I started writing this modesty article twelve years ago. Why the rush? Let's just say I enjoy this topic about as much as men enjoy talking about childbirth.
Would it surprise you to know that I'm not alone?
Many of my friends feel the same way. I'm not talking about my neighbors who wash the car on Sunday mornings in their bikinis. I'm talking about moms and homeschoolers – women who know that modesty is the guardian of chastity and who understand that dressing modestly is a societal virtue.
You'd think we would be on this topic like wool on Amish.
Yet when presented with a modesty pamphlet decrying women who "administer the fatal potion," we excuse ourselves and go google: arsenic dealers.
What is our problem? I'll tell you. It's not modesty. It's presentation.
It is true that St. John Chrysostom said the quote above. It is also true that St. Thomas More called Luther several names unfit to print. Somehow I doubt they would persuade Lutherans to come home.
What went wrong? It is simple. Modesty was taught immodestly.
Modesty is about more than what you wear. It's about the way you interact with others. Certainly, no one shirked their duty to tell this girl the rules of outward modesty. Yet, they trampled on her inner modesty – as a growing, changing girl. They humiliated her. She sought a way to be rid of the feeling. So after years of living according to the rules, and still experiencing the shame, she came away with a blanket rejection of the whole concept – and an eating disorder.
There is a better way. I've been on both sides of the issue as a growing, embarrassed teenager, now the mother of six daughters. My sisters and I grew up with something like what the blogger described and we gave plenty of resistance. By contrast, we have handled our daughters very differently and have had almost no resistance.
You know how Pope Pius XI talked about how a prudent father needs to be careful in discussing intimate matters with his son? That's because of the way this stuff affects him. It is the same with girls. This stuff is intimate. It's the mother's domain and it has to be handled delicately. We can't just charge in.
Imagine if the tables were turned. A growing boy has a temptation to lust, right? Suppose we generate a pamphlet about it. Call it Christ-like Standards for Custody of the Eyes. It would have a picture of a holy hermit scourging himself.
It would spell out numerous examples of violations of thought, word, and deed from which decent women are not safe. We would back this up with saint quotes. Then, instead of giving it to the neighborhood gigolo, we would give copies to our growing, changing boys – then wonder why they're thoroughly embarrassed and resentful.
I am in no way saying that we should not teach our sons purity or teach our daughters modesty. What I'm saying is that we have to be careful about how we teach these things. They are very personal.
We not only want to be respectful, we want to be effective.
Before we get started, we need to acknowledge some basic facts about girls.
Girls want to be pretty. It's the same thing that makes them glue fake flowers on grapevines and coordinate drapes with the sofa. I see it Thomistically. It's a good which, when abused becomes an evil – vanity. Personal beauty is a manifestation of the feminine gift of building culture. It's one of the things we've lost in our world of tight, drab jeans and muffin tops. Let's honor it in our girls and teach them to channel it towards real beauty.
Girls want to fit in. No. They don't want to stick out. This is an important distinction. To a young girl, this is the difference between survival and peer induced social torture. Girls choose their style when they are adolescents. They are going to want to look not weird when compared with others. My sister handled the problem by stashing her friend's clothes in her school locker. She was rumpled, but in her mind, passable. How about we prevent sneaking instead? If there are modest trends, let's use them.
Girls are prey. With all the talk about women's empowerment saying otherwise, young girls don't know this. But unscrupulous guys know it. They know exactly how to manipulate a girl into getting what they want – whether it's by pressure, sweet talk, or even mockery. Merchants also know this. Girls are a vast market. Hook them on a contrived standard of beauty and they will buy, buy, buy. Girls expect this to make them happy but it doesn't. The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty reports that girls get depressed in mere minutes while reading fashion magazines. Most can't live up to the contrived "ideal" body image. The market does not care. It wins because the solution is more buying.
Girls want true love. Girls sometimes dress immodestly to get attention, it is true. But they are not ultimately about conquest; they are about romance and commitment. When they become aware of boys, quite early on, they picture themselves setting up house with the creatures – even if the boys are writhing in the dust, pretending to be escapees from the asylum for the criminally insane. The only explanation for why girls behave this way is that they are hard wired to try to attract one of these. Conquest is much more typical in a young guy, who wants bragging rights. Girls falsely assume guys are like they are. Sigh. See: "Girls are prey" above.
Where does modesty fit in with all this information?
If it's not clear already, the person who benefits most from modesty is the girl. We can talk all about how immodesty is a stumbling block to men but it is not the boy but the girl who is the most vulnerable when modesty is breached.
It is a girl who gets anorexia from poor body image.
It is a girl who is more likely to emotionally bond after intimacy.
It is a girl who risks motherhood with no male support or commitment.
Or worse, heads for the killing factory.
Yes, I know. It is also the girl who offends against modesty. For what it's worth, I don't want to be assaulted with the sight of somebody's personal assets any more than you do. A fork in the eye can be preferable to a trip to a crowded beach. And while it is right for guys to practice modesty, it doesn't usually carry the same urgency. When we women see a half naked guy, even if the guy is good looking, many of us will be embarrassed, like we've accidentally walked into a guy's locker room. Guys react quite differently so I'm told.
So what do we do with such a girl who deliberately "administers that fatal potion" – dresses immodestly on purpose as if to conquer a man? Here is how a friend of ours handled that very problem.
One time my husband and I were in a rough part of town with our friend Patrick when a fight broke out. A mob of teens rushed a fourteen year old girl and her twelve year old cousin. There was no particular reason. It was just something to do. They even took out their phones and filmed it – to post later on youtube, I'm told. Patrick, who works as a mentor to troubled youth, stepped in and stopped the fight. After the mob left, the three of us grownups waited an hour for the victim girls' delinquent relatives to pick them up. The older girl was poured into a pair of jeans and low-cut t-shirt. As she stood on the street corner, drive-by guys slowed down to gawk. She shouted obscenities back. Patrick quietly asked her why she was acting like that. I remember thinking, "Good luck." Then he brought up what she was wearing.
"My heart," she answered softly.
Here was one who "prepared the abominable cup, the death dealing drink." But Patrick appealed to her as a woman who really just wanted to be loved. And she listened.
That's how we should treat our daughters and not like they're a snare to every decent boy who wanders by on his way to Mass.
On a day to day basis, modesty is one of those things that is more effectively caught than taught. My mother didn't often tell me explicitly that I should live a well regulated life – get up early, go to bed on time, make supper at a given time every night. She just did it and now so do I. Similarly, a mother can show her daughter how to be modest and look her best. (No clue how to wed modesty with style? Get the fun book, It's So You by Catholic mom and style consultant, Mary Sheehan Warren.) Dads can lead by example too – my husband gave up shorts years ago.
With such a solid formation, will a girl ever trespass? Probably.
Modesty is like any other virtue – when it's inconvenient people would rather not bother with it. This is not a sign that all is lost. Maturity is a process.
This is not a TV altar call; just add faith and presto-chango! There will be times when Mom does have to talk about it. When that happens coaching is more effective than lecturing. "Eh, that's a little short. How about the black one instead?" Do not condemn. How many of us find condemnation motivating? Anyone? Anyone?
We have to keep sight of the goal which is not just outward modesty. Like the girl in the blog post, that only goes so far. What we really want is for our girls to own it for themselves. They're worth it.
There. Done. Now, who wants to talk about childbirth?

Access Profiles, Inc.: The Challenges and Rewards of Running a Business from Home!
The Challenges and Rewards of Running a Business from Home!
running my own "home-based" business.
Issues like isolation, work/life balance, and professional perception are heightened for the home-based business owner.
To research this piece, I asked my network of home business owners for their opinions on the challenges and rewards they face. I found similar threads among the many answers I received.
The feeling that you are "always at work" is a hard one to break when you are constantly "at the office". I have learned that, barring a special project or rush job, it is important for me to simply stop.
If I was working from a traditional office I would, so I need to treat my home office the same way. No one can maintain their health and sanity without down time.
Not being taken professionally without a traditional office can be a concern.
When I started my business in 1996, there was definitely a prejudice against home-based businesses. However, I believe this is changing. As more and more small businesses are being run from a home office, and much of that business is done online, the need for a "brick and mortar" office is lessening.
Stop yourself from taking personal calls or answering that email from a friend - do exactly what you would do if you were "at the office".
"It takes tremendous discipline and focus to manage business and home life. It is too easy and convenient to go golfing on a nice day. Sit outside and enjoy the weather." Anthony Mannella, Director of Compliance and Enforcement, CAIRSS Corp.
Many expressed that not being able to run down the hall to bounce ideas off a co-worker or get support are definite drawbacks.

Sustaining a back injury may not seem serious, but for many people, these types of injuries can result in deliberating pain that affects their daily lives. When the pain is so severe that people are unable to adequately perform their daily job duties, they may be unable to return to work until they recover. In fact, OSHA has reported that back injuries are a top cause of disability in their working years, costing almost $50 billion a year and affecting more than 600,000 people annually. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has also reported that over a one-year study, sprains and strain made up approximately 43 percent of the 1.3 million injuries and illnesses in private industries that required time off work. A significant portion of these injuries were back-related. Additionally, these numbers are only expected to go up. These types of injuries can include disorders related to the discs, tendons, or muscles of the back, or a cumulative effect of various factors.
It has been reported that some of the following are common ways that workers may sustain back injuries:
Reaching while lifting
Poor posture, or remaining in one position for too long, such as a bent posture
Pulling, pushing, and carrying objects, particularly heavy objects and equipment
Lifting with forceful movement
Bending and/or twisting while lifting
Because there are so many different ways to sustain a serious back injury, anyone working in any type of industry can potentially injure their back severely. For example, someone working in an office can sustain a back injury from poor posture at their desk, falling on their back, or carrying heavy boxes. This is just one of many potential scenarios and examples, but the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has identified laborers and material movers, heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers; and nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants as the most at-risk occupations when it comes to workplace injuries and illnesses. Many individuals in the medical profession, particularly orderlies and nursing aides, are more susceptible to overexertion and back injuries related to moving and lifting patients.
A serious back injury may not always be apparent right away, so it is important to look for certain signs that you may have potentially injured yourself while on the job. Some of these signs include pain when transitioning from a seated to standing position, decreased mobility, and pain when attempting to assume normal posture.
Did you sustain a back injury at work? Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be out of work temporarily or permanently. Sustaining a work-related injury can be stressful in a number of different ways. Injured workers not only have to deal with mounting expenses that they are suddenly faced with, such as medical expenses, but many are unable to work. Even a temporary leave of absence can cause significant financial hardship. Depending on the details of your workplace injury, you may be seeking monetary compensation in a workers' compensation claim. More complex cases that resulted from the negligence of another may also mean pursuing compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.
Many plaintiffs wonder when they can expect to receive money, and understandably so. At USClaims, weoffer an alternative to those waiting on cases to settle; this is a process known as pre-settlement funding. Contact us today to learn more about the process, and to get started!

Bird echolocation inspires new engineering
(Birgitte Svennevig 2 August 2017)
All animals use a combination of senses to survive. But where the majority typically rely on one or two especially sensitive sensory systems, the oilbird excels by apparently having keen senses all-around.
In addition to its extremely sensitive vision, the oilbird has the neural foundation for a powerful olfactory sense, bristles by the beak for tactile sensation, and a powerful echolocation sense, normally found in bats and cetaceans.
"This complex sensory apparatus, where the animal has the ability to combine input from so many well-developed senses, is interesting to study," says Signe Brinkløv of the Sound, Communication and Behaviour Group at the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark.
As a biologist, she is interested in understanding how the oilbird uses its senses to achieve the best possible conditions in its natural surroundings. From a more applied perspective, she wants to apply knowledge of animal sensory systems in new engineering.
"We have come a long way towards understanding individual senses. But senses complement each other, and the balance between different sensory inputs affects the behaviour of the animal when tackling various challenges—this becomes a very complex field of study, which is difficult to transfer from laboratory to natural conditions. If we can learn more about it, perhaps we can transfer the knowledge to technological developments," she says.
An example is the interaction between vision and the sense of hearing, which the animal uses when it echolocates. With echolocation, the animal emits sounds that are returned as echoes from the surroundings and enables it to judge the distance to surroundings or distinguish between food items and other features.
"Today, drones are often controlled manually by a drone operator who is dependent on the video footage from the drone and thus the sense of sight in order to control it. But it quickly becomes difficult to navigate with such a system in darkness or when visibility is poor. If you could combine the sense of sight and echolocation on a drone to navigate based on input from both systems, then more opportunities open up. For instance, it could fly safely and perhaps autonomously in the dark or in between trees in a forest," says Signe Brinkløv.
Signe Brinkløv and her colleagues have studied the echolocation of oilbirds in Trinidad. Oilbirds are nocturnal and live in caves in groups of up to several thousand individuals. At night, they leave the cave to find food. Their ability to echolocate enables them to navigate to and from their nests without bumping into the rocky walls of the cave, even in pitch black darkness.
The researchers hope that with further study of the interaction between oilbird vision and echolocation, they can develop a model that can be applied by sensory researchers and robotics engineers.
The study was published in Royal Society Open Science. It is based on sound recordings of echolocating cave-dwelling oilbirds at Asa Wright Nature Centre, Trinidad. The authors are Signe Brinkløv, Coen Elemans and John Ratcliffe.
Signe Brinkløv is a biologist at Department of Biology. Apart from birds, she also studies porpoise and bat communication. The oilbird (Steatornis caripensis) got its name because just before leaving the nest, the fledglings become so fat that their weight exceeds that of the adults. Just like whales, oilbirds have been used in the past for extraction of oil. Oilbirds also produce other sounds than their echolocation signals, which has led to several Spanish nicknames, including Guácharo and Diablotin (little devil), reflecting ghostly sounding calls which led the local Indians to compare the entrance to the birds' caves with that to the land of the dead.

We have incredible potential to achieve our goals once we understand our thought process and how to use it to our advantage. We can control what we think about at any given time. Certainly external stimuli influence our thoughts, but we can always make a choice to change our thoughts in a positive direction.
Our thoughts eventually create our beliefs. Repetition of positive thoughts (affirmations) can create beliefs that help us achieve our goals. Affirming the positive possibilities in life is a critical step in creating the life we desire.
As we embark on this journey of growth, we must learn to allow ourselves permission to follow the path of achievement without creating our own obstacles. If we control our thoughts and develop productive beliefs, we can open the door to achieve our goals.

The Art of Self-Defense
'The Art of Self-Defense' Fails to Offer a Cogent Point of View on Toxic Masculinity
What this movie is really about is anybody's guess.
Jesse Eisenberg on What You Can Learn From Getting Yelled at in Karate Class
Jokes weren't allowed in karate class when Jesse Eisenberg went full method for his role in 'The Art of Self-Defense.'
By R. Kurt Osenlund


Several years ago the Holy Spirit urged me to memorize Philippians 4:8-9. To memorize Scripture, I copy the verses several times on index cards and then post them all over the place: on my kitchen cabinets, bathroom mirrors, purse, etc.
These are the words from God through Apostle Paul woven into my heart from Philippians 4:8-9: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." To help me remember the order of the words, I came up with the acronym TNRPLA: true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.
About three weeks after memorizing the verse, we were hit with a substantial storm in our family. It was then that I heard God remind me of the verse I had just memorized, TNRPLA. What is true about this situation? What is noble? What is right? What is pure? What is lovely? What is admirable? Think about such things.
My time with God was intense to say the least. He used this verse to help me process a very difficult situation. He reminded me that even in the most deadly, terrifying storms he is God, period. He showered me with love and provided me with the peace He promised in the later part of the verse. When I wanted to slide into a very understandable freak-out, I found that keeping this verse in the front of my thoughts helped. I repeatedly picked apart the verse bit by bit, and applied it to the situation.
God wants you and me to know that when we cling to Him and his Word, our storms are manageable. He wants to guide us through them, refine us in them, and show us the best way to navigate.
What is your current storm? What verse(s) is God calling you to memorize, study, and live by? I can guarantee this: no matter how awful your storm is, God is exponentially greater!
Place washed, whole chicken in a large pot. Fill pot with water 2 inches from the top rim. Add salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer 1 ½-7 hours. (The longer it simmers, the richer the broth will taste.) Remove chicken and set aside. Add veggies to broth and bring to boil again, reduce heat and simmer some more. Meanwhile, with a fork or your fingers, remove meat from chicken bones. Add the chicken back to the soup (discard the remaining skin and bones). Once the carrots are tender (about 30 minutes) add in rice. Taste and add more salt if desired. Serve.
For extra flavor add dill, thyme, tarragon and/or rosemary when you add the veggies.
Beautiful words to live by….God's Word is our sweet peace in the storm. Thank you for the reminder.

Walter Gruler (* 24. August 1951 in Rottweil; † 5. Dezember 2022 ebenda) war ein deutscher Fußballspieler.

Spielerkarriere
Walter Gruler begann seine Karriere als Spieler im Herrenbereich beim FC 08 Villingen. Dort bestritt er in der Regionalliga Süd 1971/72 29 Spiele, in denen ihm ein Treffer gelang. Anschließend ging er zum Freiburger FC. Doch auch seine drei Tore in 19 Einsätzen konnten nicht verhindern, dass Freiburg in der Saison 1973/74 absteigen musste.

1975 ging Walter Gruler in die 2. Bundesliga zu Göttingen 05. Bei Göttingen gehörte Gruler unter Reinhard Roder in der Saison 1975/76 von Beginn an zur Stammformation. Auch als Roder 1976/77 nach der auf einem Abstiegsplatz beendeten Hinrunde durch Bernd Oles ersetzt wurde, behielt Gruler seinen Stammplatz. Doch auch unter dem neuen Übungsleiter verfehlte Göttingen 05 den Klassenerhalt. Als der Bonner SC jedoch die Lizenz entzogen bekam, verzichteten die Verantwortlichen auf den nun möglich gewordenen Klassenerhalt trotzdem.

Daraufhin wechselte Walter Gruler zur Saison 1977/78 in die Südstaffel der 2. Bundesliga, wo er einen Vertrag beim FC 08 Homburg unterzeichnete. Nachdem er dort unter Trainer Uwe Klimaschefski in den ersten sechs Saisonspielen als Mittelfeldspieler nicht zum Einsatz kam, verpasste er nach der Umschulung zum Abwehrspieler von den verbleibenden 32 Partien nur noch zwei Stück. Zusammen mit Albert Müller, Gerd Schwickert und Horst Ehrmantraut bildete Gruler die Abwehrformation, die den Grundstein für den dritten Platz hinter SV Darmstadt 98 und dem 1. FC Nürnberg legte. Auch in der Spielzeit 1978/79 war die Abwehr das Prunkstück der Homburger, die den 7. Platz in der Endtabelle belegten. 1979/80 stand Gruler nach 36 Einsätzen in der Vorsaison nun sogar als einziger Spieler des FC Homburg in allen 40 Ligapartien über die volle Spielzeit auf dem Platz. Dass die Abwehr in jener Saison aber ungewohnterweise schwächelte und schließlich ein nach den Vorjahresplatzierungen enttäuschender 12. Platz heraussprang, konnte auch Gruler nicht verhindern.

Als Homburgs Trainer Klimaschefski nach der Saison zu Hertha BSC wechselte, das kurz zuvor aus der 1. Bundesliga abgestiegen war, folgte Gruler ihm zusammen mit Stammtorhüter Gregor Quasten nach West-Berlin. Bei Hertha bestritt Gruler 1980/81 erneut alle 42 Partien. Am Ende der Saison hatten die Berliner zwar 123 Treffer erzielt und mit Abstand das beste Torverhältnis, lagen aber schließlich mit einem Punkt Rückstand hinter Eintracht Braunschweig auf Platz drei und verfehlten so den Wiederaufstieg. 1981/82 wurde die 2. Bundesliga erstmals eingleisig ausgetragen. Nach einem guten Saisonstart geriet Hertha zum Ende der Hinrunde in eine Krise und rutschte von der Tabellenspitze. So wurde Klimaschefski nach 17 Spielen durch Georg Gawliczek ersetzt. Unter dem neuen Trainer konnte Gruler sich erneut behaupten und schließlich hinter FC Schalke 04 auf Platz 2 den Aufstieg ins Fußball-Oberhaus feiern. Dort musste Gruler mit seinem Verein allerdings 1982/83 umgehend als Letztplatzierter wieder absteigen.

Nach dem verfehlten Klassenerhalt ging Walter Gruler zum 1. FC Saarbrücken. Dort war er in der Zweitliga-Saison 1983/84 zunächst Stammspieler, in der Rückrunde kam er verletzungsbedingt nur noch zu einem Kurzeinsatz. Aufgrund dieser Verletzung beendete Walter Gruler im Sommer 1984 schließlich auch seine Karriere als Fußballprofi.

Video Premiere: Better Off, "Dresser Drawer"
Sing along while the cover of Milk comes to life
When we welcomed Better Off into the Feed The Beat program earlier this year, we were pretty stoked! Over the last year or so, we've watched Better Off (Luke Granered, Jon Dalman, Charles Miller, and Hunter Walls) play shows across the country with bands we know and love (like Feed The Beat alumni New Found Glory, Real Friends, and The Early November), which was a great indicator of their talent. Once we heard their music and felt what they were all about, though, we were hooked on what made Better Off... Better Off. Their incredibly catchy hooks, deeply felt lyrics, and genuine authenticity come through clear as day on the band's most recent release, Milk, and it was love at first listen (and second listen, and third listen...).
Nothing gets us more pumped than when the artists we work with really dive into their creativity (and have a nice sense of humor, too), so it didn't surprise us that when we got to take a peek at the new video for "Dresser Drawer" - one of our favorite songs off Milk! - we were super excited to have the chance to premiere it.
Without further ado, Feed The Beat is happy to present the video for Better Off's "Dresser Drawer":
Along with the video, we spoke with the band about what feelings the video plays off of, the excitement of releasing a new record, and what the new year will bring:
Tell the Feed The Beat community about Better Off in one sentence: Better Off is a rock band from Nashville, TN that craves the perfect riff.
"Dresser Drawer" comes from your sophomore album Milk, which you released earlier this year and have been touring on over the last few months. What's been the coolest part about releasing these new songs? Is there a certain moment in the Milk adventure so far that's been a major highlight? Playing new songs is refreshing, but the highlight of releasing a record is to us is watching where it goes/who will listen to it. It's exciting and nerve wracking.
Was there something that drew you to make a video for "Dresser Drawer" specifically? We chose "Dresser Drawer" because it felt like a strong summation of our style of music. It's also one of our favorites off the record.
Was there something in particular that made you bring the cover of your record to life? The idea for a living sandwich came from Darren King, who directed the video. We loved the cartoon-ish vibe paired with the somber lyrics. Two extremes makes the whole video more interesting.
What's next for Better Off? As 2015 wraps up, we're betting that 2016 is going to be a big one for you guys... any hints? 2016 is going to be a lot of touring for us. But hopefully we can get another smaller release in also! We're excited to continue rocking.
...as are we! It has been awesome to see Better Off grow in just the last few months, and we can't wait to see what 2016 brings for them!

Gerry Dyck
While studying at Mennonite Brethren Bible College in the early 80s, businessman and philanthropist Art DeFehr was a guest lecturer and exposed Gerry to the challenging circumstances of those living in developing nations. After graduation, Art, then United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, invited Gerry to Somalia on an exploratory mission. Although he didn't know where Somalia was, he agreed to come along.
The 15-month trip planted the seed for what would later become iDE. Revolutionary at the time, iDE combined international development and business principles to solve poverty. In 1982, Gerry was iDE's first country director, leading the organization's inaugural project in Somalia. Later, while working for iDE in Bangladesh, he learned about UN-sponsored factories that were making carpets for export. Wired for business, when he learned they needed help with sales, Gerry co- founded a private company called Kalora Interiors International where he remains president. Through business, Gerry continues to create
transformation, positive change and remains committed to sharing his resources to empower others.

When my oldest son turned 11, he asked for a Bionicle Birthday. This party ended up being pretty easy, considering he chose to take a couple of friends to a local trampoline place (it had nothing to do with his theme, but was a great way for boys to spend an hour exercising and burning off energy. "I don't care if you're tired, get back up there and bounce. I PAID for this time already.") After they were all bounced out, it was back home for a treasure hunt, presents and cake. In retrospect I would just buy a trampoline, I recommend the first one mentioned in this article.
For those of you who may not know, Bionicle is a line of Lego toys with a rather elaborate back-story. I don't recommend trying to understand the whole Bionicle history (it is long and complicated since Lego comes out with NEW Bionicles every year or so and they have to fit them into the storyline somehow), but you should brush up on the basics—the Toa are the good guys, there are six of them (in each iteration), they have "elemental powers" (whatever those are), and they all wear masks that give them these powers. If you need more detail, or images to use in décor, try these wiki sites, and Lego.com.
When I found this font, my whole treasure hunt fell into place. I made his birthday sign (a tradition at our house) using both an English Font and the Matoran Alphabet font. This ended up working as his "key" for his treasure hunt.
Honestly, I can't remember how the treasure hunt began. He was told that he had to gather the 6 great Kanohi masks of the Toa in order to receive some fabulous prophecy that had been hidden for centuries (honestly, it was really well written. You just have to take my word for it). The masks were hidden according to their "elemental" power. The Tahu mask (fire) was in the fireplace. Pohatu's (stone) was outside in the rock garden. Lewa's (air) was taped to an air vent. Gali's (water) was in the bathtub. Onua's (earth) was half buried in the dirt outside the back door. Kopaka's (ice) was in the freezer. For the masks, I just printed out the images I found on Wikipedia, and attached them to paper plates.
On the back side of each mask was a piece of the prophecy that the boys had to assemble. In the prophecy were several words that were written with the Matoran Alphabet and he had to use his sign to "translate" them. It ended up being rather obscure (but my son's pretty bright, if I may say so myself). There was a reference in the prophecy to lying down at night, that directed him to his presents which were stacked on my bed (the one room that friends stay out of when they come over).
For the cake, my son showed me the picture of the mask he wanted me to recreate (Toa Nuva Tahu's). I baked the cake in a metal mixing bowl and then cut the sides off of it to make it more oblong than round. I did a base coat of frosting and then used some (rather old—please ignore the "wrinkles") red fondant to create the mask. I used fondant (and a small paring knife) to free-hand the little masks for the friend cupcakes (I don't like giving kids a piece of the big cake—too messy).
We ended up not eating the birthday cake that night. I have to include a picture of what I found the next morning after my 2-year-old had gotten to it. You snooze, you lose, I guess.
Wow, that looks a lot of fun. Being the mom of older daughters, I wasn't familiar with Bionicles. Now I am in the know!
Very informing! I am sure I will need to know this for later! Great post Trina!
My son is a Bionocle FREAK! This is a great party! Love all of the details.
Saw this link on "One Pretty Thing" & had to come check it out. I'm the mom to three boys who ALL love Legos & Bionicles. I'm really not sure if I should show them this post or not. 😉 My oldest turns 13 this summer. I may have to go with it. Thanks for sharing the details!
Thank you… thank you… thank you!!!! I have been all over the web looking for easy ideas for my son who will be 11 in November. I started looking for ideas early because I figured it would take me forever to find something "themed" just right for him.
He LOVES Bionicles and is about to make me crazy trying to get me to understand them….LOL! I am so glad I found your blog. Thanks for the ideas! I'm so excited I can't wait to tell him!
You are a wonderful mother. My 5 y/o is totally obsessed with bionicles and has been for over a year. He wants a Bionicle 6th Bday party so bad but I just don't think I can put it together. I love what you did. I don't have the guts to attempt the cake…maybe the cupcakes…but my freehanding is on a 2 y/o level. We'll see. Maybe if he's still obsessed when he's turning 11, I'll have developed the guts…and skill with Fondant!

China opens up military space programme
Sunday, November 06, 2011 12:57
China is opening up its military-run manned space programme to foreign nations, seeking its own alliances as US concerns see it excluded from the international space station project, analysts say.
An image released by the ESA on November 4, 2011 shows Mars500 crew member China's Wang Yue (top) smiling while emerging from the Mars500 isolation facility in Moscow.
The Asian country this week successfully carried out its first docking in orbit, and the Shenzhou VIII spacecraft involved in the delicate manoeuvre carried German life science and microgravity experiments on board.
It is just one small step, but it is the first time any other country has been given access to China's flagship manned spaceflight programme since it began 20 years ago.
In contrast, Beijing readily co-operates internationally in other fields such as astrophysics and Earth observation.
Isabelle Sourbes-Verger, a China space programme expert at France's National Centre for Scientific Research, said the internationalisation of its manned flights showed China was no longer playing catch-up with other nations.
Germany had an interest in broadening its choice of launchers for its regular microgravity experiments, she said, adding that "nothing was forcing the Chinese to open up their programme to external partners".
The implication, she said, is that Beijing no longer sees the field as primarily the domain of the military.
The final frontier has long been an arena of competition between global superpowers, as evidenced in the 1950s and 60s by the race between Moscow and Washington to be first in orbit, to put a man into space and go to the Moon.
Asia's new superpower began its manned exploration of space in 1990, on the back of bought-up Russian technology as the Soviet Union broke up, and placed the project under the purview of the People's Liberation Army.
It now sees the programme as a symbol of its own global stature and the Communist Party's success in turning around the fortunes of the once poverty-stricken nation.
China is only the third country to send humans into space and has announced plans to build a space laboratory by 2016 and a permanent space station by 2020.
A Chinese astronaut trainer is among six volunteers who will emerge Friday into the outside world after spending almost 18 months in isolation at a Russian centre to test the effects on humans of a flight to Mars.
But unlike the Russians, Europeans and Japanese, China is not part of the multi-billion-dollar International Space Station project, which began before Beijing had developed an advanced space programme of its own.
It still remains excluded because of American concerns over its intentions, experts say.
"It's all because of resistance from the USA," said Morris Jones, an Australian based expert on the Chinese space programme. "This is mainly due to security reasons, but it also involves politics."
Dean Cheng, a research fellow at the Asian Studies Center of the Washington-based Heritage Foundation think-tank added: "There are a variety of concerns, not just security in the military sense, but also issues of technology transfer and information access."
Illustrating these concerns, two US congressmen blasted the White House and NASA this week for "dangerous" cooperation with China, saying technology transfer had greatly enhanced Beijing's missile and rocket capability.
Undaunted, Wu Ping, spokeswoman for China's manned spaceflight programme, said Beijing would seek "concrete co-operation and active exchanges with all the countries of the world on the basis of openness and transparency".
How far that co-operation will extend remains unclear, however, and in space it can be a long march to the future.
Cheng pointed out that extensive preparations were needed before a Cold War-era rendezvous between American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts took place in 1975.
"The Apollo-Soyuz mission required years of careful negotiation between the US and the USSR," he said.

As part of the third Canada-China Annual Leaders' Dialogue, the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today met with Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, Li Keqiang.
11 signed agreements during last week's Atlantic Growth Strategy mission in China, to support industries and create jobs for people in Atlantic Canada.
Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Lialso issued a Joint Statement on Marine Litter and Plastics, recognizing the importance of taking a lifecycle approach to manage plastics and protect our oceans. Canada is leading efforts to bring countries together to eradicate plastic pollution, most notably through the Oceans Plastics Charter, which five countries endorsed at the G7 Leaders' Summit in Charlevoix.
The two leaders discussed deepening bilateral trade and investment by expanding cooperation in sectors like agriculture, energy, and clean technology. They also pledged to continue to promote multilateralism, free trade, and the rules-based international order. They agreed to deepen their collaboration through bilateral and multilateral forums, such as the World Trade Organization.
The two leaders had a frank and open discussion on human rights, freedom of expression, and freedom of religion. Prime Minister Trudeau expressed Canada's concern about the situation facing Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang.
Building on the success of the Canada-China Year of Tourism, the Prime Minister and the Premier discussed how our two countries will continue to work together to grow our tourism sectors, which could include cooperation on winter tourism. Prime Minister Trudeau also encouraged more Canadian and Chinese students to study in each other's countries.
The Prime Minister expressed his appreciation of China's ongoing cooperation with Canadian law enforcement to disrupt the international trafficking of illicit drugs, including by sharing information and through other joint initiatives that aim to reduce the manufacture and trafficking of opioids to Canada.

London's Best
By Royal Appointment...
All these businesses have the Royal seal of approval
We were wondering, do the royals have a preferred fungal toe nail treatment? Septic tank emptier? Peep show?
Whatever they chose to endorse, that royal crest doesn't do your business any harm - it guarantees a certain standard of service and gives an assurance of top quality.
Whether they wander down Oxford Street handing out these accolades themselves or just leave it to the minions, we're unsure, but we've put together a list of some of our favourites... of the royal favourites.
1 Carnaby Street Oxford Circus W1F 9QF
Region: Oxford Circus
Nearest Station: Piccadilly Circus (0.2 miles)
AIL Says: This men's clothes shop on Carnaby Street is where the Duke of Edinburgh, aka the King of Foot-in-Mouth Gaffes, buys his vests. They were bestowed with the royal warrant in 1975, and their other prestigious credentials include creating a cashmere collection with Christian Dior and clothing the Ryder Cup golfing champions.
FASHION SHOPS
Fortnum and Mason, Piccadilly
AIL Says: The Harrods of grocery stores, Fortnum & Mason was given both the Queen and Prince Charles' exclusive stamp in 1955. Fun fact: they claim to have invented the Scotch egg. Although the Queen is known to stick to a super healthy diet of grilled meats and no carbs at dinnertime (she has reached the age of 90, after all), this is her go-to store for the eggy treats.
73-77 Regent Street Mayfair W1B 4EF
Region: Mayfair
AIL Says: The royals love a spot of hunting and horseriding. Barbour is where they buy their coats, which are suitably quilted and waterproof for all their outdoor pursuits in the British drizzle.
CLOTHES - MIXED
USERS 1/10
Jack Barclay
18 Berkeley Square Mayfair W1J 6AE
Nearest Station: Green Park (0.2 miles)
AIL Says: Naturally the Queen isn't going to be seen driven around in a Ford Fiesta. Instead she favours Rollers, Daimlers and Bentleys. The latter created a unique limousine for her to be ferried around on her Golden Jubilee in 2002. She endorsed their Berkeley Square dealership in 2014.
USERS 10/10
Rigby & Peller
13 King's Road Chelsea SW3 4RP
Region: Chelsea
Nearest Station: Sloane Square (0.1 miles)
AIL Says: Does Her Majesty wear lacy basques? It's one of the many lingerie garments celeb-favourite Rigby & Peller sell, as well as suspender belts and babydoll dresses. She granted them the royal warrant in 1960, so perhaps she's foxier than we thought.
71-72 Jermyn Street St. James's SW1Y 6PF
Region: St. James's
AIL Says: When Prince Charles was given the power to hand out royal warrants, the first company he chose was men's bespoke clothing retailer Turnbull & Asser. In their own words "we have been the choice of discerning gentlemen for handmade clothing and accessories for over a century". 'Nuff said.
SHIRT MAKERS
278-306 Oxford Street Marylebone W1C 1DX
Region: Marylebone
Nearest Station: Oxford Circus (0.1 miles)
AIL Says: We can exclusively reveal that the Queen gets Bucks Palace's curtains from John Lewis (possibly), as the store has had her Royal Madge's seal of approval since 2007. Britain's favourite department store is also one of the most egalitarian, as every single employee owns a share in the company and therefore get a percentage of its profits.
14 Princes Arcade St. James's SW1Y 6DS
AIL Says: The Queen is just like everyone else really, at least in terms of tucking into a big old box of chocolates. As well as endorsing Cadbury's, she likes gourmet chocolatiers Prestat. Their specialties are truffles, which they experiment with by flavouring with sake, cardamom chai and blackforest gateau.
All Best For Lists


I'm agree she has great character development in the end when she decided to go to Hoenn.
Misty May Dawn Iris have more development.
I said Serena is a great performer trainer that she should become a performer Idol that gives more to her as a character, a story about her becoming performance trainer Idol and I think she has a great voice being a singer too that's what Serena should be as a great character.
Even plumerio, the coach of the current Kalos Queen sensed that Serena had a deep talent within. That's why she offered Serena as her apprentice.
13 She Makes Sure Her Pokemon Do Things They are Comfortable With.
That's respectable. I'll say THAT much.


WHEN: Saturday, Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 15 at 4 p.m.
Mammoth Lakes, Calif. – Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre (MLRT) and Artistic Director Shira Dubrovner announce the special limited engagement of "Squeeze My Cans." This entertaining, engaging and enlightening story plays at the Edison Theatre for one weekend only, Jan. 14 and 15. The Church of Scientology had actress Cathy Schenkelberg for 14 years of her young, adult life. It took another five years for her to escape in the face of harassing phone calls, midnight knocks on her door by "outreach" staffers, an expensive custody battle, and social rejection. In her original solo show, Schenkelberg shares a glimpse behind the velvet curtain of this strangely hilarious and unbelievably horrifying story of loss, isolation, manipulation, and the relentless power of survival through persistence and humor.
From the third grade Schenkelberg loved performing and sang at clubs, on cruise ships, and on stages all over Chicago. What found success in voice-over work with campaigns for Sears, Kohl's, Applebee's, SC Johnson, and feminine hygiene ads. In recent years she's played Madame Thenardier in Les Miz; Violet/Zuzu in It's a Wonderful Life; and Sue Ellen in Honky Tonk Angels at Sierra Repertory Theatre in Sonora, where Dubrovner first saw her perform.
The Chicago Reader said, "Her brutally honest story comes through loud and clear" and Splash Magazine said, "Extremely impressive feat; this production is highly recommended."
Tickets are available online at www.MammothLakesRepertoryTheatre.org for $20 general admission, $18 for seniors and students, or $22 at the door (sorry, no discounts). This production is suitable for children ages 13 and above.
For more information about the season visit the theatre's website at MammothLakesRepertoryTheatre.org.

Q: Pass in JFrame to change brightness? I am trying to make a popup over my JFrame in Swing. I have made it so that the popup will be layered over the old JFrame and disable the old one by passing in the JFrame and then .disable(). However, i am also trying to make the frame behind darken to show that it is disabled.
I found this:
stackoverflow - Change brightness of JFrame
But how do i use it to lower the brightness of the JFrame that i have as a parameter just before i disable it? Something like darken(frame) and it lowers it using the function darken(JFrame frame). Thanks!

A: In fact, I'm going to make my comment an answer:

*

*To show a window over another window, and disable the lower window, make the upper window a modal JDialog, and pass the lower window in as its parent.

*One way to dim a top-level window is to get its glass pane, set it visible, and draw a semi-opaque grey color over it.

Here's my test of concept code:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Dialog.ModalityType;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.*;

public class DimView {
   protected static final Color GP_COLOR = new Color(0, 0, 0, 30);

   private static void createAndShowGui() {
      final JFrame frame = new JFrame("DimView");
      final JPanel glassPanel = new JPanel() {
         protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent(g);
            g.setColor(GP_COLOR);
            g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
         };
      };
      glassPanel.setOpaque(false);
      frame.setGlassPane(glassPanel);
      JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
      mainPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 400));
      mainPanel.setBackground(Color.pink);
      mainPanel.add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Push Me") {

         @Override
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            glassPanel.setVisible(true);

            JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame, "Dialog",
                  ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL);
            dialog.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(200, 200)));
            dialog.pack();
            dialog.setLocationRelativeTo(frame);
            dialog.setVisible(true);

            glassPanel.setVisible(false);
         }
      }));

      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
      frame.pack();
      frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            createAndShowGui();
         }
      });
   }
}
