't like it, change your circle, but if you do, stick there, like glue.

Who cares what Ma thinks
The FSA's Money Advice Service, which is paid for by the industry, has hardly had the best press over the last year.
The organisation is currently the subject of a Treasury sub-committee inquirywhich will consider its effectiveness, whether it should be funded by the financial services industry and the salaries of senior staff.
The MAS plans to spend £19m of its £46.3m budget in 2012/13 on marketing and brand awareness. Last week, Citizens Advice chief executive Gillian Guy criticised its "colossal" marketingspend.
What better way to ingratiate yourself with the industry that funds you than a six-week marketing campaignon television, in print and online with the risible tagline, What Does Ma Think?
But bizarrely MAS seems to think people will love the adverts so much it's even included a behind the scenes video on Youtube for "fans" to look at titled 'Behind the Scenes of the Everyday budgeting TV Ad'. With only 17 views at time of writing, it's difficult to see what the point of it actually is – just like MAS in general!
The fastest man in Essex
Interviewing Brightstar Financial's managing director Rob Jupp for an upcoming issue of Mortgage Strategy in the firm's offices in Brentwood, Essex last week, Mole's eye was caught by Usain Bolt's shoe that was hanging on the company's wall (see this week's caption pic). Jupp told Mole he woke up with it after a charity auction that was held just before the Olympics, when all the reports were that Bolt would have an underwhelming games. While he wouldn't tell Mole how much it cost him, with Bolt proving he's still the fastest man on the planet, the value of it has certainly shot up. But what Mole really wants to know is whether three-time marathon runner Jupp will wear it for good luck on his next sporting attempt?

Mrs. Buhari's Dress: Memo to moral Sheriffs by Jaafar Jaafar
Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari who is currently in the U.S for some official engagement, arrived the airport on Wednesday donning a long sleeve suit over an ankle-length skirt which some Muslims online described as "un-Islamic and 'indecent'. Below is Nigerian journalist, Jaafar Jaafar's thoughts on the issue.
The fundamentalists would argue that Nigerians are dumping their culture for Western culture, but they forget that even the kaftan, the kufta, the flowing gown we use were not originally Hausa dress. We borrowed them from the Magreb. The kufta President Buhari spots on world stage is Morrocan dress. I do not want to delve into culture issue because recent history has shown that Africans first promoted nudity by using skimpy grass skirts before Westerners modernised it into fabric. There is still a tribe in Adamawa State that maintain this culture.
The hypocrisy of Nigerians is always unusual. Don't be surprised to find fornicators, paedophiles, drunkards, lesbos, fags, pimps and voyeurs among the tribe of social media moralists haggling over the appearance of the Nigerian first lady. Of course some may be morally upright. But may I put this zinger to the closet sinners: how would you climb atop mountains of your sins to gratify your voyeuristic instinct and then come out to preach morality? Thou shalt heal thyself first!
Dr Muhammad 'Abd Rahaman Al'Arifi wrote in his book, Enjoy Your Life, that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for giving excuses to those who habitually err and thinking good of those who sin. Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported a Hadith in which the Prophet asked his disciples not to abuse or curse a habitual alcohol drinker. Now take the case of Aisha Buhari's dress that precipitated all manner of abuse. Drinking alcohol is kaba'ir, while wearing English dress is NOT. Let me also remind them that speaking of evil is bigger sin than wearing English dress! Doesn't this clearly show the fanatics have derailed from the Prophet's teaching?
My brother, Aliyu Nuhu, puts it aptly when he wrote of Mrs Buhari's appearance: "Anyone used to long haul trip of 13 hours will not wear traditional dress. Aisha dressed simple and smart. After rest she dressed in her usual native dress." But even if she did not change to "native", I see nothing wrong in that.
While there are so many glaring failures of Buhari administration that should spark riot or public outrage, the social media fundamentalists rather went riotous because of simple English dress that is neither g-string nor see-through gown. Prices of fuel was increased recently. They celebrated. Children of the rich were given automatic employment into choice agencies. They defended the action. Naira is crashing daily. They are mute. The First Lady wears English dress. There is rage.
To me, let the First Lady appear in micro-mini skirt if microeconomy of the nation will improve or inflation rate will reduce or naira will gain value.
During presidential campaign, we shouted ourselves hoarse giving the president a national outlook, erasing the stereotype that the president was a religious bigot and ethnic champion in order to make him both acceptable and electable to all Nigerians.

Brian Deneke
Here is the story to those who haven't heard it:
Born in 1978 at the height of the British punk movement, Brian Deneke at least looked like what could be generalized as punk. He was only one of a small faction that carried on the style.
At around 11:30 on the night of December 12th, 1997, in Amarillo, Texas, Brian Deneke was killed in the parking lot of a shopping center by Dustin Camp. At the time, Camp was a seventeen year old junior varsity football player driving a 1983 Cadillac.
A timeline of the events leading up to Brian's death were pure high school rivalry gone very, very wrong. The two groups, the punk kids and the kids locally referred to as 'whitehats'(because they wore white caps with college football team logos on them,) were fighting because they looked and acted different from one another.
There are two different accounts of what would later turn into a homicide. Chris Oles, a friend of Deneke's, says the 'jock' group was taunting him while he and others were at a local hangout, an International House of Pancakes.
Justin Devore claims that Oles was turning up the heat by lifting up his shirt to show a knife handle. Oles denies this.
The argument became nastier when two boys who did not know each other - Dustin Camp and John King - got into a shoving match. Oles tried to step in, grabbing King in a headlock while Camp hurried out the door.
Outside, both boys gathered up friends to back them up. King apparently said something to Camp - we do not know what - and then smashed one of his car windows with a police baton.
Rumors of planned brawl between the 'punks' and the 'whitehats' drifted around for the next several days, coming to fruition a week later. On Friday, December twelfth, Elise Thompson, then 16, was hanging around town with a friend, Rob Mansfield. Sometime during the night, she and Mansfield ended up with Dustin Camp, aimlessly looking for something to do.
At around eleven that evening, kids from both groups found their way to the IHOP, some hoping to see a fight, some hoping to break up the monotony of a Friday night in Amarillo.
Elise Thompson would later say, "...fights never materialized. One side would show up, and everyone gathered in the parking lot, and you got to see all of your friends. It was just a big, fun social event, and that's what I thought was gonna happen."
A witness to the murder and a friend of Deneke's, Jacqui Balderaz, remembers, "We were all drinking and stuff, and it was kind of stupid to go up there." (Deneke's autopsy would discover a .18 blood alcohol level.)
Thompson went inside the IHOP to visit with friends, and some time later, Mansfield came in and told her they had to leave. In the parking lot, the arguing had begun. Within minutes it moved across the street to a shopping center. That is where things began to get ugly.
Camp, instead of driving away with Thompson and Mansfield, followed the fight to the shopping center. From there, the story splits.
Chris Oles, John King, Jason Deneke, (Brian's brother,) and Jacqui Balderaz say they saw Brian curled in the fetal position, while the 'whitehats' kicked and beat him.
The other side says that there was someone on the ground...but it was not Brian Deneke.
Thompson called the scene, "...crazy. I mean, I'd never seen anything like that. To me, it just looked like this mass confusion of people, just running after each other, hitting each other with sticks and chains and bats...Then Rob [Mansfield] says, "Oh, my gosh, look at Andrew [McCulloch, a friend of Mansfield's]."
According to Elise, Rob went to get out of the car, but Camp slammed on the gas, taking off. He slammed the Cadillac into Chris Oles, who shook it off and seemed unhurt.
Then, Thompson says, Camp turned the car around and headed back into the crowd. There was the thud of Deneke's body striking metal, and Thompson saw him disappear beneath the car.
There were no skid marks, or any other signs, that Camp had tried to stop the car.
As a parting shot, witnesses remember Camp saying, "I'll bet he liked that."
Deneke's girlfriend, Jennifer Hix, told a reporter what she saw the night of the murder. "I remember after he was hit, there was a cheer. We ran to him as soon as he went down. He was trying to talk, but there was too much blood coming out of his mouth. Jason put his arms around him and held him while he died."
Chris Oles also remembers the cheer. Hix recalls, "All these Christian people were, like, saying prayers, and I said, man, he's fucking dead. He's dead, he's dead, he's dead."
Brian was lying in the snow, wrapped in his brother's arms and surrounded by his friends, when he died. Photographs of the crime scene show him on his side, his arms twisted. His front teeth are broken, the left side of his face gashed. His left shoulder has been torn from its socket. An autopsy showed that Deneke's skull, spine, pelvis, and ribs had been completely crushed.
His mother, Betty Deneke, was hanging up Christmas decorations when Jason called, in tears. She arrived at the Western Plaza shopping center to see her nineteen year old son covered by a sheet of plastic, blood staining the snow where he lay.
In the meantime, Dustin Camp had dropped Mansfield and Thompson off at their homes. The two woke their parents and poured out the story of Deneke's death. Rob Mansfield and Elisa Thompson were taken to the police department and gave statements.
Dustin Camp also went home and told his parents what had happened. They simply told him to go to bed...it would be taken care of in the morning.
The Amarillo Police Department beat the Camps to the punch. He was arrested early the next morning. A search warrant executed on the Cadillace revealed Brian Deneke's blood, splashed on the undercarriage.
Dustin Camp was charged with murder.
During the trial, witnesses held up the clothes Brian had been wearing, as if to prove he deserved to die because of his appearance, and vouched for Dustin Camp's integrity...describing him as a 'good kid'. Defense attorneys called Deneke and his friends goons, sociopaths, and thugs. He repeatedly stressed how all-American and 'normal' the defendant was.
The tactic of dehumanizing and humiliating the victim worked. The jury convicted Camp of manslaughter. He was sentenced to ten years' probation and a ten thousand dollar fine, also probated. Dustin Camp would never have to pay a dime for killing Brian Deneke.
Mike Deneke, Brian's father, says his son often dealt with discrimination. "He took a lot of verbal and physical abuse from people. We tried to explain to him that if you dress that way, have your hair that way, people are going to act negatively toward you, and that's just the way it is.
"And he said it's not right, they shouldn't. And he's right, they shouldn't. But they do."
In June of 2000, a jury awarded the Deneke family
twenty thousand dollars in a wrongful death suit against Dustin Camp.
Camp remains free on probation.
Sad and pointless... I think that Dustin Camp was finally arrested for breaking probation. I'd have to look into that though.
Jeffrey Weise was definatly a troubled individual. I can't imagine why anyone would commit such a horrible act. Maybe I should be thinking of Columbine instead of Deneke and Camp. But the situation at IHOP parking lot off of Weastern just sticks out in my mind. It was both close to home, and it showed the "good" kid commiting the crime.
I'm sure I had more to write about this in the beginning, but it seems that several computers have decided to crash at once in the damned lab. I am no computer expert, and the only person working here today!
I'll try to write more on this later after I've finished dealing with this chaos:)

That sucks cause I knew Brian(the guy killed) Yeah, "the good kid" often gets off for crimes they commit.

I think that Deneke and Camp, Columbine, and this recent shooting should really show that there is a problem with how we treat our young.
I went to public school in middle school, and I remember it being a horrible experience... until I met Jess. Anyway, I was a loner that people tryed to "save". I didn't need to be saved! I came from a small town to a city... my thick east Texas accent didn't make me popular.
All I wanted was not to be made fun of and some people to hang out with. The school was so packed, and everyone already had developed their groups... the adults seemed to incourage them as well!
Ahh... but then a few years later I was a Catholic school lead cheerleader. Isn't life funny:)

Dustin Camp should have gotten life without the possibility of parole! But leave it to Texas to let a person get away with murder because they come from "a good Christian family ".like the fact that Dustin Camp being Christian gave him a right to play God!
- Savanah Dahlsten said...
Dustin Camp broke parole served 8 years for violating parole was set free in 2006. The family should have gotten more than 20,000 dollars for wrongful death. Dustin Camp shouldn't be alive. Let alone free. Everyones life matters no matter what. Dustin Camp should be behind bars.

Haunted Mansion
Haunted Mansion (Slave Labor Graphics)
When I first heard about this project I was beside myself with joy (I have been accused of being an obsessed Disneyland Haunted Mansion fan and I don't deny it). My immediate elation, however, was soon tempered by doubt – how many new and interesting stories can anyone possibly tell about the Haunted Mansion? And since it's a Disney licensed product, I assumed it would be sanitized and Mickey-ized.
It's so good to be wrong sometimes. Haunted Mansion showcases amazing creativity and talent and is thoroughly entertaining. From sweet stories about puppies and children to the ongoing tale of Master Gracy (piracy, villainy, and treachery!), there's something for everyone here and it's all good. It's quite fascinating to see one subject through so many different lenses. My personal favorites are: Jon "Bean" Hastings' tale of the treacherous architects who built the Mansion; Roman Dirge's comedy sketches in the pet cemetery starring Fifi, the smart-aleck poodle; Christopher's new verse to Grim Grinning Ghosts; and Serena Valentino's The Woman in Black, a ghost story with a happy ending. And, of course, if you're a Haunted Mansion fan at all, there are tributes and references galore.
I wouldn't call Haunted Mansion all-ages – it's a shade dark for little ones. If your kids are old enough to really like the ride they'll probably like the comics. As far as classrooms or libraries, it would be fine for upper elementary, but you should know that Fifi does like to say, "crap."
Shelby says: Haunted Mansion is basically a bunch of stories that happen at the Haunted Mansion. There are stories about a bad language dog, a kid who accidentally reunites a boy and his mother who didn't see each other for about 5 years, Madame Leota doesn't know she's dead, and many other WACKY stories. My favorite one is when a new ghost comes to the mansion and the whole time he is followed by the voice in the ride at Disneyland. He's very scared at first but then fits right in. I love Eric Jones' art (He does Little Gloomy and Super Scary Monster Show with Landry Walker).
Sarah says: Haunted Mansion is a series of stories by different writers and different artists. Basically they're all about Gracie Mansion, aka The Haunted Mansion. I have two favorite stories. One is about Fifi the Ghost Dog and the other is new words to the song Grim Grinning Ghosts and it tells why the caretaker goes to the graveyard every night. The Fifi story has three sort of bad words, so it's probably better for children that know those words are not okay to say. I like the way the artists put every single detail in their pictures of the real Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. I like the ride and I don't close my eyes anymore!
