His fourth artist album, 'Mirage', contains two years of hard work and creativity, coming together in 16 tracks. Collaborations with Christian Burns, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ferry Corsten, Adam Young, BT, Guy Chambers and many other gifted artists, as well as several stunning solo-instrumentals, was the musical journey that Armin completed.

I shot my first Spring NH bird on opening day. I have shot one last fall with my bow incidental to deer hunting and one in Maine last spring but this is my first in NH bird during the spring. I worked in on some gobbling to within 75 yards or so and set out a couple hen decoys in a wood cutting. A couple clucks on the slate got them worked up. I didn't over call them and I went silent for a bit. I could start to hear them working in through the dry leaves. 4 Jakes popped up and milled around the first decoy. I held off hoping a gobbler was in toe. As they were moving to check out the second decoy, I waited until they separated a bit and rolled the first one that cleared. I've got a new born at home so not a lot of time for me to be out there this year. I hit him at 20 yards with #5 HeviShot 3", 2 oz. and my re-vamped Remington 870 Exp Mag with a new Shur Shot stock I added this year along with the 23" Turkey Barrel.

This is a movie that you must have tissues with you,. It sure opens ones eyes and again makes one think more about God and his plans.
- Beautiful! by Shelly on 5/15/2013
I cried so much during this movie. It's very motivational and it encourages you to keep going no matter how things are or look even if every area of your life is being tested it shows the beauty in perseverance because God always has a plan to see you through:) Awesome movie...it's a MUST buy, I tell all my friends to watch it. I have no regrets with this one
- Very Moving! by larsgrl on 2/17/2013
How can you not love this movie?! It is so powerful and really brings answers, God is So Faithful! I watch this when I need a reminder to remember I am a Big Deal to God and to never forget he is always working for my good. It has inspired me and it will for you too!
- the best movie by cbg on 1/20/2013
I love this movie. Every time I feel discouraged I watch this movie because I know this is the way God has worked in my life. I highly reccommend to anyone needing encouragement.My favorite movie
- A Favorite by Sunrise on 9/1/2012
I've watched this movie several times and it's so good I've never gotten tired of it. The characters show warmth and are inspiring.
It is a great example of how "with God all things are possible."
- So good!! by RGRWIFE on 11/19/2011
This movie really makes you think about your life. I have been moved by it to a point that I changed the way I live and I no longer hide the way I feel!!
- Great Family Movie by Todd on 11/11/2011
Even after FireProof and Courageous have come out, this is still my favorite Sherwood film. The Kendrick's do an incredible job in all their movies of telling the story. They have you so involved that you're laughing one minute and crying the next. Not only are the movies entertaining, but they also have great lessons. This one does a great job of getting you to think about the importance of doing your best for God and then leaving the results up to him.

One note, if I may. Make sure there's sufficient time between praising and the next mark.
Praising can increase neural firing, very easily I might add.
Simply wait until the dog is calm before continuing.

Thank you-- I too have a "work in progress" and agree, most of it is anxiety, and much of it IS genetic. It's really obvious when you double up on the darned gene.
Just recently someone told me to simplify everything in training. Do boring marks. Use bumpers, not birds. The rest of what you say just makes a LOT of sense because my 2 that I ran at JH recently were never noisy in training, just at the tests where everything was so much more amped up (and the waits in the holding blinds were sometimes agonizingly long). Now that we are doing doubles, oh my. Both girls finished their their Open obed titles at barely 2 in very few trials, so their formal obed isn't too shabby, but well, they just have a lot to say at times. Thankfully neither are "alpha types" at all, but I'm still thinking it may be 2 yrs before I enter a SH!
Nice post Stan!
I am sure it will make many of us who have vocal dogs think about what we are doing.
And Kudos to your training partners for the patience to allow you to work on Team Elvis's issues!
Well done!
Awesome post Stan, I too have a vocal one. It's an ongoing process and usually my main goal at training is line manners. Singles are very common when we're on the line.
One thing to add to this. If you have a vocal dog, don't do honoring drills with 4 other dogs, duck calls and everything else. Don't ask me how I figured that one out.

Voting history flyer catching recipients by surprise
Information on mailing not necessarily accurate
MADISON, Wis. - Not only are some people reluctant to talk about who they voted for in elections, some are put off by the seemingly more innocuous question of "Did you vote?"
But now neighbors may know the answer to that question without even having to ask.
That's because a flyer revealing who voted in 2010 may have arrived in their mailbox.
More than anything, the mailing certainly catches recipients by surprise.
Meant as an attempt to drive voters to the polls, the mailing uses public information not everyone wants publicized.
Indeed, in a world where so much is impersonal, this last-minute recall flyer is proving all politics are not just local, but personal.
Very personal.
"When I first looked at it, I thought it was kind of interesting, quite honestly," said Sun Prairie's Nancy Thomas.
"It was very interesting, because it lists quite a few neighbors," agreed Carrie Lundgren. "Full legal names, as well as their addresses, and then it lists what elections they voted in."
But the flyer isn't necessarily accurate.
When Lundgren, who lives in Waunakee, pulled the flier out of her mailbox on Friday, she immediately noticed something wrong.
Missing was the fact that she voted in the November 2008 election.
"When in fact I did," said Lundgren. "They only took their information from Wisconsin, and in 2008 I was a resident in Illinois, so to all my neighbors it looks like I didn't vote, although I did."
The mailing is paid for by the Greater Wisconsin Political Fund.
And though Tom Barrett's name is never cited, the flyer does make the point clear that more than half a million voters who cast ballots for President Obama in 2008 didn't vote in 2010.
And that's why, the flyer continues, why Scott Walker was elected governor two years ago.
Lundgren, who supports Gov. Walker, said she got the message.
"To bully neighbors," she believes.
Meanwhile, Nancy Thomas, who does not support Gov. Walker, said she was left with a very different impression.
"Quite honestly, I don't think that's what the intent of it was," Thomas said.
Thomas said she wouldn't mind if the flyer came from the other side of the political fence. She said she just wants every person to make their own personal decision.
"My biggest thing is I want to see people exercise their right to vote," said Thomas.
Just to be clear, the flyer only shows if you voted or not, not who you voted for.
The data can be bought in bulk for the entire state for $12,500.
It isn't clear whether or not that's what the Greater Wisconsin Political Fund, an offshoot of the Greater Wisconsin Committee, did.
Messages left with them were not returned on Sunday.

You are here
Spoleto may have been drawing to a close this weekend, but the party was in full swing at Charles and Celeste Patrick's VIP Party on Friday, June 11. Guests were welcomed at the stunning Battery home with cool, refreshing cocktails before passing under a white tent adorned with chandeliers and pastel origami butterflies.
Party-goers made their way back to mingle in the beautiful, sun-dappled garden and nibble on an assortment of savory and sweet treats ranging from spring rolls to fruit tarts while rehashing favorite Spoleto moments and sipping chilled beverages to beat the heat.
The fabulously dressed crowd filtered in and out throughout the early evening, happy to catch up with friends before dashing off to catch a final Spoleto performance. While those who attended thoroughly enjoyed their evening at the scenic home, everyone was certainly sad to bid farewell to this year's incredible festival.

For anyone thinking of trying for a Wisconsin Wild Turkey Slam. You need to take a bird in each of the four seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Some of the seasons are short (summer-winter), and some are quite long (spring-fall), but it can be done.
Wisconsin is one of the few states that you can take a birds in all four seasons of the year.
Good Luck to everyone successful in trying it.

Planned Giving
Planned Gifts
Rhode Island College's planned giving program is conducted in a confidential manner to assist alumni and friends of the College who want to make gifts of cash, securities, insurance, real estate, or by bequest, life income or a retirement plan. A variety of planned giving instruments provide donors with income for life while delivering significant tax advantages, too. Planned gifts are typically made in support of specific purposes, especially in the area of student and faculty support. They are also used to establish endowments for contributions in perpetuity.
Your Will and Charitable Bequests
A will should always be drawn with the advice of an attorney. This site is intended only to provide general information for those who may wish to make a gift for the benefit of Rhode Island College through their will.
Charitable bequests may be made through the vehicle of a will. Bequests may consist of specific property, real or personal, as well as money. Real property is land and anything that is attached to it. Personal property includes securities, insurance policies, books, antiques, and jewelry. If securities are given, appropriate wording should be used in the will to ensure that liquidation will not reduce the value of the gift you intend. The Rhode Island College Foundation welcomes gifts of real estate, wherever they are located, as long as the Foundation is not required to keep the property.
Gifts by will for Rhode Island College should be made to the Rhode Island College Foundation, which has a charter for this purpose under state law. The Rhode Island College Foundation is a tax-exempt corporation under Subsection 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Service code and is exempt from all state and local taxes. All gifts to the Foundation are approved deductions according to the schedules established under income tax regulations.
Giving Through Your Retirement Plan
Due to the outstanding tax benefits granted to those who use IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and other "qualified pension plans," these instruments have become very popular. Here, for the purposes of convenience, we will refer to all these plans as IRAs. Roth IRA funds avoid income tax and grow tax-free. All other IRAs grow tax deferred with income taxes due only when withdrawals begin.
When passed to a named beneficiary (person, trust, or institution), the IRA does not go through probate. As an example, if a spouse is named as beneficiary in the IRA, he or she can create a "spousal rollover IRA" and have the funds transferred at death to the rollover IRA without paying any tax. The income will be taxable when he or she takes income. The death taxes can be substantial when the second spouse dies.How can you include your IRA as part of your estate plan?
Life Insurance Gifts
Many people own life insurance policies that have outlived their original purpose. Perhaps the mortgage is paid, or the children have graduated and left the nest. This makes insurance an ideal vehicle for making a meaningful gift to the College, perhaps to name an endowed scholarship.
If the College is named as beneficiary of a policy, no income tax deduction is realized because the beneficiary designation can be changed by the owner at a later time. However, transferring the ownership of a cash value policy to the College will generate an income tax deduction roughly equal to the cash surrender value, as it is an irrevocable gift. Future premiums made by the donor will also be tax deductible, and the policy proceeds will not be included in the donor's estate.
There are three ways to make a gift of insurance to the College:
- Donate a fully paid policy naming the RIC Foundation as owner and beneficiary
- Donate a policy in which premiums are still owed and name the RIC Foundation as irrevocable owner. Payments made to RIC by the donors are then passed on to the insurance company, allowing the donor to take a tax deduction.
- Purchase a new policy and name the RIC Foundation as irrevocable owner and beneficiary.

Years ago Spotted Owl habitat was a big issue. In order to cure the so-called loss of prime habitat for this owl large areas of old growth timber were declared off limits to logging as it is with all protected species. The enviro's declaring that was what was needed to protect the owl, more recently it's shoot the Barred Owl as the Spotted Owl can't compete.
This resulted in tens of thousands lost jobs in the forest products industry, towns going from thriving to being on life support & prices driven higher all the way through the chain causing money to be spent for a more precious product. So now there is just more fuel for the forest fires.
The other night the boss calls to me to come & look at this - turns out to be a Spotted Owl sitting on a snag on our wood pile less than 50' from our house. We live in an open field woodsy area that has been logged at least 3 times in the last 150 years, there is no old growth around.
So if the experts are right, why are there any Spotted Owls in our neighborhood? & if the experts are not right, who suffered because of that, certainly not the experts?
Just to be sure I cut off the end of the snag that the Owl roosted on for storage & potential positive DNA verification. Everyone knows only the experts are right .

Mercury is the most toxic of the heavy metals. All marine sources of essential fatty acids contain mercury. There is krill oil that has been proven to much more superior to fish oil. If you want a source that does not contain mercury you want a plant based essential fatty acids such as hemp seed, or flax seed. Hemp seed I believe contains a full spectrum of 3-6-9 fatty acids. Here's a link with some info on the different sources. Mercury or heavy metal poisoning can cause serious mental and physical conditions, so educate your self on the different sources and pick the one you feel comfortable giving to your dogs.

Established in 1943, the 6,368-acre Travis Air Force Base is home to the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the 349th Air Mobility Wing, the 621st Contingency Response Wing, and the David Grant Medical Center. Travis Air Force Base participates in the Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), formally the Installation Restoration Program (IRP), a specially funded program established by the Department of Defense (DOD) in 1978 to identify, investigate, and control the migration of hazardous contaminants at military and other DOD facilities. Approximately 27,600 people live within one mile of the site, and 400 people obtain drinking water from wells within three miles of the base.
Previously identified contaminated areas include three landfills, four fire training areas where combustible wastes were burned, a radioactive burial site, a solvent spill area that used volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to clean metal parts, and a storm sewer system that may have received contaminants from multiple locations.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Surface Water
- Soil and Sludges
- Environmentally Sensitive Area
The groundwater is primarily contaminated with various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and petroleum products. VOCs were also found in Union Creek, although VOC concentrations decreased after groundwater extraction and treament (GET) operations commenced. Land use restrictions are in place to mitigate potential risks associated with metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contamination in soil. Two vapor intrusion assessments concluded that there was no risk associated with contaminated vapors from VOC plumes to base personnel in existing buildings, but land use restrictions will be used to mitigate potential vapor intrusion risks to personnel in facilities that are built in the future over VOC plumes.
People may face a health risk if they accidentally ingest or come in direct contact with contaminated groundwater, surface water, or soil, however restrictions are in place to prevent this from occurring. Contamination could also pose a threat to Suisun Marsh, a major coastal wetland located near the site, if unaddressed.
Who is Involved
This site is being addressed by the Air Force pursuant to a 1990 Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) with the EPA and the State Regulatory Agencies. A Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) was established by the AF in 1994 to ensure that input from the community is considered in restoration decisions.
Investigation and Cleanup Activities
In 1983, the AF initiated the Installation Restoration Program (IRP), now the Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), to investigate the nature and extent of hazardous waste releases to the environment. Travis AFB was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1989. Initially, Travis Air Force Base was treated as a single investigative area with one comprehensive cleanup schedule. Over time, several operable units were created to address cleanup of the soil and groundwater sites more efficiently: East Industrial Area (EIOU), West Industrial Area (WIOU), Northeast Corner (NOU), and West/Annexes/Basewide (WABOU). The EIOU, WIOU, and NOU were combined in 1995 into the composite North, East, West Industrial Operable Unit (NEWIOU) to save over $500,000 and a significant amount of time. A Record of Decision (ROD) was completed in 2002 addressing soils at WABOU, and a ROD was completed in 2006 addressing soils, sediments and surface water for the NEWIOU. A Final Record of Decision addressing groundwater sites at both the NEWIOU and WABOU was completed in 2014.
Remaining contaminated areas at the site that have not yet completed investigation activities include the off-base Potrero Hills Annex (currently being investigated under a State Water Board Order) contaminated with perchlorate in soils and groundwater, and drinking water facilities Site TA500 contaminated with fluoride. The annexes are parcels of land, located apart from the main installation, that come under the jurisdiction of the Travis Base Commander. Skeet ranges are also undergoing evaluation for removal of contaminated soils in areas that are no longer active.
Initial Actions
Initial Actions:
Between approximately 1983 and 1994, early efforts were conducted to assess the nature of environmental contamination at Travis AFB. Twenty-seven underground storage tanks were initially removed from the base in 1986.
Site Studies
Environmental concerns in the East Industrial Area include four fighter training areas, a gas station complex, an inactive sewage treatment plant, a jet fuel spill area and solvent spills. The Air Force began investigating the nature and extent of contamination at these areas in 1990.
The northeast corner of Travis Air Force Base is composed of two landfills that operated from 1942 to 1974. The landfills were primarily used to dispose of base refuse. The Air Force began investigating these landfills in early 1994.
The West Industrial Area consists of a skeet range, two small arms training ranges, solvent spill areas, former landfill sites, a 1950 B-29 crash site, and buildings that formed the Fairfield Air Force Station. After a thorough investigation of the B-29 crash site, Air Force concluded there was no contamination from hazardous or radiological waste.
Additional remedial investigations have been completed to further characterize the nature and extent of contaminated soils and groundwater.
Remedy Selected
Records of Decision for soil remedial actions were selected for the WABOU in 2002 and the NEWOU in 2006 to achieve at least industrial cleanup levels. Interim groundwater remedial actions (IRAs) were selected for the WABOU in 1999 and the NEWOU in 1997.
Cleanup Ongoing
At the Old Skeet Range, the AF is conducting a removal of soil contaminated with polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) according to a Non Time-Critical Removal Action Memorandum decision completed in September 2013. Lead is also being addressed, but will not be completely addressed until the Active Skeet Range is closed and all of the PAH and lead can be investigated and cleaned up.
Cleanup Complete
NEWIOU and WABOU Soil OUs: Soil remedial actions in the were completed by December 2007 at most of the sites in the WABOU and NEWIOU according to the Soils Record of Decisions (See Remedy Selected, above). Most of the contaminated soil were excavated and consolidated to an area called a Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU). Soil with contaminant concentrations that exceeded the CAMU acceptance levels were taken to an approved off-base disposal facility. Remedial Action Completion was achieved for the WABOU in 2008, and NEWIOU in 2012. Residential cleanup levels (unrestricted land use) were achieved at the majority of the soil sites, and Institutional Controls (ICs) have been put in place to restrict land use for sites that did not achieve residential cleanup levels. The AF is currently evaluating additional cleanup measures to restore certain sites to residential cleanup levels and remove the ICs. Proposed Plans to Amend the RODs for each soil OU were issued to the public for comment in April 2015. Additional site characterization is being conducted in 2016 by the Air Force to determine the extent of the areas that are above residential cleanup levels.
Remedy Selected
Groundwater OUs: Groundwater interim remedial actions (IRA) were conducted at multiple sites through two groundwater Interim RODs (See Remedy Selected, above). The groundwater IRAs were a combination of pump and treat with using Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) to achieve following interim objectives: source control; migration control and; hydraulic containment for off-base plumes. The treatment systems have been in place since January 1996 and have removed over 15,000 pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
A Proposed Plan for final groundwater remedies that would establish requirements to cleanup groundwater to drinking water standards was completed in October 2012 and issued for public comment. The AF drafted a Record of Decision (ROD) in January 2013, and a final Basewide Groundwater ROD was signed by all regulatory agencies in June 2014. The Groundwater ROD selects the cleanup remedies for 19 contaminated groundwater sites, including the land use controls that will protect human health and the environment until drinking water standards are reached. Many of the selected remedies use innovative technologies that have been shown to be effective through on-base demonstration projects and apply Green and Sustainable Remediation principles to reduce their carbon footprints and energy usage. For example, injections of emulsified vegetable oil are being used to enhance the natural microbiological activity and address higher concentrations of VOCs through "Enhanced Reductive Dechlorination (ERD)", a process that breaks down VOC contaminants.
The AF initiated fieldwork in 2015 to complete the expansion of various groundwater remedial systems to meet the requirements of the final Groundwater ROD. It is expected that the majority of treatment systems will be fully optimized by the end of 2016.
Cleanup Results to Date
The removal of underground storage tanks, decreased groundwater contamination from the operation of groundwater extraction and treatment (GET) systems, and completion of remedial actions at all soil and sediment sites have reduced the potential for exposure to contaminants at Travis AFB. The base constructed a Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) on top of a closed landfill to support the cleanup of some soil sites, and the remaining soil sites are managed through land use restrictions.
Plumes at most groundwater sites are decreasing in size and concentration, and the Air Force's overall groundwater cleanup approach promotes the use of Green and Sustainable Remediation strategies and is documented in the 2014 Basewide Groundwater Record of Decision (ROD). Soil remedial actions at the WABOU and NEWIOU have been completed.
Travis AFB's third 5-Year Review, completed in September 2013, evaluated the effectiveness of the remedies for protectiveness of human health and the environment. EPA concurred that there were no short term protectiveness issues, and that long term protectiveness will be ensured by the selection and successful implementation of groundwater remedies in the Basewide Groundwater ROD.
Potentially Responsible Parties
Potentially responsible parties (PRPs) refers to companies that are potentially responsible for generating, transporting, or disposing of the hazardous waste found at the site.
The Air Force is the PRP for the site.

Mellon Mays program cultivates diverse future scholars
Posted January 23, 2014; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton University senior Edwin Carbajal has always been a diligent student, but it was through the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship that he became a dedicated scholar.
Carbajal is one of 11 current Princeton undergraduates participating in the national program. By encouraging underrepresented and other students to pursue a career in academia, the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) aims to increase the diversity of faculty at colleges and universities across the country.
"Mellon Mays has enhanced my passion for research and academia, and offered me incredible opportunities to grow as a person and specialist in my field," said Carbajal, an ecology and evolutionary biology major.

The program has allowed Carbajal to learn firsthand what it means to be a professional scholar through lab work, field studies, conferences and collaborations with his faculty mentor, Andrea Graham.
"Mellon Mays has allowed Edwin to be broad and deep in his own studies, as well as to have the flexibility and opportunity to see scientists at work in a way that I think is very rare for undergraduates to witness," said Graham, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Mellon Mays program facilitates funding for undergraduate research and graduate school studies that prepare students for professorial careers. Fellows may take advantage of professional development programs, career networks and other resources during their academic journeys.
Fellowships are available to students at 42 colleges and universities across the United States and in South Africa, as well as students selected from a consortium of 39 historically black colleges and universities.
"The institutions that are involved in this program are integrally part of the conversation about what it means to diversify the professoriate and to ensure students' success in completing what we know is a very hard thing to do — earning a doctoral degree," said Armando Bengochea, the Mellon Foundation's director of the MMUF program and a graduate alumnus of Princeton.
Princeton President Emeritus William G. Bowen led the Mellon Foundation when the fellowship was established in the 1988-89 academic year, and Princeton was among the first schools to participate. Since then, 127 Princetonians have been selected as Mellon Mays fellows.
"Given the underrepresentation of minority faculty, it is important for Princeton to encourage students interested in academic careers to consider this path with seriousness," said Associate Dean of the College Diane McKay, who coordinates Princeton's MMUF program with Judith Weisenfeld, a professor of religion.

Students may apply for the fellowship at the end of their sophomore year. The Office of the Dean of the College will hold an information session for interested sophomores at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, in West College, Room 111.
While the program's focus is to support students of color, anyone with a demonstrated commitment to promoting diverse learning experiences in higher education is welcome to apply. Mellon Mays offers funding for students studying a designated set of fields in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.
"Princeton students' participation in Mellon Mays will help lead to a more diverse pool of future faculty members at universities across the country," McKay said.
Nearly 700 Mellon Mays fellows are enrolled in doctoral programs, according to Bengochea. Several hundred former fellows are now teaching at schools across the country, including many Princeton alumni.
Class of 1992 graduate Maurice Stevens, an associate professor of comparative studies at Ohio State University, credits the fellowship with establishing his identity as an academic.
"By taking myself and other students of color seriously as scholars, the Mellon Mays program allowed me to develop tremendously while at Princeton. This made it possible for me to go on and succeed in graduate school," Stevens said. "My continued contact with other fellows has contributed to my career and scholarly development to an immeasurable degree."
Mentorship and support
A keystone of the Mellon Mays program at Princeton is mentorship. Each undergraduate fellow has a faculty mentor who provides insight into life as a professor.
"You can't underestimate the importance of one-on-one mentorship," said Assistant Professor of Religion Jessica Delgado, who mentors Mellon Mays fellow Estela Diaz.
Diaz, a senior sociology major, said her relationship with Delgado goes beyond a typical advising role. Princeton students may select their own mentor, who does not need to be in the same academic department as their major.

"My parents are from Mexico and they didn't go to high school," Diaz said. "I did not have much perspective [growing up] about what it really means to go to graduate school. A lot of my conversations with Professor Delgado are very free form. I learned about her journey to becoming a professor. We talk about how you get into graduate school and look for a job afterward, work-life balance issues or submitting papers to journals."
Diaz said the practical career advice from Delgado complements the research-focused guidance from her senior thesis adviser, Paul Willis, a lecturer with the rank of professor in sociology. Diaz's thesis examines gender identity development in preschools based on her observations of schools in New Jersey and Sweden.
"Because Princeton already requires undergraduates to conduct independent research, Mellon Mays mentors and fellows here have the flexibility to go beyond specific academic interests," Diaz said.
Delgado said she hopes to be an advocate for Diaz long after she graduates from Princeton.
"The transition from undergraduate to graduate school can be really challenging for anybody, and there are a lot of tools I can give Estela based on my experience," Delgado said. "Becoming a professor is not just about being intellectual. Like any career, you have to develop certain skills and knowledge to help you navigate and succeed in the profession."
For Carbajal, the Mellon Mays program has afforded opportunities that may have otherwise been out of reach. Carbajal's interests are in immunology and infectious diseases, and his senior thesis examines predictors of the Hantavirus infection in deer mice.
With funding from Mellon Mays and guidance from Graham and her collaborators, Carbajal has spent a summer conducting field research at the Mountain Lake Biological Station in Virginia; attended the annual Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disease Conference at Pennsylvania State University; and presented work at an undergraduate research conference in Tennessee sponsored by the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS).
"It has been absolutely incredible to make connections with other scientists and professors in my field," Carbajal said. "I presented some of my research at a conference poster session and people would walk by and provide me with valuable feedback."
Graham said she thinks Carbajal's completed thesis research could become one, or even two, published papers.
"That is the kind of scientific output that graduate schools will look for and others will look for on his CV for the rest of his career," she said.
On campus, Carbajal is among the undergraduates who work in Graham's lab. He also attends her weekly lab group meetings with postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.
"As someone who intends to stay in academia, it's been great for Edwin to see how science is really practiced," Graham said. "It's via informal, collegial and often messy conversations that researchers often figure out how to solve a problem."
Carbajal and Diaz said they plan to apply to doctoral programs in their fields within the next two years.

'Part of a family'
In addition to their individual work, Mellon Mays fellows at Princeton meet for monthly programs on topics such as applying to graduate school or for postgraduate fellowships. The program also offers funding for students to attend the Mellon Mays' regional conference, where undergraduates network with other students, present papers and attend workshops.
"It was amazing to meet with other fellows every month and share our experiences. I learned so much from them," said Prachi Parihar, a Class of 2013 graduate and first-year doctoral candidate in astronomy at the California Institute of Technology.
Class of 1997 graduate Gene Andrew Jarrett, professor and chair of the Department of English at Boston University, continues to participate in Mellon Mays conferences and networking events.
"The professional relationships I established as an undergraduate through Mellon Mays have persisted for decades," Jarrett said.
During the summer, Mellon Mays also supports undergraduates to conduct research, study abroad or take classes. Fellows may attend the MMUF Summer Research Training Program at the University of Chicago. The nine-week program focuses on the academic, social and practical skills needed to pursue a career in the academy.
"It was 15 to 20 undergraduates from different schools coming together as colleagues. We were reading each other's work, giving each other ideas and suggesting other readings," said Diaz, who attended the Chicago program this past summer. "At the same time, we were sharing our own insecurities about what it means to be a student of color pursuing an academic career."
Diaz was so inspired by her experience that she organizes tea talks on campus where students can share personal stories and build a community they may rely on well into the future.
"You constantly meet other Mellon fellows while working in the academy," said Class of 2005 graduate Theri Pickens, an assistant professor of English at Bates College. "Being a Mellon is like being part of a family — you have that connection for life."

I think the penalities on Coach Payton were too harsh compared to what others have been punished for in the NFL. I doubt he will return for the 2013 season. Loomis thought the bounties ended after the 09 season and Payton didn't think it was that big of a deal because he knew that most other teams do the same in one form or the other. Maybe not administered by the DC but they all want to deliver "remember me shots". The Saints are talking with Parcells about coaching the entire 2012 season.
I expect LB Vilma to be fined heavily and suspended. Because of his knees, he was going to be released anyway to make cap room. It was Vilma that offered 10k of his own money to anyone that could knock Farve out of the game. Fujita was signed by the Browns after the 09 season. Porter just signed with the Broncos and I'm not sure who else might have been involved. Will D players now play with the thought that they can't make a big hit for fear of big fines? Probably so for all D players on every team.
I've been vocal here on RTF in the past about my concerns of the direction that Goodell is taking the NFL. No doubt that with the Class Action suits that he is over-reacting.

Me and Katie were trying to deciding whether or not to attempt catching the Sao Paulo bus system from the airport to the hotel and agreed that we would see how we felt when we got there. Well, we arrived in Sao Paulo at around 9am, as we flew over the city we resolved that decision immediately, from the overwhelming size of the city. As far as the eye could see, there was semi-highrise, highrise and buildings, buildings, buildings everywhere. You could almost fathom the fact that 11 million people reside in that 1 city.
We met a lady in the plane called Nellie who has a holiday house in Florianopolis where we are heading after Curitiba for a week. She gave us her number and we may meet up with her while we are there. She was a handy contact on the plane when we were trying to figure out what to do next after the spanish and portuguese plane and airport annoncements. She just so happened to speak English, Portuguese and Spanish.
We had a great little place in Sao Paulo (I have put some photos in) which had a window that opened up onto a market avenue which was a very cool, busy and lively strip. Both nights we had live Brazialian music blasting around the whole place until around mid-night which was fine by us the first night. We had some fun trying to comunicate our desired food choice in Portuguese mixed with English for lunch but they have all been extremely friendly so far.
The second day in Sao Paulo was a great start with the free breakfast included in our accommodation. We then hit the streets with a few goals in mind - exchanging money and buying a powerpoint adapter etc. This was a fun and interesting experience. Everyday we get beter at comunicating in Portuguese because we both love learning it and pull out our little lonely planet portuguese guide and have a bit of a read when ever we get back to our accommodation and have a second to spare.
Poor Katie started feeling a bit sickly around 10am that day and it got progressively worse. We ended up in our apartment through the arvo and night while she had a crazy system clearing session, until around 11pm. Though the spewing etc. stopped, it was mostly a sleepless night. We think it was just a bad bug - she says it was worse then her vomiting bug in India which is a big statement from what I have heard.
So it has now been 3 sleepless nights and we are definately feeling it a bit. The 2 plane trips and the mega Kato detoxing diet. We considered staying in Sao Paulo for another night while Katie recovered a bit more, but decided we wanted out, so we are heading down to Curitiba for 2 nights. We cant wait to get out of the huge city and into the supposedly eco-friendly Curitiba (pronounced Kur-ree-che-ba). Our bus left around 11 and we rode in upper class (exicutivo) style while Katie recovered.
All in all, Sao Paulo was pretty over-whelming in size - Probably not the best place to start out but it was good to have seen and experienced it a tiny bit. In future, we would catch a connecting flight straight to our final destination I think.

Debate on Pledge of Allegiance in Vt. town
The Associated Press November 14, 2008
WOODBURY No one's sure when daily recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance fell by the wayside at Woodbury Elementary School.
But efforts to restore them have erupted into a bitter dispute in this tiny (pop. 810) Vermont town, with school officials blocking the exercise from classrooms amid concerns that it holds nonparticipating children up to scorn.
Supporters say the classroom is the place for it, and the disagreement has fueled an increasingly acrimonious debate.
Simple Steps that Will Slow the Signs of Aging
Economy Squeezing Your Insurance Budget? Think Term Life
Working Moms Can Win a $10,000 Scholarship
"The whole thing is tearing our community apart," said Heather Lanphear, 39, the mother of a first-grade student.
Unlike other Pledge controversies, this one centers on how and where schoolchildren say it, not whether they should be allowed to.
In 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that schoolchildren can opt out of reciting the pledge for religious reasons.
Sixty-one years later, the court said a California father couldn't challenge the Pledge of Allegiance, reversing a lower-court decision saying teacher-led Pledge recitals in public schools were unconstitutional. That case involved an atheist who didn't want his third-grader to have to listen to the phrase "under God."
But it didn't rule on the constitutionality of compulsory recitation.
The brouhaha in the Vermont school began in September, when parent Ted Tedesco began circulating petitions calling for its return as a daily practice in the 19th-century schoolhouse, which has 55 children in grades kindergarten through six.
School officials agreed to resume the pledge as a daily exercise, but not in the classroom.
"We don't want to isolate children every day in their own classroom, or make them feel they're different," said Principal Michaela Martin.
Instead, starting last week, a sixth grade student was assigned to go around to the four classrooms before classes started, gathering up anyone who wanted to say it and then walking them up creaky wooden steps to a second-floor gymnasium, where he led them in the pledge.
About half the students chose to participate, according to Martin.
Tedesco, 55, a retired U.S. Marine Corps major, and others who signed his petitions didn't like that solution, calling it disruptive to routine and inappropriate because it put young children in the position of having to decide between pre-class play time and leaving the classroom to say the Pledge.
"Saying the Pledge in the classroom is legal, convenient and traditional," said Tedesco. "Asking kindergarten through sixth graders who want to say the Pledge to leave their classrooms to do so is neither convenient nor traditional."
Martin and School Board Chair Retta Dunlap defended the practice, saying it restored the Pledge to the school as requested, preserved the rights of students who for political or religious reasons didn't want to participate and gave others the opportunity to pledge their allegiance.
"I was happy to have it upstairs. I think it's important that all the kids share in it together," said parent Ellen Demers, 42.
On Friday, the routine changed again.
Just before 8 a.m., Martin herded all the school's students and a handful of adults into a cramped foyer that adjoins the first-floor classrooms and told sixth-grader Nathan Gilbert, 12, to lead them in the Pledge.
Most recited it; some didn't.
Afterward, 10 adults streamed down the steps and outside, forming a circle around Dunlap for a heated discussion in which they pressed for an explanation of why it couldn't be said in the classrooms.
The format is up to teachers, not administrators or parents, Dunlap said.
"The children will get used to it, and they'll know what's expected of them," she said.
In an interview, Martin said the point of having the whole school gather for the Pledge was to protect children who don't participate in it.
"If you're in a classroom with 15 students and you choose not to say the Pledge, it's much more obvious than a group setting. When they're saying it in a group of 55, it's may not be so obvious. We don't want to isolate children," she said.
Tedesco pulled his two children out of the school last week, but he says the reason was the school's declining scores on standardized tests, not the Pledge issue. He plans to continue lobbying for classroom recitation.
"There's no way a heckler's veto should abridge the constitutional rights of the majority," he said.

Semmy Schilt; Possibly Not Invited to the World Grand Prix
- Written by Dave Walsh
We are just two weeks away from the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16 and are still without any definitive announcement from K-1, including fight card, participants and possible television deals. If FEG were known to conduct business in any other way this would be incredibly alarming, but K-1 has always been known to make major announcements at the last minute, leaving everyone from the media, fans, managers and even fighters hanging, waiting for word.
An article came out today about Semmy Schilt, the four-time K-1 World Grand Prix Champion and currently LiverKick.com's #1 Ranked Heavyweight/Super Heavyweight Kickboxer. Our choice of Semmy Schilt has raised some questions, but with Alistair Overeem under a Zuffa contract and the one year mark rapidly approaching for Kickboxing inactivity it seems only fair to not include him, and Peter Aerts had stated that 2010 would be his last World Grand Prix, while Sem Schilt has made no public announcement about even considering retirement. If Peter Aerts does indeed participate in the K-1 World Grand Prix and Semmy Schilt does not, then we will indeed need to re-evaluate the Heavyweight/Super Heavyweight field, but until then it is up in the air.
This article stated that the four-time champion was not invited by K-1 to participate in the World Grand Prix, which for a fighter of his value would be a first. This is not news after seeing the leaked list of possible participants in the event, and the article does insinuate that It's Showtime's assistance might be a cause for Sem Schilt not being involved, with Golden Glory being his management, but there have been reports that Bas Boon and Golden Glory have been in talks with FEG since the event was announced, although nothing between the two parties has yet to materialize.
Sem Schilt would add instant credibility to the tournament and be one of the favorites to win the entire tournament if included, but as of press time it is not clear if we'll see Sem fighting for K-1 again or not. Odds are Schilt is on the long list of fighters yet to be paid by FEG, which could be causing some problems. [source]

My worst experiences have been outside of games.
The OP wasn't talking about working conditions so much as creative freedom and the drive to produce shlock that consumers will buy en masse. Nobody really disputes that industry working conditions could use some help in a lot of studios, but then, there's also terrible places to work outside of games as well, so... meh.
Inside games I have had relatively good management, well-scoped projects, and managers who were understanding about QoL issues.
Outside games I have had bosses who didn't understand what a five-day work week was about, who felt that federal labor laws for overtime were overbearing.
I've learned what to look for when it comes to QoL. It applies both inside and outside the industry:
The biggest factors are average age of the workers and turnover rates. Low turnover and older workers means they treat people well. Most older people don't put up with that kind of crap for long. If the company manages to retain older and experienced workers then they are generally doing many things right.
Pulling back on topic, the creative juices for a multi-million dollar AAA project flow very differently than the creative juices from a 3-person team. The former has the original designers and producers craft their idea into a snowball, and eventually it turns into an avalanche where nobody has much input on its direction. It gets big, it gets awesome, it will impact millions, but somewhere along the line everyone's individual creativity gets subsumed. The latter is more like a block of marble and some chisels. They can take all the time they need to develop their art, and be the only ones interested in its success or failure. Hopefully they can craft a piece of art, but odds are it will die in obscurity.
The vast majority of games are tiny (often incomplete) art pieces that nobody has heard of, and nobody ever will.
The larger games that is known by many hundred million people have grown into money-needing creations like you describe. You may not like the way they grew, but big budgets (and therefore monetization) is the only reliable way they can reach the masses.

Premature celebration
Question: what do you do when, after three years of almost exclusively sitting on the bench for a mediocre NBA team — and looking good only very occasionally in garbage-time, regular-season games against the likes of bad teams such as Seattle and New Orleans — your team decides to offer you, a mere 20 year old, $12.5 million over five years?
The answer is easy: you run out to Thomas Circle in Northwest DC and you proposition an undercover policewoman from the anti-prostitution squad. And not only do you do this, but you make sure to do it before you actually sign the deal, so that your GM can suddenly stop answering your agent's calls while he decides exactly how much to knock off the offer he made you the day before.
Only in the NBA does a kid with exactly six double-digit scoring games under his belt and an outstanding arrest warrant get offered $12.5 million. But that's what happened this past week to promising but troubled Washington Wizards forward Andray Blatche, the latest in a long line of lanky young ballers to carry the mantle of the "next KG." A 6-11 string-bean with a silky J and no D whatsoever, Blatche averaged 3.7 points per game this past year — less than two baskets a game.
Blatche's career has been marked by a couple of ugly incidents: he was shot in an apparent carjacking prior to his rookie season, and he was also arrested for driving without a license in October 2006. Blatche could get 90 days in jail and a $500 fine — maybe Wiz GM Ernie Grunfeld will take that out of his deal — and, as punishment, he may also have to go through a one-day "John course," basically a sensitivity seminar about the evils of prostitution.
As of press time, however, an unconfirmed report out of Syracuse was claiming that Blatche wasn't booked on solicitation charges, but for an outstanding warrant on his driving-without-a-license charge. A friend who was with him at the time of the arrest was the one arrested for attempted hooker loving, Blatche told a local Syracuse TV station. The Wizards haven't commented on this latest development, and previous reports of his arrest were confirmed by police spokespersons, so who knows how this will turn out? Blatche is due in court on August 31.
In any case, it's worth noting that solicitation busts are common in pro sports. The rule of thumb — or whatever part of the body is a more appropriate substitution in this case — seems to be that solicitation charges result in firings for assistant coaches, mild fines or suspensions for scrub players, and slaps on the wrist or no punishment at all for head coaches and/or good players. Former fullback and Bill Parcells favorite Richie Anderson was fired from an assistant-coaching gig by the Arizona Cardinals earlier this year for soliciting a hooker. On the other hand, the Atlanta Falcons were hours away from the Super Bowl some years back when safety Eugene Robinson celebrated his receipt of the annual "Bart Starr Award" (given by the religious group Athletes in Action to the athlete who shows "high moral character") by going out and offering an undercover cop 40 bucks for a blowjob. No suspension ensued, and Robinson was eventually burned in the big game by Rod Smith for an 80-yard TD (two yards for each dollar offered by the cheapskate hypocrite).

Buffalo Bills Cuts, Predictions and Super Bowl Pick
Posted on 4 Sep 2012 by Norm Duhamel.
The way I see it, going winless in the preseason was a good thing. The Bills were able to get all the losing and bad players out of the way and are now ready to go full tilt this Sunday against the Jets. Were you surprised by the cuts? The biggest surprise for me was back up defensive lineman Dwan Edwards. Good Luck! Cutting Edwards frees up about 5 million, which now can be used to secure som...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Former Steeler and Penn State running back Franco Harris and documentarian John Ziegler attended a Los Angeles event today to ask NCAA president Mark Emmert a question about the Penn State sanctions, and the police were called after Ziegler and others with him refused to stop recording with a handheld camera.
The watch commander for the Rampart Community Police of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed officers from his department visited the site, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, to respond to a disturbance and that no one was arrested. The NCAA did not immediately return a call seeking comment, nor did a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
The watch commander said the police were called after the Chamber of Commerce asked Ziegler and others with him to stop recording the event. Ziegler said he was told in advance he could bring handheld cameras. He said four people had cameras and that Harris didn't.
A Chamber of Commerce web page said Emmert was to speak on the NCAA's efforts to embrace academics and to protect and sustain the collegiate student-athlete model. During the question and answer portion of the event, Ziegler said Harris asked Emmert a question about Penn State, along the lines of "why Joe Paterno didn't get any due process." Ziegler said he was asked to stop recording by NCAA representatives after Harris asked that question.
After Emmert was done speaking for the event, Ziegler said, Harris approached him to ask a follow-up question about suggesting Emmert speak to the committee on infractions regarding the Penn State sanctions. Ziegler said Emmert gave a quick response and then immediately left through a back door. He said NCAA representatives attempted to block him from recording the follow-up question. The police, Ziegler said, didn't arrive until after Emmert had left.
Harris lives in Pittsburgh. Ziegler said Harris flew to Los Angeles to attend the event on 36-hour notice.
Ziegler operates the website framingpaterno.com and has released a "mini-movie" about Joe Paterno and what he characterizes as unfair treatment of the former coach with regards to the Jerry Sandusky scandal.psusports

In Israel, a land that has been at history's crossroads for millennia, civilizations have made their mark, literally speaking, in ruins at hundreds of impressive sites. Thanks to archaeology, these remnants – from massive gates and ramparts to delicate and precious jewelry, from mysterious inscriptions to cave-hideaways and water systems – have come to light, and leave you marveling at the achievements of the ancients in whose footsteps you walk.
It is the privilege and passion of Israel's archaeologists to uncover, conserve and display the finds that showcase Israel's multicultural past and the rich history of the three monotheistic faiths that took root here. Israel's archaeological wonders begin with pre-history, and the remains of early humans found on Mount Carmel and the Nazareth mountains. The hallmarks of the Hebrew Scriptures are everywhere, from the triple-arched gateway at Dan, dating to the time of Abraham (Gen. 14:14), to the ancient well at Beersheba, a city founded by the first patriarch (Gen. 21:31). Tel Tzafit in central Israel's Philistine country is believed to be Gat, Goliath's hometown (1 Sam 17:4). The Dead Sea Scrolls, on display and the Israel Museum's Shrine of the Book, are arguably one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. New Testament finds brings alive the story of Jesus at Jerusalem's Pool of Siloam, Korazim, Bethsaida, the Galilee Boat, and more. The Islamic experience has come to light in monuments like the White Mosque in the seventh-century city of Ramla and the medieval buildings still in use in Jerusalem and Acre, among other places.
A number of these treasures have been named UNESCO World Heritage Sites, among them the biblical tells of Megiddo, Hazor and Beersheba, the Incense Route – Desert Cities in the Negev, the commercial hubs of antiquity, the Old City of Acre, and the Herodian ruins and heroic story of Massada, with many additional sites proposed.
Archaeologists and restorers in Israel work tirelessly to bring these and other sites alive with innovative interpretation. The Roman and Byzantines periods come alive thanks to the fine reconstruction and beautiful signs along the touring routes at Caesarea and Bet Shean national parks. The Davidson Center, showcasing pilgrimage to the Temple at Jerusalem's Southern Wall Archaeological Park, was built carefully into the basement of an eighth-century palace. Sculptures echoing ancient themes adorn the ruins of the First-Temple era palace at Ramat Rachel near Jerusalem. The audio-visual presentation at Beit Alfa introduces you to the "synagogue board" who commissioned its colorful mosaic and to its artist. At Tzippori, costumed actors regale visitors among the ruins with stories of bygone days, and at Nazareth Village, meticulous reconstruction highlights daily life in Jesus' time.
The Israel Museum, the Rockefeller and the Biblelands museums in Jerusalem, Haaretz Museum (part of which is an actual ancient Philistine city) and the University of Haifa's Hecht Museum display some of the world's greatest collections of antiquities. Smaller archaeological collections, such as the one at Kibbutz Galed or Kibbutz Ein Shemer, show the love of Israelis for their antiquities right in their "neighborhood."
Israel also offers you the opportunity to share in the excitement and pride of uncovering Israel's past by volunteering at a dig. Contact the Israel Antiquities Authority.

Damn Tycho I dont know what to say man, I am actually lost for words.
My wishes are with you and I hope everything goes ok.
Damn Tycho I dont know what to say man, I am actually lost for words.
My wishes are with you and I hope everything goes ok.
I would like to thank these people - Jediguy, El Chuxter
Oh, man, I can't tell you how much it sucks to hear that, but at least it's not totally off the table. Is the whole situation with your immune system something they just discovered yesterday?
That's my jacket!
Yes. When a mint-fresh blood sample was taken from me and my donor, they could do their best testing for a reaction.
Tycho, I hope everything works out for you despite the recent setbacks.
I was going to post this in the TF movie thread but I might as well do it here. So it appears that a TF movie ride will be constructed and then opened at Universal Studios in 2011. I would love to join you when you come to ride it!
Cool - about the Transformers ride. But TF is Paramount, not Universal???
The super immune system is the first step. Learn to regenerate next and you'll be ready for adamantium claws.
it sucks that you've got to endure even more pain and discomfort after all that you've gone through. but if means the transplant is more likely to succeed it'll be worth it. just keep remembering all those plans for dioramas.
*crosses fingers*
I had really hoped this would be over for you, and that by now you would be sitting in the hospital in recovery. I'm a bit saddened, but hopefully optimistic that together you can rule the galaxy with donor and recipient!
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!
Be an organ donor, save lives!
I hope you have a speedy recovery and can get those damned things out as soon as possible. That's no way to have to spend a day, much less years of your life. I won't tell you to be positive, because what you are dealing with is completely beyond my comprehension and it seems a bit crass to say such a thing, but it is my wish that you are back to normal as soon as can be. Hopefully, the light is visible at the end of the tunnel.
Peeps who have hooked me up: General Grievous Dark Marble jjreason Ramy GrandMoffLouie Josephe vader121 Val Da Car
I've now spent 3 YEARS with a growing belly because my kidneys got so swollen and bloated, they pushed my stomach and intestines further and further forward, so it looks like I'm pregnant.
In other threads we all have talked a lot about women. Our relationships with them are very important to a lot of us guys. For the most part, I am only left to contend with my ex's who knew me when I was normal once upon a time, and now feel sorry for me and/or want closure from our past experiences.
However, I'm really trying (harder than I'd ever had to) in order to meet new ladies for companionship and more. What that winds up meaning, is that I'm a fun diversion from relationships they are already in, and I think they feel safe having a fling with me, because initially they think that they'd never really take me seriously as a prospective boyfriend. Translate that however you will.
But back to what many will regard as more important, the crunching of my stomach causes naseau and vomiting, replacing pants and belts that no longer fit me or finally shrink in the wash no matter how careful I've been, and converting any new pants to bear suspender buttons so I can actually keep my pants up. As I said before, sweatsuits are way more comfortable, but you can't wear them everywhere, and I still like nice restaurants and some things I still enjoy in life are taking dates out to nice places and events that you can't wear a sweatsuit to.
However, I think I'm now safe in buying my Metallica tickets for December 11th. (They're playing San Diego State, my Alma Matter) I don't have much else I'm looking forward to, except...
My novel is currently being professionally edited. Maybe I'll do better at working on it without post-transplant pain and constant follow-up appointments?
The house and working with my Star Wars dioramas doesn't actually seem any further away. It was less dependent on my kidney transplant than on the success of my novel and getting into the publishing world. I am working on my story's prequel now. If I have time to search for real estate, I may buy well ahead of a transplant and recovery. I have to go on with my life like I'm going to make it through all this. My theory is that in the event of sudden death, I won't really care.
When I'm re-settled, I might re-enter political activism and work my way back into a position where I might run for office.
