Anti-Anxiety medication linked to depression and Death.
In the last decade, prescriptions for anti-anxiety medications and sleep aids have been increasing. And this trend isn't just true for adults; many adolescents are written prescriptions for these drugs from family doctors. But as with many conditions, drug treatment should be a last resort, not the first thing you turn to.
Powerful Home-made Anti-Anxiety Elixir
Lemon and honey are known for their soothing and relaxation benefits. Certain compounds in honey have a calming effect, this is prominent when taken in significant amounts.
2 Tsp Lemon Juice
2 Tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tsp Raw Honey
Add everything to a bowl, mix well and take three times a day.
The great news is that these herbs can be either taken internally or used in aromatherapy. If taken internally, 80 mg daily is the suggested dosage for lavender, while the ideal dosage for lemon balm is 60 drops from a tincture daily.
Herbs To Calm Anxiety Naturally
Lemon balm
Research published in 2004, for instance, gave participants a single dose of lemon balm extract (300 mg or 600 mg) or a placebo, then measured their mood after one hour. The higher dose resulted in reduced stress and improved calmness and alertness. Even the lower dose helped participants do math problems more quickly.

Apocalypse: War
This piece is the third in a series of pieces I was challenged to do after a long religious debate with some friends, speculating on what deities/powers in the biblical based religions might possibly be female. And what *my* take on them would be. I chose to do the four horsemen of the apocalypse, obviously loosing the horses entirely and reverting ' pestilence' back to 'strife' (or the king of kings) for a variety of reasons. This isn't intended as an insult to any religions based on the bible, it's just... speculation among friends.
The majority of this piece was done with watercolors, while her skin and the scythe were done in colored pencils. I tend to skip around in watercolor brands, but the pencils are always Prismacolor.
The original has gone to a good home.

I am now almost 32 week's pregnant and i am well into my third and final trimester of my third pregnancy and i am getting so close to my due date, if baby was to arrive any time soon he would now have a very good chance of survival. So i thought that it would be nice to look back on what my second trimester was actually like, all the pregnancy books and magazine's often tell you that the second trimester is the best as you have energy, you get a bump and feel baby's movements for the first time and hopefully if you suffer morning sickness it should have disappeared by now and you are glowing and blooming and fully enjoying pregnancy. And i have to admit the second trimester is actually probably my best but for me personally it is not quiet as amazing as book's/ magazines and films actually make it out to be.
|13 week scan
The second trimester runs from week's 13-28 of pregnancy and at week 13 of pregnancy i had just had my very first dating scan and found out baby's due date of 26.08.14, i was relieved to find out that everything seemed o.k with baby and we could finally tell everyone that we were going to have a baby! It was also discovered at 13 week's that i was suffering from pregnancy induced high blood pressure and i was put on medication for this. But apart from that i was feeling fine, i really have been lucky this pregnancy that i have not really suffered from any sickness, craving's , aches and pain's or heartburn etc.
I started to get a bump and due to this being my third baby i actually started feeling kicks at around 14 week's and feeling baby's movement's really is the best part of pregnancy for me as it is so magical knowing there is a little person growing inside me and that he is o.k . I had my 20 week scan and even though we wanted to find out baby's gender we were unable to as he had his leg's crossed and also the placenta and his hand were in the way. We were going to keep baby's gender a surprise until birth but when i had a growth scan ( as there is concerns baby is a bit small due to my blood pressure medication) at 28 week's baby had it's legs wide open for all to see and it was obvious that we were having a little boy which was a huge shock as i had been so sure that i was having another little girl! But we are so happy to be having a boy and we already have his name picked out Jacob Oliver which is actually the name that we had picked out if Sophia had of been a little boy.
Health wise since starting my blood pressure medication my blood pressure has been completely normal and i have been getting it checked first weekly and then fortnightly throughout my second trimester so that if i do develop pre eclampsia which i am at risk of then it will hopefully be picked up early on. I have also had a glucose tolerance test at 24 week's pregnant which was due to diabetes running in my mum's side of the family and thankfully that was fine and i do not have gestational diabetes.
Baby wise he is really active and he has developed a pattern of when he is most active, i normally get lot's of kicks after i have ate, when i am in the bath and when i go to bed, he is actually most active on a night time and often keeps me awake with his kicks. At first they were just little wriggles but towards the end of my second trimester i was getting big movements and you can actually see my tummy moving through my clothing and you can feel and see his little feet sticking out my side sometimes which is a little bit painful at times but still amazing to see.
How i have been feeling , i really have been feeling pretty good this trimester i have had more energy then i did in my first trimester but i have not had loads of energy like people often say you will but that is probably down to the fact that i am running around after a one year old toddler all day. Am i glowing like people often mention? I would not say so, yes my skin feels really smooth and my hair does not get dirty as quickly as normal but my hair has not went lovely and thick and long like it did with Sophia and i don't think i am glowing as most people just comment on how tired i look rather then how good i look.
Do i have a big bump? You can obviously tell i am pregnant and have a bump but it is not huge and i would love to look hugely pregnant as sometimes i think i just look fat rather then pregnant, i feel like i am bigger all over this pregnancy i have actually gone up a clothes size in maternity clothes as i have gained weight all over my body. As for lovely big boob's that pregnant women are often blessed with? I think someone forgot to tell my body about this perk of pregnancy as it has not happend to me at all they have stayed the same size but they actually look smaller due to my huge belly. And one thing no one warns you about is crazy hormones turning me into a vile creature i don't know how my poor other half has not left me yet as all i do is nag him, have a go at him or burst into tears for no reason.
Eating for two? one of the perks of pregnancy people often talk about is 'eating for two' obviously i know this is not recommended but pregnancy is the one time in a woman's life where she does not have to worry about her weight or her jean's being too tight, it is also a excuse to give into the cravings for cake's and other goodies that we normally deprive are self of and a great excuse to get the other half to go to the shop's for you late at night in the rain for a bar of chocolate. But you know what i have not really had any craving's i have ate thing's in this pregnancy that i would not normally eat like kebab - shudder. But i have not had any cravings like i did with the girls, i have never woke up in the middle of the night and ate cake's or pickled onions dipped in chocolate or any other weird food combinations that is often shown on t.v/ movies. I also have not really been eating a lot more then normal either i am normally starving in a morning when i wake up and have been eating a lot of carbs ( mainly bread) but other then that i have not been eating for two so i am rather disappointed i have pilled on so much weight i would not mind getting huge if i had been enjoying myself eating cakes and chinese food everyday but sadly i have not.
|17 week bump
And lastly the thing that is often portrayed as a blissful amazing second trimester is that we spend all day baby shopping/reading baby magazines/being pampered / and having amazing date's with are partner. This is far from reality for me firstly i have not even started baby shopping yet i have brought baby one babygrow from next and two hats and a that's it so far, i know i really need to start baby shopping but i don't actually need that much stuff as i fell pregnant when Sophia was six month's old so i have all of the big stuff and i did not want to buy any clothes until i knew what gender baby was which i only found out a few week's ago. Reading baby books? I admit i do read mother and baby magazine every month but that's it i don't have any baby books and i don't have lots of apps on my phone that i check daily for updates on what baby is up to i have not got a clue what my baby should weigh or what developments it is reaching each week simply because i have been pregnant twice before and i know most of what the books will tell me any ways. Being pampered? Ha no chance i am so busy looking after my girls and the house there is no time for being pampered my idea of relaxation is a quick bath if i'm lucky. And date's with the other half? on the rare chance we get to go out for a meal these days the girls normally end up tagging along too as we don't have anyone to watch them.
|28 week bump
But you know what , yes my second trimester has not been like what is portrayed as the perfect pregnancy in the media but i have loved every second of it and it has been good although it has flown over so quickly and i can not wait to discover what my third trimester is like and to meet my baby at the end of it .

Hybrid courses allow students additional exposure to course content that is not possible in a traditional classroom environment. This exposure may lead to an improvement in academic performance. In this report, I describe the transition of a large undergraduate exercise physiology course from a traditional lecture format to a hybrid lecture-online format. A total of 658 final grades (traditional = 346, hybrid = 312) was used to evaluate the effect of course format on academic performance. The hybrid online portion was delivered using WebCT Vista, enhanced with various instructional technologies. The hybrid lecture portion was enhanced with an in-class response system. PowerPoint files were used to distribute in-class lectures in both formats of the course. Final student grades were 9.9% higher (83% of the increase due to an increase in the exam grade) when the course was administered in a hybrid format (P = 0.01), which translated to a one letter grade increase on a standard grading scale. Transition from a traditional lecture format to a hybrid format significantly enhanced student learning; presumably, this increase is due to the fact that students were able to increase their exposure to course content via access to material on WebCT.

- exercise science
advances in instructional technology have been instrumental in providing students a custom-tailored learning environment. Some of these advanced include hybrid learning styles that combine online, self-paced content with traditional classroom lectures (2–5, 7). The online delivery format has evolved considerably over the past 10 years. Recently, classroom management software (i.e., WebCT, Blackboard, eClassrooms, etc.) has become very popular, and the majority of college campuses utilize this technology. Online course delivery can be enhanced by the addition of content that a student can complete in a self-paced manner (2, 8, 11). Also, a variety of learning games and other digital media can be employed to facilitate comprehension and learning. Beyond the online environment, several advances have been made in the traditional classroom environment, including the use of interactive in-class response systems (6, 10). In-class response systems allow instructors to track student understanding in large courses in a real-time manner.
The key objective of the present study was to describe the method employed for modifying a traditional lecture-based upper-division exercise physiology course (KIN 3306) at a large urban university. It was hypothesized that the hybrid format would be associated with a significant increase in student academic performance. The purpose of this investigation was to compare final student grades in the same exercise physiology course taught in either a traditional or hybrid format.
Program Description
Course data utilized.
To prepare the present report, student grade data were used from the following six semesters of KIN 3306 (Physiology of Human Performance): Fall 2004 (traditional format, n = 117 students), Spring 2005 (traditional format, n = 94), Summer 2005 (traditional format, n = 41), Fall 2005 (traditional format, n = 94), Summer 2006 (transition format, n = 48), Fall 2006 (hybrid format, n = 191), and Summer 2007 (hybrid format, n = 73). The sample set included 346 students who took the course in a traditional face-to-face lecture format and 312 students who took the course in a hybrid lecture-online format. The hybrid design used included 1.5 h/wk online and an additional 1.5 h/wk in a traditional classroom setting. The details of the two course formats are described in detail below (Fig. 1). All exams used the same question bank in each format of the course. The lead instructor for all course sections included in this sample was the author (B. K. McFarlin).
Traditional class format.
In this course format, students attended two 1.5-h lectures/wk in a traditional classroom designed to hold between 100 and 200 students. Lectures were formatted such that two to three lectures were dedicated to each topic and broken down as follows: one lecture for general, introductory material and the remaining lectures for advanced material related to the particular exercise physiology topic. Course lectures were administered using PowerPoint slides (Microsoft, Redmond, WA) and Flash (Macromedia, San Jose, CA) media-based animations whenever possible. Common Flash animations included those of skeletal muscle contraction, nerve conduction, heart contraction, etc. These animations were also employed in the hybrid format. As is common in a course with a large number of students enrolled, there was minimal interaction (in terms of questions being asked) between the lead professor and students. The course was scheduled at a similar time each semester (typically between 1000 and 1200 hours). The course grade was determined using a norm-referenced system based on the student's final point total. In this course, the grade distribution was typically skewed to the left. Skewness was removed by centering the grades on a normal scale, using the average point total and SD. Points were accumulated as follows: exam 1 (120 points), exam 2 (120 points), exam 3 (120 points), and attendance (50 points) for a total of 410 points.
Hybrid course format.
One reason that we chose to transition from a traditional format to a hybrid format was to respond to previous comments given by students during formal course evaluations. Students frequently reported that the course did not take advantage of current instructional technologies, which may allow additional access to course content. To address these concerns, KIN 3306 was transitioned to a hybrid format during the Summer 2006 session. A hybrid course is considered to offer 50% of the instruction in a traditional manner and 50% in an online manner. For the transition, the introductory, general lectures for each topic (described above) were moved to WebCT for delivery. The first stage of this process was to identify which technologies would be included in the first hybrid offering. It was decided that the online portion of the course would be administered via WebCT Vista (Washington, DC) because this is the software standardized for our campus. The WebCT environment was customized for this class using course-specific banners (Fig. 2A) and an interactive SitePal avatar on the homepage to provide course announcements (Fig. 2B). The SitePal character was created by OddCast (New York, NY) from a digital picture of the author. I acknowledge that course announcements could have been easily provided as only text announcements; however, the objective of using the SitePal interface was to better engage the students when they loaded the WebCT homepage by providing a face to go with the class. Once the basic WebCT site was created, the next objective was to create, produce, and organize course material. It was determined that it would be ideal to offer students access to online lectures that provided basic material in support of advanced topics, which would be covered during the in-class lectures. To accomplish this task, PowerPoint files similar to what would be presented during the in-class lectures were created and voice narrated using Articulate Studio (New York, NY) (Fig. 3). The process of creating the online lectures was as follows: 1) develop the rough storyboard, 2) make the slides, 3) write the spoken script, 4) record the audio dialogue, 5) link the audio portion to PowerPoint animations using Articulate Studio, 6) incorporate the learning games, 7) build the practice SCORM (industry standard term for web-based learning module) module, 8) test in the product in WebCT, 9) correct any issues noted during the test in WebCT, 10) rebuild the package into a corrected SCORM module, and 11) load the final module onto WebCT. The module was also produced into a downloadable storyboard that was also uploaded to WebCT in MS Word format. One major advantage of the Articulate software is that it enhances the appearance of standard PowerPoint files by allowing the course designer to add self-test questions, provide a search function, and provide a navigable menu. A conservative estimate is that it took between 16 and 20 h to create, narrate, and publish each online lecture for this course. Once students completed the online lecture, they were required to take a WebCT quiz over the topic. They were allowed two attempts to take each quiz, and thus the majority of students got between 90% and 100% of the points on these assignments. The purpose of allowing two attempts was to make sure that the students learned and understood all the material that was covered in the online lecture.
The key objective of the online component of this course was to provide students the opportunity to prepare for in-class lectures by watching online lectures in a self-paced format. Once a baseline level of knowledge was established, the students were prepared for advanced material that would be covered during the in-class lectures. To enhance the traditional classroom experience, we employed a radio frequency (RF) in-class response system (Higher Ed Generation 2, e-Instruction, Denton, TX). This system was used to track both student comprehension and attendance. At the beginning of each class meeting, students were asked to answer advanced application questions from the previous lecture (these questions were similar in structure to the exam questions). At the conclusion of each lecture, students were asked to answer basic knowledge questions that pertained to the lecture that they had just heard. Even though the students in the hybrid format did not complete clicker questions, which were on the examinations, the nature of the clicker questions may have biased them toward performing better on exams. In addition to use of the in-class response system, all lecture audio was uploaded to WebCT for download in either a .WMA or .MP3 format. Lecture audio was available to students who attended in-class meetings as an incentive to attend class. It is important to note that both course formats received the same information; however, the students in the hybrid format were provided the content in a technologically rich way. The course grade was determined using the same norm-referenced system described above in the traditional class format. Points were accumulated as follows: exam 1 (120 points), exam 2 (120 points), online quizzes (60 points), in-class responses (60 points), and attendance (50 points) for a total of 410 points.
Statistical analysis of course effectiveness.
The key outcome measures were the grade on exam 1, the grade on exam 2, and the final grade for each semester the course was taught. We chose not to use the grade for exam 3 because only the traditional format had three exam grades. Prior to formal statistical testing, data were checked for normality and constant error variance using residual-predicted and quantile-quantile plotting. Grade data were analyzed using a 2 (delivery format: traditional or hybrid) × 3 (semester: Fall, Spring, or Summer) ANOVA. Significance was set at P < 0.05. The location of significant effects was determined using multiple Student t-tests with a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. All data are reported as means ± SE.
Program Evaluation
Grades from a total of 658 students who took KIN 3306 (Physiology of Human Performance) between August 2004 and August 2007 were used in the present investigation. All of these semesters were taught by the same instructor (B. K. McFarlin). For the present investigation, there were 346 students who took the traditional course format and 312 students who took the hybrid course format. A breakdown by semester revealed that 402 students took the course in the Fall, 94 students in the Spring, and 162 students in the Summer. Basic descriptive statistics for each semester are presented in Table 1.
Exam grade comparisons.
A significant semester × format interaction was found for exam 1 grades (P < 0.01). Exam 1 grades for the hybrid formate were 10.5% (12.6 points) higher than for the traditional format. For exam 2 grades, significant main effects were found for semester (P < 0.01) and format (P < 0.01). Exam 2 grades for the hybrid format were 17.6% (21.2 points) higher than for the traditional format. Exam 2 grades in the Summer were significant greater than those in the Fall (−20.0) or Spring (−18.1). Summing the two exam grades together shows that, on average, students in the hybrid format earned exam grades that were 14.0% (33.8 points) higher than students that took the traditional format.
Final Grade (Point Total)
A significant semester × format interaction was found for final course grades (P = 0.01; Fig. 4). On average, students in the hybrid format of the course earned final grades that were 9.9% (40.7 points) higher than students in the traditional format (Fig. 3B). Neither Fall-hybrid nor Summer-hybrid was different than each other. The SD for the HYBD course was 38.8; thus, an increase in the final grade total of 40.7 points was equivalent to a one letter grade improvement.
To our knowledge, this is one of the first investigations to report the structure utilized to transition a large undergraduate exercise physiology course from a traditional format to a hybrid format. The results also demonstrate that the hybrid format was associated with a significant improvement in student grade performance. In this investigation, students who took the hybrid format earned final grades that were an average of 9.9% (40.7 points) higher than those in the traditional format. Taking this finding in combination with the average grade for exams 1 and 2 suggests that 83% of the improvement in final grades can be directly attributed to higher exam scores of students who took the hybrid format. Since the final letter grade was established using the class average and SD, the point total increase in the hybrid format was consistant with a full letter grade (i.e., an "A" instead of a "B").
It is reasonable to speculate that the instructional technology played a large role in the improvement of both exam grades and final grades. It has been previously demonstrated (1, 5) that courses that effectively use instructional technology improve student grades due to an interaction that is typically not possible in a large classroom setting. For instance, during the online component of our course, students were able to choose a content delivery method that matched their learning style. It is possible that they were able to better understand and comprehend the advanced material, due to an improved learning of the introductory material. Despite the apparent increase in learning that was observed, it is possible that the results may have been confounded by the longitudinal nature of this study or the presence of the Hawthorne effect.
In addition to statistically analyzing student grades, I also reviewed informal student feedback from course evaluations and found that students who took the hybrid format of the course preferred its self-paced nature and ability to review course content as often as they liked. This antidotal account appears to support the speculation regarding why the final grades improved. Beyond the improvement of student grades, hybrid courses may be useful to large college campuses because they help with space management issues (7, 9). For instance, in the present hybrid course, I only needed to have access to a classroom for 1.5 h/wk, which effectively meant that two courses could be taught in a classroom that would normally be dedicated to one traditional lecture course.
While the hybrid environment does appear to provide numerous benefits to the student learners and instructors, it is not without its own shortcomings. For instance, a major drawback of online instruction is an inability to confirm the identity of a student who is completing an assignment. Another drawback for the instructor is the amount of time that is required to author online course materials. I was willing to commit the time to this cause because I knew that it helped to advance the University of Houston mission of learning and leading; however, at other universities that lack instructional development support, this may be an issue. Despite the initial time requirement to create new online course material, over several semesters an instructor would be able to utilize the same content with slight modifications/updates; thus, this may actually represent a time savings. Another weakness of the present approach is that while the final point total was the same between the two course versions, the manner in which the points were allocated was different. Thus, it is possible that individual grades may have been higher because the points were easier to earn in the hybrid course. Based on the increase in exam 1 and 2 scores, only ∼17% of the improvement in the final point total was due to other points; thus, the majority of improvement in the final point total was due to exams. One of the main reasons that I selected to use WebCT to deliver the online component is that it is the standard at my university and at other universities across the nation. I also enjoyed using WebCT because you do not need to have extensive experience writing HTML code but can take advantage of HTML code using the built-in Java interface. Throughout the process of transitioning this course, I experienced a number of setbacks with the implementation of the technology; however, in the end, I expanded my own instructional capacities and provided a better learning experience to my students. As a result of my experiences and improvement in student grades, I now only offer KIN 3306 in a hybrid format.
In the present evaluation, it has been demonstrated that a hybrid formatted course significantly improved student grades. One key to the effective use of instruction technology is to always remain on the cutting edge. To address this, two areas of focus have been developed to be implemented in future semesters of this course. First, the current use of the SitePal interface will be expanded so that it is more than just an announcement tool. I am presently working with the SitePal support team to develop an online, interactive question assistant that students can query to get answers to basic course structure as well as content-related questions. It is envisioned that the development of this technology will allow the creation of "virtual teaching assistants" whose knowledge can be expanded as necessary in the future. Second, the use of podcasting will be expanded. Specifically, two new iTunes RSS streams will be developed. One stream will be devoted to the dissemination of course lecture audio (in addition to the WebCT download). The second stream will be used to relay weekly course announcements. It is anticipated that the addition of these technologies in addition to the current hybrid structure will further improve student learning and translate to an improvement in academic performance.
In today's learning environment, the effective use of instructional technology provides a means to provide students with immediate, on-demand access to course content. In large, traditional lecture courses, customization is not possible because of the time burden that it places on the instructor. Hybrid and online courses are useful because they eliminate this burden. The key to effective implementation and utilization of instructional technology is to keep the focus on student-related outcomes and learning. This was the objective of the present investigation and will continue to be a focus in the future.
This project was funded in part by a Faculty Development Initiative B grant awarded to Drs. McFarlin (primary investigator), Layne, Kurz, and Martinez by the University of Houston Office of Education Technology and University Outreach in 2006.
I thank my coinstructor (Dr. Daniel A. Martinez), who helped teach this course during the Fall 2006 semester. His effort afforded me the release time to develop the online content described above. I also thank the numerous students who have assisted my efforts during the semesters listed above, including Jennifer Davis, Alexander Hutchison, and Michael Kueht.

Wyre Forest District Council wants to hear your views on what the area should look like in the coming years as it begins a review of its Local Plan.
On Tuesday 14 July, the Council's Cabinet will consider a report on a consultation document that will be launched in the autumn this year. The document known as an 'Issues and Options' paper is the beginning of a process which the Council anticipates will see the adoption of a new Local Plan in 2017. The Council will be seeking views on some of the bigger issues of principle such as where new housing should be located in the future.
Cllr John Campion, Cabinet Member for Planning & Regeneration at Wyre Forest District Council said:
"Wyre Forest District Council has a proud history of creating certainty about where it wants to see development taking place through the successful adoption of its Local Plan. This is illustrated in the current investment in Kidderminster town centre and the re- development at Churchfields. The Local Plan underpins the robustness of our planning process when it comes to making decisions on planning applications. When the consultation is launched on 1 September, we will be urging residents of the district, land owners and businesses to help us with this process by sharing their thoughts and ideas."
The consultation will be for six weeks. During this time council officers will be available at a series of public exhibitions which will include Stourport Carnival, Bewdley Farmers' Market and Weavers Wharf Kidderminster. The Council will then analyse all of the responses received and report back to Cabinet in December. Further consultation will follow next year on more detailed proposals before eventually the Plan will be put before an Inspector from the Planning Inspectorate who will hold a public examination to test the Plan before allowing the Council to formally adopt it.
More information is available on the Wyre Forest District Council's website www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/localplanreview or by contacting the Planning Policy Team on 01562 732928

Retirement vs College Savings
Core Facts
Some people are faced with this very real decision - do you start saving for Little Johnny's college tuition, or do you focus on your own retirement first?
Before you know it, that sweet little baby of yours will be all grown up and graduating high school. Unless you plan ahead, it's all too likely that you will be part of the majority of American families who do not have a college savings plan in place. According to a Sallie Mae study, only 39% percent of families have a plan to pay for college tuition.
But something to keep in mind is that you can view your savings as an investment in your child's future. The New York Times released a study that showed Americans with four year college degrees earned 98% more per hour than workers without degrees.
On the other hand, more than half of Americans lose sleep thinking about retirement. This is mainly because they face the uncertainty of what lies in the unknown great beyond, across the River Retirement. Studies show that people who are confident about their retirement have a clear goal and vision for their future.
And the stats aren't very comforting in terms of retirement savings. 45% of Americans have saved nothing for retirement, including 40% of Baby Boomers.
One solution is to focus on preparing for what you child will be following as a career. For example, if they have expressed interest in becoming a teacher, a graphic designer, a music composer, or some other vocation that requires specific technical training, then sending them to Harvard is pointless.
Saving for retirement should generally take precedence over saving for college. Besides saving separately for college or setting up a family savings account for the tuition, there are always scholarships and student loans as an option. But you cannot take a retirement loan, last time we checked.

The springtime sky produces some of the best ones I get all year long. This one was shot a few days ago after a rainy afternoon. I used shutter priority, then post-processed with a curves adjustment and cropped for pano format. My apologies - I know it has been awhile since I posted anything. This winter has been pretty rough for me, especially the last couple of months. I developed a serious infection in my right foot, then contracted that horrible respiratory flu while at the urgent care facility waiting to have my foot looked at. By the next morning I was very, very sick, and it took about 10 days for me to get over the flu and get the infection under control. At the same time, the road I live on was in terrible shape (mud and 2' ruts in places), and was impassable in spots, which left me sick and trapped up on this hill - even my 4WD vehicle was bogging down in the mud. A few days later, I had another big snowstorm roll in, which dumped another 15" of snow. I was still sick, so my neighbor down the road came up with his farm tractor and dug me out (literally) - I had drifts 3' deep in the driveway. I'm finally on the mend, and the weather has improved enough that the road is solid again. Living in the country is beautiful, but very challenging at times! I want to thank all of you for visiting and commenting, and for your emails. I hope that all is well with each of you. Please be sure to take some time daily to enjoy all of the wonder that springtime brings to your world. -- Kim ]]> 2008-04-07T23:40:00Z 2008-04-07T23:40:00-05:00 February Finale tag:www.kpimages.net,2008-02-19:/263 February FinaleJust another country sunset, taken last evening. The day had been a mixed bag of weather as a cold front was passing through - one moment I had sunshine and white puffy clouds, then a snow squall would blow in and I'd have dark skies and almost white-out conditions. A few moments later, it would clear again. The cycle was timed perfectly - a squall had moved through just before the sun was going down, allowing me to capture this colorful end to the day. I want to thank everyone for visiting and for your wonderful comments. I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything - life got very busy for me the past few weeks, and I haven't had much time to spend with the camera. I think things are quieting down a bit so that I can get back to a more normal routine. Hope everyone has a great week! -- Kim ]]> 2008-02-19T08:00:00Z 2008-02-19T08:00:00-05:00 Lazy River Revisited tag:www.kpimages.net,2008-01-27:/262 Lazy River RevisitedThis was shot back in early December, a couple of days before my big surprise snowfall. I had just gotten a new Canon G9, and went out for a drive to take some shots with it. I ended up down at the river, about a mile south of me. It was late afternoon, and the sunlight was coming in across the river and really lighting up the trees on the other side. I was standing pretty close to the same spot where I shot the original "Lazy River" back in July 2005. Post-processing was done using the Midnight Sepia v2 action from Action Central - a lot of great stuff there and the price is right - free! Thanks to everyone for visiting and for your comments on the last image. I am still playing catch-up with everyone's blogs - hope to have some time this week to finally get caught up. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! -- Kim ]]> 2008-01-27T00:15:15Z 2008-01-27T00:15:15-05:00 No Fishing tag:www.kpimages.net,2008-01-11:/261 No FishingAt least not yesterday, there wasn't. While out driving the back roads, I passed by this private farm pond a few miles from my house. The owners keep it well-stocked with fish, and you can usually find them out there most summer evenings. Yesterday, however, it was a lonely place, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the bare trees and the distant call of a crow to break the silence of a winter day. Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments on the previous image. My apologies for the extended absence from posting - post-holiday activities and unkind weather conditions have kept me from getting out with the camera. I also hope to get back to my normal routine soon of visiting/commenting on all the wonderful images in your photoblogs. Have a great weekend everyone! -- Kim ]]> 2008-01-11T13:30:00Z 2008-01-11T13:30:00-05:00 Winter Morning tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-12-27:/260 Winter MorningOne more from my snowfall a few weeks ago. I took this while standing at just about the same place as I was when I shot "Autumn Evening" approximately 2 months ago. Thought I would show the same view with the change of season from fall to winter. Thank you everyone for all the comments on the previous image. My grandfather's images are something that I treasure - they are priceless to me. I'm glad that I was able to share that one, and some warm memories, with all of you for Christmas. -- Kim ]]> 2007-12-27T14:28:00Z 2007-12-27T14:28:00-05:00 Christmas Wonder tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-12-23:/259 Christmas WonderMy grandfather took this on Christmas Day almost 60 years ago, using a Ciroflex TLR camera. The man in the image is my father, and the young child looking on is my cousin Jerry. Christmas was always such a special time for my family, as we gathered together to enjoy good company and lots of good food! Most of my Christmas holidays as a child were spent in the house that I live in now, so I have those sweet memories to surround me every single day of the year. Thank you all for visiting and commenting. I wish each of you a safe, peaceful, and blessed holiday, filled with good food, good friends, and loving family. Merry Christmas everyone! --Kim ]]> 2007-12-23T00:40:00Z 2007-12-23T00:40:00-05:00 Snowy Barn tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-12-19:/258 Snowy BarnAnother shot from my snowfall a couple weeks ago. I walked out onto the hill to survey the landscape, particularly the view of the old barn and pond down the hill at my aunt's house. I had planned to hike down there to take some shots across the pond of the barn, try and capture the reflections of that scene in the water, but the cold temps had already formed a thin layer of ice on the pond - there were no reflections to be had that day unfortunately. I think it would have been beautiful! Thanks for the comments on my previous image. I hope all of you are ready for Christmas and enjoying the holiday season with family and friends! -- Kim ]]> 2007-12-19T23:55:00Z 2007-12-19T23:55:00-05:00 Snow Feathers tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-12-16:/257 Snow FeathersWhile out walking in the field the next morning, I came upon this small plant sticking up above the snow. The stem was covered in a feathery coat of snowflakes that were reflecting the morning sunlight. Thanks for visiting and for all the wonderful comments. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! -- Kim ]]> 2007-12-16T06:24:00Z 2007-12-16T06:24:00-05:00 The Morning After tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-12-11:/256 The Morning AfterMy sunrise, the morning after the big snow last week. The storm moved east overnight, clearing the skies, which allowed the sun to paint the snow with morning color and long shadows. I spent about an hour later that morning out walking with the camera - those images will be coming up in the days ahead. Thank you to all my regular visitors/commenters, and a warm welcome to the new ones. Hope all of you are having a good week! -- Kim ]]> 2007-12-11T12:15:00Z 2007-12-11T12:15:00-05:00 Let It Snow... tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-12-05:/255 Let It Snow...This was taken a few hours ago, shortly before sundown. My forecast last night said there would be no more than 1/2" of snow accumulation from this storm system - they were wrong! I awoke this morning to find almost 3" of snow had fallen overnight, and it was still coming down. By the time it quit late this afternoon, there was almost 7" of the white stuff on the ground, turning the landscape into a winter wonderland. I want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments on my previous image. I've been under the weather for the past several days, and haven't been able to visit everyone's photoblogs, a situation that I hope to remedy in the next several days. I know I've been missing out on a lot of beautiful images! -- Kim ]]> 2007-12-05T20:00:00Z 2007-12-05T20:00:00-05:00 Call Of The Wild tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-11-24:/254 Call Of The WildThis was taken last evening. I had initially gone out to shoot the sunset, but quickly found that the best show was going on behind me, to the east - the full moon was rising above the layer of clouds sitting just above the horizon. As I stood in my front yard, out at the road, I could hear the calls of a hoot owl, softened as it traveled through the trees. From my left came the sounds of my neighbor's cows, mooing and carrying on as they settled in for the night. Last, but not least, from my right came the yips and howls of the coyotes that live in the woods at the bottom of the hill behind my house. All the while, I watched as the sky changed from layers of purple and blue to the dark blue/black of nighttime, the only light coming from the full moon. Thank you to all of my visitors, both the regular ones and the new ones, for taking the time to visit and leave a comment. I've not had the free time this week to do my "blog walk", but I hope to catch up on all the new images over the next couple of days. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! -- Kim ]]> 2007-11-24T08:45:00Z 2007-11-24T08:45:00-05:00 Far And Wide tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-11-17:/253 Far And WideA change of scenery - this is the view from the far end of the hayfield looking northwest, taken the end of October. I'd just gotten a new wide-angle lens for my camera, and wanted to test it out. By this time, rain and wind had taken a lot of the leaves off the trees, but there were still small pockets of color left. I never get tired of this view! Thank you to everyone for your comments on the previous image. Hope all of you are having a great weekend! -- Kim ]]> 2007-11-17T23:06:00Z 2007-11-17T23:06:00-05:00 Patchwork Quilt tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-11-10:/252 Patchwork QuiltTaken the same day as "My Backyard, Revisited", this shot gives you a close-up look at my fall colors, and a more accurate idea of just how steep that slope really is! Thank you to all of my visitors and commentors. I hope each of you has a wonderful weekend! -- Kim ]]> 2007-11-10T12:00:00Z 2007-11-10T12:00:00-05:00 Autumn Evening Sky tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-11-07:/251 Autumn Evening SkyThis was taken a couple of weeks ago. It had been overcast most of the day, but the clouds began to break toward evening, just enough to provide me with a spectacular October sunset. Sunrises and sunsets are my favorite type of image to shoot. It is what got me out in the field with my first digital camera, happily snapping away, trying to capture nature's beautiful sky paintings, and has been the biggest factor in my choice of outdoor/nature photography as the path my photography style would take. Although I may have expanded my horizons to other areas of nature photography, a beautiful sunrise or sunset will always draw me out of the house, camera in hand, excited at the prospect of yet another unique painting in the sky. -- Kim ]]> 2007-11-07T07:42:00Z 2007-11-07T07:42:00-05:00 Woodland Mushroom tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-11-02:/250 Woodland MushroomWhile hiking in the woods the other day, I came across this colorful Omphalotus mushroom growing next to a dead tree limb, surrounded by a thick blanket of fallen leaves. I was unable to identify the exact species, but it comes closest to the Jack O'Lantern mushroom, which is poisonous. I would like to thank everyone for all the kind comments that are being posted. I hope that each of you has a wonderful weekend! -- Kim ]]> 2007-11-02T18:05:00Z 2007-11-02T18:05:00-05:00 October Surprise tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-10-31:/249 October SurpriseWhile taking a walk in the meadow on a sunny afternoon a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon this Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly, enjoying some of the last wildflowers of the season. I'd like to dedicate this post to one of my frequent visitors and fellow photographer, Lost Valley, who is taking a break from blogging for awhile. LV, I will truly miss your beautiful images and words. They have provided a daily smile and inspiration for me - thank you! Hope to see you again soon! --Kim ]]> 2007-10-31T15:37:45Z 2007-10-31T15:37:45-05:00 My Backyard, Revisited tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-10-25:/248 My Backyard, RevisitedAutumn's patchwork quilt has finally descended upon this area - the trees are in full fall color. This was taken yesterday morning. I tried to take this from just about the same vantage point as the previous one - I think I got pretty close! ]]> 2007-10-25T16:15:11Z 2007-10-25T16:15:11-05:00 Golden Grass tag:www.kpimages.net,2007-10-20:/247 Golden GrassThe early morning light, filtered by fog, illuminates this wild grass at the edge of the meadow.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments about the previous image. I've been keeping a close eye on the trees, and they've not yet turned color. When they do, I will take another shot of that same view and post it. -- Kim ]]> 2007-10-08T11:25:00Z 2007-10-08T11:25:00-05:00

Food historians tend to agree that this most famous of Argentinian sauces was probably invented by the cowboys or gauchos to give flavour to the meat they cooked over open fires out on the prairies. It is likely that they used dried herbs in their meat sauce as these were easier to transport and did not spoil like fresh herbs would. Historians speculate that the original sauce is likely to have been a bit more similar in taste to English mint sauce rather than the chimichurri we know today.
The origin of the name 'chimichurri' is a little less clear. One story says that the name comes from 'Jimmy's curry', Jimmy being an Irish or Englishman who is rumoured to have joined in the fight for Argentine Independence or, less romantically, to have been involved in the meat trade. His name was difficult for the Argentinians to pronounce, hence his sauce became known as chimichurri. Still other stories say the name of the sauce comes from the Basque settlers who arrived in Argentina in the 19th century, and is derived the word 'tximitxurri', loosely translated as "a mixture of several things in no particular order"
It's no surprise that Argentina's extremely rich and varied culinary history has evolved to incorporate Spanish, Italian, French and English as well as indigenous traditions. There are many many versions of the recipe for chimichurri sauce in Argentina, and they vary in colour and ingredients. Most but not all contain parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, vinegar and lime juice. The traditionalists still use dried herbs.
Here at Comedor we make our chimichurri using mostly fresh ingredients giving it an intense flavour and vibrant green colour. Although Argentinians tend to use chimichurri with meat either as a sauce or a marinade (and that's how we use it in the restaurant), it's actually very versatile. It goes with fish and vegetables very nicely too.

John's of 12th Street Trailer (2014)
"In a rapidly changing New York City, century-old restaurant John's of 12th Street still dishes up classic Italian-American food and attracts eccentric" 16 November 2014 Factual 64 mins
JOHN'S OF 12TH STREET is a portrait of a century-old Italian-American restaurant in New York City, one of the last of its kind in a rapidly changing East Village. This observational documentary loosely follows the rhythm of the restaurant's day, which swings between boredom and frenzy as the old rooms empty and fill. No one who works at John's is actually Italian, but some have been here for 40 years, including two pairs of brothers and a father and son. JOHN'S OF 12TH STREET catalogues the overlooked details of working life and a vanishing facet of New York City.

New Delhi, Jan. 4: More than 10 lakh mines twice the number used in the 1971 war and three times that of the 1965 war that were laid by the army along the International Border with Pakistan are now being cleared.
Even after Operation Parakram, the 10-month forward deployment of the armed forces, was called off, the official line from the government was that the troops were being redeployed. Not once did they say the military was being withdrawn and ordered back to the barracks.
Military strategists were looking for a firmer indication that New Delhi had given up for now the idea of a conventional conflict with Pakistan. That sign, they say, was whether the minefields along the border were being cleared.
In the first official confirmation that the front was being demined, an army spokesman today said mine clearing and recovery will take at least another three months.
Both India and Pakistan are not signatories to the Mine Ban Treaty. The military standoff that lasted through 2002 possibly saw the largest mine-laying operation in Asia since World War II.
The spokesman said till now, 28 per cent of the mines laid have been recovered. It will take the first quarter of this year before the army formally certifies that the areas along the border have been cleared of mines.
Army spokesman Brig. Shruti Kant said: Mines were laid at night during the mobilisation. All details of the minefields were filled out by respective units in a Mine Record Form according to national and international conventions.
Uncleared or shoddily cleared minefields are a potential hazard for civilians and soldiers. The mining of the border has already resulted in hundreds of casualties.
A report by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines claims that there were 332 mine casualties in 2001 and another 180 till July this year. The army, however, says that during Operation Parakram 81 people were killed and 242 injured in mine blasts and related accidents.
The spokesman said it was still possible that mines had shifted because of natural and geographical reasons.
Clearing minefields is a painstaking process. A typical mine-clearing operation involves prodding the ground at a 45 degree angle with an iron rod called a prodder. If the prodder strikes metal, the unit involved immediately takes cover. Then a soldier has to use bare hands to carefully sift through the ground and recover the mine.
The army also uses mine detectors an electronic device with a circular iron base at the end of a rod. This is little different from a metal detector. Its sensors give off a signal in the vicinity of metal. Some mines that have explosive encased in plastic are not detectable by these machines. The army has only a very limited number of the detectors.

DAILYKENN.com -- A black male is on trial for executing four white women during a home break-in. The accused's brother has already been tried and convicted in the case.
The mainstream national media routinely ignore black-on-white violence. It simply doesn't fit the cultural Marxist narrative that white people must always be the oppressors and blacks must be the oppressed when, in reality, the opposite is true.

Mango Home,
Mekong Delta
Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City and The South
Info : Mango Home
Hugging the banks of the riverside in the heart of the Mekong Delta is the Mango Home; a charming place to stay that combines the warmth and familiarity of a homestay with the standards and facilities of a small hotel.
However, the Mango Home is much more than simply a place to stay. The dwellings are merely the place you sleep at the end of a day of adventure and activity, all of which is included in the price.
Your experience begins with a tuk tuk ride through the small villages close to the main meeting point. Here you will be met by one of the excellent local guides and given information on the area and the stay you have ahead of you. Next the tuk tuk drops you at your private boat, which will be waiting for you with cool towels and fresh fruits. The boat journey to the Mango Home will stop at a few sites of interest along the river such a local tile factory and a coconut processing facility.
Mango Home offers accommodation in a number of simple but well-appointed rooms. All have fridges and seating areas as well as outdoor bathrooms with showers and bathtubs.
On site there are also excellent activities offered which include cycle rides, market visits, trips to visit village elders' houses and walks. Cooking lessons are also a must.
The food and service is excellent throughout and the local guides deserve special mention for really bringing the local area and culture to life.
The Mango Homestay offers a great way to experience the charms of the Mekong Delta through a carefully considered mix of activity and relaxation. Mango Home offers a great alternative to some of the more expensive cruises in the region, whilst still giving you plenty of time on the river itself. Recommended.
Eco/Adventure - This category covers gorgeous lodges in the jungle, comfortable safari camps and dreamy, but simple, beach cabanas. These places defy conventional categorisation: what is communing with nature to one person may be terrifying bugs to another! Many of these places are very comfortable and the service generally of a very high level - but please read the website review carefully and/or talk to us and be sure to have understood what you are letting yourselves in for!

His first book of stories appeared in 1921 and became extraordinarily popular. However, he came under political pressure in the 1930s because some of his works, such as Youth Restored (1933), were too slyly ambiguous to fit the socialist realist model. In 1946, together with Akhmatova, he was singled out for an extraordinary attack by culture "boss" Andrei Zhdanov and was expelled from the Union of Soviet Writers. From then on he mostly produced translations. Zoshchenko was an extremely effective satirist who took his subjects from the paradoxes and incongruities of post-Revolutionary Russian society. He showed that human nature, which the new government was trying to change, would assert itself nonetheless. His language is fascinating. He often chooses lower-class narrators who speak in a mixture of the colloquial and of the new Soviet rhetoric---with highly comic results. During the 1930s, Zoshchenko's fiction began to explore philosophical and theoretical problems. A well-known example is Before Sunrise, the first part of which was published in 1943. In it the author analyzes his own psyche, in the process touching on the then-forbidden theories of Freud. Publication of the complete text of this work did not occur until 1972.

While the primary uses for PDAs, smart phones, and cell phones is still messaging, Pandora's Box has been open; making it only a matter of time before all manner of corporate intelligence will have to be made available via wireless.
To head off the hodge-podge, ad-hoc manner in which many new technologies have grown up over the years leading directly to today's heroic efforts to untangle 30 years of organic growth companies need to put in place a mobile strategy that takes into account security, new uses, current uses and a vision for how far, how deep and how wide they are willing to open up their back-end systems.
It's all about control, asserts Jay Highley, president and CEO of Integrated Mobile, a Columbus, Ohio-based company that focuses on helping companies come up with an implement mobile strategies.
Highley's top three reasons for moving ahead now with a strategy as opposed to waiting for one to be forced upon you are cost, security and competitive advantage/productivity.
"This is the reason Integrated Mobile exists," said Highley. "I've looked the CIOs in the eye and the finance people in the eye and they just throw their hands up and say, 'I don't know how many devices I have, I don't know how much it costs me, I know it's growing but where are the tools?'"
But tools are only one part of any strategy. The first step is deciding who is entitled to what level of access and who really needs a company-paid-for mobile device in the first place. That's the approach of Sue Evert, a telecom analyst for FiServ, a Fortune 500 provider of information management systems and services to the financial and health benefits industries.
She is also responsible for managing the mobility of about 350 of FiServ's employees. Evert makes her decisions on a case-by-case basis; looking at individual employees communication needs. Salespeople get the best of the best and, on the other end, an on-call sys admin might have a just a pager.
"We're controlling the fact that we're paying for them, then they take what we give them," she said. "You can't let people dictate to you, 'Well I want this, I want that.'"

Born and Bred Reviews
July 15, 2007
Just as the constantly falling snow leaches the colour from the backdrop, so the emotion bleeds out of the film.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
August 30, 2007
We search for something redeeming, which we finally receive but far too late.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
September 23, 2006
An Argentine film packed full of pain and suffering that nevertheless fails utterly to connect with its audience.
July 6, 2010
Not everyone will find Trapero's uncompromising storytelling and quiet camerawork to their liking, but once more with Born and Bred he demonstrates a masterful ability to unite the physical and the metaphorical, the social and the sensual.
August 24, 2007
Scenery apart, the film is penitence at 24 frames per second.
August 24, 2007
Argentinian director Pablo Trapero's Born and Bred is a quiet but resonant mood piece.
August 24, 2007
The landscape speaks louder than words in this atmospheric journey through emotional extremes.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
August 24, 2007
Like the brutal climate it portrays, the film isn't easy to love, and Pfening makes a less sympathetic soul in torment than Trapero perhaps intends.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Top Critic
October 28, 2006
An existential nightmare of grief, guilt and penance, with Guillermo Nieto's sublime photography of the frozen, otherworldly landscape a correlative to Santiago's suspended state.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/6
Top Critic
September 13, 2006
An emotionally stunning journey of a father's return to his senses after a horrible accident.
August 24, 2007
A searing, wonderfully shot, and artfully understated examination of guilt and grief.
August 24, 2007
Impressively acted and compassionately observed, it hovers intriguingly between reality and dream-state.
August 24, 2007
Director Pablo Trapero seals his enviable reputation with this exceptional study of isolation and grief.
August 24, 2007
Trapero creates a cinematic eco-system that moment by moment, scene by subtle scene, completely enfolds you.
August 24, 2007
The film is so beautifully shot and controlled that Patagonia becomes as much a character in the film as the middle-class Santiago and his working-class friends.
