I know it's only half-way through January, but in our house it's already time to start prepping for Valentine's Day. Between the two older kids, I've got sixty-five valentines to make, so I like to get an early start. While I realize it would only take a ten-minute trip to Walgreens to buy valentines for our kids' classes, I can't bring myself to do it. I'm just not the buy-your-valentines type of mom. I've made them each year since preschool and I'm not about to give in now. No offense to those who do buy; this is just how I roll.
This morning's circus (a.k.a, the getting-to-school-on-time routine) was too crazy to even consider cleaning up breakfast beforehand, so after returning home from dropping everyone off, I started in on clearing up the mess. Just as I was about to drop the empty cereal box into the recycling bin, I had an epiphany: Hey, why not make our valentines out of this? It saves money, time (in driving to the store to buy card stock), and extends the life of something that would have been recycled. Kind of like a valentine for the planet, too.

"These emails show that Apple and the FDA have discussed the App Store review process, the 510(k) process, ResearchKit apps, diagnostic apps, working with the FDA in an 'unregulated' way and more. The FDA even invited Apple to participate in regular briefings designed to help guide an international effort to harmonize medical software regulation," Comstock reports. "Though much of the sensitive information is redacted, the emails also point to three regulated medical devices that Apple is seriously pursuing: an app for diagnosing Parkinson's disease and two separate but related cardiac devices. Finally, the emails also suggest that, after Apple received a good deal of press for its 2013 FDA meeting, the agency worked with Apple to keep future meetings under the radar."
Comstock reports, "Apple's plans for two cardiac devices and a Parkinson's diagnostic app are a glimpse at what's next for the company's steady move into the medical world."

Next month, Jay Howell is having a solo show of 25 new works on paper at FFDG in San Francisco ("Enthusiastic Person", opening February 1st, 6-9pm). Always excited to see what this guy is cooking up. Every new series he does seems to improve on the last without abandoning the sense of freedom and experimentation that makes his work so appealing. This will be Howell's third solo exhibition with the gallery, and if you're in the area, I definitely encourage you to check it out. Click past the jump to see more new character-filled work, and keep a look out for the artist's upcoming animated series with Nickelodeon, "Sanjay and Craig".

Jay Howell- The Ultimate Dude
Where to start with Jay Howell? The legendary laidbacksman and zinester, recently relocated to Los Angeles by way of San Francisco, seems to have taken good vibes to every corner of every creative cul de sac. Howell, who participated in the group show "Supply and Demand" at Brooklyn's House of Vans early this fall, works his quirky, character-driven vision onto all available formats. His trademark dudes, rockers, and big-breasted babes have graced gallery walls, skate decks, apparel, original cartoons, original "nickelodeon cartoons", album covers (he has serious ties to the musical community), and public spaces. Sometimes it feels like he has a message, but then you kind of wonder whether it's really reflected in his work or not. And then you're just like, dude, who cares?

Greetings True Christians (and heathen scum)!
Tonight, I was searching amongst the internet and came across a page about ungodly people called "otherkins." These deluded, Satanic heathens actually believe that they have the soul of another type of living being such as a dog, cat, or wolf. That is, of course, stupid, and these people are going straight to Hell. However, we need to address this ungodly trend so that our children are not drawn into Satan's web by these deviant people!
Did you know that the otherkins believe that bestialiaty and man-on-dog are ok things to do? That is one of the new "freedoms" that Barack and the Anti-Christian Lawyers Union want to bring to America! The right to have sexual relationships with animals and members of the same sex! Even now, members of the otherkin lobby for Congress are trying to get states to legalize marriage between humans and animals. That's not just ungodly, that's unbiblical! Rick Santorum knows what to do about man-on-dog! Rick Santorum would ban it!
My brothers and sisters in Jesus, these "otherkins" are very dangerous and very disturbed. One particular individual known on the internet as Tumbles the Stairdragon went to a party with other "otherkins." He became emotionally disturbed when Satan entered into him, and tried to commit suicide with a plastic sunglass lens. When the lens did no harm, Satan threw him down a flight of stairs, spawning his name. Many otherkins now view Tumbles the Stairdragon as a hero and leader. Instead, they should be worshipping Jesus! Tumbles and the Otherkins are going straight to Hell!
How should we deal with these otherkins? If they believe that they have the souls of animals, then they should be able to survive like animals. If they believe they have souls of wolves, send them to Yellowstone with no clothes and no supplies to live like wolves. If they believe they have the souls of dogs or cats, lock them in cages for humans (prison) and see if they thrive. If they believe they have the souls of monkeys, let's put them in the zoo! These deviant individuals are ungodly and sinful, and need to be weeded out of normal society. They are agents of Satan and will lead our children away from Christ if we let them! We must not let them!
Tumbles the Stairdragon and his otherkin friends are coming for your souls! Do you want to let them lead you to Hell, or will you take a stand for Jesus? We must defeat the otherkins for Jesus! We must take back America for Christ!
Vote Rick Santorum, God's choice for president in 2016!
Yours in Christ,
Jim Solouki

The weeks that got away
I seem to have hit the side-effects jackpot with the neurologist's most recent medication substitution. How else explain, this fog in which I have been immersed and from which I am slowly emerging, now that I've stopped those little white pills at bedtime. After 20 years on one drug, we thought to give the latest, greatest migraine preventive a try.
Wrong move. The effects of this particular molecular combination didn't do anything for me, and seem to have done their share of things against me. It's hard to write when your brain is so slick with drugs, everything you know slides away. That's where the weeks went -- far, far away. I've been so far under the influence, I couldn't see over it.
Note to self: any drug that doesn't have a generic equivalent is overpriced and undertested. FDA approval equals better than a sugar pill, safer than arsenic. That's all. Nothing to do with actual success rate or whether drug works better than its predecessor, against which it will never compete side-by-side in a laboratory. The FDA's main conclusion seems to be, well, we don't think it will hurt you.
Help you? That's not on the FDA menu. Help you is a happy accident, completely unforeseen in any stage of clinical trials, at least where I am concerned. The last great leap forward in pharmaceuticals that are designed to fix what ails me came about 20 years ago, when Prozac rolled off the assembly line and into solid brown bottles by the 100. Penicillin was a wonder drug in its day, too.
How many years will I wait for the next one?

Leonard Cohen - 1934 to 2016, may he rest in the hall of his fathers. This was on my list to review before the 2nd of December when all submissions for the blog must be in for consideration in our album of the year list, sadly the news of his passing has made this a memorial review. I am not the best for this, as I do not want to seem like I am jumping on the artist passing for glory. So, I started this review the day after he past, but I will not be posting till later; I have seen other blogs do that and it has never been something I understood. Anyway, back to the album; 'You Want It Darker' is the fourteenth studio album from Canadian Singer/Songwriter Leonard Cohen, it was released 21st October 2016 and was released to great acclaim. Leonard Cohen is a songwriter's muse, he has inspired artists such as Nick Cave, been mentioned in songs by Nirvana, Marillion and Mercury Rev; his poetry has been published and he was still touring until 2013 with his music. In the press before his passing, he was making comments that his time might be short and it was something that he knew was coming. But he was always a man for imagery (it is hard to talk about Leonard Cohen in the past tense, it does not make sense yet), he would make the mind come alive with such imagery that it would colour your dreams. My first introduction was via the film 'Natural Born Killers' when three songs 'Waiting for A Miracle', 'Anthem' and 'The Future' were used on the film; these were taken from the album 'The Future' which is a beautiful album. Another of my favourite works is 'New Skin for The Old Ceremony' which contains the song 'Chelsea Hotel', another beautiful song which has helped in dark time. This album was produced by Leonard Cohen's son, Adam Cohen and the thank you section of the album goes into detail about how Adam helped his dad finishes these songs, when he was not sure that he would be able to complete his work. It sounds like he was fulfilling his father's final wishes, making it possible for these songs to be finished and unveiled to the world. Now, it is time for me to put down my rose-tinted glasses and look at the songs in detail.
01 - You Want It Darker
This song sounds a lot like 'Waiting for The Miracle', it is a steady pace and the sound is given this gentle drone and beautiful backing vocals. Mr Cohen voice is fragile on this recording, akin to the final Johnny Cash recordings; there is spirit on display and there is also age to the vocals, mixed with the words. Now, the words, oh my deity those words are beautiful. Telling his God that he is ready to move on, he is wanting to end this pain in his bones in one breath. But he is also taking God to task on here, questioning his absence at times of great struggle (the holocaust is brought up). He sings Hineni, Hineni, Hebrew for I am Here, I am Here. Even in the last days of his life, he was still able to give a such power in a very minimalist way to these words, it is a power which I will miss and this album starts on a powerful note.
02 - Treaty
This song is about two loves which cannot find a common ground, the people (or maybe a relationship between a person & God) are in love with each other and it builds to the frustration behind the words. It is a beautiful and gentle number, with Mr Cohen claiming he was real and the other person was turned into a ghost. You can hear the desire to reach out for forgiveness and a reunion of sorts, lamenting the fact that forgiveness and reconciliation might never be achieved. The religious imagery on this song is as strong as ever, the vocals are low and still full of passion, but with frailty; it is another beautiful number that will help people through those long nights.
03 - On the Level
Co-Wrote with long-time collaborator Sharon Robinson, this song is about how things can be both positive and negative; the angel & the devil can be the same person and you are wanting to change and the only way is out of the door. It is mid-paced number, once again it has a lot of reflection on the past and it is a good song. But it is surrounded by some top-quality gems on this album, so it one that I appreciate more than love.
04 - Leaving the Table
This song is a beautiful resignation speech, the person is packing up shop and moving on as the spirit cannot fight anymore. The ending is in sight and the tables are being cleaned up, it will no doubt be more read into this after his passing (akin to how 'Blackstar' by David Bowie has been seen since his passing). Maybe death was on his mind, but I think that he was just saying that his anger to certain things was passed and it was time to put those feeling to rest. It is such a gentle song; a sadness hangs in the air and it sound fantastic.
05 - If I Don't Have Your Love
A slow country ballad about not have love and how the world would be over without that love in your life, it is a tried and tested number, one that has been done before and will be done again. Leonard Cohen's vocals are raspy on this song, the lower notes are breathy and it sounds so beautiful. It is a simple song, one which will have people holding each other closer, or being a companion on those long, dark nights of soul searching.
06 - Traveling Light
The theme of saying goodbye continues on 'Traveling Light' which has a Jewish feeling to the music as the classic guitar sounding haunting as the minimal backing music is once again a backdrop for that glorious voice and his captivating voice. Looking back at his past and almost reverting to those days by not having as much material possessions around, this is the song of a man who is yearning for the road once more and is ready for a journey.
Starting with the vocals of the Montreal's Synagogue Choir, 'It Seemed the Better Way' is a song which seems to be dealing with the time that Leonard Cohen was a monk during the 1990's and his relationship with his Zen Master Kyozan Joshu Sasaki (aka Roshi) and how his time at the monastery was one that he looked back on with mixed feelings. There are allegations of sexual harassment against Kyozan Joshu Sasaki and it might have influenced the song. It is a song that is tainted with sadness and regret, hinting at something darker underneath the lyrics.
08 - Steer Your Way
First published as a poem in the New Yorker magazine in June 2016, 'Steer Your Way' is a song about giving up material possessions and moving towards a simpler, more rewarding life of self-fulfilment and enlightenment. This song is once again a simple affair, the focus is on the words and the vocals which sound strong and full of passion on this number. It is another beautiful song, one which will gain momentum faster now that Mr Cohen has passed on.
09 - Sting Reprise/Treaty
Ending the album is a reprise of 'Treaty' which starts with just strings and it sounds emotional, the raw passion that is on show here is hard to listen to, but the music is so good and the ending with a repeat of a verse from 'Treaty' is just a reminder of that song and the sentiment of wanting forgiveness and to re-establish a connection; a fitting ending to this record.
I do not think that this was an intentional goodbye, but it is an album by a man who knew that his time on this earth was running low. Much like 'American IV: The Man Comes Around' by Johnny Cash, you are hearing a man give a performance that is spellbinding, captivating and beautiful. The production by Adam Cohen is subtle and respectful, but without sounding safe or too respectful. The music is just a backdrop for that wonderful voice and those tales of love and loss. From all of us at ATTIWLTMOWOS - rest well Mr Cohen, the world is darker without you around.
8 out of ten - Oh, now you have my attention and maybe my time, money and heart

|First appearance
|Flight 1
|Final appearance
|The Inheritance
|Judy Campbell
| Dorothy Campbell (Mother)
Andrew Campbell (Father)
|Pete Campbell
Bud Campbell is Pete Campbell's brother.
Mentioned in Season 1, Pete reveals that sometime during the summer of 1959, Bud apparently "hit a girl on her bike in Montauk" and required his father's legal assistance. Bud is not seen until season two, however, when Pete learns that patriarch Andrew Campbell died in the American Airlines Flight 1 crash, and heads to his parent's place. Upon arriving, Bud informs Pete that their father was insolvent and that their mother's trust has substantial liens against it. ("Flight 1")
Bud and Pete examine documents that reveal how thoroughly their father squandered their inheritance. Pete wonders how long his mother, Dorothy Campbell, can afford to live before joking about Hitchcock's film Rope. Discussing the idea of continuing the Campbell name, Bud remarks that he and his wife Judy have no plans for children. Pete confides that he and Trudy are considering adoption.
Pete later visits his mother, who threatens to disinherit him if he adopts a child, repeating his father's description of adoption as "pulling from the discards." Pete retorts that her "husband spent everything you had. Spent it with strangers," forcing Bud to come clean about their mother's financial state. ("The Inheritance")

Informatics Research Seminar: Environment-hosts pathogen transfer quantification: An agent-based queuing theoretic framework
January 25, 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm UTC+0
Speaker: Shi Chen, PhD
Presented from UNC-C
Broadcast Link: SEMINAR
The Informatics Research Seminar Series is sponsored by Duke University and a collaboration with UNC-Chapel Hill, NCCU, UNC-Charlotte, and ECU. This series explores key areas in Health Informatics and include research results, overview of programs of research, basic, applied, and evaluative projects, as well as research from varied epistemological stances.
Queuing theory studies the properties of waiting queues and has been applied to investigate direct host-to-host transmitted disease dynamics, but its potential in modeling environmentally transmitted pathogens has not been explored. In this study, a queuing theory modeling framework is used to study the in-hospital contact process between environments and hosts and potential nosocomial pathogen transfer, where environments are servers, and hosts are customers. Two types of queues (short and long, with the same server utilization) are investigated. Various forms of transfer functions are considered that map contact duration to the amount of pathogen transfer based on existing literatures (assuming constant pathogen amount). A case study is presented of real in-hospital contact process and numerical simulations for the stochastic queues to analyze the amount of pathogen transfer under the eight different transfer functions. This study highlights the importance of the interactions among contact process (between host and environment), transfer functions that map pathogen transfer quantity, and pathogen demography during the contact process. The modeling framework can be readily extended to more complicated queuing networks by adjusting number/types of servers and customers.
Shi Chen, PhD, is an assistant professor of health informatics at Department of Public Health Sciences, University of North Carolina Charlotte. Dr. Chen received a dual-title degree of Entomology and Operations Research from Penn State University, and completed a five-year postdoc training in epidemiology. Dr. Chen's research and teaching interests include data analysis and modeling of infectious disease dynamics, health informatics, complex human-environment interactions, etc.

Eat Cheese, Lose Weight!
Craving a chunk of Brie, a full-fat latte or a pot of creamy yoghurt, but worried about gaining weight?
Stop worrying and go right ahead and enjoy.
Chances are you'll not only love the taste, but these dairy products also might help you lose weight.
Mireille Guiliano, the author of French Women Don't Get Fat, a worldwide bestseller that reminded people to eat smaller amounts, ban yo-yo dieting and spoil themselves in moderation, is in Australia to help bust the common perception that dairy food is linked to weight gain.
"Australians are blessed with some magnificent produce like cheese and yoghurt that rivals some of the best in the world," she says.
"There is no reason why you cannot enjoy this as part of a healthy lifestyle."
The 67-year-old, who lives in New York but still eats like a French woman, is visiting Australia to judge the Grand Dairy Awards. And she has devised a light-hearted "manifesto" to help Australian women lighten up.
In her 2005 book, Guiliano writes about yoghurt as a secret to tame hunger, stating that French women often have two servings a day to help them feel fuller for longer.
"I am an avid eater of dairy products," she says. "You know, milk, cheese and yoghurt are delicious and good for your health.
"The protein keeps you feeling full for longer and the calcium may reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs. I couldn't imagine my life without them."
Guiliano opts for full-fat milk and yoghurt, saying they don't cause weight gain if consumed in moderation.
"I like to go for the full-fat milk, which is a very French thing, as long as you have it in moderation.
"I make my own yoghurt and ricotta and I use regular milk.
"It's not like we drink three gallons a day, so go for the real thing - it's very good for you."
Guiliano, the former CEO of the champagne company Veuve Clicquot, became fascinated with weight gain after she visited the US as a teenage exchange student and gained 10 kilograms.
She lived with a family who ate highly processed food, plenty of brownies and tubs of ice-cream.
Upon returning to France, Guiliano's father remarked that she looked like a "sack of potatoes", prompting her to visit her GP for weight-loss advice.
The doctor simply reminded her to eat smaller amounts, walk more, cook her own food and drink more water.
Guiliano has been following his advice ever since - and yes, she continues to cut a svelte figure.
- Start every day with a real breakfast.
- Introduce two servings of natural yoghurt as a breakfast, snack food or dessert: the protein will keep you fuller for longer.
- Enjoy milk, cheese or yoghurt every day. It's a mistake to avoid these foods because you think they are fattening. Eating them as part of a balanced diet is not linked to weight gain.
- Stop dieting.
- Take the stairs and laugh more: it's good for the waistline and for the soul.
- Never let yourself get too hungry or over eat.
- Good food isn't pretentious. Don't take yourself too seriously, and don't let recipes intimidate you. They're a guide not a formula.
- Cooking is slimming. Love is slimming. Happiness is slimming.
- Eat smaller amounts of more things, rather than bigger amounts of fewer things.
- Australians love their coffee, so take pleasure in the ritual of your morning latte or cappuccino.
- Choose and enjoy your weekend rewards (such as your favourite dark chocolate) rather than worrying about eating bad food.
- Explore Australia's great outdoors with regular physical movement. Choose things you can do in street clothes, such as a daily walk or a leisurely bike ride.
- Avoid anything that demands too much effort for too little pleasure.
- Eat and serve what's in season. With the Australian summer in sight, enjoy plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Don't save champagne for special occasions: being in good company is reason enough.

What is meant by good nutrition? Gayelord Hauser, America's famed Diet and Health specialist, answers as follows: "First, it is adequate nutrition, giving the individual cells of the body not only the quantity but also the quality of nourishment they require. Second, balanced nutrition, supplying the body cells with vital nutrients in the proper proportion. As a simplified illustration, think of your body as a motor car. It is made of protein, inside and out. Arteries, glands, colon, connective tissue; muscles, skin, bones, hair, teeth, eyes: all contain protein and are maintained and rebuilt with protein. Fats and carbohydrates are your body's oil and gasoline, they are burned together to produce energy. Vitamins and minerals are its spark plugs, essential to the utilization of food and its assimilation into the blood stream. It is a marvelously sturdy motor car, this body of yours - marvelous in its ability to maintain and rebuild itself. Given care, consideration, and respect, it will function smoothly. Neglected or abused and it will break down. Scientists are unanimous in agreeing that over-nutrition, through excess calories stored as fat, can contribute materially to physical deterioration. "
The army trains men to be winners. Winners in combat and winners in any competitive activity. If the pistol competitor falters, his energy exhausted, it must not be because of a diet deficient in essential nutrients.
Proper nutrition will assure strength and endurance to perform your job well. Your job is to shoot championship scores in every match fired all day long, not just the first match or two of the day.
The expert marksman must feel well and be energetic to shoot well. No stone can be left unturned in today's level of competition that will provide that important "edge" that may be the narrow margin of victory.
Good nutrition is based on a diet that includes all the essential nutrients. These nutrients are found in a wide range of foods.
The essential nutrients are Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates, and protective ingredients or Vitamins.
1. Proteins are the body's building blocks. As the house builder uses various building materials to construct a house, proteins build and replace the body's tissue of muscle, nerves, tendons and all of the vital organs, etc. This is done in the form of amino acids. For instance, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract is renewed every three days.
2. The protein built body must have fuel to consume as it moves about and also take care of the energy demands of the vital body functions. The body maintains a reserve of energy by converting fats to glucose and storing it in the liver.
Fats and fatty acids are the long range source of energy. The fat in the diet provides the full gas tank reserve for endurance. Part of the fatty acids are converted to easily digested sugar forms that are stored in the liver. The fatty acids that are not held in reserve in the liver provide for part of the present energy needs of the body or they are deposited in and about the muscular system. The complete absence of fat in the diet means slow starvation even if the other nutrients are ample.
3. There is another source of energy but a smaller portion of the amount eaten goes into the ready reserve.
Carbohydrates are the high octane energy source. Compare fats and carbohydrates to the relative combustion qualities of oil and gasoline respectively. Both will burn but gasoline is ignited easier and burns quicker. Starches and basic sugars are converted into a more readily useable glucose at a relatively faster rate than fats. In this form, they are absorbed by the blood system and supplied to the muscular tissue to furnish needed energy.
For example: Alcohol, a starch food, can pass through the entire gastrointestinal tract without being altered in any way and yet be absorbed readily. There is no question about the energetic effect it has on some people.
4. Vitamins aid the breakdown of nutrients into usable forms. Protective ingredients or vitamins are not considered to be a food but they are essential to proper nutrition. Vitamins are a means of triggering the chemical reactions that convert the essential nutrients into useable forms in the digestive process. For example, the automobile carburetor converts gasoline from a liquid into a more usable form of a vapor of gasoline molecules mixed with a large proportion of air.
The pistol shooter can be assured of receiving the important elements of nutrition in his diet if certain representative foods of each type are known to him.
1. There are three foods that are the main source of protein in the diet.
Proteins are mainly supplied by eggs, meat and milk. A shooter of 140 pounds should consume 100-120 grams of protein in his daily diet. Approximately one half should come from the animal source foods; eggs, meat and milk. The remaining amount can be obtained from the usual sources of bread and vegetables.
2. The same basic foods provide a source for another essential nutrient, fat.
Fats or fatty acids are obtained from animal fats and vegetable oils. The average shooter consumes too much fat. While in training, a 140 pound man should consume 70 to 90 grams of fat tally. Half of this amount should come from animal sources such as eggs, meat and milk. The remainder should come from vegetable oil sources such as peanuts, corn, soya and olives. Moderation in the use of fats is especially beneficial to the digestive process.
3. There are two main sources of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates in the form of starches and sugar are contained in nearly all foods. It is important to give preference to such starch and sugar sources such as dark bread, fresh fruit, unpolished rice, milk, oatmeal, fresh vegetables and potatoes with the jackets on, because of the high content of protective ingredients or vitamins. Stay away from that enormous birthday cake with its gleaming white icing!
1. Protective ingredients or vitamins are found in most foods. In addition the human body manufactures some vitamins but usually in amounts too small to meet its needs. Some vitamins cannot be stored in the body and must be replenished daily. Vitamin pills which contain a minimum adult requirement of most identifiable vitamins should be taken only on the advice of a doctor. Your diet may be furnishing all the vitamins you need.
2. The best source of vitamins are foods in which they are naturally present. Of special importance to the shooter are the following vitamins and sources:
a. Vitamin A; is found in carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, milk, liver, egg yolk and green and yellow vegetables. This vitamin builds resistance to the infection and helps the eyes to function normally in light of varying intensity. This feature is an aid in night vision. Vitamin A prevents and cures pellagra, a disease of the eyes and skin.
b. Vitamin B1; found in yeast, most meats, especially beef and pork, whole grain cereals, beans, peas, nuts and green vegetables. A deficiency of this vitamin causes great and persistent fatigue, aching leg muscles and bones and illness of the nervous system. Vitamin B1, prevents and cures beriberi, primarily a disease of the nervous system. Chronic alcoholics sometimes develop symptoms of the disease because alcohol diminishes the appetite and they fail to receive proper nourishment.
c. Vitamin C; the body does not store this vitamin and it must be replenished daily. It is found in citrus fruits, tomatoes, raw cabbage, strawberries and cantaloupe. Vitamin C promotes a healthy circulatory system, which is important to body energy; develops good sound bones, and teeth. This vitamin prevents and cures scurvy, a disease known by general listlessness and fatigue; sore, inflamed gums and various other dental disorders.
d. Vitamin D; is a fat soluble vitamin that prevents rickets. It becomes active when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Two variations of this vitamin are important in nutrition. One is vitamin D supplied by plants. The other, vitamin D3, is found in fish-liver oils, irradiated milk, and in all irradiated animals proteins. Scientists believe that vitamin D3 forms in the skin when the body is exposed to sunlight. Because of this it has been called the "sunshine vitamin. " Doctors have found that lack of vitamin D leads to serious bone changes. However, they have found that excessive amounts also cause serious bone changes.
e. Vitamin E; is a fat-soluble substance that scientists believe may be necessary for reproduction. All the functions of this vitamin are not known. The best sources of Vitamin E are wheat-germ oil and lettuce. Whole-grain cereals, meat, milk, eggs, liver, and most Vegetables also contain it.
f. Vitamin K includes a group of fat-soluble vitamins that are essential for making the blood clot. These vitamins are rather abundant in food. They are found particularly in the green leafy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower. Pork liver is also an excellent source. Intestinal bacteria manufacture vitamin K in the body. Therefore, deficiencies of this vitamin are rarely the result of poor diet. But deficiencies can result when something interferes with the normal function of the intestinal tract.
g. Certain minerals, including iron, copper, sulfur, calcium, phosphorus, iodine, and sodium, are needed for growth and to maintain tissues and regulate body functions.
The lack of forceful energy to carry on under a prolonged condition of stress can be corrected to a degree by proper, balanced nutrition. You must select the various types of food that provide this needed energy.
A strong, well nourished body will allow sustained physical and mental effort under the stress of competitive shooting.
Last years beginner can become the champion this year if he learns to eat the foods that will supply him with the stamina to keep up the fight, regardless of the odds against his winning the match.EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL, COFFEE, TOBACCO AND DRUGS

Design, Construction and Installation Information:
PinewoodLight ™ kits are designed to teach basic information about electronics and electrical circuits. The entire first section in the instructions explain how the kit works.
9-11 year olds should be able to build the kit with very little supervision. Younger scouts may need some assistance. The design is such that no soldering is required, however more advanced Scouts may want to try it if they have the equipment.
Installing the lights requires some woodworking tools and modifying the car may add about a half hour to the construction time. Proper planning is important. Look over this site and watch the vidoes to ensure that your design will work with the kit. Remember, developing new skills is partly what the Pinewood Derby is all about. A hand drill is helpful to route the wires internally from the lights to the underside of the car and a chisel is helpful for installing the board.
Building the circuit board should only take about 20 minutes and installing the kit a little longer but you will like the results.
Nothing in the Pinewood Derby rules excludes the use of lights on your car but you should always check with your pack if there are any questions (send the Pinewood Derby chairman, den leader and Scoutmaster a link to this website). Most packs consider lights a "decoration" similar to steering wheels, bumpers, engines etc... that scouts add. However, you should keep in mind:
- The length of the car must be 7 inches or less. If the lights extend beyond the front or back of the car you need to cut the block shorter by about 1/8". See the Installation instructions.
- The weight of the car must be less than 5 ounces or 141.7 grams. PinewoodLight kits weigh only 0.28 ounces or about 8 grams. A basic Pinewood Derby car kit and a PinewoodLight kit together weigh less than 5 ounces even before carving the car.
- If mounted underneath the car as recommended, the circuit board and battery must be recessed into the bottom of the car so that it clears the raised center portion of the track (ie... the wheels run in grooves on the track).

Reading time: 10 – 17 minutes
So, have you been wondering where I have been? Well, so have I.
First, my reasons for lack of blogging in this instance is the same as all other instances: LIFE. Yeah, it happens. I get busy and then I think, "I'll write about this when I get a chance." but then that chance is taken by yet another incident of LIFE. Crazy.
Still, here's some of what I've been up to:
One night, as I was eating, I felt a strange swelling experience begin in my left cheek. It HURT. It felt like my jaw was locking and swelling at the same time. Did I mention that this HURT? It did. I did what I usually do if I experience a wave of pain in some way; I just "ride it" and try to let it pass. This swelling/locking came, peaked, then seemed to "melt" away. It just went away. I thought it was a tooth ache or something. I've never had a tooth ache, but I thought that's the only thing it could have been, and judging by the pain I experienced in those moments, I was terrified that this was something I would have to endure until I could afford a dentist. I was so glad that it passed!
The next morning I was eating homemade waffles made by Clem and as I ate them, I felt the pain begin again, faintly. By the time I was done eating, it was really beginning to hurt. As I readied myself for the day, it got worse. I knew something was terribly wrong when Clem brought me a Potato Chip and AS IT NEARED MY MOUTH, my face swelled! The chip did not even have to touch my tongue! At this point, visible swelling had occurred.
I had no idea what was happening, but I figured it might pass again, so I "rode it out" most of the day, until I began to cook dinner. As I had not eaten since the morning waffles, I was getting hungry. I could barely drink liquids at this point, but as I was cooking, it seemed the swelling dissolved again in that weird "melting" way. I thought it was over. Then I started eating.
With every spoon-approach toward my mouth, I could feel the side of my face swell. I forced myself to eat, even though I could only take teeny bites because of the pain. By the time I was done eating, the pain had kind of subsided, compared to when it started, so I thought this thing was going to pass again.
It didn't.
Instead, as I took my dish to the kitchen and saw my reflection in the mirror, I gasped! I realized that the space behind my left cheek had swollen so much that I couldn't turn my head, and the swelling was the size of an elongated grapefruit.
I immediately began searching on the internet for what my symptoms might mean. It turned up several considerations, but of all of them, I narrowed it down to:
Yeah, I know. WHAT?
Apparently, I had a blocked saliva gland! Here is an image of my swollen cheek vs a couple of days after, when the swelling completely disappeared. The image below does not do justice to how bad it actually got, but, much to the chagrin of my friends, I insisted on documenting this, LOL!
So, it became necessary to finally go to the Emergency Room. My experience was one of mixed emotions. The staff was very nice and friendly, but there was an element of unprofessionalism that left me mortified. For instance, as I approached the doctor, he began asking me questions about my condition as I stood in front of the lobby, with everyone listening. That's not THAT big of a deal, but it was a little embarassing. More embarassing was when he sighed heavily, shook his head and walked away from me. I stood there, perplexed and in pain, and had no idea what to do. He then turned back to me and said, "Well, COME ON!" So I sheepishly followed him into the area where they treat everyone. It was soon revealed to me why he sighed and shook his head. He looked at my swollen cheek and with such concern asked me if I had any children. I said, No. He said to brace myself, but with the condition he could see I had, it would be very unlikely that I would ever be able to have children. WHAT!!?? I wanted to react and say, well, I don't want any children and I'm gay, so unless a miracle of biology occurs, I am already assuming I won't be having any. Instead, I said, well, what could I possibly have that you could tell just from looking at my cheek!? Of course, he took the route of consoling me as if I was reacting to my sudden, shocking news of being infertile. He told me that it was just a "high probability," but that I might still be able to have children, even if they wouldn't be healthy. WHAT!! So I said, Doctor, that's not my concern. My concern is that I don't think I have anything THAT serious. I think I just have a blocked saliva gland. He then went on to explain to me about adult "Mumps" and something else that I think started with a "d," but I insisted he ask someone else to see me. He looked at me woefully, as if the news of my infertility was the cause of my questioning, but I just couldn't believe he only GLANCED at me and told me this "news." I kept thinking about the effect this would have had on someone to whom this meant something devestating!
A second doctor came in, finally, (much to annoyance of the original doctor) and checked me out. This doctor, however, actually opened my mouth and looked inside with a light. He asked me questions as he immediately ruled out what the first doctor had concluded. I suggested to the new doctor that I had what was called, "Sialolithiasis," and he said, Oh Yeah, it COULD be that!
I was just sitting there in shock that I knew more about what I had than these two professionals!
This second doctor called in a THIRD doctor who specialized in mouth and oral and teeth.
Meanwhile, the First doctor had already written for me two massive prescriptions as treatment for HIS diagnosis.
This third doctor was immediately more obvious in her confidence and education as she approached me. I told her I thought I had a blocked saliva gland and she said, yes, that's obvious. I was so relieved to have this woman finally listen to me and KNEW what I was talking about!
In the end, they told me there was nothing they could do, but I was scheduled for a more detailed examination for the morning.
I went home in pain with two crazy prescriptions; one for pain, one for powerful antibodies, and between the two, the cost would be approximately $200. I didn't get the presciptions. I was in such pain, I really wanted them, but I could not bring myself to spend that money on PILLS! It just seems ridiculous. I consider myself "poor," but I also know I am not as poor as a really poor person and I don't know how someone could ever survive our medical and health industry.
ha: "medical" and "health" are such misnomers.
By the time I got to my appointment the next morning, my face had reduced in swelling quite a bit. The doctor told me there was no indication of a blockage anymore and that there really wasn't anything that could be done. It had "worked itself out." It had.
I have had no symptoms, since.
But I nearly had a heart attack when I got a bill for $700. In addition to the prescriptions, this visit where NOTHING of any significance was done, AND where *I* did all of the accurate diagnosing, *I* was charged nearly $1000!!
This is an atrocity.
My friends Cyprus and Johnny, and my boyfriend Clem, stayed with me throughout the entire ordeal, with my friends Cyprus and Johnny waiting the long hours in the waiting room of the emergency room, and Clem rushing out into the night to meet us, stay the night with me, and make sure I got to the hospital the next morning, enduring the day with me.
I appreciate and love these guys so much.
Poor Nick was out with his friend, Chrissy, when he got Cyprus's dramatic v-mail about my being in the Emergency Room. Apparently the first message explaining the details was lost or muffled or something, so Nick's second v-mail message had Cyprus speaking calmly about how I was now in the Emergency Room being observed, etc. and Nick about passed out from the horror of what might have happened to me.
I will miss these guys when I do die. I think I am very loved and wanted, even when I think I am not.
Finally, some snow!! In our unnatural, god-awfully WARM winter of '06, we were finally slammed with a blizzard! Umm, except it disappeared completely within a couple of days, and returned back to the 50's and 60's (though, today it has again plummetted to the 20's! YAY!).
I love the snow. I love Winter. I love Spring and Fall. I dread and dislike Summer the most. I hate humidity and sweat and stinky people and hot vaginas in closed spaces and moistness on faces. The only thing good about Summer is the hot, shirtlessness that graces our streets and parks, but even then I hate it because I'm not hot like that; just HOT, as in fuckin' sweating to death. If I could walk around and show off some sizzlin' abs, maybe I'd feel differently.
Someone want to get me into shape? Someone should be my mentor.
I've been able to see some great concerts over the past month, or so, and I wish I could keep up with my documentation of these! Saint Etienne (or here) sounded gorgeous, even if a bit bland, and LOW were as wonderful as ever. I love them so much. The big surprise was hearing His Name Is Alive, LIVE! I didn't know what to expect, but I kind of expected a lot of chaos, and there was NO chaos! It was a most beautiful, pleasant, emotional set they played. I was so happy to hear them! I long to see them again very soon. Below are some pix!

As Manchester begins to come to terms with last weeks vile terrorist attack committed as always by Muslim haters, killing and maiming innocent people including children. The spotlight has fallen on Didsbury Mosque where which Manchester Arena killer Salman Abedi attended.The mosque immediately went into denial mode after the suicide bomber killed scores in the name of the blood thirsty Allah in an attempt to divert attention away from their own extremist activities going on there.
Didsbury mosque has many skeletons hiding in its closet which are now being revealed due to the fact that Muslim child killer Salman Abedi and his jihad supporting family attended the so-called place of worship. It is quite clear now that Didsbury mosque is pumping out hatred to the Muslim masses. It should be closed down immediately not open and having day visits from local non-Muslim schools.
Whats more worrying had the Manchester bomber not attended this place of hate , we would be none the wiser to its part in radicalizing British Muslims. How many other so-called moderate mosques are equally extremist yet flying under the radar unnoticed
Trustee Fawzi Haffar appeared on British TV as the "voice of reason" of Didsbury Mosque in Manchester. He said that Salman Abedi's attack had no place in the religion of Islam and said that "Manchester is a great city, with a great history and a prosperous and bright future ahead of it. The Manchester Islamic Centre is proud to be part of this great city of Manchester." Yet Mr Haffar himself harbours extremist views as a post on Antisemitism UK below exposes
"In recent days, as Manchester reels from the atrocity inflicted at the Manchester Arena, Fawzi Haffar and Dr Siema Iqbal have been presented as local Muslim leaders in Manchester who speak out firmly against extremism, but according to a collection of tweets brought to light by Manchester-based North West Friends of Israel, both Mr Haffar and Dr Iqbal eschew their moderate messages when it comes to Jews.
Mr Haffar is a trustee of Manchester Islamic Centre, known as Didsbury Mosque, where the terrorist who committed the atrocity in Manchester on Monday night is said to have been a worshipper. Mr Haffar told the media in a widely-broadcast public commemoration of the victims of the attack that the centre caters to people of "all backgrounds and faiths, from our food and clothes banks, to all our inter-faith dialogues".
Sadly, Mr Haffar's tweets convey a very different message when it comes to Jews. In one tweet from 2014, he told another Twitter user (who has been suspended): "You are so ignorant!!! Your time will come and if you are a #Zionist then I know you will be gone". Minutes later he tweeted: "You killed our #prophet Jesus and pretend you are our friends, you #ZioNazi are baaaaaaaad". Screenshots provided by North West Friends of Israel showed further antisemitic tweets which appear to have been posted by Mr Haffar. Under the International Definition of Antisemitism, "Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g. claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterise Israel or Israelis" is antisemitic, as is "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis".
Dr Iqbal is a GP who has written for The Guardian and The Huffington Post. In 2015, she presented herself as a voice of mainstream British Muslims whilst attacking then Prime Minister David Cameron's counter-extremism policy in The Guardian, writing: "For the first time in my life I feel like I don't belong. British Muslim communities have so many worries about your plans to tackle extremism, so why don't you communicate with us?" In a more recent article in the Middle East Eye blog, she harangued Theresa May: "This isolation is the real driving force behind radicalisation and, until these issues are addressed, I feel you will continue to fuel radicalisation and the so-called 'war on terror' will never be won." In an interview for Channel 4 following the terrorist attack in Manchester, she said that: "We grieve together and we will rebuild Manchester together."
Unfortunately Dr Iqbal appears to have unsavoury views about Jews. Screenshots provided by North West Friends of Israel seemed to show her retweeting an antisemitic Twitter account called "Bob Kostic" in August 2014. In reference to the conflict between Hamas terrorists and Israel, the tweet allegedly said: "Truce in Gaza? Don't you believe it! The Jews are shopping around for cheaper bombs. #FreePalestine". According to North West Friends of Israel, she also tweeted the very same image calling for Israelis to be transported to the United States that resulted in the disgrace and suspension of Naz Shah MP from the Labour Party. At the time, she was one of the leaders of protests against a shop selling Israeli products where protesters were arrested on suspicion of hate crimes on more than one occasion, with Greater Manchester Police even having to invoke powers under section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 to place limitations on the protest. By law, section 14 can only be used when there is a likelihood of "intimidation" or "serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community".
The Daily Mirror reported that hate preacher Abu Qatada a known Al-Qeada spiritual leader that was deported from the UK had been invited several times to Didsbury mosque as a guest speaker.
Hate preacher Abu Qatada delivered a speech at Manchester's Didsbury Mosque in 1999, a former worshipper has claimed.
Adel Alrayni, 50, said he stopped going to the mosque – which Manchester Arena killer Salman Abedi's father attended – after confronting Qatada.
Speaking outside the mosque before Friday prayers, Mr Alyrani said: "This mosque was always a peaceful place but then it started to change.
"I was there from 1994 to 1999 and left because I had arguments with people as I spoke out against Abu Qatada.
"He was trying to change the context of Islam and I thought 'this is wrong', so I stood up and had a dispute with him – 300 people were there inside the mosque at the time.
Whilst the Sun newspaper reported on speeches there by another hate preacher American Abdullah Hakim Quick. A notorious firebrand cleric who has called for homosexuals and infidels to be killed
Didsbury Mosque's YouTube channel still features videos from clerics including American Abdullah Hakim Quick.
He called for homosexuals to be killed and death for those who do not follow Islam.
MPs accused the mosque of playing a part in Abedi's radicalisation.
Labour's Khalid Mahmood said: "It has to be asked where a 22-year-old man born and bred in Manchester gets that sort of hatred from.
"We tend to think the problem is the internet and social media.
"But people don't just turn up one day and look at things online."
During a broadcast of the BBC's Question Time, a frustrated man confronted the panel and Muslim apologists in the audience with a pamphlet he was allegedly given at the mosque attended by the Manchester bomber's family. (Video below)
"Anybody who's prepared to do the sort of things that we've seen recently in terms of radical Islamic terrorism," the man began, "there is something wrong with the basic ideology."
"I think the problem comes from the mosques," he continued.
"I've got something that I want to read you which actually came from Didsbury Mosque. Because I spent my time actually doing some research."
"This is a leaflet that I was given on an open day," he continued before beginning to read:
"'Living in a society in which people have accepted Western lifestyle as their way of life brings immorality to every step. Modesty, shame and honour have no place in Western civilisation.'"
"That is direct from Didsbury Mosque. That was given in a very expensive package with DVDs – and this is from a charity. And that is what Muslims are listening to.
Whilst hosting his LBC radio show, Maajid Nawaz of the anti extremism think tank Quilliam revealed further ties between the mosque and Al Qaeda linked groups
Maajid said: "Not only did the Manchester Jihadist pray there, in Didsbury mosque, but it's been associated with Al Qaeda linked groups, such as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, LIFG."
The LBC Presenter went onto name some extremists who have been given a platform in the Mosque. One in particular even raised money for the LIFG.
Maajid added: "So if this mosque has got people raising money for al Qaeda-linked groups in it, and yet they're claiming 'we're moderate because we reported an ISIS fighter', well as I say, if Al Qaida opposes ISIS, that's no definition of moderate."
Maajid spoke of another who expressed extreme anti-semitic views, who was allowed to speak at the Mosque.
Maajid quoted the hate speech: "Look at the way they massacre, they blow up babies as if it's computer games, they have no humanity, no morality, no ethics, no religion, no guidance, no light, nothing" – this is a speaker that was hosted in this Mosque speaking about Jews."
The LBC Presenter added: "The spokesperson by the way, who is a trustee of the Mosque, claims that it's a mosque for all the community, and this is what's been going on inside this mosque?"
Maajid also spoke about the anti-secular rhetoric also preached by some at the Mosque.
He added: "Actually you know what the truth is, the biggest danger to our community at the moment is extremist preachers like this, using mosques that tolerate extremist preachers like this, that breed jihadist terrorists.
"That's the biggest danger to our community, not liberal secular Muslims. When was the last time you saw a liberal secular suicide bomber go into a mosque and seek revenge against theocracy by blowing himself up? But that's what's been going on."
Maajid continued: "If these are the views hosted in this mosque, and you go and report an ISIS bomber, and think I'm going to applaud you, think I'm going to congratulate you for being oh so moderate, when even al Qaeda oppose ISIS?
"Surprise, surprise you happen to have the same sorts of speakers, with the same sorts of views that would sympathise with the same sorts of things that al Qaeda want to implement in their theocratic Caliphate.
"So what you oppose ISIS, so what? That's like saying "I oppose Stalin but I support the Nazis" or else "I oppose Hitler but I support Stalin gulags"."
Maajid went on: "You think we're stupid, you think the nation isn't going to realise? Well you know, my job is to make sure everybody understands what's going on, because you're after people like me.
"You hosted a speaker in your mosque who says secular liberal Muslims are the most, are the biggest danger in the community, so of course I'm going to speak out against you.
"And of course you know when I talk about how deep the rot has spread."
He finished off his epic polemic by saying: "Until we can separate, until we can separate these extremists from our community, and isolate them, don't blame the rest of society for wondering whether every Muslim is an extremist, when our mosques are hosting the extremists themselves."

Island sunsets and crisp ocean breezes set the tone for Cris and Krystle's romance in the Caribbean. Before these wistful wayfarers packed their bags to turn miles into memories, they met in college years prior while studying at the University of Connecticut. Cris instantly had a crush on Krystle following their first time hanging out at the Filipino American Students Association.
Fast forward nearly seven years and the two shared their first kiss together at a magical New Year's Eve party. Since that intimate moment, the rest became history. In Krystle's words, she "realized eventually we were weirdly perfect for each other." One special moment at a party quickly evolved into meaningful adventures around the world.
When they first started dating, Krystle was deathly afraid of flying, but that didn't stop Cris' adventurous spirit from rubbing off on her. Before he knew it, Cris had convinced Krystle to join him for a destination wedding in Punta Cana, a gorgeous resort town in the Dominican Republic. The tropical trip was an absolute blast! So much so, that Krystle started researching which all-inclusive resort she'd want to visit for her 30 birthday.
Before the loving couple jetted off to Punta Cana for Krystle's birthday celebration, Cris heavily researched online for the perfect engagement ring. He ultimately landed on Brian Gavin Diamonds and our team worked together step-by-step to create Krystle's dream engagement ring.
"My favorite part about working with the BGD team was that they made me feel like my proposal to Krystle had to be perfect, just like I wanted it to be," Chris recalled. "They made me feel comfortable with the choices that fell within my budget. The prompt responses also made me feel very valued as a customer," he continued.
Cris had taken careful notes on what Krystle would want in a ring and ultimately landed on a beautiful New Truth Solitaire Engagement Ring set in 18K rose gold with a Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows brilliant round diamond.
With the ring safely packed away, Cris and Krystle jetted off to Punta Cana for her special day. Cris played it cool, not letting on to the hidden engagement ring that would confirm their future, but a mixture of excitement and nervousness set in on Krystle's birthday.
Despite Cris' butterflies, Krystle didn't catch on to his plans. "Right before it happened, our friend Geoff was posing us for pictures during the sunset, which wasn't out of the ordinary since he's always taking pictures. It wasn't until we were back-to-back under a decorated canopy and I could notice our friends start to pull out their phones that I realized something was about to happen," beamed Krystle. "Not only did Cris surprise me with the proposal, but he was able to keep it a secret from almost everyone else on the trip! It was definitely a moment to remember, surrounded by some of my closest friends," she said.
It was a sight to see, and thankfully Geoff (the couple's close friend and creator of Take 220 Productions) captured every blissful second in photos and a beautiful video montage.
Cris' diamond homework and beautifully planned proposal certainly left Krystle stunned. "I cannot get over the brilliance of my Brian Gavin diamond. The craftsmanship and care that goes into cutting a diamond to the exact measurements that will maximize its beauty are evident," she marveled.
We loved working with Cris and enjoyed crafting the ultimate birthday gift. We wish the happy couple many wonderful years to come. Visit our website to see other glamorous engagement ring styles and start your own love story.

October Snow Storm Shelter
Post date: Nov 7, 2011 4:05:24 PM
West Orange C.E.R.T. members staffed the West Orange OEM Shelter for residents without heat and power following the October 29th snow storm that caused around 70% of the town to lose power for some amount of time.
For 6 days the shelter was staffed and open for 140 hours, providing heat, electricity, food, water, and a warm place to sleep for over 150 Township residents. 14 C.E.R.T. members spent time in the shelter, providing 380 volunteer hours to ensure the shelter was open to support the residents who needed it.
Township residents were able to spend over 1,330 hours in the shelter, charging phones, warming up, or even staying the night when their homes proved too cold to sleep in. Residents in the shelter had access to showers, plugs to charge phones and computers, and food for those who needed to stay for an extended period.

Note: Tanya Schmidt will give the Homily at the 2012 Santa Clara Commencement Liturgy at 4 pm on Friday at the Leavey Center for all graduates and their families.
Santa Clara, Calif. – Imagine in your final days as an NCAA Division I student-athlete, after being honored and speaking to a room full of college presidents and administrators, the President of the NCAA applauds your efforts by personally stopping by your table. As he continues to acknowledge all you have done, he tells you he will see to it that the NCAA increases the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship award so you can receive matching funds at your graduate school, NYU. It's enough to make you run outside the room and do your happy dance without a care in the world! That's exactly what Tanya Schmidt did last Wednesday night.
Rewind for a second - Schmidt had to be pinching herself. Already awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship in March for $7,500, the Santa Clara volleyball senior received the $5,000 West Coast Conference Postgraduate Scholarship Wednesday night at the WCC Awards Dinner in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. She now needed just $500 to reach NYU's Matching Funds goal!
Schmidt, who carries a 3.97 cumulative grade point average in English and is a graduate of the Harker School and a Cupertino native, received the WCC award from the league's commissioner, Jamie Zaninovich, and then spoke to the packed room passionately about the Bronco student-athlete experience. "Tanya's speech was so articulate, so thoughtful and with such a strong retrospective look at her WCC experience," said Bronco Associate Athletic Director Staci Gustafson. "She spoke about her entire experience – it was very cool! She was a true star."
Later that evening at the dinner, NCAA President Mark Emmert approached the table Schmidt was sitting at with Santa Clara president Michael Engh to her right and Gustafson to her left.
Emmert introduced himself and told Schmidt how impressed he was with her goals and her vision. He said that Santa Clara, as well as the NCAA, has many reasons to be proud of her. After verifying that she still needed $500 to meet the mark needed for NYU to match funds ($13,000), he gave her his card with his email and said, "Please contact me to follow up. I'm more than happy to have the NCAA help make your academic goals a reality."
Proving behind every good man is a good woman, DeLaine Emmert, Mark's wife, later came over to congratulate Schmidt with a big smile. "She told me that she was going to mention to her husband that the NCAA should increase my aid when they heard me speaking about it, but before she could say anything to him, he had already taken out a card and written down his information."
"I had to look around at the Santa Clara and USF people also sitting at the table to make sure that they were hearing Dr. Emmert too," said Schmidt. "I wanted to make sure that it was real."
After Emmert left the table Schmidt was beaming. Gustafson said, "What Mark Emmert did, adding money to her scholarship, was the right thing to do. You could see the joy in Tanya's face when he walked away and I am so glad I was there to witness that. When he spoke to Tanya, he was really listening and was so engaged. It's terrific he has the ability to do it (raise the money by $500). I think it was an experience that left all of us proud to be a part of the student-athlete experience at Santa Clara University."
"After celebrating with the people at my table, I excused myself for a moment to go outside and do a happy dance, which, naturally, included lots of arm flailing and jumping up and down with excitement. I saw a waiter laugh at me, but I didn't care. I was so happy," said Schmidt, who has already been accepted to a Master's Program at NYU. "Graduate school is expensive and with the help of the WCC and the NCAA, going to NYU to study English and American Literature is more of a reality now."
Bronco athletic director Dan Coonan is thrilled to see Schmidt receive so much recognition throughout her career, especially this year. "Tanya Schmidt is unquestionably one of the most impressive student-athletes to ever attend Santa Clara. She made an unmistakable impact on this program and on this University in her time here. We are all so proud to be associated with her, and can't wait to see what challenges see chooses to confront next in her life. She will make a difference!"
"It is an incredible honor to receive the WCC and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships," said Schmidt. "I enjoyed meeting various presidents, athletic directors, and administrators at the dinner in Coeur D'Alene. It was great to see how much of an advocate each of the people working in the WCC is for the student-athlete experience. I am grateful I had a chance to spend time with and thank some of them before I graduate this Saturday."
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho – The 2012 West Coast Conference Mike Gilleran Scholar-Athletes of the Year and West Coast Conference Postgraduate Scholarship winners were announced at the third annual WCC Honors Dinner, held last week in conjunction with the Executive Council and Presidents' Council meetings at the Coeur d'Alene Resort with Santa Clara's female Postgraduate Scholarship winner coming from Santa Clara, volleyball's middle blocker Tanya Schmidt. BYU cross country standout Miles Batty was named both the male Mike Gilleran Scholar-Athlete of the Year as well as a recipient of the WCC Postgraduate Scholarship. The female Mike Gilleran Scholar-Athlete of the Year winner was Kim Hill from Pepperdine University. Both Hill and Schmidt were in attendance to receive their awards.
The WCC Mike Gilleran Scholar-Athlete of the Year is selected by a vote of the WCC's Executive Council to recognize the finest accomplishments in athletics, academics and community service by individuals who have completed their WCC eligibility.
This year marked the ninth consecutive year that the WCC has awarded one male and one female student-athlete with a scholarship to assist with graduate school or professional school education. Candidates must own a minimum 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale, demonstrate a significant athletic contribution on the varsity athletic level in a WCC sponsored sport, and participate in a WCC sport for a minimum of two years. In addition, candidates must have a record of participating in campus or community activities, completed their athletic eligibility, and competed in intercollegiate athletics in the academic year in which they are nominated.
Tanya Schmidt will graduate from Santa Clara University with a 3.97 grade point average as an English major, minoring in both Classical Studies and Religious Studies. A member of the Santa Clara Honors Program and a three-time member of the WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll, Schmidt plans to pursue her Master's in English and American Literature at New York University.
On the court, Schmidt was a four-year letter-winner for the Santa Clara volleyball team. She was an all-conference First Team selection as a junior, and was a candidate for the Lowe's Senior CLASS award in 2011. Schmidt served as a team captain for the Broncos as a senior.
In the community, Schmidt was one of five student leaders for the DISCOVER retreat through the University. She served as a peer educator on-campus, and took part in the Here For Kids International Project in the Dominican Republic. Schmidt was also one of two SCU students to take part in the Path to Peace Foundation's annual conference, co-sponsored by the United Nations.
Miles Batty graduated from Brigham Young University as a five-time Dean's List selection with a 3.93 grade point average, double majoring in Neuroscience and Exercise Science. A three-time Mountain West Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Batty was named the recipient of the 2012 NCAA Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship. He plans to pursue a degree in medicine.
On the trail, Batty was the 2011 West Coast Conference individual cross country champion in his first season in the conference. As a junior, Batty won the national championship in the indoor mile, while running the anchor leg on the distance medley team that won the NCAA title.
In the community, Batty spent time as a volunteer tutor, a guest speaker, and participated with his cross country teammates in youth fireside events in competition host cities. Batty served as a Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and he was also the chair of the Service Committee of a local student church congregation.
Kim Hill graduated from Pepperdine University this spring with a 3.40 grade point average as a Religion major. A three-time member of the West Coast Conference Volleyball All-Academic Team, Hill also earned three placements on the WCC Commissioner's Honor Roll and was a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
On the court, Hill was a three-time All-American who participated in the NCAA Tournament two times. The West Coast Conference Player of the Year in 2011, Hill led the Waves on a run to the NCAA Elite Eight in indoor, while helping lift Pepperdine to a national title in sand volleyball. She ranks sixth all-time in Pepperdine annals in both blocks and hitting percentage.
In addition to her work in the classroom and on the court, Hill served as a team captain for both the indoor and sand volleyball teams at Pepperdine. She participated in Pepperdine Project Serve, as well as a volleyball clinic in inner-city Los Angeles and taking time to read to students at a local elementary school.

Chappel session for 14-10-2013
Hi all, and welcome to another entry about the chappel sessions. This entry is about the chapel session for 14/10/2013, where we had a band in called Selurians. They were a rock band with 2 songs. It was a very unplanned session, as we weren't sure whether we would have a band in or not. So it was a surprise when we turned up at the chapel and a band was playing. So we made our way to the control room and watched the camera's and audio being set up. It took about 10-15 minutes before everything was set up correctly, and the band started playing properly, and we started recording them. The band started to do a song called Dozey Rosey, but messed it up, so we did it again. It took five takes until they were happy with it, so then we moved on to the next song, which was called knock knockin'. That took 4 takes until they were happy with it, and when they listened back to both songs they decided they wanted to do Dozey Rosey again, so off they went back to the studio. Then they came back in to the control room to listen to it again, and they were happy with it. Dozey Rosey was a really catchy song, but I think the band could have been better oganised, for example the drummer, guitar and bass guitar were out of time with each other, and they were in a different time signiture. Also, the drummer kept coming in at the wrong time, causing the band to have to start again. They were a very nice band, and I think with practice, they could be really good. I think what I'm trying to say is, they have potential, and could become really good, if they work at it. After the band were happy with their two songs, we went in to the chapel and started taking down the equipment, and putting it all away. I tried to wrap up a xlr microphone cable, but I wasn't very good at it. Aventually though, with lots of curse words, I did it. THat's it until next time folks, Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

Android projects can be created either with the ADT Plugin for Eclipse or via the command line. This blog entry explains how to do this via the command line.
You find the related command line program "android" in the folder "tools" of your Android SDK installation. Add this folder to your path and run the following command>
android create project --target "Google Inc.:Google APIs:8" --path de.vogella.android.commandline --activity TestActivity --package de.vogella.android.commandline
I assume except –target all other options are clear. To see potential targets use the command
android list targets
To compile your program you can use Apache Ant. You need of course to have Ant installed and add it to your path. See Apache Ant Tutorial for this. Afterwards switch into your newly created directory "de.vogella.android.commandline" and type the following to create a development release
ant debug
You can also build a real release, this requires that you setup the "key.store" and "key.alias" properties in build.properties.
ant release
To install it into an running device, e.g. the emulator, use
ant install
You find now the activity "TestActivity" on your virtual device under programs and you can test it.
I hope this help. Enjoy your Android Development.

the reps will lie to your face
This has got to be the worst company to deal with and the reps will lie right to your face. Never been treated so bad by any company regardless of industry.
I essentially upgraded from an older nation 450 minute plan to the more everything plan which gives unlimited talk and text and a certain amount of data depending on how much you want to spend on it. The rep said there wouldn't be any issues or extra charges other than the price plan difference. To make a long story short the next bill was prorated(which is fine) but the proration gave me overages based on my prorated old plan even though I was upgrading to unlimited talk and text. Either way you look at it its crooked since I didn't go over my minutes or text when I had the old plan and my new plan offers unlimited talk and text. So now I'm stuck with a big bill that doesn't seem fair.
What did I do wrong? If I messed up ill take the blame but the rep said there shouldn't be any extra charges other the the difference in price plans.

Published on Nov 3, 2014
Just months before Pearl Harbor, the American Locomotive Company delivered the first Big Boy to the Union Pacific Railroad. The UP's Department of Research and Mechanical Standards had designed the locomotive for a specific task: to pull a 3600-ton train unassisted over the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. While the Big Boy is often cited as the biggest steam locomotive ever built, in fact it is not. The Norfolk & Western's Y6 and Class A, the DMIR's Yellowstones, and the C&O's Alleghenys were all in the same league, and some exceeded the Big Boy's weight and power.
But in the battle for hearts and minds, the Big Boy won. Perhaps it was the name, simple and direct, scrawled on a locomotive under construction by an Alco shop worker. Maybe it was timing, as the Big Boys hit the road just when America needed symbols to rally around. Maybe the UP's publicity department just did a better job of telling the world what great equipment they had. Whatever the reason, the Big Boy captured the imagination of railfans and the American public over the ensuing years, perhaps more than any other steam engine. In many ways it is the symbolic locomotive of the American West, as big and powerful as the country it sped through.
This enduring symbol of American railroading returns to the rails, complete with the industry-leading speed control, synchronized puffing smoke timed to drive wheel revolutions, and constant voltage LED lighting that define MTH HO motive power. Our model features a precision 12 volt 5-pole skew wound motor and die-cast metal construction for pulling power and speed that rival the original Big Boy - as well as authentic articulated chuffing sounds simulating the two engines drifting in and out of sync of one another. If you want a Big Boy that does more, the MTH HO Big Boy is the locomotive for you.
