Plus you can never blame poor map reading again as with GPS, you've got no excuse for not knowing where you are!

Apparently the kiln had held and not begu n the cooling off process...... I had no idea what I would find when I finally, in fear, opened the kiln. I did find very discolored (yellowish brown) pots. WOW...after 3 years of owning my kiln, I thought I was beyond such stupidity. What can I do with these pots? Can they be glazed and fired, or should I discard all and chalk this large kiln full of beautiful (ruined?) ware to a very bad experience. Also, what about my beautiful kiln.....have I possibly damaged it? My kiln is a Paragon with a Sentry 2.0 digital temperature controller. A hobby turned in to a disaster.

Royal Missive regarding SCA lawsuit settlementThursday, February 14th, 2013
Greetings Unto The Grand Populace of An Tir,
Many of you are aware that last year the SCA Inc. was involved in a lawsuit settlement in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that required the corporation to approach the Kingdoms for assistance in funding the settlement. In this difficult time the Laurel Kingdoms stood tall and supported the Society office in keeping our shared dream of the Current Middle Ages alive. Their Majesties at the time, Ieuan and Gwyneth were vocal in Their appreciation at the response from the branches and people of An Tir in responding to the call. We would like to add Our thanks and know that it made Us very proud to see the selfless nature of Our Kingdom.
Following the settlement of the original lawsuit the Society office engaged one of the SCA's insurance companies to recover related legal and settlement costs. We are pleased to announce that the SCA and the insurance company were able to come to a settlement agreement and that the SCA has been able to recover a significant portion of the settlement and legal costs incurred. Please note that details of the settlement are covered by a non-disclosure agreement and as such more specific information on the settlement is not available.
With this result the Society office will be returning approximately 2/3 of the contributions made by the Kingdoms to the lawsuit settlement. As a result the Kingdom will be able to reimburse Our branches in a similar manner. This will be taking place in short order with details of the amounts and specific timing of reimbursements to the branches handled through the An Tir Exchequer's office. Should you have questions regarding this process please communicate via your local branch exchequer.
We would like to personally thank all of you for your support of our Society during this difficult time and you all have Our gratitude for your sacrifice and continued efforts to make An Tir the greatest Kingdom in the Known World.

Herbert Hoover and Aimee Semple McPherson
Hi. I'm a Los Angeles radio historian and I'm writing a paper on whether or not 1920s evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson really sent an angry telegram to Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover (also known as the radio czar at the time), about her radio station, KFSG. The alleged 1920s era telegram reportedly had the quote "tell your minions of satan to leave my radio station alone."
I don't believe this incident ever took place and is another myth from the early years of radio.
I've had a couple of radio history experts see what I've written so far, and they say that my only problem now in 2010, is how can I stamp out a rumor that is about 85 years old and sounds so good? (One friend said that he always believed the Hoover story, but now I almost have him convinced the story is not true.)
I know this is a case of trying to "prove a negative", where all those involved are dead and there are limited records about what might have taken place.
One of my radio history expert friends says that however, I have raised enough doubts to bring Hoover's accuracy into question.
So, I'm wondering if anybody reading this has any ideas or suggestions on how I should proceed with further research to prove that this urban legend is not true?
Thanks for your time and help.

more on alleged 'minions of satan' telegram
I wanted to add that Hoover claimed that Aimee's station, KFSG, wandered off-frequency and that he ordered her radio station to be shut down by the Department of Commerce. There's no record this ever took place. Hoover also claimed that McPherson sent the telegram in response to his order to shut down KFSG. Such a story was never reported in the local or national media at the time. I believe if it happened, it would have been in the news. The alleged 'minions of satan' telegram doesn't make any news until Hoover tells the alleged story in his memoirs. Meanwhile, the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, which Aimee Semple McPherson founded, says that out of their database of 3-million pages of Aimee's sermons, speeches and other talks from 1917 to 1944, she never once spoke the words "minions of satan" or anything close to that phrase. Church archivist Steve Zeleny says he believes it is highly unlikely that she used the phrase only once in her entire recorded lifetime. He says Aimee was kind, popular and loved, and doubts she got that way by calling people "minions of Satan."
At this point, then, I think it might be worthwhile to contact a Hoover scholar or two or someone at the Hoover Library, asking for solid documentation for Hoover's claim. It would be revealing, I think, to see whether you get no further than a reliance on Hoover's reminiscences about dealings with McPherson. A good historian should be willing to consider the issue of lack of primary documentation. (Perhaps you've already gone this route.)
Your dilemma, as I see it, is that this isn't merely an issue of combing through newspapers of the day for reports of the Commerce Department's communications with McPherson over radio frequency; you have to be certain that no folder on the subject is held in some dusty file cabinet in the Department's basement. Towards this end, then, I think a tactful inquiry with a Hoover scholar or some expert on the history of the Commerce Department might elicit a little extra help with the search for a presumed paper trail.
Good luck, Jim. Let us know what you find out.

Minions of Satan doesn't have a very 1920's feel to the phrase.
Whatever Hoover's personal opinions were, he tended to use more legalese and moralist rhetoric rather than satanic overtones.
Somehow my eyes first read the thread title as "Herbert Hoover and Aimee Evilpixee."
I'd be fascinated to know more about any actual interaction between the two. Hoover, prior to his presidency during the start of the Depression, had a very good reputation. He had led U.S. European relief work after WWI. He was a squeaky technocrat in today's parlance.
McPherson was probably the most advanced modern evangelist at the time, using radio, pageantry, and all the glitz available to sell her religion, and herself.
It is thought-provoking, even if it is a legend, a good writer could make a heckuva of a novel out of it.

I don't know if this helps, but it seems as if Aimee's son disavows the story. The article might lead to some clues about source documents, as well.

more on DOC documents, etc, Hoover, Aimee
I have a Department of Commerce KFSG license file that covers 1924-1932 or so from the National Archives. There are two letters written by the DOC's 6th District Radio Inspector, J.F. Dillon, to KFSG and Aimee, 2 weeks after KFSG went on the air. Dillon says his office is daily getting complaints that KFSG is causing interference to KHJ and KFI. But, he does not threaten to take KFSG off the air. He blames the problem on inferior radios at that timer which are not selective enough to filter out strong nearby signals, while tuning for other stations in Los Angeles. That is, the problem, which happened nationwide, was that radios close to the KFSG transmitter were getting KFSG across the radio dial, when they tried tuning for other stations in L.A. Dillon suggested that KFSG cut back from 6 says a week on the air to only 3 days a week. Dillon does not say KFSG was wandering off its assigned frequency.
The Hoover Library archivist told me in 2003 that while the Hoover telegram does not seem to exist, he believes that the incident took place, based on Hoover's detailed history efforts in the past. He says Hoover first made mention of the incident in a radio speech in 1945 on the 20th anniversary of radio, and again in his 1952 memoirs. But, I see nothing on this in the 1920s decade anywhere in radio magazines of the day or newspapers. Same with DOC/FCC license files. This story then appeared in some books on radio history after 1955, but in none of the biographies on ASM, until a book on her life in 2007 by Matthew Sutton, and he used the words "Hoover claimed" that McPherson sent such a telegram.
I'll add a few more comments later.
Jim Hilliker

However, the OP says Hoover was known as the Radio Czar - my impression was that the 'czar' usage came in with either Carter or Reagan. It sounds very un-1920s or 1930s, especially since the Russian monarchy had recently been overthrown and this was generally recognized as a good thing, and the negatives of the Soviet regime had not yet come to light, so referring to the type of person they overthrew would not be seen as a positive. Of course, the usage may have been intended as an accusation of overbearing and possible extralegal exercise of authority, rather than the intended usage over the past few decades of someone who has broad authority to make different agencies respond on the issue.
Bonnie "but does he have anything on 'svenska limpa'?" Taylor
more to add on alleged telegram, KFSG, Hoover, etc.
Hi, it's Jim again. Back in 2003, I first believed the incident to be true. But, after re-reading my letter from Rolf McPherson in 1994 and trying to find any DOC actions against KFSG, I had my doubts about the telegram incident.
As Aimee's son Rolf stated in his letter, "This is one of the many rumors which have persisted through the years. Mother never attempted to defy the law, but always endeavored to comply with the rules. The statements you mention certainly were not typical of her way of doing things. I might explain that the equipment in those days was not always adequate, but the situations were cleared as quickly as they could be.
Radio historian Thomas White has cited several examples across the USA in 1924-'25 where there were 'interference' problems caused by people who lived near one radio station's transmitter, had trouble tuning into other radio stations in the same city, due to bad selectivity in cheaper radios; that is, limited ability to separate a strong signal from the other weaker radio stations on the dial. This has led me to believe that KFSG was never at fault, at all. The problems were eventually solved without KFSG being taken off the air or losing its license.
Author Matthew Sutton also said in an email that this may well be only a fun story that Hoover liked to tell with some exaggeration. In addition, I asked Thomas White if Hoover ever take matters into his own hands when it came to radio stations violating the rules, or did station owners ever ask Hoover to take action personally, instead of going to their local radio inspector?
Mr. White replied, "Some station owners tried to go directly to Hoover, but as
far as I know he always refused to get directly involved,
because 1) the Secretary of Commerce has better things to do
than get involved in local problems -- that's what the local
inspectors and the Bureau of Navigation staff were for, and
2) in any event, he was always nervous about the legal limits
as to how much legal authority he actually had."
Also, in a 1923 hearing on getting new federal radio regulations, Hoover testified that the DOC was getting thousands of protests monthly over questions of interference, but the radio inspectors were always trying to find ways to compromise, such as having stations be on the air less or hsaring time on their frequency with other stations. Hoover also said his department was at the time, "without the necessary authority to effect results." This statement completely contradicts the basis of Hoover's story that the DOC or local radio inspector temporarily shut down KFSG. Meanwhile, on the website for the Hoover Presidential Library, it mentions the telegram story, but says that Aimee 'eloped' with the DOC representative sent out to get her to comply with the rules. This statement is totally false.
Thanks for reporting back,
my article is finished which debunks this legend of early radio
Hi folks. I was the person who started this thread in 2010, and I finished my essay which debunks this urban legend/story/questionable quote from radio's infancy. I completed my article in December 2011, and it is on Jeff Miller's History of American Broadcasting website. If anyone cares to read what I feel is a groundbreaking article on early radio history, please go to this link below.
Thank you.

A fine bit of detective work
>my article is finished which debunks this legend of early radio<
I read both articles, nicely done; especially intriguing going further into it and correcting the errors of your radioheritage.net story. The facts found connect the dots and create the difficult, if not impossible to refute conclusion she did not send such a telegram.
Aimee Semple McPherson has plenty of disparaging stories and rumors swirling about her and if one takes the time to look into them, most of these, like the "minions of Satan" telegram are vapid; nothing no one can really put their finger on. When I read about that telegram in Sutton's book, it was somewhat incongruous with what the author was stating about her elsewhere, ( as well as her other more responsible biographers Daniel Mark Epstein Edith L Blumhofer,) and McPherson went out of her way to avoid being adversarial. If she was not a preacher, would most certainly have been an effective diplomat.
Reverend Robert P Shuler on the other hand was quite adversarial and if I recall correctly, I think he had his station taken off the air for a bit. If so the "minions of Satan" phrase would likely be something he would say in response to that occurring.

"The Worst Person in the World"
Below is an excerpt from the forthcoming book One Way Love: Inexhaustible Grace for an Exhausted World. It comes out October 1. You can pre-order it here.
In 2007, the New York-based website Gawker.com named John Fitzgerald Page "The Worst Person in the World."
John, a young professional in Atlanta at the time, was awarded the dubious title after an exchange he had with a young woman on Match.com, an online dating site, was made public. The young lady in question had made an overture by "winking" at John, admitting in retrospect that she probably should have thought twice "considering his screen name was 'IvyLeagueAlum.'" John responded with a short, introductory message, listing several facts about himself, some relevant, some less so (height, weight, schools attended, fitness regimen). He also asked a couple of pointed questions of his new admirer—where she had gone to school, the kind of products she enjoyed, and what activities she currently participated in to stay in shape. He seemed especially concerned that his would-be date was not misrepresenting herself physically. John had apparently been "deceived before by inaccurate representations"—given the circumstances, an honest concern. More problematic was the self-satisfied tone in which his concern was expressed.
Something about his message must have rubbed its recipient the wrong way, as she replied with a perfunctory "No thanks." Presumably the end of the story. But a spurned John shot back:
I think you forgot how this works. You hit on me, and therefore have to impress ME and pass MY criteria and standards—not vice versa. Six pictures of just your head and your inability to answer a simple question lets me know one thing. You are not in shape. I am a trainer on the side, in fact, I am heading to the gym in 26 minutes! So next time you meet a guy of my caliber, instead of trying to turn it around, just get to the gym! I will even give you one free training session, so you don't blow it with the next 8.9 on Hot or Not, Ivy League grad, Mensa member, can bench/ squat/leg press over 1200 lbs., has had lunch with the secretary of defense, has an MBA from the top school in the country, drives a Beemer convertible, has been in 14 major motion pictures, was in Jezebel's Best dressed, etc. Oh, that is right, there aren't any more of those!
In the face of rejection, poor John defended himself. In fact, he did more than that; he justified himself. He listed his achievements, his attributes and accolades—some of which are, on the surface, impressive. John's problem isn't his résumé; it's what he thinks about his résumé. He used it to justify his existence, leaning on it for righteousness, and therefore, life and love. Yet no one can love a résumé, and not just because we can know a million things about a person and still not know them. No, love that depends on certain standards of performance isn't really love at all. It's more like emotional bartering, a two-way dynamic if ever there was one. It alienates.
We might like to think John is an extreme case, but he's not—at least not as much as we might wish he were. Maybe there is someone in your life who makes you feel insecure; someone whose very existence you find to be threatening—a walking judgment, if you will. Maybe you find yourself dropping names around that person, talking about things you think might impress them. We may not (hopefully) be as brazen or impulsive as John Fitzgerald Page in flaunting our advantages or achievements, but all of us are performancists in some arena, wired for control and proving.
The truth is, narratives of self-justification burble beneath more of our relationships and endeavors than we would care to admit. In fact, the need to justify ourselves drives an enormous amount of daily life, especially the exhausting parts.
The area of personal identity is a place where the rubber of grace meets the road of everyday life in an especially palpable way. If an identity based on "works of the law" looks like John Fitzgerald Page, what might one based on the one way love of God?
For an answer, we need look no further than the apostle Paul, who once wrote a letter not too dissimilar from that of John Fitzgerald Page:
If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. (Phil. 3:4-6)
Paul, it would seem, had plenty to be proud of. His pedigree, his track record, his religious standing were all impeccable. If he had wanted to justify his existence, he would have had a comparably solid basis on which to do so—the first-century Jewish equivalent of blue blood, Ivy League, Fortune 500 status. But unlike John Fitzgerald Page, Paul doesn't end there. Or you might say, that's exactly where he ends:
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith. (Phil. 3:7-9)
The contrast Paul makes here is between a "righteousness of my own that comes from the law" and "the righteousness from God that depends on faith [in Christ]." One is earned, and the other is bestowed, or you might say one is a paycheck while the other is a gift. One is based on our own efforts and attributes; the other is based on God's. One has to do with getting, the other with receiving; one with action, the other with faith. The funny thing is that while the latter is so clearly preferable to the former, we almost always choose the wrong one!
Paul's identity is anchored in Christ's accomplishment, not his own; Christ's strength, not his; Christ's pedigree and track record, not his own; Christ's victory, not Paul's. He knows that who he really is has nothing to do with him at all–rather, it has everything to do with what Jesus had done for him.
Achievements, reputations, strengths, weaknesses, family backgrounds, education, looks, and so on—these things still exist, of course, but only for their own sake. They are divested of the weight they were never meant to bear in the first place, and as such, they can be enjoyed or appreciated without being worshipped. In fact, Paul counts them as loss, which is perhaps a little ironic, since most of the things we tend to define ourselves by are things we're going to lose anyway, if not through aging (beauty, strength, smarts, etc.), then through death (name, wealth, regard).
An identity based in the one-way love of God does not take into account public opinion or, thankfully, even personal opinion. It is a gift from Someone who is not you. As my friend Justin Buzzard wrote recently, "The gospel doesn't just free you from what other people think about you, it frees you from what you think about yourself." In other words, you are not who others see you to be, and you are not who you see yourself to be; you are who God sees you to be—His beloved child, with whom He is well pleased.

Already an hour behind schedule coach Charles Morrow had plenty of time to talk about Monday's 4-1 loss to Tulsa in the second round of the Southern Methodist Classic at Westcott Field.
"We let their pressure get to us," Morrow said. "We weren't as composed as we needed to be on the ball.
"We fought hard and defended pretty well for the majority of the game. But when things are going so bad offensively it is hard to defend as long as we had to do it."
Isaac Pile was originally scouted by the Bisons' coaching staff to be a goalkeeper. That's one of the positions listed for him on the roster. But he also has the skills to play in the field as well.
Pile scored on a header off of a free kick. Angel Chairez was credited with the assist.
"That score was not a good indication of how the game was going," Morrow said. "Tulsa came out strong.
"We were able to defend quite a bit. We had a free kick in the attacking third and we were able to make good on it."
Lipscomb goalkeeper Brent McGee made eight saves, but allowed the four goals.
Tulsa's James Gulley tied the game at 32:53 with a header off of a corner kick.
At 60:06 in the second half Tulsa took the lead on a header from eight yards out by Adrian Klammer.
"When it was 2-1 we had three great opportunities to go 2-2," Morrow said. "We didn't convert on any of them."
Ashley McInnes scored Tulsa's third goal with a shot from 20 yards out at the 82:01 mark.
Corey Albertson put the ball in the goal on a deflection from two yards out at 85:27.
Tulsa had 27 shots, including 12 shots on goal. Lipscomb was credited with six shots. In addition to Pile, Garret Pettis also had one shot on goal for the Bisons.
"The 4-1 score was not indicative of how close the game was," Morrow said. "Tulsa's third score was a bomb from pretty far out. There wasn't a lot Brent could do about it."
The Bisons are 0-2-0. Tulsa is 2-0-0.
Chairez and Ethan Summers were named to the All-Tournament team.
Friday night at 4 the Bisons make the short trip down the boulevard to play Gardner-Webb in the Belmont Invitational. They will face Centenary in the second round Sunday, Sept. 12, at noon.
"This weekend was a good gauge for our guys to see where they are," Morrow said. "These were competitive, high level games.
"We don't like to lose games. We are going to work the rest of the week on what we have learned. This next weekend we will be much better."

Chesterfield Museum and Art Gallery
The museum tells the story of Chesterfield from its origin as a Roman fort to the present day. It is located in the Stephenson Memorial Hall, built in 1879 as a mechanics institute, and named in honour of the town's most famous Victorian resident, railway pioneer George Stephenson. The museum opened in 1994 and is the first public museum in the town - a suprising fact considering Chesterfield's long and important history as a midlands market town and industrial centre. The museum stands in the shadow of the famous 'Crooked Spire' of St Mary and All Saints and is a short walk from Chesterfield's excellent open market, one of the largest in the country.
Venue Type:
except Tue, Wed & Sun
Closed: Tue, Wed & Sun
The museum's most important exhibit is a medieval builders' windlass used for the construction of Chesterfield Parish Church ('The Crooked Spire') in the 14th century. It is an impressive sight standing around 20ft high and dominating the entrance to the galleries.
The museum holds finds from a series of excavations in the town centre, mainly associated with the area of the Roman fort and the core of the medieval period town. However the majority of the collections relate to the social and industrial history of Chesterfield and the surrounding area of north eastern Derbyshire.
These recall the past industrial activities of the town, including coal-mining and engineering, and the museum has an extensive collection of locally made stoneware pottery (often known as 'Bramptonware' after one of the areas in which it was made). Recently acquired is the Robinson Collection of packaging and healthcare products made by Chesterfield based Robinson & Sons Ltd, who are perhaps most famous for designing and making the original 'Smartie Tube' and for being the first manufacturers of the disposable nappy.
There is a small collection of material relating to George Stephenson and his family, including a group portrait by John Lucas RA.
Local artist Joseph Syddall's (1864-1942) work is usually on display in the art gallery. He was a professional portraitist and illustrator, who was declared by his teacher, Sir Hubert von Herkomer, to be the 'finest draughtsman in England'.

Until said captioned efforts do go rewarded, we'll make our own summer trophies. Get your voter registration cards ready, sports fans.
Today launches the inaugural Summer Awards Ball here at Buffalo Sabres Nation – and you're all invited. So, get into your "Tux and Pucks'" best and prepare to think hard: it'll be up to all of you to decide who gets these things.
Winners will receive a beautifully preserved sample of Sabres' Blue and Red cotton candy (now retired)! That's right – the old colors, before Terry Pegula and Ted Black opened up the "Sabres Suggestion Box" and made so many millions of improvements to the overall Sabres experience that they actually changed the color of the cotton candy from blue and red to blue and yellow.
Gotta' love those guys.
Without further ado, our first award up for your egregious contemplation and debate is "The Sully." This award goes to the member/player in the Sabres organization most enthusiastically loathed by a certain member of the Buffalo News (who just may just bear a name somewhat similar to the actual namesake of this award – the other destroyer in Buffalo – which is docked at the waterfront). I know, right? It's just a total coincidence.
Here are your nominees for this year's Sully (in no particular order):
- Tim Connolly. Connolly may have never have lived up to his contract extension, but there are no worries as to if he ever knew about it.
- Terry Pegula. It didn't take long for Pegula to get raked over the coals in this one newspaper town – during an on air rant at WGR55, our certain news writer spoke so vehemently about the new ownership's decisions that Schopp and the Bulldog were actually rendered speechless for ten seconds. (Click on the 2/28 "Part 1" feed – the 12:13 mark starts off the tirade that leads to the dead silence at 13:02.)
- Ryan Miller. Nothing like cornering an angry netminder in the locker room after a tough night – after he walks away from you. Nope, there is no escape from the wrath of the "Sabres' Critic," not even for the team's all-world goaltender. Heck, there's always time for name-calling and f-bomb dropping, even if it takes place in front of a bunch of little kids touring the facilities – it's about staying objective, folks!
Those are your Sullied Heroes, up for your vote. Think, debate, comment, and click!
[poll id="4″]
Thanks for participating!
Go Sabres.

10 Reasons Serial Cheater Jesse James Is a Great Catch
Kat Von D claims ex-fiancé Jesse James cheated on her with 19 women. James, of course, cemented his reputation as a cad after details of his serial philandering while married to ex-wife Sandra Bullock came out. While the entire world knows James will stray like a lost cat, we think the 'Monster Garage' host is an ideal match for any single woman looking for Mr. Right. Here's why:
1. As his main squeeze, you can figure out if he has more tattoos or mistresses.
2. You know going in he's not the nicest guy, so there are no surprises. His name is Jesse James, not George Washington.
3. We're pretty sure you can make a relationship with James last longer than you can with Kim Kardashian.
4. James cheated on Von D with 19 women. He's clearly losing his touch. It's just a matter of time before he's down to only a dozen.
5. You'll never have a problem getting a table at a restaurant when you tell the maître d you're with the guy who finished in third place on 'The Celebrity Apprentice.'
6. You know how married couples settle into a boring routine? That won't be a problem with James. Everyday will be an adventure where you're wondering if he was telling the truth when he said he just had to run out for some milk.
7. If women like the challenge of changing a man, then getting into a long-term relationship with James would be the "splitting the atom" of the battle of the sexes.
8. If you're looking for women to start a book club, he has a nice rolodex of names to get you started.
9. He's more than willing to fill in for you at the local PTA meeting. There are plenty of women at those gatherings.
10. James won't cheat on you, mostly because there are no women left to cheat with.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanessa Medina had put an important decision on the back burner, but the time finally came when she could no longer delay her decision.
Brent High, associate athletic director for spiritual formation, spoke to Fellowship of Christian Athletes members during their weekly meeting in the Hall of Fame room at Allen Arena. He compared the "Pledge of Allegiance" to the flag of the United States to pledging allegiance to God and Jesus Christ through the act of baptism.
"I wanted to take the pledge," Medina said. "I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I wanted to take the step right then. I could not have walked out of there without doing it and been O.K. with myself."
Medina liked the academic reputation of Lipscomb. She also appreciated the fact that it was a small school with a small student-teacher ratio. But she had not attended church regularly since the fourth grade. The spiritual life Lipscomb could offer was not high on her checklist.
"We prayed at home regularly," Medina said. "It was always there in our house."
Medina had been thinking about baptism for at least a year. She wanted her family in California to be present. However she knew at the FCA meeting that she could not walk out of the room without committing her life to Christ.
"I had devoted my life to God a long time ago. It was something between God and me. But it wasn't an outward pledge. Now I have made the outward pledge."
Medina, a redshirt junior on the Lipscomb softball team, was joined by two of her teammates in making a commitment to be baptized. After the meeting redshirt freshman Ashley Anderson and sophomore Kristen Sturdivant also decided to make the biggest decision of their lives.
All three were baptized by High the first week of December at Woodmont Hills Church of Christ.
Anderson admitted that the Bible had been confusing to her, but that the message she heard at the FCA meeting simplified the process for her.
"I thought it was all about rules," Anderson said. "But Brent pretty much got straight to the point. He said it was about loving God and loving others.
"God makes this available for everybody. When Brent made it as a simple as that, it was kind of easy to make the decision."
Anderson grew up going to church, but was not overly involved in the services and activities. She knew about the Bible, but did not have a depth of knowledge of the book.
When she was choosing which college to attend the spiritual aspects of Lipscomb were not a major influence on her decision.
"I did, and I didn't, think about the spiritual part of it," Anderson said. "It wasn't the first thing on my mind. I was deciding between Lipscomb and another school. But everything was perfect when I came here."
Anderson was also influenced by teammates Mollie Mitchell and Whitney Kiihnl who conduct weekly devotionals. Ashley has also been influenced by her younger sister, Ana, who went through a reaffirmation baptism earlier this year.
"It has been really good to have Ana and players on the team to help hold me accountable," Anderson said. "Kristen and I talked last year about learning more. We had talked about it a lot and it just kind of happened."
Sturdivant, like Anderson, did not grow up attending church on a regular basis. Her mother had a Church of Christ background while her father was a Methodist. Her brother, Austin, who was baptized three years ago, attends a Baptist church. To top it all off Sturdivant attended a Catholic high school.
"I was gone every weekend during the summer playing competitive softball," Sturdivant said. "It was hard to be consistent going to church."
Sturdivant was no stranger to Bible classes due to her high school training. Her grandmother had also taken her to the Church of Christ.
"I was excited to get back into Bible classes when I came here," Sturdivant said. "I think chapel is interesting. I love going to the Tuesday chapels in the arena because the whole school comes together.
"I knew Lipscomb was a Church of Christ school. The first week I was here I realized God had a plan for me. Like Ashley, I was also looking at another school, but it didn't work out. God sent me here for a reason."

Lawnmower, 'Team Spirit' – Free MP3 Download
Michigan-based Lawnmower started as singer-songwriter and guitarist Travis Bravender's solo project back in 2010, when he released 'Franchise Wings,' his first LP under the alias. The project has since expanded into a trio, and this past April saw the release of the EP 'Whack Yer Brain,' which the band is calling its proper debut. No matter where you land on the group's timeline, however, their sound consistently reflects a great admiration of '90s lo-fi indie and pop-punk.
The band pokes fun at its sound, calling the EP "four songs about life, love and testicular cancer at Degrassi High." We think there's a little more to it than that, though, which is apparent on 'Team Spirit,' the opening track and today's free MP3 download. It's a fuzzy and frenzied tune, but it clearly demonstrates that Lawnmower know exactly what they're doing.
"It's a song about being hyper-aware of the image you project to other people, and maybe second-guessing some of those decisions," Bravender told Diffuser.fm.

Kat Dahlia Performs Acoustic Version of 'Gangsta'
It's hard to imagine anything hood about an acoustic guitar, but Kat Dahlia delivered with a recent pared down performance of her debut single, 'Gangsta.'
The pretty Miami-based singer and rapper resembles Demi Lovato a bit, but her voice is really distinct. "There's no other way to stand out than just being yourself," she said. "I write my own music. People say my voice is very unique and I do this rappy thing that's kind of different, but if you really want to break it down, I'm just being myself."

When Oprah Winfrey has declared you "more than a politician," when you've had dinner with Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg and received 300 speaking invitations a week, things are going well for you as a freshman Senator. So you might forgive Barack Obama for being cautious in his first year on Capitol Hill. Why should he risk blemishing an almost perfect public persona that could help him win the presidency one day? But last month Obama finally found his cause: he wanted to lead Democrats in the push for lobbying and ethics reform. The issue seemed perfect for him. It's high profile...

Obsessions with the Sino-Japanese Polarity in Japanese Literature
University of Hawaii Press, 2006 - Literary Criticism - 269 pages
Using close readings of a range of premodern and modern texts, Atsuko Sakaki focuses on the ways in which Japanese writers and readers revised - or in many cases devised - rhetoric to convey Chineseness and how this practice contributed to shaping a national Japanese identity. The volume begins by examining how Japanese travelers in China, and Chinese travelers in Japan, are portrayed in early literary works. An increasing awareness of the diversity of Chinese culture forms a premise for the next chapter, which looks at Japan's objectification of the Chinese and their works of art from the eighteenth century onward. Chapter 3 examines gender as a factor in the formation and transformation of the Sino-Japanese dyad. Sakaki then continues with an investigation of early modern and modern Japanese representations of intellectuals who were marginalized for their insistence on the value of the classical Chinese canon and literary Chinese. The work concludes with an overview of writing in Chinese by early Meiji writers and the presence of Chinese in the work of modern writer Nakamura Shin'ichiro. Tanizaki Jun'ichiro.

text: On the heels of Tracie's collection of castration scenes comes this Onion A.V. Club post on 22 films about vengeful women. There's some overlap between the castration movies and the lady revenge flicks (I Spit On Your Grave), but the A.V. Club's list also includes many modern classics like Kill Bill and Carrie. Their number one female vindication flick of all time? Fatal Attraction. "In an era of rapidly increasing sexual freedom (and rapidly lowering social stigma for women who chose not to remain blushing virgins until the wedding day)," the A.V. Club notes, "Fatal Attraction sounded a shrill warning bell: That casual affair may cost you your family, social position, peace of mind, and pet bunny." [AV Club]

Prior to the invention of photography in the mid-19th century, the silhouette was considered an effective and inexpensive way to record a person's likeness or capture a scene. Although the practice can be traced back to the early 17th century, the term 'silhouette' derives from the harsh policies of the French finance minister Étienne de Silhouette.
The silhouette reduces an object to its most basic form. Its historical uses in art can be seen in the paper cuts of Hans Christian Andersen and the artwork of Kara Walker. In photographic terms, the silhouette is created in situations where the subject is backlit. It can be used to hide a person's identity or play up their distinctive features, and its graphic form is often used artistically to photograph sport and dance. It heightens drama, adds atmosphere and makes a banal scene into a graphic wonder.
More than 200 years ago, the silhouette was the foremost way to document one's appearance, but it's still widely used in photographic frames today. From capturing the Costa Concordia to presidential primaries and pilgrims, LightBox looks at the use of silhouettes on the wires this month.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- A new application for mobile devices designed to enhance financial literacy for Sailors is available today and helps provide the latest info on the Blended Retirement System (BRS) that goes into effect in 2018.
The app is designed to provide Sailors with anytime, anywhere access to both training and resources that will help them make informed decisions about their financial future, which is especially critical as the military gets ready to begin BRS Jan. 1, 2018.

Are you in a violent relationship? Are you scared of your significant other? Or is your significant other perhaps scared of you?
If so, VA has a program called Strength at Home that may be able to help you.
"Veterans appear to be experiencing higher rates of physical or verbal abuse in their relationships," said James Haskell, a social worker and group therapist with the Baltimore VA's Strength at Home Program. "The military trains you to react quickly to a threatening situation when you're in combat. But in a relationship, reacting quickly isn't always the best option."

MCMURDO STATION, Antarctica (NNS) -- After four long days of travel, Sailors from Navy Cargo Handling Battalion (NCHB) 1 arrived safely at the National Science Foundation's McMurdo Station in Antarctica, where they will be participating in Operation Deep Freeze 2017.
The annual mission, which NCHB 1 has been participating in for more than 50 years, resupplies the U.S. Antarctic Program's largest base on the most remote continent. NSF manages the Antarctic Program.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Today, the Navy released NAVADMIN 004/17 that now allows first-term Sailors on sea duty the ability to elect to extend their expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) to complete their sea duty assignment, known as prescribed sea tour (PST).
Here are five things you need to know:
1. Why this is important to the Navy. First-term Sailors make up approximately 60 percent of the Fleet and about half that percentage separate at the end of their first enlistment. This initiative allows first-term Sailors to match their projected rotation date (PRD) with their EAOS and helps alleviate unnecessary gaps at sea. This is designed to help reduce gaps at sea and support Fleet Manning that will be created as the large FY13 enlisted cohort begins to leave sea duty.
For the upcoming Super Bowl, The Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO) is offering the opportunity to share short, recorded shout-outs (15-20 seconds) with a Navy key message from Sailors to support their favorite team. Call 1-855-OUR-NAVY (1-855-687-6289). Wait for 3-5 second pause after voice directions and record message. Once you hang-up, the audio file will automatically be sent to NAVCO. Speak clearly.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2017 — The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors sponsored 200 surviving military family members from across the country who marched in today's inaugural parade to honor their departed loved ones as well as all the nation's fallen service members.
The parade commenced after President-elect Donald J. Trump took the oath of office as the 45th president of the United States.
WASHINGTON - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced today that it is amending its regulation regarding fertility counseling and treatment available to eligible Veterans and spouses. VA currently provides certain infertility services other than in vitro fertilization (IVF) services to Veterans as part of the medical benefits package. This interim final rule authorizes IVF for a Veteran with a service-connected disability that results in the inability of the Veteran to procreate without the use of fertility treatment. It also states that VA may provide fertility counseling and treatment using assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including IVF, to a spouse of a Veteran with a service-connected disability that results in the inability of the Veteran to procreate without the use of fertility treatment.

WASHINGTON -- In today's digital age, when most individuals communicate regularly with family and friends over social media platforms, one should always be aware that online predators and scammers are lurking on those same platforms, actively stalking their next unsuspecting victims.
Now that the holidays are over and Valentine's Day is fast approaching, Special Agents with the Army Criminal Investigation Command, also known as CID, are anticipating a different type of holiday frenzy -- an increase in "romance scam" reports.
January 18, 2017
Over the recent holiday season, the old adage "caring is sharing" often comes to mind. Sharing gifts. Sharing time with family and friends. Sharing food (perhaps a cookie or two). These are all wonderful ways to show others that we care about them, and excellent skills to be teaching our children.
But caring is more than sharing, and is fundamentally important to helping raise our children to be empathetic, responsible, successful, and ultimately happy young people and adults. From improved social relationships to success in the workplace, when we are concerned for others and care, we all benefit.

My father was away on a business trip; I was 5 years old at the time. My mother had just tucked me in and gave me a hug wishing me a good night.
After my mother left the room, I remember something feeling different. My father usually comes in with my mom to say goodnight, tonight he was away. As I lay in bed, I kept thinking about my Dad and how I wished he were home with mommy and I. I wondered what he was doing? If he was also thinking about me?

During Strong Bonds events, participants engage in a variety of hands-on activities, ranging from team-building exercises to group discussions -- facilitated mostly by military chaplains -- all with a focus designed to open communication lines, prevent toxic relationships and enhance established relationships.

More asparagus, this time with pinenuts, lime and browned butter
Asparagus with pinenuts, lime and browned butter
(Sparglid laimi ja seedermänniseemnetega)
Serves 2
Lovely, perk asparagus spears :)
300 grams young fresh green asparagus
2 Tbsp pine nuts
2 Tbsp butter
half a lime
sea salt
Toast the pinenuts on a hot non-stick pan, until they're all nutty-smelling and slightly golden. Take care not to burn! Put aside.
Melt the butter on a small frying pan on a moderate heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the butter has browned slightly.
Snap off the hardened lower bits of the asparagus. Place in a pot of salted boiling water and simmer for approximately two minutes (test for doneness with a small knife). Drain thoroughly and place on a plate.
Squeeze the lime juice over asparagus, pour over the melted butter and scatter toasted pine nuts on top.

Lydia - hope you'll like this combination!
K&S - thank you!

Jeanne - you must hurry up, as you're coming to the end of the season now, no?
Alanna - we had a photo shoot contest at home that night, and my photo won this time. Usually it's the other way around:)
Johanna - I should try the pumpkin nut version.
Freya & Paul - yep, simple & delicious.
Katiez - hope you had plenty of asparagus while the season lasted in your part of the world. I've never had a G&T, so no limes needed for that in my house (hence no limes ever hanging around just in case). I actually have to buy them for any cooking!!
Neil - I like the picture, too (and I took this particular one, not K:)
Valentina - I'll keep you posted about the market:)

Horchata is a very popular type of drink called agua fresca that is enjoyed throughout Mexico. There are many variations; some use chufa or tiger nuts, sesame seeds, barley, or even cantaloupe seeds. Horchata complements the spiciness of Mexican food and refreshes during hot weather. Make a batch to go with your Mexican-inspired menu to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Hispanic Heritage Month, or any day of the year. This recipe contains no dairy, so it won't spoil if it sits out for a little while -- perfect for picnics!
What You Need:
- 1 cup long grain rice (raw)
- 4 cups water
- ¼ cup sugar, or more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
What You Do:
- In a blender, add the rice and water.
- Cover and blend until the rice is fine.
- Pour the mixture into a container and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- The particles of rice will have settled to the bottom of the container. Simply pour the liquid back into the blender, using a fine sieve to catch any pieces of rice that may fall in. Discard the rice.
- To the blender, add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
- Cover and blend until all the ingredients are combined.
- Serve over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired.
This recipe is very flexible. You can use sweetened condensed or evaporated milk, grind a cinnamon stick in the blender in lieu of using ground cinnamon, and garnish it with lime zest. Have fun experimenting to see which way you like it best!
Alternate Recipe: To the recipe above, add 1 cup of blanched, sliced almonds and 2 cups of milk to step 5, and you will have a thicker, richer and nutty tasting beverage that's so delicious! The nice thing about this version is that the milk will cool off tongues from spicy foods and it tastes like dessert in a glass.

The call for Guard assistance came early Saturday morning and coordination began immediately after more than 38,000 customers suffered power losses throughout the storm. it was also reported that up to 3,800 power poles snapped under the weight of the snow and ice that encased the lines.
Even though no travel was advised, several Soldiers trekked on foot several miles to reach the Guard headquarters on Camp Rapid in Rapid City to set up operations.
