I have spent over thirty years as a business owner in Massachusetts. I grew a small family business into one of New England's largest food distributors, before selling the assets in 2010 to a large national company. The company at it's peak had over 50 employees and a footprint, as a distributor, in 5 states.
I have extensive background in Business Development, Marketing, Organizational Development, Logistics,and Entrepreneurship.
My Business Development background can be traced to the 1980's when I assumed leadership of very small family owned food wholesaler in Central, Mass. and quickly grew the business out to a point where it's present facility could handle no further increase in sales. At this juncture, I researched new locations and ultimately moved the company almost 40 miles into a new marketplace. This provided not only new facilities, but a growth opportunity for the company, requiring a new market plan. I developed a team of sales professionals, and within a three year period the company grew out to three times it's 1980 size! This required increased credit lines, a larger corporate infrastructure of Management, changes in the equipment budget, and many other good issues. By assembling and mentoring a very competent and dedicated management team, we were able to confront these challenges successfully. These are some of the real world experiences I would bring in to the tutoring sessions in conjunction with the appropriate text, to infuse passion in discussion, and thought with the student.
I have tutored 7th grade math students informally over the last year. My strong grasp of the basic rules which a student must gain confidence with in order to be consistently successful and the ability to help the student achieve that confidence will insure your student's success.
In the course of my career I have developed three different Marketing plans for the company. The first was an effort designed to serve the needs of Latino retail grocers in southern New England in the 1990's, known as Bodega operators. This under-served segment of the market was not able to compete against their larger Supermarket competitors, as a result of not having access to a "one stop" supplier, who could provide shelf stable groceries, dairy products, frozen foods and ice cream at competitive prices. Our company developed a long term marketing plan to offer this service, a bilingual sales force to be sure it was understood by the retailer, and bilingual co-operative advertising, which the individual retailer could not afford on his own, to insure the consumer received the benefit of the strategy.
The company also found a niche market in serving the needs of convenience store retailers by reaching the distributors who were already supplying candy and health and beauty care items to these stores. We found our product mix offered this class of retailer and their distributors the right items and sizes. This trade were seeking a supplier who could give them the faster turn around on order to delivery, and be more responsive to their individual needs. We quickly established our company as that "go to" supplier who would get the job done efficiently for the C-Store market.
In the year 1999, the company was solicited by the State of New York, to consider supplying it's 46 prison commissary stores, serving an inmate population of nearly 70,000. This was a very unique marketing challenge, as each facility was supplied under a very detailed contract, a marketing venue with which we had little experience. One by one, the company took on all 46 contracts and retained those contracts until 2010, when our company was sold. At that point I remained with the new owners for the past two years to ensure a smooth transition. It is with these real life stories of marketing efforts, the pitfalls, which one must be vigilant in guarding against, as well as the opportunities, and how to best take advantage of those that I intend to elicit a passion among the student for marketing.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 04, 2011Reviewer: Laurie in Ohio* I tried this on a recommendation from a fellow low carber. It is by far the best tasting whey for the 0 carb content and use of stevia as a sweetener...it is low calorie and mixes well...no lumps,I use it with almond milk...I have only tried the chocolate. I just didn't think it was fair that this product only had one review, so I had to give one :)
April 17, 2014Reviewer: Karen in Tennessee* I love the ingredient list on this protein! It's so nice to find one I feel is actually benefiting my body, not adding toxic ingredients. I like the cinnamon swirl to mix with other flavors like chocolate or banana. The flavors are very mild, though, so if you like a really deep rich flavor or a very sweet shake you may have to add some flavorings or sweeteners. There is no bad taste or aftertaste. They are just not strongly flavored.
July 24, 2012Reviewer: Don in North Carolina* About Time is about as close as I can get to a perfect protein powder for me, no sugar, no fat, no carbs, almost no cholesterol, all the protein I need, and it tastes good!This review is specific to About Time Whey Isolate, Vanilla

Up, Up, and Away
You'd think the words "hot-air balloon" and "race" would never be uttered in the same breath. It seems by their very nature that these gargantuan yet gentle flying contraptions were created simply to float up slowly and go where the wind takes them.
Weather permitting, the third annual Delray Beach Hot Air Balloon Race and Festivities this weekend is sure to disabuse you of that notion. Dozens of racing crews, coffee cups in hand, turn up at Lake Ida Park before sunrise to unload their vans and trucks. Their foreheads bead with sweat as they set up the passenger baskets, inspect lines and ropes, unfurl balloons, check and double-check the integrity of the cloth, give their race strategy sheets one more glance, and finally fill the balloons with hot air.
Fans trickle in slowly and gather around the sidelines. There's excitement and anticipation in the air as the national anthem is played, and then as if the umpire just hollered "Play ball," one after another of the balloons launches into the sky. Once in flight, the crews get busy with navigation, wind prediction, heat and pressure measurements, and the scheming and plotting that is part and parcel of any race.
Delray Beach Hot Air Balloon Race and Festivities
May 17 to 19. Admission is free. Trolleys will be available at no charge for outside parking locations. For more information, visit www.delraybeach.com or call 561-271-1380.
And while the slow and steady race is the main attraction of the event, it's more than just staring up at the sky toward a race among more than 30 members of mankind's oldest airborne conveyance. The festival part offers other fair-type activities the whole family can enjoy. Sorry, kids activities will not include piloting hot-air balloons. But plenty of other fun stuff will be available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, such as a bounce house, live entertainment and dancing, interactive games, a clown show, face painting, and balloons -- the long, thin, squeaky ones that turn into dogs and zebras and other weird shapes, as opposed to the behemoths that float through the air.

If you feel like chatting with one of the balloon pilots, come by Atlantic Avenue and A1A for the Balloon Glow on Friday night, where ten smaller balloons will be positioned on the fully lighted street from 7 to 10 p.m., accompanied by live entertainment.
On race mornings, Saturday and Sunday, a pancake breakfast prepared by the city's firefighters will be served -- no need to worry about burned pancakes -- and with weather permitting, visitors can also go on tethered balloon rides.
On Saturday, patriotic spirits will run high as the fire department presents a special fire operation followed by the police department's live K-9 demonstration. The Army, Navy, Marines, and the American Legion will also show their presence. Last year, nearly 30,000 visitors attended the event, so come prepared for a crowd.

The Seagate company is making its hybrid cloud storage platform available to independent software vendors. Look for the first backup vendors to start using the platform to enable cloud-connected backups within a few months, with more following next year.The new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform uses encryption, deduplication, compression, and bandwidth management to help ISVs securely and efficiently send data to the cloud so they can offer hybrid cloud and local storage and backup options. Cloud APIs, cloud storage (10 enterprise-class data centers), a service connector to transfer objects to/from the cloud (with encryption, deduplication, and bandswidth management), and SaaS business and support systems (pricing and billing management) are designed to help ISVs get the cloud-based storage and backup services to market quickly.
In a statement, Laura DuBois, IDC's research director for Storage Software, said, "Cloud-based storage offerings are making it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to expand and manage their IT infrastructure without the added upfront investments in storage infrastructure, and human capital. I365's EVault Cloud-Connected Services Platform will enable ISVs to offer their customers a cloud-based option without having to re-architect their applications."
Terry Cunningham, senior vice president and general manager of i365 , told InformationWeek SMB that "SMBs want to back up and restore their data quickly, but also want an offsite version in case the whole premesis goes up in smoke." But it's really hard to build, he added. "Now it will be easier," he claimed, either as a built-in feature or as an add-on product at extra cost.
According to Cunningham, CA's ARCServe Backup and C2C ArchiveOne are already in development on the platform, and should have their first products using it on the market in a few months, Cunningham said. Other ISVs are expected to follow in 2011.
As these services become available, Cunningham said, SMBs may see the services branded as i365, or as coming from the ISV.

THOUSANDS of jobs are to be created across Scotland during the next year as business bosses go on recruitment drives in the latest encouraging sign of confidence returning to the country's economy.
The owners of small and medium sized firms are so sure of attracting new orders that more than two-fifths say they intend to recruit more staff in 2014.
The boost comes weeks after the most recent set of employment figures revealed that the total number of people out of work in Scotland had fallen by 7000 to 196,000.
Loading article content
There is also more chance of people being in employment north of the Border than in England or Wales or Northern Ireland.
A Clydesdale Bank poll of business customers found 43% of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) said they intended to recruit staff in the new year.
Bosses who plan to create jobs said they expect to increase staff numbers by almost 9%.
Scotland's 326,000 SMEs plan to recruit almost 4% more staff.
It equals 40,000 new jobs if this was applied to the sector, which employs more than one million people.
Finance Secretary John Swinney hailed the survey as the latest in a series of crucial indicators, from the jobs statistics to wider economic surveys, to suggest that 2014 will see the recovery begin to make an impact.
He said the survey showed "strong grounds for optimism" with "signals that the Scottish economy is likely to strengthen further in the next 12 months".
He added: "This research shows continued improvement in Scottish job market conditions.
"2013 has seen significant improvements for the job market in Scotland and recent figures show Scotland has a higher employment rate, lower unemployment rate and lower inactivity rate than England, Wales or Northern Ireland."
Mr Swinney said 2013 had seen improvements across a range of economic indicators, with the economy expanding for four consecutive quarters, further increases in employment, and unemployment and economic inactivity continuing to fall.
He added: "There are strong grounds for optimism, and there are signals that the Scottish economy is likely to strengthen further in the next 12 months, with recent economic data indicating that the economy as a whole will return to pre-recession levels in 2014.
"Consistent growth in employment shows that the policies of the Scottish Government to create jobs and boost the economy are making progress."
Colin Borland, of the Federation of Small Businesses in Scotland, said: "These encouraging figures broadly accord with what our members are telling us. 2014 looks to be the year when more small businesses will get hiring and create the extra private sector jobs our economy needs.
"With business confidence building, more firms reporting increased profits and investment plans being firmed up, it seems we're laying the foundations for a sustained, investment-led recovery."
He added: "But we are not out of the woods yet and this report rightly highlights that the picture varies from sector to sector."
The survey found that while the majority of UK businesses (58%) do not intend to create jobs, only 2% fear they may still shed more staff suggesting the economic squeeze is loosening its grip.
The recruitment intentions uncovered by the research were supported by significant investment plans.
A third of Scottish SMEs questioned said they would spend additional money on new staff over the next year.
The survey of 818 middle and senior managers found across the UK, on average, Britain's 4.9 million SMEs expect to recruit 2.9% more staff. It equals 417,000 new jobs if it is applied to Britain's total workforce of 14.4 million in the sector.
Alastair Christmas of Clydesdale Bank said: "As the UK economic outlook continues to improve, we are starting to see a positive impact on recruitment plans. Increasing staff numbers can help businesses to boost productivity and competitiveness, and allow expansion into new markets as capacity grows.
"Creating new jobs is also good for the economy as a whole. While our research suggests that many businesses are becoming more confident about investing in their future, it is important that we recognise there remain considerable challenges to growth."

Parker fan here!
Parker fan here!
It was at the very end of the network BB9 Broadcast lastnight.
I'd like to see Amanda or Parker come back.
I want to see Alex return. He wouldn't have been evicted if Amanda hadn't messed his game up. I think he deserves another chance. I know some say Parker deserves one too and maybe he does because Jen got him ousted but Parker also messed his game up with the arguements and attitudes he had with some of the others too and he also helped make the decision to tell everyone about Jen/Ryan which hurt them they should have kept quiet about it. So I think Alex got a worse deal than Parker and I didn't care for Parker at all. So I want Alex.
Even though I love Alex..I am the first to admit he is not the greatest player...First, when he won HOH he convinces his partner to do good for the house and put up one of his alliance members (parker/jen)...second, when Matt/Nat won the veto, he told them not use it and not take his alliance partner off the black(parker/jen)..lol...that cost him big time...as well the week he was evicted he said he would not campaign against Mattie...So what happens when he returns and the house decides to put him up against Matt again? is he not going to campaign again?...I adore Alex, but he definitely was not made for the BB game...I saw his huge blunders even before Amanda put the target on them...Originally Posted by sonii82;2828482;
Voting for Parker as many times as I can. He was great in the beginning. Yeah, he got pissy, but wouldn't you if Jen was your partner? How about this? Parker gets voted back in and they switch Matt and Alex. Can you imagine Matt spending quality time with Allison? Oh, wait, he'd probably find out all her gambling secrets and make a million. Dayum. I'm voting for Parker.
Parker's bad attitude left a permanent taste in my mouth that I just can't get rid of. He acted like a jerk and I truly believe he does not deserve to return to the game he so willingly mocked and shunned. Who cares if Alex is eye candy. That is the least of the reasons I have for watching to show and much better ways of getting said eye candy (a few examples would be Lost and Prison Break). Either Parker or Alex would turn the game into the pack of alpha males lifting weights, patting each other on the ass and acting like a bunch of frat boys. They can't help it bless their hearts, but boys will be boys, especially in groups when they don't have to worry about their partners. I want this to be about game play, not who can bench press the most and have the most bros on their side. Amanda would add an interesting element to the show again. Her voice was enough to drive me to the loony bin, but I think she had an appeal to America and wouldn't get in the way of current game-play. Forget Allison and Jen, they can rot in sequester along with Parker. Jacob made one of the biggest bone-head moves in BB history and although his game play is seriously lacking, I think it would be funny to see the interplay between him and Sharon. I also doubt he would be pulled into the fraternity as quickly as Alex or Parker. This turning into a boys club season would be the worst thing that could happen to this house IMHO.
Well said tickerrose! I can't stand the "boys club" either - remember the 4 horseman of the season with the twins? If they had dominated that season, it would have been the most boring thing EVER.
Alex is adorable, but I want Amanda back!
Damn you Big Brother for sucking me back in...!
I'm going to have to campaign also for Amanda to get voted back in. Her and Alex are neck and neck in the race to be voted back in.
Survivor - Christina | The Amazing Race - Dave/Rachel | American Idol - Hollie, DeAndre | Celebrity Apprentice - Aubrey | The Voice - Chris, Juliet
I have noticed that too...I have checked various polls...in some Alex is leading, with Amanda right behind...and in others Amanda is leading with Alex right behind....it is definitely going to be btw these two...Keep voting!..Bueno.Originally Posted by CrossingGuard;2830427;

Flashgot, Build Gallery, please help :)
Talk about add-ons and extension development.
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
Hi there, im trtying to assemble a gallery and it has preview thumbs in a structure like this....
Each preview thumb is in its own folder, as you can see...
I cant figure out what syntax to use with the latest version of flashgot...
http://www.example.com/gallery/[100-200]/[100-200].jpg as you would expect generates
etc and that just chews up memory
Anyone know of a method to generate
Thanks so much for this excellent extension!
You need a bit of JavaScript magic
Simplicistic (not much reusable) version
Use this pattern:
In the JavaScript tab you'll find a new function called customFx. Paste into the code text area the following snippet:
Sligtly more advanced, but very reusable version
Use this pattern:
In the JavaScript tab you'll find 2 new functions, called push and pop.
Paste the following definitions:
push() {
pop() {
Thanks a lot thats excellent, I'll go and try that
I guess you'll enjoy this very new trick as well

So the problem is, the directory and file name of the one-time change does not work.
Thank you for your answer!

Announcing the 2018 Lecture ...
Thursday, February 22, 2018
Presented by:
7:30 p.m.
Bauman Auditorium
Dr. Simon Conway Morris
Paleontologist from University of Cambridge
Check back in the fall of 2017 for more information on the speaker and the title of his lecture.
Dalton Lecture Series
The Dalton Lecture Series is sponsored by the George Fox University Department of Biology and Chemistry. These annual lectures feature eminent scientists who are Christian. The Dalton Lecture Series was born out of a desire to not only present world-renowned scientists to George Fox students and the local community, but to show how these scientists integrate their Christianity. Contrary to all-too-common thought, it is possible for a scientist to be intellectually engaged and be a Christian!
John Dalton (1766-1844) was a Quaker scientist best known for his pioneering work in the development of modern atomic theory. He remained a faithful Quaker and educator his entire life.
The Dalton Lecture is open to the public and free of charge. The Dalton Lecture is followed by a reception and a George Fox University research student poster session.
Prior Lectures
Speaker: Dr. Jennifer Wiseman, Astrophysicist
Title: Universe of Wonder: Galaxies, Stars, Planets, and Life
Topic: Modern telescopes are revealing an incredible dynamic universe, where galaxies and stars support planets and, at least on one planet, life. In this presentation, we will investigate what new discoveries are revealing about the cosmos and the significance of life in a dynamic universe.
Bio: Dr. Jennifer Wiseman is an astronomer, author and speaker. She studies the process of star and planet formation in our galaxy using radio, optical, and infrared telescopes, and is a senior astrophysicist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Speaker: Dr. William Phillips, 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics
Fellow and group leader of the Joint Quantum Institute of the University of Maryland and the National Institute of Standards and Technology
Title: Ordinary Faith, Ordinary Science
Topic: Many conventional scientists are also people with conventional religious faith. As a physicist, Phillips will discuss the ways in which scientific and religious thinking differ and what they have in common, from a perspective affirming that one can be serious about religious faith and about science. He will also consider some questions that are particularly troublesome to a Christian: Why is there suffering if God is good? What about all the terrible things done in the name of religion? What about all the good people who are on a different path of faith than Christianity?
Bio: Phillips is a fellow and group leader of the Joint Quantum Institute of the University of Maryland and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In 1997, he was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light, along with Steven Chu and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. One result of the development of laser-cooling techniques was the first observation, in 1995, of the Bose-Einstein condensate, a new state of matter originally predicted 70 years earlier by Albert Einstein and the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. In this state atoms are so chilled and so slow that they, in effect, merge and behave as one single quantum entity that is much larger than any individual atom.
Among his many awards, Phillips has received the 1996 Albert A. Michelson Medal (Franklin Institute), the Presidential Rank Award and the Arthur L. Schawlaw Prize in Laser Science. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Acadeemy of Arts and Sciences. He is a member of the prestigious U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Phillips is a Methodist laity and one of many accomplished scientists who speak on the interaction between science and Christianity.
Speaker: Dr. Bill Newsome, Harman Family Provostial Professor, Director of Bio-X NeuroVentures and Professor of Neurobiology at Stanford University
Title: Brain, Mind and Free Will: Did My Neurons Make Me Do It?
Topic: Dr Newsome discussed the the recent neuroscience research and the links between neural mechanisms within the brain and human actions, behavior and thought. He confronted quetions about what it means to be human and also the nature of religious belief. Are we just the sum of our neurons? Does my brain shape me, or do I shape my brain? Is freedom of choice an illusion?
Bio: Dr. Bill Newsome is an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Professor of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He received a bachelor's degree in physics from Stetson University and a PhD in biology from the California Institute of Technology.
Dr. Newsome is a leading investigator in systems and cognitive neuroscience.

Technological spin-offs include a patented solenoid design being used for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ion cyclotron resonance (ICR), along with improved cell designs for ICR.
Speaker: Dr. Kent Thornburg, M. Lowell Edwards Chair, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, and Director of the Heart Research Center, Oregon Health & Sciences University
Title: New Science Wrestles An Old Problem: The Roots of Human Disease
Topic: New discoveries in science and technology have opened new windows of opportunity to explore the foundational causes of human disease. Over the past decade, our understanding of the differing roles of the human genetic code and the regulation of gene expression have shown how vulnerabilities for disease arise and are passed from one generation to the next. The emerging picture will ultimately change the practice of medicine in a dramatic way.
Bio: Dr. Thornburg has served on numerous study sections and advisory boards at the National Institutes of Health. He serves on committees and boards for the American Heart Association, the National Children's Heart Foundation and other international bodies.
Dr. Thornburg leads a team of scientists who are studying how mechanical forces alter gene expression in the developing embryo heart. His models are designed to study the roles of shear and wall stresses as signals to developing cardiac structures. His laboratory team also studies fetal heart development and the roles of growth factors and signaling molecules in programming the immature heart and coronary arteries for lifelong vulnerability for disease.
He is the principal investigator on an NIH Program Project Grant entitled "Maternofetal Signaling and Lifelong Consequences;" a training grant for translational research in heart physiology; an RO1 for investigating the role of thyroid hormone on heart development; and an R24 to study placental function in monkeys on a high-fat diet.

The following guest blog is from one of our regular readers who uses the name "T".
Stan connected one of the aspects of bigfoot or a hairy man creature that has resonated in literature and history that, while not being scientifically evident, presents a strong historical and philosophical case for a bigfoot creature. And that is a similar figure in "mythâ€- the troll.
Let me stray with an example- a very real "myth†that as young kids we grew up with when we were young.
At Halloween time, in scary movies or recordings of old, what sounds did a ghost make?
Darn right, those sounds made years ago on 45 or 78 rpm vinyl sound like the Ohio Howler, Columbiana 1994.
Are all the boogeyman stories traced to the single premise of parents trying to scare their kids so they would not go out at night? Some will try to convince you of that. Solutions so simplistic rarely provide the truth.
Let's be practical, and logical. Pre-1900, all the world lived in the dark once the sun went down- especially in northern hemisphere winter. Doesn't mean work outside stopped… just meant the people were outside still in mainly an agrarian world whose populace dwelt close to nature.
What sounds might they have heard in the woods? Was Nathaniel Hawthorne's Puritans in "Young Goodman Brown"spooked of devils in the woods?
Here's where biological science cannot reach- where the literature of old agrarian or plain old savage nature culture reached with its writings, where Grendel in the Beowulf epic still holds modern society's fascination.
These accounts are not proof; they are not hard evidence; but circumstantial evidence back then was good enough to give a few persons a suspended sentence— gallows style, where there was no video or photos of the crime and no DNA to trace the crime back to the culprit. Maybe, the judgments of jurors got it wrong sometimes. But, they probably got it right often enough.
Point is that in this technologicallty advanced age, I am unwilling to say we are any smarter, or anymore knowledgeable than those who preceded us in history. Take all the people on Facebook and see how many could track the stars, the seasons, the earth, and nature as the ancients used to do.
And by ancient peoples, I do not mean time. I mean those who still recognize that in their genes, the DNA of all humanity is still as alive as it was in their progenitors hundreds, and thousands, of years ago.
There still are trolls underneath bridges.

Brandi Glanville isn't about to apologize. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is defending herself after name calling and using profanities about her son Jake, 7, on her podcast show this week. While talking to actor Jake Lacy, the reality star called her youngest boy an "a--hole" and a "d--k" during a segment on Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.
"I joke about my kids &dogs being a--holes sometimes cuz honestly they can be but I love them more then life!!people that know me know that!" Glanville, 41, tweeted on Saturday, June 22.
"OMG I jokingly refer 2my kids&dogs as lil a--holes sometimes cuz they can be," she continued. "My mom called us her lil- shi-ts-stop taking things so seriously." (Glanville is mom to Jake and Mason, 11, with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.)
Despite rolling the controversy off her back, Glanville has apologized before for topics she's discussed on her show. In January, she responded to the backlash she received after joking that she wanted to "be molested as a child."

IN the top 100, I am down from 90 to 93.
There was a time when I was in the top 10, even a few years when I was number one. But the name Mark just isn't fashionable these days. It's not Riley or Logan or Kaiden or even Kayden. Biblical names like Mark don't cut it any more because there is a new Bible: Ok! magazine.
That's the only explanation I can think of for most of the names in the list of the 100 most popular in Scotland, revealed in The Herald yesterday. There's Robbie, for instance (named by mums who love Take That), Riley (named by mums who love 90210), or Mason (named by mums who love Keeping Up with The Kardashians).
Loading article content
What these mothers may have overlooked is the tyrannical rule of fashion that means that there will come a day when names that are trendy now won't be any more and those children will still be lumbered with them.
Just think of those poor adults born in the 1970s called Garry and Barry and Elton and especially Zowie, son of Bowie. And naming your children after your favourite musician is never a good idea, as my good friend Elvis Led Zeppelin McCorkindale will tell you. The trick is to keep it simple because, like school uniforms, traditional names are classless. If there are Marks at the top, and at the bottom of society, maybe the divisions won't feel so obvious.
By contrast, the danger of the trend for names inspired by reality TV and pop stars, and even worse spelling the names phonetically, is that what we call our children becomes a class issue, with some children labelled by their names as well as our attitudes towards them.
Do not do that to your children. And if you're about to have a baby son, how about the name Mark? Come on, let's get it up to 92 next year.

"In meditation, effort must be applied in a direction opposite to what
we are used to.
Our "effort" must be to relax ever more deeply. We must ultimately release the tension
from both our muscles and our thoughts. When we relax so deeply that we are able to
internalize the energy of the senses, the mind becomes focused and a tremendous flow
of energy is awakened. ... Meditation is a continuous process, and can be said to have
three stages: relaxation, interiorization, and expansion."
- John Novak, Lessons in Meditation, p. 14
"There is a central idea. Merely practicing is not understanding. Seek

"The Chinese term for meditation is Ching Tso, which translated
means "sitting
still with peaceful mind." Meditation is the training of the inner senses of the body
and mind. It is as rigorous as the training undertaken by an athlete or an artist.
... By helping us to think clearly and concentrate fully, Ching Tso enables us to
commune totally with our God, with distracting or artifical thoughts. ... The highest
and most advanced goal of meditation is to gain enlightenment. We want to go
beyond the limitations of our knowledge and our three-dimensional view of the
world. Our goal is to perceive fully the fourth dimension and understand our
relationship to it."
- Jou Tsung-Hwa, The Tao of Meditation, p 3-5.
"The first and most important gigong meditation is called ru jing ("entering
Entering tranquillity means training the mind to be silently aware with any particular

directly, immediately, without the mediation of thoughts and concepts. Ancient Daoist
classics called this "the fasting of the mind."

Tamsin Greig to Star in WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN in the West End This Winter; Bartlett Sher to Return in Director's Chair
The Daily Mail writes that Tamsin Greig will star in the West End in WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, based on Pedro Almodovar's 1988 film. Bartlett Sher returns in the director's chair for the production -- he helmed the Broadway cast in 2010. 'BREAKDOWN' begins previews at the Playhouse Theatre on December 20, with an opening slated for January 12, 2015.
"...to allow women of this generation to have voices and talk about how they feel, or sing about it, was a factor. It doesn't emasculate men, but it celebrates women," Tamsin said of her decision to join the musical comedy.
The musical as been "recalibrated" since its Broadway outing, with help from creators Jeffrey Lane and David Yazbek in paring down the scale of the band, sets and costumes, as well as restructuring the book.
'BREAKDOWN' has seen a couple of workshops with Tamsin in the lead as 'Pepa', a Spanish voiceover actress who becomes unbalanced after her lover Ivan leaves her for another woman.
On Broadway, the musical starred Sherie Rene Scott, Patti LuPone, Laura Benanti and Brian Stokes Mitchell. It ended up closing early after 30 previews and 69 regular performances due to low ticket sales. Nevertheless, the show was nominated for three 2011 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role for both LuPone and Benanti.
Greig won an Olivier Award for her performance as 'Beatrice' in Much Ado About Nothing in 2006 and 2007 with the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 2008, the actress starred in The God of Carnage at the Gielgud, followed by Gethsemane at the National Theatre and in a subsequent UK tour. She also starred in The Little Dog Laughed at the Garrick in 2010; she earned her second Olivier nomination for Best Actress for her portrayal of 'Diane'. She starred in Jumpy at the Royal Court and the Duke of York's Theatre in 2011 and last appeared at the Hampstead in Longing in 2013.
She will next be seen on the big screen in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 2 and Breaking the Bank. Among her TV credits are Episodes, Friday Night Dinner, White Heat, Love Soup, Green Wing, Black Books and more.

PM should explain cuts change: Palaszczuk
Queensland's premier says it's irresponsible for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull not to tell her about possibly ditching controversial cuts to state hospital funding.
Mr Turnbull and Treasurer Scott Morrison on the weekend mapped out a health funding compromise to present to state premiers and treasurers at Friday's Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting, The Australian reports.
Although yet to be finalised, it was reported the deal would be a four-year hospital funding agreement to 2020 based on the original formula agreed under the Gillard Labor government.
It's expected to create a $5 billion hit to Mr Morrison's first budget.
It comes after former treasurer Joe Hockey's first budget, delivered in May 2014 when Tony Abbott was prime minister, included $57 billion in cuts to hospitals over the next decade.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Mr Turnbull was yet to inform her of the changes.
"It would be very nice if Malcolm Turnbull would like to give us some information for a start," she told reporters in Gladstone on Tuesday.
"It is simply not good enough for the Turnbull-led government to not give information out to the premiers ahead of the (COAG) meeting.
"It is irresponsible."
Ms Palaszczuk said she had only read about the potential changes in the media, so couldn't say whether her government would accept them or not.
"What we have seen under Tony Abbott was a slash of the health and education funding," she said.
"Malcolm Turnbull has a very clear choice here at COAG - is he the same as Tony Abbott or is he different?"
Ms Palaszczuk's comments come after South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said he'd received a preliminary call from Mr Turnbull and understood there would be an interim offer.
He said it was a $5 billion bandaid for a $57 billion problem.
"Any contribution would be welcome because the size of the problem is enormous," he told ABC radio.
"It's likely to be a bandaid on a much bigger wound."

While on a shopping spree, Heidi Montag displayed just that on her fingertips. Somehow, I imagine this look won't show up in Chanel's new ad campaign — and I imagine you'll have some opinions on this choice in nail art, too.

Eighteen firefighters from across West Cornwall were called to rescue a dog that had fallen down a mine shaft near Pendeen this week.
The cocker spaniel, called Jervis, had become stuck down the shaft on Monday around 2pm.
Firefighters from St Just and Penzance attended the incident, as did a specialist "line rescue" appliance from Camborne.
Jenna Gendall, from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, said: "On their arrival fire crews cleared around the shaft opening.
"Once cleared they lowered a firefighter using the lines and harness and a triple extension ladder.
"The firefighter being lowered monitored the shaft atmosphere using a gas detector.
"The cocker spaniel was found five metres down from the shaft entrance, at the bottom of the dry pit."
Jervis was brought back up to the surface and reunited with his owner, unharmed.

I am six weeks post-op from having tumescent liposuction. The doctor put me under general anesthesia and removed 5,000 cubic centimeters of fat from my hips, inner and outer thighs, lateral buttocks and medial (inside) knees.
From the front the results are remarkable - I've clearly lost at least two pants sizes. The hated fat is gone and a new figure has emerged and, as I've always suspected, my hips are narrower than my shoulders but were hidden under the fat! HOWEVER, the surgeon did also remove lumbar fat even though I already had a small waist. This is causing my already round buttocks to look appear as though I had a buttocks augmentation! I certainly do not want this look, having dealt with it most of my life.
I am an out-of-state patient and will revisit the surgeon in a few weeks. My fears are that this "bubble butt" look is permanent and that I'll have to undergo a second procedure to remove the remainder of what is left.
Overall, I had an excellent experience and was a good candidate for this procedure and I'm wondering if the surgeon stopped at the recommended 5,000 c.c. limit or if he gave me the figure he appreciates!
I don't have current photos but I would love feedback as to whether I should expect another round. I lost a full three inches off each thigh but at the fullest point, my hips are measuring about 40" with a 28" waist!

Council accepts study, directs site environmental review
The Corcoran City Council reviewed plans for a 350-home development, which would be the city's first ever residential project served by municipal sewer and water.
The council also heard that an elementary school was included in Rockford School District's concept plan for its site located near the city park, and continued discussion on Tax Increment Financing (TIF) projects.
The council reviewed the sewer and water feasibility study for Lennar Development's proposed residential site located in the city's southeast corner near the Maple Grove and Medina border.
Lennar also presented its first site plan, which proposes 375 homes spread out across 218 acres. City administrator Dan Donahue later said Lennar owns some properties at the site and is negotiating for others, "so the final acreage is yet to be determined."
Now that the concept plan has been submitted, Lennar requested the city authorize an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), since any development larger than 250 homes requires environmental review.
"The (feasibility) study went well," Donahue said. "There will be several options on how to bring sewer and water to the site. What's important is Lennar is laying out the streets. All that is needed for the EAW, where streets will be, home placements, wetlands etc."
Next will be completion of the EAW and continuing to the sewer and water feasibility, and negotiating the final design.
"(Lennar) said they want to turn some dirt this fall and even start a model home," Donahue said. "Final approval could come later this summer and they can start."
The city council directed staff to proceed with the EAW, and accepted the first draft of the feasibility study.
In other matters, the council reviewed the Rockford School District's property concept plan for its site located just west of the Corcoran City Park.
The city and school district qualified for a Hennepin County youth sports grant to develop a new ball field.
"The concept plan includes plans for the whole property," administrator Donahue said. "And it includes a sketched-in elementary school."
Donahue said the concept plan was reviewed by the Rockford School Board.
The grant requires action on the field approval has to be done by the end of the year, and the district's concept plan maps out where the field would be located. Field construction would start this fall.
Donahue said any proposal for the school would take place on the district's side. "It's their plan," he said.
In further news, staff updated the council about the TIF project and finance discussion, including downtown design guidelines and consulting services.
The city must decide where to allocate $1.8 million is remaining TIF funds that expire at the end of the year.
"The council is trying to figure out the best bang for the buck in terms of projects that have significant return," administrator Donahue said.
Proposed projects include downtown utility extensions, Hope Church's concept for assisted living at its site at County Rds. 116/30, and property acquisitions around County Rds. 10/50 downtown.
"If the council proceeds on a project, front end policies have to be in place," Donahue said. "We're just trying to figure out in the remaining seven months what do we have to do to get these projects approved and moving forward."
Staff has met with TIF and finance consultants to get outlines of projects and how the city wants to proceeds.
"We'll come back with some timelines and what has to be done to meet deadlines," Donahue said.
In other action, the council:
APPROVED the site plan and variance for the Maple Hills Estate Community Center, which was secured through a $225,000 grant. The item will be back on the agenda May 9 to further look at options, such as architectural design. Organizers are hoping to start and finish construction this year.
GRANTED final approval and authority to issue contracts for the new public works facility. A tentative ground-breaking was set for May 6, depending on the weather.
