I'll be flying to Florida on Tuesday. Dparents had a serious car accident and Dmom needs surgery. DDad is fine but, of course, somewhat under shock. Prayers appreciated for both of them and a safe flight, unaffected by hurricane activity, for me - l'll send an update when I can. Thank you, SP friends!
Wrapping up the August Declutter challenge today. It's been a busy week, so I sometimes had to search for things to declutter at the last minute. That doesn't mean I'm finished with decluttering, just that I didn't have the time to start any major projects. While looking for stuff to declutter, I found some leftover, red-white-and-blue picnic utensils, some extra paper supplies, etc.) that I can use on Monday when we do our English Day for Kids at church - it's part of the community summer vacation program.
Meanwhile, at work, I continued to toss paper, too. My teaching materials - at least the ones I keep at the language school - are in much better order.
Thanks to Beth and Marcia for hosting the challenge on their blogs! www.mysimplerlife.com/blog/ and organisingtips.blogspot.com/
By the way, as part of the challenge, I won a drawing for one of Beth's e-courses on simplifying your life. So I look forward to keeping the momentum going in the weeks ahead!
Only 6 photos this time - I don't have a photo of the big stack of paperwork that I decluttered from my locker and binders at the language school. That felt good - and, as I was sorting and tossing, I also got some good ideas about how I can better organize my notes and teaching materials for my English students.
By the way, Ralf the Paper Shredder has already given up the ghost. I'm afraid I may have to buy df a new one!
Here's a link to Beth's blog. She's hosting the August Declutter Challenge along with Marcia: www.mysimplerlife.com/blog/
Here's my stuff from Week 2 of the August decluttering challenge being hosted by Beth and Marcia ( organisingtips.blogspot.com/2008/08/this-clutter-definitely-makes-my-butt.html )
I actually had more photos but accidentally deleted (decluttered) them. But you get the idea!
Sunday evening...I often go Nordic walking or jogging on Sunday evening. I'm enjoying the longer days of summer while I can. Last night I decided to leave the poles at home and run my usual route. I've got my eye on a 10K race at the beginning of September and it's certainly not to early to get serious about training. As I was running, I was reflecting on/praying about things that came up in the morning worship service, and after a bit, I realized that the running was easy! Granted, my pace was slow, but since I started running again a few months back (after a pause of something like 20 years!) I've really had to concentrate on form, breathing, posture and such. Yesterday evening, I was just running for awhile, the form and breathing just fell into place as my mind was occupied with heavenly things --- and that felt really good!

Loadholt, Winfield Probable For Monday NightPosted by on November 12, 2011 – 1:34 pm
The Vikings played their last game prior to the bye fairly banged up. But they'll enter their first game coming out of the bye in pretty good shape.
Antoine Winfield, who has missed the previous 4 games with a neck injury, was a full participant in practice all week and is listed as probable on the week's final injury report. RT Phil Loadholt, listed on the injury report with an illness, is also probable. The only starter who will not play because of injury is RG Anthony Herrera (knee).
The Packers come into Monday night's game in fairly good shape as well. S Morgan Burnett (hand), LB Clay Matthews (knee) and G Josh Sitton (knee) are all listed as probable. Rule out for the game are T Chad Clifton (hamstring), DE Mike Neal (knee) and LB Frank Zombo (hamstring).

I noticed that too– fair and balanced reporting. Ridiculous.

I know, it's so unfair that they don't talk about our team. We should be 8 -0, we are the best team in the NFL. Just cause we score less points than we allow doesn't mean anything. Points don't win games. Everybody paid the refs to beat us. The Packers should be 0 – 8. I can guarantee an undefeated season the rest of the way. I put the team on my back by posting this.
By Justin F on Nov 12, 2011 | Reply
The reason is that the Packers are media darlings. They're 8-0 and they get the admiration from everyone, from ESPN to the NFL. There's alot of bias out there when there's a undefeated team lurking around. I do wish they commentated on how the Vikings could have a chance, though.

I am really hoping that the VIkings win the Monday Night game against the Packers… if we win I'll go out on to the street, take my shirt off and run around the town, yelling: "Packers suck! Vikings rule!!!" Literally! =))

It is tiring hearing how great the Packers and Rodgers are. I hope that we take it to them on Monday!!

That ruined my day that those commentators don't make mention about my team. I think they do it just to be mean. They are jealous of us Viking fans. They wish they were us. Even if we lose by 3 td's I'll still count it as a win. That way in my mind the Vikings will never lose.

You are correct about the Vikings O Line. We have to actually modify the offense BECAUSE the Line cannot hold their blocks long enough for a long pass.
Ponder may be as good as some say, but we will never know what he can do when it has to be, ONE, TWO, THREE, release or run on almost every play.
Why do you think the Vikings actually went to a FULL HOUSE BACKFIELD?
:))))) :))))))) :)))))))
By Frederick Jones on Nov 12, 2011 | Reply
Why would the Vikings draft a defensive back high this year?
Why would the Vikings draft an offensive lineman this year?
Why would the Vikings use money or trades to get offensive linemen
and defensive backs this year?
You see…it's never going to change with the current administrators

Hey there Nova ! I actually hope he ends up getting serious jail time, though it won't surprise me if he doesn't. There needs to be a message sent to these young, filthy-rich athletes that they are in fact NOT above the law and should be penalized just like everyone else, which unfortunately doesn't happen as often as it should. These types of allegations and crimes are so much more important than football and should be treated with the appropriate level of seriousness. With that said……GO VIKES !

If AP gets over 125 yards rushing & over 75 yards receiving I think we win – cuz that would mean we were able to sustain drives and keep The Packers offense off the field.
By 3DONTHERADIO on Nov 13, 2011 | Reply
Granted of course, that Loadholt is able to at least partially contain Matthews, who I believe usually lines up on the right side. For me, the jury is still out on big Phil.

I really believe with Winny full speed and hungry, Jared getting 2 plus sacks, AP doing his thang, and with our superstar in the making rookie playing like a pro,
we can take the Green Gay Slackers!

Oh yea, NFL(Noses Fully Lost) playbook, the most disappointing 1 sided video I have ever seen! How can they just talk about Slackers the whole time, it was very weird! Beating the Slackers would be an extra special slap in the brown nosing broadcasters faces! P.S. I have a 1st class fcc broadcasters license! So I will call it like I see it!

Beg to differ but having Winfield and Loadholt playing will really help us Monday night. I just do not understand how people can throw players like Loadholt under the bus without giving him a chance. He is in his second year and started as a rookie. Let him develop. I think his run blocking is pretty good, his pass blocking needs improvement but down the road with more experience he will be good. Saw him in Detroit at a Lions game, he is a huge man, believe me we need him.

Another thing we have going for us this week is the S. I. cover curse. Had to look at all those Packers on the cover and I didn't even bother reading the article inside the magazine.

@ CanadianVF – Just an FYI – I didn't "throw Loadholt under the bus." I said the jury is still out – in my opinion. I too believe he can be good – but he's not there yet.
@ NWMNVIKESFAN – I also had a 1st class license and worked in radio many years ago – hence the reason for my handle/blog name. It's one i used on-air back in the '70′s ! :-}
By CanadianVF on Nov 13, 2011 | Reply
@3Don, I actually wasn't referring to you when I made that comment. It was more directed at the fans on here that day in day out, week after week trash our offensive line, I really do not think it is that bad. We have AP getting enough holes to be at the top of the rushing stats, Ponder seems to have time to throw and Sullivan and Loadholt are second year players. We drafted some more linemen in the last draft that could be good. I am sure we will go after at least one good lineman this year in the draft. So I don't things are as dire as some of these people seem to think. On another note I agree with what you said about Cook, very disappointing, of all the places we did not need to lose a good player and former high draft pick it was that area of the defense. That one really hurt us an awfull lot!

@ CanadianVF – Got it ! And yes about the Cook issue and our struggles in the DB area. What a waste of talent and a young life !

Was just reading some blog articles to get the local vibe of this game, national media sucks. Great to see some Viking fans are still supporting this team, you guys best last place team in the league, seriously.
At the same time, how does it feel that you might be the only team in your division that doesn't make the playoffs? Ouch. But good luck tonight, hoping for a miracle so we can get the #1 seed.

I guess it feels better to be a losing team in a division in which every other team makes the playoff than to miss the playoffs with the winner of your division going 7-9 ;)

@ 49ersfan, thanks for the blog and visiting ours. Your team is an example of how quickly a team can turn things around in just one season. It gives Viking fans hope for next year when you see teams like the Bills, Bengals and 49ers dramatically improving in a short time period.

Prep/Total Time: 15 min.
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Oil for frying
10 flour tortillas (6 inches)
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine sugar and cinnamon; set

a time in skillet, cook for 5 seconds; turn and cook 10 seconds
longer or until browned. Place in sugar mixture; toss to coat. Serve
immediately. Yield: 10 servings.

Humboldt County has earned the reputation of being one of the most conscientious places in California. Blame it on the prevalence of secondary education intuitions, the influx of the "hippies" in the 1970s, or our constant exposure to nature, but this area is a mecca for those who see a problem with the way Americans are conducting their lives, and strive to do better. Consider the popularity of the farmers markets, or the Eat Local Movement. Or how Arcata's citizens passed ordinances limiting big, impersonal chain restaurants from setting up shop in their town. It seems that we as a community have made a stand, sending a message to the rest of the nation that we are willing to sacrifice personal benefit for community values. Yet when it comes to making personal sacrifices for the betterment of not only our community, but the entire planet, it seems as though Humboldt County is falling short of the mark. In Megan Hansen's article ("On the road in Humboldt", Times-Standard, Nov. 22, Page A1) the citizens of Humboldt County got an inside look at one issue of the environmental movement that we have neglected.
Although our local public transportation system is no rival to those serving metropolitan areas like Portland or Los Angeles, it is a disgrace that only 1.4 percent of workers use public transportation.
Every year Americans witness more and more effects from global warming. We can do many things reactively: We can organize charitable funds to help people recover from events like Hurricane Katrina or Superstorm Sandy, we can lament changing weather patterns, and we can adjust ourselves to the new animals that move to make their homes in our changing climate. But if Humboldt County collectively acts proactively, staying consistent with our mores, then we may not need to spend so much on adjustment. The point here is clear: With the advancement of global warming and the human race's (not to mention all other carbon-based life forms) dependence on our environment as we have known it, residents of Humboldt County cannot afford to choose convenience over utility. By making the necessary sacrifices now to invest in our future, we may be able to offset negative effects of global warming. And if we can't, at least we can tell our children and grandchildren that we tried.

Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel (D-Great Neck) has released the following statement on Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposal for a new Long Island utility company.
"The reforming of Long Island's electric utility is a step in the right direction. However, I have yet to see the Governor's proposed legislation, which will frame how this new plan will be implemented. I have given the Governor a detailed list of imperatives that I want to see in his plan, which includes public hearings, a debt management plan, strict oversight over the utility provider, and a stable rate base. I look forward to working with the Governor and my legislative colleagues so we can have a plan in place before the end of the legislative session."

Howard Kroplick was just settling in to his new position as North Hempstead's town historian in April of 2012 when a phone call from a resident who found an old headstone led him into a comprehensive study of all 28 cemeteries within
the town's boundaries.
Kroplick, an East Hills resident for 29 years, serves in the unpaid role as an advisor to the North Hempstead board, out of his longtime love of history. His exhaustive study of the area's cemeteries has helped him complete a history of
North Hempstead that will be published in January, which will coincide with the 400-year anniversary of the discovery of Long Island, by Dutch explorer Adriaen Block. It was Block, according to Kroplick, who first identified Long Island as an actual island, not a peninsula as many believed back then. The 128-page book from Arcadia Publishing is the first ever written about North Hempstead.

KPMG in the UK embarked on a journey of transformation during 2013, in pursuit of our strategic goal to dominate professional services. Our Annual Review highlights how we bring real benefits to our clients, our people and society as a whole.
After seven years of turmoil, the banking sector can finally shift focus from cleaning up the debris caused by the financial crisis and start making steps towards delivering sustainable growth and profitability.
Explore why technology firms should choose to invest in the UK. We consider what the UK currently has in its favour as it battles for technology investment.
Technology has revolutionised the day-to-day lives of individuals and organisations alike. But if we're to continue to benefit and to profit from it, and if we're to minimise the potential downsides, we're going to have make some choices.
We help our clients understand current issues and future trends in the world of work, and identify how they can enhance organisational performance through their people.

Keep up to date with the latest news and views from KPMG in the UK by following our twitter feed.
KPMG's leadership blogs brings you insight, opinion and debate from our senior partners and industry experts.
Banks must redefine themselves in the coming years to secure their long-term futures. This means embracing new cultures, transforming their delivery capabilities, and replacing outdated infrastructures with modern, flexible technologies that enable product innovation and growth.
Undoubtedly challenges still remain. Value-driven, ethical approaches must be embedded. Transparent and efficient transactions need to be prioritised to ensure that UK banks can compete in today's increasingly fair and efficient markets. Greater focus must be placed on better outcomes for customers to earn their trust. Lastly, banks must revitalise their business models not only to cut costs and remove unnecessary complications, but also to unify their businesses and implement effective risk management and controls.
If banks are to improve the way they behave as a business, they will need to implement first class strategic transformation initiatives. Technology will play a key role in helping UK banks to survive during a period of vast innovation and digital disruption. Robust central information systems and effective data management will underpin their success, however this will require significant investment.
The road ahead for UK banks is challenging, but the power of positive thinking should not be underestimated. At KPMG we believe the future is ripe for the taking and we can provide the forward-thinking insights and expert advice to help you navigate the path to long-term banking success.
The past six years have been traumatic for financial services. In his speech to the BBA Annual Banking Conference, Bill Michael looks to the next five years and what the future holds for the banking sector. Wherever the future takes us, the fundamental need that banks satisfy is at the heart of our society and it will not go away.
In this film Richard McCarthy and Giles Williams discuss how banks can look towards a brighter future and explore the implications of the forthcoming G20 Summit.
Watch the video here (external link).
In our latest UK banking benchmarking report Richard McCarthy sets out how, after seven years of turmoil, the banking sector can finally shift focus from cleaning up the debris caused by the financial crisis and start making steps towards delivering sustainable growth and profitability. The report also analyses the mid-year results, highlighting core trends and observations.
The outlook is positive for UK building societies. The mutual sector has seen continued growth throughout the year, but it must tackle a number of unprecedented challenges that it now faces.
The direction and details of regulatory reform need to be adjusted to facilitate the contribution of the financial sector to jobs and growth. This paper sets out specific proposals to promote and facilitate the contribution of the financial sector to the wider economy.
Following the election of the new European Parliament and ahead of the confirmation of the new Commission, KPMG has published a new report, New Commission, New Parliament, which analyses the changes required to the regulatory reform agenda to support the increasing emphasis in Europe on jobs and growth.
Read the global report, explore the data and compare UK customer experience against other markets.
Perspectives offers unique insight and opinion on emerging customer trends and channel developments in the Financial Services sector. Its aim is to help you understand how evolving customer needs, technological advances, changing regulation and new industry entrants are impacting the distribution landscape.
The 17th annual Future of Retail Banking Conference will see leaders from the UK's biggest retail banks come together with innovative challenger banks and key industry influencers to debate how the sector needs to adapt to compete with new entrants, meet evolving customer demands and adhere to new regulation.
KPMG is sponsoring the BBA's Better Banking – Building culture, ethics and standards for a good banking system. We will be presenting and debating core issues in these areas alongside Sir Nigel Wicks, Andrew Tyrie, The Hon Mr Justice William Blair and Karina McTeague amongst others.

Conrad paints a vivid picture of the heart of darkness which is the mind of man.
Beautifully written, rich, rich imagery, totally absorbing.
I really don't want to waste anything about it for anyone, except to tell you to please read it. It won't take you long and it's entirely worth it. One, perhaps slightly odd, thing I will note is that the narrative style really reminded me of F. Scott Fitzgerald, in particular The Great Gatsby. I'm not sure why, given that the subject matter and time period are so vastly different - I think it's the dynamic between the two male leads.
First of all, I'd like to state that the real reason why I started reading this book was because of the game Spec Ops: The Line (my current favorite one), which was apparently based on it. So right to begin with, if you played the game you'll probably know what I was expecting of this book: something less complicated and more explicitly mind-blowing. What I got in the end was a book that I did not understand, thus the low rating I gave it.
Please notice that I did not hate the book, the reason why I disliked it is because it was difficult to understand rather than "I was expecting something similar to the game". The narrative is different from the books I'm used to read. I had to re-read several passages over and over again until I finally gave it up and decided to move on regardless if I did or did not get the meaning of everything the main character said. There is character development in the book, and I assume it's a strong one, but it's so goddamned implicit that I think I went over it and did not notice anything unusual. Heck, I was too busy trying to understand the plot itself to actually be able to figure what was going on with the characters. As I result, I probably got neither of them right. Was there anything about a change of personalities or main goals or priorities?
Seriously, like Tales of a Tub, I'm pretty sure this book is splendid. Too bad I don't have enough patience to cope with the classic writing style.
Conrad's conflicts always involve the sea or a river in some way. He pits modern man with his vices/virtues against the primitive and always finds him lacking. Heroes are brought low and jerks become redeemed. Always a good read and a gifted writer.
I read this book in high school and appreciated it, but made no personal connection. Interesting story, but no plans to pick it up ever again.

Police caution NH residents who step in to help stop crime
Feeling "something was up," Vaillancourt called police, then grabbed his double-barrel sawed-off shotgun and headed across the street.
He saw a man opening a window and, while keeping the shotgun on his shoulder, told the man to sit on the ground. "I said he should probably wait there until the police show up," said Vaillancourt, 56.
The would-be burglar obeyed. Police arrived minutes later and arrested the 19-year-old Manchester man on burglary charges, along with two other people waiting in a parked car nearby.
Police say they welcome the public's assistance in stopping crime, but they don't want people to intervene as Vaillancourt did.
"When something happens, we appreciate any details people can give us," said Manchester police Lt. Maureen Tessier. "It's when they take it to the next level that we're not comfortable with it. Police have the training, the equipment and, quite frankly, the backup to handle those situations."
Lt. E. Zenus Paulson of the Nashua Police Department said, "There are too many unknowns in these situations - is the person armed, their state of mind. It's too risky.
"We appreciate the assistance and any information they provide that helps lead to an arrest," he said. "You can't say we don't. But someone's safety should always be the top priority."
While police may prefer that residents not physically confront or detain individuals they suspect of committing a serious crime, it is allowed under state statute.
According to RSA 627:7:IV: "A private person acting on his own is justified in using non-deadly force upon another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes it necessary to arrest or prevent the escape from custody of such other whom he reasonably believes to have committed a felony and who in fact has committed that felony."
Vaillancourt said the gun never left his shoulder.
"I think just seeing it was intimidating," said Vaillancourt, who got the shotgun 26 years ago to protect his home and business, Camaros Plus. He had checked with Manchester police to confirm the legal length (18½ inches) before cutting it down.
He has never needed to use the gun, but says he wouldn't be afraid to if he was ever again in a similar situation.
"I wouldn't do anything different. Not at all," said Vaillancourt. "If the guy was armed with a rifle or a pistol, things might have turned out a little different, but I would feel sorry for him. I had a 12-gauge, double-barrel sawed-off shotgun - and I wouldn't have missed."
RSA 627:5:IV also says private citizens are justified in using deadly force to defend themselves or a third person from what they believe to be the imminent use of deadly force.
Gary Hobbs tackled an alleged thief in the driveway of his Manchester home in September 2011, pinning the man to the ground until police arrived.
Hobbs, 42, was sitting in his kitchen one morning eating French toast with his then-9-year-old daughter when a neighbor called, saying someone was outside going through the cars. He stepped outside and saw a man rummaging through a Volvo.
Wearing flip-flops at the time, Hobbs - who stands 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 265 pounds - took a few steps toward the man.
"He took off," said Hobbs. "I started to run, and after about 15 steps, I caught him. I put him on the ground, put a knee in the small of his back, got him in a chicken-wing hold and that was the end of it.
"I'm a big guy, but I'm faster than I look."
Hobbs called police and kept the individual, identified as Theodore Macenas, 20, of Manchester, pinned to the ground until officers arrived. Macenas was arrested and charged with theft, receiving stolen property and criminal trespass.
Now, 17 months removed from the heat of the moment, Hobbs says he has never second-guessed his actions.
"I've never shied away from something like that," he said. "I never worried about the danger. You think for a second, 'Could he have a weapon?' But I was thinking of my daughter inside and just acted."
State police often receive calls from drivers reporting a motorist operating erratically or in an unsafe manner, said Lt. Nicole Armaganian.
"We prefer callers leave it at that and not pursue the driver," said Armaganian. "Let us handle it from there, and don't put yourself in what can become a dangerous situation."
When the public does help out, it makes news. In recent headlines:
--Two Queen City teens witnessed a drugstore holdup, then trailed the alleged robber to Derry, relaying details of the man's location until police could move in and make an arrest.
-- A Manchester resident directed police to a home across the street where he believed a burglary was in progress, resulting in two arrests.
That's the kind of help police said they welcome.
"If you see something, we want you to say something," said Capt. Vern Thomas of the Derry Police Department. "But we prefer you be a good witness than confront someone. Getting us information about what someone was wearing, what they looked like, where they were headed - all of that is valuable to an investigation.
"And you probably won't get punched, kicked, or worse getting it."
Hobbs, who works in the repossession business and occasionally accompanies bail bondsmen, said since his incident he has been the victim of some property damage, though he wasn't prepared to label them acts of retaliation for helping catch a thief.
"There was some damage done to my car (scratches). I've had something thrown through a window," said Hobbs. "Minor stuff. Your name is out there, people hear where you live, and that's the chance you take - that someone will come looking to get back at you.
"But I can't say for sure these were related to taking down that guy. They could just be coincidental."

It was later that day when the mail came. They were all sitting in the living room watching some show on TV. Jeremy became visibly nervous when they heard the mail slot open. "I'll get it," Jeremy offered quickly. He ran out there to get it. The other boys all looked at each other. Jeremy came back in a minute later. He tossed the mail to Tom. Tom flipped through it. "Bill, fanmail, bill... Jeremy, where's your transcripts?" Tom asked. "How should I know?" Jeremy snapped defensively. Tom raised an eyebrow at the kid's tone. "You brought the mail in. They were supposed to come today Jeremy. Now where are they?" Tom asked sternly. "I don't know!" Jeremy all but yelled. "Jeremy Jonathan Scott! Give me the transcripts right now young man!" Tom yelled. Jeremy glared at him. "Go to hell!" Jeremy snapped back. The other guys had been watching quietly, but groaned when they heard Jeremy say this. "That's it! Upstairs, right now!" Tom yelled standing up and pointing towards the stairs. Jeremy glared at him and stormed up the stairs. Tom followed a minute later.
Tom went into Jeremy's room and saw him sitting on the bed glaring into the distance. Tom ran a hand over his face. "Why Jeremy? Why are you trying to hide the transcripts?" Tom asked sounding exasperated. "Who says I am?" Jeremy asked with a smirk. "You know I can look online and see whatever it is you're trying to hide," Tom said. Jeremy looked nervous. "I highly suggest you tell me right now. I won't be as mad if I hear it from you and don't have to go look it up," Tom said. Jeremy looked down and mumbled something incoherently. "What?" Tom asked. "I said, I got kicked out of my last school," Jeremy muttered. Tom looked shocked. "Why and when?" he asked. "It was a week ago and it was because I..." he trailed off. "You what?" Tom asked sounding annoyed. "I had marijuana on school grounds," Jeremy whispered. Tom looked pissed as hell. He sat down on the bed. "Stand up," he ordered. "Why?" Jeremy asked, sounding confused. "Just do it," Tom growled. Jeremy slowly stood. Tom pulled the kid in so that he was standing in between his knees. Tom yanked the boy's pants down and pulled him across his lap. "What are you-" Jeremy started, but was cut off by a sharp swat to his bottom. "What the hell!" Jeremy exclaimed. Tom started to swat his bottom at a steady pace. "You can't do this! You can't SPANK me!" Jeremy exclaimed. Tom chuckled. "I can't huh? That weird. Then what do you call this?" Tom asked sarcastically. "Tom! Stop it!" Jeremy yelled. "I'm pretty sure you aren't at liberty to tell me to stop," Tom replied. All the while he continued to swat the boy's butt. Jeremy decided to stay silent.
After twenty or so swats Jeremy started yelping slightly. "Please stop Tom. Ouch. I'll- Ow- be good. Ahh!" Jeremy pleaded. Tom hated this. He hated seeing his youngest brother in pain. But it had to be done. A minute later Tom started lecturing.
"You SWAT will never SWAT do drugs SWAT again WHAP do you SPANK understand me SWAT SWAT SWAT?" Tom lectured. "Y-yes AHH I doooooo," Jeremy cried. "You SWAT will not SWAT SWAT swear SWAT at me SWAT again SWAT SWAT!" Tom said. Jeremy sobbed harder. "Yessssirrrr!" Jeremy answered hoping to end it soon. "And SWAT SPANK you will SWAT SWAT not WHAP hide things SWAT from us SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT!" Tom scolded. Jeremy just lay there sobbing. "Yessssssss!" he managed to choke out. Tom steeled his heart. "Almost done buddy," he whispered. It was more to himself than to Jeremy. He landed six of the hardest swats to Jeremy's sit spots. Jeremy just went limp and lay there crying. Tom rubbed his back for a minute. When Jeremy's cries had quieted down some, Tom lifted Jeremy up and sat him on his lap. Jeremy yelped as his bottom made contact with Tom's leg. Tom quickly shifted him so that his bottom wasn't touching anything. Tom pulled him in for a hug. Jeremy clung to the older boy's shirt and cried. Tom rubbed soothing circles on Jeremy's back. "Shh. It's okay buddy. You're okay. Everything's forgiven," Tom murmured to the boy. Jeremy curled up close to Tom's chest. Tom lifted him up so that he was carrying the boy on his hip. Jeremy whined slightly at being moved. Tom carried him downstairs to see the other boys.
Max, Siva, Jay, and Nathan all sat there after the other two went upstairs. "Tom is going to kill him. No question about it," Jay said. The other boys agreed. A minute later they heard a slapping sound. It sounded like someone was hitting someone

Reno, NV – October 28, 2014 – Today, the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC), the coalition created by Return to Freedom, responded to the Nevada Department of Agriculture's (NDA's) press release issued earlier today regarding the removal of Virginia Range wild horses from the range.
Salt Lake City, UT (October 22, 2014)….
Wild Horse Advocates Urge State to Finalize Agreement for Private-Public Management Agreement
Lakeview OR (September 24, 2014) . . . On the eve of Interior Secretary Sally Jewell's visit to the Lakeview, Oregon Bureau of Land Management (BLM) District, wild horse advocates are calling on her to ensure fair and effective sage grouse protections that target the major cause of habitat degradation – livestock grazing – and do not scapegoat wild horses.
Washington, DC (September 18, 2014)....The Public Employees Environmental Responsibility (PEER) this week released an analysis that exposed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for scapegoating a relatively small number of wild horses on western public lands for range damage caused by vastly larger numbers of livestock.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (September 10, 2014)…. Late last week, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah granted a motion by the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC), The Cloud Foundation, Return to Freedom, photographer John Steele and wild horse advocate Lisa Friday to intervene in a lawsuit filed by the Western Rangeland Conservation Association and Utah ranchers against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Denver, CO (September 10, 2014).... Today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit denied an emergency motion to block the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) wild horse roundup in the Wyoming Checkerboard. The motion was filed by the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC), The Cloud Foundation, Return to Freedom and wild horse photographers Carol Walker and Kimerlee Curyl.
Washington, DC (September 5, 2014)….The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC) today called for an across-the-board hold on the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) Wild and Horse Burro Program in the wake of exposed corruption and overpayment of approximately $2 million to the Utah Department Corrections Industries for "questioned" and "unsupported" costs related to the holding and training of captured mustang.
BLM Wyoming Wild Horse Roundup Delayed as Advocates Appeal to Tenth Circuit
Cheyenne, WY (August 29, 2014)…..Late yesterday, the U.S. District Court in Wyoming granted an emergency injunction to delay until September 13 the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) planned roundup of more than 800 wild horses from public and private lands in the Adobe Town, Salt Wells Creek and Great Divide Basin Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in an area known as the Wyoming checkerboard.

Breathe in slowly ... La Jolla Community Center offers new meditation class
By Ashley Mackin
When most people think about meditation, they picture someone in white, sitting cross-legged on the beach. Certified meditation instructor Wendy Stuart, through her new meditation class at the La Jolla Community Center, hopes to give participants techniques for meditating anyplace, anytime and wearing anything they want.
"Wendy participated in our health fair this year and the minute I met her, I saw she had a warm presence and wanted to help people. I thought she'd be a great addition to the center's roster of classes and instructors," said Nancy Walters, executive director at La Jolla Community Center. "This class will fulfill the need of members looking for a holistic approach to balance, relaxation and healing."
Stuart's class clarifies the things that meditation is — and is not.
She said people have different hesitations about trying meditation, and many are based on misinformation. The "biggie," she said, is that the act of meditation may conflict with religious beliefs.
During Stuart's guided meditation sessions, she insists people use any words, images or deities they wish to make them more comfortable. "If you don't like how I (reference deities), bring in (that imagery) your own way.You can say 'angels' or 'Jesus' or 'Mother Mary' or 'Buddha' — whatever words make you feel happy and safe — to supplement what I'm saying," Stuart said.
Another block people put up to meditation is telling themselves they can't do it.
"There are those who say, 'I know I can't break patterns in my head. I've tried and I can't do it,' " she said. "But I have methods I use to assist these folks and they see that they can (meditate)."
Some of the words involved with meditation also make people nervous — words like "pagan," "Celtic," "Druid" and "energy healing" — she said. In her classes these words are used as historicalreference and not as theistic suggestions.
Lastly, Stuart said people worry over the idea of being vulnerable during meditation, which is why her primary objective is to make people feel safe. A class starts with Stuart getting an idea of how the group is feeling — whether they've had a stressful week or mellow week — and while she encourages people to talk, it is never required.
"People will come in with similar energies most of the time," she said. "If a group gathers, there's a reason." She then tailors the meditation session to the needs of the group. As practiced by Native Americans and Druids, Stuart creates a circle of energy and draws upon the four elements. She explained these elements represent different energies and can contribute to what meditators hope to accomplish by being there.
"Fire" represents movement, change, purpose and passion; "Water" represents relaxation, a feeling of melting and expansion; "Earth" represents centering, stability, grounding and security; "Air" represents releasing stress and pain, bringing in clarity and the ego.
Sometimes during a class, Stuart guides the class through visualization meditations, such as going to a place in nature, imagining a conflict being resolved, sending positivity energy to a situation or building confidence for the coming week.

UK scientists express joy at LHC switch-on
Summary: After the first circulation of a particle beam round the Large Hadron Collider, UK scientists told ZDNet.co.uk of their delight at the successful operation of the largest machine in history
2 of 5Image
On the morning of Wednesday, 10 September, 2008, the first particle beam was successfully sent around the full circuit of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern).
The new science resulting from this grand experiment will turn up in the coming weeks and months, but what Wednesday's event did prove was that the world's largest machine works. Part of that machine is the cathedral-sized Atlas detector, one of two general-purpose detectors (the other is the Compact Muon Solenoid, or CMS) in the LHC.
Atlas's development and construction benefited from a great amount of UK involvement, particularly that of the Science & Technology Facilities Council. Pictured above is the very first image from Atlas showing the particle beam passing through.
ZDNet.co.uk was at a Science & Technology Facilities Council event in Westminster to see, via video-link, the LHC being initiated. On the following pages are some initial reactions from those involved in Atlas and the wider LHC project.
Professor Jon Butterworth of University College London heads up the UK's involvement in the Atlas detector. "This is the biggest high of my career so far," he told ZDNet.co.uk after the first successful beam circulation in the LHC, which took just under an hour to complete. "I didn't think they'd do it so quickly and smoothly."
"This is the first time [the LHC] has functioned as a single machine," Butterworth noted. He added that, although no new science as such came from Wednesday's events, the machine "shows a lot of cutting-edge technology, so in that sense it is a breakthrough".
"We'll probably be getting science out of this thing for 20 years," Butterworth said.
Peter Barratt is the communications chief for the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC), which distributes UK government funding for scientific research. He described the first beam's circulation as "fantastic".
"We were all a bit apprehensive, but they got the first beam round in just under an hour," Barratt said. "We're now looking forward to the energy ramping up." He also added that it was "mindblowing" for particle physics to be getting the international exposure granted by coverage of the LHC.
The STFC will continue to fund the LHC through the UK's subscription to Cern and the funding of research scientists, Barratt said. "Once we start receiving the data [from the LHC], those guys need to sit down and start analysing it," he said. "Maybe they will overturn the physics textbooks as they are at the moment — who knows?"

Hopes abound for newborn foal of champion
May, 4, 2012
By Steve Wulf | ESPN.com
Kyle Acebo for ESPN The MagazineZenyatta's firstborn has a lot to live up to: His pop won the 2006 Preakness Stakes, and his mom is the highest female money earner in the history of the sport.
You need to catch your breath before you begin to describe the scene.
Under an April sky that's a tribute to the colors of the NCAA basketball champions crowned the night before, another champ frolics with her scruffy foal on an emerald pasture. To be more specific, the dark bay mare is the magnificent Zenyatta, the yet-to-be- named foal is her 26-day-old colt by 2006 Preakness winner Bernardini and the pasture is Paddock 1 at historic and majestic Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Ky. To be more metaphoric, they represent the past, present and future of horse racing. But at this particular moment, there's really nothing to discuss.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" asks Jerry Moss, the LA-based music executive who, together with his wife, Ann, owns Zenyatta and carefully watches over a legacy that brings even hardened horsemen and railbirds to tears. "To watch the two of them in this setting, there's nothing quite like it."
(Sigh again.)
Zenyatta gives her colt a little head start before she chases him down. "Look at her," says Ann. "She looks like she can race tomorrow. But she seems as happy to be a mother as she was on the track."
She certainly loved to run. Zenyatta won 19 straight races over four years, including the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic, where she became the first female winner. Her only loss came in that same race the following year, her last race before retiring. But even that 2010 defeat, in which she came from far off the pace only to lose by a nose to Blame, enhanced her legend and popularity. Famed trainer Bob Baffert once said, "The minute Zenyatta passes my horse, I start rooting for her."
So it was a big deal when it was announced last year that Zenyatta was being bred to Bernardini, one champion to another. Horse breeding is something like alchemy: part science, part magic. There have been proven sires and brood- mares, but there are no guarantees. Derby winner Barbaro's full brother Nicanor has been a disappointment.
The first attempt to impregnate Zenyatta didn't take, but the second did, and as she approached full term, the web traffic on zenyatta.com became too much for the site to handle. Its popularity has a lot to do with Zenyatta, of course, but it also owes something to Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, the stable manager for the Mosses and the wife of Zenyatta's trainer, John Shirreffs. She also happens to be Zenyatta's ghostwriter. Diary Post #454 reads:
"Dear, dear, dear friends, I am so proud and elated to share the news with you that IamnowaMOM.Ijust gave birth to a lovely dark bay COLT, March 8th, at approximately 10:10 p.m. Eastern Time. My adorable foal weighed in at 130 pounds, has a white star on its forehead ... and some white on its feet. As Ann commented when she saw him, 'He has polka dots on his feet, Zennie, just likeYOU.'"
Charles Campbell is the assistant manager for the 174 broodmares at Lane's End, and he had already participated in the delivery of five foals that day when he went to check on Zenyatta. "I could tell it was time," he says. "But she was in excellent spirits, eating hay right up until her water broke." The Mosses, who had flown in for the birth, were having dessert at a local restaurant when they got the call that Zenyatta was about to deliver. They quickly paid the check, drove under a full moon to the nearby birthing barn and donned the special blue coveralls they'd been given for the occasion.
Normally, only a few people attend the birth of a horse—no need to distract the mother or the vets—but for this one, there were about a dozen folks, including Bill Farish, the son of the farm's patriarch, Will Farish; Mike Cline, the longtime general manager; a veterinary crew led by Dr. Richard Holder; and a small camera crew hired by the Mosses. "It was a textbook delivery," says Cline. "The foal was on his feet and nursing within an hour."
For those in the industry, the news of the birth to the equine version of Brangelina came at just the right time, as a counterpoint to all of the negative publicity surrounding the deaths of horses that led to the cancellation of the HBO series Luck. On March 17, California thoroughbred landmark Santa Anita Park held a special "equine baby shower" for Zenyatta. The track handed out "It's a Boy!" posters, and the Mosses, Shirreffs and jockey Mike Smith signed autographs.
Two weeks later, the Mosses returned to Lane's End for Zenyatta's own 8th birthday party. She received a mail sack full of cards and letters as well as a special carrot-and-pear birthday cake with a Z of carrots in the middle. The next day, Zenyatta and her owners attended the special presenta- tion of a check to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund—the proceeds came from the auction of one of Zenyatta's halters donated by Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital to help the victims of the recent spate of tornadoes in the area.
As with many retirees, Zenyatta is staying busy. She is scheduled to be bred to Tapit, the gray stallion who sired the nearly white Kentucky Derby entry Hansen. Needless to say, it will be interesting to see the result of that pairing next winter.
But for now, all eyes at Lane's End are on Zenyatta and the foal they call the Little Prince or Dumpling. And at this moment, they're both coming to the fence to see what all the fuss is about. It remains to be seen whether the foal can live up to his breeding, but he definitely has his mother's pointed ears.
Cline, holding a pail filled with carrots, says, "I've been at Lane's End for 33 years, but I've never known a horse who's meant so much to so many people. There's just something special about her. Take this carrot, for instance. Most horses will eat the whole thing, greens and all. She measures it and chomps it off right at the stem. Here, try it."
You do, and that she does, leaving you holding the stalk with just a little bit of orange showing. Then she looks at you and sizes you up, in a different way from how she measured that carrot. As beautiful and magnificent as Zenyatta is, it's the intelligence in her eyes that gets to you.
"She's more than a horse, you know," says Ann Moss. "She's just this incredible being."
