Sasha Clines had a goal of finding a fulfilling career. After working in the medical device field, she found it where her journey began.
Cline, 29, is director of annual endowment giving for Francis Parker School. A graduate of the Linda Vista Road prep school, Clines said it made sense to return to her roots.
"Parker was my foundation and it only seemed right to give back to my roots, which have provided me the skills to be successful in life and business," she said.
Clines also is involved in Jeans 4 Justice, Women Give San Diego and the Jenna Druck Center's Young Women's Leadership Program.
She takes great pride in her roles in these groups.
"Today I would say my biggest accomplishment is when I have youth who I have directly worked with reflect back to me that in some shape or form I have forever changed their lives," she said.
"Knowing that you can have a transformational impact on someone else's life is the most rewarding feeling I have felt yet."
Inspired by her maternal grandmother who died 10 years ago, she said she is "always reminded through stories of her strength."
Advice for young people:
"My advice to young leaders is threefold. First, don't be scared to explore many careers and take risks until you find what you absolutely love. Second, surround yourself with people you want to be like. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of balance."

Original recipe yields 12 egg tarts
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Place the pie crust mix into a bowl, and lightly rub the butter and water into the mix until the mixture holds together well enough to form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead several times to make the dough more elastic. Form into a ball again, and cut the ball in half; cut each half into half again (4 pieces); cut each quarter into thirds to make 12 total pieces. Roll the pieces into balls, and set aside.
- Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until light and foamy, about 3 minutes; strain the filling through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
- Press a dough ball into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a prepared muffin cup; repeat for remaining dough pieces. Spoon each crust about 80 percent full of the egg yolk mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown, the filling is set, and the tarts are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Real portuguese egg tarts have puff pastry shells, so I cut circules out of a sheet of puff pastry and lined my tart molds with that. I used 1/4 cup of sugar and the filling was quite sweet enough. Also used all half and half instead of a combo of heavy cream and milk. The filling is creamy and delicious, but mine were over done at 15mins. 13mins might have been fine. Next time, I might just bake the puff pastry shells first, let cool, then pour in the filling and bake till the filling is done. Otherwise, the tart shells didn't brown very much.
My fiance has been begging me to make these ever since he tried them in Hong Kong so I was so excited when I found this recipe! I used a roll of pillsbury pie crust cut into tart size circles, I got about six crusts out of one roll. I added about a teaspoon of vanilla instead of just three drops. The filling only made enough for six tarts for me, but that's okay, it probably would have made more had I used jumbo sized eggs. I baked them for a full 20 minutes and they were great! My fiance said they were just like the ones from Hong Kong!
you can make them with phyllo dough too! :)

By Jim Henry
Globe Sports Editor
Baseball helped direct Jim Frazier toward Missouri Southern.
"I was head football coach and baseball coach at Hastings (Neb.) College," Frazier said. "We played a game at Dodge City (Community College), and Chuck Shelton (assistant football coach at Dodge City who later became head coach at Drake, Utah State and Pacific) told me there was a job open in Joplin, Mo. I didn't know it was a four-year school. I knew they had a two-year school there.
"I went home and called Lon Farrell at Arkansas. Lon told me it was now a four-year school. He told me Joplin would be a great town and thought it could be a reasonably good job. So I applied."
Frazier was hired for the position, and he signed his contract in the first week of May, 1971, shortly after his 30th birthday.
"Nobody knew anything about me," Frazier said. Dr. (Leon) Billingsly (Missouri Southern president) had some people try to influence him to hire a couple of different people, but I don't think he was going to be influenced."
Frazier inherited a football program that won a total of six games in its first three years as a four-year school. His first Missouri Southern team went 4-6, but in 1972, the Lions posted a 12-0 record — including a 7-0 victory at UNLV during the regular season — and beat Doane College 24-6 and Northwestern (Iowa) 21-14 at Junge Field to capture the NAIA Division II national championship.
"It was a combination of a lot of things," Frazier said. "The key thing was Southern was not respected in football. They didn't take us serious, and by the time they figured out we were for real, it was too late.
"Secondly, we brought in Lydell (Williams) and Kerry (Anders) and Bernie Busken, and a number of offensive linemen joined us. Early on we were not that good, but we played hard. And we got good late.
"We played good defense. Defense was the key to it. They created a lot of turnovers. The staff did a good job. Tony Calwhite was defensive coordinator, Ed Wuch also was on the defensive side, Jim Hoots worked with the defensive line, Charlie Wade worked with the offensive backs and I had the offensive line. That was our staff."
Frazier's teams logged 12 winning seasons in his 15 years as head coach. He retired after the 1985 season with a 97-52-5 record.
In January 1977 Frazier also became Missouri Southern's athletics director.
"No question the combination of the two jobs is tough," Frazier said. "From that point, we went through some shaky times in football. We didn't progress as well as we had been. For about three years there we were stumbling around. Our recruiting really fell off, but we got it back going again in the 1980s."
Frazier remained the men's athletics director until he retired in 2001 after 30 years at the school.
"It was good. I enjoyed it," he said. "I met some great people, some fine young people. We had a lot of fun."

It's been almost a year since Gov. Tom Corbett signed a bill banning bath salts in Pennsylvania.
Authorities blame the substance for some cases of violent and bizarre behavior - and speculate that bath salts may be the drug that led a Florida man to attack a homeless man on Miami's busy MacArthur Causeway, stripping off his clothes and chewing the victim's face off.
Police shot and killed Rudy Eugene, 31, after he growled at them, refusing to stop his vicious assault on Ronald Poppo, 65.
Bath salts have been called the "new LSD" and can inspire powerful feelings of invincibility, according to this report about bath salts and the Miami cannibal case.
Officials and the general public need to look past the headlines about "zombies" and "cannibalism" and consider the fact that Florida is one of the worst states in the country when it comes to funding mental health services, says columnist Subhash Kateel.
If the "Causeway Cannibal" story isn't ghoulish enough, a Maryland student has now admitted to eating his roommate's brain and heart. There's been no word yet on a motive in that fatal attack.
Bath salts - which can affect users the same as cocaine, LSD and methamphetamines - have been banned in Pennsylvania since August. The success of the ban depends on whom you ask. Drug treatment officials say bath salts are still pretty easy to get via the Internet and head shops.
Suspected bath salts cases in Pennsylvania include:
- A man who broke into a house because he was being chased by electricity
- A man who set fire to his girlfriend's apartment and attacked firefighters when they arrived
- A man who assaulted a state trooper and didn't seem affected when a stun gun was used on him.
So tell us what you think. Take our poll and add your comments below.

Time travel in movies is always a tricky proposition -- as any movie about time travel will clearly indicate, confusion often takes root and the viewer may find himself distracted by the unanswerable time loops instead of simply focusing on the flick. Even worse, most movies that deal with time travel take a whole lot of time explaining what's going on, and that's rarely fun. Or you can go the less-is-more route when you're telling a tale of temporal troubles: explain just enough to keep the audience guessing.
That's what Christopher Smith's Triangle does surprisingly well: it drops a handful of characters onto a deserted ocean liner, sets up what seems like a fairly basic slasher premise, and then he just lets a bunch of Twilight Zone-level strangeness take hold.
Suffice to say that those who like movies in which everything is tied up in a dainty little ribbon ... might not like Triangle. Only slightly a horror film, Triangle does show off a quiet new side of director Christopher Smith, whom the genre fans will know as the director of Creep and Severance. The flick has moments both creepy and gory (and one or two that are truly disturbing), but there's a calm confidence to Smith's latest effort.
The story is this: A group of attractive young people have some serious yacht trouble, and are forced to take refuge in a massive ocean liner that just happens to be nearby. You'd probably be able to guess that the ship is (mostly) deserted, but you might be surprised at precisely who is holed up there. Lord knows our poor yachtsman are. Only Jess (Melissa George) has an inkling of what's going on on the empty old boat, but her theories are pretty nuts ... and someone keeps trying to kill her.
Clearly I'm trying to stay a little vague on the inner workings of the plot, but if you're interested in a horror-thriller that starts out like a simple tale of slash and slice before making a few crazy right turns in the direction of temporal distortion... I have no problem offering a recommendation on Triangle. Backed by Ms. George's strong performance and some fine camerawork from Smith and cinematographer Robert Humphreys, Triangle is a crisp and refined little mind-bender that gets pretty contorted, but makes just enough sense to deliver a strong finalé. A little hint to my fellow movie buffs: try watching Triangle and Nacho Vigolando's Timecrimes back to back. If your brain doesn't throb from all the time-travel twistiness, you're probably a physicist.

I've got the flu. Nothing dramatic about that -- judging from my Facebook feed, half of America does, too. But it got me thinking: When you're feeling rotten -- runny nose, watery eyes, constant hacking -- what food makes you feel better?
I've got a couple of favorites of my own, depending on the meal and just how rotten I'm feeling. When I'm at my worst, and this may be hard to believe, I really don't care what I'm eating. Seriously. I'll make a cup of tea with Meyer lemon slices, honey and hot water (and if I'm REALLY rocky, I'll pull my grandpa's trick and add a slug of bourbon).

The Legacy of the Canadian Council on Africa
The tough task of convincing Canada to invest in Africa.
My counterpart in Canada, Lucien Bradet, has resigned abruptly, but wisely it would seem. He had a heart attack last year, but in his dedication to the Canadian Council on Africa (CCAfrique), the organization for Canadian investment and trade with Africa, he stayed on this year.
As he confided in me, the tensions of trying to keep an organization together became more than he wanted to carry any longer, lest he have another heart attack. Lucien has a farm in Quebec and on more than one occasion I suggested that he should take advantage of that and the Canadian pension system. He finally listened to someone, probably not me, but perhaps to a voice inside himself. I received a note last week that he would not be attending any more yearly meetings of the Business Councils on Africa. Canada has lost a voice for Africa and it was a resounding one at that.
Lucien has been the voice of Canadian business in Africa for more than 10 years. There really has been no other voice. He will be difficult to replace, because his job requires a tenacious dedication. He was not simply an advocate for Canadians doing business with and in Africa, but he was a voice for Africa in Canada. There were and are few other Canadians making the case for Africa as Lucien has done this past decade.
Last year CCAfrique celebrated its 10th year. I do take some responsibility for the founding, as I met with their core group on three occasions – twice in Washington and once in Ottawa – before they founded CCAfrique, and I was the keynoter at their first two national meetings in Toronto and Montreal, respectively. (At their tenth anniversary, Lucien invited our chairman of the board.)
Tim McCoy, then on our staff, accompanied me to the Montreal meeting, their second annual meeting, and told me that my speech was good but too long. He was probably right. I thought the Toronto speech, the first one, was much better. However, it was Lucien who built the organization, caring about it as if it were his son or daughter. In a way it was.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
Lucien was and is a strong Francophile and an obvious testament to the continuing deep split and resentment between French and English-speaking Canadians. Even though fluent in English, with a strong French accent, he would insist on speaking in French to English speaking staff in hotels in Ontario, forcing them to acknowledge him as well as listen carefully to him. O Canada. Yet, Lucien was an equal opportunity recruiter and played no favorites, bringing in companies from Quebec and Ontario and other provinces alike.
He was a Canadian and in many ways he was African, for his love for Africa was also beyond question. He was a proud Quebecois, but he was and is also a proud Canadian. He was passionate in his beliefs and reluctant to compromise. He had a vision and acted upon that vision. He spoke as much with his arms and hands, and a fire in his eyes, as he did with an excited voice. He was a sight to behold as he gesticulated why Canada needed to be engaged more with Africa. He lobbied government as tenaciously as he lobbied the private sector, and he sold his vision to businesses across Canada. There were few like him in Canada.
His dedication to Africa was beyond any question. For ten years, as a founder, he lived and breathed CCAfrique and its mission. He often called me for advice on a gamut of matters and sometimes he actually accepted that advice. Like many founders, he took on every aspect of the organization. He built it into more than 100 members, although membership rates in CCAfrique are much lower than the American counterpart. For that reason, he was always struggling to find money to keep the organization going, sometimes wondering how to get through the month.
I urged him to increase membership rates, but he believed many Canadian businesses wouldn't pay higher rates for an organization working on Africa. Maybe he was right. I don't know. I do know there was a period of two or three months on at least one occasion that he did not pay his own salary in order to keep the organization going. His challenge is like many other organizations, including ours at times. It becomes easier to raise money if you are willing to give funders a piece of the vision, but too often funders take over the vision and the organization is never the same. It loses its heart.
There are times to take money from others, and there are times to move on without it. Lucien knew this, and so he struggled and worried, taking his worries home with him, and waking up with those worries during the night and facing them still in the morning.
One hopes that Lucien has many more years ahead of him, and that fate allows him to enjoy the farm, to take the time to watch the crops grow as he reflects on his own life, and especially the last ten years he spent nurturing CCAfrique. He has grown an important organization in Canada, and now let us hope that what he has built will continue, and that the organization, like the national symbol, the maple tree, takes deep root and provides the shade of prosperity and relationship for those businesses and individuals that continue or become a part of the Canadian Council on Afrique. One of the great gifts to man is the ability to plant a sapling, though knowing that you may never enjoy the shade, and fostering the growth for future generations to enjoy.
Stephen Hayes is president and CEO of the Corporate Council on Africa.

King Sunny Ade, sometimes also called the Minister of Enjoyment, was born in Oshogbo, Nigeria in 1946, the son of a Methodist minister. He began his musical career when, after dropping out of grammer school, he drifted to Lagos and joined a highlife band. Inspired by the music of I.K. Dairo, he joined the Rhythm Dandies, led by Moses Olaiya (later known as Baba Sala, Nigeria's preeminent funny man and a prolific film maker). King Sunny was influenced by the legendary Tunde Nightingale (early Juju pioneer extraordinare) and borrowed stylistic elements from Nightingale's 'So wa mbe' style of juju.
In 1966 he formed his own band, the Green Spots. After a long eight years in which they recorded 12 LPs for the Nigeria-Africa Song label, in 1974 he entered into increasingly annoying contract hassles and a public court case. This experience prompted him into forming his own recording company linked to Decca Records. At this time he changed the name of his band to the African Beats.
King Sunny Ade and The African Beats tour with the typically large African line-up of 20-30 members. They play a spacey, jamming sort of Juju, characterized by tight vocal harmonies, intricate guitar work, backed by traditional talking drums, percussion instruments, and even adding the unusual pedal steel guitar and accordian.
Sunny Ade & His African Beats will play the Boulder Theater on April 30th, 2010. Click here for more information or to purchase tickets.
NOTE: This show has been cancelled.
Sean says: "This winter I fought off the nasty weather with a drum machine. I got this old wooden Hammond thing in the fall, and I'd hide out in my draughty bedroom at night, meditating on tonal beats while winter buried my van and ripped leaves from the trees. After a period of falling asleep to its punchy tick tock on the bedside table, song skeletons started to take shape in my dreams. Specifically a melodic "Latin" setting started to infect my day like all the nose blowers at work. Soon I was sick. And I was coughing in time. I called my brother to come over with his bass and we blasted our new song out the window until the snow started to melt. That's how I made the spring happen on my street."
"Sounds like Bones and his cough both got productive. And check the line "I'm gonna catch whatever you've got." Sickness affected and infected his lyrics here as well. "Rhumba Beat"'s watery lead guitar and organ almost obscure the titular beat, before it changes entirely during the second half of the single. Maybe "Rhumba Beat" signals outdoor activity weather, but it briefly hints at a darkened dancefloor as well."

The Everyone Orchestra embarks on a run of Colorado shows at the end of May including a stop in Fort Collins and three performances in Denver from May 20th – May 23rd. This rendition of the project features a stellar line up of nationally renowned talent including Steve Kimock (SKB, Zero), Kyle Hollingsworth (SCI), Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Dave Watts (The Motet), Jamie Janover (Zilla), Garrett Sayers (The Motet), Jamie Masefield (Jazz Mandolin Project) and YOU.
How do you fit into the Everyone Orchestra? The fully improvised performance is the brainchild of founder Matt Butler, who incorporates the skill set of the assembled all-star line up with the voices and sounds of the audience for a unique and fun musical experience.
Literally an orchestra where everyone in the room takes part, the Everyone Orchestra brings together a form of musical improvisation that is rarely accomplished to this degree. While the band actually only consists of one key player – conductor Matt Butler – each show features a rotating cast of up to a dozen players on any given night. Drawing on the wealth of talent local to the area he visits, or those performing at a festival, the concept lures local and national players who are often performing for the first time together and the audience of course, is performing right along.
The four-night traveling event will kick off at Hodi's Half Note in Fort Collins on May 20th and will continue to Quixotes True Blue (formerly Owsleys) on Saturday May 21 and Sunday May 22nd. The Sunday, May 23rd performance is billed as a happy hour show featuring an acoustic set (minus Hollingsworth), and with other special guests yet to be announced.
The locally based organization, Conscious Alliance, will also be hosting a food drive, benefiting the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. All patrons that donate 10 non-perishable food items will receive a free limited- edition Everyone Orchestra 2010 Colorado Tour poster created by the very special artist, Ryan Karrigant. Donations can be made with Conscious Alliance representatives at the front entrance of each venue.
Advance tickets for the Denver performance are on sale now at www.quixotes.com and for more information about the event and line up check out Everyone Orchestra.
Thursday, May 20 - Hodi's Half Note, Ft. Collins, CO with opening act Acorn Project
Friday, May 21 - Quixotes True Blue, Denver with opening act Acorn Project
Saturday, May 22 - Quixtoes True Blue, Denver Euforquestra

The driving force behind Lambchop has one of the most recognizable, warm and serene voices and at the same time. He writes ironic lyrics in which the melancholy is never far away and Wagner reveals himself as a wonderful narrator.

The Grateful Web has been thrilled to host their auctions for the past four years.
The Station Family Fund is an all-volunteer, 501 c 3 recognized, tax exempt, nonprofit organization, founded to offer assistance and relief to people directly affected by the fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island. 100 people perished, close to 200 severely injured, and more than 60 children lost one or both parents in the horrific fire on Feb 20, 2003.
Todd King, a survivor himself of the fire, is the VP of the Station Family Fund. "It's vital we don't forget the families left behind. The Station Family Fund was formed to help those families, as well as the survivors", said King. "David (Shulman) and John (Langenstein) have been instrumental in helping fund our organization."
The auction, which began December 13, is the fourth in a series of Langenstein/Shulman on-line auctions, with the first three raising over $40,000. Unlike the first three auctions, which included a variety of items from many different bands, this auction will only feature Phish related items. Phish, after 21 years together, recently called it quits, as their last note of music was played August 15 at their own festival in northern Vermont.
The eighteen auction items are sure to be of interest to any Phish fan. Included are the actual guitar strings used by Phish in 2004, one of their wardrobe cases used all the way up to their last show in August, as well as a full Conventry festival ticket signed by the entire band.
"When Shulman and I ran our first auction for the SFF, I never dreamed there would be more. I thought it was a one-time shot. My desire to help those affected by the fire has only strengthened and I am more determined now than ever to help out the survivors and the families of the victims", said Langenstein.
The Station Family Fund will distribute every dollar raised by the auction in an effort to address the needs of the survivors and the families of victims.
"We have put together an amazing array of Phish items for this auction. Any Phish fan will definitely want to take a look. Most importantly, we are raising funds for a very important charity", says Shulman.

Brookstone, the mall electronic gadget and gift chain, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and plans to sell the stores to the owner of Spencer's retail chain for about $147 million.
Brookstone said the Merrimack, NH-based chain has been losing millions and has laid off staff and closed stores. The company estimated that it may owe as many as 5,000 creditors as much as $500 million, reported the New York Times.
Spencer Spirit owns the gift and gag store Spencer's and Spirit Halloween stores.
"The retail industry continues to evolve and staying ahead of the curve is critical," James M. Speltz, Brookstone's president and chief executive, said in a statement on Thursday. "A partnership with Spencer Spirit provides us the canvas upon which to sketch our next chapter."

I bought the craftsman rolling wedge bar because many of my coworkers have them. They have 101 uses and have never let me down yet. I will probably buy one more in the future because a set is good to have.

The moment ushered in six songs from the new LP: "Sherry Darling," "I Wanna Marry You" (with a funny spoken intro turning into a beautiful vocal round by Bruce, Clarence and "Miami" Steve Van Zandt), "The Ties That Bind," "Wreck on the Highway," "Point Blank" and "Crush on You." Springsteen flung his guitar to Clarence early in the latter song, the better to launch into some sidestepping so rapid it was more an athletic feat than a dance. His tight black shirt was soaking wet as he called for "Midnight Hour," then stormed through "Ramrod" and "You Can Look (but You Better Not Touch)." "All those songs – with the exception of 'Midnight Hour' – are new songs," he announced proudly. The lights lowered for a brooding version of "Stolen Car," Garry Tallent's bass rumbling like distant, ominous thunder, and then came the spate of crowd pleasers: "Backstreets," "Rosalita," "Born to Run" and the Mitch Ryder medley. The crowd, seated and attentive for much of the show, then pressed against the stage. "I knew you were out there," said Bruce. "You're great. Thanks a lot!"
"It was a real warm crowd," Springsteen said backstage as the medicinal rub heated up under a thermal-underwear shirt. "A lot of them have seen us before. I don't think they come to the show at this point with an attitude of 'You have to win me over.' Course, a lot of people bring friends who have never seen us. They must, 'cause a lot of these places we didn't sell out before. So they must be bringing some body from some place."
His album had been in the stores for only a day, but "Hungry Heart" had already declared itself a single because of radio airplay, and ticket sales were still going through the roof. Where were all those new faces coming from?
"The last tour,"he explained, "we played 122 shows, and the band played real hard every single night, you know. Every single night in every town, the band played very hard. And people, I think they just remembered. They remembered, and this time everybody told their friends, 'You just gotta come down to the show.'"
"Where do you reach for the energy to do it?" I asked him. "You're playing nearly four hours, sometimes three nights in a row. Occasionally, you have to be tired."
"The audience brings a lot, even when you think you have nothing left within you. You know, tonight is tonight, and what you do tonight, you don't make up for tomorrow, and you don't ride on what you did last night. I always keep in my mind that you only have one chance. Some guy bought his ticket, and there's a promise made between the musician and the audience. When they support each other, that's a special thing. It goes real deep, and most people take it too lightly. If you break the pact or take it too lightly, nothing else makes sense. It's at the heart of everything; I'm not sure how.
"I've got a lot of energy just naturally. But when I get onstage and I'm running on empty. I just think of the promise to the guy or girl who's down there, a promise that's made from hundreds or thousands of miles away. It's no different than if you stood with this person and shook his hand."

Moving on in a healthy way — healing from the pain of divorce — requires that you feel the pain. Otherwise, you are just covering a wound that is likely to fester under the surface, demanding attention at some later time. So, it is important to allow yourself to feel the hurt, anger, sadness, or whatever other emotional distress that your divorce inflicts upon you. Then you can actively take steps forward toward a happier future.
People often need to rediscover themselves as an individual apart from their spouse. Being alone in a home can take some getting used to. Going alone to parties can be painful. And, it can take time to rediscover old interests (like going to the theater) or find that old self that was worn away from the unyielding flow of unhappy years.
At some point, you will likely want to date again. Hopefully, at this point, you will have a life filled with many things and people that you enjoy. If this is the case, while you may very much want an intimate relationship, you won't be desperate for a new partner to fill a deep, empty hole inside where there is nothing else that makes you happy — and which can be too much pressure for anyone. Also, if you know what you are looking for in a person (i.e. respectful partner, someone to go hiking with) and relationship (i.e. just fun, long term commitment), then you are more likely to find it; and feel fulfilled by it.
Knowing what you want is also very important when you have children. Not only will you have to navigate your own way through this new territory of divorce and dating, but your children will need help too. Consider your child's age and personality as you decide how to proceed. Consider how much you want him or her exposed to your dating life. You will probably want to shelter them a bit from your exploration, as each new date might unrealistically be seen as a possible threat (i.e. taking your attention, dashing hopes of reconciliation with your ex-spouse) or savior (i.e. joining the family to once again make it complete).
Whether or not you have children, though, the idea of dating can be foreboding. Where can you meet people? How can you go about this? While it's not easy, it's not impossible, either. Your attitude is critical. Being happy, hopeful, and open to meeting someone can help you. While I am not suggesting that you pretend to be something you are not, I am suggesting that your effort to be happy with your life is not just a reward in itself, but it might also attract someone worth dating. Because dating can be a bumpy road, a positive attitude can also help you to bounce along without feeling too bruised.
In addition to your attitude, here are some concrete suggestions for finding a partner:
1) Let people know that you are interested in dating; you might be surprised who can set you up with someone and who that someone might be (hopefully the partner of your dreams, though you must also be prepared for the date of your nightmares).
2) Join activities or clubs that interest you; then you will be happy with what you are doing whether or not you meet a special someone.
3) Find out about singles activities and try some out.
4) Try online dating services. There are many of them; just a few popular ones are as Match.com, eHarmony.com, perfectmatch.com, and Lavalife.com
All of this said, it can be extremely helpful to talk with others who have been through, or are going through, what you are.
What was your own experience like dating after divorce? Share it here!
Going into this, we had very open dialogue about everything from our divorces and what led up to theem, our children, our similarities and dissimilarities and I really thought (and still do to a degree) I found THE one I 've been looking for. We started seeing each other regularly 2-3 times per week sometimes less when he had his kids every other weekend. We both agreed from the start to not introduce each other's children into our lives until we affirmed our relationship. All the elements and chemistry were there, we had sex on probably the 3rd or 4th date, but no means was our relationship sexually based we enjoyed that the most in that we formed a very good friendship first. The sex was phenomenal though, to say the least! (continued next post)
Meanwhile, life went on, court custody battle was still raging and it was getting closer and closer for the court to decide whether or not his ex could take his kids. I did some snooping on the court website and found out that right about the time he got sick, he was to have had a final hearing. His illness allowed him the opportunity to push the hearing back to June (this was now April). Over the next few months, we seemed even more emotionally connected. I had told him once already that I did truly love him and he said although he is not there yet, he wants to be with me. Things were great, I wanted him to start reconnecting with his friends, made suggestions to do more activities like biking, working out with me instead of just going to work, coming home and drinking beers as we was accostomed to. Couldn't get him to try the things that I enjoyed but he said he'd try nonetheless. I started introducing him to my friends, double dates, etc just to get him involved with more people, new people - didn't take. I started to notice when he was around me, he was comfortable and began to open up to me about things he'd never talk to anyone else about. But, with new people or around any people - he'd close up and act like he just wanted to go home. (Continued next post)
I wouldn't push him about your relationship, but try to convince him to see his doctor. Untreated, his depression has the potential to ruin not only his relationship with you, but all the other parts of his life.
If he won't get help, there's probably not much you can do, unfortunately.
Because it sounds like his depression has been triggered by events in his life, it could be that he doesn't even need counseling -- an anti-depressant could be enough to get him through this and feeling better again.
I hope you can get through to him, but I think you need to really tread lightly with him right now.
Anyway, I think your parents should give your space and move on with needs and wants. It seems there are great parents and you are a good child.
Good luck!
Thanks for all the tips again Dr. BP!

Photos and Words by Courtney Sudbrink (except photo of Joe Ely's blue guitar - credit Matt Wright)
In Los Angeles, no venue is better fitted for the songs and stories of Texas Country Rock legend, Lubbock native, former Clash touring partner and Flatlander, Joe Ely (along with Joe Ely duo multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Plankenhorn) or the 1960s folk vibe of Chicago native singer/songwriter, Joe Pug, than The Mint - an intimate, dark lit club on Pico in the Miracle Mile district that brought in an attentive, chatter free crowd who clearly had the appropriate amount of respect for each verse the performers sang and shouted out only to request their favorite songs, to which Ely replied mid set, "Oh now, I appreciate it guys but you're making me work… and I'm not here to work, I'm here to have fun."
Opening the show, Pug proved that…Continue

Brian Wilson Turns 70: & The Beach Boys Reunion We Never Thought We'd See
By Courtney Sudbrink, Editor, Turnstyled Junkpiled
Brian Wilson turns 70 today. If someone would have told me, ten years ago, that on this day, he would be on tour with Mike Love, I wouldn't have believed it. And I probably would have thrown up at the thought of it.
It was just over ten years ago, that I first saw Brian Wilson perform. I was a sophomore in high school, a full-fledged Brian Wilson fanatic and just lucky enough to catch him on the Pet Sounds Symphonic Tour, shortly after he'd gone back on the road after years of isolation.…Continue

How To Write A Hit Country Song
Tractors, Trucks, Fishing, Beer and Jesus
by Courtney Sudbrink, Editor
Many of today's young,up-and-coming Country songwriters may be scratching their heads, wondering why Nashville isn't biting. Bobby Bare once sang of the "Sure Hit Songwriter's Pen," but unless that pen bleeds Redneck stereotypes directed at the Wal-Mart crowd, consider it defective. Besides, now-a-days, Bobby Bare wouldn't stand a chance in Nashville. And he wouldn't even be considered Country.
There is a proper way to go about writing a hit Country song, a formula I call, "Tractors, Trucks, Fishing, Beer and Jesus." To garner the attention of Nashville labels, simply use these hillbilly buzzwords as bait in the song title (the more, the merrier) then, reel…Continue

Fees on checking accounts hit an all-time high in 2012, reports the financial website Bankrate.com, with much of the increase coming in charges for use of out-of-network ATMs.
According to the site, the average fee assessed by the owner of a foreign ATM climbed 4 percent this year to $2.50.
Combined with the typical charge by a consumer's own bank for an out-of-network withdrawal—$1.57, up 11 percent—the average cost per transaction now stands at a whopping $4.07.
And for the first time ever, all financial institutions surveyed by Bankrate.com reported charging non-customers for ATM transactions.
Other checking account expenses—such as maintenance fees and non-sufficient funds fees—also have risen, due in part to banks' response to new regulations capping overdraft fees.
The Washington metropolitan area may not have made the list of the five worst cities for out-of-network charges, but there's certainly no shortage of foreign ATM fees in the region.
Do you typically swallow the fee, or are you careful to withdraw money only from your own bank? What do you do if you're caught in a pinch? And should lawmakers look to cap ATM fees as well, or are they simply a part of the business?

IPadMadeClear.com© Privacy Policy | Terms of Use
Discover What's New in iOS 7, iPad Air, and iPad mini with Retina Display
Apple's iPad gets its features from a combination of hardware and its software operating system (called iOS; the term is short for iPhone Operating System, in case you want to impress your friends). The current operating system is iOS 7. Fifth-generation iPad offers these changes:
* Design: iPad Air is lighter (1 lb.) and thinner (7.5 millimeters thick) with thinner bezels for more screen area. Both iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display offer awesomely crisp displays with 3.1 million pixels @@md which, trust me, is a lot.
* An improved chip: The 64 bit A7X processor which doubles processor and graphics speeds than the A6X chip on the fourth-generation iPad.
* Dual antennas: Two antennae and the use of MIMO (multiple-input, multiple output) technology allows for much faster wireless connections.
* M-7 Motion Coprocessor: This coprocessor processes game features like the gyroscope and accelerometer faster.
* Video Recording: Video recording quality has moved from 720p HD to 1080p HD for an improvement in quality, and 3x video zoom has been added.
The iOS 7 update to the operating system adds a few new features, including
* A whole new look: Apple entirely redesigned the iPad interface with iOS 7, providing flatter, more graphically bright buttons for your apps, and a simple, clean look to areas such as the Lock screen and Settings. Love it or hate it, it's an overdue facelift for the iPad.
* Control Center: This handy group of buttons and sliders gives you access to the most commonly used settings, such as volume, playback tools for music, on/off settings for AirDrop (see next item for more about this feature), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, as well buttons for Flashlight, Clock, Calculator, and your Camera. Control Center appears when you flick up from the bottom of the iPad screen.
* AirDrop: Use this new feature to share pictures, videos, music, and more with somebody in your general vicinity who has an AirDrop-enabled device (iPad fourth generation and later and iPad mini).
* Notification Center: Swipe down on your iPad screen, and you reveal Notification Center. New Notification Center features in iOS 7 are the Today, All, and Missed views, which help you see useful information such as events on your Calendar, Reminders, and stock values from three perspectives.
* Multitasking: In iOS 7, Apple has made some changes in the way you work with more than one app at a time. You can press the Home button twice to get a view of all open apps to make it easier to switch among them. Also, your iPad now pays attention to the time you typically use certain apps, such as a social app or stock tracker, and updates their content at that time to make the latest content available to you faster.
* Camera improvements: Now the Camera app makes various shooting formats (still, video, panorama, and the new square format) easily accessible. In addition, Apple has provided filters so that you can add effects such as higher contrast or black-and-white to your photos with newer iPads.
* Photo categories: To help you organize your photos, iOS 7 has added Collections, Moments, and Years categories to group your images by the time and location where they were taken. In addition, you can now use iCloud to share photos with others; photos or videos are streamed to everybody's devices. Others can also post items to your stream and even make comments.
* A new look for Safari: Apple's browser, Safari, helps you get around the Internet. Now it also provides a unified search field so that you can enter a website address or search term and Safari can provide the best match for your entry. The Shared Links feature lets you view information about your Twitter timeline, and Reading List helps you save and read articles to keep you informed. Finally, iCloud Keychain is a way to have iCloud store all your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers safely. Keychain also helps out by entering information for you when you need it.
* iTunes Radio: iTunes Radio offers you streaming music from popular radio stations, but beyond that, it learns about you as you listen. This feature allows you to build new stations, putting you in charge of how many familiar tunes are mixed with new songs to help you expand your musical vocabulary. You can also view a history of what you've heard and build a musical wish list.
* Siri grows up: Siri has jumped on the new-look bandwagon with a simpler, cleaner look in iOS 7. You can choose between a male or female Siri voice, and enjoy the fact that Siri checks even more sources for its info, including Bing, Wikipedia, and even Twitter postings related to your verbal query.
If you don't happen to have mastered seven languages like James Bond, iTranslate might just be a great app to have on your iPad. It has an easy-to-use interface; just type a word in the top pane set to a language such as English, and then tap the setting for the second language and scroll to find the one you need, such as Italian.
If using the shorthand language of texting is limiting for you, add some visuals to your messages with TextPixs+. There are many categories of images here, from Animals to Scenery and Vehicles.
Download the free Urbanspoon for iPad to find nearby restaurants in various categories, read customer reviews, and more.

Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Royalton man denied charges that he pointed a gun at a woman and her...

When Mid-Continent University announced it would be closing June 30, it didn't just affect students on the Mayfield campus.
It affected people across the state, people like Danny Dale Wright, 63, of Lebanon. Wright is one of several local students who have been taking classes through Mid-Continent either online or through the classes that have been meeting weekly at the Marion County Adult Education Center in Lebanon.

Clellan Hays remembers his first sermon.
"Mother's Day. May 13, 1984," Hays said.
That was more than 30 years ago, and Hays, 63, is still preaching. He was a founding member of Grace Baptist Church, and he says his message hasn't changed over the years.
"I'm a biblical preacher," Hays said. "I haven't changed my message and the message hasn't changed. It's still about Jesus Christ."

One thing is certain, when Fr. Ben Brown of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and St. Catharine College decides to retire from the active ministry, no one will be able to say he hasn't had a full career.
Celebrating 40 years as an ordained priest on May 25, Brown has seen practically every corner of the world and served in a variety of positions that have each taught him something about his faith and the faith of others along the way.
The Kick Butt Kookers - Bill Greenwell of Lebanon, his son-in-law, Adam Gossom, and Dana Jackson of Calvary - will be competing at the Bourbon City BBQ Festival in Bardstown June 6-7.
After three years of competing, they're starting to get the hang of this BBQ thing, Greenwell said.
They've gone from finishing in 18th place to 5th, and winning first place in the pulled pork division among 24 teams last year.
"I think we're getting better," Greenwell said.

Despite a drop in production and profits after the earthquake in Japan, Toyota Motor Company officials are optimistic about the automaker's future. Toyota sales spokesperson Steve Curtis says the parts shortage that followed the earthquake has not been as long or severe as expected. Toyota profits dropped by 77 percent after the disaster, but Curtis says demand, at least in North America, remains high.
It was reported today that Humana intends to stop hiring smokers, where the action is legally permitted. The company wants to encourage healthy behavior among workers and already has a policy of not hiring smokers in southwestern Ohio.

At 8 a.m. Saturday Asia Ciaravino raced down to The Playhouse theater to find a disaster falling from the ceiling.
"The plaster actually came loose a bit... [a] six-foot slab of it smashed onto the audience floor," she said.
Ciaravino, The Playhouse CEO and president, said one staff member was working at the time and heard the collapse after heavy rains collected on the roof, pouring onto the ceiling area and dropping everything to the carpeted theater floor of the Russell Hill Rogers Theater.
Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, said his plan uses a portion of the Rainy Day Fund without actually taking money out of the Rainy Day Fund.
"What it does is once you pass a certain threshold and as the fund approaches filling, which it got pretty close, then it would splinter part of that off for constitutionally dedicating some of that revenue stream to transportation," Nichols said.
Nichols says this will allow the Rainy Day Fund to continue to grow, but not as quickly. Sen. Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, helped solidify the financing portion of the plan.
Eight of the 15 fastest-growing large cities in the United States are in Texas, but among those eight, it may come as a surprise that San Marcos is leading the charge, with a 4.9 percent rate of growth.
San Marcos had the highest rate of growth between July 2011 and July 2012 among all "large cities" in the U.S. (defined as cities and towns with at least 50,000 people). They made the list by the skin of their teeth, barely cracking the mark with a Census Bureau population estimate of 50,001.
In the first segment:
Susan Combs, Texas state comptroller, launched a new website--tellthetruthtexas.org--detailing the cities and counties in the red on projects large and small. She gives her take on public debt and why Texas owes over $7,000 per capita. Ben Gorzell, San Antonio Chief Financial Officer, also joins us.
In the second segment:
The San Antonio Food Bank is asking for the public's help as the need for volunteers is critical over the next 12 weeks.
Thousands of children who participate in the national school breakfast and lunch program won't be getting those meals during summer vacation.
The National Association of Letter Carriers raised half a million pounds of food on May 11, and now the San Antonio Food Bank is strategizing the delivery of that food.
San Antonio City Council last night heard three hours of pleas from opponents of a high-density housing development who said it will be the beginning of the end of the Bracken Bat Cave.
Dozens of speakers came to ask council to prohibit SAWS from building sewer lines to the Comal County project.
From the senseless deaths of children in Newtown, Connecticut at Sandy Hook Elementary, to the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado, high-profile tragedies involving guns never cease to shock people across the nation.
The debate has sparked dialogue on whether the problem is guns, or the people behind them.
Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said she believes mental illness is an issue that needs to be thoroughly examined.
As the flood waters recede and evaporate from Saturday's rains, Bexar County is breaking ground on a flood control project on Fredericksburg Road.
The Northwest Plaza Shopping Center at Fredericksburg and Gardania was condemned and torn down a few years ago and is now a concrete slab. The 26-acre plot of land just a few blocks south of loop 410 and Wonderland Mall will now become two large detention ponds about 8 feet deep to alleviate flooding.
The $28 million Laddie Place flood control project is part of the county's 10-year $500 million flood plan.
The 502nd Air Base Wing at Joint Base San Antonio has a new commander and local political and business leaders joined military dignitaries for the change of command ceremony at the base Wednesday morning.
Brigadier General Theresa Carter took command just months after the 502nd was relocated to San Antonio after the BRAC realignment and replacing Carter is Brigadier General Robert La Brutta, who comes to the 502nd with management experience.
La Brutta was most recently the director of manpower and personnel for the U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.
It will be 20 years since Texas Comptroller Susan Combs stepped into a state-elected office and at one point she had also been positioning herself for the spot of lieutenant governor, so why hang her hat up now?
"Well, my husband and I had been talking over the last several months at dinner time about sort of the next direction we wanted to take," Combs said. "We talked about the fact that I will have served 20 years in elected office by the time I finish this, and he said, 'Do you really want to do another four to eight years, and what would you accomplish?"

You don't see too many — well, I can't think of any so far — posts about the ongoing abortion/choice wars here.

For the Times West Virginian
At 21-6 in the Big East, West Virginia probably has assured itself a spot in the NCAA Tournament but don't tell that to Mike Carey or his West Virginia women's basketball team.
Not with No. 8 Notre Dame coming to the Coliseum tonight for a 7 p.m. game.
See, Carey knows better than to count on anything when it comes to selection committees.
He also knows something else.
"You're only as good as your last game," he said.
Right now that's pretty darn good, having gotten a measure of revenge on Pittsburgh by knocking the Panthers around 90-79 on their home court.
In a day, however, Notre Dame will have been the Mountaineers last game and only a victory will satisfy him and his ladies, all of whom seem to be rejuvenated after losing five of six games at a point when they thought they could ride into the nation's Top 5.
What turned the Mountaineers around at Pitt and is it a permanent thing?
Well, actually it's two things involving two players … Sarah Miles, the senior point guard, and Aysa Bussie, the sophomore pivot.
Miles had been struggling terribly, once actually turning the ball over 11 times.
Then came the game at Pitt.
"That's the first time since she's been back (from injury) that I've seen the old Sarah Miles," Carey said.
Against Pitt there were nine assists and one turnover from Miles, who put the team into its sets and ran them as they were supposed to be run.
"She was just being more aggressive," senior Liz Miles said. "She was pushing the ball, not worrying about turnovers. She was just going at it."
At the same time Miles was turning up the juice so was Bussie, who is supposed to be a force down low but who had not played with much zest, scoring just 12 points in the three games leading up to the Pittsburgh game.
Against Pittsburgh she pushed to the basket, looked for her shots and hit five of six while also marching to the free throw line to hit six of nine.
She finished with a season high 16 points and a bucket full of respect from her teammates and coach.
"She was on top of her game," Carey said.
But then so was everyone.
"Everyone was looking for their shot. We had 20 assists and 10 turnovers, which means we gave the ball up," Carey said.
All was not well, however, for the defense gave up 78 points and that is not the kind of ball Carey likes to play.
"I'd rather score 70 and give up 55," he said.
But when you've lost five of six you can't be choosey.
Notre Dame, 22-5, is a balanced, hard playing team with big, physical guards who will also attack and averages 80.1 points a game.
Skylar Diggins, a sophomore guard, is a semifinalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award given the nation's top point guard. She averages 14.1 points a game and has 125 assists in 27 games.

In 1922 a consolidation took place where the D. Gruen, Sons & Co, Cincinnati, The Gruen Watch Manufacturing Co, Biel/Bienne and the Gruen National Watch Case Co, were merged into "The Gruen Watch Company". 1923 the company moved into a new facility, in Biel/Bienne.
In marketing and advertising, the Gruen Watch Company used 1876, and later, 1874, as its official founding date. The 1876 date is actually the founding date of the Columbus Watch Company, and the 1874 date is actually the year that Dietrich Gruen's first patent was issued.
By the mid-twenties, Gruen's sales had reached over five million dollars. In total sales, it had become the largest watch company in the U.S., as well as first in the average watch price!
In 1930 Gruen introduced the Baguette watches.
After the start of the Depression, 1930 an arrangement was made with Alpina, with the production of a dual branded Alpina/Gruen watch.
In 1935, Gruen introduced the first "Curvex" wristwatches for men. The Curvex is the company's most famous design. Expanding on the then-current fashion for long, rectangular wristwatch shapes, the Curvex watches were curved to wrap around the wearer's wrist. The biggest innovation of the design was to place a curved movement inside the curved case, allowing the watch to be thinner and more curved, and allowing the movement to be larger, more durable and more accurate than would have been possible if a smaller, flat movement was used. A year later, Curvex models for women were introduced.
During World War II, the Time Hill factory stopped making watches and instead worked exclusively for the U.S. military, manufacturing gauges and instruments for aircraft, ships and submarines. The company also made precision gauges used for delicate surgical instruments and for radios and other electronic equipment. During WWII, some watches were still manufactured at the Precision Factory in Switzerland and imported.
It was during and shortly after WWII that many American watch companies began to lose market share to Swiss imports. Many American watch companies began to move manufacturing to Switzerland in the 1940s and 1950s, while Gruen, who had always manufactured watch movements in Germany or Switzerland, launched the '21' series of wristwatches (named for their 21-jewel movements) which were entirely made in the United States.
The Gruen family sold their interest in the company in 1953, and the firm was broken up and sold in 1958. The watch manufacturing business was moved to New York under new ownership, and manufacturing was done exclusively in Switzerland.
The operation in Biel/Bienne closed its doors in 1977; their wonderful building topping the city was bought by their old supplier, J. Aegler, now Rolex Manufacture.

Warren Slocum upped the ante on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors election Monday, becoming the eighth candidate to run for the District 4 seat.
Slocum, San Mateo County's former Chief Elections Officer & Assessor-County Clerk Recorder, differentiated himself from other campaigners in his candidacy announcement by positioning himself as the environmental candidate who would develop the economic climate through cultivation of clean enterprises in the county.
"We need to bring the spirit that made Silicon Valley the world's innovation leader to county government," Slocum said, noting the county faces very expensive problems such as health care and jail realignment that "require creative thinking, political clout, and bold leadership."
"We can't afford to move slowly; we need to recapture that can-do spirit, pursue common sense solutions and act," he said.
The San Mateo County Elections Office candidate roster shows three people from , two from East Palo Alto, and now three from are running for the seat that Rose Jacobs Gibson will vacate this year.
Jacobs Gibson sits on the District 4 seat, which encompasses Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, Redwood City and unincorporated portions of San Mateo County in between these towns. She has represented the interests of these communities since she was appointed to San Mateo County Board of Supervisors in 1999. She will pass the responsibility of prioritizing the needs of about 150,000 people, according to the latest census data, to the person who is elected in three months.
Slocum said a major difference between him and the other candidates is his "countywide leadership" and "county specific experience."
"I have deep ties in the community from years of service," Slocum said. "I will use this network to pursue public private partnerships to improve the quality of life in this beautiful area we call 'home.' My familiarity with the people and processes in place in county government means that I can be effective from day one."
The election will be held June 5.
