In the robot boxing flick Real Steel, actor Anthony Mackie plays Finn, the charismatic host of the robot fights at The Crash Palace, an underground venue where folks go to make fast cash. Taking inspiration from Don King, Mackie jumped at the opportunity to play such a rambunctious and outlandish character, and even worked out because he knew he'd be sharing scenes with the film's star, Hugh Jackman.
At the film's press day, Anthony Mackie talked about how much fun he had working with Hugh Jackman, that he was initially intimidated by the huge robots because he was waiting for them to go crazy and kill everybody, that he feels this is one of the first times he's seen a movie where the graphics are insane and the story is actually there to back it up, and that he hopes Finn will get the Don King hair, if he gets to return for a sequel. He also talked about always wanting to do something different with the roles that he chooses to do, why he was attracted to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and who he's playing in The Gangster Squad. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
Here's the film's synopsis and six clips from the film:
Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) is a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
Question: What attracted you to the role of Finn?
ANTHONY MACKIE: In my career, I haven't had the opportunity to do anything rambunctious and outlandish, and I haven't had the opportunity to wear leather and baby oil, at the same time. When I read the script, I was like, "Holy, shit! It's time to have some fun!" So, (director) Shawn [Levy] and I talked, and I told him what I wanted to do and he was like, "Oh, okay." We showed up on set the first day and did a rehearsal, and I did my thing. I'd been working out because I wanted the guns to look right, next to Hugh fucking Jackman. And, Shawn was like, "Oh, my god, that's great! That's so cool!" So, it worked out. I was looking for something to have fun with, and to be in Detroit, and those two things came together.
Were you inspired by Don King at all?
MACKIE: It was 100% Don King. When I was in high school, I read this whole thing about Don King and he had this quote that said, "Set yourself on fire and the world will pay to watch you burn." I thought that was the most amazing thing I'd ever heard. I wrote it on my wall and everything. And, I feel like there's an element of Don King that a lot of people don't really pay attention to. Besides Muhammad Ali, he's the second most charismatic and influential figure in the world of boxing. A lot of people take that for granted because of all the crazy shit he said and all the words he made up, but I really feel like there was something beautiful about the art and craft that he brought to boxing, and how he turned it into this billion dollar business. So, I tried to angle Finn into that. That way, if there is a sequel, I could finally get the hair. I asked Shawn to get the hair, and he said no.
So, how was it to be around Hugh's guns?
MACKIE: They're beautiful! Man crush alert! No. Hugh is actually a great guy. When we were shooting the movie, he wasn't working out, so he was regular guy size. But, I don't know if Australians can become regular guy size. We had a lot of fun. He was always open and responsive and just really cool. The dude don't have a negative bone in his body. It's weird for somebody to play Wolverine and not be a jacked-up, wannabe rugby-playing, crazy dude, but he's not at all. That shows his versatility as an actor, but also his humbleness as a human being.
Why were you so intimidated by the robots?
MACKIE: It's not every day that you see a nine foot tall robot just standing there, mean-mugging you. If you go to a certain nightclub or bar, there's a 6'4″ black dude, growling at you. I'm used to that. But, when you see a nine foot tall, animated robot, and you're talking, and it lifts its arm and puts it down, it's a lot. It was very intimidating, at first. I just have this fear – and I call it the Jack Bauer effect – when something is in the room and it's not normal. I wait for that thing to go crazy and kill everybody in the room. It's like going to somebody's house and they have a Great Dane lying on the rug. It's like, "Nice doggy," until it gets up and mauls my face. It's like that. That's how I looked at the robots.
So, do you think there's a future in robot boxing?
MACKIE: That's why I love this movie so much. If you look at what Shawn chronicled, in the scope of this film, it's along the lines of where we are with boxing. No one really cares about the boxing federation anymore, so everyone is watching MMA, and that has become a billion dollar business now. But, that's going to get to the point where it's just too much. It's like, "Just stop hitting him in the face! Once he hits the mat, don't jump eight feet in the air and land on his nose with your knee. Don't do it!" It's going to get to the point where people are like, "Okay, this dude died in the ring. We can't condone this." So, how can we get the gore we want and have people not die? Robots! It's a brilliant concept for a film, especially at the time we're at, living in Bush-onomics and the state of boxing.
That's why I loved it so much, and I'm glad that it turned out the way it did. You can go see this film with a female, and she won't be put off. Usually, when people make CGI movies or movies that cost over $100 million that are spectacle events, it looks amazing, but the story sucks and you leave there like, "I just spent $30 on popcorn and root beer because I know I didn't pay for that damn movie!" This is one of the first times I've seen a movie where the graphics are insane, and the story is actually there to back it up. I look at it as Rocky. By the time the movie is over, you're cheering for that robot. You're cheering, so that the good guy wins. You don't get that that much anymore.
Is there something specific you look for in the roles you choose?
MACKIE: I just always look for something different. I feel like I'm blessed because I get to do what I love. Why wouldn't I go to work and have a good time, and enjoy myself, and do something different, and challenge myself? So, I always try to find something creative. Fuck, Johnny Depp shouldn't be the only dude having fun doing this shit! I wanna have fun. I wanna put eyes on my eyelids. He did that in Pirates, if you haven't seen it. I want some Willie Wonka fun. I wanna wear make-up, and not in an L.A. way. I just always look for something different and fun, and something interesting. If it's different than everything else I've done, then nine times out of 10, I'll do it.
What was it about Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter that attracted you?
MACKIE: Are you serious?! No. Because I read the book. I'm a firm believer in the re-contextualization of history. I feel like education is the only aspect of our culture that is still one-dimensional. You have kids that go home and play video games with 3D TVs and crazy phones. They have a cell phone where they can play a game, but they go to school and it's just a blackboard with an old lady and a piece of chalk. That's crazy, to think that you can learn, in that way. I think what (author/screenwriter) Seth [Grahame-Smith] did with this book was re-contextualize history. That way, you have to go and look up Abraham Lincoln and find out that his best friend was a black dude, named William H. Johnson, who died on their way back from Gettysburg. Lincoln paid with money out of his own pocket to have him buried at Arlington cemetery, and his headstone read, "William H. Johnson, citizen." Did you know that? Now, don't you want to read more about Abraham Lincoln? And, if you have to add vampires to history to make, not even kids, but people – because we don't even know our own history – interested, then I'm with that. I'll do Martin Luther King, Eel Fisherman, if it will make you go back and read about Martin Luther King because he was a dynamic figure in our history.
How was it to work with Timur Bekmambetov, as a director?
MACKIE: Timur has made some dope-ass movies. If he calls you, you do a movie with him. Hell, yeah!
Who are you playing in The Gangster Squad?
MACKIE: I play Lieutenant Harris. Basically, the movie is set in the late 1940's, and it's based on Mickey Cohen (played by Sean Penn) and how he ran L.A., by the hook or by the crook. My character was promoted to Sergeant, and the first task he was given was something he didn't really buy. It didn't sit right with him, ethically. So, he handed in his promotion and decided he wanted to get the heroin off the streets in the black neighborhoods. So, he ran the streets in the black neighborhood with an iron fist. Josh Brolin's character comes to me because he knows of my special skills, being a weapons expert and a guy who just has his ears and nose to the street, and asks me to be a part of The Gangster Squad. My character looks at it like, "If I can get Mickey Cohen, I can stop the heroin from coming to Compton." So, I go after Mickey Cohen.

Now in its seventh year, The PRIME Symposium is built on the principles of best practices, open sharing, and excellence, aimed at helping to accelerate the development of IPA Best of the Best firms – and other high-performing firms.
Attendance is invitation-only, with two-thirds of participants coming from IPA Best of the Best firms. That means, by definition, attendees have a proven track record of success and fully support the principles on which The PRIME is built.
Join top leaders from across the profession for this hands-on strategic event. Our profession is changing rapidly, but few of us, if any, know exactly what it will look like in the next five to 10 years. The firms that will thrive during the coming disruption will do so because they have built an organization that learns, adapts, improves and executes. The PRIME Symposium this year will focus on how firms can best build a bridge to an unknown future – including what anchors are needed to hold on to the core and what disruptions are imminent that will change the accounting profession.
results you desire. To achieve maximum value from this program, The PRIME Workshop is limited to 50 guests. Firms in attendance are encouraged to bring at least one team member to build on the knowledge. Guests will be assigned groups and team members will be in different groups to gain the most benefit from this hands on workshop. The workshop will tackle key subject matters to arm guests with the knowledge and resources to execute a firmwide plan. Registrants will receive a survey prior to the workshop to uncover key goals.

What if I was thinner? What if I made more money? What if I was better in bed? I had these thoughts of self doubt and many more, after my wife cheated and I have heard them again and again from the people that write to me. Don't let their infidelity, ruin your self-esteem.
First and foremost, there is NO excuse for cheating! It is as simple as that. If someone is unhappy in their relationship, they should try and fix it or they should leave. Infidelity is never the answer for any question in a relationship. It is not your fault that someone chooses to cheat.
It was easier for me to recover my self worth than most because my wife had left suddenly and permanently, without any chance for reconciliation. I believe it is much more difficult to keep up your self esteem, if you are trying to save your relationship after infidelity by a trusted partner takes place.
Usually the first reaction from a cheater after they get caught is a defensive one. If you used monitoring software on their PC or discovered a strange phone number in their wallet or purse, they will typically blame you for invading their privacy.
Another common response from the cheater is to say "Well, if you were (this way), then I wouldn't have needed to go looking". Just another loaded line designed to make themselves feel somehow justified in what they did. Don't buy into it. Like one woman who wrote to me, "I don't feel comfortable doing the things he asks of me in the bedroom, but I feel I should, if I don't want him to cheat again". This type of response gives the cheater the upper hand, by making it appear that YOU are the guilty party and themselves the victim. It also opens the door for them to use infidelity again in the future for something else they want from you.
I hope that these articles on improving your self-esteem will help you see how great a person you really are. Because, after all, we are ALL Gods children.

Legal Internship
What is Legal Internship?
The Melbourne Law School (MLS) Legal Internship subject enables JD students to undertake vocational placements at a variety of public interest organisations in Melbourne and beyond for subject credit.
An internship is about practical legal experience. The Legal Internship subject allows students to apply their substantive legal knowledge and academic skills to real legal problems. Internships also assist students to develop a whole range of practical legal skills that cannot be obtained in a classroom, which enhances their ability to undertake legal work in a professional environment. Similarly, internships can foster or deepen an awareness of the wider social and policy issues relevant to particular areas of practice.
Public interest internships are very rewarding experiences that can also be a great way to enhance a CV and assist with career planning. An internship can provide students with an insight into career paths, and assist them in establishing valuable professional networks with lawyers and staff at their host organisation. This opportunity is particularly valuable for students because it can help to clarify their interests and guide their future career choices.
What does it involve?
There are two types of Legal Internship – PILI Internships and Independent Internships.
PILI Internships
PILI Internship opportunities are created exclusively for JD students at MLS and will be advertised on the JD LMS Community. PILI currently has formal partnership arrangements with a diverse range of organisations in the field of public interest law. This allows students to select from a number of internship opportunities that consist of various kinds of work and relate to different areas of the law.
Where can I go?
PILI Internship opportunities are available in the private, public and community sectors, across all specialisations.
Recent partner organisations include:
- Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
- Federation of Community Legal Centres (Victoria)
- Fitzroy Legal Service
- Flemington and Kensington Community Legal Service
- Job Watch
- Judicial Systems Monitoring Program, Timor Leste
- Judicial College of Victoria
- Law Institute of Victoria
- Legal Services Board and Commissioner
- McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer
- Native Title Services Victoria
- Northern Health
- Office of the Health Services Commissioner
- Parks Victoria
- Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission
- Victoria Legal Aid – Family Law
- Women's Legal Service
- Young Workers Centre
Independent Internships
The Legal Internship subject supports students who would like to undertake an internship for credit that they have organised themselves, whether local or overseas.
Students who wish to complete an Independent Internship must meet certain criteria in order to enrol and obtain subject credit. Interns can be hosted at a public interest organisation where they will be able to undertake legally-oriented work. All Independent Internships are subject to faculty approval.
Where can I go?
Examples of host organisations include government departments, regulatory and statutory bodies, courts and tribunals, legal assistance sector organisations such as legal aid or community legal centres, and non-government or not-for-profit organisations. Students can choose to intern locally, interstate or internationally.
There are many exciting international internship opportunities. Students have completed Independent Internships overseas with organisations such as:
- UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
- Reprieve
- UN Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials, Cambodia
- UN Environment Program (UNEP), Division of Environmental Law and Conventions, Nairobi, Kenya
- South Asia Human Rights Documentation Centre, New Delhi, India
- Legal Aid, Cambodia
- Beijing Arbitration Commission
- International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY)
- International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR)
Aurora Native Title Internship Program
The Aurora Native Title Internship program places law and social sciences students and graduates at Native Title Representative Bodies (NTRB) and Indigenous corporations, government bodies, community groups and other policy organisations across Australia. Interns assist in legal work, policy development, and Indigenous affairs more broadly. The internships allow participants an opportunity to explore careers in these areas, while also contributing to organisations in need of additional resources.
The internships are usually of four to six weeks duration. They can be taken for subject credit.
For more information about Aurora Native Title Internships, contact Kate Fischer Doherty at firstname.lastname@example.com.
British Institute of International and Comparative Law Internship
The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) is one of the world's leading independent research centres for international and comparative law, promoting the rule of law in national and international affairs. A unique opportunity exists for Melbourne Law School (MLS) students to undertake an internship assisting Associate Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law, Dr Jean-Pierre Gauci, on a BIICL international law research project.
This internship is available twice yearly, over at least two months (full-time), however longer part time internships may be considered. Successful applicants may be eligible to obtain subject credit
Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme (UCWIP)
The Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme (UCWIP) creates internship opportunities in Washington DC exclusively for Australian university students. It offers a unique exchange between Americans and Australians that takes place in the United States Congress. A core principle of the UCWIP is to successfully match students to congressional offices. Internship prospects are offered in Democratic and Republican offices; personal and committee offices; the House and the Senate; and one commission office. UCWIP intern experiences will vary widely according to the needs of the congressional hosts. Administrative functions, constituent liaison, and legislative research and support have been among the touchstones of past internships.
UCWIP currently includes 10 participating Australian universities. The internships last for eight or more weeks and are full-time. UCWIP internships must be completed for subject credit. First year JD students are not eligible to apply. For more information about UCWIP and the application process, see the online 2019 Program Guide or contact Kate Fischer Doherty at email@example.com.
Subject Clinician
Lawyers who devote their time, in whole or in part, to teaching through clinical methods are called 'clinicians'. The Public Interest Law Initiative was launched in 2012 at Melbourne Law School and has achieved a great deal since then. We now have six clinical subjects and a team of clinicians who are committed to offering a range of innovative, practical subjects.
How do I apply?
Details available on the JD LMS Community.

I bought, read, enjoyed, even if crime novels are not normally my thing. (I don't have anything against them, I just don't seek them out.) Now her second novel, The Orphans of Race Point, is out with Harper Perennial, and is getting great reviews. Check it out.

I just read this fantastic article on Social Media today. The article discusses the need for businesses to essentially become their own media companies and produce their own content, to be told in a story format. As an elected official, this rang true for me on multiple levels, which I'd like to discuss below. However, if you read nothing else, please understand this when it comes to social media use: You must tell stories and create your own content.
The decline of traditional media
I've noticed it as an elected official, and most people who pay attention have noticed it as well – traditional media focuses less on local politics. Print media is declining and people are relying more and more on social media to get their news. What's the end result of this media shift?
Everyone is a reporter
Thanks to our phones and social networks, everyone can report and spread the news. And this certainly applies to elected officials. Think about it: in the days before social networking, you had extremely limited options to massively connect with all of our constituents. That day is no longer here – you no longer need the media to have a massive connection with your constituents.
You have an obligation
This is the part where I get on a soapbox: If you are an elected official, you have an obligation to advocate for your views, and to keep your constituents informed. And, if traditional media is declining, then elected officials must fill the gap by making more direct connections with our constituents. We have to let them know the services available to them, our positions on vitally important issues, and how they can connect with us.
The danger to our democracy
This is all well and good, and I like to think that I'm a good elected official who really believes in everything I wrote above. But only a fool would ignore the challenges that the decline in traditional media presents to our democracy. Of course every elected official will do everything possible to keep our constituents informed about what we do – it's more than just good for democracy – it's good politics. But it's not as if we are going to be doing anything but presenting ourselves in the best possible light – and it is the job and goal of reporters to provide that honest examination of our actions. So, as traditional democracy declines, and as elected officials enter the media business, we also lose the guardians of democracy. On one hand, it's great that elected officials can communicate, so easily, with constituents. On the other hand, it's incredibly dangerous, if no one else is watching us.
Any thoughts to add about this media shift? Let us know in the comments!

Worth the money - but definitely over advertised
Brought this ring for my partner as a promise ring - had the ring delivered. When the ring arrived and my partner opened it I was really disappointed with how it was presented - very basic and poor attention to detail. Diamond is a lot smaller than the picture shows. Overall good value

Ever since CEN/TC 227 Road Materials was formed in the late eighties, that is, before there were any plans to reorganize the standardization landscape in Belgium, BRRC has been a pioneer and an active participant in this committee. The main focus at the time was on the activities of WG1 Bituminous Mixtures and WG2 Surface Dressing, Sprays and Slurry Surfacing (incorporating Microsurfacing).
With support from the Belgian Federal Public Service Economy, SMEs, Middle Classes and Energy, BRRC operates a standards support office that goes by the acronym "NAN". The object is to inform SMEs in the road branch and make them aware of developments in the field of standardization and, where necessary, to offer them additional support in implementing new standards (which are often mandatory).
Le 20 mars 2007, le conseil d'administration du Bureau de Normalisation (NBN) a reconnu notre centre de recherche en tant qu'opérateur sectoriel pour les comités techniques européens CEN/TC226 Equipements de la route et CEN/TC227 Matériaux routiers.
Fin 2009, le CRR, conjointement avec le CSTC, a été accepté en tant qu'opérateur sectoriel pour le tout nouveau CEN/TC396 Terrassements.

I`ve made this one twice in one week, and I strongly suggest that you do the same. This bread is delicious, it is a bit cakey and it has a slight taste of maple, and a wonderful taste of the nuts. Honestly, I have nothing else to say, but you should really go and make this bread.
Maple-Pecan Bread\ Nigella Lawson, How To Be A Domestic Godess (makes one loaf)
500 gr. wholemeal bread flour
150 gr. strong white flour
1 tablespoon salt
7 gr. (1 sachet) easy-blend yeast or 15 gr. fresh yeast
300-400 ml. warm water
4 tablespoons maple syrup
50-100 gr. chipped pecans (or walnuts)
oil (walnut oil, if you`ve got some) or butter for greasing
Combine the flours, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Measure out 300ml of the warm water and stir in the maple syrup. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and stop when you`ve got a rough dough; you may need an extra 100ml of water to reach this stage. Knead for a few minutes, then leave for 20 minutes.
Start kneading the again. sprinkling in the nuts. It`s entirely up to you how nutty to make this. Carry on kneading the until the dough feels smooth and elastic, and then form into a ball.
Grease a bowl with oil, and turn the dough ball in the oil, so that the top is lightly slicked with it too. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rise in the kitchen for 1-2 hours or until about doubled, or follow the general method for a cold, slow rise.
Punch the dough down, knead for 1 minute and then form into a loaf. Sit this loaf on a baking sheet, cover with a tea towel, preheat the oven to 22o degrees C. and leave the dough for about 30 minutes or until puffy.
Score the loaf with a blade or a sharp knife, and transfer to the oven. After 15 minutes, turn the temperature down to 190 degrees C. and give a further 20 minutes or so. Check the bread`s ready by rapping its bottom, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Travel and style go together like a glass of Chardonnay and Brie. If you've been following Diamonds & Discoveries, you know that this year alone I've explored New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Travelling to a new metropolis is so much fun because you get exposed to a whole new style environment. From the chic and demure attitude of New York, the flashy sexiness of Las Vegas and the relaxed yet preppy lifestyle of San Francisco, each city has it's own trademark. Now the opportunity to fly for free to any city in the world is just a selfie away.
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Collins Ezeuka, the founder of 1st Class Fashion, a site that rewards people who post pictures of their outfits with first class plane tickets when they reach a threshold of likes. What I love about the site is that it cultivates individual styles while highlighting the similar tastes seen across the globe.

EclecticMamma's Patent-Pending DIYer's Weekend Workout Routine
I'm trying to get back into being more healthy, etc, but one thing I wasn't expecting was this weekend's workout routine! My legs and arm are definitely reminding me about the activity I did over the weekend! To try it yourself, all you have to do is follow these easy steps…
Day One
- Buy the $1 spray paint that has a difficult trigger/not reliable spray.
- Spray paint two cardboard boxes and a plastic lid at dusk/night, making sure you spend most of your spraying time in a crouch position. When it gets too dark, do this all while holding a 5 pound flashlight.
- Insanity Version: Do lunges as you're circling the boxes. Don't worry, it's dark. Nobody can see you.
Day Two
- Saw several inches off of 17 paint stirring sticks—quickly, because you only have half an hour to do so. Sand and wipe down the ends of all the sticks.
- Spray paint the sticks, in a crouch because it's getting pretty windy and you need to keep the nozzle closer to the wood.
- Eat cookies.
Day Three
- Reap the benefits of being sore!
Disclaimer: Though I majored in Exercise Science, I don't exercise. Yeah, I tried last year, and I keep telling myself I should get back into it… But I don't. However, I do think that I'm funny. And if I did lunges around cardboard boxes, not only would I never tell anyone, but it would just make me funnier. As in, funny-looking.

An asymmetrical center front zipper gives the Arcata feminine style; while the extended draft flap helps to block out the wind. It features an active fit that's figure-flattering, with stretch hardface fleece panels on the sides and underarms for freedom of movement and increased breathability. There's also a drop-tail hem and scuba-style, attached hood for added wind protection while exploring the great outdoors.


text: Reviewed October 2018 Stephen Clements Trip: Whales & Bears of British Columbia Amazing Canada An exciting trip around the island of Vancouver. We couldn't believe the amazing wildlife encounters we experienced, and enjoyed the hospitality of our cheerful Canadian hosts. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Seeing the Grizzly bears feed on the spawning salmon with their cubs on the Orford river . it was great to be hosted by the Homalco people in their ancestral home. What did you think of your group leader? Marie- Helen was always upbeat and cheerful. She was resourceful , giving us lots of alternatives. She was dedicated to making sure our holiday was a trip to remember. We couldn't help getting swept up in her enthusiasm. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Waterproof trousers and a woolly hat are useful for the changeable weather and chilly boat rides. Have a go and enjoy the country. Is there anything else you would like to add? Be prepared for a couple of longer journeys in the minibus as Canada is bigger than you think.

Remember that thing I said about marbling?
Because I do. All the time and everywhere, I said.
Every night for the past week when I've been preparing for bed, I've thought about how the striped toothpaste might possibly… and then I start brushing my teeth, because when you rise at 04:30 in the morning, you're too tired for that sort of things.
But yesterday I got fed up with just thinking about it. I used a toothpick to make some kind of fan pattern (on the left) and some sort of double comb pattern (on the right).
And then I brushed my teeth and went to bed (one and a half hour too late).

"I had never seen or tasted a bottomless bowl of soup before.
But that's what I had, essentially, when I ate lunch at Bamboo Bistro on the fringe of downtown Westbrook. It was like some sort of noodle soup miracle. The more I ate, it seemed like the more there was.
I ordered the BBQ pork, wonton and egg noodle soup, for $10.95. The bowl was like something I might mix cake batter in, filled with a chicken broth and about a half-pound of noodles, maybe more. Then there were the tender slices of barbecue pork and lots of pork dumplings, not to mention what appeared to be bright green bok choy and other fresh vegetables."

Thinking of Becoming an Event Planner?
Here's What you Need to Know First
If you're thinking of becoming an event planner, there are a few things you should know. A job as an event planner or wedding planner always looks like lots of fun in movies and on TV; after all, your work revolves around planning and attending parties, so what's not to love? The thing is, like most jobs of its kind, it can be a lot of fun, but it's also always a lot of work. And, as an independent contractor, you have a lot of additional work-related details that you're responsible for—you don't necessarily have access to things like employer healthcare, for example, and in addition to the nuts and bolts of the job you'll also spend a lot of time on administration and other tasks that aren't quite as enjoyable as planning menus, or helping a bride shop for her wedding dress! For the right kind of person, however, a job as an event or wedding planner is an absolute blast, and a career that will provide a huge amount of professional and personal satisfaction.
Personal and Professional Attributes and Skills
Enrolling in a course designed to teach you all about the nuts-and-bolts aspects of coordinating weddings and other events is definitely a good way to kick-start your career in this industry, but just as important is having the right mix of skills and personal abilities that will help you make your chosen career a success. So what are some of the essentials?
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
- Exceptional organizational skills—especially because successful event planners are usually working on multiple events at the same time
- Time-management and multitasking skills
- Be able to visualize the big picture without losing sight of smaller details
- The ability to stay calm and in control in a crisis
- Be able to quickly recognize and solve problems, and apply creative and unconventional solutions when necessary
- Be able to work with all kinds of people
- Be prepared to work long hours, including on weekends and public holidays
One of the most important aspects of the job is to have a strong love of and talent for working with people, and the ability to be tactful, patient, and calm with clients, vendors, and suppliers, in all situations. For example, one wedding planner and event coordinator jokingly describes her work as herding cats, telling the future, and reading minds—which speaks to the fact that in any job where you're working with people to create something to their specifications, many clients don't always know exactly what they want. Sometimes, that means you have to figure out what a client wants, even though they don't even know themselves. As well as this, planning an event like a wedding often means trying to please multiple different people all at the same time—the bride and groom, plus two sets of parents, all with different ideas of what they want.
When it comes to the people aspect of the job, it's not all about working with clients, however; a single wedding can involve dozens of different vendors, so an event planner also has to build up an extensive network of industry contacts to be able to do their job effectively. This is important because staying competitive in the event-planning industry requires having the right vendor and venue contacts to be able to offer clients plenty of choice and excellent rates. Established wedding planners agree that this is an aspect of the job that absolutely can't be ignored.
As well as all this, if you're someone who plans to run your own event planning business, you'll also need a certain amount of competency in other areas too, such as marketing and advertising, accounting, and an understanding of the relevant legal aspects of the job, such as liability and contract law. With this in mind, it's definitely a good idea to choose a course that covers all of this essential information.
Event Coordination is a Growth Industry
There are lots of things you need to consider when starting your own business, and one of the most important is whether the industry you're interested in can actually support you. Is it a growth industry, or will you find that there aren't enough clients to go round? Luckily, the news is all good for the event planning industry—the US Department of Labor predicts huge growth over the next ten years—a whopping 33% increase, which means it's the perfect time to enter the industry.

With all the recent hoopla about quilts here and here, I thought I'd share recent pictures of little Zoe's bed. Using a quilt given to us as a wedding gift by Alex's grandparents (hand-stitched by Babushka), Zoe's room takes on a nostalgic yet very current look. Take a peek at a few of my favorite designs below:
Kantha quilts seem to be getting all the attention at the moment, but introducing any traditional quilts into modern settings can evoke feelings of nostalgia, warmth and coziness.

Research Dimension
A basis for the LLI is the advanced research in materials science at Lund University with relations to companies developing new LED-technology. Another is the broad and advanced research in Lund on the relation between organisms and light. The vision group is one of the world leading groups in comparative visual science. Within biology the study of growth and development of plants relates to light. In the faculty of medicine research about the relation between light and illness are studied in a number of departments. In the field of environmental psychology studies about the psychological impact of light, both visual related to experience, and non-visual related to arousal has a long tradition. Finally, in building sciences and design sciences the research focus on how to apply lighting solutions that meet the needs of man as well as energy efficiency, in different situations and environments.
At the university it is possible to examine the relation between organisms and light in depth from various viewpoints, but in order to apply the knowledge in real-life situation it must be synthesized. By a multidisciplinary approach it is possible to reach further and both develop research areas and facilitate implementation of the knowledge. By the help from the Pufendorf institute at Lund University a first step was taken in 2010 when an advanced study group on light and lighting was formed. The group has arranged seminars, the first on concept formation in the study of light, and also published a booklet about light from different points of view. LLI aims to promote and facilitate applied research and various kinds of case studies.
With the LLI the next step is taken to become more specific and begin actual collaboration between research groups, both inside and outside Lund University.

Heartwarming Relationships and Inspiring Messages

The one thing Joanna Robbins truly desires for her twenty-first birthday is a preacher. For months and years Joanna has been praying for a preacher to come to her community. A preacher would be able to bring her father to Christ and help resurrect their now neglected and abandoned church – two missions very important to her. Joanna misses worshiping with her friends and neighbors; and without her mother around, she needs someone to help save her father's soul.
By some underhand, dubious, (and illegal means) Joanna receives a preacher for her birthday – Crockett Archer, a young man on his way to interview for a much hoped for full-time preaching position in a nearby county. Even though Crockett admires Joanna's passion and conviction, he firmly believes that he is not the answer to her prayers. Want to make God laugh, Crockett Archer…tell Him your plans!

Acid Stomach Diet
There are so many over the counter medicines that can be
bought to tame an acid stomach. It works, but what if it doesn't? That just means that a major change should be
done with one's lifestyle to make improvements. Since the problem is with the stomach being too acidic, then
make changes with the stuff you put in your stomach. A diet change should be done.
So here are tips and ways to change your diet to be
friendly to your stomach:
Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. If you're in a party and it can't be
helped, limit yourself to a can or a glass.
Never over eat. Not only will it cause you to gain weight but it will
make your stomach much more aggressive in secreting more acids.
Foods with high fat content do no good as well. Fats stay inside the
stomach far longer and it causes the stomach to produce more acid.
Don't eat the usual and normal 3 big meals a day. Break it up into
smaller portions and eat smaller but frequent meals. That way, the stomach is not in a "hardworking mode" and
secretes fewer amounts of digestive acids.
Drinks or beverages can also affect the stomach acid
production. But there are a couple of misconceptions about drinks related to acid stomach diet. Here are the two
common misconceptions about acid stomach diet:
Everyone thinks that drinking your good
glass of milk before going to bed will help to neutralize the acids in the stomach. This is true, yet it has a
reaction when a person is asleep, the milk inside the stomach tends to cause more acid production. So to avoid
high acid stomach, eat a smaller amount of food for dinner before going to sleep.
Stop the Cup o'
There was a research and study which was
published from Archives of Internal Medicine in May 2006 states that coffee, acidic foods and spicy foods has no
bearing with acid stomach production. So eating or drinking these types of foods wouldn't hurt as long as it is
not taken on excess amounts.

The authorities in Terengganu state say the plan to legalise the trade will help them control it better.
Conservationists say it will drive the creatures further towards extinction.
Tourists used to come in droves to Terengganu, on peninsular Malaysia's east coast, to watch thousands of turtles come ashore to nest each year.
But illegal egg collection and modern fishing practices have driven many turtle species to the brink of extinction.
Terengganu's head of agriculture and regional development, Mohamad Jidin Shafie, says conservation efforts seem to have failed.
He says banning egg collecting merely raises prices and encourages poaching.
But many environmentalists are aghast.
They say the local government's attempts to stop the turtle egg trade have been dismal - eggs are on sale openly throughout the state.
And they have described the plan to regulate the practice as "crazy" and "simply not thought through".
Conservationists say it would make it impossible to tell whether eggs have been collected legally or not.
Instead, they want a properly monitored ban and more support for their efforts to buy back stolen eggs.
Earlier this year Terengganu dropped the turtle as the state's mascot in favour of the clown fish.
The state's chief minister said it was an agile and dynamic symbol.
Environmentalists suggested the fish's main attraction was that, unlike the turtle, it had not been all but wiped out in the area.

Earlier this year long time snowboard manufacturer Elan Snowboards declared bankruptcy. This came as a bit of a shocker to people as it has long established roots in the snowboard industry and was a manufacturer of a lot of the top tier brands. With its doors shuttering this caused a bit of a scramble for brands to find new facilities before production season began.
Transworld Business wrote a follow up article to the aftermath of the bankruptcy. In that article it said, "Capita is also finalizing its future production and Founder Blue Montgomery says that due to all of the moving pieces, his team is not commenting at the moment on their future production plans as the details are buttoned up." Talking with various industry insiders no one knew what this meant and felt that it signaled something big within the C3 organization. Whether that would be good or bad was left up to speculation.
Late last week an industry source told us that Capita was leasing out the Elan factory with former CEO Michael Kollmann. Earlier today a second source showed us a press release from Capita talking about the formation of C4 and the acquisition of the Elan factory. We currently don't have the press release but will update as more information comes in.
CAPiTA SUPER CORPORATION ASSUMES CONTROL OF THE ELAN SNOWBOARD FACTORY
For Immediate Release:
Seattle, Washington – May 16, 2013 – CAPiTA announced today it has assumed control of the Elan snowboard factory in Furnitz, Austria. CAPiTA will continue to produce snowboards at the renowned Austrian factory under its own management utilizing the technology, expertise and talents that made it one of the premier snowboard manufacturing facilities in the world over the last twenty five years.
At an April 12, 2013 insolvency hearing, the CAPiTA ownership group filing under the
Austrian name C4future GmbH was granted legal right to assume control of the factory. Facility control was obtained April 15 and the entire factory is again operational producing CAPiTA snowboards at this time.
Former Elan Austria CEO and Technical Director Michael Kollman brings eighteen years of manufacturing experience at the facility to the CAPiTA team as Director of Production. Fifty highly skilled factory operatives have also been retained. CAPiTA President Blue Montgomery commented, "This is a milestone in regard to our long held vision of vertical integration and production control. Our first commitment is ensuring our ability to deliver our 2013/14 line, consistent with our samples and on schedule, with the high quality standards that people expect of our snowboards. We've produced at this factory for ten years. We know the facility, technology and team very well and we're sure of our ability to deliver our best lineup of boards to date."
CAPiTA Snowboarding is based on the fishing docks of Seattle, Washington and is recognized throughout the industry for unique graphics, progressive product, and worldclass athletes. CAPiTA Super Corporation | We devour everything!
So what does this mean for the snowboard industry? Is Capita and it's umbrella of companies poised to take over the global snowboard scene? It is interesting times that is for sure.

About Elisabeth Radysh: I have been making toys for over 40 years, ever since my children were small and am now making them for my grandchildren. Crafting playthings started out as a hobby and became a much more serious endeavor when I transplanted myself to Massachusetts. After having lived in New York City for about two decades I was faced with reinventing my life. My love for children, working with my hands, colors and textures provided clear direction for me and I fully embraced becoming a toy maker.
About the Toys: The Radyshes are natural and unique toys. They are made by hand from natural materials whenever possible. I frequently use wool yarn, filling, and felt. Other toys contain sand, wood, herbs, pine cones, seeds and more. Washed and recycled sweaters feature a great deal along with other natural fabrics. These natural materials, especially the wool stuffing provide a lifelike feel to the Radyshes that synthetic fiber would not produce.
In creating the Radyshes I strive to capture the essence and gesture of an animal or being. I intentionally keep them relatively simple so as to leave ample room for a child's (or an adult's) imagination. Each Radysh is a one of a kind. It always astounds me to see how in the process of creating them they take on their own personality or character. This way of working is deeply satisfying and calls forth ever-new creations!
Care Instruction: Most of my toys are made and/or stuffed with wool. This material has a natural tendency to repel dirt. However any item requires cleaning I recommend gentle spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Another option is to immerse the toy in lukewarm water with a bit of mild detergent. GENTLY wash and rinse the toy and squeeze out excess water. Carefully towel dry the item and reshape it if necessary. Always let the toy air dry. NEVER wash any item in hot water and NEVER use a washing machine or dryer! (These processes would felt the wool.)
Ordering: All of The Radyshes are unique and one of a kind. As such, the pictures on this website show examples of each category only. Please contact us for more information regarding specific hair, skin, eye and clothing colors and styles. Come see us at any fairs we attend, or contact us to make an appointment to visit the Radyshes shop.

A want-to-be physicist and science communicator, and skeptic, Belinda spends a lot of her time thinking. Occasionally this may result in a blog post, occasionally in the completion of an assignment, but usually the thoughts are lost in an abyss of more thought. Oh well.
To give you a less accurate idea of who she is, here is her biography as posted in the University of Melbourne Physics Students' Society's annual magazine "ElectroMAG":
"Belinda was born the illegitimate daughter of Romanian Prince and a tailor's wife. After twelve years hiding in a dilapidated convent she was granted political asylum in the United States of Tasmania in 1997, before immigrating to Australia three years prior thanks to a legal loophole and a time paradox. Belinda hopes one day to use her degree to become a physicist, or perhaps an exotic dancer."

Java Applets in XUL
Java applets from a extension directly embedded in a XUL document (via a HTML-Namespace) seem to be a difficult thing to achieve. They are not only close to impossible to reference (Java plugin obviously doesn't know
chrome://-URIs) but also seem to be restricted to 300x300px. Not good. As our project depends strongly on data exchange between an applet and XUL code I searched the dark alleys of old forum entries and found a different approach yesterday and implemented it:
- The applet is embedded not in XUL but in a HTML page that is contained in an
- The applet may access the embedding HTML by
- In HTML a script generates a custom
DOMElement, puts the data to hand over to the extension JSONified in an attribute x and finally fires a custom
EventA, which is bubbling up through all parent nodes, …
- … until the listening extension captures this custom
EventA. Data is read from the attribute x, handled and return values are written in another attribute y of said
DOMElement. Then the extension itself fires another custom
EventB from the Element.
- The script in the HTML listens to
EventB, and — when fired — reads the returned value from attribute y and passes it to the applet.
Easy, isn't it?
So much hoops to jump through to solve such a seemingly simple task! And that only because the Java / Firefox bridges are mostly ropeways…
Communication between HTML and extension works so far, source code will be posted tomorrow. When I finished tackling the applet-to-HTML-thingy I will update, promised.

Intro from Jay Allison: "Finding Miles" took over a year to record and produce. In the crush of daily journalism on the radio, it's rare to hear a story unwind over time. Sarah Reynolds writes, "I first knew Miles as Megan back in college. When he decided to transition from female to male, he gave me a call. He was slowly coming out to his friends as transgender — testing them, really — to see who he could still count on. The radio producer in me kicked in and I thought, this is quite a story about to unravel. I pitched him the idea and he agreed to do it: we would document his transition for radio."This brave and intimate diary illuminates gender transition in an immediate way—from the mundane practical considerations to the fundamental identity transformation. Take some time to follow this path with Megan toward Miles. And talk to Sarah about her producing challenges, like editing a voice which steadily deepens over time from testosterone treatment.
About Finding Miles from Sarah Reynolds
I first knew Miles as Megan back in college. When he decided to transition from female to male, he gave me a call. He was slowly coming out to his friends as transgender — testing them, really — to see who he could still count on. The radio producer in me kicked in and I thought, this is quite a story about to unravel. I pitched him the idea and he agreed to do it: we would document his transition for radio.
We began in November of 2008. I taught Miles how to use the gear and he used it for just over a year. In the beginning, he would mostly sit in his room and record at the end of the day very quietly. Miles is shy (as he'll tell you himself) and when he took the recorder with him, he would often walk around with the mic under his arm or in his bag. But slowly he grew comfortable and more willing to take the gear with him.
As he went, he would send me audio files through an FTP site. I downloaded them and listened along the way, jotting down questions and suggestions about what else I wanted to hear. We met up in person and checked in on the phone every few weeks and each time we did, I recorded him.
One of the most challenging things for me was producing through his voice change. Miles began taking testosterone about five months after we began our recording. If I didn't keep right up with the tape each week and get everything I thought I needed, I wouldn't be able to get it again. But as we know, the story always shifts as you go along and it's hard to get everything you need – especially when you're not doing all the interviewing yourself. Miles' voice deepened quickly and at a certain point, I only had a deeper voiced Miles to reflect on what had already happened.
By the end of 2009, Miles had gone through surgery, was further into testosterone treatment, out at work, in life, at home and this chapter of his life came to a natural conclusion – always a good place to end a radio piece. I listened to every minute of tape and pulled together a story – only part of a story, really – but one that captures Megan to Miles and how he found a better space to fit into this crazy world of binaries. It was an amazing process to witness and one that still continues beyond this piece of radio. Miles is courageous for sharing it.

About Finding Miles from Miles Taylor
I can honestly say that today I am not the same person I was when I began recording my story during the winter of 2008. So much has happened over the past 18 months, I'm caught between feeling like it's flown by in an incredibly profound blur and thinking it's also been the longest, most hectic &#$% year and a half of my life!
This piece was made from probably over a hundred hours of tape (a tip of the hat to my producer, though that's probably the last time she'll ever tell anyone "More is better than less!"). Frankly, I think I got the easy end of this deal; all I had to do was carry around a microphone.
Transitioning is a once in a lifetime experience very few people get to have–although one which I would never want to go through again. As I got closer to starting hormones, I knew I wanted to document it in some way: journals, photos, videos. And it was right around that time when Sarah approached me about making an audio documentary. I've never been one for the spotlight so I surprised myself when I barely hesitated before saying yes; I also knew I would be putting myself into very trust worthy hands. One thing led to the next and we got the tape rolling.
The more I recorded the easier it got. People generally wouldn't describe me as a 'talker' so having to talk and talk and talk (and then talk some more, especially all about myself) was a learning experience all together. But once I got into it, the microphone became a therapist and, on some level, a friend. Transitioning is a very consuming process and more often than not, I found that I had little else to talk to my friends about. During this time, it was great having the recorder as an additional outlet. Most of the time I wasn't thinking to myself that I was recording this for a documentary, I was recording because it was helping me survive.
I found that as I got further into my transition–hormones started, breasts gone, fully transitioned at work and 100% male in the public's eye–the less compelled I was to sit down and record. I was burned out; I didn't want to talk about it, I didn't want to think about it, I just wanted to put everything transition related behind me.
I honestly don't know what would have become of my life had I not transitioned. I'm still struggling to find my peace but I'm closer now than I have ever been before. And I am glad that I have it all documented–for myself and for anyone this may help. Special thanks to Sharone, Chris and Noreen for their support.
Tech Info
Miles used a Sony PCM D50 and a Beyer omni mic, courtesy of Transom. Sarah used a Marantz 620 and an Audio Technica Omni 8010 microphone when conducting interviews with Miles. They would often record interviews over the phone – Miles using his gear and recording himself, and Sarah using hers to record her questions. Sarah used Express Scribe to log and transcribe over 100 hours of tape and produced the piece in ProTools.

Cleaning & Care:
General Indoor Furniture Assembly & Care Tips:
• Try to assemble your furniture near to where it will be placed to avoid having to move it once assembled.
• Be sure to place your furniture on a flat and even surface to prevent unnecessary stress on the connecting joints.
• If you need to move your furniture elsewhere, make sure you get somebody to help you lift it. Do not drag the furniture, as this can damage the item itself, as well as the floor.
• If you have assembled your furniture yourself, be sure to regularly check the bolts and re-tighten them if necessary.
• Ideally try to place your furniture away from elements such as sunlight, heat, moisture, excessive temperatures and air conditioning units.
George Cleaning & Care FAQ's:
Do I need to do any regular maintenance to my furniture to keep it in good condition?
•We recommend regularly vacuuming or brushing the chair lightly to remove any dust, crumbs, or pet hair.
•Over time, wooden furniture which has been pre-treated with oil may dry out. To maintain the finish of the legs, we recommend regular treatments with suitable oil as recommended by your local stores.
What happens if I spill something on my furniture?
•If accidental spillage occurs, immediately wipe away any excess liquid and press paper towels onto the spilled area to minimise the liquid from seeping into the cushions. Use a clean, well wrung cloth to wipe away any stains. Use a gentle cleaning solution which is suitable for upholstery if necessary, testing this on a usually invisible part of the cover before use.
•Removable cushion covers can either be hand washed, or placed on a very light washing cycle to remove any stains.

The Victorian government seemingly stepped up their efforts this week to move a step closer 'performance pay' this week. Principals across the state have been briefed by the government about a series of changes to current system. The government have been arguing that if you look at overall student results that they form a bell curve with roughly 30% not making the grade. The belief then is that, even though it is often impossible to 'measure' effectiveness and success, that the same distribution can be applied to teachers, with the suggestion that, just like students, 30% of teachers are not performing at the adequate standard and should therefore not be simply moved up to the next increment.
The whole scenario is best summed up in an extract from a bulletin published by the AEU today, in which they state:
The DEECD Secretary replied to the AEU this morning, asserting that "no changes to the existing performance and development guidelines have been implemented or proposed for the 2013/14 performance cycle." The Secretary cited "reasons of good public administration" for advising principals to "apply appropriate rigour in assessing the performance of staff in their school". (18/10/13)
There are two aspects that stand out to me in this statement. Firstly, the reference to 'good public administration', and secondly the use of the word 'rigour'. The notion of 'good public administration' puts down the current administration, implying that things are being done poorly. While the word rigour, suggests that the processes in place could or should be more thorough.
What concerns me most about both of these ideas is what the government is doing to support administrators and teachers? Maybe I don't really know, but it would seem that the since coming to power, the Liberal government has frozen funding, collapsed the number of regions and basically gotten rid of much of the support that was previously available to schools. Much of this is done with some sort of effort to provide schools with more autonomy. It makes me wonder though whether this is what is meant be 'good public administration' and 'rigour'. Many of the changes that have been made feel like an effort to apply more scrutiny and pressure on individual schools, rather than actually provide thorough support.
What disappoints me the most is that I do not necessarily disagree that the whole performance and development process could not in fact be improved. However, don't you endeavour to put in place a better structure first, before making the threats? For example, AITSL provide some really good support for teachers. They are progressively making the process more explicit with the use of various videos and resources, but how many teachers know this or a shown this? Time and assistance is still required to help move towards this supposed 'rigour'.
In the end, surely the government should be encouraging staff to see themselves as life-long learners, I just don't see how they are doing this?

25 Days...
... until Marathon #2.
I keep waivering on my plan for this marathon... so that's where *you* come in. Talk to me, folks.
Let me give you some background...
1. As many of you may know, Sherry agreed awhile back to go with me to San Diego and run this marathon. I couldn't have been more thrilled. Sherry is the perfect pacing partner. We run almost exactly the same pace... sometimes she pulls me, sometimes I pull her. Plan set...
But as you may or may not know, Sherry has been on a journey for many years to become a mommy. Most recently going the path of adoption... which she's been on the waiting list for around a year. If you don't follow Sherry's blog then you might have missed a little bitty teenie tiny announcement. God had a different plan for her, and she's pregnant!!! I am over-the-moon excited for her. You can't pull me off the ceiling. So thrilled for her. Seriously, becoming a mommy outranks a marathon any day of the week!
But...... that means -1 pacing partner for the marathon. So it's just me and the pavement. Although Sherry *is* still going on the trip with me and maybe doing the half. Cannot stinkin' wait to share this trip with her!
2. In all honesty, I am way better running *with* someone, and while I think I could pull off a 4:40, there are pace teams from a local running club at 4:30 and 4:45. I'm afraid if I push with 4:30, I'll fizzle. I'm afraid if I go 4:45 and I slow a little at the end, like most people do, then I'll be too far below what I think I'm capable of.
3. This quote I posted last week is really bothering me:
I really want to cross that line not feeling defeated like I did last time... but I don't want to be so conservative that I'm giving up the great and settling for the ok.
4. Numbers for you...
- My last marathon time was 5:12 in December. I finished the first half around 2:23 and then cramped badly at mile 15 and hobbled for the last 11 miles and crossed the line feeling utterly defeated and disappointed.
- I've run 14 half marathons. My PR is 2:09 (9:52 min/mile). My last half was a 2:20, but it was in the middle of an 18 mile run and I felt fantastic.
- I train slow and race fast. I do the majority of my miles at 11 min/mile. My long runs usually a tad slower than that. I do very little speedwork since I race so much (that's my speed!), but I have been doing the middle 6-7 miles of my Tuesday runs at 10 min/mile.
- My 5k PR is 26:54 (8:41 min/mile). My 10k PR is 59:35 (9:37 min/mile). All my PRs are within the last few months. But my 5k PR and 10k PR were before I lost 12 more pounds.
- The only runs I've missed in my plan were the ones during my vacation and the week that I had a sprained foot.
- I currently have zero injuries.
- I've done a 14-miler, 16-miler, three 18-milers, and a 20-miler (with another scheduled for this weekend that I *will* do). My mid-week runs have included at least two 9-11 milers for the last 6+ weeks. I run 5 days a week.
Alright Coach Blog-readers... talk to me... give me your input. Help me devise my marathon plan. AND throw in there a little time prediction and maybe I'll throw in a prize for the closest guess. The marathon is San Diego Rock-n-Roll.

Guitar Amp Brick 180
This small but powerful amplifier uses exactly the same technology we use in our well known Camplifier product line. Our Camplifiers serve KPA users since 2012 all over the world and hundreds of players are very satisfied with the sound and reliability of these devises. So why another product with the same technology, but in a different enclosure format ? Well, KPA rack users can now use our Camplifier technology with their KPA units too. The KPA rack is very short and the GAB 180 is very small, so it will fit into the back of a rack case in many cases. It can stay there and be all wired up for immediate use.
There are other good guitar processors on the market, such as the HELIX ore the AX-8 board unit. Why not putting the GAB next to a HELIX, for example, on a board and have a small and high end guitar amplifier system on your floor board ? There are even more possibilities. How about taking just a pedal pre amp + the GAB 180 on your next flight tour and have the lightest and smallest complete guitar amp system ever ?
The GAB 180 offers up to 180W mono power. Just connect a speaker cabinet to the GAB and go for it !
335 Euro*
for customers outside of EU and Switzerland *399 Euro including 19% German VAT for customers inside EU / prices are excluding shipping cost
180 watts @ 8 ohms mono
90 watts @ 16 ohms mono
360 watts max
jack inputs (unbalanced)
speakon - 1/4" combi sockets for speaker connection
illuminated power switch
IEC socket
power cable included in delivery
120V and 230V version available
weight: ca. 1 kg

STEELE x HATRIK: DENIM
Le Vie Est Belle
La Vie Est Belle, or for those less French, 'Life Is Beautiful'...isn't it just? A fitting time to reflect on the year that was, and if beautiful isn't the perfect adjective for the hindsight then make it next year's ethos.
Hatrik recently teamed up with the girls behind Melbourne label Steele to create a limited edition denim jacket as part of their current collection. The jacket features customised embroidered patches, in tones of pearly whites and pastel blues, with the french quote smeared around the edges. In true Hatrik style, each piece is hand embellished with matte sequins and fastened with tiny glass beads, ensuring each is unique and special for the wardrobe it ends up in. The epic Kate Waterhouse took the first one for a spin, styled with blinged up Gucci and Scanlan & Theodore linen. Amazing!
Whether it's a gift to remind someone special that life is in fact full of beauty, or a treat-yourself moment, head over to the Steele website to get yours exclusively. If you purchase a jacket #steelexhatrik and share your styling with us! It's back to the sewing machine for me, but here's to sore fingers, embroidered patches and Alessandro Michelle for reminding us that customised denim is still on point.

The most important thing to remember is to make money. What you charge each guest is up to you, make sure at minimum to cover your costs then increase price per person so that you are guaranteed to make money. The price per person should be based on your total cost divided by the number of people you are expecting. Whatever you charge above this cost would then be your profit.
Other ways to alleviate costs are ad journals and table sponsorship.
Example: Find a local pizzeria, retail store or even a family wants to sponsor a black jack table with a charge of $200. Then make a table sign showing who has sponsored the table. You can also give them free space in the ad journal if your organization is doing that. If you could get every table sponsored that would alleviate the casino cost and give you that much more of a profit.
Other ways to make money are 50/50's, silent auctions, and the selling of play money.
Selling play money at the event: We recommend at the door to give them $100 in play money with their ticket and or entry. This gives them either 20 minimum $5 bets. If you give them only $100 it increases your chances of selling more money at the event.
In the past, other fundraisers have done the following.
$20 real money equals $100 play money
$40 real money equals $200 play money
$50 real money equal $300 play money
The chip denominations are as follows:
Red chips $5, Green chips $25, Black chips $100
Play money only comes in $100 denominations.
Prizes and Prize Redemption:
There are only some items that cannot be given away as prizes (cash and firearms etc..)
You will have to call the LGCCC at 973-273-8000 to get the complete list of what cannot be auctioned.
Items that are acceptable: Example: tv's, cd players, gift certificates (not redeemable for cash), baskets, etc…We recommend double sided raffle tickets for the redemption of prizes (we will provide). We also recommend the trade in value as follows: $100 play money for 1 double sided raffle ticket, this will keep the chaos of too many tickets down and hopefully increase the number of guests buying more play money in order to obtain more raffle tickets.
Important things to know:
1. Sit down dinner's not recommended, pass around food is the best way to go.
2. The start time of the event should be at least 30 minutes prior to start of casino.
3. Be sure to have a cashier booth or area where guests can redeem chips and tickets

Ladies of Madison County join us for Annie's Project in April and May!
Annie's Project is a six-week intensive agribusiness series for women with a passion for business and involvement, and a desire to increase knowledge and skills. Conducted by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, through a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture, the series helps empower women to manage information systems and to build local networks. Participants will also learn about resources available to them and will discuss topics of importance to their future in agribusiness. Alabama Farm Credit is the sponsor the classes.
Regional Extension agents and agribusiness professionals will team-teach the classes.
"Sessions are on various agribusiness-related topics including: marketing, communications, financial recordkeeping, business planning, insurance, risk management and much more," said Brock.
"The sessions are interactive and the ladies learn from each other as well as the Extension educator. By the end of the six-week series, a strong work and support network is usually formed amongst the women attending," Brock added.
Sessions will run six consecutive Tuesday evenings from 5 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., April 28, May 5, 12, 19, 26 and June 2 at the Charles Stone Agricultural Center at 819 Cook Avenue in Huntsville. A light meal will be provided at each session as well as a training notebook and support materials.
Interested participants may register online at http://goo.gl/UIHnRy. There is a $50 registration fee. Enrollment is limited to 25, so register by April 24.
For more information, contact Theresa Jones, regional Extension agent, at (256) 509-5908 or email email@example.com.
