Prep Football: Coast Union hires former assistant coach to replace Clements
Coast Union High has hired Ron Garcia to be its new head varsity football coach.
Garcia, 49, is taking over for David Clements, who was let go in late November soon after the Broncos completed a 1-9 season. Garcia served as a line assistant for Coast Union's varsity squad from 2006 to 2008. He took this past season off because of a different teaching schedule.
Garcia also served as a line coach at Selma High in the Fresno area from 1983 to 1984 and then at Clark Intermediate Junior High in Clovis in 1986 before becoming the head junior varsity coach at Fowler High in 1987. Soon after, he began a lengthy stretch as a school administrator before returning to coaching at Coast Union.
Garcia, a Caruthers native, teaches social studies at Coast Union.
He interviewed Monday and was notified he got the job Tuesday.
"I'm really appreciative of the opportunity," Garcia said. "I'm really excited. We get a chance at Coast Union to work with some really quality kids."
Garcia's previous coaching experience at Coast Union was key in the hiring decision, Broncos athletic director Bill Clough said, as was his already having a teaching position at the Cambria school with an enrollment of roughly 300.
"It was actually a pretty easy thought process," Clough said.
Coast Union went 16-26 during Clements' four-year stint guiding the program. Clements directed the Broncos to the playoffs in 2006 and 2007 before going a combined 3-17 over the past two years.
Coast Union's roster size thinned to just 21 players this past season, and the school was unable to field a JV team for the first time in recent memory.
Garcia said he and Clough are "optimistic" the school will be able to have a JV in 2010. Nearly 30 percent of the players on last year's varsity were underclassmen.
Garcia said he doesn't plan on emphasizing football as a year-round sport with regard to training and preparation because of the school's small enrollment, which typically fosters more multi-sport athletes than larger enrollments.
"We're going to provide opportunities all year long for kids to work out and get into the weight room, but it's not going to be mandated," said Garcia, who has also coached the Broncos' boys tennis team.
"Being a school administrator, I know there's only a limited amount of athletes, and you have to be supportive of other sports. Otherwise those other programs (might) fold."
One of the positives of having such a young outfit this past year, Garcia said, is that the Broncos do return some promising talent.
Running backs Zach Brooke and Sam Rivera, namely, combined to rush for 1,284 yards this past season as juniors.
Garcia said he plans on particularly focusing on the run both offensively and defensively, given the nature of Division V of the CIF-Central Section, in which the Broncos play.
"I'm a big believer that, if you take a look at the Central Section and this division, if you look at the playoff results from last week, it's pretty clear you need to be able to run the football and be able to stop the run."
Prior to the start of this school year, Coast Union was accepted into the Southern Section in all sports except football. The school's sports programs are independent outside of football, which competes in the West Sierra League.
Coast Union's ultimate goal is to eventually gain admission in non-football sports to the Coast Valley League, in which fellow San Luis Obispo County teams North County Christian, Coastal Christian and Shandon play.
The other teams in the CVL are Valley Christian of Santa Maria, Cuyama Valley and Maricopa.

Glow Furniture pieces get their name because they rely on internally mounted, battery-powered LEDs to cast colored light through a type of plastic called polyethylene. In a dimly lit or darkened room, this light creates a vivid glowing effect. In recent years, these pieces have become a popular choice for event planners who want to create a fun, festive lounge environment. At Pico Party Rental, we carry a broad selection of glow pieces, including chairs, coffee tables, low and high cocktail tables, and glow cubes that you can use for visual interest or stack together to create eye-catching table legs. Our inventory also includes a large selection of glow patio bars and glow martini bars.

Use quotation marks: 5 points
Use the sketch: 10 points
Use the sketch: 10 points
Here's my take on the challenge:
My Dad was a huge Elvis fan and hated impersonators. He'd always say something like "nobody does it ike Elvis does it".
So, for the points:
American ~ Elvis, what more do you need? LOL
Stars and stripes both used
Stickles Glitter on Elvis' buttons
Quotation Marks on the phrase
Sketch used as it is for a change and not turned round and flipped over
Pleased to claim full marks for my team The Ruby Snippers
Base card is Bazzill and the patterned and green card is Three Bugs in a Rug ~ Seeing Stars from Charmed. The Elvis picture is a bonus coloured image from the downloadable Rock & Roll Dottie and George collection by the talented Lou and also available from Charmed.
For my card, I have had most of it made for a little while, I just needed to add the image as the first attempt went wrong. My cousin's DH turned 60, so I made this for him using the bonus coloured image from the downloadable Rock & Roll Dottie and George collection by Lou and once again available from Charmed.

My parents had a good harvest this year, and they passed some of their bounty on to me and each of my siblings. I love fresh produce from the garden. Mom was proud they weren't using anything toxic on the food. Homegrown food tastes so much better than store-bought.
Of course, I had to make a salad. I just couldn't resist. And it came out so good I wanted to share the recipe with you.
The ingredients from the garden were: Kale, kohlrabi, tomato, cucumber, and zucchini. Having these items on hand cut the cost of the salad significantly.
I also used leftover roasted squash and sweet potato to cut costs. I wasn't sure how it would be with these items, but it turned out well. They had been refrigerated and were cold when I added them.
I started out by roasting 3 small turkey breasts, cutting them into bite size pieces when they were done, and letting them cool in the refrigerator earlier in the day.
The lettuce mix was organic, a find at Walmart. Four different kinds, unspecified. I used the whole thing.
I did'nt really measure things out, but knew I wanted it to last for the better part of the week. I just threw everything in together. As for vegetables, I don't peel them all. For instance, zucchini and cucumbers are never peeled. I do take the ends off though.
lettuce mix, organic
zucchini, chopped
leftover turkey
dried cranberries
leftover roasted squash and sweet potato
- Wash all the produce, patting dry with a clean towel.
- Chop the lettuces and kale into bite size pieces and place into a large bowl.
- Peel and chop the Kohlrabi, adding it to the bowl.
- Dice the tomato and put it over the lettuce mix as well.
- Cut the ends off the cucumber and the zucchini. Chop and place in the bowl.
- Cut the turkey into bite size pieces, and place in the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Sprinkle dried cranberries over everything.
- Cut the roasted squash and potatoes into bite size pieces and add to the bowl.
- Toss everything with your hands or tongs.
This made so much that it filled two midsize bowls. There was plenty to eat for five days. I had some with each lunch and dinner, and a small bowl as a snack every couple of days.
- This is a great recipe in that you can use whatever is harvested at the time you make it. Things that are picked here in Maine may not be ready in your area, so it is okay to switch things up.
- Depending on what leftovers you have and what items are available in the garden, this recipe might cost next to nothing. Buy what is affordable where you are.
- Use coupons, if available, when shopping for what you need, but only if doing so will save you money over buying a different brand.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a bowl of Easy Autumn Soup for a nice lunch.
- This would also be a great side salad with your Mabon or Thanksgiving Meal.

Detroit, Michigan, is world famous as the "Motor City" and the former home of Motown Records. But despite Detroit's iconic status in American history, "Hitsville U.S.A." has seen a declining population in the past few decades. Since 1950, the city has lost more than half its population, from a high of 1.8 million in 1950 to about 688,000 in 2015. This decline is frequently attributed to the loss of jobs, which has resulted in a depressed local economy and a high crime rate.
According to Forbes.com, the city currently has only 20,000 workers employed in manufacturing jobs, whereas in 1950, the number was closer to 200,000. Only two major factories remain in the city. Unfortunately, lower employment rates frequently result in higher crime, and Detroit has the highest violent crime rate of any major U.S. city. A recent citywide survey determined that about 70 percent of the city's crime is drug-related. Detroit's crime centers are also concentrated in specific areas, rather than being spread across town.

The sea: a large expanse of saline water wholly unpredictable in its movements, reactions and consistency. As a musical inspiration, it leaves the door wide open for interpretation: a brutal storms barrage of incessant, furious noise, the placidity of open water on a calm, sunny day, or perhaps the ebb and flow of tide against tide creating a continuous lapping of sound. The possibilities are endless and almost always intriguing. In the minds of guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama, multi-instrumentalist Christian Kiefer and percussionist Kevin Corcoran, the sea is a poignant, incongruous and haunting body of sound. Their compositions only further the unnerving mystery that depths of dark water can inspire.
Low Cloud Means Death is not an album of sea chanteys or new age synth sprays. It is composed of abstruse and sedated improvisations. Akiyamas warm acoustic guitar tone contrasts heavily with the scrapes of Corcorans drum kit, neither succumbing to the temptation of a discernable melody or rhythm beyond momentary hiccups. Kiefer shades these thin skeletons of narration, typically with an extended bellow of accordion or delicate resonation of lightly tapped piano keys. Maybe its just my growing boredom with the layer of fuzzy static that seems to line every single underground rock release these days, but the craters or perhaps oceanic trenches is the better analogy of silence between each carefully plucked guitar string is less of a yawn and more of a deeply refreshing breath.
The most telling characteristic of the album either intentional or not is the way the music eventually settles into the ambiance of your surroundings. On several occasions, listening to the album while reading a book, I mistook the subtle work of the trio as a combination of the sheets of rain outside my window and the creeks of my apartment as it slowly swelled and retracted with the changing temperature. But I hesitate to call it ambient music. It is more a realist jazz: an acoustic interpretation of those solitary moments when your attention widens enough to enjoy the natural textures of your immediate environment. In this case: a foggy, disregarding sea.
Limited to 500 copies on Tulsas Digitalis Recordings, Low Cloud Means Death is less homage to the sea as it is a respectful bowing to its force. The title is taken from the Columbus quote, Nube abaxo es muerte, describing the dangerous nature of encountering a fog while afloat. The minimalist atonality of the album could very well be analogous to the quiet, uncertain confusion of trying to navigate a ship in such. And even the most melodic of the albums 10 pieces the finale, A Prodigality of Light has an undercurrent similar to the precariousness of the seas surface. Akiyama, Kiefer and Corcoran successfully create an atmosphere as mysterious as being at sea in any context really: deceptively calm, consistently ominous and always peculiar.

If you will have a small yard or garden, with restricted house for rising flowers, vegetables and fruit, you would possibly wish to contemplate studying the right way to vertical garden! We are redesigning our backyard chook area since a large useless tree should come down, and this will positively help. Our appreciation of what others are doing further proves how this interest bridges generations in more than garden and railroad methods. Add pieces of garden art, birdhouses and sculptures to perennial beds for winter impression. For the extra horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. The backyard might be designed for entertaining and playtime with seating, dining areas, play spaces and sunny leisure spots.
Container-grown vegatables and fruits profit from increased protection from soil-dwelling backyard pests. I am a horticulturalist and backyard designer with over 20 years of expertise in the Seattle area. Weight Restrictions: Garden containers might be pretty heavy, so this is is an important consideration for anybody hoping to put one on a balcony. Try considering outdoors of the field; a patio doesn't essentially have to be within the backyard.
Simple spiral notebooks now will be ordered with custom covers to make your backyard journal particular. Since I firmly imagine that everyone who needs a garden ought to have the ability to have one, I actually have thrown collectively a number of ideas you may not have seen earlier than. At Successful Garden Design I will educate you learn how to design your personal garden quickly and easily utilizing a simple step-by-step formula that anyone can observe. Garden writing demands photo illustrations, so that's one effort that's seeing extra development.
A bench in a garden makes an excellent reading or meditation spot, whereas a weatherproof chaise lounge, couch and chair are good for taking in those sunny days. Hair, in addition to purchased scent powders or sprays which might be used for creating this invisible deer border round your garden area should be reapplied on a regular basis or after each rain. It was so enjoyable to take a look at all the lovely garden photos and read your marvelously descriptive words.
Even in the event you don't, in early fall, you may layer newspapers, Starbuck's espresso grounds, grass clippings, leaves, hay, manure, kitchen scraps and different compostable supplies over the grass where you need your backyard to be. Then by spring, you'll have a nice planting bed in your backyard. I even have a fancy backyard journal or two that I never used as a result of they appeared too good to write down in! Different colors of plant containers can make a small house backyard more lively.

Little to No Rainfall This Summer Means the Sandy River Is Low
This has been a pretty great summer for Portland, only slightly reminiscent of the heatwave a few years ago, and nothing at all like last year's summer, which didn't see the rain abate until late June, and didn't see much sun at all in any sort of consistent fashion. Instead, there have been plenty of sunny summer days, with ample opportunities to get out into the great wide open nature that is so close to inner Portland's neighborhoods.
One of the things we've always loved is the proximity of the Sandy River — just about 20 minutes or less out on the 84 freeway east, off of Exit 18 and then another few miles up the mountain. Park for $5 in one of the city's parks and rec parking lots near the Dagby State Park, take the short walk through the woods and out to the river's edge. If you're looking for quiet, then plan on early in the week to mid-week, rather than Friday – Sunday. Summers bring many student-age teens to the river, along with music and lots of noise, so if that's not your thing, then plan accordingly.
Links and Resources to Info on the Sandy River, Oregon
The Sandy River runs approximately 56 miles total, and functions as a decent-sized tributary of the Columbia River. The US Geological Survey lumps the Sandy River in with the Bull Run River (these two coincide approximately 18 miles from the mouth of the Sandy), and approximates the river's average discharge into the Columbia at 2300 cubic feet per second.
The Sandy runs into the Columbia (together with the Bull Run) about 14 miles upstream of Portland proper.

Cutaneous vasculitis is a large, heterogeneous group of diseases in which blood vessels are targeted primarily by immunological and inflammatory reactions. Infections, medications, systemic collagenosis, chronic diseases and malignancies are secondary causes of cutaneous vasculitis. Hemangiomas are the most common primary benign tumors of the spinal cord, and these are rarely symptomatic, with the most common symptom being pain, while in rare cases it may lead to paraparesis and paralysis. Radiotherapy (RT) is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic spinal cord hemangiomas. A 44-year-old male patient was admitted to our dermatology polyclinic with a complaint of a rash on the bilateral legs lasting for one week. The medical history of the patient included no disease other than a sacral hemangioma, for which the patient was treated with 4500 cGy curative radiotherapy for a sacral hemangioma involving symptomatic pain one month previously. It was thought that cutaneous vasculitis was caused by the radiotherapy in our case without any triggering factor except radiotherapy. A skin biopsy was taken to make a definite diagnosis, and in a
histopathological examination, abundant amounts of extra-red blood cells and lymphocytes were observed, along with endothelial profiling in superficial vessels, consistent with vasculitis. The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous vasculitis, both clinically and histopathologically. To the best of our knowledge, radiotherapy as a cause of vasculitis has been the subject of very few studies in literature. In this regard, the present study presents a case in which cutaneous vasculitis was a possible immune side effect of RT.

What are half and quarter gold sovereigns?
The British Sovereign is the prize gold coin from The Royal Mint's bullion collection. Whilst the full gold Sovereign coin is widely sought after, half and quarter Sovereign coins are particularly popular amongst collectors, first-time investors and those shopping for a unique gift.
As they're a little smaller than a full Sovereign, these coins are therefore less expensive. But they still offer a good opportunity to own a high-quality, carefully minted gold bullion product from one of the best known mints in the world.
The half Sovereign coin contains 3.99g of the same fine 22 carat gold found in a full Sovereign, which contains 7.98g.
The quarter Sovereign coin is the smallest in the Sovereign family, containing just short of 2g of fine 22 carat gold. It makes an excellent starter coin for anyone who is new to collecting gold coins.
A brief history of the British gold Sovereign
First struck in 1489, the gold Sovereign coin is one of the oldest coins still being produced today. Named as a tribute to the king, it has depicted status and strength for over 500 years.
The half Sovereign was first introduced in 1544 during the reign of Henry VIII. The first quarter Sovereign coin was trailed in 1853, though it wasn't until recently – 2009, in fact – that the quarter Sovereign coin was made available to the public.
During the 19th century, the gold Sovereign was classed as legal tender in more than 20 countries around the world.
The modern Sovereign celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2017 with a gold coin featuring an exclusive shield mint mark and the same St George and the dragon design used in 1817.
Why buy half and quarter Sovereign coins?
The gold Sovereign coin is internationally recognised and The Royal Mint is one of the world's most admired refiners of gold.
Many collectors choose gold Sovereigns because they're well-known for their quality and accuracy. They also have a prominence within British history, making them especially appealing for those who enjoy the history of Britain and, in particular, the history of British coinage.
Due to their status as legal tender in the UK, full, half and quarter Sovereign coins are exempt from VAT and capital gains tax, meaning UK residents can trade them without owing tax on the profit.
Where to buy British half and quarter Sovereigns
Whilst half and quarter Sovereign coins hold a face value, the price you can expect to pay for them will depend on the live price of gold at any given time.
The Gold Bullion Co. offer competitive, real-time pricing that's based on the live price of gold. With thousands of positive customer reviews and fast, fully-insured delivery, it's easy to see why we're one of the UK's most trusted and well-used distributors.
Browse the full range of half and quarter Sovereign coins now to make your first foray into the world of gold coin collecting.
Buy half-sovereigns from The Gold Bullion Company, a reputable and well-known UK-based family business.
Our outstanding customer service team - who have received a 99.6% positive rating in independent reviews from over 9,000 customers - backs every purchase with pre-sales advice and post purchase support. Every purchase features fully insured delivery and our unique buy-back guarantee.

How often do you introduce people by their job title? All the time, right?
While this approach comes naturally, it really doesn't give people that much to go off of—especially if you want them to build a long-lasting relationship. (Or at least longer than happy hour).
As Dustin Senos points out in this short piece on Medium, people are more than their job titles—and we should strive to treat them as such.
In addition to it just being more interesting to introduce people in another way, it's sometimes crucial to get more creative. For example, if a friend's been unemployed for an extended period of time, you obviously don't want to bring up where he or she does not work. Or, if there's public drama happening at another contact's workplace, it may be awkward to throw it into the conversation.
So, how can you introduce someone other than by his or her job title?
Here are a few ideas:
- Find Mutual Connections: If the two people know the same person (besides you, of course), went to the same college, come from the same hometown—use that knowledge!
- Talk About Shared Experiences: Maybe they both went to Europe this year, or perhaps they both just adopted pets. Whatever it may be, you can bring it up.
- Mention Passions: Be more specific about what each person loves about his or her job. For example: "This is John, and he loves helping companies build innovative new products!"
And there you go! Three new ways to introduce people that don't involve quoting their LinkedIn profiles. So, the next time you find yourself in any scenario where networking is involved, challenge yourself to introduce people based on something that'll actually help them connect.

Agate is a Micro-crystaline (not big, gemmy crystals) form of quartz, and characteristically is at least partially semi-translucent. It is hard, takes a very nice polish, is tight-grained and comes in an amazing array of colours. In addition to its natural range of colours, it also takes dyes well and can be had in a stunning array of fashion colours. It often exhibits banding and flow patterns. It is formed in pockets left in lava, which over time, have filled with deposited minerals.
If you spot a trend on these pages that leads you to think that a disproportionate quantity of stones are some form of quartz - you would be absolutely correct. Quartz is the most abundant mineral in the earth's crust.
We try to choose consistent stock, but the nature of natural stones is that there will be inconsistency between strands and between individual beads.

Network pros 'make security happen,' CISO says
The chief information security officer for Prudential Insurance values computer security professionals, but it's network administrators that earn his respect when it comes to securing systems.
ATLANTA -- Kenneth Tyminski is in an unenviable position. As chief information security officer for Prudential Insurance Company of America, he's the first one likely to receive blame when a network security snafu affects his company's bottom line.
But Tyminski told attendees at TechTarget's Networking Decisions conference that he rarely loses sleep over security, because, in reality, the burden for keeping the network safe isn't his alone.
The 30-year Prudential veteran said that a successful enterprise network security strategy must not only be based on a rigid, company-wide policy that keeps sensitive data in and viruses out, but must also allow the security burden to be shared equally among senior executives, junior network managers and everyone in between.
Most companies, Tyminski said, don't even know who is in charge of security, never mind have an established policy. By having a security officer in every major business unit, and then ensuring that those officers hold lower-level admins responsible when security problems occur, he said, his company encourages everyone to keep network defense in mind when performing day-to-day tasks.
Prudential augments that technique with a set of rigid security rules that includes automatically revoking unnecessary access privileges when an employee changes jobs, disabling print capabilities within some applications that use sensitive customer data, and denying developers access to production data.
"Whenever we can, we systematically enforce policy," Tyminski said. "Whether you like it or not, we make you change your password every 30 days, and we don't let you reuse it for a year. If you do, we make your life miserable."
That mindset applies to business partners as well. Tyminski said he recently delayed an IT project that would have saved Prudential $12 million annually because the vendor involved, whom he declined to name, decided not to share its security policy with him. Upon further review, Tyminski learned that was because the company didn't have a security policy.
Mapping the network on a monthly basis is another important element of the company's strategy. With a network the size of Prudential's -- four data centers, 5,000 servers in the United States and more than 60,000 network nodes overall -- unauthorized equipment is constantly finding its way onto the network.
During a recent scan, Tyminski said admins discovered three unauthorized Wi-Fi hot spots and later, during a physical search, two more. It also learned that one of its consultants was not only running more than a dozen unauthorized Linux machines on the network, but was also scanning network ports, all without explanation. Tyminski said that consulting relationship was soon terminated.
Though Prudential's strategy includes using IBM's Lotus Notes e-mail and instant messaging applications, along with SSH Communications Security Inc.'s Secure Shell, IntruShield from Network Associates Inc. and more, Tyminski said that hardware and software don't make the security policy a success.
"People are really what make or break security," Tyminski said. "Security people are especially valuable, but it's network people that really make security happen."
Olaf Gradin, a conference attendee and information services specialist for ConAgra Foods Inc., in Duluth, Ga., said that, as long as people are in charge of security, "There's no perfect system out there."
Gradin said that some of Tyminski's policies might help him get a better handle on remediation, especially for Microsoft's Windows operating system. He said it's a big issue for his company, which had to patch 20,000 systems overnight following word of a recent vulnerability.
Attendee David Amster, a vice president for Equifax Information Services LLC, in Alpharetta, Ga., said that for financial companies like his and Tyminski's, rigid policies are essential.

GURL, if someone took away my bottle of Laura Mercier's Flawless Fluide Foundation, I would go full-on Walking Dead Ricksanity on that @ss, improv shiv and ALL. It is the business. It's been my can't-live-without-it foundation for months.
It's my go-to foundation for pics because it covers everything and mellows out my pores (cue blessed makeup angels harmoniously singing). I also grab it whenever I'm in the mood for a matte finish (can even skip powder).
Lightweight? Yup. Comfortable? Uh-huh. Doesn't break me out? Yes, yes, YES! And it comes in a ton of shades. I wear the one called Chai, as in "Oh, CHAI!" or, "I'll have a venti pumpkin soy chai latte please, hold the foam."
I'm still a MAC Face & Body fan/fiend 4-Life, but I like having another holy grail foundation I can turn to. Sometimes I'll even layer both of them, applying MAC Face & Body all over my face with my fingers, then blending Flawless Fluide on my cheeks, nose and around my chin (where I like to have more coverage) with a Beauty Blender — which totally helps with Flawless Fluide, by the way, which can look super matte. The BB makes it look really natural.
What foundation have you been wearing, and are you happy with it? Tell me all about it!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Wonderful World Outside, the new album from The Piedmont Melody Makers, is now streaming on The Bluegrass Situation! Piedmont Melody Makers also happen to be the first band in our new wing, Hearth Deep Cuts, which centers around on "pure folk" campaigns that focus on folk radio and some key press outlets for folk music.
As they said, "...Wonderful World Outside started as an experiment that had to become a full-length recording. It was all so natural -- the destiny was predetermined. I think our love of harmony singing and songwriting that is nurtured by the honest emotions inherent in old-time country songs provides our template for musical expression."

Subscription Boxes are all the rage now and I think they are fantastic. Monthly gifts from make-up, to food, to household items that show up at your door. I've tried various ones, but the one I have been subscribed to the longest is For the Makers, a DIY crafting box.
But there is a problem. The boxes have been piling up since April (yes April). I can think of
excuses reasons like end of the school year madness, moving to a new apartment in the summer, beginning of the year madness, etc. I would tell myself that I'd do it next month and then the next month and find time to catch up the month after that. I briefly thought of canceling the subscription but I really like the idea of the projects and the quality of the materials.
I am very OCD about doing things in order so this has actually been stressing me out thinking about how I was going to do all these boxes. In an OCD person's mind (or at least mine) I wouldn't be able to work on other projects or explore other areas while I had this pile of unfinished boxes. (Not OCD? Grab one you know and ask. I promise they'll understand my dilemma.) I have been pondering this issue and think I may finally have a solution. Huzzah!
I'm going to store all my unfinished boxes away and start fresh in January. I'm going to treat it like I am a brand new customer and since I am refocusing on crafting, hopefully I can keep up with it. Strangely (and thankfully) my OCD self is totally ok with this situation (probably only because I'm starting in January) and now I'm looking forward to my January box.

How does the monthly delivery work and where do you deliver?
We deliver to you at your home or business or desired location on the first Tuesday of every month. We will confirm with you your order and delivery the week before. We cannot give you an approximate time of delivery, other than delivery will take place sometime between 9 am and 5 pm.
If you do not plan to be at your delivery location when we drop off, you will need to make plans for us to leave the food with you. The easiest is to leave a cooler or styrofoam box or boxes outside so we can easily put the food inside.
Our service area is metro Denver including Boulder, south to Monument.
Minimum order amount for delivery is $100.00
Do you offer a discount if I pick up from you?
You can also pick up from us, either from the farm or from Sue when she holds classes offsite. Please click here for Sue's offsite class locations.
Please see this page for a complete listing of all of our product discounts.
What is in Peak Power Raw Dog Food?
Our formula is balanced in the right proportions to mirror the dog ancestral diet originally developed by Steve Brown, a renowned dog nutrition and dog raw food expert. We further adjust the supplements based on the latest and best research available about raw dog food diets.
We have 2 formulas that we rotate, usually feeding formula 1 for a month, then formula 2 for a month.
Formula 2 has whole chickens, a great source of natural calcium with the bone included, so we like to use it more often than not, but take a break every 2-3 months so our dogs do not develop an allergy to it.
Beef Formula
- Grass fed beef (whole cow, ground)
- Grass fed beef liver
- Sardines, cooked from cans
- Organic, free range eggs (mostly from our own chickens)
- Organic broccoli
- Organic zucchini (some from our own farm)
- Organic carrots (some from our own farm)
- Organic apples (some from our own farm)
- Organic eggshell powder (from our own chickens)
Chicken Formula
- Organic, free-range chicken (whole chicken, with bones, ground, and equal to 25% of muscle meat in this formula)
- Sardines, cooked from cans
- Grass fed beef liver
- Organic cauliflower
- Organic cucumber
- Organic yellow squash
- Organic bananas and organic raspberries and blueberries
- Organic, free range eggs (mostly from our own chickens)
- Organic eggshell powder (from our own chickens)
You can decide if you want to rotate formulas or stick with just one. Our formulas are packaged in 2-quart freezer containers, containing 3-pounds of food and delivered frozen.
Superfood Supplement
Our supplement formula adds in many other beneficial ingredients to provide a more complete and balanced nutritional meal. It includes:
- Organic vitamin E oil
- Organic coconut oil
- Organic powdered kelp
- Organic powdered alfalfa
- Organic ground flax seeds
- Organic non-pasteurized goat's milk yogurt (sometimes we are not able to obtain non-pasteurized from our farms and purchase organic pasteurized)
The supplement formula comes in a 16-ounce glass jar delivered frozen.
As a general guide, feed 2 tablespoons of the core supplement formula for every 1 pound of raw dog food.
Eggshell Powder Supplement
Eggshell powder is an important calcium supplement to balance out the calcium required in a dog's diet. We typically provide you with eggshell powder ground from our own chicken eggs to supplement in your dog's diet. Supplement guidelines are:
- For the Beef formula, add 1.5 teaspoons of eggshell powder to each 2-quart container (3 pounds) or Peak Power Raw Dog Food.
- For the Chicken formula, add .25 teaspoons of eggshell powder to each 2-quart container (3 pounds) or Peak Power Raw Dog Food.
We periodically run out of eggshell powder, in which case we will substitute in bone meal that we purchase. Supplement guidelines are:
- For the Beef formula, add 2 teaspoons of bone meal powder to each 2-quart container (3 pounds) or Peak Power Raw Dog Food.
- For the Chicken formula, add 1.5 teaspoons of bone meal powder to each 2-quart container (3 pounds) or Peak Power Raw Dog Food.
How is Peak Power Raw Dog Food made?
We not only purchase direct from ranches that raise the animals, but also we scrutinize how they are raised, because that is an enormous factor in whether the end product is healthy or not.
Feedlot beef, which comprises more than 94% of U.S. produced meat, is unhealthy, which research has proven.
Further, it is inhumane to the animals, and actually increases carbon released in the atmosphere, whereas grass fed, pasture raised animals improve our grasslands ability to pull more carbon out of the atmosphere (and the animals are much happier roaming around).
We source directly from 100% grass fed only ranches that we personally inspect. They follow standards set by the American Grassfed Association for range land management and standards set by the Global Animal Partnership for outstanding animal welfare. As only 6% of U.S. beef is 100% grass fed, not all of it abides by standards set by these organizations, so it is even harder to purchase this kind of beef.
We purchase our meat from our ranches and use small processors to give us the final product. We store some of the frozen meat at the processor and as needed, transfer it to our freezers on our farm, before using it to make the raw dog food.
Besides meat, some raw dog food is comprised of vegetables and fruits. Some of it is grown on our farm and the rest is purchased locally from stores or other organic growers.
Our eggs are produced by our own chickens.
All of our supplements are organic, and most are whole foods. We produce some of it ourselves, like the yogurt from raw goats' milk producers that we source (not pasteurized).
We do not have growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, sugar, salt, grains, preservatives, stabilizers, antioxidants, artificial colors, artificial flavors, fillers, chemicals, and no GMO (genetically modified organism).
We produce on our farm in our USDA licensed kitchen. We do not outsource to some big manufacturer. We are a small operation and we plan to keep it that way. We typically only produce in lots up to 150 pounds, so we are truly small batch!
We post the production log online so you can see for yourself the specifics on your particular batch. We believe in being transparent about our sourcing and production so you are fully informed on what your are purchasing from us. Please click here to see our product production logs.
How do I switch my dog to raw?
Before you switch, we highly recommend you have a veterinarian that has some understanding and acceptance for raw dog food diets. That way, your vet can help you fine tune the food for your dog. You also want to discuss with your vet any specific needs for your particular dog and his/her breed. We probably can customize our formula to your specific needs. Please discuss with your vet first and then discuss with us.
For example, we feed our dogs the above core formulas, but our Romeo has a drier coat, so we add some more fats via coconut oil and vitamin E and fish oil, while our Zuzu needs more liver support that we supply through a supplement we purchase. Your vet might notice small adjustments like these in an annual checkup that should be made for optimal health.
When you are ready, you make the switch slowly over a few weeks, at least. Make sure that you do not feed your dog dry kibble with raw in the same meal because both require different digestive processes and can cause gastrointestinal issues, like gas, or vomiting.
If you feed your dog two times per day, then switch to 3 or 4 for a while and then you can more effectively split up the meals as you transition over. Or, start slower than that. Try a little bit of raw dog food as a treat to start in between meals. Dry dog food requires less stomach acid than raw, so it will take time for your dog to adjust. Be patient and do it slowly.
Is there a difference between adult and puppy formulas?
In our experience and research, we have not seen a difference. But again, you will want to discuss with your vet based on your particular dog and his/her breed.
What quantities of raw do I feed?
Here is a rough guide for daily feeding, based on your dog's weight, but you will have to fine tune based on your own dog. Please note that this includes not just food, but treats, stuffed kongs, bully sticks or any other food or chews you feed your dog:
- 1.5%: weight loss
- 2%: non-active
- 2.5%: maintain weight
- 3%: slight weight gain
- 3.5%: significant weight gain
- 5%: dogs 8 weeks to 1 year
- 4.5% to 8%: puppies under 8 weeks
Do I have to feed all raw dog food, or can I feed raw and dry?
You can do whatever you want, as long as you make sure that you do not feed your dog dry kibble with raw in the same meal because both require different digestive processes and can cause gastrointestinal issues, like gas, or vomiting.
What if my veterinary doctor is recommending against raw?
Some dogs with compromised health may not be able to tolerate raw. Or if your veterinary doctor for any other reason is recommending against raw, you can simply cook our raw dog food and serve it to your dog.
Is there anything specific I should do in terms of veterinary care while feeding raw?
That is up to you and your veterinary doctor to decide. However, we make sure our doctor does a CBC and Metabolic panel annually for our dogs. We also run a test for taurine levels. Based on these results, we work with our doctor to correct any deficiencies.
We would do this even if we did not feed raw and instead, used a commercial diet that is labeled "complete and balanced" on the label.
Like humans, each dog is different and requires more or less of certain nutrients based on their breed, activity level and other factors. Just because you feed them a dog food that is labeled "complete and balanced" on the label, does not mean they will not have nutritional deficiencies.
Does raw dog food have pathogens in it?
It should…and ours does.
We are not talking about the harmful pathogens that can make dogs sick. We are talking about the normal pathogens found in unadulaterated raw meat that comes from pasture raised sources. Healthy dogs are well equipped to handle these pathogens. And that includes salmonella, which is found in raw chicken.
The problem with other commercial raw dog foods is that to sell in retail, they must by law remove all pathogens, which means they have to use manufacturing processes that ends up destroying the beneficial enzymes and nutrients such that, it is almost no better than dry dog food.
We do not do that, which means you have to use the same, normal safe-handling techniques as you would for any meat you purchase that you would cook and consume yourself.
Are there some dogs that should not be fed raw?
Dogs with compromised health from diseases or those that contract a pathogen (like giardia) may be better off not eating raw because their systems may not be able to handle digesting the natural pathogens found in raw meat. In that case, you would cook our raw dog food before you feed it to your dog.
What does this statement on your package mean: For supplemental or intermittent use only?
To comply with government regulations about dog food, companies must include a laundry list of ingredients that most of us can neither pronounce nor understand. The reason is that the majority of dog food is not healthy and needs to be fortified. And just because it is fortified and labeled a complete diet does not mean those nutrients come from quality sources. In fact, studies show that these synthetic vitamins can actually cause more harm than good to our pets, because the body cannot completely utilize them and instead it will process them as a foreign substance, causing more stress to the liver and kidneys.
We do not fortify our foods with any additional supplements because our ingredients are very high quality and healthy dogs should normally be able to assimilate all the necessary vitamins and minerals from the food.
But, as a result of not fortifying, we cannot label our food as a complete dog food diet, and instead, have to label it as supplemental for intermittent use only.
That is our choice that we made for our dogs, which we have been successfully feeding raw since 2013 using our formulas and ingredients. We highly recommend you discuss this with your own vet to determine if our food is appropriate for your dog, or if you are better off with a formula that while lesser ingredient quality, is fortified so that it can be labeled a complete dog food diet.
Is The Light of Dog registered with the USDA?
Yes. Any company that sells dog food products must be registered with the USDA regulatory authority in its state. Also, any company that owns its own production facility for dog food products must be registered with the USDA regulatory authority in its state. Since we produce on our farm in our own commercial kitchen that we built for dog food production, we are registered with the USDA in Colorado.
What does Peak Power Raw Dog Food cost?
Per Meal Price
Take your dog's weight and multiply by the feeding guide above to get the cost per day.
For example, for a 50 pound dog at 2.5%, the cost is $22.50 per day (or $18.75 if you include the discounts that we offer) for a total of 38 pounds per month.
If you include other food items like treats, stuffed kongs and bully sticks, it will be less than that.
Per Pound Price
Core formula(s) price per pound: $18 (or $15 with the discounts we offer)
Required supplements formula: $22 (16 ounces, which is a two-week supply for a 50-pound dog and comes in a 16 ounce jar; feed 2 tablespoons per day).
For a 50 pound dog at 2.5%, the monthly cost is $730 (food + required supplements formula), but as stated above, it may be less than this if you feed your dog treats and other dog food products and take into account other factors like your dog's breed and activity level.
The eggshell powder or bone meal will be included for free with your order.
Cost Reductions Steps You Can Take
If you pick up from us, we offer generous cost reductions. Please see this page for a complete listing of all of our product discounts.
Why is the cost for Peak Power Raw Dog food high compared to other brands?
We do not cut corners or compromise on the quality of the ingredients that we put in our raw dog food. When you purchase our product, you can be confident that we are truthful when we say that because it's the exact same diet we feed our own dogs.
For more about dog food pricing and how to use it to determine the quality of dog food, please see this post.
High quality food ingredients that we use is just more costly to produce versus the feedlot, industrialized food that most Americans are used to purchasing.
Can I try a sample to see if my dog will like it?
We package our raw dog food in 3-pound packages, so you can order as little as one 3-pound package to try. Click here for ordering information.
What is the difference between the Crunchy and the Chewy versions
For our beef version of our Peak Power Dog Treats, the Crunchy version is shelf-stable that does not require refrigeration or freezing.
The Chewy version is the exact same formula, but is not dried as much, giving it a moist texture. However, it requires refrigeration and will only last as long as cooked meat does in your refrigerator. You will want to freeze that which you do not plan to use within the next week.
Our Chicken and Liver versions are crunchy only and shelf-stable. We do not make chewy versions of these products.
What is the best way to use Peak Power Dog Treats?
You can use them any way you want and do not have to worry about feeding them too much. Our treats, except for the Liver version, are balanced according to the dog ancestral diet with organ meats, vegetables and fruit included.
The Liver version is pure liver, so we recommend you do not over do it feeding liver.
We recommend you break the treats up into the smallest pieces that you can. They are very flavorful so a little goes a long way. We designed the treats so that they can be broken up into very small pieces.
What is the best way to use Peak Power Chicken Crunchers?
Chicken Crunchers are dried chicken feet, so they are hard and crunchy. We give them as snacks to chew on.
What is the best way to use Peak Power Snack Stuffers?
The bison and liver are raw. You can cook this mixture if you wish before stuffing into interactive toys. We do not cook our mixture as we want to give our dogs as much raw food as possible for maximum nutrition. We do not worry about raw meat juices coming out of the frozen interactive toys because our dogs love this treat so much that they will lick out all the ingredients and meat juices before they thaw. If you are concerned about raw meat on your floors, either feed outdoors or place a sheet/blanket/etc. on the floor to keep it contained and then wash the floor covering as needed.
What is the best way to use Peak Power Superfood Supplement
Our Superfood supplement formula is designed to go with our Raw Dog Food formulas to provide a more complete nutritional profile for a dog's meals. It can also be added to other meals to enhance the nutritional profile.
As a general guide, feed 2 tablespoons of the core supplement formula for every 1 pound of raw dog food.
We recommend thawing out enough to last you two weeks and freeze the remainder.
What is the best way to use Peak Power Immune Booster
We recommend 1-teaspoon per day for a 50-pound dog. You can adjust this up or down according to your dog's weight.
We recommend thawing out enough to last you two weeks and freeze the remainder.
What is the best way to use Peak Power Bone Broth
We recommend 1/4 to 1/2 cup per day for a 50-pound dog. You can adjust this up or down according to your dog's weight.
We recommend thawing out enough to last you two weeks and freeze the remainder.

A member at the Mildmay
For the first time, as far as I can recall, I am now a member of a club - not a stamp club, or a chess club, but a club of the sort that has premises of its own. The Mildmay Club. A wonderful old pile on Newington Green which I've blogged about before - established towards the close of the nineteenth century as the Mildmay Radical Club (that middle word was dropped, sadly, in the 1930s).
I popped in last night to collect my membership card - and a rule book - and a rather curious Club and Institute Union Card (see above) - a smaller version which seems to fulfil the same purpose - a key card so I can actually get into the club - and a receipt. Phew! And that membership card is 'No. 8'. Quite a kerfuffle getting this far - having to be nominated by two current members during a fairly short window for new applications, and then being interviewed (OK, so there were no awkward moments - apart from a rather poor reception to my suggestion that jazz nights might usefully supplement the Saturday evening line dancing sessions). Anyway, as you see, I seem to have passed.
Though Sunday evening is clearly not the highlight of the week at the Mildmay. At 9 in the evening, I was the only soul there - apart from the barmaid, and a cat asleep on the comfiest chair in the bar. And I could have any draught beer I wanted - as long as it was John Smith's.
And to think, I joined to give a new edge to my social life!
A rare privilege this week, to see inside the Mildmay Club on Newington Green. A big barn of a building which has seen better days, but seems to be slowly, slowly bouncing back from the prospect of oblivion.
The Mildmay and a raft of other local radical clubs were in the second tier. Hardly any are still going. This club has had a chequered history, and only moved into its current home after the heyday of late-Victorian radicalism, but it's still hanging in there. Just. And there was something both sad and wondrous about looking round this time-locked sarcophagus of a club - thinking back to what it once was, and ahead to what it could become.
Hackney's appraisal of the Newington Green (North) conservation area - which focusses on such fine buildings as the nearby Unitarian Chapel established in 1708 - offers a potted history of the club (and I've nicked the photo from there as well):
The renaming of the club was a clear statement that it had abandoned its radical pedigree. But in earlier years, the Radical in the club's title meant just that. A local vicar complained of the club's 'pernicious influence' - radicalism at that time often went hand-in-hand with freethought. And Tommy Jackson, later a leading Communist, recalled with gratitude help from the club when an anti-Boer War street meeting at Highbury Corner came under attack. Barry Burke and Ken Worpole take up the story:
The Tories resolved to smash the meeting up: the Radicals took the precaution of mobilising the gymnasium class of the Mildmay Radical Club (Newington Green) to act as 'stewards'. Quite a pretty battle was in progress when the issue was decided by the local S.D.F., who, when the fight started, were pitched nearby. Abandoning their own meeting, the Socialists, led by their Chairman, a useful middle-weight of local fame, fell upon the Tories and routed them 'with great slaughter'
Walking round the club, it's cavernous - on every floor. A snooker room, dark, slightly spooky, with a dozen or so tables ... a bar that's bigger than most pubs ... a big hall with stage, festooned as if for a 1960s talent night, which could easily take a couple of hundred ... a smaller hall in itself the size of many working men's clubs ... and at the top of the building, three (now empty) one-bed flats. There are city states, UN member nations indeed, smaller than this!
Once the Mildmay Club had a membership to match. Outside the hall, there's a large varnished wooden board listing the club's wartime casualties (at least, we think that's what it is - the top of the board has been obscured by a rather hamfisted renovation). There are close to four-hundred names.
And in the Conservation Area appraisal, there's a couple of grainy old black-and-white photos dating (it says) from about 1905, one of the theatre/hall and the other of the snooker room. Take a look:
It strikes me that, more than a century later, the snooker room may still have the same lino. If not, it's a close lookalike.
And the snooker hall - they should film Sherlock Holmes in here, and ghost movies, Edwardian thrillers ... it's eery, with a Martian-style greenish light intensified by the lime coloured walls.
There are still gas light fittings, adding to the spectral feel and looking sinisterly like secret police torture equipment.
Then the most macabre aspect of the room - the walls are lined with snooker cues in their cases, some locked into position. Dozens and dozens of them. In a snooker hall, where on Thursday night, just two of the tables were in use. Some have names and numbers inscribed in a style resonant of a bygone era. I am fairly sure quite a few must once have been wielded by players now seeking out record breaks in the greater snooker Valhalla in the sky.
And the bar? Well to judge by the meagre attendance last Thursday, if they sell twenty pints on a weekday evening they are doing well. Which makes you wonder whether this sign really is necessary ...
And I mentioned the tentative bounce back in the club's fortunes. Well, it's not going to be sold off for development - details here - and the club committee, whose orders are of course the last word, has had an infusion of new blood. Whether there's new signage to follow, well, I'll let you know.

Christmas is always a fabulous time, joy and magic. How can you make your porch inviting and cozy to make your guests look forward to entering? A porch produces a first impression on the guests, so he should be given maximum attention. Guests should feel Christmas in your home is from the yard!
Better way to welcome your guests is hang a beautiful wreath on the front door porch.
You may also hang some tree ornaments and garlands; lights and lanterns make the porch cozier. Wrap your garland in spruce or pine branches and hang them on the posts and the railing on the porch, so your garland will look more festive and aesthetically pleasing.
You can put artificial plants that will fit well into the interior and complement it by creating a flower arrangement at the entrance to the house.
Attach snowflakes on the windows of the house. So your house will look more magical and fabulous.
You may even place a small Christmas tree and some stockings outside – that would look amazingly sweet and cozy.

Anonymous Claims Responsibility for Microsoft Website Crashes
Hacktivist collective Anonymous has claimed they were behind the intermittent downtime of select Microsoft websites, including Hotmail.com, Microsoft.com, Live.com, Outlook.com and MSN.com, as part of Operation Killingbay.
In an open letter addressed to Microsoft that was posted on Pastebin, the attackers acknowledge that their plan to crash all of Microsoft's Japanese domains with a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack was a failure, but assert that they did in fact cause downtime for the sites listed above.
"A couple days ago a DDoS attack was launched at Japanese Microsoft (Domain) Websites and Servers. We are sorry to report that the Japanese Microsoft Websites and Servers did not go down as planned. Although something did go down. We took the pretty much the entire Microsoft domains down," the message states.
"The DDoS attack was launched in response to Taiji… Although We are sorry for any inconvenience We caused you Microsoft…It's the thought that counts right?"
the downtime was minimal, and limited to only certain regions. Microsoft issued a brief statement, but did not confirm or deny the claims issued by Anonymous.
"Microsoft can confirm that all online services have been restored. We are investigating the root cause of the disruption and will continue to keep customers updated as information becomes available," Microsoft said.

Everyone talks about happiness, but nobody really knows how to measure it. Sure, there are countless happiness tests and quizzes out there on the internet, but most of them are just for fun, providing you with no real insight or way to achieve the life you really want.
So I've created a happiness quiz called "All You Ever Really Wanted".
To find out if your life has MEANING, you'll rate each of the 7 most important areas of life, on a 10-1 scale.
Note: You'll notice that three of the 7 areas of life are kids, marriage and school. If you don't have kids right now, that's ok, rate that area as if you did. If you're not married now, but are in a relationship, rate your relationship as if you were married. If you're not in school right now, so what, you're always learning, right? So rate that area according to how happy you are with your "schooling" even if you're just in the "school of real life."
Directions: Rate each of the 7 definitions below. Then rate each of the 7 issues on a 10-1 scale. When you're finished, add up your score and divide it by the top score of 70 to get your total score. Then see how happy you are on the happiness thermometer to the left of the quiz. Depending on what "Happiness Zone" you fall into, read the corresponding paragraph to get your results from the quiz.
Whether you're in a meaningful or difficult relationship, have your partner complete this quiz and compare your scores. Why is one of you high in one of the 7 areas of life, but low in others? What are the conditions that created your score or theirs? This is a great way to begin communicating about the things that really matter…the big picture of your life.

Happiness Zone Meanings Below:
Happiness Zone-
Congratulations! You are a very happy person! If you are interested in where you can improve, then take your lowest score and fine tune it …OR…help someone ELSE raise THEIR score. Helping others will bring you a sense of happiness and satisfaction that is hard to duplicate in any other area of life. Look around and you can see that people at your happiness level are a rare find. Help others get to where you are if you can.
Content Zone-
You're pretty content in your life overall. In the Content zone, you're still missing part of what life is all about, but you're probably going to stay in this zone for the rest of your life unless you want to reach TRUE happiness, but why? Surely contentment is a worthy goal in America today. What's important to realize about this zone is that YOU have something that most people strive for…simply to be content. But just being content while others have a far less success in life isn't going to meet your happiness potential. Try helping people you are related to, you work with or are in your social circle.
Distressed Zone-
In the Distressed zone, there's a good chance you're having difficulty dealing with people. You probably find them to be very frustrating at times. In this zone, your expectations of life are just not lining up to what you might have hoped for. You have good days and bad days with some being very difficult for you while others days go by smoothly. Consider this stressful zone to be your starting point towards a happier life. Your first step should be to focus on and try to improve the area of your life out of all 7 that is bring you some frustration, obstacles and generally occupies a lot of your energy. The reason to focus on this area is that your motivation to find answer is very high and small improvements will keep you going.
Frustrated Zone-
In the Frustrated zone, you are most likely plagued with fear, dread and intense negative emotions. People in the Frustrated zone attract other people and situations that do nothing but increase your frustration and worry. If your health and finances are not yet affected, there's a good chance they will be soon if you don't get do something to break free from this harmful zone. You are overwhelmed and weighed down with worry and anxiety most every day. If you don't have depression, it won't be far away. People in this zone will usually blame themselves or other people for their unhappiness. Consider this quiz a wake up call. If you want to improve your life, you must do something very soon or you'll get trapped in the vicious cycle of fear and worry….and eventually end up in the desperate zone.
Desperate Zone-
This is the most dangerous zone to be in. People in this zone have lost all of their peace of mind. Crying yourself to sleep at night might be a common occurrence for you. Chances are very good that you're in a lot of trouble financially, and have health problems with no solution in sight. In this Desperate zone, you might wish you were somebody else. You may even have enemies and few friends. This is the zone that clenches its grip more and more over time leading people to desperate measures like suicide. You NEED to do something NOW….before it's too late. You DESERVE a better life no matter what anyone else says. Follow the steps below to get out of this zone and onto a life with far less stress.
For each of the 7 areas of your life you'd like to improve, ask yourself this very important, yet simple question…
"What could I do to improve my score in this area? (Even if it's just a small improvement)
Begin building a list of things you can do to improve your score in this one area of your life, no matter how silly your ideas might seem.
Somewhere down your list, you'll find an idea or two that never would have occurred to you if you had not done this exercise. For example, let's say you have a boss who's giving you trouble at work and making your life difficult.
Remember, this is a creative exercise. Every idea does not need to be a good idea. They CAN be silly ideas. In fact, many of them SHOULD sound silly to you so that you keep you writing and thinking of new ideas. Far down the list of ideas you could act on, you'll find an idea that will work best for you. Don't stop writing until you have at least 30 different ideas.
Your long list might include ideas like:
1. Put in your transfer to a different department.
2. Buy him doughnuts.
3. Buy him flowers and a funny card
4. Meet with him and ask how we can resolve this conflict.
5. Write him a nice note and leave it on his desk every morning.
6. Become the top performer in my area and see how he changes
Be sure to start with the one area of life where you have the most frustration and work ONLY on that ONE AREA until you see an improvement.
Keep in mind that you're trying to think of little ideas that are within YOUR control. Don't make a list of things that you would never do (like quitting your job). It won't do you any good to make a list unless you can ACT on the ideas you come up with.
Keep this exercise in a place where you can find it again. Now you can give your life a "tune up" and gain a perspective you wouldn't have had otherwise. Remember; don't stop doing this exercise until the one item you've been working on is actually raising your happiness score. Once you've seen a difference in your happiness, move on to the next area of your life that's giving you trouble.
Feel free to send this quiz to a friend. They'll thank you for it!

For a 100+ page document, I may not want to print everything at once all the time, so an option to print 20 pages today and print 20 more pages in 3 weeks AND having the printouts FIT TOGETHER as if printed in a single go, is a necessity. This does work perfectly with the existing RFC format. And btw. I'm perfectly fine with the nostalgic 80-columns fixed pitch format. In 1996 I wrote myself a small perl-script feeding into a2ps that puts I-Ds and RFCs 2-up with pages borders and a prominent title line. For reviewing and implementing RFCs and I-Ds ans for reading I-Ds on the plane when travelling to IETFs. I still use it occasionally, and still use some RFC printouts that are 10+ years old. My last printouts were rfc2315 & rfc2630, about 6 month ago. -Martin

Five protesters were arrested after crops were ripped up at an anti-GM trials rally in south Warwickshire on Saturday.
About 150 people had taken part in a rally which started in Stratford town centre before moving on to a crops-trial site at Long Marston.
South Warwickshire GM Action Group and Friends of the Earth had billed the event as a peaceful rally, but dozens of protesters in white suits and masks, broke off from the main group in the field and began to damage the oil seed rape.
It had been planted in the autumn and would have matured next month.
Police, who had been with the protesters all day, arrested five people for criminal damage and filmed others.
But officers were easily outnumbered and had to watch others damage crops, while protesters sang a protest song to the beat of drums.
A police spokesman said: "There was a procession, escorted by the police through parts of the town to coaches parked at the leisure centre.
"The coaches then went on to Long Marston and were joined by other anti-GM eventgoers in minibuses.
"There was a further march on foot through Long Marston village. Participants then approached the GM crops trial site and invaded the field in large numbers.
"Police officers made five arrests for criminal damage and the remaining activists left the field.''
Those arrested were a 22-year-old woman from Coventry, a 24-year-old Leamington man, a 24-year-old woman from Oxford, a 28-year-old woman from Leeds and a 20-year-old Nottingham man.
They were taken to Leamington police station for interview and released on bail.

Subscribe To The Silver Lining: Episode 4 Now Available For Free Updates
I've already subscribed
Fans of the popular point-and-click adventure series King's Quest from Roberta Williams will be pleased to know that the indie-project aimed at reviving the series is still moving forward. Phoenix Online have announced that Episode 4 of the Silver Lining is currently available as a free download. That's right; it means there's no need to scurry off to the nearest torrent site to grab the latest episode...unless you really like scurrying off to torrent sites for some reason.
A teaser for the game's latest adventure is as follows…
Previously in The Silver Lining, King Graham's children fell victim to a dark curse and his wife Valanice struggled with devastating nightmares about her violent past. Now, when the source of an immense evil surfaces from deep within an ancient artifact, Graham finds himself in a race against time to find the final ingredients for the spell to save his children. Meanwhile, secrets about the past continue to surface -- and the mysterious Ranger continues to show up at strange times and in strange places.
The game's latest episode is available either as a single episode download or available as a download pack. You can grab the single episode for only 600MB or you can get the entire four-episode series together for 1.7GB. The entire pack is actually pretty small compared to today's standards of games, so even if you have an older PC or laptop you should be able to run the game fine.
For those of you still scratching your head over this whole King's Quest nonsense, just know that it was a series created by Roberta Williams and her husband that become popularized during the golden age of gaming, as a story-driven adventure tale following a generation of a family. There was magic, mysticism and mayhem that all ensued and it's one of the long-time endearing series of the point-and-click adventure genre.
Phoenix Online Development has appropriately revived the series with moderate success and the team plans to close out the multi-episode story-arc with Episode 5, which will be released for PC and Mac in 2012.
You can download Episode 4 of The Silver Lining right now or learn more by visiting the Official Website.

The DynamoDB connector supports single HashKey or HashKey + RangeKey table setups. It automatically detects the names and AttributeTypes of these keys; the only constraint imposed by DataSift is that the HashKey must be a string because we populate it with our interaction.id target, which is a hexadecimal number.
We place the interaction time into the RangeKey as a Unix timestamp; if no RangeKey is set, the 'ts' column will contain this timestamp.
Avoid the use of DataSift target names as HashKey and RangeKey names, otherwise key data may be lost; recommended key names are "id" for the HashKey and "timestamp" for the RangeKey.
DataSift also checks the write throughput of the table and uses this to moderate the rate at which data is inserted. DynamoDB rounds up the size of each interaction to the nearest kilobyte so DataSift attempts to account for this by delivering data at roughly half to two thirds of the throughput of the table.
Check the subscription logs for any warnings about the maximum throughput being exceeded. If you receive a warning, increase your provisioned throughput capacity in DynamoDB. Since we buffer data for up to one hour, you do not need to pause or otherwise interrupt the delivery process as long as you make this change promptly.
Delivery will resume once enough throughput has been provisioned. For more information on write and read throughput settings, consult Amazon's DynamoDB documentation.
Set the write throughput for the table to a minimum of 100 Kb/s. Be aware that some blog posts or other large interactions might exceed this limit.
Optionally, you can configure alarms in DynamoDB.
Please note the region your table was created under. DynamoDB tables cannot currently be accessed via regions other than that in which they reside.
