Let's face it - work is not always fun and fun. Between stress, delays, and long, occasional hours, your work may begin to feel more dreadful than pleasant, and less meaningful than satisfying. However, since work takes up a large part of our lives - about 1,700 hours a year for Americans - it is important to feel happy and less stressed at work. The negativity that you have at work can begin to affect other aspects of your life, so it is vital to keep your morale high at 9am - 5am.
The feelings of stress, dissatisfaction, and discontent generated by your work can lead to physical and mental problems. As stress manifests itself in different ways, you can start gaining weight, feeling too tired or having trouble sleeping. In addition, your happiness and extra hours of work can strain your relationships and wreak havoc on your social life. College students may be known to have abused prescription medications such as Adderall and Xanax, but men in their late 40s are most likely to abuse drugs and alcohol - mainly as a mechanism for stress management.
To avoid these negative side effects, it is essential to solving the root of these problems - your happiness at work. If you run out of ideas but need weekly support, try these tips to help you get to the office.
Update your workspace
A great way to improve your work environment is to give it a makeover. Whether you have a booth or office area, updating your space with images of things that reflect your personality can work wonders for your emotional state. Adding photos or personal memories can help your happiness at work, keeping you in good spirits when you're overworked.
In addition, keeping a potted plant or flowers at your desk can help reduce your stress and increase your productivity, allowing you to quit your job and all the problems that arise where you should, in the office.
First and foremost, you need to make sure your office is organized because you will be able to work efficiently without the stress and extra distractions that clutter can cause.
To take some fresh air
After hours spent indoors, your desk may start feeling stuffy, especially if you like to be outside. To make your work day a little happier, take a break and get out. Whether you choose to lunch at a nearby park or walk around your office, you'll benefit in more ways than one. Your afternoon stroll can give you a mental break from your work, reduce stress levels throughout the day, and help your body get the vitamin D and fresh air it needs.
Get to know your colleagues
The truth is that having fun at work can be summed up in your human interactions. Even if you probably have too much work to think about talking to a colleague, taking the time to do it can increase your satisfaction with your professional life. Talking with the people you work with - not just complaining about your boss, your workload, or the lack of coffee in the kitchen - will undoubtedly increase the sense of belonging to a community you feel at home. the level of support you feel. in the office. Both will make working days a little smoother, especially when office conditions become harsh.
Treat yourself
Whatever your career goals, if you've achieved them successfully, it's important to make you happy. Put it on your to-do list to congratulate you, whether it's having lunch at your favorite restaurant or feasting on new work clothes you've been watching. You will add excitement and a little joy to your day.
Change your state of mind
It's no secret that traveling to work can sometimes seem as unpleasant as being in detention or at the dentists or a Justin Bieber concert filled with screaming prelude crowds. However, if you are trying to change your attitude before going to work, the situation may not seem so bleak.
When you go to work or just before you get into an arduous task, make a mental list of all the good things about your job, your office, and your day at work, giving yourself a wealth of money and money. things to hope for.
If you are worried about going to work or if you do not remember the last time you were happy, it's time to change things. Although leaving your job is not an option, finding ways to make your work week happier is certainly an option. Whether you choose more mental breaks, know your co-workers a bit better, or keep only one factory in your office, you can improve your quality of life at work.

Thanks so much for the links. I know it will get better over sxe. If you have a literal belief that you need to have a temple marriage to go to the celestial kingdom, you will always keep a secret desire to convert your spouse. I grew away from mine as my husband then-boyfriend slowly grew closer to his Mormon faith. Basically nothing like reality. I gave her a piece of my mind as my home is much happier and healthy now then hote I was married to my x.

You should start raising CES letter issues with her and see how she handles it. She will not sxe you until you convert to mormonism whole cloth. Yes you are all correct I am lonely but happy Hote always worth the wait MMy husband is an amazing human being and an international cardiologist. I am exhausted from giving so much of me and I never got much back. That of course does not mean all eternal marriages should have been entered into or will succeed. It gives people a sense of purpose, while pressuring them to be 'good' by their book.

You'll definitely need antidepressants. I pray almost daily that his schedule will get better once we both started working, but I'm constantly concerned that I'll be doing most things alone too. Am I a homewrecker. My doctor husband also has a daughter from a previous marriage who he travels to see every other weekend.
This does not mean that you cannot do those things, but remember that she will not be able to do them with you. I can honestly say this isn't worth it.
Hote may be beautiful, friendly, and sincere. The decisions we have made in how to raise sxe kids have been our decisions alone. Catholics basically married catholics and protestants basically married protestants. Maybe there is wisdom behind some of the peculiarities. We did things differently this time around, especially now with some maturity and perspective. I'll tell her that we are strictly friends for now on.

It's really no secret that my family lives a crazy, busy lifestyle. With a teenager who plays school ball and travel ball, being on-the-go has just become a part of our lives. And while I try to keep a schedule that allows us to at least be home for dinner time, there are some days when I find it's just not possible. Used to, these days really bothered me. I'd feel frustrated that I couldn't serve my kiddos a meal I felt good about. But as I've come to accept that everyday isn't going to go as I plan, I've also discovered some on-the-go dinner ideas that, as a mom, I can feel good about!
Now, before I share my ideas for making dinner on-the-go tons of fun, let me start by saying that it's important for me to serve my kids meals that boast ingredients I trust and flavors they love. And while I have control over this when I'm at home, we all know that fast food doesn't always live up to picky mom standards. Because of this, I've discovered a few tricks that are helping to make dinners on busy nights just as amazing as the meals I make in my own kitchen.
Serve Quality Meals, Even On-the-Go
For some time now, I've had a little secret in my mom arsenal when it comes to quick dinners that I can feel great about serving. Ever since Zoës Kitchen opened here in Asheville a few years ago, it's been my go-to stop for fresh, Mediterranean inspired home cooked meals that are convenient and fast. With a variety of made-from-scratch, heathful options, it's a casual fast dining location that my whole family gets excited about visiting. And since they recently expanded their Zoës kids menu, even my littlest can get a meal that he enjoys and I feel good about serving him. Now, for those of you who don't know, my little guy is crazy picky! But with the new Zoës kids menu, I don't have to worry that he'll get left out. In fact, he's been expanding the items he enjoys with the palate pleasing options he finds at our go-to restaurant busy weeknight restaurant choice.
With a variety of main entrees that are kid approved while boasting fresh ingredients moms can feel good about, Zoës kids menu offers options for even picky eaters like my little guy! And by allowing each child to pair their favorite entree like grilled chicken fingers, pizza piadina or even shrimp kabobs with fresh delicious sides like hummus, roasted veggies or even fruit, I can guarantee that there is something on this menu that every child will be begging for and that every mom can feel great about.
In fact, as soon as I ask what we should have for dinner on those busy days when there just isn't time to get home in between practices, I'm always thrilled to hear my little guy cheer for Zoës Kitchen!
Put simply, having him excited about where we're getting our food from means I won't be wasting time begging him to eat his meal or worrying that he's not eating as well as he should. Instead, I'm able to enjoy my meal knowing that even when we need food on-the-go that's casual fast, I can still serve up meals that help us eat what we love and love how we feel!
Include the Whole Family
While often the hubs is still at work when I'm doing our crazy, running around, busy weeknight routine, any time I can I invite him to join us for dinner on-the-go. Generally, I only have to say Zoës Kitchen and he's ready to meet us for a quick and convenient meal that we all feel great about eating. And with the wide variety of options for every member of the family, Zoës Kitchen helps me continue to make dinner a time that brings us together, even if we don't have time to make it home!
As an added bonus, in addition to the amazing Zoës kids menu, there are a variety of items on the regular menu that the entire family loves, meaning that from the oldest to the youngest, we're able to have on-the-go meals that make us feel great from the inside out!
Choose a Fun Location
While I'll admit that my family loves eating at Zoës Kitchen, sometimes it's fun to get out and have an impromptu picnic with the food that we love. While that may sound like lots of work, I promise it's not! Even on super busy nights, we're able to easily call head to Zoës Kitchen, order meals for the entire family and head to a nearby park for a dinner that really makes a memory.
Since Zoës Kitchen packages everything up so that it's ready to go and even labels the boxes to save this always busy mama time, it's the perfect choice for busy on-the-go weeknights.
And let's face it, there's not much that earns me more cool points than a delicious dinner at the park that everyone is excited about eating followed by a little play before we head back to the crazy routine of the day!
So, as you can see, for my family it's never been easier to enjoy delicious, home-made dinners on the go! Now that the new Zoës kid's menu has created amazing items that even my picky little eater can't get enough of, I no longer stress when life is so busy that there's not time to eat at home. Instead, I simply get smart and make dinner on-the-go simple with help from Zoës Kitchen!
Ready to let your kiddos try the new Zoës kid's menu? Well, you're in luck! Use the entry form below for your chance to win a $50 Zoës Kitchen Gift Card!
Then tell me, how would you make dinner on-the-go fun with help from Zoës Kitchen?

Dear forumposters,
I am working on an assignment for my dynamical systems class in College. It is a rather extensive assignment, but I will only ask about the beginning of it. The assignment is to use the Gompertz function to model and fit a certain (unspecified beforehand) type of growth. However, I have been unsuccessful in finding a useful paper (or papers) in which I can find a not-too-complicated model, along with the used data. The assignment is more of a go look for a premade model, find a dataset and fit it to it using mathematica assignment, more than anything else. I have been searching for papers in our online student library and using google scholar, but so far I haven't been able to find something that I could work with. If anyone has any suggestions for a model and or data, I would be very thankful.
Note: I did read the homework sticky; if this is too much of a do my homework for me post, please let me know.
So what exactly do you want? Find article about the function? Or find data to fit into the function?
I'm sorry for being vague; I am looking for data and/or a model to fit the data to
Hm, I can't seem to find an edit button, but I have succeeded in finding the suitable model and integrating it into mathematica. However, I am still in search of a usable dataset. My search has been narrowed down a bit though, and I am now looking for a data set that contains tumor growth data over time, optimally containing data of the tumor size at the start and the carrying capacity, i.e. the maximum size that can be reached with the available nutrients. However, a data set without these would be great too; I would just have to do more fitting.

Competition is getting immense in every sector. No matter you are an athlete, accounts professional, a singer, medical students or you are in any other field; you can find so much of competition. There is so much pressure on the students and aspirants. There is so much to accomplish and people are putting their heart and mind in their working.
What matters?
You often look at the present condition of a fellow right? Have you ever considered about the past? Of course, it is taken as a negative feel to think about past but at times, past has so much to teach you. You can learn so much from the past of other people. The point is that schooling is in the past right? But it has really impacted your present too. Whatever you are doing today has a bigger piece from your schooling. You have learned so much of knowledge, skills, manners, and behaviors from your schooling period, right? Now, what do you want for your kids? Do you want your kids to get good manners, excellent guidance, and needed facilities in their schooling period?
Here, what you can do is, you can explore different schools in your area. For example, you can look for Schools in Whitefield Bangalore and then shortlist the ones that appear impressive and credible. Indeed, there are schools that can give your child great professional and personal nourishment. It means there are schools having best teachers, trainers, and mentors. They have proper facilities and options for your kids. Your children can learn a lot in such schools. Hard work is something that takes you a long way but proper guidance and assistance add much ease and credibility. What is the point if your kids are working tirelessly in no direction? There has to be proper guidance.
Be Practical
When talking about your kids, you have to think practically rather than emotionally. Of course, every parent has a soft corner for their kids. But the reality of the world is that you have to read your kids for a world that is really competitive and demanding. You have to instill in your kids the set of skills, knowledge, and etiquettes that can support and guard them throughout their lives. No matter how much you love your child, he has to perform in the world. The world is full of competition and challenges. Only a right school, faculty, and set of facilities can make him outstanding in his life.
If you are not serious about the schools, just have a look at the list of best schools in Whitefield Bangalore and you can witness the competence. There are brilliant schools with their first class facilities. These schools have their designed curriculum areas and academic zones. They imply the best features in their setup so as to bring the most out of a student. They put your child in a situation where he gets needed support and boost for his growth.
So, once you explore different schools in your city, you can find the difference yourself.

SHELBYVILLE, Ky. — A Georgia woman was arrested early Tuesday morning in connection with a shooting at Shelbyville KFC drive-thru in October.
According to a release from the Shelbyville Police Department, 33-year-old Jonelle Jade Dare was arrested by the Sandy Springs Georgia Police Department around 12:30 a.m. on November 26.
Dare is accused of shooting through the drive-thru window of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant on Boone Station Road in Shelbyville on October 28. No one was injured in the shooting.
In their initial investigation, Police said the woman was angry and verbally abused the cashier from the moment she pulled up to the drive-thru window. After she received her meal, police said the woman drove about two to three feet forward then pulled out a handgun, shooting through the window.
The Shelbyville Police Department was able to identify the suspect as Dare after further investigation. An arrest warrant and extradition request was sent to the US Marshalls Office in Atlanta.
When Dare was arrested, a weapon fitting the description of the one used in the shooting at KFC was recovered as well.
From the Fulton County Sheriff's Office: "She is on track to have an extradition hearing tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. in Courtroom 1D downtown at the Fulton County Courthouse in Atlanta. If she waives extradition, then KY authorities will have 15 business days to pick her up from the Fulton County Jail. If Dare fights extradition, then a governor's warrant from Kentucky will be required and that process could take 90 days or more."
Inmate Jonelle Jade Dare waived the right to fight her extradition to Kentucky.
Fulton County Sheriff's deputies have notified authorities in Kentucky that Ms. Dare is available for pick up. Fulton County Sheriff's deputies have 15 business days to do so. Any further details regarding her transport will not be discussed by the FCSO.

The Manu'mitters of Korinus Nov 3, 2011 1:26:06 GMT -5
Post by Ribitta on Nov 3, 2011 1:26:06 GMT -5
The Manu'mitters of Korinus
Every rebellion has heroes – those who commit everything they possess to the digression of their enemy, and the Korin are no different. Hailing themselves as the Manu'mitters of Korinus himself, these men and women have adopted the role of freedom-bringers for the Korin. Gathered from all corners of the globe, they fight to release individuals, villages, towns, cities, and countries from the bonds that tie them to Stamaria. While members of the Manu'mitters are scattered all across the planet in strategic positions, many offering abilities beyond just combat prowess, this group is thought of most famous for its acts in Cher Plek, reclaiming lost Korin territory.
Feared by defenders and revered by captive, the Manu'mitters have spread their name to both enemy and ally alike as a relentless force persecuting captured territory, and they are largely responsible for the lack of a definite advance into Cher Plek. While originally just a band of simple freedom fighters, their actions soon attached them to the Korin military effort. Given the general flexibility of the Korin's army, the Manu'mitters recognize little command besides loyalty to the freedom they desperately fight for. As such, they are on good terms with the Harbinger, his mother, and the other appointed commanders amidst the Korin forces, and their efforts can be largely attributed to direction by these Korin leaders.
While the majority of Korin strike-forces gain their advantage with their agility and information, the Manu'mitters of Korinus stand relatively distinct in their own tactics. While possessing many "traditional" Korin operatives among them, they also diverge from the norm with several different mediums such as a handful of heavy-soldiers, a number of the Architects of Iyelus, and a high concentration of skilled battle-magi.
Unlike the standard distribution of magi in all sorts of military throughout the world, the Manu'mitters have trained each of theirs to be fully capable of contributing as much with magic as with a blade. Because of this, they are dressed identically to the general standard, which causes an effective cloak over their true strength.
Much like of the Paragon are for Stamaria, the Manu'mitters represent the elite of the Korin. Known by their enemies as anarchists and savages, they are propaganda made reality for the Korin cause. From small-recaptures of towns in Cher Plek to large scale operations such as the liberation of Acera, these men and women will throw everything they have against Stamaria to cease the rushing wave of hegemony.

text: Being a mom isn't always awesome. Sometimes it's really hard. Sometimes I'm dangling from a very thin rope and the only thing I can use to keep from slipping off is a bit of quiet. To get this, my oldest needs to be out of sight. You know all the videos and pictures of kids covered in something and the angry comments underneath all judgy and saying things like "who was watching them?" "how could they do that?" "Where are the parents?" "My kids never do that" "I've had my kids surgically sewn to my side so these things never happen and I sleep better, have great sex, clear skin and shower daily". Alright that one is a slight exaggeration, but you've all seen the comments it really is ever so slight an exaggeration. Today I'm on the verge of tears. I'm sick, my kids are sick. My 3 month old's nose made a whistling sound when she breathed while I was trying to sleep while breastfeeding her in my son's room while he was sleeping. It's 11am and it's been a freaking long day. The second I can put my still breastfeeding daughter down, I'm going to cover my house in bleach and change all the sheets and take my vitamins and give vitamins because we can't be sick any longer! This is a reality of motherhood. Some days are shit. Some days you're dancing through through the tulips happy and you're kids are brilliant and polite and beautiful. Other days they are peeing in their toys and covering their whole body in Vaseline and then wiping the excess blobs all over the carpet and walls. Yeah, that was yesterday. I just need a few minutes of quiet to recharge so I can be the mom I need to be. To get that, I have to tell myself that whatever the mess he's making is, I can clean it up later. If it Vaseline in carpet, scoop it up and use rubbing alcohol then soap and water after. If it's broken, it's broken. It's probably replaceable. If it isn't, it's just stuff. My sanity and my child's spirit broken because I am losing my patience are not so easily repaired. I feel a little better already. Oh God, it's quiet. Deep breath…. whatever it is I can clean it up later.

Anything Black Sale Angers other Steamboat Minorities
Written by Howdy Notseethatcoming Wednesday, 10 October 2012
Goose Dropping Trading Company stirred up a severe controversy this week when it unveiled its latest marketing campaign found in the local newspaper on page 4: Black Week. For a limited time only, anything black in the store can be purchased at 20 percent off its retail price.
This seemingly innocuous campaign, which couldn't possibly be seen as anything offensive toward any particular group of people, has been seen as a slight by Steamboat Springs' other minority communities.
"We would like to know why there has never been a Hispanic Week or an Asian Week," said Carlos Bandana, spokesperson for Steamboat's Hispanic Awareness and Fairness Tribunal (SHAFT). "It's blatant minority favoritism by Goose Dropping. And by minority favoritism, we mean racism, plain and simple."
When contacted by The Pirate & Yesterday about the brewing controversy, Goose Dropping owner Pat Entlyoblivious was shocked that the ad campaign could be construed as targeting the selling of black people.
"Wait ... What?" said Entlyoblivious as she looked over their ad currently running in the paper. "Oh, crap."
After a few moments of silent reflection and not-so-silent cursing of her manager for not pointing out the obvious, the owner insisted that by no means could a black person be purchased at the store, with or without a 20 percent discount. Unfortunately, SHAFT was not deterred in its protest of Goose Dropping Trading Company.
"SHAFT members are once again getting the shaft, so to speak, in Steamboat," added Bandana. "We'd happily accept such a distinction and week of spotlight. We're used to accepting 20 percent less money for our services, so I'm surprised Goose Dropping didn't come looking for a big SHAFT entry into its private sales."

"You would," said Daisy. "You work for Bayer."
"Guys, we're supposed to be taking a break," said Samatha. "The idea of having this picnic is to get to know each other in a non-confrontational setting, remember? And we've got Nutella for the sandwiches."
"I like honey," said Daisy.
"Well I tried three places and none of them have any, so you'll have to make do with Nutella." Samantha handed the jar to Daisy.
Daisy didn't take it.
Samantha returned to the basket and pulled out another jar. "Or marmalade."
She paused long enough to be sure Daisy wasn't going to react, and returned to the basket. "Or chutney. Or peanut butter. And we're going to be nice to each other."
"All right, I'll have the chutney," said Daisy. "But it's not because of the weather. The sun is shining like it does every summer, but listen."
The silence dragged on until Frank said, "go ahead. I'm listening."
"Not to me," said Daisy. "To the sky. The silent sky that should be buzzing with bees."
"They'll be back," said Frank. "Another week of sun and they'll be waking up. In fact…listen…there's one now."
"That's a wasp." Samantha dived for the picnic basket. "Quick, cover the Nutella."
Inspired by the controversy over neonicotinoid pesticides.

Date & Time: Thursday, September 05, 23:30 IST
Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham, England
Can Middlesex make their first-ever Semi-final appearance in the Vitality Blast?
Middlesex is coming off a solid win in their last group match while Notts is coming off a defeat. The momentum is definitely in favor of MID and someone has to play a special innings from the NOT team to pull off a win. If MID wins, it will be their first-ever SF appearance in the history of the tournament. NOT will be looking to repeat their 2017 heroics. MID was missing the services of AB De Villiers for a while as he held the innings together for them. But now with E Morgan and AB De Villiers back, they should feel more comfortable. They are a team. NOT has a solid top order, a couple of good finishers and a bowling line-up that has a lot to boast of when it comes to T20s with the likes of H Gurney and D Christian.
MID will be looking to play the same XI as their last game. NOT should also play the same team even though they suffered a loss last week.
It has been a high scoring wicket here at Nottingham. The wicket is expected to play a touch slower as the summer is ending here in the UK.

The English limited-overs captain joined the Middlesex team after 6 league games and has already made a huge impact. He is the third-highest run-getter for the side with 288 runs and the 143 runs he has scored in his last 3 innings suggests his form is also really good.
AB de Villiers
In just 7 innings, he has scored 388 runs for his side, including a 50+ and a 30+ after his comeback last week. His T20 record is second to none and he is a must-have.
Daniel Christian
The NOT skipper has a terrific record when it comes to knockout games and he showed that with the return to form in his last game. He does not have much of significance so far but has chipped in well in all games. He could be the match-winner tonight though.
Alex Hales
The highest run-getter for NOT this season so far. He is someone who can change the game or even win the game all by himself. He has shown only glimpses of his brilliance so far but tonight could be his night.

It's just what armies do23 Oct 2010
The major thing I'm taking away from the latest Wikileaks release is that it's pretty inaccurate to evaluate an army as anything other than a group of individuals. People all over the ideological map make this mistake all the time, whether it's the US army being referred to as a "liberator", the IDF being called "the most moral army in the world", or, from the other direction, ours being painted as ruthless colonizers or the IDF as an entity hell-bent on abusing Palestinian detainees. Both of these descriptions might be accurate in terms of what the army does, but they don't hold water in terms of explaining why. And this is where Wikileaks fills in the blanks.
You can train an army all you want, but it's still made of individual people. You can adopt as complex a strategy as you want, but you're still relying on those individual people to carry it out. At the end of the day, an army is just a collection of people with guns, and all evidence shows that when you give people the kind of power associated with carrying a gun and serving in an army, things go wrong. It's inherent to the concept of an army in general. Clearly, individual soldiers can be held responsible for their actions, but to claim that those actions prove that the army is "immoral" is missing the point. Of course it's immoral! It's an army! Its job is to fight and kill people.
The sooner we stop conceptualizing our own army as the harbingers of democracy, the sooner we can really grapple with the implications of our military involvement. The sooner we stop excusing war crimes by the IDF, the sooner we can really understand the effects of military occupation. We don't have to look at soldiers from either as evil they're just normal people. But when normal people become soldiers, they necessarily help carry out the function of the army. And we shouldn't ever forget what that is.

WOODSTOCK – Justin Lane joined Woodstock Golf Club 12 years ago.
At 5 years old, Lane was considered a junior member. Lane dragged a golf bag along playing with his father, Kevin.
With his father on the bag, Lane defended his Ulster County Amateur (Herdegen) title at the course that he still calls home Sunday. Lane, who graduated from Onteora High on Friday, cruised to an eight-shot win over Scott Kleeschulte, Devlin Walsh and Juan Weissenberg.
"The course has done a lot for me over the years," said Lane of Woodstock Golf Club. "To win here, it means a lot. It's for them really. It's everything that they have done for me."
Lane, 17, birdied the first and fourth holes in the third and final round and extended his lead from three to six strokes after the front nine. Everyone else was playing for second place on the back nine. Lane fired a 2-over-par 72, the day's low round, for a 54-hole score of 8-over 222.
"It was kind of an OK day," Lane said. "Everything was OK. I don't even know how many I won by. I knew I had a good shot (to win) unless I did something stupid so obviously I was trying to make birdie.
"But, I wasn't standing over every shot thinking I hit the best shot of my life or every putt thinking, 'Let me ram this in the back of the hole.' I was just trying to get them close and I was content with pars."
Kleeschulte and Walsh, who played in the final group with Lane, both shot 7-over 77s, and Weissenberg had a 5-over 75, to all finish at 16-over (230).
Lane took a double-bogey on the par-4, seventh hole as Kleeschulte, who just completed his junior year at Kingston, moved to within four shots. He regained two strokes back on the next hole, birding the par-4, eighth while Kleeschulte carded a bogey.
Lane's lead never dipped below five strokes the rest of the way as he became the 10th golfer to win back-to-back Herdegen titles in the tournament's 67 years. Only three golfers – Leon Randall (1966-68, 1974-81), Jon Rubinstein (1983-85) and Doug Kleeschulte (2009-11) – have won the amateur three or more straight times.
Lane, who will leave 5 a.m. Monday morning for his orientation at Binghamton, where he will play for its Division I golf team, plans on returning to the tournament for years to come.
"Absolutely," said Lane on returning to defend his title. "I will be around this time of year for the next four years."

part 2
In St. Louis we returned the rental and after waiting an hour and a half, caught a flight to Salt Lake City with a connection to Billings.
"Which were invented first, cars or planes?" Smith asked as we roared down the runway and lifted off.
"And yet planes get you there so much faster."
The plane was a 737 with a one-aisle two-abreast cabin. Smith sat by the window.
"Where have you gone," I asked, "when you aren't crawling under houses in Effingham?"
"I'm on top of houses, snaking out pipes through the roof vents."
"My guy in Venice Beach won't do that anymore," I said. "He takes the toilet off instead. Costs more."
"I drive over to St. Louis or Terre Haute," Smith said, "or to Indianapolis for Pacers games. I've taken the train to Chicago and New York. I also visit home from time to time."
"You go home to Vernernusia?"
"Well, Vernernusia isn't a place in the same sense as Earth."
"Remember, please, no extraterrestrial details."
"Fine, but it's not—"
"Sorry. So, hypothetically, when I use the words planet and home—"
"No hypotheticals either. Let's take a break, shall we?"
I picked up my phone to read. Smith turned to his window.
"Most of the land down there is in use," he said.
"Farming and sprawl," I said.
"I considered choosing irrigation hydraulics at school," Smith said. "Farmer plumbing."
"Not enough human contact. I want that. I'm a union man. I'm a member of Kiwanis and the Fraternal Order of Eagles, which invented Mother's Day. I go to church on Sunday."
"How about marriage and a family," I said, "since you're staying here so long?"
"I've thought about it. EarthTours doesn't allow alien-human miscegenation or adoption but Vernernusians are parthenogenetic, so I could have children by myself. I considered it but ruled it out because your cloaking for newborns is an embarrassment."
"We're OK with common-law relationships," I said, "in case you change your mind."
The flight to Salt Lake took less than three hours in the air but was long enough for drink and meal service. I enjoyed two cocktails and a plate with a chicken entree. Smith went vegetarian.
"I'm eating this to be sociable," he said, holding up a grape on his fork. "Vernernusians don't metabolize organic material. We ingest minerals and let our bodies do the rest."
"Please don't tell me... Whatever. Where does that grape go when you swallow it?"
"Into a bag. Then I'll—"
"That's OK," I said. "Where do you get your minerals?"
"In the beginning, I'd visit a gem or mineral shop. Now I order online. Currently I'm good for another year."
The plane hit a series of bumps and the seatbelt sign went on.
"On the way to St. Louis, you commented on humans taking risks while driving," I said. "What about the dangers of flight?"
"On a plane," Smith said, "you can't doze off and run into the pier of a concrete overpass. Even if your plane is going down, it's not instantaneous. You have time to get your thoughts in order. That never happens in a car."
"I've never considered the terminal plunge a plus," I said.
During our brief layover in Utah, Smith begged me to take a ride service or taxi into Salt Lake with him for a quick look around. I explained that we didn't have time and that we were on a job. He didn't sulk but he might have brooded. We boarded a regional carrier and recrossed the Rockies, touching down in Billings at eleven-thirty that Monday night. As with the earlier champagne, drinks helped pass the flight time, at least for me.
"Down the hatch," I said with the first.
"To be sociable," Smith said, toasting me.
"I'll pretend you're metabolizing your alcohol and becoming companionably drunk," I said.
"I'm companionable anyway and I can act drunk. I'm in a bowling league."
How many alien races from beyond the stars would choose to spend multiple decades plumbing and bowling? In asking that question I mean no disrespect to Jose, who shows up faithfully at my condo whenever I'm faced with yet another clog.
"With hands, you can roll a bowling ball," Smith said, holding up his. "Hands are unbelievably convenient. My dogs envy my hands."
"I thought you didn't speak dog."
"I sense their envy. They keep an eye on these hands."
"Probably watching for treats. What do you sense up here?" I said as I tapped my head.
"I sense a mind clouded by alcohol."
"It's not draining unmetabolized into a bag," I said.
In Billings we rented a car and checked into a Motel 6, scoring a tour-guide discount based on my EarthTours ID. With the urgency of our mission in mind, I requested their two finest adjoining rooms. I wanted to keep my associate close, but not too close.
"What's the nightlife like in Billings?" Smith called through the connecting door as we dropped our bags. I checked my phone.
"Lot of saloons and casinos, but it's midnight. Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a busy day."
"I won't require sleep for more than a week. Let's go to a casino."
"I require sleep now."
"OK. You go to bed and I'll order an Uber."
I groaned.
"Sorry," Smith said. "Few advanced races need sleep. Sleep is a primitive evolutionary development. Micro hibernation. My cloaking device simulates sleep when need be, but I want to go out. You wouldn't let me see Salt Lake, so you owe me."
"I can keep up with you for one night," I said, to make him happy.
"You work for a travel agency," Smith said. "You should know Vernernusians don't go dormant eight hours a day. Especially on vacation. Even humans don't."
"This isn't a vacation. We're working. And you're my first Vernernusian. I didn't have time for the full briefing."
"The missing Miss Smith won't be sleeping either. Let's go to a casino, or better yet, a card club."
I checked my phone again. There were six poker rooms in Billings. All but one closed at two. The exception, Hitchcock's, remained open all night.
"Can't we go to a casino?" I said, feeling the lingering soporific effects of my in-flight drinks. "There's one two blocks away. The only all-night card club is on the other side of town."
"I like card rooms better than casinos. I'll drive if you want."
Although he'd been driving around Illinois for twenty years, it was against EarthTours regulations to let him take the wheel with me in the vehicle. He wasn't on the rental contract anyway.
"I'll drive," I said. "You brought money?"
He produced a roll and held it up.
I stepped into the bathroom and splashed water on my face. Brushed my teeth. Freshened up, like Jackie Gleason in that 1961 pool-player movie The Hustler.
I looked into Smith's room. He was changing.
"Is that a truss?" I said.
"Old fashioned, but I strained my cloak working on a frozen pipe."
"Let's get you a new one."
"I wouldn't look exactly the same. I have too many friends to risk it."
The motel parking lot was poorly lit and the sky full of stars. The night had surrendered the day's warmth. I pulled on my jacket. Smith appeared indifferent to weather. We climbed in the rental and set out.
"They have casinos in Illinois?" I said.
"Yes in Illinois. No on Vernernusia. There's a casino half an hour away from Effingham, up I70 in Greenup. Another twice that far in Ashmore. Gambling is not appreciated on Vernernusia. Everyday struggles with quantum uncertainty have taken the fun out of it."
Hitchcock's Card Club was a small stucco structure painted flat white, adjoining a defunct motel on Grand Avenue. A casino beckoned, one block down. Panda Express and Pizza Hut were handy, but closed. Fortunately, Buffalo Pizza, a hole-in-the-wall on the corner, was lit up. A potential haven for me while Smith gambled. I didn't plan to sit and watch him play poker into the wee-er hours.
"Did you notice the pot limit?" Smith said.
"Eight hundred," I said.
Inside Hitchcock's, games were in progress at two tables, with a couple of kibitzers watching. The customers were all male, all white and, with a couple of exceptions, all retirement age. There was a chair open at one of the tables. Smith bought in and joined the neighborhood gang.
I watched a bit, sat and stared off into space a bit, drifting to the click of chips and steady murmur of the players at work, and finally stood up and made my way out of the cigar smoke into fresh air. I enjoyed black coffee and a couple of hot and greasy pizza slices at the Buffalo and returned to the rental to fall asleep with the seat reclined, engine idling, and the heat on low.
At dawn, I turned off the engine with a few cups of gas still in the tank, crawled out, and spent a couple of minutes trying to stand up straight. Inside the card room, Smith was shaking hands all round, promising to come back, slapping a few backs and being slapped in return, everyone smiling.
"How'd you do?" I asked on our way to the nearest gas station.
"I did OK," Smith said. "Players like it when they're facing real competition."
"Too bad you couldn't read their minds," I said.
"I could have gotten a sense of how they felt about their cards, but that would be like cheating at solitaire," Smith said. "Besides, the good players usually know what everybody is holding, more or less. It's all about the odds and the tells and patience and the part I like best, Lady Luck. Betting on the come. The guys gave me the name of a club in Miles City that also hosts a good game."
"I'm hoping Lady Luck helps us find Miss Smith and we're on our way home today."
"I love this planet. So many unknowns. Coincidence. Fate. Believe me, life can be boring without them."
"You smell like cigars."
"I like a good cigar, even if I don't have lungs."
Once I filled the tank, we returned to the motel, a waste of EarthTours money as it turned out. We picked up our bags and stopped for pancakes at a cafe on our way to the Interstate. At the table, I called Lou to report in. He didn't pick up so I left a voice mail saying that we were on the hunt in Montana and that I'd call him later.
Miles City was three and a half hours away but before we got far, Smith informed me that we were approaching a historical site that one of his poker mates told him not to miss. I reminded him again that we were on a job, but Smith said that I still owed him for missing Salt Lake.
"I slept in this car all night," I said. "You owe me."
But he kept badgering me and I took exit 23 and drove over to Pompeys Pillar National Monument to shut him up. The park preserves the rocky outcrop above the Yellowstone River where William Clark carved his name and date of passage on the way to Oregon.
We hiked along a riverwalk to the butte with the inscription. There was a lot more sky than I was used to in Los Angeles, powder blue behind scraps of cloud in the early light. We stopped at an overlook. The river below was the color of boiled asparagus, with an unsettled patch in its middle.
"Another thing I like about Earth," Smith said, "it's got history. The planet hasn't been wiped clean."
"Jesus!" I said. Smith had me counting my blessings as a human.
Back on the Interstate, we drove east, windows down, alongside the river. Rolling grassland and cultivated fields alternated around us.
"No more history stops," I said. "No more card clubs. We've got to track down your countrywoman. Can you sense her?"
We crossed the Bighorn River east of Custer. A short range of hills ran along the horizon to the north. Large hawks perched on telephone poles.
"Now can you sense her?" I asked again, as we took the Miles City exit. "Anywhere in the seventy-five square miles around us?"
"Seventy-eight point five four," Smith said.
This time I pulled over and he got out and listened, not with his ears, if he had ears, but with his brain, if he had a brain. Shook his head.
"Nothing," he said. "I'll tell you if that changes. No need to keep asking."
Two water towers rose above the town, side by side, one old, one new. I used my phone to retrieve directions to the convenience store in the Conoco station where Miss Smith had used her credit card. Dead ahead. We crossed the Tongue River and drove up Main Street.
"Did she buy her chips to fit in with others, like you would, or did someone else use her card?" I said when we arrived.
"Let's go in and find out," Smith said.
The station sat across the street from a lake in a park. The clerk was an older woman of Native American extraction. She wore a cooperative smile. A display of Crow artwork sat on the counter in front of her. I held up my phone with Miss Smith's photo on it.
"Hi," I said. "Look familiar?"
"Yes, I've seen her," the clerk said. "Pretty. Young. She was here last Friday with some vegans."
"She bought a bag of Ruffles," I said.
"Yes. I know they were vegans because they complained about the food in here. I told them about a vegetarian restaurant in town. Their shirts all said Butchers' Butchers. I think they were a band."
"You get a lot of business from the Interstate? Folks passing through?" I said.
"No, the Haynes store gets those. Lots of gas stations and five casinos over there by the highway. I get the meat packers from the plant down the street."
"And the woman in the photo?" I said.
"The vegans were arguing about which snacks were safe. Reading the packages. A couple of packers came in and teased them. The girl shouted at the packers and they stopped. She hit one with the bag of Ruffles. I think she scared them, how mad she was. Then she paid for the Ruffles."
We thanked her. I asked for directions to the vegetarian restaurant and bought a beer. Smith bought a beaded choker with a silver-dollar pendant.
To be continued...
