Down Syndrome boy reacts to college acceptance, zoo cheers panda, faithful dog, boy gets to fly like Iron Man
UNDATED (KTHV) - From one of the best college acceptance reactions ever to a sick boy's dream of flying coming true, there are plenty of positive stories from the past week that are definitely on the 'brighter side'.
Down Syndrome student reacts to getting into college
For many high school seniors, there is one coveted piece of mail that has the power to change lives -- a college acceptance or rejection letter. Noah VanVooren, who has Down syndrome, has been waiting in anticipation for his letter from Edgewood College in Madison, Wis. That's why when the letter finally arrived last week, he could barely contain his excitement -- even before he opens it! Watch the video to see VanVooren totally lose it over some of the best news ever: He was accepted.
Zoo builds playground to cheer sad panda
Even the cutest creatures on earth can feel a bit lonely at times. Sijia, a panda living at the Yunnan Wildlife Park in China, became depressed after a fellow panda was sent to another facility. So staff at the park came up with some ideas to cheer her up. First they installed a television and showed her programs featuring other pandas. Then they set up a playground with parallel bars and swings for her to play on. So far, it seems her spirits are up!
Dog waits for owner outside hospital for 8 days
A patient pup was finally reunited with his owner who was hospitalized for more than a week in Brazil. According to local reports, the dog waited outside the hospital in Passo Fundo for eight days while his owner, Lauri da Costa, was undergoing an operation. In a heartwarming video, filmed by animal rights group ComPaTA, Seco jumps on the Brazilian man after the two are reunited in the hospital's courtyard.
8-year-old's wish to fly like Iron Man comes true
Max Vertin is a lot like other 8-year-olds. He likes pizza, collecting bugs and watching baseball. But unlike other boys, he suffers a rare disease that's eating away at his muscles – Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. nfortunately for the Vertins, it runs in the family. Max's brothers Charlie and Rowen suffer from the very same disease. But this week, the family experienced some good luck. They've been treated with parties, limo rides and a dream-come-true for Max. He got to fly like his favorite superhero, Iron Man. It was all thanks to the "Make-a-Wish" foundation which brought the Vertins from their home in Hastings, Nebraska to Lone Tree, Colorado. It was there that they visited SkyVenture Colorado, a company that gave Max and his whole family the chance to fly in a special indoor wind tunnel.

A few days ago former Kansas City Chief Quinten Lawrence wrote on his Facebook page that he signed with the Miami Dolphins and the team has now confirmed the move.
The Miami Dolphins announced today the signing of cornerback Quinten Lawrence. Lawrence spent the last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
We've talked quite a few times about the Kansas City Chiefs 2009 draft class. By the end of last season, we were left thinking that it was a pretty weak class. There were plenty of possible reasons...
Last weekend the Kansas City Chiefs made a waiver claim on nose tackle Anthony Toribio, who was waived by the Green Bay Packers on the final cut down day.

The contribution of (not so) public research to commercial innovations in the field of combinatorial chemistry
AbstractThis paper examines the roles that publicly funded research play in the process of combinatorial drug discovery. It is shown that firms rely heavily on public research knowledge and, even more so, on education in organic chemistry, genomics and biochemistry. Publicly funded research also led to the creation of dozens of chemical-based companies, provided firms with an access to a larger network of innovators and generated important instruments and methods that are being used throughout the value chain of combinatorial drug discovery. The effects of public research, however, often look different depending on whether one sees them through the prism of larger or smaller firms, EU15 countries or the US, universities or other PROs.

I'm so sorry – I totally forgot to turn the maintenance mode off the last time I worked on the site behind-the-scenes I'm sorry!
I got back from the hospital a few hours ago I can't tell you how weird it is writing this with my laptop, the screen feels huge after 8 days of accessing online world though a smart phone. That device is just fabulous, but computer is always a computer
Anyway, I'm home. Don't expect any updates anywhere until propably after the weekend at the earliest, and then still I'll be updating only as long as I feel I'm not overexerting myself. I'm still very much recovering and got a month of sick leave for now, blood tests etc. once a week until I hear otherwise. And I just want to catch my breath for a few days and catch up on everything I've missed
I'm still in the hospital, and don't know when I'll be released.
I can now confirm, that the big thing was/is my liver accompanied by a few other smaller things. Seems I've started recovering now though because my liver vitals improved a lot over the weekend.
There are still some liver related tests and biopsy results pending, and I guess they want to wait for those because the usual things that they look for first came up all clear, and now checking for other possible causes. So there's no diagnosis yet.
So, heading to right direction at the moment but not out of the woods yet.
Still in the hospital. Gonna be the whole weekend; Monday next time the situstion appraisal.
All sites are on hiatus until further notice.
I'm in the hospital, been here since yesterday morning – first at the ER then ward. Don't know when I can go back home, they need to find out what caused the acute bad diarrhea that induced dehydration (so bad I was falling down due to dizzyness) – antibiotic or acute worsening of Crohn's Disease.
They also performed the liver scan test thingy that my gastroentorolist has queed me up for due to abnormal bilirubin results, and that came back all clear. Also, my skin is tinted yellow jaundice I think is the word. Didn't see it myself at all at home, but here under neutral lights yes. Azamun might be the culprit for all this, they say but are still investigating.
All good on my sites again. I finished fixing the problems caused by the php upgrade on Coppermine installations on day before yesterday but wouldn't you know – when I woke up yesterday, the Coppermine developers had rolled out a security upgrade while I slept *head desk* Talk about bad timing!
So again I had to re-upload all the Coppermine files to all my sites and re-install. Took me today and yesterday to finish but it's all done now! So, all galleries on all sites should be up and working normally, and as far as I can tell, no content was lost If you encounter any problems, please do let me know, so I can fix them
My host upgraded all the servers to latest stable version of php this weekend, and this has resulted in some problems. None of my sites were affected with the WordPress problems loads of other people have, but looks like that for some reason most of my Coppermine (gallery) files have became corrupt, resulting in Internal Server Errors. At first I worried it was a hack or something in the upgrade hadn't finished properly, but that's not the case. Coppermine files just became corrupt/damaged in the upgrade (don't ask me why!)
Luckily from one test site I just did, I can fix this by myself Please bear with me while I work on this, hopefully everything should be back to normal by Tuesday or Wednesday night. I will propably re-upload the Coppermine files to all the sites, regardless of whether the gallery is coming up with the dreaded Internal Server Error or not – just to make sure that all files are that should be.
I just hope we haven't lost any photo content – haven't heard anything such from other hostees though, and haven't noticed anything missing myself. But I've been in the panick mode the last several hours, so not sure I'd notice unless like half the gallery was missing.
My host's partner, Hollywood.com, activated today the Hollywood Bar on all fan-sites.org sites without Gertie's OK on the Bar design and in the process messed up the layouts of all the sites.
It's been looked at now, and will be fixed ASAP but until then the Hollywood Bar messes up the layouts of the sites more or less, depending on the design.
Before Mike Quick, the owner of mikes-images.com took his website offline earlier this year due to personal and health related reasons, he lifted the ban on uploading his files to other websites – which was simply wonderful of him because I for one would've hated to lose all of those wonderful Xena things up there! I have now uploaded all the Xena related photo scans to my gallery, under the Mike's Images section in the Photos category. Some samples below…
Gallery: Home > Photos & Scans > Mike's Images
Have been having computer troubles since last Friday; ended up having to re-install Windows yesterday and so now I need to get all my usual programs/scripts re-installed and also move back a lot screencaps, photos, music etc. from the various external hard drives where I had to move them temporarily so I wouldn't lose them .
I doubt I'll be get back to updating until after the weekend.

In his first season at JU, Copham led the Dolphins to a 9-9-2 overall record and a 6-4 mark in A-Sun play for a fourth place finish - the highest finish since 2002.
After a slow start, JU got a key 1-0 win over regular season champion Mercer and had three consecutive shutout victories from Oct. 12-24. The Dolphins also downed A-Sun and cross-town rival North Florida, 1-0, in the regular season finale on Oct. 30. JU finished the schedule winning four of its last five matches, which was their best streak since the 1998 season.
The Dolphins opened the A-Sun Tournament by advancing past ETSU, 5-4, in penalty kicks to reach the second round. The Bears got revenge from their regular-season loss with a 2-0 victory in the semifinals to end JU's season.
Senior Keri Zwikker led the Dolphins in scoring for the fourth consecutive season en route to earning first team all-conference accolades, while newcomer Jessica Hurtado posted three goals and five assists to be named to the all-freshman team. Hurtado also had the decisive penalty kick to advance JU past ETSU in the A-Sun Tournament, which earned her all-tournament accolades.
Copham was also responsible for the emergence of sophomore forward Jelena Vrcelj and freshman goalie Alexa Rooney. Vrcelj tied first on the team in goals with nine, including scoring seven of those in A-Sun play. Rooney recorded 104 saves and seven shutout wins in her first season between the nets for JU.
The Dolphins performed just as well in the classroom, recording 11 A-Sun All-Academic honors. Seven players from the all-academic lists also received Dean's List accolades, while the three remaining players were named to the President's Honor Roll (4.0 GPA). Zwikker, one of the seven Dean's List's honorees, earned third team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honors to round out the JU accolades in the classroom.
Prior to JU, Copham served as an assistant coach at Samford University for eight years, including the final six as the top assistant under head coach Todd Yelton. His duties included on-field coaching, heading up the recruiting efforts and overseeing Samford's annual youth camps.
While with the Bulldogs, Copham helped lead the squad to four consecutive Ohio Valley Conference regular-season championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the second round in 2005.
In 2007, the Bulldogs posted a 15-5-1 overall record and an 8-1 mark in the OVC en route to earning a 2007 NCAA Tournament bid despite losing six players to season-ending injuries. The Bulldogs nearly pulled off an upset in the first round against SEC power LSU, but eventually fell in double overtime, 1-0.
Samford also set a new school record in goals with 43, breaking the previous mark of 38 set in 2000 during Copham's first season, and had eight players earn All-OVC team accolades.
As recruiting coordinator, Copham was instrumental in the Bulldogs' landing five consecutive top-20 classes in the South region according to Soccer Buzz magazine. Four of the last five classes were ranked nationally, including the 2007 class that was 68th in the country.
Samford's 2007 senior class, recruited in 2002, left as the winningest group in school history with a 51-20-9 overall record, including three OVC regular-season titles, an OVC Tournament Championship and two NCAA tournament appearances.
Academically, Samford also excelled in the classroom under Copham. In 2006, the Bulldogs had 18 players named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll and 16 players earned the honor in 2005.
As a player, Copham competed three years for top-25 ranked UAB and took home the Coaches' Award in 1998. Following his athletic eligibility at UAB, Copham was on staff for the Blazers' run to the NCAA Elite Eight in 1999. He was also a success in the classroom by earning numerous academic awards, including being named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll several times.
Copham continued his playing career with the Birmingham semi-professional soccer team, the Alabama Saints. Over the years, Copham also has coached the Vestavia Hills Soccer Club in the Birmingham area.
Along with his collegiate coaching duties, Copham was on the Alabama Olympic Development Program staff from 2000-08 and now works on the Florida ODP staff. He has earned his USSF "A" license, along with the NSCAA Goalkeeper 1 license.
Copham, who was born in Seminole, Fla., graduated from UAB with a degree in civil and environmental engineering in 1999 and completed his masters in civil engineering in 2004.

Apps: Assassin's Creed Pirates 1.1, GoodReader 3.20, INKredible + Kindle 4.1
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Pirates ($5) has added Nassau as a new location in version 1.1.0. Nassau features 10 new secondary missions, 12 new treasures, 3 new ships to unlock, and a new pirate, Charles Vane. Vane is notably featured in a new campaign mission. New defense gameplay has been added, as well.
GoodReader for iPad ($5), the PDF reader from Good.iWare, has upgraded to version 3.20.0. A new user interface and full iOS 7 compatibility await users. The app now features faster PDF rendering, a new audio player, and a number of other new options that make for a better, easier user experience.
INKredible (free) from Viet Tran is an app designed to let users have a great writing experience on iPad. The UI is very minimal — perhaps too minimal—but INKredible does do a very good job of producing a nice facsimile of fountain pen-style handwriting, using a vector-based rendering system for handwriting input. Palm rejection is supported for stylus users, and three different brushes are sold as in-app purchases, including a traditional ballpoint pen, wet brush, and calligraphy pen.
Amazon's Kindle 4.1 (free) has added a new feature for print replica textbooks — flashcards. Students are able to convert terms into flashcard sets for studying. In-book search has also been improved. Readers can also benefit from added page footers, a dictionary redesign, and an update to Kindle's X-Ray feature.

Kroger Co. does not expect the synergies from the merger of Safeway and Albertsons to have much short-term impact once the deal is completed late this year, J. Michael Schlotman, Kroger CFO, told an investor audience Tuesday.
"There are a lot of things that happen in the [next] year that will help everybody understand exactly what the landscape is going to wind up being like," he told the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Consumer and Retailer Conference in New York.
Follow @SN_News for updates throughout the day.
"Sure, it will generate a lot of synergies, but there's going to be a fair amount of interest expense to cover, so it remains to be seen how much net synergy dollars they have left to invest in competitive activities versus giving a return to the equity investors, along with the debt load they will carry, plus interest on the debt."
In other comments:
• Schlotman said adjusting shelf allocations to meet changing consumer needs often requires cooperation from teams in different departments of the store.
"In our produce departments, for example, we've determined the best way to run them is to actually have a little bit less produce on the floor, even when sales are strong, and to bring it up from the back cooler more regularly because it stays fresher in the back room. That winds up freeing up some refrigerated space in the produce department, and some stores are moving orange juice out of the dairy section into the produce section, which frees up incremental space for a category like yogurt, where we are under-allocated.
"Now one of the battles you encounter in moving orange juice, a grocery item, into produce, which has its own fresh-squeezed orange juice, is that you get people in a little bit of a turf war because the produce guy doesn't want to give up space to the grocery guy. But when you explain that they have Kroger stock options, not produce stock options or grocery stock options, they get it pretty quickly. So when everybody steps back, everybody realizes what's good for the customer is good for us overall."
• Although the economic downturn has reduced the basket size on each trip, Schlotman said the fact people shop more frequently means they end up spending more per month.
"Through our loyalty card program, we know our households are spending more with us on a monthly basis even though each trip is a little bit smaller. We probably would have done some silly things trying to reverse a trend that really wasn't a trend that needed reversing because it was just a shift in shopping habits.
"Instead of doing a stock-up trip and putting things in the freezer, customers are stopping in for a couple or three days' worth of fresh product, keeping it in the refrigerator and then using it closer to the purchase date.
• Dunnhumby is in the background of all decisions, Schlotman said. "They help us understand what the customer wants, whether it's a pricing initiative in a certain part of the store or when we're trying to upgrade our message with a few new pricing offerings as well. Dunnhumby helps us understand to what depth and breadth we need to make price investments and what price points drive the most optimal customer penetration in a category.
"You can go too low on some categories and you wind up investing in price that really doesn't drive incremental operating profit dollars. Dunnhumby really helps us optimize every one of the programs."

Fresh off her breakup with Owen, Kate has been easing the pain by spending some time in Paris - with billionaire Ron Burkle. Now, we don't want to start speculating just yet, so we thought we'd start off just by asking your opinion. So what do you think is going on between Ron and Kate?

Marketing messages are a lot more effective when they're targeted. That's a given. But customizing the message is tricky when you're updating a social media feed. Say your company is going on a road trip across the US. Do you want to stack up 12 posts, one for each city on your company LinkedIn feed? LinkedIn has a better idea.
What this tool allows you to do is create custom content and make it visible only to a specific group of people. This way you can personalize and test content without clogging up your public facing feed.
Previously, if you wanted to pay to promote your 12 city tour, you'd have to create 12 pieces of content, each with specific city information, then push each one out as sponsored content using location targeting. Anyone who visits the company page would see all 12 posts stacked up.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the midst of one of the most severe droughts in decades, the House has yet to call the federal farm bill for a vote.
Sen. Dick Durbin says he has been told representatives believe they cannot pass the farm bill.
The five year plan expires Sept. 30th.
Durbin says never before in modern times has a farm bill been so blocked.
He says farmers need this help now and that they cannot wait until after November's election.
"We can provide low interest loans for farmers to help them get through the tough time. We can say to those raising livestock, you can graze them on CRP land, as we call it. That will help out some," said Durbin.
"One of the things we can do that will really help is pass this farm bill. It passed the senate with a bi-partisan vote, the house, I hope will take it up before they leave."
This week, the Agriculture Department said that 55 percent of the nation's pasture and range land was now in poor to very poor condition.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A bid to let a Grosse Tete truck stop owner keep a tiger onsite has squeaked through the Louisiana Senate on its second try.
Senators voted 20-18 Tuesday for the measure by Port Allen Sen. Rick Ward, a Republican who argued the tiger lives comfortably.
Ward's bill would exempt Michael Sandlin, an owner of a truck stop in Ward's district, from state restrictions on owning exotic cats. Sandlin, who owns a 550-pound Bengal tiger named Tony, lost his license to keep Tony and a lawsuit to get the tiger back.
New Orleans Sen. J.P. Morrell, a Democrat, opposed the measure, saying it was improper to change a law to overrule a court decision.
The bill moves to the House for consideration.
AUG 29 Everyone who cares about Louisiana should take time to peruse this story about coastal loss from Bob Marshall of The Lens. It's not enough to call it a story; it's an interactive experience packed with data and amazing graphics, timelines, history, photos and excellent writing. Set aside some time, because you can't go through this one in a few minutes.
JUN 29 This bizarre story from the Advocate on the shooting of a Baton Rouge television personality reads like the script of a soap opera - but not a good one. The allegations against him include sexual abuse of children, including the alleged shooter, and a sham immigration marriage involving his own daughter. The other side? He was a chaplin for the Sheriff's Office in Baton Rouge and preached in a local church.
AUG 29 Here's a story from CBS News about a killer amoeba found in the water system of St. John the Baptist Parish. The story made all three networks (CBS, ABC, NBC) as well as Fox "News," although they have not yet found out how it is Obama's fault. Seriously, the good news is that so far officials know of no one sickened by the water.
AUG 29 Huffington Post has a blog called Love Letters, which is grandly described as "an anthology of reflections on places the world over." This entry is from LSU Football Coach Les Miles, who, it appears, loves Baton Rouge. (Of course he does; he's a rich straight white man.) And certainly Baton Rouge loves him - unless he loses (ask Curley "Golden Flake" Hallman about that) or leaves (ask Nick Saban).
AUG 29 Blogger Bob Mann comments here upon Governor Bobby Jindal's federal lawsuit about Common Core. Mann calls it a "thinly veiled campaign document" and that might be the nicest thing he says in this post. Most troubling for Jindal and his aspirations, Mann has unearthed what Bobby said just a few years ago when he first decided to shove Common Core down our throats.
AUG 29 Blogger Tom Aswell has several developments here related to the so-called Edmonson amendment. The most entertaining one is possibly Tom's acknowledgement that a State Police official is (allegedly) calling the bloggers covering the story some colorful names. Listen up, cowboy: You really think two veterans like Tom Aswell and CB Forgotston care if you call them idiots?
AUG 29 Gotta love those journalists who write something with the enthusiasm that implies they're the first one to figure something out. Mostly, they're not. This is one of those times; the post on Slate Magazine says that Bobby Jindal's Common Core lawsuit is a political stunt. Well - Duh.
AUG 29 This story by WVLA tells us about a guy who got busted for speeding in Baton Rouge. Who cares? This guy took that infraction to new heights by going 129 miles per hour on Nicholson Drive. Poor fella - he probably has spent so much time sitting in Baton Rouge traffic he just had to cut lose.
AUG 28 As the controversy surrounding the Office of Group Benefits intensifies, blogger Tom Aswell gives us some background on the current problems. The OGB, which handles health insurance for current and retired state employees, is deep in the red since it was privatized by Jindal, and Aswell gives us the skinny: this great plan was designed by ALEC. The company handling it? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana - a longtime member of ALEC.
AUG 28 Blogger CB Forgotston has a concept for a new reality show: the wives of the "Dork Dynasty." That's the name that some troopers have given to State Police Commander Mike Edmonson and his inner circle. The ladies CB has picked for his cast are not just housewives, however, and the connections here are pretty interesting.
AUG 28 Blogger Ian McGibboney is writing about the strife in Ferguson in this post, and articulating what many people down south are saying. There's a fairy tale about how there's tons of racism in the South, but it's all hunky dory up North. (Really? Look again.)

Creating Balance and Joy!!
Are you living the healthy, happy lifestyle you want and deserve? Through nutritional counseling, health coaching sessions, and yoga, I help my clients find balance and well-being through nourishing their bodies and hearts. My mission is to assist others to connect to their authentic selves in order to open the pathway to create more happiness, joy and balance in their lives.
We all have the knowledge and inspiration within ourselves to move towards joy, well-being, peace and health. What we need is to take the time to nuture and nourish ourselves body, mind and spirit.
Due to our hectic lifestyles, many of us today are feeling disconnected from the very thing that is meant to nourish us. Malnourishment of the body and heart on different levels is common and causes harm not only to ourselves but to others. We hunger to be nourished through a deeper relationship with ourselves, our world, our bodies and others, and we reach out for inspiration and guidance as we seek to find joy and happiness.
Nourishment is more than just the food we choose to eat. Sometimes cravings for certain foods, binge eating, poor self-image, and overeating, can be linked to a type of emptiness inside.
So how can we be mindful and inspired to nourish ourselves, body and heart? Being conscious of why and how we eat, as well as our food choices, is a way to change our relationship with food, creating harmony within ourselves. With our choices, we create our lives.
I look forward to working with you as you move toward well being in body, mind, and spirit!

As we look forward to the next Monster Ski in March 2015, Sarah Burgess who took part in this year's ski challenge in Chamonix tells us what it was like to be part of this unique fundraising event.
As soon as I heard about Monster Ski I knew I wanted to take part! I am an avid skier, and the challenge of skiing the equivalent vertical descent of Mount Everest for three days in a row sounded just awesome! A little daunting, perhaps, but surely the chance of a lifetime. The MS Trust is a charity close to my heart – my husband was diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS about six years ago – so I didn't hesitate to sign up!
The first challenge
The first part of the challenge was the fundraising, although it was actually a lot easier than I expected. I found it helped to break it down into smaller chunks, that way it didn't seem so daunting. I did all the obvious things first – set up my fundraising page with Virgin Money Giving (which was actually really simple), then set about emailing all my friends, family and colleagues, linking in with my Facebook account, and generally badgering people!
Then I planned a series of fundraising events. We held a party on bonfire night, sold Christmas cards, did a collection in the local pub and made cakes. The single most successful event for me was a pub quiz – in addition to the funds raised through selling tickets, we held a raffle on the night and ended up raising over £500. Plus it was great fun! As long as you give yourself plenty of time, and plan events that you (and your friends) enjoy, it is surprisingly achievable.
Excitement kicked in
I have to admit to being a little apprehensive when I first arrived at Heathrow Airport, not knowing anyone or what to expect, but as soon as we all started arriving, swapping stories and getting to know each other, any trepidation rapidly vanished and excitement kicked in!
We were very well looked after the entire time. On arrival in Geneva we were met and quickly transferred to our hotel in Chamonix, which couldn't have been better placed, right in the centre of town. I found myself sharing a room with another solo female participant, and we were both ecstatic to walk out onto our balcony and see the most amazing view of Mont Blanc!
The group comprised a complete mixture of people, some travelling together, some alone, many with personal links to MS (including one amazing guy who has MS himself and completed the entire challenge – probably skiing quicker than anyone else in the group). Despite the various different backgrounds, the group gelled incredibly well and many new friendships were made.
We skied from first lift to last
The three days of skiing were full-on and exhausting – certainly a challenge, and one which wasn't made any easier by the slushy spring snow conditions. We split into two groups with Beatrice and Fred, our lovely ESF guides, and they monitored our progress to ensure we all covered the required vertical distance. Lunch and loo stops were speedy, and we literally skied from first to last lift each of the three days!
Other than one minor injury (a slight altercation with a snowboarder!), we all survived intact, and on the last evening were presented with our 'awards'!
The trip was jam-packed from start to finish, with no time for Glühwein stops or sunbathing! Having said that though, the camaraderie was excellent and everyone returned home feeling accomplished and proud of our achievements. Some people added on a few days at the end, for a more leisurely experience of the Chamonix slopes – certainly a good idea if time permits, particularly if it is your only ski trip of the season.
I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a ski trip with a difference – pushing yourself to the limit on the slopes, whilst at the same time raising money for a great cause – what could be better?!
The MS Trust is now taking bookings for the next Monster Ski event, which will take place back in Chamonix from 13-17 March 2015. You can register before 8 September at the earlybird rate of just £99, then after that for £150. Find out more about Monster Ski and book your place

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gen Y: If you're unhappy and you know it...
Just look at the generations before you
People often make suggestions about what I should write.
So it was this week that a young Red River College journalism grad -- who is off to Toronto and an intern position at Vice, an avant-garde multimedia organization -- offered this suggestion prior to her departure today.
"Why don't you write about happiness?" said 23-year-old Kristy Hoffman.
What, I thought to myself, could I possibly impart to anyone about happiness? It was only a few days later I understood why Kristy might have asked the question.
She, like nearly a million others as of Friday, had seen a posting on Huff Post College that sought to explain why members of generation Y -- people in their late teens to mid-30s -- are fundamentally unhappy.
That article was preceded days earlier by a Maclean's cover story titled The Broken Generation... Why our best and brightest are so troubled. It detailed a sense of hopelessness and depression among students on Canadian campuses.
That trend seems tied to rising tuition fees, plummeting job opportunities and the weight of debt that brief contract positions and unpaid internships can't begin to service.
But the Huff Post piece suggests there is something more fundamental involved in this wave of sadness that extends to even well-paid, young urban professionals.
The story -- titled Why Generation Y Yuppies are Unhappy -- begins by offering a simple formula for what makes someone happy or unhappy.
"It's pretty straightforward -- when the reality of someone's life is better than they expected, they're happy. When reality turns out to be worse than the expectations, they're unhappy."
The point being that gen Y members have unrealistic expectations for their lives and careers, hence their unhappiness.
But, of course, they're not entirely to blame for being delusional, as the article brands them. They are, after all, the sons and daughters of what I call the Privileged Generation, boomers like me, who -- unlike their own Great Depression-era parents -- grew up with limitless expectations in a time of limitless possibilities. We boomers would pass on to our children those same prospects of a prosperous future, but often without the work ethic and need to pay their dues that go with success.
Which explains why gen Y's has become known as the Entitled Generation. They want what their parents have, and they want it now.
But the Huff Post story argues the children of boomers were taught to believe that not only would they go on to have fulfilling careers, but also that, "I am unusually wonderful and as such, my career and life path will stand out amongst the crowd."
By way of backing up that hypothesis, the blog quotes University of New Hampshire Prof. Paul Harvey, whose research has shown Gen Y has "unrealistic expectations" and "an inflated view of oneself." And that "a great source of frustration for people with a strong sense of entitlement is unmet expectations."
Which, again, looking back at the simple formula for unhappiness versus happiness, explains why so many of Gen Y apparently are unhappy.
But indulgent parents, I would argue, aren't the sole source of Gen Y's generalized narcissism. The unreality of reality TV and the onset of social media where everyone can be famous -- even if it's only in their own minds -- has contributed.
Of course, it's unfair to brand, stereotype, or diagnose an entire generation. There are lots who want to work hard and want to make a difference in the world. Or just make a difference with their family.
Kristy Hoffman -- the young woman who asked me to write about happiness -- never felt entitled. Her hard work and talent is what got her the opportunity in Toronto.
As a parent and a member of the Privileged Generation, I empathize with the reality of Gen Y's world, where there are fewer good jobs, even fewer careers for life. And where, often, just to get by, they have to work long hours for low pay. But they will survive and find happiness in their own way.
After all, they are the grandsons and the granddaughters of the Greatest Generation. People who had far less, but had much more.

Day Ten Tasks
My schedule is a bit off so this will be tomorrow's activities.
Analysis Day
This is the day we read and interpret what we've written. Up to this day we have been "taking inventory." Now we need to make some decisions; take some action. For the next ten days, we need to follow our routine, with discipine, integrity, and commitment.
1. Take a bath or shower. Wear cologne, perfume, deodorant, floss and brush your teeth. Shave. Do nails, eyebrows, ears.
Hopefully, you are getting comfortable looking at yourself in the mirror. The rolls and wrinkles and other perceived imperfections shouldn't be surprises to you anymore. If someone said, "close your eyes and imagine yourself naked," you should have a very realistic picture of what you look like. That's you in that mirror. All of you. For better or worse, but it has to be good because it's you. You're not hiding from yourself under towels or clothing. Getting comfortable looking at yourself is the first step to accepting yourself. Next comes any decisions you might want to make, realistic decisions, about changes you want to make.
2. Bed made. Sheets washed. You deserve clean bedding.
Check your M-F list and do today's assignment. You now have a way to clean your house and keep it clean in way that is not overwhelming. You have ordered control of your physical surroundings. Even if it isn't always clean, you know that it will be, as per your schedule. You don't have to apologize to yourself for "not doing enough" today.
3. No chart today. Instead, take that time, at work if you can, to review your lists of unproductive activities and productive activities. Compute the amount of time that you have wasted during the last week.
Based upon what you see, plan to avoid the people, places, and situations that draw you into wasting time. Based upon your list of work activities that you enjoy, make a list of ways that you can pursue these kind of activities. Again, write it down. Recorded lists are footprints you can follow. No lists, you can't get things done, you'll forget or be diverted by the fires at work that you will have to put out.
4. Review your photos. Print copies of the nice ones and give to the people in the photos. Print a copy for yourself. Label and date.
We never take enough photos. Look how much pleasure you get by looking at photos from your past. You have now developed a habit of documenting your life and memories. If you continue, years from now, you will have more than just Christmas and graduation photos; instead you'll have photographic memories of what your REAL life was like and the people that you really interacted with on a daily basis.
5. Friend List
Check your M-F list and do today's assignment. Friends are essential to your understanding yourself. They provide wonderful mirrors; outlets for entertainments to plan and look forward to. This simple task of connection will strength bonds and encourage activities.
6. Continue the thank you notes as needed. You should now have trained yourself to find ways to thank people. You are hopefully now unconsciously watching for things people do that are worth recognizing.
Continue to print copies and put in a folder.
7. Your list of people's names now should be long. And you should be calling everyone on that list by their name everytime you look them in the eyes to talk with them.
You exude confidence when you look people in the eyes. People enjoy being called by name. It tells them that you care about them. People need to be noticed. They will seek you out and give you back the same kind of courtesy and affection that you are now offering them.
8. You have lists of the things you like about your living space and what you don't like.
We now need to make lists to address changing what we don't like in ways consistent with what we do like. We have the tools now to plan. We know what we want to change; we can now make a schedule to change it. Hopefully very soon, you won't have a list of the things you don't like about your physical environment.
9. You have receipts for your ten days of spending. You have a realistic basis for planning a budget.
10. You have lists of people you don't enjoy being around; and you are finding out information about these people because you are looking for ways to humanize them to you.
You are looking for things to like about them. They are in your life. They will be in your life. You can choose to waste emotion and energy by continuing to dislike them or you can choose to inspire friendship and energy by liking them. They will not change toward you. They are incapable. You can change toward them... not for their sake; for your sake.
11. Put $1.25 in cash in a glass on your bedstand.
You have $12.50 so far. Leave it there.
Weekend was good, easy and stress-free. Got some Christmas shopping done and a little bit of decorating. Not much newsworthy, but I'll take it. Food had been good, but Sunday afternoon/evening I ate junk and too much of it. Not a binge, but I could have made better choices and I did not.
Review of Day Nine.
The real big thing I'm noticing is that I am more conscious of making more and better eye contact. It makes for more and better connections. The word connections keeps popping up or I keep noticing it more throughout this exercise. Making new connections, making connections in new ways, enhancing existing connections, etc. Making connections is a top contender as my intention for 2011.
Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Connect.

I tried the eye contact thing....ReplyDelete
Much to my surprise, I couldn't do it!
I need some practice, I guess!
Interesting to see all of the payoffs as a result of your daily actions...I'm still curious as to where the daily $1.25 is going.ReplyDelete
A lot of these tasks I was taught to do while growing up but they are good reminders:)ReplyDelete
I was thinking I need to take more pictures my life these last many years is very undocumented in pictures.
It is hard to stay on task with healthy eating and living this time of year at least I know I am struggling with it.
I'm wondering if the dailyg $1.25 is to show how easy it is to save $25 if you just do it a little at a time...ReplyDelete
Interesting stuff Roxie.
