Introduction: How to Make a Gingerbread Tardis (with Doctor)
Travel through time and relative dimension in space deliciously!
This is a fun project that doesn't require a lot of baking experience. It's easier than a Tardis cake, for example, and it keeps longer. It does require a a good bit of working space, but no exotic ingredients. Everything except the gumdrop on top of the Tardis was already in my kitchen.

Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
lots of countertop or table space
paper stencils-- you'll print these out in the next step
metal cookie sheets—try to get ones that won't warp in the oven
parchment paper
countertop mixer with dough attachment and whisk attachment
rubber/silicone spatulas
frosting bags and tips, or ziplock bags
candy thermometer (optional)
masking tape (optional)
paring knife
frosting knife or table knife
large cereal box or other light cardboard
measuring cups and spoons
rolling pin
large metal mixing bowl, other bowls
plastic wrap
cooling racks
hot mitts
large shallow pan
1 blue gumdrop or jellybean
heavy items to prop up drying pieces (e.g. canned food or books)
Check recipes if you're not sure you have enough of these items:
pasturized egg whites (optional)
powdered sugar
gel food colors
light brown sugar
unsulfured dark molasses
nonstick spray or oil
all purpose flour
baking powder
ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves
vegetable shortening (Crisco)
Step 2: Make Your Stencils
Print out the templates found in this pdf. For reference, the front elevation and plan view have been included.Trace the paper templates onto light cardboard and cut them out.I used a large cereal box. Remember to label the cardboard pieces so you don't confuse them.
Step 3: Make the Gingerbread Dough
This recipe worked well for me, but feel free to use your own if you prefer.
¾ cup unsalted butter
1 ½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 cup unsulfured dark molasses
nonstick spray or oil
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
dry ingredients:
5 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
4 teaspoons ground ginger
3 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Stir together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.Cream the butter in a countertop mixer with a dough attachment. (You can do this recipe by hand, but only if you've got plenty of upper body strength.A handheld mixer will not be strong enough.)Beat in the brown sugar and eggs.Coat the inside of a measuring cup with nonstick spray or a little oil, then measure out the molasses and add it to the mixing bowl.The oil prevents the molasses from sticking excessively to the measuring cup.Add the water to the mixing bowl and beat.Gradually beat in the dry ingredients, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides.The dough should be very stiff, almost like Play-doh.If it is still too soft and sticky, add another half cup of flour.Divide the gingerbread dough into 3 flattish patties, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour (up to two days).
Step 4: Make the Gingerbread Pieces
Unstick the pieces by sliding the paring knife underneath them.Use a spatula to transfer the pieces to the cookie sheets with a minimum of distortion.It is a good idea to segregate small pieces on different cookie sheets than large ones, because of the difference in baking times.Once the pieces are on the cookie sheets, lay the templates back on top of them to check that they are still the right shape and size.Use any remaining dough to make anything you like—gingerbread Daleks, K-9, or whatever.
Place cookie sheets in preheated oven.Do not overload the oven with more than 2 cookie sheets, because this will cause uneven heating.Watch the pieces through the oven door. Cooking time varies widely from the small pieces to the large ones.Small pieces are done in as little as 6 minutes, while large pieces could take 20 minutes or more.Pieces are done when their edges and corners start to darken.Don't overcook—you can always put an undercooked piece back in if you have to.
With the pieces still on the warm cookie sheets, place the templates back on top of them one last time.Trim the warm gingerbread as needed—once it cools, it will be too brittle.Once the pieces are solid enough, transfer them to a rack to finish cooling.
Step 5: Make the "Glue" Icing
4 egg whites (Use 8 tablespoons of pasturized egg white product if you're worried about salmonella)
5 1/3 cups powdered sugar
gel food colors
Note: There is a small, but measurable, risk inherent in using raw egg whites if you plan to eat your Tardis.This risk is greater for young children, pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, and the elderly. Even clean, unbroken eggs can be contaminated inside. If you're worried, you can buy pasturized egg whites in a carton, though these may not foam as well.
Fill the large, shallow pan with 1-3 inches of water and put it on the stovetop on medium heat.Clean the metal mixing bowl so that there is no grease, oil, or fat inside.Put the egg whites in the metal mixing bowl, and put it in the pan of water as a double boiler.Whisk the egg whites constantly for several minutes until they are warm to the touch (if you're using a candy thermometer, 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit, no more).Remove the bowl from the heat, put it immediately into the mixer with the whisk attachment.Starting out slow, build up to high speed.Beat until whites form stiff peaks (when you pull the beaters out, the whites form sharp, somewhat droopy points like a Tim Burton landscape).Gradually beat in the sugar.
Reserve about a quarter of the icing in a sealed container.Dye the rest dark blue with the gel coloring and put it in an icing bag with a piping tip, or in a ziplock bag with the corner cut off.Once this frosting dries, it is like plaster, but it is soluble in warm water.
Step 6: Assemble Your Tardis
Assemble your Tardis in a place where you can leave the pieces without fear that they will be disturbed by unauthorized personnel or pets.As I was making this project, the gingerbread Doctor had to regenerate twice, having twice suffered a horrible fate at the jaws of ravenous dogs.(On the plus side, eating gingerbread seems to improve a dog's breath.)
Gather some heavy items—like cookbooks or canned goods-- to prop up pieces while they set.You can also use masking tape to help hold pieces until they set.Look carefully at the plan view diagram to see how to join the pieces, or the Tardis won't be square.If you've broken any pieces, glue them back together with icing.
Assembly order:
1. back+1 side, roof pieces to each other
2. other side
3. base
4. roof
5. front left
6. top right
7. front right door (I left it slightly open)
8. frame edges
9. signs
Glue the back to one of the sides first using the blue icing.Pipe a line along the edge and another line inside the angle of the join, like caulk.Don't worry too much if icing shows on the outside; that's why we dyed it blue.Prop the pieces up and leave them to set for at least an hour.While you're waiting, you can start on assembling the roof and decorating the Doctor.I used masking tape and a pop bottle lid to hold the roof pieces at an angle while they set.
Once the back and first side have set, add the second side and leave it to set again.These first few pieces will need the longest setting time.After these, the Tardis will have a little more stability and you can get away with working faster.If something is misplaced, it's better to find out before the glue has set all the way (3 hours, give or take).
Next, glue the back and sides onto the base and glue the roof on.Stick the front left panel in place, making sure that there is space for the last pieces to fit in.Stick on the upper right panel, over the door opening.Put the door in at the angle you choose.Stick the upright frame edges in place (consult the plan diagram) and stick the top frame edges in place like lintels.Allow to set and stick the signs on.
Step 7: Decorate Your Doctor
Divide the reserved glue icing into small bowls for different colors, as many as you want for the doctor and his outfit.Remember to leave some white for decorating the Tardis if you haven't done that yet. Keep any icing you're not using sealed so it doesn't dry out.
Use the gel colors to tint the icing. With gel coloring, a tiny bit goes a long way.Mix to get the colors you want; for example, combine red and green to get brown.Ice the Doctor.For the eleventh Doctor, you'll need brown for his coat shoes and hair, peach for his skin, red for the fez and his shirt stripes, white for his shirt, a tiny bit of purple for a bow tie, and a smidge of pink for his mouth.You already have blue for his pants.I also iced a little piece of toothpick to make a sonic screwdriver for him to hold.The tip of a toothpick is useful for icing the details on the Doctor, too.
Step 8: Turn Your Tardis Blue
You may choose to leave your Tardis a traditional gingerbread brown.If you want a blue Tardis, however, you will need to frost it because the molasses makes the gingerbread dough itself too dark to dye.This recipe is the kind of frosting you'd get on a supermarket cake, chosen for spreadability, color, and shelf life, so don't expect it to taste as good as a buttercream. I chose to use frosting instead of the plasticky-smooth rolled fondant that is de rigueur for cakes these days, because the Tardis is wooden and slightly battered.
Blue frosting for outside of Tardis:
1/3 cup vegetable shortening (Crisco)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups powdered sugar (more or less)
2 tablespoons milk (more or less)
Cream the shortening and beat in the salt.Beat in the milk and gradually add the sugar.If the consistency isn't how you like it for spreading, add more sugar or milk as necessary.Color with gel coloring.This frosting tends to darken slightly on the surface as it dries.
Make sure the Tardis has securely set. To be safe, I let mine dry overnight before I frosted it. Frost the Tardis with a knife. If you are more of a perfectionist than I am, you can smooth it with a scrap of parchment paper as the frosting sets.
Step 9: Add Decorative Details to the Tardis
Pipe the windows on with white glue icing.I did this freehand, but if you are feeling very precise you can make the windows as squares on parchment paper and stick them onto the Tardis once they dry.Draw the square inset panels onto the Tardis freehand with the dark blue glue icing.Divide the window panes and write on the front sign with the dark blue icing, too.Spread dark blue as the background of the "Police Box" signs.Write "Police Box" on the signs in white.Glue the gumdrop on top.
Step 10: Enjoy!
Have fun explaining to your family members what a Tardis is. "No, Gramma, it only looks like a phone booth."

Is it bigger on the inside? :)
fez's are cool.
Awesome, love the fez!
Awesome! I love "Make up to 13" Very nice!
I especially like step 10. Great work! It's super adorable. :D
Step 10 hit home with me - I remember having to explain the 1-TARDIS vanity plates on my car to my family. The car is long gone, but the plates now grace a closet door in our house.

Ay Carumba! I mean... Oh dearie me!
Is this the great Clinton Campaign Counterpunch?
Melania Trump was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the United States worth $20,056 that occurred in the seven weeks before she had legal permission to work in the country, according to detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago provided to The Associated Press.I don't want to copy the whole article here, you can read the rest of it at the link. It's pretty much TLDR, with lots of penny-ante details. In the National Post today, this was headlined "Melania Trump No Model Citizen".
The details of Mrs. Trump's early paid modeling work in the U.S. emerged in the final days of a bitter presidential campaign in which her husband, Donald Trump, has taken a hard line on immigration laws and those who violate them. Trump has proposed broader use of the government's E-verify system allowing employers to check whether job applicants are authorized to work. He has noted that federal law prohibits illegally paying immigrants.
Mrs. Trump, who received a green card in March 2001 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, has always maintained that she arrived in the country legally and never violated the terms of her immigration status. During the presidential campaign, she has cited her story to defend her husband's hard line on immigration.
The wife of the GOP presidential nominee, who sometimes worked as a model under just her first name, has said through an attorney that she first came to the U.S. from Slovenia on Aug. 27, 1996, on a B1/B2 visitor visa and then obtained an H-1B work visa on Oct. 18, 1996.
I'm not going to bother comparing the weight of the scandals being bruited about on the different sides. On the one side, Weinergate, 5 different countries hacking into Hillary Clinton's State Department emails, freaky sex and satanism, and on the other... late paperwork. You do the math.
But what I will mention is how this sort of story no longer works in the post-Alinsky era, which is where we are now. The first thing I thought when I saw the headline was "Who is this story for?" The tipoff is in the words "model citizen". Who is touting Melania Trump as a model citizen? Why, the Right, of course - the people who like her and are going to vote for her husband. In other words, the enemy. So this is a classic Alinsky attempt to "make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." It's saying, in effect, "You are against illegal immigration! She broke immigration rules! Now you have to turn against Trump and his wife because they broke the rules you say you support!"
Four years ago, this would have worked. It doesn't anymore. Now instead of letting the Left give the virtue assignment, we make the rules. And the answer to this little manoeuvre is "Oh, you mean she's just the same as those industrious Mexicans you're so concerned about? You'd better hurry and bring her "out of the shadows"! Quick, grant her citizenship? Oh, she's already a citizen. Well, maybe you can give her double citizenship."
Who knew it could be so easy to defang the Left? We should have done this years ago.

Topic: The Reader (04/15/10)
TITLE: Bumps
By Patricia Turner
His mother picked up the book she'd been reading to her six year-old son and placed it back on its shelf.
"I want to read it myself!"
"I understand, Stevie." Her heart ached for him. There were so many things her son could do, and do well, but he was deeply passionate about being able to read.
Fifteen year-old Louis bent over in concentration, focusing the work of his fingers. The tool was familiar: his father used it for years in his harness making profession. Now Louis was applying it to a different purpose.
"The code has to be quick to read", he thought. The dot and dash code of the French military had failed for his needs in part because the patterns took too much space on the page and the phonetic style made it cumbersome to use.
"I couldn't imagine he'd ever pick up that tool again", mused his mother, watching.
"Doesn't he realize it's the same tool that took his sight in the first place?" His father shook his head.
She remembered that day - oh how she remembered it. The blood pouring from his eye, his screams. Then the few days that went by when he seemed all right, before the infection took the sight of her three year-old son in both eyes.
"Certainly he does, Simon. It doesn't seem to matter. He's obsessed with being able to read."
"Mother, I just don't know what to do. Stevie is becoming increasingly unhappy with this one thing that he just can't do."
Her mother, a retired school teacher, thought for a moment.
"Anne, I know he's at the age where other children are beginning to read. If Stevie could learn to read in another, different way, I believe he would make the effort and do so."
Though God allowed the one thing to be taken away, he'd gifted the boy in other ways.
"After all, look at how he's taken to the guitar already."
"Yes Mother, but is there another way?"
As Louis grew, his brilliant, creative mind was restless, yearning for the ideas, the stories, the worlds locked away in books that he couldn't read. He became impassioned with finding a way to enable himself and other blind persons to read as quickly as a sighted person.
At the age of ten he went away to a school in Paris for the blind.
"The books are so incredibly heavy", he wrote to his family. "And there aren't many of them. The letters are raised and are so large that it takes too much time to feel each one all the way to the end of the sentence. Sometimes I can't remember what the sentence was even about by the time I get to the end."
"Louis", one of his teachers approached him one day. "Louis, I've just heard: the French military is using a code of raised dashes and dots to transmit messages to the troops at night so that they don't have to use any illumination to read them."
"A series of dashes and dots...that could work!" Louis' teacher helped him obtain a copy of some of the code.
He worked with the military code for several weeks in growing frustration. "They're just too cumbersome! There has to be a more workable way."
One afternoon while he was home on vacation, Louis made his way to his father's workshop. Feeling among the leather working tools, his hand fell upon the blunt pointed awl. He hesitated for only a moment.
Taking in hand the tool that had taken his sight, Louis began to devise different patterns of bumps. Six tiny bumps arranged in double columns of three, some raised with others remaining concave: he worked out a pattern for the twenty six letters of the alphabet.
Young Louis worked tirelessly, his mind engaged in his task. His parents watched, amazed and overjoyed as their son used the tiny patterns of bumps to create a sentence, which he then quickly read back using touch.
"Anne, surely you've heard of the Braille tactile alphabet? It was created years ago by a young man named Louis Braille."
"It works!" exclaimed the delighted boy. Turning toward his mother he shouted: "It works! I'm reading!"

Perhaps it is harder in the Winter to be single/alone/without a lover or tribe of friends? Yes I am stating the obvious but REMEMBER ~ nature would have us tucked in, warm, and resting. Nature would have us preparing to rejuvenated for the new Spring of life that is coming.
And Maybe even worse this cycle gets interrupted when there is big loss and mourning. Maybe we move into Winter mentally during the Spring because that is when the big loss happened. Then when Winter comes it feels like an extra long winter. So we find ourselves alone and reflecting for far too long and we crave that new season but it is not time. And we are resting and hibernating Alone….maybe not lonely but it can be a long Winter alone. Life does feel complicated when your dreams and visions get swept out from under your feet. Even if you are the one that swept your life out from under your own feet. It gets complicated and exhausting.
But maybe…just maybe it is so much harder in the Winter? And maybe this hard winter will be the hardest Winter of your life. And perhaps this new Spring coming will be the beginning of a life you never would have dreamed. Have HOPE my friends. I do…
~ always with love

Hello. I moved my bitcoin from Coinbase to a btc.com wallet at 12:01 August 1st. I heard that btc.com would provide a recovery tool for the bitcoin cash within their wallet. I have been issued a btc.com cash wallet, but it shows a balance of zero. My bitcoin wallet shows my funds, and my Bitcoin cash should have the same amount from what I hear, but it doesn't. I emailed btc.com and got back a reply which seems to have no meaning to my situation. Here's my email and btc.com's response:
hi I have a btc.com wallet and I followed the tutorial how to get my btc cash after the hardfork. But in the lower left corner, instead of recovery tool, it says bitcoincash wallet and when I click I arrive at the other orange wallet and its got zero in it. I have funds in my btc wallet but they are not in my btccash. What do I do?
They replied:

D3/L3+/S9 is sold out.
D3 will be available on 10th August 2017, 5PM Beijing time.
For S9 and L3+ currently we do not know exact dates when it will be available.
Now I have no idea if the above has some kind of bearing on my problem. I have no idea what they are talking about. Can you advise me how I can extract my bitcoin cash from my bitcoin? Thanks
I think you've copied the wrong response or they accidentally responded to a different question. In any case you won't be able to see your BCH balance if you transfer your Bitcoins now to a BCH wallet.
The only way to get your BCH balance is if you had the private keys to your BTC before August 1st. Since Coinbase doesn't give you access to your private key you can't really claim you BCH now.
However, Coinbase said they will start supporting BCH from January 2018 and will probably (not sure though) give people the BCH balance they should have had during the fork.
Hope this helped.

From your biggest fan and Judge, Billy Dec August 30, 2012 For the last 5 years I have had the extreme honor of being asked to judge the annual auditions for the Luvabulls, the Chicago Bulls dance team that pumps up our awesome players & fans every game! It's actually really tough to choose a final squad from the hundreds who compete for the spot as all are so super talented, cool, positive, energetic and wonderful representations of our great city! Anyway, a bunch of people who follow me on Twitter & Facebook were intrigued and wanted to see more, so here is a random quick video glimpse of what I embrace as one of my favorite, unique, lively.. jobs I take on as a volunteer for one day a year!

When Prince Charles and Diana got married about 30 years ago, I was a young un just out of college and living in a group house in Washington, D.C. with 3 other women. Yes, it made total sense for us to get up early (I remember something pretty early like 5 am), huddle with coffee and watch the festivities with stars in our eyes. Sure, we thought Charles pretty dowdy, but Di was young and lovely, and her dress was all that the excess of those times celebrated. I remember the gasps as she exited the carriage and that amazing train unfolded behind her.
Well, it ain't happening again. Combine 30 years and the fact that I now live on the best coast, and that means Prince William and Kate will be taking their vows in the bloody middle of the night. In this era of DVRs, YouTube, and the like, I'm sure that I'll be able to catch anything I want to see. For me, I'm very curious about the John Rutter piece composed especially for the ceremony – I love his music!
The cats are with me in my thinking. Izzie has decided on a calm inspection of my slog-a-long sweater for Afghans for Afghans:
I'm hoping to finish it by the weekend – just about 1/2 a sleeve, some neckline ribbing, and the weaving in of the ends!
While Brandy makes clear what she thinks of the idea of getting up in the middle of the night to watch a royal wedding.
(Let me assure you that no knitwear was harmed in the production of this blog post.)
See you all on the other side!

Vermont's first-term governor is looking to get back in the seat - the driver's seat.
Republican Gov. Phil Scott says he plans to practice at the Thunder Road Speedbowl this week, and may even compete in a race. Scott raced in the Merchant Bank 150 last year and placed fourth.
The Burlington Free Press reports that Gov. Scott says he will only race if he's going to be competitive, joking that he didn't win in his races as lieutenant governor. The first-term governor began his racing career in 1991 and hopes to continue racing even now while he serves as governor of Vermont.
The latest news from around the state
He brushed off a suggestion that his security may object to him returning to the racetrack.

Lamb and mint are a very traditional English combination. But the straight mint jelly that is often served with lamb is a little too sweet for our taste. Add some fresh lemon juice for tartness, a bit of cardamom for a touch of exotic aromaticity, and some butter to smooth the whole thing out, and you've got the makings of a great but very quick and simple pan sauce.
This recipe is also great on the grill. But since a hot fire, which is what you should use, is a bit hotter than the broiler even set on high, cook the chops for about 1 minute less per side.
- Yield
- Serves 4
- For the sauce:
- One 8-ounce jar mint jelly
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- Seeds from 4 cardamom pods (or 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom)
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, cut into very thin strips
- 4 8-ounce double lamb rib chops, 1 1/2 inches thick
- 3 large cloves garlic, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1. Preheat the broiler, set on high if you have a choice.
- 2. Make the sauce: In a medium sauté pan, warm the jelly over low heat until it liquefies. Stir in the lemon juice and cardamom, then raise the heat, bring to a simmer, and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cold butter a little at a time, swirling the pan to blend it into the sauce. Stir in the mint leaves and set aside.
- 3. As soon as the sauce is done, cook the chops: Dry the chops with paper towels, rub them with the cut sides of the garlic cloves, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place them on the rack of the broiler pan about 3 inches from the heat source and cook until well seared on the outside and done to your liking on the inside, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. To check for doneness, nick, peek, and cheat: Make a 1/4-inch cut in the thickest part of the meat: it should be slightly less done than you like it. Remove the chops from the broiler and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- 4. Serve the chops accompanied by the sauce.
The cut:
Here we are calling for chops from the rib area of the lamb, the lamb equivalent of the Delmonico steak. Since these chops are relatively thin, we are using double-thick ones here, each containing two rib bones. Although not as expensive as loin chops, they are still going to set you back a bit, but they are really excellent little chops. A slightly less costly approach is to buy whole racks and cut them into 2-bone chops. Other cuts you can use:
If you don't mind the expense, double loin chops are an excellent substitute in this recipe.
If you don't mind the expense, double loin chops are an excellent substitute in this recipe.

The City of Vancouver's ban on doorknobs in all new buildings, which went into effect last month, has drawn a strong reaction from the public and heated debate across Canada as other jurisdictions consider the measure. The code revision, which substitutes door levers for knobs, is part of a broader campaign to make buildings more accessible to the elderly and disabled.
Critics, particularly doorknob manufacturers, have complained about government overreach. The Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) says that Vancouver, the only city in Canada that determines its own building code (provincial governments have that power elsewhere), changed the rules on its own. If the city had asked for a revision of the national regulations, detailed cost studies would have been performed, the trade group says.
Other criticism has centered on the danger of bears, common denizens of British Columbia, to more easily enter a home through a door equipped with a lever rather than a doorknob. Pitkin County, Colorado, has banned door levers to diminish the possibility of bear intrusions.
Support for the door lever provision is widespread, however. Members of the municipal council in Halifax and city councilors in a Toronto suburb are considering asking their provincial government to follow Vancouver's example.

I have been so occupied with doing fun things before school starts, trying not to cry every single minute, and preparing my child for every possible school-related scenario. In all this prepping for our whole life to change, I forgot one big thing. I'm about to be a "school mom." I'll give you a moment to stop cringing. I had to take several.
You may be thinking, what's the big deal with that? I'll tell you, everything is the big deal with that.
It makes me nauseous to even have to spend time writing about or worrying with this. I've been lucky to avoid it for so long. I have my small group of genuine, dependable girls who love me just as I am and I'm terrified to venture out from that.
They don't care if I ate too many donuts last week. They don't care if I only shop at Kohl's, with coupons. They don't care if they stick to my floors or find pee in my toilet. They don't mind that I am THE helicopter mom. They still talk to me even when I don't make sense, or sometimes forget to ask them about their day or if I cry over my child pooping in a potty. They love me anyway. They pray with me, cry with me, laugh with me and at me. It's great. The drama is nowhere to be found.
It's been so nice to be surrounded by that. Will all the moms be this way? To me, it seems things have turned into a kid-competing, fashion-challenging, mom-shaming way of life. I know I'll need to be friends with several of the moms. I'm hoping my kid will make friends with other kids, which means I have to talk to the other moms and do parties and other fun stuff, which means us moms will need to be friends too.
The thing is, I'm really terrible at making new friends.
I feel like there will be some other school moms who are like me, reluctant to be outgoing. That's also hard because we're both standing in the corner picking our cuticle, waiting for someone to talk to us. That won't get us very far in the friend making journey.
I'm hoping to be surprised. Maybe, just maybe, the entire thing has changed since I've been in my own little bubble these last few years.
Just in case, I'm passing out flyers for the first week of school:
Hi! I'm a new school mom. It's my first time. I don't even know where to drop off my kid at school yet. I have no clue how to do the school mom thing. I hope we can still be friends. I'm really going to need a few friends to get me through this. If you've been down this road before, I really want to look up to you and seek your wisdom. Please don't disappoint me by walking away when I gather up the courage to say hi.
I'm not asking for a nightly or even weekly commitment here. We all have busy lives. I'm just asking that we all simply talk to each other occasionally and be nice.
If you see me, or another mom like me, standing off to the side looking terrified, please approach us. While it may be so easy for you, some of us moms need that little extra nudge. I know you probably want to roll your eyes at that, but while we may have different conversation starting abilities, I guarantee we will both go home and cry about how big our babies are getting.
If you're new like me, we're in this situation together. I'm sure we have similar emotions going on and maybe a few things in common, you know, like our kids. Can we just forget any nonsense and be friends?
If you can, please come to my house on Friday. We'll all have coffee and I'll take you on a grand tour. We'll trek through Dust Bunny Village, voyage along the Leaning Tower of Sink Dishes, explore the Unopened Mail Stack of Horror and discover the great Under Couch Toy Museum. Finally, we'll stop for a break to talk and laugh and cry at the reality of it all.
Let's just power through this season together. I promise to love you for you. Can you please do the same for me?
I'm sure this will instantly put me at the lunch table by myself all over again, craning my neck to see if there's anyone who might sit with me. It's ok though, I'm taking one for the team, because someone needs to say it.
Please like, share, and follow!

This article is so true. As a first year teacher this year, I worked hard to think through each part of the day so that I would have a procedure in mind to teach the students. We worked each day for the first week learning these procedures, and it was amazing to see how much that paid off. There were lots of things in my classroom that pretty much ran themselves because the students knew what to do and when to do it. This not only helped me, but my substitute teachers were also very appreciative as well. Teaching and practicing procedures at the beginning of the year cannot be emphasized enough!

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says he's looking forward to meeting with the commissioner of Major League Baseball at the end of the month in his ongoing quest to see the sport return to the city.
Coderre says his meeting with Rob Manfred on May 28 in New York City will be a first opportunity for the two to chat face-to-face.
"We will show Mr. Manfred our love for the sport," Coderre said in an interview. "I don't want to negotiate openly, but we'll clearly talk about Montreal."

From SunSentinal.com:
If you claimed a home buyer tax credit, don't be surprised if your friends at the Internal Revenue Service ask for an audit.
The Associated Press reports that National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson told a congressional committee Thursday that about a fifth of all IRS audits done by mail in the past six months were for people claiming the credit. The audits can mean major delays -- up to five months -- in getting refunds, AP says.
Lawmakers approved an $8,000 credit for first-time buyers last year to help the beleaguered housing market. It was supposed to expire Nov. 30, but Congress extended and expanded the program. Existing homeowners looking to buy new principal residences now are eligible for $6,500.
First-time and repeat buyers must sign sales contracts by April 30 and close by June 30 to be eligible for the credits. And in case you were wondering, don't expect any more extensions.

Arab kids sing 'May our blood be shed' in school in East Jerusalem
From News from Jerusalem:
A Hamas terrorist arrested last month for planning to shoot a missile at a sports stadium in Jerusalem, was a resident of the Sur Baher neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
A glimpse of the world of education in Sur Baher in East Jerusalem was recently made available by Hamas TV. A broadcast showed how the Jerusalem children in the Islamic Riyad (Gardens of) Al-Aqsa School were taught to sing about desiring death: "May our blood be shed."
They also sang the following in front of the cameras:
"How strong is the army of Al-Aqsa.
I am a soldier, defending its protected area.
How precious is the land of Al-Aqsa.
I shall give up my life for its sake."
This footage of young children singing and being taught these lines in the Islamic Riyad Al-Aqsa School in Sur Baher appeared in a documentary program entitled "The Shahids' (Martyrs') Wedding" on Hamas's Al-Aqsa TV.
In the past, Palestinian Authority TV has also shown children in PA schools reciting poems glorifying Martyrdom death, for example including the words:
"I have let my land drink my blood,
I love the way of Martyrdom."
[PA TV (Fatah), Nov. 14, 2008]
PMW has documented the promotion of Shahada (Martyrdom) to children and adults by both Fatah and Hamas.
The following is the transcript of the words of the songs Arab children were taught in Sur Baher in East Jerusalem:
[Sign on school:] "The Islamic Riyad (Gardens of) Al-Aqsa Schools - Sur Baher" (Jerusalem)
Young children in school sing:
"How beautiful are the gardens of Al-Aqsa.
I am a bud atop its hills."
Footage of children doing "V" signs while others try to hide their faces as they hold up stones and a rifle bullet.
"How strong is the army of Al-Aqsa.
I am a soldier, defending its protected area.
How precious is the land of Al-Aqsa.
I shall give up my life for its sake."
Young children in classroom sing:
"In the way of Allah we proceed aspiring to raise the flag.
May the glory of the religion (Islam) return, and may our blood be shed."
[Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), Dec. 10, 2010]

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has been hospitalized for the third time in four months, the New York Times reports. The 94-year-old is suffering from a recurring lung infection, according to a statement released by President Jacob Zuma, who asked people around the world to pray for the anti-apartheid icon:
It was the third time in four months that Mr. Mandela, 94, South Africa's first black president and former leader of the dominant African National Congress, had been hospitalized. He was admitted shortly before midnight on Wednesday, the statement said, but the authorities delayed the announcement for several hours. The episode rekindled worries about his frailty.
Mr. Mandela spent 19 days in December hospitalized for a lung infection and what government officials described as the surgical removal of gallstones. He was readmitted earlier this month for what was termed a scheduled checkup.
Mr. Mandela has struggled with lung problems since he contracted tuberculosis during his 27 years in prison in the apartheid era, when his incarceration became a potent symbol in South Africa and around the world of the struggle to throw off a codified system of racial domination devised by the country's white rulers.

Samaj is inevitable. It will always be there as long as humans live. Samaj establishes norms and makes sure we follow them. Samaj shapes our thoughts - sometimes by reasoning (which may seem illogical at times), sometimes by force (which is mostly illogical).
In Samaj ka Circus, Samaj will tell you two of its choicest stories. One of the stories (Ek Samaj Aisa Bhi) is about Honey, a straight girl in a homosexual universe. The society in this universe makes sure that the people follow the law of their universe, which is homosexuality and if they hear about straight people, they go berserk. Honeys mother is an MLA and the most powerful person in the village.
The other story (Long Distance) is of Shrikant, who comes from a society where doing Sarkari Naukri is everything and any work other than that is against the honor of the society. Shrikant is forced by his family to prepare for Civil Services, while Shrikant wants to win Kunti Putra Presents Arjun Ki Machchli ki Aankh - a reality show for startups!
How will Samaj take it? Will it allow Honey and Shrikant to stay who they are? Or will it try to force a change? Or will it change itself?

Non-Tofu Pumpkin Pie
Healthy oil crust:
3/4 cup white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons ground flax seed, optional
2 tablespoons wheat germ, optional
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup oil
2-4 tablespoons nondairy milk (I use soymilk) Pumpkin filling:
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup plain nondairy milk (I use soymilk)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup oil
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup beet sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon molasses
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. For crust, mix together white flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed, wheat germ, and salt. Mix in oil until completely blended. Add nondairy mik until mixture holds together; add up to another 2 tablespoons milk.
2. Preheat oven 450 degrees F. Roll out and place in a pie pan; trim off edges and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. For filling, add lemon juice and non-dairy milk to a measuring cup, and allow to curdle. In a bowl, mix flour and oil thoroughly.
3. Combine and mix together milk mixture, flour mixture, pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, molasses, and salt. Pour filling into pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Turn down heat to 350 degrees, and bake 40-50 minutes. Cool and serve.
This is wonderful!! I made this as a vegan option for my daughters birthday get together this weekend and my non-veg family loved it! I couldn't stop thinking about it so I made another one the next day! Delicious!!
This pie was absolutely delicious! I've had vegan pumpkin pie with tofu in it and didn't really care for the flavor. This pie filling, however, is heavenly, and by adding about a teaspoon of cornstarch to it, as others suggested, you get the right consistency (especially after you let it sit in the fridge overnight). I will definitely make this again! ;)b
This was FANTASTIC
I was worried about the crust so I did a trial run before thanksgiving and it actually turned out awesome! There was just enough of it, and I could roll it out I just kinda smooshed it into the pie dish but it worked fine
Also, when I made it the first time I used veg oil and when I made it the second time I was at my parent's house and all they had was canola, and apparently it had a stronger "oily" taste than the veg oil i used, so be careful which oil you use because it can really affect the taste
pretty tasty! used a storebought crust.
i think it could have been sweeter. it was more "pumpkiny" than i was used to, but still good. my family (omnis) approved!
I made this before and it was great, but this time it never set. I gave it more than an hour in the oven and then overnight in the fridge and the filling never solidified past a very liquid-y consistency like pudding. I even added an Ener-G egg. Don't know what I did wrong this time, but will try again another time. My friend suggested adding a little xantham gum to help it set - I've never used that before. Anyway, the flavor was great and while I couldn't serve it to my omnivorous parents, my vegan boyfriend happily ate the whole thing in 24 hours.
I made the recipe exactly as written as a test run before I make another one to feed to omnis. It is really good. I'm going to follow some of the suggestions made in the comments, like use coconut milk, but it's incredible without modification. It set well - not too light or heavy - and has great spiced pumpkin flavor.
I used full-fat coconut milk in place of the soy milk and this pie turned out perfect! I also cheated on the crust and used a frozen one.
I wanted to test this recipe before bringing it to Thanksgiving dinner for the non-vegans to eat so I would know that the texture was right. It was and I will be making this for Thanksgiving!
When I do make it again, I think I'll make my own crust--didn't like the frozen one very much. Great recipe!
It Came Out Perfect and tasted exactly like pumpkin pie.. i was really glad, but i had to make pumpkin puree from scratch, i used 1 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree ( i chopped the pumpkin in long peaces and put them in a microwaveable tub with a bit of water in the bottom and nuked it for about 18-20min then waited a bit for it to cool down then scooped the flesh out and then drained water from the flesh , then i put it into my mini blender for a couple a seconds.) i added a bit more spices to it as well, ginger ,clove,Cinnamon,nutmeg.. also added the cornstarch in the soy milk.
i used a different crust recipe :Worlds Easiest Pie Crust
link: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6769.0
when it was cooking it was actually bubbling and kind of caramelizing on the top ( i have a fan assisted oven) so i had to watch it constantly turning the heat up and down through out the 40-35 min using my intuition.
gave it a couple of hours to cool in the fridge and then it was ready to eat!
pumpkin pie is one of my favorite foods, when i found out i was lactose intolerant i thought i could never have it again , but me and my husband are so glad i found this recipe! thanks. :>
I am fairly critical of vegan desserts (and food in general). With that said, this is one of the best vegan or non-vegan pumpkin pies I've had. Now, I did modify the recipe as per some user comments and the whole family loved it. Modifications: CHANGED TO 3/4 cup vanilla soy milk, CHANGED TO 3/4 granulated sugar, CHANGED TO 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, ADDED 3/4 teaspoon cornstarch. I just put everything in a food processor and let it fly. I did not use the crust given in this recipe (instead a simple vegan shortening one) so I cannot speak for that. However, you shouldn't be making this pie for the crust, the filling is that good!
I was a little dissapointed with this one, it didn't have the richness I was hoping for, the body of it just wasn't quite right...but everyone loved it anyway and it was gone very quickly!
Using coconut milk instead of soy/rice/nut milk would add richness. Or make cashew cream as a milk substitute (blend 4 parts cashews: up to 2 parts water (depending on how thick you want it): 1 part agave nectar).

Zoe Zebra wants to (maybe) bang 25 dudes to fund her boob job
Canadian pornstar Zoe Zebra wants bigger boobs. A noble goal by any measure, for sure. However, the problem is that Ms. Zebra can't afford the breast implants. The solution?
Have sex with 25 dudes in a trailer behind a stripclub. Duh.
If you are available on September 5th between 8pm and 3am EST, you can maybe be one of twenty-five guys to participate in a gangebange with Zoe Zebra. The event will be held in the French-speaking Canadian city of Gatineau. The actual gangbang will be hosted in a trailer behind the Club 77 stripclub. Each guy participating in the event – which has been officially titled "Ball-O-Thon" – will have to pay an entrance fee of $15.
AD4 Distribution is the Canadian porn production company behind all of this. The company has contractually agreed to pay for Zoe Zebra's boob job if – and only if – she goes ahead and participates in a 25 man gangbang, which will also be filmed for a future release. And, because she apparently REALLY wants some bigger tits, Zoe Zebra has agreed to do it.
A Facebook event page has been established to help promote the event and find 25 guys to participate. As of this writing, 2,500 people have been invited and 289 have confirmed that they'll be going. 74 RSVP'd as "Maybe". I guess it depends on what else they have going on that day.
You may remember that AD4 Distribution is the same classy organization behind the plan to have Heidi Van Horny (another Canadian pornstar) gangbang 23 guys in celebration of her 23rd birthday. That event received a lot of attention, but never actually happened because Van Horny backed out at the last second, citing having "second thoughts."
Everyone thinks this is a bad idea. Even Zoe Zebra.
Having sex with 25 random men in a trailer behind a stripclub – and agreeing to have it all filmed to later be released as a movie – in exchange for ANYTHING is probably not a good idea. And to do this in exchange for some bigger boobs…yeah. This is a very, very bad idea.
The mayor of Gatineau has come out in opposition to the event. In comments quoted in the Toronto Sun, Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin had this to say…
It is shameful for Gatineau. We want to promote a healthy sexuality, and healthy self-esteem for women, and we don't want young girls obsessing over a body that is in many cases not accessible. The values promoted by this event go against all of that.
[But], if it is legal, they will have their event. We cannot invent regulations as we go.
Even Zoe Zebra, who's the one who agreed to have sex with 25 guys in exchange for bigger boobs, doesn't really seem to be all that excited for Ball-O-Thon to actually happen. When asked if she plans to go through with this, her response didn't exactly sound like a ringing endorsement…
I will do it. I took this decision, and if I cancel, they will take me to court.
Yes, Ms. Zebra. If you cancel, AD4 Distribution may take you to court. But if you don't cancel, you will be fucked by twenty-five guys in a trailer parked behind a stripclub. So unless you REALLY want to have some bigger boobs, you might want to just go ahead and get sued.
Because getting fucked by a lawyer is probably a bit more enjoyable than getting fucked by 25 dudes who each paid $15 in exchange for the opportunity.
What are your thoughts on all of this?
Anyone think that the Zoe Zebra "Ball-O-Thon" gangbang is a good idea? Should she go through with this? Is this whole thing even legal? Let us know in the comments below.

Story and images by Erich Eichhorn
July 6,2014 Victoria, BC (ISN) – The newly retooled Westshore Rebels football team held their main training camp Saturday and Sunday in preparation for their 2014 BCFC season just around the corner and three weeks away.

Rebels players were out in force at Westhills Stadium in full gear ready to pop, tackle, and run at each other fighting for a starting spot on the newly rebuilt team. After a spring camp full of local talent, the Rebels organization has also recently caught the eyes of some import talent from the mainland to bolster the aspiring Westshore team. With no fewer than 18 rookies on the team, the Rebels needed to find enough experience to mentor the rookie talent, and to help keep pace with other BCFC teams.
Michael Chaves reaches over the top just at the right moment to knock down the pass from Lake – Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
If you looked for the coach responsible for rebuilding the Rebels organization on the field, you might expect to see a coach with the weight of the world on his shoulders. In coach Axhorn's case nothing could be more to the contrary. According to Rebels Coach Axhorn, ten import players from Vancouver have made the trip across the pond to take part in the main camp and support the teams 2014 bid, all to the delight of the Westshore Rebels organization.
Rebels players take a knee hinging on words of wisdom from freshman Rebels head coach Andrew Axhorn – Erich Eichhorn (www.allsportmedia.ca)
With those new recruits it is hard not to sense the enthusiasm and excitement in Coach Axhorn's voice. "I'm so excited about the season. The player's are excited. Even Jesse Newman, he was excited. It's just good to see the excitement (on the team). There is a lot of good things happening here. These guys are ready to go." Jesse Newman, a former Rebels guard Newman, played five seasons in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders and the B.C. Lions, will be the guest coach assisting Coach Axhorn.

QB Hunter Lake will have some large targets to throw to this season such as this Rebels receiver – Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
Asked to review his teams offensive and defensive performance this weekend, Axhorn would comment first about his standouts on offense. "Apparently I have some really, really good receivers. The receiving core stepped up big today. It's a shame I have some injured running backs and QB's, but it's good to get those kinks out of the way." The Rebels have most notably seen the return of the agile Hunter Lake. Sliding over from receiver last year to take the QB helm after injuries to the then starting QB's Mark Black and Mike Dumesnil, Lake looks to help make a difference this year. Lake, with his running talents evident last year, will take turns at slot back, while also helping fill in at the QB position. Last year he was thrust into a position he had not played since his midget days he would confide to ISN in an interview last year. With a year under his belt at the QB position, the 6'-2, 230lb pivot, is sure to be a difference maker.
QB Hunter Lake takes a dive into the endzone after scrambing for big yards to account for the first of two touchdowns by the Rebels offense – Erich Eichhorn (www.allsportmedia.ca)
Asked about the prospect of being thrust back into a pressure position, as QB, to lead the offense, a humble Lake would comment, "now we have so many guys who are just as willing to go gung-ho just every other guy next to them." Last year was kind of a downer near the end of the season we lost guys (due to injury) and started to fall apart. These guys are going to carry me just as much as I try to carry them. These guys are so devoted. I'm not worried at all."
Lake will QB the Rebels this season in his second year of Rebels play since his midget years – Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
A latecomer to training camp, the decision was not an easy one to make for Lake, who resides in Vancouver. When asked about his late decision to join the team the 20-year old Lake would explain, "Adult life is hard on the mainland. Going to school, having a job, I had to figure out how to quit that without getting into trouble. Soon as I figured that out, I was playing football."
The Rebels defense looked very strong and relentless to the ball during scrimmage Sunday afternoon. Size does not appear to be an issue for the Rebels this season with the likes of 6'-3", 280 lb DL Tyson Morison, 6'-2" 280 centre Kyle Smith, and 6'-3" 280lb Peter Allan to manhandle the opposing team. "The defense needs to just stick to the fundamentals. There were a lot of good things seen, and there were some breakdowns. In retrospect, the defense only gave up two touchdowns in an almost two hour long scrimmage, so that's pretty darn good", coach Axhorn would evaluate.
A swarming Rebels defense is sure to punish their opponents across the ball this season if Sunday's scrimmage was any indication – Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
LB Chris Pastro lines up receiver Griffin Dear. Pastro led hi defensive core through example with some punishing hits – Erich Eichhorn image (www.allsportmedia.ca)
The Rebels first test of the season will be an away game versus the Kamloops Broncos on July 26th, and Coach Axhorn has no concern about the readiness of his team. "They're ready to go. They're excited. When they get to Kamloops they're going to explode. If any teams think they're going to just walk over us, they are in for a big surprise."

Anytime you feel
Like you just can't hold on
Just hold on to my love
I'll help you be strong
But you're so afraid to lose
And baby I can't reach your heart
I can't face this world it's keeping us apart
And I could be the one to show you
Everything you missed before
Just hold on now
'Cause I could be the one to give you more
Anytime you need a love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one that can make it all right
Anytime you need a love baby you're in my heart
I could make it all right
I look into your eyes
And I feel it coming through
I can't help but want you more than I want to
So baby take our love your way
Cast them all on me
That's all I ever wanted was just to make you see
But I could be the one to heal you
All that you've been searching for
Just hold on to my love
And baby let me give you more
Now there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
'Cause baby I'm on fire
And I'll be waiting right here
You know my love is real

What Austrian Economics Is
…and what it is not. That's Steve Horwitz's topic in this post at Coordination Problem. He notes a recent post at FrumForum about "the Austrian school's disdain for American foreign policy and willingness to call Lincoln a tyrant."
No, Horwitz says. Austrian economics is "an approach to the study of human action and the social world, not a set of policy conclusions." Austrian economics is not the same thing as libertarianism, natural rights, or any perspective on American wars past or present.

In all I do I aim to satisfy my customers and clients.
Below is a selection of feedback I have received as an artist and educator.
I had the amazing opportunity to participate on the seminar/event "Branding Yourself via Social Media", where the main focus was to deliver crucial insights into how to create our own online brand via social media. The session was a tremendous success thanks to Lorna's skills. She is a very dynamic speaker and her presentation had a complete coverage in terms of content. Furthermore, Lorna's session was very engaging and tailored to the needs of the audience (LSE MSc. Students in Management). I certainly would recommend Lorna for any training on this topic.
Lorna has done a great job designing an image for the cover of my book. I have also chosen another twelve of her drawings to go in it. She has been a joy to work with and brings with her a wealth of experience and a willingness to insure the absolute best results for her clients.
I had the pleasure of first meeting and working with Lorna last year, while running the first of our University Campus tours. Lorna worked as our careers advisor and product advisor, and is a gifted instructor. Because she has many years' experience, she knows a variety of creative teaching methods to ensure you learn what you need to. Her calming personality makes her audience completely comfortable. I have worked with her again this year as she helped develop the content for our current career seminars
Amazing. We love this!
Very talented dear!
It is incredible !!!
Lorna receives her MBE from

Lorna is a life-force. I've never met anyone quite like her and would have no qualms about recommending her – in fact you'd be lucky if she crossed your path.
Lorna is well known for her supreme character, and is always someone I look forward to working with. Not only is it fun to work with Lorna but it is incredibly enriching. I have learnt a great deal from Lorna and appreciate the great attention to detail she pays to every aspect of a project.
As a new designer starting out on my own business, Lorna is encouraging yet grounded, giving practical and realistic advice.
Lorna has a good understanding of interpreting complex and intricate knit wear swatches into finished garments to the highest standard. She's a real find and I feel very lucky to have her assistance.
Lorna worked with me in co-facilitating aGender's pilot workshops as part of txt-the art of words at Claremont Studios. She was a fabulous colleague and full of inspiring ideas for the sessions. Her personable nature brought out the very best in the participants and we had some incredible discussions led by her incisive questioning. She also brought her own unique artistic talents and ideas to the project and created a beautiful, witty and intelligent artwork as part of the final show.
I can't recommend Lorna highly enough & hope very much to work with her again in future
Lorna is someone that will go above in beyond in helping others meet their full potential in their future opportunities, she is a thoughtful and well connected person who puts others before herself and has a very professional yet approachable personality.
Inspirational, motivational, knowledgeable, approachable…what more can you ask for?

The Onslow Women's Center is a private, non-profit incorporated organization. The Center was founded to serve the needs of battered women and their children; to provide a safe environment in the form of shelter and to provide assistance enabling women to carry out their long range plans.
The Onslow Women's Center began in the fall of 1982. A group of professionals began to address the problem of providing services to victims of domestic violence due to a need defined from statistics gathered from community organizations. In the summer of 1983, a Board of Directors was established. The Board was founded and incorporated as the Onslow Women's Center, Inc. Since that time the word county has been dropped from the name.
In addition to the Domestic Violence Program, the Onslow Women's Center began acting as a rape crisis intervention center. The primary goal is to provide victim support after the crisis of rape or sexual assault.
The purpose of the Onslow Women's Center, Inc. is to provide a comprehensive program for women in crisis; to prevent the recurrence of violence against women through the development of differentiated services to meet the individual needs for these women and their children.
The Mission of the Onslow Women's Center (OWC)
is to provide crisis intervention to victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault and to end all forms of interpersonal violence through education and prevention.
The OWC is committed to:
• Empowering survivors
• Providing a safe and healing environment
• Restoring individual dignity
• Expanding quality services to all persons affected by interpersonal violence

AS ALL of my friends are only too well aware, the current love of my life is my "free" bus pass. Being of a certain age, I am eligible for this little liberating square of plastic courtesy of the Scottish Government, and nothing delights me more than presenting it to the driver, hearing that pleasing "ping" as it registers, and then off I go to wheresoever I may choose.
It isn't "free", of course, just as all the other current freebies in the People's Republic of Alba – prescriptions, eyecare, elderly care, free burials and cremations for children etc – aren't either. They're all paid for by the taxpayer, thank you very much. But as somebody who has, Lord knows, paid my fair share of taxes over the past forty years of a working life, I don't feel too bad about that fact. I've done my bit, so I have, and I'm happy to reap the benefits. Whether succeeding generations will be able to avail themselves of similar benefits when they get old and grey is another thing altogether. Good luck with that one, as I frequently say to my kids.
Travelling frequently by bus has allowed me to observe my fellow travelling Scots at close hand, and I have to say with some fondness and not a little amusement. Buses seem to have more than their fair share of dafties and jakeys compared to the trains or aeroplanes. Recent encounters include being regaled with tales of "jist getting' oot the jile" and "see my man he's no' right neither he is" amongst others. I don't think many of our politicians travel by bus, otherwise they might be just a little bit more connected with their electorate, don't you think? Power corrupts, and travelling expenses and ministerial cars corrupt absolutely.
And I never realised just how often we Scots say "aye" in our everyday speech. On a crowded journey one mid-morning, and without consciously eavesdropping on anyone, I was amazed at how many times that particular word was sprinkled throughout the dialogues between travellers. It must be right up there with "wee" as the most used word in Scots conversation. Maybe the SNP government can make it our national word? I mean, we have a national animal, and a national bird, and even a national flower. Why not a word too? It could then rightfully take its place in the pantheon of great achievements of recent Scottish politics, alongside baby boxes and the minimum unit price for alcohol.
There are buses and buses, though. The smooth Edinburgh to Glasgow express (No. 900, departs every 15 minutes betwixt and between St Andrews and Buchanan Bus Stations) contrasts favourably in terms of "passenger experience" with the bone-jarring trips on some of the local providers out here in deepest, darkest East Lothian. It would be churlish of me to mention any providers by name so I won't, but if East Coast Buses could just ask a couple of its mechanics to take 20 minutes to tighten up all the screws holding their buses together it might just alleviate the noise and rattle considerably. And maybe it's possible to improve bus suspensions? Some extra springs or whatever might provide some relief for us oldies.
It isn't the bus companies' fault entirely, of course. Travelling by bus makes one only too aware of the plague of potholes that is sprinkled liberally over our public roads. Years of neglect by local administrations of all political hues and their concomitant budget cuts have left a legacy that, in all likelihood, will never be fixed. I'm told the only decent, pothole-free roads are in Orkney but I have never been there so can't confirm. Scotland seems increasingly to be a First World country with Third World roads.
Be that as it may, and notwithstanding all of the above, we should raise a glass to Scotland's bus services. For many folk, mainly the young, the poor, and the elderly, they are a lifeline, and often the only public transport available in rural and remote areas. For old folk like me they are a source of joy and freedom in a world which oftentimes can seem increasingly restricted as time and tide takes its toll.
I may have my "free" bus pass as an oldie, but wouldn't it be great if everyone could have one? It isn't as daft a thought as you might think, and it's arguably self-financing as I explained previously here. Indeed, I understand that Estonia of all places has just introduced free public transport across the country and, whilst it may not be one of the model economies advocated in Andrew Wilson's recent Growth Commission Report, perhaps we should be open minded and confident enough to dismiss the usual "not invented here" attitude so beloved of Scotland's political apparatchiks and give it serious consideration?
In the meantime I'm off to see my sister in Glasgow. And, with all the money I'm saving by travelling by bus, I can afford to take her a wee present as well.

If you are a jealous guy, this is probably the first question to ask yourself.
Because the only reason that does justify jealousy is if you need to protect the territory of your relationship.
This is how the jealousy instinct was created in the first place.
If you are non committed, being jealous is a waste of time and energy.
You try to protect something thst does not exist.
On top of that, you do violate her most basic human right: her right for freedom!!!
In that situation, being jealous is a waste of your precious time!
Get back to http://vitalcoaching.com/malejealousy.htm
and buy the e-book + MP3 audios.
That's if you are serious about making a big step forward in your own life.
You deserve to get rid of that useless pattern.
Don't be the slave of your jealousy! Be it's master and use it only when you want or when it is truly appropriate!
Stop behaving like an immature todler!
Now is the time!
Take care

Deus Ex: Human Revolution PC Review
Andy Ruffell / 9 years ago
With the FPS genre being more popular than ever, Deus Ex's return was inevitable. Back in the year 2000 we saw the release of Deus Ex – a highly addictive FPS that incorporated Role Playing and Adventure in one package, developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive, the game was a pretty big hit.
In 2003, Ion Storm followed up Deus Ex with 'Invisible War' which in most critic's eyes wasn't a very good sequel, and left many people disappointed with what they'd developed.
Now, in 2011 we've seen the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Needless to say with the 8 year gap since the release of Invisible War, there's been a gargantuan leap in graphic and AI technology – not only that, with Eidos Monreal teaming up with Square Enix we have a very pretty game indeed.
Since first reading that this game was in production, I was originally glued to my screen for every tidbit of information, then I actually forgot about it until a few weeks before launch as my friend reminded me it was incoming…
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is currently available via Steam amongst all other conventional ways for purchase. There's also multiple versions to buy so be sure to pick wisely for your budget.

Everything you wanted to know about how to make sex AWESOME in your marriage!
It's time to discover what God meant sex to be!
Do any of these sound familiar?
You're about to get married, but…
- You're new at this and you're not sure what to expect!
- You're getting married soon and you're wondering if your sexual baggage will impact your marriage.
- Or you're just plain nervous that sex won't be as great as everyone says it is!
Or maybe you're already married, and…
- You're never in the mood
- Your husband struggles with porn (or you struggle with fantasy)
- Your husband has low libido
- You can't reach orgasm
- Sex hurts!
- You have sexual baggage
- You're confused about setting boundaries when one of you wants something in bed the other doesn't like
- You don't know how to spice things up!
If that's you, you've found some REAL help at last!
Hi, I'm Sheila. I've been married for 25 years, and happily married for 20.
In the first few years of our marriage, sex was a huge issue. He wanted it. I didn't. I felt used. He felt unloved. But then something happened: I asked myself, "If sex is so great for so many people, and God created it to be part of marriage, what if the problem is actually that I don't understand sex?" And that started my journey of research that led to this book. And our marriage has never been the same since.
I really struggled in this area of my marriage for years, and I know what it is to be confused, despondent, and wondering what all the fuss is about. But things have really turned around for me, and they can for you, too. And it's my prayer that this book will be a part of the toolkit God uses to make your marriage thrive!
Sex SHOULD be a fun part of your marriage. If it's not, please read the book. Your marriage will thank you!
It's time to discover what God meant sex to be!
Enter The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex!
Physically Intimate.
Spiritually Intimate.
Emotionally Intimate.
That's what sex is supposed to be!
And yet too often we think that sex is only physical–and we miss out on the amazing richness that God designed for us.
But how can we feel "emotionally intimate" during sex if we feel like sex is somehow dirty? Or if we're embarrassed? Or if it just plain doesn't feel that wonderful?
How can we feel "spiritually connected" when we're awkward and we're not really sure what to do?
That's what this book is for! It helps clear up the misconception that sex is only physical, and shows how all three elements work together. And when there's problems–don't worry! Sheila shows you how to deal with them so that you can find the intimacy you long for.
Think of it as the most fun research project you'll ever do with your husband!
What are people saying about the book?
What to expect from The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex:
You'll get hope that sex CAN be great–even if kids are hanging off of you all day.
If sex has become blah, or has never been that great (or even if you're nervous about your upcoming wedding), Sheila will give you hope that you can experience tremendous fun but also tremendous intimacy in the bedroom with your husband.
You'll feel like you're chatting with a friend.
While other books on sex from a Christian standpoint are often written by men or by couples, Sheila's chatty. And she's a woman. And she GETS you.
You'll get answers to all those questions you wished you could ask a friend–but were embarrassed to!
Sheila answers all those questions that every woman has, from how things are supposed to work to what to do when they don't. Nothing is off limits!
What are you waiting for?
But how does the book work?
- First understand the big picture: Why God make sex the way He did–and why He made men and women so differently!
- Next, a chapter especially for engaged women with questions about the honeymoon & the marriage (whether they're virgins or not)
- Then, the three big areas of intimacy: Physical, Spiritual, and Emotional. All go into a great sex life! Sheila spends one chapter telling how to make things go right, and one chapter telling how to fix problems that come up for each of the three areas of sexual intimacy.
- Answers to your questions on what's okay to do in the bedroom–and what should be avoided.
- Everything you wanted to know about what OTHER people think–the complete survey results of the research that Sheila did with 2000 women, rated their sex life, their honeymoon, and more!
Who was this book written for?
Newlyweds Who Want to Start Well
Worried about your honeymoon? Sheila talks about what to expect–in detail. But what if you're not a virgin? Or you've got tons of baggage? Sheila helps you work through that, too, so that you can start your marriage fresh with a ton of excitement! Best of all, Sheila teaches you how to just relax, and not to get too uptight about what should, or shouldn't, happen right when you get married.
Young Married Women
Things not working as they're supposed to? Are you wondering what all the fuss is about? Sheila helps you see sex in a new way–as something which is not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual, too. And she helps you figure out how to make things work more like clockwork in the bedroom, too!
Women With Questions
If you grew up thinking sex was dirty or bad, and wonder if you can ever actually anticipate sex, you need this book! Or perhaps you have questions about whether or not God can help you get over the baggage in your past–or your husband's past. The Good Girl's Guide has answers.
What are people saying about the book?

Al-Jaafari: Syrian government ready to help apply cessation of fighting actions
New York, SANA-Syria's permanent envoy to the UN Bashar al-Jaafari said on Friday that the Syrian government has spared no effort, since the beginning of the crisis, to find a political settlement to the crisis in the country.
"The Syrian government, in continuation of that approach and in light of its keenness on halting the bloodshed of the Syrians and restoring security and stability to the country, has officially announced its acceptance to the cessation of fighting actions on the basis of continuing the military efforts to combat terrorism against the Islamic State (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist organizations affiliated to them or to al-Qaeda in accordance with the Russian-US joint declaration," al-Jaafari said in a statement following the UN Security Council's adoption of Resolution No. 2268 on the cessation of the fighting actions in Syria.
He added that the Syrian government considers the content of this declaration as an important step towards the political settlement and stresses readiness to contribute to applying the cessation of the fighting actions.
Al-Jaafari noted that the delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic has taken part in the latest Geneva talks with good intention and full seriousness in order to reach a political settlement to the crisis in Syria.
"The Syrian government is ready to actively participate in any sincere effort that aims at reaching this political settlement through which only the Syrian people determine the future of their country via a Syrian-led dialogue among the Syrians themselves and without any foreign intervention in a way that guarantees Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity," al-Jaafari said, affirming that these points are included in the second preliminary paragraph of the Resolution 2268 adopted by the Security Council.
He added that the Syrians are invited to work on consolidating the national reconciliations and mobilizing efforts to eliminate terrorism and start the reconstruction process as well as to build Syria and preserve its sovereignty and its independent decision.
Responding to allegations of US envoy to the Security Council that there is no existence for "Jabhat al-Nusra" in Daraya town in Damascus countryside, al-Jaafari said that this is categorically wrong as Jabhat al-Nusra is present in Daraya, pointing out to a new list that includes names of hundreds of terrorists who were killed in Syria in 2015, most of them belong to Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS and some of them were killed in Daraya.
