Erin HWHAT THE CRAP
A third-grader was violently beaten at an Oakland, California school on Friday. Police state that the attacker, another child's mother, lured the girl into a bathroom and then hit her repeatedly with a hammer. Police also state that this was a targeted attack and that it was the result of a family feud. And as we all know, the best way to settle familial differences is by bludgeoning someone small and defenseless with blunt objects. Poisoning and stabbing come a close second.
Erin Haugh. so much horrifying news today. somebody please show me a puppy video.
Police are investigating the discovery of 800 long-dead babies found in the septic tank at a home for unwed mothers in western Ireland. The Home (that is its actual name and, yes, it does sound freakishly ominous) housed thousands of pregnant and unwed — "fallen"— women between 1925 and 1961. The women left after they'd paid for their stay in indentured servitude. Their children, reports The Washington Post, may not have been so lucky.

Today's heart(and pants)warming story of sweet payback for someone who really had it coming is brought to you by The Muppet Movie, the internet, and one petite but brave Boston lady who likes to practice making scary monster voices in her spare time.
Erin Hthis can't be real.
Love fresh, homemade tortillas but don't have the time to make them? Flatev wants to change that. The Flatev machine use dough-filled pods to create "fresh" tortillas. Similar to the Keurig, you simply insert a single pod into the machine and push a button and out comes a tortilla!

A person is the sum of their memories, so what happens when our personal histories can be deleted at will? That's the ethical dilemma facing researchers over at the University of California, San Diego, who have found that it's possible to delete and...
Erin Haw. i went to a native american film festival in gallup, new mexico in 1995 and met two of the original code talkers. it was one of the highlights of my life so far.
Erin HFUCK, addiction is a sonofabitch.
Erin Hthank you, universe for sending me this story today, even if it did have to come to me via effing jezebel.
Students at Vanier Catholic Secondary School in Whitehorse, Yukon have finally established a Gay-Straight Alliance, and more than half of the graduating class showed their support for the group by wearing rainbow socks to graduation.
Erin Hi agree 100% with the columnist who says we shouldn't be applauding law enforcement for doing their job, but in cases like this it happens so rarely that the bar is set *really* low.
Star athletes from a powerhouse high school athletic program. A sexual assault that occurred in the middle of a party full of witnesses who knew exactly what was going on but did nothing. Underage drinking. Online rumors. While the sexual assault of an 18-year-old Georgia high school senior by three of her classmates had many of the elements of a Steubenville-esque embarrassment, this time around, things are different. Local authorities have filed serious charges against the three men who participated in the assault, and have promised that more serious charges are forthcoming.
Erin Hi love her singing style.
Candy Hearts have released a new song. The song is the self-titled track from the upcoming All the Ways You Let Me Down LP. That release is out June 10 via Bridge 9.
Erin Hshe is just terrible in every way. i have a very profound distaste for her.
According to a source, Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell split because Wood prioritized motherhood over her relationship. In a seemingly contradictory detail, Wood also reportedly thought Bell wasn't "edgy" enough.
Erin HM&Ms! now i feel smart, even though me knowing this only means i'm fat. :)
I saw this chart on the Internet a couple weeks ago, and realized it made a pretty good trivia question if you removed the caption.
What is being graphed here?
Edited to add: Correctly solved by econgator over on the message boards. Linky here.

Candy Hearts have posted summer tour dates with Seaway and Stickup Kid abd November tour dates with New Found Glory.
Erin Hi don't see any tattoo anywhere in that original image. wtf?
In an email to Jezebel, a spokeswoman for Ann Taylor LOFT says that a very uncomfortable looking photo of a model in a bikini on their website was only "minimally retouched" and that any reason it might have looked overly photoshopped was actually just because the model was standing "an awkward angle."
Erin Hcan't stop watching.
Eileen Depesa thought quickly—and acted quicker, with a one-handed snag of Tyler Flowers's runaway bat that seemed to be heading right for the infant sitting directly behind her. The gentleman next to her, ducking for cover? He did not acquit himself nearly so well.
Erin HYOU SLOW. we've grilled 5 or 6 times already, it's glorious.
Finally, after a long winter, you can uncover the grill and get to cooking outside now. (Yes, yes, I know that some of you lucky — or diehard — cooks grill straight through the winter. But it never hurts to give the grill a spring cleaning.)
Here's a quick checklist of things you should run through before you light the first fire of the year!
Erin Hi hope to live my life in a way that my eulogy is similar to that. :) sounds like she was awesome!

If your day isn't going as well as you'd hoped and you need a quick pick-me-up to get you through those Saturday afternoon/evening blues (why is there never anything good on TV?), check out these twin (!!!) Corgis absolutely losing it because they're just so happy to be outside. Have you ever seen anyone be more excited about running around some kind of shrubbery? Settle down, Corgis! You're going to pull something!
Erin Hi kind of want this.
Erin Hi bet the mars pope would have something to say about that.
Cool pope Pope Francis is so cool (HOW COOL IS HE?) that he recently said he'd be willing to baptize aliens from outer space if they ever touch down on Earth looking to be saved.
Erin Hgorgeous. what a lovely idea.
Losing one's hair is one of the most common and most devastating outward effects of chemotherapy. Now, a Canadian organization is working to make the change less frightening and more empowering by drawing beautiful crowns on the heads of Cancer patients who have lost their hair.
Erin Hthis is so sweet.
If you're trying to keep your special day about you, here's some advice: Don't ask your grandma to be your bridesmaid. You think a 5-year-old with a basket of rose petals and a penchant for being photographed might steal the show? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. The New York Times just posted a video about three grandmas who absolutely killed it at their granddaughters' weddings. Killed it.
Erin Hthe goonies.
What’s your glue movie?
For me, I’m completely sucked in anytime I accidentally stumble on A League of Their Own while flipping channels. Yes, watching Tom Hanks and Geena Davis scratch out wins on the ball diamond always hooks me like a fish ’til the credits roll.
See, glue movies are any movie you can’t stop watching whenever you see them on TV.
Nope, don’t matter how many times you’ve seen ‘em, don’t matter if you own ‘em already — just forget the laundry, skip the dishes, and make your lunch tomorrow, people. You’re stuck in a glue movie so start popping corn and pouring Pepsis because you ain’t going anywhere.
Now, 
I was chilling in my friend Nick and Julie’s basement apartment the other night when we started chatting about glue movies. After I spent five minutes spilling potato chip crumbs all over my T-shirt while describing Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell’s on field chemistry, Nick started up a rant of his own.
“You know, you would think my glue movie would be The Usual Suspects,” he began. “I can pick it up anywhere and knowing the twist makes every scene more interesting. Like, what’s true, what’s made up? I’ve seen it twenty times and I still don’t know. But then again, it’s completely unwatchable when edited for television. In the police line-up scene they say something like ‘Hand me the keys, you giant cockroach.‘ It’s awful. So… now that I think about it my glue movie is definitely Heat. Long movie, understated performance by Deniro, the best bank robbing scene in history, and enough relationship stuff so Julie gets into it.”
It was a good argument and Nick was satisfied with it. He took a long swig of his drink and nodded his head a little bit as he came to terms with his glue movie selection. Then I performed a classy Thumb & Index Finger Pre-Lick, we let a minute pass in silence, and Julie went off like a rocket:
“My movie is definitely The Mighty Ducks 2,” she started, excitedly. Nick and I looked at each other but she ramped up. “Look, I’m smiling just thinking about it. I had a crush on all the boys from the first movie, but I can only responsibly love them closer to the legal age of consent. Plus, they had a girl on the team and I always dreamed of being that female hero. And I generally love movies with kids because they remind you of actors before they were big. I mean, I loved Joshua Jackson in Dawson’s Creek because of the ducks,” she finished.
Nick shrugged and nodded, I furrowed my eyebrows and gave a dramatic thumbs up, but Julie wasn’t quite done.
“Oh yeah!” she beamed. “And the movie taught me everything I know about hockey which can be summarized in three words: Ducks fly together. This is what I yell whenever Nick’s watching hockey.”
We smiled and laughed because it was clear these movies really do hold a special place in our hearts.
Maybe you’re glued to the screen waiting for the redemption in Shawshank, nervous for the courtroom drama in My Cousin Vinny, or eager for the trip home in Adventures in Babysitting.
But no matter what, watching your glue movie is like hanging out with an old friend who pops by for an unexpected visit. After pouring a drink and settling into your couch dent, the memory pops and nostalgia drops start sparking and sizzling in your brain. Suddenly you’re reminded of drives to the movies in mom’s minivan, crashing on the couch with friends, or sharing an old fave with a new flame.
So stick with your glue movies, everybody.
They’ll be yours forever.
AWESOME!

Erin Hno chance you'd be overcharged or doublecharged or phantom-charged at all, no siree. we know how upstanding city governments can be.
Getting a parking ticket sucks, but paying for it shouldn't have to be. That's what the folks at Boston's Terrible Labs think anyway -- they built an app called TicketZen to take the trouble out of giving the state your money, and we took at peek at...
