Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad LIVE UP!
Album Review
Contributing Writer : Rashon A. Massey
LIVE UP! is the latest effort from a band that has become dear to my heart. Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad (GPGDS) first entered my playlist back at Wakarusa 2008 in Lawrence, KS.
Cleverly titled, LIVE UP! is the sophomore release following Slow Down. With the first record being released years ago, it was due time for the band to produce a recording stating exactly where they stood to date; henceforth, the idea to not necessarily jump into a studio but share their songs as they are best heard – in a live setting.
As soon as the audibly clear tones of this album begin, a slight pang in my heart rings. With the departure of bandmates Matt and Rachel back in November of 2009, hearing Matt, the lead vocalist I've come to appreciate, saddens me; moreover, reassures me that this album is so special simply because it would capture them just as I've remembered. Bands will grow and evolve and in my case, seeing a band more then five times in a year, you begin to admire the growth of their musicianship taking place right before your eyes. Even still, this album is a poster of what I remember the sound to be as recent as October 2009 when I saw them last.
"Blacktoke" shoots out the canon of LIVE UP! with total control and passion you can expect from the members of GPGDS. With this being a live recording, you get to hear all the soul-scratching of the high notes that lead vocalist Matt has placed his stamp upon. Just getting right after the beat in his signature flow of lyrics, Matt unleashes the pure guerilla-style verbal slick at 3:35, and you're surely bouncing exactly the way this track intends for you to move.
"International Mother," the sweet slow burning joint of the show is one where you truly appreciate the talent of Rachel. Her melodica guides you on a classic dub infused journey that rides on waves of bass rolling from James Searl. Chris O'Brian, Matt's brother who holds down the drums perfectly with every song, keeps that steady groove intellectual while you spark up thoughts with your eyes closed, swaying in the venue.
On that note, something I really dig comes from the wonderfully leveled background noise of the audience on this album. Right towards the end of "International Mother," you begin hearing the chatter of the crowd which is something you don't always get with live albums. Most times in post-production, they only keep the applause on tracks and occasional, "Oh's," audible; however, with LIVE UP! you are transported to a special reserved seat placed on the GPGDS stage, giving you the sound perspective of sitting amidst the six piece band while staring into the crowd.
With the start of "Seasons Change," I'm reminded of the growth GPGDS has undergone over the years. Allowing a true jam to flourish from a standard reggae progression, becoming slightly transient and fluid with drum and bass laden kick, by the time the 7:30 mark of the song hits, you realize this is some modern day dub taking place right in your ears, effortlessly transitioning back to the home progression to close the song.
By the time you get to guitarist Dylan Savage's vocals on "Pockets," you need the chill break to sway your hips and hear some brass horn action, but don't get too comfortable because with the smartly placed "In These Times," the track following in the set, you gotta slowly build your dancing shoes for the remix "Times Reprise."
The best part of this album truly unfolds in the way each band member LISTENS! They are communicating effectively on stage, each paying close attention to the breath, beat and tone color of each members notes.
Right about here in the album, you feel like you've been taken to a Marvin Gaye like atmosphere. If you've ever listened to Gaye's "What's Going On" or "Got to Give It Up," then you know what I mean about him layering the conversations, words and non-typical outside sounds to paint an environment of a backyard barbecue or basement hangout. Again, this is where the live album excels in not just updating you to where the band currently reaches with their grasp, but in creating a room in which you've been personally invited to listen to the music. You can visualize the ladies at the front of the stage shaking their ass and setting the tone for the dance floor.
Although GPGDS is no longer the sextet I have come to know them for, I am deeply appreciative to own a copy of a recording that I will forever remember them as. Below, check out a quick concert review of the new four piece at a recent show opener in Boston, MA by RFW Contributing Writer Jason Turgeon.
Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad | Boston, MA 02/05/10
Contributing Writer : Jason Turgeon
Playing a venue like the House of Blues in Boston is a pretty big deal for a young act like Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad. In fact, it's a pretty big deal for John Brown's Body, the Boston-area stalwarts of the modern reggae scene that GPGDS was here opening up for. In part, it's a big deal because the venue itself is so damn big. The new HoB, just days shy of its one-year birthday, is best described as cavernous, a massive joint that holds a couple of thousand people before it even starts to feel full, with soaring ceilings and multiple levels of balconies for the VIP-types to hang out on. For those fans and acts who like their music hot, sweaty, and intimate, the House of Blues is a challenge–the sheer volume of the place and the club's over-sized ventilation system can keep things downright chilly.
So the crew from Giant Panda had their work cut out for them last night in their hour-long set, quite literally trying to warm up a venue that couldn't have been more than 60 degrees at the beginning of their set. It didn't help that all the doors were wide open to the February chill as people streamed in from the outside for the entire time they were on stage. But they handled it with aplomb, cruising through a selection of their standards including "Seasons Change" and "Pockets."
The set started off mellow, sounding more like background music for a really good party than an attention-grabbing live act. The small circle of head-bobbing, foot-tapping, dreadlock-waving fans in the front gradually rippled out through the growing crowd until by the end of the set everyone in the joint was giving the band at least partial attention as they worked to ensure the optimal viewing point for the main act. They gradually turned up the heat, and things really got cooking when they cranked up the intensity about three quarters of the way through during a positively blazing version of "In These Times" when guitarist Dylan Savage unleashed his inner Carlos Santana on the now-packed room. By this point, CDs were moving briskly off the merch table and the lines at the bar were non-existent as the whole place turned towards the stage to make sure they didn't end up missing something.
By this point the room was finally warm enough to shed winter jackets and the crowd was ready for more. Unfortunately, the whole point of being a warm-up act is to get the crowd to this level and then leave, and after just one more song the band had to make way for the headliners. But rest assured, Boston now knows Giant Panda and they'll be welcomed back here for a full length set next time they are in town.

There are as many ways to code a program as there are programmers—and Visual Basic is no exception. But while sewing together a patchwork of designs and styles may work for a quilt, that's not a viable approach when it comes to enterprise application development. Consistency is essential in developing maintainable, bug-free applications. One way to ensure consistency is to establish programming standards that your team, or indeed the entire enterprise, can follow.
C and Java programmers have traditionally regarded VB as a simple language. But as VB becomes more powerful and object oriented, it's becoming increasingly important for VB developers to follow some guidelines to keep their code easy to read and maintain.
Why do you need to use VB coding standards?
To understand why coding standards are important, consider these possible scenarios:
- You develop a module and go on vacation; meanwhile, another team member is struggling to understand your code and to modify it as per new requirements.
- One of your team members develops several code modules—and then leaves the company. You're asked to quickly make a large number of modifications, only to discover that you've landed in VB hell.
- You're asked to modify a piece of code you wrote five months ago, but when you open it up, it takes you more than an hour to figure out what you wrote and why.
All of these situations could represent the start of a very bad day for you and your coworkers. To avoid such problems and to improve the quality of code, team leaders and project managers should establish coding standards for their groups and ask all developers to follow them.
Using standards
According to Microsoft, you should use coding conventions to "standardize the structure and coding style of an application so that you and others can easily read and understand the code." Microsoft offers the following guidelines.
All objects and variables should be named with a consistent prefix that identifies the type of object. See Table A for suggestions.
|Table A
|Suggested prefixes for frequently used controls
For other controls, use a unique two- or three-character prefix. To distinguish third-party controls from intrinsic controls, you can include a lowercase abbreviation for the manufacturer.
Use consistent naming conventions for variables and constants. Always declare variables with the least scope possible. Most of the time, declaring global variables is not a good idea because you can pass module-level variables with property procedures. Your module may be using a global variable, but someone else's module could modify that variable's value without your knowledge, so you end up with a bug in your code. Use global variables only when you don't have any other convenient way of sharing the data between forms/modules. When you have to use global variables, declare all of them in a single module and give a module a meaningful name, such as Public.bas.
Variables should have the following scope:
- Procedure-level
Declaration: Private in procedure, sub, or function
Visible in: The procedure in which it is declared
- Module-level
Declaration: Private in declarations section of a form or code module
Visible in: Every procedure in the form or code module
- Global
Declaration: Public in the declarations section of a code module
Visible in: Everywhere in the application
In general, it's advisable to write modular code whenever possible. This helps organize the application's code and makes it possible to reuse components, make changes to a specific function, and fix bugs.
It is also a good practice for your procedures and functions to operate only on objects passed to them. Global variables that are used in procedures should be declared at the beginning of the procedure. In addition, you should pass the arguments to procedures and functions ByVal, unless you need to change the value of a passed argument.
As a naming convention for variables, use these one- and two-letter prefixes for each corresponding scope:
- Static: st
- Module-level: m
- Global: g
Here are some things to keep in mind when working with variables:
- Declare all variables before using them. Always turn on Option Explicit to force Visual Basic to check that each variable is declared before it can be used. For example, if Option Explicit is off, you can use variable intARP without declaring it first. But if you mistype it as inrAPR later in your code, VB will create variable inrAPR and assign 0 to it, so your application will use 0 instead of the value of intARP.
- Choose data types carefully.
- Use the variant data type only when necessary (i.e., when no other data type can be used).
- Make the data type of the variable obvious by using an appropriate prefix. When declaring variables, always specify the data type for each one you declare. If you declare Dim strSQL, strPassword as String, only variable strPassword is a String variable; strSQL becomes a Variant variable. Be sure to specify the data type for each variable you declare.
- Make the purpose of the variable obvious by using a descriptive name. (How many times have you seen variable String1 and had to figure out what it stands for?)
- Make variable names as long as necessary to describe their purpose.
- Use minimal variable scope.
- Use mixed case in the names (strNameFirst is easier to read then STRNAMEFIRST or strnamefirst).
- Use Hungarian notation (three-character prefix) for naming your variables (see Table B).
|Table B
|Suggested data type prefixes for variables
Constants and enumerations
Constants and enumerations can improve your code in several ways. Here are a few of the benefits:
- They make code easier to read by giving a name to the value (e.g., TaxRrate instead of .05).
- They make it easier to modify values because there's only one occurrence of the actual value, and it's generally located in a "central" location, like the top of the program.
- They reduce errors caused by transposing or mistyping numbers.
You should always use constants instead of simply hard-coding values (using "magic numbers") because constants are easy to modify. Name your constants in a way that makes their purpose and scope obvious. All constants should have a prefix specifying the scope, as well as letter c followed by an underscore—for example, mc_HoursPerDay for module scope constant and gc_HoursPerDay for global scope constant.
Using enumerations results in a cleaner code. Instead of having to remember all possible numeric values of a parameter, you can assign names to numeric values and then simply use the names. Always use descriptive names that are easy to understand for your enumerations.
Procedures and functions
Procedures and functions should be specific and self-contained. If you are accessing a database and putting the data returned into the grid, don't do both in the same procedure. Separate data access from displaying data in separate procedures.
Having specific and self-contained procedures helps debugging the code. It also promotes code reusability. If your procedures depend on other procedures, debugging the code becomes more complicated, and code reuse is harder to achieve.
Try to minimize usage of global and module-level variables (which make procedures dependent on the data outside of their complete control); pass arguments to procedures and functions instead, whenever possible. By doing this, you clearly define the interface between the module and the calling routine. Passing data in or out of a module any other way bypasses this interface, which can make debugging and future enhancement complicated.
But what do you do when you can't pass data through use of parameters? Document, document, document. Copious comments in the called module, as well as everywhere else the global variable occurs, will pay dividends long after you you've forgotten about the project.
It is a good idea to structure your procedures and functions in a way where they don't call many other procedures and functions. This creates self-contained procedures and functions and reduces dependencies.
Procedures that have only one exit point are easier to debug. You can always be sure your cleanup code will be executed before the exit. To achieve this, create a label at the end of every procedure and always give it the same name, like Exit_Proc. Under it, put all the necessary cleanup code for each procedure together with the Exit statement (Exit Function or Exit Sub). In the procedure code, whenever you need to exit the procedure, just call Exit_Proc (GoTo ExitProc) instead of calling Exit Function or Exit Sub. As in the case of using parameters, having only one entry point and one exit point serves to define the interface for the module.
Module and procedure design
Here are some things to consider when planning your code and some ways to modularize your application:
- Always give procedures and modules descriptive names.
- Make procedure names as long as necessary to describe their purpose. If you are creating a function to return tax on a purchase, call it CalculateTax; don't call it Calculate, because it's hard to tell what your function is calculating.
- Always specify the scope of procedures. Use Public Sub GetData() instead of Sub GetData().
- Create specialized procedures/functions.
- Make procedures/functions as self-contained as possible.
- Always use mixed-case declarations.
- Give every procedure a single exit point.
- Call procedures/functions in a consistent way. Either always use a Call statement or don't use it at all.
Time well spent
The suggestions presented here may not be exactly how you would like to do things. Fine. The important thing is consistency. Develop a standard that your team will follow. If you don't already have a set of standards in place, however, you may find that these suggestions can go a long way toward improving your team's productivity.
Following these standards may also take a little more time than you are used to. But because investing a little extra effort now is significantly more efficient than having to deal with debugging and maintenance problems later, I am confident that you will find that it's time well spent.

Synopsis by Bhob Stewart
This suburban sitcom centers on three couples minus children, aka DINKs (double income, no kids). Onscreen labels are superimposed to define just where each couple is in its relationship: "The Veterans" are Sheri (Dedee Pfeiffer), who does facials, and architect Dean (D.W. Moffett), married for five years, in upscale Oak Park, Illinois. "The Newlyweds" are attorney Mel (James Lesure) and psychiatrist Malena (Holly Robinson Peete), who thinks she might be pregnant one month after marriage. The unmarried "Commitment-Phobics" are divorced teacher Bobbie (Tamala Jones) and restaurateur Reggie (Edafe Blackmon), Mel's brother, who doesn't want to give Bobbi the keys to his lakefront pad. It's mostly lovey-dovey, sweetness and light, as they all interact, interrelate, and confront life's little crises with an endless onslaught of half-hearted one-liners. Premiered March 17,1998 on NBC.

It wasn't my water leaking, I always starting getting an insane amount of discharge at the end, and so that's all it was, was just a crazy lot of discharge.
A surprise baby shower, awww! That's the best.
I've never been given a surprise party either, that is really neat! But you deserve it if you're the kind to throw one!
You go mommy, nest like only a pregnant lady can, lol. I wish I was doing anything like that, I'm so not though.
I posted in the DDC about my hospital visit, I posted to you first in here that I was thinking about it and then asked in the DDC what everyone thought, I felt like the reaction was overreaction cuz I kinda knew it'd be nothing, but I went and got it checked just cuz it is better safe than sorry. A friend on facebook actually convinced me to go, not the DDC.
I truly can't imagine enjoying a c-section. I'd be so distraught at just the idea of having it. I loved my births so much, even Rock's which wasn't all that pleasant, but I'd feel so at a loss if I lost that chance with Amber. I truly don't want to sound like one of those ladies who freaks out and acts like people who've had c-sections are failures, that is not at all how I feel, but I feel like I'd have been failed by like the cosmic universe if I had to have one. I don't think there'd be anything I'd be really blaming, cuz I know God has a reason for everything, and it isn't like it would be Amber's fault, or even me blaming my body, but I'd just feel so let down if I didn't get to give birth to her the way I did the other 3. I felt like who cares who your doctor is with those births, I'd care a lot about the doctor, cuz it'd be really their job with a c-section.
I remember the pain after my appendectomy was too awful. It was worse than giving birth, and I've never had anything after a surgery for pain that didn't either cause me to puke or break out in some sort of rash, so I'd worry that I'd also have to manage without pain killers and Idk if I could...I don't want to get stressed about it, cuz I just want to avoid that unless it is medically needed for Amber!
I also get charged by the day I stay in the hospital if I have a c-section Idk how we'd ever pay for that. I think the average stay is like 3 days then and I've already been horrified to realize, supposing all goes well we need to be out the day after I give birth to Amber, cuz I'm paid for that, but for the extra $300 a day I'd be so screwed.
Does it always take longer to heal after a 2nd c-section? I ask this one for my friend actually because she's trying to decide if she should go vbac or c-section right now.
I'd die also if they didn't give me Amber right away. It already kills me that my hospital has a stupid policy that about an hour after the birth they're going to take her for an hour or two. I actually switched hospitals twice to try to find one that didn't have a policy about this that I hated...I have now found one that doesn't have this policy and I'm even considering switching AGAIN. Things are kinda up in the air atm. I remember when I agreed to let them take Courtney somewhere for a little bit I missed her terribly instantly. I get so attached. I'm not attached to pregnancy, but to that little infant...
I also would just die if her first meal had to be formula. Not because I think there is something wrong with formula, but because I want that first to be mine to have. I feel like after 9 months I've earned some firsts, dh'll get his share of stuff, especially at this point since he's the SAHD! LJ's trying to learn to walk right now, he took a step and stood there for a while afterwords today, but was I here? No, Nick was though. So, I deserve to get some firsts with Amber in! Nick held LJ first, too...*boo*
I always don't have my camera at my important stuff lately.
Anyway, can you believe 35 weeks is almost here? Just a couple hours left for me before I hit my 35 week mark. I know lots of ladies who've had 35 weekers who never went to NICU or anything, just came home like all was well, so I'm excited to be at this point where baby is probably going to be healthy whenever she decides to come!

Help GIST patients
GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumor
What GIST is
GIST is a rare type of sarcoma that is found in the digestive system, most often in the wall of the stomach. Some GISTS are benign (not cancerous) but they can become cancerous if not treated. Generally speaking, the larger the GIST, the more likely it is to be cancerous.
These tumours do have a rather complicated name. They are found in the digestive system - the gastrointestinal tract. They develop from cells of connective tissues that control the movements of the gut. The tissues that support body organs are called the 'stroma', so that's where the stromal bit comes from. Cancers of connective tissues are 'sarcomas'. So the full name is gastrointestinal stromal sarcoma.
About 6 out of 10 of these tumours grow in the stomach, but they can crop up anywhere in the digestive system, for example in the bowel or oesophagus. Very rarely, they develop outside the gastrointestinal tract.
These tumours are most common occur in people between 50 and 70 years old. We don't really know the cause but there is a condition called neurofibromatosis (NF), which can increase the risk of developing it. Rarely, GIST can develop in children, but there are only about 20 cases a year in the UK.
1. We want to support cancer research, particularly GIST.

As the Mt. Carmel High softball team mounted its bid for a fourth straight section Division II title, Sundevils coach Cesar Chavez told his substitutes that they could make a difference.
"Everyone can help us win," Chavez advised his talent-rich team. "Stay ready and anything can happen."
Junior Gina Calo listened and responded, delivering a tie-breaking, two-run pinch single in the fourth inning to help propel Mt. Carmel to a 4-2 victory over West Hills in the championship game Saturday at UCSD.
Calo came to the plate with runners at second and third with two out and the score 1-1. After singling down the right-field line, she later scored on an error.
"I just came off the bench ready to go," said Calo, a first-year varsity member who saw limited duty during the season. "There were people on base, and I just went up confident that I could hit. Then I connected, and I was really happy."
The title four-peat for second-seeded Mt. Carmel (29-4) represented a career sweep for seniors Kellie Fox, Ashley Romero and Alix Johnson.
"Oh, my gosh, it's absolutely amazing," said Fox, a future UCLA player, who had three hits. "We worked really, really hard for it, but I wasn't expecting it. Our team did it all."
Junior Bree Williams pitched a three-hitter and allowed no earned runs in concluding a workhorse season in which she figured in every Mt. Carmel decision.
Johnson added two hits and also scored as the Sundevils denied top-seeded West Hills (28-4-1) in a quest for its first title since 1999.
Mt. Carmel topped the Wolf Pack 1-0 in eight innings Thursday to reach the finals of the double-elimination tournament.
"Our team is like sisters," Fox said. "We have each other's back, and we know what we're all going to do."

Using Fuzzy Logic for Data Aggregation in Vehicular Networks
Information provided in real-time via vehicular ad hoc networks is of great value in any kind of traffic systems. Bandwidth issues arise in this type of networks due to the potential large number of nodes. Data aggregation addresses these issues avoiding the dissemination of similar messages in the network. The lack of flexibility in the similarity criteria, security issues and the need of standardization were mentioned among the challenges of data aggregation schemes. Fuzzy Logic, very efficient in real-time systems, has been lately employed in data aggregation schemes. This paper analyzes various solutions for using Fuzzy Logic in data aggregation schemes and their mode of addressing the underlined challenges.

I love Ron Paul.
I agree. He's one of the very few that is willing to face the fundamental questions of the US' future and how we should approach it.
On FR it's great to see the schisms when his arguments arise, it separates those with preconceived ("conservative") bias to those honest enough to question the principles involved. And that evokes a lot of fear.
Ron Paul really is concerned about the United States' citizens, their responsibilities, and their freedom. One of the few.
I'm a Ron Paul fan because virtually every other national politician is a deceitful self-aggrandizing phony.

There's a great report out this week about the effectiveness of radio advertising to car sellers.
Radio plays a dominant role, whether people are considering a vehicle purchase or spending time in a vehicle. The closer listeners get to purchasing or leasing a vehicle, the more important a part radio advertising plays. And radio is a top "must-have" for automotive buyers of every age.
These are just some of the key findings stemming from the RADIO ADVERTISING BUREAU's new service to help radio stations sell locally and highlight the buying power of radio listeners coast to coast.

Music genres
Bachelors are an Irish country and rock music harmony band that was founded in 1957 by Conleth (Con) Cluskey, Declan (Dec) Cluskey and John Stokes. In the beginning, they performed at local bars. During one of their performances, they caught attention of a music manager, who later helped to get a record contract to the band. They quickly gained popularity with a number of hit singles such as "Faraway Places", "Charmaine", "Long Time Ago", "Diane", "I Believe" and many others. In 1964, they produced their most commercially successful album, The Bachelors' Hits, which reached number one in the UK. Several decades later, they released their first compilation album entitled I Believe - Very Best Of The Bachelors, which included their greatest hits. Now, you may download this album by Bachelors in mp3 from our site.

Last minute races: a definite do.
On Tuesday morning, while sitting in my apartment doing work and contemplating all this mileage I've been racking up over the last few weeks, I came across a Facebook post from Fit Chick In The City informing me that New York Road Runners had added a limited number of entries for the More/Fitness Half Marathon. Hmm, I thought to myself. I could so easily do that, couldn't I?
The More/Fitness Half Marathon had actually been on my mind for quite some time now. A few months ago, after completing the Manhattan Half Marathon, I had intended on signing up for one more longer race before the summer – but missed the deadline for the event. Oh well, I thought. No big. And it wasn't. With the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler rapidly approaching, I figured I'd instead turn my focus to running the race down south with a little oomph, and I'd satisfy my need for achievement that way.
Well, the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler came and went. It was an awesome experience, and afterward, I was excited not to have another race to prepare for (save for a 10k in June) for all of 5 minutes. It didn't take long to hit me. My half marathon thirst couldn't be quenched even with a wildly successful almost-half-marathon-distance race. At the same time, however, I wasn't exactly enthusiastic about signing up for a half marathon anytime down the road either.
Remember when I freaked out about the Brooklyn Half Marathon not long ago, saying that I just wasn't ready to dedicate myself to true half-marathon training mode? I wasn't pulling your leg. The thought of a half marathon mid-may still sounds unappealing to me, since it would mean I'd have to keep up my mileage for at least another month. Coincidentally, I happen to be in perfect race shape now. Which is why, as soon as I discovered that there was space left in the More/Fitness Half this weekend – right in my own backyard at that – the gears starting turning. Within minutes, I knew there was no turning back. My mind was set.
I have to say, now that I'm officially signed up with just 5 days to go, I'm really excited about the race. On the one hand, I know I'm ready, and if this makes any sense at all, I love that I never had to mentally prepare to physically prepare. I've trained; I just didn't call it training. Between an amazing 12-mile run with my cousin, a great 10-mile race with friends, and a leisurely 8-mile run with Noah this past Sunday – and many, many, many consistent 4 to 6-mile runs throughout the week – I'm not sure whether I could have designed a better training program even if I had the time to do so. Whether or not it felt like it, I might as well apply all this hard work toward the greater good of a race, right?
Still, there are other reasons why I'm looking forward to the More/Fitness Half Marathon, and that's the overall sense of familiarity I have with the terrain. I mean, how many times have I run those hills before? Granted, I vowed to never climb Harlem Hill twice in once day ever again after the Manhattan Half Marathon, but the last time I ran almost that exact course, it was 30 degrees and blizzarding. While I know that the inclines can be a real bitch, I'm thinking that there are enough elements working with me to get me through all 13.1 miles and to the finish line with relative ease.
So here I am. Less than 24 hours ago, I had nowhere to run. Now, I have less than 5 days to prepare myself for my third half marathon to date – my third in less than a year at that. I'm not gonna lie to you; part of me is filled with anxiety. It took all of 4 hours to develop an ulcer, in fact (not a joke). But a huge part of me is really proud of myself too, and for someone who puts a lot of pressure on herself, that can be a really hard feeling to find.
Now that my 5-day plan is out on the table, I'm also going to take this opportunity to proclaim that this will be my last blog post for the week. Since launching Will Run For Glitter in January, I've done a pretty solid job of managing my personal and professional life with my running and blogging. My impromptu decision to run the More/Fitness Half Marathon is going to swipe a big chunk of my schedule (and sanity) though in a very, very short period of time, and so in order to work, play, have two lovely dinners with my boyfriend's family this weekend and manage to do laundry, the time I take to tell all of you about the aforementioned events is going to have to be put on hold – just until Sunday after the race. In truth, I don't have that much going on this week anyway, now that I have to concentrate on eating veggies and whole grains, chugging water, and getting plenty of sleep.
The quick and dirty: On Tuesday night, Noah and I skipped Yoga Vida's adanced class and instead went to an overcrowded flow yoga class with Alec Baldwin's fiance. It was too much of a workout and not enough yoga (sorry Hilaria, I'm not a speedy girl); the two of us prefer flows that focus on extended stretching and whatnot. The class was definitely not for runners. Wednesday, I took a moderately paced 5-ish-mile jog along the East River with a friend super early.
In the coming days, I'm absolutely, positively throwing in a rest day – or even 2 – to better prepare my body for the race. It's been a while since I've recharged my batteries, and if I know the hills of Central Park, I'm going to need a lot of lightening to power through them.
Over and out.
Have you ever made a last minute decision to race on a total whim? What was it, and how'd you feel right afterward? Are you running in the More/Fitness Half Marathon this weekend? What are your race strategies? What will you be wearing? Are you excited? A big good luck to everyone!

18 November 2014 - Christian Aid is distributing essential household items to Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone this week as part of an initiative launched by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to meet Ebola survivors' immediate needs and help them rebuild their lives.

The two organisations have formed a one-off partnership to donate UNDP solidarity kits to 68 Ebola survivor households in the Bo and Western Area districts. These kits contain food, household items and hygiene supplies to enable those discharged from treatment centres to start afresh, after returning to their homes to find all their possessions destroyed.
Nearly 900 people have survived the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone, but they are now being stigmatised and treated as outcasts by their communities as fear of the disease grips the country. Those who become infected have their belongings either burned or disinfected with concentrated chlorine, in order to eliminate any risk of transmission of the virus.
Funded by the UNDP, the solidarity kits include foam mattresses, kitchen utensils, crockery, shoes, fabric, toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, female sanitary supplies and laundry powder, together with food items such as beans, sugar, oil, powdered milk, baby food and eggs.
Jeanne Kamara, Christian Aid Country Manager for Sierra Leone, said: "Those fortunate enough to have survived the Ebola virus are left with next to nothing. The joy of surviving the devastating virus is quickly overshadowed by the pain of having everything they own destroyed during the decontamination process.
"In addition to losing all their possessions, survivors and their families find themselves facing stigma in their communities and with little means of rebuilding their lives. Those living hand-to-mouth simply cannot afford to replace all their belongings – particularly in homes where the main breadwinner has died from the virus. That's why Christian Aid is pleased to partner with UNDP on this initiative, so that together we can ensure that Ebola survivors, who have already suffered so much, can start afresh without the added anxiety of having no clothes, bedding, cooking utensils or food.
"By working through our existing structures and local partners in the districts of Bo and the Western Area, these UNDP solidarity kits will reach those who desperately need our support to get back on their feet. Christian Aid plans to replicate and scale up this work using appeal funds, so that we can reach even more people."
The project is targeting deprived rural communities and the most vulnerable households, including homes with children under-five and homes with pregnant women or lactating mothers.
Saskia Marijnissen, Programme Manager of Energy, Environment and Natural Resources at UNDP Sierra Leone said: "The Ebola crisis is impacting everybody's lives, in many different ways. Although they beat Ebola and won back their lives, in many cases the survivors have lost their livelihoods.
"UNDP works together with partners who are on the ground, like Christian Aid, to reach out to the people who survived Ebola with some extra support that can help get them back on their feet. We provide tailored kits to help empower survivors and by doing so, we also hope to send a message that survivors should not be stigmatised and excluded – but instead they require extra support and solidarity."
Where possible, Christian Aid partners and UNDP are working to ensure that they reach all survivors in a particular locality, rather than servicing larger settlements where only a fraction of the target group can be reached.

Interviews by Seray Bangura and Tamba Tengbeh, in Freetown.
'I felt all hope was lost'
Hawa Bangura, 33, lives in the poor rural neighbourhood of Waterloo – an Ebola hotspot on the edge of Sierra Leone's capital city, Freetown. She has lost 10 relatives to the virus, including a four-year-old child. Hawa survived it, but has since faced stigma and rejection in her community. She tells her story here:
"Before, I didn't believe Ebola existed: not because I hadn't seen anyone infected with the virus, but because I was confused by the different messages coming from different people. I didn't know who to believe.
"My four-year-old child fell ill with a high fever and few days later I also fell ill with a high fever, headache, body weakness and fatigue. My husband took me to several health centres close by for treatment, but I was rejected by all of them because of my condition.
"Left with no option, my child and I were taken to the Connaught Government Hospital in Freetown. My blood was tested, and without me knowing the result I was transferred by ambulance to the 34 Military Hospital [also in Freetown], where I lost my child. How he was buried, and where, is still a mystery to me.
"One week later, I was transferred again to the Hastings Ebola Treatment Centre. By this time, my condition has worsened. I was vomiting and bleeding everywhere: that was then I realised I was carrying the Ebola virus. I felt like I had just been sentenced to death. I felt all hope was lost.
"I was sad most of the time and could not do anything for myself. Seeing new patients admitted almost every day, people dying, all I could think was: 'When it will be my turn?' The world and scientists call it 'Ebola'; the people in my community named it 'a killer'; I refer to it as 'a death sentence'.
"While I was at the treatment centre, my husband was under quarantine. To my great surprise I discovered my nephew in the hospital, also struck down with Ebola, and this caused me more pain. I lost 10 of my relatives to Ebola. However, the healthcare workers who were caring for me were constantly giving me words of encouragement: to be strong, to forget about what had happened to me and to trust in God for my survival. I took their advice.
"After two weeks in the treatment centre, with a series of tests conducted, I was declared Ebola-free! Seeing the doctors and nurses smiling and celebrating my survival brought me so much joy and relief. I love them so much. Two days later I was discharged from the hospital with a certificate confirming my status.
"After surviving the virus, I returned to my community in Waterloo, full of life, energy and new hopes for a better life ahead. But I didn't realise that my battle continued outside the isolation and treatment centres. I was rejected by my community people, who claimed that I and my nephew escaped from the treatment centre and were still infected with the Ebola virus.
"We were denied the right to pray in at least three mosques; community leaders who should have been protecting us showed no concern. This caused me more pain than I had felt living in the treatment care, where I was shown love by the healthcare workers. It hurts me when my community people stigmatise me: this makes me sad."
'My world has fallen apart'
Aminata Fofanah, 25, lived with over 10 members of her family in a two-bedroom house in Freetown's Waterloo suburb. Her mother became ill, and like many families they initially tried taking care of her at home. Believing that it wasn't a case of Ebola, all the family members did what they could to support her. Neighbours close by also visited her from time to time.
After approximately two weeks, Aminata's mother died. The case was reported to the authorities and the house was quarantined. During this quarantine period Aminata lost 17 members of her family, including her husband. She and her two children are the only survivors.
Aminata, like many other Ebola survivors now faces discrimination and stigma in her community: people are afraid of her and have refused to accept her and her children. They have even refused to continue buying goods from her petty trading business.
Aminata is now concerned about how she and her children will survive. "Life has become unbearable for me: no-one to turn to, no-one to support me and no family to depend on. My world has fallen apart," she said.
'I want my son back'
Aminata Kanu, 32, lost her husband and 10-year-old daughter to Ebola. "My husband was very sick. He was carried away by some police officers and health workers. Seeing them spraying every area of our home [with disinfectant] and closing every door left me with no hope of returning alive," she recalls. She was quarantined for over two weeks at the Hastings Treatment Centre in Freetown, with little hope of survival.
Now that she has been discharged from the centre, Aminata is worried about the welfare and whereabouts of her only surviving child, who is eight years old. She asks herself: "Where could he be living? Who would he be living with? Could he be living in the streets or is he dead?"
She has no answers. All she knows, from her neighbours' accounts, is that a church minister took the boy away, leaving no contact details behind. "I am frustrated because the Ebola disease has brought me untold suffering," she said. "I have lost my husband, my daughter, and now my only son is missing. I want my son back."

FDA Menu Labeling Rule:
PFMA opposes the currently proposed menu labeling rule as it is a one-size-fits-all approach, and doesn't take into account the wide variety of grocery and convenience store formats that exist in the marketplace.
The proposed rule
uses the number of locations and floor space instead of sales from food intended for immediate consumption to determine who falls under the rule.
PFMA supports legislation (HR 772 and S 261) that would address the Food and Drug Administration's menu labeling regulation, and provide regulatory flexibility to affected businesses. The legislation was introduced with 35 co-sponsors, and similar legislation passed the House last year, but was not brought forward for consideration in the Senate.
SNAP Cuts and Restrictions:
PFMA opposes additional cuts and restrictions to the SNAP program. This is an important program for providing healthy, fresh foods to low-income individuals, and helps consumers and businesses who participate. The positive return on investment of this program is well-documented in the public sphere. As members of local food boards in the communities to which they belong, PFMA members see the importance of this program in helping families thrive during difficult times.
Tobacco, E-Cigarettes and OTP Taxes:
PFMA opposes new taxes on cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products.
Data Security
PFMA has joined with state and national partners to encourage Congress to include PFMA's industries and sectors of the economy to find a reasonable, fair and effective solution to this issue which protects customers and doesn't adversely impact one industry versus another.
EPA Proposed Clean Air Act Standards For Ozone:
PFMA opposes the EPA's new proposed stringent clean air act standards for ozone. PFMA is part of a national coalition opposing the new standards. The standards would bring the current standard from 75 parts per billion (ppb) to a range between 70 ppb to 65 ppb, and ask for comment on a standard all the way down to 60 ppb. These new standards would put jobs at risk and place a cap on new or expanding businesses in the nonattainment areas which are covered by the proposed standards.
Minimum Wage Increases:
PFMA opposes the multiple proposals to raise the Federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and higher, and tie future wage increases to the Consumer Price Index.
Department of Labor Changes to Overtime Rules:
PFMA opposes the proposed changes by the department of labor which would amend exemptions for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales and computer employees. Also, PFMA opposes the increasing of the salary level required for the white collar exemptions and the highly compensated exemption and annual automatic updating of those levels.
The Regulatory Accountability Act (RAA):
PFMA supports legislation (H.R. 5 by Goodlatte) which would improve the process by which federal agencies promulgate regulations to improve accountability and the integrity of the rulemaking process. The bill would not prevent federal agencies from issuing regulations or accomplishing needed regulatory objectives. It would, however, make the regulatory process more transparent, agencies more accountable, and regulations more carefully designed.
The FAMILY Act:
PFMA opposes this bill, which was reintroduced and sponsored by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) that would provide workers with 12-weeks of paid leave when they are pregnant, the birth or adoption of a child, or personal family health issues. The FAMILY Act would pay for paid leave through the use of payroll contributions and would be open to all workers. PFMA opposes government mandated leave ordinances.
Border Adjustment Tax:
PFMA is part of a national group of companies and organizations opposed to the proposed border adjustment tax. We believe this tax will significantly increase the cost of essential products on American families.
EPA/RINS/Point of Obligation Change:
PFMA opposes any change from the current RINS point of obligation which are comprised of refiners, importers, and manufacturers, to position holders or fuel blending entities in the transportation fuel supply chain) that would dilute the market and negatively impact those currently participating.
The FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017
: PFMA supports this bill (HR 1136 by Reps. Cole and Bishop) to change the predicate date for newly "deemed" tobacco products, impose common-sense licensing, and advertising guidelines for vapor products and direct the FDA to establish product standards for vapor product batteries.
S. 413 and H.R. 1038:
PFMA supports this legislation which would prohibit retroactive direct and indirect remuneration (DIR) fees charged to pharmacies by pharmacy benefit managers in Medicare Part D. The bill has been introduced in Congress (S. 413 and H.R. 1038) by Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Jon Tester (D-MT) and Representatives Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and Peter Welch (D-VT). The legislation is part of an effort to address the emerging problem of rising costs and unpredictability of these fees, as highlighted in a recent report by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

First ever edible dress showcased in North Yorkshire
12:01am 16th May 2012
To celebrate using local produce at York races , the County's first ever edible dress will be unveiled.
Last year they made a racehourse statue made entirely of local veg.
The dress will be made entirely of fresh local produce, including asparagus, spring greens and lettus.
Press Release from York Racecourse:
Asparagus Farmer and Local sourcing champion Ronda Morritt will be modelling a dress made entirely of fresh edible local produce-including her farm fresh asparagus.
Fashion is always top of the agenda at York Races, so when York Racecourse Hospitality wanted to celebrate their commitment to using locally produced food on race goers plates, it commissioned an haute couture dress made entirely from Yorkshire produce.
The dress made from asparagus, lettuce, and spring greens is worn by Asparagus Farmer and Local Food Campaigner Ronda Morritt-Yorkshire's Own Version of Lady Gaga. Ronda's grows 12 acres of asparagus from her 300 acre farm near Sand Hutton and supplies the course and county what many consider spring's finest delicacy.
The elegant dress made from actual spring greens is accented with Yorkshire puddings baked on site by the course's chefs. The dress and accessories were designed and made by local dressmaker and graduate of Huddersfield School of Art and Design Charlotte Miles and Jennifer Middleton.
Nick Fazackerley of York Racecourse Hospitality explains:
"We use more local produce than any other race course in the country. We're renowned for our commitment to local farmers and producers and proudly serve the best of what the county produces."
"The cold and changeable spring has presented a huge challenge for our chefs to source the quantities we need to keep our commitment to local sourcing. Asparagus in particular has been hard fought for as the crop has been slow coming to market. It's important that we continue to support Yorkshire's farmers and producers, particularly when the weather plays havoc with the supply chain."
"We're looking forward to giving racegoers a proper taste of Yorkshire's finest-whatever the weather."
This year's race programme starts with the Dante Festival from 16-18 May
Foodie Factfile:
Local Sourcing: Yorkshire is arguably the Britain's most foodie county - boasting a whopping 6 Michelin starred restaurants in the county. With a wealth of distinctive and delicious local produce, much of which is made by small artisan producers, York Racecourse tops the list as the UK course with outstanding food.
York Racecourse Hospitality has a remarkable commitment to local sourcing & high cooking standards. The course has its own butchery, hanging its meat for 21 days. Everything is made from scratch from sauces to terrines - choux pastry to ice cream.
Dante Festival Factfile
In 15 kitchens, over 70 managers 50 chefs and 600 serving staff at York Racecourse preparing and serving food throughout the day.
Here's a sample of what they'll be preparing:
2,225 spears of local asparagus
230 wheels of local artisan cheese
5,500 bottles of champagne
2,500 Jugs of Pimms
2100 kg of local beef on the bone
220 kg of locally smoked salmon
125 kg of fresh lobster
300 kg of peeled prawns
800 dressed crabs
7,500 rounds of sandwiches made fresh on site
540 kg of strawberries
3,500 freshly made scones for tea and over 4,500 cups of Yorkshire Tea served
2,300 Portions of Clotted Cream with freshly baked scones
2,550 Rock Oysters
190k of South Coast Fresh fish (Hake Fillet, Red Gurnards & Seabass)

This is a non-credit bearing course.
Technical Requirements
You must have the following:
For further details: Full technical specifications (pdf)
Please note: If you do not have the equipment listed, you will need to purchase it as funding is not available for IT equipment.
The course requires your active participation to undertake research, solve problems and analyse data. Topics are approached in meaningful contexts in order to encourage you to explore concepts rather than to simply accept knowledge, and to look at what may be familiar subject knowledge in a different way and therefore develop a better understanding of the subject. This approach will help you to model the pedagogic approach that has been proven to facilitate learning in the classroom.
The aim is to direct you to construct your own knowledge through carrying out a series of tasks and activities. You are expected to form a deeper understanding of the concepts behind the issues under discussion and to form an appreciation of their wider context. Where possible, ideas encountered in the on-demand material are linked to classroom practice and vested in practical science.
The course looks briefly at Key Stage 3 themes and approaches, continuing through and beyond Key Stage 4 to secure your subject knowledge sufficiently to support your teaching at AS/A-level, if required. Most of the sessions have a task associated with them which SKE participants are expected to undertake. These tasks are generally of higher GCSE or A-level standard.
We are currently awaiting confirmation from the NCTL (National College for Teaching and Leadership) as to the funding and bursary arrangements for courses starting in 2017-18. We will update this page when these arrangements have been confirmed.
Applicants who do not meet the NCTL funding criteria will need to pay the tuition fee.
The fees for 2017/18 will be confirmed as soon as possible.
(According to the CCCU SKE Student Evaluation Survey)
I embarked on my teaching career by first undertaking the Subject Knowledge Enhancement course with Canterbury Christ Church University. I had chosen Physics as my main subject and found all the pre-recorded sessions extremely informative in refreshing my knowledge, some topics of which I had not thought about so deeply for almost 20 years, since taking my undergraduate degree. The weekly live tutorials brought the subject back to life and enabled me to think about how I could teach Physics at GCSE and A Level. I appreciated the development of the online portfolio and once complete I really felt that I had achieved something so great in such a short space of time (8 weeks). The online resources were plentiful and gave me scope to develop ideas further. As I was abroad for more than half of the course I found no problem in accessing the resources, sessions, portfolio and tutorials. I also had access to the Chemistry and Biology sessions. I would recommend the SKE at CCCU to anyone who is thinking of becoming a teacher. Thank you to all the lecturers, tutors and support staff for making such an enjoyable and informative course.
Louise, SKE student
Applications for the Subject Knowledge Enhancement course for the 2016/17 academic year are now closed. The application form for the SKE courses for 2017/18 will be posted here when available.
8, 12, 16 or 20 weeks - full-time(25 hrs/wk minimum average)
Course Dates
Pre-ITT: You must have accepted a conditional offer of an ITT place where the conditions indicate an SKE course must be completed.
Post-ITT (serving teachers): Places must be requested through a group of Teaching School Alliances (TSAs) that have secured the funding for courses this year. The TSA can then commission us to provide access to the SKE course materials.
Other: We can provide our SKE courses to candidates who can't secure a free place but would still benefit from completing a course.

As a teenager, Jane lost a child in her charge, Lily, and her life has never been the same. After the incident in t he woods, Jane's life is divided into "before" and "after."
In graduate school, Jane is interested in the strange disappearance of a girl from a nearby Victorian lunatic asylum. Strangely, the girl disappears nearly one hundred years before but in the same woods where Lily disappeared.
The other two escapees from the asylum are found, but the girl, named N. is never found. No records exist for N. which intrigues Jane.
Hunter stretched the boundaries of fiction with her point-of-view choices. Since Jane is an archivist for the Chester Museum, disembodied voices or ghosts are drawn to her. Readers get to hear these voices who remember some faces and incidents from their past but not their names.
Will these voices lead Jane to find out what happened to Lily and N.?
Wherever Jane goes she's an outsider. She does nothing to assert herself until she slaps a man who has affronted her. The man happens to be the father of the Lily, William Eliot.

Craving Coats
24 comments
By far my favorite is the Tulraosa in Dusk! Different from anything I've seen on anyone else! ;)ReplyDelete
Its gorgeous isn't it and I bet your could just wear PJ's under there and no one would know. Pure luxury right there lol! XxDelete
Oh how I love coats! But living in CA we don't always have much use for them. I'm loving the polka dot one and the black & red one. Great finds!ReplyDelete
Coats are the one perk to living in a cold wet country. 2 weeks in to winter here though and I'll be wishing I lives were you do, haha :)xxDelete
I'm totally in love with the 2nd coat and that polka dot coat is TOO cute!ReplyDelete
Ugh, I love coats, and that first one is to die for. Please invest in all of the above so we can live vicariously through you :)ReplyDelete
-Sara, Road to the Heart
I totally want the Met Your March Coat coat for myself but since I live in AZ, where it would probably never get cold enough to wear it, I think you need it! You have fabulous taste in jackets!ReplyDelete
Ohh, I am swooning for the checked duffle coat!ReplyDelete
OMG you need the first one! It's totally amazing! I have to far to many coats to justify a new one but if I could THAT would defo be my choice! HEAVEN 😊ReplyDelete

Hope you are well, Stel xx
I absolutely love the first coat. They are all great, but if you don't already have a bright, standout coat, I'd go with that one.ReplyDelete
I'm a coat fanatic too. In part because I am so tall that if I find one that fits my long arms I feel like I *have* to buy it. And in part because I like being warm and dry.
I like the The Enchanting Illustrator Coat and the Tularosa Coat in Dusk.ReplyDelete
Jo. x
It's so impractical compared to the others but the first coat is so unique. And it reminds me of your style the most! xReplyDelete
I love the polka dot one and the duffle coat, but that first one went straight to my ModCloth love list the day it was put online. I am CRAZY about it and NEED it bad, buuut I don't think I'll be getting it since we are saving money like mad right now. I haven't purchased anything in weeeeeks! I'm tweaking out over here! lol So whatever you get, I will live happily vicariously through you. :)ReplyDelete
I looove the last one. What a beauty!ReplyDelete
Hands down, the first one, charming illustrator. Where is it from? It's insane in it's beauty! I can totally see you in it.ReplyDelete
I love coats as well, all my coats are statement coats. I may need to buy a new one now!! XX
Enchanting I mean..ReplyDelete
Great choice, I just wish it cool down soon, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhReplyDelete
