Pushing Past Your Gym Plateau
Whether it's at the start of the new year, a new month or a new day, many of us will make the resolution to get our shit together, put on our activewear and actually head to the gym in it. I personally love heading to the gym and doing a workout. While at the time it can suck hardcore, the feeling you get as soon as you're done knowing you made it through, and the feeling that will last with you for the rest of the day knowing you've smashed a good workout that day, is addictive.
Before we go any further I want to stress I am not a fitness expert in any shape or form, anything expressed or talked about here simply comes from my own personal experience.
If you're heading to the gym to start your fitness journey, of course it's going to be hard at first. Whether you're trying to do cardio, lift some weights, stretch out your body or take on some body weight exercises, if you're new to the fitness game it's going to feel weird and tough.
I find that when you're first starting out however, it doesn't take long for your body to become accustomed to the workouts you're doing, and in the beginning you'll see improvements quite quickly. You'll find you can run for longer, lift heavier weights and hold a plank for longer.
What can happen though, once you've gone through that beginning stage and got your body use to working out, is that you can hit a plateau.
This is when you struggle to take your fitness to the next level. For some reason you can't seem to handle those heavier weights, you can't seem to get your body to push to that next level. I've had this recently and it can be super demotivating and disheartening. When you've been consistently putting in the effort and no longer seeing results as quickly, you can be left wondering what you're doing wrong. One thing to remember is this is completely normal, you're not the only one going through the struggle.
It's the same thing that happens with many things; whether you're learning a new skill, losing weight or trying to improve fitness, when you start off at the beginning with a blank canvas you have a lot to learn, a lot to gain, so you rapidly pick up all the bits and pieces you've been missing. Once you improve to a certain level, to a point your body is comfortable with, it can be hard to make it go that step further.
So how do you get yourself over this little bump in the road? Honestly the answer isn't anything mind blowing or life changing. The answer is simply you need to really push yourself. If you want to improve your cardio further you have to push your body and make it run for that little bit longer. If you want to lift those heavier weights you just have to make yourself pick them and pump them out, even if your body is screaming that it doesn't want to. Obviously when you are trying to push your body, you do need to keep in mind to not push your body to far to the point that you do some damage to yourself.
Something that I do when I'm doing my own workout is, if I'm doing weights or some sort of body exercise, when I think I'm done, I push myself to just do another five reps. Even if it takes you a little longer to push them out, just do five extra. If you get yourself to do that each time for each exercise you'll slowly start to notice that those extra five are no longer that hard to push out. Then you start giving yourself another extra five on top of, etc.
The same works for cardio. If you're coming to the end of your session on the treadmill, the bike or some other machine, try to keep going for an extra minute or two. Maybe bump up the speed at which you're going for that extra time as well. Again, it will be tough, but that minute will go super quick, and before you know it that extra minute won't seem like such a challenge.
Everyone has their own fitness journey, everyone has their own path and everyone's body is going to need to take a different route to get to wherever it is you want to be. The key is to not let yourself get discouraged, whether it's by your own progress or watching other people around you at the gym. Especially when it comes to watching other people at the gym, remind yourself that they all started just like you and at some point in time where in the exact same spot on their journey as you are now.
If fitness is something you want to really make an improvement on in the new year, remember these little bits of advice for when times get tough, remember to just push yourself that tiny bit further than you feel you want to, and I promise you, you'll feel great afterwards.

How Google beat the feds
A month after Schmidt met with Kerry, the lawmaker said at a hearing on a new FTC appointee: "FTC investigations and settlement negotiations have become poorly kept secrets." He added that businesses and regulators alike can't "do their jobs well if their deliberations or investigations are manipulated or leaked for strategic advantage."
Udall, separately, sent a letter to the FTC at the end of November urging regulators to "proceed cautiously" in "ongoing antitrust investigations of U.S. technology companies."Continue Reading
"Sen. Udall and his staff have good working relationships with companies that do business in Colorado, like Google," a Udall spokesman acknowledged, noting the senator and Google had "productive meetings over the past several months on a variety of topics, including this letter."
That Hill effort seemed designed to ratchet up the pressure on the FTC to settle. But Leibowitz said in an interview that the effect of Google's lobbying across the Beltway hadn't been a deciding factor. "We deal with companies this big all the time; we deal with lobbying this big all the time; … it just doesn't make a whiff of difference," he said.
This wasn't always Google's strategy — but the turning point came in 2011.
As it became clear the FTC had its sights set on the company, Google recognized it had no choice but to mature or risk its own "Microsoft moment." In the months to follow, the company embarked on a coordinated push to expand its lobbying balance sheet, donate more to lawmakers, connect better with public-interest groups and make new friends in the academic community, many sources told POLITICO.
To start, Google quickly hired 12 lobbying firms, a decision that contributed to the estimated $25 million the company, along with its purchased subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, accumulated to influence Washington decision makers over the life of the FTC's probe. The company stumbled along the way, and it relented in a 2011 battle with Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), the powerful leader of the chamber's antitrust subcommittee, to have Schmidt testify — a hearing in which he and the company were vilified by lawmakers. Joining the executive chairman later in the hearing was Susan Creighton, one of the company's longtime lawyers who formerly worked for the FTC and whose roots could be traced to the Microsoft saga of the 1990s.
It was all an old-school play for a company that long rejected the notion of lobbying in Washington. In February 2012, the company snapped up former Rep. Susan Molinari, a Republican insider, to lead its Washington team. She proved to be the political complement to Schmidt, who during the investigation donated for a second time to the Obama administration and much later appeared with top aide Jim Messina at the president's reelection headquarters. The company grabbed headlines when it hired up Suzanne Michel, one of the FTC's top patent experts, much earlier in the agency's investigation.
Critics say the strategy resonated. "I would have to assume the FTC was both intimidated and outmuscled," Gary Reback, one of the lawyers representing companies opposed to Google's conduct, said when asked about the company's lobbying barrage.

Mr. Chairman,
The Spanish Chairmanship has demonstrated committed leadership in the activities that have marked the "road to Madrid" throughout this year. However, the clock continues to tick, and we face imminent deadlines, including elections, and problematic issues with evident geo-political consequences and significant repercussions on security and democratisation. The situation in Kosovo and in the Caucasus, the new challenges to the military equilibrium and to the agreements concluded in the OSCE in this regard, require continued dialogue and cooperation. Moreover, persistent threats and unresolved conflicts are testimony to the fact that, unfortunately, stability and peace are still goals to be achieved.
As is known, it is not the place of the Holy See to enter into issues which are strictly political and neither does it wish to do so. However, the Holy See would like to encourage those around this table to continue to work for peace and justice, to implement the commitments that they have undertaken and not to violate the legitimate interests and just expectations of other participating States.
If a definitive agreement about the Chairmanships of the OSCE for the years 2009-2011 is to be reached, political good will and real respect for one another will be essential.
More generally, the eventual adoption of the Convention on the International Legal Personality, Legal Capacity and Privileges and Immunities of the OSCE may strengthen the organisation and indirectly contribute to the security of those who may eventually be involved in its activities in Afghanistan.
As concerns the fight against terrorism, it is imperative to protect critical energy infrastructure from attack. It will also be important, on the issue of environmental protection, for the Organisation to support the various initiatives concerning water management, thus contributing to cooperation, stability and the equitable and sustainable development of each country. Obviously, water is necessary for health and for life, but it is also an indispensable resource in the production of wealth.
What I would like to stress the most is that, in the opinion of the Holy See, the vocation of the OSCE is to create an area of freedom and the rule of law. In order to achieve this end, the Organisation must ceaselessly promote the dignity of the human person and defend the intrinsic rights and values of all men and women. In this respect, I also believe that it is essential that we continue to oppose human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children. In particular, trafficking in human beings for labour exploitation must be clearly distinguished from irregular migration. We must ensure that victims have access to justice, social and legal assistance and compensation for damages that they have suffered. The Catholic Church is in the forefront in the fight against these shameful crimes and through its institutions, at all levels, she has promoted numerous initiatives to address them.
Moreover, if the OSCE is to promote human dignity in an integral way, it must also effectively combat intolerance and discrimination against Christians, Jews, Muslims and members of other religions. In fact, this question has moved up to become an important political and security theme. Religious discrimination can only effectively be addressed if all religions are equally respected and protected. The European Parliament has recently adopted a resolution deploring various episodes which endanger the very existence of Christian and other religious communities. The OSCE can be rightly proud that it was one of the first Organisations to raise the alarm concerning discrimination against Christians, but it must remain alert. Christians continue to suffer from prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination and violence. Disengagement from these problems cannot be an option! We must not hide behind the principle of "consensus" in order to avoid effective action and neither should we be satisfied with blanket condemnations. Rather this consensus should be a catalyst for action to protect fundamental freedoms, and, above all, the religious freedom of every believer and of each religious community.
More in general, as far as the tolerance program is concerned, what is needed is to guarantee renewed energy and efforts to fulfil the agreed upon OSCE commitments, and to resist the unilateral expansion of the same. Undue attention to other concerns, serves only to distract the efforts of the OSCE and the ODIHR, as well as to forestall effective and timely measures to address the original commitments, many of which have yet to be implemented.
Finland cannot but play a special role in the implementation of the commitments that have been undertaken throughout the Helsinki process. To this end, the Holy See is pleased to assure its cooperation and support to the incoming Chairmanship.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The Saturday edition of The Guardian comes through the letter box and thumps on the floor, as it contains a variety of sections – the main paper, sport, review, travel, family and food. I keep the Review section for Sunday mornings and I enjoy reading the main article, as well as the non-fiction, fiction and poetry book reviews. On Saturday, the main article was by William Boyd and entitled "A matter of life and death: The rise of the surgeon memoir". In the article, Boyd looks at the works of surgeons such as Atul Gawande, Henry Marsh and Gabriel Weston. Gawande's Complications describe what Boyd calls "significant" procedures e.g. "We made a fast, deep slash down the middle of his abdomen". Boyd quotes Gabriel (in Direct Red) "We cut the woman open from breastbone to pubis and cleared her gut out with one deep sweep." Boyd then goes on to wonder ".. how anyone can do this as a matter of course on a near-daily basis and remain a happy, functioning human being". The author is obviously enthralled by surgeons and notes that he happens to know four surgeons with international reputations and he elicits from one of them, Brendan Moran, what is need to become a top surgeon – a lack of squeamishness, strength, knowledge, skill and experience. It is an interesting article, with some detailed outlines of procedures that some people e.g. the squeamish, may wish to avoid, and it gives an insight into the working lives of top surgeons. I also found it a rather obsequious article in that Boyd seems to think that because these top surgeons are making life and death decisions (and they admit to making good and bad decisions), they must be on a higher plane than other professions and he finishes by referring to "the extraordinary profession they [surgeons] share and the phenomenal life they lead". This raises the question of whether Boyd should be so amazed by the surgeon/writers. Would Boyd be so in awe of top researchers who have made major discoveries in science, medicine, history, psychology or chemistry i.e. people who have no physical contact with others? I think not and perhaps society as a whole has tended to treat people in the medical profession (mainly doctors) as being cleverer than the rest of us. A surgeon has great responsibility but so has a bus driver or train driver or airline pilot. Read the article and see what you think.
I don't buy much music these days but, having heard Ray Davies' new album on Spotify, I bought it today.
Ray Davies has always been more than just a writer of pop songs. In his days with The Kinks, Davies wrote songs with a socially cutting edge e.g. Dead End Street (YouTube link) – "Out of work and got no money/ Sunday joint of bread and honey" or Lola (YouTube link) about a young boy meeting a transvestite in a club. The new album also has a cutting edge and is based on Davies' time in America – with The Kinks in the 1960s and 1970s, but also on more recent visits. The recurrent theme in the album is The Great Highway, both in the physical sense of travelling on the roads in the USA, but also life as a journey. There are many intriguing tracks on the album and almost all demonstrate Davies' critical look at modern society, particularly in the USA, but also globally. In Poetry, he sings " .. the great corporations providing our every need/And those big neon signs telling us what to eat" but he asks "Where is the poetry?" in the blandness of shopping malls and other aspects of today's society. In A Long Drive Home To Tarzana, he finds that ".. there's nothing there except/that space/ Beautiful space" and this seems to be the dream, to be away from the crowded cities. Davies is accompanied by the fabulous Jayhawks band, including Karen Grotberg, who duets with Davies to great effect. If you listen to the album, you'll hear echoes of the Beatles in some tracks and Neil Young in others. In the first track, which you can listen to here (YouTube), the first lines are "I wanna make my home/Where the buffalo roam". In Neil Young's Far From Home (YouTube), the chorus starts "Bury me out on the prairie/Where the buffalo used to roam". So, a superb album of country/rock with Davies' ironic lyrics adding to some wonderful tunes.
No blog next week, as we are off to Bordeaux for a week's holiday.

Painting the Town Pink
It must be October because along with Christmas and Halloween decorations, every store I enter also is adorned with pink colored products. If you plan to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month by going on a shopping spree, then we hope you'll watch our video on this topic and review ratings of several breast cancer charities.

I grew up in Northeast Pennsylvania, where most folks eat pork and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes on New Year's Day (for good luck). Here in the south, the New Year's tradition is black-eyed peas, greens, and cornbread. Being a vegetarian, I have to say I like the south's tradition a lot better. 🙂
I decided to combine both traditions for our New Year's day meal. I made a pot of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut for lunch, and for dinner we'll have peas, cabbage, and my fabulous Mexican cornbread (I still don't really "get" the allure of cornbread, but I've learned to make it really well). The cabbage at dinner is a little redundant (what's the sauerkraut made of?), but hubs insisted on it.
In my effort to get as many important vitamins into us as possible, I've started slipping extra vegetables into just about every dish. Not only is healthy, but it adds a little extra color and flavor to our meals. The mashed potatoes I made came out so colorful and festive-looking that I dubbed them "confetti potatoes." Give them a try sometime!
8 small red potatoes, unpeeled
1 large carrot, diced
1 large stick celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 or 2 vegetable bouillon cubes
3 tablespoons minced fresh spinach
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup buttermilk
salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic, and cubes in a large pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Boil uncovered for 20-25 minutes (until vegetables are very soft), then drain.
Mash up the veggies with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Add the spinach, butter, and buttermilk. Mix well, and beat until smooth (I used an electric mixer). Serve with warm sauerkraut and enjoy!

What happened to leading by example?
President Barack Obama has long preached to U.S. citizens that they should be patriotic and "pay their fair share."
However, when Vice President Joe Biden's and his wife's 2012 tax returns were released, it indicates that their taxable income was $351,000. Of this amount, they donated a paltry $5,100 (1.5 percent) in cash charitable contributions and the remainder was menial clothing or household donations.
Although reportedly not a millionaire, he was first elected to the Senate in 1972, a body that has never been known to be compensated poorly. This is interesting given that the Obama campaign excoriated Gov. Mitt Romney during the 2012 campaign for paying only a 14 percent tax rate given that this was on capital gains, on money previously earned and taxed.
Recently released Romney 2012 tax returns indicated he donated nearly 30 percent of his income to charity last year ($4,020,772 to charity for $13,696, 951 in mostly investment income).
What happened to leading by example? As my late father always admonished me, "Let's practice what we preach."

Comic value found in news pages, too
I've observed that the first section many people turn to in their daily paper is the comics. Not me. I read the local news first. There is more comic value in that than there is in watching 50 clowns pile out of a tiny car at the circus.
On one Sunday, I was treated to a story about the American Indian Charter School, whose founder is walking around free after absconding with $2 million to $3 million in taxpayers' money.
Next up was the story of the rise and fall of a former swimming champion who is now on the streets.
Pictures show him posing decorously with his Starbucks coffee, booze and what looks like a cellphone, proving once again that America's "homeless" live better than 90 percent of the world's population.
Capping it off is Tammerlin Drummond's typically incisive column about Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's creative bending of murder statistics.
Every year, when it comes time to renew my subscription, I wonder if I'm receiving value for my money. Then I remember all the money I save by being amused daily for a year at much less than the price of dinner and a couple of tickets to a comedy club.

City's arborist did best for ailing oak
We wish to publicly applaud our city's arborist, Tim, and his crew.
We recently observed that "Maggie," our old, stately magnolia, was ailing and called him for help. He arrived promptly and diagnosed her as moribund.
Sorrowfully, Maggie was removed the next day. She had been kind to us old folks and had not died in vain, albeit it will be some while before a new tree will provide us shade and, as the poem says, "host a nest of robins in her hair."
And as to the question posed by the Berkeley writer in a March 29 letter, as to who knew of someone who used or threatened to use their own gun for self-protection in their own home, the answer can be found in the award-winning illustrated book, "The Matchlock Gun."

Even more pointless scientific research
This is regarding the April 4 letter "Scientists find possible hint of dark matter."
You've got that right, U.S. Energy Department: Per the big bang geeks, we do "live in a sea of dark matter."
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer program has found a footprint of something that could be dark matter. And we taxpayers have been goose-stepped right into $2 billion worth of this oh-so-necessary science project.

Evolution is fantasy, not an actual theory
Jayne Thomas, in her April 9 letter, "Evolution is not a 'viewpoint,' " is right in insisting evolution isn't a viewpoint.
The fantasy, not theory, of evolution supposedly works by survival of the fittest. Fittest for what? Fittest to survive? So evolution merely asserts that those who survive, survive.
My friend, God, nearly laughed his head off when he heard that one.

Future of the Riverina on topic at 'The Next Crop' forum
Last week, Fairfax agriculture-focused newspaper The Land and fellow paper Good Fruit and Vegetables hosted a Q&A forum to address concerns in Griffith and the surrounding areas such as job vacancies – currently sitting at 1500 – and how to attain and drive better opportunities within the 'food bowl' of Australia.
The forum, known as 'The Next Crop', saw a dynamic and diverse group of people from farmers to councillors, the business chamber to employers, and other invested parties discuss measures and means for improving the Riverina.
The panel consisted of Jo Palmer (Pointer Remote, The Rock), Jon Cobden (ICI Industries), Sue Molyneaux (human resources chief at Casella Wines), and Bob Wheeldon (Rest of NSW Inc. chairman).
Mayor John Dal Broi gave some preliminary thoughts for the night:
"This is a good opportunity for people in the industry – and not necessarily farmers, but people who are involved in our community to come along and listen and find out 'where do we go in the future?'" he said.
Host of the forum, The Land's senior journalist Alex Druce, said he spent "the best afternoon of his life" in Griffith after years in Sydney.
And, now he wants to see the Riverina set the foundation to keep that pride – that one feels as soon as they enter the region – whether that be in business, in tourism, in education, and so forth.
"The diversity in this area of agriculture is pretty damn exciting," Mr Cobden said.
Some of the issues raised during the night were: finding jobs for the partners of those moving to regional areas, financial incentive to lure prospective workers, payroll tax, land tax and stamp duty.
President of the Business Chamber, Paul Pierotti came to voice his perspective.
"We don't necessarily agree about evo-cities, country change, relocation grants – we haven't really seen any of these programs," he said.
"There's been a lot of energy, time, and effort put into these programs but we haven't seen results on the road.
"We've got hundreds of jobs available here in Griffith – we've got programs to promote that, but I can't say they're honestly working.
"I see the biggest hurdle in getting people here is affordable housing, services – our hospital's a disaster; we can't find nurses – our education system's struggling; we can't find teachers.
"When I talk to people who are considering moving here for career change, their biggest concerns are these issues: transport, health, education.
"And it's fair for them to be concerned about that, because I don't think we've been delivering."
Some heat came to the discussion as Griffith Mayor John Dal Broi then took the microphone to defend the Council's work.
"Griffith is renowned throughout the state," Cr Dal Broi said.
"I went to a meeting of country mayors and was approached by several mayors who said, 'What are you doing out there? You're growing.'
"The only thing that's going to reduce our growth is water."
The conversation was then directed to finding ways to sell the city, and how to physically get people to Griffith.
"We were named as the most livable city in Australia for our size – that's fantastic," Cr Dal Broi said.
Ms Molyneaux made a point of addressing a common misconception many Sydney-siders believe: Griffith is an isolated city and therefore many are not compelled to make the change.
"We're not isolated at all – we've got four or five flights out per day," she said.
It's very difficult to get trade-qualified people here.Sue Molyneaux
"Yes, there is a housing issue here at the moment, but there are people putting up rentals at the moment; blocks are being released.
"When people are looking to move to Griffith, I give them my own story.
"And we look after the people when they come here.
"We do need to get more people here – it is a great place to live."
While many jumped to the defence of the Riverina to share all the positives; the produce; the people, personal stories such as fourth generation rice farmer Deb Buller's was difficult to overlook.
"I had my three kids at Leeton Hospital, and while the hospital is still there, giving birth there is not an option for my daughter-in-law," she said.
"And that is a degradation of services."
Though, the adversarial nature of many of the debaters was not forgotten.
"If we're not careful, we're going to walk away from here more fed up than what we were walking in," Mr Cobden said.
The only thing that's going to reduce our growth is water.Mayor John Dal Broi
"I think some of you have some really good answers to throw at us.
"Let's walk away from here with something that we can positively do."
"This is a great forum to work out what we can do collectively."
While no concrete answers were uncovered during the forum, the opportunity for debate – with a range of groups coming together for potentially the first time – has set the foundation and opened doors for further discussion where those answers could be found.
Mr Druce remarked on the positives of the evening.
"How often do these groups together?" he said.
"Is there a forum for businesses, council, and organisations to come together?"
Ms Buller noted that the issue is "we need to think outside the box", as many are typically inclined to defend their home town.
"We need to do some pretty outrageous stuff," she said.
The common consensus however is that 'centralising' the regional cities and suburbs – to stop competing with one another and instead come together as a team – seems to be a possible answer to many of these issues.
"We've thrown a few things out there. I certainly don't have the answers and it's very hard to say, 'Well, what do we do?' 'What's something we can take away?'" Mr Druce said.

So, what is it exactly?
A joint account is a lot like what it sounds like: a bank account, brokerage account, or similar that has more than one owner. Married couples often have joint accounts, as do business partners. It gives people access to money, investments, or the like without having to ask permission of a spouse or co-owner.
These accounts are also often used by people who want to help an elderly parent or family member with his or her finances. You can pay your grandmother's bills using her pension assets.
What are the pros?
Joint accounts often make things simpler. No more dividing bills or writing checks to your spouse or partner. They're an excellent way to have transparency in a financial relationship.
Plus, since both people have access to the accounts, if one account holder dies, the other will have no problem withdrawing the funds since he already has access to the account. Without a joint account, a widow(er) would have to wait for a will to move through the courts before they could access their late spouse's account.
Is there anything to be careful about?
The primary advantage of having a joint account is also its main disadvantage: Other people have access to your money. All account holders having equal ownership and rights to the account means any of them have the right to simply withdraw some—or even all—of the assets.
Plus, any liabilities associated with your account are also co-owned, whether it's being overdrawn or making a bad decision in the stock market. Likewise, creditors can seize a joint account to pay one party's debts regardless of whether the other party has anything to do with that debt.
The bottom line: Have a joint account only with someone you really, really trust.

Items Needed: a piece of copy or construction paper for each child
Tear a simple picture (a tree, a fish, a house, etc.) from the paper. Give each child a piece of copy or construction paper and ask them to follow your example by tearing their paper so it looks as much like yours as possible. When finished, ask them to hold up their 'creations' for all to see.
Does your creation look like the example? Why or why not?
What is an example? (a sample or pattern to be imitated; something to follow, etc.)
Can people be an example? Why or why not?
Paul told Timothy to be an example to other believers. We can do good works and be an example to others.
Watch Me!
Teach your child a skill that you know but they might not yet know.
Some ideas —How to:
- Stand on your head
- Eat an Oreo the correct way
- Sew on a button
- Dribble a basketball
- Catch a fish
- Play a new game (one you learned as a kid)
If you wanted to be an example and show someone else how to ______, what would you need to do? (you would need to know how to do it yourself)
Before we can be an example to others, we must first know how to live godly and be doing it ourselves.
How can we know how to live a godly life? (read the Bible, follow Jesus' example, etc.)
Jesus left us a good example to follow. Read Acts 10:38. What did Jesus do? (went around doing good)
What are some things He did that are an example to us? (He loved others; He was kind to kids; He obeyed His parents; He prayed; He went to the synagogue/place of worship; He helped others; etc.)
Thank you….
Students began learning 1Timothy 4:12 which lists five ways to be an example:
- words I say
- things I do
- love
- faith
- purity
Invite kids to make up motions (words –point to mouth; love- hug oneself; etc.) as they say the words. Ask a child to choose one of the ways (love, for example) and then all should say the verse by doing the motion (hugging oneself) without saying that word. Keep choosing a different word until you are saying the verse with the five motions instead of the five words.

Barbecue Hall of Fame pitmaster shares a few tips
Pitmaster Chris Lilly has tips for perfect barbecue
Pitmaster Chris Lilly of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Ala., is known for his artistry of low and slow barbecue, but for the typical backyard barbecue, he switches to a hot and fast fire.
For instance, he cooks chicken drumsticks at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and a 1-inch steak or pork chop at 500 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
"The bigger (the cut of) meat, the higher the temperature," Lilly said as he fired up for a Kingsford Charcoal demo at the American Royal Barbecue Contest on Friday afternoon. "No matter what I'm cooking, I'll have a two-zone fire."
For the two-zone indirect grilling method, the cook positions the coals on one side of the grill for high-heat cooking and searing but leaves the other side empty so there is a low-temperature zone to move lower-temp or finished items.
Lilly is also a fan of planning instead of winging it.
"When I fire my grill up, I work beforehand to plan out the meal because I want to be able to spend more time with my friends and family," he said as friends hollered howdies as they passed by the tent.
Lilly has been cooking at the grill since he could barely see over one. In college he met his wife, great-granddaughter of Big Bob Gibson, a former railroad worker who dug a pit in his backyard and started selling barbecue that drew crowds. The restaurant is now fourth-generation, and Lilly's two sons are expected to join the business to add a fifth.
Big Bob Gibson's is known for its white, mayo-based sauce for chicken. Today you can find white sauces from New York to California, but it is believed Gibson's — invented in 1925 — was the first of its kind. Lilly doesn't use the white sauce in competition, though, because "judges don't know what it is," he said.
This year marks Lilly's 18th outing at the American Royal. No one has won more pork barbecue titles at the Memphis in May competition (he has won seven). He was inducted into the Barbecue Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
That's part of why he's a spokesman for Kingsford, a company set to release in January a new charcoal that burns 25 percent longer. Kingsford announced the innovation, which should be available early next year, at the American Royal.
"It's my life and what I do," Lilly said of the addictive nature of barbecue. Still, he wants time to enjoy a backyard barbecue as much as the next person.

Grilled Pork Chops and Apple-Cranberry Glaze
Makes 6 servings, 15 minutes prep time
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups apple cider
2 cups water
6 allspice berries
1/2 bay leaf
1/2 tablespoon dry thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dry minced garlic
6 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops or boneless loin chops
1/16 teaspoon red pepper
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup cranberry sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
Mix brine ingredients and stir well. Place chops in brine and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
In a small pan, add sauce ingredients and mix well. Heat until mixture is warm. Reserve 1/2 cup of sauce for plating.
Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Grill chops directly over coals (approximately 450 degrees) for 8 minutes on each side. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, baste both sides of the chops well with sauce. Internal temperature of chops should reach 150-155 degrees prior to removing from grill.
Drizzle reserve sauce over chops when serving, or serve warm on the side.
Recipe created by world champion pitmaster Chris Lilly on behalf of Kingsford Charcoal.
Caramelized Chicken Drumsticks With Peach Molasses Glaze
Makes 6 servings, 16 minutes prep
Dry rub:
1 1/4 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic salt
4 teaspoons black pepper
10-12 chicken drumsticks
Yellow mustard
1 cup peach preserves
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 teaspoons molasses
In a small bowl, add the dry rub ingredients and mix well. Paint each chicken drumstick with a light coat of yellow mustard. Season each drumstick with the dry rub mix (about 1 teaspoon per drumstick).
Build a charcoal fire for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. When the temperature inside the grill has reached approximately 300 degrees, place the chicken drumsticks on the grill over the side void of charcoal. Close the grill lid and cook the chicken for 40 minutes with indirect heat, or until the internal temperature reaches 175-180 degrees.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the peach molasses glaze ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend the glaze until smooth and pour into a shallow bowl.
Remove the chicken from the grill, submerge each drumstick into the glaze, and place them back on the covered grill over indirect heat for 8 minutes or until the sauce caramelizes. Remove from the grill and serve.

(Reuters) - Boutique advisory firm Perella Weinberg Partners has asked Goldman Sachs Group (GS.N) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) to lead its initial public offering, which could be filed by the end of the year, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
The IPO could value New York-based Perella at around $1.5 billion, however, no decision has yet been made and the company could decide to delay or forgo the IPO, according to the report.
Ahead of the IPO, the company is preparing to separate its asset-management division, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Perella was founded in 2006, and currently manages about $15 billion in assets.
The company has been part of some of the biggest deals in the U.S., including SodaStream's SODA.TA SODA.O $3.2 billion buyout by PepsiCo (PEP.O) and American International Group's (AIG.N) $5.56 billion acquisition of reinsurer Validus Holdings VR.N.
Perella and Goldman Sachs declined to comment, while JPMorgan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The sharing circle began in silence. A long silence as members settled into the suggested Quaker meeting inwardness, seeking an inner place of unity from which to speak, if at all. Slowly, reminiscences of the Phoenicia Pathwork Center, nee Center for the Living Force, came to mind or slipped into the room.
Memories of all those years in the 70s, 80s, and into the 90s...Core classes in the barn, the ongoing deer vs human battle for garden vegetables, John and Eva's golf cart, sweats in the lodge ending in the frigid stream, daring then modest swimming in the pool, huddling like puppies in front of the fireplace in the Albert Room (named for Eva's brother), sherry and Saturday night dinners in our dress-up clothes ("a way of honoring each other" as Judith Saly explained it) followed by Sat. night groups with TG1 in the inner circle to guide the work, couples marrying under the apple tree, talent shows, fund-raising auctions led by Bert Shaw, Lee Hoiby's Path song, the bird tapping at the barn window during Eva's memorial service, scattering her ashes from the box held in John P.'s lap into the stream. Every other weekend for five years, then monthly for four, we came to stretch and challenge and brave the layers of defense to uncover the best in ourselves and each other.
Eva died in 1979 and the community reeled and struggled to right the ship, adjust the rudder, and chart a course with the Guide's words now only at our backs and a new model of leadership/governance needed. Helpership and CoreEnergetics trainings continued. New people came and old ones faded away into their own lives. In the early 90s, a divide occurred that many, particularly in the helpers' community, found painful and confusing. I know only the outlines of this but did miss certain dear faces the few times I came to Phoenicia after that for reunions or other events.
Our Center has been enlarged and upgraded and is now in the caring hands of Menla (Tibetan for "Medicine Buddha." See www.menlamountain.org for a history of the center's ownership.) Menla's mission is to offer a world-class spa and integrated healing system. In the past year, several retreat weekends there have been organized by the NYRP Board--the five members of which, by the way, love each other's company and membership. How often do you hear of that?
These process-oriented retreats have been ever so skillfully facilitated by Brian O'Donnell, a psychotherapist and Path helper from Michigan, who brings to the process the wisdom, compassion, clarity, imagination, and boldness that generations of Helpership Training Class students aspired to. Each of the three weekend has brought together more people who love the lectures and value the transformative power of working in a group. This past weekend, I experienced again the familiar bonding that occurs when risks are taken and souls are laid bare by revelations of the unflattering layers trying to protect vulnerability.
At the close of the May 2-4 2014 weekend, the Board hosted a Sunday luncheon and Sharing/Prayer Circle for participants and local Pathworkers, some of whom had not been to the Center for 20 years. Excitement and nostalgia and tension and pain jostled each other as the thirty or so people who share a love of the Path moved from the dining hall to gather in a circle in the large sunny room of a beautiful building known as the Yoga Studio (formerly Carey Hall), located just next to the building originally named for John Pierrakos.
As we silently centered ourselves and attuned to each other, some in the circle felt the presence of the spirits of those who'd walked the land before–-Native Americans, Path members who've passed on, all those who'd felt connected to that valley.
The accumulation of shared memories soon broke open a courageous confession of painful remorse and estrangement. This was met with a warm welcome back, and the conversation deepened. Not into old wounds or rehashing or justifications but into the aliveness of the Now, with all its potential for forgiveness in the form of simply letting go and letting the Spirit of God have its way with us.
The sharing turned to acknowledgments and re-establishment of precious connections between some who hadn't seen each other in a very long time. The founding members and early leaders present were acknowledged: Bert and Moira Shaw, Adrienne (Winogrand) Lubeau, Jack and Cary Conaway, David Moskowitz, Gay and Gary Danna. Bert recalled the presence of the Guide at the Center and of being among those few intimates present at the Guide's session for Gary Danna, Gay's husband, shortly before he died in the 70s.
There were voices of sorrow, of love, and of passion. There were expressions of gratitude by both "newbies" and "oldies" for the role the Path has played in their lives. One woman had no plans for marriage until her exposure to the vitality of many Path couples led to her own extremely happy union.
I shared my seminal Path memory of Bert Shaw in one New Year's Eve Saturday night group after a vibrant woman revealed her loneliness and longing and wish to be anywhere else on New Year's eve. As Stuart Isacoff stepped forth to play the piano, Bert asked her to dance. Mine were not the only moist eyes in the Path family allowed to witness this ingenious stroke of tenderness.
As the sweet shoots of new life grew in our midst and the sun drifted into mid-afternoon, one woman brought into the circle the names of some Pathworkers dear to her who were not physically present. One by one, other names were called into our midst, spanning years and continents, until hundreds had returned to nestle with us in the familiar valley just emerging into its spring blooming.
No one knows what place this unique gathering will take in our rich history. But for one brief shining moment, more important than differences was love. Simply love.

Winter's End (Seasons of Faith, Book 2) by Rebekah Lyn
Winter's End is the second book in Rebekah Lyn's Seasons of Faith series. In book 1 we meet Elizabeth Reynolds, Ian Cavanaugh, Jeffrey Robbins, Stephen Longbottom, and Michelle Burton. The first book's emphasis was on Elizabeth and those involved in her circumstances. By the conclusion of that book, Elizabeth and Ian had begun a new romantic relationship. Their story continues in this second book as a subplot where the author explores their growth individually and as a couple, while LIzzie and Ian are in Vermont on a ski trip with his parents and her adopted parents.Click here to see my review on book One
In the meantime, the main plot is split between Stephen and Michelle. While Lizzie is away on vacation, Stephen is in charge of their concierge team at Hotel Lago. He is professionally tested when he spends the weekend overseeing a particularly fussy group of executives on a business retreat. Michelle, on the other hand, had just experienced an exhilarating night with her rock band, only to arrive at her office job the next morning to discover a co-worker had been brutally murdered and left in one of the office's bathrooms. The three storylines, plus a subplot where the murder investigation moves forward in its own suspenseful timeline, weave and intertwine with each other in a similar manner to Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series.
Then there's Jeffrey. He noticed Michelle was on the news because she was the one who discovered the body and called 911. Although their last time together was a disaster, he decided to call her to check on how she was dealing with the shock. They got together and she immediately noticed how he had changed. Eventually she discovered he had become a Christian. His presence helped her cope with her new fears. Their relationship is yet another subplot that will apparently continue in one of the future books in this series.
Winter's End gives readers a little bit of everything. Suspense quickens the pace when Detective Mike Emerson and his assistant try to hunt down the murderer while the evidence is fresh and before he strikes again. Good character work is evident as we learn how Lizzie and Ian's relationship is developing. Spiritual topics crop up naturally when Michelle's experience shakes her to the core. Jeffrey plays an important role in answering some of life's toughest questions. Continuity flows throughout the tale, connecting the books closely, allowing resolution in some relationships while anticipating how some other events will need to be resolved in the future.
I have noticed that the best way to read these books is to read them back to back to enjoy the story's flow. The first three books are already out. Another book will be coming out soon, in late 2015 or early 2016. I am looking forward to reading the next two books. If you enjoy Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove books and other author's works with a similar style of writing, then I highly recommend this book and the series to you.

Twitter shuts down mock Medvedev account
Nicknamed blog_medvedev, the account was at first suspended, and then completely deleted from the popular online service this weekend.
"We did complain to the administrators of Twitter. Any person can do that if one thinks that someone's blog infringes on their interests and violates the security policy adopted by twitter," a representative of the internet section of the Kremlin press-service told Interfax news agency.
The false micro blog looked very similar to Medvedev's real account and contained posts on both domestic and foreign political issues. However, it had nothing to do with the Kremlin's official stance and it was not created by the presidential administration. The blog had over 42,000 followers who apparently believed they were reading Medvedev's tweets.
The last straw seemingly came with a mock account entry in which the author surveyed public opinion regarding the potential prime ministerial candidacy of the new head of the Right Cause party.
Shortly after a meeting between Medvedev and billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, who had been approved as the sole leader of the pro-business party, user @blog_medvedev wrote: "What do you think about Mikhail Prokhorov as the leader of Right Cause? Would you vote for a tycoon? Does he deserve to be prime minister?"
The post immediately received a lot of responses as even Interfax took the bait, reporting on the move. The error was subsequently corrected.
Under Twitter's rules, an account user cannot pose as another person in the deliberate attempt to mislead or deceive other people. In addition, it is banned from using symbols found on approved accounts.
An active internet-surfer and keen fan of new electronic gadgets, Medvedev became the first Russian president to go online and start a video blog on the web. He registered his Twitter account back in June of last year while visiting the website's headquarters in Silicon Valley. Later, Medvedev decided that a single account was not enough for him and split it into two – @KremlinRussia for official announcements and @MedvedevRussia for personal remarks and photos.
Medvedev started a new fashion among Russian politicians, many of whom followed closely in his footsteps by creating their own blogs as well as pages on other social networking sites. At the same time, a lot of fake accounts sprung up posting either humorous or sharp political comments.

iHeartMedia has promoted Geoff 'G-Off' Owens to Program Director of Rhythmic Hot AC "Jam'n 107.5" KXJM Banks/Portland OR and Rhythmic CHR 104.9 KUBE Eatonville/Tacoma WA.
Owens had been serving as APD/MD for KXJM and Afternoon Host of both KXJM and KUBE. He has been with KXJM since 2004 as an intern when it was on 95.5 owned by Rose City Radio. He followed the station to 107.5 through CBS and iHeartMedia ownership and was promoted to night host in 2010 and afternoon host in 2012. He added APD/MD duties last year.
iHeartMedia announced today that Geoff "G-Off" Owens has been named Program Director for JAM'N 107.5, Portland's #1 for Hip Hop and Throwbacks, in Portland and KUBE 104.9, Tacoma's Hip Hop, in Seattle/Tacoma, effective immediately.

iHeartMedia has massive consumer reach and influence across multiple platforms and delivers more live programming than any other media company and Owens will be responsible for day to-day programming operations for JAM'N 107.5 and KUBE 104.9. He will work closely with on-air personalities and sales to oversee the on-air content, digital footprint and music programming for both stations.
"Nobody knows the JAM'N 107.5 brand, core audience and Portland community better than Geoff," said Tim Herbster, Regional Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia's Pacific Northwest Region. "It's always special when you can watch a hard-working employee's career grow from intern to Program Director. Geoff's on-air skills and programming vision will also be extremely beneficial as we continue to grow KUBE 104.9 in Seattle/Tacoma."
Owens is a well-known local media personality who has worked at JAM'N 107.5 since 2004, when he joined the radio station as an intern. He was promoted to night on-air host in 2010 and moved to host afternoons at the station in 2012. In 2016, Owens was named Assistant Program Director and Music Director for JAM'N 107.5.
"I'm looking forward to further serving our Portland community and listeners while working with the legendary KUBE 104.9 and extending my love affair with the Northwest into the Seattle/Tacoma market," said Owens. "Thank you to the iHeartMedia Pacific Northwest team for their continued trust in me and the opportunities to grow my career. It's going to be an exciting 2017."

The 21-year-old, who won the vote in 2003 and 2004 thanks to his performances with Boca Juniors, this year topped the poll after leading Corinthians to the Brazilian championship title in his first season with the club.
Tevez, who scored 20 goals in the competition and captained the team, was signed by Corinthians at the end of last year in a 18 million dollar move, a record between two South American clubs.
Tevez was followed by three players from South American Libertadores Cup winners and World Club champions Sao Paulo -- defender Diego Lugano, a Uruguayan international, fullback Cicinho and goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni.
He is the first player to win the award three times.
Uruguay's Anibal Ruiz was named coach of the year after leading Paraguay to their third successive World Cup finals. He was followed by Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira and Sao Paulo coach Paulo Autuori.
The award, the most respected in the region, has been given every year since 1986 and is based on a poll of around 400 journalists. Players and coaches have to be based in Latin America for at least part of the year to be eligible.
Previous winners include Brazil's Romario and Cafu and Colombia's Carlos Valderrama.

Then a glimpse was given.

Hi Renee - so glad to see the clear clarity has returned; a foggy mind doesn't help any of us - yet when the world closes in and fog is all around us too - then that beautiful orb really helps us regain our souls ... cheers from a very clear blue, but chilly, sky of Vancouver Island ... HilaryReplyDelete
The procession with the photos is really cool. At least you can see now!ReplyDelete
Can see clearly now that the fog is gone!ReplyDelete
I love that the first ones are in B&W. Adds to the eerie.ReplyDelete
Love the progression of pictures from fog to clarity.ReplyDelete
Art reflects reality!ReplyDelete
I would love to hear from you, say hello and leave your blog address - I'll visit, but please take with you my undying gratitude that you stopped by for a read. Be well, be happy, and may your blog surfing bring you joy!

This has been a tough year for selling art. I have sold some photos on a corporate website, but little on my website. It does not stop me from enjoying photographing. I also wrote a lot of blogs at the beginning of this year, but getting them out to the public is challenging. I use FB and promo on several sites there. I have a personal mailing list too. I twitter the blogs also. Anyone have any ideas?
I have not blogged in over a month. Mostly because life has gotten in the way-work, illnesses, KI in the hospital(she is doing great now) and the shifting of seasons which cause more work on the home front.
KI and I started our weekend trips last month, delaying them for 3 weeks so she could recover. We have been to the Chincoteague area of Virginia, Shenandoah National Park and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We try to get in or near a National Park every time. Next week is Harper's Ferry. The weather has been yucky to use the most appropriate word I could find. Raining or foggy.
The Delmarva(Delaware, Maryland and Virginia) area has broken consecutive days of rain. I think they stopped counting mid-May. This weekend is gorgeous but hot! We are not traveling for the first time in three weeks.
Using creativity, I have tried to photograph our world through the frustrating weather.
I am pleased with a few and may use one or two for this year's County Fair. "Stormy Waters" were taken near Chincoteague national Park on Pokomoke Sound. The foggy or misty photos were taken in Shenandoah National Park where we saw a black bear but could not get a photo as there was a long line of cars in the way.
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks for reading my blog and viewing my photos!

From Eagan, Minnesota, USA:
My mother-in-law has both diabetes and high cholesterol. Is there some kind of a device with which I could check her blood sugar level before and after meals and also cholesterol? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Your mother-in-law should be doing as per the schedule that the doctor feels is best so please have her ask. If her doctor does not seem to be advocating blood glucose monitoring, please ask for a referral to a diabetes team. Cholesterol is not tested on a daily basis, but about every three months at the doctor's office.
[Editor's comment: There are devices that measure cholesterol at home, but as Lois points out, there really doesn't seem to be a need to measure it daily. Roche Diagnostics introduced the Accu-Chek Instant Plus in about 1998. It monitors both blood glucose and total cholesterol using two different strips. See Easy-To-Use Monitor That Screens Both Cholesterol and Glucose Levels. (Note: If you do an on-line search for this product, it is sometimes described as the "Instant Plus" and sometimes without a space, as "InstantPlus".) WWQ]

[Edit 1/25/11, 17:30: As of about an hour ago, this bathroom was completely out of commission — "OUT OF ORDER" sign and all. Also the water fountains on the floor didn't appear to be working either. May be a larger problem than just a vile poo.]
Heads up, folks — some prolifically digestive individual has dropped a deuce in the first-floor men's bathroom in Tydings that could be classified as a terrorist act. I just wandered in to wash my hands and I swear I could hear Osama bin Laden recording a new audio tape in one of the stalls.
Speaking of hand-washing, the review of this bathroom has been downgraded to "one of the worst" because it was discovered today that the sinks don't work and every government major poops there every day at least twice.
Careful out there, comrades.

News Release — 28 January 2003
Copyright & Archives:
Law Professor R. Anthony Reese Speaks
Austin, Texas -- The Ransom Center is pleased to welcome R. Anthony Reese to talk about the recently effected law regarding copyright extensions and the inclusion of certain unregistered and unpublished materials in the public domain.
Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works that were neither published nor registered did not enjoy statutory protection, although they were protected under common law in perpetuity as long as they remained unpublished and unregistered. But under section 303 of the 1976 Copyright Act, works that were created but neither published nor registered in the Copyright Office before January 1, 1978, lost their common law protection and acquired a statutory term of protection that was the life of the author plus 50 years, amended in 1998 (as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act) to life plus 70 years.
As a result of the 1976 Copyright Act, any of the works in question whose author had died over 50 years prior to 1978 would have entered the public domain after December 31, 1977. To provide a reasonable term of copyright protection for these works, and in light of the fact that these works had enjoyed perpetual protection under common law, Congress extended their term by at least 25 more years. Congress also encouraged publication by providing an additional 25 more years, extended in 1998 to 45 more years, of protection if the work was published on or before December 31, 2002.
Professor Reese will talk about the details of the statute and its implications for institutions such as the Ransom Center which have archival holdings.
For more information call 512.232.3667.
NOTE: Due to the construction project at the Ransom Center, the entrance is at the loading dock on the north side of the building.
Ransom Center
One of the world's finest cultural archives, the Ransom Center houses 36 million literary manuscripts, 1 million rare books, 5 million photographs, and over 100,000 works of art and design. Highlights include the Gutenberg Bible (c. 1450), the world's first photograph (c. 1826), important paintings by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and major manuscript collections of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, D.H. Lawrence, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Tennessee Williams to name but a few. The Center is used extensively for research by scholars from around the world and presents numerous exhibitions and events each year showcasing its collections. Exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.

Travel Guide
Save time and find the lowest cost airfare!
The capital city of Saskatchewan, a Canadian province, seems to pop out from out of nowhere. It is a sleepy city surrounded by agriculture, but the Paris of the Prairies has a hint of loveliness that few get to enjoy.
Any journey into Saskatoon, which is named for riverside berry bushes that nowadays are hard to come by, will include a photo of the Bessborough Hotel. This is the city's iconic symbol and a dominant art deco structure. A walk along the river parks via the Meewasin Valley Trail is the best way to feel the city's tranquil vibe.
Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport serves the city. WestJet, United, Pronto Airways, Air Canada and Delta are some of the airlines with service.
Save on cheap flights from Saskatoon. See below sample of Saskatoon airfares and airline ticket deals.

KED Covis - Casco de bicicleta - gris/negro

Envío gratis en productos pequeños a partir de 99 €6
40.000 artículos 500 marcas
Lo sentimos mucho, pero lamentablemente no contamos con un texto en español por el momento.
Covis is an allround helmet with photochromatic K-Vision visor - perfect for cyclists wearing glasses.
K-Vision Visor
The new polycarbonate shield responds to changing light conditions by adjusting the level of tint from lighter to darker. Instead of a static sun lens that's either too dark or too light, the K-Vision visor enhances the visual experience by dynamically controlling transmittance, allowing them to translate light in any condition for maximum comfort, performance and safety.
With the maxShell process the outer shell is irreversibly bonded to the EPS inner shell in a second working stage. The composite is much more flexible under pressure than inmold helmets.
The Quickstopp system at the center top of the helmet allows quick length adjustment of the strap and prevents uncontrolled sliding of the strap from one side of the head to the other.
The patented Quicksafe-system provides easy and precise adjustment to each individual head shape and guarantees highest comfort and maximum safety.
Insect Net
Stops insects finding their way into the helmet. The net is integrated between microshell and EPS inner shell in the helmet and therefore offers sufficient clearance between the insect's sting and your head.
Información adicional
- Adjustable K-Vision visor, photochromatic, 100% UV protection
- Weight: 410 g (M), 450 g (L)

Google Pixel 3a Could Be a Game Changer but Only if the Price Is Right
Spotify is holding an event in New York on Tuesday, April 24 where the company will announce "what's next for [its] mobile app", according to an invite it has sent out. The event will feature presentations from chief R&D officer Gustav Söderström, vice president of product development Babar Zafar, and global head of creator services Troy Carter.
This follows an initial invite sent out two weeks ago that only carried an instruction to save the date, leading many to speculate what exactly Spotify had in mind, from updates to the app to possible new hardware. Now that we know it's something about the app, it's clear the announcements will have to do with the former.
Spotify has been testing voice control with some iOS users, and it could expand that feature to everyone next week. If so, it would join Amazon Music as the second music streaming service to do so, which already has built-in support for Amazon's digital assistant, Alexa, popularised through its Echo range of smart speakers.
Meanwhile, a report from Bloomberg last week claimed that Spotify was looking to introduce a new version of its free tier that will be "easier to use, especially for customers on mobile phones". The revamped free version of Spotify will give mobile users "more control over what songs they hear on top playlists", per Bloomberg.
The changes are meant to drive growth for Spotify, which went public in an unusual yet record-setting direct listing at the start of April, being valued at $26.5 billion (about Rs. 1,73,877 crore) at the end of the first day of trading.

|Late summer fruits and gifts from the trees...
There is that tail end, a snippet, of seasons that is tacked on at the end of any lengthy stay of weather, that begs us to say, "when will the next season finally get here?"
August weather extending into the flourish of early September leaves many of us asking just that question. Take heart. In a few weeks, the axis of the earth will shift just enough to send the hours of daylight versus darkness galloping away from us faster than we can run.
There will be frosty air, the kind that makes the tips of our fingers numb, hurried jaunts out to the field to gather the last of the green tomatoes and narrow leafed plantain, and favorite tweedy wool sweaters will be pulled from drawers smelling of last autumn's perfume.
The rush will be on to gather acorn and firewood, depending on if you are a squirrel or a woodsman. And, the ever comforting stock pot will return to the kitchen, re seating itself as the regal overseer of all kitchen merry making for the next 6 months or so. Next to it sits it's royal counterpart, the tea kettle.
Boots come out of cobwebby closet corners, and striking a match at sunrise to light our candles catalyzes from a physical act into one of spirit and understanding.
Summer stories spill from the tips of the trees as their leaves fall in a dizzying cosmic dance.
It comes upon us quickly, yet we forget each year and still we sit in the late summer heat wondering...waiting for Autumn's arrival.
As I write this, the air is blowing in hotly from the southwest, hot as an oven door left open after baking a peach pie. The fruits of summer are ripening like tinted gems in the heat, readying themselves for basket and jar, to sit upon our shelves during the cozy months ahead.

I'm not sure it's a new feature. 2396 defined authority as either server or reg_name, where reg_name had no length limit. Consequently, any implementation that assumes a 255 byte limit in authority is broken today. It seems to me that removing the limit from authority in 2396bis doesn't add a feature but rather provides the same functionality that was already available in 2396 via reg_name. Dave ________________________________ From: Larry Masinter [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Fri 7/16/2004 12:00 PM To: Dave McAlpin; 'Roy T. Fielding' Cc: email@example.com Subject: RE: 255 character limit in reg-name In moving a proposal along standards track (from Draft Standard to Full Standard), it's important not to add features. If a length limit was in place for URIs and software written that assumes the limit, then a new specification ("URIs with names longer than 256 bytes") would become a new Proposed Standard, rather than a modification to the existing standard. Those who want to increase or remove the limit need to demonstrate that the widely deployed URI software does not assume the limit in order to function properly.

Dialog Box
www.CART-WHEEL.org is interested in collecting data from patients affected by rare cancers including rare molecular subtypes of common tumours.
According to RARECARE.eu data (Gatta et al Eur J Cancer 2011), it is reasonable to define all cancer patients as having a rare cancer (<6 per 100,000 incidence) or less common cancer (pragmatically 6-12 per 100,000 incidence), UNLESS they have the common histologic subtype of the following common cancers
The CART-WHEEL rare tumour website (Bae et al IJGC 2012) was developed in order to address barriers to effective rare tumour research, including rare molecular subtypes of common tumours. Small patient numbers lead to difficulty in accruing adequately powered rare tumour cohorts for studies ranging from treatment efficacy to the molecular pathogenesis.
A pilot study of data entered into CART-WHEEL.org by cancer consumers confirms that consumers can enter medical data accurately when using a well-designed online questionnaire (publication pending).
The CART-WHEEL online questionnaire has been put together by clinicians and researchers with a help of cancer consumers and covers information ranging from tumor type and treatments received, to aspects of relevant social and family history.
Participants have control over their personal details by providing consent to different uses of entered data.

Sandwich photo by Xavier Snelgrove/Prison photo by Doug Coldwell.Representative Dennis Kucinich's latest crusade is a lawsuit against the House cafeteria. The Sisyphean congressman from Ohio did not enjoy his lunch one afternoon in 2008, and is now seeking to see that those responsible are punished to the fullest extent of the law. According to the civil complaint:
Said sandwich wrap was unwholesome and unfit for human consumption in that it was presented to contain pitted olives, yet unknown to plaintiff, contained an unpitted olive or olives which plaintiff did not reasonably expect to be in the food prepared for him, and could not visually detect prior to consumption.
As a result of consuming said unfit and unwholesome food, plaintiff sustained serious and permanent detail and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures, and has sustained other damages as well, including significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment.
Are Kucinich's attorneys eligible to win this year's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor if they had no intention of being funny?
As Gawker observes, a few days subsequent to the aforementioned olive incident, Kucinich seemed fine.

*********** Limp Wrist is a gay straight edge punk rock band featuring members of Los Crudos, Hail Mary, and Kill the Man Who Questions.
Referring to their style of hardcore punk music, the band declared in Frontiers ewsmagazine, "We put the 'core' back in homocore". Their first recording was the self released demo Don't Knock It Till You Try It. This was followed by a single called "What's Up With The Kids" and then the self-titled LP Limp Wrist. However, since band members lived in different states maintaining the group became difficult. After an interlude they resumed touring in 2004 and released a new LP, Complete Discography the same year. The song "Ode" from this recording pays tribute to pioneering gay hardcore musicians Gary Floyd of The Dicks, Randy "Biscuit" Turner of Big Boys and Joshua Plague of Mukilteo Fairies and Behead The Prophet, No Lord Shall Live, providing a historical context for Limp Wrist.
The band's best known song was "I Love Hardcore Boys, I Love Boys Hardcore", which received much attention from fans and press alike. Lead singer Martin Sorrondeguy appears in Queercore: A Punk-u-mentary by Scott Treleaven and addresses the issue implicit in these song titles, what some might view as the apparent contradiction of being both queer and being involved in the punk scene. *********

It Ain't Summer 'til The Summer of Arcade Says So
Xbox LIVE Arcade's Summer of Arcade promotions are always a good time. How they work are, Microsoft pools together a bunch of games, releases them weekly, and gives you a portion of your spending back if you buy multiple titles. There are a total of 5 games to be released between July and August, and a few of them look pretty damn snazzy. As your special bonus, should you buy any 3 of the Summer of Arcade titles, you'll get a whopping 400 Microsoft points back. Hooray for incentives! Breakdown to follow:
- July 18 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD - 1200 MSP
- July 25 - Wreckateer - 800 MSP
- August 1 - Deadlight - 1200 MSP
- August 8 - Hybrid - 1200 MSP
- August 15 - Dust: An Elysian Trail - 1200 MSP
Of the above, the two I'm most interested in getting play time with are Hybrid and Deadlight. Hybrid because of its dummyproof-however-refreshing take on the cover-based shooter genre, that kind of looks like the bastard child of Halo and Gears. Sure it sounds like every other game in the over-saturated genre, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. And Deadlight mostly due to its wonderful zombie-meets-Limbo aesthetic, gorgeous visuals, animation, and strong focus on delivering a satisfying narrative with comic inspired cut scenes. Trailers for the two are included below. What do you got on these, folks?
