Paul and Beverly purchased a casein painting titled "Wake Up" from my last solo exhibition, Another Mental Concoction. A few months later they came to my studio and picked out a small egg tempera on paper for their friends, Dave and Joy.
Paul was one of my drawing students at Phoenix College. He was also adjunct. He taught writing. Paul worked very hard in my class. Sometimes he stayed after to discuss a drawing challenge of some sort. The challenge could be a skill or technique he was struggling to achieve. We might discuss the technique, in reference to his drawing in particular or, he might ask me, could he approach it another way…No Paul, just approach it how I have directed you to approach it, I would say. He wanted freedom of some sort…maybe, and I would not give it to him…maybe. A challenge.
Sometimes he would point out other student's work…I want my drawing to be as strong as Ivan's drawing!. Ivan had been drawing most of his life. Paul had just begun…to draw. I tried to explain that Ivan draws like Ivan, and Paul will draw like Paul.
It was all good. It is about process, I would say. He got more at ease with the process and more excited with his progress as the semester continued.
A year later Paul took my 2D Design class. He invited Dave, a friend, to take the class with him. And between the two of them they had the majority of the class in laughter, most days. Paul was happy with his design work, all the time, it appeared.
He had found some freedom.
At some point in the semester I go over what it called the Golden Ratio as it applies to art and design. I always struggle with the explanation. I can draw it, but to clearly verbally express it is a different story. Dave having been an engineer early on in his career, came in with a long computer calculation of the ratio. I was impressed that he had taken the time to do this. I handed the class over to him and he explained it happily. Everyone got it. There were no blank faces staring back at him.
Below are Paul's and Dave's final collage designs. This was a four step process to get them to this abstract finale.
Dave hopes to take my drawing class one day. Paul has moved on to study landscape design. Joy, Dave's wife works for Thunderbird School of Global Management. Beverly, Paul's wife works for the Desert Botanical Gardens. Beverly and Joy are two very ambitious women. I enjoyed meeting both of them.
Between them all they take part in choir, play instruments, support local musicians, and a music store (Paul volunteers at Stinkweeds). They are very busy people who take time out to be creative.
Although I did not deliver the art work to their homes, my husband and I were invited to see where the work was finally hung. We enjoyed some good meals, wine and company.

Eventually, if individuals have abnormally immediate passage of food items in the compact intestine, there might not be sufficient time for your tiny intestine to digest and soak up sugars and carbohydrates.

Big amounts of hydrogen also could possibly be created if the colon bacteria shift again to the compact intestine, a situation known as bacterial overgrowth of the smaller bowel. On this latter occasion, the microorganisms are exposed to unabsorbed food items which includes not still experienced an opportunity to entirely traverse the compact intestine to become entirely digested and absorbed.

Mercury Ship in a Bottle: 1 2 3 Next>>
Mercury Ship in a Bottle by Daniel Siemens, Page 2
Building the Mercury Masts, Sails and Spars
Artist: William Pace - The Mercury Draught Showing the Sail Plan Most of the work on the body of the ship was now complete, although Daniel had not yet put the deck stanchions [posts on outer edge of the deck] on. So he added them, painting them red to match the other details on the ship.
Each stanchion was shown with a deck gun on top of it in the original plans. (These give the Mercury added fire-power and make her look more threatening to her targets.) However, Daniel decided not to add them, explaining that "I added them to a ship once and they went highly unnoticed. Also I had trouble with them falling off and I didn't want to deal with the trouble trying to keep twelve swivel guns in place while the ship was going through a bottle neck."
It was now time to give the ship the ability to sail, even if it was only in it's tiny, bottle-sized environment. First Daniel installed the two masts. "I stepped them [raised them] as they are in the plans and added the platforms. This was done in a similar way to a lot of small details on this ship by cutting them out the plans and staining them. The masts are made from bamboo skewers. Bamboo is the best when it comes to spars and masts since it stays strong even while incredibly thin."

Photo: Daniel Siemens - The Gaff Boom Sail or Spanker on the Mercury came the sails and their rigging (ropes for you land lubbers, or lines for you sailors). As Daniel explained it, "There is a lot that went into the rigging." He was clearly understanding the thing. He told me he used fly-tying thread since it is strong and doesn't stretch very much.
The first sail was ready to be raised on the Mercury. You would think it would be at the front. (Well, you would if you were me and you hadn't already seen that picture at left.) You would be wrong. (So would I.) Daniel: "I started with the gaff and boom sail in the stern, often called the spanker."
"In most Ships in a Bottle (SIB) a hole is drilled through the spars [wooden vertical pieces extending from the mast to hold sails] to allow the rigging to pass through."
"At this scale drilling a hole would be difficult and compromise the strength of the spars. Instead I used a method called thread blocks. A piece of string is tied around a needle and the knot glued. After the glue dries the thread is taken off the needle. It creates a very small thread loop that can be tied into place on any mast or spar. The line runs smoothly through the loop and can be loosened and tightened as needed." If you hadn't thought Daniel's attention to detail was painstaking before, you have surely revised that opinion by now.
Photo: Daniel Siemens - The Aft Mast Sails and Rigging from the Side "I used a lot of thread blocks on the rigging to hold up the gaff boom. The spars are tied to the masts and the lines glued in place so they can move back and forth on the line but not up and down the mast. I did drill a few holes in the wider parts of the mast to keep certain spars in place. Mostly whereever I felt the mast could handle the hole."
"I used thread blocks in the bow as well for the forward rigging to run out of the bottle. This is used to pull the masts into place later. On the back stays I drilled very small holes in the chain plates [plates on the

Mercury Aft Mast Sails, Front deck of a ship used to hold the masts up]. The back stays are actually one continuous line on a single mast. They run from one chainplate through the mast to the other chainplate and back. This allows a lot of control for equally tightening the back stays. With one line all of the back stay lines can be tightened by pulling the line and moving the mast back and forth. The back stays on a SIB are important in controlling the rake or angle of the mast as compared to the deck."
"You'll notice the aft mast leans a little more towards the rear of the ship. This was the case on the plans and was replicated by controlling the tightness of the back stays. Once the back stays were set and glued down I added the ratlines [rope tied between shrouds to form ladders] by gluing thread to the back stays."
"The last thing
Photo: Daniel Siemens
The Aft Mast Mercury Flag Detail to go over with these photos is the flag. The plans called for a pennant. Pennants hold more significance to military ships. The longer the pennant the longer the longer the ship has sailed. That could be adapted to a pirate ship but I ultimately decided that if this were the ship of the Mercury crewe it should bear the flag of the Mercury crewe."
"I put the flag in Photoshop and copied it so that when printed I could fold it in half. When putting a flag on ship it's important to consider the wind direction. It's more natural that the flag follow the wind direction."
You may wonder at all Daniel's concern for getting the rigging set up just so. Daniel explained that there was a very particular reason for this. "The rigging is the secret to getting the ship in the bottle. Just like a real ship the back stays hold the mast back while the fore stays pull it forward. Unlike a real ship, the ship in a bottle's mast doesn't go all the way to the keel [bottom of the ship]. It sits in a shallow hole on the deck. When the fore stays are loosened it allows the masts to fold back and lay flush with the hull."
Photo: Daniel Siemens
The Mercury Fore Mast Sails Angled View With the aft mast sails complete, Daniel proceeded to add the sails and rigging to the fore mast. While getting ready to do this, he noticed a problem with the sails that were already installed. I'll let him explain.
"I wasn't originally going to add the rigging that controls the spars or running rigging. [Running rigging is used to pull the sails allowing control of the direction of a ship while it is sailing.] Running rigging is a lot more work and if not done well can detract from the ship. Since the eye fills in what's not there, a lot of SIB builders leave the running rigging off. I decided to include it following a slight mistake."
"I glued on the spanker with a port tack - meaning the wind was blowing towards the port side. My main sails naturally fell towards the starboard side. If I left off the running rigging I would end up with the sails that followed two different wind directions. In order to correct this I put on the running rigging to brace the spars on a port tack. I ran the running rigging out the sides of the ship and the out the bottle. This made it possible to tighten it while the ship was in the bottle."
"The sails are made of paper. I curled them by pulling them between my thumb and a pen. This creates the wind filled look of the sails."
With that, the Mercury was complete! But there were two other small details to complete.

Building the Gullah Launch and Jollywatt Dart
Artist: William Pace
The Gullah Launch/Longboat Plans and Details The last thing required to complete the building of the Mercury was the building of the two smaller boats used to service the ship. The Gullah is a launch, which is the largest boat a ship would have on board. It would be used to transport people and set the anchors of the ship. The smaller boat is the
Artist: William Pace
The Mercury Jollywatt Dart Plans Jollywatt, a dart. I had specifically asked Daniel to have the Gullah trailing behind the ship because I liked the way that looked. The dart was to be sitting on the deck of the ship as it was shown on the draughts or prints that William had made.
"I built the smaller boat using a match stick. The details for this method can be found on my blog. The bigger of the two is being towed behind and is actually out of paper. For this I cut out a wood version of the boat. Rather then carve out the inside, which would be difficult considering its' size, I coated the wood plug in nail polish and wax. I then glued paper planking, stained with a wood stain over the plug and pulled it off once it had dried. I then glued in additional pieces of paper to create the seats."
This completed the building of the ship and her boats. Now it had to go into the bottle.

MySpace Official Question
The comments are back on. I'm not blogging about any details -- except for the fact that he bawled like a baby and took the breakup even harder than I did.
I know. Kinda funny, huh.
Anyway, thanks so much for all of the sweet e-mails.
A great time with my girls this weekend. Update on that tomorrow.
But in related news? While I changed mine the very next day, his MySpace claims we're still official. I've been watching his page like a hawk this weekend, and he's been online every day since the breakup. He's had pllllenty of time to check the "single" box. Aaaaand remove me as his number one friend.
Please tell me this doesn't mean what I think it means.
*UPDATE*: He's changed it. Amen to that.

Dating without drama com
It is really important to enjoy the relationship to the fullest.
Yes, casual dating can lead to casual sex in almost every relationship.
2,725), Χiropótamos (2,554), Kallífytos (1,282), Kalós Agrós (1,178), and Koudoúnia (996).
Built at the foot of mount Falakro, in a verdant area with abundant water sources, Drama has been an integral part of the Hellenic world since the classical era; In the modern era, tobacco production and trade, the operation of the railway (1895) and improvement of the road network towards the port of Kavala, led to an increase in the population of the city and to the enhancement of commercial activity.
You cannot just be mad or demand from your partner because you have agreed it as a casual relationship.
In 1912 during the First Balkan War, Drama was taken from the Ottomans by Bulgarian troops.
Subsequently, in 1913 as a result of the Treaty of Bucharest, following the Second Balkan War, it was incorporated into Greece along with the rest of eastern Macedonia.
Archaeological finds show that in the area of the modern city there used to be an ancient Greek settlement named Dyrama (Greek: Δύραμα) or alternatively Hydrama (Greek: Ύδραμα), both meaning "rich in water".
Hydrama was notable as the place of worship for many Gods of classical Greek mythology, especially Apollo and Artemis. Drabescus was part of the Roman and Byzantine Empires along with the rest of Greece.

Many, if not all, of these excellent business, communications and finance books needs to be included in any educational setting that is committed to providing students with the most effective and practical coaching for succeeding within the business world. We might normatively assume they and their lives will be improved by news consumption, but they understand little reason to do so. This doesn't, nevertheless, imply they ignore information altogether. I can see this plan as an ideal software for entrepreneurs who wish to construct this business. I'm a decade older than you however have had that urge to build a small business equivalent to yours.
Corbis might be centered on building and rising its entertainment promoting business underneath a different model. The use of a one-web page proposal can show to be the proper format for together with key references to the fee-effectiveness of a proposed motion. That's why the Kindle Paperwhite 3G is the right companion to a pill for both leisure and business travel. I sure as HECK ain't gonna surrender on my business because I know I even have one thing AMAZING to supply the world.
Another necessary factor to be thought of is, whether you use a template, or have created your own template or are making a document from scratch, it is advisable design the doc for objective. Each template contains directions and gives examples of information to include on that proposal page. Nobody who knew me rising up would ever have believed that I had a head for business (I even stunned myself!). Assume that the growth ends in the ride sharing business tomorrow and that the journey sharing corporations had been to compete for existing riders.
I even have three fee choices – Cash – Internet – Credit cards they usually pay once I ship the groceries to their residents, so it will be reimbursed, I am utilizing a Hypercom M4230-GPRS unit, transportable their door. Central to the angst and concern expressed about the future of news media and journalism is a fundamental conviction that everyone ought to be common news consumers and eat similar amounts of news and data. Whether they need to put together for their upcoming business conferences or occasions with studying, writing, creating presentations or e-mail, the background noise on planes, trains, buses, and taxis can be extraordinarily distracting and make specializing in work a challenge.
And another business that just keeps growing despite the dangerous economic system is the office cleaning business. Finding the correct rep will help expand your business larger than you as a producer could ever accomplish! While there's much to look at and take into account about this latest technology the reviews provided the next some insights as to how the IGen , will influence retail business. These are the commonest sorts of promoting strategies people use for his or her home cleansing business. Partly because of this, we noticed close to universal endorsement of the Conservatives from business leaders. It is vital so that you can use some sort of mannequin that will help you determine which business type of business to begin. I just started my very own business in earnest this 12 months and WOW…you're dead on concerning all the problems you have mentioned.

Esssay on the poem Blackberry-picking by Seamus Heaney
"Blackberry-picking" by Seamus Heaney
Blackberry-picking is a poem by Seamus Heaney, in which he describes an incident from his childhood. The poem appeals to the five senses and uses various poetic techniques to paint a memorable picture in our minds.
Heaney describes blackberry-picking as a child with his family. He vividly describes the blackberries and how they tasted, then he describes how he went out picking then and what the blackberries looked like, he then describe what they did to the berries after picking and how disappointed he was when they did not keep and went rotten.

Render Unto Caesar
Liam Hogan
"Mr. Odberry?"
A face appears in the thin gap between door and frame. Nose too big, lips too grey, eyes red and glistening.
"Mr. Joseph Franklin Odberry?"
"Yes?" the rabbit at the doorway nervously replies.
I flash my ID card and give him a reassuring smile. "I'm Ms. Adriana Prescott, from NHS Blood and Transplant. May I come in?"
"Is this… is this about my kidney?"
I nod, solemn now. "Yes, yes it is."
The inside of the council flat matches Mr. Odberry. Like him, it is devoid of any hope, any colour, any future. It's dark, it smells, and it looks like it curled up to die sometime in the 1990's and somehow forgot to do the dying part. I perch primly on the edge of a frayed brown sofa, while Joe peers from the depths of his easy chair.
"Now," I say, tapping on my tablet. "Just to confirm, Mr. Odberry, you received a kidney transplant in June of last year, at Barts and the London. Is that correct?"
Mr. Odberry jerks his head in assent.
"If you please, could you clearly say 'yes' or 'no'? For my records?"
"Y-yeah," he confirms, and I press the appropriate button on the electronic form.
"Thank you. Tell me, Mr. Odberry–Joe. May I call you Joe? Were you ever told who your donor was?"
Joe shakes his head and then, at my raised eyebrow, stutters a: "N-no."
"Let me enlighten you. Your donor was a…" I carefully read the name, though I know it well enough. "Mr. Sanjit Parul, declared deceased following a Road Traffic Accident on the 2nd June at 3.43pm."
Joe blinks owlishly up at me. No doubt, he fears whatever news I'm about to impart. I wonder what he imagines? Some case of malpractice? A recently uncovered medical issue with the donor? Or does he hope that this is just a routine check-up, albeit one without the customary month-in-advance appointment? I put him out of his misery.
"Well, Mr. Odberry; Mr. Parul would like his kidney back."
There's a small shake of the head. Disbelief. Perfectly understandable. "I thought…" the voice is almost lost in the dullness of the room and I have to strain to hear, "I thought you said he was… deceased?"
"Quite so. He was. But, after the change to the laws as part of the Returnee Act, passed in April, he is nevertheless entitled to claim back any possessions he had at the time of his unfortunate death. And that does, I'm afraid, include his organs."
There's a look of realization, of horror. "Mr. Parul is a… a zombie?"
I wince. "Please, Mr. Odberry! There's absolutely no call for the 'Z' word. Mr. Parul is a returnee, legally registered as such."
"But… I need his kidney."
"I'm sure you do. However, Mr. Parul has a priori rights. And, before you point out that removing his kidney may well kill you, I'd like you to note that even though Mr. Parul was dead when the organ was taken from him, removing it was surely done in such a way as would have lead to his certain demise, were he alive at the time. So it does all rather balance out."
There's a pause while Mr. Odberry does his best to process this. He blinks. He shifts as if his chair, the one moulded to his desiccated form, has suddenly become ill fitting. Uneasy. At an educated guess, he withdrew into his council flat shell shortly after his operation and hoped everything and everyone would stay away, thus missing the bulk of the news about the End of the World.
Finally, he manages, in strangled voice, to utter: "You're here to remove my kidney?"
"Heaven's no, Mr. Odberry!" I laugh, "Do I look like a surgeon? I'm here merely to inform you of proceedings and to answer any questions you may have. The date for the operation is set for Tuesday-week. I do hope that is convenient?"
He gulps. Surprised, I suppose, at the speed, but, if it were done…
"I, um… will there be a replacement?"
"Ah," I frown and do my best to show sympathy, "Well, obviously, the NHS is rather stretched at the moment, with much of our current effort dedicated to returning organs to returnee donors. So there's a halt on all transplants, I'm afraid. You see, unless we know for certain that the donor won't be returning–if for example, his remains are to be cremated–we rather have to assume that he might still want his–or her!–organs back."
Mr. Odberry has turned a most peculiar shade. It's almost reassuring to see that his doughy skin can still adopt a colour, any colour, though green wouldn't have been my first choice. He gasps for air.
I hurry to reassure him. "What the NHS can do–subject to your approval–is to infect you with the Lazarus virus."
"I'd… I'd become a zombie?"
I wince again. Really, the gutter press has a lot to answer for. I thought we'd moved on from such brain-dead prejudice, particularly as the previously deceased now outnumber those who were alive at the start of the outbreak. Which was why the Act had been so swiftly passed: to buy their precious votes.
"A returnee, Mr. Odberry! Though, strictly, if you're inoculated before the operation, you'd never actually die, so there would be no issue with your retaining your status as a living, never deceased, being."
He doesn't look particularly cheered by the thought. I guess it's hard adjusting to this brave new world.
I sigh. "It is, of course, entirely your own decision."
He nods, distractedly, his breath coming in short wheezes. The green has taken on a yellowish tinge. I half wonder if I should be calling for an ambulance.
"And I'll be okay, will I? If I'm infec– inoculated?"
He's grasping at straws, bless.
"You'll remain alive… But as for healthy, well, no. Not without a working kidney, necrotic or otherwise. The timing has rather conspired against you, Mr. Odberry. If you were diagnosed with organ failure today, they'd simply inoculate you and send you on your way. The virus would reanimate your necrotic flesh and the body's natural repair system would do the rest. Assuming you stayed off the drink, of course!"
He blushes at that, which means he's now pretty much covered the full spectrum; just blue missing. That might yet come. I suspect Mr. Odberry has ignored his physician's advice to 'never touch another drop'. And, if so, Mr. Parul might have a legal case for damages, if neglect could be proven. But as Mr. Parul was–and presumably still is–tea-total, it shouldn't do him any lasting damage.
"So what happens to me?"
"Well, you never know," I say, brightly, "They're scouring the medical labs and pathology museums. Perhaps they'll fit you out with something from Victorian times? I hear the Lazarus virus can bring even such antique specimens back to a semblance of life. And of course, there are benefits."
"Oh, indeed. Since the Human Tissue Act doesn't apply to specimens over a hundred years old, you can opt to have a Perspex window put in, if you like. With medical schools suffering a severe shortage of cadavers–ones who sit still, anyway!–you can earn a small but regular fee simply for letting trainee doctors look in on your kidney. And then there are body-parties…"
I let my patter trail off. I don't think Mr. Odberry is the sort to exhibit himself in that way. Business like, I conclude: "So, if I can just get your signature that we've had this little talk and you've taken note of your appointment date, I'll be on my way."
He fumbles with the stylus, his signature running wild across the slippery glass screen. Doesn't matter. It still counts. Gladly, I get up, ready to go.
"Actually, Mr. Parul would like to thank you," I say, as I brush the back of my skirt, checking that no residue of Mr. Odberry's flat remains.
"Thank me?" he echoes.
"Oh yes. While his kidney has kept you alive, you in return, have kept his kidney healthy. Or healthier than it would have been, if it were rotting in a grave for six months! We're finding that of all the formerly deceased, organ donors are the ones who end up with the best quality of life. Once they get their organs back, of course!"
As the door snibs shut behind me, I step into the bright sunshine, breathing deeply. The list of Mr. Parul's still to be reclaimed organs dictates the rest of my working day. A Northern colleague has already ticked off his liver, which found its way up to Manchester, but the rest of his body parts are scattered around London. Next up is his other kidney, in Lewisham, then double corneas over in Hampstead, and to finish the day, his pancreas somewhere near Bethnal Green.
I can afford a brief respite before I set off. A moment to absorb the sun's warming rays, chasing away the grey of Mr. Odberry's dreary flat. All in all, far too reminiscent of that re-awakening, two months back: cold, and dark, and six-feet below.

If my bladder is even a little full and the baby puts pressure on my bladder, i leak. if i get full from eating, i can leak. If i get angry , i leak. OMG I freaking hate it. I really hope it gets at least a little better after my daughter is born. I really want surgery to fix it. i had enough.

I had that problem when I was pregnant with twins. It went away awhile after I had them (unless I sneezed real hard). I hope it doesn't happen with this pregnancy tho iM sure it will. My friend had such a problem with it she peed herself on the table when the ultrasound tech pushed down to view the baby. Its a pretty normal thing I guess :(

Meet the Maker – Portland Jewelry Designer Allison Bartline
Primal, iconic, and fierce. Allison Bartline's jewelry leaves an instant impression with its bold lines and deep connection to our natural world.
We sat down recently with the Portland-based designer to learn more about the inspiration behind her favorite pieces, how growing up in Alaska influenced her creative process, and why her new store, Gem Gem, is going to be something really special.
You grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and now live in Portland. How have each of these cities affected your work?
Leaving Alaska was all I wanted to do growing up. It is far too remote and close-minded. I know that Alaska has affected who I am; I suppose that boredom drove me to creativity as a kid if I really think about it. I moved to Seattle for some years, didn't finish a degree in art history, and then traveled in Europe. When I returned to Seattle, I started working in jewelry sales. I moved to New York City because I felt I needed to, I had a strong drive to live there. In New York, I got the opportunity to work more directly with successful jewelry designers and learn so much more about the business. My husband got a job offer in Portland and I was excited to change things up. I got to apprentice part time with a local jewelry caster and learned more of the processes in bringing my designs to life. Portland has given me the ability to afford to live and build a business making jewelry. Affording the cost of building a creative business is difficult, and we were lucky to move to a place where it was possible.
Your designs are influenced by how early man interacted with and interpreted the natural world. Which elements in particular fascinate you? Is there a religious/spiritual component to your work?
I wouldn't say there's a purposeful spiritual or religious aspect to my work. It is fascinating to me how man has viewed the natural world throughout history, how there has been a strong desire to explain, worship, control, stifle, harness, or destroy it. These desires have contributed to the birth of religion as a way to find reason in the power of nature. My work is more of an observation and commentary on the very human inclination of trying to explain the chaos.
What was the catalyst for you beginning to design your own jewelry, after working in jewelry sales previously?
I am an avid collector of jewelry. I started looking for specific pieces that I couldn't find. I assumed that if I thought of it, the piece must exist out there. I couldn't find these pieces, so I started designing them for my own personal collection. Friends and strangers started asking about them, so I started making more. It started very organically and unintentionally. I originally thought it would only be a hobby because I was far too self-critical to consider putting myself out there artistically.
What are the biggest challenges that you find with balancing the creative and business aspects of being an independent jewelry designer?
Time management! Everything takes longer than expected and there is never enough time. Prioritizing can be difficult too. All I want to do is carve wax and make jewelry, but what affords me the privilege of doing this as a job is all of the 'boring' business work too. I have to force myself to take photos, update my site, and do all of the other tasks required to sustain a business. Obviously, it's a goal to get to the point where I can truly focus on design and have an employee to handle the day to day business functions.
Do you design for a specific person in mind, or do you believe your work attracts lots of different types of customers?
I design for myself, my friends, my family. I hope to attract many types of customers, but ultimately it's the pieces I want to wear or see my friends wear. I have lots of ideas rolling around in my head, and sometimes it just takes a conversation with a friend about those ideas to get me excited to start carving. I'm lucky that there are people out there that like and want to support what I create.
Which of your pieces is your favorite, and why? Do any have origin stories you'd like to share?
I find so much inspiration from antiques and art. I look at nature, antique furniture, book prints, architecture, and armor. Sometimes its a more literal interpretation like the HERNE, KRIOS, or AMAROK. Sometimes, it is more based on something I've seen in travels or reading like the CETUS necklace which is based off of Roman fountains or the PULSAR and NEBULA bangles which are based on medieval images of comets and stars. My favorite pieces change constantly, right now its the CABALLUS lariat for it's versatility. You can wear it long, wrapped shorter, or wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet. Ask me tomorrow, and my favorite will be different. I wear so many pieces at a time that it is hard to play favorites.
Why do you think jewelry resonates so powerfully with people?
Since ancient times, jewelry has been worn to symbolize so many aspects of our lives. It was made to last, to adorn, to represent, to pass down to future generations, or to be buried in. Only in the last 100 years has costume jewelry been readily made with the only focus to be an accessory to wear and dispose after the trend passes. Jewelry should be so much more than an accessory, it should last and be passed along to continue telling its story.
Your work is primarily made with sterling silver, is there a particular reason? Do you have plans to work with other metals in future?
Silver is my favorite not only for its color, but I love the way it changes and ages. I have worked with bronze in the past, but the finish just doesn't have the longevity that finer metals have. I want my jewelry to last for years, pieces that you want to keep and collect, to become pieces that you pass down to younger generations. I have plans on working with more gold in the future as well. I have had the pleasure of working with gold quite a few times for custom pieces, and I want to create a collection of gold pieces.
Can you tell our followers a little about your new store, Gem Gem? What has that experience been like in the lead up to its opening in April?
Finding the space for Gem Gem was a bit of an accident. I had forgotten about ideas I had long ago to own a jewelry store that carried my work and the work of other respected jewelry designers. I moved from Seattle to New York with the idea of learning what I could from the jewelers I worked for an eventually owning my own store. The idea was lost, I burned myself out, and I thought jewelry wasn't for me. Working some events, I met fellow designers Heidi Lieberman and Jessica Illahole and we started working together on throwing some jewelry parties. We worked very well with each other and we wanted to get a studio space together, which is what we were originally looking for when I found the space for Gem Gem. There was an empty storefront, and I couldn't get the idea of a store out of my head. I was reminded of that idea I had 10+ years previous. Heidi and I decided to take on the storefront as well as the studio. We are excited to bring a new type of jewelry shopping experience to Portland.

Colombian billionaire sells JGB Bank
Sabadell United Bank has agreed to acquire JGB Bank from Colombian billionaire Jaime Gilinski Bacal, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Gilinski became the largest shareholder of Spain-based Banco de Sabadell, which owns the Miami-based subsidiary, in September when he acquired a 9 percent stake in the bank through a public offering. He's not on the board of directors. After the share price of Sabadell increased in recent months, Gilinski's investment is worth close to $1 billion, according to market data.
Now Gilinski has agreed to sell Doral-based JGB Bank to Sabadell for $56 million cash, or 1.12 times its book value, said Sabadell spokesman Porter Leslie.

Entrepreneur wing opening at Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center
The Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center of Bucks County will officially open its $1.4 million "entrepreneur wing" at its Buckingham complex Wednesday.
The 5,000-square-foot addition was created by converting unused space in the back of the center, which was formerly used as a printing and distribution warehouse for D.A. Lewis.
The project was funded primarily by Institute for Hepatitis and Virus Research, the research arm of the Hepatitis B Foundation, both of which are based in — and helped establish — the center. The center also received a $200,000 state of Pennsylvania Keystone Innovation Zone grant that was used to create teaching lab space in the wing.
The occupants of the entrepreneur wing are:
• ALS Biopharma, led by Allen Reitz, which is searching for a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — also known as Lou Gehrig's disease;
• Fox Chase Chemical Diversity, also led by Allen Reitz, which is synthesizing new molecules to help with therapeutic drug discovery;
• Advanced Neural Dynamics, led by Douglas Brenneman, which is working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease;
• The IHVR/PCI teaching lab, led by Pamela Norton, a teaching lab for students in the Hepatitis B Foundation/ Institute for Hepatitis and Virus Research;
• Immunotope, led by Ramila Philip, which is developing immune-based therapeutics for cancer and chronic viral infections;
• Reniguard, led by Dr. David Ren, which is providing diagnostic assays for chronic hepatitis;
• Russell Biotech, led by Thomas Russell, which is developing reagents and diagnostic assays for chronic hepatitis and other diseases; and
• Therimunex, led by James Thacker, which is developing a new class of antibacterial and antiviral therapeutics that stimulate the immune system.

The official video for Bear's Den new single Elysium was revealed on NPR yesterday. The song which focuses on the the redemptive power of friendship is given a whole new meaning by the video that accompanies it. There is a poignant story behind it which is also shocking and incredibly sad.
It was made by filmmaker James Marcus Haney, the song made him think a lot about his brother Turner and that transition from being a kid to adulthood. He wanted to capture on film that important transition and also 'to get inside what it feels like to be a teenager today.'
With this in mind the video became a two fold project: to make a music video and to also capture the final college days of his brother Turner with his friends.
Shortly after filming started a man walked into Turner's college and shot four students, one of whom died. The student that died turned our to be Turner's friend and dorm mate Paul Lee.
Read the full story and James Marcus Haney's words here on NPR
Elysium is backed by three live recordings of tracks from previous EPs Agape and Without/Within (Don't Let The Sun Steal You Away, Isaac and Sophie, all recorded live at the Brixton Electric on 13th May 2014).
Bear's Den are Andrew Davie (guitar, vocals), Joey Haynes (guitar), and Kev Jones (drums, bass).

Article published on September 12, 2011.
Neil Cross is the author of several novels including Always the Sun and Burial, as well as the bestselling memoir Heartland. He has been lead scriptwriter for the two most recent seasons of the acclaimed BBC spy drama series Spooks and continues to write widely for the screen, most recently Luther. His most recent book is a prequel to that show, Luther: The Calling, and is published by Simon & Schuster.
Are you a bookgeek?
Since I was dangling upside down from the midwife's fist.
What's the best piece of writing advice you've ever been given (and do you follow it)?
There's only one useful piece of writing advice. It comes wearing various masks; sometimes compassionate, sometimes pitiless. But it always boils down to this: if you want to write, just write.
And yeah. I follow it every day.
Which authors do you find most inspiring as a writer?
Patricia Highsmith. Raymond Carver. Grahame Greene. And about ten million others I'll think of as soon as I've posted this interview.
Do you have an audience in mind when writing, or do you just write for yourself?
Well, this is a slightly loaded question because there's a big difference between a market and an audience. You should never write to a market. It's contemptuous and always ends in failure because your readers are smarter than you; they can spot a liar a mile away. You have to write the books you're compelled to write, whether that's a historical romance, a workplace comedy, a thriller set on a nuclear submarine or a forensic examination of a middle-class marriage in the process of collapse.
But the purpose of writing — all writing — is to be read. It doesn't matter if it's an instruction manual or a novel: it needs to be crafted with a reader in mind. Even Joyce was acutely aware of his audience, idealised and confounded as that audience may have been.
A novel written in the name of "self-expression" is usually the opposite — it's actually a wretched, adolescent attempt to impress the unwilling. Like some domineering bore on the bus, yelling into his phone about what he plans to do tonight.
As if we gave a shit.
Where do you write, and why?
At home. I write pretty much all day, every day. I work half days at the weekends, although that's a recent habit and I'd like to break it.
I travel a great deal, so I'm also obliged to write in various hotel rooms around the world, but I don't mind this. Being superstituous about where you write always strikes me as being another of those self-consciously "writerly" affectations. As long as I've got a desk, a chair, a laptop and a ready supply of coffee, I'm okay.
Tell us the book you most wish you had written.
It's enough for me that the books I love exist in the world.
To wish I'd written them sounds a touch egomaniacal.
(Although it's also a weird form of self-negation: in order to wish you've written someone else's book, you'd also have to wish you were the person it was necessary to be in order to write it. I love Wuthering Heights and Catch-22 , but not enough to wish I were dead.)
Luther: The Calling is a prequel novel. Did you have the plot in mind before writing the TV series, or was it borne out of a desire to better understand the character?
While I was developing the TV show, I did quite a bit of background work into Luther; his relationships, his world. Things I didn't get the chance to tell as a story. But other than that, not really. I knew the killer was a very bad man, and I knew where he ended up … but I didn't know how he ended up where he ended up, if you see what I mean. It nearly killed me, I'm immensely proud of the novel that resulted.
Dogs feature heavily in the book, both as victims and aggressors. Was this solely because they were needed to further the plot, or were you deliberately making a point about man's bestiality to man?
Writers often populate their fictional worlds with superficially disguised portrayals of friends and family. I spend all day alone with two dogs, so that probably accounts for some of it.
Other than that, I'm interested in dogs because their best attributes so closely mirror ours, not least their inexhaustible capacity to love and their absolute loyalty. But their worst characteristics mirror ours, too; any dog is three hungry days from reverting to wolf.
Plus, I just seem to have this thing about dogs. Recently a reader reminded me that Very Bad Things happen to a dog in a previous novel of mine, Always the Sun. I'd completely forgotten about this and would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all dog-kind, all over the world.
Both the series and the book push the envelope in terms of violence. Was this a goal in itself, or was it necessary to add weight to the psychological drama?
Well, a bit of algebra did go into those decisions: the killer's actions had to be bad enough to merit Luther's reaction to them. And as I say, I knew where the killer ended up, so ….
But yeah, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a certain joy to be had in terrorizing the reader.
The villains in Luther tend to be human boogeymen, or monsters, but the book and the show are also well-grounded, functioning police procedurals. How do you manage to square the two?
As I write, an entire family has just been butchered in Jersey. Elsewhere on the same day, a father decapitated his disabled son and left the child's head by the side of a road. To say nothing of last month's massacre in Oslo.
None of which is an attempt to make the case that Luther depicts the everyday lives of London police officers: the things that happen in Lutherland are absolutely fictional. But the kind of things that happen? They happen all the time. And real police officers have to deal with those real horrors.
That thought fascinates and terrifies me … which is why I'm so compelled to write about it.
You mention in your acknowledgements that Idris Elba "made Luther." Would it be accurate to say John Luther is now as much Elba's creation as your own?
The way I see it, we've got joint custody.

text: Jan 7, 2012 Audit SSDI? As the American workplace becomes safer, more workers are reporting disability.The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is being seriously abused, if new findings are to be believed. The percentage of individuals claiming SSDI benefits has skyrocketed since the programs establishment, from approximately 0.1% of the workforce in 1952 to over 4.5% percent in 2009. With expenditures on disability also climbing, the old-age component of Social Security is under financial threat, with disability's share of the pie nearly doubling (10% of expenditure in the 80s, 18% in 2008). All this while occupational injuries and fatalities continue on to drop according to historical trends, according to BLS.

I thought it would be a cool game to play, where you could fight Galactus in the Arwing, and play as The Surfer in a dog fight multitplayer mode. So I did this pic for the game, the series that will only exist in my mind.

Well, well, well, kiddies, here we are again, another adventure into the Dirty South, with your single, yet glamorously beautiful Southern gal. We have been spending a lot of time on "Teachers of the Dirty South" lately, so I wanted to make sure I gave the rest of our Southern parts equal time in the spotlight.
The Setting: Orange County, Florida. James Weldon Alton, 29, is facing a felony charge after allegedly texting photos of his genitals to a 16-year-old-girl. "You mean dick pics" you say? "Dixie, what's so exciting about dick pics? EVERY guy sends women dick pics!" Well, aside from the fact that this guy is 29, and the recipient of the ween shots is only 16, I neglected to mention that Alton is….wait for it…Captain America at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Yes, my lovelies, it seems that good old Captain America likes to show off his little avenger to underage girls.
Alton met the girl after she took a photo with him while he was at work dressed in his "uniform". The girl posted the photo to Facebook, and like any good, creepy stalker, Alton found her, commented on the picture, and began an online "friendship" which later led to texting. Like all men dying to unleash Mr. Happy, the texting soon became more than friendly and Alton began to tell the girl that he was "getting into her." That's when the Captain went to his signature move – the dick pic.
The girl's father went to police when he discovered the photos in his teenage daughter phone.
Our disgraced hero admitted that the pics were a bad idea and claimed that he didn't know what he expected to happen once he sent them. He did state that he planned to meet up with the girl, but that they had not had the chance to firm up a date before he and his little captain had been busted.
Look, I am as much of a fan of the dick pic as any other girl, and I have received my share of them (wait, is that one coming in to my phone as we speak?), but to send them to a 16-year-old girl? I have said it before, and I will say it again….you men and your wieners!
Oh, there goes my phone again!

Academic success despite an inauspicious start
When Armando Solar-Lezama was a third grader in Mexico City, his science class did a unit on electrical circuits. The students were divided into teams of three, and each team member had to bring in a light bulb, a battery, or a switch.
Solar-Lezama, whose father worked for an electronics company, volunteered to provide the switch. Using electrical components his father had brought home from work, Solar-Lezama built a "flip-flop" circuit and attached it to a touch-sensitive field effect transistor. When the circuit was off, touching the transistor turned it on, and when it was on, touching the transistor turned it off. "I was pretty proud of my circuit," says Solar-Lezama, now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
By the time he got to school, however, one of his soldered connections had come loose, and the circuit's performance was erratic. "They failed the whole group," Solar-Lezama says. "And everybody was like, 'Why couldn't you just go to the store and get a switch like normal people do?'"
The next year, in an introductory computer science class, Solar-Lezama was assigned to write a simple program that would send a few lines of text to a printer. Instead, he wrote a program that asked the user a series of questions, each question predicated on the response to the one before. The answer to the final question determined the text that would be sent to the printer.
This time, the program worked perfectly. But "the teacher failed me because that's not what the assignment was supposed to be," Solar-Lezama says. "The educational system was not particularly flexible."
At that point, Solar-Lezama abandoned trying to import his extracurricular interests into the classroom. "I sort of brushed it off," he recalls. "I was doing my own thing. As long as school didn't take too much of my time, it was fine."
So, in 1997, when Solar-Lezama's father moved the family to College Station, Texas — the Mexican economy was still in the throes of the three-year-old Mexican peso crisis — the 15-year-old Armando began to teach himself calculus and linear algebra.
Accustomed to the autonomy of living in a huge city with a subway he could take anywhere, Solar-Lezama bridled at having to depend on rides from his parents to so much as go to the library. "For the first three years that I was in Texas, I was convinced that as soon as I turned 18, I was going to go back to Mexico," he says. "Because what was I doing in this place in the middle of nowhere?" He began systematically educating himself in everything he would need to ace the Mexican college entrance exams.

After being offline for around five months
Welcome back!Sarge
After being offline for around five months (life is still possible,believe it,or nor?!) after my pc packed up;I'm finally back,with the cheapest one in the store! Good points,so far. It was very small & easy to carry home;and the quietest one I've owned so far! How long it will last is another matter!But the important bit,now! While I was offline I still couldn't resist the urge to spend some money on cd's. Well,I just couldn't resist the recent cd of Symphonies 8,21 & 26,anymore! Luckily for me ,but not for my bank balance ,there was still one chap (or chap-ess?) who sends out paper lists and accepts cheques! Anyway,to cut a long (continues until page 94! ) .........I was very impressed by the performances. Obviously the sound quality is an advance. The opening of the eighth seems a tad quicker than on the Groves recording. I was a bit surprised by it,after the Groves! Overall,I thought it was a very satisfying interpretation. The twenty first aroused considerable interest,because it was,as it was for many others,one of the first (third,in my case;after Schmidt's Gothic) Brian symphonies I ever heard. Also,the fact that it was a schools orchestra;which made for a particularly interesting comparison. It was wonderful to hear it in such excellent sound. The clarity of the sound,the gossamer textures in the more playful moments. That said,I am sure John will be pleased to hear that I do feel that the LSSO performance has more of that gossamer playfulness and fleet footed-ness. In fact,if the LSSO had been able to enjoy the technical quality of this recording,I think their's would still be my favourite recording of this symphony......and possibly,still is? The Russian orchestra seem to take a less nimble footed approach. That said,they are both very good;and a fine complement to one another. Isn't it wonderful to be able to enjoy the luxury of these comparisons?!I am delighted to hear that the Seventh is going to receive a new recording,as it is one of my favourites. As to the twenty sixth. I have to say,I have left it till least,because it is not one of my favourites. That said,I am obviously very pleased that it has received a commercial recording. I am going to have to listen to it again. Maybe,I will crack it one day. For me,the next Brian symphony I enjoy after No 21,or even 22 (?) is No 30. Wait a minute! Did someone say that the Faust fund has nearly reached it's target?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Of course,I did 'disappear' a bit before my pc konked out..........being rather embarassed about not ordering,or buying the cd. I think I justified it by telling myself,repeatedly,that I was quite happy with Groves eighth and the LSSO twenty-first;and didn't really like the twenty-sixth that much! Well,you've got to have an excuse!!

Here are the teacher pay ratings for all WNY school districts
Click on the photo to the right for a quick tour of Business First's teacher pay ratings for Western New York.
Each slide gives the district's overall rank, as well as its rating on a five-star scale. The top 10 percent of the region's 98 districts are awarded five stars. The next 15 percent get four stars. And the remaining increments of 25 percent receive three stars, two stars and one star respectively.
You'll also see three salary levels for each district -- its start (5th percentile), median (50th percentile) and peak (95th percentile) salary. Percentiles indicate the ranking of a given salary in a district's payroll. A salary at the 50th percentile, for example, is larger than 50 percent of all teachers' salaries within that district.
Salary figures are for 2013 except for a few cases where a district did not provide salary data for that year to the New York State Education Department. Figures from the most recently reported year (usually 2012) have been substituted in those instances.
Business First rated teacher pay in all 98 districts in Western New York, a region that includes Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming counties.

Our Religion of Hate
Copyright 2008
by: Wayne R. Anderson
Being without religion means that I am not obligated to hate anyone. Various religious cults, however, manage to energize and attract adherents by appealing to the need in many people to hate others. Those cultists feel they are better than others; they figure that whatever they do is good compared to others who are evil. So, my not having any religion allows adherents of cults to conclude that they are better than I am, just for that reason alone. I am branded an atheist or an infidel and hated to some degree by those fanatically religious. Some of those conservative cults derogate people who are liberal, whatever that is, and hate those people also. And some cultists even berate others, like homosexuals, for the way they have sex. But why?
Why would a religious group be judgmental about how other people have sex? It seems illogical. While I do not have sex that way, and I might even consider it disgusting if I had to see people have sex that way, I would probably also find it just as disgusting if I had to see religious people having sex in whatever ways they do. But since I am not forced to watch either group or forced to adopt their sexual methods, I can easily conclude that it is none of my business to decide how others should have sex. I am not even curious about it. The question is then, why would some religious group be curious about other people's sex habits or insistent upon imposing their own sexual methods upon others? And how can the religious know so certainly what sex methods are bad or unacceptable to their invisible spirits? It is not like we have heard directly from those invisible spirits expressing what sex is good and what is bad. Have we?
The justification that Christian groups give for condemning homosexuals is their clergy's interpretation of Leviticus 18:22 to mean that their god considers homosexuals to be an abomination. The actual verse states: "Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination."
First of all, notice that the verse does not mention or condemn how people have sex. Ishmael just lying with Queequeg without sex has to be an abomination by this verse. Moby Dick is obviously homosexual propaganda. The Bible here is not setting any specific limitations on the ways even the faithful can have sex. Just lying with mankind is an abomination without any mention of sex. But really, would not the most powerful invisible spirit in the universe be able to convey her/his demand, if there is one, about how people have sex in a more clear instruction that does not leave it to the clergy to explain evil into the verse's meaning? Would a god be so shy about any reference to sex that he would use some vague euphemism rather than saying anything about sex? Or did that god actually speak of sexual relations, but one of the prudes that transcribed or translated it was too upset to use their god's actual words? Melville's description of Queequeg lying with Ishmael might have made me uncomfortable if it were not so humorous, but that alone did not make them homosexual or evil, even though the Bible clearly requires them to be hated as an abomination. Furthermore, is there no verse also condemning lesbian sex as an abomination? Perhaps that is exempt from godly condemnation.
Even if we accept that the Bible is stating God's proclamation that all homosexuals are an abomination, just how bad is that? It is not mentioned in the Ten Commandments, so it must not be too bad. It must, therefore, be less bad than dishonoring your parents or cussing. Perhaps it is one of the very minor sins, if anything, like even religious people are guilty of committing. Maybe God does not even agree with the religious fanatics who promote un-Christian hatred of homosexuals, or liberals, or Democrats. Would we not be surprised to hear that Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh are devout Christians in spite of the ungodly hate that they preach.
Leviticus 11:10 states, "...of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you." So when anyone swims in the waters, or takes a bath or shower in the waters, they are an abomination by the word of God. And if we interpret this to mean people are only an abomination while they are in the water, then we have to similarly interpret Leviticus 18:22 to say that homosexuals are only an abomination while they are lying with mankind, not before or after.
While the Bible does not specifically bar homosexuals from being bishops in the Episcopal Church, and certainly does not bar homosexuals from marrying, Leviticus 20:13 does say, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with woman, both of them have committed abomination" they shall surely be put to death." Do all Christians really believe the Bible to the extent that they want to put homosexuals to death like they once did with the witches of
? And what about Leviticus 20:27 which states: A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death." David Copperfield might have been put to death by religious fanatics in the past, but if Christianity can now overlook the obviously barbaric requirements demanded by some of their god's putative words, why can't they ignore those verses that require barbaric hatred of others because of something as unimportant as how they have sex? Salem
Consider the instructions in Deuteronomy 7:26, "Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it; but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing." Yep, God is clearly demanding the faithful to hate an abomination. So, those religious people are required to be haters. Dick Cheney is, therefore, required by his religion to hate his daughter. It is confirmed by Deuteronomy 12:31, "...for every abomination to Jehovah he hateth." Remember, I am without religion and do not have to hate anyone. Perhaps I am more Christian than are Christians, though I have hope that all Christians are not equally hateful. Maybe some are even liberal or progressive. But the literal words of the Bible certainly do not allow believers to be compassionate conservatives.
Another thing that the religious are required to hate is explained in Deuteronomy 22:5 as "a woman who wears what pertaineth to a man or a man who wears woman's clothes is an abomination to God." Wow, is it really that important that a woman not wear pants? Or since men in biblical times wore robes more like dresses, maybe men wearing pants and women in dresses is the abomination mentioned in Deuteronomy. But do we really have to hate women or put them to death for their fashion choices as the Bible demands, now that we are more liberal and less barbaric? And if we can overlook men and women dressing improperly, why not similarly overlook other abominations?
Proverbs 11:20 says, "They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah. But such as are perfect in their way are his delight." Gee, I thought we were all sinners and God did not expect us all to be perfect. Guess I was wrong and we have to hate and put to death those that are perverse in heart. I guess the haters in the clergy will tell us what makes a person perverse in heart before we kill those people. But what about the biblical demand that "thou shalt not kill?" It's a quandary. And how can we be certain that God opposes aborting fetuses if He is so willing to kill so many groups of adults as required by Moses' claims of what God told him?
A tougher condemnation is contained in Proverbs 12:22 as follows: "Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; but they that deal truly are his delight." So, if we treat the equal abominations of lying with mankind and lying lips as God has instructed, we must detest, abhor, and put to death even those persons who have ever lied. So, let him who has never lied come forward to throw the first stone. That may be Condoleezza Rice, who became so self-righteous at her congressional hearings at the mere mention that she may have lied. Say, I wonder if George W. Bush is being honest when he claims the
war was not a mistake and he is not sorry to have started. We should certainly hope that is not another example of lying lips. But what politician would ever be guilty of that abomination? Iraq
Proverbs 16:5 adds another offense: "Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah." So, certainly those who have such pride in their heart to claim that they are closer to God must be detested, abhorred, and put to death, just as those who lie with mankind.
An interesting requirement is presented in Luke 16:15 as . . . "for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God." The one that comes to mind is President George W. Bush who is certainly exalted among right-wing religious fundamentalists. So, he must be just as detested and abhorred as those homosexuals that those same groups claim must be detested and abhorred even to denying them equal rights that are enjoyed by other Americans.
Finally, consider Matthew 7:1, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." This is not a problem for me because I accept that I do not know, or wonder about, how homosexuals have sex. So I do not have to hate, detest or abhor them, and I am without the information that would allow me to judge them. Religious fanatics, however, are not hindered from judging or hating just by their lack of knowledge, like: how homosexuals are having sex; whose definition of sex (ours or President Bill Clinton's) is being used; why their abomination is worse than all the other abominations described in The Bible; or why they think their god requires their help in judging if he or she really is all-powerful? If an all-powerful god really hated all those abominations, why would he or she not eliminate them without relying on the feeble assistance of mere mortals?
So, if some Christians are not haters just for the sport of it, they should speak out against those among them who, for instance, publicly condemn Sponge Bob Squarepants and other cartoon characters just for promoting tolerance of others, like homosexuals. Seeking tolerance does not in any way require that anyone participate in sexual activities or agree with how others have sex. it only seeks to teach children to tolerate others. The alternative being sought by anyone who opposes tolerance of any group is the options of judging others, abhorring others, and putting others to death. Does any reasonable Christian really believe Tinkey Winkey, just by his or her or its mere existence, causes children to be lured into a lifestyle where they might have sex in some way that Jerry Falwell knows all about and does not agree with? Jerry and the other fanatics evidently felt they should be judging us all based on how we have sex. I have no problem with that. Based on my meager sex life for the past many years, I may find myself sainted even though I do not even believe. That is, if it really is more important that we have sex in accordance with Jerry's or some other god's requirements.
I would not resume to judge or preach to fanatical Christians, but I suspect that Christ would not hate homosexuals as they do. It seems to me that there is good reason to believe, if you believe The Bible, that God is the one that made homosexuals that way or could change them if He wished. On the other hand, is it not God that Christians believe should do all the judging? My belief is that if there is a god, notice I do not claim to know, he or she would not be proud of the religious haters who hate in his or her name.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians, they are so un-Christ like.--Gandhi.

The ship is the Per Se, a merchant vessel bound for exotic Suriname, a world away from the bitter rain and treacherous seas of Iceland. Each of the nine crew members carries a secret — some even have blood on their hands — but none realises that this may be their final voyage.

An atmospheric bookBy: carolyn on 9 March 2012I should start by admitting this is not the genre of fiction I normally read, but as a fan of Icelandic literature I bought it. The atmosphere of rising panic and growing fear was very well executed indeed, as was the portrayal of disintegration of some of the characters into despair or madness. I imagine this book would appeal more to fans of hardcore adventure.

Litter Body Jewelry
Meet Rachael Mann and Mackenzie Burdick, the San Francisco-based siblings behind Litter, a new line of body jewellery that's taking the fashion world by storm - they have just collaborated on jewellery for Christian Cota's spring/summer 2010 presentation and Jasmine di Milo's recent Paris Fashion Week show. Though neither has a jewellery design background - and they never wore traditional jewellery because they found it "boring," the sisters "decided to collaborate together as we both had cool ideas," said Rachael. They began by designing head jewellery then started experimenting with different places on the body - forearm, hand and elbow chains, thumb holsters, garters, delicate torso harnesses, shoe jewellery and, our favourite, a series of tough luxe shoulder pieces, like the antique brass bauble shown here, that are designed to draw attention to well-toned arms. All of Litter's pieces are made from vintage findings, which means they're eco-chic and one of a kind. Just like the woman wearing it. Available at www.littersf.com.
(Elle U.K.)
Interesting......I checked out the website and it features some unique pieces such as leg chains. It appears that a new trend is on the horizon
