There are two farms on the property: our equestrian facility and our organic apple orchard. Both of these farms bring us closer to the land, our animals, and our extended ‘Ohana of friends, students, horses, dogs, goats, and our community. We've created a supportive and fun place where we can learn and ride, or just come and enjoy the Aloha spirit.
My love for horses has been life-long, but my focused study, training, and competition career beganin the 1990s when I moved to the Santa Cruz area. My background includes natural horsemanship and three-day eventing, but my passion is in riding, learning, and teaching classical dressage.
Like so many of us, I started as a recreational rider and only began my equestrian education when I needed help with an untrained horse that was beyond my capabilities (which of course made him seem like a “bad” horse to me). I came to appreciate the subtle and gentle communication of natural horsemanship, and how it created a calm, respectful, and safe relationship between me and my horse, both on the ground and in the saddle - which at one point seemed impossible. After this experience, I was convinced that the well-rounded equestrian athlete needed to be talented under-saddle, have a willing attitude, and be a joy (or at least easy) to handle on the ground.
These first lessons helped me to develop a great relationship with my horse, and I was hooked on horse-education. I decided to try it all and began riding with an eventing coach. I enjoyed both the stadium jumping and cross-country phases of eventing, but was drawn to the technical precision, strength, and beauty of dressage.
I decided to specialize in classical dressage, and am always continuing to refine my riding, teaching, and training skills. My mentor, Rachel Saavedra, is a faculty member for the USDF Instructor Certification Program, USDF gold medalist, and FEI competitor. She has helped me to develop as a teacher as well as a rider and trainer, and I am truly grateful.
I have attended teaching workshops through the USDF Instructor Certification Program and with Mary Wanless, a specialist in rider biomechanics. I have attended several sessions of the USDF ‘L’ Program for judges, which also brings helpful information to instructors. As often as possible, I participate in riding clinics. Some of my favorite and most memorable rides have been with: Gunther Zach, Don Sachey, Suzanne von Dietz, Mary Wanless, Claus Bergener, Ray Berta, and Marybeth Wiefels.
I am an educator at heart, and love to teach students, both human and equine. My goal is to be a kind and thoughtful teacher who brings out the best in my students through clear communication, humor, and a positive attitude. I am a certified instructor through the American Riding Instructor Association for both Dressage and Recreational Riding. My memberships include CDS, USDF, and USEF. I regularly compete on my young Swedish warmblood, Giovani, and also coach my students at shows.
The apple orchard at ‘Ohana Farms is a beautiful setting for our daily rides, but is also a working farm. We grow organic apples, which means that we use only natural methods for enhancing the soil and controlling pests. It is important to us to take care of the land, water, plants, and other creatures on our farm so that we can be an asset to our community
We produce several varieties of apples, including some heirloom varieties of Gravenstein, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Pippin, Golden Delicious, and Fuji. Currently, we sell our apples to Solana Gold Organics, which produces a delicious all-organic apple juice
We do a good amount of our work by hand, and all of our operations are local, so our reliance on petroleum products is kept to a minimum, and our ecological footprint can be kept as small as possible.
‘Ohana Farms is owned and operated by Ryan and Shannon Bane, their animals, and their families. The “animals” that started it all include Lucas and JD—the big (and sometimes “Juvenile Delinquent”) horses, Noodle and Hemi—2 of our 4 goats, and Jeddy, Bisou, and Hula—the dogs. Shannon’s parents, Craig and Maydeen, own part of the ranch as well as 2 goats (Makai and Mauka), and help by working on the farm—doing anything from laying tile to mucking stalls-- whenever they visit. Ryan’s dad, Bruce, is a retired engineer-turned-ranchhand, and has helped out on so many ranch projects we’ve lost count: dressage mirrors, surveying property lines, and on and on... Ryan’s mom, Lynn, is an avid supporter of our activities too.
Ryan and Shannon’s brothers and their families are our extended ‘Ohana: Brandon, Lynne Marie, Sawyer, and Cael; Eric, Kristie, and London. We love it when they come to visit--- it livens up the house and barn!
Our apple farm and barn wouldn’t be the same without help from Armando and Pablo and our apple mentor/guru Pete. They can do it all!
Peggy has lived on the property even longer than Ryan and Shannon, and has intimate knowledge of the land, the community, and her many cats. We enjoy having her as part of our ‘Ohana too!
The barn ladies and their horses are our special ‘Ohana: Kriss and her witty thoroughbred Tommy; Vicki and her 2 horses—Pacifica (a Westfalen warmblood) and Wyatt (a very special quarterhorse); Denise and her beautiful (a la Fabio) black Fresian, Duce; Marianne and Sunny (another special quarterhorse-- over a quarter-century old); Jessie, Jamie, Elise, and Leah (the owner), who all share the company of Heidi, the wise schoolmaster; Marilyn, Fritz, Katie and their colorful, sweet, and large TB/draft cross Jaz; and Nikki and the opinionated Polo, a TB/Swedish warmblood cross.

Sometime or other everyone must have experienced the soothing and rejuvenating properties of earth element (Prithvi Tattva) during having a stroll in a garden or just sitting on the fresh green grass. Nature is filled with Prana Shakti, the life giving energy. We are continuously taking those energies from the nature, although not so consciously. But we all know this for sure that we just love it when we are in contact with nature. And always try to go to a some hill station or beach to rejuvenate ourselves. Right?
Earth is our compassionate patient mother.
A mother is always forgiving and caring towards her children. Earth the supporting mother for the whole human kind although facing so much abuse from her children does not stop loving them, continuously providing them with all that they need for a healthy living. Every time as I walk on the soft grass, I be completely aware that I am walking on my mother and she is lovingly supporting me. This awareness fills my being with joy and stability. How beautiful and joyous it is to know the Mother Earth, as she starts a conversation. Asking me to be filled with compassion and forgiving towards each and every being. I many times ask people in my workshops what comes to their mind when I say Earth. Seldom I get to listen Mother! It is just because we have trained to see the elements as just supporters not as living entities, which actually they are. Even though man heaps mountains of waste and pollution on Mother Earth, she gives valuable minerals and food without which man could not survive. We learn that for all the abuse, criticism and negativity we receive from world, we should give benefit of our spiritual essence and loving forgiveness
Mother Earth is waiting patiently for her children to get aware of her presence and have a conversation with them.
Hug a tree!
Have you ever hugged a tree. If no, then you have missed something magical in your life. Just let go all your apprehensions and go to a nice big tree, show your gratitude towards it for providing oxygen so that you live and fruits so that you live healthily. It is such a marvelous experience. In fact, hugging a tree is scientifically proven to improve health.
How to hug a tree:
Its always good to ask for a permission from the tree. You can ask out loud if you don’t care what others will think or just in your head. Just ask “Can I hug you?” If you feel good after asking and not creepy, just go ahead.
Wrap your hands around the tree as far as you can. Close your eyes and just feel the tree. Feel the warmth, the energy moving from the tree into you. Feel the roughness of the bark. breath deeply and be completely in a moment. Just 5 minutes and you are going to feel awesome after that
Meditating with Earth
Our habits do not let us make strong connections with Earth element. Although we can feel this strong connection and start a conversation with it easily.
Stand bare feet and firmly on green grass or moist soil. Take few deep breaths and relax completely. Now feel the flow of energy moving up from your right leg. The stable earthly energies are entering inside you through your right feet and rises up.
The energies move thorough your chakras, till your throat chakra and reaches your third eye. The energy now starts moving down and reaches throat chakra then to your heart chakra, solar plexus, sacral chakra and root chakra. The energy now enters your right leg and flowing along the right leg, the energy enters back into the earth through your right feet. The energy brings stable and peaceful energies into you and takes away your indecisiveness and fickle thoughts. This is a very simple but a wonderful exercise. You will be filled with lot of positive energy after this exercise and feel complete in all levels. The energy fills up all the energy gaps in your energy body, healing it completely. It would be great if you can do this exercise once a week.

KEITH HARING. About art. An introduction
The other night I was at the inauguration of Keith Haring at Palazzo Reale, Milan. I never studied about him at school but it is as if I had always known, so while I was in the queue I wondered “when was the first time I met him, as an artist?”. I do not know. And I think that applies to everyone.
When you describe it, the artist who makes the “little men” and uses bright colors and geometries, you understand and think “ah, yes of course, I know who he is.” I think it applies to everyone of us. The exhibition is a path that winds through thematic areas and not in a biographical way with the brilliant idea of the curator to pull over, occasionally, masterpiece from the classic era and works of other periods (Klee, Picasso), by linking artist’s ideas and influences, in am ideal dialogue with those who have preceded him.
This great American, while I was wandering between his works, made me think of other big names in American culture, as Salinger and Hemingway. They make you say “I felt this way by myself” or “I could have written by myself”, a stile that has been imitated by many over time but remained original and unmistakable. While I was admiring Haring show, I thought that many people could think ‘well, but I could do that too”: an effective style, of which he was a pioneer, and therefore unmistakable.
His art is an art that you can imagine, you look and are immediately connected with the viewer. Often the paintings are not entitled, because they don’t require it. You can grasp, as well as the prose of those writers that are so intuitive that you connect with their characters with spontaneity. The works by Haring, hearts, colors, life and men not more precisely identified with names and surnames, or for craft making, so as to be referred to as “little men”, they then talk about us in general, beyond professions and specific identity, of Man in the highest sense, humanity.
In mid show we encounter a phrase on the wall, Haring himself: “I think I was born an artist; I think I have a responsibility to do that. I learned by studying the lives of other artists and studying the world. ” An invitation to the study and preparation, but also to cultivate all that is enclosed as a potential within us and transform it in the best possible realities. Having a talent is also having the responsibility to grow it.
From 21.2.2017 to 18.06.2017

Although it may not the the 70s anymore, it's clear that inspiration comes from all eras, as the Alotof Design Group shows with their latest seating collection. Debuted at the SaloneSatellite 2010 show in Milan, each seating option adds a fun flair to furniture design in general.
Featuring shaggy, floral and overall psychedelic seating, Alotof Design Group designs something for every groove master out there. I especially see these seats as a seasonal set -- perfect for crazy summer days (and nights).

Restaurant uses Picture Frames to Enhance Dining Experience
If you’re in the restaurant or hospitality industry, you know that presentation is everything. Well, ALMOST everything. Some customers may be okay with bland environments if the food and pricing is stellar, or if it’s in a convenient neighborhood. Unfortunately, most judgements are made by customers when they first enter the restaurant, and unless they’ve heard good reviews or were recommened from friends, they won’t stick around very long unless you make a good first impression.
So how do you make a good first impression? As we mentioned before, presentation is an easy way to grab the most attention. Both interior and exterior design will help draw customers — the exterior will bring them in, while the interior keeps them content and engaged.
The exterior of the restaurant is very grounded in modern design principles, as you can see. Perspective, as well as linear structure, play a large part in what make the building so cohesive. As you’ll see below as well, the larger portion of the building has many horizontal lines that lend itself to the linear-focused design. Structurally, it’s a work of art!
Some obvious sources of inspiration for this building would include the Bauhaus movement, a school of design thought that focuses on simplicity and geometry. This isn’t going to be the look for every restaurant, but it certainly reflects the nature of the restaurant, where the food is meant to be perceived as art.
The interior of the building is also designed beautifully. Note the still-simple, open architecture, adequate lighting, and in particular, the picture frames. While everything else is very simple in the building, the framed art in particular becomes a focal point for diners. With little distraction from their food, they will be better able to focus on just that – the care and detail of the food (rather than become overwhelmed with busy atmosphere.)
Another wise decision by both designers and restaurateurs was the inclusion of framed mirrors. While the art is spectacular, the mirrors give the appearance of extra space while being non-intrusive. In some cases, the mirrors are placed in such a way to grant the viewer better ways to view their food. You can see great examples of this below:
What are some examples of either modern or classic restaurants that you’ve found? Leave a comment below and share!

So it’s noteworthy that on Friday’s program he examined a recent Pew paper and was more honest than he generally gets about immigration’s long-term weakening of the America’s culture of freedom. At the heart is the influx of left-leaning immigrants whose preference for big government with “a generous safety net” lasts through generations of residing in the United States, as shown by a graph from a 2012 Pew poll:
The current report is a brief series of charts that nevertheless pack a lot of information: 10 demographic trends that are shaping the U.S. and the world (March 31, 2016).
The chart below is first and is the headliner, containing the essence of demographic change as caused by immigration:
Here’s the audio of Limbaugh’s radio comments:
The text version below is from the Limbaugh archive:
Bye-Bye, Distinct American Culture! The Left’s Massive Demographic Shift, RushLimbaugh.com, April 01, 2016
RUSH: Okay. The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press put out this massive research product recently: “10 Demographic Trends That Are Shaping the US and the World,” and, if you go into reading these with any kind of a pessimistic attitude, you would be totally within your logical bounds to conclude that the country’s done, as you’ve known it.
There’s always gonna be an America. But it increasingly looks like it will be less and less like the America that was founded. There will always be a United States, we think. It starts out this way. “Americans are more racially and ethnically diverse than in the past, and the US is projected to be even more diverse in the coming decades. By 2055, the US will not have a single racial or ethnic majority. Much of this change has been (and will be) driven by immigration.”
Can I sum this up for you? What you’re gonna hear here, I’m gonna tell you why all of this happened. The Great Society of LBJ in 1964 coincides with Ted Kennedy demanding that immigration be reinstituted in 1965. And I am here to tell you that the problems we face today are the direct result of the Great Society being used to hide massive numbers of illegal immigration. The Great Society, of course, was founded with great compassion. It was founded, part of it, the War on Poverty. Part of it was to end the great disparities that existed economically from both groups of people, classes of people, what have you.
And of course its objectives were powerful wonderful. Oh, my goodness, so much class and so many good intentions and so much compassion. And it was all about government picking winners and losers. It set the table for affirmative action. It set the table for pretty much every destructive thing the left has come up with. The Great Society, which of course was a perverted belief that government could be the sole architect of an acceptable good and fair and just society.
And of course the premise under which it took place was that America was not good and was not nice and was not fair and only the government of Lyndon Baines Johnson would be able to fix this. So they come up with a Great Society, which a lot of people instinctively supported, “Oh, it sounds so wonderful, oh, my God, it’s just so wonderful.” And while all this is going on, illegal immigration began in droves, and it was basically hidden. What was going on in immigration happened out of sight.
Now, Pew doesn’t say any of this. Pew just talks about all this as just an act of God. This is just normal human evolution, that the racial and ethnic and religious and other demographic shifts, why, they’re just happening. No. They’re not just happening. They’re the result of policy. They’re the result of purposeful, objective policy put together by leftists. So again, by 2055, the US will not have a single racial or ethnic majority. And some people, “That would be wonderful, Mr. Limbaugh, that would be absolutely wonderful, then nobody would have an unfair advantage over anybody. Is that what you’re saying?” No, that’s not what we’re saying. It means bye-bye dominant culture. It means bye-bye distinct American culture. It means bye-bye what we all grew up in.
“Nearly 59 million immigrants have arrived in the US in the past 50 years, mostly from Latin America and Asia.” They don’t tell you how many are illegal. And then they don’t tell you about further results such as birth of illegal immigrants in America, the children of illegal immigrants. “Today, a near-record 14% of the country’s population is foreign born compared with just 5% in 1965.”
“What’s wrong with that, Limbaugh, what’s wrong with that?” You understand how it happened is what’s potentially problematic about it. It’s not just evolution. It’s not just people seeking a better life. This has been a purposeful assault on a distinct and unique American culture.
Item number two. Asia has replaced Latin America (including Mexico) as the biggest source of new immigrants to the US In a reversal of one of the largest mass migrations in modern history, net migration flows from Mexico to the US turned negative between 2009 and 2014.” But that’s because the economy plunged, there was less reason to come, and the inflow was mitigated by people leaving and going home, until they found it was time to return.
Anyway, number three. “America’s demographic changes are shifting the electorate — and American politics. The 2016 electorate will be the most diverse in US history due to strong growth among Hispanic eligible voters, particularly US-born youth.”
Well, there you go. This is precisely what everybody’s been warning about. This is exactly why all this illegal immigration hidden behind the great society has been a voter registration drive, massive voter registration drive commenced by Teddy Kennedy in 1965. It is coming to fruition.
Number four. “Millennials, young adults born after 1980, are the new generation to watch. They have likely surpassed Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) as the largest US generation and differ significantly from their elders in many ways. They are the most racially diverse generation in American history: 43% of Millennial adults are non-white, the highest share of any generation. And while they are on track to be the most educated generation to date, this achievement has come at a cost: Many Millennials are struggling with student debt.”
Exactly what I’ve been saying. They have destroyed the entire advantage and purpose of a college education by making it a millstone. You graduate with insurmountable debt. You cannot get ahead. You remain dependent on government, which now controls your student loan, by the way.
And of course the Pew Research Center, while claiming that this is the most educated generation in recent years to date, they don’t say educated with what and by whom. They don’t at all get into just what is it these young Millennials know. Do they know, for example, the Constitution was written to limit government?
All you have to do is read — take your pick. There’s some exceptions, of course. But read things written by Millennials, and without fail almost, every Republican referred to is either a joke or a pig or a racist or dangerous, certainly not somebody to be respected or taken seriously, and that is a product of education. They don’t even know what they’re saying. They’re just regurgitating the crap that they have heard, been educated with, taught, what have you.
Number five. “Women’s role in the labor force and leadership positions has grown dramatically. The labor force participation rate for American women has risen steadily since the 1960s. In fact, mothers were the sole or primary breadwinner in a record 40% of all households with children in 2011.”
Mothers were the sole or primary breadwinner in a record 40% of all households. “What is what’s wrong with that, Rush?” If you do not understand the dramatic, significant change this represents, and how it advantages liberalism in the Democrat Party — that’s all I’m saying here. You can argue whether this stuff good or bad. Remember, everything here happens under the premise that these people have got to be stopped politically. You can’t deny what is happening to our country. You can’t deny these dramatic attacks, assaults, on the very fundamental building blocks of this country.
Number six. “The American family is changing. After decades of declining marriage rates, the share of American adults who have never been married is at an historic high.” A lot of them have kids. “Two-parent households are on the decline in the US, while divorce, remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. About one-in-six American kids now live in a blended family. And the roles of mothers and fathers are converging, due in part to the rise of breadwinner moms. Dads are doing more housework and child care, while moms are doing more paid work outside the home.”
Number seven. “The share of Americans who live in middle class households is shrinking,” and that is really all you need to know about the future of economic growth, the potential for it, and the viability of the American dream. Which really was never a house. I mean, that was a symbol. The American dream, the American exceptionalism, the one place in the world, one place in the history of humanity where average, ordinary, everyday middle-class people had all kinds of opportunity to move up, to educate themselves, to earn more money, have a higher standard of living for themselves and their family.
Now even the quest for that is condemned as selfish and materialistic and so forth, but traditionally this is what people wanted. It was always for the betterment of their children. It was always to improve the lives of their kids. Everybody wanted their lives to have better lives than they did. And that was just. It was considered decent and good. Now it’s not. Now it’s selfish, it’s greedy. Now it’s not realizing daily realities that not everybody can. Now we’ve all gotta know our place. You gotta realize your lot in life may be where you’re born. No, no. That’s always the way it was everywhere else in the world.
Number eight. “Christians are declining as a share of the US population, and the number of US adults who do not identify with any organized religion has grown.”
It plays right into the hands of the American left. They can replace religion with climate change. They can replace religion with the environment in general or whatever else.
Number nine. “The world’s religious makeup will look a lot different by 2050.” I don’t have time for the details for this. We’ll post the link to this piece at RushLimbaugh.com.
RUSH: We will post, we’ll link to that Pew Research Center on the demographic shifts in the country. You go through that, each of these points, there’s much data included I didn’t share with you, didn’t read, it would take too much time. But apply it to whatever issues are happening, like the bathroom law in North Carolina or the religious freedom laws in Indiana or Georgia, apply this demographic stuff that you see in this story with all these so-called controversial things happening.
These bathroom laws are absurd! And people who haven’t even read this legislation are coming out totally in support of it, which basically lets anybody use whatever bathroom they want to use based on how they want to present that day. You’ll understand how all this is happening. And folks, it is imperative that Hillary Clinton not be elected. We have to stop it first before there can be any reversal and advancement.

Network-1 Technologies — which "works with inventors and patent owners to assist in the development and monetization of their patented technologies" — says United States District Judge Robert Schroeder III of the Eastern District of Texas has issued an order denying a motion made by Apple to certify for appeal the court's prior ruling denying Apple's motion for summary judgment.
In July the judge issued an order denying motions to dismiss the patent infringement suits filed by Mirror Worlds Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Network-1, against Apple and Microsoft. At that time, the cases against the companies were stayed pending Schroeder's opinion.
Now the judge says Apple's motion for summary judgment arguing that Mirror Worlds was precluded under the Kessler Doctrine from initiating patent litigation against Apple because of an earlier case brought by the previous owner of the Mirror Worlds patent portfolio against Apple. In July, the judge denied Apple's motion and granted Mirror Worlds' cross-motion that the Kessler Doctrine does not apply. Apple filed a motion seeking to allow it to file an interlocutory appeal (prior to a judgment) of Schroeder's order to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
In 2008 Mirror Worlds Technologies, a Texas-based company, accused Apple of violating four distinct but related patents that touch on creating “streams” of documents that are automatically sorted according to time stamps, including future dates assigned to calendars and other reminders. The company said that just about all of Apple’s product line infringes on a system for organizing data by time, “but draws its closest connection with the Time Machine backup feature in Mac OS X Leopard.”
In December 2014, Apple brought a motion for summary judgment based on the Kessler Doctrine arguing that Mirror Worlds was precluded from initiating patent litigation against Apple because of an earlier case brought by the previous owner of the Mirror Worlds patent portfolio against Apple. Schroeder denied the motion and granted Mirror Worlds' motion that there was no preclusion based on the MW1 case holding that the Kessler Doctrine didn't apply to the facts of the present Mirror Worlds case.
In early 2015, Apple and Microsoft each brought motions for a judgment on the pleadings that U.S. Patent No. 6,006,227, owned by Mirror Worlds, is invalid for covering subject matter not patentable under Section 101 of the U.S. Patent Act. This argument was based on a recent decision by the United States Supreme Court in Alice vs. CLS Bank, which has led to the invalidation of numerous U.S. patents in the months since the decision.
fIn June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Mirror Worlds' appeal of an Apple victory in a patent case, putting to rest the long-running dispute. The nation's highest court said it had denied Mirror World's request that it consider the case related to software patents for features such as Apple's Cover Flow.
Cover Flow is an animated, three-dimensional graphical user interface that is integrated within the Mac OS X and other Apple products for visually flipping through snapshots of documents, website bookmarks, album artwork, or photographs. However, with the release of version 11 of iTunes, Cover Flow was removed from the iTunes interface.

The Nature of Photographs is the essential primer of photography, not only for students but for anyone with an interest in the medium. This book grew out of a college course that Stephen Shore taught for many years. Its aim is not to explore photographic content – the subject of an image – but to describe the physical and formal attributes of a photographic print, the very elements that form the tools a photographer uses to define and interpret that content. By teaching us how to look at photographs and helping us to see the world the way the photographer may have seen it, Shore also teaches us a way of looking at the world around us.
The Nature of Photographs is a primary tool for critical analysis and the understanding of photography in general. As one of the photographers who established colour photography as a legitimate medium of artistic expression in the early 1970s and an influential and important teacher of both the theory and practice of photography, Stephen Shore is the ideal guide to the subject of ‘how’ to look at photographs. By putting himself in the shoes of the photographers, he imagines the concerns or approach to the subject or concept they may have had when they were taking the picture.
As well as a selection of Shore’s own work, The Nature of Photographs contains images from all eras of photography, from classic images by Walker Evans, Brassai and Eugène Atget to more contemporary work by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Cindy Sherman, Joel Sternfeld, Thomas Struth, Richard Prince and Andreas Gursky. It includes all genres, such as street photography, fine art photography and documentary photography, as well as images by unknown photographers, be they in the form of a snapshot from the early days of photography or an aerial photograph taken as part of a geographical survey. Shore has selected images by, among others, Eugène Atget, Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, William Eggleston and Robert Adams, and offers an explanation as to how they ‘work’. Together with his clear, intelligent and accessible text, Shore uses these works to demonstrate how the world in front of the camera is transformed into a photograph.

The San Francisco 49ers know they will be down a top receiver after Michael Crabtree was injured in the offseason and after working out Austin Collie previously, the team is looking at him as a potential replacement for the star on offense.
According to NFL.com, the former Colts receiver worked out for the team last month and that he could be added to the team once training camp gets closer. Collie would join Anquan Boldin, Kyle Williams as well as young stars A.J. Jenkins, Quinton Patton, Marlon Moore and Ricardo Lockette while Mario Manningham is coming back from a knee injury. The report says that Collie is coming back from knee and concussion injuries and that kept him out of all but one game last season with the Colts. Collie has had three concussions during that time and he said that he would sign a waiver to play for a team again. Collie was a solid option for the Colts until he was injured and now he is looking for a new roster to join.

Collie has dealt with injuries and concussions while missing 22 games over three seasons, but he is ready to return and if he signs he could be an interesting option for Colin Kaepernick in the slot. Collie has made over 170 catches during his career with 16 touchdowns and he has played in 42 regular season games with nearly 2,000 receiving yards. The 49ers need some help at the position after Crabtree's injury and the team also has Anquan Boldin, former first round pick AJ Jenkins as well as n Mario Manningham and rookie Quinton Patton. Collie had some good years with Peyton Manning with the Colts and he could be a huge addition for the 49ers.
ESPN compared the stats for Collie and Crabtree and amazingly enough they are not that far off from each other over 2009 to 2011 before Collie was hurt, as both played in over 40 games, with Crabtree in 42 and Collie in 41. Crabtree had three more receptions than Collie for about 300 more yards, but apart from that, the stats are fairly even, with Collie having four more touchdowns and a slightly less average per catch. The fact that the two are close bodes well for Collie, but only if he can prove to the team that he is healthy. The 49ers could use a player like him in their offense with Colin Kaepernick and while Boldin will be like a number one now, the team needs some depth.

WASHINGTON — It’s put-up or shut-up time for Republicans.
After a tumultuous decade that has seen profound changes in the makeup and character of their party, Republicans are poised to complete their slow but steady climb back to power as they seize control of the House, Senate and the White House for the first time since 2006.
That political triad will leave them with a splendid opportunity for success. But there is little room for failure if they hope to satisfy their impatient constituents and deliver on bold promises to reshape the nation’s health care delivery system, restructure the tax code, drive job creation, muscle up American foreign policy, rebuild a crumbling infrastructure and set America on a new course.
Republicans who will take command of the Senate and House as the 115th Congress convenes on Tuesday have long been itching for a chance to do it their way, constantly grousing that President Obama and Congressional Democrats held back American progress and economic growth.
Now they must show they can deliver. And they know it.
“When you have both houses and the presidency, there is no acceptable excuse for not passing major legislation,” said Representative Tom Cole, a senior Republican from Oklahoma. “There is a lot of pressure on Republican members to produce and to produce quickly.”
That will not be easy. There is a mutual wariness between many Republicans in Congress and President-elect Donald J. Trump, leaving it unclear how often their interests and priorities will coalesce or collide. Some of the biggest fights might well be between Republicans on Capitol Hill and the White House occupied by a man who campaigned against the establishment and some of the very Republicans running Congress.
Republicans must also maneuver while facing slightly expanded Democratic minorities in the House and Senate, in a climate that is, in many respects, even more hostile than it was before the November elections. Democrats remain angry at how Republicans treated President Obama, including their refusal to consider the nomination of federal Judge Merrick B. Garland to the United States Supreme Court.
Democrats want payback for the cold shoulder given to Mr. Garland’s nomination to satisfy themselves and to show their supporters that they are not going to roll over for the new Republican government. While they cannot employ the filibuster to block most nominations, they still retain it for Supreme Court picks and legislation — at least for now.
Perhaps most important, Republicans themselves are going to need something of an attitude adjustment. The contemporary Republican Party has been built out of fierce opposition to Mr. Obama and deep disdain for activist government. Nearly two-thirds of current House Republicans have never served with a Republican president and their entire time in Washington has been spent fighting the executive branch.
As a result, Republicans have had the luxury of being able to argue for positions that appealed to their conservative base but that they knew would not become law because Senate Democrats would block them or because the president would veto them. Now, if they can assemble the votes, their ideas will become law — with all the attendant consequences.
Republicans who have shied from the responsibility of government will now be called upon to support increases in the debt limit, approve annual budgets, endorse spending bills and back other must-pass measures that they formerly left to the Democrats and some of their more compromising colleagues. With Democrats unlikely to help on many of those votes after being castigated for them by Republicans, the Republicans who belonged to the “vote no, hope yes” caucus when it came to critical legislation in recent years now will have to vote yes and hope things go well.
This isn’t the same style of Republican majority pushed from power after being routed in the 2006 midterm elections after the public backlash to the administration of President George W. Bush and his handling of the war in Iraq.
Forged by the Tea Party revolt that restored Republicans to control of the House in the 2010 elections, and in the Senate in 2014, this party is much more conservative with a membership that tends to see government as an impediment to be leveled, not as a force to be shaped to their views to the benefit of their constituents. Eight years of railing against the Obama administration has infused them and their constituents with a hostility and disregard for the government that Republicans must now lead rather than ridicule.
Tensions could arise between House and Senate Republicans as well. When the Newt Gingrich-led party took over the House in 1995 for the first time in four decades, newly empowered Republicans sent a raft of legislation to the Senate, only to see it stall there. With President Bill Clinton in the White House at the time, Republicans knew much of it would not be enacted. Now, with Mr. Trump soon to occupy the Oval Office, it is unlikely that House Republicans will be willing to watch Democrats bottle up legislation in the Senate. Demands that their Senate counterparts eliminate the filibuster could mount quickly.
While they understand the challenges, Republicans are nonetheless jubilant at their enviable position.
“A Republican in the White House and a Republican majority in Congress present tremendous opportunity to make real progress,” Senator Cory Gardner, Republican of Colorado, said in the party’s weekly radio address on Saturday. “We assume that responsibility with the promise that we’ll work hard to do everything that we can to deliver more opportunities to Americans tomorrow than they have today.”
“I am pretty giddy,” said Mr. Cole as he looked ahead.
Republicans have won their chance. Now it is time to see what they can do with it.

The Lebanese poet and novelist Kahlil Gibran writes,
“Beauty is not in the face;Â Beauty is a light in the heart.”
When I encounter beautiful strangers, I think it is to this light I am responding, the reason I feel compelled to compliment unique individual people, my own little Namaste.
During recent travels, I encountered a lovely, unique person in the expansive paradise that is Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon. I was wandering the stacks with a friend when we found ourselves discussing metaphysical texts, and a passing stranger joined in our conversation.
For me, allowing myself to open my heart to the beauty of another person requires a shift into a certain mindset, a sense of wonder and appreciation of the inherent goodness, dignity and worth of others. In the midst of a hectic day, say, at work or in line at the bank, this appreciation is harder to come by. However, the setting for this particular encounter was completely conducive to open mind and heart.
Powell’s, this specific location, is a marvel. Â Level after level of stacks present to the eye, in a seemingly unending number of rooms, up and down staircases, all color coded to guide the visitor to his/her desire. As a first-time patron, I had already spent serious time drifting wide-eyed from room to room, stopping to ooh-and-ahh every few feet. The City knows the captivating power of its vastness:
“Any minute now an owl will swoop out of the ceiling, snatch a paperback from one of the Endcaps, and make off to read in peace somewhere in Reference. Owls live here, you can sense it.”
So, this was a lovely encounter with a stranger, who is indeed beautiful, in awe-inspiring setting. We talked for a long time, a spirited and intelligent conversation, and before we parted ways, both my companion and I felt compelled to tell Jeremy how beautiful he is.
Have you told anyone they’re beautiful today?

Rome and Carthage Sign Peace Treaty Ending Punic Wars After 2,131 YearsHABIB FAKHRI , Associated Press
Feb. 5, 1985 1:12 PM ET
TUNIS, TUNISIA TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) _ More than 2,000 years ago the Romans overpowered the Carthaginians, razed their ancient capital, plowed its ruins into the earth and sowed the soil with salt so nothing could grow again. On Tuesday, modern Rome and Carthage finally signed a peace treaty bringing the Punic Wars to an end.
The treaty and an accompanying pact of friendship and cooperation were signed in a government villa by Ugo Vetere, the mayor of Rome, and Chedli Klibi, mayor of modern Carthage, which was rebuilt over the centuries on the ruined site in North Africa.
Vetere and Klibi, who is secretary-general of the Arab League, said the idea of concluding a peace treaty between the once warring cities dated from the 1960s.
Carthage, now a suburb of the Tunisian capital, was founded by Phoenicians from Tyre in the 9th century B.C. and became a powerful trading state, controlling North West Africa and much of the Mediterranean.
Rome was conquering Italy and the two first clashed over Sicily in 264-241 B.C. - the first of three Punic Wars that pitted the two commercial powers in a battle for dominance of the Mediterranean for 118 years.
When the Carthaginians invaded Spain in 219 B.C., Rome declared the second war, one of the titanic struggles of history. Hannibal, the great Carthaginian general, led his troops with elephants and a full supply train across the Alps in an attempt to conquer Italy, but was finally defeated in Africa in 202 B.C.
In 157 B.C., the Roman senator Cato the Elder visited Carthage, which was still a rich mercantile power. Returning to Rome, he ended every speech in the Senate with the phrase: ''Delenda est Carthago'' (Carthage must be destroyed).
Rome started the Third Punic War in 149 B.C., alleging a breach of treaty. After their final victory in 146 B.C., the Romans razed the city.
But on the ground where nothing was ever to grow again, a Roman city was built a hundred years later, to become in time an Arab center.
Now, Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba's seafront palace borders major archaeological sites at Carthage where teams from nine nations, coordinated by the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization are exploring the ruins.
Bourguiba received Vetere at the palace after Tuesday's signing ceremony, telling him the peace treaty would ''wipe out the memory of the old Punic Wars between Carthage and Rome and contribute to reinforcing the relations of friendship and cooperation between the two cities.''
Bourguiba, 82, said ''the Mediterranean must remain a haven of peace and well-being.'' The Mediterranean, replied Vetere, now is a meeting point ''not only for the nations of the region but for the whole world.''

View Full Version : 3pin or 4pin case fan?
02-01-2001, 07:58 AM
hi, the mobo I am about to buy (FIC AZ11E) has only one connector for a "smart" (temperature control) case fan but I`ll need 2 fans for my case: the rear (52mm) and the front (80mm). Which one do you recommend to put under temperature control? (the "smart" one) the rear or the front?
02-01-2001, 08:12 AM
By 'smart' I assume you mean the ability to vary the rpm of the fan. With only a 52mm fan as exhaust you'll need every last rpm you can squeeze out of it, so don't even think about slowing it down. Which leaves your front 80mm...
02-02-2001, 08:28 AM
I'll second that...
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines!

Before I begin I would like to say a few things:
- I do not know much about business practices.
- I may be wrong about some facts. If I am please tell me.
- This is heavily opinion based.
- The articles used for this post are from:
Again this is opinion based, so do not take all of my thoughts or speculations as facts.
Alright, with all that information out of the way. So, I am going to talk about my overall thoughts, I am cautious with this. I may be glad, but I am certainly cautious. New things can be both scary and wonderful.
So, from what I gather, Crunchyroll will be able to stream Funimation’s shows on a seasonal basis. They even obtained a few streaming rights, in sub, to older Funimation shows. I doubt they will get more than this for Funimation’s older series. Right now, for the ones that interests me, are Pysho-pass and Cowboy Bebop. If they get more shows from like a decade or more ago on Crunchyroll it will surprise me. Yes, Crunchyroll has obtained streaming rights, one I am currently watching, Cat’s Eye for example. That anime came out in the 80s.
Upon looking more into it more Crunchyroll will be getting more of Funimations show that are subs over time. I am uncertain how this will fully play out. Funimation stated that some of their subbed shows will stay on Funimation due to licensing. So, I guess it really depends how much and what shows. Again I am uncertain how old of the series they will put on Crunchyroll. Plus since some of Funimation shows in sub are for subscribers only it is uncertain if it will stay this way once they go to Crunchyroll.
Funimation will be dubbing some shows from Crunchyroll that Crunchyroll has. I doubt all of Crunchyroll’s line up will be dubbed. But Funimation is dubbing nearly all of their shows from the current summer season, so who knows. Funimation is in charge of most of Crunchyroll’s dubs now, the exception is most of the ones Crunchyroll announced in July.
Funimation is said to lower their price for their subscriptions, their dubs to see past the first episode you need to be a subscriber. They state that their subs for the season will migrate to Crunchyroll. Now, will Funimation become pure simuldub, I honestly do not think so. This is again mostly since some shows rights. But they may become pure dub or working on it.
I only doubt this since, again most people would need to pay to see just the dubs. I think the subs will also be their while still being on Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll’s dubs will be on Funimation. So there will be more dubs on Funimation and a lower price. So, maybe they could stay all dub. They have two separate pay systems, one for just dubs and one for just subs, this being cheaper than both.
Free users, like myself, will have to wait a week regardless for subs, and it was not said if Funimation will change it for people to view their dubs. Since you can only see the first episode for their simuldubs. Older shows that they have it is a 50/50 chance you can watch it either all dub and sub.
Also since Crunchyroll does not have hardsubs like Funimation, you get Crunchyroll’s video player still on Crunchyroll for shows that are from Funimation.
MORE THAN ANYTHING, AS LONG AS ANIME VIEWING REMAINS FREE, even if I have to wait a week, I AM FINE WITH THIS. Mostly since I watch subs, so I will be just on Crunchyroll.
They say they are doing this with the consumer in mind. As long as they keep in mind both the people who are free users and are subscribers this can be very beneficial.
Now, I am a little worried. They said this was to compete with Netflix, Hulu, and stuff. But Hulu said they are stopping with anime, and the last one they got to stream, which was licensed by Funi, was in the spring season. To top it off, all other sites you now need to pay to view their series. Funimation and Crunchyroll have a free option, yes you have to wait a week, get ads, and more, but it is still free.
The only real threat I see is Netflix. Their anime is very limited, and they only get one show a season, and that is if they feel like it. Right now if Netflix decided to get serious with their anime then anime would probably become more mainstream, and Crunchyroll and Funimation only have the fact they are free. Netlfix would become a threat. Netflix currently only releases their anime after they finish airing, so no weekly option like the other two.
Funimation and Crunchyroll specialize in anime. The other companies may be much bigger, but not only do not specialize in anime but do not focus on that one niche. So, unless they get serious and target those audiences the this leads to the main streaming serves of Crunchyroll and Funimation. There may be other legal streaming sources that specialize in anime, however their catalog is either too small or focuses on older anime. Daisuki for example may have older shows, but all the shows they stream are also by Funimation on a seasonal basis. They are adding older shows, but their catalog is still small and you need to pay to see those unlike Funimation and Crunchyroll. Personally I like Daisuki since I can watch shows in full HD and not have to pay unlike the other two sites, I just wait a week like Funimation and Crunchyroll to watch it.
So, now because Funimation and Crunchyroll are teaming up there is little to no competition. This is a scary factor, since they could do anything. They are staying separate companies, so they could stop this at any time. They say, and as I stated several times, they are doing this with the consumer in mind, but it is clear both companies will profit a lot.
Funimation and Crunchyroll will be producing more dubs, and getting more stuff out there in general. All my anime I own is from Funimation. They are affordable to me. I can get all 12 episodes of a series for about 40 dollars both sub and dub and on DVD and BluRay. Other companies you may get sub and dub, but you get a lot of extras and the price is typically doubled. Yes, they have the lack of extra’s option, but it is still expensive. You also have to choose between DVD or BluRay and not get both. So, in terms of selling anime, as long as they continue to do this, now with Crunchyroll titles, I will be glad I do not have to fork over 100 bucks just for half a show. I can walk into a store and buy an anime I enjoy.
I am cautious with this. At any moment it could screw over the people who watch for free. This would then push people to illegal means to view anime. This hurts the industry in many ways. Crunchyroll says they will always stay free, so there is hope they stay true to this word. I mean granted the second I get a job I am getting a subscription to more than likely Crunchyroll.
Now, with this, Crunchyroll would like to work on getting all shows airing for streaming rights. This can help put a stop to illegal sites. Some shows that are not picked up that are airing are seen by these means. Yes, there are very very few and fewer each season. But this partnership will help. If it works out, then companies in Japan, who previously did not give the streaming rights, may do so. So this could turn into something very good. The only reason people would complain is waiting a week when they do not want to pay.
So more anime is always good.
It stays free: Again, free user, I don’t mind waiting a week, I don’t mind ads. Sure I would like at least basic HD, but I got used to 480p. As long as it stays like this, at least for subs, I am fine with this. If Funimation starts allowing dubs to be viewed past the first episode, in a similar setup. I may pick up dubs again. Older shows I may watch dubs, but I have not seen any simuldubs because of this.
Certainly I hope Funimation does this. They want to get Simuldubs out faster. Maybe instead of having to wait a week, maybe wait two for free users. Maybe they could do this with a bare minimum Crunchyroll’s shows. But who knows what their plans are. I will certainly see the subs before dubs. But if an option like this happens, it just means more ad revenue and maybe even more people buying a subscription to both still.
It was said that this was so people do not have to choose, but you still do for sub or dub. So, maybe something like this will happen. Since it sounds like Funimation will focus more on dubs and Crunchyroll just focusing on subs.
I might have started talking about some worries, and although those are all true. The biggest one is probably obvious now: NO MORE FREE OPTION.
I think in Canada, and after looking it up, Crunchyroll this year got rid of their free option sort of. After shows air it will only be available for 13 weeks then it is premium only. Everything else in their catalog is premium only.
Information here for previous paragraph: Crunchyroll Forum
Now, I do not rewatch shows often, but I do not want that to happen. The only show in the US catalog for Crunchyroll that is premium only, is Card Captor Sakura. I do not like the idea, especially since I sometimes fall behind weeks, only to miss my chance at a show. Or find out a show is good, only to not be able to watch it because of this. Sometimes I wait until a show ends to watch it all, or get busy and not catch up until the next season begins.
Sorry people in Canada, I just do not want to see that happen here. It feels like this would hurt anime as a whole if they were to make this happen again. I think there were other reasons behind this in Canada, such as not many free viewers or some other reason. I think it dealt more with lack of viewers or some problem in Canada, again I am uncertain.
One reason why I think this is a good idea for the partnership is to combat piracy. If you limit the availability of the content, then nothing is going to change. It would only hurt everyone in the long run. As long as they keep it how it is now and still watch for free, then this could be great. If more options appear to appeal to more people, like maybe same day as premiums for viewing, just not in HD, ads, and maybe a delay by a few hours.
Now, my only other fear is the fact this goes bad. It goes really bad. It has a lot of potential to be a good thing. They can do whatever against other companies I mean, Sentai already hardly picks up anything anymore and that is after Crunchyroll streams it. So as long as they do not screw the consumer, aka us, over, I am fine with this. Funimation is lowering their subscription price, Crunchyroll is staying the same, but both are getting more content.
Both already have a free option to watch older shows and shows that are airing. It makes it accessible to everyone. More people watch legally for free still generates ad revenue which gives both companies support so they can then do more with anime they get. This also helps the industry as a whole in Japan. Putting and keeping the consumer in mind will be more beneficial in the long run than trying to screw everyone over all at once.
Things staying free, anime being easier to buy, and more anime in general is not bad. Having a wider and stronger form of access to anime for free is a great way to put an end to piracy and support the official release. This is certainly something that could be really good and a winning situation for Crunchyroll, Funimation, the consumers, and anime in general.
This fall season will really test this to its full ability. Sure it will be in the early stages. But by the time next year we may really love how this turned out, we may really hate it, or maybe it was not as big as we all hoped.
It is certainly too soon for anything. Initial news that is certainly a thing to by hyped for. But it is best to stay cautious. Just because it sounds good does not mean it is good. Right now since it is in its very early stages it is best to stay cautious. Once we know more than it is certainly something to by hyped for or get more worried about. But as the said they want to keep the consumer in mind, as long as they do this it will be something for the better for all of us.
So, feel free to give your thoughts on this? Do you think this is good, bad, or are still cautious?
As always I hope you enjoyed.

|Session Name:||Game Engines in Game Education: Thinking Inside the Tool Box?|
|Speaker(s):||Sebastian Deterding, Casey O'Donnell|
|Company Name(s):||University of York, Michigan State University|
|Track / Format:||GDC Education Summit|
Should apprentices of a craft master one tool, making themselves dependent on it? Or become fluent in many? Should they use pre-made parts? Or should they learn how to make everything from scratch, even if that doesn't reflect actual practice? These eternal questions of craft education have become relevant for game educators with the rise of game engines like Unity.
This talk will reveal firsthand experiences and strategies used to deal with the opportunities and challenges of integrating game engines in game education.

There’s been a lot of hype about Samsung’s ridiculously high-resolution ISOCELL sensors, particularly their most recent 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP1 and ISOCELL HP3 sensors. While there have been at least one confirmed devices coming that contain the ISOCELL HP1, we haven’t seen any images shot with them yet.
Well, now that’s changed as Chen Jin, General Manager of Motorola China has posted a photo that he says was shot using the 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HP1 found in the triple camera setup of the Moto Edge 30 Ultra. It’s not the full 200-megapixel resolution, though. It uses the 4-in-1 pixel binning mode to produce a 50-megapixel result, but that’s still pretty nuts for a smartphone.

MANILA - The Association of General and Flag Officers (AGFO) on Friday denounced the trial by publicity being heaped by militant groups against retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan after his arrest last Tuesday.
In a statement, AGFO President, retired Lt.Gen. Edilberto P. Adan, said Palparan should be given the right to defend himself in court.
"Let him have his day in court and defend himself against his accusers. He is entitled to due process. Our justice system presumes that he is innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law," he said.
Adan added that the case of Palparan should not be linked to politics.
"Professional soldiers like Maj. Gen. Palparan faced hardships and risks, and had put his life on the line like countless Filipino soldiers in the service of the country, starting as a junior officer in the 1970s. His courage and leadership had saved lives and protected communities. His sacrifices should be taken into account," he said.
"If he had abused his power and authority or committed any crime against anyone as the militants claim, then allow him to face his accusers, and they should present evidence for evaluation by competent authorities so that justice maybe served. Lest we forget, this is how it works in a democracy," Adan added.
He explained that branding Palparan as a "berdugo" will not help the quest for justice, adding that the 'real enemies' are those who resort to violence and intimidation for personal gain.
"We sympathize with the families of the victims of this long running insurgency whether they are civilians or soldiers. But branding Maj. Gen. Palparan as a 'berdugo' and playing it up in the media does not help the quest for justice. We should not forget that the real enemies are those who resort to violence and intimidation to achieve their selfish political ends. In many societies, such actions are considered acts of terrorism, and those who commit them, terrorists", Adan said.

The NDP have grossly underestimated the cost of their proposed changes at City Hospital in Saskatoon. They pegged the cost of 40 more acute care beds at $16.6 million. The actual cost is more like $66 million.
That's because the NDP estimated the cost of an acute care bed at $355 per day. The Ministry of Health and Canadian Institute for Health Information confirm the approximate cost of an acute bed in Saskatchewan is $1,303 per day.
We’ve seen this before. The NDP makes big promises in election campaigns on health care and then fail to deliver, like when they closed 1,000 hospital beds.
Here’s our record:
- $1.2 billion in health care infrastructure, including a new Children’s Hospital, the new Moose Jaw hospital, a new Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford and 15 new long-term care facilities.
- From the longest to now the shortest surgical waits in Canada
- Progress on ER waits
The NDP do so much talk on health care but have absolutely no record or ability to deliver. Let’s never go back.

What Type of Web Hosting Plan is Suitable for Your Online Business?
Choosing a suitable web hosting for your online business is a long term commitment. You must choose wisely based on your traffic needs and budget. Taking a high-end cost web hosting plan for a new startup website with no or little traffic is totally overkill if you ask me. There are several types of web hosting plans available in the market. The main types of web hosting plans in the market are shared hosting, VPS hosting and dedicated hosting.
Shared hosting is an economical option for webmasters who want need a cheap hosting to host their websites. Shared hosting is low cost and suitable for people who just launch their online businesses. It comes with readily installed applications which you can use to install different types of scripts on your website easily. It is not suitable for webmasters that want to have access to the entire server. Most shared hosting uses control panels such as cPanel, and Plesk. Some web hosting companies will provide a control panel system that they developed themselves for the webmasters. There are many web hosting companies offering unlimited storage and bandwidth for customers. Before buying, make sure you check with the provider about the real limit of the unlimited hosting plan so that you know how much resources are actually allotted to you.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is a server which can be divided into many compartments. Each webmaster can restart its own compartment in the VPS server without affecting other compartments. This allows it to operate like a dedicated server. The advantage is that your website will be more secure from hackers or spam websites. In a shared hosting environment, your website may be affected if one of the website on the server happened to be attacked by virus. It will not happen on a VPS server because only the particular container will be shut down when it is affected. VPS hosting is great for people who cannot afford to pay the expensive cost of a dedicated hosting plan.
Dedicated hosting is suitable for webmaster that require a lot of resources such as disk space, bandwidth CPU and memory. Dedicated hosting may be expensive but it offers a lot of benefit. It offers higher reliability and security. It offers better uptime percentage and server response time. It allows you to have more control over the server. You can choose from 3 types of dedicated hosting including managed, semi managed and unmanaged dedicated hosting services. If you don’t have staff with IT expertise, you should choose a managed dedicated hosting plan so that the web host can maintain the server on your behalf. Managed dedicated hosting plans usually come with control panel that allows you to easily manage your website. Unmanaged dedicated hosting plans are cheaper as webmasters will not be receiving support from the web hosting company.
Alternatively, you may also look at free site hosting available on the market if you don’t want to pay for web hosting at first or you just need a simple resource to host your website. Upgrades are commonly available on these free web hosting provider which you can do at anytime in the future.

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Rose Muskissime is a sophisticated fruity-floral perfume. Plus, I love to say the name “Rose Must Kiss a Me.”
Rose Muskissime reminds me of a living rose….with tropical fruits. I pick up pineapple and ripe papaya. The black currant is gorgeous in this. In the heart, I get the green rose and carnation, the fruits become more subtle. The dry down wears closely to the skin and smells like salty skin musk. Rose M. is on holiday and she’s not going to check her email.
Notes listed include Morroccan rose, passion fruit, mango, papaya, black currant, carnation, iris, sandalwood, ambergris and musk. Launch date 1988.
Give Rose Muskissime a try if you are looking for a fruity rose. Or if you like perfumes like Diptyque Eau Rose, Annick Goutal Rose Splendide, Caron Delire de Roses, Juliette Has a Gun Miss Charming and/or CREED Spring Flower. This is a good rose perfume for spring/summer wear.
Rose Muskissime has average projection and below average projection; however, it is an EDT.
The 3.4 oz EDT retails for $130 at Luckyscent.
Victoria’s Final EauPINION – Rose on holiday on the beaches of Brazil. It’s a fun, fruity rose.

Meals, Campsites, Amenities, and More
An Idaho Afloat Trip is a unique adventure. Time stops rushing by for the sweet space of your vacation, and nature reclaims her rightful place as the dominant element of your daily routine.
About Our Campsites
Campsite Gear and Amenities
Rafts are great for carrying all kinds of gear, and the river industry has perfected the kinds of amenities that we all like to have on our camping trip. Expect portable tables, comfy camp chairs, real dinnerware, real utensils, wine glasses, a full traveling kitchen, and a grand tarp for cover and shade, at each campsite.
If you haven’t ever been camping, or it’s been a long time since your boy scout or girl scout camp-outs, you are in for a real treat with an Idaho Afloat river camping vacation. We provide the tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads and our guides will set them up for you each day upon arrival to camp.
Tents are roomy 2 person Alp Mountaineering Outfitter tents with rain fly and plenty of room for gear. Our sleeping pads are “Paco Pads”. These pads are the best for river trips: they are comfortably thick, fabulously large (not for backpackers! ) and easily carried on our gear rafts.
Guests ask us about how to handle recharging batteries, are there showers, what about bathrooms, etc. Please see our Rafting FAQs for more information on these.
Meals on our Idaho Afloat river trips are exceptional! Our guides love to share their outdoor cooking skills and offer up gourmet meals, lovely appetizers, refreshing beverages, and delicious desserts on all our trips. Here are some examples of what you can expect on your trip:
Breakfast Examples: Choice of Continental Breakfast (fresh fruit, cereal, pastries/breads), Scromlets, and Walnut Pancakes, bottomless cups of robust, fair trade coffees, teas, and hot chocolate.
Lunch Examples: Hearty Deli Sandwiches with a variety of salads, Pasta Salad, Chicken Caesar Salad, Three Bean Salad, Taco Salad. Hot and cold beverages.
Appetizers: (Delightfully served upon arrival to camp each afternoon!) Fresh Vegetables and Dip, Shrimp Cocktail, Spinach Rolls, Cheese and Fruit assortments, wine, beer, and hot and cold non-alcoholic beverages.
Dinner Examples: Sizzling Fajitas and salad, Grilled Steak and Pork Chops, Roast Potatoes, fresh garden salads, Korean Ribs w/ spinach salad and Cornbread, Steak & Pasta with Romain Salad, Cranberry Chicken w/ Steamed Veggies and salad, Steak & Penne Pasta, Mahi Mahi w/ Mango Salsa and Salad.
Dessert Examples: Dutch Oven Brownies, River Smash, Dutch Oven Spice Cake, Strawberry shortcake, Cheese cake, Dutch Oven Cobblers
River Trip Packing List:
What to bring, (and perhaps more importantly, what you do not need to bring!)
This list below is for 3 days in July and August.

For the 4-6 Day Trips, add maybe a couple more items, but remember that on the river you want to pack light and can wear the same thing several times. You can always rinse clothes in the river and quickly air-dry them, thanks to the dry, hot Idaho summer climate.
What You Supply

Like everyone else on Spring Break, I dream of drinking lime-laced Corona in the sun. What I’ve got instead are temperatures hovering in the 20s and over 10” of snow. Outside, chickadees, juncos and one rare ringed-necked turtle dove are frantic at the feeder as the sky fills and refills with thick white flakes: Welcome to spring in the mountains.
It’s true my spring break won’t be celebrated with the kind of fun you get with beaches and beers, but still I’m hoping to decompress from the duel pressure cookers of teaching and my mother’s illness and take a long, much-needed inhale. So I put on Vivaldi and dream of seeds slumbering in the earth, and think of recipes that require me to cultivate the same kind of stillness and patience. I land on something lighter than traditional pancakes that will wake up my food sensibility to spring and still make me feel cozy during the storm.
Lemon Soufflé Pancakes are delicate and fluffy, but like their namesake, can be fiddly. The trick is to make and served them quickly to keep them from losing their lift. But, they’re perfect when you want to slow down and treat yourself or someone you love.
I begin by separating two eggs into separate bowls. Into the yolk bowl goes ricotta cheese, lemon zest and a bit of juice, a pinch of salt and baking powder, and a couple of table spoons of flour and sugar (Lemon souffle pancakes). This mixture, when combined, is thick and deeply lemon in color and taste. Frankly, I could eat it by the finger-full. Next, I whip the whites with a bit more sugar and a pinch of cream of tartar before folding the whites into the lemon ricotta bowl. The result is a pillowy concoction that looks exactly like a pre-cooked soufflé.
Drop this mixture about a 1/3 cup at a time into a heated fry pan. The pan should be hot; you want the cakes to cook fast so they retain their fluff, but not so fast they over-brown or blacken. Too slow, and the pancakes lose their frothiness. I let the cakes one by one, using a thin metal spatula to carefully turn each and then place them in a warm oven.
|Lemon Souffle Pancakes with Blueberries|
When they’re done, I sprinkle the pancakes with powdered sugar and fresh blueberries, and sit down with a streaming cup of coffee, watching as the snow continues to thicken the trees. The first bite is pure pleasure: a weightless combination of sweet lemon and delicate ricotta. My mouth fills and empties as each bite melts away into sheer taste. Outside, the world is quiet, and for one moment, so am I.

We'd rather have a box of Eco Pops
This innovative change from externally sourcing product to in-house production has cut out 24,000 kilometres of lorry miles travelled per year in the UK. This saves 19 tonnes of C02 emissions being produced, every year.
Jeremy Davies, engineering manager from the Process Improvement team says, “By producing our own packaging pops, we’ve reduced the 100 truck deliveries of expanded Eco Flo down to just four truck deliveries of corn starch pellets every year.”
To make Eco Pops, small but mighty pellets of cornstarch are mixed with a dash of vegetable oil and extruded under high pressure and heat. Under these hot and steamy conditions, the starch starts expanding into those protective puffy shapes we know and love and has similar properties to polystyrene.
Back when we were forming popcorn, motors would heat the air which then caused the kernels to pop. In the Eco Pops process, the heat is generated by friction and transferred directly to the starch, saving considerable energy in comparison.
Once expanded, just one 700kg bag of pellets makes enough protective Eco Pops to fill a whole articulated lorry. Unlike plastic packaging nuggets, Eco Pops biodegrade quickly in water and soil and are better at keeping your products secure against impact during transit than their polystyrene counterparts.
This makes them brilliant for safely transporting all your Lush favourites direct to your doorstep. If your willpower is strong enough to save your products for another day, they’re also great for storage - just scoop a handful into a spare box, drawer or makeup bag before nestling everything in for later use.
Eco Pops might not be particularly colourful or glamorous, but they’re the apple of our eye. Want to see how it all works? You can take a peek at Lush UK’s eco-packaging systems here.

Killer of RIT instructor gets life sentence
- Henry was convicted of first-degree murder for robbing and shooting Edline Chun%2C 73%2C on Feb. 3
- Chun was an adjunct professor at RIT%27s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences
- Henry%27s girlfriend Natalie Johnson%2C 27%2C was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison
A Rochester man continued to deny that he robbed and killed his childhood neighbor last winter as he was sentenced to life in prison in state Supreme Court Tuesday morning.
Jerrell B. Henry, 29, last month was convicted of first-degree murder for robbing and shooting Edline Chun, 73, inside her Hazelwood Terrace home on Feb. 3, then dumping her body in Tryon Park. Chun, a popular instructor at the Rochester Institute of Technology and well-known community activist, was found at the bottom of a ravine in the park by county maintenance workers on Feb. 6.
Justice Francis A. Affronti said in court that he wished he could require Henry, who he called a "callous, cold-heartened, sadistic individual" and "a devil in disguise," to serve more than the maximum prison term.
"Life without parole is too good for you," Affronti told Henry. "You deserve so much more ...You brought about the death of a lady who still had so much more to give, and you don't care."
Henry forced his way into Chun's home on Feb. 3, tied her up, forced her to call her bank and transfer money between accounts and sign several checks. Henry took jewelry and other property and shot Chun twice in the head with her own rifle. He later moved Chun's body to Tryon Park.
"She was thrown over an embankment like a piece of garbage," Affronti said. "No human being should ever be treated like that."
Henry, along with his girlfriend Natalie Johnson, 27, also stole Chun's car, the same vehicle he was riding in when his electronic GPS monitoring anklet led Rochester police to the car one day after Chun's body was found.
Johnson was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder for her role in Chun's death and last month was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison. Henry's own conviction followed a two-weeklong trial last month.
Chun was an adjunct professor at RIT's College of Imaging Arts and Sciences, where she taught professional and technical writing for more than 20 years. She also was an active volunteer, belonging to about a dozen community organizations.
Henry, a convicted felon conditionally released from prison in December 2012, had lived next door to Chun for years before he went to prison at age 18 for a 2003 carjacking.
Henry, who was handcuffed and surrounded by deputies in court, did not apologize for his actions or mention Chun. He thanked family and friends for their support and told Affronti he planned to appeal the case.
Chun's friend Victoria Visiko said she never expected an apology from Henry and isn't sure she will ever feel a sense of closure.
"We will carry the love she had for life," she said. "She will remain strong in our hearts forever."
Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles, who prosecuted the case with ADA James Egan, said he was "pleased with the sentence, but not happy with how we got there."
Duckles said he was repeatedly stopped by passing strangers to learn how Chun had touched their lives.
"They told me how she affected people and what she did to make this community a better place," he said. "It was really eye-opening. It's something we should all strive to do with our own lives."
Tribute to Edline Chun
Friends have organized a tribute to Edline Chun on the first anniversary of her death. A celebration of her life will be held at the Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave., Rochester, from 7 to 10 p.m. on Feb 3, 2014.

* * * * *The Canucks have made it through the first two rounds of playoffs. I was 11 years old the last time they made it this far in the playoffs. I am feeling very clenchy about the Canucks right now. I love them to bits but I've been a fan long enough to know that things can go very wrong very quickly. It's why I haven't vetoed Stan as a potential name for Willie (yet.) The superstitious hockey fan in me won't let me.
* * * * *Turtle leaves for Europe next week and I'm trying very hard not to pout. It is not working.
* * * * *Our moving date is just two and a half weeks away and I'm starting to panic. I know that everything will get done (because it has to be done) but I can't see it happening. We are so behind and my big plan of purging before packing is looking like it's not going to happen. We've managed to accumulate so much junk in the three and a half years we've been in our current condo. I hate the thought of packing it up and bringing it to our new home.
* * * * *Happy Wednesday, all! I hope you're getting sunshine (and not dreary rain like we've got in Vancouver.)

The suspect in a shots-fired case in Eau Claire last month made his initial appearance in Chippewa County court on Tuesday.
Kyle Baker,22, is facing three felony charges tied to an incident at a home in the 3300 block of Reno Drive on Eau Claire’s north side in Chippewa County.
In a complaint, a witness told Eau Claire police he was shot by Baker, during an argument. Officers later found a shell casing at the scene, matching a pistol tied to Baker.
Baker is being held on a $50,000 cash bond.
A preliminary hearing is set for June 10.

We think this is an Golding Improved pearl Letterpress . Formed in the side casting it said “1895 GOLDING & CO BOSTON USA”
We have had it for two years, and have not done much with it. (we have other presses). It turns well and seems to make all the right moves. There are 5 roller cores. There is a AC motor and a belt than could be used to make it run (this motor has not been hooked to the press). We will be happy to answer any questios. Here are two videos we made of the press.

Carolyn M. Stevens

Operation Write Home in time for Valentine's Day. This first card uses the newest sketch, #147. In the photo the border of the heart looks darker than it does in real life, but not by much. I wonder if I should stamp it again, using a brown that's not quite so dark. Heart stamp is by Posh Impressions, sentiment by Darcies. Patterned paper is ancient Hot Off the Press.
I'm enjoying all these cards but I do have knitting projects I need to work on. I cut my finger on Friday while making dinner, so it might be rather awkward (tip of the left pinky) but I should give it a try. These gifts are not going to knit themselves, and the elves are apparently busy elsewhere.

Summer in the Annapolis Admissions Office kicked off with a new memoir being passed around, entitled “Educated” by Tara Weston. The book details her transition from a child of a survivalist family living in the wilds of Idaho, opposed to formal education, to a student at Brigham Young University, eventually earning a Ph.D from Cambridge. In it, she even mentions St. John’s! A number of the staff had insights into the value of Tara’s story, which you can read below.
“Sometimes a book comes recommended by a friend or family member and you are unsure of what you are getting into when you begin the book. Educated had been recommended to me because it dealt with a young woman’s challenges to receive an education and (spoiler alert!), St. John’s College was mentioned in the book. I was intrigued to find out what roadblocks the author encountered to receive her education, and I was curious to read about how she accomplished her goal to get educated. Luckily, the recommendation to read Educated was spot-on and I, in turn, have urged others to read it.
Educated was a fascinating book to read. I was surprised to learn that not all Homeschool programs are regulated at the city/county/state level. Ms. Westover’s perseverance to obtain her goals was inspiring and that she used education to obtain those goals was motivating to me. She took on new education challenges, struggled at times, yet succeeded with her quest to get educated.”
“Lynn had mentioned this book to me due to my passion/interest in counseling and higher education. I was definitely intrigued and enjoy getting book recommendations. It definitely didn’t hurt that it was on the National Best Seller List! I agree that the message in this book is powerful: Education is ongoing, it is never too late, and we can rise above challenges that get in the way. My reaction to this book was also different from some of my colleague’s in that I had trouble focusing on the main character herself due to her family situation. The counselor in me read about abusive relationships and felt so many emotions including, anger and empathy. I always aim to have a holistic view of all of my students, and this book opens your eyes to the reality that we don’t always see the whole picture. I too felt that Educated was an important read and passed it on to more of our colleagues.”
“It’s not uncommon for my colleagues and I to share books – we do work at St. John’s after all. “I just finished the most amazing book this weekend!” is a common refrain around our office’s Keurig coffee maker on Monday mornings. But when four people told me about the book Educated within the course of a week, I knew I needed to check it out immediately. I had already borrowed Lynn’s copy when my good friend at Sarah Lawrence College called excitedly to tell me that Educated makes brief mention of St. John’s.
I settled in to begin Ms. Westover’s book after work on Friday. By Monday morning I found myself around that Keurig machine raving about the book I’d just finished. As someone who has spent the past 16 years working with young people through their college search processes, Educated offered me an invaluable reminder. Overcoming personal struggles, Ms. Westover seeks a better life through education. With no formal education to speak of, she enters college without the same frame of reference as her peers. As an admissions counselor, it is imperative that I respect the diverse backgrounds and unique circumstances each of our students bring with them as they begin their college searches. It is my job to be available to answer questions with no preconceived assumptions, and to assist all students as they prepare for their own educational odysseys, no matter their background. And it is a job I truly love doing.”
What would we say if we could break “Educated” down into an acrostic?
E Education-Ms. Westover proves that education is the ticket out of limiting circumstances.
D Disturbing-No one has the perfect family, but after reading about Ms. Westover’s parents and brother, the quantity of times that they let her down or abused her was quite disturbing.
U Unfamiliar-Ms. Westover was scared with trying unfamiliar or new things, but rose to the occasion even though there was apprehension with the unknown.
C Courage-Ms. Westover demonstrates time and time again that she knows deep down inside what is best for her and shows courage and determination to ensure she succeeds at her goals.
A Anger-Ms. Westover’s anger at her family and her lack of education as a child could be over-whelming, yet she uses that anger to motivate herself to obtain her goals.
T Time-it takes time to make changes to one’s life. Most changes do not come about over-night.
E Empathy-The reader feels empathy for Ms. Westover on several levels.
D Degree-Ms. Westover reached her goals! Degrees from College and University to obtain her Doctorate.
Do you have any other book recommendations that we might enjoy? Let one of us know!

It hinges almost 100% on the performance of whoever plays Joker. Good thing that Joaquin Phoenix is an excellent actor and he carries the film. Really another less capable actor and this film would have not been nearly as compelling. As it stands it is a good portrait of an unstable character and it is a film that is well made and looks great in addition to Phoenix’s great performance. That being said, not sure why this is a “Joker” movie? Can this character of Arthur Fleck really become THE Joker…I did not believe that.

Competition defines the world of academia. Just like in the business world, students strive to outdo each other. From classroom sit-in tests to lengthy research projects, every academic task is characterized by competition. This antagonistic spirit infects and affects all levels of academia — from kindergarten to postgraduate. If you are currently working on your dissertation or thesis, it means you are either doing your master’s or doctoral degree.
You are a scholar. Despite your academic stature, you are still competitive. You still want to impress your professor by creating the most prolific dissertation he/she has ever seen. Competition is good. But you might “injure” yourself by trying too hard. When choosing a dissertation topic try to find the balance between the achievable and new territory. Consider the following cautionary tips to avoid picking the wrong topic for your dissertation.
Choose a topic that you are passionate about. It should be pertinent to your career prospects. Some students think that the only way they can enhance their intellectual standing is by choosing fancy and exotic topics for their dissertations. Piece of advice: You can work on previously researched topics and still achieve academic prominence — it all depends on your final product. Your passion and academic interests come first when choosing a topic for your dissertation.
The research process takes a long time, so pick a topic that excites you. Someone else’s results and conclusion chapters may suggest that further research is needed. You could be that researcher.
Consider whether the topic is doable. Assess the scope of the project and estimate the required resources. You know your knowledge level and academic skills. Can you do it? There is also the issue of resources: intellectual, research materials, time, and financial expenditures. Consider the availability and access of data for your research topic. This is the most arduous phase of the dissertation project.
Choose a topic that you can manage without straining the available resources. The most important thing is to consider whether the topic is feasible before you expend energy on the thesis or dissertation proposal. You can choose a slightly demanding topic and then seek dissertation help from professional academic writing consultants and thesis or dissertation editors with graduate school editing experience.
You should also consider the viability or relevance of the topic in relation to your career path. Choose a good topic that will have an impact on your academic field. In other words, choose a research-worthy topic. If you are tempted to choose a topic that has never been researched, ask yourself why it has never been studied before. Maybe there is a problem of data access or the topic does not address any meaningful industry needs.
Also, choose a topic that is relevant to your industry or academic field by browsing related academic journals. If the topic interests you and your fellow academic peers, it has industry appeal. A good topic will increase your visibility in the job market; after all, the primary reason for your educational endeavors is to secure a good job in your chosen field.

The concert also includes John Landor’s MEET the MUSIC interval event which is a great way to get into the minds of the great composers and into the spirit of the music. It’s an informal and entertaining interval event where we take a close look at how the music was composed by breaking it down to reveal its hidden delights. You will also come face-to-face with the musicians as they perform excerpts among the audience. It’s a great warm up for the performance!

We have a new VoIP Phone SPA525G2 with Zen Internet with the public IP address (Static IP) with a new Draytek 2830n router. The issue is, there are no incoming calls but I can make outgoing calls to any number on the phone fine. When you ring the number from your own mobile phone to the IP phone, you can hear it dialling on your mobile but no incoming call or activity on the VoIP Phone.
When I logged into the phone via the interface from the IP address under SIP it says it’s registered successfully so I am entering the SIP username and password from the broadband provider correctly including the proxy address and port numbers are 5060.
What configuration am I missing? I have opened ports 5060 on the Draytek and port forwarded them also to the phone private IP address. We only have 1 IP phone.
The Draytek router 2830n does not have VoIP features but someone said you don’t have to have a router that has VoIP. Would this be the issue.
May be JorgeM know of this ??

New York Academy of Sciences to Host Malaria 2014 Symposium on World Malaria Day
Researchers will discuss advances in malaria pathophysiology, biology and drug development—all critical to mitigating, and eradicating, this deadly disease.
Published April 22, 2014
NEW YORK, April 22, 2014 - Approximately 3.3 billion people (one half of the world's population) are at risk of contracting malaria. With more than 650,000 malaria deaths annually, there is still much work to be done before this disease can be controlled. On April 25, World Malaria Day, the New York Academy of Sciences will present the Malaria 2014: Advances in Pathophysiology, Biology and Drug Development symposium to examine breakthroughs in three critical areas of scientific research: 1) pathophysiology, 2) pre-erythrocytic and liver stage biology, and 3) drug resistance and drug development.
This timely and forward-looking symposium will bring together many of the world's leading experts on malaria disease and related areas of scientific inquiry to examine the latest developments in understanding disease processes and the biology of the parasite, as well as antimalarial drugs and candidate vaccines.
"The malaria parasite is a wily foe and doesn't surrender its secrets easily. Because many people can carry the parasite and not have symptoms, and because the illnesses it causes resemble many others, attributing symptoms to the parasite is not straightforward. Understanding how the pathogen kills is the first step toward developing effective adjunct therapy for malaria," says keynote presenter Terrie Taylor, DO, University Distinguished Professor, Michigan State University, who will present on the pathogenesis of fatal cerebral malaria.
Increased prevention and control measures have led to a 25% worldwide reduction in malaria mortality rates since 2000. However, those living in the poorest countries remain the most vulnerable to malaria; nearly 90% of all malaria deaths worldwide occur in developing countries, mostly among children under five years of age infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
"Drug resistance is a real and present danger in Southeast Asia. In Western Cambodia, where artemisinin resistance is the most prevalent, the efficacy of frontline artemisinin-based combination therapy has decreased dramatically in recent years, and now fails to cure nearly half our patients," says keynote presenter Rick M. Fairhurst, MD, PhD, Chief, Malaria Pathogenesis and Human Immunity Unit, LMVR, NIAID, NIH, who will present on drug-resistant malaria. "Mapping the geographic extent of artemisinin-resistant parasites is our highest priority now, so that effective drugs can be deployed to eliminate them and prevent their further spread beyond mainland Southeast Asia."

But notice how none of us have been to Rhode Island.I know a girl from Rhode Island though, so if I meet the other person I won't have been there, but I will know everyone from there.
I echo J's sentiments. Why do people avoid Rhode Island?! WE MUST TAKE ACTION.

Local parents face a daycare dilemma
WORTHINGTON -- Soon-to-be parents face many challenges, from preparing a new room for baby to stocking up on the essentials.
While many choices are to be made, nothing is often bigger than the decision parents face about who will care for their new bundle of joy.
Karen DeBoer, director of Southwestern Minnesota Opportunity Council's Child Care Resource and Referral program, said parents -- whether expecting their first child or their fourth -- all face the daycare dilemma.
"There definitely is a shortage of infant care," said DeBoer, adding that there isn't an abundance of providers to care for children of any age in the six counties of southwest Minnesota.
For Tammy Meinders, who has operated a daycare in Worthington for 19 years, staying at capacity hasn't been a problem.
"I'm usually always full," she said, noting she has no openings at this point. Her next available opening for an infant won't be until March 2007 at the earliest, she said.
Meinders is one of many providers in the area who have had to turn away parents of infants in recent months.
According to DeBoer, 12 daycares will not have an infant opening until 2008, 74 won't have an infant opening until 2007, and 34 can't accept an infant until the start of the new school year in 2006. That's a harsh reality for the 83 percent of families who sought child care for a baby younger than 12 months old during the last year.
So is there a baby boom going on in southwest Minnesota, or are there just fewer people willing to take on the responsibility of caring for children?
Meinders believes it is the latter.
"I have heard of a few daycares that have quit," she said. "That could be part of it. Also, there's not enough people becoming licensed. The State of Minnesota is changing its rules, and it's harder to become a licensed provider. ...I think it's turning a lot of people away from it."
Cari Schreier, a daycare provider in Slayton and treasurer of the Murray County Family Child Care Association, said state mandates and paperwork make it less appealing for people to enter the arena of child care.
A number of mandates went into effect Jan. 1, including that providers caring for infants attend trainings on shaken baby syndrome and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). If they do any transport of children, they must attend car restraint training.
"If you have a substitute if you leave for even a half hour, they have to be certified in CPR and First Aid," Schreier said. "For someone like me, who needs to get out about two or three times per year, it's frustrating."
The trainings take time, and don't come without a cost, Schreier said. Also, with the required paperwork, she said it leaves either less time to spend with the daycare children or with her own family.
Paperwork must be completed on everything from what foods each child ate for lunch to the time of their daily arrival and departure.
"We have to do a monthly inspection on our cribs, and twice a year for licensing we have to document any kids we've had in the past (six months), whether it was a drop-in or not," Schreier added.
DeBoer said that around 2000, there was a noticeable drop in the number of child care providers in southwest Minnesota -- due in part to increased regulations at that time. More recently, the number of available providers has stabilized, she added.
Today, there are 284 licensed child care facilities in the southwest Minnesota counties of Rock, Pipestone, Nobles, Murray, Jackson and Cottonwood. Of those, 238 are licensed as family child care providers, 10 are child care centers, 23 are considered pre-schools, nine are Head Start facilities and four are geared specifically to school-aged children.
The 238 licensed family child care providers can care for an estimated 2,700 children and, according to the latest information available, there are 260 openings in those settings. Few of them, however, are for infants.
Due to the lack of available infant care, DeBoer said many parents begin seeking a provider at least six months before the birth of their child.
"If a family is with a provider, sometimes they ask when there is an infant opening (in planning their next child)," DeBoer said.
Daycare providers can obtain different levels of licensure. Those in their first year as a provider can care for a maximum of 10 children, of which only two can be younger than 12 months of age. After the first year, providers can care for a maximum of 12 children at any one time. The two-infant rule remains in effect for all licensing stages.
Schreier said nine of the 14 children she's licensed to care for will be considered school-aged children as of Friday. That makes it difficult for her to take younger children into her care.
"I was fortunate for this school year that I was able to take other families, but they knew that the kids needed to be picked up by 3:30 when the school-age kids arrived, and that I wouldn't be able to take them on non-school days," Schreier said.
At a time when more parents are seeking care for their young children, DeBoer said the hourly rate paid to daycare providers hasn't kept pace with supply and demand.
In Jackson County, she said, the average hourly rate paid to daycare providers caring for school-aged children has gone up just 3 cents in the last three years, from $1.92 to $1.95 per hour. Nobles County, on the other hand, noted just a 5-cent per hour increase for infant care in the past three years, from $1.94 to $1.99 per hour.
Just as families believe they can't afford to pay more for child care, providers believe they can't afford to take less, DeBoer said.
"Sometimes there needs to be more of a balance," she added. "We can't afford to have the individuals raising our children (earning) next to nothing."

For conservatives, the financial crisis that began in the summer of 2007 has posed a major problem. We had grown rather accustomed to singing the praises of free financial markets. The crisis threatens to discredit them.
But this crisis was not the result of deregulation and market failure. In reality, it was born of a highly distorted financial market, in which excessive concentration, excessive leverage, spurious theories of risk management and, above all, moral hazard in the form of implicit state guarantees, combined to create huge ticking time-bombs on both sides of the Atlantic. The greatest danger we currently face is that the emergency measures adopted to remedy the crisis have made matters even worse.
It has often been said since the crisis began that an institution that is "too big to fail" (TBTF) is too big to exist. I agree. The question is how we can best get rid of the TBTFs without increasing the power of government in the economy still further. This should be among the first priorities of an incoming Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The past two decades witnessed an unprecedented concentration in the financial services sector. Between 1990 and 2008, the share of financial assets held by the 10 largest US financial institutions rose from 10 per cent to 50 per cent, even as the number of banks fell from over 15,000 to about 8,000.
By the end of 2007, 15 megabanks, with combined shareholder equity of $857 billion, had total assets of $13.6 trillion and off-balance-sheet commitments of $5.8 trillion - an aggregate leverage ratio of 23 to 1. They also had underwritten derivatives with a gross notional value of $216 trillion - more than a third of the total.
This was far from being a purely American phenomenon. By 2003 the five largest banking groups in the UK accounted for 71 per cent of deposits and 75 per cent of loans.
Yet concentration in banking has not gone so far as to eliminate competition. On the contrary, banking remains a highly competitive business. Indeed, it was precisely this competition that encouraged bank executives aggressively to pursue economies of scale, to increase leverage and to take on increasingly risky positions. To some extent, the excessive risks taken in the period leading up to 2007 can be blamed on defective mathematical models. However, another explanation is that big financial institutions had reason to believe that they enjoy a privileged and in some measure protected position.
Economists have long held that bank failures pose a "systemic" economic risk, because failed banks are associated with monetary contractions for the economy as a whole. There is therefore a presumption that, if big banks are threatened with liquidity or solvency problems, they should be bailed out by the action of the central bank or government. Despite much pious talk of "moral hazard" prior to 2007, little was done to disabuse big financial institutions of this notion. They could and did assume that they enjoyed an implicit government guarantee.
With the exception of Lehman Brothers, they were right. Beginning with the British Government's takeover of Northern Rock in 2007 and culminating in the US Government's vast injections of capital into AIG, Citigroup and other institutions, the Western world has witnessed a succession of government interventions in the banking system unprecedented other than in time of war. These measures can be justified on the ground that without them there would have been a banking crisis comparable with that of 1931, which did as much as the 1929 stock market crash to plunge the world into a Great Depression.
But there is a danger that justified emergency measures give rise to unjustifiable permanent conditions.
What happened last year provided a belated vindication for one of the central tenets of Marxism-Leninism: that increasing concentration of financial capital would lead ultimately to crisis, followed by the socialisation of the banking system. This was the basis for the concept of "state monopoly capitalism".
The crisis brought "stamokap" several steps closer in two ways. First, it wiped out three of the biggest US banks - Bear, Merrill, and Lehman - while at the same time condemning more than 140 (and still counting) smaller regional and local banks to oblivion. Second, because the failure of Lehman was so economically disastrous, it established what had previously only been suspected - that the survivors were Too Big To Fail.
This is moral hazard run mad - a system in which a few giant banks get to operate as hedge funds with a government guarantee that if they blow up, their losses will be socialised.
Few of the regulatory reforms proposed so far do enough to solve the central problem of the TBTFs. Consider what US Treasury Secretary Geithner proposed in his Congressional testimony of September 23:
There will be a new National Bank Supervisor. However, responsibility for regulating the TBTFs will lie elsewhere, by implication with the Federal Reserve or the Treasury.
The administration intends to "tighten constraints on leverage. by requiring that all financial firms hold higher capital and liquidity buffers". But TBTFs will be asked to do more, in at least two respects. First, they will be asked to prepare "living wills" - plans for how they should be "dismantled in case of failure". Second, they will also be subject to "very strong government oversight".
Are these measures sufficient? Britain's Labour Government apparently thinks they go too far. Speaking in the House of Commons on July 8, the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared that he feared "the consequences of telling a large bank that it is too big. In response to that, the bank might say, 'We're too big, so we'll go somewhere else.' "
Although prepared to countenance tighter regulation for big financial institutions, the Government made it clear in its White Paper of the same date that it was "not persuaded that artificial limits should be placed on firms to restrict their size or complexity".
By contrast, some continental European governments, notably the French and the German, would like to go further than the Geithner proposals. In particular, the egalitarian-minded continentals are itching to impose some kind of international cap on bankers' compensation. Another idea, floated by the head of the UK Financial Services Authority, Lord Turner, is to levy a tax on all financial transactions.
Then there are those traditionalists who would like to see a return to the separation of commercial banking and investment banking along the lines of the old Glass-Steagall Act. A case could also be made for tightening anti-trust rules for the financial services sector; this is roughly the position of the EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes. Finally, a few economists on both sides of the Atlantic have begun arguing for "narrow" or "limited purpose" banking, which would limit the ability of deposit-taking institutions to engage in risky business.
There is, however, a danger that the essential goal - the euthanasia of the TBTFs - will vanish from sight as the number of proposals increases. So let us dismiss the various red herrings. The headline-grabbing compensation issue, it should be noted, is the reddest of the lot. Million-dollar bonuses are a symptom, not a cause, of the deeper malaise. Almost as red a herring is the Turner tax. Raising transaction costs in the financial sector would help rather than hinder the TBTFs. It would be the biggest firms, exploiting economies of scale, that could most easily cope with such a change.
Also a herring, though more pink in hue, is Secretary Geithner's pledge to regulate the TBTFs more tightly. It is impossible to be impressed by such pledges when it was the most regulated institutions in the financial system that were among the most disaster-prone. The old Latin question is apposite here: quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who regulates the regulators?
The most appealing fish on offer - but still a herring - is the idea of "narrow" banking. The problem with this is that it would turn the clock back not to the 1930s but to the 1650s - to the period before fractional reserve banking began to spread through the Western world. I remain unpersuaded that we need to jettison so much of what financial evolution has achieved over three and a half centuries, especially since two of the most systemically dangerous firms in the crisis were not deposit-taking institutions.
There is, in fact, one simple insight, buried in Secretary Geithner's testimony, upon which we need to build. As he clearly understands, the real aim of government should be to give the TBTFs "positive incentives . to shrink and to reduce their leverage, complexity, and interconnectedness".
The best way of creating such incentives is to reiterate, preferably once a week, one key point: in case of failure, "the largest, most interconnected firms" should in future be wound up "in a way that protects taxpayers and the broader economy while ensuring that losses are borne by creditors and other stakeholders".
That was the principle that was thrown overboard in the crisis, when it was decided to prevent the holders of bank bonds (apart from those of Lehman Brothers) from losing their money. Removing that protection will necessarily raise the cost of credit for the TBTFs, reduce their profitability and encourage them to split themselves up.
During the crisis it was often said that officials at the Federal Reserve and Treasury would do "whatever it takes" to avoid a Great Depression. Now they must do whatever it takes to address one of the key causes of the financial crisis: the existence of financial institutions that consider themselves too big to fail - but which are run in such a way that they are bound to do so.

Lucy immediately ran to the window to see the bird. She sat there watching it until it flew away. Every time the bird moved, Lucy would wag her tail as if she were cheering it on.
Ellie joined Lucy for a look-see. Then she walked away, apparently less concerned about the outcome.
Pardon the lousy photograph. I took it through the door since I didn't want to disturb the hummingbird and make it try to fly before it was ready.
I cannot understand why the hummingbirds remain so territorial, guarding the feeders passionately and challenging any other hummingbird that comes around. They have such a long and strenuous path to travel. One would think it in their best interest to conserve the energy they expend fighting. I often wonder if any of them gets much nectar. This particular bird was in a duel with another when it struck the side of the house. The bird recovered very quickly so perhaps he will live to fight another day.
Autumn is upon us at last. Our Jewish friends are observing the high holy days of Rosh Hashanah. We are putting away the summer things and preparing for the cooler days ahead. Only ninety-two days remain in the year 2011, so you might need to review and/or revise the list of things you set out to accomplish this year.
When your life feels too complicated and busy, think on this:
The most important things in life are not things.
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, EVERY ONE!

HARTFORD, CT (CBSNewYork/AP) – The latest storm has caused yet another headache in Connecticut after dumping more than a foot of snow on the state.
Interstate 95 was a mess, leaving traffic at a standstill at the height of the snowstorm.READ MORE: New York First In The Nation To Launch Federally Approved Homeowner Assistance Fund

Directing traffic away from the I-95 ramp in Stamford was a familiar face in New York – former Mets manager Bobby Valentine. Valentine is Stamford’s new director of public safety.
Truckers were putting their rigs together Thursday afternoon after the disaster on the interstate immediately following the storm. Several jacknifed trucks got stranded on I-95, and many caught in the traffic ended up becoming stuck in the snow, turning the highway into a virtual parking lot for several hours Thursday morning.
“I couldn’t move for about six hours. And now I’m stuck here,” one trucker said.

“It was a disaster, like a bomb went off,” trucker Jason Hart said. “It was the worst I’ve ever seen, and I’ve done a lot of driving.”
Somehow, drivers didn’t get word on the truck ban in time, as the snow accumulated very quickly. Unlike previous snowstorms this year, though, this was not the light, fluffy stuff.READ MORE: New York City Announces First-In-The-Nation Vaccine Mandate For Private Companies

“This one’s the worst – thick snow, it’s heavy, and I had to dig out my car this morning, which wasn’t too fun, so definitely tired of the snow,” Greenwich resident Mike O’Conner said.
“[It’s] very, very heavy,” resident Reuben Jago said. “I’m too old for this snow.”
Even the trains in Connecticut had plows on them, as train traffic that had been shut down at the height of the storm resumed late Thursday morning. Interstate traffic resumed behind a phalanx of truck plows.
It may officially be New England in Fairfield County, but the novelty of the snowy winter is definitely wearing thin for Connecticut residents.
“I love snow, but I’ve had it up to here,” Helio Abdal, of Greenwich, said.
“I want it to stop – please,” Nick Cdaak said.

DSL modem(redirected from DSL modem/router)
DSL modemA device used to connect a single computer or a network to a telephone company digital subscriber line (DSL) service for Internet access. Compared to analog dial-up, DSL significantly increases the bandwidth between the user's computer and the Internet. Download speeds have reached 10 Mbps and beyond, but the connection is asynchronous. In order to prevent users with lower-cost cable access from hosting high-traffic Web servers, the upload speed is approximately 10 times slower. Like cable Internet providers, telephone companies routinely change the user's IP address to prevent Web hosting (see DDNS).
Connect Via Ethernet or USB
DSL modems typically connect to the computer or network router via an Ethernet port; however, some DSL modems have a USB port for hookup to the computer but not the network. See DSL and cable/DSL gateway.
|DSL Modem and Wireless Router|
|This Qwest DSL modem includes a wireless router. After installation, users can connect their computers to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable. See wireless router.|

Staff and students at Central Sussex College gathered to watch the arrival of a two-seater aircraft on Thursday to the college from Redhill Aerodrome.
Last Friday (27th January), four Aeronautical Engineering students travelled to Redhill Aerodrome with lecturer Zahid Khan to prepare the plane to move to its new home. The students worked together to remove the wings, empty the petrol tank and ensure it was safe for transportation.
Students Lukasz Tomaszewski (20) from Horsham and Canaan Weller (22) from East Grinstead described the overall experience as ‘fantastic’. Lukasz commented, “We knew the plane was coming this week but we had no idea it was today! It was a great opportunity to be able to prepare the plane for its transportation here and it feels so good to have it at the college”.
Programme area manager Zahid Khan talked about the benefits the plane would have on the Aeronautical Engineering course, “Aeronautical is one of the most diverse industries to work in and provides many different routes towards career progression. With the UK’s Aeronautical industry set to expand significantly in the next decade, I am very excited about having this plane for students to work on. It will be incorporated into their current modules and I am so pleased that we are improving the learner experience at the college as well as delivering courses relevant to current industry practices”.
Talking about the advantages the plane would have for future students, Canaan said “This plane is not just for us, future engineers at the college will be able to use it and gain loads of amazing practical experience”.
Now housed in the college’s engineering department, the small plane will immediately become part of the students’ practical element of their course. Additionally it will be used alongside their theory studies to develop their aeronautical skills including Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Instrument and Indicating Systems and Aerodynamics.

#81: Secrets Of The
Cryptkeeper's Haunted House
CBS: (September 1996 - September 1997)
THREE WEEKS AGO ON GAME SHOW GARBAGE.....
Well that wraps up yet another Kid's Month on Game Show Garbage. Maybe it's time to take a look...
"Hey Rob, it's your benevolent webmaster here. A certain kids game show's been really bugging me since 1996...can you look into it?"
Sure, Benevolent Webmaster. What show is this?
"That one with the Cryptkeeper"
And now back to your regularly scheduled induction of horrors.
*knocks on the door*
Who is it?
It's Seth...........you said you wanted help with that shitty Cryptkeeper show.
Yes, I did. Come on in. Welcome to Apt. 101. The home to all the worst game shows in recorded history. As you can see it's a bit brighter than your neck of the woods, and also more videotapes than DVDs. :So, let's get started, shall we?
Yeah........let's get this show out of the way.
Ok, personally, I never watched Tales from the Crypt.
Well, I did and it was awesome.
I also never watched the two movies, or read the comics, or even watched the craptacular Saturday Morning Cartoon that was based off of it. And hey, FSin from Tooncrap, you need to work on that, immediately.
But it seems for some reason, the people making the show decided to gear the show more towards kid, because that worked so well with Toxic Avenger and Swamp Thing
Yeah, I never did understand those two shows as well. During that time, I was busy watching Power Rangers, Salute Your Shorts and Family Double Dare. But some people decided that since the cartoon worked so well, why not get the real Cryptkeeper and decide to make a game show around him. I mean, taking an adult cult icon and making it into a kids game show seems weird and questionable to say the least. So, we head to a place where crap exists almost every day: Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
You don't need to say that again.....
So, let's make an Impact and head into the hellish domain known as Secrets Of The Cryptkeeper's Haunted House.
Yeah, let's get this nightmare over with.
And here is our first problem, the design of the haunted house. If you see the opening to the actual Tales From The Crypt, you would see an intricate look at a haunted house :Here, it looks like someone saw a level of a video game and decided it should be an entire house. What a truly wretched clusterfuck of a set.
Not only that, you enter the roun....I'm sorry. They call their rounds, "Frights" I don't know why the call them that, but there ya go. You enter the rounds by going through doors in the main corridor, like the upstairs middle door or one of the two doors on the first floor. But when you enter the rooms, it's like you're warped to a different house altogether.
Kind of wish they did the whole door number one, door #2 and door #3 stuff.
I'd take one less round for something like that. But let's talk about some of the "Frights" aka Rounds, because I don't know how some of these made it past the censors.
I wonder how many lawsuits they actually had. Round one was Fireball Alley oh wait Fright #1.
It doesn't matter, the name sucked.
Fireball Alley had a CGI set and let's just say while some may say of course the set looks dated now, but here is the thing. There were game shows earlier and they had way better use of CGI.
Heck, SNES Games looked better than the effects on this show. But we should clarify that almost every game on this show had CGI Sets.
Now let's talk about Digger.
Digger was the Cryptkeeper's Lackey of sorts. In this game, he'd fire off dodge balls at headstones that were behind the kid. The kid had to block those shots without falling off a bridge and being vaporized by poor CGI effects.
and this guy SUCKS................
In more ways than one. His commentary is very annoying and he was a poor shot, I guess to be kind to the kids.
Oh yeah and he had you answer questions for each headstones that his crappy shooting didn't knock down.
The questioning was inventive and pyramid-esque where he gave you 4 people, places and things and you had to find the connection of all 4. It's a bright spot in a dire show.
Folks........just to let you know......any bright spots on this show will be hidden in the darkness of all the crap.
Or in the constant remarks that the Cryptkeeper makes throughout the show. So, let's talk about him right now.
Or, you talk about him, since he's right in your wheelhouse.
Ah yes, for those of you who have seen Tales From The Crypt.......you would know that the Cryptkeeper was shown at the beginning and end of every show Because he was the only part that had anything to do with the better show, they used him a lot. This brings a few problems: 1) Because he had to move from late at night on HBO to Saturday mourning on CBS, he was understandably neutered. 2) there is a reason you saw him only at the beginning and the end because his act got annoying rather quickly if you had to listen to him constantly that is the issues with him and yes, he would come on and try his best to insult our contestants, but because he was neutered, they were extremely childish and well....weren't very innovative. I mean when Treguard from Knightmare can not do anything and be more innovative with his thoughts about your try, you have issues.
Yeah. He did get annoying fast. Since we're talking about talking heads, let's talk about the host, Steve Saunders.
He was okay.
He didn't do anything terrible, but then again he wasn't very memorable either. He just was there. But that makes him in the top 25% for kids game show hosts.
Yeah.........kids game show hosts were rather terrible.
Quite a few of them were. Another major thing that bugged me was some of the events were very dangerous. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put kids in a wind tunnel.
Apparently these people did as that was part of what was mostly level 2: Worminator. explain the complexities of this one
The kids had to move 3 dodge balls through a wind tunnel blowing at 100odd miles an hour. and during certain areas, had to exchange them. Then at the end, put them in a bucket. They had to do this all in 35 seconds. If they did it was 10 points per ball, otherwise they got "vaporized"
And if you ever wondered how stupid using a wind tunnel was...........look up any YouTube video on wind tunnel and imagine you had kids going into one and then add they had to multitask with the balls It would be a wonder if no one got hurt.......which of course did happen. Yes, people got hurt plenty of times.
And if you guys thought the Worminator was bad, there was one that was worse, The Abyss.
Wait..........wasn't there another level that sometimes replaced Worminator?
And this was the event that replaced it.
No, I thought the event that replaced it was the swamp from hell
Both actually replaced each other. The Abyss sometimes would be in event 2 or event 4
Oh ok. Well.......the abyss wouldn't be too bad. I mean, it must be like rock climbing and.............WHAT THE FUCK?! Seriously guys, that looks like something you would see the guys at ninja warrior do. This is a kid's game show, not Boot Camp. You'd think kids don't want to go to military school........apparently they do if the cryptkeeper and a bunch of sideshow rejects are running it
Yeah, swinging to three rope ladders and answering a bunch of number-based questions.
And the Abyss where you fell was several feet deep, I believe
That was the gimmick. I would think it was 5 or so feet below, and you fell onto a big air mattress.
Still five feet is nothing to sneeze at
No, especially if you land wrong, and you could be seriously hurt.
Yeah.........like we said, this game should have been insanely sued. At least it was tame with The Swamp From Hell.
Even with a name like that.
Well considering the alternatives, this was tame. Although the CGI "swamp" was filled with lava.
Yeah. I think it's time to put an end to this by talking about one of the more confusing end rounds in game show history, Skull Duggery.
Wait........what about the incredible shrinking room, or ghost battle, or endless hallway?
At least those were decent events.
Or vampire's lair where you had to wake a vampire?
Ok, that one we need to talk about. Even though it was only played like twice.
I mean, the other games kind of made sense with objectives, but this one............why the fuck would you wake up a vampire.
Maybe the vampire was Count Chocula.
You better have a chocolate bar then.
Or at the very least a bowl with some milk.
Otherwise, he will kill you for waking his ass up.
No kidding. The last person that did that became Boo Berry.
Well there was Frankenberry, but Chocula put him back together.
The only smart one of his group that wasn't stupid enough to do so was Fruit Brute. Of course he didn't last long for other reasons...........i.e. accidentally pissing on the carpet.
I think we've gotten off topic. Let's end it before we start wondering where the hell Yummy Mummy went.
He became toilet paper. Don't ask about the details. Anyway...........we better get to Skull Duggery aka Clusterfuck that makes the other 4 rounds pointless
We'll have to ask Blade about the Yummy Mummy toilet Paper. But yeah, Skull Duggery.
Lets just say that if you won the other 4 events, you could still lose. So you could bust your ass on the Abyss and still lose thanks to being unable to compete in Skullduggery.
Right. What the round was about is having to grab a bunch of skulls and putting them in a bag, while running through various actual parts of the house. After you run through the house, grabbing skulls, you came out to the graveyard and put all the skulls you got onto a pike. If you topped your pike, you got 50 points. if neither one did, then most skulls got the 50 points and almost every single time, you win Skull Duggery, you win.
Sounds like a Vince Russo-esque person worked on this game. But lets talk about the prizes for competing in this basic and dangerous waste of time.
The grand prize...an Apple Computer
While the losers get a set of books.
Sadly I'd rather go on this show than Wheel 2000. At least the Apple Computer was a much better prize than their computer.
True, but still. A trip to universal studios would have been so much better.
That old Nick Game Show Standby?
Yeah........that one. Hey, its for kids.
Maybe you could win on this show, get the trip and go on Figure It Out and win a better trip.
Maybe, but yeah........back then computers didn't have as much to offer as they did today.
But to sum it up, this was shameless marketing at it's worst. The Cryptkeeper was a bigger detriment than he was an asset.
The whole show ranged from ridiculous to dangerous.
And in the end, it only lasted 1 year, to be replaced with the previously inducted, Wheel 2000.
here is the ultimate sum up as to why this failed. For kids
younger than the target audience, this was nightmare fuel. To kids
older, they would rather watch the actual Tales From The Crypt.
I think we said enough about this show. Thanks for helping me out with this, Seth.
Yeah............and yes to people, we will eventually do the Once Bitten special induction. Our schedules are just too busy. Not a problem...........get this crap out of the way
For those out there, go visit Seth's site at http://monstercrap.blogspot.com
Them's the breaks.
Yeah.......them's the breaks in life
But thanks for coming down and taking care of this pile with me.
No problem.........it was a pleasure to rip on a cashing in attempt that fucked up one of my favorite franchises

Research And Development with Ion Beams – Advancing Technology in Europe
15 partners from public research and 4 SMEs are joining forces in the RADIATE project exchanging experience and best practice examples in order to structure the European Research Area of ion technology application.
Besides further developing ion beam technology and strengthening the cooperation between European ion beam infrastructures, RADIATE is committed to providing easy, flexible and efficient access for researchers from academia and industry to the participating ion beam facilities. About 15.800 hours of transnational access in total is going to be offered free of charge to users who successfully underwent the RADIATE proposal procedure.
Joint research activities and workshops aim to strengthen Europe’s leading role in ion beam science and technology. The collaboration with industrial partners will tackle specific challenges for major advances across multiple subfields of ion beam science and technology.
RADIATE aims to attract new users from a variety of research fields, who are not yet acquainted with ion beam techniques in their research, and introduce them to ion beam technology and its applicability to their field of research. New users will be given extensive support and training.
The project is monitored by an External Advisory Board for quality assurance and guidance. Users with accepted proposals for RADIATE’s transnational access program are selected by an external user selection panel to ensure an unbiased and fair selection process.
Ionbeamcenters.eu will offer unprecedented research capabilities for European and international scientists from a variety of research fields. During the project, ionbeamcenters.eu will become a platform to share information and software among researchers and will enable online access to data analysis software and ion beam related databases and research data.
Perspectively, our aim is to unify all national ion beam facilities, not just the ones involved in the RADIATE project, creating one single virtual European ion beam center at ionbeamcenters.eu.
RADIATE is building on the achievements of SPIRIT (Support of Public and Industrial Research using Ion Beam Technology), a previous EU funded project coordinated by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). SPIRIT ran from 2009 to 2013 and united 7 European ion beam centers and 4 research providers.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824096

Statement at the Conclusion of an IMF Staff Visit to the Islamic Republic of MauritaniaPress Release No. 10/356
September 27, 2010
An International Monetary Fund mission, led by Mr. Boileau Loko visited Nouakchott from September 15 to 26, 2010 to conduct discussions regarding the first review of the 2010–12 three-year program supported by the Extended Credit Facility (ECF). During the visit, the mission held discussions with several members of the government. In addition, the mission met with a number of economic and financial policymakers, representatives of the banking community, universities, trade unions, civil society, and the diplomatic corps. At the end of its visit, the mission issued the following statement:
“The data available point to a recovery in economic activity. Real non-oil GDP growth is expected to be around 5.5 percent in 2010, driven essentially by agriculture, the extractive industries (iron, copper, and gold), and the building and public works (BTP) sector. At end-June 2010, the inflation rate stood at 6.7 percent year-on-year owing to the rise in energy and food prices on the world market. Higher prices of the country’s main export products should help bring the current account deficit back down to below 10 percent of GDP.
“Implementation of the government’s ECF-supported economic and financial program has been broadly satisfactory, thus fostering the restoration of macroeconomic stability. The first half of 2010 saw a marked increase in revenue resulting from a combination of robust collection efforts and an upturn in economic activity. Operating expenditure has been contained, but the low rate of capital expenditure execution has persisted. At end-June 2010, official foreign exchange reserves amounted to 210.6 million US dollars, that is, equivalent to 2.1 months of imports. The mission also took note of progress made in implementing structural reforms that lay the foundation for achieving higher, sustained levels of growth conducive to reducing poverty.
“The mission welcomes the convergence of views with the authorities on the need to accelerate fiscal consolidation efforts as well as to deepen ongoing reforms in public financial management, public enterprises, the civil service, and the monetary sector. The mission and the authorities also agreed that strengthening social policies and putting in place social safety nets as well as improving the business climate are necessary steps for promoting development and improving the wellbeing of the Mauritanian people.
“In that regard, the authorities and the mission reached understandings, ad referendum, on the objectives to be achieved in 2011 under the ESF, which remain in line with the program negotiated for the period 2010-2012. These objectives consist in achieving real non-oil GDP growth of 5.5 percent, containing inflation at 5 percent, raising foreign exchange reserves to 2.7 months of imports, and consolidating the basic fiscal balance surplus achieved in 2010.
The mission takes the opportunity to thank the authorities for their welcome, availability, and hospitality as well as for the good conditions under which the work took place.”

Well, it's Halloween, a day I loathed and dreaded as a child. This is weird because many people will tell you that I have spent my life in a fantasy world and I'm pretty darned theatrical to boot. But all that dressing up on Halloween never appealed to me.
Well, you get to put on the costume, but you don't really get to live the part. You don't get to spend days or weeks or months as a pirate or vampire or Hermione Granger. Just that one night. So there just wasn't sufficient time to really enjoy the charade.
Second, and this is undoubtedly the most crucial reason, when I was a kid, we all had to wear those cheesy plastic costumes from K-Mart or the local drugstore. I had wild curly hair (still do) - which always got horribly tangled in the elastic band. This meant my mom had to cut the band later to get it off, which usually meant getting a chunk of my hair cut out too. As if that weren' bad enough, they had those stiff masks with the elastic band to hold it on to your face. Those eyeholes on the mask never lined up right so I was always tripping over my Cinderella gown. Plus the plastic was so non-breathable, it made my face sweat. I felt like Richard Nixon in those Kennedy-Nixon debates when I wore one of those masks.
Last of all, I was a very serious and (in my mind, anyway) a very dignified child. I was way above having to go up to strangers and beg for candy from them. Plus I didn't have much of a sweet tooth. And I was almost as neurotic as my son is now, so I was convinced the candy had been spiked with razor blades or LSD. Maybe both. My mother, saintly woman, didn't really try too hard to disabuse me of this notion. I think that was because she wanted my candy. In fact, I probably would've gotten to stop trick or treating even sooner than I did, except that she had such a sweet tooth. I wonder how many kids will be forced to dress up this weekend in order to satisfy some parental craving for Hershey's Kisses? Maybe Congress could investigate and see whether this violates child labor laws.
Anyway, I'm glad I don't have to dress up anymore, and even gladder (???) that my son isn't interested in trick or treating, now that he's 13. He is, however, very theatrical, so he'll be donning not one, but two costumes this weekend. His friends want him to come to a party as Harry Potter, but he's just so over Harry this year. He wants to be Michael Jackson. Which if you think about it, is way more appropriate to the traditional Scare-tastic approach to Halloween. He's supposed to be Michael for the first half of the evening, and Harry later on. Although he is threatening to combine the two costumes and become Michael Potter, an orphaned wizard who moonwalks and wears one white glove and has a predilection for plastic surgery. Now that's scary.

I switched my newsletter service from Yahoo to Vertical Response. I might actually remember to send the newsletter out more often now, since it's got all kinds of cool whiz-bang graphics and formatting I can play with.
Anyway, to celebrate the arrival of the new newsletter, I'm holding a contest for subscribers. If you subscribe to my newsletter, I'll enter you in a contest to win a $10 Barnes & Noble gift certificate. Winner to be announced on Halloween.
See that box over there on the right? No? Well, scroll down a ways and you'll find it. Just enter your email address in that box to sign up for the newsletter and the contest. I promise not to flood your inbox with junk, since the newsletter will only be done quarterly. Unless I suddenly become real prolific like Nora and have a new book to announce every week. But I am way too lazy for that. So no fear of junk mail - just occasional book news, reviews, writing tips and contests.
And if you're reading this at Amazon or elsewhere, here's the link to my contact page. You can also sign up there: http://www.lynnreynolds.com/contact.html
Did I mention I read a lot this summer? I also watched a lot of DVDs and Hulu, but we'll talk about that some other time.
Jeri Westerson was nice enough to let me have an advance copy of her wonderful new novel, Serpent in the Thorn, featuring her wonderfully tortured sleuth, Crispin Guest. Crispin is a medieval Sam Spade, although he looks more like Orlando Bloom on the cover, don't ya think? ;-)
Stripped of his title and his lands and servants after foolishly getting tangled up in a plot against then 10-year-old King Richard II, Crispin now ekes out a miserable living as "The Tracker." In fact, he's a forerunner of Sam Spade, the cynical, world-weary private eye from Noir fiction. Jeri calls her books "medieval noir," and for good reason. In attitude as well as luck (mostly all bad), Crispin is the perfect noir detective. As in her first Crispin book, there's a mysterious femme fatale who might know more than she's telling, and once again, Crispin stumbles upon an international political conspiracy that almost costs him his life.
We also get to learn a lot more about how Crispin came to such a low state. In Serpent in the Thorn, we get to meet one of his former co-conspirators in the treasonous plot against the king. Only this conspirator escaped detection and now lives the high life as captain of the king's archers. Not surprisingly, Crispin is determined to bring this former friend down and restore himself to favor with the king. The mystery involves a holy relic alleged to be the very crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ. Jeri does a fantastic job of recreating the religion-obsessed atmosphere of medieval Europe, and of exposing the hypocrisy that lay beneath that era's obsession with religious icons and faith. She paints a vivid picture of life on the mean streets of medieval London - and those streets were truly mean! This is an absorbing mystery with well-drawn characters, so pick up a copy if you enjoy historical fiction.

Hey everyone, just a reminder that October is breast cancer awareness month. Remember to do your self-exams every month and get an annual mammogram.
Promotion for Thirty-Nine Again is at last slowing down, and I'm hoping to get back to writing some new material soon. Mostly I'm still trying to catch up on things that fell behind while I was recuperating. The Man was a big help (the Teen Tasmanian Devil not so much) - but he did have to let a few things go. He wound up taking several weeks of saved up leave time to help around the house and be the Daddy Chauffeur and Crisis Counselor to the Teen Taz. At one point, Chauffeur Dad observed that he had pretty much had to quit his job in order to be me, only he had to be "Me Lite." His version of me did not also do freelance newspaper writing, publish a novel, and run two miles a day while chauffeuring, cooking and crisis counseling. I am also discovering the hard way that his version of me did not file things or pay bills very often or balance a checkbook!

Nissan, ABB Link to Evaluate Second-Life Storage Applications for Nissan LEAF Battery Packs
Nissan North America, Inc. and ABB, along with 4R Energy and Sumitomo Corporation of America, have formed a partnership to evaluate the reuse of lithium-ion battery packs that power the Nissan LEAF, the world’s first and only all-electric car designed for the mass market.
The purpose is to evaluate and test the residential and commercial applications of energy storage systems or back-up power sources using lithium-ion battery packs reclaimed from electric vehicles after use. Energy storage systems can store power from the grid during times of low usage and feed that electricity back into the grid during periods of peak demand, increasing grid performance and providing back-up power during outages. The team plans to develop a LEAF battery storage prototype with a capacity of at least 50 kilowatt hours (kWh), enough to supply 15 average homes with electricity for two hours.

Hello Crafter's, Glad you could stop by. I was looking through my paper and seen this retired Stampin Up paper. So decided to use it on a thank you card.
Not sure of the name of the Designer's Series paper used but I do like It and thought it was a good color to use with the scalloped die.
Someone sent me that little scissor die and I think it's so cute. I cut it once in a shinny silver and once in black. Just used the bottom part of the black.
I made several of these cards. Sending them with happy mail to the paper crafter's that have sent me cards and goodies in a paper crafter group on Facebook.
That's all I have to share today. Hope you can make it back. Would love for you to leave a comment. Stay Safe!

*This article is addressed to those business owners who have been in business at least one year.
After running a business for several years, I’ve realized that no matter what a business owner charges, there will always be people complaining that the price is too high.
On the contrary, when a business owner charges low prices that were barely profitable or not profitable, no one says, “Hey Business Owner, you need to charge more!”.
The point here, is that a business owner must charge a price that keeps the business profitable. One of the first questions I ask when I sit down with a business owner is, “How are your prices compared to your competitors? Are you on the high end, in the middle, or on the low end of the pricing structure?”.
If the client says they are on the low end, I strongly suggest moving to at least the middle price range.
If you are the business owner, here’s another important tip: If everyone always agrees to your price, you are mostly likely not charging enough.
Does Starbucks care that their coffee is expensive? Nope. Because they are not trying to gain the gas station coffee drinkers as clients.
The monthly profit & loss report is a great way to help the business owner determine if they are not charging enough. If your business income, minus your business expenses, equals a profit that is too low to give the business owner enough to pay their personal expenses (with discretionary income left over), then it’s time to raise your prices.

We've had some fun times swimming with our friends at the ranch and enjoying the playground and the kiddie vehicles. My parents have really created and grandkids paradise at their home.
Greyson was in a transe in the swing
All the playgroup kids except Kaylie
They sure are growing up fast!
My boys have gotten pretty good about sharing this jeep with each other. Every so often they'll stop on their own accord and swap spots. Although Andrew's turns usually last much longer. Too bad they don't share everything else too well with each other. Baby steps!

According to your project, we define an industrial approach to composites parts, through fonctionnal study, AMDEC, economical evaluation, pre-calculation and pre-design.
We look for the most appropriate technological solutions for your needs.
The functional analysis of a set of parts allows a judicious integration of "composite" elements by a redistribution of mechanical constraints, stylistic, objectives, ...
The AMDEC analysis is a methodological tool of risk-relieving particularly effective in industrial projects. This approach identifies potential risks over the life of the product and makes "cogitate" on the preventive actions to be taken to limit them.
Objective cost design is a project management method whose main purpose is to guarantee at the end of the project the objectives of the costs fixed at the start of the projects.
During the course of the project, this means that all decisions are made to meet the costs.
Regular estimates are needed to monitor costs. The design relies on creative methods to find the best compromise between the need to cover and the cost requirements.
The Taguchi method is a statistical method for realizing experimental plans. Applied in industry, this method concentrates primarily on minimizing variations around the set value. Theobjective is to obtain products, processes and systems as robust and insensitive to external disturbances as possible.
Finally, depending on the level of involvement, COGIT Composites can accompagny you with technical and strategic advice until the project is taken over (technical, organizational, financial).

Popular Science Monthly/Volume 11/August 1877/Imagination
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: Amid the asperities of the great political crisis which has convulsed a nation, it is pleasant to find the elegant repose of a salon where culture and refinement stand like sleepless sentinels on guard against dissension; and in the Lenten season—when the fugitive madrigal of society is hushed in the measured cadence of the penitential psalm, and the brilliant poppies of fashion grow pale in the shadow of the palm—it is meet that thought should turn from outward things to the contemplation of those within.
The few moments during which an unworthy member of the Society is indulged to-night will be devoted to the consideration of Imagination as one of the intellectual faculties which, if common in some degree to all, is nevertheless, in its highest development, the rarest, most precious, and most splendid, of human endowments. I need not—I shall not—be coldly critical now, nor seek to bend your judgment to my will; for I must speak my aspirations, not my personal experiences, and move you from the heart, or not at all. The subject bids defiance to the trammels of custom or precedent, and will be bound by no conventionality.
For facts, as simply such, I dare say I have a great and growing contempt, perhaps less due to any familiarity I may have acquired, than to my habitual contemplation of structures without reference to the materials of which they are composed, The architect, not his workmen—the plan, not the details of its execution—the design, not the methods of its accomplishment—these are within the higher view to which intellectual insight may aspire. Let us pay tribute to the gifted poet who taught us to contrast the insignificance of a fact with the sublime signification of a truth. No one may imagine for a moment that the imaginative faculty is an imaginary thing, or doubt the reality of imagination, because it is immaterial and immeasurable, inscrutable to the physical senses, unsusceptible of analysis or synthesis, triable by no test, overriding logic, outwitting philosophy, laughing at science—this imperious mistress of mind, this fertile mother of all art!
This, that, and the other, of things unnumbered, material and immaterial, wise and otherwise, make up the marvelous microcosm we call Self—the world where, like the sun of the planetary system, shines the intellect with perfect splendor. But, as the spectrum has dissected the solar ray, so has the understanding, by a process of self-inflicted vivisection that seems scarcely less than divine in its insight, pierced and resolved the mysteries of its own composition. We know that the mind is a bundle of many fagots, the united strength of which can never be broken, though racked on doubt and put to the wheel of despair—though cast beneath the car of superstition, or consigned to the nether millstone of inhuman persecution. We know that these mental fagots are of many kinds—sturdy oak of the scientist, pliable ash of the schoolman, sail-bearing pine of the positivist, cypress of pessimist, rose-wood of optimist, heart-wood, it may be, for all of us; and the one mysterious piece, so like and yet so unlike them all. Let the rest season, nay, even blacken: this one is changeless and ever-enduring, as fresh and as green as if cut but to-day from the parent stem; it buds on forever, like a wonderful air-plant whose tendrils find nourishment wherever there is sensitized atmosphere, and needs the grosser nurture of no vulgar mould; this veritable Hamamelis, witch-hazel of the mental sheaf, fitly styled the "divining-rod;" for this is the magic wand of the sculptor, the painter, the poet, the singer, the seer alike!
Technical definition of the imagination may be found in the dictionaries of all civilized languages—those monuments of learning and labor which compel the most profound respect, while they excite the liveliest emotions of gratitude and sympathy for the men who were born to erect them. But the conventional label of the imaginative faculty need not be recited before this Society; nor need I enlarge upon its manifest inadequacy beyond the requirements of formalism. Definition is, or should be, diagnostic description; but in what terms may that be described which exists only in imagination? Definition implies limitation and boundary; the gist of the term is the setting of corner-stones; but how measure off and survey that which is boundless? No syllogism is competent here. Let imagination seek its own conclusions, with strong white wings that melt not even in the dazzling light and heat of its own glorious achievements. What care I for the crutch of logic here, or any Ariadne's thread in a labyrinth of verbal niceties! Enthusiasm bears too hard upon the check-rein of sober reflection; fancy leaps lightly; ecstasy beckons, and the lotos is waving over the still, cool waters of my judgment. But expression may lawfully seek even the pinnacle of rhapsody, for naught but superlatives are fitting for that which is beyond comparison.
We can but imagine the possibilities of this attribute of intellect; as its peculiarities deny comparison, and its processes scrutiny, so do its powers defy comprehension. But what of its effective operation and manifest results? What of its purposes and pleasures of its pangs and penalties? And what, alas! of its perversions? Of these we know something, if not from our own experience, then from the teachings of the consummate masters of expression whose thought-laden voices strike home—or, should they pass over our heads, leave us, at least, in no doubt that something has gone over.
To a practical point first: one excellent and most useful purpose which the imagination subserves at the hands of the gifted few whom the higher development of this faculty makes leaders of thought and watchful guardians of human progress, is, to put men of science on their proper level, and to teach them to know their place.
As this may possibly be considered—by some of my friends whose generous appreciation of my efforts in scientific lines of inquiry may blind them to the slightness of my acquirements—to be rather a ticklish position for me to assume, let me fortify with authority as well recognized in literature as is that of the sinewy, daring, and brilliant gladiator of the scientific arena who stigmatized poetry as "sensuous caterwauling."
"In these times the educational tree seems to have its roots in the air, its leaves and flowers in the ground; and I confess I should very much like to turn it upside down, so that its roots might be solidly imbedded among the facts of Nature, and draw thence a sound nutriment for the foliage and fruit of literature and of art. No educational system can have a claim to permanence unless it recognizes the truth that education has two great ends to which everything else must be subordinated. The one of these is, to increase knowledge; the other is, to develop the love of right and the hatred of wrong.
"With wisdom and uprightness a nation can make its way worthily, and Beauty will follow in the footsteps of the two, even if she be not specially invited; while there is, perhaps, no sight in It has been perceived and said, in substance, that the great scientists and the great artists are in really closer brotherhood than many suppose—they hold divided sway over much common ground; it is only a seeming paradox, that few discoveries in science, perhaps no great ones, have been made without the exercise of the imagination, or of some faculty so nearly like it that distinction between them is difficult; for the line which separates the operations and results of imagination from those of induction is obscure. Ratiocination is the twin-brother of imagination. The apple that Eve plucked, and the apple that Newton saw fall, grew on the same tree. But to my intrenchment: "Poetry," says one who understood it, "is the first and last of all knowledge—it is immortal as the heart of man. If the labors of the men of science should ever create any material revolution, direct or indirect, in our condition, and in the impressions which we habitually receive, the poet will sleep then no more than at present; he will be at the side of the man of science, carrying sensation into the midst of the objects of science itself. The remotest discoveries of the chemist, the botanist, the mineralogist, will be as proper objects of the poet's art as any upon which it can be employed, if the time should ever come when these things shall be familiar to us, and the relations under which they are contemplated by the followers of the respective sciences shall be manifestly and palpably material to us as enjoying and suffering beings. If the time should ever come when what is now called science, thus familiarized to men, shall be ready to put on, as it were, a form of flesh and blood, then the poet will lend his divine spirit to aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the being thus produced as a dear and genuine inmate of the household of men." This utterance of half a century ago seems like prophecy now when the presaged changes are imminent. The conflict may nevertheless be protracted as long as either contestant is blinded to the real strength of his antagonist—senseless though it be to attempt the impossible divorce of the material from the immaterial, of matter from force, of the body from the spirit—that would be death. And it is the physicist himself who is loudest to proclaim that, without the force which gives motion to material particles, there is no light, no heat, no life.
Here I would repeat with emphasis, what I intimated in the beginning, that the microscopic eye which peers too long and too intently upon the motes of facts which play in the sunbeam, will be blinded to the force and beauty of the truths which both the motes and the beam conspire to announce.
In thus insisting upon the intimate relationships which I believe subsist between the offices of the imaginative and those of the reasoning faculty, I must not be misunderstood to depreciate or disparage the mighty prowess of the latter, which I love to contemplate. Pure reason, as expressed—I had nearly said symbolized—in the simple, faultless syllogism, has nothing to fear from the sovereignty of the imagination. It is beautiful and fearful to see that clear, cold, naked blade, gleaming with steel-blue temper, resistlessly incisive—to see it cleave with equal ease the solid ingot of ignorance and the gossamer web of illusion—to see it work like a giant steam-hammer, smoothly, noiselessly, and irresistibly, whether its power be adjusted to the cracking of an egg-shell of superfine subtilties, or the forging of the massive links by which it is anchored secure in a storm of error. Yet this Titan is not omnipotent ; its powers are limited; and it is precisely at the point where reason hesitates that the office of imagination begins. The higher faculty takes up the story when reason omits to point the moral, and adorns the tale that Nature tells to man. It brings her seeming discords into one grand harmony, and crowns the noble shaft of Science with the immortal wreath of Art.
I speak of imagination in its full development, and in the truest, highest, and best sense that the term can bear; and I am reminded here to draw a broad, even if a devious and uncertain, line of distinction between this splendid faculty and mere Fancy—a pert Miss, whose wills-o'-the-wisp are too often mistaken for the head-light of the imagination. I will not weary you with over-nice formalities of definition in a case where shades of difference blend. Know, by their fruits, that fancy is a parody on imagination. The play of fancy is quips and quirks and airy nothings, and the whole mob of littlenesses we call smart and clever. The working of imagination breathes life into marble and canvas, inspires the drama, the poem, the symphony, and vivifies systems of religion.
What faculty but the imaginative can conceive, what but the power of the imagination itself can convey, the full meaning of this soul of genius? It is creative; and, when this is said, expression falters by the wayside of anticlimax. If there be within us one single spark of the divine fire, this spark it is that sends "the long light shaking" from pillar to pillar of the temple that the lesser god of the imagination rears to a God eternal, till it irradiates the shrine where all men sooner or later must kneel in devotion ; and we, who now gaze wistfully at the veil which screens the inner sanctuary from eyes profane, may yet be permitted to kiss the hem of a seamless garment. Oh, the searching, the far-reaching insight of the epigram, "If there be no God, man must invent one!" Invention, conception, imagination, creation, are synonymous, and in one sense convertible terms.
The pleasures of the imagination—if so slight an expression may hint at a meaning, the fullness of which is rapture or transport—are manifold, and too manifest to require subtilty of discrimination for their recognition and explanation. These are among the things of blessed memory, of blissful hope, and among those the reality and universality of which are confirmed by all experience. Even those who cuddle the bantlings of their fancy, in the fond delusion that they nurture the offspring of the fertile mother, feel somewhat of the charm indescribable. What, then, the serenity, what the majestic repose, of the creators of thought after their labor, we may only faintly imagine.
What of the pangs and penalties now—what of the price to be paid for this power? To bring forth in travail was not the sentence of one-half the human race alone. There have been those, indeed, like Raphael, who have wrought the miracles of imagination in the sunshine of the heart, to sweet music of the soul; but oh, so few escape the throes of thought-birth! Physiologists tell us of a certain mental process they call "unconscious cerebration." The operation of the imagination unconscious of labor is better known by another name—inspiration; its expression is revelation; its mouth-piece the seer. But rare clay, and only the finest, incases such spirits; men must work in the storm, in sorrow and suffering, each to his measure of creative ability. Let us never forget, in the terrible struggle for expression, that it is given to lips which press the sword of pain to speak to fellow-men the words "Go thou up higher!"
I crave your indulgence for one other thought. Authority and responsibility go hand-in-hand with equal pace. The measure of creative ability is the measure of accountability for its exercise, and the measure of the penalty which perversion of the godlike faculty entails. Like every other energy in Nature, the imagination is equally potent for good and for evil. Let the bravest man tell me he never shudders when he looks within, at the possibilities there disclosed. There is power to make this earth seem nearer heaven or hell. Whose rebellious imagination conceived it were better to reign below than to serve above? Sound is as full of discord as of harmony. Light may blind us, or guide us on our way. Heat constructs and heat destroys. The dual nature of every force wars with its opposite. The imagination is equally potent to sanctify and to pollute. Guard, then, this gift with fear and trembling; great issues depend upon this most powerful, most perilous, and most precious endowment of the intellect. Not like the victor in history need we sigh for other worlds to conquer, if we move the world of the imagination to the ends of truth and beauty; for a greater triumph is ours then, and the soul may leap at the inward shout, "Victory! victory! conquest of self!"
- Read before the Literary Society of Washington, D.C., March 17, 1877.
- Although, in the sphere of imagination, "facts" are apt to be regarded as troublesome and impertinent, and looseness of statement as only a very venial transgression, yet, for the benefit of those readers who care for accuracy, it may be stated that the author of this celebrated phrase, that has given so much offense to artistic and poetic minds, did not use it in the manner here stated. Prof. Huxley has never, as we are aware, "stigmatized poetry as sensuous caterwauling." It was not poetry itself, but only some poetry, to which he applied this eminently felicitous epithet; and if Wordsworth were living, he would no doubt cordially indorse it. We give the memorable passage, as it will bear frequent repeating.—(Ed.) the whole world more saddening and more revolting than is offered by men sunk in ignorance of everything but that other men have written—seemingly devoid of moral belief or guidance, but with the sense of beauty so keen, and the power of expression so cultivated, that their sensuous caterwauling may be almost mistaken for the music of the spheres.
"At present, education is almost entirely devoted to the cultivation of the power of expression and of the sense of literary beauty. The matter of having anything to say beyond a hash of other people's opinions, or of possessing any criterion of beauty, so that we may distinguish between the godlike and the devilish, is left aside as of no moment. I think I do not err in saying that, if science were made the foundation of education, instead of being, at most, stuck on as a cornice to the edifice, this state of things could not exist."
- Quoted from E. C. Stedman's "Victorian Poets," the page where Wordsworth is thus reproduced being further laid under contribution.
- "In seinen Göttern malet sich der Mensch."—Goethe.

Remember all of the offseason drama between Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets? How the team caved in and gave him a 1-year deal worth $12 million?
Sure, hindsight is 20/20. But it’s amazing how quickly the wheels can fall off in the NFL. Fitz will ride the bench after posting the same number of fumbles and INTs (5) as TDs.
Geno Smith’s first start of 2016 is just one storyline to watch as we reach Week 7. Here are some of the others to focus on for fantasy football.
Brian Hoyer at Green Bay Packers
Hoyer’s posted 300+ yards in 4 straight outings. Three of those 4 games found him toss 2 TD passes, although he was held scoreless last Sunday vs. the Jags. He should find better TD luck this week vs. a Packers secondary that will be without CBs Sam Shields, Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins.
Kirk Cousins at Detroit Lions
Facing the Eagles last week — without Jordan Reed — Cousins threw for 263 yards, 2 scores and 1 INT on a modest 34 attempts. Reed might return this week. But even without him, there’s plenty of upside against a lousy Lions defense. In Week 6, they surrendered a mind-boggling 321-3 line to Case Keenum, who completed 84.4% of his passes.
Carson Palmer vs. Seattle Seahawks
Seattle showed that they were beatable — even at home — last week vs. Matt Ryan. The Falcons QB is playing elite ball right now, though, while Palmer’s struggling to connect with anyone not named Larry Fitzgerald.
Palmer owns just 2 TD passes over his last 2 games. A banged up O-line has hurt, but he simply doesn’t look like the same guy from 2015. Given his age (almost 37) physical decline is a real possibility.
Jerick McKinnon at Philadelphia Eagles
Coming off a bye, McKinnon and the Vikings should be fresh for a road date with the Eagles.
Philly looked like a tough rushing matchup before last week. Then, Matt Jones and the Redskins combined for 231 yards on 30 attempts. McKinnon remains in a timeshare, but 15+ touches are within reach and make him a fine RB2/flex.
Jacquizz Rodgers at San Francisco 49ers
Doug Martin (hamstring) suffered a recent setback, putting Rodgers in line for another start. The Bucs clearly weren’t afraid to unleash him against the Panthers back in Week 5, as the former Falcon rushed 30 times and drew 6 targets. He’ll carry obvious upside against an up-tempo 49ers offense and a defense that’s allowed the 2nd most fantasy points per game to the position.
*Also keep an eye on the status of LeSean McCoy, who left practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury. If he misses Sunday’s game with Miami, former Dolphin Mike Gillislee would likely see the bulk of the work.
San Francisco RBs vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
HC Chip Kelly said Wednesday that it would be a “stretch” for Carlos Hyde to play vs. Tampa Bay. Later that day, he was ruled out. That’ll shift the backfield production to youngster Mike Davis and veteran Shaun Draughn.
Unfortunately, they get a tough matchup this week against the Bucs, a team that’s much weaker in the secondary. They’re also expected to get stud DT Gerald McCoy back from injury. I’d take a shot on Davis if you’re in a bind, but ideally you’d avoid this low-upside duo altogether.
Golden Tate vs. Washington Redskins
Tate erupted last week with 8 catches, 165 yards and his 1st score of 2016. Now comes another plus matchup against Washington, one that should find the Lions continuing to lean pass. Theo Riddick missed practice Wednesday, as did TE Eric Ebron. Tate likely earned a bigger role after the breakout, and fantasy owners should get him back into lineups as a WR3/flex.
Tyrell Williams at Atlanta Falcons
Volume figures to aid Williams to a nice day against the Falcons.
For starters, the Chargers are installed as 6.5-point road underdogs. And the Vegas over/under here is 53.5 — highest of any Week 7 game. So it’s reasonable to expect Atlanta to put up points, forcing San Diego to throw more often.
A couple of extra targets should also funnel Williams’ way if teammate Travis Benjamin sits out. He missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. Either way, Williams is emerging as the top WR in San Diego, helping his case for fantasy consideration.
Will Fuller at Denver Broncos
He’s explosive. He’s electric. He can return fantasy value with just 1 long catch.
But against the Broncos, it’s rarely a good idea to roll out WRs. They’ve surrendered just 1 score to the position this season. Only Kelvin Benjamin — back in Week 1 — found the end zone. He’s also the only WR who’s topped 80 yards vs. Denver.
Fuller’s hamstring injury only adds extra risk. He didn’t play on Sunday night despite being listed as active.
Charles Clay at Miami Dolphins
Clay should see plenty of opportunities against his old team.
Robert Woods has been in a walking boot this week, and he even admitted his foot “gave out” in Week 6. If he’s sidelined, Buffalo would enter Sunday with an extremely thin group of pass catchers. Clay’s already seen a boost in looks of late with 7, 5 and 7 targets over the past 3 weeks.
Consider him a relatively high-floor PPR option against a Miami defense that just lost 1 of the best safeties league-wide (Reshad Jones).
Coby Fleener at Kansas City Chiefs
It might be tempting to play Fleener following a big game (6-74-1, plus a rushing TD). But away from the Superdome, he’s managed only 5 catches for 48 yards this season (2 games).
Sure, that’s a small sample size. Drew Brees, however, owns lengthy home/road splits. He’s also spread the ball around quite a bit this season — 10 different Saints caught passes on Sunday.
The Chiefs don’t present a favorable matchup, either. They’ve allowed just 1 TE score this year, while not a single TE has topped 30 yards.

"The City as Studio"
This year’s theme explores the impact of the urban environment on Chicago artists and their work, and the contributions that artists make to the vitality of our city. The place where art is imagined and made, whether in a physical or virtual space, affects the idea, the process and the final product. And the art, once created, leaves a mark on the place it occupies. Chicago Artists Month 2010 looks at how the city influences art and artists, and how artists transform the city by contributing to civic dialogue and quality of life.
The Phantom Gallery seeks to provide a model situation for emerging curators to gain practical curating experience, and to critically reflect on the issues involved.
The aim of the Phantom Galleries during Chicago Artists Month is to examine changes in current curatoral production and to develop innovative displays in relation to these physical storefronts or virtual spaces.
BRIEF description of the proposed program: Transforming Urban...
Curating means the creation of innovative structures for the presentation of cultural artefacts through interdisciplinary collaboration. In this field, art, digital media, and design relate in new ways to one another. The last few years have seen curators working in increasingly close collaboration with artists, designers, and educationalists on the development of exhibitions, projects in the public sphere, the design of museum spaces, and the presentation of collections. Contemporary exhibitions are changing, with new interpretative strategies complementing the integration into exhibitions of innovative display structures, lounge areas, archives, reading rooms, and new media interfaces.
This project will be sponsored by Lauren G Lowery, Vice President

Some cars have comfortable seats. Others have comfortable suspension. The C5 Aircross, Citroen's new foray into the world of the family crossover (yes, another niche we probably didn't see coming) has both.
Citroen, let's not forget, is known for bolting on some pretty revolutionary suspension technology. It's been doing it for years and the latest car to break from a conventional setup is the Aircross.
The system is pretty complicated in how it does things, but the result is quite remarkable. To put it as simply as possible, it uses something called "Progressive Hydraulic Cushions" to, well, cushion either end of the suspension travel.
It's designed to avoid sudden jolts and the effect, Citroen says, is the feeling of "flying" over the road. They're not far wrong, actually. It's very impressive.
They've also gone to town on the seats. Using a combination of high-density foam topped with thick, textured foam on the surface, your posterior will thank you for plonking it in an Aircross.
And then there's extra sound-deadening with insulated windows. It all adds up to a very relaxing ride.
I know what you're thinking. This clever suspension sounds like it's going to handle like a dog's dinner on the road. Actually, it's pretty good. Obviously it's no sports car, but firm, sporty rides seem to characterise this segment so a soft ride is a refreshing change. Not only that, but it doesn't roll like you'd expect it to.
That clever suspension keeps it all in check very well. It'll pitch a bit under breaking, but that's not the sort of thing that'll make your occupants sick. All in all it sets out to do what it promises. It's an extremely comfortable car.
I wouldn't say it's a looker though. I guess you'd call it stylish. A break from the norm, if you're being particularly kind, but the high front-end and a few fussy details mean it takes time to get to like it.
The interior's nice though. Those comfy seats give it an air of luxury, which is almost at odds with a sort of utilitarian look to the dashboard. This being a car that's capable of riding over rough terrain, Citroen's gone with a macho, angular dash, mixed up with some quality materials and a few modern touches. I quite like it.
There's decent legroom in the back, and the seats move around individually, or fold down flat for a gaping boot, and the boot, incidentally, gives a minimum of 580 litres, which is pretty impressive.
If I had to grumble, I'd leap on my usual bandwagon about too many functions being buried in menus in the infotainment system. And, although my test model came with a wireless charging pad, I couldn't get my large smartphone to sit on the right spot. It just slid away from the wireless bit.
The range of engines is pretty much standard Peugeot/Citroen fare and they're all pretty good. CO2 numbers start at under 110g/km for the small diesel in manual or auto, rising to a respectable 129g/km for the 180bhp petrol auto. We're also told a plug-in hybrid is on the way, which should be good.
Overall, the C5 Aircross is hard to dislike. It feels laid-back but ready for the rigours of family life. It's capable, practical and stylish - if not necessarily attractive. There's plenty of cars to choose from in this segment, but Citroen's just made your choice quite a bit harder.

Outside of Palm Springs, amid the country’s legendary golf courses, exists a private facility for well-heeled petrol heads. Situated on 344 acres, the Thermal Club provides its members everything they need to live a car enthusiast’s dream.
Combining on-track thrills with the grandeur of a country club, Thermal Club features a luxurious clubhouse, a Motorsports Village plaza, an athletic facility, spa, pools and tennis courts. Buildings showcase contemporary Spanish architecture.
Becoming a member affords access to amenities and racetracks, and qualifies you to purchase a home site within the club’s grounds where you can build your dream home built to your own desires and preferences.
Villas are not only luxurious vacation homes, but car galleries— where you can display 15 or more vehicles in a garage and still find room to park an RV. Ranging between 6,000 to 15,000 square feet, most villas have three to five bedrooms and offer views of the track. The design of a villa can mimic the Spanish mission architecture of the club, although custom homes can also be commissioned. Most villas are located around one of the club’s three racing circuits, with a selection providing direct access to a track.
Each racing circuit is distinguished by unique features and can be combined to create a 5.1-mile loop. The tracks incorporate state-of-the-art safety measures. Each circuit designed by acclaimed track designer Alan Wilson.
While racing is the keystone of the community, the experience goes well beyond. The Member’s Club houses a European-inspired spa, café and bar. Large family and kids rooms are available. Two outdoor pools offer an escape from the desert climate. The facility also features basketball, tennis and pickleball courts.
At the center of the club is Motorsports Village, a collection of buildings that support the racing operation. The Village’s main garage has a professional shop with lifts, tools, diagnostic computers and skilled mechanics. The shop not only prepares a member’s racing car, but services and details personal vehicles as well.
Directly across from the shop is a climate-controlled, secure garage where members store cars and the club’s racing crew prepares for on-track action. When track time ends, the crew will perform a systems check, make repairs or adjustments, and then give the vehicle a wash and detailing.
The crown jewel of Motorsports Village is the clubhouse, which offers meeting spaces and a large dining room with racing-inspired paintings on every wall. A viewing tower offers a visual vantage of the tracks, as well as the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains.
Further details and information about membership can be obtained at www.TheThermalClub.com

Hair loss is extremely common and is something that almost everyone is likely to experience at a period of their life. Hair loss can occur for a variety of different reasons, such as alopecia, aging, and stress. As there are different causes of hair loss, there are also a variety of treatments.
Some types of hair loss, such as stress related hair loss, will resume the normal growth phase after a few months, and will, in most cases, need no medical attention. However, other types of hair loss such as Androgenetic Alopecia and Non-Pattern hair loss will need to be treated to prompt regrowth. In some cases this can be done through medication or through the popular FUE hair transplant method.
A hair transplant is a medical procedure used to treat hair loss and balding. It is a technique that moves individual hair follicles from one area of the head, the donor site – typically the sides or the back of the head – to either a bald or balding area of the head, the recipient site. The transplant works by taking hair follicles from areas of the scalp that have fuller hair and moves them to areas that have either none, or much less hair.
A FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant works by using a micro surgical extraction instrument to remove individual hair follicles whilst under local anaesthesia.
The scalp area that is to receive the grafts is then punctured with the use of a specialist micro surgical needle. Our expert surgeons then insert each hair graft into the scalp at an angle and density that will match the original hair. Our surgeons are experts at blending the hair so that it will resemble a natural and realistic hair pattern.
As previously mentioned, hair loss can be caused for a variety of different reasons, some of which are not permanent and your hair will resume its normal growth cycle with no treatment needed.
There are also ranges of medications available that can help with hair loss. However, there are very few that have been proven to stop hair loss or reverse the effects of balding and hair loss.
At the Harley Street Hair Clinic, we believe that a hair transplant is the best solution for hair loss. We take each client through an advanced consultation to discover the cause of their hair loss, and to work out the best cause of treatments.
If you are considering hair loss treatment, book a consultation with us and we can work together to ensure you get the perfect treatment.
The results from a hair transplant are not necessarily permanent. However, they are extremely long lasting and one of the most successful treatments for hair loss. The hair transplant will follow the behaviour of where the hair came from, this will in most cases mean the hair should continue to grow, as it did in the donor area.
During your personal consultation, we will ensure you are a suitable candidate for a hair transplant and investigate into your age, family history of hair loss and type of hair loss to ensure our treatment is right for you. Although we cannot guarantee the treatment will be permanent we will do everything possible to ensure the treatment works as well as possible for you.

This is what a friendly alien encounter looks like if the UFOs decide to paint their vessel bianco.
"Subtle" is not a word that has ever existed in the Lamborghini lexicon. Their latest effort, the nine-off Veneno Roadster, is so ridiculous it needs a new word to describe it. Like fridiculous. Yeah, that'll do.
It turns out there were people who looked at the ultra extreme, four-off, $4.6 million Lamborghini Veneno from earlier this year and said "Um, that's nice… but what else ya got?"

Discount retailer TJX Companies Inc (NYSE:TJX) early Tuesday posted better-than-expected third quarter earnings results, but its fourth quarter outlook was hampered by expectations of higher wages and negative currency impacts.
The Framingham, MA-based company reported Q3 net income of $0.91 per share, which was $0.04 better than the Wall Street consensus of $0.87. Revenue jumped 6.9% from last year to $8.29 billion, also topping estimates for $8.23 billion.
Comparable store sales rose 5% in the latest period, which was much better than TJX’s 2% to 3% guidance. Those results include a 5% rise for TJ Maxx stores, and a 6% gain at HomeGoods stores.
Looking ahead, TJX forecast Q4 earnings to range from $0.96 to $0.98 per share, which would miss Wall Street’s $1.02 estimate. The company noted that the weaker forecast was due to expectations of wage increases, which will negatively impact EPS growth by 3%. Foreign currency exchange headwinds will also hurt EPS growth by 6%.
TJX forecast consolidated comparable store sales growth of 1% to 2% for Q4, which would be much lower than the 6% increase seen in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The company commented via press release:
“Again this quarter, our comp store sales growth was primarily driven by customer traffic. We are convinced that we are gaining consumer market share across all of our divisions! Further, our merchandise margin was up strongly. We have numerous initiatives underway to drive customers to our stores this holiday selling season and keep them coming back.”
TJX shares rose $0.53 (+0.71%) to $74.75 in premarket trading Tuesday. Prior to today’s report, TJX shares had gained 4.67% year-to-date, slightly trailing the S&P 500 index’s 6.24% rise during the same period.

I’m not the biggest fan of hummus so, when one of Seamus Mullen and Fran Drescher’s demonstrations at the Health & Fitness Expo at Metlife Stadium was carrot hummus, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know you could make hummus out of carrots!
Weekends in my household are usually full-on cheat days; counting macros, water intake, and working out Monday-Friday. But after 5PM on Friday, all bets are off. There have been no thoughts towards what was going into my body…. until recently. With mine and my boyfriend’s 30th birthdays quickly approaching, we both agreed that our ful-on cheat weekends are no longer acceptable. Not only that but, how am I supposed to get the results I work so hard for during the week if I’m just going to undo it all each weekend? Slowly but surely our weekend diet has been progressing. This weekend we thought of ordering a pizza but, not only was that the opposite of a healthy option but we were also trying not to spend money. So, what did we do? We raided our cabinets! We found all kinds of things to make a healthy cheat. We ended up with a whole wheat pasta in a spicy pesto with a side arugula salad.
SPICY PESTO PASTA
-Whole Wheat Pasta (we used ½ box of penne & rotini combined)
-1 c. Fresh Basil Leaves
-1/3 c. Olive Oil
-1/3 c. Pine Nuts
-1 tbps. Grated Parmesan Cheese
-1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
-Salt & Pepper to taste
-3 Cloves of Garlic
-1 Red Jalapeno (optional-this is where the “spicy” comes in
-1/2 Container Organic Baby Arugula
-1/4 c. Cranberries
-1/4 c. sliced almonds (hand crumbled)
-2 tsp. grated parmesan cheese
-Homemade Oil & Vinegar (you can use store bought if you’d prefer)
-1/2 c. Vinegar
-1/2 c. Olive Oil
-1 tsp. of Dried Basil
-1 tsp. of Oregano
-Salt & Pepper to Taste
-Garlic Powder to taste
-A squirt of lemon juice
SPICY PESTO PASTA
- Fire roast jalapeño on stove over open flame until blackened on all sides
- Remove stem & seeds
- Combine all ingredients (except the pasta) in a food processor, blend to fine texture
- Pour over cooked pasta, stir until evenly distributed
- Combine all ingredients, hand toss
OIL & VINEGAR
- Use a mortar and pestle to combine basil, oregano, salt, pepper, & garlic powder. Grind until find.
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl (I used a salad dressing bottle with mixer – originally purchased at Sur La Table), mix well.
This meal really hit the spot without feeling guilty, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Please share you’re pictures of your meal along with anything you may have done differently. Stay tuned for more recipes!
Going to the gym is stressful enough without other members disturbing your gym experience. You may have encountered someone like that or you may be that person to disrupt someone else. After speaking with a few fellow gym goers, I found we all have similar gym pet peeves.
1. PEOPLE WHO DON’T RE-RACK
Many times I find myself scared for my safety trying to switch off weights that were left on a machine. The point of these weights are to lift them, right? So, why not lift them one more time to put them back?
2. PEOPLE WHO DON’T CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES
The gym is filled with germs as it is so, if you sweat all over the equipment, please wipe the machine down when you’re done. There are spray bottles for a reason.
Also, there are garbage cans at every turn. Please use them instead of leaving your trash in machines.
3. USING CELL PHONES ON EQUIPMENT/PEOPLE HANGING OUT ON EQUIPMENT THEY AREN’T USING
We’re all there for a reason, to work out! Don’t get on a machine just to make a phone call. If you’re talking on the phone, chances are you’re not working hard enough for your exercise to be effective. Let someone else have the chance to use the machine.
You may have made friends at the gym. Great! But, talk to them on the side where you’re not in the way.
4. GETTING ON A TREADMILL NEXT TO SOMEONE WHEN THERE IS A FULL EMPTY ROW
Two words – PERSONAL SPACE!
5. SIZING SOMEONE UP
No one is there to be judged. They are there to better themselves. Everyone is on their own journey at their own pace. There is no need to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Keep your judgement to yourself!
Speaking of sizing someone up and personal space – Guys (and girls), don’t be a creep. The last thing someone wants is to be ogled or approached with some absurd pick up line while they’re trying to work out.
So, be courteous people! You’re not the only one at the gym!
Hey Bodscapers! Welcome to my blog! Now, before you get the wrong idea, I just want to make it clear that I am not a nutritionist, I am not a fitness professional, and I am definitely not a fitness model. I am just someone who found her passion a little later than she would have liked to. I wish I had known years ago that I would be so interested in health and fitness and wanted to make a career out of it. IE: Gym Teacher, Nutritionist, Health Educator.
For a few years now, I’ve known that I was very interested in everything health and fitness since I started learning about my own health and getting fit. I’ve been on a very long journey and it wasn’t up until very recently that I had wished I would have worked toward some kind of career.
I signed up for my very first gym membership at Retro Fitness in 2013. My boyfriend was in a touring band, so I always wanted to look my best for his return. After getting a few mani/pedis, I realized joining a gym and getting a sick body was cheaper than spending $50 every couple of weeks. Not to mention, more rewarding to the both of us. Although I signed up for the gym a year before, it really all started in 2014 when I got my first medical billing job after getting my billing and coding certification.
I was working for a multi-specialty practice where the employees were able to see any doctor for any reason cost free. Let me tell you, I DEFINITELY took advantage of that. I hadn’t seen a doctor in I don’t even know how long so, I decided to get a physical. Unsurprisingly, my blood test results came back to show I had hypothyroidism. I say unsurprisingly because I was diagnosed when I was 14 years old. Of course, when I was 14 I didn’t really understand or care what hypothyroidism was, and I was not about having to take a pill every day for the rest of my life.
After being diagnosed a second time, I told a coworker whose response was “Wow, you might be a totally different person”. She proceeded to tell me why and my life immediately made sense. Soon after my new PCP referred me to the endocrinologist in the practice, I made an appointment for a consultation. Long story short, she confirmed my hypothyroidism and that it was due to hashimoto’s disease and diagnosed me with PCOS as well. I started treatment and since following my endo’s diet and exercise plan, I lost almost 20lbs and was in the best shape of my life by summer 2015.
I became obsessed and was researching every little thing. Why are muscles sore? What do they look like after a work out? What are Macros? What is a calorie? How much water should I drink? How much should I be eating? What should I be eating? What does fat look like? What is hypothyroidism? Hypothyroidism diets? What is the best way to burn fat? You get the point.
Fast forward, to the end of August 2015 – I moved out of the house that my brother and I shared with our significant others and a roommate. I wanted to enjoy my apartment and it was 5 mins further from the gym (tough right?) so, I took a little break from working out.
Fast forward again to October 2015 – I left the job that I loved after 1.5 years for another job that would pay me more. I could immediately tell that this was not the job I would be staying at. I lasted 5 months before I finally found a new job and, in that time, I gained about 35lbs! Before I found a new job, I would go home and cry every day. I would treat myself by eating junk food and drinking wine and relaxing on the couch. After 5 months of misery, I finally found a new job, however, I didn’t turn myself around right away. It was probably 6 months into working at my new job that I one day looked in the mirror and saw fat on myself that I didn’t even know fat could store. At 167lbs, I was the heaviest I’d ever been, and it was time to make a change. Not to mention, I was going to be a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding in June 2017 which was only 8 months away!
I told my future sister-in-law and the rest of the bridesmaids that I planned to lose 30lbs and, with guidance from my endocrinologist, diet and exercise I lost 31 lbs. By the time it came to get my dress altered, I was 2 dress sizes down!
By June 2017, my brother was married to his new wife. Almost a year later, I gained about 10lbs back but am in good shape. I work with a trainer and am aware of everything that goes into my body. I continue to research about nutrition and exercise and continue to work hard.
If you follow my blog, I will continue to share my story along with my knowledge and progress. I hope to help and motivate those in need. Like I said in the beginning, I am NOT a professional! Just someone with a passion….
Until next time!
