Hey Jessie,
Sounds great. Maybe we can set something up for this weekend. Let me know what would be a good day, time, and court location, and we can take it from there.
Well, this weekend's already getting too crazy - and I'm stuck at home
cause there's work being done on my house. Tomorrow's a big hike.
Do you work all day on Mon - Fri? Cause I work part time & could
meet you. Thanks for your email. Jessie Ortiz

BUSINESSWOMAN Mel Taylor rose to become a manager for pharmaceutical company Abbott Laboratories before having children.
But after having her two boys, now six and nine, she struggled to find something that would fit in with family life, until a friend suggested she could change careers.
She had spent 15 years at Abbott, becoming product quality assurance manager and then incoming operations manager, responsible for all incoming materials used in the manufacturing process.
When the company moved from Abingdon to Witney, Mrs Taylor took redundancy and used the money to set up her own photography business at her home in Letcombe Regis.
Mrs Taylor, 49, said: "Photography has always been a passion of mine and I started going on courses. I set up a studio at home in a bedroom and did a lot of training."
The popularity of DIY photography has made life tough for studio photographers, but she built up her business by dedicating herself to improving her skills. She added: "Now I have a viewing room where clients can see the products. The boys are older and I have more time to spend on the business."
With the encouragement of a mentor, Martin Grahame-Dunn, she started entering competitions, becoming a finalist in one set of awards, resulting in her image being shown at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
She was also third in the 'natural world' section of the Photographer of the Year awards, followed by gold awards from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.
Her latest inspiration has been baby photographer Karen Wiltshire, who trained her in the specialist skills required to picture newborns.
"I met her at a workshop and she has been an inspiration," Mrs Taylor said. "I had done baby photography before, but I hadn't had formal training. Some of the techniques are the same as for other photography, but the skill lies in handling and posing the babies."
Since then, parents have been travelling to her Letcombe Regis studio for a session, which can last two to four hours.
"Babies need a lot of looking after, so you have to wait for the right moment," she said.
"The best age is within the first week because they are sleepiest then, and they are more flexible. After that, it's harder to get them into position."
Her venture into newborn territory has been so successful she is now looking at adding an outbuilding as a new studio.
"I feel the business is growing well enough to be able to expand," she said.

2013 hyundai santa-fe Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
Not to be confused with the similarly styled but smaller Santa Fe Sport, the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe is the three-row crossover of the lineup. The Santa Fe was redesigned for 2013, replacing the Veracruz as Hyundai's largest CUV.
The new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in two trim levels, each powered by a 3.3-liter V-6 making 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque. That engine is mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission, which routes power to the front or all four wheels when all-wheel drive is specified. In front-drive trim, the Santa Fe is EPA-rated at 18/25 mpg city/highway. All-wheel-drive Santa Fe crossovers are rated 18/24 mpg.
The Santa Fe's V-6 provides enough thrust, though transmission shift logic could be better. We said in our First Drive, "Hyundai's V-6 never wanted for power. During aggressive driving, the transmission now and then seemed unsure of what gear it wanted to grab, but for the most part, it performed well." We also found the interior to be well done, saying, "The chairs slide and recline, providing 41.3 inches of legroom — nearly as much as the front seats — and are incredibly comfortable, with nice bolstering and seat cushion."
Inside the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe's cabin, you'll also find standard seven-passenger seating, cloth interior, Blue Link telematics system with Bluetooth connectivity, a power adjustable driver's seat, 60/40 split folding second row, 50/50 split folding third row, and six-speaker CD audio system with USB and auxiliary inputs and MP3 playback capability. The Limited trim receives second-row captain's chairs, which grants the up-level crossover six-passenger seating. Other available features include leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, passive keyless entry with push-button start, and a navigation system with 8.0-inch touch screen.
The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, which awarded the crossover scores of Good in every category except the new small overlap front test. The NHTSA has not yet rated the Santa Fe.
New for 2013
The Hyundai Santa Fe is new for 2013, redesigned with an edgier look, a 290-hp V-6, and standard three-row seating. A different Santa Fe Sport model is offered with a two-row seating configuration as well as two four-cylinder engines.

Europeans' Privacy will be big challenge in next decade, says EU Commissioner
Our privacy faces new challenges: behavioural advertising can use your internet history to better market products; social networking sites used by 41.7 million Europeans allow personal information like photos to be seen by others; and the 6 billion smart chips used today can trace your movements. The European Commission today – Data Protection Day – warned that data protection rules must be updated to keep abreast of technological change to ensure the right to privacy, legal certainty for industry, and the take-up of new technologies. EU rules say that a person's information can only be used on legitimate grounds, with their prior consent. With the Lisbon Treaty and the Charter of Fundamental Rights now in force, the Commission today said it wants to create a clear, modern set of rules for the whole EU guaranteeing a high level of personal data protection and privacy, starting with a reform of the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive.
"EU rules are there to protect everyone's personal data. The European Commission has proved its commitment to making these rules fully respected by all 27 EU countries. Innovation is important in today's society but should not go at the expense of people's fundamental right to privacy. Now we have to make sure that the general data protection rules are up-to-date with technology and as comprehensive the Lisbon Treaty requires," said Viviane Reding, the EU's Information Society and Media Commissioner. "EU rules should allow everyone to realise their right to know when their personal data can be lawfully processed, in any area of life, whether boarding a plane, opening a bank account or surfing the internet, and to say no to it whenever they want."
At today's 4 th annual Data Protection Day , the European Commission said that the measures it applied to internet technology are needed throughout the economy and society to protect Europeans' privacy and personal data.
To do this, Commissioner Reding announced that she will propose to modernise EU privacy rules, building on the general rules ( Data Protection Directive ) in place since 1995, and specific telecoms and internet rules ( e-Privacy rules ).
The improved rules would be vigorously applied across all policy areas and international agreements, be it new technologies, consumer rights or public security.
In 2009 the Commission took a number of initiatives to make sure that privacy keeps up with technology:
Privacy and the protection of personal data are human rights set out in Articles 7 & 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights .
The 1995 EU Data Protection Directive lays down general principles to harmonise national rules such as when personal data can be processed and rights of the people whose data is processed. They say that a person's consents for their data use must be freely given, specific and informed.
EC data protection website: http://ec.europa.eu/justice_home/fsj/privacy/
The 2002 EU Directive on privacy and electronic communications sets principles for the telecoms sector. It protects the confidentiality of communications, requiring EU countries to prohibit interception and surveillance without users' consent (Article 5(1)) or legal authorisation.
Viviane Reding video message on privacy:
The processing by EU institutions and bodies is covered by Data protection Regulation (EC) 45/2001 . The EU general framework for the protection of personal data in police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters is the Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA .
The Council of Europe set up Data Protection Day in 2007 to explain what personal data is collected and why, as well as people's rights and responsibilities.

Originally shown simultaneously in 300 cities to half a

In past years, the College
Choir traditionally had between
55 and 65 members. This year's
choir has been cut to 45 in

organization, and does not put
on "Worship Services" as such.
They do, however, perform sa-cred
music by the world's finest
composers. In the words of Dr.
Berglund, "The Lord is certain-ed
to offer "a nationally repre-sentative
forum for Evangelical
college students to speak on
issues relevant to the campus,
the Church, and the nation."
The flavor of the Congress is
suggested by the titles of five
committees making up part of
the congress framework: Cam-pus
Governance, Christian Wit-ness,
Educational Direction,
Domestic Concerns, and For-eign
The delegates will meet in
convention following their com-mittee
sessions to discuss pro-posals
and issue mandates for
action. A theoretical example
would be a communication to
President Nixon, regarding the
Congress stance on the Viet-nam
war. They will also hear
and consider "position papers,"
research compiled by certain
individual delegates. Collegiate,
local and national newsmen are
being invited to cover the pro-ceedings.
Is it worth it — to gather a
national conglomeration o f
Christian collegians and Bible
students for such a convention?
Elden Elseth, who attended
last year's initial meeting in
Spring Arbor, Michigan, says
yes. "The Congress really has
a lot of potential for Christian
students to express themselves
on national issues." Although
he admits that the Congress is
ly deserving of the very finest
in performance of music writ-ten
by the finest composers
the world has to offer."
"It is sincerely hoped though,"
said one choir member, "that
within this concert context
each person who attends wll be
touched by at least one of the
numbers in the choir's rep-etoire."
The major work of the choir
this year is a three-movement
composition by Heinz Werner
Zimmerman, world-famous Ger-
"a young thing and doesn't have
much national prestige yet, it
is getting there." Elden also
said he likes the idea of getting
to know kids from colleges with
similar philosophies. This year,
he will be serving as Chairman
of the Domestic Concerns Com-mittee.
Joey Healy, another Bethel
junior who attended last year's
Congress, found it a "really
profitable experience." Sharing
ideas with other schools and
getting to know other students
were some of the things she
appreciated about the Congress.
She also feels that it can be
a "valid expression of the cur-rent
trends in Christian edu-cation."
Besides Elden and Joey, new-ly

Forbearance, patience requested
in light of Post Office changes
by Joey Healy
Irvin Olson, Bethel's post-master,
explains the reason for
changes in our Post Office.
"This is due to a shift of our
mail delivery, from the main
Post Office to the Como Sta-tion.
In past years, we would
have been serviced from the
Como Station, but this was im-possible
due to inadequate fac-ilities.
Now, with a new build-ing,
they are handling our
"The U.S. Post Office is now
cutting costs by making as few
deliveries as possible. There-fore,
they have arranged this
schedule, delivering only once
a day.
"Due to this later delivery,
and because of a larger volume
in one delivery, it is necessary
to change our Post Office hours.
In order to give faster delivery
to the students and offices, we
must close the window com-pletely
when sorting the mail."
Until further notice, the win-dow
hours will be 8:00 to 10:30
a.m. and 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. This
is 45 minutes longer than pre-vious
window service.
A raise in mailing rates is
anticipated in the near future.
Although the main Post Office
has made no official statement
yet, rate increases are expect-ed
to go into effect May 15.
The proposed increases would
raise the cost of a first-class
letter to eight cents, a post
card to six cents, and an air-mail
letter to 11 cents. Third
class "junk mail" costs will
rise from three and eight tenths
cents to fiVe cents per item. Se-cond
class rates, used by news-papers
and magazines will sky-rocket
142 per cent over the
next five years.
The U.S. mail system has
been operating in the red for
some time now, and these cost
hikes are the absolute mini-mum
necessary to get the Post
Office into the black. Each
type of mail is now expected
to pay for itself, and those who
use mail service the most will
be paying the most.
The added revenues will be
used only to meet rising costs,
not to improve service. Can
the Postal System be run as a
profitable organization? It will
be long before any conclusive
evaluation can be made.
How will all this affect
Bethel's Post Office? If the Sat-urday
delivery is eliminated,
the greatly increased volume of
mail on Monday could necessi-tate
additional help. Also, mom
and dad may not get even their
monthly letter. And the after-chapel
rush will be a thing of
the past!
Olson's reaction to postal
changes is that "receiving the
mail at 10:30 instead of 8:30 and
only one delivery instead of
two is not an improvement in
mail service!
"Bear with us as we aim to
give you the quickest service

mailings to alumni.
"Draft" aired out on campus
by Dick Henry
Last Friday in the history
house, Mr. James Erickson, a
draft board member from the
Wabasha County board, spoke
to students about the draft sit-uation.
He didn't come to dis-cuss
the legality or morality
of the draft, but merely to pro-vide
information. Erickson said
that the function of the board,
"was to insure proper classifi-cation
and personal investiga-tion
of the registrants. The pur-pose
is to provide a pool of
men for the armed services,
the army, navy and marines.'

According to Mr. Erickson,
much of the tension about the

due to General Hershey's mis-management.
Now however, Dr.
Tarr provides good information
on the draft law and has taken
a lot of pressure off the draft
boards with the lottery and the
problems of classification.
Deferments have been can-celled

of the student deferments

Reactions from many students
have indicated that they will
be feeling a definite financial
pinch in the coming year. Sim-ilarly,
the financial aid office
reports that they too will feel
the economic squeeze.
James Bragg, director of ad-missions
and financial aid ex-plains
that his office "is anxi-ous
to do everything possible
to help bridge the gap between
a student's resources and his
college costs."
However, he emphasizes that
"the same economic pinch we
all feel in our personal budgets

of these applicants don't get

to apply at registration or as

With the melting snow and longer days, spring is once
again upon us. The time when a young man's fancy turns to love,
and we once more seek to warship Eastra, the goddess of Spring.
Nests are being prepared for the Easter Rabbit (symbolizing
fertility) to lay his beautiful eggs colored like the rays of the

Anyway, after it's all over, it's back to the salt mines to
await the next festival. I believe it's called Christmas.
Did you ever notice how much of our Christo-Americano
culture is really pagan? It seems like we status-quo Christians
like to tack "harmless native customs" on the total Truth of
Yahweh to make it less offensive. Or is it called less close-minded?
"Oh for Pete's Sake, it's harmless and besides, it's all
for the little ones' sake. Don't you want them to have any
fun? Besides, we don't want to get the little ones all bogged
down with church dogma and theology."
So we tell them lies. Then, when they grow up, we tell them
the truth and they laugh because they've long ago scrapped all
our "superstitious" nonsense. It's because of these "harmless"
little lies that so many people have such a warped sense of
the Truth and who Jesus Christ is. We have allowed a Baal-Yahweh
synthesis to take the place of a total Yahweh oriented society!
Elijah faced a similar situation (that is, if you can take the
Bible at face value) when he said, "How long halt ye between'
two opinions? If Yahweh be God, follow Him; but if Baal then
follow him." Do one or the other. Don't mix the truth with a
lie. And on that 450 Baal priests were killed. That's how sacred
the Truth of Yahweh. But that was another dispensation and
we don't do that now — Yahweh is more civilized now.
We don't raise our children in a society where the Word
of God puts life into it's proper perspective. Instead we try to
make religion more palatable to the children who we perceive
will not understand the Truth of Christ.
But my Bible tells me that it's the children who will
understand because they haven't been perverted by the world's
scepticism. Why do we pollute children's minds with an omnipre-sent
santa or an egg-laying rabbit?
Is it any wonder that youth are throwing out the church
and any semblance of Christianity?
What would happen if we gave these holidays back to the
heathens and pagans, and started worshipping the Lord God in
Truth and in Spirit in all areas of our life?

Last week's editorial empha-sis
on our introspective campus

spiritual immaturity has been
pointed out by the recent dis-cord
over life-style. Many seem
to have lost sight of the pri-mary
commandment to love.
This lack of love is evident
on campus in relations with
roommates, professors, and the
food service. It is also appar-ent
beyond the campus. What

So, the Student Senate has

for attending a school that

doctrinal beliefs. You say that
you should attend the school
and change the doctrine? Let's
consult the apostle Paul on
this idea — in Romans 12:18,
he writes: "Do everything pos-sible,
on your part, to livt at
peace with all men." Can you
honestly live peaceably with
everyone by attempting to
change the ideas and doctrines
of a 100 year institution?
Forgetting all that has been
argued about previously, let's
look at what Paul says in Ro-mans
14: 17, 19. He writes,
"For God's Kingdom is not a
matter of eating and drinking,
but of the righteousness and
peace and joy that the Holy
Spirit gives ...So then, we must
always aim at those things that
bring peace, and that help
strengthen one another."
Is bickering and dividing in-to
several groups of thought
aiming at "those things that
bring peace, and that help
strengthen one another?"
Let's concentrate totally on
transforming Bethel into the
Lord's Kingdom on earth and
on strengthening each other in-stead
of dividing into differ-ent
groups, bickering about
Bethel's doctrine!

Dan and Dave, writing songs
together last summer, talked
of continuing singing in the

was at North Branch,
Minnesota, where Dan took Jim
and Dave to back him up as
song leader by request. One

"every concert is a unique ex-perience,

possible to the audience." Al-though
primarily a church sing-ing
group, they sing anything
from secular folk rock to sacred
hymns. Program packages, of-ten
put together just minutes
before singing, draw from their
repertoire of 40-some songs,
many of which Dave has writ-ten.
As in any tightly-knit group,
there are four "leads." Dan
plays lead guitar (he also plays
keyboard and tuba); Dave is
chief lyricist, and Ron is lead
back-up man on guitar and
bass. Jim, who has a way of

Although Dan and Dave are

words of their personal en-counters

The first concerts were on

Bethel's varsity baseball team,
led by Coach Jack Trager and
captains Gary Clark and Steve
Hansen, optimistically prepare
for the 1971 season. They begin
with the six-team tournament
over Easter Vacation at Boca
Raton, Florida.
The tournament in Florida is
a part of the "Co-Uni-Bus Con-ference"
held for college and
university young people. Four-teen
Royal players will partici-pate
— four pitchers, one catch-er,
five infielders, and four out-fielders.
Six teams will compete in
the tournament April 4 - 10. The
teams are all from Christian
colleges, including Olivet Naza-rene,
Houghton, and Barrington.
A good number of new mem-bers
have joined the squad this
year. Only 13 out of the 33
players have competed for Beth-el
in the past, according to the
team. A strong nucleus still
exists, particularly on the
mound, with seniors Bob Brodin
and Lowell Richardson.
"Of course, we'll have to show
improvement in hitting," said
Coach Trager, which is his main
concern at this time. In the

Summary of Specific Recommendations
- Affordances
- Focus on features, actions, and interactions that can be represented visually, as opposed to actions or features that are hidden within non-visible menus. Users need to see what is possible just by glancing at your system.
- Read up on Gestalt principles of design (based on Gestalt psychology), to understand how the form and visual treatment of objects relates to user perception. Use physical icons (phicons) to bridge the tangible and digital worlds.
- Engagement
- Keep users in the flow by focusing on simple, quick, natural interactions. Emotional attachment that is created during fun, playful interactions with your application will transfer to how users feel about your brand long after using your system.
- Strive for good interaction aesthetics (how the interactions feel while accomplishing something over time); as opposed to visual aesthetics that mainly impact initial perceptions, interaction aesthetics are all about how your system feels while interacting with it.
- Feedback
- Feedback must be immediate, and easily noticeable by all concurrent users; use visual design rather than textual feedback.
- Leverage existing social behavior that people will naturally exhibit, such as verbal communication and simply being able to see what collaborating users are doing. Because of the natural social norms of users, you don't have to design for many potential conflicting user actions (for example, two users trying to play a song at the same time).
- Don't Make Us Think
- Try to minimize hidden functionality, except for contextual features that only make sense when revealed during specific interactions. All primary objects that can be interacted with should be visible so that users do not have to remember what is possible. A new user should be able to learn how to use your system just by watching others use it.
- Use a mix of phicons (physical icons) and digital objects to allow multiple concurrent users to easily see the complete state of the system.

Fernhill House opens its doors to home aloners on Christmas Day
Fernhill House has teamed up with a local church to open its doors on Christmas day to local elderly people who would otherwise be spending the day alone.
The home will be serving a five-course festive meal with wine to single and widowed over 65s living in the parish who are unable to spend the day with friends or family. The guests are residents from around Claines, Barbourne and Fernhill Heath, who the local clergy have met through their pastoral care.
The friendship room – a dining room specially designed for private events – will be open on December 25, with sherry or Bucks Fizz, Christmas carols and a warm welcome offered on arrival.
Award winning chef Chris Williams and his team will provide traditional Christmas fayre and silly crackers at 1pm. The Fernhill House team will chat to the visitors before escorting them to one of the home's sitting rooms to watch the Queen's Speech, play games and meet some of the home's residents. The idea was dreamed up by home manager Peta Mandleberg who explained: "Christmas can be an incredibly lonely time for many people.
Those living on their own – particularly if they are elderly or have lost a husband or wife – can find the day unbearable. We all know how damaging loneliness can be and don't want to think that anyone living near our home should spend the day on their own. We are keen to involve the local community in many of our activities and often hold free events to which the wider public is invited.
"We hope that this small gesture will go a long way towards helping people know that someone does care about them. Not only will they enjoy a really rather delicious meal - our chef is amazing - they'll also get to meet new friends. And who knows, once they've met, that may be the beginning of a long lasting and beautiful friendship.
"We are even arranging for our driver to collect the visitors and return them safely to their homes after the festivities."
Vicar of Claines St John's and Saint George's CE Worcester, the Revd Jo Musson, added: "I was so overwhelmed at the kindness of Peta's offer that I was moved to tears when she first mentioned it to me. For me, this act of kindness and compassion reflects the true spirit of Christmas that Jesus demonstrated throughout his life: that we think of others before ourselves, and that we share what we have with those less fortunate.
"The ladies and gentlemen who have already booked places are amazed at the generosity of the invitation, especially the taxi service! Some of them visited the dining room when our Quest Group for the bereaved met at Fernhill House last week. They told me it is like a 4* restaurant!"
There are a few spaces left and if anyone knows of a local elderly person who might otherwise be alone on Christmas Day call Jo on 01905 780200 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. They don't have to be a church goer to qualify!

Bride Is Given Away By The Man Who Received Her Dad's Heart
Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the most wonderful days of your life, but without a parent, it can be a painful reminder of what you're missing.
For Jeni Stephen, it was a reminder that her father, who had been murdered 10 years earlier, wouldn't be around to walk her down the aisle.
However, this story took a beautiful turn, after she met Arthur Thomas, the man who received her dad's heart.
On the eve of her wedding day, Jeni finally met Arthur, and there was something comforting in the fact that although she had only just met him she had known his heartbeat for her whole life.
Arthur travelling from Pittsburgh to New Jersey for the ceremony, at which he was asked to escort Jeni down the aisle to her groom.
Jen wanted to have a part of her dad present on one of the most important days of her life. You crying yet? Michael Stepien was murdered in Swissvale in 2006.
Thomas had been waiting 16 years for a donor, and was on death's doorstep before he received Michael's heart.
Stepien said the family and Thomas have been writing letters, talking over the phone and sending gifts for the last 10 years.
But it was her wedding day that finally brought them all together for the first time. 'The whole family is here now,' she told CBS Pittsburgh.
'It's like everybody is here.' Just hugging him made me feel like I was close to my dad again,' Stepien's sister Michelle said.
'On this day it was perfect. It was what I needed.' When Jeni asked Arthur to escort her down the aisle, he was thrilled.
'What a greater honor could a person have than walking the daughter of the man who's given his heart to him,' Thomas told CBS Pittsburgh.
'I can't imagine a greater honor.'

This post is explicit, and links to pages which feature explicit photographs. Feel free to look away.
I admit to a passing interest in fashion trends. Well ok, maybe that's exaggerating my interest. So this may not be breaking news, but I've been thinking about it since chatting with a lesbian friend 14 years younger than I am.
We were talking about our bodies, and how we felt about them, and she said she shaved all her pubic hair. I asked her how her lovers felt about this, and she looked shocked and said "they all have too, of course." When I told her I have never slept with a woman who shaves all her pubic hair, she looked shocked again.
Now most of her lovers have been her age or younger, mixed racially, not identifying as feminist.
Nearly all of my female lovers have been my age or older, mixed racially, identifying as feminists (what can I say, women who love women and don't like gender oppression, *sexy*).
So there's a generation gap going on here, and possibly a different analysis about how women look after our beautiful bits between feminists and non-feminists.
Before anyone assumes I'm saying "feminists can't shave their pubic hair", let me clarify. Growing pubic hair is one of the changes our bodies go through when we move from childhood to adulthood, and I don't know about you, but I love being an adult woman. Which includes, for me, loving pubic hair.
A couple of years ago in Wellington's Comedy Fest, the only humour in common from all the wonderful female comics I went to see were "jokes" about their pubic hair being revolting. This is the bit that is anti-feminist as far as I'm concerned – cultural norms which tell us our ordinary bodies are disgusting and a return to a pre-adult look for our genitals is a must. But our bodies, including our pubic hair? Ours to do what we wish with, of course. Kinda a baseline for feminism.
Quite where our wishes come from of course is another matter. Pubic hair fashion, like all fashion, has changed over the years and most agree that Penthouse featuring shaved genitalia in 1970 kicked off a cosmic shift in hair removal.
90s porn culture targeted a new area of hair growth on women and deemed it unattractive and unacceptable. In fact, trimmed, shaped or completely removed pubic hair has become normative. It is difficult many to remember the previous aesthetic, an aesthetic that did not require a woman's vulva to be shaved, waxed or shorn to be considered "attractive" or desirable.
The "attractive" thing is clearly not just heterosexual in gaze, as evidenced by my friend. It's also strongly aged. One national survey in the US found that 38% of women aged 18-44 cf 3% women aged 55 and older believe most men prefer a manicured look to their pubes. And what men want is definitely part of selling the package of pubic maintenance to women:
Most women place a good deal of focus on their pubic hair not only for themselves but for their partners as well. In fact, many women are willing to indulge their partners when it comes to pubic hair styles. Why not?In a recent study:48% of men preferred their women to get rid of it all.
29% of men said they preferred their women to be natural — that being trim and neat but not bare.
16% of men wanted their women to have a little tuft of hair or a patch — would that be a 'soul' patch, boys?
The rates of "heterosexually active men" who answered this small online survey were similarly clear about preferring little or no pubic hair, and the reasons for their preference:
Making oral sex "better"? I guess I have nothing to compare it with, but I'm not really sure how much "better" giving oral sex could get to be brutally honest. One in four men surveyed liking the woman they are having sex with to look younger or virginal while they are having sex with them? Just creepy.

I�m wandering into a patch of woods in a commercial district of New Bern, having no idea if I�ll find what I�m looking for. I�ve been told at least three or four of the homeless live here, squatting down in good weather and hiding out in Walmart when it rains. I navigate what seems to be deer path overrun with briars and ankle-deep patches of poison ivy.
First of three parts.
I�m wandering into a patch of woods in a commercial district of New Bern, having no idea if I�ll find what I�m looking for. I�ve been told at least three or four of the homeless live here, squatting down in good weather and hiding out in Walmart when it rains. I navigate what seems to be deer path overrun with briars and ankle-deep patches of poison ivy.
I see no one � no surprise, as much as it�s rained of late. But I do stumble upon a crude encampment in a clearing of sorts. An old queen-size mattress is on the ground soaking up moisture if not the rays that cut through the trees. A few feet off is an old red blanket. A can of Barbasol � It looks pretty new to me � lies on the ground near a plot of soda can pop-tops scattered like seed. No carbonated seedlings are growing up, of course.
At the outskirts of the camp: piles of trash, cans, rags, corrugated cardboard so soaked it no longer resembles a box, a hardhat, upside down and full of water, a ruined backpack with wheels mounted to the bottom.
Turning slowly in the breeze, a large trash bag hangs from a branch. Through a slit in the side I see the trademark-red of Coke cans. Looking closer, I see they are empty.
The center of the campground holds the remains of an old lean-to, now collapsed. Sawn sticks hammered to two-by-fours make up one fallen, two-foot wide wall and the remains of an old tarp that was either torn or burned away stick here and there to the poles.
People may still hide out here but the encampment, it turns out, was ordered closed by police a good year or so ago.
I�m in the midst of ghosts. Images of hobos float in my mind, and all that�s missing is a railroad track and Roger Miller singing �King of the Road.�
Most people don�t often see the homeless in New Bern. Tourists passing through probably don�t know that they�re here. Sometimes a man will accost someone downtown, begging for a few dollars for gas or a meal. There�s the guy on the bench at the library, looking dislocated at best. A visit to Religious Community Services (RCS) at the right time of day will show you some homeless folks gathered for breakfast or leaving the shelter for the day.
But they�re not stand-out and in-your-face homeless, like the guy sleeping on a Central Park bench beneath a blanket or newspaper, the guy huddled up in an Atlanta doorway or sprawled asleep across a grating in Washington D.C.
As Tharesa Lee, non-profit coordinator for the city, states, the homeless are �a little different, here.
�It�s a challenge,� she said, �because we still see homelessness like it is in New York. � We assume it�s a person that�s living on the street, but it may also be someone who�s living on a couch, in a garage, in a car.�
�Here�s my definition of homeless,� Juliet Rogers, director of shelter services at RCS, says: �Those who are flat, down and out and have no place to live. They live with people, they live in tents, in abandoned buildings, in abandoned cars. Some live in the woods.�
Some, of course, take advantage of RCS�s 20-bed homeless shelter on George Street.
During bad weather they will often take cover in Walmart, or at such restaurants as McDonald�s and Waffle House where they can wait it out over a cup of coffee.
Lee suggests we do not notice many of the homeless because, in a small town, they can easily blend it.
�It�s easy to hide it,� she says. But �sometimes you see it, you know it. They have that look. A lot of the time they don�t look you in the eye.
Often, she says, they do what they can to hide their situation � hence a lot of �couch surfers� who move from friend to friend for a place to stay.
One homeless man I interviewed insisted I not use his name. He has friends in the area who are unaware of his situation and he wants to keep it that way.
�I was over there (at RCS) dropping off a donation,� Lee recalls. �There was a young boy, didn�t seem to be 20 years old. I asked him, �Do you live here? Where you from?� He says, �From all over. I don�t have a home.� It still breaks my heart. If not for grace, it would be one of us.�
The North Carolina Interagency Council for Coordinating Homeless Programs (ICCHP) declared that, in 2008, 12,371 people in the Tarheel state were homeless � 2,216 of them children.
According to a �Point In Time� count by the North Carolina Coalition on Homelessness, Craven County had 45 homeless people in 2011. During this one-day count, police and shelters were asked to record the number or homeless they see, directly know of or work with � but many locals who deal with the homeless believe the number is significantly higher.
�I�d say four- or 500 are homeless� in the New Bern area, Juliet Rogers, director of shelter services at RCS, says. The shelter takes in about 200 homeless a year and on any give day is housing 16 or 17 men, women and children.
Whitney Morton, corps officer with the Salvation Army in New Bern, agrees with Rogers�s estimates, adding that the Army, which provides food and other supplies to the needy, sees 10-15 homeless a week.
�There is no typical homeless person,� she says. �They�re our cousins and aunts and brothers and sisters. We�re all just one or two unforeseen circumstances from being homeless.�
The most obvious reason for homelessness was described for me by one homeless woman squatting in a tent: �If anyone asks you why we are here, tell them it�s the economy.�
The economy in New Bern is not the best. The Bureau of Labor Statistics places North Carolina as the fifth-highest state in unemployment in the U. S. with a rate of 8.8 percent. Craven County�s unemployment rate is even higher: 9.4 percent (Pamlico and Jones are at 8.9 and 9 percent, respectively).
As to income, the Census Bureau places 17.9 percent of North Carolinians as living in the poverty level � and a whopping 23.5 percent of New Bernians.
Whitney agrees that a poor economy is a major cause for many of the homeless, but she adds that, usually, there is an additional trigger that sends them over the edge from endangered to on the street.
�Usually some unexpected, unanticipated life event,� such as a sudden medical or family emergency is what does it, she says.
But while the economy is always in a homeless person�s picture, other reasons loom large. Laziness may be at the root of some homeless, but leveling such a charge at all, or even most, is oversimplification and often wrong. �Our perspective is, they�re lazy. They�re shiftless. They don�t want to work,� Lee said. �But they don�t ask to have mental illness. And substance abuse, it doesn�t discriminate.�
Addictions to alcohol or drugs have been the downfall of many homeless. And mental illness is one of the most rapidly-growing causes.
�We�re really seeing a shift from unemployment and underemployment to mental health in our shelter,� Rogers says.
New Bern Police Sgt. Todd Conway, who often deals with the homeless, agrees. �A lot have mental health issues or addictions to ale or narcotics,� he says.
Many mental health advocates blame state government for the rise in homelessness among the mentally ill. In 2000, the state privatized mental health and in the past year has closed Dorothea Dix, one of the largest state-run mental health hospitals. For a time, �adult day facilities were used,� Rogers said, but this past January rules were issued requiring that the census of all such facilities be kept, at a minimum, to 50 percent elderly.
As a result, many mentally ill have nowhere to go. �These mental patients have wound up in our shelter,� Rogers said. As a result, some of the homeless who are not mentally ill have avoided the shelter because they felt it was too disturbing to room with guests who are mentally ill.
�People in Raleigh, people in Charlotte � there�s groups there raising the alarm� about the release of so many mentally ill onto the streets, she says. �You�re actually hurting the community when you turn mental health patients loose� with no resources to help them. �Every community has to deal with it because they�ve got people that are dangerous, off their medications.�
Another group of homeless who are rapidly growing in number is women with children.
The cause there is often domestic abuse � women who leave, or who are thrown out of, their homes. They often take the children with them and find themselves on the streets or in shelters that are, in reality, ill-equipped.
Lee recalls getting a call from a young woman. �She said her husband didn�t want her anymore and she had nowhere to go.� Lee attempted to get her into the RCS shelter, which has a room for families, but the woman refused. �She preferred to sleep in the van than go to the shelter.�
One woman who did go to the RCS shelter as a result of domestic abuse is Amy. She has struggled to keep going with her three boys, ages 11, 10 and 9, since divorcing an abusive husband four years ago.
�We were co-captives,� she says of her former life with her husband, who now lives outside the area. �There�s times I compare it to being a prisoner of war.�
Most of the abuse was against her, she says, and was so severe that she has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and a neurologic disorder that makes her incapable of doing many kinds of work.
�I still have nightmares,� she says. �I can remember what the patterns on the bottom of a Craftsman steel-toed boot are.�
Her boys, she said, also suffer post-traumatic stress.
�My ex decided to put a financial stranglehold on me,� she said, stopping his child support. She struggled to keep up with rent. �I�d go without just trying to keep a roof over our heads, but there�s not a lot of funding, especially in smaller towns.�
About a month ago she was evicted and her three boys placed into foster care.
Struggling now to put her life back together, she says, �It�s heart-breaking. My kids are my world. To be apart from them for even a day is so hard.�
Sgt. Conway is quick to note that New Bern has had very little trouble from its homeless population. There have been no assaults.
The biggest problem is panhandling � usually downtown. He advises against giving panhandlers money. First, you don�t know that he�ll actually use the money for gas or food. Second, you don�t know what kind of reaction you�ll get.
�You have a wallet and you pull out money,� he says, and he may not be happy with the amount you give him. �You might be a potential victim.�
That doesn�t mean the local police want you to be heartless. �If you�re going to give him anything, buy him a McDonald�s Value Meal,� he said.
He notes that many of the homeless he is aware of are people either passing through, or they find a job. Of actual, on-the-street homeless in New Bern, he says he�s only aware of one or two.
Rogers agrees that many of the area�s homeless are transients. Some are sent to the shelter from other towns. New Bern even receives some because of the bus lines, she says. Some people from across the country are trying to reach Atlantic Beach but are stranded in New Bern, because that�s as close to the beach as the bus lines go.
Next: We will look at the lives of four people who are experiencing, or have experienced homelessness in New Bern.

After the entrance procession at St. Gabriel Church in Washington today, Father Tom Gude, the pastor and celebrant, noted that he had stayed at the rectory rather than go to the April 17 papal Mass. "It's just as well," he said. "About 10 minutes after the Mass started, I got a phone call at the rectory. It was a woman. She asked, `How do I join the Catholic Church?'"
Father Gude added, "She said she had been watching the Mass on TV, and they were playing `Holy God, We Praise Thy Name' (as Pope Benedict XVI was entering the stadium in his popemobile), and she said, `I was just so moved.'"
During his homily, he brought up again the issue of the woman wanting to join the church. "That whole stadium was singing. Who knows if one person hadn't been singing, whether that woman would have been moved to call the rectory and want to join the church."

Nice new picture of a headland spit somewhere on the opening screen, but where?
Also what about all this water being squirted to atmosphere out the back end of the ferry type jobby?
Or is it all fire hydrants exhausting to atmosphere knowing of Martin's return from his latest adventure based on that well known saying " every trips an Adventure "
Bit like welcoming large cruise ships and the like.
Wonder what it's like to be famous.

"There were 3.5 million job openings at the end of February, the Labor Department said Tuesday, up from three million a year earlier. The job-vacancy rate, which measures job openings as a percentage of total jobs in the U.S., was 2.6%.
In the seven years before the recession, a vacancy rate of 2.6% was associated with an unemployment rate of about 5.7%. Now, the unemployment rate is much higher—it was 8.2% in March, down from 8.3% in February. That may augur a disturbing shift in the labor market that will keep more people out of work, slow the economy and make U.S. companies less profitable.
High job-vacancy rates come about because employers are having a hard time filling jobs. So they are associated with low unemployment rates. When vacancy rates are low, the opposite is true. Plot out unemployment rates against vacancy rates, and you get what is called the Beveridge curve, a downward-sloping line named after the late British economist William Beveridge.
But the Beveridge curve, nearly three years after the economy began to recover, looks different than it did before the recession struck in late 2007. Unemployment rates are much higher versus vacancy rates than they used to be. Shifts like that in the Beveridge curve suggest the labor market has become less efficient at matching workers with jobs, something that can happen when workers don't have the skills that employers need."
The problem could be a mismatch between the skills of the unemployed and the skills employers want (this is an example of structural unemployment). For those workers, they could be unemployed for a long time.

Event Summary:
- Date: August 21, 1863
- Location: Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas
- Adversaries: William Clarke Quantrill's Raiders vs. the civilian population of Lawrence
- Casualties: Between 160-190 men and teenaged boys killed; one raider, Larkin Skaggs, killed
- Result: Destruction of most of the town; Order No. 11 issued to quell the bushwhacker violence
William Quantrill's raid on the Free-State town of Lawrence, Kansas (also known as the Lawrence Massacre) was a defining moment in the border conflict. At dawn on August 21, 1863, Quantrill and his guerrillas rode into Lawrence, where they burned much of the town and killed between 160 and 190 men and boys. This raid was the culmination of an ongoing conflict between the Free-State forces who controlled Lawrence and the proslavery partisans who lived in nearby Missouri. Although Kansas entered the Union as a free state in 1861, ending the period called "Bleeding Kansas," the animosities of the territorial period lived on with the outbreak of civil war that same year.
One of the first casualties was Reverend Snyder, shot as he was milking his cow outside his home along present- day East 19th Street.
On that fateful August morning, a group of roughly 400 Confederate guerrillas entered the sleeping town. They immediately began to ransack homes, shoot civilians, loot stores, and set fire to buildings (including the prominent Eldridge Hotel, although Quantrill allowed its inhabitants to evacuate safely). One of the first casualties was Reverend Snyder, shot as he was milking his cow outside his home along present-day East 19th Street. Mayor George Collamore, upon hearing the commotion, hid in his family's well, where he died of smoke inhalation. The rest of his family survived, although they had lost their home and the raiders severely wounded his 18-year-old son.
George Ellis, a free black man, had risen early to finish some work on his family's farm. The raiders killed George's father, but George, his brother Ben, and his mother Jane managed to survive. George hid in a dense thicket near the Kansas River, and after Quantrill's men set the house afire, Jane successfully dragged Ben out of the flames and concealed him underneath a feather bed. In addition to targeting African Americans, the raiders also inquired about the whereabouts of notorious Free-State leaders like James H. Lane, who was able to hide in a West Lawrence cornfield to escape detection, along with several of his neighbors. The state governor and a leader of the Free-State movement, Charles Robinson, was lucky enough to escape with his life as well.
Hugh Dunn Fisher, a chaplain with the 5th Kansas Cavalry who was home on sick leave, attempted to flee with two of his sons, but being unable to keep up with them, he returned to his house and hid underneath the cellar stairs. When some of Quantrill's men entered the house, they demanded that his wife Elizabeth let them inspect the cellar. They failed to see Fisher in the dim light, but as they left, they set fire to the house and watched it burn, hoping to flush him out if he were hiding. Elizabeth fought valiantly to extinguish the flames, but being unable to do so, she drug out a large rug (on the pretense of saving her possessions), and Hugh hid under it until the raiders left. Their entire family survived the raid.
Terror spread throughout the town, with panicked citizens fleeing into nearby ravines, hiding in cellars or cornfields, and attempting to escape across the Kansas River.
As the day went on, terror spread throughout the town, with panicked citizens fleeing into nearby ravines, hiding in cellars or cornfields, and attempting to escape across the Kansas River. By nightfall the raiders were gone, but traumatized residents now faced the daunting task of cleaning up between $1 million and $1.5 million of damage (in 1863 dollars) and coping with the high death toll. Approximately 20 percent of the male population had been killed, leaving 85 widows.

There are many possible motivations behind the Lawrence Massacre. Founded in 1854, Lawrence's reputation for being an anti-slavery stronghold made it a target for guerrilla violence. Then, during the Civil War, Union regiments tasked with controlling the guerrilla population in Missouri often rendezvoused in Lawrence. A prominent resident and U.S. Senator, James H. Lane, commanded the infamous "Jayhawkers," a military regiment that conducted raids into Missouri, confiscated supplies, and killed Missourians who sided with the Confederacy. One such raid took place on September 23, 1861, when Lane and his men ransacked Osceola, destroying stores and homes and robbing the bank. Quantrill's guerrillas likely sought retribution for these attacks on Missouri.
Historians have also speculated that the Lawrence massacre was revenge for the unexplained collapse of a women's prison in Kansas City only eight days earlier, which killed female relatives of the guerrillas, including one of William T. "Bloody Bill" Anderson's sisters and Cole Younger's cousin. Quantrill himself also had personal experience with Lawrence, having lived there under an alias a few years prior. All of these motivations are plausible explanations for why Quantrill chose to attack Lawrence.
Quantrill's raid was doubtless one of the most significant acts of violence against civilians during the Civil War, and with it came powerful repercussions. To control these guerrillas and prevent another massacre, Union General Thomas Ewing issued Order No. 11 on August 25, 1863, which stated that all residents of four counties on the Missouri side of the border (Jackson, Cass, Bates, and northern Vernon counties) must relocate to the Kansas City area. He accurately believed that such action would flush out guerrillas and limit their ability to get supplies from friends and family living in these counties.
