"This is really neat!" wrote Michael Wallacavage, as he sent around a link to this fascinating clip of Eric Whitacre's virtual choirs. Watch it, and I think you'll agree.
The singing starts at 6:27 and then again at 12:12 on the timeline. But don't skip what comes before! Whitacre's introduction is very interesting and engaging. He not only talks about the project itself, how it came about and so on, but also explains how he got interested in classical music. As a youth, his dream was to be a pop star. (He wanted to be the fifth member of Depeche Mode. Remember them?). But when he got to college he joined a choir instead. Not for love of music, mind you, but because it included a free trip …continue reading
Carole, I read and admired your recent article on the need for a personal relationship with Jesus. I even started a post about it, but then found myself getting bogged down in the side issue of the meaning of phenomenology, which was I was afraid would overshadown my deep agreement with your gist.
I think many, if not most, of us have been raised to be deeply suspicious of the emotions. We confuse affective coldness or indifference with being "objective" and "rational", when, really, we're being out-of-touch—with ourselves, with others, and with God.

Thanks Carole. I agree with you about John Paul II. He is very aware, it seems to me, of a specifically modern type of resistance to the very idea of God, which argues that a flourishing personal existence is impossible under the constant presence of an all-seeing and all-caring Being. God, in this frame of mind, is experienced as the biggest and most insufferable "Big Brother" imaginable.
It is important to show that this image of God, and of our relationship with him, is not true. God is all-powerful and all-seeing. But he does not have a "heavy hand".

Thanks Katie. What you say makes me want to add that while, as I say in my post, von Hildebrand does not develop the personal persective side of the emotions very much, he does have a lot to say about the heart being in some sense the real self of the person. He corroborates philosophically what Alice Miller claims: that to suppress or stifle the emotions, is to do real damage to a person.
Kate Whittaker Cousino, Sep. 20 at 10:04am
…our emotions should actually be increasingly trustworthy guides as we come into right relationship with truth and with others.
Exactly so, Kate. Emotions, if rightly developed, are often quicker and more sensitive than reason. The emotion of sexual shame is a good example. Wojtyla, as I'm sure you know, thinks "there is a need to to develop sexual shame by education." "In shame," he writes, "resides the genuine moral strength of the person" and "only a true and genuine shame insists upon a true and fully valid love."

I very much appreciate the insights of your article, Jules and your comments Katie. I'm interested in the experience of the "personal relationship with the Lord" which comes through so clearly in the thought of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict-- and find it fascinating how many people are deeply resistant to the idea of emotions interfering with their faith experience. Pope John Paul would have been very attentive to the need to integrate the objective and subjective experience of the human person in relationship with the Lord.

I appreciate this:
Sure, one way of seeing something is not the only way of seeing it. Every perspective is partial and limited. But every perspective is also unique and makes a contribution to the whole. It opens another window on reality; it provides another point of access to it.
Sometimes it seems to me that modern Christianity is terribly confused about emotion--either reducing faith down to an emotional response or state of being (as you occasionally see in Charismatic circles and quite certainly see in Joel Osteen type Christians) or engaged in an active distrust of emotion as something counter-rational that will lead us astray. That the devil can use our emotional responses is taken as a given; that God might as easily use them is somewhat more suspect.
I like the reminder that emotion is not baseless—it follows upon beliefs and particular relationships between the self and the object of emotion—which suggests that our emotions should actually be increasingly trustworthy guides as we come into right relationship with truth and with others.

Jules, I love this insight, which coheres nicely with what I've been reading in Alice Miller and others about emotions.
They are, in a way, the true self. They are where the self "contacts" reality.
Alice Miller critiques the "poisonous pedagogy" prevalent in Germany in the 19th century that aimed at subduing individuality, which meant correcting, suppressing and controlling emotion.
In the tradition we are dealing with, it was considered obstinacy and was therefore frowned upon to have a will and mind of one's own.
This led to confusion about reality and alienation from self.
The result of a child becoming dulled to pain is that access to the truth about himself will be denied him all his life.
And that of course created adults who were susceptible to ideologies like Naziism.
The more successfully a person was denied access to his or her feelings in childhood, the larger the arsenal of intellectual weapons and the supply of moral prostheses has to be, because morality and a sense of duty are not sources of strength or fruitful soil for genuine affection. Blood does not flow in artificial limbs; they are for sale and can serve many masters.

I've been reading a lot lately about alcoholism and related 12 step programs.
I few things stand out especially.
1. Addictions cripplie us in our will, our moral agency. We cease to be captains of our own souls, as Oscar Wilde put it.
2. The first step of the solution is admitting that we've lost control. That is, we stop trying to succeed with will power.
3. The rest of the solution depends on three things: Asking for the grace of God and relying on, accepting the help of others, and committing ourselves to serve others in the same condition.
Look at how personalist all this is, and how like the gospel!
We are impotent to save ourselves. We have to turn to God and entrust ourselves to Him. But His way of working with us is through and with other persons, both fellow believers and unbelievers.
Persons are both individual and community. We are selves who need others, and who are called to give ourselves to others.
Seeing all this gives me hope and joy. Addictions seem to me a major modern path to redemption and reality.

"I am seeing more and more how the human idea of mercy is protection from truth. True mercy [divine mercy] is an encounter with Truth—which is extremely painful."
That is very well put, Katie. it is an excellent point as well, that this is what purgatory is about. The truths about ourselves regarding our sins and weaknesses, the sufferings we were trying to escape by running away from these truths, will become our purification in the afterlife. We will have to face up to them and see them for what they are. The idols we failed to give up will have to be burnt away from us, and this will be painful.The difficulty there, of course, is that we can't take a break from this purification, which is something we can do here (and often do to the point of trying to run away from it completely).
Sep. 11 at 5:55am | See in context
Katie, I was thinking more of people who value relationships but want to claim absolute authority over how much they encroach on the self--like people who marry "as long as we both shall love" or a man who fathers a baby but reserves the right to ignore it from then on. They value relationships, but they don't grant that once you (validly) marry, from then on you are that person's spouse, or once you've procreated, you are a mother or father. It changes you ontologically. Who you are is not separate from who certain relationships have constituted you to be. Does that make sense?
Of course this is not to say that mothers may not work outside the home, or that annulmnets or separation or civil divorce may not be necessary. It's not to reduce the person to a certain, narrow understanding of what a wife or mother or father is supposed to be. It's not to deny the person's legitimate autonomy.

As the Boston Red Sox celebrate by going worst to first and winning
their 3rd World Series Title in the last 10 years there are some
rumblings by baseball bloggers that the grand old game needs a facelift.
That it is too slow, too long, too boring for today's society of
attention span deprived zombies. I call bulls#*t. The game is fine.
at-bat in playoff games is meaningful and when a team like the Red Sox
grinds out at-bats, taking pitch after pitch to wear down the opposing
pitcher, the tension is palpable. And if you are not entertained by that
then that's on you. These games, while not mistake free, certainly were
entertaining and not just to fans of the two teams. The tv ratings have
never been higher and grew from each series to the next. And that's
with many of the games on Fox, who believe that shots of the fans are
more important than what's on the field. We missed seeing the pickoff of
Kolton Wong to end a game because the camera's were focused on the
stands. The games are the thing...the players are the thing...everything
else is (or should be) secondary.
A writer
in Sports Illustrated this week is suggesting a major change to the
game to make it more"exciting". He suggests that once a game managers
would be able to designate a 'bonus at-bat" so that they could send
their best hitter to the plate even if it wasnt his time to bat. The
thinking being that guys like David Ortiz would bat in the most critical
situations. At first blush the idea might hold some excitement but to
my way of thinking it would take a major plus away...the idea that at
anytime some unlikley hero could emerge. If this radical idea was
implemented there would have been no Al Weis...no Buddy Biancalana...no
David Freese...none of the unlikely heroes of playoffs past.

Ecological travel in America
Eco-Tourism (Eco-Tours) is becoming increasingly popular. The U.S. offer, due to their very diverse nature for ecological travel and the offer of the tour operator is correspondingly large.
Given the numerous offerings fall on three main areas in which there is to book some very special tours.
The "Sunshine State" offers not only wonderful beaches, the Everglades, a unique natural reserve, which invites you to a variety of Eco-Tours. All, of course tours to name with the alligators, where travelers can enjoy together with the animals a "dinner" or they can admire the magnificent flora and fauna besides. All tours are conducted on specially prepared for the swamp boats and are a highlight for every eco-tourists. Off the coast of Florida can also take divers a unique view into the deep sea world and as coral reefs in Biscayne National Park marvel.
Grand Canyon:
The greatest natural spectacle of the United States. The huge gorges are a paradise for eco-tourists, the adventure and want to enjoy an almost unberüherte nature.
The possibilities are great. You can explore the canyon by horse, donkey or a mountain bike, there are day tours or tours that go for several days. Of course, walks on foot are possible, waterfalls and rivers can be explored in more detail.
In Alaska, there are very many national parks and pristine nature. There are tours where you can watch the bears fishing for salmon, where you catch yourself giant fish with a fishing rod or where you go by boat through raging rivers. Before Alaska's coasts, you can watch whales and of course there are numerous offers for climbers who may try to extremly difficult to defeat glaciers. Alaska is a land of extremes, offering both adventure and incredible natural beauty.
In the last few years in the U.S., the trend towards more ecological environment continued for ecotourists. Would profit from the deals, where in addition to the tours also increased most ecological houses used Anreisemögichkeiten offered by train or respected humane treatment in the observation of the animals. In addition, always use more ecological tour operator of luxury, environmentally friendly technologies in power generation for the hotel facilities.

It appears one thing that Israeli wineries are really bad in is starting an informative, useful and appealing website, and keeping it up-to-date (this one is even harder, it seems).
Some wineries just don't have a website. Some have it stuck in 2002 with "news" items touting the release of the 2001 wines, some realized they were stuck in the middle ages and took theirs down, pending a new website that just never seems to materialize.
Now, if I were a marketing guy for any of these wineries, a website would be on the top of my list of priorities. If you want to create customer loyalty, this is one of the first things you do. For a wine buyer to come to like your winery, they'll want to visit the winery in person, and until that happens - at least visit the winery's website. I know I do, as a customer.
What's holding them back? Surely not the technology involved, because there are companies that build the website for you. It shouldn't be too expensive either, at least for the medium-sized wineries and up. You just have to supply the information about the winery and the wines, some nice pictures, and - voila - there is enough creative talent out there to build the website. Hopefully the website comes with some easy way for the "technologically challenged" people in the winery to update it.
Another peeve is non-standard HTML which means the websites don't show well on Firefox and other non-IE browsers.
What's you take on the subject?
Some quickly-assembled food for thought (or wine for drink):

http://www.dalton-winery.com/ (pending)
http://www.amphorae-v.com/wines.asp (middle ages)
http://www.pelterwinery.com/events.aspx (late middle ages)
http://www.binyaminawines.co.il (surprisingly good website)
http://www.tzubawinery.co.il/ (was middle ages, now much better)
http://www.recanati-winery.com/ (that's the least one can expect)

Blaming People For Behavior Problems
It's counterproductive and unfair
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.

What a great article. I used to judge people with difficult dogs. Then I got Tess. She had a wonderful start with lots of positive socialization and training but was high strung and snappy her whole life. Having her made it clear to me that there are numerous factors, including genetics that make up a dogs behavior. As an animal control officer, I do wish people would manage their dogs better. I see so many people allowing their dogs to run loose and cause problems. It wouldn't matter what their temperament is if they were safely confined, trained, and kept in such a way that they cannot be a problem to others. DINOS recently posted an excellent article about management being more important than "how you raise them".
Shirley, I absolutely agree that better management would be so helpful in many cases. Just because it's not fair to blame the people for their dog's idiosyncrasies doesn't mean that guardians are not responsible for keeping their dogs out of trouble as best they can. Thanks so much for pointing this out! Whenever anyone has a dog who struggles to be their very best self in certain situations, it's up to the people to prevent having their dog in those particular circumstances. Leashes, fences, and crates can work wonders!

You have NO idea how much your article means to me. I've been living with guilt for months now. We have reached the point, now, where we MUST find our dog a new home by 8/23!!
Submitted by AdoptARescueDog | August 6 2013 | Permalink
Yes! This is heard all the time. I've been guilty of it myself (thinking it, not out loud blaming the person). Our local shelter's head of kennel operations now requires rescues to keep/place a dog no matter what its behavior issues. If we take a shy dog from the shelter and it's still totally feral in 2 months, the shelter says we (the volunteers from another agency) aren't doing our JOB and refuses to take the dog back or help in any way. So yes, I understand completely that some dogs are wired wrong and the bottom line is that not every person can manage every behavior. A dog that's in a bad situation or is disdained at home creates a horrible atmosphere for both the dog and the home. Ugh I'm babbling, but yes, it's first instinct to blame the people. Thanks for a great article.

Thank you for writing this.I've heard so often that it's the fault of the owner for all behaviour issues that I started to think I shouldn't own dogs any more as it was clearly me causing all the problems.It gets incredibly disheartening to be told constantly that you as the owner are the root of it all. One of my dogs is extremely dog reactive and was from the day I collected her from the rescue shelter. It is possible that this issue was caused by previous owners or she was simply born that way. My other dog who I raised from a puppy is not at all so I'm slowly realising that although I as their owner am responsible for most of their behaviour and helping them cope with difficult situations, there is only so much that is my fault.
Jennifer, I hope thinking about this in a new way will allow you to let go of the guilt and accept that not every dog grows up to be a laid back, go-with-the-flow non-reactive easy keeper. Good for you for focusing on helping them cope with whatever challenges they face!

True, owners don't necessarily cause the dog to have behavior problems. But I do feel that once people are aware that their dog's behavior is potentially dangerous, they are morally obligated to do whatever they can to protect the public. England is proposing a new law that would harshly penalize any owner whose death mauls someone to death. I'm in favor of such a law and I'd like to see stricter punishments here in the U.S. I believe anyone who knowingly allows an aggressive dog to run loose is at risk of committing negligent homicide.

For the last 4 years i have officially fostered dogs. During this time I acquired two totally unadoptable dogs. They are 60 lb hound mixes. They came to me with their Mom and siblings when they were only one day old. These dogs have never had a bad day in their lives. I have had them through obedience training and they are awesome at home. One is extremely other dog aggressive and the other is simply afraid of her own shadow. I do the best I can with these girls. I used to blame owners for aggressive behavior and was sure that my terrified rescues had been through horrible ordeals - sometimes the dog is just not wired right.
Brenda, your experience with these dogs has given you so much understanding and depth of knowledge. Although it is no doubt challenging at times, I hope you find that what you have learned from them is a real gift. I'm glad to hear they do well at home, and I hoe you enjoy them in that context especially. They are lucky to have you!

We refer to my two dogs as St. Ranger the Good and the Psycho Bitch from Hell. From that alone it should be obvious that we are not irresponsible people who didn't raise our dogs right. Ranger, the male, started life with every advantage; good temperament, good socialization, loving home, good health, etc. The female had none of those advantages. We adopted both of them from the local Humane Society when they were about a year old. The male wound up there when his person died, the female when the animal hoarders that raised her began to acknowledge that they had a problem. It's very frustrating when people judge me because she is a dog with a lot of issues. I know how far she has come since we adopted her and what huge deficits she began with. She received no socialization and no handling before she came to live with us. I know her. She was never going to be a social butterfly that loved people and other dogs but if she'd been given the right tools as a puppy she could be an awesome dog today. Dogs are wired how they are wired, she's always going to be more flighty, nervous, and suspicious than the male is. But it's also true that as responsible guardians it's our job to equip the dog with the best possible tools and to do everything we can to keep them safe and other's safe from them.
Submitted by Nubi | August 8 2013 | Permalink
But if you acknowledge that the female is difficult because she lacked socialization and she came from hoarders, then you should acknowledge that she isn't 'wired wrong', she's just had a difficult start in life - which puts the blame straight back on her previous owner.
I believe that some dogs have a more important disposition to turn aggressive or fearful than others, but at the end of the day, it's all in the hands of the owner to choose a dog who suits them and their training abilities, and to treat their dog right. Some dogs will inherently be more difficult to socialise and train, and in that case it's a pet parent's responsibility to put time and effort into rehabilitation, and seek help if needed.
It's awesome that you've adopted a dog who would have had trouble finding a home otherwise, and I hope that through your love and time and patience, she relaxes and becomes a happier dog in time. :)
You make some excellent points, and thanks for writing. Sometimes early experiences are to blame, but some dogs with rough beginnings still turn out quite well, which is why I think it's important never to assume we know if people could have done something differently or are to blame for a dog's serious behavior problems. I appreciate your logical and kind approach to this conversation!

Having had a dog adopted as an adult with serious aggression issues, I've received these disapproving comments and have reflected about it a lot.
One thing that I noticed is that this sort of blame placing parallels the blaming of the parents of seriously mentally ill people when they act out. We know that our ability to cure or even control mental illness is limited and not by any means perfect.
I suspect that this sort of blame placing is driven by our need to believe that our lives are controllable. It is motivated by fear. Placing blame serves to displace our discomfort.
Tak, you are so right. It does make us feel better to think that a person is to blame for the trouble they are facing whether it's with a human or with a dog because then it makes us feel confident that we will never face such troubles. it's a false sense of comfort and one that we should abandon. Thanks for the insight!

The most difficult barrier I face as a trainer is the, "I know, it's me," feeling of the owner. It has almost become the scapegoat for all dog problems. The shoulder shrug, and the "I give up," look--it makes me so sad. I try to explain that, no, it isn't just you. You and your dog are functioning in a system with multiple inputs that affect each behavior. Our work is to tease out these inputs and eliminate/reorganized them so that functionality is increased. And yes, that means some work and some hard decisions.
Christine, I face the same issue sometimes, and I agree that it's so critical to explain to people that they don't need to hold onto all that guilt and that they must not blame themselves. Luckily, many people who I have worked with know that they are not to blame and just seem to be worried that I will blame them (which I won't.) These are the people who say to me, "I've had so many dogs throughout my life and none have EVER had this problem with any of them until this one." It's always great to be able to reassure them that I understand that every dog is different and that if it were their fault, all of their dogs would have had the same struggles. Best of luck as you help each family get out from under the feeling that it is all their fault.

I have a dog who is very territorial and not fond of strangers. As a puppy, I got him at 8 weeks old. He was scared and timid of anyone new. Strangers couldn't pick him up, or he'd yelp. As he grew older that "Fear" seemed to turn into a suspicion of strangers along with aggression. I did the best I could to socialize him but it caused him stress. He is the sweetest dog to our immediate family, and does well with individuals outside the home who visit and have visited frequently. Is it our fault? Maybe I should of gotten training sooner. But he is my 4th dog and the first with issues such as this.
Kristi, it sounds like you acquired a naturally shy little guy who loves you and your family and can adjust only slowly to new people. His behavior as a puppy was not typical, suggesting he came into this world prone to high levels of fear. This is exactly what I'm talking about--it's not your fault. Your job is not to take the blame, but to protect him from fearful situations, help him overcome his fears as best you can, and manage situations so he does no harm to anyone else. I'm glad he is so sweet with the family--enjoy him when you can and protect him from trouble!

It's nice to see someone who better understands all the issues. I cannot afford at this time to change my living arrangements which means living with two elder parents. We have had pups in our lives for decades. My little one came from a rescue group at 8 weeks of age and aside from puppy biting/chewing issues was not problematic. She got along well with everyone at the vet's office, including the vet...though she saw him infrequently. We have gone to classes and the instructor did not feel she was aggressive. At our last vet visit the vet came into the exam room boisterously, extended his hand to shake mine, over my little one's head, and she jumped up in an attempt to grab/bite his hand. There was no damage; they placed a soft muzzle very briefly.
Robin, your comment is the perfect example of how we never know what someone is going through, and you obviously have more on your plate than anyone could imagine. It's easy to see that you care deeply about everyone involved, and I urge you to do all you can to protect your fearful dog from any poor treatment, even if it's from your own parents. Best of luck to you--clearly you are dealing with a lot.

I'd also like to point out that our society is particularly bad about victim blaming no matter whether it's being blamed for our dog's behavior or it's being told we caused our own lung cancer (even if we never smoked) or being informed by a relentless media that if we are unemployed it is because we have "given up looking for work". I've often thought that the great American pastime isn't baseball - it's victim blaming; so much easier to just find a target to point fingers at and arrogantly assign blame to. We have become increasingly an extremely cruel and overtly rude society where those who jump to uneducated conclusions are more likely to be lauded and supported than stood up to (just look at reality tv to see this behavior in action). The only truly effective response to rude, cruel and uninformed "blaming" is a long, cold stare followed by turning and walking away.

You make an excellent point. ALthough I must say it's a fine line in my own perception between being blamed, and being held responsible in terms of my pup's behavior. I do feel we are the grownups and responsible...but it would be nice if other's could sometimes realize we're doing the best we can. I sure hope you are not dealing with lung cancer by the way and/or unemployment.

This article is a true blessing. As life-long dog lovers, we have been very lucky to have lovely dogs until our latest. When she began demonstrating severe dog aggression, we were sure we could work it out and cultivate her into another wonder dog. We love our dog, of course. She is lovely and funny and a great companion and we have gone to great lengths in training, time and practice. She will never be a dog park dog. She is very challenging on walks. But she's our dog for life. They don't see her sleeping next to our blind and deaf, 17-year-old dog. They've never "made the bed" with her capering and "laughing" as we fluff the pillows. When strangers give us the stink eye it really hurts. I want to say, "We've always had really, really great dogs and we can't fix her." But, really, I can only hope that people don't judge us by our current dog. Some dogs bring amazing challenges. I hope on reflection they view our commitment to our dog as a positive. It's a character building experience for sure!

This is very helpful and clear. I've been blamed for the bad behavior of my troubled pound dog, Emma. One day I challenged a passer-by who was criticizing me; "Take her if you think you can do better!" The woman rushed away, afraid I might get more serious and make her take my dog! Nobody would want Emma and that's why I kept her and loved her and gave her the best home I could.
I also appreciate knowing that the difference between a troubled dog with issues and just an unruly and untrained dog is very helpful in my own judgements of both myself and others.
I would always say; "Emma wants to be good, she tries very hard!" I was right. Thanks for such clarity.
(Emma died two years ago of heart failure. She is greatly missed by her whole family.)

I think it's not about blame but how you handle it. To many people are too quick to give up. Also we know for fact that the way the human handles things has a direct connection to the behavior of the dog. It's a mix bag, it takes two to tango. Many people are high strung and then get a high strung dog and it's a recipe for disaster, unless the human is willing to get themselves under control(which is such a blessing). I think this article is true for the most part, BUT let's not let people off the hook so quickly. There's already enough dog dumping going on in the country. People need to grow up and take responsibility for their dogs and their kids. Every changeling situation is a learning opportunity either to give up without trying, work though tough times or to learn when to respectfully concede defeat. But you don't get to walk away feeling no blame, in my opinion. We can all do better!!!

The mission of Communities In Schools (CIS) is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. CIS partners with educators, students, and parents to identify needs of students who are at-risk of dropping out of school. By engaging community resource partners, CIS customizes learning supports for students and provides individual case management. CIS monitors student level data and tracks education outcomes. The CIS program model has six components:
Proven Dropout Prevention Strategies
The Texas Education Agency focuses state and federal resources on identifying and replicating proven strategies for dropout prevention and recovery. Research indicates that providing mentors or adult advocates for students at-risk of dropping out of school is an effective dropout prevention strategy to help students address learning, social, and emotional needs that are barriers to academic achievement. This is one of the proven strategies used in the CIS program. CIS also provides targeted academic support to address skill gaps and enrich the learning environment for students who are off-track and struggling.
Student Performance (Case Managed Students) 2012-2013:
According to a legislatively authorized study, Best Practices in Dropout Prevention in Texas (2008), CIS was found to be one of only three best practice dropout prevention programs in the nation. The study found that the following strategies were commonly used by the programs with the strongest positive outcomes:

A lot of us grab some breakfast, maybe a bagel, or a breakfast bar, and we're out the door. Then we eat lunch, and maybe even dinner on the go, too. There may be simpler way to eat better. Registered dietitian Paige Love with Nutrafit Sport therapy says it's easy to find foods that will help you keep your heart healthy -- think red, think blue, think bright and buy those foods."Heart disease is an inflammatory disease, so if we can take in foods that do the opposite, actually help bring down inflammation, these red, purple foods. In fact, being heart month, we want to eat red," said Love.The deeper the color, the more packed fruits and vegetables are with heart-healthy nutrients."So, put your red peppers, put your tomatoes, put your berries on your salad. Make it as colorful as possible, even with purple cabbage," Love said.Deep green vegetables are a great option. Berries may not look like much, but they are a nutritional powerhouse."Blueberries, strawberries, so any of those purple red berries," said Love.For protein, think pink and go for salmon, or any deep water fish. Love says try for three or four servings a week. It's high in Omega 3 and helps thin the blood.Oatmeal doesn't have much color, but it's packed with fiber, which may lower your bad cholesterol. Love says there's lots of buzz about tart cherry juice,"There's new evidence showing it is really an inflammation fighter. It can help with heart disease. It can help with muscle soreness after physical activity. So open a cup of tart cherry juice a day seems to be as helpful as taking one Advil in our body as far as anti-inflammatory benefits," said Love.Instead of trying to go out and buy all the food we mentioned, add one or two to your shopping cart on your next trip to the store. Love says work your way up to eating at least five or six servings of the bright fruits and vegetables a day.

In FY 2012, Bridgeport Hospital continued to work closely with a number of not-for-profit organizations supported efforts to create a healthier community through financial and in-kind services totaling nearly $88,000.
Community Health Needs Assessment – Bridgeport Hospital is one of the founding members of the Primary Care Action Group (PCAG), a coalition formed nearly 10 years ago that includes two community hospitals, five health departments/districts, three community health centers, state agencies, physicians and community organizations. In FY 2012, PCAG focused on developing a plan and starting the initial work for a Community Health Needs Assessment (CNHA). The assessment requires an analysis of major health needs in the hospital's service area as well as a plan to address key findings.
The PCAG Community Health Needs Assessment subcommittee, which includes the PCAG members and all local town health departments in a successful community-wide collaboration, initiated the first phase of the CHNA by completing a comprehensive inventory of existing health status indicators and asset mapping. Health scorecards were completed for each town based on Healthy People 2020 benchmarks, data gaps were identified and a consultant was selected to assist with filling in the data gaps and leading the development of the resulting Community Health Improvement Plan. The consultant work plan for FY 2013 includes the development of a survey tool to be used for primary data collection, focus groups and key stakeholder interviews. Local PCAG representatives were also very involved at the state level to develop a state-wide approach community health needs assessments to facilitate future alignment across the State of Connecticut.
The 2012 efforts of the Primary Care Action Group are meant to complement and expand previous efforts including the 2010 Bridgeport Hospital-led review of past needs assessment reports, local, regional, state and national public health data and state hospital and other local provider data to identify the key health issues in the community. Where possible, data for insured patients was specifically compared to that of uninsured patients to identify differences. This data was also utilized by the City of Bridgeport to create specific questions for a 2011 assessment that resulted in the creation of fact sheets for priority areas including: obesity, chronic disease: diabetes and asthma, lead testing, issues related to children, homelessness, smoking and food insecurity.
Anti-Obesity Advocacy – Get Healthy CT, created two years ago, expanded its reach and impact this year. This coalition, which was formed by members of PCAG, launched a website to provide information about its mission and member organizations, as well as education and access to resources on how to eat healthy and be physically active. It applied for a CMS Innovations grant and a CDC Community transformation grant, and in April, created and disseminated a Healthy Eating Pledge to local organizations and businesses, asking them to agree to serve healthy foods at meetings. Over 50 organizations, including Bridgeport Hospital, businesses, non-profit organizations and churches, have signed the pledge and are serving healthier foods, which will help the community reduce obesity over time. A Physical Activity Pledge aimed at helping employers to encourage physical activity for their employees was implemented in September.
Volunteer Leadership on Community Boards – The Hospital also works collaboratively with many organizations within the Greater Bridgeport Area and provides expertise to the governing bodies of other organizations. As a result, the Hospital provided over $25,000 of in-kind support to organizations and coalitions such as the Primary Care Action Group, Get Healthy CT, Bridgeport Regional Business Council's Health Care Council, Optimus Healthcare, Ronald McDonald House of CT, University of Connecticut Allied Health Advisory Board and VNS of Connecticut. Hospital employees also recruited volunteer walkers to help raise awareness and funds for the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the Southern Regional Sickle Cell Association. The events support research and patient education initiatives.

Sponsored by the ISBA Intellectual Property Section
Program Description:
Do you ever wonder what motivates a trademark examining attorney or a patent examiner to allow or not allow your application? Their reasons might surprise you! This CLE program will describe in depth the "count system" which measures the daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly constraints and expectations that trademark examining attorneys and patent examiners must meet in order to succeed at the USPTO. You will be surprised how the count system affects examination and strongly impacts how applications are evaluated and processed at the USPTO. In addition, the program will discuss ethical considerations when communicating and dealing with examiners and examining attorneys.

It was mainly the collage that inspired this outfit that I wore to school yesterday, but the editorials (Coco, specifically) were too insane in the membrane not to post. Picnik has way too many awesome effects to choose from and it was hard narrowing it down to these, but there are more on my Flickr, along with detail shots.

Hello. I'm new blog reader of yours. I enjoy reading and seeing the imaginative and quirky styles you come up with. Anywho if you are looking for a photo editing software you should try out these free online apps called pixlr.com and a.viary.com's pheonix editor. I use both of them and are good photoshop substitutes

Hey, so I've read your blog a bit but have never commented before, but I had to say: These. Photos. Are. Fantastic. Everything works together perfectly, and the venetian mask is an especially great touch.

This is genuinely creative, you know. Not just the fashion -- the photography. I don't even recall how I came across your blog about a month ago but I've been extremely impressed by both the verve you show in your styles, and the growth in skill you've manifested in presenting them visually and in your writing.
Stick with it -- all of it. If you feel like you've found your calling, well, perhaps you have.

I'm assuming you took all these photos yourself yourself? In which case, wow. Especially love the first and last ones, and the muscles. Rrrowr.

- Maddi said...
I loveee your blog.
Your writing style is so unique and interesting, it "grabs the readers attention" as English teachers say. I have the same question as fairy queen, how did you manage to get so many readers?
I've just started one and want more people to visit.

This is such an awesome photoshoot! Looks like that inspiration board was VERY inspiring!
- October 19, 2008 2:39 AM
- warren said...
OK, one more thing to add.
The last photo in the series is, to my eye, the most striking. The siding in the image is almost like rays of the sun pointing to or emanating from you, or it could almost be interpreted as an angelic hint, a being of lift and light spreading her wings and getting ready to fly. A dove, a goddess, an angel or a dream -- there are lots of possible meanings behind that one stark photo.
Added to the mystery is the total blackness around your features, which suggests the void in the best ways -- becoming, preparing to find the light, growth and blossoming.
You might not have consciously intended any of that, but the symbolism is rich, and I've found in my own creative career that the best things I've ever done have been spur-of-the-moment things that just felt right in some way; and only later, after some thought, have I realized how weirdly profound it was.
That final photo is like that, as is the one you posted a few days ago with your shoes over the red leaf.
This is a beautiful thing you are doing here. Please keep doing it, whatever it is -- just let your heart and imagination guide you, as they have been so far.
The tomorrow you are making for yourself now is unbelievably rich, in the best sense of the word. I see profundity in nascence; I see a light and energy that truly could change the consciousness of all those it touches. I know how bizarre that seems -- you're just trying on clothes and putting images online and such -- but this is a rare jewel you're presenting here, and I would not be a fan if I didn't see something genuinely worthy in your work.
Stay with it, play with it, love and enjoy it. Keep being the girl who wants to beat up Shredder, and I'm pretty sure you'll be a woman who will energize, enable and empower thousands, possibly millions.
Best to you. Thanks for this wonderful sharing.

Thanks again dudes <3
And Warren, thank you so, so much. If I knew HTML I would make that "so" italicized. I'll carry what you said with me. When I took the last picture I wanted there to be a silhouette, and that you couldn't make out my features. To begin with I wanted it to be against a blank wall so the profile stood out more, but you make an excellent point. Did I say thanks? Thanks :)
For fairy queen and maddi, Belle of Fashion Pirates and I will be doing a vlog collaboration in which we talk about blog popularity and comments and such. I don't want to say everything right here, so just stay tuned for that!
And Lauren, thanks for the link, I love the collection.

- October 19, 2008 4:34 PM

Unlike the time I drew creepy mime lashes on, no, I did not wear the makeup to school :) I actually didn't have the idea until I started taking the pictures!

Health, relationship and finance. Welcome to

supernatural treasure and power to liberate
mankind from all afflictions. Why cant you live a
life of your dream? Why must you work so hard
and yet earn so little? Why cant you be happy
with the one you love and desire or why cant the
one you love reciprocate and appreciate that
love? Why would the doctor tell you there is no
solution or cure to your problems? Why would
your lawyer say you stand no chance, that your
case is hopeless? Have you been cheated by
anyone or those owing you money refuse to pay
back? Do you need a rapid job promotion in
your place of work? You want to venture into
politics? Now I understand certain things are
hard to believe and comprehend, but all I ask
from you is only 3 days and if you will follow my
instructions and use the items you will receive, I
promise your life will never be the same
again.If you find no relevance in the help I offer
I solemnly appeals do not be vindictive and go
in peace. And if your intentions are to take
advantage of the powerful nature of our items

All of the notes and examples so far have been strictly CGI.
It should not be understated the usefulness of getenv()/putenv() in CLI as well.
You can pass a number of variables to a CLI script via environment variables, either in Unix/Linux bash/sh with the "VAR='foo'; export $VAR" paradigm, or in Windows with the "set VAR='foo'" paradigm. (Csh users, you're on your own!) getenv("VAR") will retrieve that value from the environment.
We have a system by which we include a file full of putenv() statements storing configuration values that can apply to many different CLI PHP programs. But if we want to override these values, we can use the shell's (or calling application, such as ant) environment variable setting method to do so.
This saves us from having to manage an unmanageable amount of one-off configuration changes per execution via command line arguments; instead we just set the appropriate env var first.

$415-million -- not only could the city lose that much revenue in local tax revenues because of its shrinking population, it could also cause the casinos to close.
By state law, casinos can only exist in Detroit if the city has 800,000 people, and if they close, that's $150-million hole in the budget, not to mention the loss of thousands of jobs.
City leaders were shocked when I told them the math.
"I didn't know that," said Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh. "That's scary. I mean, clearly we're going to have to rewrite it."
That's not all President Pugh. Since the U.S. Census now puts Detroit under 750,000 people, the city doesn't meet the state requirements to tax income and electricity at the levels it does now. That's another $265-million down the drain.
The only way for Detroit to avoid the lights being shut off is for its politicians to go up to Lansing with a tin cup in their hand and beg.
"What would they want to extract, though. The city's already on the ropes, and nobody benefits from having the major city in extreme financial distress. That doesn't help anybody," said Bettie Buss with the Citizens Research Council of Michigan.
FOX 2's Charlie LeDuff asked Pugh whether he's willing to accept cuts in areas such as public service, police, fire or EMS to have the law changed.
"This is going to force us to decide how many employees we really need," he responded.
Detroit leaders are demanding a census recount, but that's going to take too long. It's either go up to Lansing and make a deal or fold.
Here's two excerpts from the Michigan Gaminig and Control Revenue Act:
Section 432.02: (l) "City" means a local unit of government other than a county which meets all of the following criteria:
(l - part i) Has a population of at least 800,000 at the time a license is issued.
Section 432.06: (8) A license shall be issued for a 1-year period. All licenses are renewable annually upon payment of the license fee and upon the transmittal to the board of an annual report to include information required under rules promulgated by the board.
