Local Advocate Cycles to Raise Awareness of Substance Abuse
We are grateful for Andy Blasquez's participation in the Sonoma Echelon Gran Fondo cycling event last month to benefit The Partnership at Drugfree.org. Andy completed 75 miles in the California-based bike tour to help support our vision to ensure young people will be able to live their lives free of drug and alcohol abuse.
He shared that the arduous conditions and high heat almost had him give up on the long ride, but "something special happened. I realized that for my charity, The Partnership for Drugfree.org, and their beneficiaries, they don't get to just stop." Andy explained, "Stopping was no longer a privilege that I was going to afford myself. It wasn't my spirit that got me up, out of the dirt and back on my feet, but the heartache that I feel for people who have been through a hell I'll never know. I did it for the heartache that I need to prevent for the next family…and the next." Watch his personal journey throughout the event on YouTube.
The father of two raised more than $1,000 as a champion of our cause and plans to participate in the next Echelon Gran Fondo in Palo Alto, CA on September 16, 2012. Find out how you can support Andy's efforts on his personal fundraising webpage.

Cool deal! I've found some really great deals at soap.com. Its' best to either score a coupon code for free shipping or spend $25 to avoid shipping. Amazon owns them so I guess that's why they are doing the sale.

Does the Lord hear me?
The godly are those who are faithful and devoted to God. David knew that God would hear him when he called and would answer him. We too can be confident that God listens to our prayers and answers when we call on him. Sometimes we think that God will not hear us because we have fallen short of his high standards for holy living. But if we have trusted Christ for salvation, God has forgiven us, and he will listen to us. When you feel as though your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, remember that as a believer you have been set apart by God and that he loves you. He hears and answers, although his answers may not be what you expect. Look at your problems in the light of God's power instead of looking at God in the shadow of your problems. (from Life Application Bible notes)

New too this, all help appreciated!
This is my first time joining a forum, so I am completely lost as how to navigate through here. I'm doing all this from my Droid phone, because we don't get regular internet out here where I live. So I'm not sure if this will hinder my ability to access all areas of this site. I tried uploading pics of my truck, couldn't figure that out, so maybe someone can give me some tips. I own a 2006 GMC Sierra crew cab, on some 22's and a bullet grill. I'm planning on dropping the back 2", and figuring out some simple performance mods that won't break the bank. Any and all advice would be appreciated. I live in Tucson,AZ, so if anyone can help me out, maybe even point me in the direction of people close to me, I'd really appreciate it.

You play as Shaun Randall... after your time in the military, you lived a quiet, maybe a bit boring life. You worked as an office employee in a preserved food facility, your payment was good enough for you, your son Mike and your attractive but ordinary wife Kelly. One day, you wanted to go to work, but a Taxi knocked you down. You survived the accident but you`ve lost your legs. They where petrified forever. You would be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of you`re entire life. You`ve been assigned to a mental hospital after you`re first try to kill yourself. One of the Therapists, Doctor Van Wargen, had understanding and compassion for you. He gave you an Injection that killed you. You`ve been euthanised. The Doctor did everything necessary so It would look like a suicide. Patient Shaun Randall: Suicide - Died 21 January 1965 In that sleep of death...what dreams may come?

Public rights of way
The borough of Calderdale has a network of around 2000 paths totalling over 700 miles of footpaths and 125 miles of bridleways, along with a very short network of byways open to all traffic. Some of these paths are one of the best ways of seeing Calderdale's countryside while others provide useful short cuts to your local shops, bus stop or other services. You can see most of the rights of way network using Calderdale maps online although this should not be relied on for legal purposes.
This network includes sections of two national trails - the Pennine Way|, (for walkers) and, for walkers, horse riders and cyclists, sections of the Pennine Bridleway|. The Pennine Bridleway is a new linear route which will eventually run from the Peak District to Byrness in Northumberland. The section through Calderdale is complete and connects with a section running through Lancashire to form a 47-mile circular route known as the Mary Towneley Loop. A connecting route - the Calder Aire link - runs from St Ives Estate near Bingley to join the Mary Towneley Loop near Widdop reservoir in Calderdale.
Circular routes for walkers can be found on the Calderdale Way, the Todmorden Centenary Way and the Brighouse Boundary Walk, along with numerous shorter walks based around some of Calderdale's villages. Information on all these walks can be found in our Tourist Information Offices. You can also see the approximate routes of the Calderdale Way, the Pennine Way and the Pennine Bridleway in Calderdale maps online.
Most of these paths follow public rights of way which are managed by the Rights of Way team based at Northgate House. If you need any further information, contact the rights of way team .

Very useful. Great resource. Assessment is becoming more of an area of focus within schools and it is hard helping children relate to the nc levels. Great tool thanks.

The Defense of Marriage Act has been ruled unconstitutional, but gay wedded couples are still not receiving spousal benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The denial comes as a result of Title 38 of the U.S. code regarding veterans benefits, which defines marriage as the union between members of the opposite sex and is independent of DOMA.

Desperate to cobble a pro-war cautionary tale out of a blood-soaked tragedy, we keep reimagining the loss in Vietnam not as a policy failure but as the product of an America that dishonored returning troops.

Veterans prefer Mitt Romney over Barack Obama for president in the 2012 election by 58 to 34 percent, according to a Gallup poll released Memorial Day. The survey also showed that non-veterans support Obama over Romney by four percentage points, 48 to 44 percent.

Senate boss Harry Reid, pictured, says that before his majority shrinks, he intends to push ahead with a vote that could potentially allow gays to serve openly in the military. The measure is currently tied to a defense authorization bill that Reid plans to bring up during the lame duck session.
"As we mark the end of America's combat mission in Iraq," President Barack Obama said this week, "a grateful America must pay tribute to all who served there." He should have added "unless you're gay."

Why is it that every Memorial Day we note that a holiday set aside for honoring our war dead has become instead an occasion for beach-going, barbecues and baseball?
In understanding the foibles of politicians, I've always found it is a benefit to have spent large amounts of time with toddlers.
After serving almost exactly 36 years in the United States Congress, Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania has died. He had been in intensive care following gall bladder surgery. He was the first Vietnam War veteran elected to Congress. (continued)
The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 was hailed by various media outlets and veterans organizations as the GI Bill of the future. However, through my own experience in dealing with Veterans Affairs regarding the GI Bill, I have found that the help is far less than what we were led to believe.
U.S. Air Force / Airman 1st Class Amber Bressler
It was a nice idea while it lasted: The new GI Bill promised veterans who wanted to go to college money for tuition, books and living expenses. More than 277,000 signed up for the program, which was supposed to kick in Aug. 1. Many are still waiting for their checks.
Vietnam's primary lesson remains intact: American power is not without limits, both in terms of defeating an enemy and in terms of its domestic support. The primary lesson of Vietnam seems to be that it is a lesson lost. And now we have some of the same intractable problems in Afghanistan.
US Navy / MC1 Tiffini M. Jones
More than 100,000 veterans have already submitted claims under Sen. Jim Webb's new GI Bill, which aims to pay for the college tuition, housing and books of students who served in the military after 9/10/2001. That number is expected to hit 500,000 in the program's first year. (More after jump)

Some Israeli soldiers have accused military rabbis of pushing holy war in Gaza. "This rabbi comes to us and says the fight is between the children of light and the children of darkness," said a reserve sergeant quoted by the L.A. Times.
Oh, my: Barack Obama is still more than a month away from assuming the presidency and already there are reports about "the left" being dispirited about change it no longer believes in.
In naming retired Gen. Eric K. Shinseki as veterans affairs secretary, President-elect Barack Obama made what may be the most politically and morally significant choice of his transition.
It was nothing Bush did—no decision he made, no policy he pursued, no faith that he placed in ideological dogma—that he finds regrettable. Bush told a cable network, "I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said" over the course of eight tumultuous years.

Troubling questions hover over Lt. Cmdr. McCain's actions in the catastrophic 1967 fire aboard the aircraft carrier Forrestal and the period immediately afterward. His later accounts of events following the accident also raise issues. American voters, after hearing so much from the senator's campaign about his military record, deserve to know all the facts.

I didn't like BMWs until I realized they are not just statues symbols but actually really bad ### cars. The m-seires are some of the fastest best handling cars their class.
Jaguar on the hand.... but I do like the new direction Jag is taking. I think, but could be wrong, that they hired a new lead designer, (and the old one now works for Aston Martin).
and the Subaru BRZ... I just wont get excited about this car until I see some track times. Subuare already makes one of the single best cars in the world (for the cash) the WRX STI, and the their twinturbo B4 (jap model) is nothing to laugh at and comes in at 280hp. I simply to not see this cars beating either of subaru's other sport(y) cars.
911- 7 speed transmission... WOW. you have any idea how annoying that would be if you lived in the city?
The VW beetle should die. What an UGLY terrible car. I 100% agree with Jermeny Clarksons feelings on that car.
cant stand American cars, but the new mustang (and Corvette) are insainly bad $$$ cars.
well, richard hammond will be excited about the new Porsche's, and jeremy clarckson will no doubt make fun of the little bmw electric car, but i think bugatti should come out with a car that goes faster than the old 16.4 SS

Mercedes makes me sick. I love the look and feel, but they really need to get with the times. There is absolutely no excuse for them being unable to squeeze more than 300bhp out of their engines without dropping their efficiency to 10-12mpg.
i see the brz as a real original pony car, small fun to drive rwd. not retarded amounts of horsepower. that lil thing has wicked amounts of potential and is begging to be modded.
from another site "The quad exhaust tips seem like overkill for a naturally aspirated engine, and may be proof that Subaru is pulling our leg about the STI being naturally aspirated. Let's hope so. If the car has about 200 bhp, that drag-inducing wing and diffuser won't make much sense. The weight reducing carbon-fiber roof helps reduce the car's center of gravity, but engineers say the BRZ's CG is already lower than a Porsche Boxster's."
i intend to buy one and see just what it can do

Not every presidential nominee in the modern era has won both Iowa and New Hampshire. But they have all received a boost from at least one of them.
And therein lies Hillary Clinton's predicament: If she loses to Barack Obama on Tuesday night, she will have suffered back-to-back defeats in the lead-off states, both in raw numbers and in terms of media perception. Never, in either party, has a candidate endured such a fate and gone on to claim the nomination. And never has a candidate won both events—as Obama is poised to do—and been denied the nomination.
The same history applies to the Republican side, underscoring the do-or-die stakes of the John McCain-Mitt Romney contest in New Hampshire: the loser will have suffered clear losses in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Only one of them figures to emerge with the viability to challenge Mike Huckabee, Iowa's winner. And history doesn't smile at all on the waiting-game strategy being employed by both Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.
Here is a look at how the Iowa/New Hampshire one-two punch has affected past nominating contests for both parties:
2004: John Kerry wins undisputed victories in Iowa and New Hampshire and emerges as the overwhelming favorite to win the nomination. The party, eager to unite for a fall race against George W. Bush, quickly coalesces around him. This mood also makes it suicidal for his opponents to run negative campaign against him. Meanwhile, Howard Dean, who had been the front-runner before Iowa, watches his support evaporate with his back-to-back setbacks in the first two states. Three of Kerry's foes—Dean, John Edwards and Wesley Clark—stick around for a few weeks, mainly to be in position if Kerry stumbles. He doesn't, and the nomination is his by the middle of March.
2000: Al Gore follows up a 28-point win over Bill Bradley in Iowa with a narrow 4-point escape job in New Hampshire, aided by independent voters (who favored Bradley) lopsidedly opting to participate in the G.O.P. primary. A change of a few points would have made Bradley a contender for the nomination, but instead the twin defeats devastate his campaign. Casual supporters jump ship, the news media loses interest and Bradley is flushed from the race in the next wave of contests.
1996: No primaries
1992: Iowa is not contested, making New Hampshire the first major event. Bill Clinton loses the state to Paul Tsongas but declares a moral victory in his concession speech, calling himself "the comeback kid." The media buys it and treats Clinton like a winner. Two weeks later, in the next big test for the candidates, Clinton scores a lopsided win in Georgia and loses narrowly in Maryland (to Tsongas) and Colorado (to Jerry Brown), leading the media to dub him the day's overall winner. Decisive Clinton victories on Super Tuesday the following week all but cement the nomination.
1988: Michael Dukakis finishes third in Iowa but is portrayed as a winner by the media, since his 22 percent showing is considered strong for a Northeast governor running against two candidates from bordering states (Richard Gephardt and Paul Simon). Dukakis then wins New Hampshire by nearly 20 points over Gephardt and Simon, establishing him as the clear national front-runner. With his momentum, Dukakis is then able to pull off his "four corners" strategy on Super Tuesday (the next major test), winning Maryland, Florida, Texas and Washington on the same day. Jesse Jackson and Al Gore (who largely skipped Iowa and New Hampshire) each win several southern states on Super Tuesday, but Dukakis, by demonstrating appeal in multiple regions of the country, is seen as gaining the most from the day. After a surprise loss to Jackson in Michigan the following weekend, Dukakis overwhelms his foes in Wisconsin and New York, sealing the nomination.
1984: Walter Mondale posts a three-to-one win in Iowa over Gary Hart, but the result nonetheless certifies Hart as the main alternative to Mondale, a role no one had yet assumed. Hart rockets to a 13-point triumph in New Hampshire and the press immediately declares him the national front-runner—even though Mondale had led his nearest rival by 49 points in a national poll just weeks before New Hampshire. Hart quickly reels off a series of small caucus and primary wins, setting the stage for Super Tuesday (then a much smaller affair than now) and his chance to finish off Mondale. But the former V.P. turns the tables on Hart in a debate in Atlanta, suggesting (sort of as Hillary now is about Obama) that his opponent is all talk and no action. "Where's the beef?" Mondale asks, quoting the then-popular Wendy's advertising slogan in reference to Hart's "new ideas" platform. Mondale scores life-saving wins in Georgia and Alabama and the media declares Super Tuesday a draw. That puts Mondale back in the game, and his machine slowly wears Hart down over the next few months (the nominating process was evenly spread out and lasted through early June back then).
1980: There is something of a parallel between the talk now coming from Hillary's campaign—downplaying a potential New Hampshire loss and portraying the nomination race as a long marathon—and the '80 campaign between Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy. Carter, the incumbent president, wins clear victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, but Kennedy, who was more well-known and better-funded than most challenger candidates, refuses to fold and insists he'll compete through the convention. The race ends up lasting for several months, with Kennedy scoring enough wins at critical times to keep his campaign alive. But Carter, thanks to his early momentum and establishment backing, always has the upper hand, and Kennedy is always playing catch-up. On June 3, the final day of voting, Carter pushes past the magic delegate number with a win in Ohio. Had Kennedy won in New Hampshire, where he'd invested heavily, expectations might have shifted in the subsequent states.
1976: Jimmy Carter wins Iowa (which he alone contests), providing him with enough momentum to win New Hampshire by 5 points over Mo Udall (a significant setback for Udall). This establishes Carter as a credible alternative to George Wallace in the South, and Carter eliminates Wallace with a victory in Florida. Carter then knocks Scoop Jackson out in Pennsylvania and Udall in Wisconsin. Frank Church and Jerry Brown then enter the race and run to Carter's left in the May and June primaries, but their late success is not enough to deny Carter a first ballot nomination. Carter's path to victory is significant because it announces the predominance of Iowa and New Hampshire in a nominating process that is increasingly being decided by primaries and caucuses—and not at party conventions.
1972: This was the first year in which Iowa and New Hampshire both play meaningful roles in the nominating contest. George McGovern, who authored the new nominating procedures that went into effect in '72 gains credibility in Iowa, even though he finishes second to Ed Muskie. His second place finish to Muskie in New Hampshire is also deemed a victory by the press—and a repudiation of Muskie, a Senator from neighboring Maine who had been the overwhelming national front-runner. Muskie collapses and McGovern gobbles up subsequent primaries, surviving charges from George Wallace (who is shot before his Maryland victory) and Hubert Humphrey to secure the nomination.
2000: Very similar to the '84 Democratic race. Like Walter Mondale, George W. Bush enters as the clear national front-runner and posts a sizable win in Iowa—as expected. But then he is thumped in New Hampshire by John McCain, who touts a reform message and attracts hordes of independent voters. Bush arrests McCain's momentum with an ugly South Carolina win, restoring his standing as the safe pick for establishment Republicans. McCain win
s the next contest—in Michigan—but only with the help of independent and Democratic voters, a fact that Bush uses to further his case that McCain is not a loyal Republican, but rather a tool of the party's opponents. In the next wave of contests (in more conservative states, and in closed primary states) Bush wins going away.
1996: Iowa introduces Pat Buchanan and Lamar Alexander (second and third place in the caucuses) as front-runner Bob Dole's chief rivals for the nomination, and Buchanan follows up with a shocking New Hampshire win. Dole finishes second, with Alexander just behind him in third. But Alexander is squeezed from the race, with the press focusing exclusively on a Dole-Buchanan race. Dole rallies the panicked G.O.P. establishment in South Carolina and fends off Buchanan, signaling the demise of any realistic Buchanan nomination scenario. Billionaire publisher Steve Forbes, who entered the race late and downplayed Iowa and New Hampshire, scores a surprise win in Delaware and emerges as a late alternative to Dole, but Dole—with the inevitability he recovers in South Carolina—crushes him on Super Tuesday.
1992: Iowa is not contested, but Pat Buchanan mounts a challenge to President George H.W. Bush in New Hampshire. He announces his candidacy 9 weeks before the primary but rails against Bush's reneged "no new taxes" pledge and his seeming indifference to the toll a recession has taken on the state and country. Buchanan scores a stunning 37 percent—initial returns have him running in the 40′s—to Bush's 53. Buchanan presses on but his is regarded as a protest candidacy and not a serious bid for the nomination. He is handily beaten in subsequent states—but the damage to Bush reverberates in the general election.
1988: Like Hillary Clinton this year, George H.W. Bush enters as the overwhelming national front-runner only to finish a stunning third place in Iowa—behind Bob Dole and Pat Robertson, in his case. Bush's lead in New Hampshire, 20 points before the caucuses, evaporates in four days, but Bush goes negative and Dole stumbles in a debate, allowing Bush to pull out a 38-29 percent win on primary night. Dole's plight worsens when, in a post-primary interview on NBC, he snarls that Bush should "stop lying" about his record. Bush, his momentum recovered and his campaign backed by the state's formidable G.O.P. establishment, routs Dole (and Robertson) in South Carolina and cruises to the nomination. With a New Hampshire win, Dole might have rallied much of the party establishment to his side and thwarted Bush in the South. This may be why Bush begins his general election victory speech in November 1988 with the words, "Thank you, New Hampshire."
1984: No primaries.
1980: Ronald Reagan is the clear national front-runner who trips up in Iowa, falling to George H.W. Bush by three points. Bush emerges as Reagan's chief rival, but Reagan rights his ship in New Hampshire, trouncing Bush and re-establishing his national footing. After a string of Reagan wins, Bush engineers an upset win in Pennsylvania, but it fails to alter the momentum and Reagan runs the table.

According to a companywide memo issued by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the Cupertino, Calif., company is combining its education sales and marketing teams into one education business unit that numbers more than 750.
"For over 25 years, Apple has led the way in applying technology to education," Jobs said in the memo. "The education market is part of our DNA.
"Like most markets, the education market has become very competitive. While we are continuing to innovate with new products, like the eMac, Xserve, Mac OS X and Remote Desktop, we also recognize the need to be more cohesive and responsive with our education sales and marketing efforts."
Heading the new group as vice president, education, is John Couch. Couch served as vice president and general manager of Apple's Personal Office Sales division, which oversaw development of the Lisa, Apple's short-lived GUI forerunner to the original Macintosh. He was most recently CEO of DoubleTwist Inc., an Oakland, Calif., developer of software for the life sciences that ceased operations in March 2002.
Under the new organizational scheme, Couch will report to Timothy V. Cook, executive vice president, worldwide sales and operations; both the education sales team (headed by Jim Marshall) and the education marketing team will report to Couch.
Cheryl Vedoe, former head of the education marketing team, is assuming the title of president of Apple's PowerSchool division. Created by Apple's March 2001 acquisition of PowerSchool, the group provides Web-based student information systems for K-12 schools and school districts. "The PowerSchool development, sales and marketing teams will now report to Cheryl, creating a 'FileMaker Inc.' style organization that has the single goal of making PowerSchool's products successful in the education market," Jobs wrote....

Peace of mind -
We've had one of these for years and have used it often. Many rentals don't have safes in them, so this works very well to secure valuables while you sight-see. Finding a secure place to attach it to may take some ingenuity (a gas pipe in the most recent use) so look around carefully. I like the hint about securing it inside a suitcase to the frame. Thanks.
By Kim G., N. Dallas, TX in April, 2011
Gift for Husband -
My pilot husband spends much time in hotels worldwide. Safety is always a concern & he wanted something to hold his most important items no matter where he was. My husband uses it to hold his keys, ID, wallet, sunglasses & phone whether in the gym, a restaurant, poolside, locked onto his luggage or tethered to something in the room. He's used it at water & theme parks w/the kids & locked it onto his chair or belt (on rides) to secure sunglasses & camera while having fun w/the kids. Love this!

Not just for travel -
I have been using my Travelsafe when I take my kids to the water park. I lock in my wallet, phone, keys, etc and strap it to my stroller and a lawn chair side by side. I feel very safe without having to constantly check on our stuff. I don't usually leave behind any valuables in my hotel room when I travel, but I'd feel a little safer if I had to.

I use this when I take my kids to the water park. We lock our phones, wallets, keys, etc in the safe and strap it to the stroller and a chair. We can wander and chase the kids without having to worry about our valuables. I love the travelsafe.
By Richard H., San Juan, PR in April, 2010
Great option when no in-room safe -
I purchased a larger backpack version and found that it was really heavy to carry... so I replaced it with this smaller version and its just perfect for passports, cameras, etc. and easy to pack even if you never have to use it.

Suns struggling to find their offense
In the eight games after the coaching change, the Suns scored 90 or more points in a season-high eight straight games.
In the last eight games, however, the Suns have reached the 90-point mark just three times.
"We haven't been in a good rhythm offensively in a while, probably since Portland," Jared Dudley said. "When it comes to offensively, I just think we're in a bad place right now. I don't know if it's because our defense is affecting our offense, offense affecting our defense. We need to work on both, but if you can't score 90 points it's going to tough for you to win in this league."
The Suns haven't won, losing three straight and seven of eight overall. Going into Monday night's action, their 18-39 record is the fourth-worst mark in the NBA.
"It's really pretty deep in the season and we still got some problems with the offense," Goran Dragic said. "Some guys just forgot the plays or they're not in the right spot. We've got maybe one option or two and none more. We have to find some other options too."
Dragic did say the chemistry between him and Marcin Gortat has improved, especially on pick-and-rolls. "He's really diving well," said Dragic, who assisted on half of Gortat's ten made field goals against San Antonio Sunday.
The constant lineup shuffling is likely not help matters. And after practice Monday, Hunter again hinted at changing who he sends out to start games. "Quite possibly," he said. "Nothing is concrete. I just think we're looking for some consistency out of our guys and find a level of comfort for them and then we can continue to push forward."
Dudley, who's seen his minutes fluctuate, is not buying the number of different rotations as a reason for the team's lack of scoring punch.
"You can't use that as an excuse," he said. "I would just say right now, it's not good chemistry. The ball is sticking, staying in one hand. In basketball, when you don't have a go-to guy or a guy you can throw it in and give you 25 points a game the ball has got to move from side to side. I just think that we've got to start using our strength a little better."
Putting the ball in the basket has become even more difficult to do at US Airways Center. In the last three home games, the Suns have averaged 81.3 points on 36.9 percent shooting, including 26.2 percent from 3-point range.
"We've been trying to break things down and simplify for our guys," Hunter said. "I don't think it has to be something that's complicated. It just has to be simplified and show guys how to execute in the small things we do. That's what it's about, and we're getting there."

HSUS Letter to McDonalds
The HSUS submits a letter to McDonalds encouraging the corporation to switch to cage-free eggs.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has submitted a shareholder resolution to fast-food giant McDonald's, asking that the McDonald's franchises begin making the transition to cage-free eggs, on both ethical and safety grounds. Currently, all of the US McDonald's restaurants use only eggs from caged hens, though all of the English franchises are cage-free, and the European Union (EU) franchises are soon to follow by the end of the year. "Piling hens into cages so small the birds can't even extend their wings, is both an animal welfare and food safety threat," said Dr. Michael Greger, the director of public health and animal agriculture for the HSUS. "It's time for the McDonald's to follow the lead of major companies and phase-in cage-free eggs, which are better for animals and safer for consumers."

Peerless Jazz Vocals
About Jane Monheit
One of the jazz world's most acclaimed vocalists, Jane Monheit is at the height of her powers as a singer and song interpreter. Her recent recording, The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me, reveals a new level of maturity while still showcasing her dazzling vocal prowess on tunes by Cole Porter, Ivan Lins, and Paul Simon. It is perhaps her most dynamic record to date, and shows that she is just getting better.
Growing up on Long Island in New York, Monheit studied clarinet and theory early on, and started vocal training at 17 with Peter Eldridge at the Manhattan School of Music. She started gigging with pianist David Berkman and drummer/boyfriend (now husband) Rick Montalbano. It was her second place finish in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition that turned people's heads and led to more gigs and recording projects. Her debut record, Never Never Land, was voted Best Debut Recording by the members of the Jazz Journalists Association, and stayed on the Billboard Charts for over a year. Her next release, Come Dream With Me, entered the charts at Number One and was nominated for a Grammy.
After 9 tumultuous years in the spotlight, Monheit is coming into her own. Originally modeled as the Next Great Jazz Singer after Diana Krall, she has taken her own path, showcasing her sumptuous voice on a variety of projects: Brazilian bossas, symphony orchestras, Christmas classics, and standards. With her latest release, she is in complete control, presenting pop tunes and standards alike, and sounds more like Jane Monheit than any other singer.

What Other People Have Been Saying...
"Jane Monheit has so many natural gifts-a phenomenal ear, wide vocal range, rhythmic poise and musical ingenuity-but perhaps the most precious of these is restraint. It is fatally easy for a virtuoso singer to reduce a beautiful song to rubble. Monheit decorates a melody, lights up a lyric, but never loses the essential thread of the song itself."-London Guardian

THE DILEMMA: My 9-year-old daughter wants to wear short skirts and midriff-baring tops to school, but I don't want her to dress like a teenager.
WHAT TO SAY: Your immediate reaction might be to nix the trashy outfits, but you're better off trying to figure out what would make your daughter happy. "If you say no, your child might learn to do things behind your back," says Levin. "If you let her feel like she has a voice, you'll help her learn to live thoughtfully and responsibly."
Ask your daughter why she wants to dress like this. If she says she's worried that her friends—or boys—won't like her if she doesn't, ask if her girlfriends have the same problem and what they do. Explain why you're concerned and sympathize about how hard it is to live up to these standards. Then try to compromise. Maybe she can wear a short-but-not-too-short skirt with her favorite sweater. In the meantime, try to get her interested in something other than clothes. Encourage her to participate in activities that will make her feel good about herself, such as gymnastics or the school play, and support her friendships with kids less concerned about appearances.
Annette Cavallone faced this situation recently when her 7-year-old daughter, Sara, wanted to tie up her shirt to expose her midriff at a soccer game. "I asked her why, and she said the other girls wear their shirts like that, and she wants to show her belly because she's skinny," says the mother of three in Long Valley, NJ. "Sara thinks it's cool to look like that, but she doesn't understand what 'sexy' is. I said, 'You're here to play soccer; this isn't a fashion show.' And I mentioned that she wouldn't be comfortable playing soccer that way. I'm wondering, where are these girls going to go from here if they're dressing like teens now?"

This innovative Arabic language and cultural program will enrich your worldview while preparing you for your post-graduate military experience.THE CITY
Nestled into the hills between vast deserts and the fertile Jordan Valley, Amman, Jordan, is a diverse city that offers something new for you to discover daily from historical landmarks to modern boutiques. You will participate in guided historical and cultural site visits throughout Jordan such as Jerash, Aljoun, the Dead Sea, Petra and the Wadi Rum.
OrientationYou will participate in a comprehensive orientation prior to departure. Upon arrival in Jordan, you will attend an on-site orientation to introduce you to the program, the city of Amman, and Jordanian culture.
Courses offered
You will be taught Arabic from some of the most respected language teachers in the area: from the Qasid Institute for Classical & Modern Standard Arabic. This eight-week program teaches Arabic in two four-week sessions. During each session, you will take one Modern Standard Arabic course and one colloquial Jordanian Arabic course. Classes meet five hours per day, Sunday through Thursday. In this intensive program, each session will cover the material typically presented in one semester on a U.S. campus.

Based on a placement test, you will enroll in the level appropriate for your Arabic language proficiency and earn 11-12 credits upon completion of the program.

TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals
The Orioles made it official and announced the signing of veteran outfielder Endy Chavez. The deal is reported to be worth $1.5M with another $500K in incentives.My enduring memory of Chavez was from a game I saw him play against the Astros in Montreal in 2003. He was manning center field for the Expos and made a couple of really nice plays defensively and stroked an RBI double to tie the game. (The Expos won in the bottom of the 10th as Jose Macias, of all people, hit a walk off homer.)He's not the fielder he was 9 years ago but he might just be the best defensive outfielder for the Orioles in 2012. His 6.6 UZR/150 score for the Rangers would have led all Oriole outfielders in 2011. His bat is not horrible and he is a decent, if not great, baserunner. As far as 4th outfielder candidates go, Matt Angle and Kyle Hudson are the only players on the roster who could fill that role and I don't think either is ready for that job in 2012 (if ever). Chavez fills a need and he is lik...

Double the Value of Your Gift!
Many people are not aware that companies often provide a "Matching Gift Program" as an employee benefit. These programs vary as to the amount matched, but generally offer a dollar-for-dollar match when an employee makes a personal gift to a nonprofit organization. At RIT, you receive credit for both your gift and the matching gift amount!
To find out NOW if your company offers a matching gift program, search our HEP online matching gift clearing house. You can search by company or subsidiary name and find out matching ratios, company contacts, etc. Every year, hundreds of companies help support RIT through this generous program.
Check directly with your human resources or matching gift department to find out how your company handles matching gifts. In some cases, you will be given a matching gift form to complete and send along with your gift. Other companies prefer to send an email verifying when and how your gift will be matched.
If your spouse or partner also works for a matching gift company, you may be able to TRIPLE the value of your gift!

Wooden bats make a dent in amateur offense
by KDLT Sports
August 07, 2012 7:25 PM
Dell Rapids Mudcats Jesse Kurtenbach and Nate Henry have been playing Amateur baseball for years, but one change that is new to their game, starts with the crack of a bat...Both power-hitters have been known for muscling ones out of the park, but with wooden bats, hitting among other things, has become more difficult.
"Try not to swing at as many bad pitches..try to find a good pitch to hit...you can't really get away with a whole lot now with wooden bats...it is alot harder to hit with them and hit consistently," said Mudcats player Nate Henry.
Some players have said that the change has been a good thing: they say it has leveled the playing field with the game becoming more of a pitcher's duel, lower scoring and not getting away with cheap hits like they used to.
"The pitchers are more effective, really have to be heck of a pitcher to dominate in alumnium bat era and it is more restricted with wood bats," said team manager, Jim Wilber.
"It definitely helps the pitching-makes it harder to hit but I think guys that know how to hit are still hitting the ball ok 17 everyone's batting average has probably dropped several hundreds points...power numbers have dropped but you still know when you hit it well," said Jesse Kurtenbach.
Overall, they say the change has been positive.
"I haven't tried to change approach too much...I stand a little further from the plate now," said Kurtenbach.
"It has def taken a hit on power numbers but as long as you have hits and produce runs, that's the main thing," said Henry.
And when you catch a good one, you can tell by the crack of the bat! It still goes a long way..

Still behind on blog posts due to our recent vacation! Wanted to share a few snaps from a recent engagement shoot at Coronado Beach with a very sweet couple!
Tag Archives: san diego wedding
MAI & CHRIS | Coronado Beach Engagement Session
CHRIS & COURTNEY | Carlsbad Wedding
After a few years of long distance love, we are happy to say that Chris & Courtney are now living in the same city! We should add that they decided to plant their roots in San Diego. Good choice!
We are so incredibly smitten over these two. Both are super relaxed, super nice and always have a smile on their face especially Courtney. Her smile is as contagious as…chicken pox! Wait, is chicken pox contagious anymore? Even after Chris smashed cake in her face she had the biggest smile AND didn't seek revenge! WHAT?!?!
Amazing vendors of the day:
Venue: Sheraton Carlsbad
Ceremony Venue: St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church
Coordinator: A Day to Remember, Tammy Coleman
DJ: DJ Guy
Dessert bar: Champagne Bakery
MICHELLE & LEI | Bali Hai Wedding San Diego
Well we knew we would have a blast with these two! Their day was non-stop laughs during their portrait session all the way to the end of the evening. One part in particular that had has rolling on the floor was when Michelle thanked her dad for giving birth to her during their "thank you" speech. Of course, Lei being the character that he is followed up by thanking his dad for giving birth to him as well. They also had some pretty entertaining games (courtesy of their awesome dj crew) throughout their reception that kept everyone smiling!
We also have to give an extra special shout out to Michelle's mom who created all the fun details & flowers for their wedding. It was pretty incredible!
Also, we worked with a fantastic team of vendors that helped make the day extra special!
Venue: Bali Hail
DJ: 101 Party Productions
Videographer: Lloyd Films
Cake: Fab Cakes
FATEMEH + TYLER | Hotel Del Coronado Wedding
We were so honored to photograph Fatemeh + Tyler's intimate wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado. It's been some time since we photographed here so I was super excited to explore the hotel grounds once again. And let me tell you Fatemeh + Tyler are pure naturals in front of the camera so I was in photographer heaven!
GEOFFREY & JESSICA | Coronado Engagement
We started Geoffrey & Jessica's session at their AMAZING condo in Coronado. Immediately upon walking into their home I felt like I was in the Apple Store — clean & bright and i just wanted to touch everything! Here we got to meet, Nosey, Jeff's pet snake. We've shot dogs up the wahoo but this was our very first snake session! Surprisingly, Nosey kinda acts like a dog…sleeps all day, likes to be warm & cuddly, gives kisses, sits, stays. We were enamored by her and our super gorgeous couple, of course! The session ended at one of their favorite trails where we were able to capture some beautiful skies!
G & J — we had a heck of time getting to know you guys during your session! we can't wait till your wedding this year!!!
MICHELLE & LEI | Engagement Session
All we can say about these two is that from beginning to end we had a great time with them! Whether they were eating ice cream or making dirt angels or just walking hand in hand we had a perma-grin just watching them. We seriously can not wait for their wedding day! We're certain that their family & friends will be just as fun!
When we told Lei to lean on the tree he thought we said "climb" the tree. What's funny is he actually did it! we <3 these two!
Lei mentioned that if Michelle gets mad all he has to do is buy her mint chocolate chip and he's forgiven. How easy peasy is that?!?
BRAD & CHRISTINE | Abbey Wedding
We can't tell you enough how crazy we are about Brad & Christine. Truly two of the funniest, sweetest and most genuine couples we know. Okay, so maybe Christine is the funny one and Brad is the shy one! Nevertheless, these two are meant for each other and it was evident throughout the day just by the way they looked each other or snuck kisses when they thought no one was looking.
On their wedding day we also got to see Benny & Cheryl (one of our past couples) and Eileen & Ryan (one of our future couples). So now we can say that we had the past, present and future of Trailbrook Photography all in one place! Wow. That was corny but i like it!
On to the photos….
NATE & LINDA | Catamaran Wedding
I have to begin by saying that I am in love with Linda's dress. Everywhere we went people stopped to compliment her dress so I definitely was not the only one! In addition, Linda did her own hair & make-up which came out incredible!
On their wedding day we were blessed with an amazing couple with incredible style & undeniable chemistry, a beautiful sunset, a crowdful of wild & crazy dancers and a perfect team of vendors. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding to be a part of!
Thanks to their dj, Mick Scrivener of Elite British DJ, for making this shot happen!
Venue: Catamaran Hotel
Coordinator: Julie Scrivener, The Best Wedding For You
DJ: Mick Scrivener, Elite British DJ
Florals: Simply Adina
ADRIAN & CANDIS | Pearl Banquet Wedding
There are so many things that I admire about Candis & Adrian…their generosity, their dedication to each other, their carefreeness (that probably isn't a word! )…the list goes on and on. throughout the day adrian would just admire candis while candis worked her sparkling personality. and we couldn't help but admire her too!
Candis & Adrian — you guys are so beautiful! congrats on such a perfect day! look forward to showing you ALL your pics! see you guys soon!
Candis & Adrian had the best sermon at their wedding. The priest compared marriage to chewing gum….delicious & flavorful at first but after time it gets old and dull. he, of course, said to try to avoid feeling this way. everyone was cracking up!
but with laughter comes tears and i lost it when i saw adrian crying happy tears…happy, we found out later, to be a part of candis' amazing family and start a family of his own.

A grand opening community celebration will take place April 30 – May 2, with a portion of the weekend's proceeds donated to The Trustees of Reservations, a conservation organization that oversees over 100 properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value in Massachusetts, including three in the Hingham area.
Kayaking is the signature sport of the Hingham store with an extensive selection of boats and accessories for recreational paddling, sea kayaking, and fishing. The selection of gear and apparel available at the new Hingham store includes Eastern Mountain Sports' proprietary products such as its outerwear layering system SYNC and Techwick®, its versatile, moisture management base layer. Like all other Eastern Mountain Sports stores, the new store will have Foot Gurus, sales associates specially trained to analyze feet and to custom fit athletic footwear.
