British High Com...injured in bomb blast
British High Comissioner in BD Anwar Choudhury has been injured in a bomb blast in Sylhet...He went to the Shahjalal Mazaar to pray and on his way bac to his car a bomb exploded and he with some other ppl got injured....One person has died.......Some say that the goverment has something to do with this bomb blast and also the Islamic extremists are also in part of this blasting thing...this is the 2nd time I think this kind of bombing happened in Shajalal Majar....this shrine is a pure place....people go there for their well beings and all
I am not making any assumptions of who are actually behind this terrible thing....let's just pray that the High Commissioner gets well...This is the first time that a High Comissioner has been attacked like this...
I just want to say that if this terrorism continues, we'll be considered a parmanent terrorist state and ppl of
other countries will make fun of us...

hmmm Apu
It is being said that one of the bangladeshi political party is behind all this evil doing-they are just aiming at holy shrines-recently they had added poison to the lake at the holy shrine of SHAH MUSTAFA (R.A.)
(Which is situated in my home town Moulvi Bazar)where all the holy fish-gojar mach have all been killed.
I am sure these people wont go very far-they really dont have the slightest clue what they have set their hands on!

Ok, so I was searching for a clip of the "Cookie Time" song from Troop Beverly Hills and I came across this–seesh talk about a gold mine!!!! High School Musical 2 + Girl Scout Cookies + Little Girls being Fabulous!!!! I almost twisted my ankle at the sudden movement of awesomeness into my life.
I had this weird feeling that one of those little girls was me in another world and our world had just picked up the youtube feed. Because yes, I totally used to re-lyricize famous songs and make up dances to them. One of the best? Me and my friend Whitney used to sing "I love bread, always forever, near and far, push it together, then you've got a peanut butter sandwich" you know the tune. I really liked that song. both the original and my version. and peanut butter sandwiches. sometimes I put bacon on my peanut butter sandwiches. but that is for another post. so is the Troop Beverly Hills clip. me write short fragments.

Anyway, there were some good parts, as always. My minute-by-minute thoughts, laid bare:
* I'm weird, but when Isaac used to get white-eyed, I found that to be rather hot. White-eyed Sylar makes me go ick though. I do so loathe him.
* Confused: how can Sylar see Molly thinking about him? Does it happen when he's white-eyed? But he's not in that trance all the time. Can someone remind me which power Sylar stole to facilitate watching Molly like he's the eye of Sauron from LORD OF THE RINGS or something?
* Dang--just when we thought we'd seen the last of Simone here she is again! It's a good scene between her and Peter though.
* Simone's pop is revealed to be yet another orchestrating Old Hero, as well. I'm slightly curious to see some of these oldsters' powers during the "extra" HEROES spin off episodes. I hope they won't be overkill for me though--I'm actually fine with the series ending right now for a hiatus because I need a mental break, LOL.
* Yeesh, Ando. I admire your spunk but... Yes--go, Hiro!!! Hah! Eat that, Sylar. (I just hate when he purses his lips, don't you? Jeez, this actor is good.)
* I wonder when we'll get a more detailed explanation about Niki/Jessica. Is it a case of possession? A semi-Hulk syndrome? I'd like to know, please. (Not that it matters right now as Jessica lays Mystique out.)
* I love how Claire (and other heroes) are really starting to make smart use of their powers. Claire was clever with that 20-story-splat escape.
* Ooooo--Hiro is kind of using that lower, more Future Hiro-like voice as he drops off Ando. Bring on Future Hiro!
* LOL for "Hiro, you look bad ass." Cute geek-boy love moment.
* Noah! Hmmm, I don't think I'll ever be able to abandon the whole "HRG" thing. "Noah" is noble but it doesn't seem to fit him for me. Maybe I'll get used to it.
* Whoo! Heroes messing with Sylar together as a team! But then...pffft. It all dissipates when Peter gets a tad too excited. Bummer.
* Still, why do I not believe Sylar is dead?
* And...oh, man. No. Tell me it didn't just end like this. Please...someone?
So--any predictions for season 2? After Hiro finishes screwing around with his detour to olde Japan, will he go back in time to save Peter and Nathan while risking the resurrection of Sylar (or did he learn that lesson from trying to save Charlie)?
What do you all think?

/27 July 2017
Henry Yee turns 69 this year. His father founded an automobile parts workshop in the 1950s. In 1965, a teenage Yee dropped out of school to lend a hand to the business. Back then, the automobile after-sales market was booming. Car craftsmen like Yee and family were kept busy.
In the 1960s, British cars like Morris Motors and Austin were all the rage. Later in the eighties came the Japanese – Toyota and Nissan. As the trends ebbed and flowed, Yee continually acquired new auto parts from these brands. Till date, he still has these nuggets of time kept in rusted biscuit tins.
In a landmark shift for the automobile industry, the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) was introduced in 1990 "to control the number of cars on the island". When the 10 years long entitlement expires, car owners are often encouraged to scrap their vehicles for newer models. Yee's business took a major blow, as cars are seldom stretched to longevity, and are scrapped before they start wearing out. For the past two decades since, Yee's business dwindled as the demand for automobile repair nosedived.
For over 60 years, the workshop stood on Jalan Besar Road. While the hackneyed shutters still open and draw every working day and night, Yee knows he will soon close them for them for good.
A petering demand aside, there's an even bigger problem for Yee. There's no successor. It's a conundrum – while he took over the business from his father, Yee is unwilling to hand it down to his children. The same goes for the wider crafts community of Jalan Besar – carpenters Wayman Enterprise, automobile dealers Chip Lian Autoparts, marine hardware traders Seng Hoe Co., and ship repair company Kwong Soon Engineering Co.. Out of them all, only one firm has appointed a successor.
A mini documentary accompanies the launch of 'The Machinist', a book highlighting the dwindling of handicraft trades in the Jalan Besar district.
When three design and arts lecturers at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts caught wind of this urgent predicament, they launched into a two-year-long documentary. Artist Xin Xiaochang, jewellery designer Yuki Mitsuyasu, and industrial designer Wendy Chua repeatedly spent days at Yee's workshop.
"Many of these craftsmen do not want their children to follow in their footsteps... They would rather their children be more highly educated and find a job in the comforts of an air-conditioned office," Chua explains.
The dearth of the automobile repair industry weighs heavy in the hearts of the three designers. They believe in the gravity of arts and crafts in any society. "From a design educator's point of view, there are fewer makers that design students can collaborate with," Chua adds.
The phenomenon also makes handwork increasingly irrelevant in popular culture. What it signifies is perhaps not merely the displacement of an industrialised workforce in favour of a white-collar workforce. It is pointing to an upcoming generation of Singaporeans unaware and unexposed to arts and crafts.
That being said, Chua clarifies that she is not merely referring to the trendy "DIY craft workshops". Those one-off hobbies "cannot be compared to these old artisans who have dedicated their entire lives to mastering a skill."
Yee does not explicitly express his intentions to retire, but to the trio it's clear. Yee will soon close his workshop in a few years' time. "As in most gentrified neighbourhoods, the shophouse would be cleared out when new tenants move in." While Yee's future seems uncertain, the three co-authors have urgently preserved this slice of cultural history.
Their two-year-long documentary has been surmised into a book titled 'The Machinist'. It pivots around the trade of Henry Yee, and later explores the stories of neighbouring automobile craftsmen. "At the heart of it, this book looks towards the future, questioning the relevance of craft in an Industry 4.0 and a world dominated by [Artificial Intelligence] and robots." Chua considers, "What do we delegate to technology and what do we hold back?"
'The Machinist' is available on themachinist.sg, and at Yee's workshop, Hup Yick Engineering Works, 84 Horne Road at S$45.

In this time of anxious need, the call goes out. The order is placed, the machinery is fired up and the new printings of standard editions are readied for sale and re-sale. The product, this time, is Marx's Das Kapital. Perhaps it is produced offshore, waiting to be brought back "home" to be distributed with magnificent speed and displayed in bookstore windows for buyers desperate for a way of understanding what is not being adequately explored.
However it comes to be, and come to be owned, it is in many more hands today, talismanic in its thin binding, promising the promise of answers and explanations; a way of knowing what is so frightful.
What trickle of pleasure will a weary train traveler feel when, at the end of a tiring day, the eye impatient with Marx's grueling care and seemingly infinite patience, finds a footnote citing Luther, who writes, "Whoever eats up, robs, steals the nourishment of another, that man commits as great a murder (so far as in him lies) as he who starves a man or utterly undoes him. Such does a usurer, and sits while safe on his tool, when he ought to rather be hanging on the gallows, and be eaten by as many ravens could stick their beaks in and share it. Meanwhile, we hang the small thieves . . . "?
What memory of the Hugo Boss suits and well-shined shoes seen that day will creep in when he finds that Marx writes, "The progress of capitalist production not only creates a world of delights; it lays open, in speculation and the credit system, a thousand sources of sudden enrichment. When a certain stage of development has been reached, a conventional degree of prodigality, which is also the exhibition of wealth, and consequently a source of credit, becomes a business necessity. . . " ? Or, "Public credit becomes the credo of capital. And with the rise of national debt-making, want of faith in the national debt takes the place of the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which may not be forgiven"?
But just as Benjamin refused an easy reduction of the Paris arcades, those enclosed "worlds of delight," the grasping for answers that come too quick are to be refused. The formulations that might allow one, raven-like, to stick their beak in and pluck out a pronouncing judgment, will always give only false pleasure. They are only avoidance of the shock that rattles the body. The temptation is to look for small symptoms in the normalcy, and seeing both at once, find assurance. If so many continue to take the train to work, to walk the same path, day after day, no matter what the newspapers say, then surely it is a matter of just waiting for whatever it is we claim to know is happening, to have happened; like a hurricane that eventually turns to mere rain over land.
A few years back, Alan Greenspan rejected the very idea that there was a brewing crisis because of the play of credit, which metastasized in housing. He referred, then, to the not very uncommon phenomenon of "irrational exuberance." In other words, to a very simple condition. No cause for alarm. This is as helpful as saying that markets run on fear and greed. And it recalls a fragment from Horkheimer's Dawn and Decline:
As one walks through an insane asylum, the horrible impression the sight of the raving mad makes on the layman is allayed by the matter-of-fact statement of the physician that the patient is in a state of excitation. Being subsumed under a specific scientific category, the terror at the phenomenon is presented as somehow out of place. "It's just a state of excitation." There are people who will not be disturbed about the existence of evil because they have a theory that accounts for it. Here I am also thinking of Marxists who, in the face of wretchedness, quickly proceed to show why it exists. Even comprehension can be too quick.

I'm making some special cosmetic bags for the Buffalo store out of cotton. The construction is very similar to the Asian silk cosmetic bags with just a few added steps. When I'm done, I'll have about 30 bags total in 13 different prints.
I start with some Warm&Natural batting. I bond Heat & Bond Vinyl to one side in large sheets. On the other side, I bond Heat & Bond adhesive in large sheets. I do this until I have a piece of Warm & Natural that is about 36" wide by 90" long, covered in vinyl on one side, and glue on the other. I then cut that into 36" by 6 or 7" strips.
I then select the fabrics that I'm going to make cosmetic bags out of. I cut 6" and 7" strips of each fabric by 45" wide. I peel off the glue paper backing off of one of the strips and then iron onto the glue side of the batting, one of my fabric selections. I then cut that finished strip of bonded materals into 6" x 8" rectangles, which will make the small size cosmetic bag, or 7" x 9" rectangles which will make the larger size bag. Once I have all my pieces bonded and cut out, I use my serger to overlock the edges.
Here are my completed stacks of overlocked pieces.
Next step is to pin the pieces together and sew a 5/8 inch seam using a basting stitch along the top edge. This is were the zipper will be sewn in. As you can see, I use binder clips to hold the pieces together when I sew. This means I don't have to puncture the vinyl with a straight pin.
The next step is pressing open the seams, gluing in the zipper and putting in a limited edition label on the inside of the bag. I glue in my zippers because it just makes the process go a lot faster.
Once the zipper and label are glued in, I choose a matching thread for the fabric and sew in the zipper.
I then pull out the basting stitch, fold the right sides together and binder clip the pieces again. I then sew the bag together.
Once the bag is sewn together, I clip all the corner edges and turn the bag right side out. Here is a photo of the cosmetic bags in various stages.
It will be a while before I'm finished. I am also making at the same time, some place mats and matching napkin sets out of some of these fabrics, and we are working on building some platforms on our roof so that Mr. Sprocket can work on our HVAC unit easier. Later this evening, I'll put up some more photos of that project.

Just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I appreciate all that you report on. I like to look at both your court & sewing sites. You
Truly seem to be a very organized lady. And, that's a good thing.
Could you send me detailed instructions on how to do that??
Of course I'm just joking. No one can help another person to become organized.
I'm just waiting for your reporting on Spector #2. Even though in my mind I can't believe there is going to be a Spector #2.

[from Goatfoot, Milktongue, Twinbird by Donald Hall]
A poem is one inside talking to another inside. . . .
Lyric poetry, typically, has one goal and one message, which is to urge the condition of inwardness, the inside from which its own structure derives. . . .
the old distinction between vates and poiein. The poiein, from the Greek verb for making or doing, becomes the poet—the master of craft, the maker of the labyrinth of epic or tragedy or lyric hymn, tale-teller and spell-binder. The vates is bound in a spell. He is the rhapsode Socrates patronizes in Ion. In his purest form he utters what he does not understand at all . . . He is the visionary, divinely inspired . . .
There is no poiein for the same reason there is no vates . . . the distinction becomes trivial when we discover the psychic origins of poetic form . . .
Yeats said that the finished poem made a sound like the click of the lid on a perfectly made box. . . . the poet improvises toward that click . . . pleasure in resolution is Twinbird. . . . a poem . . . exists as a sensual body . . . reaches us through our mouths . . . and in the muscles of our legs . . . These pleasures are Milktongue and Goatfoot . . .
From the earliest times, poetry has existed in order to retrieve, to find again, and to release. In the poet who writes the poem, in the reader who lives it again, in the ideas, the wit, the images, the doctrines, the exhortations, the laments and the cries of joy, the lost forest struggles to be born again inside the word. The life of urge and instinct, that rages and coos, kicks and frolics, as it chooses only without choosing—this life is the life the poem grows from, and reconstitutes.

Peregrine and MagnaChip began the final qualification phase of the technology transfer in July 2008 and released it to production 8 weeks ago. The 10-month qualification cycle of UltraCMOS technology is exceptionally short due to its standard CMOS foundation.
"We always understood that the value of UltraCMOS to the RF industry would be its unique ability to manufacture products with the highest RF performance possible, and ensure swift portability from fab to fab because of its industry-standard CMOS foundation," stated Jim Cable, CEO of Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. "With MagnaChip as a fully qualified and deployed manufacturing resource, our customers continue to be assured of the supply and availability of Peregrine's products and technology," he concluded.
The two teams worked diligently to ensure a smooth final qualification, including the completion of a 500 hour reliability test which delivered zero failures. "The initial production lot has been processed through the fab in record time and is used for customer samples," stated Chandra Kantamneni, Vice President of Foundry Operations at Peregrine Semiconductor. "Customer qualification audits are underway for MagnaChip's Cheongju facility and are eagerly anticipating the first deliveries from this additional source," he added.
Channy Lee, Executive Vice President and General Manager of MagnaChip's Semiconductor Manufacturing Services, commented, "MagnaChip's manufacturing services are targeted to customers who require differentiated, specialty analog and mixed-signal process technologies serving high-growth markets. With its revolutionary UltraCMOS SOS technology and high-performance RFIC products, Peregrine exemplifies this type of customer. MagnaChip's reliable manufacturing expertise combined with our customers' design capabilities will continuously allow us to provide robust and cost-competitive manufacturing solutions to our customers."

sail into the world of women,
in a magnificent ship that does not interest them.
I imagine this is what loving them is:
adding up the piecework of them,
the pale neck, the sudden crow's feet,
the explosive lips saying of course of course.
I have learned their language, I can say
what do you think? like a native,
but they detect an accent in spite of me.
Their eyes rest on me over the wine.
Their secrets are palpable as money.
We trade, and I grow rich. I feel free.
We compare songs, the cuts on our wrists.
Sometimes I think I have found my home.
When I hold them, I hear their bones crying.
Their costly hair drifts and shines.

I delivered both of my boys sans epidural. You would think this would top the list of life's most painful events. I have, however, found something that beats "natural childbirth" hands down; seeing your child hurt, truly sad, etc.
A few weeks ago at VBS my older son had a bully in his group. A bully at VBS - of all places!! He spent the first day making sure everyone knew he was the top dog. He did this through little mean comments, and when it came to my son, it was a punch in the stomach while standing in line at the water fountain. I thank God my mom was his group leader. She saw the entire thing (I would have had a hard time believing my son received an unprovoked knock in the belly) and was able to comfort poor David. He cried and his feelings were so hurt. My mom shared the story with me and I was sad, mad, and disappointed. I'm still trying to protect my kids from the ways of the world so to speak. It just plain sucks to have to explain "There are just some people in this world who are like that!"
After VBS on Monday of this week, I knew something was wrong as soon as I picked up my oldest. The teacher told me "David tells me today is his last day!" As I was trying to figure this out I glanced around the corner and saw my son red faced and brushing away tears. We went to the car and he was crying and mumbling the whole way "I don't ever want to come back". Someone had stepped on his fingers during a game of freeze tag, and he was embarrassed because it hurt, sad because his feelings had been hurt, and worried that this would happen again.
As I sat there wiping his tears away, I tired to explain the whole "facts of life" - not everyone is nice, accidents happen, etc. Inside I was crying as I was wiping away my son's tears. My mom had to chuckle somewhat because, as she puts it, it only gets harder as they get older.
She shared the story about our move from California to Virginia. My youngest sister was in third grade, and did not do well with the transition. On the first day of school, she asked the teacher "What direction is California?" She then climbed to the top of the playset, sat facing towards the direction of California, and began to look for her friends. This is how my mom would find her at the end of school for weeks, just sitting, staring, and longing for a familiar face to appear. Ouch.
As a parent, you so want your kids to be happy and accepted. You want them to always have fun, and to be treated in a fair and loving manner. What's the best thing to do when this doesn't happen? How can you keep upbeat and positive while you are crying and hurting on the inside? I'd love to know . . .

Aww, poor guy! And of all places.
We all think we've met pain, until we become a parent w/ our hearts walking outside our body, right?

I have yet to experience what you have as my boys are still so young, but they are growing up fast. I have experienced enough heartache as a mom, tho, and it is not easy. I think sometimes the only way I get through tough times like that is to not give up, not talk negatively, and learn from it!

Early humans also have a family conflict, when the beloved daughter chose a man who is not commensurate with the view of the father. What's the storyline? Get ready for THE CROODS, the work of Dreamworks. Visit http://www.juaramovie.com to watch this animated film.
This film raises the story of a family of cavemen who have to survive in a new world that is constantly changing under their feet. The depiction of the movie is very good. The animated film's voice is Nicholas Cage as Grug, the hero of Croods, with his daughter (Emma Stone) growing up and falling in love with Guy (Ryan Reynolds).
Guy is portrayed as a more advanced figure evolved and poses a threat of change for the stubborn Grug. It does not tell the story of a meteor or lava or mammoth falling into a crack in the earth. It's a story about her daughter who turns in front of her and lives with someone she thinks is worth it.

In an interview, the hiring manager is often looking for a reason NOT to hire you. Instead of looking for positives, the truth of the matter is that most interviewers take a negative approach to the screening process. Therefore, your goal in an interview is to ensure that you do not provide them a reason to say no to you.
However, one of the questions we are often asked is "What are your weaknesses?" If we are trying to avoid providing negatives about ourselves, it is difficult to properly answer this question. In the past we were told we should bring up a negative that really is not so bad. For example "I am such a perfectionist that I go above and beyond in everything I do." However, this answer does not seem sincere and is not the approach I recommend in today's market.
My rule of thumb when interviewing is that whenever you have to bring up a negative, state the negative and cover it up with a positive statement. The best approach to answering this particular interview question is to define a weakness that you have learned to overcome. Here is an example of how you can effectively answer this question.
"I am not very good at saying no and in the past I have taken on more than I can handle. This led to me missing deadlines or producing work that was not my best quality. I learned to overcome this weakness in several ways. First, I have learned to delegate and am a much better team player. I have also learned to manage my time, organize my daily tasks, and prioritize my day much better. I make a list for the next day at the end of each work day and review it first thing in the morning in order to better plan my daily priorities. Learning to deal with this weakness has led me to be a better time manager and to realize that I am not superwoman who has to say yes to every request myself."
With this strategy you demonstrate that you are self-aware and that you are willing to admit that you are not perfect. However, you are also able to show your ability to solve problems and overcome obstacles. So, what weakness have you learned to overcome in

Virginity and Whiny Males
Virginity is an instrument of female oppression. That is all it is, all it has been, and all it ever will be. It has been used to restrict women in all of the ways that have been parsed in feminist discourse, of course. But it remains a tool of female oppression even when males use the term to refer to themselves. As with all tools of female oppression, virginity cannot be re-purposed toward any sort of "egalitarianism."
When males use the term self-referentially (as in, "that woman took my virginity when I was a boy"), it has the effect of shoring up male supremacy. It erases the physical differences between females and males and casts as unimportant the actual invasion of female bodies, the tearing of female flesh, the physiological colonization of femaleness by males, in order to create the illusion of similarity where there is none. The erasure of this distinction allows males to divert attention away from systematic male violation of the integrity of the female body, especially the very young, physically immature female body (the rape act itself, as well as any resultant pregnancy or disease) toward the rare and corporeally noninvasive exploitation of boys by adult women. These two occurrences are not the same, neither in effect nor in frequency, which should go without saying.
I say all that to say that I don't care about little boys being sexually stimulated by women. It's not rape. It's not supported by the dominant power structure, which does support overtly and explicitly the rape of girls and women. And besides that, women are not, by far, the primary perpetrators of sexual assault of any kind against male children. So, I can't be concerned about women "taking the virginity" of little boys, especially when such males have nothing to say about the preponderance of girls being raped, and they never use the concept of virginity when referring to forcible sodomy of boys by adult males.

As you may have already noticed, the website looks a little different. There are a few reason for this, which will be discussed here for those that wish to know.
- First and foremost, we exist to glorify God in all that we do, and that includes maintaining a website that is seamless and without major issues. We want our website to be easy to use. This new website has a cleaner, more efficient layout. We believe this is very important for people when they're seeking information about a local church to start attending.
- CloverSites 3, the name officially given to the new layout, actually offers a more seamless integration of our website across multiple browsers. People have their own preferences when it comes to what browsers they use, and CloverSites 3 seems to prevent each browser from "doing it's own thing," so to speak. If anyone comes to our church website seeking information about Christ, being reformed, or our church specifically, we do not want browser issues to prevent them from doing so.
- Most of the support offered by CloverSites will now be geared toward the "CloverSites 3" system, meaning if we had chosen not to update our church website using the new system, finding the support we need might prove to be an issue for us.
- For some odd reason, when people would visit our website in Google Chrome from a desktop or laptop computer, it would automatically load the page as if they were using a mobile phone. The page would be display as if you were viewing it from an iPhone, Android Phone, or Windows Phone. Needless to say that's a problem. If you're using a laptop or desktop computer, the website should load in "desktop" mode, not "mobile" mode. The transition to CloverSites 3 seems to have resolved this issue.
As mentioned above, we exist to praise, love, and glorify God in every aspect of our finite human lives, so we want this website to be God-honoring as well. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the website content itself, or the new layout, please do not hesitate to send our pastor an email. His contact email can be found at the bottom of this page. There are also a few pages of our new website that are still under construction. Unfortunately, migrating all of our content is not a quick task. It takes time to re-upload the sermons and site content. Please bear with us as we get everything moved over.

With the economy collapsing all around us, I decided to give my dear, sweet Grandmother a call today to see how she was holding up.
There was no reply, but I could hear the dried up ol' hag wheezing like an asthmatic terrier.
"I GUESS JOHN MCSAME REALLY DID A NUMBER ON YOU, DIDN'T HE?" I pressed her.
"How does John McCain have anything to do with what's going on with the banking system?" Grandma finally spoke up. Too bad it was just another stupid Repug talking point.
"JOHN MCSAME VOTED WITH BUSH 90% OF THE TIME!!!!" I politely reminded her.
"And exactly which bills did he vote with Bush on that are responsible for the current economic downturn?"
You can always tell when the cons have been pre-programmed by their talk radio masters, because they'll question everything you say as if they actually have the ability (and the right) to debate you on your intellectually superior level.

Dealing with one's parents' troglodyte political views can be an exasperating business. But this campaign, perhaps because of its endlessness or because of its increasingly high stakes — the economy melting down or the prospect of Sarah Palin a heart beat away from the presidency — may have made many families more than ordinarily testy about the race.
"I get enough spam as it is, without having to weed through additional emails from family members to determine whether or not they are worth my time. The jokes and cute kittens emails are OK, but please discontinue the forwarding of political and religious emails," my brother wrote my mother earlier this year, precipitating several rounds of back-and-forth recrimination in our family.
......What if you find yourself having to decide: my politics or my family? And having to conclude that these people who I've mostly cherished are cretins?
"Is your mother a complete moron?" Asked my New York boyfriend as a I tried to describe my frustrating and confounding conversations. Family pride briefly won out over political sense, rousing me suddenly to attack the boyfriend and defend my moronic mother.
Her article is subtitled "My mother loves Sarah Palin more than she loves me". To be honest I'd imagine she would like syphillis more than her obnoxious daughter.

What to make for dessert when you can neither use milk products nor any kind of red fruit/berries? I'm sure there are a lot of options if you have the time to think about it. I didn't have much time to come up with something, though. But luckily, I had recently looked through desserts that I had prepared at one time or other, and I remembered seeing this tarte. It is very refreshing when eaten fridge-cold. The next day, I tried a piece with some whipped cream and that was even better.
150 g (1 1/3 stick) unsalted soft butter or margarine
90 g (1/2 cup minus 2 tsp) sugar
3-4 dashes of salt
4 egg yolks
1 tsp lemon zest

6 pink grapefruits (300 g each)
150 g (5 ounces) apricot jam or preserves
for glaze:
100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
12-15 grams (1/2 ounce) pectin
Mix together butter, sugar, salt, egg yolks, lemon zest, and flour until you get a smooth dough. Lightly butter a 12-inch tarte form. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough about 1 inch wider than the form. Line form with dough, press dough well against rim, and trim edges. Prick dough with a fork all along the bottom, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 360F. Bake pie crust for about 35 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the grapefruits into fillets, reserve juice. Keep the fillets in a strainer to drain them well. In a small saucepan, boil apricot jam for 3-4 minutes, then spread onto hot pie crust. Place grapefruit fillets in a circular fashion and slightly overlapping on pie crust. Let tarte cool completely. In a small saucepan, bring 150 ml (1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp) grapefruit juice with 100 g sugar and 12-15 g pectin to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, let cool, stirring, over a water bath, until beginning to gel. Spread over grapefruit fillets. Let set completely. Serve tarte with whipped cream, if desired.

Happy Monday! Late Happy Easter, to those who celebrate it. Or, I guess it's Easter Monday, so...Happy Easter! Last week, I was looking for ways to keep up with my fitness goals, without going out in the rain. I did pretty well. I just set a timer for 30 minutes and did things that could be classified as physical for those 30 minutes. Some days that was cleaning. Some days it was weight lifting. Some days that was a combination of that and more. This week I leaned that I can not do 100 consecutive squats. I can, however, do 76, and that's not bad. Squats are my favorite exercise. I've always loved them. Saturday finally brought some beautiful weather, but instead of spending it outside I...stayed indoors and played the sims.. yeah, I know.
I think I've found the trick to my motivation. It's constantly changing my system for motivation. Before, it was picking the one most important thing I needed to get done that day. This week it's been setting time limits. Sometimes it's making long lists for the week and not having a real schedule. If I keep changing, I'll keep motivated. I hope, anyway.
Here, links:
Some people's priorities seriously amaze me. Then again, beer is important.
Don't dye eggs this year for Easter, dye Bacon.
What's better then a bowl full of puppies? (um, nothing?)
The IT guy at work just alerted me to this: Caffeinated Bacon. It's a blog about how to make (surprise!) Caffeinated Bacon. They called it a 90% success (too much caffeine, and the taste was a little off), but 90% is pretty awesome for a first try. Also, Caffeinated Bacon. Seriously.
This is one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. The giant peacock feather bouquet! The Bridesmaids dresses/name rings! It's absolutely stunning, and the photography is incredible.
Tired of LOLcats (BLASPHEMY!)? Try some Average Cats. Also? The amount of angry in the comments was awesome. You kinda want to go, Seriously guys, calm down before your head explodes.
Threat Detected! This photo literally made me laugh out loud. Such an obvious joke, but one I never would have thought of.
A London Born Author and food activist has been identified as the messiah of an obscure religious group. Can you imagine? Crazy. Just insane.
500 Worst Passwords It still blows my mind when I talk to customers who's password is 123456 and they wonder why their email got hacked.
Click here to see some beautiful digital paintings. Seriously. Click there.
A timeline of sexy defined through the ages is pretty interesting.
How to Make Peepshi (Peeps sushi) "Execute six Peeps of your color choice by decapitation." very cute. and disturbing.
"If You Watched the Movie Backwards..." funny!
How to bake a dog cake total cuteness.
This week is the first full week of April! I've picked some new goals, dusted off some old ones, and I'm ready to rock! Or whatever. Last night, I had a dream about playing The Sims, so I think it's time to take a break from playing. So, this week, no Sims until Saturday at the EARLIEST. I'm also going to spend as much time outside in the beautiful weather as possible. I'm already on my way with that one. Yesterday The Boyfriend and I walked over to his parents for Easter lunch, and I cleaned up my garden yesterday afternoon.
How was your week? Got any big plans for the new month?

Back with a Vengeance, and Pictures and Drunk Guys
We honored the beloved saint, Mr. Valentine, by beating the crap out of each other. There are two guys at Varsity House that weigh less than I do. I boxed the tougher one the first time. This time I was just being mean. I couldn't knock him down, but at least he said he got pretty dazed a couple times. He was cool about it too. He wants to box me again. He said next time I'll have stronger arms (they've been sore all week) and he'll have a stronger face. He also says that since he learned something every time he got hit (like don't lower your gloves, ever), he's like a genius at boxing now. Plus he gets to go around showing off his black eye.
Next, the match was between Alex and Dirty Jon. I can't really call it a fight. Alex is a black belt at something, but that really screwed him up. Dirty Jon came out jabbing like none other. His arms were even moving too fast for the video to catch. Then he got tired, and Alex got some good hits in. In the second round, Dirty was out of gas; Alex punched him in the forehead, and Jon threw in the towel. Dirty Jon's a pretty extreme character. Let's say he's a quirky, awkward version of Joe Vendehey.
Then, some loud, drunk, black guys came in and started boxing. They were walking down the street, heard the boxing going on, came in, and a couple of them put on the gloves. They looked like they knew what they were doing. During one of the rounds, one guy put his gloves down and stuck his chin down and kept goading on the other guy to take a good hit ("yea, give me some, come own, yea, I like dat"). For the whole three rounds, it was really entertaining. Then they left.
The few other matches don't really stand out. I'm trying to work my way up so next time I challenging somebody who's got about 20 pounds on me (mainly all muscle too). I wanted to post this right away, but my New Year's resolution was to stay off of blogs and Facebook during winter term.

you and Ben should box-it-up when you two come home for break! That'll be the fight of the century!
- Cory said...
Gee I'm flattered. Unless you were sarcastic. Because Ben would whoop me. Ben I can't wait to see you two whole belt holes thinner.
- Ben said...
I've already put ten of the thirty back on, so you should probably come up over spring break if you want to see any difference. And I bet you'd be a great boxer if you got in a real training program.
- Ben said...
Actually make that twenty, in less than four days. If I keep this pace up, I may walk on to the football team next year to play offensive line. That'd be sweet, except for the weighing 300 lbs. part.
- X said...
wow good thing neither you Cory or Ben are Catholic, cause Pope Bennidict and his new council released a few months ago that boxing is a sin. why? because the intention of the sport is to inflict harm on the other person, therefore a sin. Yeah you sure are lucky that you aren't catholic Cory, cause God might just smite you down if you were. The same goes for you Ben...wait? Hold on...
- Cory said...
aw man. I was hoping Pope BENEDICT had changed his mind since the last time you shared that little tidbit. but seriously, I think you had a couple of good points in there. my next match (on Mardi Gras), I'm thinking of boxing somebody I don't really like. I'd really like to humble him, but he has 40 pounds on me. So my motive is definitely morally questionable in this one. On the other hand, most of the time I've been boxing my friends. It's a real bonding experience. The way I look at it, the point of it is the same as the point of all other sports, to do well and beat the other team/guy. I'm into sports for the competition, and boxing is just a more physical means of competition than most other sports.
Your other good point was that I am lucky I am not Catholic.

Their marriage may be over, but Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger are still making beautiful music.
Lavigne shared photos in the studio with the Nickelback rocker to her Instagram on Sunday.
It appears the pair still plans to collaborate, despite announcing their separation in early September.
"YeeHaw! Writing with Chad today," Lavigne, 31, captioned a photo of herself strumming a guitar in a cowboy hat.
In a second image, Kroeger, 40, smiled as he held tight to his own guitar.
"Back where it all started …" Lavigne said.
The duo previously collaborated on the pop star's 2013 single "Let Me Go." The track features vocals from both the stars, and was co-written by the former couple.
Avril Lavigne: 'I Thought I Was Dying'
The couple were married in July 2013, but were soon plagued by Lavigne's debilitating battle with Lyme disease.
"Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we've created many unforgettable moments," Lavigne wrote on Instagram at the time of their split. "We are still, and forever will be, the best of friends, and will always care deeply for each other. To all our family, friends and fans, thank you sincerely for the support."

The breaking story of Andrea Friedman defending herself against the FB attack by Sarah Palin and follow up by noting Sarah Palin's inability to take a joke, recognize the correct subject of a joke, and rebuff the claim of Sarah being spokesperson for all physically and/or mentally challenged people everywhere can be read in detail on The Immoral Minority and on Palingates.
In a nutshell, Andrea likens Sarah's carting her son around on the campaign/book-signing trails to carrying him around like a loaf of French bread, clarifying her parents would never have done this to her. Andrea had loving, committed parents who provided her with hands-on, quality care and guidance.
Most parents of special needs kids instinctively enjoy that common ground; putting their child's needs first. As a matter of fact, raising a special needs kid actually increases the instance of divorce among special needs parents because one or the other can dive so deep into commitment of care, they stop tending to the needs of their marriage. Inevitably, this pushes the neglected spouse out the door.
But when parents can work together, becoming their own support system and balancing the care of their special needs child with other, familial and personal needs, it's magic. And the resulting, well-nourished, well-rounded, intelligent child shows it.
Andrea Friedman is a finished-product of such magic. She is a lovely human being. She's well-mannered, educated, poised, talented and warm. She's independent, drives a car, works and manages her own income. On the subject of special needs, while Sarah can only give lip service, Andrea can actually speak. And she does. She travels the US guest-lecturing at fundraising events aimed at educating the general public about and raising funds for Down's Syndrome charities. She does it for love of the cause, not media attention.
Some of Sarah's supporters (comments can be read here – scroll down to update #3) have begun negating Andrea's letter to the editor, inferring anyone with DS could not possibly have written the email received and published by Huffington Post in Andrea's name. Why? It was coherent. It was legible. It was thoughtful.
It does my head in to realize there are still such ignorant people out there – adults who believe all mentally challenged people are blithering idiots. Well to be fair, I suppose when your idol is the Word Salad Czar it would be difficult to digest the possibility of anyone less genetically-endowed to be more eloquent, gracious or morally superior.
It takes a whole village to raise a child. But whether the child is a special needs kid or just a kid, that village needs to include full-time parents. Parents who play a key role in the nurturing process, not ones who just make guest appearances when the cameras are rolling.
I had another thought. But the microwave dinged and as I ran to the kitchen to retrieve my cuppa, in frantic effort to silence the annoying sound, the thought fell out of my head and now I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Keep an eye out will you? And if you happen to spot my errant thought please leave a comment telling me where to look . (Stop laughing. Someday you'll be this old too!)

The Tony Awards seem to be turning into a time machine permanently stuck in the year 1949. Last year, a revival of "Death of a Salesman" topped the 53rd annual Tony tally, and this year, at Sunday night's 54th awards, "Kiss Me, Kate" — which, like "Salesman," won five Tony awards in '49 — was the big winner, taking home five more awards, the most of any production.
In addition to winning the coveted musical revival prize, "Kate's" prizes were for costumes, orchestrations, lead actor Brian Stokes Mitchell and director Michael Blakemore, who took home a history-making second award for directing best play winner "Copenhagen."
Among new musicals, "Contact" was the big winner. Susan Stroman took home the night's first award for her choreography on the show (besting her own work on "The Music Man"). She got the evening off to an emotional start by dedicating it to her late husband, Mike Ockrent, who died in December. It was her third Tony (she previously won for choreographing "Crazy for You" and "Show Boat").
"Contact" connects
Despite the controversy surrounding its inclusion in the category ("Contact" lacks an original score and is performed to recorded music), the show came out on top in the best-musical sweepstakes, and also won prizes for its featured stars, Boyd Gaines and Karen Ziemba.
But Tony voters spread other prizes among the season's diverse field of new musicals; Disney's "Aida" tied "Contact's" second-best tally of four prizes. The show's star, Heather Headley, won the actress-in-a-musical award, amid a particularly strong field, and the show's lighting designer Natasha Katz and set designer Bob Crowley also were honored for their work.
Most significantly, Elton John and Tim Rice were honored for their score for "Aida." But neither composer John nor lyricist Rice turned up to collect the award — perhaps pointedly, since the musical's exclusion among the nominees in the best musical category was widely perceived as a major snub. (Or maybe they doubted their chances to win, for the same reason.) The award for best book of a musical, another category in which "Aida" wasn't nominated, went to Richard Nelson for "James Joyce's The Dead."
Blakemore's dual awards marked the first time in Tony history that a director was honored with both the musical and play prizes in a single year (although George C. Wolfe, Trevor Nunn and Jerry Zaks, for instance, have won both awards in separate seasons).
British invasion
His novel victory was just the most prominent reminder that Broadway continues to be successfully colonized by the British. Other Brit winners included the London-originating production of Tom Stoppard's "The Real Thing," which took home the play revival prize, beating out a homegrown "Moon for the Misbegotten" that was considered its chief competition. "The Real Thing's" stars, Stephen Dillane and Jennifer Ehle, also won awards in their categories, besting competition from "Moon" stars Gabriel Byrne and Cherry Jones, among others. ("Moon" did take home a single nod, for featured actor Roy Dotrice.)
"Copenhagen," which won a third prize for featured actress Blair Brown, is also a U.K.-originating play, and "Aida's" John, Rice and Crowley also upped the quotient of Brit winners.
Ehle's actress-in-a-play win was perhaps the evening's biggest surprise, in a hotly contested field that included her mother, Rosemary Harris. Although born in the U.S., Ehle has made her career exclusively in England, and has the accent to prove it, as she illustrated when accepting her award, saying, "What a homecoming!"
Among the most significant shows to go home empty-handed was the revival of Meredith Willson's "The Music Man," which won nary a trophy for its eight nominations, second only to "Kiss Me, Kate's" tally of 12. Also blanked were the new musicals "Swing!" (six noms) and "The Wild Party" (seven). The latter show has struggled at the box office after receiving mixed reviews and was widely expected to close up shop if it didn't take home any major prizes. Among plays, the hot-ticket revival of "True West" (four noms) and Claudia Shear's "Dirty Blonde" (five noms) were left out of the winners circle.
Return to respectability
After last year's ragged show, this year's presentation was a more polished affair, and was once again hosted by Rosie O'Donnell, who mostly played straight man to wisecracking sidekick Nathan Lane. Nevertheless, the CBS portion of the telecast began awkwardly, with a pathetic medley desperately attempting to give Broadway some mass-audience legitimacy by emphasizing the fact that a few rather minor TV stars started out in Broadway musicals. ("Gee, that funny girl from 'Will & Grace' was once in a Broadway musical — let's go see 'Copenhagen'!")
Inside the auditorium, O'Donnell and Lane tossed off a seemingly endless series of jokes aimed at the notorious parsimoniousness of producers Barry and Fran Weissler. Finally, when the show came in a few minutes early, they let the public in on the joke (Fran who? they were surely asking in Peoria), cracking that the Weisslers were prepping road tours of the shows "Guy and Doll," "Cat" and "Grand Hotel 6."
But it was Dame Edna who, early on in the proceedings, surely got the last laugh. Presenting an award in the PBS portion of the telecast, she grandly described herself as "the only Broadway show to be closing voluntarily" — words to cause some wincing in the days ahead, as the fallout from the awards is felt on Broadway.

Oh so here is a typical day here at the MTC. So I wake up at about 6 a.m., by the way I've been doing really good about waking up on time no problems yet, and then I shower and get ready and we have to be in our classroom by 7. Then Zuster Brown and I, mijn colega, study the scriptures together. At 7:30 we have breakfast then at 8 we either teach our "investigator" Quincy or we have class time with our teacher for 3 hours. Then generally we have one hour of personal study time. At 12:15 we go to lunch and then at 1 we have language study for an hour. Then at 1 we have the other that we didn't have before, either teaching our investigator or class time for 3 hours. Then is additional study time which is usually companion study time. Then at 5:15 is dinner and then at 6 is usally gym time until 7:30. Then we usually have TALL which is language study time on the computers. Then at 8:30 we have additional study time and then we plan at 9 until 9:30 then we get to go back to our residence hall. There we get ready for bed, prepare for the next day, write in our journals and then by 10:30 I'm sooo tired all I want to do is sleep. The 3 days that is different is on Tuesday we have service time in the morning where we get to help clean some of the buildings and the devotional in the evening. Then Thursdays which is P-Day. And then Sundays which are amazing!
So about the rest of my week. Umm let's see. Mijn colega Zuster Brown got here on Friday in the morning which was awesome! Before she came I was with Zuster Wood and Zuster Djoukeng. They are also great. So by Friday we started teaching our "investigator" IN DUTCH!!!! I couldn't believe they made us start teaching on the 3rd day we were here! The lesson wasn't really all that good to be honest. Then on Saturday I had a pretty hard day. (So anything I write in parenthesis is just for you guys and not for the bog so just make sure to erase it before you post it please. So I had kind of a mental breakdown Saturday. I was feeling so frustrated with myself and my abilities. But don't worry I'm much better now. ) Sunday was relaxing and edifying, and amazing! I think I am going to love Sundays! Then monday was normal and ok. Tuesday was another hard day. We had to have our blood taken which I absolutely hate and we had to do something the other Dutch missionaries have called magic Tuesday. Let me just say there is absolutely nothing magical about it! (We had to do a stool sample for Belgium to make sure we don't have any parasites YUCK! It was pretty awful!) On Tuesday I talked to one of the Zusters going to Denmark because I was struggling and she had some amazing advice for me! Wednesday was absoultely great! Today we got to go to the temple which I loved and we ate in the temple cafeteria. The waffles were SOOO good!
So let me describe a little bit about all of the Zusters in my District. So we are one of the first all girl districts. There is Zuster Brown which is mijn colega. She is absolutely as sweet as can be! She is beautiful and always kind. She always sees the good in others and reminds me to not get too worked up about the little things. Zuster Anjeweirden is awesome! She reminds me a lot of ReyLynn Reid actually. She is very smart and has a great smile. She's dedicated and fun! I love her! Her colega is Zuster Hudson. She is blunt and soooo funny! She does the funniest things and she always makes me laugh =). Zuster Djoukeng is a diva! She is so sweet though and is a great leader! Then there is Zuster Wood. She's very quiet and a sporty girl but once you get to know here she is so much fun to talk to! So I room with Zuster Brown, Djoukeng, and Wood, and then yesterday we had some new Sisters going to Sweden join us. Oh so in our zone there are two elders going to Iceland, 3 sisters and 3 elders going to Denmark, 9 Zusters and 3 elders going to Belgium and the Netherlands and then 16 sisters and 3 elders going to Sweden just got here yesterday! WHOA! Oh so I've seen Ryan Wilkinson the first day, Brianna Downey I saw today, I saw Chelsea Newitt yesterday, I saw Elder Hastriter, my FHE brother from freshman year the first day, and then I saw Ali Wickham today as well. Oh by the way she told me hi from you Dad =) Thanks.
So let me talk about some of the spritiual things. I have never felt more spiritually edified in my life than I have in the last week! It is amazing the feelings I have had here. It is overwhelming a lot of the time because there is just so much to learn! I thought I was a good teacher and I knew it would be hard but I didn't know how hard it would be! I have been soooo humbled being here. It has been hard to teach our investigator in Dutch. Originally we would write out the whole lesson in Dtuch and just read from it and we never really felt like the Spirit was there. Also it felt like we were just all over the place. Then we had a devotional on how to become effective teachers. And to teach simply like the Savior did and with love. There is a scripture in 2Nephi that talks about how he loves the plainness of the gospel. I realized that that is how I have to teach. So for our next lesson we set out a lesson plan and just prayed for the Lord to help us. It was AMAZING! The Spirit was there and the words did come! It really is true the gift of tongues is real. I have only been here one week and I can speak more in Dutch than I probably can in French. It is so amazing. I am also learning that so little of what I am doing is about me, in fact none of it really is. It is all about the Lord and our brothers and sisters. I am basically the mouth for the Lord and in order to teach his children the way he would teach them, I have to follow and listen to the Spirit. Truly it is amazing how I feel here. It is so easy to become discouraged, but the more faith and trust you have in the Lord, the happier you are and more the Spirit can help you.
So I want to tell you really quick about my teachers. There is brother Norton and Brother Wells. They are both amazing! Again it's amazing how much of the language I have learned is such a short amount of time. Also you know how people always talk about Godly love? Well it's amazing how real that is and how much I feel it here. I love my teachers even though I've known them for so short a time. I love my zone, I love my district, I love mijn colega, and I already love the people in Belgium and the Netherlands. This is truly God's work and I look forward to continuing to learn from His Spirit and become the missionary that He wants me to become. I can't do this, but HE can and He will give me the strength and the knowledge to share His gospel throughout the world!
Met liefhebben,
Zuster Cassie Mizell
P.S. PLEASE send me letters and dearelder me!! You just go to dearelder.com and put in my address and I get it the same day! I love getting letters and hearing how things are at home and with everyone! My address is
