E3 2021GamingPC
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Announced; Coming Spring 2016
Archie Paras • Jun 15, 2015 11:44 PM EDT
EA CEO. Peter Moore, during Microsoft's E3 2015 press conference, announced Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. The new title will introduce new characters, new worlds and new ways to play the game.
Garden Warfare 2 will feature 12 maps in online multiplayer, local split-screen and a single-player mode. EA promises free content updates.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 will release in Spring 2016 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. We will bring you any new information as soon as it becomes available.
EA's press conference is almost underway and the publisher will definitely be bringing the big guns.
EA promises to bring down the house at E3 2015 with Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and so many other titles
EA seems pretty confident about E3 2015, stating that they will bring the house down, and given that they will be showing Need for Speed, Star Wars Battlefront, Mass Effect, the newly announced Mirror's Edge Catalyst, the new Plants vs Zombies game, and at least one more Star Wars title, I would have to agree that they could definitely achieve that.
Industry insider Shinobi602, who has been pretty accurate with everything he shared throughout the year, stated that EA has a lot more to announce at E3 2015. During a recent discussion over at NeoGAF, Shinobi stated that we should "look for 3 unannounced EA games, one of which is a new IP."
Criterion's new game was teased last year as a new IP focusing on extreme racing. Visceral has been teasing their upcoming Star Wars game, which is the project that Amy Hennig is associated with, so a reveal at E3 2015 is likely to happen. Bioware's new IP has been teased for some time now so we might actually get a teaser of what that might be.
We will bring you any new information on Plant vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, as well as EA and E3 2015 as soon as it becomes available.

Amy Hoover Sanders Biography
(Wife of the U.S Congressman Beto O'Rourke)
Born In: United States
Amy Hoover Sanders is the wife of the U.S Congressman Beto O'Rourke. Amy was born into an influential family in Texas and grew up in a charged, political atmosphere. Armed with a degree in Psychology, Amy was passionate about teaching from a young age. However, she became a recognized name in the media after she married Beto O'Rourke, whom she met through a blind date. Their unbinding love and support for each other is always highlighted, and Amy is always seen alongside her husband across his campaigns in the country. She is also an accomplished entrepreneur and has set her passion of teaching into a philanthropical journey by co-founding the La Fe Preparatory School. Currently, Amy works as the Director of Education Development for La Fe Community Development Corporation and remains an influential educator in El Paso.
https://heavy.com/news/2018/11/amy-sanders-orourke-beto-wife-bio-photos/
father: Willian Sanders of El Paso
mother: Louann
Family Members American Female
Founder/Co-Founder: co-founded La Fe Preparatory School
Amy Hoover Sanders' early career involved a degree in psychology from Williams College in Massachusetts. She also has a certificate in Spanish. However, her passion lay in teaching and she decided to begin her career by teaching for a year in Guatemala. In Gautemala, she worked as a kindergarten teacher at Colegio Americano de Guatemala until 2004. She left Guatemala in 2004, returning to El Paso to teach first and second grade.
She returned to her hometown, El Paso, and co-founded La Fe Preparatory School, a charter school. She worked as the superintendent from 2007 until 2013 and taught first and second grade. Despite not being an active part of the school today, she is an integral part of the overall functioning and remains its executive director. Amy also served as the President for Stanton Street, a website-building company founded by her husband O'Rourke, from 2013 until 2017. She also worked with Centro de Salu Familiar La Fe, a nonprofit organization, for seven years to give back to the society. She decided to leave Stanton Street to spend more time supporting her husband across his campaigns.
She grew in prominence owing to her relationship with the Democratic congressman Beto O'Rourke. She accompanied him on his campaign trails and encouraged his decision to run for the senate after Trump was elected as the president. In videos, broadcasts, and photographs of O'Rourke's campaigns, Amy is seen standing by him and answering questions fairly. She is loved by the media and the community for her down-to-earth attitude and honestly. Apart from supporting her husband, Amy makes it a point to be an active part of her community. She holds the position of the director for La Fe Community Development Corporation.
Born into a wealthy and influential family in Texas, Amy Hoovers Sanders was a recognized figure at an early age. She is the daughter of Louann and Willian Sanders of El Paso. Her father is real-estate tycoon, and her grandfather, Ricke Harlan Feuille, was a popular figure in Mexico City.
She started dating her future husband, Beto O'Rourke, in 2003 and mentioned that she went to the Kentucky Club for their first date. They married in September 2005 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They have three children: Ulysses, Molly and Henry and remain happily married to each other. She is seen actively supporting her husband across his campaigns. The couple currently live in El Paso, not far far where O'Rourke grew up. Their children attend the same schools that Beto did.
Amy and O'Rourke were spotted by a TV crew on their first date. The crew insisted the duo kiss on camera for a commercial, but Beto waved them off saying that Amy was his sister.
The couple named their first child, Ulysses, after their favorite book of the same name by James Joyce.

Blame it all on Ice-T. Twenty-eight years ago, at the very start of a professional relationship that has evolved into a beautiful friendship, the prolific rapper/actor/multimedia-multihyphenate made it clear to manager Jorge Hinojosa: If they were going to understand each other, Hinojosa would have to understand Iceberg Slim.
"I started to read Iceberg Slim in high school," Ice-T said. "His whole persona made up my character – the way I had my hair permed, and my mannerisms. Everybody has an influential person in their life, and I just picked up this cat because he was the coolest in the world."
So Hinojosa borrowed Ice-T's well-worn copy of Pimp: The Story of My Life, Iceberg Slim's breakthrough autobiography. And, as he recalls, his mind was blown.
"I started to read Iceberg Slim in high school," Ice-T said. "Everybody has an influential person in their life, and I just picked up this cat because he was the coolest in the world."
"Iceberg's writing was brutal and gritty — and at the same time beautifully poetic and lyrical," Hinojosa says. "Iceberg bared his soul and exposed himself to be a cross between Mark Twain and Hannibal Lecter —brilliant, captivating and very dangerous.
"The world he exposed me to in his book Pimp was cruel, tragic, oppressive, fascinating. And it was also the reality of the inner cities across America."
Hinojosa achieves the same level of unvarnished honesty in Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp, his mutilayered documentary about a multifaceted icon. It's a labor-of-love effort that nonetheless offers a warts-and-all evaluation of its subject.
And, not incidentally, it's a portrait that earned a thumb's up from one of Slim's biggest fans: Ice-T (who just happens to be one of the film's executive producers).
For the benefit of those, like Hinojosa, who tuned in late: Iceberg Slim (real name: Robert Beck) spent his early days as a petty criminal, drug addict and badass pimp, drifting in and out of prison until hitting rock bottom in the early '60s during a lengthy stint in solitary confinement.
He managed to turn his life around only when he began to draw upon his brutal and brutalizing experiences to author works —including Pimp, Trick Baby, Mama Black Widow and The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim — that have been favorably compared with the literature of Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin and other chroniclers of the African-American experience.
Slim's checkered past "gnawed at him," Hinojosa says. At the same time, however, "it was the fuel and inspiration for his books. It allowed him to expunge or confess who he was and what he saw and felt. His natural talent, which had no formal training, was the key to his transformation. It was also the inspiration for Ice-T and the millions of readers that have been rapt by his books. All of this played into what [my] movie explores and expresses."
"After finishing the last book, I realized that Iceberg's writing had taken its toll on my outlook on life. I had become more suspicious and looked for the 'game' in everything," Hinojosa says.
Throughout his Portrait, Hinojosa notes how Iceberg Slim was shaped by corrupting influences, including a treacherous mom, who coldly betrayed the one man Slim ever viewed as a father figure. But very much like Slim himself did in his writing, the movie stops well short of making excuses or rationalizations.
Indeed, Portrait repeatedly emphasizes that although Pimp: The Story of My Life has been widely misinterpreted (more often than not, by its most fervent fans) as a celebration of thug life, Slim, who died in 1992, always claimed he wrote his autobiography as a cautionary fable about what he described as "my ghastly life."
What lessons did Hinojosa take from reading Pimp and Slim's other books?
"After finishing the last book," Hinojosa says, "I realized that Iceberg's writing had taken its toll on my outlook on life. I had become more suspicious and looked for the 'game' in everything.
"Ice, being older than me, had not so unwittingly educated me on what I needed to know if I was going to be his manager. And for the last 28 years, I have put [that knowledge] to good use. I have been the guy that has been there since the beginning making sure his rap career was handled correctly, transitioning with him through all of his many creative endeavors -- rock musician, author, actor, public speaker and director.
"This has been a role I have thoroughly enjoyed, and has defined me more than anything else."
3 adoptable Austin Pets Alive! senior dogs get portraits and support from JCPenney
Britny Eubank, KVUE
Belen, Ollie, and Fotis had their portraits taken as part of JCPenney's partnership with 10 U.S. animal shelters.
JCPenney is hoping to help senior dogs across the country find their forever homes. The company is partnering with 10 pet shelters across America to help older dogs by capturing photo sessions at JCPenney Portraits by Lifetouch.
"As a brand focused on supporting families on every occasion, we care about the memories our customers create with their furry family members too," said Bill Cunningham, vice president of marketing strategy at JCPenney. "We're excited to give the senior dogs in these shelters, who are often less likely to be adopted, their chance to shine and encourage customers to get involved with their local communities to change a pet's life for the better."
Among the featured pups are three senior dogs from Austin Pets Alive! (APA). The first featured APA! dog, Belen, is a 7-year-old boxer mix who likes to hike and make funny noises. Then there is Ollie, a 4-year-old American bulldog mix who loves watching movies. And last but not least is Fotis, a 6-year-old German Shepherd who loves kids.
"We're grateful for community partners taking initiatives like that of JCPenney's 'Pet Portraits,'" said Sarah Collica, director of marketing and communications at APA!. "The company's invitation to offer exposure of some of our senior population to their audience is so generous. We are honored and proud to be supported by a community that cares so deeply for pets in need."

Doctors at Dartmouth Medical School find a "net transfer of organs from rural donors to urban recipients."
Rural Americans are less likely to be put on waiting lists for liver, kidney and heart transplants — and they are less likely to receive those transplants, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
There is, in fact, a rather grisly and unequal exchange taking place, Dr. David Axelrod and his co-authors write, as organs taken from deceased rural residents "are mainly transplanted at large urban centers, which leads to a net transfer of organs from rural donors to urban recipients."
Previous research on transplants had shown "significant barriers" to access to transplant services for racial minorities, women and poor patients. Now, according to the lead author, Dr. David Axelrod, "rural patients with end-stage organ failure may be particularly affected" by the concentration of transplant services in large cities. "For these patients," the JAMA article said, "lack of access may result in premature or avoidable death."
The study was based on those placed on the registry of transplant recipients between 1999 and 2004. Patients entered their zip codes, which researchers used to find patients living in urban, small town and rural areas. By the study's definition, 14 percent of the US population lives in rural America.
Dr. Axelrod and his co-authors then checked to see if the number of those wait-listed and those who received transplants reflected the total population of these three areas. They didn't. Urban residents were significantly more likely to be placed on the waiting list and to receive transplants than those living in small towns or rural areas.
Previous studies have found that the process of doctor referrals, tests and evaluations tended to exclude African-Americans, women and poor patients disproportionately. There have been efforts to rectify these disparities, but nothing is being done currently to reduce the barriers to care faced by rural patients.
As transplant facilities continue to concentrate in larger urban areas, the authors warned the rural/urban disparity could continue to grow.

Le traité de Titalia est un traité signé entre le Chogyal du royaume du Sikkim, et la Compagnie britannique des Indes orientales (ou East India Company (EIC)), en 1817.

Le traité, qui a été négocié par le capitaine Barre Latter, en , garantit la sécurité du Sikkim par les Britanniques, et rend les terres sikkimaises annexées par les Népalais au cours des siècles. Il suit la guerre anglo-népalaise (1814-1816) et le traité de Sugauli en 1816. En retour, les Britanniques obtiennent des droits d'échanges commerciaux et de passage jusqu'à la frontière tibétaine. Le traité est signé à Titalia, à présent connu sous le nom de Tetulia Upazila, dans le district Rangpour de l'actuel Bangladesh. Dans la gazette du Sikkim, en 1894, , écrit que  (Par le traité de Titalia, l'Inde britannique a assumé la position du seigneur suprême du Sikkim, et le titre d'exercer une influence prédominante dans cet État est resté indiscuté.).

Conséquences

Kinzinger still backs Trump, despite disliking 'things he's saying'
By Gregory Pratt
October 03, 2019 at 4:09 pm CDT
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Shaw Media)
Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger said Thursday he still supports President Donald Trump despite his criticism of the president's inflammatory rhetoric earlier this week as "beyond repugnant."
"The president and I have a good relationship," said Kinzinger, who has often been critical of Trump's rhetoric. "This is what people don't understand. We actually get along well, we respect each other. When we disagree, we tell each other that."
Kinzinger, speaking to reporters before a congressional hearing on crime at Kennedy-King College in the South Side Englewood neighborhood, also said he didn't take offense about being the lone Illinois Republican member of Congress left off the state's leadership team for Trump's reelection effort.
"I wasn't asked, it's fine," said Kinzinger, who's from Channahon and represents a far west and southwest suburban district "I don't think it's a decision probably that the president made, probably his political operatives."
Earlier this week, Kinzinger received national attention for rebuking a comment that Trump retweeted from the Rev. Robert Jeffress, of the Southern Baptist megachurch First Baptist Dallas. Jeffress tweeted: "If the Democrats are successful in removing the president from office, it will cause a civil war like fracture in this nation from which our country will never heal."
Kinzinger, a former Air Force pilot, responded on Twitter: "I have visited nations ravaged by civil war. … I have never imagined such a quote to be repeated by a President. This is beyond repugnant."
On Thursday, Kinzinger said he has "no regrets" about his tweet.
"Some people maybe took that tweet and jumped to this idea that I support impeachment. I don't. I just didn't think the president should be tweeting about civil war. I think that, as a guy that's seen war and also has been to significantly war-torn places, it's not something (that) anybody should dip a toe in. Even a congressman or city councilman or anybody."
Kinzinger has been an enigma among Illinois Republicans, first elected in 2010 amid part of the tea party wave of conservatives. But the 41-year-old congressman has also tried to set himself as an independent in the district and has been frequently interviewed on TV over his criticism of Trump's rhetoric.
Kinzinger on Thursday also weighed in on Trump's accusation that Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who's chairs the House intelligence committee and is a key figure in the House impeachment inquiry, may have committed treason with remarks regarding the president's controversial phone call with the leader of Ukraine.
"We're going to have over the next few months a lot of people on both sides including the president saying things they shouldn't say," Kinzinger said.
But he also pointed out that there are "a lot of Democrats accusing the president of treason."
"What I said at the beginning is everybody's going to be saying a lot of stupid stuff and we need to understand that and they need to not say it," Kinzinger said.
He also disagreed with Trump's remarks about the whistleblower and how he got information about the president's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Trump reportedly said: "You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart with spies and treason, right? We used to handle it a little differently than we do now."
"Yeah, that's, no, I would not say that," Kinzinger said. "I think it's inappropriate to say anything along those lines, like 'what we did in the old days.' "
When a reporter started to ask about other Trump statements, Kinzinger said:
"We could just go down the whole list of Trump tweets. I've made it clear that there are things I don't like that he's saying. That does not make this impeachment inquiry correct. It also doesn't mean that I have to every time he tweets, because he tweeted 18 times on Sunday, that I have to respond to every one. I'm not going to do that. But if there's something like the thing that says civil war, that I don't agree with, then I'm going to say that."
In response to a question about Trump's angry outburst during a news conference with the president of Finland on Wednesday, he also said, "I wouldn't have acted like that. I don't like – I want somebody to act more presidential."
In a missive to Illinois Republicans, the Trump campaign named U.S. Reps. Darin LaHood of Peoria, John Shimkus of Collinsville, Rodney Davis of Taylorville and Mike Bost of Murphysboro as "honorary state chairs" for the president's reelection campaign.

Pastons a big factor in Blofield History Day
Mon, 06/11/2017 - 11:10am | timlenton
A huge amount of information on the history of the village was put on show at the Blofield History Day – and the Paston Heritage Society was invited to contribute to it as part of our 600PastonFootprints project.
Peter Stibbons, Rob Knee and Blofield organiser David Pilch
Two Edward Pastons, one 1550-1630 and the other his great-grandson (1660-1713), are commemorated in Blofield Church, together with their wives, Margaret Berney and Margaret Eyre. The latter has a poem praising her by poet laureate John Dryden, carved on the chancel floor.
There are also memorials to Clement of Barningham (father of the second Edward) and the mysterious Col John Paston, who is believed to be the first Edward's son.
PHS re-enactors demonstrated calligraphy, dyeing and medieval toys, among other things, to an ever-eager audience, many of them children, and were able to link with herbalists who were showing their skills in the main body of the church. PHS chairman Rob Knee, with his wife Penny, was able to establish good contacts for future projects at Blofield, and Peter Stibbons showed his PHS projects video on a loop. He also made a video of the day itself, which can be seen here.
Calligraphy being explained by re-enactor Diana George
Two medieval wise women in consultation
Tim Lenton (with the help of Lucy Care) also put together a leaflet, Who are these Pastons, and why are they here?, which placed the Blofield Pastons in the context of the family as a whole, and these were given away free. A number were left in the church for future visitors.

Living the Dream at Southwestern College by Sylvan Schneider

Living the dream: what it's like being a dude at Southwestern College
By Sylvan Schneider, a Southwestern College graduate
Hey dudes and dudettes–this blog goes out to everyone who's wondering what it's like being a bro at Southwestern College. I spent four years searching over every master's degree in counseling and psychology, as well as every Psy.D. program in psychology in the country. With that being said, Southwestern College was the only school for me, as well as the only school I applied to. I can honestly say that after starting the counseling program in September of 2013, there's nowhere else I would rather have been in entire world studying counseling!
I wanted a program with which I could eventually have a private practice and be a counselor, with all the classes I would need to be licensed. I also wanted a school that was holistic and cutting edge in its approach to transforming students into counselors. Plus, I was searching for a community of teachers and students working together, both in the classroom and on campus to create a caring, open minded, welcoming, and fun environment to be part of and learn in. I found not only everything I was looking for, but so much more.
I felt at home at Southwestern College, and more comfortable studying there than anywhere else I could imagine. There is an abundance of wilderness, mountains, and vast landscapes to explore in Santa Fe. As well, this city is a melting pot for cultural diversity, the arts, visual beauty, and openness, to name a few of Santa Fe's highlights. I feel a nurturing, comforting, soothing, and creative energy here with the pinkish orange and tan landscapes bathed in breathtaking violet sunsets. Santa Fe, for me, is a landscape embodiment of the archetypal mother that I've longed to find. Being a sensitive, half Jewish heavy metal musician with a love for spirituality, nature, self-improvement, counseling, psychology, higher levels of awareness, coffee, and Chihuahuas, I always felt like I was from "The land of misfit toys" in all my other academic and living environments. However, at Southwestern College I – for once – felt at home, welcome, and wholly accepted for who I am. For me it was better then a dream come true, it was living the dream. I came to this school after receiving my B.S. in Psychology from Montana State University, and later working as a Mental Health Worker at the Sheppard Pratt psychiatric hospital in Maryland.
Sometimes I was asked by other students "what is it like being one of about five other guys in a school of mostly female students?" I grew up with sisters and enjoy how there are not the stereotypical jock, macho man type of guys in class. Don't get me wrong, I have no beef with Al Bundy, but since sometimes classes are a lot like group therapy sessions where we shared deep feelings, experiences, personal thoughts, fears, epiphanies, etc., I actually prefer for Al Bundy not to be pointing at me and chuckling from across the class room. Then again, Al Bundy was a shoe salesman and wouldn't be a counselor, let alone seek out a transformational counseling master's degree school. The other few male students at Southwestern College were great guys, and were a pleasure to be in class with. It takes a certain kind of person to be a student who is open about sharing feelings in class, willing to put in the work to heal themselves from personal past trauma, and to learn how to become a healing presence and therapist in an experiential, transformational learning environment. If you're that type of dude or dudette this school is for you.
Woo Woo's and Hoo Doo's… I will be the first to tell you that this is a fully accredited counseling and art therapy/counseling master's degree school that is 100% legit with every class you need to be a licensed counselor and/or art therapist, including psychopathology, human development, addictions, etc. However, for elective credits you can go out to Death Valley National Park as a class and do a vision quest for 10 days, or take a class on Native American spirituality. There's even a class on shamanic altars. If you're saying "Ummm, dude that's way too new age and 'woo woo' for me," know that this school is indeed 'woo woo' and New-Age friendly, but is 100% accredited with rigorously transformational coursework. Plus, there are also many electives on topics such as infant mental health, grief loss and trauma, psychodrama, human sexuality, and much more. If you're interested in counseling and/or art therapy, the elective classes here will cover just about any related interest. In fact, there are so many cool classes sometimes I can't decide which ones I want to take. All in all, this is an open minded, accepting, non-judgmental school that offers classes that are available nowhere else in the country, with a wide variety of classes to cover both the clinical requirements for licensure, and a student's personal interests in various areas of the field.
Maybe you're thinking "Ok, Sylvan, well it's sort of stereotypical of you being a sensitive, half-Jewish guy, to go out to the desert in search of enlightenment to study counseling." (I may even agree with you on that (chuckling).) However what's not stereotypical of me is being in my bathtub on my 30th birthday in September just after I started the program, crying because I was (and still am) so incredibly happy to be in Santa Fe. I am now a graduate of Southwestern College, turning my dreams into reality.

NFL Admits Mistake With Husain Abdullah Penalty
by Phoenix A. Desertsong, The Prose Machine
Image via Pixabay; Public Domain
You see that thing about the Chiefs player, safety Husain Abdullah, getting a 15-yard "un-sportsman-like conduct" penalty for his prayer in the end zone? Like, what the eff? Seriously, refs? Abdullah is well known to be a devout Muslim, and he had indeed before promised that if he ever picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown, he would "prostrate before God in the end zone."
To be honest, the penalty probably only happened because it was a Monday Night Football game. Because you know, we don't have religious freedom in America. And the media and referees love the New England Patriots and didn't want the almighty Pats being shown up. I'm a Patriots fan and I was perfectly okay with Abdullah keeping his promise to his Lord.
The NFL doesn't need any more controversy. He did something perfectly OK with me. It's not like he did anything negative. The NFL didn't fine him or anything. It was an in-game "un-sportsman-like conduct" call, just a 15 yard penalty assessed on the kickoff. But it's the very concept behind calling it. For years, you've seen players praise God after great plays. This is no different.
Actually, thankfully, the NFL did respond the right way to the incident. This is what NFL spokesman Michael Signora had to say.
"Husain Abdullah should not have been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct following his fourth quarter touchdown," Signora said in an email to USA Today.
"Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 (d) states 'players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations or demonstrations while on the ground.' However, the officiating mechanic in this situation is not to flag a player who goes to the ground as part of religious expression, and as a result, there should have been no penalty on the play.""
There is, in fact, a rule that outlaws players going to the ground during touchdown celebrations. But over the years, plenty of Christian players have gone to the ground, and very few, if any, have ever been penalized. The most recent example of a player doing so, of course, was quarterback Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow is well-known as a "missionary" football player. He might not be quite as demonstrative as Mr. Abdullah was. But the intent is the same. One thing I can say for Tim Tebow. He practices what he preaches. He's a really good guy. He may not have played up to his potential in the National Football League, but he's a good positive influence in a lot of lives. Tim's a good human being, and his faith is his faith. It works for him, holds him accountable to his actions and he praises God for every opportunity that he's had. That's admirable, far as I'm concerned.
But Tebow is admittedly a bit of a "missionary." More than a bit, actually. Abdullah wasn't doing that. He was just very grateful to pick off one of the best Quarter Backs in the history of the game of American Football. He said he would do this, and it's as if the referees were told to watch for it, and punish him for doing something that the United State Constitution protects his right to do. The excessive celebration penalty, an extension of the un-sportsman like penalty, was meant to cut down on players being cocky shits. But instead of being a cocky shit, Abdullah did the exact opposite. He actually humbled himself before his lord. If anything, that should be praised, not condemned. It seems the penalty was only called because he was a Muslim, and oh boy, that looks bad.
The officials should be ashamed of themselves. Obviously, a lot of people agree with me, and the NFL did indeed release a statement saying that it was a stupid penalty call. The penalty didn't affect the game, of course. The Chiefs destroyed the New England Patriots 41-14. But it shows a sort of political correctness that should not be applied to an American pastime. It seems like such a little thing, but it's the intention behind the call that worries me. I understand that Muslims are an extremely misunderstood group of people. But people like Abdullah, who demonstrate the best of his religion, should be praised.
Bless you, Husain Abdullah. I'm sure your entire team is behind you. Keep it up. Returning interceptions for touchdowns and prostrating before God. I'm sure the Chiefs will take the pick-six every time. Just don't pick off poor Brady again, please.
At least the NFL responded correctly this time. Don't let it happen again.

Yankees Claim Eury Perez
by Richard Rowell, Sports Break
The Washington Nationals decided to give up on outfield prospect Eury Perez by putting him up on waivers following their acquisition of light-hitting shortstop Pedro Florimon from the Twins. The Nationals felt they needed the infield depth and were willing to let Perez be taken. The Yankees were happy to oblige. I don't like this move at all for the Nationals, who are getting a shortstop whose bat is atrocious and his defense, while okay, does not make up for the lack of offense.
This deal looks good for the Yankees, however. New York is getting a young outfielder with great speed. He's batted over .300 in each of the past 3 minor league seasons. He also has plenty of speed, steailng 63 bases across 3 seasons in Triple-A. His walk rate has never been good and his power never really developed. While the Yankees expect to bring back their full starting outfielder of Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Carlos Beltran next season, Perez looks like a decent fourth outfielder option with speed. He'll probably spell Beltran in a good number of games next year and be a valuable pinch runner.
So far in the Major Leagues, Perez has only had 13 at-bats spread out across 22 games over two seasons. Now being 24 years old, the Nationals decided he was expendable. Perhaps he was. But essentially trading Pedro Florimon for Eury Perez doesn't make any sense to me. In any case, the Yankees lose nothing here, especially considering that defensively Perez is supposed to be very good. The Yankees did have to let go Josh Outman, but that's a minor loss considering the upside of Perez. Good, solid move by the Yankees; it seems they've been doing very well in picking up these guys that other organizations have given up on.
Perez will probably get into a few games for the Yankees in the final few games of 2014. There's certainly no harm in seeing what he can do.

Google amazes me. I am so impressed with their "special day" icons, and that the days honor people who aren't routinely known names, yet their work is. The lucky person who gets to research and create these icons. I so want that job!
The job(s) I have now are keeping me busy. There has been more architectural work coming my way (thankfully, because that pays the bills) and I have become the children's director at my church which is, for the most part, quite enjoyable. But the other two jobs I have are suffering from neglect. The first is keeping house. You don't even want to go there (I should say "come here" because it is a mess!). My concern is that I don't care. Not enough to bend down and pick up that stupid piece of paper which has been lying there for 5 days! The other is art. I made a promise to myself that I would create daily and I have broken that promise. And I do care about that!
The weekend is here and here is my challenge to myself. Take this line drawing and make something of it. And maybe, do some laundry.
See you Monday with the results!
Flickers, Houses, and Cad, oh my!
And this is the reason I haven't posted for a long time!
Here is a watercolour and ink drawing of a flicker I did last night (and some today) to re-acquaint myself with my right brain.
I had the opportunity to forage into the past earlier this week. The town of Eatonton, Georgia owns several (maybe 15 circa 1900-1920 +/-) mill houses and they are trying to sell them en mass to be restored in place (with some grant money) or to be moved to another location. The houses are as they were when the last inhabitants moved out maybe 20 years ago. Most people think they should be razed, I think they are worthy of saving. I don't know if they will be used for the reason the trip was made, but if they don't, and you should want one, please let me know. I will put you in touch with the right person.
I know, I know, entice may not be the right word considering their present condition… but these houses have great proportions, heartpine flooring and beadboard ceilings.
The Campaign for Wool was found linked through Selvedge Magazine and has a gallery of pictures from which the above was taken. Have you ever in your life seen such cute creatures?
It was enough for me to pull out a photo of a sheep and do a watercolor/pen and ink drawing! But the sheep is more deserving of a wool tapestry. Some day.
Forgive me for the title of this post. Sometimes you just cannot resist.
I have had other responsibilities of late and haven't had as much time to devote to artwork, but I do have another watercolor with ink lines and a little pastel thrown in to share. I like doing these. It's so much fun to scribble!
My watercolor needed punch so I added pastel and ink. I am not the purist I use to be. Compare this to my thread painting here. I think I like the tread painting more. The thread painting sold, which I am very happy about, but it may also be the first time I really miss something I created.
a Picasso dog following her draw, turn 90 degrees, draw, turn 90 degrees…. then color.
Blind contour, then embellishing the linework and colored, of my nephew, Daniel. He, his mother and I had a great evening playing with these techniques.
Blind contour of Daniel's dog. I love the line that is created in this. It may be my favorite.
a contour drawing (this time I looked) of a woman from an old photograph. This time, I did not pick up the pen but tried to make the drawing one continuous line. That is actually the case for all these but I admit, I sometimes picked up my pen and then when I was finished, I was guilty of going back into the drawing and adding and adjusting. But, hey, it is for fun! I can break rules all I like!
Miss Marple, done from putting the dvd on pause…. I loved this Miss Marple, sorry she isn't making them anymore.
This is the way most of the contour drawings looked before I went back into them with line variations and color. It is a little difficult to worry about proportion and perspective when you don't pick up your pen from the paper. I like the whimsy of these drawings. Especially since I am usually so tight and precise with architecture considering my background….
Bird and nest! No pussycats as yet. These last two were developed into free motion machine embroidery. I spent a little more time on them watching where my pen was (but still trying not to pick it up) in relationship to the image I was drawing. These really do develop your drawing skills. But enough scans for the day! I will show you the embroidery later.
It's been a doodling kind of weekend. More Zentangle patterns (both copied and inspired) done in my sketchbook, around a bird that turned out too dark.
Doodling can be all consuming… I might just have to go fill those other pages with birds on them!

What stories are told about teaching and learning on TV and in film? And how do these stories reflect, refract and construct myths, anxieties and pleasures about teaching and learning? This collection looks at how pedagogy is represented on screen, and how TV programs and films translate pedagogic ideas into stories and relationships. International in scope, with case studies and analysis from the UK, US, Australia, Turkey and Brazil-the book adopts a critical stance in relation to the ways in which theories of learning and myths about education are mobilized on screen. Teaching and Learning on Screen: Mediated Pedagogies provides a stimulating addition to the field of media and cultural studies, while also promoting debate about particular pedagogic models and strategies that will contribute to the professional development of educators and those involved in teacher education.
Mark Readman is Principal Academic in Media Education at Bournemouth University, UK, where he teaches reflective practice at Masters and Doctoral level on professionally oriented programs. His research and publications include work on the rhetorics of creativity, screenwriting, and the generation of knowledge through practice.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him.
But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.
Like most people, I thrive in the light. But I live in a part of the country where winter is a very real thing. It's dark and it's cold, and it can affect my mood. Friends and siblings who live in sunnier parts of the country scoff at those of us willing to put up with the cold of winter. But I have no desire to move to a sunnier climate. For me, without winter, there is no joy in spring.
The timing of today's Gospel is a gift from our Church: just when our nights are long, and shadows seem to have fallen over our country, we are reminded that darkness cannot overcome the light of God. Through his incarnation, Christ brought light and life and knowledge of the Father!
As we begin a new year, how can we let go of the darkness in our lives to fully embrace the light God offers? How can we bring light and the "joy of spring" to others?
—Therese Fink Meyerhoff is the director of communications for the USA Central and Southern Province of the Society of Jesus.
Loving God, bring us light in the darkness, peace in the turbulence. And may we be the bearers of your light to others. Amen.
Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the festival. When the festival was ended and they started to return, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.
Assuming that he was in the group of travelers, they went a day's journey. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety." He said to them, "Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he said to them. Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor.
In the Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius invites us to use our imagination to experience a Gospel passage. Christmas is great for this! Pregnant Mary and Joseph rejected at the inn, a scene that has become 'Posadas' in Hispanic Catholic culture. Imagine the flight into Egypt of the Holy Family, a paradigm for violence-fleeing families today. How was Jesus's family life? The Spirit will move our hearts in our sincere prayer.
Jesus increased in wisdom and in years with the love of Joseph and Mary. Many suffer from an absent father. Quality family time and presence is so crucial!
We must also care for each other since, as John reminds us, we are all God's children – brothers and sisters in Christ. Many suffer today from the absence of the Kingdom family, due to individualism and one's own created busyness. Do I responsibly care beyond my blood family? How? Am I seeing well?
Loving God, thank you for bringing the Christ into the world in such a humble way: A family with much love but little material goods. Help me to see better and love my family, the Kingdom family, especially those rejected by society.
As the new year 2019 approaches, take time this weekend to flip through your 2018 calendar. Where over the last 12 months was God's grace strong in your personal life? How was God's grace active and alive within your family? What personal life experiences do you especially treasure from this past year? How will they influence the way you begin this new year of grace and possibility?
For all that has been, thank you. For all that is to come, yes!
The Feast of St. John has so many intellectual roadblocks for me. Partially, it's the mystery around its celebration on the third day of Christmas. Celebrating the Holy Family and the Holy Innocents makes sense, but John, why? The selected Gospel confuses me even more. Why did the evangelist appropriate Mary Magdalene's place in being the first to believe in the resurrection? And why a reading about the Resurrection when it's Christmas?!?
St. Ignatius's words get me out of my head. When I do, this reading becomes simple. A man sees the truth and the living Jesus becomes alive in him. Jesus is born again in John. When did you first know the resurrected Jesus personally? Remember that moment and let it fill your soul again with Christmas joy.
The quiet touch of a beloved friend.
And Lazarus himself back from the dead!
And Nicodemus offered a new birth.
Come close with John, and feel the pulse of Love.
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us." So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
Advent was a busy season of preparation. Cooking, baking, wrapping presents and writing cards have exhausted me. Preparing can be exhausting. Not everything has gone exactly as I had planned or would have liked it to play out. But Jesus' birth has arrived; ready or not, it's Christmas!
Mary and Joseph did not have everything go according to their plan. They couldn't have imagined that the birth of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with Us, would be in a manger. They couldn't have imagined that their visitors would include stranger-shepherd, that none of their family would be with them. They were exhausted from a journey, but God still came in their exhaustion.
What joy they must have felt, the birth of their child. And also, the joy of having others share in their joy and truth – that the Messiah and Christ, God who is Love, has been born into the world. When others may have doubted, these shepherds, complete strangers, come to support them and praise God with them, sharing the good news of Jesus' birth even if others may be confused and doubtful.
Jesus, help me to have a loving heart like your mother, welcoming others and reflecting on the events of your life. Help me to hold the events of today and this Christmas season in my heart; to see your face in those I love and those who have loved and supported me; to see your face in strangers who are seeking your love, mercy, and justice. May I always see your face and entrance into my life, especially in those moments I would not have expected. Amen.
But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan: Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: Are you the one to build me a house to live in? Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep to be prince over my people Israel; and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may live in their own place, and be disturbed no more; and evildoers shall afflict them no more, as formerly, from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house.
When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. When he commits iniquity, I will punish him with a rod such as mortals use, with blows inflicted by human beings.Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me; your throne shall be established forever.
This passage beautifully captures the love of God that Jesus emphasizes throughout his ministry. God continually finds us within a flock of many. Though we may be one individual from a large flock, God raises and empowers each individual to a situation and place made specifically to shine on the gifts, personality and experience that the world needs.
Loving God, we know that you have given us all things, and all that we have is a gift from you. Help us to use these gifts and talents to further build up your kingdom here on earth. Amen.
When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. She brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh; and the child was young. Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli.
And she said, "Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord. For this child I prayed; and the Lord has granted me the petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord." She left him there for the Lord.
Your ways, O Lord, make known to me: teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.
Good and upright is the Lord: thus he shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble to justice; he teaches the humble his way.
