Indigenous Woman Leader Elected By the United Nations Appeals for the Right to Water
- Indicates that without this element Indigenous peoples cannot live with dignity.
- Indigenous women of the Americas offered their support in spiritual ceremony.
"The right to water is a human right that is protected by a wide variety of international mechanisms, including the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. There is a fundamental relation between the access to water and the ability to live with dignity," Cunningham explained.
Indigenous women from Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and Canada, members of the Continental Network of Indigenous Women of the Americas (known by its Spanish acronym ECMIA) and the International Indigenous Women's Forum (IIWF/FIMI), supported the election of Cunningham as Chair of the Permanent Forum by giving gifts from their various cultures and countries including water symbolized by a multicolor vase.
Dr. Mirna Cunningham, who was recently named Chair of the UN Permanent Forum of Indigenous Issues for the period 2011-2013, is a recognized leader and activist for the rights of Indigenous women. An Indigenous Miskito woman from Nicaragua, Cunningham was a surgeon and public health specialist, and was the first President of the University of Autonomous Regions of the North Atlantic (URACCAN). She is also an active member of ECMIA and IIWF/FIMI.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Another meeting with the New York Rangers was all the Pittsburgh Penguins needed to break out of their current funk.
Evgeni Malkin and Simon Despres each had a goal and an assist to back a solid performance from Tomas Vokoun between the pipes, and the Penguins extended their win streak over the Rangers to six games with a 3-0 decision over their Atlantic Division rival at Madison Square Garden.
Vokoun turned aside all 28 shots he faced to notch his 49th career shutout, while James Neal added a power-play goal to help the Penguins bounce back from Tuesday's 4-1 home loss to the Islanders, Pittsburgh's third setback in a four-game span.
Playing for the first time since captain Ryan Callahan injured his shoulder in a victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday, the Rangers generated little offensive spark in having a two-game win streak halted.
Henrik Lundqvist registered 26 saves in defeat.
Pittsburgh wasted little time in gaining the upper hand, as Malkin one-timed a feed from Despres past Lundqvist for a 1-0 lead just 1:24 into the contest.
The score would remain that way until the initial stages of the third period, when the Penguins capitalized on a New York penalty for having too many men on the ice.
Sidney Crosby fired a wrist shot from the right point that Neal deftly re- directed into the net, with the sniper's fifth goal of the season coming with only 28 seconds elapsed in the final frame.
The Rangers had a couple of opportunities to draw closer while still down 2-0, with defensemen Marc Staal and Anton Stralman both hitting the right post on blasts a little over two minutes apart.
Shortly after Stralman's near miss, Despres burst out of the penalty box and took in a pass from Pascal Dupuis before putting a backhand breakaway attempt underneath Lundqvist's pads for the back-breaking goal with 9:37 left to play.
New York mustered a mere six shots on Vokoun during the first period, but outgunned the Penguins by a 13-8 margin in the second. Still, the best scoring chance of the session came from Pittsburgh, when Crosby got in alone on Lundqvist in the final minute before missing high with his attempt.
Callahan is expected to miss between 10-to-14 days after being diagonsed with
a left shoulder subluxation ... Vokoun improved to 5-1 with a 1.34 GAA in his
last six starts against the Rangers. He had 31 saves in a 6-3 Pittsburgh
victory at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 20 ... Pittsburgh has outscored New
York 25-7 during its six-game win streak in the series, and improved to 9-2 at
MSG during Dan Bylsma's tenure as head coach ... Crosby has recorded at least
one point in 16 consecutive matchups with the Rangers, with the former Hart
Trophy winner having amassed 10 goals and 19 assists over that span ... The
Penguins claimed forward Zach Boychuk off waivers from Carolina on Thursday
while placing defenseman Matt Niskanen (ankle) on injured reserve.
Portland State fired football coach Nigel Burton on Wednesday after the Vikings struggled to a 3-9 season.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley on season-ending injured reserve Thursday.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly come to terms with Cuban power-hitting outfielder Yasmany Tomas on a six-year, $68.5 million contract.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich missed Wednesday night's game against Indiana after undergoing a minor medical procedure.
The National Hockey League handed down a pair of suspensions on Thanksgiving, one to a member of an American-based club and one to a member of a Canadian franchise.

does anyone know an easy way to remove latex silicone caulk from a fiberglass tub without leaving scratches or damaging the gel cote ?
- Forum >
- Miscellaneous >
- silicone caulk removal
ljs: Heating silicone caulk with the high setting on a hair dryer will work, the only problem is that you have to find some way of actually removing without scratching. Heating the caulk seems to make it pull off easier. How about trying a (don't laugh) plastic spatula (used for cooking in teflon pans). This should not scratch the fiberglass. Worth a try.
Heating it will help some. To get the residue off, try using acetone. then polish the tub using Sho Car Glaze car wax or 3M Finesse It. It's available from autobody suppliers.

The location is great. Just blocks away from several restaurants, coffee shops and a few stores. The pool area is large and centrally located in the middle of the property for all guests. My biggest compaint is that the property itself is a little tired and outdated. For example, the carpet in the hallways was rippling and the decor felt a very 1990s. The staff was friendly and the service was prompt; but the property itself did not "wow" me.

Pros: The location
Cons: Air conditioning
Location: The location is great for dining out
We were there for the labor day weekend from August 30 to September 1, 2014. The room we were in is Room 171, the air conditioner didn't work properly in the room, we set for 60F but it didn't cool down at all and the most ridiculous thing was our room was hotter than the hotel hall way!

great hotelPosted Sep 2, 2014
Pros: great location, rooms are nice, well landscaped pool area
Cons: more seating by pool
Love this hotel. Great location, great staff, always clean. My only gripe is there are not enough chairs by the pool. I consistently run into this issue at the hotel.

Building upon that earlier work, he explores the relationship between the life of the writer and his writings.

''In reporting the author's life, Emerson has endeavored to permit Mark Twain to tell his ow ...show moren story as much as possible, through the use of letters and autobiographical writings, some previously unpublished. These glimpses into the life of the writer will be of interest to all who have an abiding affection for Samuel Clemens and his extraordinary legacy.''--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melissas Great, friendly staff! Our first time here and everything exceded oír expectations! Staff held an impromptu guest service celebration and made us feel like family! Thank you, thank you! November 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RASF Nice hotel, great location I enjoyed our stay very much. We had a great time. The hotel is not in its best shape, considering that it was recently opened. Some minor details require attention, but that's just me being picky and used to certain SPG standards. If you are in the city for a fun night out, this is the place. November 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LProduct Wonderful Hotel! The Aloft Cancun is a wonderful hotel! The staff is very friendly, the restaurant serves up some tasty food, and the rooftop pool has an amazing view! My wife and I stayed there for three nights and absolutely loved it. The design throughout the hotel is funky and modern, my favorite thing was the floor in the elevator, it's a squishy liquid gel that changes colors and shapes when you step on it. We had a ocean view room on the corner of the building and could see a different body of water out of each window since the hotel is located on the point of the "seven shape" of the hotel zone. I got to be friends with the bartender at the WXYZ bar, Charlie, he's a great guy and makes the most amazing margarita I've ever had, and I would consider myself to be a connoisseur. The hotel is located in heart of the nightlife action and has plenty of restaurants near by. They also gave us free entrance passes to the Mandala Beach Club during the day, which was is a really nice place with several swimming pools, lounge chairs with umbrellas on beach, and food and beverage service. We can't wait to return to the Aloft Cancun! November 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Soleil12 extra charges on bill- beware! The Aloft facility was as nice as other Aloft Hotels, but we had a charge that we did not purchase during checkout. They would not show us the receipt, nor after the supervisor said we would not be charged, would they give us anything in writing. The front desk girl was rude and the supervisor didn't seem able to trust his staff. We have never had this experience at a Starwood property. The charge did show up on our credit card even though the supervisor acknowledged that we did not sign for it. It is a small charge, but we guess they think this will fly under the radar with guests. March 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HiggyHockey2012 Great Hotel Stayed 4 nights in October (off season) 2013. Great staff (thanks Rafael!) Friendly and helpful on all fronts and locations. Location is great for walking to clubs and the ocean - be sure to get a free pass to Mandala Beach Club for ocean access from the front desk. Pool is nice, though on the smaller side. Rooms were comfortable, though slightly disappointed the windows didn't open. Overall, a great hotel for the value. October 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by mn2014 The staff is friendly and helpful We stayed in Aloft Cancun from 10/16/14 to 10/25/14. I would like to say the special THANKS to our concierge TERESA RUIZ. She answered all our questions and gave us the good advises. The staff at the lobby desk was friendly and helpful - Andres Esquivel. We don't speak Spanish, and the people at the front desk helped us a lot. The room was clean. Food and service in the restaurant in the morning were great. I think the staff in this hotel is excellent. October 27, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by Alex987654 Long way to go Hotel is brand new and did not seem ready to open. They would not honor SPG gold amenities or room upgrades. The room had a coffee maker but no coffee. In 5 days they could not find me any. Had to ask for basic things like soap and a do not disturb sign. Located in the noisiest most traffic prone area of the hotel zone. Getting to the hotel from either direction at night sometimes took an hour even though it may be just a mile. Finally, the valet parking ramp was built too steep, leading to cosmetic damage to the bottom end of rental cars, which you then have to deal with at the airport. I love Starwood, but never again at Aloft. July 30, 2013

Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this
This is my 3rd new Tahoe and the worst. To improve gas mileage Chevy has included a design defect in the motor which causes a drone/rumble and steering wheel vibration in V4 mode. I complained to the dealership, customer relations and the Zone Manager about the problem and the only answer I get is "its operating as designed". Every time we drive it we are reminded that we bought a lemon by the vibration and rumble in V4 that sounds like bees circling around my head.
Make no mistake, this is a common problem not only in the Tahoe but also the Silverado, Suburban and Camaros. The only way to get rid of it according to the forums I've participated in is to have a tune done that eliminates the V4 mode but this voids the warranty. So I'm stuck with a clunker that I can't wait to get rid of when I get another pile of cash. LOL

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This is my fifth Tahoe and is the best to date. I have a LT with the Luxury and Sun & Entertainment packages. My only recommendation is to offer cooled seats on the LT.
Currently, you can only get the cooled seats with the LTZ. The vehicle is totally overhauled from the previous generation. It handles and rides very smoothly. There is a long list of technology options included for 2015.
I highly recommend this vehicle.
We bought a 2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ about a month ago. I cannot be more pleased with the smooth ride and sleek design. I appreciate the fact that this is an American made vehicle that bucks the trend of the boring utilitarian look we have grown accustomed to. For too long the imports have flaunted the most stylish SUVs. The new Tahoe is both impressive to look at and to drive. Here is to the homegrown class and sophistication Chevy has offered to it's design starved American customers!
I just acquired my 4th Chevy Tahoe (i.e., 1996, 2003, 2007 and now, 2015). I bought the LTZ model (highest trim level) with the Sun Entertainment package (i.e., sunroof and rear seat entertainment system) and active cruise control, and the price retailed for around $68,500.00. I did, however, manage to negotiate it down to $62,500.00, including destination charges. My wife has a Range Rove HSE Sport), which costs a good bit more than my Tahoe. Although I have my biases, in my opinion, the Tahoe blows away the Range Rover or any other luxury SUV for that matter when you compare the features and quality against the price you pay. The exterior looks aggressive, yet stylish, while the interior compares well to almost any luxury car I have sat in, including Mercedes Benz and BMW—especially with the captain's chairs in the second row of seats. It drives and handles like a luxury sedan (e.g., 0-60 in about 7.0 seconds)—not a truck, and boasts a tighter turning radius than my last Tahoe. I love the safety features and the electronics, including the connectivity (USB ports all over the interior), and my son loves the BluRay DVD which he can control with a separate remote control. Don't worry parents, he can watch and listen to a movie through the wireless headphones while you listen to your own music in the front. The designers have carefully thought out almost every detail, big and small, so I think those looking for a full sized luxury SUV without paying for a MB or Range Rover should seriously consider this vehicle. You would not be "settling" by any means. Those who complain about gas mileage, though improved slightly over my 2007, do not belong in a Tahoe (or Suburban).

Reviews of Pittsburgh Furnace Contractors
Pittsburgh, PA
We hired Mr. Wohlfeil to replace our furnace and hvac unit a couple of years ago. I couldn't imagine using anyone else for future repairs or replacements. Not only was Eddie highly professional, he was knowledgeable about his work, kept us constantly informed of the progress of the project, and took an interest in the quality of the work that I've never seen from any contractor. I would not hesitate to refer Eddie to friends and family (and I have several times).
Pittsburgh, PA
Brian came on short notice to keep our project moving. He was prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone with heating or cooling needs.
Bridgeville, PA
Called in 20 min from first contact, he offered to come out next day. I had to call him back because I needed to make arrangements to have someone home. Called him back 4 days latter, he could not come for 4 days. Even after I told him that I had to shut the main water line off. I would still use him because I delay the first response.

We just purchased a new cooktop and oven from Ikea, as we are having an Ikea kitchen installed. There was a range in the previous kitchen, so there is only one 220 outlet on that wall. The installer says we need another 220 outlet to accomodate both appliances, but the electrician says it will be a huge job because of the location of the breaker box, and the fact that the house has two stories with no attic to run the wire.It will be too costly to add the outlet, and the line would have to fo underground tearing up the front walkway.
Are there cooktops that will use a 110 outlet? We have been advised to return the cooktop and oven and just go back to a one piece reange because of the electrical issue. Can you think of another option for us?

Parmesan crisps
Does anyone know how to make parmesan crisps? Thanks..
Just a mound of shredded cheese on a silicone-lined baking sheet or a non-stick skillet , med-to-med-high heat and watch them, then let cool before removing. I've seen it done with just a shake of flour mixed in but don't think it's essential. I've done them on my wafflemaker, too.
re: greygarious
I use the same method but use parchment paper.
re: alwayscooking
We use parchment paper on a baking sheet, too--no flour. Super easy!
re: greygarious
don't "mound" but rather spread out in a layer.... Gourmet mag mixed the shredded parmesan with a little flour then flattened spoonfuls into circles on parchment, baked until crisp. I've never used the flour and then still come out great
re: greygarious
Terrific using assiago also
re: Sam Fujisaka
glasses work, so does a mini/standard muffin tin depending on the size you want (less glasses to wash) :)
I also wanted to say that if you're just making one or 2, you can do them in a small non-stick skillet. Spread the cheese in a thin layer, cook over med-low to low heat and watch carefully. You want the oils to cook out, but you dont' want to brown them. Browning makes them bitter. You can also make cheese crisps from other cheese. Surprisingly, pre-shredded cheese work really well for this application. Sargento shredded sharp cheddar makes great cheese crisps. Again, don't let them brown, the brown is very bitter.
re: janetms383
Bitterness might depend on the cheese, or your palate - I certainly don't find Swiss bitter when it browns.
Thank you for pointing out that I neglected to include the part about spreading the mound into an even round. I think I've read that pre-shredded cheese usually contains a tiny amount of added starch, to keep it from clumping, which is probably why it makes good crisps.
re: janetms383
I've made them in the cast iron pan as well as on an unlined cookie sheet.
re: janetms383
I don't think the pan needs to be non-stick either. The oil cooking out of the fricco makes for its own non-stick surface.
re: janetms383
just don't do what I did last night - it's a coincidence I'm seeing this post today, wish I saw it then. I experimented and put them in a non stick pan that had a bit of olive oil in it, and I ended up with parmesean gum.
If I just want a few for a snack I put them on a plate and pop in the microwave. I mound the parm., sprinkle with cracked pepper, and put them around the edge of the plate cooking until they are just crispy.
I have seen Giada make large flat ones and then put in a muffin (or maybe it was a mini muffin) pan to form little cups, that she filled with something. Guess I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention! LOL! Sorta like what Sam said.
Here is a recipe from WFM:
Make sure you don't use that powdery stuff in the bag in grocery stores, it will just burn rather than melt. IMO, it works better w/o parchment as they seem to get crisper and it doesn't cause a big mess on the sheet.
We also add spices to the cheese like oregano or rosemary. They also taste great with dry rub for BBQ.
When warm, you can form them into mini taco shell shapes using a variety of methods, but one is using tin foil snakes lightly formed into about 1-inch diameter, drape fricos over. When cooled, fill with a lightly dressed micro greens salad with maybe a few chopped veggies, like cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, red onion, shredded cheese. Two-bites-sized. Serve and eat before the salad softens the frico.
re: tiramasue
yes, I've had them at a party where the cheese cups were in the shape of a shot-glass, filled with caesar salad...she called them salad shots...they were really awesome!
My girls and I actually experimented with various cheeses the other night. Parmesan worked well. We mixed in some cooke pancetta and whoa were they good. We also used gruyere, mozzerella, cheddar and havarti with dill. The gruyere was my favorite. Didn't care for the mozzerella at all. It's kinda fun and the only way to screw them up is to burn them
re: cityconnection
I use shredded Parmagiano Reggiano.
re: cityconnection
Not the "green can" or other powdered Parmesan, but it doesn't HAVE to be the really pricey stuff. Any decent-quality shredded Parmesan will do - either buy it shredded or get a chunk and do it yourself.
re: greygarious
Costco has a Parm. Reg. that's shredded in a large plastic jar, that's pretty good and at a good price.
re: michele cindy
pre-grated cheese has stabilizers in it, so doesn't work for this.
re: hotoynoodle
I have no packaging on hand at the moment, but I can tell you that I always buy pre-shredded (not grated in the powdery texture sense) Parmesan (usually Trader Joe's or Costco) and have no problems making crisps with them, in the oven, frying pan, or wafflemaker.
re: sparkareno
Well, they're not shatteringly crisp, and the edges are crisper/browner than the center. But it sounds like you need a little more time and/or higher heat. Don't walk away - they'll burn if you aren't quick to remove them when ready.
re: greygarious
Are you maybe using too much cheese? All you need is a thin layer.
re: KTinNYC
I'm doing them in the oven & using a Tablespoon & then flattening it out. I grated the Pecorino on the big holes of my box grater & only added black pepper & some of them I sprinkled the tiniest bit of gorgonzola on too. Some of the outer edges are crisp but the center is chewy (not pleasantly so) & not what I'm going for. I cooked them at 375 & they got golden in about 6 minutes--let cool on the parchment. I want to serve them with roasted pear soup.
re: sparkareno
I think you need to shred the cheese on the smaller holes. Skip the gorgonzola.
re: greygarious
really? should I use my microplane which makes it almost like a powder?
re: sparkareno
No - you said you were using the large holes on a box grater. Use the smaller holes (NOT the side with the sharp protrusions that grate rather than shred). You want shreds like uncooked fine noodles for chicken soup. Gorgonzola melts differently so I'd omit it until you get the right result with the Pecorino - then try your "tiniest bit" and see if it still works.
re: greygarious
OK--will do some more tonight--at least I like eating the rejects...and the gorgonzola tastes amazing on them. I think I will also try letting them cool off the pan..maybe on a rack. thanks greygarious (beautiful dog)..
re: sparkareno
The gorgonzola is probably the problem. It has a lot of moisture that will inhibit the crisps from getting crisp.
re: KTinNYC
actually I only put the gorgonzola on 1/2 of them--the others were plain & still chewy. I'm trying another batch tonight.
Ok, I just finished another batch of frico---success!!! I mixed cheese grated on the big holes w/ chesse grated on the small holes, let them cool on the pan for about 30 seconds & then transfered to a cooling rack & they were super crispy! I did one w/ gorgonzola & it wasn't as crisp---not bad but not like the others. They are very salty because of the pecorino (one of my guests is lactose intolerant so can't use cow's milk cheese) but I love them. Thank you to all who helped!
Easiest way is to buy the Parmesan in a brick, the harder the better. Shave it with a potatoe peeler. I'll do 4 or 5 slices on a paper plate (coated) for about a minute and a half in the microwave.
You can tell when done by watching. When the oil/fat has separated from the slice, and the cheese is getting firm but still bubbling, pull it out and flip them onto a paper towel. They will harden and cool in a few seconds, no they won't stick.
You are left with one of the yummiest snacks a low carber will enjoy!!!
This takes 'em a level up--layered with tomatoes cooked with onions in BRANDY, then ricotta. And on my list to make. YUM!
From my thread about my Three Cheese Crisp Sandwich, here is the simple recipe and my photos of how I make Parmesan Crisps. Some like to add a pinch of cayenne, garlic powder and other spices to the cheese. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/845369
Parmesan Crisps
8 tablespoons fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (Italian, imported, never the stuff in the green can it won't crisp), grated on the large holes of a box grater.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a rectangular baking pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
3. Place a 2 ½-inch biscuit/cookie-cutter (I use a simple rubber bracelet) on the mat at least one inch from the top and side of the pan, and sprinkle one tablespoon of cheese evenly into the mold. Remove mold and repeat with remaining cheese, spacing cheese mounds at least one-inch apart from each other and the sides of the pan.
4. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheese crisps start to turn golden brown.
5. Remove from oven and let set a minute, then remove crisps and place on cooling rack until cool. Yield 8 crisps.

I was tempted to say P is for "pool" in honor of my recent gift to myself of a gym membership to get access to one, but one doesn't really *need* a pool to successfully maintain. However, one *does* need patience!
Neither attitudes nor physical attributes change overnight. I read somewhere, and have quoted here before that it takes a year to mentally adjust to each 25 pound change in weight. So, I've been "down" 75 pounds for a year and three months... figure I have a year and nine months staying at this point before this theory says I'll have successfully adjusted to being where I am now.
Patience is required when our all so human natures show... in dealing with other people, whose attitudes we cannot control... in life in general.
And what is maintenance but living our lives with health as a priority - another great P for maintenance, no?
Spark on!
No, not the political movement... this is an apolitical blog. But I'm not above pulling you in with a title and a photo. These are the tents that represent the "Occupy Lincoln" movement, and I have to walk past them every day. Multiple times as I go to work, take my break walks, and head home after work. As I walk by them, the brain starts spinning.
Since I was reading a historical novel when they first arrived, the thought of a siege came to mind. "Occupation forces", an army camped out. Yesterday, I decided I'd best take some snapshots before the rumors starting to show up in the news about "evicting" them results in no longer having an opportunity to do so. Or, the November weather does the same thing, regardless of action or inaction by the powers that be.
From my Webster's - "Occupy: 2 to hold possession of by tenure; specif. a) to dwell in"
This is SO pertinent to maintenance! We are occupying our home weight range! We are occupying a fitness level. We occupy by tenure, i.e. time maintaining ourselves here.
In a siege, the occupation forces might start out in tents, but eventually they sometimes built "counter-castles", eventually taking over the place. That's the plan with maintenance: take over that home range, build on it, and stay put, now in charge and ruling the joint.
Here's to our own "occupation"... of home weight range! It might be tenuous at first. But if we keep on building, soon, we are the masters and mistresses of our domains.
Life's good... Spark on!
Mary (CookMe123), I swiped the "new normal" from your blog! Sparks flying all over the place here.
Maintenance is all about having a new kind of normal. In this "new normal" healthy behavior dominates; what we used to do that got us to the top of our weight ranges is the exception! Not completely eliminated, because naturally slender people *do* still on occasion have celebration days and special food. But in our world of "new normal" we have to find ways of coping with that celebration that does not tip us over the edge into long periods of relapse.
For me, the "new normal" requires a good deal of vigilence, as my Spark-friend Marenamoo says "Be always vigilent". KaseyCoff gets props for reminding me of this yesterday in her blog.
New normal says "I am small. That's OK. I take care of myself. I listen to my body and give it what it needs, whether that is nourishing food, exercise, or rest. I make my health a priority, and manage the rest of my life around it." This is maintenance... the new normal. Welcome home!
Life's good. Spark on.
I had no clue until just now that "Monday" would be my "M" word. But you know, often since weekends are a "trying" time for me and my program, Monday is a very positive thing. Monday is the "OK, back to work, back to routine!" signal that the trying time is over, let's settle down and do what we know works. It's like getting a free "Day 1" each week.
I think back to my mother, and her habits of dieting Monday to Friday and then "eating normally" over the weekends. I think back to her as I prep my Jenny Craig entrees and remember how she "retired" from the kitchen after dad retired from the office. She went to a lot of frozen meals at that point, too... but they were Schwann's truck purchases.
Hmmm... might be more like "Mom" than I thought.
Anyway, here's to a great new day, new week, starting with a good Monday!
"for life" as in we're in this for the rest of ours! But also as in living life to the fullest. Kaligirl started off her recent Alphabet Blogs (she still owes us a Y and a Z) with "AWAKE! ALIVE! AWARE! and Appreciative of ALL that IS"... what better phrase to describe what I'm getting at here?
Being fit, and staying that way, requires us to be present in LIFE! "Awake, alive, aware, and appreciative of all that is" is what will keep us motivated and moving.
Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and joined a gym. It was one I belonged to maybe eight years ago... it has a pool, and it has spinning classes... the two things I am going to need to train for that triathlon as I go through the Winter months.
And I could not resist the lure of that big, at the moment empty pool. The football game was just wrapping up downtown as I slipped into the water. I had not swum laps regularly in some time, so I wanted to make sure I didn't "overdo". I promised myself 20 minutes, and then I would stop, no matter how good I felt.
This is something I have learned about cross training... if you overdo the first workout, it makes it harder to go back with enthusiasm for the second! So, I did my thing: rotating strokes, side right, side left, breast, elementary back, crawl, back crawl... three rotations, a length of the pool each, then an extra set of sides and breast/elementary back, for a total of 22 lengths. Satisfied, I spent five minutes in the jacuzzi after before showering and heading home. Ahhhh!
Observation? It didn't feel like a first workout. But this morning? My shoulders know they had one.
Second observation: this is the first time I have joined a gym when I was already in decent shape. It is a totally different experience, inside my head. You get treated differently, for one thing, based on how you conduct yourself. When I walked in at 200 plus pounds, I would hang my head, and people would not respect that at 50 something years of age I knew what I wanted.
Yesterday, head high, firm grasp on my goal (that triathlon)... I was obviously the customer and in charge. Yes, I may hire a personal trainer, but I know what I want out of it this time. And I get a playground in the bargain.
Life is good. Spark on!

Photos: Three Days Swimming around the Hawaiian Na Pali Coast
As an Olympian swimmer, it's been a decade-old goal of mine to take on the choppy waters of the Na Pali coast, located off Hawaii's oldest island of Kaua'i. The rugged coastline leads into rough waters that are even challenging for a professional swimmer like myself, but it's something I've always wanted to take on.

Aaron Peirsol Retires from Swimming
Five-time Olympic gold medalist and Oceana spokeswimmer Aaron Peirsol has announced that he has retired from competitive swimming.
27-year-old Peirsol is regarded by many as the best backstroker of all time, with world records in the 100- and 200-meter backstroke.
And he's made a big splash in the ocean conservation community too, with his Race for the Oceans, whose proceeds have gone towards Oceana's work to protect the oceans.

On Sunday, amid performances by the Roots, Passion Pit and John Legend, Oceana spokeswimmer Aaron Peirsol spoke at the Earth Day Climate Rally on the National Mall here in Washington.
"Ocean acidification is a real threat, as is overfishing," he told the crowd. "New drilling must be forestalled while other invaluable, sustainable alternatives such as wind energy adopted. Today, I'm helping here by speaking and partnering with the ocean conservation group Oceana.
Together, we created Race for the Oceans, an open water swimming event that raises money and awareness toward ocean conservation. We also created Racefortheoceans.org, an online forum for swimmers and conservationists alike."

Going Once, Going Twice...
Okay, so stop me if you've heard this one…
What happens when four top NGOs team up with a world renowned art dealer for Earth Day?
You get an unprecedented partnership that culminates in Christie's First Annual Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth. Wait, did you think I was telling a joke?
Oceana, along with Natural Resources Defense Council, Conservation International and The Central Park Conservancy, NBC Universal, Barney's of New York, Deutsche Bank and Target have been working to put together the April 22 auction that takes place at Christie's in Rockefeller Center in New York as part of the 40th celebration of Earth Day.
Christie's is waiving its usual fees, so every penny from the live auction and silent auction goes to the four charities. A ton, and I mean a ton, of amazing artwork and items are up for bid the night of the event, but you don't have to be at the event to make a bid to save the earth.
Today the online silent auction launches and along with the artwork and items up for bid there are a boat-load (pun most definitely intended) of experiences on the block including swimming lessons with Oceana supporter and gold medalist Aaron Peirsol (with a $5,000 bid as of 10 a.m. this morning) and sailing lessons with Ocean Conservation Yacht Club Commodore Kristen "The America" Berry.
Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Aaron Peirsol on the Ice
Oceana spokeswimmer Aaron Peirsol is not always on the water -- sometimes he's on the ice.
Last weekend he attended a Dallas Stars hockey game as a part of their Olympic Series. He spoke to fans about what it takes to be an Olympian and the importance of ocean conservation, explaining how events like the Race for the Oceans contribute to Oceana's mission.
Fans were able to meet and mingle with Aaron after the talk. A portion of each ticket that was sold to Aaron's speech was given back to Oceana.
The event was a great success; Aaron had a great time, and needless to say, so did his fans.

A pleasant scene well exposed, but I think the shot lacks a more 'daring' approach, as a close-up with a wider lens to add dynamism and a touch of drama ...
A good idea that needs working on ... work from a lower viewpoint with a shorter lens to maximize the wharf ... avoid including the prow of the boat on right ... go for black and white maybe ... and this yellow line (bottom right) should spring out from the corner I think ...
An original idea for a picturesque scene; B&W is not a bad choice, but the light is a bit harsh. Overall a pleasant picture.
Th wooden frame is distracting in that it takes up a lot of space and that its tones are not in keeping with the general high key impression. the model's expression I don't find very inspiring either. The shot would be more convincing for me were it not for these two facts.
Good angle, and the bird really fills the frame; but the feather stems appear to be sharper than the eye, also brighter. To me it should be the other way round.
Good lighting and sharpness; beautiful face with an interesting expression. On the downside, I find the skin tones a bit too warm and the smoothing has been done to excess (to my liking of course).
Good attitude and colours, the bird stands out well; not quite sharp enough though, and the green of the leaves is not in keeping with the other colours. A good shot still.
I like the framing, the use of the diagonal, the sharpness, the colours, the lighting ... but why such a small size ?
Exquisite mushrooms, splendid colours, good composition with the heads of the mushrooms forming a curve as it were. All three of them are in focus; I'm not sure about the bit of cobweb , and the clearer zone of the out of focus foreground is a bit a distraction.
Excellent atmosphere, the subject is crisp and the colours are nicely pale, in keeping with the season; it's just too bad about the power lines.
Those birds are hard to capture, they're very active and you have to really make efforts to get close enough. I wish you good luk for your future efforts ...
Not much to criticize here, the expression is excellent, the use of the diagonal for the biker is very dynamic; the colours are good with the athlete like 'shrined' in all the golden leaves. Light is a bit harsh but this is no studio !
Nice B&W tones and good framing, not many technical flaws but there has been too much smoothing for my taste ...
I think I see your point ... the lil' feller with the sharp eyes gazing from behind his bunch of out-of-focus friends. Maybe the picture would be more effective if cropped a bit, to eliminate the boy on far right. He's redundant anyway ! Good B&W tones.
The setting has been used creatively, those straight lines contrasting with the circle (turned into an ellipse ...) in a perfect symmetry. The angel brings out the model's face, hands and shoulders, the rest of her body is nicely unobtrusive, not interfering with the geometrical background.

My sister and I stood in the charred remains of a life that once was and did not say a word. What was there to say?

To be honest, I was more than a mite worried. I was plenty worried.

Sometimes, I look across our yard and sigh somewhat woefully, "Too much of that stubborn red Georgia clay shines through." I think, "Oh, one day." I have been thinking this for six or seven years.
