I am loving this time off. Yesterday I got so much done around the house! My family is coming up to visit today - my aunt and uncle haven't seen our house yet, and my mom hasn't been up for a while. I love showing people our house - I'm so proud that we own a home.
I got in some good swimming yesterday - 60 laps toward my 5-week goal of 204. (the triathlon challenge at the gym.) This morning I'm going for a little run - checking out the local 5K course and taking advantage of this beautiful weather. I also bought myself a new pair of running shorts - I'm so excited - they are the short running shorts, the ones that I ever only dreamed of wearing. But I put them on this morning and I saw some muscles in my legs. Yippee!
One goal for April is to track my food 5x a week. I know it's only April 3rd, but I've done well with tracking so far. I like to feel in control of my food choices, and it's helping me to see where I was getting a little off-track. One of those off-track areas of eating for me was peanut butter. A little bit of PB is not going to kill me, but I discovered that I was eating 2-3 tablespoons a day. I started using it instead of butter on my morning muffin; when I saw how many calories and fat grams it was adding to my day, I decided it wasn't worth it. besides, without the PB on my muffin I can taste my expensive fruit compote much better.
I have decided to change my weight tracker to show my actual weight, not just how much I want to lose. This is a big step - I was always so self conscious about my weight. I'm finally starting to feel comfortable with where I am. I'm happy with my size (4-6), and my body fat % is in the healthy range - it's 27.2% (I can't believe I just posted that!) and I'm working on getting it even lower. My weight is at the high range of the BMI range for "healthy," but I feel strong and fit. I am hoping that posting this will make me feel even *more* comfortable with my numbers and maybe I can encourage someone else by showing them that the high end of the BMI scale is ok and different weights look different on everyone.
Anyway, off to finish my water and head out for a run. The sun is out, I'm feeling good!
So today I "slept in" a little later - 6:00. I woke up without the alarm. Huh.
I love having this time to get stuff done around the house that needs attention. And because I have so much time, it's better for me to just *do* the stuff when I think of it rather than making a list. So it's been a productive two days so far.
Yesterday I went to work out with my trainer. It was so wonderful. My arms and shoulders are so sore, but in a really good way. A little bit later I'm going for an easy little swim. My trainer signed me up for a triathlon challenge - in five weeks there are certain mileages of swimming, running, and biking that I have to complete. It's the first time that I've entered a challenge at the gym! I like having this little challenge as a goal. Like today, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go swimming, but I need to in order to get the laps in. It's going to be fun to see how hard I can push myself.
I got my body fat % and measurements done yesterday as well. My body fat % went down almost 1% since last month. Wahoo! So even though I gained a pound on the scale (with some thanks to a bottle of wine and giant steak the night before my weigh-in), I lost some fat. Yippee! My trainer said to me "well lets concentrate on the body fat since you don't have much extra weight." She said it very naturally, but I was freaking out. Nobody has ever said to me "you don't have that much extra weight." EEEEEK! So excited. I have three more sessions left with my trainer from the March special deal. I am considering signing up for more sessions. I really feel like this is the push I need to get me to the next level of fitness... the problem is, training is expensive. *I* think it's worth it, but I'm a little nervous to bring it up to honey.
Being fit is such a big part of my life now that I feel like working with a trainer is a good thing. She pushes me harder than I ever thought I could handle and I am beginning to see changes in my body that I never thought I'd see (muscle definition, ability to do push-ups...). Later today I am really going to sit down with my finances and see if buying more trainer sessions is do-able. There are some things I'll really have to think about...
For example, my hair. If I go back to having it super-short, I go once a month to have it shaped up, and it's over $50. Because I'm trying to grow it out now, I go once every two months or so to have it shaped. Only $25 a month instead of $50. If I keep letting it grow out, I can save even more - maybe go once every three months when it starts getting a little longer. Can I suck up the mullet for a little while until it grows out? Is the money I save here worth spending on a trainer instead?
I belong to a coffee club. Every 4 weeks I get coffee sent to me. I like it because the coffee company is environmentally friendly, it's fair trade coffee, and it's fun to choose the kind of coffee I want every month. But the grocery store carries the same coffee, although much fewer flavors. Can I sacrifice the variety of coffee to save on shipping costs and use this money for the trainer?
If I really look at my spending, I'm sure I can cut back in some places during the month to come up with the money for the trainer instead. In six weeks, I'm getting re-measured to see my progress. If I see significant changes in my body composition and my fitness levels, I will know that the trainer is definitely worth it. So I guess I have six weeks to come up with a plan for how I'm going to pay for the trainer.
Phew, this is a lot to think about for a break!
I am off to take apart our dining table and move it to the garage. My family is coming up tomorrow for Easter and to deliver a new (well, new to us) dining table and chairs. The best part about it is that the table is free. My mom bought it for my brother's house, but since he is selling the house and moved back home, we get the table here now. Wahoo! Nothing like a free set of furniture. More money for the trainer!
Time to get to work!
Best part of today - my neighbor called me "buff."
Because they just had a 31 day March!
A little music teacher humor for you.
Day 1 of Spring break. At 8:00 I am going to the trainer. I can't wait! I thought I'd sleep in today, but I woke up at 5:30 with no alarm. Guess my body is really getting used to my schedule!
This afternoon I want to review my March goals, re-assess my caloric intake, and finalize some April goals. There are three goals for April that I am committed to:
1) Go into school early 2-3x a week to work on school work
2) Drink at least 4 Siggs of water every day
3) Track food 5 days a week
The tracking is going to be really important. I didn't track in March, and I think I forgot how high in calories my lunches were. Not that I mind having a high-calorie lunch, I just don't think I was accounting for it, therefore eating pretty many more calories than I thought.
Fitness goals I'm considering:
1) Be able to do 10 "man" push-ups in a row. I'm up to 5 or 6 right now, so I think this is totally do-able.
2) Run three times a week. This one should be no problem - I run with two different groups, one on Monday nights and one on Saturday morning (starting the 17th). Thursday nights are going to be running with my gym buddy.
3) Try some new classes at the gym. In April, the gym is having some professional dancers come in to teach classes. there is so much dance! I'm not very coordinated, so this will definitely take me out of my comfort zone. But the classes sound super fun - Broadway dance (with a former Rockette!), African dance, Hip Hop...
Number goals:
1) Get my body fat % down. I want to talk to my trainer today to see what is a reachable goal for this month. I will do a little research this weekend to find out how I can tweak my diet to make my fat loss and muscle building more efficient. I want those arms!!!
2) Size 4. I have some clothes in a 4 that are fitting already, but I'd like to be a more solid size 4.
I guess that's all for now... I wanted to start out April on the right track, posting my goals and thinking ahead.
I am so inspired by everyone's April goals and all the successes! This is such a wonderful journey we are taking. I look forward to April with my Spark Friends!
It's like a Friday for me - Spring break starts tomorrow. Yahoo!
I'm looking forward to nice weather, planting flowers, washing windows, and wearing some skirts (the weather is supposed to be nice). I'm going to stock up on some decaf coffee and some bubbly so I can enjoy the evenings out on the deck.
I am a fanatic about checking my bank account (I think it comes from working in a bank and seeing what weird things can happen with your money if you're not careful), and yesterday when I checked it, I saw some weird transaction from PayPal. But the point of typing this is show how one goal "take one thing at a time" is helping me in everything. I took the steps to resolve the problem one at a time. Call the bank, wait to see if it posted, cancel my card # and get a new one... all one thing at a time. And it worked! I remained calm, didn't freak out about the things I couldn't do anything about, and this morning I saw that the money was credited back to my account. I'm glad I got a new card, though... it was time for a new number, anyway.
I didn't pack my lunch for today, but I am going to make some hot cereal to see how well (or not well) it travels and heats up for lunch. It will be a nice break from my typical salad lunch. Honey has off of work tonight (yay!) so he's doing the cooking. I think creme brulee is dessert tonight - spicy chocolate creme brulee. MMM.
This afternoon - haircut after school (I LOVE getting my hair cut), and then to the gym for a run. I wasn't planning on taking my stuff with me today, but I will have a better chance of making it to the gym if I take my running stuff to school and head right up to the gym after my cut.
Today I will:
Drink at least 4 Siggs of water
Take one thing at a time
Clean up my clothing
Last night was my first night of First Strides, a running program designed for beginner to intermediate runners. One of the guys at the local running store seemed to think that I was beyond this (wahoo!), but I decided to sign up anyway. Last summer I seriously over-trained and did a nasty number on my IT band, and I thought a beginning running program would help me ease back into running outside. Since fall I have been visiting the chiropractor/movement doc to do some physical therapy. I have also been confined to the treadmill - doc wanted me to stay on an even surface for a while.
I was super excited to get out - I hadn't run outside since early fall! And while I knew I had been healing myself and working hard to strengthen the muscles in my legs, I still felt nervous. "What if my IT band goes crazy? What if it hurts again? What if all this carefulness was for nothing?"
There were LOTS of ladies at the meeting spot. Runners and walkers of all shapes and sizes. I was so excited to see that so many people wanted to run. It's a nice feeling to be among like-minded people. My gym buddy signed up for the program, too, so we hung out for a while before the program started.
When everyone was there, we did a little warm up - some easy squats and light stretching to get the body moving. I followed along, did my squats with a little more movement and my stretches VERY lightly. The whistle blew, and we started with a 5 minute warm up. We walked around a really nice path - by the middle school, on some grass...
The plan was 4 minutes of easy, 2 of hard. At first I thought "well I can do an easy run for my easy." But then my brain took over and it said "but wait, this is the first time you're running outside in a while; the first time you're running on an uneven surface in a while. Take the 'easy' as a walk, and run during the 'hard' parts." So that's what I did. I stuck to walking, but when the next whistle blew, I started to run. And it was MARVELOUS. My legs felt good, my new shoes felt good, my lungs felt good...
When we went back to easy, no knee pain! I made it through the two minutes without my knee freaking out. I continued to walk/run, and I think it was a smart decision on my part. There are going to be plenty of opportunities for me to run this spring and summer - I don't want to ruin it now by trying to be Superman.
My gym buddy and I worked out a nice schedule to get all of our weekly runs in - we are going to go running after school on Thursdays, and on Saturday mornings. She was worried that she would "hold me back," but I told her that I was more than happy to run with her. It's kind of my way of paying back the help I got from runners when I was starting out.
It's very exciting to think about how adding outside runs again is going to affect my goals. There were some hills last night, and today I feel them in my glutes and calves. I can't wait to see if this new addition to my workout pushes my weight-loss along a little quicker than it's been going. How is my body going to respond to this? I'm excited to find out!
Last night I planned all my meals for today and packed my lunch. I'm going into school a little early to get some stuff done, which is one of my goals for April.
Yesterday's goals:
Drink water - YES. LOTS.
Eating plan - YES. It felt good to be in control. And I actually changed it a little bit and ate less for dinner than I had planned. I didn't want to eat too much before bed, and I really wasn't that hungry. Stayed well within my calorie range and met nutrition goals.
Compliment - YES
Take one thing at a time - YES. I have been way more productive because I am learning to do one thing at a time and finish it.
Drink at least 4 Siggs of water
Plan tomorrow's meals and pack lunch
Give someone a compliment
T-minus 2 days until Spring Break!!!

Mean Dead Guy App Says You Don't Write Well
The new Hemingway App site yells at you for using long words, adverbs, long sentences, complex structures, and passive voice. I ran a post I wrote about "The Real World" through it, because I always thought ol' Ernie would really enjoy gabbing at length about a show that is seriously not even good, and here's what I got:
7 of 44 sentences are hard to read.
16 of 44 sentences are very hard to read.
14 adverbs. Aim for 3 or less.
11 words or phrases can be simpler.
11 uses of passive voice. Aim for 9 or less.
It's kind of a dickish website but, like, so was Hemingway.

Personally, I'd like to see an Orwell app, which (if based on "Politics and the English Language") would be supremely intolerant of The Way We Write Now.
44 of 44 sentences were about The Real World. Aim for a gazelle or large carnivore.
Hemingway was a website?? That would actually explain a lot.
"14 adverbs. Aim for 3 or less.

A little about me...
Christ is the most important relationship in my life, followed by my family of origin and my family of faith. I have lived with partial paralysis since age 12 which has not prevented me from achieving a masters degree, having 3 children, working my entire adult life, traveling, etc. I wear a brace on my left ankle, I walk with a crutch, I use a walker in the house, and I will cheer for long-distance. I enjoy life wherever I am and whatever I'm doing. I have a sense of humor and don't take myself too seriously. I can find the humor in most any situation. I'm a pretty affectionate person. Touch communicates things in a way words cannot.I love being outside enjoying the unbelievable beauty in nature. When traveling, I prefer "nature"destinations like mountains, lakes, etc to amusement parks. I want for nothing in life and am lavishly blessed. I continually accomplish the goals in my life and continue to refine them. I'm not looking to date to find out what I want in any future relationship. I already know.
About the one I'm looking for...
I'm looking for someone who loves the Lord more than anyone, goes to church regularly, involved in serving in some way. He needs to have integrity, be financially responsible, positive, and fun. He must also be a non-smoker. And fun! Life has too much fun to offer not to take advantage of it.I am a very social person, so he must enjoy getting together with friends and family. He love my family as I would love his.
I'd just like to add...
Saw a quote that I thought was Great. "The good thing about being over 40 is that we did most of our stupid stuff before the Internet." Thank goodness there is no record of mine!

His dedication to scholarship and service began in 1965 with his editorship of New York University's Heights Daily News. An academic star from the beginning, Reisch achieved distinction for his scholastic performance at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels.
A former Woodrow Wilson Fellow and Fulbright Senior Scholar, Reisch has authored or edited more than 25 books and monographs and published more than 100 articles and book chapters. He also has presented more than 300 papers at state, national, and international conferences including presentations on the history and philosophy of social welfare; the effect of globalization on the future of the welfare state; the relationship of social justice and multiculturalism to social policy and social work practice; radical social work; community organization theory and practice; the nonprofit sector; and contemporary policy issues, particularly welfare reform. His work is so valued internationally that it has been translated into Bulgarian, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish, and he has lectured widely in Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America.
Reisch is the Daniel Thursz Distinguished Professor of Social Justice at the University of Maryland and one of the most respected social work educators in the United States. He has held faculty and administrative positions at the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, San Francisco State University, and SUNY Stony Brook and was a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley; the New Bulgarian University in Sofia; and, as a Fulbright Senior Scholar, at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. He is well-known for his ability to practically apply the concepts of equality and social justice to social policy and social work practice.
Not only is Dr. Reisch a strong contributor to the social work knowledge base and to social work education, he also has participated in enhancing social policy and practice. He has played leadership roles in national and state advocacy and in professional and social change organizations that focus on the needs of low-income children and families, welfare recipients, and unemployed or homeless persons. He has directed or consulted on political campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels in four states and been honored for his work by numerous local and national nonprofit organizations, professional associations, and universities including the Maryland General Assembly, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and the National Association of Social Workers.
Dr. Reisch's early promise has been fulfilled throughout his career in the form of research grants, a prolific publication record, the integration of his passion for international history and political theory with social work knowledge to bring unique perspectives to students, and his commitment to enhancing the goals of social work education and the profession through his strong record of academic administration and his wide-ranging service engagements in academia and the community.
What is your book about?
Our book is about two psychotherapeutic teaching methods developed at University College London Medical School to help medical students to learn about the doctor patient relationship and the role of emotions in illness. In one method, the UCL Student Psychotherapy Scheme, first year clinical medical students see a carefully selected outpatient, under regular supervision, for once weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy for one year. This scheme has now been operating for over 50 years. In the other method, first year clinical medical students participate in a short term once weekly Student Balint discussion group run by two leaders; in the group sessions they are encouraged to talk about experiences they have had with patients that have stayed in their mind for emotional reasons. Both schemes are extremely popular and are now a curriculum option for students. They have been developed in other medical schools in the UK, and also in Europe, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Why is this teaching important?
This teaching is important because it not only helps medical students to communicate better with their patients, but it also helps them to become more empathic towards these patients. Good communication is an essential part of the doctor patient relationship and this includes a vital emotional component. Although there has been a revolution in the teaching of communication skills in the UK and worldwide, this is mostly based on learning from simulated clinical situations with actors playing the part of patients.
In our method the students learn from a live experience with a patient, which allows for a deeper appreciation of the emotions involved in the doctor patient relationship. Our teaching occurs at a stage in the curriculum when medical students are changing from purely academic learning about preclinical subjects, to seeing illness in real patients and facing death and dying on a regular basis. We know from research that these new experiences easily arouse anxiety and guilt in students, who may also sometimes feel ashamed and humiliated by their teachers. They want to identify with their patients but are afraid of becoming overwhelmed by their emotions. If they see their medical teachers dealing with their own emotions by becoming detached they may try to copy them.
How many students can have this teaching each year?
Our teaching is available for up to 100 students each year out of an annual intake of 380 students. Both schemes are extremely popular and are oversubscribed each year. We would like them to be available to more students but places are limited by the numbers of patients suitable to be seen by students, as well as by the number of senior medical psychotherapists available to supervise on the UCL Student Psychotherapy Scheme and the number of Balint group leaders available.
How does seeing a patient for once weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy help students to learn about the doctor patient relationship?
In doing psychodynamic psychotherapy with a patient, students learn how to listen and how to understand the influence of past events on their patients' lives. This experience is their first experience of looking after a patient for any length of time; in doing this they receive weekly support and guidance from their psychotherapy supervisor. Such an experience allows students to begin to understand the significance of the patient's dependency needs and so to appreciate the importance of continuity of care and to learn how their patients' emotions can affect them as carers.
Is it safe for patients to receive such psychodynamic psychotherapy from a student?
We not only select our students very carefully, but we also select the patients very carefully for this scheme. All the patients have agreed to see a medical student. Each week the students discuss their work with a senior medical psychotherapist, who is also available for emergencies. The patients report that they are helped by this treatment and appreciate the gentle and non-intrusive approach of their student therapists. When they finish they still have the opportunity to receive further psychotherapy.
What exactly is a student Balint group?
Michael Balint was a pioneering doctor and psychoanalyst who started discussion groups for GPs at University College Hospital and the Tavistock clinic to allow these doctors to explore in depth their relationships with patients by freely discussing their experiences with him in a safe and confidential setting. He also started two such long-term discussion groups for clinical medical students at University College Hospital. We modified his approach so as to offer first year clinical students short-term 11 session weekly groups, to accommodate more students each year.
Why are they so helpful to students?
Students are at a stage of transition to clinical medicine and they are now at the bottom of a medical hierarchy of a teaching hospital; much of their teaching is didactic with an emphasis on acquiring vast amounts of factual knowledge. In our groups we encourage them to speak freely about their thoughts and feelings about their first contacts with patients and illness. The groups are non judgemental and supportive and all that is said remains confidential. Students often speak about their conflict between wishing to learn to be clinically competent versus remaining caring towards their patients. In our groups they gradually realise that their listening skills and the time they have to offer their patients are very much valued. They learn to reflect on their experiences and so become more emotionally aware.
Can you say a little about the contents of your book?
Our book contains chapters written by both teachers and ex-students from the two psychotherapeutic teaching schemes. The teachers contributing to the book are either senior medical psychotherapists involved in running the schemes or supervising medical students, or GPs who are Balint leaders. The UCL Student Psychotherapy Scheme and Balint groups are described in detail, including their history, the practicalities in setting up and running these schemes, and the problems that may arise, such as ethical challenges or the issues involved in supervising medical students. A further chapter describes the setting up of another student psychotherapy scheme at Bristol Medical School. In two separate chapters, seven former students write very movingly about the impact of these two learning experiences on their attitudes towards patients and on their subsequent careers. The final chapter by Jessica Yakeley is about the research done so far into these teaching methods: this has shown that participating in the Student Psychotherapy Scheme has a positive influence on career choice in psychiatry and also that participating in either scheme enhances students understanding of the doctor patient relationship. The Foreword is written by Professor Gary Rodin, a leading authority on teaching communication skills in palliative care.
Who is this book aimed at?
Our book is aimed at all those involved in medical education, especially psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists and communication skills teachers, wanting to find new ways of teaching about the doctor patient relationship. It is also aimed at medical students wishing to find ways of improving their understanding of and empathy with their patients. It is also a course book for students participating in a Student Psychotherapy Scheme or a student Balint discussion group.
How does this book compare with other available texts?
So far there has been no recent book about these two schemes which were pioneered at University College London. In 1985 Wolff, Knauss and Brautigam edited a collection of essays about the UCL and Heidelberg Student Psychotherapy Schemes entitled First Steps in Psychotherapy published by Springer-Verlag.

Watch a video of the author talk about Governing Health in Contemporary China here.
The below review of Governing Health in Contemporary China is by Liz Economy for Asia Unbound on the Council on Foreign Relations website.
Trying to wrap one's arms around China today is a significant challenge. It is a global power with a growing economy, rising military, and expanding diplomatic reach. Yet there continues to be a gnawing sense in and outside China that all is not quite right. Whether it is the 180,000 protests annually, the growing flight of capital and people to the West, or the potentially ruinous impact of corruption on the Communist Party's legitimacy, uncertainty about China and its future is much greater than the country's impressive global standing might suggest.
In the face of such uncertainty, what we need most is to understand better—issue by issue—what is happening on the ground in the country; and a terrific new book Governing Health in Contemporary China by my CFR colleague and renowned public health expert Huang Yanzhong provides precisely that kind of insight. It details Beijing's efforts to tackle one critical and politically explosive issue—health care—and helps us understand where and why the country has succeeded and failed, and what more needs to be done.
The statistics are startling. China has one-third of the world's smokers and suffers around one million tobacco-related deaths annually; the cardiovascular disease death rate is higher in China than in the United States; and close to one hundred million Chinese are believed to suffer from diabetes. Public anger over poor care, rising costs, and corruption in the health care system triggered over 17,000 violent attacks against hospital doctors and health care workers in 2010. Moreover, horrific stories of tainted food and drugs have further undermined the Chinese people's faith in their government's capacity to provide an effective health care regime. As Huang notes, over the past ten years, the Chinese people have come to refer to health care as one of the Three New Mountains—health care, education, and social security—modeled after the old Three Mountains (imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic-capitalism) that the Communist Party deployed to bring down the government of Chiang Kai-Shek.
Huang takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the twists and turns of the various efforts by Chinese leaders from Mao Zedong through Hu Jintao to tackle the country's health care crisis. He explores the political battles surrounding three of the most pressing health care challenges the country faces: provision of good and affordable health care for all Chinese citizens, managing health care crises such as HIV/AIDs and the outbreaks of SARS and Avian flu; and developing an effective regulatory and enforcement system for food and drug safety. In each case, Huang finds evidence that Chinese leaders have learned from experience and from the outside world how to improve their practices. As a result, he can point to a number of advances in areas such as health insurance coverage or the strengthening of grassroots health care providers.
Yet as Huang amply demonstrates, these remain changes at the margin. He quotes a senior official from the Ministry of Health as noting that the most recent set of reforms launched in 2009 have not "solved the fundamental, systematic and structural problems [in China's health sector]." Even president-elect Xi Jinping's pledge to bring higher levels of health care to the Chinese people, coupled with increased investment in the health care sector (according to a recent McKinsey & Co. study, Beijing plans to triple its health care investment to $1 trillion by 2020), will not be enough to make the kind of difference in the country's public health system that China's leaders desire and its people demand.
Real change needs a far more radical set of political and institutional reforms that address how health care policy is made, financed, delivered, and evaluated. For Huang, that means health care policy "by fiat" cannot continue. What is needed, instead, he proposes, is reform in Beijing's relations with local governments, greater democratic participation, a robust civil society, the rule of law, and a true market economy. Without such reform, Beijing will never get at the heart of its public health care crisis.]]>

Izaak Walton League protects its land
By Alex Bridges
The Izaak Walton League of America's Warren County chapter has promoted conservation and the outdoors for nearly 85 years. But only recently has the chapter sought to protect its 155-acre home from development by donating its site as a conservation easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation.
The chapter's decision to put its property into protective easement falls in line with its support for conservation, said President Harry Reed.
Not all Izaak Walton League chapters have put their properties in protective easements. But the Warren County chapter may have an edge that attracted the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. The Izaak Walton League property includes a long border with the Shenandoah National Park and can be seen from overlooks along Skyline Drive, Reed said.
"This, in their eyes, makes us more valuable," Reed said.
The chapter property also includes a large swath of wetlands, a native trout stream and many unique plants, he noted.
"I'm very much an outdoorsman in that there's not much of the area I haven't been over in my life," he said. "It's still one of the prettiest places I've ever seen in my life."
The chapter leadership decided to protect the property it also uses for numerous educational and interactive outdoors activities.
"We're trying to have a piece of property that's never really developed, subdivided, turned into housing, things like this," Reed said. "This conservation easement puts everything into the deed. In other words, if this land ever passed into private hands they couldn't develop it."
The league chapter's site doesn't face any immediate threat of development, Reed said.
"Basically that's one of the principles of the Izaak Walton League is that they want to keep open space," Reed said. "We don't want anything developed."
While the chapter's property remained safe from development all this time, Reed explained that putting the land into conservation also reduced its value and makes it less attractive to private developers. The easement cuts the property value by 40 percent, Reed explained. Likewise, the property would provide less value to anyone who sought to sue the chapter, he added.
"But the thing of it is, litigation and stuff like this, somebody gets hurt and they want to sue. It makes this property less valuable for most people because it can't be developed. We haven't had any problem, but there's so much litigation and suits going on at the drop of a hat."
He described the chapter's deed and its included restrictions as a large tome of a document that took a lot of work and help from an attorney.
"We knew what the restrictions were and as a conservation group agreed with it,"
While the league also has no intention of selling its property, any future owner would have to abide by the easement restrictions.
The Izaak Walton League's conservation "is a lot more common sense," he said.
"There's so much conservation out there that's pie-in-the-sky," Reed said. "In other words, there are so many organizations they want to jump on the first thing that comes along without considering the ramifications."
Conservation easements can allow some development on a piece of property.
"We're limited, and what we use for recreation and everything like that I can't foresee that we need to do that much development in the future even way down the line," he said.
The chapter bought the 155-acre property in 1955 when much of the land's forests had been cut. The property looks different now with nearly total tree cover, he said.
The chapter can't build or disturb the soils within a certain proximity of Gooney Run.
For nearly 85 years the chapter has promoted clean air, soil, woods, water and wildlife in the Northern Shenandoah Valley. The chapter uses the property for outdoor recreation, education and wildlife habitat. Buildings on the grounds, including the chapter house, date back more than 100 years, according to information from a foundation press release.
The Virginia Outdoors Foundation recorded two other easements in Warren County this year to protect 730 acres in the Rockland Rural Historic District. One of properties fronts the Shenandoah River for more than one mile. The Virginia Outdoors Foundation holds easements protecting approximately 6,500 acres in Warren County.
Protections along Gooney Run qualified the easement effort to receive an $8,000 grant from Trout Unlimited's Coldwater Land Conservancy Fund to help cover the legal and appraisal costs associated with recording the easement.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
If flour is the only ingredient that contains gluten, then you can convert it to a gluten-free recipe. Just replace the flour with Bette Hagmans gluten-free flour mix:
2 parts white
rice flour
2/3 part potato starch flour
1/3 part tapioca flour and a teaspoon of xanthan gum
Beware of spices which contain wheat flour! Many manufacturers use wheat flour to keep spices from clumping.

I just finished creating this room for my fiances' daughter. She loves Hello Kitty and just had her 13th birthday on Saturday. Although she requested a Hello Kitty themed room, I was a bit worried she would outgrow the look by next year. I tried to add "teen" elements such as a vanity with nail polish station, sitting area, and picture display wall to keep her interest for longer:) I did the big reveal on Saturday with all of her friends.....I have not seen here since! She loves being in her room.....before there was nothing in there but an air mattress and a lamp. I had the carpet ripped out and had laminate installed....then I did the rest!

Checking In
Just checking in during a busy week of stitching and driving the kids to summer fun. Remember those Kona swatches I showed you not long ago? The fabric arrived and I've been busy cutting and piecing. Lots and lots of flying geese!
I also made a second modified Radiant Splendor Block. Can't wait to have more time to dive into this project and finish writing the full quilt pattern.
And in anticipation of school starting in 5 weeks, I'm getting my sewing room more organized and efficient. I just put together a new cutting table (see the back corner of the room). This is the Martha Stewart Living Craft Space Three Drawer Flat File Cabinet from Home Decorations Collection (part of Home Depot). I've always cut on my sewing table which I love…but it's made of reclaimed wood and is a bit "hilly" – not an entirely flat surface and it just hasn't been an ideal cutting area. I'm really happy with this new table which is totally flat and taller so I won't need to hunch over anymore. The top drawer is full of my quilting rulers and the bottom 2 have some current project fabric and notions.
Ok, back to the station wagon and sewing machine! Talk to you again soon!

Flutter Pillows
It seems I'm taking it a bit easy this summer (well, besides being chauffeur to my kids!), but I am happy to report I've finished a couple of pillows using the oh-so-cute Flutter fabric by Laura Gunn. Last time I shared this fabric, I mentioned I paired it with some of Laura's Painter's Canvas (which in case you are wondering, is quilting cotton, not actual canvas). She has a huge variety of colors but I selected a rainbow assortment.
I ended up adding piping to the butterfly pillow. I used a gray painters canvas I had on hand. I'm not exactly experienced with piping. I think the last time I made some was when I put together my Weekender. It turned out…ok. I know some people requested a tutorial and I'm sure there are much more experienced sources out there for that. I free motion quilted this pillow with some random loop-de-loops around the butterflies. I thought it gave a nice fluttering effect.
For my second pillow, I more or less fussy cut some little bugs out of the fabric. The different color bugs were all a bit different sizes, but I averaged them out to 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″. I then cut an assortment of the Painter's Canvas the same size and made a little rectangular patchwork design. I decided to quilt this one using decorative stitch 301 on my Bernina 750QE, using my usual 50 weight Aurifil thread in white.
I love that this machine does even wider stitches than my "old" Bernina (not really old). If your machine has decorative stitches and you haven't checked them out, I encourage you to do that! I've done this same technique on another pillow, using my Bernina 440QE and was thrilled with how that turned out as well.
One feature I tried out on my new machine this time was the "Start-Stop" button. See that green glowing button above? When I was ready to stitch, I pushed that button and it took off sewing without me using the foot pedal. I simply guided the fabric a bit. This was a nice feature considering how many lines I was stitching and let's face it – repetitive decorative lines can feel a bit monotonous at times.
The backs of the pillows are more of the Flutter fabric. I've given these to my daughter for her bedroom and they are already happily being used for her dolls.

Remember that awesome fabric I showed you before I left for Quilt Market? Well I cut into it today. I was really inspired to make something with the butterflies from Flutter first. I cut a couple of rows of them out, and then some 1-1/2″ strips of Laura Gunn's Painter's Canvas. My plan was to make a pillow from a bunch of log cabins with the butterflies in the middle.
But something about Laura's fabric always makes me want to appliqué. I say that sort of as a joke, but I think the last time I appliquéd something was also with her fabric! Hmmmm, something magical in those threads I think…
Once I completely changed my plan for this fabric, I recut fabric strips to 2″ and sewed those together in a rainbow gradient. I fused Heat n Bond Ultra on the back of the butterflies and cut those out as well.
I spray basted the rainbow stripes, batting and backing. Then I placed the butterflies on the pillow top and ironed them down (final step of the Heat n Bond). I used my Blindstitch Bernina Foot #5 to follow the edge of the butterfly, and moved the needle to the left a bit to stitch the butterfly down.
I didn't worry too much about it being perfect because 1) I love the frayed looked of raw edge appliqué, 2) this is a decorative pillow that won't get hard use, and 3) I used Heat n Bond Ultra for the fusing. After stitching around the butterflies, I started quilting in a loop de loop design.
It's not finished – almost! But I wanted to share my progress. I'm trying to decide if I should add piping around the pillow. What do you think? Hopefully I'll have more time to work on it tomorrow!

A Finished Quilt ~ Stardust
I may have set a record in amount of time to make a small wall hanging, but I've finally finished my Stardust quilt! This quilt is a small version (9 blocks) of the Stardust quilt from Vintage Quilt Revival. Several, several months ago, my aunt asked me to make a quilt to hang on the wall in her home. She gave me some size requirements and some colors she liked – golds, yellows, teals, browns. She loves flowers and nature. I didn't really know of a lot of fabrics that fit those particular wishes until I saw Carolyn Friedlander's Botanics line at Fall Quilt Market. I sent her a few design ideas from my new book and she told me to surprise her. Well….surprise!
Normally I like to take my quilts outside for photos in natural light, but since this is a gift and I absolutely did not want it to get dirty…and outside is covered in snow, mud and sludge…I decided to duct tape the quilt to the wall in our guest room for photos.
This quilt took me some time to put together, despite it's small size. Since I knew this quilt would hang on a wall and people would probably look at it quite closely, I really worked hard to get things just perfect. I am so happy I took the time. These may be two of the harder blocks in the book but practice certainly makes perfect.
I wanted the design to pop and I also wanted this quilt to hang nicely (not too loosely), so I quilted a dense meandering design with thread to match the individual fabrics. I purchased Aurifil #2132, #4182, #2835, #1148 plus used the white I always use. This meant a lot of starting and stopping. I followed Amanda Jean's great tutorial for burying knots during quilting.
I still need to attach a hanging sleeve, but this one will be off to it's new home in the next week!

Gallstones and gallbladder symptoms are more common among women. The good news is that gallstones are not inevitable. How do you know if you are at risk? And, what can you do to avoid developing gallbladder problems?
As Dr. Oz also says, being a woman in your reproductive years, being overweight and around the age of forty are all factors that increase your risk for developing gallbladder symptoms. It's also known that taking certain hormone medications (such as the birth control pill) and pregnancy are both risk factors for developing gallstones.
If you fit into one or more of these categories, do not despair! You can be proactive in keeping you and your gallbladder in good health.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Include lots of fiber in your diet.
- If you need to lose weight, do it gradually.
- Avoid trans-fats and refined cooking oils.
- Include enough omega-3 fats sources in your diet.
Dr. Marina Rose has helped people in and around the city of San Francisco with gallbladder symptoms and other challenging health problems

The WWF reports on a ground breaking study by McKinsey telling us that it is possible for Europe to be completely powered by renewable energy: "By 2050 the European power sector could be free of carbon emissions, and this new study is supported by WWF. The report states that a 100% renewable electricity system would be as reliable as our power system today and would reduce Europe's fossil fuel import costs."
Commissioned by the European Climate Foundation (ECF) in consultation with many large electricity companies and other organisations, the study shows that a 100% renewable electricity supply would only be 5 — 10% more expensive than other low-carbon options considered in the study, without the risks posed by nuclear energy and fossil fuels, making it overall the best option.
via Road map to 100% renewable energy in Europe by 2050.
The conclusion of the report does not come by surprise. However, the fact that McKinsey supports it is good news indeed, as it has the influence and connections to act as a link between academia and the business world. The report might help the top managers of leading energy companies to change realize how imminent a change of attitudes and strategies really is.

Sumerian Fairytale Lyrics - Grand Belial's Key
[Music: Gelal / Lyrics: Satanic Hordes, The Black Lourde of Crucifixion]
Beckon the burning sands of the universe
The ancient ones ruled before time itself
Commanding the winds, fire, waters and earth
Until they were challenged by the god Marduk
Blessed Tiamat release this bind
Thou mustn't prevent a kingdom in Hell!
Lower magicians, gather fast thy might!
Hordes of Azazel and Azagthoth
Stir the sick waters of the bay of souls
Invoke the darkness and spirit mayhem!
Lourdes of the underworld
Raise furious upheaval
Attack the prince of the heavens
And cast his corpse into black abyss!
Father mictian admit our sons

For they gave us life and gave us food
And so a throne comes from our doom
Reap some magick: Call forth the ghouls!

New threat to Brazil's breadbasket: a pesky caterpillar
It is a completely new approach, according to Rangel. "The helicoverpa changed everything about phytosanitary policy in Brazil," he said.
Brazilian Bureaucracy
"The solution for helicoverpa is to bring in products to control the helicoverpa - immediately," said Bombarda, an agronomist from southern Brazil who was lured by the potential to work with irrigation in western Bahia's frontier and employs full-time bug monitors on his farm.
The Bahia state government announced that Emamectin Benzoate, a substance manufactured by Swiss crop chemical maker Syngenta, would be available in March 2013, shortly after Embrapa identified the new caterpillar.
Yet a year later, farmers still do not have access to it.
"It turned into an unprecedented bureaucracy ... the government created a bunch of rules and obstacles," said Celito Breda, a cotton consultant in Bahia who has traveled across Brazil to discuss helicoverpa armigera and believes Emamectin Benzoate would provide the most efficient control.
Syngenta said the company awaited decisions from federal and state governments on regulations and permits needed to import the product, which is sold all over the world, including the United States and parts of Latin America.
Rangel said bureaucratic hurdles had been worked out and Emamectin Benzoate would be available with special approval on an emergency basis. He defended the government's caution, saying that as a top commodities exporter, Brazil must be careful about what pesticides are used to avoid retaliation from buyers.
President Dilma Rousseff's government has authorized 36 other chemical and biological products to combat helicoverpa armigera, Rangel said.
Syngenta's Loss, Monsanto's Gain?
Two weeks from harvest, Bombarda's soybean crop looks healthy. He applied pesticides 10 times, including five coats of Belt, a product he had never used before, made by Germany's Bayer AG.
Syngenta has so far lost out on what would have been a lucrative opportunity to sell Emamectin Benzoate in Brazil. But Monsanto, the world's largest seed company, had better luck.
Over the past 11 years, Monsanto developed a caterpillar-resistant soybean strain specifically for South America, with an eye on Brazil's growing pesticide reliance.
"Today there is basically 12 months of continuous planting and you don't break the pest cycle," said Renato Carvalho, an insect control specialist at Monsanto in Sao Paulo. "Over the years pressure increases, the pests become resistant to the insecticides and increase in population."

First of all thanks for helping me out.

I am developing an application using Google Maps API. It is an Android developement.

My problem is I need to get the coordinates of all locations within a certain marked area of a KML file. it is a KML which was created using boundary coordinates.

My application needs to enable the user to key in the exact location. After that my application will need to get the coordinates from Google Map and match it to the exact location on the KML file. It has to be based on exact coordinates.

The problem is, since the KML does not have all the coordinates, I am unable to pin point to the exact location.

I believe I can overlay the KML on the Google Map and that way capture all the coordinates of the marked areas within the KML. Is that possible as now I just am so stuck.

I hope someone can help me out here, emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Your kind assistance is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Venot Venothan Vimalanathan 2013-01-16T18:02:43Z

October 31, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin wildlife officials say hunters killed more turkeys this past spring than last year.
The Department of Natural Resources says hunters registered 41,815 birds during the 2014 spring season. That's up 10.7 percent from spring 2013.
The harvest grew even though fewer hunters were in the woods. The agency issued 211,307 permits, down from 210,496 last year.
The decline is due in part to a DNR decision to reduce over-the-counter permit availability by 25 percent in zones four and five and eliminate selling leftover permits completely in zones six and seven.
DNR officials say decent weather throughout much of the season helped the harvest.

There are several techniques for getting cheap tickets to Las Vegas shows but many of them aren't like your normal pleasant stroll within the park.
Shows are unlike commodities or groceries which can be kept and bought at a later time. It is impossible to market today the empty seat of yesterday's present.
Ticket prices move backwards and forwards more frequently compared to the pendulum of the grandmother clock right before a performance deadline since there is a narrow margin of time to produce or lose the most money out of it. A solution can offer at a sharp discount like half the fee or it may sell from a road scalper for 4to five times its standard value. It is virtually like flight tickets and accommodation rates. Maybe you have tried scheduling a journey on a single time? It might set you back a knee, right and an arm?
There are lots of ways to obtain affordable seats for Las Vegas shows. Every one has disadvantages and its advantages with respect to the situation:
1. Purchase same day show tickets at halfprice at many unit areas spread all over the Las Vegas Strip.
One can get excellent discounts at these locations that have a listing of available displays in those days. There are several companies running these stands to the Strip and downtown. You will find a number of them near Circus-circus near and MGM Grand. They close through the night and usually open at 10AM but be prepared for long lines. Simply inquire at your hotel front desk. They'll be quite acquainted with the specific areas.
The very best exhibits so are at convenient times and obviously often sell out early so that many times the tickets available are for implies that come in requirement that is less. Vacation year, national holidays or breaks ensure it is nearly impossible to acquire discounted passes to find the best displays including Cirque du Soleil. Tickets sellout weeks ahead of time and snagging you can resemble snagging a precious 1500-pound bluefin tuna.
2. You may also get discounted passes at the hotel you are residing in.
Because the principal organization of the resorts in Vegas is gaming they are inclined to give out extremely attractive rates on destinations, restaurants, exhibits and hotel stays.
The problem of this solution is that you are limited to the shows within the resort where you're arranged. Accommodations underneath the same parent corporation umbrella can provide discount tickets to sister resorts. The 2 biggest accommodations restaurants in Lasvegas are MGM Resorts Worldwide (Circus Circus, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, The Mirage, etc) and Caesar's Entertainment Inc (Caesar's Structure, Flamingo, London, Harrah's etc).
3. You can also decide to obtain a package trip.
Bundling your hotel stick to airfare and enjoyment can get you an extremely great deal. It is simple to find plans to Las Vegas at the renowned travel sites including Expedia and Travelocity or together with your travel agent.
4. Be searching for brochures, discount books and publications when you are in Vegas.
You'll actually be filled with discounts and presents beginning on your own journey to Las Vegas with-in-flight magazines, in the airport, shuttles or taxis, up and at your hotel, at attractions, restaurants to the time you leave Vegas. However, don't expect to get bargains on the major blockbusters for example Cirque du Soleil and Le Reve. If you may manage skepticism well and are flexible you may be ready to obtain bargains.
5. You can also try your luck with online auctions retailers like StubHub or eBay, that are two of the most reputable sites.
Some individuals obtain their seats from people or scalpers at or nearby the entrance of the present. We don't really recommend this method. The key disadvantage of those two last options is that the seats might prove to become solution and reproductions -scalping is not legal. So you might wind up working at the same time with shady people and buying the priciest tickets of your lifestyle.
6. Well known and also the easiest way to acquire budget-helpful passes will be to plan ahead of time.
You may get great deals as well as find lots of things if you prepare early to do together with the household in Vegas. Produce a comprehensive set of shows that you might be thinking about and select the the one that is reasonably priced.
Our best advice: book much beforehand you will make sure that the demonstrates you want can be found and which means you have maximum freedom. This can be particularly true if you should be traveling with children because you do not wish to be in lengthy lists in the sun using them. For a soothing Las Vegas vacation, plan. We propose the next methods that are valuable:…
