"BY CHANGING THE WAY IN WHICH ONE PERSON THINKS, THEY SHALL ALSO CHANGE WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN BECOME" Rosy G
Posted Jun 24 2010 9:12am
As we all are well aware, being overweight "robs you" of what you can truely have and achieve in life. It takes away that RIGHT to do, and be anything you want because you cannot go above and beyond when it controls you in the many ways it does, and therefore in the end holds you back. Its the FAT that we carry that will make decisions for us on what we can/cannot do and what we will/will not do. I know this because I have experienced both sides of the story now.
I have lived with being considered obese for most of my life, and I also know the difference when not, like when I lived the short time of being in top shape and could wear a size 7. I know there are many people out there, people who are in shape trying to get others to better themselves, but, can they truthfully say they lived the life. Majority... probably not. It is one thing for them to
what its like, and its another one to have actually gone through it and live it day after day.
For me when being overweight/obese it affects me in so many ways. Too many to list actually! A few off the top of my head are things like...
-Instead of having the self confidence to go after
job or ANYTHING you really want in life (or DO what you really want to do), being overweight/obese brings you down a level no matter what anyone says! Even if you are trying to mask it, its there! From the time you wake up in the morning until the time you go to bed, this demon that we bring along with us throughout the day affects us on many levels MORE then we might even THINK! We are just so used to dealing with all the negative thoughts and actions that come along with being physically and emotionally FAT , that as time goes on we wont even notice how it truely holds us back in life anymore because its then become the norm. We just sadly accept it as a fact of our personal lives. (but what is sad is that we choose it. We choose to allow it to win us over. we choose to not do anything about it. We choose to just give up) Its different if its something we have no control over, but if we really WANT, we have every bit of control over this!
The circumstances that we encounter throughout the day, you would be surprised at how they all add up and how they bring us down without even realizing sometimes! They continue to chip away at us, and slowly taking away any HOPE of fighting back to even BE the better person we WANT to BE! Leaving us feeling stuck, sad, feeling defeated and also feeling weak like we just are not strong enough to change. But wait...we ARE strong enough. Its about reversing what we once thought, changing our thoughts on life, and food.
But I know its hard when the negative thinking and thoughts are there from the very moment we wake up each morning until we go to bed at night. (that is the underlying source the really bringing us down which holds us back in succeeding)
Rosy G
Like in the morning you find yourself looking in the mirror at your reflection, wishing you could fit into a smaller size or that your face wasnt so fat. You are looking in the mirror naked, and HATE your legs, stomach or whatever problem areas you have knowing you have to change but where to start? You might even deal with these other negative thoughts like when you cannot fit properly in a chair (reminding you of exactly where you are as far as being overweight), or you just find you have gained and so you notice you cannot sit as comfortable as you used to. Or you notice you cannot cross your legs as nicely or as easily like you once could. You are almost FORCING it to cross, and yet it just doesnt sit right, not looking at all natural and so you just drop it. LOL. Isnt this so true though for alot of women?
There is just something so feminine to be able to do that!
So for me I cannot help but observe at times and compare things like this (of course in a secretly and discreet way)
This is how it goes... I will look at myself and my size of legs (huge) always hated my legs and then right after while hoping to not get noticed then glance over at the other women who CAN do it in the room. This isnt good. LOL What a disgrace(seeing myself shaking my head in my imagination)..LOL
gawd arent we sneaky us women though eh ?
You carry even MORE negative thoughts when perhaps you are out shopping for clothes and you cannot find the size you need or not having a variety of nice clothes, so you leave the store feeling sad, depressed, angry at yourself and the world. Perhaps YOU carry it when you are wearing shorts in the hot summer while most of the time feeling parinoid the whole time that people are looking at your fat legs and saying things. Either that or you decide NOT to wear them like I did for years..and just was miserably hot and sticky and felt like crap too..Either way its terrible. Nothing positive about that.
(these are just some of my own examples) I am sure you can come up with many more personal ones you can think of that you go through that I may not have mentioned.
So therefore if your dealing with situations like that on a daily basis, I dont care how GOOD you might want to THINK you are, how can you truthfully say that you can confidently go after anything in life and get anything the way you would if you actually were on top of the world and healthy without carrying those negative extra thoughts around all the time? Really? I mean we have enough to deal with in life, things that perhaps we CANNOT change, so why do we allow ourselves to continue to suffer like this. Its a choice. We choose to suffer. No one is making us. We have the option of changing. Free will people! So why do we find ourselves backtracking? Why do we get lazy after a while? Do we just forget what it feels like to be on top of the world? I think once we get that mental side understood, and why we do the things we do, pin point what makes us weak which in turn makes us revert to our old negative ways, we might actually figure that out! Each person is different.
Its not to say that there are no confident fat people out there. I am sure there are some. But for those people, imagine if you felt better about yourself physically because you have it in you to take control and what you would be able to really achieve! Probably some really unimaginable things!
When you are at your best, you will physically, mentally/emotionally feel BETTER all around! Thats the bottom line! And so those positive energies and feelings you feel towards yourself are then given off to the people around you! There is not that negative thinking about oneself there anymore, that you might have carried before... BELIEVE ME..... it shows! So when you are past that, the skies the limit really!
Like I will give you a few examples from my own life when at my best/ comparing it to when I am not.
When I got backstage for my favorite group "hedley"
I know I have told you all this story before but its a prime example! I would have NEVER been able to do what I did, and get what I wanted if I wasnt where I was at that moment in time. BELIEVE ME!
This only happened because I was so confident in myself and happy. Nothing could stop me. Its this feeling I cannot even really explain unless you have felt it.
And being at the time I always wanted the change to go backstage because they were my favorite group that i listened to over and over again...well I just wasnt leaving until I got the chance! I would not accept anything less!
And guess what...somehow I ended up there! There is NO WAY I would have been able to get into the lead singers FACE and pretty much DEMAND what I wanted. LOL (when I look back I laugh cause it
a little scary) but ....bottom line..I GOT IT! You see friends what I mean. They felt this confidence I carried too (either that or scared shitless) lol (but i am sure if that was the case security would have showed me out)
But, do you think I would have been able to do that as a fat women? NO WAY! I would stay in the back, right where I am comfortable and just be happy with having a book signed while the other more confident girls got backstage. Not this time around! LOL
And another time when I was at my best, I have never in my life
danced on a speaker/or high box at club before
. In all my years of partying, I always was just too self-concious so I would just play it safe, dance on the bottom ground floor, probably closest to the wall away from the center of the dance floor or more center rather then outside where the people couldnt see me as much. Even though I did this, I always wondered to myself while watching the hot women on top...what it would be like to be on TOP! To carry that confidence and to not
carry that worry of what people think, or what they would be saying about me when up there. To be completely worry free, and not even care and just genuinely have a great time less these negative thoughts!
But that one night, when I was out and feeling great...for the first time EVER I got up there..and boy did I dance! I was shakin my thing..I felt great..a drink in my hand....felt free just like a bird, experiencing something that I always wanted to experience...and felt like for the first time people were NOT looking at me cause I was fat..they were looking at me cause I was the one that was good looking! Because "I" was pretty! I was the one in great shape and had amazing arms and I was proud anyways no matter WHAT people thought...so there was nothing holding me back to stay on the floor anymore. You see.
For the first time I felt free!! WE carry those kind of negative thoughts around with us so much that I finally had the chance to feel what most of those other confident women feel. I was one of them even for just that one night! And it was AMAZING friends. So worth the dieting, eating better and workouts, SO WORTH IT. To feel that was like to feel ALIVE for the very first time!
You will likely feel many more aches/pains when overweight and obese then others normally would (especially feet and knees)
(keep in mind also that the older you get the more it will physically effect you)
Imagine if its tough on you now, how will it be when you are 60-70? Still carrying around this extra weight. I cant even imagine. My feet hurt now when I go past a certain point, wheelchair bound, cause of not taking personal responsibility for my own health and wellbeing..no thanks. I would rather FIGHT to get there.
Its not anymore about looking "best" per say..or getting to an ideal weight for the wrong reasons. For me, I am 4 years and a few months away from turning 40! This scares me. To have myself being weighed down by weight issues(that I have the power to change)..I would rather not.
So this is why I am going to/have to get back! Not for others, not for me..but for myself and my own sanity.
can hurt you much more then physical
In my experience each time we say we are going to do something, and dont....it affects somehow. Whether on the outside or inside. Each minute that goes by that we dont do anything about it and instead find us just accepting where we are at, its one more day/minute further from your goal that you know you really WANT. And this acceptance only encourages us to stay weak. This takes a toll as well on what we believe we can do. It spirals into many other areas in our life. If we are positive...it will do the same but in a much more beneficial way, ways that we cannot even imagine!
But other then the actual "weight" that we put on and carry from the lack of taking control, its the "beating up" of yourself that really hurts you in the end.
It takes you to a mental place that you start looking down on yourself, questioning yourself and its just not a great place to be. So being overweight and obese is NOT just a physical problem. And somehow we have to work on BOTH aspects before coming out a winner. I have yet to learn the other emotional and mental side of it. Slowly I am though.
...One other thing, last but not least the end result when not taking control
holds you back from going for what you WANT, or being what you want to be. So instead your just left with settling.
So these are just a few reasons and facts why I want to get back. I have let myself go long enough. If this has made you think about getting back as well, why dont you join me in this fight. WE can take on this challenge together.
There is always that idea I mentioned before in a previous post about you all even paying a one time fee for weight watchers points book etc..and then we can together meet and encourage each other as friends in a more personal atmosphere (for fre) to finally once and for all get to our goal we want to get to and be the women we were meant to be.
It really is the easiest way to diet if you are looking at something easy to understand for our busy lifestyles
Just something to consider. WE can even put a certain agreeable amount of money in the pot each time we meet that we can contribute and use as rewards for all of us!
If there is anyone out there that might be interested to join me on this challenge. Even if its just to watch what they eat rather then going full force with the gym etc...please feel free to email me in confidence where we can actually plan something.
Thanks for reading! I will be on soon again, and will be hopefully getting my mic and camera as well. I have a job to somehow get done..and some way I have to do it for myself, and if I dont, I will die trying:)
Either way this train is going full speed ahead!
JULY 1st PEOPLE!!
Transformation series #2 is on its way. Hopefully the last one. I guess you can say that I am a sucker for punishment! God help me.

The start of a new school year is an exciting (and sometimes terrifying) time for kids, but for parents it means shopping, organizing and all the stress you can shake a stick at. This year, according to the National Retail federation's 2012 Back-To-School spending survey, the average person with children in grades K through 12 will spend $688.62 getting them ready for school; this figure is up almost exactly $85 from last year's average of $603.63. The same survey estimates the total spending for Back-to-school shopping is expected to reach an amazing $30.3 billion. The reason that this number is so large is that the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau showed there were 77 million children and adults enrolled in school–from nursery school all the way up through college–that's nearly 25% of the country's entire population.

America Before Columbus DVD
(Based on 6 reviews)
Category: DVDs/Culture, History and Religion/Ancient Civilizations
History books traditionally depict the pre-Columbus Americas as a pristine wilderness where small native villages lived in harmony with nature. But scientific evidence tells us that America wasn't exactly a "New World," but a very old one whose inhabitants had built a vast infrastructure of cities, orchards, canals, and causeways. But after Columbus set foot in the Americas, an endless wave of explorers, conquistadors and settlers arrived, and with each of their ships came a Noah's Ark of plants, animalsand disease. In the first 100 years of contact, entire civilizations were wiped out and the landscape was changed forever.

Memorial Day weekend turned out to be what we had hoped for – warm and sunny, with no rain to speak of except for during the night. Local parades and barbecues went off well, trout fishers were able to get out on the reservoir as well as on their favorite rivers and streams without having to scurry for cover.
Dave Budin of Del Sports, Inc. in Margaretville reported that the East Branch Delaware River above the reservoir is up, high and clear. The river has been well stocked and with so much water, the trout will have good food and growth this summer.
The rain seems unending – day after day – the ground is so soggy it's almost impossible to mow the grass. The rivers are still high and full even after the trees have leafed out (which usually results in a drawdown of the water levels) but the good news is – the trout in our rivers and streams are doing very well with all the extra water and resulting food being washed in, and are having a great growth spurt.
There's no dispute that the spring of 2011 has been cool and wet with rain or showers almost every day. Water temperatures have remained cool as well, and mayfly activity has been behind schedule and fairly slow when hatches do occur. Although these conditions aren't the best for trout fishers, the trout themselves will benefit and we should see good trout growth this year as a result.
Mother's Day weekend turned out to be the best fishing weekend yet, and trout fishers rejoiced at a couple of days without rain, mostly sunny skies and air temperatures in the 60s. There were lots of fishermen around, because of the good weather and also due to the fact that the reservoir, which had been spilling until Saturday (and was three feet higher than normal) has now dropped about two feet – making the East Branch of the Delaware wadeable again.
Al Carpenter of Al's Sports Store in Downsville reported that fishing in Pepacton Reservoir has still been slow and that the trout are 'scattered all over' as can be attested to by the father and son team of Tim McAleese Sr. and Jr. They took two brown trout, one weighed six-and-one-half pounds, the other a four-pounder. One was caught on the surface, the other at 40 feet. Two Binghamton fishermen, Dick and Dave Langstaff also caught a couple of trout while fishing from shore. Both parties used sawbellies to catch their fish.
The ice is finally off the Pepacton and boats are now allowed on the reservoir as of last Tuesday. Fishing is slow, as it's been cold and rainy. However, a few good catches this past week are worth mentioning, courtesy of Al Carpenter, of Al's Sports Store, Downsville.
The trout season got off to a frosty start Friday. A combination of cold temperatures and rain mixed with snow, which really isn't that unusual for April 1, made for tough fishing conditions. Surprisingly, after the winter that seems to never end, and snowpack still evident on the north slopes of the mountains, river levels are fairly low for this time of year (probably due to the cold temperatures that are still hanging on) and provided easier wading conditions than on opening days in years past.
Opening Day Outlook
It's mid-January, a time when many folks are stoking up their wood stoves, and counting down the days until spring. But for others, it's a time that is much-anticipated, no matter what the weather – it's time for ice fishing!
'Tis the Season!
Last Sunday morning as I was putting out hay for the horses, I heard a far-off sound that gave me pause – a haunting sound that slowly increased in magnitude and caused my pulse to quicken as well. It stopped me in my tracks and carried me back, momentarily, to the days of my childhood as

We haven't been bashful about our appreciation for big old station wagons. There is just something cool about a big family hauler with an even bigger V8. This 1968 Biscayne Wagon, which can be found here on eBay, spent most of its life as a member of the Stockton Illinois Fire Department. The 307 cui V8 wasn't the biggest engine ever offered in these wagons, but it currently runs and drives. The next owner always has the option to install a big block under that massive hood. The seller claims they have just recently put 100 miles on it without any problems, so it could make for a good driver. I am a little concerned about the rust, but there is a lot of steel here so for the time being it shouldn't be much of an issue. The seller has most of the car's original documentation, making it a bit more interesting. I'm just not sure about their $6,300 asking price. What do you think? Is this running but rusty wagon worth $6k?
1968 Chevrolet Biscayne: Fire Wagon
1963 Ford Falcon Sprint: Ready To Soar
Before the Mustang came out, the Falcon was the lightweight Ford to have. Initially it was only offered with an inline six, but halfway through 1963 they introduced a new trim level, the Sprint. With the new option came a V8, bucket seats, and all the necessary upgrades to handle the extra power of the V8. Falcon Sprints are quite rare and finding one in nice original condition is unheard of these days. This example is claimed to be entirely original with essentially one owner (what ever that means) and has been gone through to make it roadworthy. It looks to be in great shape, but could use some detailing under the hood and in the interior. If you have always wanted to recreate the thrilling '63 and '64 Monte Carlo Rally with your own Falcon Sprint, this one can be found here on eBay in Red Hook, New York
1968 Camaro: Period Mods And Rust
I grew up in the Fast and the Furious era, when it was cool to modify your hand-me-down Honda. I was never much for the tuner scene, but I've always found it interesting that so many of my peers at the time thought they were doing something new and unique. Oh sure computers changed the ways you could modify a car, but the basic idea of installing upgrades to increase performance wasn't as new as they seemed to think it was. This '68 Camaro is the perfect example of how long tuning has been around. Someone took a basic six cylinder Camaro and installed both performance and visual modifications to make it their own. After years of years of being exposed to the elements it now is seriously rusty, but with bidding currently at just $1,500 it might be worth picking up, even if it's just for parts. It has some very interesting period upgrades that could be worth saving. Find it here on eBay in Maple Shade, New Jersey with no reserve.
1970 Dodge Dart: Original Swinger
When I see cars like this Dart Swinger, I often wonder how cars like this have survived so well. This car, which Alan F came across here on craigslist, is still like new. It wasn't a highly desirable car when brand new and I highly doubt anyone thought someday it would be a collectors item. The seller claims the original owner was a schoolteacher and only drove it occasionally. Upon her death about 10 years ago his father bought it from the estate. Based on the condition I would guess she stopped driving it many years ago. While it isn't a highly sought after car I'm actually glad that less desirable, yet interesting cars like this have survived. This one reminds me a lot of our Duster, but since they are both based on the A-body platform it makes sense that it would! So would you give this Swinger a new home?
Nice Original: 1936 Cord 810
It's rare that you find a car this old (79 years old this year!) that's essentially in nice "used car" condition. This example of a truly iconic design can be found in Lake Forest, Illinois and is for sale here on eBay with an opening bid of $35,000 and no reserve. The seller describes it as "the consummate barn find" and its condition is exceptional, but not pristine. Everything works, the paint is presentable although having minor cracking, and less than 44,000 miles have rolled under its wheels. The engine currently will kick over on starting fluid but the fuel tank hasn't been cleaned yet, so the owner hasn't run it much. Personally, I'd love to know if it would run off a bottle! What about you? This is a bonafide classic!
1912 Little Roadster: Antique Speed
I'll admit it, I've fallen in love with our Singer SM roadster. We've had faster, more comfortable, and safer cars, but put the windshield down and suddenly 30 mile per hour feels incredibly fast. I think I've been bit by the roadster bug and for some reason I want to experience older roadsters to see if they provide that same false sense of speed and the rush that accompanies it. This 1912 Little Roadster is 103 years old, making our Singer seem like a very modern car, which leaves me wondering if it would provide a rush or if it is simply too old to be thrilling. It hasn't been on the road for many years, so I'm sure it is going to need a lot of work before it will be providing any thrills but is surprisingly solid and complete for its age. Find it here on craigslist in Savannah, Georgia for $9,500. Thanks to Robert R for another great tip!
Studie With A Skylight: 1962 Lark Skytop
Despite having been stored for a while, this Lark is in better shape than most barn finds. It's currently located in a garage in Mishawaka, Indiana and is listed here on eBay with a buy-it-now of $5,600 and bidding below that. I kept trying to find major faults with the car and was completely unsuccessful. The Skytop option was quite rare (although no one seems to know exactly how rare). The car runs well, stops, and is a solid car sporting original paint on most surfaces. The gray paint on the hood and fender tops is primer, and my hope would be that a sympathetic partial respray would blend the new paint nicely with the original. Chrome and stainless are said to be good and look the part. Even the interior doesn't seem to be too bad. This really seems like a lot of car for the money to me, regardless of any value guide amount. What do you think?
Apple Green Pony: 1967 Ford Mustang
It's well known that Jesse and Josh like their Mustangs! I grew up with them as well, and we had two '67 coupes while I was growing up. This one is located in Mount Airy, Georgia and is being auctioned here on eBay with a buy-it-now of $5,000 and the seller inviting offers. With a fairly solid body and a lot of originality (the seller bought it from the original owner's family), this one needs front floors and a few localized repairs, but nothing terrible. Unfortunately, the 289 is locked up and it's only a 3-speed manual. Parts obviously aren't an issue, though, and it wouldn't take that much to go with a completely new drivetrain. But that would lose the originality. Would you finish this one, and if so, how would you do it?
1970 Lotus Europa: Barn Racer
The Lotus Europa may not be the most handsome car, but when it's sitting on a set of Minilites at the track, all awkwardness is forgotten. This one is going to need some work before that's happening though. A previous owner flared the fenders and from the looks of it, was preparing things for paint. The mismatched panels and a crusty interior may not get everyone's blood going, but I believe this barn found racer has potential. The only problem is that the seller seems to have gotten excited about their new discovery (can't blame them there!) and priced it a tad high. Find it here on craigslist out of Haddon Heights, New Jersey for $5,900. Also be sure to checkout the photos on the seller's site. Looks like there were a few other treasures where this one was found. Thanks goes to Clayton H. for the tip!
1967 Porsche 912: Barn Find, Per Se?
We all whine about the escalating Porsche prices, but honestly who among us wouldn't love to drag one home? Perhaps you want one to restore and drive? Or maybe just for a quick flip? It seems that most people have been opting for the later though because there sure are a lot of rusty 912s hitting the market. The 912 may have been unloved for a while there, but that appears to all be changing now. People are starting to appreciate it for the balanced sports car it is and this 1967 Porsche 912 should prove that point. Bidding is very healthy here on eBay for a project that most Porchephiles would have turned their nose up at a decade ago. It should be interesting to see what it ultimately sells for. Read more »

Broken Bones Prayers
Hi All,
I was having a wonderful time with my grandbaby when the phone rang Saturday night SIL was in 4 wheeler accident and has broken leg (Skin bones) both the Tibia and Fibula. Daughter was sent to wrong hospital and locked keys in the car. After all is said and done I get home 4:30 am. He's 26 and summer is a good time for him job wise. He's an electrician. I just look it up I figured it would be off for 6 weeks then I read it could be 10- 16 weeks. Thats 4 months. I will call the doc this morning to see if we get the cast today or tomorrow pending the swelling. It was pretty bad early Sunday morning. And all they could do was splint it. How do they pay their bills? I am not sure if he has disabilty daughter makes half what he does. Thank God he has excellant insurance and will not have any bills from this. Please prayer for us. Just worried how they will handle this.
Nanci, So sorry this has happened. Your family will be in my prayers.
A year ago last January when my 25 yo grandson and his wife was in an auto accident....their vehicle flipped end over end in an ice storm and ended up upside down in a ditch. As he was crawling out of the window, he told his wife that this is just an opportunity for God to have something better come into their lives. His MIL had just totaled their other car the previous week, and other things had happened in their lives so his wife was skeptical, but now she's a believer as everything worked out over and above what she had imagined. I was pretty proud of him for having that kind of faith in the face of adversity.
Sooooo, have faith........

At the national level, contact the offices of your Senator and Representative. They won't know how we feel about the issues unless they hear from us. Give them a better understanding of exactly how their decisions will impact you, your community and school.
Believe me, I understand issue fatigue! Keeping up with meetings at the local level and the decisions that have to be made for next year on top of everything else is a huge challenge for all of us. But it is what we were elected to do, and if we let our attention turn away from protecting and defending public education, public education will be torn apart in this tug of war. I really do believe we are at a critical point in the history of public education in Kansas.
We cannot look away.
KASB members will remember that changing the Professional Negotiations Act has been the focus on many discussions throughout the years. More than a year ago, representatives from KNEA, KASB, USA and KSSA begin meeting in response to questions about narrowing the list of mandatorily negotiable items in the Professional Negotiations Act. The meetings included the presidents and directors/executive directors of the four organizations.
The group met several times, sometimes using an outside facilitator, and finalized an agreement January 21, 2015 that includes several proposed changes to the Kansas Professional Negotiations Act. The agreement responds to concerns that the list of mandatory negotiable items is excessive and maintains a commitment to the principle of negotiating salaries and other issues.
You can see the full agreement HERE
The agreement also calls for mandatory training for local negotiating teams, with the content and format determined by the local negotiating team. The group believes this will improve the negotiations process by having all parties knowledgeable about the procedures required under state law and best practices for reaching a successful outcome.
The agreement recommends pushing back the statutory annual dates to exchange a list of items for negotiations and for declaring an impasse in negotiations. The notification date would be changed from February 1 to March 31, and the impasse date changed from June 1 to July 31. The new dates better reflects when districts have information on funding from the state and could also reduce the time involved in the negotiations process.
The agreement also calls for KNEA and KASB attorneys to jointly draft model language addressing two major concerns-attire/dress code and discipline procedures. We chose to do this rather than removing these issues from the list of mandatory negotiable items.
We believe a more focused list of items, improved training and more realistic notice and impasse dates will help improve the efficiency of the negotiations process and allow increased focus on the shared goal of student success.
It is important to note that this agreement does not propose any changes in the statutes of current contract language, or the process of making changes under current law. The agreement also provides local school districts a great deal of flexibility in how local negotiations are handled.
We reached this agreement through consensus and a collaborative give and take strategy. It is our hope that the legislature will approve the resulting proposal.
As children return to school after the Christmas break, they probably don't realize the fate of their public school education career will be based on decisions by the Legislature, Gov. Sam Brownback and members of the judiciary.
The recent school finance decision by a three-judge panel in Shawnee County will no doubt increase debate over money, taxes and formulas. The underlying focus, however, of the decision should be on our Kansas students and the long term future of our state.
The court again found Kansas is failing to provide constitutionally suitable school funding. That is not because schools are failing. Based on national test scores, high school completion, preparation for college and adult education attainment, Kansas ranks among the top states in the nation - number 10 as measured across 18 different indicators. At the same time, Kansas ranks near the average in spending per pupil and in student poverty, a critical factor in student success, indicating school districts are efficiently delivering high results for a reasonable cost. By every historical measure, Kansas educational outcomes are high.
Why, then, did the court rule Kansas schools are underfunded?
First, the court noted that after several years of improvement on state reading and math tests, scores began to drop as the impact of funding cuts were felt. Likewise, Kansas scores on national tests have leveled off. Other factors, like graduation rates and college readiness and completion, are "lagging indicators" that may decline as students move through an under-funded system. This year, Kansas students will take new, tougher tests designed to measure higher skills, setting a new baseline.
Second, like all states, there are significant performance gaps among Kansas students. Low income students, who are also disproportionately represented among minority groups, lag behind their more advantaged peers on tests of basic skills, graduation and college preparation. This alone is evidence the state is not providing "suitable" funding for all students. This also represents a growing problem for the future of the state, since the number of low income students has increased significantly, whether measured by participation in free meals or by childhood poverty rates.
Third, demands for educational attainment are growing as fast - or faster - than actual achievement. By the end of this decade, nearly 70 percent of Kansas jobs are expected to require some type of postsecondary education. Currently, only 58.1 percent of Kansans ages 18-24 have some postsecondary education.
Getting more students prepared for success after high school is critical and costs more than simply attaining high school diploma. Jobs requiring higher skills and educational levels pay significantly more and pave the way for economic prosperity and personal advancement.
Kansas has recognized this fact by adopting the seven Rose factors, which include providing each and every child certain skills to advance in either academic or vocational fields.
States with the highest educational attainment spend more per pupil than low achieving states. Because their educational levels are higher, their income levels are higher and they have fewer students in poverty, which makes it easier to continue raising achievement. These states are preparing for long-term economic growth and security, just like individuals and families who make it a priority to save and invest for the long term as their incomes grow.
Unfortunately, Kansas has been doing the opposite. As the total income of Kansans has grown since the Great Recession, the state has been investing less of that income for public education. Total Kansas personal income is projected to have increased by over 25 percent since 2010, while total school funding has increased just 10 percent in the same period, and much of the funding increase has come from local districts where voters have approved building projects to improve their schools.
Total K-12 school funding is projected to be just 4.42 percent of total personal income in 2015 - the lowest level since 1985. In fact, the state could increase educational funding by $550 million and still be spending a lower share of income than the ten-year average between 2001 and 2010. That is the approximate cost of providing additional base-level funding at what the court suggested was "the bottom level of reasonableness."
The court did not order the Governor and Legislature spend a particular amount of money. It simply found the current level of funding cannot achieve the Rose standards adopted by the Kansas Supreme Court and by the Legislature as educational goals for all students. It is up to the Governor and Legislature to respond.
The people of Kansas approved an education article of the state constitution that says the public school system exists for "intellectual, educational, scientific and vocational improvement." The status quo is never good enough. The court found overwhelming evidence money matters to educational quality, and noted funding for current educational programs (as opposed to buildings and pensions) had fallen far below previous levels found to be constitutional.
The ruling should be seen as an opportunity by the Legislature and governor to invest in higher levels of achievement and success for Kansas students, a state economy based on high skills and wages, and stronger families and communities.
"It is truly an honor to begin my term as president of KASB. I believe KASB is in a position to take the lead on a number of critical issues facing our state, and I ask my fellow board members to remain informed and involved," he said.
KASB provides service and support to governing boards for unified school districts, community colleges, area vocational-technical schools and cooperatives, interlocals and regional service centers. The association serves a diverse membership base of close to 5,000 board members and educational leaders.
"KASB members have unique challenges and opportunities, but we are united in a common cause," Stewart said. "We all want our students to be prepared for success, to accomplish their dreams and to become responsible citizens."
Stewart has held numerous leadership positions at the local level. He served on the USD 222 board of education, president of the consolidation transition board, and is now in his second term on the Washington County USD 108 board, serving terms as president and vice president. He has been involved in the district's negotiation committee, the superintendent selection committee, the curriculum committee and a several facilities planning and construction committees.
In addition to local leadership, Stewart served two terms on the KASB board of directors as regional vice-president. His involvement with KASB has included numerous committees for the association, including the convention credentials committee and the executive director interview committee. Stewart has been an active participant in both the KASB Governmental Relations and the Federal Relations networks.
Stewart holds a bachelor of science in agriculture education and a master of science in adult and occupational education, both from Kansas State University. He is a member of the Washington County Schools Booster Club and the school's agriculture science department's advisory committee. He is a member of the National Corn Growers Association, Kansas Soybean Association, National FFA Alumni Association, K-State Alumni Life Member and both the First United Methodist Church and the Washington County Historical Society.
Stewart begins his leadership of KASB at a time of renewed emphasis on local control brought about by recent legislative decisions.
"We must remain focused on and committed to what's really important, and always ask ourselves 'what is in the best interest of the students?' If we, both on our local boards and as KASB, will keep that as a guide, we can provide the kind of leadership our communities and state require."

Possibly by 2050, the United States will no longer have a majority of people of
northern European ancestry. Those of Hispanic ancestry will be the largest
"minority" group followed by African-Americans and Asian-Americans.
It's a fact of changing demographics.
Republicans need to acknowledge this reality and develop ideas and policies to address the concerns of these people. Gerrymandering congressional districts, disenfrisement of opposition voters, attempts to change state laws regarding electoral vote determination, increased SuperPac money and hostile campaign tactics will continue to fail.
Fiscal responsibility is not a greed-based approach helping the rich get richer and the poor picking up the bill. It is a balanced program of realistic spending and revenue to achieve the necessary requirements of the nation. Somewhere along the line, Republicans became the party of old, angry, white men supporting the financial interests of wealthy, old, white men.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
These star-crossed lovers don't have much sparkle
IT'S heartening to see how gorgeous the Italian cities of Verona and Mantua still are in the new Romeo and Juliet, so well-preserved that the Immortal Bard himself would recognize them -- if he actually travelled through Europe.
Those stunning locations -- Renaissance ballrooms and porticoes, squares, bridges, gardens and parlors -- almost make up for the rather disastrous casting at the heart of this production. How 17-year-old Hailee Steinfeld managed to look younger and more romantically innocent than she did in True Grit, which filmed four years ago, is anybody's guess.
Almost as big a mystery is why they cast this overmatched actress as the teen who inspires the immortal line: "I never knew true beauty until this night." Romeo (Douglas Booth) doesn't get out much. Apparently.
The callow boy has tossed aside his infatuation for one forbidden girl from the Capulet clan for another, and as cruel as it is say so, Steinfeld doesn't justify it. She rushes her lines, kisses like a rank amateur (which kind of fits -- she's supposed to be quite young) and tries not to shiver in all the unheated rooms where we see her breath as she wonders "Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
Booth is the real beauty here, a model-pretty toy boy who doesn't have a lot of camera charisma, either. The two of them make for a bland, lines-mumbling couple in an otherwise lovely and lively take on the classic play.
Paul Giamatti steals the picture as the helpful Friar Lawrence, trying not to stand in the way of love, aware of how funny he is when he tries to fight the hormones that draw the Montague boy to the Capulet girl.
"I pray you were not playing in Satan's game," he purrs. Not until they're married, anyway.
Damian Lewis manages some fury and fun as Juliet's father, and Natascha McElhone is his too-sexy wife, too understanding of Juliet's reluctance to enter into an arranged marriage at such an early age.
Ed Westwick and Christian Cooke are matched hotheads Tybalt and Mercutio, practically foaming at the mouth to take the Capulet-Montague feud, the thing that keeps our young couple apart, to a new, bloodier level.
Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) did this adaptation, with Italian director Carlo Carlei, best known for the dead-guy-comes-back-as-a-dog dramedy Fluke, utterly in over his head. It's not that the movie isn't great-looking, with stunning sets, sword fights and a nice serving of horse play. But getting his baby-faced actors comfortable or compelling was beyond him.
So as much as every generation deserves its own Romeo and Juliet, this latest one does nothing to make anyone older than Hailee Steinfeld forget the heat of Baz Lurhmann's far sexier, noisier and passionate modern-dress version of 1996, when Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio completely convinced us that they knew how to "play Satan's game." And how.

[top] Student Testimonials
Very good introduction course and instructor. The instructor answered all the questions during the course and all the main topics in the program were covered. The only recommendation would be to try making the course more agile by enforcing that everybody has a similar starting knowledge level.
Great sessions. Rick is such a good trainer, very skilled on the topic.
I think it's quite a good class, interactive and the teacher keeps your attention (not easy in a web class). Very well done.
Rick is an outstanding instructor. I have never been on any training this nicely done. The training with hands-on work generally loses its touch as we go in depth of the subject. But it was not the case with this training. The training from Rick only got more and more interesting as days passed. It was so interactive that it did not feel virtual at all! I have already recommended my other team members to go and get enlisted for this class.
course is highly recommended and also the instructor I would like to enroll in a second part course of this topic with the same instructor if possible
Perfect handling and explanation of topics. He showed a total knowledge of the subjects and explained them perfectly. 10/10 :)
Rick is a great teacher, really good at propelling the course forward while addressing individuals at different levels' concerns.
I feel extremely confident our team will be able to produce quality solutions using what we were introduced to in this class. Thanks Rick!
Enjoyed this class! I was definitely a beginner with HTML but after taking this course I learned so much and feel excited about going forth and using the learnings!! Thanks Rick!!
Very knowledgeable and pleasant instructor. Appreciated his teaching techniques a lot! I learned a lot in class. HTML5 - markup, css3 and javascript. Great examples from Rick. After completing each lab session, actually felt like I accomplished something. I also learned where to look for more information if/when I actually use what I learned in the class for real projects, which is very important to me.
Great course! Awesome instructor! Well structured and excellent hands-on lab sessions.
Great instructor! I really liked the approach and being on time and using the WebEx chat window...
Loved the interactive nature of the class & also the thoroughness of technical knowledge of the instructor Rick!
Excellent class, tons of useful information. Hands-on exercises were very fun and educating. Instructor was by far one of the best instructors I have had in my many years of training classes. Virtual environment did not hinder the instructor or material in any way.
The web sharing tools -- but more specifically the way that Rick used them -- made the class very convenient and effective. Rick has a great knack for encouraging participation and learning, which can be difficult with remote training. I would definitely take a class in this format again, and especially from Rick.
Rick's an amazing instructor. He's pleasant, informative, clear, and thorough. I really enjoyed the in depth look at the programmatic APIs of HTML5.
Liked that Rick was very structured, he was always on time, did not waste time by waiting on people. Like that the class is online, also that it is only in the morning so I can work in the afternoon. Class covered a lot of great information, learnt a lot and had fun with the labs.
This was an excellent introduction to HTML5, giving a great view of not only why you would want to use it, but also the many different technologies which support and underpin it. Just the right amount of detail for a half day.
Good pace. Riveting material. Instructor demonstrated a solid technical background and a professional demeanor in instructing the course. The usefulness of the material was actually very good to learn--I've been actively applying most of the material I've been learning throughout my development projects.
I thought Rick did a great job teaching this class. This was a virtual class and so I was skeptical that it would be a good environment for learning, but the way he taught the class was very easy to learn. Also, I had a good amount of HTML5/JavaScript experience and wasn't sure how much new stuff I would learn. I came out of the class very satisfied as I learned a lot of new things. I also liked the order that the taught things because they each built on the previous in a logical way.
This was definitely a great investment of my time.
I really enjoyed the class, It was very fluid, the instructor was prepared and the topics was very focused and clear.
Great way to handle the course, from very basic to advance topics. Challenging Labs, great ones for a bootcamp.
This was one of the most enjoyable training courses I've ever taken. The class exercises were relevant yet at the same time fun to do. Especially valuable was the advice on best coding and design practices.
The instructor knew the concepts very well, He kept the class engaging. Over all it was a very good training..
The labs really worked! I learnt a lot by doing them and now have the confidence to continue learning on my own. So thanks for getting us started on this journey.
Thank you Rick! I really really enjoyed the class. I liked everything, the methodology, the resources, practices, your answers to our questions. I learned a lot of things in this two weeks, and like fell in love with HTML5. I'd like to give you my personal thanks for everything you did for us, and the excellent teacher you are.
Rick Hurst's class on HTML5 was an excellent introduction to the technology. He covered a vast array of topics and touched on fine nuances and pitfalls on each. He also provided links to excellent resources and tools to further my learning. I would highly recommend this class to my colleagues.

Looks really good! I've done IPAs with those two hops before and in my experience the Columbus tends to come through a lot stronger than Cascade. So if that's what you are looking for then that's great. If you actually want to taste the Cascades I'd maybe do a 2:1 ratio of Cascade to Columbus for the late additions.
I'd also probably increase the dry hop. I was reading a recent issue of Zymurgy and they published some recipes for Union Jack IPA, Stone Ruination, etc and those recipes call for between .5 to 1oz of dry hop per gallon. So depending on the dry hop character you are looking for on a 50 gallon batch i'd do a minimum of 25oz dry hop.
I'd skip the honey and save the cash for more hops, personally. The honey will ferment out and leave little (aside from dryness and booze) in it's wake. 12 pounds of honey is going to run, what, $40? That's a couple of pounds of hops in my book. I'd sub some table sugar for the dryness-factor you're looking for, if it were my batch of beer. I like the CTZ/cascade combo, but as noted above, CTZ has a powerful resinous flavor and aroma that can dominate the delicate flavors of cascade hops. Good luck with the huge brew!
Edit: I'll second the call for more dry hops as well. My IIPAs are dry hopped at a rate of one ounce per gallon -- huge hop flavor and aroma.
"Good people drink good beer." -HST
i think bigbeergeek has a point, as its a huge beer with plenty of hops to mask any flavor the honey can add
Any reason you want to only brew four times a year?
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!
twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
Good call on the dry hop and honey guys. In regards to the volume, I am brewing 50 gallons solely because I can. Actually, I am going to be tuning in the system for a pro job at a brewpub. Since I have the system, I need only find a restaurant that will let me brew there and split revenue. But regardless, it sucks filling up bourbon barrels 10 gal batches at a time...
