Photo of Pamela Salent
Update 8/2 3:40: Pamela Salent, who had gone missing for two days near Bear Creek in Mt. Hood National Forest has been found. She was spotted just before 3 p.m. by a search aircraft while wading through Lindsey creek. Soon after being spotted she was reached by a Hood River Crag Rat's search team. Salent reportedly suffered a leg injury, and a medical helicopter was en route to airlift her out.
From the Hood River County Sherriff's office:
On July 31, 2011, just prior to 8 a.m., the Hood River Sheriff's Office received a call from Aric Essig of Portland, reporting that his girlfriend was missing in the Mt. Hood National Forest.
He said that his girlfriend, twenty-eight year old Pamela Salant, of Portland, was last seen about noon at Bear Lake, located at the base of Mt. Defiance.
Essig and Salant had planned on camping at the lake overnight Saturday. When they arrived at the lake, they had dropped their gear at a campsite. Somehow, the pair were separated at the lake in search of a better overnight spot.
That was the last time Salant was seen. Over twenty-five personnel from the Sheriff's Office, Crag Rats, Search I K-9, US Forest Service Law Enforcement and National Guard searched the area in the vicinity of the lake until midnight Monday.
In addition to ground teams, a helicopter, airplane and three canine teams were activated during Sunday's search. Salant left the campground dressed in dark colored shorts and a dark red or blue tank top. She is described as 5' 3" and 125 lbs with blond hair.
She had no supplies or communications capabilities with her. The Sheriff's Office had two fixed wing aircraft searching the area early Monday morning. Efforts on the ground to locate Salant continue Monday with teams from the Hood River Sheriff's Office, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue and US Forest Service Law Enforcement.
Anyone who may have seen Salant in the area of Bear Lake on Saturday, July 31, are asked to contact the Hood River County Sheriff's Office at 541 386-2711.

Southampton's Shaw fast-tracked into U-21 setup
Southampton left-back Luke Shaw has been rewarded for his recent form with a call-up to the England Under-21 squad for the friendly match with Sweden.
Shaw, 17, joins Manchester United's Phil Jones in Stuart Pearce's squad as well as Liverpool trio Jordan Henderson, Jonjo Shelvey and Raheem Sterling.
Derby County's Will Hughes, 17, who made his debut against Northern Ireland in November, is also included in the 24-man squad for the friendly game on Tuesday, January 5.
"Will Hughes is a real talent in the Championship and he's exciting to watch," Pearce said. "We have to make sure he doesn't play too many games as he's still young but he's worthy of his place in that Derby team as he makes them tick."
Pearce added: "It has been nearly three months since we were last together as a squad, so we are looking forward to meeting up again at St. George's Park to spend time working on our preparations for what will be an important year.
"We've always said that reaching major finals at youth level is vital in a player's development so they can learn about what they might expect, should they progress to the senior team and find themselves at a World Cup or European Championship.
"For a number of the young players lucky enough to experience the Finals in June it will prove to be an invaluable time in Israel, and perhaps a springboard to Roy's side, with Brazil 2014 on the horizon."
Full squad: Ben Amos (Manchester United), Declan Rudd (Norwich City), Jason Steele (Middlesbrough); Ryan Bennett (Norwich City), Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton), Craig Dawson (Bolton Wanderers - loan from West Brom), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Tom Lees (Leeds United), Jack Robinson (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Adam Smith (Millwall - loan from Tottenham Hotspur), Andre Wisdom (Liverpool); Nat Chalobah (Watford - loan from Chelsea), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Will Hughes (Derby County), Henri Lansbury (Nottingham Forest), Jason Lowe (Blackburn Rovers), Josh McEachran (Middlesbrough - loan from Chelsea), Jonjo Shelvey (Liverpool), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool) ;Benik Afobe (Bolton Wanderers - loan from Arsenal), Tom Ince (Blackpool), Connor Wickham (Sunderland), Wilfred Zaha (Crystal Palace - loan from Manchester United)

Salzburg: Birthplace of Amadeus
The hills around Salzburg were alive long before Julie Andrews started running up them! Simon, Niki and Matt introduce you to the birthplace of classical music's ultimate superstar, and tell of the infant Amadeus' most prodigious exploits. The city of the Salzburg Festival, the famous puppet shows, and the belated arrival there of the musical with which Hollywood took Salzburg to the world.
Across Austria to Vienna
Simon, Niki and Matt follow Mozart through magnificent Austrian countryside from Salzburg to imperial Vienna, the irresistible magnet for composers such as Brahms, Mahler, Schubert and Haydn. Their stories and their relationship with the magnificent Habsburg capital are described amid the city's great landmarks.
The Real Song of Norway
A journey through the spectacular mountains, ravines and fjords of Norway, ending in the capital of Oslo, as we follow the life of the country's most beloved composer - Edvard Grieg.
The elemental sights and sounds of Finland, from Helsinki to the snowy vistas of Lapland where Santa has his workshop, are captured in the music of Sibelius. We hear the story of the Finnish musical legend, visit the composer's home of Ainola, and hear his most famous musical work.
St Petersburg
Former capital of Russia, with its canals earning it the description 'Venice of the North', St Petersburg was also home to the composers Borodin, Glinka, Mussorgsky, and the naval officer turned musical painter of the Arabian Nights, Rimsky-Korsakov.
Venice, Vivaldi and the Four Seasons
Antonio Vivaldi spent his most productive years in Venice in the early 18th century. Simon, Niki and Matt tour the canals, bridges and piazzas for which Vivaldi created the perfect soundtrack in his Four Seasons.
Smetana serenaded its river; Dvorak started out as a dance band fiddler; Mozart enjoyed his greatest successes here. We visit the Old Town, where Simon Callow reminisces about filming Amadeus in its beautifully preserved streets.
Germany 1 - Eisenach and the Towns of Bach's Travels
The young J.S. Bach's career path though eastern Germany from his birthplace in Eisenach to Arnstadt and Weimar. In the Wartburg castle we learn about Martin Luther and the birth of the Reformation.
Germany 2 - Leipzig and Mainz
The careers of Bach and Mendelssohn reached their height in Leipzig. Niki performs part of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, and we visit the publishers Schott in the city of Mainz to learn the craft of music engraving and look at the original manuscript of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
The last difficult years of Mozart's short life; Beethoven's tragic deafness; the glamorous but turbulent life of the great 'Waltz King', Johann Strauss the Younger - all these took place in Vienna. Niki exchanges her violin bow for a baton to conduct the Blue Danube with a virtual orchestra in the House of Music.
Tuscany: Verdi and Puccini
More than just one of Italy's most beautiful regions, Tuscany also produced two of the greatest operatic composers. We visit the cities and towns that shaped their lives: Lucca, Pisa, and Milan. Also, there is a tour of the Puccini Villa in the spectacular Torre del Lago.
Bonn and Berlin
We follow Beethoven's troubled early life in his birthplace of Bonn, near which descendents of his family still live and work as winemakers. Then to an indisputably modern city: Berlin, home to one of the world's greatest orchestras.
St Petersburg
In the series finale we return to St Petersburg to meet review some significant figures in its history: Pushkin, Catherine the Great, and Rasputin. Our last tour to a Classical Destination features the music of the composers Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky.

BfS research programme 2013-2017
The Radiation Protection Research Programme describes the medium term research and development planning in the field of radiation protection for 2013 to 2017.
The BfS has been restructured and the research program is now being revised.
The Radiation Protection Research Programme describes the medium term research and development planning in the field of radiation protection for 2013 to 2017.
The research and development activities assumed by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) create the scientific basis upon which the BfS performs its assigned tasks in accordance with the state of science. Consequently, the strategic objectives are as follows:
- To analyse and evaluate radiation exposures and risks which vary or have not yet been sufficiently investigated.
- To establish a sound basis for prevention of future, and management of already existing exposures (e.g. radon indoors) to elevated levels of radiation.
- To work out measures against accidental radiation exposures.
The implementation of these objectives also involves references made to the activities in the field of nuclear safety and nuclear waste management.
Specific projects are deduced from the Research Programme which have to be worked on within the scope of in-house research or by external research contractors. The Research Programme is updated regularly.

For the first time in five years, US gasoline prices are falling as the Memorial Day holiday begins.
For the 28 million Americans expected to hit the road this weekend, lower gasoline prices will give them more money to spend on ice cream, shrimp po' boys, or a new pair of sunglasses. That may help assuage the frustration of hitting a traffic bottleneck or waiting for a stalled car to be moved.
It will also help people feel better about the economy, since gasoline expenses represent an instant out-of-pocket expense.
"It's like a tax cut, a multibillion-dollar tax cut," says economist Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pa. "No question, it's good news."
On a state-by-state basis, AAA says, the five most expensive places at the gas pump are Hawaii ($3.55 a gallon), Alaska ($3.50), Utah ($3.05), California ($3.04), and Idaho ($3.02). The least expensive states are Missouri ($2.52), Ohio ($2.55), South Carolina ($2.58), Oklahoma ($2.59), and Tennessee ($2.62).
The average US price of regular gasoline is now $2.75 a gallon, according to AAA. This is down from $2.87 a month ago. However, it's 30 cents a gallon higher than Memorial Day last year – but prices were on the rise then, not falling.
The last time gasoline prices fell leading up to Memorial Day was in 2005, says the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Back then, prices dropped about 10 cents a gallon from the beginning of May to the end of that month.
Behind the recent fall, says Neil Gamson, an analyst at EIA in Washington, is a drop of about $20 a barrel in the price of crude oil. On May 3, a barrel of West Texas Intermediate sold for $86 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. By May 25, it had dropped to $65 a barrel.
"A lot of the drop is due to the uncertainty around the European debt situation, with the prospects of diminished economic growth in Europe and even the US," Mr. Gamson says. Reduced economic growth usually means less demand for energy and cheaper oil prices.
At the same time, crude supplies have been plentiful. "There is a big surplus of oil at Cushing," says Gamson, referring to the Oklahoma storage hub that holds anywhere from 5 percent to 10 percent of US inventory.
Some of that oil is being used to meet rising gasoline demand as the economy has picked up. "Demand is definitely on the upswing, but not overwhelmingly strong," says Sander Cohan, a gasoline analyst at Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Wakefield, Mass.
Refiners, he says, have increased their output to meet the higher demand. "But there is still capacity available. There is some wiggle room," he explains.
In past years, the price of gasoline has risen before Memorial Day because refiners have had to produce "summer blends" that burn cleaner. At times the cost of those blends has soared, adding to the price at the pump. But this year, the amount of blended gasoline in storage is larger than the amount of unblended gasoline, says Mr. Cohan. This is giving refiners the ability to react quickly to increases in demand, he adds.
In past Memorial Days, consumers have sometimes watched as gas stations raised prices for the three-day weekend. But this weekend may be different, Cohan says. "There is a lot more competition to sell that gallon of gasoline," he says.
For many Memorial Day destinations, that's good news. For example, 30 million people are within a gas tank of the beaches in the New Jersey community of Avalon, notes Scott Wahl, a spokesman for the community. "With gas prices low, it only helps," he says. "We're expecting a lot of day-trippers."
Proof that the low gasoline prices are helping the town: On Friday morning, he says, the streets and sidewalks already had a busy summer-day feel. "I've been here since 1979, and this is the most crowded I've seen on an early Friday," he says.

"They were carefully cultivated, manipulated and deceived," said one Blanding resident, "by an undercover agent who was throwing around hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"He was offering up to $500 for an arrowhead. Trading a worthless old arrowhead for $500 has got to be tempting for someone who has financial problems."
Blanding resident Bryce Redd, who displays an impressive collection of arrowheads and artifacts at the Parley Redd True Value Store in Blanding, wonders if he may have been targeted by the undercover agent, who is identified simply as the "Source" in court documents.
"A complete stranger came into the store and asked about our collection, which has been on display for decades," said Redd. "I told him that it belonged to the family and was put together by my grandparents. He told me that it had to be worth up to $20,000, but I had no interest in selling it."
Redd said that he didn't think much about the incident until the raids of the past week.
The events have reminded many local residents of similar raids in May, 1986, when federal agents executed search warrants in a number of Blanding area homes.
The 1986 raids became a public relations nightmare for the federal agencies and the characterization of gun-toting federal agents has stuck among many area residents.
More on the raid... Federal antiquities charges filed on 24 High ranking officials hold press conference Prominent local physician takes life Wide range of items on antiquities list Up to 150 agents involved in raid Local officials not involved in raid, case James DeMar Redd obituary

WATERFORD, Conn. - Led by Julia Espel's strong race, MIT placed third at the NEWMAC Cross Country Championships hosted by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Waterford, Conn. The Engineers' 80 points put them just three points ahead of the host Bears. Wheaton College out-dueled Wellesley for the team championship.
Only two other runners in MIT's cross country annals have bettered Espel's bronze medal placing in the conference championship (Debbie Won and Martha Buckley), as the the co-captain moved up six places in the final mile and made a valiant attempt to run down the second-place finisher. Sophomore Karen Condon returned to action to finish 16th, one place out of All-Conference consideration, and was pushed by the freshmen trio of Kristen Burrell (18th), Erika Erickson (21st), and Gwendolyn Johnson (22nd).
Coming at the end of an injury-filled season, the performance was satisfying for the squad, as it was the first meet that the top five had run in together for the year.
"The team not only met expectations, but exceeded the form chart leading into the meet", noted Coach Paul Slovenski. "And with four of our top six finishers just freshmen, we were the youngest team on the course."
Adding to the team effort, MIT was for first of the ten squads to have their five scoring finishers across the line, had the smallest time gap between first and fifth runner, and showed considerable depth with ten finishers in the among the top 50. After this week's workout schedule, the seven-runner roster will be finalized to compete in the New England Division III championship, and NCAA qualifying race at Twin Brook Park in Cumberland, Maine.

Vegan Crunk Omni Test
Here I am, hard at work in the kitchen:
I'm sporting my Christmas apron because my all-purpose cupcake apron was dirty. Here are my guests — Greg (the only vegetarian), Jesse, Shara, and Tyler (the omnis):
On the menu were Dijon-Pecan Seitan Medallions with Maple-Butter Glaze:
Jesse proclaimed that this tasted a lot like chicken. Score! It's always a plus when a non-vegan thinks vegan food tastes like meat.
We also had some of my Granny's Corn Casserole:
That white stuff is Tofutti cream cheese. This is one of my favorite side dishes of all time!
And we had hearty bowls of Country Potato Soup with Whole Wheat Biscuits for dippin':
And Jesse requested these Butterscotch Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream and Butterscotch Ganache for dessert:
Most of ya'll have seen these before, in my post from my best friend Sheridan's birthday in August. It's the basic Sexy Low-fat Vanilla Cupcake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World with added butterscotch chips (which negates the low-fat part! oops!). I made the ganache the same way you'd make chocolate ganache, but with butterscotch.
Overall, I think the dinner party was a success. I doubt Shara, Jesse, or Tyler will convert to veganism any time soon, but at least I tried to lure them into our vegan cult (ahahahahaha ... that's my evil laugh).

Hi all,
I was one of the lucky dinner party guests, and I'll confirm that all of this food was DELICIOUS!!! I especially loved the seitan. I've never had it before, and it really did have a meaty texture and taste. The soup: amazing! The corn: oh my god...the BOMB. And the cupcakes, well, obviously those were indulgently delicious!
I'm totally lucky to have such an awesome vegan chef and friend in my life. I washed dishes after, but I still owe her one for this!

The Republican Party's only job is to give in and take the blame. You can blame Ted Cruz and the tea party, but they are the only ones showing any fight against federal distortions of our market from both Democratic and Republican "leadership."
There are no federal solutions to federal dysfunction. The balance and separation of powers was upset and reversed with the income tax. Federal income taxation directly imposed on individuals by the 16th Amendment eliminated our line of defense by the states from federal tyrants. The 17th Amendment did the same.
Before 1913, the states appointed their members of the U.S. Senate and that gave the states a voice and a veto vote to stop all those federal rules from being jammed down the throats of the states and the people.
The States have not had a voice in our federal government since 1913. Before the 17th Amendment, the federal government was an extension of the states and not the reverse.
Repeal the 16th and 17th amendments and put the buffers and balance back between the people and the states, and their designing federal masters. Let the states collect sales tax to send the greedy feds their fair share, and abolish the Internal Revenue Service.

I agree with parts, though not all of this vid.
Where I agree with her is that from the very beginning I have been put off by the old-boys-club attitude of the "new atheists". They are often misogynistic, no matter how loud they may shout they are not.
But unfortunately, I come from a different background than most atheists, I was never part of any brainwashing religion, my parents raised us in neutral, questioning, rational territory, without the need to ever be putting down others. What the "others" thought simply didn't matter that much.
It's also the reason why I entirely dislike using the word atheism, because of these old boys who are trying to define "atheism" to reflect their own western capitalistic WASP values (minus deities), but still the overall same set of values (except for homosexuality, as if homophobia was, the single,the one great topic that distinguishes "us" from "them", I beg to disagree, homophobia is only a grain of sand on the beach of the negative impacts of religion on our society).
I am atheist, but I do not practice atheism. I am atheist from the scientific standpoint, not from the Humanist standpoint. In the past couple of decades, secular Humanists have been taking over atheist organisations, and trying to make atheism=Humanism. But that is an error for atheists. It is simply trading one religion for another.
For the same reasons... I stopped watching Pat Condell, I think he hates women more than he hates religion.
But the other issue here is proselytising... I was never one to spread the atheist option, I used to shut up about it, because "we should be nice to all humans". Well I no longer feel that way. We've been OVERLY nice to humans for the past two millennia, it's why our numbers are so high today, we are obsessed with being nice to each other, and frankly, I think the time for being nice is a little past. So I do see it as important that atheists speak out about their ideas (not atheism, belch), our ideas are very diverse, and we are not all obsessed with imperialism and physics and conquering other planets for the resources we have depleted here.
I really wish I had known Madalyn Murray Ohair, from the videos I've watched I think she was a much better spokesperson for atheists than are the "horsemen". She focused on fixing things right here, rather than being all preachy to other nationalities and cultures.
So "atheism" on the internet, blah... I use atheist social forums to vent frustrations from the real world, and re-energise myself. I never waste a second arguing with religious people, or on forums strategising on that topic, but I like my debates with people in between, like agnostics (can't decide either way crowd) and Buddhists (who claim that since their gods are earthly they don't count), those are the ones I attempt to reach in the real world, because they are the ones who'll in turn reach the really religious, because they share some common ground, the search for divinity, which I do not. I don't understand religious folks, I never have and probably never will, I pity them, because they are usually not religious through their own choices but through brainwashing, so I can't really blame them as recipients of lies, but I do get on their asses when they propagate their lies.
The other parts of the video I disagree with are the terminology of light (us) and dark (them). That is old school enlightenment and Humanist lingo, again portraying "us" as better "enlightened" humans, whereas they (today and all humanity throughout history) are but animals, when we know full well that previous millennia of humans were not stupid, and not necessarily religious, they were simply living in a world that was more limited by the scope of human biology, whereas today's humans have harnessed technologies which means humans know no limits. Humans not knowing any limits (Humanism) is as bad a god complex as any religion that has come before, as long as atheists cling to such passe language to describe ourselves, we are not moving ahead, we are but perpetuating past patterns of human error.
Just so's you know: I used light/dark ironically. First, when TF said "black and white," since I'm very conscious of the implicit racism of this mindset, as well as the sexist history of woman as "evil." I also used that Derp photo "Are you a wizard?" as a character of how loud atheists define people who aren't very educated and are theistic (whom they lump in with ass hats like Comfort, who are just professional con men, not authentic people). I hope I made clear that the believers in my town are not bad folk, but could be dangerous to me, if they figure me out. And I sincerely believe it wouldn't hurt the planet if most of the human population got to, at least once, peer through the lenses of telescopes and microscopes. I'm far more concerned about those children in Africa, reviled as "witches" than I am about the Magic Sandwich Show, for sure! Thanks for a BEAUTIFUL comment!
I don't get it - can you please give some context to this You Tube? :)
The historical references to other YouTube videos is listed in the description bar, under the video.
Almost 8 years out of religion and I hear you. I was angry for a while and sometimes I still am, but even I recently wrote about such behaviours. What started my blog rant was said YouTube atheist, I won't name names, was being abusive to theists- cussing at them, calling them stupid, etc etc. Now my mother is, admittedly delusional, but I do not appreciate abusive word towards her because she is a delusional Xian. No one should call another stupid with "F" words etc. That is right up there with the religious abuse many of us experienced, IMO. That's not why I don't believe though (it's all mythology). From my view, I could not help but think of my Fundie mother, Fundie aunt, and some friends who are still fundies and I could not stand the YouTube video, full of abusive words, was directed at them. I'm a humanist, an atheist, but that is not the kind of atheism I want to present to others. I prefer a more humanistic atheism (I know redundant, but abusive atheism is what I'm distinguishing). To spew the F word, MF word, and other abusive words at theists, will not get them to listen, as you said. Just because many of us received religious abuse while we were in it, does not mean we should return the abuse after we are out, but that's my rant and apparently part of yours too, Rogi
It takes great composure, discipline and emotional grounding to respond, rather than react, to theism. We say we're rational. Let's comport ourselves that way, then. Now, I do have some YouTube friends who use colorful language -- as slam poetry, hip hop, rap, etc. It's fun and funny and not meant to condemn anybody's grandma, you know? But listen to Thunderf00t's voice in this: he is literally HISSING at a Muslim woman! LOL Hokey SMOKES! He sure did a lot to prove her right, that we're all just a bunch of demonic evil, huh? LOL Oh, the testosterone levels!
I'm not talking about the hip-hop and alike stuff, he was literally screamed abusive stuff at theists, which I did not see any justification in doing so. If I told you who he was, you might say, "Oh him." Of course, I probably just narrowed it down.
I think this is the problem with labelling in general. Just because I label myself an atheist, humanist, freethinker, naturalist etc - doesn't mean that I totally agree with everyone else who label's themselves the same. In fact this is impossible, due to our totally different circumstances. When I label myself, it's because I am attracted too or agree strongly with the fundamental premises of the group. But there are so many interpretations. In a way, it's more about joining with a group than being something - but joining with a group that I have shared values, beliefs or lifestyle.
Trying to stop people labelling themselves something that we also choose to label ourselves, because we don't agree just isn't possible and leads to ideas akin to ethnic cleansing and the like. Atheist is a very broad term anyhow, and only means that we don't believe in God - it doesn't mean that we have moral values or a disire to respect and educate others. If we want to subscribe to groups that are atheist and have moral values look to Humanism, Naturalism or Rationalism etc.
Atheism is as broad as saying I'm a consumer of orange juice - and then getting upset when someone else who drinks orange juice starts abusing someone.
OK, say your mother is a Fundie, would you allow another atheist to speak to her in an abusive manner? I'm not talking about debating her views, but calling her names to her face? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we need to draw the line somewhere. Calling them stupid MFs is abusive and IMO not acceptable.
My mother WAS a fundie. She beat me into brain injuries and mutilated by genitals by trying to pull them off with her fingernails. All in the name of g*d, because I was "evil." I couldn't give a damn what happens to her. I'm not calling anybody names; it is not the point of my video and your concerns are off topic. They need to be addressed to the people with whom you're having problems, not me.
My relatives, a couple ministers, enabled my bio-father's sexual abuse with their religious views. To this day my mother insists she had no choice due to God's will and alike. sigh. She'll never get it and will never admit she could have stopped it years sooner than she did.
I agree, speaking to anyone in an abusive manner is morally wrong. Those people are caught in patterns that have been modelled to them, and have worked for them. If their circumstances were different they would have been different. If they had been modelled non-violent expression of feelings, needs and requests they would have more chance of having better moral values. But it's not just modelling that provides us with our personality and character. It's our genes and our bio-chemistry.
I read a story not long ago about a man who was of normal character, then over time he started to become violent, in the end he went out on a killing rampage. It turned out that he had a large tumour that had been growing inside his head, pushing on the part of the brain that deals with emotion control and stimulated the aggression and violent behaviour.
There are atheists who are abusive, there are Catholics who are paedophiles, there are Judges, nurses, doctors, social workers who are abusive. The world isn't perfect. It doesn't imply that all people with these titles are also abusive or paedophiles. I think they call it bad apples.

The ultimate home fragrance
Two years ago when my husband died, a friend sent me a gift box from Thymes. Inside was a Manderin Coriander candle and home fragrance. I can't begin to tell you how therapeutic those two products were for me at that time. The aromatherapy they provided always gave me a sense of calm. Since that time I have given these products as gifts to people I love. They are magical in the soothing, fresh scent they provide. There has never been a home fragrance before Manderin Coriander that matches my desire for a fresh, clean,citrus scent, that softly lingers in a room.

Now let's say, for argument's sake, that you're trying to think of a way to keep Somali pirates from attacking your cruise or military ship. (I know, I KNOW, your job has nothing to do with pirates, and if it did, you'd prefer it had to do the sort of pirate that's actually Johnny Depp wearing a costume and hair extensions, but, like I said -- for argument's sake. K?!) Anyway, if for some reason you absolutely had to come up with a pirate deterrent, what would it be?? Would you use: a.) Cannons b.) Other, scarier pirates c.) A crocodile with a ticking clock in its stomach OR d.) Britney Spears??
According to the merchant navy, the correct answer is d.) Britney Spears.
Yes, it's true: The U.K.'s merchant navy has found that the best way to keep Somali pirates at bay is to blast American pop music, as the Somalians apparently despise Western culture so intensely. But not just any American pop music -- American pop music by Britney Spears. And not just any American pop music by Britney Spears -- " ... Baby One More Time" and "Oops! I Did It Again," specifically.
(Aww, man! I totally hope they play "Scream and Shout." Can you imagine?? "It's Britney, BITCH!")
Anyway. I swear, swear, swear I'm not making this up. As one officer explained it, "As soon as the pirates get a blast of Britney they move on as quickly as they can."
Wow. WOWOWOWOWOW. Britney should get a medal of honor or something, don't you think? And I want to know when the U.S. militay is gonna jump on the Britney Defense bandwagon! Have our Armed Forces thorougly explored this brilliant tactic??
Either way, if Britney's smart, she'll find a way to incorporate this whole thing into her Vegas show. Dancers dressed up like pirates, Britney in a military-themed costume ... I can see it now!!
Are you surprised to hear that Somali pirates can't stand Britney Spears?

More news about: Bethany
Oct 27, 2012
Junior quarterback Matt Grimard had a hand in three touchdowns and broke two school records and the Bethany College football team used 20 fourth-quarter points to rally for a 26-13 victory at Thiel Saturday.
The game had a tough start for the Bison (2-6, 2-4). After a nice return on the opening kickoff, the Tomcats (2-6, 2-4) needed to drive just 47 yards to hit the end zone, as QB Andrew Smith snuck over from a yard out to give Thiel a 7-0 lead. The Bison offense sputtered in the first quarter, posting just one first down, although BC did reach the Thiel 29 before turning the ball over on downs.
Bethany began moving the ball in the second quarter, but missed opportunities haunted the Green and White. After turning the ball over on downs again after reaching the TC 31, the Bison defense stepped up with an interception by senior safety Simeon Young. His return to the Tomcat 25 put Bethany in business, but Thiel's defense stopped the threat with an interception in the end zone.
The Bison finally got on the board late in the half. The 10-play, 79-yard march culminated in a 14-yard touchdown scamper on a fourth-and-one by Grimard, who completed six passes for 44 yards during the drive. The extra point was no good, but the touchdown, which came with 36 seconds to go in the half, made it a 7-6 Thiel advantage at the break.
Both teams missed chances to put points on the board in the third quarter. Bethany came up short on a fourth-and-four play at Thiel's 19, while the Tomcats reached the BC 22 and also failed to convert on a fourth-and-four situation. A short Bison punt then gave Thiel good field position and they drove into the red zone. But the Bison defense again delivered a turnover, as junior safety Jordan Joyce intercepted a pass at the Bethany 13.
That Thiel miscue turned the tide in the Bison's favor. Following the pick, Grimard and freshman wide receiver Eric Blinn hooked up three times for 56 yards on the ensuing drive. That highlighted the 12-play, 87-yard march, which ended on a five-yard scoring run by Grimard to put Bethany in the lead for good. The two-point conversion attempt failed, so the Bethany lead stood at 12-7 with 14 minutes left in the game.
Bethany forced a quick Thiel punt on its next drive, but the Tomcats then picked off a Grimard aerial. Just two plays later, Joyce snared his second interception of the game and a short return put BC at the Tomcat 43. On the next snap, Grimard tossed a 43-yard touchdown pass to Blinn to extend the Bethany lead to 19-7. Following another Tomcat punt, the Bison turned to the ground game, running five plays to gain 59 yards, with the final blow being an 11-yard scoring jaunt by sophomore Phil Acrie that gave Bethany a comfortable 26-7 margin.
Thiel would put a late TD on the board to make the final score 26-13 for the Bison, who turned in their best defensive performance of the season. The Green and White limited the Tomcats to just 59 yards passing and 283 total yards for the game. Senior linebacker Gage Lotozo turned in a team-high nine tackles, including 2.5 for loss and one sack. Joyce added seven hits to go with his two interceptions and Young also made seven stops and had an INT.
Grimard's day included 26 completions for 293 yards and one touchdown to go along with two rushing scores. He broke Bob Fromm's Bethany records for career completions and passing yards, as Grimard has now connected on 475 passes for 5,912 yards. He adds that to his career total yards record that he broke two weeks ago.
Pacing the BC rushing attack was Acrie with 55 yards on 12 carries. Blinn posted his second straight huge game on the outside with eight receptions for 182 yards and a touchdown. It's the most receiving yards in a game by a BC wideout since Matt Cruse turned in 186 against Thiel in Oct., 2009. Senior WR Johnathan Foster continued his strong play of late with eight more catches, giving him 28 in the last three games.
The Bison will close out the regular season with a pair of home contests. First up is a visit from Thomas More next Saturday for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Bison Stadium.

What's Working in America
by Jamie Dimon and Peter Scher
America works. It's as true today as it has ever been.
In cities and towns across the country, governments are functioning and improving people's lives. Businesses are opening, innovating, growing and hiring. Non-profits are developing practical ways to address complex problems.
We do not read enough about the positive success stories. But it's fundamental to the strength of our economy and our nation. We need to pay more attention to those examples of progress, because if we don't we risk losing opportunities to learn from them, emulate them and create more opportunity for more Americans to achieve economic progress.
At JPMorgan Chase & Co., we see examples every day of people and organizations that are making things work for our country. Our more than 260,000 team members in the United States and around the world join families, businesses, non-profits and government agencies in identifying and achieving their goals for projects large and small. We have been fortunate to partner with many extraordinary people — entrepreneurs who are building ambitious, forward-looking companies; non-profit leaders who are devising new ways to address old challenges; and local government officials who zero in on solving vexing problems in their own communities.
Here, we will showcase some of those stories. We'll see how non-profits are using data analytics to help workers attain the skills they need to meet the demands of today's job markets. We'll examine small businesses that are looking at globalization not as a threat, but as an opportunity for growth and job creation. We'll spotlight leaders in government who are making their local economies more competitive by adopting best practices from the business sector, the non-profit sector and other metropolitan areas.
Through these stories, some themes will emerge that are vitally important: the role of data and analysis; the opportunities that come from scaling up effective models and ending programs that no longer work; the enduring demand for dynamic leadership; the critical importance of convening and connecting the right people and organizations to exponentially grow our collective impact; and the need for the private sector to step up and do its part to address our country's economic, social and environmental challenges.
Our hope is that these stories will not just be inspiring, but also instructive. We need to focus on the things that are working in this country not only because it makes us feel good, but because it points the way toward how all of us – businesses, non-profits and governments at all levels – can be doing more and doing better. By building upon what works, we can accelerate our progress against even our most difficult challenges, and continue the long American tradition of success.

goodsmile does great work, i cant wait for this figure, i'll definately get it.
i was a little disappointed with my genshiken saki figure though. the skin color was a little too dark and the over figure looked too plasticy, such as the hair and clothes. but their yakumo and tenma figures were great, i hope this one is too.

So, another SR game after a one year interval, this time with the season two VAs (Mako and Hirano Aaya).
Hm, wondering if the bathing suit type games are becoming a contagious trend, with the releases of the recent Shakugan no SHANA and Mahou Sensei! Negima games.
I reckon that plot will make full use of the fact that most of the 2-C girls can't swim, probably with an unexpected (un)dressing scene, likely to involve Harima and Eri, but then again, this is season two so I could be totally wrong.

Release date: August 2
Of course I need not to explain that it refers to Tsukamoto siblings, Tenma (Koshimizu Ami) and Yakumo (Noto Mamiko).
Wonder what the song title and theme will be like? Looking forward to the new ending sequence too.
Which reminds me of the other Koshimizu Ami duet a while back, which I had to endure for six months.

My favorite part was when the dad and boy went through their neighbor's farm. Then they saw the ghosts hanging on the clothesline. This part was scary when I first read Ghosts for Breakfast.
The boy changed in the story. In the beginning when they went out he was scared before they saw the ghosts but in the end he was brave. I felt a little scared too but then I thought the ghosts were just towels.
I think others should read this book because it was a surprise ending to find out what the ghosts were. If you like mysteries come on and read mine.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's tennis team dropped their Atlantic Sun Conference record to 1-7 on Friday when they fell 5-2 to Florida Gulf Coast at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center in Nashville.
"I was happy with the way our freshmen showed up today and competed from the start," head coach Andrew Harris said. "Jenny and Deahna won at No. 1 doubles and then won their singles matches respectively. We should get some rest though tonight for Stetson in the morning. Hopefully, tomorrow we can have a complete effort and send the seniors off."
Freshmen Deahna Welcher and Jenny Borck were the highlight of the match. The duo picked up the Lady Bison's only win in doubles competition. The pair defeated Marina Diez and Morgan Bechtel 8-2 at the No. 1 spot.
At No. 2 doubles, seniors Elizabeth Keevil and Danielle Hansen fell to Gyanna Mandic and Jen Evans 8-3, while sophomore Alyssa Bellini and senior Samantha Bowman were defeated by Bettin Botha and Sarah Means 8-5 at No. 3.
The Lady Bisons headed into singles play with an early 1-0 deficit. While LU was unable to string together enough singles wins to overcome FGCU's tough play, Welcher and Borck were able to post two points for Lipscomb.
Welcher recorded a solid 6-2, 6-4 win over Bechtel at No. 2, while Borck pulled out a three-set win after dropping the first set. She came back to easily win the second and third sets, defeating Botha 4-6, 6-2, 6-1.
Bellini fell at No. 1 to Means 7-5, 6-3, while Keevil was defeated at No. 4 by Evans.
At No. 5, Hansen lost to Mandic 6-3, 7-5, and Bowman suffered a 6-1, 7-5 loss to Diez.
The Lady Bisons return to the courts Saturday, hosting Stetson in the final match of 2012. Match play will begin at 9 a.m. at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 20, 2013) – For ETSU men's basketball's strength and conditioning coach Ben Gleason, preparing the Buccaneers for success on the court requires more than simple weight training and cardiovascular workouts.
Gleason has spent time this semester educating the Bucs on the value of good dietary habits, and in an effort to emphasize the importance of eating well, Gleason planned a trip to the nearby Food City located on West Market Street in Johnson City to give ETSU's players tips on what types of foods to purchase.
"We want to teach them the importance of basic nutrition and specifically what types of foods help in sports such as basketball," Gleason said. "It's also important to give tips for eating well on a tight budget, and then also being able to prepare meals on their own."
Gleason said he's taking a tiered approach that involves the following:
The trip to the Food City store fit as a fourth tier activity.
"Coach (Murry) Bartow has encouraged Brett Lewis (ETSU's men's basketball athletic trainer) and I to coordinate the pre-game meals and post-game meals in whatever way possible to ensure our players are getting a competitive edge and setting up optimal recovery," Gleason said. "During the store visit, we showed players the foods that meet their in-season nutrient needs and are easy on the wallet. Ideally, our players are never skipping meals, and having food available in their rooms or apartments is the most effective way to address this critical need.
Gleason also said he's battling social norms and the regular behavior of college students.
"Because our players are a sample of today's college students, many tend to lean toward fast food options for meals that may be convenient, but lack the proper nutrient balance to support their in-practice energy demands, etc. Education is a major part of optimal performance," Gleason said.

Exclusive Interview: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee talked with MACTV President Menelik Zeleke
United States Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX 18th District) says the United States needs to raise its debt limit so as to allow it continue to reach out developing countries especially in Africa.
In an exclusive interview with MACTV, the Congresswoman who represents Texas in Congress said that both parties need to agree on bipartisan basis so as not to put the world's largest economy at risk of default and downgrade of its status. She told MACTV if the U.S. default of its obligations to raised the debt ceiling limit it will have major impact on the crises facing drought stuck Horn of Africa where hundreds of thousands of people risk starving to death.
According to Jackson, due to the inability for both parties to agree the global markets have been negatively affected with the Dow Jones dropping over 200 points, just as Asian markets have also recorded dramatic drop.
This, she pointed out is not good not only to the developed markets,but most especially for the developing markets that leverage on the growth indices of the advanced markets.
The Congresswoman told MACTV that instead of an opportunity for both parties to unite and move the economy, she is rather shocked to hear individuals saying no surrender, a language she said, is not appropriate for the American people.
Commenting on the activities of the tea party, the Congresswoman said it is unfortunate that they are trying to play game with the nation's economy saying that will precipitate a global financial crisis which no one needs at a time like now.
"We need to be focusing on what is best for America now," she noted.

With a grasp of the controls under your belt, you can embark upon one of the game's four modes: exhibition, tournament, career, and online play. Exhibition allows you to get a quick fix: you select your game type (singles or doubles), difficulty level, and then pick a player from the roster. 2K Sports went out of their way to get noticeable figures from the tennis world and it shows. Stars like Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Boris Becker, and Bjorn Borg are available. You can also use a custom character that you've created (more on this in a bit). Tournament Mode allows you to jump into well-known events from the tennis world such as the U.S. and Australian Open. This mode essentially plays like a string of exhibition matches, but with more structure.
The mode that will absorb most players' time is the Career Mode. It all starts with the robust character creator. After selecting a base model, you can fine-tune nearly everything about your character. From age to hair styles to custom animations and tattoos, you could literally spend an hour just making your character. The options at your disposal are ridiculously complex. For example, the morphology tool allows you to pick individual points on a face and stretch or tighten them - just be careful or you might end up with someone resembling the Elephant Man. Once you start winning matches in Career Mode, the game rewards you with XP and unlock points. XP works in a RPG fashion and can be used to level up individual parts of your character (like forehand power and accuracy). Unlock points function as in-game cash. You use them at a virtual, multi-floored mall to purchase new shoes, racquets, shirts, and shorts. They're all purely cosmetic, but offer a nice way to distinguish your character from the rest.
Since Top Spin 3 is a sports game, it comes with that particular genre's graphical baggage. That means while the player models look quite good, other areas are rougher around the edges - the crowds repeat with the same handful of lifeless caricatures and the stadiums seem like they could have used more detail. The audio side has this same kind of half-good, half-bad feel. Tennis noises, like crowd chatter and racquet swings, all come off as authentic, but the soundtrack falters. Made up entirely of licensed tracks, none of the songs seem to really fit a tennis vibe. It's a little weird to be creating a custom player while Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" plays in the background.
Multiplayer definitely gives the game legs - it's just a shame the performance is so inconsistent. For this review, multiplayer matches (both singles and doubles) were tested on multiple occasions and the latency was always different. On one occasion, the connection completely gave out; on another it lagged significantly, stuttering every five seconds. Only one match was seemingly lag-free. Still, the ability to jump online and challenge other players (either using your custom player or picking from pros) is a nice offering.
Top Spin 3 knows its market - this is a game aimed at tennis buffs who appreciate a simulation approach to their favorite sport. Like all realistic takes, there's a steep learning curve (thanks to the game's controls) that will probably frustrate more gamers than win over new converts. Virtua Tennis fans need not apply; this is tennis done more accurately...for better or worse. The game may not serve up an ace, but it makes for a solid set.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A 7-1 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters helped propel UMass Dartmouth to a 10-4 victory over MIT in a non-conference men's lacrosse game on Tuesday night. Dan Piemont scored all four of the Engineers' goals while Stephen Espinola led the Corsairs' balanced attack with three goals.
After a scoreless first quarter, Josh Arsenault put UMass Dartmouth on the board with 9:04 left in the half. Paul Nunes increased the visitors' edge just over two minutes later with a man-up goal. Piemont responded with an extra-man tally of his own that was set-up by Nick Sisler late in the quarter.
With a man advantage early in the third frame, Adam Niden connected on a pass from Arsenault to make the score 3-1 in favor of the Corsairs. MIT countered with back-to-back goals from Piemont with Will Waste earning the assist on the equalizer at the 8:05 mark.
A minute later, Arsenault redirected a feed from Alex Reposa to give UMass Dartmouth the lead for good. A pair of solo efforts from Espinola increased the margin to 6-3, but Piemont buried a shot that was assisted by Alex Andrzejewski, keeping the hosts within striking distance.
The Corsairs' Nick Brett bookended the fourth-quarter scoring as Espinola and Niden posted unassisted goals.
Sisler and Timothy Wilczynski both collected five groundballs while Justin Myers was 12-of-17 in faceoffs for the Engineers. In net, Christopher Rullan amassed 16 saves.
Arsenault finished with two goals. an assist, and two caused turnovers while Brett and Niden both scored twice. Ryan Holbrook and Nunes totaled five groundballs apiece as Steve Tarpey notched three caused turnovers. Goalie Nick Thayer came away with 11 saves for the Corsairs.
UMass Dartmouth recorded a 47-20 advantage in shots and converted 15 of its 17 clearing attempts. MIT, meanwhile, won 13-of-18 faceoffs but committed 31 turnovers compared to 14 by the Corsairs.
Both squads will open up conference play on the road on Saturday, April 2. MIT (1-3) will travel to Pilgrim League foe Clark University while UMass Dartmouth (7-0) visits Little East Conference rival Keene State College.

Featured Ingredient: Carrots
I've been meaning for sometime to adapt iconic carrot cake to the muffin tin. And now that the mercury has begun its descent here in Ontario, what better time to make this cherished comfort food dessert.
Nutritionally, carrots are a winner. Bugs Bunny's food of choice is well-endowed with beta-carotene. In the body, beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A which functions to improve immunity and eye health. On its own, beta-carotene is a potent antioxidant so it helps disarm those pesky free-radicals that prowl our bodies looking for cells to attack.
The problem I often have with many carrot cakes is that they are much too sweet. Not only is the cake overloaded with sugar but the frosting is pumped full of the sweet stuff, too. And let's face it, carrot cake is really all about the frosting and the layer of loveliness it provides. This one is delicately sweetened with maple syrup with a whisper of vanilla that brought the home cook much approbation from his girlfriend. I am starting to think that she whishes the frosting could be a food group on the pyramid.
I was not sure about adding the molasses at first, but I think it gives the cakes a little kick of robustness that works well. I added some coconut flour for added nutrition and the hint of sweetness it provides. You could use other flours as well or just a cup and half of whole wheat pastry flour. Forget the all-purpose white stuff – it's a nutritional dud.
Next time I make these I would consider tossing in some raisins as well. Anyone have other thoughts for some tasty additional ingredients?
Carrot Molasses Cakes
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup coconut flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs
½ cup sugar of choice
2 Tbsp molasses
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup oil
1 cup shredded carrot
5 oz (about 5 Tbsp) cream cheese, room temperature
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine pastry flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs and stir in sugar, molasses, water, vanilla, oil and carrot. Combine wet and dry ingredients until no dry flour remains. Divide mixture among 10 greased or paper lined muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
As the cakes bake, whip together cream cheese, maple syrup and vanilla. Unmold cakes and top with cream cheese frosting.

Most Monday mornings in our kitchen at the Mighty Eighth one of the long-time volunteers, Frank Paro, makes his rounds giving out hugs and smiles.
When he gets to me, I ask about his weekend and, since he is a minister of music, I ask if he had a good day in the house of the Lord. His response is, "Oh yeah, and we had 14 for lunch." The number varies, but there is always a crowd.
One day I asked if his wife cooked every Sunday. "She and her sister do. They rotate one week at our house and one week at her sister's house," he replied. And for those of you who are wondering, yes, his wife and sister attend church and still cook lunch for something akin to a mini family reunion every Sunday.
I asked Mr. Frank to bring these remarkable women to lunch one day so I could sit down and have a chat about their Sunday lunch. I met the Nelms girls, Leila Nelms Jenkins and Jeannie Nelms Paro, one Wednesday for lunch. We talked and talked and talked. They brought pictures of their mother and of some of their Sunday dinner spreads and shared stories of growing up.
The Nelms girls grew up in Savannah on U.S. 17 when it was a major highway. Their father had a gas station and their mother was pretty much a stay-at-home mom only working to help their dad at the gas station. Every morning began with a full breakfast.
"Mother made biscuits three times a day," they told me.
Lunch and dinner followed breakfast every day. Sunday lunch was special because their mother would invite neighbors and people from church to join them. Their Sunday table was always full. Sometimes during lunch there might be a knock on the back screen door. A hitchhiker or a "hobo" as they were called then in search of a hot meal would be given a plate of hot food out the back door.
Growing up, their tables were graced with food from the garden or a trip to the farmers market. Sustainability wasn't a buzz word back then, it was a way of life. Electric dishwashers weren't around yet so the Nelms sisters rotated and fought over whose turn it was to wash the dishes before returning to church for Sunday night services.
As the women spoke about their mother you could almost feel the love and family bond pulsing through their bodies. Their mother died at the young age of 52 with a brain aneurism. The sisters were left to raise their younger brother and take care of their dad. Leila married first and Jeannie took over as the woman of the house.
One night during a revival service, a young serviceman who was stationed in town was asked to do a solo. He was given the choice of the organist or the piano player as an accompanist.
"Which one isn't married?" he quipped.
It was the piano player, Jeannie Nelms. The organist, Leila Nelms had just recently married. Mr. Frank fell in love, but unfortunately Jeannie was about to get engaged to another man, which she did a few months later. Mr. Frank got transferred out of town but called and checked to see if Jeannie was "available" yet.
The day he found out she had broken off the engagement, Mr. Frank told her to hand the phone to her father and he asked for her hand in marriage.
They were married shortly thereafter, and feeling the call to full-time ministry they moved away so he could attend Bible College. The Nelms sisters were separated for 30 years before Mr. Frank and his bride returned to Savannah. Leila never left, she just went across the street. She still resides right across the street from the location of their family home.
Though separated, they each continued their mother's tradition of Sunday lunch with their families and friends. When the Paros returned to Savannah, they started rotating the lunches at each other's house. They rise every Sunday morning at 5 a.m. to begin preparations. At 1:30 p.m. everyone has arrived and the feast begins.
The Nelms sisters have a strong family bond they build on every Sunday with other family members. They are afraid that after they are gone the tradition will die as it has in so many families. I hope not. This tradition has lasted for 70-plus years - together and apart. God, family and food, these two beautiful women know what is important. They could teach all of us a few lessons.
I asked for a couple of their families' Sunday favorites - which they gladly shared. Maybe you can make them a part of your Sunday tradition.

Is your family so busy that you barely have time to see each other anymore? I have a book for you…but you've got to slow down long enough to read it.
It's hard to believe, but school is just a few weeks away. And you know what that means—hauling children to and from classes, dance lessons, music lessons, sports practice, homework, church activities, and on and on. It's no wonder that many parents (not to mention their children) get worn out
Busyness is a problem all of us face. In fact, a 2007 study asked over 20,000 teens and adults if "the busyness of life gets in the way of developing [their] relationship with God." The response? Six in 10 Christians said they are too busy for God.
Are you? That's the question which Ann Kroeker poses in her new book, Not So Fast: Slow-Down Solutions for Frenzied Families.
Of all the groups most affected by the busyness epidemic—perhaps the American family has been the worst hit. A self-assumed pressure to make sure the children get every opportunity to give them an edge academically, socially, physically, and even spiritually, pushes us to push them. But somewhere in the process, something is getting buried. And it might just be our souls.
In her new book, Kroeker quotes Pastor John Ortberg as saying, "For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so busy and distracted and rushed that we will settle for a mediocre version of it." It is hurry which, he goes on to say, is the great enemy of the spiritual life.
One of the things I appreciate most about Kroeker's book, Not So Fast, is that she examines the motivations that can get families to this point. These are motivations for safety like: "The best way to keep kids out of trouble is to keep them busy." They are motivations based in competition, like: "An abundance of activities and volunteer work looks good on college applications." And they are motivations based on keeping up an appearance, like: "We feel important and indispensible when we're busy."
The trouble is when we dig down deeper with motivations like these and others, Kroeker points out, we find that many of them are based on fear, envy, pride, insecurity, and a love of the approval of man. And as we squeeze every last drop out of out of our days, our children are getting squeezed in the process.
For the Kroeker family, it took a serious illness for their family to begin to see what a mind- and soul-numbing pace they had been living. That wake up call was what it took for them to slow down.
I like the fact that the book, Not So Fast, doesn't suggest mere cookie-cutter approaches for what families should do to regain balance in their lives. Instead it invites us to examine what's at the root of these choices, and to repent of the motivations when they are based in sin. And then it offers a variety of suggestions for helping families make much more meaningful connections both with each other and God.
As Kroeker says, "For everyone who yearns for the benefits of a slower life, I want to point to Jesus and say, 'Start here. Start with the One who offers true and lasting peace.'"
She's right. Not So Fast is a book Christian families need, if only we'll slow down long enough to read it and heed it.
This commentary first aired on October 7, 2009.

Marine Corps intel does not play well with others
Survey shows uniformed and civilian personnel aren't very happy with their jobs, compared to their counterparts elsewhere.
That's the conclusion of a November 2012 FOUO survey of the Marine Corps intelligence community that came my way.
Roughly 50 percent of the 1,601 military and 206 civilian Marine Corps intel folks who responded to the survey said the service lagged behind the rest of the intelligence community when it comes to collaboration and information sharing. (About 16 percent of military and 76 percent of civilian Marine Corps intelligence community employees participated in the survey)
The Marines also scored low on job satisfaction, with only 49.9 percent satisfied in key areas, such as their involvement in decisions that affect their work and their ability to land a better job in the intelligence organization.
I know I'm going to get complaints about running an item slapped with the For Official Use Only label, but such designations are meaningless once things make their way to the open Internet, as this survey did.
