I am a heterosexual, 33 year-old, single woman.
I happen to also be in the process of becoming a fully ordained pastor.
I am starting the process of ordination with the PCUSA. I went to seminary in Seattle. I've been in ministry in one way, shape or another for as long as I can remember. I have a strong sense of who I am and what I am doing with my life.
Yet, it seems that it was easier to navigate dating and finding "the one" when I had no idea who I was and didn't know what I was doing with my life.
Guys seemed to be everywhere, especially during undergrad. I lived in dorms with 125 other girls, all in the same place, all trying to figure out who we were. The boys were readily accessible in the next dorm over.
The Invisible Timeline
What I didn't know at the time was the existence of the invisible timeline of how the "Christian woman" was supposed to become a complete person:
- Go to Christian college
- Find boyfriend
- Lock it down
- Get married
- Have babies
Then, when said list was finished, I would be an accomplished female of this world and would feel complete.
Yet, when I graduated unmarried and without children, apparently I was wandering off the beaten path.
Looked Down on Is Not The Same as Seen
Many people in the Christian Community are confused by my life stage and not sure what to do with me. I often get the head tilt, which, in my interpretation, is the equivalent of the southern phrase, "Bless her heart!" As though the life I am living is lacking, a misstep, and to be pitied.
I feel the tension even as I type. It's not that I don't want to be in a relationship, or have babies, or get married. It's just that I don't want my life to be pitied. I want the place that my life is in to be seen as good, honored, shown dignity and supported.
It is hard to meet people in this day and age, let alone with the added provisions of Christian culture. These provisions are ones that remind single people their existence is less than those that are married and procreating. Or they tell us that the single life is just something to get through until you get married. Oh! And don't forget about all the rules of how to date and how not to date.
I've heard people say phrases like…
Meeting people is just not the same as it use to be. The meet cute has been hijacked by online sites and apps that turn finding a life partner into a game.
If you notice, I haven't even gotten to the Pastor part of this… Let's add it shall we?
So, What Do You Do for a Living?
As a woman heading into ordained ministry, my vocation creates another obstacle to finding a partner. There are a myriad of assumptions about pastors to start with, then add the whole woman thing and the script is set.
There are two types of responses I have received from two types of Christian men:
The Conservative Christian Man: You know that you are going to hell, right?
Conversation over.
The Liberal Christian Man: I think what you are doing is so good. Do you think this is what you always want to do?
Conversation continues…
…until he realizes that I'm not going to shift my view at any point in time and he wonders what the role of a "Pastor's Husband" would be.
Both responses, I have decided, come from a place of assuming I am "too much." Apparently, meeting a woman in a position of authority is intimidating or is not a norm that Christian men are looking for. YES! I am strong and I know it. If you can't handle that, then I don't want to be in relationship with you anyways.
The pastoral vocation is a man's world, and I am a woman living in it. I know how to navigate the testosterone-y waters, and I'm good at it. I am also good at bringing the much-needed feminine voice to this vocation. Yes, I am strong, I don't know any other way to be, and I'm not going to apologize for it.[Tweet "The pastoral vocation is a man's world, and I am a woman living in it. ~Cassie Carroll"]
Then we have…
The Non-Christian Man: Ahhhh… Cool… So does that mean you don't have sex before marriage?
How am I supposed to respond to that over a texting app?
It opens up the super-vulnerable topic of a person's sexuality way too soon and, for me, the topic of how I feel the church has failed on providing me with language for understanding my own sexuality. (I think that may need to be a different post…)
I have tried different tactics to avoid letting men know what I do with my life before they actually meet me, wanting them to give me a chance before writing me off as a prude or a power-hungry she-pastor. But then I just feel like a liar.
People have asked, "But what about Christian dating sites? That has to be different!" Nope. It is not any different. At least not for me.
It actually feels like more pressure, because most Christians have this idea that all pastors must be the "perfect" Christian. The assumption is too much to live up to! I either don't live up to their standards of being a pastor or I crush their illusion of what it means to be a pastor. Either way, not a great way to start a healthy relationship.
This is the point in which I just get defeated. I have yet to find the creative fourth response of, "Oh wow! That's amazing! It's really impressive that you have claimed your call with such passion." WHERE IS THAT GUY?
Enter the overly sympathetic responses from all your married friends…
Not helpful.
Eyes that See
What about instead show you care more about my life as a single person than fixating on how to "get me out" of singleness? How about asking questions about how my life is going and not assume that I am incomplete without a spouse? How about asking about the passions I have in my life that make my world amazing?
The harsh truth is that the Christian Church has not done a good job giving people categories to talk about what it means to be single. And the lack of conversation has spoken volumes.[Tweet "A lack of conversation speaks volumes."]
Waiting in the Tensions
Here is where I am so thankful for the groundbreaking work of Christena Cleveland. On a blog titled "A Liberation Theology for Single People," Cleveland tackles the unbalanced world of the Single Christian:
The marginalization of single people in the church is not just a sociological problem; it is also a theological problem. The dominant, marriage-centric theology — in which Christian colleges create centers for marriage (but not singleness) and pastors wax poetic about marriage (but not singleness) for 8-week sermon series — points to a God who loves single people a bit less than married people. Not only does this corrode the identities of single people who are rightful and invaluable members of the family of God, it tarnishes our perception of God.
Cleveland uncovers the hidden theological-identity issue that the Christian world struggles to admit is real.
Culturally speaking, I already have the cards stacked against me as a pastor solely because I am a woman. I am already viewed by many people as "less than" or "not as good as." And now, because I a do not have a specific ring on a specific finger, the weight feels even heavier.
Again, it is not that I don't want to get married and find a life partner. It is that I want the life I have at this very moment to be shown dignity and worth. Nowhere does the biblical text say that salvation is based on our marital status; it is based on Christ. Thankfully, I'm covered.
Until the day comes when relationship status is not an indicator of worth, I am left to sit in the uncomfortable tensions: the tension of wanting a relationship but not willing to get married for the sake of marriage; the tension of making people uncomfortable and wanting my life stage to be honored; the tension of tradition and my present life stage.
Ask your church:
How do we engage single people in your church? How has our church shown the single life honor and respect? How can we help change the stigma around being single and help everyone know they "invaluable members of the family of God?"
Female pastors welcome HERE! Let's start a church!

All I gotta say is, you know I understand TOO well what you've just written…and throw in a high five and fist pump too. 🙂
Thanks Irene! Love you girl!
It was good to see you! You might want to chat with Irene Pak Lee at Stone Church who shared your journey but found someone who understood! Miriam
Thanks Miriam! Irene and I are good friends. She's the best!
he daughter of zion how i you doing my name is Evangelist Perer FR Tambah this is my number +2310776007159
Thank you. You wrote this better than I ever could have expressed, now, or 10 years ago when I was your age.
And now I'm in my 40s. Still single. Still childless. Not by choice.
Pastoral opportunities drying up, because apparently I'm not successful at family life, which is the lifeblood of the local church.
I feel like a pariah in the pentecostal church.
I'm still asking, where is that guy who appreciates strong, feminine, faithful female pastors? I honestly never found him. I'm still looking though, because my life is grounded in the Lord and He leads me, and I trust Him to bring me the comfort I desire in a healthy, loving relationship. xx
Essie – Thank you! I feel like so many people try to give out this idea that image in their minds will become your reality. I think women need to be talking about this more… but I know its scary to admit that life didn't end up like the timeline said. I hope we can push through the fear and claim the amazingness of who we are. Because we were created in the image of God just like everyone else! Blessings Essie! Keep kicking butt!! – Cassie
Dear Essie
Having read through your message, l will be honored to be that man and I am called to the work as a minister of the word.. I believe I can be in that space and help achieve that goal
Amen and Amen! Divorced mother, which adds another strike against me – not my choice in the divorce, but who even gets that far in the discussion. EHarmony used to match me up with conservative Christians who don't even acknowledge my right to be a pastor or what I used to call 'motorcycle guys', who while less judgmental, were also not interested in someone who worked weekends. So no – there is no dating app or site or matchmaker who will find this unicorn man who is comfortable with me, my son, or my vocation. Some days it bothers me. Some days I can't work up the energy to care – there's kingdom work to be done, and I'm called.
HECK YES!! Sometimes I get down on the entire situation too and I have to let myself go through that moment or it will just fester. I'm sure adding a kiddo to the mix makes the entire situation that much more complicated. I focus on what I'm good at… creating opportunities for people to intentionally encounter Jesus in a tangible way. I figure I just need to do what I am called to do and if someone really worth it comes along to be apart of that work… I'll consider it 😉 PS… EHarmony is the worst.
Dear Cassie Carroll. It a pleasure writing to you for the very first time. My name is Br. Joseph Fru. I,m a Cameroonian by nationality, but presently I,m in South Africa ,Cape Town. Cassie I,m a Preacher. I got my own Ministry and I preached the Gospel of Grace to lost souls. As a believer, I believe in God,s word, Jesus said, Ye have not chosen me,but I have chosen you,and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Cassie I,m single and age 47, never been married, lady if you like me and still single, I,ll marry you. Distance means nothing it,s trust that count. It,s my wish to marry a God fearing lady and I believe it,s the will of God. God create ye male and female and God said let the man leave his father and mother and join to his wife, let the two become one, what God has join let no man put in asunder. I believe Cassie is my wife.
Am an evangelist 36yrs from nigeria under free methodist church worldwide specialized on church planting. I need a God fearing wife who will help me on the vission that God has given me. Am waiting for that special one.+2347032295238

Hi Cassie God will fulfill your heart desire very soon.
Hello greetings my dear sister am very excited in your testimony and please i would to know more about house church please.
Am pastor Paul simiti from Kenya
Hi Cassie, a lot of food for thought. I am convinced that a large number of the members of the Church have misunderstood the kingdom and its message of the priority of the kingdom, the cross and ministry.
I believe there's a revolution on and we are part of it, reclamation of the call and heart of God.
Amén! So exciting to be part of such times as this!
remarkable text and very touching experience, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for writing this blog. As a single woman church planter I can also relate to this topic. So many walls have to be brought down as a woman who has been called to church plant. Many people forget Romans 16 as Paul thanked so many women who served and were pioneers the early church. Also questioning whether someone whether men or women has been called is interesting as it limits a God that has no limits and who can make the impossible for human minds become possible. He can use anyone or anything he likes for his purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 also explains it well. I have short hair, wear jeans and was called to church plant to the homeless, poor, gang members, drug dealers and much more and people would question my calling based on being a woman and my appearance. Had people who sat me down to convince me of how a woman should not have authority over men, when. I have no authority as I am a servant not God. I Thank God/Jesus for organizations like V3 and others who do support people's calling because this is hard enough and support is needed. Blessings!
God needs us more than we can imagine. He needs us to surrender to his calling. Regardless of what people have thought or their opinion I've come to realize the importance of us answering his call. I've seen people come out of addictions and so many other strong holds by them surrendering to Jesus. All thru sharing the good news with them and reading the word of God, the Bible. God needs us to answer the call. In our weakness he is strong. He must be so happy for those who have answered!
Hi, I am a pastor in Zambia, I am here to request for church construction funding and partnership. Kind regards
looking for a female pastor to marry and help in ministry

"In our rapidly developing South Africa, a country so rich in natural resources, there is new emphasis on science education, to train all the scientists – all the wildlife conservationists, metallurgists, chemical engineers, virologists, geologists, marine biologists and ecologists, just to name a few – the country needs and can support!"
The Science Lab Project started in early 2011 with the objective of equipping the Science teachers of Ukhanyo Primary School with the confidence, skills and resources necessary to educate young scientists. The Project Leader, Fran Loudon, initiated this project and has committed 3 years as a full time volunteer.
This has been a highly successful collaborative project between MASICORP and the school. The results so far, in terms of performance results and teacher engagement, have provided a model of teacher support that will now be used in the new Language Lab in the school and a proposed Maths Lab.
"To have a Science Lab was my dream as the principal of Ukhanyo but I did not know that my dream was going to come true. . . I used to visit Science Labs of different schools and think a Science Lab was something beyond our reach. Any parents who could, used to send their children to richer schools but now their mindset has changed because of the Ukhanyo Science Project. Our learners can do experiments for the first time in their life because before we could only give them theory instead of practical experiments. . . . what is happening in the Science Room is beyond my expectations."
Mr Michael Tyhali, (Ukhanyo Primary School – Principal)

Comedy podcasts are as common as our Lord's image in potato chips and soapy windows these days — if not more so, really — and it's increasingly hard to stand out from the thousands of them choking the iTunes pipeline.
That's not a problem for "Uhh Yeah Dude," a wry, stream-of-consciousness, at times surreal podcast that dispenses with the usual jokes and inside-comedy banter in favor of free-form discussions that veer wildly and entertainingly from topic to topic.
Launched in February 2006 by young Hollywood dudes Jonathan Larroquette (yes, the son of "Night Court" actor John Larroquette) and Seth Romatelli (who was oh-so-briefly in the Britney Spears movie "Crossroads"), "Uhh Yeah Dude" has amassed a hardcore following online and, increasingly, in concert as the duo travels the country recording sold-out episodes in front of audiences.
We caught up with the guys via e-mail in advance of their Oriental Theater show on Saturday, June 8 to talk about their favorite shows, podcasting milestones, haircuts, sweat, "Night Court," getting embarrassed and all other manner of tomfoolery.
Can you give our readers some background on the show and its hosts? I realize that's my job but I'm asking you to do it for me.
Jonathan Larroquette: Seth and I started the show over 7 years ago. It's basically a current events (the week that was) type format with two hosts with no guests. My name is Jonathan Larroquette I'm from L.A. My father is an actor and I grew up watching him on television, etc. Seth is from Haverhill, Mass. His father was a firefighter. He went to Emerson and moved to L.A. to become my dad. We started the show at a time when we both felt a bit disenchanted with Hollywood and life in general and also were a bit unclear what we wanted to do next. I am and have been a musician since I was a kid but have always had a deep connection with comedians and actors I suppose that the podcast felt at the time like a place we could kinda hide out and try and make a funny show without a whole lot of pressure or expectations. It felt safe and new.
Seth Romatelli: See Jonathan's answer above.
You're about to hit 375 episodes. What's kept you fresh and clean this whole time? How do you stay motivated to record each new episode? Doesn't it get sweaty down there, in that place where you'd like to keep it fresh and clean?
JL: Talc seems to work well for me. However a grown man that smells like diapers has its own unique drawbacks. Yeah, we are looking down the barrel at 400, which I think is incredible. It may very well be the only consistent thing I've ever done for this long. Save for like washing up and eating, etc. Seth helps keep it fresh by constantly providing peculiar and rich stories week in and week out that serve as a platform for us to hopefully get to somewhere in our running dialog that we haven't up to that point. That and I usually have something pseudo-tragic happen every couple weeks.
SR: 1.) Hard Work 2.) I love the podcast 3.) I am always camera ready.
You're one of the earliest and best-known comedy podcasts, and comedy is arguably the genre that podcasting has most latched onto and benefited from. There are countless comedy podcasts out there, so I'm curious which are your favorites? Have you found imitators?
JL: I don't listen to them all that much to be honest. If I'm in headphones I'm either working on my own music or listening to the Grateful Dead 🙂
SR: I have never listened to a podcast not called Uhh Yeah Dude.
When did you start venturing into live shows and were you surprised by the feedback?
JL: That first show we did in Brooklyn (October of 2009) was a huge turnout. We were blown-away shocked. I think since then we've come to accept that there is an audience out there, faceless most weeks, but given the opportunity they like to come out and see us and sorta check in. If I could I think I'd do every episode live in front of people. I think Seth might hate that idea but I wouldn't mind.
SR: We did the podcast in my living room every week since February of 2006 before we did our first live show in the Andy Dick Black Box Theater at I.O. in Hollywood in May of 2009. It was a free show but when people told me they had flown from Chicago and driven from Arizona I was curious.
Going back even further, when did you start to know you had a solid fan base for the show? You both seem to have entertainment industry connections outside the show. Have those helped or hurt the development of your audience?
JL: Perhaps some people have seen my last name and clicked on us thinking they were gonna get regaled with stories about "Night Court." Outside of that I don't think any of those "connections" have helped or hindered. I think a couple years in we knew something was happening just based off the bandwidth and numbers, etc.
SR: Industry connections? For real? Who? Please tell me who these people are. I'm dying over here. I deal with the voicemail we have for the show (888-842-2357) so I think after a few months of episodes we had gotten a call from all 50 states, which told me we needed to continue.
What's the worst thing you've ever felt bad laughing about? I realize that's a rabbit hole. Did you ever listen to an episode and think, "oh shit we killed Jesus or something similar to killing Jesus"?
JL: I am regularly embarrassed by things I say or attempts I've made to be funny or provocative. I try not to listen to them too much. I stand by the concept, (but with) the approach I don't always feel as strongly about the results. Not to say I don't think we hella funny. Seth makes me laugh more and more often than anyone else I've ever met pretty much.
SR: We are here to build things up not tear them down.
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried, and why? You guys seem generally unflappable on the show.
SR: Watching "What Would You Do With John Quinones" last week and remarking to my girlfriend that a middle-aged woman in one of the scenes looked like a small version of my father. Not a female version, just my old man but smaller. Watching her crying and telling me to stop or she was going to puke made me cry.
Who are some of your favorite current comics? Dead? Alive? Zombie comics? Is that a thing?
JL: Riff raff and Spalding Gray (rips)
SR: The Good Morning America crew. Idiots!
Do you have any superstitious traveling rituals? Inexplicable items in your suitcase/duffle bag/armadillo purse?
JL: I'm fairly superstitious I suppose. I carry rocks around with me. You know the magical and powerful kind that deflect bad vibez.
SR: I carry a photograph of the Hollywood sign I took when I was 14 visiting Los Angeles with my parents during a vacation.
What's your favorite joke of the moment? (yours or someone else's)
JL: Real estate is booming in L.A. again.
SR: We don't really do jokes.
Do you think that writing seriously about comedy takes the fun out of it? Or do you think it has some merit, the way music journalism and criticism does in turning people onto new things?
JL: I think funny people talking about why they think they're valid or funny saps the appeal out of it a bit for me. I don't mind other people talking about how amazing and funny and handsome we are. For the record I hate music criticism on a whole. I do appreciate people who like something enough that they try and share what it is that is so good or effective for them. It's always deeply flattering to hear or read something like that about yourself.
SR: Of course not. Writers write. Any discussion, criticism, theory, history, etc. about anything helps to understand it. Helps to put it in context. Right? I suppose it depends on what is written. Everyone would love to read someone write something nice about them. And would want to egg the house of anyone talking shit.
Outside of clubs, comedians spend lots of their stage time at festivals. But what about podcasting festivals? Is that a thing? Do you guys "do" festivals? Incidentally, Do the Dew!
JL: I do occasionally. Seth does the DMD (Diet Mountain Dew). We did a small L.A. podcast fest last year that seemed to be well-attended and received. I believe they are doing another one this year.
SR: We participated in the first podcast festival last October in Santa Monica. The magic of "Uhh Yeah Dude" doesn't really come across in a hotel conference room.
What else should our readers know about your upcoming projects and haircuts?
JL: My shit is long and luxurious. Seth is quaffed and classy. We are both becoming silver foxes. We will hopefully be doing some more live events throughout the country in the coming months. Stay tuned.
SR: See Jonathan's answer above.

I want to wake up Sunday with you,

girl you'll put sugar into my soul,
let me fall head over boots for you,
kiss steady,shine strong,
think'in soft sweet crazy
as it's wild time causes
goood record years
As we go through school
Begin new stages in life
Continue to grow
Decide their new path
Everyone changes and comes to
Find not everyone stays around

It melts in your mouth tastfully
Sausage is my fav
Smiling, confident, determined

Feared losing her mother
Accomplished back to back state champion titles and happiness
Wishes to experince the world
Lives in Ratcliff, Arkansas
They can tell or prove anything
Pictures tell storys of you life
Meanings Within Words
D ecisions make your life
E veryone messes up in life
T he ture test is what you do after
E thier you learn and grow or
R e-do all your mistakes agian
M eanwhile people seem to not care
I n so they don't have the will to
N ot only right their wrongs but
E ven come to see that if you
D o as you think is right you'll be fine
How sad the loss
How sad our last time together .
We will always be remembered
as the greates team every.
Now that it's over
Only the memories are left over
I dont like my school
Everyone is annoying
The hallway is packed
People have on blank faces
I can't wait to graduate
What is that stinch
What could it be
Omg it was me?!
Is it my shoes
Is it my braces
Is it my knee pads
Is it my jersey
Low and behold it was
My pits
There once was a girl who ate a lot
She made mac and cheese in a pot
She ate till she was full
Now she is not so cool
Now she has to lay on a cot
They make fun of me
They always watched her back carefully
And made sure she's happy
Making people live their lives under

India rejects UN report on rights violation in Kashmir as 'fallacious' & based on 'unverified information'
India on Thursday rejected a UN report alleging human rights violations in Kashmir as "fallacious, tendentious and motivated".
- Published 14.06.18
New Delhi, June 14 (PTI): India on Thursday rejected a UN report alleging human rights violations in Kashmir as "fallacious, tendentious and motivated".
In a strong reaction, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the report is "overtly prejudiced" and seeks to build a "false narrative".
It violated the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, it said.
In the report released on Thursday, the UN talked about alleged human rights violations in both "Indian-administered and Pakistan-administered Kashmir" and sought an international inquiry into these abuses.
"India rejects the report. It is fallacious, tendentious and motivated. We question the intent in bringing out such a report," the MEA said.
It added that the report is a selective compilation of largely unverified information.
"The report violates India's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Pakistan is in illegal and forcible occupation of a part of the Indian state through aggression," the MEA said.

Public agencies can be useful in creating research institutes with clear links to industry to strengthen their technology infrastructure and develop relevant technologies and products for industry.
Azione works with these agencies in the formation of in-campus and off-campus research institutes. The selection process will be advised upon taking into consideration the value these centres bring to technology entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry, and all centres will be accredited.
Universities do original research which creates breakthrough opportunities for businesses. However, universities and the academics within them are rarely entrepreneurial or have business interests. The ability to create low-friction methods for industry to find and create licensing deals with universities helps to nurture entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Azione partners universities to define and facilitate the use of intellectual property with industry and to gain appropriate access for their researchers.
We also aim to improve research in universities by:
- Facilitating the procurement of expertise and capabilities in developing unique niche clusters within the universities by tapping onto their inherent/existing expertise in-house and building further on them.
- Advise on the establishment and/or development of in-campus research institutes and integrated innovation villages to increase industry R&D projects and IP commercialisation.
- Consult on the establishment and/or development of the university town concept as an initial case study for decentralised test-bedding capabilities.
To develop niche-specific high-value knowledge exports, we aim to improve industries by:
- Matching industry players with research institutes to collaboratively develop research expertise on industry-relevant technologies. This creates new exploitable and exportable intellectual property (not limited to high technology).
- Building greater integration synergies between industry players and research institutes by developing decentralised test-bedding capabilities for technology providers to deploy, test, incorporate, and further research with industry experts and researchers.
- Advising on test-bedding through long-term infrastructural and ecosystem subsidy support.

When I find something that fits just right, I tend to stick with it. With running shoes, it's New Balance's 1060, whose model number has reliably ticked up once a year since I started wearing them. After five years, I'm now onto the 1064. For jeans, I have a few pairs of Levi's Straight Loose cut. They sit nicely on my hips without needing belt, the crotch doesn't hang around my knees, and there's enough room to pedal my fixed-gear bike around town comfortably. On that and just about all of my steeds, I have seats made by Wilderness Trail Bikes. What can I say? WTB's designs fit my undercarriage, and that's a crucial point of contact for someone who thinks a six-hour ride is a perfectly relaxing way to spend a Sunday.
A proper fit is crucial for comfortable or competitive cycling, and I love that bikes offer all sorts of adjustment potential. Over the years, I've been able to tune my riding position carefully, settling on just the right seat height, stem length, handlebar angle, and grip tape. Such meticulous fiddling might seem obsessive, but it makes a big difference given how much time I spend perched on the pedals.
So, how much time do you spend with a mouse in hand? If you're a PC enthusiast, probably quite a lotif not at work, then certainly at home. Wouldn't it be nice to have a mouse with a custom fit? That's what Cyborg Gaming, a subsidiary of Mad Catz, has created with its Rat 7 gaming rodent. The Rat has all the fixings one might order with a premium gaming mouse, such as an insanely precise sensor and loads of programmable buttons, plus one very special trick: users can modify the mouse's size and shape to suit their hands.
As someone whose own apish mitts are notoriously difficult to fit, I was immediately intrigued. Then I saw the Rat and, well, I had to give it a try. I think you'll understand why:
Meet the Rat
Just look at it. Never before have I seen such a distinctive mouse. The exposed screws and sharp lines give the Rat an air of mechanical stealthiness. From some angles, the it's barely identifiable as a PC peripheral. I half expect one day to hear the iconic Transformers sound and look down to find a tiny Decepticon perched on my desk. Presumably, it will then attempt to strangle me with the mouse's nicely braided USB cable. The Rat looks entirely too menacing to be a friendly Autobot.
A black, almost satin finish nicely complements mouse's radar-deflecting surfaces. The matte treatment is smooth but not slippery, and unlike a glossy or polished coating, it won't pick up fingerprints and smudges. Excessively greasy fingertips will leave behind some residue, and you'll definitely want to keep this puppy away from the Cheeto guy who seems to show up at every LAN party. The Rat's blacked-out aesthetic and exposed internals make it easy to see the little flecks of dust, food, and dandruff that are sure to accumulate over time.
Certainly, it would be a shame for bright orange particulate sully the Rat's brooding exterior. This mouse has lived on my desk for more than a month now, and there are still times that I pause for a moment just to admire it. I'm not just lusting after its brutally gorgeous lines, but at the function that defines this mouse's striking form. The Rat looks like the combination of a bunch of different pieces because that's very much what it is, and you can swap and adjust most of those individual elements.
To illustrate the range of adjustment options, I've put together a handy side-by-side image of the mouse in its most compact and expanded forms. The palm rest can be extended aft by up to 15 mm, and there's 10 mm of forward-and-back range in the thumb rest. Users can also change the angle at which the thumb rest pivots out from the main body.
Over on the right, an optional wing provides a resting place for one's pinky finger. I didn't find this particular attachment to be all that comfortable, perhaps because it's home to some of the mouse's most aggressive edges. Fortunately, the Rat comes with a couple of flat panels for the right side. You can't move the thumb rest to accommodate wrong-handed lefties, though.
A second palm rest is 4 mm taller than the standard unit, allowing users to add a little arc the mouse's profile. When combined with the front-to-back adjustment range, the Rat can easily grow to cradle larger palms and provide extra reach for lengthy fingers. Users are limited to moving the palm rest between four notches along the mouse's spine, though. There are no such restrictions associated with adjusting the thumb rest, whose angle and position can be tweaked less than a millimeter at a time.
From this angle, we get a nice look at the Allen bolt that holds the mouse's side panel in place. If you don't want the pinky wing, you can choose between smooth and rubberized side plates. Similar choices are offered with the palm rest: the taller module is only available with a smooth finish, but shorter palm rests are included with the same surface treatments as the side plates.
The rubberized coating offers a little cushioning and extra grip, and I prefer it for gaming and general desktop use. Although it doesn't seem like much, the hint of extra padding does make a difference, especially after a long day.
Despite loads of exposed edges and angular surfaces, the Rat 7 is remarkably comfortable to hold once you've got the fit dialed in. I've yet to use a more comfortable mouse in day-to-day desktop tasks... even when those tasks extend well beyond the normal working day and into 10- and 12-hour territory. That said, during multi-hour gaming sessions, I did develop a bit of a sore spot where my hand touches the bottom-left edge of the palm rest. For what it's worth, the fingers on my other hand felt considerably more crippled after hammering away at the WASD keys for the same amount of time.

Marco! Polo!
Okay, all attempts at recreating a beloved childhood pool game aside (it is nearly November, after all…), the brand spanking new trailer for Netflix's Marco Polo has just been unveiled to whet the appetites of viewers. The show looks set to be a relatively accurate, if glossy, portrayal of Polo's exploration and journey of China and the Asian continent in the thirteenth century.
While the sound of a historical drama might turn some people away, the trailer features sword fights, gorgeous locales (the show was filmed in Italy, China, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan), absolutely stunning sets that rival those on professional film sets, naked assassins, and more than enough action to sate even the most voracious of battle scene aficionados.
Helmed by Italian actor Lorenzo Richelmy as Polo, and with solid actors such as future Avengers: Age of Ultron star Claudia Kim, former Bond baddie Rick Yune, Twin Peaks actress Joan Chen, and British actor Benedict Wong as Kublai Khan rounding out the show's impressive cast, the show is set to land on Netflix in December 2014, so keep your eyes peeled, and watch the trailer a dozen more times.
Marco Polo will debut on Netflix on December 12, 2014.

The first time however, I did a full pwnage of the phone and successfully neutered the bootloader and unlocked the phone. My question is, is my phone still unlocked? Is there a way I can check that without a foreign SIM card? Thanks.

The ship, commissioned last month in Manhattan, honors Lt. (SEAL) Michael P. Murphy, a New York native who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during Operation Red Wing in Afghanistan in 2005. Murphy was the first person to be awarded the medal for actions in Afghanistan, and the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War.
At the ship's commissioning Oct. 6, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, said, "USS Michael Murphy, the most flexible, lethal and multi-mission capable ship of its kind, represents the backbone of our surface combatant fleet. It is one of the best destroyers in the world. This ship will operate forward around the globe, assuring allies, projecting power and defending our nation. And, like its namesake Lt. Michael Murphy, this ship will serve to protect, influence and win in an era of uncertainty."
Rear Adm. Frank Ponds, commander of Navy Region Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific, will personally welcome Commanding Officer Cmdr. Thomas E. Shultz and his crew of 279 officers and enlisted personnel, as well as their families, to their new home.
"It is a special privilege to bring the Navy's newest surface ship to our waterfront. USS Michael Murphy is joining a great team here with the finest shore support imaginable. They are coming to a welcoming and supportive community here in Hawaii where they will be greeted with the spirit of aloha and made part of our ohana (family)," Ponds said.
USS Michael Murphy will be welcomed to Hawaii with a traditional Hawaiian blessing on board, a special pier-side tribute by fellow service members, music by the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band, and a performance by local hula halau.
The 9,200-ton Michael Murphy was built by General Dynamics Bath Iron Works. The ship is the 62nd ship in the Arleigh Burke class of Navy destroyers and the last of its class. It is 509 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 59 feet, and has a navigational draft of 31 feet.
USS Michael Murphy will deploy periodically from Hawaii under the Middle Pacific Surface Combatant (MPSC) deployment concept in which Pearl Harbor-based ships are ready to deploy forward in support of operations primarily in the Western Pacific under Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet.
"This new member of our team demonstrates a commitment to rebalance to the Pacific, where we are always ready to operate forward," Ponds said.
The guided-missile destroyer is designed to counter threats from the air and sea, and from aircraft, ships and submarines. USS Michael Murphy is one of the U.S. Navy's most advanced, state-of-the-art warships in the Fleet.

One million Britons were stranded abroad last night by the travel paralysis caused by volcanic ash.
The unprecedented air lockdown was extended until at least 1am tomorrow, with Qantas cancelling all flights to Europe until further notice, and the chaos and confusion will drift well into next week.
British Airways has cancelled all short-haul flights until Monday morning, following the lead of Ryanair which has also cancelled all flights until the start of the week.
Some holidaymakers in Spain were told they face a ten-day wait for a flight home and the delays – coming at the end of the Easter holiday period – intensified problems caused by the massive Icelandic eruption.

Sojourners makes several cases for health-care reform.
One story explores the racial divide on opinions of health-care reform.
Another says, "If Jesus fed 5,000 with only a bit of fish and bread, surely the richest country in the world can take care of its own."
Health-care reform is only one part of the necessary complete restructuring of the economic system.
Sojourners makes a call for immigration fees to be decreased, not increased as proposed, and have hope that Obama will oblige considering as a Senator he introduced legislation to do so.
Sojourners calls for a dismantling of the hyper-connection of church and guns, specifying a situation in Texas.

Coconut oil has hundreds of uses, but we'll focus in on one interesting little benefit. Coconut oil has some antifungal properties. Add to this the fact that it can be used both internally and topically, you have one of the most versatile natural antifungals you can get ahold of. You can use it to replace cooking oils, eat it, add it to beverages and smoothies, and use it on your skin.
Coconut oil contains 3 different fatty acids that have been found to inhibit and kill candida. Caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid all work against fungi, but caprylic acid seems to be the most effective. Use coconut oil directly on the skin and even sensitive areas without worry. This means you can use it to treat vaginal yeast infections or jock itch, to combat athlete's foot, to kill ringworm, and even as a natural diaper area cream. Coconut oil is gentle and effective while conditioning skin and improving the look and feel. It works on many rashes and blemishes too and also makes a very good personal lubricant that happens to be antibacterial at the same time.
Internally, coconut oil is just as easy to use. Stir it into your coffee or tea. Use it to sauté vegetables. Add it to a smoothie. Eat it with a spoon. Swirl it into oatmeal. Include it in a dessert. There are hundreds of ways to get more coconut oil into you where it can fight off fungus in your intestines, reduce inflammation, and supply massive amounts of energy without worrying about weight gain. Despite the high calories of coconut oil, the medium chain triglycerides in this oil are easily burned, increase metabolism, and are not readily stored as fat.
Other Benefits
Coconut oil does much more than fend off unwanted fungi visitors. You will see healthier skin, hair, and nails as you use it more. You may also see your cholesterol levels go down, feel fewer aches and pains, and watch your immune system improve. Make sure you choose non-hydrogenated, extra virgin oil that has not been bleached or treated with chemicals.

Tony Cairoli put all doubts to rest in the Europe vs. America, 350 vs. 450 debates. The Italian was phenomenal as he stretched his points lead in the MX1 championship standings.
The speculation flew all week as to whether MX1 superstar Tony Cairoli would be able to produce wins in America aboard his new KTM 350. The Italian looked fast, but not necessarily trophy material, in qualifying, but the red plate holder put his game face on for Moto 1 and pushed his American counterpart, Mike Alessi, more than expected. Alessi was right on the Italian's rear wheel, but Cairoli held on for the win by a margin of just over one second.
Cairoli led the first 12 laps before Alessi was able to get around for a couple circuits. The #222 bike went back around on Lap 14 and led to the finish. Cairoli's Red Bull KTM teammate, Max Nagl, pushed his way forward into third place on his 450 machine with Ken de Dycker (who finished ninth last weekend at Hangtown) fourth and Clement Desalle fifth.
Josh Coppins was forced to pull out of Moto 1 with mechanical problems after crashing on the opening lap and charging back into the fray. Townley, who was running third off the start, found himself in the same boat as he crashed hard on Lap 5 at the bottom of a big hill, though there is some debate as to whether or not Alessi had anything to do with it. He too was forced to retire.
Apparently Red Bull gives you a little more energy in those long motos than Jagermeister. Alessi fough valiantly, but came up with second overall.
Nagl holeshot to start Moto 2. With temperatures in the low 90s, Alessi and Townley both strapped on hydration systems before the start, knowing full well what the heat and wind can take out of a rider. Something clicked for the Lucas Oil TLD Honda rider and the Kiwi announced to the world that he's back in form with a dominant performance from the minute the gate dropped. Townley ran off to a massive lead of 16 seconds before backing down in the final moments and savoring the win.
It's too bad, really, because the CRF rider missed one hell of a race behind him as Alessi, Cairoli and Desalle waged war over the runner-up position. It was the American who had the advantage early on, leading the trio for the first four Laps. Desalle made a move and was able to hold the position to the checkers, but not by any easy means. Once Alessi slipped to third, his battle for the overall got serious. With Townley untouchable out front, the California resident needed one other rider between himself and the other 350 in order to take the win for the day. Cairoli made the pass and Alessi looked to be finished, but he rallied back, passing Cairoli and eventually Desalle for a brief moment before slipping again. Once Cairoli got around him on Lap 12 he never relinquished it, posting 1-3 moto scores.
"It was nice to win here because it's been a long time since there was a USGP," said Cairoli. "I like to fight with Mike Alessi, one of the best riders over here in the USA. We can improve a lot more, also with the bike, we are working really well and we're very happy. Today everything went perfect, also in the long straight here at Glen Helen where I got the holeshot in the first moto and was in the top six in the second."
Alessi still scored second overall, a disappointment for American fans, perhaps, but the ridiculous racing that took place can't leave any spectators unhappy. Imagine how KTM must feel? The Austrian company, which suffers in the American motocross market, has hit a grand slam with the new 350 machine. The orange factory could not have hoped for a better result with its top European and American riders claiming the top two positions.
"It was a great weekend. I had a lot of fun racing with Tony Cairoli and the rest of the top GP riders," Alessi said. "My KTM was working very well this weekend. It was very good in the corners and on the hills and I got a second place start in the first moto and a third place start in the second. I learned a lot and I had fun."
The Belgian, Desalle, was third with a 5-2 tally, easily finding the final podium step. Xavier Boog and Steve Ramon rounded the top-five overall positions for Kawasaki and Suzuki, respectively. Townley wound up eighth OA, right in front of Kyle Chisholm. The American Motoconcepts Yamaha rider was a solid 10-12 on the day. Nagl, after grabbing the start and running inside the top-five for most of the race, DNF'd on Lap 12.
Ben Townley (above) shocked everyone in Moto
2. He was untouchable. Clement Desalle (below)
held second in the final race to land on the
overall podium.
Ryan Hughes used his ridiculous physical fitness to offset his retirement speed and landed in 17th to start things off. A crash and subsequent 30th in Moto 2 left Ryno in 23rd overall. Considering he normally battles these days with guys who raced in the Veterans' World Cup, that's not too shabby.

Product Description
FERRARI 830305 MEN'S REDREV EVO BLACK CHRONOGRAPH WATCH w/ DATE
The most representative of the vigorously evolved Scuderia Ferrari FW15 collections designed for true team enthusiasts, RedRev Evo gears up competitively with powerful new designs that reflect the trend toward bigger, high-performance watches with sleek ergonomic shapes.
A deep honeycomb texture suggested by the layered structure of a race car's monocoque construction creates new signature excitement. From the dial, this defining texture flows along sides of the large round matte/polished case and continues onto the sculpted link-look silicone straps which sport a contrasting Scuderia Ferrari logo, Scudetto-shaped button/keeper and black ion-plated steel tongue buckle. The 46mm stainless steel or black ion-plated stainless steel case with matching pushers and/or Cavallino-etched crown is topped by a matching or contrasting sport bezel. Race car-inspired design elements in bright team colors or gunmetal gray – a stylized brake-caliper element on the 3-hand models, and a chronograph reflector ring that is color-blocked and scaled to reference a race car's dashboard gauge and rev meter – impart strong, technical character to the textured matte black dials. Chronographs in the winning new Red Rev Evo line are also offered on sculpted link deployment bracelets crafted in stainless steel or black ion-plated stainless steel.

Haacking 2007
You've been forewarned, this is yet another end-of-year slightly self-inflating retrospective blog post (complete with the cheesy meta-blogging introduction).
But this year for me was quite significant and full of big changes. On a personal level, this was the year the agent of my little world domination plan was hatched.
He was tiny then, but six months later, he's gotten quite big. He's remained in the 95^th^ percentile in height for a baby his age.
As much fun as it has been with Cody, he's never taken his devious eye off the prize in keeping with the master plan.
He is not going to be a kid one wants to mess with. I kid you not, he laughs out loud with glee when I whack him with a pillow or pound on his belly with my fists. That's his idea of fun. As I said originally, he's a li'l thug.
In terms of my professional life, it's been quite a whirlwind year. All in the same year, I:
- left a consulting company I co-founded to join Koders.
- cowrote a book.
- left Koders to join Microsoft.
- Beat Scott Hanselman in a Developer Faceoff ;)
Throughout this whole ordeal, my wonderful wife has been most gracious and supportive. Consider the fact that when she was pregnant with Cody, I was working as a co-owner at a startup, often not taking a paycheck so we could pay our employees. That has to be stressful.
Then after one job change, I tell her about this great opportunity and ask her if it is ok to move to Redmond. Her response was immediate. Let's go!What a woman!
Unfortunately once we made that decision, in a wonderful display of synchronicity, the Los Angeles housing market stated a downward spiral. We had zero offers for the first two months of trying to sell our house. It was so bad, in fact, that we decided we would try and rent the house. On the day we had an open house for renters, an offer came just in the nick of time!
So while we close out another year, we're also closing out the Los Angeles era for my family. We really love this town. For one thing, we have some great friends who live here. We're trying to recruit them up to Seattle, but they keep mumbling something about the rain and cold as if it were a bad thing.
Something else we'll miss is the great diverse food here. Many regard the Korean food in L.A. as the best in the world. And the Japanese market and restaurants on Sawtelle have been a staple for us.
I'll particularly miss my pickup soccer crew as well as the league of ex-pros. Lots to love about L.A., but at the same time, we're quite excited about our new adventures and opportunities up in the Seattle area. For example, the opportunity to breathe clean air!
To all who have read this far, I hope 2007 was a good year for you and that 2008 proves to be even better. Happy New Year!


text: Hi I've been using Toastman 1.28.0502 for over 6 months or so and have been very happy with it, especially the QoS features which generally work pretty well. Just lately I've been trying to setup OpenVPN and using selective routing to make sure that only certain source and destination IP addresses go through the VPN, and the rest stays outside. I was intending to use the approach I found here: http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/route-only-specific-ports-through-vpn-openvpn.37240/ I have pasted the script into the WAN UP section, however, my router is rebooting shortly after it has executed this line: # Default behavior: MARK = 1 all traffic bypasses VPN, MARK = 0 all traffic goes VPN iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i br0 -j MARK --set-mark 1 If I disable this line in the script, then it doesn't reboot, but if I then telnet in and execute it manually then sure enough it crashes not long after (it can be up to 30-60s it seems). Does anyone know why this might be, or how I might go about narrowing it down? I've actually tried this on two separate E4200v1s, the first with Toastman 1.28.0502 and today with Toastman 1.28.0503 and in each case I did the 30-30-30 reset before and after installing the firmware and chose the Erase NVRAM option and then reconfigured the router from scratch. What else...I have QoS turned on, but a very simplified set of classifications rather than the default it comes with. Other than that, I have made no other customisations or scripts or anything like that, it's just a standard PPPoE connection. Maybe it's memory? I've around 60 devices connecting to the router ranging from tablets, phones, to Apple TVs and various PCs etc. Regards Oliver

TASIS is a school that understandably boasts of its vision of "international-mindedness," as it is not common to find a school where 61 nationalities are represented in a cohort of 720 students. The spirit of internationalism courses through every TASIS student's blood. It is indeed an incredibly international place when it comes to meeting different nationalities and cultures. However, I never truly realized how eager my schoolmates are to immerse themselves in another country and culture—ready for anything it throws at them—until this Spring Break.
Russia and Singapore have always been on amicable terms in bilateral relations, and I can relate to this on a personal basis. I have gotten along with many of my schoolmates, of many nationalities, including Russia. This Spring Break, a friend of mine from Russia agreed to pay a one-week visit to Singapore after all the praise I had for the country I still call home. I was exhilarated when she agreed to do so, as it was the first time I could show a friend around my own country. We spent weeks prior to the trip preparing and planning the attractions and foods we wanted to visit and taste. I had never been so excited for a trip back home before.
April 10, 2017 • 07:00
"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Changi Airport, Singapore."
My heart felt like bursting out of its chest, and I could not wait to get off the plane and go meet my friend. Jet lag had no effect on me as my excitement kept me well awake. Once I landed, I made a beeline for the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, where my friend was staying. We finally met up, albeit after a 3-hour wait because she overslept—which remains one of the funniest memories of the trip.
|This spirit of internationalism is all the more important in our contemporary pluralistic society, and TASIS teaches us how to be earnest learners of the world.
The next few days consisted of us waking up early in the morning—or at least trying to, if you consider ten in the morning early, not mentioning the time we took to have breakfast—and rushing between attractions, food centers, and shopping malls. From Universal Studios, Sentosa Island, and Gardens by the Bay to Haji Lane, Suntec City Mall, and Orchard Road, we visited my favorite places to hang out, have fun, and unwind in the sometimes-chaotic hustle-and-bustle of Singapore. We even visited places I have never been to before, such as the Gudetama Cafe (a theme cafe named after the famous Japanese Gudetama egg character), the MegaZip at Sentosa (a mega-zipline that goes over the canopy, and sea, in Sentosa), and the Extreme Swing in Clarke Quay. It was pretty ironic that I learned even more about my own country from touring with a supposed "tourist." It was surprising how, through my own tour, I discovered so many new things to do and eat in Singapore. Bringing a Russian friend around my home country, trying the foods from all the different cultures that coexist in it, made me realize how the spirit of internationalism was realized in an environment of multiculturalism.
Her one-week stay flew by in front of our eyes, and soon enough she had to leave for Moscow. We exchanged reluctant goodbyes as I sent her off at the airport. On the one hand, I felt disappointed because I did not get to show her many other fantastic places to eat, while on the other, I was extremely satisfied that I got to show a friend around my country. Knowing that she thoroughly enjoyed her stay made me all the more elated. While in the taxi on the way home after sending her off, it did make me think about how TASIS has truly inculcated the spirit of international-mindedness in us, making us so keen to immerse ourselves in different environments, willing to take whatever crazy tastes and experiences this new cultural environment throws at us. This spirit of internationalism is all the more important in our contemporary pluralistic society, and TASIS teaches us how to be earnest learners of the world. And Angelina, if you are reading this, thank you for the trip of my life. I absolutely loved it. I hope you did too. Next stop this summer: Moscow.

Northwestern basketball co-captain Drew Crawford was named to the Capital One Academic All-America ® First Team, as chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). This is Crawford's second Academic All-America Award after he garnered second team recognition as a junior in 2012.
Including Crawford, eight Northwestern men's basketball players have earned the distinction of Academic All-America. Crawford, a native of Naperville, Illinois, is the fourth member of the NU men's basketball fraternity to receive first-team honors, joining Jim Burns (1967), Mike Campbell (1980), and Shon Morris (1987 & 1988).
A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Crawford graduated from Northwestern in spring 2013 with a 3.31 grade-point average and a degree in economics. With one more season of eligibility available, Crawford remained at NU under first-year head coach Chris Collins and enrolled in the School of Continuing Studies to obtain a master's degree in sports administration. He has excelled in that program, maintaining a 3.9 GPA.
On the court, Crawford is second on NU's all-time scoring list and is among the University's all-time leaders in blocked shots and rebounding. He also played and started more games than any player in program history.

Since their start in 2010, The Jammy Dodgers have been bringing traditional Irish music with a novel twist to the Bay Area and beyond.

Their influences include Skara Brae, The Bothy Band, early De Dannan, Liz Carroll, Planxty, and bohola.
The band has performed at a number of notable events, including the Crossroads Irish-American Festival, the official San Francisco St. Patrick's Day celebration, the Sea Music Festival at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, and the Alameda Celtic Festival. They are regulars at The Plough and Stars in San Francisco, the first home of Irish music in the Bay Area.

Cute Straight Linebacker Diesel Rubs One Out
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Feb.06, 2014, under Straight Fraternity
Diesel is a hot young straight dude. He is an athletic type of guy, and has a lot of experience playing linebacker in high school. He's cute, masculine and attractive, even though he is not quite aware of his sexual appeal.
First off, Diesel takes off his t-shirt and cargo pants. The cameraman notices that Diesel has really hot, muscular and strong legs. Meanwhile, just being naked seems to have been enough for Diesel to get hard and within a few seconds he's already working on his boner. While he's stroking his wood he tells the cameraman about his first time he had sex with a girl. It's obvious he's a bit nervous but this nervousness evaporates quickly as his cock gets harder and harder. The cameraman suggests that he should put on some lube and continue to stroke it.
Diesel devotes some due attention to his balls by grabbing them while he's jacking off like a madman. He even spreads his legs and gives us a good view of his virgin straight asshole. He's heard that it's an interesting sensation when you play with your asshole using your finger, so he experiments with that a little. Well, obviously massaging his asshole has had a more profound effect than he had anticipated and soon enough he shoots his load in an unexpectedly strong orgasmic release.
