I bring it up because the most eager right winger in Hannity's audience was Juan William's son.
I bet he brought up Obamacare at Thanksgiving dinner.

A gigantic "communal latrine" created at the dawn of the dinosaurs has been unearthed in Argentina.
Thousands of fossilised poos left by rhino-like megaherbivores were found clustered together, scientists say.
The 240-million-year-old site is the "world's oldest public toilet" and the first evidence that ancient reptiles shared collective dumping grounds.
... just what we needed .. Triasic poddy stories.

Three people inside the helicopter and five people inside The Clutha were killed after the Police Scotland aircraft came down at 22:30 on Friday.
A further 14 people are being treated for "very serious injuries" in hospitals across the city.

The Russian president was 50 minutes late to meet the Pope on Monday. And papal courtiers were left "shivering" outside as they waited to welcome the Russian president, who was held up by women protesting outside his hotel in support of punk band Pussy Riot, says independent daily Moskovskiy Komsomolets.
The Pope and the Italian press appear to have taken it in their stride. Given his reputation, they probably expected nothing else.
Not so the South Korean media after he kept President Park Geun-hye waiting for 30 minutes during a visit to Seoul earlier in November - particularly as the already late Putin stopped en route to chat with martial arts enthusiasts.
"Mr Putin, be on time next time," fumed a Korea Times headline.
But the liberal Russian website Slon.ru points out the Koreans need not be upset. Being only half an hour late is a "mark of the deepest respect" from Putin.

You will never break through to these people. Never. So don't even try. And "these people" are half the country.
Then how do we win back the country? Simple, do what the Dems do. You know, the folks who oppose voter ID? I would never suggest voter fraud ... after all, that would be illegal, don'tcha know ... but Dale and Wade Rathke could lead us to the Promised Land. They know how it's done, in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. That's all it would take. Three states to restore constitutional governance.
I've never understood trying to win hearts and minds. It. Can't. Be. Done.

The San Diego County District Attorneys Office is prosecuting Juvencio Adame, known locally as Vince, for defacement, damage and destruction in excess of $400 or more after he pruned the shrubbery near his home in July, court records show.
The shrubbery in this case was on city land that abuts property that he owns on Niagara Avenue along a popular surfing area in Ocean Beach. Adame told neighbors he did so because the overgrown shrubbery became a haven for homeless people to sleep and litter.

Almost all the SA countries are now socialist (marist) controlled
Personally, I always thought the Jesuits were the farthest left ... but I never could keep all of those monastical orders sorted out.
... but maybe there's a good analogy there anyway. Between the Leninists, the Trotskyites, the Autonomists, the Gramsciites, the Syndicalists, the Stalinists, the Post-Structuralists, and the Anarchists ... I can't seem to keep the monastical orders of Marxism sorted out either.

Running a business is like too much working for a living and violates the fundamental leftist concept of managing other's lives for them while receiving a nice stipend for providing advice!

It's a long anecdote about how it got to this point, so I will endeavor to keep this short at do my assignment.
Fundamentally I am as of now taking an online secondary school course that I began last October while I had a full-time (40 hours/week) work at an oil-related organization. Amid that time I didn't have much time to do schoolwork so things completed veeeery gradually. In the long run they came up short on work thus I began up my very own business on the web, and I got a considerable lot of schoolwork done amid that time as well, yet at the same time insufficient I assume. Presently the organization I worked for before has more work than they can deal with and I have returned to working for them low maintenance from home.
So now I have two or three months to do 2.5 courses (~6 tests, midterm/finals, and several undertakings each) while keeping my business running and working low maintenance for another person. I am 100% certain that in light of current circumstances I won't have them done.
It's a long anecdote

Jean Giono, a French/Italian author, was working on a story. It was a story about a shepherd who lived up in the mountains and a hiker who met him when he was looking for water.
Giono worked on that story for twenty-three years, and in the end it was only seven pages long. It's the story of Elzéard Bouffier who, after the death of his wife and son, moved to the mountains, and over a period of fifty years planted hundreds of thousands of trees. He began planting trees, he said, because the land was dying for want of trees, and he had nothing more important to do.
The publisher didn't like the story because it was fiction. It was based on actual people and events, but it wasn't journalism or biography. It was just a story. Since his publisher didn't want it, Giono gave up the copyright, so whoever wanted to print it or tell it or turn it into a movie or a song could do so. And today countless people around the world have been touched and inspired by the classic tale of the man who planted trees.
Evening was approaching, and when he asked me if I needed a place to stay for the night, I gratefully accepted. We gathered his sheep and walked to his cabin in a steep valley.
After dinner, the Shepherd left the room and returned with a small sack. He dumped the contents – about two hundred acorns – out on the table. He scrutinized each one carefully and sorted them into piles. He discarded all with cracks. Through this process he eventually ended up with ten piles of ten acorns each. He placed this carefully selected piles of acorns into a bucket of water, then showed me to a corner where I unrolled by blanket and made my bed for the night.
The next day, he invited me to join him as he walked to the top of a nearby ridge. He carried an iron staff the thickness of my thumb and about shoulder height in length. As we reached the top of the ridge, the Shepherd began poking his staff into the ground, making small holes about two inches deep. Into each he placed one of his carefully selected acorns. He was planting trees.
I asked if this was his land. It was not – he did not know who owned it. Perhaps it was common land, or owned by the parish. It did not matter to him. With the same care with which he seemed to do everything, he planted one hundred acorns.
At midday, he returned to his home for lunch. Afterward, he again sorted out one hundred acorns.
When I told him that in thirty years his ten thousand oaks would be a magnificent forest, he responded by saying that if God granted him health, in thirty years these ten thousand oaks would be but a drop in the ocean.
The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how.
Jesus didn't give us a timetable for the coming of the kingdom of God, nor did he provide a blueprint or a constitution to tell us what he meant by the kingdom, reign, rule, realm, or empire of God. Instead of answers, we get stories about shepherds and farmers – and these parables are incredibly short and rich and frustrating.
Who is this gardener who scatters seed on the ground, and then nothing is mentioned about watering or weeding or keeping the rabbits or chip munks away? Is God the gardener or Jesus? Or are the followers of Jesus the gardeners who sow seeds of mercy trusting that every small act will bear fruit? Or are the followers of Jesus the soil in which the seed of God's word takes root and flourishes into a harvest of life? Is the kingdom of God like a gardener who slept through the growing season but wakes up for the harvest?
"We have so little to do with Christ's nearness to us," says Wendy Farley, "that we can just go to sleep. In fact, it might be better if we did sleep through the whole thing, snug and safe, resting like babies in our mothers' arms."
I imagine the man who planted trees slept like a baby every night. And he didn't go back day after day, anxious to see how the acorns were doing. He just got up every morning and went out to poke holes in the soil and plant seeds, because he had nothing more important to do.
We can enter the parable imagining ourselves to be gardeners, seed, or soil, and each door takes us into a different story that is still the same parable. Martin Luther clearly saw himself as a sower when he said, "I simply taught, preached, and wrote God's Word; otherwise I did nothing. And while I slept or drank Wittenberg beer with my friends Philip and Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that no prince or emperor ever inflicted such losses on it. I did nothing; the Word did everything." But Luther was also able to see his life as the soil in which the seed of God's Word took root and bore fruit, grace upon grace.
Parables resist complete explanation. They just won't sit still long enough so we can turn them into simple one-liners that can be embroidered on a couch pillow or printed on a mug. Parables don't offer answers that settle things, but rather point us back, again and again, to the one who speaks the word to us with many such stories that keep us wondering. They point us to Jesus whose life and cross unsettle the status quo and inaugurate the kingdom.
"With what can we compare the kingdom of God," Jesus asks, "or what parable will we use for it?"
And he wanders the whole realm of nature, teeming with lion and eagle, bull and bear, gladly offering themselves as symbols of power and might. The oak stands in quiet strength, and the cedar looks as if it knew the beautiful lines from Ezekiel who spoke of the great empires as mighty trees:
Say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his troops: With whom do you compare in your greatness? Consider Assyria, a cedar of Lebanon: beautiful branches, forest shade, towering height; indeed, its top went up between the clouds. Waters nourished it, the deep raised it up, making its rivers flow around the place it was planted, sending forth its streams to all the trees of the field. So it towered high above all the trees of the field; its boughs grew large and its branches long, from abundant water in its shoots. All the birds of the air made their nests in its boughs; all the animals of the field gave birth to their young under its branches; and in its shade all great nations lived. It was beautiful in its greatness and in its lush foliage; for its roots went down to abundant water. The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it, nor the fir trees equal its boughs; the plane trees were as nothing compared with its branches; no tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.[1]
The same Ezekiel dared to dream of God planting a tender shoot on Israel's mounainous highlands, and how it would send out branches and bear fruit. How it would grow into a mighty cedar, and birds of every kind would nest in it and find shelter in the shade of its boughs. "Then all the trees in the countryside will know that I, the Lord, bring down the tall tree and raise up the lowly tree, and make the green tree wither and the dry tree bloom. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it."[2]
Throughout Israel's history, any story that mentioned trees with birds in them was a story of hope that in the end God's kingdom would prevail over the empires of Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Rome or any other empire.
"With what can we compare the kingdom of God," asks Jesus, "or what parable will we use for it?"
And he returns from his walk through nature and Scripture and talks about – mustard. Disappointed? There's nothing mighty or majestic about mustard. Yes, it has medicinal properties and it is useful for flavoring and preserving food. But the mustard plant is a garden pest, and no one would sow it on purpose. It grows all too readily on its own, and once it appears, it takes over first the field, then the farm, and then the whole county. The mustard plant starts as a proverbially small seed and grows into a shrub of three or four feet, or even higher; and it tends to take over where it is not wanted. It's fast-growing, drought-resistant, and impossible to control.
"With what can we compare the kingdom of God," asks Jesus, "or what parable will we use for it?"
And he talks about mustard, an invasive weed. Mustard grows just about anywhere, not just on the hights of Lebanon or the hills of Rome or by the great rivers of Egypt or Babylon. The kingdom of God is like this annual plant that perpetuates itself with tiny seeds.
As people who seek to live in the kingdom Jesus proclaimed, we do small things and lots of them, acts of kindness and compassion that may seem utterly insignificant in the grand scheme of global politics, but Jesus tells us, "You're scattering seed on the ground, friends. What you're doing may be as common as mustard, but it's also as resilient."
We plant kingdom seeds because we have nothing more important to do. And God's kingdom is like a weed that finds the tiniest crack in the concrete and it grows and nothing can stop it. It grows until the birds of the air make nests in its shade, and the nations find peace under its branches.

She had also written to the authorities, presenting her case and fearing threats to her life and family members, as she exposed the bishop. Police however said that there are a lot of contradictions in the case and these have to be ironed through a thorough investigation.

When I started to post about the Keller family of Knox and Morrow County, Ohio, I did not realize that the whole process would take me over a year to do. I started in January 2014 and have now reached the end of my posts for this family. This does not mean I am done, just means it is time to move on to another family and finish up the Spracklins.
To make it easy for Keller family descendants, I have created a Page at the top of this blog listing the posts written covering my study of John Keller's origins. This will make it easy to review and find them by either using the search box (topic) or the archives box (month and year) on the right side of this blog.
Here is the title of the PAGE:
Seeking the Origins of John Keller, Possibilities…
In the post I wrote on February 22, 2015, I did a summary of the written posts about the children of John and Mary Keller. In reviewing the children's lives I saw a trend to the United Brethren church and starting looking for sources and this opened the door to my finding the obituary notice for John Keller in the United Brethren Newspaper. So the children might yet open the door to John's origins.
Here is that post:
The End of Mary (Delano) Keller's life and a Summary of their Children, written on February 22, 2015.
I am a little hesitant to write any conclusions about my study of John Keller's origins. I don't want to say something and then get that stuck in someone's brain thinking I am right or taking my theories as the truth. I encourage you all to study what I have written.
At this point the research on John Keller's origins is still open to all kinds of possibilities and the research continues.
I like to encourage Keller descendants to review and read past Keller posts and come to their own conclusions and give some thoughts to possible research goals.
Please feel free to make a comment or a suggestion but do so at the comments section of the PAGE on Keller that I have created above. This way, all can see your thoughts. Here is the page title which is at the top of this blog.

It is a liquid that has a sweet taste but it is without colour & odour whilst being a viscous liquid. PG is water-soluble & is perceived as being non-toxic if ingested.
Some people are allergic to PG, however, it is "Generally Recognised as Safe" by the FDA (US Food & Drug Administration). PG is a humectant, something that is used to keep things moist. Because PG has anti-microbial / anti-fungal properties, it can be used as a preservative & is. Some of the items you will find PG in include: Cleansers, fragrances, gels & shaving creams.
Vegetable Glycerin is a clear liquid carbohydrate & more viscous than PG. It is odourless & produced from plant oils such as: Coconut, Palm & Soy. It is often used as a sweetener & can be produced from vegetable oil directly.
VG or Vegetable Glycerin is used in food industries, it has less calories than sugar & also absorbs moisture's from the air. You can find VG in all types of foods as it helps preserve products by keeping them moist & also reduces natural sugar levels in food due to being used as a sweetener. We cannot offer medical advice & this information on PG & VG is a guide only.
The VG is basically the part that thickens the vapour & increases the plume of smoke you create. PG will dilute an e-liquid & create a harsher throat hit. PG e-liquids will be thinner & the more VG used makes e-liquid thicker in appearance.
The VG gives a smooth or lite throat hit & the PG gives a stronger throat hit. The VG gives a better plume of smoke but can make a liquid low in throat hit pleasure. Distilled or de-ionised water is an option to thin VG e-liquid if you don't like or want PG in your base mix.
The nicotine will also make a stronger throat hit the higher it is in strength. Therefore, it is possible to get a good throat hit from a 100% VG base mix but we do not advise adding more nicotine than you would normally use, just to achieve a better throat hit.
If you are using a CE4 or CE5 eGo Vaping Kit or similar eCig starter kit, you may find that 100% VG mixes or high content VG mixes are too thick for your device. You may also find that the more VG you vape, the better the battery or device should be as certain batteries are variable voltage which helps to heat a thicker liquid.
Depending on what you prefer regarding a good plume of smoke vs a good throat hit, you should consider that a 100% VG eliquid base mix will clog up inexpensive or cheap eCigs, atomizers & clearomizers. If you are just starting out on your electronic smoking journey & have little preference to what your e-liquid base mix is, then you should consider a 50/50 mix of PG & VG. This will allow you to move up or down the scales of VG & PG whilst having a starting point to compare to.
"Dripping" is a term used by advanced vapers, put simply, they place drops of eliquid onto open coil atomizers then close the unit up to vape. This is unlike a tank that most people are getting used to that holds a certain quantity of eliquid. 100% VG mixes or 85%VG / 15% Distilled or De-ionised Water mixes are common for people to use when dripping or sub ohm vaping.

Screensavers of bird with pocket watch
Animated bird with pocket watch screensaver
This beautiful red bird has a pocket watch in its beak. This watch tells you the correct time so that you are never late for your appointments. The bird is on a branch of a tree in a forest which is part of the landscape at the background of the image. This bird has a very striking red plumage. As is so fast and agile, he don't need to hide or go unnoticed because it is not easily caught by predators of the forest. Perhaps he has taken that watch some passer and has stayed with him. He shows you the time from a tree.

It is important that kids like the party which they are going to attend. For that, it is required to ensure that all the events which are organized at the party are liked by the kids joining over there. A number of factors will affect the way the party will be moving ahead and making the kids engaged with the content which is delivered to them.
Kids should find it highly engaging to be at the party. This gives them a chance to contribute to the party and give their creative content to the people who are attending the party. Even they can explore the events which are intended to be organized for the party which will help in making the party more enthusiastic and creative for those kids who are visiting the party.
Role of London entertainers for the party
The prime role which entertainer has to play is to manage the party so that each and every kid who is going to attend the party explores the content which is to be delivered. For that, it is required that the content which is designed is in a proper manner by knowing the likings of the kids who are going to attend the party. Their interest levels will highly govern the way the party will get the engagement from those kids.
Entertainers are given the training to manage a particular kind of party. It will help them to know the things which are to be taken care of while managing the party. Even they can handle any of the unlikely events which might arise at the party. These will include disturbance in the normal delivery of the creative art, unavailability of the person who is going to deliver the content, and so on.
It is also important that during the party, one can identify the likings of the individual who is attending the party. This will provide insights into the way a party is moving ahead and how the flow of the party is taking place. Based on the likings of the individual one can change the content which is delivered at the party and the way content is delivered.
What if I don't hire the entertainers for my party?
Without entertainers, the sole responsibility of managing the party will come over to the organizer. They must ensure that party is running in a smooth manner without facing any kind of hinderance in the same. This will increase their responsibility and also raise a burden on them to properly manage the party.
In a majority of the cases, the organizer of the party is not experienced enough in handling the party properly. Finally, it will lead to problems getting raised at the party which needs to be solved at the earliest for smooth movement of the party ahead.
Thus, we can say that it is required to have the best party London entertainers for your party to ensure that it is highly engaging in nature. Entertainers will help in managing all the events which are organized at the party and the way they are delivered to the kids who are attending the party.

2020 HOUSING VISION: A Commonwealth whose every citizen has a safe, decent, energy-efficient, affordable place to live.
Kentucky Habitat for Humanity announced the launch of 2020 HOUSING VISION, a three-year, multi-partner, collaborative affordable housing initiative by HOUSING PROVIDERS WORKING TOGETHER to improve the lives of Kentuckians in need of which Help Build Hope is one of the founding partners.
The project was announced during a press conference and rally for affordable housing in the Kentucky State Capitol Rotunda February 5, 2018.
"2020 HOUSING VISION is a call to action for Kentuckians," said 2020 HOUSING VISION Director, Mindy Shannon Phelps. "It's a call for ADVOCACY, COMPASSION and CONSTRUCTION of affordable housing not just for some, but for all our neighbors in need."
2020 HOUSING VISION was launched because THE NEED IS SO GREAT – one in four Kentucky families faces the threat of poverty housing. One quarter of the state's 4.4 million residents need help. U.S. Census data indicates more than a million people - nearly 1.2 million Kentuckians – do not have access to affordable housing.
For Kentucky's children, the reality is especially dire. While one of every five children in the United States lacks adequate resources and lives in poverty, in Kentucky, it's one in every four.
2020 HOUSING VISION was launched by Kentucky Habitat for Humanity in collaboration with dozens of affordable housing advocates - supporters and providers – who have joined together because they know there is greater STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
"Kentucky Habitat for Humanity believes in the power of partnership," said Kentucky Habitat Board President and 2020 HOUSING VISION Chairman Lyle S. Hanna. "No single housing provider can eliminate poverty housing. But working together, we can do more than has ever been accomplished before."
2020 HOUSING VISION was launched in 2018 and will continue through 2020. The project partners hope to establish a sustainable MODEL OF COLLABORATIVE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING development that can be implemented anywhere.

Master of the Lens
Salvador Carrasco is walking along the west side of campus heading towards Pearl Street to loop around to his office in the Letters and Science building. He's about to launch into the story of his decision to become a professional filmmaker, but first he has to get rid of a package. He weaves through the construction maze alongside the Math Complex and makes his way to the Liberal Arts building, where he finds a mailbox to put the package in. For the time being, it is out of his hands.
"I'm not one of those cases," he says, "There are many such cases, that tell you that when they were five-years-old they had a little video camera and they filmed their clay toys and they did their little home movies. I wasn't one of those."
For those who don't know, Carrasco is the writer and director of "The Other Conquest," a film about the Spanish subjugation of Mexico told from an Aztec point of view. It was the highest grossing film in Mexico at the time of its release. It is Carrasco's crown jewel, a feat of seven years that won him international acclaim.
Locally, Carrasco is responsible for spearheading the Associate degree program for Film Production, approved only three weeks ago and set to officially start fall of this year. The program has already started off strong. The short film "Solidarity," which has already won best drama at the San Diego Film Festival and played at countless festivals, including the famous Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France, was one of the first major projects that resulted from efforts to create the AA degree.
Instead of clay models, Carrasco harbored interests in astronomy and art history growing up. In Mexico it is customary to choose a profession right after high school, so he chose film because it meant he could incorporate his myriad interests into a career.
After attending the National Autonomous University of Mexico for a year, Carrasco transferred to Bard College in upstate New York. While at Bard, Carrasco applied to New York University film school, in search of a scholarship, which NYU didn't administer to international students at the time. As a testament to his will, Carrasco told NYU to create a scholarship for him. Eventually they did, and he graduated two years later with a degree in film and television studies.
It was during his time at NYU that the idea for "The Other Conquest," the film began to ferment.
"I think when you are living away from home, there is this tendency to become a little bit more interested in the affairs back home. That happens to many of us foreigners. Sort of the James Joyce syndrome," he said. "I started thinking more of Mexico and its history, probably [more] than if I had been living in Mexico at the time. And I came up with this idea for this foundational story for modern Mexico."
"The Other Conquest" took Carrasco seven years to complete. Filming was conducted "piecemeal:" filming would occur for a week before running out of money, and then a long period of fundraising would keep production occupied for up to a year and a half.
Carrasco began his teaching career at SMC in 2002 with a class he still teaches today, Film 7, "representation of ethnic minorities in cinema," or how it's listed in the books: American Cinema: Crossing Cultures. He has taught directing at the University of Southern California, screenwriting at Pomona College and headed the advanced directing program at Los Angeles Film School, but his favorite place has always been SMC.
"Once I was doing location scouting in Arizona, and I actually took a plane back to do my Tuesday class and then I flew back the following day because it really mattered to me, and I even felt I needed it psychologically, spiritually," he says.
The new AA degree has meant the addition of classes like cinematography and Film 33, aka Directing the Short Film, which has produced a number of key films since its inception, including "Solidarity."
"As far as I'm concerned there's no sense of entitlement here," Carrasco said. "Most students come to class for the right reasons, there's remarkable work ethic and most students acknowledge what you're doing for them and give back a lot."
Carrasco finds that the scripts students write for class come from a real place, versus students he encountered at USC, whose scripts seemed to emulate what other movies had done.
"We're managing to combine a very high level of craft with the truly remarkable stories that our students have to tell given their background," he says.
The program, he hopes, will give students more than enough training in the film industry to have a comfortable career, at least in the beginning. When industry friends call, Carrasco sends his students to help out.
"I don't feel like I came up with anything new, I just feel like I found a home," he says.
For Dustin Brown, director and writer of "Solidarity," Carrasco convinced Elpidia Carrillo, an long-time friend from his "Other Conquest" days and marquee name from titles such as "Predator" and "The Border," to take on the lead role in the short.
"It really took us to another level," Brown says. "That was a huge deal."
Brown has known Carrasco for many years and consulted with him on different projects.
"Very often [friends and family] will tell you how good [your film] is," Brown says. "That doesn't really help you. Carrasco has always been very open about his criticism."
Brown finds the biggest thing Carrasco has taught him is to stay open to new ideas and heed a strong vision.
"I've learned that working together it will make all the difference in the end of the film," Brown says.
"To me success has to do with your passion, your work ethic, your attitude, and your talent," Carrasco says. "The great thing about those four is that they come regardless of social class or background or how much your parents have or don't have."
Right now, Carrasco is slated to direct a film about a fascist coup d'etat against Franklin D. Roosevelt that involved major corporations and made the cover of Time Magazine in its time.
And much like his films and what he is creating at SMC, "it's not really an end, it's a beginning." It's in his hands.

Father's Day Gift Ideas
by: Tabitha Black and Victoria Uhurich
Whether biological or not, the lucky ones among us had great loving fathers raise us. With fathers day right around the corner, we begin to reflect on all the great things our fathers taught us and look back on the wonderful memories we shared. Father's day however is difficult for some, us included, when it comes to finding the perfect gift for the man that raised us and loved us all these years. Well today we've put our heads together to find some great gift ideas for that special man in our lives. We hope this helps those that don't just want to buy dad another tie he'll probably never wear. (All products show can be purchased and wrapped at Panache!)
For The Traveler
Whether he travels for pleasure or work, your dad will enjoy this handy and beautiful passport case and picture frame. Include a picture of the family for him to take with him to either take on his travels or to set in his office as a reminder of the wonderful places y'all have explored together. For a special touch, write a special not on the back of the picture reminding him how much you care for and love him.
For The Bearded Dad
He styles his awesome beard to perfection everyday, and some days it may get a little rough looking. Instead of hinting for him to completely get rid of the beard, give him this awesome gift set complete with bread oil, facial cleaner, shaving cream brush, and a "got beard" koozie. He'll love it, and you'll love seeing his bread groomed and looking sharp.
The Dad On The Go
Does your dad work hard and run place to place for work, or play? Get him a SIC cup from Panache, and customize it with his name for favorite team logo for a personal touch! (Its like a yetti cup, but has already been dipped and has a lid that can close so it's perfect for having his coffee to go on a crazy morning! Add in this leather bound journal to inspire him as well as give him a handy place to take notes during his hectic day.
The Business Man
Your dad is all business in his office and would probably enjoy having something to make it feel a little warmer. What better gift than this handsome clock and geode bookends? Selected with care by those he loves, these striking and masculine pieces would be the perfect accessories for his office space.
The Handy Man
Your dad can pretty much fix anything, or at least he tries to! He shows his love by working with his hands, and this gift is to give some love back to his hands. This hand healer by Jack Black smells great and will help heal those dry callused hands. Chap stick, so he can sooth those sunburned lips this summer, and nourishing oil for those places on his skin that are looking pretty bad. Add in a wallet clip for an easy wallet for him to keep up with as he works hard for the family (complete with a pocket perfect for a family picture).
We hope this helps you find a fantastic gift tailored for the man your fathers are. Show them some love this fathers day and remind them how much better your life has been having them in it. We are the lucky ones.
Now until Father's Day- ALL Jack Black is Buy 1 Get One FREE!!!
Hurry in before they're all gone!

Everybody leads with al-Qaida's shrinking real-estate holdings in Tora Bora. The United States has dropped a "withering" 400 bombs on the area over the past two days, providing stirring support for anti-Taliban forces on the ground, according to the Los Angeles Times. " 'Surrounded' probably is not a terribly good word," U.S. Gen. Tommy Franks says in the New York Times, "but the view of the opposition leaders on the ground is that this al-Qaida force is contained in that area." And yet the suspense continues to build and the $64,000 question remains: Where, exactly, is Osama Bin Laden?
There's one cave in particular that has captured the imaginations of Afghan fighters on the ground. "We found it, we see it, and we're trying to reach it," an anti-Taliban commander says in the LAT. That's where he, and others like him, believe Osama Bin Laden is hiding. Yet Tommy Franks remains noncommittal. "You see all sorts of conflicting information," he says in the NYT. "So it's probably not a good idea to say with some certainty where he is. But we know where our current fight is, and that's in the Tora Bora area."
The papers agree that al-Qaida doesn't have a lot left—the Washington Postuses the phrase "last stand." The paper reports that there are sharp divisions within the terrorist group: Some ("as many as 300") want to surrender, while others seem prepared to fight to the death. Indeed, it is the intensity of the fighting that has lead some anti-Taliban commanders to conclude that Bin Laden is in the area. "They're fighting as if they're protecting something very important," says one senior U.S. military officer, in the NYT.
If he is where we think he is, can he still escape? It depends whom you ask. Anti-Taliban forces are about a "three-hour walk" from the mountain ridge held by al-Qaida, according to the Post. A heavily forested mountain plan lies on the other side of that ridge. "Ten thousand people could go into that forest and you could never find them," says one Afghan commander. "They cannot escape. The mujahideen have blocked the road," says another. U.S. forces are reportedly patrolling the Pakistani border as well.
Incidentally, we know that the otherwise-invisible U.S. Special Forces and/or Delta Force soldiers are engaged in the battle in the mountains because of the "tell-tail trail of piles of plastic Poland Spring mineral water bottles" they leave behind, according to the NYT lead.
Asked if he wanted Bin Laden captured or killed, President Bush said, "I don't care. Dead or alive, either way. I mean, it doesn't matter to me." The quote appears in all three papers.
"A new form of Israeli counterterrorism" resulted in the arrests of 18 Palestinian militants and the killing of eight, a NYT fronter reports. "Stealthy" troops raided four West Bank cities before dawn on Friday, overwhelming "astonished" Palestinian security personnel. All this happened as Israeli warplanes resumed bombing in the Gaza Strip. This escalation of Israeli might comes in response to the killing of 10 Israelis by Palestinian gunmen on Wednesday.
A smart analysis of the gap in income between the wealthiest Americans and "everyone else"—a level of inequality higher than in any other industrialized nation—finds its way onto the NYT art pages. Some numbers from the 90s boom economy suggest that those good old days weren't so hot for most of us. "Forty-seven percent of the total real income gain between 1983 and 1998 accrued to the top 1 percent of income recipients, 42 percent went to the next 19 percent, and 12 percent accrued to the bottom 80 percent," writes the author of a book called Top Heavy. "There is no doubt that market forces have spoken in favor of more inequality," says a Harvard economist. What is to be done? Depends whom you ask. "The question is whether you lean against the wind of the market to try to preserve decent living standards for working and poor people," says the Harvard guy. The split is about what you'd expect: Conservative economists say let's leave well enough alone, while liberals want to lend a helping hand.
It's liar, liar, pants on fire at Notre Dame, which accepted on Friday the resignation of the football coach they'd hired on Sunday, one George O'Leary. If that's really his name. According to a NYT fronter, O'Leary had, over the years, told at least two whoppers that were included in the media guides of the various teams he coached. Notre Dame included the misinformation in its press release welcoming O'Leary from Georgia Tech. The lies? First, that he had lettered in football three times at the University of New Hampshire (he was never on the team), and second, that he had earned a master's degree in education from NYU (he had not). Upon hearing of the UNH fib, ND officials stood by their man, at first refusing his resignation. But when asked if he might have uttered any other untruths, O'Leary admitted that he'd never set foot in Washington Square, and that was that. Now ND is really screwed: They'd rushed to hire O'Leary because recruitment season ends in February. Now they have no one.

Children Take On Their Asthma
Chicago Tribune profiles a community action program spearheaded by Northwestern
While about 10 percent of children in the U.S. suffer from asthma, minorities across Chicago have long been shown to be disproportionately affected by the disease.
Now Chicago school children are learning how to control their asthma thanks to a Northwestern University program funded by the American Lung Association.
Ruchi Gupta, a pediatrician at the Feinberg School of Medicine, spearheaded the education and action project.
"These kids didn't know they had a voice, (that) they could actually use it to make a change," Gupta said.
In the program, students learn about common triggers for asthma attacks and how to educate their own community about the disease.

A significant amount of U.S. troops currently stationed in Syria will be withdrawn from the country by April following President Trump's December announcement that the war against ISIS in the region was largely won, according to a report.
The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday that senior U.S. officials confirmed that a large portion of the around 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in Syria will leave the country by the end of next month.
A Turkish official added to Reuters that the U.S. has not indicated to allies in the region yet when a troop withdrawal in Syria will be completed.
"What we know is that so far there is no withdrawal, and the situation on the ground is unchanged. There is no discussion to set any date or time ceiling (for a withdrawal)," a member of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the U.S.-aligned alliance of Syrian militant groups working against ISIS, told Reuters.
The news comes a month after an official for the SDF told Reuters that coalition forces were assaulting the last Islamic State-held stronghold in Syria.
"They are living the final moments and realize that this battle is the battle to eliminate them," Mustafa Bali, head of SDF's media office, told Reuters in January.
The president announced in a December video message that U.S. troops would be "coming home now" due to success against ISIS and other militant groups in the country. The decision is reported to have led to the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis and Brett McGurk, the administration's envoy to coalition forces.
His decision shocked many in Washington at the time, including Republicans on Capitol Hill who warned that the move would endanger hard-fought gains in the region.
"They're all coming back and they're coming back now. We won, and that's the way we want it and that's the way they want it," Trump said last year.

Sky Blanket was selected by Winnipeg Art Gallery curator Jaimie Isaac for the exhibition Boarder X. However, while this exhibition will travel from the MacKenzie Art Gallery, to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, to the Art Gallery of Alberta, and to the Audain Museum of Art (2018-2020), the original Sky Blanket was returned to Meghann's home community in September 2018 for use in ceremony.
We used photogrammetry and 3D scanning to produce a digital model and animation representing Sky Blanket that is taking the place of the original blanket in the exhibition. Wrapped in the Cloud is currently on display at the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton.
Please see our most recent article Wrapped in the Cloud: A Conversation with Meghann O'Brien and Conrad Sly in the 50th Anniversary Issue of BC Studies.
Please see Meghann O'Brien's catalogue "Interface: The Woven Art of Meghann O'Brien" published by the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art. It includes an essay by Kate Hennessy and Hannah Turner titled 'Wrapped in the Cloud: Working Together at the Interface".
This project is currently in development and we will update this page soon with more information.
About Meghann O'Brien (website)
Meghann O'Brien is a Northwest Coast weaver working in the traditions of basketry, Yeil Koowu (Raven's Tail) and Naaxiin (Chilkat) textiles. She is descended from the Kwakwaka'wakw village of Weḵa'yi T'sakwa'lutan (Cape Mudge), the village of Kiusta, Haida Gwaii, and Dublin, Ireland. Her name in the Kwakwala language is Kwaxhi'laga-"Smoke Coming Out of the Top of the Big House, Welcoming People to Feast and Potlatch". In the Haida language she carries the name of her maternal great grandmother Ruby Simeon: Jaad Kuujus-"Deer Woman". Meghann has apprenticed under master weavers and traditional teachers Kerri Dick, Sherri Dick, and William White. Her artistic process is one of devotion to the highest expression of the art form, preferring to allow the weaving to find it's own place in the world once completed. Her work is distributed between public and private galleries, museums, collectors, family, chiefs, dancers, and ceremonial people. She travels globally to lecture and demonstrate.

Renewing Permits VS Initial Permits
In general, you must complete an initial application the first time you want a permit for a vessel, e.g., an Atlantic tunas permit. After receiving an initial permit, you must complete a renewal application to renew it. Even if a previous owner of the vessel held a permit, you (as the new owner) must still obtain an initial permit. If you previously held a permit for your current vessel, even if the permit has expired, you may renew that permit. The following situations describe what you need to do if you are permitting a vessel that had been owned by another person(s) or organization:
- If the vessel was previously owned by another
person who never had a permit for the vessel, you should apply
for the permit as an initial applicant.
- If the vessel was previously owned by another
person who had an Atlantic tunas permit or an Atlantic Highly
Migratory Species (HMS) permit for his/her vessel your
application needs to be processed through Customer Service. It is
extremely important that you call Customer Service to maintain
the permit history for your vessel. Exit the On-line Permit Shop
and call 1-888-872-8862. Customer Service is available during the
week from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. Make sure that your vessel's
previous permit number is available if you know it.
- If the Vessel was previously owned by another person and you're not certain if that person had a permit for the vessel, you should apply for a permit as an initial applicant. The system will check the database to see if the vessel has been permitted in the past. If it has, you will need to exit the On-line Permit Shop and contact Customer Service at 1-888-872-8862. This is extremely important to maintain the permit history for the vessel.

We are witnessing the mainstream arrival of transgender, genderqueer, and other gender diverse people. Along with this surge in awareness have come questions from so many who want help understanding new terms, new ways of thinking about gender, and much more. But, to understand society's newfound recognition, we must ask, what is gender (identity)?
Most of us are usually taught that we have a continuous and clear sense of our internal gendered self as either male or female that coheres in early childhood. While many people may experience this, many others do not. Gender is a category of personhood that common knowledge tells us is innate and connected to biology (anatomy, hormones, chromosomes, etc.). Some, however, distinguish between gender and sex, claiming that sex has to do strictly with biology and gender with socialization or individual identity.
The way we use the term gender (identity) is relatively new and dates back to the mid-1900s. Confronted with the failure of the medical establishment to develop meaningful guidelines for deciding how to surgically or hormonally alter the bodies of intersex infants (those born with configurations of primary and secondary sex characteristics that cannot be categorized as either male or female), a couple of medical professionals decided to rely on people's preferred gender role, which later came to be referred to more broadly as gender identity. The way we use the term gender (identity) stems from how medical professionals treated persons with non-binary bodies, and this concept was then extended and theorized based on those whose pleasures, characteristics, affects, and thoughts could similarly not be used as grounds for placement within the clear bounds of binary gender.
It was believed that it was easier to change androgynous people to fit dominant standards of humanity than it would be to change dominant standards of humanity to include androgyny.
After the idea of a stable gender identity became more widely accepted among physicians, alongside the technological advancements in aesthetic surgery and endocrinology, more people began to strategically make use of this narrative in order to pursue medical gender self-determination. People choose to medically transition for a number of reasons: to externally affirm an internal feeling of gender, to achieve increased safety in public because of a history of violence against androgynous people, to seriously experiment with new ways of being, to personally and politically resist gender norms, and much more.
Gender and sex are two separate things, correct? Many are now parroting the trope "Gender is social, sex is biological," taking complex, abstracted concepts that are inextricably linked in historical thought and parsing them out based on current – and much debated – cultural distinctions between mind/body, nurture/nature, and more. As I briefly outlined above, our use of the word gender is relatively new and was distinguished from the term sex not long ago. All this happened in the theoretical and medical milieu of European and United States male professionals who worked to coerce intersex bodies into passing as binary sexed bodies for the purposes of inserting them into a strictly heterosexual role. It was believed that it was easier to change androgynous people to fit dominant standards of humanity than it would be to change dominant standards of humanity to include androgyny.
These ideas of the two sexes as distinct opposites are also historically and culturally particular. Across time, many different cultures have had their own ideas of how the sexes related; some saw men, women, third, and fourth genders existing across a "one-sex continuum" or in specific roles while others have seen the sexes as blended and each containing features of masculinity and femininity while still others have seen the sexes as mutually necessary and complementary. At this point in time, many see men and women as complete opposites and that these differences are based in biology, despite other scientific narratives that portray human men and women as the most genetically proximate creatures to one another on the entire planet. There is also new research that shows that the notion of "male brains" and "female brains" creates a false divide, and that no single brain is fully male or female, but that everyone's mind has a diversity of functions and features, making each person cognitively androgynous to one degree or another.
Confronting ambiguity, hybridity, and androgyny with hospitality is not our strong suit; culturally, many in the Euro-American West are made incredibility uncomfortable when operating outside of binary and hierarchical frameworks. I can see that when people are confronted with androgyny or gender ambiguity, all the unconscious messages of gender flood into our conscious thought as we struggle to acknowledge just how immensely our perceptions of gender shape our thoughts and interactions with another person. Additionally, because gender is lived in social and relational settings, how we interact with others based on assumptions of gender also shapes how we see ourselves. Policing gender ambiguity in others is also about policing gender ambiguity in ourselves.
With this understanding, I must state that I firmly believe that people ought to have the right to gender self-determination. I also believe just as firmly that we should question the very terms of that self-determination, not to limit people's options, but rather, to expand them. This self-determination may appear as a desire to access medical transition, to socially transition genders, to change one's clothing and affect, to engage in study and reflection, to resist relational expectations in day-to-day interactions, or it may not even be recognizable to others at all.
It is my sincere hope that the questions and thoughts offered here can come closer to the fore of our increased awareness of gender diversity and self-determination. I say this as someone whose life has been immensely shaped by gendered expectations and my resistance to them; it can be challenging to discuss because these issues are charged and because many people have had to struggle through much adversity just to be able to stake a claim to a sense-of-self that will be recognized and respected. It is with this in mind that I ask that we all make space to delve a bit deeper into these questions, so that practices of being and becoming do not have to be so constricted or policed by those who benefit the most from norms and expectations of binary gender and sex.

This is the day that the Lord has made!
8:30 a.m. Thursday, we all gathered at my still empty living room caused by Typhoon Ondoy (or Hurricane Ketsana). We prayed a little prayer for our trip to Rodriguez, Rizal. All 11 of us were ready, only Kuya Obing was left behind to look after the house.
8:44 a.m. we were on the road, Abigail driving the Innova with 7 passengers including her, and i drove the car with 4 of us there…
9:47 a.m. we arrived at the gates of COTTOLENGO FILIPINO, where Father Julio was already waiting for us. He was supposed to celebrate mass in Antipolo but since it was a Maundy Thursday, no volunteers showed up so he could not leave the center. He is the person in charge.
The center is on a 3 hectare property in Rodriguez, Rizal, almost near the Wawa river where we used to go for a swim when we were little kids. So, the place is surrounded by the mountains of Montalban.
There are children with stories on how Father Julio got them and adopted them. You see these children are officially adopted by the center. Some were left in bus terminals, like Feb-Terminal, yes, that's his name, he is a young boy and no speech, that's why they gave him that name because he did not know it himself. There's one, Jose, was brought to the Barangay by someone who found him on the streets. The barangay officials not knowing what to do with him, called up Cottolengo if they would like to adopt him. Now, Jose can walk, though limply, and has gained weight as compared to when he first arrived at the center, he is now way much, much better.
GILBERT: a wide eyed little boy, who got limbs but no fingers and toes.
MICHAEL: This tiny tot got more than what he can bear, a colostomy bag, a hole in his tummy and a hole on his throat.
JESSIE: young boy with hydrocephalus.
10:30 a.m. MERIENDA TIME:
The children were brought to the cafeteria for merienda of pancit malabon that we brought for them.
We were glad to be able to spoon feed some of them.
This is a happy and fulfilling morning for me. I am glad that we made it to COTTOLENGO….
I have learned more about the DIVINE PROVIDENCE. Father Julio asked us for prayers, as there are days they run out of funds to care for these children or to pay for their workers (there are workers and volunteers). It is a feat to run a center like this, and to care for these children who are only a fraction of the many others in the streets or abandoned somewhere.
JOHN 15:12-13 & 17 says: "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." "This is my command: Love each other."
Indeed the greatest of all is LOVE. Nothing like this would be possible without LOVING others. We are able to do things with nothing and for nothing through LOVE. Just like our Lord Jesus, who gave up His life, for what? for us, sinners. That's because He loves us dearly.
To God be the Glory!
NOTE: COTTOLENGO FILIPINO celebrates their 10th year anniversary on MAY 15, 2010.

I've always loved movies and cartoons that featured an archenemy or evil overlord of some kind, not because they offered a compelling challenge or foil for the hero or heroes, but because whenever they hatched a brilliant plan involving nuclear weapons or a weather machine they were then able make some demands on the world, which would be forced to meet them (if it wasn't for those pesky spies or nerds bitten by radioactive spiders meddling in other people's affairs). Generally, such requests made while holding the entire population hostage involved monetary compensation (Really? What good is money once you've unleashed apocalyptic destruction? I'm pretty sure the bank isn't going to be able to process the wire transfer of a billion dollars because of the radiation fallout.) or being made global dictator (A job? You did this to make EVERYONE reliant on you and come to you with all their needs? Come on, Cobra Commander!).
The reason I always dug this illogical cliché was that I couldn't help but fantasize about what my demands would be if I were able to make such threats. In fact, this is a daydream that I find myself returning to still. I imagine myself sitting at the head of a long table, petting a white cat, and talking to a giant screen with all the leaders of the world peering at me from it, their faces twisted in confusion and horror as I explain just how my machinations will kill everyone on the planet. Here are a few of my demands that must be met in order to save us all:
- The so called "Text Speak," in which common phrases are abbreviated and numbers are used to shorten messages, must end… now. No more 2day's, LOL's, or ROFLMAO's. It's the English language, show some respect. And anyone heard actually speaking the abbreviations (i.e. "I'll BRB" instead of "I'll be right back.") will be sterilized to prevent them from breeding and passing on their defective genes to future generations.
- Women can no longer wear the bug eyed sunglasses. I don't know where this trend came from, I don't really care, but it's over. A whole generation of women think it looks chic and stylish when in fact they appear to be hiding evidence of domestic abuse or copying Bono's style.
- No one is allowed to post or take any quizzes on Facebook anymore. It is quite possibly the most annoying new feature on Facebook. I don't need to know which Billy Joel song matches your personality, how Pilipino you are, or [shudder] how horny you are. Just stop.
- Fred Durst must die. Limp Bizkit is reuniting and trying to make a comeback, this is a fact. Durst is directing movies, including one about the first girl to play in Pop Warner football and staring Ice Cube; this is a fact. I may be an evil genius, but Jesus even I have my limits on what horrors I allow to be unleashed on the world.
- Kanye West is no longer allowed to have any contact with the general public. Mr. West can continue to make music, but he is hence forth forbidden to have a blog, release any press statement, or make announcements of any kind. This is a direct result of his inability to understand the concept of how a caps lock functions or that repeatedly calling oneself a genius does not make it so. Mr. West, be thankful that nothing was done about your choice of clothing styles.
- All Segways are now outlawed. Does this need an explanation?
- Finally, all the worlds' scientists must stop all current research and work on one single goal: Jetpacks. Seriously, it's 2009 and we don't have jetpacks yet? What's the closest thing we have? Segways? Bullshit! It's not that hard a concept and I'm pretty sure that if we all focus on creating jetpacks that are also eco-friendly, we've just saved the ozone layer, because no one would ever drive car again when they could use a jetpack.
Essentially, if I was able to threaten the world with some kind of weapon (or weapons) of mass destruction, it would then become the most awesome world ever.
