Marist and Redan will attempt to build onto their baseball traditions Monday as the high school season of sports nears its final out.
Championship series in classes AAAAAA (Milton-Roswell) and AA (Westminster-Lovett) resume while Redan travels to Marist for Game 1 of their three-game series in AAAA.
Marist defeated Redan in three of four meetings in the regular season and won the team's region. Marist also is favored because of its history of 12 state championships.
Redan's tradition is lesser known if only because this is the Stone Mountain school's first state final appearance.
Three Redan graduates are in the major leagues in Domonic Brown (Phillies left fielder), Chris Nelson (Dodgers third baseman) and Brandon Phillips (Reds second baseman). Retired all-star Wally Joyner also is a Redan alumnus.
Brown and Nelson played for current Redan coach Marvin Pruitt, the first 400-game winner in DeKalb County history. Redan's leading hitter is Chris Nelson's nephew, sophomore James Nelson, at .418. Redan also features Missouri signee Brandon Baker (11-1, 1.66 ERA) and Georgia signee Wesley Jones (.380). Jones is a likely MLB Draft pick.
"Our kids have a real good history of our program because the majority of those [major league] guys come back and talk to the club every year," Pruitt said. "Brandon [Phillips] comes back two or three weeks before reporting to camp and works out on our field and spends a great deal of time with the kids. We've also got a large college contingent that comes back and works out on our field."
The other two championship series have begun. Roswell plays at Milton on Monday in the deciding third game. They split a double-header on Saturday. Roswell is seeking its first state title since 1986. Milton last won in 2004.
In AA, Westminster leads the series with Lovett 1-0 after a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Westminster has beaten Lovett all four times they've met this season, but by a total of only five runs. Westminster is trying to win its 10th sprint-sport championship. The previous state record had been five.
Already crowned as state champions are Pope (AAAAAA), Cartersville (AAA), Eagle's Landing Christian (A private) and Charlton County (A public). Baseball is the only GHSA sport with games remaining this academic year.
Monday's championship schedule:
Lovett at Westminster, 3 p.m.
Redan at Marist, 3 p.m.
Roswell at Milton, 4 p.m.

Glad to see homegrown talent spend time at "home". There are a number of homegrown guys on the south side that wouldn't go anywhere near their old school. Eh C.J. Stewart?

Great site!!!
Thought you and your viewers may be interested in my last film that they can watch for free at
Also I am working on a new film/experiment called "facebookumentary"@ http://www.youtube.com/my_videos
Just finished a blog on the best Docs of the decade and thought some of you may enjoy it.
Aranizda Turkce bilen varsa sitemize bekleriz…
(If you can understand in Turkish, you are welcome to my new website about documentaries…]
We want to share with you: '¿Sería Buenos Aires?' (Maybe Buenos Aires?)
Award-winning documentary, now free to watch online.
(Spanish with English subtitles)
A universal story that touches upon many of the themes that cross the modern world we live in: dislocation of people, destruction of their dreams overnight by crises they are not responsible for and their efforts to survive.
Hi everyone
Many years ago I turned on the tv and found myself watching an entralling documentary which followed a group of Australian Aborogines and an army squadron of (I think from the uk) navigate their respective courses across the Australian bush. The idea was that the two teams were challenged to see who would arrive first. It was wonderful to see the different approaches taken by the two teams – and most memorable was that the Aboriginals decided that the whole exercise was pointless and there was no reason at all why they should do what the producers wanted them to do!
I loved this documentary and would really love to see it again. I have tried to find a reference to it on the internet but with no success. Does anyone else recognise or remember it? Can anyone help me find it?
yours hopefully……………Simon
Hi, Our documentary is on History channel and you can see trailer at http://www.beneathblackskies.com.au – a history of coal mining in Australia including our largest industrial disaster.
Hi, Thought you would be interested in the new documentary from Shelley Saywell–described below—her IN THE NAME OF THE FAMILY won the Best Canadian Documentary Award at the Hot Docs 2010 Festival. Get in touch with me for more information, etc. Thanks
An estimated 5000 women arrive in Canada every to serve as caregivers. These women, mostly escaping poverty in the Philippines, need to support the families they left behind and dream of a starting a new life in Canada. For many that becomes a reality, but others become victims of fraud, exploitation and abuse. THE NANNY BUSINESS, a documentary by Emmy Award winning filmmaker Shelley Saywell, profiles a few of the nannies and the ordeals they endured after arriving. It will be broadcast on Global Television's summer documentary series 'Currents' on Wednesday, July 7 at 10 pm.
The nannies arrive in Canada under the government's Live- In Caregiver Program that gives them temporary visas but stipulates that they must spend a minimum of two years working and living in the homes of Canadian families before they can qualify for residency status. For many of these women that two year period can be a nightmare locking them into households where intolerable work demands are made, including inhumanly long work days for below minimum wage, and subjected to verbal and even physical abuse.
THE NANNY BUSINESS traces the story of Edelyn Pineda who left her three children behind and paid thousands of dollars to a recruitment agency in Canada to make the arrangements and book her with a family. She arrived to discover that the agent had taken her fee but the "employer" who signed her contract was not interested in her services. "I can't believe this has happened to me," Edelyn told the filmmakers the day after she arrived, with no money and no place to stay. "I will never get over this." Joelina Maluto came to Canada after working in Hong Kong and the Middle East because "I heard Canada was a good country, and after two years I could bring my children here." Instead, she arrived to find she had no job and was forced to live in her agent's basement with 16 other nannies for the next 2 and a half months. When the agent finally got her a job, the employer forced her to work 18 hour days.
Edelyn and Joelina were among several nannies brave enough to go public about their experiences in the hope of forcing change. Their stories are put into wider context by journalist Susan McClelland, whose own search for a nanny led her to this story, and who's subsequent article "Nanny Abuse" for Walrus Magazine won an Amnesty Award.
Susan hopes that increasing publicity about the plight of nannies under this program will bring change. "I've written about sex trafficking, but caregiver trafficking is something we are now finding out about too," she says. "These women are put in very vulnerable situations and we need to protect them from exploitation and cruelty—-they need to have the same rights that every employee in this country enjoys."
THE NANNY BUSINESS is a Bishari Films production commissioned by Global Television. It was written and directed by Shelley Saywell and produced by Deborah Parks.

Thank you.
The newest trailer for WL:DOCS 'Drying For Freedom'.
A conflict is raging in the US. Protests, political movements and murder have taken place in the name of an unlikely ideal; clotheslines.
Tens of millions of individuals across Northern America are banned from outdoor line drying by the very communities they live in, forcing them to turn to the dryer. Homeowners who break the rules are fined, sued and even foreclosed on. This ban is not only infringing on civil rights, it's contributing to the environmental and energy crisis. The dryer is responsible for 6% of the average household's energy bill and it costs the US an estimated $5 billion annually.
Corporate America has sold the dryer and the consumption of electricity as a status symbol, and now they have their eyes on a much bigger prize – the world.

Marc (me)and Jackie(My X)
My name is Mark and I am an Adult baby/ nappy Lover and this story is all about one night where my dreams finally became realities. Last year sometime I was at one of my best friends houses just chilling watching CSI Miami with his mom, dad, My buddy Josh, and I. His Older brother was at University at the time and his younger sister was in her room doing gosh knows what. Her name is Jackie.
About half way through the show she came out to join us. She is a very attractive girl. She has short curly brown hair, very cute girl. She was a knockout actually. And she was 2 years older than me. This was about the first time that I noticed how attractive she was. I was 18 at the time. She appeared before us with a cheeky little smile and joined us to watch the remainder of the show.
This was the first time that I had been over for the night. Jackie wore a pink footed sleeper with very babyish print all over it. It was very cute on her. I even noticed that it had a bum flap in the back. I assumed just a childish addition to keep those young at heart. She came and sat down right beside me. As she bent and plopped herself next to me, I heard a destined sound come from under her pink clad cute little bottom. It was that crinkle that I listen for in ever woman I come into contact with. The crinkle that one only hears from an infant as they tumble upon their nappy encased bottom.
I did not pay much attention to her throughout the TV show because i did not want to be too obvious to her parents. Josh became thirsty and went to get a soda from the basement but did not return. We thought nothing of it.
When the show was over Jackie announced that she was ready to retired to her bed and see everyone in the morning. As she got up I heard that crinkle again and noticed as she walked she waddled a considerable amount. At this point I was positive what she was wearing under her sleeper. All of the pieces added up too perfectly to be any other possibility.
She wished everyone a goodnight and she got about a third down her hallway, still in plain view, and her father asked her "Jackie, do you need to be changed?"
Her head snapped around like I had never seen before and she almost had tears In her eyes. I remember hearing her whisper under her breath, "Not tonight Daddy!"
Her dad asked again in a much firmer tone "JACKIE! Do you need your nappy changed?" The tears start to stream down her face at this point because she had been reveled to me. She replied to him in a stronger voice "NO Daddy, not tonight." He said, "Get over here ill see for myself."
She did as she was told with her head facing the carpet the entire trip over to her father. He grabbed her hand and pulled her over his knees and expertly undid the butt-flap in the seat of her sleep to exposed a very thick white disposable nappy. It had to be a triple thick nappy. Her dad put his finger in the waistband of her nappys, pulled back and said "Were you planning on sleeping in your poopy nappy?? Because I know you weren't going to change it yourself again. You know what that means if you do, another week of school in a nappy, and I told you the next time you change yourself I would make sure you were double nappyed every morning so everyone you see during the day would realized what a baby you are!…And as For LYING to me "SMACK! He spanked her right on top of her messy nappy, hard, and she started to whimper. SMACK SMACK SMACK. Three more hard spanks came her way in a hurry. He said to her, "Are you going to behave yourself from now on and obey the rules that I have set out for you?" Nothing came from her except quiet whimpers and sobbing.
Her dad then said in a loud voice "I guess that means no, so I will have to teach what happens to naughty little girls that don't obey the rules" I had no idea what was going to happen at this point. "You will receive 10 spankings on your messy nappyed little behind and you will count every one of them. Then you will receive 10 more on your bare bottom to ensure that you do not try this again when we have company over."
With that said the punishment started SMACK….. "one", "young lady, unless you want more than you are promised you had better speak up!" SMACK "TWO", SMACK "THREE", SMACK "FOUR", I could hear by the sound of the smack that the spankings were progressively getting harder on her cushioned bottom. SMACK "FIVE", SMACK "SIX", SMACK "SEVEN", SMACK "EIGHT", SMACK "NINE", SMACK "TEN".
Jackie had steady tears coming down and was on the verge of full out crying. Her dad then grabbed the top of her nappys and pulled them down just below her cute little butt and repeated the same procedure. On the first SMACK, her body jolted and an instant hand print appeared on her cheek. She stammered out a meek "one" and I saw the sympathy in her father's eyes. He lighted up slightly on the next 3 or 4 but just as before continued to spank her harder as they continued and by number 10 Jackie was balling her eyes out. "Just to make sure… SMACK!!!!" Number 11 hit her hard. That was the loudest and hardest one of them all. She started a full out crying fit after that one. She was a 20 year old girl bent over her fathers knees, with her messy nappys pulled down to her thighs and being spanked, right in plain sight in front of me.
When it was all over her nappy was pulled back up into place and her sleeper buttoned back up to cover her nappy clad rump. Her dad then said "Lastly, you will sleep in your messy nappy as further punishment because I nor your mother will change you and until someone does agree to change you, you will remain in it." She said nothing and did nothing except rub her very sore nappyed butt. She then sauntered down the hallway to finally go to her much desired bed to get away from this mess of an evening.
Josh, her brother, who had been done stairs the whole time this was going on was now yelling for help. His mom went running down only to come back up shortly saying that josh had tumbled down the stairs and twisted his ankle. His parents then took him to the emergency hospital to get it looked at. They told me to stay their due to the fact that they might be many hours at the hospital and my parents were away.
They were gone maybe a half hour and I went to check on Jackie. I snuck in quietly to not disturb her but I heard her still crying slightly. I looked around her room in the dark and made out what I could of it. She had a lot of stuffed animals around her room and her walls were painted pink with babyish prints on them such as baby loony toon who were also wearing nappys and baby bottles and soothers all in a boarder around her pink room. I saw her in bed and she did not look at me or move at all. She had a desk to work at, a dresser with a mirror on it with scattered makeup covering the top of it. Then there was one item I had not expected. It was a long dresser that came just above my hip. It had a soft cushioned top on it and I noticed in a half open drawer, a stack of roughly 10 attends adult nappys. It was her nappy changing table.
I walked over to the wide awake girl and whisper in her ear, ill change your nappy… if you'll do the same for me. She turned over to look at me with swollen, sad eyes. I picked her up gently and placed her on the changing table and proceeded with the changing. I got her sleeper off and she laid before me, dirty nappys and nothing else. I took off her nappy and used about half a dozen baby wipes to clean up her very red and sore tushy.
I took a bottle of baby oil and rubbed it all over her bum and placed 5 cloth nappys under her. I used a liberal amount or baby powder on her bum, crotch area, and her nappy. Then i pulled up the massive nappy bulk and pinned it in place with 6 pins. I searched through the drawers and found a nice pair of pink plastic panties with cartoon figures on them and some nice bum ruffles on them. I pulled them over her nappys and found a pink shirt that was about 3 sizes too small for her and pulled it down over her head. It said on the shirt "nappyed Princess." She looked too cute for words. i picked her up in my arms and carried her over the the bed where i just held her and cuddled with her for almost an hour while she nestled her head just under my chin on my neck.
She turned to me after and said, "I've got to keep my promise." She got up, took my hand and led me up on to the changing table. I hoped up and she practically ripped my pants off me and then came my shirt. She took her sweet time with my boxers next. She ran her fingers through the waistband of them and snapped them against my skin. She then ran her hands up the openings of the bottom of the legs and brushed her chilled hands against my rock hard cock. She ripped my underwear off me to leave me buck naked.
I was standing at attention, to say the least. Then i saw the nappy come out. She had decided upon a disposable attends night time nappy. Jackie slid it under me and applied a hefty load of baby powder to my cock and balls, and my nappy. She stroked me a couple of times and i started to moan. She quit and forced my large cock into my nappy which she taped very tightly to my body. The night time nappy felt very thick once it was taped to me.
Jackie began to rub the front of my nappy and got her finger nail caught in the plastic. She didn't stop pulling when she got it caught and ripped the front open. She said to me "This just won't do, you are going to leak when you wet." She took out another nappy and put it on me but ripped that one too. I caught on then to her little game and it continued until i had 5 night time nappys on. She then got out some plastic panties to put over top just incase i guess. They were also pink with a very babyish print all over them. She told me to stand up while she slide them on me. I did as I was told. The nappys made it almost impossible to stand up and walking in these things was not even an option. She stood behind me and pulled up the panties. When they got to the top i heard a familiar "Click". I reached behind my waist only to feel a small pad lock, put in to hold a small chain through the waistband.
I looked at her with teary eyes and asked "What are you doing?" She explained to me that the reason she was in nappys at all is because her parents came home late one night, to find her with her locked in her plastic panties and 10, very wet, cloth nappys on underneath. She was searching her room frantically for the key to her nappys. Her mom then reached into her pocket and pulled out the key which she had acquired about a week before when cleaning her room. Jackie said that she was not unlocked out of her nappy prison but rather left in the same nappys for 24 more hours on top of what she had already been in them. Those 24 hours included a "7 Hour School" day. That was the worst punishment she could have gone through. That day she had to wear a short flowing skirt, to hide her bulk and a tight t-shirt which her parents made her wear so if she bent over, the top of the plastic panties would show under her shirt. She said that no one noticed but she got some funny looks about the smell. On top of all of that she couldn't hold her bowels through the night and had to go through the entire school day like that. And ever since that day, life has been the same as today. Her parents usually let her wear pull-ups to school so she can use the restroom but still be reminded of the baby she is.
I asked her where she put the key to these panties because I was about to wet them very soon. She said to me "I told you, my mom found the key a while back. She didn't give it back if that's what you're thinking!" I looked at her with devastated eyes, "WHAT! Well how am I going to get out of this mess?" "Wait for my mom to get home and ask her for the key," she said. I said a definite no to that, and she said that theirs no other way.
She told me to worry about all of that later and for now just enjoy what was going on between us. With that she started to rub my crotch with one hand and she put her other hand on the back of my neck and kissed me very patiently. We just made out for hours on her bed in out thickly nappyed bottoms.
We kept making out until we heard the front door open. I had wet myself a few times by now and was needing a change quite badly. Jackie said, "Hop in bed with me, get under the covers, and pretend you're sleeping when mom comes in. She won't care." I did as I was told because I didn't see any other way out.
So here are two young adults, lying in bed together, both in wet very thick nappys hidden only by a couple of blankets. When Jackie's mom came in, she sure did care. First she came in and saw that we were in bed together. She started to yell, "What the hell is going on here? I leave for a while and you two end up in bed together?" I found out later that Jackie's brother had to stay the night at the hospital and his dad stayed with him. Her Mom continued "Get out of that bed right NOW!" As she said this, she yanked the covers off of us only to expose out nappyed predicaments. It was clear that we both were in need of changing and that Jackie had been changed out of her nappys that she was meant to sleep in.
This was when it all started. She said to me "So it would appear that we have 2 babies in this house now. Well i guess i had better treat you accordingly." She grabbed my by my ear and pulled me across her lap. Then she laid into my well nappyed bottom only for a couple swats. She then produced a key out of her pocket, unlocked my nappys and pulled them down to my knees. Then she tore a strip out of me. She spanked my bare bum for probably a half hour. I was bawling my eyes out by the end. When she was finally done I just dropped off her knees onto mine. I was told to stand up, and as I did Jackie's mom pulled my soaked nappys back into place and locked the panties back up. She told me to get into the corner of the room and don't take my nose out of it.
I did as I was told. Her mom left the room and Jackie came over to me. She was giggling the entire way over. She got really close to me and whispered in my ear, "That was the hottest thing I've ever seen, I hope you'll do that to me tomorrow." I looked at her as if she was crazy. She told me that her parents are leaving for the week tomorrow and with her brother in the hospital for a few days the house was all hers.
Jackie heard her mom coming back down the hallway and scurried into bed. Her mom came into the room and told me to get over there. As I tuned around I saw what she had left the room for. She had gone and fetched a baby crib. She said to me "Since I see that you like to dress like a baby and act like a baby, then you will be treated like a baby." She told me to get into the crib and as I was climbing in she gave my stinging nappyed butt a hard swat to reassure me to stay in there through the night. I didn't think It would, but the crib held my weight and wasn't really too small either. She told me that I had to sleep wet, and in the crib for the night and maybe in the morning she would clean me up before they left.
She left the room with me trapped in my crib and facing Jackie on her bed and . Jackie opened a drour in her dresser and took out a pink girly pacifier came over to me and shoved it in my mouth. I did not dare spit it out, being in the position that i was in. She crawled up into the crib with me and we fell asleep together. That was the moment that i realized how much i loved this girl. She loved me and I loved her back.
I awoke cuddled up with Jackie laying on top of me. Her mom came in and gave Jackie the key to my nappys and said "do what you want with him." Her mom then left promptly after giving Jackie a hug and a kiss and the same to me. She told me she was sorry for last night but the same would happen again if she found us that way any more. I fully understood her thinking.
So she left the house and Jackie released me an hour later after she got enough sleep. She took all of the dirty nappys off me and but two disposable nappys back on me. She said that we were going out so she put some tight thin red jogging pants and the nappyed princess shirt that she had worn before. I was quite the sight, Pink shirt, tight pants, pacifier pined to my shirt and clearly nappyed. She took great care of me all weekend while her parents were gone and took me home Sunday evening in my nappys and clothes to conceal them. We stayed together for years after that even as a couple and eventually got married. At this moment we don't have any kids and we also neither own any underwear. We are nappyed 100% of the time, and wouldn't have it any other way.
We are excited to announce the completion of our NEW exciting documentary film titled "Frequency of Genius."

I am the founder of the WLSFA ( Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America) We released this documentary in October 2010. Would love to hear you fd back. Thanks you!
The film, which was crafted by BariatricTV, documents an emotional, complex, and powerfully moving story of morbidly obese identical twin sisters Rosemary and Connie. Rosemary was covered by insurance and her life was dramatically changed as a result of her weight loss surgery six years ago. Connie, desperately needing the weight loss surgery to improve her health, has been denied over and over again. The film illustrates the complexity of morbid obesity, the impact on a patient's quality of life, and the struggle to escape it. Additionally, Connie is highlighted as the first-ever Inaugural Recipient of the Weight Loss Surgery Grant awarded by the WLSFA, making it finally possible for her to have weight loss surgery. Well Known Bariatric Surgeon and Author Dr. Garth Davis of the Davis Medical Clinic in Houston Texas will perform Connie's weight loss surgery procedure
Always nice to see people promoting good new documentaries. I'm trying to narrow down a list of my favorite ten from the – ever, and I'll definitely have to watch a few I found on your Top 50 before I can consider my ten well-enough informed.
Have you ever thought of doing a list for short documentaries?
I work with Actuality Media – an organization that takes media students to developing countries to produce short documentaries about local changemakers. We may have up to 15 short documentaries done by the end of the summer.

But she is not giving up and works on her dreams: Becoming a legal citizen of the Netherlands and establishing her own catering business.

MIAMI (AP) — Prosecutors say toxicology tests show a man accused of killing four tourists in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 95 had cocaine and marijuana in his system.
Willie Dumel is in jail awaiting trial on four counts of manslaughter and other felonies in the April 3 crash. The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/180dApD ) reports prosecutors released the toxicology report this week.
Dumel's defense attorney Andrew Rier says the report only shows that he had ingested drugs in the days before the crash. He told the newspaper there's no way to know if the drugs influenced his ability to drive.
Officials say Dumel led police on a chase before going up an interstate exit ramp and slamming into a rented SUV, killing four people including a U.S. Navy petty officer.

COLDWATER (WTVB) - With a little more than a month to go before the November election, a write-in candidate has announced he's running for the office of Branch County Sheriff. Bill Heffner of Quincy, a part time deputy assigned to Quincy Schools and the Village of Quincy, said he filed his declaration of intent with the County Clerk's office on Monday to make his candidacy official. Heffner hopes to find enough support to defeat Republican candidate Sheriff's Department Sgt. John Pollack and Democrat Johnny Lopez of Quincy, right now a deputy with the Eaton County Sheriff's Department. Current Branch County Sheriff Warren Canon is retiring after four decades with the department, including the last 12 years as Sheriff.
Heffner says with 35 years of law enforcement experience, he will be a Sheriff that is approachable, fosters positivity within all areas of public safety and by all means, be an advocate for justice.

World Wetlands Day 2001: Australia
WWD events in northern Australia
Hi Dwight, Just a quick note to let you know we'll be promoting World Wetlands Day through local media, and hosting a World Wetlands Day morning tea at the ERISS laboratories in Jabiru. This modest contribution to WWD festivities will be attended by our research staff and the 'Kakadu in the Wet' tour group, who are currently touring Kakadu National Park in the company of an expert field naturalist.
This has become an annual event for the 'Kakadu in the Wet' tour group, which includes people from all walks of life (doctors, lawyers, teachers, retirees, etc) who share a keen interest in environmental issues. It is an opportunity for them to learn about tropical wetlands, and to talk to researchers involved in the Wetland Ecology and Conservation, and Environmental Impact of Mining programs at ERISS.
We're armed with plenty of Ramsar fact sheets and stickers from the Ramsar Bureau, so it should be great fun. As Kakadu is a World Heritage-listed area and a Ramsar site, it is a great location for WWD celebrations, and we are currently in the middle of the wet season here - the perfect time to promote the theme 'Wetland World - A world to discover!'
Over the next few months we also plan to host public seminars on the 2001 theme, bringing in charismatic naturalists, ecologists and other researchers to talk about various aspects of tropical wetlands. These will be held in Darwin, northern Australia, and hosted by the National Centre for Tropical Wetland Research, in collaboration with other local agencies.

Its 2012 ... time to make those New Year's resolutions ... but is it easy making a common resolution like going to the gym more often with the high cost of memberships?
While some people prefer to work out at home to save some money ... most would rather spend that extra dollar to have a place to go to that will motivate them.
"I would rather go to the gym and work out because it's more of a motivation thing. I like being surrounded by people and working out, as opposed to being by myself at home working out."
To save a little more when going to the gym, shop around for prices and deals. A different location or special sign-up offer could make a huge monthly difference.
Gyms also have different levels of membership at different costs. Get the plan that suits your work out style best.
Another way to save is by committing to a full year instead of paying month to month ... and ask your employer if they have discounts with gyms in the area or if they offer reimbursement.
If you are looking to save even more money and have the self-motivation, working out at home or outside is your best bet.
Bankrate.com went out on the streets of New York City to see what you would rather ... and why.
('Would you rather work out at home or at a gym?') "At a gym, basically, because I'm more motivated when I go to the gym."
"I would totally work out in a gym because there's motivation the music is playing, you see other people working out."
"I usually work out at home." "It's a little biter more convenient."
"I would go to the gym because I'd get a personal trainer and more motivation."
If you're still on the fence ... try getting a trial membership or guest pass. It's a great way to experience the pros and cons of a gym ... without the full commitment. For Bankrate.com, I'm Theresa Heintz.

Quick Tip: Keep the Oven Door Closed!
It really is so very very tempting to keep opening the oven door to check how a dish is coming along, isn't it? Unfortunately, this is one lesson we've definitely learned the hard way...
For the longest time we'd check the temperature on a roast by opening the oven door, sticking the thermometer in, and waiting...waiting...for the internal temperature to appear. All while leaving the oven door open. And we wondered why the roast was taking so long to cook!
Shirley O. Corriher, in her recently published book Bakewise, says that the oven temperature can drop 150° or more if the oven door is left open just thirty seconds! The oven can then take several minutes to come back up to full temperature.
So if your dish is almost done cooking and you're checking it for doneness every few minutes, this means that the oven never has a chance to recover. No wonder it sometimes seems like a dish is taking forever to finish cooking, right?
Sigh... Live and learn...
P.S. We'll be doing a full review of Shirley O. Corriher's book soon! You can also order your own copy for $26.40 from Amazon.

This is why most oven have a window... ;)
What great advice. I actually looked at that book as a holiday present for my husband but we both passed with the insistence of not substituting ingredients in the recipes. With food allergies and a love of whole food ingredients we would need substitute. I still love Cookwise, but am not as keen on Bakewise.
I bought the book a couple of weeks ago and have only had the chance to browse it but this also made a deep impression on me!
This and adding boiling water to a pan in the oven when baking stuff that needs to rise.
And I agree, I prefer cookwise to bakewise but then again, I haven't spent much time with basewise.
To me, Bakewise feels kind of like a publisher's assignment whereas cookwise feels passionate.
Now I REALLY wish my half-size oven had a window.
I'm glad my new oven has an internal temperature probe. I just set it to the desired temperature and the oven switches to "warm" once temperature is reached.

If one's reasoning is not based on love, one is more likely to make wrong choices than right ones.
We've got the best of us, we've got the worst of us; and we've got everything in-between.
I have not seen any human society that sees love as a vice. There have been debates about who should be the first object or subject of our love; and we argue about priorities and preferences about love; some hold on to ancient wisdom, some would think wisdom is as new as fancy gadgets.
Love is desirable; we seek it and give it, and we proclaim it without shame.
If no voice is strong enough to smother the glory of love, could we be right to say that love is the ultimate guide?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 27 2012: Feyisayo, Personally, I do not believe that love is the ultimate guide to make the right choices...I wish it was...as it is easy to make choices governed by love.
Right choices are usually justified by reasoning based on righteousness/doing the right thing...which is comparatively difficult to practice in our daily lives.
Nov 28 2012: "'Not so many people would go the extra mile when it becomes inconvenient"
Feyisayo, based on love, people will go the extra mile even if it is inconvenient ..love overrules inconvenience and it becomes the initiative.
However, my reasoning was regarding the right and wrong choices. When we judge our actions (right/wrong choice), do we stop and ask ourselves 'is it based on love?' or 'is this the right thing to do?'
Dec 1 2012: Yes, and how about loving that opportunity? Whether something is a "convenience" or "inconvenience" is a perception....is it not? I embrace the idea of doing what I love, or love what I'm doing. I do not feel that I ever make sacrifices to keep a committment. I LOVE the process of "being" human, and giving/receiving in relationships is part of the human life process.
Dec 1 2012: True Feyisayo,
So the idea of convenience/inconvenience comes from expectations? How we think/feel things "should" be? So, if we change our perception of how things "should" be, and let go of our expectations, there really is no such thing as convenience/inconvenience? That feels like unconditional love to me:>)
Dec 1 2012: Dear Colleen,
When we are faced with obstacles/unforeseeable circumstances, sometimes we are faced with two choices- doing what is right, doing what is easy/comfortable. Doing what is right is not easy..the reason why we have many issues of moral concern in our society.
The reply option was not available in your earlier question "Can a decision not be based on love AND the right thing to do?"
Yes , this would be ideal.
Dec 1 2012: I agree Madhavi, that life offers challenges, and sometimes we have more than one choice regarding how to deal with the challenge. Often times, how I look at the circumstance may change my perception. I honestly don't understand why you say that "doing what is right is not easy". How about if we perceive what is "right" as the more comfortable choice? If we change our perception of the challenge we can create the "ideal".....in my humble opinion:>)

Sample Size and Power for Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (Part 2): The Effect of Maximum Willingness to Pay
AbstractSample size and power for cost-effectiveness analysis depend on assumptions about the difference in cost and effect, the standard deviations of cost and effect, the correlation of the difference in cost and effect, the α and β errors and maximum willingness to pay (W). The first seven of these parameters share much in common in their effect on sample size and power for cost-effectiveness analysis, including that each is associated with a single pattern of power. W, on the other hand, is unique in that, when plotted for positive values, we can potentially observe any of six patterns of power associated with positive values of W. In addition, as W approaches ∞, power need be neither monotonically increasing nor decreasing and it can be multimodal. In this article, the relationship between W and sample size and power is explained.

As the Tucson Unified School District deals with budget issues and school closures tonight they want to focus on another hurdle.
The Board will discuss the next steps in the hiring process for a new superintendent. Board members and Superintendent Dr. John Pedicone will meet tonight to discuss starting the hiring process of a new superintendent.
Dr. Pedicone gave his resignation last month and some board members have spoken out saying they do not want Pedicone to leave.
Michael Hicks and Mark Stegeman sent out a letter to Pedicone asking he reconsider his resignation. They are asking Pedicone to not place the district in a tight spot of making a rushed search for a long term leader.
By the end of tonight the Board hopes they will have a game plan. Tucson News Now spoke with Board President Adelita Grijalva, who says they will be going over all their options in the hiring process.
Whether they want a search firm to take care of all the paperwork or have the district take care of that.
The Board also plans on discussing how they want to word the job posting that could go out as early as this week.
The meeting is tonight at 6 p.m. inside TUSD headquarters.

Change comes slowly to Laos, but VANG VIENG, the once-sleepy town that reclines on the east bank of the Nam Song River between towering limestone karsts, is something of a rare exception. Just half a decade ago, the main street was a potholed track, crowds were rare, and accommodation was limited to a handful of guesthouses. Then as thousands of party-hungry backpackers descended on the self-styled "tubing capital of the world", the Lao government found itself struggling to control an inland version of Thailand's Ko Pha Ngan. Today "happy shakes" appear on restaurant menus more often than authentic Lao dishes, and countless bars, internet cafés and market stalls all compete for the backpacker buck.
Despite the tourist droves, Vang Vieng is still jaw-droppingly beautiful, and you could easily spend a week here cycling, cave exploring, tubing, rafting and hiking, or simply relaxing and enjoying the idyllic landscape. There's also no disputing one fact: the place is a lot of fun.
Around Vang Vieng
Around Vang Vieng
The countryside surrounding Vang Vieng is full of enough day-trip options to easily fill up a week. Scores of caves in limestone karst outcrops, tranquil lowland Lao and minority villages, and Kaeng Yui Waterfall, all make worthy destinations for a rewarding day's hike (if walking isn't your thing, you can hire bicycles or motorbikes from various outlets around town), while the Nam Song River makes for a fun afternoon of tubing, kayaking or rafting – tubes can be rented from shops near the post office. Aside from a number of organized tours around Vang Vieng itself, there are also one- to three-day excursions to Ang Nam Ngum Reservoir that can be booked through most guesthouses.
Organized day tours, many of which combine both caving and tubing with lunch in between, are a fast and convenient way for the uninitiated to get into the Vang Vieng groove: once you've done the tour you can go back for more on your own. It's not hard to find a guided tour – just look for signs posted in restaurants and guesthouses. If you do opt to join a tour, be sure to check how many people will be in the group. Some agents have few qualms about stuffing twenty people into a single sawngthaew, which not only spoils a good walk but can seriously hasten the onset of claustrophobia if tramping about several hundred metres underground.
If you decide to visit the caves on your own, it's worth getting hold of one of the hand-drawn maps of the Vang Vieng area which show all the caves and trails; they're available from several of the restaurants and guesthouses in town. Otherwise just ask around; everyone in Vang Vieng has their favourite cave, swimming hole or countryside getaway. The local people are more than happy to point you in the right direction, and other travellers will also enthusiastically recommend the best places. If you're looking to explore areas north or south of town, there's enough local transport in the form of buses and sawngthaews plying Route 13 to get you up and down the highway cheaply. Or, if you prefer something quick and easy, just hire a tuk-tuk (the stand is at the market), which will gladly wait for you for the right price.
Most of Vang Vieng's attractions lie on the west bank of the Nam Song. There's now a permanent toll bridge crossing the river (4000K for pedestrians, 6000K for bikes and 10,000K for motorcycles) or, in the dry season, you can cross using the rickety bamboo bridge towards the north of town. The pirogues down by Thavonsouk Resort will still ferry people across for 5000K. On the other side, Chinese-made tractors trundle along the bumpy paths to nearby villages, acting as makeshift shared taxis that aren't entirely comfortable but are at least faster than walking. You can simply flag them down as you would a bus or tuk-tuk – expect to pay 5000K for journeys of up to 1km, then 2000K for each extra kilometre.
There are several kayaking and rafting companies operating in Vang Vieng. For more strenuous outdoor activities, Green Discovery (t023/511230, whttp://www.greendiscoverylaos.com) has a number of options, including day-trip packages as well as overnight hiking and kayaking excursions. The same company was also behind Laos's first fully operational rock-climbing site, featuring fifty different bolted routes – graded from 5b (tricky) to 8c (very difficult) on the internationally recognized French grading system – in the Vang Vieng area. A day's climbing costs $47 with equipment, a guide and lunch.
Tubing the Nam Song
Tubing the Nam Song
Love or hate what it's done to the place, tubing is Vang Vieng's premier attraction. In fact, for some people, it's the very reason they ended up in Laos. What started as an inventive way to spend a lazy afternoon floating down the Nam Song has rapidly evolved into an all-you-can-drink party on the river, and it's fairly common for people to turn up without tubes and just swim between the first few riverside bars before jumping in a tuk-tuk for the ride back into town. Most of these watering holes lure punters in with free shots of lào-láo and, as if to test your mettle, have built giant rope-swings and slides over the river. Naturally it's a lot of fun, but be careful – people have died here.
If you decide to go for the authentic tubing experience, tubes are available from shops near the post office for around $14 per day (including a $7 deposit, refundable if you return the tube before 6pm). This includes a tuk-tuk ride upriver to the main launching point, 3km north of town near the Organic Mulberry Farm. A float back into town should take two hours from here, but you could easily spend the whole day dancing, drinking and playing mud volleyball at the bars along the way. It's important to leave enough time to get back before dark however, as it gets cold and it becomes almost impossible to see where you're going in the fast-flowing water. If you're a weak swimmer, wear a life jacket while tubing – the shops supplying the inner tubes should provide them. A good sunblock is also essential if you don't want to come out looking like a lobster; the tropical sun is powerful, even on overcast days.
Dress for success in Vang Vieng
Dress for success in Vang Vieng
The varied terrain surrounding Vang Vieng can turn treacherous in a hurry, particularly during the rainy season. Exercise caution while wandering through caves and scrambling about on the steep slopes of the karst formations, as serious injuries incurred by foolhardy travellers while tramping about in the area are common. Slippery trails demand that proper shoes be worn – Teva-style sandals with good traction are the best for conquering Vang Vieng's alternately rocky and muddy trails. Bermuda-type shorts are also a good sartorial choice as you may end up knee-deep in water at some point if you intend to enjoy the countryside to the fullest. A re-sealable plastic bag for valuables such as money and your passport is an excellent idea. Do not leave your valuables with local kids or teenagers, who may offer to "look after them for you" while you explore a cave, and make sure you get back to town before dark – robberies have been reported.
Finally, while it may be tempting to wander around in your swimming gear (and it's very common to see travellers walking around town half-naked), always remember that in Laos gratuitous displays of flesh are considered a form of rudeness and disrespect.

How does it feel to live in a "flyover state"?
Some people say life in the U.S. is most exciting on the coasts, East Coast and West Coast, and they jokingly call the other states "the flyover states," meaning they're not too exciting and you just fly over them as you go back and forth between the coasts. For those of you living in "the flyover states," is this a fair characterization? How does it feel to live there? For people on the coasts, is your life more exciting?
For people in other countries, is there a similar division, that life is considered most exciting on the coasts?
I live right on the edge of Los Angeles, and I'm kind of torn. Part of me thinks it's pretty exciting to live anywhere. Another part just loves L.A., feels like it's the only interesting place to live on Earth.

edward long 100+Jan 31 2013: Not serious and can't believe the question is! Isn't there something inherently arrogant about the question? I guess if you want a serious answer I will say it feels really good to no longer live in soon-to-be-bankrupt California. And New York is having a long run of bad luck which I feel pretty good about not being a part of. All those bi-costal sophisticates are just streaks in my beautiful Arizona sky. Now I'm serious.
Feb 1 2013: Sorry, Edward, I didn't mean it to be arrogant, I tried to convey in the headline and text that some people say this but I didn't know if it was deserved. After I posed the question, I realized that another name for inland states is the "heartland," which is quite flattering. Do you think the woes of California and New York have anything to do with being coastal, or is it something else?
If you're making a point that Arizona and its skies are more beautiful because less cluttered and congested, that's a beautiful thought I hadn't considered.
Although you were joking, I really wonder if there is something more evolved about the inland places and people? After all, if we first crawled from the oceans and then moved along inland, the people inland would have the longest history on the land.
edward long 100+Feb 1 2013: I don't know if you tend toward arrogance and I did not mean to imply you do. It is the question I question. I believe species change over time but I do not, for one second, embrace Darwinism as science. So the idea of gauging development by distance from the ocean was strictly tongue-in-cheek. I think East coast folks are excessively proud of their domain as illustrated by Thomas Dewey who said,"If you are outside of New York City you are camping!" They tend to believe they have a corner on all that is good in America. Now, folks in the Land of Fruits and Nuts, particularly L.A. tend to be pretty sure they have a corner on all the latest and greatest trends, in fact they believe they set all the trends. Very often coastal dwellers are different. . . than everyone.

TUESDAY, Sept. 21 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. Food and Drug
Administration advisers continued two days of hearings Tuesday on
whether to recommend approval of genetically modified salmon for
humans to eat.
If the advisers recommend approval, it would mark the first time
a genetically modified animal has been approved for America's
dinner plates and restaurant menus. Currently, genetically modified
soybeans and corn are being sold for people to eat.
The developer of the genetically modified salmon, Waltham,
Mass.-based AquaBounty Technologies, believes that, if approved,
the fish could help reduce pollution, disease and other problems
associated with saltwater fish farms, as well as provide an
alternative source of seafood to help reduce the impact of
But opponents of approval, including many consumer advocates,
worry that the fish would pose a threat to both the health of
consumers and the environment.
While the FDA isn't compelled to follow the recommendations of
its advisory panels, it usually does so.
On Sept. 3, a scientific panel of experts that advises the FDA
paved the way for the approval of the genetically modified salmon,
calling it "as safe as food from conventional Atlantic salmon."
The FDA's Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee went on to say
that the fish -- AquAdvantage Salmon developed by AquaBounty
Technologies -- contained the same amount of nutrients and had "no
biologically relevant differences" from ordinary farmed Atlantic
That's what worries consumer advocates, who say approving the
salmon is opening the door to all sorts of genetically engineered
animals, such as pigs and other mammals.
The FDA is regulating genetically engineered animals as it would
a new veterinary drug, which means that much of the research and
information about the product is being kept confidential, said
Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch in
Washington, D.C.
"We don't know if it's safe for humans to eat and the only research that has been done was done by the company," according to Hauter. "The FDA is an under-resourced agency that has had so much trouble with the regulatory system for foods -- we've had tainted eggs, poisonous peanuts and other contaminations -- and is now taking on something in a very non-transparent way."
Recently, Food & Water Watch was joined by 30 other animal
welfare, consumer, environmental and fisheries groups, including
the Sierra Club, which issued a statement citing concerns that the
fish could escape and pose an environmental threat. Previously,
another group of consumer advocates and others warned that
"transgenic fish" could introduce new or unknown allergens into the
food supply.
AquaBounty creates its salmon by taking a growth gene from the
Chinook salmon and a gene "promoter" from the ocean pout, another
type of fish, said John Buchanan, AquaBounty's director of research
and development. The pout gene promoter simply turns on the Chinook
salmon growth gene, and is not actually "expressed" [active] in the
modified fish. The resulting salmon grow to market weight about
twice as fast as ordinary Atlantic salmon, though they don't get
larger overall.
While it typically takes about three years for salmon to grow to
market weight, AquaBounty's salmon get there in about 18 months,
Buchanan said.
To safeguard the environment, Buchanan said the eggs will be
treated so that all fish that grow from them will be sterile
females. That means they will not be able to reproduce, nor will
they come into contact with males to reproduce with, said Buchanan,
whose firm would sell the treated eggs.
While farm-raised salmon are typically grown in ocean-based
tanks, the genetically modified fish would be grown in land-based
tanks, also minimizing the chances of escape, he said.
"We have done a tremendous amount of work geared toward regulatory approval to show that the fish is healthy and safe," Buchanan said.
Genetically modified animals have been produced since the 1970s,
according to background information in the FDA's briefing
materials, but none have been approved for human consumption.
AquaBounty said bringing the salmon to market would take at
least 18 months after approval. Farmers who want to grow the fish
would also need FDA approval of their facilities.
One question for consumers is whether packaging would be
required to specify that the salmon is genetically modified. The
FDA will consider that issue during the public hearings.

The tension between the Houston Rockets and first round pick Royce White has escalated to the level of suspension. White has yet to play for the Rockets this season, and was assigned to Houston's D-League affiliate but refused to play there. As a result the Rockets have slapped White with a suspension without pay.
White, who suffers from anxiety and has been forced to publicly battled his mental illness, flew with the team to Detroit at the beginning of the season and traveled by bus to games in Memphis and Atlanta before abruptly halting his participation in team activities. White suffers from a debilitating fear of flying, among other anxiety issues, and refuses to fly on the team plane.
The Rockets need to be seriously commended for their patience with White. This doesn't seem to be the normal case of a player holdout, as White isn't seeking more money, he's seeking piece of mind and mental rest.
Houston's general manager Daryl Morey said that despite the tension, the Rockets will continue to work with White to find a resolution to their issue.
White said when he stopped participating in team activities, that his mental health took precedence over his basketball life. This was projected as a possible problem that could arise when White entered the NBA Draft, and teams were aware that if drafted, he could become a difficult case. Houston not only took a chance on him, but they're sticking with him in trying to find a solution that lands White on the Rockets roster and on the hardwood.
The question is: how long can Houston's patience last?
