Use gingerbread girl and boy cookie cutters to trace outlines of the old lady and her children onto pieces of felt or construction paper. Cut out the characters and give each one a face and clothes made from markers, scrap fabric, stickers or wrapping paper. Glue each of the puppets onto Popsicle sticks and allow them to dry. Use craft supplies to decorate an old lady's boot as a house with windows, a door and a surrounding garden. When you are ready, have one person read the "The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe" while others use the puppets to perform the story. In a bowl, beat 3/4 cups butter with 1 cup of sugar. Beat in 1 egg and 2 tsp. of vanilla. Stir 2 1/2 cups of flour with 1/2 tsp. baking powder and combine this with the butter mixture. Refrigerate the dough until it is chilled before cutting out the characters. Flatten the dough with a rolling pin and use gingerbread boy and girl cookie cutters to make the old lady and children. If you can't find a boot shape, use a paring knife to cut boot shaped cookies into the dough. Transfer the cutouts to baking sheets and put them in an oven heated at 350 degrees and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Use icing, sprinkles and candies to decorate the little old lady, her children and her boot.

The brutal attack occurred in Dallas when a woman used her stiletto shoe as a weapon. The incident took place in the garage of an apartment complex in Old East Dallas and may have left one woman permanently disfigured. Vanessa Sarmientos, 26, and Jordan Pope, 21, were the victims of the attack. They had just arrived at the apartment complex after a night out at a Dallas nightclub. According to the police report, another car drove up to them and two women stepped out " both of whom Sarmientos and Pope recognized from an encounter at Wish Ultralounge. Earlier that night, one of the two unidentified women had punched Pope. Apparently, the woman became jealous that Pope was talking with a male employee at another club " the Knox Street Club. According to The Dallas News, the driver of the car began cursing at Sarmientos and then struck Vanessa in the eye with the heel of her stiletto shoe. Sarmientos ran to the other side of her car to grab her phone out of her purse so she could call 911. The other woman, the passenger of the car (who had already been issued a citation from the earlier incident at the nightclub), then took a swing at Pope who decided to fight back. The driver then joined in on their fight and " again, using her shoe " struck Pope in the head, knocking her to the ground. From there the attack turned more brutal as Pope was beaten repeatedly until she was knocked unconscious. After begging Sarmientos not to call the police (seriously?) the two women got back into their car and fled the scene. By the time police arrived, Vanessas eye was not only black and swollen shut " it was bleeding too. Her condition now is unknown. Sarmientos and Pope were received medical care at Baylor University Medical Center. Pope, who was released Monday, has staples in her head and extensive bruising, said her father, Bryan Pope. Police are still looking for the women responsible for the attack. According to The Dallas News article, police didn name the woman cited in the nightclub attack and didn release a detailed description of the driver. Women Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Stealth Reflective Silver Volt,Reading the stories of St. Columbanus' life, you could be forgiven for thinking that he was about one musical number away from being a real life Disney princess. He would roam the forests with birds flying around his head and landing on his shoulders while squirrels would run up and down his robes and nest in his cowl. Assuming that this guy was some sort of hippie wuss would probably be the last mistake you'd ever make, however, because Columbanus' control over animals didn't stop with the adorable ones. To put it plainly, the guy was essentially a beast master. As the Catholic church tells it, when walking through the forest one day, Columbanus was confronted with a dozen hungry wolves (who had probably been attracted by all the tasty birds and squirrels that followed him around). He walked right through them, unmolested. Apparently feeling that this just wasn't impressive enough, he soon upgraded to a more terrifying class of animal minion: bears. Evidently, the only thing that Columbanus loved more than helping others and spreading the word of God was the total humiliation and subjugation of bears. You'd swear that they'd picked on him in high school or something. His first ursine bitchslap was when he decided to retire into a mountain cave for prayer and meditation. The only problem was that this particular cave was the home to one very large sleeping she bear. Flying in the face of Darwinism, self preservation and general common sense, Columbanus woke up the confused 1,000 pound tower of teeth and claws and ordered it to leave the cave and never return. "Ugh and from now on, shit in the woods!" The bear, recognizing the fact that anyone brave enough to wake it up in the first place was obviously someone not to be screwed with, ran away, tail between its legs. As if kicking a bear out of its house wasn't suicidally badass enough for one lifetime, some time later Columbanus came upon a bear feasting on the carcass of a deer in the middle of the woods. The saint decided that he could probably use some new shoes, and so casually ordered the bear not to harm the skin of the deer so that he could use it to make a new pair. But Columbanus hadn't even begun to prove to bears everywhere who the boss was yet. When the monastery where Columbanus lived was having trouble planting its crops one year, he solved this problem the only way he knew how: by making a bear look stupid. He summoned one of the apex predators from a nearby forest and hooked it up to a plow like a common mule. Now, since it was the 13th century and medicine was not all that advanced, it was a tad surprising when she woke up during her funeral and vehemently disagreed with being buried . "Can you at least try out the coffin before you say no?" Did we say disagreed? We mean she frickin' flew up all the way to the rafters of the chapel, complaining about the sinful stench of the unwashed masses below. Indeed, "astonishing" is probably a title well earned at that stage. But wait, it gets even better. The story goes that the young woman declared that she had seen purgatory and decided that her suffering in their stead would help guide souls out of the cleansing fire straight into heaven. So suffer she did, and no, she didn't half ass it with some minor self flagellation. Witnesses testified that she had been seen crawling into live ovens, handling fire, standing in freezing water for hours, getting mauled by dogs and, finally, being dragged around and around by a mill wheel. And all that without sustaining so much as a single scratch. However, they found her Steve Martin impression lacking. When she wasn't out flinging herself into danger, she would sleep in tombs and caves, climb trees and buildings or simply levitate to avoid contact with the people she identified as sinners by their smell alone. Hmm . a woman who died but then came back more powerful than ever, with the ability to fly, who was pretty much invulnerable? And exhibiting subtle signs of mental imbalance? Yep, she was pretty much the Catholic Jean Grey. "Hail Jean, full of Grey, Cyclops is with thee ." 1. St. Joseph of Cupertino Could FlyMost saints used their miraculous powers to help their fellow man: healing the sick, feeding the hungry or something equally altruistic. As far as we know, there was only one saint who used his miraculous powers just to look really, really badass. St. Joseph of Cupertino was an Italian friar who could, according to legend, fly. And none of this David Blaine "hovering an inch and a half off the ground" crap, either. He's reported to have been capable of soaring into the sky and flying over crowds of people like Superman in a robe. Also, he was apparently the Crucifix Hamburglar. The first reported instance of Joseph giving gravity the finger was during a procession on the feast day for St. Francis of Assisi. Joseph was just helping out, walking around like the rest of us land based humans, when he suddenly became overwhelmed by the spirit and soared into the air, hanging out over the crowd until one of his superiors ordered him to come down. Joseph was apparently so embarrassed by the incident that he ran to his mother's house instead of, we don't know, continuing to do barrel rolls all day while screaming "I can freaking fly, bitches!" like we'd do in the same situation. "Dude, I'm open! Open! No, up here!" This wasn't a one off, either. Joseph's flights became so frequent that the friars reportedly had to forbid him from doing it because he was causing a distraction. Evidently friars had better things to do with their time back then than watch somebody break the laws of physics. "Joseph, don't make us tether you!" This ban may have been for Joseph's own safety, however, since he's reported to have been a bit of a moron. Known for being incredibly simple, he couldn't read or write and his lack of intelligence was supposedly so pronounced that it actually led to him becoming, among other things, the patron saint of the mentally handicapped. In other words, if the stories are to be believed, then one day God apparently thought to himself, "I wonder what would happen if I gave the idiot superpowers?"

Low Price Free Shipping Women Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Stealth Reflective Silver Volt,Women Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Ultrapurple Reflect Silver Wolf Grey The Nationals, who snapped a nine game losing streak to Atlanta on Wednesday, allowed their NL East rivals to get only three runners in scoring position over two nights. Haren (3 3) won his second consecutive start, giving up four hits and one run with one walk and four strikeouts. Rafael Soriano earned his ninth save in 10 chances by pitching the ninth. He retired Justin Upton and Freddie Freeman on groundouts before Evan Gattis singled and Dan Uggla popped up. Washington got off to a good start in the first off Kris Medlen, breaking its 15 game streak without a first inning run when Span led off with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Steve Lombardozzi's RBI single. Adam LaRoche doubled and rookie Anthony Rendon singled to start the second. With two outs, Span doubled past third baseman Chris Johnson on a play that was originally scored an error and later changed to a hit. Medlen (1 4) lost his third straight start, allowing seven hits, three runs and three walks in seven innings. He struck out eight. Haren shook off his 7.31 career ERA in three career starts at Turner Field to win consecutive starts for the first time since signing as a free agent with the Nationals last winter. Haren had the Braves guessing all night until Uggla's fifth homer cut the lead to 3 1 with two out in the seventh. Needing just 13 pitches to get through the first two innings, Haren didn't allow a hit until Freeman's two out single in the fourth. Haren made just 69 pitches through the seventh. Of Atlanta's three runners in scoring position the last two games, two of them Medlen and Paul Maholm were pitchers. Span went 3 for 4 with a walk. He snapped an 0 for 41 skid that the Nationals had this season against the Atlanta bullpen when he singled off Jordan Walden in the ninth. NOTES: Braves LF Justin Upton was chosen as NL player of the month for April. . Gattis was picked as NL rookie of the month. . Nationals LF Bryce Harper had X rays on his left shoulder before the game. He left Wednesday's win over the Braves in the sixth soon after wincing on a check swing. The X rays were negative and Harper was diagnosed with a bruise under his left shoulder blade. He went 0 for 4 with a ninth inning walk. . Washington RF Jayson Werth went 0 for 2 and left for pinch hitter Roger Bernadina in the fifth. Werth returned to the lineup after missing two straight games with a strained right hamstring and a bruised left ankle. . Bernadina dropped to 1 for 21 this season when he struck out in the seventh and ninth, stranding a combined three runners in scoring position. Women Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Stealth Reflective Silver Volt Running through forests or parks on prescribed paths of bark chips or wood mulch is already widespread in America, and is becoming increasingly popular in the UK as more and more woodlands are opened to the public and nature trails are put down. Trail running has got a reputation as "cross country for wimps", simply because public Health Safety requirements mean that these pathways have to avoid so many of nature's inherent hazards. But take no notice of such talk. Although trail running might not be sufficiently taxing for the real hard core runners, for the rest of us it is about as perfect a situation as anybody could hope for. You are close to nature, but it's nature that's managed to such a degree it's not scary at all for that reason personal safety is much greater. Also most woodlands are far more interesting than most streets, you are removed from traffic hazards and pollution, and the prepared surface will have enough cushion to make it easy on your knees and ankles, but not so much give as to work against you. If you are lucky enough to live near a sandy beach, run on it at every opportunity! You'll feel so much better as the sea air will do your lungs the world of good, while the sight, sound and smell of the waves is a marvelous psychological boost. Running on soft sand will give you a good workout too, as the unevenness and the lack of traction means you'll have to work that bit harder to dig your feet out of it and cover the distance in fact you should shorten your stride slightly to counteract the yielding surface. Many runners prefer running on the packed sand at the water's edge for a firmer push, even dodging in and out of waves. Fun as this might be, squelchy running shoes aren't, so it's not recommended if you have to travel a long way in them after your run. While running on sand will be far more forgiving if you are recovering from an injury, try to avoid beaches with steep cambers as you will naturally try to keep your body vertical and in doing so put added strain on your ankles, knees and hips.
