It was so amazing to see the little guy/girl?! wiggling around inside Erin.  We are 19 weeks along and it is really starting to sink in that in less than 5 months I am going to be a daddy.  Wow!  Have fun with the photos&#8230; The first three are aggregate photos with about 4-6 individuals on one page.  All the rest are broken out individuals.  &#8220;<a href="http://caseyhelbling.dyndns.org/baby/baby_individual_2006.03.06_06.jpg">baby_individual_2006.03.06_06.jpg</a>&#8221; seen below is a cool image where you can see him/her yawning&#8230; or &#8230; insert random alien screaming joke here.</p>

<div>Yesterday we added a member to the Helbling family, Bipin Che Helbling.  He is an 8 week old, adorable <a href="http://www.akc.org/breeds/havanese/index.cfm">Havanese.</a>  I think he will be the perfect pet since he is both playful and relaxed; a great combination of curiosity and tenderness.  And to top it all off, last night he slept the whole night through without whining!  My kind of dog.  Here are a few movie clips for your enjoyment (photos to follow soon).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The runs went rather well, Erin and I both finished&#8230; some people just call me the 2 second guy since my chip time was 3:59:58.  Seriously, talk about cutting it close.  My legs are still very sore and I grimace every time I stand up.  Hopefully the lactic acid goes away soon.  I have some video footage of the death trot that I would like to post in the upcoming days.  It is pretty funny to see such a fatty running next to all the skinny little &#8220;professional&#8221; runners.  I&#8217;m sure you will all get a kick out of it.</p>

Today my buddy told me that he popped his $30 <b>and</b> $40 a tank cherry, all in the same week.  My $30 a tank cherry popped a few weeks ago, and I have yet to fillup a <i>full</i> tank at the new prices.  I&#8217;m dreading that day &#8217;cause I&#8217;m almost positive it will be at least $35.  As Chris Rock said on <b>Real Time with Bill Maher</b>, &#8220;You want to talk about terrorism, get that shit up to $5 dollars a gallon.  Then you will see some real terrorism.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A newly <a href="http://za.today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&amp;storyID=2005-08-31T152823Z_01_BAN155706_RTRIDST_0_OZATP-SAFRICA-RAPE-20050831.XML">invented anti-rape device</a> has caused a stir in South Africa where an <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1644792,00.html">estimated 1.69 million rapes occur each year</a> (one every 26 seconds).  The device is basically a female condom that is internally lined with sharp microscopic barbs that &#8220;latch on&#8221; to an attacker&#8217;s penis when he withdraws.  Once the device is &#8220;latched&#8221; it is only removable by surgery signaling authorities of an incident.  </p>
<p>I say more power to the women who wear them.  If a man doesn&#8217;t want his junk caught in the device, keep it out of where it doesn&#8217;t belong.  <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4080162.stm">Others surprisingly disagree.</a></p>

<p>With cases like this, it is no wonder why recruitment numbers are plummeting.  Why anyone would want to devote a life to the military, have an outstanding unblemished record, become a four star general, only to be booted out three months before you could retire.  I wonder how many other soldiers have had extramarital affairs that have gone unpunished?  How come when you torture and kill people it falls under service to your country but when you sleep around it is criminal and against the &#8220;Code&#8221;?  How come one president can fix intelligence around the policy to get us into an illegal war it goes unmentioned, but when another president has an extramarital affair he gets a special counsel Ken Starr giving him the fifth degree (ultimately leading to an impeachment trial)?</p>
<p>WTF &#8211; Apparently adultery is a family value on a whole higher level than lying, torture, war, needless death and suffering.  I guess I really need to get my priorities straight.</p>

<a href="http://tentis.blogspot.com/">Steve</a> and I saw chef <a href="http://members.cox.net/tyler_florence/">Tyler Florence</a> from FoodTV at Marshall Fields a while back doing a &#8220;minicooking&#8221; seminar and <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/clarksonpotter/catalog/results.pperl?authorid=8900">book signing</a>.  I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of Thai food so when he made this dish in like 15 minutes &#8230; I knew I had a chance. Try it, <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cooking/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_23100,00.html">the best/easiest green curry recipe</a>, you won&#8217;t be disappointed!  (PS: If you don&#8217;t want to make the fresh curry paste, you can substitute with the store bought stuff which cuts down your prep time considerably.)<br />
<span id="more-34"></span><br />
2 tablespoons vegetable oil<br />
1 medium onion, cut in 8 wedges<br />
1 green bell pepper, cut in 8 wedges<br />
1 stalk lemongrass, white bulb only<br />
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh ginger<br />
3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, recipe follows<br />
2 kaffir lime leaves<br />
3 cups unsweetened coconut milk, 2 (13.5 ounce) cans<br />
3/4 cup chicken broth<br />
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in 1-inch strips<br />
Sea salt<br />
1 lime, juiced<br />
Fresh Thai basil leaves<br />
Fresh cilantro leaves<br />
Lime wedges, for garnish</p>
<p>Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. Saute the onion and green peppers for 3 minutes to soften. Split the piece of lemongrass down the middle and whack it with the flat side of a knife to open the flavor. Add the lemongrass, ginger, curry paste and lime leaves to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Lay the chicken pieces in the mixture to poach; add a pinch of salt. Stir together and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Squeeze in the lime juice and shower with basil and cilantro; serve in dinner bowls with lime wedges.</p>
<p>Thai Green Curry Paste:<br />
2 tablespoons coriander seeds<br />
1 tablespoon cumin seeds<br />
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns<br />
8 fresh Thai green chiles<br />
2 shallots, coarsely chopped<br />
4 garlic cloves, smashed<br />
Small handful of fresh cilantro sprigs<br />
2-inch piece galangal, peeled and coarsely chopped<br />
2 lemon grass stalks, white part only, coarsely chopped<br />
2 kaffir lime leaves, torn<br />
2 teaspoons dried shrimp paste<br />
1/2 cup water</p>
<p>Heat the coriander, cumin seeds, and peppercorns in a small dry skillet for 2 minutes until fragrant. Put the seeds in a clean coffee grinder or spice mill and buzz the spices to a powder.</p>
<p>Put the spice blend and remaining ingredients in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Pour in the water to help grind everything down into a paste.</p>
<p>Yield: 1 1/2 cups</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When is the &#8220;media&#8221; actually going to start reporting the news?  </p>
<p>Top story today, &#8220;Schiavo Autopsy Shows Massive Brain Damage.&#8221; Once again they successfully covered up the real news.  If you carefully look deep inside <a href="http://cnn.com">cnn.com</a> you can find it  &#8220;<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/06/15/iraq.main/index.html">Restaurant bombing kills 23 Iraqi soldiers.</a>&#8221;  Yesterday the Jacko verdict covered up &#8220;<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=847565">19 Killed in Blast Outside Kirkuk Bank.</a>&#8221;  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s been so long since I&#8217;ve seen some real news that I don&#8217;t even know what the hell is really going on in the world.  Are we still at war in Iraq?  Oh we are?!  I thought that was over a few years ago.  I had no idea.  So then what is the official <a href="http://www.iraqbodycount.net/">body count</a>?  Huh, who would have thought.  Well at least I can surely tell you that Shiavo&#8217;s brain was officially mush &#8212; &#8217;cause that is pretty damn important.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m considering starting a new category in which I take conflicting bible verses or just plain crazy verses and &#8220;expose&#8221; it.  This could be a ton of fun and a great exercise in just really how wacky Christianity is.</p>
<p>Here is my first attempt &#8211; &#8220;An Eye for an Eye&#8221;.<br />
<span id="more-10"></span><br />
<b>Pro &#8220;Eye for an Eye&#8221;</b><br />
<i>Genesis 9:6</i> &#8211;  &#8220;Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed.&#8221;</p>
<p><i>Exodus 21-25</i> &#8211; If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman&#8217;s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.  And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.</p>
<p><b>Against &#8220;Eye for an Eye&#8221;</b><br />
<i>Matthew 5:38-41</i> &#8211; You have heard that it was said, &#8220;An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.&#8221; But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.</p>
<p><i>Romans 12.19-20</i> &#8211; Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, &#8220;Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.&#8221; No, &#8220;if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing so you will heap burning coals upon his head.&#8221;</p>
